Oct. 18 to 24 is Waste Reduction Week across Canada and the City of Pickering has internal and external events planned to help reduce waste throughout the municipality. Waste Reduction Week aims to inform Cana- dians about the environmental and social ramifications of wasteful practices and to educate and engage Canadians to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. “It’s an educational program to share with people about waste reduction, how they can get involved and reducing waste at work and at home,” said Michelle Pongracz, Pickering co-ordinator of environmental awareness programs. The City will kick off the week in partner- ship with the Region of Durham on Satur- day, Oct. 16 for its electronic waste collec- tion event.

The Durham Breastfeeding Coalition and The Youth Centre are working togeth- er to host the event on Oct. 20 at the Ajax Community Centre in the Ontario Early Years Centre, 75 Centennial Rd., from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event targets pregnant and breast- feeding women, their families, partners or friends. The goal is to share information about the benefits of breastfeeding and support services in the community. There will be community and profes- sional panelists and speakers on hand who will have suggestions on how to sup- port breastfeeding mothers. There will also be agency displays, inter- active games, refreshments, cake, give-a- ways and door prizes. Durham police delivered food to those in need KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- In the spir- it of Community Support Month, Durham police offi- cers dedicated some time to deliver meals alongside volunteers throughout the region last week. It was Meals on Wheels Week when Sergeant Jeff Moore of 19 Division part- nered up with a volunteer to deliver meals to the many Pickering and Ajax residents who use the program. Dur- ham Regional Police offi- cers also helped deliver the nutritious hot and frozen meals to residents in Clar- ington, Oshawa, Whitby, Port Perry and Uxbridge. “The Meals on Wheels program is a very impor- tant service that contributes greatly to the lives of some of our most vulnerable citi- zens,” said Durham Police Chief Mike Ewles in a press release. “We are happy to participate in this Meals on Wheels Week event in a meaningful way, honour the volunteers and help give visibility to this important service.” Meals on Wheels is a service provided by Community Care Durham, a multi-ser- vice registered charitable organization that also pro- vides home support, respite, and mental health services for adults and their caregiv- ers. Other services include transportation, luncheon out and foot care clinics. Volunteers deliver meals to those who need the help every weekday through- out the region. Although the majority of clients are seniors, adults with medi- cal, physical and mental health-related needs also use the program. “We in this office on an annual basis do 15,000 meals -- that’s hot and fro- zen,” said Debbie Kalgoris, Community Care Durham administrator about the Pickering office. She added they deliver about 11,000 fresh meals, and 4,000 frozen each year. The service delivers 7,000 hot and frozen nutritious meals each month across Durham as a whole, said Brent Farr, executive direc- tor of Community Care Dur- ham. “The delivery of our ser- vices would not be possi- ble without the generous support of our volunteers, donors and community partners,” he said in a press release. The service also allows the clients to have visits on a regular basis, Ms. Kalgoris pointed out. “A lot of the clients get to know who’s on their route,” she said. Sgt. Moore was happy to help with the service. “Honestly, I’ve always had a softness for kids and the elderly,” he said before heading out to deliver the meals. He said his grandfather, who lived in East York, used the Toronto-based Meals on Wheels program in the past. The meals are not free, but low cost. Hot meals are $6 each and frozen meals are $31 for a package of five entrees and five soups or desserts. It’s $31 for seven frozen entrees with no soup or dessert. Community Care Durham receives funding from the Province, the United Way, the federal government and donors.

