WINTER WO RK PROGRAM YourWinterProgramGuide isavailableonline&inCity Facilities. pickering.ca/cityguide Call for more transparency on Pickering council expenses Councillor wants to see monthly online reports Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering coun- cillor is calling for council expens- es to be published online on a monthly basis, saying the change could help rebuild public trust in politicians. Councillor Bill McLean plans to move a motion at council’s Dec. 9 meeting. “I want to help build public trust back up in all politicians,” he said, noting recent scandals and cor- ruption in Ottawa and Toronto are further eroding the percep- tion of elected officials. Pickering council expenses are already reported on an annual basis, but only as part of a report to council. There is no dedicated spot on the City’s website where members of the public can easily find the information -- they would have to search for the council report. Coun. McLean says his motion would provide needed transpar- ency. See COUNCILLOR page 12 Pickering teen says peaceis a radical lifestyle PICKERING -- Alyssa Esparaz, a Grade 11 student at Dunbarton High School, received the YMCA Peace Medallion from the YMCA of Greater Toronto at the school. The medal recognizes individuals building peace in their communities and inspiring the lives of others. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As far as Alyssa Esparaz is concerned, peace isn’t just the absence of war. “Peace is loud. Peace is pas- sionate. Peace is action. Peace is a bold pursuit of justice, a reck- less love of neighbour,” the local 16 year old writes in a recent blog post. “More than anything else, peace is a lifestyle. A radical one.” For the past five years, Alyssa has used her blog to raise aware- ness of social justice issues such as poverty and modern-day slav- ery. Her goal is to motivate others to get informed and get involved. Most recently she blogged about the devastating impact of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philip- pines, encouraging readers to donate to aid organizations.

In October, Coun. Dickerson filed a formal complaint after Coun. O’Connell said he commit- ted “fraud” during a heated Sept. 16 council meeting, which includ- ed a failed motion to remove him from his roles as deputy mayor and chairman of the Veridian board.

Police said the man was found pinned beneath the car in the driveway of his Marksbury Road home at 7:15 a.m. on Nov. 21. Investigators determined that moments earlier the man tripped while getting out of his car and fell onto the ground. His Hyundai Accent began to roll back- wards in reverse and trapped him underneath the driver’s side. Pickering Fire Services freed the victim and he was rushed by ambulance to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The man’s family has requested that his name not be released. The area around the home was closed for sever- al hours while police collected evidence. The incident was ruled a sudden death and police don’t suspect foul play. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is asked to call police at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5256. Anonymous information can be sent to Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.

In October, Coun. Dickerson filed a formal complaint after Coun. O’Connell said he committed “fraud” during a heated Sept. 16 council meeting, which included a failed motion to remove him from his roles as deputy mayor and chair- man of the Veridian board. Her comments related to Coun. Dickerson pleading guilty to two counts of contravening the Munici- pal Elections Act. In his complaint, he calls her remarks “disturbing, disgusting and totally without foundation” and says they violate the Pickering Code of Conduct. Councillor O’Connell subse- quently clarified her comments during council’s Nov. 11 executive committee meeting. “I never intended to impugn Councillor Dickerson by using the term fraud,” she said, adding that she did not intend to suggest he was criminally charged with anything. Coun. O’Connell also sent an e-mail to integrity Doug Dickerson Jennifer O’Connell commissioner Suzanne Craig, noting she regretted any offence that was taken. “Based on your comments to me of an understanding of the obligations of the Code of Conduct, your public comments at the November 11 executive committee meeting and your e-mail to me, I am satisfied that I do not require an investiga- tion to conclude this matter,” Ms. Craig said in a Nov. 14 letter. Coun. O’Connell still maintains that she did not violate the code of conduct and says she feels “vindicated” by the deci- sion. Coun. Dickerson said in a statement that he is satisfied with the outcome. “If the lesson learned is to not utter comments with respect to colleagues without giving a lot of consideration, I will con- sider the job of the integrity commissioner completed, the file closed, and will continue to move forward with the real busi- ness of the City,” he said. Coun. Dickerson’s complaint to the integrity commissioner also alleged Coun. O’Connell attempted to influence Council- lor Kevin’s Ashe’s vote on the motion to remove Coun. Dicker- son as deputy mayor and Veridian chairman. Ms. Craig says she spoke with members of council and reviewed a DVD of the Sept. 16 meeting, before deciding to dismiss that complaint. Page 8 - Today’s editorial War over words Coun. Dickerson called out on “young lady” reference The war over words continued at council’s Nov. 18 meeting, when Councillor Bill McLean called on Councillor Doug Dickerson to apologize for referring to Councillor Jen- nifer O’Connell as “young lady” at the Sept. 16 meeting. “If that young lady is going to suggest she knows democracy better than I do, I don’t think so,” Coun. Dicker- son had said, in response to Coun. O’Connell’s statements that he had committed fraud. Coun. McLean said as “a father, a grandfather and a councillor,” he was “personally insulted” by Coun. Dicker- son’s choice of words. Coun. Dickerson did not apologize or address the issue during the council meeting. In an interview afterwards he called Coun. McLean’s request “political grandstanding” and said he has no plans to apologize. “What is she, if not that?” he said. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 4 AP Visit target.ca for more locations, weekly flyers and much more. © 2013 Target Brands, Inc.

