DurhamRegion.com P ICKERING -- The City of Pickering has spruced up an ar- ea by the lake that experienced tree loss that many residents described as devastating in the s pring. In March, Pickering and the Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority (TRCA) re- m oved around 160 trees along B eachpoint Promenade to ac- commodate road widening and other plans for the phase 1 re- construction of Rotary French- m an's Bay West Park. Hazardous and invasive spe- cies, such as Manitoba maple, Buckthorn and Tree of Heaven were also taken down. "These all over time will get rotted out and fall down and po- t entially cause risk to our resi- dents," said Arnold Mostert, Pickering's senior co-ordinator of landscape and parks devel- opment. Residents were upset when they learned some healthy, ma- ture trees would be removed too. The removal accommodat- ed road widening and lay-by parking along Beachpoint Promenade. T he tree branches and un- derstorey vegetation were Connor Arnsby compacted a path as work continued at Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Park in Pickering Sept. 20. In the spring, the city and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority removed 160 trees to make way for work in the park. The trees have now been replaced and the city is going to open up the park again to the public soon.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland WALKING FOR BLADDER CANCER CURE DURHAM - Costco members in Ajax, Picker- ing and Oshawa don't even have to go to the store to buy groceries. The company has an- nounced an expansion of Costco Grocery to the three communities, offer- ing delivery of groceries to the door of residents and businesses. "We are very excited about the expansion of Costco Grocery in the Ajax/Pickering/Oshawa area," said Andrée Brien, Costco Canada's senior vice-president and senior general merchandise manager. "This new shop- ping option makes a wider selection of quality goods available to members and businesses in the city." Initially launched in Toronto and Southern Ontario markets in July, the service has been so successful the company has decided to expand the program to the rest of Southern and Eastern On- tario - from Windsor to Ot- tawa. The new service fea- tures hundreds of grocery items, including health and beauty aid products along with vitamins and supplements. All one needs to do is visit costco.ca and select "grocery" to get started. All orders come with a two-day delivery guaran- tee with no delivery fees for orders over $75. "We've been very pleased with the initial member reaction and our ability to meet their ex- pectations, which is why we are taking another step toward our ultimate goal of offering this ser- vice throughout the coun- try," Brien said. While Costco Whole- sale clubs offer 3,500 high quality items, Costco.ca features a selection of more than 19,000 items for purchase. Open to members only, Costco Wholesale helps small to medium-size businesses save money on both supplies and items for resale, providing a wide range of products and services for members' business and personal use. The annual fee for a Costco membership is $60 for a business member- ship or $60 for a gold star membership. All Costco Wholesale memberships include a free spouse card, and are valid at Costco locations around the world.

Fastforward six months and the trees have been replaced. "Due to the concerns we were able to increase the size of a lot of trees that were brought in," said Richard Hol- born,Pickering's director of engineering services. Nine of the proposed trees were substituted with large caliper trees brought in by a tree spade. Some of the trees are as high as 30 feet, said Mostert. Ward 1 city coun. Mau- rice Brenner recently saw the work and said "the mature trees are just phenomenal. "You just have to go down there and it already l ooks like it's been refor- ested," he said at the last c ouncil meeting. T he replanting in- c ludes 150 new deciduous and coniferous trees in- c luding the nine large c aliber spaded trees. "All the trees, shrubs and perennials are plant- ed now," said Mostert. More than 800 new shrubs and upwards of 10,000 plants were plant- ed. P hase 1 of the park's re- c onstruction is expected to cost north of $2 million. Besides the planting, work includes the recon- struction of Beachpoint Promenade to the first parking lot and lay-by parking, construction of the Waterfront Trail, a small picnic area, a small kiosk, interpretive sig- nage, and construction of a turn-around circle, said H olborn. T he park is expected to re-open to the public in the coming weeks. A chunk of the cost is being offset by a grant from a charitable organi- zation with a mission to build a national move- ment of active, informed, and engaged individuals working to ensure their communities can swim, drink, and fish forever. "We were contacted sometime ago when they heard about our project," said Mostert. Registered charity Swim Drink Fish Canada offered to provide fund- ing toward the Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Park reconstruction pro- ject as part of the Weston family Swim Drink Fish Great Lakes Challenge. The challenge is an invi- tation to Ontarians to imagine a swimmable, drinkable, fishable Great Lakes watershed. The grant is valued at up to $200,000 and is being pro- vided through The W. Garfield Weston Founda- tion. The funds will be used as: $140,000 for na- tive trees and shrubs; $50,000 for shoreline res- toration and erosion con- trol and $10,000.00 for a community stewardship program. David Steele is a Pick- e ring resident who from 1997 to 1998 was chair of t he Pickering Citizens Taskforce to develop a comprehensive citizens' vision of the waterfront. He said in an email he cannot give a fair analy- sis of the park until phase 1, 2 and 3 are completed and of phase one, until he's toured the park on foot as it was still under construction at the time of the interview. But he said the mature native trees that were planted should be a bene- f it to nature, and hopeful- ly various species of birds will return. He added the shoreline stabilization that will be- gin in 2019 is a very im- portant part of the pro- ject, to allow children and parents to get into Lake Ontario for a paddle or swim. "Phase two will be the key as the community as a whole has requested no motorized boats," he said.

