DURHAM —The Province
has given the go-ahead for sirens
and indoor radios within three
kilometres of Durham’s two nu-
clear plants, says Durham’s
Emergency Measures Ontario
(DEMO) director.
All that’s needed now is for
Regional council and Durham’s
lakeshore municipalities to give
their blessing to the approximate-
ly $2-million plan that would
alert residents in the case of a nu-
clear emergency and the equip-
ment can then be purchased, says
Ivan Ciuciura, the DEMO direc-
tor.
“Once the councils approve it
there’s no impediment,” says Mr.
Ciuciura, who notes the munici-
palities have been requesting this
type of alerting system from the
Province, which regulates emer-
gency preparedness procedures.
“The Province has agreed to it
and Ontario Power Generation
(OPG) has agreed to pay for it.”
The approval came at a meet-
ing Thursday afternoon between
the provincial emergency mea-
sures office, OPG and the chief
administrative officers of the
Durham lakeshore municipali-
ties.
The system will consist of 29
sirens and 6,000 indoor tone
alerting systems for residents liv-
ing within three kilometres of the
Pickering plant and another 17
sirens and 100 indoor systems for
those within three kilometres of
the Darlington Nuclear Generat-
ing Station. There will also be
more than 300 special indoor sys-
tems for the hearing impaired,
says Mr. Ciuciura.
“I think it’s great news,” says
Clarington Mayor John Mutton.
“It’s something we’ve been trying
to make happen and it’s going to
come to fruition. Now it’s time to
get moving on a 10-kilometre
alerting system. On behalf of the
residents of Oshawa and Claring-
ton who live within the 10-kilo-
metre area, it has to be imple-
mented.”
The Province did not give the
go-ahead to expand the system
throughout an existing 10-kilo-

metre nuclear primary zone, says Mr.
Ciuciura. However, if the councils ap-
prove the proposed system right out
to 10 kilometres, that proposal will go
back to the Province for reconsidera-
tion, he says.
The cost to expand the system
across the primary zone would add
about $15 million to the price tag,
also to be paid by OPG.
Mr. Ciuciura notes it may be possi-
ble to find a “compromise” system
for the 10-kilometre zone.
“There may be other ways of
doing it. One option that may be de-
termined suitable for going out to 10
kilometres is just sirens,” he suggests.
With the new system, once sirens
and indoor alarms are sounded, resi-
dents would then turn on their televi-
sion or radio for further instructions,
says Mr. Ciuciura.
He points out there is a system in
place now to alert all residents within
the 10-kilometre zone through a tele-
phone auto-dialling system.
But it takes much longer to notify
everyone through that system, he
says.
A system test this week took 21
minutes to notify 8,000 people.
The Pickering plant’s 10-kilometre
zone includes more than 70,000 prop-
erties and Darlington’s primary zone
includes almost 40,000. As well, the
telephone system relies on people to
be in their homes or businesses to an-
swer.
By contrast, Mr. Ciuciura says,
once the sirens and indoor radio sys-
tems are activated, all residents in the
area who need to be notified would
immediately be alerted.
The recommendations from the
meeting are expected to go to area
councils for approval in the coming
weeks.

DURHAM ––The board of the
local community care access centre
wants changes made to proposed
new legislation governing the 43
centres in Ontario.
While Durham Access To Care’s
board likes some of the bill, it does-
n’t approve of governance changes
which will turn the independent,
community-appointed board into a
provincially-appointed statutory
corporation.
“There is a risk the expertise de-
veloped by our community board
members and the lessons learned
over the past five years will be lost
through this proposal,” said Bill
Botshka, president of DATC.
“DATC is, I believe, one of the
best CCACs in the province,” he
said at a press conference Wednes-
day.
In a recent accreditation process,
the firm doing the accreditation re-
ported DATC is “innovative, cre-
ative and pushing the envelope” in
the way it supervises home care and
other services to thousands of resi-
dents of Durham Region, he said.
“We find a lot of positives” in
Bill 130, introduced by Associate
Health Minister Helen Johns last
week, Mr. Botshka said. The legis-
lation offers “some significant op-
portunities for CCACs and will help
ensure equal access to consistent,
high quality services for
Ontario residents, he said.
What the board does-
n’t like and wants
changed are requirements that the
board and chief executive officer of
all 43 CCACs in Ontario be ap-
pointed by the Province through or-
ders-in-council. The CEOs would
also report to the board and the
Province, giving them two bosses,
Mr. Botshka said. The size of the
board would also be cut to five to
seven people, about half the current
size. While a few CCACs have had
problems recently, that’s no reason
to subject all of them to these new
governance requirements, he said.
Under the legislation, communi-
ty advisory councils would be set up
to help advise the new boards, act-
ing as links with local hospitals and
long-term health care, Ms. Johns
said.

Massive response
to accommodation
plan could push
approval back
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —‘A’ day in
Durham Region is Dec. 17.
That’s when the public
school board is slated to ap-
prove its second, system-
wide accommodation and
school improvement plan.
But Whitby Trustee Elizabeth
Roy, chairman of the Durham
District School Board, ex-
pects that meeting to come
and go with no plan ap-
proved.
“As it stands right now,
(Dec. 17 is) the goal,” she
said. “Do we have an accom-
modation plan on Dec. 17th?
I don’t think so.”
The $89-million draft plan
proposes the closure of seven
elementary schools, and
Trustee Roy said she has re-
ceived “tonnes” of e-mails
and phone calls from those
affected communities and
others left off the plan. So
have other trustees, some of
whom have said publicly they
support keeping some of
those schools open.
“I think there’s going to be
attempts to make changes (to
the plan),” said Trustee Roy.
She said she might sug-
gest additions to the plan be-
yond what is already pro-
posed, but otherwise supports
it.
“It has to be done, there
has to be schools closed,” she
said. “There has to be consol-
idation of schools to enable
programs.”
Scugog Trustee Martin
Demmers opposes the clo-
sure of Epsom Public School
in his municipality. And the
more he considers the plan,
the more he questions closing
any small school.
“I will not support this
plan at all,”Trustee Demmers
said in an interview. “The
more we dig into this, the
more I feel it needs not just
fine-tuning, but revamping.”
He does, however, support
parts of the plan, given his
own analysis of student num-
bers and school needs: the
transformation of Exeter
High School in Ajax into an
elementary facility and the
building of new schools in
Ajax; addressing secondary
needs in Uxbridge and Whit-
by and adding space to Dun-
barton High School.
But, Trustee Demmers
questions whether or not a
new elementary school is
needed in Brock, and if the
full $12 million is needed to
improve Uxbridge Secondary
School.
“Maybe we’ll give
schools what they need in-
stead of what they want,” he
said.
Trustee Demmers said the
accommodation plan process
is a good one and predicted,
“We will end up with a good
plan,” one he believes would
be satisfactory to all school
communities.
Trustee Roy said most of
the people she has heard from
opposed the closures because
the facility is in their commu-
nity school. But schools with
smaller populations are not
necessarily the best option for
students when it comes to
something like extracurricu-
lar activities, Trustee Roy ar-
gued.
“If there’s a better oppor-
tunity at the end of the rain-
bow at another school... then
why would you not give that
opportunity to the kids?” she
asked. “Small schools are
great, but medium schools,
you have a better opportunity
for the kids to be involved.”
Trustee Roy said due to
the way the Province funds
new pupil places, the accom-
modation plan is about dol-
lars. She hopes trustees “look
at the bigger picture”, but
said all trustees, especially
the first-year board members,
have tough decisions to
make.
If the schools slated for
closure were taken off the
list, she said the plan would
have to be far more limited in
scope, since the closures gen-
erate new dollars under the
funding formula.
Trustee Demmers said
studies show smaller schools
have happier students and
teachers and higher pupil
achievement.
He questioned whether
closing the schools will make
much of a difference in the
overall plan, since they would
generate roughly $15 million
in new funding in an $89-mil-
lion plan.

