A Q gillespie Law Office Legal Matters What do I need to prepare for my first meeting with my injury and accident lawyer? After you have been injured,your first priority should always be to receive medical attention. Once you have been released from the hospital and are able, your next call should be to a personal injury lawyer to set up a consultation. The consultation will be the first meeting between you and your lawyer and is very important. It is during this meeting that the lawyer will decide if your case has merit and if it is likely to result in a settlement or judgement in your favour. It is important to bring all of the documentation you have regarding your injury to this first meeting. The documentation can include,but is not limited to,photos of the scene and your injuries,witness contact information, medical records and documents,and police reports. During the meeting, your lawyer will want you to provide a detailed description of what happened to cause your injury.Before your appointment, make sure that you know the date of your accident and all other relevant facts. It’s helpful if you write as much detail down as possible after the accident while your memory is still fresh.If you have suffered a head injury or are unable to recall the details of the event,ask a friendor familymember with knowledge of the accident to provide you with the pertinent facts so that you are able to provide them to your lawyer. You will also need to bring photo identification. When you make your appointment,feel free to ask if there is anything specific that you should also bring with you. !secirpGNIZAMAtaselcihevdesu001revodnA- *!ylkeew07$morfesaelXLV-RC5102- *!civiC5102ynahtiwSUNOBesael0001$LAICEPS- *!sledomtcelesno%99.0- !sevvnecnihsacni*0005$otpU- SITSUGUASIHT DAORNOTSGNIK0081 .sliatederomrofrelaeDadnoHoiratnOruoyeeS.ecitontuohtiwegnahcottcejbusserutaefdnasecirp,sreffO.ylnosesoprupnoitartsulliroferaseirosseccadnaselciheV* 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 • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 5 3 AP A One of A Kind Experience Close to Home!

Durham Region celebrates with local athletes at the Pan Am Games FREE! Families asking school boards to track race-based data including suspensions and expulsions Reka Szekely, Leeanna McLean and Parvaneh Pessian Frustrated by a school system that they say is unfairly profiling black students, a group of local mothers has gone so far as to hit the picket line outside Ajax High School. They carried signs with phrases such as, “Racism Hurts Everyone.” Whitby resident and mother of four, Akilah, was one of several black mothers involved in the December protest. She said she wanted to demonstrate to other parents how many black males were being suspended and expose the truth behind the “school to prison pipeline,” a term that refers to young black men being funneled to the prison system instead of higher education in the United States. The clinical social worker and youth justice community advocate says she attends every Durham District School Board meeting and is always present for the public question period. “Because I know that so many things are being done that are against policies and procedures, against the Ministry of Education and DDSB, I ask the questions that dig at those realities.” Though a regular at school board meet- ings, Akilah asked that her last name not be included in this article to protect the identity of her children. The youth justice advocate represents many black families in the Durham com- munity at suspension and expulsion hearings, and says the mistreatment of black males is a systemic issue that is embedded within the justice and educa- tion system. “We know that when you go to an expulsion hearing, you will see a black male. We know that after he finishes and walks out of the building, the next expul- sion hearing will be with a black male,” she said. “Unfortunately, when we pull the cover back and expose things to the people who are in charge, they choose not to see, they choose to turn their heads. They silence us.” Akilah said following her four black children through the school system was a tremendous amount of work and that it was “absolutely horrendous what hap- pened to them.” Luigia Ayotte, superintendant of educa- tion, program services, for the Durham public board, said the board is in the pro- cess of releasing a report to respond to the questions raised by Akilah and other parents at school board meetings. Without comment on specific cases, she says school board officials have an open- door policy and want to hear from par- ents who feel their children have faced discrimination. “I can tell you our director is open to speaking to parents, he’s open to meeting with them,” she said. Akilah’s son, now 18, said it took him years to learn to deal with staff at his Whitby public high school by keeping quiet and tolerating what he considers unfair treatment... • Read the entire story in this month’s edition of Loupe Magazine Durham schools racially profile black kids: parents AJAX -- Gloria Smallclarke was among a group protesting outside Ajax High School during lunch late last year.

Launched in late June, Durham police’s online reporting system allows victims of minor property crimes, such as theft and mischief, to file a report about the incident through the service’s website, www.drps.ca . “We’re trying to make reporting minor crimes easier for people,” said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby. Low-level crimes are deemed low priority incidents, meaning those reporting them may wait for some time before an officer is able to respond to take a report. Consequently, Mr. Selby said, victims of minor crimes might not bother to report them. Even if they’re classified as minor, the incidents are important, he said. “It’s important information for us,” he said. “We can identify crime trends.” For instance, if a spate of incidents is reported in an area, that could lead to enhanced patrols, he said. “We can tell officers, maybe it’s worth swinging by an area at 3 a.m.,” Mr. Selby said. Reports can be made by access- ing www.drps.ca and clicking on the Online Services heading on the homepage. Also now offered under the Online Services heading are registries for people with autism, and vulnerable persons. The registries provide police with information that can be helpful when responding to calls at residenc- es, or when people go missing. In the case of people with autism, prior knowledge can help prevent distress or misunderstandings in the midst of stressful situations, Mr. Selby said. “It might provide officers with insight on how to interact with peo- ple,” he said. “The officer doesn’t nec- essarily know that background going into the interaction.” And gathering information on vul- nerable people, including those with dementia and intellectual issues, might help to expedite searches in the event they go missing, he said. “This is not information we would access unless we need it,” said Mr. Selby. “In a critical situation, it empowers our officers with much better information to deal with a cri- sis.” Durham police launch online reporting system for minor property crimes DURHAM -- Durham police have enhanced online services to allow reporting of minor property crimes such as theft and mischief through their website, www.drps.ca. In addi- tion to reporting crime, residents can also submit information to autism and vulnerable persons’ registries. newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham 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 • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP Toll free:1-877-720-4837 Call Now416-800-4411Call Now416-800-4411 Proud member of Ajax Board of Trade Web:www.goHomeSaving.com It’s Hard To Stop A Trane.® *Rebate amount is combination with OPA rebate.

