PICKERING -- Elena Minnis lost her son Connor Fox to cancer in December 2010. During his treatments
he required many blood transfusions. Her family is organizing a series of blood donor clinics in his honour

PICKERING -- When Connor Fox
was being treated for cancer, the
local boy required more blood
transfusions than his mother
could count.
Next month, it will be three
years since he lost his fight with
neuroblastoma, just a few weeks
after his fourth birthday.
His family is planning to hon-
our his memory with blood donor
clinics in Pickering on Nov. 15
and 21, to help others facing seri-
ous illness or injury.
“Connor and I used to pray
every time we would see a bag of
blood, it really is the gift of life,”
says Connor’s mom, Elena Min-
nis.

If Yo u Suffer From A Single One Of These To rturous Symptoms – Numbness, Tingling, Or Sharp Nerve Pain –
THEN THE FA CTS BELOW MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTA NT YOU HAVE EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE!
Which Of These Neuropathy Symptoms Do Yo u Suffer From?
Neuropathy affects every part of your life --walking,sitting,
and even sleeping.
Maybe you’ve had multiple tests, only to find out no one has
any idea what you have.Maybe you’ve even been put on a drug
with heavy side effects.
My name is Dr.Clay Kosinko, clinic director at Health First
Fa mily Chiropractic.I’ve been helping people with neuropathy
and nerve problems for years.
More than 500,000 Canadians suffer from peripheral
neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that
supply your arms and legs.
This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to
transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal
organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to
irreversible health conditions.
Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of
peripheral neuropathy?
Data from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners’Job
Analysis of Chiropractic lists arm and leg neuropathy as the
second most common nerve problem treated by chiropractors.
Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing
on the nerve roots.This can happen in any of the vertebral
joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.
The Single Most Important Solution To Yo ur
Neuropathy
By using gentle techniques,I’m able to release the pressure
that has built up on the nerve.This allows the nerve to heal
and the symptoms to go away.
Numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in
helping nerve conditions...
“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments],with or without
exercise,improved symptoms more than medical care did
after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal
Patients showed an 85.5%resolution of the nerve symptoms
after only 9 chiropractic treatments.-Journal of Chiropractic
Medicine 2008
With chiropractic care,patients had “s ignificant improvement
in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger
sensation overall.”–JMPT 1998
“Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of
motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests
were negative.Symptoms dissipated.”–JMPT 1994
What these studies mean is that with chiropractic care,you
could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve
problems.
Read what these Chiropractic Patients are saying:
“Before Chiropractic, I suffered with severe low
back pain and couldn’t even move my big toe.I
could not walk for 10 min.without having to stop.
Now,I am getting movement in my toe and back is
improving.I wish I knew about
chiropractic earlier.”
-Abel E., Pickering
“Before Chiropractic I could not walk far before
my back would hurt and I would get tingling in my
legs.Now my back is moving better and I can walk
without any problems.”
-Linda F., Pickering
“Before Chiropractic...I could not live.Constant back pain &
Sciatica all the time.For the first time in years I feel good and
sciatica is gone. I would recommend chiropractic to anyone..
You will feel like a new person!”–Debbie S.,Ajax

Clarification
and apology
The Pickering News Advertiser ran a story Oct.
23 on a terrorism hoax at Pickering Nucle-
ar plant with an accompanying file photo of a
worker at the plant.
The worker in the photograph was Sam Pablo.
Mr. Pablo had absolutely nothing to do with the
accompanying story.
The photograph of Mr. Pablo was from 2011
and was used because it was a photograph the
News Advertiser had on file.
The News Advertiser apologizes to Mr. Pablo.
Calls for improved
safety at Pickering
intersection
Resident blames poor sight
lines for accident
Moya Dillon
newsroom@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- New parking on Liverpool Road has left
some residents concerned for their safety.
Residents say new, indented street parking along
Liverpool Road has created problems with sight lines
at the intersection of Liverpool and Commerce Street.
“They made a wave-type look of the curbs, indent-
ing them to allow for parking because it gets really
busy here when there’s concerts and events, but as a
result you have no sight at that intersection,” said Ray
Willis, who has lived in the area for nearly 30 years.
“It’s indented so far that when people are parked
near the intersection you have to come almost half-
way into the road to see. I’ve been hit once there and
almost was again.”
Mr. Willis said he has been in discussions with
City staff, and was assured the first few parking spots
beside the intersection would be painted over to pre-
vent parking.
Scott Booker, Pickering’s senior co-ordinator of
engineering design and systems, said construction is
ongoing and that the City is waiting until the top layer
of asphalt goes down in 2014, after which line painting
can be done. “We will look at possibly blanking out
one parking space, that option will be looked at when
it’s time for line painting,” he noted.
In the meantime, Mr. Booker says the intersection is
safe.
“The onus is always on the driver to leave any inter-
section safely,” he said, adding drivers “might have
to exercise extra caution,” in the case of any sight line
challenges.
Mr. Willis said he would like to see ‘no parking’ mea-
sures put in place, noting it would have to extend
about 20 feet from the intersection.
“They should have thought of that when they were
constructing it. You have to go at least half way down
the street to get proper sight. It’s a safety thing, the only
solution I can think of is if they don’t allow parking or
they fill it in about 20 feet down.”

Durham Transit to introduce support
person fare card in 2014
DURHAM-- Starting in 2014, people with a disability may be
able to have a support person travel with them for free on Dur-
ham Region Transit buses.
The Durham Region Transit executive committee approved
the new measure on Oct. 16. The Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act requires transit systems to implement a support
person fare card by Jan. 1, 2014. The cards will be issued annu-
ally with three categories of eligibility -- unconditional, tempo-
rary and conditional. A Region report says financial implications
won’t be known until the program is up and running.

