Riders were met with a new magazine, Loupe, produced by Metroland Media Group’s Dur- ham Region Division. The first issue of the monthly magazine hit the stands Monday and on Wednesday, GO riders were given a copy of the new pub- lication, hot off the press. “It was a great success. People really seemed to like the maga- zine,” said Joanne Burghardt, edi- tor-in-chief, who was handing out copies at the Whitby GO station. “People were really interested. Some stopped to ask questions about the stories. It was great way to kick off the magazine,” said Deb McDonald, advertising manager.

Facing a packed house of about 150 people in the council chambers at Ajax town hall on Oct. 6, the candidates were asked what they would do to improve the quality of water in Lake Ontario and how the algae problem plaguing the Town’s shoreline can be dealt with. Michael Deegan said the standards that have been imposed on phosphorous levels in Lake Simcoe should be the same for Lake Ontario. “It’s going to take a big decision by the Ministry of the Environment, but there’s no reason we can’t lead the way.” Ajax has argued the problem is caused by phosphorous being discharged by the Duffin Creek sewage treatment plant. Algae feeds on the phosphorous and proliferates. The plant is jointly owned by Durham and York regions. The regions have said the plant isn’t the problem, as the entire lake is suffering from an algae issue. Barbara Pulst said, “Could it be the current administration is bending its ear more to York Region than the people of Durham Region?” A ‘bump-up’ to a more stringent review of the outfall pipe is needed, she said, “so we can look at what the real options are for the Duffin Creek plant.” Current Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son said there are 49 water pollution control plants on Lake Ontario. He said York Region owns most of the plant and “they have the right to use it” and the expansion is being done to accommodate growth in York. The environmental assessment is with the MOE and “if the Prov- ince decides to have a bump-up” then it will be done. However, he noted the current EA took four years and $4 mil- lion, and a bump-up would cost at least that much. “We’ll live with what the Province decides,” Mr. Anderson said. Peter Neal said the “water quality is brutal” and needs addressing. “He’s got to take responsibility. I’m not say- ing we’re screwed, but don’t get in bed with someone again,” Mr. Neal stated. Arthur Augustine said, “It’s got to be repaired. As Regional chairman, it’s your responsibility. At least make some attempt. You were told how to repair it, yet nothing has been done. If I’m chairman, I would do what I can to protect the water.” Lynn Porteous said she shared the con- cerns of people. “We borrow the plant, we don’t own it. It’s common sense to know how important our environment is.” Joanne Dies, the incumbent Ward 3 local Councillor in Ajax, asked why the Region hasn’t passed along information about the plant outfall pipe, as the MOE said they should. Ms. Pulst said, “I can’t answer why Durham hasn’t done that to date. The Region has to listen. Water is important and we have to pro- tect it.” Mr. Anderson said, “It’s not that the Regional chair doesn’t support you. It’s Regional coun- cil (that) doesn’t support you. My job is to deliver Regional council’s mes- sage. “Our staff and consultants don’t believe the plant is the source for the algae,” Mr. Anderson added. Mr. Neal said, “As long as Roger Anderson has clean water in his hot tub, he’s not going to do anything.” “I’ve been down there and it makes me sick. ‘We can’t do anything about it.’ It drives me nuts when politicians say that,” Mr. Neal said. People aren’t getting the real answer, Mr. Augustine stated. “My response is they don’t care. Regional councillors and the chair, they don’t care. People who have a home on the lakefront, it’s killing them, the scent,” he noted, vowing he would take immediate action to find a solution. Ms. Porteous said, “Big business has left a big footprint on our environment. Now, we are catching up on it. We have to clean up our mess.” Mr. Deegan said, “Whatever is a priority gets dealt with. This needs to be a priority.” He added the waterfront is the same in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Ajax. “It’s all the same.” Read the rest of the story, including what the candidates had to say about amalgam- ating the municipalities in durham We are pleased to announce that the newest retirement community in Ajax-Pickering is coming soon and will offer state-of-the-art retirement living options to seniors.

