It is important that we meet strict regulations while operating the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC) to protect the environment. Located in Courtice and owned by the Regions of Durham and York, the DYEC is a waste management facility, designed to safely produce energy from the combustion of garbage, while reducing the volume and methane potential of the residual material being sent to landfill. Our emissions limits continue to be among the most stringent limits in the world. These environmental monitoring conditions are in place to protect human health and the environment. The DYEC uses pollution control systems and proven, reliable, energy-from-waste technology to monitor and mitigate emissions including dioxins and furans. While some emissions are measured continuously to monitor DYEC performance, all emissions are measured through annual spring and fall stack testing. The following table compares how the DYEC is performing compared to the dioxins and furans emissions limit as set out in the facility’s Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA). The results show the DYEC continues to operate safely below the strict limits. Spring 2021 Source Test Results for Dioxins and Furans *Note: preliminary results for Spring 2021 under verification. Results and report to follow and will be posted on DurhamYorkWaste.ca. The DYEC is also equipped with a Long-term Sampling System (LTSS) for dioxins and furans. This system draws a continuous sample through a filter cartridge, which is analysed monthly in a laboratory for dioxins and furans. While this testing is not done for compliance purposes, it is used to determine dioxins and furans emission trends and/or fluctuations, as well as demonstrating the ongoing performance of the Air Pollution Control Equipment. The Region has committed to providing quarterly reports on the LTSS which will include the sampling results and will be posted on DurhamYorkWaste.ca when available. Local air quality surrounding the DYEC is also monitored through two ambient air sampling stations. All monitoring results from our stack testing program and our ambient air monitoring program are submitted to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and are available to the public at DurhamYorkWaste.ca. The MECP has confirmed that air quality in Clarington is similar to that of other urban communities in southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY Build it and they willcome! The classic promise from film "Field of Dreams" works for morethan baseball diamonds, obviously. When his wife wanted a waterfall in their backyard in Newcastle, Phill Holder designed and built her one, curious about what wildlife mightshow up. They were both pleased when a green frog moved in and, prince of the pond, nearly doubled in size over the summer. Frogs and toads are born in water, tadpoleshatched from egg masses laid by mom and fertilized by dad in early spring, amid a lot of splashing,peeping, croaking and clutching. But when, mag- ically, gills change to lungsfor breathing and limbs re- place tails for locomotion, froglets are free to hop off across the land looking fora good place to grow up in, a safe situation with a steady supply of nutritiousfood. Some species wander far from streams and wet- lands, like American toadsin your garden and leopard frogs leaping from under- foot when you cross grassy meadows. Green frogs al- ways stay close to water, however, so the one in New- castle must have thought itwas in heaven when it heard that waterfall. My friend Dianne Paza- ratz, butterfly gardener ex- traordinaire, has a small pond with a bubbler in her beautiful backyard in Osh-awa and often mentions mallards and other wildlife visiting. It was mid-August when her son, David, spot-ted a small green frog among the vegetation, a newcomer he namedSpook Frogg when it decid- ed to stick around. Their latest experiment is deliv- ering earthworms andwatching the instanta- neous response — a leap across the pond, a gulp. Afroggy grin. My gifted photographer friend, Mike McEvoy, who so generously providesspectacular wildlife pic- tures for my column The Great Outdoors, has a size- able pond in his own back- yard in Oshawa, where he regularly snaps images of damselflies, back-swim-mers and water striders. He's had green and leopard frogs in residence various years, and one spring, a toad laid strings of eggs that resulted in a lot of cute wriggling tadpoles.But the warmth of sum- mer comes to an end at our latitude, and ectotherms have to go with the flow. In-stead of maintaining a con- stant body heat as mam- mals and birds do, frogs getlethargic at about 10 Cel- sius. Slowly, sleepily, they make their way to the bot-tom of a pond or burrow in- to leaf litter, hopefully safe from harm until spring. Shallow ponds that freeze right to the bottom could be fatal for overwin- tering amphibians, so mycaring, conscientious friends are considering ways to keep that from hap- pening. Margaret Carney is a nature-appreciation col-umnist for MetrolandDurham newspapers. FROGS LEAP TO DURHAM'S BACKYARD PONDS MARGARET CARNEYNOTES THESECREATURES HUNKERDOWN FOR WINTER MARGARET CARNEY Column According to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, "leopard frogs are carnivores and will eat just about anything they can fit in their mouths," including ants, flies, worms and even smaller frogs. Mike McEvoy photo LITTLE LEOPARD 'WEAK LINKS' CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD COVID To the editor: COVID-19 has attackedus, and at the moment it iswinning. Vaccinations are nowcompulsory for many whogo to work, school or attendevents. All people who gather in crowds must bevaccinated. This action isto help protect all of us from this modern-dayplague. It is an old, but true, say-ing that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.If we grant vaccination ex-emptions for any reason we have created a weaklink in the chain. Thatweak link could lead to theinfection and possible death of dozens, or evenhundreds of fellow citi-zens. That must not be al-lowed. There will be some whowill choose not to followthe rules, and some who will state health reasons and expect exceptions.They then must be forced to self-isolate, or find a dif-ferent line of work, per-haps working from home. There is far too much atstake to allow accommo-dating the few to endangerthe many. In case it has not regis-tered, this curse has al-ready claimed more than four-and-a-half millionlives, and still no end insight.PETER DALEY,WHITBY ANTI-VAXXERS 'PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE' To the editor:Much has been saidabout people who choosenot to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.Here's my question to anti-vaxxers: Are you willing to payfor your own hospital fees if/when you become illwith the virus? Or will you commit tostaying home and forgoing medical help when get seri-ously sick with COVID? The vaccine is free! The virus can be deadly!

