Two clinics are being offered by the health department for children to receive that second shot on Dec. 11 from 2 to 6 p.m. and Dec. 17 from 3 to 8 p.m. by appointment only at the health department in the Whitby Mall, 1615 Dundas St. E. “It’s recommended for children less than nine years of age who re- ceived a flu shot for the first time this year to receive a second vacci- nation at least four weeks later,” says Dr. Reynolds.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers plans to ask on Monday for preparation of a ‘Plan B’ac- commodation plan that would save four schools targeted for closure. And a senior board staff member says he’s already “looking at a number of scenarios” to make it work should the motion pass. Durham District School Board trustees are slated to approve an $89.05-million system-wide accommodation and school improvement plan Dec. 17. The draft plan presented by staff calls for seven school closures, a new high school in Whitby, a major addition to Uxbridge Secondary School, four new elementary schools and other additions. Trustee Demmers was the first board member to op- pose the draft plan and has circulated a motion to trustees he will introduce at Monday’s standing commit- tee meeting. It calls for the slated closures to be can- celled where the school community opposes them. “This motion is asking our staff to provide a Plan B that would enable four schools, Valley View, Epsom, Parkside and R. A. Hutchison (to remain open),” he said in an interview. Because the board has to run these schools efficient- ly, Trustee Demmers said staff would be asked to come up with viable options to increase their enrolment. Three other schools on the closure list, which already have the community’s blessing, would be shut down in his proposal. They are H.W. Knight and Cannington public schools in Brock Township, and Lord Durham Public School in Ajax. Trustee Demmers said Plan B would not replace, but build upon, the current draft.

During cross-examination of Danielle Bongard, lawyer Michael Block, representing Dwayne George of Pickering, accused the alleged victim of sending the “sexually suggestive pho- tographs” to his client last summer. “These are pictures of you, you sent them,” Mr. Block said. Ms. Bongard confirmed sending them, but said they were not nude shots. “Ms. Bongard, you have told (the court) stories of a man who brutally beat you, subjected you to all sorts of indig- nities and here you are in the most provocative way calling attention to yourself to this man,” Mr. Block said. Ms. Bongard also sent a letter to Mr. George while she was serving 10 days in jail in New York after getting caught try- ing to bring marijuana across the border. “Despite everything you alleged he put you through, at least six months after these events you’re still interested (in Mr. George)?” Mr. Block asked. “Yes I was,” Ms. Bongard replied. Mr. Block suggested the letter and pictures were meant to “tease” his client and accused Ms. Bongard of manipulat- ing police and the justice system. The 20-year-old mother of two earli- er testified she was taken from her town- house May 3, 2000 by Mr. George, 21, and Jason Brown-Campbell, 19, of Scar- borough, kicked in the head by Mr. George, who ripped out her eyebrow ring and shaved her head. She told court she was punched re- peatedly by Mr. George in a van driven by Jerome Brown, had a butcher knife stuck in her mouth by Mr. George and questioned about whether she cheated on him while he was in jail. (He had been released on charges of setting her apartment on fire and killing her cat –– charges were withdrawn after she re- canted her police statement, court heard.) Mr. George and Mr. Brown-Camp- bell have pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, break-and-enter, assault causing bodily harm and weapons of- fences. Mr. Brown, 20, also of Scarbor- ough, has pleaded not guilty to assault causing bodily harm. Mr. George is also accused of hold- ing Ms. Bongard’s head in the shower under scalding water May 2, 2000. Ms. Bongard refused to testify at a preliminary hearing in Montreal and kidnapping charges there were with- drawn, court heard. At a hearing in Oshawa on the Durham charges last year, she originally refused to testify and was jailed. Mr. Block suggested Ms. Bongard was anything but a “helpless victim. I don’t think you’re anybody’s pawn. You’re your own woman.” $299.00 PLUS GST PICKERING LOCATION: 1050 BROCK ROAD, UNIT 10 PICKERING, ON L1W 3X4 SCARBOROUGH LOCATION: 777 WARDEN AVE., SUITE 211 SCARBOROUGH ON.

ONE LOW PRICE!! pickeringtowncentre.com If those schools were taken out of the plan and remained open,Trustee Demmers said the board would lose about $7.7 million in provincial funding dollars. “That’s one school (project), so something has to give,” he said. Jack Massie, the board’s facilities services superintendent, in an interview said he’s “looking at a number of scenarios” based on the motion passing, which involve “basically chopping a project” out of the plan. However, Mr. Massie said the original draft plan remains his recommendation to trustees. He noted the board’s first accommodation plan, covering 1998 to the end of this year, was modified twice before being approved. Trustee Demmers has questioned spending $12 million in upgrades at Uxbridge’s only high school, suggesting that’s too much. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross on Tuesday night said he, too, has “a problem” with the amount of money headed to north Durham. The plan would see $18,250,000 spent in Uxbridge and on a new elementary school in Brock Township. Trustee Ross said he would not vote in favour of the draft plan. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said she would also turn down the draft plan. Both she and Trustee Ross have expressed support for a proposal to amalgamate students at R.A. Hutchison and Kathleen Rowe Memorial pub- lic schools into a new Whitby elementary school while closing those existing schools. Several school communities have suggest- ed increasing enrolment at their facilities by adjusting school boundaries. But Mr. Massie said that method “just puts the problem some- where else.” Schools with small student populations, he said, referring specifically to Valley View, Epsom and Hutchison, all slated for closure because of low enrolment, “are going to con- tinue to die unless trustees order us to truck kids in”. The board has set aside time at Monday’s meeting for school presentations on the ac- commodation plan. A special, Dec. 10 meet- ing has 10 scheduled presentations. Both meetings take place at 7 p.m. at the education centre on Taunton Road in Whitby.