Durham police partici- pated Oct. 1 and 2 in Operation Northern Spotlight II, an ini- tiative that focused on sex workers based in hotels on major thorough- fares in 28 cities and towns across the country. In Durham, officers followed up on ads for sex servic- es and interviewed 31 women whose average age was 26. Police determined that nine of the women interviewed were under some sort of control by pimps or others. Those women were offered support and information about other options for their lives, police said. “Although many of the women appear to be mak- ing their own decisions to participate for financial gain, investigators found several teenagers and young women were being forced to perform through threats of violence, physical intimidation, drug dependency and other forms of coercion,” police said. Police here and across the country found women -- in Winnipeg, police encountered a 12-year-old girl -- being forced to perform sex acts for multiple male customers daily, often working out of hotels and motels. Most liaisons are arranged through websites, police said. Across Canada police charged nine people with prosti- tution and child pornography offences. Durham partici- pated in a similar nationwide exercise last year. Anyone with knowledge of a person trapped in an exploitative situation, or who needs help, can call Dur- ham’s human trafficking hotline at 1-888-579-1520, exten- sion 4888. Police Ajax boy fractures leg after he was struck by SUV at Harwood Plaza AJAX -- A 12-year-old boy was seriously inured when he was struck by a vehicle in a parking lot Monday night in Ajax. The boy was treated at hospital for a fractured leg after the incident, at the Harwood Plaza on Harwood Road South at about 8:50 p.m., Durham police said. The boy, who was with his mother, had just stepped off a curb when he was hit by an SUV that was making a turn. The vehicle, driven by a 70-year-old Ajax man, rolled over the boy’s leg, police said. An investigation continues and police are appealing to witnesses.

Dunbarton High School’s colours are black, red and grey but they may as well be green as the school has been named the Greenest School in Canada. The title recog- nizes the changes that have occurred at the school in the last five years or so, a transfor- mation that demonstrates the school-wide commitment of students and staff. Every year The Canada Green Build- ing Council and the Canada Coalition for Green Schools put on a competition as they look for Canadian schools that show how sustainability has become integral to the infrastructure, culture and curriculum of a school. And a jury comprised of green building industry experts from across the country picked Dunbarton High School. Teacher David Gordon, the school’s Envi- roClub program leader, says Dunbarton students as a group talk the talk where being green is concerned, ‘jumping at the oppor- tunity to exercise leadership and acting to make the community more sustainable’. Specifically, the school was recognized for a number of initiatives: among them, the school has had installed new, more ener- gy-efficient windows; new exterior brick- work with underlying foam insulation that improves energy efficiency; fluorescent lighting and a rooftop solar hot water heat- ing system that preheats water used in the cafeteria, gym and some washrooms. A green bin collection service is not avail- able to the school, so Dunbarton co-ordi- nates organic waste collection with local neighbours to keep the waste from ending up in a landfill. Other examples include signage that directs staff and students how to keep cer- tain light banks off to reduce power con- sumption and ‘bee condos’ that promote pollination. It’s an impressive list that shows the school’s title was well earned. And Dunbarton’s efforts not only encour- age us all to be greener, but also remind us that resources are not finite. Over the course of human history we have used resources such as wood, oil and fish as if there were an unending supply. As many experts tell us, we are getting to the point where we are not going to be able to con- sume as we have in the past, with no eye to the future. Young people especially seem to be heeding this warning. We’re proud that the students and staff at Dunbarton are leaders in this area. This Thanksgiving, think about others To the editor: On Monday, Oct. 13 we celebrate Thanks- giving; a day we pause to reflect on how much we are thankful for. We cook and share meals, usually completely unaware of our over-abundance. Three days after that, we celebrate World Food Day; a day meant to increase aware- ness about under-nutrition and poverty.I wonder if your readers know that 850 mil- lion people do not have enough to eat and that a quarter of the children on our planet have stunted growth due to improper nutri- tion.Research shows that poor nutrition in developing countries accounts for a six- to eight-per cent drop in GDP. But, it is not all bad news. The research also shows that for every $1 invested in nutrition, $138 is saved with improvements in industry, education and economics. As your readers sit down to meals this month, I’m hoping they’ll think about what we have, what others do not, and consider doing something about that. Tweet Minister of International Develop- ment Christian Paradis (@christianparad) and their MP to ask that Mr. Paradis attend the ICN2 (Second International Conference on Nutrition) in Rome in November.Can- ada is a leader in global nutrition and we need the voice of Canadians to help contin- ue this momentum. Christine Smith All is not lost To the editor: I was very very surprised when I over- heard a conservation on the bus. There were not many people on the bus howev- er the two people who were having a dis- cussion about politics, seemed to know exactly what they were talking about. Most of the conversation surrounded Syria and the Gaza Strip. If a war that is so far away induces these people to talk about it then all is not lost. Oh, I forgot to mention that the two people talking about politics were either 18 or 19 years old. Ron Horner ‘Tall old guy with cane’ To the editor: Getting old is a laugh a minute. I did a lot of shopping last week, and ordered a cab to get home from the final store. I gave the dispatcher a description, as people often grab cabs I have ordered before I can get to them, and when he showed up, the cab driver drove right up to me. I said that was really great, and he said he couldn’t miss me -- on a small monitor he turned around so I could read it was my address, and under that it said: “Tall old guy with cane.” Works for me...

