While Cpl. Dunnett was over- seas in a “totally different world,” away from the comforts of home, and in an atmosphere where some of his friends died, his stay was made more pleasant by the letters and gifts sent to him by students at the Ajax school. On March 7, he dropped into the Grade 4 class to personally thank them, dressed in his camouflage attire. Earlier in the year, he also phoned them from Afghanistan. “Those prayers and poems they sent... it’s something you see back home, it’s like wow,” said Cpl. Dunnett, who is staying with fam- ily in Oshawa while on a month’s vacation. His second-cousin, Gaelen Cook, is in the Grade 4 class, and since September students have prayed every morning for Cpl. Dunnett’s safe return. At Christ- mas, they sent him a package with gifts and letters. “Did you use the stuff we sent?” asked one student. “Yeah, the whoopee cushion - who sent the whoopee cushion?” replied Cpl. Dunnett, causing the kids to erupt in laughter. Another student asked how he was picked to go to Afghanistan. “I volunteered to go,” said Cpl. Dunnett. “Sometimes you wish you didn’t go.” During his six and a half months overseas, he did a lot of security, road building, and constructing mini bases to make it faster and safer to travel. He also handed out stuff to the locals, such as soccer balls sent by Canadians. “Show them we care, we’re not afraid of them,” said Cpl. Dun- nett. Being able to make the area a better place and seeing kids safely walk the streets are some of the highs he felt. The lows: “Watching your friends be killed,” said Cpl. Dunnett. His first few months in Afghani- stan were spent clearing areas of “bad guys,” during which time 18 soldiers in his battle group were killed.

The finance minister said he emphasized the plight of lower- income Canadians, including se- niors, students and persons with disabilities. “It was the fact that many of those people aren’t as mobile,” he explained. “For instance, students at university may have access to only one bank machine on cam- pus.” If the automated teller machine (ATM) isn’t from their home bank, they could be charged $1.50 or more to use it, he said. Mr. Flaherty said he’d rather not resort to the Bank Act, which gives the federal government power to force an end to ATM fees. “I believe in competition and choice,” he said. “I see it in credit unions that don’t charge ATM fees and I’d like to see banks look at that. “I don’t want to regulate the day-to-day financing decisions of banks. That’s really for them to do.” Some critics have argued banks will charge more for other services if ATM fees are scrapped. Mr. Flaherty said while Canadians have to rely on banks to be “forth- right,” a good deal of responsibility also falls on the consumer to make informed decisions about service fees. Nor did he expect lowering or scrapping ATM fees to interfere with community grants and dona- tions often offered today by Cana- dian banks. “If you look at the banks all of them have recently posted large quarterly profits,” the minister pointed out. “All of them are doing well.” ATM withdrawals from other banks is free in countries like Brit- ain, the Netherlands and Ireland. -- with files from Torstar Have your photo taken with the Easter Bunny.

The executive committee carried a motion to bring the plan to council, since it decides whether the heritage permit applica- tion is approved. Concerned Whitevale residents returned to City Council on March 5 for one more attempt to ‘keep the heritage-feel of the community.’ Since Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, who sits on the heritage com- mittee, was not present at the executive committee meeting, and because the committee is rather new, he deferred the matter to the March 19 council meeting. The heritage permit application was first submitted on Aug. 3, 2006. Coun. Johnson explained the municipal elec- tion caused the Heritage Advisory Committee to dissolve in November. Therefore, the process hasn’t been guided by one specific body. “The committee never really had the opportunity to sink its teeth into it,” he said in an interview. Whitevale is recognized as a heritage conservation district under the Heri- tage Act. In fact, the ministry of municipal affairs and housing recognizes White- vale contains the largest collection of heritage features with historic signifi- cance in Pickering. The Whitevale con- servation heritage district guide states new buildings should be compat- ible with adjacent properties and the streetscape. The heritage committee has deemed the property too large and modern to fit in with the other homes in Whitevale. Barry Bethune lives next door to the property. He said since the last owners of the property were neglectful, he likes the idea of a home being built. “But this one is going to be very large and right next door,” he said. Mr. Bethune has lived in Whitevale for 17 years and said he moved there because of the hamlet’s unique historic atmosphere. “Everyone who’s here feels the same way,” he said. “People only move here if they want the community feel.” But, the City’s planning and devel- opment department recommended approval of the permit. Director of planning and development Neil Car- roll said he is supportive of the home being built. “(The applicant) already has a build- ing permit,” he said, “but we can’t issue it until the heritage matter is ap- proved.” Lloyd Thomas, president of the Whitevale and District Residents’ As- sociation, said the lack of information provided to residents about the home was the biggest problem. “It’s almost like they were hiding it,” he said. Mr. Thomas said when he renovated his garage, the community was noti- fied. However, City Clerk Debi Bentley said the City has no obligation to notify residents of building proposals. Coun. Johnson said he has sched- uled a meeting between three heritage committee members. The developer has been invited, and Coun. Johnson hopes he will attend so they can re- solve the matter.

