It was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.” One boy, 12, died shortly after the Friday night crash. His brother died in hospital Sunday, police have con- firmed. Two adults, a man and woman travelling in a separate vehicle, also died at the scene, according to the OPP.

Media reports named the adults as Carl and Jackie Laws from Pickering. Tuesday morn- ing a group of people, some hugging and weeping, were gathered on the front lawn of the Laws residence on Moorelands Crescent in south Pickering. They declined comment and asked for privacy. The crash took place around 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2 on the westbound lanes of the highway, just east of Lakeridge Road in Whitby. A total of 20 vehicles were involved in the accident, including three commer- cial transport trucks, leading to a complete closure of the highway in both directions between Brock Street and Salem Road for more than 12 hours. Provincial police say a transport truck failed to notice traffic slowing down for con- struction and slammed into other vehicles, setting off a chain reaction of crashes. The driver of the transport truck involved in the collision was not injured, say police. The investigation continues and there’s no word yet about potential charges in the deadly crash. OPP officers as well as Durham paramed- ics and firefighters from Whitby and Ajax worked to secure the scene and remove those injured as a result of the collision. Five people were rushed to hospital with criti- cal injuries -- three via air ambulance -- and another 11 people were injured and taken to hospital. “You have to switch into work mode; you have to separate from the emotions you want to feel when you see something like that happen,” said Sgt. Schmidt of the mindset of first-responders. “It’s a really emotional experience and you do what you can to sup- press your emotions until the work is done.” There were 15 Durham paramedics called to the scene, trying to save those injured in the Friday night crash. Most of those same paramedics were scheduled to work the next night as well. However schedules were rear- ranged so the paramedics who had attended the tragic crash could attend a defusing ses- sion at the Whitby fire hall. “Some required the night (off) because they weren’t in a good mental place to work. Some asked for the time to attend the session and then got back to work,” said Troy Chese- boro, deputy chief of the Region of Durham Paramedic Services. “Everybody’s different. Some people need some time. Some people want to get back on the proverbial horse.” Defusing sessions are held whenever there is a traumatic event. There were three held over the weekend after the crash. A leader or facilitator helped those involved in the scene talk about what they saw and how it impact- ed them. For paramedics, who fought and failed to keep a crash victim alive, it can help with self-doubt. “You sit there and think ‘Oh maybe if I’d done this differently,” said Dept. Chief Che- seboro. “It’s nice to have a group of your peers say ‘Hey what you did wasn’t wrong. I would have done the exact same thing.’” He added paramedics used to rely on senior paramedics to get them through trau- matic events. Since the late 1990s the defus- ing sessions have become a way to include everyone at the scene -- from paramedics, to firefighters to Salvation Army workers -- who might have been impacted by a tragic event. The sessions are voluntary and Dur- ham paramedics don’t have to attend. At least half of the paramedics who responded to the highway accident did attend a defus- ing meeting. Often, explained Sgt. Schmidt, some time has to pass before the impact of such an acci- dent can be felt. “They’ll start to realize the scope of what happened that night,” he said. “It’s some- thing they’ll never forget. It’s something that will effect them forever.” Post-traumatic stress disorder and its affect on first-responders has come into sharp focus after weekend media reports indicated that eight of the 15 paramedics dispatched to a deadly crash in Vaughn last weekend had to take time off work to recover. In that accident, an alleged impaired driver slammed into a vehicle and killed three chil- dren and their grandfather. “We try not to get emotionally involved, but we’re human, too. We all have families,” said Sgt. Schmidt. “And it’s especially hard when children pass away.” There is a Durham Region critical incident stress support team and counselling offered through the employee assistance program, to help paramedics combat post-traumat- ic stress disorder. Senior paramedics, called superintendents, follow up with workers when they know the team has responded to a grisly scene. However the superinten- dents aren’t always aware of those calls. To improve the support for paramedics, the region is creating a criteria for emergency dispatch to notify superintendents directly when they need to follow up with staff after a tragic call. “Sometimes there is a stigma to reaching out for help in this industry. I think we’re starting to turn that. It can be a very stressful job,” said Dept. Chief Cheseboro. -- With files from Chris Hall and Jeff Mitchell Page 6 - Today’s editorial Fifteen Durham paramedics called to accident scene FIFTEEN from page 1 WHITBY -- The wreckage following a multiple-vehicle collision on Hwy. 401 between Brock Street and Salem Road on Oct. 2.

The home furnishings retailer announced Monday it will open a pick- up and order location in the former Future Shop building at 1650 Victo- ria St. E., allowing customers who have shopped online or at an Ikea store to pick up their products closer to home. “Unlike a store that can take years to open, pickup and order points allow Ikea to expand very quickly into new mar- kets that have been identified as having a huge potential and we have consid- ered Whitby actually, which is a growing hub, as a prime market for expansion for some time,” said Stefan Sjöstrand, presi- dent of Ikea Canada. This is the fourth pickup and order point location for the company. Two oth- ers are currently under construction in Quebec City and London, Ont. and one was announced last month for St. Catha- rines. Ikea has 361 stores in more than 50 countries worldwide, including 12 stores in Canada. “We welcomed 25 mil- lion visitors in those 12 locations last year, which is quite amazing,” said Mr. Sjöstrand, who made the announcement at the Centennial Building in Whitby on Oct. 5. Currently, the closest Ikea stores for Durham residents are located in Etobi- coke, Mississauga, and Burlington. The new pickup and order point loca- tion in Whitby, which is expected to open by next spring, will help reduce delivery times and costs for customers while also providing design ideas and services. It will feature a home furnishing inspira- tion area as well as stations to support customers with their planning process. Customers will also be able to buy ser- vices to support their purchases and sit at a computer station to browse and make online purchases from the Ikea website. 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 • Oc t o b e r 7 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP Ajax &Pickering Locations8SalemRd.South Ajax,ON L1S 7T7 FLYERS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 7,2015 Carrier of the Week Congratulations Celeste for being our Carrier of the Week. *DELIVERED TO SELECTED HOUSEHOLDS ONLY All inserts can be recycled with your newspapers through your blue box program.

