Pickering Islamic Centre hosts walkfor food bank Fundraiser to benefit St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Islamic Centre invites people of all backgrounds, religions and ethnic groups to join in its first walk for a local food bank that provides for people in both Ajax and Pickering. “We are reaching out to everyone in Durham,” said Javed Akbar, administrator of the Pickering Islamic Centre. “It’s not an issue restricted to one faith or one community or one national- ity or ethnic group. It is affecting everyone. We are all intercon- nected and we should take it as a common cause.” The walk for Saint Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank will take place on Sunday, Sept. 10. The five-kilometre walk will start at 10 a.m. from Masjid Usman (Pickering Islamic Centre) at 2065 Brock Rd. in Pickering. It will happen rain or shine. “The Pickering Islamic Centre has been a big supporter of the food bank here,” said Ward 3 City Councillor Shaheen Butt, who is supporting the event. Eid Al Adha is taking place in early September, so at this time, the Islamic Centre is collecting goods to donate to its nearest food bank, and is organizing the walk to not only bring in donations, but to drum up support.

Germaine P ....South Ajax Trial for GFL Environmental set for April Pickering company facing Environment Act charges Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A trial date has been set for a Pickering company accused of breaking federal environmental protection laws by selling a controlled cleaning sol- vent to dry-cleaning companies. Lawyers for Green For Life Environmental and the Crown met with a judge for pre-trial discussions in Oshawa Friday, Aug. 18. Following the closed-door session, Ontario Court Justice Joseph De Filippis set a trial date of April 30 for the matter. The company, along with CEO Patrick Dovigi, vice- president of sales and marketing John Petlichkovski, and Louie Servos, identified as a GFL employee, each face 16 charges under the Environmental Protection Act. The company and employees were charged under a section of the act that prohibits the sale of tetrachloro- ethylene to operators of dry-cleaning machines unless specific equipment and containment requirements in the regulations are met. Tetrachloroethylene has been identified as a possible carcinogen. The charges, laid in January of this year, relate to transactions that occurred in 2013 and 2014, accord- ing to an indictment. The allegations contained in the indictment have not been proven in court. The company has vowed to defend itself against the charges. Metroland file photo OSHAWA -- Charges have been laid against Pickering company GFL Environmental and three employees, including its president. It’s alleged the company sold a controlled chemical to dry cleaning operations that weren’t adequately equipped to contain the substance. GFL says it plans to fight the charges during the trial, which is slated to get under- way April 30 of next year. 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 7 3 P O’DonnellSchoolof TraditionalIrishDancingDurham Region Recreation and Competitive Programs School offers students direct contact with the professional dance world. 416-484-8734Registration Info: mwoolgar@hart-well.comwww.odonnellirishdance.com Beginners Welcome boys & girls ages 3 years & up Fun & Fitness • An Coimisiun Le Rinci Gaelacha, Ireland • Irish Dance Teachers Association of Canada • Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America Registered Member of: Anne-Marie O’Donnell, TCRG, ADCRG, BG Debbie MacVoy, TCRG Professional Instructors: Registration Info: mwoolgar@hart-well.comwww.odonnellirishdance.org 416-704-3533 O’Donnell School of Traditional Irish Dancing Serving the Durham Region for 37+ years Fun&Fitness•RecreationandCompetitivePrograms Registered Member of: • An Coimisiun Le Rinci Gaelacha, Ireland • Irish Dance Teachers Association of Canada • Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America Professional Instructor: Anne-Marie O’Donnell, TCRG, ADCRG, BG Beginners Welcome boys & girls ages 3 years & up GIVEWHEREYOULIVE Designate Durham and your donation will impact the lives of thousands in Durham Region.

Butt said people of all abilities are welcome to participate in the walk, and they do not have to finish the entire five kilometres if it’s too difficult. There are no pledge sheets and peo- ple do not have to raise money. But they are asked to bring a non-perishable food donation or a gift card to a local grocery store. “I’ve always been appreciative of the community and the many ways they sup- port their local food bank,” said food bank director Marg Jocz. “I’m pleased with the Islamic Centre’s support.” Gift cards allow the food bank to buy items as they are needed, and to purchase fresh groceries such as milk and eggs. Tea, coffee, sugar, rice flour, cookies baby for- mula and cereal are always appreciated. “Because the kids are going back to school we need things to support kids’ lunch boxes and starting their day off with breakfast,” said Jocz. In July, St. Paul’s fed 608 people, and as of mid-August, 5,107 people have received help from the food bank. The food bank feeds people all year, so donations at any time of year are always appreciated. “We always need the support,” said Jocz. “The need is year round. Support is always high in the holiday months.” People who use the food bank provide proof that they need the help. Seniors on fixed incomes and single-parent house- holds have traditionally used the food bank and continue to do so, but they are not the only people finding themselves in tight financial spots these days. Newer cli- ents include single men who have recent- ly lost their jobs and are at an age where rehiring isn’t an option. “We are blessed to live in a bountiful country, yet more and more Canadians are going hungry at night and it’s appall- ing,” Akbar said. He said the Islamic Centre is hosting the walk as an act of its faith. “We are inspired by the noble Prophet’s saying: ‘He is not a believer who eats his fill while his neighbour goes hungry,’” he said.

