"Very early on, the community just immediately turned on to un- derstanding that the hospital was front and centre in dealing with this," said Tracy Paterson, chief executive officer of the Ajax Pick- ering Hospital Foundation. From displaying ribbons in trees and supportive lawn signs to donations of all kinds, Ajax and Pickering residents and busi- nesses have been quick to show they appreciate health-care workers on the front lines. The Town of Ajax quickly jumped on board and encouraged children to decorate their win- GIANT DOSE OF LOVE PUTS HOSPITAL IN GRATEFUL MOOD KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com See DONATED, page 2 Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation CEO Tracy Paterson says the community has stepped up in a number of ways to support hospital staff, who are on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I think people are natu- rally empathetic and as scared as you might be, you have admiration for your neighbours who are step- ping forward and going right into the middle of this," she said. Children at St. Berna- dette Catholic School made a video for the hospital staff. Gifts were given to show support in the forms of cards and posters, masks and many meals. Paterson's own home became a dropoff zone, and items are still showing up. She recently came home to find a bag of homemade surgical caps. Mandarin Restaurant, Amici Pickering and The Pickle Barrel in Pickering are some of the restaurants that have donated hun- dreds of meals to staff. Portly Piper Pub in Ajax twice donated 100 lunch meals to staff. Paterson said around 3,000 meals have been do- nated. "That's just stuff that's come through the founda- tion," she said. "There was more than that that went right into the hospital." Ajax resident Julia Smith wanted staff to have something tangible, so she's both made and col- lected quilts for Ajax Pick- ering Hospital staff. "My husband always asks me what am I doing with my quilts when I'm finished with them be- cause I make a lot," she laughed. So she decided to reach out to nearby quilters, guilds and shops so she could collect as many as she could to donate to the hospital. Twelve people of- fered to help. "Between 12 of us, we got 50 quilts together," she said. She wanted to give them something they could take home with them, a hug made of fabric, so to speak. "They've been going all- out," Smith said. "I thought that they needed some- thing to let them know that the community appreci- ates them." Other initiatives have included painting rocks, a popular activity for kids during the pandemic, and they'll often drop them near the entry and in gar- dens at the hospital. The foundation board ensured coffee machines and coffee starter packages were in each department, and a 'snack shack,' which provided various food items to energize staff, was made possible by donors. And, Paterson points out, staff in each depart- ment is thought of, such as diagnostic imaging, labs and engineering, not only doctors and nurses. The community has thought about the patients too. Knitters and crochet- ers have been making pairs of hearts, one for the per- son in hospital and another for family who cannot visit. Community members and local businesses have been sending in iPads to help those in hospital com- municate with family members who are not al- lowed inside. During the pandemic, many babies have been born at the hospital and their first introduction to family was on the iPad. The same has been done for end-of-life visits. A "breathtaking amount of hockey teams" gave up the iPads they use for time keeping, Paterson said. "We got 70 (in total)," Paterson said. 407 ETR donated $12,500 worth of gift cards and $15,000 in cash. OPG gave generous donations of PPE. Pickering Toyota also donated $15,000 to the foun- dation. It's also been a success- ful time for fundraising for the hospital. "We've raised around $400,000 in Ajax — $315,000 is in cash," said Paterson.

