YMCA office helps young people find jobs Ajax-Pickering MP announces $749,000 to help area’s young adults get skills to find work Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When Shayne McAllister decided he wanted to find a permanent job and plant some roots in Durham, he had a hard time finding work. The young adult applied to jobs daily and even landed interviews. “My main barrier with getting employment was that I moved around a lot,” he said. He felt employers didn’t want to risk hiring someone who had a history of working for only months at a time. Finally, he found success after using the Youth Careers Program at the Pickering YMCA Employment Resource Centre. The program offers four weeks of workplace employability skills and four weeks of paid employment and on-the-job training to peo- ple between the ages of 15 and 30. On top of the training, the centre was able to convince a local employer that Mr. McAllister was seriously looking for permanent work. “I was able to turn my life around,” he said. Thanks to funding by the federal govern- ment, more youth will have better access to getting the skills and work experience they need to get a job. Ajax-Pickering MP Chris Alexander, Can- ada’s Minister of Citizenship and Immi- gration, and Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State (Finance) announced on Nov. 12 that $749,000 from the Skills Link program will go to the YMCA of Greater Toronto and the Youth Education Arts and Health (YEAH) Foundation, both of which help young peo- ple between 15 and 30 get the information and gain the skills, experience and abilities they need to find meaningful jobs. The fund- ing will help nearly 200 young people fac- ing barriers to employment, the government said. Mr. Alexander said getting the right people in the right careers is a major focus of the fed- eral government. Mr. Sorenson said the local community is better off when more people are working. “The province is stronger, the country is stronger when peo- ple have the right job and the right oppor- tunities,” he said Mr. Alexander said there is more to do to tackle youth unemploy- ment, “hence our presence here today and hence today’s announcement.” Samantha Teney, general manager of employment and community at the YMCA of Greater Toronto, said today’s youth are in major competition with older workers, many of whom have been displaced. “So the typical entry-level jobs that our youth would have taken are being taken by those that are taking survival jobs right now,” she said. Also, employers are sometimes afraid to take a chance with youth. She says the new funding will allow the YMCA to help more youth in the same group setting that helped Mr. McAllister. The pro- gram engages them in opportunities for job search workshops, and teaches them a num- ber of life skills such as problem solving, communication, conflict resolution, budget- ing and wellness. It also pays their minimum wage for four weeks. Mr. McAllister was hired full-time at Value Village in Ajax after his first four weeks on the job were up. Pauline Ben- nett, president of the YEAH foundation, said funding will give youth employability life skills, which prepares them for the workplace. “It also provides wage subsidies to employ- ers to allow them to mentor and provide youth with practical work experience,” she said. “The foundation could not carry out this needed project without the support of this funding. To date, 134 youth have received life skills training and job placements, with 65 per cent becoming employed and 10 per cent returning to school.” HOW THIS I M P A C T S Y O U • Young people a r e h a v i n g a t o u g h t i m e finding work, c o m p e t i n g w i t h o l d e r w o r k - ers who have b e e n l a i d o f f • $749,000 will h e l p 2 0 0 y o u n g D u r h a m residents gain t h e s k i l l s t h e y n e e d t o f i n d jobs PICKERING -- Shayne McAllister used the Youth Careers program at the YMCA to help get a job.

Covanta, the operator of the Durham York Energy Centre, will conduct tests of the facil- ity as part of the commissioning process prior to the first load of waste being delivered. Early testing includes cleaning of the steam process piping to make sure the facility is ready to process waste and generate electric- ity. Known as steam blows, the process will create a steam plume and noise at the plant. The plume is only steam and doesn’t pose a risk to the public or the environment. Steam blows will be done several times. The facility is on Osbourne Road, in the Courtice Road and Hwy. 401 area of Claring- ton. Cliff Curtis, the Region’s works commis- sioner, said testing has been ongoing for some time. Previous testing included using natural gas to heat up the boiler and pressure testing the boiler. Steam blows are “a bit noisy” so the Region wanted to notify nearby residents, he said. “They’re basically going to blow steam through all the piping to clean it. It’s quite noisy,” Mr. Curtis said. Covanta still needs some approvals before the facility can begin receiving waste, includ- ing approval from the Clarington Fire Depart- ment. Once the approvals are in place, there will be a 30-day testing period, Mr. Curtis noted. The steam blows will begin in early to mid November and the facility should be up and running full-time in January. When operating at maximum capacity, it will burn 140,000 tonnes of trash annu- ally, generating 17.5 megawatts of energy -- enough to power 10,000 homes.

