Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jen- nifer O’Connell attended the meeting when council, as part of its bid to host Amazon Inc.’s second headquarters, passed a recommendation that coun- cil would support an airport in Pickering, pending a cur- rent study that is underway by KPMG. Five of seven councillors voted in support of the new stance, a change from council’s long-standing opposition to an airport. See RESIDENTS page 3 Jason Liebregts / Metroland CLAREMONT — Local residents Jerome Michaud, Mike Reneau, Robert Burns, Kim Kalinich and Adam McKay were not impressed when council changed its stance on an airport in Pickering as part of the City’s bid to host Amazon Inc.’s second headquarters. Residents feel they should have been given notice about the plans to change the stance. newsroom@durhamregion.com www.facebook/newsdurham @newsdurham newsdurham FOCUS ON FAMILY FOCUS ON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT Opinions differ on having breakfast A reporter took part in an experiment to find out whether it’s better to have breakfast or skip it.

Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Tensions over money owed for a drug transaction led to a fatal shooting in Ajax, a jury at a murder trial has heard. Keenan Corner repeatedly shot his close friend, Shabir Niazi, multiple times after Niazi first pulled the gun and then, after Cor- ner wrestled the pistol away from him, start- ed swinging a baseball bat, court heard Mon- day. Corner, 26, admits he shot Niazi, but claims he did so in self-defence. Corner has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. Under questioning by his defence lawyer, Stephanie Di Giuseppe, Corner testified he’d angered Niazi, 22, with whom he partnered in a marijuana selling enterprise, by failing to come up with his share of the cost of the dope. When he told Niazi on Feb. 19, 2014, he didn’t have the cash required, it was the third time he’d done so within a short time span, Corner testified. “I told him the money was short,” Corner said. “He got angry and started calling me names.” Corner said Niazi’s fury continued as he paced in a small garage behind Corner’s family home on Roosevelt Avenue in Ajax. Then, Corner said, Niazi drew a Glock hand- gun the two had bought for protection. “He turns and looks at me and pulls the gun and he’s raising the gun to point at me.” Corner said. “I said no, I can’t let this hap- pen, so I grab for the gun.” There was a struggle and Corner gained control of the Glock after he head-butted the larger Niazi, court heard. Corner said he loaded a round into the chamber of the pis- tol and told Niazi to calm down. “I felt like I turned into Superman for a minute,” Corner said. “I got a big rush of energy.” It was then that Niazi grabbed a baseball bat and began to advance again, Corner tes- tified. He said he fired a couple of warning shots, but that his friend kept coming at him with the bat. “I fire a couple of shots in his direction,” Corner testified, adding he was in a state of panic as the confrontation escalated. “I point the gun back in his direction and shoot again. “He twisted away from me and dropped the bat. He stood there for a few seconds and then he fell on his face,” said Corner. Corner said that, when he realized his friend was dead, he immediately began to fear Niazi’s brother and friends would come looking for revenge. “He’s not going to care if it’s self-defence or not,” he testified. “He’s going to want to retaliate.” Corner hid the gun in a green space about half a kilometre from his house before returning to the scene and phoning 911. He told responding officers Niazi had been shot by a group of men who stole their stash of marijuana, repeating the false narrative later during an interview with a Durham police detective, court heard. In the days after the shooting, Corner continued to stick to his robbery story and took other steps, including placing a bogus call to Crime Stoppers to reinforce it, jurors heard. Corner was charged with his friend’s kill- ing March 1, 2014. Court has heard Niazi, 22, sustained nine gunshot wounds, including one that struck his heart, and a shot to the head that would have been rapidly fatal. As she began her cross examination Mon- day, prosecutor Lara Crawford expressed doubt about Corner’s claims of self-defence and fear of retribution. “You’re making up this story because you killed Shabir and you did it on purpose and you meant to do it,” Crawford suggested. “I didn’t murder Shabir. I killed him in self-defence,” Corner said. He said he spun his robbery lie to distance himself from the killing. “I believed I would be safe from retribu- tion because of it,” he said. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Michael McKelvey and a jury, continues in Oshawa. Accused in murder trial claims self-defence as he describes shooting that killed friend in Ajax Submitted photo DURHAM -- Durham Regional Police con- ducting surveillance on Keenan Corner following the February 2014 fatal shooting of Shabir Niazi found this 9 mm handgun, along with ammunition and spent shells, concealed in snow in a wooded area in Ajax. Cops made the discovery after watching Corner enter and then leave a wooded area east of Admiral Road, near the residence where Niazi was shot. 