Mr. Douglas has been with the Pickering department for 42 years starting as a volunteer and then working his way up the ladder where he spent the last 12 years as chief. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Pickering fire chief retiring Bill Douglas started with the department in 1971 Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When Bill Douglas started with the Pickering Fire Services (back then it was the fire department), Pierre Trudeau was three years into his job as prime minister, the Toron- to Maple Leafs were only four years removed from their last Stanley Cup win, ‘far out’ was still part of the vernacular, the first four reactors at the Pickering nuclear station came on line and Michael Jackson was setting out on a solo career. Since 1971, Chief Douglas has been a fire- fighter and administrator with the fire service, including the past 12 as chief. After a 42-year career, he has announced he’s retiring on March 1 of next year. 905-686-9607 Visit lifestyleproducts.ca (Call for details) ENERGY REBATES Save hundreds when you purchase NEW WINDOWS & DOORS Remembrance Day Sunday, November 10 10:45 am Esplanade Park behind Cit y Hall pickering.ca/greatevents 280 Kingston Rd.

Video shows final moments before mentally ill Pickering man shot to death LAURA KANE TORONTO -- Reyal Jardine-Douglas tried unsuccessfully to get off a TTC bus through the back doors before pulling a knife and advancing quickly towards a police officer, security footage played at an inquest shows. Several videos from a Victoria Park bus, taken from different angles on Aug. 29, 2010 at around 3:10 p.m., show the Pickering man boarding, paying his fare and sitting near the back of the bus calmly for several minutes. Bus driver Ralph Charles testified that two police cars surrounded the bus after about seven or eight stops, and he began to pull over. At that point, Mr. Jardine-Douglas can be seen in the video becoming agitated and beginning to slam on the back doors, but he wasn’t able to exit because the bus hadn’t come to a full stop. Mr. Jardine-Douglas then rifles through his bag and removes a six-inch knife from its packaging, as two police officers begin to board the bus. He moves quickly toward the officer in front, who draws his firearm, appears to yell something and scrambles backwards. Within seconds, Mr. Jardine- Douglas has forced him off the bus and they can only partially be seen through the bus windows. Mr. Charles testified that when the officer initially boarded the bus, he said in a calm voice, “Can you come with me, sir?” But after the knife was drawn, he pulled his gun and began to yell, “Drop the knife.” Mr. Charles said that the officer ran back- wards into a fence, as Mr. Jardine-Douglas continued to move towards him, lunging at him on either side of a hydro pole. The officer moved away from the fence, but eventually fired two or three times, when Mr. Jardine-Douglas was five or six feet away from him, Mr. Charles testified. Mr. Jardine-Doug- las fell slightly, but did not completely drop to his knees before trying to get back up again, Mr. Charles said, adding the object was still in his hand. The officer fired again, and that time, Mr. Jardine-Douglas did not get up. The coroner’s inquest is examining the deaths of Mr. Jardine-Douglas, Michael Eli- gon and Sylvia Klibingaitis, who all had men- tal health issues and were carrying sharp weapons when they were shot and killed by Toronto police officers. -- Torstar News Services RETIREMENT RESIDENCE Where everyone is family 1955 Valley Farm Rd.

The cause of a fire has not yet been determined and remains under investi- gation, Ajax Deputy Fire Chief Michael Gamba said. Durham Regional Police said the fire on Friday, Oct. 18 was related to suicide. The name of the man is not being released. Over the weekend, investigators from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal and the Ajax Fire and Emergency Servic- es were at the scene. The incident happened around 9 a.m. in an apartment at 317 Harwood Ave. S. Steven Klimpel, a fire investigator with the fire marshal’s office, said one man was removed from the apartment and taken to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, before being trans- ferred to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. “It’s a serious-injury fire. There was an explosion,” Mr. Klimpel said. “I heard a boom and watched them take him out,” said neighbour Jamie Irvine. “I thought it was a crash outside, a car crash. So I rolled over. Then there was a bang, bang, bang and police said to get out.” A woman who lived below the unit is “really shook up. She thought the roof was going to collapse,” said Ms. Irvine. “I thought it was a car crash because we hear so many. I heard a bang, but I didn’t get up because we hear so many,” she added. There are 12 units in the building. The fire was in a unit on the third floor of the building at the northeast corner of Harwood and Bayly Street. Deputy Chief Gamba said no one else was hurt.

