AJAX -- An officer on patrol interrupted the knifepoint robbery of a teenaged girl in Ajax Wednesday evening. Two suspects are now being sought in the incident, at about 5 p.m. Jan. 20, Dur- ham police said. The 17-year-old victim, who was robbed of her cellphone and wal- let, wasn’t injured. An officer was eastbound on Kingston Road east of Elizabeth Street when he saw two suspects wearing ski masks confront- ing the girl, police said. The suspects fled when the cop inter- vened.

Only, he isn’t. He is one of only six Cana- dians with a rare disease -- a mutation of the SCN8A gene that causes epilepsy. Given the rarity of the disease makes it extremely difficult to treat it, his mother Shelley said. “The biggest challenge is finding a neu- rologist to lead the treatment,” Ms. Frappi- er said, adding it’s “scary” that she and her husband often lead the treatment. She made the comments during a round- table discussion hosted by Michael Har- ris, the Progressive Conservative MPP for Kitchener-Conestoga. He’ll be introducing a private member’s motion on Feb. 25 to set up a select com- mittee to study and provide recommenda- tions on rare disease treatment funding in Ontario. “For too many years now, we’ve seen too many patients forced to come to Queen’s Park cap-in-hand to plead with the govern- ment for life-saving and life-transforming rare disease treatment,” Mr. Harris told the dozen people attending the roundtable at the main branch of the Ajax Public Library. “This is an issue that crosses all party lines and I’m hopeful MPPs whose areas we are visiting -- and those across the prov- ince -- will hear these stories and sign on to support my motion on Feb. 25,” Mr. Har- ris said. “Suffers will need more than words of understanding from government and a pat on the back when they are on the door- step and the cameras are on. They need an accessible process that will take the politics out of it and ensure support is there when they need it.” He added, “Smaller numbers and higher treatment costs doesn’t mean they should be abandoned by this government. It’s the one in 12 we are here on behalf of today.” Carion Fenn suffers from syringomy- elia and chiari malformation. She has also started a support group for those suffering from a rare disease that meets on the sec- ond Thursday of each month at the Ajax library. People with rare diseases feel isolated and that in turn causes them to become depressed, she said. For more information about Nico, visit support for Nico on Facebook. For more on Ms. Fenn’s support group, contact her at smcm@carionfenn.org. Tory MPP visits Ajax to talk rare diseases Keith Gilligan / Metroland DURHAM — Michael Harris, a Progressive Conservative MPP for Kitchener-Conestoga, began a province-wide consultation before he requests an all-party Select Committee to study rare diseases. Among those at the session held in Ajax on Jan. 25 were Shelley Frappier and her two-year-old son Nico. He suffers from a rare form of epilepsy, one that affects only six other Canadians. 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 7 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP ALREADY DRIVING A NISSAN?

