SABRINA BYRNES / METROLANDDurham revisits red-light cameras Cost of cameras has gone down as fines have gone up JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Region of Durham is once again weigh- ing the pros and cons of red-light cameras. A consulting firm was recently hired to do a cost/benefit analysis after Pickering Councillor Bill McLean and Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan asked for updated data. Coun. McLean says the idea was raised back in 2004, but shot down due to a low level of red-light violations and the hefty cost of the cameras. At that time, the cameras cost about $110,000 each plus $90,000 per year to operate. “It’s a lot more cost efficient now,” he says. “But it’s really about safety ... when people know the cameras are there they may change their driving habits.” Today, cameras can be leased for $2,600 per month each, which includes maintenance. There is also an initial setup cost of $50,000 per camera. More revenue is also available after a 2010 decision by the Province to increase the fine for red-light running from $180 to $325. After a $5 service fee and $60 surcharge are deducted, municipalities get $260.

Court also heard Tuesday that one of two defendants in the double murder gave a chilling blow-by-blow account of the killings the day after the victims were dumped in rural Pickering. Vijay Singh confided he briefly considered sparing the lives of the victims, but carried on with the killings to show a west coast gang boss he meant business, Crown witness Michael Lopez testified. “He thought for a second maybe he should let them go,” said Mr. Lopez, who has testified he was a long- time criminal associate of Mr. Singh’s. “(But) he said he put the gun under the person’s chin and then he fired.” Mr. Singh and co-accused John Le have pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murders of Harjinder Singh Sandhu and Puneet Singh Chhina, whose bodies were discovered in May 2009 in the trunk of a car left on Rosebank Road in rural Pickering. Both men had been bound with duct tape and shot in the head. It is the Crown’s theory that Mr. Sandhu was target- ed because he was suspected of stealing a 35-kg ship- ment of cocaine brokered by Mr. Singh. The drugs belonged to a leader of the notorious United Nations gang, Mr. Lopez said. He told court that on May 4, 2009, Mr. Singh told him he had lured the suspected “jack- er” to his Agincourt Drive house with an offer of cheap cocaine. But the plan was to confront the man about the drug rip-off, Mr. Lopez said. He said he expected the plan was to “torture or beat up the jacker.” Mr. Lopez testified he was peering through a base- ment window when two men arrived and were quickly set upon by Mr. Singh, who was armed with a handgun. He said he watched as Mr. Le guided one of the bleed- ing men, who was bound heavily with duct tape, and put him in the trunk of the car the men had arrived in. Mr. Lopez said that after the men left, he tried to clean up the bloody kitchen, gathering up evidence includ- ing cell phones, keys and soiled towels and discarding them in dumpsters. The next day Mr. Singh described how the men had been ambushed, beaten and drugged before being loaded into their car and driven to rural Pickering. Mr. Le followed in a Cadillac Escalade, court heard. Mr. Singh described opening the trunk, placing the muzzle of his handgun under one man’s chin, and firing, he said. “He said the electricity just shot out of (the victim’s) body. He jolted and he was gone,” Mr. Lopez said. “Then he said he put the gun by the head of the next person. He said he shot the gun.” The bodies of Mr. Sandhu and Mr. Chhina were discovered the next day by Durham police investigating a suspicious vehicle. Mr. Sandhu had been shot under the chin, Mr. Chhina in the fore- head. A handgun was left in the trunk, court has heard. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bryan Sahughnessy and a jury, continues in Oshawa. 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 0 , 2 0 1 3 3 APPolice seize $5.4 million worth of pot as part of Project Mosquito Fifty-six people facing 176 charges DURHAM -- Durham police have seized $5.4 million worth of marijuana and made dozens of arrests after wrapping up a grow-op investigation dubbed Proj- ect Mosquito. In August and Sep- tember, police con- ducted multiple inves- tigations into illegal marijuana produc- tion. The proj- ect stemmed from communi- ty complaints in urban and rural areas. More than 4,100 marijuana plants and 100 pounds of dried mar-ijuana were seized, as well as hashish and other illegal substances. Police also confiscated four firearms and several illegal firearm parts such as silencers and over-capacity magazines. Two vehicles and $44,655 in cash were seized as offence-related property. In total, 56 people are facing 176 charg- es. Anyone with any new information is asked to call police at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5802 or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers. ca.

A report from the Region says Toronto’s experience suggests about 180 convictions per cam- era, per year are needed to recov- er the costs of the program. Amanda Spencer, a traffic engineer project manager with the Region, says the first step is to determine whether Durham even has a problem with red- light violations. The consultants will pore over five years of collision data, look- ing specifically at right-angle collisions and trying to deter- mine if they were caused by run- ning a red light, or some other factor. Even if drivers are running red lights, cameras aren’t the auto- matic answer. “A better remedial measure could be to adjust the signal tim- ing or add a right turn lane,” Ms. Spencer says. “A red-light cam- era is one tool we would con- sider after some of those other remedial measures have already been looked at. It’s not the end all and be all.” A provincial pilot proj- ect showed red-light cameras reduced right-angle collisions by 25 per cent, but also caused an increase in rear-end colli- sions -- drivers panic and slam on the brakes to avoid running a light. There are currently seven regional municipalities par- ticipating in the red-light cam- era program, including Halton Region with 77 cameras and the City of Toronto with 194.