During the seven-week pro- gram last year, po- lice stopped 36,000 vehicles, charging 79 dri- vers with exceed- ing the legal blood alcohol limit or impaired driving. Detective Con- stable Mark Stone said the program this year, which started Thursday, will be staffed by 10 officers, who will set up at least three nightly spot checks on roads around the region until the second week of January. Nancy Codlin, chairman of the Durham chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), spoke at the launch, noting the program is a valu- able tool in the fight against im- paired driving. However, MADD wants more to be done and is lobbying to have the legal blood alcohol limit re- duced to 0.5 per cent from its cur- rent 0.8 per cent and wants to in- crease police powers to aid in the battle. “Drinking and driving is the number one, most senseless and to- tally preventable criminal cause of death,” Ms. Codlin said. “I don’t un- derstand why people still choose to drink and drive.” A drunk driver killed Ms. Codlin’s niece three years ago and she hopes programs like RIDE help make the public aware drinking and driving is not acceptable. Police Constable Brendan Ken- naley said Durham has been spared the tragedy of a drinking and driving death in the month of December over the last four years. However he added that last year 34 per cent of all serious or fatal traffic accidents in the region were alcohol-related.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 30, 2001 There are plenty of reasons peo- ple decide to live together instead of marrying. They range from economic fac- tors to defying social conventions. For some, living in a common-law relationship is an attempt to avoid marrying the wrong person. After all, when you live together, you dis- cover what the other person is real- ly like. If a partner passes this test, then marriage ought to be a sure thing. The only problem is statistics do not confirm this theory of attaining married bliss. The big surprise is the divorce rate is lowest, about 10 to 14 per cent for couples who got married and had never lived com- mon law. In the United States, for every 100 couples who married after living together, few were still married five years later. Why does- n’t living together lead to lasting marriage? When people decide to live to- gether without being married, they look at their relationship as a con- venient experiment. “We’ll just see if things work out, and if they don’t I can move out,” is the thinking. This mentality is quite different from the commitment needed to make a successful marriage. When you are committed to someone, you are willing to put your relationship ahead of your own convenience. An experiment mentality seems to con- dition people to seek a way out when situations and feelings change. Married couples have a piece of paper that common-law couples do not, and it is very significant. It tells that in a ceremony, two people make public vows that do not con- tain the word ‘if’. Both promise to love and be faithful “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health”. The marriage certificate means they have bound themselves to unselfishness. What about cohabiting couples who have children? Don’t children make the relationship more stable? Sadly not. According to the ‘In- formed Families’issue of June/July 2001, in Canada, 63 per cent of common-law relationships with children break up, compared again to less than 14 per cent where par- ents were legally married from the start. Paul Szabo, a Liberal MP who is focused on family issues, says in the ‘Informed Families’ issue, that, in every index, living together in- stead of marrying brings more mis- ery to adults and children through higher rates of domestic violence and family breakups. That cohabitation is good prepa- ration for marriage or is at least a respectable substitute is a myth. Those who truly want the best in a relationship will not settle for less than the pledge of marriage. LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Common myth not good for your marriage Statistics show living together before vows starts couples down dangerous path Wasn’t it just nine months ago regional councillors gave themselves a juicy eight per cent pay hike, retroactive to Jan. 1? Well, you might find this hard to believe but our Durham representatives have just OK’d a further nine-per cent raise. The only comfort in this latest pay boost is that it will be de- livered in three annual instalments, beginning in April 2002 and finishing in April 2004. At a time when layoffs are common, when we are in a re- cession and when property tax increases are a lead-pipe cinch, it’s hard to stomach our councillors voting themselves two raises within one calendar year. Try to remember when that ever happened at your work- place. Then again, average workers don’t get to vote them- selves raises. It’s just a nice perk that goes along with being a councillor. At least Clarington Mayor John Mutton made the argument any raise should not take effect until 2004. His reasoning is it’s simply not fair for elected officials to jack up their own pay while in office; that raises should only be dished out to those who run and win in the next election. At least the voters and those running for council know in advance what the situation is. We agree. Why not hold off until April 2004? While the raises only amount to about $800 per year over three years and will cost taxpayers a total of $18,335 to $25,776 annually for the councillors and chairman, the princi- ple is what matters most here. It should also be noted Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son’s salary, which was $88,249 this past February will in- crease to $104,146 as of April 2004. In addition, to substitute for the lack of a pension, all coun- cillors will receive a payout equal to five per cent of their total earnings since they were first elected. In future, taxpayers will contribute five per cent of a councillor’s annual pay toward a retirement savings plan. Still more of our tax dollars are going to work — for our elected officials. The rationale that councillor salaries should be tied to re- gional management salaries doesn’t wash. Councillors should be compensated in line with cost-of-living increases. It’s called public service for a reason. Maybe some of our raise-happy representatives should re- member that. A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 30, 2001 Who’s for a raise? Durham councillors! Only months after last hike, council ready to give pay packets another boost Harriette Mostert Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Legislation introduced at Queen’s Park to make new university a reality DURHAM —The provincial gov- ernment is moving forward with its intent to establish a new university in Durham Region. Dianne Cunningham, minister of training, colleges and universities, in- troduced an act at Queen’s Park on Tuesday to establish the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). It will be located at the Durham College campus in Oshawa. If passed by the legislature, Ms. Cunningham said the university would develop degree programs that link curriculum directly to the needs of the local business community, pro- viding students with both academic and hands-on experience. “UOIT is part of our government’s plan to ensure that we have the skilled people we need to attract in- vestment to this province,” Ms. Cun- ningham said, telling the speaker of the house, “Durham Region is one of the fastest growing areas in Ontario... For some time now, the people of Durham have been telling our gov- ernment that a university, built on the strong foundation of Durham Col- lege, is necessary to support their goals. A university would serve as an an- chor institution to provide a skilled and trained work- force, along with the necessary re- search and know-how, needed by Durham Region to secure its eco- nomic future.” However, op- position leaders criticized the government for investing in the new facility rather the exist- ing university system they say is in shambles. “When (Fi- nance Minister Jim) Flaherty likes (a project), the money flows,” contend- ed NDP MPP Rosario March- ese. In his May 2001 Ontario budget, Mr. Fla- herty announced the Province would invest $60 million to estab- lish the new uni- versity. The invest- ment will sup- port construc- tion of facilities for up to 6,500 students, furni- ture, equipment, information technology and a library for de- gree-level studies. “The Ontario government’s $60- million investment in this unique new institution will not only result in an innovative and market-driven ap- proach to post-secondary education but it will have a major impact on the economic development of Durham Region,” said Mr. Flaherty, the Whit- by-Ajax MPP, after the legislation was introduced. “The new university will help to boost the local economy in terms of jobs, housing and community re- sources.” The university plans to offer stu- dents a number of market-driven pro- grams ranging from advanced manu- facturing to nuclear technology and safety. It would also provide students with a range of opportunities to help complete their degree programs, Ms. Cunningham said. Dave Ross, spokesman for the Training, Colleges and Universities Ministry, couldn’t speculate on the timeline for final reading of the act, saying each government bill takes a different amount of time.