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 5 , 2 0 1 7 3 P ExpEriEncE •intEgrity •compassion •Family Law •Real Estate •Wills & Powers of Attorney •Estates •Guardianship “Our Experience Is Your Advantage” www.mgmichaelslaw.com Ajax 381 Westney Rd., S, Tel: 289-460-1533 Fax: 905-426-1091 Bowmanville 52 King St W, Tel: 905-623-2586 Fax: 905-426-1091 DP2 Please visit us at .ca .ca 888-925-3265 107 Warren Rd., Whitby Residential & Commercial Service Duct & Furnace Cleaning A/C Units l Dryer Vents Carpets & Area Rugs Furniture l Stain Removal Family Friendly, SystemSafe™ SeasonalAllergies?LetusHelp! inside October 25, 2017 Pressrun 54,400 / 32 pages editorial Page / 6 Real estate / pullout section Focus on Health / 13 durham Wheels / pullout section Classified / 17 905-215-0442 durhamregion.com The latest news from across durham Region, Ontario, Canada and the world all day, every day. search ‘newsdurham’ on your favourite social media channel.

The city staff report said a Pickering airport would have the potential to become a significant economic catalyst for attracting major commercial invest- ment to the city, spurring additional infrastructure investments and creating thousands of new jobs. “Our advocating for an airport sends a strong message that Pickering is open for business, that our time is now,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. But O’Connell, a former councillor, noted Pearson International Airport is within the 45-minute drive to an airport that Amazon prefers for the new loca- tion. “I don’t know that it was necessary but that’s up to council,” she said. “From the federal government’s perspective, the position hasn’t changed. We’re completing the aviation sector analysis which is due next year.” She noted the feds recently announced it is extending agricultural leases from year-to-year to 10 years on the lands, which were expropriated by the government in the 1970s for the pos- sibility of building an airport. No final decision has been made on an airport, and more than half of the land has been transferred to Rouge Natural Urban Park. O’Connell fully supports Amazon set- ting up shop in Pickering, and agrees there is a need for economic develop- ment in Pickering, but believes there’s a huge opportunity for agricultural devel- opment. “Frankly I think Minister Garneau has been clear that we’re waiting for the avi- ation sector analysis, and moving ahead with those 10-year leases,” she said. “I don’t speak for the minister, but that’s the direction he’s moving ahead in that I support.” It also does not change Land Over Landings’ position. The group is opposed to an airport and supports the lands being used for agriculture, agri- business and tourism. The group, with the help of registered charity Green Dur- ham Association Ltd., raised $85,000 for an agricultural and rural growth study for the remaining lands. The report is due out in the new year. “Only the federal government is going to make a decision about an airport,” said LOL chair Mary Delaney. She said the group has had support of all of their MPs over the years. “We respect the job they’re trying to do and they respect the job we’re try- ing to do, albeit as volunteers,” she said. “This just reinforces that we need to work with people that have the author- ity.” She felt the change on the stance was hidden in the Amazon bid and questions why nobody opposed to an airport was notified that it was coming up. Mike Reneau, the immediate past president of the Claremont and District Community Association, said residents felt they deserved some notice. “The feathers are ruffled,” he said. “It’s just another classic lack of lead time, especially when they know it’s such a hot potato in our community.” The airport runway, if it were to go ahead, would be roughly one kilome- tre from Claremont, located in the north part of Pickering. Reneau didn’t hear about the issue until the day before the meeting. “All of us were flabbergasted on the CDCA and just about everyone else in the town is beside themselves,” he said of the new stance. He also questions why it seemed key pro-airport people were well prepared for the meeting. Ward 3 regional Coun. David Pickles said he did not tell any pro-airport peo- ple about the item, and added he didn’t read his agenda which contained the staff report until the Saturday before the Tuesday meeting. He said it was available online on the Thursday, and noted community members can sign up for alerts once the agenda is posted. “If any community association or res- idents aren’t already signed up for it, I highly recommend they do,” he said. He noted that people on both sides made it out in the end. “We had 14 delegations so the sys- tem must work,” he said. “Can we always improve on communication and do more outreach? Of course we can. There’s more one can always do. I think the process worked. Land Over Landings was there, more