The event was one of 15 community cycling events throughout Ontario, and the City of Pickering partnered with Legends, Bay Cycle Bike Depot, and Cycle Life to make it happen. The event highlighted Pickering’s First Nations Trail, Peak Trail and the Monarch Trail, which together comprise the Pickering section of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail. "The City of Pickering welcomed families and individuals to par- ticipate in an exciting family oriented scavenger hunt, win some priz- es and be entertained by roving unicycle entertainers," said Sandrine Regina, Pickering's communications co-ordinator. "The event was a success." The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail spans 2,100 kilometres across Ontario and was recently recognized by the province as an Ontario Trail of Distinction. “Ontario’s 150th anniversary is an opportunity for people to expe- rience the incredible resources of our province and create long-term legacies,” said Eleanor McMahon, Ontario Minister of Tourism, Cul- ture and Sport. The event was part of a the Ontario150 Celebrate by Bike program, co-ordinated by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation, Ontario By Bike, and Share the Road Cycling Coalition, as part of Ontario150 celebrations. The program showcases Ontario’s iconic cycling routes, the Waterfront Trail and the Greenbelt Route. “The Waterfront Trail connects Pickering to 114 communities across Ontario and is an important component of Ontario’s cycling network that we are celebrating for Ontario150," said Marlaine Koehler, executive director of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust. Pickering residents celebrate Ontario 150 by bike Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- Jim Nicholson, left, and Nathan Brown-Robinson, members of the Toronto Unicycle Club, took part in the Ontario 150 Celebrate by Bike event.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 our opinionour opinionour opinionour opinionour opinion After a rancorous debate south of the bor- der in reference to the removal of Civil War monuments in the U.S. — particularly the ones that glorify Gen. Robert E. Lee, the Con- federate military general who led the south to war to preserve slavery and ultimately white supremacy — the debate has moved north- ward to Canada, albeit in the form of our nation’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Mac- donald. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has approved a motion call- ing on school boards across the province to rename schools bearing his name. The motion says school boards should rethink the use of Sir John A. Macdonald’s name, “in recognition of his central role as the architect of genocide against Indigenous peoples; the impact that this has on the rela- tionship between Indigenous and non-Indig- enous students, parents and educators; and the ways in which his namesake buildings can contribute to an unsafe space to learn and to work.” Those within the Durham ETFO chapter will now turn to lobbying the Durham District School Board to change the name of Sir John A. Macdonald Public School in Pickering — the only school within the board to bear the name of Canada’s first prime minister. A durhamregion.com Facebook site post on the Sir John A. Macdonald issue has elic- ited much reaction and many viewpoints — both for and against having the Pickering ele- mentary school renamed. Renaming the elementary school in Pickering is taking matters too far and is something that shouldn’t be considered by the board. For starters, history cannot be san- itized to fit all viewpoints; history is at turns bad and good, and revising it to reflect today’s narrative is folly. As a founding Father of Con- federation and our nation’s first prime minis- ter, not to mention a nation builder through his vision of building of the Canadian Pacific Railway from sea to sea, there is ample reason to have a Durham school as his namesake. In class, teachers can teach all aspects of Macdonald’s life, so students are aware of what type of man he was. If we do not teach history, we are bound to repeat it. And this doesn’t bring into focus the funds that would have to be spent to not only rename the Pickering school, but also many others across the province that bear his name. Durham District School Board trustees won’t meet until the start of the school year in September. Let’s hope their response to this issue will be to allow the name Sir John A. Macdonald to stay permanently affixed to the school in Pickering. Durham school board shouldn’t alter history by renaming Pickering school Column Youth employment trends in Durham Region Behind the numbers — Labour force looking forward Since 2010, Durham Region has had one of the highest youth unemploy- ment rates in Ontario, as well as Canada. Locally, the issue has been a contentious, hot topic for more than five years in Durham Region. Statistics Canada does not release unemployment rates by region but rath- er Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), and we use the Oshawa CMA as a proxy for the region. This CMA includes Oshawa, Whitby, and Clarington and the majority of the population of the region. The current unemployment rate for youth 15-24 in the Oshawa CMA is 15.5 per