Through weekly two-hour classes, city staff from different departments teach participants to understand and actively engage in the planning and processes behind the facilities, services, events and programs in Pickering. Fire prevention officer Julie Ineson led the fire session. She explained fire prevention conducts fire inspections, enforces the Ontario Fire Code, investigates fires and provides public education. Ineson spoke of the importance of having smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detec- tors, and noted people can be fined $360 if they don’t have working alarms. Fire detec- tors should be on every floor of the house and outside all sleeping areas, and CO2 detec- tors should be located outside of all sleeping areas. “Enforcement through fines isn’t our main goal, but sometimes it’s necessary,” she said. She said the fire department prefers to work with people, not against them, by pro- viding alarms to those who don’t have them. The department would be more likely to fine a landlord who isn’t providing alarms for their renters. “Working smoke alarms can increase your chances of surviving a fire by up to 50 per cent,” she said. She noted the fire department provides permit inspections for things like film shoots and open air burning, and it provides routine inspections. For example, it is mandated to inspect vulnerable occupant buildings, such as nursing homes, once a year. “We have to watch the evacuation of the people in the building at their lowest staffing,” she said. Last year, the fire department inspected each plaza in Pickering. People convicted of an offence in con- travention of the fire code can face a fine of not more than $50,000 or imprisonment or both, and corporations can be charged up to $100,000. Ineson explained cooking, electrical fires, open flame fires and smoking are all causes of fires, and the fire department provides public education on the causes, probabili- ty and ways to protect families from fire. She said cigarettes, for example, can smoulder for five to eight hours before turning into a fire, something she’s seen before. “You always hear about the big fires but never the small ones in between,” she said. One of the questions to firefighters was if neighbouring municipalities help one anoth- er when fighting fires. “We have a mutual aid agreement in the region,” said Fire Chief John Hagg of the Town of Ajax. He added Toronto and Pickering often team up, despite having no aid agreement. Firefighters demonstrated a number of pieces of equipment they use, including the Jaws of Life and a defibrillator. Chief Hagg said defibrillator have saved the lives about around five or six people per year since they were introduced to the fire department. “It gets that heart going,” he said. Resident Joysina Ali was one of the appli- cants chosen to attend Pickering 101 — not all people who apply for the high-demand course are accepted. “I am so happy they called me,” she said. Ali’s a member of her condominium board and finds the information — every- thing from learning about city bylaws to all of the programs offered by the Pickering library — most helpful. “I think it’s very well done,” she said. The project’s facilitator Kathy Williams explained the city was looking for a broad mix of residents from all over Pickering to attend the sessions. Williams said by people becoming more informed, they’ll be better able to pro- vide knowledgeable input regarding issues throughout the city. “We’re really about information and learning and this is another way to learn,” she said of the program, now in its second year. Fast facts: Firefighting and Pickering • A fire brigade made up of volunteers exist- ed as early as 1888 in Pickering • The first fire station in Pickering was a Quonset built on Kingston Road at Rose- bank Road in 1952 • Until the 1970s, volunteers were alarmed of fires through a wartime air raid siren located at the Kingston Road station • In the 1980s, ‘plectrons’ (radio controlled monitors) were placed in firefighters’ homes • Volunteers without a plectron relied on women in town phoning each other to noti- fy them of the alarm, or had to reside in the vicinity of the sounding air raid siren • Breathing masks only became recognized as mandatory on a fire scene in the 1970s • Durham Region joined onto the 911 emer- gency notification system in 1991 PICKERING from page 1 Pickering 101: learning about how the city works Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- Tim Jeffery, a platoon chief with Pickering Fire Services, spoke during a Pickering 101 event at Pickering Fire Hall 5. 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 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 4 P City website underwent a complete redesign earlier this year Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The City of Pickering has won gold in a 2017 competition for its updated website. The Hermes Creative Awards, adminis- tered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, is an inter- national competition for creative profes- sionals involved in the concept, writing, and design of marketing and communica- tion programs, and print, visual and audio materials. Launched early this year, Pickering's website project included a complete rede- sign to ensure an intuitive and respon- sive web experience across all devices and screen sizes. Highlights of the new www.pickering.ca include: responsive design, meaning the site will resize accordingly to the device being used; social media integration and prominence; integrated news sign-up, providing a central location for visitors to subscribe to eNewsletters, services disrup- tions, public notices, and more; and an enhanced events and meetings calendar. “The City of Pickering is committed to enhancing access to online services and information to create a more connected, engaged, and inclusive community,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “I am proud and hon- oured that Pickering’s efforts have been recognized in this international awards program.” Pickering’s website is goldenat Hermes Creative Awards Mayor Dave Ryan Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Planting a tree, taking pride in Pickering PICKERING -- Chris Zorn, and his son Andrew, 4, helped to plant a tree at the Take Pride in Earth Day event at Duffin Heights in Pickering Saturday morning, April 22.