O'Connell was officially sworn in on Sept. 17 at the House of Commons as par- liamentary secretary to the minister of finance, youth economic opportunity. She said the subject of youth economic opportuni- ty is one she feels is critical to the success of Canada's economy. "Our government is com- mitted to growing the econ- omy while ensuring no one is left behind," she said. "Young people need to be part of the country's econo- my and their success will be a reflection of the strength of our economy as a whole." While excited to embark on this new position, O'Con- nell said her dedication to representing her constitu- ents both in Ottawa, as well as in Pickering-Uxbridge, will always be her No. 1 pri- ority. "It is a great privilege to represent this community and I will continue to advo- cate for local priorities such as improving accessibility in our community spaces, investing in Durham Re- gional Transit to improve connectivity, enhancing the Canada Child Benefit to bet- ter support families, and us- ing evidence-based deci- sion-making to lead the fu- ture of the federally-owned Pickering lands," she said.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland file photo PICKERING - Pickering Animal Services will help out a neighbouring munici- pality with its animals by taking in stray pets and car- ing for them as it would its own. At the Sept. 17 meeting, council approved a recom- mendation by animal ser- vices that Pickering provide sheltering services for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouff- ville. "Through discussions we realized it definitely sound- ed doable and we thought this would be a great oppor- tunity to help out our neigh- bouring municipality," said Pickering animal services supervisor Lindsey Narra- way. The five-year term will begin Jan. 1. "We will be their shelter," Narraway said. "They will be bringing us any of their lost and found. Any animals that are found running at large in their municipality, they will be bringing to us." If the pets are not claimed by their owner after a cer- tain period of time, they'll be put up for adoption. Whitchurch-Stouffville currently brings its animals to Vaughan for sheltering services. "I think this really bodes well in terms of the rep of the operation of our animal ser- vices that another munici- pality is wiling to sign on with us and i think that's just fantastic," said Ward 1 Coun. Maurice Brenner at the executive committee meeting when the matter was discussed. Narraway said having a partnership with another municipality should not have an impact on Picker- ing's shelter operations. "Based on the numbers they've provided us, that they've historically been bringing in, we can handle them," she said. This is despite Pickering animal services seeing a number of mother cats and kittens coming into the shel- ter this year. "This year we have seen higher numbers in our cats than in the last few years," Narraway said. "But saying that, they've all been adopt- ed out very readily so our adoptions have been very successful." When Ward 3 Coun. Sha- heen Butt asked about this matter at the executive com- mittee meeting, city solici- tor Paul Bigioni said the contract can be terminated on 120 days notice if it proves a burden to the city's re- sources. Pickering assumes it will be accommodating about 100 animals from Whitch- urch-Stouffville per year. Based on this number, the city will receive around $30,000 in sheltering fees each year. Pickering animal servic- es currently operates out of a building in Brougham, and also features adoptable pets at Pet Valu in Ajax, Pet Valu at Kingston and Whites Roads in Pickering and at PetSmart in Picker- ing. Pickering has long been raising funds to build a per- manent animal shelter in the city, and it's closer to be- coming a reality. At the executive commit- tee meeting, Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean asked about a timeline for the new shelter. Pickering CAO Tony Prevedel said it's in the five-year forecast, and the design could take place in 2019 or 2020. A staff report said Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville staff have already expressed a keen interest in moving to Pickering's new facility when it opens.