Last winter an ice storm in late December felled trees, knocked down hydro wires and interrupted power to some homes for days. METROLAND FILE PHOTO Winter’s coming: Pickering gets ready for season Cleanup work and costs for 2013 ice storm are being finalized Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- In a winter for the ages, it was the storm of the season. The 2013 ice storm began rolling through Durham Region on Dec. 20 and by Dec. 23, thousands were without hydro after power lines were felled. Once the emergency phase was over, then came the cleanup phase and that continues to this day. Southern Durham municipalities are still adding up the numbers on now much the cleanup cost. Once that’s done, they’ll be applying to the provincial government for some financial relief. Tim Field, the manager of environmental services for Ajax, said the cleanup in the Town is almost complete.

They could sim- ply click and vote. And yet only 30.4 per cent of them did. At first glance, one could call the elec- tion results a disappointment. But Nicole Wellsbury, manager of legislative servic- es and deputy clerk, said the turnout was significantly up from years past. “I know it doesn’t sound great, but for Ajax that is quite good,” she said. “It’s our most substantial increase in quite a while.” In 2006, Ajax had a dismal 23-per cent voter turnout. It was 26 per cent in 2010. “The fact that we saw a 4.5-per cent increase this year is, to me, a huge suc- cess,” said Ms. Wellsbury. Ajax was the first municipality in the GTA to hold a completely paperless elec- tion, trading in paper ballots for the con- venience of voting online, any time and anywhere. Across the province, 97 munic- ipalities used some form of online voting. But Ajax was unique in offering polling stations where voters could only cast their ballot online. Ms. Wellsbury said that despite the new technology, there were few hiccups on election day. “I was surprised things went so smooth- ly,” she said. Residents had the option of voting online (92 per cent of voters did) or by phone (8 per cent) for more than a week prior to the election. Of the 70 per cent who voted at home, there were few com- plaints. But 30 per cent opted to go to a polling station on election day, where there were a few common issues: long lineups, late additions to the voters’ list and slow Inter- net connections. Because latecomers to the polling sta- tions had to be added to the list, the results were delayed. “That went on until 8:45, so we couldn’t get our results out at 9 o’clock,” said Ms. Wellsbury. “We took a lot of criticism for that, but this system allowed us to have all of our results at once as opposed to a poll at a time.” Next election there will be a bigger pub- licity push to get more people to vote from home. “We are hoping the split will be 80-20 or even 90-10 next time,” she said, adding the number is achievable if residents sim- ply open their mail. “People got the voter letter in the mail, and never opened it or read it,” she said. “We had tons of people at the polling sta- tions saying, ‘What do you mean I didn’t have to come here?’ We were like, ‘Just read the letter.’ ” According to Intelivote, the company that ran the online election for Ajax, 87 per cent of the people who voted online used a computer, eight per cent a tab- let and five per cent a smartphone. Less than one per cent used a device such as an iPod. The online vote also gave Ajax a higher voter turnout than neighbouring munici- palities such as Oshawa and Whitby, both at 26 per cent. Ms. Wellsbury said Ajax plans to debrief other Durham Region clerks this month and share its experience with others. “Generally we had a huge success here and people see that,” she said. “I am hop- ing that in 2018, we will see more munici- palities going to this model because it is really the way to go.” -- Torstar news services WILSON FURNITURE 20 Centre St. N., Downtown Oshawa, 905-723-2255 |www.wilsonfurniture.com COMFORT ONSALE!HOT BUYS ONRECLINERS!WHILESUPPLIES L AST!

What is a Transportation Master Plan? A TMP is a strategic planning document designed to define the policies,programs and infrastructure changes required to meet future transportation needs.It will address planned future growth in Durham by developing a transportation system that balances the need for road network expansion with more transit services,cycling and pedestrian opportunities,while enhancing safety,promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impacts. How You Can Get Involved We invite you to visit the project web site at www.durham.ca/tmp to learn the latest information about this important study.In addition we invite you to attend the first of three rounds of Public Information Centres (PICs)to discuss the future vision of transportation in Durham.The PICs will be held on four days at four different locations,and you are welcome to drop into any of the PICs at any time during the periods noted below.

