This past Saturday, June 22, marked the end of a one-year pilot project that saw a number of offi- cers using body-worn cam- eras (BWCs) as they con- ducted their duties. Now that the term for the pro- ject has elapsed, cops will cease wearing the devices that captured digital video of their encounters with the public, as the service continues its analysis of the technology. Over the course of the pilot project - which began in June of 2018 - officers from two platoons in the di- vision encompassing Pick- ering and Ajax, as well as traffic enforcement offi- cers and members of the Festive RIDE team, were outfitted with the cameras. Those officers recorded more than 26,000 videos, about half of which were categorized as evidence, and 30 per cent of which have been or will be used as evidence in court for crimi- nal and provincial offences trials. The cameras are widely perceived as a means of as- suring accountability on the part of officers and the individuals with whom they interact, and ensuring the accuracy and quality of evidence gathered by those officers. The technology has and continues to be the subject of an ongoing cost-benefit analysis; BWCs increase the workload for officers who use them, and come with associated costs for data processing and stor- age. A 2016 report to Dur- ham's police services board estimated the cost of fully implementing BWCs in Durham at almost $24 million. The board is taking its time in analyzing BWCs, which have been a topic of discussion since 2014. The service has undertaken a thorough examination of the technology, including frequent consultation with the public, as it mulls equipping all its officers with the cameras. A final report on the is- sue will be sent to the board later this year.

Residents of Pickering's Bay Ridges community are rallying in a show of sup- port for local businesses forced to close their doors after a plaza fire Sunday (June 23). "The impact is quite ex- pansive," said Chris Wright, a resident of Ilona Park Road, who's organiz- ing a community barbecue in the parking lot of the plaza, at Liverpool Road and Krosno Boulevard. All businesses in the plaza are closed, after a fire at the Refuel Kitchen restaurant broke out in the kitchen Sunday after- noon, sending two employ- ees to hospital, where they were treated and released. Fire officials on scene the next day said that there's heavy smoke dam- age to neighbouring busi- nesses and structural damage to the roof, while any business handling food will need a health in- spection before reopening. The plaza also includes the Bay Ridges Market, Subway, Liverpool Phar- macy, Square Boy Pizza, the Royal Barber Shop, Ri- viera Coiffure, Dogs Town grooming and Zeera By the Bay Indian cuisine restau- rant. Pickering chief fire pre- vention officer Stephen Fowlds, who was at the pla- za Monday morning to speak to merchants gath- ered in the parking lot, couldn't give them an ex- act answer as to when businesses could open again - he advised busi- ness owners to contact their own insurance com- panies. "I was there this morn- ing, and everyone's in tears wondering what to do," said Wright Tuesday morning. "We want the businesses to know the community is behind them and we want them to re- open. Some older people, their big outing is getting their hair done at the Rivi- era Coiffure, that's their social outing. It's more im- pactful than what you'd imagine." People in the neigh- bourhood depend on the pharmacy for medication, he said, and the fire has left people temporarily out of work. Wright said he started working the phone Tues- day morning to get permis- sion from the plaza owner to hold a community bar- becue in the parking lot, and he called Pickering- Uxbridge MPP Peter Beth- lenfalvy, Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and other Pick- ering politicians. The provincial govern- ment is supplying tents and barbecues for the com- munity event, Wright said, while Pickering Coun. Bill McLean and Ian Cumming are helping to get neces- sary permits. "We're going to post signs in the neighbour- hood and on the Bay Ridg- es community Facebook page," said Wright, who added that his wife Tammy is helping organize the barbecue. "It's not a profit- making thing but to raise community awareness, so everyone knows what's go- ing on." The barbecue might al- so lead to ideas on what businesses can do to get their services going again, Wright suggested. McLean said that the plaza fire and the closure of the businesses are deep- ly felt in the neighbour- hood. "A lot of people are dev- astated by the fire," he said. "It's the heart of the community." The Bay Ridges com- munity barbecue will be held Saturday, July 6 at 2 p.m. in the parking lot of the plaza. Wright said there will be a nominal fee to cover costs of hotdogs and ham- burgers.

Premier Doug Ford made the announcement on Thursday. After one year in office he shuffled his cabinet to build on the government's priorities. The new cabinet also in- cludes the addition of one new ministry as well as five new associate ministers. Ford said the changes will ensure that the gov- ernment continues with its agenda of creating good jobs, supporting small businesses, putting more money in people's pockets and restoring trust and ac- countability in govern- ment, while also protecting what matters most through sound invest- ments in health care and education. Another Durham Re- gion member, Pickering- Uxbridge MPP Peter Beth- lenfalvy, remains as the president of the Treasury Board.