About 600 first-year students recently descended on the north Oshawa campus to get a glimpse of what the coming school year will hold. The school hosted its iBegin program the week of July 20, where incoming students were able to tour the campus, attend work- shops, check out a sample lecture and con- nect with student services. Kate Giroux, 18, will be attending UOIT for nursing in September, and says she is both excited and nervous. “I’m most worried about balancing school work, a social life and home life,” she says. Fellow first-year nursing student Kailey Gaunt says the idea of lecture-style classes is intimidating. “This will be a big transition from a high school setting with smaller classes, where the teachers are there to guide you and make sure you get your assignments in,” she noted. Officials say the iBegin program is designed to help students address those exact con- cerns, well before the first day of class. “There are a lot of challenges in first year. Living away from home, the volume of work, learning time management,” says Lindsey Ostrosser, program manager for orientation and transition with the UOIT Student Expe- rience Centre. She says students who attended iBegin got tips on scheduling their time, how to take notes during a lecture and where to get help with issues such as accessibility, tutoring and mental health concerns. Melissa Coombs, 17, an incoming medi- cal laboratory science student, said she espe- cially appreciated the sample lecture and campus tour. “Now I know a little bit of what to expect from my first classes and I know how to get to some of my classes. It will make the first week less stressful,” she said. Parents also attended iBegin sessions, where they learned how to best support their kids. iBegin is one of several programs available to help incoming UOIT students start their post-secondary career off on the right foot. Others include math, science and writing boot camps, and pre-calculus review work- shops. Ms. Ostrosser says the programs are espe- cially beneficial this year, when some incom- ing students were affected by a six-week strike by public high school teachers. An estimated 400 of UOIT’s 2,600 incoming students missed class time at the end of their Grade 12 year as a result of the strike. Tips for first-year students • Get involved with clubs, sports teams or student government. It’s a great way to socialize and meet new people. UOIT hosts its Get Involved Fair Sept. 10. • Establish a schedule that maps out time to study, work and have fun. • Maintain a healthy lifestyle by getting enough sleep, eating well and exercis- ing. Take advantage of campus fitness facilities; being active is a great stress reliever. • Meet with your instructors during office hours to ask questions and dis- cuss academic performance. • Learn about OSAP, scholarships, bur- saries and donor awards that might be able to help lighten your financial load. • Get to know your academic advisor. They can help with course selection and other academic decisions, or if you’re struggling with your courses. OSHAWA -- Yathurshika Kathirgamanathan and Bethany Samuel listened to some tips from Kelsey Glofcheskie as UOIT hosted its iBegin program to help new first-year stu- dents learn about university life. Students had the opportunity to meet faculty, learn about the school and tour the facility.

Keep the lanes but use them to ensure an even flow of traffic and increase traffic safety in and around the GTA. In many populated areas of the USA, lanes like this are designated as lanes that can only be used by large trucks and trans- port trailers as they drive through high- density areas. Through city areas, all these type of vehicles are required to drive in sin- gle file and only in these lanes. This works and is proven to work. It reduces the multi- lane convoy effect that thousands of trucks create. Car drivers can safely exit multi- lane highways and merge onto the high- ways in a safe and courteous manner. With speed restrictors mandatory for these type of vehicles, the RPMs are regu- lated ... causing large vehicle drivers prob- lems keeping up to speed on hills or in stop-and-go traffic. They are often seen driving three abreast blocking the normal traffic flow. It is not the operators’ fault. They are professionals. Making them “toll lanes” ... not a good idea.