Kumaresh Ratnasabapathy said Tuesday he never requested or received the naturopathic and osteopath- ic treatments his insurer, Great West Life, was invoiced for. Mr. Ratnasabapathy said he went to Ms. Tran’s Holis- tic Wellness Clinic on Westney Road South in 2007, seeking treatment for chronic back pain. “I signed up only for massage therapy and acupunc- ture,” he testified. “I came to know (Ms. Tran) was bill- ing for naturopath and osteopath (treatment) after receiving a letter from Great West Life in 2008. “I called them and told them ... if any claims come from Jenny Tran just don’t proceed because I have never taken treatment for the naturopath and osteopath.” Ms. Tran has pleaded not guilty to charges including fraud and forgery, relating to her operation of the clinic between 2007 and 2010. The Crown alleges Ms. Tran falsely claimed to be an accredited provider of services including acupuncture and massage therapy, and that she defrauded insurance companies by filing claims for treatment that was never provided. Ms. Tran identified herself variously as Dr. Jenny Tran, Dr. Jes- sica Tran and Dr. Anita Tran, court has heard. She’s accused of defrauding insurance companies of $45,000. Ms. Tran, who is representing herself, cross-examined Mr. Ratnasabapathy with the assistance of a Cantonese interpreter. She suggested that each time he received treatment he signed a form authorizing Ms. Tran to bill his insurance company. Not so, Mr. Ratnasabapathy replied. “I signed empty forms,” he said. “She got the money, and then she called me for treatment.” Superior Court Justice Kelly Wright is hearing the case with- out a jury. Earlier she heard testimony that companies includ- ing Great West Life routinely paid claims submitted by Ms. Tran, until it became apparent she was not recognized by orga- nizations that govern naturopathic practises. The trial continues in Oshawa. ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m Open HouseWeekend du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 9 , 2 0 1 4 8 AP Congratulations!Congratulations!

Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles, a current candidate for the position of Ward 3 Regional Council in the upcoming election, had to replace the sign located at the north- east corner of Liverpool and Kingston roads. “I think I put that sign up probably on Fri- day or Saturday and right now it’s slit right down the middle,” he said Monday morning. According to Durham Regional Police, they don’t get a lot of reports on sign dam- age, but they do come across it. Sergeant Bill Calder said he spotted some sign damage at Beatrice Street and Wilson Road in Oshawa. “I think a lot of it can be attribute to youths in the area as opposed to someone who is upset with the candidate,” said Sgt. Calder. He said this year, there has been one report of sign theft, which was reported by a candidate in Clarington. For a l l y o u r f a m i l y d e n t a l n e e d s .