Accused Anesa Zalena Satar faced previous charges of attacking man with scissors, court documents show Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Days before he was murdered, a Pickering senior pledged $10,000 bail for the woman now accused of kill- ing him, court documents indi- cate. John P. Murray of Everton Street signed off Aug. 28 as a surety for Anesa Zalena Satar, who is now in custody on a sec- ond-degree murder charge, the documents indicate. Mr. Mur- ray, 80, was found dead inside Ms. Satar’s Memory Lane home Sept. 1. Documents on file at the courthouse in Oshawa reveal Ms. Satar, 46, was fac- ing charg- es including assault with a weapon, assault caus- ing bodi- ly harm and weapons pos- session, relat- ing to an inci- dent April 17, 2015 in Pickering. It’s alleged she used scissors in an attack on a man, according to an indictment attached to the file. The file indicates that Ms. Satar was accused of assault- ing the same man in Septem- ber 2014; in February 2015 it’s alleged she committed mischief by willfully damaging two vehi- cles belonging to the man, the record indicates. Ms. Satar was released in late August after Mr. Murray signed on as surety and pledged $10,000 bail. Terms of her release required her to reside with Mr. Murray and to adhere to a curfew between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. She was ordered not to communicate with the alleged victim of the assaults, or wit- nesses named in that investi- gation. She was also prohibited from possessing weapons. On Sept. 1, officers respond- ing to a call at a home on Mem- ory Lane shortly after 8 p.m. found Mr. Murray dead. An autopsy confirmed he’d been murdered. Ms. Satar was arrested on a charge of second-degree mur- der Sept. 18. She is a resident of the home in which Mr. Mur- ray’s body was found, Durham police confirmed. The incident came as a shock to residents of the neighbour- hood, some of whom described Mr. Murray as a long-time resi- dent of the area. He was often seen walk- ing in the neighbourhood and stopped frequently to talk with residents, sometimes handing out pamphlets with a Christian theme. Mr. Murray was described as a kindly and “peaceful” man by residents. Ms. Satar remains in custo- dy. She is scheduled to make a court appearance by video later this month.

Open liquor was found near the driver’s seat of the bus, which slammed into the back of an SUV after the DRT driver pulled into the curb lane to make a stop on Kingston Road at about 4:30 p.m. Sept. 30, Durham police said. Neither of the drivers or any of the 14 passengers on the bus was injured, police said. The bus driv- er was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and taken to a police sta- tion.

