The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate remedial solutions and select a preferred solution to rehabilitate the dykes to meet current engineering standards and FOS,while maintaining or increasing the level of flood protection service associated with the existing height of the dykes. This project is being undertaken through Conservation Ontario’s Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects.For further information on this project please visit:www.trca.ca/PADR THE FIRST PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE FOR THE PICKERING AND AJAX DYKE REHABILITATON ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WILL BE HELD ON OCTOBER 30,2019.At this meeting the study team will present the evaluation of alternative solutions,a preferred alternative solution,and an update on consultation activities completed to date for this project.

SAVING YOU MORE DURHAM - A study ex- amining removal or lower- ing of tolls on Durham highways should be com- pleted by the end of the year. Lorne Coe, the MPP for Whitby, said, "The minister of transportation is under- taking a study to review both the economic impact of current toll levels in the surrounding area and the impact of reducing or re- moving the tolls." He said the study will "determine the path for- ward." Lindsey Park, the MPP for Durham Riding, added, "Overall, our focus as a gov- ernment is making life af- fordable, but also improv- ing transportation options for the people of Durham." Tolls on Highway 412 in Whitby and the soon-to-be- opened Highway 418 in Cla- rington have been the ire of local politicians and users, who feel the two highways shouldn't be tolled at all. The provincial govern- ment owns the 407 east of Brock Road in Pickering and both the 412 and 418. A private consortium owns the highway west of Brock. Parks said she and Coe have "been continuously voicing the concerns of our constituents on this issue at Queen's Park. With each minister of transportation we've had in that role since we formed the government, we've met with them to raise that concern." While debating the issue in the election, she said the tolls would be difficult to reverse as they were "part of a large plan with con- tracts in place. As I suspect- ed, that's what we discov- ered. The tolls are cement- ed in the Liberal plan to pay for the highway for the next 25 years. That plan includ- ed increasing the tolls over time." She noted the govern- ment is spending $13 billion a year on the provincial debt. "If we didn't have to pay that, those tolls would be gone tomorrow," Parks said. "The reality is revers- ing these tolls would be a significant change from the Liberal plan." Coe noted he and Parks "have been advocating on this particular topic for quite a long time. I'm pleased the minister has taken action."

Dozens of coaches have told me over the last 35 years how they would rath- er have athletes who have good people skills and are teachable, coachable and have a great personality, rather than someone who is full of him or herself. Let's just for a moment spell out what a good per- sonality looks like in a young enterprising ath- lete. They are friendly, po- lite, responsible, reliable, self-directed, well spoken, outgoing, and make a good impression with everyone. They are mature for their age and ready to ex- ceed and surpass all previ- ous personal levels of per- formance. These players are a spe- cial breed, not just with their skills, talent and pow- er, but with the way they carry and conduct them- selves. Keep in mind that this kind of youngster is not your typical elite athlete. These athletes are careful- ly chosen, developed, trained and nurtured to be a cut above their competi- tion. They have the maturi- ty of someone much older. They are sponges for new opportunities to learn all they can about being the best person they can be, as well as being the smartest athlete. Too many athletes have let the fame, wealth and stardom go to their head and end up destroying themselves and those around them. We don't have to men- tion names, as there are multiple examples. The span of an elite ath- lete or coach is on average five to 20 years. So it is im- portant for every sports personality to be thinking about the long term rather than just this moment in time. A good part of the long- term thinking is to develop the people skills required to be successful in the arts, teaching, business, mar- riage, family and friend- ships. Selfishness, arro- gance, and narcissism don't cut it with most coaches, sponsors, owners, parents or employers. Very talented athletes get a ton of special atten- tion from the media, play- ers, coaches and teachers. After awhile some of these great athletes begin to feel entitled and that ev- eryone should bow down to them no matter how they act. Over time people get annoyed with this kind of narcissistic behaviour and turn against the athlete's abusive and self-righteous tendencies. So if we want to develop athletes this country can be proud of, we need to fo- cus on enhancing the per- sonal skills, not just the athletic abilities and tal- ent.