But this season, the region’s most needy will be a little warmer thanks to the generosity of utility users, corporate spon- sors and the Region of Durham. Residents are invited to “share the warmth” through a charity of the same name that uses public donations to pay for energy for those in need. Veridi- an, Oshawa PUC Networks Inc. and Enbridge Consumers Gas customers can contribute to the cause when they pay their bills. “Given the intensity and dura- tion of Canadian winters, fami- lies simply cannot remain in their homes without heat and energy,” said Edward de Gale, Share the Warmth’s executive director at a kickoff for the 2001/02 cam- paign, Monday. “It’s usually a choice between eating or heating and for seniors it’s often a choice between heating or medication.” Durham contributed $25,000 to the cause this year, noted Re- gional Chairman Roger Ander- son at the kickoff, adding he hopes the contribution will “go a long way to providing a little comfort to people throughout Durham who are in desperate need. “Energy costs are not going down and this is one way the Re- gion can help those in the most desperate times.” In the 905 area there are “a lot of hidden homeless”, noted Mr. de Gale, who said those in need should contact their energy sup- plier. “If you qualify we will deliv- er the energy to your home,” he said. Families, seniors, the dis- abled and the terminally ill are all eligible to apply for assistance, said Mr. de Gale. The charity currently serves people in 400 communities across Ontario. Mr. de Gale noted administra- tive costs are covered by corpo- rate sponsors so every dollar con- tributed by the public goes di- rectly to providing energy for those enrolled in the program. About 600 people in Durham Region, more than half of them children, benefited from the pro- gram last year, said Paul Cloutier of the Durham Region social ser- vices department. “It’s a charity that makes a difference. It works well to keep people warm in the winter,” he said. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish added, “This relates to the whole issue of adequate shelter. “Many of us in Durham are fortunate to have nice homes, properly heated with all the re- sources needed,” he said. But, for others, the cost of housing and the associated costs, such as en- ergy, can be a burden. Share the warmth in Durham Fire officials offer timely tips to stay safe AJAX —Area residents are being reminded to put a lid on kitchen fire hazards. “Cooking is the number one cause of home fires and is the leading cause of fire deaths and burn in- juries,” said Thom Evered, chief fire prevention officer for Ajax Fire and Emergency Services, in explaining the ‘Put a lid on it!’safety campaign. To prevent kitchen fires the de- partment offers a variety of preven- tion tactics, including always keep- ing a large lid near the stove when cooking to slide over a pot if it catch- es fire and using a thermostatically controlled deep fat fryer instead of a pot. The department also reminds chefs not to cook wearing loose- sleeved clothing or while intoxicat- ed. Another fire prevention tactic is to have a multi-purpose, ULC-listed fire extinguisher in kitchens and working smoke alarms on every floor of homes. Residents are also reminded to keep the kitchen clear of clutter and never leave meals unattended — par- ticularly if cooking with oil or at high temperatures. For more information call the fire prevention office at 905-683-7791 or e-mail evered@townofajax.com. Chefs: Put a lid on it Edward de Gale, director of Share the Warmth, wants to eliminate the choice some families in the region have to make every winter: Eat or heat. His organization invites Durham residents to make charitable donations that can be used to purchase energy from local utilities. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo The Greater One?

During a recent ceremony to mark its 50th anniversary, the auxiliary pre- sented a cheque for $185,000 to the hospital as part of its $500,000 com- mitment towards a new CT scanner. “We couldn’t do it without them,” said Bruce Cliff, chief operating offi- cer at the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System, in a press release. “For 50 years now, even before the hospital was open, the auxiliary was organized and raising money to build a commu- nity hospital. They have been our strongest supporters and everybody at Rouge Valley appreciates their sup- port.” Since 1951 the auxiliary has donat- ed millions of dollars for capital equip- ment and construction, along with countless hours of volunteer time.