Forty years full time,” he noted, adding he wants to spend time with his grandchil- dren. “There are things I’d like to do, little things. My wife is looking to retire. It’s just time. I love working for the City of Pickering. It’s time to go.” Deputy Chief John Hagg has been named to replace Chief Douglas. “When I told them I was retiring, I said I hoped they would go inside (to find a replacement). They chose John. He’s an excellent choice and he’ll do a great job for Pickering. He comes from a firefighting background. He’ll keep things going for- ward for us. I’m so glad the City chose him. They’re getting an excellent chief for many years to come.” When Chief Douglas began his career, Pickering had a population in the low 20,000 and two fire halls -- the one of Bayly Street west of Brock Road and a quonset hut on Hwy. 2 at Rosebank Road. “There were two guys. If one guy was off sick or on holiday, you worked by yourself. If you got called, you had to drive the truck and pull lines. When you got to a fire, you looked for volunteers,” he said. Like many departments at the time, volun- teers were an integral part of the fire service, especially in rural areas. Now, Pickering has four fire halls staffed full-time. It’s the staff that Chief Douglas will miss. “I’m going to miss the job, but I’ll miss the staff the most,” he said. “I don’t get into the halls as much as I used to. I love coming to work still. It’s time. I’ll miss the people the most, the employees and staff.” He’s been off fire trucks for about 20 years. Chief Douglas noted, “I still go to major losses or if I’m called. Other than that, I don’t go to calls. I keep a portable radio in the office to hear,” he said, adding he might ask for a portable radio when he leaves. “It’s the people. They drop by my office from time to time. We ask about our fami- lies. It’s nice to touch base,” he said. The biggest change over the years is the types of calls the fire department has to deal with. When he started, it was house fires or a fire in a garbage can. Now, 53 per cent of calls are medical. When he started, ice rescue and high-rise rescues were rare. “It’s more specialized,” he said. The one type of call that really bothers him is firefighters having to deal with fires in meth labs. “We never had those.” He added, “We learn to do everything good. We practise everything. Our guys have to do everything. It’s pretty reward- ing.” When he started, firefighters heading to a call would hang on the side of the truck. “When we would go up Brock and hit the railway, we’d all bounce. Health and safety wasn’t a priority.” It was worse in winter, as firefighters would be cold or covered in snow and then had to fight a fire. “We hung on for dear life sometimes.” Deputy Chief Hagg said he has “mixed feelings” taking over for Chief Douglas. “He’s a great chief. He’s been here 42 years, 12 years as the chief. He’s been great for everybody, great for the city. The guys all love him. He’s put his mark on this place and it’s been a great mark,” Deputy Chief Hagg said. “He’s a great guy. I’m sad to see him go.” Deputy Chief Hagg started as a volun- teer in 1987 and was hired full time the next year.

Investigators launched a “historical” investigation after a teenaged girl came forward with allegations, Durham police said. That investigation led to “multiple” charges and cops want to ensure there are no other ccomplainants. Anthony Lake, 49, of Sanok Drive in Pickering, is charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation, invitation to sexual touching and sexual interfer- ence.