I did a double take and counted again, taking in the whole collection of hunched dark forms silhou- etted against the sky. Like something out of a western movie, not at all a scene I expected here in Durham Region. But there they were, all facing the same way and evenly spread out, like decorations on a Christmas tree, each maintaining their personal space instead of snuggling together like parrots do. Cool and dignified, that's turkey vultures for you. And dignity personified when they take to the air, one by one, slowly flapping until they catch a rising thermal, spread those long, elegant wings in a wide V and start to circle, floating higher and higher until they're dots in the sky. Then peel out and soar on in a line along their migration route, heading to Texas, Mexico and sunny lands beyond for the winter. They'll perform the same life services they do here - cleaning up road- kill and sterilizing carrion with the strong digestive ac- ids they're famous for. Twenty-two thousand turkey vultures have al- ready been counted at the Detroit River Hawk Watch at the west end of Lake Erie, where most vultures sum- mering in Ontario and Que- bec funnel southward. But believe it or not, there are more to come, and many to be seen here in Durham, roosting in woodlots over- night and taking to the skies mid-morning, visible to anyone who glances up- ward when shadows cross their path. Many other raptors are following the same route - sharp-shinned and Cooper's hawks, red-shouldered hawks, red-tails and harri- ers. And falcons; kestrels, merlins and peregrines. More bald eagles than the 55 already counted at the mouth of the Detroit River, and then the latecomers - northern goshawks, golden eagles, and finally, rough- legged hawks, which fly all the way from the Arctic. From now through No- vember, raptors may be streaming by overhead any day with the right winds, es- pecially north/northwest ones. So keep watching, and don't be surprised if you spot a whole kettle of big birds circling overhead. Or a flock of vultures perched in a tree, waiting for ther- mals.

LOOK UP TO SEE RAPTORS HEAD SOUTH FOR THE WINTER NATURE WRITER MARGARET CARNEY SAYS MIGRATION WILL CONTINUE INTO NOVEMBER MARGARET CARNEY Column NORTHUMBERLAND - An Oshawa man who was duped by a decoy has been fined $5,000 after pleading guilty to firing multiple shots at a fake deer last year near Warkworth. The deer decoy was set up in December of 2018 by con- servation officers respond- ing to reports of unsafe hunt- ing, according to the provin- cial Ministry of Natural Re- sources and Forestry. On Dec. 5, the day it was de- ployed, officers watched as the driver of a truck travel- ling on a concession road came to a stop, pointed a shotgun out the window and fired three shots at it. Officers arrested the man on the spot and charged him. In June of this year, Ken- neth Russell Carter of Osha- wa pleaded guilty to Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act charges including using a firearm to carelessly hunt, unlawfully discharging a firearm from a vehicle, hunting deer without a li- cence, hunting while tres- passing and using an illegal firearm during the deer hunt. Carter was fined $5,000, had his hunting licence sus- pended for a year and forfeit- ed his shotgun, according to the ministry. To report a natural re- source violation call 1-877- 847-7667.