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARYMy little mom, the brav- est person I know, made her exit from this world a few days ago. She did so with dignity, grace, hu- mour and very much on her own terms. She flipped time the bird and called this one completely. I'm in awe of that kind of courage. By choosing her time of departure, Mom had be- stowed those of us whose lives she had made so much better by her presence with the rare and precious gift of time to say goodbye. And so, the bittersweet week leading up to her day of transition was one filled with visits and phone calls, stories, laughter and, of course, tears. She was about to step back into her original, cancer-free, per- fect, line-dancing, joy- filled self, and our world was, necessarily, going to go a little dimmer for a while. You miss that kind of in- candescence terribly. On the appointed day, at the appointed hour, there was a steady stream of love flowing in and out of my parents' bedroom, where Mom reposed, like a beau- tiful, silver-haired queen in her pink silk housecoat. I marvelled as her chil- dren, grandchildren and their spouses, some of them big, strapping men, one by one and sometimes two by two, crawled into bed with her for some blub- bering, whispered special moments. It was all too beautiful. And through it all, my dad, my wonderful, heartbro- ken dad, sat by her side, his shaking hand in hers. A hand he'd held for 66 years. What is perhaps most notable about my moms de- parture was that there was, in fact, a dry eye in the house: my mom's. Through it all, Mom re- mained serenely calm and completely focused. She knew what she wanted to do and, I think, a part of that mission, in her mind, was to be there for the rest of us. How much more diffi- cult would our pain be to endure if we had glimpsed even the briefest moment of panic, fear or doubt in her beautiful blue eyes. But my mom, as I have mentioned, is the bravest person I know. There was a lot of iron in that little body. Iron forged in the fires of a love that only mothers un- derstand. As much as she made this decision for herself, I know she did it for us, as well. And as terrible as the heartache of missing her is, I will be forever grateful to her for that. Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. MY LITTLE MOM EXITED THIS WORLD WITH DIGNITY AND GRACE COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE SAYS HE IS IN AWE OF HIS MOM'S COURAGE NEIL CRONE Column SEX-ED LETTER BASED ON CONSERVATIVE 'ALTERNATIVE FACTS' To the editor: Re: 'The Liberal sex-ed curriculum hazardous for our kids', letters, Aug. 29 The 2015 sex ed curricu- lum was designed to teach children about what is right and wrong in regards to touching, not how to per- form anal sex. If children of a young age know the proper names for body parts and what is acceptable forms of touch- ing, not just from adults, but older students and their peers, we arm them with protection against predators. Children are not being indoctrinated or "groomed" under the new curriculum, they are being protected. As these students go through the education sys- tem, they are taught about different forms of birth control and how to protect themselves against sexual- ly transmitted diseases. They are also taught about how to navigate through relationships and how to deal with their changing bodies. Part of this educa- tion is to enforce accep- tance of different genders, to teach gender equality and acceptance of same sex relationships. Again, they are not taught about anal sex during this portion of the curriculum. All parents were given a consent form to give per- mission for their child/ children to participate in the new curriculum or not. I know this, because I signed one myself. In regards to the "30 year study regarding gen- der reassignment", Dr. Cec- ilia Dhejne, the author of the study you referred to, has stated her findings are being misrepresented. The study has a very important caveat: "The results should not be interpreted such as sex reassignment per se, increases morbidity and mortality. “Things might have been even worse without sex reassignment." My advice to this gentle- man would be, go to the ministry website, down- load the 2015 curriculum, if it's still available, and read it, rather than regurgitat- ing talking points from the Conservative election cam- paign. It's important to fact check during our current political climate, and not rely on, "alternative facts." KELLY PALICKI, OSHAWA WHAT I NEED FROM MY COUNCILLOR To the editor: I need my councillor to be out checking on his ward on a regular basis. My councillor needs to walk and drive the area to see what needs to be done. If the grass is knee high it should be cut. If the sidewalks are ice covered they should be cleared, if the leaves are in drifts it should be cleared up. Residents need to feel that the increase in taxes each year gives them some- thing.