The third-quarter (October to December 2015) payment totalled $1,489,569. Since the facility opened in early 2006, Ajax has received more than $59.5 million in reve- nue. The Town uses the money to pay for infrastructure maintenance and repair, replacing vehicles and equipment, debt reduction and building infrastructure. Cha-ching: Ajax receives quarterly OLG slots paymentPickering man among those arrested in raid that included Oshawa home, Hells Angels clubhouse in Toronto OSHAWA -- Durham police raided an Oshawa residence and the Hells Angels clubhouse in Toronto Jan. 21, arresting eight people and seizing drugs worth an estimated $30,000. The investigation began in early Janu- ary, with members of the Biker Enforcement Unit probing suspected drug trafficking at an Oshawa townhouse complex. After watching a drug transaction cops closed in, busting two people and seizing fen- tanyl and cocaine. Officers next execut- ed search warrants at the Hells Angels clubhouse on St. Clair Avenue East in Toron- to, and another Toronto residence; that raid resulted in the seizure of drugs including cocaine, marijuana, oxycodone and fentanyl patches. Now facing drugs charges are: • Steven Gignac, 39, Kimberly Gignac, 42, 19-year-old Liam Gignac, and Kevin Mason, 30, all of Glen Street, Oshawa; • Robert Prested, 63, Ranstone Gar- dens, Toronto; • Steven Swanson, 35, Rushton Road, Pickering; • Andrew Robinson, 39, Main Street, Clarington, and • Jenny Barns, 28, of Vail Meadows Cres- cent, Clarington.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Whether you read your news on paper, a laptop or a phone, listen to it or watch it, few of us are ignorant of the reality the media industry is experi- encing rough seas. More like a hand-carved canoe attempting to reach terra firma in a hur- ricane. Blame the Internet, the reader, the media companies, the advertisers, the government –- it makes no difference. The news industry, like so many before it, must respond to changing consumer wants and needs if it hopes to stay in the game. Word this week that our parent com- pany, Metroland Media Group Ltd., will cease publishing the daily Guelph Mer- cury might be sad but it’s not surprising. After all, the company also publishes the twice-weekly Guelph Tribune in the same market. Daily newspaper subscriptions have been eaten alive as consumers opt for digital news delivery on a 24/7 model, in many cases turning to the dailies’ little brothers, the once or twice week- ly community newspapers, to get the ‘local’ news. Years of acquisitions and swapping of titles between the big media play- ers have left some media companies with two or more competing proper- ties in the same city. Just last week Post Media merged its duplicate newsrooms in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. Is it sad to see journalism jobs lost? Sure. It’s sad to see any job lost whether it be at a newspaper, Goodwill, General Motors or in the oil fields. All the restructuring we are read- ing about has a silver lining. It means media companies are reacting to the fact they can’t do business the way they have in the past. When the dust from all this tearing down settles, I hope to see companies that are ready to rebuild and continue delivering news and advertis- ing information in ways we might not have even imagined yet. Nearly 35 years ago I walked through the doors of Oshawa This Week as a Durham College journalism placement student. It was the day Inland and Met- rospan merged to form Metroland. Twenty-two years ago, the daily Oshawa Times was closed by Thomp- son Newspapers after a lengthy strike. Before the Oshawa Times –- at various times known as the Oshawa Daily Times and the Times-Gazette -– there was the Oshawa Vindicator. Media companies are not strangers to change. Today’s cuts are deep, they hurt, and they are necessary to ensure journalism survives and flourishes in Canada. My hope is today’s media owners have learned that using a mirror to look into the future will only land them where they were yesterday. It’s time for for- ward thinking. -- This month Joanne Burghardt celebrates her 25th anniversary as editor-in-chief of the News Advertiser The media industry is changing -- because it must column Joanne Burghardt Editor-in-chief In 1985 then Premier David Peterson promised beer would be sold in corner and grocery stories. That promise lasted as long as his short- lived government and died before he could get it passed in the legislature. Some three decades passed before the issue was re- introduced by Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals and given her government’s majority sta- tus at Queen’s Park it passed quickly. Beer has been available in grocery stores since mid-December and to date has been met with favourable reviews. Last week Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa visited Farm Boy in Whitby to praise what he called “the biggest shake- up in alcohol distribution in our province in 90 years -- since Prohibition. “People have demanded this. I’m very happy we’ve been able to deliver on it.” Until last month consumers had always been forced to stand in line at the Beer Store for their 24 packs of suds. Smaller 6 packs have been made available at the LCBO but apart from that those were the only two options open to consumers to purchase beer. The Beer Store has operated with- out competition since 1927 even though neighbouring jurisdictions like Quebec and New York have long enjoyed liberal- ized liquor laws. It just didn’t make sense that a monopoly, such as this, was allowed to continue for so long. Now, a month into beer being made available at 60 grocery stories across the Province, consumers are starting to see the benefits, the convenience of having it more accessible. That said with wider accessibility comes more responsibility. Those staff who are of age to sell beer in grocery stores cur- rently receive Smart Serve training. We would encourage that to continue and for more employees to get the same training. Beer and LCBO stores require all staff to be trained so if grocery stores want the same privilege to sell suds they should be held to the same standards. By May 2017 the Province anticipates there will be 150 Ontario supermarkets selling beer, eventually rising to a maxi- mum 450 of the province’s 1,500 grocery stores. At least 20 per cent of that space is reserved for beers made by Ontario craft brewers and other small artisanal produc- ers. Farm Boy manager David Cooper said people are pairing beer with the dinners they’re shopping for, and appreciate the convenience and selection. It’s been long overdue. Given the government’s obvious delight in this successful venture might they also not consider a similar move with liquor sales? That too is a monopoly that’s been around forever with little, if any competi- tion except for the odd wine kiosks that can be found at the exits of some grocery store chains. Premier Wynne has given us a taste of something good. Hopefully this is but the first round of something better. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division our opinion Beer sales in grocery stores give Durham residents a taste for more 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 7 , 2 0 1 6 7 P The Ontario HealthStudy is returning to Durham Region!

