Cold meds found in Smarties box Pickering tainted candy probe turns up two more possible incidents By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING — An investigation into a report of tainted Halloween candy has turned up pos- sible evidence of more incidents, according to Durham police. “We have one (incident) confirmed and two unconfirmed,” Sergeant Paul McCurbin said Thursday, after officers canvassed a neigh- bourhood in the Brock Road - Finch Avenue area. That investigation led to reports of two other possible incidents in which children found DayQuil cold medication mixed among Smart- ies among their Halloween loot, Sgt. McCurbin said. Investigators are following up on those leads but have not yet confirmed the reports, he said. Cops sounded the alarm Wednesday after a Grade 5 student at Valley Farm Public School opened a small box of Smarties she’d received while trick or treating in the Shay Drive - Beaton Way neighbourhood. The child alerted school authorities, who in turn called police. Sgt. McCurbin said the box in which the medication was found showed no obvious ✦ See Police, Page 6 Fame. Without the fortune.

The beginning of November is when volunteers from Royal Canadian Legions are out seeking donations in exchange for a red poppy pin. Once again, Cyril Best is leading the poppy campaign for the Royal Canadian Legion Ajax Branch 322. He’s been the campaign chairman “many times” and he does it “because it’s for the ex-ser- vicemen and my dedication to the Royal Canadian Legion and its members, ex- servicemen and their dependents.” The Ajax legion hasn’t set a goal for the campaign this year, he said. “The poppy campaign is a little shorter this year because of the dates,” he said, adding it runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 11. “It’s a relatively short period. Normally, it’s three or four days longer.” Last year, the Ajax legion collected about $51,000 and $47,000 was dispersed to veterans and dependents of ex-service- men. Some was also distributed to local charities. “We urge people to contribute what they can,” Mr. Best said. “We’d like to do better than last year, which we have been doing. Ajax is growing and growing and growing.” Ajax and Pickering legion members and volunteers will be out until Nov. 11 with poppy boxes, he said. “For us, when we join the Royal Ca- nadian Legion, when we take our oath, one thing is to be an active participant in poppy campaigns,” Mr. Best said. The Royal Canadian Legion was found- ed in 1926 to put pressure on the govern- ment to ensure veterans of the First World War were taken care of and “able to get the benefits due to them. As we grew, there were a lot of veterans who needed help,” Mr. Best said. Veterans of the Sec- ond World War are now in their 80s and 90s, and the donations provide a “safety net type of thing for the veterans. That’s why it’s important. Now, more than ever.” And, donations will be needed in the future, as service personnel involved in Afghanistan come home. “The young veterans will come back and they’ll need help eventually,” Mr. Best said. Buy a poppy in Ajax, Pickering Remembrance Day In Ajax, there’s a Remembrance Day service on Sunday, Nov. 9 at St. Paul’s United Church, 65 Kings Cres., at 2 p.m. A Veterans Parade will start at the Royal Canadian Legion branch, 111 Hunt St., at 1:15 p.m. Following the service, there will be a reception at the legion. The Remembrance Day ser- vice on Nov. 11 will be held outside the legion, starting at 10:45 a.m. In Pickering, there’s a Remem- brance Day service on Nov. 9, starting at 10:30 a.m., at Esplanade Park, next to the Civic Complex on The Espla- nade.

P PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 7, 2008 durhamregion.com For soldiers who have died and those we want to come home safe I lose at least a handful a year, and the pins hurt when I poke myself by mis- take. But every year, like many Cana- dians, I sport a poppy with pride. This Remembrance Day is especially significant for my family because the war in Afghanistan is hitting awfully close to home. My big sister Denise, a paramedic in the Canadian military, is on a six- month tour in Kandahar. And, as I type this, she’s spending six weeks on the front lines, doing her best to save wounded Canadian soldiers. She left on Sept. 26 and will get a break at Christmas, when she’ll come home and spend time with family - more spe- cifically, her four young children. We’re all looking forward to that time, and especially to April, when she will come home for good. About a week before she left, when I could tell she was a little uneasy, I asked Denise how she felt about going into a dangerous war zone. While she was ner- vous, she said knowing she’d be there for her fellow Canadian soldiers had helped alleviate some of her worries. My brother Sean risks his life every day as a search and rescue technician for the Canadian military. But having been on peacekeeping missions in both Rwanda (where he contracted malaria) and Bos- nia, he now does his job based out of Trenton and no longer has to leave his family. However, he continues to serve Canada and is proud to do so. My grandfather was a gunner in a fighter plane for the Russian army in the Second World War, until he was captured by the Germans and spent two years in a prison camp. The few times he’d talk about his experience afterward, he’d tear up when telling the story of the Nazi offi- cer he befriended, and without whom he doubted he would have survived. That man was not Canadian, and fought for an evil regime, but I’ll be thinking about him this Remembrance Day. Many people have stories of parents, grandparents and other relatives or friends who have dedicated their time or even lives to this country and others. Whether you are for war or against it, the bottom line is this: we live in a wonderful country where we elect our government and have the right to voice our opinions. Not only have thousands of Canadian soldiers lost their lives in order to ensure that these values stay in Canada, but many out there also continue to keep them alive today. Please buy a poppy from the veterans or volunteers for the Royal Canadian Legion and, on Nov. 11, take a couple of minutes at 11 a.m. to honour the soldiers that have died for freedom and those risking their lives to keep it. To me, and especially her kids, my sis- ter is a hero. It takes special people to do such a job and for that, I’ll continue to wear a poppy each year, no matter how many I lose. Pickering is holding a Remembrance Day service on Sunday, Nov. 9 at 10:30 a.m. and Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 10:45 a.m. at Esplanade Park (One the Esplanade) in Pickering. Kristen Calis’ column appears once a month. E-mail kcalis@durhamregion. com. Buy a poppy today ‘Freedom comes at a great cost, one that is paid daily by our best and bravest men and women’ Every Nov. 11 we have a chance to reflect back in time to the incred- ible sacrifices our men and women have made to create the Canada we cher- ish today. We gather at cenotaphs in the middle of towns and cities across the region for an hour or so and listen to the tributes. We have the chance to lay a wreath, to wear a poppy, to salute an aging veteran. We stay silent for a minute at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Those of us who can’t make it to a cenotaph can read or watch the coverage and ponder what war and suffering, ser- vice and sacrifice, are all about. We can think about aging or deceased relatives who signed up, geared up and fought for freedom on the front lines. It can all seem very black and white, very distant. After all, the First World War ended 90 years ago; the Second World War, 63 years back; Korea, 55 years in our past. That does not make their sacrifices any less vital to where we are today. Nor does it mean they should not be remembered, honoured and paid tribute to. However, for some, the true measure of what’s really at stake in war can only be revealed by what is happening right in front of them. It can only be seen along the Highway of Heroes at the extraordinary bridge tributes, at the ramp ceremonies in Kan- dahar and Trenton. For those soldiers in uniform today, the blood and death are real. It is not lost in the mists of time or found in the history books -- it is happen- ing in the here and now. Our mission in Afghanistan and the 97 soldiers who have died in that mission are a grim daily reminder of what war is really all about. That mission puts into context what the fighting was about in the First and Sec- ond World Wars, in Korea and in all the peacekeeping missions our soldiers have engaged in. We have been, we are, constantly on guard and involved in conflict around the globe. And when we gather on Remembrance Day, let’s never forget that freedom comes at a great cost, one that is paid daily by our best and bravest men and women. Kristen Calis Regional chairman has to start behaving better To the editor: I was aghast by the report of Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson’s arro- gance and pompous attitude displayed toward the Durham police officers at the municipal buildings in Whitby on Oct. 15. Over the past few weeks I, like many area residents, have paid attention to the ongo- ing actions between our officers and Mr. Anderson. I have seen words like “unfair treat- ment” and “disrespect” used to describe Mr. Anderson’s behaviour toward the police. Like most prudent people, I chose to remain impartial and understand all the views. However, the petty display Mr. Anderson provided today only serves to strengthen the belief this man and his police services board likely are carrying on in a disrespectful and unfair manner toward those officers. Mr. Anderson’s conduct certainly isn’t an example of the kind of person I expect to hold the office he currently holds. Catherine Dafoe Oshawa Questions starting to flow few days after notices sent out By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is doing brisk business since mailing out property assessment notices in Durham. “Here in our local office we receive a couple of visitors a day; the phones are steady,” said Kathy Blake, a municipal relations representative for MPAC who works out of the Oshawa office. “We haven’t received any negative feed- back.” Mostly, she said, it’s questions from individuals asking for explanations of the phase-in or how their property was as- sessed. Although Ms. Blake doesn’t have infor- mation on how many people have called MPAC’s call centre, web traffic has been brisk, with more than 400,000 visitors to www.mpac.ca. Residents can log in to the AboutMy- Property section of MPAC’s website to read their property profile, which lists the factors that affect their assessment. The User ID and Password for the site are listed on the property assessment notices mailed out to homeowners. Homeowners can also call MPAC’s Cus- tomer Contact Centre at 1-866-296-6722 to get their property profile. “Everything in that report in some way has an effect on the value,” said Ms. Blake. The major factors determining value are the location of the property, square footage, lot size, year of construction and quality of construction. But other more minor factors play a role as well, such as the amount of traffic on the street. Ms. Blake said residents should con- tact MPAC if they feel the information in their property profile is incorrect. “Maybe we had them down as having an in-ground pool and maybe they said we filled that pool in a year ago, that would affect their assessment,” she said. In that case, MPAC would send out an amended notice. Homeowners have until mid-November to request an amended notice, which is free of charge. The next step, should residents disagree with their assessment, is to file a Request for Reconsideration, which they can also do free of charge. This must be done by March 31 of the tax year. For example, if someone buys a house in poor condition and plans to spend a few years renovating it and doesn’t feel it would sell for the value listed on their assessment, they can ask for their assess- ment to be reconsidered. “We would then go out and do an in- spection and say OK, have we got the quality correct? The property may have depreciated in value,” said Ms. Blake. The final avenue for homeowners is an appeal to the Assessment Review Board (ARB), which is run independently by the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, and there is a fee to file an appeal. Home and farm owners must first file a Request for Reconsideration before they can move on to an appeal. At an ARB hearing, the onus is on MPAC to prove the accuracy of the assessed value.