By converting unfinished basement and storage space into self contained in-law and nanny suites, they have increased their net monthly incomes by approximately $500 or more after taking into account financing costs to refurbish the space. The Program is designed to increase the value of the owners home, trigger income tax deductions, create surplus cash, and eliminate virtually all of the intricacies commonly associated with generating rental income. “By taking care of almost every aspect of the apartment construction, financing, tenant screening and rental process for the home owner, we’ve created a turn-key system that really works!”, says Sam Beninato, owner and creator of this program. ‘We create upscale projects that attract quality tenants who are willing to pay a premium for superior facilities.” A typical suite consists of approximately 800 square feet and includes two private bedrooms, combined living and dining room, full kitchen, separate laundry area, 5 appliances and a luxury four piece bathroom. Upgraded amenities consist of solid wood cabinets, ceramic tile, trim accent moldings, colonial doors, pot lights and premium broadloom throughout. Many people who have already made the decision to take advantage of this truly amazing concept, use surplus cash generated by the program to pay off debts, add to their retirement nest egg (eg. RSP’s, RIF’s, GIC’s, Mutual Funds) or travel and generally enjoy a better quality of life. An information package with video has been created to help explain the benefits of the program, and is available to qualified home owners who: Up To 100% FINAN C I N G For Qu ali fi e d * Home O w n e r s !

The department is partnering with M&M Meat Shops across Durham Region, the Pickering Town Centre and Ocala Orchards, to provide information aimed at reinforc- ing the importance of personal respon- sibilities around serving and consum- ing alcohol. A recent health department survey indicates one-fifth of Durham resi- dents wrongfully believe they can have two or more drinks in the hour before leaving and still be a safe dri- ver. “With every additional drink, the risk of motor vehicle collisions in- creases,” said Heather Tucker, a public health nurse with the department. Hosts and property owners are also often unaware of their legal responsi- bility when throwing a party. “The goal of this campaign is to help people understand they may be held responsible for injuries or dam- ages that occur as a result of the alco- hol they provide on their property, or at a function that they are responsible for,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical officer of health. Under the Ontario Liquor Licence Act, hosts or homeowners are respon- sible for the safety and behaviour of their guests until they are sober, not just until they leave the party. More information will be available from health department staff Friday, Nov. 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the fol- lowing M&M Meat Shops: 20 Har- wood Ave. S., Ajax; 1211 Kingston Rd., Pickering; 133 King St. E., Bow- manville; 11 Taunton Rd. W., Oshawa; Kingsway Village, 1300 King St. E., Oshawa; 1874 Scugog St., Unit 2, Port Perry; and Kendalwood Plaza, 1801 Dundas St. E., Whitby. Information will also be available at the Pickering Town Centre Dec. 4 and 5 during mall hours, and at Ocala Orchards in Port Perry throughout the month of December. Additional infor- mation is available through the Durham Regional Health Depart- ment’s injury prevention program at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729. TM Trade-mark of CIBC.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 30, 2001 PAGE 13 A/P Ultimate Durham Region traffic cop honoured Constable Shaun Arnott recognized by Canadian Automobile Association BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––After spend- ing five years virtually picking up the pieces in the aftermath of fatal collisions, Police Con- stable Shaun Arnott knows first-hand about the pain and suffering left behind in the wake of traffic tragedies. On Wednesday, the 11-year Durham Regional Police vet- eran was presented by the Canadian Automobile Associ- ation with its Central Ontario Traffic Safety Officer of the Year Award for his dedicated work trying to prevent deaths on the roads. Const. Arnott, trained as an expert in major collision re- construction, has spent five years working in the force’s specialized traffic manage- ment unit. The CAA award was given in recognition for his commit- ment to safety programs dur- ing the past two years he has been assigned as traffic safety co-ordinator for Oshawa. “Const. Arnott is an outstand- ing role model for children and adults alike,” said CAA’s Anna Halkidis in presenting a plaque and $500 cheque. “His dedication to traffic safety programs enhances the quality of life of those living in his community,” Ms. Halkidis said. Const. Arnott has been re- sponsible for implementing local initiatives such as Os- hawa Road Watch, Operation Look Out and the Teen Dri- ving Challenge as well as being involved in the RIDE program, Bus Watch, Parent Safety Patrol, Save-a-Life Campaign and the Car Safety Seat Committee. CAA created the award to recognize police officers that go “beyond the call of duty” to ensure safety on the roads. The award is given to four officers each year across Cen- tral Ontario, stretching from Pickering to Kingston to Bar- rie. Const. Arnott’s wife, Susan, along with senior offi- cers and others gathered for the presentation at police headquarters in Oshawa. “I feel really honoured,” he said. He said on average about 30 people are killed each year on Durham roads and that as a member of the traffic manage- ment unit he struggled to deal with the devastation he wit- nessed. “I’ve seen first-hand the grief and suffering when such (fatal crashes) occur,” he said. “It’s not easy dealing with families who have lost a loved one and I think the numbers are too high.” In his current role as Os- hawa’s traffic co-ordinator, he said it’s his goal to increase safety and to prevent or at least reduce the number of fa- talities on Durham roadways. And, he added, it should be everyone else’s, too. “Road safety is not only important to me but it should be important to everybody in the community.” After the presentation, Const. Arnott made a $500 do- nation to Head Injuries Asso- ciation of Durham Region Ex- ecutive Director Frank Mur- phy. Durham Regional Police Constable Shaun Arnott fields media questions after being named traffic safety officer of the year by the Canadian Auto- mobile Association.