Talking to your child about the report card; and mak- ing the most of your parent- teacher interview Whether you are pleasantly surprised or very disappointed with this report card, you’ll want to have a discussion about the results, both with your child and with the teacher. The re- port card postmortem is part of a larger support strategy that makes you an active participant in your child’s education. Make the most out of your re- port card chat. Here are some guidelines to ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible, es- pecially if you are in the disap- pointed-parent category. Sit down together. Don’t talk about the report card in the ga- rage while you child is lacing up his rollerblades. Remove distractions and fo- cus on each other — T.V. off, no Game Boy or iPod! Make a statement of intent. Tell your child up front that you need to have a talk about the report card. Start by saying something positive. You can get off on the right foot by highlighting some- thing positive about the report card, no matter how trivial. Review learning strengths. Say something like, “You are still doing great in math, which is awesome.” Recognize the struggle (1). Listen to your child, and include his or her thoughts, comments, and worries in the discussion. Recognize the struggle (2). Say something like, “I see that you’re still having trouble with spelling.” Listen to the complaints. Chil- dren who have the most issues are usually the most vocal. End with op- timism. Make a comment like this: “There’s still plenty of time for improvement, and we’ll work together to make the necessary changes.” End with a plan. Identify the follow- ing before you leave the table: your role in help- ing with school, your child’s role, and what the next steps are. You’ve got your plan of action identifi ed: Now do it! After the important report card discussion comes the par- ent-teacher conference. It’s a key step in the partnership be- tween you, your child, and your child’s education. Often, it can give you insights into your child’s behaviours and weaknesses — things that be- come evident when he or she is away from home and family members. Here are some tips on how to make the most of the parent-teacher interview: Be prepared. Bring your child’s report card with you, and know all the details. If relevant, bring last year’s report cards as well. If your child has a grade that doesn’t seem in sync with test marks or project scores, then bring an assignment along as well. Ask your child for insights. “What do you think your teacher will say about you?” is a ques- tion that might eliminate any po- tential surprises. After all, your child spends several hours a day with his teacher. Write a list of questions to ask. There is only one teacher and many parents, so your time with the teacher is limited. If you run out of time, you can leave the list with the teacher, or save it to refer to next time. Take notes. Don’t be confronta- tional. A harmonious at- mosphere in the spirit of partnership in your child’s education isn’t aided by tension. Leave on a high note. Say, “Thanks for taking the time to talk with me!” Sample Questions • What is the key area that [Tom] is strong in? • Where does [Sarah] need to improve? • What can we do to help [An- drew] achieve improvement? • As [Mary’s] teacher, what can you do to initiate improve- ment?

Pickering council’s decision to explore the possibility of a public and private ban on the use of pesticides is a welcome initiative. Green Communities of Canada states, ”Many common pes- ticides used in the home and garden pose significant human health risks.” A study by the Ontario College of Family Physi- cians states that Canadian children face ”undeniable risks” from exposure to pesticides. “Children... are exposed to greater quantities of pesticides than adults, and are more vulnerable to their toxic effects. A National Cancer Institute survey in the U.S. indicated that children are six times more likely to get childhood leukemia when pesticides are used .... Some pesticides used on urban lawns have the potential to disrupt human hormone and endocrine systems. This disruption has been linked to de- creased immune system function, alterations to the brain and reproductive system, behavioural changes ..., and increased susceptibility to breast and testicular cancer.” Every day we delay increases the risk to ourselves, our children, our pets and to wildlife in our community. The risks clearly outweigh the benefits and our council members need to take firm and immediate action on this issue.

The committee, in partnership with the Cath- olic and public school boards, held the contest to get students involved in race relations, and boy did they ever. Apart from some atrocious spelling, many of the stories and poems had some great ideas on how to stamp out prejudice, while others wrote about experiences they, or a friend, had just because their skin is a different colour. One story had someone pointing a gun at another person, another story noted a white person wouldn’t be a friend to a black person because of skin colour. An- other talked about being called names and taunted because of a different skin colour. I had thought those sentiments disap- peared years ago but they still exist. When I first came to Canada from North- ern Ireland I was terrified I would be beat- en up because I was Catholic. That was a normal part of my upbringing in Belfast, but that prejudice never once reared its ugly head and I have always been thankful my parents got me and the rest of our fam- ily out of that hostile environment. But, from the stories I read during that week, some kids still face being picked on and beaten because they are seen as differ- ent. However, the stories weren’t all sad. For every one which had me shaking my head in disgust, there was a story of inclusion and lots and lots of ideas on how racism can be eradicated. One popular idea was to have a day in school where different cultures are cel- ebrated through food, clothing and music. Another idea was to form clubs where dif- ferent events are promoted to show how people all over the world are the same despite the colour of their skin. It’s nice to know today’s students are able to see past what a person looks like on the outside to discover just what is on the inside. To view the winning entries in this year’s competition, check out the City’s website at cityofpickering.com and click on the news and announcements link.