HDR Corporation has been selected to do the study at a cost of about $95,000. The study will be managed by the City, but funded entirely by Ontario Power Generation. It will look at direct and indirect job losses as well as potential loss of tax revenue. In 2010 Ontario Power Generation announced that the Pickering B plant would not be refurbished and that Pickering A and B stations would be retired in 2020. The findings of the study will be present- ed to council by July 2014. Aging bridge needs repair Pickering is looking to a new provincial grant to help fix an aging bridge. Michell Bridge, located on Seventh Con- cession Road west of Sideline 32, was built in 1962 over Reesor Creek. A major rehabilita- tion is needed with a price tag of $520,000. The Province recently introduced the Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infra- structure Fund to support road, bridge, water and wastewater projects. Pickering is eligi- ble to apply, because its population is under 100,000. The City is requesting grant funding to cover 90 per cent of the cost for a total of $468,000. If the grant application is success- ful, the project is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2015. Pay your parking ticket with toys or food Pickering’s fifth annual Toys for Tickets and Food for Fines program will again see toys or groceries accepted in lieu of payment for park- ing tickets. Donations will go to the Durham Regional Police Food and Toy Drive. Tickets issued between Dec. 1 and 13 are eligible. Donations must be dropped off at City Hall on Dec. 12 or 13 with a receipt that confirms the value of the donation equals or exceeds the fine. Tickets for parking in acces- sible spaces are not eligible for the program. Since the program started in 2009, close to $7,000 in toys and food have been donated. No parking near Islamic centre Pickering council has approved a bylaw amendment to address parking concerns in the hamlet of Cherrywood. At issue is overflow parking during events at the Al Mahdi Islamic Community Centre. When vehicles park on both sides of the streets, Third Concession and Rosebank roads are reduced to single-travel lanes. A City report says the situation has cre- ated safety concerns for drivers and raised the possibility that emergency vehicles may not be able to pass. Reminiscing at St. Monica school PICKERING -- Former St. Monica principal Catherine Hermans looked at old photos as St. Monica school is celebrated 25 years. Past and present students and staff were invited to walk down memory lane. Jason Liebregts / Metroland “Learning from Old Men and Starfish…” Wisdom that works for all,if we really listen… Dear friend, What a story.It’s a story that I heard long ago that I should tell you about,too.It may help change a life. At the first glimmer of light of dawn,a young man walked at the edge of the seashore.There had been a storm the night before,and he knew this would be a good morning to find seashells.With pants rolled up above his ankles,he walked along looking down for what treasures he might find. Then the young man looked up and could barely make out a figure of a very old man ahead of him.The young man watched as the old man bent down to pick up an object from the sand,and toss it into the surf.As he got closer,and the light of morning began to turn the sand pink,he noticed that the old man was picking up starfish that had been tossed up on the beach by the storm.There were thousands of them, but one by one the old man picked them up,and tossed them back into the surf. Nearing the old man the young man introduced himself,and said,“Excuse me,but there are thousands of starfish stranded here on the beach.Yo u can’t possibly make a difference?” The old man smiled and looked at him,then picked up another starfish.He tossed it back in the sea. “I certainly made a difference to that one,didn’t I,son?” That old man did make a difference,like some-one made a difference for me.Let me tell you my story. 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.”That seems like a small thing,but it makes a huge difference to her. It’s strange how life is,because now people come to see me with their back problems.Also they come to me with their •Headaches •Migraines •Chronic pain •Neck pain •Shoulder/arm pain •Backaches •Whiplash •Numbness in limbs •Ear infections •Asthma, •Allergies •Athletic injuries, •Just to name a few. Here’s what some 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) There are millions of people who suffer from health problems,and many do not know where they can turn.For over one hundred years,chiropractors have been helping those people and making a difference to them,one by one. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure,and the body responds by healing itself.We get tremendous results.It’s as simple as that! Many people no longer have supplemental health insurance,and those who do have found that their benefits are reduced.That’s where I come in.I have a significantly lower exam fee so that more people are able to afford the care they need.A whole week of care in my office costs what you could pay for one visit else-where.Another way to save…published, peer-reviewed research indicates that the immune system may be enhanced by chiropractic adjustments. The immune system is the system that helps the body fight colds,the flu,and many other sicknesses. Although all people respond differently to care,maybe you won’t be running off to the doctor as much once you start chiropractic.This is especially important if you are self-employed.Studies show that people actually pay less for their long-term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor. Yo u Benefit from an Amazing Offer-Look,it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health.Be one of the first 20 people to make an appointment and receive my entire new patient exam for $37.That’s with x-rays,complete nerve,muscle and spinal exam…. the whole ball of wax.This exam could cost you $150 elsewhere.But,please call right away because this offer expires on Dec.13,2013,and I don’t want you to miss out.By the way,further care is very affordable.Yo u see I’m not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee,then to only make it up with high fees after that.“Further care”is very important to consider when making your choice of doctor.High costs can add up very quickly. 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. -Clay Kosinko,D.C. P.S.When accompanied by the first,I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $27. P.P.S.Yo ur time is as valuable as mine is.That’s why I have a “no-wait”policy.That means we do everything possible to make sure you are seen within just a few minutes of your appointment.