Please keep our community clean. 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 , O c t o b e r 1 7 , 2 0 1 9 | 12 OSHAWA - An Oshawa man convicted of killing his room- mate's aged dog has been sen- tenced to nine months in jail. Kyle Weber has offered no ex- planation for his actions on the night the dachshund, named Timmy, was left mortally in- jured, and he has yet to display any true remorse for the incident, Ontario court Justice Marquis Felix said in passing sentence Monday, Oct. 7. "There is not even one drop of remorse associated with his con- duct," the judge said. "He displays no apparent empathy or sympa- thy for the complainants in this case." Weber was convicted after a trial in July of injuring or endan- gering an animal. During the tri- al, the dog's owner, Ian Chester- ton, described leaving his town- house to take his roommate to work on the night of June 28, 2018, then returning about a half-hour later to find the 11-year-old dog ly- ing grievously injured in a pool of blood. The dog was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic, but was given no chance to survive. Chesterton tearfully described having to have his pet euthan- ized. Weber did not testify or call ev- idence in reply to the Crown's case. When given the opportunity to address the court before being sentenced Monday, Weber apolo- gized to Chesterton, but stopped short of admitting responsibility for the dog's death. Apparently alluding to trial evidence that indicated he was drunk on the day of the incident, Weber said he's "not 100 per cent sure" what happened, but al- lowed "there's a possibility I might have been involved in the death of Timmy." He said he's working to ad- dress issues including substance abuse and anger management. Prosecutor Ngai On Young had called for the judge to impose the maximum jail sentence of 18 months. Defence lawyer Jeffrey Smart recommended a condition- al sentence of house arrest, argu- ing that Weber, who is undergo- ing sex reassignment, would ex- perience undue hardship in jail. The judge said he'd considered Weber's circumstances, includ- ing his struggles with mental health issues, while crafting a sentence. The appropriate term for Weber's crime, he said, is 11 months. "I have lowered the circum- stances in recognition of those circumstances," said Felix. "I am required to separate him from society," the judge added. Court heard there are special accommodations made for trans- gender and transitioning in- mates at the Central East Correc- tions Centre in Lindsay. After his jail term, Weber will be subject to a 30-month term of probation, during which he'll be required to participate in any counselling recommended for him. "You need to focus on your mental health. You have many challenges," Felix told Weber. "You need to address these is- sues." Weber is prohibited from own- ing animals or living in a house with pets for 10 years, and has been ordered to pay Chesterton more than $500 for veterinarian costs. NINE MONTHS IN JAIL FOR DURHAM MAN WHO KILLED ROOMMATE'S DOG A man has been found guilty of inflicting injuries that led to the death of a roommate's dog. Timmy (upper left), one of Ian Chesterton's three dachshunds, was euthanized after an attack in June of 2018 by Kyle Weber. Ian Chesterton photo JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com NEWS I'd like to ask if we're there yet in regards to the federal election, but even if the answer was yes, where would "there" be? Is there really a clear choice as to who de- serves to be the next prime min- ister of this great land? If this federal election cam- paign is a reflection of what's available for leadership, God help us all. I want a recount before we even vote, and the sad thing is many won't vote because of the slim pickings at least from what we're constantly fed because the truth is there are 21 registered po- litical parties in Canada, includ- ing the Marijuana Party, the Christian Heritage Party of Can- ada and the People's Party of Can- ada. This election campaign has been a mix of an extravaganza of promises, news that's not news (blackface, having two campaign planes and dual citizenship) and the usual fluctuating polls. Some days it seems like the candidates are running against each other and the next day, they're running against the person who left office out of defeat. We're still hearing former Prime Minister Stephen Harper's name being called by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer has even called the name of former Ontario premier Kath- leen Wynne. But as for the pre- sent premier - Doug Ford - he can't be found. I hope he can make a comeback from the dog- house since he's still in power. "Our polling has shown Doug Ford has proved to be the political equivalent of kryptonite for the federal Conservatives and so of course, Trudeau likes talking about him a lot," said Shachi Kurl, executive director of the Angus Reid Institute. "Same when it comes to Stephen Harp- er." Did you know the Ontario leg- islature won't resume until after the federal election? Like we don't have matters of our own to get on with. Meanwhile, where's Andrea Horwath? Not with Jag- meet Singh. Politics. I'm not sure it has anything to do with the peo- ple it's supposed to serve, but here we are. I've heard it floated to have None of the Above as an option on the election ballots. If it came back as having the greatest per- centage of votes, could we force these main parties to go back to the drawing board as to what they deem acceptable for their leader- ship if it's unacceptable to Cana- dians and force the media to cov- er more than five parties when we have more than four times as many?!? One can only hope and in the meantime, prepare to vote. Renae Jarrett lives in Dur- ham, loves Canada and is pas- sionate about truth in current affairs.

I've used that line before, years ago, in a sports column, an attempt to be clever using lyrics from the Rolling Stones' classic Sympathy for the Devil. Hopefully there's no need for you to guess my name. I'm Brian McNair, and I have covered sports in Dur- ham Region for more than 20 years. I've spent the en- tirety of that time with Oshawa and Whitby as a fo- cus, but I've also done my fair share of coverage in Pickering. Now I'm all yours - or at least mostly yours. While I will continue to provide some coverage for the Oshawa Generals and other important sports sto- ries that crop up, my main beat is now Pickering news. It's not as though I'm coming in cold - my wife is from Pickering and I've played hockey here for many years - but after so many years in the toy de- partment, I'll admit my nose for news may not be quite as sharp as I'd like. With that in mind, please feel free to lend a hand, or feed me a pass if you prefer the sports ver- nacular. I'm looking to write sto- ries about the issues and people that matter to you. What's bothering you? What makes your heart swell? What questions or concerns do you have about your community? Dare I ask: what's puz- zling you? Sorry, Mick, I just couldn't resist.

