Today, 747,000 Canadians are living with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. This num- ber is expected to increase to 1.4 million by end of 2031, according to Alzheimer Society of Canada (ASC). Annual costs of dementia will increase from $33 billion today to $293 billion by 2040 says ASC, posing an over- whelming threat to the country’s health-care system and economy. Mimi Lowi-Young, the CEO of ASC, is pushing for a national dementia strategy that will prevent persons living with dementia and their caregivers from being pulled into the undertow of this wave. She calls dementia a “non-partisan issue and health priority” and has asked the main political parties to include a national dementia strategy in their platforms leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election. ASC also just launched its ‘Raise your Voice’ civic engagement campaign to encourage those affected by dementia to speak to candidates about why a national strategy is so critical. With just under a month to go until voting day, the NDP have pledged to invest $40 million over four years in a Canada-wide strategy, focusing on screening, diagnosis, support and research. The Green Party, through its National Seniors Strategy, has also committed to a national plan for dementia - though no funding details have been announced. Currently, Canada is the only G7 coun- try without a national plan in place. Earlier this year, a single vote could have changed that. On May 6, Nickel Belt MP Claude Grav- elle tabled private member’s Bill C-356 Respecting a National Strategy for Demen- tia. The bill was defeated in a vote of 140 to 139 in the House of Commons after Lib- eral MP Yvonne Jones failed to stand up and register her vote. “It was heartbreaking to see we lost this very important strategy because one Liberal MP was not paying attention,” Gravelle said. The deciding vote could have also come from Conservative MP Joe Preston who initially voted in favour, but then changed his vote to a nay. Gravelle was inspired to champion a strategy after watching his mother battle Alzheimer’s disease until her death in 2003. Though she voted against Gravelle’s bill, in Octo- ber 2014 Health Minister Rona Ambrose announced $31.5 million in funding for Alzheimer’s research and committed to working toward a national strategy to fight the “impending loom” of dementia. THE 2015 FEDERAL BUDGET includes a commitment to continue supporting innovation in health care and dementia research. The government proposes to provide up to $42 million over five years to Toronto’s Baycrest Health Sciences to support the establishment of the Cana- dian THE IMPENDING WAVE by LAURA DASILVA Mobilizing policymakers and stakeholders ‘critical’ to addressing in ux of dementia cases among seniors SENIORS + DEMENTIA +������� A METROLAND MEDIA SERIES A METROLAND MEDIA INVESTIGATIVE SERIES Photo/ALLEN AGOSTINO Mimi Lowi-Young, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Canada. 1 Increasing investment in research, fostering collaboration and improving knowledge exchange and translation. 2 Providing a surveillance system and evidence-based information on all aspects of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias to inform best practices. 3 Enhancing the competency and capacity of those delivering dementia care. 4 Increasing awareness about dementia risk factors, early diagnosis and timely interventions. 5 Strengthening the integration and co-ordination of care and service delivery across the health-care continuum. 6 Recognizing family caregiver needs and developing supports that provide options and flexibility. objectives for a national strategy on dementia6According to Mimi Lowi-Young, Alzheimer Society of Can- ada CEO, key objectives of a national dementia strategy should include: To learn more, visit www.alzheimer.ca+ >>>WORKING, page 10 PART 1 OF 3 PICKERINGNews Adver tiser NDP continues to maintain its lead in Durham poll DURHAM -- Another week and another com- manding lead has been recorded by Thomas Mulcair’s NDP in our weekly online poll.

Anea Satar was formally charged Satur- day, Sept. 19 after being arrested the previ- ous day. Durham Regional Police said the accused knew 80-year-old John Murray, whose body was discovered at a house on Memory Lane in Pickering Sept. 1. Police said the victim had obvious signs of trauma. His death was later ruled a homicide. Mr. Murray was Durham’s third homicide of the year. Mr. Murray lived on Everton Street, less than a kilometre away from the Memory Lane house. Residents described him as a “nice, peaceful man.” Mr. Murray was a widower who was often seen walking in the neighbourhood, res- idents said. He was known to hand out pamphlets espousing Christianity, resi- dents said. Ms. Satar remains in custody. She is a resident of the home in which Mr. Mur- ray was found deceased, police have con- firmed. Police are asking anyone with informa- tion to call Det. Moore at 579-1520 ext. 5326 or Det. Dennis at 579-1520 Ext. 5402. PICKERING -- Durham Regional Police Identification officers were at the scene of a murder on Memory Lane earlier this month.

On Sept. 16, at around 10:45 p.m., Durham police say a 22-year-old woman was walking along Whites Road north of Kingston Road when she was approached by an unknown male suspect. The suspect engaged her in conversation and then grabbed her in an attempt to rob her of her cellphone. A passing motorist, seeing the female in distress, con- fronted the suspect, who then released the female, returned the cellphone, and fled. Police officers responding to the incident found the suspect and arrested him without incident. The victim suffered minor injuries that did not require medical attention. Rhoimein Khan, 50, of Blackburn Crescent in Ajax, is charged with robbery. He was later released on an undertaking with conditions. Investigators wish to speak to the Good Samaritan motorist, who is described as a male in his 20s, driving a black pickup truck. Anyone with new information is asked to call Det. Const. Hancock of the Major Crime Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5341. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca.

