Workers question
their safety
after smoking
bylaw relaxed
for seniors homes
By Carly Foster
Staff Writer
DURHAM – Some workers are
concerned for their safety and
rights after the Region said it
will not enforce its strict smok-
ing bylaw in privately run long-
term care facilities.
“I love my job and the seniors
I care for (and) I do not want to
see them lose what little they
have left by taking away their
right to smoke, but I love my
family more,” said Janet
Holtrust, a personal support
worker at Versa-Care Centre in
Uxbridge.
“I refuse to put my health at
risk any further to collect a pay-
cheque.”
Some employers have said
staff have to go into designated
smoking rooms (DSRs) to su-
pervise residents, said Don Bur-
shaw, a senior representative for
the eastern region of the Service
Employees International Union
(SEIU) Local 1, which repre-
sents unionized employees at
long-term care facilities across
Durham.
“They’ve (the employer) said
it’s part of (worker’s) jobs, that
it’s part of nursing care,” he
said. “Our staff are doing what
we consider to be a health haz-
ard.”
Staff are required to monitor
residents who smoke, and to
light their cigarettes, said Mary
Nestor, director of communica-
tions and policy development
for Central Park Lodges, which
owns six sites in Durham and
others across Canada and the
U.S. But employees must volun-
teer.
“We have a very clear policy,
that indeed, if residents are
smoking, they must be super-
vised,” said Ms. Nestor. “A staff

A very happy birthday
Group of 30
celebrates Canada
Day by taking the
oath of citizenship
By Jeff Hayward
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX – It was a day to remember
for local residents from around
the globe who were sworn in as
Canadian citizens on the coun-
try’s 137th birthday.
Citizenship Judge Peter Vec-
chiarelli, surrounded by a group
of local dignitaries and other
guests, led a special Canada Day
ceremony in Ajax council cham-
bers July 1, welcoming a diverse
audience of about 30 people tak-
ing the oath of citizenship. The
group included new Canadians
from Guyana, Mexico, Dominica,
Scotland, Ireland, Ukraine, Ja-
maica, Bangladesh, Philippines,
England, and Wales.
Dmitry and Irina Mercoushev
of Ajax came to Canada from the
Ukraine about five years ago.
They said Canada didn’t feel like
home right away.
“Cultural differences were the
biggest challenge,” said Mr. Mer-
coushev. “The people were nice...
but overall it took time to adjust.”
They didn’t come here to meet
up with family, rather, they want-
ed to experience something dif-
ferent.
“We were looking for chal-
lenges,” he said. “Looking for a
new life, a new start.”
They are happy with their time
in Canada, and now as new citi-
zens.
“It feels great to be here,” said
Mrs. Mercoushev.
The ceremony was hosted by
the Community Development
Council Durham, in partnership
with the Town of Ajax, and Judge

Do you sometimes wish you could send your
kid to another planet?
Why not send them to one where they can
have fun and exercise their body and mind?
Now in its third year, Planet Gymnastics is a
recreational facility that offers gymnastic
classes where kids can have fun, get active
and work out their minds.
“Gymnastics is an excellent sport for
developing your child’s success in other
sports and activities,” says Shawn Campbell,
Planet Gymnastics co-owner and coach. “It
also helps with future ambitions.”
Planet Gymnastics offers a variety of
classes, seven days a week, with something
for kids as young as 18 months and
programs for teens as old as 15. The Parent
and Tot program, for example, is for kids
between the ages of 18 months to three
years and is a great opportunity for you to
have fun and engage in playtime with your
child in a unique environment. This class is
a great way to improve your child’s physical
ability as well as their social skills.
A unique feature about Planet Gymnastics is
its equipment. Their centre attraction is a
three-storey play centre, with a separate ball
pit and specialty training equipment for
toddlers. They also have a 40-foot tumbling
trampoline, plus equipment that is made
especially for kids as well as all the
traditional gymnastics equipment such as
uneven bars, rings, single bars and balance
beams.
Classes run throughout the year, including a
summer camp, with a special gold medal
presentation held each June. The year is
also commemorated with class photos.
Not only is Planet Gymnastics a great place
where kids can enjoy recreational
gymnastics, it’s also a great setting for
birthday parties. In fact, birthday parties are
one of their specialties.
“Birthday parties have become very
popular,” says Mr. Campbell. “Often they are
booked at least three months in advance.”
The birthday party gets the entire gym to
themselves, with access to the play centre,
and participates in a variety of warm-ups and
games that are directed by a coach. After a
fun-filled activity session, the guests retire to
the private party room, which is stocked with
all the necessities for chowing down (i.e.
dishes, cutlery etc.). There are a variety of
birthday packages to choose from.
To learn more about Planet Gymnastics visit