Most weeks I enjoy a brief visit pay my respects to family and friends as I pass through town. Surrounded by fields and trees, this well-cared-for historic ceme- tery has always been a place to reflect and remember cherished memories. I was confronted a few months ago by a large development sign directly across from the entrance and shocked at the thoughtlessness of the City of Pickering to allow it to dominate this tranquil place. Why couldn’t the sign have been erect- ed at another location? This community has been my home for more than 40 years and I have watched this area struggle to maintain its distinct heritage. I think respect needs to be paid to those who built this heritage town, fought to maintain its integrity and are now resting nearby. As a weekly visitor to the cemetery and resident of the city I deserve an unob- structed view of the beauty that sur- rounds the Whitevale cemetery for a little longer. Ann E. Ward Life is short, keep it positive Schizophrenia can be frustrating and scary. Most days I have to give my mind a quick check as I have my morning cof- fee, just to see where I am mentally. I’d say most of us should do this, regardless of your condition. Other than what I was describing last time, I like to be positive and full of humour about everything I encoun- ter. It’s hard to have a brave face and keep smiling every day but if everyone did it every single day, the world would be a lot easier to bear. Instead of a “breaking the stigma” movement, how about a “grain of salt” movement or a “smile and laugh in spite of” movement. We all are only here for a short time so wasting our precious time with insults, rudeness and being hateful is only detri- mental. When I wake up I am filled with the joy it takes to face every day. I also like to use the word enthusiasm when I face chal- lenges. While facing mental health adver- sity is better when you can create a posi- tive, humour-filled environment, there are a lot more coping mechanisms to put in your arsenal. Compliance, self-help research, forgive- ness, spirituality, religious views, being easy on your self and talking about your problems to someone you have built trust with. All of this is easy to write, say and talk about as everyone’s battle is different but all of it is the truth. Leaving you with a positive message is all I want to be about. If you can take something good, a moral, out of every day you are alive (like Doogie Howser, MD) then you have an edge on facing the next one. You will find that your energy will shift when you manifest a smile and see the ugliness of the world with a little bit of an angelic spin. It’s a delicate thing this planet and all of its systems that we have to cope with. Change comes from within, this is not a new concept. Get out there and enjoy your world. -- Brandon Hahn lives in Northumberland. Colin Hahn Guest Column Reducing stigma Saluting Durham’s first responders Emergency first responders are called upon to do their jobs in the most extreme circumstances, often involving death or injury. In the worst-case scenario, some of those calls involve children whose young lives are taken, or irrevocably altered. Last Friday’s crash on the westbound lanes of Hwy. 401 in Whitby represent- ed one of those worst-case scenarios for the men and women of Durham Region’s emergency services who answer the call day in and day out. First responders in Durham arrived at a chaotic scene Friday night. Vehicles smashed beyond recognition. Four lives lost, including those of 10- and 12-year-old brothers. Several victims with critical inju- ries, still more requiring hospitalization. Ontario Provincial Police Sergeant Kerry Schmidt referred to it as an “incredible scene” and “one of the worst I’ve ever seen.” As the carnage relates to first respond- ers, this is the second time in as many weeks that Durham paramedics, fire and police officials have confronted death and destruction on Hwy. 401, and the third incident in as many weeks. Several York Region first responders were so affect- ed by the alleged drunk driving incident in Vaughan that killed a grandfather and three grandchildren on Sept. 27 they suf- fered effects from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. As Sgt. Schmidt noted in connection with the multi-vehicle crash in Durham on Fri- day, emergency responders must set aside their emotions and feelings when dealing with such scenes. But many of them, like many of us, are mothers and fathers, broth- ers and sisters, sons and daughters. The full weight and impact of such incidents can and often do intrude long after they have attended a scene, and can have nega- tive health and emotional effects. So, even as we grieve the deaths of four more innocent people, as we must, let us also take a moment and silently salute those first responders. Let us call for use of all the support and resources available to assist them in coping with this tragedy and the many others to which they are exposed. Let us acknowledge their vitally important role in our communities and recognize the extremely difficult job they do in Durham Region, 365 days a year. The investigation will continue, conclu- sions will be drawn and charges possibly laid in connection with last Friday’s crash. In the meantime, however, let’s keep a warm thought for the people who show up to work after the worst has happened. Tattoo me? From time to time, I’ll admit, I have flirt- ed with the idea of getting a tattoo. They fascinate me and I enjoy ponder- ing the thought of what thing, name, phi- losophy or image might be so important to me that I would want to permanently ink it onto my body. Although, truth be told, beyond per- haps a bacon sandwich, a picture of Bar- ney Fife or the names of my children, that one’s a bit of a stumper. To that end though, I am eternally inquisitive regarding the reasons others might have for their particular body art. I’m forever querying servers, salespeople or anyone I come into contact with who has a bit of ink poking out somewhere, as to why that? What does that image mean? Why is it important to you? The answers, unsurprisingly, are as var- ied, sublime and ridiculous as the illustra- tions and the people wearing them: The young woman with the favourite flower of her departed mother over her heart. The compass on the forearm of the teen- ager with wanderlust, urging him to heed his desire for travel. And, of course, the moron who awoke with a pounding hang- over and a life-sized portrait of Bea Arthur on his back. To each his own, I suppose. As trendy and ubiquitous as tattoos have become, it’s easy to dismiss them out of hand -- or buttocks, back or sleeve -- as an expensive and oft-regretted fad, but humans have been marking their skin with images for just about as long as there have been humans to ink. And when you get right down to it, for pretty much the same reasons. The world we live in moves at such breakneck speed and pulls us in so many directions that we can end up feeling a lit- tle unmoored. It’s no surprise, then, that most of us still have a need to feel that we come from something, that we are connect- ed to a family, clan or tribe. That we are part of a greater, more ancient whole. And so we permanently mark ourselves with reminders of those connections. A family coat of arms, sigil or motto. At the same time, ironically, we desper- ately want to be seen as unique, different and special. And so we permanently mark ourselves with something that we believe is a shin- ing talisman of our individuality: “Hey, I’m Vic. Talking to me may be like watch- ing paint dry, but I have a ’69 Camaro on my butt cheek.” As I say, to each his own. This is all good fun and were it not for that pesky ‘per- manent’ thing, I’m sure I would’ve cov- ered myself in tats by now. I’m no para- gon of self-esteem and I’ve certainly had my share of days where a butt Cama- ro might’ve made me feel better about myself. As it is, I’m left wondering whether it’s an abundance of sagacity or a lack of courage that keeps me from getting inked. After all, a bad haircut choice grows out, poor fashion sense can always be altered and, if I wish, I can actually drive a real ’69 Camaro or trade it in for something cool- er. But Bea Arthur, man...that’s forever. -- 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 APThe Toronto Blue Jays captured the American League East Championship last week.

ANOTHER PROTEST: Opponents of Ontario’s new sex-education curriculum took issue with being denied a permit at a park in Ajax so they could stage a protest, with some suggesting it was a biased decision. Town officials in Ajax, how- ever, point out that no permits are issued for the group’s park of choice.

Seventy per cent of disability costs are related to mental illness. Mental Health Works offers these practical tips. Employers, managers, supervisors • Look for Signs: Sudden behaviour changes, consistent late arrivals/absences, decreased productivity, making excuses for missed deadlines/poor work, and dis- plays of anger/defensiveness may indicate a potential mental health issue. • Talk About It: Arrange to meet an employ- ee to raise concern and offer help. Find out what resources – such as Employee Assis- tance Programs or community services – may be available. • Build Comfort: You want to minimize stress, not contribute to it. Talk about how the employee is valued before raising con- cern. Think about an individual’s strong points and contributions they’ve made. Be honest, upfront professional and caring. Employees • Talk to your doctor: One in five people will experience a mental health problem this year but only a third will seek help. • Connect with a professional: Combin- ing professional counselling with medical treatment is generally more effective than only doing one or the other. • Reach out to those you trust: Tell a family member, friend, or co-worker exactly what you need. It may be simply to listen. • Live well: Making conscious choices to lead a healthier lifestyle – especially when you don’t feel like it – can boost your mood. Source: Canadian Mental Health Association Derrick Webber: So much mis- information by yet again, parents who have not read the curriculum. Too much too young? Encourages kids to experiment? Bordering on pornography? Nope. They have not read a single page of the curriculum? ...One protester said it is a slog of information that he was unable to read. Umm- mmm it was not that difficult of a read at all. They also don’t get that you need a permit to protest on government property. No permit. No protest. Andrea Griffin: Wouldn’t this open a whole can of worms for the kids protesting? Do they understand what they are protesting? Times are changing. The world is scary; it’s about time it’s taught in school. They should also add stress management, coping skills and life skills as mandatory education. Leah Hippolyte: I believe that if a parent wants to “opt out” ... it should be allowed. I never took it as a child when it was offered and I learned about sex and relationships from my mom. I know that as my kids go to school they will never be allowed to take this class.

