The campaign was launched Monday with information about quadrivalent flu vaccines, which are also publicly fund- ed this year for children and adolescents from six months up to 17 years of age. Quadrivalent flu vaccines offer protec- tion against an extra B-strain of the flu virus that affects youth more frequently than adults. FLU CASES ON THE RISE IN DURHAM Region launches annual flu shot campaign including information about new vaccine and enhanced protection for youth Pharmacist Sharon Niznik prepared a flu shot for Lovell Drugs for last year’s flu shot program. This year’s campaign launched Oct. 26. This year, there is the injectable vaccine and a nasal vaccine for children and adolescents from six months up to 17 years of age.

Flu- Mist Quadrivalent is available for children and adolescents ages 2-17. The flu vaccine for adults will remain available in an inject- able form, with protection against the three flu viruses most likely to circulate during the flu season. “The typical (flu) season is October until April so we encourage people to get vaccinat- ed as soon as possible,” said Ashley Wilson, public health nurse at the Region of Durham. The flu is a respiratory infection caused by influenza A or B viruses, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. Symptoms typically include the sudden onset of head- ache, chills, cough, fever, loss of appetite, myalgia, fatigue, coryza, sneezing, watery eyes and throat irritation. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also occur, especially in children. Every year, 10 to 20 per cent of Canadi- ans get sick with the flu. While most people recover within a week to 10 days, some -- such as those 65 years of age and older, and adults and children with chronic conditions -- are at higher risk of more severe complica- tions. It’s estimated that upwards of 12,000 Canadians are hospitalized and about 3,500 die as a result of the flu each year. “Even though a lot of us get the flu, I think we sometimes forget that people can have serious complications ... so it’s important for all of us to get the shot,” explained Ms. Wil- son. “(For the) elderly and young children and people with chronic health conditions, it can lead to complications such as pneumonia and in some severe cases, death. So, we’re preventing the spread by getting the flu shot and preventing the illness in ourselves.” Last year was a particularly bad year for the flu in Durham. From Aug. 30, 2014 to Aug. 28, 2015, there were 421 laboratory confirmed flu cases in the region -- up from 317 in the 2013-2014 season. Ms. Wilson attributes the increase to the type of strains that were circulating. Each year the flu vaccine is created in the spring and manufactured in the summer for distribution in the fall. If the virus mutates between spring and fall, it’s less effective. “It’s kind of hard to tell what we’re going to see this year because it changes every year,” she said. “The circu- lating strains are different because the virus unfortunately mutates a lot so it’s too early to tell what’s going to be circulating here until we start getting confirmed cases.” When the flu vaccine is well matched to cir- culating viruses, it can be between 60 to 80 per cent effective, she added. “On average, over the years when you look at it, it’s 50 per cent effective but when you’re looking at how many people are affected by influenza, that’s still a good rate and still important to get (the flu shot).” The flu vaccine will be widely available in Durham through local health care provid- ers, as well as participating pharmacies that will administer the flu shot to those over the age of five. The Region’s health department is not offering community flu shot clinics this year due to decreased attendance numbers in previous years, likely resulting from greater public access to other vaccination providers. According to research conducted by the Neighbourhood Pharmacies Association of Canada for the 2014-2015 season, a growing number of Canadians are opting to receive their flu shot at their local pharmacy due to speed and convenience. Ninety per cent of survey respondents walked in without an appointment and 88 per cent reported wait- ing less than 10 minutes for their vaccination. Seventy-one per cent of respondents said they chose the pharmacy because of its con- venient location. “The success of the pharmacy flu vaccina- tion program has important public health impacts that result in more Canadians being protected against this underestimated dis- ease,” said Denise Carpenter, president and CEO of Neighbourhood Pharmacies.

