Pilot project for body-worn cameras given funding to the tune of $682,000 Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Members of Durham Region’s Police Services Board have approved a proposed budget of $198.9 million for 2018, rejecting one member’s proposal to shelve a pilot project that will see officers equipped with body- worn cameras. The numbers approved at the Nov. 14 meeting trim $2.4 million from the $201.3 million draft budget reviewed by the board last month, and comply with regional council guidelines call- ing for a 3 per cent increase over the 2017 budget. Surviving deliberations Tuesday morning were a number of line items sub- mitted for approval, including more than $682,000 for body-worn cameras, and the hiring of new civilian employees including an interior design- er and a technician who will work on the service’s fleet of vehicles. Chief Paul Mar- tin said he and his administration tried to be prudent in requesting new funding after being instructed to pare the budget. “We have gone to great pains to deter- mine what our needs are,” said Martin. “If we continue to put off these needs, it becomes a greater and greater pent-up demand.” During deliberations board member Bobbie Drew called for deferral of fund- ing for a year-long pilot project that will see officers equipped with body-worn cameras, part of a multi-year examina- tion of the technology undertaken by Durham police. Drew, who has been a vocal skeptic of the project, suggested the $682,781 set aside in the 2018 bud- get for the project to be diverted to other areas, including an expansion of the ser- vice’s use of conducted energy weapons, commonly referred to as Tasers. Drew said research conducted by other services in North America found the cameras had failed to deliv- er on hopes that they’d increase police accountability and increase trust among the public. “There are very mixed reviews on the success of body-worn cameras,” she said. “I would choose CEWs (conducted ener- gy weapons). They save lives.” But proponents of the ongoing proj- ect, including board chair Roger Ander- son, said Durham ought to stick with its plan to conduct a thorough examination of the technology. “We’ve spent over a million dollars on this already,” said Anderson. “I think we have to let the pilot proceed and make an informed decision.” A motion to defer the funding for body-worn cameras failed. Also unsuccessful was a motion by board member Bill McLean to cut two new hires — for a fleet technician and an interior designer, both of whom will earn more than $54,000 in 2018 — from the budget. McLean argued the funds for the civil- ian employees could be better spent on a front-line officer. But staff replied the hires are necessary to conduct ongoing work that the service will have to pay for, one way or another. “If we bring it in house, we will do it more efficiently,” said CAO Stan MacLel- lan. “Buying from a third party does cost you more.” And facilities manager Dave Simpson offered a defence of the interior design- er position, which had been discussed somewhat dismissively by some board members. “These people are involved in the design of police facilities so that they function properly. Their work is invalu- able,” Simpson said. “They’re not to be confused with an interior decorator.” As is typically the case wages and ben- efits account for more than 90 per cent of the service’s budget. Other major line items in the bud- get approved Tuesday include almost $253,000 for expansion of the conducted energy weapon project; $27,865 for an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) used by the traffic services unit; and $13,000 to replace cameras for the forensic identifi- cation unit. Final approval of the budget will be a task for Durham regional council.

Most greens in my garden sur- vived that frost a few weeks ago, but not two days of sub-zero Cel- sius recently. I raced around last Thursday harvesting lettuce, arugula, broccoli and dill, plus bright bouquets of zinnias and nasturtiums, then watched out the window on Friday as every- thing else keeled over and shrivelled up. Kale wins; it’s the only green left standing. I was surprised by how fast our leafy mul- berry tree went bare. Every breeze sent a rain of leaves fluttering down, and poof! By after- noon it was naked. Pretty amazing how on this watery planet life has to kowtow to win- ter. Anything not wrapped in fur or feathers or pumped full of antifreeze must retreat under- ground the moment liquid water turns to ice. As it did that night in our lily barrel. Which reminded me of another chore I’d better get done right away. And on Saturday actually managed to, heading to a local nat- ural area with a bottle of the most noxious- smelling concoction you could ever come across, to spray young trees we’d planted. Twigs and buds of which the local deer would soon be chomping on, now that the lush, tasty treats of summer have frizzled up in the frost. It takes human ingenuity and real deter- mination to keep baby trees safe from these browsing ungulates, which regularly trim white cedars and hemlocks, as well as aspen, yellow birch, mountain maples and many other deciduous trees as high as they can reach. I wish they would eat alien invasive plants like dog-strangling vine, garlic mus- tard, buckthorn and phragmites. But no, white-tailed deer prefer to munch on native trees and shrubs, including rare Carolinian cucumber magnolia trees we’ve been tend- ing for years now, hoping they’d outgrow the reach of deer. I thought several had, and was horrified to find one with a great swath of bark scraped off, where a buck had been rubbing his antlers. The wire mesh guard protecting the trunk was on the ground, likely knocked off by the feisty male in the grip of rutting fever. A neighbour had mentioned seeing a ten-point buck near a doe in his backyard just the other day— the same female that ate my tulips last spring. She successfully raised twin fawns this summer that are now nearly as big as she is, and with the buck around, it’s likely she’ll be raising more next year. I gritted my teeth, replaced the mesh guard and started spraying with a vengeance. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116.