Oshawa drug investigation led to murder charge By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — A man accused of murdering a young Oshawa woman remains in custody following a brief court appearance Thurs- day. Jason William Rodgerson, 25, said little when he appeared via video in an Osha- wa courtroom. The bearded young man, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, had a private telephone consultation with a legal representative before being remanded for another video appearance Nov. 20. The appearance came the day after a fu- neral was held in Oshawa for Amber Francis Young, 21, whose body was found Oct. 28 by Durham police investigating reports of a marijuana grow operation at a residence on Bloor Street east of Ritson Road. Mr. Rodgerson, a native of New Brunswick who moved into the Bloor Street house re- cently, is charged with second-degree mur- der and indignity to a dead body in connec- tion with Ms. Young’s death. He is also charged with production of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Another man, 30-year-old Stephen Rob- erts of Stevenson Road South in Oshawa, is charged with production of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The investigation is aimed both at track- ing down any remaining tainted candy as well as finding out who’s responsible, Sgt. McCurbin said. Possible criminal charges could include mischief and administering a noxious substance, he said. “Obviously we don’t want this to happen again and we don’t want anyone to get ill or worse,” Sgt. McCurbin said. Although thousands of children in Dur- ham collect candy each Halloween, reports of tampering or tainted treats are rare. “This is the first time in recent memory I’ve heard of anything in Durham Region,” Sgt. McCurbin said. ✦ Police from page 1 Police looking for more tainted candy Paid-for items never shipped: police DURHAM — A man accused of bilking several Durham residents in fraudulent In- ternet transactions has been charged with fraud. Durham police investigated several re- ports from residents who said they’d paid online for items such as iPods and Play Station platforms, but never received the products. Police believe there may be more victims who haven’t yet reported their losses. It’s believed the suspect, who advertised items for sale on sites such as KIJIJI, Craig’s List and eBay, may have taken in more than $20,000 by defrauding unwitting victims in Durham and elsewhere. Durham cops executed a search warrant at a Wasaga Beach residence Tuesday and seized a computer and numerous docu- ments, including evidence of alias names and fraudulent e-mail addresses. It’s believed the accused man may have used aliases Chris Davis and Ron Meyers, and e-mail accounts such as Generator4Sale. He has indicated he resides in North Bay, Brampton and at other addresses. Christopher Dwyer, 24, of Pinecrest Av- enue in Wasaga Beach is charged with fraud over $5,000. An investigation continues. Anyone who believes they may have had contact with the suspect is asked to call police at 905-579- 1520, ext. 5364 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. Accused in woman’s killing held in custody Man busted for online scam Diabetes experts sharing tips at upcoming diabetes fair By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — People with dia- betes can do just about anything, says Ajax doctor Ian Blumer. “There’s no limit to what you can do with diabetes,” said the author of a number of essays and books, including ‘Diabetes for Canadians for Dummies’. And, an interest in the disease and the proper ways to manage it is the key ingredient to allowing the patients to rule diabetes, not the other way around. Without that, doctors are powerless, Dr. Blumer said. “The person with diabetes has to take charge essentially,” he said in an interview. The well-known diabetes expert will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming Diabetes Health Fair at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre (470 Kingston Road W., at Rosebank and Kingston Roads) in Pickering. Dr. Kevin Tyber is an optometrist who will also speak at the event since his practice is fo- cused on people with diabetes. The event will also include a number of display tables where pharmaceuti- cal companies and other diabetes experts, including a representative from the Canadian Diabetes As- sociation, will provide information on products and services for those living with diabetes and their fami- lies. “It’s going to be an informa- tive, but light-hearted session,” Dr. Blumer said. He also encourages family mem- bers to attend as well, not only be- cause they can offer key support to the person with diabetes, but also to learn ways to limit the risk of ac- quiring diabetes themselves, since they’re susceptible to it. Since diabetes is controllable but has no cure, the purpose of the event is to provide information to those with diabetes to deal with the disease. The event is organized by Barbara M. Lorne, whose husband has diabetes and her father-in-law died from complications from dia- betes. Ms. Lorne’s been involved in helping Ajax and Pickering resi- dents cope with the disease for the past eight years. For the past five, the health fair has been open to all Durham residents. “After eight years the group is like an extended family, and I continue to organize the fair because I know that there is not a whole lot out there for people with diabetes,” she said. Dr. Blumer has been practicing in Ajax since 1985 and has had a spe- cific interest in diabetes for about the past 15 years. Since he said he can spend days talking about the topic, he chose to put a lot of useful information in layman’s terms on his website, www.ianblumer.com. “I got sick of seeing people get sick who didn’t need to be,” he said. Dr. Blumer will talk about the Canadian Diabetes Associations’ recently updated clinical practice guidelines, including information on the best ways to exercise, chang- es in nutrition management, and the newest types of medications and insulin. He’ll also leave a lot of time for questions and answers. The fair is on Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. and it’s free. Since seating is limited, call Ms. Lorne at 905-725-4226 to reserve a seat.

Hurdler faces diabetes head on DURHAM — Priscilla Lopes- Schliep reached victorious heights this summer at the Olympics, but now she’s tackling a challenge of a different kind. As part of national diabetes month in November, the bronze- medal winner in the women’s 100- metre hurdles is talking about her experience of living with the preva- lence of diabetes in her family. “I’ve seen the hurdles that my (family) has overcome and being a hurdler myself, I understand that any challenge is difficult,” the Whitby native said. “But it’s about being able to initiate treatment and becoming aware of the complica- tions if you put it off for too long.” RSS UPDATESRSS UPDATES newsdurhamregion.com By Michelle Diaz newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s time to roll up your sleeve and fight back against the flu. Durham Region Public Health has kicked off this year’s annual flu shot clinics. “Either get a flu shot or get the flu, it’s one or the other,” said Paula Morey as she waited to get her shot at the Oshawa Centre on Monday. The flu shot is free at public health clinics. And public health officials are making a concerted effort to dispel myths. Have you heard that get- ting the flu shot immediately infects you with the virus? Have you heard that if you already got the flu shot last year, no sweat, you don’t need it again? Well, it’s not true. “The reality is the influenza vaccine is not a live virus vaccine; therefore, it cannot give you the flu,” Dr. Robert Kyle, the Durham Region Medical Officer of Health said in a news re- lease. “You should receive the vaccine every year to provide protection against the different types of flu strains that could circulate each season,” he said. There are 21 free walk-in community clinic locations throughout Durham Region open until Jan. 5, 2009. So far, in just two days of clinics more than 1,300 people were vaccinated. Those at high-risk for illness: young chil- dren, the elderly and pregnant women are encouraged to get the flu shot. For information about clinic hours, the schedule is available under related links next to this article on our website at newsdur- hamregion.com. Or you can call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.

