PICKERINGOPtICal Cost of cleaning up illegally dumped garbage exceeds $100,000 a year Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Marjorie Seymour’s walks around her neighbourhood near Altona Road and Finch Avenue are never as calm- ing as she’d like. “By the time I get home, I’m furious,” she says. It’s because of the garbage she comes across. “We have been here for 14 years in this house,” Ms. Seymour says. “It’s been ongo- ing.” The City of Pickering’s acting manager of public works, Don Woolley, says a crew cleaned up the area a couple weeks ago. Clearly, people have since made a mess. Coffee cups, water and pop bottles and cans, chip bags, tissue boxes and even bags of gar- bage are clearly visible along Finch and in wooded areas. “This is what we see all the time,” says Ms. Seymour. She even found furniture illegally dumped in the area before Christmas. On walks along Rosebank Road, she and her neighbour have come across toilets, furniture, paint cans, tires, and kitchen waste. Mr. Woolley believes most of the garbage along Finch is litter being tossed out of cars driving by, or from being blown about from recycling boxes. But he says people illegal- ly dump in areas more north, including on Rosebank Road. “A lot of it’s yard waste they get rid of up there,” he says. Litter usually looks worse at this time of year. “We find once the snow melts, there’s a lot more issue with garbage because it’s been in the snow,” says Mr. Woolley. Ms. Seymour feels the City should do more to solve this problem. But Mr. Woolley says it’s difficult to catch culprits. He figures people illegally dump on the weekends and at night. Rob Gagen, supervisor of parks operations, says while City staff addresses complaints, he finds people simply litter and dump again after a batch has been picked up. He takes litter and dumping seriously. “No. 1, it takes away from the beautifica- tion of the City, and No. 2, it takes staff dol- lars,” he says. The cost of cleaning up illegally dumped garbage exceeds $100,000 each year. Litter and illegal dumping are dangerous to wildlife, pets and people, degrade water quality and discourage economic develop- ment by lowering real estate values. Mr. Gagen’s staff addresses litter in parks and public garbage cans. Even though trash makes it into the cans, he believes much of it is household waste. And accumulation is up this year. In February 2015, the City collected 5,383 kilograms of waste from City bins. “This (February), we were over 8,000,” he said. Mr. Woolley asks people to keep a garbage bag in their car, and throw it out at home, and to dispose of waste that isn’t collected by traditional garbage and recycling pickup at proper facilities. People can face fines of up to $5,000 for illegal dumping. Residents can report it to the City by visiting www.pickering.ca/custo- mercare , calling 905-683-7575 or e-mailing customercare@pickering.ca. They can download Pingstreet, Pickering’s mobile app, and submit details and photos of the problem, or snap a picture and pro- vide details to the City’s Facebook or Twitter page.

McEachnieFuneralHome 28OldKingstonRoad,PickeringVillage Robert Chung, 35, arrested March 29 DURHAM -- An elementary school teach- er accused of conducting a sexual rela- tionship with a former student has been released on bail. Robert Chung wiped away tears Thurs- day afternoon as a justice of the peace ordered him released on $15,000 bail into the custody of his parents. He’ll be bound by terms that require him to live under vir- tual house arrest and not to be in contact with children. Mr. Chung, 35, was arrested March 29 after a former student alleged she’d been sexually assaulted by the teacher, with whom she became familiar when she attended elementary school in Ajax. The woman said the sexual contact began in 2008, when the girl was 14 and had gradu- ated to high school, police allege. The Crown had opposed Mr. Chung’s release. A publication ban prohibits reporting on evidence presented during the March 31 bail hearing, and reasons for justice of the peace Gerald Ryan’s ruling. Mr. Chung has been ordered to appear in court in Oshawa April 18.

Ajax man facing robbery charge after Durham Region Transit passenger robbed AJAX -- An 18-year-old man was arrested after a passenger was robbed while riding on a bus. A passenger on a Durham Region Tran- sit bus had a chain ripped from around his neck on Wednesday, March 30 at about 2 p.m. in the area of Ravenscroft Road and Delaney Drive, Durham police report. The suspect lunged at the victim and demanded the chain. The suspect then struck the victim with his elbow and ripped the chain off his neck. The driver stopped the bus because of a commotion and the suspect forced open the door and ran. Other passengers ran after the suspect, but he evaded them, police say. A detailed description of the suspect was given to police and a responding officer found the suspect on Large Crescent. He was arrested without incident. The victim suffered minor injuries that didn’t require medical attention. Kenneth Neil, of Woodward Crescent in Ajax, was charged with robbery. He was later released on an undertaking with con- ditions. 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 • Ap r i l 6 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP BrandNameFlooring.LowPrices.AlwaysinStock.