Debbie Kalgoris, Community Care Durham Make A Difference 2010: Pickering woman takes her energy door-to-door CAROLA VYHNAK newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Jacob Mantle knew he was gaining ground with his door-knocking when an opponent told him: “Everywhere I go, you’ve already been.” On his second round of canvassing the 2,000 homes in Uxbridge’s Ward 4, where he’s running for town coun- cil, Mr. Mantle says people are now greeting him by name. At 21, he’s one of the GTA’s youngest candidates in the upcoming munici- pal election. Like other twen- tysomethings run- ning for office, he agrees that while youth may give them a head start, there are no short- cuts to City Hall. “It all comes down to hard work,” says Mr. Mantle, who’s spending all his avail- able hours “getting to doors, boning up on issues and meeting the people.” Far from being an obstacle, his tender age and boyish appearance -- even decked out in stylish business appar- el -- work in his favour, says Mr. Mantle, a recent univer- sity graduate employed as a legislative assis- tant to Dur- ham MPP John O’Toole. “Some people tell me, ‘you’re get- ting my vote because you’re 21.’” The sev- enth-genera- tion Uxbridge resident, whose opponents are two fortys- omethings and a 69-year-old grandfather, says he wants to bring the town out of its “same old, same old” rut by focusing more on its youth. Injecting new life and ideas into their local council is a common theme with young candidates, whose rivals are usually decades older. Pavement-pounding and the personal touch are the secret to success, according to Jennifer O’Connell, who was elected to Pickering city council four years ago at age 23. “I worked hard and knocked on a lot of doors because I’m the only one who could sell myself,” says Ms. O’Connell, who has a degree in political science. “I knew the issues well and I was definitely qualified. But I was unknown and I had to prove myself.” On council, she faced a “huge obstacle” as a young woman trying to break through her colleagues’ “old boys’ club mentality.” “It was a big shock,” says Ms. O’Connell, who’s repeat- ing her campaign strategy in a bid for a seat on Durham regional council. “After all the hard work to get elected, people still didn’t treat you with respect.” Still, she encourages oth- ers to get involved in poli- tics. Ms. O’Connell talks to high school students and advises candidates in her age group. ters who are future voters and who can influence their parents.” Carola Vyhnak is a reporter for the durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 14, 20104 AP at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Regent Theatre Concert Series durhamdurham Great music close to home!

Yes you can... >>durhamregion.com/ specialreports ELECTION Mayoral candidate’s comments appalling To the editor: I was appalled when reading the article in the Ajax News Advertiser about the may- or’s debate wherein Sherry Clymer com- pared the Durham Pride flag with a Nazi flag. Did Ms. Clymer just roll out of bed one morning and thought she would like a little extra spending money and decided to try out for mayor? This woman is in desperate need of some education and training in sensitivity, diver- sity, and inclusiveness. Ms. Clymer is obviously the type of per- son who engages her “inside voice” and spews forth unfiltered thoughts. Ajax is lucky in that it currently has a mayor and council who are respectful of residents’ concerns and are knowledge- able and experienced in effectively direct- ing the municipality with their insightful fiscal responsibility. The Town of Ajax offers a beautiful water- front, great shopping, and exceptional Town services that are directly reflective of Town policies and principles. Sherry Cly- mer needs to go back to bed. She’s an embarrassment to all profes- sional women. Deborah Meade Ajax WATER USE No political will to promote conservation To the editor: With all the hype pertaining to ‘green ini- tiatives’ and the push for all citizens to do their bit, I was looking at installing eco- friendly low-flush toilets in my home. Having contacted the Pickering munici- pal office to confirm what type of rebate process is in place, I was advised that there is no rebate program and that, in fact, it was eliminated in 2005. I am very surprised that Durham Region, with all its focus on environmental aware- ness, happens to be the only municipal region within Ontario that does not pro- vide a rebate incentive to homeowners looking to install water-saving toilets. The current ‘policy’ does not align with fostering a green culture and in reducing water consumption within each house- hold. We need incentives that motivate us to take steps that will further strengthen our commitment to the environment. Other municipalities are doing it; why not Durham Region? As it is an election year, I would hope the mayoral candidates will get off the throne and address this valid issue. Ricardo Nicholas Pickering HUNGER Pickering store’s food bank offering a good start To the editor: I would like to congratulate the Metro store in Pickering for offering food pack- ages for the food banks, for sale at a cost of $5.99. With so many families suffering, and food banks being very short of food I would like to suggest the following: • I believe all major grocers should offer reasonably priced food bank food packag- es for sale; • These should be available all the time. Hunger isn’t going to go away for many children, seniors and other adults; • Items in the food packages should change frequently, so recipients aren’t always eat- ing the same things; • Stores should not make a profit on these food packages. They should include the cost of the food and the labour necessary to create them. Perhaps volunteers could make them up and save the labour costs; • There should be marketing donated on local television, radio and in-store posters encouraging every person, who can afford to do so, to buy at least one package weekly when cashing out. Times are tough for many. Times will probably become even tougher in days to come for many with heating bills, taxes, loss of jobs, illness ... the list is lengthy. We need to help.