We are aware that there are people who live with mental or physical disabilities, yet there are minimal support systems for them. Luckily, there are places, such as the Abilities Centre in Whitby, which allows individuals with mental or physical chal- lenges to partake in the same activities as able-bodied individuals. There should be more facilities like the Abilities Centre that supports mental and physical disabilities. This will be an ongoing problem until something is done to provide the support disabled individuals need. Bring attention to the situation and make it stick. Make a change. Olivia Hill Even the lowly toilet has its day We use them every day -- at home, school, work, restaurants, shopping malls, sports arenas -- yet we hardly ever think or talk about them. When we do talk about them we are embarrassed. You must admit we take the common toi- let for granted. Why, then, is the toilet being recognized by the UN and Rotary International by giv- ing it its own day -- World Toilet Day? This year on Nov. 19 we will recognize the common toilet as a real hero in the sav- ing of millions of lives annually. This will be the 13th World Toilet Day. Why does the toilet rate such an impor- tant recognition? The reasons are not known or clear to everyone. The facts are these. One-third of the world’s population (2.6 billion people) do not have toilets or any access to any other basic sanitation. In these areas 6,000 children under the age of five years die every single day from diar- rheal diseases caused by lack of proper sanitation and poor hygiene practices. Diar- rheal diseases kill more children annually than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. The World Health Organization estimates that one million children’s lives, under the age of five, would be saved if we could train them to simply wash their hands after they “do their business.” Lack of toilets at schools or privacy in toilets at schools prevent many young girls from going to school during their men- strual time. This leads to increasing illit- eracy among young girls. One of Rotary International’s areas of focus is water and sanitation. When providing much-needed fresh water to those who need access to it, Rotary now includes the building of proper sanitary toilets and training in hand washing as part of the project. The toilet is truly a lifesaver. So, on Nov. 19 when you visit the bathroom, reflect on the importance of this device you are sitting on. And wash your hands when you are done. –– Ted Morrison is the past district governor with Rotary International District 7070 Ted Morrison Guest column Looking back Safety before self in Durham schools A young Oshawa boy’s decision to eat a candy he found at school inadvertently revived the debate regarding peanut-free policies in local facilities, and shone a light on an emerging intolerance. Little Emmett Huggard was at junior kin- dergarten class on Nov. 4 when he spotted a green candy on the floor. At age three, he did what most young boys at his age would do: he picked it up and ate it. Unfortunately, Emmett suffers from a severe peanut allergy and the candy he con- sumed sent him into anaphylactic shock. Quick thinking by school staff, who used an epi-pen to treat his allergic reaction, avert- ed a potential tragedy. If nothing else, the fact that staff knew what to do -- and did it -- underscores the value of school policies to manage such emergencies. But the experience also demonstrates the need for peanut-free schools in our com- munities, despite the litany of complaints, insensitive commentary and entitlement that exists in the community, based on the social media reaction to Emmett’s fright- eningly close call. Chief among the com- plaints was that Emmett’s parents some- how failed in not “teaching” the boy about foods that are off limits. This is a three-year- old boy whose cognitive and language skills are still in the early stages of development. To suggest it is his parent’s fault, or worse, Emmett’s, as some suggested on social media, is appalling. Other parents have asserted that they routinely ignore school policies on peanut- free foods, suggesting that Emmett’s “right” to an allergy-free school environment shouldn’t infringe on their “right” to pack whatever lunch they want for their children. That too is appalling. We also have free- dom of speech in Canada, enshrined in our charter of rights and values, but it is still ille- gal to yell ‘fire’ in a crowded room where no fire exists. In this case, it is the school community that must take leadership and support, through their actions, the overall health of the student body. There is no equivalent between a child whose life could be put at risk over a sand- wich -- or, in this case, a candy -- and anoth- er who might miss out on the taste and tex- ture of a peanut butter and jam sandwich, however lovingly made by a parent at home. We call on Durham families to fully sup- port these policies at their schools and choose the health and safety of all children over the relative inconvenience that pea- nut-free school policies represent. There is only one thing I would happily wait in line for I hate lining up for things. It’s not that I’m impatient. I think I’m actually a very patient individual. I’ve been patiently wait- ing for 25 years, after all, for Martin Scors- ese to call. I think it’s more of a humility thing. If I stand in line for more than a few minutes I begin to feel faintly bovine. Like I’m no longer in control of my life. I’m sure others