THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2023 Metroland Media Group Ltd., 211 Pritchard Road, Unit 4, Hamilton ON L8J 0G5It's not unusual for families using the food bank in Pickering to ask for baby formula. But these days, St. Paul's On-the-Hill Community Food Bankcan't always deliver the request. Food bank director Lindsey Morrill says, on average, five to 10 families ask for the necessity perweek."It's not a large amount, butthere are times, more often than not when we do not have formulaavailable to give when we areasked for it," she says. "Donations have decreased by about 65 per cent for formula specifically, but we do receive a lot of the babyfood pouches and baby cereals."Unfortunately, those food do-nations don't help babies under six months old who require ei-ther breast milk or formula. Pickering's St. Paul's On-the-Hill Community Food Bank has seen a lack of baby formula donations and more parents asking for it.

Matthew Valley'slengthy criminal recordand the brutality of the as-sault warrant the sen- tence, and a three-yearterm of probation once thetime is served, SuperiorCourt judge Cary Boswellsaid in the Jan. 6 decision."The sexual assaultcommitted by Mr. Valley was nothing short of egre-gious," Boswell comment-ed. "It was brazen, shock-ing and horrifically vio- lent."Valley, 21, pleaded guilty in September of 2022to counts of sexual assault,unlawful confinement and breach of probation. Courtheard that he entered anAjax restaurant around 2a.m. April 28, 2021, ordered food and left. Valley re-turned and tried to con-vince the woman working there to give him her con-tact information, accord-ing to the decision. Whenshe refused, the attack be- gan.The young woman waschoked and sexually as-saulted before managing to break free. She fled to an-other restaurant nearby.Valley was arrested by Durham police the nextday.The attack left theyoung victim fearful and unable to continue work-ing night shifts, Boswell noted."She continues to havelingering fear for her safe- ty and is terrified whenalone," the judge wrote."She views other peopledifferently now — with suspicion and fear."While the judge accept-ed the Crown's submission that a five-year sentence isappropriate, Valley willserve 23 months in prisonafter being credited for time served in pretrial cus-tody, the ruling notes. Valley was given en-hanced credit to reflect the harsh conditions he en-countered in provincialjail during the COVID-19 pandemic.In addition to being onprobation for three years,Valley will also be on the national sex offender reg-istry for 20 years.

See allthewayswe’re helpingyou connect to care at ontario.ca/YourHealth Paid for bythe Government of Ontario Pickering council not only voted against support-ing a developer's requestfor a minister's zoning or- der (MZO) to expedite thebuilding of a long-term-care home (LTCH) innortheast part of the city, but it went a step further.At the Monday, Jan. 23council meeting, council voted down staff's recom-mendation to support anapplicant's request for anMZO for a 128-bed long- term-care facility, specifi-cally geared toward theBlack, African and Carib-bean communities at 3060Hwy. 7. The plans includedaffordable housing, resi-dences for older adults, and retail and office space.Staff from the Ministryof Municipal Affairs andHousing had asked for the City of Pickering's opinionon the proposal. The MZO request camefrom Kathleen Williams,president of Atlantic MasFoundation, who said the proposed developmentwould ultimately allow old-er adults to age in place. The project addressesthe province's plan to add30,000 net new LTCH bedsto the system by 2028. Stephen Mak, projectarchitect and long-term-care (LTC) adviser said, "There is a long-term-carecrisis, there is a housingcrisis."He explained the LTCH would be built within acommunity of varioushousing options offeringdifferent goods, services and offices."We believe the proposalwe have put forth provides a vibrant neighbourhood,pedestrian-focused, a placeto shop, a place to live, aplace where you can just live your life without hav-ing to get into a car," he said.But Ward 1 city Coun.Mara Nagy said while shesupports the creation of more LTC homes, "we can-not pit social against envi-ronmental." She introduced a mo-tion that states: there hasbeen no consultation withthe Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation; thereare potential environmen- tal impacts by developingon these lands; and the ar-ea lacks sufficient infra-structure. "Trust the process," shesaid. "It can work if giventhe chance." The three is- sues had been listed as con-ditions of approval by staff.Three other councillorsagreed with Nagy. "Voting against a long-term-care facility is not something I do in good con-science; It's something Ihad to do," said Ward 1 re-gional Coun. Maurice Brenner.Mayor Kevin Ashe dis-agreed, and said the land in question has been desig-nated for future develop-ment and believes it'ssomething "we'll live to re- gret."Nagy's motion also asksthe minister to support the Region of Durham's re-quest for provincial con-struction funding and top-ups to help fund the al- ready approved 200-bednot-for-profit long-term-care home planned forSeaton, scheduled to open in late 2025. MORE MEETING HIGHLIGHTS • Lorrie Hagen, execu-tive director of The CharlesH. Best Diabetes Centre,spoke about expansion plans and a request for funding of $100,000 over four years.