It was all in a day’s volunteering for police and local residents who take part in this vital community program, operat- ed by Community Care Durham, a multi- service organization that provides home support, respite and mental health ser- vices alongside the Meals on Wheels pro- gram and other social services. It’s not an exaggeration to character- ize Meals on Wheels program as a huge undertaking. On an annual basis, some 15,000 meals are prepared, packaged and delivered locally to residents in need, whether seniors or adults with medical, physical or mental health-related needs. On a region- al scale, 7,000 meals are sent to program users every month. Neither is it an exaggeration to suggest the army of volunteers, donors and com- munity-based partners are at the founda- tion of the success of Meals on Wheels. They are your neighbours, friends -- even your local beat cop -- who deliver the meals with efficient regularity and almost always with a broad smile. It is precisely this sort of initiative, where good-hearted and motivated citizens are at the foundation of the success, which makes good communities great ones. But it is more than that, too. As a United Way member agency, Community Care is pro- vided annual funding to continue its work in Ajax and Pickering, indeed in commu- nities and neighbourhoods across Dur- ham Region. In that context, local residents who choose to support the United Way through annual donations are also helping to extend the effort of Meals on Wheels and other programs administered through Community Care, and continue to keep costs affordable for those who need and regularly use the program. United Way is currently in the midst of its annual fundraising effort. Give what you can to help it reach its goal and its obligations to member agencies. Alterna- tively, Meals and Wheels is always look- ing to recruit new volunteers. Consider donating some of your time if you can’t donate money, or help recruit others in your workplace, on your street, or at your place of worship. It doesn’t take much time or much effort. But it serves a vital need in the communi- ty. Serve a hot, nutritious meal. Serve your neighbours in need. -- Ajax and Pickering News Advertiser durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 14, 20107 P HELP WANTED MAYOR, CITY OF PICKERING OCTOBER 25TH 2010 Visit www.mauricebrenner.com email brenner@mauricebrenner.com or call 905-831-8030 BrennerMaurice MAYOR A Strong Community Voice City of Pickering Elect ✔Maurice BRENNER will do something about it.

For more information, e-mail info@concertband.ca and use the subject line “Composition Query”. from page 1 Residents can drop off e-waste such as video games, televisions, radios and cell phones, which will be properly disposed of. A full list of acceptable items, plus reg- ular procedures to dispose of the waste properly, can be found at www.durham. ca/waste. The e-waste collection takes place from 8 a.m. to noon at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd., in the gravel parking lot. Now that technology is so advanced, and it seems people are constantly get- ting the latest gadgets, it’s even more important people consider ways to redi- rect waste from landfill, Ms. Pongracz said. For example, when shopping, residents should consider if they really need spe- cific items or if they can buy them used. If they’re getting rid of things, they may want to consider putting the items for sale on websites such as kijiji.com, she said. “I think a lot of people are starting to catch onto it and are doing these types of acts,” she said. On Monday, Oct. 18, the City is doing a coffee-cup round-up at its munici- pal buildings to get an idea of just how many of them are going to waste each day, since coffee cups are not recyclable in Durham Region. “They go straight in the garbage,” she said, adding the final numbers will be publicized. On Oct. 22, the City is encouraging its employees to bring a litter-less lunch and to use items such as reusable lunch bags and containers. The Sustainable Pickering website also has a number of different ideas to help reduce waste at work, home and school. Although Waste Reduction Week is only a week-long event, the City constantly seeks new ways to divert its waste from landfill, Ms. Pongracz said. For example, the dog waste collection bins have been a success, Ms. Pongracz said. She explained a contractor collects the waste from the specially-marked bins and brings it to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control plant for proper treat- ment. “We have 12 of them in our parks in Pickering,” she said, adding the number should increase as it proved to be a suc- cessful program. Ms. Pongracz said kids are becoming more aware of waste issues, and it’s often the children who speak up and ask ques- tions at public events. “Now they’re taking that information back home to their parents,” she said.