The consultant study comes with an ini- tial price tag of $48,783.

A recent Alzheimer Society Durham semi- nar in Pickering about wandering seniors did just that, with a Durham Regional Police officer in attendance to offer tips. Many of us have a story about a wander- ing senior. Recently in Ajax, a 93-year-old man who couldn’t speak English well went for a walk at 2:30 a.m. Durham police offi- cers found him but, given the language bar- rier, had a tough time learning where the man belonged. They looked around the neighbourhood and eventually took him to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospi- tal, where a staff member recognized him. This story had a happy ending, but if an Alzheimer’s sufferer wanders into a river valley or other greenspace, the job of find- ing the person is much more difficult. And the dangers a person could encounter are significant. That’s why it’s crucial, for care- givers, the general public and law enforce- ment alike, to know everything they can to prevent seniors from wandering from home and possibly getting hurt and to make it easier for those who encounter a person to know what should be done. The seminar offered a slew of useful suggestions. Attendees learned that wandering is often a coping mechanism so a person should be able to wander, but in a safe environment, a fenced backyard, for example, to relive feelings of anxiety or restlessness. A bell or door alarm is an excellent safety precaution, alerting family members when a door is opened, especially important in evenings. It’s also a good idea to alert friends, neigh- bours and others about the possibility of a wandering senior so they can call you if the person seems disoriented. But perhaps the most valuable and use- ful idea is registering the person with Med- icAlert Safely. A national program, it pro- vides members with an engraved bracelet that tells police or emergency responders about their needs, connecting them to an emergency hotline where important per- sonal information is stored. There was a time when Alzheimer’s dis- ease was somehow seen as a failing. Fortu- nately, times have changed. Alzheimer’s is now recognized as a disease, not a deficien- cy. Talking about it, learning what can be done for the person, both to make life eas- ier and more enjoyable and to ensure their safety, is vitally important. Learn more at www.alzheimer.ca. Spend my taxes on transit here in Durham To the editor: It certainly is generous of the idiots in Ottawa and the idiots in Queen’s Park to give my tax money to the idiots in Toronto to fuel their subway fantasies. For more than 24 years when I was work- ing and living in Toronto, I was subjected to the bad management and poor service of both GO Transit and the TTC. Now that I am retired and living in Brooklin, it appears that I am still required to finance their follies. If my house were located in Toronto, I believe that I would likely pay half the property tax that I pay in Brooklin. My taxes should be used to upgrade transit and infrastructure in Durham Region. If the good burghers of Toronto want subways, they ought to pay for them with Toronto taxes. Gary Rogers Brooklin Please a more considerate motorist To the editor: Drivers are constantly selfish and do not care about the law. Every day I see drivers who will not wait for a stop sign or red light. Why can’t driv- ers come to a complete stop? What is the hurry? No wonder there are numerous acci- dents or why we pay high insurance premi- ums. Stopping for five seconds is not going to hurt; respect others around you. Also, signal when you are turning or mak- ing lane changes and stop interfering with right-of-way drivers when merging into lanes. Elizabeth Davenport Uxbridge Durham trying to pass off costs To the editor: Re: ‘Oshawa and Region must negotiate $8.9 million transit bill’, news, durhamre- gion.com, Oct. 3, 2013. I find it difficult to understand Durham’s attempt to stick the taxpayers of Oshawa with the unfunded liabilities when they took over Oshawa Transit in 2006. No corporation would sell its assets and retain the liabilities as their own debt. When the Region assumed the transit sys- tem it would have been at net value, assets minus liabilities, in effect taking over all of the assets of the Oshawa Transit system and assuming all liabilities. If you had a $15,000 car with a $12,000 lia- bility on it, you would likely sell it for $3,000. For the buyer to expect you to pay off the $12,000 as well would be mind-boggling, even to a naive seller. I am appalled that both the City of Oshawa and the Region of Durham are incurring legal costs in this litigation, all payable by the citizens of Oshawa and Durham Region. David C.

Pickering councillors question duration of Finch construction Communication, signage also come under fire Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Councillors questioned the lack of dialogue on a sewage construction project that will see the westbound lanes of Finch Avenue closed for more than a year. Regional Councillor Bill McLean, who is also on the Regional works committee, said he found out about the project from a resident. “A few weeks ago I got a call from a resident saying they saw a sign and Finch was going to be closed for 14 months until December 2014, and I said ‘no, that’s impossible, that’s not going to happen.’ I was thinking I would have known about it being on Regional coun- cil and the works committee.” Coun. McLean called for better communi- cation from York Region on the overall south- east collector trunk sewer project, especially where it concerns a shutdown that was origi- nally supposed to be eight months. “To get a call from a resident that this was happening, without knowing about it from our staff, York Region or Durham Region staff upsets me to no end,” he said. “I’ve been very pleased with the response York has given me dealing with issues with this pipe, but less impressed with them when it comes to communication from them to our staff and Durham Region staff dealing with issues such as this, the surprise issues. I cer- tainly hope there’s not anymore surprises I have to hear about from another resident.” Other councillors expressed dismay at the extended construction period, noting the area may need better signage to keep driv- ers from heading westbound on Finch off Brock Road. Many of those drivers then end up detouring down Royal Road when they encounter the closure, rather than sticking to the official detour, which would have them continue down Brock to Kingston and take Kingston west to Liverpool Road. “Traffic is becoming an issue with people cutting through Royal Road and with people doing u-turns on Finch as well,” said Coun.