WHITBY -- Public health nurses Stephanie Lalonde and Ashley Wilson are promoting the flu shot, which is available Oct. 26 at clinics and pharmacies. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland • The flu is a serious respiratory illness that affects 10 to 20 per cent of Canadians every year. An estimated 12,200 Canadians are hospitalized and about 3,500 die as a result of the flu each year. • Individuals who are considered at high risk of complications from the flu include young children, adults over 65, adults in long-term care homes, pregnant women and people with chronic illnesses such as heart, lung, kid- ney, liver, blood or metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, or weakened immune systems. • Laboratory confirmed cases of flu in Durham have increased in recent years. There were 421 cases in the 2014-2015 season, 317 cases in the 2013-2014 season, 250 cases in the 2012-2013 season, and 111 cases in the 2011-2012 season. • The flu spreads easily through coughing, sneezing and direct contact with unwashed hands, surfaces, or objects that have been in contact with the flu virus. Flu germs from sneezes can travel up to six feet, and the flu can live on surfaces for up to eight hours. If infected with the flu, it can be transmitted to others a day before symptoms appear. Indi- viduals with the flu are also contagious for seven days or longer after their symptoms have resolved. • As of Oct. 26, a nasal spray flu vaccine is available for children and youth ages 2-17 as an alternative to an injection in the arm. The spray vaccine will offer greater protection against four flu viruses instead of three. The added protection comes against an additional B-strain of the flu virus, which affects children and adolescents more frequently than adults. Parents still have the option to vaccinate their children using an injection, which is available for children ages six months to 17 and also protects against the same four viruses as the new nasal spray. Confirmed flu cases up in Durham since 2014 CONFIRMED from page 1 HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU Better health care in Durham is in your neighbourhood Canadians are used to thinking of their health-care system as “great,” and many of us are passionately proud of it when we think about other countries. But there are troubling signs that due to our rapidly aging population and rising costs, the current system may not be sustainable. Beyond the baby boomers starting to retire, the approaching “silver tsunami” will see seniors account for 25 per cent of our popu- lation in 2036, compared to just 14 per cent today. Recent months have seen a flurry of new reports and white papers suggesting Canadians would be better served by a new national pharmacare program. Too often, however, these proposals -- many of which raise valuable ideas -- focus primarily on cut- ting drug costs, when the real heart of health care is patients and their access to care. Yes, the costs have to be managed, but focusing first on better patient care and better patient outcomes will help alleviate some of our big- gest health-care delivery challenges. The neighbourhood pharmacy industry’s vision is to ensure that patients are at the cen- tre of everything we do -- including all discus- sions about improving our health-care system. There are about 9,000 neighbourhood pharmacies across Canada providing a grow- ing range of primary care services, closer to where Canadians live, work and play. This flexibility enables patients to deal with minor health issues and prevent them from becom- ing more distressing, more complex and more costly to treat. Pharmacy health-care teams also help patients manage their chronic condi- tions, like diabetes and hypertension, can help you quit smoking and deal with challenges like obesity, nutrition and exercise, which help Canadians live longer, healthier lives. Treating Canadians in neighbourhood pharmacies isn’t a completely new idea, as more than 1.9 million of us now get our annual flu vaccinations there, a number that’s grow- ing because of the speed and convenience. Pharmacy flu vaccinations also attract some patients not vaccinated last season, which shows neighbourhood pharmacy’s ability to deliver important health-care services that benefit the whole population. Pharmacies also help patients get the most from their medications -- by ensuring they are taking the most effective medica- tions for their conditions, helping them take their medications when and how prescribed, guarding against adverse drug reactions and counselling patients taking new medications. Canadians rely on their own insurance and governments to fund most medications, but pharmacies provide the hands-on patient care.

The fleeing vehicle reached speeds of 140 km/h during the pursuit, which ended with a suspect being dragged from a car, Durham police said. The incident began at about 5:20 p.m. Oct. 20 when an officer on patrol in Bowmanville saw a man he recognized as being wanted on a warrant. The offi- cer, who was driving an unmarked cruis- er, followed the Hyundai onto Hwy. 401 and called for other units to assist, police said. Cruisers eventually boxed the car in and forced it to the shoulder of the high- way near Stevenson Road in Oshawa. Even after being stopped a suspect refused to put the car in park, police said. The man was forcibly removed through the passenger side and arrested. Cops seized 13 grams of cocaine and a small quantity of marijuana, valued at about $1,300. Olajuwon Ajibola, 24 of no fixed address, faces charges including failing to stop for police, driving under suspen- sion and drug possession. YOUR CASINOTOUR SPECIALISTS!