The fees -- of up to $6.66 per item -- appeared July 1, only to be sus- pended three weeks later after a widespread backlash. On Tues- day, Environment Minister John Wilkinson, retreating from the con- troversial levies, said: “We listened to people.” The Liberal government will replace the fees with a simpler pro- gram, costing about $8 million a year, to help municipalities “prop- erly manage, recycle and dispose of” a handful of products. Those products, which will likely be dropped off at local hazardous waste sites, are rechargeable bat- teries, pharmaceuticals, fire extin- guishers, syringes and compact fluorescent bulbs and other prod- ucts containing mercury. Environmental commissioner Gord Miller, who had panned the eco fees as “a mess,” was pleased the government kept existing recy- cling charges on TVs, electron- ics, tires, paints, solvents and sin- gle-use batteries. But he said it’s “a setback and a disappointment” that the Liberals have “abandoned extended producer responsibil- ity” -- namely, the recycling fees charged to companies to discour- age them from making or sell- ing hazardous products instead of green alternatives. The discredited eco fee scheme was launched y Stewardship Ontar- io the same day as the unpopu- lar 13-per cent harmonized sales tax hit Ontarians. The fees were charged on everything from hand sanitizers and bleach to household cleaners and fertilizer. Premier Dalton McGuinty admitted Tuesday his government botched the fees at a time when families are already struggling to make ends meet. “We’ve got to make sure we strike the right balance between protect- ing the environment and protect- ing consumers,” he told reporters while visiting Whitby. At a hastily-called news confer- ence at Queen’s Park, Mr. Wilkin- son said he is requesting that con- sumer representatives be invited to sit on the boards of organiza- tions such as Stewardship Ontar- io to ensure recycling programs make sense to the public. -- Torstar news services durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 14, 201010 AP Shop by phone 1-800-267-3277Shop online sears.ca 40% off *All men’s reg. priced Joe Boxer®underwear and sleepwear.

PICKERING TOWN CENTRE 905-420-8000 durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 14, 201011 AP Dear Residents of our Community: As Chair of the Oshawa Hospital Foundation, I feel compelled to address several issues that have been raised recently regarding our management practices and the role of our Chief Executive Officer, Jim Szeman. First, let me say that we are extremely proud of all that the Foundation has accomplished, raising close to $100 million in eleven years, money that directly benefits patients, our community and our Region as a whole. You need not look any further than the R.S. McLaughlin Regional Cancer Centre for proof of the extraordinary work of the Foundation under the leadership of Jim Szeman. I want to stress that at all times our decisions have been based on one guiding principle: to maximize the amount of money raised, while limiting the expense to do so. I am proud to say that dollar for dollar, our Foundation gets significantly better value for money than organizations of a similar size. Here is a great example: the Heroes for Hope Campaign (minus the Cash for Cancer Lottery) raised $25.7 million between 1999 and 2009. The total expense to raise that amount was $1.7 million, less than seven per cent of gross revenues. Put another way, it cost us about six and a half cents to raise one dollar, a ratio that most Canadian charities can only dream of. To help us with the Cash for Cancer Lottery, we pay an outside firm. This is standard practice in the charity sector. Contrary to yesterday’s front page banner stating that “Jim Szeman hired his own firm to raise funds for the Cancer Centre”, this is simply not accurate. It is true that the Foundation Board made a unique arrangement with the firm Uncommon Results, which is partly owned by Mr. Szeman. However, the benefits speak for themselves. We are able to run the Lottery at a cost substantially lower than that of our competitors. Here are the numbers:  t$BTIGPS$BODFS-PUUFSZIBTHSPTTFE  TJODFJUöSTUTUBSUFEJO+BOVBSZ  t5IFBWFSBHFDPTUPGSVOOJOHB-PUUFSZJO$BOBEBJTGPVSUPöWFQFSDFOUPGHSPTTSFWFOVFT XIJDIXPVMENFBODPTUTPGCFUXFFO $3.1 million and $3.8 million.  t'FFTQBJEUP6ODPNNPO3FTVMUTUPUBMFEPOMZ PS0.508PGHSPTTSFWFOVF GBSCFMPXUIFJOEVTUSZBWFSBHFSFTVMUJOHJO more money going directly to our Cancer Center. Our community would not have the state of the art Cancer Centre if it wasn’t for the Cash for Cancer Lottery and the leadership of Mr. Szeman, and cancer patients in Durham Region and beyond would have continued to access radiation therapy in Toronto, Thunder Bay, or even Buffalo. In addition, I can advise you that the financial statements of the OHF are audited each year as required by law, and these audits have been completely satisfactory. In addition, there was a targeted audit in 2007 by the Canadian Revenue Agency and all Foundation employees’ salaries and the arrangement with Uncommon Results were addressed, and again there was no hint of any impropriety. However, we at the Foundation are always striving to do better. After listening to our valued donors, who overwhelmingly remain supportive, we have decided to re-confirm that our policies and procedures and conflict-of-interest guidelines conform to best practices in the broader charitable sector. We will begin this review immediately and will report back to donors in our Vim and Vigour magazine. I, along with the Board of Directors and Jim Szeman, sincerely appreciate the enormous outpouring of support we have received from donors, sponsors, volunteers, hospital staff and physicians. I would like to conclude with a few words about Jim Szeman. I have worked with Jim over the past seven years and know him to be a man of integrity and vision who is passionately committed to our Foundation, Hospital and Cancer Centre. He has a tireless work ethic, which routinely sees him working 18-hour days, motivated by a sincere desire to help others. His accomplishments truly reflect a leader who has made a difference between good healthcare and excellent healthcare. All of us at the Foundation – the Board, Executive Committee and staff – share in Jim’s vision and we will not waver in our commitment to improve patient care in our city, region and province. Sincerely, Stephanie Ball Chair, Oshawa Hospital Foundation Paid Advertisement DURHAM -- While the excite- ment of more room for recy- cling has recently hit Durham, residents are being reminded that the new, bigger blue boxes are for containers only -- not paper products. The Regional Municipality of Durham is distributing the new boxes until Oct. 29 to house- holds receiving curbside col- lection in hopes of getting more recyclables. The boxes were designed to ensure additional capacity for recyclable contain- ers. Each box has instructions written on the side detailing the products that can be recycled in that specific box. If residents have not received the new box by Oct. 29, they can contact The Regional Munici- pality of Durham waste man- agement division at 905-579- 5264, or toll free at 1-800-667- 5671.