AJAX - The town wants all residents to have access to services, regardless of a person's immigration sta- tus. The Sanctuary/Access Without Fear Policy means Ajax staff won't ask a per- son their status when reg- istering for a service. Jai Sahak, the diversity and community engage- ment co-ordinator for Ajax, noted in a report to council's general govern- ment committee, "Through this declaration, we send a clear message that the Town of Ajax rejects all di- vision, intolerance and xe- nophobia." Ajax declared itself a Sanctuary City in June 2017 and it was one of six municipalities to make such a declaration. Ed- monton has since declared itself a Sanctuary City. "Ajax is so unique, as we are the only municipality that's a lower tier, to de- clare itself a Sanctuary City," Sahak said, during the committee meeting on Monday, June 10. Town staff would never ask a person their immi- gration status, he added. Tracey Vaughan, the di- rector of recreation, cul- ture and community devel- opment, said, "Staff would not ask for a specific ques- tion, such as 'can we see your documentation.' As residents, they are entitled to the same services as their neighbours." Mayor Shaun Collier said, "There's a lot of mis- understanding behind this. We're not doing anything we're not already doing to- day." People wouldn't be of- fered free services, nor would someone move ahead of others, Collier said. "For people going through the (immigration) process, we don't want them to be dissuaded about being part of our town, part of our community and ac- cessing services," Collier said. "With this formal desig- nation, residents will have access to town services re- gardless of immigration status, demonstrating that everyone can use our li- braries, our parks, and be kept healthy and safe. Such a policy will entitle the town's undocumented mi- grants with rights and privileges, but more impor- tantly, obligations," Sahak wrote. AJAX POLICY WOULD ALLOW ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR EVERYONE KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durham region.com COUNCIL 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 | Th u r s d a y , J u n e 2 7 , 2 0 1 9 | 12 nancially because we're not get- ting the revenue we were, our ma- terial is still moving," said Kather- ine Ross, waste management technician with the Region of Durham. Ross's comments were in re- gard to China's 2018 National Sword Policy, which banned the import of materials including plastics and mixed paper for recy- cling. The policy also set a very strict contamination rate of 0.5 per cent for materials still accept- ed, a rate virtually unattainable by any North American recycling facility. The move sent commodity prices plummeting. With mixed paper down by as much as 110 per cent, many municipalities are now paying for companies to re- move the material. In Durham Region only news- print and mixed paper commodi- ties were affected by the China policy, as all other materials are purchased or sent to domestic buyers. The region remains in a good position thanks in most part to its dual-stream program. "A lot of people have gone to- ward the single-stream system be- cause it's user friendly, but it's not necessarily the better option," said Ross of programs employed by cities such as Toronto, where residents throw all recyclables in- to a large cart. "We're like an island, every- thing around us is single-stream. We've taken a lot of flack for keep- ing that system, because resi- dents moving in from the west end want single-stream, but it works well for us." The dual stream system re- sults in a much cleaner end prod- uct, with less waste from cross- contamination or "wish-cycling," as Ross and her colleagues refer to the tendency of residents to throw non-recyclable materials into bins. "We get a lot of plant pots, pots and pans, all kinds of stuff," said Ross. "People think if they put it in it magically gets recycled." Fellow waste management technician Steven Jedinak notes it can be confusing for residents because many non-recyclable items carry the triangular recy- cling symbol, a process he refers to as "greenwashing." "Companies may claim their products are recyclable but most facilities can't process the materi- als," he explained. "They want people to think they're doing the right thing but at the end of the day the products can create even more problems. The symbol is irrelevant; our end markets don't want this material. People think anything plastic or metal is recyclable, but food and beverage containers, bottom line, is what we accept." The region currently operates at a seven per cent residual rate, which means seven per cent of materials collected are returned to the waste stream. This is gener- ally because they are not recycla- ble, such as coffee and fast food cups, which cannot be recycled due to their plastic lining. That rate is extremely low compared to neighbouring municipalities. In the City of Toronto the rate has been hovering between 25 and 30 per cent for the last few years, a fairly common residual rate. "With single-stream programs you have one cart and it's easy to look and make sure there are ac- ceptable materials at the top, but you can't tell what's underneath," Ross said of the higher residual rates in single-stream communi- ties. "There's a lot of cross-contam- ination and waste. Durham's ma- terial is really clean, which con- tributes to our marketing success and ability to sell." The region's waste department is also heavily engaged in promot- ing a reduction in single-use plas- tics, such as plastic water bottles. "What's crazy is we get a ton of half-full water bottles," Jedinak says. "People are buying these, drinking them halfway then toss- ing them. It's become such a throwaway society, it's unfortu- nate. It's a good revenue source for us but it's unfortunate, it wouldn't even cost you a penny to fill up a reusable water bottle with the highly regulated water we provide from the tap." Plastic