City man charged with sexual assault
Tw o girls tell police
they were touched
PICKERING –Charges have been laid
against a Pickering man after two
young girls told investigators they
were inappropriately touched.
An investigation began Saturday,
June 26, when a 9-year-old girl said
she had been touched by a man
while visiting a friend, Durham Re-
gional Police said. Police followed
up with an interview of an 8-year-
old girl who said she, too, had been
assaulted.
Both girls said they had been
touched by a visitor to the home,
police said.
On Thursday, a man turned him-
self in to Durham Regional Police
officers.
Francis Edward French, 35, of
Pickering has been charged with in-
vitation to sexual touching and two
counts each of sexual assault and
sexual interference.
Police looking for stabbing witnesses
PICKERING –Crime Stoppers is ask-
ing for the public’s assistance to solve
a stabbing that took place last
month.
Police report on June 17 around
10 :45 a.m., the victim was walking
through the parking lot of the Shell
gas station at Kingston Road and
Whites Road, when an unknown male
approached him from behind.
The suspect demanded the victim’s
backpack, slashed at the victim’s
neck and stabbed the victim in the
back using a six-inch knife.
When the victim refused to give up
his property, police report the sus-
pect fled the scene. He was last seen
heading eastbound on foot toward
the 7-Eleven store and then went
westbound on Kingston Road riding
a bicycle covered in a yellow sheet.
The suspect is described as a light
brown-skinned male, 5-feet-10, be-
tween 17-22 years of age, and had slim
arms and legs. He was wearing white
shorts, a white sports jersey and a
red bandana over part of his face.
Anyone with information is asked
to call Crime Stoppers at 905-436-
8477 or 1-800-222-TIPS.
Teens can get a
chance to evaluate a
career in health care
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
DURHAM – Local students can get a
jump on a health-care career or see if
it’s for them this fall.
The Durham District School Board
is offering a new program at Dr. F.J.
Donevan Collegiate Institute in Os-
hawa, a regional program open to
any student in Durham who qualifies.
Health Education Alternative
Learning Model (HEAL) is an intro-
duction to health care, a course cre-
ated and taught by Marie Rayner
from Durham Continuing Education.
“My background is I’m a registered
nurse,” she explains in an interview.
“I went into teaching a couple of
years ago and I have a passion to
spread health care (learning) in
Durham.”
The one-semester, four-credit
course, intended for Grade 11, 12 and
even fifth-year returnees, offers stu-
dents an opportunity to learn about
health care and medical technologies
both in a classroom and a placement
setting. The curriculum covers med-
ical practices and terminology, inter-
personal and teamwork skills, cur-
rent health care trends, career oppor-
tunities and more.
“They’ll have that knowledge be-
fore they go out on a placement,”
says Ms. Rayner.
She says the course is perfect for
“someone who has an interest in
health care and sees their future in
health care.”
She also notes students keen on
becoming paramedics or nurses, for
example, are good candidates. HEAL
would give students a head start on
college or university studies, says Ms.
Rayner.
The placement opportunities in-
clude group homes and dental of-
fices, and Ms. Rayner is exploring
other options. She will try and match
a placement with a student’s inter-
ests.
The course begins at Donevan this
September, and will also be offered
there in second semester, with a max-
imum of 22 students per semester ac-
cepted. Students aged 17-20 with a se-
nior math and science credit are eli-
gible to apply. HEAL is open to Clar-
ington students as well, but students
there and elsewhere in the region
have to get to the school on their own,
as no busing is provided.
Ms. Rayner says application forms
are at Donevan’s guidance depart-
ment and those interested can con-
tact the school and request one. The
school number is 905-728-7315.

Ve cchiarelli touched on the
challenges the new residents
faced.
“Most of you came here look-
ing for a better life,” said Judge
Ve cchiarelli. “Coming to a new
and unfamiliar country can be
stressful... most of you came
from countries that are very
different from this one, you’ve
had to adjust to a new climate,
a new culture, and a new way of
doing things.
“Canada is a multicultural
country that is made up of
many different people... each
person is a piece of cloth that
makes a quilt called Canada.”
Judge Vecchiarelli stressed
Canada’s citizens must work
together, expressing opinions
freely, but respecting the rights
of others.
“Our heritage helps define us
as people,” he explained. “It
tells us who we are, where we
came from, and what influ-
ences shape our nation.”
A commemorative coin was
given to the new citizens during
the ceremony. The quarter was
issued only that day to recog-
nize Canada Day, and those on
hand were among the first to
receive it. A small pine tree was
given to each as well.
“Let it grow as you grow as
citizens,” said Judge Vec-
chiarelli.
It was Canada Day in Kinsmen Park Thursday, with plenty to do for the
whole family. Left, Chris Blaney delivers for the Pickering mayor’s team

Oxford Learning Centres
When Labour-Day rolls
around each year, students file
back into their schools - ready
for a new school year. Or are
they?
A teacher friend of mine
tells me that, “It isn’t until
mid October that most kids
are back to speed. “This
means that from July 1
through Thanksgiving many
students are not focused or at
their best. It may even be
worst than that. Think about
your child’s learning experi-
ences in June each year. Tests,
exams, field trips and other
events consume most of that
month’s schedule adding
another month to the let-down
period. Considering that the
average school year includes
only 195 days of instruction,
we soon see why many
schools struggle to meet the
educational expectation of
parents and society.
We know that kids who are
focused and ready in
September, will learn, inte-
g rate and understand new
material right away.
How can you help your
kids stay sharp over the sum-
mer holiday so there will be
no let-down in the fall? Here
are a few suggestions:
•Reading: Make sure that
your children read during the
summer. Even if they have a
busy social life and a part or
full time job, make sure that
take time each day to read.
•Studying: Set up brief
study periods at least every
other day. Times when your
child can review the worst or
hardest subjects, read ahead
into next year’s material and
organize for next year.
• Writing: Buy interesting
journals and help them get
started. Write each day - feel-
ings, weather, what they did.
Anything is fine. Encourage
internet communication with
a select group of friends using
something like ICQ or
Messenger. The more they
write, the more they focus.
• However, possibly the
best way to help students stay
sharp is through a good sum-
mer program such as those at
Oxford Learning Centres to
help keep those thinking,
reading, writing, math and
study skills sharp and ready
for September.
It’s not so much the memo-
rized material that students
forget over the summer, it’s
learning how to learn that gets
forgotten each summer.
That’s because it is seldom
taught independent of school
subjects. Students who devel-
op good learning and thinking
skills will be ready for success
in September. Attending a
study session over the sum-
mer at Oxford is the best way
I know of overcoming the
summer let-down.
Call Oxford today at (905)
420-3141 for your free guide
to summer learning activities
called “Feeding Active
Minds” or to find out how
they can help your children
get caught up or reach ahead
this summer. Oxford
Learning is Canada’s leading
provider of supplemental and
enrichment education servic-
es. They will design an indi-
vidualized learning program
for your children to keep them
sharp over the summer and
get a head start on next year.
Help your children enjoy
learning this summer and
return to school in September
ready to learn with improved
skills and greater confidence.