Saturday & Sunday FRee!4th Meal Cell tower is in new location at Amberlea Shopping Centre Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Residents are charged up after a cell tower in Pickering was erected without consulting residents or the City of Pickering. But under the rules of the day, Rogers Communications was not required to seek public input before building the tower at the Amberlea Shopping Centre in the summer of 2014. At 14.9 metres, the tower fell just short of the 15-metre threshold that required com- munity consultation under Industry Canada protocol. Both Industry Canada and the City of Pickering have since changed their proto- cols and now require consultation of towers of any height. At its most recent meeting, Pickering coun- cil formally approved the 14.9-metre Rogers Communications cell tower, already built at the Whites Road and Strouds Lane shopping centre. Pickering resident June Wood spoke at an executive committee meeting and said she noticed the construction in the summer of 2014. “Upon making enquiries I was horrified to learn that Rogers was erecting a cell tower for their wireless communications,” she said. Aaron Lazarus, senior director of Rogers public affairs, said Rogers determined the site was the ideal location to maximize cov- erage while having the least impact on resi- dents. “The location of the tower is in a commer- cial plaza well removed from residences and is a thin monopole design that’s intended to help it blend into the community’s back- drop,” he said in an e-mail. The issue was already a controversial one for local residents. In 2011, Rogers had started to construct a cell tower on the Amberlea Presbyteri- an Church property, across the street from Amberlea Shopping Centre, but when the City and residents opposed it, Rogers aban- doned the project. After construction of the new tower began in July 2014 at Amberlea Shopping Centre, the City and residents became alarmed since they were not informed of the project. That August, Industry Canada told Rogers to cease construction and initiate a complete consul- tation process with the City and residents. In early September, the City passed its own pro- tocol on cell towers. Before this, the City didn’t have a protocol in place and according to Industry Canada, it was not required to conduct consultation since the height of the tower is less than 15 metres. “However, after construction was complet- ed, the rules changed and consultation with a larger group was required,” said Mr. Laza- rus. The new Industry Canada protocol now requires companies constructing cell towers less than 15 metres to seek public consulta- tion. Mr. Lazarus said Rogers mailed informa- tion packages about the tower to local resi- dents. “We placed an ad in the Pickering News Advertiser and held a public open house to discuss the site with the community and answer any questions or concerns,” he said. Ms. Wood said the signs advertising the meeting were placed in a way that made them visible only to pedestrians. “Nobody driving a car would have been able to read these signs,” she said. The City received two petitions from the community objecting to the tower with 860 signatures total, and most complaints at the public information meeting were related to health concerns. Ms. Wood is electrohypersensitive and is disappointed council approved the tower. In a letter, she referred to a World Health Organization report that classified radio fre- quency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic and noted countries in Europe and elsewhere are accelerating actions to protect their citizens from this “public health hazard.” “It is alarming to see the erection of this cell tower at Whites Road, right beside a TD Bank, surrounded by local stores, and within a short distance of many homes,” she said. Rogers said cell towers are safe. “Health Canada is responsible for set- ting standards and overseeing the levels of acceptable radio frequencies and all our sites operate well below Health Canada’s thresh- olds,” said Mr. Lazarus. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, elected Oct. 19 as Pickering- Uxbridge MP, called the actions of Rogers “the height of arrogance and disrespect to the community. “This is not how applications should be handled,” she said. Mayor Dave Ryan said he found Rogers’ actions “less than respectful for this munici- pality and of course residents” and said staff was preparing a letter expressing their joint concern. “Having said that, we’re in a tight spot,” he said. He said since the cease and desist order, Rogers has done what’s required of it from the municipality, and City staff did not object to the project. Pickering residents upset over Rogers cell tower Poppy campaign to kick off in Pickering on Oct. 30 PICKERING -- The Royal Canadian Legion is about to start its annual poppy campaign to show respect for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to war and military operations and to raise funds for veterans and commu- nity organizations. Each year, millions of Canadians wear the symbol on their lapels, and the cam- paign officially kicks off the last Friday of October. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 held a special ceremony at Pickering City Hall during the council meeting on Oct. 26. The poppy flag will be raised at Pickering City Hall, One The Esplanade, on Friday, Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. and will remain there until noon on Remembrance Day, on Nov. 11. The local campaign raised nearly $57,000 last year and, this year, Branch 606 hopes to raise $60,000.

I chose to ignore rather than challenge your questionable endorsement of a gov- ernment the majority of Canadian voters never wanted. I cannot, however, ignore your humourless cartoon suggesting Justin Trudeau and/or the Canadian public may not be ready for his taking charge of our nation. It ignores the fact that most of us were never ready for Stephen Harper’s nasty, divisive politics or his disdain for our courts and constitution. Mr. Trudeau was raised by a devoted father who may have been the most pop- ular prime minister this nation has ever seen and like his father Justin has already proven to be both ready and able to inspire, motivate and convince Canadians to renew the move towards a just society – something Mr. Harper was never ready to do. Why on earth are you so determined to question and undermine our desire for and belief in justice and democracy? Randy Gostlin The statistics are nothing to sneeze at: Influenza sends an estimated 12,500 people to hospital every year and about 3,500 die. Those numbers, according to the Pub- lic Health Agency of Canada, are why the annual rollout of seasonal flu vaccines is so vitally important to Canadians. And even though the science behind the development of annual vaccines involves a large measure of guesswork based on which influenza strains are circulat- ing and dominant -- last year’s vaccines turned out