Seventy-eight people died at the long-term-care home and retirement residence during the pandemic, and Lakeridge Health and the Canadian Armed Forces had to step in to help. A military report ex- posed horrific findings by soldiers —including resi- dents left in soiled diapers, improper use of personal protective equipment and improper feeding — which may have been the cause of a death. The families of those who have died at Orchard Villa and those with family members still living there, have long been asking for a public inquiry into the mat- ter. At the June 29 council meeting, council unani- mously endorsed a letter by The Families of Orchard Villa, asking Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Long- Term Care Merrilee Fuller- ton for an independent pub- lic inquiry. The May 29 let- ter was the group's second official request. "Today we are asking you to begin an indepen- dent public inquiry as soon as possible," the letter stat- ed. "You will find that we are united in our need for this type of inquiry, that we do not want an independent commission where infor- mation is controlled and stones can be left unturned. With this request we en- close a link to our petition signed by 5,700-plus individ- uals who have added their voices to our own. How many voices will it take un- til we are finally heard?" The province has launched an investigation into what happened at Or- chard Villa and other nurs- ing homes in Ontario, but the families insist it must be independent and public. Family members spoke in support of the request. Fred Cramer's mother, Ruth Cramer, died at Or- chard Villa on April 19. "I just hope and pray that my mother did not die alone, that someone was with her," he said. In May, council request- ed an investigation into the outbreak and deaths at the long-term-care and retire- ment residence. The mo- tion, introduced by Ward 3 regional Coun. David Pick- les and seconded by Ward 2 city Coun. Ian Cumming, asked that, in addition to Orchard Villa, other affect- ed long-term-care homes, retirement homes and oth- er congregate facilities be part of the investigation. In addition, the motion asked that opportunities be pro- vided for the impacted fami- lies to participate. Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean and Ward 1 city Coun. Maurice Brenner tried to stipulate that spe- cifically a public inquiry was needed at the same council meeting, but the other councillors voted against it. McLean had a similar problem when he tried to do the same at Durham Region council. "I certainly hope this particular support of the City of Pickering is not too late to change the premier's mind," he said.

All Frontline Workers!All Essential Workers! AJAX — For more than two months, an Ajax hotel owner provided the com- forts of home to front-line workers at a local long-term care home. Despite concerns over COVID-19, Subhash Nagpal and his wife Jessica, made sure dozens of staff mem- bers of Chartwell Bally- cliffe LTC residence had a comfortable place to stay in at the Ajax Super 8, close to the LTC and isolated from their own families. “They were our cheer- leaders,” said Lisa Smith, Ballycliffe acting adminis- trator in describing the cou- ple. " (Subhash) knew ev- erybody’s name. He’d al- ways ask you how your day had been. They were so hap- py to us, so worried about everyone’s well-being. ‘How’s the home? How are the residents? Is there any- thing else I can do for you?’” Smith said of Subhash. Ballycliffe, which had a COVID-19 outbreak begin- ning March 29, had 31 deaths from COVID-19. The outbreak lasted until June 14. For Nagpal, 53, who has owned the Super 8 since Au- gust 2017, it was a simple de- cision to help out starting April 4. “I decided I’m going to jump in and I’m going to help them. I decided I’m go- ing to work with them,” Nappal said. Chartwell Retirement Residences President Ka- ren Sullivan, CEO Vlad Vo- lodarski and Fraser Wilson, Vice President, Chartwell Ontario Long Term care, last month thanked the Nagpals in person as Bally- cliffe staff and residents cel- ebrated the end of the out- break. “What you have done for our people is nothing short of extraordinary. You be- came their dedicated sup- porters and true friends," Volodarski said. “You pro- vided them with a welcom- ing place to rest, delicious meals, transportation, laundry and made every at- tempt to meet their needs as they continued their heroic work serving and caring for our residents. On behalf of all of us at Chartwell and from me personally — thank you so much for your exceptional support during the most challenging times.” The Super 8 staff, which included the Nagpals, a manager, a front-desk staff- er and housekeepers, were all fully decked out in PPE whenever they were in the hotel. And when they went home to Brampton to their two sons, aged 5 and 11, the couple took extra precau- tions to make sure they were safe. “When I go home, (my sons) don’t come to me. I put my clothes in the laundry, I go have a shower, and the kids don’t come to my room,” said Nagpal, who admitted he was concerned for his family about having long-term care staff in the hotel. However, he believed it was important to do it. “Everybody should do it. I went to Chartwell yester- day and brought them a piz- za and some salads. They are very nice people,” he said Chartwell Retirement Residences CEO Vlad Volodarski, second from right, and others thank Ajax Super 8 owner Subhash Nagpal and his wife, Jessica Nagpal, at Chartwell Ballycliffe long-term care residence in Ajax recently at a celebration marking the end of the COVID-19 outbreak there.

