Church Street crosswalk is
for new school
Children attending the newly -opened
Lincoln Alexander Public School on Church
Street in .Ajax will be "walking the line" as
early as this week.
During a town council executive and
development meeting Sept. 10, members
approved establishing crosswalk lines across
the busy thoroughfare and will hire a
crosswalk guard to supervise it. Lincoln
Alexander School opened at the beginning of
the school year.
More than 100 youngsters cross Church
Street north of Sherwood Avenue to get to the
school. Currently a town employee is acting as
a crossing guard at this location. Town staff
met with school officials last week to
determine the most appropriate location for
crosswalk fines on Church Street.
Region Councillor Roger Anderson, the
executive and development committee
chairman, said immediate action by the town
was needed to ensure the safety of children in
the area.
'My biggest concern is that cars are using
this street as a major thoroughfare with
complete disregard for the posted speed limit,'
he told The Bar News.
Anderson said the committee opted to
establish the crosswalk immediately, rather
than wait for approval during Ajax council's
next meeting Sept. 21. 4L
Ajax employment learning
program is at HSS
(HELP) in Ajax is financed by Canada
employment and immigration, sponsored by
the Durham Board of Education and offered
at Harwood Secondary School, 80 Falby Ct.
HELP is aimed at developing people's skills
and increasing their education to improve
their employability. This is the fourth year of
operation for the program.
The program has two components —
academic and technical classes at Harwood,
plus job placement with an employer.
Students enrolled in HELP have the
opportunity to secure six secondary school
credits.
Eligible students get an allowance
throughout the year. They are allowed to hold
a part-time job up to 24 hours a week without
losing any of their HELP training allowance.
HELP runs from Oct. 5 through to June.
The recruiting/intake process has begun.
Anyone interested should contact Gail Martin,
administrative assistant, at 683-8125, Monday
to Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm.
HMS Ajax veteran plants
tree Sept, 25
Bill Swanston of Edinburgh, Scotland, will
visit Ajax Sept. 25.
Swanston is a veteran of HMS Ajax and was
a member of the crew on board at the Battle of
the River Plate. The town was given its name
from the HMS Ajax following that ship's
successful involvement in the battle.
Since adopting the name Ajax, the town
named nearly all its streets after the officers
and crew who were serving on HMS Ajax at
the battle. Swanston Crescent was so named.
Ajax
Mr. Swanston has been invited to plant a
tree on Swanston Crescent (near 41) Sept. 25
at 6:30 p.m. Swanston Crescent is south off
Rands Road, east of Finley Avenue, in the
south end of Ajax.
Following the tree planting ceremony,
Swanston will be invited to meet members of
the Royal Canadian Legion, Ajax Town
council, staff of the town, the Ajax Historical
Board and residents at an open house hosted
by the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 322,
III Hunt Street.
Swanston is originally from Eyemouth,
Berwickshire, Scotland, and joined the Royal
Navy at age 16. He served on HMS Ajax from
1938 until 1942. He retired from the Royal
,Navy in 1959.
From 1959 until 1983 Swanston was a sales
manager for a wine and spirit company in
Scotland. He lives in Edinburgh.
While in Canada, Swanston is the guest of
Albert Large and wife Verona of Burlington.
Large was also a veteran of HMS Ajax. A tree
was planted in his honor in 1991.
For further information call the mayor's
office at 68345,0 between 8:30 am and 4:30
pm.
5 region agencies get
literacy grants
Ajax, Pickering and Whitby Association for
Community Living is among five Durham
Region social agencies receiving provincial
grants for adult literary programs this fall.

According to a press release from the
Province's education ministry, the money will
be used for adult literacy programs designed
to increase basic reading skills. Funds will
also be used for literacy resources and
learning material.
Receives fellowship for
gerontology studies
Katherin McGilton of Ajax has been
awarded the Royal Canadian Legion
Fellowship in Gerontological :Nursing to
pursue masters studies at the University of
Toronto. Her major field of interest is
gerontology.

health care facility. She hopes to improve the
quality of care to the elderly, particularly in
the acute-care setting.
The Canadian Nurses Foundation (LNF) is
a registered charitable organization which was
established in 1962 to provide nursing
scholarships, fellowships and research grants
to Canadian nurses. The funds for these
awards come solely from gilts, donations and