film and plastic shop- ping bags are another problemat- ic item. Not only are they not recy- clable, they can also impede equipment by getting wrapped around equipment within the fa- cility. Residents can find local take-back programs for the mate- rial online at www.plasticfilmre- cycling.org, but the fight to re- duce dependence on single-use plastics seems never-ending. "I don't know how to change people's mindsets to get away from single-use products, we've become so accustomed to it," said Ross. The problem has become a fo- cal point for the provincial gov- ernment as well. With 10,000 tonnes of plastic debris entering The Great Lakes each year, the government is looking to tackle the problem of single-use plastics and plastic contamination in the environment with their new envi- ronment plan, which would make producers of products and pack- aging responsible for their end-of- life management. On June 7 the government also announced the appointment of a new special adviser on recycling and plastic waste who will tackle the issue of plastic waste and lit- ter, improving recycling and en- suring producer responsibility. "Ontario families take pride in doing their part for the environ- ment," said Minister of the Envi- ronment, Climate and Parks Rod Phillips. "Knowing this, I was disap- pointed to learn that, while Onta- rio families work to sort and recy- cle properly, government and in- dustry are failing them. Ontario's recycling rates have been stalled for 15 years and up to 30 per cent of what is put into blue boxes are sent to landfill. Not to mention, recent stories highlight how some of Ontario's plastic waste is being unsustainably shipped across the ocean to the Philippines and Ma- laysia." The current Blue Box pro- gram, which has been in place since the 1980s, has been stalled at around 60 per cent diversion rates for the past 15 years and operates at 50 per cent producer funding, leaving revenues and taxpayers to make up the rest. Costs for the program are expected to increase by about $10 million per year after 2019, while a move to full producer responsibility would save munici- palities between $125 and $175 mil- lion annually. In Durham, the region's waste department is responsible for 212,000 curbside pickups and 400 multi-residential building pick- ups, which encompass 25,000 resi- dential units. The program pro- cesses about 48,000 tonnes of ma- terial every year. "Ultimately it comes down to the residents, for the most part residents do the right thing, and want to do the right thing," Ross said. "Our biggest concern at the curb is non-compliant materials." Residents can help by properly sorting and preparing recyclables for their bins, such as rinsing out containers to prevent contamina- tion. "Whatever goes in the blue box we want to make sure we have a proper home for it, that it can be properly sorted and sold," Jedi- nak said. "We want to make sure we have an end market and have a good, sustainable footprint, we look at this with quite the magnifying glass." Indeed, it is a point of pride for the region that everything enter- ing the program finds a home. "The region is very diligent that every material that's collect- ed gets recycled, we don't want to tell residents 'yes, it's being recy- cled,' then landfill it on the back end," said Ross, noting the region is constantly researching ways to do more with its program and bet- ter weather market fluctuations. "People should be dealing with their own waste in their own bor- ders. Durham's philosophy has al- ways been a made in Durham so- lution, we really try to avoid inter- national markets. We're research- ing any possibility, trying to stay ahead of this."

The investigation began after concerned parents re- ported allegations of sexu- al assault against a four- year-old girl who attended the private daycare, at a home on Catkins Crescent, between February and June of 2018, Durham po- lice said Thursday. The man did not work at the daycare, but was a resident of the house at the relevant time, Const. George Tudos said. Tudos said investiga- tors are now hoping to hear from other parents as they try to ensure there are no other victims. "We are trying to get a list of the parents that have utilized this daycare," Tu- dos said. The Children's Aid Society has been noti- fied as well, Tudos said. Christopher Benson, 39, of Catkins Crescent in Whitby is charged with in- vitation to sexual touch- ing, sexual assault, inde- cent exposure and making sexually explicit material available to a person under 14. Anyone with concerns or information relevant to the investigation is asked to contact police at 905-579- 1520, extension 5324 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

Carlos Bastidas was rec- ognized at a June 14 cere- mony in Toronto. The awards are in 12 cate- gories, and the institute on its website says its vision "is to unlock the impact of good leadership and to accelerate positive change through in- novation." Also on the website, the institute stated, "as music di- rector of the Durham Cham- ber Orchestra since 2016, he has contributed to its suc- cess, including increased and diverse audiences." It noted that the Colom- bia-born Bastidas "has worked with many leading Canadian ensembles." He is also the artistic di- rector and principal con- ductor of Ontario Pops Or- chestra. "I am very honoured to be recognized with the prestigious Heritage Award for leadership in the arts community," Bas- tidas stated in a press re- lease. "I have been working very hard in the GTA to de- velop opportunities for young and experienced musicians to perform in a high-quality orchestra." Bastidas added that one of his goals is "for commu- nity audiences to experi- ence concerts with top so- loists at a low cost. "My vision is to have free year-round perfor- mances the last Saturday of the month at the new On- tario Place, making it a des- tination for families and friends to come and enjoy a great concert," Bastidas stated.

