A developer is proposing an eight- storey condo building on the site. Developer’s proposal going straight to Ontario Municipal Board Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A large group of residents and local council- lors have banded together to fight a proposed eight-storey condo building on the Pickering water- front. South Pickering residents packed council chambers at the latest planning and development committee meeting, to hear an information report on a propos- al for a condo building on Wharf Street, west of Liverpool Road, and steps away from Frenchman’s Bay. But council will not decide on this matter; it’s going straight to the Ontario Municipal Board. Madison Brock Limited’s pro- posal is for 119 units and a three- level parking structure. The area is currently comprised of detached dwellings, boat and other storage facilities, and overflow parking for Port restaurant.

The applicant had applied to the city for an Official Plan amendment to redesignate the lands from Open Space System — Mari- na Areas and Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas to Urban Residential Areas — High Density Areas. The developer’s representative John McDermott, of McDermott and Associates Limited, noted the city did not make a deci- sion in the required 180-day time frame, so they filed an appeal with the board. Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean said extenuating circumstances resulted in this, which included the summer break when there are no meetings. “It’s a slap in the face to the community that you wouldn’t even lis- ten to them without making the decision to go to the board,” said McLean. He shared concerns from residents who claimed that a packed information meeting on the proposal in October left them with the impression from the developer’s team that the plan was a done deal. “There was nothing threatening about it,” McDermott responded. “There was nothing that was said this was a done deal.” Gwyneth Dalzell has lived in the area her entire life. “As a younger member of this communi- ty and someone who is concerned about the development that I see in my area I would just like to express for myself, and speaking for many of the other youth in Pickering, that we love this community, we love Pickering, and we want to make sure there is a place for us in the future in this community,” she said. More than 100 residents were part of a task force that mapped out the future of Pick- ering’s waterfront from both a recreation- al and residential outlook in the late 1990s. Large condos were not part of the vision. “The applicant’s residential condomin- ium proposal would be more appropriate- ly located in a location where high-densi- ty development is appropriate, such as the Pickering Urban Growth Centre or along Kingston Road,” said David Steele, who was chair of the task force. The report was endorsed by council and the city has invested in significant projects, including Progress Frenchman’s Bay Park, the nautically-themed streetscape, and Mil- lennium Square. Steele noted the provincial and federal governments and the city have invested $9 million in a safe harbour entrance to French- man’s Bay to support boating, tourism and recreation in the area. “Given the magni- tude of investments made by various levels of government it is imperative that any future development ensure that marina and uses continue to function successfully,” he said. Resident Gary Peck said the proposal does not protect the character of the village and it does not meet many criteria for development standards. For example, he said buildings south of Annland Street, where the building would go, should be three storeys maximum. He also noted Frenchman’s Bay has a long history as an unregistered water aerodrome. An eight-storey building could pose a prob- lem for the flight path. Peck, like many others, feels a condo building of this size will set a new precedent. “If one gets built, many will get built,” he said. Jeff O’Donnell has lived in Bay Ridges since 1971 and said the proposal saddens him. “I along with many other residents of Bay Ridges and West Shore communi- ties strongly oppose of this application and rezoning amendments,” he said. “French- man’s Bay is a Provincially Significant Wet- land and considered an Environmentally Significant Area and should be protected at all costs.” He also wants council to reinstate a restriction that was removed from some of the lands in 2006. Before then, Pickering council had zoned the properties in question as subject to a holding provision that pre- vented any new development until council was satisfied with the site design. Terry Allen has lived in the neighbour- hood for 37 years. “I just find this totally unacceptable, for this type of development for this neighbourhood,” he said. He spent his career in construction and feels the building simply doesn’t fit the foot- print. “I know you cannot build that building without totally disrupting that building for (at least) four years,” he said. Other concerns from residents include increased traffic, parking problems, poten- tial accidents, shading impacts, and privacy problems. They also question the safety of having a large increase of residents living so close to the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, if an evacuation were ever necessary. McDermott said the condo would not contribute to urban sprawl or adversely impact the economic base or the environ- ment, and noted it would help create a sus- tainable and complete community. He said it meets growth and transit density targets within provincial guidelines. Staff will put forward a report with recom- mendations. Council’s direction from that report will be presented at the board hearing. No date has been set for it at this time.