I’m afraid that our Canadian summer is on its way out. Costco has snowsuits on sale, Tim Horton’s stores across the country are receiving their ship- ments of Pumpkin Spice Latte powder, and the aisles of Walmart are filled with binders, pencil crayons and Frozen backpacks. Yes, the kids are back in school. This season, in addition to the perennial paren- tal nightmare of having to prepare lunches that your child will actually eat, many parents have a whole new set of worries. From what I can understand, some parents are concerned that the revised health education curriculum will somehow inflict damage upon their children. From what I’ve read, one of the issues is that pro- viding information to children about homosexuality or masturbation will somehow result in those children becoming gay, and/or constantly touching them- selves, or something along those lines. Not sure how that conclusion was drawn. When I went to public school many years ago, I learned many things. And even though I learned about those things, I did not become those things. I am not a dinosaur, a mitochondria, Einstein or Picasso. I did not evolve into the periodic table of ele- ments, an algebraic equation, or Greensleeves. I am also, unfortunately, not Marie Curie, Robert Frost or Terry Fox. I also did not earn a PhD in human sexual- ity, but I’m pretty sure that learning about homosexu- ality or gender fluidity will not, in any way, compel you to become gay or question your gender. In fact, I’m pretty sure that the only result of learning about homosexuality and gender identity issues is that you will become a better person by understanding that not everyone is the same. So, send them off with their sharpened pencils, their lunch bags, iPhones and whatever else is on the school supply list. And know that our kids are way more equipped to deal with the world than we give them credit for. And then go get yourself a pumpkin spice latte -- it’s been a long summer, and you’ve earned it. -- Sharon Berman is a Whitby parent who tries to help her kids navigate the rough waters of life without drowning. Sharon Berman Guest column New curriculum Foreign aid my election issue To the editor: I know many readers may already be bored of the election campaign; this sad- dens me. The lead-up to an election is an exciting time in democracy and one we shouldn’t take for granted. As a global citizen, I see myself (and your readers) as having two responsibilities during this time. The first is to exercise our privilege to vote. This includes research- ing party platforms, interacting with polit- ical candidates, and then actually showing up to vote. The second global responsibility I believe we have is to ensure that Canada’s new government protects those who need our protection. For myself, this is asking questions about foreign policy and aid, and ensuring that the party and candidate I vote for has a strong commitment to end- ing global poverty. Some 1.4 billion people worldwide live on less than $1.75/day and Canada should be taking a leadership role in reducing those numbers. My vote is up for grabs for the party who makes the strongest commitment in this area. Christine Smith National seniors’ strategy needed now The good news is that governments are aware of a looming crisis with age-related dementia. The bad news is that individuals suffering from its effects will far outpace programs currently availabe in Canada. Today’s numbers of those currently suf- fering dementia, including Alzheimer’s, are staggering. Today, 747,000 Canadians are living with dementia, a number that is expected to nearly double in the next 16 years to 1.4 million. The annual costs asso- ciated with treating Canadians will increase from $33 billion today to $293 billion by 2040, says the Alzheimer Society of Canada. These are the statistics, the cold, hard numbers that confront Canadians and incoming governments. But behind them are heart-breaking stories about real peo- ple, real families, being hurt by gaps in care, waiting lists, unfunded research initiatives and more. As a consequence, the Alzheimer Society is calling for a national strategy to address dementia (a vote on implementing such a strategy was defeated by one vote in the House of Commons in May of this year) and provide Canadians with an equal stan- dard of care that is available, for instance, to dementia sufferers in Port Perry and in Coquitlam, B.C. The federal Conservatives included $42 million over five years for research in their last budget, in addition to $31.5 million provided in 2014. Overall, according to sta- tistics, the government has invested more than $860 million for neuroscience research since 2006, $182 million of which was allot- ed for prevention, diagnosis and care of dementia. But in the absence of a national strategy that establishes care standards and sets out what Canadians can expect from health providers, research funding that might discover new methods of treatment won’t necessarily translate into improve- ments in care. A wave of age-related health issues is crest- ing in Canada and threatens to become a tsunami unless governments act decisively. Working with the provinces, Canada must join its G-7 partner countries and introduce a national strategy to deal with the effects of age-related dementia and health care. The numbers behind this emerging health-care crisis are immense and repre- sent a call to action. It will require the lead- ership of the federal government, partner- ships with provincial governments, the input of health-care and senior-advocacy organizations, and the public. But it is an issue that must be addressed. As it relates to aging Canadians, time is truly of the essence. A little hazy on the whole hazing thing I recently read with interest the story of a hockey coach and general manager who was punished for allowing his play- ers to partake in some particularly brutal hazing activities with rookie players. All I could do was shake my head. I’ve never understood the practice of hazing. For the same reasons I’ve never under- stood ‘forced bonding’. You either bond or you don’t. You get along with the guys on your team or you don’t. It just hap- pens ... or it doesn’t. And there are more than enough ‘naturally occurring’ tri- als of character out there without having to resort to ritualistic hijinks to sort the wheat from the chaff. As gosh darn fun as it may be to make someone strip and humiliate them, homoerotic rituals do nothing but boost cricket bat sales and help a few closeted individuals come to grips with their latent sexuality. Besides, in sport, the real haz- ing ... that is, the tests and challenges that knit a team together, which most clear- ly illustrate character or the lack of it ... almost always occur on the playing field. I remember, as a scrawny, 110-pound defensive end, in my first game of high school football, being scared half to death of screwing up and desperately wanting to be accepted at the same time. Mid- way through the game, on a critical play, I tackled a much bigger player in their backfield for a loss of yardage. When I was finally pulled out of the dog pile on top of me, I was joyously slapped on the helmet and instantly ‘one of the guys’. I was in. That’s how quickly it can happen and, as far as I’m concerned, how it should happen. Even an hour of goofy, pick-up shinny will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about some of the other guys in the locker room. The thing is, we don’t haze each other in the rest of society. When a baby is born into a family we don’t make it do a keg stand to let it know it’s one of us. When the new kid arrives in our kind- gergarten class we don’t take turns rub- bing his face in the finger paint as a gruel- ling welcome to PS 41. If there’s another couple Kathryn and I are interested in getting to know bet- ter, we don’t invite them over for dinner, blindfold them and make them gag on raw liver to see if they’re the kind of folks we’ll hit it off with. We don’t paddle someone’s bare back- side as a prelude to playing Pictionary. As fun as that might be, there are other, less intrusive icebreakers. A cocktail for instance, with a little Sinatra playing in the background. Maybe a nice cheese tray? It’s tasty, a good conversation starter and it doesn’t leave marks. Hazing also seems to be a uniquely and embarrassingly male thing. I’ve never heard of women forcing other women to get almost unconsciously inebriated, strip naked and embarrass themselves ... and if anyone out there has, can you kindly for- ward me the information on when and where these groups gather? Perhaps a website? All in the interests of good, hard journalism you understand. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 APDurham police issued more than 1,000 tickets in a back-to-school traffic blitz for speeding, distracted driving and other violations.