Walking my dog down to Rotary Park from the Lake- side school area I did not see a trash bin until I got to the waterfront. This I do not understand. I came across many piles of dog waste, as well as people garbage. What are we supposed to do with it? I came across a lady cleaning up gar- bage along the paths and apparently it is not allowed. I was informed that she was told that the seasonal bins have been removed until mid-May. I did not realize dogs are seasonal. Go figure. Now to my comments. This is not rock- et science. We need these bins to keep our parks clean or does the Town of Ajax not care. If not please do not be concerned when you see waste on the waterfront. It is really simple. Put the bins back. Daniel Cameron Ajax We all have favourite places in nature, some woods, lake or mountaintop where we feel a million times better, whole and at peace just thinking about it, even when we can’t be there in person. Glad doesn’t begin to express how I felt getting to the sugar bush at the family farm in Hali- burton County last week. We haven’t made syrup since two tornadoes ripped through, taking down many great old maples, and I sorely miss witnessing the yearly mira- cle of winter’s retreat and spring’s steady advance. But cutting firewood is a good excuse to catch just a bit of the action. A mourning cloak was flitting about in the sun near the boiling place as we arrived, my first butterfly this spring. These chocolate-and-cream beauties overwin- ter as adults in woodland nooks and cran- nies, but the bright red admiral that kept me company as I split wood on a sunny slope had flown all the way from the States already, likely in the last warm front mov- ing up from the Gulf of Mexico. We tapped a few maples for sap to drink, and the familiar plink-plink of it dripping into the buckets was music to my soul, reminding me of other springs, other joys. As did the lispy calls of brown creepers, the raspy songs of eastern phoebes and the scolding of white-breasted nuthatches, all excited and ready to mate. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers were drumming and squeak- ing, and tapping for their own sweet sap to drink. Spring peepers and wood frogs added their calls and croaks to the growing sym- phony, and at midday, a barred owl start- ed to hoot from a grove of pines near the marsh, asking, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?” Two days of rain sent us back to the city, and when we returned to finish our split- ting and hauling, the leatherwood buds had burst into bloom, tiny yellow tassels perfuming the air with the scent of cloves. Wild leeks poking up through the brown leaf litter had become carpets of vivid green, soon to be joined by spring beau- ties, trout lilies and squirrel corn. On our last morning up there, we switched off the engine of the old tractor to find the first hermit thrush had returned. It was singing from a hilltop, as haunting and beautiful a song as any in the world. Psychologists write about nature-deficit disorder, and for me it’s real. A few days in the woods do more to calm me down and put me back together than anything else I know of. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks. net or 905-725-2116. Getting back to nature cathartic The Great outdoors margaret carney Think about this: teachers wearing Kev- lar jackets to mitigate injury while being punched and kicked, schoolyards evacuated due to multiple incidents of violence, or stu- dents locked in classrooms because of a melt- down by a student with behavioural issues or special needs in the hallway. No, these sorts of events aren’t rare excep- tions; they are occurring in schools across Durham Region with more frequency and that is, quite frankly, unacceptable. “Many teachers have accepted violence as part of their work,” said Dave Mastin, the pres- ident of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario - Durham chapter, who’s quoted in reporter Reka Szekely’s two-part feature story on violence within Durham schools. And, according to Mastin, it’s impacting the learning environment for students, the work environment for teachers