"We hope that the simplicity and flexibili- ty will encourage more res- idents to take action and vote." Pickering has been con- sidering online voting for a number of years, but chose to see how it worked out with the other municipali- ties that decided to try this new route. "We let the brave ones go first and it seemed like the right way to move," said city clerk Debbie Shields. Council passed plans for online voting in March 2017. Internet voting provides voters with flexibility and convenience, reduces wait times at voting locations, delivers quick and accurate results, allows students and vacationers to vote from anywhere and provides vot- ers with accessibility needs greater independence when casting their ballot. "Now they can vote any- where, any time," said Shields. "It increases their priva- cy for voting at home. On top of that it presents a very green option because we're not (printing) 70,000 paper ballots to throw out on the end." And those who are un- comfortable with voting on their own, or do not have ac- cess to the internet or a phone, can head to one of the voter assistance centres Pickering has set up throughout the voting peri- od. "We have six of them throughout the city and you can vote in any of them," Shields said. "It's not like you have to be in your ward." Residents should have received a voter informa- tion letter in the mail in September containing all of the information required to cast their vote. Although the use of in- ternet/telephone voting re- duces costs as compared to traditional paper ballot vot- ing, maintaining the poll- ing locations on election day will offset most of those cost savings, according to a staff report from 2017. But savings are expected to be realized after several elec- tion cycles, when internet/ telephone voting is expec- ted to become more com- monplace, and polling loca- tions can be eliminated. The last municipal election cost the city around $200,000 and the 2018 elec- tion, even with online vot- ing in place, is expected to cost around the same. "There will be cost sav- ings," Shields said. "You won't see them right away." Voter fraud is a concern for some voters since peo- ple are voting in the privacy of their own home and not at polls, but Shields stress- es it is against the law to vote on someone else's be- half. "So yes, it can happen, but it is illegal," she said. She said voters have to enter their ID and pin num- bers, as well as their birth year in order to vote. "I don't see it as a big is- sue because of that third se- curity test," Shields said. Voting results are expec- ted to come in quickly as a result of the new voting method. While there could be some holdups at the vot- er assistance centres, once everyone has voted, results are expected to only take minutes. "If we are able to shut the voting process down by 8 (p.m.), then at 8:15 p.m. we'll have those results," Shields said. Shields recommends voters take advantage of the voting window leading up to Oct. 22. "What we're telling most people is go and vote early or attempt to do your voting early because if there are any issues we'll have plenty of time to assist them and correct them," she said. For voter assistance cen- tre locations and more in- formation call the election help line at 905-420-4688 or visit pickering.ca/election. Those attending a voter as- sistance centre are asked to bring the ID and voter in- formation letter. If they haven't received a letter with their information, they should call the help line.

At a special meeting of council on Oct. 9 council re- moved an H-1 holding provi- sion on the land that is meant to become a major tourist destination that will include a casino, hotel, of- fice space, movie studio, performance hall, water park and more. In April, Great Canadian Gaming, the company se- lected to operate casinos in the Greater Toronto Area, chose the Pickering site for a casino. Ontario Gaming GTA LP, a partnership between Great Canadian Gaming and Brookfield Business Partners, will operate the Pickering casino, which will be built at Church and Bayly streets. The H-1 holding prevent- ed the development of the lands until agreements were completed to the satis- faction of the City of Picker- ing, the Region of Durham, and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regarding the de- velopment of the lands, and the Province of Ontario re- garding transportation re- quirements. After receiving clear- ance from the TRCA, the re- gion and the province, the city was able to remove the restrictions, said chief ad- ministrative officer Tony Prevedel. "All of those conditions have been met which allow us to lift to H1 and move onto the next steps," he said at the meeting. The lifting enables devel- opment of principle, sec- ondary and support uses for the lands and includes ser- vicing the property. Council approved the lifting of the provisions unanimously. "This is obviously good news for moving forward for Durham Live," said Ward 1 regional Coun. Kev- in Ashe. He asked Prevedel when the site is actually expected to be open for business. "We expect an opening in the fall or late 2019," Preve- del said. Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean wants to make sure the hotel opens at the same time as the casino. "Presumably they will be working on all three aspects at once," Prevedel said, re- ferring to the hotel, casino and parking structure. The city is receiving $1.6 million for the building per- mit for Durham Live to go ahead, Prevedel confirmed at a previous council meet- ing. NEWS PICKERING LIFTS RESTRICTIONS, DURHAM LIVE CAN MOVE AHEAD KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING - Rick Hull Memorial Park has been revitalized after hard work by a neighbourhood group. The new features were unveiled on Oct. 10 by SoRo Good Neighbours community group after winning a $10,000 community enhancement project by the City of Picker- ing's Celebrating Sustainable Neighbour- hoods program. "Winning this year's Celebrating Sus- tainable Neighbourhoods grant has af- forded us this great opportunity," said Gail Lawlor of SoRo Good Neighbours. "I am proud to have been part of an initiative that will be appreciated for decades to come." New park improvements include: Two tables with built-in seating and shade cov- er (one is accessible), an educational inter- pretive sign for the existing pollinator gar- den, additional pollinator-friendly plants, four deciduous trees with species identifi- cation signage and five coniferous trees, and two small ash tree benches built by St. Mary Catholic Secondary School students. Council members also unveiled a spe- cial memorial tree that was planted there in commemoration of the late Dr. Bromley Armstrong. "I am proud to recognize SoRo Good Neighbours for their tremendous vision in enhancing Rick Hull Memorial Park," said Mayor Dave Ryan. "This program truly en- hances our community by encouraging residents to engage with one another to create a more connected and sustainable environment." The annual Celebrating Sustainable Neighbourhoods program is about con- necting with others in the community and doing activities that make Pickering a bet- ter place, environmentally, socially and economically. Groups can win up to $10,000 for a community enhancing infrastructure project. Neighbourhood groups are invited to participate in the annual program and are tasked with performing a sustainability- related activity. After registering online, participating groups are invited to the city's Neighbourhood Celebration Event to recognize group efforts and allow mem- bers to share their successes. A peer vote by fellow neighbourhood groups will then decide which group will receive funding from the city. "Pickering's Sustainable Neighbour- hood program has provided us with a framework for driving sustainable efforts in our community, and a forum to learn from other groups," said Colleen Bock, So- Ro Good Neighbours. Visit pickering.ca/CSN for more infor- mation on how to participate in the pro- gram. COMMUNITY SoRo Good Neighbours community group showcased its $10,000 community enhancement project at Rick Hull Memorial Park on Oct. 10. The group won the funding through the City of Pickering's 2017 Celebrating Sustainable Neighbourhoods program. Eighteen-month-old Anna Taylor was more interested in the park than the speeches during the event.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY RESIDENT ISSUES AN ELECTION CHALLENGE TO CANDIDATES To the editor: Whitby mayor and councillors - freeze the tax rate - no increase in 2019! Regional councillors and chair - freeze the water and sewer rates - no in- crease in 2019! I have been a resident of Whitby for eight years. I am a member of the 13 per cent of Whitby constitu- ents who are 65 and older, likely retired, on fixed or close to fixed incomes (un- less forced to rejoin the em- ployed in order to meet ex- penses) who don't have the option of returning to the "well" and requesting an increase. Yet every year Whitby taxes have in- creased, (normally in the two to three per cent range) and Durham Region water and sewer rates have in- creased (in the three to four per cent range). These are expenses that a 13 per cent, and growing, segment of Whitby's population have no option but to pay. Are these annual in- creases a "God Given Right" granted to all elect- ed officials? Given the rate of housing development in Whitby and Durham the tax base is increasing an- nually, generating addi- tional income to both the town and the region. There is never any reference in these annual announce- ments of rate increases to any directive from elected officials to town and region management and employ- ees to initiate productivity improvements and cut ex- penses. Streamlining man- agement infrastructure and reducing overhead seem absent from the pic- ture. When I observe two or three white hard hats (let's call them supervisors) ob- serving one or two yellow hard hats (let's call them workers), the potential for cost reduction becomes im- mediately obvious; and that is only for the projects that are visible to the pub- lic. So I challenge those who are "first past the post" in our upcoming elections to freeze the rates. AL HALEY LET STAFFERS DO THEIR JOBS, NOT POLITICIANS To the editor: Re: What I need from my councillor, letters, Sept. 10 We have phones, and we have municipal staff to deal with issues such as grass, ice, and leaves. Politicians should only become in- volved if municipal staff do not adequately address such issues when brought to their attention. What I want our politi- cians to do is address is- sues of importance to us in terms of municipal servic- es, infrastructure, budget- ary requirements, and our relations with other levels of government. Nobody is going to run for office if they are expected to act as running-dog lackeys for residents too lazy to pick up the phone and call in if