Summer greens replaced by winter white The Great Outdoors Margaret CarneyInterest in this red grape variety has been steadily rising in recent years, mainly for several factors. It is early ripening, grows well in cool climates and produc- es abundant fruit. Most of all, when treated with respect, it produces quality wine. This relative of the Pinot Noir has ancient roots, which go back to the 14th century and most probably further. It became “based” in the Beaujolais region of France — the bet- ter wines coming from the acidic soil of the northern regions, rather than the alkaline soils of the southern regions. Gamay — or more properly, Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc — was high in acidity, which was softened through a method called “carbonic maceration,” where fermentation took place in a carbon dioxide environment deprived of oxygen. This generally resulted in a quick and light wine for easy drinking. Back in the late 19th century, harvest par- ties were initiated using quickly fermented “plonk” in Beaujolais, giving rise to the term “nouveau wine.” Gamay unfairly developed a poor repu- tation for quick and easy quaffing, with only the 10 best “villages” being noteworthy. In recent years, this vigorous and resilient grape variety has seen a resurgence of inter- est, especially in cool climates. When made in the traditional manner, it produces wine capable of aging with “village” wine such as Moulin a Vent and Morgon, developing very much like Burgundy, but at lesser cost. In fact, they’re entitled to call themselves “Bur- gundy,” though they choose not to. Gamay is now grown successfully throughout the globe and has found a very special home in Ontario, Canada. Here, it is a grape that flourishes, producing light to medium-bodied wine with complex fruit fla- vours of strawberry, cherry, pepper, cranber- ry and earth notes. Château des Charmes owner Paul Bosc is credited with finding and further develop- ing a mutation in his vineyards that is now recognized as a specific clone called Gamay Droit. As a food-friendly wine, Gamay has no rivals — being equally great with most meat dishes, seafood, fowl and vegetables. It is a great Christmas turkey wine.

In 2016 the number of part-time jobs skyrocketed, as 153,700 part-time jobs were added in comparison to only 60,400 full-time jobs. This was a dramatic decrease for full-time positions due to the fact that in previous years, around 156,000 full-time jobs were added. Although adding part-time jobs over full-time may be better for students and people who are unable to work full-time, it is not for people who need the income of a full-time job. For those people, having the added jobs be mostly part-time would mean that they would have to work more than one job. This would cause stress to employees and their work would become less valuable and be done poorly. Hopefully, in future years, the number of jobs for part-time and full-time workers will be equal once again. Jordan Thomson Whitby cOLUmn I’ve not been sleeping particularly well, lately. I don’t think it’s a men- tal or physical thing. My conscience is pretty clear and I generally get a decent amount of exercise every day. No, I think it may have more to do with the octogenarian cat whose favourite position of repose is wedged between my head and Kathryn’s. Why do cats do this? I don’t mind a dog on the bed. In fact I kind of like the weight and warmth of a loyal pal stretched out alongside me. And a dog knows his place … down near the bottom of the bed, or at least from the waist down. Not on my face. A dog can also take a hint. If I’m feel- ing like a little more leg room and my knee happens to nudge Owen’s rib cage, he gets up and leaves. He generally lets you know he’s a bit put out about it, but he gets off the bed. Not so, the cat. I’ve elbowed him, shoved him, picked him up and flung him to the bottom of the bed but, like a snorting, snuffling, runny-nosed hom- ing pigeon, he keeps coming back. Blithe- ly strolling over my chest and face to get to that sweet spot in-between our pil- lows. Sometimes he’ll even treat me to a good 10 or 15 minutes of cleaning him- self before he settles in to snooze. That’s always fun. It’s like someone running the soundtrack of a pornographic film direct- ly beside your ear. And he is loud. Incredibly loud. Even when he’s not snoring, his purr is like an idling Harley Davidson. When he curls up beside your jaw and starts that, you can lose a filling. But when the snoring kicks in, he takes it to another level. When his sinuses get plugged up, this little cat, who might weigh five pounds soaking wet, sounds like an outboard motor slog- ging through oatmeal. And sleep becomes impossible. At least, for me, it does. Kathryn, inex- plicably, is completely unfazed by the racket created by the furry, two-stroke, piston-throwing engine between our heads, and sleeps blissfully … that is, until I snore. If I even sigh or murmur in my sleep, she is immediately awakened and throw- ing all manner of knees and elbows my way until the situation rights itself. It’s like sleeping with Gordie Howe. Albeit, a very attractive Gordie Howe, who smells nice. So, any way you slice it, I’m in need of a good night’s rest. I’ve considered relo- cating to another bedroom, but I have a dark hunch that, with my luck, it’ll be the cat who follows me there and not Gordie Howe … I mean, Kathryn. -- Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column Peaceful night’s sleep hard to come by these days neil crone Enter Laughing How to submit a letter to the editor: EmaiL newsroom@durhamregion.com FaX 905-579-2238 Next year there will be municipal elec- tions across Durham Region and residents will be asked to cast votes for candidates they’d like to represent them. One way to determine whether your local councillor is worthy of your vote again in 2018 is to know how they voted at coun- cil on issues you feel are important. Mary Politician may be a lovely person and she may say all the right things when she comes knocking at your door, but how did she vote on key issues during her term in coun- cil? That’s not a simple answer the way our political system is currently set up because most issues and bylaws are passed by a sim- ple show of hands. To get a recorded vote, it must be requested and that doesn’t happen very often. But, a resident in Pickering is hoping to change the system to hold every councillor and mayor accountable. Peter Rodrigues, a former regional coun- cillor, spoke before Pickering council on Nov. 13, and said having votes recorded on every matter would enhance transparency and openness and would better inform resi- dents when choosing who they want to rep- resent them. He noted the votes should be easily accessible to residents. “This matter is about having a simple and clear method for residents to be able to quickly determine how their councillors and mayor have voted on all matters that came before council,” Rodrigues said. Currently, municipalities such as Lon- don, Toronto and Guelph record votes on all matters. At a glance, a resident is able to tell how their local representative voted on issues they feel are important. It also shows how often or not your councillor voted. Let’s face it, some councillors have good atten- dance records while others often miss votes, especially controversial ones they know could come back to haunt them. Wouldn’t you, as a resident, want that information? “There is nothing to fear. Your voting record is something you should be proud to have recorded and publicized,” Rodrigues said. We agree. Most people do not have the time or the interest to attend every council meeting. Let’s be honest, council meetings are prob- ably the last things people want to attend. However, the issues voted on at council have a direct impact on all of us and we should be able to access these recorded votes. We would urge every municipal coun- cil and regional council to adopt a recorded vote system. The costs would be minimal, but the benefits would many. Politicians can say a lot of things, but their voting records on issues of importance speak for themselves. Recorded votes would hold your councillors more accountable 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 6 , 2 0 1 7 9 AP Want to know what’s happening in Ajax?