STAYING ABREAST: An initiative by the Dur- ham Region health department to raise aware- ness about public breastfeeding sparked a lively conversation about the practice last week, most of which was in favour. Here’s a sample of what people were talking about: Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer For some, pedestrian safety is an abstract concept.8% More frequent enforcement is clearly required. 25% This happens every year at this time.15% All of the above.52% The InBox With the new school underway, a new CIBC poll finds that more than half of post- secondary students tapped their parents for financial support while at school last year because they ran out of money. Key findings of the poll include: • 51 per cent of parents with children pur- suing a post-secondary education say their children have asked for financial support or assistance last school year. • 86 per cent of parents believe they are good role models when it comes to financial planning. The poll results show that overrunning a budget is common with students from all financial backgrounds: Students from families with a household income of less than $75,000 had a simi- lar lack of budgeting skills (52 per cent asked for money) as those from families with above-average household income of more than $125,000 (48 per cent asked for money). CIBC offers advice on how to successfully manage personal finances away from home: • Distinguish between needs and wants: If your funds are limited, make sure you fully cover necessary expenses first and prioritize your non-essential expenses. •Draw a budget: Itemize your month- ly expenses and add your total monthly income. This will provide you with a clear picture of where your money is going. • Manage your cash flow: Simply said, you cannot spend more than you have. • Borrow responsibly: A credit card isn’t free money and you should charge only what you can afford to pay back. Source: CIBC Jo Sorrill: Breastfeeding a child anywhere should be as natural as breathing in and out. The real rea- son women have breasts in the first place is to feed our young. When women’s breasts stop being ‘glorified’ for sexual reasons (mostly by men) this issue will no longer exist. And in case you haven’t noticed, most are dis- creet when it comes to breast feeding in public. Victor Simon Assivero: As a guy, I do not breastfeed but I also do not feel any aversion to seeing someone do so. It is a natural part of bringing up a new life. Changing diapers on restaurant tables, hell no. Feeding your child anywhere, everywhere? Have at it. Kimberly McCrossin: I personally don’t disagree with breastfeeding. I also don’t agree with people say- ing you should cover your child. We don’t eat in the dark our children shouldn’t have too either. That being said I also think that breastfeeding can be done in a private manor while still in public. Breastfeeding isn’t an excuse to disregard self respect and dignity. Chris Bain: I have no problem with it. It doesn’t affect me. It is what’s best for the child, and if a woman is comfortable doing it in public, all the power to her. Witnessed it many times, no big deal. Anybody still bothered by this needs to find a hobby or something. Raja Kasturiarachchi: Babies don’t have lunch breaks and refreshment breaks. It is their right to be fed when they are hungry. Nothing wrong. If someone is looking at this with a wrong attitude it is his indecency. Mother is the most respected person on earth. Respect mothers! 1. For the nutrients and protection. 2. It builds brain power 3. It’s convenient and portable. 4. Size doesn’t matter. 5. It benefits mothers too. 6.