Event will help
entrepreneurs in Durham
Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- An initiative is being organized to let entre-
preneurs know that Durham is a place to do it.
Do it in Durham is being held to celebrate Global
Entrepreneurship Week, which is observed in 130 coun-
tries during the third week of November, and to promote
entrepreneurship among young people. DIID runs from
Nov. 18 to 21.
Sarah Peel, the public relations specialist for the Spark
Centre, said the initiative is “very focused on students,
young or early businesses.” The Spark Centre and the
Business Advisory Centre Durham are sponsoring the
event, which includes three contests with cash prizes, a
CEO forum, help with preparing a business case and a
celebration gala.
Both UOIT and Durham College “are actually teach-
ing it as a career path. Young people might say ‘this is a
career I want. I want to be my own boss,’” she added.
Another incentive to starting a business is the current
lack of hiring by existing businesses, she pointed out.
“It’s not easy, but more and more are thinking about it.”
DIID also provides entrepreneurs the chance to win
cash and ‘in-kind services’. With The Money Chase, con-
testants put together a Power Point presentation about
the business and how the money will be used. The prize
totals $5,000, with $2,500 in cash and $2,500 of profes-
sional in-kind services donated by local businesses. The Find
it in Durham Scavenger Hunt gives participants the chance to
learn about some of the resources for entrepreneurs in Durham,
and it includes a $1,000 cash prize. The Start-Up Business Case
will help participants key in on customers and markets. There’s
a total of $1,000 in prizes, including $500 to the winner, $300 for
second place and $100 for third and fourth.

A voice against
abattoir plans
To the editor:
Re: ‘Expanding the market for meat made
in Durham’, article, Oct. 31 Pickering News
Advertiser.
Every day my heart breaks for the sense-
less, cruelbehaviour of human beings.
This article appears laud the possibility of
another slaughterhouse in Durham. When
are we going to wake up and realize the
innocent animals mentioned in the article
are our fellow earthlings?
They are not here to be used, tortured
and slaughtered to appease humans. They
live on this planet as equally as any human.
They eat, sleep, breathe, love and nurture
their young and feel pain, all as much as we
do.
They are the innocent prisoners at the
hands of mankind.
Wake up, people.
Every time I pass a farm where cows,
sheep, pigs, goats, chickens or any animal
trapped on a farm for the purpose of ill
intent, I want to connect and show my love
and appreciation for them.
But find I can never look at them as I don’t
want to look in their eyes, as I would see
beauty and innocence, and I can only imag-
ine what evil awaits these wonderful, inno-
cent creatures and am deeply ashamed of
being a part of the human race.

Pickering airport foes
face a tough fight
To the editor:
Re: ‘Successful activists inspire Pickering
airport opponents,’ news, Oct. 23, durhamre-
gion.com.
As one of the people who helped in a
minor way to stop a quarry development, I
suspect it will be a lot more difficult to pre-
vent an airport in Pickering.
The quarry was outside the GTA, near the
top of the Niagara Escarpment in the middle
of a potato-farming area whereas Pickering
is already an urban area of the GTA, admit-
tedly with some farming land still in exis-
tence.
We had enough problems in persuading
Toronto Mayor David Miller that Toronto
couldn’t be a second Algonquin Park, how-
ever hard he tried, and that Porter Airlines
actually added a vibrant use of the Toronto
Islands, bringing in sorely needed business
and also out-of-province and out-of-coun-
try tourists. I dare say you will not only find
Pickering citizens who look forward to the
jobs in a new airport.
Toronto bleats about being world-class
and if compared to, let’s say, Paris and Lon-
don, where they both have at least two air-
ports, our city is lacking in that convenience.
In other words, an airport in Pickering is a
lot more relevant and justifiable than what
would have been the biggest quarry in Can-
ada in a farming area in rural Ontario.

from the sport recently after 13 years, it
brought back a flood of memories about the
athlete and the person.
Athletic careers are generally remembered
with statistics, and Felicien’s are impressive.
She is the Canadian record holder in both
the 100-metre hurdles (12.46 seconds) and
60-metre hurdles (7.75). She is a 10-time
national champion, a two-time Olympian
and a two-time Pan Am Games silver med-
allist. She competed in eight world champi-
onships over a 10-year span, winning gold
at the 2004 indoor world championships in
Budapest, and is a three-time NCAA cham-
pion.
It’s a resume that anyone would be proud
of. But in sport, the highs generally come
with lows, and Ms. Felicien had her share.
Most notable was her fall at the 2004 Athens
Olympics. Favoured to bring home a gold
medal for Canada, Ms. Felicien tripped over
a hurdle. More Olympic disappointments
were to come, in 2008 in Beijing, when she
couldn’t race because of a foot injury, and
in 2012 when she failed to make the team.
Through it all, from her earliest days on
the track, Al Rivett, the former sports edi-
tor of the Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser,
covered Ms. Felicien’s athletic endeavours.
And in the process they clicked and became
friendly, with Felicien demonstrating more
than once that she had not forgotten Mr.
Rivett and his newspaper coverage. When
Ms. Felicien was crowned Canada’s female
athlete of the year a decade ago, she men-
tioned Mr. Rivett on national television.
When they met recently after her retire-
ment announcement, he says it was as “poi-
gnant as it was sweet.”
His memories are many, but one sticks
out. After her 2003 hurdles victory at the
world championships, a dinner party was
arranged in Ms. Felicien’s honour at a com-
munity centre near her mother Cathy’s
Pickering home. Ms. Felicien invited Mr.
Rivett and his wife. But most of all, Mr. Riv-
ett remembers Felicien picking up serving
trays and ensuring everybody had food and
drink.
A humble and classy lady who worked
unbelievably hard to make it to the apex of
her sport.
Thanks for the memories, Perdita.