and, not sur- prisingly, the mental health of students and teachers. Parents at Oshawa’s Beau Valley Pub- lic School understand children with special needs and behavioural issues have always been a part of the school landscape. But, of late, the situation has become untenable as incidents of violence against teachers and stu- dents have escalated at the school. One parent, Erin MacCormack, agrees ten- sions are high at the school: “ … When this (violence) is happening none of them are being educated and it’s creating a stressful environment for everybody.” A mother of a Beau Valley student diag- nosed with severe attention deficit hyper- activity disorder (ADHD) and opposition- al defiant disorder says her son has suffered physical injuries at the school and doesn’t believe staff members have the proper train- ing to work with her son. And, that seems to be where the need lies: putting resources into the school system that will allow all students, including those with behavioural issues and special needs, to experience a safe and invit- ing school environment. Mastin says a big part of the solution lies in investing in educational assistants and sup- port workers so teachers can teach instead of working in crisis mode. Currently, the Durham District School Board spends $110 million a year on special education as one in four students in the board have been identified as having special educa- tion needs. In the past two years, the board has received $700,000 less for special-educa- tion funding as a result of provincial formula changes. Now, the province has announced it’s willing to increase funding to special edu- cation. The province needs to put significant, adequate funding into special education. The sooner this money becomes available to the Durham schools boards, the better. The need is particularly acute in Durham, where decreasing violence and therefore reducing the angst experienced by Durham parents, teachers and students alike should be para- mount. 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 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 7 AP 795 Westney Rd.

According to records which could be verified by any Pickering historian, Kings- ton Road has been in existence since before 1800. Why then would the resi- dents south of Kingston Road and west of Brock Road complain about traffic in their vicinity? NIMBY? Then, why did they move there in the first place, and why don’t they move away now? Why should all Pickering taxpayers pay for people in that one subdivision? Likewise for the residents in the Bayly/ Krosno/Liverpool area. Those houses are not new. They were built in the early 1960s. If they don’t want to move, they should wear earplugs, but please don’t blame the City of Pickering for your dis- comfort. Besides, noise barriers only deflect noise. They don’t kill it. Carol King Pickering Why Ajax resident is moving back to Scarborough To the editor: Why I’m moving back To Scarbor- ough. I moved to south Ajax about two years ago and even though I really like it here, I’ve finally decided it’s not for me. Love the bike lanes but hate that Durham Region Transit uses that reason not to replace the bus shelter at Harwood Ave- nue and Lake Driveway (closest one is more than a kilometre away). Why are there no garbage cans? I hate people that don’t pick up after their pets, but where on earth are you supposed to dispose of it? If Ajax doesn’t care, why should we? There is no online access to my tax account like I had in Toronto. I called and was told that Ajax couldn’t afford to support online access like Toronto. Unusual response, since my taxes were half the price in Toronto. And, finally, I can’t find a doctor! Susan Coral, Ajax Pickering tax rate started as the second highest in the GTA To the editor: Re: ‘No joy for taxpayer looking at Picker- ing’s 2.69 per cent tax hike’, letters, March 9 Letter writer Linda Blaschek should know that Pickering may be proud of “the smallest increase in tax rate in the GTA,” it also started from the second highest rate in the GTA, making the real increase (not per- centage increase) probably the highest in the GTA.