He defeated 11 candidates in the bye- lection to fill the Ward 1 City council seat, and looks forward to representing Pickering residents again. “I can assure you and I can assure them that I’ll be accessible, accountable and transparent in each and everything that I do on their behalf,” he said. Coun. Brenner was originally elected to the Ward 1 local seat in 1985 and 1988, and was the ward’s Regional councillor until losing the election to Bonnie Littley in 2006, when he was facing fraud-relat- ed charges. In 2007, he was found not guilty of the charges that he felt cost him the seat. He equated the feeling of winning the byelection to his emotions when his name was cleared. “The tears were flowing,” he said. He ran for mayor and lost against Mayor Dave Ryan in 2010 and in 2014. He said the time away from council allowed him to be humble, and to learn new skills to build consensus rather than confrontation. “A strong community voice doesn’t mean you have to be a voice that doesn’t listen,” he said. He said council can be productive by respecting differences of opinion while working cohesively to benefit the com- munity. “We have different community agen- das that we believe are the right agenda,” Coun. Brenner said. “As long as we can agree to disagree, it’s going to be great.” Mayor Ryan welcomed Coun. Brenner back to City Hall. “We’ve got a new council and I think we have a different way of doing business than we used to,” he said. “It’s a very positive outlook. I’m hopeful that he’s going to con- tribute to that.” With Coun. Brenner’s election, Pickering now has an all-male council. Candidate Lisa McFarland ran hoping to bring a fresh, female and diverse perspec- tive. “I was surprised actually because I thought it was time for a fresh change and people of Pickering felt that,” she said. Coun. Brenner, a human rights consul- tant by trade, said “diversity is removing the barriers for individuals to compete fairly.” He noted in terms of council, the public determines the most experienced for the job. “I support diversity, I am committed to it, I believe in it and I hope I do my job to mentor someone of a diverse background to replace me as well,” he said. The voter turnout was just 15 per cent. Mayor Ryan said he’s working with com- munity organizations and schools to gen- erate more interest. While campaigning, Coun. Brenner mostly heard from residents with speeding concerns and seniors with financial wor- ries. “My No. 1 priority to start ... is to look for options to help our most vulnerable in the city of Pickering,” he said. The byelection was called after Jen- nifer O’Connell, the previous Ward 1 Regional councillor, was elected as Pickering-Uxbridge MP in Octo- ber, and Kevin Ashe, the Ward 1 City councillor at the time, was appointed to the position.

