During a visit to Peel Park in the down- town area this past July, she noticed numerous people lighting up cigarettes and blowing smoke into the air where her 18-month-old son, Sean, was play- ing. “Moving from Ottawa, I’m used to hav- ing smoke-free outdoor recreational areas so it didn’t even enter my brain to find out if it was the same in Whitby,” says Ms. Connolley. “It was such a slap in the face to see it.” Ms. Connolley recently took her con- cerns to Town councillors, request- ing that a bylaw be enacted to prohibit smoking in outdoor recreational areas. She was re-directed to the Region of Durham’s health and social services committee, where she was to speak on Oct. 11. “Whitby, and the Durham Region, puts so much money into amazing parks and amazing recreational facilities to endorse healthy lifestyles and then to have smok- ing be alongside that, it doesn’t make sense,” says Ms. Connolley. A growing number of municipali- ties across Canada have been adopting bylaws that regulate smoking in outdoor public places, including parks, play- grounds and beaches. The Non-Smokers’ Rights Associa- tion’s spring 2012 report states that as of May, 69 municipalities in Ontario have adopted smoke-free bylaws that sur- pass the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, imple- mented in 2006. According to data from the Region of Durham health department’s 2011 Rapid Risk Factor Surveil- lance Survey, 89 per cent of Durham residents support smoke-free public playgrounds, 84 per cent are in favour of smoke-free pub- lic playing fields and spectator areas, and 78 per cent support smoke-free public beaches. In addition to constant exposure to second-hand smoke, there’s also the issue of smokers putting out their ciga- rettes near playground equipment, adds Ms. Connolley. “Most of the parks around here are wood chip, which is fantastic, but then the cigarette butts blend in with that,” she says. “When you have a toddler who picks up everything and puts it in his mouth, there is always a risk.” Reporter Parvaneh Pessian covers the town of Whitby for Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 3 AP Last Chance Until Nex t Year Entrance 4,East Parking Lot Bring Your Little Ghosts a nd Goblins a nd get in the Halloween Spirit Early Trick-or-Treating Mini Petting Zoo Face Painting Kids Cra f ts Live Entertainment Fa ll Harvest Treats Save t h e D a t e !

About 1,000 Canadians who don’t smoke die from second-hand smoke every year. Young children who regularly breathe in second-hand smoke are the most vulnerable to effects of second-hand smoke as their lungs and bodies are still developing. This can result in asthma and other breathing problems, coughing and wheezing, painful ear infections, bronchitis, pneumonia and childhood cancers. -- Canadian Cancer Society ‘‘Whitby, and the Durham Region, puts so much money into amazing parks and amazing recreational facilities to endorse healthy lifestyles and then to have smoking be alongside that, it doesn’t make sense.’ Kelly Connolley > Kelly Connolley du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 4 AP Hearing Aids for Less $3500 $1700 $1800Her Savings Our price for the same hearing aids ACCESS TO QUALITY HEARINGCAREATLOWPRICES BATTERY SALE $2.00 /6 PA CK 1005 Elgin St West.

The first robbery took place on Friday, Oct. 5 at 9 p.m., at Salem Road and Bayly Street in Ajax. A 15-year-old boy was walk- ing north on Salem Road when he was approached by two unknown men who wanted to see his cellphone. The victim felt threatened and reluctantly handed over the phone, according to police. The suspects then ran south on Salem Road with the victim’s phone. The teen was not hurt. Both suspects are described as black teenagers, 16 to 17 years old. The first was approximately five-foot-eight tall, wearing a black leather style jacket, black jeans and a red baseball hat. The second suspect was five- foot-six to five-foot-seven tall, with a thin build, dark curly hair and wearing a black jacket and dark-coloured jeans. The second robbery took place on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 2:10 a.m. at Glendale and Kingston Roads in Pickering. A 17-year-old male was approached by an unknown man who demanded he empty his pockets. When the victim refused, the suspect threatened him with a knife. The suspect then reached into the victim’s pocket and grabbed his cellphone before fleeing the area, according to police. The victim was not hurt dur- ing the incident. The suspect is a black male, 17 to 18 years old and approxi- mately 5’9” tall. He had a black bandana cov- ering his face and was wear- ing a black and red hat, a black jacket, black pants and white shoes. In both robberies police offi- cers and K-9 units searched the areas with negative results. Anyone with information regarding either of the robber- ies is asked to contact Detec- tive Dan McKinnon of the West Division Criminal Investiga- tions Bureau’s Street Level Rob- bery Unit at ext. 2565. Anonymous information can be sent to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www. durhamregionalcrimestoppers. ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 5 AP �� Fo r all your DEBTS!Make One Small Monthly Pa yment credit � Visit: Make One Small Monthly Payment Fo r all your DEBTS!