L1S 2H5 or e-mail them to newsad@durhamregion.com BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers said it was “silly” and “total- ly out of order” for public school board trustees to dis- tance themselves last week from letters he wrote to se- nior board staff. Roughly two months ago, the Durham District School Board trustee made public letters he wrote to education director Grant Yeo and facil- ities superintendent Jack Massie. The letter to Mr. Yeo asked that staff carry out a prior board motion request- ing quarterly budget reports, while the letter to Mr. Massie asked for informa- tion on board schools that Trustee Demmers said he needed in the context of the board’s accommodation plan. Trustees at an October standing committee meeting voted to disassociate them- selves from the letter to Mr. Massie. At the time, board chairman Elizabeth Roy said trustees decided the letter “represents the opinion of one trustee”. Meanwhile the issue of quarterly reports was referred to the education finance committee. But when the matter again came up for ratifica- tion at last Monday’s board meeting, Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford argued the original motion was invalid. Trustees at the October meeting had adjourned to discuss the matter, but it was termed a recess, when board business cannot be conduct- ed. “These motions that were dealt with in that recess, which has already been indi- cated as out of order, are null and void,” Trustee Crawford said Monday. However, Trustee Nancy Loraine answered, “If you had questions around that matter, you should have raised some of these issues (previously).” After the meeting Trustee Crawford said he had based his interpretation on the opinion of Craig Burch, board parliamentarian and employee relations superin- tendent, as justification for his position. But Mr. Burch in an inter- view said it is for trustees, not him, to decide if the dis- cussion that produced the motion took place during a break or a recess. “We’re treading on very dangerous ground here, when we begin to disassoci- ate ourselves from our asso- ciates,” said Trustee Craw- ford during the meeting. “I would like you to tell me what phrases in here you’re trying to disassociate your- selves from.” Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said the letters insin- uate Mr. Yeo and Mr. Massie didn’t act correctly. Trustee Roy called for a recorded vote, suggesting it was not the content of the letters, but the fact they were addressed to individual board employees and the press that prompted trustees’ action. “This is illuminating to the community and to all that there’s distrust,” she said. “We are treading down the path of having to go to the press to embarrass indi- viduals.” Of the eight trustees at the meeting, trustees Mari- lyn Crawford (Ajax), Roy, Loraine and Kathleen Hop- per voted in favour. Trustees Paul Crawford, Steffen and Demmers opposed the mo- tion, while Ajax Trustee Melinda Crawford ab- stained. Trustee Demmers in an interview denied he wrote the letter to Mr. Yeo to pres- sure him into providing the budget reports. “But it was my intent to receive an answer from the director,” he said. Trustee Demmers has maintained that because trustees passed a motion calling for the budget reports they must be forthcoming. In an Oct. 10 letter, Mr. Yeo explained that when the mo- tion originally passed, the board was considering buy- ing a new financial reporting system that would have been able to create such reports. But trustees did not approve the new system, and he said the board would need two budget analyst positions filled to do the work. In a previous interview, Mr. Yeo said he did not ap- prove hiring the analysts be- cause trustees are in a bud- get review process to make cuts amounting to at least $2.4 million and possibly much more for next year’s budget.

Both Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, and Fred Jones, the Durham Catholic District School board chairman, say they are run- ning for the job again. “I think I have to and I need to, and I think that the first year was a learning experience for me,” said Ms. Roy, one of two Whitby trustees on the 11-member board. It’s been a contentious year for the first-year chairman, as some trustees have openly questioned her leadership abilities and chal- lenged her authority during meet- ings. Trustee Roy was asked if she has been tough enough with her colleagues. “I think in some areas I could be firmer, others, not that I’ve been too firm, but I think I’ve been direct,” she said. “I think you have to be.” Mr. Jones, trustee for Scugog- Uxbridge-Brock, in an interview Monday night said he too would be seeking a second year as leader. Trustee Jones told trustees at a recent board meeting he “en- joyed” his year as chairman, de- scribing it as “clearly enlighten- ing”. His term has not been without controversy either. Trustee Jones has met resistance in his desire to introduce an audit and account- ability framework to the eight- member board. An ad hoc com- mittee has still not come forward with a mandate on what that framework should be, though it has been meeting for many months. Meanwhile Catholic board vice-chairman Fran Pereira an- nounced she would not be seek- ing the job again or the chair- man’s seat. The Pickering Trustee was board chairman in 2000. “I’m going to sit on the side- lines and heckle,” she joked. Nancy Loraine, the public board’s vice-chairman, in an in- terview, would not say if she was running again. Catholic trustees choose the chairman and vice-chairman at their Dec. 3 meeting. Public trustees make their picks at the Dec. 17 meeting. Trustees at each board vote for the positions in a secret ballot, the results of which are not made public.

Grant Yeo, education di- rector at the Durham Dis- trict School Board, at the board’s previous meeting noted the minutes, a recap of what took place at a previ- ous meeting, have often been a bone of contention for some trustees. At their request, he offered four op- tions that ranged from videotaping meetings to recording only motions when the board votes on a matter. Currently, the minutes in- clude a summary of discus- sions that lead to the mo- tions themselves and sum- marize presentations that do not lead to motions. Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford called for only recording motions two weeks ago and the board referred the issue to its Nov. 19 meeting. “It would be easier to go with board motions and ac- tions only and then we wouldn’t have any prob- lem,” she argued at last Monday’s meeting. However Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said the matter is “complex” and required study of the Educa- tion Act for a definition of what is meant in the act by “full” meeting minutes. He called for the formation of a committee, which would come up with a report in the new year. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers supported the idea, noting audiotaping and videotaping meetings are also options. However Nancy Loraine, the Brock-Uxbridge trustee, suggested trustees had talked enough. In a recorded vote, Trustee Paul Crawford’s committee idea was defeat- ed. Trustee Demmers then called for the motions-only option, in addition to audio- taping, arguing, “we can’t be scanty about this.” Trustee Marilyn Craw- ford accepted the amend- ment, with reservations, saying, “I think we’ve talked about it enough and I think it’s time we called the ques- tion.” But Trustee Paul Craw- ford said he feared that op- tion does not conform to the Education Act or to board bylaws and Roberts Rule of Order, the board’s procedur- al guide. “Who can say full and complete is fulfilled by ap- proach (motions only)?” he challenged. Mr. Yeo said because the act is not more specific, mo- tions only “would suffice”. Trustee Demmers’ mo- tion was defeated 6-2 in a recorded vote. In a third recorded vote, trustees voted 6-2 in favour of Trustee Marilyn Crawford’s original motion. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said that was the best way to go and would “eliminate a lot of he saids and she saids” in the min- utes. “There’s an old saying, ‘I know what I said, but do you know what I meant,’” she said. Trustees Demmers and Paul Crawford opposed the motion.

