We need some honest people on there.” The seat has been vacant since the death of ward 3 city Councillor Rick Johnson on Sept. 27. Ward 3 is the area in which the federal government is considering build- ing an airport, a sensitive topic to many residents who live nearby. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland PICKERING — Shaheen Butt, who was the runner-up to the late ward 3 city councillor Rick Johnson, was appointed to the empty seat at the Nov. 21 Pickering council meeting.

Region cautions homeowners not to put such items in the garbage DURHAM -- Following two incidents where waste collectors were stuck by used hypodermic needles, the Region is urging residents not to put such items in the gar- bage. “In the past six months, we have had two instances of waste collection operators being injured by a used hypodermic nee- dle in a garbage bag,” Craig Bartlett, man- ager of waste operations, said in a state- ment. “This is a serious issue that affects the safety of not only workers, but also their families, by potentially exposing them to diseases such as hepatitis or HIV. We urge residents to safely dispose of used hypo- dermic needles by returning them to a local pharmacy, free of charge.” In an interview, Bartlett didn’t want to say in which municipalities the incidents occurred. “Our message is to all residents about the proper management of these difficult to handle materials,” Bartlett said. The Region’s works department noted in a release that objects that can cut skin and come in contact with bodily fluids, such as hypodermic needles, syringes, EpiPens or lancets (also known as sharps) should never be disposed of in the garbage or recycling. To properly dispose of these items: • Take back used sharps to a local pharma- cy free of charge. • Sharps must be returned in an approved sharps container. Containers are distribut- ed free of charge at local pharmacies. • Visit www.healthsteward.ca to find a par- ticipating pharmacy. In both incidents, the homeowners were notified, Bartlett noted. “They were very upset at what had hap- pened. They certainly didn’t do it with any purpose. They were warned and fined,” he added. They were each fined $125 for setting out prohibitive material. The workers went to a hospital to be checked out. “People need to realize it can impact someone’s life,” Bartlett said, adding they need to have a “consideration of the impacts.” The Region’s waste management bylaw states that owners/occupants aren’t allowed to put out any waste that could pose a health and/or safety hazard to any person.

Police said people called 911 to report a white Toyota SUV had knocked over construction pylons in a park- ing lot, had almost hit other cars and was stopped in the middle of the intersection of Kingston and Brock roads in Pickering. The incident happened at about 11 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 in front of the Durham police station. Officers had to box in the vehicle in order to stop it. Police struggled with the driver and he was able to put the vehicle into gear while officers were holding his arm. He accelerated, knocking two officers aside and ram- ming the cruiser parked in front. After climbing the curb, the SUV traveled a short distance before stopping. An arrest was made after a brief struggle. Two officers suffered minor injuries that did not require medical attention, while damage to one cruiser is about $3,000. Kashif Hussain, 39, of Brockley Drive in Scarborough, has been charged with impaired driving, exceeding 80 mgs, dangerous driving and two counts of failing to remain. He was later released on a promise to appear. *Must spend $250 or more,before taxes,at Pickering Town Centre stores and services. Receipts must be dated for Friday,November 25, 2016.

