HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2002_10_06BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —David Crom- bie isn’t promising any big changes to his panel’s six draft principles. “I don’t know what the panel will want to change,” the chairman of the North Pickering Land Ex- change Review Panel said in an in- terview Thursday. “Some people might think we should scrap them. I can tell you, that’s not going to hap- pen.” Mr. Crombie said his members asked the public at two sessions this week what they liked, disliked and would want changed in reference to six draft principles meant to guide the valuation, exchange and subse- quent development of Seaton. “Now we’ll have to go back and see how it will all relate to the draft we put out,” said Mr. Crombie, who hopes to have his panel’s recom- mendation ready for the Province by the end of this month. The Province is exchanging provincially owned lands in Seaton for privately owned lands in Rich- mond Hill and Uxbridge. Seaton has been identified as land for the City of Pickering’s future urban ex- pansion. About 175 people attended the two sessions, where Mr. Crombie said he picked up on three very clear concerns from residents and environmental groups. Principle 6, which designates the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve to be used in perpetuity for agricul- tural purposes only was “a key in- PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Synchro swimmers Why is this off to Canada Games baby so happy?

Ontario Provincial Police say a black Nissan Pathfinder was trav- elling east at 7:30 a.m. when it crossed the highway’s grassy me- dian and collided with a west- bound Pontiac Grand Am. The driver of the Grand Am, 36-year-old Kathleen Rombis, of Pickering, was pronounced dead at the scene, said OPP. The 41-year-old driver of the Nissan Pathfinder, a Brampton man, was taken to Sunnybrook Health Science Centre with head injuries. The accident is still under in- vestigation.

Hospital leader calls it a career Bruce Cliff a study in ‘quiet diplomacy’ BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer AJAX —Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital has lost one of its strongest advocates with the retirement of Bruce Cliff. In an evening of funny stories and playful teasing about the now-former chief operating officer, that comment, made by Allan Whiting, sobered a room full of well-wishers at Regalis Restau- rant in Pickering Thursday night. “The rest of the organization will have a lot to pick up now,” said Mr. Whiting, who retired three months ago as chief executive officer and president of the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS), which has sites in Ajax and Scarborough. Mr. Cliff officially retired at the end of August, at which time a new gover- nance model was put in place. Management of the two sites is now entrusted to a team made up of Hume Martin,RVHS’s new chief executive of- ficer and president, several area vice- presidents, and project general man- agers. After 21 years in the high-stress environment of hospital administration, Mr. Cliff said he’s looking forward to spending more time with his wife Roseanne and their three children, and pursuing a longtime interest in music. “I think there’s a whole lot of things out there to learn about just from pick- ing up a book at the library,” he said. “I’d also like to start giving back to the community.” In 1992, he was hired as president and CEO of the then Ajax-Pickering General Hospital just as it was contem- plating adding the west tower. Joe Atkinson, then chairman of the hospi- tal’s board of directors, recalled the many trips to Queen’s Park with Mr. Cliff to lobby for funding to make it all possible. “Even under that debilitating pressure, Bruce did exactly what he was there to do,” he said. “He is a study in quiet diplomacy.” His eyes starting to brim with tears, Mr. Cliff said RVHS has become like a second family, one he’s going to miss. “I’ve had one goal and that’s to be involved in a facility and drive by it one day and know you’ve made a differ- ence,” he said. Bruce Cliff (seated) was honoured by (from left) Joe Atkinson, Gale Mossman and Kathy Ramsay at a gala celebration Thursday.

Facilitators were supposed to help trustees with their roles BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —A meeting Monday between public school board trustees and Education Ministry staff has been cancelled. Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, said in an interview this week education director Grant Yeo told her he had re- ceived word ministry officials would not be able to attend the meeting. She was disappointed, noting, “It’s not too late” for the atmosphere to improve around the board table. Trustee Roy in late August said ministry staffers would meet privately with trustees before the Oct. 7 stand- ing committee meeting to discuss the role of the trustee. She hoped the meeting would help create some co- hesiveness and order amongst trustees, who have struggled through a fractious term of office. Senior ministry spokesman Bruce Skeaff confirmed a month ago that Mike Riley, director of the ministry’s field services branch, and Mearl Obee, manager of the ministry’s Bar- rie district office, were slated to meet with trustees. Reached by phone Thursday, Mr. Riley expressed surprise at the notion, saying there was talk of such a meet- ing a month ago and suggested the board had cancelled it. “It would be their call, that’s for sure,” he said. Mr. Skeaff said Thursday he didn’t know why the meeting was called off. The following day, he said he had spoken with Mr. Riley and under- stood ministry staff couldn’t attend because they were too busy. “There’s nothing sinister,” he said. “It’s just that the time and date didn’t work out.” Mr. Skeaff said it was up to the board to try and arrange another meeting if it wished. Ms. Roy said this week she doesn’t see things getting better at the board. As an example of some members not understanding what their roles are, she cited trustees who “bring little things to the board table”, when a phone call to the appropriate superin- tendent might have resolved the mat- ter. Mrs. Roy said that sort of thing has “bogged down the board.” As well, she noted the stubborn- ness of trustees who, when they lose a vote, do not accept the will of the board. “With any subject, when they lose on an item, they never give up,” said Trustee Roy. “When you lose, you lose; it’s a democratic process.” She said she would still pursue a meeting with ministry or Ontario Public School Boards’ Association staff. However, not all trustees were en- thusiastic about the meeting. Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen said in an interview she “wasn’t total- ly into the meeting anyway” and was- n’t concerned it was cancelled. “My first impression was it was to resolve differences,” she said.

I am a single mother. My son, Chaz, is eight years old. I am a customer service representative. I dropped 64 lbs. of fat in 11 short months. My story is so remarkable. I would like to share it with you. By Tania Olsson My cheeks burned with embarrass- ment as I stared at the television screen. We were watching a recent family video. “I’m huge!” I gasped. I had always been tall and trim in high school. I was on the swim team and volleyball team. I was shocked and appalled to realize how fat I had become. My folks never allowed junk food in the house. When I got old enough to make my own food choices, I went hog wild. Chips, ice cream and soda pop were my routine. When I was pregnant I started eating for two. After Chaz was born I cooked for two and ate for four! I used food as comfort. I told myself it was just baby fat. It would go away. But it didn’t go away. I was get- ting fatter every week. With fat came anxiety and depres- sion. My self-esteem was nil. I could see folks turning sideways to squeeze past me. I’d cringe inside. My weight made me crazy. I refused to eat in public. I knew what people were thinking...Look at what you’re eating...no wonder you’re so fat. Go ahead, honey, have another cheeseburger. I used to be so hard on fat people. Now I was fat, hurt and desperate. Dieting Nightmares I was always trying the next fad diet. I tried grueling exercise routines. It would never stick. When I didn’t feel the results, I’d get discouraged. The cravings were unbearable. I lost 30 pounds twice with weight loss drugs. My weight shot back up so fast it made my head spin. The drugs set me on an emotional rollercoaster. I couldn’t bear the thought of a third go around. Nothing I do works, I told myself as I sat on the couch with a gallon of ice cream. What’s the use of trying? Ray of Sunshine One day a close friend encouraged me to try hypnosis. I was skeptical. “I’ve heard they get great results,” she said. I could only hope. The free screening was like a ray of sunshine. My consultant was car- ing and concerned. The office is professional and comfortable. Their level of confidentiality was impressive. I held my breath for the sales pitch. It didn’t happened. They explained the program in detail. Left it for me to decide. The fee was much lower than I expected. I signed up and lost 64 lbs. in 11 short months. I lost ten inches off my waist. My dress size plunged from a bulging 22 to sleek size 12. Whole New Me! Immediately after my first session my appetite dimin- ished. I feel completely satis- fied with small, healthy portions. Next my food choices changed. When I was fat I would not touch raw vegeta- bles. With hypnosis I have developed this strange attrac- tion to carrots! They’re as appealing as potato chips used to be. I know I will never, ever gain the weight back. Now that I’m thin and happy with my body, I can’t think of a single rea- son to overeat. Hypnosis Delivers Benefits! I used to feel sluggish by 9:00 a.m. I was so depressed. Even my hair drooped. Since hypnosis I look and feel young, alive and vibrant. My skin is glowing. My hair is thick and shiny. I have tons of energy. I’m light on my feet. My family and friends all want to know how I did it. They want to be like me. The other day a co-worker said, “I wish I could have even half your ener- gy.” That was the best compliment of all. When I was fat I smoked skinny cigarettes to make me feel thin. Quit- ting smoking was a side benefit I had not expected. I breathe better. Move better. Enjoy more activities. I hated walking in and out of plus size stores. I would rush my shopping bags to the car. Every- body knows you’re fat, but come on, that’s the big girl’s store. Shopping for a size 12 is the most wonderful feeling in the world. I no longer worry about eating in public. When eyes are on me, I know they’re thinking, “Hey, she’s got it together.” Chaz is tickled to see my biceps. We recently went rock climbing. We enjoy rollerblading. There’s no way I could have done that before. Recommends I suffered when I was overweight. I lived in a state of overwhelming help- lessness. I was out of control. It was frightening. Hypnosis was the smartest invest- ment of my life. My consultant took the time to listen to my fears. I never felt pressured. My success was their main concern. I got more than I expected from my private hypnosis sessions. I feel won- derful about myself. If it wasn’t for hypnosis I wouldn’t be enjoying my slim, healthy body today. Don’t think I’m a lone success story either. I meet other successful clients all the time. My only regret is that I waited and suffered for months. You don’t have to suffer another second. Call 905-686- 7717 right now to schedule your free hypnotic screening. I know your con- sultant will answer all your questions and put your fears to rest.

