That’s how colleagues are de- scribing Kelly Wilson after the Grade 12 student came to the aid of two teenaged girls recently run down by an out-of-control car in front of Dunbarton High School. “Me and my friend had just left school that day and were crossing the street,” she said, of the Oct. 24 incident. “That’s when we saw this car, travelling (quickly), miss its turn, go over the curb and down the ditch and into the two girls.” “I saw them hit the ground and I went to help.” A member of the Toronto EMS MedVent cadet program, Kelly’s first aid and emergency response training immediately kicked into gear. “I told them I was a first-aider and asked them what hurt,” she said. “I just tried to keep them calm and comfortable until the ambulance arrived. They were more scared than anything.” The girls, both Grade 9 stu- dents, were taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital and treated for minor injuries. “I saw them a couple days after the incident at school and they said, ‘Hi’ and ‘Thanks’, which is neat because I didn’t think they’d remember me,” Kelly said. A longtime girl guide, she re- cently entered the Scouting stream to take part in the MedVent pro- gram offered by Scouts Canada and Toronto EMS. “I’ve always wanted to be a paramedic,” said Kelly, who hopes to attend Humber College next year. “Doctors have their boring and exciting points, but para- medics are always on the scene first.” The program aims at promot- ing paramedicine as a career by offering three levels of training for Venturers and Rovers aged 14 to 25.

Cadet comes to the rescue New act tests Durham trustees’patience RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Teacher appraisals could represent vast amounts of paperwork BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Public school board trustees used words like “crazy” and “ludicrous” Monday night to describe the Province’s teacher appraisal process. And a staff member said it might be impossible for adminis- trators to do all the work that’s in- volved. The Province last December passed the Quality in the Class- room Act, creating new Ontario- wide standards for the regular ap- praisal of teachers’ classroom per- formance by principals and vice- principals. Parents and senior high school students also have a chance to take part in reviews. The act requires boards to eval- uate new teachers twice in their first two years of teaching, while experienced teachers are to be ap- praised twice every third year. Each teacher is evaluated in five domains, within which there are 16 areas of competency and 163 ‘look fors’ that administrators are to take into account.

Remembrance Day events honour our fallen heroes See PICKERING page 4 See BOARD page 4 Suspect known to victims, police say BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING ––A week after a gang of armed thugs duct-taped a two-year- old child’s mouth and held his parents at gunpoint, a family acquaintance is charged in the home inva- sion heist. An arrest warrant was is- sued for the man after five bandits, all armed with guns, barged into a Field- light Boulevard home at 12:30 a.m. last Thursday. Durham Regional Police said the intruders stormed the residence after a 41- year-old man answered a knock at his door to some- one he recognized. The man was pushed down and a gun was held to his head, while his 22-year- old wife was bound with duct tape. Their young son’s mouth was taped. The attackers ransacked the house and robbed the victims of money, jewelry and credit cards. They made a getaway in separate cars, police said. The suspect, who was “known to the victims,” sur- rendered to detectives Thursday at 19 Division, said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Donovan Anthony Wil- son, 36, of Finch Avenue, has been charged with two counts each of robbery, pointing a firearm and as- sault with a weapon, three counts of forcible confine- ment and one count each of threatening death, break and enter to commit an in- dictable offence and posses- sion of a weapon. Mr. Wilson was detained pending an appearance in Oshawa bail court. The Ajax-Pickering criminal investigations bu- reau, meanwhile, is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the other four suspects. Police said they are de- scribed as male, black, 18 to 25 years, with Jamaican ac- cents. The suspect vehicles were described as possibly Honda or Acura models. One was a silver, two-door hatchback, the other a blue or black four-door. Anyone with information is asked to call 19 Division CIB at 905-683-9100, ext. 2524, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Durham Regional Police said the robber entered the Dollar Barn, at 650 Kingston Rd., at 8:15 p.m. and de- manded cash from the 34-year-old cashier. She handed over the money and the culprit fled in an unknown direction, said police, adding the heist left the victim extremely distraught but unin- jured. The suspect was described as black, 20, with short black hair, 6- feet-tall, wearing a three-quarter length green puffy jacket and black gloves. Masked bandit robs dollar store Declining support for plan among region’s municipalities predicted By Jacquie McInnes Staff Writer DURHAM —A Durham munici- pality is asking its residents to speak up against construction of a new re- gional headquarters and the city’s mayor expects taxpayers throughout the rest of the region will soon follow suit. Oshawa council has sent a bulk mailer throughout the city asking for an opinion on the proposed regional headquarters, estimated at a cost of up to $70 million. However, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson called the campaign unfair. According to the flyer, which states Oshawa council opposes the project, “A new regional headquarters will significantly increase property taxes while providing residents with no additional services or benefits.” It then lists “unanswered questions” the City is looking for answers on, in- cluding: • How is the Region proposing to pay for the new headquarters?; • What is the annual cost of the proposed debt?; • What is the net cost to taxpay- ers?; and • What services, such as roads, water and sewer will not be provided, or possibly decreased to support this added cost? The flyer asks people to respond to a phone poll to state if they are in support of or against the project. Although the letters have just begun to hit households, Mayor Nancy Diamond said already the re- sponse has been overwhelming. “We’ve been swamped with calls to my office, letters, e-mails and complaints that the ‘No’ line is so busy people can’t get through. It’s a very strong response. I haven’t heard anyone in support of it,” said Mayor Diamond, who added she believes once people throughout Durham hear about it, they’ll be asking more ques- tions too. Mr. Anderson said Oshawa is not being fair in its campaign against the new building because all the informa- tion is not yet available on what the actual cost will be for the project if it proceeds. “To say I am disappointed in Os- hawa’s actions would be appropri- ate,” the chairman said. “The process for the headquarters is not over.