A CONSERVATION INITIATIVE OF Duffins Creek near Beverley Morgan Park Saturday,October 17th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm River Trail parking lot off of Valley Farm Road (north of FinchAve.) 905 420 4660 ext 2043 Site: Duffins Creek near Beverley Morgan Park Date/Time: Saturday, October 17 th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm Meeting Location: River Trail parking lot off of Valley Farm Road (north of Finch Ave.) Contact: 905 420 4660 ext 2043 T his was supposed to be their time. With their son o to university and successful careers behind them, Bruce Rhodes and his wife, Liz, both , had expected these would be the years to reap the rewards of a full life together. Instead, they are battling a disease together, one they both, at times, believe is worse than death. “Ohhh, I am an idiot!” said Liz as she hops up and down in their sunny Richmond Hill kitchen. “My brain is broken,” she smacks her hands against her head, letting out a long, keening wail. Bruce pays no mind to her bizarre behaviour, grateful she is no longer talk- ing about hating herself and wanting to die. “We were so perfectly matched,” said Bruce, a retired software developer. “We were intellectually compatible and I trusted her completely.” Now, due to dementia, their world has shrunk, travel and social gatherings long past. Bruce spends his time trying to keep Liz safe, fed, bathed and properly medi- cated, struggling not to turn to booze or bash a hole in the wall in frustration. Liz, who was an author and univer- sity professor before frontaltemporal dementia began destroying her brain, now lives in her own private world of confusion, battling his e orts to care for her, struggling to escape. He can’t leave her alone and they rarely leave home. Outings are chal- lenging and at times embarrassing, said Bruce, with his beloved wife now behaving like an unruly ve year old. “Dementia is vicious, just vicious,” he said. It can be a lonely existence for the caregiver who must bear the burden of day-to-day life and for the person with dementia whose increasing confu- sion can leave them housebound and isolated. Research has shown connected people are healthy people, and yet the Alzheimer’s Society survey reports per cent of people with dementia felt lonely and per cent do not feel part of their community. Caregivers reported the same. “It’s a family illness,” said occupa- tional therapist Nira Rittenberg. “It affects the person cognitively and emotionally. Caregiving time is intense.” Rittenberg, co-author of the guide- book Caring for Your Loved One, over- sees a psycho-educational support group. Families make the trek to Baycrest Health Sciences in Toronto seeking her help for a myriad of concerns – from what to do when the patient doesn’t want to attend doctor appointments or asks the same question repeatedly, to issues stirred up between siblings caring for parents. ere is an emotional toll, “losing that personhood is hard for everyone to watch,” along with a physical and nancial one, and it may be why per cent of caregivers end up with their own disorders and issues, she said. e person with dementia, mean- while, nds himself increasingly isolated. In an Alzheimer Disease International survey of more than , people from countries, more than per cent of respondents with dementia said they’ve noticed a negative stigma about the dis- ease, most commonly being discounted or marginalized by others. Chair Dr. Jacob Roy Kuriakose is call- ing for urgent action and said the focus on late-stage dementia and a belief that nothing can be done to help leads to hopelessness and fear of negative reactions. “People start fearing ‘viral dementia,’” Rittenberg said. “It’s not that they think they’ll ‘catch’ it, but they may hide from it because they can’t deal with it, especially if they’re of the same age cohort.” Unlike those with physical challenges, there is no wheelchair or visible indica- tion of a disability. As one patient puts it, “when something’s wrong with your mind, it feels like something is wrong with you.” In the early stages, those with demen- tia may become withdrawn, aware they can’t keep up in social settings, but Maisie Jackson is determined not to let that happen. e Niagara Falls resident said she was devastated to learn she had demen- tia two years ago. “I thought the end had come, my life was over. I didn’t tell anyone.” She worried she would waste away like her mother, aunt and older sister before her, alone in a rocking chair, clutching a baby doll. Instead, she clutches a thick day- book jam-packed with appointments, conferences and meetings at the local Alzheimer’s society. “ e society gave me my life back,” said the former director of sales at Niagara’s Pillar and Post Inn. Her days are busy mentoring others, attending board meetings and giving presentations across the province. She no longer hides her diagnosis. “If I’m having trouble, I just say ‘give me a moment please, I have dementia.’” Communicating with others about the disease has given her life new pur- pose, she said. A NEW APPROACH Jackson has learned life does not end when the diagnosis begins. A slew of promising new programs bolsters that view – from as far away as the Netherlands, where an entire enclosed village was created for demen- tia residents, to the Kawartha town of Bobcaygeon, where blue umbrella logos open doors, and minds, for those expe- riencing cognitive decline. During the summer months, Bobcaygeon is bustling with tourists, cottagers and retirees. It’s also speckled with little blue umbrella decals that let those with dementia know they are welcome. e blue umbrella is a unique project garnering interest across Canada. Designed to combat stigma and pro- mote awareness, the program provides umbrella pins to those with dementia. Window decals are given to busi- nesses trained to help with challenges such as bank machines, crowded spaces and communicating with sta . Nearly of an estimated Bobcaygeon residents with dementia have registered to wear the pins since it was launched last April, said Pat Finkle, the local Alzheimer Society’s former client support co-ordinator. About businesses have joined so far. “We’ve done phenomenally well,” Finkle said. “People are talking about it more and the person with dementia is being talked with more, too, and engaged in the community. e more people who are out wearing that blue umbrella, the more we are changing the perception of what dementia is.” Buoyed by the Bobcaygeon success, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario has decided to expand the program to ve more communities across the province and is seeking funding to help make it grow. A similar program, Dementia Friends, was launched in June through the Alzheimer Society of Canada. The society received . million in federal funding to launch the pro- gram and hopes to encourage one million Canadians sign on to at www.