to be less effective than hoped -- they remain the best line of defence against contracting the virus. Here at home in Durham we strong- ly encourage residents -- especially the elderly, for whom complications from the flu can be life-threatening -- to make an appointment at one of the annual clinics that are made available, or through their family physician. Influenza is easily spread before symp- toms become apparent and can have dev- astating health consequences. Those who are vaccinated are helping to protect not only themselves, but are pro- viding a measure of protection for their neighbours, family members, co-workers and friends. Many of us will remember the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009 that resulted in 3.5 million infections in Canada, and 428 confirmed deaths. That was followed by the ebola virus scare last year, which raised alarms around the globe. It is in this context that people must consider the importance of inoculations to provide the best protection. Durham residents are more fortunate than citi- zens in many other countries as it relates to surveillance and protection. Canada provides an advanced health care system to serve the populace. It has established protocols with other developed nations for surveillance and monitoring. It can quickly roll out necessary vaccines to pro- vide the best possible protection against infection. But the system won’t work to its poten- tial if individual citizens ignore the risk and choose not to get vaccinated. We ask every eligible resident of Durham to make sure they get their shot, protect them- selves and their loved ones, and minimize exposure of the circulating virus. It doesn’t take long, it doesn’t hurt and it will provide as much protection as possi- ble throughout the flu season in Canada. In the simplest terms, we urge common sense and caution as the days turn colder. Take your shot in Durham. Take a deep breath, Conservatives Never have I heard more doom and gloom about the world coming to an end than from Conservative supporters the day after last Monday’s federal election. If I closed my eyes I could have sworn all those Conservative voters were doing their best Chicken Little impersonations. Canada is doomed, start packing your bags, there will be a brothel on every cor- ner, more Canadians voted against the Lib- erals than for them...on and on the rhetoric went. Even Whitby candidate Pat Perkins took to her Facebook page to say, ‘OMG, look out Canada’, basically telling the vot- ers they made a mistake. I wanted to channel William Shatner from his Saturday Night Live skit and tell all those Debbie Downers to get over it. The world is not coming to an end. The Tories had a nice 10-year run but Canadians wanted a change. After years of Stephen Harper telling us what to do and how to do it, voters wanted a hug, some- one they felt would listen to them instead of scolding them anytime they raised a con- cern. They made a huge mistake making this a 78-day election campaign. It allowed voters time to think about those past 10 years. A shorter campaign would have allowed the Tories to deliver their message about being the keepers of Canada’s pig- gybank. Quick, precise and go vote for fis- cal restraint. The optimism surrounding Justin Trudeau reminds me of when Barack Obama was first elected president in the U.S. The difference here is Trudeau has a majority government while Obama had to fight a Republican congress over every move he made. Trudeau will find he can’t fulfill all his promises, but the world won’t come to an end. We’ll get upset with him, then we’ll go back to having our dinner and laughing with Rick Mercer. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston was proud his sons voted in their first federal election. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Democracy Gone to the land down under My partner’s daughter, Ashley, left for Australia this past Wednesday. Australia. You know? That place on the other side of the earth? That place that is so far away from here the water actually swirls the opposite way down the drain? That place where pretty much everything can kill you, paralyze you or give you a nasty rash? That place. She has gone to live there. Her mother, to put things mildly, is in a bit of a state. Suffice it to say I have hidden all of the prescription drugs and black tar heroin in the house. I am keeping a small medicinal cache of bourbon handy. But that is mostly for me. As the father of two boys whom I abso- lutely dote on, I can only imagine how dif- ficult it would be to witness one of them leave on a one-way trip out of this prov- ince, let alone this hemisphere. I’m still struggling daily with the fact that they no longer live under my roof. You see, that’s the thing they never tell you about raising confident, well-adjust- ed children. They go off and live their own confident, well-adjusted lives. The little bastards. Still, my children are, at least current- ly, only a short car ride away. And even if one of them should pick up and leave for lands unknown, I would still, thankfully, have one of them within meddling range. Not so, poor Kathryn. For most of Ashley’s 29 years it has just been the two of them. They are remark- ably close. In fact I keep looking for the scar on Kathryn’s hip where the two of them were surgically separated. Early in my relationship with Kathryn, I made the mistake of getting in between the two of them once and I was lucky to escape alive. I still wear a hairpiece. Their bond is almost covalent. I’m sure they’re swapping electrons. So yes, this has been a bit of a black arm- band week around our home. The scene at the airport was more akin to a martyr’s funeral than a happy bon voyage moment. Thank goodness I had my pocket Thorazine injector. That stuff is liquid gold. On the upside, this kid is an inspiration. As an individual who has lived most of my life not only in the same country but within 100 short kilometres of the same city, I am in awe of the kind of courage an uprooting like this requires. I, like a lot people, am a creature of habit. A creature of comfort and routine and predictability. None of which, by the way, has ever paved the way for brilliance, enlightenment or inspiration. Watching this wonderful young woman gamefully throwing caution to the wind is, among other things, a bit of a wake-up call for me. I think it was either Thomas Jefferson or Marsha Brady who said that ‘With great risk comes great rewards’. Amen, brother. Nobody ever got to the end of the race and said, ‘I wish I’d trav- elled less’. Ashley may or may not return from the land down under in a year, as she has indicated she will. But whether she stays for six months, six years or a life- time, her life and the lives of all of those her journey has touched will be made big- ger and better for her having done so. Safe journeys, Ash. -- 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 APHalloween is just around the corner!