We’ve been debating this for almost 15 years and the fact is the buildings w e are in are not suf- ficient. We have to look at it and see if there’s a better way of doing it.” Mayor Diamond said the questions the City is asking should have been answere d much earlier in the process. Already consultants have been hired and developers commis- sioned to create proposals on the project at a cost of more than $300,000. Before going this far down the road,the mayor said the exact costs and square footage of the building should have been firm so a prope r debate could take place. “Where we tried to seek clarification we were refused information. When the largest municipality in the region can’t get answers,what is the taxpayer to hope for?” A full report on the costs associated with the headquar- ters and how much of the cost would be offset by money cur- rently spent on leasing and maintaining other facilities is expected to come forward in January after the requests from proposals are submitted.

But in an interview she said she is concerned the targets are unreachable and will create too heavy a workload. “I don’t think we can do it with the personnel we have,” said Ms. McIlveen. She explained that in a school of 100 teachers, 40 would have to be evaluated in the first year. If 10 per cent are new teach- ers, that would mean a second assessment in the second year, creating “a double cohort of ap- praisals”, and Ms. McIlveen said the 30 per cent target in Year 2 or 3 could possibly rise to 50 or 60 per cent depending on the staff makeup. She will get a status report on the issue in February. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross said he supports teacher ap- praisals, but complained there is no money from the Province to do them. He said the amount of paper- work involved in the parent and student component alone is mind-boggling, as every year, all parents and Grade 11 and 12 students will be given the op- portunity to evaluate their teachers, creating tens of thou- sands of documents that must be sent out, collected, cata- logued and stored for six years. He also noted that the process could lead to conflicts with teacher unions, describing it as “an incubator of griev- ances.” Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine agreed. She noted that previously the board rated teachers as ‘at stan- dard’ or ‘below standard’, and at least in that framework “you knew what side of the line you were on.” The new system of four rat- ings — exemplary, good, satis- factory or unsatisfactory — leaves a lot of room for dis- putes, especially if two differ- ent administrators evaluate the same teacher and give different ratings, she added. Trustee Loraine, a parent of high school students, noted she saw 13 teachers at parent- teacher interviews, and has trouble remembering what teacher goes with what child. She suggested the parent part of the survey would not be very meaningful. “I think we should ask the government to do the first pilot to see how manageable this is,” said Trustee Loraine. “It really is ludicrous.” However not all trustees agreed. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers said the intent of the legislation is “wonderful”, and he supports the process and the appraisal time frame. Pickering teen a ‘calm, cool individual’ first aid and then progress to wilder- ness first aid, until they reach emer- gency response training. “Kelly is a very calm, cool individ- ual. She’s very good in her training,” said Jerry Crawford, group chairman of the 1st Downsview MedVent pro- gram. The teen not only mentors a dis- abled child through her work as a girl guide, but she also provides first-aid service to a number of Scout camps and events. “Kelly always shows great fortitude when it comes to dealing with sick people,” Mr. Crawford said. “She controlled the situ- ation and took care of the injured until the ambulance arrived,” he said, of the re- cent incident. “But I always had a part- ner before this,” Kelly noted. “I had to do crowd con- trol and keep everyone back and try to stay calm. I was- n’t thinking. It was just hap- pening.” BOARD from page 1 PICKERING from page 1 But impact of increases not yet known BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––When Durham resi- dents get their new property assess- ments this month, they shouldn’t jump to any conclusions of how changes in the value of their properties will affect their tax bills, says Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson. “Everyone’s property values have gone up but we won’t know the im- pact until we get the information from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and know what the average assessed increase is across the region,” says the chairman. “That www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, November 10, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P An Etobicoke Woman Says Hypnosis Is A Sure-fire Way To Lose Weight And Look Great! •Stop Smoking •Stress/Anxiety Relief •Pain Management •Learning Acceleration Hypnosis Also Achieves Permanent Results For: * Free Evaluation * Professional Facilities * Convenient Location * Flexible Hours If at your first program session you are not satisfied for any reason, we will refund 100% of your money before you leave the building.

