The fifth annual Pickering Village JAM (Festival of Jazz, Art, Music) is literal- ly taking over the streets of the village this weekend, June 26, 27, 28. Accord- ing to organizer Shireen Whitmore, it’s an opportunity for Durham Region resi- dents to experience a full-fledged street festival without having to travel to the city. “People just love it. JAMfest brings fun and colour into a normally sleepy corner of Ajax and you don’t have to drive all the way into Toronto to experience a great festival,” said Ms. Whitmore. In previous years musical acts have played on main stages; this year all stag- es are scattered around several locations throughout the village, reports Ms. Whit- more. “Performers will be at street-level at eight different locations along Old Kingston Road from the gazebo near Casa Verde over to the Courtyard in front of Maraschino’s and bands will also play in the Courtyard,” she explained, adding that YouthJAM is also back this year, fea- turing family-oriented performances by local youth. And, there’s a bit of old and a bit of new at the 2015 version of JAMfest, said Ms. Whitmore. Street buskers are a new element to the JAMfest weekend, and they’ll be performing in the village. Silver Elvis is also making an appearance at JAMfest this year. There are also jugglers and a strongman, as well as a midway and inflatable fun rides for children. Fan favourites from previous years are returning to the JAMfest, including the bands Pauly and the Good Fellas, Rust- proof, Old Man Flanagan’s Ghost, and George Olliver and Gangbuster, a long- time soulful addition to the festival. And, there’s food, wonderful food from a variety of sources at JAMfest, said Ms. Whitmore. This year’s bill of fare includes food trucks featuring special gourmet goodies, a poutine food truck, one selling churros and other selling corn on the cob. Patsy’s Eatery and her authentic jerk chicken is also a staple of the JAMfest. Log on to pickeringvillagejamfest. ca for more information, including the schedule of this year’s JAMfest. AJAX -- Shades of Night performed at the 2014 Pickering Village JAM Festival Fest.

The victim knows neither the identity of the suspect nor the origin of his hostility, said Durham police Sergeant Bill Calder. The incidents began in May, when on three occasions the victim found his car tires flattened while at work, and are now occurring at his home, he said. The incidents are “definitely” unset- tling for the victim, who managed to get a photo of the suspect on June 19, when he found the man placing garbage cans near his front door, said Sgt. Calder. It’s unknown why the man began his campaign of intimidation or why he’s ramped it up by targeting the victim at home. “We have no information as to why it’s even at this stage,” said Sgt. Calder. “Nothing leads to why they’re being harassed.” Trouble started in May when the vic- tim found the tires of his vehicle flattened after he parked it at work. The tires were flattened twice more over the ensuing two weeks, police said. Then the victim was targeted at his home in Ajax. He’s had licence plates sto- len from his car and replaced with plates stolen from other vehicles, and Vaseline has been smeared on car and home door handles. On one occasion the victim found his front door, which had been locked the previous night, wide open in the morn- ing, police said. The victim confronted a suspect out- side his home on June 19 and managed to snap a picture of the man. “No words were exchanged,” Sgt. Calder said. “The (suspect) fled the scene.” The suspect, a white man, is believed to be 30 to 40. He’s about 5 feet 10 with a heavy build. His brown hair is balding. He drove a newer, dark silver Hyundai Elantra. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2528 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. AJAX -- Durham Regional Police are trying to identify a suspect in a criminal harass- ment investigation.

Gas thief struck at stations in Durham, police say DURHAM -- Police are trying to iden- tify a man suspected of stealing more than $800 worth of gas from stations in Durham Region and Toronto over the past year. Durham police have released surveillance camera images of the suspect. Cops say that on seven occasions between April of 2014 and April of 2015 he failed to pay for gas pumped at stations in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Toronto. The vehicle involved is a silver Ford Windstar van with a stolen licence plate, police said. The suspect, a white man, is believed to be in his early to mid 20s. He’s about 5 feet 10 with a medi- um build. Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 1836 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

It’s not. Clarington’s new energy-from-waste facility will be delayed a second time because the boilers aren’t operating prop- erly and the ongoing startup period could cost Durham Region an extra $1 million. What’s a million dollars when you’re talk- ing a final price tag of $286.56 million? It may seem like a drop in the bucket but a million dollars is a million dollars. Another concern the Region doesn’t seem too upset about is the late fee it’s been charging Covanta, the company that built and operates the facility. Every day the plant is not fully operational Covanta is levied a $10,000 late fee. This has been ongoing since Jan. 16 and to date Covan- ta hasn’t paid a dime to the Region. Yet nobody thinks this is a problem? The late fees alone would have covered the addi- tional costs the Region is now facing due to the faulty boilers. Durham’s works commissioner, Cliff Curtis, said it’s Covanta’s problem to “deliver us the product that performs the way they said, so they’re going to take the time they need.” Fair enough. It’s to everyone’s benefit the facility runs properly. But it’s not only Covanta’s problem. As long as the facil- ity is not producing power to the grid the Region is not making any money from that power. That’s a loss each and every day the project is delayed. According to the Region, the facil- ity should generate between 17.5 gross megawatts of renewable energy -- enough to power between 10,000 and 12,000 homes. Clarington Councillor Joe Neal, who is never shy about speaking out on issues, was one of a few councillors raising con- cerns. “What’s the final cost going to look like?” he asked, adding he still has concerns about the emissions meeting the Ministry of Environment rules. “There are clearly issues with getting it started out.” But it gets better. There is still disagree- ment with former property owners on the value of the land expropriated for the facility, and a ruling is not expected until fall of next year. The final cost for the util- ity construction and connection costs is expected in coming months. The base- line ambient air monitoring runs until the EFW facility is operational, so the delay in opening means an ongoing monitoring cost. Mr. Curtis says the project is still on bud- get and the plant construction may come in slightly under budget. But add up these other costs however, and maybe that bud- get is under pressure. That should be a concern for us all. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Durham York Energy Centre delays a concern Read books, earn prizes at Durham’s libraries this summer Summer’s finally here and that means more time for reading for many, whether it’s on a dock at the lake, in a hammock in the backyard or on the beach. What’s even better, though, is some local libraries are offering up prizes for reading. How great is that? Durham libraries have taken part in the TD Sum- mer Reading Club for children for years and are doing so again. Kids up to ages 12 register, read books, log the time they spend reading, take part in special events and enter to win prizes. You can find the details at your library’s website. Some libraries are going further this summer with similar programs for teens and adults. Oshawa Public Libraries runs a teen summer reading club. Teens can read or listen to whatev- er they want -- books, magazines, eBooks, audio- books, graphic novels or anime -- and write a short review, which can be submitted at a library branch or on the library’s website. Each review means a ballot for a monthly draw and a draw for the grand prize, a Kobo Arc. No registration is required, just a love of reading. OPL also has an adult summer reading club. As with the teens, adults can read or listen to whatever they want, write a short review and submit it in per- son or on the website. Each review earns readers an entry for a monthly draw and the big prize, another Kobo Arc. Again, there’s no registration. Books read to kids count, too. Visit www.oshawalibrary.on.ca for details. Ajax Public Library is offering the Summer Breeze eReader contest with a Best Buy gift card up for grabs. Download eBooks, read them and send in reviews during July and August to be eligible. Visit www.ajaxlibrary.ca for details. Pickering Public Library also has a summer read- ing club for teens who can read books, write reviews and get ballots to win prizes at an auction in Sep- tember. There are also weekly draws for books. Visit www.picnet.org/teens to check it out. Happy reading. Copy editor Christy Chase has a feeling her daugh- ter’s wedding will cut into her reading time this sum- mer but she doesn’t mind one bit. Christy Chase Copy Editor Booked DDSB superintendent needs to check her facts To the editor: I was shocked that Durham District School Board superintendent Luigia Ayotte comment- ed how teachers are given a full PA day to input grades therefore creating 28 full days of work for a principal if they have to input grades for 28 teachers. Teachers use those PA Days for much more than just inputting the final grades into a sys- tem. That PA Day is referred to as an Assess- ment and Reporting Day. Assessment is the marking leading up to finalizing those marks, not just entering them into the system. On top of marking and finalizing marks, teachers have to then comment and create next steps to go along with those marks. I would say it takes about 30 hours to finish a set of complet- ed report cards. Entering a class set of marks (which principals are being asked to do for this final report card) would take about 30 minutes, not a full day as she is stating. Ms. Ayotte is extremely out of touch with the classroom. Maybe it’s time she head back into one to get her facts straight.

Since 1895,the main procedure used in my profession hasn’t changed all that much.Why change something that works so well? Of course,people are always welcome to use more modern,more invasive technologies to ‘help’with their health concerns.That’s certainly their prerogative.On first glance people are often impressed with “cutting edge”or highly sophisticated therapies and drugs. But,lack of health very often has simple causes,and very reasonable corrections.Our genetics haven’t changed much at all in the last 50,000 years,yet we do things and behave in ways that we were never designed to do.For example,humans were never designed to sit all day at desk jobs,work on factory assembly lines, or eat mountains of sugars,refined carbohydrates,or artificial foods laden with preservatives. So,the sudden jump in chronic diseases doesn’t surprise me one bit.Sometimes looking backward is just as important as looking forward.Human genes can’t be asked to adapt to sedentary lifestyles,poor nutrition,constant negative and stressful thoughts,and unnatural chronic ‘mechanical’stresses.In general,we were never designed to live the lifestyle we do today. So,what can we do?We can continue to blame our problems on age,genetics,old injuries or whatever other excuse we can hide behind or we can TAKE CHARGE and become motivated to be healthier. Before I go on and tell you more,let me tell you what happened to a patient,Sonia D. For years Sonia suffered with chronic pain and limited mobility due to a serious car accident.She was in bad shape.She had trouble sitting,walking,bending and even sleeping (which affected her life immensely). She would take strong pain medications just to ease the pain,just so she could function.After suffering for years,she started chiropractic care,and her mobility improved,less stress and no longer suffers from the pinched sciatica pain shooting down her leg. Sonia’s story isn’t unusual.In fact here’s what medical researchers had to say about chiropractic: “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following:traction,massage, acupuncture,injection of steroids into the spine, back corsets and ultrasound.”-Stanley Bigos,MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery.“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments],with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”–British Medical Journal. Like Sonia,something happened to me years ago that changed my life forever.Let me tell you my story. At the time,I’m a contractor for my fathers’ construction business,and life is good.But then,it happens…I develop a painful back condition known as “disc bulge/herniation”.In my case it comes on suddenly.The pain in my back gets so intense that I can’t bend over,lifting anything is impossible,and I can’t even put on my shoes.The shooting pain sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night.I’m afraid that I’ll hurt my fathers’business if the disability continues.After considering surgery (that’s the only option,according to the doctor)I decide against it.But, there’s more… A friend of mine convinces me to give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam,takes some films,and then ‘adjusts’my spine (he tells me that there’s nerve pressure on the nerves in my low back).The adjustment doesn’t hurt,it actually feels good.I get relief,and shortly after I can help my father again.Oh,did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor?Chiropractic works so well for me,and I’m so impressed with the other ‘miracles’I see in his office,that I eventually go to chiropractic school myself.And that’s how it happened!” People from Ajax/Pickering and the surrounding area have come to see me with their back problems.They also come to me with their: •Headaches •Migraines •Chronic Pain •Neck Pain •Shoulder/Arm Pain •Whiplash from car accidents •Backaches •Numbness in limbs •Athletic injuries Just to name a few These neighbors of yours tell their stories: “I haven’t had to take pain pills since starting care.” -Alison C.