Peterborough County OPP report two groups of people where swimming at Burleigh Falls when an al- tercation broke out on July 3 at 8:45 p.m. During the melee, a vehicle was hit with baseball bats and golf clubs. The suspects left the scene, but were found in the Young's Point area and arrested. Allan Strong, 18, of Osh- awa, faces several charges, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault with a weapon, driving a vehicle with cannabis readily available, driving a motor vehicle with liquor readily available and being a nov- ice driver with a blood-al- cohol content above zero. Jeffrey Chessman, 21, of Ajax, is charged with pos- session of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose and being a pas- senger failing to properly wear a seatbelt. Randy Chessman, 25, of Ajax, is charged with two counts of mischief under $5,000, possession of an im- itation weapon for a dan- gerous purpose, being in- toxicated in a public place, and consuming liquor in other than licenced prem- ises, residence or private place. All three are to appear in the Ontario Court of Jus- tice in Peterborough on Sept. 8. DURHAM TRIO FACING CHARGES AFTER MELEE IN KAWARTHAS CRIME PICKERING — A Pick- ering man is facing a num- ber of charges after a gun was seized during a traffic stop.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY What's not to love about butterflies? Colourful flow- er-feeders, they flit about in the sunshine on gaudy scaled wings -- and they don't bite people! Every- one's favourite insects are out and about now in their adult stage, just about ev- erywhere that hasn't been sprayed, mowed or seared by drought. The trick is finding such places. In town, obvious spots to look are "butterfly gardens" planted with na- tive, nectar-rich flowers that have landing pads for a butterfly to perch on before it unrolls its delicate pro- boscis and starts to drink. Coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, milkweeds and pearly everlasting are great to start with if you're thinking of welcoming but- terflies to your own garden patch, creating a much- needed oasis in the great desert of our urban land- scape. Out of town, any un- mowed laneway could be a butterfly haven, including hydro corridors, dirt roads and trails through conser- vation areas. My husband and I have favourite spots we've found on official but- terfly counts over the years -- which you'll be glad to know are still taking place this summer of COVID-19, just minus the group tally at the end of the day. We started our first count of the summer as we always do, walking a little- used rail line high in the Ridges, through rolling woodlands where little wood satyrs and northern pearly-eyes hang out -- grey-brown butterflies that blend well with the shad- ows. Our main targets were silver-spotted skip- pers warming up on the railroad ties in the morn- ing sun, the only place we usually find Ontario's larg- est skipper -- this year 26 of them! While we wandered down the tracks we kept close count of tiny orange- and-black northern cres- cents nectaring on vetch, dogbane, milkweed and just about anything else in bloom. White admirals fre- quented the forest edges, fanning their white-band- ed black wings, and we were glad to spot a few great-spangled fritillaries already up and on the move, a brilliant, beautiful orange. And most spectacular, tiger swallowtails dashing by, their black-barred yel- low wings bright against the background greenery. I had three solitary ones zip by me as I headed to the next concession road after Dennis turned back to get the car. And then I found one zigzagging over the tracks right before me, soon joined by another. I stood entranced as they fluttered up together -- a mating dance? -- and then settled side-by-side on a dark shape on the gravel bed -- mammal scat, a source of minerals for many butter- flies. They took no notice when I eventually stepped around them and carried on down the tracks, hunt- ing for more. Nature queries: mcar- ney@interlinks.net or 905- 725-2116. Durham nature writer Margaret Carney has more than 4,000 species on her life list of birds, many seen in far-flung corners of our beautiful planet. BUTTERFLIES COLOUR OUR WORLD EVERY YEAR MARGARET CARNEY ON BEAUTIFUL WINGED CREATURES MARGARET CARNEY Column To the editor: I am very concerned that municipal govern- ments are being forgotten in the midst of this pan- demic. Municipal workers look after our health, maintain infrastructure and provide other essen- tial services. That includes running our emergency services, parks, libraries, recre- ation centres and provid- ing care for the elderly and the young. We need to call on the provincial and federal governments to throw our cities a lifeline. Many of the services we take for granted, but during a pan- demic, they are all the more critical. We need to support the workers who are doing so much to support us. The municipal government is not only a major employer in the community, it will also be a major driver in our national recovery. TIFFANY BALDUCCI PRESIDENT, DURHAM REGION LABOUR COUNCIL 'PLEASE PEOPLE STOP MAKING PICKERING INTO A GARBAGE DUMP' To the editor: It never ceases to amaze me the mentality of the people who think it is okay to throw their masks, plas- tic gloves, coffee cups and fast food debris on the ground around Pickering. Would these people throw these items on the floor of their houses? I live at Finch and Alto- na and the amount of gar- bage I see in the ditches around here is incredible and sick. I can never understand the people who live in the houses in my neighbour- hood who never think to clean up some of this de- bris when it is so visible. In my first years of living here I would pick up bags of garbage but I soon gave that up because it was so overwhelming. So, please people, stop making Pickering into a garbage dump and con- tributing to the mess that already exists. MARJORIE SEYMOUR PICKERING WHITBY COLUMNIST ANDY MEREY THANKED BY READER To the editor: I just wanted to offer some praise and thanks to Andy Merey's opinion piece, '8 Classic Movies About the End of Time.' As a millennial cine- phile and film program- mer, I always enjoy film writing and criticism, no matter the subject or style of writing, and I am espe- cially happy to see atten- tion given to films pro- duced prior to the New Hollywood era, which I feel is being largely ig- nored in the modern film conversation outside aca- demic favourites. Thank you Mr. Merey for giving this era some at- tention.

