HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2006_11_05 Police continue probe
into wounding of five
By Jeff Mitchell
Staff Writer
AJAX — The shooters who
wounded five people during a
melee Halloween night in Ajax
fired indiscriminately on a street
crowded with people, said the lead
investigator on the case.
“Some innocent bystanders
were hit,” said Durham police
Detective Dan McKinnon. “They
sprayed the crowd with bullets.”
Investigators are working
around the clock to interview wit-
nesses who were in the vicinity of
McSweeney Crescent, in the area
of Rossland and Westney roads,
when gunfire erupted around 8
p.m. Tuesday night.
A confrontation among two
groups of youths escalated to the
point where at least two guns were
pulled and shots fired, police said.
Five males, aged 19 and younger,
were hit and suffered non life-
threatening wounds.
Det. McKinnon said cops are
meeting with varying levels of co-
operation as they speak to wit-
nesses, including the victims, who
have been helpful.
There are potentially numerous
witnesses, including bystanders
and the group of young people
who were involved in the fracas,
he said.
“The street was packed with
families and children” in addition
to a large group of youths among
which the dispute erupted, Det.
McKinnon said.
“In the area where the shooting
took place, there were 30 to 60
people.”
It’s believed people from out-
side the area were involved in the
dispute, he said: “Some people
lived in the neighbourhood; some
people didn’t.”
Given the density of the crowd
and the number of shots fired it’s
remarkable more serious injuries
didn’t result, Det. McKinnon said.
The incident has come as a
shock to residents of the quiet
neighbourhood in which it took
place, and among the young peo-
ple who see more violence creep-
ing into their lives each day. It’s
also disturbing for the cops who
police the community.
“I am shocked someone would
be so careless,” Det. McKinnon
said.
“That’s the scary part: that
they’re not afraid of the conse-
quences.”
Police are still urging anyone
with information to help with the
investigation by calling 905-579-
1520, ext. 2544, or Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-8477.
“Any little bit of information we
get may be a big part of our puz-
zle,” Det. McKinnon said.

Population growth means
more cash for hospital
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Hume Martin is glad
to finally see a funding announce-
ment from the Ministry of Health
that offers support for high-growth
areas.
Mr. Martin, Rouge Valley Health
System CEO and president, is re-
ferring to a $142.4 million funding
announcement made last Friday
to address emergency room wait
times in the province. Rouge Valley
is getting $1.39 million, with $1.13
million of that money being allo-
cated because the hospital serves
high population growth areas.
“It’s certainly very welcome. I
hadn’t anticipated funding relief of
this nature,” he said. “What was
particularly good was this funding
announcement included sup-

PICKERING — David Moore, left, and Derek Kikot of Sleep Country Canada, stand with some coats from
the company’s annual ‘Give a Kid a Coat’ campaign. The campaign requests donations of new and gently
used kids’ coats are distributed to children in need by the Salvation Army. The campaign continues in Ajax
and Pickering until Nov. 21.

port for high-growth hospitals and that
hasn’t happened in a long time.”
The remaining $265,000 was allocated
for emergency room process improve-
ments.
Hospitals have yet to be told how the
money should be used and Mr. Martin
doesn’t know how it will be divided
between the Ajax and Centenary sites.
He suspects Ajax might get the bulk of
it since no other Toronto area hospitals
received any high-growth funding.
Hospitals in the growing 905 regions
have been advocating for more fund-
ing for their areas for quite some time.
Compared to the rest of the province,
905 hospitals receive less funding per
capita. Mr. Martin sees this announce-
ment as a move toward addressing that
inequity.
“I would expect the government will
continue to ad-
dress this as they
apply population-
based funding to
the LHINs (Local
Health Integra-
tion Networks),”
he said.
Mr. Martin said
additional fund-
ing is needed at
both ER sites.
“We have ter-
rific challenges at both sites, but par-
ticularly Ajax,” Mr. Martin said. “This is
welcome.”
The Emergency Department Action
Plan includes $13.2 million to retain and
recruit emergency room physicians;
$76.8 million to create a ‘Better Access
to Emergency Care Fund’, which should
reduce ER wait times, and provides $10
million for small and rural hospitals
and $30 million to hospitals in areas of
high population growth to improve their
capacity; and $52.4 million to support
community-based services and provide
more services in the community.
While the announcement covered
many areas to do with ERs, Mr. Martin
would still like to see funding for an-
other key area.
“What the announcement did not in-
clude was funding for more hospital
beds,” he said, Rouge Valley currently
has an application in for more inpatient
beds in Ajax.
“You can put all the money you want
into emergency rooms, but if you don’t
put money into long-term care and in-
patient beds, ERs will continue to be
backed up,” Mr. Martin said.
In Ajax, the ER needs more support
for consults and additional space for
stretchers, the latter won’t be possible
until the redevelopment is complete.
Built 40 years ago, the emergency
room was designed to handle 20,000 vis-
its a year. It now sees more than double
that amount. “Our numbers are higher
than ever right now,” Mr. Martin said.
“We’re on track to being close to 48,000.”
In the first six months of the year the
number of visits was 24,150 and last year
it was 46,118.
“We’re looking at new volume re-
cords,” Mr. Martin said.
Organization
serving youth
in Ajax and Pickering
receives $179,200
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The Youth Centre now
has enough money to fulfil its No. 1
priority for the year.
In an announcement last Fri-
day, the provincial government an-
nounced a $142 million action plan
for emergency departments that in-
cludes $52.4 million for community-
based services, including community
health centres. The Youth Centre, a
youth-focused CHC serving Ajax and
Pickering, received $179,200.
Susan Bland, the Youth Centre’s
executive director, said she doesn’t
have the details of what the money
is to be used for yet, but she knows
where she would like the money to
go.
The Youth Centre would like to
add another full-time nurse prac-
titioner to its roster of health-care
professionals.
“(This) is a positive thing. That was
our No. 1 priority in our budget sub-
mission this year,” Ms. Bland said.
“We’re happy about that.”
The last time they added a nurse
practitioner the Centre was able to
create its outreach program at Dun-
barton High School.
“What this will enable us to do is
more outreach,” she said.
“We’ll look at doing more of that
at either high schools or other com-
munity locations.”
The addition of another member to
their team could create space prob-
lems, but those should be solved
once the satellite office is built in
Pickering in the next year or two.
The Youth Centre could also use
the money to help with its basic
operations costs, to assist in giving
staff health and safety training, to do
strategic planning, and to develop a
community plan.