The provincial government an- nounced there will be 220 new trips along the Lakeshore corridors, includ- ing from Oshawa to Union Station. It's an increase of 18 per cent and according to the government, it's the largest ser- vice increase in five years. Along the Lakeshore East corridor there will be 27 new train trips, which will double midday, weekday service between Oshawa and Union. This brings the line to 15-minute midday ser- vice frequency. The improved GO train service started on Monday, Sept. 24. In making the announcement, John Yakabuski, the minister of transporta- tion, said, "We are making GO trains run more frequently and increasing seat capacity - more than 400,000 addi- tional train seats will be available every week. This will bring immediate relief to the thousands of travelers who use GO Transit in the area." The increased service also includes 17 new weekday train trips on GO Lake- shore West. "With hundreds of new trips be- tween our busy morning and evening peak travel periods, we're taking the thinking out of travelling - whether travelling east or west, from dawn to dusk," said Phil Verster, president and CEO of Metrolinx. "Our customers along the Lakeshore lines can leave their schedules behind and just GO for much of the day."

Metroland File Photo DURHAM - Durham Col- lege is introducing a new ar- tificial intelligence graduate certificate program to help tackle a shortage of skilled AI professionals in Canada. The Artificial Intelli- gence Analysis, Design and Implementation program will be the first of its kind in Canada and is set to launch in September 2019. "The Greater Toronto Ar- ea is home to one of the high- est per capita concentra- tions of AI companies in the world, yet our AI ecosystem is suffering because the skilled workforce it de- mands does not exist," says Marianne Marando, execu- tive dean of the college's School of Business, IT and Management. Jobs in Canada requiring AI skills have grown by 1,069 per cent since 2013 and auto- mation will impact at least 50 per cent of Canadian jobs in the next decade. The new Durham Col- lege program will teach stu- dents how to identify oppor- tunities for AI to create val- ue in an organization, devel- op and implement AI solutions, and identify risk and project management concerns unique to AI pro- jects.

DURHAM - Ontario's Appeal Court has upheld the convictions of an Ux- bridge man found crimi- nally responsible for the deaths of his vulnerable mother and sister, but has reduced his prison sen- tence on the basis of new evidence about his own "cognitive challenges." The ruling, released Sept. 14, means that, while Kevin Plein's convictions for manslaughter and criminal negligence caus- ing death stand, his 18-year sentence is reduced to 14 years. He was also given credit for three years and three months of pretrial custody, to be deducted from that sentence. Fresh evidence about Plein's mental capacity jus- tified the reduced sen- tence, says the ruling, writ- ten by Ontario Court of Ap- peal Justice David Pacioc- co and endorsed by Justices Robert Sharpe and David Brown. "Mr. Plein should not be sentenced as someone who was malevolent or de- praved, but rather as some- one who made grossly neg- ligent and irresponsible de- cisions, and who failed to attend to the needs of his sister and mother with the same level of care he used when attending to his own direct interests," the ruling says. Plein, 54, was found guilty in 2014 of man- slaughter in the death of his mother, Erika, and criminal negligence in the death of his sister, Cindy. Erika was frail and blind; Cindy had cognitive and physical limitations. Cindy, 48, died in June 2009 after severe burns she suffered at the family's Al- tona home went untreated and became infected. Erika was 72 when she died in April 2010 of starvation; court heard she weighed between 60 and 70 pounds at the time of her death. Neither woman re- ceived the care she needed, although it was available if only. Plein had sought it out, the Crown said at trial. In fact, court heard, Plein rebuffed offers of assis- tance from acquaintances and community care orga- nizations. Superior Court Justice Hugh O'Connell sentenced Plein to 10 years on the manslaughter conviction and eight for criminal neg- ligence, citing the convict- ed man's high level of mor- al blameworthiness in the deaths. During an appeal heard in June, a lawyer for Plein argued the convictions ought to be set aside be- cause the judge found him guilty of criminal negli- gence in Cindy's death, but not guilty of manslaughter, with which he was also charged. Those findings, the defence argued - and the Crown acknowledged - are inconsistent, because both charges were prose- cuted by the Crown on the same theory: That Cindy's death was the result of Kev- in Plein's failure to provide the care necessary for her. The Appeal Court ac- knowledged that the trial judge had erred in acquit- ting Plein of manslaughter, but found that inconsisten- cy did not automatically negate the "demonstrably valid" criminal negligence conviction. "The criminal negli- gence causing death con- viction is reasonable and can be supported by the ev- idence," the court found. Plein also entered fresh evidence about his cogni- tive limitations he said should merit a reversal of his convictions and sen- tence. The Appeal Court rejected the argument on his convictions, finding that in spite of any limita- tions he had, Plein would have been aware of the dire conditions both women were in. The court cited photo- graphs, taken shortly after each woman's death and presented as evidence at Plein's trial, to support that finding. "The photographic im- ages of the condition of Cin- dy and Erika taken imme- diately after they died are indelible in their horror. There is absolutely no sub- tlety in the urgent need they were in," the ruling says. "It defies reasonable belief that he would not have seen that they were at risk of bodily harm if he did not intervene." The court did find that Plein's limited abilities - testing showed him to have a Full Scale IQ of 73 - ought to have factored in sentenc- ing (in his 2015 ruling on sentence Justice O'Connell raised concerns about Plein's capacity, but said he had been presented with no reliable evidence about it). "Simply put, when com- pared to most others, Mr. Plein has cognitive chal- lenges that make it more difficult for him to analyze the situation he is in, and to make optimal decisions," the court found.