cent, down from 18.1 per cent this time last year. All other population unemployment rate is 5.9 per cent. To understand the nature of youth unemployment, skills, and future educa- tion and employment aspirations, the Dur- ham Workforce Authority (DWA) has sur- veyed Durham Region youth aged 15-29 and annually releases the data to the com- munity to create and amend programs and community services. This research allows youth-serving organizations, education- al institutions, municipal governments, and other community stakeholders access to information and data to address issues such as youth unemployment, and attrac- tion and retention of youth. Durham Region’s population accord- ing to the 2011 census was 608,124 citizens, with 128,185 of those individuals between the ages of 15 and 30. Compared to Ontar- io, a higher proportion of the population in Durham Region are in “youth” age cohorts (0-19) and a smaller proportion of the pop- ulation are in senior age cohorts (60-85). The median age is 39.2, which is slightly younger than the median age of Ontarians in general — 40.4. Durham Region is wide- ly considered to be an increasingly diverse and expanding region. Typically, youth unemployment — youth defined here by Statistics Canada as individuals aged 15—24 — ranged from two to 2.5 per cent of the total unemploy- ment rate for the population 15 and over, meaning that if the unemployment rate was five per cent, the youth unemployment rate should be somewhere between 10 and 12.5 per cent. In the Oshawa CMA, this had been the long-standing trend, until 2012. Youth unemployment averaged around 15 per cent from 2001 until 2012, when it sky- rocketed to nearly 22 per cent as the yearly average. Unemployment rates among youth also prove to be interesting due to their cyclical nature. Most youth between the ages of 15 and 24 are employed part-time, with spikes in hours and opportunities at certain points of the year. More youth are employed between May and August and from November to January than are employed in the remaining months of the year. This is due largely in part to seasonal hiring and the availability of the workforce, typically due to educational commitments. Similarly, 47.9 per cent of youth were employed in one of the top 10 occupations for youth employment, which included jobs such as retail salesperson, food coun- ter attendants, kitchen helpers, and related support occupations and cashiers. The DWA will release the new 2017 Dur- ham Under-30 Survey in September; for a copy of the 2016 Survey Report, visit www. durhamwa.ca. If you want more information about the Durham Under-30 Survey and other local labour market information, please contact the DWA at admin@durhamwa.ca. — Heather McMillan is the executive director at the Durham Workforce Authority.

(NC) Almost every new home or condo in Ontario is covered by a manda- tory new home warranty program. This coverage is provided by the builder and is administered by Tarion, a consumer-protection organization. While the builder provides the warranty, its cost is often passed on to the new home buyer. But this one-time fee, ranging from $385 to $1,500, depend- ing on the value of the home, gives you significant value for your money. You’ll receive as much as seven years of warranty protection to a maximum of $300,000 per home or condo unit. The warranty program has milestones to address specific issues that can arise after you have moved in to your new home. Here is a simple breakdown of the main coverages:One-year warranty. This warranty applies for one full year beginning when you first take possession, and even if the home is sold during this time. It re-quires that your home has been constructed in a workman-like manner and is free from any defects in materials used. It also requires that your home is free of Ontario Building Code violations and is fit for habitation. In addition, the warranty protects against unauthorized substitutions.Two-year warranty. This warranty begins on the date you take possession of your home, or occupancy of your condo unit. It provides protection against water penetration through the basement or foundation walls, or through win-dows, doors and caulking because of defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty also covers defects in materials or workmanship in the electri- cal, plumbing and heating systems in your home, as well as defects in work or materials that cause detachment, displacement or deterioration of the exte- rior cladding, such as brickwork or siding. Finally, the two-year warranty pro- tects against violations of the Ontario Building Code that affect the health and safety of homeowners. Seven-year warranty. This warranty covers major structural defects and begins on the date you take possession of the home and ends on the day be- fore the seventh anniversary of that date. It protects against defects in materi- als and workmanship that adversely affect a load-bearing part of your home’s structure, causing it to fail or significantly affect your ability to use the house as your home. In most condominium projects, warranty coverage also includes the shared areas of the building, referred to as Common Elements. This coverage is ad- dressed by the condominium corporation and provides up to $50,000 of pro- tection per condo unit to a maximum of $2.5 million. *Salesperson **Broker ***Broker of Record PAGE 3 DavidTurckSRES®SalesRepresentativeRoyalLePageProAllianceRealty,Brokerage TollFree:1-877-855-1508•Cell:905-376-1467dturck@royallepage.ca•www.davidturck.caw WHERE:51JigginsCrt,PortHope DETAILS:Housewithcharacterandcharm,lovely2bedroombungalowlocatedinportHope’sdesiredwestend.FormalL/R-D/R,lgbrightkitchenwithbreakfastnookandW/Oontodeck,familyrmwithgasF/Poffofkitchen.MasterbdrmfeaturesW/Iclosetandlrgen-suitewithsoakertub.Downstairsboastsafigfinishedrecrm,2pcbathandpossible3rdbdrm,remainderofbasementsprovidesforcombinedworkshop/storage.Walktoparks,shoppingandcloseto401.Bookyourshowingtoday.MLS#510640334 WHERE:2HillcrestDr.PortHope PRICE:$395,000 DETAILS:Charming3bedroomraisedbungalowsituatedinawestendfamilyorientedneighbourhood,closetoallschools,daycare,shoppingand401.FeaturesLshapedL/R-D/Rwithalargeeat-inkitchen.Lowerlevelhasfamilyrmden,utility/laundryroomandworkshopstoragearea.Homesitsonacornerlotwith2streetentrances,onebeingfora20x24ftdetachedworkshopforacarenthusiast,woodworkingorahomebusiness.Amustseetoappreciate.MLS#510670084 New ListiNg - 51JiggiNs Crt,PortHoPe NewPriCe - 2 HiLLCrestDr.,Port HoPe Name T hatAgent * s a l e s r e p r e s e n t a t i v e • * * b r o k e r 7 9 10 118 12 13 14 1715 18 1916 3 42 651 Congratulations to Jean H. from Whitby who admissiontoAfricanLionSafari for2adult&2children!

By asking the right questions and seeking out the best support, sellers can effectively streamline the process and take full advantage of their earning potential.” Homeowners looking to list their properties should consider the following four tips to ensure that their experience is a good one: 1. Research prospective agents. As with anything, a realtor’s skillset can vary. While some may specialize in condominiums, others may focus on the luxury market. Before selecting your agent, be sure to do your homework and make sure they are a good fit. Generally, it is best to select one with a deep understanding of your property type and area.2. Interview your agent and ask for a presentation. Arrange to meet with a prospective agent while all decision-makers are at the table. This will allow you to make an informed decision and figure out how they will help you sell your home. 3. Be transparent. Make sure your agent knows what’s on your mind. Are you concerned about the timeliness of the sale? Are you firm on a certain price? Any information that you can provide will help smooth out the selling process and improve your satisfaction. 4. Pricing. Regardless of whether it’s a buyer’s, seller’s or balanced market, a home that is priced correctly will often sell much faster. When listing your home, be sure to sit down with your agent and decide on a value that accu- rately reflects the market.

They contain tributaries of the Duffins Creek watershed, a primary source of water for Pickering. They are home to marshes, woodlots, and streams that provide habitat for an abun- dance of different species of animal and plant. In our era where food insecurity, water scarcity, and mass extinction are an ever- greater threat to ourselves and the world our children will inherit, we ought to give very sober thought to any decision to pave over these lands for an airport or other- wise. Because once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Laura Springate Whitby Financial interests driving a push by some for a Pickering airport To the editor: Re: ‘Recouping Canada’s $150-million investment’, column, Aug. 23 Almost two years ago, we chose the Town of Ajax as our new home. We did so because it is a beautifully planned com- munity with a balance of industrial, com- mercial, residential and green space, all of which add to a wonderful quality of life for Ajax residents. We looked, but found Pickering to be overdeveloped, congest- ed, poorly planned and crowded, and wondered why Pickering council would allow this level of overdevelopment considering the absence of appropriate infrastructure (i.e. roads etc.) to support it. A bit of research may have partially answered our question. It showed that some Pickering councillors received sig- nificant campaign contributions from developers, including those from outside the region. In a Toronto Star article from April 3, 2016, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish spelled out the problem with that. “I have been talking about the improper influence of certain funds going into the system, and how it improperly affects, often in a neg- ative way, how municipalities are devel- oped,” he said, adding Ajax passed a res- olution asking the province to be allowed to ban corporate donations in 2009, but had not heard anything since. In 2017, the province answered. Bill 68 ostensi- bly bans corporate donations. Of course, developers, their families and employees can still make significant contributions as individuals. All of this raises the question of why Pickering’s Mayor Dave Ryan is now mak- ing such a strong pitch that a Pickering airport be built. It is a strange argument since Hamilton and Waterloo airports remain grossly underused, and Button- ville was closed to make way for a huge real estate development. So why this argument, and why now? And why be