Advertising Feature ThisreportiscourtesyofMikeHogan,Salesperson,Re/maxRougeRiverRealty.Notintendedtosolicitbuyersorsellerscurrentlyundercontract.CopyrightCP(2017) DURHAM — John Hen- ry has made the jump from Oshawa’s mayor, to Dur- ham Region’s chair. He won the seat by a landslide Monday night. Unofficial results from the Region of Durham as of late Monday night showed Henry with 64,793 votes, about 54 per cent. In second place was Tom Dingwall with 24,048 votes, followed by John Mutton in third place with 15,399 votes. The results of the re- gional chair’s race came in later than expected, de- layed by Internet and phone voting crashing in Pickering earlier in the evening. Henry arrived at Avanti Trattoria in downtown Oshawa to cheers from a supporters and well-wish- ers, including newly elect- ed Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter. ” We knew awhile ago that we were doing well,” Henry said, as he thanked his team and fami- ly. “But we didn’t know we were doing that well. We knocked on over 40,000 doors and not one person asked us to leave.” Henry, who was born and raised in Oshawa, was first elected to Oshawa council in 2006 as a city and regional councillor. In 2010, he unseated incumbent two-term mayor John Gray, winning the mayor’s seat with 47 per cent of the vote. He was re-elected mayor in 2014. Henry has said one of his priorities as chair will be working with re- gional council to keep property taxes as low as possible over the next four years — and he hopes to use some of the experience he gained as Oshawa’s mayor. “What we’ve done in Oshawa is use best prac- tice. We’ve taken private sector thoughts and philos- ophies and used it to run a publicly owned business. It’s been an amazing sto- ry,” he says. “You can make changes and you can hold the line on taxes.” Henry says knocking on doors during his campaign helped him get a sense of other priority issues in Durham, includ- ing mental health, addic- tion and homelessness. “This has been a great opportunity to meet people through the entire Dur- ham Region,” he said. “We’ve canvassed some- where close to 43,000 homes all over the region- ....most people don’t realize it’s half the size of Prince Edward Island.” Henry has said other goals will include pursuing new development without taking on debt and local job creation. For decades, Durham’s chair was an appointed po- sition. In 2012, after years of debate, regional council approved a bylaw to change it to an elected position. A 2010 referendum on the is- sue showed 79.7 per cent of those who cast a ballot were in favour of electing the chair. Roger Anderson — who had previously held the seat for 17 years — became Durham’s first elected chair in 2014, winning 46 per cent of the vote. Ander- son died in March 2018, af- ter a long illness. This year saw five candi- dates in the race for region- al chair. Dingwall is a Dur- ham Regional Police offi- cer who took a leave from his role with the Profes- sional Standards Unit, to run for chair. “Obviously anyone who puts their name in doesn’t put their name in hoping they’re going to come in second,” he said Monday night. “But I’m definitely not disappointed in the effort made by my team, made by my supporters.” Dingwall says he will take a couple of days off to collect his campaigns signs before returning to work with the police. He called his run for chair “an adventure,” and said he isn’t ruling out an- other run at politics down the road. Mutton served as mayor of Clarington from 2000 to 2006. Peter Neal, brother to Oshawa councillor John Neal and Clarington coun- cillor Joe Neal, finished with about six per cent of the vote as of late Monday night. He previously ran for the chair’s seat in 2014, landing in fourth place in that that race, with 11 per cent of the vote. Muham- mad Ahsin Sahi, a real es- tate lawyer, won five per cent of the vote.