The exchange began in 2007 as a way for residents and organiza- tions to have an opportunity to share ideas on future growth. At the two meetings so far, attend- ees and participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire about the experience, and Coun. Lit- tley found in last year’s surveys people would have preferred to have the chance to share their sustainable visions, rather than just sit and listen to presenta- tions. So, she changed the format this year and gave the participants each their “two minutes of fame. “It was a great icebreaker be- cause everybody knew what ev- erybody else was doing,” Coun. Littley said. Interactive displays and in- formation were provided by organizations such as Heritage Pickering and Ontario Farmland Trust. A focus of the exchange was to see what Pickering resi- dents feel about the City’s future downtown. Students from the environmental clubs at Dunbar- ton High School and Altona For- est Public School gave presenta- tions, and Coun. Littley found youth are interested in tall, resi- dential buildings but with a lot of green space and less dependency on cars. “We have to start thinking in a way that’s less car-dependent,” she said. Coun. Littley said the exchange gave her and the presenters, in- cluding the City of Pickering, an idea of how much residents are plugged into what’s happening in the City. “It was a good way for every- body to know what’s out there,” she said. She plans to continue the com- munity idea exchange next year.

Although the Durham Catholic District School Board had initially requested four Os- hawa replacement schools in the accommoda- tion review area as part of its long-range plan, the ministry of education turned it down. “Quite frankly, they feel the schools in Osha- wa were in good condition,” said Ryan Putnam, superintendent of business. Durham Catholic recently closed five of its 11 central Oshawa schools following an ac- commodation review to address declining en- rolment in the area. The Ministry also thought the board had a good idea in selling surplus properties from the accommodation review’s closures and using the money to support programs, Mr. Putnam said. When the board first submitted its long- range plan to the ministry, the accommodation review committee and school closure guide- lines were still in their infancy, he said. The long-range plan was more of a wish list, but something they felt they should still submit, Mr. Putnam said. The board did get prohibitive-to-repair fund- ing for replacing St. Bernadette Catholic School in Ajax, which is currently under construction and scheduled for a 2009 occupancy. It also bought eight new portables to accommodate students in the consolidated school communi- ties, as well as growth schools. A report pre- sented to the board at its Oct. 27 meeting listed its current priority capital programs for submission to the ministry. Staff identified the following property proj- ects: • Our Lady of the Bay School in Pickering – single school replacement under the prohibi- tive-to-repair category; • St. Bernard School in Whitby – replacement of six relocatable classroom modules (RCM) built in 1987, with a four classroom addition; • St. Jude School in Ajax – replacement of six RCM built in 1987, with a four classroom ad- dition; • St. Catherine of Siena in Ajax – six RCM (four built in 1987 and two in 1994), to be replaced with a six classroom addition. Of the 18 RCMs listed, 16 have been used for 21 years. The life expectancy for them is usually 20 to 25 years. Staff will report to the board on the proposed timing of future schools and additions follow- ing projections based on the latest census data. The projections are expected to be complete by November, the report said. Ajax and Pickering schools to see construction work Uploading of court security and welfare costs will take 10 years By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The long-awaited balancing of the books between the Province and its municipalities may mean big savings for local govern- ments eventually, but it’s going to take a long time to get there. The Province announced on Fri- day it will assume the full cost of Ontario Works (OW), previously known as welfare, benefits and court security and prisoner transportation costs. As it stands, municipal prop- erty taxpayers pay 20 per cent of the OW benefits and the full cost of court security. In Durham, there are two courts in Whitby and three in Oshawa. When the uploads are complete in 2018, the Ontario government says municipalities will see a $1.5- billion benefit. Locally, Durham will see $56-million in savings. Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson was president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) when the Province began the Provincial-Municipal Fis- cal and Service Delivery Review and he is a member of the negotiating team that reached the deal. He calls the government’s announcement a huge step in the right direction. “It’s going to take a while for the Province to catch up, but at the end of the 10 years it’s going to take, the municipalities in Ontario are going to be a lot better off,” he said In 2012, the first year the upload- ing of court security kicks in, the Province will shoulder only 14 per cent of the cost moving up to 100 per cent in 2018. Similarly, the Province will start with just three per cent of the municipal portion of OW ben- efits in 2010. This year, Durham property tax- payers are expected to contribute $11.4 million for the Region’s por- tion of OW benefits. The cost of ad- ministering OW will still be partially funded by the municipal govern- ments, even after the upload. Still, Mr. Anderson said the sav- ings will allow municipalities to spend the money saved in other areas where it’s much needed. “I would certainly hope that we’ll be catching up on the infrastruc- ture we haven’t been dealing with as result of having to pay these other bills.” As to what it means for property taxpayers, Mr. Anderson cautioned that it’s a 10-year process and, in the meantime, the bills will keep com- ing. “If you do get tax increases, they won’t be nearly as high as they could have been if it weren’t for this pro- gram,” he said. Overall, said Mr. An- derson, considering the economic times and the fact the Province is facing a deficit, the steps taken were good for all municipalities. Ajax-Pickering Liberal MPP Joe Dickson also applauded the an- nouncement. “Through our part- nerships with municipalities, we are uploading social assistance costs, building on our poverty agenda, at an affordable pace,” he said in a prepared statement. “This agree- ment represents the success we can achieve by working together while recognizing Ontario’s fiscal chal- lenges in the current global eco- nomic environment.” This isn’t the first time the Province has uploaded services downloaded under Mike Harris’s Progressive Conservative government. The On- tario Drug Benefits program, which provides free medication to social assistance recipients, was uploaded in 2008. Starting in 2009 through 2011, the Province is uploading the municipalities’ portion of the Ontar- io Disability Support Program. Like OW, property taxpayers cover a fifth of that.