BE INFORMED!
“I want to do this to give back to the com-
munity that supported us.”
Connor was diagnosed with stage four
high-risk neuroblastoma in May 2009. He
needed two blood transfusions within the
first 10 days of starting chemotherapy.
Ms. Minnis says the treatment drastical-
ly reduced his blood and platelet counts,
which put him at risk of serious complica-
tions.
She is forever grateful to Canadian Blood
Services and all its donors, saying they
helped give her an extra 19 months with
her son.
According to Canadian Blood Services,
car accident victims can require up to 50
units of blood, leukemia patients may need
up to eight units per week and hip surgery
patients need two units. A unit of blood is
equivalent to one donation.
A recent poll showed 52 per cent of Cana-
dians said they or a family member have
required blood or blood products for sur-
gery or medical treatment.
Ms. Minnis says it often takes a crisis like
the one her family experienced to drive
home the need for blood.
“I can’t imagine what it would have been
like if he had needed blood and it wasn’t
there,” she says.
Connor’s Spotlight Blood Donor Clinics
take place Nov. 15 at the Pickering Recre-
ation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. and
Nov. 21 at St. Isaac Jogues Church, 1148
Finch Ave. with appointments available
from 3 to 7 p.m. both days.
About 80 donors are needed to fill all the
spots. Donors are asked to mention that
they are there for the event honouring
Connor.
To book an appointment or for more
information, contact Canadian Blood Ser-
vices at 1-888-2DONATE or www.blood.

Catch these birds
where you can
One of the added joys of visiting friends
and relatives in different locales is finding
what birds live in their neighbourhood.
Shortly after I arrived at my sister’s home
near one of the Finger Lakes in New York
State this week I was at the kitchen win-
dow checking out their feeder. And the
first bird I spotted was the very one I was
hoping to see: a tufted titmouse.
These cute, perky relatives of chicka-
dees -- slightly larger and sturdier, but a
mouse-grey, with a fluffy crest -- act much
like their cousins at a feeder, zipping in to
grab a sunflower seed, then flying off to a
nearby branch to shell and devour it. You
have about a second and a half to check
one out before it’s gone again. Fortunate-
ly, they often hang about in family groups
after breeding season, so if you keep
watching, another will be along shortly,
or the first one will be back.
The mixed flock of little birds coming
and going in my sister’s yard was so busy
feeding that I got great views of the tit-
mice’s white face, black forehead and big
black eyes. Some individuals were paler
than others, the cinnamon wash on their
flanks less noticeable -- likely this year’s
young. When I got out my binoculars I
was able to see their grey legs and feet,
and those long toes so well adapted to
holding a seed as large as an acorn while
they pick off the shell with their sturdy
little bills, then eat the meat in dainty
bites.
Very much a southern, Carolinian spe-
cies, tufted titmice have been expanding
their range northward through Michi-
gan, Upper New York and southwestern
Ontario in recent decades, taking advan-
tage of bird feeding stations that peo-
ple stock through winter. They also eat
acorns, beechnuts and berries, while in
summer they’re caterpillar specialists,
even attacking wriggling hordes of web-
worm.
Real homebodies instead of migrants,
they nest in cavities in deciduous woods,
incubating five or six brown-speckled,
cream-coloured eggs. I’ve been hop-
ing these energetic little birds, always a
favourite, will start breeding in Durham
Region with the advent of global warm-
ing, filling woods throughout the Oak
Ridges Moraine with their ringing “peter,
peter, peter,” songs. But while acorns
make up about 40 per cent of the species’
winter diet, they seem to have a definite
preference for pin oaks, not the red oaks
so prevalent here.
I’ve seen them in Durham in the past,
likely young ones setting off from home
to seek a territory of their own. Twice I’ve
even had a titmouse visit my feeder for
a day or two, causing a flurry of excite-
ment. But they’ve never stayed around
to become a permanent resident, so we
have to enjoy them wherever we can find
them.

Guelph cancer
centre helps
Durham pets, too
New campaign hopes
to Keep Cancer on a
Leash
I was shocked to learn this week that
one in four dogs and one in eight cats
dies of cancer.
This heartbreaking information came
to me in a press release about a new cam-
paign by the Ontario Veterinary College’s
Pet Trust.
I guess I shouldn’t have been too
shocked -- our wonderful family pet, a
beautiful white golden retriever named
Luna, died of cancer when she was just
six years old. In fact, the information
sent out by OVC says 60 per cent of gold-
en retrievers die of cancer. A number of
friends have lost their pets to cancer too.
According to Dr. Paul Woods, a vet-
erinary medical oncologist at OVC’s
Mona Campbell Centre for Animal Can-
cer, the Keep Cancer on a Leash initia-
tive is meant to raise awareness on ani-
mal cancers, and to let owners know that
although learning your pet has cancer is
tough, there have been many advance-
ments made in this area. Although not
all cancers can be removed, not all are a
death sentence either. And when it can’t
be fixed, there are treatments that can
prolong your pet’s life, or at least make
the remainder of your pet’s life enjoy-
able.
“What we’re shooting for is good qual-
ity of life,” says Dr. Woods.
Dr. Woods says pet owners should be
aware of some of the possible signs of
cancer -- many of which are similar to
those in humans -- such as lumps and
bumps, wounds or sores that don’t heal,
abnormal discharges, listlessness or leth-
argy and decreased appetite.
A tail-waggingly cute video called ‘We
can be heroes’ was part of the launch to
support pet cancer treatment. Watch it at
ovc.uoguelph.ca/pettrust. Some dog sur-
vivors are featured in the video.
Dr. Woods says OVC will care for ani-
mals from Durham, but they’ll also help
coach veterinarians on the treatments
themselves if treating them locally is pos-
sible.
“We support the vets in Durham and
throughout Ontario and Canada really,”
he says.
Dr. Woods noted that the research ben-
efits humans as well, since dogs develop
many of the same types of cancer as peo-
ple do. These include lymphoma, osteo-
sarcoma, melanoma and bladder cancer.
By better understanding dog cancers, it
can help better understand how cancers
develop and how to treat them in humans
too.
OVC’s Mona Campbell Centre for Ani-
mal Cancer was built in 2012 as a com-
prehensive animal cancer treatment
and research centre. It has a great staff,
including surgical, radiation, and medi-
cal oncologists, technicians, and even
counsellors to help families make tough
decisions.
The centre offers the most advanced
tools for cancer diagnosis, treatment and
teaching.
There are still advancements to be
made in cancer treatment for animals, so
the campaign is also meant to raise funds
in order to make it better.
It’s being sponsored by Nestle Purina,
so for every dollar donated, the company
will match up to $125,000. Visit pettrust.
ca to make a donation.
Cats need a home
A couple of female adult cats have been at
Whitby Animal Services for a long time and
staff hopes someone will adopt them. The
fee is $50.85. Both have been spayed and
have their rabies shot and vaccines. Once of
the cats is declawed. Call 905-655-0283.