Hunch pays $146,000 for
lottery player
Pickering resident Jerzy Sleds admits he
had a hunch buying an additional three
lottery tickets in a Sept. 9 draw would pay
off. It did.
Sleds, 37, a production supervisor, won
$146,000 as the second prize in a Loto 649
draw after purchasing three 'quick pie'
tickets at the Pickering Town Centre mall. A
$5.5 million jackpot was an enticement Sleds
sin ly couldn't refuse.
'1 had three dollars left after picking up
some pictures I had developed. So I thought,
'why not',' he told The Bay Naos. 9 didn't
tell my wife at first because 1 knew she'd be
upset. I buy tickets every week.'
Sleds admits he's been buying lottery
tickets two times a week since coming to
Canada from Poland six years ago. He plays
the lottery every Wednesday and Saturday.
'The day 1 came to Canada I bought
tickets for the lottery,' he recalled with a
laugh. '1 don't spend moth money but I play
every draw.'
With his winnings, Sleds said he will put
some money towards his mortgage, spend
some on renovating his kitchen, buy a
sailboat and invest the rest.
lie :moved to Pickering three years ago.
Since then Sleds admits he's heard of a
number of local winners who've cashed in big
an lottery tickets.

New maternal, newborn
program at Centennial
Centenary Health Centre recently
introduced a new maternal and newborn
program to assist women with their pre -and -
postnatal care.
The program, the only one in
Scarborough, works in tandem with each
client's primary care giver and offers
improved coordination of care particularly
for high risk antenatal clients.
Registration interviews are conducted on
site at Centenary by the program
coordinator, Elisabeth Ball, a nurse clinician
in obstetrics.
'We have a better understanding of each of
our client's clinical and emotional needs and
can more easily secs:: the support networks
required whether they are linked to our
internal resources or those out in the
community,' says co-ordinator Ball.
During the interview, women are informed
about the availability of sibling, prenatal and
breastfeeding classes. Families are also
provided with information about infant
feeding and circumcision. They are
encouraged to discuss their plan regarding
these aspects of their care prior to admission.
Additional services available through
physician referrals include: genetic
counselling, diabetes information, social
work, home care, occupational therapy,
public health and paediatric consultations:
'one-stop shopping' so to speak.
The program benefits are twofold: women
are well informed of the available services
early in their pregnancy; the health centre is
able to facilitate better resource
management. Centenary can ensure
adequate staff to meet the number of births
in future months and can more accurately
monitor high-risk potentials.
Prenatal tours for families are also an
integral part of the program. These are
offered weekly on Tuesday and Thursday
mornings at 8. The times for the tours were
recently changed to meet the expressed needs
of the health centres clients.
For more information about the program,
or to book a tour, contact Elisabeth Ball at
281-7332.

Energy efficiency of homes improving
anadians have improved the
energy efficiency of their homes in
<< recent years by adding insulation,
installing draft proofing and
improving the efficiency of heating systems.
That helped them save on hydro bills.
Energy -conserving improvements have
resulted, in some cases, in unforeseen
problems like moisture build-up on windows
or in attics. Or even in inadequate
ventilation.
Thankfully there is an easy way to avoid
these problems. It is based on a professional
builder's theory — the house as a system.
This theory recognizes each house is a
dynamic and interactive system of heat, air
and moisture flows. Keeping these flows in
balance is a matter of ensuring that changes to
the house, like adding attic insulation and
draft proofing, do not adversely affect the key
determinants of the indoor environment such
as beating efficiency, humidity and ventilation
levels.
Approaching home improvements is
somewhat akin to looking before you leap. It
is a matter of using common sense and
anticipating how changes to your house will
affect the system of flows.
The manner in which the flow exchanges
occur depends on three things: the buikling
envelop or *bell; the mechanical systema; and
lifestyle.
A home's building envelope consist* of all
the exterior surfaces which separate the outer
from the inner environments. The heat, air
and moisture flowing through the building
envelope must be properly controlled to
ensure the optimum in comfort and efficiency.
Mechanical systems include the household
equipment and appliances which condition or
influence the home environment. Changes in
these may seriously affect the indoor
environment and energy flows.
Changes in lifestyle can also affect the
household. Depending on the changing needs
of the family, there may also be changes in the
thermostat settings and exhaust fan
operations. Both of these things can and will
affect the heat and air flows.
When deciding to make home
improvements, keep some things in mind.
Some helpful tips include making sure
contractors consider the impact of work on the
overall operation of the house. Ask them how
they plan to ensure the house flow systems will
continue to work.
Don't be surprised if your contractor talks
to you about areas outside his specialty. Good
contractors are concerned about the way their
work interacts with the test of the components
of your house.
Remember — you get what you pay for.
Quality work based on a careful assessment of
your home's requirements may mean higher
cost.
But that higher cost may be a wise
investment in the long run. Look for
contractors that have participated in training
programs sponsored by national industry
association& such as the National Energy
Conservation Association; the Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Condition* Institute;
and the Home Builders Association.
These programs help to train contractors
plan problem -free improvements.