Surveillance camera
rolling as man steals box
from Ajax Pizza Pizza
AJAX — A thief was caught on tape
stealing a poppy donation box from an
Ajax Pizza Pizza.
As surveillance was recording in-
side the Harwood Avenue pizza joint,
a white, middle-aged man made his
move on the poppy box at 10:15 p.m.
on Nov. 1, while the restaurant’s em-
ployee was busy in the back.
“If he stole that, he’ll do anything for
money,” said Mano Chelliah, the res-
taurant owner, after watching the tape.
The surveillance tape viewed by the
News Advertiser shows the thief as he
hovers near the counter with a menu
in his hand, then pulls slightly on the
poppy box and quickly backs away.
Moving in again, he grabs the poppy
box and shoves it near the register, fur-
ther out of sight from the employee in
the back, and moves in again to rip out
the donation box before leaving.
“I realized because a customer came
and got a poppy and said, ‘where do I
put the money’,” said Mr. Chelliah, who
wasn’t working that night.
Along with the surveillance camera,
the restaurant’s delivery driver wit-
nessed the theft while he was outside,
said Mr. Chelliah.
The driver followed the man, who
he has seen in the area before, to the
nearby IGA and asked what he was
doing.
“He started yelling at him and (the
driver) was scared and walked away,”
said Mr. Chelliah.
Mr. Chelliah said there was probably
$5 in the box.
Theft of poppy box caught on tape

DURHAM — The Ajax Durham Region
Transit (DRT) depot on Westney Road was
bustling Friday morning. Workers were all
smiles as they shuffled about, customers
came and went and the phone buzzed.
“Yes, we are at full service,” was the reply
from DRT staff to an inquiry.
It has been nearly a month since the bulk
of DRT depots and stops across Durham
Region have seen much action apart from
striking workers’ picket lines. But, with an
agreement in place that both management
and workers say they are pleased with, DRT
resumed full service Friday.
Service resumed earlier than expected
after a push to mobilize the fleet.
“This is great news for our riders,” said
Roger Anderson, Durham Regional and DRT
chairman. “I commend the DRT team for
making this happen so quickly. It’s great to
see the buses rolling throughout the region
once again.”
Riders, too, seemed quite pleased to have
their buses back on line after they were
placed in park Oct. 5.
Steve Wedemire of Ajax is a regular DRT
user and said he is pleased to have buses
back up and running. During the strike he
relied on taxis and GO buses.
“It was difficult getting around and it was
getting expensive,” Mr. Wedemire said. “And
the wait for a taxi, sometimes it seemed like
it would take forever.”
Although he felt the inconvenience of the
transit strike, he said, in a way, he supported
the workers’ job action.
“I have been here for 13 years and this is
the first transit strike I had seen,” Mr. We-
demire said.
A group of Grade 10 students from J. Clarke
Richardson Collegiate on Harwood Avenue
North said they are delighted at the thought
of being able to head to the mall, restaurants
and anywhere else their heart’s desire now
that the buses are back in full swing.
Sarah Gionet, who lives in north Ajax, has
for nearly a month been walking the 25-min-
ute trek to school. “It is a lot better when the
buses are running because you don’t have to
wake up as early,” Sarah said.
“There are so many people who had to
walk,” Cassandra Casey added.
Cassandra lives by the Ajax GO Station
and has been scrounging rides or walking
to school. She said many of her classmates
who were left in the lurch during the strike
weren’t even coming to school.
Alexis Lue said when DRT was down it left
her little time for leisure activity.
“I was getting home at 4 p.m. as when with
the buses were running I get home at 3 p.m.,”
Alexis said. “I couldn’t do anything because
I had homework and dance.”
A GO bus ticket agent in Ajax said the
riders who had come in on Friday morning
were pleased. When riders came in with an
October monthly pass to exchange she was
giving them a November pass and a 10-ticket
bonus.
“They are quite happy with that,” she said.
“It is a nice little bonus just before Christmas
and it is actually soothing a lot of nerves.”

Ideas range from
targeting youth to residents
not fluent in English
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — It’s a guaranteed right under
the Canadian Charter of Rights and Free-
doms and yet, during the past five mu-
nicipal elections, voter turnout has steadily
declined.
In Pickering, voter turnout dropped to
28.7 per cent in 2003 from 35.1 per cent in
1991. Similarly, in Ajax the figure fell to 26.7
per cent in 2003 from 33 per cent in 1991.
The decline isn’t exclusive to Durham;
municipal elections across Ontario and
Canada suffer from low voter turnout. But
some municipalities in Ontario are working
to combat the trend with internet voting,
public education campaigns and engaging
youth.
The Region of Waterloo, along with the
cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge,
and the townships of Wilmont, Wellesley,
North Dumfries and Woolwich, joined to-
gether to try to increase voter turnout in the
2003 municipal election. A public education
campaign was launched that included post-
ers, flyers and advertising, explaining who
can vote, where to vote and information on
advance voting days.
Kris Fletcher, regional clerk for the Re-
gion of Waterloo, said the 2003 campaign
has been redesigned for the 2006 municipal
elections.
“We are trying to get it out to more places
this go around,” Ms. Fletcher said. “We spe-
cifically tried to target youth.”
She said they changed the look of the ma-
terial slightly to appeal to youth.
The Region, according to Ms. Fletcher,
wasn’t able to gauge how successful the
2003 campaign was because it wasn’t able to
track how many people saw the promotional
material. Voter turnout across the Region of
Waterloo in 2003 was 24 per cent.
“Whether or not it will be more or less ef-
fective this time, it is a difficult nut to crack,”
Ms. Fletcher said. “We are not 100-per cent
sure how much it helps. We don’t think it
hurts but we aren’t sure if it helps either.”
In 2003, the mayor of Newmarket, where
the 2003 voter turnout was 31 per cent,
launched a task force to address its the
issue in municipal elections and the ‘Make
a Note to Vote’ campaign was created. Luis
Silva was hired with the primary mandate
of increasing voter participation. The cam-
paign includes a Vote 2006 web page, the re-
establishment of a Kids Can Vote program
designed to promote voting among youth,
and the creation of a community outreach
program aimed at citizens who may be unfa-
miliar with the municipal electoral process.
With the Kids Can Vote program, children
who go to a polling station with their par-
ents are given a ballot with two yes or no
questions. They will be asked if Newmarket
should have Internet voting and if young
people in Newmarket are asked for their
ideas on local issues.
“It helps also to boost the turnout of par-
ents when they take their kids,” Mr. Silva
said.
New faces, the community outreach pro-
gram, has election notices translated into six
different languages for those who may not
be fluent in English.
“By reaching out half way to them, they
will see we are making an effort and they will
reach out in turn,” Mr. Silva said.
A second leg to the New Faces campaign
is aimed at prospective Canadian citizens.
Newmarket is working to educate them
about the federal, provincial and municipal
election processes.
The programs seem to be working, ac-
cording to Mr. Silva. The Kids Can Vote
program started in 2000 and in that year the
voter turnout increased from 34 per cent in
1997 to 36 per cent.
Over in the Town of Markham, a strategy
to increase voter turnout is being given a
second go around. Voter turn out in the 2003
election was 27.6 per cent which, according
to Marjorie Rebane, manager of corporate
communications for the Town of Markham,
held steady from the previous year.
“(E-voting) was brought forward not just
to increase voter turnout,” Ms. Rebane said.
“But also for people who wanted to vote
from work, seniors.”
In the last municipal election, 12,000 of
150,000 registered Markham voters used the
Internet and already in this election 10,000
are registered for Internet voting.