Staff members assured councillors they would speak with York Region about signage options and noted the delay was mostly due to York’s efforts to ensure construction work was done properly and to completion. “York Region was concerned about con- structability,” said Richard Holborn, direc- tor of engineering and public works for the City. “It’s better to give the bad news first, that construction has been extended, but they are hopeful they will have it done earlier.” In response to questions about economic impacts and compensation, Pickering CAO Tony Prevedel noted that while there was no specific compensation to the city for the delay, York Region had agreed to extend a contract clause that pays $125,000 to cover City staff costs into the future until the project is completed. “So there is a little bit of compensation com- ing our way,” Mr. Prevedel said.

DURHAM -- Despite dealing with death on a daily basis, the staff and volunteers of Dur- ham Hospice much prefer to focus on life. The organization provides palliative and bereavement counselling to individuals who are dying or dealing with the loss of a loved one through individual and group counsel- ling as well as home visits. “We’re helping people at their most vulner- able point,” said Linda Van Schyndel, manag- er of finance and administration at Hospice. “In a lot of ways hospice fills a void. A lot of people have difficulty talking about death and dying, we can help normalize that.” Many individuals may not have an outlet to talk about their fears when it comes to death and dying. “Our volunteers are there for them, we’re providing people with a relationship and friendship and giving them an opportunity to explore whatever’s still available to them while they’re still alive,” said Dawnette Hoo- Hing, interim executive director of the hos- pice. “We have people who want to do potlucks, wanting to share a meal with us, and that’s during a time when you think they would be the ones wanting to be served.” The organization boasts more than 200 volunteers dedicated to helping cli- ents. “Volunteers are the heart and soul of this agency,” Ms. Hoo-Hing said, noting they have volunteers for everything from one- on-one counselling to administration to fundraising, and all are vital. “I respect them so much as individuals, to see how much they give to clients and to this agency. It’s a hard ask that we’re asking them to do, but they really go above and beyond.” Volunteers are matched to clients based on shared similarities, often resulting in fast friendships. Ms. Hoo-Hing recalls one volun- teer who, upon hearing one of her palliative clients was going to be a grandmother, but that the baby wouldn’t arrive in time to meet her, went out and used her own money to buy several recordable story books so that the cli- ent could read to her grandchild after she was dead. “This is what volunteers get back, they feel it’s an honour to be with someone who’s dying, to listen to someone’s story,” said Ms. Hoo-Hing. For volunteer Kim Watson, who lost her own father and grandfather, channeling her own experiences into helping others is enough reward. “I can look at my journey and remember how hard it was,” she said, noting she had “very strong connections” with both of her loved ones. “All volunteers have been through a grief journey and are now in a better place in terms of dealing with that loss, so we’re more able to support others in their loss. It’s fulfill- ing for me, it’s a pleasure to bring people through difficult places.” The process is different for every- one. As Ms. Watson notes, some cli- ents want to talk about their grief, while others may need someone who will sit with them in silence, or listen to them vent their anger. “Grief looks different for everyone,” Ms. Watson notes. For Amanda Gir- oux, who sought out Durham Hospice after losing her grandfather in February, the sup- port has been invalu- able. “My grandfather raised me so he was like a father for me,” she said. “I want to get to a place where I can remem- ber him without pain and not feel so over- whelmed by his loss,” she said, noting she’s definitely seen progress in the nearly three months she’s been meeting with Ms. Watson. “I’m a nurturer, I take care of everyone else so it’s nice to have someone come here and take care of me for a little while,” she said. “It’s mostly an outlet, somewhere I could come and talk, but it’s become something more than that. Kim is very good at structur- ing things and holding hands through this, it’s like elastic bands in a ball, you’re peeling them away one by one. I feel loose, I feel light- er and I feel a calmness at the end of every session.” While Hospice staff is willing and eager to help, there are challenges to serving the Region’s growing, and aging, population. “Some people still don’t know what hos- pice is, they think it’s residential, that there’s a building people go to,” said Ms. Hoo-Hing, noting a study by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care found that Durham’s grow- ing population equaled a need for three res- idential hospices, although currently the region has none. “We’ve completed a feasibility study but haven’t had time to start looking at a poten- tial campaign,” she said of plans to create a residential hospice locally. “This is about not using up hospital beds, it’s about putting people where they’re most comfortable, and for some that may not be at home. A residential hospice is something we would like to see come to fruition.” Until then, volunteers and staff are dedi- cated to their mission to normalize death and dying, allowing people to feel more free in the face of mortality. “Our volunteers get it, they’re not afraid to say death or say someone died. There’s such a fear around death and dying but there doesn’t have to be,” Ms. Hoo-Hing said. “We want to normalize that and take away some of the stigma.” For more information, visit www.durham- hospice.com. Part 2 of this series will look at the experi- ence of palliative clients and volunteers in the Day Hospice program. WHITBY -- Durham Hospice bereavement support volunteer Kim Watson, left, chatted with client Amanda Giroux. The hospice offers support by providing a listening ear and safe place to talk for community members suffering a loss. ryan pfeiffer / MetrolanD WHITBY -- Dawnette Hoo Hing, the interim executive director of Durham Hospice. Sabrina byrneS / MetrolanD Hospice Care in Canada • Only 16 to 30 per cent of Canadians who die currently have access to or receive hospice palliative and end-of-life care services, depending on where they live in Canada. • Canadian families frequently shoulder 25 per cent of the total cost of palliative care due to costs associated with home- based services such as nursing and personal care services. • Canada ranked ninth in a 2010 inter- national ‘Quality of Death’ index com- missioned by Singapore-based The Lien Foundation. The index measured current hospice and palliative care envi- ronments across 40 countries in terms of the quality and availability of end-of- life care. • Seniors make up the fastest-growing age group in Canada. It is estimated that seniors could account for between 23 and 25 per cent of the total popula- tion by 2036, nearly double the 13.9 per cent they made up in 2009. • The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association estimates that each death in Canada affects the immediate well- being of an average of five other people, or more than 1.25 million Canadians each year. • Hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively, and provides support to fam- ily caregivers.

