DurhamRegion.com Get more community news now DURHAM - A Bowmanville company has been making life a lit- tle cosier for premature babies born at the Ajax Pickering Hospi- tal. Phoenix AMD International has raised funds to help buy two Giraffe incubators, a vital piece of equipment needed to care for new- borns. Albert Marrache, the president of Phoenix, said of donating the money, "I think every company has to have a corporate responsi- bility to your community, especial- ly to the people who live in the com- munity." They pick charitable endea- vours where there are "tangible re- sults" that the company's employ- ees can see, Marrache said. "It's important to us that they get the best care. At the end of the day, really, money is relatively easy to give. Time is the toughest thing to do," he noted. Last year the company raised funds to buy one unit. This year, the company's employees raised $14,000 and Phoenix matched that to help pay for a second unit. Each incubator costs $52,000. Shree-Sai Parmanand, the pa- tient care manager of maternal newborn/NICU/paediatrics at the hospital, said the incubators are extremely important when caring for a premature new-born.

CRIME TWO DURHAM MEN ARRESTED AFTER THEFT FROM VEHICLES PICKERING - Two men have been charged with drug trafficking after police seized $52,000 worth of Fentanyl during a traffic stop in Pickering Thursday night. At about 11:20 p.m on Nov. 1, police with the drug enforcement unit pulled over a ve- hicle near Bayly Street and St. Martins Drive in Pickering, as part of an ongoing drug investigation. Police seized Fentanyl with an estimat- ed value of $52,000, along with cash and drug paraphernalia. Rukshan Nanayakkara, 24, of Pickering and Diquan Moore, 24 of Mallorytown, were both charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and held for a bail hearing. Anyone with new information about the investigation is asked to call police at 905- 579-1520 ext. 5802 or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca TWO CHARGED AFTER DURHAM POLICE SEIZE $52,000 WORTH OF FENTANYL 3 | Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | W e d n e s d a y , N o v e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m We salute our Veterans Community Office: 4-1154 Kingston Road, Pickering, ON L1V 1B4 Telephone: 905.839.2878 Email: Jennifer.OConnell@parl.gc.ca Lest We Forget Jennifer O’Connell Member of Parliament Pickering-Uxbridge OnSundayNovember11th at11am pleaseattendalocalRemembrance DayCeremony. are usually premature, and hence they still need to grow without disturbance from the external environment stressors. They need to be kept warm and the incuba- tors try and mimic the ideal conditions for the baby to grow healthy," Parmanand said. "The Giraffe is designed with many features, such as built-in weighing scale. This means the baby does not need to be removed from the incubator and put on a scale. Which in turn means less disturbance and facilitates best possible care," she add- ed. The hospital has four Gi- raffe incubators, but Parma- nand said it would be best to have seven. Depending on premature birth rates, an incubator could be in frequent use, she noted. "The babies stay in the Giraffe for about two to three days," she said. The length of stay in an incubator depends on how long the baby has been ges- tating, Parmanand stated. "A baby can stay several days or weeks depending on the medical condition. Ges- tational age of 34-36 weeks babies require the incubator and be a weight of 1,800 grams," she said. The incubators "provide the medical care the babies require but at the same time preserving an environment to continue to grow as they would have in the mother. Also having the Giraffe tech- nology also means we can receive babies back who are from our community that were transferred for higher level of care, such as Sick- Kids. Once the babies are stable from their emergency they can get transferred back to Ajax, so the families are closer to home. The Gi- raffe allows for optimal care of these babies," Parmanand noted. "If we didn't have them, we will still provide them with care, but it may not be in the ideal environment. For example, a Giraffe has a warmer that monitors the temperature inside so the baby is kept warm. If we didn't have the Giraffe, we may have to disturb the baby to check the temperature with our tools," she added. Parents like that the hos- pital has the incubators, she said. "They are comforted by the warm and safe environ- ment their babies are kept in. The parents are grateful for such care close to home," Parmanand stated. That's one of the reasons Phoenix made the dona- tions, Marrache said. "If someone has a prema- ture baby and they need spe- cialized care, if the Giraffe isn't available, they have to travel downtown to take care of or be with the baby. With a Giraffe, the family stays right in the hospital. For us, that's really impor- tant," he said. He noted an employee's wife had a premature baby and needed to use a Giraffe. "Had it not been there, he would have to head down- town, so really, it's very tan- gible for us," Marrache said. Marrache lives in Mon- treal, while his partner Dawn Rowe lives in Picker- ing. "This is a joint effort. It's not just me. It's our vision of how it should be supported, along with what we do, we have to give back to the com- munity. It's getting people involved, raising some of the funds as well," he said. His employees "feel they are also accomplishing something." While it can be hard to get people involved, that's not the case with his employees, Marrache said. "It started as a 30-day challenge. They really get involved. There's satisfac- tion at the end of the day to see what an accomplish- ment is pretty satisfying ac- tually. They want to partici- pate, they want to do more, given they have families. I have to say it's not a hard task to get involved in," he noted. "A business has to reach out and help the larger com- munity," he said. "It's part of our culture, so we build it right into our budget. Com- panies should get involved." Parmanand noted, "We are so grateful for our com- munity donors that support the health of babies born so early, and help families stay so close to home." Tracy Paterson, the CEO of the Ajax Pickering Hospi- tal Foundation, said in a statement, "Making a dona- tion - of any size - helps fund the tools and equipment they need to care for every single person who comes through the hospital's doors like they are family." Anyone who would like to donate to help buy equip- ment for the hospital can contact the foundation at 905-683-2320, ext. 1501 or at aphfoundation@lakeridge- health.on.ca.

