With children going back to school soon, hopes are high that the new speed board in Fairport Beach, which has three elemen- tary schools nearby, will prevent cars from whizzing past at dan- gerous speeds. The new board is the result of a partnership between the City of Pickering and the Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Associa- tion. The association presented a cheque to the city for $1,500 at the last regular meeting of council, and just weeks later, a board was installed on Oklahoma Drive in Pickering.

A special thanks to Victoria, who stayed behind in my constituency office and continued to assist the great people of Ajax during the campaign.

To the sign guys, Nino and Andy; Desi, Pepsi Joe, Paul, Wayne, Vince and Frank, and Ray – again you outdid yourselves. To the hundreds of folks who door knocked with me and phone canvassed; dropped literature and input data; put out lawn signs and then collected them when the campaign was over; drove people to vote and brought us incredible meals – I say THANK YOU! We were blessed on our team to have several hundred Ajax and area residents come out and assist us. I congratulate my Toronto and Pickering opponents for their success, in particular our new MPP Rod Phillips from Toronto, and Monique Hughes of Pickering. We had no out of town paid helpers and no media assistance during our campaign. It worked hard against us, regardless of ethics.

P ICKERING - Two men are facing a combined 52 charges in c onnection with a string of hair s alon break-ins in Pickering earlier this year. B etween January and Feb- ruary 2018, police said eight sa- lons in Pickering were broken into - in most cases the front g lass door was smashed with a hammer and the cash register was taken. Police laid charges after connecting two suspects to a stolen vehicle that was used in connection with several break- ins. C ory Crockett, 36, of Calver- ley Trail in Scarborough and Karl Battle, 33, of Tisdale Street in Hamilton both face charges including theft of a motor vehi- cle, break and enter, posses- sion of break and enter tools and possession of property ob- tained by crime over $5,000. Anyone with new informa- tion about the investigation is asked to call Durham Regional Police at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2308 or make an anonymous tip to Durham Regional Crime Stop- pers at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca or 1-800-222- 8477.

The board may look simple, but it's quite com- plex. "This one's the most high tech speed board that's ever been installed," said Ward 1 City Coun. Maurice Brenner. Basically, it provides weekly reports of either daily or hourly volumes of traffic, average speeds and the 85th percentile, the speed at or below which 85 per cent of all vehicles are travelling, explained direc- tor of engineering services Richard Holborn. "It gives out maximums and minimums, per cent of vehicles that are violating the speed limit," he said. Brenner said police can use the stats collected from the board to determine how to prioritize enforce- ment. The installation all came together when com- munity association mem- bers researched speed boards and found one that would be far less expensive than the one the city had budgeted for. "It's been an ongoing project for the past six months," said White. But the community has been concerned about the speeding on the street for years. "We don't want to wait until there's some statistic or serious accident involv- ing somebody for enforce- ment," said White. Brenner said during budget discussions, the city had earmarked a board costing around $6,000. The one the commu- nity association found was $3,000, and the city selected that option. The neighbourhood as- sociation's membership chair Garry Winsor took an interest in getting a speed board for the neigh- bourhood and was a driv- ing force behind the pro- ject. "Around school zones it's paramount," he said of taking measures to control speed. He's already seen a change in the mentality of drivers. "I've noticed them slow- ing down," he said. So far, the highest speed clocked was 111 kilometres per hour in the 40-km zone. "Everything that's caught is through a radar that's built into the unit," said Nathan Emery, co-or- dinator of traffic opera- tions. He said the board changes colours depend- ing on the speed. And the numbers will cut off at a specific speed, to keep rac- ers from using the board to clock their high speeds. "It removes the games that some of these drivers are playing," said Brenner. Currently, municipali- ties are waiting for the Province of Ontario to so- lidify an act that allows municipalities to use photo radar within designated areas including school zones. Last year the prov- ince passed the Safer School Zones Act, but it still needs to proclaim the changes in effect before municipalities can move ahead with it. This sign has the ability to perform photo radar. "It is definitely working and it will definitely make the (area) much safer," Brenner said of the new board. "Are we still going to do enforcement? It's in- evitable." Some members of the neighbourhood associa- tion have gained access to the data. The public can even look at snapshots online. "The public can access it through a public web link," said Holborn. Holborn said the city would consider more part- nerships to curb speeding. "We'll work with a com- munity group," he said. "If they're able to raise funds to contribute to this I think it's a great partnership and working relationship."