must feel the same way. How else to explain the cow-eyed look of defeat on so many faces shuffling through the cordons at the bank or any governmental agen- cy? It’s like we’re all moo-ing our way into Canada Packers. What makes the lining-up experience doubly unpleasant for me is the fact that I’m generally lining up to give someone my money. I’ve never quite come to grips with the logic of that. I get the same feel- ing when I call a company and I’m put on hold. My patronage means so little to you and your organization that you want me to wait to do business with you? That’s a pill I’ve never happily swallowed. Which is why, unless there’s a chance of incarcera- tion if I don’t line up to pay you, I won’t. I will not willingly line up to gain entrance to a movie, restaurant, theatre, bar or retail establishment of any kind. Which is why I found myself shaking my head this past week as I listened to radio reports of hundreds of people lining up outside Massey Hall from six in the morn- ing for a rumored Prince concert. The operative word here is ‘rumored’. Based on the Gibraltar-like integrity of a Twit- ter feed, Prince fans began to camp out for hours and hours in the hopes of forking over mini-mortgages to see him. Twelve hours later, when it became apparent that the artist formerly known as ‘hoax’ was not anywhere near Massey Hall, the misinfor- mation having been tweeted by a twit, the lineups of the now-chagrined faithful final- ly dissipated. Oddly enough, the news of this buffoon- ery left me slightly conflicted. On the one hand I was rolling my eyes at the thought of anyone willingly wasting a whole day lin- ing up in the cold for absolutely bupkis, but on the other, I found myself a little envious of people who harbored that much passion for something. And I wondered, was there anyone or anything that I might do that for? Who or what would be worth lining up to see? It should come as no surprise that gen- erally speaking, it’s the very young who happily line up for hours. Their lives seem interminable. Those of us with a few more rings on our trunks are more aware of how short life is and therefore how precious our time here is. So what, at this stage of my life, might actually be worth waiting for? What about the chance to sit at the feet of Jesus, the Buddha or Socrates? A few hours chat- ting with Emerson, Lincoln or Thoreau? Tempting. But as wonderful as those expe- riences might be, my answer to this query came to me very quickly and easily. I would wait a very long time indeed for the chance to speak with my dead brother, J.J., once more. To chat, to catch up, to ask him what he’s been up to all these years and why he left us so early. Now that would be worth waiting for. I guess I am lining up after all. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 10 Great movies for the Christmas season Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook. com/newsdurham Poll GIVE AND TAKE: An Oshawa food pantry that pro- vides grocery support for the needy was burglar- ized twice in recent months, leaving it with little cash as the Christmas season approaches. Here’s what people were saying on Facebook: A recent child abduction from a school yard in Ontario has raised questions about security.

To see this list and others online, go to WOW under the What’s On tab at durhamregion.com The InBox A recent survey reveals that among the 81 per cent of Ontarians with a fuel-burning appliance in their home, nearly half (45 per cent) have only one carbon monoxide (“CO”) alarm in their multiple level home, putting themselves and their families at risk of a potentially deadly CO leak going undetected. Known as the “silent killer,” CO poisoning is responsible for hundreds of hospitalizations and more than 10 deaths in Ontario each year. The survey also tested Ontarians’ knowl- edge about CO, and found that: • 40 per cent with a fuel burning appliance worry about suffering from CO poisoning. • 87 per cent have at least one CO alarm in place, but not necessarily in the right loca- tion. • 32 per cent have a CO alarm too close (with- in 1.5 metres or five feet) to their furnace. • 13 per cent have it too close to their gas fire- places. • 11 per cent have installed one too close to a window or vent. To ensure families stay safe this winter, Direct Energy offers this five-step checklist: More the merrier: Each floor in your home needs to have a CO alarm. Location, location, location: Check that your CO alarm is in close proximity to sleep- ing areas of the home. Testing, testing: Push the test button on the unit to ensure it is working. If you do not hear a constant sound your batteries could be dead or your unit is too old. Annual check-up: Your furnace needs an annual check-up too. Technicians are trained to detect CO levels and to ensure the safe operation of fuel-burning appliances. Practice makes perfect: Always be prepared with an escape plan and designate a meeting spot outside of your home. Source: Direct Energy Home Services Angelica Diaz Brito: Disgusting. That gives more of a bad reputation to a beautiful city like Oshawa. Deb Linton: There are NO excuses for this behaviour. Trespassing and theft are unforgivable especially from a non-profit GIVING BACK enter- prise. Michelle Marie: I think Ed is a won- derful and extremely generous, thoughtful person. Not too long ago The Eating Well Ministries almost had to close its doors and therefore wouldn’t be able to help anyone. By asking for a donation from its users he is able to stay open.