EDITORIAL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Reduced rate
for disabled a
fair decision
Disability pensioners get much-
needed break on monthly bus pass
It got buried amid all the turmoil over the just-ended month-
long Durham Region Transit strike, but it deserves praise
now. What is it?
It is the six-month pilot project launched by the Durham
Region Transit Commission to allow those who are members
of the Ontario Disability Support Program to pay just $25 for
a monthly pass, the same rate senior citizens pay. The rate for
those on disability and for seniors will climb to $35 per month
on Jan. 1 when the price will rise for everybody.
The current cost of an adult DRT transit pass is $87.50 per
month so the reduction for those on disability is a huge benefit
and could conceivably be the difference between going mobile
and being stuck at home.
While it’s common to think of a disability as preventing
people from getting up a stairwell or through a doorway, it’s
important to realize the financial challenges many who are on
disability face. That’s why this policy is so important. It provides
them with a level of freedom and mobility they might otherwise
be unable to afford.
Barb Peyton, a Community Living Oshawa/Clarington cli-
ent, helped push for the $25 pass for those with a disability.
She says many people receive just $800 a month in disability
payments and can ill afford to spend more than 10 per cent
of that cheque on a transit pass. Also instrumental in pushing
forward with the policy was Oshawa Regional Councillor April
Cullen who made the motion at the DRT commission to make
the policy happen.
Everybody involved in making the new rate a reality for those
on disability deserves credit for having the foresight to realize
the needs of ODSP members. The new passes are available now
and can be picked up wherever DRT passes are sold. In order
to qualify for the reduced rate pass, recipients are required to
present proof that they receive ODSP.
Crone column offended reader
To the editor:
In response to Mr. Crone’s column in the Oct. 18 issue, I ask
the question: Is this the best you can do as far as columnists
go?
Now, granted, I don’t find his brand of humour all that en-
ticing normally (I actually rarely read his columns since they
turn me off so much), and with this particular article, I was
reminded why. I found his fictitious dialogue with St. Peter
contemptuous at best, and, as a Christian, a little offensive,
especially regarding St. Peter’s “conversion” to adult websites.
One has to wonder how much Mr. Crone actually knows about
St. Peter. For instance, the way in which the man was martyred
defending his faith -- crucified upside down since he did not
consider himself worthy to die in the same manner as his
master. This hardly seems like the type of guy who could be so
easily swayed to endorse adult websites.

Ajax and Pickering
residents among
assembly members
Love it or hate it, Ontario is embark-
ing on a mission to scrutinize its
electoral system.
Last spring, the Province launched a
search for 103 everyday people to exam-
ine the way we elect MPPs and decide
whether a new system is in order.
The Citizens Assembly on Electoral Re-
form was formed after 124,000 letters were
sent at random to names on the register of
electors. Of those who said they would be
interested in sitting on the assembly, 1,200
were invited to selection meetings and
a final 103 -- one for each riding -- were
chosen in June.
The sad thing is, many would rather
criticize the assembly than recognize the
good intentions and sense of civic pride
reflected here.
In recent months, several newspapers
have printed editorials whining that noth-
ing will change because the assembly is
likely to recommend the status quo, or
complaining that too much will change
when the current system is fine.
One holier than thou Toronto columnist
delighted in making fun of the assembly
members, characterizing them as a bunch
of housewives, retirees and nerdy students
with nothing better to do.
I recently interviewed Oshawa’s assem-
bly member and she is none of the above.
Nancy Collins runs a successful local busi-
ness with her husband and is making
time for the project because she thinks it’s
important -- not because she has time to
kill.
I don’t know the rest of the members
but a quick scan of their online profiles
reveals students working towards degrees,
a software company account manager,
teachers, store managers, a labour and
employment lawyer, a research scientist, a
metallurgical engineer -- the list goes on.
Sure, there are retirees and stay at home
moms, but read about their life experi-
ences. They include retired high school
principals and police officers and a mom
who formerly ran a women’s shelter.
These don’t sound like people with
nothing better to do.
They sound like people who want to
make a difference and deserve our sup-
port -- or at the very least deserve not to
be mocked.

donate custom
chopper
By Izabela Jaroszynski
Staff Writer
DURHAM — After nearly 200
hours spend rewiring, painting and
polishing, the ‘Birth of a Nation’
motorcycle was revealed to the
public in Oshawa on Wednesday.
Peter Ott, co-owner of Cranked
Customs in Port Perry, stood like
a proud parent beside the custom-
ized chopper he helped create.
“It has been an incredible expe-
rience,” he said, running his hand
over the smooth brown exterior. “It
has turned out better than I ever
imagined it would.”
The chopper -- a stock M003
2005 Ultra STD 95 HP Single Down
Tu be Chopper -- began life as an
electric blue bike in California. But
through the volunteer work of Mr.
Ott and his friends and colleagues,
it was unveiled yesterday at R.S.
McLaughlin Collegiate as a tribute
to the soldiers who gave their lives
at the battle of Vimy Ridge nearly
90 years ago.
Donated by Bob Owen of Roy
Nichols Motors, the $40,000 origi-
nal chopper has been painted the
exact shade of brown as the Cana-
dian uniforms worn by soldiers in
the First World War and custom-
designed with authentic war med-
als, portraits of four Victoria Cross
winners etched into the gas tank
and a Vimy cenotaph painted on
the back fender.
“The biggest challenge for us was
making the decision of what to put
on it. Deciding where you want to
go with it. It would be easy to make
it gaudy, but we just wanted to
keep it classy,” Mr. Ott said. “After
that it was just finding the
time to work on this while
running a business.”
With the help of his busi-
ness partner, Leroy Dough-
erty, his friend, Bob Moor,
and colleague, Mike Palombo from
Kustom Airworks in Brampton, Mr.
Ott managed to fulfill his prom-
ise to the organizers of the Vimy
Ridge tour to deliver a custom-
designed motorcycle that would
serve as a unique fundraising tool
for a unique trip.
The April 2007 tour will see thou-
sands of high school students from
across the country travel to France
to honour the 90th anniversary of a
battle that defined Canada.
“This is just something we want-
ed to be involved in,” Mr. Ott said.
“When I first started this, I didn’t
know anything about Vimy Ridge,
so it has been a learning experi-
ence for me as well.”
Each of the 3,600 students who
makes the cross-Atlantic journey
will do so as a representative of one
Canadian soldier who lost his life
in the four-day battle that began on
Easter Monday, April 9, 1917.
The trip is part of Dave Rob-
inson’s vision to bring history to
life for students. Head of the his-
tory department at Port Perry High
School and the national co-ordina-
tor of the Vimy Ridge trip, Mr. Rob-
inson hopes that by taking history
beyond the textbook he can inspire
the next generation to carry on the
stories of those who have passed
away.
“Kids today are much more, in
many ways, savvy than we were,
definitely than when I was the
same age.
“So you have to do something
more, you have to make it real.
By doing what we are doing
that makes it real for the
students,” he said. “There
are only three First World
War veterans left, the stories
will soon be gone. It is im-
portant that Canadians of all ages
realize how important Vimy Ridge
is.”
The one-of-a-kind bike will now
make its way around Canada to
raise awareness and will be auc-
tioned off in the new year. Money
from the sale will be used to buy
commemorative medals for each
of the participating students.
Mr. Ott said that for the group of
men who worked so hard to com-
plete the chopper, the project has
allowed them to make a contribu-
tion to the memory of Vimy Ridge.
“It’s small and it’s insignificant
really,” he said. “But it’s something
and I know now that (my business)
at least has done something to help
out the tour to get the students over
there and help them to realize what
these people went through.”

