Joanne Bortoluss ofDurham regional police said the two dead men werepulled from the trench byrescue crews around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 9, more than 12hours after the accident oc-curred.The victims have been identified and their familieshave been notified, she said.Bortoluss said she did nothave information abouttheir ages or whether theywere Durham Region resi-dents. Autopsies were to be car-ried out on both men, sheadded. Authorities say alarge trench at the site on Rossland Road, betweenWestney and Ravenscroft roads, caved in aroundnoon, burying two workersand injuring another two men.One of the injured menwas airlifted to Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto, whileanother was taken to Lake-ridge Health Ajax-Picker-ing. Both of those men suf- fered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, saidBortoluss. "The information we hadis that there is a construc-tion site there where theywere working on the road- way and a trench-type(hole) collapsed. When itcollapsed, it injured fourworkers. One of those work- ers has been taken to a localhospital. The second work-er has been airlifted to Sun- nybrook," Bortoluss said onAug. 8.The Ministry of Labourwas on scene and took con- trol of the investigation, sheadded. Durham police will alsobe on scene and will con-duct a parallel investiga- tion, said Bortoluss.The construction workwas part of the widening of Rossland between ChurchStreet and Westney fromtwo lanes to four lanes. TheTown of Ajax awarded the contract to do the work toGranscan Construction, aToronto-based company. All the constructionwork on the project is ex-pected to be completed inthe spring of 2023. On Tues- day, Aug. 9. no one wasworking at the accident site.In a statement releasedon Aug. 9, Ajax Mayor Shaun Collier said, "On be-half of Ajax Council, I'd liketo extend my sincere condo- lences to the family andfriends of the two workerswho lost their lives in thetragic workplace accident in Ajax yesterday. Ourthoughts are also with the two workers in local hospi-tals recovering from theirinjuries and the first re- sponders impacted by thistragedy. "We've been heart-ened by the outpouring ofconcern and thoughts by the community in the wakeof the accident during work on the Town's RosslandRoad Reconstruction Pro-ject by a construction com- pany. We'd especially like tothank and recognize all theagencies involved with as-sisting the Town and ensur- ing site safety, includingAjax Fire and Emergency Services, Toronto Fire, Dur-ham Region Police Service,Region of Durham Para- medic Services and theMinistry of Labour," Collieradded.–Files from Keith Gilligan, Bruce Froude,Toronto Star TWO DEAD AFTER CONSTRUCTION SITE TRENCH COLLAPSE The bodies of two men were recovered from an Ajax construction site after a trench collapsed around noon on Aug. 9.

Pickering ranked 24th on the list reporting anaverage monthly rent inMay for a one-bedroom at$1,520, and 10th place for average monthly rent for atwo-bedroom at $2,349. "It'skind of a bit of sticker shock for people who havelived in the community fora long time and have to fig-ure something out," Dani- son said.Oshawa was 18th on thelist of 35 cities for averagemonthly rent in May for aone-bedroom at $1,645, and25th for average monthlyrent for a two-bedroom at $1,916. "Year over year a onebedroom in Oshawa is up5.5 per cent, a two bedroomis up 12.2 per cent," Dani- son said.In comparison, Toronto finished second on the list for a one-bedroom at $2,192,and for average monthlyrent for a two-bedroom at $3,115. Danison said Rentals.cabases its report on vacantunits. "The numbers are not as big, but it's a lot morerealistic picture of whatrenters are seeing when they are out trying to findthe place," he said.Danison said there's alot more demand as a result of interest rates, persistentinflation, supply chain is-sues, record-high immigra-tion levels and employers' decisions about requiringin-office work. "There'sjust too many pressure points in terms of a lack ofsupply and creating de-mand: the immigration,the students and all the economic factors that