Many have spent thousands on exams and procedures,and many are no better than when they started. So,today,I’m offering you a way to see if perhaps I can help.Ve ry often I can. Let me tell you a little about me before I go on to explain my offer. Ye ars ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. At the time,I’m a contractor for my fathers’construction business,and life is good.But then,it happens…I develop a painful back condition known as “disc bulge/herniation”.In my case it comes on suddenly.The pain in my back gets so intense that I can’t bend over,lifting anything is impossible, and I can’t even put on my shoes.The shooting pain sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night.I’m afraid that I’ll hurt my fathers’business if the disability continues.After considering surgery (that’s the only option,according to the doctor)I decide against it.But, there’s more… A friend of mine convinces me to give his doctor a try.This new doctor does an exam,takes some films,and then ‘adjusts’my spine (he tells me that there’s nerve pressure on the nerves in my low back).The adjustment doesn’t hurt,it actually feels good.I get relief, and shortly after I can help my father again.Oh,did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor?Chiropractic works so well for me,and I’m so impressed with the other ‘miracles’I see in his office, that I eventually go to chiropractic school myself.And that’s how it happened!” Now,as for my son Dominic,he’s the cute little guy in the photo.He is about the healthiest little guy I know.Yo u see,he had his first adjustment when he was days old and has had regular Chiropractic since.I see many children who suffer from ear infections,allergies, attention deficit disorder and asthma. Can you imagine a little kid not being able to play with their friends in gym class,because they’re afraid of having an asthma attack or because their allergies prevent them from doing so? That seems like a small thing but it makes a big difference to those families when their children’s health is restored. The beautiful woman on the right is my wife Princess.She knows enough to ask me to adjust her when she feels like she may be getting sick,or just to stay “tuned up.” People from Ajax/Pickering and the surrounding area come to see me with their low back problems.They also come to me with their: •Headaches •Migraines •Chronic pain •Neck pain •Shoulder/Arm Pain •Whiplash from car accidents •Backaches •Numbness in limbs •Athletic injuries Just to name a few Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “I haven’t had to take pain pills since starting care.(A.C.–Ajax) “For the first time in years I feel good. Sciatica is gone”(D.S.–Pickering) “I feel wonderful.I ran up stairs for the first time in years.”(P.K.–Ajax) “I wish I knew about…Chiropractic earlier.(A.E.–Pickering) I’m blessed that people often thank me for helping them with their health problems.But I can’t really take the credit.I’ve never healed anyone of anything.What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure,and the body responds by healing itself.Of course,all people respond differently to care,but we get terrific results.It’s as simple as that! Chiropractic is probably the most misunderstood health care profession there is.It is about working with,and enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities.Chiropractors find and remove interference in the nerve system,which allows the body to respond better.As misunderstood as it is,the studies speak for themselves,like the Virginia study that showed that over 95%of patients who saw a chiropractor were satisfied with their results.That’s just incredible! Millions of Canadians no longer have supplemental health insurance,and many of those who do have found that their benefits are reduced..That’s where chiropractic comes in.A seven- year study compared costs of people seeing medical providers vs.alternative providers (like chiropractors).Overall the patients seeing alternative providers had 60%less hospitalizations,59%less days in the hospital,62%less outpatient surgeries,and 85%less costs for prescription drugs. Special Offer -Look,I know you’re smart.Yo u want to get to the cause of your problem,and not just cover it up with drugs.Be one of the first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient exam (by Friday November 07,2013)you’ll receive the entire exam for $37.That’s with x-rays,a complete nerve,muscle and spinal exam to seek the “cause”of your problem...the whole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees.But,call right away because we expect to be flooded with calls as this exam normally costs $115.So don’t miss out.Again,be one of the first 20 appointments available.. Great care at a great fee…Please,I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee.Yo u’ll get great care at a great fee.My qualifications…I’m a graduate of New Yo rk Chiropractic College.I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may even know. After practicing in Pittsburgh PA for three years,I moved my practice to Ajax.I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Nancy and she is a really great person.Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.We have a wonderful service,at an exceptional fee.Our office is called Health First Family Chiropractic and it’s at 335 Bayly St.We st –Suite 206 Ajax (we are across from the old Chrysler plant).Our phone number is 289-275- 2444.Call Nancy or me today for an appointment.We can help you.Thank you and God Bless. -Dr.Clay Kosinko,D.C.