Region hosts group
of Grade 9 students
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — An important message
about risk kicked off the Region’s Take
Our Kids To Work Day program Nov. 1.
“It is your life, it is your choice, so it
is your responsibility,” Adrian Dieleman
said. “The decisions you make will affect
you for the rest of your life.”
During the welcoming session of the
program, which the Region has been run-
ning for eight years, Grade 9 students from
across Durham heard from Mr. Dieleman
of Smartrisk.
In 1987, when he was 22 years old, Mr.
Dieleman injured his spinal cord and was
left with quadriplegia after crashing his
car while drinking and driving.
“I am here because there might be
something I can say to you to help you
prevent injuries,” Mr. Dieleman said.
He told the students it is not that they
shouldn’t take risks, but they should just
take smart risks. He outlined five steps
the students can take to prevent injuries:
buckle up, look first, wear the gear, get
trained and drive sober.
“Life is about making choices,” Mr.
Dieleman said.
“A lot of people don’t think about get-
ting hurt. I learned the hard way, only you
can be responsible for your own life.”
Mr. Dieleman said he believes most of
the time, when someone is seriously in-
jured it is preventable.
Following the presentation the 70 stu-
dents, all of whom have a parent em-
ployed by the Region, piled onto two
school buses and headed out on a tour of
three of the Region’s facilities.
They first visited the Ajax water supply
plant, then the traffic operation centre
and finally an emergency medical ser-
vices station. During their lunch break the
students heard a presentation from the
Durham Regional Police.
Students head to work and get a lesson in taking smart risks

Students whose parents work at the Durham Region headquarters listen intently to Adrian Diele-
man from ‘Smartrisk’ as he details the car accident that left him in a wheelchair. It was part of
Ta ke Your Kids to Work Day.
Angels for remembrance
DURHAM — Help brighten the holi-
days for families with lost loved ones
through the Angels’ Tree of Light.
Bereaved Families of Ontario-Dur-
ham Region is holding its annual me-
morial service, in which families can
place hand-made angels on a tree of
lights in honour of their loved ones.
The event occurs at the Durham Dis-
trict School Board, 400 Taunton Rd. E.
in Whitby, Thursday, Nov. 30, at 7:30
p.m. and those contributing angels will
get to take them home afterwards. A
memorial plaque with names will also
be placed next to the tree.
Donations to the Angels’ Tree of
Light will help provide ongoing support
through a variety of services and edu-
cation to Durham families who have
lost a child, as well as children and ado-
lescents who have experienced any sig-
nificant loss. All are welcome to attend
the dedication service. For an angel or
more information, call 905-579-4293 or

training, career planning, self-employ-
ment training, and so much more.
“Most people are astonished to
fi nd out what’s available to them,”
says Adrianne Haight, Team Leader at
Northern Lights. “Being out of work
can be hard on a person’s self-esteem,
and many people prefer to look for
work on their own. But once they’ve
found out they have all these resources
and connections available to assist
them, they realize they aren’t alone.
People often comment that this is a
program everyone should attend.”

of strategies, a job planner and useful
websites.

programs to help you in areas such as
job search, career exploration, or em-
ployment counselling.
Your Employment Specialist can
help you identify your employment
strengths and skills and determine
the necessary steps for you to return
to work. “We have seen job-seekers
achieve success in a range of occupa-
tions,” Haight says, “everything from
entry level to senior executive posi-
tions.”
Customized programs are also
available to assist individuals with
unique needs who are facing challeng-
es fi nding work. There are programs for
youth, women with barriers to employ-
ment, and persons with disabilities.
You’ve been to the workshop and
met with an Employment Specialist,
now you’re learning to tailor your job
search to suit your particular needs and
talents. You have written your return-
to-work action plan, you also have your
toolkit packed with phone numbers and
contact information but you may need
some additional support during your
search for employment. Your Northern
Lights Employment Specialist will be
available to offer support and encour-
agement throughout your journey to
employment
Past participants agree that The

Annual service to honour lost
loved ones during the holidays
By Izabela Jaroszynski
Staff Writer
DURHAM — It was just past 11 p.m.
on a cool August night when Police Con-
stable Richard Ross and pilot Bruce Buck
received the distress call from Hamilton.
They quickly boarded the Air 1 Rescue
helicopter and headed towards the ac-
cident scene where a few hours earlier a
40-year-old man had hit his head while
parachuting out of an airplane and was
now lying unconscious somewhere in
the dark.
As darkness wore on, the Hamilton po-
lice force were about to call off the search
effort for the night with the intention of
continuing a foot search in the morning.
But Cst. Ross and Mr. Buck continued
on.
“They can quit, but
we won’t,” Cst. Ross re-
members saying.
And it was the duo’s
persistence that saved
the life of the experienced skydiver, who
had been preparing to make his 94th
jump when a gust of wind caused his
parachute to open prematurely and
propelled him head-first into the tail of
the plane. With his chute open, he then
floated unconscious down 3,000 metres
and landed far from the intended landing
site.
After numerous grid searches, the Air 1
Rescue helicopter that had flown in from
Durham was running low on fuel but
Cst. Ross decided to go in for one final
swoop.
“I saw only a small amount of his para-
chute,” he said. “I picked up the night sun
and infrared camera and from there we
coordinated with the airport and they
relayed to the ground units -- the police
and the emergency services -- to dis-
patch officers to the area. We lit up with
the night sun the area, permitting easy
access to where he was.”
In a dense bush on top of a quar-
ry lay Leon Sebek, unconscious, with
a deep wound to his head, and severe
injuries to his neck. “They said that if
they hadn’t found him when they did,
that he wouldn’t have survived,” his wife
Betty said. “He wouldn’t have survived
the night for the search in the morning.
The doctors told us that.”
“I remember when you came down,
but that’s about all that I remember,” she
told Cst. Ross, recalling the emotions of
that night. “I was just beside myself that
night. So I can remember when you came
down and we all sort of gathered around
you and I think I may have hugged you.”
Mr. Sebek’s chances for survival re-
mained low as he lay in the hospital, but
within four months he had started the
slow road to recovery. His doctors called
the outcome a miracle.
Four years after his dramatic rescue,
he was finally able to come to Durham to
meet the man who he credits with saving
his life. “I’m sorry it’s taken us so long,”
Mr. Sebek said as he and his wife thanked
Cst. Ross for the major role he played in
a search and rescue effort on August 31,
2002. “I would not be here today had you
guys given up. Thank you,” he said as the
two men shook hands.
Mr. Buck, a civilian pilot, was unable
to attend the meeting due to a previous
engagement, but plans are in the works
to get Mr. Sebek onto the Air 1 Rescue
helicopter to meet the pilot and get a first-
hand look at the equipment and technol-
ogy that was used to spot him that fateful
night.