Glaucoma causes 11 % of blindness
By Dr. Kevin Tybeti BSc,
OD
Many of us have heard the
word glaucoma but aredt sure
what it is or how it might affect
us.
Any comprehensive eye
examination should include
testing that will either confirm or
deny the diagnosis of glaucoma.
But what is it the doctor is
looking for?
Glaucoma is a group of oarlar
diseases that, in classic
presentation, has three
characteristics: .
One is an increase in pressure
within the eye. Tonometry is
the name given to the various
techniques used to measure the
pressure within the eye
(iitraoailar pressure).
Tonometry is performed
regularly as a simple, in -office
procedure. When the pressure
increases, the normal blood flow
inside the eye is disrupted
As the pressure increases, less
and less blood is able to make its
way through the retinal blood
vessels inside the eye.
The sections of the retina that
are cut off from blood flow
degenerate and die.
Another . glaucoma
characteristic is visible
pathological changes in the
retina. By looking inside an eye
that has glaucoma with an
instrument called an
ophthalmoscope, the doctor can
see visbie changes in the retina.
Specifically, most of the
changes are seen at the spot on
the retina where the optic nerve
enters the eye.
The last glaucoma identifier is
visual field defects. An eye that
suffers from glaucoma and is not
treated will have a progressive
reduction in -peripheral vision.
As the disease progresses,
more of the peripheral vision
will be permanently reduced.
The visual field gets smaller and
smaller so that "tunnel vision"
occurs.

If left untreated, the visual
field continues to get smaller and
can lead to total blirxlness.
Regrettably, glaucoma is not a
rare disease. In the United
States, glaucoma is responsible
for about 11 per cent of
registrations with blindness
agencies.
About 0.50 per cent of the
general population under 65
years of age is affected while 1
to 3 per cent of the population
over 70 years is affected.
Although the risk of glaucoma
increases with age, recent
studies suggest it is not age itself
which causes glaucoma.
Rather, specific changes in
cardiovascular parameters that
may occur with age seem to be
determinate (e.g. blood
pressure, heart rate and others).
Many studies have indicated a
greater incidence in black
populations than in white
populations.
Although the specifics of
genetic transmission haven't
been determined yet, different
studies propose a 4 to 40 per
cent risk of glaucoma in first-
degree relatives to people who
have glaucoma.
There are also particular eye
conditions which can increase
the risk of glaucoma.
Most glaucomas are
successfully managed with
medication. The underlying
disease often can't be aced.
But daily use of eye pressure
reducing drops helps to keep the
pressure down and prevent or
slow the progression of the
disease. In some cases
conversional surgery is required.
Over the past five to 10
years, laser surgery has also
become a useful treatment for
certain types of glaucoma.
In about 80 per cent of cases,
the onset of glaucoma is slow
and painless. The affected
person has no idea he or she is
suffering from a disease that can
cause blindness.
In these cases, if the disease is
not detected through routine eye
exams, the affected person may
not notice any symptoms until
the "tunnel -vision" is quite
advanced and damage to the eye
has been extensive.
In about 20 per cent of cases,
the person will have an episode
of a red, intensely painful eye
and blurred vision that causes
them to see an eye doctor
immediately.
When cells in the retina are
killed by glaucoma they can
never be revived or replaced.
The damage is permanent.
The best philosophy then is
regular eye examinations. An
examination once a year will
help to reveal any signs of the
disease.
The doctor may measure the
pressure inside the eyes and
assess your visual field if there
are any suspicious signs noted.
These simple, painless tests
may help to detect glaucoma
before it causes serious
impairment.

Lower Denture
«: Stability
Many dental patients
suffer with dentures that
slip, slide and shift.
Unstable dentures make
speech difficult and
proper mastication of
food almost impossible.
It doesn't have to be this
way! The result of over
five years of development,
the Myoloc' system is the
truly affordable route to
stable lower dentures for
virtually every edentulous
patient and it eliminates
the need for messy
adhesives. The stabilizers
are completely invisible.
The Myoloc' system
offers your edentulous
patients an immediate
improvement in: lower
denture retention,
stability, speech,
mastication, elimination
of "clicking" sounds and
decreased food
entrapment.
A non-surgical
procedure!
And it is non irritating
and non interfering to the
wearer. This Canadian -
made and designed
MyolocT` system has three
years of clinical testing
and has proved
remarkably effective for
lower denture wearers.
For more information
please arrange a free
consultation with your
Myoloc"" expert, Walter
J.Wimmer, D.T., 420-
5020.
LOWER DENTURE STABILITY
The Myoloc"m System