And while the cur- rent government’s proposed changes to Ontario’s system seem sensible, Ajax and Pickering residents must be vigilant and involved to ensure what’s slated at the local level is a good fit and does not mean a loss of important services. Ontario’s Action Plan To Transform Health Care, released earlier this year, is a response both to those high health care costs and to the economic downturn, which has prompted governments and individu- als alike to review how much money they spend and where they spend it. “We can’t keep spending our health dol- lars the way we used to. If we don’t change, we simply won’t be able to guarantee sus- tainable universal public health care for ourselves, our children and our grandchil- dren. That’s why our Action Plan will get better value for our health dollars and put patients first,” states Deb Matthews, Minis- ter of Health and Long-Term Care. According to the Province, the plan will, among other goals, shift funding to give Ontario residents easier access to family doctors and nurse practitioners and sup- port Ontario seniors who want to live inde- pendently in their homes by offering great- er home care supports. The government points out that in 2010/2011 more than 271,000 emergency room visits to Ontario hospitals could have been handled in different primary care set- tings and that caring for our senior popula- tion will cost an estimated $24 billion more per year by 2030. Inevitably, these moves would mean changes at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. The bottom line is that planning for family health care would become the responsibility of Local Health Integration Networks and funding for hospitals and their doctors would go down as funding for community services increases. "Seventy per cent of our funding within three years will be fully variable, based on the rank of services and volume of services that we provide... We are unlikely to be able to continue to provide every service," Rik Ganderton, president and CEO of the Rouge Valley Health System, told Ajax council recently, adding, "From the Ajax-Pickering hospital's point of view, the opportunities are greater for growth than contraction." Perhaps, but any reduction in key services at the hospital in our growing community must be opposed, while services removed from the hospital setting must be available close to home. American presidential debate goes interactive Apparently 70 million people watched last week’s American pres- idential debate. But that’s a guess since no one’s been able to tally exactly how many people watched the debate online. I watched it on YouTube. The company has said millions of oth- ers did too, but declined to name an exact number. CNN, however, said 1.2 million people watched the debate on its website. Numerous other websites also streamed the debate and in fact, interested viewers could even watch it through Xbox Live. Microsoft even provided a little bit of an incentive for Xbox gam- ers to get politically informed. If a user watches three out of four debates, they’ll get new armour for their Halo avatars. Xbox users were also polled and questioned as they watched the debate and the results were instantly released creating what is probably the most interac- tive experience debate watchers have ever had. The whole thing made CNN’s famous debate focus group dialing their little knobs look positively antiquated. For me, watching a comparatively bor- ing YouTube stream, it was still easy to keep track of reactions by following live chats, Twitter and comments on blogs and news sites. Several websites were running online polls as the evening wore on. I didn’t need a network anchor to tell me the next morning that the perception was Mitt Romney won the debate, it was all over social media. Given that places like the Twitter-sphere tend to trend left on the political spectrum, it was a bit like a building wave, with a few peo- ple tweeting a Mitt Romney win in the middle of the debate and those numbers swelling by the end. Apparently TV viewership of the debate hasn’t been this high since Bill Clinton’s 1992 debate and some have speculated that if you factor in online viewers, it reached highs not seen since 1980. If I had to guess, part of it was that it was a great debate, lively and interesting and I suspect that as the evening went on, momentum built as people texted each other or watched their friends get excit- ed about it on Twitter or Facebook streams. Going into the debate, I kept hearing about the importance of television, how it was a game changer decades ago when Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy went toe-to-toe before a viewing audi- ence. With unprecedented interactivity this time around, I wonder if we’ll be saying the same thing about Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and the importance of social media. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every second Thursday in this space.

The man, whose identity is pro- tected by a publication ban, said the stress of withdrawal from pre- scription pain killers led him to finally confide in his wife, and eventually police. James John Hayes pleaded not guilty Tuesday to indecent assault on a male and a weapons offence. Defence lawyer Alan Risen said he’ll contend the incident never occurred. The complainant told Superior Court Justice Alfred Stong he knew Mr. Hayes as a small-time drug dealer in the Bay Ridges neigh- bourhood in Pickering in 1977 or 1978. He said he was at Mr. Hayes’s house to make a drug buy when he was ushered into a basement laundry room, where the accused man suddenly drew a knife and forced him to commit sex acts. “I wanted to yell out because I knew his mother was home -- I could hear her upstairs -- but I didn’t,” the man testified. “I thought he’d stab me. “I pleaded with him not to do it.” The man said he revealed the assault to no one until early 2011 when he underwent harrowing treatment for an addiction to pain killers. It was then he told his wife, who urged him to go to police, court heard. In cross examination Mr. Risen highlighted a number of discrep- ancies in the way the man has recounted details of the alleged incident, citing differences in court testimony and a statement made to police. The man can’t remember some details and mixed up the chronol- ogy of others, Mr. Risen said. Testimony from Mr. Hayes will contradict the man’s story, Mr. Risen said. “We’re disputing that it hap- pened,” he said. The trial continues in Oshawa. One injured after crash at Taunton and Altona roads Driver of van expected to recover after collision with dump truck PICKERING -- One person was taken to hospital after a colli- sion closed the intersection of Taunton and Altona roads in Pickering. Just before 11 a.m. on Wednes- day, Oct. 10 a van collided with a red dump truck at the inter- section, closing the road into the afternoon. The driver of the van was transported by ambu- lance to a local hospital but is expected to recover, said con- stable Gord Fleming of the Dur- ham Regional Police. The driver of the dump truck was unharmed. No cause has been deter- mined. Officers remained on scene after 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday as the investigation continued. > SabrIna byrnES / METroLand PICKERING -- Emergency crews were on the scene of a colli- sion at the intersection of Taunton Road and Altona Road on Wednesday. DURHAM -- Women 50 and over are being encouraged by Durham Region’s health department to get screened for breast cancer as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Breast cancer is the most com- mon type of cancer for women in Durham Region. According to Can- cer Care Ontario, the greatest risk factor for developing breast cancer is age. Approximately 80 per cent of breast cancer cases are found in women 50 and older, and most of these women have no family his- tory of the disease. “Screening can help find can- cer in its early stages when it’s eas- ier to treat or cure,” says Mary Sue O’Connor, a public health nurse with the Region of Durham. “There are often no early warning symptoms of breast cancer. This is why women should be screened for breast cancer even when they feel healthy and have no symptoms.” If breast cancer is found early through regular screening, 90 per cent of women fully recover after treatment. Breast cancer screening includes having regular mammograms. A mammogram is a safe, low dose X-ray of the breast. Women 50 and over should have a mammogram every two years. Mammograms are offered free for women 50 and older through the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP). The OBSP offers high-quality mammography services across Ontario.