Since 2006, the government has invested more than $860 million in support of neuroscience research, allotting $182 million for the pre- vention, diagnosis and care of dementia. However, Lowi-Young said more needs to be done. A national strategy would ensure someone living in Northern Ontar- io would receive the same kind of service as someone in Vancouver, B.C. She said objectives of the nation- al strategy should include more investment and focus in research, better integration, co-ordination and accessibility of primary, com- munity and home-care across the country, improved training of health-care workers and better supports for family caregivers. The ASC has requested a total of $150 million over five years to create and fund the Canadian Alzheimer’s Disease and Demen- tia Partnership, which would bring together researchers, Alzheimer societies and federal and provin- cial governments to develop and implement a Canada-wide plan. “We need to take these objectives and make them real,” Lowi-Young said. “We need to prepare now. We can’t wait for the future.” ONTARIO IS A LARGE PIECE of this national puzzle. In five years, the province expects to see a 22.5 per cent jump in dementia cases, bringing the total number of pro- vincial cases to 255,000, according to the Alzheimer Society of Ontar- io. Efforts are underway that may help diffuse the province’s demen- tia time bomb. In November 2014, Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health Min- ister Eric Hoskins mandated Indi- ra Naidoo-Harris, the Halton MPP and parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Health and Long Term Care, to develop a comprehensive Ontario dementia strategy. “It’s critical we start planning for our future today. It’s going to involve research, supports for caregivers and care part- ners, but it’s also going to involve educating peo- ple,” Naidoo-Harris said in an inter- view. Her mandate includes champion- ing more research and innovation to better understand the disease, supporting the implementation of 25 new memory clinics across Ontario (designed for early demen- tia detection and prevention), and working across levels of govern- ment and agencies to identify ways to expand supports to family care- givers. The politician watched her father-in-law battle Alzheimer’s and calls it an “extremely painful and emotionally draining” experi- ence. “It was very hard for our family to sit by and watch one of the smart- est men that we knew slowly lose the ability to speak and express himself,” she said. An adviso- ry board of more than 30 experts has been formed to bring together key stakeholders from Alzheimer societies, the Ontario Long Term Care Association, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and community care access centres, among others. David Harvey, chief of public pol- icy and programs initiative for the Alzheimer Society of Ontario, is part of that board and said it is criti- cal to have people at the table who are experiencing dementia first- hand. “Our focus has been developing a strategy that enables persons liv- ing with dementia to have a voice in articulating what their needs are and what the solutions might be moving forward,” he said. The Ontario Dementia Advisory Group (ODAG) consists of people living with dementia whose motto is “nothing about us without us.” They have been working with Nai- doo-Harris on the Ontario strategy and will help government create policies and procedures through first-hand perspectives. ODAG member Bea Kraayenhof is a retired nurse who has been liv- ing with Alzheimer’s disease for 15 years. She said dementia should not be politicized and that Ontario needs to prepare for the “tsu- nami” by implementing a set of rules for long-term care homes and health-care agencies to fol- low. “The people in government As The Canadian population ages, we are seeing a growth in the country’s dementia problem. In 2011, 747,000 Canadians were living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias - that’s 14.9 per cent of Canadians 65 and older. Here are some stats that show how the dementia burden on Canadian society will begin to accelerate: By 2031: If nothing changes, 1.4 million people will have dementia in Canada - a 47 per cent increase from 2011 levels. Today, the combined direct (medical) and indirect (lost earnings) costs of dementia total $33 billion per year. By 2040: That’s expected to climb to $293 billion a year, if Canada maintains its current path. In 2011, family caregivers spent in excess of 444 million unpaid hours looking after someone with cognitive impairment, including dementia. This figure represents $11 billion in lost income and 227,760 full-time equivalent employees in the workforce. By 2040: Family caregivers could spend 1.2 billion unpaid hours per year.

In 2007, she gave her mother, Betty, the option to move into a retirement home or to live with her in her Newmarket home. Betty chose the latter. Verwey watched her mother’s early signs of dementia progress to the point where Betty no longer recognized her daughter. Betty became blind and was later diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2012, Verwey retired early from her job with the Canadian Red Cross to stay home and take care of Betty. The local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) provided 12 hours per week of personal support worker (PSW) help. She had a front row seat to gaps in the home care system, and noticed inconsistencies in PSWs’ implementation of her mother’s daily exercise routine, a critical component to her physical and mental health. “The family caregivers need some sort of respite,” she said. “They have to trust that the support worker they’re leaving their loved one with is going to do the right thing.” She believes students in college PSW programs need more time in the classroom and doing clini- cal work. “The PSWs take a four-month course, then they have a short practical part where they work in a long-term care home,” she said. She said an occasional evaluation of PSWs’ skills, attitude and work ethic needs to be implemented. According to Verwey, an overhaul of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is needed: “Fund- ing, tools and resources from the government should be allocated to families who are keeping their family member at home.” Betty died in January 2014 at the age of 94.