A Courtice resident, Polonsky is the chair of the board of trustees of Ingeni- um, an organization made of three muse- ums including the science and technology museum. “The museum was created 50 years ago in what was a bakery and it was good and everyone really liked it, but as one flashes forward to half a century later, it was time for a total reboot.” Polonsky explains that when mould was found in the building, it accelerated the timetable to rebuild the museum which includes massive interior and exterior ren- ovations totalling 80,000 square feet and the creation of 11 new exhibits. The museum was the first museum opened during Canada’s Centennial in 1967 and now that space will reopen to the public on Nov. 17, in time for Canada’s ses- quicentennial. “We started off by having four key goals: to do it on time, on budget, to (open to) rave reviews and to be strategically impor- tant for the country,” said Polonsky. “I’m happy to report we achieved the first two — we are on time and on budget — and it will be up to the people to decide if we achieved three and four or not.” The museum has more than a million artifacts in its collection and Polonsky said the organization met with scientists, entre- preneurs, technology leaders and policy leaders when deciding on what kind of exhibitions to fea- ture. He said the goal was to excite Canadians — especially young Canadians — and to help Canada become a leading nation of innova- tion. Exhibits include Sound by Design, a look at the relationship between sound technology and human experience; Hid- den Worlds which will use hands-on expe- rience with microscopes and telescopes to explore the very small in the depth of the ocean to far away space; and Wearable Tech, a look at personal mobile technolo- gies developed since the early 20th centu- ry. As a grandfather, Polonsky said his favourite is the children’s exhibit designed around nine circle-themed modules that provide a multi-sensory experience. He said the exhibit tested positively with kids. “They seem to just fall in love with it and never want to leave.” For more information about the new Canada Science and Technology Museum visit ingeniumcanada.org/scitech. Durham resident helpsopen door to new national science and technology museum Gary Polonsky Keith Gilligan KGilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — Robert (Bob) Saunders’ head must have been spinning when he won $150,000. The Ajax resident won the money play- ing The Big Spin, the newest Ontario and Lottery Gaming Corp. (OLG) instant game. He won the money on Tuesday, Nov. 7, while doing the big spin at the OLG prize centre in Toronto. “I decided to buy The Big Spin Instant ticket because it was a new game and really different. My very first ticket was a winner. I only won $5 that time, but I was so happy I decided to buy a few more,” Saunders said. “The fourth ticket I played caught me by surprise. I scratched the word ‘SPIN’ and then saw the words ‘BIG SPIN’ on the lottery terminal screen. I couldn’t believe it. I play the lottery for fun, but never expected to win a top prize.” His wife Maryanne and son were with him when he spun the wheel, which is similar to the wheel on the Price is Right. When he found out he had won a chance to spin the wheel, Saunders want- ed to share the news right away with his wife, but knew that she couldn’t answer her phone. “Maryanne is a school bus driver so her phone was turned off,” he noted. “So I went to celebrate my big win with the wait- resses at my favourite coffee shop instead. Now that I’ve picked up my cheque, I’ll go back to the coffee shop and pay it forward by treating some customers and dropping off some gifts for the staff.” The father of two and grandfather of three has a couple of other plans in the making. “I’d like to buy my wife a new SUV and then take a driving trip to see family. Pay- ing down some debt is also a priority,” said Saunders. This win comes at good time for Saun- ders, a retired security guard, and his fam- ily. “I had to retire early in part due to health issues. I’ve had several small strokes over the years. It feels so great to be able to relax, knowing we have this wind- fall for our future,” Saunders added. The top prize in the game is $500,000.