NEWS TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM Durham families are still feeling the effects ofthe massive baby formulashortage, a result of formu- la manufacturer Abbott'stemporary shutdown lastFebruary.The facility supplied a large number of powderedinfant formulas in manycountries including Cana- da, and its closure resultedin important market dis-ruptions.The plant reopened last July but is not expected toreturn to full productioncapacity until sometime in2023. The supply of infant formula will likely remainlimited until this facility isback to normal, according to Health Canada.Bowmanville residentLoraine Nagy doesn't havea baby of her own but spends much of her timeseeking out formula for hersister, who lives in Thorn- hill and has a six-month-old."This issue is every-where," Nagy says. "It's be- come a bit of a crisis now."Nagy looks on Facebookgroups, as well as local stores that sell the specificbrand the baby needs dueto allergies."If you go into Walmart it's completely empty," shesays.Walmart Canada spokesperson Felicia Fefersays the company knowshow critical baby formulais for customers. "While there have beennumerous ongoing global,industry-wide supply chal-lenges with baby formula, we continue to work close-ly with all our suppliers tosecure a strong supply of baby formula across multi-ple brands, including Simi-lac and formats (concen-trates, powder and ready- to-feed)," she said."Due to demand, and inorder to ensure we contin- ue to have product avail-able in-store and online, weare temporarily limiting purchase quantities of in- fant formula to two per cus-tomer." Nagy's sister NatashaSaunders is constantly on the hunt for the specificbrand of formula her babyneeds, and whether she is able to find any depends onthe given day. Online orders beingcancelled and nearly bare shelves are just some of theroadblocks she faces on aregular basis."You literally have to getin your car and spend ev-ery day going around," shesays. She recently drove toPickering to exchange for-mula with another parentafter she found the product she needed on FacebookMarketplace. She almostdrove as far as Trenton to pick some up.The box she uses onlycontains 16 formulas,which last her only two or three days. "It's so desperate at thispoint, between that and the Tylenol shortage," shesays.There have been times when she was down to her last two formulas beforeshe was able to find hernext case."It's just really scary to be honest with you," shesays. "Today I spent all dayout and I came home with two boxes."The Durham RegionHealth Department wasunable to answer questions regarding the shortage butpointed to Health Canadafor information.Health Canada saysthere are alternatives if ababy's usual formula is notavailable and notes some manufacturers have toll-free phone numbers or livechat features on their web-site that may provide assis- tance to locate their prod-ucts. HEALTH CANADA SAYS DO: • Breastfeed your baby,if you can. • Maintain or increaseyour breast-milk supply ifyou are combining bottle-feeding and breastfeeding. • Check the manufactur-er's website for resourcesto locate a formula. • Speak to a health care professional, such as a doc-tor, registered dietitian ornurse about your baby'sneeds. • Consider a differentsize or format of infant for-mula. • Try a different brand offormula under the recom-mendation of your healthcare provider if your usual product is unavailable. It'snormal for infants to taketime to adjust to a new for-mula.• Speak to a pharmacistto access amino acid-basedinfant formula and certain extensively hydrolyzed in-fant formulas not stockedon shelves.• Introduce solid foods when your baby is aboutsix months old. DON'T • Make homemade in-fant formula. It can put your infant's health at seri-ous risk.• Dilute or water downyour infant formula to ex- tend its use. This dilutesthe nutritional content ofthe formula and can put your infant's health at risk. • Buy more infant for-mula than you need, espe-cially hypoallergenic for-mula that infants with food allergies need.• Use formula from oth-er countries unless they are approved by HealthCanada• Use infant formulafrom unknown sources, such as online third par-ties.• Use breast milk ob-tained online or directlyfrom other individuals.• Substitute infant for-mula for other beverages, like cow's milk, goat's milk,evaporated milk, fortifiedor unfortified plant-basedbeverages (like soy, oat, rice, almond, coconut, ca-shew).For more information, visit Canada.ca.