something needs attending to. JEFF GOODALL SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM I sometimes think my business needs to do a bit of a reality check in terms of the importance of what we do ... in the big picture. Don't get me wrong, enter- tainment and art are sig- nificant, even vital, parts of the human diet but let's be honest ... I mean, have you watched television lately? We're not exactly saving the planet or any- thing. Which is why, I had to thoroughly shake my head the other day when I received notice that I would soon be shooting a scene in a "top secret" pro- ject. They couldn't even di- vulge the real name of this film and, in fact, if I want- ed to learn my lines for this "eyes only" master- piece, I would have to download an app, register an account with a pass- word and then and only then would I have access to my scene and my scene only. Not the rest of the script. They could show me the rest of the script but presumably they would then have to kill me. All that was missing was "This message will self-destruct in 30 sec- onds, Jim ..." I suppose I somewhat understand the rationale behind all of this cloak and dagger stuff. In this age of social media leaks and pirated material, pro- ductions do need to main- tain a certain level of secu- rity regarding content etc. But seriously? An app and a password? Guys ... it ain't the cure for cancer ... it's a movie. And news flash ... nobody really cares that much. I remember years ago, my buddy telling me the story of his early days in the advertising industry. He was a rising star and was handed the Cadbury Caramilk account. He pitched a very creative, very funny, very smart campaign but the client went apoplectic, scream- ing that they were not ho- nouring the pedigree of the famed Caramilk brand and where did he get off being so damned ir- reverent? When the guy was done, my pal turned to him and said something like "Dude, chill out ... it's a f - king chocolate bar." I think he may have lost that account, but he gained my lifelong respect in that moment. A little perspective goes a long way and some- times a chocolate bar is just a chocolate bar and a movie ... however good ... is just a movie. -Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column SOMETIMES A MOVIE IS JUST A MOVIE COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE SAYS THERE'S TOO MUCH CLOAK AND DAGGER STUFF IN MOVIE MAKING NEIL CRONE Column In this age of social media leaks and pirated material, productions do need to maintain a certain level of security regarding content etc. But seriously?

Krystal Wilson, also known as Krystal Clunis, was at one point employed at Robert Munsch Public School on Norista Street in Whitby, Durham police said Friday. On Thursday, police said Wilson, 31, of Calais Street in Whitby, had been charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interfer- ence. Wilson currently teaches at Roland Miche- ner Public School on Ritch- ie Avenue in Ajax. She also worked at Vincent Massey and Dr. S.J. Phillips public schools, both in Oshawa. It's alleged the teacher sexually assaulted a boy while she was working at Da Vinci Public School during the 2017-2018 school year. After a hearing Thurs- day, Wilson was released on $5,000 bail with condi- tions that include her not being with children unless in the company of another adult.

Each school are sending communications home to parents and guardians to- day to provide an update. We will continue to work with our community part- ners until this investiga- tion is concluded." Wilson has been identi- fied as a singer who recent- ly released a recording. And in 2007 a story in Whit- by This Week profiled Krystal Wilson as a winner in the Miss Canada Globe pageant. An investigation con- tinues. Call police at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5334, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

This Week file photo INVESTIGATION INTO AJAX TEACHER ACCUSED OF SEX ASSAULT ON STUDENT CONTINUES JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com DURHAM - The Region of Durham will carry out its annual fall test of the nucle- ar public alerting system on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30. The public alerting sys- tem is designed to warn res- idents and businesses in the unlikely event of a nu- clear emergency. It has two components: an automated telephone dialing system to notify land line phones within 10 kilometres of the nuclear generating sta- tions; and outdoor sirens within the three-kilometre area. On Oct. 29, the automat- ed telephone dialing system will be tested. On Oct. 30, the outdoor sirens will be activated and will sound for up to one minute. Both tests will take place during regu- lar daytime business hours. The automated tele- phone dialing system is in place for land line phones within 10 kilometres of the Darlington and Pickering nuclear generating sta- tions. This area includes portions of Clarington, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering. The telephone notification will appear as coming from 905-666-6291 on call display systems. The outdoor sirens are within three kilometres of the nuclear stations. This is only a test and no action is required if you hear the sirens or receive the telephone notification. The next test is sched- uled for spring 2019. For more information, please visit durham.ca/ demo, or contact the public alerting information line at 866-551-5373.