All content copyright Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Editorial &&& Opinions Opinions Opinions Cell tower placement in Pickering To the editor: On Sunday, Nov. 9 my neighbour Natalie and I attended our first meeting of the Pickering West Shore Community Association. We were pleased to hear of all the issues that they are aware of and working on. They do a great job on behalf of the West Shore Community. One of the issues that came up was the place- ment of cellphone towers. We were shocked and appalled to find out a cell provider needs only notify the residents in a 150-metre (500- foot) radius. We were totally dismayed to learn a cell tower is being/has been installed in the Pet- ticoat Creek Conservation Area. How can this happen? A cell tower in an area designated as conservation. Now we know everyone uses cellphones, including myself, and we have to have these towers, but we ask why not in the industrial park just half a kilometre north? Just this morning I finished reading the cell tower protocol and have questions as well as constructive criticism. We hope to follow up with the City of Pickering as apparently this is a bylaw issue. We urge all concerned residents to do the same. Ingrid Fielden and Natalie MacKay Pickering Christy Chase Editor Booked Readers will pick Durham libraries’ Pass the Book for 2015 Each year, Durham libraries promote one book as their selection for Pass the Book, encouraging as many people as possible to read, share and dis- cuss that book. For 2015, readers across Durham will have input into what that selection is. The participating libraries (Oshawa, Clarington, Scugog, Whitby and Uxbridge) are inviting people to vote on three books that made the short list for 2015. Until Nov. 30, you can cast your vote for your favourite. The results will be revealed Jan. 27, Family Literacy Day. Very appropriate. Once the chosen book is revealed, readers across Durham can get busy reading the book, attending book- themed events at the libraries and discussing it with others. The three novels are The Confabulist by Ste- ven Galloway, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, and The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. They’ve all got a touch of the fantastic about them. The first book is woven around the life and death of famed illusionist and escape artist Harry Houdini and the life of the man some say killed him. The second book features a young man who loses his job and ends up working the night shift at the 24-hour bookstore of the title. He expects this to be a sedate job but it turns out you really can’t judge a book(store) by its cover. He and his friends set out to discover what’s really going on and find themselves in the middle of a literary adventure story. In the third book, two mythological creatures, one made of clay, the other of fire, land in New York in 1899. They try to pass as people, with varying degrees of success, and eventually become friends and confidantes. This book touches on fables, Yid- dish and Eastern European literature and historical fiction. So go vote before Nov. 30 at http://passthe- bookdurham.wordpress.com and wait to see which book won. Then you can read it and share. Or you can just read all three. Copy editor Christy Chase has read two of the three books. She’s not revealing how she’s voting. The Pickering food bank requires our help more than ever, and it doesn’t just need food donations but also monetary gifts to buy healthy food that has become more expensive for its growing number of recipients. The Durham Region health depart- ment’s 2014 Nutritious Food Basket report contains some sobering information: the cost of a basic healthy diet in Durham has increased by 11 per cent since 2011. In May the department surveyed the cost of almost 70 food items in nine Durham grocery stores. It found that a family of four must spend almost $800 per month on a basic healthy diet. And a healthy diet doesn’t just provide food to quiet a rumbling stomach. Debo- rah Lay, a public health nutritionist with the health department, tells us it is crucial for proper child growth and development and to lower the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. We’re used to the St. Paul’s On-the-Hill Community Food Bank in Pickering need- ing more donations to meet the need. How- ever now its director, Marg Jocz, is saying that while the need is going up, the food bank’s donations have gone down. Some people have come into the food bank as recipients when in the past they made food donations. The food bank receives donations which enable it to purchase food, but Ms. Jocz says that money is not buying as much food as it once did. This year St. Paul’s has spent $6,000 to purchase food to supplement donations it has received from the public. The Ontario Society of Nutrition Profes- sionals in Public Health and the Ontario Public Health Association recommend: legislation for subsidies and tax incentives to support the agri-food sector, and imple- menting a $100-per-month healthy food supplement for those on social assistance. But until a lasting solution to the prob- lem is found, St. Paul’s needs Pickering resi- dents to help it fill the important role it has in our community. Ms. Jocz noted that its Thanksgiving food drive was a success and St. Paul’s is count- ing on a large number of donations leading up to Christmas. We encourage all residents who can to make donations of food or money to the food bank to help it help the roughly 800 clients per month who require assistance. And not just once, but on an ongoing basis. Assisting the food bank is helping your neighbours. Visit www.stpaulsonthehillfoodbank.ca for ways to donate to the food bank. -- Pickering News Advertiser Help the Pickering food bank help your neighbours 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 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP About 2,000 women used Herizon House to escape violence Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- For 10 years, Herizon House has been, as the facility’s slogan says, “the first step towards hope.” Thousands of women and children have benefitted from the services and support offered by the shelter. The Ajax-based facil- ity offers 30 beds