The Region’s health department was notified of the positive tests after samples were collected on Aug. 8 from a perma- nent mosquito trap sites in Ajax. The positive confirmation was received by the health department on Aug. 11. “As positive mosquito results have been confirmed locally, it’s important for area residents to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites and remove standing water from their properties,” said Ross MacEach- ern, manager, environmental health with the health department. The virus is a mosquito-borne disease that is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on the blood of a bird that carries the virus. It can’t be passed from person to person or from bird to person. Most people who contract the virus experience mild illness including fever, headache, body ache, nausea, vomiting and rash on the chest, stomach or back. More serious symptoms can include mus- cle weakness, stiff neck, confusion, trem- ors, numbness and sudden sensitivity to light. Symptoms usually develop between two and 15 days after being bitten by an infect- ed mosquito. The risk of becoming infect- ed is low, but residents should take pre- cautions to minimize the risk of mosquito bites and the possibility of being infected with WNV: • Wear shoes, socks and light-coloured clothing, including long sleeve tops and full-length pants, when outside especial- ly at dusk or dawn when mosquitoes are most active. • Use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin, following Health Canada’s safety tips on using personal insect repel- lents. • Remove standing water from your prop- erty where mosquitoes can breed. • Ensure that window and door screens are in good repair to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. The health department sets mosquito traps across the Region and submits mos- quitoes for laboratory testing every week between June and September. In addition, Regional catch basins and other stagnant water sites are treated with a larvicide to reduce mosquito breeding. For more information on WNV, call the health department’s Environmental Help Line at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777-9613 or visit durham.ca/westnile.

Durham Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son said, “It’s always good to have news out of Queen’s Park and today you brought good news.” The Province, through Metrolinx, and Durham have been building bus-only lanes along Hwy. 2 for the PULSE service, which runs from Oshawa to the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus. The $10 million will pay for an environ- mental assessment to enhance the service in Durham and extend the service to the Scar- borough Town Centre. In an interview, Mr. Anderson said, “It’s good news for Durham. We can move for- ward with the EA. It’s a big project.” The EA would take up to two years to com- plete. “Now, we have the money, we can move forward,” Mr. Anderson noted. “It’s great news. It’s a bit of a surprise. We’re always ready to move transit forward. For us, it’s a big step forward. We have the funding and we can start it. It’s a big step, a really big step.” If the lanes are built, land acquisition would be needed. “We might even have to move the bus off Hwy. 2. There’s pinch points,” he added, pointing to Pickering Village in Ajax and along Hwy. 2 in Whitby. During the ceremonies to open the bus lanes, Mr. Del Duca said, “This project is so crucial to the quality of life here in Durham.” “I’m fond of saying our province is truly in the midst of a transit renaissance,” he said. “We want to ensure every corner of the prov- ince grows.” Expanding transit means attracting jobs, economic growth and helping the environ- ment, he added. The new lanes run 900 metres from west of Liverpool to Glenanna. The construction work for the entire stretch will be completed in 2018. Mr. Anderson noted Durham is “compet- ing for jobs, so we can’t rest. We’re expand- ing GO east to Bowmanville, with four stops.” Opening the bus-only lanes means it “truly is a big day for Durham. It’s also a big day for the PULSE service,” he said, adding having more lanes will mean “more frequent and faster service.” The PULSE service has buses going along every seven-and-a-half minutes during morning and evening rush hours. Mr. Anderson said since the bus rapid transit ridership has increased 50 per cent since it was implemented. “Hwy. 2 is the heart of our system,” he said. “Since 2006, we have carried 11 million rid- ers. That’s proof as the service is increased, people will use it.” Pickering Regional Councillor David Pick- les said, “Our downtown is undergoing a dramatic transformation. The Province kick started it with the pedestrian bridge. With BRT, our downtown will be even more accessible. Together, we are building a stron- ger community.” Re q u e s t a s t o r y em a i l a n e d i t o r n e w s r o o m @ d u r h a m r e g i o n . c o m HAKKA FUSION CHINESE RESTAURANT L.L.B.O. • DINE IN • TAKE OUT • DELIVERY 1670 KINGSTON RD.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 columnGetting Durham Region entrepreneurs to the next level Durham College’s plan to build the Centre for Collaborative Education marks a new chap- ter in the remarkable story of entrepreneurship in Durham Region. A legacy project tied to the college’s 50th anniversary in 2017, the centre will include new entrepreneurial, innovation and creative spaces, and will expand opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Recent studies show that 90 per cent of Durham Region enterprises (excluding retail) are small businesses, and 60 per cent are considered micro enterprises with just four employees or less. Small businesses account for the majority of employment opportunities in our com- munity and have tremendous influence over our economy. This is why Durham College continues to sharpen its focus on entrepreneurship through the CFCE and our office of research services, inno- vation and entrepreneurship, which