than one of them.” Ward 3 City Coun. Shaheen Butt said he felt sorry residents felt left out. “Like anyone else I get to see my agenda on the same day the city posted it,” he said. He said he always encourages resi- dents to come to council chambers and voice their opinions. “I’m listening to them,” he said. Butt noted he and Pickles voted against the new stance. “There’s a lot of stuff pending,” he said. “Residents have some concerns and I’m with them.” Residents blindsided by City council’s vote of support for north Pickering airport RESIDENTS from page 1 Ward 3 City Councillor Shaheen Butt 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 5 , 2 0 1 7 4 P Bargain-hungry shoppers in Durham weren’t wowed by first weekend of Sears liquidation sales Oshawa, Pickering, Whitby locations included in liquidation process Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Bargain-hungry shoppers checking out the first weekend of Sears liquidation sales crowded the Pickering store on Sunday morning, however many said the deals were a bit of a let down. Ajax resident Melonie Davies had her eye on a stand mixer originally priced at $599 — but at 20 per cent off, she says it was still too pricey. “I was really hoping for bigger discounts, but I guess we have to wait longer for that,” Davies said. “If this was like, half off, I would have definitely bought it.” Sears Canada announced Oct. 10 that it is going out of business after 65 years, putting 12,000 people out of work and closing all its stores across the country. Liquidation sales started Oct. 19 at 82 Sears loca- tions — 74 department stores and eight Sears Home stores. They include the Sears department stores in the Oshawa Centre and Pickering Town Centre, and the Sears Home location in Whitby. The liquidation is expected to take 10 to 14 weeks to complete. Signs at local stores advertised discounts of 20 to 50 per cent — with a few exclusions like perfumes and cos- metics. Many shoppers at the Pickering store were look- ing for deep discounts on big ticket items like applianc- es, furniture and mattresses — most of which were list- ed at 20 per cent off. Pickering couple Fahad and Nasreen Rahmanzai were on the hunt for a car seat for their second child due around Christmas, but weren’t wowed by the 20 per cent discount. “Not quite as good as we expected,” Nasreen said. “We were thinking this would be good timing to get some good deals on baby stuff. Even with the 20 per cent off we could probably get it for less online.” A statement from Sears Canada says there will be discounts of up to 50 per cent at the department store locations, and up to 30 per cent at the Sears Home loca- tions. “Liquidation discounts will be available on all Sears own brands, including Kenmore, as well as brand name men’s and women’s apparel, children’s wear, footwear, bed and bath, home décor, fitness and recreation, toys, furniture, mattresses, major appliances, hardware, lug- gage and more,” the statement notes. At least one person thought the local deals were a steal — Oshawa’s Hamid Baksh was scoping out deals at the Oshawa store on Friday night and was thrilled to find a front-loading washing machine marked down to about $950 from $1,400. “It’s not all good prices, but there are some good ones if you look. I think my wife is going to think I did a good job,” he said with a laugh. Some store fixtures, furnishings and equipment will also be available for sale. PICKERING — With the first weekend of shopping since the liquidation of Sears Canada, shoppers were taking advantage of sale prices on merchandise storewide.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by all the data that can be used for making critical employment or workplace deci- sions. But I assure you, you too can lever- age data without being a data geek. Most of it is available for free and on demand. As an employer, there are several key pieces of information at your fingertips that will help to determine the health of your organization. Quickly skim through your staff’s sick days. I will wait. Are they taking each and every sick day? Is some- one always away? If so, it could mean you need to bulk-purchase hand sanitiz- er, or it could mean that your workforce really does not want to be there. It may be worthwhile to ask a few questions or observe your workplace. As a jobseeker, when is the last time you took a look at your local econom- ic development department’s website? Most economic development depart- ments produce reports on priority sec- tors that highlight local employers and local occupations. If you spend some time on the Region of Durham’s website, you will find amaz- ing sources of information useful to job- seekers and employers. Check out Invest Durham (www.investdurham.ca/), which has information about key sectors such as advanced manufacturing, agri- business and digital technology. This site also has information about commuting patterns, education and cultural diver- sity. A quick click over to the Region of Durham’s planning department will reveal information on growth, Durham- specific census data and maps.