Stay smart this summer
Learning really can be a happy thing when students know how to learn.

be around smoke... are never
forced” to do that.
While it doesn’t have a specific
policy regarding monitoring res-
idents in smoking rooms, the
Province does say facilities are
“responsible and accountable
for ensuring residents are safe at
all times,” said Tanya Cholakov,
a spokeswoman for the Ministry
of Health and Long-Term Care.
Employee rights versus resi-
dent rights is just the scenario
that regional councillors debat-
ed recently when they decided
to not enforce the regional
smoking bylaw in privately-run
nursing homes.
The bylaw says that smoking
is banned in all public and work-
places. But after receiving a
legal challenge by an Oshawa
long-term care facility, the Re-
g ion decided to enforce the
more lenient provincial Tobacco
Control Act (TCA), which allows
DSRs.
The TCA will be used until the
Province brings in a province-
wide smoking ban, said Andy Al-
lison, a lawyer for the Region.
The Province is working on
smoke-free legislation that will
come into effect within three
years, said Ms. Cholakov.
The Region’s decision, be-
cause it was part of in-camera
legal proceedings, is considered
an “administrative change” and
not subject to official bylaw
amendment procedures like a
public meeting, Mr. Allison said.
And that’s not right, said
Charlie Renaud, a business
agent for the SEIU. He plans on
appearing before regional coun-
cil on Wednesday, July 7 to ex-
press his concerns and find out
why employees never had a
chance to speak before the deci-
sion was made.
Helen Northcott was thrilled
when she heard nursing homes
in the Region would finally be
smoke free. Now she’s disap-
pointed.
“It’s sad that the Region just
kind of caved into the demands
of this one nursing home,” said
the Oshawa resident, an on-call
personal support worker for a
private health company that
services facilities across
Durham.
“If an employer is endangering
a person by asking them to go
into that environment, I think
it’s ludicrous.”
Ms. Northcott said residents
often have to be wheeled into
smoking rooms, and many have
to wear fire-proof aprons to pre-
vent them from lighting them-
selves on fire.
Ms. Holtrust is especially con-
cerned about other residents at
Versa-Care Uxbridge, as the
smoking room there is not prop-
erly ventilated and not up to
TCA standards.
“We have several people in our
home on oxygen, and the smoke
just goes all the way down the
hallway,” she said. “If CPL wants
to offer this service...they have
to make sure there’s a properly
ventilated room and they will
not discipline staff” who do not
want to go in.
Up g rades are planned on the
room, said Ms. Nestor. She said
the room does meet safety and
fire code regulations.
A recent court case in Owen
Sound found that a privately
run nursing home is considered
a residence rather than a work-
place, meaning residents can
smoke in a designated room.
Ms. Holtrust is worried about
the precedent this case and the
one by the Oshawa facility are
setting.
She also feels having to sit and
watch residents smoke takes
away from other duties like help-
ing residents eat or go to the
washroom.
Ms. Nestor said monitoring is
“built into job routines” so other
staff can cover off the rest of
care.
Meanwhile, the Region will de-
cide whether to amend the
smoking bylaw to allow DSRs in
two Region-run and operated fa-
cilities at its next council meet-
ing July 7.

A healthy
career idea
for students
Board has a winner in program
introducing kids to health care
The Durham Board of Education may have found a way to
help with the health-care crisis.
The school board is encouraging students to get a jump-
start on a health-care career with its innovative Health Educa-
tion Alternative Learning Model (HEAL) to any student in
Durham Region.
The course is a one semester, four-credit course, for students
in Grade 11-12 and fifth year returnees that will offer students
the opportunity to learn about health care and medical tech-
nologies both in the classroom and a placement setting. The
curriculum covers medical practices and terminology, interper-
sonal and teamwork skills, current health-care trends and ca-
reer opportunities and other categories. HEAL is being offered
at Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute beginning in September
in Oshawa and is open to students from the Durham board who
qualify. Application forms are available from the school. Only 22
students will be admitted each semester and the placements
will include such facilities as group homes and dental offices.
This course, which could be the answer to the health-care
woes in Durham, is the brainchild of Marie Rayner of Durham
Continuing Education. Ms. Rayner had a background as a reg-
istered nurse before going into teaching a few years ago. It's her
connection and passion for nursing and health care that
prompted her to create this program.
She is confident this course will provide students with the
knowledge base they need as they head off to post-secondary
institutions. This course is perfect for "someone with an interest
in health care and sees their future in health care," she says.
The registered nurse says students interested in becoming
paramedics and nurses will be good candidates for the course.
It's these types of innovative programs Durham requires to
solve its doctor shortages and other 'human resource problems'
in the region. Brian Lemon, Lakeridge Health Corporation
chief executive officer, says this issue will create large holes in
the health-care profession when aging doctors and nurses
begin to consider retirement in the next 10 years or so, particu-
larly in rural areas.
These efforts will go a long way toward Durham solving its
health-care problems. And these measures, although not huge
now, could pay off extensive dividends down the road.
Electorate misses
boat once again
To the editor:
The results of Monday's federal elec-
tion were, certainly to me, based on two
vital factors: fear-mongering by the Lib-
eral spin doctors and voter apathy.
The electorate does not, and has
never had to, fear the new Conservative
Party of Canada. Undoubtedly it is sim-
ply too early for the electorate to differ-
entiate what that party presented as
policy and what Paul Martin dictated
that policy to be.
Look at any of the federal depart-
ments and their successes and/or fail-
ures over the past many years including
Finance where the massive debt was
initially started by former prime minis-
ter Pierre Trudeau. Look honestly at
other departments, including Health,
Justice (Criminal and Social), defence,
Aboriginal rights, child poverty, home-
lessness, etc.
No, we do not have to fear the new
Conservative Party. But now we may
have to fear the dissolution of Canada.
Both Quebec and Alberta have been
disenfranchised from the rest of the na-
tion by Liberal decisions. Similar senti-
ment is undoubtedly felt in British Co-
lumbia.
How much longer will these Provinces
put up with the continued voting pat-
terns of Ontario?
The road ahead is certainly becoming
rockier by the moment. Will the Rockies
and la Belle Province decide our fate in
the future?