Mike Johnston managing editor EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com ATM fee cut fair to customers When J.M. Flaherty speaks, the banks had better listen. That’s James Michael Flaherty, better known as Jim, Canada’s finance minister. The Whitby-Oshawa MP, the second-most powerful man in the federal government, had a sit-down with Canada’s five major banks last week to tell them he felt the automated teller (ATM) fees they charged are too high. It’s hard to side with the banks on this one. Mr. Flaherty has at his disposal plenty of public frustration over the high cost of the fees which can range from $1.50 to $2.50 per transaction, depending upon whether other financial institutions are involved. The banks are raking in multi-billion dollar annual record- breaking profits. Reports also suggest Canada has some of the highest ATM fees in the entire world. With the prevalence of ATMs all over the country and branches closing down, con- sumers are more reliant on the machines than ever. Mr. Flaherty, who has the Bank Act at his disposal if he wishes to force the institutions to legally make changes, has said he would rather they be self-regulating. His hope is that simple, straightforward competition will encourage banks to battle each other to offer lower fees in a desire to draw more custom- ers. It will take at least one of the Big Five to make the first move to offer substantially lower rates -- and to broadcast that move loudly and widely to make sure plenty of people know it. Before long, maybe, just maybe, the lower-fee charging banks will see customers come flocking to them as they try to offer a better deal. You can bet that if it costs the banks money and eats into their profits, they’ll try to find a way to chop ATM rates. Some argue that a reduction in ATM rates will merely in- crease other banking fees. That will be an issue bank presidents and shareholders will have to deal with. In the meantime, ATM rates hurt all Canadians but especially lower-income people disproportionately since the fees are the same no matter how big or small the transaction. A cut in the fees would be a fair way of treating the most important aspect of any bank’s business: its customers. Students show they can make a difference in their communities “Stuff like that is the stuff you try to forget about,” said Cpl. Dunnett. More rebuilding efforts occurred during the second half of his tour, al- lowing it to end more positively. Sometimes the news only shows the bad going on in Afghanistan, but there’s a lot of good being done there as well, said Cpl. Dunnett. “We are over there helping, trying to rebuild schools, roads, handing out water,” he said. During his visit to Pickering Chris- tian School, he showed pictures taken in Afghanistan, including a donkey bought from a farmer who abused it, a view through night vision goggles, thermometers reading 50 degrees Cel- sius, a snake, kids, a donkey pulling a loaded cart of family possessions, and other soldiers. “Wow that’s a sweet gun!” yelled an excited student. Another picture showed some sol- diers looking for mines in tall grass. “Cool,” said one kid. “No that’s not cool,” said another. “Who won (the war)?” asked a stu- dent. “We’re trying to not win, but to make it better and safer,” said Cpl. Dunnett. Other pictures showed soldiers hold- ing signs for the Toronto Maple Leafs, tanks, a Christmas dinner of barely cooked chicken, and what was con- sidered a good dinner of chicken and fries. Cpl. Dunnett said most of their meals came in bags containing a metal container they boiled to heat. “I’m sure you guys probably had a better dinner than us,” he said. “I ate it though, it’s a Christmas dinner.” Cpl. Dunnett said he likes talking to kids, and added they ask questions most people wouldn’t. “Questions like when you get shot does blood come out,” he said. “Little kids, they don’t care, if they have a question they ask.” His tour of Afghanistan is complete now, but he might go back next sum- mer, he said. At 24 years old, Cpl. Dun- nett has been in the army for five years and plans to stay until the end of his career, only 15 years away. He goes back to Petawawa for training at the end of March. The children were also given ‘sup- port our troops’ dog-tags for Cpl. Dun- nett to sign. “I think it’s a privilege to meet a sol- dier in the army; it’s really exciting to meet a solder that’s been fighting and everything - it’s cool,” said Tomi Sami, a student in the class. “I’m going to remember him and pray for him.” OPEN HOUSE SECTION Looking to Buy?