With respect to the view that preventing an airport on the Pickering lands will be more difficult than stopping a mega-quarry, I take a more optimistic view of this issue. In fact, I believe the opposite to be true. The letter writer cites job creation as a rea- son for the citizens of Pickering to be excit- ed about an airport. There are no guaran- tees that workers from Durham Region would be first in line for construction and infrastructure jobs -- they would be com- peting with workers from across Ontario and Canada or even overseas, depending on where subcontracts are awarded. An unnecessary, under-utilized airport may generate jobs initially, but most would be short term. In the long term, stable and enduring job creation can only be ensured by maintaining the lands for agricultur- al purposes and building a food-related industry around them. The requirement for food will never disap- pear. In fact, it will only become more acute as the world’s population grows. The letter writer also raises the issue of the inconve- nience of getting to Pearson airport for resi- dents of the eastern GTA. This minor incon- venience seems inconsequential when one considers the negative effects of living near an airport, especially one built from scratch as this one would be. Apart from the health and quality of life issues, we would be faced with devastat- ing harm to indigenous species, prime foodlands, fresh water sources, migration routes, and the natural habitats inherent to these lands. A quick commute to catch my flight pro- vides little solace when faced with annihila- tion on this scale. To learn more about the Pickering lands and why an airport is any- thing but “relevant” and “justifiable”, have a look at this website: http://www.landover- landings.com Rebecca Sanford Claremont Taking issue with Doug Dickerson To the editor: I take issue with Pickering Ward 2 Coun- cillor Doug Dickerson continually refer- ring to Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jennifer O’Connell as “that young lady.” I would hope that he would not refer to Ajax Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan as “that old lady.” Why would he use these words? These accomplished and hardworking politi- cians deserve to be addressed by their title “Regional Councillor” and not by such an outdated and mysogynistic term and one, I would consider, that would only be used by a bully. Sharron Monk Ajax We've said it before, but it's time to say it again: enough is enough. Pickering council needs to make City busi- ness the priority and stop with the infight- ing and bitterness. The people of Pickering deserve no less and expect this from their elected officials. It's hard to believe that it's been two years since we called for Pickering councillors "to put pettiness aside and the good of Pickering first." However not a lot seems to have changed around the council table. And the continu- ing fallout over Councillor Doug Dicker- son's Municipal Act infractions has fed the fire in recent months. In the summer, Coun. Dickerson pleaded guilty to two contraventions of the Munici- pal Elections Act, including filing an inaccu- rate financial statement. We suggested Councillor Dickerson should personally apologize to Pickering residents. We said he should voluntarily remove himself from the Veridian board and his position of deputy mayor. He did none of these things. But it's time for this fiasco to be put to bed: Councillor Dickerson's constituents will have the final say on the matter in next year's municipal election. Period. If only Pickering council would follow this line of thinking. We recently heard that Pickering’s integrity commissioner will not launch an investigation into a formal com- plaint by Councillor Dickerson, during a very testy Sept. 16 council meeting when Councillor Jennifer O'Connell said he com- mitted "fraud." He called the comments “disgusting.” She later clarified them. And Monday night that late-summer meeting was on the front burner again, as Councillor Bill McLean called on Coun- cillor Dickerson to apologize for referring to Councillor O’Connell at the time as a “young lady.” Coun. Dickerson did not apologize or comment on the issue during the council meeting, and later told us he has no plans to apologize. "What is she, if not that?" he said. Yes, Councillor O'Connell is a lady and she's not old. But Councillor Dickerson failed to include the context of his remark, which linked Councillor O'Connell's age with her knowledge of democracy, or lack thereof. Councillors are elected to be the voice of their constituents, to bring their concerns to the table. However the never-ending coun- cil squabbling is a big distraction and a big time-waster. Most importantly, residents of Pickering are looking on and seeing that personal issues among councillors, fuming and feuds, are what seem to characterize the group. So again we say to all members of council, get over yourselves and put Pickering first. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 9 AP We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

In December 2010,York and Durham Regions (the Regions)jointly initiated a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)study to identify a preferred solution for addressing capacity limitations of the existing outfall.This study is now complete. In 2012,the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant’s (WPCP)treatment capacity was expanded from 420 million litres per day (MLD)to 630 MLD and upgraded to provide increased phosphorus and ammonia removal. Although the plant itself has a capacity of 630 MLD,the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE)limited the current plant outfall capacity to 520 MLD due to mixing limitations with the water of Lake Ontario. The preferred solution is to optimize existing operations and to modify the existing outfall with variable diffuser ports.Operation of the facilities will be adjusted as required to allow for enhanced phosphorus removal using iron salts and polymer to continue to meet the MOE-approved 311 kg/day loading limit.All 63 of the existing diffuser ports will be fitted with variable diffusers to improve effluent mixing.The Regions’plan is to implement the preferred solution prior to flows reaching 520 MLD.When flows approach 630 MLD another EA will be completed to identify a preferred strategy for meeting future wastewater needs beyond 630 MLD.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland The last migrating raptors travel through Durham Shorter, darker days make us relish those mornings between weather sys- tems when the sky is blue, the sun bright and the air swept clean by winds from the north. Relish as well the dramatic dark forms that those north winds bring, the last wave of migrating raptors. In a way, Mother Nature saves the best for last: birds from the Arctic, far above treeline. Rough-legged hawks. I was hiking the Waterfront Trail in Whitby last week, panting to keep up with an energetic bunch of friends who walk together regularly, when sharp-eyed Dianne Pazaratz spotted a dark raptor cir- cling over the clifftop. We’d just seen a red- tailed hawk, and could tell that this bird was different -- not only black against the sky, but slightly longer winged and more agile in flight. When it banked, Dianne could see black-and-white patterning on its underwings, including dark “wrists.” And when it paused to hover in place, as if searching for food in the grass below, that clinched it. It was a dark-phase rough- leg. The more common light-phase plum- age would have a white rump patch, like a northern harrier. And the only other bird that dark would have been much larger -- a golden eagle. The hawk was flying west along the lake, and when it dropped out of sight over the edge of the bluff, I left the trail and walked out to the shore, a good excuse to let my physically fit friends carry on without me. No sight of the hawk, but dozens of red- breasted mergansers were fleeing east over the water, as if a boat had just scared them up. Or a raptor had. Flocks of goldfinches feeding in ever- greens along the trail suggested there were lots of seeds around to support a good population of voles and mice, a rough-legged hawk’s favourite food. Well known as circumpolar wanderers, rough- legs tend to gather where prey is plentiful in open country, so some may linger for a while in Durham before continuing on to their wintering grounds in the central U.S. There was a whole other chapter to the rough-legged hawk sighting that I missed out on, I later discovered. My friends reached Whitby Harbour, turned back and were heading across Heydenshore Park when Joan Ellis spotted another big dark bird flying with steady wing beats. It landed in a leafless deciduous tree, where she, Dianne and Marlene Shay were able to approach quite close to it, for a good look at its dark back and ruffled feathers. Another dark-morph rough-leg? Or the same one, which had circled back? I wish I’d been there with binoculars to view its small beak and small feet, designed for catching small prey in open country, and its feathered legs, designed for life in the arctic cold.

