Home My WebLink AboutNA2003_06_15Pickering assistant on board’s list of 80 in SARS-related quarantine BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writers DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Eighty public school board students and staff members are in quarantine. However Mark Joel, the Durham District School Board's operations superintendent, said as far as he's aware, none have been diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), but are in voluntary quarantine. "The vast majority of them are in the Whitby area and they're almost all related to the quaran- tine from Lakeridge Whitby and the surrounding retirement homes," he said. As of Thursday, he said the 80 people are comprised of 41 ele- mentary and 16 secondary stu- dents, eight teachers, eight edu- cational assistants and two principals. An additional five are other staff such as custodians or lunchroom supervisors. The list includes an educa- tional assistant from a Pickering school. Mo re than half of the affected elementary students are in Grade 7 at Palmerston Avenue Public School. Mr. Joel said they formed a partnership with Colo- nial Retirement Home residents and celebrated it with a year- end event June 5. The home is now on the Durham Region health department's list of six potential exposure sites in the reg ion. "Their quarantine lifts on Sun- day night, providing there are no symptoms," he said.

An inquest into the death of 46-year-old Edward Cox takes place July 14 at 10 a.m. in Supe- rior Court, 605 Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby. "Under the Coroner's Act, an inquest is mandatory if anyone dies from an accident during the course of their employment at a construction site, quarry pit or mine," explained Dr. William Lucas, regional super- vising coroner for Central Re- gion. Mr. Cox died June 14, 2001 after falling from his crane tower at a construction site on Glen Hill Drive in Whitby.

"It's my recollection that the conclusion was he died in essence from blunt trauma in- juries suffered in the fall," said Dr. Lucas, who expects the in- quest to take about three days. "I don't think there will be a large number of witnesses. There should be blood tests and toxicology presented as evidence," he added. The underlying reasons be- hind such an exercise is to make public the facts and cir- cumstances of Mr. Cox's death and to determine if there are any opportunities for changes to be made to im- prove worker safety, Dr. Lucas said. Dr. Karen Smith will pre- side as inquest coroner, with Sunita Malik, assistant crown attorney for Durham acting as counsel. Inquest will examine death ✦ Inquest from page 1 Cutting case on hold until December Scheduling forces delay in proceedings PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----There could be snow covering the Duffin-Rouge Agricul- tural Preserve by the time allega- tions of illegal tree cutting there are presented before a judge. Pickering has charged local farm- ers Ryan, Chris and Richard Burk- holder, along with Rosebank Farms Inc, with 332 counts each of violat- ing the Durham Region tree bylaw. The case was put over until Dec. 22 by a Provincial Offences Court judge Friday. Most of the delay is due to the fact the case will require about five days of court time, which is difficult to schedule, explained Pickering City clerk Bruce Taylor. Pickering's bylaw department has determined more than 1,000 trees had been cut in the area of Rosebank Road and the 4th Con- cession in late March. The 332 charges represent the number of trees cut that violate the reg ional bylaw. Durham's bylaw requires owners of woodlots to not only notify the municipality before any cutting takes place but to respect certain species and sizes of trees. Pickering faced similar delays when it took the owner of a Kinsale land filling operation to court earli- er this year, added Mr. Taylor. Charges in that incident were laid in September but because it re- quired three days of court time, the case wasn't heard until March. The only reason it was heard that soon was because lawyers opted for a more remote courthouse in Bow- manville, he said.

Jim Flaherty says they'll still make trips here BByy JJeerreemmyy LLee PPaaggee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– The British are coming, the British are coming... despite the SARS scare, says Whitby- Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty. The outlook is positive in the United Kingdom, says Mr. Flaherty, minister of enterprise, opportunity and innovation. When it comes to potential tourism for Ontario, the province usually averages about 450,000 visitors each year from the European nation, at an average 10-day stay per person. Mr. Flaherty met with media and tourism repre- sentatives near London this week, discussing the important business rela- tionship Ontario and the U.K. have. In fact, the U.K. is the second largest source of foreign invest- ment in Ontario, and the province is home to over 80 British manufacturing subsidiaries. But travel between the two Queen-adoring na- tions is big bucks. "(Tourism) is a huge in- dustry," he adds. The British aren't being tainted by international media the same way as many other countries, and realize the portrayals on television with masks on the street and people hid- ing in their homes "is not actually what's happen- ing." They are a bit more sen- sitive to such situations, adds Mr. Flaherty. "They've been through Mad Cow scares... So they seem to have an under- standing as long as the sit- uation is managed well," says the MPP. However, British tourism operators suggest- ed more marketing is needed in the country, to remind potential travellers that the doors are open for business in Ontario, he says. "I'm going to follow up on that," notes Mr. Flaherty, who says the strongest season for U.K. tourists will likely be July through to the fall Mr. Flaherty has also spent time recently in the U.S. - Ontario's largest trading and tourism part- ner outside Canada - pro- moting the province. Along with telling Americans that Ontario is still a safe and enjoyable destination for tourists, reminding them of Ontario's support for the War in Iraq is also important, says Mr. Fla- herty, especially the far- ther south you go. "We were clear in our support," he explains about the war. "They need to be reminded we're friends and have a long his- tory together." The MPP is scheduled to go to Atlanta for Canada Day, he says, and show On- tario's support on July 4, Independence Day in the U.S. "We have to work at it,' says Mr. Flaherty. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 15, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P 1895 Clements Rd. #135 Pickering Serving Durham Region Since 1987 www.advantageairtech.com Heat and Cool Pr ofessionals Call Us Before You Buy! • Best Value • Best Installation • Best Service Central Air Conditioning SALE Low Monthly Payments Available 905-683-4477 Brock North Dental OPEN EVENINGS & SATURDAY CONTACT US AT 905-427-7773 • DIGITAL X-RAY • INTRA ORAL CAMERA • TV IN OPERATORIES • KIDS PLAY STATION 2 • DIRECT BILLING TO INSURANCE NOW ACCEPTING N EW PATIENTS 2200 Brock Road in the Brock North Plaza Dr. Fernandes, Jill, Robbin,Mary, Michele, Michelle, Donna, Vanda, Dr. Pacione, Angie, Angela, Brenda, Dr. Sbaraglia ( Anaesthesiologist) Not Shown - Dr. Dagher (Endodontist), Anna, Julianne Coming Soon-Orthodontist • FREE 2nd Opinion Consultation • Chemiclave Sterilization • Mercury Free White Fillings EMERGENCY PAGER 905-831-6666 195 WESTNEY RD.