I dropped 30 pounds in eight short months and I have kept it off for two years! I was so embarrassed about my weight. I would never wear shorts, bathing suits or even go on vacation. Finally, I was fed up and ready to take charge of my life, and that’s when I made a wonderful discovery. I’d like to share my remarkable success story with you. BY: LISA BLISS Etobicoke, Ontario DISASTROUS DIETING! Dieting was something I dreaded. I thought it was my only way out. I tried diet pills from the health food store. I tried Weight Watchers and frozen, low-calorie foods. But I never stuck to anything long enough to have results. These “quick-fix” diets were not something I could live with long term. Luckily, I learned about Positive Changes Hypnosis Centers through my friend and business partner. I thought it was a very different approach to weight loss, but it made a lot of sense. Not having to rely on my willpower appealed to me. Being a registered nurse, I knew how I should eat and that I needed to exercise. I just didn’t have the motivation to follow through. I was intrigued with the entire program and decided to sign up right away. HYPNOSIS IS DIFFERENT! Being hypnotized is so relaxing! It is certainly nothing to be afraid of. It’s similar to that moment when you are lying in front of the television feeling so relaxed that you drift off to sleep. I love my hypnotic sessions. I am so deeply relaxed that all worries, cares or concerns seem to melt away. I can tune out the world and focus on myself for awhile. And the life changes I’ve made while in that relaxed place are nothing short of miraculous! I noticed a change in my behavior my first week. I was drinking more water and didn’t want to snack between meals. During those first seven days, I easily lost 4 pounds. I dropped my entire 30 lbs. without any effort whatsoever! I WORE A SEXY BIKINI ON THE BEACH! After losing my weight I went to my brother’s wedding in Mexico. Many of my family members hadn’t seen me in a while. I spent a lot of time on the beach in a bikini. I heard wonderful compliments from family and friends. They made comments such as, “Wow, you have a great body!” It made me feel like a million dollars. I truly had a magnificent vacation! CALL IMMEDIATELY! There is no dollar amount I can put on the benefits I have gained from the Positive Changes program. How much is one’s health and happiness worth? I emphatically recommend Positive Changes to anyone who wants to lose weight! This program has been a highlight in my life. There is no way I would have the health and happiness I enjoy today had it not been for Positive Changes. (I wouldn’t be wearing bikinis either!)

The newest assessment, to be used for the 2003 tax year, will reflect the value of proper- ties as of June 30, 2001. The 2002 taxes are based on property values as of June 30, 1999. How much each owner’s property value increases in comparison to the average in- crease overall will determine if they pay more, says the chair- man. Property taxes are deter- mined by multiplying the value of the property by the regional tax rate, the municipal tax rate and the education tax rate and adding it together. Anyone who feels their assess- ment is too high should contact MPAC, the organization created by the provincial government to administer the assessments. “If you think the assessment is high, you have a right to ap- peal,” says Mr. Anderson, but he emphasizes it is of no use to call the Region or local munici- pality as they are not the bodies responsible for setting the prop- erty values. Appeals must be filed by March 31, 2003. To find out about assessment appeals, check the Assessment Review Board Web site at www.arb.gov.on.ca or call 1- 800-263-3237.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 10, 2002 The pumpkins went out with the trash this week, which means it’s now officially safe to talk about Christmas. There’s nothing better than a major holiday for human study and this is one we can all participate in. First, think of everything you’ve heard in the news lately about hydro bills, the huge hikes many home- owners are facing and lobbying ef- forts to get the Province to revisit the issue. If you need to, look at your own hydro bill. Chances are, it’s on the high side too. Now, step out onto your street or court or boulevard over the next month and count how many neigh- bours have draped their homes in Christmas lights. There probably won’t be much difference from other years. Steep increases in hydro rates are hitting seniors and other homeown- ers on fixed incomes hard. But for the rest of us, we’ll likely continue to celebrate the holiday in lights. Chalk it up to our warped sense of priorities. We love to gripe about bills and debt but we tend not to let it affect our ability to have a merry Christmas. It’s the reason many con- sumers march so readily into debt after each Dec. 25. And streams of light have be- come so much a part of our Christ- mas stream of consciousness they literally come in every shape and form today. There are organized tours of lit neighbourhoods in com- munities around Durham Region. Some of us even search them out on our own, piling into our cars to watch their magic from frosted win- dows. How many of us have awed at the sights on Old Scugog Road in Clar- ington, or taken a stroll along Vicki Drive at the height of the season? Lights are on every castle, house and shack, it seems. And there will, no doubt, still be icicle lights lining the roofs of every subdivision in Durham this season (some never came down from last year), even though it’s become chic to complain about your high hydro bill in almost every circle. But shame on all the Clark Gris- wolds out there, who light up every possible corner and angle of their home and then proceed to bad- mouth market prices for electricity afterwards. After this fall’s bill, consider yourself forewarned. LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words.