During a forum on business issues host- ed by the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, Liberal, New Democratic Party and Green candidates said they were opposed, while a Conservative candidate said a study now underway should be completed before a decision is made. Candidates from Pickering-Uxbridge, and Ajax ridings took part in the event in front of an audience of about 100 people at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club on Friday, Sept. 18. Jennifer O’Connell, the Liberal candidate in Pickering-Uxbridge, said she’s opposed. “The Conservatives are talking out of both sides of their mouth. The business case doesn’t exist. We need to move on. Stop strangling Pickering,” Ms. O’Connell noted. Pamela Downward, the NDP candidate in Pickering-Uxbridge, said the possibil- ity of jobs being created is intriguing, but noted, “The business case isn’t clear. We have to invest in infrastructure rather than build an airport.” Pearson hasn’t reached capacity and another runway could be added there to handle growth, she said. “The needs assessment hasn’t shown we need an airport,” Ms. Downward noted, adding the land is Class 1 farmland and should be used to grow food. Corneliu Chisu, the Conservative candi- date in Pickering-Uxbridge, said a decision has to be made. “There’s been 43 years of inactivity. It has cost taxpayers $200 million.” He noted former Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology president Gary Polonsky has been retained to conduct an assessment. “I have full confidence in his ability. He will assess the land. If necessary, we may have an airport.” Anthony Navarro, the Green Party can- didate in Pickering-Uxbridge Riding, said an “airport of any size isn’t necessary. The Green Party is opposed to this wipe-out. We need action on local infrastructure before thinking about an airport. We need infrastructure to deal with the local econo- my.” On the issue of helping businesses sus- tain growth, Chris Alexander, the Conser- vative candidate in the new riding of Ajax, said, “Canada and Canadian businesses have achieved amazing results in the last few years. Canada has the best job growth in the G7 since 2009.” Canadians “don’t aspire to go back to the bad old days of high debt,” he added. He added Canada has the “most compet- itive business tax rate in the world.” Mr. Navarro, said, “I definitely agree we have a lot of achievements. It proves we are the country of business. There’s much more work we have to do.” Helping small business is important, as they are “the biggest incubators of jobs,” he noted. More innovation would also help the economy, he added. Mark Holland, the Liberal candidate in Ajax Riding, said, “The reality is growth is anemic.” “You can’t have a science-based econ- omy if you don’t believe in science,” he added. He touted the Liberal plan to invest in infrastructure. “We’re falling behind. If you can’t move goods and people, you can’t grow.” Stephanie Brown, the NDP candidate in Ajax, said, “In the past 10 years, there’s been an increase in government funding for innovation, but it’s gone to corpora- tions without conditions attached. We’ve seen jobs shifted overseas.” An NDP government would introduce an innovation tax credit, she said. “This tax credit is essential to creating a modern economy. It would reward those who create jobs.” Other questions focused on the cost of pensions and transportation infrastructure and planning.

Up for Debate Durham is part of a nation- al campaign to address women’s inequal- ity leading up to the federal election on Oct. 19. Locally, three major women’s advocacy groups representing more than 30 organiza- tions across the region have joined together to raise awareness about important issues affecting women in the community. Several candidates from various parties and ridings across Durham will be partici- pating in the forum, including Celina Cae- sar-Chavannes (Liberal), Ryan Kelly (NDP) and Craig Cameron (Green Party) in Whitby, Mary Fowler (NDP) in Oshawa, Stephanie Brown (NDP) in Ajax, Pamela Downward (NDP) and Jennifer O-Connell (Liberal) in Pickering/Uxbridge, and Corinna Traill (Lib- eral) and Stacey Leadbetter (Green Party) in Durham riding. The forum will be moderated by Oshawa Regional and City Councillor Nancy Dia- mond. Issues affecting women being dis- cussed at the forum include violence, lead- ership, education, employment, the pay gap, and sexual harassment. It will take place on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Abilities Centre, 55 Gordon St., Whitby.

Submitted photo Durham holding hazardous, e-waste collection DURHAM -- A hazardous and electronic waste dropoff is being held in Oshawa on Sat- urday, Sept. 26. Residents can drop off municipal hazardous or special waste and waste electric and elec- tronics equipment free of charge in the park- ing lot at Lakeview Park, at the foot of Simcoe Street from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine. By disposing of the items at the special dropoff, residents are preventing toxic materi- als from getting into the environment. Examples of MHSW include antifreeze, single-use and rechargeable batteries, brake fluid, motor oil and filters, fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, pesticides, herbicides, fer- tilizers, insecticides, medications, sharps (in a secure, rigid container), pressurized tanks (propane, oxygen, helium or other gases), pool chemicals, paints, stains and solvents. Commercial, institutional, agricultural or industrial waste isn’t permitted. Acceptable electronic items include cell phones, audio and video players, VCRs and DVD players, stereos and receivers, computer peripherals, printing devices, televisions, per- sonal digital assistants and pagers, cameras and radios, telephones, desktop computers, monitors, camcorders and portable comput- ers. Residents are reminded to erase hard drives and SIM cards in order to delete personal information before bringing their electronics for recycling. Through the Region’s Mercury Recovery program, residents will be given one free dig- ital thermometer in exchange for old mercu- ry-containing devices such as thermometers, thermostats, barometers, hydrometers and blood-pressure monitors. Only household items will be accepted for exchange and a limit of one thermometer per day, per vehicle applies. Residents who drop off MHSW at this event can also pick up a free gallon of recycled paint (one per vehicle). Quantities are limit- ed and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents are also encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item, to be donated to a local food bank. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 3 , 2 0 1 5 16 AP ALREADY DRIVING A NISSAN?

Weekly collection will continue until the end of November or the first week of December, depending on the collection area. Residents should check their collection calendars, go to www.durham.ca/waste (select When is my collection day?) or download the Durham Region waste app to see their schedule. The changes are taking place in all com- munities except Whitby and Oshawa. In those two communities, leaf and yard waste is collected by the municipality, not Durham Region. Whitby and Oshawa residents should check with their munic- ipalities regarding the collection. About 70 per cent of all leaf and yard waste is collected in the fall. During the summer, the collection is done every other week because of lower volumes. The waste should be in kraft paper bags or clearly labelled rigid open-top reus- able containers. Yard waste set out in plastic bags will not be collected. Brush should be tied.