But not all residents are as pleased with the results after the online and tele- phone voting system shut down for a period of time Monday night. "Last night, on the final day of the voting period, the city's election service provider, Dominion Voting Systems, experienced a bandwidth problem at ap- proximately 6 p.m., which resulted in a 90-minute de- lay, affecting 51 Ontario municipalities, including Pickering. To compensate for the delay, the city ex- tended the voting period for an additional two hours and closed voting at 10 p.m.," city clerk Debbie Shields said in a statement on Tuesday morning. Also in a statement on election night, Dominion said the load issue "was documented, reviewed and determined to be the result of a Toronto-based internet Colocation provider plac- ing an unauthorized limit on incoming voting traffic that was roughly 1/10th of the system's designated bandwidth. Our company was unaware of this issue until our municipal cus- tomers and their voters reached out to us for assis- tance, or to share com- plaints." Resident Mike Borie noted Gray and Bruce counties, also using Do- minion, delayed the end of voting until 8 p.m. on Tues- day, the day after the elec- tion. "I certainly would ques- tion the validity of the ... re- sults that are obtained by the City of Pickering," he said. Mark Guinto, Picker- ing's manager of business development and public af- fairs, said since the city was technically experienc- ing the issues for 90 min- utes, the decision was made to extend voting for two hours to compensate. Catharine Hall said in an email "the outcome of this election cannot be ac- curate, I was unable to vote - like (many) of my neigh- bours." She said online voting would time out, and the phone would hang up be- fore she could complete her vote. "This is so not right, that I didn't get my right to vote," she said. Guinto said voting opened on Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. and residents had ample time to vote. "Two hours before vot- ing closed, that's when there was a slowdown around 90 minutes," he said. Voter turnout was slightly down this election, from 32 per cent to 29 per cent. However, Guinto not- ed residents who were not happy with the choice to go paperless for the first time had indicated they would not vote, so the number was expected as the end of the election period drew to a close. He also said more people may have come out to vote if they were dis- pleased with the current council. "Everyone was re- turned. We take that as peo- ple are happy," Guinto said. He also noted the voter assistance centres were ex- tended to stay open until 10 p.m., except for the one in Claremont, due to staffing issues. Shields noted, "Please note that at no time was the integrity of the system at risk of compromise, or in any way insecure. As such, I am fully confident in our election results." Cheyne de Souza had trouble voting but after go- ing to city hall, waiting for 45 minutes to learn the polls would be extended, he was eventually able to cast his vote online. "I hope there were many like me who were persis- tent enough to cast their votes. I fear that that wasn't the case," he said in an email. "Many may have giv- en up and I don't think that holds up the democratic process that should be in place. There was no contin- gency plan set up in the event that something like this could happen. This was the first run and to be honest I don't think that they did a good job at secur- ing our voting rights." Pickering Durham Dis- trict School Board trustee candidate Saul Perdomo sent an open letter to fellow candidates that he believes the system collapse to be serious enough to warrant an independent investiga- tion. "I would like to please ask you to join me in call- ing for an independent in- quest into tonight's voting system failure before rec- ognizing the results," he said. While some were fum- ing over the difficulties that arose, Pickering coun- cillors were pleased with the results. Both David Pickles, re-elected as Ward 3 regional councillor, and Kevn Ashe, re-elected as Ward 1 regional councillor, agreed that returning all seven councillors spoke volumes. "I heard that a lot out there: they liked the fact that we worked as a team. It doesn't mean we always agreed on everything. We respected each others' views and worked as a team," Pickles said. He feels the same team of councillors will "make it easier to make a lot of prog- ress in the coming four years." "It's Pickering's time," Ashe said. "We have Dur- ham Live, we have the In- novation Corridor, we have plans for downtown: per- forming arts centre, se- niors centre, new library, 60,000 new residents in Seaton. There's a decision on the airport (coming) so there's going to be lots to deal with in the next four years." Upon completion of the last term of office, Ryan be- came the longest serving mayor in Pickering's histo- ry. He was first elected to council in 1994 and has been mayor since 2003. He's been undefeated ever since. Ryan said "business, business and business, af- fordable housing, trans- portation and broadband" will be his main priorities over the next four years. "I know that with the support of council that we will get the attention of the levels of government, the levels of government that are so very important to our continued success and we are going to be a fantas- tic community," he said.