Albert Marrache and Dawn Rowe, owners of Phoenix A.M.D. International Inc., saw the new Giraffe Omnibed purchased at the Ajax-Pickering Hospital with their $52,000 donation. The Giraffe is used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and is necessary to care for premature and high-risk infants. The company and its employees have since donated funds for a second Giraffe unit at the hospital.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY Would you take a voy- age on the Titanic? You may soon have the option to do just that. An Austra- lian business tycoon is building an exact replica of the ship that he claims will be ready and open for business by 2022. My only question ... why? It's more than a bit of a head scratcher to me why any- one would want to do this. The wreck of the Titanic was and continues to be one of the worst maritime disasters in history. Its story is horribly tragic. Its impact is still acutely felt in families who lost relatives and friends on that awful night. Sooooo, why turn it in- to a bit of an amusement park? Will the captain be under orders to come real- ly close to any nearby ice- bergs? You know, just to give the paying clientele the full experience? Will people shell out extra to be trapped in steerage for a while? Maybe they'll do a kind of fundraising polar dip? Hearty souls, dressed in evening wear getting to bob about in sub-zero salt- water for a while ... all for a good cause. I don't get it. I really don't. In fact it seems in terribly poor taste to me. And it begs the question, what's next? Is this only the tip of the iceberg, if I may be forgiven a horrible pun? How about a replica Hindenburg? Complete with a buffet barbecue. For an extra 20 grand you can wear an asbestos suit and see what it really feels like to be on fire, 500 feet in the air. While we're at it, why not build a replica Lusita- nia, USS Indianapolis, Empress of Ireland and Edmund Fitzgerald? Wealthy thrill seekers could sink their way across the globe from one wreck to the next. Appar- ently there's a fortune to be made from all of that terror and death. Person- ally, I hope this ludicrous idea dies in dry-dock. I've too much respect for the dead to go anywhere near something like this. Let me be clear. Build- ing and giddily sailing on a replica Titanic is wrong. It's wrong for 1,517 rea- sons. Neil Crone, actor, com- ic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this col- umn HERE'S A TERRIBLE IDEA THAT SHOULDN'T SET SAIL SAILING ON A REPLICA TITANIC IS IN TERRIBLY POOR TASTE, SAYS COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE NEIL CRONE Column BANNING GUNS WILL NOT STOP GANG VIOLENCE, DRUG TRAFFICKING TO THE EDITOR: R E: AJAX WANTS BANNING O F SOME GUNS EXAMINED, NEWS, SEPT. 26 How about the mayor and council examine their heads instead - for missing grey matter! Banning guns is an ad- mission of defeat and fail- ure in the fight against crime! This action by Ajax council is nothing more than political "postur- ing" and a knee-jerk reac- tion to Toronto Mayor John Tory's ill-conceived idea and an insult to the intelligence of the good people of Ajax. Banning handguns or any other guns, for that matter, in Ajax will do ab- solutely nothing to curb gang violence and drug trafficking. It is also iron- ic that Toronto has an- nounced that they will be cutting officers from the "guns and gangs" task force - it couldn't be fun- nier! Ajax's mayor and council should stick to their jobs and find ways of lowering our taxes in- stead. KARLO GOMBAR, AJAX MPAC HAMPERS VOTING PROCESS, RESIDENT COMPLAINS TO THE EDITOR: We were waiting pa- tiently for our voting cards to arrive, and when they had not arrived by the Thursday before they election I decided to find out why. The reason was be- cause MPAC decided to remove us from the list! MPAC had no reason to remove us as we have not even thought about moving and none of our personal details have changed except for my husband's cell number! So we went along to our polling station on the Monday and were put back on the list and cast our votes. My issue is in days of ever lower voting num- bers, how many others were needlessly removed from the list by MPAC (and apparently a lot were) and didn't receive cards, not realizing they could still vote, and therefore didn't bother to do so. Why does MPAC get to decide who can be on a voting list and who can't? Their job is property as- sessment, isn't it? I tried calling MPAC but without spewing a whole lot of information into the phone, I can't even get to speak to a hu- man!