Schools and community
groups are teaching
fitness and nutrition
By Crystal Crimi
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Some of the kids Anne Cayou-
ette sees in her clinic could be 16-years-old,
5-feet-6-inches, and weigh 267 lbs.
Ms. Cayouette, a nurse practitioner for The
Youth Centre and a facilitator for its Weight
Smart program, is among those engaged
in the battle of the belt, a problem schools
boards, health departments and the Province
are working on solving.
“Kids that are obese, 75 per cent will be
obese adults,” said Ms. Cayouette.
In Durham, 15 per cent of youths aged 12-
19 were overweight in 2000/2001, based on
their height and age, according to informa-
tion supplied by the Region’s health depart-
ment. The prevalence of overweight youth
remained the same between 1990 and 2000.
“When you look at Durham, we’re very
similar to Ontario and North American stats,”
said Mary June Peacock, a Durham Region
public health nurse whose focus is eating and
physical activity.
She said obesity has a multitude of causes,
such as more technology and less active life-
styles, portion sizes, fast food, safety concerns
about kids out by themselves, and a busier
lifestyle full of driving. Community design is
also a contributing factor because of the ab-
sence of sidewalks and recreational centres.
“(Youth) really don’t know why they’re
overweight,” said Ms. Cayouette.
Through the Weight Smart program, along
with going to a fitness centre and meeting
with a dietitian, participants examine their
eating and activity habits, such as having
chips while watching television.
“Kids don’t seem to know the difference
between being hungry and being bored,” said
Ms. Cayouette. “And definitely they’re not
being physically active.”
Ms. Cayouette said some youth consider
walking as active, but it’s not enough.
Last year, the provincial government man-
dated 20 minutes of physical activity per day
into the elementary school curriculum, but
that amount alone is not enough either. Ms.
Peacock said kids need 90 minutes of moder-
ate to vigorous activity a day.
A Regional health department fact sheet
states a National Longitudinal Survey of Chil-
dren and Youth showed 34 per cent of Cana-
dian children aged two to 11 were overweight
and 16 per cent obese in 1994 and 1995. The
numbers rose in 1998 and 1999, when 37 per
cent were overweight, 18 per cent obese.
“If you start today and try to make a little
change, that can have a huge benefit on your
life-long term,” said Ms. Peacock.
Obesity affects growth and development,
she said. The benefits of eating well and
getting physical fitness can include strong
bones, strengthened muscles, better posture
and balance, healthier heart and lungs and a
healthy weight, said Ms. Peacock.
Ms. Cayouette said being overweight can
also cause arthritis from the additional strain
on knees and joints, and lead to mental health
problems because of the teasing and bullying
it can attract.
A lifestyle balanced with nutrition and fit-
ness can help improve academics by reliev-
ing restlessness and improving memory and
observation skills, said Ms. Peacock.
To reach kids, the health department works
with schools to promote and support positive
and healthy changes and is releasing hand-
books with suggestions. For example, they
can sell flower bulbs or have dance-a-thons
for fundraising, instead of chocolate bars and
cookie dough, said Ms. Peacock.
In the Durham District School Board, some
schools are offering organized play stations at
recess, in which student leaders are trained to
run physical activities for all to participate in,
said Superintendent Luigia Ayotte.
“So, when they’re out in the schoolyard,
they’re not just standing there, they’re doing
things,” said Ms. Ayotte.
The 20 minutes of daily physical activity
implemented by the Province has also been
very well received and people are noticing
the difference it makes in student success,
she said. The curriculum includes health and
physical education, information about the
Canada Food Guide to Healthy Eating and
exercises. As well, public elementary schools
have healthy snack programs.
Although there is no policy for vending
machines in high schools, some are starting
to take things like chocolate bars away, said
Ms. Ayotte.
“By the same token, taking things away
is not the answer; you can take it away and
they’ll get it somewhere else,” she said. “It’s
getting them use to balance which is the an-
swer and physical activity is key.”
At some secondary schools in the region,
eat smart programs are already in place and
through them schools work with the health
department to implement nutrition and food
safety in cafeterias.
“When I think back to high school, I think
meat pies, chips and gravy,” said Kathleen
Hopper, an Oshawa public school trustee for
15 years. She said a variety of fruits, low-fat
food and milk is now being offered.
Many of the changes in schools have oc-
curred gradually over the last few years as
more people become concerned about fit-
ness and exercise in daily life, said Trustee
Hopper. “Years ago when I first became a
trustee, physical fitness was centered around
children who maybe were elite,” she said,
but the mind set has shifted toward it being
something everyone should do every day.
She added the daily physical requirement
helps teach kids they all can participate.
“You don’t have to run the mile in four
minutes,” she said.
To some degree, students seem more fit
now than 15 years ago, said Pickering Trustee
Jim McCafferty, a member of the Durham
Catholic District School Board. When he
started, there was not as much emphasis put
on physical education and now schools have
more policies for more healthy foods in caf-
eterias. Trustee McCafferty said he speculates
childhood obesity is not worse, just more in
the forefront than in the past.
“Parents are becoming more aware of
what’s good and bad for their kids, they want
to make sure they grow up healthy,” said
Trustee McCafferty.
Although he doesn’t see childhood obesity
as a problem, he said schools can work to
prevent it from getting any worse and can
continue to offer more physical activity and
education on food choices. Trustee McCaf-
ferty added the effort in developing healthy
kids also hinges on what happens at home.
Ms. Peacock suggested parents provide
healthy food choices, opportunities for physi-
cal fitness and limit recreational screen time
to one hour a day, excluding homework. She
said kids need 90 minutes of moderate-to vig-
orous fitness a day. Time should also be made
for breakfast.
“Personally, I think parents should be in-
volved right from the start,” said Ms. Cayou-
ette, and added even overfeeding babies can
create obese children. They also have to be
careful not to provide junk food for rewards
and make sure kids eat healthy foods, even if
they protest.
“In 20 years, I’ve never seen a kid starve
themselves,” said Ms. Cayouette. “Whatever
is available, they will eventually eat,” said
Ms. Cayouette, and added they can set an
example through their own lifestyle choices.
As for what school boards can do, Ms.
Ayotte said trustees can continue to be sup-
portive and ask the right questions, challeng-
ing the school board to do more. Many of the
programs already in place are an offshoot of
suggestions and questions asked by trustees
in the past.
Durham fights the child obesity battle
From Canada’s Physical Activity Guide for Youth
• Research studies show than more than half of Canadian children and youth are not active
enough for optimal growth and development.
• Canadian girls are less active than boys with only 38 per cent of girls and 48 per cent of
boys considered active enough.
• Since 1981, the prevalence of overweight boys increased from 15 per cent in 1981 to 35 in
1996, and among girls from 15 per cent to 29. During the same time frame, the prevalence of
obesity in children tripled, from five per cent to 16.6 per cent for boys and from five per cent
to 14.6 for girls.
‘Kids don’t seem to know the difference between being hungry and being
bored. And, definitely, they’re not being physically active.’

CANADA’S LEADING PUBLICATION FOR TODAY’S FIFTY-PLUS LIFESTYLES
(MS) — Eating properly is not only good
for your overall health; it’s also good for your
eyes, especially as you age. You can consume
certain vitamins and nutrients that research-
ers have found to nourish and protect the
health of your eyes. Following is a break-
down of some of those fi ndings.
Fr uits reduce your risk of AMD. A study
from the Channing Laboratory at Harvard
Medical School and Brigham and Women’s
Hospital (BWH) indicates that people who
eat a daily diet that includes several servings
of fruit can reduce their risk of developing
macular degeneration (AMD) as seniors.
Th e study compared seniors’ intake of anti-
oxidant vitamins and carotenoids (like beta
carotene) as well as fruits and vegetables, and
how these elements relate to the develop-
ment of macular degeneration. Researchers
discovered that people who consumed three
or more servings of fruit per day over a pe-
riod of 12 to 18 years reduced their risk of
developing macular degeneration by more
than 30 per cent, compared to people who
ate 1.5 servings per day or fewer.
Vitamin A reduces night blindness. A
diet lacking in vitamin A can cause night
blindness, a deterioration of light sensitive
cells (rods) essential for vision in low light-
ing. Th is defi ciency also can extensively dam-
age the eye’s cornea to create total blindness.
Research conducted by ophthalmologist Al-
fred Sommer, M.D., linked a vitamin A (ret-
inol) defi ciency to the very high prevalence
of night blindness in children of developing
countries such as India and Bangladesh. Som-
mer found that night blindness decreased by
one-third in children who received vitamin
A. Sources of vitamin A include: cod liver oil,
liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, and butternut
squash. Note: while vitamin A supplemen-
tation can be benefi cial, it can also be toxic
if taken at abnormally high dosages. Consult
with a doctor before using.
Vitamins E and C slow cataract growth.
Results from the Nurses’ Health Study con-
ducted at the Tufts University USDA Hu-
man Nutrition Research Center on Aging,
demonstrate that supplementation with vi-
tamins E and C may off er signifi cant pro-
tection against the development of cataracts.
Vitamin E sources include: sunfl ower seeds,
almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachio nuts,
avocados, peanuts, and nut products such as
oils and butters, eggs (one egg can provide
almost 6 percent of the recommended daily
amounts of vitamin E), greens, tomatoes,
asparagus, and sweet potatoes. Sources of
vitamin C include: fruits such as guava, or-
anges, grapefruit, melons, grapes, berries, and
fruit juices; vegetables such as peppers, brus-
sel sprouts, potatoes, broccoli, beans, onions,
tomatoes, and squash; meat such as liver and
organ meats; and some seafood and fi sh.