The Durham Region Health Department, how- ever, has come up with a simple solution -- the Discover Your Inner Chef! food budget Kit. The kit serves the pur- pose of helping families save money on groceries, save time and help fami- lies to prepare meals that fit their budgets. It is also an encouragement for families to cook more at home. The project was inspired by the insecurity that many Durham residents feel when it comes to the stress of affording grocer- ies on top of paying for shelter. According to the 2010 Nutritious Food Basket, nine per cent of the Dur- ham population has expe- rienced this insecurity to the point where parents go hungry just so that their children can eat. To order a copy of the Discover Your Inner Chef! Food Budget Kit, visit www.durham.ca or con- tact Durham Health Con- nection Line at 905-666- 6241.

Do manufacturers of hearing aids own hearing aid clinics? A. There is a recent trend in hearing care for some manufacturers of hearing aids to own hearing aid clinics. These clinics typically sell only hearing aids manufactured by the manufacturer. Q. Is your hearing aid clinic owned by a hearing healthcare professional? A. An audiologist is a member of the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario. A hearing instrument practitioner is a member of the Association of Hearing Instrument Practitioners of Ontario. A hearing aid clinic owned by an audiologist or hearing instrument practitioner typically offers hearing aids manufactured by more than one manufacturer. Our three hearing aid clinics are owned by an audiologist and hearing instrument practitioner. Q. How will I know if a hearing aid clinic is owned by a health professional? A. . You can ask two questions: • Are you owned by a health professional or a manufacturer of hearing aids? • Do you carry hearing aids manufactured by more than one manufacturer? Choice is critical when treating hearing loss. Hearing loss is unique; there is no “cookie cutter” solution. Our approach is motivated by evidence-based practice and we fi t our patients with hearing aids that are just right for them. The Choice is Yours!

Q. What is an iQ OtoLens™? A. -Oto- is from the Greek, meaning /ear/. Lens (optics) converg- es (or diverges) light but in this case, iQ OtoLens™ means that it converges sound. The iQ OtoLens™ is the world’s fi rst invis- ible-in-the-canal (IIC) hearing aid. The iQ OtoLens™ is 100% invisible and 100% amazing. A. The Voice iQ is a new noise reduction and speech preservation system that is so fast and smart that it reduces noise between syllables of speech. Voice iQ was devel- oped over three years and uses a two-part algorithm that calculates appropriate gain on a per channel basis. The result is unprecedented sound quality, ease of listening and preservation of speech in noise. In other words, the Voice iQ holds speech volume up and pushes background noise down, meaning you hear more of what you want to hear, like conversations, and less of what you don’t like to hear, like wind and background noise. Q. Do you have to be specially trained to fi t the iQ OtoLens™? A. Yes and our staff have been trained in the “Comfort Fit Process” impression tech- nique. The tiny hearing instruments fi t in the second bend of the ear, meaning that it is truly 100% invisible with minimal occlusion (plugged up sensation). And, there is no annoying or embarassing acoustic feedback (whistling or ringing). Q. What does the /iQ/ stand for?