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARYI am an unabashed tree- hugger. Literally and metaphor- ically. I love and honour every green thing I come across. I have been known to stop, on a hike through a forest, or even on a brief stroll around my own property, place my hands on some old giant gnarled trunks and thank them. Thank them for shading and protecting my home from the elements, for the music their leaves make, for the riot of fall colours that make my world so beautiful, and, most of all, for pumping all of that wonderful, life-giving oxy- gen into the atmosphere. In exchange for all of that I have told them that I will do everything in my power to look after them, as they and their ancestors have looked after us. I wish more of us would do this. I was in a coffee house recently and laughed dark- ly as I read the printing on some recycled paper cups they were using. "We're saving the envi- ronment!" Really? Is that what we're doing? Because, I don't think the environment is the one that needs saving. The en- vironment, regardless of what we two-legged, myo- pic, morons do to it, will re- generate and right itself. It may take a few million years, but the environment doesn't wear a wristwatch. It has the time. The only real casualty in this equation is the hu- man race. We will be gone. We are the ones who need saving. Trust me, the trees won't miss us. Not for a sec- ond. So it might be nice if some of those slogans that have become so pat and, subsequently completely ignorable, were reworked. How about "We're saving humankind!" or "We're sav- ing our great grandchil- dren!" or even, "We're so sorry. We messed up." While we're at it, every car, in every idling, stink- ing drive-thru should have a bumper sticker that pro- claims "Doing my part to choke the next genera- tion!" or "My kid has asth- ma!" or just plain "I don't give a rats patootie!" That is the long and short of it, folks. Don't do it for the trees, or the lakes or the air. They will be just fine. Do it for your children and your children's chil- dren. They're the ones who will take it in the teeth. Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column DON'T SAY WE'RE SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE SAYS WE NEED SAVING MORE THAN THE TREES, LAKES OR AIR NEIL CRONE Column THE LIBERAL SEX-ED CURRICULUM HAZARDOUS FOR OUR KIDS To the editor: The provincial sex-ed curriculum is dreadful. It is hazardous to the health and lives of our children. It starts indoctrinating them from Grade 1. Sounds an awful lot like commu- nism. It teaches about anal sex. People who practise this have a 3,000 per cent higher risk of catching HIV than others. It talks about gender identity. Identity confusion is considered "gender dys- phoria" disorder by the American Psychiatric As- sociation. In a 30-year study in Sweden, it was found that those who had sex reas- signment surgery commit- ted suicide at 20 times that of their peers. And there's no going back. The previous Liberal government consulted 4,000 parents when devel- oping this program. A con- fessed child pornographer also had input. Who are these people? Where did they come from? How were they selected? Who said they speak for the millions of parents in Onta- rio? Parents spoke out loud- ly against the 2010 curricu- lum. The president of the left- wing OSSTF has criticized the move back to the 1998 model. Who says he speaks for all the union's teachers? I belonged to a union. They never spoke for me on political issues. Government has no business teaching six-year- olds about sex. Sex education in the ear- ly years belongs solely to the parents. It should not be taught until high school. And par- ents should have the right to opt out of any sex-ed pro- grams that violate their re- ligious values, which is protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Free- doms. And if people really knew what was in this new program they would be against it. It should never see the light of day. JOE PROCHAZKA, OSHAWA TRUDEAU THREATENS FREEDOM OF SPEECH SAYS READER To the editor: I just watched a story on CBC News about a woman who questioned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was at a rally in Que- bec, about the cost to Que- bec of the illegal immi- grants and if Quebec is go- ing to be reimbursed for the cost. Trudeau proceeded to accuse her of racism and intolerance. She was phys- ically escorted from the rally. I only hope this woman lays charges against Tru- deau and his cronies for the way she was treated. Anyone who challenges, questions, disagrees with Trudeau's immigration policies is labelled racist and intolerant. What hap- pened to freedom of speech? It is my opinion that our freedom of speech in Cana- da is being taken away by "Saint Trudeau."

But what about more subtle forms of workplace bullying, like ignoring an employee, or assigning them to dangerous tasks? A University of Toronto Institute of Technology (UOIT) professor is hoping a new survey will shed light on the "covert" forms that workplace bullying can take. "A lot of people can real- ly only identify those things that are very overt, like physical or sexual vio- lence, or name calling," says criminology research- er Hannah Scott. "The idea is to get at the more covert acts, which will help people be able to articulate what is happening to HR, or a su- pervisor." She says subtle bullying can be something as simple as being ignored by your boss when you say "good morning." The online survey is anonymous and confiden- tial. There were already more than 250 responses a few days after it opened in mid-August. "I have never worked on a project with a response like this one," Scott says. "I think people just want to feel validated about some of the terrible workplace experiences they have had at the hands of a bad boss." The survey was devel- oped in partnership with Durham Region Labour Council, and inspired by Scott's own personal expe- riences with workplace bullying, as well as conver- sations with others. Scott says workplace bullying can have a major impact on an employee's health and well-being, with victims reporting every- thing from anxiety and de- pression, to more frequent illness. She hopes the survey will be both cathartic - al- lowing people to share their stories - and give peo- ple practical help speaking up if they are being bullied at work. "Once they can name the abuse, that empowers people to make changes." The survey is available at www.uoit.ca/workpla- cebullying until Sept. 15. NEWS IS YOUR BOSS A BULLY?