KIDS ZONE BIRTHDAY PARTIES Go to www.kidszonedurham.ca to see all we have to offer and learn more about our Full Service Parties! A day to remember Do you remember that exciting day when your parents organized the very fi rst party for you and your friends? And now it’s time to organize your child’s fi rst party. Whether it’s to celebrate a birthday or a great report card, this day should be the best ever in your little one’s life. You don’t have to spend lots of money to put on a good kids’ party. Being creative and being prepared are the real keys. Send out invitations two weeks ahead of time and invite the number of friends that corresponds to your child’s age: four guests for four years old; ten years old, ten friends, et cetera. Organize enough activities to entertain the crowd for a few hours: games, treasure hunt, decorating cupcakes, dancing, and arts and crafts are all good ideas. Choose a theme and invite the children to dress-up for the occa- sion. Short on ideas? Hire a company that organizes children’s parties or rent a video game console or infl atable games. You could also hire an entertaining clown or magician. If at home it’s too small, take the gang out to a fun place, such as an amusement park, bowling alley, outdoor activity centre, go- karting track, movie theatre, sports complex, or an arts and crafts or cooking workshop. Many places offer package deals for chil- dren’s parties or rent out special rooms for birthday activities. Whatever sort of activity you choose for your child’s fi rst party, you’re sure to be rewarded with laughter, kisses, and hugs. And your little treasure will remember this day for the rest of his or her life. A child’s fi rst party is a very special occasion. On the menu: fun, lots and lots of fun!

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Answers to food safety questions No one wants their holidays ruined by an uninvited guest called Salmonella, a bacteria commonly associated with foodborne illness. Each year, thousands of Ontarians suffer from foodborne illness due to improper food handling. To prevent this from happening at your house, here are nswers to the most commonly asked questions: Q: Let’s talk turkey. What’s the best way to prepare it? A: Raw or undercooked poultry may be contaminated with bacteria. Cook thoroughly by using a food probe thermometer to test the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast or thigh. While cooking a full bird ensure the internal temperature reaches 82ºC (180ºF) for 15 seconds. For turkey parts, ground poultry or stuffing, temperatures must reach 74ºC (165ºF) for 15 seconds. Frozen poultry should never be thawed on the counter – keep it refrigerated at 4°C or below, until it is fully thawed and ready to cook. Q: What about stuffing the bird? To stuff, or not to stuff? A: Using stuffing inside the cavity of the bird is perfectly fine provided you’re accurately measuring the temperature, 74ºC (165ºF), with a food probe thermometer.

The Devi Mandir is celebrating 25 years as the land on which it currently sits on Brock Road in Pickering was purchased in 1989. Mr. Binda explained it opened in its Pickering location in 1997, but prior to that, it was operating out of Scarborough. So in honour of this milestone, the Devi Man- dir’s Diwali Mela is starting up a new tradition, a family photo booth. Festival-goers will be able to pose for photos with a Diwa- li-inspired backdrop and given a free digital copy of the photo. Diwali is also called Deepava- li or Dipavali. Typically, Hindus dress up in new clothes for the annual celebration. “Diwali is probably one of the largest Hindu festivals,” said Mr. Binda. “The actual name ‘Diwali’ means ‘a row of lighted lamps’.” The annual celebration is often known as the ‘festival of lights’ because houses, shops and pub- lic places are decorated with small oil lamps called diyas. However, the most significant spiritual meaning behind Diwa- li is “the awareness of the inner light.” The Hindu philosophy believes there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the ‘atman’ or ‘soul.’ The cele- bration of Diwali as the “victory of good over evil,” refers to the light of higher knowledge dispel- ling all ignorance. “Lighting the diya is awaking the divinity of us and removing all the darkness,” said Mr. Binda. During Diwali, Mr. Binda explained Hin- dus also celebrate Lakshmi, the Hindu god- dess of wealth, who represents both mone- tary wealth and knowledge. “One thing that I think we all share as a community is we need to sort of ignite that light of knowledge,” he said. “That is prob- ably what Diwali can bring for all members of all communities.” Entrance to the Diwali Mela is $10 for adults; $5 for kids 12 and under; and free for children five and under. The Devi Mandir is located at 2590 Brock Rd., Pickering. For more information, visit www.devimandir.com .