All content copyright Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Editorial &&& Opinions Opinions Opinions Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 5 On Sunday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper put in motion the longest election campaign in Canadian history when he met with Governor General David Johnston and dissolved Parliament. Traditionally campaigns run 37 days but this campaign will last a full 79 days before election day on Oct. 19. Canadians, by and large, have reacted to this early election call with expected disdain. With voter turnouts consistent- ly well below 50 per cent there isn’t a lot of interest in politics, especially the nasty type that’s playing out through attack ads on TV. It’s very early days in the campaign and we already know Liberal leader Jus- tin Trudeau “is just not ready” the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair is “an unethical oppor- tunist who looks out for himself at tax- payers’ expense”, a “career politician the country can’t afford”, and that Stephen Harper’s claim that he’s balanced the budget is false as the Parliamentary Bud- get Officer Jean-Denis Frechette has indi- cated the country is running a $1 billion deficit. But look beyond the rhetoric and you’ll get a better understanding of what each party is offering Canadians. Whether you’re a Conservative, NDP, Liberal or Green party supporter, each party has planks in their election plat- forms that might appeal to you. And despite the fact we all lead busy lives Ste- phen Harper has given us plenty of time, 11 weeks to be exact, to educate ourselves about the policies of each party. And even if you don’t do any in-depth research there’s still plenty of time to tune in to a debate between the leaders or possibly attend a local debate here in Durham Region. It would be naïve to think this was why Mr. Harper started the election campaign so early. The Conservatives stand to ben- efit from the longer campaign period as they are in a position to fully capitalize on the higher spending limits. Both the NDP and Liberals will struggle to keep up as they’ve raised less money. The Green Party, which has raised a fraction of the money of its rivals, won’t be a factor on the national scene. But don’t count out their local candidates. The longer campaign period will give all of our local candidates time to meet residents and that’s a good thing because the more you know about a candidate the more informed your decision will be on Oct. 19. And an informed decision is the right decision no matter what party or candidate gets your vote. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Lengthy election campaign helps informed decisions Politicians ready for an election, but the public’s not Last weekend, the federal election campaign was officially launched in what will be the longest elec- tion campaign ever in Canada. Now, the fact that the writ dropped so far ahead of the Oct. 19 election date is mostly about cam- paign spending rules. A longer campaign period means the parties can spend more of their election war chests. But the truth is any given election season, poli- ticians are in campaign mode months before the election officially kicks off. For example, federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair visited Oshawa a couple of weeks ago to discuss his party’s plan for childcare. Though not an official campaign stop, it sure felt like he was selling his platform. It seems like every time I click on a YouTube video these days, I get an ad telling me Liberal leader Jus- tin Trudeau’s just not ready, or Mr. Trudeau himself explains why he is ready. Local Conservative MPs have recently held a slew of good-news funding announcements, trying to grab some last-minute goodwill from the public. However, as ready as the politicians are to duke it out, the public is wary. The prime minister swung by Ajax on the Civic Holiday and while the die-hard party loyalists turned out, I think most Ajax residents were more interested in enjoying the last hours of their three- day weekend and their scarce summer days than paying attention to his visit. Many voters already see streets blanketed with election signs as a form of visual pollution and now we’re in for two and half months of them. There’s going to be more robocalls, more campaign flyers and more posts from politically-inclined friends fill- ing up Facebook streams. I suspect that instead of inspiring more people to head to the polls, the early election call will leave people exhausted with politics and inclined to sim- ply stay home. --Reka Szekely’s column covers social media and other local issues.

Kirsten Rowe, 14, is one of this year’s win- ners of the Young Citizens contest, which challenges Canadian kids ages 10 to 16 to make a video on a heritage topic. She picked the James Bay Treaty and used LEGO figures and stop-motion video to explain the complex and controversial topic. “It all started when my mom showed me the treaty online. We thought it was really interesting, we were reading it with a magni- fying glass,” says Kirsten, who will be starting Grade 9 at Ajax High School this fall. She spent about a week researching and writing the script and eight hours shooting the video. The James Bay Treaty is an agreement signed in July 1905, by the Government of Canada -- in the name of King Edward VII -- and several Ojibway and Cree bands in northern Ontario. Other bands were brought under the treaty in later years. It allowed the government to construct railways and other development in north- ern Ontario, by moving the First Nations people to reserves. “It may seem pretty fair, but there’s always more than meets the eye,” Kirsten says in her video voice-over. She goes on to explain that, even though the treaty was signed more than 100 years ago, it still impacts First Nations people today. “I thought the video might help raises awareness,” Kirsten says, citing crumbling infrastructure and high suicide rates in northern Ontario reserves like Attawapiskat. The local teen says she didn’t expect her video to be chosen as a winner from close to 200 entries, and was surprised and thrilled by the news. Contest winners are decided by public online voting and input from a panel of judges. Two students from each province and ter- ritory win a trip to Ottawa in August to attend Canada’s Youth History Forum and a dinner with the Governor General. While English is her favourite subject, Kirsten says she finds history interesting and encourages other youth to give the Young Citizens contest a try. “At first it might seem hard, but if you put your mind to it and come up with a subject that means a lot to you, you can do it,” she says.

The location offers a variety of activities including mini-putt, a batting cage, a driving range, beach volleyball courts, and a snack bar. The mini-putt has to be the main attrac- tion of the facility. There are some unique and challenging holes that you won’t find anywhere else. The course works very well in its natural environment and you’ll probably want to play it more than once. The batting cage is decent, with multiple pitching machines offering varying pitch speeds. I’d recommend taking your own equipment but if you don’t there are bats and helmets available. The driving range is standard. There are grassy areas to hit from, artificial surfaces with tees, and a covered section in case of rain. There are clubs available to borrow for free, but again I’d recommend taking your own.