More than 1,000 vehicles were stopped and checked during the first week of the campaign, which aims to com- bat drunk driving during the holidays. The RIDE team set up check points in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Courtice during the first week. In addition to 19 motorists charged with drinking and driving offences, another 19 drivers were given three- day licence suspensions for registering warning read- ings on roadside breathalyzer devices. One novice driver received a 24-hour suspension, and two G1 and G2 driv- ers were found to have breached their zero alcohol condi- tion.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 column According to Wikipedia, the dog’s ancestors are apparent- ly the “Old World Wolves” and not the “Modern Wolves”. This fact was discovered with the help of DNA and dog skeletons found in France dating back to 26,000 Before Present. Skeletons were also found in Russia dat- ing back to 33,000 BP and in Germany dating back to 14,000 BP. These figures tend to vary based on specific regions within the countries. The dog skeletons were found near human skeletons, indi- cating a close relationship between the two. That means that the dog became man’s best friend thousands of years ago. It is proposed that some old world wolves were either too old, too weak or too docile to hunt for food and there- fore checked out other, easier sourc- es by venturing close to the caves where humans made their homes. The humans, being curious by nature, tossed some leftover food to the wolves and slowly man and wolf got to know each other. A trust was created and a bond between both man and wolf evolved. As the wolf became domes- ticated, he became known as the dog and ever since the dog became a helper in dog sledding, a watchdog to ward off intruders and, most of all, a loyal com- panion for life. Today we see signs on apartment buildings that say ‘No dogs allowed’. The good thing is though, that in Ontar- io, by law, dogs are allowed in apart- ment buildings. It is only an issue if a dog is dangerous or becomes a prob- lem to other tenants. In such a case, the dog may have to be removed. What is puzzling though is that there was and is a need for dog prisons, known as dog shelters. The dogs really live behind bars in cages. Humans managed to cage the once-free old world wolf, for various reasons, none of those were the fault of the affected dogs. When we look into the dogs’ eyes, we note that they do not look sheltered; they look forlorn, hopeless, desperate and helpless. The dog people tried to do what they could to help those aban- doned dogs, but there is always a better way to house our four-legged compan- ions. There are “New Guinea singing dogs” in zoos all over the world, because they can no longer survive in the wild. Per- haps we could have something new, a dog zoo and a cat zoo? The dogs and cats could still sleep inside in cages at night but roam free during the day in spacious fenced-in areas, with sepa- rate run sections for different com- patible breeds and would of course still be available for adoption. Petting areas may be an option to get close and acquainted with puppies and kittens. The Bowmanville Zoo property may be suitable for such an endeavor. This may be something for animal experts to look into and find better accommodations for man’s best friend. -- Renate Leis is a Cobourg resident. How about a dog zoo in Bowmanville? Renate leis Guest columnist ouR opinion With the holidays fast approaching, it is important to remember to be safe this holiday season, especially when alcohol is involved. As many of us attend Christ- mas parties and other festive functions it is important to plan ahead and make sure that getting home safely is a top pri- ority. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), there are approxi- mately 1,100 impairment related crash deaths a year in Canada, which equates to just over three deaths a day. Sadly, these numbers increase each year and so do the number of violations seen by the police. Police services across Canada report more than 90,000 impaired driv- ing incidents each year according to Sta- tistics Canada. Luckily not all of these incidents involve fatalities, but this num- ber is shocking, especially when you consider the amount of education that now exists regarding impaired driving. The OPP say that from January to Octo- ber this year, the number of alcohol involved occurrences are up three per cent over the same period last year. To combat these statistics, police forc- es will, as always, be running festive ride programs throughout the region. Com- munity members need to decide if they want to be part of these statistics or not. Durham Regional Police released the statistics from the first week of RIDE checks and the results are stagger- ing: Of the 1,021 drivers stopped, 19 were charged with drinking and driving offences while another 19 were given three day suspensions. Sixty two people were given roadside breath tests. These numbers are disgusting and show that drivers still aren’t getting the message. It really is simple – if you plan on drink- ing plan not to drive. Arrange for a desig- nated driver, call a friend to pick you up, stay over somewhere until you can drive safely, call a taxi or take public transpor- tation or call Operation Red Nose. With so many safe options it is hard to believe that there are still so many incidents and issues each year. Ultimately it is a personal decision, but this holiday season think about those around you before you get into the car and drive home after a few drinks. Think of the families you may be affecting if you cause an accident. Their Christmas is just as important as yours and they’d like to be able to get on the roads and not worry about the actions of others.