And with his coming retirement, Pickering residents owe the chief a collective ‘thank you’ and best wishes for a long and happy rest. Chief Douglas has announced he will step down on March 1 after 12 years as head of the department. Deputy Chief John Hagg has been named as his replacement. Reminiscing a bit with the chief, it’s aston- ishing to think he started as a volunteer in 1971 when Pickering was a very differ- ent place. Volunteers were vital back then as there were just two full-time firefighters and when one was off work, the depart- ment had a staff of one. That’s where the volunteers came in: they would be enlisted to help at a scene. The City had just 20,000 people then. As the chief noted, firefighting is a more specialized occupation now. Mention ‘meth lab’ back in the early 70s and no one would know what you were talking about. Today, firefighters in Pickering have to deal with those dangerous situations, many more medical calls, ice and high-rise res- cues and other incidents where their exten- sive training and practising is vital to ensure both their safety and that of residents. As with police officers, we tend to think of the big moments in a firefighter’s life: when he or she saved a person from a burning building, extricated another from a car that had been crumpled in an accident and the like. And while these actions certainly stand out, we tend to forget the many little things these first responders do, like simply leaving the safety and security of their homes and families to possibly put their lives on the line. We may leave for work in the morning disliking our job or our boss, but few of us leave knowing that our occupation is such that we may never come home. Like a doctor or the hospital, we tend to need the services of firefighters only when trouble comes. But they are always think- ing of trouble for us, how to prevent it and, when it arrives, and thanks to their profes- sionalism, dedication and basic human concern for others, what to do in the situa- tion. Chief Douglas has served the city well, helped to bring firefighting in Pickering into the 21st century. Thanks for all you’ve done for the people of Pickering. Celebrate Santa after Remembrance Day To the editor: So once more the Pickering Santa Claus Parade is going to be held before Remem- brance Day. Just as it was last year. I think the people concerned with arranging this date are heart- less. There is a time and place for every thing. Christ- mas will be over a month away, yet we are going to let the commercialization part of Christmas take over again. The parade should be held after Nov. 11, so that we can direct our attention to the time of the year when we honour those who fought and died in the wars. I hope if you agree you will at least pass your feelings on to those involved. Thank you for your consideration. John Smith Pickering Another gold-plated pensioner To the editor: Re: ‘Durham police Chief Mike Ewles announces plan to retire’, news, durhamre- gion.com, Oct. 18, 2013. I’m sorry but I have really had enough of civil servants who get to retire at 52. No wonder Chief Ewles is smiling. Too many of us had to endure the last recession and many are still trying to recover, yet all of us are still paying taxes to support over-the-top benefit and salary packages. Not one civil servant has ever taken a hit like that, yet they all still want more. There are fewer and fewer gold-plat- ed pension plans in the non-civil servant workforce and even then only for those who work for large corporations. Those who work part-time or for small- er companies are really left to their own devices. Witness the current discussion in Otta- wa and Queen’s Park about enlarging CPP, or whatever they come up with, since politi- cians know that a large part of the population will not have a decent retirement yet they con- tinue to approve larger and better conditions for the ones we have to pay. Unfortunately our past legions of elected politi- cians have not had the guts to stand up to civil service unions and hold them to at least the average among regular working tax- payers.Of course that isn’t the only prob- lem with our governments these days but that discussion will have to be another day.

Successful activists inspire Pickering airport opponents Land Over Landings working to broaden support Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Carl Cosack knows what it's like to be David fighting Goliath. And he knows what it's like to win. He recently headed up a citi- zens’ coalition that successful- ly stopped a massive limestone quarry from being built on prime farmland in Melancthon Town- ship. "We were very fortunate to be able to change the conversa- tion ... instead of fighting against something, we were fighting for something," says Mr. Cosack, chairman of the North Duffer- in Agricultural and Community Taskforce. On Oct. 22, he brought that success story to the Claremont Community Centre for an event hosted by Land over Landings, a group opposed to plans for an airport in Pickering. More than 150 people showed up, eager to hear how a tiny township took on a big corpora- tion. Mr. Cosack's advice? Come armed with solutions, not com- plaints. And make the goal something everyone can get on board with. "In this case, your ask is very simple -- take class 1 farm- land off the table for develop- ment of any kind," he said. "It costs the government noth- ing and it will strengthen the community. It's a win-win." Land Over Landings has reig- nited a four-decade struggle after a June 11 announcement that saw the federal government renew its commitment to build a new international airport in Pickering. The group's argument focus- es on the need to protect prime farmland. Members envision the feder- al lands being declared an agri- cultural and natural heritage preserve, a source of everything from meat and vegetables, to field crops and wool. The last few months have seen Land Over Landings put out a call for volunteers, host commu- nity information meetings and take politicians and supporters on a bus tour of the lands. "So far we have tremen- dous support from a number of groups, our next step is to keep building that momentum," says chairwoman Mary Delaney. "We need people to know this is not just a local issue .. .we want to garner support from all over and from all levels of government." Shirley Boxem, vice-chairwom- an of NDACT, said it will take time for Land Over Landings to take root with its new look and feel, but believes the group can "absolutely" achieve the same results that quarry opponents did. "I had members of my own family tell me I was wasting my time, that money always trumps community interests," she said. "But slowly we got that support. I would drive down the same old street and suddenly see a new person had a lawn sign. That can happen here too." Land Over Landings still needs donations and volunteers, in particular a volunteer co-ordi- nator. For more information, visit www.landoverlandings.com.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Fall a magical time for mushrooms in the woods Like so many people who love walking through the woods, I’ve stopped to look at a lot of mushrooms this fall. Red ones, orange ones, brown, black, green, pink, tan, white -- they’re all over the forest floor, decorating fallen logs and climbing up dead limbs and stubs. I’ve found cups, jellies, brackets, puffballs, cor- als, and a host of standard “umbrellas.” The classiest of all was this bright yellow one standing eight-inches high in a pine forest. “Now that’s a mushroom!” I said to myself, not having a clue what kind it was, but lost in admiration. My husband and I were pitching our tent in a wooded hollow on our September canoe trip when we spotted it, one of the tallest mushrooms I’ve ever seen. I even- tually found more than half a dozen of the same species nearby, at various stages of growth, everything from a bump pushing up through the leaf mold, to unfurled lem- on-yellow parasols five-inches across. One cap was torn off its stem and lying on the ground, gills side up, and chewed along its edge -- by a red-backed vole? Chipmunk? Red squirrel? Do local rodents know which fungi in their neighbourhood are poisonous? I wondered. Or can they tolerate mushroom toxins that humans can’t? What I don’t know about fungi could fill an encyclope- dia. I did know that I wasn’t about to nibble on what was likely an amanita, a member of the genus of mushrooms that Emperor Claudius was reputedly fed by his wife, so her son Nero could become ruler of Rome. Checking pictures in Mushrooms of Ontar- io and Eastern Canada, a favourite field guide, pretty well convinced me that those beautiful yellow mushrooms were either Frost’s amanita or a close look-alike called yellow patches. A quick scan through the introduction to University of Guelph prof George Bar- ron’s guide reminded me what an amazing part of an ecosystem the threadlike, spore- forming fungi, with their oddly shaped fruiting bodies, are. They make up a whop- ping 90 per cent of the biomass -- the liv- ing stuff -- in forest soils, and are the prime recyclers of fallen trees. It may take a few decades or even a century, but eventually that log, that stump, will vanish, broken up by a growing mushroom’s tiny cylindrical threads, thousands of kilometers of them, which penetrate the tree’s vascular system and digest the cellulose and lignin. Other types of fungi work symbiotically with living trees to deliver the minerals and water they need. Apparently each tree has its own massive grid of microscopic fungal threads spreading through the soil around its roots, performing this invaluable ser- vice. In exchange, the fungi get energy from sugars the tree produces in its leaves through photosynthesis. A powerful lesson from Mother Nature about working in part- nership for the good of all.