Mayor Dave Ryan explained at a special event at Cineplex Cinemas Pickering and VIP on Oct. 11, that in 2017, council approved the Grande Esplanade concept for the down- town, which included an arts centre, senior and youth centre, and a central library ex- pansion. The plan was to connect these new facilities to the civic centre and Esplanade Park via a huge pedestrian thoroughfare along the south Esplanade. But recently, the Pickering Town Centre and Cushman and Wakefield Asset Services were looking to redevelop their site following the closure of Sears. They put their heads to- gether with the city and came up with a new vision. Ryan shared the latest plans for a down- town, thanks to a partnership between the city, Cushman and Wakefield, the Pickering Town Centre and CAPREIT, owner of the land immediately south of Esplanade South. The city feels the redevelopment of the lands will address all of the partners' key pri- orities. "We are literally creating a brand new downtown, which will introduce a never-be- fore seen energy and dynamic to Pickering," said Ryan. Inspired by Europe's renowned public spaces, the project partners showcased an ex- citing array of new, state-of-the-art buildings and facilities. The area will include three con- dominium towers; a hotel; an arts centre, an outdoor ice rink, a seniors and youth centre, and a new library. The downtown will be con- nected via pedestrian-friendly walkways. Additionally, the city will have the ability to close off sections of Glenanna Road in or- der to create a massive community gathering space that could accommodate large festivals and special events. "Our new downtown would be the perfect venue for an Asian-style night time market," Ryan said. "How about a Christmas market?" The project will bring together municipal services delivery, shopping and retail, and residential intensification into one singular, vibrant and walkable neighbourhood. The community hub will have a direct connection to the GO station via the pedestri- an bridge, providing quick, convenient and comfortable access for visitors, shoppers, pa- trons and employees. "This project has allowed us the opportu- nity to become a leader in innovation and a key player in the transformation of a down- town area into a dynamic city centre," said George Buckles, executive managing direc- tor of Cushman and Wakefield. "We've seen what vision, creativity and perseverance can accomplish and we are passionate about the great future for Pickering's City Centre." Scott Bunker, CAPREIT's executive vice president of development and innovation, said with around 900 CAPREIT residents cur- rently living in Pickering, the company is "keenly interested" to be involved in the pro- ject. "We foresee a major win for Pickering by deepening CAPREIT's investment in new and improved rental housing as part of the down- town core design," he said. "The benefits of this project will be numerous, with residents gaining more immediate access to world- class services, public spaces, restaurants and other amenities in the downtown core." NEWS PICKERING, MALL PARTNERSHIP TO CREATE VIBRANT DOWNTOWN CORE The City of Pickering launched a new vision for Pickering's downtown on Oct. 3. Pickering CAO Tony Prevedel and director of city development and CBO Kyle Bentley explained some of the features the new plan, including an outdoor skating rink/reflection pond, new location of the library, a performing art centre as well as new condominiums.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM Growing old is not for the faint of heart. Do not be de- ceived by the kindly, wrin- kled faces of the elderly. Within those frail, liverspot- ted, creaking frames beat the hearts of lions. My fa- ther turns 91 today, and I am, frankly, amazed at his cour- age. Each day that he wakes up there are a host of chal- lenges that confront him, a thousand little things that might easily overwhelm me in my relatively youthful 58 years but that he somehow manages to take in stride, even with humour. His knees are arthritic and painful, and a leg that he shattered in his teens has agonizingly returned to re- mind him of the folly of rid- ing a motorcycle on a gravel road. His COPD has fiend- ishly hijacked his cardio- vascular system to the point where a walk to the kitchen for a glass of wine