PICKERING — Darius Spence is a 10-year-old boy with a big message to share. "I've experienced racism myself and it isn't a good feeling," the fifth grader said in a video on Twitter addressed to Toronto Depu- ty Mayor Michael Thomp- son. Erica Edwards chose to talk to her son, Darius, who attends Sir John A. Mac- donald Public School in Pickering, about George Floyd, who died after an of- ficer knelt on his neck while Floyd called out for his mother. Since Floyd was killed, people across the globe have come togeth- er to stand up to racism. Darius was moved by the situation. Impressed with his thoughts on the topic, Edwards chose to film his words and share the video on social media. "My idea is it's a fresh perspective," Edwards said. "It's actually one of the most important perspec- tives. I think their voice hasn't even been consid- ered in all of this." In one part of the video, Darius talks about children who don't want to play with him because of his skin col- our. An even bigger prob- lem: parents telling their children they can't play with Darius for the same reason. "They say you can't hang out with this person be- cause of their skin colou- r. And we have to say that isn't OK," Darius said in the video. This isn't the first time Edwards has heard her children talk about racism at a young age. "All three of my children have been called a racial slur by one of their peers by the age of three," she said, adding the family lived in Montreal before moving to Pickering. Her children have come home and said their peers told them "I look like poo," as one example, and she re- minded them not everyone thinks that way. "It's a very difficult con- versation to have," she said. But she also tells them how important it is to speak up, something Darius ad- dresses in the video. He said if you see a per- son being bullied because of the colour of their skin, even if "you don't even know them," you have to say something. "We can't let our people be bullied like this," he said. Edwards has received a great response from the video. "I am overwhelmed with messages," she said. "I'm re- ally proud of him." Edwards added she's seen some great discussion about the topic on social media. She often uses the platform to start discus- sions on important topics. She feels conversations on solutions to racism need to be had. PICKERING BOY OPENS UP ABOUT THE RACISM HE HAS FACED Darius Spence is a 10-year-old Pickering boy who made a video on his experience with racism. It's getting a lot of traction on social media.

Here are three reasons to choose wall- paper instead of paint for your home. 1. It makes an impact. With a wide range of colours, patterns and textures to choose from, wallpaper makes it easy to make a statement. And there’s an option to suit every style, from bold, geometric patterns to pastel floral prints and more. 2. It’s long-lasting. Wallpap- er that’s been properly hung can last 15 years or more. In ad- dition, it holds up better in high- traffic areas of your home than paint, which should be reap- plied at least every five years. 3. It’s easy to remove. Mod- ern, non-woven wallpapers are designed to easily peel away from the wall in one big sheet. Unlike older types, there’s little risk of damaging the wall un- derneath. If you love the look but aren’t ready to commit, many companies make temporary wallpaper that’s easy to put up and take down. — Newspaper Toolbox 3 reasons to wallpaper your home Charming 3 Bedroom Bungalow Nestled In The Heart Of Ajax.