So when smoke alarms sound, everyone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is essential. • Install one smoke alarm on every storey and outside bedrooms. Install inside bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. • Ensure all smoke alarms are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm. • If your home has any fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSA-approved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recommended. • Replace smoke alarms every 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether battery operated or hardwired into your home's electrical system. More home safety resources can be found on the www.safeathome.ca web site. www.newscanada.com Why does it seem like kids get one cold after another during cold season? Many youngsters haven't yet built up their immunity to the more than one hundred different strains of cold viruses that exist. For this reason, children can get as many as eight to 10 colds each year before they turn two years old. Some Canadian parents may remember when Health Canada required manufacturers to change the labels on over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines to state that they are no longer suitable for children under six. That change meant parents were limited in the choices they had to relieve the symptoms of their infant, toddler or young child. “As a parent, it is my responsibility to care for my children and ease their suffering” says Jasmin Fitch, mother to Vivienne, 3, and Emily, 8 months. “When cold season hits our home, it always stresses me out. I plug in the humidifier and try to make my little one as comfortable as possible, but sometimes it's not enough and I'm frustrated that I don't have a better answer.” According to Dr. Johanne Blais, MD MSc. (F), CCMF, this is a common dilemma. “Many parents feel at a loss when their child is sick. They are well intentioned Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE “Fall back” to smart home safety Parents say it is difficult to nurse kids through a cold and want to do everything they can to ease their child's suffering. It's hard for them to watch their child struggle with the symptoms as the cold runs its course.” The recent introduction of Helixia Cough, a naturally- sourced cough remedy, is seen as a welcome development. “I think parents will absolutely appreciate another option to help the whole family get through those inevitable coughs and colds,” says Dr. Blais. Clinical studies suggest this new product is an effective cough remedy. It is made from dried ivy leaf extract, which has been used for more than 20 years to safely alleviate cold symptoms. Helixia has a non-drowsy formula, tastes like honey and is free of sucrose, gluten, dyes and alcohol. It is available in most pharmacies in Canada. “A cough medicine that is safe for kids under six? Canadian parents will be letting out a big sigh of relief,” says Jasmin with a chuckle. www.newscanada.com Reusable goods to be collected one Saturday a month Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Four local chari- ties will benefit from a new pilot program that will give new life to old stuff. This fall, the Region of Dur- ham plans to launch Reuse Days in partnership with Hab- itat for Humanity Durham, Goodwill, the Canadian Diabe- tes Association and the Salva- tion Army. One Saturday a month, local residents will be able to drop off reusable items at one of the Region’s waste facilities at no charge. “We want quality reusable items,” says Craig Bartlett, the Region’s manager of waste operations. “This is not an opportuni- ty for people to get rid of their garbage, this is to give items a second life.” Examples include working appliances, sports equipment, toys, clothes and construction items such as windows, doors and drywall. The goal is to make it easier for people to donate. Instead of taking used cloth- ing to one drop-off location and construction items to another, everything can go to one spot, then be disbursed among the charities. “This is a wonderful example of how the Region is being inno- vative in finding ways to reduce landfill and meet its 70-per cent (waste diversion) target,” says Mary Bone, executive director at Habitat for Humanity Dur- ham. She says construction items collected through Reuse Days will help stock Habitat’s ReStore locations in Oshawa and Ajax. The stores have recently been struggling with people leaving donations outside overnight that either don’t meet their cri- teria or get ruined by rain. “It’s increasing our garbage fees like crazy,” Ms. Bone says. She hopes Reuse Days will help by giving the public anoth- er easy option for dropping off donations. If regional council gives the green light, the Reuse Days pilot project will run for one year. “This is taking waste man- agement back to a grassroots level and reducing the amount of garbage we have in the first place,” Mr. Bartlett said.