Police are investigating four incidents in which a woman approached residents seeking directions to the nearest hospi- tal, then offered jewelry as thanks. The gesture is a ruse in which the sus- pect steals valuable rings and necklaces from victims, police said. Four victims are known to have been approached last Saturday, Sept. 26. In each case the scenario was the same: a woman got out of a dark-coloured van, asked for directions, then offered cos- tume jewelry as thanks, Durham police said. At about 10 a.m. a 71-year-old man was targeted behind a Kingston Road Sobeys and half an hour later, the sus- pect approached a woman, 78, at her home on Rushbrook Way; the woman declined the offer of a cheap necklace, police said. Shortly after 3 p.m. a 50-year-old man was approached as he mowed his lawn on Alomar Street in Whitby. The grifter managed to swipe a neck- lace but failed to steal his ring, police said. Just 15 minutes later a 56-year-old was targeted on Stevensgate Drive in Whitby, but nothing was stolen. The female suspect is described of being of Middle Eastern descent. She is between 30 and 50 and has a heavy build. She was with a man and woman, both believed to be of Middle Eastern descent and between 30 and 40. Their vehicle is described as a newer dark Dodge van. Anyone with information or who has been victimized by the scam is asked to call police at 905-579-1520 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Agendas focused on proven voting populations fuel apathy of those not casting a ballot Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Despite a slight uptick in recent elections, experts aren’t hopeful for reversing the long-term downward trend of voter turn- out numbers. Voter turnout country-wide has been fall- ing steadily since 1988, from 75 per cent to a low of 58.8 per cent in the 2008 federal election, although there were slight upticks to pre- vious election turnouts in both 2006 and 2011, at 64.7 and 61.1 per cent, respectively. In Durham the numbers have, for the most part, fallen in line with country-wide aver- ages. The last three federal elections in 2011, 2008 and 2006 have seen voter turnout of 60.8 per cent, 60.6 per cent and 68.1 per cent. Provincial elections have seen slightly lower turnout, at 53 per cent in 2014, 47.6 per cent in 2011 and 52 per cent in 2007. Northumberland has seen rates slightly higher, at 63.6 per cent, 61.4 per cent and 67.4 per cent in the last federal elections, and 55.8 per cent, 51.8 per cent and 54.9 per cent in provincial elections. The numbers are part of a worldwide downward voting trend that has political experts worried. “It’s even broader than a Canadian problem, it’s more a Western prob- lem, a problem with advanced and modern Western democracies,” said Scott Aquanno, a professor in UOIT’s community develop- ment and policy studies program who holds a PhD in political science. “The pattern is mostly a function of young people being less engaged and fueling that lack of engagement throughout their life cycle. We know people between the ages of 18 to 35 are less likely to vote, but we’re also seeing that once they become disengaged, they tend to remain disengaged. It really becomes a habit.” And the pattern has become a self-fulfill- ing cycle, with young voters’ lack of engage- ment resulting in agendas focused on other voting populations, creating a political land- scape that disregards youth and further alien- ates them. “Less than four out of 10 youth aged 18 to 33 are voting, but 75 to 80 per cent of seniors are voting, which means the agen- da gets skewed toward those interests,” Mr. Aquanno explains. “That creates a sort of a lock-in effect as political parties focus on groups that are vot- ing more, and youth become perpetually dis- engaged because politics is not serving their needs, desires or wants, because political parties are not talking to them.” However, it is not only young voters who are to blame. “It’s a very complicated ques- tion and I think it has a lot to do with trust; there’s a lot of complex social and scientific issues involved,” Mr. Aquanno said, noting many voters are turned off by the increasingly negative tones of political campaigns. “There seems to be a link between lack of social trust and declining engagement.” Despite slight increases in the last provin- cial and federal election turnouts, Mr. Aquan- no said he is not hopeful the trend may be reversing. “I wouldn’t put too much stock in those lone upticks, I think the long-term trends are much more revealing,” he said, noting it also depends on the election climate. “In hotly contested elections, people feel their vote makes more of a difference and may be more likely to engage. I wouldn’t be terribly optimistic about long-term trends based on that. For instance the election this year is obviously very close so we might see a bit of a spike because of that.” In Durham he points to hot-button issues such as job creation and transit as potential draws to bring more voters to the polls. “Infrastructure spending and jobs are front and centre in the debates and will serve to bring people in Durham into the conversa- tion,” he said. However, he noted that voting barriers such as lack of engagement need to be addressed long-term to have any meaningful impact on turnout. He suggested programs promoting democracy, civics and politics among young people, both through social media and in schools, to create a culture of engagement and possibly changes to the voting process to make it more accessible and convenient, such as online voting. “We may see a slight uptick here and there but voting turnout faces real systemic bar- riers,” he explained. “Unless we think about those barriers both in Durham Region and wider, across the province and the country, those numbers will continue to fall.” How you voted: Pickering-Scarborough East This riding stayed Liberal red from 2004 through 2011 with Dan McTeague repre- senting voters in Ottawa. In 2011 the riding turned blue as voters chose Conservative Corneliu Chisu. Provincially, voters have stayed with the Lib- eral party, electing representative Wayne Arthurs in 2007, and choosing Liberal again in 2011 and 2014 with Tracy MacCharles. Ajax-Pickering Liberal Mark Holland served the riding in Ottawa from 2004 through 2011, when vot- ers chose Conservative MP Chris Alexander. The provincial riding, created in 2007, has stayed Liberal through its history, with Lib- eral MPP Joe Dickson serving the riding at Queen’s Park from 2007 to present.

