Report on possible scenarios for the land in north Pickering due by end of March Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Despite retiring 10 years ago, Gary Polonsky has landed back into full-time work. The former Durham College president and founding president of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology is learning about and will soon report on possibilities for controversial land in north Pickering. The federal government expropriated 18,600 acres of land in 1972 for an airport that hasn’t come to be. Transport Canada recent- ly committed to transferring 10,200 acres to Rouge National Urban Park, but still retains around 9,600 acres for economic develop- ment. Mr. Polonsky, an independent advisor, is meeting with local interests on the potential economic development opportunities in the area, which could include an airport. “Essentially my mandate is to listen to peo- ple and to report honestly what they say and all that takes the form of a report,” he said. He interviews many people a day -- from government officials to the aviation commu- nity to agricultural and conservation groups -- and says each has been “fantastic.” Some focus on growth and commerce and profits and jobs, and others on eating local, fresh food, and respecting and living on the land. “So it’s a challenge to me but a question I keep asking myself is, ‘Is there a scenario that would be great for both? Or at least good for both?’” he said. He noted some foresee as many as 60,000 jobs in the area. “Imagine if that kind of a windfall could befall our community, whether they’re air related or agricultural related or a combina- tion.” he said. He didn’t make any recommendations in his interim report and isn’t sure he’ll offer any in the end. His final report will include forward-look- ing perspectives which could be recommen- dations, observations or conclusions, or a series of ‘what if’ scenarios and questions. “Whether they’re actually called ‘recom- mendations’ or not, they will try and provide a useful format for the minister to consider as he and no doubt the prime minister make the final decision,” he said. He spoke highly of Minister of Transport Marc Garneau, former astronaut. “I think whatever he decides, Canadi- ans can be encouraged and take comfort in knowing a person of that ilk is at the helm,” he said. Mr. Polonsky believes the report could be made public by fall.

The 14 year old, whose identity is pro- tected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared briefly in Oshawa court by video Tuesday, March 15 and remains in custody at a youth facility. The girl was taken into custody by offi- cers responding to a series of attacks Feb. 23 at Dunbarton, during which witnesses said a girl armed with two knives made her way through the hallways, slashing at victims. She was restrained by staff members. Five students and two staff members were hurt; none of the injuries was life-threaten- ing. The school reopened the next day. During the brief appearance Tuesday, the accused girl’s lawyer said the girl would be in court in person on March 22. She has not applied for bail. She’s been charged with nine counts of assault with a weapon, six counts of assault causing bodily harm, assault and posses- sion of a dangerous weapon.

Take-home kits aimed at people who don’t have a family doctor Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- For the first time, Durham residents who don’t have a family physician can access a take-home test that screens for one of the most common cancers in Canada, colorectal cancer. In September, the Central East Regional Cancer Program began distributing Fecal Occult Blood Test test kits to 40 pharmacies in their district which includes Durham and Northumberland. Pharmacists were encouraged to distribute the kits to eligible patients when they received their flu shot. People take the kit home, apply a sample on the kit paper and then mail it in the envelope provided. The sample is then screened in a lab and if there is cause for concern the patient is paired with a doctor. “We recognize there are patients who do not have a fam- ily physician so we just want- ed to highlight that they could access colorectal cancer screen- ing via a pharmacist so we engaged the pharmacists just to make them aware of that as well and just try to provide that com- munity service,” said Meghan Kyte, data and performance lead for Central East Prevention and Cancer Screening Program. Ms. Kyte added that peo- ple who have a family doctor would be screened every two years. Colorectal cancer affects both men and women and is the fourth most common cancer in Canada with 8,900 people diag- nosed in 2014. It was the cause of 3,400 deaths in that year. “When detected early, so through regular screening, it’s 90 per cent curable. One of the things with colorectal cancer is you don’t see the symptoms until it’s much later in the dis- ease,” said Ms. Kyte. Jerome Kan is the owner and pharmacist at Island Plaza Pharmacy, 540 King St. W. in Oshawa. He explains that it’s a conve- nient option for people. “When they introduce these programs it makes it a lot more accessible for people, they can just come in on their own time, it’s not complicated, you don’t have to book a day off work or anything, you just mail it in,” he said. Mr. Kan explained that it’s a simple process to take the test. “The nice thing is they also include fairly straightforward instructions in the kit in case there’s confusion at home.” For more information about colon cancer risk, visit www. ontario.ca/coloncancercheck.