Pickering Nuclear has lots of activities to keep kids busy during March Break Schools to emphasize reducing barriers DURHAM — Remov- ing attitude barriers is the emphasis of the 2006/2007 Durham District School Board accessibility plan. Special education officer Doug Crichton presented the plan to the board’s standing committee on March. 5. According to a staff report, the focus is on the continued removal of attitude barriers, such as stereotypes, discrimina- tion, and biases, which could reduce participation opportunities for those with disabilities. “Learning more about a disability can alleviate fears and pave the way to attitudinal barrier removal which benefits all people,” said Mr. Crichton, chair- man of the accessibility working group. Employee groups and stakeholders will be trained in a presentation from two different local associations for people with disabilities. The sessions are intended to provide information and promote awareness, un- derstanding, and reference the Durham District School Board’s accessibility hand- book. Some of the board’s re- cent barrier removal ac- tions included training em- ployee groups on the ac- cessibility handbook which emphasizes referring to the person first rather than the disability. Various schools had automatic door open- ers installed, elevators, ramps, wheelchair accessi- ble washrooms and desig- nated parking spots added. The board is also sup- porting the Ontario Special Olympics Spring Games, to be hosted in Durham from May 29 to June 1, 2008. “Students from Durham District School Board will be supporting the aware- ness and fundraising efforts leading up to the games and will provide volunteers to work at the games,” said Mr. Crichton. The board also provides communication support for students and staff with disabilities, such as braille keys and computer-assisted devices. It’s working with the Associations for Com- munity Living as well, and with Donald A. Wilson Sec- ondary School in Whitby to develop a video to sup- port inclusion practises of those with high needs. When the accessibility plan is approved by the school board, it will be posted on the board’s website, www. durham.edu.on.ca. 905.576.6712 905.420.6588 905.619.2529 905.697.2856 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DURHAM REGION SENIOR CENTRES -07&-054-07&-054-"6()0'5&/-"6()0'5&/ -*7&8&---*7&8&-- 50+50+ SHOWSHOW 4th Annual this year at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group presents: 2 DAYS OF FUN!

If it isn’t fun it’s not for her The Spring edition of her is aimed at women of all ages. Don’t miss this great opportunity to promote your business in a fun and entertaining feature! Don’t miss her in your newspaper Sunday, March. 25, 2007 To advertise in this feature contact Susan Fleming at 905-683-5110 x231 (MS) - Heart disease has long been known as a deadly killer, that comes in a variety of forms - be it a heart attack, stroke or an assortment of other heart ailments that can be deadly. What might surprise most people, however, is with the prevalence of heart disease among women. In the minds of many, heart disease is something only men need to be concerned about. Many people feel this way because a father, brother or husband suffered a heart attack. However, heart disease knows no gender when it strikes and actually claimed nearly 200,000 more female lives than breast cancer in the United States in 2003. Despite the staggering numbers of female lives heart disease claims each year, a 2003 American Heart Associa- tion survey of 1,000 women revealed that only 13 percent of women in America believed that heart disease and stroke were the greatest health threat to their lives. To put that survey in another perspective, 87 percent of women were unaware of the truly dangerous waters they might be in. Whether you’re a woman in the clear mi- nority or overwhelming majority with respect to knowledge about heart disease, consider the following risk factors and be sure to consult a physician. · Your risk gets greater as you get older. Though heart disease and stroke can strike at any time, the risk gets signifi cantly greater as a person ages. In 2003 alone there were over 45 million women were over the age of 50, meaning a signifi cant portion of the female popula- tion was in a high-risk age group. · Type 2 diabetes puts more women at risk than men. Type 2 diabetes is a strong contributing risk for heart dis- ease in women, more so than it is for men. This heightens the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and a regu- lar exercise regimen for women, as both of these greatly reduce a person’s risk of contracting type 2 diabetes. · Cholesterol levels affect women, too. Another common misperception is that cholesterol is something only men need to be concerned about. Not true, says the American Heart Association. In fact, low levels of HDL (high density lipoprotein, commonly referred to as “good” cholesterol) are a stronger predictor of death in women than in men. That suggests that regular visits to your physician to get your cholesterol levels checked are actually more important for women than for men. · Who you are plays a role. The risk of developing heart disease is greater for those people who have a family history of heart disease or stroke. While heredity plays a role, so does race. African Americans need to be especially aware of their risk. In addition, Mexican Americans and American Indians are more prone to heart disease than Caucasians. While heredity and race are certainly uncontrollable risk factors, both should heighten a person’s awareness as to their risk and lead to frequent visits to the physician. Also, such a susceptibility means African Americans and other minority groups need to pay even more attention to other risk factors. 6868 degreedegree nailsnails Looking for a special way to treat yourself? • Nails • Waxing • Threading • Facials • Piercing 68 Degree Nails 905-683-7546 68 Harwood Ave, Ajax white & pinkwhite & pink nailsnails NEWNEW HARWOOD AVE.401AJAX PLAZA ACROSS FROM LIBRARY Gift Certifi cates Now Available!