The Durham Region Health De- partment’s voluntary vaccination program began at Anderson Colle- giate and Vocational Institute Tues- day and was to continue this week. Students are being given Meno- mune, which the health department says takes effect in 10 to 14 days and is effective 85 to 90 per cent of the time. In the 15- to 19-year-old age group, Menomune provides protection for three to five years against four strains of bacterial meningitis, serogroups A, C,Y and W-135. Menomune is not effective against serogroup B strains, one case of which occurred in Durham this summer. “It’s a very safe vaccine,” said Glendene Collins, health depart- ment spokesman. “The only side ef- fects are soreness or redness at the site of the injection.” She could not say how many stu- dents had been vaccinated Tuesday morning, but noted the health de- partment has enough vaccine for the entire student body. “We’re going to complete the vaccination program and continue to monitor the community,” said Ms. Collins. She said a makeup clinic would be held within a week for those stu- dents who want to be vaccinated but missed the first two opportuni- ties. A 14-year-old Anderson student was diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis last Monday and is being treated with antibiotics. A second student received antibiotic treatment after contracting the dis- ease in late October. The 16-year- old student recovered and is back in school. In a press release Monday, Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associ- ate medical officer of health, said Health Canada testing was unable to detect the bacteria and thus could not identify the strain. The Region’s health department sent blood and spinal fluid samples from each stu- dent to the specialized lab in Win- nipeg. “Therefore, as a precautionary measure, the health department has requested and received from the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care meningococcal vaccine for all students at Anderson,” she stated. Dr. Reynolds was at the school Tuesday and was unavailable for comment. School principal Lou Vavougios declined to comment on an infor- mation meeting held at the school Monday night. Andrea Pidwerbecki, the Durham District School Board’s communications manager, said roughly 25 to 30 parents and stu- dents attended the meeting, adding short notice might have affected the turnout. Ms. Pidwerbecki said 10 nurses were available to answer one-on- one questions from those who at- tended. “Everyone seemed to be there to just collect information and listen,” she said. Dr. Reynolds in a previous inter- view said there have been seven serogroup B and two serogroup C cases in the province this year. She said the serogroup C strain is usual- ly responsible for outbreaks in schools. Dr. Reynolds has said the bacte- ria that cause meningitis are spread from person to person through di- rect contact with nose and throat se- cretions, such as in the sharing of food, drinks or cigarettes, or through kissing. But it is “very rare” to get the disease even if someone has ac- quired the bacteria. There are four to eight cases of meningitis in Durham Region in a typical year. The disease leads to death in about 10 per cent of cases. The health department has set up a meningitis information line for residents.

Crucial life-saving minutes could be saved by giving the public access to equipment to treat one of the most lethal forms of cardiac arrest, said Dr. Rudy Vandersluis, medical direc- tor of the Durham Region Base Hos- pital’s (ambulance services) advance life support program. Durham municipalities should en- dorse the placement of defibrillators — machines used as a first response treatment for heart attacks — in areas accessible to the public, Dr. Vandersluis told Clarington council Monday night. Making the machines accessible to the public would improve the sur- vival rate for victims of sudden car- diac arrest, he said, noting 60,000 Canadians lose their life to it every year. “Every minute that goes by, the chance of success is reduced from seven to 10 per cent,” he explained. Thanks to improved technology, defibrillators — a tool commonly used by medical rescue personnel — have become easy enough to operate that Grade 6 students have been taught effectively, said Dr. Vander- sluis. While victims are awaiting an emergency response team, precious moments are lost and “very rapidly the survival rate drops off”, he ex- plained. Already in other parts of the province public defibrillators are being used, said Keith Kirkpatrick, co-ordinator for the public access defibrillation program (PAD). “We look at examples like Wind- sor, like Toronto and like Ottawa and look at what some of their results are,” said Mr. Kirkpatrick. “We want to try to achieve some of those re- sults.” Casino Windsor, for example, has the highest cardiac arrest survival rate in the world — 65 per cent — because staff members have been trained to use the equipment, he said, noting defibrillator operation will soon be included in CPR train- ing. In Durham, some industries have already begun to incorporate PAD, he said. General Motors has introduced the program, as has Ontario Power Generation where the in-house de- fibrillators have already paid off, said Harvey Ostrander, an OPG emergency staff training technician. In September a victim survived a cardiac arrest at the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station after he was treated by an in-house emergency re- sponse team trained to use the defib- rillators, said Mr. Ostrander. The team reached the victim in about four minutes, far less time than it would have taken for an out- side emergency medical response unit to get in the plant, he explained. In the next couple of years the company intends to extend the pro- gram and the training so other employees will know how to apply the equipment in case of emergency. The cost for defibrillators has decreased significantly in recent years and currently sits at about $5,500. Prototypes not yet approved for the market are expected to cost even less, said Mr. Kirk- patrick. Liability was an issue that caused “great concern when they first came out,” noted Dr. Vandersluis. But, he said, in areas already using pubic defibrillators, it has proven to be the opposite. “You’re more liable if you don’t have it available and you don’t use it, when similar facili- ties do have it,” he said. “When people have a collapse techni- cally they’re dead and you can’t make them more dead. You can bring them back through timely intervention.” Introducing Cash Back - The latest addition to our Rapid Rewards Players Club program.