At the meeting on Nov. 21, council narrowly voted down a motion to call a byelection and chose to appoint Sha- heen Butt, who came second to Johnson in the 2014 general election. Butt will be sworn in at the December council meeting. “The real reason I’m not supporting a byelection is the cost,” said ward 1 Regional Councillor Kevin Ashe. He said an elected councillor would only serve for about a year before campaigning for the next general election begins. And since a byelection wouldn’t occur until late February or March, the seat could be vacant for six months after Johnson’s death. Coun. Ashe added winter elections historically have low voter turnout, and in the 2014 municipal election, ward 3 had the lowest number of people who went to the polls. “It would not be unheard of to have a byelection turn- out of less than 10 per cent,” he said. During the meeting, ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said “This is not a dictatorship where we get to appoint who we want” when he made a case for a byelec- tion. “It’s up to the people of ward 3 ... to vote for whomev- er’s going to represent them in the best fashion,” he said. Ward 1 city Councillor Maurice Brenner, who won his seat in January’s byelection, also supported residents electing their next councillor. “There are no consolation prizes for second place in politics,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan’s vote against a byelection created a tie, meaning the case for a byelection was off the table. “As people were asking us to spend their tax dollars judiciously it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to spend it that way,” he said after the meeting. He felt there would be a dismal turnout in a dead-of- winter byelection, compared to 32 per cent in the ward in the 2014 general election. He said the January 2016 voter turnout was just 14 per cent. He said had Johnson’s death occurred before he was sworn in, the Municipal Act would demand that the run- ner-up to the elected person automatically take the seat. “When I put all of that together, it was logical to me and I think it supports the best interest of the community as a whole to support the appointment that I did,” he said. Ward 3 Regional Councillor David Pickles opposed a byelection. He noted council has both appointed coun- cillors and held byelections in the past and felt Butt received sufficient support when he finished second. So he brought forward a motion for the appointment. Butt, a 15-year ward 2 resident, had received 22 per cent of the vote in the 2014 general election, compared to Johnson’s 57 per cent. Former ward 3 Regional councillor Peter Rodrigues, who is openly opposed to an airport, spoke at the meet- ing, and indicated council didn’t want a byelection for fear he would be re-elected. McGregor shared the same sentiments. “They’re all against Peter because he’s a guy at last who’s going to put in some honesty, because Peter’s an honest guy,” he said after the meeting. “I’m just fed up with it, as I sit there with my mouth shut. Enough is enough.” Coun. Ashe and Mayor Ryan told reporters they do not know Butt’s thoughts on a potential airport. Resident Angie Jones was not pleased with the appoint- ment. “We all want to know where he stands on an airport,” she said. “That’s what we want to know because Rick Johnson was always against it.” Butt attended the meeting but was not ready to share his thoughts on an airport. He could understand both sides of the heated debate over an appointment versus a byelection. “It was a battle and I understand the emotions that went through in ward 3,” he said. “I think what they fail to know is they don’t know me yet. I’m willing to fight for them, I’m willing to talk with them, I’m willing to repre- sent them. That’s what it’s all about.” PICKERING from page 1 Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland DURHAM -- Peter Rodrigues attended the council meet- ing on Nov. 21 to urge council to call a byelection for the Ward 3 city councillor seat, which has been vacant since the death of Rick Johnson.

The intersection is open! The Regional Municipality of Durham works department completed Durham’s first concrete pavement project last week, allow- ing the intersection to be re-opened to the public. The project was undertaken because the intersection of Bayly and Harwood was heav- ily rutted. As a result the Region chose to complete a pilot project of paving with con- crete instead of asphalt. “Concrete pavement has a longer lifes- pan than asphalt and will hold up better to heavy trucks and buses over time,” said Ben McWade, project manager “Concrete pave- ment also typically requires less mainte- nance than asphalt, which is great for this high-traffic, growing area.” The construction cost was $1.2 million, and the work took four months to complete. Motorists and pedestrians will notice that the concrete intersection is a much lighter colour than regular asphalt roads. Line mark- ings are slightly different in order for the paint to be more visible. There is black paint added underneath the white paint for turning lines. There is a lot of other road construction tak- ing place across Durham Region. If you know of a construction project in Durham Region that’s slowing you down, let us know by e-mailing newsroom@durhamregion.com.

Work will resume in the spring and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2017. Unfavourable weath- er conditions may influence the work sched- ule.