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE If your previous denture has broken, it is not because it is not made correctly, but because the acrylic resin used to make dentures is fragile. It can easily break due to shock (if it drops) or from fatigue caused by con- tinual micro-shocks while chewing. Fiber Force is a strong, esthetic, comfortable fi ber re- inforcement system that can be incorporated into your new dentures. The unique technology uses impregnat- ed specially-treated E glass fi bers coated with a resin that bonds to the acrylic resin used to make dentures. A Fiber Force denture is more than 300% stronger than traditional acrylic dentures. Previous methods of strengthening dentures relied on various types of metal reinforcements. These methods added considerable weight and thickness to the den- ture. They didn’t bond to the denture resin base, which limited their strength. They were not esthetic. They transferred heat when consuming hot drinks. Fast & Easy The Fiber Force process offers reliable and consistent results using specialized equipment and a custom tech- nique that has been learned by your dental professional. The Fiber Force process does not add any delays to the time required to make your dentures. Fiber Force only adds a small percentage to the over- all cost of your dentures. It is well worth the invest- ment in relation to the increase in comfort and strength of your new dentures. All information provided by Synca.

If you consistently sleep less than 6 hours, or more than 8, you may be in a higher risk group for premature death. This meta analy- sis, a study that examines studies on a subject, compared data on the sleep and health of more than 1.3 million people around the world and was published by UK and Italian researchers in the May issue of the journal Sleep.With his col- leagues, Professor Francesco Cappuccio, of the University of Warwick, found that sleeping less than 6 hours a night was linked to a 12 per cent higher chance of premature death compared to sleeping 6 to 8 hours. Also, consistently sleep- ing 9 or more hours a night was linked to an in- creased risk of death, but probably because sick people sleep more."Whilst short sleep may repre- sent a cause of ill-health, long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health." If you have diffi culty falling asleep or staying asleep you may not want to try pharmaceutical sleep medications as a fi rst choice. They may have side effects and may not provide the thera- peutic natural sleep that leaves you refreshed and rested. There are many natural techniques and products that may help. From a cup of warm milk or a walk before bed, to a supplements like 5- HTP, l-theanine and melatonin, or a formula like Super Sleep from Webber Naturals that com- bines all three of these natural sleep aids, there are ways to enhance the duration and quality of your sleep. Don't suffer needlessly or risk short- ening your life while you toss and turn.

Wastewater flows are nearing the rated capacity of the WPCP; therefore, the Region of Durham is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to plan for additional wastewater treatment capacity to service the Port Perry urban area. The study shall strive to accommodate the long-term goal of servicing all of the Port Perry urban area with municipal wastewater systems, including the areas currently serviced by private septic systems and holding tanks. The Study The study will follow Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (as amended October 2007), and will satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA will define the issues to be addressed, identify feasible alternatives, evaluate the (technical, natural, social/cultural and economic) impacts of the alternatives, and recommend a solution. The Class EA process provides members of the public and agencies with opportunities for input and ensures that all comments are appropriately addressed and documented for the public record. Comments are encouraged as the study proceeds to facilitate resolution of issues before critical decisions are made. At the conclusion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be filed for public review. In accordance with the Class EA process, all reasonable and feasible alternatives for providing additional wastewater treatment capacity will be considered. The alternatives to be considered, include: expansion of the existing Nonquon River WPCP, provision of a new local wastewater treatment facility, and the conveyance of wastewater to a Lake Ontario based treatment facility (in Whitby, Oshawa or Clarington). Advanced treatment technologies and innovative servicing strategies will be taken into account during the assessment of the alternatives. The Consultation Process Public and agency consultation is a key component of the Class EA process and the submission of comments is encouraged at any time during the study.

YOUTH St. John Ambulance babysitting courses offered this fall CRIME Police bust fraudsters targeting Durham DURHAM -- Nine people have been arrested and two more are being sought following a months- long investigation into the pro- duction and use of fraudulent credit cards in Durham Region. Durham fraud cops teamed up with identity crimes special- ists from the OPP for the inves- tigation, which was launched in July after high-quality counter- feit credit cards began surfacing here. On Monday, officers executed five search warrants in Markham and Toronto, uncovering evi- dence of a sophisticated iden- tity fraud operation. Cops also seized $20,000 worth of marijua- na. Nine people, residents of Toronto and Markham, face charges. Arrest warrants have been issued for two more sus- pects. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 14, 201020 AP CRIME OPP joins Facebook to help track down abducted children with Amber Alert page DURHAM -- The Ontario Provin- cial Police have a new tool to help them track down abducted chil- dren in Ontario. On Friday morning, the OPP published a Facebook page called Ontario Amber Alert after reach- ing a partnership agreement with the popular social networking site. Steve Montpetit, who is the pro- vincial Amber Alert co-ordinator for the OPP, said that the page was to be launched at 9 a.m. and by 9:30 a.m., Facebook users would be notified of the new page. With this page, any Facebook user who selects “like” or becomes a fan of the page will receive a real-time alert for abducted chil- dren in Ontario, including any rel- evant photos. “Any time we can reach out to more people, we’re happy,” said Montpetit. “Everybody is so big into wire- less gadgets that this will be a bonus.” New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island were the first prov- inces to launch a Facebook Amber Alert page earlier this year. Only a few weeks ago, the OPP teamed up with Mac’s Conve- nience Stores to post Amber Alerts on their TV screens across the province. Nineteen Amber Alerts have gone out in Ontario since 2003, leading to 16 children being res- cued, according to the OPP. After a review of the Amber Alert program in Ontario, the OPP have changed their rules for issuing an alert. Instead of having to confirm an abduction and threat of harm, they now can issue an alert when they believe a child has been abducted and is believed at risk of harm. AMBER stands for America’s Missing: Broadcasting Emer- gency Response but was origi- nally named for Amber Hager- man, a nine-year-old child who was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas, in 1996.