Trees and shrubs are in transformation, each clad in its own unique colours before autumn winds send leaves swirling. Cat- tails and grasses are golden; late-bloom- ing asters add bursts of royal purple in an ever-changing landscape. And the ber- ries! Nannyberries, wild grapes, multiflora rose; crabapples, bittersweet and moun- tain ash are everywhere right now, a feast for migrating thrushes. What a wonder- ful world we live in! There’s so much to be grateful for. My husband and I went for a walk in the Thickson’s Woods Nature Reserve the other day, hunting for seed pods of dog-strangling vine. Persistent volunteer efforts keep this one special wildlife area free of the alien invader that’s choking so many other precious wild spaces. As we stuffed our pockets with the slim, point- ed pods for disposal later, some already split open and releasing their fluffy-sailed seeds, we enjoyed the beauty around us -- the rich colours, smells and sounds of fall. The local flock of chickadees greeted us as we entered the meadow, and we heard the rattle of a migrating winter wren. On the far side, where a wall of nannyberry lines the top of the creek valley, we flushed white-throated sparrows as we walked along the trail, and one paused on a bare twig at eye level, giving us a good view of this haunting singer of cottage country. Next came some tiny kinglets, flitting into an apple tree and hopping about ner- vously -- several ruby-crowns, with their white wingbars and big dark eyes, and a few golden-crowns, much more ornate with black and white stripes on their face, and a yellow patch visible atop their head when they turn upside down on a branch. We heard robins in a stand of buckthorn, and I saw a catbird low in a red-osier dog- wood, staring out at me from between the leaves. As we worked our way on through the meadow, removing stray dog-strangling pods, I heard an eastern towhee give its rising, rasping call, and a moment later flushed it from the other side of the nan- nyberry I was working on, just five feet away. I got a good look at the white cor- ners of its long, fanned tail as it fluttered off in a panic. And at a bend in the trail, against a fence row of spruce, was the best bird of all, feeding on insects in full view: an orange- crowned warbler. Of all our gaudy, bril- liantly decorated wood-warblers, they’re the most drab, with just a pale yellow wash to their nondescript plumage, and the faintest grey streaking on their breast. But I hadn’t seen a single one in spring migration, so this windfall filled me with delight. And gratitude. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116. Durham outdoors writer Margaret Car- ney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far-flung corners of the planet. margaret Carney The Great Outdoors See a video of the Tinker on Facebook facebook.com/NewsDurhamKristensKritters A raccoon rescue in Durham It was around 6:30 p.m. recently when Toronto Wildlife Centre volunteer Chris McConnell received a call about a raccoon in distress. The Ajax resident learned from a friend that a young raccoon in Brooklin had got- ten his head stuck in a plastic peanut but- ter jar. Since this makes eating, drinking and breathing difficult, she knew she had to move fast. The raccoon had climbed around 30 feet into a tree and Chris was worried he might suffocate to death, as the jar was tight around his neck. When she called the head of rescue and release at TWC, Andrew Wight, he suggest- ed she sit quietly near the tree in the dark until either he arrived, or until the raccoon came down on his own. Sure enough, Chris heard the crinkling of the jar from above and watched the raccoon gingerly make his way down. The frightened animal nearly fell twice because he couldn’t see well or properly use his front legs, but he eventu- ally made his way to safety. With her rescue gear ready, Chris was able to secure him. When the raccoon was brought to TWC, a charity that rescues and rehabilitates wild- life, the jar was carefully removed from his head, and after a physical he was given the all clear. TWC kept the raccoon under observation for a few days and adminis- tered vaccines before releasing him back into the wild, near where he was found. “Little does he know how close he came to dying,” said Chris as the little raccoon sat in a carrier before being released. I was lucky enough to be invited to the event. I have a soft spot for raccoons -- they look like little bandits and, unfortunate- ly, they get a bad rap. But I think they’re just trying to survive in a world that’s been taken over by humans. “He’s looking like a race horse ready at the gate,” Chris said. Although he seemed to be itching for freedom, when Chris opened the carrier’s door, he sniffed around a bit and carefully took in his surroundings before running for the trees. There he hung around for about 10 minutes before he was gone. I hope he was reunited with his raccoon family. Chris has been a volunteer for TWC for several years, doing wildlife care, rescue and release. The species she’s helped in Durham, aside from raccoons, include skunks, geese, great blue herons, rabbits, turkey vultures, osprey and more. In fact, once the release of the raccoon was taken care of, she also set free a Virginia opos- sum and some orphaned baby bunnies at another location. They had also been reha- bilitated at TWC. She said, unfortunately, the peanut but- ter jar incident is not uncommon. Often, skunks, raccoons and other wildlife are brought into TWC with jars, collars from fast food drinks, fishing line, hooks or other waste preventing them from eating, drink- ing and sometimes making breathing diffi- cult. Chris said it’s great that caring citizens took the initiative to call around and find out how to help this raccoon, because he wouldn’t have survived long without the care he needed. And calling TWC was the right thing to do. Removing such items is not something the public should do on their own. It takes expert care and knowledge to do it proper- ly. So if you see an animal in distress, call TWC at 416-631-0662. The website also has plenty of information available, so visit torontowildlifecentre.com.