Please visit our BRAND NEW website at DP3 888-925-3265 107 Warren Rd., Whitby DURHAM - Durham hospitals are underfund- ed compared to the pro- vincial average and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is warning they could lose up to 125 beds if the new provincial government meets its budget commit- ments. Michael Hurley, presi- dent of the Ontario Coun- cil of Hospital Unions (a division of CUPE), has been touring Ontario to raise awareness of the is- sue "hallway medicine" and spoke about specific local challenges during an Oshawa stop. Hurley said the issue of "hallway medicine" - where patients are left waiting in hospital hall- ways for beds - was a hot topic during the last pro- vincial election with all three parties promising to end it. He said Ontario al- ready underfunds the hos- pital system, spending $400 less per person on acute care hospitals than any other province. "Just so we're not parti- san about this, that trend really began under Dalton McGuinty," he said. Per capita, it means Ontario has fewer acute care beds than other provinces and fewer staff to take care of those patients. Hurley said the average hospital stay costs $5,992 in Canada while in Onta- rio it's $5,360. "At Lakeridge it's $4,105," he said. "That's an enormous difference which may explain why you have trouble getting into Lakeridge. The in- vestment just isn't there." He points out the occu- pancy rate at Lakeridge's Oshawa, Ajax and Bow- manville sites was 90 per cent last year. "In Britain anything over 85 per cent would be considered unsafe be- cause as you go over that threshold the amount of time that doctors, nurses and every other staff has to spend with you is dilut- ed," said Hurley. "So your incidence of medical er- rors goes up but also the risk of a hospital-acquired infection." He said a consequence of overcrowding is that hospitals have to dis- charge people before they're ready. "You'll see interesting- ly enough that Lakeridge Health's readmission rate has increased more quick- ly than Ontario and Cana- da's rates, it's now 9.1 per cent and that means just a little under one in 10 pa- tients sent home from La- keridge is coming back to be readmitted," he said. "If Ford and Chrysler were producing cars and one out of 10 had to be re- turned to the dealership, you'd have a public outcry, that's a really sad stat." Hurley says the overall issue is inadequate pro- vincial funding for Lake- ridge and the Canadian Union of Public Employ- ees (CUPE) projects the problem will become worse if Doug Ford and the Progressive Conserva- tive government keep promises related to a cor- porate tax cut, balanced budget and four per cent public service efficiency program. Hurley said the govern- ment would have to cut be- tween $13 billion and $22 billion. "It's going to be really hard to make those kind of spending cuts - even the four per cent - avoiding health care," he said, add- ing the province's debt costs are fixed. "You've got education, health and so- cial services. Really, they're the largest budget items so we don't imagine you can make reductions without targeting health." Hurley points out 42 temporary flu and mental health beds added last year have not been re- newed this year. "We believe if you apply that lower number of $13 billion ... you would have to cut those 42 seasonal beds and you would also have to cut between 80 and 125 permanent beds to make that target," said Hurley. "We're predicting Ontario Shores would lose between 41 and 89 (staff) positions and Lakeridge between 167 and 364." David Jensen, a spokes- person for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, said the ministry is not aware of any staffing or service reductions in Durham Region. "CUPE is speculating on potential job and bed losses and the ministry is unable to confirm any of the numbers suggested in the report," he said. "The ministry is committed to an efficient, stable, hospi- tal system that ensures patients receive timely ac- cess to quality health care." However Hurley ar- gues Ontario needs to in- crease health-care spend- ing as the baby boomers age requiring more health care. "Ontario is going to have to accept its going to have to increase its invest- ments, unfortunately," he said. "It has to start fund- ing hospitals like Lake- ridge and Ontario Shores at their real cost."

Sabrina Byrnes/Metroland COMMUNITY DURHAM -- An off-duty Durham police officer has been charged with sexual assault. Members of the Durham Regional Police Services professional standards unit investigated an allegation this month brought for- ward by a woman regard- ing the conduct of an off-du- ty officer. As a result of the investi- gation, Jack Stelwagen, 40, has been charged with sex- ual assault. He was released on a promise to appear before an officer in charge. A constable assigned to West Division, he has been suspended from duty. Stel- wagen has been an officer with Durham police since 2007. In 2016, Const. Stelwagen was rewarded for his calm and compassionate re- sponse to a fight call in Ajax where a male was stabbed. He started first aid while coordinating other re- sponding officers. The male lost about 60 per cent of his blood and doctors credit Const. Stalwagen for saving his life that night. Anyone with new infor- mation about this investi- gation is asked to call Sgt. Hollister at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 4361 or Sgt. Walker at ext. 4366. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), on- line at Crime Stoppers and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Durham woman gets out of the shower to find man hiding in her closet OSHAWA - Police have issued a warrant after an Oshawa woman stepped out of the shower to find a man hiding in her closet.