While gambling is a fun pastime for many, experts are cautioning people to be aware when enjoyment crosses the line into addiction. “One of the signs is if you’re gambling and spending more time and money, which is reflective of tolerance, so if you need to spend more to get the same level of enjoy- ment,” said Steve Chiasson, registered psychotherapist and lead for problem gambling services with Lakeridge Health’s Mental Health and Pinewood Centre. “A more abstract concept is if you’re gambling to relieve emotional discomfort,” he continued. “It leaves the realm of a choice, as in I could take this or leave this, and becomes something you need to do. It becomes something that’s a driving force, you have this need or want to participate in gambling, and if you’re not there it tends to be a sense of discomfort. That can happen on different levels, it can happen with people simply buy- ing lottery tickets.” The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) also recent- ly took on the issue during Problem Gambling Prevention Week in October, reminding people to “know the signs.” “This program is about awareness,” said Heather Ly, project co-ordinator for the RGC. “We don’t want to tell people not to gamble, but we want to give them the information so that if they do choose to gamble they can do so safely.” She points to warning signs such as chasing losses, thinking of gambling as a way to make money, or spending more on gambling than you can afford. Emotional warn- ing signs are also important. “An example of an early emotional warning sign is if you start to think of gambling as not fun anymore,” Ly con- tinued. “If you’re experiencing anxiety about gambling or extreme highs or lows from wins or losses, so those are signs that shouldn’t be ignored.” While problem gambling isn’t as high profile as similar addiction issues such as substance abuse or alcoholism, Chiasson warns that it can actually be more addictive than substances when you consider the neurological effects. “As they continue they’re really changing the neurobi- ology, the neuropathways in the brain, and strengthening certain neuropathways that are associated with gambling,” he explained. “So, as you do more of this, you’re less capable of con- trolling it. The more primitive areas of the brain, like the amygdala, start to have more control over the behaviour. There’s almost an impairment in cognitive functioning that can occur.” These effects are what make the problem so serious. “I would say of all the behaviours people are faced with changing, all the behaviours we would call addictions, I would contend this is absolutely the most difficult one to change,” Chiasson said. “When you think about gambling, there’s no natural end point, there’s no point where you would be forced to stop. It’s not like drinking where you can only drink so much, it doesn’t have a natural end point and if it does it takes a long time to reach it.” He also points to the prevalence of gambling in society as a major trigger, from lottery tickets to charity raffles to casinos and sports betting, gambling is more accessible and more socially accepted than many other addictive issues. “You don’t have a choice to how the brain is being rewired by this, it can happen to anyone and the way it happens is with frequency and repetition,” he continues. “It’s the most powerful way to keep someone engaged in a behaviour and the most resistant to extinction.” For people who are struggling, or who know someone struggling, Chiasson recommends talking to an expert with experience dealing with problem gambling. “Talking to someone would be very helpful,” he said. “Really, people don’t change behaviour unless it’s going against their value system. That’s the real conversa- tion, how does gambling fit with your value system, how does it fit with your dreams and aspirations, does it help you achieve them?” For more information on problem gambling and how to find help, visit www.knowthesigns.ca. Experts shine spotlight on early signs of problem gambling Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland SCUGOG -- Exterior of the Great Blue Heron Casino near Port Perry. Experts say gambling is more accessible and more socially accepted than other forms of addictions. Gambling is also the most difficult addiction to control and change. You don’t have a choice to how the brain is being rewired by (gambling), it can happen to anyone and the way it happens is by frequency and repetition. -- Steve Chiasson, registered psychotherapist and lead for problem gambling services with Lakeridge Health’s Mental Health and Pinewood Centre “ 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 6 , 2 0 1 7 11 AP 50% off s sweaters’omenW and tops by A,VERO MOD .,STYLE&CO OR, YLAORD & TL TIONALINTERNA C.N.I ,SPAHS, CCONCEPT , VIN KLEIN SportswearALC C MIZRAHI, C ISAAIMNY DESIGN LAB and more** VERO AMOD$2499 eg. $50R 70% off$14999 Queen. egular $500R $179 King. egular $600R CKBLAUTYREST BEA European all-natural duvetdown 300-thread-count, cover cotton 100% .powerfill 650 with Save $80$3999 Regular $119.99 CROCK-POT 8-quart programmable slow cooker with Little Dipper $2999 Regular $79 Men’s DOCKERS Washed Khakis Available in select styles. $5999 Regular $120 CIRCUS BYSAM EDELMAN Vikki bootsVikki Plus, up to 70%off all other mattress sets Shop for mattresses in store or by phone:1-888-257-6784 Y SEAL osturepedicP uxuryProback L Fairmont II Euro topqueen mattress set Save $2500 $99999 .99egular $3499R Norainchecksandnopriceadjustments.Nopre-orders.Offeravailablewhilequantitieslast.Cannotbecombinedwithotheroffers.Selectionmayvarybystore.Savingsareoffourregularpricesunlessotherwisespecified.ExcludesHudson’sBayCompanyCollectionandGrandPortage.Seeinstorefordetails.*FREESHIPPING:Receivefreestandardshippingonatotalpurchaseamountof$99ormorebeforetaxes.Offerisbasedonmerchandisetotalanddoesnotincludetaxesoranyadditionalcharges.Freestandardshippingisappliedafterdiscountsand/orpromotioncodeoffers.OffernotvalidatHudson’sBayoranyotherHBCstores.AdditionalfeesapplyforExpressorNextDayShipping.AppliestoCanadiandeliveryaddressesonly.Excludesfurniture,majorappliances,canoes,patiofurniture,patioaccessories,barbecuesandmattresses.**Women’ssweatersexcludeAgnesB,AutumnCashmere,Beaufille,Carven,ChampionReverseWeave,DianeVonFurstenberg,EileenFisher,Eleventy,Equipment,EtreCecile,Facetasm,Ganni,HelmutLang,HorsesAtelier,Hugo,Joie,Judith&Charles,JuicyCouture,KarenBySimonsen,L’Academie,Lamarque,LaurenRalphLaurenBSR,Liebeskind,Line,Rails,LPA,Marella,MarquesAlmeida,MaxMaraStudio,Ministry ofStyle,MO&Co.,MO&Co.Edition,MooseKnuckles,MSGM,Muche&Muchette,Nic+Zoe,NJDJ,NYDJPlusSizes,OpeningCeremony,Paskal,Philanthropy,PoloRalphLauren,RachelComey,Rag&Bone,SeaNY,Sentaler,SoftJoie,St.Studio,SuperTrash,TbyAlexanderWang,TheRoom,Theory,Topshop,Tomorrowland,Vince,WeekendMaxMara,YuneHo,jackets,blazersanditemswith99¢priceendings;HHalston,IMNYCIsaacMizrahiandHighlineCollectiveexcludeF17-11FASHIONanditemswith99¢priceendings.‡Women’sdenimexcludesitemswith99¢priceendings.Women’scasualclothes excludesPeaceCollective. $3999 egular $84.95Rto $98 CK JEANS Ultimate Skinny and LEVI’S 711 Skinny 40% off s’other women denim and casual ,Yclothes by NOISY MA , GUESS, LEVI’SYONL VIDAO DALand BUFFON.BITT ‡ON.BITT ‡ON.BITT FRIDAY,NOVEMBER17THURSDAY,NOVEMBER16 SUNDAY,NOVEMBER19SATURDAY,NOVEMBER18 IN STORE AND AT THEBAY.COM FREE ONLINE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OF $99 OR MORE *ONEDAYONLY !