WIdE SELECTION Of GAmE ROOm fuRNITuRE Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Jurors in the murder trial of Feraidon Ibrahem have been given an intimate glimpse into the man accused of killing his wife -- and the dynamics of their troubled marriage -- through the journals he kept. For the better part of his four days on the witness stand so far this week, Ibrahem has been guided by his lawyer, Fariborz Davoudi, through a painstaking review of personal writings, already entered by the Crown as evidence. The entries paint a picture of a man wracked by simmering resentment toward his wife, Nasira Fazli, as well as insecurities about his inability to financially support his family. The entries, which span the time from Ibrahem’s arrival in Canada in April 2013 to the days just prior to Fazli’s death in July of that year, indicate Ibrahem vac- illated between wanting to save his arranged marriage and yearning to be free of a wife he felt was bent on dominat- ing him. “A coward fears his wife,” Ibrahem wrote in one instance. “Hurry up and work is women’s policy here,” read another. In yet another entry Ibrahem wrote, “To argue and fight. That’s become the habit of your wife ... she wants to show herself higher than she stands ... she wants to keep me restless and harass me”. Ibrahem explained through an interpret- er he felt as if Fazli was trying to mold him into the husband she desired. “I meant that she’s always ordering me around and she wants to control me,” he testified. Court has heard that Fazli and Ibrahem entered into an arranged marriage in 2010 and that Ibrahem joined her in Ajax three years later. Cracks in the union quickly appeared; Ibrahem, trained as a doctor in Afghanistan, couldn’t get accreditation here and Fazli was soon disillusioned, saying Ibrahem wasn’t the man she’d thought he was. Ibrahem appears to have been frustrated by cultural differences he experienced here, and irritated at what he saw as his wife’s controlling ways. Just three months after Ibrahem’s arriv- al, Fazli was stabbed to death in their Torr Lane home. Ibrahem has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. While his journals often reflected anger and frustration, they also revealed a man who was anxious about finding employ- ment and supporting the household. In his writings he chided himself about lazi- ness, vowed to learn English, and worried about presenting himself as a confident, self-assured man who would be respect- ed by others. Ibrahem also mused in his journals about how to calm the sometimes stormy seas at home. “Be patient with your wife,” he wrote. “Let it go. Bury the dispute, try to develop this habit. Then look how life will change once you’ve changed.” The trial continues in Oshawa. Journals reflect resentment, insecurities of man accused of killing wife in Ajax Submitted photo DURHAM -- Feraidon Ibrahem and Nasira Fazli in 2013. Ibrahem is on trial for the mur- der of Fazli, his wife, who was stabbed to death in their Ajax home in July 2013. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 12 AP Fri Nov 25 – Sun Nov 27 220 WATER STREET WHITBY, ONT.

These five energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet. 1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought. 2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weather-strip- ping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat. 3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold. Add insula- tion to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consump- tion. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal perfor- mance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protection from fire, mois- ture and unwanted noise. Adding insula- tion is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy ef- ficiency. 4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the cur- tains closed to form a barrier from the cold. 5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.

Even when the housing market declines, long-term investors in real estate can rest easy knowing that property values tend to rebound rather quickly, rewarding patient investors in the process. Looking at real estate as a long-term investment is just one way ap- proach a potential investment property. The following are a few addition- al considerations prospective investors should contemplate before buy- ing an investment property. Location Many people are familiar with the real estate industry axiom, “location, location, location!” When buying an investment property, location is ev- erything. A great location should outweigh your own personal feelings about the home, especially if you do not intend to live at the property. You will likely define a great location for an investment property differently than you would a property you intend to live in, so don’t let your own desires in a home cloud your judgement when choosing an investment property. Properties in safe neighborhoods that boast good schools and offer easy access to public transportation tend to make great investment properties. Décor Décor is another thing to consider when looking for an investment prop- erty. If you don’t plan to reside in the property, your opinion of the décor should not carry much weight. When viewing a property, try to imagine how much it might appeal to prospective tenants. Quirky properties typi- cally do not appeal to as many prospective tenants as properties whose décor are similar to other homes in the area. Though you might find a ten- ant who prefers properties with unique interiors, a property that appeals to as many prospective tenants as possible often makes for a better in- vestment and a lot less stress when the time comes to find tenants. Condition The condition of the property also must be considered before buying an investment property. Some investors want a fixer-upper, while others prefer turnkey proper- ties that won’t require any elbow grease. The former type of property likely won’t cost as much as a fully renovated property, but those cost savings might be lost when it’s time to renovate. Find a property that’s in the type of condition you’re com- fortable with. If you decide to go with a fixer-upper, learn the cost of your potential projects before submitting an offer. Cost Real estate makes a great investment, but don’t go overboard when buying an investment property. Before making an offer on a property, re- search rents in the area and the cost of insurance in that particular neigh- borhood. You want a property that essentially pays for itself, so make sure the rent you’re likely to collect is enough to cover your monthly costs, including the mortgage on the property, insurance and the costs associ- ated with managing and maintaining the property. Real estate investors often reap great rewards when selling their prop- erties. But it’s still important for potential investors to consider a host of factors before investing in a property.