On pines and needles: Festival of Trees under way
Fashion show, gala,
and pyjama party
highlight hospital
fund-raiser
DURHAM —The annual daz-
zling display of decorative trees
and wreaths that is the West
Durham Festival of Trees kicks off
this weekend.
Festival organizer Maureen
Dowhaniuk said last year’s festival
raised over $50,000. Now in its
third year, 300 to 400 volunteers
have been working since February
on the festival’s six events.
“The festival will help bring
people into the Christmas season
and holiday world while raising
much-needed money for the hospi-
tal too,” she said. “It’s going to be
exciting.”
All events are at the Pickering
Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley
Farm Road, and all tickets must be
purchased in advance.
Today (Sunday), from 2 to 4
p.m. the public is invited to check
out the latest fall and winter styles
from some of Durham’s top retail-
ers as a part of a festival fashion
show.
However, the festival’s more
than 50 professionally designed
and decorated four- and seven-
foot-tall trees will not move into
their winter wonderland home at
the complex until Monday and the
first chance for a look before they
open to the public will be at a glit-
tering gourmet event Wednesday,
Nov. 21. From 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
the gourmet event features delec-
table treats from local restaurants,
bars, bakeries and eateries. The
event also features the jazz sounds
of Combo Number Five and voices
of Spice of Life, members of the
Sweet Adelines Eastside Harmony
Chorus. Tickets are $25 each.
The festival’s mistletoe lunch is
the place for a professionally
catered meal surrounded by a back-
drop of seasonal music and car-
ollers. The lunch is Friday, Nov. 23
from noon to 3 p.m. and tickets are
$35.
All the glamour and dazzle of
an elegant, sparkling evening of
fine dining and entertainment can
be yours at a festival gala, Friday,
Nov. 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
The gala features entertainment
from international recording star
John McDermott and Combo
Number Five, as well as a silent
and live auction. Tickets for the op-
tional black tie event are $150.
Pyjama-clad youngsters will de-
scend on the recreation complex
Sunday, Nov. 25 for the festival’s
North Pole pyjama party. The event
runs from 9 to 11 a.m. and includes
a breakfast picnic, special activities
and the musical group, Cat’n the
Fiddle. Admission is $12 per child,
while adults are free with a child.
The festival events wrap up
Sunday evening with the jingle bell
jam from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.
The semi-formal dance is held
amongst the trees with the sounds
of a disc jockey, door prizes and a
late-night buffet. Tickets are $25
each.
All the trees in the festival will
be judged, including a people’s
choice, before they are sold, auc-
tioned or raffled off. All the pro-
ceeds from festival events support
the expansion and redevelopment
of the emergency department at
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering
hospital, originally built to service
20,000 people annually, but now
servicing 40,000.
Throughout the week visitors to
the recreation complex can pur-
chase tax-free gifts at the festival
gift shop and the little ones can
browse through special gifts for
mom and dad at Santa’s secret
shop. Call festival organizers at
905-683-2320 ext. 1501 for tickets

AJAX —An assistant coach with
a high school hockey team faces as-
sault and weapons charges after a po-
lice officer was struck with a broken
hockey stick Thursday night.
Durham Regional Police
spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said
plainclothes officers were trying to
remove a parent from an Ajax arena
after complaints about his “loud be-
haviour” during a high school game.
During the incident, a man inter-
vened and struck one of the officers

The new
winter release
is now
available.
It would be interesting to sit
down with Ernie Eves, Jim Flaher-
ty, Tony Clement, Elizabeth Wit-
mer, Chris Stockwell, Dalton
McGuinty and anyone else aiming
to be leader of this huge, complex
province and find out why the heck
they want to do it.
Aside from the monstrous ego
boost in becoming premier, in win-
ning the leadership and a general
election, what else is to be gained?
Mike Harris got a few kudos
early on in his term, but eventually
bowed under the vast pressures and
interest groups that howled with
hate at his every move and utter-
ance. His legacy will include the
death of Dudley George at Ipper-
wash, the Walkerton water tragedy
and the Dionne sisters’ fiasco,
among other disappointments. To
top it all off, and this is beyond his
control, the deficit he and his fi-
nance ministers worked so hard to
eliminate might well be back be-
fore he leaves the premier’s office
next March.
Talk to Bob Rae about the fun
times he had as premier. After the
shock of winning in 1990 quickly
wore off, Mr. Rae was swamped by
bile from all sides. If it wasn’t one
of his rookie ministers making an
embarrassing and very public mis-
take, he was being chided for sell-
ing out the union support that
helped him get elected. It wasn’t
long before the social contract was
being ridiculed as his finance min-
ister, ‘Pink’ Floyd Laughren, put
the spending furnace on high and
tried to buy his way out of a reces-
sion. We just crawled deeper and
deeper into debt and the NDP was
booted unceremoniously out of of-
fice in 1995.
Ask David Peterson how it feels
to be premier. Once he’d worked
his two-year coalition government
with the NDP, he reigned as pre-
mier for three years from 1987-90.
Then, thinking he actually was
popular with the public, called a
snap election and was, incredibly,
walloped by the NDP. It didn’t
seem possible, but the loss was
such a career disappointment to Mr.
Peterson, he quit in disgust and
hasn’t been heard from much since.
Neither for that matter, has Mr. Rae
since 1995.
Mr. Harris didn’t wait to be
thrown out of office — he decided
to leave on his own terms at a time
of his choosing. Good for him.
As for the current candidates,
one can’t help but feel whoever
wins will come to regret it some
day.
Are attacks and disappointments worth the glory?
Would be interesting to know what makes Ernie Eves, Dalton McGuinty, others, pursue premier’s job