You’re losing the weight. You’re
overcoming the struggle and gaining a
renewed sense of self with the help of
others. How good would it feel to help
someone else?
Every year thousands of women and
children become victims of domestic abuse.
November 25, 2006 is the International
Day for the Elimination of Violence Against
Women. This November, Herbal Magic
wants to give abused women and children
a new start by contributing to women’s
shelters across the country. Herbal Magic
spends every day helping people improve
their self-confi dence and gain healthier
lifestyles. Now it’s time we focus some
of that attention on victims of domestic
violence. In November, everyone who
signs up for a Herbal Magic weight loss
program will be directly helping women
and children in need. Participating Herbal
Magic centres across Canada will donate
$25 from every weight loss program sold to
the Courage to Change Campaign. On top
of collecting funds, we’re asking everyone
to donate “nurture items,” such as toilet
paper, facial tissue, paper plates, paper
cups, and pillows, which form a large part
of the needs at the local shelters. All funds
and supplies collected will be donated
to local women’s shelters. Herbal Magic
believes in nurturing the body, mind, and
soul. Every body has a story and Herbal
Magic wants to help those women and
children whose lives have been affected
by domestic violence. We believe every
individual deserves respect and the chance
to feel their best. We believe in healing
from the inside out and stopping the cycle
of violence. Change takes support and
courage and affects more than you. You
have the courage to change and inspire.
It’s not just what you lose, it’s what you
gain. Help support the Courage to Change
Campaign. For more information or to
make your donation call or visit your local

The spa industry is a booming!
Over the last three years, visits to
spas have increased by 16 per
cent. More than half of the men
and women visiting spas to
engage in facials, manicures,
pedicures, massages and
restorative baths do so for
relaxation purposes, say
reports by Intelligent Spas.
What’s more, many spa
visitors want to recreate
the services and relaxation
values of spa visits in the
comfort of home.
Building upon this idea,
gifts involving personal
care can appeal to many on your holiday shopping
list. Plus, gifts of this type can be put together to
meet a variety of interests and budgets. Here are a
few ideas:
Pampered pedicures. Feet take the brunt of daily
activity. That’s why routine pedicures can keep them
in top shape and provide comfort. Pedicures can be
done at home with a few supplies, easily packaged
into a gift basket. Fill a gift basket with nail clippers,
cuticle pushers, cotton balls, nail polish remover,
moisturizing foot lotion and a pair of warm fuzzy
socks.
At-home facial. There are many products sold at
area department stores and even drug stores that
offer the convenience and lower price of a facial at
home. From exfoliating facial scrubs to mechanized
devices that slough off the signs of aging, you can
fi nd items to cater to your gift recipient. Complete
the package with a CD of relaxing music, gentle
cotton cleansing pads and makeup remover.
Merry massages. Professional spa employees are
certifi ed in massage therapy and make easy work of
loosening up muscles and melting away stress and
tension. However, similar results can be achieved at
home with a few handy items. For massage-lovers,
recreate the spa experience with a gift of a soft robe,
candles, scented (or unscented depending upon
sensitivity) massage oil, and a book of massage
basics. If you’re gifting a romantic partner, include a
certifi cate for your massage services.
A pampered day out. Treat a friend or family
member to a day out by purchasing a gift card to his
or her favorite spa or personal-care salon. A simple
massage or pedicure “on you” will be appreciated.

Season after season you fi nd yourself
racking your brain for new and different
ideas to make a holiday party to remem-
ber. This year, impress your friends and
family with these top tips to make your
party pop - courtesy of the makers of the
smash-hit party game Cranium.
Plan your party in advance. Being the
perfect host doesn’t mean you have to
be stuck in the kitchen all night. To en-
sure you get to mix and mingle as much
as your guests, plan ahead and keep it
simple. Choose a menu with foods that
can be prepared well in advance, and
don’t worry about making everything
from scratch. Set the table the night be-
fore and don’t do the dishes until the fol-
lowing morning.
Theme your get-together. Profession-
al party planners choose a theme for
their parties to weave through everything
from the drinks to the décor. A “tropical
holiday” or “under the sea” party might
offer something new and exciting to
guests. Get your guests involved by ask-
ing them to bring a dish that goes along
with the theme. Don’t be shy -this will
get them excited for the party and also
cut down the time you’ll have to spend
preparing. To add even more suspense
and excitement to the party, keep the
theme a secret and designate the dish
that each guest is to bring.
Edible ornaments. Forget the tinsel
and those red and green glass balls.
Glitz your tree up with some edible orna-
ments. Popcorn and cranberries make
for a nice old-fashioned garland and
candy canes add the perfect fl air to any
tree. This activity keeps kids happy and
entertained while parents mingle with
old friends.
Holiday gift exchange. There’s no
better way to get your guests in the holi-
day spirit than by hosting a holiday gift
exchange. Some popular holiday hits in-
clude getting your friends and family to
sing a Christmas carol before they open
their gift or Secret Santa where each
guest has to guess who bought them
their present. The person who answers
correctly gets to open fi rst. You can also
keep the fun high and expenses low by
setting a price limit - often a $5 gift is as
fun as a $20 gift.
Get your game on. There’s nothing
like a great party game to inject some
excitement to the party. Whether it’s
old favourites or something new, party
games have a way of connecting people
through unforgettable laugh-out-loud
moments.

TheracetotheThe race to the
mall starts now!mall starts now!
Apart from those super organized people - the type
who fi nished shopping last spring and now have all
the gifts neatly wrapped and hidden - most Canadi-
ans are just beginning to contemplate their holiday
shopping list. In fact, some won’t even start think-
ing about it until December. According research
conducted by Visa Canada in 2005, 45 per cent of
Canadians began their Christmas shopping before
December 1.
Of course not all Canadian shoppers are as keen or
as organized - 34 per cent planned to do their shop-
ping between December 1 and December 22, and
a diehard 5 per cent expected to start on December
23 or later.
The survey also revealed that women were more
likely to start early, with 53 per cent planning to start
their shopping before December 1, compared to
only 37 per cent of men. Females also need more
shopping trips to cross everyone off the list - women
expect to make six trips while men only hit the shops
4.8 times a season. For 20 per cent of women, holi-
day shopping is a long-term commitment, taking ten
trips or more. Only 8 per cent say they’ll shop just
once.
Younger people were more likely to put off their an-
nual retail pilgrimage - 20 per cent didn’t plan to shop
until the week of December 11 to 22 - and 19 per cent
of Canadians 50 years of age and older didn’t plan
on doing any holiday shopping whatsoever.
If you feel like you’ve been spending more each
holiday season, you’re probably right. In 2005, re-
spondents expected to spend an average of $918 on
gifts. In 2000, respondents planned to spend $741.
Shoppers in Quebec expected to spend the least
($647) and Atlantic Canadians the most ($1098).