Margaret Carney The Great Outdoors See a video of the Ming on Facebook facebook.com/NewsDurhamKristensKritters Keep Durham pets safe this Halloween Who loves Halloween? I know I do. But the more I read about it, the more I find it’s not as exciting for most pets. With all of the commotion -- shouts of “Trick or treat,” plenty of unusual costumes and constant loud knocks at the door -- it can be overwhelming for pets, and cause them to act out of character. Since pets can bolt when they’re fright- ened, it’s important to keep them in a secure and safe area inside the house, spe- cifically in a quiet room so they can’t run away. Turn on a radio or TV to help sup- press outside sounds and knocks. If your dog gets excited by the doorbell, consider disabling it for the night. For example, the Calis family dog stays in one of her favourite spots, the office. She frankly doesn’t care that the kid from down the street looks cute in his pirate costume, so she certainly isn’t missing out. And my parents have the peace of mind that she’s safe. But make sure your pets, both dogs and cats, have a tag and a microchip in case they do happen to get out. The tendency to bolt isn’t the only rea- son to keep your pet indoors on Hallow- een. Sadly, there are sick people out there who may hurt a pet on Halloween. It’s ter- rible, but preventable. When you have to let your dog out for the bathroom, accompany him. If your cat goes outside (which it shouldn’t), do not let her out for a few days leading up to and a few days after Halloween. Black cats are especially at risk of pranks or cruelty-relat- ed incidents. It’s best to leave your dog at home while trick-or-treating. With all of the commo- tion, your usually friendly dog could act out of character or become aggressive. The BC Society for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Animals says, in addition, dressing your dog in a costume inhibits his abil- ity to communicate to other dogs. So in a chance meeting with another dog, he may give off signals that inadvertently lead to an aggressive confrontation. On the costume topic, it’s best to try it on your pet in advance and have practice runs before Halloween. As sad as it may seem to us pet owners, if they seem distressed, allergic or show abnormal behavior, leave the costume off. Try a festive bandana instead. We should keep in mind that pet costumes are more for our benefit. If your pet accepts the costume, make sure it’s not too tight around the neck or stomach area. If the costume comes with tiny buttons, bells or beads, consid- er removing them before dressing your pet. And make sure the costume doesn’t obstruct your pet’s vision, hearing or movement. Don’t feed your pets candy or chocolate. A diet change will upset their stomach, and chocolate is especially dangerous. It contains theobromine, an ingredient that is toxic to cats and dogs. If they eat it, it can result in death. Also be mindful of your pet’s excellent sense of smell and ability to get into the garbage. Make sure those candy wrappers are impossible for your pets to find by locking the garbage tight. Jack-o-lanterns and candles make for a festive Halloween display, but keeping them inside the house with pets around isn’t a good idea. If you must display them inside your house this Halloween season, make sure they’re out of your pet’s reach. Halloween is a fun time for humans, so try to keep these tips in mind to make it enjoyable -- or tolerable -- for your pet too. Kristen Calis Reporter Halloween can overwhelm pets DURHAM -- While pets look cute in Halloween costumes, it’s important to make sure your pet doesn’t mind get- ting dressed up before the big day. If your pet accepts the costume, make sure it’s safe and comfortable.