No sympathy for
the non-voter
It's as certain as bad traffic
when you're already late and
broken election promises from
a newly-elected politician: Voter
apathy.
In what some people saw as the
most important election in
decades, people stayed away from
the ballot box like it was contami-
nated with severe acute respirato-
ry syndrome (SARS). We're a little
higher than the national average,
here in Ajax and Pickering, but not
by much. Nationally voter turnout
continued a downward trend over
every election in recent memory,
coming in at 60.5 per cent.
I had no idea who I was about to
vote for until I was behind the
booth this time. I was almost par-
alyzed by the options going in.
Each party had positives and neg-
atives and it was hard to pick be-
tween their similar platforms.
In a way, it would have been nice
to see the Liberals go down based
solely on the negative ads they ran
smearing the opposition. It back-
fired on Ernie Eves and if it had
cost the federal Liberals this time,
you would have seen a very differ-
ent campaign style in future.
We had a call at the office this
week from a gentleman telling us
our recent editorial was wrong in
suggesting you exercise your right
to vote by spoiling your ballot if
you don't want to vote for any can-
didates. He said the better option
is to decline the vote.
When I voted, I asked if I could
decline the vote, but it's not an op-
tion in a federal election, I was
told. The polling station staff were
taken aback by the question, so it
was clear they hadn't had that
question before. Still, I wasn't
angry enough to spoil my ballot.
It made an impression on them
because after a discussion about
it, they said they'd be looking for a
ballot marked 'none of the above'
and they'd know who had cast that
one.
Personally, I have a lot more re-
spect for someone who pays atten-
tion to the process and doesn't
want to vote because the choices
are all awful, rather than the eligi-
ble voter who just doesn't make
the time and effort to vote. From
me to you, you're a dope if you're
just too lazy to vote.
As for the people who did drag
their butts into a voting booth last
Monday: kudos to you my friends.

The skin is the body’s largest organ. It is continually
regenerating itself, forming new cells as old cells die
and are shed. The skin is also a host to many
organisms such as bacteria, viruses, mites and other
parasites. These organisms live with us in a symbiotic
state. It is only when a normal balance is disturbed
that skin diseases present themselves.
Acne and acne rosacea are two conditions that can
crop up at any time and affect the appearance of the
skin. Red, rough or lumpy skin are usual presentations
of rosacea. Hair loss is also a symptom. For fair
skinned individuals, rosacea is more easily seen.
Research has been ongoing in all parts of the world
to combat rosacea infection. Many people find relief
but others seem to be resistant to these treatments.
In China, research has concentrated on a parasite
called human demodex folliculorum mite. This
microscopic worm infects over 98 per cent of adults,
living in hair follicles or on hair or eyelashes. They also
may reside in sebaceous glands of the face.
A line of products has been formulated to address
infestation by demodex. It is called Face Doctor. It is
available in soap, cream and shampoo products. Face
Doctor products use herbal ingredients to fight the
parasite. The main ingredient is seabuckthorn oil.
Several other ingredients, such as Vitamin E and aloe
vera are added to soothe and protect the skin.
Seabuckthorn Oil - Seabuckthorn is an extraordinary
plant that has been recognized for centuries in Eurasia
for its exceptional medicinal and nutritional benefits.
The oil of seabuckthorn has general nourishing,
revitalizing, and restorative action and can be used for
acne, dermatitis, irritated, dry, itching skin, sore skin,
eczema, skin ulcers, postpartum pigmentation, burns,
scalds, cuts, and tissue regeneration. The stimulation
of tissue regeneration is helpful in the treatment of
burns, bedsores, poorly healing wounds. It helps
reduce damaging effects of sun radiation.
Seabuckthorn oil effectively combats wrinkles, dryness
and other symptoms of malnourished or prematurely
aging skin and is utilized in anti-
aging skin creams and lotions.
The berries appear to be an
unsurpassed natural source of
vitamins A and E, carotenes and
flavonoids. Seabuckthorn berries
are second only to Rose hips and
Acerola in vitamin C content. They
are also rich in several other
vitamins, including B1, B2, K and
P as well as in more than two
dozens of microelements.
Furthermore, berries have

How to set Your asking Price When
Selling Your Home
This report is courtesy of BRIAN KONDO, Re/Max Quality One Ltd. Not intended to solicit properties c urrently listed for sale.
DURHAM REGION - When you sell your home,
setting your asking price is one of the most
important decisions you will ever make.
Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your
home, price is often the first thing he or she sees,
and many homes are discarded by prospective
buyers as not being in the appropriate price range
before they’ve even given a chance of showing.
You r asking price is often your home’s “first
impression”, and if you want to realize the most
money you can for your home, it’s imperative that
you make a good first impression.
This is not as easy as it sounds, and price
strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high
can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low.
Taking a look at what homes in your
neighbourhood have sold for is only a small part of
the process, and on it’s own is not nearly enough to
help you make the best decision.
A recent study, which compiles 10 years of
industry research, has resulted in a new special
report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You
Want (and Need)”. This report will help you
understand pricing strategy from three different
angles. When taken together, this information will
help you price your home to not only sell, but sell
for the price you want.