Shine brightly at Durham Festival, residents of Durham Region A message from Durham Tourism On Saturday, Aug. 15, Durham Tour- ism will be challenging the Guinness World Records title for the Longest Pic- nic Table. The current record is 394 feet, 9 inch- es, so we’re working with Habitat for Humanity Durham to assemble a team of more than 100 volunteers to construct a 400-plus-foot-long picnic table, which can seat more than 500 happy picnickers at Victoria Fields in Whitby. Check-in will start at 11 a.m., the offi- cial adjudication will take place at noon, and picnicking will follow. Pack a picnic basket, pre-order a picnic online or purchase scrumptious local food from the on-site vendors. After the event concludes, the lum- ber and fasteners used to build the table will be donated to Habitat for Humanity Durham, for the outside framing of four townhouses in Oshawa. Full picnic details are available at www. durhamfestival.ca. Go online to register and guarantee your place at the table. The Durham Harvest Picnic is just one of many exciting events taking place as part of Durham Festival, Aug. 13 to 16, taking over the region just as the Toron- to 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games wind down. Highlights include Elevation2015, a one-of-a-kind cycling conference; Ham- let and Dusk Dances performance at the Pickering Waterfront; Picasso’s Picnic, a children’s art festival, at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington; a savoury celebra- tion at Taste Ajax; Whitby Harbour Day fun for everyone; and more along Dur- ham’s beautiful Waterfront Trail. Our northern municipalities will be well represented too, with the North Durham Village being set up at Victoria Fields and at the Port Whitby Marina. Here, you’ll learn about Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge’s historic downtowns, art- ists and musicians, museums, sporting opportunities, locally produced prod- ucts, and all the very best of rural life. A truly unique new event is the Wood- land Disco and Glowfest, taking place at Parkwood Estate in Oshawa the evening of Aug. 14. This free, family friendly event fea- tures a D.J. disco dance party, inter- active glow art for children and adults alike, entertainment and art installa- tions presented by the local arts com- munity -- groovy. Durham Festival closes with the Ride4UnitedWay Gran Fondo epic bike ride and fundraiser on Aug. 16, a great way to explore the region’s small towns and scenic roads.

But in a mature Pickering neighbourhood, the seemingly innocent and joyful sound of children playing to one young family is a racket that’s getting under somebody else’s skin. “I think we’re being targeted because we have children and I think that’s really sad. In our own backyard,” says Danielle Hons- berger, a Pickering mother with three chil- dren, aged seven, nine and 11. The busy mother claims the kids are so immersed in activities, that they only play in the pool for a short time during the day throughout the week, in between a full day of camp and an evening of organized sports and activities. On the weekends, she says they’re usually away, because Ms. Hons- berger and her husband work and the chil- dren are not at home. But the family is receiving complaints through the City of Pickering’s bylaw department for being too loud. “We got our first citation the first day of summer vacation,” says Ms. Honsberger. “I was like, ‘This is going to be a long sum- mer’.” She claims her kids are only splashing around in the pool, playing games such as Marco Polo. “That’s normal kid stuff,” says Ms. Hons- berger. “We’re not excessive by any means.” The family has since received a second notice, which stated further violations will result in the commencement of legal action by the City of Pickering. Kim Thompson, manager of Pickering bylaw enforcement services, could not speak on this specific issue. But she said while the City cannot take the time to sit around a residence to monitor noise, if a complainant has enough evidence and is willing to testify in court, the City could lay a charge. A decision would be up to a Justice of the Peace. “I can’t say it would generally come to that,” says Ms. Thompson. “Most people would be willing to try to address the issue out of consideration for their neighbours. We would want to give them every oppor- tunity to address the opportunity before it came to that.” Ms. Thompson says summer tends to be the time of year when the City receives noise complaints pertaining to children, mostly because people tend to get louder when they’re swimming and playing in a pool. “Most of the time, knocking on someone’s door and letting them know it’s an issue is enough to make people cognizant of the fact they might be disturbing their neigh- bour and make some effort to tone it down,” she said. The City of Pickering website states all residents of Pickering have the right to enjoy reasonable peace and quiet while at home and the bylaw exists to protect resi- dents from unreasonable or unnecessary noise. Ms. Thompson noted some people work night shifts and sleep during the day, or others may have an illness and need quiet, for example. “Not everybody seems to understand the actions they take affect other people,” she says. Generally, Pickering noise complaints relate to parties, teenagers revving cars or construction noise. However, yelling, shouting and hooting are covered in the bylaw as well. Under prohibitive activities in the Pickering noise bylaw, the following is list- ed: Persistent yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling or singing at such a volume that it is audible from the interior of a residence or business whose occupant has made every reasonable attempt to mitigate the recep- tion of the noise. Ms. Honsberger says her husband went inside the house and closed the doors and windows to see if he could hear, and he couldn’t hear the children. “We don’t want to cause trouble,” she says. “I want to be considerate of others, but only when those complaints are valid.” She questions the message the complaints are sending, at a time when adults are con- cerned about a lack of activity among chil- dren. Ms. Honsberger runs a breakfast and healthy schools program at Westcreek Pub- lic School. “This past year our focus was on eating healthy, being physically active and resil- ient,” she says. She finds this situation demonstrates how much play time has changed for children over the years. She used to play until the street lights came on, then she’d go home for dinner, for example. “They don’t have that opportunity very much anymore because everything is so structured,” she says. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling and singing at a loud volume is prohibited in Pickering’s noise bylaw • Pickering parents claim their children are just having innocent fun, but neigh- bours have had enough of the noise • Noise complaints can end up in court, and a decision up to a Justice of the Peace Pickering family gets citations from City for noisy kids PICKERING -- Danielle Honsberger has received two noise complaints from the City of Pickering regarding her three children, ages 11, 9, and 7, for being too loud while in their back yard swimming pool. She says they are only home from about 4-6 p.m. each night to swim in the pool.