So far this year, there have been seven fire-re- lated deaths in buildings without functioning smoke alarms in Durham, according to regional fire co-ordinator and chief of Clarington Fire, Gord Weir. "One out every two homes visited by the men and women of our fire ser- vices throughout the re- gion over the past few years do not have working smoke alarms that com- ply with the Ontario Fire Code," he said during an event held at Oshawa Fire Station 6 on Tuesday morning to promote the cause. "Approximately 50 per cent of the thousands of homes we have visited are placing their family's lives at severe risk should they have a fire. It is a shockingly high number." Without working smoke alarms, the chanc- es of escaping a fire are significantly reduced, Weir noted. As such, ev- ery fire chief in the region has committed to increas- ing enforcement efforts as part of their current smoke alarm programs. The fine for non-compli- ance could be a $360 ticket or as high as a $50,000 fine. "We will each certainly continue with our educa- tion efforts to ensure peo- ple understand what com- pliance looks like, but we are hoping that the addi- tion of these monetary penalties will be encour- age greater compliance," he said. Under the Ontario Fire Code, every residence must have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleep- ing areas and on every storey of every home, re- gardless of when they were constructed. Land- lords must also comply with the law and ensure their rental properties have working alarms. Alarms must be tested every month by pushing the test button and the batteries replaced at least once a year. Alarms older than 10 years are required by law to be replaced. Whitby fire Chief Dave Speed discussed the town's recent efforts to educate residents and landlords on the legislat- ed requirement to have working smoke and car- bon monoxide alarms on every level of their home. Whitby Fire and Emer- g ency Services installed smoke alarms in resi- dences where they were not present or not work- ing, and owners were then fined $360 unless they purchased a replacement smoke alarm unit and re- turned it to the fire de- partment. "We want residents and landlords to know we are serious about smoke alarm enforcement," Speed said. "In the past five years in Whitby, one out of ev- ery two homes that expe- rienced a fire did not have working smoke alarms. In today's home fires, people only have one or two min- utes to escape. Working smoke alarms on every level give the early warn- ing needed to escape a fire in your home." This year's fire preven- tion week theme is "Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen any- where." Pickering fire Chief John Hagg stressed the importance of keeping f ire safety on the front burner during conversa- tions in the community. "Working smoke alarms provide the early warning needed for sur- viving a fire, and having them in your home can not only save lives, it's the law," he said. "Fire Prevention Week allows us to highlight these crucial reminders and raise awareness about the inspection and educational opportunities that our department of- fers." Oshawa fire Chief Der- rick Clark added that the Ontario fire marshal has reported that the fire death rate has dropped by more than 500 per cent since the introduction of residential smoke alarms in the 1970s. "They only save lives if they're installed properly and operational. Today's residential structures burn eight times faster than 50 years ago, and ear- ly detection will provide you the time to escape a burning structure, along with an escape plan." NEWS DURHAM FIRE CHIEFS STEP UPEFFORTS TO PROMOTE SMOKE,CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS SMOKE ALARMS • Both hard-wired and battery-operated smoke alarms must be replaced once they are 10 years old. • Working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are required outside sleeping areas and on every storey of a home. • It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms, to comply with the law. • Alarms should be tested monthly, with batteries changed as least once a year. • Every family should develop and practise a home fire-escape plan. As part of Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 7-13), Durham fire chiefs are sounding the alarm on the importance of having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

Tips for first-time landlords (NC) A rental suite is a great way to help meet your mortgage payments and supplement your income as house prices creep up across Canada. If you’re looking to rent out your basement suite, consider these tips: Know the rental rules. In several Canadian cities, renting a basement suite is illegal. Although several people rent them out anyway without any trouble, know that if your suite is illegal you could be shut down. Provinces also have different rules when it comes to rentals, so make sure to be familiar with yours. Include perks. Make sure to include all utilities, along with perks such as cable and wi-fi, in your rent. If you’re already a subscriber, it will only cost you a few extra dollars a month. By keeping rent simple you will have one less thing for a tenant to complain about. Let your insurance know. You are legally bound to let your home insur- ance company know if you rent out a section of your home, although most people fail to do so. Otherwise, if anything were to happen, your in- surance company could say they were not informed and void your policy. Record current conditions. Take the time to walk through the space with your tenant at the beginning and end of their lease. This visit allows you to document the condition of the property and note any existing damage at your tenants’ entry time and what would be attributable to them when leaving. Ask your tenant for a lease guarantee. This is a new way of protection from many of the risks of renting, reimbursing you quickly in case of a rent payment default or property damage. It also covers a higher value for damages. Whereas security deposits only cover up to one month’s rent, a lease guarantee from Locnest can pay up to $5,000. In Ontario and Quebec, where security deposits are prohibited and landlords are left with little protection, a lease guarantee can act as a guarantor or co-signer with no charge to you since the service is paid for and arranged by the tenant.