George Fotopoulos, who knew Carmela and her husband David Knight through youth hockey, tes- tified he ran into Carmela at a game on Sept. 13, 2014, two days before she died. Fotopoulos said Carme- la informed him that she and David were in the midst of a rancorous di- vorce. "She was concerned about his overall demea- nour toward her," said Fo- topoulos on Wednesday. "She had some concerns about the level of aggres- sion that was being indi- cated by Dave. She did in- dicate her concern was that if it got much worse than it was, he would at- tempt to kill her." Fotopoulos, a Toronto police officer, said he rec- ommended Carmela con- tact police in Durham, but that she was reluctant to do so. He said he was alarmed when Carmela expressed her concern. "I was taken aback, for sure," he said. "Holy cow. You don't expect to hear a statement like that." David Knight, 46, has pleaded not guilty to first- degree murder, conspira- cy to commit murder, and arson in connection with the death of Carmela, 39. Her body was found in the burned-out garage of their Pebblestone Cres- cent home on Sept. 15, 2014. The Crown alleges David Knight conspired with an- other man to have Carme- la murdered. Fotopoulos said that during their Sept. 13 con- versation Carmela said she had discovered David had been involved with an- other woman, and that he had left their finances in a dire condition. "She said there was that much debt that she would never get out of it," he said. Knight's defence law- yer Marco Sciarra chal- lenged the accuracy of Fo- topoulos's testimony, not- ing there's been evidence that Carmela was working at her job at the TD Bank in Markham on Sept. 13. "I saw Carmela," Foto- poulos replied. "What she did before or after that, I have absolutely no idea." The trial continues in Oshawa.

Whitby Courthouse Theatre presents... NORMAL NEXT to NORMAL DURHAM - In the midst of a suspect pursuit that covered more than 150 kilo- metres, the crew of the Durham police Air 1 heli- copter was confronted with an issue that doesn't nor- mally arise - the possibility they might run out of fuel. "We were actually thinking we might have to land at a gas station," Det.- Const. Lyndon Greene re- called. Greene was part of the Air 1 flight crew in the early morning hours of Jan. 27, 2018, when a frantic call from a woman triggered what would become the longest police pursuit ever in Ontario. A man fleeing from police hit speeds as high as 237 km/h as he raced over 154 kilometres of roadways. Greene was among those honoured Oct. 25, when the 16th annual Po- lice Appreciation Dinner and Awards Night was held in Ajax. Greene said the helicop- ter had just landed after re- sponding to an earlier call when the next incident arose: a terrified woman reported she was being fol- lowed by a man in a vehicle, and that the suspect had tried to ram her car. The woman was instructed to drive to a nearby Durham police station; police on the ground suspended pursuit after the suspect sped away. Greene recognized the suspect's name right away. "I recalled working a file on him in 2008," he said. "I recognized the name. We got back on the helicopter, spun it up and got airborne right away." Greene said his famil- iarity with the accused man caused his sense of ur- gency. "I wasn't going to let this go," he said. "We were gon- na get him." The suspect sped east on Highway 401 but exited the highway, heading toward Peterborough and then doubling back toward Dur- ham Region, zigzagging along roadways in an effort to ditch police. At one point, the Cama- ro reached an astonishing 237 km/h, according to a reading taken by the Air 1 crew. "It was the first time we used our speed measuring system on the aircraft," Greene said. "You could see him passing other vehicles like they were standing still." As the helicopter crew continued to track the Ca- maro, officers laid a spike belt on Ganaraska Road. The suspect hit the belt and, his vehicle disabled, leapt out and ran into the woods. Air 1 hovered above, capturing images of the suspect as he discarded items later determined to be drugs and parapherna- lia. The helicopter crew guided officers on the ground as they closed in and made an arrest. A 47- year-old man was arrested on charges including crim- inal harassment, drug of- fences, dangerous driving and driving with a sus- pended licence. The pursuit, considered to be the longest ever in On- tario and the second-lon- gest in Canada, is just one of the remarkable inci- dents Greene said he's been involved in as part of the Air 1 crew. "It's one of them," he said. "I've got a few." Other officers and po- lice operations recognized during the night: . Project Bradley, an op- eration by the gun and gang unit, begun in the fall of 2017. During Project Bradley, 17 search war- rants were executed and 23 people were arrested, lead- ing to 184 charges. Investi- gators seized approximate- ly $155,000 worth of drugs and $56,000 in cash. Eleven firearms were also seized, along with several rounds of ammunition. . Officers involved in the apprehension of suspects involved in an armed rob- bery at a bank in Courtice in spring 2018. Police spot- ted a suspect vehicle on Highway 401 in Oshawa and attempted to box it in, but the driver kept acceler- ating. At one point, an offi- cer fired a shot as the vehi- cle drove toward him. Sus- pects were rounded up af- ter the driver of the suspect vehicle lost control in Ajax. . Project Westmore, an investigation launched in September 2017 in response to a spate of violent car- jackings and robberies in Ajax. During three of these instances, victims were held at gunpoint and forced to drive to nearby banks to withdraw money. Several victims resisted and faced brutal assaults, with two being sent to hospital for their injuries. On Nov. 28, 2017, the team observed the pair rob a taxi driver. A high-risk arrest was executed and both accused were arrested and charged with more than 60 offences. The accused, two broth- ers from Ajax, are sched- uled to go to trial in March 2019.