Dreams and Wishes Children’s Char- ity makes sure there are gifts under the tree for kids at Bethesda House in Bowmanville, Herizon House in Ajax and Denise House and Y’s WISH shelter, both located in Oshawa. The children fill out wish lists in the fall and take them to the charity’s annual Breakfast with Santa. Then it’s up to volunteers and commu- nity donors to make those wishes come true. In 2012, the Durham charity filled wish lists for about 120 children, with the average child receiving six individual gifts. “Last year every child got every item they asked for on their wish list,” says president and founder Denise Stahl. “One child even got a snowboard with a helmet, boots and everything he need- ed.” In addition to the Christmas program, Dreams and Wishes provides kids enter- ing a shelter with pajamas, toiletries, a book and stuffed animal. Local residents can help by adopting all or part of a Christmas wish list, making a financial donation or donating a new toy or gift card.

Councillors voted to approve a rec- ommendation that the City consider fur- ther funding of the eradication program, which saw a large quantity of weevils that target the invasive plant put into the bay in August. Council previously approved a grant of up to $30,000 during its 2013 bud- get deliberations, although organizers only ended up collecting $8,000 for the year due to a late start on eradication efforts. A new report recommends council consider further funding of $20,000 for 2014, $10,000 for 2015 and $750 for 2016, for a total of $60,750 over the entire four-year period. A final vote on the recommenda- tion will be held at the upcoming council meeting on Oct. 21. 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 0 , 2 0 1 3 14 AP Ever sm iled for 18 mon ths?

New Pickering development proposal raises concerns over Kingston Road traffic Access road will disrupt properties: residents Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A new commercial plaza planned for Kingston Road near Whites Road has area residents concerned about plans to funnel drivers through the back of the property, alongside residential proper- ties. Applicants for the planned development, which will include a Harvey’s restaurant with drive-thru, are applying for an Offi- cial Plan amendment to allow a one-storey plaza in an area where commercial build- ings are required to be a minimum of two functional storeys. While residents approve of the amend- ment, they are frustrated at plans to allow only a right-in, right-out driveway onto Kingston Road, with an access road along the back of the property that would run alongside their properties and allow driv- ers to exit onto Delta Boulevard in order to turn left onto Kingston. “The laneway at the back of the property is something no one wants there,” said Alex Seviaryn, whose property runs along the back of the proposed development. “It will just create traffic and noise and be no pro- tection to anyone.” Councillors urged staff to revisit efforts to have the adjoining development to the east consider an agreement that would allow for the sharing of their current entry driveway, eliminating another traffic impediment on Kingston Road and poten- tially eliminating the need for a laneway at the rear. Canadian skating legend surprises Ajax coach Kurt Browning pays Nancy Eastman a visit in new TV series Chris hall chall@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Standing on the ice in an Ajax rink, talking to her charges with the Ajax Rising Stars skating club, Nancy Eastman paid lit- tle attention to the man slowly skating circles around her. It wasn’t until the familiar figure circled a little closer that she recognized her long-time skating hero was standing next to her. “I finally clued in. He looked like Kurt Browning and then, ‘Oh my God, that is Kurt Browning’,” recalled Ms. Eastman of her Sep- tember 2012 encounter with the Canadian figure skating legend. “I just grabbed him and hugged him.” It wasn’t a chance meeting between Ms. Eastman, an Oshawa woman who has spent her Sundays since 1997 teaching intellectu- ally disabled children how to skate, and the four-time world champion figure skater. Instead, it was carefully scripted encoun- ter for an upcoming episode of the television show Walk The Walk. The six-part documen- tary series celebrates and honours the good work being done by everyday community heroes by surprising them with a visit from a superstar celebrity they have long admired from Canada’s Walk of Fame. Ms. Eastman was originally asked if she’d like to take part in a documentary about those who help others with disabilities and she agreed. When asked who her favourite skater is, she immediately said Kurt Browning. A short time later, he skated into her life. “I had no idea what was going on. It was the best day ever,” said Ms. Eastman. “It was like winning the lottery for me.” During his lengthy stay at the rink, Mr. Browning spent time skating with all the stu- dents and chatting with Ms. Eastman, who has coached three of her students to the world championship level. “He was just an incredible guy, so nice,” said Ms. Eastman. “If I wanted him to be there for four hours, he would have stayed. It was fun and an experience I’ll never forget. “Skating has always been my passion,” con- tinued the 30-year coaching veteran, “and I don’t expect any recognition for what I do. I do it because I love it.” Walk The Walk, featuring Ms. Eastman and Mr. Browning, will air on Saturday, Oct. 12, at 10:30 p.m. on Global.