Grandview CEO Lorraine Sun- strum-Mann spoke to Pickering council on Nov. 13 about all the work that Grandview does, and shared examples of the children the centre helps from Pickering specifically. She noted 11 per cent of cli- ents at Grandview come from Pickering. Grandview’s main facility in Oshawa was built in 1983 to serve just 400 children. It now serves more than 6,000 children and youth with special needs annually in Durham Region and there are 3,000 more on a wait list. Grandview has outgrown its main facility in Oshawa and plans to relocate to Ajax. The Town of Ajax donated a five-acre parcel of land for the new facility in 2015. Grandview is asking all Dur- ham municipalities, save for Ajax, considering the land donation, to chip in for the bill, which is expected to cost $53 mil- lion. Sunstrum-Mann explained Grandview will remain at the current headquarters until the transition into the new facility. Ward 1 regional Coun. Kevin Ashe asked what the region has committed to, and Sun- strum-Mann said $3 million. Pickering council has not yet discussed whether or not it will make the contribution, but Mayor Dave Ryan asked that Sunstrum- Mann submit an official request to the city. The Pickering Mayor’s Gala taking place on Nov. 18 has chosen Grandview as one of the recipients of this year’s proceeds, which is separate from the centre’s request to coun- cil. 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 6 , 2 0 1 7 12 AP 172 Harwood A Suite 101,Ajax (located in the Ajax Plaza) 905-683-1391 •Dental Treatments for the whole family. •Digital X-Rays,Intra Oral Camera •Cosmetic Dentistry,Wisdom Teeth,Surgery, Dental Implants •Flexible Payment Options •TV’s in all rooms DentAl CAre for ADultS,KiDS AnD GreAt BiG BABieS.Celebrating 20 Years In Our Community!