DURHAM -- The decision be- tween playing with the OHL or the NCAA can be a difficult one, but ultimately it comes down to what's best for each player, says Jamie Engelbert, who played two seasons with the Cobourg Cou- gars. Having recently committed to play with the NCAA at Provi- dence College, he shared some of the choices he had to make before signing on the dotted line. "When you start playing mi- nor hockey growing up you see the OHL draft from minor midg- ets, so you kind of set your goals to get drafted but for me it didn't happen," he said. "I kind of set myself on going into midget and maybe trying to get drafted, or maybe landing a spot on a team as a free agent, but I just kept get- ting told that maybe there was a different path for me." After sitting down with his parents and uncle, Rob Pearson - who started his OHL career with the Belleville Bulls in 1988 and finished with the Oshawa Gener- als - Engelbert, 19, said he started to consider the NCAA. "After looking into it I really fell in love with that kind of pro- gram and what it could do for me," he said. "Once I made the Co- bourg Cougars I really put my mind toward getting a scholar- ship." With two seasons under his belt with the Cougars, the pros- pect of being a Friar at Provi- dence College unleashed a lot of excitement and joy that had been built up. "It was a lot to take in and I am just really excited," he added. Asked about choosing be- tween the OHL and NCAA, En- gelbert said the OHL sees a lot of the top prospects like Connor McDavid and Nick Suzuki go through. "You want to be the best player like them when you grow up in Oshawa and you're watching the Oshawa Generals," he said, add- ing that things started to prog- ress for him after not being draft- ed and considering all his op- tions. "It came down to university and hockey here if I wanted to keep playing... but once I heard about the NCAA, what really caught my attention was how they are still able to go pro after- wards and you get a great educa- tion." Born in Cobourg, Engelbert started playing hockey with the local novice A team before mov- ing to Clarington and playing AAA with the Clarington Toros for nine years. His advice to players faced with a decision on where to play is to do what's best for you. "There are different paths that are good for everybody," he said. "Whether you sign as a free agent and make an impact, you get drafted and become a star, or if school is your thing and you want to continue it along with hockey, I think each person has their own different way." In the end, he said, it's just about finding the best path for yourself and going with your heart. David DeMarinis, the general manager and coach of the Picker- ing Panthers, said both are great avenues for players - depending on the situation and the individu- al player. "I think every situation is dif- ferent and you have to look at ev- ery case individually," he said. "I think both avenues are fantas- tic." He said the OHL is ideal for players that are drafted in the first, second or third round who are going to go right away. "It's a fantastic avenue be- cause the development of the league is so good and the league itself is so good," he said. The NCAA, he said, is a really good avenue for players who aren't drafted until the third, fourth, fifth or sixth rounds. "Those are a lot of the kids that we have seen over the course of the last three years that I have been in Pickering and it has worked out really good," DeMari- nis said. He said a few recent players have seen their development grow since joining his team. "There are kids like Dustyn McFaul, who played on our team for two years and was a 13th round pick as more of a late bloomer," he said. "He came to us after playing a year in midget and Kingston didn't offer him a pack- age of any sorts, so he decided to come play Jr. A hockey." Four months later he received a full NCAA scholarship for Clarkson University and by June 2018 was drafted in the NHL by the Boston Bruins in the sixth round, 181st overall, he said. "He is a story where a kid just took a little bit longer, was a later draft pick and wasn't a high pro- file kid but just needed some time to develop," DeMarinis said. "He didn't rush his decision, he was patient with the process and it has all worked out." You should consider yourself lucky to be part of either the OHL or the NCAA, he said.