arehappening," he said. Durhamregion.com asked readers if they havebeen impacted by rent in-creases. Respondents wished to remain anony-mous, but Facebook com-ments and email responsesindicate it's a problem for residents across the region.One respondent saidhalf of their pay goes to rent — a 400 square-footbachelor, in an older build-ing with no elevator.Another said she and her husband have a com-bined income of $160,000and excellent credit. "Wereliterally about to buy when COVID hit," she wrote."Now stuck renting at$3,300 a (month) plus all utilities. Priced out of thearea we grew up in, willneed to move away fromToronto/GTA to buy when our youngest can moveschools. Very frustrating." Some landlordsweighed in as well. Onesaid, "Our insurance rates have skyrocketed, ourproperty taxes are up.What should we do? If I low- er my rents I can't affordthe mortgage."One Oshawa renter sentan email, stating he's a 64- year-old widower who pays$1,700 a month for a two-bedroom apartment inOshawa. "I have tried to find something cheaper,but have not had any luck,"he wrote. He would like to retire someday, but can'tafford to as Canada Pen-sion Plan and Old Age Se-curity are not enough to cover his current rent.The Rentals.ca 2022 Market Report, which shares 24 expert predic-tions and insights, statesrents will continue to risein most Canadian cities for the rest of 2022, accordingto Bullpen Research andConsulting and the Rental- s.ca network forecast."The daily pandemicnews put the housing crisisin the background for a while," said Matt Danison,CEO of Rentals.ca Net- work, "But now as CO- VID-19 recedes, we are talk-ing again about our lack ofsupply.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY Who doesn't relish agood shade tree on a steamy August day? Cica- das buzzing, leaves rus- tling, and cool relief from that blazing brightness. Step in under a dense um- brella of leaves soaking upthe UV rays and you can in- stantly feel the tempera- ture drop. A large enough deciduous tree creates its own breeze beneath its spreading branches. Humans aren't the onlyanimals to seek out shade. You often see herds of cows crowded together under the best shade tree along apasture fence, tails twitch- ing to chase away biting stable flies as they chewtheir cud. But flocks of Can- ada geese as shade lovers? Who knew? Driving through an in-dustrial area in south Dur- ham at high noon the other day, I was surprised to spot20 or so geese lounging to- gether under what was likely a maple on a ware- house lawn. They werenicely spread out, with ev- ery single one of them in the shade, so it was obvi- ously a deliberate choice. Digesting what they'd been feeding on all morn- ing. Like cows, Canadageese are grazers, so this was perfect habitat. Acres of grass, no one bothering them, open views in all di- rections so they could seepredators coming. And a lovely green parasol keep- ing the sun off. How clever of them to gather there.I'd never thought about how their black head and neck must absorb a lot ofheat, a good adaptation for winter, maybe, but not so comfortable on a hot sum- mer's day. Does their signa-ture white "chin strap" serve to keep their throat cool? I wish I could peerthrough the telescope of time and discover what evolutionary advantages gave them that design.But the species is highly successful, we all know. Some five million complete for breeding space in North American wetlands ever year, with populations ex- panding even though morethan three million are tak- en by hunters. A Canada goose can live 25 years and raise up to ten goslings an- nually. And yes, they mate for life, though they'll find a new partner if harmcomes to their old one. After nesting and rais- ing their young, they go through a feather molt thatleaves them flightless for more than a month. So they gather in noisy groupson open waters, honking frantically whenever they spot a possible danger. Then it's back to the skies,in lines and Vs, for these highly sociable, smart birds, many of which find a good living here in Dur- ham all year, given our open waters, grassy lawns and extensive grain fields.