Let businesses make
call on smoking
To the editor:
All I constantly see and read about are
the radical do-gooders who want to
change everything to suit what they think
life should be. I always thought we lived
in a democratic society.
The worst of these are the politicians
who are influenced by these groups and
their pressure tactics. Politicians should
be neutral and do their utmost for all
concerned.
All we seem to do nowadays is ban,
restrict and destroy freedoms, put people
and businesses out in the cold and follow
naysayers for what they think is right
today. Then tomorrow we revert to what
was because they were wrong about
today.
We have seen this repeated so many
times in our lives. Businesses should be
smoking or non-smoking and the public
should have the choice to frequent the
restaurants or places of their choice.

It’s logical to assume after many years of budget cuts and no
tax increases, there would be a substantial regional bill to pay.
But the amount being budgeted for by Durham bean counters
is enough to put us all in shock, if not in hock, for years to
come.
For starters, projections are for the Durham debt load to sky-
rocket from the current $35 million to a staggering $102 million
by 2006. Just to service payments on the interest of that debt
would mean a four per cent tax hike annually on the Region’s
portion of tax bills.
Why, you are entitled to ask, are we in this mess? The re-
gional needs — expansion of homes for the aged, the building
of Hwy. 401 interchanges at Lakeridge and Stevenson roads, af-
fordable housing initiatives, police buildings and ambulance
stations — are a big part of the picture.
Regional government since the early 1990s has been bound
and determined to hold the line on taxes. As a result, services
have suffered. They’ve been maintained at a minimum level, but
capital expenses have been held down as much as possible to
keep taxes in line. Meanwhile, Durham has continued to grow
and the need for services has marched ahead unabated.
Toss in a hefty amount of provincial downloading, including
shared social assistance and housing costs with Toronto, and
Durham’s costs can only increase.
It all adds up and we’re all stuck with the bill.
All we can ask is that Durham councillors take a long hard
look at needs as opposed to wants.
For instance, taxpayers have been paying substantial
amounts for police department upgrading over the past five
years, including a whopping $10-million increase in the past
year alone. Chief Kevin McAlpine has made a solid case for in-
creased resources for his department, calling for staffing levels
that are in line with other regions and municipalities of similar
size. But taxpayers, who will be hit with their own municipal
increases in addition to regional hikes, can’t continue to pay out
huge additional sums to the police every year. There has to
come a time where an upper limit is reached. Regional council-
lors must demand the Durham Police Services Board be rea-
sonable in its requests with the understanding there are many
other worthy regional projects and causes requiring taxpayers’
money.
The notion of a six to nine per cent annual regional tax hikes
for each of the next five years is a little tough to take. Regional
councillors should do whatever they can to cut that amount
down to size.

Hi, my name is Al LaPrade. I am a retired trick
driver. I have lost 90 pounds in 9 short months
thanks to Positive Changes Hypnosis. My waist
size dropped from a bulging 48 inches to a trim
38. This is my true story - exactly as it
happened to me...
I had been overweight since I was 17. At my
heaviest weight I was close to 300 pounds! It
was terribly uncomfortable. My doctor kept
telling me to lose weight. But how?
I had already tried every method going-
tasteless shakes, fad diets-they never worked.
I’d feel hungry and deprived. When I asked my
doctor for diet pills, he told me that I might as
well throw my money in the wastebasket
‘cause they never work.
Yet even when I knew my health was in
jeopardy, I couldn’t stop eating. It was like
having that little devil on my shoulder. I couldn’t
get through a night with out my snacks and ice
cream. I’d only eat one or two meals a day-but
I’d be munching constantly in-between!
My Breakthrough
One day I was reading the newspaper when I
noticed a a story similar to this one. It was
about people who had lost weight after being
hypnotized. I knew that hypnosis worked for
kicking the smoking
habit, I did it myself
fifteen years ago and
haven’t touched a
cigarette since.
Could hypnosis help
me lose my weight?
The newspaper
said that Positive
Changes Hypnosis
was offering a free
hypnosis screening
and evaluation. I
decided to find out
more.
In the free
screening my
consultant explained
everything to me. It
all made perfect
sense. I never felt
pressured and the
fee was easily within
my budget. I was so
impressed that I
signed up on the
spot. I took off 90
pounds in 9 short
months! Immediate
Results
Within a week of
my first session I
noticed changes in
my behavior. I began
eating three
balanced meals a
day. I’d completely
Enjoying Life...
Carrying around 90 pounds of extra weight is misery beyond
works. I’m glad those days are over! Today I am light on my
feet. I have more energy and my clothing fits better. Sitting is
more comfortable. I actually have a lap! When I look at my old
fat clothes, I can’t believe it.
Before losing weight, I’s just sit around doing puzzles.
Thanks to hypnosis, I have more energy. I am out and about. I
do what I enjoy. I recently recovered some old furniture. I never
would have had that much energy before.
I am confident that I will keep my weight off. Hypnosis
knocked that devil off my shoulder. I don’t have to think about
my weight. My new eating habits are automatic.
Plus, I cut my grocery bill in half. I’m saving over $100 a
month!
FREE
Positive Changes Hypnosis put me back in control. I know it
can do the same for you. That’s why I’m urging you to give
Positive Changes Hypnosis a call. Schedule your free hypnotic
screening. It won’’t cost you one penny to find out for yourself.
I am proud of my success and proud of the organization. The
people at PGH are friendly and helpful-I know they would do
anything for me. I wish I could announce my discovery to the
world- Yes, quick, safe and hassle-free weight loss does exist.
I’m living proof!
I recommend Positive Chances Hypnosis without
reservation. Please don’t suffer another minute. Call now.