To help you get through your holiday shopping adventures
smoothly and stress free, MasterCard Canada offers the
following tips:
Budget, budget, budget! Before you start shopping,
decide how much you want to spend per person and stick
to that budget. Remember to budget for items such as
wrapping paper, decorations, food and beverages, travel
and other holiday-related costs.
Shop early and shop often. This is the best way to
reduce stress because you’re not shopping for everyone
on your list at the same time. If you do have to shop later in
the season, go early in the day before it gets busy or take
advantage of extended mall hours.
The early bird gets the worm. Same goes for travel-
related purchases. The earlier you book your fl ights or train
tickets, the more options and affordable prices you’ll fi nd.
December 24, 4 p.m. We’ve all seen it, some of us have
even been in it. The crowded parking lots, the frenzied
dash to fi nd that perfect gift before the mall closes. Save
your sanity and avoid last minute shopping.
Hold, please. When it comes to getting this season’s
hottest gift items, why not call the store ahead of time and
put it on hold? It saves you from going to store after store,
after store.
Simplify, simplify, simplify! Children, a busy mall,
and holiday shopping don’t
mix well together. Make
arrangements and leave the
kids at home to make your
shopping trip easier.
Ask yourself: “Where
do I like to shop?” Malls,
boutiques and big box stores
all have great gifts it just
depends on what you want.
Malls offer a chance to do
most of your shopping in one
place, whereas boutiques
have great one-of-a-kind gifts.
Big box stores carry a variety
of merchandise and can also
act as a one-stop-shop.
Shop online. For those who
are mall-shy, try shopping
online. Online shopping
allows you to browse for
multiple items, pay online with
your credit card all from the
comfort of your home. Also, the items are often delivered
straight to your door.
Will they like it? Let’s face it. Some people are diffi cult to
shop for. Instead of spending days fretting over it, ask them
what they want or need. This will ensure you buy a gift they
will like. If you want it to be a surprise, buy the recipient a
gift card to their favorite store, or make a donation to the
person’s charity of choice.
It’s perfect. But if only it were
one size smaller. Sweaters
don’t always fi t perfectly. Save
your receipts and write the
recipient’s name on the back
of each in case you need
to make a gift exchange or
return. Better yet, ask for gift
receipts so you won’t have to
hand over the original. Make
sure to check the store’s
return/exchange policy.
And fi nally breathe! The
holidays are a time for family
and friends. Sure, you want
that perfect gift, but don’t
forget to enjoy yourself
too. For a complete set of
budgeting and other holiday
stress saving tips, please visit

Nothing gets Canadians in the festive spirit quite
like prepping the home for the holidays. Before
inviting family, friends and out-of-town guests to
celebrate, ensure your home is looking its best. For
a quick décor overhaul, consider the following simple
tips from The Home Depot Canada:
First impressions count. Dress up the front yard by
hanging outdoor LED lights on trees and along the edge
of your roof. Also, consider placing an infl atable holiday
icon on the ground to mark this festive time of year. Add
lighting along the walkway leading to the front door to
guide your guests into the warmth.
Fancy foyer. The foyer is the fi rst area of your home
guests will see so make an impression. Adding a glossy
round table with a holiday fl oral arrangement will make
the foyer feel intimate and inviting. If the fl oors are an eye
sore, adding a lush area rug adds colour to the space and
will warm-up your guests’ feet.
Infuse the home with colour. Drape garlands – real or
fake – over mirrors, railings and along the mantle. If you’re
feeling bold, paint the room a rich seasonal hue. Also,
adding some matching pillows or window coverings will
make the room fresh and new.
Deck the walls. Consider adding wall decals or framing
wallpaper as art to give the room a different look. Both
options come in a variety of styles and are removable after
the guests leave so there is no long term commitment.
Light it up. Lighting is a wonderful way to highlight things
like fi replaces, artwork, plants and centrepieces. Placing a
cluster
of candles
on a table or
atop a piano will accent
the room with soft light. No matter your style, lighting
should be warm, inviting and comfy.
Cozy by the fi re. A lit fi replace warms any room and
creates an inviting atmosphere for family and guests alike.
If your home isn’t equipped with a fi replace, consider an
electric fi replace. They come in a variety of sizes, colours,
and styles and are easy to install.

your community.

Canadians are becoming more in-
terested in natural health products
(NHPs) as they look for ways to man-
age their own health. Over 75 per cent
of Canadians purchased natural health
products in the past year, according to
an Ipsos Reid study commissioned by
the Canadian Health Food Associa-
tion. “Canadian natural health prod-
ucts are recognized worldwide for
their safety, effi cacy and high quality
standards,” says Valerie Bell, presi-
dent of the non-profi t organization
that represents natural health retailers
and suppliers. The federal govern-
ment introduced new regulations in
2004 that require all NHPs to obtain
a product licence before they can be
sold in the Canada. The industry has
until January 2010 to ensure that all
existing products comply with the
regulations. Consumers will know
that the product has been reviewed
and approved by Health Canada when
it bears an eight digit product licence
number preceded by the distinct let-
ters NPN, or, in the case of a homeo-
pathic medicine, by the letters DIN-
HM. Products that fall within these
regulations include herbal remedies,
homeopathic medicines, vitamins,
minerals, traditional medicines, pro-
biotics, amino acids and essential
fatty acids. Manufacturers, packag-
ers, labellers, and importers also need
to be licensed. Their sites must have
systems and procedures in place to
ensure that the handling, storage and
delivery of their products comply
with good manufacturing practice re-
quirements (GMPs.) A survey done
by Health Canada last year indicates
the majority of Canadians agree that
NHPs can promote health or treat ill-
ness and think their use will increase
over the next 10 years. To fi nd out
more about natural health products,
visit your local health food retailer or
visit the Canadian Health Food Asso-
ciation website at www.chfa.ca.

[ Field hockey ]
Richardson loses
final pool game
AJAX — The J. Clarke Richard-
son Storm varsity girls’ field hockey
team went home early from the pro-
vincial high school championships in
Scarborough.
The Storm dropped their third
and final Pool ‘C’ contest to Bluevale
2-0 Friday morning, thus coming up
short of claiming one of the top two
spots to move into the playoffs at the
16-team Ontario Federation of School
Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Field
Hockey Championships at L’Amoreaux
Park.
On Thursday, the Storm posted
an 0-1-1 record, losing their first game
2-0 to Oakville Trafalgar. In Game 2,
Richardson played to a scoreless tie
with Robert McCrae from Ottawa.
[ Hockey ]
Lightning midgets
tame Wildcats
DURHAM — The Durham West
Lightning midget ‘B’ girls’ rep hockey
team captured the ‘B’ division ban-
ner at the recent Toronto Aeros Fu-
ture Stars Tournament after taming
the Windsor Wildcats in the final.
The Lightning lost to the same
Wildcats team earlier in the tourney,
but rebounded to score a narrow
3-2 victory. Samantha Switzer,
Shannon Stoute and Ainslea Hughes
scored, with assists to Jaymee
Gooding, Carlee Black and Stoute.
Goaltender Melissa Nicholls
made key saves during the final and
throughout the tournament.
The Lightning advanced to the
finals after a 2-1 semifinal win over
the Cambridge Roadrunners. Nata-
sha Alli and Julia Mooney notched
goals. Stoute had two assists.
Durham West opened round-
robin play with a 6-0 shutout win
over the Syracuse Stars. Mooney
and Black notched two goals apiece;
Switzer and Jennifer Masterton
added singles. Switzer recorded
three assists, with two each to Alli
and Gooding, and singles to Katie
Lakics and Stoute.
In Game 2, the Lightning were
upset 4-1 by the Windsor Wildcats,
mostly due to the hard forecheck-
ing of the Windsor players. Jennifer
Convery scored the lone marker,
unassisted.
Durham West returned to form
in Game 3, scoring a 2-0 win over
the North York Rangers. Masterton
and Stoute scored, with assists to
Black, Lakics and Carly Stacey.
Solid efforts by forwards
Ashley Gaudet, Lauren Sears and
defencemen Jennifer Smith and Kai-
tlyn Cardy ensured the Lightning’s
tournament victory.