Although legislation has not yet been introduced one might think it was already debated, voted on and approved by the number of medical marijuana dispensary stores opening up across the GTA. In Toronto there are about 50 dispensa- ries that have opened during the past two years. And now one such dispensary has made its way to downtown Oshawa. A dis- pensary has also opened on Dundas Street East in Whitby. GW Weed Emporium opened at 8 Sim- coe St. N. on Friday, April 1 and no, the opening wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. The business is real and it’s not going any- where. The opening caught many in the com- munity off guard, even City officials and the Durham Regional Police Service. Oshawa City manager Jag Sharma said the City opened an investigation as well. City staff are currently comparing a medi- cal marijuana dispensary to its municipal- ly administered standards which includes zoning and licensing bylaws. They have not come to a conclusion yet. The police also stopped by for a visit. Dave Selby, a spokesman for DRPS said, “We’re aware of the new location, we’re monitoring it.” GW Weed Emporium is a medical mari- juana dispensary meaning the only people who can legally purchase products from the store are those with prescriptions from a medical doctor. Anyone who thinks they can come in and legally buy pot is turned away and given a form to take to their doc- tor. No prescription, no marijuana. That’s the law. “We’ve got more positive feedback and the more negative feedback was from local dealers who are upset there’s a legit place for medical marijuana,” said the dispen- sary manager, who only supplied his first name, Darryl. While selling marijuana is technically still illegal, medical dispensaries fall into a grey area and will continue to do so until the federal government legalizes the drug. That being said, our federal MPs might want to take note of these dispensaries because to the general public, not those who use the dispensaries, it’s sending a mixed message. Many people believe the election of Justin Trudeau has meant legal- ization of pot and that is simply not the case. The issue gets further confusing when you consider the LCBO has studied the issue of becoming a dispensary for medi- cal marijuana if and when the drug is legal- ized. The federal government should act on this file sooner rather than later to clear the air and the confusion about marijuana. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Life is too short not to forgive OP I N I O N column our opinion Federal government should clear the air about marijuana My heart hurts for the Nev- ille-Lake family. Their fam- ily was suddenly altered through the tragic car acci- dent that killed their three precious children and their grandfather. And yet Marco Muzzo, convicted of causing the accident through drunk driving, lives on. This alone is unfair to many. I’ve heard the press ask Ms. Neville- Lake if she’s forgiven Mr. Muzzo. For- giveness is like cancelling a debt or granting a pardon for an offence. But she’s like a trauma patient in need of intensive care and that’s a word she probably can’t truly process right now. Many can’t do it even under better cir- cumstances. Nevertheless, we’ll all have to grapple with forgiveness because hurting each other intentionally and unintentionally will happen. We need it from God, other people and even to forgive ourselves. But we will all make mistakes and do wrongs things from time to time. Of course, we usually only get upset when someone else’s mistake or wrong affects us. My father just passed away at the end of March. He was suddenly taken to the hospital on a weekend and one week later, he was gone. Just before he was put on a ventilator, I asked him to forgive me and my siblings if there was anything outstanding between us. I had forgiven him too. Forgiveness is far-reaching. There’s nothing to say it can’t forgive some- thing big or small, past or present if you go by the definition. We area the ones who find it hard to forgive based on the offence. Marco Muzzo did something illegal, the consequences of which have affect- ed his family and the Neville-Lake’s. A judge has sentenced him to 10 years for four lives, which is light really. But even if it was longer, the damage has been done. Yet this is not where the story has to end for those still alive. At some point, unforgiveness will seem like an option for all of us, but what good can come from it? It’s actually causing many of us to be sick. Just the thought of forgiving doesn’t ‘feel good’, but it’s letting some- thing go before it eats us alive and it opens the door to our healing. I once heard a quote that said, ‘Unfor- giveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.’ This life is too short to drink from that cup. Don’t do it. -- Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is a communicator of truth renae Jarrett Guest columnist Tim Whittaker - Publisher twhittaker@durhamregion.com Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising feismont@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.

The Blue Dot Movement, a David Suzuki Foundation initiative, seeks to have all lev- els of government recognize people’s rights to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and eat healthy food. The national initia- tive ultimately aspires to have the right to a healthy environment written into the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This growing movement is calling upon local communities to pass municipal dec- larations respecting people’s right to clean air and water, safe food and a stable cli- mate. Longtime Pickering resident and Pickering Blue Dot Movement member Chris Riddell spoke before council when the information was initially brought for- ward in December. “A declaration by the City of Pickering will build upon the plan you already have in place for sustainable development and will highlight Pickering’s commitment to make decisions that protect and promote people’s right to a healthy environment,” he said. Ajax was the first Durham municipali- ty to endorse the declaration and Oshawa and Whitby have also gotten on board. Pickering council passed the declaration on Tuesday, March 28, adding to the more than 125 other municipal governments supporting the movement. By doing so, the City is committing to protect the air, water, and land in its deci- sion-making. According to the foundation, Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn’t explicitly protect environmental rights. Only five Canadian provinces and territo- ries have environmental rights legislation: Quebec, Ontario, Yukon, Northwest Terri- tories and Nunavut.