DURHAM — Textbooks are
valuable learning tools. But when
it comes to understanding a far-
away place, a group of Oshawa
students know you have to be
there, with eyes and ears open.
In recent years, Monsignor
John Pereyma Catholic Secondary
School students have been travel-
ling to the town of Consuelo in the
Dominican Republic, an impover-
ished nation that shares the
Caribbean’s second-largest island
with Haiti. They don’t go to help
build schools or deliver aid, and
they don’t stay in fancy hotels. The
students stay in local homes, most
of which have no running water,
where they are welcomed as part
of the family.
“Other people build things, we
build relationships,” says Sue
Laforet, Pereyma’s religion cur-
riculum chairman.
Originally sponsored by the
Scarborough Foreign Missions,
the one-week trips are now spon-
sored by the bishop of San Pedro
de Macoris in the Dominican who,
she says, sees the value in having
young people from Canada visit
and experience day-to-day life.
“It’s a way for us to bring a cou-
ple of things to the people we live
with (here),” says Ms. Laforet.
“There’s a profound sense of hap-
piness there we don’t understand.”
She has been staying with the
same family for eight years, most
recently for two weeks last sum-
mer. Ms. Laforet bristles at the de-
piction of the poor in television
commercials that solicit aid by ap-
pealing to North Americans’ sense
of guilt. And that defines people by
their poverty.
“Instead of seeing them as poor
people, we are able to see them as
people who are poor; there’s a dif-
ference,” says Ms. Laforet.
She says people there are well
aware of the material wealth peo-
ple in Canada, the United States
and other rich countries possess.
But they are not obsessed with
what they don’t have, and Ms.
Laforet says their faith in God is
greater than ours.
“Their priorities are different,”
she explains.
For students, it’s a rare chance
to see how a different culture lives
and what it values.
“The people are absolutely
amazing,” says OAC student Alicia
McAuley, who made the trip in the
spring. “Here you can live next
door to someone for years and
never talk to them.”
Not so in the Dominican, she
discovered. Ms. McCauley stayed
in a home where the grandmother
ran the household. Eight people
live in the house, but Ms. McAuley
says she was in constant confusion
about who they were: neighbours
and friends came and went as if
they were family, often swelling
the home’s numbers.
She recalled one incident where
an old man she passed on the road
gave her a start.
“He grabbed my hand and at
first I was scared,” says Ms.
McAuley. “He had a big smile and
he wanted to talk to me and pat my
hand.”
OAC students Matt Coxhead
and David Byrne stayed together
in a rough neighbourhood called
La Loma or ‘the hill’.
Mr. Coxhead said they arrived
at the home around 1 or 2 a.m., on
the back of a truck. Their guide
said, “I’ll see you tomorrow,” leav-
ing them to make their own intro-
ductions. They were immediately
made to feel at home.
“We were family; we weren’t
outsiders,” says Mr. Coxhead.
The students also saw what
many tourists who come to the is-
land for sun and the ocean do not
see: the reality of poverty. There
are malnourished children with
swollen stomachs; dilapidated
houses; people picking through the
garbage for food in the open-air
market.
Ms. McAuley describes a surre-
al scene she witnessed at a bateye,
or sugar plantation, where the
Haitian workers live and earn $1
for a 15-hour day of cutting sugar
cane.
“There was garbage every-
where and I just couldn’t believe
it,” she recalls. “There was a horse
tied to a tree, and it looked like it
was days from dropping dead.
There were dogs running around;
kids playing with rusty pliers.”
The sounds they heard had as
much of an impact as the sights:
Roosters crowing all night; dog
and cat fights.
“I blasted the stereo when I got
home,” says Mr. Coxhead.
When his startled parents asked
what he was doing, he replied it
was too quiet.
“I came back and I was so
happy,” says Mr. Byrne. “When I
was down there I was shown how
to love everybody.”
Back in Oshawa, he opened the
door of his house and says he did-
n’t recognize a thing.
“My house had never seemed
so foreign to me because I was ex-
posed to a different way of living,”
he says.
The experience, he adds, re-
moved a lot of complications from
his life and made it simpler. Mr.
Byrne said friends and acquain-
tances found him “unusually
friendly” when he got back, even
with people with whom he had not
been on the best of terms.
He recalls some people in his
Dominican neighbourhood sought
his friendship by telling him they
had a CD player or something else
to impress him. By the end of the
week, Mr. Byrne says, “they real-
ized we weren’t there to be friends
for what they had”.
Ms. Laforet found it “sad,” that
Western standards have eroded the
people’s sense of worth. She says
icons of Western civilization, the
McDonald’s restaurants and Burg-
er Kings, have come and are
spreading in the country.
“The people change; you can
see it,” she says.
Still, Ms. Laforet says students
invariably return home changed.
“Every one of them develop a
greater appreciation of what they
have,” she says. “They develop a
greater understanding of what faith
is all about.”
The students also return with a
desire to do what they can to assist
people in need here.
“I came back home and realized
there are a lot of things I can do
here to help,” says Mr. Byrne. “I
can go down to St. Vincent’s
Kitchen and lend a hand.”
Mr. Byrne, Mr. Coxhead and
Ms. McAuley had hoped to return
to the Dominican Republic in Feb-
ruary. But the Durham Catholic
District School Board has can-
celled all school trips involving air
travel following the Sept. 11 ter-
rorist attack on the United States.
“It was a wise decision by the
board given the situation,” says
Ms. Laforet.
She then recalls the first reac-
tion she and the students had when
they heard the news.
“To be honest, we were all real-
ly angry when it was made,” she
says.
She searches for words to ex-
plain why she returns to the Do-
minican Republic again and again.
“I love it there, I love the peo-
ple,” she says. “I have a lot of
friends there. It’s really hard to ex-
plain, but I have a connection with
people there.”

DURHAM —The Province’s
first education survey is due to ar-
rive in the mailboxes of all Ontario
residents at the end of the month.
And, while some critics have
said the survey is a public relations
exercise, Education Minister Janet
Ecker defended the value of seeking
parents’views.
“We test our students to see how
well the schools are doing their job,
we’re asking parents to give an
overall assessment on how the over-
all system is serving their children,”
she said in an interview Thursday.
The 26-part survey asks parents
if the school curriculum is too hard,
too easy, or about right; if their child
learned the skills they would expect
in the various subject areas; to prior-
itize areas such as instilling a sense
of discipline and enjoying access to
extracurricular activities and if their
child needed extra help beyond
classroom instruction in the last full
school year.
Ms. Ecker is encouraging parents
“not to be shy” in filling out the sur-
vey.
“I have found that actually the
parents I meet and deal with on a
regular basis are not shy on putting
forward their views,” she said.
Ms. Ecker said the survey
demonstrates the government be-
lieves parents are “key education
partners”. It will also provide the
government with advice and input
to help set future directions and ed-
ucation priorities.
While the survey is designed for
parents, Ms. Ecker said she also in-
vites input from grandparents, aunts
and uncles and others.
An undetermined number of
households will also receive tele-
phone calls this winter in a tele-
phone survey she said is “a way to
provide context to what we get back
on the (written) surveys”.
Ron Smale, the school commu-
nity council chairman at Col. J.E.
Farewell Public School in Whitby,
said he’s looking forward to filling
out the survey.
“I think it’s a good process, I’m a
person who’s always believed in
high communication,” he said.
Education Ministry spokesman
Scott Brownrigg said the cost of
printing, distributing and evaluating
the survey is $700,000. He said the
telephone survey would cost “a frac-
tion of that.”