With summer just around the corner people are looking for quick fi xes to morph their pudgy appearance into that healthy, toned fi t look we all crave. Unfortunately, there are no short cuts to getting fi t and healthy, but it’s probably easier than we think. You can make the right start today by following these three key steps to health and fi tness from the healthy eating experts at Ryvita, leaders in whole grain rye foods. According to www.ryvita.com the three steps to healthy living are: eat well, get active and keep energy levels up. Eat Well • The Canada Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends we eat a variety of foods. • Choose whole grain and enriched products. • Eat more vegetables and fruit. • Choose lower-fat dairy products more of- ten. • Choose leaner meats, poultry and fi sh as well as beans, dried peas and lentils. • Limit salt, alcohol and caffeine. • Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight by enjoying regular physical activity and healthy eat- ing. Get Active Regular exercise not only makes you feel energetic, it will help you improve muscle tone and body shape, control blood pressure and reduce stress levels. Aim for 60 minutes of physical activity daily to stay healthy or im- prove your health. As you progress to moder- ate activities you can cut down to 30 minutes, four days a week. Add-up your activities in periods of at least 10 minutes each. It’s im- portant to start slowly and build up as you go. This activity doesn’t have to be diffi cult, try to build them into your daily routine: • Walk whenever you can - get off the bus ear- ly, use the stairs instead of the elevator. • Reduce long periods of inactivity, like watching TV or surfi ng the internet. • Stretch and bend for a few minutes every hour. • Every little bit helps, but more is even bet- ter. Keep energy levels up Everybody snacks. Snacks can be fun and healthy; it just depends on what foods you choose. Make your snack choices from healthy food groups mentioned in “Step 1”. • Think of healthy snacks as mini-meals. Snacks are meant to tide you over, not re- place a meal. So it’s important to keep the portion size small. • Vary the snacks each day. • Choose snacks that pack a lot of nutrition such as low fat yogurts, Ryvita Whole Seed Crispbreads, hummus and fruit/vegetable juice boxes. • Always satisfy your thirst. Choose water of- ten and be sure to drink more in hot weather or when you are very active.

Often times this winter, the new president of General Motors Canada has watched kids strap on their skates and play hockey on the frozen parts of Lake Ontario. “I thought that was only in postcards,” he says with a smile. “But they’re out there and it’s real.” The Colombian-born execu- tive arrived in Oshawa in balmy August, replacing Michael Grimaldi at the helm of one of GM’s largest national divisions. Charged with leading GM Cana- da through the North American Turnaround Plan, Mr. Elias has quite the challenge in front of him: increase profitability and stem the loss of market share. Sitting in his third-floor office at the GM Oshawa headquar- ters, he seems comfortable in his new surroundings and con- fident in his ability to meet that challenge. “C oming out of 2005, which was a really difficult year for General Motors, we’ve been working hard to get our story out about the really good things that are happening here,” he said, citing the company’s focus on product renaissance, environ- mental strategies and improve- ments in efficiencies as the top factors that will revamp General Motors in 2007 and beyond. A 29-year GM veteran, Mr. Elias continues to have unshak- able confidence in the compa- ny’s ability to adapt and survive. And he has seen the business from almost every perspective. In November 1978, Mr. Elias joined GM’s Delco Electron- ics in Cocomo, Indiana, as a manufacturing engineer. He was fresh out of school, having just acquired a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering followed by a master’s degree in indus- trial engineering from Purdue University. A few years later, through the GM Fellowship program, he headed back to school -- this time receiving an MBA from the University of Chicago. “That started the change because after that I wanted to work on the finance side,” he said. He spent the next 17 years travelling around the world working for GM in various finance positions, in vehicle development and eventually in management. In 2001, he was named president of GM Mexico. “So I went from an engineer to a finance guy to general manag- er to vehicle development and then again back to general man- agement,” he said, sum- ming up his whirlwind career. “They’ve all been very exciting and differ- ent. But I never thought I’d get to this point.” He credits his rise to the top at General Motors to hard work and luck. “I just try to do my job and I’ve been lucky that I’ve had some great coaching and some great people working with me,” he said. Speaking with Mr. Elias, it is easy to see that his greatest strength is his ability to engage those around him. “When you manage a large company like GM Canada, you have to rely on the folks who work for you,” he said. “You have to have the right people, the right teams and give them the right motivation.” His own motivation for accept- ing the job in Canada was both professional and personal. “From a professional stand- point, it gives me the opportuni- ty to be part of the North Ameri- can turnaround,” he says. “I was part of it in Mexico, but I think there is a significantly higher level of integration between the United States and Canada.” And after five years of living in bustling Mexico City, where Mr. Elias always had to be accompa- nied by a bodyguard, the peace- ful existence of his home in Whitby offers the busy executive and his family a nice change of pace. “My wife is absolutely thrilled to be here,” he said. “She