On the other hand, it could cost them $760 million, says the Ontario Power Authority. The wide range of financial outcomes is contained in an analysis of the project filed by Ontario Power Generation with the Ontario Energy Board. The four reactors in the Pickering B sta- tion reach the end of their designed operat- ing lives from 2014 to 2016. Last year, they produced about 15 per cent of Ontario’s power. OPG wants to keep them operating until 2020 to cover anticipated supply shortfalls, and has been granted a five-year license extension -- with some conditions -- by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. The company estimates the work needed to keep the reactors working will cost $200.7 million. The power authority calculated the busi- ness case for the project by comparing the cost of power from a prolonged Pickering operation with the cost of obtaining the power from other sources. The verdict, according to the OPA: “On balance, the OPA’s assessment of system cost impacts suggests an expected cost advantage to Pickering continued opera- tions (in the order of $100 million).” But it warns that there are some huge vari- ables that could skew the number up or down. That includes the demand for power (which has tended over the years to be lower than most projections), the price of natural gas, the price of carbon emissions and the actual cost of both upgrading and operating Pickering for an extra five or more years. Depending on how those shake down, the OPA says the benefit could be as high as $1.3 billion. But if all the worst-case possibilities happen, the extra cost could be as much as $760 million. That’s a $2-billion swing between best- case and worst-case scenario. OPG calculates a single number for the project in its filings, rather than a range: It predicts a benefit of $520 million in extend- ing the life of the reactors. (The number is, however, about half the benefit that OPG projected two years earlier.) In written answers to questions, OPG spokesman Neal Kelly said the compa- ny also got a “wide range of outcomes,” depending on whether optimistic or pessi- mistic assumptions were used. “OPG and OPA both agree that there is a positive benefit for Pickering continued operations,” he noted. “It is likely that some of the OPG assump- tions are different than OPA’s resulting in the range discrepancy.” OPA, which endorses the project, says that the benefits of continuing to operate Pickering go beyond dollars and cents. It will reduce Ontario’s carbon dioxide emissions by 11 million tonnes between 2015 and 2020, for example. It will defer the need for an expensive new transformer station east of Toronto. And it will provide some insurance during a period when there are “significant uncertainties” about supply and demand for power. When questioned about the huge range of financial predictions, the OPA said the extremes are improbable. “The outer limits of the $2-billion range of potential benefit for the continued opera- tion of Pickering represent less likely sce- narios,” said Mary Bernard in an e-mail. “We don’t expect that the real potential benefit will land at either end of the range.” Sean-Patrick Stensill of Greenpeace, who first spotted the Pickering analysis among thousands of pages of documents filed with the energy board, said the numbers raise questions. “The Pickering reactors are already some of the most expensive reac- tors in North America to operate,” Mr. Sten- sil said. “Continuing to run them as elec- tricity demand drops is like dumping more money down a giant hole.” The wide range in estimates only sharpens the questions about the project, he said. “There’s no proof it’s in the public inter- est,” he said, arguing that there’s no current lack of power in the province. “Let’s get the numbers on the table and actually find out what Pickering will cost us.” Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli said all the information will be assessed in Ontario’s review of its long-term energy plan. The results of that review are due in about a month. “It’s a very strategic question in a very stra- tegic area,” he said in an interview. “Obviously it is one of the primary things we have to develop and decide going for- ward. It’s over 50 per cent of our base load now, so obviously it’s going to have a lot of attention.” Torstar news services Pickering nuclear refurbishment project a $2-billion question Pickering nuclear station. 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 0 , 2 0 1 3 17 AP REAL MILK DRINKERS KNOW A MILK MADE FOR DRINKING WHEN THEY TA STE ONE.

Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires and injuries in the province, and the theme of this year’s annual Fire Preven- tion Week. “Often when we’re called to a fire that start- ed in the kitchen, the residents tell us they only left the kitchen for a few minutes,” Chief Douglas said. “Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start. Help keep Pickering safe by prevent- ing fires from starting in the first place.” Important tips to prevent kitchen fires include paying attention while cooking; if you leave for any reason turn off the stove, wear tight-fitting clothing or roll up your sleeves, never try to move a burning pot and keep a close eye on anyone in your household who has been drinking and attempts to cook. Fire Prevention Week This year’s Fire Prevention Week runs from Oct. 6 through Oct. 12 and Pickering Fire Services will be hosting several community events. • Oct. 6 - Fire Safety Day/charity barbecue for Camp Bucko, Pickering rec complex, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. • Oct. 9 - Fire Chief for a Day event • Oct. 10 - Your City Comes to You, Pickering Town Centre, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. • Oct. 19 - Your City Welcome Home, tour Pick- ering’s municipal buildings and learn more about City services such as Pickering Fire Ser- vices.