Pickering fire crews arrived at a home on Blue Ridge Crescent at 6:10 a.m. on Oct. 1 after a call came in about a small fire that appears to have started in the basement. “The owner put it out and when he was doing so he sustained burns to his hands,” said Fire Chief John Hagg, who could not confirm if the burns were minor or serious. The man was transported to local hospital. There were other occupants in the home and the smoke alarm was work- ing. No one else was injured. While the homeowner managed to put out the fire, crews were on scene to ventilate the home and to ensure the flames didn’t spread. 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 • Oc t o b e r 7 , 2 0 1 5 15 P Residents upset signs meant to deter speeding were stolen Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Some Pickering residents who worry for the safety of their children on their busy street feel the City of Pickering is not helping to solve the problem. “Speeding bothers me,” said Raaf Selim, a 30-year resident of Bowler Drive. “A lot of the time me and my neighbours can’t even get out of the driveway.” Frank Lunn has been watching people run stop signs for 19 years. “I get livid,” he said. Graig Andrews is the father of two young children and fears for their safety. “One time I had someone flipping me the bird as I was slowing down to go into my driveway,” he said. He’s even seen someone hit a green trans- former box before reversing and quickly tak- ing off. The Bowler Drive residents took their con- cerns to City Hall, looking for solutions, but are not satisfied with the results. “I’m disappointed the City that we live in worked so hard to do nothing,” said resident and mother of three young children Chris- tina Dodds, who has been working on this issue for the past year and a half. After residents presented a petition to City council asking for traffic calming measures, the City conducted traffic studies over seven days in the spring in the 40 km/h zone. “Average speeds were 41 so it was pretty compliant,” said Richard Holborn, director of engineering and public works. Residents claim speeds reach 70 km/h and say drivers often go through stop signs. In a June survey, the City asked area resi- dents whether they were in support or in opposition to: temporary speed bumps that would be installed over the summer and removed before the winter; and permanent ‘Road Watch’ pavement markings and sig- nage. The City found 56 per cent of people supported speed bumps and 44 per cent opposed them. Seventy per cent of people needed to support a traffic calming measure in order for it to be considered by staff. Since 77 per cent supported signage and painting and 23 per cent opposed it, the City will go with permanent Road Watch markings, a yellow painted centre line along the entire limit of Bowler and the installation of four additional 40 km/h speed limit signs. The work should be complete by the end of Octo- ber. Residents are skeptical these will work, and would have preferred at least some stop signs. “Even if they don’t stop they’ll certainly slow down,” said long-time resident Michael Hewlett. Ms. Dodds felt the numbers were flawed since at least 70 per cent were in support of speed bumps when she collected surveys herself. According to Mr. Holborn, support for speed bumps by Bowler Drive residents met the 70-per cent target, but the City also con- sults residents on side roads. “It’s community-driven,” he said. Ms. Dodds wished she had been aware of the document ‘Safer Streets Traffic Manage- ment Study’ ahead of time. The City refers to this report when deciding the traffic calming measures that will go onto specific streets, as well as the 70 per cent target. “Had we been armed with all of that infor- mation we would have been more success- ful,” she said. Residents also have issue with the City when it came to ‘Slow - Children at Play’ signs going missing. These featured a sil- houetted young Toronto girl named Georgia Walsh who was killed by a driver in July 2014, and are meant to encourage drivers to slow down. Ms. Dodds ordered 15 signs, which residents then purchased from her to put on their lawns. Four were taken within the first two days and the rest disappeared all at once. “They’re not huge at all,” she said, compar- ing the size to very small election signs. She and others speculated the City’s bylaw department removed them. But in an e-mail, bylaw manager Kim Thompson said while the City did receive two calls complaining about the signs, staff chose to leave them in place. “I have checked with all of my staff and have confirmed no officer removed the signs,” Ms. Thompson said. PICKERING -- Residents Frank Lunn, Graig Andrew and Christina Dodd with her son Marcus, 3, are upset about the speeding issue on Bowler Drive. Recently, some signs erected to implore motorists to slow down have been stolen from the neighbour- hood.