Your Life: Your guide
to winter backcountry
camping
Video series with
Gagnon Sports on
durhamregion.com
Next week’s video series on durhamre-
gion.com is a guide to winter backcountry
camping with manager Justin Pardy from
Oshawa’s Gagnon Sports.
Stay with us as we have a tip for every day
of the week, providing you with valuable
information and showcasing some of the
latest and greatest camping technology.
Mr. Pardy has grown up in the outdoor
industry working at his family business,
now in its 40th year. He spent most of his
childhood fishing and hunting with his
family in the Northern Ontario wilder-
ness. After high school, Mr. Pardy found
employment in the logging industry, gain-
ing valuable survival skills while posted at
remote bush camps, where bear and wolf
sightings occurred regularly.
He returned to his family business,
Gagnon Sports, in 2007.

Series breakdown:
• Monday, Nov. 11: Layering
Layering is key to keeping warm.
It’s also important to use a material
that absorbs all moisture. Remem-
ber to avoid cotton.
• Tuesday, Nov. 12: Socks
Socks are one of the most impor-
tant pieces to pack. Mr. Pardy elab-
orates on the importance of the
wicking aspect.
• Wednesday, Nov. 13: Footwear
Check out some good quality boots
that are waterproof and water
repellent.
• Thursday, Nov. 14: Tent
Mr. Pardy suggests using a four-
season tent. A good insulated
sleeping pad is also important to
keep the heat in and eliminate
moisture.
• Friday, Nov. 15: Hydration
It’s important to always stay
hydrated. Mr. Pardy suggests put-
ting water bottles in a wool sock or
insulated bottle cover.
• Saturday, Nov. 16: Sleeping gear
If moving fast in the backcountry is a
concern, you need the lightest, most
packable bag that you can get your
hands on.
• Sunday, Nov. 17: Dinner
Always pack extra fuel. Mr. Pardy
suggests starting with soup to keep
the body warm and to add lots of
carbohydrates to maintain energy.
The mummy shape is best for effi-
cient insulation and smaller pack
size.

Durham CAS looks
to Region for support
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Durham Children’s Aid
Society continues to struggle with funding
cuts and says there is a risk of children “falling
through the cracks” if changes aren’t made.
Executive director Wanda Secord brought
the issue to regional council’s health and
social services committee on Oct. 31. “Our
worry is it will really erode our ability to serve
kids and families,” she said, referring to a new
funding formula that took effect last spring.
The new formula calculates funding based
half on socioeconomic factors -- such as the
population of children under 15 -- and half
on historical expenditures.
Funding was previously calculated based
100 per cent on historical expenditures.
In Durham’s case the change translates to
cuts, because the number of children in the
region is holding steady or declining.
By the time the new funding formula fully
rolls out, the Durham CAS budget will be
reduced by about $10 million.
Ms. Secord says the organization is already
making significant changes, including cost
containment and staff cuts.
Durham CAS is asking regional politicians
to help by calling on the Province to support
three priorities: to allow any surplus achieved
through cost containment to be applied
against future deficit projections, continue
providing transitional funding to address the
gap between last year’s spending and future
needs, and ensure adequate resources for
children with complex special needs who do
not require protection services.
Regional council is expected to consider a
resolution at its Nov. 20 meeting.
Be a Santa to a
Senior trees now
in Durham stores
DURHAM -- Durham resi-
dents can help make the holi-
days brighter for local seniors
through the annual Be a Santa
to a Senior program.
Over the past seven years,
the campaign, run by Home
Instead Senior Care, has seen
thousands of gifts distributed.
This year, participating
businesses include Wilmot
Creek, Lovell Drugs, Health-
Rite, Shoppers Home Health,
Giant Tiger and Curves gyms.
Christmas trees will be on
display in the stores until Dec.
9 featuring paper ornaments
with the first name of a senior
and their gift request.
Shoppers are asked to
pick an ornament, buy the
requested item and return it
unwrapped with the ornament
attached.
“The Be a Santa to a
Senior is a great way to give