CERTAIN SUCCESS! “I used hypnosis to lose weight and improve my sales performance. My doctor says I have lost 20 lbs. already. My blood pressure is way down. I feel calm and relaxed. My goal was to double my business. I’ve nearly quadrupled it! Hypnosis is a great experience. I noticed changes right off the bat. Hypnosis took away the nervous feelings. Compulsive eating habits vanished. My success is certain. I wholeheartedly recommend hypnosis for weight loss amd sales performance. I’ve rec- ommended it to all my friends.” Jim Ridenhour, Fire Safety Coordinator INSTANT RESULTS! “I was skeptical about hypnosis. What a surprise when my friend, Debbie Crews, told me she stopped smok- ing and lost 23 pounds with hypnosis. I felt totally relaxed after the first session. On my way home I did not crave a cigarette. I love the relaxation. I stopped smoking instantly with hypnosis.” Michael E.

(at Finley) Suite 7, Ajax terest”, he said. His panel will consider a request from farmers to look at the viabil- ity of farming that area for- ever and find some way to reflect that in its principles. Mr. Crombie also ac- knowledged concerns for the local planning process raised by groups like Pick- ering Ajax Citizens Togeth- er (PACT) for the Environ- ment. PACT chairman David Steele has called for a peer review of the deal conduct- ed by consultants selected by the City’s growth man- agement committee. The re- view should examine the Province’s environmental mapping of Seaton, and a secondary plan should be completed by the City on advice from the committee, not the Province, he argued. “We’re not saying (Seaton) shouldn’t be devel- oped at all, but we want to see it developed properly,” he said. Mr. Crombie said he agreed with those senti- ments to an extent. “Plan- ning is not just a provincial responsibility, it’s not just a Pickering responsibility, and it’s not just a Durham responsibility,” he said. “It takes all three and we’re try- ing to find a way to bring them together.” As for the land exchange and evaluation, Mr. Crom- bie said the panel clearly heard the public wants the process to be fair and open. He pointed out the first principle proposes a judge be named to act as a fairness commissioner to monitor the land swap, he said. But Mr. Crombie said residents wanted added as- surances that “the strongest possible language” be built into that particular principle to ensure the process is something they can trust. In the meantime, Dan McTeague, MP for Picker- ing-Ajax-Uxbridge, contin- ued with his push for a fed- eral environmental assess- ment of the Seaton lands. He introduced it to caucus Tuesday night and says sup- port is growing.