PICKERING —The public school
board’s accommodation plan process is too
short and narrow in its focus, says Karen Wia-
necki, spokesman for Valley View Public
School’s save our school committee.
Valley View is one of seven elementary
schools to be closed in the Durham District
School Board’s draft accommodation plan.
The Valley View community is trying to
keep the school open and made its case to
trustees and officials at a meeting Monday
night in Greenwood.
Ms. Wianecki expressed disappointment
that the entire board of trustees, 11 representa-
tives, are not bound to attend the meetings tak-
ing place at various Durham schools. And that
the plan process does not
permit enough time for a
thorough discussion of the
issues.
“I feel very frustrated
that we’re not getting an op-
portunity to make our case
and have a full community
discussion; there isn’t
enough time,” she said. The
draft plan was released a
month ago and is to be ap-
proved Dec. 17, though that
date is in doubt as some
trustees are expected to rec-
ommend changes.
Ms. Wianecki said
school representatives
would take advantage of the
chance to address the entire
board of trustees at a Dec.
10 meeting at the board of-
fice in Whitby.
She said six trustees at-
tended the meeting in
Greenwood: Paul Crawford (Pickering);
Melinda Crawford and Marilyn Crawford
(Ajax); Elizabeth Roy (Whitby); Nancy Lo-
raine (Brock-Uxbridge) and Scugog Trustee
Martin Demmers.
Trustee Paul Crawford and Pickering
Trustee Jennifer Bridge have said they oppose
the closure of Valley View.
While alternatives to closing the school
were presented, Ms. Wianecki suggested the
board’s mind seems made up. “They didn’t
seem interested at all at looking at options,”
she said. First and foremost,Valley View par-
ents say restoring the former school catch-
ment area would boost the population by 53
students, a number that would increase as
more development takes place. They also pro-
pose alleviating some of the overcrowding in
south Ajax schools by bringing those students
to Valley View on a temporary basis. A third
option is to rejuvenate the school with an ad-
dition and a history-based,outdoor curriculum
program linked to the nearby Pickering Muse-
um Village and the conservation authority.
By looking at the big picture in terms of
Durham Region population growth, Ms. Wia-
necki said the board is not taking into account
young families with school-aged children
moving into the neighbourhood, development
in the community, Hwy 407 that will bring
“astronomical growth,” and the proposed
Seaton community.
Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said she
certainly noted the community’s position and
arguments. But she said she supports the ac-

Yes those snowy days are getting
closer and unfortunately collisions are
inevitable.
Of course no one wants you to get
into an accident but it’s good to know
that there’s a place you can go if the
unthinkable happens.
Three Bears Autobody is just such
a place. It’s has state-of-the-art equip-
ment and the highly experienced staff
who are trained to do all insurance
repairs for all insurance companies.
“We do everything with the cus-
tomer in mind,” says Kevin of Three
Bears. “We know how important their
vehicle is and that they want it to look
the way it did before the collision.
Available year round and with
convenient hours they do everything
from minor dents to major repairs.
At Three Bears they use only the
best quality UV protected urethane in
a two-stage painting system. They
also use a downdraft spray paint bake
oven so your car will look better than
it did when it rolled off the assembly
line.
“We want to exceed the cus-
tomer’s expectations and have them
so satisfied with the job we’ve done
they’ll tell their friends and family,”
says Kevin.
Right now Three Bears will pay
up to $200 towards your insurance
deductible on collision repairs.
“This is a perfect opportunity to
get your vehicle repaired ,” says
Kevin. “Another reason not to delay
is our 90 day, no-interest, no-payment
plan OAC.”
Kevin always wants to remind
you that you should never be pres-
sured by a tow truck driver or insur-
ance company into taking it some-
where you don’t feel comfortable
with.
"Insurance companies or tow
truck drivers may suggest preferred
shops giving the impression you have
to take it there," says Kevin of Three
Bears Autobody. "Well you don't. You
can take it wherever you want and all
you need to get is one estimate You
need to know what your rights are.”
Additional services provided
include a free shuttle service as well
as arranging a rental vehicle depend-
ing on your insurance coverage.

the paint and a warranty on collision
work for as long as you own the vehi-
cle.

DURHAM —Eva
Gainer knows all too well
about the heartache and
pain caused by drinking
and driving.
The Oshawa woman
shared her painful story
about how a drunk driver
cost her family undying
pain and took the lives of
her husband Donald and
their 11-year old son
Bryan, as the Durham
chapter of Mothers Against
Drinking and Driving
kicked off its Red Ribbon
campaign on Thursday.
“I am a victim of im-
paired driving — a horrible
tragedy that could have and
should have been prevent-
ed,” said Mrs. Gainer as she
held back tears.
The Gainers, along with
friend Catherine Millson,
were on the way back from
visiting a friend’s cottage
on a sunny Sunday evening
in July 2000 when a drunk
driver decided to share the
road with them.
The end result was a
triple fatality, including the
drunk driver.
“I don’t even remember
the crash, I was uncon-
scious. However, I was left
in critical condition and
suffered multiple injuries,”
she said, but added how the
pain was nothing compared
to what she felt when she
found out her youngest son
and husband were dead.
“We all imagine what we
would do without (them)
and it’s worse than you
could ever imagine.”
Because of the accident,
Mrs. Gainer has a limp,
problems breathing be-
cause her lungs collapsed
from the accident, a metal
plate near her wrist, and
other health problems. Ms.
Millson has suffered two
strokes after sustaining a
massive blow to her head
and a seven-inch laceration
on her scalp, partial paraly-
sis on her right side, and
many other injuries.
In addition to Mrs.
Gainer’s emotional and
physical pain, she’s now a
single parent and soul
provider for her two re-
maining children: James,
18, and 16-year-old Sara.
The teens were away at a
cottage when the tragedy
took place.
“In a way they (her chil-
dren) have lost their mom
too. I have the same face,
the same voice, but I’m not
the same,” she said. “I can-
not fully believe or accept
they (Donald and Bryan)
are gone,” she said. “We
need to go forward but we
don’t know how. We need
to know what plans to
make with Bryan and Don
not part of our family...
there’s such a void without
Don and Bryan.”
“Our goal now has been
to prevent tragedies like
this from happening again,”
added Mrs. Gainer.
MADD Durham will
have the ribbons available
from November to January
to show support for the or-
ganization’s goals to influ-
ence others not to drink and
drive. Proceeds support
victims of drinking and dri-
ving and raise prevention
awareness. Those you
would like a box of ribbons
to put in their workplace
can call MADD at 905-
655-4245.
Nancy Codlin, president
of MADD Durham, en-
courages residents to wear
or tie the ribbon on their
car to show other motorists
how they look down on
drinking and driving.