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD: An Ontario wom- an’s recent experience with her daughter at a skateboard park led to a viral social media item that captured the hearts of Ontarians. The woman had concerns about her child trying to learn among a group of young men using the park, but one of them surprised the woman by spending time with her daughter and helping her to learn. For many, the story reaffirmed their beliefs in the inherent goodness of people.

He gave her pointers and played with her for more than half an hour. She was about 7 and he was about 17 I think. Candice Sedge: I skateboarded when I was young too, and I also had a boy help me! I didn’t know what I was doing, and next thing you know I was jumping curbs and doing tricks. Girls called me poser and other names but I just want- ed to learn, so good job dude! You definitely made a huge difference in her life, and probably made her feel pretty cool too. Mel Lisa: Awesome. My son has come across a few teens who were also kind to him at the skatepark. Glad to hear kindness still exists for some teens. Loraine Taylor: Wonderful story about a wonderful young man who cared and helped another young person. René Garcia Flores: People assume all teens at the park are trouble makers, when in fact a lot of them are big brothers and sisters who know how to be an example to the little ones. Michelle Higgins Ross: Great story; just a reminder all teen age boys aren’t bad. Letter of the Week Reflecting on victory, lauding the defeated To the editor: I have worked in what I call the “back office” of politics for 40 years now – I start- ed young. I have dropped flyers, installed signs, knocked on doors, made phone calls and in the last 12 years, I have been the CFO for many federal election campaigns. Last week’s Liberal victory was great, however it made me think about the defeat of 2011, when my candidate and friend lost. For volunteers working behind the scenes, countless hours are spent on the campaign. You do it because you really believe in your candidate. Some sacrifice a lot during a campaign, taking time off from work and being away from family. At the end, we are all hoping for a victo- ry for the candidate we support. Although the results favoured our candidate and put a huge smile on the faces of the entire campaign team, I am reminded of the 2011 defeat and I empathize with the other “camp” who now feel the pain of the defeat. So on Monday I took a moment to think about them and their hard work and com- mitment of the last two months. Sylvain Trépanier CFO for Mark Holland Campaign Pickering 1. Donald Trump 2.

As their friendship grew they chatted more and more online and he convinced her to send him some explicit images of herself. Then came the twist: he threatened to expose her if she didn’t send more photos. The man turned out to be a 25-year-old guy from Europe. The girl ended up shutting down all her social media accounts in an attempt to get away from him, said Det.-Const. Lockwood. “It’s much more difficult when they’re out of the country,” he said. “The Internet is world- wide, it’s not just Durham Region, so we can’t just go down the street and knock on their door.” Det.-Const. Lockwood says there’s a “pretty even split” between those types of “sextortions” and the type of sexting where photos are shared by friends and lovers. When relationships end, sometimes that’s when trouble begins, continues Det.-Const. Lockwood. It’s not unheard of for an ex-lover to share once-private photos online or, even worse, posting pictures on what is known as “revenge” websites, he said. “That’s still a strong form of harassment, no one wants their most intimate photos on the Internet. That can ruin someone’s life,” said Det.-Const. Lockwood. In an effort to discourage the sharing of pho- tos, the Canadian government ushered in a new law in March 2015 aimed at adults that prohib- its the non-consensual distribution of intimate images. “As soon as someone turned 18, they could be as nasty as they want, circulating images with no consequences at all,” said Dr. Slane of the lawlessness before the new legislation was introduced. Sharing images without permission “is some- thing that needs to be considered universally not a good thing, it’s not just kids,” she said. Chances are, you know someone who has sent or received a sex-themed text. “A lot more people are doing it than they let on. It seems like it’s not necessarily something in the long-term that is considered deviant in some way,” said Dr. Slane. “It seems like our boundaries are shifting and there’s so much more information that is more accessible than ever before.” It’s hard to pin down exactly how many peo- ple are sending sexts. Surveys show that older teens and young adults send the most sexts, said Dr. Slane, explaining the most common theory is that use increases by age. In 2014, a MediaSmarts survey, dubbed ‘Young Canadians in a Wired World’, surveyed 5,436 students across Canada, from Grades 4 to 11. Only the students from Grades 7 to 11 were asked about sexting; the respondents either had their own cellphone or had access to a shared cellphone. The data showed that eight per cent of the stu- dents have sent a sext of themselves to some- one else, with a fairly even split between boys and girls. The survey also backed up Dr. Slane’s theory by finding that older students are more likely to sext: a low of two per cent of students reported sexting in Grade 7, while 15 per cent of students in Grade 11 admitted to sending a racy text. When it comes to receiving a text, almost a quarter (24 per cent) of students reported that someone has sent them a sext of himself or herself. Again, Grade 11 students were more than three times likely than Grade 7 students to receive a sext created by the sender: 11 per cent of Grade 7 students reported receiving one, compared to 36 per cent of Grade 11 students. And, the MediaSmarts survey also showed that boys are significantly more likely than girls to be sent a text: 32 per cent of boys versus 17 per cent of girls. The survey also indicated boys are somewhat more likely than girls to have forwarded a sext sent to them (16 per cent compared to 12 per cent of girls) and sexts of boys are more likely to be forwarded than sexts of girls (26 per cent compared to 20 per cent of girls).