NEWS INFO SESSION ON SMALL COMMERCIAL BOATS COMING UP AUG. 30 IN DURHAM Pizza toppings are unique to everyone. Some people believe pineapple should never be anywhere near the top of a pizza. Still others avoid mushrooms. There are even a few people, thankfully not many, who do not enjoy delicious peppero- ni on their pizzas. Everyone has their favourite toppings. When it comes to crusts, however, there's not a lot of choice. For pizza lovers with glu- ten allergies, more and more pizza shops have included gluten-free crusts. This has become a popular item around my house. But cauliflower crust piz- za? This is something spe- cial. Pizza Pizza launched this new crust in July, to much fanfare. "Pizza Pizza has always been a consistent innovator and we know consumers are on the hunt for trend-worthy meals that help them incor- porate more vegetables into their diet. Our new Cauli- flower Crust Pizza is our way of filling the void in the mar- ket," said Paul Goddard, CEO, Pizza Pizza. "It will of- fer consumers the perfect healthier alternative they've been looking for in a pizza, without compromising on taste." The new crust has a simi- lar texture to regular Pizza Pizza pizza crust and con- tains two servings of vegeta- bles in every 12-inch pizza, with real cauliflower as the main ingredient. The cauli- flower crust is available in medium size and can either be ordered custom or in one of the two new, specially crafted recipes, including: Cauli Pesto: Pesto sauce base, mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, spinach and Italia- no blend seasoning Cauli Blanca: Olive oil base, mozzarella cheese, ar- tichokes, grilled zucchini, roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese and Italiano blend seasoning. "We know there's been an appetite to use cauliflower as a base for many dishes, but it can be time-consum- ing and messy to make from scratch, with expectations rarely meeting the realities," said Alyssa Huggins, vice- president of marketing for Pizza Pizza. "We're excited to bring a healthy option that is able to marry taste and con- venience." The crust is a source of fi- bre and iron, and is gluten- free and vegan. To order yours, visit any of the Pizza Pizza restaurant locations across Durham Region, or visit www.pizza- pizza.ca/ FOOD AND DRINK PIZZA PIZZA OFFERS ANOTHER HEALTHY OPTION FOR PIZZA LOVERS Pizza Pizza now offers a healthier Cauliflower Crust Pizza.

The curricu- lum the government wants teachers to use was written in 1998, not 2014. Trying to placate t he public by insisting t hat it is a 2014 health and physical education curriculum, is insulting t o our intelligence and j ust not true. What has the govern- ment's response been to real concerns made by medical professionals, health-care profession- als and teachers? That it is only a brief change, t hat no students will be hurt by going back 20 years. This is absolutely not true and demon- strates that our current Ontario government does not understand the realities of today's stu- dents and their families. In response to how t eachers should handle questions, the govern- m ent suggested, if a t eacher is asked a ques- t ion, that they can have private one on one con- versations with stu- dents. That is not only dangerous to our profes- sional career but also sends a message that students should feel shame for asking diffi- cult questions, should h ide how they are feel- ing and what they are wondering or seek help when in trouble. It ig- n ores the realities of what our students live every day and only puts t hem in potentially h armful situations. As teachers, we are responsible for prepar- ing our students for life, for giving them the tools and knowledge about t he world they are ac- t ively participating in. T he 2015 health and physical education cur- r iculum gives us, as edu- cators, the tools we need t o engage our students and to support them on t heir education journey. The 2015 curriculum c overs the reality of what our students live: •It's about recogniz- ing uniqueness and dif- f erences • It's about respecting e ach other and self • It's about creating a safe place to learn • It's about allowing all to be part of our school community •It's about creating a sense of belonging I t is also about keep- ing students safe. Safe when interacting on the internet and social me- d ia, safe from abuse and safe from bullies. But it is also about c reating critical think- e rs: •Creating students who can stand up for t hemselves and say no •Creating students t hat are aware of how to e xpress what is wrong a nd how to get help •Creating students t hat know how to keep t hemselves healthy and a ctive •Creating students t hat know about their p hysical health and well a s their mental health T he 2015 curriculum is relevant, important a nd necessary for all students and teachers. Taking away the tools we u se in the classroom to support and teach our students is blatant dis- respect for our students a nd teachers. If this gov- e rnment wants to spend m ore money by offering m ore consultation, then g o with that plan but do n ot place our students at risk and discount the importance of the 2015 h ealth and physical edu- cation curriculum. Let u s teach from it until t here is something new for us to use. That is the respectful and responsi- b le thing to do for every- o ne!