UOIT research could make firefighting safer ACE wind tunnel facility used to simulate extreme heat, cold Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- From scorching fires to frig- id ice rescues, firefighters often encounter extreme conditions on the job. New research underway at UOIT aims to make the profession safer, by examin- ing how harsh conditions impact the body and mind. The local university has partnered with Toronto Fire Services for the project, with plans to come up with safer work practices for firefighters exposed to intense temper- atures. “We wanted to know, is there a line where our cognitive function and deci- sion-making skills decrease? Is it grad- ual or do you hit a specific temperature and there is impairment?”says researcher Michael Williams-Bell, a PhD candidate in UOIT’s faculty of science. “For firefight- ers on the job, their core temperature just keeps rising. The gear is so restrictive, they can’t dissipate heat.” Researchers made use of UOIT’s Auto- motive Centre of Excellence facility, which can instantly simulate any climatic condi- tion on the planet, from sweltering jungle downpours to the paralyzing cold of an arctic storm. Firefighters wearing full gear walked on a treadmill inside a climate chamber where the temperature was cranked to 35 C. They were then tasked with complet- ing cognitive function tests and playing a video games that simulates common fire- fighting tasks. Researchers documented impairment when the body’s core temperature reached 38.5 C. “A firefighter may say they feel fine, but this information could help decide when to pull them off the front line so they can cool down,” Mr. Williams-Bell notes. Andrew Kostiuk, a division command- er with Toronto Fire Services, says the research is important, because firefighters often have to make complex decisions in high-stress situations. “They may have to do search patterns if they’re looking for someone in a building, or keep themselves oriented in a building when they can’t see anything,” he explains. Researchers are also interested in how extreme cold impacts the ability of fire- fighters to perform auto extrications. The ACE facility recently simulated a highway collision scene in -20 C blizzard conditions. Mr. Williams-Bell called the project a “niche” research area, but says the find- ings could be used to benefit people who work in other professions with extreme temperatures, such as miners, bakers and construction workers. Toronto Fire is also working with UOIT on research to prevent back injuries in firefighters. 18th annual general meeting nOtiCe OF annual general meeting 18th Annual General Meeting Thursday, September 24, 2015 • 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, 72 Queen Street, Oshawa, ON L1H 3Z3 Durham Workforce Authority is funded by Employment Ontario 18e Assemblée Générale Annuelle Jeudi, 24 Septembre, 2015 • 9h00 – 11h00 The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, 72 Queen Street, Oshawa, ON L1H 3Z3 Durham effectifs Autorité si financé par Emploi Ontario aViS D’aSSemBlÉe gÉnÉrale anuelle OSHAWA -- UOIT researcher Michael Williams-Bell is working with Toronto Fire Services on a project to make work- ing conditions safer for firefighters.

First, it’s helping young Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area obtain the informa- tion, skills and work experience needed to get jobs. Pickering–Scarborough East MP Corne- liu Chisu helped make the announcement on July 29 that through the government’s Youth Employment Strategy, four orga- nizations will deliver projects to help a total of 112 young people in Scarborough, Pickering, Toronto and Durham Region, with an investment of more than $1.2 mil- lion. These projects will help youth and recent post-secondary graduates transi- tion into the job market, return to school or advance their careers. Mr. Chisu also announced the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will receive funding through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. The government has approved up to $96,250 for a total project cost of up to $192,000 for the expansion of the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area aquatic facility. Dispose of bulky yard waste following storm in Durham WHITBY -- Following the weekend’s storm, the Region of Durham’s works department is reminding residents that there is no limit on curbside waste collections as long as set- out requirements are followed. Many residents are dealing with a large volume of yard waste following the storm, such as downed trees and branches. For branches less than 10 centimetres in diameter, residents should tie brush/ branches in bundles up to one metre in length and 76 centimetres in width. There is no limit to the number of bundles. For safety reasons, residents are not to clear trees from roads, sidewalks and power lines. For trees or branches fallen on Regional roads, call at 1-800-372-1102. For trees or branches fallen on municipal prop- erty, residents should contact their local municipality. A yard collection schedule is available at www.durham.ca/waste . 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 • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 5 19 AP *Limitedtimeoffer.Availableateligibleandparticipatingdealersonly.Somerestrictionsapply.Pleaseseeparticipatingdealerfordetails.Financing subjecttocreditapprovalofqualifiedbuyersbyauthorizedBobcatfinanceproviders.Theunittradedinmustbe12yearsoldornewer.Trade-inoffer goodforNEW,neverbeforesoldBobcatskid-steerloadersandall-wheelsteerloadersinUSandCanadaonly.Thetradeallowancerebateisonaone toonebasis.BobcatCompanyreservestherighttodiscontinuethisprogramatanytimewithoutpriornotice.Bobcat®andtheBobcatlogoare trademarksofBobcatCompany.15-B196 OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY Authorized Bobcat Dealer CALL YOUR LOCAL BOBCAT SALESMAN Bobcat of Toronto 241 Deerhurst Drive •Brampton, ON L6T 5K3 416-697-4172 •www.bobcattoronto.com .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY Mentionthisad andget 10% O F F onYOURNEXTBOBCAT PARTSORDER TACBOT BXER NUOY REDR OSTRPA OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC ds aihn toitneM EAST Steve Sarginson 416-451-5329 Ajax, Pickering,Uxbridge, Peterborough,Lindsay, Kawarthas, East Gwillimbury EAST CENTRAL Stu Johnson 647-668-3229 East Toronto, Markham, Stouffville, Scarborough, King City, Aurora, Newmarket WEST CENTRAL Bob Bell 647-668-8405 Brampton, Northeast Etobicoke, Vaughan CENTRAL Gino Cervo 416-909-6597 York, Metro, Vaughan, Richmond Hill WEST Jake Gowland 647-668-5257 Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke The largest stock of Bobcat ®equipment and parts in Eastern Canada0%$2,50060months* FORUP TO CAD Tradeallowance on new Bobcat compact track loaders and excavators*for your used Bobcat loader* We offer free consultations We accept all insurance plans for all your denture needs free UltrasonicDentUre cleaner With all new dentures 283 Kingston Rd.