feels like running a marathon; and each day, in an effort to keep other ailments at bay, he must ingest more pharma- ceuticals than Keith Rich- ards. He has spent the past de- cade watching friends and relatives punch out, until, it seemed, it was only he and his lovely partner left stand- ing watch. And then, the cruelest card of all was played. And still, he carries on. He gets up, sets his jaw and meets each day with all of its physical and psychological trials with a depth of cour- age I can't even begin to fath- om. I have never been tested like that. But my dad has the heart of a lion. There are days, I am sure, probably many, when my dad wonders why he is still here. Why he must car- ry on, alone, in the face of so many hurdles. He must think his existence a bit of a cruel joke in those mo- ments. But that is only be- cause, in his pain and loneli- ness, he thinks no one is watching. I am sure many seniors must feel the same way. But people are watching. I am watching. As are my brother and sister, our chil- dren and my father's great- grandchildren. We are watching, and we are learn- ing what real courage and real love are. Even at 91, my dad is still teaching all of us, helping us to become better people. Growing old is most certainly not for the faint of heart. Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. MY FATHER TEACHES US ALL HOW TO BE BETTER PEOPLE COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE MARVELS AT HOW HIS FATHER MEETS EACH DAY WITH THE HEART OF A LION NEIL CRONE Column SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY TO THE EDITOR: RE: 32-YEAR EDUCATOR WANTS TO PUT PATRIOTISM BACK IN THE CLASSROOM As a 32-year educator for the Durham District School Board, I am propos- ing that we return to hav- ing a Canadian flag mount- ed high in the front corner of every classroom. This was common prac- tice in years gone by and is no longer a feature of mod- ern classrooms. Children should be pa- triotic about their country and should participate in civic engagement. I would like to see a Canadian flag mounted in the front cor- ner become the rule rather than the exception. As a former teacher, I can tell you that my stu- dents listened to Mr. Wall sing O Canada as they were encouraged to "sing it loud and sing it proud" every morning, with multiple Ca- nadian flags flying in my room. I brought them from home and even hooked one up to a fan so that it flew in the breeze, just like at the old Maple Leaf Gardens. Canadians need not be shy in celebrating our great country. Celebrating Canada is something we should be proud to pass on to future generations. I strongly advocate that mounting a Canadian flag proudly in each classroom. With Remembrance Day coming soon, our veterans would welcome this strong symbol of support. I would also encourage Whitby MPP Lorne Coe to support this as a private member's bill at Queen's Park. It's the right thing to do. THOMAS WALL, WHITBY TO THE EDITOR: RE: POT ACCEPTANCE WILL HAPPEN OVER TIME I was needing to take the bus, about a week before the legalization of pot, when I entered the bus shelter. The first thing I no- ticed was the smell of burn- ing marijuana. I looked at the only per- son there and lo and behold a young man was smoking a joint. Jokingly, I com- mented that it wasn't legal until the seventeenth. He didn't see the joke, howev- er, and took offence. I had to tell him I was joking. But I could see where he was coming from. There is stigma and some debate over marijuana. Just as there was debate over the legalization of alcohol be- tween 1918-1920 during pro- hibition, there are now ar- guments around the legal- ization of pot. Now with pot being le- gal I believe the acceptance of it will increase. That does not mean it won't be problematic. Just as alco- holism is taking away from quality of life, being a pot- head can be seen in the same light. But both alcohol and marijuana used for recre- ation on a Friday night, isn't so bad. We just have a toss up on what to buy. With pot being legal, alco- hol sales will go down, and we will drink less since there is an alternative, so I don't see how it would lead to more addiction. If any- thing, alcohol is more ad- dictive and if we choose pot over alcohol, with pot be- ing legal, the acceptance of it will be more common- place.