Durham’s first bladder cancer awareness walk organized by survivor Durham resident Randy Smith and his daughter Shelby co-chaired the event to spread the word about the disease Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- When Randy Smith noticed blood in his urine two years ago, he didn’t think much of it. The Whitby resident says he assumed it was from an infection or maybe a sports injury. So when he walked into a doctor’s office shortly after, he wasn’t expecting to leave with a diagnosis of early stage bladder cancer. “I’d never heard of it, I had no idea,” says Mr. Smith, 56. “It was a complete shock to me.” Most people he spoke to at the time were just as much in the dark as he was about the disease, he explains, effec- tively limiting his support network. “There was really no one to talk to. I was looking for support and stuff like that but there wasn’t really much around, so I turned to Bladder Cancer Canada.” Established in 2009, the national charity works to help bladder cancer patients cope with day-to-day challenges, increase public awareness, and generate research funds for treatment and elimination. “They have support groups and discussion forums, and they’ve got a medical advisory board that can help with second opinions and things like that so I was able to talk to somebody in a similar situation,” says Mr. Smith. With his cancer now in remission, he’s reaching out to others struggling to find support. As patient support co- ordinator with Bladder Cancer Canada, he’s the first point of contact for anyone who calls in to the organization. “I find out what they’re going through and how we can help support them, and then I match them up with some- one that’s been in their shoes (who) can call them and answer their questions,” he says. Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Can- ada -- the fourth most common among men and 12th most common among women. This year, an estimated 8,300 people in Canada will be diagnosed with bladder cancer. “Not many people know about it and yet the thing about it is, if it’s caught early, it’s very treatable,” says Mr. Smith. “So, the mission of Bladder Cancer Canada is to create awareness about the disease: if you see red, see a doctor.” To help spread the word about the illness in their own community, Mr. Smith and his daughter have organized Durham’s first five-kilometre awareness walk for blad- der cancer this weekend. Shelby Smith, 19, came up with the idea to hold a local event after she participated in the Toronto walk with her father last year. So far, they’ve raised more than $10,000 in donations. “It’s a disease that needs to be brought out into the open,” says Mr. Smith, adding they hope to make it an annual event. “It’s so important to create awareness -- that’s why we’re doing the walk.” The inaugural Durham Region Bladder Cancer Aware- ness Walk will be held on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Heber Down Conservation Area, 500 Lyndebrook Rd., Whitby. Registration starts at 10 a.m. Food and bever- ages will be provided by community sponsor, Metro. For more information or to make a donation, visit www.blad- dercancercanada.org.