-Ajax “My Son has not had a headache since we started treatment!”-Deanna C.-Ajax “I wish I knew about…Chiropractic earlier.”-Able E. -Pickering Don’t just take my word for it…Check our Google Reviews!! Here’s the most important thing I have to say.Your body is made to heal itself,and it does that best when it’s free of nerve interference.So,as much as I’d like the credit,I can’t take it.I’ve never healed anyone of anything.I analyze the nerve system and the spine and perform specific spinal adjustments to remove nerve pressure.The body responds,and often it heals itself once that nerve interference is removed.Of course,all people respond differently to care,but we get terrific results.It’s as simple as that! Millions of Canadians no longer have supplemental health insurance,and many of those who do have found that their benefits are reduced.That’s where chiropractic comes in.A seven-year study compared costs of people seeing medical providers vs. alternative providers (like chiropractors).Overall the patients seeing alternative providers had 60%less hospitalizations,59%less days in the hospital,62% less outpatient surgeries,and 85%less costs for prescription drugs. Special Offer -Look,I know you’re smart.You want to get to the cause of your problem,and not just cover it up with drugs.So,when you call to schedule a new patient exam by Friday July 10th,2015 you’ll receive that entire exam for just $37.That’s with x-rays,a complete nerve,muscle and spinal exam to seek the “cause”of your problem...the whole ball of wax,and there’s no hidden fees.But,call right away because on Friday July 10th,2015 at exactly 6 p.m.this offer will expire.We expect to be flooded with calls as this exam normally costs $115.So don’t miss out Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you.You’ll get great care at a great fee.My qualifications…I’m a graduate of New York Chiropractic College.I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may even know.I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Nancy and she is a really great person. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee.Our office is called Health First Family Chiropractic and it’s at 335 Bayly St.West – Suite 206 Ajax (we are across from the old Chrysler plant).Our phone number is 289-275-2444.Call Nancy or me today for an appointment.We can help you. Thank you and God Bless. Dr.Clay A.Kosinko,D.C. P.S.When accompanied by the first,I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $17. P.P.P.S.Since 1895,chiropractic has helped people when other methods have often failed.We never promise to cure,but we do promise to do our best. Advertising Feature From AJX to RCY, new Durham Pan Am street signs full of code Rob Ferguson newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- If you’re a baseball-lovin’ Pan Am Games VIP landing at YYZ, cruise that rental east on the 401 HOV to AJX and you’ll be OK. Sailors, the UPX makes the trip from PIA to RCY. Quicker than you can say PRESTO. And, natch, CEB is the place for BMX. Got all that? Sports fans from near and far will need to learn a new lingo for the Pan Am Games starting July 10, with airport-style code let- ters for each of the 34 venues as 250,000 visitors and 10,000 athletes and officials from North, Central and South America descend on Toronto and southern Ontario. More than 5,000 signs will feature the codes, helping direct ticket holders to places of competition like CEB -- short for the Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre -- and RCY, which is Sugar Beach on the waterfront and named for the Royal Cana- dian Yacht Club. Not far from Union Sta- tion, where the Union-Pearson Express stops. “The signage we’re unveiling today (Tues- day) plays a critical role for the Games,” said Pan Am CEO Saad Rafi, who was stumped when asked to decode some of the shorthand. Some of the venue names, after all, are long -- such as the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House. Or PAC for short. Others are easier, like the President’s Choice Ajax Ballpark (AJX). Games officials insist ticket holders will catch on because the acronyms are on their tickets and the signs, along with pic- tograms of the sports they’ll be watching. “The prevailing opinion is that’s the best way to make sure that we have people get- ting to the venues on time,” said Transpor- tation Minister Steven Del Duca. Also of note -- the acronyms are the same in English, French and Spanish. “All of these were focus tested, not only the three-letter code but the three-letter code in combination with the pictogram and also people were asked about how to distinguish the signs,” Mr. Rafi said. “Since these signs are just now going up, I think we should give everybody a chance to get used to where they want to go.” With 17 days until the Games begin, and new restrictions on high-occupancy vehi- cle or HOV lanes starting Monday to whip drivers into Pan Am mode, signs are going up in 16 southern Ontario municipalities, not only for motorists but for public transit and pedestrians as well. On HOV lanes, vehicles will have to con- tain three people between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. to avoid $110 fines and three demerit points. OPP Sergeant Peter Leon said there will be a “significant increase” in officers on the roads to ensure traffic flows as smooth- ly as possible. “The roads are going to be congested at times,” he warned. “We will do what we need to do.” Mr. Del Duca said motorists -- whether they are going to a Games event, work or on a pleasure trip -- should use the online Pan Am traffic app to plan their journeys. “When you’ve got a Jays game or a Leaf or Raptors game, we all know in this region when the games are taking place ... to avoid or make alternative plans or adjust- ments to our commutes. This is that on a larger scale.” Crews are still replacing HOV diamond decals peeling off in the wet weather and will replace them with paint if necessary, Mr. Del Duca added. Officials are hoping for a 20 per cent reduction in traf- fic during the Games through co-operation from motorists. If that proves true, commute times should be six or seven minutes longer at worst, the minister said. “If we all do our bit ... we will have a region that keeps moving.” And if not, to paraphrase the new Drake song, everyone will be “runnin’ through the 6 with their woes.” -- Torstar news service WHITBY -- A sign along westbound Hwy. 401 directing motorists to exit at Brock Street to access the Ajax Pan Am venue.