willing to sacrifice farmland, green space, and add even more conges- tion and plane noise to the area? No doubt some with financial interests in a Pickering airport will support Mayor Ryan’s position. But local residents need to ask themselves if they are willing to sacrifice quality of life so that some can benefit financially. Patricia Spindel Ajax Teacher’s union is taking political correctness too far To the editor: Re: ‘Teachers call for Pickering’s Sir John A. Macdonald school to be renamed, say- ing Canada’s first PM committed ‘genocide’’, news, Aug. 24 How do you spell “stupidity”? Answer … The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO). So, they want to get rid of school names that refer to our first prime minister. Where will political cor- rectness go next? How about removing all English and French language instruc- tion in schools as these two languages were imposed on natives throughout the British and French empires? How about removing all images of Queen Elizabeth II on our money as she represents British colonialism and imperialism through- out the former British Empire? See where I am going? I could give several more examples, but I think you get the mes- sage. How about getting rid of “names of schools” altogether and giving each school a ... number? Perhaps French- man’s Bay School could be called “School 567840983746529,89”? ETFO, you have a lot to learn, so get off your high and mighty horse and get real. Offended? Too arrogant?

Health unit urges residents to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites DURHAM — The Durham Region health department has received confirmation of one human case of West Nile virus. This is the first human case of WNV reported in Durham Region this year. As of Aug. 19, there have been 14 probable and confirmed human cases of WNV reported in Ontario. In addition, there have been 264 WNV positive groups of mosquitoes identified across the province and WNV-infected mosquitoes continue to be found across the Greater Toronto Area. “While the overall risk of becoming infected with WNV is low, it’s still important for every- one to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites,” explained Ken Gorman, director of environmen- tal health with Durham Region health department. WNV illness 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. The disease is not passed from person to person or from bird to person. Most people who contract the virus will experience mild illness including fever, head- ache, body ache, nausea, vomit- ing, and rash on the chest, stom- ach, or back. More serious symp- toms can include muscle weak- ness, stiff neck, confusion, trem- ors, numbness, and sudden sen- sitivity to light. Symptoms usual- ly develop between three and 15 days after a bite from an infected mosquito. Area residents are encouraged to help reduce the risk of WNV by removing stagnant water on around their properties, includ- ing: • Removing unused objects that could collect water, such as tires, flowerpots, toys, etc. • Turning over items such as wading pools, recycling boxes, wheelbarrows, and boats/canoes, when not in use. • Changing the water in bird baths and wading pools weekly, and aerating ornamental ponds. To minimize the risk of mos- quito bites and the possibility of WNV infection, the health depart- ment recommends taking the fol- lowing precautions: • Wear shoes, socks, and light- coloured clothing, including long- sleeved tops and full-length pants, when outside especially dur- ing evening, nighttime, or dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. • Ensure that window and door screens are in good repair to pre- vent mosquitoes from entering your home. • Use an insect repellent con- taining DEET on exposed skin, following Health Canada’s safe- ty tips on using personal insect repellents. Health Canada has more infor- mation on using insect repel- lents containing DEET at canada. ca/en/health-canada/services/ about-pesticides/insect-repel- lents.html. As part of its ongoing WNV surveillance program, the health department has placed a num- ber of mosquito traps through- out Durham Region. Mosquitoes caught in these traps are collected and tested weekly for the virus. To date, a total of 10 groups of mos- quitoes in Durham have tested positive for WNV. For more infor- mation on WNV, call the health department's Environmental Help Line at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777-9613. Information is also available at durham.ca/west- nile.

Cops investigate after child, 8, approached by stranger at Pickering market PICKERING — Police are trying to iden- tify a person of interest after a child reported being approached by a stranger last week in Pickering. The eight-year-old girl was not harmed during the incident, which occurred just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23, at the Blue Sky Super- market. The child was approached by a man who offered her candy and asked her to go to his car, Durham police said. The girl ran back to her mother. The suspect is described as a light-skinned black teenager, about 6 feet tall with a thin build. He wore a grey T-shirt, shorts, black boots and a black ball cap. Investigators want to speak to the man, or anyone who may have witnessed the inci- dent.