They don’t drive or have money for a taxi and it’s hard to carry enough groceries for your family on a bus. Can’t really have a food bank in a wealthy area ......... People will feel out of place and not able to access. Michael Jacula: It’s low to steal from a group that gives back (in whatever argument you want to make). Either the group needs to bank daily, or, change their processes. Someone knew where the money was. Also, an on-site heavy duty safe should be acquired if banking daily is not pos- sible; maybe approach Sentry or another safe manufacturer to make a donation. 1. It’s A Wonderful Life 2.

The Ajax-Pickering hospital put Ebola safety measures into place well before directions from the Province in mid- October. Ever since the early stages of Ebola, Rouge Valley has monitored the situa- tion and even had its first written report prepared in April. In July, the hospital started training staff, and began order- ing personal protective equipment. “Initially, people were very nervous, I’ll be honest with you,” said Ms. James. To ensure everyone is educated and prepared, Rouge Valley has put forward a number of measures to make staff feel comfortable in case someone with Ebola was to come into the hospital. This includes: protective equipment, such as gowns, gloves, masks, eye protection, hair and shoe covers; regular updates; a public website; mock drills; enhanced cleaning protocols; and town hall meet- ings for staff, which have been standing- room only. An incident command cen- tre has been set up with staff members meeting regularly to discuss the topic. “We’re getting the sense that there’s a much higher comfort level now than over the past few months,” said Ms. James. Rouge Valley Centenary in Scarbor- ough got some hands-on practice when there was a suspect case in early Sep- tember, which was “negative, fortunate- ly,” said Ms. James. “We did get some experience and we did a thorough debrief with our staff and everyone had good suggestions on how we should do things differently,” she added. The Ajax-Pickering hospital hasn’t seen any suspected cases. Signage near the emergency depart- ment entrances instructs patients on what to do as they enter the hospital, and how they can self-screen. Those who have been out of the coun- try and have fever are instructed to make themselves known to the triage desk, with their mask on. Triage nurses are behind Plexiglas, which has always been the case. However, the microphone sys- tem has been improved to help nurses better communicate with patients from behind the glass. There is also a set of questions that staff are instructed to ask people who have traveled out of the country, and even staff answering phones at the hos- pital have been given directions on how to ensure possible cases are addressed. Nurses have been trained in a number of areas surrounding the possibility of an Ebola case, which includes instructions and practice on how to properly put on and take off protective equipment, draw- ing blood, and monitoring one another to make sure all safety precautions have been taken. “There’s all these little things we have to look at,” said Ms. James. An isolation room has been set aside in the emergency department, equipped with items including biohazard garbage bags, its own washrooms, and an ante- room where possible patients can take off and put on gowns. Staff is making sure that all of the pro- tocols remain up to date. “I think it’s important that the public not only are safe but they feel safe,” said Ms. James. Ebola risks The people most at risk of getting Ebola are those residing in countries where the virus is present, and especially where there is an outbreak. For someone to have Ebola in Canada, he or she would have: • Recently traveled to Canada from an Ebola-affected location; or • Been in close contact with a person who recently traveled to Canada from an Ebola- affected location. What to do if you feel like you may be at risk of having contracted Ebola: • Closely monitor your health during and after travel; in particular, monitor your tem- perature at least twice a day. • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water; • Wear a mask and limit contact with other people; • Go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately if you develop symptoms, including high fever, body aches, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea, or hemorrhag- ing - be sure to tell the health care provider that you have traveled to a region where Ebola is present.