includes FastStart DC, an entrepreneur- ship centre for students. It’s more critical now than ever before to help entrepreneurs not only launch their businesses successfully, but grow and sustain them as well. While the number of small businesses in Durham Region continues to surge, so do the challenges they face. One-third of micro enterprises don’t survive beyond two years, and small businesses in gen- eral make up a lower proportion of fast- growing companies. Established entre- preneurs are also aging, which sudden- ly puts succession planning at the top of their lists. Our faculty is working with entrepre- neurs every day, teaching them busi- ness fundamentals and mentoring them through each stage of their journey, from identifying the problem their product will solve to defining their customer, and even pitching to investors. By develop- ing and practising these skills, student entrepreneurs can improve their likeli- hood of success. We are also partnering with entrepre- neurs to develop customized solutions through applied research and innova- tion, including developing prototypes, evaluating new technologies, and cre- ating and improving products and pro- cesses. By continuing to find new ways to solve problems, entrepreneurs can grow and thrive. Through our partnerships with local organizations, we’re exposing new entrepreneurs to the practical skills they need, and established entrepreneurs to the opportunities they require, such as how to access markets beyond Durham Region. We are also teaching entrepre- neurs that it’s okay to fail -- that’s right, fail -- but to do it quickly and then pick themselves up and keep going. Finally, we’re building a fresh supply of bright, entrepreneurial minds who are prepared to take the reins and keep momentum going for businesses that are already suc- ceeding in our community and beyond. Successful entrepreneurs make for successful economies, and Durham Col- lege is committed to supporting Durham Region in achieving both. -- Debbie McKee Demczyk is dean, office of research services, innovation and entrepreneurship, Durham College Debbie mcKee Demczyk Guest columnist If you have children involved in out- door sports, you’ve probably noticed an onslaught of mosquitoes in recent weeks. The same holds true for residents who enjoy spending any amount of time outside, especially in the late afternoons and evenings. Mosquito season is in full swing. So it should come as no surprise that Durham Region has recorded its first positive cases of West Nile virus. The Region’s health department was notified of the positive tests after samples were collected on Aug. 8 from a permanent mosquito trap site in Ajax. The positive confirmation was received by the health department on Aug. 11. WNV, a mosquito-borne disease, is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on the blood of a bird that carries the virus. The disease is not passed from person to person or from bird to person. The virus isn’t new. It was first identi- fied in Uganda in 1937. It didn’t become well known in North America until the 1990s when a number of outbreaks occurred, most notably one in New York City in 1999. While most people don’t give WNV a second thought, it can cause serious ill- ness. Symptoms include fever, head- ache, body aches, skin rash, and swol- len lymph glands. Severe symptoms may include stiff neck, sleepiness, disorien- tation, coma, tremors, convulsions, and paralysis. Most cases of WNV are mild and go unreported. But the elderly and young are more susceptible and should be pro- tected against mosquito bites. The best way to prevent the spread of the virus is to reduce the amount of standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs. “As positive mosquito results have been confirmed locally, it’s important for area residents to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites and remove standing water from their properties,” said Ross MacEachern, manager, environmental health with the health department. Other ways to reduce the possibility of being exposed to WNV include taking precautions such as wearing shoes, socks and light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and full-length pants when out- side, especially overnight between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active; ensure doors and windows have screens that are tight-fitting and in good repair; keep grass, shrubs and hedges trimmed; turn over compost piles regu- larly; and use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin. Nobody likes getting sick, especially if it can be prevented. If you find yourself outdoors at a sporting event or a family outing or if you’re just walking your dog, be careful and take precautions. Mos- quitoes are one of the most annoying insects around. Don’t let them ruin what remains of your summer.

Police were called to Brock Road, in Wilfrid just west of Cannington, at roughly 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 5. They found a white Grand Marquis aban- doned in a ditch. A group of four teens reported that they were walking north on Brock Road in the northbound land when they heard several honks from a car. They say the driver then revved the engine and the car barreled for them heading southbound. The driver turned on his high beams and accel- erated directly at the teens, they reported. The teens jumped into a ditch on the east side of the road as the car sped past and the Grand Marquis ended up in a ditch about 500 metres away on the west side. The driver fled and left the car behind. Police responded with the K9 team and searched the area, but did not find the driver. The licence plates on the car were not registered to the vehicle. Anyone with information about the case should call Constable Finley of the North Divi- sion at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2017. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Region- al 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.