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland A BOOK THAT'S FIT FOR A FELINE dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | W e d n e s d a y , N o v e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 8 | 10 CLARINGTON — The province wants to help make sure there are enough highly-skilled workers needed for nuclear refurbishments in Ontario, the minister of energy re- cently told Ontario Power Generation at an open house and celebration of two years of refurbishment work at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. “We want to make sure that Ontario Power Gener- ation (OPG) isn’t in the business of doing any re-se- quencing on its work be- cause they don’t have skilled tradespeople,” said Ontario Minister of Ener- gy, Northern Development and Mines Greg Rickford. In his visit to Darlington on Saturday, Oct. 27, Rick- ford said he heard about the need to build the workforce for nuclear technology. He said the provincial government is focused on strong STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) educa- tion from kindergarten to Grade 12. Rickford also wants to see an immediate emphasis on trades and technologies in post-sec- ondary education. “We want to continue to train people for the skilled trades right here in Onta- rio, and shape our educa- tion system to prepare peo- ple for the incredible jobs we have right here at Dar- lington and in the growing nuclear industry,” said Durham MP Lyndsey Park at the Darlington open house. In 2020, OPG and Bruce Power will have parallel re- furbishments underway, creating a huge demand for highly skilled tradespeo- ple. The companies are ar- ranging the schedules to minimize having the same trades in demand at both sites at the same time, building capacity within the current skilled trades workforce and trying to en- tice more people to enter the trades (encouraging more women, members of Indigenous communities and people who are new to Canada to join the nuclear workforce). “This really is innova- tion and high-technology. That’s what’s facilitating the refurbishment of this plant. It takes a very highly- skilled, highly-trained workforce ... skilled in sci- ence, technology, engineer- ing, and math. “And we need to help de- velop that capacity here in Ontario — not just for the Darlington refurbish- ments, but for the Bruce re- furbishments behind it and ultimately for the next gen- eration of nuclear technol- ogy which is being devel- oped right now and will be ready for deployment in the next few years,” said Jeff Lyash, OPG president and CEO. “One of the risks to the project is will we have the workforce to take up those jobs as we need them?” OPG began the first steps in the refurbishment of the first of its four reac- tors at Darlington in Octo- ber 2016. At the two-year mark, 70 per cent of the re- furbishment work is done on the first Darlington re- actor and workers are put- ting it back together. “We’re on the down slope, so to speak. There’s a lot of work still to be done but there’s a lot behind us,” said Gary Rose, vice-presi- dent of the nuclear project management office at OPG The refurbishment of the first reactor was sched- uled to take until February 2020. Lyash added Darling- ton’s refurbishment project is ahead of schedule and on- budget, and the first reac- tor is expected to be brought back to service in the coming months. OPG got approval for re- furbishment of a second re- actor at the Darlington Nu- clear Generating Station in February 2017. After the first unit returns to service, workers will move on to re- furbish the next reactor. If OPG gets government approval, that would be fol- lowed by refurbishment of the last two Darlington re- actors — scheduled to be completed by February 2026. Clarington Mayor Adri- an Foster told the Ontario minister of energy he’d be delighted to see refurbish- ment approved for the re- maining two Darlington re- actors and funding for a lo- cal demonstration site for small modular reactors (SMR) — the next frontier for bringing nuclear power to small remote communi- ties. “We’re way beyond a willing host. We’re an en- thusiastic host,” said Fos- ter. “This is world-class technology and world- class people and a unique opportunity that exists right here ... in our back- yard.” ONTARIO ENERGY MINISTER HEARD URGENT NEED FOR REFURB WORKFORCE AT DARLINGTON OPEN HOUSE Ontario Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines Greg Rickford (right) toured the Darlington station on Saturday, Oct. 27 with OPG president and CEO Jeff Lyash.

But you can make the expe- rience smoother and less stressful by doing your research and knowing which questions to ask. Here are some key questions renters and buyers alike can benefit from asking: How long will I live here? Maybe you’re moving because you got a pro- motion, or are planning on starting or growing your family in the near fu- ture. Make a list of the features you’ll need now and down the road for as long as you plan to be there. What kind of neighbourhood do I want? Things to consider include commute times, languages spoken and the age of kids and people in the area. You can find this kind of information and more about your prospec- tive neighbourhood on the Statistics Canada website. Are there any renovation restrictions? If you’re in a condo, you might be limited to what kinds of upgrades you can make to your flooring or balcony. And even in a house, things like conservation rules or other mu- nicipal by-laws can restrict any makeover plans you might have. How affordable is it? Of course it’s important to make sure the monthly rent or mortgage payments are within your budget, but do some digging beyond these numbers to get a better picture of your future financial situ- ation. How much would it cost to raise a family? Or send your kids to col- lege or university? You can look at Statistics Canada survey data to find these kinds of useful insights. Which way does the property face? It might seem insignificant now, but the direction of sunlight can really affect your day-to-day lifestyle. If you like gardening, a south-facing garden may be important for you. Meanwhile, if you enjoy basking in the early morning and early evening sun, an east- or west-facing home may be best for you. Read about other topics of interest and find out how responding to Stat- Can surveys can benefit you at statcan.gc.ca/mycommunity.