The following new movie is being released at cinemas in Ajax and Pick- ering this weekend: BEHIND ENEMY LINES Starring Owen Wilson, Gene Hackman. Directed by John Moore. Lieutenant Chris Bur- nett (Wilson), a top naval aviator, is frustrated frag- ile geopolitics have kept him from what he knows best: flying F/A-18 Super- hornet jets into combat. “We’re watching, not fighting,” he tells Admiral Reigart (Hackman), who thinks Burnett hasn’t real- ly learned what it means to be a soldier. During a routine recon- naissance mission, Burnett photographs something no one was ever meant to see and is shot down. Trapped behind enemy lines, he struggles to sur- vive the relentless pursuit of a ruthless secret police enforcer, a deadly tracker, and countless hostile troops. With time running out, Reigart makes the wrench- ing decision to set aside the rules of the tightly- controlled world in which he operates and risks his career to launch a rene- gade rescue mission to save the life of one soldier.

Wednesday night was a special night for ten Dairy Queen employees. JD, KRISTYN, PHIL, MARY, SCOTT, KIM, QAIZRA, MIKE, SARAH and ASHLEY experienced the night of their lives. Before I tell you what happened to them I’ll tell you how they won this dream night. We have six managers at our store. You can recognize them by the white shirts. Each shift the manager on duty prints off a report about each staff member that worked with them on that shift. The report tells us if the employee smiles while serving a customer and many other aspects of the service they give. At the end of the report they nominate the employee who did an outstanding job on that shift. Over the last two months we have run a TOP TEN contest and have tabulated the top ten vote getters or the ones who got their name nominated the most. Here is what they won. Each employee was picked up at their home by a white stretch limousine that seats ten. As parents snapped pictures of their kids getting into the limo we were then whisked to a special dinner in a private room at the MANDARIN in Pickering. We always receive a warm welcome from Delores one of the owners and the prime rib is out of this world at the MANDARIN. The limo picked us up after dinner and took us to the Royal Alex for a performance of MOMA MIA. The evening wasn’t finished because there is only one place for dessert. We were taken back to the DAIRY QUEEN which was now closed to the public and the winners had the run of the store and were treated to the best desserts in the world. And most of all they got to stay out late on a school night! The winners are pictured below. MOMA MIA Some may wonder why I have mentioned other businesses in my articles and I will say again that we all have to support each other. One of our favourites for take out on the way home is the SWISS CHALET at Brock and Kingston Road behind the Shell station. We have been eating there for ten years. The service at take out is always fast and I love the new large ribs they serve and Sherry has to have the Festive Special. Why not stop in this weekend.

Winterfest chairman and Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said he expects the turnout for most of this year’s events to be the biggest and best ever. “It’s a real good way for the community to get to- gether and celebrate the holi- day season within our own borders,” he said. The festival begins Friday, Dec. 7 at 6:45 p.m. with the tree lighting at the Esplanade Park outside the Pickering Civic Complex. And, it’s not just a tree lighting either, Coun. Holland said, noting the whole park will be alive with colourful lights. There will also be fire- works in the snow (weather permitting) set to music, a live jazz band and the Picker- ing Concert Band, wagon rides and entertainment for kids, and a midway. The event has drawn over 7,000 people in past years. The following morning, Saturday, Dec. 8, the park will play host to a snow sculpture contest, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Organizers are guaranteeing snow for the contest, to be judged by the PineRidge Arts Council. First prize is $150, second $75, and third takes away $50. Sunday, Dec. 9 it will be Christmas in the village from noon to 4 p.m. Families are invited to come and celebrate a Victorian Christmas, Scot- tish Hogmanay and German- ic holiday traditions at Pick- ering Museum Village. The mayor’s light tour for the enjoyment of seniors goes Wednesday, Dec. 12 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. In this popular event any- one can tour the streets of Pickering with the Ajax Pick- ering Transit Authority and see an incredible light show.

Would-be balladeers can belt out a tune Saturday, Dec. 15 from noon to 4 p.m. at the holiday karaoke inside the Pickering Town Centre, while those more inclined to let the professionals play can check out music night on Tuesday, Dec. 18 from 7 to 10 p.m. in the City Hall council chambers. Ontario Power Genera- tion will host two movies and crafts events at their informa- tion centre, 1675 Mont- gomery Park Road.

Durham Minor Hockey When kids learn to play hockey, they find out that an assist can mean just as much as a goal. That’s what makes it such a great game - the power of teamwork. And that’s why your local Tim Hortons is proud to sponsor over 1,400 players on 90 teams in the Durham area. Oshawa Generals We’re honoured to sponsor a franchise which has helped develop over 130 NHL players. It gives kids a chance to cheer for local heroes and future stars. And three times a year, local Timbits Minor Hockey players participate in Timbits Challenge mini-games between periods. Oshawa Junior Generals Junior Generals Nights add excitement to the intermission at six Oshawa Generals games over the season. The Junior Generals compete in relays, drills and other fun games. Winners get duffle bags filled with cool hockey stuff, supplied by your local Tim Hortons. Here are just three of the ways that you and your Durham area Tim Hortons are working together to build teamwork on and off the ice.