Friday a big night
for Durham’s arts
community
A message from
Durham Tourism
Durham Region celebrates its cre-
ative community on Friday night at
the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
It’s quickly turning into my favou-
rite fall tradition: the third annual
Durham Art of Transition Creative
Awards (DATCA) ceremony is com-
ing up this Friday, and you’re invit-
ed. This is an open invitation to join
us on Nov. 8 at the Robert McLaugh-
lin Gallery for a fabulous evening to
celebrate the dynamic individuals
and groups who are making a real
difference in our community.
You may have heard of the Art of
Transition before. It sprang to life in
2009 at a fall symposium led by the
Regional Municipality of Durham’s
economic development and tour-
ism division. That year, the event
featured a stimulating talk by the cel-
ebrated author Dr. Richard Florida.
In his keynote address, Dr. Florida
explored how Durham Region can
achieve long-term economic pros-
perity by embracing and engaging
the creative class.
Our community was inspired by
this vision. As a result, the Art of
Transition has become a forum for
diverse creative thinkers, makers
and innovators who live and work
in our area. With year-long touch
points such as the roving Creative Social events
in 2012, this summer’s Ignite 2013 Finale extrav-
aganza, and the recent “Meet ‘n Tweet” gather-
ing, the artistic and creative community have
rallied around DATCA to meet new collabora-
tors and share ideas. The annual fall awards
ceremony is a celebration of the year’s work, and
a chance to be inspired by the possibility that lies
ahead.
An exciting development this year is the launch
of an important new award category: Best exam-
ple of philanthropy in the arts. This new award
will be presented to an individual or group dem-
onstrating generosity or leadership in support of
the arts in Durham Region.
The reception will kick off at 6:30 p.m. at the
gallery, 72 Queen St., Oshawa. The awards cer-
emony begins at 7 p.m., and admission is free.

Lakeridge Health named Green
Hospital of
the Year
DURHAM -- The Ontario Hospital Asso-
ciation named Lakeridge Health as the
Green Hospital of the Year at the Health-
Achieve conference on Nov. 4.
“From new light bulbs to solar pan-
els on our roof, we’re working hard to
be leaders at energy efficiency in health
care,” says Kevin Empey, president and
CEO of Lakeridge Health.
Last year, the hospital implemented
an energy efficiency plan that includ-
ed replacing lights with high-efficiency
LED models, eliminating steam systems
with boilers and using a web application
to track energy use.
Lakeridge Health also participated in
an alkaline battery and electronic waste
recycling program, which prevented 6.5
metric tonnes of waste from going into
landfills last year.
The award is decided by popular vote
among all hospital staff in the province
to choose from five finalists.

Is there a “sIlent kIller” lurkIng In your home?
(NC)— Known as the “silent killer” carbon monoxide takes the life of hundreds of North Americans every year. It is actually the leading cause of fatal poisonings in North America. You can’t see it smell it or taste it. It may be lurking in your home and, if not guarded against, can kill you and your loved ones while you sleep. C a r b o n monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless deadly gas that can be produced by any appliance, engine or heating device that uses combustible fuel such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood or charcoal. Carbon monoxide can leak into the home when a fuel-burning device is poorly maintained, improperly vented or breaks down. Other potential sources include automobiles left running in attached garages, clogged or blocked chimney openings, inadequate venting, malfunctioning appliances or the operation of a barbecue in an enclosed area such as your home or garage. When inhaled it CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen throughout the body. It can poison the body quickly in high concentrations, or slowly over long periods of time. Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea and dizziness, burning eyes, confusion, drowsiness and even loss of consciousness. In severe cases, CO poisoning can cause brain damage and death. The elderly, children and people with heart or respiratory conditions may be particularly sensitive to CO. According to Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Marketing and Business Development for Reliance Protectron Security Services, the best defense against carbon monoxide poisoning is detection and prevention. “The only way to detect this deadly gas is by installing carbon monoxide detectors,” De Luca explained, recommending that detectors be
installed on each level of your home. “At minimum, one should be installed outside every sleeping level.” De Luca stressed the importance of having the CO detectors linked to a monitoring centre since many of those killed or injured by carbon monoxide are asleep at the time of exposure and timing is crucial for alerting emergency help. “ P r o t e c t r o n carbon monoxide detectors offer valuable protection by alerting you to the presence this gas and notifying the monitoring centre, which will immediately take the appropriate measures to help you,” he added.
Protect your family from carbon monoxide poisoning
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term,
goal-oriented, evidence-based alternative
to medication.
In fact, study after study has shown CBT to be as
effective as pills for the treatment of depression and
more effective than pills for the treatment of anxiety.

NOVEMBER 11, 2013 NOVEMBER 11, 2013Lest We Forget Lest We Forget
Remembrance Day in Canada is a day to commemorate members of the armed forces. Remembrance Day is observed each year on November 11 because that marks the of cial end of World War I in 1918. On that day,
the Germans of cially signed the armistice, an agreement that of cially put an end to the ghting in WWI. That’s one reason why Remembrance Day is often referred to as Armistice Day. Though the day has a signi cant
connection to World War I, it also honors the men and women who fought for Canada in World War II, the Korean War and those who continue to serve in the military. Over the years, more than 1.5 million Canadians
have fought for their country and to defend the rights and freedoms of non-Canadians as well. Among the Remembrance Day traditions is
the wearing of poppies, which are worn as the symbol of remembrance and a reminder of the blood-red ower that grows on the former
battle elds of France and Belgium.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, y
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders elds.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders elds.
To this day McCrae’s poem remains among the
most memorable war poems ever written. It also
paved the way for the poppy ower to be one of the
most recognized symbols of wartime remembrance.
Thousands of poppies are placed on the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier, and Remembrance Day participants