In our view, putting a rebate program on hold was a wise move. And, it would be wiser still if councillors didn’t revisit elec- tion rebates beyond the next municipal election or at any time in the future. Why? The Region — read the taxpay- ers of Durham — should not be putting money toward municipal election cam- paigns of individuals no matter what the cost. The cost of electioneering should be born by the candidates themselves. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson put it succinctly: “I personally don’t think gov- ernment should be funding campaigns.” The debate emerged after Regional staff were directed by council to look at a rebate program because of Bill 68, which includ- ed changes to municipal matters, includ- ing elections. Some of the changes include a ban on union and corporate donations to municipal candidates and limits on how much a candidate can self-finance a campaign. The self-finance limit is up to $25,000 on a campaign. Although Ajax Mayor Steve Parish’s comments are well taken that rebates would have a negligible impact on local councillor campaigns, but could play a much larger role in campaigns to elect the regional chairman, where campaigns can run as high as $400,000. Moreover, the Town of Ajax has presid- ed over a successful rebate program in the Town that rebated 75 per cent for an indi- vidual contribution. Meanwhile, Whitby also has a municipal election rebate pro- gram, too, where the Town rebated 25 per cent of individual campaign contributions. The Ajax mayor argues that a rebate program promotes individual, small dona- tions to a candidate’s municipal election campaign and thus giving the individual a larger, grassroots role in the democratic process. Whitby Regional Councillor Elizabeth Roy said a rebate program would add to community engagement in municipal elections. Others on council, including Oshawa councillor John Aker, said taxpayers shouldn’t have to financially assist candi- dates they neither like nor support. We see the points made and the issue for what it is. But, in the final analysis, regional council has bigger, more impor- tant issues on its table, not to mention many items requiring funding; election campaigns being footed on taxpayers’ backs just shouldn’t be one of them.

To the editor: Pickering Town Centre is pri- vate property and no one dis- putes it’s right to install gates to close parking lots to prevent unwanted overnight parking. But one has to wonder what the gates in the south lots are meant to do? They are not closed at night, they are closed in the morning. Further, they don’t actually close off either of the two south parking lots. What they do is inconvenience the many people who drop off GO passengers at the base of the footbridge over Highway 401. In good weather, those com- ing from the east or north east can drop passengers and they can walk to the bridge. In bad weather, though, drivers are forced to circle the lot on Pickering Parkway and enter from the west side, a waste of gas and time and creator of pol- lution. Nothing is gained. The odd person who parks in the southwest lot to take the GO train can be just as easily dis- suaded by the presence of the security truck (which remains on site after closing the gates) or by ticketing and, for that matter, towing. Pickering Town Centre needs to stop closing those two gates. David Bergson Ajax People with allergies must learn to adapt to conditions, says reader To the editor: Re: ‘Feathers ruffled over bird feeders in Ajax’, news, Sept. 27 I read with great interest a proposal to amend the bird feed- er bylaw. First, I did not know that there was such a bylaw, silly me, and secondly that this would ever make it to the newspaper. I have allergies and I have learned to deal with them. I do not need or want legislation pro- tecting me from the world. What will be legislated against next: birds, dogs, cats, horses, fish, the list is long of things that people are allergic to or do we eliminate all of the sources totally? How are Akkim Taylor’s chil- dren going to deal with their allergies as they grow older and probably develop addition- al allergies? Seek legislation to protect them, probably instead of learning to deal with them? Even life threatening allergies require personal adaptions and awareness to situations that cre- ate reactions. Bird feathers and related allergenic items are part of living on this planet whether natural or man made. Just my opinion.