Be careful of ticks in Durham this fall My family dog Ginger, an Ajax resident, came in from the backyard with a nasty little thing stuck behind her ear over the weekend. She got her first tick and my parents became a little concerned, since ticks can carry Lyme disease. According to Durham Veterinary Clinic , Lyme disease affects a dog’s tissue, causing lameness and severe illness. My brother’s wife noticed the little blood- sucker when she was petting Ginger. Since the veterinarian my parents use was closed for the day, my brother took her to the Ani- mal Emergency Clinic of Durham Region in Whitby to have the tick removed. We’ve heard in the past that it can be extremely difficult to remove a tick fully -- sometimes their heads get stuck in the dog -- so they were extra care- ful. Although, according to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the majority of tick bites will not result in disease because most ticks are not infected with the agent of Lyme disease, they were still cautious. The vet removed the tick and mentioned to my brother that the clinic was busy with tick removals last weekend. I found this sur- prising because I thought ticks were most active in the spring, but turns out they’re pretty common in the fall as well. My parents’ neighbour’s dog also got a tick recently. Her vet told her that Durham has been a hotbed of blacklegged ticks, which can carry Lyme. I don’t want to worry anyone, as I haven’t heard of a Lyme disease outbreak, but it’s always good to be cautious and watch out for ticks. According to an interview our videogra- pher Leeanna McLean did with Dr. Dave Sutherland of Baker Animal Clinic, ticks are most active when the temperature is above 6 C and below 26 C. My brother said the vet had a tick remover that can be purchased by the public. If you feel comfortable removing it yourself, you can buy the Tick Twister online and it’s inex- pensive. My parents called their regular vet office on Monday to let them know about the situa- tion. They were happy to learn their monthly applications of Revolution should keep Gin- ger safe. Revolution is a topical solution that my parents get from the vet in May when they take Ginger in for a heartworm test. It’s easy to apply and they apply it monthly until Nov. 1 each year. Revolution also protects against fleas, parasites and heartworm, and it’s good for cats too. Ginger seems to be fine but the vet is going to check in with my parents in six weeks to see how she is. At that time, if they want, they can get bloodwork done to put their minds at ease. According to DVC, check your pet for ticks after long walks and hikes through thick brush, grass and wooded areas, or if pets have been missing. According to campbellfordvet.ca, avoid long grass, shrubs and wooded areas, par- ticularly in the spring and fall. Forests where deer are known to live are of particular con- cern. When walking, try to keep your dog on the path and don’t brush against vegetation. Ticks seem to be active right now, on the warmer days especially, so take the advice of the vets listed above. Also, make sure to talk to your veterinarian about ways to protect against ticks, because even after this season is over, ticks will start latching onto helpless pets once again in the spring. Animal cruelty Cats, kittens dumped at humane society The Humane Society of Durham Region is asking for help finding the person or people who dropped off four cats and three kittens in boxes outside the shelter on Thursday, Nov. 14. The cats were left near the rear of the shelter in five boxes taped shut with duct tape and in a plastic cat carrier. All cats were blind, but their vision is coming back, sug- gesting they came into contact with poison, according the humane society. The cats range from six weeks to five years of age and are mainly grey, cream and white. Anyone with information should call 905- 665-7430, ext. 225.

If approved by council, Coun. McLean wants to see monthly reports start in Janu- ary 2014. Ideally he hopes to include a line-by-line breakdown of each expense, but acknowl- edged that could be too cumbersome on City staff. The City’s current expense reports break down what council members spend each year on conferences, meals, promotions, cellphones, postage, newsletters, office supplies and home phone or Internet charges. In 2012 council’s discretionary expens- es totalled $56,038. The individual tallies ranged from $22,979 for Mayor Dave Ryan to $6,226 for Councillor Peter Rodrigues. The discretionary expense reports do not include salaries, benefits, per diems paid for attending special meetings or travel costs. Pickering’s regional council members also claim expenses which are reported separately by the Region of Dur- ham. “I’ve always really liked writing, the blog is a way to use my love for writing for social justice,” she says. On Nov. 20, Alyssa was honoured by the YMCA of Greater Toronto with a YMCA Peace Medallion for her blogging efforts, as well as a long list of fundraising and vol- unteer work in the community. The medallion is awarded to recipients across the GTA as part of YMCA Peace Week in November. It recognizes individuals and groups that work to make local and global communi- ties more peaceful places to live. “It’s really humbling, I’m really hon- oured,” Alyssa said of the award, presented at Dunbarton High School where she is a Grade 11 student. When she’s not blogging, the busy teen sponsors children in developing countries through Com- passion Inter- national and recently started a knitting busi- ness called Free- dom Creations, with proceeds going to Inter- national Justice Mission, an organization that fights slav- ery. Through her church youth group she also worked on a food drive that brought in 2,347 pounds of donations and has spent time handing out sandwiches to the home- less in downtown Toronto and gathering supplies for people with AIDS in Africa. “Peace isn’t something that’s just for gov- ernments and big organizations to work on. We can all do things to help as individ- uals,” she says. Alyssa plans to go to university and study international development. She hopes to work in the social justice field as a human rights lawyer or humanitarian aid worker. To check out her blog, visit www.godsga- l4ever.blogspot.ca.