To help, the Town has posted an on- line information package to help residents better know what’s going on. Understanding the Town’s budget pro- cess has information on such topics as: • common budget and forecast terms; • how the Town plans for its financial future; • answers to frequently asked questions; • how to have your say about the budget; • how tax rates are calculated; • what plans and studies support the bud- get process; and, • the activities that make up the budgeting and forecasting process. “The information package was devel- oped as part of the Town’s continuing ef- forts to increase residents’ understanding of and participation in the annual budget process,” Rob Ford, the Town’s finance director, said in a press release. The information package is available at www.townofajax.com. Residents can e-mail their comments and suggestions to finance@townofajax. com. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 7, 2008 To learn about any of Durham Region’s waste management programs, visit our website www.durhamregionwaste.ca Send your waste related letters, questions, or comments to katherine.ross@region.durham.on.ca Katherine Ross-Perron, Municipality Of Durham, 605 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby ON, L1N 6A3 These new jugs — made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, the same plastic used for smaller sizes of bottled water and soft drinks — are theoretically recyclable. But, in reality, recycling plants have been unable to process them. This is because material recovery facilities are designed to handle regular-sized food and beverage containers. Extra large items require special sorting and storage requirements, which means an increase in processing costs. Until now, the post-consumer management of empty water jugs was managed by retailer/supplier in a bottle return system. No taxpayer dollars were required to process the material. The current change to the container (by the industry), however, has resulted in the shift of responsibility to the municipal blue box program. Therefore, costs are now borne by the municipal taxpayer. This is an increasing concern for all municipalities in Ontario, as there has been a rising trend in the marketplace of oversized items that are diffi cult to manage, such as bottles and packaging. Recently, Durham Regional Council passed a motion that asks the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to require companies to consult with municipalities, prior to introducing new consumer packaging into the marketplace. The idea is that these new guidelines would help to determine the operational and fi nancial impact of new packaging on municipal waste management systems. In the mean time, residents are encouraged to enjoy water from the Region’s municipal water supply system, rather than purchasing bottled water.

NOTIFICATION FOR EXCAVATION ACTIVITY TO LOCATE EXISTING UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Contract No. T-08-60 Utility and Infrastructure Location Investigation for Sewer Design in the City of Pickering and the Town of Markham What’s Happening:During the next few weeks, test pits and trenches will be excavated to confirm the soil conditions and the exact location of buried utilities. These investigations will be conducted in the City of Pickering along Finch Avenue (between Valley Farm Road and Liverpool Road), along Liverpool Road (between Finch Avenue and the Hydro corridor to the north), along the Hydro corridor (between Liverpool Road and the Scarborough-Pickering Townline), and along the Scarborough-Pickering Townline and Markham-Pickering Townline (between the Hydro corridor and 14 th Avenue). This work will also take place in the Town of Markham along 14 th Avenue and 9 th Avenue and Rouge Bank Drive. These locations are along the proposed route for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer. Buried utilities include phone lines, electrical cables, gas lines, local watermains, storm and sanitary sewers. Why:In order to prepare for the planned start of construction of the new Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer in 2010, the precise locations and depth of all utilities located within the alignment of the new Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer must be identified. How long will this take:The activities to locate utilities will continue for approximately two months, and any one location should be impacted for a maximum of four to five days at one time. The excavated areas will be immediately rehabilitated and repaired once the location of the utility is recorded. Final restoration of the roads and boulevards will be completed in spring 2009, as per road construction requirements. Who is planning this work:The Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer Project is being planned by the Regional Municipalities of Durham and York. Please Note:Short-term lane restrictions along Finch Avenue between Valley Farm Road and Liverpool Road are anticipated between November 17 and January 16. While every effort will be made by the contractor to maintain access to residences and businesses, temporary delays in traffic may be experienced. York and Durham Regions would like to thank residents and business owners for your patience while this work is underway. For more information, please contact: Mr. Dave Beattie, P.

For some time, the focus of the soft floor covering industry has been on putting effec- tive initiatives in place, improving the manufacturing process, reducing the use of non-renewable resources, recycling waste and introducing a range of home and office flooring fashion that address our environmen- tal concerns. What makes a carpet product eco- friendly or “green” is related to the impact or “footprint” it makes on the environment throughout its life cycle. The size of footprint is impacted by a wide variety of factors, from the sourcing of raw materials that go into the carpet, to use of resources and control of waste in the manu- facturing process, all the way to the carpet’s installation, its contribution to a healthy living space and finally, to the possibilities for responsible disposal or recycling at the end of its life. Carpet manufacturers are com- mitted to sustainable manufacturing practices and through innovative product development have intro- duced a growing range of the latest styles of earth-friendly wall-to-wall carpet, now available on the market for homes, offices and schools. For example, Beaulieu Canada, one of Canada’s largest carpet manufactur- ers, for more than the last decade and a half, has taken an environmen- tal leadership position, by research- ing and developing new eco-friendly products, improving mill efficiency, conserving natural resources, using renewable sources of energy, and by recycling water and waste. More information is available on-line at www.beaulieucanada.ca. Beaulieu Canada has just launched the Enviro Select line of carpets: the latest, most popular looks in floor fashion, each with a green story that benefits home and safeguards the planet. For today’s eco-savvy consumer, carpet choices available on the mar- ket offer not only environmentally- responsible designer fashion for the floor but features and benefits for home, health, safety and pocket- book, unequaled by any other type of flooring product.