Speaking to about 25 members of the Ajax-Picker- ing Board of Trade, Rod Phil- lips, Ajax MPP and minister of environment, conserva- tion and parks, said a gov- ernment has three responsi- bilities, including setting the rules so "people can have a decent life. "It needs to take care of some of the core services, like health, education and the environment. It's for the collective good," Phillips said while making remarks at Ajax Downs on Wednes- day, Oct. 10. "I'm not saying it should do everything. In fact, too of- ten it reaches for good, try- ing to do too much. It shouldn't do what I call stu- pid things, like investing in a windmill business," he said. While highlighting the first 100 days of the govern- ment, Phillips said the gov- ernment has three main themes - affordability, com- petitiveness and balance. "Knocking on doors, it be- came very clear the whole ability for people to have the ability to pay the bills. When being dramatic and rhetori- cal, we called it the choice between heating and eating. But, quite literally, I spoke with someone making that choice," Phillips said. For some, it's deciding if they can afford to have a child playing sports or not being able to do things be- cause they may be too ex- pensive, he noted. The issue wasn't limited to the PCs, he said, pointing to other parties that sup- ported raising the minimum wage. It came down to "putting more money back into peo- ple's pockets versus redistri- bution of wealth," Phillips said. On the provincial gov- ernment's books, he said, "It's a mess. "If you found these num- bers, you would probably be calling somebody to deal with the last guy," he said. But the mess also pro- vides plenty of opportuni- ties to save money, he noted. "Little examples are sometimes the most pro- found. Peter (Bethlenfalvy, president of the treasurer board) took out all the land lines in his office. Most of the people are under 30 and have never used one. That saved $8,000," Phillips said. Competitiveness is im- portant, not only for busi- ness, but also for individu- als, he stated. "Without competitive- ness, there are people in our society who won't have the opportunities they want to have," he said. He noted Premier Doug Ford likes to say Ontario is open for business. "We need a competitive, dynamic business sector supported by a government that understands what it means. Without one, we can't afford the things we all want," Phillips stated. As for balance, he said, "My sense, as someone who has been observing politics and governments for 30 years, (is) things were out of balance. In terms of what was actually important, there was too much empha- sis on some things and not enough emphasis on oth- ers." The government got rid of the cap and trade program because "I believe it's inef- fective and unfair from an affordability perspective," Phillips said. Getting rid of cap and trade will save a family about $260. "Downtown, there are people who don't always ap- preciate that's a lot of mon- ey," he said.

And while deployment of the cameras has in- creased workload for offi- cers, it hasn't resulted in a dramatic spike in over- time for those officers, ac- cording to Sgt. Jason Bagg, manager of Dur- ham's BWC pilot project. "I think our efforts to incorporate the body- worn cameras into the of- ficer's daily shift has so far been successful," Bagg said during an update to the board Sept. 11. A year- long pilot project, which will see some officers wearing the devices as they carry out their du- ties, began June 22. Re- sults of the pilot will help determine whether or not the service adopts the technology permanently. The pilot deployment involves 70 to 80 officers, including two platoons of patrol police in West Divi- sion covering Pickering and Ajax, regional traffic enforcement officers and members of the Festive RIDE team. The cameras are to be activated when officers respond to incidents such as 911 calls, traffic stops and arrests. Bagg said data gath- ered during the first 60 days of BWC deployment indicates that calls com- pleted and reports filed are down for all platoons in West Division, as are the number of tickets is- sued. The average time spent on the scene of calls has increased for platoons in the division, he noted. "Deployment of BWCs does not appear to be neg- atively impacting officer productivity within West Division," Bagg said in a written report to the board. "Furthermore, the deployment of BWCs is not resulting in forced overtime to complete ad- ditional BWC workload on a general or routine ba- sis." It is acknowledged, however, that BWCs "in- disputably" add to officer workload, Bagg noted. He cautioned that "far-reach- ing" conclusions should not be drawn based on da- ta from two months of a 12-month pilot. As of Aug. 20, officers in West Division had gath- ered 4,069 videos, about half of which have been classified as evidence in criminal or provincial of- fence investigations, ac- cording to the report. Overall, about 38 per cent of the videos have now been incorporated as evi- dence in criminal or pro- vincial offence prosecu- tions. Bagg said those cases are now making their way into the courts. "We have shared sever- al hundred cases, at this point, with the Crowns," he said, adding he expects to hear feedback about the value of BWC evidence from prosecutors "in the next couple of months." The BWC deployment pilot is part of a multi- year study of the technol- ogy being undertaken by Durham police as the ser- vice contemplates adopt- ing it permanently. Fol- lowing the pilot deploy- ment, the service will con- duct another survey of officers and members of the public to gauge atti- tudes toward the technol- ogy. The project is budgeted to cost almost $683,000 in 2018. Bagg noted that "the BWC project is currently on time and within bud- get." A report to the board in November 2016 indicated the cost of permanently adopting BWCs might be almost $24 million, the majority of that dedicated to staffing and data man- agement. Cost estimates include $1 million for training, $4.5 million for data storage and $15.5 mil- lion in staffing costs.