The cats, in five boxes taped shut with duct tape and in a plastic cat carrier, were found by a volunteer in a darkened outside area, near the rear of the shelter. Shelter staff rushed them to the Animal Emergency Clinic of Dur- ham Region, where they were found to be wobbly, as if sedated. Further testing found all cats and kittens are blind, and it’s suspect- ed the cats came into contact with poison. According to Ruby Richards of the humane society, their vision is slowly coming back and they’re all on the mend. The cats range from six weeks to five years of age and are mainly grey, cream and white. Two of the boxes were labeled with stick- ers from a distributor of tape for OLG thermal paper, so they may have come from a loca- tion where there is a lottery terminal, said the humane society. Anyone with information about the cats, or anyone who witnessed anything unusu- al near the shelter at 1505 Wentworth St. in Whitby on the evening of Nov. 14, is asked to contact the humane society’s investiga- tions department at 905-665-7430 ext. 225. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 13 AP � �� � � � � �� du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 14 AP 8a m DOORSOPEN on a l l LOWEST PRICES G U A R A N T E E D ELECTRONICS TODAY ONLY! nOOO H S t o n APPLIANCES FrEE GAME OR T A B L E T F O R T H E FIRST 1 0 0 CUSTOMERS BEFORE 1 2 N O O N 2 HSTxonth e and SAVE FURNITURE MATTRESSESTTRESSESMA FREE DELIVERYACROSSONTARIO!

Your Life: Yoga for legs and hips Video series on durhamregion.com Leeanna McLean lmclean@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Next week’s video series on durhamregion.com features yoga for legs and hips with Oshawa yogi Wendy Mel- ville. With over 12 years of person- al practice, Ms. Melville decid- ed to leave the corporate world and focus on her passion to help others through her per- sonal experience and exten- sive yoga training. She was introduced to yoga as a result of fibromyalgia, an arthritis- related condition character- ized by chronic muscle pain, stiffness, aches and fatigue. Through Ms. Melville’s recov- ery process, she has brought her knowledge to classes. Based out of her home stu- dio, Ms. Melville’s Gentle Yoga offers therapeutic hatha-based, private, semi-private and small group classes with an empha- sis on breath and alignment. For more information, visit wendysgentleyoga.ca. In yoga, hip openers often coincide with emotional release. The hips stabilize us in our daily life and are said to store strong emotions of anxi- ety, sadness, depression and being guarded. Join us next week as we walk you through some yoga position for hips. Spending a few minutes in a couple of these poses will pre- vent injury, boost your per- formance and make you feel comfortable in your daily life.

Ce n t r e f o r Bilingual services now availableCentre For Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, in Ajax Dr. David Direnfeld, Psychologist 905.427.2007 ASK THE PODISTRIST: I began feeling pain in my heel and arch approximately 1 year ago. It has gotten progressively worse in the past 3 months. The pain is most intense when I first get out of bed in the morning, or when I first stand on up. It then seems to ease somewhat. It feels like a bruise on the inside of my heel right where the arch begins. What might this be and how can I treat it? It sounds as if you are describing a condition known as PLANTAR FASCITIS, an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick, fibrous, connective tissue running from the inside of the heel to the toes. It is responsible for maintaining the arch of the foot. Initially the onset of symptoms are gradual and of low intensity but they soon progress to a sharp, persistent pain. The pain is worse when first arising in the morning or at the beginning of an activity. It will then lessen after a few minutes of walking but will recur after a rest or with prolonged movement. Although the symptoms are in the heel, the heel is not the problem. PLANTAR FASCITIS occurs as a result of excessive pronation and a flattening of the arch. This causes the foot to lengthen, leading this inflexible fascia to pull away from the heel bone. The end fibers will then develop some micro tears, swelling and inflammation. Treatment for PLANTAR FASCITIS involves R.I.C.E., rest, ice, compressions, and elevation. Exercises are also of some benefit. These include rolling the arch on a tennis ball, picking up a towel with your toes and Achilles tendon stretches. Also working on your quadriceps will help. Women may find wearing a shoe with a slight heel height of 1 to 1 ∏ inches will help maintain better arch height and thus ease some symptoms. Oral anti-inflammatories, cortisone and physiotherapy only address the inflammation and not the cause, which is the foot mechanics. The best treatment is prescribing a custom made foot ORTHOTIC. It will control the foot mechanics and minimize pronation while support the arch. It will decrease the pull of the fascia at the heel, thereby lessening the inflammation and pain. Orthotics should always be made from a negative impression plaster cast in a non-weight bearing position. This will reproduce the foot in a normal arched neutral position. Resolution of the pain with orthotics can take from several weeks up to 4-6 months, depending on how long you have had the problem. If pain persists longer, a surgical plantar release may be indicated. As with most other problems, it is important to address symptoms as soon as they appear. The longer you have the pain, the longer it will take to resolve the problem.

A. Certain procedures and products are advised: Procedures:Yo u must have your hearing tested if yo u or others have any concerns ab out yo ur hearing. Our ability to hear properly tends to deteriorat e as we age but does it so slowly that most of us do not notice. Therefore,in most cases, it will be others who will comment on someone’s hearing. Yo u must have treatment for yo ur loss of hearing which may include hearing amplification that is comfortable,virtually invisible to others, and improves your hearing.With the right hearing aids,you will be able to hear better, to react to others faster, and to continue enjoying life’s most precious times with family and friends and even in difficult places such as in noisy backgrounds. Tr eatment can also help those who suffer from ringing in the ears called ‘Tinnitus’.We deliver the one thing every person wants:Re lief fo r ringing in the ears with the latest technology. Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disorder. Tr eatment is a ‘must’ to help prevent other possible incapacitating conditions from developing. Although the connection between hearing loss and dementia is rarely considered,research has shown that “Hearing loss can be an early warning sign of dementia and that something as simple as fitting a person with hearing aids might delay the onset of the debilitating illness.” Products:MiraCell is a ‘must have’ product fo r itchy ears. MiraCell, a safe all-natural botanical solution, soothes irritated and itchy ears, and helps maintain their health.