NOVEMBER 11, 2013 NOVEMBER 11, 2013Lest We Forget Lest We Forget
Remembrance Day in Canada is a day to commemorate members of the armed forces. Remembrance Day is observed each year on November 11 because that marks the of cial end of World War I in 1918. On that day,
the Germans of cially signed the armistice, an agreement that of cially put an end to the ghting in WWI. That’s one reason why Remembrance Day is often referred to as Armistice Day. Though the day has a signi cant
connection to World War I, it also honors the men and women who fought for Canada in World War II, the Korean War and those who continue to serve in the military. Over the years, more than 1.5 million Canadians
have fought for their country and to defend the rights and freedoms of non-Canadians as well. Among the Remembrance Day traditions is
the wearing of poppies, which are worn as the symbol of remembrance and a reminder of the blood-red ower that grows on the former
battle elds of France and Belgium.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, y
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders elds.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders elds.
To this day McCrae’s poem remains among the
most memorable war poems ever written. It also
paved the way for the poppy ower to be one of the
most recognized symbols of wartime remembrance.
Thousands of poppies are placed on the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier, and Remembrance Day participants

Durham to investigate
region-wide air
monitoring program
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Region of Durham is
looking into the pros and cons of starting
its own local air monitoring program.
On Oct. 30 regional council directed
staff to prepare a report on the logistics
of a program that would include a mobile
monitoring station.
Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster and
Clarington Councillor Mary Novak moved
the motion. They stressed it’s not about
beefing up monitoring for the Courtice
incinerator.
“It’s not related to the incinerator... it’s
related to air quality across Durham,”
Mayor Foster said, noting the mobile units
are used by Hamilton, Halton and York.
“They are very popular in other areas.”
Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medi-
cal officer of health, said careful thought
should be given to whether the Region
has the resources and expertise to use the
technology and interpret the data.
He also stressed there are limitations to
localized monitor-
ing.
“With respect to
air sheds in general,
they don’t respect
municipal boundar-
ies,” he noted. “Just
because you can
measure an air con-
taminant doesn’t
mean you can attri-
bute its presence...to
a local source.”
The Ministry of the Environment oper-
ates air monitoring stations across the
province, which are used to generate the
Air Quality Index.
In recent years some municipalities
have initiated their own local air monitor-
ing programs as well.
Halton Region was the first to use its
own fixed and mobile monitors to test for
ground-level ozone, fine particulate mat-
ter, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and
carbon monoxide.
The data collected is used by Halton
Region to support public education pro-
grams and policy development.
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was among
those who voted against the motion call-
ing it “politically motivated” and say-
ing there is nothing constructive to be
gained.
The report will come back to a future
committee meeting.
Dr. Robert Kyle

A DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP ADVERTISING FEATURE
Research published online in the publication Cell
Metabolism last year suggests that chronically high
levels of insulin may be an important underlying cause
of obesity.
Previously, experts thought that insulin levels
became elevated in response to obesity and the insulin
resistance that accompanies it. These fi ndings offer hope
that treatments to keep insulin in a healthy range may
reduce the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The study
was completed by Dr. James Johnson at the University
of British Columbia and was funded in part by the
Canadian Diabetes Association.
Previous notions have concluded that high insulin
levels are a result of obesity; however this study based
on animal research now suggests otherwise. People who
follow a high-fat diet and meal plan by consuming small
amounts of food and snacks throughout the day may
experience weight gain because their bodies produce
higher levels of insulin, which can lead to obesity – a risk
factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Further research
needs to be completed to determine how these fi ndings
can be applied medically; however the results suggest
that different dietary patterns may contribute to healthy
insulin levels. This can be accomplished by eating meals
at regular times throughout the day, having smaller
portion sizes and consuming fewer snacks.
“Dr. Johnson’s work provides important new insights
on the role of the body’s own insulin levels in maintaining
a healthy weight and preventing type 2 diabetes,” said
Dr. Janet Hux, chief scientifi c advisor for the Canadian
Diabetes Association, in a statement
issued earlier this year.
Canada has a growing aging
population, while more than 60
per cent of Canadians are either
overweight or obese. These factors,
combined with an increase in
sedentary lifestyles, will continue to
drive growing diabetes prevalence,
with many people being diagnosed
with diabetes at younger ages. It is estimated however
that more than 50 per cent of type 2 diabetes cases
could be prevented or delayed with healthier eating and
increased physical activity.
“Diabetes is an epidemic in our country,” notes Hux.
There are more than nine-million Canadians living with
diabetes or prediabetes.
Diabetes drug may improve ovarian cancer survival
The diabetes drug metformin may play a role in longer
survival for women with ovarian cancer. A recent Mayo
Clinic study reports that women with ovarian cancer
who were taking metformin to manage their diabetes
had a better survival rate than did women with ovarian
cancer who weren’t taking metformin.
In recent years, other studies have suggested
metformin may have anti-cancer effects on a number of
cancers, including prostate, colon, pancreas and brain
cancers.
The Mayo study drew from a data pool of women
with ovarian cancer. Researchers found that 67 per cent
of the women who took metformin for diabetes survived
after fi ve years compared with 47 per cent survival for
those who weren’t taking metformin. Once other aspects
were factored in, those who took metformin were nearly
three times more likely to survive.
Mayo Clinic researchers say their fi ndings pave the
way for further exploration into the use of metformin in
the overall treatment of ovarian cancer.
Diabetes victims at higher risk for fl u, stroke
The Ontario Lung Association lists diabetes sufferers
among high-risk Canadians for whom an annual fl u shot
is recommended.
Infl uenza affl icts millions of Canadians every year.
Up to 20,000 cases are serious enough to end up in the
hospital and up to 8,000 Canadians can die in a given
year from the fl u and its complications.
November is Lung Month, a time when vulnerable
Canadians are urged to get a fl u shot, still the best
defence against the fever, chills, cough, headache and
aching muscles infl icted by this seasonal virus, says the
Lung Association.
Canada’s National Advisory Committee on
Immunization says that every Canadian should get the
fl u shot, but especially those at high risk of fl u-related
complications including:
• anyone with a weakened immune system or suffering
from a chronic health condition such as asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, diabetes
and cancer;
• anyone 65 or over and all children aged six to 59
months;
• residents of nursing homes.
Pneumococcal infection is the most common
complication of seasonal fl u and can lead to serious
illnesses such as pneumonia and meningitis. Medical
guidelines recommend at least one pneumococcal
vaccination for at-risk individuals, possibly repeated in
fi ve to 10 years.