The official opening for the Centre for Collabora- tive Education (CFCE) took place Oct. 2, with a ribbon cutting, tours and the un- veiling of a donor wall. The $40 million building is a legacy project tied to the college's 50th anniver- sary in 2017. It replaces the Simcoe Building, which opened in 1969 and was recently de- molished - a feature wall in- side the new building is made from Simcoe Build- ing stones. "We learned a lot from buildings built in the 70s and 80s that didn't have a lot of windows. They were kind of dark and cavelike," says Durham College pres- ident Don Lovisa as he walks through the CFCE. "As human beings, we need natural light to work and learn." There's tons of natural light at the CFCE and lots of airy open spaces fin- ished in clean white and bright green. Lovisa says the building is unique, because it focus- es entirely on the student experience, with very few administrative spaces. The 75,000 square foot CFCE houses a high-tech "global classroom" that can connect Durham College students with students and professors from around the world; an entrepreneur- ship centre that includes the FastStart DC program; the First Peoples Indige- nous Centre, which is out- fitted with venting to allow smudging ceremonies to take place inside; and an in- terprofessional simulation lab. Every floor has comfort- able furniture where stu- dents can study or relax, including an area with co- sy nap pods for grabbing some sleep between clas- ses. The CFCE is also home to the new Durham College Spa, a teaching spa where students, college staff and members of the communi- ty can receive a therapeutic massage. Massages are provided by students in the college's massage therapy program, under the guidance of fac- ulty, including registered massage therapists. And they're a steal - two 75-minute treatments for $60 or one for $35. Massages are the first service to be offered at the new spa - cosmetic tech- nique and esthetic services are scheduled to launch in 2019. Amy Roosenboom, pro- gram co-ordinator and fac- ulty member with the col- lege's massage therapy program, says there has been a recent push for more research into the ben- efits of massage therapy. "There are so many studies showing it can be good for anxiety, depres- sion, cancer patients ... so many things," she says. "There's a saying that mas- sage therapy is for cradle to grave. Everyone from in- fants to people receiving palliative care." Visit www.durhamcol- legespa.ca for more infor- mation or to book a mas- sage appointment.