Rae Coulter, director of St. Paul’s on- the-Hill Community Food Bank, said shelves are unusually low of all items heading into the annual food drive. “Summer is usually a slow time for us. Our Thanksgiving food drive is our main food drive. It carries us through the rest of the winter,” she said. However, Ms. Coulter said she’s not sure why the shelves are particularly bare at this time, although she did note the number of clients has increased since the organization moved to its Pickering Parkway storage facility last August. “We’re on a better bus route now and I think more people know about us,” Ms. Coulter said. St. Paul’s now serves about 250 fam- ilies each month. That represents over 600 people, more than half of which are children. “We need cereal badly. We’ve run out of it because the price of cereal has skyrocketed recently,” she said. Juice is another high-ticket item and always needed at St. Paul’s. “We can only afford to give one juice box to each child,” Ms. Coulter said. “We need tins of juice.” The food bank is an outreach pro- gram of the St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Angli- can Church and for 12 years was run out of the church’s basement. After several moves, it now calls two converted stor- age units home. The drive runs until Oct. 19. Donations can be dropped off at grocery stores in Pickering, the Ajax IGA at 955 Westney Rd., and Picker- ing’s three fire halls. Cash donations can be dropped off at St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Anglican Church, 882 Kingston Rd. in Pickering. Call 905-839-9537. Rae Coulter and Trinda Suitor stack empty food hampers in the hope they will soon be filled by Pickering residents during the annual St. Paul’s on- the-Hill Thanksgiving food drive. The food bank’s shelves, notes Ms. Coulter, are unusually empty this year and require replenishing so the food bank can continue to help needy residents in the community. P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 6, 2002 www.durhamregion.com World created for peace, not war To the editor: The rhetoric originating from the White House suggests an assault against Iraq is all but inevitable. War drums threaten to drown out both law and compassion, and people are tempted to conclude another Gulf War is a gathering storm. Unless the parties to a conflict engage in dialogue, the paths to peace remain blocked. We urge the Government of Cana- da to stay in dialogue with all relevant par- ties, and to insist on treating all with human dignity and human rights. Another Gulf War now would be wrong. First of all because of the suffering such a war would inflict on the Iraqi people who have already suffered so bitterly. Interna- tional humanitarian organizations have re- peatedly urged us to educate our own soci- eties about how crushing the international sanctions have been for the health, educa- tion, livelihoods and hope of most Iraqi men, women and (especially) children. We in the West will be judged, by histo- ry and by the Creator of all, for the damage we have been willing to inflict in the name of security. The past 11 years of sanctions is a case in point. We urge the Government of Canada not to lose confidence in initiating the peace- building approach to the problems of Iraq by pressing all countries for compliance with international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions. Iraq is not the only country that stands in violation of them. Also, it should aim at ridding the whole region of weapons of mass destruc- tion. The world was created for peace, not war. That is an affirmation of faith. To live by it, to act politically on the truth of it, is fruitful beyond all calculation.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 6, 2002 Denise Gilbert is worried. As ex- ecutive director of Schoolhouse Daycare Centres and chairman of the Durham Region Child Care Forum Advocacy Committee, she and the men and women providing regulated care for children in Durham Region are troubled. Other than in the context of child poverty, last Monday’s throne speech made no mention of federal funding for the kind of universal, regulated day care so necessary to turn out safe, healthy, educable kids. ‘Let the chips fall where they may’ seems to be governments’ mandates when it comes to the well-being of our children. Pretty shabby legacies to leave in their respective wakes. Early this year, a Durham Region MPP told a group of concerned tax- payers if people can’t afford to take care of their children, they shouldn’t have them. Wow. What a statement to make when the fact of the matter is children — all children — repre- sent our future, the futures of our children and grandchildren. Ironi- cally, this man’s statement was made at Durham College last Janu- ary at a time when a fellow MPP was racking up bills in luxury hotels and restaurants. I remember respected journalist and social activist June Callwood telling an Oshawa audience 30 years ago the one way to cure many, if not most, of society’s ills was to just have one generation of wanted, well-cared-for children. The early education and care of our children must be right up there with health care. And as those in a position to know say, ‘You pay now or you pay later.’ Why not spend money on day cares now instead of on prisons, homeless shelters and methadone clinics later? Dr. Fraser Mustard, a world- renowned child-care expert, has re- peatedly stressed proper stimulation and quality child care are essential for the development of preschoolers. To deny this is to invite tragedy for us all down the road. Before branding me a total bleed- ing heart, I do feel badly for the cab- inet minister caught spending our tax dollars so freely. Is it any won- der he didn’t want to commute at the end of the day on gridlocked high- ways full of parents desperately try- ing to relieve unregulated babysit- ters? As for the movies he watched in his well-appointed hotel suite, who could blame him? It must be hard for people like that to sleep. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com How can these people sleep at night? As we come to yet another Thanksgiving, it’s worth noting Parliament vowed 13 years ago to end child poverty in Canada by 2000. That optimistic goal became a cruel joke as year after year, government after government did precious little to make life eas- ier for Canada’s poor. We’re still waiting and hoping for progress, though the recent throne speech offered hints the federal government might finally take real action to help put a dent in the numbers. There were claims the feds would increase child benefits to poor families. But, like many Liberal promises made since 1993, we’ll believe it when we see it. Child poverty has skyrocketed throughout our land since 1989, growing as a result of a recession in the early-to-mid- 1990s, along with a tightening of government spending at all lev- els. Perhaps now, with the prime minister worried about his lega- cy as he retires in 2004, the purse strings will be loosened slight- ly. Right now, hundreds of children are going to school hungry each day in Durham. This army of pupils may not be getting ad- equate food and shelter, and many cannot participate in commu- nity activities that come with a price tag. That’s why, more than ever, the work of St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank needs the continued support of Pickering residents. The organization’s Thanksgiving Food Drive kicked off Fri- day and runs until Oct. 19. It’s a critical time of year for the food bank as the drive is counted on to stack shelves through the tra- ditional high demand time at Christmas. All manner of non-per- ishable food items are needed, particularly cereal and juice, to help feed 600 people who visit each month. Of that number, more than half are children. Making the challenge even greater is the fact shelves are un- usually bare this year, said St. Paul’s director Rae Coulter, noting the food bank’s more accessible new location on Pickering Park- way is likely attributing to the higher number of people volun- teers are seeing. The use of food banks across Durham and Ontario as a whole is increasing and the need to contribute has never been greater. Contributions can be dropped off at all three fire halls and gro- cery stores in Pickering, along with the Ajax IGA at 955 Westney Rd. So please, as you complete your weekly rounds of the grocery aisles, give a thought to those in need of a helping hand. Put a few extra items in your cart for deposit in store collection boxes. It really will mean the world to so many. Please give until the last child is fed As fall food drives kick off, many counting on donations to get through Christmas Jane McDonald Staff Writer shouston@durhamregion.com Governments must think about their legacies and do the right thing See if your child is safe and secure at Greenwood event PICKERING ––Royal Woods Ford-Lincoln Sales hosts an Oct. 20 car safety seat check event. The dealership is in the City of Pickering’s hamlet of Greenwood, at 3260 Hwy. 7 (east of Westney Road). Durham Region’s car safety seat committee hosts check events throughout the year in Durham mu- nicipalities. The group was formed to increase the awareness and practice of proper car seat installation and usage. Parents or guardians are invited to bring the car safety seat(s) they use to keep their youngster safe while on the road to an event, where trained volun- teers can provide information on the proper use of safety seats. There is no charge for the service at the clinic. Seat check events in Durham have revealed that three out of every four car safety seats are not used correctly. The Greenwood event goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information on the event, contact the Durham Region Health Department Information Line at 1- 800-841-2729. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 6, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE A FRESH START Professional and Personalized Service Free Confidential Consultation CLARKE HENNING INC.

I study hard and I think that I know my stuff but I freeze up and get low marks!” Over the years, hundreds of high school students have voiced this concern. When students ‘freeze’ on exams, their low grades often do not reflect their true po- tential! Initially, we thought that a good Study Skills program would overcome this problem. However, when we examined many existing Study Skills programs, we noticed that most of them did not help stu- dents with the problem of freezing. In order to overcome this weak- ness, we eventually had to design our own program! The first step in overcoming a problem like freezing is understanding why it happens. Why do students who have studied hard and seem to know all the ma- terial, “freeze up” on exams and get low marks? Not surprisingly, the answer leads us into the realm of How we learn. Let us consider ‘Freezing on tests”. We all know what that means. We arrive at the test in a state of mind of anxiety which grows as we wait for the pa- pers to be passed around. Sudden- ly, the teacher tells us to, “Turn over your papers now and begin.” We flip the paper over and look at the first question. It looks a little famil- iar but we don’t exactly remember how to do it so we go on to the sec- ond; we’ll come back to the first as soon as we remember . Then the trouble begins. Each question looks more and more like a foreign language. We only remember a lit- tle of each so we try to ‘fake’ it. That is called ‘freezing’. We strug- gle and struggle to remember and in so doing, actually lock the infor- mation farther and farther away from ourselves. Our struggles ‘freeze’ us up even tighter. Why does this happen? What can we do to prevent it from hap- pening? Our first mistake is that we focus too much on attempting to get students past these feelings The feelings of fear and apprehen- sion are NOT the problem! The real problem is simply that we freeze when we ask our memory to recall information which we have filed incorrectly. These days, when students learn a skill, it is often just memorized- not really understood. A typical student sits through a class just ‘sort-of’ listening. The information maybe understood but it is only placed in the short-term memory and soon disappears. This information is left until an exam is called then the process of ‘cram- ming’ begins. But cramming just jams the stuff into our heads and does not integrate it with other sim- ilar and or related information. Even if your are calm and relaxed - not like in an exam - it is hard to re- member information memorized this way. When you sit for an exam and frantically begin to search for missing files, the memory does not associate well. Mix a little anxiety in and you get the classic exam freeze. If you had filed this infor- mation in the correct place - prop- erly associated with similar infor- mation and fully understood - then retrieving it is easy. Even if you forget the direct data, you will find your way there by carefully follow- ing related similar or linked data. The secret to overcoming ‘freezing and forgetting’ begins in the class- room well BEFORE the exam! It lies in learning to shift from a pas- sive mind set - “I’ll just sit here while the teacher teaches me” - to a more effective and aggressive model, an ACTIVE process - I want to understand - to know! Use the active process in-class for listening and reading -Question, Summarize and Integrate. Then, spend 10 min- utes per subject every night and summarize the day’s lesson into study notes. Break the information down into Main Idea, Supporting Details and Sub Details. Make these notes short and in point form in YOUR OWN WORDS! Review these notes 48 hours later. Don’t memorize, just make sure you fully understand what they mean and what the information is about. Make the note into a story or com- plete picture. use visualization if possible. Unfreezing on exams de- pends upon how you learn not in what you do on the exam. No amount of deep breathing or relax- ation will help you ding informa- tion that is filed incorrectly. Under- stand and file correctly in the first place and freezing on exams is a thing of the past. Oxford Learning Centres teach students how to take notes, be organized, write essays and study so they can be more successful in school.