The pilot project will test the possibility to use the service to send texts to Canadi- ans’ phones during an emergency. During the testing, some Durham Region residents may receive WPAS texts to their phones. When you receive a WPAS mes- sage, your phone will turn on and a special alert tone and vibration will play. The Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services says if you receive a message to just ignore it. Most phones are not WPAS-enabled, since the service is not yet available in Can- ada, according to the ministry. But some newer phones or phones purchased in the United States may be capable of receiving alerts. The project is being funded the Canadi- an Safety and Security Program, along with Public Safety Canada. Wireless systems could be used in the future to alert people to severe weather, as well as to nuclear, chemical, and criminal emergencies.

At roughly 3:20 a.m. on April 2, numerous people reported hearing up to 12 gunshots on Greenvale Cres- cent. A dark vehicle was seen leaving the area after the shots were fired. Durham police found a bullet hole in a parked car as well as damage to the window of a house. Officers also found shell casings on the street. No injuries were reported to police. The forensics unit collected evidence and investigat- ed and officers canvassed the neighbourhood. Now, police are asking any area homeowners with video surveillance footage of the incident to call police. Anyone with new information should call Det. Yama- da of the West Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2529. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward. Up to 12 g unshots hit Pickering home, car No matter what type of food they enjoy, just about everyone has a favourite restau- rant that they love for its menu and atmo- sphere. A gift certiﬁ cate from a restaurant of choice is always a great idea to please the person you love. The vast majority of eateries offer attractive gift certificates or cards, and even small family-run diners will likely be happy to hand-write a gift certiﬁ cate upon demand. A restaurant gift certiﬁ cate is also a thoughtful way to thank a neigh- bour for helping you with a chore or friends who came out on a Saturday to help you move. It isn’t necessary to give a large amount. Sometimes $20 can make all the difference between a simple meal and a real treat, accom- panied by a glass of wine or a dessert. If you’re giving the gift certiﬁ cate to a person who regularly eats out, you could choose a grill-room, a steak house, or a pub. One original idea is to give a gift certiﬁ cate from a break- fast restaurant: what luxury, to sleep late and then treat yourself to breakfast out! Everyone loves to spoil themselves with a tasty culinary treat sometimes, espe- cially when it doesn’t cost them a cent. That’s why restaurant gift certiﬁ cates are so popular: they are the ideal gift for many special occasions! 905.215.051 4 call Paul Taa l m a n a t email: ptaalman@dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m To advertise h e r e Eat In • Take Out Catering Fully Licensed Buffet Daily at Lunch and Sundays 5pm - 9pm www.themounteverest.ca Take-out orders of$20 or more beforetax, when payingwithCASH!R e C e i v e 10%O F F 611 Kingston Rd.

A 31-year-old Bowmanville woman was charged with drunk driving while an Oshawa man, 19, was arrested for drug possession soon after cops set up the checkpoint at Har- mony Road and Copperfield Drive around 2 a.m. March 31, Durham police said. Also charged were two novice drivers found to be breaching their no-alcohol licence provision, and another was busted for driving while under suspension. Earlier, officers on patrol were con- fronted by a vehicle travelling the wrong way on Simcoe Street North in Oshawa; a 34-year-old Cobourg man was charged with impaired driving. And an Oshawa man, 52, was arrested for drunk driving after his vehi- cle was seen weaving in its lane on Rossland Road. The charges came after Durham police arrested 10 people for impaired driving over the Easter long weekend.