John & Kate New Home Owners July 2016 Seasonal maintenance tips in and around your home (NC) Although some of us may be hanging on to warmer temperatures, it’s inevitable that cooler weather is on its way. With the change in seasons comes a change in home maintenance that’s needed to prepare for the cooler climate. So, get ahead on your chores while the sun is still shining and follow these four simple tips to stay on track. Clean out your gutter and downspout. Once leaves begin to fall, they will fill your gutter and downspouts blocking water that is draining off your roof. While this step may need to be repeated more than others, cleaning out your gutter regularly until all leaves have fallen will benefit your home long term. If you come across little friends nesting, safely remove them to avoid them calling your attic their new home. Check your windows and doors. With cool, breezy air upon us, it’s important to check windows, doors and cracks that need to be fixed. Feel around for any drafts that may be coming through and try caulking around these areas to repair any broken seal. Not only will this keep you warm, it will reduce energy use and save money on your heating bill. Inspect your furnace. Hire a professional to inspect your furnace before the cold weather arrives. Since the heat has been turned off for months, it’s impor- tant to complete a general maintenance to ensure your furnace is ready for an- other winter. Remember to clean out your filters regularly and replace as need- ed; this will benefit the air quality in your home and keep your furnace running efficiently. Make the switch to winter tires. It’s important to make the switch from all- seasons to winter tires so that your vehicle is prepared for winter driving condi- tions. Even before the first snowfall, the drop in temperature requires a different type of tire to grip the road. Winter tires should be replaced every two to three seasons. If you have old tires that are no longer in use, drop off up to four for free at a registered Ontario Tire Stewardship collector. Recycling used tires helps keep the circular economy rolling by turning your old treads into sustainable products manufactured in Ontario. Home heating and carbon monoxide safety tips for winter (NC) Snow and ice create dangerous conditions for those who venture outside during the winter, but we often forget about dangers indoors, such as carbon monoxide poisoning. Often known as “the silent killer,” CO is a colourless and odourless gas that is impossible to detect without an alarm. In fact, according to Statistics Canada, carbon monoxide poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning in the country and is responsible for more than 300 deaths annually. Here are tips to keep your loved ones safe through winter: Eliminate CO at the source. Have a professional check fuel-burning appliances — like your furnace, stove, water heater and clothes dryer — for leaks and annual maintenance. Never use generators indoors. In the case of a power outage or furnace failure, both gas-powered and portable electric generators must only be used outside. Never use them inside the home, in a garage or any confined area where CO can collect. Install alarms. Carbon monoxide alarms are the only way to detect this poisonous gas, yet a recent survey revealed over half of Canadians report not having CO alarms in their homes. Consider one that doesn’t need battery replacements for the life of the alarm, like the First Alert 10-year Battery Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which uses an electrochemical sen- sor, the most accurate technology available. Be mindful of the garage. Never leave a car running in an attached garage. Even if the garage door is open, emissions can leak into the home. Clear all vents and watch stove usage. Especially after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow. Never use a stove to heat your home and, when stovetop cooking for long periods of time, use kitchen fans to ventilate the room. Know the symptoms of CO poisoning. These include headache, nausea and feeling tired or short of breath. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds or symptoms appear, it is important to get everyone outside to fresh air immediately and call 911. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , O c t o b e r 2 4 , 2 0 1 8 | 10 OPEN HOUSE SUN.

Advertisement DURHAM - It's lunch hour at Walter E. Harris P.S. in Oshawa, and one of the school teams is getting ready for battle. But you won't find them doing layup drills in the gym, or running on the field. This team is gathered in the library, exercising their brains. Meet the school's senior Battle of the Books team - a group of Grade 7 and 8s who love to read, and are ready- ing to face off against other bookworms. Durham's libraries re- cently put out the call out for students in grades 4 to 8 to register for Battle of the Books 2019. The annual competition sees teams of students read a list of 30 books, then square off to answer tough trivia questions about them. The competition is host- ed at two levels - a junior di- vision for students in grades 4 to 6 and a senior di- vision for students in grades 7 and 8. Walter E. Harris P.S. boasted a regional winning team last year and is get- ting its junior and senior teams ready for another year of serious competi- tion. "There is a lot of strategy that goes into this," says teacher-librarian April Crocker, who coaches the teams. "The questions are really hard, it's a lot of knowledge that the stu- dents have to have. This year's book lists span different genres, from fantasy and adventure, to humour and mystery. Examples from the ju- nior list for grades 4 to 6 in- clude Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Wind in the Willows and Gordon Korman's Master- minds. The senior list includes Wonder by R.J. Palacio, Ref- ugee by Alan Gratz and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ran- som Riggs. Students are encour- aged to read at least six of the 30 books on their divi- sion list - but Crocker says it's not unheard of for kids to read all 30. Mackenzie Rivoire, a Grade 8 student at Walter E. Harris, is planning to read at least 15. Maybe 16 or 17. "I'm a very avid reader, I love books," she says. "If you like reading, Battle of the Books is so fun. It's very challenging ... and you read books that you might not have tried on your own." Battle of the Books start- ed in 1991 with the Ajax Public Library - Durham's other libraries came on board as word spread. About 750 students from 70 schools took part last year. Seventy schools is a great turnout - but Crocker points out that there are way more schools than that in Durham. She is hoping to see even more participation this year, saying Battle of the Books benefits students in so many ways - from giving their brains a workout, to making new friends and bonding over characters they love. "They get to know a lot of Canadian authors, and they're exposed to books and genres they might not normally read," she says. Teams from schools across Durham will com- pete in semi-battles in April, then the top three teams from each division will face off in a final battle for a chance to win gold, sil- ver and bronze medals. A regional champion- ship is planned for April 11. Registration is open un- til Jan. 28. Visit www.book- battle.ca to register, or drop by your local library.