More educational, mental-health supports needed in Durham schools, say educators Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Both students and educators are being injured in Durham elementary schools despite protocols designed to protect them such as classroom evacuations and the issuing of Kevlar vests and hoodies to educators. William McPherson said the problems for his son started in kindergarten at Dr. CF Cannon Public School in Oshawa. Now in Grade 1, he says his son has been the target of two boys in his class. He’s had a marker shoved in his ear, he’s been pushed and he’s been punched. Last fall he sustained a concussion at school as a result of bullying. “I’m tired of my kid being hurt ... I can’t in good faith keep sending my son to school to be hit,” he said, adding at one point he was stunned when he was told the school couldn’t guarantee his son’s safety. “Who says that to someone? My son’s six-years-old, you can’t guarantee his safety?” Kayla Jones is the mother of a seven-year-old boy with ADHD who is in a behaviour assessment class at Beau Valley public school in Oshawa. She says at one point he was being physically assaulted on a daily basis by another student. His hair was pulled, he was punched in the face and he had objects thrown at him. The board’s short-term assistance response team (START) was dispatched to the school this year but Jones said it didn’t solve the problem and she has complained to the school board about the situation. “My son was still coming home with chunks of hair miss- ing or marks on his face, when you have all those adults in the room how is that happening,” said a frustrated Jones. “He has his issues, I’m not saying he’s perfect, he’s in that classroom and he’s going through the same things the other parents say their children are going through and he is a child with special needs.” The mother of a Grade 3 Beau Valley student with a behav- iour safety plan described the impact of the tense situation at the school on her son and family. She asked that her name not be used to protect her son’s privacy. “I’ve had absolutely horrific things said about me, my child, my family ... I’ve heard things like let’s just save taxpay- ers money and put him in jail right now. My son is eight years old,” she said. He has been diagnosed with severe ADHD and opposi- tional defiant disorder. She says her son has suffered physi- cal injuries at the school from adults attempting to restrain him and doesn’t believe staff have the proper training to work with her son. She says her son has a fight or flight response so he flashes back to being injured when he’s in distress. “He’s not safe either in this situation,” she said, adding that she believes her son has shown improvements in recent months. The school has had nine different administrators in six years and the mom blames the school board and adminis- tration and said the situation leads to an environment where parents are essentially arguing with each other. Beau Valley moms Erin MacCormack, Tanya MacLeod and Jennifer Sellick agree tensions are high between parents. “It’s not an attack on special needs children. This is not an attack on any child in particular or parents,” said MacCor- mack. “All children have a right to education and when this is happening none of them are being educated and it’s creating a stressful environment for everybody.” They point out that when the parent council was approached about fundraising for a self-regulation room, they worked together to ensure it could be put in place. Given the problems at the school, last year 106 Beau Valley parents signed a petition begging the board not to cut the school’s vice-principal position but the position was eliminated due to enrolment numbers. “There is a fix to this and it doesn’t involve getting rid of these kids, there is space in the public system for these kids,” said Dave Mastin, president of the Elementary Teachers’ Fed- eration of Ontario (ETFO) Durham chapter. The union is advocating for increased investment in sup- port for kids with special needs including the educational assistants and support workers so that teachers can teach instead of working in crisis mode. Teachers often complain that when educational assistants are rushing from one behav- ioural emergency to another, they don’t have time to support kids who need help with things like reading and math. “You can chip away and chip away at supports until you reach a critical point,” said Mastin. “There’s no doubt in my mind we’re past that point. This problem can be solved with- out proper supports.” One educational assistant at a west Durham elementary school is among those who has been asked to wear Kevlar on the job when working with a young student. She agreed to talk on condition her name not be used because of con- cerns she could lose her job. “I love the student, the student is an amazing kid, however when the student looses it, I’ve had bruises on my whole body to the point where when I’m wear- ing a short-sleeved shirt I’ve had a stranger ask me if I need to leave my abusive husband,” said the EA who is one of several EAs in the Durham District School Board to describe being injured on the job. She believes issuing Kevlar to school staff is an inadequate response to violence in schools and sends the message that education workers can expect to be hurt on the job. “How is it OK for