how to order your copy of this FREE report,

Over 98% of
adults are infect-
ed with a parasite
that causes ugly skin. A team of doctors
in China isolated a small unseen parasite
called human demodex that can cause
people’s complexion to become rough,
lumpy and reddish, as well as hair loss,
premature aging of the skin, enlarged
pores and acne.
After over 30 years of research on
over 900,000 patients worldwide, this
team of doctors discovered that the use
of seabuckthorn when combined with
other ingredients and applied external-
ly to the affected areas can kill the
human demodex parasite and restore
the skin to it’s natural beauty.

Nursing class of 1954
enjoys reunion
in Uxbridge
By Crystal Crimi
Staff Writer
DURHAM – Sunbathing naked on
the roof, stuffing beds and sneak-
ing out – there was no shortage of
good times for the Oshawa Gen-
eral Hospital’s graduating nurs-
ing class of 1954.
Of the 29 women who graduat-
ed that year, 21 made it to
Uxbridge recently for anniver-
sary celebrations held at class-
mate Grace D’Andrade’s house.
Under a white tent offering shade
on the bright June day, there was
lots of laughter over the very dif-
ferent times and experiences had
by the 1950s nursing students.
“We did get into trouble a lot,”
recalled Margaret Knight, who
introduced Mrs. D’Andrade,
(then Ms. Leadlay) to her hus-
band Maurice D’Andrade.
“One teacher said we were bad
influences on each other,”
laughed Mrs. D’Andrade.
Ms. Knight recalled a scary ex-
perience while sneaking inside
the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital
after a late night out. Ms. Knight
followed Mrs. D’Andrade in
through a basement window.
Mrs. D’Andrade, who was wear-
ing a white dickey around the top
of her dress, turned back for Ms.
Knight, who mistook her for a
patient and went running back
toward the window.
Along with the Oshawa hospi-
tal, the women from across
Durham Region had to work
three months at Sick Kids and
three at Whitby as part of their
education.
“What I remember about Whit-
by is she (Ms. Knight) was al-
ways getting our class into trou-
ble because she slept in and we
had prayers,” said Mrs. D’An-
drade. To teach her to wake up
on time, Ms. Knight’s classmates
scooped her out of bed and
dropped her into a bathtub of
cold water while she was still
sleeping.
“I just sat there unable to
speak,” said Ms. Knight. Nor did
she speak to Mrs. D’Andrade for
some time, either.
Stories about hitchhiking
home to Uxbridge, where both
were from, and tales of class-
mates who used to sunbathe on
the roof - one would do so naked
- were just a few of the laughs the
two shared at the reunion.
“We had a lot of fun in resi-
dence, we were a tightknit
bunch,” said Phyllis Burton, pre-
viously Phyllis Crawforth. “I
think the nurses today have
missed out on that, living in resi-
dences.”
Although the girls managed to
sneak in a lot of fun, there was
also a lot of work involved with
becoming a nurse in the 1950s.
During their training they had to
work 12 hours a day in the hospi-
tal.
There was a nightly curfew and
they had to sign out and leave
their home phone number or the
number of the friend they were
staying with when they went out
overnight. A housemother would
check in on them to make sure
they were in bed and those who
snuck out stuffed their beds to
make it look as though they were
in them.
“It was very strict, you’d think
They made memories together

Annand has been
delivering Durham
kids for 37 years
By Crystal Crimi
Staff Writer
DURHAM – For 37 years, Stewart
Annand has begun each weekday
morning walking to a parked
school bus beside his home and
getting it ready to take Uxbridge
kids safely to their studies. But as
the 2004 school year winds down,
so do his last days as a bus driver.
At 71, Mr. Annand has decided
it’s time to part with the big or-
angey yellow school bus, which
has brought him much pride and
memories over the years, and re-
tire from the job he took in 1967.
“I’ve driven approximately
16 ,000 trips,” he says. “Over the
years, I’ve stopped about a mil-
lion cars, maybe more.”
Walking through the grass to
the full-length bus sitting in its
own separate driveway, Mr. An-
nand explains this vehicle is new,
a perk which comes with being a
senior driver. He opens its door,
climbs the stairs, and then takes
a quick look down the narrow
aisle lined with grey seats.
“It’s lost the new bus smell, es-
pecially when you have three kids
sick in one week,” he jokes, then
takes a seat directly behind the
driver’s chair he sits in each
morning.
Mr. Annand began driving a
school bus when Scott Township,
now part of Uxbridge, closed all
of its small schools to open Scott
Central Public School in Sand-
ford. Kids couldn’t walk down the
road to school anymore.
Francis Hockley, along with his
brother and cousin, started Scott
Bus Lands to accommodate the
new need.
“He came to my place and
wanted to know if I’d drive a bus,”
says Mr. Annand, who was a
dairy farmer at the time. “I said
I’d try it for a while. A while
turned out to be 37 years.
“I remember it started on a
Tuesday and by Thursday I won-
dered what I’d gotten into,” he
laughs.
But he stayed. The children
and the desire to get them safely
to school each day gets in your
blood, he says.
The Durham District School
Board recently recognized Mr.
Annand for his 35 years of acci-
dent-free driving. Although he
has driven a bus for 37 years, two
of them were as a substitute dri-
ver.
An earlier career highlight for
Mr. Annand came while the
buses were owned by Stock.
Completing a written test and
bus challenge, he won a safe dri-
ving tournament.
“Driving the bus is easy, but
keeping the children riding safely
is the hard part,” he says. “One of
the trainers for Stock said ‘make
up your mind every day that
you’re not going to get in an acci-
dent’,” he adds. “That sticks with
you.”
His current route number,
‘205’, is written in black marker
on a piece of cardboard stationed
in the bus’s front window. He’s
been driving the route for 30
years, with the exception of some
minor variances. The route has
also been called ‘203’ and ‘H4’ in
previous years. He has also spent
time doing additional runs, such
as a mid-day kindergarten route.
“I drove second-generation
children, which includes my three
grandsons, and my two daugh-
ters rode with me too,” he says.
“The nice thing about driving a
bus in the same community is
you see the children grow and be-
come responsible adults.
“They’re like my family,” Mr.
Annand adds.
And similar to a real family, sad
times have also been a part of his
bus driving life. Over the years,
five of the children who had at
some point been passengers of
his bus have died.
“I felt kind of like they were
family passing away,” he says,
sinking in his seat. “You feel emo-
tionally attached to the children
and their families.
“It can be kind of a lonesome
job,” he adds. “You’re alone
watching out for these 45 chil-
dren, you can’t really turn around
and talk to them because you
have to watch the road.”
But there are many good mem-
ories as well, such as getting the
kids back each fall and seeing
they’ve grown two inches over the
summer, driving his daughters
and grandchildren to school, get-
ting lots of chocolates for Christ-
mas from the kids, as well as giv-
ing them bags of chips and treats
in return.
“I’ve had a child who didn’t
want to get off the bus,” he chuck-
les. “He didn’t want to go to
school. He was alright on the
bus.”