To the editor: Do you have any advice on how to orga- nize a protest? I am really angry about the fact that Ontario produces more hydro than we need and we are paying the U.S. to take the excess. Our hydro rates are sky- rocketing. Now I get my Enbridge bill and starting in January we have to pay the cap-and-trade tariff. It is time for the citizens of Ontario to stand up and say enough is enough. Pre- mier Kathleen Wynne has to be told and has to stop disregarding us. Marjorie Seymour Pickering Minister of health should treat both hospital boards equally To the editor: Re: Building a stronger health-care system in Durham, column, Nov. 9 I was rather disappointed in Dr. Eric Hoskins recent rather shallow column, regarding the takeover of the Ajax -Pickering hospital. He states that Bowmanville hospital is not closing on his watch (period). Just how long does he think “his watch” is going to be? Any realist should know that two years will likely be the max. Then what? He does not explain why Scarborough got a new hospital board, while Ajax-Pickering hospital is being merged into an existing unbalanced hospital board. What are we, “chopped liver”? He makes the ridiculous assumption that because 60 per cent of Lak- eridge Health board live or work in west Dur- ham that we will be properly represented. “Poppycock”. Their loyalties lie with the exist- ing board; that’s why they are there in the first place, otherwise they would be on the Ajax- Pickering hospital board. As Ajacians, I am not as opposed to the merger as I am with the improper balance on the board. Not even necessarily now, but in the future with a new government or man- agement. Let’s be realistic, change is inevitable in hospital management and governments; so Dr. Hoskins, please do what is right and treat us all equally.