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE CC Visionary Centre geared toward children with autism and adults with special needs Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com BOWMANVILLE -- A new private school in Clarington is the creative vision of a woman who did not always agree with tra- ditional ways of teaching. The CC Visionary Centre, part of Cour- tice Clubhouse, which runs a wide range of programs for children, opened in Septem- ber in Bowmanville and is looking for more students. The private school is geared toward, but not limited to, students with autism and special-needs adults. Renee Sutton-Hardy, who one would tra- ditionally refer to as the founder, doesn’t like to use titles but agreed she’s the inno- vative thinker behind the school. “I just love what I do and I do it because there’s a need,” said Ms. Sutton-Hardy. The school’s personalized learning and practical learning approach allows stu- dents to work in a variety of environments with mediums that best express their strengths. “We look at the individual children’s learning style and we cater to that,” said Ms. Sutton-Hardy. “It’s more free-flow for them.” The school features a creative room where students can paint, sew and colour, a gym, a science and technology room and a sensory room for children with autism. The room features Hula Hoops, mats, a trampoline, tactile items, unlit scented candles and tents if the children want to be on their own. “We are also starting an adult day pro- gram,” said Ms. Sutton-Hardy. “Once they reach 21, there’s a need out there.” The day program provides opportunities for adults with special needs to engage in meaningful activities in a supportive envi- ronment. There is also outdoor space where stu- dents can garden and go on hikes. It’s $400 per month to attend the school. Bowmanville resident Kelly Littman’s two sons, Joshua, 10 and J.J., five, attend the school. Joshua has learning disabilities and his parents found it hard for him in the traditional school system. New private school offers personalized learning for students of all abilities “We always knew he was a smart boy,” said Ms. Littman. “He’s actually learning a lot of new things, which he didn’t have an opportunity to do in the old school.” She said her boys are excited to attend school now. “They’re really engaged,” she said. Their father Brent Littman is impressed with the ratio of one teacher to seven stu- dents. “Even if you have kids that don’t have learning disabilities, just the student-to- teacher ratio is amazing,” said Mr. Littman. He said the flexibility of the school is another factor he finds unique. Staff member Kim Bradley, who also doesn’t like titles but calls herself a jack-of- all-trades and life educator, says the school is cutting edge. “It’s several pieces of different programs that have been put together to create something no one else has seen before,” said Ms. Bradley.

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE Lakeridge Health dietitian shares top tips to healthy eating Are you having a hard time keep- ing your New Year’s resolutions? You’re not alone. Studies show that half of all people stop their new diet after less than a month. Now that January is coming to a close, I think it’s time to stop talking about New Year’s resolutions and start talking about healthy lifestyle changes. I became a Dietitian because I love to cook. My passion for food led me to the Uni- versity of Guelph, where I learned the sci- ence behind food and the human body. Being a Dietitian I’m asked -- a lot -- by my friends and family for tips to help them lose weight and make healthy eating choic- es. I always tell them, and my patients, that being healthy is important, but it’s also important to enjoy what you’re eating or your changes won’t last. At Lakeridge Health, dietitians work in all areas, both in and out of the hospital, car- ing for our youngest and oldest patients and everyone in between. We work with our patients and the health care team to devel- op achievable nutrition goals. If you hate spinach, we’re not going to tell you that you must eat it to improve your iron because we know that there’s a good chance you won’t. Here are my top five tips that I share with my family and friends. Make Measurable Goals. Break down your goals and make sure they are specific. Eating healthier is an amazing goal, it just isn’t specific enough to achieve. An example of a specific goal would be: “I want to increase my vegetable and fruit intake, so I will fill half my plate with vegeta- bles and fruit at dinner every night.” Do you eat out every day? Plan to bring your lunch from home three days a week. This way you can control what you are eating. Small changes can make big changes. Too much change can be overwhelming and less sustainable. Healthy, small chang- es could be eating a vegetable at each meal, switching to whole wheat bread from white bread, or committing to work out three days a week. Incorporate one small change at a time until it doesn’t seem hard anymore, then move on to another. Recognize what you’re already doing well. Take a look at your eating habits. Often we don’t give ourselves credit for the healthy choices we’re already making. If you’re already eating breakfast, build on that and add a piece of fruit. Write it down. Some studies show that keeping a food diary can significantly improve weight loss efforts. Put pen to paper or input what you’re eating in a fitness app such as Fit- bit, eaTracker or MyFitnessPal. Journaling shows us what we’re really eating and can help us to make informed decisions wheth- er it is to eat less, exercise more or to decide if that chocolate bar is really worth it. Setbacks happen. Setbacks aren’t a reason to forget about the success that you did have. A healthy life- style change includes some treats along the way. Give yourself a pass and start fresh at your next meal. Most of all, remember to have fun. Learn- ing to live and eat well can be a new and exciting adventure. -- Sarah Berg is a Registered Dietitian with Lakeridge Health Saturday,Jan.30,7pm REGENT THEATRE 50 King St E • OshawaTICKETS $25-$56 •Subscriptions 10% OFFcall 905.721.3399 x2 •www.ontariophil.ca Add a VIP Post-Concert Reception ticket to your evening for only $45 ($40 for subscribers) Call 905-579-6711 for detailsArtexhibitofPaulSloggett,freewith your concert ticket.