The updates will incorporate regulations that would govern transportation network compa- nies (TNCs). TNCs utilize a mobile application to connect passengers with drivers for hire, and include ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft. The feedback collected will be used to develop new bylaw provi- sions for TNCs within the taxicab licensing bylaw, which currently outlines regulations for tradition- al taxi operators working within Pickering. Visit pickering.ca/TNC to view the bylaw and proposed updates, the recommended TNC regula- tions, and information on other municipal TNC regulations. Those interested in providing input can take the survey online at pickering.ca/TNC. They can also attend one of two public consultation sessions, being held on Wednesday, Nov. 22 at Pickering City Hall council cham- bers, located at One The Esplanade in Pickering.

Leaking basement?invest in your Foundation with over 35yrsexperience www.noleaks.ca905-686-6880 waterproofing 10year warranty! free estimates! professional and courteous service we will solvethe problem! Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time Water can damage anything it comes across, includingcarpets, flooring, furniture, drywall, electronics and more. At the first sign of water entering your basement, it’s time to callthe experts. Trying to repair it yourself can lead to delays andmore damage being done. You want to work with professionals who will repair your basement leak right the first time. The first step in repairing a basement leak is pinpointing where the problem is. Every home is unique, and there isn’ta one-size-fits all solution for every type of leak. You needsomeone with experience who can determine the source of the water and come up with the right solution. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing inAjax has been in the business for over 35 years and has beenin over 15,000 homes in Durham Region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says. Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon willdevise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest,most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of thehouse and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’sabsolutely necessary.” Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficientand cost effective by saving costly damages to exteriorlandscaping.” It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the longer you leave it, the more damage it will do. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with theproblem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have toget in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation. For more information,call Gordon at (905) 686-6880.

For those young people who have sprained the same ankle in the past, usu- ally our discussion will reveal what type of rehabilitation they completed before returning to sport after the previous sprain. It amazes me how often no pro- gressive functional rehabilitation is com- pleted before return to play. Here is a basic game plan for a young athlete sustaining an ankle sprain. Always have a health professional rule out fracture first. Missed fractures can cause long term functional problems later in life. At this point, assuming a grade 1-2 sprain is sustained, the first step is called PRICE: Protection to prevent further damage; Rest from sport to allow recovery time; Ice; Compression; Elevation to help keep joint swelling down. After following PRICE for three to five days, introduce basic range of motion exercises while the ankle is elevated. Next, standing weight bearing on the ankle, perform slow calf raises on flat ground to activate the surrounding mus- cles, followed by walking if the athlete is able. It is important that tissues start to heal under lines of stress, but at the same time pain levels must be monitored as the athlete does not want to sustain a setback. Once the above exercises are fair- ly pain-free, proprioceptive exercis- es should begin. This involves different combinations of balancing on the ankle using the muscles and tendons crossing the joint. These exercises help to further activate and strengthen the stabilizing muscles. This is an important step that is usually missed that helps to prevent the reoccurrence of ankle sprains. The athlete should further progress through jogging, followed by running in a straight line. Next, the athlete should start running in large figure eights. If no pain is felt, the figure eights should shrink in size to chal- lenge the lateral stabilizers of the ankle. Finally a shuttle run should be com- pleted with stops and starts on either end of a 15-20 metre length. If athletes are able to progress through these steps pain-free, they are ready to return to play. Dr. Andrew Fagan is a licensed chiropractor, kinesiologist and clinical acupuncture provider.