Mr. Alexander, the Conservative MP for Ajax-Pickering and the minister of citizen- ship and immigration, will be challenged by Liberal Mark Hol- land in the new riding of Ajax. Mr. Hol- land was the MP for Ajax-Pick- ering from 2004 until Mr. Alexan- der beat him in the 2011 fed- eral election. In August 2011, Mr. Holland became the director of health promotion and public affairs with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Can- ada. He was promoted to the roles of exec- utive director for the Ontario Mission and national director of Children and Youth. It was Mr. Alexander’s first run at elected office. Prior to that, he had been Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Holland are the only declared candidates in the riding for the four major parties, as the New Demo- cratic Party and the Green Party have yet to announce their candidates. With realigned federal riding borders, the new riding includes all of Ajax. Before realignment, Ajax-Pickering included most of north Pickering. In the 2011 election, Mr. Alexander gar- nered 24,797 votes, while Mr. Holland was second with 21,569. NDP candidate Jim Koppens pulled in 8,284 votes, while Green candidate Mike Harilaid had 1,621 and United Party candidate Bob Kesic had 71 votes. While it hasn’t officially been called, the federal election is slated for Oct. 19. Only two federal candidates in Ajax Riding so far Three candidates set for federal election in new Pickering- Uxbridge Riding Federal election to be held Oct. 19 UXBRIDGE -- The race is on in the new Pickering-Uxbridge riding, with many parties naming their candidates for the upcoming federal election in October. On Oct. 19 residents will choose their newest federal representative, who will be the first for the new riding of Pickering- Uxbridge, which comprises all of the City of Pickering and Uxbridge Township. The 2015 election will be the first to use the new electoral map, with Pickering now grouped with Uxbridge rather than Scarborough. Current Pickering-Scarborough East MP Corneliu Chisu will be running for the Con- servative Party, while Pickering Councillor Jennifer O’Connell will try to win the riding for the Liberal Party and Durham teacher Pamela Downward will vie to claim the seat for the NDP. The Green Party has yet to announce a candidate in the riding. SIU probes man’s fall from balcony after arrest by Durham police DURHAM -- The Special Investigations Unit is investigating a man’s fall from a fourth- floor balcony after Durham police arrested him early Tuesday. The 39-year-old man, who hasn’t been identified, sustained serious but not life- threatening injuries after the incident June 23 in Scarborough. The fall came after the man was arrested and is being investigated as an in-custody injury, the SIU said. The nature of the investigation being con- ducted by the Durham officers hasn’t been disclosed. Durham police say they can’t comment further as the SIU, which probes incidents of serious injury or death involving police, has invoked its mandate. The SIU said two Durham officers were conducting an investi- gation at 3171 Eglinton Ave. E. in Scarborough just after midnight. Follow- ing his arrest the man fell from a balcony and was taken to hospital, the SIU said. The man remains in hospital in serious condition, the SIU said Wednesday. Two cops have been identified as subject officers and three others are witness officers, according to the SIU. Four investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to the case. 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 • Ju n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 9 AP DURHAM REGION -A new report has just been released which identifies the 6 most common and costly mistakes that homebuyers make when moving to a larger home.

Fairview Lodge residents welcomed back at new Durham facility Seniors displaced following Oct. 27 fire at former facility will be given priority during phased move-in Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The wait is finally over for residents of a long-term care home in Whitby who are being welcomed back this week, several months after a massive fire forced them out of their homes. Fairview Lodge reopened its doors at its brand new three-storey facility, owned and operated by the Region of Durham and located on the grounds of the old lodge at 632 Dundas St. W. in Whitby, on Tuesday, June 23. “It’s been a hectic day but it’s a good hectic; we can handle this hectic,” laughed administrator Marcey Wilson, standing in the brightly lit foyer of the spacious new building as staff whisked by in a flurry of activity. “It didn’t feel the same without resi- dents and staff. It’s so much more vibrant now -- it feels like home.” All 192 seniors at the long-term care home were displaced after a fire broke out on Oct. 27, destroying a wing of the former facility and leaving the remainder of the building inhabitable due to smoke damage. The new Fairview Lodge was already under construction for more than a year at the time of the blaze. Following the evacuation, residents were relocated to retirement homes, hos- pitals and other long-term care facilities across the region. They are now being moved back in phases, explained Ms. Wil- son, with priority given to those who were at the lodge when the fire occurred. “We’re going to be doing a move at three different stages and so day one and day two are (residents in congregate liv- ing) at the sites of Ontario Shores (Cen- tre for Mental Health Sciences), Lakeridge Health Whitby, Hillsdale Estates and Hill- sdale Terraces,” she said. “Then we’ll be doing our residents after the fire that were discharged from Fairview Lodge and admitted to other long-term care homes in the communi- ty ... after that, we would admit the way we normally would any time we have a vacancy, through the Central East Com- munity Care Access Centre.” Altogether, there are 198 spaces at the new facility, which includes enhanced space for specialized programming, 24-hour nursing care, and a secure out- door garden and patio area. Staff and vol- unteers are at the site to help ease the transition for residents. “I love my new home,” said Ida Grant, 88, smiling happily as she rocked back and forth on a chair in her new room, which she was pleased to see offers more privacy than her previous room. “It’s very nice; I like it just the way it is.” Ms. Grant stayed at Lakeridge Health Whitby following the fire at the former lodge. Her daughters, Norma St. Pierre of Bowmanville and Linda Paton of Brook- lin, helped her get settled in on Tuesday. “The Fairview folks were great with the residents,” said Ms. St. Pierre. “They met them at the bus, walked in with them, made them feel comfortable and then a lot of the staff that they already knew met them and that helped them through the transition.” Not only does the improved space and layout of the building allow for more pri- vacy but it also provides more opportu- nities for residents to interact with one another and engage in social activities if they choose to, said Ms. Wilson. “When we look at our residents, we try to be holistic and we want to focus on decreasing loneliness, boredom, and helplessness,” she said, adding the aver- age age of the home’s occupants is around 84. Ms. Wilson expressed her gratitude to all residents, their families, as well as staff and community supporters for their patience and assistance in the aftermath of the fire, as well as the lead-up to the opening of the new facility. “We can’t thank our partners and com- munity supporters enough; it’s just so heartwarming,” she said. The Region owns and operates four long-term care homes, all of which are accredited by Accreditation Canada. In addition to the 198 beds at Fairview Lodge, Lakeview Manor has 149 beds and is located in Beaverton, while Hillsdale Terraces (200 beds) and Hillsdale Estates (300 beds) are both situated in Oshawa. “I’ve been with the Region of Durham now for 25 years so I’ve been administra- tor of all four homes and each home is special but what I really love about Fair- view is just a real feeling of collaboration and it’s very resident-focused,” said Ms. Wilson. “It’s really nice to be a part of it.” WHITBY -- Marcy Wilson, administrator of Fairview Lodge, gave a quick tour of the new facility Tuesday afternoon. Residents were being moved in based on a phased approach, with priority given to those who were displaced by the fire on Oct. 27.