Toronto police said they exe- cuted a search warrant at a home near Westney Rd. S. and Raven- scroft Rd., north of Kingston Rd. W. on Oct. 19. Police allege that a man placed an online ad looking to initiate sexual acts with a person. He then allegedly chatted with someone to make arrangements to commit sexual acts on a child. Police further allege that in the chats, the man sent images of child sexual abuse. Robert Ratcliffe, 54, was arrest- ed. He has been charged with possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography, making child pornography avail- able, distributing child pornogra- phy, making child pornography, and making an arrangement to commit sexual interference. Police said they believe Rat- cliffe had close association with children since 2010 through his volunteer work. In his LinkedIn page, he was listed as a former scout leader for Scouts Canada. The organization spokesper- son John Petitti said Ratcliffe served as a volunteer in the orga- nization from September 2010 to August 2014. He said volunteers are required to complete training and police screening before they are allowed to work with youth. “Nothing is more important to Scouts Canada than the safety of the youth in our care,” Petitti said. “Mr. Ratcliffe had fulfilled each of these requirements, including a Police Records Check and Vul- nerable Sector Screening. We will continue to monitor this situation closely” Ratcliffe appeared in a Toronto court on Oct. 20. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416- 808-8500, Crime Stoppers anon- ymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477). Reporting can also be made through Canada’s national tip- line for reporting the online sexual exploitation of children at cyber- tip.ca. — Torstar News Service Ajax resident, former scout leader facing child pornography charges These dolls will always remindArlene’s family of her.

The suspect fled with cash. No injuries were reported. The suspect is black, and about six-foot-one. He wore dark-coloured clothing and shoes. Robber steals cash from Ajax sub shop AJAX — A knife-wielding man robbed a Subway store in Ajax of money early Monday morning. The robber entered the Sub- way location on Harwood Avenue near Kingston Road on Oct. 23 at about 12:45 a.m. He demanded cash, which the store employee handed over, Durham Regional Police report. He then fled on foot and the clerk wasn't physically hurt. The man is described as black man, five-foot-seven-inches, in his early 20s.

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE Skipping breakfast might be healthier than eating sugary foods in the morning Michelle Henry It is yet another one of nutrition’s hot button issues: eat breakfast or skip it. And it’s a matter I’ve wondered about ever since North Americans and their erstwhile eating habits became smitten with constant grazing and snacking. Some believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Others, like Dr. Jason Fung, author of The Obesity Code, a modern-day bible on how to fast to lose weight, says that forgoing the morning meal is a reasonable option, a possible key to health and weight loss. This made me wonder: should I kick my morning-eat-a-thon to the curb and wait for lunch? To help me out (I’m a reader and can ask questions for this column too, you know!), I turned to Dr. Nick Bellissimo, associate professor and director of the Nutrition Discovery Labs at Ryerson University. He agreed to put me through an experi- ment that would give me an answer. But before we get to that, here’s what the research says about feasting or fasting right after you wake up. Breakfast eaters are thinner and make healthier