Who Should I See For Massage Therapy?
WHAT IS MASSAGE
THERAPY?
Massage therapy is
the manipulation of soft
tissue. Soft tissues include
your muscles, tendons and
joints of the body. Research
is showing that massage
therapy relaxes muscles,
improves range of motion
of joints, increases endor-
phins (the body’s natural
pain killers), increases
blood circulation and lym-
phatic flow, lowers blood
pressure and reduces heart
rate.
WHO SHOULD I SEE
FOR MASSAGE
THERAPY?
Massage therapists
are registered by the
College of massage
Therapists of Ontario and
are regulated under the
Regulated Health
Practitioners Act (RHPA).
Massage therapists
have completed a mini-
mum of 2,200 hours of
training at a government
approved school of mas-
sage. The Quality
Assurance Act requires all
therapists who are actively
practising massage
therapy in the province
of Ontario to continu-
ously upgrade their
knowledge and skills
within their field of
expertise. This will help
ensure the general pub-
lic receive knowledge-
able and skilled profes-
sionals when seeking
out a massage thera-
pist.
HOW DOES MUSCLE
OR JOINT PAIN
DEVELOP?
Obvious muscle and
joint pain can come from
injuries such as motor
vehicle accidents, sports
injuries, slips and falls.
Other types of pain slowly
manifest themselves and a
result of poor posture (cre-
ating muscle imbalance),
poor working conditions
or extended working
hours, and repetitive strain
injuries. You may experi-
ence these manifestations
as headaches, and neck
and shoulder stiffness.
HOW CAN MASSAGE
THERAPY HELP?
Massage as men-
tioned early will decrease
muscle tension, increase
circulation and lymphatic
flow, increase endorphin
release which will aid in
speeding up the
body’s natural
healing process.
Decreased pain and
increased mobility
should occur with
enhanced body
awareness and
active self care
techniques for
rehabilitation after
seeing a massage
therapist.
Headaches, low
back pain, neck and
shoulder pain, tendonitis,
carpel tunnel syndrome
and fibromyalgia are just
some of the conditions a
massage therapist treats.
HOW CAN YOU AVOID
FLARE-UPS OR
RELAPSES?
You can avoid flare-
ups and relapses of your
condition by having peri-
odic massage therapy,
usually once a month after
initial treatments. Plus
with proper exercise, diet
and body awareness, your
ability to control muscle
and joint pain will be
greatly enhanced.
Massage Therapy is
available Monday to
Saturday at The Wellness
Connection, 360 Bayly St.
W. Unit #2, Ajax. For infor-
mation call (905) 426-8503.
Other services avail-
able at The Wellness

acupuncture/hypnosis,
nutritional counselling,

as well as yoga and Pilates

New drug helps treat the pain of heartburn
Friedrich Nietzsche, the Ger-
man philosopher, wrote in 1886:
“The belly is the main reason why
man does not mistake himself for
a god.”
The gnawing, burning pain that
accompanies heartburn, the most
common symptom of dyspepsia
or digestive disease always re-
minds us we’re very human. Now,
a new medication will provide
speedier relief for this ungodly
distress.
Heartburn is a huge problem.
In Canada more than seven mil-
lion people suffer from symptoms
of digestive disease. It’s the fourth
most common reason to visit a
physician and accounts for seven
per cent of all family doctor visits.
The symptoms of digestive dis-
ease include epigastric abdominal
pain, bloating, heartburn, acid re-
gurgitation, nausea, belching and
fullness before completing a
meal.
Putting a finger on the cause of
digestive disease or acid-related
disorders is not always easy. Most
cases are believed to be due to ex-
cess acid in the stomach. Others
are the result of a condition called
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux
disease).
Before a meal, the lower
esophageal sphincter (LES), a
tight ring of muscle separating the
stomach from the esophagus
(food-pipe) usually remains
closed.
Following a meal acid-related
problems occur when the LES ei-
ther doesn’t close or it opens at
the wrong time. This allows acid
contents of the stomach to splash
up into the esophagus causing in-
flammation of its lining.
In other cases it’s poor motility
of the stomach that causes epigas-
tric discomfort. Less often it’s due
to a peptic ulcer and on rare occa-
sions, malignancy.
A recent survey shows 85 per
cent of people believe faulty
lifestyle and poor diet cause
heartburn. There’s little doubt
questionable habits can exacer-
bate symptoms.
But Dr. Richard Hunt, vice-
president of the Canadian Diges-
tive Disease Foundation, says, “In
truth, most individuals experience
symptoms through no fault of
their own.”
The treatment of heartburn,
GERD and peptic ulcers has
changed as much as the old
Model-T Ford. For instance, not
too many years ago, partial re-
moval of the stomach was per-
formed for peptic ulcers.
In 1972 a new era was ushered
in when ‘H2 receptor antagonists’
became available. These drugs de-
creased the amount of acid pro-
duced by the one billion cells that
line the stomach.
The next major advance was
the discovery of PPI’s (proton
pump inhibitors) which cause
even greater suppression of gas-
tric acid.
These drugs such as Losec,
Prevacid, Pantoloc and others
have helped millions of people.
Losec alone has been used by
more than 500 million people suf-
fering from acid-related upper ab-
dominal pain.
Dr. David Armstrong, a gas-
troenterologist at McMaster Uni-
versity, Hamilton, says that “a
new PPI, ‘Nexium’is a refinement
of Losec and the only one that has
proven to be clinically superior to
it.”
Nexium is indicated for the
treatment of conditions where a
reduction of gastric acid secretion
is required. For acute conditions
the recommended dose is 20 to 40
milligrams a day for four to eight
weeks. A dose of 40 mg once
daily provides maximum gastric
acid suppression.
Dr. Nigel Flook, assistant clin-
ical professor at the University of
Alberta, reports that “Patients are
normally completely relieved of
their symptoms in five days com-
pared to eight or nine days on
Losec.
If inflammation of the esopha-
gus is causing the trouble healing
occurs in 82 per cent of cases in
four weeks compared to eight
weeks with Losec.”
Today we know peptic ulcers
are no longer due to stress and
faulty eating habits. Rather, a bac-
terium H. pylori is often associat-
ed with this problem.
Patients with peptic ulcer are
prescribed a combination of Nex-
ium 20 mg, and two antibiotics
amoxicillin 1000 mg and clar-
ithromycin 500 mg, all twice a
day for seven days.
Nexium is well-tolerated, but
since all medications can have
side-effects talk with your doctor
about them.
Dr. Richard Hunt has sombre
news about the health of Canadi-
ans. He claims only one-third
have no heartburn, one-third have
occasional trouble and another
third are chronically affected. And
since heartburn often affects
young and middle-aged people,
industry loses millions annually
in lost worker hours.
I agree with Dr. Hunt that you
can lead a righteous life and still
suffer from heartburn. But never
forget a faulty lifestyle can exac-
erbate acid-related upper abdomi-
nal pain. Don’t try to mimic the
man in the TV ad who exclaims in
distress, “I can’t believe I ate the
whole thing!”
Also don’t be your own doctor.
If you have upper abdominal dis-
comfort that persists, see your
doctor.