OSHAWA -- A Your Life series on do-it- yourself repairs around the house with creative director Chris Palmer. sabrina byrnes / MetroLand City hall Residents of Pickering neighbourhood want drainage plan as part of new development PICKERING -- Residents of Gablehurst Crescent are asking the City to ensure developers file an adequate stormwater management plan before proceeding with a new development off Fairport Road. “Beside my neighbour the grade drops down immensely, then you come up the hill and we’re really high, so how are they going to fix that grade?” asked resident Debbie Traill, while other residents also noted what they estimated to be a 20- to 30-foot grade difference from the bottom of the street to the top. While representatives for the applicant were able to address some community concerns, assuring residents that construction vehicles and equipment would be entering the site from Fair- port Road and stored on the site rather than on Gable- hurst, they said stormwater and drainage plans were still in the works, but would have to be approved by the City before the application could proceed. PICKERING -- Cadet Jacob Leduc, from the 2525 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Pickering, received the LGen JE Vance Lead- ership Award during training in the expedition instructor course at Blackdown. The award is presented to the cadet who demonstrates leadership qualities. Cadet Leduc was selected out of approximately 100 other course cadets on the expedition course. Cadet Christopher Hoverd, from 856 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Pickering, received the Army Navy Air Veterans medal for the top cadet in the survival instructor course. The medal is given to the top cadet within every instructor course at summer training. This individual exemplifies great leadership skills, drill, dress, and deportment and has a thorough understanding of the course material. Pickering cadets celebrated for exemplary performance at training Centre Have you heard? (NC) “Registered Dietitians in Ontario are specially trained nutrition experts. They are skilled in translating medical and nutrition information into practical and healthy eating plans for you and your family”, says Mary Lou Gignac, Registrar & Executive Director of the College of Dietitians of Ontario (www.mydietitian.ca <http://www.mydietitian.ca> ). You can clearly see Registered Dietitians working in hospitals, community health centres, family health teams, long-term care, home care, schools, sports clubs, and your local grocery store. The Registered Dietitians you can’t see behind the scenes influence what we eat every day. They work in public health programs, food policy divisions of government and within consumer advocacy groups. Registered Dietitians who work in the food industry help develop food products like the breakfast cereal you eat every morning. Some food labels even claim that the product is “Registered Dietitian approved”. The healthy choice foods in restaurants and grocery stores may often be labelled by a Registered Dietitian. Some restaurant chains use Registered Dietitians to develop healthy meals and menu items.Other Registered Dietitians you can’t see study the effects of foods and nutrition on human health. Their research work eventually impacts food and nutrition recommendations and how foods are developed and delivered to help you and your community eat better to stay healthy.Registered Dietitians are held accountable by the College of Dietitians of Ontario for the quality of the services they offer no matter where they work. “These health professionals are accountable for meeting high standards of conduct and practice through their entire career,” says Mary Lou Gignac.You can recognize Registered Dietitians in your community because they have the initials RD after their name. In Ontario, only a person registered with the College can use the name dietitian.

For her effort she represented Chestnut Hill College on this week’s Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Honor Roll. Williams-Mulesa joined senior Kelly Den- nis for number two doubles wins over CACC rivals Goldey-Beacom College, 8-4, and the University of the Sciences, 8-0, but it was her fourth singles victory of the week that earned her recognition on the league’s weekly report.

It was the second time this season the Pickering High School graduate and Ver- mont freshman was named to the award. Wright led UVM to a 1-0-1 week. He scored the game-tying goal in the 77th minute to force overtime and a 1-1 draw at Dartmouth. He finished the week adding his second goal in as many games in a 2-0 victory over Binghamton in the conference opener. Wright has played in all 11 games and leads the team in scoring (11 pts) and goals (5). The rookie ranks second in the league in goals and goals per game and fifth in points and points per game.