SANDY BEACH PLAZA PICKERING www.sunwinchinesefood.com Driver sentenced to eight years in killing of Durham man Alyshah Hasham newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- For a “brutal, coward- ly attack” on a 27-year-old man, run over and left for dead, Agustin Caru- so pleaded guilty to manslaughter Monday and was sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison. In his decision, Superior Court Justice John McMahon said Mr. Caruso showed a “cold and callous disregard for the life and welfare of Christopher Skinner.” Court heard that, according to the agreed statement of facts, 19-year- old Mr. Caruso was drunk on vodka and high on cocaine when he left a bar in the Entertainment District with five friends in a black Ford Explorer in the early hours of Oct. 18, 2009. Mr. Skinner had left a bar where he’d been celebrating his young- er sister’s birthday and was trying to hail a cab. He asked the people in the car for a ride and when they refused, hit the passenger-side win- dow. The men in the vehicle got out and began to punch and kick Mr. Skinner until he collapsed motion- less in front of the car. The car ran over Mr. Skinner as Mr. Caruso drove away from the scene. For almost four years the case remained unsolved. None of the six people in the car came forward, even as the Skinner family offered rewards for information at annual news conferences on the anniversa- ry of their beloved son’s death. “Not one of the six had the moral decen- cy to come forward and do the right thing,” said Judge McMahon. Then, in 2013, police received a tip from Vancouver from the ex-girl- friend of one of the men in the car, court heard. The tip led to police wiretapping the phones of the main suspects for 35 days, during which time Mr. Caruso discussed ways to destroy cellphone records, fleeing to avoid prosecution and his plan to blame it on the others in the car if he was arrested. Mr. Caruso was also heard discussing witness intimida- tion — a retaliatory assault on one of his friends from the car he believed was talking to police — though, the court heard, he never acted on any of it. It took another two years for Mr. Caruso, charged with second- degree murder in November 2013, to plead guilty to manslaughter. Mr. Caruso admitted he assault- ed Mr. Skinner, though he was too intoxicated to recall the extent of his participation. But he denies deliber- ately driving the car over Mr. Skin- ner. He did know, court heard, that Mr. Skinner’s body was in the vicin- ity of the vehicle and admits he was reckless and impaired as he drove away. Through tears, he apologized to the Skinner family and asked for forgiveness. His family, including his parents, sat behind him in the courtroom and shared long hugs with him during breaks, before he was arrested. After being credited for just over two years of pre-trial custody, he has six years left to serve. The judge ordered that he receive treatment for drug addiction while in prison. He is also banned for driving for 10 years.

Police Girl, 14, injured as rock thrown at van in Pickering, two teens face charges PICKERING -- Two teens are facing charges after a rock was thrown through the window of a vehicle, seriously injuring a passenger, early Sunday in Pickering. A 14-year-old girl was treated at hospital for serious cuts she sustained in the incident, in the area of Finch Avenue and Dixie Road at about 2:45 a.m. Oct. 4, Durham police said. A van being driven by a 48-year- old man had a window shattered by the thrown rock, police said. A second vehicle that was passing by at the same time was also struck and sustained damage to a side-view mir- ror, police said. Two suspects were seen fleeing on foot. Officers located two suspects on Pebblestone Crescent; they were arrest- ed without incident. Two Pickering males, aged 15 and 16, are now charged with mischief and assault with a weapon. The teens, whose identities are pro- tected by law, were released on under- takings. 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 • Oc t o b e r 7 , 2 0 1 5 18 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Jr. Lightning learn some valuable lessons Close games will serve them well going forward Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX — If you find out the most about your team when they are faced with difficult sit- uations, then this past weekend was quite the learning experience for the Durham West Jr. Lightning. Facing a couple of tough opponents, the Lightning mustered just one of four points, but the takeaway from the games will prove valuable as the Provincial Women’s Hockey League season progresses. On Saturday, Oct. 3 the Lightning earned a point after a 1-1 overtime draw against the Toronto Aeros. The following afternoon, in their home opener at the Ajax Communi- ty Centre after four in a row on the road to start the season, the Lightning were edged 2-1 by the Nepean Wildcats. “Two good games against two good teams. We were expecting close games and that’s exactly what we got,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy in summarizing the week- end. “These are great lessons for the players early on in the season. They realize they are never out of games and what it takes to win those types of games at this level, which will help us going forward.” In Toronto, the Lightning fell behind 1-0 early in the second period but tied it up just minutes later on a goal by Lisa Bruno, on assists from Jaden Head and Kirsten Mac- Dougall. The Lightning relied on goalten- der Danika Ranger to preserve the point, as Toronto held a 10-3 shots advantage in the third period and 5-0 in the overtime. “It’s always tough to go in there and get points,” said Murphy of visiting Toronto. “It was our fourth road game in a row to start the season, so to go in there and steal a point, we’ll take that.” In the home opener on Sunday, Oct. 4, the Lightning were scored on once in the first and again late in the third, down 2-0 with just 2:22 remaining in the game. Saman- tha McKenzie scored for the Lightning with goaltender Tera Hofmann pulled in favour of an extra attacker and just 1:44 left on the clock to make it 2-1. The Lightning put on a final push, but couldn’t get the equaliz- er despite outshooting Nepean 14-4 in the third period, 27-21 overall in the game. Nepean remained undefeated on the sea- son with five wins in as many games. “That’s a game that sometimes you play really well and you don’t get the fate you deserve,” said Murphy. “Sometimes you don’t play well and you win, but you don’t like those games.” “There were a lot of positives to take from this one. Especially in the third period, right down to the buzzer. We told the players if there was another 30 seconds in that game, I think we tie it. We got great performances from a lot of players.” The weekend leaves the Lightning with a record of 3-1-1-0 and in third place behind Nepean and Mississauga in the 20 team league. Over Thanksgiving weekend the Light- ning have no games, as selected players attend U18 provincial team training camps in preparation for the Canadian champi- onships. The Lightning have Saroya Tinker and Maria Dominico on Ontario Team Red, while Charlea Pedersen is on Ontario Team Blue.