While many residents are happy to place garbage at their curb knowing it will be taken care of, most do not actually know what happens to it after that. Although widely used across Europe, Durham Region is home to one of only a few energy-from-waste facilities in Canada. Known as the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC), the DYEC is a jointly owned facility that processes 140,000 tonnes of residential garbage per year. Durham Region owns 78.6 per cent (or 110,000 tonnes) of processing capacity and York Region owns 21.4 per cent (or 30,000 tonnes) of the facility’s processing capacity. One common misconception about the DYEC is what type of garbage it processes. The DYEC is only permitted to accept garbage collected from Durham and York Region’s curbside and multi-residential (condos and apartments) programs, as well as our waste management facilities. This is a requirement set out in the facility’s Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) issued by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. Both Regions have established green bin food waste, blue box recycling, and hazardous waste collection programs which promote waste diversion. Materials from these programs are not permitted to be accepted at the DYEC nor is waste from other municipalities such as Toronto or Peel. The DYEC began commissioning in 2015 and burns municipal garbage as a fuel source to generate energy in the form of electricity for as many as 10,000 homes each year-which helps offset the cost of waste disposal in Durham. The facility provides a long-term, sustainable solution to effectively manage the garbage our residents generate while recovering energy and recyclable metals. Some fast facts from the last 5 years include: • 664,000 tonnes of garbage has been processed since 2015 • 408,000 MWhs of electrical has been produced • 15,812 tonnes of ferrous metals have been recovered for recycling • 2,100 tonnes of non‐ferrous have been recovered for recycling The facility operates continuously throughout the year, except for maintenance periods needed to inspect and maintain equipment. In addition to the combustion and energy recovery components, the facility is also equipped with a sophisticated air pollution control system to treat the exhaust gases. The DYEC’s emissions monitoring systems measure the air quality at the stack and must meet the Province of Ontario’s strict standards to continue operations. As our population continues to grow, the amount of garbage generated by residents has increased despite our smarter buying, recycling and composting efforts. When constructed, the DYEC was built to meet the garbage processing needs at the time and with the ability to expand to meet future needs. In 2019, the Regions of Durham and York commenced an Environmental Screening Process, in accordance with the Waste Management Projects Regulation (Ontario Regulation 101/07) of the Environmental Assessment Act, to allow the Regions to better utilize the existing DYEC equipment and increase the processing capacity to 160,000 tonnes of residential garbage per year.

AJAX -- At a special council meeting Monday night, Ajax council unanimously voted to cre- ate an Ajax Anti-Black Racism Congress, the first of its kind in Durham Region. The motion was introduced by Mayor Shaun Collier and second- ed by Regional Councillor Ster- ling Lee. "Members of the community are calling on public leaders to take action on systemic and insti- tutional racism to combat barri- ers felt by Black people, and other racialized groups," said Collier. "I am proud of this council for recog- nizing this is a time to listen to the voices of our Black community and with input from members of the Black Lives Matter move- ment; in order to provide a work plan to address these issues of so- cial injustice locally that have touched so many lives." The move comes one month af- ter George Floyd died after a po- lice officer knelt on his neck in Minnesota, and just days after To- ronto police officer Michael The- riault was found guilty of assault- ing Whitby teenager Dafonte Miller. Michael Theriault and his younger brother, Christian The- riault, were both acquitted of ag- gravated assault and obstruction of justice. As part of the motion, Ajax res- ident Mariska Thomas was ap- pointed to set up a five-person nominating committee made up of members from the town's Black community. Thomas is currently the immediate past president of the Ajax/Pickering Chapter and alternate rep for the Congress of Black Women of Canada, Ontario Region. The independent committee will be tasked with establishing the congress, including a terms of reference, attracting member- ship, screening applications and appointing members. The nomi- nating committee will cease to ex- ist once the above deliverables are complete. Once the congress has been formed, the membership will be authorized to rename the commit- tee should they choose, and devel- op a work plan and meeting sched- ule. The congress is required to update council regularly with its findings and recommendations prior to implementation. "Recommendations that come from the Ajax Anti-Black Racism Congress will only serve to bene- fit all racialized members of our community," said Lee. "As a first generation Chinese Canadian, I'm especially proud to stand beside the Black community and lend my voice and lend my privilege as a councillor to call out anti-Black racism." Once established, the mayor, as the head of council, and the town's Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator will act as the town's liaisons to the Congress.