TELL ME WHAT'S PUZZLING YOU, PICKERING OPINION COLUMNIST BRIAN MCNAIR WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU BRIAN MCNAIR Column Notice of Completion of Environmental Study Report New Highway 401 Road Crossing from Notion Road to Squires Beach Road Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Study Overview The City of Pickering and Pickering Developments Inc.have completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for a new Highway 401 crossing to connect Notion Road and Squires Beach Road, in the City of Pickering, Region of Durham (see map).The need for a new road crossing to link Notion Road with Squires Beach Road for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists was identified in the City of Pickering Official Plan, Edition 8 (2018), the Town of Ajax Official Plan (2016), the Region of Durham Official Plan (2017), and the Region of Durham Transportation Master Plan (2017). The aim of this Project is to provide improved road network connectivity, capacity and active transportation to support continued growth in the City of Pickering and bring relief to the existing road infrastructure.The study also supports the development of lands located south of Highway 401 and the rail corridor, west of Church Street South, east of a Canadian National Railway spur line, and north of Bayly Street. The Process and Outcome This Study was conducted in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule‘C’projects, as outlined in the Municipal Class EA process (Municipal Engineers Association, October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (R.S.O.1990,c.E.18).An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared.It describes the need for the Project, the evaluation of alternative solutions, evaluation of alternative design concepts for the preferred solution, and recommends a preferred design concept for the new road crossing.Potential impacts associated with the preferred design concept, and mitigation measures to reduce these impacts have also been assessed.The ESR also provides a record of consultation undertaken throughout the Study. The preferred design concept is a bridge crossing of Highway 401 and the rail corridor, with a sidewalk and a multi-use path.Notion Road and Squires Beach Road will be realigned slightly to the west and elevated on the approaches to the bridge.Pickering Parkway will be realigned slightly to the south on the approach to Notion Road.

Go to: www.MattsBungalowHomes.com Creating a basement apart- ment in your home is a great in- vestment whether you’re plan- ning to rent it or use it as an in- law suite. These suites in- crease a home’s value and the income can help pay off your mortgage. Secondary suites are also a great way to get started in the real estate invest- ment business, mainly be- cause you don’t have to pur- chase a second property in or- der to become a landlord. There are other reasons for the growing basement apart- ment trend. Canada’s popula- tion is aging and many seniors are deciding to stay in their homes and familiar neighbour- hoods in order to enjoy inde- pendence for as long as pos- sible. Building a secondary suite allows them to have younger family members live in the main part of the house while they move into a new, smaller unit. Another scenario playing out is the ‘boomerang genera- tion’, children who move back in with parents after college or university in order to pay off student loans and save money to rent or buy their own home. This trend is on the rise, partic- ularly in larger centres be- cause of hot rental markets and the high cost of buying a home. According to Statistics Can- ada, more than one in three young adults aged 20 to 34 were living with at least one parent in 2016. In Ontario dur- ing the same period, more than two in five were living with their parents. In the larger urban ar- eas of Toronto and Oshawa, that number increased to al- most one in two. If you have a basement, you can turn it into a legal apart- ment depending on the laws in your municipality. Once you have the permits, it’s on to the next stage – renovation. Kate Campbell, celebrity contractor, says that installing high-quality soundproofing in your basement ceiling is a key part of making it tenant-ready, as it will preserve your family’s privacy and comfort in your home. She recommends Ca- nadian-made Sonopan Nois- eStop Technology for all her basement renovations. “The product absorbs a wide range of frequencies and significantly reduces the trans- mission of sound and vibra- tions from basement rental units. The standard 4-by-8-foot panels feature cavities of vary- ing dimensions and depths on each side. They are light- weight, simple to install behind drywall and environmentally friendly because they’re made from 100 per cent recycled wood and are totally recycla- ble.” Campbell suggests that it’s best to incorporate sound- proofing into your original de- sign, since soundproofing at the construction phase is con- siderably more effective and will end up costing much less.