Content is protected by copy-right. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Whether you’re hunting for a job or angling for a promo- tion, a new graduate or a sea- soned professional, the real- ity of the Canadian job market is that it’s more competitive than ever before. Technologies are developing at such a rapid pace they often risk surpassing the very people who use and rely on them to do their jobs, requiring professionals to constantly upgrade their skills toolkits. Meanwhile, recruiters continue to spend less than seven seconds looking at a candidate’s resumé before deciding whether someone is a fit for a job. The result is a hyper-evolving, hyper- competitive workforce that not only requires job seekers to have the latest skills and training; they need to be able to communicate their learning and those skills to employers clearly and quickly. This is where the new Continuing Education, or ConEd, credential offer- ings of badges can help professionals get a leg up on the competition. Also known as micro-credentials or e-credentials, badges are typically awarded for success- ful completion of short, highly focused ConEd courses that can be delivered in a variety of modes. At Durham College (DC), the School of Continuing Education is launching a badging program to keep our ConEd offering not only on trend, but nimble, relevant and impactful. Badges provide a succinct, eye-catching way for profes- sionals to communicate their achieve- ments, competencies and skills to busy recruiters and potential employers. As the digital shift grows and contin- ues to affect all aspects of our lives, so too does the need for ways in which pro- fessionals can build and augment their online portfolios and profiles, particu- larly on social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Badges are an effective solution. Validated by a central authorizing body, each e-credential is supported by a description that identifies what was required by the professional to earn the badge as well as what skills and compe- tencies they can demonstrate as a result of their training. This fall will see DC’s first e-creden- tial courses, including Advancing Your Negotiation Skills, Handling Office Con- flict and Giving and Receiving Feed- back professional development cours- es, and Medical Cannabis Fundamen- tals for Business Professionals. This new two-day, introductory-level course is designed specifically for those who have already completed either a diploma or degree in business and are interested in pursuing a career in the Canadian medi- cal cannabis industry and will be held Nov. 25 and 26. We are also developing milestone e-credentials to recognize comple- tion of connected courses. For example, when a student successfully completes the “Advancing Your Negotiation Skills”, “Handling Office Conflict” and “Giving and Receiving Feedback” courses, they will receive an Interpersonal Skills for Business Professionals badge. In today’s job market, the ability to differentiate yourself from the crowd by clearly and concisely communicat- ing what you can offer employers is essential, and e-credentials are quickly becoming the preferred way to do it. For more information on DC’s ConEd programming and e-credentials, please visit www.durhamcollege.ca/con-ed. — Debbie Johnston is the dean of the School of Continuing Education at Durham College. There’s a badge for that: e-credentials help professionals stand out in crowded job market column ouR VIEW du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 7 6 AP Debbie Johnston Durham College Municipal governments across Durham — and arguably, across the province — have a laundry list of infrastructure projects to tack- le, with a dearth of public funds to spend on essential projects such as roads, bridges, sew- ers, water services and transit. And, so, the Region of Durham voted in the affirmative to join the list of municipali- ties within the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) that are committed to push- ing the provincial government to increase the HST by one per cent, with the money going toward funding municipal infrastructure proj- ects. An AMO study found that 73 per cent of respondents supported a one per cent HST increase, provided it went to infrastructure spending. Most Durham municipalities are facing a squeeze with property taxes and are reach- ing a critical mass as to what homeowners can pay in terms of year-over-year increases. To hammer home that point, regional chair Roger Anderson noted property taxes would have to be raised by 10 per cent to achieve the $64.5 million the region stands to gain if the one per cent HST bump was approved. Having property taxes bumped to the tune of 10 per cent in Durham is wholly unaccept- able, so municipal politicians are looking to the HST increase as having the potential to solve their infrastructure woes. There’s just one fly in the ointment, how- ever. The three provincial leaders don’t sup- port a hike in the HST — and with a provin- cial election looming on the horizon in 2018, that is a hot potato no provincial party would touch without being severely burned by the electorate. Anderson quite rightly points out wresting that much-needed money from the province won’t happen overnight, but having a ‘conver- sation’ with provincial leaders about the one per cent HST hike bridging the infrastructure gap might one day help the plan come to frui- tion. “It won’t happen today. It won’t happen next year, or in the next four years, but it starts a conversation,” Anderson said. No one likes paying more taxes. It seems one level of government or another has their hands out, always requiring more of the beleaguered taxpayer. But, we demand that public works be kept in good repair, and that new roads and transit are built for the society we all want to live in. That takes money — and lots of it. So, yes, hiking the HST to pay for needed infrastructure investment seems the right way to go. It spreads the pain around more evenly. But, let’s increase the HST only if that money is earmarked exclusively for infrastructure. Forum a good start, but more needed now to head off opioid crisis in Durham Durham needs infrastructure funds — and hiking HST is best way achieve it Me t r o l a n D Du r h a M real estate Press Run 162,050 November 15, 2017 *Independently Owned & Operated WHERE:220MartinsSt,PickeringNearAltona TrishFrench,SalesRepresentative Re/MaxRougeRiverRealtyLtd.,Brokerage* (905)428-6533www.TrishFrench.com $698,8 0 0 PRICE:$698,800 DETAILS:BuildYourDreamHomeorRenovateNear Toronto/PickeringBorder!SprawlingRanchCapeCodHomeonHUGE95’x225’PrivateTreedLotNear#401,#407&GO!CircularDriveway.2550SqFt.NeedsTLC.AsIs Condition.Septic.ByAppointment.ARareFind.CallTrish905-428-6533 HUGE .5 ACRE •95’X 225’LOT OPENHOUSE SUNday NOvEmbEr 19tH,2-4 Pm WHERE:134PorchesterDr.,Scar (Bellamy&Eglintonarea) PRICE:$699,200 DETAILS:3+2BedroomBungalow,HardwoodFloors, FrenchDoors,LovelyBow&BayWindows,PatioDoorstoLargePorch/Sunroom.2Kitchens,SeparateSideDoorEntrytoLowerLevel,Large42’x120’TreedFencedYard.