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland ROSIE THE FOX HELPS KIDS UNDERSTAND LOCAL WILDLIFE AJAX - The town wants a possible banning of all handguns and assault weapons to be ex- amined. In its final meeting of the term, coun- cillors voted unanimously to a motion calling "for the examination of a full ban on handguns and assault weapons in Canada as well as oth- er measures by the minister of border security and organized crime reduction in his efforts to make urban communities safer across Cana- da." Wards 3 and 4 regional Coun. Colleen Jor- dan presented the motion, saying, "It's certain- ly an issue residents are all concerned about." The motion also supported "Toronto's re- quest for an inquest into gun violence-related deaths in Toronto and the GTA to make useful recommendations to avoid further deaths due to gun violence." Wards 1 and 2 regional Coun. Shaun Collier said he supported the motion but had con- cerns. "We can ban guns, but people will still have guns without a licence," Collier said. The responsible gun owners aren't the problem, he noted. "To me, these aren't the people we need to worry about." Ward 4 local Coun. Pat Brown said, "It won't be good enough until we look into it. It's dis- gusting what's going on out there. Young peo- ple have no regard for life." Mayor Steve Parish said the motion is ask- ing that the issue be looked into. "Things are being said out there that aren't facts," he said, pointing to a statement that all the guns are from the United States and none are produced in Canada. "Find out the facts and an effective way of doing it. Coun. Collier is correct. Legitimate owners aren't a risk to our society. I agree with Coun. Brown that will always be with us. There are things we can do to make our streets safer," Parish said.

DURHAM - Every morn- ing, Jeff Dalziel has the same routine. He sits on his porch and listens to whatever music is topping the charts that day. But not just one chart. Rock, hip hop, top 40, coun- try. Everything. "I like to get the common denominators of what's pop- ular," he explains. It's a strategy that has helped Dalziel build a career as a award-winning, multi- genre music producer. His album credits span artists from Brett Kissel, Nelly Furtado and the Phi- losopher Kings, to Tupelo Honey, River Town Saints and Andrew Hyatt. Dalziel, who teaches in the music business adminis- tration and music business management programs at Durham College, recently added two big wins to his list of achievements. In June, he took home the Record Producer of the Year Award from the Country Music Association of Onta- rio, and on Sept. 7, he was named 2018 Record Produc- er of the Year by the Canadi- an Country Music Associa- tion for the album What We're Made Of by the Wash- board Union. "The popularity of coun- try is somewhat new ... I've done country hit records when country wasn't cool," Dalziel says. He credits the CCMA win to an album with a unique sound. "The project was very unique in a country market that was saturated by - I hate to say homogenous material -but that's what it can feel like." Dalziel says he takes pride in working on country music that is Canadian, no small feat in a genre that is heavily associated with American roots. "People are drawn to Nashville like moths to a flame. But I consciously made a decision to seek out the best players in that field in Canada," he says. "And it's just as good as what you would find in Nashville. Sometimes better." Dalziel's career goes back 25 years, he got his start working on music and soundtracks for TV shows and movies. Today he has his own company, Diesel Music, where he develops artists, produces records and sin- gles, co-writes sings and writes music for TV and film. The Oshawa native lived in Toronto for a while, but says moving back to Oshawa and teaching at Durham College has been a reward- ing part of his career. The two-year music busi- ness administration pro- gram and three-year music business management pro- gram are part of the School of Media, Art and Design. Dalziel says the pro- grams focus on real world skills - everything from how to manage revenue streams, to booking tours, negotiat- ing contracts, promoting artists and executing events. "We're trying to prepare them to work for real com- panies, the experience they get is very practical," he says. "I think we're prepping them better than most schools."