A tentative settlement for a renewed col- lective agreement was ratified between the Durham Local of the Ontario English Cath- olic Teachers Association (OECTA) Occa- sional Teachers and the Durham Catholic District School Board recently. The contract includes a three per cent salary increase for each of its four years, no improvement to benefits, increases in the amount of people on the occasional teach- ers list, and improvements to health and safety issues. It expires Aug. 31, 2012. The board agreed on the new contract at its Oct. 27 meeting, while the occasional teacher membership voted to accept it Oct. 23. “This contract further promotes contin- ued labour relations stability by balancing the needs of the board with the desires of oc- casional teachers for fair working conditions, which respect their contributions towards educating our students,” said Pickering Trustee, Jim McCafferty, the board’s chair- man. Bill Stratton, president of the OECTA Oc- casional Teachers Local, was also pleased. “The Durham occasional teachers look forward to the implementation of the terms of our new collective agreement with the board and to working together co-opera- tively for the well-being of the students we teach,” Mr. Stratton said.

Catholic occasional teachers ratify contract Eighteen to 24 year olds twice as likely to develop problem By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The Responsible Gambling Council wants Durham College students to know test scores aren’t the only important numbers. Representatives from the RGC are at Durham College to raise awareness of gambling-related problems. Know the Score tries to dis- pel myths around gambling, said Amanda Stokes, a project co-or- dinator with the RGC, adding the aim is to “educate students about the risks of gambling.” Students passing an informa- tion booth were asked to answer a five-question quiz on gambling, with the possibility of winning a $1,500 scholarship. The council doesn’t have sta- tistics on the number of students with a gambling problem, but Ms. Stokes said youths 18 to 24 years of age have the highest rate of gambling addiction. “We can find those 18 to 24 on the campus.” Ironically, the information booth was set up outside the Fi- nancial Aid and Awards office. Ms. Stokes said about “6.9 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds have a moderate to severe gambling problem. It’s more than double the provincial average,” adding in the population as a whole, the rate is 3.4 per cent. “A lot say they don’t gamble, but they play Pro-Line on Sunday on football. “It’s a small investment, but it’s gambling. “They’ve never thought of it as gambling. “People think of online poker and casinos as the only way to gamble,” she said. “Most say they don’t gamble or they don’t know anything about gambling.” Council staff will be visiting 30 post-secondary institutions over the course of the school year to raise awareness. The first question on the quiz is ‘Playing poker online is a good way to make money? True or False.’ “If they answer true, we talk to them about that,” Ms. Stokes said. “We get quite a bit of positive feedback. “The questions on the quiz are designed to give information, like what’s the name of the local treat- ment centre,” Ms. Stokes said. “We make them think about it. If they don’t know, we can give it to them.” Having an interactive element is “better than if they were just reading a board.” The biggest myth is “online poker is a good way to make money. They think it’s a good way to fund their school.” Pete Hancox, a professional golf management student, said the kiosk is in a busy location, which is good as it will “get stu- dents’ attention.” He had a roommate last year with a gambling problem, Mr. Hancox said. “He lost a lot of money with online gambling. He didn’t come out with us for months.” Samantha Bain, a business ad- ministration student, said having the booth is a good idea, “be- cause it may stop us develop- ing gambling problems or other problems.” It’s easy for students to fall into the trap of gambling, Ms. Bain said. “We fall into peer pressure eas- ier,” she said. “A lot we see on TV and casinos.” Rebecca Nicholson, a legal as- sistant student, said the booth will help raise “awareness to peo- ple. “There are people with gam- bling problems.” READERS CHOICE WINNER 110 Ritchie Ave, Unit 4, Ajax 905.619.3736 www.atouchofparadiseesthetics.com PLATINUM WINNER • BEST IN REFLEXOLOGY 2008 PlatinumHolidayHoliday Gift CertificatesGift Certifi cates Manicure PedicureManicure Pedicure & Facial& Facial Only $115Only $115 with this adwith this ad 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 OSHAWA life • style • solutions OSHAWA BUY CANADIANBUY CANADIAN In Stock Inventory Ready For Delivery ON SALE NOW!