If you’re planning to boost the amount of fixed income investments you hold,make sure you choose wisely.In particular,particular,particular don’t focus only on money-market funds or GICs. Although these can be good short-term “parking spots”while you ponder longer-term options,they tend to offer lower returns than many other types of income investments. Over the long term,you may be better served by bonds.When you invest in quality bonds,the fixed income portion of your portfolio can generate a higher level of income,without going overboard on risk.Bonds issued by governments and blue-chip corporations are generally secure and offer greater returns than money market funds or GICs.In fact,because of the global credit crunch,many quality corporate bonds have not had rates this attractive in many years,so now may be an ideal time to buy. Speak with your financial advisor about implementing a fixed-income strategy that is appropriate for your needs and circumstances. Edward Jones,Member Canadian Investor Protection Fund OSHAWA - "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice," is the pun- chline to the decades-old joke. But it rings true for a group of students at O'Neill CVI in Oshawa, who will spend the next six months practicing in the lead up to a once-in-a-lifetime con- cert at the prestigious New York City venue.York City venue.Y The O'Neill Chamber Choir is slated to perform at Carnegie Hall in April, after being discovered on YouTube.YouTube.Y A student recently post- ed a video of the choir per- forming "This Marriage,"forming "This Marriage,"f arranged by Grammy-win- ning composer and conduc- tor Eric Whitacre. The video was spotted by Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) - and the group in- vited the O'Neill choir to perform with none other than Whitacre himself. "I was blown away," says Erin Collins, a music teach- er at O'Neill and director of the chamber choir. "Every- one knows Carnegie Hall ... and everyone in the choral world knows Eric Whi- tacre, he's like a rock star." The O'Neill choir will do a three-day residency that includes rehearsals with Whitacre, followed by a dress rehearsal and con- cert at Carnegie Hall. "It is quite an honour just to be invited to perform in New York. These won- derful musicians not only represent a high quality of music and education, but they also become ambassa- dors for the entire commu- nity," says Dr. Jonathan Griffith, artistic director and principal conductor for DCINY. The O'Neill Chamber Choir is made up of 25 Grade 11 and 12 students; the school's regional pro- gram includes students from across Durham.from across Durham.f The O'Neill students will be among 200 singers from around the world tak-from around the world tak-f ing part in the Carnegie Hall performance - one of only two Canadian ensem- bles invited. "The students are over the moon, they're so excit- ed," says Collins. "These are amazing, amazing kids and they really deserve this opportunity." But the opportunity does come at a cost - about $1,000 per student for the three-day residency, on top of the travel and accommo- dation costs for the trip. O'Neill students and parents have started a Go- FundMe page with a goal of $20,000, and fundraisers are in the works including a coffee house and sing-a- thon. Collins says teens often aren't familiar with choral music when they start at O'Neill. They're more likely to love singing pop or show tunes. But once they get a chance to sing choral piec- es as a part of a choir, they're hooked. "They buy into the cho- ral sound and what it feels like to sing that music in a choir. It moves you," Col- lins says. Carnegie Hall is one of the most famous concert venues in the world. Opened in 1891, the his- torical landmark has three stages and has featured leg- endary musicians and con- ductors ranging from Leonard Bernstein, Billy Holiday and Duke Elling- ton, to the Beatles, the Roll- ing Stones and Led Zeppe- lin.