me to be hurt and for my fellow col- leagues to walk into work almost every day with the threat of being hurt,” she asks. In January ETFO Ontario issued a call for the Province to address violence in schools across Ontario calling for both educational and mental health support for children. Shirley Bell, union local president for Kawartha Pine Ridge, told the story of a Grade 1 student whose violent behaviour led to him being removed from the classroom or the classroom being evacuated. She said the child’s kindergarten teacher documented her concerns about the child for two years. There were wait times at the school and the child couldn’t get supports until nearly the end of his first grade year when he was able to slot into one of two designated assessment slots for the year. In the second grade the student continues to struggle. “Resources are spread so thin that we are left trying to offer Band-Aid solutions that help us survive day-to-day,” said Bell. The Durham public school board spends about $110 mil- lion a year on special education and one in four students has been identified as having special education needs. There are a number of Provincial budget items in the board’s budget for special education and while the line based on enrolment numbers continues to grow in Durham, a funding formula change on another line means the board received $700,000 less in the past two years than it would have under the old formula. John Legere, superintendent of education for special edu- cation with the board, said that the board has to consider the funding envelope it receives from the Ministry of Education. “The role of the school board at that point is to utilize that funding to the best of our ability,” he said. Sean Greson, a spokesperson for the ministry, said the Province is increasing its Special Education Grant for the next school year by 2.5 per cent to a total of $2.8 billion. “We are making changes to be more responsive to the needs of students receiving special education programs and services,” he said via email. He projects a $900,000 funding increase to the Durham District School Board next year for special education. He said the Province’s newly announced Grants for Student Needs program will allow for the hiring for 25 additional teachers and 51 additional educational workers next year in Durham.

Many parents are not sure where to turn. Online advice can range anywhere from “pick them up every time” to “let them cry or you’ll spoil them.” Much of the advice to be found is less than practical; it reminds parents that this is a season and one day you will miss this stage so be sure to enjoy it. And while you might miss the small- ness, the snuggles, and that newborn baby smell, you are unlikely to miss waking up every other hour to feed your baby! Minimizing sleep deprivation should be the goal of every new parent. Rest- ed parents are more engaged with their infants, less likely to suffer from a post- partum mood disorder, and are happier all around. So what can you do? 1. Forget ‘sleep when the baby sleeps’. This isn’t practical for most parents. You have things to do, places to be, and obligations to meet. Instead, focus on getting quality sleep. Have someone there to watch your baby so that you aren’t half asleep, listening for your baby. 2. Stay in bed. While an afternoon nap may not be feasible for everyone, sleeping in always feels indulgent. Most babies have their days and nights mixed up, which means the morning is when they have some of their best naps. Take advantage of that and go back to bed. Try and have all your sleep add up to 6-8 hours, even if it means you don’t get “up” until lunch. 3. Tools are a baby’s best friend. Power tools might be a bit much before their first birthday, but all the gadgets that you can buy for baby are tools in your toolbox. Use what works for you! That might mean swaddling, a pacifier, a white noise machine, or something else. Always make sure you practise safe sleep guidelines, but otherwise, do what works! 4. Lean on your village. It is okay to need help. It is normal to feel overwhelmed. Most new parents have people they can lean on for assis- tance. If you are breastfeeding your baby, it is okay to have someone else give a bottle once a day so you can get a longer stretch of sleep. Let your part- ner, family, friends, or doula help you in getting adequate rest, whatever that looks like for you. There is no medal for going the lon- gest without sleep or having the big- gest bags under your eyes. Getting ade- quate rest can help you to feel healthier and happier in your new role as parent. The average adult needs between 6 to 8 hours of sleep each day. These tips can help you to increase your sleep and meet, or at least get closer, to those goals. -- Meaghan Grant and Alex Weinberg- er are Certified Birth and Postpartum Doulas, and Co-Owners of Toronto Family Doulas, Hamilton Family Dou- las, and Family Doulas of Ottawa. 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 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 16 AP WE TREAT YOURHOME LIKE OUR OWN Attic insulAtion •Fully Insured•WSIB Covered•Family Owned and Operated•First Aid Trained•Written Warranty On Workmanship VOTEd #1 ROOfINg COMpANY6 YEARs IN A ROW 201 6 READERS’CHOICEA WARDDIAMOND www.ajaxroofing.com Call Today For A Free Estimate905-427-2116 Visit us at OK Tire Pickering on the web!