In a newly-created challenge between the two Durham Region clubs, the Panthers prevailed 3-1 Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex in the first of four meetings this season. A power-play goal by defenceman Mitchell Doyle broke a 1-1 deadlock late in the second period, and Joshua Jones added an insurance tally late in the third for the Panthers. Josh Argier opened the scoring 13 minutes into the second period for Pickering, before a short-handed goal by Shane Bull just over two minutes later tied it up briefly for Whitby. Brooklin’s Ethan Langevin made 29 saves for the win in net, while the Fury’s Nate McDonald also made 29 saves in defeat. The Panthers also knocked off the Markham Royals at home, 4-2 on Sun- day, to improve to 9-10-1-1 this season, good for seventh place in the North/ East conference. Brock Traill, acquired from the Lindsay Muskies, scored his first goal with the Panthers, the clincher into an empty net. Andrew Poulias, Massimo Petricca and Doyle also scored, while Adam Wisco made 23 saves for the win. The Fury were able to salvage some- thing of the weekend and snap an 11-game winless streak with a 5-1 win over the Stouffville Spirit Sunday in Whitby. They’re now at 4-13-3-1 for the season and seven points out of a playoff spot in tenth place in the conference. Jason Stachelbeck, acquired from Aurora, scored twice for the Fury, while Riley McCutcheon, Liam Robertson and Bull tallied once each. Luke Pear- son stopped 26 shots for his first OJHL win. The Fury have been busy on the trade front, finally dealing Steven Elliott — who was acquired in a trade with the Panthers but did not report — to the Trenton Golden Hawks for Dylan Latty. In addition to Stachelbeck, the Fury also received Greg Smith from Auro- ra for Brock Welsh, who led Whitby in scoring. The Panthers sent Stefan Palatsidis and Gregory Arnburg to Lindsay for Traill. Both teams have also been hit with suspensions from Sunday’s games, the Panthers losing defenceman Dustyn McFaul for at least seven games for a physical abuse of official penalty and the Fury losing Austin Ulett for five games for head contact. The Panthers, currently in the midst of a seven-game home stretch, will host Trenton (11-12-1-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 17 and Lindsay (3-17-0-0) 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19. The Fury are in Aurora (12-7-1-1) Friday and at home against Markham (12-9-1-1) Saturday, at 12:30 p.m. start at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. Panthers take Round 1 of new Bollocks Cup Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Andrew Poulias looked to pass the puck during Ontario Junior Hockey League action against the Whitby Fury at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday.

SportS Ajax boxer Robert Serrano joins the fight to end cancer DURHAM — Robert Serrano from the Ajax Boxing Club and Thad Ridsdill of the Motor City Boxing Club will both be stepping into the ring to honour their grandparents and hopefully help others avoid their fate when they take part in the Fight to End Can- cer event as part of the Gentlemen’s Expo in Toronto on Friday, Nov. 24. Serrano, 16, and Ridsdill, 35, have both lost two grandparents to cancer, they explain on the event’s website, which is what com- pelled them to take part. “Cancer can affect anyone, it doesn’t dis- criminate by race, age, gender, or anything at all,” Serrano wrote. “I am thrilled to be a part of this event, to help those battling cancer, as well as their loved ones.” “Cancer attacks us all; the rich, the poor, the young and old, man and woman, black and white,” Ridsdill agreed. “I have loved ones who have battled the disease and won, I have loved ones who are still battling the disease and, unfortunately, I have loved ones who have lost their battle.” Serrano will lead off the five-bout card against Aden Djama from Top Glove Boxing Academy, while Ridsdill will be part of the co-main event against Mark Smither. The 141-pound Serrano started boxing at the Ajax club in 2014 and now has seven fights under his belt. He has competed in various club shows, as well as the Bronze Gloves and Silver Gloves in 2017. Serrano practised muay thai and jiu jitsu for about a year, but preferred the hand skills much more than other forms of striking and grappling, which led him to begin box- ing. His dad, also an avid boxing fan, raised Robert in a Filipino household, where every Manny Pacquiao fight was a family event. He is coached by Bernard Dadula, John Zammit and Colin Matchim. “My club, my coaches and the sport of boxing all mean so much to me,” he explained. “The boxing club became my sec- ond home and the people there are like a second family.” Ridsdill currently competes in the mid- dleweight division and has an amateur record of 34-16. He hopes to turn pro in the near future. Tickets to the Gentlemen’s Expo cost $25 and can be purchased at www.fighttoend- cancer.com. The goal is to raise $10,000 goal in support of the fight to end cancer. 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 6 , 2 0 1 7 26 AP • No Cost or Fee to Apply • Approval within 48 Hours • Thousands Paid Monthly! • See Website for Application Deadline.

Until then, hard work will be the key ingredient, says Roger Hunt, vice-president and general manger of the struggling Ontario Hockey League club. Playing without six regulars, including No. 1 goalie Kyle Key- ser, the Generals dropped both ends of a home-and-home set with the Ottawa 67’s over the weekend, and have now lost five straight games and fallen five points deep into last place in the Ontario Hockey League’s East Division. “It’s disappointing to lose a game, let alone five straight, but there are some factors around it,” Hunt said. “Hopefully, we can get some bodies back here starting with Thursday. “We’ve got to find a way to win, and we’ve got to try to find a way to win starting Thursday,” he said. “The only way to get through anything is through hard work.” Oshawa Generals’ losing streak hits five games Coming off losses of 5-3 in Ottawa Fri- day and 6-2 in Oshawa Sunday, the Gen- erals (8-10-2-0) have three more Eastern Conference games coming up this week, travelling to Peterborough (12-8-0-1) Thursday and Mississauga (8-10-0-1) Fri- day before hosting the Barrie Colts (12-4- 1-1) Sunday at 6:05 p.m. Oshawa now sits seventh in the confer- ence, just one point ahead of eighth-place Mississauga and two ahead of ninth-place Sudbury (6-12-4-0). Nick Wong, who had three goals and three assists as Canada Red won silver at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in British Columbia, will be back in the line- up Thursday, as well as perhaps injured forward Renars Krastenbergs. Forward Eric Henderson will return from a two-game suspension Friday and defenceman Riley Stillman from a five- game ban Sunday, but the return dates of injured Kyle MacLean and Keyser remain uncertain. 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 6 , 2 0 1 7 27 AP Kingsway College 1200 Leland Road,OSHAWA (Townline North of King St.) ONE DAY ONLY!SUNDAY NOVEMBER 26th 10:00 AM -4:30 PM BRING CASH NO ATM ON PREMISES FREE PARKINGDOORPRIZES ADULTS $6.00 •SENIORS $5.00 KIDS 16 &UNDER FREE In partnershIp wIth: www.metrolandshows.comwww.durhamregion.com SAVING YOU MORE For more details go instore or online @thebrick.com.