Nuclear waste (re-quires) proper disposal. Wealso need to end nuclearenergy. Why don't we buy hydrofrom Québec like theAmericans?FRANK J. ANSELLPICKERING NEW GROUP FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM To the editor:Jewish Canadians are 10 times more likely thanmembers of any other reli-gious community to be thetarget of a hate crime. This startling numbercame from a Statistics Can- ada report on police-re-ported hate crimes, issuedthis month. As we have seen in thepast, many Canadians willscan this report and dis-miss it. We tell ourselves that other groups suffertoo. We comfort ourselvesthat, if only an endless Mid- dle East conflict were re-solved, harmony would re-turn at home. Most disturbingly, per- haps we harbour our ownprejudices about Jewishpeople as a collective andbelieve, consciously or not, that they are not a groupwith which we need to con-cern ourselves. It is often said that anti-semitism is a symptom of amore insidious social dis-order. This may be true. But it conversely serves asyet another reason to dis-miss it as a problem in it- self.Canada is fortunatelyfar more welcoming and safe than many or mostother places on earth. But this is a product of concert-ed action against discrimi-nation and the celebration of differences. It does nothappen by accident.The latest in a litany ofevidence about anti-Jew- ish attitudes and beha-viours in Canada calls outfor us to act. A new, grassroots move-ment of Canadians isstanding with our Jewishneighbours against dis- crimination. In our unions, on ourcampuses, in our social cir-cles and our places of wor- ship, at our dinner tablesand anywhere that pre-sents an opportunity to ad- vance Canadian values ofacceptance, we are makingour voices heard againstantisemitism.

"I look at thesetwo schools and it's an acci- dent waiting to happen," hesays. Davidson has asked themunicipality to install speed limit signs in the cen-tre of the road where theywould be more visible, as well as speed bumps infront of the schools.The Town of Ajax hasresponded to Davidson's concerns and is looking atadding Coles Avenue to therotation for automaticspeed enforcement cam- eras.In north Oshawa, par-ents at Beau Valley and Kedron public schoolsshared similar concernswith durhamregion.com,saying there should be traf- fic calming measures infront of the schools — par-ents in both areas say vehi- cles regularly fly by theschools at 80 kilometresper hour. Officials say changingtrends around walking toschool are impacting traf- fic in many areas of the re-gion. "More families are choosing to drive their chil-dren to school, and the vol-ume of traffic is a challengefor neighbourhoods with school sites that were de-signed to be 'walkingschools,'" says Lisa Bianca, head of facilities servicesfor the Durham DistrictSchool Board.Initiatives like "walking school buses," can be help-ful, local school boards alsowork with the Region ofDurham on ways to pro- mote walking or wheelingto school. What do residents need to know about getting ac-tion on traffic concernsaround schools? Start withmaking the right contacts. • Concerns about trafficon school property can bedirected to individual schools or the schoolboard, while concerns re-lated to speeding or not complying with stop signsor traffic lights should bedirected to Durham Re- gional Police.• Requests for new cross-walks, stop signs, traffic lights, traffic calming mea-sures, speed limit changesand speed cameras are theresponsibility of munici- palities.• Residents can start bycontacting municipal staff, and may also loop in mu-nicipal or regional council-lors or their mayor's office. When there are traffic concerns, Bianca saysschool board and munici-pal staff often visit sites to-gether to observe traffic and work on solutionsjointly, sometimes involv-ing police if concerns relate to drivers not complyingwith traffic laws."We try to come to solu-tions that respect the needs of the school for timing ofbus drop off and pick up,parent kiss 'n ride opera- tion as well as overallneighbourhood safety," shesays. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SCHOOL TRAFFIC CONCERNS JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com NEWS ONE AJAX RESIDENTCALLS SPEEDINGNEAR SCHOOLS 'ANACCIDENT WAITINGTO HAPPEN' Allan Davidson, a longtime Ajax resident, is concerned about safety issues around two elementary schools on Coles Avenue: St. Jude Catholic School and Applecroft Public School. He asked the town to look at traffic calming measures such as speed limit signs in the centre of the road and speed bumps.