First month only. For new digital customers. Digital Snapshot October 2017 Why you need a REALTOR® to buy or sell a home in Durham Region Buying or selling a home in Durham Region can be an enjoyable pro- cess when the right professional REALTOR® is chosen to guide the trans- action. “It should be fun; buying or selling a home should be enjoyable,” says Roger Bouma, president of the Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR), which has more than 1,100 members. “A local REALTOR® helps take the client through the buying or selling process, step by step.” A REALTOR® is a trained professional who is licensed under provincial legislation to act as an agent in the buying and selling process. They are also a member of a local real estate board or association such as DRAR, which in turn is part of the Canadian Real Estate Association. Members must abide by set ethical standards, so buyers and sellers can be assured that their interests are protected when they work with a REALTOR®. By partnering with a licensed DRAR REALTOR®, buyers or sellers in Dur- ham Region can take advantage of their professional real estate educa- tion, experience and extensive local knowledge. A licensed REALTOR® will help you to understand the legal language of an offer, and explain what an easement on the property might mean to your plans for your new home. They will also provide you with the sale history of particular property; help you access the value of a property offered for sale and they may be aware of factors that will make a home harder to finance or tougher to get homeowner’s insurance. Those in search of a home should work with a REALTOR® who they also have confidence in, based on their experience in the local marketplace. “They are your neighbourhood experts,” says Mr. Bouma, who’s been a licensed REALTOR® for more than 28 years. “They live in the same neigh- bourhoods. Their kids go to the same schools. They’re paying attention to local planning issues. They know why two seemingly similar homes may have different values depending on location. It’s their experience, exper- tise and local marketplace knowledge that you’re taking advantage of.” A property listed with a DRAR member will get exposure to more than 50,000 professional REALTORS® in the GTA through the shared Stratus MLS® system, helping to connect your home to more REALTORS® and more buyers. Speaking about the current marketplace, Mr. Bouma explains, “The Durham Region real estate market, which continues to offer the best value in the GTA, has settled down nicely. We’ve returned to a typical bal- anced market. A home in Durham is worth more than it was a year ago, but buyers are not necessarily tripping over each other and competing to buy a home. The buying experience is more fun today than it was earlier this year.” For more information on DRAR, or to find a REALTOR® with experience in your neighbourhood, visit the website or call 905-723-8184.