GETYOURFIRSTMONTHOF FOR 99¢+TAX DIGITALACCESS PICKERING - Four of the five candidates running for the position of Durham re- gional chair attended a de- bate hosted by the Pickering West Shore Community As- sociation on Oct. 10. Tom Dingwall, John Henry, John Mutton and Muhammad Ashin Sahi dis- cussed email questions pre- sented by moderator David Steele, as well as questions from the floor at the forum held at the Pickering Public Library. Former Pickering-Scar- borough East MPP Tracy MacCharles asked the can- didates if, as a matter of prin- ciple, they believe victims of sexual and domestic vio- lence? "Of course we have to be- lieve, but in court, evidence matters and evidence should be the basic criteria where all things should come down," Ashin Sahi said. Dingwall said he has spent many years dealing with domestic violence as a police officer. "To answer your ques- tion directly, yes, I do believe women when they say they've been domestically assaulted, I do believe wom- en when they say they've been sexually assaulted, as well as men," he said. He said often there are no witnesses and it comes down to credibility and who the court decides to believe. Henry's answer was sim- ple: "Absolutely, yes." Mutton said "Every all egation must be investigat- ed no matter what it is. Alle- gations that are not true and found not true in the court of law, of course not, that's why we have the court system." He said he belongs to group called Keep Your Hands to Yourself and was part of a large rally that brought domestic abuse vic- tims together. "it was an unbelievably moving event," he said. "I'm proud to sit on this board, I'm proud to work with this group and I'm proud to have put my own money across Canada into domestic abuse organizations and I'll con- tinue to work toward that in the future." One email question was, what the candidate could do to help reduce the tax bur- den on residents if they be- come chair of Durham. Ashin Sahi said he went through the budget and didn't see efficiencies avail- able. "We are structured against the huge list of ex- penses," he said."Taxes would not be cut if anyone is elected among us."A smaller population of Durham will always be burdened unless Toronto is willing to share the burden, he said. Ashin Sahi earlier said he is for amalgamating with the City of Toronto. Dingwall, on the other hand, said there is consider- able waste within the Dur- ham budget and efficiencies must be found. 'So there (are) ways to cut taxes but no one person will do it. it'll take council, it'll take working together," he said. Henry said a strategic fi- nancial plan is needed, and it needs to be followed. "There are ways to find savings but you won't find savings by cutting taxes and raiding the reserves," he said. Mutton believes taxes can be reduced and said the region needs to do a service review. One question from the floor was whether the candi- dates support a Pickering airport, which the federal government still has to make a decision on. Henry supports one "ab- solutely" but also believes the federal government should look into an alter- nate use such as utilizing the farm land until an airport goes forward, if that is the decision the government makes. Mutton said if the feds make the decision in sup- port of an airport, the region needs to make sure "that we're negotiating for every last cent so it doesn't cost you any more property tax- es than you are currently paying" in regards to infra- structure. Sahi supports an airport, and said "The sooner the bet- ter," and added it would be "a window to the world." Dingwall said there is considerable financial gain to having an airport in Pick- ering. "That said, once you build on that land, you will never get it back," he said. He said he can see both sides, for and against, and said he would listen to all sides. When asked about pro- viding better housing for all in Durham, Ashin Sahi said he believes in inviting pri- vate investment to build housing for low-income earners. He said red tape needs to be cut and bylaws less stringent for this to hap- pen. Dingwall said the region has to work diligently with developers in order to build more rental units, and to ex- pedite the permits so it'll happen more quickly. Henry said this is a chal- lenge in Oshawa and spoke of some of the exciting pro- jects he's seen as mayor, such as the Ritson Resi- dence project, an affordable 75-unit building for seniors, as well as a new building at Bond Street and Stevenson Road, which also has afford- able units for seniors. Henry said best practices are need- ed across the entire region. Mutton said "Durham is not affordable at all." His plan is to cut taxes, which will help with affordability. He said there is a need to specify a percentage of new developments that are built as affordable housing. MUNICIPAL ELECTION DURHAM CHAIR CANDIDATES TALK DOMESTIC ABUSE, TAXES, HOUSING KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com Tracy MacCharles asked candidates for Regional Chair if, as a general policy, would they believe someone if they claimed they were victims of sexual or domestic abuse?