When: March 7 to mid-September Reason: Road widening Rossland Road in Ajax being widened to four lanes Oshawa to lose two councillors, giving it six Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ajax and Whitby are one step closer to each getting another Regional councillor, while Oshawa would lose two. By an overwhelming majority on Wednesday, March 9, Durham councillors endorsed a report from the Regional coun- cil composition review committee that called for the changes. However, there are still other steps that need to be taken before the changes are official. A bylaw outlining the changes needs to be drafted and approved by coun- cil. To be official, the bylaw needs to be approved by a ‘triple majority’ -- a major- ity of Regional councillors must approve it, at least five of the eight Durham local councils have to approve it and those five municipalities must consist of a majority of Durham residents. Then, the Province has to approve a reg- ulation to make it all official. The hope is to have all the approvals and changes in place for the 2018 municipal election. There are 28 councillors and an elect- ed chairman and those numbers won’t change. Ajax, with three representatives (the mayor and two councillors), and Whitby (the mayor and three council- lors) would each get one more councillor. Oshawa, now with eight representatives (mayor and seven councillors) would drop to six reps (mayor and five councillors). Oshawa Mayor John Henry tried to change the outcome by proposing Oshawa drop to six reps, but Ajax and Whitby remain at their current total, so Regional council would have 26 members. But, it was rejected by most councillors, includ- ing a majority of Oshawa councillors. Mayor Henry said his motion was an attempt to reduce the size of council and save taxpayer money. “If this is truly about reducing the size of council, this reduction to 26 members makes absolute sense,” he added. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish argued against Mayor Henry’s proposal, saying, “It flies totally in the face of rep by pop. Ajax coun- cil believes the recommendation of the committee is fair and just.” With Ajax and Whitby getting extra rep- resentation and Oshawa losing council- lors, those municipalities must now make changes at the local level. Oshawa was already making changes as it’s reverting back to the ward system, while Ajax and Whitby will have to make changes.

It’s a killer. But, if it’s caught early enough, it’s mostly curable. That’s why the Durham Regional Health Department is urging residents over age 50 -- most people diagnosed with colon cancer are age 50 and older -- to be aware of the risks of colon cancer, and also to be screened against this type of cancer in order to minimize the risks. In Can- ada, 8,900 people were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2014. It was the cause of 3,400 deaths that year. “Colon cancer is the third most com- monly diagnosed cancer in the country and is the second-leading cause of can- cer death,” said Brian Dallaway, a pub- lic health nurse with the health depart- ment. “When caught early through regu- lar screening there is a 90 per cent chance that colorectal cancer can be cured.” As March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, the goal is to promote regular screening. Men and women over age 50 should get checked every two years. For the first time Durham residents who don’t have a family physician can access a take- home fecal occult blood test (FOBT) that screens for colorectal cancer. The kit is free and can be done at home. The test looks for blood in the stool, which may be a sign of colon cancer. In September, the Central East Regional Cancer Program began distributing FOBT test kits to 40 pharmacies in the Central East region that encompasses Durham Region and Northumberland County. Pharmacists were encouraged to distrib- ute the kits to eligible patients when they received their flu shot. People who don’t have a doctor can simply pick up a free kit, take a sample at home that is applied to a slot on the kit paper then mail the results in the envelope provided. The sample is then screened in a lab and if there is no problem, they’ll receive a letter in the mail. If further con- sultation with a doctor is needed, they’ll be paired up with a physician. Jerome Kan, owner and pharmacist at Island Plaza Pharmacy in Oshawa, explained the FOBT is an easy and conve- nient option for people. “When they introduce these programs it makes it a lot more accessible for people, they can just come in on their own time, it’s not complicated, you don’t have to book a day off work or anything, you just mail it in,” said Mr. Kan, adding the kit offers straightforward instructions. The FOBT kit is free, easy, convenient, and now in Durham Region, it’s readily available. If you’re over 50, early detec- tion could potentially be a life saver. Colon cancer? It’s not worth the risk. Anxiety and depression: The monster under the bed OP I N I O N column Agree? Disagree? Send us a letter to the editor, max. 200 words. newsroom@durhamregion.com, The clock is ticking on my night stand. My heart is beating in my ears. The washing machine is whirring downstairs in the laundry room –- all seemingly inno- cent background noises. I burrow my head beneath the blankets, praying it won’t happen again. But I’m not so lucky. Dread seeps through me. The tick of the clock gets louder, speeding up to an insane velocity. My heart races, hammering at my ears with precise cru- elty. And the whirring of the washing machine gets louder and louder ... and faster and faster. I feel sick. I feel scared. I feel alone. I burrow deeper but it won’t stop. Everything in my altered world is on fast forward. I am 10 years old -- in my mind, way too old to run to Mom and Dad. But finally, I jump from my bed and race toward the thin beacon of light beneath my parent’s bedroom door. Now, years later, I don’t know if it was anxiety or panic attacks or prepubes- cent hormones wreaking havoc with my brain. My memories are vivid. My fear was tangible and the feeling of help- lessness was real. To have something so paralyzing happening within my body was terrifying. To me, it was the mon- ster under my bed that thankfully faded away. I don’t presume to know how it feels when anxiety or depression takes hold. I’m just a mom, a wife, a sister, a daugh- ter and a friend. But I’ve looked into the desperate eyes of anxiety and depres- sion many times. I’ve seen the effects of an anxiety attack. I’ve held the icy fin- gers of a cold hand, watched the sweat trickle down a forehead, tried to diffuse dark anger and shared in the despera- tion. I’ve seen the effects of depression; the inability to get out of bed, the lack of energy, the loss of appetite and weight, the overwhelming lack of hope. I’m not an expert but I know for cer- tain -- from experience -- that giving a voice to your inner struggle and talking to someone you trust is a step toward loosening the stranglehold of this crip- pling illness. But if the someone you choose, in their ignorant wisdom, tells you to ‘get over it’, ‘get a grip’ or ‘man up’, than that someone is not the right person. You cannot just ‘get over’ this. Whether it be therapy, medication, a change in diet or some other form of treatment, help is out there. We, as bystanders, must provide a safe haven for those struggling. We must lis- ten and validate their emotional pain. To watch anyone –- friends, family, or a mere acquaintance –- battle invisible demons is one of the hardest things in the world. To be unable to help is even worse. And sometimes, despite every- thing, we cannot help. But, when help is sought and the monster under the bed retreats and light returns to the eyes of your loved one, you will know it was worth the fight –- the fight for a life worth saving. -- Megan Denby is a local writer and the author of ‘A Thistle in the Mist’, a Scottish historical drama set in Scotland and Nova Scotia. our opinion Durham health department urges colon cancer screening megan Denby Guest columnist Tim Whittaker - Publisher twhittaker@durhamregion.com Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising feismont@durhamregion.com Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief jburghardt@durhamregion.com Mike Johnston - Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com Deb Macdonald - Sales Manager dmacdonald@durhamregion.com Abe Fakhourie - Director of Distribution afakhourie@durhamregion.com Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager chaines@durhamregion.com News Advertiser 865 Farewell St., Oshawa ON L1H 6N8 www.durhamregion.com ADVERTISING 905-215-0472 CLASSIFIEDS 905-215-0442 DISTRIBUTION 905-683-5117 GENERAL FAX 905-576-2238 NEWSROOM 905-215-0481 LETTERS: We welcome letters.