to help abused women and their children escape violence. Executive director Vanessa Falcon noted that “rarely” is there an empty bed. The shelter and its 32 employees primar- ily serve Ajax and Pickering, but clients could come from anywhere, Ms. Falcon said. “We do take women from outside the region. Even outside the province from time to time.” In addition to providing a safe haven, the shelter offers transitional housing sup- port, outreach services, such as education and awareness, and crisis counselling. That includes support for a woman as she leaves an abusive situation or how to maintain a healthy environment, Ms. Falcon added. There’s also support after a woman leaves the shelter. Bruce Boyle, the chairman of the board of directors, said the facility is greatly needed. “I think it’s because there are more inci- dents in the last little while of abuse on women,” Mr. Boyle said. The government calculates about one in five women is abused, he added. “Since we opened 10 years ago, we’ve prob- ably sheltered close to 2,000 women,” Mr. Boyle noted. Ms. Falcon noted, “Every woman is suscep- tible to it,” as abuse crosses all socio-econom- ic classes, religions, cultures and sexual ori- entations. “The shelters are just one piece of the service.” Most women contact the shelter through the police or a social services agency. The shelter has to find a safe way for the woman to get there. “Once she’s arrived, she’s welcomed by the staff and then given a room,” Ms. Falcon added. If the woman couldn’t gather together things such as clothing or toiletries, those are provided. “Initially, we do a lot of safety planning. In the first few days, there’s an introduction and she’s welcomed to the programs we offer,” Ms. Falcon said, adding clients are given an orientation and informed of what will hap- pen next. Psychologically, “often she’s very scared,” Ms. Falcon noted. Outreach crisis counsellor Camille Carrera said, “She’s anxious. Her anxiety is very high. They’re overwhelmed.” Women stay at the shelter on average for three months, Ms. Falcon said. One of the issues a woman would have to deal with is uprooting her children, including moving them out of their current school and putting them in a new institution. “For safety reasons, the majority of the time, kids go to a new school,” Ms. Falcon said. “She’s offered access to workshops and recreation. There’s music and art thera- py. There’s workshops on abuse education, housing, accessing legal supports,” Ms. Fal- con said. Ajax-based women’s shelter marks 10th anniversary AJAX -- Herizon House, a crisis shelter for women and children escaping abusive situations, is celebrating its 10th anniver- sary. Staff includes, from left, Vanessa Falcon, executive director, Camille Carrera, outreach crisis councellor and Tasha Wilson, program manager.

Electrically connected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms will not work when the power is out, unless they have battery backups. Make sure your home has a battery-oper- ated smoke alarm on every storey and a battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm outside the sleeping area. To reduce fire risk: • Use flashlights or battery-operated lanterns instead of hurricane lamps or candles. • Propane and charcoal barbecues are for outdoor use only. Do not bring them inside your home or garage as they produce carbon monoxide. • Make sure electric stove elements and small appli- ances are off or unplugged to prevent fires from starting when the electricity is restored. • Use only portable heaters that have been designed for indoor use and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Provide ade- quate ventilation by opening a window slightly when the heater is in use. • During a power outage, conduct regular safety checks of each room. Make sure every- one knows how to get out immediately if there is a fire. Practise your home fire escape plan. • Cordless phones will not work during a power outage. Make sure you have at least one phone that does not require electricity to operate. While portable generators can provide alternative energy during power outages, they can create electrical and health hazards if not properly installed, operated and maintained. Installing additional carbon monoxide alarms in your home will provide additional protection and peace of mind. When using generators: • Purchase generators with recognized approval labels. Make sure the unit has proper connection receptacles and circuit breakers. • Purchase approved transfer devices if the generator is to be hooked up to the household electrical system. • Hire a knowledgeable and licensed contractor to install the unit and have standby units inspected by the Electrical Safety Authority prior to use. • Portable generators should only be used outdoors and carefully located to ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the home. • Allow generators to cool before refuelling. Refuel the generator outside by following the manufacturer’s instructions. • Store fuel for the generator in approved containers, outside the home. -- With files from Parvaneh Pessian, Kristen Calis, Brad Andrews, Reka Szekely “We’re going through each street, tree by tree, looking for things we missed or weren’t called in,” Mr. Field said, adding the same work is also ongoing in parks and open spac- es. Staff wasn’t running into any hazardous situations, he said, noting “most of those are long gone. Now, it’s the final tidying up.” Christie McLardie, the manager of com- munications for Ajax, said the Town has until Dec. 31 to submit the final cleanup costs to the Province for consideration for reimburse- ment. WHITBY In Whitby, forestry crews continue cleanup efforts, now primarily focused in ravines. “We still have some work that will be ongo- ing in the ravines to try and get at the trees, particularly that are close to homes along the backyards in the ravines where, if they do fall, they could fall towards the homes, caus- ing damage to fences, pools and that sort of thing,” said Brent Rice, director of operational services for Whitby. Staff estimates that 2,500 municipal trees, located in the boulevards, parks and open spaces, were damaged in Whitby due to the ice storm. The Town has not received any money