However, after watching the COVID-19 numbersclosely, Ballantyne no lon-ger feels comfortable with her child attending."I figured they wouldhave some flexibility builtin," she says. "But it was a case of, you didn't meet ourarbitrary deadline, sotough luck."Ballantyne says therewas little informationabout 2021-22 school safetymeasures available to fam- ilies by the DDSB's Aug. 11deadline."It was a very stressfuldecision with the lack of in- formation," she says. After she contacted politicians and media, Ballantynesays DDSB officials finallyoffered her daughter a vir-tual class placement. However, she is worriedthat other families are stillstruggling. Pickering resident Gur-jot Kaur is one of them.She looks after her twograndsons, ages 5 and 7, during the week and saysjust two weeks into theyear, she and the childrenare finding virtual school too stressful — the boyscan't cope with the amountof screen time and Kaur is overwhelmed."We want them to goback (to in-person) but nowit is too late to change the decision," says Kaur, whose grandsons areDDSB students . "What can we do? I am losing sleep"Other families in Dur-ham also reached out to durhamregion.com toshare similar concerns. The DDSB is not plan-ning to allow high school students to switch between virtual and in-person learn-ing during the year. Howev- er, officials say there will beachance for elementary stu-dents to make a move once vaccines for children under12 are available."Our commitment to ele-mentary families was that when vaccines become available for younger chil- dren, we will provide ele-mentary families an addi-tional opportunity to re-se- lect a learning platform fortheir children," the boardsaid in a statement. "We willmake sure to communicate with all families promptly."Last year, the DDSB of-fered several opportunities for students to switch, butofficials say it was prob-lematic."In particular, families who were in person lastyear became frustrated bycontinual reorganizations impacting their children aswe have to place staffwhere the enrolment is."The Durham Catholic District and PeterboroughVictoria NorthumberlandClarington Catholic Dis-trict school boards have in- dicated that moving be-tween learning types won'tbe allowed this year.

Durham's school boards are reporting varying levels of compliance with recom-mendations that staff and others involvedwith students be vaccinated against CO- VID-19.While the Durham District SchoolBoard (DDSB) reports just under 70 percent of staff and trustees attest to being ful- ly vaccinated, the rate of inoculationamong employees of the Durham CatholicDistrict School Board (DCDSB) is about 87 per cent, according to data released thisweek.The DDSB's vaccination protocol appliesto a total of 11,021 people, 9,623 of whom are school board employees and trustees. The re-maining 1,398 "other individuals" are definedas people who may come into direct contactwith students, such as school bus drivers, vol-unteers and contractors.As of Sept. 15, there are 6,688 schoolboard employees attesting to be fully vacci- nated — 69.5 per cent. Data shows that 1,075 other individuals under the mandate — al-most 77 per cent — attest to being fully vac-cinated.The board reports that 24 employees have presented a documented medical rea-son for not being fully vaccinated, while 11non-employees under the mandate have produced such documentation.Meanwhile, 491 school board staffers —a little over five per cent — have indicatedthey are not fully vaccinated without med- ical exemption, or have refused to disclosetheir status, according to DDSB. More than22 per cent of non-employees who fall under the protocol have either identified them-selves as not fully vaccinated, or have notdisclosed their status, according to the da-ta. More than a quarter of board staff, 2,420people, have not yet complied with the re-porting protocol, according to the DDSB."Those who have not yet submitted an at- testation form and those who have indicat-ed that they are not vaccinated with nomedical condition and/or who wish not to disclose are required to take an educational session about the benefits of COVID-19 vac- cination and are required to take two rapidantigen tests per week, with the DDSB ver-ifying completion," the board reports. The DCDSB reports that the vaccination protocol applies to 2,878 employees andtrustees and another 564 individuals whoare frequently in schools or have contactwith students. The board reports that among employees, 2,383, or nearly 83 percent, attest to being fully vaccinated andhave presented documentation supporting their claims, while another 125, or just overfour per cent, attest to being fully vaccinat-ed but have not provided documentation. The DCDSB reports seven employees have submitted proof of medical exemptionto inoculation and that 257 employees haveeither declared they are unvaccinated or have not disclosed their status. Those indi-viduals have been required to complete aneducational session about the benefits ofbeing vaccinated, the board reports. Of the other individuals covered by theprotocol, 377 have provided proof of full vac-cination and another 82 attest to vaccina-tion without documentation, according to the board. Another 105 unvaccinated per-sons have completed education sessions onthe benefits of inoculation, the board re- ports. SCHOOL BOARDS SUBMIT REPORTS ON VACCINATION COMPLIANCE Just under 70 per cent of Durham District School Board staff and trustees say they are fully vaccinated, while the rate of inoculation among Durham Catholic District School Board employees is about 87 per cent.