Enhancing the Oshawa hospital emergency department experience Being a volunteer at Lak- eridge Health has given me the opportunity to meet all kinds of people. In fact, if you’ve ever been to the emergency department in Oshawa on a Friday after- noon, chances are, our paths have likely crossed. You would’ve seen me behind the welcome desk greeting you as you came in, or at the registration coun- ter helping reconnect peo- ple with family members being treated. I know what you’re thinking. Who would actu- ally choose to spend their free time in a busy emer- gency department? Well, I do it because I enjoy helping people. I’ve been volunteer- ing in Oshawa’s emergency department for 10 years and I learn something new every single shift, which is pretty phenomenal. I started volunteering in my 20s at Presbyterian Hospital in my native Texas and quickly came to love the hustle and bustle of the emergency department. It was the place where the activity came to you and was something different every day. Years later, I moved to Canada and began vol- unteering again. Natural- ly, I was drawn to Oshawa’s emergency department. Two years ago, I became the auxiliary co-ordinator over- seeing all of our emergency department volunteers in Oshawa. As volunteers, our role is to work with emergency care teams to provide the best possible experience for the patients and fami- lies who come through our doors. This means we’re your first point of contact when you get to the depart- ment. We’re here to help guide you through the steps to getting care. We also make sure wait- ing rooms are kept tidy and that there are enough crayons, sticker books and movies playing to keep our young patients and visi- tors occupied. Sometimes we sit and play with sib- lings when mom needs to breastfeed baby. Other times we’re finding elusive wheelchairs and are always watching to identify any concerns to staff. Our emer- gency department volun- teers are people who think fast on their feet. They can talk to anyone and try to make them feel comfortable before and while staff are providing their care. Last fall, I was asked to become a patient and fam- ily experience adviser. My husband had visited the emergency department and the hospital was interest- ed in my perspective as the family member of a patient. As an adviser, I work with the Emergency Quality Council providing input on various projects and initia- tives. Some of the things I’ve been involved in so far include the development of a new pamphlet that helps patients know what to expect in the emergency department. I was asked to review the information that is now displayed on new TV screens in the waiting rooms with an eye to what would be most useful to patients and families. And I also took part in the cre- ation of a new document that emergency patients are now given when they leave that summarizes their visit. It’s given me a chance to learn more about my com- munity hospital while work- ing alongside doctors, nurs- es and staff. We’re all mak- ing a real difference and it feels good to be a part of it. Together, we’re working to ensure the best possible experience for our patients and families in Durham Region. — Nan Thomas is the auxiliary co-ordinator for the Oshawa Emergency Department and patient and family experience advis- er 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 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 18 AP LOVE © 2017 Pandora Jewelry, LLC •All rights reserved THE PANDORA STORE AT PICKERING TOWN CENTRE 1355 Kingston Rd, Pickering, ON 905.492.7263 Your Local Birding&Nature Experts www.UrbanNatureStore.ca Pickering,609KingstonRd.905-231-0459 Oshawa,370TauntonRd.E.905-674-6168 They Are BAckWelcomeYourhummingBirdshomeWithaBeautiful New Feeder Call now for a free, no-obligation estimate905-427-1522 themaidsdurham.ca ✓Bonded and Insured ✓100% SatisfactionGuarantee ✓No-contract Cleanings FORADEEP-DOWNSPRINGCLEAN,ITTAKESATEAM.