A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 6, 2002 www.durhamregion.com BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Penneye Robinson has a cure for road rage — driving a school bus. The responsibility of busing roughly 30 ele- mentary students to school twice a day, safely, has erased any traces of the malaise from her system and carried over to driving a car. “Better to get there late and safe than to take any risks,” Ms. Robinson says. Before leaving the MacKenzie Avenue yard to pick up students, the Ajax Laidlaw Transit driver goes through an extensive safety check- list, first popping the hood to check engine flu- ids, connectors, wires and hoses. After making sure no one has tampered with the gas tank, she fires up the bus and then there’s more checking to do: are the seats secure? Will the emergency exits open? Are the brakes work- ing properly? While this is Ms. Robin- son’s daily routine, the issue of safety is in the spotlight Oct. 7 to 11 for School Bus Safety Week. According to the Province, about 800,000 students are delivered to and from home each day across Ontario. When she is satisfied the bus is fit and ready for pas- sengers, she wheels out of the yard to pick up students headed to St. Francis de Sales Catholic School. “My biggest concern dri- ving the bus is the kinder- garten kids in the afternoon, making sure they’re met by a parent or go home with a guardian,” she says. “I’ve actually phoned parents to make sure kids got home OK (if they went home in a group of students).” On the bus itself, Ms. Robinson says it’s impor- tant to make sure all the kids are sitting down. “If there’s a collision and they’re not sitting in their seats, they’re not protected,” she explains. As Ms. Robinson approaches a rail crossing, she slows the bus and comes to a stop. It’s an in- active crossing, no longer used by trains. But, because the crossing sym- bol is posted, she stops, opens the bus door, looks and listens before proceeding. Grade 7 student Dana Bandola is among the students to board the bus and is quick with a reply when asked what she knows about school bus safety rules. “No yelling, no walking when the bus is moving, no eating or drinking,” she says. Rhea Bowman, also in Grade 7, says students received a refresher course to start the year. “Our principal this year had a meet- ing with all the bus students to go over the rules,” she explains. Grade 4 student Peter Lerant chimes in with an important safety tip. “If there’s a fire and someone’s trapped, you should help them out,” he says. Mr. Robinson pulls up to a stop where a few kids board the bus. Until now, all the passengers have been curb- side. But, at this stop, one student is across the street. With the school lights and STOP sign flashing, she activates the stopper arm, designed to keep students out of the danger zone at the front of the vehicle, where the driver cannot see a child. After ensuring no cars are coming, Ms. Robinson gives the boy a wave, and he darts across the street. “You don’t have to run across the road, OK?” Ms. Robinson says as he climbs aboard. As they near the school, the students are getting a bit rambunctious and mov- ing around the bus, so she demonstrates what she calls her “bus driver’s voice”. “Can you guys sit down please; thank you,” Ms. Robinson says loudly, restor- ing order. Asked if Ms. Robinson is a good dri- ver, a chorus of voices respond ‘yes’. Handling with care It’s safety first when delivering our kids Safe and secure.Penneye Robinson gives the interior of her bus the once-over as part of her pre-route safety routine. Top, Ms. Robinson keeps an eye on the road as a young student crosses to board her bus. Practice makes perfect. St. Francis de Sales students go through this evacuation exercise as part of regular safety re- minders. Getting a helping hand is Sarah Matthews, as Victoria Charette looks on. All aboard!

Since then, two other Centres, one in Oshawa and the other in Ajax, have opened to serve the growing needs of our communities. The Edge Defense Centres focus mainly on the needs of children from ages 4 - 15 with over 1000 students in the three schools. Three of the many benefits of taking classes at The Edge Defense Centre are confidence, discipline and leadership skills. Students can expect to gain strength needed to succeed in life says Dave Couch, owner and director of the facilities. It is also our motto that we follow. A large part of the success of the Whitby and Oshawa locations is the high level of professional training the instructors undergo in order to serve students better. This will be carried over to the new 2,500 square foot, beautifully renovated, Ajax facility as well. Dave Couch, is a 4th degree black belt in Karate and Ju Jitsu and Helen Couch, director of operations, holds a 2nd degree black belt in Karate and Ju Jitsu. Her former occupation as a Metro Police Officer and Police Foundation Instructor gives her just the right perspective to run the womens programs. Rebecca Kanstein, director of marketing, is also the head of the Cardio Kickboxing programs offered at the facility. Joining a Martial Arts program can really help children deal with bullying problems and help with street proofing. Fun and exciting is how Shawn Walker, director of instruction, describes the childrens programs. Shawn is a 1st degree black belt in Karate and Ju Jitsu. The Edge Defense Centre is involved with many organizations in the Durham Region, including the Durham District School Board, where they have continued to give quality Martial Arts education to the students and faculty for over 10 years. Registration for fall and winter classes is being accepted at all three facilities. New students are invited to come into the Centre, meet with the staff, watch a class and view the facilities before making the decision to join.

Excess holidaypounds, cabin fever and themore revealing look of warm weather clothes drives hordesof people to gyms and aerobicclasses. The problem, as so many have experienced, issticking with the program formore than a month. The reasons for dumping thetime previously devoted tophysical health are varied, and often justifiable: The pace atwork has picked up, the kidsare involved in spring activities, youve alreadydropped eight pounds, etc. Butwhat happens next becomes a tortuous standard procedureevery year. We join a club orengage in a program, derive a few benefits and then file itaway as something that wasinconvenient to our lifestyle. Deep down. though, we knowthe truth. Sticking with a goodplan, recommended by our family physician, is not onlygood for us, but for ourspouses and kids as well. As shown by a multitude ofresearch, regular exerciseprevents obesity and high blood pressure, lowers ourcholesterol, improves ourdisposition and possibly increases our lifespan. memory,sexual health, sleep patternsand overall muscular strength. But to stay fit, one has to staymotivated, which of course iseasier said than done. When you look at the truefitness freaks around you, youmay notice in some an almost slavish devotion to exercise.Not for you? Then look atthose who seem fit, but arent wearing shorts and runningshoes as pan of their everydayapparel. How do they do it? The secret in maintainingexercise or diet motivation liesin sources outside of ourselves. The old maxim of the flesh iswilling but the spirit is weak isnever more true than when faced with a workout. Goingsolo is tough work; we all needan impetus, usually more than a spouse that says, Say, Hon,youre getting a little softaround the middle. Here are some ways to get that neededworkout or diet stimulus Do it with a friend. No, thisdoesnt mean your spouse, evenif you consider them yourbest friend in the world.Spouses tend to excuse eachother too much. Enlist a friendwith similar goals,and make a pact to keep eachother on task and working toward a specific goal. Vownot to let each other down. nomatter how much your thighs hurt after a step class.Enlist the family. This is farbetter than just enlisting a spouse, as kids will usually wantto go to the health clubwhenever theyre the slightest bit bored, especially if theresa swimming pool or cuteguys/girls involved. They will also like to stay later for thosereasons, too. Besides, workouttime can also be a family- quality time when you swim. runis or shoot hoops together.Find a personal trainer. Once a luxury of only the rich andfamous, the personal trainerindustry has grown to where there are competent trainersin the smallest of communities.Many charge just an hourly rate, and if they cant keep youon task, nothing will. If yourereally serious about your fitness but cant stick to yourgoals, a personal trainer willalmost surely get you there. Lacking human support, govideo. Sometimes its just notpossible to join a club, recruit a friend or make it toscheduled classes on time.Although easy to excuse, a video constantly in the VCRmay persuade you to take sometime everyday to exercise. Increase the opportunity towork out by leaving nice openspace to follow the video routines, and set aside acertain time of a day (afterthe kids are in school, before or after work) when its easyto hit the play button on theremote. Think of the video instructor as someone vou wantto visit everyday, and makesure that you keep the tape on for gradually longer periods.Motivation is the key to anyexercise program. If you dont want to do it for yourself thendo it for your family. Theywould probably like to keep you around for a few more years.