However, I am im-pelled to make an excep-tion to this rule on the mat-ter of Durham council 'srecent decision to exces-sively and unnecessarilyexpand the amount of land for urbanization. In making this deci-sion, the majority of re-gional councillors made the following fundamen-tal mistakes: 1) They ignored the overwhelming opinion oftheir constituents that lit-tle or no further land wasneeded despite soliciting their views. 2) They ignored the ad-vice of their own profes-sional planning staff, whorecommended a muchsmaller amount of new ur-ban land than ultimately approved. 3) They adopted whole-sale the highly biased andprofit-driven advice of BILD, the local and provin-cial representative of the development industry. 4) And in doing this they threw open the door to theelimination of prime agri-cultural land and the de- struction of essential envi-ronmental features such asthe headwaters of Carruth-ers Creek. Do we need more hous-ing? Yes. Is Durham goingto continue to grow? Yes. But the evidence was and isthat Durham already hadenough designated land tosatisfy this growth to 2051. And the statement bysome politicians that allland outside the Greenbeltis just in the queue for fu- ture urbanization is sim-ply wrong and terriblyshort-sighted. Prime farm- land and crucial environ-mental features should bein a separate queue for pro-tection by inclusion in the Greenbelt. Durham politi-cians who take their in- structions from the devel- opment industry and notthe people who electedthem while ignoring their taxpayer-paid professionalstaff are not worthy of theimportant positions thatthey hold. This is a municipal elec-tion year. Ask the incum-bent who wants your vote how they voted on sprawl.And ask them to tell youhow much campaign fund-ing they get from the devel- opment industry. And de-mand that they show youtheir financial statement from the 2018 election toverify their answer. The stakes are very highand we all have a responsi- bility to shape and enhancethe community we callhome. A majority of Dur-ham councillors have let us down and need to be re-placed by people focusedon the public interest and not vested private inter-ests.

Subscribe to a new perspective. Roshanthan Kanagara-jah has been cooking pro-fessionally for more than a decade — but it's only re-cently he found a projectthat brings together hispassion for food and Tamil culture."I wanted to representwho I am through food,"says Kanagarajah, a Cana-dian Tamil born in Sri Lan-ka and raised in Toronto. "Iwanted to do something to celebrate my own cultureand traditions." That some-thing is Ksira Gelato,where you can find Italian- style gelato in South Asian-inspired flavours like Cey- lon milk tea or pistachiosaffron. The brand started small with Kanagarajah sellinggelato from his parents'home. Word of mouth helped develop a loyal fanbase, and he recently ex-panded to a brick-and-mor-tar location at 1901 Har- wood Ave. N. in Ajax. Twomore GTA locations are setto open in the comingmonths."I found a niche," Ka-nagarajah says. "A lot ofSouth Asian desserts are milk based. Gelato is agreat canvas for those fla-vours, I can turn it intosomething people have never tried before."By far, the most popular flavour on the menu is wa-talappam, which evokesflavours of the popular Sri Lankan dessert of the samename. Watalappam is abaked coconut-milk pud-ding flavoured with spices and kithul syrup, madefrom the sap of a palm tree native to Sri Lanka. "It'sour number one seller. Forevery one pan of other fla- vours we sell, we sell sixpans of the watalappam,"Kanagarajah says. Other Tamil-inspired flavours include lemonpuff — made with Lemon Puff cookies that are a sta-ple in many Sri Lankanhomes — and rose sherbet, based on a creamy rose-fla-voured drink popular inSri Lanka. You can alsofind flavours like blueber- ry cheesecake, mint strac-ciatella, Lotus Biscoff andpeanut butter crunch. Gelato at Ksira is madefrom scratch using equip-ment from Italy with a fo-cus on flavour and texture. Customers often ask thedifference between gelatoand ice cream. Gelato ismade from milk, while ice cream is made from creamand has more fat. Gelatohas less air and is generally softer, denser and richerthan ice cream. In addition to gelato, theKsira menu also includes specialty coffee and sand-wiches like the Mithi Vedi grilled cheese made with mutton curry, seeni sam-bol, cheddar cheese and afried egg on brioche bread.