September 11, 2001; war in Afghanistan; four Canadian soldiers killed due to friendly fire; and threats of war with Iraq give this Remembrance Day special significance. In times of war or possibilities of war we always reflect on the Canadian fighting men and women and the ultimate sacri- fice they make. Recall the outbreak of patriotism surrounding the Gulf War in early 1991. It’s important to remember a significant number of Canadi- an military personnel are always involved in conflict some- where. As a permanent and valued part of the United Nations peacekeeping force, Canadians have served with distinction, most recently in the former Yugoslavia, but also in many other places. So, while we can’t forget those currently in military zones, Remembrance Day clearly brings us back to a black-and-white era, one marked by mass civilian armies, huge sacrifices and the life-changing events of the most awesome fighting the world has ever known. More than 116,000 Canadians lost their lives in 20th centu- ry conflicts, the vast majority dying in the first and second world wars. For many, the final battle took place on the beach- es or in the trenches of France. Others were shot down over Europe or died in the hills of Italy. Some were lost at sea. For every man or woman who died in battle, nearly 20 returned to lead lives in Canada, lives marred by the horrors of war they never forgot. Those who returned had a central role in building the Cana- da we have today. They became doctors, businessmen, lawyers, politicians, farmers, fishermen, and workers in our factories. The women who toiled in plants, served as nurses or as military support staff or remained home to raise families, suffered as sons, brothers, husbands and fathers did not survive or came back physically or psychologically injured. Everybody who battled in these two titanic 20th century conflicts came back to this country and helped Canada enjoy tremendous prosperity in the years following. We owe the state of our nation today to what they lost in those wars and what they gave in peace. Each Nov. 11, our veterans lead the way as we all take time to remember those who did not return. While the years roll on, the threat of war is always with us. We can’t forget those who came before us as much as we hope nobody ever has to suffer as they once did. Threat of war helps us all remember Lest we forget our Canadian troops have always been there to serve Lesley Bovie Staff Writer shouston@durhamregion.com All you Clark Griswolds may complain about higher prices, but you’ll still be out decorating Works department issues warning, tips to residents DURHAM ––The Durham Region Works De- partment would like to re- mind all motorists to drive safely this winter and watch out for black ice. In an effort to encourage road safety, the Durham Region Works Department is providing motorists with information on one of the most dangerous winter road conditions - black ice. Black ice is a thin, almost invisible coating of ice that forms quickly and unex- pectedly on surfaces when moisture in the air or on the surface freezes. It’s extremely slippery and is one of the most com- monly cited weather-relat- ed causes of drivers losing control of their vehicles, according to the health de- partment. It is most likely to form on bridges, raised roads or other road surfaces that will change tempera- ture relatively quickly, when air temperature above freezing suddenly drops to below freezing levels, at dawn, dusk, or during the night, and during periods of high humidity. Some safety tips offered by the health department are: drivers should famil- iarize themselves with the conditions under which black ice forms, and get to know what black ice looks like. Whenever possible, avoid driving under black ice conditions, watch/listen to weather reports by local media, plan your trips care- fully ahead of time, make sure your vehicle is in good working order and is filled with fuel, increase the dis- tance between your vehicle and others, slow down and be patient, and reduce your speed on curves, especially in the early morning when driving out of the sunshine into shaded sections of the road. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, November 10, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P •To order the overview of the plan and comment form, call 1 800 O-Canada (1 800 622-6232), TTY 1 800 465-7735. •Or read the overview of the plan at canada.gc.ca and submit your comments on-line.