Author, TV host to address Durham parents DURHAM -- Parents with chil- dren in the Durham District School Board can attend a con- ference on raising safe, self- reliant kids in October. The board will host its 21st annual Parents as Partners con- ference on Oct. 27 with journal- ist, author and TV host Lenore Skenazy as the keynote speak- er. Ms. Skenazy, who authors a blog, freerangekids.com, will offer real-life anecdotes and success stories to leave parents and caregivers “buoyant and less burdened” about parent- ing choices. Ms. Skenazy describes her philosophy as a “common sense approach to parenting in these over-protective times,” according to a school board press release. Her address will be followed by workshops on a number of topics, including: having fun, playing safely and raising resil- ient youth. The conference takes place from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at Donald A. Wilson Secondary School, 681 Rossland Rd. W., Whitby, in the cafetorium. Registra- tion starts at 8:30 a.m., and it’s $20 per adult or $30 per family, including two adults. The fee includes day care for children aged three to 10. Children 11 and older may attend if accom- panied by an adult.

The Durham Region health department is inviting local res- idents to take part in the MOVE Yourself to Better Health con- test by setting a physical activi- ty goal and tracking their activi- ties for two weeks between Oct. 1 and Dec. 2. The Canadian Physical Activ- ity Guidelines say children and youth need at least one hour of moderate activity each day, while adults need at least two and a half hours per week. This should include activities that make your heart beat faster and cause you to sweat a little. Examples include walking or cycling to school or work, tak- ing the stairs instead of the elevator, going for a walk dur- ing a break or lunch, replacing screen time with active time and enjoying local parks and trails. To take part in the contest residents can complete a track- ing form and submit it to the health department by mail, fax or online. Prizes include memberships to local rec centres, golf pass- es and Oshawa Generals family passes.

The Children’s Wish Founda- tion of Canada, in association with Pfaff Auto Group Inc. and Cana- dian Tire Motorsport Park, was hosted by Doncaster Racing at a private event Saturday in support of Children’s Wish and the chil- dren and families the organiza- tion serves. Children’s Wish Ride- Along celebrated its 20th year. Members of the racing communi- ty joined together to provide a rare opportunity for children to expe- rience the thrill of riding around Mosport. Each year, thousands of Cana- dian children between the ages of three and 17 are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The Chil- dren’s Wish Foundation of Can- ada has granted wishes to 18,000 children and their families since 1984. Local motorsport enthusiasts Jeff Pabst and Dave Lacey have organized Children’s Wish Ride- Along since its inaugural year. “It was really a combination of two of our passions. We were com- petitors on the race track and we were involved with the Children’s Wish Foundation...we engaged the motorsport community to come out and really help us to cre- ate a fun day for the families, the kids and Children’s Wish. It’s been a great success,” said Mr. Lacey. “It’s really a day off. On a sunny glorious day, they get to come out to the race track with their broth- ers, sisters, friends, mom and dad and grab a ride in a really cool race car or exotic car. It’s a day to for- get about the hospital stuff and be a kid again,” he said. There were a string of vehicles to choose from including Vipers, Ferraris, Corvettes, Audi R8s, both modified and rally models. There was even a Durham Regional police cruiser racing around the track with its siren blaring. There were also familiar faces including Canadian race drivers Rick Bye and Robin Buck. Organizer Jeff Pabst is also a longtime competitor and Dave Lacey competed for 15 years in the Rolex Sports Car Series. The reaction from the racing com- munity has been terrific over the years. Drivers are not only writing cheques but have donated their time, cars and fuel. “What we ask from the partici- pants is that they actually write a cheque that is commensurate with the horsepower of their car. So if you get a rich guy who brings out a 500-horsepower Ferrari, we expect that guy to be writing a $500 cheque. Everybody writes that and does more,” said Mr. Lacey. Seven-year-old Pickering resi- dent Isabelle Platnar is a cardiac patient at Sick Kids Hospital and suffers from pulmonary hyper- tension. It involves an increase in pressure within the pulmonary arteries, which are responsible for the flow of blood from a per- son’s heart to their lungs in order to deliver oxygen. She is required to carry an oxygen tank with her at all times. The Platnar family joined Children’s Wish Founda- tion a year ago July when Isabelle was granted her wish of a grand piano. “She follows Nascar, IndyCar Racing and Formula One. I think it’s probably her father’s influ- ence,” said her mom, Sarah Plat- nar. “She’s excited to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Isabelle’s first ride was in a bright yellow Porsche. “We all asked her if she wanted one of us to go with her but no, she had it. She was just unbelievably thrilled,” said Mrs. Platnar. Isabelle had the lucky opportuni- ty of riding in a Porsche, a Mustang and a BMW. “I was kind of nervous,” said Isa- belle. “I got to go in a car and it’s a good experience,” she said. “As a parent you can’t ask for any- thing else. It’s just a wonderful feel- ing to see your child happy and hav- ing a special day like this,” said Mrs. Platnar. It was Isabelle’s first time out on the track. “My favourite part about today is really getting a child in a car for their first time at the race track, going at speed. Just to see their reaction and their faces light up. That to me is just amazing,” said Mr. Lacey.