Hepatitis C group holds monthly meetings BY JEREMY LE PAGE Staff Writer DURHAM ––A report from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care stating a breach of the Privacy Act occurred at a former psychi- atric facility is being taken “very seriously,” say repre- sentatives of the Whitby Mental Health Centre (WMHC). The 11-page report in- cludes results of a five-month investigation by Mumtaz Jiwan, mediator at the min- istry’s Information and Priva- cy Commission (IPC). The report follows the discovery of records containing person- al information of staff and pa- tients at a former WMHC building during a labour strike last spring. More records may still be inside the unoccupied build- ing, say Ontario Public Ser- vice Employees Union repre- sentatives. WMHC administrator Ron Ballantyne says efforts to respond to the report have already begun. “We totally agree with the report,” he says. “We’re not disputing the findings.” The building, located just north of the current mental health facility, has been va- cant since the WMHC’s move to its new site in 1996. It was rented to OPSEU for $500 per month by the owner during the provincewide labour dispute last March. The report says two OPSEU members, whose names aren’t being released, found documents strewn through- out a number of empty rooms in the rented building. “It ap- peared as if the place had been vandalized and the paper deliberately thrown about,” states the evidence of one witness. Records found in the building are dated from 1977 to the early 1990s. “It ap- peared most of the records originated with the Occupa- tional Therapy department,” Ms. Jiwan states in the report. “Not all, but certainly many of the records contain the personal information of both patients and staff,” she wrote. Listed documents include: staff attendance, wage nego- tiations, expense records and advances, canteen accounts, folders of cash sales, with- drawal books and clinical records deficiencies lists. OPSEU Local 331 presi- dent Joan Gates says she is glad the Privacy Commission is acknowledging the prob- lem, but says the report con- firms more private files may still be in the building, which is now locked. According to Ms. Jiwan’s report, “Attempts to contact the current owner of the old WMHC site for permission to enter the buildings in order to secure any documents that might still be there had not been successful to date.” Building owner Zoran Bakich declined comment when contacted. Ms. Gates says OPSEU members were shocked to find the documents, and says some employees at the health facility found their own per- sonal documents at the site. One woman found her re- sume loose in the building, she says. The possibility doc- uments still remain in the building concern staff, she says, especially since kids break in and vandalize build- ings at the site on a regular basis. “Those buildings are derelict,” she adds. “They’re a hangout for kids.” Mr. Ballantyne says work is already taking place to deal with the problem. He says a serious effort is being made by WMHC to meet the report’s recommen- dations, which include using all means possible to recover any remaining documents in the building, and notifying any individuals whose per- sonal information may have been disclosed. The report in- dicates a court order may have to be obtained if the building’s landlord cannot be contacted. There is also a recommen- dation to establish a training program for WMHC employ- ees who deal with personal records. But Mr. Ballantyne says training isn’t an issue. “(This is) a unique circumstance,” he says. It was an unfortunate incident that will never occur again, he explains, adding out of the “many, many records produced, a very small num- ber had personal informa- tion.” The incident was an unfortunate result of the facil- ity’s move several years ago, he says. Mr. Ballantyne suggests the WMHC is “obliged to re- spond to the commissioner.” But what steps have been taken to respond to the report cannot yet be discussed, he adds.

Mental health centre acts on Privacy Commission report Associate minister brings government’s message to local seniors at seminar PICKERING —Improved health and long-term care continues to be delivered to Durham residents, says Dan Newman. The Ontario associate minister of health and long-term care was in Pickering recent- ly, joined by Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker and a group of more than 150 seniors at the recent third annual Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge seniors seminar. “One of the greatest challenges our province and our country faces in the com- ing years is meeting the needs and address- ing the challenges of our growing and aging population,” he told the crowd at the East Shore Community Centre. “Our growing and aging population is a demographic reality that needs answers and solutions.” Mr. Newman reminded those in atten- dance that in 1998 the government an- nounced it would invest more than $1.2 bil- lion to help build and redevelop tens of thou- sands of long-term care beds across the province. He said so far 15,000 new beds have been built or are currently under construction. In Durham, Mr. Newman noted, a total of 733 new long-term care beds have been al- located for construction with 146 new beds already in operation. He also said 584 exist- ing beds in the area would be redeveloped as a part of a plan to upgrade thousands around the province. “There’s no question that each and every one of these beds will make a real difference in the quality of life for those in need of long-term care services,” he added. “But, the fact is there’s more work to be done.” During ongoing consultations and discussions with long-term care stakeholders, Mr. Newman said the government heard the number-one priority was better nursing and personal care. In response, he said the government an- nounced in July a nearly $200-million in- vestment in long-term care, with $100 mil- lion going to nursing and personal care ser- vices across the province. “This funding could see as many as 2,400 nurses and personal care workers added to the long-term care sector, or approximately 3.9 full-time equivalent nursing and person- al care staff per 100 bed facility,” he said. For Durham, it means the 733 new beds and 584 redeveloped beds — a total of 1,317 — would bring roughly 51 new positions. “This will mean even better care for resi- dents today,” he added. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 6, 2002 PAGE 17 A/P Business Hours: Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. 200 John Street, (Midtown Mall), Oshawa (905) 432-7464 420 Crawforth St., Whitby, (Durham Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Centre ) (905) 665-9713 If you are experiencing any hearing difficulties or have any hearing concern please call for an appointment.

Many of these changes are easy to make. Many of the changes require great thought and are filled with concern.

A place where you can enjoy your independence, your individuality and still have your needs cared for if need arises. Ballycliffe itself recognizes it is time for change. We are about to upgrade all our retirement units. We are underway in developing a number of independent living units and would love you to come in and tell us what you want us to do. Do you want efficiency kitchens or fireplaces to warm the winter nights? How about a balcony to sit out on and watch your tomatoes grow in spring?