Christine Atkinson, a 45-year-old moth- er of one from Pickering, was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago, when her son was just six. She underwent treat- ment in Durham Region and had recon- structive surgery at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. “I really found that I got some very spe- cialized personal treatment,” she said. More than a decade later, Ms. Atkinson is in remission and all clear. As the operations manager at McDon- ald’s Restaurants of Canada, she is partic- ipating in the walk (formerly, the Week- end to End Women’s Cancers) for the third time as captain of Team McDon- ald’s. “For me, what I always think is just awe- some is people on the sidelines coming out and cheering for us,” said Ms. Atkin- son. The one-day, 25-kilometre walk through the diverse communities of Toronto will raise funds for personalized cancer medicine, which enables clini- cians and researchers to detect cancers earlier, diagnose with more precision, target treatment for each patient and sup- port patients and their families. The event raises funds for all cancers, and men are encouraged to walk too. When a walker registers, they select a cancer fund their dollars raised will be allocated to. To register or for more information on the walk, visit www.onewalk.ca or call 416-815-WALK(9255).

Appointmentsare recommended, butnotnecessary Durham College teaching restaurant wins high praise on TripAdvisor Bistro ’67 in Whitby launches new summer menu, harvest dinner planned for Sept. 24 Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A local restaurant that gives culinary students hands-on cooking experience has become a fan favourite. Bistro ’67, a full-service teaching restaurant at the Dur- ham College Centre for Food, was recently awarded a certificate of excellence by TripAdvisor, the largest travel website in the world. The recognition is given to places that “consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews.” In the case of Bis- tro ’67, that includes being ranked as the #2 restaurant out of 235 eateries in Whitby. “I think the vision the college had is finally coming to be,” says restaurant general manager Kelly O’Brien. “Peo- ple come here to enjoy a different experience, we’re doing something really unique.” Bistro ’67 offers a “living lab” for students in the col- lege’s culinary skills, culinary management and hospital- ity management programs, who spend class time working in the restaurant under the guidance of staff. It also boasts a partnership with celebrity chef Jamie Kennedy and emphasizes a “field-to-fork” approach to food -- agriculture students grow produce in fields and greenhouses just outside the restaurant’s walls, and those items are featured prominently on the menu. “The other day someone came in with a basket of fresh- picked okra and a little while later it was on a customer’s plate,” says Ron Subden, Bistro ’67’s new executive chef. “Everything we do is focused on local. My first choice is something picked right outside here, then I would go to 50 km or 100 km.” The restaurant’s new summer menu -- which launched last week -- is packed with home-grown items. Rice paper wraps are stuffed with garden peas and pep- pers, popcorn seedlings and oyster mushrooms. Edama- me spaghetti includes heirloom grape tomatoes, cremini and snap peas. Local berries can be found in the summer berry brulee and strawberry shortcake verine. “It’s more challenging in the winter, but we’re always try- ing new things to keep it local,” says Mr. Subden, citing the use of cold-frame technology to grow greens in the colder months. A fall harvest menu will start in mid-October and Bistro ’67 is planning an outdoor harvest dinner on Sept. 24, with tickets available later this summer. Visit www.bistro67.ca for more information. WHITBY -- Ron Subden is the new executive chef at Bistro ‘67, the teaching restaurant at the Durham College Centre for Food. It was recently recognized with a certificate of excellence from the TripAdvisor website and is now the No. 2-ranked restaurant in Whitby. The restaurant is getting ready to launch a new ‘field-to-fork’ menu and will take advantage of gardens planted right outside the building.