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Laura Mercer studies a map of the world, search- ing for grassland biomes. Each group in Jason Motter- shead’s Grade 7 science class at S.A. Cawker Public School in Port Perry has been assigned a different biome for a project. Laura’s job is to colour in the world’s grassland areas on a map that will be handed in with her group’s project. At her side is educational assistant (EA) Debbie Crouter. “As a group, we delegated and gave Laura what we thought she could do,” she says. Ms. Crouter helps Laura find the regions using a map in a textbook. Laura has Down’s syndrome, a hearing impairment and trouble ar- ticulating. She and Ms. Crouter are a team and have been together since Laura was a kindergarten student. They have a rapport and under- standing of one other that comes from years of experience. Under the direction of a teacher or principal, EAs work with students who may be see- ing or hearing impaired or suffer from other physical, mental or sen- sory disabilities. Their job is to offer extra support to students, enabling them to access the curriculum and succeed. Without their help, stu- dents requiring EAs would fall be- hind in a regular classroom setting. Asked what her biggest chal- lenge is in working with Laura, Ms. Crouter doesn’t hesitate to reply, “patience. When she shuts down, she shuts down; she doesn’t listen to you,” she says, adding in those in- stances she simply walks away from the situation. “That way it gives her a few moments to think about what’s happening, and usually she’ll come to me and say, ‘I’m ready to work now.’” Laura is ready to work today. Mr. Mottershead says the projects are due next science class. It’s his first experience with a Down’s syn- drome child, and so far so good. “She’s great,” he says. “She lets me know when I need (to clarify) something. “She can do all these things. There’s nothing in the class over the course of the year she doesn’t do.” With Ms. Crouter’s help, and supportive parents, Laura can ac- complish more than she could when she was younger. “When I started working with Laura, I never thought there would be the successes,” says Ms. Crouter. “The maturity and just the strengths she has as an individual, interaction with peers and watching her peers. She has learned so much from her peers.” Laura gets typed notes so she doesn’t have to worry about hand- writing skills, and when Mr. Motter- shead is directing a lesson, he wears a microphone tied in with Laura’s hearing aid system. Down the hall at S.A. Cawker is Grade 6 student Oliver Malinowski. He has cerebral palsy and a learning disability and requires a wheelchair. EA Tom Stauffer has been working with Oliver for four years. He says it’s easy. “He’s fantastic,” Mr. Stauffer says. “He wants to learn; he’s very eager. He wants to be with the other kids.” He says they’re waiting on a scanner that will help Oliv- er do more of his school- work on his own. Eventu- ally, Oliver’s entire schooling will be on the com- puter, says Mr. Stauffer. “We want to make him more independent on the com- puter, that’s the big thing,” he says. The two are working together on a reading assignment. “Right now I’m reading a story to him,” says Mr. Stauffer. “Each chapter, he has to summarize what it’s about and draw a picture of something that’s happening in the chapter. He tells me what he wants to write, I write it on a piece of paper, and he types it up.” “It’s easier to work on the com- puter than it would be for me to write on paper,” Oliver says. He smiles a bit nervously when asked if he’s looking forward to going to high school, but says with a computer to help him he will be all right. “I think that it’ll be cool; it’ll be harder,” says Oliver. Lynda Drake also works with a Down’s syndrome child, a girl in Grade 5 at St. Patrick Catholic School in Ajax. Unlike the Durham District School Board, which has a range of placement models for special-edu- cation students, including self-con- tained classrooms, the Durham Catholic District School Board has an integrated program model, where students are always with their grade-level peers. “She has a lot of the work adjust- ed to her needs; obviously she’s not functioning at the same grade level,” says Ms. Drake. For example, with the class working on mapping skills, her student created a map of her community with Ms. Drake’s help, plotting the route from her house to school. “She learned how to put a legend on a map, north, south, east, west, what a globe is and why we use a map,” says Ms. Drake. While she notes working with students who need extra help can be rough on one’s nerves at times, it also has its rewards. Those successes aren’t always measured in grades like ‘As’ and ‘Bs.’ Seeing a student interacting with other children, talking about hair and clothes and other everyday stuff, shows she isn’t apart from but a part of her peer group. S.A. Cawker principal Rob Jo- hansen says “the social issues are huge for kids” with special needs. Mr. Johansen has a stronger sen- sitivity and empathy for the needs of special education students. He has a son in the Kawartha Pine Ridge Dis- trict School Board with Down’s syndrome and a moderate cognitive delay. “I’m a strong proponent of inclu- sionary practices,” he says. “The re- search is certainly that kids perform better.” Ms. Drake notes EAs aren’t as- signed to a particular child, but to a school, and work with other EAs in the school, program support staff and teachers. In Ms. Crouter and Laura’s case, that means they may not stick to- gether when Laura moves on to high school. “I can see positive points about it and negative points,” says Ms. Crouter. “Would a change be good at that time or would the continuity be better, because she’s so used to how we work together?” “She really wants me to come; it’s a question she asks me about every day.” A special assist goes a long way Debbie Crouter, left, and Laura Mercer work together on a mapping project as part of Grade 7 science studies.