He was sleeping in his car and spending his days at the racetrack while his wife Linda thought he was at work. Gambling more and more,trying to get out of financial trouble,he had drained his family’s savings and was deep in debt. In desperation,he asked his wife’s boss for a loan. “The first question my boss asked Richard was ‘Does Linda know?’”explains Linda. “He had to admit that I didn’t. So, part of the agreement was my boss would lend him the money – but Richard had to tell me.” Linda’s first reaction to her husband’s confession? Anger. The second overwhelming feeling was guilt: “How did I miss this ?” According to research from the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), one in 10 Ontarians reports being negatively affected by someone else’s gambling – that’s over one million people. Problem gambling not only impacts the gambler, stressors can be felt by family and friends, with far-reaching emotional and financial repercussions. During its Problem Gambling Prevention Week (PGPW), RGC is reaching out to family and friends of people with potential gambling problems, providing information about how to spot a problem,protect finances and get help through local resources. The campaign highlights one of the key signs of a gambling problem: chasing losses – gambling more in order to win back losses or get out of financial trouble. There hadn’t been any obvious signs of a problem. Yes, money was tight, but it had been for a while. Linda hadn’t seen any of the bills because Richard always looked after the finances. As far as she was concerned, it was business as usual. In retrospect, she saw thingsthat didn’t add up: Richard’s uncle had died and left them money. The couple bought a car and kept the rest of the money in a joint account. One day, Linda went looking for the statement book and couldn’t find it. Their finances were in ruins. Her trust in Richard truly shaken. “The strangest thing for me is I’m not a gambler of any kind,” says Linda. “For me it’s: I worked hard for this and I want to keep it a bit longer. So it kind of blew me away.” But Linda has always been a practical person, so she didn’t spend a lot of time dwelling on the anger and guilt. “Survival kicked in,” says Linda. “I had to make sure the kids were OK. I just thought ‘This is what we have to do’ andIcameupwithaplan.Iarrangedwith my bosstotake $200 off my paycheque.And I told Richard –we’re going to have to make up the shortfall.” Once they had a handle on everything and a clear plan of action, they approached the kids and explained it to them. “Richard’s counsellor said I could come in with him or by myself if I wanted to, but I am used to dealing with things myself, rationalizing it and then getting over it.” In hindsight,Linda sees the benefits of getting help and advises it for spouses now going through what she did. “Don’t feel guilty – don’t let that enter your mind. And if you feel you can’t handle it yourself, get help and use the resources that are available to you.” ChasingLosses&Other Signs ofa GamblingProblem A key sign of a gambling problem is chasing losses – the attempt to recover gambling losses, or break even, by continuing to gamble. Each person’s experience is different, but here are other warning signs that you, or someone you know, may have a gambling problem: •Hiding bills, past due notices, winnings or losses. •Gambling instead of spending time with friends or family. •Neglecting work and personal needs because of gambling. •Increased tension, stress and arguments relating to money. •Getting irritated more easily or having less patience when dealing with normal, everyday activities. •Increased debt, unpaid bills or other financial troubles. QuestioningSomeone’s Gambling?Get Informed and HelpStoptheChase Responsible Gambling Council encourages those with Gambling Problems to Stop the Chase stopthechase.ca ADVERTOR IAL Our research shows that approximately 3.4% of Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem. In Durham Region, this would equate to approximately 15,600 adults. RGC research also shows that approximately one in ten Ontarians reports being negatively affected by someone else’s gambling. This means that another 45,800 people in Durham Region are estimated to be negatively impacted. Free and confidential resources are available.Many agencies also provide help for family members and friends of the gambler.

PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section.

Oshawa, ON DURHAM WINDOWS& DOORS Vinyl WindowDesigns Ltd. TM windows for life! www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca Batteries dead? Recycle instead AA, AAA, 9-volts, C and D size, you name it, we want these batteries. The Region is powering up again to collect your dead household batteries. The next curbside collection is sched- uled for Nov. 4 to 8, on your regular blue box collection day. Residents living in Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock received a special orange sticker located inside their new waste collection calendars that were delivered recently through Canada Post. Simply remove the orange sticker and place on your own zip- per-style clear plastic bag. Fill the bag with bat- teries and place it out for collection on top of your blue box on your regular col- lection day during the week of Nov. 4 to 8. Residents in Oshawa and Whitby can obtain this special sticker from selected locations; a full list of locations can be found at www.durham.ca/battery. How- ever, bags without an orange sticker will also be accepted. The collection coincides with the “fall back” daylight time changes and promo- tion of changing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Residents who miss the col- lection date, or who do not have collection services provid- ed by the Region of Durham, are encouraged to drop off batteries at any Durham waste management facil- ity. Locations and hours of operation can be found at www. durham.ca/waste. You can also visit www.makethe- drop.ca for disposal alternatives. There are more than 2,000 battery collection sites throughout Ontario, consisting of municipal depots, special collection events, a network of retail stores and other easily accessible drop-off points for consumers that can be used any time of the year. For safety reasons, only undamaged batteries are acceptable for curbside collection. Residents with damaged or leaking batteries should place the batteries in a leak-proof container and deliver them to a regional waste management facility for recycling. Did you know? Zinc is one of the world’s most com- monly used metals. Approximately 30 per cent of the zinc today comes from recycled sources. Raw Materials Company, the Region’s battery recycler, is able to recover zinc from recycled batteries. The zinc it recovers is then reused as a micronutri- ent in fertilizer to grow corn for biofuel. Through this application, farmers are able to increase their yields by over 20 bushels per acre.

For some Canadians with breathing and lung conditions, leaving a party with the sniffles could end up in a visit to the hospital. More than 770,000 Canadians have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD causes symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing and coughing up phlegm. When symptoms get worse or a new, persistent symptom comes on, it could be the beginning of a lung attack, which can lead to hospitalization, restricted mobility and can increase the risk of death. In fact, COPD lung attacks requiring hospitalization peak every year during the winter holidays. To ensure your holiday season is made up of family time and not hospital time, here are some simple steps to follow: Keep your hands clean: Germs are commonly spread through handshakes. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if necessary. Keep your immune system strong: Stay in shape, eat well and get lots of sleep to help combat the cold and flu bug. Know the signs of a lung attack: Watch for signs like increased coughing, wheezing or unusual changes in phlegm. See your physician if you notice worsening symptoms and also ask if your medication dosages need an adjustment.

Mike Johnston Managing Editor Movie Time Escape Plan ééééé Arnold saves Escape Plan There’s only one reason to see Escape Plan, and his name is Arnold. In Escape Plan, Sylvester Stallone plays Ray Breslin, a master of breaking out of escape-proof prisons. After an opening scene in which Stal- lone breaks out of his latest prison, he is soon hired to test the most escape-proof security facility ever devised. Before you can say facelift, Stallone is taken from the streets and dropped into a prison run by Warden Hobbes, played very convincingly by Jim Cavie- zel, Mr. Reese from Person of Interest. We quickly learn Breslin has been set up and he is not expected to ever escape from this prison, wherever it is located. It’s here he meets inmate Swan Rott- mayer played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and the two go about escaping from the inescapable. It’s also at this point when the movie develops a sense of humour, thanks to Arnold, who knows his role and relishes the chance to play opposite Stallone. He has some great one lines and delivers them with fun. I can’t say the same for Stallone. His face is so stretched he has a tough time even smiling. He walks around as stiff as a board. Of course the two break out but that’s not the point of this movie. We are expected to smile because two of the biggest action heroes are together but if it wasn’t for Arnold, this would be a very forgettable movie. The other problem with the movie is the excessive use of the F word. I know it is a prison but even Stallone’s part- ners on the outside who continue to look for him are asked to deliver non-stop F bombs. This is not a movie for a younger crowd, a few of whom were sitting behind me and needed to explain to each other what was happening in between the swearing. Escape Plan gets a two out of five.