Kirby was named the Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Week after anchoring a defense that did not con- cede a goal in either game. She didn’t allow a shot from either player she guarded as AIC recorded shutout vic- tories over New Haven (2-0) and South- ern Connecticut (3-0). The Ajax High School graduate is an original member of the Ajax Titans soccer team. She is also doing well in the classroom, finding herself on the Dean’s List as she majors in sports and recreation management. One of her teammates is Ally Trin- ier, a junior back from Ajax who also graduated from Ajax High School. She is enrolled in the sports and recreation management program as well. HOCKEY Panthers drop another game PETERBOROUGH -- The Pickering Panthers lost another one on Tuesday. After a winless weekend at the Governors Showcase Tournament in Aurora, the Panthers had hoped to start fresh with a trip to face the Peterbor- ough Stars, but a 4-2 deficit after two periods, coupled with an anemic power play rendered that impossible and the Panthers fell 6-3. Though the final score was a three- goal spread, had the Panthers power play put a better effort forward than their 1-for-18 showing on the gamesheet, perhaps the outcome may have been different. That aside, the fact the Panthers were forced to play catch up all night after falling behind 2-0 just eight min- utes in didn’t help their cause. Tyler vonEngelbrechten did cut the lead to one before the first period was out, but two more Peterborough goals in the second made it 4-1 before the Panthers could strike again with a Khalid Alli goal with just over three min- utes left in the frame. Jamie Sodhi, with a power-play goal in the third, rounded out the scoring. Adam Stein was in goal for the Pan- thers, allowing five goals on 37 shots. With the loss, Pickering sits dead last in the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s East Division with four points and a record of 2-12-0 as the season nears the quarter pole. DURHAM COLLEGE German duo lead Lords Ajax resident Kayleigh Kraemer taking Ontario links by storm SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The women’s golf program at Durham College is back among the elite in the province and they can thank a pair of impres- sive German athletes for that. Kayleigh Kraemer, who came over from Ger- many and burst onto the OCAA golf scene by making a name for herself last year, was joined by a friend from home this season in Tiffany Albath. Together, the two have been dominat- ing courses across Ontario since. This week the duo is with the Lords golf program out west, competing at the national championships in Kamloops, B.C. Regardless of their showing there, though, their run this year has been simply magnificent. Albath and Kraemer combined to win all six of the invitational tournaments Durham competed in this season before heading to the Ontario championships and winning the team gold by an eye-popping 81 stokes over the rest of the field. And to boot, Kraemer won indi- vidual gold and Albath the silver. For Albath, who spent last year at a Christian Academy in Alabama, calling her experiences at Durham magnificent doesn’t quite do her feelings justice. “I totally love it. I don’t regret coming here at all,” the 19 year old said in a recent interview. “It’s so much better than the States. Alabama was horrible to me. I love the people here, the people on my team, in my classes, the teach- ers, my coach. Everything is perfect.” The only person happier than Albath when it comes to discussing her and Kraemer’s suc- cess is Lords golf coach Mike Duggan, who was recently named both the OCAA and CCAA golf coach of the year, thanks in large part to the efforts of his European pair. “It’s been fabulous,” he said of watching over Durham’s German connection. “They are both great young ladies. They are here to have fun, enjoy the experience and at the same time play some golf. Obviously the success has been shown on the golf course this year. “Golf Canada, the golf industry in general, is screaming for women to get involved in the program. With their personalities and obvi- ously their game, they can go anywhere. That’s kind of special.” Kraemer, who was essentially the main recruiter that helped steer Albath towards attending Durham, has loved everything about her time here. “I like it a lot better than home,” said the 20 year old, who lives with an aunt in Ajax. “The people are different. They are a lot more open, more friendly. I like the program a lot too.” And apparently the golf courses as well. After winning an OCAA silver medal as a freshman in 2009, more was expected of Krae- mer this year and she delivered as evidenced by her Ontario championships dominance. And having the chance to earn such acco- lades alongside a friend in Albath has height- ened the experience, says Kraemer, if for no other reason than it gives her someone to bet- ter relate to on a consistent basis. “It’s been awesome,” she said with a huge laugh. “Everyone thinks we’re talking about them.” The reality of it though, is considering their performances on the links this season, chanc- es are they are the ones being talked about. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Durham Lords golfers Kayleigh Kraemer and Tiffany Albath won gold and silver medals in the individual competition at the OCAA Championships this week. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 14, 201022 AP INCOME TAX COURSE CURRICULUM – During the 12-week course, students study the basics of income tax preparation including current laws, theory and application.