Alzheimer
Wandering
Registry
People with Alzheimer Disease or related dementia sometimes lose the ability to
recognize familiar places, to communicate or to remember their own names and
addresses. They may leave home, become confused and get lost. This can be
dangerous for people with the disease and worrisome for caregivers. But there is
help!
Safely Home¸ is a nationwide program designed to help find the person who is
lost and assist in a safe return home. Development by Alzheimer Society of
Canada in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a registry stores
vital information confidentially on a police database. Police anywhere in Canada

you were like a nun or some-
thing,” said Jean Warren, who
was several years older than
most girls in the class.
Wearing a ring with the hospi-
tal’s crest on it, Elinore (Pierson)
Guest said the school program
was strict, but perhaps it was a
good thing.
“I think that’s what made us
good nurses,” said Mrs. Guest.
“We got a lot more experience
than the girls get nowadays.”
During their first year’s proba-
tion period the girls had to wear
black stockings and black shoes.
Later they earned caps to go with
their uniforms and the cap’s
band changed colour with their
advancement in the program.
“I think it’s terrible they don’t
have caps now, we worked so
hard for those caps,” said Ms.
Guest.
Each of those attending the
50th anniversary received a t-
shirt with the school crest on it,
as well as a book with each of

since graduation.

Redmen exorcise
Excelsiors ghost
DURHAM –It’s one of those vic-
tories the Brooklin Redmen could
look to as season-defining.
By prevailing 14-13 in overtime
against the Brampton Excelsiors
Wednesday, the Redmen not only
moved within striking distance of
Brampton, the first place occupant
in the Major Series standings, they
also managed their first victory in
three tries this season against the
defending Major Series champion.
Gavin Prout’s goal with 10 sec-
onds remaining (his third of the
game) in the extra session proved
to be the difference.
Kasey Beirnes, with four, rookie
Ashton McLean and Scott Stapleford
each had a pair while Mike Morrison,
Shawn Williams and Jason Crosbie
rounded out the Redmen attack.
Brooklin’s sixth goal, coming
early in the second period, sent Ex-
celsior netminder Bob Watson to the
bench in favour of Brandon Miller.
Tr ailing 6-1, the visitors seemed to
respond, eventually tying the score
at eight early in the third.
While Brooklin would take leads
of 10-8 and 11-10, the Excelsiors hung
around, tying the score on both oc-
casions and forcing overtime with
just nine seconds remaining.
Brooklin (8-3) moved to within
two points of Brampton (9-3) in the
Major Series standings.
Today, the Redmen are complet-
ing a two-game weekend stint in
Windsor against the hapless War-
locks (0-11) before returning home
for a Wednesday game against the
St. Catharines Major Athletics.
Canada Day
split for Dodgers
DURHAM – Canada’s birthday
gave a mixed bag of gifts to the Os-
hawa Dodgers.
Af ter Darryl Reid’s two-run
home run gave the Dodgers a come
from behind 4-3 win over the Strat-
ford Storm in the first game of an In-
tercounty League doubleheader
Thursday, the home side stormed
back in game two, winning by a 9-3
count.
A six-run sixth inning proved to
be the difference. Mick Kurhan hit a
two-run shot for Oshawa.
Matt Tosoni (2-1) picked up the
win for Oshawa in the opener. Adam
Clarke (1-4) was tagged with the loss
in the night-cap.
Heading into last night’s game in
Guelph against the Royals, the
Dodgers had a chance at splitting
the four-game road trip. Oshawa
was pounded Wednesday night in
To r onto by the Maple Leafs, 16-1. Tim
Smith’s second inning solo home run
was one of the few Dodger bright
spots on the evening. Smith, the left-
fielder, also reportedly tallied an
unassisted tackle of an elusive
streaker.
Pickering swimmer
earns scholarship
ride at Hawaii
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
PICKERING — A Pickering swim-
mer is headed to the land of the
big kahuna, grass skirts and Don
Ho to begin his collegiate career.
Kur tis Miller signed on for a
four-year scholarship to the Uni-
versity of Hawaii in Honolulu
where he’ll join the Rainbow War-
riors team. He’s convinced the
university fits him like a Hawai-
ian lei.
“I figured it’s not a bad place to
be for the next four years,” says
the 18-year-old Dunbarton High
School graduate and a member
of the Scarborough Swim Club.
“It’s a really good swim team.
There are a lot of Australians
there who make up about half the
team. It’s very well balanced in
academics as well as athletics.
That played a huge part in my
decision.”
One of his first orders of duty
with the Hawaiian team in the
fall is competing at an open water
swim meet. It will be held on a
beach off the coast of Wakiki.
“That should be awesome,” he
says.
Miller had plenty to consider in
terms of what university to at-
tend. In addition to Hawaii, he
mulled over offers from Texas
A&M, Nevada-Las Vegas, Ari-
zona State and Ohio State. He
paid official visits to all these
schools, with the exception of
Ohio, before making his decision.
He cites the coaches, including
head coach Mike Anderson, as
another reason why Hawaii be-
came his first choice.
“I really enjoyed the coaching
staff and I really got along with
the other swimmers,” says Miller.
“I found that really important.”
A sprinter in the pool, Miller
says he expects to swim in some
of the relay events. He lists as his
specialties the 50-metre and
100m freestyle, 50m and 100m
backstroke and the 50m and
200m butterfly.
And, he expects to compete at
Western Athletic Conference
(WAC) and at the NCAA champi-
onships during his first year.
“I think I can take it to the
NCAAs,” he says. “We have the
conference championships in
Fe bruary and the NCAAs in
March. I’m hoping to make
NCAA cuts and make it to na-
tionals. They’re all world-class
athletes at the NCAA, so we’ll see
what happens.”
Miller says his 10 years with the
Scarborough club have prepared
him well to make the next step
into the collegiate ranks.
“It’s an extremely challenging
program there. We’re using the
same program the universities
are using, so I won’t have to
change too much when I go down
there,” he says.
This month, Miller competes at
the Canadian Olympic Trials at
the Etobicoke Olympium Pool in
To ronto July 6 to 9. He’ll swim the
50m and 100m free and 100m
back. He heads in coming off a
two-month layoff, due to fatigue.
“That kind of hurt my chances,
but I’m going there looking for
experience; I’m not too worried
about 2004 — I’m more worried
about 2008. I think I’m going to
have a better shot in 2008,” he
said of seeking an Olympic berth.
He does, however, believe he’ll
make it to the finals in all three of
his events.
Miller leaves for Hawaii in mid-
Aug ust and begins training al-
most immediately.
He’ll study criminology.