Senior girls’ basketball team favourites for title Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Pickering High School senior girls’ basketball team has had a remarkable run this season, winning 29 of 30 games. Despite all the success, they’d like noth- ing better than to finish the season with a five-game winning streak. That’s how many it will take to become OFSAA cham- pions when the provincial tournament opens Thursday in Guelph. The expectations are also high, with Pickering earning the No. 1 seed in the 16-team field. “We’re excited,” said head coach Mike Gordensky, who has guided the team to a near-perfect season to this point. “I started adding up all our tournaments and wins and yeah, we’ve had a pretty good year so far. We can’t complain.” Pickering won its second straight LOSSA title, beating Dunbarton 50-31 in the championship game held at Durham Col- lege. While the 19-point margin of victory would suggest dominance by Pickering, Gordensky wasn’t looking at it that way. “We just didn’t play well,” he said, par- ticularly pointing to his team’s offensive struggles at times. “We came out on fire. We were up 16-4 and then we just could not put the ball in the hoop. “It was 25-21 at the half and suddenly it was a game, when it shouldn’t have been. We ended up winning by 19, but it wasn’t a good display of basketball, let’s just say that. “Dunbarton played well. They threw a trapping zone at us that we didn’t han- dle very well even though we knew it was coming and practised against it. I wasn’t unhappy with how we played, but as a coach I know we can play so much better than what we played.” Including a perfect season in LOSSA play, Pickering collected three tournament titles. They opened their run by winning the University of Windsor tournament, beating Holy Name of Windsor 35-33 in the final. They followed that up by winning the Notre Dame Classic, beating the host 52-34, finishing with a 56-53 win over Bill Crothers in the final of the Centennial Lady Colts Classic. That win avenged Pickering’s only loss of the season, coming at the hands of Bill Crothers in the championship game of the St. Mary Tip Off Classic in Hamilton, with a final of 39-34. Because Bill Crothers is a school of excellence, they are ineligible for OFSAA play, and will not be competing in Guelph. Pickering has 10 players listed on the roster, so this trip to OFSAA might be the last for many of them. For Gordensky, who has coached both the girls’ and boys’ pro- grams, this will be his tenth trip to the pro- vincial championships. Pickering will open the tournament on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. when they face No. 11 Innisdale. The bronze and gold medal games will be played Saturday at the Uni- versity of Guelph at noon and 2 p.m. respectively. Gordensky expects three to four players off the roster to move on to NCAA schools in the fall. Among those are Nikita Teles- ford, who has a verbal agreement with Oakland University in Michigan. Others are still considering their options, he said. The team has also been successful off the court this season. At its Ballin’ for Breast Cancer fundraiser that featured five games throughout the day, the event raised $2,100. 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 9 , 2 0 1 4 11 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Complete six player swap with Whitby, add goalie as well Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A combination of wanting to shake things up and granting player requests prompted Paul Coffey to make his first sig- nificant moves as GM/head coach of the Pickering Panthers. The Panthers changed the complexion of their team by swinging a six-player deal with the Whitby Fury, as well as picking up goalie Austin Washkurak from the Cobourg Cou- gars. In the deal with Whitby, it was a three-for- three exchange as the Panthers sent forwards Kevin Dimagno and Nicholas Lepone along with defenceman Kyler Challis away. In return the Panthers received forwards Mitch Emerson and Mitchell Burghardt, as well as defenceman Patrick McAuliffe. “I wanted to get a local flavour in there,” said Coffey of picking up Emerson, a Pickering resident. “I hated having to give Challis up, but Emerson is a great player. McAuliffe is everything I thought he would be. He’s a real asset to our team. A real puck moving, smart defenceman who gets pucks through. It’s something we needed.” Emerson was among the leading scorers on the Fury this season, with 11-18-29 point totals in 25 games, while McAuliffe regis- tered 5-7-12 numbers in the same amount of games. Both players were in the lineup for the final two periods of last Thursday’s loss to Newmarket. The third player acquired, Burghardt, hasn’t reported to the Panthers, and Coffey is unsure of his intentions. “I’d love for him to come and give us a try and see that the game can be fun again,” Cof- fey said. “I want him to give the Panthers a chance.” Burghardt had three goals and three assists for the Fury in 21 games this season. Washkurak is a 19-year-old netminder who has played 93 games in the league with both Cobourg and Mississauga. He was among those who took part in the Central Canada Cup all-star challenge tournament this past weekend, along with Emerson. He made his debut with the Panthers last week against Newmarket, coming into the game in relief midway through the second period and didn’t allow a goal. “I like to keep jobs open for everybody, but you have to earn your spot,” said Coffey of adding a goaltender. “He came in in relief last game and played real well and didn’t get scored on for a period and a half. “I’m happy with our goalies but I just think we could all battle a little harder.” Last Friday’s home game against Buffalo was postponed due to the depleted rosters as a result of the Central Canada Cup. It will be an interesting game this Friday when Whitby comes in for a 7:30 p.m. start. “Since I’ve been involved, I think in all the periods, we probably didn’t compete in a period and a half of the Trenton game (a 12-1 loss). Other than that the boys are working hard. Any kind of breaks or bounces in those games, we deserve better,” said Coffey, whose team has one win in seven outings since he took over. “As I said before, I don’t measure things on wins or losses, I measure it on the players getting better. I see a lot of them getting bet- ter and I see some light at the end of the tun- nel. “We’ve got a great group of kids. They’ve stuck together. I’m happy. You walk into the rink, from our training staff down, it’s a happy place to be. The other stuff will come.” The Panthers (9-10-1-3) will have a second game this weekend in Aurora on Sunday.