legiate winning the senior boys’
team trophy. Eastdale Collegiate,
another Oshawa school, was suc-

Pickering Panthers deal pair of rookie rearguards
Bouillion to Fury;
Gour to Attack
PICKERING — With excess
players on the blue-line, the
Pickering Panthers dealt two of
its young defenceman to confer-
ence rivals this week.
Citing a numbers game that
left too many defencemen vying
for too little ice time, Panthers
general manager Frank Robin-
son sent rookie rearguard Nate
Bouillion, a Whitby resident, to
the Durham Fury. As well, the
Panthers dealt another rookie
defenceman, Chris Gour, to the
Ajax Attack.
Both were cash deals, with no
other players coming back to the
Panthers.
The moves were expedited, ex-
plains Robinson, with the return
of veteran defenceman Kevin
Huinink to the lineup. Huinink
had missed approximately a
month of action with a broken
jaw. He returned to the active
roster on Friday night, in time for
the Panthers’ home date against
the Vaughan Vipers.
The Panthers also played
the Vipers on Saturday night in
Va ughan, with the results of both
games unavailable at press time
Friday.
Robinson says he hopes both
traded defencemen will be able
to get needed ice time with the
Fury and the Attack.
The Panthers now have six de-
fenceman on the roster, along
with forward Scott Brown who
can also be shifted to defence.

The greatest challenge for all compa-
nies today is to constantly change to meet
the changing needs of their customers.
RENOCanada™ (a new concept in
home improvement) has evolved from one
of Toronto’s best known plumbing busi-
nesses -- The Plumbing Mart.
They have updated and changed their
identity to better represent their expertise
and focus on quality home improvements.
Specializing in Bathroom and Kitchen
Makeovers, RENOCanada™ is a single
source for homeowners who want to improve
the quality of their life at home....without
moving. Their unique range of services and
experience makes renovation easy, practical
and affordable. The new Inspiration Centres,
currently being developed, will provide an
exciting and educational environment that
helps homeowners to visualize and plan
their dreams.
What has not changed is the com-
pany’s commitment to great service and
industry setting standards, like their fi ve
year warranty backed by the most experi-
enced renovation consultants and craftsmen
in the business. For thousands of local area
homeowners, it has always been the people
and personal attention that set this company
apart from other renovators.
RENOCanada’s staff understand reno-
vation from the customer’s perspective. They
know that home improvement is not about
the house, it’s about self improvement (Life-
style), it’s personal.
The company describes their primary
customers as “discerning” homeowners.
These are people that don’t necessarily have
big budgets but who feel that Bathrooms
and Kitchens need to be exciting regardless
of budget. They have higher expectations;
demanding seamless service from inspira-
tion to installation and an overall experience
that is hassle-free, educational and reward-
ing. Discerning customers don’t want to be
sold anything but want someone to act as an
“editor” helping them to make choices that
are right for them. They need to feel “in con-
trol” and want a service provider that will
empower them to get satisfaction.
The showroom is only 15 minutes
from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It’s a
short drive west on Hwy 401, south on Mc-
Cowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major
intersections to Midland and then just one
block north on the west side.
If you would like to understand how

They’re all teen
PICKERING — As part of their English course, Grade 7 and 8 students at William Dunbar Public School had a media component,
studying magazines and then producing their own. From left, Megan Keenan, Nikki Pedder and Lauren Scallen produced a magazine
entitled, ‘Everything Teen’, that included an article on how to start a band.
Salvation Army appeals
to Ajax, Pickering
for merry Christmas
Food, gifts sought
for annual drive
DURHAM — With Hal-
loween now a memory,
youngsters soon will start
looking toward to the ar-
rival of Santa Claus.
For some in the com-
munity, however, help is
needed to make Christmas
a merry one. Once again,
the Ajax-Pickering Salva-
tion Army is running its
Christmas Appeal Cam-
paign, collecting non-per-
ishable food, along with
new, unwrapped gifts for
children.
Dick Crosby, the com-
munity services co-ordi-
nator for the army, says
350 families were helped
during the Yuletide season
last year.
So far this year, 537 fam-
ilies and 241 singles, which
represent more than 2,000
people, including 800 chil-
dren, have been helped by
the Salvation Army.
Those seeking assistance
have to apply and appli-
cations can be filed start-
ing Monday, Nov. 6 at the
Salvation Army’s Family
Services Centre, 37 Kings
Cres., Ajax.
The office is open Mon-
days, Tuesdays and Thurs-
days from 10 a.m. to noon
and from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Applicants must live in
Ajax or Pickering, provide
proof of address, an in-
come statement, proof of
rent, lease or mortgage,
and identification showing
the date-of-birth of each
person living in the house-
hold.
N on-perishable food
items can include dry
pasta and sauce, powdered
milk, canned fruit, vegeta-
bles, meat or fish, stews,
jam, peanut butter, coffee
or tea, hamburger helpers,
fruit juices, soup, rice or
cookies.
Unwrapped, new toys
would be for children of
all ages. Each year, there’s
a shortage of gifts for older
youths, such as teenagers.
Gifts for them can include
clothing, sporting equip-
ment, make-up and per-
sonal appearance prod-
ucts, and CDs.
Volunteers and sponsors
are also being sought.
For more information, to
volunteer or sponsor, call
905-427-7123.

There’s a brand new community coming
to Pickering near Frenchman’s Bay that
will offer unprecedented lifestyle options.
With more than four acres of picturesque
parkland and gorgeous green space at its
heart, San Francisco By The Bay will rise
as the redevelopment of the Bay Ridges
Plaza at Bayly Street and St. Martin’s Drive
(west of Liverpool Road). Residents of the
new community will enjoy a high quality of
life in attractive, value-packed homes with
easy access to exciting retail venues, public
transportation and the highway. With the
Pickering GO Station and Highway 401 just
a few minutes away, the location is ideal for
commuters, wherever they work in the GTA.
This master-planned, pedestrian-friendly
and transit-friendly mixed-use community
is being created by partners Chestnut Hill
Homes, S & R Development Group Ltd. and
The Rose Corporation. The housing selec-
tion will include 121 townhomes plus two
residential condominium towers that share
a two-storey podium with approximately
25,500 square feet of retail-commercial
space including live-work units. This vital
retail space will be ideal for community
businesses and services such as a pharmacy,
veterinarian, video store, hair salon, dry
cleaners, pizza shop, fresh food market and
convenience store.
At 18 and 16 storeys, the striking towers
will have a total of 411 condominium suites.
Choose from tempting one- and two-bed-
room designs, many with dens. The fabu-
lous amenity area in the podium measures
in at approximately 12,500 sq. ft. and will
offer a state-of-the-art fitness complex with
an exercise room, indoor pool, party room
that opens onto a deck, multi-purpose room
and quiet reading lounge. Each townhome
will have two parking spots, and most town-
homes will feature a rooftop garden.
Environmentally, San Francisco By The Bay
will stand out as a model neighbourhood.
Pedestrian sidewalks and the proximity to
public transit and the highway will help to
reduce fossil fuel consumption. The devel-
opers have given approximately 1.5 acres to
the local Conservation Authority for public
parkland/open space and to preserve and
enhance the adjacent Douglas ravine. They
have also set aside an additional 2.61 acres
for the community’s landscaped park, green
space and playground.
San Francisco By The Bay is perfect for
first-time buyers, young families and
empty-nesters looking for exceptional value
in one of the GTA’s best locations.
Condos from the mid-$140s
Townhomes from the low $200s