Head dim sum chef Steven Zhong and his six cooks have been inside since 7 a.m., folding dumplings, baking pastries, sim- mering congee and prepping the 60 or so items on the menu. When the clock strikes 10 a.m., the front doors open and the eager diners file in, hoping to snag a few plates from the spe- cial, limited dim sum menu that riffs on current food trends, such as a steamed charcoal bun filled with a lava-like, sweet egg custard. Only 30 of these special orders are made each day. “Dim sum is a piece of art,” says opera- tions manager Day Wong and at Yu Sea- food it is treated that way. In fact, when the restaurant opened in December 2015, it specifically went after a clientele who could appreciate the labour and artistry involved in creating dim sum and that was willing to pay for a quality eat- ing experience. It is an emerging market in what has tra- ditionally been an inexpensive ethnic dining menu. A select few restaurants in the GTA are offering higher end modern takes on dim sum in addition to the clas- sics. Kwan Dim Sum in midtown has cus- tard-filled dumplings shaped like bunnies and bumble bees; Dragon Boat Fusion in Richmond Hill has fried mushroom and foie gras rolls; Scarborough’s Casa Imperial wraps seared duck breast around zucchini; and the Crown Princess downtown on Bay St. serves delicate lychee-flavoured jellies shaped like chrysanthemum blossoms. Wong is conscious of the artistry involved and plugged in to keeping up with the Ins- tagram generation. Watching shrimp dumplings being made from scratch from the pros is a blink-and- you’ll-miss it moment. In the kitchen at Yu Seafood, on a wooden table no big- ger than an average office desk, one cook lobs off a small piece of dough and with a flick of the wrist, flattens it into a perfect- ly round wrapper that’s as thin and trans- lucent as tracing paper. Zhong takes the wrapper, places a small ball of shrimp fill- ing in the centre and with a shuffle of his thumb and forefingers, makes precise folds on the edges of the wrapper, each one the same length and angle, making the dump- ling look like a fat paper fan. From the time Zhong takes the wrapper and puts the finished dumpling with the others, about five seconds have passed. On a busy day at Yu Seafood, 500 of these dumplings will be made (about 7,000 in a month), and that’s just one dish on a menu of about 60 items. “If you look at these hands you’ll see a lot of experience by how they handle the food and how fast they work. It’s not just the rec- ipes, you need to know how to move your fingers, how much pressure to apply when making the wrappers,” says Wong, describ- ing the cooks’ movements. Most of the restaurant’s cooks are in their 40s and 50s and prefer an antiquated sys- tem of scales, weights and Chinese units when measuring ingredients, to an elec- tronic scale (e.g.: one catty equals 500 grams). Zhong, 53, or “Fung” as he’s called in the kitchen, is originally from Guangzhou, and has been making dim sum for 30 years, about 20 years in Canada. He jokes he got into making dim sum because while working in kitchens he was told by his boss that his small hands are suited to making little dumplings, pastries and rolls. “Yes, people have asked me (to teach them), especially young people,” Zhong says. “I’ve taught a few who have come into learn. A lot of people have come through me in the last 30 years, and the art of dim sum has flourished.” He says it takes a year or two to learn how to make dim sum. “But you won’t become the head chef, it’s just to be a regular dim sum cook. If you’re the head chef, it means you’ve been doing it for many years. You need talent, potential, time and effort to succeed in this industry.” Zhong takes pride in his work even though a basket of four shrimp dumplings costs just $5.20 at the restaurant. Still, Yu Seafood is considered expensive among dim sum enthusiasts with some restau- rants in the GTA selling the same dish for less than $4, or as low as $2 to fill seats on off-hours. “Dim sum doesn’t make money because of its high labour and food costs. It’s to gen- erate traffic and get people in for dinner,” Wong says. “Nine out of 10 Chinese restau- rants that do dim sum actually lose money and make the money back at night time.” So Wong decided to draw in foodies with special dishes alongside the classic ones. “We’re that one restaurant that can make money off dim sum, investing in market- ing, staff and recipes. When you discount your price, you discount your quality and what you’re paying your staff,” he says. Yu Seafood offers classic dim sum, but lets the chefs get creative with a limited menu of dim sum specials that changes every four months.

(Hydro One) initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA), together asco-proponents, to construct a new municipal transformerstation to be connected to Hydro One’s transmissionsystem. This station is required to ensure an adequate and reliable supply of power to meet the growingelectricity needs in the Pickering area. Veridian andHydro One have now completed a draft Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the proposed Seaton Municipal Transformer Station (MTS) which will be available for a30-day public review and comment period beginningon November 17, 2017. The construction of the station and its connection toHydro One’s transmission system is subject to the ClassEnvironmental Assessment (EA) for Minor Transmission Facilities (Ontario Hydro, 1992). Pending the necessaryapprovals, construction could begin as early asmid-2018.

Zhong also got playful with anoth- er item, shaping a fried pork dumpling to resemble pears with a piece of carrot for a stem. “In Toronto, a lot of places don’t want to change,” Wong says. “We’re a bit lucky because our manage- ment group is very young and we adapt fast. We look at trends and what people want, asking customers what they want to see. You don’t want to go to the same place and have the same things every time.” By 3:30 p.m., the cooks have finished dim sum service and begin cleaning the kitch- en. In a separate adjacent kitchen the eve- ning cooks start preparing and the sushi chef stocks the fish counter in the dining room for dinner service. It’s been a long day for the seven dim sum cooks who have made thousands of dump- lings, rice rolls and other tapas-sized plates in the last eight to nine hours. While there are consumers who are reluc- tant to pay more for dim sum as competi- tors continue to offer inexpensive specials, Zhong is optimistic that good dim sum will always have a place in the culinary land- scape.