Regional council’s works committee decid- ed last week not to make any parking changes, such as adding designated spots for council- lors or eliminating some specifically marked spaces, such as those for expectant mothers. Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins said she was issued a ticket when she inadvertently parked in a spot with a 20-minute time limit. “I think the 20-minute thing has become an issue,” she said, adding there’s “adequate parking here. A great number of councillors have received parking tickets. “We want peo- ple to come into this building. We want them to come here and do their business. What’s the message we’re sending?” Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis said the security staff have been told not to ticket in the 20-minute spaces unless the vehicle has been there for 60 minutes. “There’s a lot of parking on the site,” he added. “My problem is the number of people get- ting parking tickets,” Mayor Perkins said. “They think they’ll be in the building for a short time and they’re not. Doing business isn’t always as quick as it should be.” She noted a pregnant woman who didn’t look “obviously pregnant” was given a tick- et when she parked in an ‘expectant mother’ space. Mr. Curtis said it wouldn’t bother him to eliminate the ‘expectant mother’ spaces, but Mayor Perkins suggested, “Leave them there and don’t enforce it, or take them away.” Pickering Councillor Bill McLean, a former Toronto police officer, said, “If I get a ticket, it’s my fault.” Oshawa Councillor Tito-Dante Marimpietri said the language on the ticket “should reflect the infraction. My issue is the language on the ticket.” Mr. Curtis noted that because the head- quarters is considered private property, the parking infraction is noted as ‘parking on pri- vate property without permission.’ “Legally, we’re required to put that on the ticket,” Mr. Curtis said. “The public is allowed to park here. There is always space available. The staff position is status quo. Since we’ve stepped up enforcement, the number of tick- ets has steadily dropped,” Mr. Curtis said. He added a portion of the parking lot is reserved for councillors on meeting days or when large joint committee meetings are held. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 21 AP •DeliciousLuxuryAssortmentsofBelgianChocolate •Belgium & Swiss Bars •Chocolate Covered Biscuits •Shortbread ButterCookies •ChocolateLiqueurs •GourmetJellyBeans •ManyotherChocolateSelections OPENING NOV 11 UNTIL DEC 24 HWY 401 ELLESMERE 1380 EGLINGTON LAWRENCE KE N N E D Y BI R C H M O U N T WA R D E N Monday - Friday 9:00 - 5:00 Saturday - Sunday 10:00 - 4:00 Find us at 1380 Birchmount Rd.

And the Collingwood resident made the most of his opportunity, as he was a season six finalist in 2008, the last year of the show. The singer and guitarist is in Ajax on Nov. 23 for a night of classic rock. “It was not anything I was interested in doing,” Wright says over the phone from Collingwood of Canadian Idol. “I had never watched the show, wasn’t interested in it and had been in original bands.” Wright, 34, says the friends he made doing the show, and “being catered to, which was great,” are his highlights. As for what advice he would pass on to Idol hopefuls, Wright says staying true to yourself is most important. “(I tried) to go out of my way to do what I thought would please people,” he says. “Stay true to who you are, who you want to be as an artist.” It’s something Wright has done in his post- Idol music career. The Ajax show features his friend and musician Rickferd Van Dyk, and Wright says there will be “old-school rock,” more recent rock and a couple of orig- inal songs as well. Both musicians will be playing acoustic guitar. Wright got into music early as a young child when he received a ukelele. At the time, he says he didn’t know the difference between the instrument and a guitar and carried it around with him. A few years later, into music in a big way, his obsession got him into some hot water at school. “I used to get in trouble a lot for singing, for drumming on the desks,” he says. “I was sent out of class for drumming once.” Correcting the record, or at least Wikipe- dia, Wright says the entry stating “when he was five, he was sent home from school for singing Under My Thumb by The Rolling Stones” isn’t true. But his early and continuing fascination with music is accurate, and Wright credits his father for lighting the spark. “My father was always in and out of bands and played avidly,” he says. As for his own bands, Fall and Divide broke up earlier this year and Wright’s new outfit is Rocksauce. He says he’s working on some original acoustic material and hopes to release something next year. Personally, he plans on marrying his girl- friend in the next year or so. The show is a benefit in support of Autism Ontario, with The Mac’s from Ajax opening. Advance tickets are $25 and available at The Tudor Rose and The Elite Meat Compa- ny in Ajax. Or call Derek Sharp at 289-988- 2575. Some tickets may be available at the door on the night of the show at the venue, the Ajax Legion at 111 Hunt St. AJAX -- Collingwood’s Drew Wright performing on Canadian Idol in 2008.