Durham band Zed Head straddles
the Canadian/U.S. border
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- John Burkitt says southern/
Texas blues is the best music in the world.
And it’s hard not to agree when you listen
to the Oshawa resident and his band, Zed
Head, on their disc Mortal Man, a smoul-
dering, high-energy ride.
This is a band that is physically here in
Ontario, but its soul is certainly in the U.S.
south.
“I tell people, ‘sure, we might be from
Canada, but we’re from the deep south of
Canada,” Burkitt says. “Zed Head spends
a lot of time in Louisiana and Texas. It all
rubs off on you, especially the lyrical con-
tent. It’s all based on re-telling of stories
and our exploits down there.”
The song Cheapseats, for example, is the
nickname of Donnie Woods, an electrical
contractor in Marshall, Texas, who treats
the band like gold when they’re visiting.
Texas blues, Burkitt says, came about after
delta blues was adopted overseas by musi-
cians in Great Britain, like Eric Clapton,
and then returned home to the U.S. south,
where it morphed into a unique kind of
boogie blues.
“I think it’s the true tangible soul of the
south,” he says.
Burkitt and guitarist Neil Chapman have
known each other since grade school and
often bumped into one another and said
they had to make some music togeth-
er. Sharing a love of southern blues, they
recorded their first tracks in 2005/2006
and started playing live around a year later.
Their disc, Texas Cufflinks, morphed into
Mortal Man.
Burkitt generally takes care of the lyrics
and everybody contributes to the music.
The band is on a high lately, following the
release of the disc in 2011. They’re opening
for Molly Hatchett in Scarborough on Nov.
16, will be heading to the U.S. on an east
coast tour early next year, and have been
asked to perform at Vetfest 2014 in April in
Hampton, Florida.
Their music has been heard on the TV
show Outlaw Bikers and extensively on Bike
TV. Zed Head’s motto is “Harleys Hum-
buckers and Hot Roots Rock” and this is a
band that loves Harleys.
“I’m a big fan,” Burkitt says. “A few of us in
the band are Harley Davidson enthusiasts.
It’s another way of life and very prevalent
down south.”
He says when the band is in the U.S. “we
fly the flag quite proudly and let everybody
know where we’re from.”
Zed Head’s touring lineup for early next
year is Burkitt (‘Fog Johnny’ or ‘The Fog-
man’) on bass, Chapman (‘The Big E’) from
Sutton, guitarist Trevor Horsfall from Ajax,
and drummer Tony ‘Noshirtco’ Nolasco
and harp player ‘Smilin’ Bob Adams, both
from Toronto. Local drummer Jim MacA-
free from Bowmanville can’t make the trip
south as he’s a British citizen and Burkitt
says there are documentation issues.
Zed Head is working on its next CD, ten-
tatively titled Valley of Fire, and Burkitt says
it should be completed in six months or so.
With summer over, he says the band will
be playing local gigs in the coming months.
But first see them at The Rockpile Bar and
Nightclub, 2787a Eglinton Ave. E. (at Brim-
ley Road), Scarborough. Tickets for the
show are available at the Down’omer, 522
Ritson Rd. S., Oshawa.
Check out the band’s website, zedhead.
ca, where you can buy the disc and learn
more.

E’ Chapman at the Beaches Jazz Festival in Toronto. The band’s Mortal Man CD has
attracted attention and been played around the world.

Kertsos
scores a golf
scholarship
St. Mary student
finishes first at LOSSA,
second at OFSAA
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- It all came together this year
for Crystina Kertsos.
The Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catho-
lic Secondary School will graduate with the
knowledge she is the top female golfer in the
area, and second best in the province. When
she enrols at Division-I Longwood Univer-
sity in Farmville, Virginia in the fall of 2014,
the Lancers will have the knowledge they are
getting a good one.
The Pickering resident won the LOSSA
championship at Lakeridge Links by shoot-
ing a 77, besting the rest of the field by a com-
fortable seven strokes. At the OFSAA cham-
pionship at the Shanty Bay Golf Club near
Barrie she fired a 73, tied for second, winning
the silver medal in a one-hole playoff.
“I didn’t know for sure, but I thought I
would have a chance if I could play well, but
there were a couple of other really good com-
petitors in the field,” she says of the LOSSA
finish, besting the fourth-place finish she
had a year ago.
At OFSAA, she was looking to move up
from the 43rd place showing of a year ago.
“I did not think I was going to do as well as I
did,” she admits. “The playoff was complete-
ly different and it was my first time ever in a
playoff so my heart was racing really badly.
“Not going in there with any expectations,
I guess is what allowed me to play my game
and perform well.”
She honed her game over the summer by
playing in 17 Golf Association of Ontario
tournaments, posting a number of top-10
finishes, and whittling her handicap down to
a two.
She credits signing with Longwood as help-
ing build her confidence. The transition to
university life will be a little smoother, aided
by good friend Courtney Tolton, who is in
her freshman year on the Lancers golf team.
“It was a great atmosphere, a great coach.
The coach (Ali Wright) is nice and I’ve been
talking to her for a while,” says Kertsos of vis-
iting the campus. “There was a great con-
nection. The other members of the team
were really welcoming. They weren’t like, oh,
you’re Canadian. We don’t like Canadians.”
She also liked the fact the school is a little
smaller, allowing students better access to
the profs, especially those on varsity teams
who do a lot of travel during their respective
seasons.
Golfing is in the blood of the Kertsos fam-
ily. Her dad, Chris, a member of the Cana-
dian Seniors Golf Association, recently
returned from Scotland where he represent-
ed Canada in an international event that also
included the United States and Great Britain.
The 22-member Canadian team that ranged
in age from 55 to over 70, finished second
overall in individual and partner match play
events.
The 55-64 age group that Chris was a part
of actually won their segment.
PICKERING -- Crystina Kertsos won the LOSSA girls’ golf championship and finished
second at the OFSAA championships. She will be on a scholarship at Longwood
University in Virginia beginning in the fall of 2014. Her dad Chris represented Canada
at an international event in Scotland.