In a blockbuster trade involving eight players from Durham Region, the Panthers have acquired de- fenceman Patrick Demaio and forwards Carson Gal- lagher, Shane Bull and No- ah Bull from the Whitby Fury in exchange for de- fenceman Nathan Porter and forwards Ethan Doyle, Daniel Ebrahim and Riley Girard. It's a trade that could ul- timately work out well for both teams, as the Pan- thers add four key players heading into their final season of junior hockey, while the Fury pick up four locals who are expected to contribute for the next two or three years. The general managers who swung the deal, Pick- ering's David DeMarinis and Whitby's Ryan Ram- say, both agree that the Panthers are looking for big things in 2019-20. "I think it's pretty self- explanatory for anyone that looks at the deal. We want to get older, we want to be better, we want take our shot at it," DeMarinis said. "We're definitely not done. When you get pieces like this, you've got to com- plement them with more good pieces." It's been a busy off-sea- son already for the Pan- thers, who also signed On- tario Hockey League U18 draft picks Connor Olson and Adam Grein, as well as goalie Darius Bell from the Shattuck St. Mary's midget prep program. Earlier, they added defencemen Ryan Grant-Allen and Liam Anderson the Co- chrane Crunch of the Northern Junior Hockey League. The Panthers are com- ing off a frustrating season in which they failed to make the playoffs after los- ing a one-game tiebreaker to Georgetown. The year before, they took the even- tual champion Wellington Dukes seven games in the opening round before fall- ing short. "We had a taste of it two years ago and last year that one-game playoff re- ally stung and motivated us this summer to make some bold moves to get back to where we want to be," DeMarinis explained. "Now we need to take that next massive step and the stuff that we did this week is a step in the right direc- tion." The Fury, who recently underwent an ownership change and replaced coach/general manager Rob Pearson with Ramsay, are looking more long term, and were able to not only get four younger play- ers, but replace local talent with local talent - the deal saw three Whitby players and one from Clarington go each way. Ramsay said the four veteran players had asked to be moved to a contender, but he demanded a solid re- turn from the Panthers - in- cluding Doyle, Pickering's leading scorer last season. "I got tons of calls on them, they're good players, but the way I wanted to do it was I wanted to get youn- ger and I wanted local kids back," Ramsay said. "Dave's going for it this year, so if it worked out where they won it and I end up making a run in a year or two, then it works out for everybody." The Fury are coming off a 33-18-1-2 season that end- ed in a seven-game loss to Wellington in the second round of the playoffs. Ramsay also recently answered a trade request from standout goalie Luke Pearson, Rob's son, send- ing him to the Alberni Val- ley Bulldogs of the British Columbia Hockey League for defenceman Sam Pou- liot and future consider- ations. Pearson was runner-up as OJHL goalie of the year after putting up a 1.94 goals-against average and .938 save percentage.

This is part three of a three-part series on the health halo effect on our food choices. This month, I explore specific foods that are examples of the health halo effect. Granola/Granola Bars: There is no standard for the ingredients in granola or granola bars. They are often made from whole oats, nuts or seeds and dried fruit. However, many granola-type cereals and granola bars are high in sugar and have added in- gredients, including candy and chocolate. If you are looking for a healthy high-fibre, low- sugar breakfast cereal or snack food, read the label on your granola. Aim for at least five grams of fibre and less than 10 grams of sugar for your cereal and granola bars. Veggie Chips: These po- tatolike chips claim to be healthier because they are made from vegetables like beets, spinach and carrots. These chips are often green or red or purple in colour, suggesting they contain ac- tual vegetables. In fact, most of these chips are made from potatoes and contain vegetable powders, which add colour to the chips. They generally contain zero fibre and are high in fat and sodium. Don't let the perception that you are eating your daily veggies lure you into eating large portions of these brightly coloured potato chips. The pictures of veggies on the bag don't mean you are eat- ing actual vegetables. Yogurt: On its own, yo- gurt provides protein and calcium and sometimes vi- tamin D. However, fla- voured yogurts may come packed with added sugar and in some cases, choco- late or other sweetened toppings. Choose plain yo- gurt, two per cent fat, and add your own fruit and top- pings. Greek yogurt is strained. This makes it thicker, creamier and smoother than traditional yogurt. It also has double the protein of traditional yogurt, making it a good choice for breakfast, or a pre- or post-workout snack. Sports Drinks: Sports drinks are heavily mar- keted as essential for any- one who is active. But do we all need a sports bever- age after a soccer game or a swim in the lake? In short, probably not. You might benefit from a sports drink if you are do- ing intense exercise for longer than one hour. Sports drinks usually con- tain lots of sugar but have little nutritional value. Water is usually the best choice before, during, and after physical activity. With all the food trends and conflicting nutrition information out there, it can be tough to tell which foods are actually healthy - and which are nothing more than a marketing gimmick. To avoid being misled by clever marketing tactics, ignore misleading buzzwords, pictures and slogans that make certain foods look as though they are healthier than they tru- ly are. Read the nutrition facts and check the ingredients to ensure you are getting what you are looking for.