This month’s experts are registered dietitian Krista Witherspoon and infection control professional Judy McCarten. Q. What’s a good timeline for baby’s first food? What should we start with, what order and how often? -- Nikki, Brooklin A. Most babies are ready for solid foods around six months of age. Waiting too long after six months can increase your baby’s chances of having an iron deficiency and food allergies. The following are signs that your baby is ready: • Seems hungry earlier than usual • Can sit up with some support, and has good control of neck muscles • Opens his mouth when he sees the food coming • Holds food in his mouth without push- ing it out on the tongue right away There are just a few ‘food rules’ to keep in mind when starting your baby on solid foods. Aside from these, you can make the decisions that are right for your family. These recommendations are important: • Start with foods that contain iron, including meat, poultry, cooked egg yolk, well-cooked legumes like beans, lentils, chick peas or store-bought iron-fortified infant cereals mixed with breast milk or iron-fortified formula (iron is so important for your baby’s development) • Go ahead and offer foods like peanut products, fish or eggs around six months (this may prevent your child from develop- ing allergies!) • When introducing foods that are com- mon food allergens, offer one new food per day and wait two days before you introduce another (this makes it easier to identify a food that may have caused a reaction) • Feeding the same new food to babies several times per week helps the baby build tolerance • Don’t give honey to babies under one year old, as there is a risk of infant botulism (food poisoning). Follow your baby’s cues. Start by offer- ing a teaspoon or two of pureed food. Don’t rush and don’t push it. Some babies need to try a new food many times before accepting it. If she’s not hungry, she’ll turn her head and close her mouth. If she’s hun- gry, she’ll get excited and open up, asking for more. Letting your baby take the lead about how much to eat gives her a chance to recognize her own hunger cues. This is the beginning of developing a healthy rela- tionship with food, and she is less likely to overeat later in life. Moving from mushy foods to those with more textures is another exciting mile- stone. Timing often depends on your indi- vidual baby’s development. Use this as a guide: 1. Your baby’s development: Sits with support; Number of meals: 2-3 times a day*; Type of food: Puréed, mashed food and semi-solid foods. 2. Your baby’s development: Sits on own; Number of meals: 2-3 times a day*; Type of food: Family foods, small amounts of soft mashed foods without lumps. 3. Your baby’s development: Crawls; Number of meals: 3-4 times a day*; Type of food: Family foods, ground or soft mashed foods with tiny soft lumps, crunchy foods that dissolve such as whole grain crackers. 4. Your baby’s development: Walks; Num- ber of meals: 3 meals and 2 snacks a day*; Type of food: Coarsely chopped foods, foods with more texture,  toddler foods, bite-sized pieces of food, finger foods. * Plus breast milk, formula, or whole cow’s milk, depending on your child’s age. Remember -- every child is different in how they learn to eat. -- Krista Witherspoon, registered dietitian Q. Is there any way to prevent kids catching lice while its going around their school? -- Jennifer, Clarington A. Yes, and no. The only way to “catch’ lice is by direct hair-to-hair contact, or indirect contact with shared items such as hats, combs, brushes, hair ties, head- phones or hoodies/hooded jackets. You can help your child avoid the not-so- nice lice experience by teaching them these simple rules: • No sharing combs, brushes, hair accessories, hats or head- phones • No bor- r o w i n g hoodies, hooded jack- ets, helmets • No head- to-head con- tact (e.g., playing or working on projects) • Keep long hair tied up Lice infestations are common in school-aged children and not a sign of poor hygiene. The lice do not fly or jump, so they really depend on activities that involve head-to-head contact or shar- ing items that touch hair. Be aware of early signs and symptoms, such as itching and scratching on the head and/or neck. Treat- ment should begin as soon as possible to prevent more nits and further spread. Unfortunately, most schools still have a “no nit” exclusion policy which bars stu- dents from attending while undergoing treatment for lice. This practice is being debated in many districts, so check with your own school for its policy. The following websites have excel- lent information to guide you through the details needed to treat and remove the lice and nits (eggs). There are many methods used to treat and remove the lice and nits. Some people also choose to hire a “pay for service” treatment option to help with the ongoing attention and time that is need- ed to be completely certain the lice are all gone. • www.durham.ca/departments/health/ facts_about/pdf/pediculosis.pdf • www.ddsb.ca/school/blairridge/Par- entInformation/health- safety/head_lice_ information/Pages/ default.aspx -- Judy McCarten, infection control professional -- Got a ques- tion for one of Lakeridge Health’s experts?

However, about one in 100 children born in Canada will receive a diagnosis of autism. Early identification is key to a bright- er future for children and families with a diagnosis of autism. But what do you look for? Signs of autism are usually present as early as 6-12 months of age. The first thing to watch for is communication. Babies should show interest in babbling by 6-9 months of age and be working on point- ing at things between 9-12 months of age. “Pointing to request” should be present by 15 months of age and should be linked with eye contact and facial expression with the caregivers. Children should be attempting some words around their first birthday, too. Secondly, babies learn by imita- tion. Older babies should imitate sounds, facial expressions and games that you play with them such as peek-a-boo. They should anticipate with delight when their favou- rite adults interact with them. Responding to their name by 10-12 months is a critical milestone that helps doctors understand whether your baby has risk factors for autism. Babies should show visual regard for other children and adults and be inter- ested in faces.  What do you do if you are concerned? Make sure you attend all of the baby appointments with your doctor. Bring up concerns about social and language devel- opment. Ontario’s doctors are becoming experts in screening for autism. However if your “mommy (or daddy) gut” is telling you something is wrong, make sure your child is seen by a pediatrician. We have four developmental pediatri- cians with expertise centralized at Grand- view Children’s Centre. There is a close network of more than 20 additional pedi- atricians working with Grandview. Your family doctor can refer your child to one of them, but can also make a direct referral to Grandview’s developmental pediatrics team. Developmental pediatricians can usually make a diagnosis by 15-18 months of age. You can self-refer to Durham Preschool Speech and Language at 905-728-1673 at the first sign of concern with communica- tion and this should be done right away. Think about planning for your child to attend a centre-based high quality daycare or preschool for some part of their week. Lastly, learn about social communica- tion and how important it is, and work on this with your baby. Babies do not benefit from watching TV, tablets, phones or other electronics -- so turn those off! If your baby receives a diagnosis, there are many strategies and therapies avail- able -- but wait lists are a challenge so early identification is critical. -- Dr. Carolyn Hunt is a developmental pediatrician at Grandview Children’s Cen- tre and has been the medical director there since 2008. In 2015 she welcomed two devel- opmental pediatricians to join her practice at Grandview and as a result wait times for medical services have dropped from 12 months to three months. When not at Grandview, you will probably find Dr. Hunt at the rink cheering on the Whitby Wolves as she has had three daughters in competi- tive hockey for many years.