According to Ontario Power Generation, the answer is absolutely not. According to the environmental monitoring program (EMP) OPG does every year that checks radiation emissions from the plants, the public dosage is a fraction of the legal limit. The limit is 1,000 microsieverts and OPG reports at Darlington, the reading was 0.6 microsieverts, which is 0.1 per cent of the limit. At Pickering the reading is 1.2 micro- sieverts, which is also 0.1 per cent of the limit. Raphael McCalla, the director of environ- mental operations support for OPG, said the Pickering reading is higher because the plant is older and larger than Darlington. “Because it’s an older plant and there are more units in operation, emissions emitted will be larger. It’s by the simple fact there are more reactors running,” Mr. McCalla said. “With six units, we expect to see more emissions,” he said. “It’s considerably below the limit. It’s less than one per cent, when compared against the natural back- ground readings.” The EMP report noted, “The results indi- cate that (the Pickering) operation does not present any radiological or physical stressor risks to human or non-human biota.” It said that was also the case with the Darlington station. The report stated, “The 2014 program results ... include concentrations of radio- nuclides in the air, water, milk, soil, sedi- ments, vegetation, animal feed, eggs, poul- try, and fish samples taken in the vicinity of (Darlington) and (Pickering), and the associated public radiation dose assess- ments. Samples from provincial-back- ground locations were used to determine background radiation levels in areas away from the influence of the nuclear stations.” The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion, the federal agency that regulates the nuclear industry, requires OPG to have an environmental monitoring program. The CNSC also conducts its own monitoring program. Mr. McCalla noted the EMP is “part of the licence for Pickering and Darlington. We’re required to have an environmen- tal monitoring program. We’re required to report to the regulator the findings of this report.” The latest EMP was submitted to the CNSC in April. “It’s what we see in the environment,” he added. He noted the CNSC compares the results of its program with that of OPG. He agreed with the description of the dosage as “almost negligible.” In Durham Region, the natural back- ground reading is about 1.4 millisieverts. Dosages are compared to those received from the plant to other activities, such as taking a plane trip across Canada or hav- ing an X-ray. “Things we all do in our day-to-day life. We also factor in background radiation. It’s different in different areas,” said Mr. McCalla. In the past, when doing the monitor- ing, OPG assumed a person would be liv- ing 24/7 at the fence of a nuclear station. Now, it uses a site-specific survey, which involves going door-to-door and speak- ing with residents. They gather lifestyle characteristics, such as where the person works, where they eat and if the food is locally produced. OPG also selects a “critical group” and then defines the dosage for the group. For both Darlington and Pickering, the critical group was made up of adults. “The highest dose is what gets captured,” says Mr. McCalla. Dosages are compared to previous years to see if there’s any change. In Pickering, the 2013 reading was 1.1 microsieverts, slightly lower than the current 1.2, while Darlington remained the same at 0.6. “The intent of the program is to deter- mine if our operations are having any kind of impact,” Mr. Mccalla said. “Our licence ensures the dose to the public is below 1,000. We physically go and demonstrate we have met that obligation. It’s a negligible impact, but we still have to go and measure. It’s what we’re seeing around our facilities.” Fast facts What does the environmental monitoring program do? The EMPs are designed to satisfy the fol- lowing four primary objectives: 1. Assess the impact on human health and the environment of contaminants and physical stressors of concern resulting from operation of OPG nuclear facilities; 2. Demonstrate compliance with limits on the concentration and/or intensity of con- taminants and physical stressors in the environment or assess their effect on the environment. 3. Demonstrate the effectiveness of con- tainment and effluent control, and pro- vide public assurance of the effectiveness of containment and effluent control, inde- pendent of effluent monitoring. 4. Verify the predictions made by the Envi- ronmental Risk Assessments (ERAs), refine the models used, and reduce the uncer- tainty in the predictions made by these assessments and models. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU Ontario Power Generation annually reports the radiation dosage the public is exposed to from the operation of the Pickering and Darlington nuclear sta- tions. • For both plants, the public dosage is so low as to be negligible. • The public dose limit is 1,000 micro- sieverts. The dosage from both facili- ties is a fraction of one per cent of the limit. PICKERING -- According to the findings of Ontario Power Generation’s environmental monitoring program (EMP), the public dos- age of radiation from its nuclear plants, including the Pickering nuclear station (above), is a fraction of the legal limit.

Victoria Rinsma, 17, won the Skills Ontario Competition for cooking on May 6, which gave her the opportunity to rep- resent Ontario at the recent Skills Cana- da National Competition (SCNC) in Sas- katoon. After impressing judges with an appetizer, main course and dessert, Vic- toria won the silver medal in the cooking competition for secondary school students at the SCNC. A student from Quebec took home the gold. The competition also held skills con- tests in many other areas of the trades and technology for students and apprentices in Canada. Victoria credits a great culinary program at her high school, Pine Ridge Secondary School, as part of her success. “They have a really good cooking pro- gram,” she said. “The teachers are actual- ly from Austria and Switzerland. We don’t make your typical cookies and cake and fries and stuff.” She was up against 12 high school stu- dents, one from each province and terri- tory. Her dishes included a spinach and ricot- ta ravioli as an appetizer, meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed aspara- gus and glazed red cabbage, and a swan- shaped pastry for dessert. She was confident she’d place well at the national level and said when she looked at the other dishes, she knew she’d do well. “I knew I was going to make top three,” she said. Victoria always spent time in the kitchen growing up. “Originally I wanted to be in baking,” she said. But when she started participating in cooking competitions, she discovered a new passion. Prior to the Ontario and Canada skills competitions this year, Victoria had won the gold at a municipal level in a compe- tition at the Centre for Food at Durham College and at a qualifying competition in Hamilton. She already won those same two municipal and qualifying competi- tions when she began entering culinary competitions at 16. That’s five golds at five competitions so far. Leading up to the competition, Victoria got help from the faculty at Bistro ’67 at Durham College’s Centre for Food, a stu- dent learning restaurant. In September she will attend Durham College to study culi- nary management. “I hope to open up my own place one day,” she said. Ideally, she’d like to open up a cafe or bistro so she can incorporate baking into the mix. - With files from Derek Dolstra Tracy MacCharles, MPP Pickering-Scarborough East 300 Kingston Road, Unit 7, Pickering, ON L1V 6Z9 Phone:905-509-0336 Fax:905-509-0334 Email: tmaccharles.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org Corneliu Chisu, MP Pickering-Scarborough East 300 Kingston Road, Unit 4, Pickering, ON L1V 6Z9 Phone:416-287-0110 Fax:416-287-6160 Email: corneliu.chisu@parl.gc.ca Now in stock..