When the subject of an explicit photo or text loses control of whose hands that materi- al ends up in, that’s when the worrying can begin. “Some kids suffer serious psychological con- sequences,” said Dr. Slane. “There are so many ways to get images out there to people, to get personal information out there. It’s easy to deliberately hurt someone.” It’s hard, for example, for a young girl to stop worrying who has seen a photo of her topless once she knows it’s been shared, continued Dr. Slane. “There’s that loss of control and you don’t know who has seen it,” she said. “They feel like they cannot walk down the street without see- ing someone who they think has seen it. They think everyone has seen it and they can’t forge their own ID -- that everyone only sees them naked or in that sex act. “It’s that loss of control and it makes them feel like there’s no other way to think of them- selves.” Sometimes, unfortunately, the victims of online bullying don’t ever feel they can get that control back. In Canada, two young women became the very public face of cyber-bullying after they took their own lives. On one side of the country, in British Colum- bia, Amanda Todd shocked the digital world with a series of flash cards on video in a silent cry for help. A month later, in October 2012, she died by suicide at 15. The reason? She believed her reputation was ruined after an anonymous person online con- vinced her to flash her topless body to him; the photo then went viral, leading to relentless bullying. Less than a year later, a similarly tragic story unfolded on the other side of the country, this time in Nova Scotia. One night, Rehtaeh Parsons joined some high school friends and consumed some vodka before being raped by four boys. At some point that evening, one of those boys took a photo of her being raped and distributed the pictures to members of Rehtaeh’s school and her commu- nity. She was constantly harassed and bullied and she died by suicide at 17. “I can’t imagine the absolute sense of despair they felt,” said Det.-Const. Lockwood of the two girls’ deaths. “I think when that happened, I thought about how enforcement still has to catch up with the whole sexting thing.” The deaths, he continued, “really brought (sexting and cyber-bullying) to the forefront of the news and as tragic as it was, it opened people’s eyes to sexting and how quickly dig- ital images can be shared. This can happen and kids get cellphones younger and younger. What checks and balances are there to make sure they’re responsible?” The onus, said Det.-Const. Lockwood, is on parents to figure out what their children are looking at. Don’t understand what chat appli- cation or dating site your kids are spending all their time on? Take a look for yourself. “You can find almost anything on Google,” he said. Det.-Const. Lockwood also stressed that par- ents shouldn’t be afraid to randomly check their children’s phones themselves, grabbing a glance at photos and apps they’re using. “If you have nothing to hide, there’s no rea- son to keep your parents out of your phone. (Parents) have to be a lot more involved,” he said. “Stop it before it happens, don’t wait before it does.” Sometimes, however, children are reluctant to tell parents something’s wrong because they’re afraid of losing the device that got them in trouble in the first place. “It’s sort of startling the number of texts teens send -- thousands of them -- and they have a hard time putting their phone away. They’re not going to tell an adult because they’re afraid (parents) will take the phone away,” said Dr. Slane. “They’re going to keep it under wraps so they don’t get cut off.” If it gets to the point that trouble is evident, continued Dr. Slane, it’s very important that children find someone to talk to. “A lot of times they think there’s nothing they can do and that’s not true,” she said. “If some- thing is happening that’s very disturbing, they have to find a trusted adult. There’s going to be a teacher or parent or neighbour that can help. They’ve got to keep trying. “They’ve got to make sure kids feel like they’re not isolated and there’s no recourse. There is someone that can help,” said Dr. Slane. “You have to negate the message that can lead to despair: There’s nothing I can do.” Continued from page 8 POTENTIAL PENALTIES FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGES Kids Help Line 2011 Survey of 217 kids Source: getcycbersafety.gc.ca Ipsos Interactive Reid Report Feb. 2013 survey of teens who are online, survey of 422 teens Canadian teens say they have witnessed online bullying Have received inappropriate comments through social networks Say they’ve been victims of only bullying through SNS Say they’ve seen mean or inappropriate comments about someone they know on social media (20%) (14%) (8%)(35%)1in5 1 in7 1 in10 1/3 Canadian parents say theirchild has experiencedcyberbullying Said they know a child in their community who has experienced cyberbullying 18%31% Ipsos Interactive Reid Report Feb. 2013 survey of teens who are online, survey of 422 teens Say they’ve seen mean or inappropriate comments Say they’ve seen mean or inappropriate comments Say they’ve seen mean or about someone they know on social mediaabout someone they know on social mediaabout someone they know (35%) DURHAM -- The penalties for various child pornography charges vary, said Det.-Const.