ADVERTISING FEATURE How to get your car ready for the winter To ensure a safe winter on the roads this year, you’ll need to perform the necessary vehicle checks. Follow this guide to avoid missing any critical steps! Vehicle checks: Make sure that you have enough air in your tires, that your windshield wipers are in good condition and that your car battery isn’t corroded. Next, test your heating and defrosting systems, as well as the headlights and blinkers, and make sure to lubricate the locks. Once you’ve performed the necessary vehicle checks, top up all uids (brake, transmission, windshield), and change your engine oil at the same time. For a thorough inspection, consider having your car checked by a professional mechanic. He or she will assess the condition of your vehicle and perform any minor repairs before the winter worsens the wear. Equipment checks: Always be prepared for the unexpected! Make sure to keep an extra gallon of antifreeze and windshield uid in your car. But that’s not all! You should also have an emergency survival kit that contains a shovel, an ice scraper, a broom, jumper cables, a towing cable, warm clothing, non-perishable foods, emergency ares and a ashlight. Lastly, take a minute to check the expiry date on all items in your rst aid kit.

See more events at www.durhamregion.com-events Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- Pickering’s Christian Corrao is set to co-star in his first feature film, with independent film company A24. Christian, 6, has been in commercials, a made-for-TV movie and several television series, including Saving Hope. For the second time, Christian this year is nominated for a Joey award, given to young actors. Six-year-old in first feature film Mike Ruta MRuta@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Christian Corrao announced to his family that he was going to be on TV. And it didn’t take the Pickering boy long to make good on his vow. At age six, he’s about to co-star in his first feature film, entertainment com- pany A24’s adaptation of Pippa Bian- co’s award-winning short film, Share. “Just saying the words,“ Christian answers when asked what he likes about acting. It’s not work for him, just playing. Asked if he’d like to be an actor when he grows up, Christian is quick to reply, “When I’m older, I can be a director.” In many ways, Christian is like any other boy. He’s quick to rhyme off all of the foods he likes, but specifies he isn’t a fan of squash or maple syrup. It’s the same with sports: he likes many of them, especially hockey, which he plays in Scarborough, but notes, “I definitely don’t like football” (because playing it can result in head injuries). However, in other ways he’s unlike most kids. Christian’s agent, BookIt- Talent’s Pat Jarosz, describes him as “a seasoned veteran at the age of six. He likes being in front of the camera and delivering his lines and is so at ease it seems like he’s been doing it for many years. “We saw it in him early,” says dad Vin- cent Corrao, adding that Christian has a talent for memorization and would act out what he saw on TV. Mom Sonia Corrao marvels at how well he handles himself in front of adults, as if he’s right at home. He’s also able to adapt easily to anything. Christian has a growing resume, hav- ing been in a number of commercials and several TV series, such as Odd Squad and Saving Hope. He’s doing a voice over in the upcoming Esme and Roy cartoon and soon begins shooting the feature film in Mississauga. For the second time, Christian has been nominated for a Joey Award, the Academy Awards for young people, for his work on Dino Dana. The awards will be handed out at the gala in Van- couver on Nov. 18. Back to the acting-as-a-career ques- tion, and Sonia Corrao suggests Chris- tian has a lot of time to figure out his future plans. “He’s having fun,” she says. “Who knows. He’s six.” Pickering’s Christian Corrao a star in the making Second Barra MacNeils show added in Oshawa DURHAM — Well, that was fast.

Mike Mandel, billed as the world’s great- est hypnotist, has been amazing and entertaining audiences for more than 40 years. On March 3, 2018, he performs for a final time at the Regent Theatre in Oshawa. “Definitely a do not miss opportunity!” states a media release. “Mike Mandel’s hypnosis show is best described as ‘com- edy meets high-velocity trance.’ Using nothing more than the power of sugges- tion and his rapier wit, Mike guides his volunteers through increasingly ludicrous mental excursions, each displaying a bril- liant sense of imagination and creativity.” The show is at 8 p.m. and tickets are $40. For tickets, go to regenttheatre.ca, visit the box office at 50 King St. E. or call 905- 721-3399, ext. 2.