choices, some studies say. Oth- ers find no relationship between weight and the morning meal. Still more stud- ies show that what you eat is more impor- tant than when you eat it. Nutrients con- trol hormones, which dictate how hun- gry you become during the day and even what kinds of foods you desire. Eat sugar and you’ll just want more of it, the studies seem to suggest. Fung thinks that breakfast — a meal that, until the 17th century, accord- ing to Bellissimo, was perceived by the upper classes as an exercise in gluttony or a means for the lower class to energize before a gruelling day’s work — is super- fluous because right before we wake up, our hormones gear up for the day, leav- ing us gassed and raring to go. He points to research that says fasting — leaving a longer time between dinner and the next day’s meal, say — lowers blood sugar and cholesterol. I put my faith in science — and Bellissi- mo’s experiment. Over a few days a while ago, the professor used me as a guinea pig to test what kind of breakfast — none, a carbohydrous meal or a meal of eggs and homefries — would satiate me from morning until night and, stop me from consuming extra, unnecessary calories. First, Bellissimo asked me to fast from 9 p.m. on three separate evenings. When I arrived at the lab in the mornings, I was greeted with a finger prick every 30 minutes for two hours to check my blood sugar — keeping blood sugar low throughout the day helps control hunger and sugar cravings, not to mention help- ing to control diseases, such as diabetes. One of the days, I ate nothing. Another day, I ate a typical North American break- fast higher in refined carbohydrates. And on the third day, I got eggs and home- fried potatoes (that’s what Bellissimo calls “protein and functional carbs”). The results were fascinating. Skipping breakfast kept my blood sugar low and steady all day. I ate a respectable amount — not too much — and didn’t crave candy in the evening. Eating the carbohydrous breakfast — rice cakes with cheese and fruit — sent my blood sugar crashing and spiking and me on a sugar bender of cinnamon buns and cookies shaped like unicorns right before bed. The most striking result came on the egg and potato day. I felt full, happy and made healthier food choices the entire day and consumed the least amount of calories than on any other day of the experiment. For me, at least, the conclusion was clear. If I’m not going to eat “hero” foods like protein and starchy veggies in the morning, I’m better off waiting for lunch. The good news is that these results are typical for people who are of normal body weight, and ongoing work in Bellissimo’s lab shows similar results for kids — obese people and those who skip breakfast may metabolize their nutrients differently, Bellissimo says. “There’s a reason eggs and potatoes are known as ‘nutrition’s heroes,’ ” he said. Vince Talotta / Toronto Star DURHAM -- Terence Boateng, student and assistant manager at Ryerson University’s NExT Lab, poses with a plate of protein and functional carbs, aka eggs and home- fries. Opinions differ on whether to eat breakfast or not. And if the former, what to eat in the morning.For me, at least, the conclusion was clear. If I’m not going to eat “hero” foods like protein and starchy veggies in the morning, I’m better off waiting for lunch. “ 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 5 , 2 0 1 7 14 AP November is Diabetes awareNess moNth! 360 Bayly Street West, Unit 5 -ajax115 Grassmere Avenue -oshawa info@careachc.ca www.careachc.ca| November 14 th is World Diabetes Day.Did you know that a Canadian is diagnosed with diabetes every 3 minutes?That’s 480 people every day!