enjoys going for walks in the snow with our seven-year old daughter.” As for the president himself? “Well, I was born in the Carib- bean in the north part of Colom- bia, so I tend to think that the warmer, the better,” he says. But despite the frigid air and the mounting challenges of the job, the globe-trotting executive seems to be content right where he is. “There is something to be said for snow and cold weather,” he concedes, adding that he recently attended his first NHL hockey game and hopes to one day gather enough courage to learn to skate. “Canada is a very beautiful country. The folks are very nice and it is safe,” he says. “In Spanish we have a word for it: Tranquilo.” GM Canada chief has world-wide perspective Arturo Elias finds challenge and tranquility in Durham By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com For more on this story Walter Passarella/ Metroland Durham Region Media Group THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 11, 2007 PAGE 15 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 11, 2007 SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com Back online for another year... FROM THE NET OUTFROM THE NET OUT Durham Region’s junior hockey blog: catch the latest on all of the area’s junior hockey teams from our experienced team of sports writers and editors www.durhamregion.typepad.com/from_the_net_out/ Durham wrestlers dominant OFSAA By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Talk about making an impact. Or, in this case, an Im- pact. The common thread running through Durham’s dominating per- formance on the provincial mats of the OFSAA wrestling champion- ships is that all the medallists are members of the Team Impact Wres- tling Club. Kelita Zupancic, a Whitby All Saints student who trains with the Sinclair Secondary team, Randy Pfrimmer of Oshawa’s O’Neill Colle- giate and Paul Rabjohn of Ajax High School led the charge by winning gold at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations wres- tling championships in Brampton last week. Mike Murray of Oshawa’s Eastdale Collegiate and Rachel Lothman of Whitby’s Sinclair settled for silver, while Laura Steffler of Sinclair also brought home a medal by virtue of her fourth place finish. “To be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve seen anybody (from Dur- ham) medal at OFSAA that hasn’t been a member of our club,” says Pickering High School’s Stan Tzogas, who’s been a coach with Team Im- pact since 1990. “The challenge for people who didn’t medal (and aren’t part of the club) is they’re not quite getting enough quality training part- ners and competitions. They don’t have enough people to push them.” Of course, it helps that there are some tremendous coaches in Lake Ontario Secondary School Associa- tion, such as Bill Walters, who heads up Sinclair’s team. Both Tzogas and Walters agree Zupancic is among the best they’ve seen. The Grade 11 student has won OFSAA gold in all three of her high school years after easily handling the competition in the 72-kilogram weight class. “Incredible,” is how Walters de- scribes Zupancic. “She didn’t even have a point scored on her all tour- nament. She is such a dominant ath- lete.” In fact, the only thing that might prevent Zupancic from becoming an Olympian in this sport someday is her devotion to judo, where she also dominates. “She’s everything you could ask for in an athlete,” says Tzogas. “She’s unbelievable, a very dominant per- former. A lot of her success in wres- tling comes from judo. I like to think of judo as wrestling with pajamas on.” Tzogas describes a similarly dominant performance from Pfrim- mer, who allowed only one point all tournament in the 67.5-kg division, and praised Rabjohn for moving up from the 72-kg class, which he won last year, to the more difficult 77- kg group. Both are Grade 12 stu- dents likely in their final year of high school. Of the silver medallists, Tzogas says both Murray, in the 95-kg class, and Lothman, in the 57.5-kg group, could just have easily won their championship bouts. “Mike was very close, he lost 1-0 (to Jeremey Latour of St. James) in the dying seconds,” Tzogas says. “He was right there, he could have won it.” As for Lothman, who’s in her second year of high school wres- tling, Tzogas says: “She could have wrestled that girl (Heather Wray of Montcalm) five times and probably win three. The other girl was just the better wrestler that day.” Other strong performances were turned in by Courtney Willett of Port Perry High School, a Grade 10 student who finished fifth among a much more experienced group in the 51-kg class, Jesse Mathews of Eastdale, who was fifth in the 89-kg group, and Liam Berry of Pickering High, who was sixth in the 83-kg division. Making a mark on the mats Panthers midgets g roove to silver at Motown Cup Pickering selects beaten by Michigan state champ in final PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers midget select ‘Red’ hock- ey team moved and grooved to a silver medal at the Motown Cup tournament in Detroit recently. The Panthers suited up in a six- team division of high school junior varsity teams, including a Michi- gan State champion. In the final, the Panthers squared off against the West Kent, Michi- gan Hawks, the defending state champions. Although Pickering held the Hawks to a 1-1 tie late in the second period, West Kent eventually broke the game open en route to a 6-1 win. Nick Librandi scored the lone goal for the Panthers, from Drew Crosby and Matt Savage. The Panthers advanced to the final after posting a 5-2 win over the Ann Arbor (Mich.) Wolves. The Panthers scored three unanswered goals in the final four minutes of the second period to put the semifinal contest on ice. Russell Blenkarn pounced on a rebound from his point position to open the scoring. Pat Farren added a pair of goals; Crosby and Kevin Baker rounded out the