She recently won the award for Best Sculp- ture at the Oshawa Art Association’s annual juried exhibition for a hugely imaginative and hilarious 18-inch-high figurative piece comprised of a natural branch upper body with carved head and shoulders and bark sweater, skirted with an encircling strip of dried orange peel and having thorny stick legs and carved wooden pumps. Title? Girl With Unshaven Legs. The piece had been accepted previously at several other regional jury shows, winning People’s Choice Award at the Latcham Gal- lery (Stouffville) event last spring. Lindo was born and received her prima- ry and secondary school education -- plus some after-hours art lessons at a local col- lege -- in Jamaica before being brought to Toronto as a teen. She credits her mother with encouraging her ever-evolving creative urges by taking her to galleries and muse- ums in her native country -- even making sure she saw major art galleries on a trip to England when she was 10. In Toronto, she enrolled in the renowned art program at Central Technical School and thrived as she experimented in a myriad of media, directed by a staff of highly engaged and encouraging teachers. For the past several decades, she has worked in a variety of disciplines: at an ani- mation studio, as an assistant to a senior fine artist and in advertising, doing illustra- tions and logo and graphic design primarily on a freelance basis. All the while, Lindo has kept her fine art activities in motion, carv- ing wood and stone sculptures and making oil-on-canvas paintings. A cabinet in her home is filled with exquisite human and ani- mal and fantasy figures in wood, stone and ceramics -- even pencils turned into delight- ful, mini carved three-dimensional totems. Lindo and her sister and mother live in a rambling, old home in Pickering Village, the highlight of which is the large and eclectic collection of her various works. She belongs to several regional arts organizations and sculpture groups and shows often in their group and juried shows. The funky figures made with small branches and clothed in orange peels are a present and ongo- ing theme. However, Lindo will continue to allow her restless creative imagination to lead her wherever her muse calls. Susan Lindo can be contacted at sue-lin- do@hotmail.com. Allan O’Marra is a professional artist living and working in Ajax. For contact information go to www.allanomarra.com.

Photo by Allan O’Marra Help former Pickering resident get his show on TV PICKERING -- Adam Cawley, a comedian, writer and Second City Alumnus, hopes you laugh all the way to helping him and his fel- low funny guys earn $500,000. That’s what’s on the line in CBC’s Comedy Coupe. It’s a competition where the audience has the power to help get a favourite show concept the cash to make a half-hour special for CBC prime time. For 10 weeks starting on Oct. 2, Canadians who make comedy have been creating videos and more to catch your eye. They move on in the competition with voting and social sup- port from fans. Cawley and fellow comedy makers have entered a video for White Guys, which teas- es: “There are too many white guys on TV. The worst way to address this would be to make a show about it. Meet White Guys.” “White Guys is a show about four of the most privileged humans on earth, and their problems. You know, problems like trying to find ethically sourced cocaine, or whether they should say the n-word when listening to hip-hop.” Visit comedycoup.cbc.ca/cc/cana- da-2014 to support Cawley’s project.