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 7, 2008 PAGE 19 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 7, 2008 More UOIT faculty moves could be on horizon By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — One of downtown Oshawa’s newest tenants, Durham’s university, could become an even bigger player in the city’s core. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) is discussing bringing another faculty downtown, said president Dr. Ronald Bordessa, following grand opening ceremonies for its faculty of education, recent- ly moved to 11 Simcoe St. N. The school’s criminology or business and IT faculty are also being considered for a move. “I’d just caution people to be pa- tient,” Dr. Bordessa said. “We have not made any formal decisions; we have not made any deals with any- one... we are going to take the time that’s necessary to make the right decision.” Those two faculties are being con- sidered because of their interest and interaction with social realities in a downtown, he said. Downtown has a business community and a court- house – a significant factor in their thinking, he said. “The downtown of Oshawa is a downtown that has a lot of poten- tial and it needs more people in the downtown on a regular basis,” Dr. Bordessa said. It needs people with spending power as well as new high-quality buildings, he said. “And the university is in a position to achieve all of these,” Dr. Bordessa said. Internally, the UOIT has had mov- ing more of its faculties downtown on the radar for about six months, he said, but added the school is con- stantly reviewing all kinds of options. The university will have a clearer idea of which direction it’s moving in by the end of this year, he said. Any decision would have to go before the UOIT’s board of governors. Most of the feedback he’s received so far has been positive, but there are some who are doubtful, he said. He’s willing to hear their concerns and meet with people about the pros and cons of more downtown locations. Dr. Bordessa’s also willing to argue for whatever decision is made in a transparent way, he said. “I think there are some negatives in terms of running two campuses,” Dr. Bordessa said, one of which could be travel time and the inconvenience of travelling between campuses. More locations also provides more choice and variety in learning expe- riences. “I think it gives options to students,” Dr. Bordessa said. In addition to faculties, more resi- dences could be added to the down- town, giving students more choice, he said. Although the school does have some locations in mind, they are still in discussion, Dr. Bordessa said. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, November 7, 2008 PAGE 21 A/Pdurhamregion.com ENTERTAINMENT ✦ E-mail information to Mike Ruta, mruta@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com Entertainment in brief NOVEMBER 7, 2008 Cruising back to the 1950s in Durham By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When Reese Brunelle set out to direct the mu- sical Forever Plaid, he didn’t re- alize he would end up creating a real singing group. But that’s what has happened with the four men who play the 1950’s musical group, The Plaids. “When I put this cast together, I thought it would be a good ex- perience to have some old hands and some new people,” Brunelle said. “The cast is really amaz- ing together. The music is some- thing amazing. They actually are the group. They are the Plaids. It started with a play and it’s ended with a viable group.” The men, Todd Appleton, Dean Peel, Kyle Bentley and Rob Van- kleef, could get gigs singing, they are that good, Brunelle said. You can see and hear for yourself as Whitby Courthouse Theatre presents ‘Forever Plaid’ through to Nov. 22 at the Cen- tennial Building, Centre Street South. In the play, the Plaids is a quar- tet of crooners (like Pat Boone, Perry Como) whose members dream of making it big and re- cording an album. However, while driving in their 1954 Mer- cury Sun Valley on the way to their first big gig, they are hit by a busload of Catholic school girls, and killed. They get one last chance when they are sent back to earth to make their dreams come true. This is a great chance to hear some old favourites, such as ‘Chain Gang’, ‘Catch A Falling Star’, ‘Three Coins in a Founda- tion’, Brunelle said. The quartet members are Jinx, Sparky, Smudge and Francis. Jinx (Appleton) is the shy one, who doesn’t always remember what song comes next or what dance move to make. He’s Sparky’s step brother and there’s some sibling rivalry going on. Sparky (Peel) is the clown, always looking for a way to crack some jokes. Smudge (Bentley) is the worrier who is left-handed but also has trouble telling which is his right foot and which is his left, which makes for some interesting choreography. Francis (Vankleef) is the leader of the, um, pack, the confident Drug Awareness Week event in Ajax DURHAM — Live Out Loud. The free event for local youth, ages 13 to 19, who live in Ajax or Pickering includes live music, inter- active games and drug-awareness activities. There will be a battle between popular local bands such as Me- tropolis and One Over You. Grab a slice of free pizza and take part in the games, prizes and giveaways, all to promote Drug Awareness Week. Live Out Loud is on Nov. 7 from 7 to 10 p.m., at the Lincoln Alexander Community Centre, located at 95 Church St., N., Ajax.

Ajacian Jocelyn Ball loves painting portraits Most of us don’t have a sense of what our main focus in life will be until we are well along in high school or maybe even when we’ve moved on to post-secondary education. In Jocelyn Ball’s case, her teacher and fellow students in Grade 3 no- ticed how well she drew her favou- rite animals -- rabbits and horses -- and told her she was an “artist.” She didn’t quite understand what that meant, other than that she could do something special that most other kids couldn’t. But, from then on, and over the intervening years, it became the Ajax portrait painter’s main identification, and fine art be- came a primary life pursuit. Ball grew up in North York and attended George Vanier Secondary School, where she took the well- regarded visual arts program. She then began studies in the commu- nications and design faculty at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto where, with a practical eye on a career in advertising il- lustration, she focused on illustra- tion and design. After graduating in 1989, she shopped around a high realist portfolio that, however, drew little interest from advertising art directors, who were in love with the quirky, edgy realism that was in vogue at that time. So she was forced to get a job, ending up as a teller and eventually an extra- hours supervisor at a major finan- cial institution. But, as fate goes, fellow workers became aware of the portraits she had begun paint- ing and requests for commissions began to come her way. Several years of participation in the an- nual Toronto City Hall outdoor art show also gleaned her numerous commissions. And her career as a portrait painter was launched. In 1990, Ball and life partner (and high school sweetheart) Chuck Muir -- a Toronto firefight- er -- moved to Ajax, where she is now a full-time artist and a stay- at-home mom with two children, Christopher and Shauna (a News Advertiser carrier). She is, as well, in her second year with a part-time, seasonal job taking school pictures, an occupation that has sharpened her photographic and subject pos- ing skills. Ask her about her motivation for painting faces and figures and she smiles and talks glowingly about the appeal of striking features, the play of light and shadow and the challenge of composition and like- ness. She protests she isn’t aiming to capture “soul” in portraiture, but that people often tell her she has done just that when their commis- sion is turned over to them. She doesn’t work “from life” but usually from her own photography or from photos supplied by her clients. Her style is highly real, moderate- ly expressionistic and technically breathtaking. Ball also paints non-portrait fine art: landscapes, still lifes and ani- mals (her cat), and figures and faces that intrigue her.