DURHAM —Danielle Cyr’s back-to-back shutouts led her squad to two recent Durham West Lightning novice ‘A’ rep hockey team league victo- ries. In their most recent ef- fort, against Burlington, the Lightning cruised to a 6-0 victory. Offensively, Megan Hagg led the way with a hat trick, while Shannon Baker, Erin Cameron and Jennifer Grant added singles. Katie Wailes, Cameron, Grant, Kelsie Moffatt and Hagg drew assists. The novices started weekend play by blanking Aurora 4-0. The game was scoreless until late in the second period when the Lightning struck for three goals in the last three min- utes. Two goals by Wailes and one by Grant closed the period. Hagg and Mof- fatt chipped in with as- sists. Michelle Sabourin scored late in the third to close out the game. Richard Sabourin coaches the team, assisted by John Hagg and Ian Wailes. The manager is Cheryl Hagg. AJAX —Members of the Ajax Budokan Judo Club proved last weekend they’re among the best in the country. The club returned home from the Ontario Open Judo Tournament at Hum- ber College with 11 medals — including six gold. The event attracted 500 of Canada’s top competitors. In the juvenile category (13 to 16 years old), Jonathan Bodenstein and Patrick Tremblay-Sabourin won gold in their respec- tive weight classes. Darcy Reis and Monika Majka earned bronze medals. Dylan Cave finished fifth. Meanwhile, in the Inter- national Judo Federation 16-to-20-year-old class, Tanya Burden, Atty Shayesteh, Chris McCrud- den, and Sasha Mehme- dovic captured gold medals in their weight classes. Slava Rogov fin- ished second. In the senior division (16 years and over), Mc- Crudden and Shayesteh each earned bronze, while Mehmedovic finished fifth, Burden seventh and Rogov ninth. All of the club’s athletes in the senior division achieved the best results in the province in their weight classes and are on course to qualify for na- tionals, as the tournament served as a national quali- fying meet. There are, however, qualifying meets in Janu- ary and April before an Ontario team is chosen. The club hosts its annu- al meet at Lincoln Alexan- der Public School on Church Street North this Sunday.

Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) play tips off Monday, Dec. 3, with more teams than in the recent past on the hardwood. In fact, this season marks the first time LOSSA boys’ bas- ketball has returned to a sense of normalcy after three years of little or no participa- tion from Durham Region schools due to ongoing labour strife between teach- ers and the provincial govern- ment. “I think within two or three years we should be back to where we used to be,” noted LOSSA senior boys’ basketball convener Norm Johnson. “At one time, our teams could compete against any area within Ontario.” This year, 14 teams are taking part at the new ‘AAAA’ level, seven in each of the West and East divi- sions. All told, 28 senior and junior teams in the various categories (‘AA’, ‘AAA’, ‘AAAA’) are playing LOSSA ball this season. And, the 2001/02 hoops season should see a rekindled rivalry between the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs and the defending LOSSA champion Dunbar- ton High School Spartans — two hoops powerhouses that met for the LOSSA crown a year ago. They’re expected to make a strong case to return to the championship game this season. “St. Mary and Dunbarton for the last couple of years have been the strength of the league and they should con- tinue to be this year,” noted Johnson. For the Spartans, the key word is depth, said assistant coach Jeff Maharaj. The 15- member team boasts experi- ence, height and bench strength as it sets about de- fending its LOSSA title. “We have a lot of return- ing players and a very bal- anced team this year with a good inside and outside game,” noted Maharaj, who has served for three seasons under head coach Everton Clennon. “All five of our starters from last year are back.” Returning to the starting lineup are guards Nathan Graham and Dan Makoge, forwards Kemar Munroe and Adrian Johnson and wide- bodied centre Mike Filinski. Maharaj said the Mon- archs and the Pickering High School Trojans should pose the biggest threats this sea- son. “It’s kind of unfortunate that we’re all in the same di- vision,” he said. “We’re going to beat up on each other before the playoffs.” The Spartans are 2-1 in pre-season games, their only loss coming against Henry Carr of Toronto in a tourna- ment. They’ve defeated Scar- borough’s Mother Teresa and Ajax’s Exeter High School Falcons. Meanwhile, the Monarchs haven’t suffered any setbacks from last season. Although two starters — Nathan Momongan and Ivan Byrungi — have departed (one to graduation, the other moved to Ottawa), St. Mary has re- loaded with a talented cast. Expected to start are for- wards Kareem McLaren and David Ferdinand, centre Jer- maine Reid and guards Syd- ney Bookal and Brendan De- haney. The problem to date, said head coach Mike Gordensky, is that six of the team’s 13 players are still on the field with the Monarchs’ football team. That has hampered practices and won’t allow the team a lot of time to gel be- fore the regular season tips off. Over in Ajax, the Picker- ing High School Trojans are seen as a dark horse in this year’s mix. The Trojans are returning to senior hoops play after a three-year hiatus. Head coach Finbar Stra- chan noted his team is small- er compared to the height ad- vantage enjoyed by some clubs, but added it nonethe- less boasts skill. “We’re a little undersized compared to other teams, namely St. Mary and Dun- barton, but we’re working hard to play good defence. That will keep us in a lot of the games,” said Strachan. “We have good kids and they play well together.” In the absence of high school hoops, Stra- chan said the ma- jority of his players played basketball at the club level in the Ontario Basket- ball Association for various programs in Toronto and area. Although his starting five aren’t cast in stone, Strachan looks to for- wards Jerome Forde, Ian Wight and Navin Singh and guards Omar Green and Jason Jordan to log the lion’s share of minutes. The Trojans have played in several pre-season tourna- ments, including the Laurier (Scarborough) Early Bird event where they beat the hosts, ranked seventh in the city, 65-63 in overtime. Pick- ering also participated in the Pinky Lewis tourney in Hamilton, where after losing by eight points to Henry Carr, they rebounded to hammer Loyola from Mississauga 61- 35. Also competing in the West Division are the Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Charg- ers, the Anderson Raiders and Sinclair Celtics of Whit- by and the Pine Ridge Pumas of Pickering. Competing in the East are Courtice, Bow- manville, Port Perry, Paul Dwyer, Eastdale and O’Neill from Oshawa, and Father Leo J. Austin from Whitby.

L1W 3X4 Pager: (416) 547-7489 PETER’S ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 4 DAY COURSE DEC. 26th - 29th, 2001 I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room. Stop sweating the small stuff. Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what. Instead, let’s cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, “Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.” There would have been more “I love you’s.” More “I’m sorry’s.” But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute… look at it and really see it… live it… and never give it back.