The Tribute show features Dave Stewart from Kitchener, Bill Gallant from Angus and Ajax's own Jim Robin- son. The concert is in support of the Dreams and Wishes charity. "I have been an Elvis tribute artist for seven years," Robinson says. "I have performed in Windsor, Kitch- ener, Collingwood and Montreal, to name a few. We do this all the time as it brings excitement to Elvis fans. Our crowds bring a range of young people to the older ones. In these tough times it is hard to give to charities. We have a great show to put on at a reasonable price which helps our local charities. It's like a melting pot; we have a good time and meet up with charities we may not know about like Dreams and Wishes. All the proceeds go to the char- ities to help them survive or grow." The event is at the Unifor Hall (for- mer CAW Hall), 140 Hunt St. The doors open at 5 p.m., dinner is at 5:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 for dinner and the show or $20 for only the show. For tick- ets, call Jim or Fay at 905-683-9587 or the Unifor Hall at 905-683-3510. Colourful Ajax show draws Durham artists Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Artists from virtually every part of Durham are taking part in the Colour of Life show and sale in Ajax. It’s Cultural Expressions Art Gallery’s last show of the season, and its biggest of the year, running Nov. 24 to Dec. 23. There’s an opening reception at the gal- lery on Nov. 24 from 2 to 5 p.m. The show features small works by art- ists, all for $100 or less. “This exhibition is really not about money or profit, it’s about giving to the community,” says gallery owner Esther Forde. “I’m not sure if the community realizes what an awesome opportunity this is, to be able to purchase original art on sale for a nominal price of $100 and under. Some of the pieces are framed and I am amazed by the generosity of the art- ists. I know the cost of framing and mate- rial alone is over $50. When you add the time and the creativity to it, these pieces are a giveaway.” The participating artists are: Cher- yl Rock, Marie Blanchard-Thomas, Nancy Howell, Georgina Fullerton, Jan- ice Brown, Allan O’Marra and Wayne Prisque of Ajax, Sue Slocum, Ryan Larvin, Bonnie Lusty and Ruth Smith of Pickering, Maureen Lowry, Denise Wilkins and Bev Allen of Whitby, Aisha Chiguichon, Marissa Sweet and Sharon Steinhaus of Oshawa, Belinda Masters of Bowmanville, Angela Hennessey of Cannington, Janice McHaffie of Madoc, whose studio is in Pickering, and Scar- borough’s Susan Brown. The gallery is at 62 Old Kingston Rd. in Ajax’s Pickering Village.

Submitted photo ‘Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Making music and, in the process, helping young people to under- stand themselves, the world around them and their place in it has been its raison d’etre for a decade. The School Alliance of Student Song- writers is marking the milestone with a Nov. 30 concert at the Regent Theatre in Oshawa, featuring SASS alumni, many of whom have gone on to reach musical heights. Dubbed ‘A Songwriters’ Celebration’, the event includes Brooklin country singer/songwriter Lyndsay Broughton, originally from Donald A. Wilson Sec- ondary School in Whitby, and Whitby singer/songwriter Tim Watson, originally from O’Neill Collegiate in Oshawa, now a music teacher at Donald A. Wilson and a recording artist. A “love of songwriting” is what prompt- ed Durham District School Board teach- er and musician Artemis Chartier to start the first school club 10 years ago at R. S. McLaughlin Collegiate in Oshawa. “There are two really important things in art, one is strength and one is securi- ty,” she says. “I think creativity can make kids stron- ger and more gentle and empathetic at the same time. Songwriting does more for young people and their character. .. than you might expect.” “It’s all about finding out who you are as young people and what your mission is in the world.” Mentor musicians come in to local school songwriting clubs, an extracurric- ular activity, to work with students from grades 6 to 12. The free program also fea- tures open mics, writing camps, contests, studio time and field trips. Former Guess Who guitarist Dale Rus- sell, who with Chartier founded the group, was at the second SASS meeting and has been involved ever since. “I think it’s just seeing this free-flowing creativity, especially from the elementary kids,” he says when asked why he’s stuck around. “They don’t have a lot of filters. They’re not so self-conscious all of the time.” The SASS clubs are a place where stu- dents can feel comfortable, says Kai- ley Haskell, a co-president of the SASS regional youth executive this year and a member of the Donald A. Wilson SASS club. “SASS is a safe haven to me, a second home,” she says. “When I’m with a SASS group or at a SASS event, I know that I can be myself and speak freely, and that no one there will judge me. I hope that I help others feel accepted and create a safe and loving place for them to come to whenever they need someone.” As for the music part, Kailey says “music is just an amazing stress reliever. “Writing lyrics and music really helps me get my emotions out, in a positive way,” she says. “Music gives me a pur- pose, and I love it because it is such a great way to express myself in a creative way.” The first part of the evening features Toronto rock musician and SASS men- tor Jeff Eager as well as SASS alumni including Kimberley Alexis, Matt Anness, Crankbox (Dylan Hillyer and Reed Ste- vens) and Devontée Grubb. Chartier said any SASS member from the past decade was invited to submit music to a judg- ing panel which determined who would play. In addition to SASS alumni Broughton and Watson, Durham singer-songwrit- er Trish Robb and Wendell Ferguson, a Canadian Country Music Association seven-time Guitarist Of The Year award winner, will perform and give some insight into their songs. Both are SASS mentors. The performers will be backed by a band with Russell on guitar, Platinum Blonde bassist Rob Laidlaw, Dave Ches- ter on keyboards and local drummer Aubrey Dayle. SASS has grown beyond Durham's bor- ders and has inspired similar groups in other parts of Canada. Roughly 10,000 Ontario youths have been a part of SASS. Learn more at sasscanada.net.