And why wouldn’t they? After winning three of three on a trip through southwest- ern Ontario, the Lightning came out of the weekend in first place in the Provin- cial Women’s Hockey League with a mark of 6-1-1-0. Wins of 4-2 over London, 5-3 against Southwest and 5-2 over Bluewater moved their current winning streak to four games. “It’s tough to be in first place, so when- ever you are, it’s a good thing,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy. “The depth on the team has really shown early on. We’re getting scoring from all three lines. We’re getting timely goals from the D. Our goalies have been really solid. That depth in all three positions has been critical for us early on.” The lone loss on the card so far this season was a game in which the Lightning probably deserved a better fate, outshoot- ing Leaside 45-17 but losing 1-0. The tie, against Cambridge, was a game in which neither team was able to score in a 0-0 overtime tie. While the Lightning are getting contri- butions from all areas, Charlea Pedersen leads the way offensively. The rookie is among the top three in the league with 5-5- 10 points totals in eight games. “She’s got all the raw tools,” said Mur- phy of the newcomer. “She’s big, strong, fast, has a great shot. For her, it was just a matter of putting it all together. She’s certainly done that through the first eight games. “Did I expect it? Probably not this soon. But certainly knew she had the ability and potential to do that.” The league will take a sabbatical this weekend as some players attend a U18 evaluation camp in Orangeville. Among the Lighting players invited to take part are twins Taylor and Kaitlyn McManus, Kirsten MacDougall and Emily Jukosky. The Lightning return to action with a pair of home games Oct. 18 against Water- loo and Oct. 19 versus Stoney Creek.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Rugby Pickering’s John Moonlight to play for Canada’s rugby team at World Series tournament in Australia from Oct. 11-12 PICKERING -- John Moonlight will be pull- ing a Canadian sweater over his head once again when he represents the country for the first leg of the IRB men’s rugby sevens World Series. The Pickering native will be in Australia from Oct. 11-12 for the event. Moonlight was one of five Ontario play- ers who represented the province at the 2014 MacTier Cup Canadian champion- ships. The Ontario senior men’s team has won the last four Canadian titles, clinching this year’s championship in late September in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Moonlight is regarded as one of the best sevens players in the world, hav- ing been named to the 2013 international Dream Team. In addition to the five Ontario Blues players who will represent Canada in Aus- tralia, eight players have also been named to Canada’s roster for the 2014 IRB Ameri- cas rugby championship. The round robin- style tournament, played between Canada, USA, Uruguay and Argentina, is an IRB- sanctioned event designed to develop domestic-based players in the Americas. Hosted in Langford, B.C. on October 11, 15 and 19, the tournament is a crucial part of Canada’s preparations for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England and Wales. Success just keeps following Abdul-Rashid Pickering’s Speed Academy sprinter eyes scholarship, OFSAA and ultimately the Olympics Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Coming off an impressive sum- mer on the track, Oshawa’s Mariam Abdul- Rashid has big plans ahead in her final year of high school at Eastdale Collegiate. It seems nothing can stand in the way of the talented athlete -- certainly not the hur- dles she’s been breezing past. Competing for her Pickering-based Speed Academy club this summer, Abdul-Rashid set a personal best and finished fifth in the 400-metre hurdles at the world junior cham- pionships in Eugene, Oregon, and swept gold in all three of her individual events at the 2014 Legion Canadian youth champion- ships in Langley, B.C. With a new school year here, Abdul-Rashid is now focused in on the multiple scholar- ship offers coming her way and finishing with a bang at the OFSAA provincial champi- onships next June. “It’s interesting because it went from talk- ing to no universities to talking to a whole bunch really. It’s exciting and I can sign in November if I want to,” she says, fully expect- ing to do just that. Abdul-Rashid is a relative newcomer to the hurdles, having focused seriously on them only in the past year or so. In her first two years at OFSAA, competing in the maximum three individual events, she raced to victory in the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints both times. Last season, as a first-year senior, she intro- duced the hurdles and won both the 100m and 400m distances, breaking a 19-year-old OFSAA record in the latter. Although she recognizes the hurdles are likely where her future success will lie, she hasn’t given up on the sprints and expects to have another difficult decision come time for OFSAA, just as she did last year. “If the sprints are going better than they did last year then I might have to throw in some more sprints. If not, I might stick with the hurdles,” says Abdul-Rashid. “Last year I decided right before the qualifiers, so I’ll probably stress myself and do that again. I’m not really sure but I know I want to do three events.” Abdul-Rashid raised many an eyebrow by running 58.38 in the 400m hurdles at the last OFSAA meet, breaking the 1995 record of Nadia Schmiedt. Despite proving that was no fluke and run- ning a time of 57.42 this summer at the world junior championships, where she was two years younger than most, her competitive nature was very much evident afterward. “I was happy with it but I was going for a medal, so not completely happy with it,” she recalled. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 9 , 2 0 1 4 20 AP NEW!NEW!DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE Oshawa: 200 John St. W. oshawatrucking.com � �� 4-month internship with leading-edge transportation companies � �� Introduction to Supply Chain & Logistics � �� Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Air Brake Training � 50 hours of one-on-one in-cab instruction � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 40WEEKS PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT OPERATOR � �� Air Brake Training � Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Preparation for AZ Class license � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 8WEEKS TRACTOR-TRAILER (AZ) Member of:Delivered inPartnership with: Courses include a diploma from theTruck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TTSAO).