Of course, she's flipping the axiom that says that it does. She stands on behalf of her family 27 years after her daughter (born the same year as me) was ab- ducted and murdered and speaks a truth that many of us don't want to hear. Years can go by and we can remain unhealed, but healing is what we desper- ately need and desire. Heal- ing is different than being cured. We associate that with an illness - where some medication or treat- ment worked and now we're better. But the bibli- cal definition of healing is to be restored to normal and isn't that what we all want? We cannot erase the past, our own wrongdoing, the abuse, the neglect or that experience. But oh, to know what it is to be nor- mal! Oh, to relive the days before everything changed. Quite frankly I am sur- prised that the world is still spinning with us involved. From our earliest human interactions, we lied, blamed, murdered, and yet humanity is still here. There must be a God! The French and Mahaffy fami- lies are still here - broken, no doubt, but here and "where there's life, there's hope." Sometimes we don't see the reason why we're still here. But who else could tell Kristen and Leslie's stories? Who else would cry out for justice? It is wrong that their families would have to re- live the past through Ber- nardo's parole eligibility at the 25-year mark. But thankfully the Criminal Code has since changed for serial killers as evidenced in the case of Dellen Millard and Mark Smich - twice convicted killers who won't be eligi- ble for parole for 45 years because of time served, with Millard's time likely even longer since he's re- cently been found guilty of also killing his father. Evil does exist in this world because we have the ability to choose good or evil, but through mercy, faith, hope and love are here too. I pray that these families would know the latter in the fullest mea- sure, that their psyche and wounds would be healed if not by time, then by the Healer and that they would become instruments to right wrongs and to impact our justice system. While it takes a different kind of spirit to do it, may more of us overcome evil with good. Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs. She can be reached at: asrjseesit@gmail.com OPINION HEALING, 27 YEARS AFTER THE PAUL BERNARDO MURDERS COLUMNIST RENAE JARRETT HOPES MORE OF US OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD RENAE JARRETT Column DURHAM - A City of Ka- wartha Lakes man has pled guilty to selling uninspect- ed meat for human con- sumption after he slaugh- tered 20 sheep at a Durham meat plant and sold them to a Toronto retailer. John Perry of Dunsford appeared before justice of the peace M. De Gannes on Oct. 3 in Whitby and pled guilty to selling uninspect- ed/unstamped meat con- trary to Ontario's Food Safety and Quality Act. He was fined $6,000, plus a vic- tim fine surcharge of $1,500. Court heard that the On- tario Ministry of Agricul- ture, Food and Rural Af- fairs (OMAFRA) received a complaint on Jan. 10, 2018 regarding a possible unli- censed food animal slaugh- ter involving Perry. OMA- FRA investigators later de- termined that Perry, a for- mer employee at a provincially-licensed meat plant in Sunderland, used a key he had in his posses- sion to gain entry to the plant after hours to kill 20 sheep. The infraction occurred on Dec. 28, 2017, said OMA- FRA in a press release. Perry then personally delivered and sold the un- inspected meat the follow- ing day to a retailer in the Toronto area using a van belonging to the provin- cially-licensed meat plant. The sheep meat was nev- er inspected or approved to be sold for human con- sumption, said OMAFRA. CRIME CITY OF KAWARTHA LAKES MAN GUILTY OF SELLING SHEEP SLAUGHTERED AT MEAT PLANT JOHN PERRY FINED $6,000 FOR SELLING MEAT FROM 20 SHEEP NORTH DURHAM - Durham cops say they took an estimated $8,000 worth of drugs off the streets after they arrested eight people in Brock Township. Officers wrapped up a drug investigation they started in early October when they executed a search warrant at a home on Thorah Road, Conces- sion Road 1 on Oct. 27, which resulted in the ar- rest of eight people. North Division cops from the community re- sponse unit and criminal investigation bureau were involved in the bust, which led to the seizure of cocaine, methadone and drug paraphernalia with a total value of more than $8,000, say Durham police. Trish Cook, 28, of Twmarc Avenue in Bea- verton, and 56-year-old Bradley Dennis, of Lake- ridge Road in Port Bolster, each face two charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. Four other people were also charged with drug-re- lated offences, add police. Anyone with new infor- mation about this investi- gation is asked to contact Det.-Const. Brohm at 905- 579-1520, ext. 2665.

But our motivation only seems to kick in with the start of summer. There’s nothing like warm weather to encourage us to get outdoors, even if it’s only to begin a walking program. As with any new exercise, if you are over the age of 35, you should get a medical evaluation before beginning. A great way to ease into an exercise routine is to start walking. Walking not only burns fat, it tightens muscles and lowers lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Our walking rate as we go about out daily activities is approximately three miles per hour. The average person should walk at a pace of about one third faster (four miles per hour) to reach a desired exercise hart rate. We need to protect our feet, therefore a good walking shoe is very important. It should provide the most flexibility at the middle of the sole. While walking, your feet do not require the same impact protection as when you are running, so your soles do not have to be thick. Before you begin walking, it is always a good idea to start with at least five minutes of stretching exercises. After you stretch, begin walking slowly. Do so for about five minutes to increase your heart rate. Then walk briskly for about 25-30 minutes. Your walk should end with a five minute decrease in speed to cool down and than five minutes of stretching to prevent stiffness and increase flexibility. Never wear ankle weights. They will put pressure on your joints that evolution never anticipated and are sure to cause future problems. Safe walking is great for all ages. Here are some summer exercise tips to get you ready for your warm weather wardrobe: 1. Dress appropriately for the temperature. Wear light coloured, loose fitting clothing. Always wear a hat with a visor and use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. 2. Drink a lot of water before, during and after the walk. Don’t wait until you are thirsty, by then it’s too late and you may already be dehydrated. 3. Give yourself time to adapt to warmer weather. Exercising in the summer heat puts more strain on the body than in cooler temperatures. 4. Walk in the morning or early evening when it’s cooler and traffic is lighter. 5. Make sure you are visible when walking at night. The greatest threat to the health of a walker is an inattentive driver. Wear bright clothing with reflective tape on your arms, front and back. Also carry a flashlight. 6. Avoid busy streets. Carry only enough money for a phone call or emergencies. 7. Obey the rules of the road. Walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks. Like any form of exercise, walking should be done in moderation, every other day. IF you are concerned about the eather outside, you can always mall walk. Most malls are open early in the morning, and are a perfect temperature. Just think; you won’t have to worry about a pet owner who neglected to scoop their poop.