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE How to help your kids say goodbye to a beloved pet Tips on how to guide little hearts through their grief to help them deal with their loss and recover from it Jennifer Walker Saying goodbye to a pet is an inevitable experience many families will experience. And telling the truth to children and allowing them to grieve is crucial in help- ing them deal with their loss, as well as recover from it. “I think it is important to tell children the truth but depending on their age and developmental level, the information you communicate will differ,” said Kyle New- stadt, individual and family therapist and director of Integrate Health Services. “Regardless, they should know the truth and if you know the pet is sick or death is on the horizon, it is important to commu- nicate that with children.” According to Ms. Newstadt, books can be helpful to introduce the topic to a child with the family without any other distrac- tions. She said parents could explain to their children that the animal has been to the doctor for medicine and that they’re waiting to see if it helps the situation. “Don’t hide the truth and say the animal is sleeping or he ran away; it's abstract and kids wont understand that,” said Ms. News- tadt. “Stick to the truth and avoid unknown language, explain death but leave it up to the child and what they’re asking — chil- dren can surprise us.” A toddler is unlikely to understand death but those words should be used, she added. “Parents could explain that medicine was given to dog and it will help him close his eyes and he will die peacefully,” said Ms. Newstadt. “Wait for them to ask "what does death mean?' and, depending on religious beliefs, that would be a good time to talk about that.” According to the local therapist, it is important to allow your child to express their feelings and deal with grief. A pet memorial would be a crucial part of the process for a child and the entire family, she said. “Ask the child and give them choices in ways they would want to memorialize their pet and maybe each child can think of something they want to do; a burial out- side, pictures in places around the house, creating a scrapbook, or a special ceremo- ny to talk about the memories they had with their pet is important and helps them deal with grief,” she said. “This will open lines of communication which is so impor- tant when a child suffers from the death of a pet.” According to Durham Region registered vet technician Sarah Macdonald, it is required of veterinarian clinics to dispose of a pet’s body once it passes away. A large majority of clinics also offer cremation, she said. According to Ms. Macdonald and Ontar- io.ca, homeowners are permitted to bury their pets on their own property. For those living in an apartment, Ms. Macdonald recommends cremation. The ashes can be kept in a special urn inside the pet owner's home or be scat- tered in a special location for a ceremony or as part of a memorial, she said. For those looking for more ways to memorialize their pets with keepsakes, funerals, cremation ceremonies, and more, Ms. Macdonald recommends Gateway Pet Memorial, specializing in pet aftercare throughout North America. Parents should be focusing on positive coping strategies by modelling self-expres- sion, letting the child know that it is OK and normal to have these feelings of sad- ness and that it is important to express, said Ms. Newstadt. “Children experience grief in different ways from adults; there is no right or wrong way,” she added. “They may appear to be coping well and weeks later experience sadness. Meet the child where they’re at.” According to Ms. Newstadt, parents shouldn’t approach the conversation until the child is expressing sadness. “It’s OK if the child isn’t demonstrating that they’re sad, there is no right or wrong way to experience grief,” she said. “It is typ- ical for a child to ask questions or to say they’re feeling sad and then engage in play, it’s a developmentally appropriate way of grieving.” — Jennifer Walker, previously a reporter for Metroland Media, is now enjoying free- lance writing from home with her daugh- ters Frankie and Finn, living out her dream of being a wife, mother, daughter, friend, and writer. Did you know there is a vaccine that prevents heart attacks and strokes? Every year, my colleagues and I in the world of infection control and public health tout the benefits of the influenza vaccine. The flu is ranked among the top 10 leading causes of death in Canada. There are rough- ly 3,500 deaths and 12,000 hospitalizations from the flu every year in Canada — this is almost twice as many deaths as motor vehi- cle accidents in Canada. Now, if there was something that could help prevent you from dying in a car acci- dent, even if it wasn’t perfect, wouldn’t you use it? Of course, they are called seat- belts. It’s a no-brainer. And so should be the annual flu vaccine. It makes sense the influenza vaccine can help prevent respiratory illness, fevers and feeling terrible, but did you know that it can prevent heart attacks and stroke? A study by researchers at the University of Toronto published in the prestigious Jour- nal of the American Medical Association in 2013 showed that receiving the influen- za vaccine was associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular events by almost 40 per cent. Another study, published in the journal Vaccine in 2014 showed a decrease in stroke by 24 per cent among people who were vaccinated for influenza. The shot makes sense for everyone, and you should be vaccinated even if you’re healthy or rarely get sick. Getting a flu shot not only protects you; it protects your loved ones as well. It’s especially important to get a flu shot if you work in a public setting, with young children and/or seniors or with peo- ple who have health conditions. The only reason to delay is if you’re running a high fever or suffering from flu-like symptoms. The flu vaccine is available through your primary care provider, community health centres, participating pharmacies and flu clinics near you — and, it’s free! It takes about two weeks for the shot to be effective, so the earlier you get the shot, the sooner you’ll be protected this flu season. --- Daniel R.