When You’re Having New Dentures Made, Go To The “Specialist” Your Denturist is a Denture Specialist who makes complete and partial dentures. He is the only professional leg- islated “Specifically to make Dentures. For “One on one” contact with the person who is actually making your denture, see your local Denturist for a consultation. Do your dentures spend more time in a glass than in your mouth? Aprominent biblical fig- ure whose patience was leg- endary, who withstood pesti- lence and calamity, was heard to say one day that the only thing that got to him was ‘sore gums’. SORE SPOTS The main reason for sore spots is ill fitting dentures - It is a combination of shrinking Gums and Denture wear. See the person who makes your dentures. NEW DENTURES You can expect some adjustment the first month after getting your dentures. It takes time to settle into place. At the first sign of discomfort, do not be alarmed. If it lasts more than three or four days, contact your denturist. UPPER DENTURES The upper Denture is the “Good Guy”. The one that gets all the smiles. The Denture that causes the least discomfort. The big plus of the upper Denture is its suction. The air caught between the palate of the denture and the roof of the mouth makes an ideal suction cup. LOWER DENTURES Lower dentures have become the “culprit” from much oral abuse. Lower den- tures are much maligned. So much so, people tend to divorce them from their part- ner, the upper denture. The lower Denture has become somewhat of a misfit, and seeks refuge in the most unlikely places. Bottom draw- ers, bottom of the bed, amongst lipsticks and combs in ladies’ handbags, lunch pails, back pockets, and if they have a caring owner, sub- merged for eternity in a den- ture bath. You see the “lot” of a lower denture leaves a “lot” to be desired. ALL IS NOT LOST You can have a “soft liner’ put in your lower den- ture. This is a “permanent” liner and will stay as long as your denture lasts. OTHER REASONS Medication can give you a “dry” mouth”. This can cause sore spots. Bone chips can appear many years after the initial insertion. As we get older, our body goes though change, tissue becomes more sensitive to pressure, which leads to sore spots. Poor oral hygiene can be the reason for Denture discomfort. Dentures must be brushed thoroughly after every meal. TO EASE DISCOMFORT Rinse your mouth with baking soda or salt. Leave the offending denture out as much as possible. You should brush your gums, palate and tongue with a soft bristle. Brush after every meal and before going to sleep. Asore mouth, if untreat- ed, could lead to complica- tions. If the problem recurs regularly, contact your local denturist. SERVICE WITH A SMILE Seeing a denturist can save you money. Denturist fees are affordable because there are no cosy mark ups or out- side delays. Make an appoint- ment for full or partial den- tures, new or replacement, refit or repairs, whatever your denture requirements see a denturist. A referral is not necessary.

Nov. 10, 6:35 pm vs Ottawa Semi-successful weekend for Pickering tweens Heartbreaking loss knocks local girls from North Bay tourney PICKERING —The Pickering tween ‘A’ team fell just short of the mark while competing at the first Agnes Jacks Invitational Ringette Tournament in North Bay last week- end. The tournament was held in hon- our of Agnes Jacks, the wife of the inventor of ringette, the late Sam Jacks. Mrs. Jacks recently received the Order of Canada and was con- gratulated by many at the tourney, in- cluding members of the Pickering team. The local tweens qualified for the semifinals against host West Ferris. In a game where Pickering was plagued by penalties, the result was a disappointing 3-2 loss. Team captain Nikki Blake and Natalie Pozzan scored for Pickering. Hard checking and tight defence by Erica Gaffney and Kristen Poirier held a high-flying West Ferris squad to three goals. The Pickering tweens opened the tournament with a 6-3 loss to West Ferris. Blake opened the scoring with an unassisted goal in the first period. Caitlin Burton scored early in the second period to tie the game at 2-2, assisted by Schancy Marescaux. Blake scored again in the second frame, assisted by Marescaux and Burton. Pickering rebounded in the second game to double the score on Tim- mins, 8-4. Blake, Marescaux and Burton scored two goals apiece, with singles to Pozzan and Stephanie Foden, her first of the season. Adding assists were Blake, Bur- ton and Marescaux each with two, Pozzan and Jessie Kay. Crissy Bergman was rock solid between the pipes. In Game 3, Pickering tied Goul- bourn 6-6. The tweens had their hands full containing a determined opponent. The defence chipped in with three goals, including a pair from Megan Hutton, assisted by Foden and Kay, and a single from Kay, assisted by Burton. In one of the prettiest goals of the tournament, Burton made a steal, passed to Marescaux who then deliv- ered the ring to Blake for the goal. Marescaux and Pozzan also scored. An excellent effort by forward Caro- line Zareba helped earn a tie and send Pickering to the semifinals. Stephen Kay,Al Hutton and Shan- non Kay coach the team. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photos Kevin Brown, left, and Matt Firth have caught on with the Ontario Blue Jays’elite baseball program this year. Kevin’s a catcher with the under-18s and Matt’s a pitcher on the under-17 squad. Local teens soar with Blue Jays Players settling nicely into elite provincial baseball nest BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —Taking their dia- mond skills to the next level while playing many of the best young baseball teams in North America has been a grand slam hit with two Ajax teens. Kevin Brown, 18, and Matt Firth, 16, are honing their skills on diamonds across North Amer- ica with the Ontario Blue Jays’ elite baseball teams — Brown with the under-18s and Firth with the under-17s. Brown just completed a full season behind the plate as a catcher with the Jays’, while right-handed pitcher Matt Firth, 16, is set to enter a full season in the spring. He was originally slated to play for the under-16 elite team, but after that club folded, he was offered a chance to move up and immediately took it. “The coach of the under-17 team saw me pitch and called me up for a game,” said Firth, who throws an 83-m.p.h. fastball, along with a curve and change- up. “He said he liked how I pitched and I was mature enough for the team.” The Blue Jays attract players from across Ontario, playing a schedule against elite squads, while also attending numerous American showcase tournaments throughout the summer and fall. It’s all in an effort to raise the players’ profile to Major League Baseball and U.S. college scouts searching for diamond gems. Over the years, major league teams have drafted numerous Ontario Blue Jays players. Entering training camp at an indoor facility in Thornhill last March, Brown started as one of five catchers with the club and emerged as the everyday catcher. Last weekend, the club trav- elled to Jupiter, Florida for the annual Perfect Game World Wood Bat Association Under- classmen World Series, which brought together 72 teams, most- ly from the U.S. There, the On- tario squad placed a respectable 16th with a 4-3 record. The Blue Jays qualified for the quarter-finals where they dropped a 7-5 decision to Puerto Rico. “It was the best competition in our age group for the year,” noted Brown. Brown makes no bones about the coming season: It’s pivotal to keeping his hopes of a baseball scholarship in the U.S. alive. “This is pretty much the end of it,” said Brown, who played his club baseball with the Ajax Spartans Minor Baseball Associ- ation, also playing on the midget rep team last season. “If I don’t get picked up, that’s it. I can go to a Canadian school and play baseball, though. “I’m confident that I can play well every day, but there is added pressure being that it could be the end of highly competitive baseball for me.” Brown noted at least one U.S. school has shown interest. He’s unsure how many more there may be because most inquiries go through the Blue Jays’ man- ager. But, he’s grateful to have the chance to showcase his skills with the Blue Jays. “It’s been very worthwhile. I’m getting exposure to all the schools and I’m hoping to get a scholarship. It’s been very help- ful.” Brown noted the club heads to Florida in March for spring training. The season begins anew in late April. Meanwhile, Firth said the ex- perience of playing on the On- tario Blue Jays against older, more experienced competition has been nothing but positive. “It’s better ball and I’m pitch- ing against better batters. It feels like I’m playing in the bigs right now. Whenever the ball’s hit, there’s somebody there who’s going to make the play,” he said. The 5-foot-11, 155-pounder played in two tournaments with the Blue Jays under-17s to finish out the 2002 season after catch- ing on with the team in Septem- ber at a training camp in Vaugh- an. When not suiting up with the Blue Jays, Firth played with the midget ‘B’ team last season, al- though a shoulder injury kept him out for part of the campaign. He was also a member of the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars ball team, help- ing the upstart club capture the Durham title and advance to the Prentice Cup regional play- downs. The Grade 11 student noted his end goal with the Blue Jays is to earn a baseball scholarship in the U.S. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, November 10, 2002 PAGE 15 P Sunday Nov. 17, 2002, 10 am to 4:30 pm, Holiday Inn, 1011 Bloor St., E - Oshawa www.caa.ca www.superclubs.com www.superclubscuba.net www.durhamregion.com * * Some Restrictions Apply Approxiamate Value $5,000 ® CAA-CAA emblem registered trademarks owned by, and use is granted by the Canadian Automobile Association. ® Travel with Someone You Trust registered trademarks owned by and use is granted by the American Automobile Association.