Ajax author pens book about 100 years of NHL hockey D’Arcy Jenish’s latest offering entitled The NHL: A Centennial History Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Giving readers a sense of what has been involved in keeping the NHL afloat for 100 years was the target D’Arcy Jenish wanted to hit in his latest book. Jenish has penned his third hockey-relat- ed book, this one entitled The NHL: A Cen- tennial History, 100 years of on-ice action and boardroom battles. It joins the family of hockey books that includes The Stanley Cup, 100 Years of Hockey at its Best (1992) and Montreal Canadiens, 100 Years of Glory (2008). The Ajax author has developed a pen- chant for researching and writing anniver- sary books on hockey. “I don’t mean to denigrate player biogra- phies, but most player biographies, I don’t really think there is a book in the lives of most players,” he says. “But in the story of a championship that’s lasted 100 years, a team that’s lasted 100 years or a league that’s lasted 100 years, there’s a real book in those stories. And there certainly was in this one.” The book was three years in the making, and his extensive research included gain- ing access to transcripts at the Hockey Hall of Fame that have never been made avail- able previously. Among the documents were transcripts to board of governors meetings from the 1940s and 1950s that included such historical heavyweights as Conn Smythe, Lester Patrick, Art Ross and Clarence Campbell. “It was really quite incredible to read these,” notes Jenish of the findings. “You get a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the discussions that took place behind closed doors. “It gives you a perspective that just hasn’t been out there before.” Included among the names of countless interviews he conducted were Gary Bet- tman, John Ziegler, Alan Eagleson, Mike Illitch and, as recently as March of this year, Donald Fehr, to name just a few. Some of the revelations in the book include: • Revenues for the Original Six teams were much lower than generally believed, and gate receipts prove the point • Definitely some of the Original Six clubs paid their players fairly and earned reason- able profits • Clarence Campbell remained president of the NHL at least five years too long and left the league in horrible shape in terms of competitive balance and financial health • Bob Goodenow betrayed both Ziegler and Illitch during the CBA talks that led to the players’ strike of April 1992 and this is why the league would never again start a season without a CBA in place • The 2004-2005 lockout was as much about getting rid of Bob Goodenow as it was about getting a salary cap Jenish’s background includes spending 15 years at Maclean’s magazine as a senior writer, covering hockey, the Bernardo/ Homolka trial, federal elections and royal tours. He is currently working on a 50th anni- versary book on Trent University, and his next project, while still in the works, will be a political-based book. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 AJAX -- D’Arcy Jenish has written a book about 100 years in the NHL called ‘The NHL: A Centennial History’. It’s his third book on hockey, the first two being a history of the Stanley Cup (1992) and a history of the Montreal Canadiens (2008). Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Panthers edged by Fury, beat Muskies DURHAM -- The structure of the Ontario Junior Hockey League doesn’t allow much of a Durham Region rivalry. With the Whitby Fury and Pickering Panthers playing in different divisions, they meet only twice per season, the first of which took place Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers (9-12-2-1) stepped up their game for the occasion it seems, but still came up short, falling 6-5 to the Fury (16-8-1-2). Mike Panowyk opened the scoring just 56 seconds in for the Fury and Greg Milner scored his first of two four minutes later to give Whitby a lead it would not relinquish. Ryan Kirkup also had a pair of goals for the winners, with Adam Clements adding a single. Brodie Tutton and Robert Cammal- leri replied with two goals each for the Panthers, who narrowed the gap to one- goal three times in the game, including when Cammalleri scored the final goal with an extra attacker on the ice and 1:29 remaining. Chris Sekelyk also scored for Pickering. The Fury also played a pair of recent home games, dropping a 6-4 decision to the Toronto Jr. Canadiens Thursday, while cruising to a 7-1 win over the Hamilton Red Wings Sunday. Whitby sits atop the tightly-contested East Division with 35 points in 27 games, but Kingston, Cobourg, Trenton and Wel- lington are all well within reach, and with games in hand. The Panthers, in third place in the North Division, rebounded from the loss to Whitby with a 4-1 win over the Lindsay Muskies at home Sunday. Riley Devine scored twice short-handed in the second period, while Nicholas Lepone and Mark Tenuta added third-period goals for the Panthers, who are next in action Friday at home against Hamilton.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Wolves take round one over Lightning PWHL rivals play again Jan. 26 in Ajax WHITBY -- The Durham West Lightning will have to wait a fair bit longer than the Whitby Wolves did a year ago before hav- ing their crack at revenge. In the first of two meetings between the local rivals this season in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, the Wolves man- aged a surprisingly lop-sided 7-2 victory Saturday at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. Although both teams are perennial con- tenders and typically play low-scoring affairs, at about this time last season the Lightning laid a shocking 8-1 pounding on the Wolves. Whitby rebounded a week later for a 3-2 overtime win over Durham West, and ultimately went on to win both the league and playoff championships. Unfortunately for the Lightning, they will have to wait until Jan. 26 this season before the next meeting in Ajax. Saturday’s game was tighter than the score made it sound, at least until the third period. After a scoreless first period, the Lightning struck first, but the Wolves scored the next three to take the lead for good. Durham West cut the deficit to 3-2 30 seconds into the third period before Whitby exploded and scored the final four. Katelyn Rae led the way with two goals and an assist for Whitby, while Rhyen McGill and Alana Sims each had a goal and two assists. Megan Sullivan also scored twice, and Cassidy Vinkle had the other. Megan Quinn and Samantha McKenzie replied for Durham West, with Kennedy Marchment assisting on both. Kassidy Sauve, who moved over from the Lightning to the Wolves this season, made 18 saves for the win. It was an impressive weekend all around for the Wolves, who improved to 9-2-1-1 with a 4-1 win at home Sunday over Otta- wa (8-3-1-1). The Lightning (9-2-2-1) moved back ahead of the Wolves and into second place with wins of 3-2 over the Mississauga Chiefs Sunday and 3-1 over Leaside Tuesday. Aly- sha Burriss scored the winner with 33 sec- onds remaining against the Chiefs, while Lisa Bruno and Stephanie Ford also scored to make a winner of Stephanie Sluys, who made 22 saves. Burriss scored two more and Becki Bowering had the other in Tues- day’s win. IT’S FREE! Sign up today at www.wagjag.com!