Lightning roll into first BRAd Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The best way for a new head coach to convince players to buy into his systems is to create a winning atmosphere. Jeremy Murphy has certainly done that with the Durham West Jr. Lightning. Having moved from the assistant to the head coach role for the season, Murphy has his hockey club on the right track, winners of five in a row and unbeaten in six to start the Provincial Women’s Hockey League season. But he’s been around long enough to know it’s still early, and not to get too giddy over the initial results. “I think one thing I learned from (former head coach) Wayne (McDonald) over the years is that we have to make sure we man- age the highs and lows,” cautioned Murphy. “The team is going through a bit of a high and winning games. We’re in first place. But it’s a tough league and it’s tough to get wins, so things can change quickly.” The Lightning put up three victories in four days, starting with a 4-2 win in Aurora on Sat- urday, a home ice 4-0 blanking of Burlington on Sunday, then a 6-1 victory in Stoney Creek on Tuesday. The string of wins improves the Lightning to 5-0-1-0 on the season and moved them into first place overall in the 20-team league, two points up on Whitby, Mississauga and Ottawa, who all have a game in hand. One of the bright spots for the Lightning in the early going has been the play of team captain Kennedy Marchment. She was in on all four goals in the win over Aurora with two goals and two assists, scored once and added two assists against Burlington, and had one of each in Stoney Creek on Tuesday. Her 5-7-12 point totals moved her into a tie for top spot in the league’s overall scoring race. “People certainly focus on her points and she’s definitely a gifted offensive player, but with Kennedy, we feel that she’s just as strong defensively,” said Murphy. “Ninety per cent of her offensive opportunities start in our own end. It’s leading to a lot of chances and right now (her line) is executing.” The Lightning are in Brampton tonight. AJAX -- Durham West Lightning’s Kennedy Marchment fought to keep the puck in front of Burlington Barracudas’ Jessie Rietveld during a Provincial Women’s Hockey League game at the Ajax Community Centre. PhoTo By ARMAndo VillAVonA 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 0 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP What’s On Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor / mruta@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2243 Michael Burgess kicks off orchestra season in Durham Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Ontario Philharmonic begins its 2013/14 season with one of its big- gest fans and supporters taking the stage: Michael Burgess won't be performing with the orchestra, but will be singing many of the songs for which he is famous in an Oct. 19 fundraiser for the OP. And music director Marco Parisotto of Ajax can't say enough about Canada's beloved tenor. "He's so giving, Michael, it just never stops and he loves the orchestra so much," he says, noting Burgess was in town recently to lend his support to the Mayors’ Gala for the OP. "He's such a great artist. I've been to sever- al of his concerts, aside from accompanying him with the orchestra ... and he's a real pro. He's one of those people who was born to be on stage." Parisotto says the "intimate evening" with Burgess will see him perform his signature piece, Bring Him Home, along with Music of the Night, Gethsemane and others, accom- panied by a pianist and the OP's principal harpist, Liane James of Ajax. It's one of the many highlights of the upcoming season. The OP welcomes Montreal-based cellist Matt Haimovitz, who Parisotto describes as a "huge talent" and a "cool guy", on Nov. 2. "He began as a child prodigy and he was playing with great orchestras, just amazing in his teens," he says. Haimovitz is known for bringing classical music to non-traditional venues, including libraries and coffee shops. He is featured in the "extremely poignant" Schelomo (Hebraic Rhapsody) and the pro- gram also includes Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Titan. The latter, Parisotto says, is an "extremely challenging" piece, considered one of the world's great symphonies. "The first symphony is something that one has to experience live," he says. "There's something really special about hearing Mahler in person." Next up is guitar whiz Pavlo on Nov. 29. It's a special performance as Pavlo is play- ing new arrangements of his music with an orchestra for the first time. Parisotto describes the concert as "a real treat for the audience. "He's loved everywhere he goes; they abso- lutely flock to his concerts," he says. The calendar year ends when Toronto's Richard Margison joins the OP on Dec. 7. Considered one of the great tenors, The Great Songs of Italy evening features classics you might recognize, but not necessarily by the title, including O Sole Mio and the arias La Danza and Vesti la giubba (Ridi Pagli- accio), the latter from Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci which, Parisotto notes, Seinfeld fans would know. Visit the website, ontariophil.ca, where you can learn more about Durham's orchestra. The OP performs at the Regent Theatre, 50 King St. E., Oshawa. Tickets are available at the Regent The- atre box office, in person or online (regent- theatre.ca, 905-721-3399, ext. 2) or by calling the OP's office at 905-579-6711 (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). OSHAWA -- Cellist Matt Haimovitz performs with the Ontario Philharmonic in Oshawa on Nov. 2. The concert features Haimovitz on the moving Schelomo (Hebraic Rhapsody) by Ernest Bloch. Photo by StePhanie Mackinnon Artist fuses art- making, well-being It’s a common dilemma for fine artists who must engage in a non-art occupa- tion to pay their way while attempting to maintain a parallel career as a function- ing, productive creative being. Over sev- eral decades, since her graduation from York University in 1991, that has been an issue for Ajax artist Georgia Fullerton. And even in college in Alberta -- where she grew up after coming to Canada from Jamaica as a child -- and in university here in Ontario, Fullerton had a mirroring split in her interests: a star varsity volleyball player and an art major at both institu- tions, a jock and an artsy fartsy. But after a lengthy career working as a graphic designer and print production specialist while maintaining her calling as an artist -- plus working through the drama and heartache of a divorce that left her a single mom and a traumatic rebound relationship -- Fullerton is on the threshold of sewing her life together as a full-time artist and arts facilitator. Facilitation is a natural for this dynam- ic, passionate and creative soul. She has been highly active in the promotion of black artists over the years, creating col- lectives of Afro-centric art-makers and participating in a score of group exhibi- tions, notably at two of the ROM Scotia- bank Caribana shows and at numerous other GTA events and group exhibitions. As well, she had a solo show in Toronto in 2010 and shows work at Cultural Expres- sions Art Gallery in Ajax. Fullerton has teaching in her back- ground, with both her father and mother now retired from long careers as public school educators. At present, Fullerton is engaging in studies to enhance her newly created 'Just Georgia -- Expressive Arts from the Heart' initiative, which involves art instruction, expression through art workshops and healing art consulting. Plus, there is her ongoing personal art expression through, primarily, painting in acrylics, with subject matter ranging from figures and landscapes to abstracts, the various modes chosen to express emo- tional connection, sensuality and all the myriad aspects of the human condition.