The incident happened in the second peri- od of the game at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby. A clearing attempt by an Aurora player from his own end sailed through the bench area, striking Fisher in the temple. At the time, the second-year head coach with the Ontario Junior Hockey League club was talking to a player, unable to get out of the way in time. Fisher was taken by ambulance to the hos- pital where he received seven stitches. “We’ve all been on the bench. We’ve been hit in the elbow, hit in the stomach. But to hit the poor guy in the (temple) ... is unbeliev- able. It wasn’t a great day,” said GM Frank Robinson, who fielded 18 calls on Monday from well-wishers and supporters inquiring about Fisher’s health. Fisher had his professional playing career cut short due to the effects of a severe con- cussion. He also missed some time behind the bench during last season after suffering a concussion while at home. The Fury lost Sunday’s game 6-3. OSHAWA -- Tom Maxwell, who coached Bobby Orr during his years playing hockey in Parry Sound, is mentioned in a new book by Bobby Orr called ‘Orr, My Story’. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Former coach included in new Bobby Orr book Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The release of the book Orr: My Story, chronicling the life of defence- man Bobby Orr, has a distinct local flavour to it. In addition to a chapter on his days with the Oshawa Generals, there are a couple of mentions of the coaches he had start- ing out in minor hockey in Parry Sound, who made the game fun and enjoyable at an early age. One of those coaches he ref- erences is Oshawa resident Tom Maxwell. “He could skate. He always could skate,” remembers Maxwell about those early days in squirt hockey for 8 to 10 year olds. “There were others on that team. It was a pretty strong team. We ended up losing the Ontario championship in double overtime in Bowmanville. We had two men in the penalty box. “We set up as a pro team. We had penalty killers, we had a power play.” Maxwell watched Orr progress through the peewee and bantam years as well, serving as a head coach on three different occasions. Much of the memorabilia he collected over the years was turned over to Orr’s father, Doug, when a museum was being put together to honour the famous defenceman in his hometown of Parry Sound. But the memories have never faded for the 78 year old, who moved to Oshawa in 1974. “One of the things I think causes hockey to flow is the give and go and Bobby is a master at the give and go,” recalls Maxwell, who crosses paths with Orr at various func- tions. “The whole team flows with that.” Maxwell, who played football and bas- ketball at McMaster University, says he was contacted by Vern Stenlund, who helped Orr write the book, so he had an idea there might be an inclusion. There is also a pic- ture of one of the Ontario championship teams he was involved with, Orr sitting front and centre holding the trophy. As for Orr’s demeanour away from the ice, Maxwell says not much has changed since Orr was a youngster. “He wanted to please. He’s a very humble individual. That’s the way he is.” To promote the book, Orr will be in Oshawa on Friday at the Chapters located in the Oshawa Centre for a signing begin- ning at 7 p.m. Ringette 50 years of ringette celebrated in Pickering PICKERING -- A celebration of 50 years of ringette will hit Pickering on Thursday, Oct. 24.

Are there any improvements? A.Speaker features are excellent because two ears are better than one. And yes,we have your solution to ugly cords and wires.Yo u can hear on yo ur cell with our system because it is wireless and cordless. Q.I need to ke ep changing my batteries. Is there something better? A.Batteries need to be changed depending on size.Small batteries like the ‘10’ needstobe replaced every3to5days.Alargerbattery,‘675’,canlast10-14days. However we have a solution. Some of our hearing aids come with rechargeable batteries---no need to replace, or drop batteries on the floor---simply charge overnight. Q.What do yo u suggest to prevent my hearing aids of going ‘dead’? A.Re search indicates that ear wax is the #1 cause fo r hearing aid failure.Dry skin, moisture and skin oil can also cause the hearing aid to malfunction. Our solution to prevent failure is to offer a comprehensive service plan based on individual needs.We schedule you to come in on a regular basis which actually prolongs the life of yo ur hearing aids. Q.I still hear ringing in my ears even with my hearing aids; Suggestions? A.Ringing in the ears is called tinnitus and is quite common.We may have the solution fo r yo u with our newer aids which have a specific feature just to deal with that annoying tinnitus.