"It was positive, it was peaceful. There was a lot of validation from the crowd when the speakers spoke," said co-organizer Juliet Young. The event, in support of Black Lives Matter, was or- ganized by a committee of people interested in bring- ing the topic of systemic racism to the forefront. "One thing I noted from the participants, the youth that was there, how many people showed up from all walks of life, of all ages," Young said. "We had partic- ipants as young as five years old all the way up to the 70s." Attendees were asked to wear face masks due to CO- VID-19. The small, peaceful pro- test, which began with speakers at Pickering City Hall, and progressed into a walk around the down- town core, turned into a large outpouring of sup- port for the local Black community. "As we walked, we found the crowd continued to swell and grow. By the time we came back around, there were so many peo- ple," Young said. The committee wanted to send the message that systemic anti-Black racism exists not only in Canada, but in Pickering specifical- ly, and change is needed. "We wanted the aware- ness to be there that it ex- ists but also more than just talking, that action needs to take place in order to dis- mantle systemic racism," Young said. "I feel that mes- sage was heard. There was applauding, clapping." The organizers felt their work paid off. "They were very very energized to continue this work," Young said. She noted three Picker- ing councillors, including Deputy Mayor Kevin Ashe, attended the event, along with Pickering-Uxbridge MPP Jennifer O'Connell. Ward 2 city councillor Maurice Brenner said in a post on Facebook he "had an opportunity to listen to Black youth from Picker- ing share their heartbreak- ing experiences growing up in Pickering and their calls to be treated fairly with dignity and respect and not having to worry about being shot because of the colour of their skin. "As a politician the mes- sage was clear: the time to study and hire expensive consultants to tell us what we already know must stop," he said. "The system- ic practices embedded in government organizations needs to change and there needs to be accountability for those who stand in the way of these changes."

The author never faces writer's block and still comes up with fresh ideas. "It's not a hard chore, it's nothing that I struggle at," he said. It's also thanks to his wife and editor, Joyce Hall, to whom he wrote a special dedication in his most re- cent novel, "Murder Never Sleeps," the second in his Paul West mystery series and his 26th published book. "Usually when I finish a book, I say, 'Hey I'm going to take a break," Hall said in a phone interview from his Pickering condo. "I usually do for two days. Then Joyce usually says, 'You're driving me crazy. Get back writing.'" That's not a problem for the man who writes four hours per day. In the new book, Victor Madison demands Paul West find his only daugh- ter, Cindy, who had been missing for more than two years. Police Insp. Charlie King, West's former part- ner, was the lead investiga- tor into Cindy's now cold missing case, but is given permission to work on it with West. Like with many of the characters in his books, West is based on someone Hall knows. This time, it's his son-in-law, a former po- lice detective. Hall's daughter and son-in-law, both former Toronto cops, answer any questions he has to keep his police details in check. "When it comes to fact, I'm dead on," he said. Hall's ideas come from various places. "I've met a lot of people, I've seen a lot of situations, especially when I was broadcasting and travel- ling so much," he said. Hall was a TV and radio personality for more than 30 years, including host of The Doug Hall Show and Bestsellers. His far-reach- ing career also included being senior press officer for IBM Canada Inc., screenwriter, and execu- tive producer for a number of television musical biog- raphies. Hall wrote his first arti- cle for Canadian High News in Grade 10 when he interviewed students about punishment at home. "I was hooked," he said. He wrote his first novel, "The Brittle Thread," in 1968. When inspiration strikes, he writes, no mat- ter the obstacles. He re- called travelling to cover a news conference and de- cided to write when he got back to the hotel, but there was banging on the wall which distracted him. He went into the bathroom, sat on the tub and wrote. The third in the Paul West series, "Murder Un- chained," will be out in the fall and Hall is currently writing the fourth. He has three more plots to dip in- to. "I'm at the point in my career and everything else, it's not an ego trip. It's a satisfying trip for me to still be able to do it," he said. As the fresh ideas flow, so will his writing. "If that ever stops, I'll stop," he said. "Murder Never Sleeps" can be purchased on Ama- zon, Indigo or through smaller bookstores, such as Sleuth of Baker Street in Toronto. WRITING NEVER SLEEPS FOR 91-YEAR -OLD PICKERING MYSTERY WRITER Pickering resident Doug Hall discussed his latest book, "Murder Never Sleeps.'' The 91-year-old author of many books has no plans to slow down his writing and already has new plots on the go for his next novel. D.