In some areas 60 millimetres of rain fell overnight June 22, causing dangerous con- ditions and localized flooding. As a result, watercourses are flowing higher than nor- mal. CLOCA staff are currently monitoring flow conditions throughout the watershed and have advised of some localized flooding of low laying areas. Water levels are currently receding and the five-day weather forecast is not predicting any additional precipitation, therefore water levels are expected to continue to decline. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority is asking all residents and children to stay away from all watercourses and struc- tures such as bridges, culverts and dams. Elevated water levels, fast flowing water and slippery conditions along stream banks con- tinue to make these locations extremely dangerous. Children should be warned to stay away from all watercourses and ponds. 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 • Ju n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 16 AP ALL BEDROOM COLLECTIONS (IncredIble savIngs wIth Package PrIcIng) ALL DINING COLLECTIONS (IncredIble savIngs wIth Package PrIcIng) BOWMANVILLEHWY 401 HWY 2 (KING ST.)

To learn more, visit www.madd.ca. About MADD Canada Through Campaign 911, MADD Canada and Allstate Insurance Company of Canada encourage Canadians to keep roads, waterways and trails crash-free this holiday long weekend and all summer long. “The summer months are a time when millions of Canadians travel to and from cottages and campgrounds, enjoy time on the water, spend warm evenings on the patios of neighbourhood bars and entertain family and friends at backyard barbecues,” said MADD Canada National President Angeliki Souranis. “Unfortunately, long weekends and summer months are also a time when the risk of impaired driving increases. We can all play a role in reducing that risk.” Help prevent impaired driving: • Call 911 if you see a driver you suspect is impaired. • Don’t get into a vehicle operated by someone who is impaired • Don’t drive a car, boat, ATV or any other vehicle while impaired Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 Canada Day in Ajax & Pickering Email:gdautocare@bellnet.ca Address:340 Kingston Road,Pickering,ON L1V 1A2 Phone:905-509-3535 Guy Craigen License Service Technician Home •Auto •Commercial Life •Recreational www.bmlinsurance.ca Since 1960 (905)683-3301 467 Westney Rd S Ajax Tel:905-576-7473 Email:info@madd-durham.com Web:www.madd-durham.com STOP IMPAIRED DRIVERS.CALL 911.

And you can see what catches the Pickering artist’s eye when she’s out of the city in a show opening this weekend. Her Cottage Country exhibition, featur- ing landscapes and nature watercolours, is at Ajax’s McLean Community Centre from June 29 to July 29. Mark your calendars as there’s a reception on July 19 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. The community centre is at 95 Magill Dr. (NC) Women expect their bodies to change shape and grow when they are pregnant, but many expectant mothers are surprised to discover their feet change too. They are often more amazed to learn that such changes to their feet can be permanent. “It is not uncommon for women to no longer fit into their shoes long after they have shed their pregnancy weight,” says Anne Putnam a Canadian certified pedorthist and president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada. “We recommend that all women have their feet measured by a professional after pregnancy as their feet may have lengthened or widened and it may be necessary for them to replace their footwear.” Fluid retention during pregnancy often leads to swollen feet, however, this swelling disappears after birth. Experts say permanent changes to the size and shape of women’s feet comes from relaxin, a hormone produced during pregnancy. Relaxin helps prepare a woman to deliver by causing the ligaments throughout her pelvis to loosen and stretch. But relaxin also stretches the ligaments in the feet which can cause the arch of the foot to fall and spread. The effect on the feet is very gradual, so women often don’t immediately notice the change. Putnam advises that if your shoes don’t feel comfortable after you have delivered, don’t continue to wear them or put them aside expecting to fit into them one day. Forcing your feet into shoes that are too narrow or too wide can cause corns, ingrown nails and bunions. Make sure to have your feet professionally measured. You may discover you need to wear a completely different shoe size or style of shoe. More information on shoe fitting can be found at www.pedorthic.ca. www.newscanada.com Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering Now, new to Pickering and Ajax, Pickering Sports Medicine & Wellness Centre is able to offer OHIP physiotherapy for those patients who are 65 years of age and older, 19 years of age and younger, and those who have had a hospital stay overnight.