From Page 1 The idea behind the clin- ics, explained Dr. Rakesh Bhargava, a cardiologist and Heart Care director, is to offer a vital service to patients closer to home, negating the need for them to travel to Toronto, where most had their surgeries, for bi-annual check-ups. After a year of planning, the clinic was started in February with a focus on those who have ICDs -- essentially pacemakers with a built-in defibrilla- tor. Those with ICDs are patients who generally have end-stage heart fail- ure (cardiomyopathy) and are at extremely high risk of sudden cardiac death because of ventricular fibrillation. Each six-month check- up, which lasts about an hour on average, saw car- diac electrophysiologists from St. Michael’s Hospi- tal in Toronto review the ICD settings and re-pro- gram the device if neces- sary, said Dr. Bhargava. “You don’t get a second chance,” he said. “If the device malfunctions, you drop dead.” However, in an effort to cuts costs in its battle to eliminate Ontario’s bulg- ing deficit, the Province announced sweeping funding cuts this past sum- mer, including “drastic” fee reductions which have made the clinic unsustain- able and prompted its clo- sure, said Dr. Bhargava. The final Heart Care ICDs clinic was offered on Sept. 28, less than a year after it began. Durham MPP John O’Toole says he has spo- ken with Dr. Bhargava about the closure and plans to bring the issue up during a future question period at Queen’s Park. “It came as a bit of a sur- prise to me... I think it’s a bad decision,” said Mr. O’Toole. He has also encouraged Christine Elliott, the Tory health critic and Whitby- Oshawa MPP, to review the issue. The Province should “think of the vulnerability of high-risk patients” and “go out of their way” to keep treatment as close to home as possible, added the Durham MPP. Both Mr. O’Toole and Ms. Elliott were invited to the final ICDs clinic but did not attend. Heart Care, which offers personalized cardiac care from prevention and treat- ment to rehabilitation and research, will continue to operate. “There was no advantage to the physicians, there was no benefit to them. But it was a tremendous benefit for the patients,” said Dr. Bhargava of the initiative, which saw doc- tors travel to Oshawa to see their patients. “The closure is an incon- venience to the commu- nity, the patients and their families.” The government cut- backs, he continued, “forced (the physicians) to make a very painful deci- sion.” Health care these days, added Dr. Bhargava, “is based on dollars and cents, rather than com- passion. You do not have to cut back everything... do not cut services which do not exist in a commu- nity.” The ICDs clinics saw about 150 patients in total, an average of 20 to 25 each month, and was geared towards cardiac patients from Durham Region and as far east as the Cobourg area. But now, those patients, some of whom have great difficulty just getting in and out of their vehicle, must make the trek to larg- er urban hospitals, said Dr. Bhargava. “They will still be get- ting the best care possible, unfortunately they’ll have to travel back into Toron- to,” he said. Dr. Bhargava is hope- ful that Lakeridge Health Corporation will consider opening a similar clinic at its Oshawa hospital site. The program, he stressed, was very well received and the participating physi- cians would be happy to restart the clinic. “It was a no-brainer. The patients wanted the clin- ic closer to home and the physicians were willing to do it,” said Dr. Bhargava. “We just started it rolling in February and now we have to close it down.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 15 P L EATHERS T O G O ® E XPRESS N EXT D AY L OC AL D EL IVER Y THE CHESTERFIELD SHOP TORONTO’S BEST Pickupourlatest 4 pageflyerinselected copiesof today’s paper,at any ofour 5 great locationsorseeit at:PAYNOTAX PAYNOTAX www.thechester fieldshop.com Short-lived clinic lasted less than a year du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP Kristen Calis • kcalis@durhamregion.com • Facebook @NewsDurhamKristensKritters • Blog @durhamregion.com Editorial OpinionsKristen’s Kritters Adopt A Pet WHITBY -- Iggy Pop, a young iguana found out- side in the cold weather and nearly died.