You’re known for such films as “Zoolan- der,” “Meet the Parents” and “Tropic Thun- der,” suggests a reporter from Italy. Now you’re directing a dark, true life, prison drama. Are people going to go, “Hey, he’s a funnyman; he can’t do this?” Stiller is sitting on a comfortable chair in a posh hotel on the Riviera, facing a jury of 9 or 10 international journalists. He has directed before, but never a TV drama, and certainly nothing as intense as the eight hour Showtime limited series Escape at Dannemora (premiering Sunday, Nov. 18 on CraveTV). So people are curious. A famous comedi- an directing a prison drama? How will this be perceived worldwide? Stiller gets it. “Look, even when you go out with something you think is funny,” he says, “there’s always curiosity because you never know how people are going to react to it.” Besides, he says, “I want to be able to do the things that I want to do. I want to have the opportunity to not be typecast as just directing comedies or just acting in com- edies.” Stiller, who turns 53 later this month, has earned the right to stretch as an actor and as a director. His films so far have earned more than three billion dollars in box office returns. The New York City native also has good role models to point to when it comes to diversifying his career: his parents. Jerry Stiller and the late Anne Meara were well established as a comedy team on Ed Sul- livan’s long-running variety show before son Ben was even born. They also made their marks as single acts on Broadway and on television, in comedy and drama, with Jerry – now 91 – breaking out late in life as a go-to laugh getter on both “Seinfeld” and “The King of Queens”. A health scare also no doubt played into Stiller’s decision to accept new challenges. In 2016, he revealed for the first time that, a few years earlier, he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Following surgery, he was declared cancer-free in 2014. So when the opportunity to direct “Escape at Dannemora” was presented to him, he was open to it – especially because it was based on a true story. Stiller was in Italy in the summer of 2015 shooting “Zoolander 2” when the head- line-making prison escape occurred. Two convicted murderers, Richard Matt and David Sweat, became the first two prison- ers to break out of the 170-year-old Clin- ton Correctional Facility in Upstate New York. They did so with the help of a prison seamstress named Tilly Mitchell that they had each seduced. What followed was a three week manhunt and investigation that made headlines throughout North Ameri- ca. Two writer/producers – Brett Johnson and Michael Tolkin – approached Stiller and asked if he would direct a series based on the escape. Stiller was intrigued but felt unqualified and begged off at first, espe- cially after learning the early draft was based on a great deal of conjecture. Then a detailed, 160-page official report on the escape was released that, in Stiller’s words, “read like a novel.” “I called them up and said if you guys are still looking for a director on this, let’s get everything as real as possible.” Stiller then spent months at the actual penitentiary, talking to both inmates and prison personnel. He knew that the people in this small town, who pretty much all worked at the prison, would be skeptical of a comedian helming this project. Was he going to make laughing stocks out of them all? “Everybody wanted to basically say, ‘Hey, don’t screw this up, don’t portray us as these inept people who didn’t know what we were doing. There’s a bigger picture here.”He also wanted to avoid glorifying the criminals at the heart of the series. “It’s hard when you’re doing a prison escape story to not identify with the protag- onist because you just naturally want them to get out,” says Stiller, reminding reporters that even Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were criminals. “When you watch the series it plays with your head a little bit. You have to realize that these people you are rooting to get out at a certain point are not people who should be out of jail.” Benicio Del Toro, Patricia Arquette and Paul Dano were tasked with playing these true-life characters. Bonnie Hunt and David Morse are also featured. Stiller has directed himself in projects before, includ- ing “Tropic Thunder” and “The Cable Continued on next page RonaldJ.Klein,D.P.M.

The thing I got from him was how much he loved filmmaking; that joy as if he was a kid. He was as into it as ever.” He also saw “Escape at Dannemora” as an opportunity to be involved in the type of project that reminded him of the great movies he saw growing up in the ‘70s. “What’s interesting about a prison is that you can’t have cell phones in a prison or cameras or anything. So all of a sudden, the communication is different, which harkens back to … the movies that I loved growing up,” he told reporters earlier this summer in Los Angeles. “It felt to me like it lent itself to that kind of storytelling.” The project involved 118 days of shooting, most of it in and around the actual pris- on. “In the winter time it’s pretty oppres- sive. It’s really isolated, and very close to the Canadian border in the middle of the mountains. There’s nothing around. The prison is much bigger than the town itself.” In October, Stiller got a big kick out of see- ing the first episode projected up on the big screen in Cannes at the Palais des Fes- tivals. He does believe, however that tele- vision – especially cable channels such as Showtime or on streaming services such as Netflix – is now the place “to tell interesting stories in the way movies used to.” As for concerns about whether comedi- ans should be allowed to direct dramas, well, Stiller will leave those worries to the critics. “For the general audience,” he believes, “they’re just going to want to turn it on and hope this thing is good.” Stiller signing autographs for fans at Cannes.