Bickell and
Berti picked
in NHL draft
By Brad Kelly
Sports Editor
DURHAM –Fame, and the
subsequent fortune that
could eventually accompa-
ny it, hasn’t changed
Bryan Bickell.
Speaking from a hotel
near Carolina just a day
after being selected in the
second round, 41st overall
by the Chicago Black-
hawks at Saturday’s NHL
Entry Draft, Bickell
touched on his plans for
the summer during his in-
ter view.
While he will spend most
of the next couple of
months on activities that
could help him become ca-
pable of playing in the
world’s best hockey
league, that’s not all that’s
on his itinerary.
“I asked if it was all right
if I played baseball, and
they said as long as I don’t
get hurt,” said the 18-year-
old Orono resident.
For a nominal fee this
summer, you can watch
Bickell patrol centre field
for his Kendal Royals ju-
nior baseball team at Har-
vey Jackson Memorial
Park in Kendal. In the fu-
ture, you will be charged
significantly more to
watch the talented for-
ward suit up for one of the
original six members of
the NHL.
Bickell’s name was an-
nounced and posted on
the large draft board on
the floor of the arena that
is home to the Carolina
Hurricanes shortly after 3
p.m. on Saturday, when
the Blackhawks snapped
up the 6-foot-3, 210-pound
winger, who has played
major junior hockey the
past two seasons with the
Ottawa 67’s.
“I was relieved it was
over,” said Bickell of his
initial thoughts upon hear-
ing his name announced
over the public address
system. “I was thinking
that now I can move on
and do what I have to get
to the next step.”
Bickell was one of two
players the Blackhawks
selected in consecutive
rounds, snatching Oshawa
resident Adam Berti of the
Oshawa Generals in the
third round, 68th overall.
Both players are of the
same ilk.
“Both Bickell and Berti
are big, power forward left-
wingers,” noted amateur
scout Tim Higgins on the
team’s Web site. “Both
have a good competitive
edge to them and both are
willing to fight, so you’ve
got grinding type players
that Chicago Blackhawks
fans like to see.”
Bickell expressed some
surprise about being taken
by the Blackhawks. In the
last couple of days leading
up to the draft, Atlanta,
Vancouver and San Jose
had been most aggressive
in their pursuit through
meetings.
“(Chicago) wasn’t really
looking too much into me,”
he said, noting he met with
Atlanta the most, three
times.
Projected to be a late
first- or early second-
round pick, Bickell wasn’t
disappointed about when,
or where, he went.
“I was pretty relaxed
through the whole thing,”
he said of the anticipation.
“I never really expected to
go in the first round, but it
would have been nice. I
was happy to go in the sec-
ond round to Chicago. I
hear it’s a nice city.”
Bickell was scheduled to
attend a prospects camp
in Chicago this week and
running through to July 5.