In his only major contribu- tion to the offence, Morris made a circus catch and run for a 50-yard touchdown with two seconds remaining, lifting the Donald A. Wilson Gators to an improbable 22-19 win over the Pickering High School Trojans in a Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior football semifinal on Thursday afternoon. With the win, the Gators ad- vance to the LOSSA Tier 1 championship game Nov. 15 at Civic Stadi- um in Oshawa, where they will look to defend their 2007 title. “We had to win this game,” Morris said shortly after being mobbed by his teammates. “It was an awesome game. We have five-year players who couldn’t play anymore if we lost this game, so we had to win this game.” As for the incredible finish, Morris was still in awe after- ward. “I couldn’t believe I caught it,” he said of the sideline pass thrown by quarterback Leith Fisken. “It came in my hands and I just turned around and ran it.” Although Morris was the man of the moment, the fact the Ga- tors were in position to steal the game was due to a superb de- fensive effort in the second half and the powerful kicking leg of Rashad La Touche. While the defence completely shut down the potent Pickering attack in the second half, La Tou- che kicked his fourth and fifth field goals of the game to bring the Gators back from a 19-9 half- time deficit. But Wilson head coach Adam Papadakos spread the credit around, while admitting he hadn’t been part of a much more exciting game. “In 22 years, it ranks up there with as good a football game as I’ve seen,” said Papadakos, a for- mer Pickering High coach who started the football program at Wilson. “I am so proud of our kids. A total, total team effort. Every one of them dug deep and just played outstanding foot- ball.” Although a semifinal, the game had all the feel of a final, as most observers agreed it featured the league’s top two teams. The Trojans had won all of their games convincingly this season, but were stripped of three of them when LOSSA de- termined they had used an in- eligible player for the first three games. The Gators were among the beneficiaries, and had home field advantage thanks to a 6-0 regular season record, compared to Pickering’s 3-3 mark after the ruling. Pickering head coach Camer- on Lee, while not using the rul- ing as an excuse, admitted home field was a huge advantage for the Gators. “I think it could have been home field, I honestly do,” he said when asked what the differ- ence in the game was. “They have a kicker who can kick the ball forever and a field that works for them. But you just never know. Any given Sunday, as they say.” La Touche, Wilson’s feature running back who had missed most of the previous two games with a hamstring injury, booted field goals of 47, 44, 40, 35 and 45 yards. Pickering’s touchdowns came from Daniel Heslop on a 17-yard run, Michael Robson on an 85- yard reception and Major New- man on a 100-yard punt return, the latter two coming in the final two minutes of the first half. Wilson will now face the win- ner of Friday’s semifinal be- tween Courtice’s Holy Trinity Titans and the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs of Pickering. “That will be the challenge, without a doubt, to come back from such an emotional victory and get ready for a LOSSA final,” Papadakos said. “Whether it’s St. Mary’s or Holy Trinity, it’s going to be a tough football game as well.” Jason Liegregts/ News Advertiser photo Pickering High Trojans’ Delino Smith, with ball, is tackled by Donald Wilson’s Spencer Hills during LOSSA senior tier 1 semifinal football action at Donald A. Wilson High School in Whitby on Thursday. The defending champion Gators ended the Trojans’ season with a 22-19 victory. ‘In 22 years, it ranks right up there with as good a football game as I’ve seen.’ -- WILSON GATORS HEAD COACH ADAM PAPADAKOS *While quantities last.

After absorbing an 11-0 butt- kicking at the hands of the Oakville Blades of the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s MacKinnon Division last Saturday, Nov. 1, the Panthers have another major obstacle staring them in the face in the form of the first- place Lindsay Muskies. The Panthers begin a home-and- home series against the Muskies to- night (Friday) at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The teams finish the two-game set in Lindsay on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Pickering head coach Bill Brady is also left to wonder what the Panthers did to deserve a schedule loaded with heavyweights of the league at this point in the campaign. “The schedule maker didn’t do us any favours. We got Oakville last week, who were at the Royal Bank Cup last year and have most of their players back again this year and are a top 10 to 15 club in Canada, and then have to play two against another top team in Canada. When you have to play three in a row against these types of teams it’s an uphill battle.” The Muskies come to town with an outstanding 14-4 mark, with a shootout win and an overtime loss, and winners of their last two games. The last time the two teams met, however, the last-placed Panthers pulled out an improbable 6-5 over- time victory back on Sept. 28. The Panthers were able to bulk up in the scoring department with the addition of forward Kyle Ramsay. Ramsay came to the Panthers cour- tesy of the Peterborough Liftlock Stars in a cash deal. In his debut with the Panthers against the Bowmanville Eagles on Oct. 31, Ramsay was a definite cata- lyst in helping the Panthers break off a six-game losing streak in a 5-4 home-ice win over the Eagles. Ram- say put together a five-point night, with a goal and four assists while earning first star of the game hon- ours. He was part of the forward line of Greg Riggs and Tyler von Engelbre- chten for the Bowmanville contest, which immediately clicked. Brady says he definitely plans to leave that combination alone in hopes they’ll have that same production against Lindsay. “They seem to have some chemis- try, so I’m going to leave him (Ram- say) there and see where it takes us. They looked good the other night,” said Brady. The team’s injury woes on the blue-line have also lessened as Aaron Engelage and Eammon Courtney have returned to the lineup. One other rearguard, Nick LeBouthillier, is still out with an ankle injury. He’s joined in the infirmary by forwards Tyler Hauer and Connor Ste. Marie, who each have minor injuries that are of a day-to-day nature. AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Bowmanville Eagles’ forward Brian Kunetsky fights for control of the puck in the Panthers’ zone while being defended by Pickering defenceman Aaron Engelage during recent Ontario Junior Hockey League play at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Pickering Panthers scored a 5-4 victory to break off a six-game losing streak. The next night in Oakville, however, the Panthers were pummeled 11-0 by the Blades. • MEDICAL & GENERAL LAB ASSISTANT Other Specialized Healthcare Programs Available Call to Enquire • Massage Therapy • Pharmacy Assistant • Intra-Oral Dental Assistant Level 1 & 2 • Social Service Worker • Personal Support Worker • Medical Offi ce Assistant • Esthetics Scarborough 2130 Lawrence Ave. E. 416-701-1201 Classes Starting Soon!Classes Starting Soon!Classes Starting Soon!Classes Starting Soon!Positions Available with Wireless Installation Company: Immediate positions available for the right in- dividual(s) Jr. Estimator: A working knowledge of CAD is required.

PICKERINGADVERTISING FEATUREDurham Windows and Doors Brings Mobile Showroom To Your Door Wayne Hutchison brings to the replacement window and door business a new and long overdue feature. It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” explains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 26 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs windows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575.