Breathe New Life Into A Relationship!
By Ruth Donaldson
Busy lifestyles often leave us
wondering when we will have the
opportunity to see loved ones
much less sit down and have a
conversation. Even if the occasion
presents itself, we often discuss
necessities rather than areas of
common interest. Imagine having
a common interest that could help
you cope with day-to-day stress,
improve your health and was just
downright fun! The interest could
be yoga!
The word “yoga” means
union. What better way to experi-
ence this ancient practice than
with a partner? Yoga is enjoyed by
people of all ages. People of all fit-
ness levels can practice yoga and it
is not necessary to be “superflexi-
ble”. In a safe, non-competitive
environment, yoga students are
encouraged to listen to and respect
their bodies while exploring pos-
tures, breathing techniques and
relaxation methods.
There are many benefits in
practising yoga, some of which are
felt immediately. The body is reju-
venated, stretched and strength-
ened. Circulation, digestion and
respiration are improved. The ner-
vous system is calmed, the
endocrine system is stimulated
and the skeletal system is
strengthened. And that’s just the
beginning! Yoga helps the mind by
calming restless thoughts, culti-
vating concentration and promot-
ing self awareness. Ultimately,
yoga promotes a deep sense of
inner well-being and greater satis-
faction with life.
As with many things in life,
yoga classes can be more enjoy-
able if attended with someone you
love. Being able to share an experi-
ence, encourage each other and
grow together are some of the
rewards. Why not consider mak-
ing yoga a part of your life?
Perhaps your significant other,
teenager, parent or a good friend
would like to join you. They’ll be
glad you asked.
Winter registration for yoga
classes at the greenwood Holistic
Health Care Centre is currently

A birthday poem for Denise
Thompson, as she celebrated her
40th birthday Oct. 26:
“Forty years ago, our Denise was
born,
So now’s our big chance to ridicule
and scorn.
But why up her anguish with a cruel little verse?
When she’s over the hill now — what could be worse?
But the years have been kind to our tall blonde girl,
Who works out daily doing leg lifts and curls.
No matter how busy or stressed she may feel,
She’s committed to getting those buns of steel.
Mother of three and career woman too,
How she pulls it off, we wish we knew.
Thanks for letting us say our little piece,
To wish a happy 40th to Denise!”
Family and friends wish Denise a happy 40th birthday.
Birthday

Ajax blacksmith lights way for
Pickering Museum Village chapel
ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo
Mark Puigmarti put his blacksmithing skills to good use in donated two
handmade candelabra to the Pickering Museum Village’s bible chapel.
He created the pieces using traditional forge welding techniques.
Donation of
candelabra captures
history of bible
chapel
BY LAUREN McKEON
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX —A local blacksmith
has put a new shine on a histor-
ical chapel.
Mark Puigmarti recently do-
nated two handmade candelabra
and a pulley system to the Pick-
ering Museum Village’s Bible
Christian Chapel. The gifts
were designed to replicate light-
ing fixtures from the chapel’s
1850s time era.
The Ajax resident and Dave
Marlowe, education and collec-
tions officer at the museum,
spent a considerable amount of
time researching and planning
the items, eventually producing
a final design that Mr. Marlowe
said, “worked for us”.
To complement the historic
design, Mr. Puigmarti created
the candelabra using an old-
fashioned technique called
forge welding, which was very
common with blacksmiths in
the 1800s.
“Yeah, I made something
look old, but I made it using old
technology,” he said, adding, “I
love them.”
Mr. Puigmarti offered his
talents to the museum as a
chance to showcase his skills
and because he enjoys the craft.
“I’m really interested in the
history of blacksmithing, par-
ticularly from an architectural
point,” he said.
As for Mr. Marlowe, he said
the museum is “very happy
with the result”, adding he has
received many compliments
when they’re lit for weddings
and special events.
Mr. Puigmarti’s interest in
blacksmithing was sparked in
1996 when he and his wife,
Christine, visited ‘grassroots’, a
museum music festival, and met
with members of the Ontario
Artist and Blacksmith Associa-
tion.
He has been developing his
skills in blacksmithing ever
since — that is whenever he has
time away from his day job.
The project was put together
during every spare moment Mr.
Puigmarti could find. When
those minutes are added togeth-
er, he figures it took him about
three days in total. Although he
has completed many smaller
works, the candelabra were his
first-ever large-scale public pro-
ject.
All that glitters at Durham’s Parkwood Estate
DURHAM —More than
4,000 Christmas lights will
brighten the front of Parkwood
Estate starting Wednesday, Nov.
21.
The lights on three Colorado
spruce trees, more than 60 years
old and almost 70-feet high, will
be turned on at 7 p.m. Festivities
run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
A special lamplight tour of
the mansion will begin at 5:30
p.m. and the gift shop will be
open. At 6 p.m., there will be en-
tertainment and carol singing
with the O’Neill Collegiate and
Vocational Institute chamber
choir and jazz band and Durham
Regional Police Cruisers band.
Children can enjoy reindeer
games and face painting by the
Parkwood District Girl Guides.
Free hot chocolate will be
served.
The public is asked to bring
non-perishable food items for
Simcoe Hall Settlement House,
which helps nearly 1,000 fami-
lies each Christmas.
Parking is available in the
O’Neill parking lot, accessible
off Mary Street, north of Ade-
laide Avenue.
Insurance
co-operative saves
money for some
municipalities
DURHAM —Municipalities that
jumped into an insurance co-operative
last year have seen savings of more than
$400,000.
The Durham municipal insurance
pool was launched in July 2000 with
participation by all the Durham munici-
palities except Pickering and Oshawa.
The objective was to protect the munic-
ipalities from increasing insurance rates
by a joint purchase of a three-year fixed
policy with a high deductible and by
self-insuring claims within the de-
ductible.
“It was anticipated that real savings
could be achieved by the member mu-
nicipalities by self-insuring a greater
number of claims within the deductible
limit,” said Jim Clapp, Durham’s fi-
nance commissioner. The plan outper-
formed itself, he told the Region’s fi-
nance committee recently, noting, “In
fact, there was more of a surplus than
we predicted. It illustrates we have been
able to manage the fund ourselves and
we eliminated the profit objective of in-
surance.”
And, added the commissioner, the
savings was achieved “in a year when
claims were up”.
The insurance fund has accumulated
a $305,000 surplus in its first year and
municipalities collectively saved an ad-
ditional $100,000 by dealing with
claims in-house and thereby reducing
claims-related expenses, Mr. Clapp
noted.