LOSSA FOOTBALL Pickering finally puts a win on the board DURHAM -- The Pickering Trojans were one of the teams to rebound during the third week of LOSSA football action. After starting 0-2, the Tro- jans prevailed 29-7 over the Paul Dwyer Saints in tier one senior boys’ play to earn their first victory of the season on the strength of Marley Patterson’s second consecutive two-touch- down effort. Mike Stobbart and Tristan Clough accounted for the other Pickering majors, while Garrett Browne had the lone touchdown for Dwyer. With the win, Pickering moved into a three-way tie for the fourth and final playoff position with both the Saints and the J. Clarke Richardson Storm, all at 1-2. J. Clarke 8 Ajax 6 Richardson, meanwhile, earned their first win by slipping past the Ajax Rams 8-6. The Storm had been shutout in their previous two games to start the sea- son. Leigh Philip of Richardson and Ajax’s Quincy James exchanged touchdowns, with the scoring difference being Philip’s convert and a single by Jason Harrison. Holy Trinity 22 St. Mary 16 In the other week three game, Holy Trinity rolled to a 22-16 victory over the St. Mary Monarchs. The Monarchs led 9-1 at the half, but the Titans picked things up from there and moved to 2-0 with the victory. Donald A. Wilson, who had the bye, is also 2-0. Pine Ridge 24 Dunbar- ton 6 At the tier two senior boys’ level, Pine Ridge got a two touchdown game from Andrew Brownlee paced the Pumas in a 24-6 win over Dunbarton. Cord- el Clarke had the other major, while Marco Mertsis accounted for Dunbarton’s only score. Notre Dame 27 Bowmn- ville 0 Meanwhile, for Notre Dame, a three-touchdown game courtesy of Jordan Urqhart was more then enough in a 27-0 victory over Bowmanville. As impressive as Urqhart was, the Notre Dame defence is deserving of some accolades consider- ing they have yet to allow a point this season. Kurlan Cadet scored the other touchdown. St. Mary 16 Holy Trinity 12 At the junior level, St. Mary managed a 16-12 vic- tory over Holy Trinity. Scor- ing wasn’t available for St. Mary, while Blair Winner and Brandon Joachim had the Titans touchdowns. Pickering 43 Paul Dwyer 18 For Pickering, Raekwon Grant scored five touch- downs for the undefeat- ed Trojans including runs of 29, 56 and 65 yards in a 43-18 win over Dwyer. He also returned both a punt (75 yards) and a kickoff (85 yards) for scores. Jesse St. John had Pick- ering’s other major. John Baron, Brody Naulls and Jordan Duncan scored touchdowns for Dwyer. Ajax 51 J. Clarke 13 The Ajax Rams’ offence broke out in a 51-13 win over Richardson, getting touchdowns from Mor- gan Humes (3), Stephen Heldsinger (2), Delmar Brown and Matthew Wil- liams. Richardson scores came from Trevor McGar- rity and Justin McFarlane. Tier two junior scores were as follows: St. Ste- phen’s beat Port Perry 23-8 with touchdowns from Keinan Doucet, Idahossa Yorke and Donovan Del Grande; Uxbridge downed O’Neill 21-6 thanks to majors from Alex Haythorn (2) and Bradley Cole; Pine Ridge upended Dunbarton 34-7 with two touchdowns each from Meschach Green and James Anderson.