Panthers hunting
for a goal scorer
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Something’s missing from
the Pickering Panthers, and GM/head
coach Mike Galati is determined to fill the
hole.
Through 19 games, the Panthers are a
respectable third in the North Division of
the Ontario Junior Hockey League with a
record of 7-9-2-1. But of those 12 losses,
five have been by just one goal.
Goaltender Steven Dombrosky leads all
netminders in minutes played and saves,
so he is giving the hockey club a chance to
win each time. And leading scorers Bro-
die Tutton (9-10-19) and Michael Walker
(8-7-15) are doing their part, praised by
Galati for their efforts.
But there is still a need for a consis-
tent scorer, a difference maker who could
change the end result of those close
games.
“We’ve got one of the hardest-working
teams. They work hard in every game and
outwork a lot of teams, but I think we’re
missing that guy who scores all the time,”
said Galati. “Sometimes in those one-goal
games that’s the difference. A lot of games
we get up by a goal or two early, and we
keep the pressure on. We don’t have that
guy who makes it 3-0 and puts games out
of reach.”
Galati added that he is actively pursu-
ing a scorer, hoping to have something in
place by the weekend.
Moving some bodies around is some-
thing the Panthers have avoided this sea-
son, opting for stability in the lineup. In
the past couple of seasons there has been
a steady exodus of players leaving and
new ones coming in, but not so this time
around.
“Last year we had to build and acquire
18 to 20 guys,” said Galati of the overhaul.
“Coming into this year we had a lot of guys
returning and we decided to give them an
opportunity. So far, it’s been pretty good
but we need a little bit more.”
The Panthers were involved in a pair
of one-goal games on home ice over the
weekend, earning a split. Friday they got
goals from Ian Chen and Tutton, but were
nipped 3-2 by North York.
On Sunday, Robert Cammalleri scored
the eventual winner in a 5-4 shootout win
over Lindsay that went into the fourth
round. Nicholas Lepone also scored in the
shootout.
It will be a busy few days for the Panthers
with games Wednesday at Toronto Lake-
shore and Thursday in Stouffville, wrap-
ping up against Georgetown on Sunday
at 6:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation
Complex.
AJAX -- A weekend western road trip wasn’t
perfect, but it was the next best thing for the
Durham West Jr. Lightning.
The Lightning earned three of a possible
four points with a win and overtime tie in Pro-
vincial Women’s Hockey League play.
Saturday against Bluewater, goals were
hard to come by in a 1-1 overtime tie. Both
markers came in the second period, Ken-
nedy Marchment notching her team-leading
ninth goal of the season to square the game
1-1 at the time.
Finishing up in Southwest on Sunday
afternoon, the Lightning got a pair of goals
from Emily Jukosky and another from Katrina
Manoukarakis in a 3-0 win. Jukosky opened
the scoring in the first period and both of
Manoukarakis’s goals came in the third peri-
od. Melissa Black recorded the shutout, per-
fect on all 21 Southwest shots she faced.
The weekend helped the Lightning keep
hold of second place in the standings with a
7-2-1 record, four points back of Toronto and
one up on both Ottawa and Whitby.
Durham West. Jr. Lightning earn three of four points on successful western road trip

St. Mary reaches
LOSSA senior
football final
OSHAWA -- For the first time in nearly a
decade, there will be no Oshawa or Whitby
teams in the LOSSA Tier 1 senior boys’
football final.
The local football season comes to a cli-
max Saturday at Civic Fields, where five
title games are on tap, beginning at 10 a.m.
and running into the evening.
The big game, the senior AAAA Tier 1
final, will kick off at around 8 p.m. and
see Courtice’s Holy Trinity Titans trying to
upset Pickering’s St. Mary Monarchs, who
have yet to taste defeat.
St. Mary advanced to the final with a
35-14 semifinal win over Oshawa’s Dwyer
Saints Tuesday. Josh Henry and Alonzo
Addae had two touchdowns each for the
Monarchs, while Keegan Brand and quar-
terback Drew Pottle found the end zone for
the Saints.
In the other Tier 1 senior semifinal, Bren-
don Joachim scored a touchdown and Dan
Lay had three field goals to lift the Titans
past the Pickering Trojans 17-6.
Whitby’s Donald A. Wilson Gators, the
defending champion and winner of five of
the previous six titles, experienced a down
season and were eliminated by the Saints
in the quarter-finals, 25-13.
The Tier 1 junior final at 12:30 p.m. will see
the Dwyer Saints taking on the Pickering
Trojans. Dwyer defeated Holy Trinity 39-6
and Pickering edged the St. Stephen Royals
29-26 Tuesday.
The Tier 2 senior AAAA final, at 3 p.m.,
pits Oshawa’s O’Neill Red Hawks against
Whitby’s Sinclair Celtics. O’Neill beat
Pine Ridge 27-14 Tuesday, and Sinclair
squeaked past Richardson 14-9.
The senior AA/AAA championship
game, at 5:30 p.m., will see Eastdale take
on St. Stephen. The Eagles won 35-12 over
Bowmanville Tuesday, while the Royals
earned a bye.