from the Province to date but has been approved to participate in the Ice Storm Assistance Pro- gram after submitting an expression of inter- est in June. The estimated cost of cleanup in Whitby at the time was in the order of about $795,000. “The Province reviewed that and have approved us to move forward to the second stage, which is to submit the amount that we’re looking for in terms of reimbursement and that is due by Dec. 31 so we’re currently working on that submission,” added Mr. Rice. Residents concerned about overhanging branches can contact the operations centre at 905-668-3437. CLARINGTON In Clarington, Basia Radomski, corporate communication officer, said all ice storm related cleanup work was completed in the middle of June and all external contractors involved have been paid. Clarington has not given final numbers for the cost of the cleanup and Ms. Radomski confirmed it has received no funds from the Province as part of Ontario’s Ice Storm Assistance Program to date. Franklin Wu, chief administrative officer, noted Clarington officials are “still current- ly counting the numbers” and admitted the process is taking longer than expected. That delay is because of stringent guidelines sent out by the Province in September, with the deadline for final claim submission set for Dec. 31. If Clarington residents have any issues related to trees that may have overhanging branches located on municipal property or along a road, they are asked to contact the operations department by telephone at 905- 263-2291 or by e-mail at operations@claring- ton.net. If there is a municipal tree concern after normal business hours and it’s an imme- diate safety hazard, residents should dial 911. If they’re calling after hours with a non-emer- gency concern, they may leave a message on the main reception line at 905-263-2291 ext. 521, or hang up and call the main town hall number at 905-623-3379. OSHAWA Jag Sharma, commissioner of community services in Oshawa, said there is still a little bit of work left to do, but most of the cleanup in the city was completed by late summer. “We still have some residual work to do, it may be in creek beds, it could be in other areas I’ll say, very cautiously, can wait,” Mr. Sharma noted. Crews are still out trimming trees across the city, but Mr. Sharma said that’s the normal work associated with maintaining Oshawa’s urban canopy of trees. Overall, Mr. Sharma said there are lessons to be learned from the ice storm, but he believes Oshawa staff did well working as a team and having “all hands on deck.” One change heading into the coming win- ter is that Oshawa will be renting space ahead of time to store salt, something the City ulti- mately had to do last year as well. Oshawa’s initial estimate was that the ice storm cost roughly $2 million. City officials are currently working on finalizing Oshawa’s submission to the Province for storm relief. Tony Tollis, Oshawa’s interim treasurer, said he expects Oshawa’s submission to be com- plete by the end of November. PICKERING Pickering has completed all of its clean- up, but still has to remove the trees that are beyond repair, said Richard Holborn, director of engineering and public works. Trees that were damaged, broken and fallen were removed as soon as possible, and hang- ing branches were cut back. “The tree was left in a state where it was no longer dangerous,” he said, adding there are still leftover tree stumps throughout the city, especially in parks, which were hard to access during the winter. Since the Province doesn’t cover the cost for the removal of trees, the City will remove the stumps during its block pruning program, where crews will stump them out by grinding the tree trunk below the surface. “At the end of the day there’s nothing stick- ing up,” said Mr. Holborn. The City is still finalizing numbers before it submits the costs it expects to be reimbursed for by the Province, which include setting up the warming centres, staff overtime and hir- ing contractors. Pickering still finalizing storm costs DURHAM -- Crews worked many long hours to restore power at to residents after last December’s damaging ice storm that struck the region. It left many without power for several days, and required months of cleanup. Below, ice forms on the branches of trees, adding to their weight and, in many cases, causing them to fall on power lines. METROLAND FILE PHOTOS PICKERING from page 1 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 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 9 APNuclear group pleased with pill plan Potassium iodide pills to go to homes near Pickering nuclear plant Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- By the end of this year, residents who live near the Darlington and Pickering nuclear stations will receive pills to protect them in case of a nuclear accident. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission recently updated regulations to require potas- sium iodide pills, which work to prevent the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine, be distributed to all homes, businesses and insti- tutions within 10 kilometres of nuclear gener- ating stations in Ontario by December 2015. “Any step forward is to be celebrated,” said Janet McNeill, member of Durham Nuclear Awareness. But the former Durham resident, who now lives in Toronto, and others feel the zone should be expanded. Switzerland, for exam- ple, is providing the pills to people living within 50 kilometres of nuclear plants. The Province of Ontario determines the radius of the primary zone here. “I think (the Province) has been compla- cent and they need to step up to the plate,” Ms. McNeill said. “It’s going to have to be transparent.” She referenced independent third-party studies on the CNSC’s website that describe the benefits of distributing KI pills in advance to citizens within a 48-kilometre radius of a nuclear power plant, and the need for time- ly and correct consumption of the pills in the case of a nuclear accident. Brent Ross, a spokesman with the Minis- try of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said in an e-mail the 10-kilometre range “was determined in discussions with safety experts on the best available science and enhanced safety