I frequently see people who are in their late 80’s or even in their 90’s before they make the decision or the deci- sion is made for them that they may no lon- ger remain in their home. Often the people I meet who are moving into a Retirement Residence are doing so after they have had a fall or some other medical emergency that requires a hospital stay. While in hos- pital, they are told that it is no longer safe to remain in their home so it becomes a scramble to nd a suitable place to live that can provide the appropriate level of care while supporting as independent a lifestyle as possible. e stress of the last-minute scramble and even the hospital stay itself may possibly be avoided if the appropriate supports are put in place for a senior who is living in the community. Whether living with family or living alone, there are services available to assist you with everything from showering and dressing (personal care) to nursing or escorting to appointments and companion- ship. For people who are caring for a loved one, there is Caregiver Relief available so that you can take some time out to recharge your batteries. Homecare is also available to those living in a Retirement Residence or during a hospital stay. Many of these services can be o ered and paid for by the Local Health Integration Unit (LHIN) which may be reached via its web- site at http://healthcareathome.ca/cen- traleast/en. However, there may be a limit to the number of visits they may be able to o er you. If you feel a more customized plan of care is required with more hours than the LHIN may o er, there are a number of Homecare Agencies that will work with you to provide the care that you need. Whether living in the community or in a Retirement Residence, you can arrange to have caregiv- ers assist you with any of your needs. In my career, I have assisted countless families to navigate our complicated health care system and guided them to obtain the services that will best support their loved ones in their greatest need. — Anne Murphy is the seniors columnist for Forever Young.

In 1984, I’m sitting in the Pacific South- west Airlines (remember their jetliners with the smiles on their faces) waiting area to catch a flight from San Diego to Los Angeles when I realized a very familiar face was sitting alongside. He was franti- cally searching his pockets for something. “Buddy, can ya spare a dime?” he asked me. It was famed stand-up comedian Jack Carter. Luckily I did have a dime. He took the coin over to a pay telephone and made a call. When he returned it was time for the flight to board. “C’mon kid, you’re my valet,” he quick- ly told me as he faked a “limp” toward the gate. He went up to the agent and informed her I was needed to help him board the plane. I went along with it. We were board- ed along with the women and children and had our pick of seats. It was small talk over the next hour, but big in my memory. Carter hosted an early television variety program called “Cavalcade of Stars” on the oldDuMontNetwork. He was lured to NBC to host his own program titled “The Jack Carter Show”. He made dozens of appear- ances on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Carter died on June 28, 2015. Henry “Henny” Youngman was born March 16, 1906, and grew up to become a comic with a violin who mastered the one- liner: “Take my wife... please.” At a time when many comedians told elaborate anecdotes, Youngman simply poured out his terse remarks broken up occasionally with interludes ofviolinplay- ing. His brief barbs depicted simple, cartoon- like situations. A couple of examples: “My wife said I should take her some- where she’s never been, and I said, ‘Try the kitchen.’” “My wife is crazy about furs and said she wanted something different. So, she went to a furrier who does his own breeding. He crossed a mink with a gorilla. She got a beautiful coat, only the sleeves are too long.” Youngman’s friendly style made it inof- fensive and kept his audiences laughing for decades. During my interview with him, I asked how many jokes he had amassed over the years. “Millions,” he replied. I then asked if he was afraid other come- dians would steal them? “Only as long as Berle’s alive,” he quipped. (They were close friends). Youngman died Feb. 24, 1998, and bequeathed a collection of 6 million jokes to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Berle, who was born July 12, 1908, was a vaudeville-stylecomedianandactor. As the host of NBC’s “Texaco Star Theater” that ran from 1948 to 1955, he was the first major American television star and was known to millions of viewers as “Mr. Tele- vision.” Because of his huge popularity, his show boosted TV-set sales nationally to double to more than 2 million. In Detroit, an investigation took place when the water levels took a drastic drop in the city’s reservoirs on Tuesday nights between 9 and 9:05. It turned out that everyone waited until the end of Berle’s “Texaco Star Theatre” before going to the bathroom.” He earned another nickname after end- ing a 1949 broadcast with a brief ad-libbed remark to chil- dren watching the show: “Lis- ten to your Uncle Miltie and go to bed.” Berle risked his newfound TV stardom at its zenith to chal- lenge Texaco when the sponsor tried to prevent black perform- ers from appearing on his show. Berle broke that colour barrier. I interviewed Berle in 1979 for a front-page feature for the newspaper that employed me at the time and got to chatting with him at a dinner in 1994. I reminded him of our interview 15 years earlier, adding “you probably don’t remember me.” He quickly quipped, “Of course I do … now, what was your name?” When he was at the height of his popularity at NBC, the net- work gave Berle a lifetime con- tract for $1 million a year. Iron- ically, shortly thereafter, his star began to fade, but he got his money every year until his death March 27, 2002.