PICKERING — After opening the season with back-to-back wins, the Pickering minor midget select hockey team has hit a dry spell, win- ning just one of its past four games. Against rival Ajax Knights, the Panthers were on the receiving end of 6-2 and 2-1 losses. Joey Paul, Kyle Fredericks and Kyle Walker scored for Pickering. Adding assists were Daniel Thrift and Paul. Antho- ny DelleDonne and Chris Skeates shared the goaltending duties. The East Gwillimbury Eagles soared to a 7-2 victory after Picker- ing jumped out to a quick two-goal lead, on goals by Thrift and Derek Savoie, assisted by Michael Laffer- ton, Fredericks and Paul. The lone win for the midgets came courtesy of the Vaughan Rangers, 4-2. Thrift and Paul netted two goals apiece. Derek West- lake and Fredericks chipped in with two assists apiece, Brendon Watts and Jordan Cash had one each. DelleDonne notched his second win.

Personally, I am very tired of the constant hype that the economy is booming. In the U.S. they’re at least being honest with the public, and taking any steps needed to try and improve it (last week a 1/2% drop in prime). Read the financial papers any day of the week, and you will see that the vast majority of companies are showing huge losses, and the number of companies that are cutting staff is frightening. The Government is really not to blame, as they are keeping the prime rate stable. Although there is room to drop it back to where it was six months ago, we are only talking a 1/4%. The talk of bank mergers is now back in play. Fight this with all the gusto you can muster, In Canada we already have a monopoly in the financial market. If these mergers are allowed to happen, the results to the Canadian pub- lic will be catastrophic. There will be no competition left (there is almost none now). Remember, competition will keep borrowing rates down. Consolidate Now A good consolidation can save hundreds of dollars a month in payments. This can do two things. First, keeping your all important credit rating A-1. Secondly, allowing you to live without worrying every day, as to how you will pay everyone each month. Why Central Funding Group?

We remember for the future In their memory Leaving their friends and families behind, they traveled far from home to defend the concepts of peace and justice. They were killed on the battlef ield, or returned home with their bodies and spirits injured forever. More than 1,500,000 Canadians— our brothers, sons and fathers—sacrificed a huge part of their lives to serve in various conflicts overseas. It is in their honour that Canada observes Remembrance Day on November 11 each year. Anyone who has ever lived through war can easily understand the importance of honouring such an important day. But many younger people wonder why we focus on such a sad period of history. Why should we continue to think about wars that took place long ago? Why honour men and women who are nothing more than faceless ghosts? On November 11, grandparents will sit down with their grandchildren, teachers will ask students to open their history books, and war veterans will emerge from the shadows. They will all take the time to educate our younger generation about the horrors of the various wars Canadians have fought in. They will give faces and names to those who bravely sacrificed their lives—as well as to those who cur rently risk their lives in various peace missions around the world—so that we will never forget. Remembering our history is a way of helping our youth understand the present and make better decisions for the future. By knowing their history, future generations will understand their responsibilities and be encouraged to work toward a just world. It will also help them better appreciate the value of life and be grateful for the fact that we live in a peaceful nation. By remembering history, we honour the past as we build our future.

PICKERING - Pay tribute to Canada’s service men and women this weekend. Remembrance Day ceremonies begin in Pickering Sunday, Nov 10 with a parade and service at the city cenotaph. Eric Lightowler, sergeant-at-arms for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606, will marshal the parade, which begins at 10:40 a.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. 1867 Valley Farm Road. The procession will march down Diefenbaker Court to the Esplanade, to form at the cenotaph behind city hall.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, Armistice was signed, bringing the First World War to an end. While few of us were around at that time, many Canadians have witnessed and participated in numerous efforts to pursue world peace in the many wars that have followed. Whether it was during the Second World War, the Korean War, or the many U.N. peace missions that have taken place, thousands of Canadians have bravely given their lives for their country. November 11 is Remembrance Day, a special occasion to honour their courage and to thank them for the sacrifices they have made in the name of peace and freedom. It is important that we preserve the memory of these events as a nation; it is equally important that we honour them individually. Some people will honour Remembrance Day by visiting the grave sites of loved ones who lost their lives in war, or to visit one of the commemorative memorials that have been erected in more than 2,000 towns and villages across the country. Others will observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who are missing or to reflect upon world peace. Still others will participate in the many activities planned by groups such as the Canadian Royal Legion. One of the main roles of this organization is to maintain the tradition of Remembrance Day. Wearing a poppy on November 11 is another way to demonstrate your support of war veterans and their families. Regardless of how you decide to honour Remembrance Day, take a moment this November 11 to think about those around the world who live, or have lived through the horrors of war. Take advantage of this day to help bring peace and freedom to the world. Wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day is a gesture that demonstrates our support of those who have lived through war. “Lest We Forget” 1600 Bayly St., Pickering 420-1906 FAST SERVICE Max 10 min.