Previously exclusive to Toronto, the inau- gural Pickering Food Truck Festival is on Aug. 8 and 9, from noon to 9 p.m. at One The Esplanade, off Valley Farm Road. Then on the next weekend, in downtown Oshawa, Taste of Durham International Food Festival is on Aug. 14 and 15 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Aug. 16 from 2 to 8 p.m., in Memorial Park (at Simcoe Street South at John Street West). The festivals are charitable and family- friendly, with free admission and free, acces- sible parking. Each event features more than 20 diverse caterers, alongside other vendors selling a wide range of products, and live musical performances by emerging Canadi- an talent. Both festivals include eating chal- lenges and prize giveaways. The Pickering Food Truck Festival features vendors serving a variety of freshly prepared meals and snacks from more than 30 food trucks. The festival involves classic Canadi- an food trucks, like Beavertails and Tiny Tom Donuts, and local culinary finds from across the GTA, such as Alfie’s Lemonade Truck, and FeasTO, Canada’s only dumpling truck. The festival’s daily eating challenges are to include feasts of hot wings, poutine and more. Guests of the Pickering Food Truck Fes- tival can also enjoy cold drinks, including a selection of organic beer, in the festival’s beverage garden. Product vendors are sell- ing memorabilia and other items in the fes- tival’s vendors’ village, and kids can enjoy the activities, games, and bouncy house in the children’s midway area. Three bands from the GTA, EverGlo, a top 40 cover band, Crooked Zebras, a classic rock band, and country band Young Country are performing live music throughout the festival. Guests are asked to bring $5 to be donated to SickKids Foundation. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” says Ben Free- man of the Canadian Food Truck Founda- tion, the not-for-profit organization behind the event. “It will be a great opportunity for the whole family to spend the day together.” The Canadian Food Truck Foundation is a charitable organization that supports and furthers the food truck movement. The movement works to promote food trucks around some of Toronto’s limiting municipal bylaws. Vendors say bylaws severely restrict options in both location and availability. For example, food trucks must be 50 metres away from all restaurants, making most pop- ular locations in Toronto uninhabitable. “This is an opportunity for small business owners to congregate and showcase their culinary expertise without restrictions,” says Mr. Freeman. “Guests will see a lot of food trucks they wouldn’t normally see all togeth- er in Toronto.” Meanwhile, at the celebration of Canadian diversity and unity, Taste of Durham Inter- national Food Festival, classic hot dogs and hamburgers are being served alongside a culinary smorgasbord of Thai, Indian, and Caribbean foods, farm fresh barbecue, spe- cialty foods (like jerk poutine, meat pies and spiral fries), and more. Food trucks from across Pickering and Ajax, and ice cream trucks from Oshawa are adding to the festi- val’s selection. This year, Taste of Durham Internation- al Food Festival has also partnered with the second annual Durham Business Expo, so caterers will serve alongside local small busi- ness vendors that are part of the exposition. Durham’s vendors are selling beauty and health products, souvenirs, handmade arts and crafts, and more. Cultural arts, folk dancing, interactive activi- ties and a group dance competition are enter- taining festival-goers, along with the festi- val’s diverse lineup of live music performers. The festival will showcase classic rock, cover bands, celtic and maritime music, Caribbean violin, Christian rock and gospel, and reggae music. Headlining the event is Ontario country music singer Chelsea Crites, winner of Niag- ara Idol in 2014. Crites is performing at the opening ceremonies at 1:30 p.m., then again at 6 p.m. on Aug. 14. “(She) is (an) up-and-coming Canadian country recording star in the making...She is a very hard worker in the Canadian country music industry,” says Don Joyce, president of Taste of Durham International. Participants are encouraged to bring non- perishable food items to the event to support Oshawa’s New Life Neighbourhood Center Food Banks, and to give $2 towards the food festival, and Taste of Durham’s other com- munity endeavors.