The death of Mary Elizabeth Forbes at Hillsdale Terraces in Oshawa could have been prevented had staff taken adequate measures to ensure her safety, the state- ment of claim, filed in July, alleges. Ms. Forbes’s 10 children are named as plain- tiffs in the suit, which seeks general dam- ages of $1 million, as well as unspecified special damages and costs. The family is pursuing the claim under the Family Law Act, citing the loss of “care, guidance and companionship of their late mother”. Both Fairview Lodge and Hillsdale Ter- races are owned and operated by Dur- ham Region. A request for comment from the Region of Durham was not responded to. Rosemary Forbes Dufresne, one of Ms. Forbes’s daughters listed as a plaintiff, declined further comment on the suit when contacted Sept. 19. But in an ear- lier letter to durhamregion.com, she explained her mother was one of 192 resi- dents evacuated after a devastating fire at Whitby’s Fairview Lodge in October 2014. Ms. Forbes was transferred to Hillsdale Terraces in Oshawa, the family says. Mary Forbes died April 21, 2015 when she became trapped in the railing of her bed, the family claims. The family alleges there was inadequate staffing and safety measures in place for Ms. Forbes at Hills- dale Terraces. “From no back up plan with the fire, to substandard portable bed alarms, to staff stretched thin ... this was a perfect storm of horrible, preventable events,” Ms. Dufresne wrote. The family’s statement of claim, filed in Oshawa, makes several allegations of negligence, including citing a failure by Ms. Forbes’s caregivers to provide her with an accessible and functioning call bell, or motion sensors that would have alerted staff in the event she went into distress. The suit also alleges staff was improperly trained and failed to ade- quately perform its duties. Allegations made in the statement of claim have not been proven in court. No trial date for the matter has been set. The Region has yet to file a statement of defence. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 3 , 2 0 1 5 20 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Panthers get some help from unlikely source Goalie Graham Schropp leads team to win over Burlington Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Graham Schropp has another puck to add to the collection of souvenirs he has gathered through his years of playing goal. Although this one isn’t to commemorate a shutout or MVP designation in a minor hockey game with the Ajax-Pickering Raid- ers. In his first start in a game that mattered at the junior level, Schropp turned aside 26 of 28 shots, leading the Pickering Panthers to a 5-2 home ice victory over the Burlington Cougars in Ontario Junior Hockey League play on Sunday, Sept. 20 at the Pickering Recreation Complex. He was presented with the game puck after by his teammates, signifying his first junior game, and win. “I was fired up when I heard I was start- ing,” he said after the game, still wearing a smile of satisfaction. “I just tried to keep it the same as every game. I know most of the boys, so it felt just like another game.” Schropp was pressed into service when Mathew Woroniuk was summoned to the North Bay Battalion of the Ontario Hock- ey League, and Paul Giusti was serving the second of a two-game suspension he received at the conclusion of a Sept. 13 game against Lindsay. Familiar with most of the players who were on the Raiders midget team last sea- son, and a coaching staff that was with the club as well before being elevated to the Panthers, helped ease any nerves Schropp might have experienced if the circum- stances were different. “I wasn’t scared of messing up. If it was a new coach, I would have been scared to mess up. With these coaches, it helped with my confidence,” said the 17 year old from Ajax, who is in Grade 12 at Blyth Academy in Whitby. Schropp kept Burlington shooters off the scoresheet for the opening 28 minutes of the game, allowing the Panthers to build a 3-0 lead on goals by Owen Scuralli, Marco Azzano and John Hudgin. The first shot to beat Schropp came on a wrister from just inside the blue-line on the power play in the second period, but was quickly erased as the Panthers scored a power-play goal of their own, Kyler Challis finding the back of the net on a shot from the point. Burl- ington got to Schropp a second time in the period, with just 17 seconds left, a shot through a screen getting past, cutting the Panthers lead to 4-2 heading into the third. But that was it. Chris Sekelyk finished the scoring with an empty netter with just nine seconds left in the game. “He looked calm,” said head coach Matt Carroll in describing the play of Schropp. “It was calming as a coach. I didn’t have to worry about what was in net for us. He showed up and played and you are going to get that from him night in and night out.” It was the second win of the weekend for the Panthers, who doubled Stouffville 6-3 on home ice Friday, Sept. 18. Owen Scural- li scored twice, with one each to Andrew Hughes, Blake Coffey, Hudgin and Challis. The pair of wins evened the Panthers record at 2-2 this season, following losses of 5-4 and 3-0 on the opening weekend of the season Sept. 11-13. “It could have easily happened the first weekend too,” said Carroll of winning two straight. “I thought our team deserved it in the first weekend and we earned it this weekend.” “The guys worked hard in practice all week and they had two good games. It can go either way any night in this league it seems like. Any team can win any night and you have to be ready to play.” Team play important at Governor’s Showcase games Panthers face Oakville and Milton at annual event Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com BUFFALO, NEW YORK — The winning streak is over, but the Pickering Panthers have an unbeaten streak from which to build on now. In Buffalo, New York for the Gover- nor’s Showcase on Tuesday, Sept. 22 for an early 10:30 a.m. game, the Pan- thers fell in overtime 5-4 to the Oakville Blades. Oakville’s Ryan Garvey scored his second goal of the game 2:33 into a four- on-four overtime format to break the tie. The Panthers got two goals each from Kennedy Duguid and Chris Seke- lyk, each tallying one of those on the power play. The Panthers led 1-0 after the first and 3-2 heading into the third period. Sekelyk’s second of the game, this one on the power play, with 10:30 to go in the third period gave the Panthers a 4-3 lead, but Oakville tied it just 1:16 later with a power-play goal of their own. The Panthers were outshot in the game 35-23, dropping to 2-2-0-1 on the season. The showcase features all 22 teams in the Ontario Junior Hockey League playing over a three-day period in front of countless scouts and universities recruiters. With games counting in the standings, it’s important to come away with some points, which can be a hard message for coaches to send when so much is at stake for players to show their individual talent. “The best way to showcase yourself is not to go out and play outside of your game. Just do what you do,” said Carroll of the message delivered to his team. “Team success will bring individual suc- cess. “It’s two games and it’s too bad these guys only get to see two games, because if they watched a kid all year, I’m sure they would love him by the end of it.” The Panthers will be back in Buffalo on Thursday, Sept. 24 to face the Milton Icehawks at 4 p.m. PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers head coach Matt Carroll talked to his players during Ontario Junior Hockey League action at the Pickering Rcreation Complex.