North Pickering murder victim identified Durham police say Claren Middleton of Toronto was shot Friday morning PICKERING — A sudden death investi- gation in north Pickering has now been deemed a homicide. Claren Troy Middleton, 25, of Toronto, is Durham Region’s sixth homicide vic- tim of 2015. He died of a gunshot wound and was discovered in a field by a pass- erby the morning of Oct. 23. Investigators would like to hear from any person with information about his activities from the evening of Wednes- day, Oct. 21 on. They are also interested in anyone who observed any suspicious vehicles in the area of Hwy. 7 and Side- line 4 in Pickering between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Friday morning. The body was found on land that’s being developed as a golf course at the northeast cor- ner of Hwy. 7 and Sideline 4 at about 8:15 a.m. that day, Durham police Inspector Jamie Grant said at the scene. The land is in a sparsely populated area west of Kinsale. There are few homes in the area, none of which appear to directly abut the land that is the centre of the investigation. No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Durham Regional Police detectives at 1-888-579- 1520 ext. 5402. PICKERING -- A body was discovered in north Pickering in the area of Sideline 4, just north of Hwy. 7, on Oct. 23. Durham Regional Police have since deemed the death of the victim, who’s been identified as Claren Troy Middleton, 25, of Toronto, as a homi- cide, Durham’s sixth of 2015.

The former Category 5 hurricane -- the most powerful tropical cyclone ever measured in the Western Hemisphere -- slammed into the Pacific coast of Mexi- co on Oct. 23, but weakened significantly once it made landfall. However, a low pressure system over Lou- isiana containing moisture from the rem- nants of Hurricane Patricia is now moving northward towards the Great Lakes and is expected to intensify into a “fairly strong fall storm” as it enters into Ontario, says Environ- ment Canada. The national weather agency expects “a large shield of rain” associated with the storm to spread into southwestern Ontario Tues- day night, reaching the Golden Horseshoe area by Wednesday morning. The storm will continue to march into central and eastern Ontario throughout the day Wednesday. Rain is expected to become “heavy at times,” says Environment Canada, warning rainfall between 25 mm to 40 mm can be expected in most areas. Amounts of 40 mm to 50 mm are possible in areas near Lake Ontario, adds the weather agency. A clap or two of thunder is also possible, along with rainfall approaching 50 mm in 24 hours, says Environment Canada. As well, “strong and gusty” southwester- ly winds are expected to develop Wednes- day over southwestern Ontario and then on Wednesday evening over the remaining parts of southern Ontario. Wind gusts up to 70 km/h are likely in most areas, while winds at the eastern ends of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie may reach 90 km/h. The winds may be strong enough to cause some tree damage and local power outages, especially where trees remain in partial to full leaf, warns Environment Canada. Locally, the Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority is advising the remnants of Hurricane Patricia will enter into the Great Lakes region on Tuesday evening, bringing “significant rainfall along with strong and gusty winds over the next couple of days.” CLOCA forecasts rainfall between 30 mm and 50 mm. The conservation authority warns that the expected rainfall will result in higher than normal water levels and flows in streams and creeks, resulting in dangerous flow con- ditions. No flooding is anticipated, stressed CLOCA officials, but watercourses will be flowing higher than normal, causing local streams and creeks to become danger- ous, especially in the vicinity of culverts and bridges. CLOCA is asking all residents and children to stay away from all watercourses and struc- tures such as bridges, culverts and dams. Elevated water levels, fast-flowing water and slippery conditions along stream banks con- tinue to make these locations extremely dan- gerous.

The event is suitable for both children and adults, and aside from the popu- lar maze, it will include animatronics, scary music, skeletons, a toxic swamp, a graveyard and mausoleum, and free hot apple cider. “There’s a lot to see,” said Ms. Robin- son.