BusinessCheques LowerthantheBanks Cubs keen on Pickering’s Michael Foster Selected in 16th round of MLB draft, while Ajax’s Phil Diedrick goes in 29th to Nationals Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A couple of former teammates will be embarking on their pro baseball careers together, but with different organiza- tions. Michael Foster, of Pickering, and Phil Diedrick, of Ajax, were among those draft- ed by Major League Baseball clubs, Foster selected in the 16th round by the Chicago Cubs, and Diedrick picked in the 29th round by the Washington Nationals. Both were teammates at one time with the Ontario Blue Jays before taking different paths following high school. Foster committed to Northeastern Uni- versity in Boston, where he did a little bit of everything for the Huskies baseball pro- gram. Despite breaking his foot and missing out on a full freshman season, it didn’t stunt Foster’s development. Following his third year at the school he was drafted last year by the Houston Astros in the 38th round, but opted to return to school to work towards his degree in chemical engineering. “We just figured I would go back to school, finish up two more semesters, take my shot in the draft this year and finish up school,” said the 21 year old. Ironically, last year, Foster’s teammate at Northeastern, Jason Vosler, was drafted in the same round, 16th, by the Cubs. Vosler was able to give Foster some insight into what it’s like to play professional baseball. “He’s told me a lot of great things and about how much fun he’s having in the system,” said Foster, a graduate of St. Mary Catholic High School. “It gets you excited to play.” Foster played just about everywhere for Northeastern, second base, shortstop, was used as a closer out of the bullpen, but fin- ished this season in centre field, the posi- tion the Cubs drafted him for. He had an impressive season at the plate, carrying a .400 average for much of the season. He led his club in seven statistical catego- ries this season including batting average (.343), hits (70), runs (40), triples (4) and stolen bases (10). His 212 hits over his career at Northeastern places him sixth all-time at the school. Foster was to report to the spring training facility of the Cubs in Arizona to sign a con- tract, complete a physical and wait for word on where to report for the remainder of the season. Diedrick’s route to the major league draft wasn’t as direct. After graduating from Pickering High School, Diedrick headed to a communi- ty college in Louisiana. After things didn’t work out there, he landed the following year at Connors State College in Oklahoma. He thrived there, helping lead the Cowboys to the junior college World Series before clos- ing out his collegiate career at Western Ken- tucky the past two years. Getting drafted a second time, first by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 45th round of the 2014 draft, is something special said the 22 year old. “Personally, for me, I know how hard I’ve worked to get back to a level to have an opportunity to continue after college. Hon- estly, it’s unbelievable.” With the Hilltoppers as an outfielder and designated hitter, used mainly as the clean- up hitter in the lineup, Diedrick hit .291 with 22 RBI, nine doubles and eight home runs as a senior. His eight home runs ranked him eighth among Conference USA sluggers. In Florida to complete his medical and sign a contract, Diedrick can’t wait to get started with the next phase of his baseball path. “It’s a lot easier knowing I’m going out and doing something that I enjoy to do and is fun for me. It’s even better I get paid to go play a sport now,” he added. Diedrick credited the Ontario Blue Jays, Greg Hamilton of the national program, and former professional Nigel Wilson with help- ing him prepare to take the next step, both as a person and professional. 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 • Ju n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 25 PSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 PICKERING -- Michael Foster, a student and baseball player at Northeastern University in Boston, was selected in the 16th round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Chicago Cubs. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Generals hire Jones away from Spitfires Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — The Oshawa Generals have returned to a tried-and-true formula in choosing the 29th head coach of the sto- ried Ontario Hockey League franchise. For the second time in succession, the Generals have plucked an assistant from the Windsor Spitfires, announcing Bob Jones as D.J. Smith’s replacement on Wednesday, June 24 at the General Motors Centre. Jones and Smith had worked together with the Spitfires for seven years and won two Memorial Cups as assistants, in 2009 and 2010, before Smith was hired by the Generals in 2012. Jones said he expects some growing pains initially with the Generals, who won an OHL championship and Memorial Cup with a veteran-laden roster, but added he will bring many similar qualities as Smith, who left to become an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs. “I’m a big believer in D.J. Smith’s coach- ing philosophy,” said Jones, a 45-year-old Sault Ste. Marie native. “There’s a lot of teams that try to out-score you and play a different brand of hockey. D.J. believes in a defence-first attitude and so do I, and we had success together in Windsor. “There’s not going to be a lot of structural change here,” he continued. “I don’t think you come in here and take over a Memo- rial Cup champion team and start creat- ing the wheel. There’s a foundation here, a structure, a winning attitude. I’ve just got to make sure I’m maintaining it.” The Windsor connection has been strong in Oshawa since the arrival of owner Rocco Tullio, who is from the western Ontario city. Staying on as an assistant coach will be Eric Wellwood, who is also from Wind- sor and played under Smith and Jones with the championship teams before hav- ing his career cut short by an injury. But Roger Hunt, vice president and gen- eral manager of the Generals, said the decision to hire Jones went well beyond geography. “I think the person is important, the fact that certainly D.J. and Bob have had suc- cess there is important,” Hunt said. “If you’ve won, you’ve paid the ultimate sac- rifice and you’re prepared to do what it takes, so the fact that Bob and prior to that D.J. had won Memorial Cups, they know how to win. That’s important more so than it being a Windsor connection.” CALGARY -- It was an exciting moment in Calgary as the Durham Attack 15U girls’ Black Mighty Ninjas triumphed in a 15-13 third-set win for the Volleyball Canada championships Division 1 Tier 1 gold medal over the Ontario champion Aurora Storm Typhoon. The team was on a mission from the start, winning all but one game over the three-day tournament. In the critical quarter-finals, Attack beat the Halton Hurricanes Black 27-25, 25-20. In the semifinals, the Ninjas faced Junior Bison Gold, the No. 1- ranked team from Manitoba, who gave it a good fight but could not overcome the Ninjas’ determination, advancing the Ninjas to the gold-medal match. In a re-match of the 2015 Ontario championship gold-medal match, where the Ninjas took silver to Aurora Storm Typhoon, the Storm opened the first set, winning 25-22. The Ninjas rallied back to win the next two sets by scores of 25-14, 15-13. Team members Kate Van Camp and Georgi Williams were named as tourna- ment all-stars, and Meagan Reddon as the tournament MVP. Champion coaches are Kevin Helly- er and Kristy Moore, and players (from Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Blackstock), are Jessica Gracey, Kate Van Camp, Chazz Pitts, Meagan Red- don, Shinelle Waite, Victoria Hassall, Gillian Christidis, Victoria Chambers, Georgi Williams, Allie Prinzen and Tara Hawley. 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 • Ju n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 26 P Auto Service SpeciAlS brock road and 401 PIckerIng SerVIce cenTer HoUrS Mon.-FrI. 7:30aM-8:00PM Sat. 7:30-6:00 • Sun.9:00-6:00 905-686-2309Avoid the Rush Call for an appointment FronT WHeeL aLIgnMenT • CheCk Ball joints • CheCk tie Rod ends • CheCk foR steeRing leaks • fRont Wheel adjustments • shims oR ReaR adjustments extRa PreMIUM deTaILIng $50SaVe reg. $199.99SPecIaL$149.99 IncLUdeS WASH EXTERIOR, REMOVE TAR AND GREASE AND SAP FROM EXTERIOR, POWER WASH MATS, DRESS TIRES, CLEAN WINDOWS INSIDE AND OUT, DEODORIZE INTERIOR, VACUUM CARPET MATS AND SEATS AND TRUNK, CLEAN DOOR JAMS AND TRUNK OPENING, DEGREASE ROCKER PANELS AND WHEEL WELLS, APPLY HIGH QUALITY HAND WAX TO EXTERIOR, CLEAN VINYL AND DETAIL WITH DRESSING, SHAMPOO ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT $50SaVe $49.99 reg. $99.99 **Up to 5L of Formula 1 Synthetic oil (Assorted grades).