Connect Florida service • 100 Florida travel minutes • Includes both inbound and outbound calls $20 per month Connect USA service • 100 USA travel minutes • Includes both inbound and outbound calls $40 per month BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Just because you don’t get paid doesn’t mean you’ve retired. For many active seniors in Durham Region retirement is just the beginning of a full-time ca- reer as a volunteer. Roy Forrester, who was re- cently named Senior of the Year in Clarington, knew all about community service while pub- lisher of a smalltown paper for more than 50 years. In the 1950s and early 1960s he was an Orono Police trustee and a member of the local hydro board. An avid outdoorsman, he served on the Ganaraska Conser- vation Authority for a number of years and was its chairman for four of them. “During that time we brought in the outdoor education program and the forest centre,” recalls Mr. Forrester. When he sold the ‘Orono Times’ about five years ago, Mr. Forrester continued to be part of his community and today the 80- year-old continues to serve on the board of directors for Durham Lodge, a 41-unit seniors’ home. He also continues to play in the Clarington Concert Band, a group he joined at the age of 15 when he first picked up a horn. But it is his passion for the outdoors that has been the great- est source of inspiration for Mr. Forrester’s recent volunteer work. As chairman for the Durham Branch of the Oak Ridges Trail Association (ORTA) he has led a pack of dedicated volunteers as they’ve created and marked paths through Durham to hook up with the rest of the Oak Ridges Trail that runs across the top of the GTA. A few years ago he began a skiing program at the Ganaraska Forest. In Durham there are many older adults like Mr. Forrester who have left behind their ‘work life’ only to find a new line of work in the volunteer sector. At Wilmot Creek in Newcas- tle, a group of residents are find- ing a way to use their retail skills to benefit a local women’s shel- ter. Pairs of volunteers head out from the retirement community each day to man a Bowmanville second-hand clothing store to raise money for the shelter. Be- cause the clothes are donated and the residents provide the staffing for free, much of the revenue can be directed right to the shelter. Seniors are proving they still have a lot to offer their communi- ties. Like Mr. Forrester, more than 200 were recently recog- nized with provincial awards as ‘senior of the year’ in their local city or town. In Canada, volunteers 65 and older make up 17 per cent of all volunteer hours and when their counterparts aged 55 to 65 are added in, that number more than doubles, according to the Canadi- an Centre for Philanthropy. The two prime motivations for older volunteers is their belief in the cause and the chance to put their skills to use. Those are certainly two moti- vations for Mr. Forrester, who on Saturday mornings can be found out leading groups of hikers along the trail routes he helped build. In his own words, “It beats lying in bed.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 6, 2002 PAGE 19 A/P It’s one of life’s little dilemmas. You love getting away to spend time in the United States, but you wish it were easier to keep in touch with your friends and family back home in Canada. Taking along a wireless phone is part of the answer, but until now it was hard to know how much those calls were going to cost you. That’s where Bell Mobility comes in. Bell Mobility has introduced two new services that make it easy and affordable for Canadian trav- ellers and Snowbirds visiting the United States to stay connected. Whether you are vacationing in Florida or visiting more than one state, Bell Mobility has a feature that’s right for you. And if you subscribe before November 30, 2002, you will also have a chance to win $500 in U.S. traveller’s cheques. Call in the U.S., pay in Canadian dollars Bell Mobility’s Connect Florida and Connect USA services each include roaming and long distance charges, all for one low monthly rate. And adding them to your existing Bell Mobility rate plan couldn’t be easier. For only $20 a month (Canadian), Connect Florida gives Canadian visitors 100 cellular phone travel minutes good for use anywhere in the Sunshine State. Canadians travelling elsewhere in the United States – including Alaska and Hawaii – can subscribe to Connect USA and take advantage of the same benefits for only $40 a month (Canadian). No other wireless service provider offers this con- venience. Travel insurance for your cell phone Let’s face it; no one wants to have to worry about expensive roaming fees when they’re on vacation. But with Connect USA and Connect Florida you can relax, your roaming costs are covered. Under most calling plans, ‘roaming’ fees are charged because your call is being made from a Canadian cellular phone and transmitted over a net- work owned by a U.S. wireless service provider. As you travel around, these charges can be unpre- dictable and a lot of people have found them prohib- itively expensive. With Connect Florida and Connect USA the unpleasant surprises are gone. You don’t have to worry about where you use your phone or how much it will cost; roaming charges are included in your monthly fee. Think of it as travel insurance for your cell phone. I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more These days, travelling with a cellular phone is the smart thing to do. Whether you get lost, have car troubles, or are concerned about personal security, having a cellular phone can give you peace of mind when you’re on the road and away from home. With Connect USA and Connect Florida you never need to search for a payphone, you don’t have to find the right change to make a call, and you don’t have to worry about remembering a complicated long-distance access code. Your cellular phone works just like it does at home. Best of all, if someone back home needs to get in touch with you they won’t have to go through the effort of tracking you down. Calling you on your cel- lular phone while you are in the United States is just as easy as calling you in Canada. Keep your number With both of Bell Mobility’s new services, con- venience is key. These new services are added to your existing rate plans, which lets Bell Mobility clients hold on to and use their current Canadian cellular phone numbers while travelling in the U.S. By doing this, subscribers avoid the charges they otherwise would have to incur by disconnecting and reconnecting their wireless service during the time they are away. And with Bell Mobility’s convenient range of smart billing options you don’t even have to worry about managing your cellular account while you are away. It’s right for you Connect USA and Connect Florida are available to anyone owning a Bell Mobility digital PCS or 1X- ready phone, and can be added on to most Bell Mobility rate plans. A minimum connection time of two months is required for the Connect Florida serv- ice and one month for the Connect USA service. As an added incentive, Canadian travellers sign- ing up for either service are automatically entered into a give-away draw for $500 worth of traveller’s cheques in U.S. funds. Simple, convenient, affordable – finally, someone has created a cellular phone service that makes it eas- ier to go south without losing touch with the people you care about back home.

Elva Brennan named senior of the year by friendship club AJAX —When Elva Bren- nan retired from Sears after 25 years of work, she wasn’t ready to slow down. “It started bothering me; what to do? I wasn’t ready to stop,” Mrs. Brennan said. So, in 1979, she joined the Ajax Seniors’ Friendship Club and has been on the go ever since. For all volunteer her work, Mrs. Brennan has been named the 2002 senior of the year. “I enjoy it,” she said. “Up to this day, I enjoy it. In one month, I’ll be 89 and I’m still on the go every day. Anyone living in Ajax who is bored and complains they have nothing to do isn’t looking around. There’s lots to do.” Three months after joining the club, Mrs. Brennan began filling in for the treasurer who was ill. She’s held the job ever since. As treasurer, she’s been able to oversee the donation of “thousands and thousands (of dollars) back into the communi- ty. That meant something to me,” Mrs. Brennan said. “I guess (the award) means the last 23 years I was doing something I enjoy doing very much, volunteer work with the Ajax senior citizens’ club. It’s an honour to be recognized.” The award “means a lot” she said, adding, “I didn’t think I’m any better than any senior.” Ajax council also made a re- cent presentation, in which Mayor Steve Parish said, “Elva has been a part of the history of Ajax and remains a very active member of the commu- nity.” A resident of Ajax before it was called Ajax, Mrs. Brennan and her husband Jim moved to the area in 1942 with their three children, Jimmy and twins Geraldine and Gerald. Oct. 8 is the 60th year she’s lived in Ajax. Mr. Brennan was an army land surveyor sent to the area to set up the munitions plant that became Defence Industries Limited. With “twin babies and a son, we came out here,” Mrs. Bren- nan stated. “It was just farm land and lots and lots of snow.” At the time, those living here had to put in a bid for a house, she noted. “My husband came home and said ‘our address will be 7 Mary St. but I don’t have any idea when they will build it’.” Mrs. Brennan continues to live there. In addition to her children, Mrs. Brennan has four grand- children, seven great-grandchil- dren and seven great-great- grandchildren. The seniors’club is at 46 Ex- eter Rd. and the phone number is 905-686-1573. The club has a variety of ac- tivities, Mrs. Brennan noted. “There’s lots for our seniors to keep busy. I realize someone has to take charge of these things and help make them grow.” A/P PAGE 20 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 6, 2002 www.durhamregion.com FINCH BROCK KINGSTON RD.

October is Eye Health Month in Canada and the Eye Health Council of Canada wants everyone to see how important it is to have healthy eyes. Created in 1996 to educate Canadians about the importance of quality eye health care, the Eye Health Council of Canada is a partnership between the Canadian Optometry and Ophthalmic industries. Each October, it orga- nizes a bonanza of events and activities related to eye health. During Eye Health Month, optometrists across the country will be promoting how impor- tant regular eye examina- tions are in ensuring healthy eyes through a variety of ways, such as by distributing educa- tional materials and speaking in schools, community groups and clubs. On a national level, a major eye health awareness campaign will also be launched. Posters, booklets, book- marks and magnets will also be distributed as part of this campaign. The older we get, the more we need to care for our eyes. It's important that seniors don't let age- related eye problems interfere with their active lives. Many seniors fear they might have to one day limit or even stop many of their favourite activities. Fortunately, there are many things that can be done to reduce the impacts of altered vision, allowing seniors to continue their active lifestyles. The most important step you can take toward protect- ing your vision is to have your eyes examined every year to monitor any changes in vision, to verify the health of your eyes, and to provide you with tools that can help you adapt to age-related vision loss.