Visit our online consultation at: DurhamWasteOpenHouse.ca Durham's first and only craftdistillery is coming home. The Durham Distillerylaunched about four years ago,making small-batch vodka, ginand whiskey. Until now, production has tak-en place at a distillery inVaughan, with spirits being sold online, at local farmers' marketsand at some local LCBO stores.This fall, The Durham Distill-ery is moving into its new home — a former fire hall at 25 MillSt. in the Pickering Village areaof Ajax.The space will include a pro-duction facility to ferment, distil,bottle and store spirits, as well asa small retail shop. Chris Ferg, head distiller atand co-founder of The DurhamDistillery, says there are severalthings that make the company unique, including the use of localingredients and a focus on chari- table giving. "Giving back to our communi-ty was a really important thingfor us when we started; we made it part of our business plan fromthe very beginning," says Ferg.For example, Wheat KingsVodka is made using malted win- ter wheat that is milled locally,with $2 from the sale of every bot-tle donated to the Gord DownieFund for Brain Cancer Research. Strawberry Fields Gin is an-other example. It's made in part-nership with Durham College us- ing strawberries grown by stu-dents at the Whitby campus —and $5 from the sale of every bot-tle goes to support Durham Col- lege student bursaries. The Durham Distillery prod- ucts also share music-relatednames."We though about how we en- joy spirits ... a lot of the time it'sabout enjoying music withfriends," Ferg explains. The former Pickering VillageFire Hall at 25 Mill St. hasn't beenused as a fire hall since the lateeighties. A recent Town of Ajax reportsays leasing the space to The Dur- ham Distillery "may well be a cat-alyst for the future revitalizationplans" in the Pickering Village ar- ea."The Durham Distillery wouldbe the first facility of its kind in Durham Region," the reportnotes. "As has been seen withcraft breweries in neighbouringcommunities, it is possible others will follow and create a hub ofsimilar businesses. This partner- ship will also send a message of welcome to other innovativestartups in all sectors."The Durham Distillery is ex- pected to open in the new spaceby the end of October.

A controversial development on Ross- land Road will go ahead, now that the devel-oper has agreed to provide specific benefitsto the Town of Ajax.Ajax council approved staff's recommen- dation supporting the plans at the Tuesday,Sept. 21 meeting.Medallion Developments plans to build five apartment buildings and 53 townhouseson land running along Rossland Road be-tween Salem and Audley roads.Residents argue the development will be too dense for the area, will bring too muchtraffic and pose safety problems.The project will include 1,304 residentialrental units within a 15-storey building,three eight-storey buildings, one eight-sto-rey mixed-use apartment building withcommercial space and 53 townhouses, as well as underground parking and a smallsurface parking area.Medallion filed appeals in 2017 with theOntario Municipal Board (OMB) — now the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) — based onthe town's failure to make a decision withinthe prescribed timelines. The OLT has given the town until Oct. 15 to make a decision.Council tacked an additional clause ontothe motion, which states that benefits total-ling an estimated $2.99 million shall be deemed to be "satisfactory to the town."These will include: trail connections; asplash pad at Castlefields Park; a traffic sig- nal at Rossland Road and Hilton Gate; andconstruction of a new park block.Ward 2 regional councillor Sterling Leesaid while he was pleased with the benefits, he couldn't support the overall plan."I don't think we have truly responded tothe concerns of our residents through the decision," Lee said.He and local Ward 2 Coun. AshmeedKhan were the only two who voted againststaff's recommendation. Mayor Shaun Collier said the communi-ty benefits make "it a lot more palatable" andnoted the development is allowed, accordingto municipal, regional and provincial plan- ning documents.Ward 3 regional councillor Joanne Dieswas pleased with the benefits, especially the green space and trails."It's so, so important to quality of life and... particularly in an area where we are goingto intensify," she said. She noted the population is booming, "weare in a housing crisis" and this will give peo-ple who cannot afford a down payment on a home an opportunity to find a place to live.She said she has to support "intensifica-tion in the right places."