Free Fruitful memory booster This presidential elec- tion season aside, most humans dislike forgetting things. They especially dis- like forgetting things like cell phones, credit cards, appointments, and the loca- tion of our cars. For those of you who have forgotten an inordinate number of items in your lives, research offers hope. But let us start with a really depressing statement, com- pliments of “Science Daily”: “Synapses, connecting the neurons in our brains, continuously encode new memories, but the abil- ity to form new memories (“learning”) diminishes drastically for many of us, as we get older.” Now that we have con- firmed your darkest fears, it’s time to pull you from the brink: According to “Sci- ence Daily”, a group of scien- tists at the Free University of Berlin have discovered that, by administering a simple substance already found in our bodies, age-related syn- aptic changes can be halted. This means we can protect ourselves from age-induced memory impairment. The researchers discov- ered this by using the com- mon fruit fly.  This was because fruit flies also suf- fer from age-related mem- ory impairment. The key to age-related memory loss, it turns out, is a substance we all have in us: spermidine.   For those readers, LBL asks you to take a break in making smarmy jokes about what spremidine might be. Feeding the fruit flies a diet supplemented by sper- midine resulted in a nota- ble improvement in the fruit flies’ memories. Fruit flies were able to remember fruit they had eaten from decades back and remark that fruit just doesn’t taste the same anymore. What does all this mean for boomers? Hopefully, it’s only a matter of time before spermidine hits the market in all kinds of forms.   Of course, it’s too late for LBL’s friend to undo her mini-pad fiasco, but hope- fully, she will be able to beef up her internal supply of spermidine before she is bannd from all air travel in the future. – More at lifeintheboomer- lane. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 24 AP Nopurchasenecessary.Skill testingquestion required.

South Ajax, ON L1S 7T7 FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE Guidelines aim to prevent bone fractures at long-term care homes Osteoporosis Canada recently released the first-ever national guideline on pre- venting fractures in long-term care homes, where fractures are significantly more common than among seniors in the com- munity. The guideline, entitled Recom- mendations for Preventing Fracture in Long-Term Care, offers healthcare profes- sionals, residents of long-term care homes and their families, guidance to help take measures to reduce immobility, pain, hos- pital transfers and improve the quality of life for residents at long-term care homes. “One-third of older adults who experi- ence hip fractures, and many others who experience different types of fracture, are residents in long-term care homes. Yet, in many cases, these fractures can be pre- vented,” said Dr.Alexandra Papaioannou, lead author and Professor of Medicine, Division of Geriatric Medicine,McMaster University. The fracture rate for residents at long- term care homes is two to four times that of similarly-aged adults living in the com- munity. Fragility fractures, a type of frac- ture that occurs from normal activities, are a direct consequence of osteoporosis and can be devastating for long-term care resi- dents and their families. Fragility fractures inflict residents with chronic pain, immo- bility and even death, and have a debili- tating impact on the quality of life. In fact, nearly half the number of women living in long-term care residences who suffer a hip fracture will die within one year.Fractures from osteoporosis also have significant economic costs to the Canadian health- care system and despite the availability of therapies, many residents are not being treated after fracture. The guideline outlines five strategies to prevent fractures in residents of long-term care homes. These include: vitamin D and calcium intake, hip protectors, exercise, multifactorial interventions to prevent falls and osteoporosis medications.