Major projects include new Seaton fire station, street lighting replacements Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering residents can expect a 3.99 per cent property tax increase in 2016. That’s an additional $56.62 on a house valued at $376,900 on Pickering’s portion of the tax bill. It’s below the proposed 4.9 per cent increase, which staff and council whit- tled down during budget discussions on Thursday. “It’s a good solution for Pickering resi- dents,” said Stan Karwowski, City treasur- er. The proposed budget includes a base increase of 2.6 per cent plus special levies for large projects. The City, which was originally propos- ing a .3 per cent levy for LED street light upgrades, will continue with the project but will now take that money out of the 2015 surplus. A roads and bridges levy was reduced from the one per cent that was originally proposed to .39 per cent. A one per cent special levy will be used to participate in the federal government’s anticipated infrastructure funding. The City will learn more about this grant pro- gram when the federal budget is released on March 22. “If there’s roads and bridges infrastruc- ture money, we have projects ready to go,” said Mr. Karwowski. He noted the overall increase to the res- idential taxpayer (the bill is split among the City, Durham Region and the school boards) is 2.07 per cent, which compares favourably to the Toronto January inflation rate of 2.1 per cent. Resident David Sim said “I’m happy they’ve gone back and taken another look and were able to lower the rate” but he feels the City should try to stay in line with the inflation rate on its own portion of the tax bill. Mayor Dave Ryan pointed out that 20 years ago, the City passed zero per cent increases. “Eventually it catches up,” he said. Of the $57.8-million capital budget, $49 million is for infrastructure renewal. “That’s what’s driving this budget,” said Mr. Karwowski. The LED street light replacement pro- gram, costing $5.5 million, will include the replacement of all of the Bay Ridges neigbourhood’s wood poles, which have reached the end of their life. More than 7,000 street light fixtures are planned to be retrofitted with LED fixtures through- out Pickering. They should save around 67 per cent in electricity use, and lower utility costs by more than 50 per cent. Major projects include the replacement of the City’s operations centre on Tillings Road, budgeted at $26 million; accessi- bility upgrades at City Hall for $1.3 mil- lion; Delaney Arena improvements, cost- ing $2.3 million; and the design and site preparation for a new fire hall to service Seaton. Ward 1 City Councillor Maurice Brenner suggested the City consider marketing some of its own services to private com- panies in the future to help increase the municipality’s revenue. For example, it could provide operations work such as groundskeeping to malls and plazas. The final budget will go to council for approval on March 29.