Thanksgiving usually involves a holiday feast, but becautious of what you offer your pet. Never give your petsraw meats, bones, or fat, as these can pose health risks andcause stomach upset & obstruction. If you are going to offeryour pets a treat, only offer very small amounts, & don’t letthem over indulge. Sage can cause neurological side effectsif ingested in large amounts. Ensure that desserts are keptout of reach. Never let your pet eat baking dough, as this canexpand in their stomach and lead to pain and bloating whichcan be life threatening. Lastly, several friends& family in the home can be stressful forboth cats and dogs. Always ensure thatthey have a safe place to go to in the home.For more information visit: Ask the Vet: Thanksgiving Safety tips:Written by Dr. Melanie Dell http://www.aspca.org T here’s been a sapsucker hanging out in the woods behind the house this week. Often when I’m out in the garden, digging carrots or harvesting greens, I hear its nasal whining “meow” -- a call familiar from the sugar bush in spring, when they’re busily drilling holes in maples to drink the sweet sap, and feast on insects drawn to it. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers arrive back just when the buds are beginning to swell, and make quite a racket squabbling over nesting terri- tory, with a variety of “wik-a-wik-a” calls and persistent drumming on hollow branches. The hatchlings are noisy as well, constantly calling for food from the cavity nest their parents carved in the heartwood of a poplar, or a dead maple limb. The only sap specialists among the woodpecker clan, sapsuck- ers are one of the few woodpeckers to migrate, flooding into Canada to take advantage of our great deciduous forests. But when their fledglings have been raised, they grow so quiet you hardly know they’re around, and might not notice them passing through local woodlots and treed neighbourhoods on their way south again. Their barred, brownish plumage is easily overlooked against a tree trunk. One or two might linger in southern Ontario into winter, eating berries and apples, as well as pecking at the bark of trees for spiders and insects hiding there, but most head down to the south- ern States. Northern flickers are another woodpecker species that clears out of Ontario come fall. Ants are their favourite food, and these beautifully barred, golden-hued birds are often seen on lawns, their white rump patch a highly visible field mark as they fly away. When cold weather sets in and ants retire underground, most flickers do their own disappear- ing act. We used to have red-headed woodpeckers migrating to Durham Region each spring. Sadly, decades of harassment by European starlings, which take over the nesting cavities they excavate, has decimated local populations of these dramatically coloured red-black-and-white birds. Fortunately, our woods aren’t empty of woodpeckers in winter. Four hardy species find enough to eat throughout the coldest months, and don’t migrate. Pileated woodpeckers, crow-sized, dig deep into tree trunks with their chisel-like bills, licking up carpenter ants and wood- boring beetle larvae. Both hairy and the slightly smaller downy wood- peckers work away at the bark on trunks and branches, hunting for insect eggs and pupae, but readily come to bird feeders for sunflower seeds and suet. A local pair will provide hours of entertainment, hanging on a suet ball, pecking away. Red-bellied woodpeckers have been expanding their range northward into Durham in recent years, lured by the availability of suet and other feeder fare. They happen to love oranges, to the displeasure of Florida cit- rus growers, and the delight of Ontario feeder watchers who put fruit out for them.

You should take a number of things into account -- if you can afford it, wheth- er you’re ready for the commitment -- but for this week’s Kritters, I thought I’d focus on personality. Here are some of the breeds of dogs that will best suit your lifestyle. I’m a big fan of going to a shel- ter to find your dog, so even if it’s a mutt, most of the time you can learn its roots too. According to Animal Planet, border collies, Doberman pinschers, German shepherds, golden and Labrador retriev- ers, and Shetland sheepdogs are some of the dog breeds that are the easiest to train. If you’re looking for an energetic dog, you may want an Australian shepherd, border collie, Dalmatian, English spring- er spaniel, miniature pinscher, or a Sibe- rian husky. If a more laid-back dog is your style, Animal Planet suggests a bulldog, a bull- mastiff, a French bulldog, a pug or a shih tzu. How about a lap dog? Chihuahuas, daschunds, miniature schnauzers, pomeranians, pugs and Yorkshire terri- ers are breeds that tend to enjoy a good dose of cuddle time. Dogs that are supposedly better on people with allergies include a bichon frise, a Yorkshire terrier, a standard poo- dle and a miniature schnauzer. The most popular family dogs include beagles, Bernese mountain dogs, boxers, collies, golden and Labrador retrievers, great Danes, Newfoundlands, miniature poodles and pugs. I just chose some breeds from each category on the Animal Planet website, so go online to check out even more dogs that fit certain lifestyles. A number of websites have special sections that match people with a cer- tain type of dog. For example, visit ani- mal.discovery.com/breed-selector/ dog-breeds.html or pedigree.com/All- Things-Dog/Select-A-Dog/Default.aspx to take a quiz or learn information on certain dog breeds. Remember these are just guidelines, and pets are unique in their own spe- cial ways. So take these suggestions into account, but make sure to adopt a dog that you and your family will love for life.

ICCAD opened the Career and Commu- nity Link Centre at Durham College this fall to assist with the delivery of services to newly arrived international students as they transition into Canada. On Sept. 21, dignitaries, college staff and students celebrated the new centre with speeches and food. Durham College president Don Lovisa said when students are new to Canada, they need a connection into the culture and the post-secondary education system. He noted more and more international students are attending Durham College for their post-secondary studies each year, and said this year more than 300 interna- tional students are studying there. “Four years ago we had 35, many of those students coming from India,” he said. The centre will offer a wide range of career support services designed to provide stu- dents new to Canada with cultural under- standing and comfort factors that will help them in their career path, explained Shashi Bhatia, ICCAD president. It will also provide practical informa- tion such as relevant work conditions and access to job postings in the community, and will be a liaison between Durham Col- lege and businesses. “The centre will distinguish Durham Col- lege as a preferred destination for interna- tional students by providing a range of stu- dent services that will enhance the student experience and contribute to the college’s reputation of delivering a unique and valu- able educational experience,” said Ms. Bhatia. Second-year international business man- agement student Yash Sharma, also from India, explained that the new centre coin- cides with Durham College’s vision which includes promoting integrity, respect, equal access and diversity. Region of Durham Chairman Roger Anderson congratulated the ICCAD for expanding its community presence, and Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan was pleased to celebrate more great work by the Picker- ing-based ICCAD. “We’re very pleased to be able to support them,” he said. Pickering now has a direct connection with Durham College since the Pickering Learning Site, a new centre formed in partnership with Centennial College, was launched this fall in the municipality. “We see a good future going forward,” he said. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP Durham College opens cultural centre> What does the poppy means to you?

SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com One 2 Watch Pickering Skating Club’s Natasha Calizon off to terrific start PICKERING -- Natasha Calizon is a senior skater with the Pickering Skating Club and is part of the competitive stream who has excelled in all disciplines of skating She has surpassed the Premiers Triple Gold Award achieving gold standards in four disciplines: skills, dance, interpretive, and freeskate. She competes in the novice category and helps out in all areas. She is a program assistant, junior dance leader, off- ice trainer and assists in the music room. She is a role model to all of the skaters. Calizon spent a great deal of time last season working on her double axel and was looking forward to placing it in her programs for this season. A double axel is a difficult jump that many people never accomplish. It is a jump that consists of two-and-a-half rotations which is an extra half rotation from other double jumps, and takes off forward. In order to complete this jump skaters must have precise take off and quick accel- eration into the jump. They must keep everything tight in the air and open up at the right time to land the jump. She recently competed in her first com- petition of the season at the Figure Skating Boutique Summer Skate. She was sitting in fourth place after the short program. Her long program contained her double axel which helped move her up to second place. Calizon will be representing Pickering Skating Club at Sectionals from Nov. 1-4. The Speed Academy coach looking forward to working with national program JOSEPH HALL newsdurhamregion.com PICKERING -- It was April 3, 1989, when sprinter Tony Sharpe climbed briskly onto the stand in a Bay St. hearing room and swore to tell the truth. And he did. He told a federal commission looking into the use of drugs and banned sub- stances in sports -- the Dubin Inquiry -- that he’d helped his disgraced team- mate Ben Johnson smuggle steroids into a Guadeloupe training camp five years earlier. He testified that Johnson -- who had been stripped of his 100-metre Olympic gold medal the previous September after testing positive for the muscle building drugs -- had been a fellow long-term ste- roid user. And he stated that there was little any- one could do to stop elite athletes from using banned substances in the future. “Their chance of getting caught is there and that’s not enough, so I guess the glory is too sweet and the dollars are too much,” said Sharpe, a former 100- and 200-metre Canadian champion. “I don’t know what you could tell them (athletes) that would, you know, sway them away from it.” Today, six summer Olympiads removed from the post-Seoul shambles, Sharpe says you don’t have to tell them anything at all. “I don’t think that culture exists today in track and field,” says the now coach, who recently had his lifetime ban from federal sports funding lifted by an arbi- trator. “It’s gone, in my opinion anyways. I just sense that the whole enhancement thing is gone. People are just working harder and smarter.” Toronto mediator Larry Banack con- cluded July 30 that Sharpe had met vir- tually all the redemption criteria Mr. Jus- tice Charles Dubin had set out in his 1990 report that would allow banned athletes to have their federal funding strictures removed. The decision could allow Sharpe -- as his similarly reinstated former teammate Desai Williams has successfully done -- to coach at the national team and Olym- pic levels. Sharpe now coaches young track ath- letes at Pickering’s Speed Academy Ath- letics Club, which he helped found in 2006. Sharpe doesn’t want to speak of his long-time steroid use, which began in 1980 and only ended when injuries derailed his career in 1987. “I’m not here to talk about 1989. I’ve been reinstated and I want to really move forward in terms of the whole dis- cussion around this story,” he says. And as far as track and field goes, Sharpe says there’s no longer any steroid issue to talk about. “I know we have cases that pop up here and there,” he says. “But across the board (there’s) absolutely no doubt in my mind, based on the education level that’s gone on since then, and even the nature of the testing, it’s almost suicid- al to think you’re going to get away with something.” He says much of the drug race in track during the 1980s was an attempt to keep up with Eastern Bloc athletes, who were setting preposterous records in many events. But current policing in track today is so thorough that no one would chance that drug course, Sharpe says. “Who else has a test where they knock on your door, 24 hours a day anytime they want?” the father of three says. Sharpe hopes his reinstatement will open opportunities to coach nationally ranked athletes on a global stage. “Because I’ve developed an incredible number of high calibre sprinters through the youth and junior age group, it’s my goal to be able to coach some of these guys at the national level now,” he says.