Last 2 W e e k s ! Opens Nov 9 t h DURHAM - Oshawa MPP Jennifer French has introduced a private mem- ber's bill aimed at ending tolling on Highway 412 in Whitby and Highway 418 in Clarington when it opens. The NDP MPP intro- duced the legislation on Oct. 16. The bill would re- quire all King's road con- nections between Highway 401 and Highway 407 East be free to use. Highway 412 is located in west Whitby just east of Lake Ridge Road and Highway 418 will connect the 401 and 407 in Clarington near Courtice Road and is scheduled to be completed by 2020. "This is an issue that certainly we know well in our region," said French. "The tolls on the 412 are seen as unfair and in fact they act as a deterrent for our families, our workers, our commuters, our com- munity folks, (they) are avoiding the 412 - a new community road - and they're avoiding it due to cost. That's not the best use of the roadway. "People felt the 412 and the 418 being the only two north south connectors to the 407 being tolled is un- fair, people feel that it tar- gets Durham Region," said French. Highways 400, 404 and 427 also connect the 401 and 407 and are not tolled. In Durham the existing 115 connector will not be tolled when the 407 is extended to the 115. French is the NDP's crit- ic for infrastructure, trans- portation and highways and said the issue came up at a traffic town hall she held in spring. She points out the issue doesn't just af- fect Whitby where the 412 is located, but neighbouring communities like Oshawa and Ajax which have con- gested north-south roads. "At the traffic town hall we heard issues specific to Harmony Road (in Osha- wa) and the unbelievable traffic on Harmony Road which is exacerbated by the 407 dumping onto Har- mony and people avoiding the 412 because of the cost," she said. French said she was not able to obtain data on how much revenue the 412 is generating for the province as the information is rolled into the overall 407 East numbers, however volume on the road generally ap- pears light. "It's not generating reve- nue for the province, it's sitting there underuti- lized," she said. Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell supports French's bill and has long advocated removing the tolls on the 412. "The tolls should clearly be removed and be re- moved soon ... there seems to be complete agreement on this, I'm not sure what the delay is in doing it," he said. Mitchell points out that during the election cam- paign Whitby Progressive Conservative MPP Lorne Coe announced he and all other Durham-area PC candidates supported re- moving tolls from the 412. That includes Pickering- Uxbridge MPP Peter Beth- lenfalvy, Durham MPP Lindsey Park and Ajax MPP Rod Phillips. Highway "412 is almost empty, most of the time, to build a road like that, spend all that money and then have it unused is just a complete waste of tax dol- lars," said Mitchell, who points out that the prov- ince is currently working on a large expansion to Highway 427 which will re- main untolled. The Whitby mayor said he believes all of the 400-se- ries connector roads should be treated equally. "If the government wants to start tolling every 400 series road in the GTA, announce it, but don't just single out Durham and Whitby for unfair treat- ment."