measures present at Ontario facilities.” He said the ministry will ensure there are sufficient supplies for beyond the 10-kilome- tre zone. Currently, KI pills are kept in pharmacies and community centres for people who live within 10 kilometres of the Pickering, Dar- lington and Bruce nuclear stations. “There are enough pills in Durham Region and east Toronto for 400,000 people,” said Neal Kelly, Ontario Power Generation corpo- rate spokesman. Whitby resident Gail Cockburn, who was a member of DNA in its infancy and says mem- bers are not radicals, but just concerned with public safety, is pleased with the latest deci- sion. She does not live within the 10-kilome- tre range. “This is the first time the CNSC has advocat- ed for pre-distribution of potassium iodide,” she said. “We applaud them for making that first step at 10 kilometres but we feel ... that the radius should be extended beyond that.” OPG, the government-owned utility that operates Pickering and Darlington, and the privately run Bruce Power, which operates the Bruce nuclear station, are responsible for buying enough KI pills for everyone living near the plants, but it’ll be up to the munici- palities to distribute them, said Mr. Kelly. “There will be significant distribution costs because you’ll have to have a lot of commu- nications, a significant education campaign plus a way to deliver these pills to each per- son,” said Mr. Kelly. Mr. Ross said the Provincial Nuclear Emer- gency Response Plan is regularly reviewed and exercises are conducted; the latest was in May which included more than 1,000 partici- pants, including OPG. Mr. Kelly emphasized that the need to take the KI pills is “a highly unlikely scenario.” He said since being in operation since 1971, OPG has excellent safety records. “No one in the public has been harmed,” he said. - With files from Torstar news service WHITBY -- Gail Cockburn, a member of Durham Nuclear Awareness, is pleased that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission recently updated regulations to require potassium iodide (KI) pills be distributed to all homes, businesses and institutions within a 10-kilometre radius of power plants in Ontario.

Durham Catholic board looks to expand continuing education DURHAM -- The Durham Catholic District School Board is launching a review of its con- tinuing education programs. Trustees authorized staff to commission the study at a special board meeting on Nov. 3. It will look at existing programs and loca- tions, and explore opportunities for expand- ing into areas the board doesn’t current- ly serve. “As adult education continues to grow in demand, it’s essential that we meet the diverse needs of our communities,” says Anne O’Brien, director of education for the DCDSB. In 2011, trustees voted to expand continu- ing education programs and capacity grew significantly with the opening of Archbish- op Anthony Meagher Catholic Secondary School in Ajax in 2013. The board’s Discov- ery 2020 strategic plan identifies continu- ing education as a key area for development between 2014 to 2019. The three strategic priorities that the board has identified for continuing education are career training and personal development, expanding and extending programs, and promoting student engagement. 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 1 3 , 2 0 1 4 12 AP NapaneeBrighton OshawaPickering Bewdley Iroquois Lansdowne Proposed Pipeline Route Existing Natural Gas Pipeline Existing Compressor Station NHighway 401 Existing Compressor Stations (additional compression to be added) Open House Locations You are invited to attend aTransCanada Open House for the proposed Eastern Mainline Project.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING 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 Durham police food and toy drive launches Cops accepting donations across region until Christmas Day Brad Andrews bandrews@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham police are asking the public for help in making the holidays a little eas- ier for the region’s less fortunate, The students at Bowmanville’s John M. James Public School were treated to a Wednesday morning of music and holiday spirit as the Durham Regional Police officially launched their 2014 Christmas Food and Toy Drive. Durham Police Chief Paul Mar- tin and Chief-for-a-Day winner Victoria Broomer joined Santa Claus and a crowd of students, parents and police officers in launching the annual charity event with performances by the police band The Heat, and the school band. For 26 years the drive has raised food and toy donations for those in need across the region. Officially starting Nov. 12 the drive will run right up until Dec. 25 but Const. Paul Hawry- chuk, regional co-ordinator of the drive, hopes most donations will come in before the deadline. “We like to get the donations by Dec. 22 so we can get the gifts to the families by Christmas,” said Const. Hawrychuk. “We rely on the community to donate what they can in terms of toys and donations. “We don’t set any goals but the community is really generous.” According to numbers given by Chief Martin, who was sporting his Movember moustache, 150 volunteers committed more than 2,000 hours during last year’s drive. Vehicles were driven more than 30,000 kilometres for pick- ups and deliveries of donations. “We look forward to making this a bigger and better event every year,” said Chief Mar- tin, who added the drive helps more than 90 agencies distribute donations across the region. “It’s important to have food in your fridge and to be able to have a nice meal with your fam- ily and certainly it’s nice to have a gift,” he said. “That’s what this food and toy drive is all about, helping out those in need.” Each year a different school is chosen to host the launch and Deputy Chief Scott Burns said they’re chosen by looking at Santa’s naughty and nice lists. This year, he said, John M. James Public School had the most chil- dren on the nice list. Donations for the Food and Toy Drive can be dropped off at any DRPS Division across Durham and at fire stations in Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington and Ajax. Other dropoff locations will be available and marked with official DRPS signage.