The Region’s Age-Friendly Durham Strategy and Action Plan lays out a vision for a community that supports all residents, regardless of age or ability. “Durham’s aging demographic creates opportunities for innovative planning, ser- vice delivery, and public engagement,” Roger Anderson, Regional Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said. “Together, our goal is to make Durham a community where all residents feel included, respected, and enjoy a high quality of life.” In an age-friendly community, the design of policies, services, and structures related to the physical and social environment sup- port and enable active, healthy aging. The strategy and plan lay the founda- tion for a co-ordinated approach among the region, the eight area municipalities, and the community in order to plan for Dur- ham’s older adult population, which is those aged 55 and older. The strategy and action plan is the product of a collaborative effort involving community stakeholders and input from more than 1,700 individuals and 20 community organizations. “We are committed to ensuring older adults are actively engaged in all aspects of social and civic life, and the Age-Friendly Durham Strategy and Action Plan will help guide the direction of regional services over the next five years,” said Garry Cubitt, the region’s Chief Administrative Officer. To view the strategy and action plan, along with the interactive Age-Friend- ly map, designed to help residents locate seniors’ services, community facilities, and programs, visit www.durham.ca/Age- Friendly. Durham Region adoptsnew age-friendly strategy Together, our goal is to make Durham a community where all residents feel included, respected and enjoy a high quality of life. -- Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson “ Durhamofficers to be In The Zone with back-to- school traffic safety blitz DURHAM — As kids head back to school next week, Durham cops are plan- ning to be In The Zone. Officers will be deployed to school safe- ty zones across the region for a week-long traffic safety enforcement blitz, looking for infractions such as speeding and distracted driving. Officers will be taking a zero-toler- ance approach to traffic infractions during the Sept. 5 to 8 effort, Durham police said. Last fall’s In The Zone campaign saw officers issue more than 1,500 tickets, including 955 for speeding and 70 for dis- tracted driving. 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 3 0 , 2 0 1 7 15 AP DELIVERY ROUTESAJAXAB202 Addle Cres, Devrill Cres, Hettersley Dr 44 papersAB231 Large Cres 37 papersAN968 Sullivan Dr, Noake Cres 42 papersAN975 Hearne Cres 42 papersAN978 Hearne Cres 36 papersAN980 Sullivan Dr 34 papersAN986 McGonigal Lane, Pennefather Lane 51 papersAN991 Baratolo Lane, Abela Lane 27 papersAV346 Williamson Dr E 39 papersPICKERINGClaremont- Routes available in the Claremont areaPI364 Get Circle (46 Papers)PI374 Get and Pickering Poky (54 Papers)PI376 1945 Denmark (38 Papers)PI379 1915 Denmark (36 papers)PI380 Denmark Rd, Jawing Cir (32 Papers)PI333 1580 Kingston Road (43 Papers)PI334 1850 Kingston Road PI391 1623 Pickering Parkway (67 Papers)PI404 1790 Finch Ave.(41 Papers)PI444 Alwen Circle (40 Papers)PI445 Jay win Circle (40 Papers)PJ395 Holy Hedge and Major Oaks (61 Papers)PJ396 Green mount and Denville (63 Papers)PJ397 Strathmore Cress.

On August 18th in the privacy of his home, Nick suddenly and silently was taken from us. However, far from alone; he was embraced by the hearts of many. Nick is remembered as a truly peaceful and caring man. He was thoughtful and always quick to support others. He was loved and is missed by his family. Nick was well known and respected by his friends where he lived. Born in Germany, Nick spent several years in Penticton, B.C and Calgary, Alberta, book-ended by his roots in Cobourg, Ontario and the footprint he established in Drumheller, Alberta. Soft spoken and reserved, Nick had a passion for singing and was never reluctant to break out in song. Nick leaves behind his two proudest accomplishments; his daughter Justine and his son Johnny Wotton. Nick was predeceased by his mother Irene Frampton Wotton. He is lovingly remembered by his father John Wotton; his brothers Mark (Sheila), Scott (Catherine) and his sisters Anne Marie (Phil) and Katherine (Jamie). Uncle Nick leaves behind nieces and nephews, Matthew, Dakota, Nika, Mitchell, Kye, Sam, Kadyn, Jonah, Maisie and Lola. He is survived by his cousins John (Freddie) and Jan (Geoff). Nick also says goodbye to his dear friends, and guardian angel's Bev and John. A celebration and honouring of life will take place in Drumheller, at 2:00pm on September 9th, at the Legion.