scoring. Josh Brown was solid between the pipes, collecting the win over Ann Arbor, yielding both Wolves’ goals on the power play late in the third period. The Pickering midgets kicked off the tournament with a 7-0 white- wash of the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Knights. Goalie David Warden back- stopped the team with a solid ef- fort for his first shutout of the sea- son. Spencer Cain led the scoring parade with two goals, with singles to captain Matt Savage, assistant captain Kyle Porter, assistant cap- tain Crosby, Farren and Librandi. The line of Savage, Librandi and Crosby were a force cycling the puck and each chipped in with two assists. Porter’s goal came off a blast from the point through a great screen of the Knights’ goalie by Dan Welsh. In Game 2, the Panthers lost 6-1 to the West Kent Hawks in a con- test which proved to be a preview of the final. Savage notched the lone marker on the power play, potting a rebound off a point shot from Jamie Shotlander. Needing a win to advance, and some help, the Panthers players put their game faces on in a domi- nating 8-2 performance over the Wildcats from Pittsburgh. Tyler Makos and Crosby led the team with two goals apiece. Porter, Baker with his first of the tournament, a short-handed effort, Galen Sleeth, and Kevin Pistchik rounded out the scoring. Savage continued his strong offensive effort with three assists and defenceman Ben Poce chipped in with a pair of assists. Sleeth and Cain were excellent on the penalty kills all night long. Welsh also picked up an assist on Porter’s opening goal. Warden was solid again in goal, posting a 1.00 goals-against aver- age for the round-robin portion of the tournament. On defence, Shot- lander, Porter and Pistchik were a physical force all night long. Coach Kevin Porter said after the game, “I could not be more proud of this fine group of young men. They demonstrated great grit and determination against quality teams to get to the final. It was a complete team effort with every single player contributing on the scoresheet.” Assistant coach Kevin McCoy noted, “The boys will long re- member their fine effort in Detroit where they displayed the type of hockey Canadians are known for.” Ron Pietroniro /News Advertiser photo LOSSA wrestlers Paul Rabjohn from Ajax High School, Randy Pfrimmer from O’Neill Collegiate, Mike Murray from East- dale, Rachael Lothman from Sinclair and Kelita Zupancic from All Saints, all won medals at the recent OFSAA champi- onships.

Orientation changes, campus links, and more included By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Shuttle buses between campuses, exploring international partnerships and a new mission statement are part of Durham College’s five-year strategic plan. The recently released plan, expanded from three years to five, includes: improved links between Durham College’s Whitby and Oshawa cam- puses; orientation changes; more job placements, bridg- ing with the University of On- tario Institute of Technology, and certifications, and a new mission statement, ‘The stu- dent experience comes first at Durham College’. Year one of the strategic plan begins in 2007/2008. “It’s very real, it’s not just an abstract document,” said Durham College president Leah Myers. She said one of the plan’s highlights is merging the school of applied science and technology with the Whitby Skills Centre on Champlain Av enue. The union will pro- vide more paths for students interested in the trades to pursue technological fields and bridge into UOIT pro- grams. The school is also looking at opportunities for program synergies at the two campus- es, she said. “I think there’s a lot more student services and ele- ments of the student experi- ence we can make happen at Whitby,” said Ms. Myers. A shuttle bus be- tween the two cam- puses could be in- troduced this September, she added. Whitby students would be able to take advantage of the athletic centre at the Oshawa campus while Oshawa stu- dents could use the equip- ment in Whitby. “I think it’s a natural evo- lution as the college grows,” said Ms. Myers, and added it flows from the mission state- ment. The strategic plan also includes promotion of its award-winning and unique programs, as well as ensuring graduates are employment ready. For fields that require cer- tification, the school is inves- tigating how much of it they can provide by graduation to make it easier for both stu- dents and employers. Some resources will also be devoted to market data collection and analyzing to ensure it stays on top of infor- mation. As a campus, Durham College is exploring inter- national opportunities, said Ms. Myers, who recently par- ticipated in Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s trade mission to India, a country changing quickly. “I think it’s fair to say their post-secondary sector isn’t keeping up with it,” she said. Biotech and skilled trades are some potential partnership areas. The college could ex- port its expertise to deliver programs in India, she said. “It allows us, it has the benefits of raising our pro- file... and it also has a busi- ness return to us,” she said. Such partnerships could offer exchange opportuni- ties for Durham students and faculty. “There’s actually real tan- gible benefits,” she said. Ms. Myers added it would also be a revenue opportu- nity to the college. Recently, she also visited China on behalf of Durham College. She said the country has some interest in send- ing students and faculty to Durham to learn, particularly about the skilled trades. “A g ain, China and India, two markets that are so hot,” said Ms. Myers. Students could see some of the strategic plan’s new initiatives in class next year, said Ms. Myers. “But this is building,” she added. “I want to be realistic, this is a five-year plan.” The plan will be updated throughout its five years with regular reports.