Durham boy suffers life-threatening reaction at school School board says communication key to protecting kids with severe allergies Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An Oshawa mother is urging parents to respect peanut-free policies, after her three-year-old son suffered a life-threat- ening reaction at school. On Nov. 4, Emmett Huggard, who is in junior kindergarten at Dr. S.J. Phillips Public School, was inside during lunch hour when he spotted a green candy on the floor and ate it. His parents aren’t positive what kind of candy it was, but suspect a peanut M&M, likely a Halloween treat. “The next thing they knew he was acting funny and crying. Then he started clawing at his throat,” says Emmett’s mother, Robin Huggard. His teachers reacted immediately -- Emmett was treated with an epinephrine injector (EpiPen) and later taken to hospital. The kindergartener came out of the inci- dent unscathed, but his parents are left shak- en -- and shocked that candy containing pea- nuts was sent to school. “So much information comes home about the peanut policy,” Ms. Huggard says. “But still, people don’t seem to get it.” Emmett was diagnosed with a peanut aller- gy at age two-and-a-half, when he broke out in hives. The incident at school was the first time he has required an EpiPen. Emmett’s parents have nothing but praise for how the school handled the emergency situation, saying the teachers were “amaz- ing.” But the scare has left them questioning whether very young children with allergies are safe at school. “The reaction can be more severe each time, so we’re very concerned now. We even considered taking him out of school until he’s older,” says Ms. Huggard, noting that as a December baby, Emmett is among the younger children in full-day kindergarten. Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that has rapid onset and can cause death. Multiple body systems can be affected including skin, cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal. Common triggers include food such as peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish and soy, as well as insect stings and medications. Doug Crichton, superintendent of opera- tions for the DDSB, says there is a “low inci- dence” of anaphylactic reactions in the board’s schools. He says the key to protecting kids with severe allergies is making sure everyone involved -- students, teachers, parents and the broader community -- know what is safe and not safe to bring into the schools. “The education piece (is) so important,” he notes. Each individual school is responsible for sharing information about any life-threaten- ing allergies within its student population. That ongoing communication takes the form of notices on all school external doors and inside the building, as well as newslet- ters, letters sent home to parents, informa- tion on the school’s website and discussions in the classroom. Mr. Crichton noted DDSB schools are con- sidered “allergy aware” as opposed to free of all allergens. “We can’t guarantee 100 per cent, by nature of it being a public building,” he explains. Sabrina’s Law requires every district school board in Ontario to have policies, procedures and training in place to protect student at- risk for anaphylaxis. OSHAWA -- Three-year-old Emmett Huggard recently had an anaphylactic allergic reaction at school, after finding a peanut candy on the floor and eating it. He is in junior kindergarten at S.J. Philips school which has a no-peanut policy. Emmett’s mom Robin is frustrated that parents aren’t following it, potentially putting children’s lives at risk.

In order to avoid the illness, health officials encourage people to follow some simple guidelines. Most importantly, they strongly urge people to get a flu shot. There’s no cost to have a shot and it can be done at a doctor’s office or even a pharmacy. Here are some upcoming flu clinics: Metroland Graphic/Adam Nizio Stay Home if you are sick.