Benjamin Priebe / Metroland Hockey Pickering Panthers find out why Trenton Golden Hawks are ranked No. 1 in country following lopsided losses PICKERING — Facing the No. 1-ranked junior hockey team in Canada, the Pickering Panthers knew ahead of time what they were up against in the Tren- ton Golden Hawks. Turns out Trenton is worthy of their lofty status in the country. The Panthers fell behind early and couldn’t mount a comeback in a 6-2 loss at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex on Sunday, Oct. 4 in Ontario Junior Hockey League play. Trenton jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first period before Marco Azzano’s second-period goal cut the deficit to 3-1 for the Panthers. Trenton increased the margin to 5-1 just 4:36 into the third, with Kyle Gentles scoring the final goal of the evening for the Pan- thers to make it 5-2. Trenton closed out the scoring with a power-play goal midway through the final period. The loss was the second in a row for the Panthers, who dropped a 7-2 decision to Trenton on Sept. 25. Overall, the Panthers are a respectable 3-4-0-1 on the season. The Panthers will host the Cobourg Cougars on Friday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m., then head to Mississauga to face the Chargers the following day. Off the ice, the Panthers made a roster move, trading 20 year old forward Aidan Parker to the Mississauga Char- gers.

A lapse in concentration cost the Generals a chance of coming back against the London Knights, who scored a crucial fourth goal in a 5-2 win after Brodeur had abandoned the crease thinking Oshawa had tied the game. Anthony Cirelli rang a shot off the cross bar and thought he had scored, as did Brodeur, who skated into the corner while the Knights came down the ice and made it 4-2 when Aaron Berisha put the puck into the empty net with 12:29 remaining. A video review showed Cirelli’s shot hit the post after the cross bar and did not cross the line, and the Knights finished the game off with a true empty-net goal by Mitchell Marner in the final minute. The bottom line was a disappointing but misleading three-goal loss for the Generals before 4,559 fans at the General Motors Cen- tre. “I’ve been in the game a long time and have never seen a play develop like that,” Generals coach Bob Jones said afterward. “It’s a mistake and hopefully it’ll never hap- pen again. “I think all five guys on the ice obviously thought the puck went in, and the goal light went on,” Jones pointed out. “It was just a unique scenario where the play continued and it’s a lesson learned by all of us … Until you hear a whistle, the game is still on.” Brodeur, who turns 19 on Oct. 29 and is in his second season with the Generals, had been nothing short of remarkable heading into the game, with three shutouts in four games, including two in a row at home. With news on Monday that Appleby had signed an entry-level contract with the New Jersey Devils organization, the No. 1 job is now officially Brodeur’s, so the Generals hope and expect he will shake off the bizarre play soon. “I’m not mad at Brodie at all,” said Jones. “I think clearly there was a miscommunication between him and the hockey game just for a split second, but Brodie’s been excellent and I think we can all learn something from it.” The Generals played an otherwise solid game against the Knights, who improved to 2-0-1-1 and are considered one of the top teams in the country this season. Brodeur came into the game with a shut- out string of over two games, including a 3-0 decision over the Peterborough Petes at home two nights earlier, and wasn’t finally beaten until defenceman Aiden Jamieson buried a high shot six minutes into the sec- ond period to tie the game 1-1. The Knights built a lead of 3-1 on two more goals Brodeur had little chance to stop, before the Generals cut the deficit to one on the first career OHL goal by defenceman Daniel Robertson 4:35 into the third period. Had Cirelli’s shot been a fraction of an inch lower or taken a better bounce three min- utes later, the result could have been far dif- ferent. “I thought we played well,” said new cap- tain Michael Dal Colle, who has picked up one assist in each of his first two games since being sent back to junior by the New York Islanders. “Obviously London is one of the better teams in the league if not all of Can- ada, so I thought our battle level was good, but we’ll learn from it.” The Generals (3-2-0-0) have a rare Wednesday game this week, in Kingston Oct. 7 against the Frontenacs (2-1-1-1) to deter- mine first place in the East Division in the early going. The Generals are also in Ottawa Friday against the 67’s (1-3-0-0) and at home on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 12, to face the Guelph Storm (0-3-1-0) at 2:05 p.m. OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals’ Sam Harding and London Knights’ Aiden Jamieson looked on as Knights’ Brandon Crawley and Generals’ Owen McDade struggled to reach the puck.

(Phil) - Born at Tecumseh, Ontario, Feb. 13,1929, died peacefully in hospital at Ajax Ontario, with his family at his side, October 5, 2015, leaving his wife of 62 years, Loretta (nee Ouellette); his children, Randy of Langley B.C., Marc (Marjorie Cluett) of Prince Edward County Ontario, Dan (Carol Rastrick) of Chilliwack B.C., Laurel (Brad Neil) of Ajax Ontario; his grandchildren, Alexandra, Rebecca, Nicholas, Philip, Daniel and Danielle; his brother Roger (Margaret) of Windsor Ontario, and his sister Aline Wanne (Sid) of Bellingham Washington. Phil is predeceased by his father Theodore, his mother Alphonsine (nee Seguin), his brothers Leonard and Jerome, and his sister Antoinette Mailloux. As a kid growing up in Windsor during the Great Depression, Phil often said "...we had steak on the table every night for dinner" and he boasted that they were the first family on the block to get a television when his father won it in a contest in the 1950's. Phil attended Sacre Coeur School in Sudbury and Assumption College in Windsor, before completing his post- secondary studies at the University of Windsor. Phil and Loretta married in 1953, keeping the tradition of "pur laine" alive for one more generation. Phil had a long career with Duplate Auto Glass and PPG Industries, where he managed autoglass plants in Oakville and Windsor before going into sales, and eventually becoming the PPG Europe sales manager based in Paris, France. Asked by one of his grandsons in the weeks before his death if he had any regrets, he replied simply "…a few, but not too many... I have a great wife and four fine children." TRAVAIL SEGUIN, TRAVAIL.