Dolphins face Burlington
in atom football final
DURHAM —A lone Ajax-Pickering Dol-
phins Football Club team will compete for a
league crown this season.
The Dolphins atoms defend their Central On-
tario Minor Football League (COMFL) title of a
year ago against a strong Burlington Stampeders
squad today (Sunday), at Toronto’s Ester Shiner
Stadium at 12:30 p.m.
The atoms earned the right to play for the
championship after obliterating the Markham
Raiders 36-8 in a COMFL semifinal contest at
Pickering’s Kinsmen Park last Sunday.
Ajax-Pickering finished its regular season by
crushing the Clarington Tiger Cats 54-0. David
Priestman, Robert Spagnola and David McIlravey
shared the quarterbacking duties. Cecil Cherrie
with two, Jermayne Goodridge, Michael Porten-
er, Jordan McLaughlin, Priestman and Andrew
Smith scored the touchdowns. Travis Thomas and
Michael Portener chipped in with interceptions.
The offensive line — led by Daniel Kelly,
Alexander Ko and Eric Degnan — played in-
spired football. Kyle Savoie, Mark Fedosen, Scott
Campbell, Jordan Coke, Kurtis Barrett, Brett
Jamieson and Kent Williamson all put in an extra
effort in blocking or tackling.
In their penultimate league contest, the Dol-
phins downed the York-Simcoe Buccaneers 38-6.

Priestman led the way with three
touchdowns. The offence executed
crisply from the shotgun formation
thanks to centre Campbell.
The Dolphins’ tykes, meanwhile,
were left out of Sunday’s tyke final
after dropping a 9-0 decision to the
Scarborough Thunder in a semifinal
tilt last Sunday.
The tykes obliterated the Clarington
Tigers Cats 61-0 in their Central On-
tario quarter-final contest. Fullback
Adam Konkle with two, running back
Myles Daly, fullback Florian Schloss-
er, fullback Tristan Garnett, wide re-
ceivers Jordan Oram, Darnell Brown
and David Wilson all scored one
touchdown each. Kicker Giancarlo
Amenta scored five point-after conver-
sions and holder Myles Daly ran the
ball in for one conversion giving the
point-after team an impressive 5-of-8
on conversion attempts. Offensive
stars of the game were lineman Matt
Blum and wide receiver Jeff McIl-
ravey. Defensive stars were cornerback
Denver Wright and linebackers Allan
Forsythe, Jordan Innis and Collin Lee.
The Dolphins earned their fifth
shutout in clawing the Clarington
Tiger Cats 54-0 to end their regular
season with a record of 7-2-1. Defen-
sive stars were linebacker Kiel Whelan
and linemen Kareem Tucker and
Mikael Nelson. Offensive stars were
centre Kyle Debellotte and linemen
Tyler Harding, Greg Sheremeta and
Tyler Colton.
The tykes posted an emphatic 48-6
victory over the York-Simcoe Bucca-
neers. Defensive stars were end Peter
Dearness and outside linebacker Tosh
Miller Francis. Quarterback Jesse
Kelly and running back Daly each
scored two touchdowns. Split end
Oram and quarterback Konkle scored
one apiece. Offensive stars were line-
man Brent Peters and Amenta, who
converted four point-after attempts.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ peewees
were left out in the cold last Sunday
after losing their semifinal encounter
to the Burlington Stampeders 36-8.
Ajax-Pickering advanced to the
semifinals after defeating the North
York Grizzlies 30-14 in quarter-final
action. The Grizzlies scored early in
the first quarter taking a 7-0 lead, but
the Dolphins responded with a touch-
down by Daniel Mason on a 93-yard
run. Mason scored again, followed by
Shanic Thomas and Dan West. West
also kicked three conversions for six of
the 30 points. Other notable perform-
ers were Milos Kucevic, Jesse An-
drews, Chris Webber, Ryan Rouleau,
Dereck Van Dousen, Elbron Barzegar,
Richard Morrison, Jeremy Pohner and
Ryan Clayton.
The peewees finished regular-sea-
son play with a 30-0 win over the Clar-
ington Tiger Cats. The Dolphins ended
the season with a mark of 6-4, good for
third place. West, Ben Schembri,Abby
Olusaga and Clayton scored touch-
downs. West chipped in with two con-
versions. The defence also picked up a
two-point safety.

In any given year,business people spend approximately 2 hours
staring at a fax machine. Note:At noon, some employees go
directly from staring at one machine to another – the microwave.
Research indicates that you will spend
10.6 days a year stuck in traffic. Over the
course of a lifetime, that could amount to
424 days. Some folks believe that the
brake manufacturers are behind it all.

who are these taxi dis-
patchers and what are
their qualifications?
Express check-out counters
set limits on the number
of purchases in order to
save you time.However,
confusion around these

Her faith and hope live on in every
sunrise and sunset;
Written on the wind, the waves and
in the stars.
Her loving soul lives on in songs
that we sing;
Celebrated in the caring and the
tenderness we share.
Our grateful hearts are calm and at
peace.
For she taught us how to cherish life and
how to love one another.
Forever remembered, forever in our hearts
forever our angel
Sadly missed and deeply loved
by family and friends