Simply just be a friend,” says David Milgaard, 62, whose case is one of Canada’s most famous examples of wrongful conviction. He brought his story and his advoca- cy message to Durham College on Nov. 5, where hundreds of students packed a campus gym to hear him speak, many sitting on the floor or standing along the walls. Most people in the room were too young to remember Mr. Milgaard’s head- line-grabbing case first-hand. In 1969, at the age of 17, he was pass- ing through Saskatoon when he was arrested and charged with the murder of 20-year-old nursing student Gail Miller. Mr. Milgaard was found guilty of the crime and sentenced to life in prison in 1970. He was finally released in 1992 after the Supreme Court of Canada reviewed his case, and his innocence was con- firmed by DNA testing in 1997. A man named Larry Fisher, who lived in the neighbourhood where Ms. Miller was murdered, was later convicted as the real killer. The soft-spoken Mr. Milgaard described his 23 years in prison as a “nightmare” and urged students to con- sider how many Canadians might be serving time for crimes they did not commit. Even those who have done wrong deserve to be treated with compassion, he said, and helped to reintegrate into society. “I strongly believe everyone locked up inside Canada’s criminal justice system is in serious trouble,” Mr. Milgaard told the crowd. “There’s not much love and care inside those walls. I know how well people can do when you surround them with love and care, and we know how well they can fail without it.” Mr. Milgaard praised the restorative justice approach as the best way to break the cycle of crime and address the root causes of criminal acts. He said locking people away in “cages” alters their morality and their percep- tion of right and wrong. “This is why I feel it’s more of a crime to put some young kid inside prison for stealing some tires from a garage, than ... stealing the damn tires,” he said, stressing that “criminality grows crimi- nality.” The presentation was organized by the Durham College School of Interdisci- plinary Studies and Employment Servic- es as part of ongoing efforts to bring in speakers who are directly related to pro- gram curriculum. “(Students) are used to hearing and reading about these people, but this makes it considerably more tangible. It brings that newspaper clipping or text- book story to life,” says Kevin Baker, dean of the school. In 2013, Durham College hosted for- mer professional hockey player and sex- ual abuse survivor Sheldon Kennedy, who described how he overcame years of abuse at the hands of his junior hock- ey coach. UOIT has also featured a wrongful con- viction advocate -- last year Jeff Smith told a criminal justice class his story of being wrongfully charged and convicted of killing his infant daughter. After Mr. Milgaard was cleared of any wrongdoing, he was awarded a $10-mil- lion compensation package from the federal government and Saskatchewan provincial government. Today he mostly stays out of the pub- lic eye, but does occasional speaking engagements. Mr. Milgaard told Durham College stu- dents he was moved by the turnout to hear him speak. “It makes a difference for me to see so many of you here who care for others,” he said. David Milgaard tells story of wrongful conviction OSHAWA -- David Milgaard was wrongly convicted of murder and served 23 years in prison before being released in 1992. DNA evidence cleared his name in 1997. He is now an advocate for the wrongly convicted and spoke to students at Durham College.

This year, close to 14,000 students from 34 schools participated in the initiative, recording 23,204 random acts of kind- ness. YWCA Durham organizes the week-long event in conjunction with International Week Without Violence. This year, students were encouraged to do random acts from Oct. 13 to 17. The honourary title of “Durham’s Kind- est School” for 2014 goes to Immaculate Conception Catholic School in Port Perry and runners-up are William Dunbar Pub- lic School in Pickering and St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School in Ajax. “We are very proud of all of the schools who participated and are very excited to see the program grow beyond the Week Without Violence and become incorpo- rated at other times of the year into their regular school activities,” says Sue Dafoe, manager of communications and fund development at YWCA Durham. “The ultimate goal is to teach students that being kind should happen every day. Together, as a community, we can make a difference.” Examples of this year’s random acts of kindness include students at Bellwood Public School in Whitby making cupcakes for police, fire and emergency service workers, and students at John Dryden Public School in Whitby holding a food drive.

Ajax Community Theatre begins the 2014/15 slate with the timely A Tuna Christmas, opening Nov. 20 and running to Nov. 29. Director Nancy Palumbo of Pickering notes that she also directed ACT’s first- ever production, Greater Tuna. The Tuna franchise is set in what’s billed as the third-smallest town in Texas and was con- ceived by two actors who originally per- formed as many as 20 or more characters, Palumbo says. “They would just constantly change a hat, a shirt, a wig, sometimes on stage before your very eyes, sort of like sketch comedy,” she says. Palumbo will have four actors, each per- forming five or six characters. They are Mark Salonius, Jonathan Aiken and Sarah Liis-Jones, all of Ajax, and Aileen Lewis of Whitby. The Tuna plays gently poke fun at small- town characters. And while Palumbo says there are some returning characters and some new ones in A Tuna Christmas, you will be able to follow along just fine if you haven’t seen the first play. Palumbo says in A Tuna Christmas, there’s a Christmas yard display contest running in the town and many residents are taking part, including a woman who’s taken the title 14 times. However someone is vandalizing the displays. The group next presents Crimes of the Heart from Feb. 26 to March 7 and like Tuna, it’s set in the American south. “It’s three sisters in Mississippi who are getting back together, one of them in par- ticular has been away for a long time,” Palumbo says. The play features “very strong woman characters” and the subject matter is mainly family relationships and dramas in a small town, she says. “It’s a strong character study (which) makes it very interesting, the dynamics between the sisters,” Palumbo says. The season wraps up with One for the Road, running May 28 to June 6. Palumbo says British author Willy Rus- sell is also the pen behind such well- known works as Shirley Valentine and Educating Rita. “This is one of his lesser known but I think one of his finest,” she says. It’s set in the UK in the suburbs and focuses on two couples. Conformity and fighting against it are the main themes and Palumbo says there’s a running joke about a pair getting lost because all of the houses look the same. Ajax Community Theatre performs at the St. Francis Centre, 78 Church St. S., Ajax. Tickets are $20 each or $45 for all three plays. For tickets, call 289-892-4132, visit ajax- communitytheatre.com or get tickets at the St. Francis Centre 30 minutes before show time on the day of show.