Durham Attack 15U wins gold at volleyball nationals Ironheads looking to slay the mighty Gaels Jr. B lacrosse playoff series starts Saturday, June 27 in Bowmanville Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON — The task at hand for the Ajax Ironheads is a difficult one, but not impossible, says coach Ron Reed as his team gets set to face the Clarington Green Gaels in the opening round of the Jr. B lacrosse playoffs. In order for the Ironheads to pull off an upset over the perennially strong Green Gaels, Reed says his players cannot afford to take a minute off. The Green Gaels finished atop the East Conference with a record of 18-2, while the Ironheads scraped into the playoffs with a 9-11 record after winning their final game of the regular season. “They’re obviously the No. 1 seed for a reason, they’re a tremendous lacrosse team,” Reed said of the Green Gaels. “Obvi- ously we’re going to have to show up for 60 minutes. I think if we play 60 consis- tent minutes, we’ll certainly be able to give them a game.” The Ironheads gave the Gaels a good go in their final of three head-to-head meet- ings this season, but coughed up a 9-7 lead through two periods by allowing the only four goals of the third. The Green Gaels have certainly owned the play over the past few years, and in fact haven’t lost to the Ironheads since May 20, 2011, stringing together 16 straight wins, including a sweep the last time they met in the playoffs two years ago. Clarington coach Brad MacArthur knows not to take the opposition lightly, however, “I think anybody that was in that group of teams that was fighting for a playoff spot is going to be a tough one,” MacArthur said. “I don’t think there was any preference as to who to play or who not to play. We just wanted to figure out who it was going to be. I was kind of sick and tired of scoreboard watching.” Both coaches say special teams will be a key to the series. In that regard, the Green Gaels were ninth best in the league on the power play and second in penalty killing while the Ironheads were 19th and 11th respectively. “We’ve got to play 60 minutes and we’ve got to stay out of the penalty box,” said Reed. “They have a great power play, we recognize that, and our offence has to find a way to put the ball in the net.” The Green Gaels were led offensively this season by Jeremy McWatters’ 73 points, with Cam Garlin (68), Jeff Fernandes (62) and Adam Perroni (60) close behind. Patrick Morgan’s 63 points led the Iron- heads, followed by Jake Gilmour’s 46 and Adrian Torok-Orban’s 43 before a big drop- off. In goal, Liam Wynne and Joel Watson combined to allow the third fewest goals in the league for Clarington, while Chris Steele and Matthew Law allowed the 11th fewest for Ajax. “It’s playoffs and everything comes down to special teams, goaltending and defence,” said MacArthur. “If we’re better than them in three areas then it should be a good out- come for us. If not, it’ll be a rough sum- mer.” The best-of-five series gets underway at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 27 at the Garnet Rickard Recreation Complex, with Game 2 at the Ajax Community Centre Mon- day, June 29 (8 p.m.) and Game 3 back in Bowmanville Thursday, July 2 (8 p.m.). If necessary, Game 4 is in Ajax July 4 at 7 p.m. and Game 5 in Bowmanville July 5 at 2 p.m. “I just want to get to three before they do,” MacArthur said of his team’s strategy. “They’ve got a pretty good, hard-working team and they’ve fought for all they could.” “We honestly feel we can compete with anybody if everybody shows up to play on the same day,” Reed summarized. “Hope- fully that’s the case here.” 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 • Ju n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 27 AP FINANCING AVAILABLE O.A.C.*Prices plus taxes and licensing PICKERING MITSUBISHI 1167 KINGSTON ROAD (Just west of Liverpool Road)905-250-2125 FREE LIFETIME OIL CHANGES WITH EVERY NEW OR PRE-OWNED VEHICLE PURCHASE. 2015 CHEVOLET CRUzE Power Package,cruise,air,Bluetooth, heated seats ++, only 12,547 km,stk #u0219a $17,995* 2014 MITSUbISHI RVR 4 TO CHOOSE FROM stk #n060a $20,995* 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAb slt,4x4,Bed liner,Pwr.Pkg.,Bluetooth,cruise,keyless entry,5.7 hemi,under 30,00 km stk #u0226 $29,995* 2012 MITSUbISHI LANCER SE grey,cruise,Bluetooth,heated seats, air,rear sPoiler, 89,000 km,stk #u0144a$14,995* 2014 HYUNDAI VELOSTAR TURbO grey,Pwr.Pkg.,sunroof,cruise,leather,rearview camera ++,less than 37,000 km, stk #u0211 $20,995* 2013 FORD F150 grey,air,only 16,000 km, stk #u0222 $20,995* 2012 HONDA CIVIC EX-L cruise,Power Package,heated seats, air,Bluetooth, stk #n0220a $15,995* 2009 MITSUbISHI LANCER air,cruise,heated seats,keyless entry, Bluetooth,rear sPoiler stk #u0208 $10,995* 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT Quad caB 4x4,air,cruise,Bluetooth,Pwr.Pkg.,alloy wheels,keyless entry ++ under 34,000 km,stk #u0227 $32,995* 2013 MITSUbISHI RVR Power Package,cruise,keyless entry, heated seats,Bluetooth, only 66,000 km,stk #n0287a $19,995* 2008 FORD RANGER SPORT 4X4 air,Power Package,keyless entry, low mileage for its age, stk #u0220 $14,995* SpECial: full Power grouP,cruise,air, keyless entry, stk #n0225a $12,995* 2012 DODGE CHARGER SE Carrier of the Week Congratulations Ramarr for being our Carrier of the Week.