The slogan for the campaign is Take a 100 Meal Journey: make small changes, one meal at a time. The goal of the cam- paign is to provide information and guid- ance to make it a little easier for Durham Region residents to choose, eat and enjoy healthy food.   Each week, for the month of March, our tips, strategies and ideas will encour- age you to make small, positive chang- es to your meals and snacks. The theme for week one was get ready! We encour- aged Durham Region residents to take a pledge and join us in a 100 Meal Journey throughout March. There is still time to take the pledge: nutritionmonth2016.ca . Week two focused on quality. The focus was on cooking more meals at home. This week, the focus is on portion size. When it comes to healthy eating, how much you eat can be just as important as what you eat. Eating portions that are too big can lead to unintentional weight gain. Package, plate and portion sizes can influence how much you eat. The larg- er the plate or package, the more we eat. This is true for beverages as well, bigger glasses equal more consumed. This can make a big difference if our beverages are sweetened or include toppings such as whipped cream and flavour syrups. Try using smaller plates and bowls for meals. You’ll eat less but still feel satisfied. Also try the following ideas, manage por- tions: • Serve food, or have family members serve themselves, from the counter or the stove -- not at the table. • Keep serving dishes of vegetables on the table. If you’re still hungry, eat second portions of veggies. • Put large glasses of water on the table. You might even drink more water. Use smaller glasses for sweetened beverages. Keep those specialty coffees to a small. • Turn off screens during meals so you are less likely to eat mindlessly -- we eat more when we are distracted. • Slow down when you eat. Put your fork down in between bites. We eat less, when we eat slowly. • Buy individually wrapped treats, such as small squares of dark chocolate, to help with portion control. Studies show, you are more likely to choose available, easily reached foods. Try these tips to make healthy choices easier: • Keep nourishing snacks (e.g. hardboiled eggs, cut-up veggies, yogurt, nuts, whole grain crackers) on an eye-level shelf in the fridge or cupboards so something healthy is the first thing you see. • Put high-fat, high-sugar treats, such as cookies at the back of the fridge or cup- board so they’re out of sight and out of reach. • Clear kitchen counters of all food except for a bowl of fresh fruit for crunchy snack- ing. We eat what we see. Remember choose one or two goals each week. Keep your goals specific and realistic; build on them as you go.