Esports now have a per-manent home on the Onta-rio Tech campus thanks toits student union.On Jan. 16, the Ontario Tech Student Union(OTSU) unveiled its new Es-ports Arena facility at Sha-wenjigewining Hall. "The launch of our Es-ports Arena not only con-cludes a years-long effort to amalgamate the Esportsscene at Ontario Tech, it isalso symbolic of a largerchange taking place at the OTSU as a whole," saidOTSU president Josh San-karlal. "As we grow and change, the OTSU must ex-pand to make connectionsbeyond the walls of the uni-versity, and growing our Esports service to pit ourplayers in games with otherinstitutions nationwide certainly speaks to a por-tion of these efforts." The move is part of anongoing effort to amalgam- ate several self-governedEsports teams at the clubinto a whole by offering aphysical space where theycan play and host matches."It's about matching theneeds and wants of our stu- dent population," said San-karlal. "It's quite popularwith our student body."The arena features 12 PCs with the latest specifi-cations, capable of hostingcommunity events and col- legiate matches, and isopen to all Ontario Techstudents. Currently, the OTSU Esports program has10 teams participating inthe various competitionsincluding "Valorant," "Overwatch 2," "League ofLegends," "Hearthstone,""Call of Duty," "Fortnite," "Rocket League," "EternalReturn," "Beat Saber" and"Rainbow Six Siege." Theycompete in numerous leagues, including NACEStarleague, ESports Cana-da Post-Secondary, NECC, College League of Legendsand many more. They re-cently competed in the Ca-nadian Esports Nationals where almost all the teamsmade it to their respectiveplayoff rounds."We're very proud of ev- ery team," said SinthuyanUthayanan, project co-ordi-nator for the OTSU. He said the new arena will be a ben-efit to the teams moving for-ward."It really enables more opportunities for students togrow their skills and it's re-ally nice to have that in-per- son interaction betweenplayers and communitymembers rather than host- ing online from home," hesaid, noting the project hasbeen a long time in theworks. "This space has come along way from when theplans were first thought al- most three years ago. Wefaced a lot of adversitybuilding it and we couldn'thave done it without the support of the OTSU, ourEsports student executivesand the university's IT de- partment."The space will also allowEsports team members togrow awareness of the pro- gram, with planned goalsincluding streamingmatches to social mediabroadcasting games and events live."This really puts us onthe map with other schools that have their own pro-grams," said Sankarlal."We're really excited to seestudents using this space whether they're players ornot, it's open and free to all."For more information on the Esports program, checkout its Instagram page at@OTSU_esports.

Doyou enjoy meeting people?We need your help!Imagine being told youhave cancer, and that youneed to travel each day to receive life-saving treat-ment. Now imagine youdon't have a way of gettingyourself to those treat- ments. For many livingwith cancer, worryingabout travelling to ap- pointments is stressfuland that is why we needthe Canadian Cancer So-ciety's Wheels of Hope program to help peoplewith cancer get to andfrom their treatment. My name is Mark, I'ma cancer survivor, and Ibegan my work with theCanadian Cancer Society as a volunteer driver.The first person Idrove over nine years ago was Shirley. I had justmoved back to town withextra time on my hands. Ienjoy driving so I didn't think much of it at first. During our ride thatday Shirley told me shehad breast cancer and that she was not able todrive anymore. Her hus-band of 49 years had passed away the year be-fore, and her daughterwas living overseas. We chatted about hockey and her confi-dence that the TorontoMaple Leafs were going to go all the way to the Stan-ley Cup — I thought itmust be the medication. As Shirley got out ofmy car, she paused, then said "You are such a niceperson to be doing this,thank you so much Mark.I probably wouldn't have gone for treatment if itwasn't for this drivingprogram. The volunteers have been so lovely!"The look on Shirley'sface went straight intomy heart. As she was walking to her door, sheturned around andwaved goodbye to me and my eyes started to wellwith tears. I wasn't sad, itwas just the opposite —Shirley had lifted my spirits. I thought "Wasn'tthis supposed to be theother way around?" As I drove more andmore people to treatment,I knew this was where Iwas supposed to be. I was so moved by the heartfeltappreciation from people,and I was just giving thema lift. I feel confident in say-ing that you will feel thesame thing as I did when you help a stranger inyour own community.If you're looking to fillsome time in your day, en- joy driving and want to dosomething that helps peo-ple with cancer, I encour- age you to considerWheels of Hope.