The process may be devastating but it doesn’t have to be silent. Oct. 15 was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, a global initiative which honours and remembers babies lost during pregnancy and after birth. Lakeridge Health provides support to families who have experienced a loss through a number of initiatives. “We are improving the level of care we deliver to families, which includes staff training on how to effectively commu- nicate with patients who have experi- enced a loss by showing compassion, communicating information, and shar- ing resources,” says Julie Rojas, Patient Care Manager of the Lakeridge Health Birthing Unit. “We also have a Cuddle Cot at our Oshawa Hospital and another is expect- ed to arrive soon at our Ajax-Picker- ing site, for parents who wish to spend more time with their babies.” The hospital system provides support for parents who have experienced a loss. Ashleigh Schlotzhauer, a registered nurse in the Birthing Unit helped raise funds for a Cuddle Cot after she lost her son. “It was my first pregnancy. I was diag- nosed with pre-eclampsia and had to deliver at 25 weeks along,” says Ashleigh. “The Cuddle Cot, which helps preserve the baby, is a gift of time for families. It allows parents the opportu- nity to hold their child for an extended period of time if they wish to do so.” Stillbirths, which account for about one per cent of all births in Canada, can carry lasting psychological effects for families who are struggling to cope. Lakeridge Health works alongside the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network (PAIL), which offers support for parents and families after pregnancy or infant loss. “I find it therapeutic to speak about my baby,” adds Ashleigh. “He looked like his dad. He was a part of our family and I hope others who have experienced a loss can take com- fort in knowing they can keep their baby’s memory alive by sharing their story and finding help.” --- Julie Rojas is the Patient Care Man- ager of the Lakeridge Health Birthing Unit.

Your Loving Family Paul Frederick Smith, R.I.A., C.M.A. C.P.ADecember 1. 1938 - October 21, 2017 After a courageous battle with basal cell cancer, and losing his eyesight, Paul passed away at home in the early hours of the morning. Paul called himself a "number cruncher", sometimes a "bean counter", and occasionally he could be heard to say, "Remember, 2 plus 2 equals 4, not 3-1/2, not 4-1/2, but, exactly 4"! Paul's numbers were precise and exact, with an overdose of integrity. Paul's first job out of high school was bookkeeper at Biltmore Hats, in Guelph, Ontario. He retired from teaching at Seneca College, International School of Business, as a Professor of Economics. Even then he couldn't leave the numbers alone, so he started an Income Tax based business - Yorkdale/Acc/Tax Solutions, which he enjoyed very much. Paul loved to travel, classical music, painting in oils, Toronto Blue Jays, Clam Chowder on Christmas Eve, a crease in his trousers, a handkerchief in his pocket, and last but not least, a 4 o'clock Martini . But Paul was much more to his family and friends. Helpful and loyal he enjoyed people. Paul loved and was loved by wife, Dianne, wife of 56 years. Loved and respected by his children. Son, Colin and his son Carson. Daughter Karen and her husband Bruce Chandler, and their son Aaron. All will miss his presence. Paul's parents were Dorothy and Carl Smith of Guelph (predeceased). Paul was the last of his siblings, Jack, Marion and Don, but leaves sister-in-law Barb Smith, in Guelph and lots of nieces and nephews in Guelph and the Toronto area. Our thanks to Rev. Lorrie Daly-Price, who has been constantly with us during Paul's ordeal. The family would like to acknowledge, with thanks, the care Paul received from his family doctor, Dr. William Newton, of Markham Stouffville Hospital. Thank you to doctors, Antonishyn, Enepekedes, Karam and Petrella, at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre. CCAC - Durham has been very helpful, thank you Vinette. V.O.N - thank you Fran. Thank you Clare DeGeer and Rev. Lorrie for drives to Sunnybrook. Special thanks to Lavern Baker, an exceptionally caring nurse. Thank You, Lavern. Cremation has taken place. Friends and family were received at the Heritage United Church (7046 11th Concession, Markham ON) on Wednesday October 25th from 10am until time of service at 11am. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