Today’s senior citizen is generally living a healthy, active life. Many of our seniors take part in at least one physical activity each week. Most seniors are not satisfied with chair rocking to pass the time. They are quite able to make a con- siderable contribution to society, each in their own way. Seniors have accumulat- ed a wealth of knowledge that they are willing to share. While some seniors have mas- tered the internet and can be found plan- ning their next trip, others are learning Tai Chi and Yoga. Still, other have returned to school to learn new skills and arts. Some have taken up line dancing or are learning to play a musical instrument. Today’s seniors look good and enjoy independence and self esteem. They have been frugal with their finances and are now in the position to spend money on themselves and enjoy their retirement. Doesn’t this sound like you? Why not? Perhaps it is time to take up a new interest! Join us at Greenwood Yoga. Find out that you can do yoga at your own pace in a class just for seniors. Or try Tai Chi! You will meet other seniors who want to expand their interests. If you have been sitting around wondering what the day will offer, perhaps it’s time you take the bull by the horns and put something new into your day! Yoga and Tai Chi help to build strong spirits, young hearts and active minds. At Greenwood Yoga, we care enough to think about your needs and those of the community and invite you to grow young and stay active. Call Nicole at 905-619-1405 to register for daytime classes for Seniors in Yoga or Tai Chi. Do you start the day off with great intentions of eating right, but by the end of the day done the oppo- site? Are there certain foods that you eat every day? Do foods control you? Do you eat well for a couple of days then binge on something sud- denly? Are symptoms overwhelm- ing you? If you are experiencing any of the above, then you are in need of a food sensitivity test and a health assessment. The combination of a food sensitivity test and health assessment is guaranteed to supply you with information to improve your health and well-being, and no one is exempt from this fact. The first sign of dis-ease is a lack of ener- gy. So regardless of your symp- toms, whether it be excess weight, irritable bowel, constipation, PMS, eczema, acid reflux, sinusitis, high cholesterol, ADHD or high blood pressure, the prevention is up to you and a Nutritional Health Consultant to guide you back to health. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and FOOD create imbalances. Even healthy nutritious food can be the culprit, if a person has a sensitivity to it, or if the liver is too congested. Today, in many cases, stress is at an all-time high, the demands on the body are great, and the liver is often overburdened. People that react to everything such as the envi- ronmental substances, raw vegeta- bles and fruits, animals, etc. need to support and cleanse their liver to restore balance. Become knowl- edgeable about your biggest asset, your body, and ask a professional to get you started on the path to life’s highest reward your vibrant health. Start now by listening to your body. If you have numerous symptoms and feel drained and overwhelmed, there is still help for you!

BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Iris Stromberg can’t believe her good fortune — or her eyes. “I tell you, you would never have recognized this place before today,” she says, shaking her head. Where there were once weeds taking over her flowerbeds, there are now freshly planted daffodil and hyacinth bulbs getting set to winter. Two overpowering bushes have been cut back to reveal the front windows of her Modlin Road bungalow. These are all things the 80-year-old has wanted to do for some time — she’s had the bulbs since her birthday in April — but she just could- n’t do it all on her own. Enter ‘Days of Caring’, a Royal Bank initiative de- signed to raise awareness about the needs of local se- niors. About 17 bank employees from Ajax and Pickering spent most of Oct. 3 washing windows, raking yards and doing other household chores after being matched up with 12 seniors by Ajax-Pickering Community Care. While Royal Bank has been involved in the program for a number of years, it’s the first time it has been held lo- cally. Organizers hope to make it an annual event. Jane Gilbert admits she was a little out of her element Thursday. “I don’t even mow the lawn at home or do yard work,” says the manager of personal finance services at the Whites Road and Hwy. 2 branch. But the idea of help- ing seniors sounded fun, she says. Now she and her col- leagues are planning to make a return visit next spring to Mrs. Stromberg’s house. They want to see how the daf- fodils and hyacinths look in full bloom and to check on the health of the bushes. Heather Tim, executive di- rector of Ajax-Pickering Community Care, says her organization serves 1,000 clients, most of them frail se- niors. “We have a home mainte- nance program for lawn cut- ting and gardening in which we use students,” she says. “But the clients have to pay for that. Today is free.” And no one was happier than Mrs. Stromberg to hear about the help that arrived at her door, bright and early at 9 a.m. “Of course, my reaction was (I was ) grateful,” she adds. The United Way of Ajax- Pickering facilitated the part- nership between Community Care, one of its member agencies, and Royal Bank, one of its largest corporate donors. “Community capacity building is at its best when local residents partner with local agencies to provide sup- port to our neighbours and friends facing challenges,” says United Way spokesman Gwen Noble. The United Way is cur- rently in the middle of its $1.5 million fund-raising campaign.

The Whitby-Ajax MPP says the project is far enough into the works that he can confidently say it will pro- ceed next year, despite lengthy delays since it was first announced in 1995 by the former NDP government. “I have been assured by Super- Build the shovel will be in the ground by 2003,” said Mr. Flaherty. Super- Build is a government agency respon- sible for the provincial funding of in- frastructure projects. Many of the projects under its purview, including the courthouse project, are public/pri- vate partnerships. “This is the first time there has been a private/public partnership on a courthouse facility,” Mr. Flaherty said, noting the precedent-setting sit- uation did cause some delays in the process. However, the project will be worth the wait, promises the MPP, who says it will be a “centrepiece for Durham Region.” The project will feature secure court facilities and a public space possibly with some commercial and residential areas as well, he says. “This will be a dramatic public space. The whole idea is not just a court building,” he says. As of yet the location is unknown, because it will depend upon which of the qualified bidders now going through the proposal process is cho- sen to build the facility. “I don’t know the location, inten- tionally. This has been kept from elected people,” says Mr. Flaherty. SuperBuild will be looking for the “best site and the best arrangement for the taxpayers. “This has been a process of Super- Build qualifying bidders. It’s being done by SuperBuild, not politicians.” Mr. Flaherty said he understands the strong outcry for the courthouse project. “I certainly have heard from a number of regional councillors on this and there absolutely is a need. We have pushed hard to get the pro- ject going.” Calls for a new courthouse were renewed after the accused murderer escaped police custody outside the courthouse at 650 Rossland Rd. in Whitby last Friday. Mr. Flaherty points out he has been investigating the courthouse progress for the past two months.