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE FOCUS ON COMMUNITY Sisters Sukaina and Sayyeda Ebrahim share the perfect cup and common misconceptions of the tasty drink Karon Liu Just as coffee terminology has been muddled with made-up words like Frap- puccino or misleading terms like “venti” which actually means 20 in Italian and not “extra large Starbucks drink,” miscon- ceptions surrounding chai have come up as it became more popular in the west. For one thing it’s not called chai tea, say sisters Sukaina and Sayyeda Ebrahim, owners of Elchi Chai Shop that opened six months ago at Harbord and Major Sts. in Harbord Village and serves hot chai and parathas made from their mom’s reci- pe. As temperatures start to dip, the two are on a mission to make chai as ubiq- uitous as coffee in Toronto and educate tea drinkers on their beloved childhood drink. “Chai means tea in Hindi, so when you say ‘chai tea’ you’re actually saying ‘tea tea,’ ” Sukaina says. “A chai latte is basical- ly chai but the milk is steamed like in an Italian latte rather than boiled.” When people in the West think of chai, they’re usually thinking of masala chai which contains warm spices such as car- damom, ginger, cloves and pepper. Masa- la is the catch-all term for spice blends in South Asian cooking. The sisters, who grew up in Brampton, named the shop in the language of their great-grandfather whose homeland was the Indian state of Gujarat. Elchi is the Gujarati word for cardamom. He moved to Tanzania where chai has been a popu- lar drink since Indian traders arrived on the Swahili coast in the 19th century. The chai that the sisters have been drinking since they were kids has a strong punch of spice and is not overly sweet, which is why they have customers add the sugar at the shop. “Chai should be a strong drink, rather than a syrupy milk drink with light spic- es,” Sukaina says. “You can get it in tea bags, but steeping the tea in hot water doesn’t bring out the spices as well as if you boil it with the tea.” Elchi Chai Shop’s Masala Chai The sisters make gallons of chai at their shop, so this version is scaled down for tea for two. This chai doesn’t hold back when it comes to spice, which is perfect for the cold and dreary days of November. If you prefer a milder chai, start with 1 teaspoon (5 mL) fresh ginger. The sisters prefer the creamy taste of evaporated milk, but you can substitute with other milks. 4 green cardamom pods 2 cloves 4 black peppercorns 1L (4 cups) water 1 tsp (5 mL) ground ginger 2 tsp (10 mL) minced fresh ginger 4 tsp (60 mL) loose English Breakfast tea leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) evaporated milk Granulated sugar, to taste Using a mortar and pestle or flat side of a large knife, crush cardamom, cloves and peppercorn. Put in medium-sized sauce- pan. Add water, ground ginger and fresh ginger. Stir. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add tea leaves. Continue to boil for 1 minute. Add milk. Boil for 2 minutes. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Strain into cups. Stir in sugar to taste. Makes 2 to 4 servings.

SPRANGE,Michael Brian -74, passed away in his sleep on November 3, 2017 surrounded by love at Ayre Manor Hospice in Sooke, BC. He had battled with heart issues, diabetes and kidney failure for years but in one short week a very aggressive form of brain cancer was discovered which ultimately took his life. He was born January 15, 1943 to Phyllis and Samuel Sprange in Toronto, Ontario. He is survived by his companion Marg Eliot, two daughters, Danielle Sprange and Suzanne Ault, his son-in-law Michael Ault and his grandchildren, Michael, Justin, Keisha and Asia. He is also survived by his sisters Lynne and Julie and his brother-in-law Eric and nephews David and Timmy as well as great nieces and lifelong friends. He adored fishing, music, nature and good food. Michael left a profound impact on individuals he met and was always in search of new and exciting ways to learn about and enjoy life. He overcame many struggles with strength, determination and grace and appreciated all of life’s beauty. A special thanks to Ayre Manor for their loving care and support. We take comfort in knowing he is with his beloved wife Helen again. A celebration of his life will be held on December 3, 2017 from 12 – 3pm at The Bluffers restaurant on the second floor overlooking the lake -7 Brimley Road South, Scarborough. Online condolences can be sent to sprange@hotmail.com.