It’s difficult to establish benchmarks and to
comparison shop for a home renovator because peo-
ple don’t shop for one as often as they shop for items
such as shoes.
Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart says that a
home renovation project should be a well thought
out decisions. It could cost thousand of dollars and
will affect your family for many years so enlisting
the help of an expert is key.
The first step is information gathering. Visit
showrooms, websites and publications to learn what
products are available on the market. Get an
overview and then narrow it down to what you real-
ly want.
“The next step is having a face-to-face meet-
ing with a specialist, not a generalist,” says Sam.
“It’s important to work with a person you feel com-
fortable with. A rapport has to be established as well
as a bond of trust”
HIRE A SPECIALIST
General contractors usually have the skill to
oversee an entire project and often contract out spe-
cific parts of it.
Specialists focus on one trade. They do it
day-in, day-out. They usually work faster because
there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to
the work at hand.
Sam says that consumers should look for spe-
cialists such as those at Plumbing Mart, who can
give them exact start dates, progress time and a sub-
stantive completion date.
“Buyers should be careful about vague time-
lines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor can
start work in July, does that mean at the beginning of
July or a the end of the month? Your life could be
turned upside down for a whole month.”
Consumers should also ask how long a con-
tractor has been in business. A contractor that just
started his business may have great intentions, but
may not be able to respond appropriately if an
unforeseen problem is encountered.
“Plumbing Mart has been in business for
more than 40 years. If there is a problem we can
make five phone calls and come up with five differ-
ent solutions.”
An established specialist will also have expe-
rienced several home renovating trends throughout
the years and come with its own innovations.
WARRANTY
Wa r ranty is a key point. Always ask if it cov-
ers the product, service, labour, or all three. If a
bathtub comes with a manufacturer’s warranty only,
will your contractor remove it at no cost so that you
can claim your warranty from the manufacturer? Is
the cost of labour going to be charged to you? Only
a specialist that stands behind all facets of its work
can give consumers the peace of mind that they
deserve.
IT’S YOUR DREAM
When telling your chosen renovator about
your dream room, will that person follow your agen-
da or his? A good renovator should be able to think
outside the box and have the resources to deliver
what you want. Once you have agreed on an idea,
that renovator should shop for all parts needed to
complete the job.
Ensure that your renovator also commits to
disposing of garage and to leaving your home clean
so that your family can start to enjoy the newly ren-
ovated kitchen or bathroom right away.

BROWN, Eunice K. (Katherine, Kay, Kitty)-
Passed away at the Hillsdale Manor, Oshawa, on
June 30, 2004. Kay Brown (nee Reid), late of
Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, and earlier St. Cathe-
rines. Kay was born on September 30, 1914 in
Louin Mississippi, the last of eight. Kay carried re-
sponsibilities early, caring for both her mother and
father when in poor health. While caring for them at
home, she taught at a nearby business college. As
the Second World War loomed, Kay moved to
Washington, D.C. where executive employment for
women was growing rapidly, becoming the Confi-
dential Secretary to the Chief of Naval Operations
up until the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thereafter she
enlisted in the Women Marines, rising to the rank of
Captain, eventually serving as Assistant Adjutant at
Quantico Marine Air Station. There she met her
husband to be, Glenn C., the Adjutant, whom she
subsequently married in 1945. They relocated to
Hawaii, then to California, where they had Glenn R.
She took up a variety of executive responsibilities
with Hunt Foods, two local TV stations and all three
stations affiliated with national networks, as well as
the original Disneyland, while working on a commu-
nications degree at the University of Southern Cali-
fornia. As Glenn C. finished training in photography,
they moved to Garden Grove and established a
photo studio and home, together with their son
Glenn R., retiring in the 1980s as Glenn C.'s health
declined. After several years of caring for Glenn C.'s
declining health, and after his death, Kay relocated
in 1987 to St. Catherines to be with Glenn R., his
wife Helen, and their daughter Adrienne. Kay quick-
ly made many friends in her condominium and in
the series of churches which she affiliated. She
achieved and maintained an independent living
which she enjoyed for several years. In the mid
nineties her own health declined, and eventually
she moved to a nursing home in Oshawa to be clos-
er to her family. She is survived by her son and
daughter-in-law and granddaughter, many nieces
and nephews, numberless cousins and "kissing
cousins". The memorial service will be held on
Wednesday, July 7, 2004 at 3 pm at Garden City
Baptist Church, 265 Linwell Road, St. Catherines.
A luncheon and time of fellowship to follow at the
church. Interment will be later in California at the
National Veteran's Cemetery in Long Beach, next to
her "sweetheart" Glenn C.. In lieu of flowers, dona-
tions may be sent to World Vision's work in Africa.

Press
council
sides with
reader
PICKERING – The Ontario Press
Council has upheld a complaint
against the Pickering News Adver-
tiser over a line in a humour col-
umn.
Both the News Advertiser and
Pickering resident Fred Holmes,
who filed the complaint, submitted
written arguments to a panel of
press council members at a recent
hearing.
The following is the text of the
adjudication:
Fred Holmes of Pickering com-
plained that a sentence in a hu-
mour column published in the
Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser
on Feb. 4 was “racist, sexist and
ageist.”
Describing the Victorian home
in which he lives, columnist Neil
Crone wrote: “But I have to tell
you, she loses heat faster than a
menopausal Eskimo.”
The newspaper defended the ar-
ticle, citing Ontario Press Council
policy that says it is appropriate
for columnists to exercise wide lat-
itude in expressing their opinions.
It said it was frustrated in its ef-
forts to reach out to Mr. Holmes.
The Ontario Press Council en-
courages readers to first give
newspapers an opportunity to re-
dress a complaint and it regrets
that Mr. Holmes did not accept an
invitation to write a letter to the
editor.
It nevertheless sees the sentence
as distasteful, insensitive and of-
fensive. In upholding the com-
plaint, the press council suggests
that rather than waiting for a let-
ter to the editor, the News Adver-
tiser should have published a brief
note of apology.