So the new coach of the Ontario Hockey League club sure wasn’t about to change his tune after the Generals dropped the final two, by decisive margins of 4-0 to Niagara Sept. 18 and 5-1 to Hamilton the next night in Ajax. “I’m not too concerned about the scores in exhibition games to be honest,” Jones said Tuesday, after spending Monday in league meetings. “We had a lot of young guys in the lineup that have to learn how to play and I would say in the last two games without having as many veterans in the lineup you could see there were multiple errors being made, offensively and defensively,” he added. “That’s what happens to young guys in our league.” In a season that was pegged to be one of rebuilding in any case, following a Memo- rial Cup win in May, the Generals were also dealing with the absence of six players away at NHL camps and one other veteran, Sam Harding, who was injured in the loss to Niagara. While failing to get any of their 30 shots past IceDogs goalie Stephen Dhillon, the Generals surrendered two power-play goals and one into an empty net in St. Catharines. Playing before a crowd of about 500 at the Ajax Community Centre on Saturday, Kenny Huether scored the only goal of the first period, his team-leading fourth of the pre-season, on the power play. The Hamilton Bulldogs, relocated from Belleville this season, took control of the game from there, scoring twice in the sec- ond period and three times in the third. Port Perry’s Jake Bricknell led the way with a goal and assist and also managed a ‘Gor- die Howe hat trick’ by fighting Generals defenceman Stephen Templeton. “It was obvious that they need some work and that’s why we have another week of practice leading into the league schedule,” Jones said in summarizing the two games. With the regular season set to start on Fri- day, Sept. 25 in Guelph, the Generals will await news on those at pro camps. But, as of Tuesday, only defenceman Ste- phen Desrocher had been sent back, by the Toronto Maple Leafs, while goalie Ken Appleby (New Jersey), defenceman Mitch- ell Vande Sompel (New York Islanders) and forwards Matt Mistele (Los Angeles), Anthony Cirelli (Tampa Bay) and Michael Dal Colle (Islanders) remained. Although it’s likely the Generals will get all of them back, Jones isn’t holding his breath and recognizes Dal Colle could get an extended look. “I’ve been in the league too long to think that they’re going to get sent back,” said Jones, who had spent the past eight seasons in Windsor. “Until I see these guys with my own eyes, I’m not going to guesstimate when the pro teams are going to release them because things can change, they have injuries up there, they have guys who get sick, there’s all kinds of things.” Vande Sompel, who led the Generals’ blue-line with 12 goals and 63 points in 58 games last season, won’t be available to the team even after he’s sent back, as he’s out week-to-week with an upper body injury, Jones said. “Obviously I understand the importance that he brings,” said Jones. “He played heavy minutes for the Memorial Cup champion team, so the loss of him is huge back here. He’s a top-4 defenceman in this league, on any team. He’s an offensive play- er and probably had an opportunity to lead the defence in scoring this year if he played a full season. So, yeah, he’s a huge loss back there for us.” Harding is “banged up” and considered day-to-day, Jones added. After Friday’s opener in Guelph, the Gen- erals will be in Hamilton Saturday before hosting the North Bay Battalion for the home opener, Sunday, Sept. 27 at 6:05 p.m. at the General Motors Centre.

Finding a venue that meets all of your needs without breaking your budget doesn’t have to be a challenge. By considering these aspects for each venue you’ll be ahead of the game! Food & Services ere are so many questions to ask when looking for the perfect venue: What does the venue o er?; How involved is the venue with the coordination of your day?; Does the venue stand behind the food and service that they advertise?; Is a menu tasting included with your booking?; Will you be able to sample the choices and make changes or substitutions to the menu?; How are dietary restrictions handled? Be sure to ask for referrals from people who have tried the food and witnessed the service rst-hand. e most honest review will come from someone who has attended, or even hosted, a wedding at that location. e Ajax Convention Centre has an outstanding reputation for top notch service and delectable food. eir in-house team of chefs create personalized menus all the time and are fully equipped to accommodate dietary restrictions of all kinds! A menu tasting is included with each wedding package and guests are always amazed by the menu choices and the quality of food. Cost When looking at a reception venue be sure to ask what is included in the price quoted and what extra charges may pop up on your bill. Some venues charge extra for cutting the cake and chair covers. You may also want to ask if there is a time of year or day of the week that is o ered at a discounted rate. Remember to nd out if the HST and gratuity fees are already included in the package price or if they are additional? Be very aware of that a price per person that does not already include the tax and gratuity will be a much higher cost per person than advertised – usually 25% to 30% more. If you’re shopping for venues based solely on the costs involved make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Wedding packages o ered by the Ajax Convention Centre are all-inclusive – which means tax and gratuities are included in the price. Also included in the advertised price is the room rental, cake cutting, chair covers, the complete open bar, hors d’oeuvres, late night bu et and many other features. ere are no hidden fees and the list of available upgrades is short because so much is already included in each package. Seasonal discounts are also available. Location ings to be aware of when choosing a venue include: Is the venue easily accessible to your guests?; Are there nearby hotel amenities for both out of town guests as well as local guests?; Does the location allow for an onsite ceremony to cut the travel time down for your guests?; Is parking included or is it an additional fee?; Does the venue include maps for your invitations?; Is the venue accessible to cabs or driving services? The Ajax Convention Centre is conveniently located right o highway 401 at the Salem Road exit. Within the same parking lot, there is a Hilton Garden Inn and a Homewood Suites by Hilton – two fabulous hotels – to make travel arrangements simple and a safe night possible for everyone.

DINESH RAMDIALOwner/DJ 416•731•6772 info@corporatevibrations.cawww.corporatevibrations.ca Walk down the aisle in style Find the perfect dress without the stress. Check out these three tips on nding the perfect wedding gown. It’s okay to do a bit of ground work, but try not to spend hours online looking at dresses. “ e majority of brides come in thinking they want one thing and end up buying something unexpected,” says Joanna Carter, owner of Bridal Desires. “O en a dress you nd online may be extremely hard to track down in person. If you are able to nd it there may be a detail you don’t like up close or the t may not be as you had hoped. Keep an open mind by trusting your consultant, they have been trained to not only listen to what you would like but to know what style will t you best.” Order your dress to t the size you are now. A common question bridal consultants are asked is “what size should I order if I am planning on losing weight?” Planning a wedding can be stressful and losing weight is unpredictable, you can never be sure how much or where you will lose the weight. For most brides it makes sense to order the size you are now as it is easier and less expensive to take a dress in than to let it out. Go with your gut. Having opinions can be very helpful, however at the end of the day, only you know what you feel truly yourself in. When you feel comfortable you will feel con dent and beautiful. And always remember to just have fun! Don’t miss the fashion shows at 12:30pm and 3pm at the Ajax Wedding Show where you’ll nd all the latest styles and colours brought to you by Bridal Desires.