Reason 2 :“Eco friendly” Foam All our furniture is made soy based foam. This is a new breakthrough in foam technoogy. It eliminates the CFCs and methylene chloride emissions, giving you a peace of mind, knowing that no harmful chemicals will be emitted into your home. It reduces energy consumption, green house emissions and the need for non-renewable petrochemical resources. Reason 3:Laminated Soft Caps Most cushions appear to flatten very quickly since they are wrapped with an inferior fiber wrap product. We have replaced most of the fiber wrap with superior super-soft laminated foam caps to provide the softness of fiber, and the “spring back” of foam. We only use the absolute minimum fiber required to soften the edges. Reason 4 :Spring Spacing Typically a 3 seat sofa has 15 springs. Our sofas have 21 springs including the Z- spring system. These extra springs ensure comfort and quality performance. Reason 5 :Frame Construction and Support Our frames are made from hardwood and engineered materials. Just try lifting one end of our sofas and feel the weight difference to lesser quality frames. In addition we use 5 hardwood stretcher support rails under a three seater sofa. This prevents twisting, warping or broken frames from the typical standard that has only 2 stretcher supports. 5 reasons why...Our furniture is more comfortable 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 • Au g u s t 1 7 , 2 0 1 6 13 AP Friday, August 26 and Saturday, August 27, 2016 2 D a y s !

PICKERINGTOWN CENTRE Lower Level Centre Court 2016 Letters to the editor Stolen phones leave Wonderland patrons upset To the editor: My son and two of his friends, 15, 14 and 11 years old, had their belongings stolen after going on a ride at Wonder- land. They later found their bags without their money or their cellphones. One of the kids saw the guy who had been holding their bags but he ran away with the phones. Reporting this issue to the security, they admitted that it’s happening a lot and they had on that day (Aug. 9) at 2 p.m. 23 reports of lost phones. I asked them if there was any process, such as reviewing cameras or any other procedures, to combat thefts. They replied there was nothing they could do. We reported this to the York police giving them a description of the thief. Of course I know the chance of getting anything back is almost none but I need everyone to know it’s not safe to leave your stuff anywhere before going on rides at Wonderland, even in the desig- nated areas. You should also be around your kids even if they are 15 years old. Adel Ibrahim Ajax Police need help To the editor: The ongoing attacks on police seem end- less. We are forgetting that they are the thin blue line between us and complete chaos. Look around the world to find examples of mayhem. Certain groups seem to think it is open season on cops and it some kind of game. Our freedom and security depend on the police no matter what you think. Every company and organization has some bad apples in the barrel. Get over it, this is the real world. Too bad that the blamers always go off half-cocked without checking any of the facts and are happy to perpetuate mis- information. I am not in any way connected with law enforcement. I just feel we are beginning to back the police less and less and is a very sad comment on our times. By the way it is time to fit every policeman on duty with a bodycam, perhaps we would have a reli- able witness on some very necessary occa- sions. John Moffitt Pickering Judge hands down foolish ruling: reader To the editor: Re: ‘Racial profiling exists in our society, says lawyer for woman pulled over by Dur- ham Region cop’, news, Aug. 4 I am writing to express my outrage and exasperation about Justice Charney’s ruling that this police officer had “no reason to stop the car” and that he somehow committed “serious Charter violations” in investigating the car and occupants. Police work is based to some degree on following your gut and having a feeling that something just isn’t right. This officer saw something that clearly did not look right, took initiative, investigated the car and occupants and voila; he located a quantity of illegal drugs! That’s some pretty good police work I would say. But somehow the judge has turned the case around and made the police out to be the bad guys, dismissed the drug evidence in the case and ultimately the charges were dropped. Bad guy walks free; hard-working street cop is now in the spotlight. I am pretty confident that the silent major- ity of the law-abiding citizens in this com- munity would agree with me. If we truly want safer communities free of drugs and crime we must take a hard look at some of the judg- es who are handing down such foolish rul- ings. Simply put, our community deserves better. Jamie Bramma Whitby Everyone is entitled to a difference of opinion To the editor: Re:’Durham Region should embrace all members of its community’, editorial, July 3 I believe we all have the freedom to choose who, where or what we believe, and not be persecuted for that choice. I do not support the Gay Pride Parade. See- ing the lewdness and voyeurism displayed there is not something I choose to embrace. I know of gay people who won’t endorse it. My 27-year-old niece who lives in Toronto says she’s tired of seeing lewd and nude bodies on bulletins throughout Toronto advertising the parade. I believe gay people should be treated fair- ly and with respect. Should I too be treated respectfully for my choice? Intolerance works both ways. I would like to see the word ‘intol- erance’ changed to ‘a difference of opinion’. As for Rob Ford (who, by the way, can’t defend himself), had a difference of opin- ion. As for our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Our ‘Hollywood’ Canadian); we all know he flies around the country getting his ‘photo- ops’ in on the taxpayers’ dollar. Ultimately, everyone is entitled to ‘a differ- ence of opinion’.