Turns out he was wrong, at least in terms of the Blue Jays Fantasy Camp. Campers laughed until they cried, joyous tears at play- ing the game of their youth under the tute- lage of former Jays’ stars, many who formed the core of Toronto’s back-to-back World Series wins in 1992 and 1993. With real spring training in full flight in March, the 80 campers who came from across Canada to worship at the church of baseball last November can look back and relive their dream ‘training’ experience. Much of it will be mirthful memories. Guys screwing themselves in the batter’s box with ferocious hacks that only caught air, mud- dled base running that prompted hoots of laughter and fashion violations like some campers wearing underwear so gaudy it showed through the official white Blue Jays uniform issued to each camper. They ranged in age from the late 20s to early 70s and ran the gamut of U.S. college experience to weekend beer leagues. But what they had in com- mon was a love of baseball, great memories of the Blue Jays’ glory years and the shared humour and pain of pulling on the hallowed uniform and trying things they may not have done in awhile, like play two games a day. Roberto Alomar, arguably the best player in Toronto history, paid tribute to the physical therapy staff who kept many players upright when he called them the MVPs of the camp. So it was alternating grins and grimaces as the camp carried on. Like Katryne Mann of Toronto, the only woman and the camp, who struggled through a quad pull but still man- aged to run the bases for her dad, Ed. “He mentioned the camp to me and I said, ‘Ok, we’re going to do this, so I booked both of us.” It was an early 65th birthday gift for Ed, who had coached his daughter for many years and finally realized the dream of play- ing with her. For Mike Bradlow, 40, of North York, the $1,000-a-day camp under the Florida sun will register high on his all-time experience list. When he sums up his life somewhere down the line, his five days hanging out with Cito Gaston, 12-time All-Star Roberto Alo- mar and American League MVP George Bell will rank just below marriage and children. “When I’m on my death bed and it’s all said and done, I’ll look back on these five days as some of the best five days of my life. It will be in the top 10 or 20 memories for sure.” And while the $5,000 price tag seems high, Bradlow said it was good value. “When you consider what you got, it was worth every dime. The (former Blue Jay) players were very patient with us, the food was great and the experience just a lot of fun. It’s not nearly as expensive as some of the fantasy hockey camps.” He admits he was a bit star-struck at first because the former stars that coached the campers were winning the World Series when he was a teenager.

Doyousometimes feel thatyoucan hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television.Fortunately,there maybea solutionforsome peopledealingwith thistypeof hearinglosswiththe Audéo Venture hearing aid which has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehensionwithoutbeing noticeable inthe ear. Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range.This means the sensory cells in the cochleathathear high-rangesounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders,diabetes,suddenhearingloss orworkplace noise.Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s,f,t, k,handg. Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music.The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem.They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation.However, the timesoon comes when problemswith comprehension become annoying. PhonakAudéoVentureHearingAids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehensionforthosewithhearing lossinthehigh-frequencyrange.People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so.

These values arethen programmed into the hearing aids,which precisely take into accountandbalance thefrequency rangeofthepersonbeingtested. The demonstrationphase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearingaid technologycalled“Autosense OS” plays.The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered andtheoptimum hearingprogramsare seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones,thehearing system can detectsound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds.

Chances are that by the time the diagnosis is finally made, you have already been caring for your parent for quite some time. The toll that caring for a declining parent can take on your life can be immense, but many people are hesitant to talk about it because we don’t want to be seen as selfish. After all, your parent is ill with an incurable disease, shouldn’t you be thinking about him/her? The answer is ... of course you should. How- ever, you also need to think about yourself. Self-care is very important as you care for your aging and, possibly, declining parent. If you don’t take care of yourself, you will not be able to take care of anyone else. Dementia is a thief. It robs your parent of his/her life and history. As the disease pro- gresses, your parent is likely to forget many things about his/her life. They may forget that they were married or had grandchildren. They may even forget you and there is nothing you can do about it. You become the parent and they become the child. Caring for your par- ent through this process and having to watch the decline is heartbreaking. Trying to navi- gate the health-care system is stressful at the best of times and being the person responsible for making sure that your parent has the care that they need and that they do not run out of money before they die is daunting. If all of that weren’t enough, you still have to work for a living, unless you’re retired, and if you have children of your own, you have to continue to be there for them. There is often very little room left for taking care of you. But you need to make sure that you take yourself away from it all for a little while each day or, at minimum, a couple of times per week. I would also suggest speaking with some- one about your experiences and how you are feeling about it all. The Alzheimer’s Society of Canada and Durham Hospice are two organi- zations that offer support. You no longer have the parent that raised you and you need to grieve that loss while still managing everything on your plate. I hope you have great support as you travel this road.

Oshawa Mandarin serves up financial support to Durham Outlook Tabitha Reddekop treddekop@durhamregion.com Restaurant adds $2,000 toward new building that will house services under one roof OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Man- darin restaurant will donate $2,000 to Durham Outlook’s building fund in response to Durham Outlook’s call for com- munity support. The money will go toward the completion of the building, which is currently $1.2 million short of the needed funds. The $3-million building campaign is a three-year project for the facility that provides resources, such as food, to those in need. The new building will com- bine all the Durham Outlook programs under one roof, such as St. Vincent Pallotti’s Kitchen, food distribution program, the Community Chest and support centre. The building is scheduled to be completed this fall at 227 Simcoe St. S. According to Durham Out- look, Oshawa has the highest rates of unemployment, low- income households and pover- ty-related health issues in the region. The Mandarin will hand over the cheque at a lunchtime pre- sentation at the restaurant on April 7.