Playing on a picture-perfect fall evening under the lights, complete with a halftime show from the school’s cheerleading corps and performing in front of a large, par- tisan crowd, the Chargers got the job done on offence, while a patched together crew of backup defensive players rose impressively to the occasion. Most importantly, the Chargers kept their undefeated league record intact. DO’C improved to 3-0 with a solid 28-7 victory over the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior boys’ football action. The DO’C fans, it seems, were expecting more fireworks from the Chargers’ vaunted offence, led by quarterback James Leckey, last sea- son’s league most valuable player. They got that and a lot more, both on the field and up in the sky, where fireworks exploded after each major score by the home side. Chargers’ coach Dennis Gazarek noted his team’s 3-0 record is well deserved. “Everybody has accused us of having a soft schedule, but nobody has laid down for us. That showed last week when we played Sinclair (Secondary School Celtics) who played some real smash-mouth football against us. We had real trouble scoring against them. We’re really proud to be 3-0,” he ex- plained. This game in particular, noted Gazarek, the Chargers needed to play with intensity and resolve as several players were out of the line- up due to injuries and illness, in- cluding the starters on the defen- sive line. In addition, relatives of two players had suffered heart at- tacks. The game was dedicated to them. “Our defence held together tonight,” noted Gazarek, adding the backups filled in admirably. “Uxbridge came out and trampled us on their first possession, but we pulled it together the rest of the way.” Missing key players, however, hampered the Chargers as they were a little less disciplined than is normally the case, noted Gazarek. The team took too many penalties, which almost took its toll on the club. “We hurt ourselves a lot. We took a lot of stupid penalties. But, there were so many (lineup) changes, so many players who were ill. We were sloppy. Every game this year we’ve been crisp, but this time it nearly killed us,” he said. For their part, the Tigers were also on the receiving end of numer- ous penalty calls, especially on of- fence and in the second half when penalties essentially stymied any progress by the offence. Uxbridge’s opening drive cul- minated in running back Thomas Eng blasting up the middle for a 10-yard run into the end zone. James Whyte kicked the convert for a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, however, the Chargers’ offence went to work. The first major was set up by a 40-yard run by running back Dan West. Scoring the touchdown was Leckey, who ran six yards into the end zone. Erik Martinez was good on the convert. The Chargers took the lead for good in the second quarter as Leck- ey hooked up with Keith Godding on a pass-and-run play that put DO’C first-and-10 on the Uxbridge 10-yard line. Later in the series, Leckey called his own number and barged in for the major. Martinez was again good on the convert. After a scoreless third quarter, the Chargers got down to business by scoring two more touchdowns in the fourth. Leckey hit favourite receiver Godding with a cross-field pass, with Godding doing the rest in finding the end zone. Another Martinez convert put DO’C up 21- 7. A long series on the ground cul- minated in the Chargers’ final touchdown. Mike Yaskovitch car- ried the bulk of the load on the se- ries, capping it off with a one-yard scoring run. Following a bye next week, DO’C hosts Whitby’s Henry Street High School Hawks Thursday, Oct. 17 at the school at 7 p.m. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Uxbridge Tigers’Nolan Ott (54) cuts to the outside to avoid a Denis O’Connor Chargers tackler dur- ing LOSSA senior football action at DO’C Thursday night. The Chargers won 28-7. BY BRAD KELLY Staff Writer DURHAM –– Three local ath- letes are holding their breath in an- ticipation of the Canada Winter Games. And, considering their sport, the practice won’t do them any harm. Synchronized swimmers Jen- nifer Bell, Katharine Cornish and Jenilee Keslering have been select- ed to the team to represent Ontario at the Canada Winter Games next February in New Brunswick. The local contingent was se- lected from an original group of 25 hopefuls who were attempting to be selected to the provincial team. That number was whittled down to 15, and from that, a nine-member team was selected. Eight members of the team will participate in the Games, while the ninth will make the trip, but be designated an alternate, says Team Ontario coach Elena Polodsky. She lists the strong individual skills of each athlete as one of the aspects she was looking for in comprising the team. “Strong skills, good routines and presentation skills,” all fac- tored into the decision, she says. Bell, an Ajax resident who is studying Business at the Universi- ty of Toronto , trains under Polod- sky at the Optima Synchro Club. Keslering and Cornish train at the Durham Synchro Swim Club under coach Holley Lundmark. A student at McLaughlin Colle- giate, Keslering, of Whitby, cur- rently trains at the Junior (15-18) National Level. Cornish, of Ajax, attends Pick- ering High School and also trains at the Junior National Level with the DSSC. Polodsky says one of the chal- lenges will be bringing girls to- gether from different clubs in order to form one team. “It’s going to be quite hard,” she says of trying to pull together a closely-knit team in time for the Games. “The goal is going to be to get them together so they can get to know each other better and do some team bonding.” RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo From left, Katharine Cornish, Jenilee Keslering and Jennifer Bell were named to Team Ontario to compete in synchronized swimmer at the Canada Winter Games in 2003.

Not only did Pickering de- fend its league title with a record of 11-2-1, but it also repeated as the Central Girls’ Soccer League (CGSL) Cup champs. With the cup on the line, the local girls put on a fine display of soccer to prevail 3-0 over Richmond Hill. An indirect kick in the first two minutes by Arin King plant- ed the ball deep in the Rich- mond Hill net and gave the Power an early lead. Shortly into the second half,Amber Pol- lari intercepted a pass and scored Pickering’s second goal, followed later by Katrina Clarke. It was the third shutout of the cup play for Sarah Dobush. Power scored a 2-0 semifinal win over Ajax on goals by Pol- lari and Michelle Dixon. The quarter-final draw pitted Pickering against Whitby — the first- and second-place teams in the league. Midway through the first half a well-placed kick by Kailey Chappell produced the only goal in a 1-0 victory. The team also had a very suc- cessful summer in tournament play. Some of the highlights in- cluded the Robbie tournament where the team cruised to a per- fect inter-division record of 4-0 and then suffered a heartbreak- ing loss on penalty kicks in the semifinal to the tough North Mississauga Twisters. The team also made the finals in three of their other four tournaments. Pickering now moves up to the under-12 Premiere division and is looking forward to partic- ipating in the Ontario Cup as well as defending its league and cup titles for a third year run- ning.

Fire Prevention Week claims its roots from the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, causing most of its damage on the following day. This year Fire Prevention Week is October 6 - 12 and the theme is “Team Up for Fire Safety™”. We hope everyone in our community will team up with firefighters to learn how to prevent and protect themselves from fire. Whitby Fire and Emergency Services is planning activities that will help teach you and your family how to stay safe. What should Fire Prevention Week mean to your family? It should be a time to make sure that your home will stay free from fire. It’s an opportunity to hunt for fire hazards, to check electrical wiring for fraying, to have the chimney cleaned, to store matches away from children – to make certain you and your family won’t be counted among the statistics of injured or killed by fire each year. Smoke alarms are the best and simplest tools to alert us to fire. If only firefighters could snap their fingers and supply everyone with working smoke alarms, listed by a qualified testing laboratory, for every level of their homes. If only everyone tested their alarms every month, put in a fresh battery twice a year, and replaced alarms when they were more than 10 years old … firefighters would feel more confident about the ability of families to survive a home fire. Something so simple and so inexpensive really makes a world of difference when the time comes to being alerted to fire. It’s hard to believe that despite smoke alarms being available to consumers for many years, half of all home fire deaths occur in homes that do not have smoke alarms. In addition, many households (maybe yours?) lack the proper number – at least one on every level, including the basement. In Whitby, firefighters have seen with our own eyes the difference between a home protected by adequate smoke alarms and those without them. Help us save lives by taking action today to ensure your family is well equipped to survive a fire in your home. Smoke alarms provide an important early warning. But don’t stop there. An escape plan is part of a good overall home fire safety plan. With everyone in your household, plan two escape routes from every room and have a central meeting place outside, like a tree or a hydrant. Then practice your home fire drill at least twice a year. Fire Prevention Week provides a great opportunity to plan and conduct a home fire drill with every member of your household. Remembering the devastation of the Great Chicago Fire will inspire us for years to come to work together to make the Town of Whitby the most fire safe community in North America. A fire is no fun ... but practicing fire safety can be. Plan two escape routes from every room and practice home fire drills. Team up for Fire Safety! Judi Longfield, M.P.

The Trany creates the different ratios for speed and power. This is done by applying different combinations of clutch- es and or bands, by means of hydraulic pressure. A certain volume of trany fluid should flow from the oil pan through the filter, to the pump. Pump builds up pres- sure, which in turn, is directed to the appropriate clutch or band. Lower than specified fluid pressure, will result in clutch slippage, which causes clutch friction discs wear. Wearing clutch- es leave their dust suspend in the fluid, which flows back to the oil pan. Fluid cycle is: From oil pan, through the filter, to pump, to clutch packs, then back to the oil pan. The FILTER picks up dust particles released from clutch discs, and any other form of dirt caused by wearing parts. A partially plugged filter will reduce the volume flow to the pump resulting in starvation, causing lower and lower pres- sure, consequently more slippage and more dust. More dust will plug the filter more and more and cause major trany failure. Avoid having major trany failure!!! Have your car trany serviced now!!!

You faced your pain with courage, Until the very end. God saw you getting tired, A cure was not to be. He wrapped you in His loving arms And whispered "Come to Me." It broke my heart to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you The day God took you home. But every time I think of you I seem to hear God say, Have faith and trust, my promise, You'll meet again someday.

PURCELL, Stanley Joseph - Born April 24, 1930, Toronto, passed away peacefully from illness at Campbellford Memorial Hospital on October 2, 2002. His smile and brilliant blue eyes will be missed by his family Olivia Ruth, Martin, Cheryl, Chris, Jenny and granddaugh- ter Alexis. A craftsman, artist and musician who enjoyed sailing Frenchman's Bay. A welder for Local 128, who also contributed to the Pickering community since 1964. He en- joyed coaching hockey and was a kind, gen- erous man, who you couldn't keep off the dance floor. He passed on his passion for the outdoors and a deep respect for nature to his children. Thanks Dad. He spent his last year being cared for lovingly at Ambrichey Manor in Hastings, ON. Thank you Darrin and Lee Anne Baldini, you brought him much joy.