Families can relish every last drop of summer in Durham Homemade burgers and fresh toppings By Matt Ness With summer in full effect, gardens in full bloom and decks in full sun, there’s no bet- ter time to be outside on the barbecue grill- ing up some fantastic flavours and family favourites. Nothing says summer, family and fun more than a juicy, grilled, homemade burger. Kids and adults of all ages and from all walks of life can relate to the way a hot burger on a hot day makes you feel. And for a great burger, you need a great patty and some equally great condiments. Here are a couple of my favourite recipes to make you want to skip those chain restaurants, stay home and make your own. Homemade Burgers All too often parents are retreating to fast- food restaurants for a burger that inevita- bly is chock-full of who knows what, was cooked who knows when, was handled by who knows how many people and in the end costs way more than what it’s actually worth. When you design a burger that is meant to be cooked fast, served fast and eaten fast, you cut corners, add preservatives, binders and fillers, and skip over the best part about the burger: the meat. In my burgers, it’s just that. No fillers, no addi- tions, no stabilizers, just good old-fash- ioned flavour. What’s not to love? The best part about making your own is the control you have over what is going into the stom- achs of you and your family. The ingredi- ents are natural and nothing you wouldn’t normally feed your kids. Or is the best part the juicy, melt-in-your-mouth flavour? I’ll let you be the judge. Sometimes you want something a little different than a traditional beef burger, so I’ve included two recipes: one is a classic, and the other has a bit more international flare. I like to serve mine with condiments like lettuce, tomato, cheese, vegetable rel- ishes, avocado or spicy mayo, on top of or replacement for the standard ketchup, mustard and relish. Serves: Each recipe makes 4 burger pat- ties Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes All-beef burger patties 1 lb lean ground beef one-half red onion, diced one-half bunch parsley, chopped 2 tbsp ketchup 1 tbsp mustard 1 tsp salt one-half tsp pepper Spicy Asian chicken burger patties 1 lb ground chicken one-half bunch green onions, sliced one-half bunch cilantro, chopped 1 tbsp plum sauce 1 tsp chili flakes 1 tsp soy sauce one-half tsp powdered ginger 1. Preheat grill to 450 degrees. 2. Put all ingredients into a large bowl and mix well using your hands. Really mash it together to ensure that the fat from the meat is well distributed. 3. Divide the mixture evenly into 4 and roll into a tight ball. 4. If you have a burger press, use it, but if not just use your hands and shape them into burgers. You want the burger to be slightly wider in circumference than the bun you are using because the meat will shrink slightly as it cooks. 5. Place patties on hot grill and close the lid. 6. After about 2 minutes, open the lid and quarter turn the patties. Close the lid again. 7. After another 2 minutes, flip them over to reveal perfect crosshatch grill marks. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until both sides are seared and clear juices are running from the meat. 9. Shut off the barbecue and let them sit for an additional 5 minutes to rest. 10. Place on buns and serve.

TIP: These burgers freeze very well, just place your raw pressed burger between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper, wrap and freeze up to three months. TIP: You can also use ground pork or lamb instead of beef or chicken. Stoplight zucchini relish Around this time of year, zucchinis are rampant through the grocery store. They are very cheap to purchase, and ever cheaper and easier to grow your own. They come in many different shapes and sizes, the smaller of which are best for grilling, sautéing and eating fresh. The larger ones, however, are perfect for mak- ing crowd pleasers like zucchini bread and muffins, but I find them best for mak- ing relish. This sweet-and-sour, chunky condi- ment is perfect for crackers, potato salad, hot dogs and, of course, burgers. It is dif- ferent from typical relish in terms of fla- vour, texture, freshness and overall eye appeal and, some would argue, tastes way better. Yields: approx. 2 litres / 4 pints Prep Time: 30 minutes Inactive Time: min. 3 hours or overnight Cook Time: 20 minutes 12 cups (about 4 lbs) green and yellow zucchini, diced 1 cm 4 large white onions, diced 3 red bell peppers, diced one-half cup kosher or pickling salt 3 cups sugar 2 and one-half cups vinegar 2 tsp celery seed (not celery salt!) 2 tsp mustard seed 1 tsp chile flakes 1 tsp tumeric 2 tbsp corn starch 1. Combine all vegetables including zucchini, onions and peppers in a large bowl and toss with salt. 2. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but overnight works just as well if you plan on making it the next day. 3. Rinse zucchini mixture well under water and drain. 4. Combine all other ingredients in a large pot except the cornstarch and bring to a rapid boil. 5. Add in vegetables, return to the boil, reduce heat to a hard simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes. 6. Mix cornstarch with a touch of water and add to pot, stirring frequently until thickened. Remove from heat. 7. Let it cool and refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or can it in jars to keep indefinite- ly. TIP: Try making this recipe in a larger batch and canning it for gifts, or just so you can eat it over the winter. TIP: If you don’t have celery seed, just dice half a head of celery and mix in with vegetables when salting. It is a very important ingredient. -- Chef Matthew Ness has been cooking in some of the best restaurants in the GTA for 12 years.