Irish culture is on display each St. Patrick’s Day, and few can resist the opportunity to indulge in some green-clad revelry. While parades and music garner much of the attention on St. Patrick’s Day, food also plays a big role. Cottage pie, often referred to as “Shepherd’s pie,” traces its origins to the United Kingdom and Ireland. The dish can now be found on the menu at many Irish pubs, but St. Patrick’s Day celebrants can prepare from the comforts of their own kitchens thanks to the following recipe from Laurie McNamara’s “Simple Scratch: 120 Wholesome Homemade Recipes Made Easy” (Avery). Cottage Pie Serves 6 For the filling: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 cups diced yellow onion 1 cup diced carrot 1 cup diced celery 3 cloves garlic, minced 21⁄2 pounds ground round 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour 1⁄4 cup Pinot Noir (or any good dry red wine) 2 cups beef broth 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce 4 sprigs fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 11⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1⁄2 cup frozen peas For the mashed potatoes: 31⁄2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces Kosher salt 1 and 1⁄4 cups whole milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 3⁄4 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves To make the filling: In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Stir to coat the vegetables in butter, cover, and cook, stirring occasion- ally, for 15 minutes, until soft. Add the gar- lic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Use a spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl. In the Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks, until cooked through. Return the vegetables to the pot and stir in the tomato paste and flour. Pour in the wine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and Worcestershire sauce and add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the peas and pour the filling into a 3- to 4-quart baking dish. While the filling is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the peeled potatoes in a pot and add cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Add a generous pinch of salt, cover, and bring to a boil. Crack the lid and cook the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. With the lid askew, carefully drain the water from the pot with the potatoes. Return the pot to the stove over low heat. Add the milk and butter to the potatoes, cover, and simmer the potatoes in the milk and butter for 10 to 12 minutes. Season the potatoes with 3⁄4 teaspoon of salt and mash with a potato masher or mix with a hand mixer. Add the cheddar and stir to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Use a spatula to spoon the mashed pota- toes over the filling in the baking dish and spread them out evenly. Use a fork and drag it along the top of the mashed potatoes to make ridges. These will crisp up and brown in the oven. Place the cottage pie on a rimmed bak- ing sheet and slide it into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top of the potatoes is golden and crispy and the filling is bub- bling. Combine the minced parsley and thyme. Serve large spoonfuls of the cottage pie in bowls with a sprinkle of the parsley and thyme. 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 • Ma r c h 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 19 AP BDC IS THE ONLY BANK DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY TO ENTREPRENEURS.FINANCING |CONSULTING >BDC.CA Seeing solutionsvs. problems. BDC is committed to the long-term success of Canadian entrepreneurs and has the tools and experience to help make it happen. Contact us >1-888 -INFO -BDC Sao Miguel is the largest and most popu- lated of the nine island Azores (or Acores in Portuguese) chain. It is known as the “Green Island” owing to its abundant vegetation due to the mild and moist cli- mate. The island is part of an archipelago formed by volcanic activity. It is here that the Eurasian, North American and African continental plates meet. Furnas, the town I am staying in, lies within an ancient volcanic crater. Hot springs and bubbling water are a common sight even within the town’s core but the turbu- lence of activity beneath is a contrast to the tranquil beauty of the area above. Furnas is a picture perfect place with mountainous hills covered with lush, almost tropical vegetation, winding roads and gaily pastel coloured build- ings. The area is full of natural scenic wonders. However Sao Miguel has a very well kept secret-----it also has great wine. I recently visited an award winning win- ery called “Quinta da Jardinete” which is located about one half hour from Fur- nas. Originally an historic orange estate complete with its own Chapel, it was turned into a five hectare, boutique win- ery in 2007. Its name was taken from an old house at the highest point of the property which people called “Jardi- nete”. Its grapes were planted in 1989. Much experimentation and effort was made to find the best match between the volcanic soil, local micro climate and grape varietals.    Wanting true terroir expression, the owner Mario Rebelo was adamant in not using any grapes other than those grown on the property. The vineyard is surrounded with high volcanic basalt walls and wind breaking trees which shelter it from the strong, cold Atlantic winds.  Though the weather can be harsh, the Merlot, Aragones, Zweigelt,  (Red) and Fernao Pires, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay (White) have been planted in particular micro climatic parts of the vineyard to suit their needs. Scrupulous selection is used in every part of the wine making process. Mario produces about 1,000 cases which are sold out almost immediately. All this work results in an  elegant qual- ity wine that would compare to any wine anywhere. Tasting Notes: The red Merlot/Aragones blend exhib- its cool climate flavours with  ripe fruit, subtle oak and soft tannins. While the white Sauvignon Blanc/Fernao Pires blend produces a crisp wine with deli- cate aromas of passion fruit and citrus.      The Quinta da Jardinete Chardonnay recently won Pure Gold at the Concurso de Vinhos competition. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and con- sultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

Beloved son of David and Josie Gendron, (nee Accaputo) loving, compassionate, younger brother of Thomas and twin sister Laura. Treasured by his grandparents Ron and Betty Gendron and predeceased grandparents John and Nina Accaputo. Caring nephew to Lynn (Kevin), Michelle (Mass) and Maria Hunt (nee Accaputo). Andrew will be sadly missed by his many cousins and extended family, teammates, and friends. Andrew was a student of Pickering High School, an Ajax Knights hockey player and a Scout. He was a vibrant and giving person with a sweet soul, who would light up a room with his presence and contagious smile. He enjoyed playing clarinet, chess and games, but he mostly had a great passion for hockey. This along with his craving to be with his friends made him enjoy life to its fullest. He was an inspiration to our family and many others. The emptiness we feel in our hearts will live on - his upbeat, generous, spirit will be with all of us forever. Visitation and Funeral Mass have already taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Jump Start Sport Organization or the Ajax Pickering Hospital Paediatric Wing for child heart monitors would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be placed at www.mceachniefuneral.ca "Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever."

Ron and Jean are finally reunited in Heaven with God. He will be remembered most for his abundance of love for his wife and family, his strong unwavering faith, his desire to guide, protect and keep his family safe. He will be a Guardian Angel in Heaven. We are truly blessed to have had such a strong devoted, wise and comforting man as our dad. We will love him forever.