Carole Pope comes to Durham Aug. 7 By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- No matter what she’s up to, you can count on Carole Pope to speak her mind. The musician, forever known for her time fronting Rough Trade and for the song High School Confidential, is playing Oshawa’s Atria on Aug. 7. It will be an acoustic show, with Pope and two guitarists. But Pope, who was born in the UK and grew up in Scarborough, has done a lot since Rough Trade split in the late ’80s: solo work, an autobiography, music for TV and film. In an interview, she says the themes she writes about, sex, politics and sexual poli- tics, remain as relevant as subject matter in 2015 as they were decades ago. “People are still, you know, there’s so much sexual repression and guilt in North America,” she says. “It’s a never-ending sub- ject to write about. I’m also a political writ- er... it’s just a nightmare right now.” It begs the question -- what does Carole Pope find nightmarish? “Just, you know, corporations running governments. Living in the States (she moved back to Los Angeles a little over a year ago after five years in New York City), just the violence, police killing black people and the whole gun culture, that’s scary,” she says. “In Canada, just the government hav- ing too much power and the environment. I don’t think the Canadian government gives a shit about the environment.” When Rough Trade started, she says there were a lot of cover bands and the band was told, “you can’t do original material.” But they did, and Pope was considered highly provocative, even dangerous, definitely not mainstream. She still is -- and isn’t, but it’s no act. “I was just being me,” Pope says. “I think people are numbed. I mean, like, nothing is sacred. I just do what I do.” It’s not a big surprise when Pope says she’s “appalled by a lot of what’s going on musi- cally, the music industry. There’s a lot of no- talent artists out there,” she says. “There’s a lot of music that’s just manufactured.” Pope’s Atria show starts at 8:30 p.m. Tick- ets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, avail- able at www.ticketscene.ca/events/13060/. The Atria is at 59 King St. E. newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham 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 • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 5 26 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Bowling for Gold OSHAWA -- Lorne Schiele, of the Pickering Lawn Bowling Club, bowled during the Oshawa Gold Cup hosted at the Northview Community Centre. Photo by Chris Tanouye Pickering’s Kaylin Ferguson to play soccer at UBC Okanagan KELOWNA, B.C. — Pickering’s Kaylin Fergu- son has signed on to play for the UBC Okana- gan Heat women’s soccer team next fall. Joining coach Claire Paterson’s 2015 recruitment class, the five-foot-five Ferguson is a dynamic player expected to bring some offensive punch in the midfield and at the forward position. “Kaylin came very highly recommended from her high school varsity coach and after getting to see her play, I can understand why,” said Paterson of the newest addition to a squad entering its second tour in Canada West. “She is a quick, explosive player with good technical ability and a composed fin- isher inside the 18. I am glad she has decided to stay in Canada and venture out west.” Ferguson, a graduate of Dunbarton High School, played for several club teams over the years. Most recently she has made a name on the Ajax FC ’96 Red team, playing a year up. The crafty recruit brings an impressive resume that includes the 2013 NEWSS GU17 Showcase white xhampionship, and the 2010 West Niagara internation- al championship, picking up a finals showing at the Ontario Cup the same year. The year 2014 was the big- gest year yet for Ferguson, who appeared at the Umbro Top Rated Showcase in Toronto for a second straight year, picked up championships at the Dunbar- ton Early Bird and LOSSA Sr. girls’ competi- tions, and wrapped up with a silver medal at the OFSAA AAAA girls’ championships. While not competing on the pitch, she is also a coach and skills trainer for younger groups in the Ajax FC. Hoping to post even bigger years while in a Heat uniform, the current captain of the Dunbarton team will be looked to bring some offensive zing for a young Canada West squad needing to find ways to beat the defences of their more senior competition. “I know university soccer is going to be hard work but I am ready for the challenge and eager to become a contributing member of the team,” Ferguson said, reflecting on her thoughts on transitioning to CIS level soc- cer. Add in a move across the coun- try, and it is a brand new adven- ture. “I am looking forward to play- ing the game and growing as a person during my future years at [UBC Okanagan]. I am extremely excited about my decision.” Ferguson intends to enroll in an arts degree pursuing psychology or english, with aspira- tions for an education degree as well. Ajax Wanderers host family day Aug. 8 AJAX — The Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club will be holding its annual family day and pig roast on Saturday, Aug. 8.

Kaylin Ferguson Durham Attack Black Venom right in the mix at U.S. nationals Under-15 volleyball team finished fifth in Columbus, Ohio COLUMBUS — The Durham Attack Black Venom under-15 team had one of the best showings ever for a Canadian team at the USA national volleyball championships, finishing fifth in the junior boys’ division. The team reached the prestigious tour- nament by winning the Rochester Can-Am Bid Qualifier Invitational earlier in the year, earning the right to compete against the best teams south of the border over a gruel- ling four days. After winning two of three matches on the opening day, Black Venom managed to finish second in its pool and stay in medal contention. On day two of the tournament, Canada Day, the competition was more difficult and the Durham Attack team lost two of its three matches, including to a powerful Cal- ifornia team, the Manhattan Beach Volley- ball Club, that was seeded second and fea- tured two U.S. national champion players. Although Black Venom finished third in the pool on the second day, they were the benefactors of the tournament format and seeding system and stayed in medal con- tention, but the next day the schedule was even tougher. After losing to the 949 Volleyball Club from California, Attack faced a must-win situation against the Houston Volleyball Academy and rose to the challenge with a three-set win (26-24, 17-25, 15-9), moving to an afternoon tie-breaker pool for the last two remaining spots for the gold bracket (the top eight teams for the next day’s play- offs). Again, with their backs to the wall, the local boys responded by beating HP St. Louis and Rochester Pace Bootleggers in convincing two-set wins to reach the sin- gle-elimination playoffs. In the quarter-finals, Black Venom faced a rematch against Manhattan Beach, but despite handing their opponents their first set loss of the tournament and leading the third set 10-5 at one point, fell 19-25, 25-15, 12-15 to finish up fifth overall. Justin Lui was named to the tourna- ment all-star team for his outstanding play. Other team members are Liam Cameron, Jaylen Franklin, Adriano Galbiati, Mathew Ganzhorn, Vincent Lam, Matthew Lee, Hayden Marsh-Collis, Trystan Morris-Fra- ser, Isaac Northcott, Shaine O’Keefe and Erik Wotten. Coaches are Ray Lee and Mike Richardson. Between September 2014, when the sea- son started, and the USA nationals, the Black Venom boys competed in 13 tourna- ments, practised over 65 times, attended weekly physical training workouts, com- piled a 50-12 match win-loss record in the U15 division, won a second-straight OVA provincial championship title and won a Tier 2 silver at the Canada national cham- pionships. 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 • Au g u s t 6 , 2 0 1 5 27 AP Volunteer Public Members Wanted Under authority of the Health Department,the Regional Municipality of Durham is seeking two voluntary Public Members for the Durham Nuclear Health Committee (DNHC) The DNHC has been meeting for approximately 20 years on Friday afternoons,approximately five times per year.The DNHC acts as a scientific and technical oriented committee primarily focused on nuclear emissions,nuclear waste and other related topics by providing a forum for discussing and addressing potential radiation and environmental human health impacts.The committee meets with nuclear industry representatives who connect directly with environmental human health experts and members of the public from the nuclear host communities and elsewhere in Durham Region.