The two custom-painted helmets, valued at around $3,000 each, were stolen from the team's trailer in 2014 while Austin, then 15 years old, was racing at nearby Goodwood Kartways. "I can't tell you how hard this senseless act was for us to understand," said Jason Riley, Austin's father, of the original theft, calling their recovery a "miracle." "It was absolutely crazy how something I never thought I would see again found its way back to us." In addition to his racing career, Austin, who is on the autism spectrum, also visits schools and other organiza- tions to spread awareness about autism. The original theft received a fair amount of media attention but no leads were found and, even- tually, Riley said he gave up hope of ever getting the hel- mets back. Then, on Oct. 1, Riley was notified by a friend that the helmets were listed for sale on an area buy and sell site. When Riley checked out the listing he was shocked to dis- cover they were in fact the very same helmets stolen nearly four years ago to the day. He had a friend message the seller to set up a meeting, but said he wasn't sure how to proceed with the transac- tion, especially after his wife expressed concern about him meeting up with the sell- er alone. "I really wasn't sure whether to just pay for them and be happy to have them back, or explain and try to get them to give them back," he said. Luckily, when he got home a Durham regional po- lice officer was in the area re- sponding to a fender bender, and Riley approached him for advice. That officer, Const. Jody Keenan, said he was more than happy to help when he learned what was happen- ing, and offered to drive up to Barrie and attend the mee- tup in Riley's place. "It was easy because it was the right thing to do," Keenan said, noting the cou- ple in possession of the hel- mets had no idea they were stolen, and were happy to see them returned to their rightful owner. "They were nearly brought to tears when we told them the story," Keenan said of the pair, who had pur- chased the helmets four years earlier from an online listing, with plans to use them as motorcycle helmets, but instead they had sat in the garage for the ensuing years. "They couldn't get them back into Austin's hands fast enough," Keenan continued. He said the whole scenar- io was a welcome turn of events for him and his part- ner, who are used to dealing with more negative situa- tions. "It was an incredible turnout to a tragic element," he said. "It was life-changing for us. I've seen so many bad things, to see this one really incredible thing, it really re- energized my partner and I. Austin truly is an incredible individual and his family and support team are amaz- ing. I'm just so happy he got everything back." The helmets have a spe- cial meaning for Austin and his team as they serve as a sort of memento of each sea- son. "We try to get Austin a helmet every year so it's like a time-stamp of everything he's done that year," said Ril- ey. "At the end of the year we retire that helmet so he can remember all the places he went and how he did with that helmet." The helmets have been given pride of place in Aus- tin's sensory room, a space where his family has created a safe, welcoming environ- ment with soothing sensory tools such as a weighted blanket and bubble tower. It's a place where Austin can go when he's particularly anxious or needs to calm himself. "Lately he's been strug- gling with a lot of anxiety," Riley said. "He's maturing and you're always dealing with uncertainty as far as his racing career goes, so those helmets have taken on a lot more significance. When they were stolen it was never about the value for us, it was about the senti- mental value." For the last two years Austin has been racing in the Nissan Micra Cup cir- cuit, finishing ninth out of 34 racers last year. The team is currently working to secure sponsors and raise funds to compete next season. A large part of Austin's racing career is also dedicat- ed to raising awareness about autism. For Keenan, who wasn't aware of Austin's story prior to that day, it made the recovery of the hel- mets all the more meaning- ful. "It was really eye-open- ing for me," he said of meet- ing Austin. "Austin's reaction was unbelievable and just learn- ing his story was so eye- opening. I think you look at kids and adults with autism and you kind of put them in a box. I had no idea profession- al racing was even an op- tion." The officers got an inside look at Austin's race car when they dropped the hel- mets off, but were surprised by how interesting he found their vehicle. "My partner and I were just in awe of Austin and his race car, but all he wanted to do was sit in the police car and learn about the police car."

Two vehicles were in- volved in a collision on High- way 7/12 at Scugog Line 4 just after 1 a.m. on Oct. 6, when an SUV travelling northbound crossed into the southbound lanes and col- lided with a car. The driver of the car, Wal- ter Rose, 59, of Goodwood, and his wife, Wendy Ho, 55, along with a 44-year-old fe- male passenger from Port Perry, were all pronounced dead at the scene. A fourth passenger, Goodwood's Car- la Maschke, was rushed to hospital, where she remains in critical condition. "She is very loved," said Michelle Peters, Maschke's cousin, noting the commu- nity has stepped up to sup- port the family through a GoFundMe campaign. "She is a miracle already, and is a fighter and her fami- ly is her life. If anyone can make it through this, it's her." Maschke was airlifted to St. Michael's with extensive injuries, including shattered ribs and neck and spinal in- juries. She remains in a medically induced coma awaiting more surgery. A GoFundMe campaign to help the Maschke family pay for accommodations, transportation, modifica- tions to their home and more has been set up, and was about halfway to its $50,000 at press time. The driver of the SUV, a 68-year-old Greenbank man, was also transported to hos- pital, where he is listed in critical condition. OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt called the scene of the crash "absolutely devastating," and noted it happened just as the OPP were preparing to launch Operation Impact, a campaign focused on the leading causes of death on highways, such as impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding and not wearing seatbelts. "At this point we don't know if any of those factors were contributing in this collision we're investigating but it is serious and it's heartbreaking to know that three lives were lost in a crash that was preventable," he said, noting it doesn't ap- pear weather conditions were a factor in the crash ei- ther. "We will be looking at ele- ments such as human error and mechanical defects, al- though they were both late model vehicles so that's isn't likely, we're not sure what the circumstances were that led to this crash."