It’s from 5 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31 at 476 Toynevale Ave. in Pickering. 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 2 8 , 2 0 1 5 15 PSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 MacLean qualifies for world trampoline championships Heading to Denmark from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6 Brad Kelly bkelly@durhmregion.com PICKERING — Kiara MacLean isn’t the same nervous little girl who started in the sport of trampoline at the age of 11. According to her coach, Cameron Osborne, she has evolved into a fierce competitor who will represent the country at the world age group championships in Denmark from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. “She is a pretty extraordinary athlete,” notes Osborne, who operates the Pickering-based Osborne Academy, where MacLean trains. “She stands out as an incredible athlete for her overall drive. She spends free time ana- lyzing video, either her own or other compet- itors, studies the sport and shows a genuine interest in her fellow athletes and competi- tors. “A lot of the time I have to remind her of focus on her own objectives. She likes to help others either by pushing them through simi- lar experiences that she goes through, a tech- nical error or correction, or just being sup- portive. She genuinely cares about the gym, other athletes and her own performance.” MacLean, a Toronto resident who shares time at her mom’s in Pickering, started in the Scarborough Gym Elites program. “I always did cartwheels around the house or school. I just wanted my mom to put me in it,” says the 16 year old of her initial attraction to gymnastics, which transitioned to trampo- line. At the recent Canadian championships, her highlights included ranking first after preliminaries in Level 6, 17-and-under dou- ble-mini, finishing second in Level 5, 16-and- over power tumbling, and she also competed in team finals for double-mini. Her inclusion on the Canadian team for worlds was a result of posting a standard score at nationals in her category, as well as having previous international experience, which she earned in 2013 in Salt Lake City, placing first. As for competing on the world’s stage, her emotions are understandable. “I’m really nervous, but on the other hand, I’m really kind of happy,” she says. PICKERING -- Kiara MacLean, a member of the Osborne Academy of Acrobatics, has qualified to compete in the World Age Group Trampoline and Tumbling Championships in Denmark at the end of the month.

Struggles continue for Oshawa Generals, captain Michael Dal Colle Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — It took Michael Dal Colle all of three games to net his first Ontario Hockey League goal and he’s never gone more than nine in a row without putting one in the back of the net. So, understandably, the 19-year-old cap- tain of the Oshawa Generals is extremely frustrated with how this season has trans- pired so far, now 14 games in and still with- out a snipe. The Generals sure could use more of a contribution from their star player, too, as they’ve struggled mightily to score and on Sunday, Oct. 25 dropped to 5-7-2-0 for the season after a 5-3 loss to the Barrie Colts at the General Motors Centre. The game represented the best and the worst of the team so far, although not in that order, as the Generals fell behind quickly and decidedly before clawing back and nearly tying it with a dominant final two frames. Dal Colle was shifted around and even landed at centre a few times, the position he was drafted at but has rarely played in his four seasons in Oshawa. The good news for both Dal Colle and the team is that he looked engaged late in the contest and earned an assist on Matt Mistele’s tally that made the score 4-3 with 2:53 remaining. The bad news is it wasn’t enough, as Andrew Mangiapane completed a hat trick into an empty net to round out the Colts’ vic- tory. Dal Colle, coming off the high of winning a Memorial Cup last season and the low of being sent back to junior by the New York Islanders this season, has just five assists in the 11 games he’s played, and is a team- worst -9, tied with Mistele. “I’ve never really been through this since I came into the league at 16, so it’s just a learn- ing curve,” Dal Colle said after Sunday’s game. “Obviously, it’s frustrating, I’m not going to lie. As an offensive guy, you want to score and get points every night, but it’s just a learning curve for me of just battling through adversity.” After leading the Memorial Cup team with 42 goals and 93 points in 56 regular season games a year ago, Dal Colle needs only four goals to hit the 100-mark for his OHL career and just nine points for 250. Coach Bob Jones believes it won’t take long for Dal Colle to reach those impressive milestones once the monkey finally flees his back. “I just think that he’s got to work a bit hard- er and things will come,” Jones said Sun- day. “We still really believe in Michael. He’s our captain, he’s the leader of this team and when he does break loose, I’ll be one happy guy and I’m sure he will be too.” Jones was more frustrated by the team’s “horrific” start Sunday, which saw Mangiap- ane score twice in the first five minutes and drive goalie Logan Gauthier out of the net after only three shots, replaced by Jeremy Brodeur. The coach said he yanked Gauthier, who was brilliant a week earlier in a 1-0 overtime loss to Kingston, to both protect the rookie and snap the team back to life. He blamed the defensive zone coverage and not Gauthi- er for both goals. Jones took responsibility himself for the slow start, saying it’s his job to make sure the players are prepared, but did not view it as an ongoing issue. “I don’t think this team doesn’t put their work helmet on every night, they do,” he said, pointing out it was their third game in four nights. “Just mentally they’ve got to be more mature and ready to play at the start of the game and they weren’t and it cost us.” The Generals are in Hamilton to face the Bulldogs (5-6-0-0) Wednesday, Oct. 28 and in Sudbury Friday against the Wolves (4-9-0- 0) before returning home to face the confer- ence-leading Kingston Frontenacs (9-2-1-1) Sunday, Nov. 1 at 6:05 p.m. 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 2 8 , 2 0 1 5 17 AP Looking for more?