Top new natural health trends for 2016 The New Year is here and Canadi- ans are eager for the inside scoop on how to optimize their health in 2016. In consultation with experts from across the country, the Cana- dian Health Food Association has identified the top five new natu- ral health trends to look out for throughout 2016. These trends can help Canadians from coast to coast kick start their New Year’s resolu- tions and make 2016 their happi- est and healthiest year yet. The 2016 top natural health trends include: Sea Vegetables: Is kelp the new kale? Sea vegetables can help reduce sodium intake while supporting thyroid health, as these unique vegetables are rich in naturally occurring iodine. Iodine is a key player in regulating metabolism, weight control and energy levels. We are seeing more and more peo- ple turning to these sea vegetables to help sustain the environment, as well as an overall healthy life- style. Fibre is the new “protein” In 2015 protein was all the rage. In 2016 all the experts will be buzzing about the next big health craze -- fibre. We all know fibre is good for digestive and intestinal health, but did you know that in certain cases an increase in fibre intake can help maintain weight better than a restrictive diet plan? It also boasts heart health benefits and has been shown to lower cholesterol. In 2016 a high-fibre diet trend will continue with innovative ways to incorporate it into your healthy lifestyle. Hemp for health This year it will be easy to add hemp into your healthy, balanced diet. Canadians will find hemp as a raw seed, ground into flour, sprouted, as hemp milk or juice, in lip balm, as a protein or fibre supplement, and in other prod- ucts including clothing and paper. Hemp is also a great vegan pro- tein alternative for people who are allergic to nuts. Canada has a thriv- ing hemp industry, so many prod- ucts available in your local store are Canadian grown and made. Studies now show that hemp offers the ideal ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids and is another way to stay heart healthy. Ajax & Pickering Locations8 Salem Rd.

The estate of Dr. Edward Sowa late of Toronto will arrive this week and starting Thurs Feb 4th we will sell 2 sales per week until finished, THURSDAYS 6pm & SATURDAYS 10am with viewing 2 hrs in advance of each sale.

The late Dr. Sowa was a well-known and respected psychiatrist in Toronto working up till the time of his passing at the young age of 86, living alone in a 3000 square foot penthouse condo on the 33rd floor of his luxury home. This gentleman was a compulsive collector, each room in this condo you just sort of walked in and backed out and after living there for over 25 years there was still 25 - 30 boxes upstairs and another 40 – 50 in storage that were never unpacked since he moved in, as well the balcony surrounding the condo was a maze of cast benches, large and small cast urns, chairs, small table etc. The moving company packed and transported everything to our place for auction. Our plans are to move from storage to the sales floor each day enough for each sale and continue until finished. Estimated at 5 weeks never knowing what we have until it is unpacked. It is literally impossible to list everything but we do know the late Doctor liked cast pcs including display stands, some show cases, brass, figures, busts, bronze, some furnishings, household articles, pictures, artwork, books, etc., some antique pcs included in this sale, 5 section stacking oak book shelves, 2 lovely wash stands, ant. 4 poster bed, modern queen bed with nearly new matt set, highboy chest & night stand, teak wood bedroom furniture, must be over 100 walking sticks, ships wheel clock, mantel clocks, The list just goes on and on.