Wilson Secondary School has established itself as the team to beat once again in the LOSSA Tier 1 senior football league. The defending LOSSA and Metro Bowl champs won the bat- tle of the undefeated last week in Whitby, downing Oshawa’s Paul Dwyer Saints 26-7 to improve to 3-0 on the season. Following is a recap of that and other games played last week. Tier 1 Senior Holy Trinity (1-2) 18, Pickering (0-3) 0 Holden Bennett’s 21-yard first quarter touchdown reception paced the Holy Trinity Titans to their first win of the season over the winless Trojans. Bran- don Joachim added a major in the final minute on a 10-yard run and the sure-footed Joe Mas- tromarco nailed a 19-yard field goal. Holy Trinity: Holden Ben- nett TD; Brandon Joachim TD; Joe Mastromarco FG, 2C; Jon Codrington S. Tier 2 Senior St. Mary (1-0) 34, J. Clarke Richardson (0-2) 0 The Monarchs appear to be enjoying Tier 2 as touchdowns by Nathaniel Fermin, Raishaun Provo, with two, and Josh Henry were book-ended by field goals of 31 and 19 yards by Tyler Decar- los. The win was the first for St. Mary since the 2010 season, hav- ing played the past two seasons in Tier 1. St. Mary: Raishaun Provo 2TD; Tyler DeCarios 2FG, 4C; Nathan- iel Fermin TD; Josh Henry TD. Ajax (2-0) 45, Notre Dame (1-1) 0 Paced by a two touchdown effort by Nasaire Wallace, the Rams continued their early sea- son domination with a 45-0 vic- tory over the previously unde- feated Cougars. Ajax has out- scored their opposition 96-0 through their first two games. Ajax: Nasaire Wallace 2TD; Bradley Benedetto TD; Jake Van Pelt TD; Triston Smith TD; Mar- cus Brissett TD; Brad Till 2ptC, 4C; Riley Steenson SFT; Jon Rampersad S. Tier One Junior Pickering (3-0) 1, Holy Trinity (2-1) 0 A 29-yard punt by Tarrick Bris- sett in the final quarter proved to be the only scoring in a mis- take-filled tightly defensive con- test. Brissett’s punt traveled 10 yards deep into the end zone. A valiant effort by Tyler McGregor to return the ball out of the end zone was stopped mere inches short of the goal line by Kyeree Reynolds. Tier Two Junior J. Clarke (3-0) 47, Bowmanville (1-2) 22 The Storm recorded their third consecutive win as they defeated the Talons 47-22. Tevin Lawrence led the Richardson scoring with a 20-point game, including three touchdowns, while J’Van Man- hertz scored twice. Nick Hogg led the Talons in scoring with a two touchdown effort. Richardson: Tevin Lawrence 3TD, 2ptC; J’Van Manhertz 2TD; George Goudogianis TD, 3C; Cody Wong TD Bowmanville: Nick Hogg 2TD; Cole Burton TD; Matthew McCrone 2ptC; Nathan Mayne 2ptC. St. Stephen (1-1) 14, Ajax (1-1) 13 A two interception effort by Tyler McNicholl enabled the Royals to prevail 14-13. Evan Reece also scored a touchdown for the victors while Omon Edo- bar scored both Ajax majors. St. Stephen: Evan Reece TD; Tyler McNicholl TD; Jacob O’Malley 2ptC; Ajax: Omon Edobar 2TD; Jacob Harrison C. J. Clarke (2-0) 13, St. Stephen (0-1) 0 Two first half touchdowns by George Goudogianis and James Yoshida powered the Storm to their second consecutive win to open the season thereby spoiling the Royals 2012 season debut in Bowmanville. Richardson: George Goudo- gianis TD, C; James Yoshida TD. Jason Liebregts / MetroLand PICKERING -- St. Mary’s Nathaniel Fermin carried the ball in senior boys’ Tier II football action against J.

Pickering hockey association benefits from donation Six programs receive new goalie equipment DURHAM -- Christmas has come early for some local hockey orga- nizations. The Insurance Brokers Associa- tion of Ontario and the Ontario Minor Hockey Association have selected 40 minor hockey associa- tion to receive a set of brand new goalie equipment as part of the OMHA IBAO Goalie Assist Pro- gram. A total of 114 applications were accepted. The program is an effort to sup- port children who have dreams of becoming goaltenders, by pro- viding a set of hockey goaltending equipment to players aged five to seven who are interested in trying the position. In addition, IBAO will provide minor hockey associations with goaltending resources to aid coaches. The local minor hockey asso- ciations to benefit are Claring- ton Recreational Hockey League, Orono Minor Hockey Associa- tion, Oshawa NASC Minor Hock- ey Association, Pickering Minor Hockey Association, Port Perry Minor Hockey Association and the Uxbridge Minor Hockey Associa- tion. “IBAO continues to support this great provincial group focused on building and growing the skills of youth in our communities,” stated IBAO CEO, Randy Carroll. “Brokers are committed to the people and programs in their communities. This type of sponsorship direct- ly relates to that commitment by encouraging youth to be active.” “We are thankful for the con- tinued support of the Insurance Brokers of Ontario,” stated OMHA president Joyce Junker. “Becoming a goaltender requires a significant initial investment. This program will help afford children a better opportunity to get a chance to try the position.” > du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 23 APAjax FC U13 win Mississauga tournament Post 5-0 victory over Scarborough in final AJAX -- The Ajax FC boys U13 all-stars won their second tour- nament of the season, emerging victorious in Mississauga.

That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be inno- vative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replac- ing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely neces- sary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.