March is Problem Gam- bling Prevention Month, and the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) is visiting local gaming establishments with games and giveaways to raise awareness on youth betting. The group is at The Slots at Ajax Downs on March 15 and at Blue Heron in Scugog on March 16 from 5 to 9 p.m., as well as at bingo halls, tracks and other Ontario casinos. The visits are intended to provide parents with infor- mation on the signs of youth gambling problems and pre- vention methods. The $1.5- million awareness campaign also includes various adver- tisements and newspaper in- serts, funded by the ministry of health promotion. “Parents are concerned about their kids, they talk about sex, drugs and alco- hol, but they tend not to talk about gambling,” said Jon Kelly, CEO of the RGC. “We decided this month to focus on parents.” He said the council did a study about six months ago that showed about one third of 15- to 17-year-olds gamble, and some are probably learn- ing bad habits surrounding it as well. Only about four per cent of youth who bet do so online, said Mr. Kelly. “Compulsory gambling problems can cause severe disruptions for families... most people don’t think it can happen to them and yet our own research says one in 10 families are affected by it,” he said. About 3.5 per cent of adults have gambling prob- lems, he added. Although gambling in- creased significantly in the 1990s when many casinos opened, it’s plateaued since then, as have its associated problems, said Mr. Kelly. There are some signs to watch for and things people can do to prevent their kids from developing gambling problems, he said. “If young people see gam- bling or talk about it as a way to make money, not as enter- tainment, that’s often a sign that should be a red flag to parents,” he said. Others include if they be- come obsessed with watch- ing and talking about gam- bling, or “chase money” lost. “When we do studies of people with gambling prob- lems, the number one symp- tom almost all the time is try- ing to win their money back,” said Mr. Kelly. He said teenagers take risks and test their limits. Part of their natural exploration of the world includes gambling, but they need to ensure they’re not picking up any bad habits along the way. Resources for gambling problems include www.re- sponsiblegambling.org and www.friends4friends.ca. Mr. Kelly said Oshawa’s Pine- wood Centre also provides problem gambling coun- selling.

The University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology’s (UOIT) junior design team placed first and its senior design team came third at the Ontario Student Engineering Competi- tion, held recently in Ottawa. Last year, the school came third. “The results achieved by our students in the last two competitions are remarkable when you consider this is only UOIT’s fourth year of operation, meaning 2007 was the first time we were able to enter graduating students in the competition,” said Marc Rosen, dean of UOIT’s faculty of engi- neering and applied science. For its first-place finish, the junior team finished ahead of 14 other schools when presented with the task of moving a payload of peppercorns up a ramp and into a bucket sunk in the floor. The problem was applied to a real-life scenario where water would need to be transported up to an African village at the top of a large hill. The team featured Joel Courtney, Graham Kent, Nick Shopian, and Graeme Ackersviller. On the senior team, Mark Bernacki, Mike MacLeod, Matt Van Wieringen, and Ben Fa gan were asked to design and build a prototype of an autonomous vehicle that would patrol a makeshift city and detect and extinguish fires. UOIT’s prototype detected and extinguished all five fires on both of its demonstration attempts. The team placed third in a field of 15 schools. Engineering students place high in provincial competition DURHAM — A petition has been launched and a town hall meeting organized -- all in an effort to prevent deep cuts to addiction and mental health services at Lakeridge Health. Organizer Paul Taylor has invited local MPPs to the meeting, along with the likes of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and Health Minister George Smitherman. The meeting takes place Tuesday, March 20, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the CAW Local 222 hall, 1425 Phillip Murray Dr., in Oshawa. Mr. Taylor’s petition calls on the Province to fund Lakeridge Health’s $8-million short- fall outright, without any conditions. In order to receive the emergency funding, the Province has asked the hospital to reduce its operating expenses by $8 million, includ- ing cutting $3 million from programs like addiction and mental health services. Mr. Taylor, who suffers from severe depres- sion, said the cuts will be devastating for people like him who rely on regular psychia- trist visits and weekly group therapy sessions to cope.