Ajax Creative Arts presents its 2014 Fall Show and Sale Nov. 14 to 16 at the Ajax Community Centre. “I have always had an interest in the arts as I grew up watching my father paint,” she says. A member of the art community for more than 30 years, Heard is an award- winning artist whose work has been in many juried and non-juried shows and can be found in corporate and pri- vate collections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. She is a member of several art groups and exhibits in numerous galleries. Heard works in acrylic and mixed media and describes her painting style as impressionistic and semi-abstract. As for subject matter, she says she “feels a connection with nature and paints colourful floral gardens and landscapes.” For the Ajax show, Heard will be show- ing mostly new mixed media work and some miniature florals. The show is in the community centre’s H.M.S. Ajax Room at 75 Centennial Rd. The hours are Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Nov. 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to the art, he show also fea- tures Bonnie’s Tea Room and the door prize is a painting by Pickering artist Bonnie Lusty.

The Gryphons beat the Redmen 15-12 to repeat as cup champions. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Ajax- Pickering Dolphins to host two division football title games PICKERING -- The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins Football Club will have two teams competing for the eastern division cham- pionship this weekend. The atoms (10 and under) and the ban- tams (13 and 14 year olds) both shut out their opponents last weekend to advance to the Ontario Varsity Fall Football League semifinals. Head coach Barry Trench and the atoms won their game handily over the visiting Oshawa Hawkeyes 39-0, and rookie head coach Kyle Patterson and the bantams continued their defensive dominance and remained undefeated for the season by beating the visiting Metro Toronto Wild- cats 49-0. As usual, Dolphins Nation was there in full support of the teams and will be there again this Sunday, wearing their teal and orange to support the teams. The atoms kick off their division final against the Burlington Stampeders at 12:30 p.m. and the bantams will face rivals The Toronto Thunder, beginning at 3 p.m. All of the action will take place at Kinsmen Park in Pickering. Whitney Ellenor earns athlete of week honours WATERLOO -- Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks women’s basketball forward Whit- ney Ellenor of Pickering has been named the Laurier Bookstore Athlete of the Week for the week ending Nov. 9. Ellenor tied Laurier’s modern school record for rebounds in a game against Ryerson. Despite Laurier suffering a 66-59 loss, the fifth-year history major was a force, finishing the game with 20 points and 17 rebounds, matching the mark set by Renata Adamczyk back in 2008. She also recorded five blocks in the game, a feat she’s accomplished four times in her career. Ellenor would go on to post 12 points and nine rebounds in the Hawks 85-63 win over Toronto on Saturday. The Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate earned Female Athlete of the Week honours for the first time this sea- son and second time in her career. Goals hard to come by for Jr. Lightning AJAX -- It doesn’t get much closer than this. In the past six games the Durham West Jr. Lightning have played in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, 12 goals have been scored. Total. By both teams. That trend continued through the week- end and again on Tuesday night, as only two goals were needed by the winning side in each outing. Unfortunately for the Light- ning they could only muster two goals just once, blanking Mississauga 2-0, but lost by identical 2-1 scores at home to Whitby on Saturday and again Tuesday night in Etobi- coke. In the win over Mississauga, Charlea Pedersen and Alexandra Maw had first- period goals, while Rebecca Clark stopped 13 shots to post a shutout. In the loss to Whitby, Emily Jukosky had the lone goal for the Lightning, who finished the game going 0-for-7 on the power play. Tuesday in Etobicoke, Kaitlyn McManus scored with just 10 seconds left in the game and the goalie pulled for an extra attacker in the 2-1 loss. The Lightning hold a 9-4-2-0 record, tied for fourth, 12 points back of league-leading Oakville, but with a pair of games in hand. The Lightning visit Cambridge Saturday afternoon, hosting Toronto at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Ajax Community Complex. AJAX -- Durham West Junior Lightning Maria Dominico made a move on Mississauga Junior Chiefs Gabby Smyth during their Provincial Women’s Hockey League game at the Ajax Community Centre.