Former regional councillor Doug Dickerson filed his nom- ination papers for the post Tuesday at 11:20 a.m., accord- ing to the City's Web site. "I'm not satisfied with the leadership of the City," he said. "I'm not convinced the tax in- creases have been necessary considering we have had some growth and I'm not satisfied with Pickering's environmen- tal protection measures." This is Mr. Dickerson's sec- ond bid for mayor, after failing to secure the post in 1980. He served four non-consecutive terms as regional councillor in Wa rd 2 from 1978 to 2000, but dropped out of the 2000 elec- tion, which led to the acclama- tion of Mark Holland. He challenges Mayor Wayne Arthurs, who has worn Picker- ing's mayoral chains since 1988. Mayor Arthurs hasn't faced a serious contest since 1994, when he squeezed out Ward 2 Regional Councillor Kip Van Kempen by a 127-vote margin, said City clerk Bruce Taylor. In most cases, the mayor has managed to finish well ahead of most of his competi- tors, including council incum- bents Sherry Senis and Enrico Pistritto in 1997, and even for- mer cabinet member George Ash in 1988, pointed out Mr. Taylor. He wouldn't hazard a guess as to how this year's race would end. But it could certainly be in- teresting depending upon when a provincial election is called now that Mayor Arthurs is also the local Liber- al candidate. If a provincial election is set for after the municipal elec- tion and Mayor Arthurs is re- elected and wins the MPP seat too, Mr. Taylor said the mayor would have to vacate the mu- nicipal post. Council would then have to decide to fill the spot by appointment or by- election. The second-place finisher would not automatically be- come mayor, he said. There are no other candi- dates for mayor at this point. Mayor’s race begins DDOOUUGG DDIICCKKEERRSSOONN Af ter mayor’s post. DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A recent police crackdown on street gang ac- tivity in the Ajax-Pickering area has led to nearly 300 charges against 88 young peo- ple. The six-week Durham Re- g ional Police investigation, dubbed 'Project Cage', in- volved about 20 uniform offi- cers and members of the street crime unit, criminal in- vestigations branch and com- munity response unit. Sergeant Paul Malik said the high-enforcement initia- tive was aimed at reducing "vi- olent street crime in the Ajax- Pickering area caused mainly by unorganized street gangs." Police targeted "problem lo- cations where teenagers and young adults hang out" and focused on repeat offenders breaching court-ordered con- ditions, he said. Several street robberies were solved as a result of the project, he said. In total, 294 criminal charges including robbery, weapons offences and breach of bail or probation were laid against 88 people. Another 55 charges under the Provincial Offences Act were also laid. Police said the initiative will continue and are urging any- one with information about gang activity to call 19 Divi- sion CIB Detective Vince Damico at 905-579-1520, ext. 2524, or Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-8477. Police bust street gangs Hundreds sitting in isolation but no SARS confirmed in Durham BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Lives have been put on hold across the region as hun- dreds of people sit in isolation to prevent the spread of SARS even though, as of Friday, there was not one sure case, or even a "sus- pect" case, in Durham. "It feels like you're in prison. We had planned a four-day weekend and now we can't go, our Father's Day celebrations have been can- celled and Wednesday is my daughter's birthday party. It had to be cancelled," said one health- care worker who asked not to be named. "A lot of people have Grade 8 graduations too (for their children) and they can't go." There were 730 people in quar- antine Friday, following a week of precautions at local hospitals, nursing and retirement homes after outbreaks of an unknown respiratory illness. Just the chance it could be SARS -- se- vere acute respiratory syndrome -- was enough to put the Region on alert. Public-health unit em- ployees have been relocated from every department to answer the hundreds of incoming calls and to contact the hundreds of visi- tors, staff and patients of Lak- eridge Health Whitby, Fairview Lodge nursing home and Colo- nial Retirement Centre, where respiratory illness has forced those connected to the facilities into quarantine. Things were still looking good at Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital Friday. Heading into the weekend, the hospital was reporting no cases of severe acute respiratory syn- drome -- probable or suspected. Four patients are being investi- gated for the illness and four oth- ers are in respiratory isolation. However, Rouge Valley's Scar- borough site reported two proba- ble cases and no suspect cases. Three patients were under inves- tigation and 18 were in respirato- ry isolation. Friday, Colonial Retirement Centre was removed from the list and all people in quarantine as- sociated with the facility were told they could come out of quar- antine. But those whose exposure was at the other two institutions re- main in isolation while 58 poten- tial cases across Durham contin- ue to be investigated. There was only one case left under investi- gation in relation to Fairview Lodge, late Friday, according to Glendene Collins, spokesman for the health department. If that case is cleared and no other cases relating to the Fairview Lodge facility arise, those people will be allowed to discontinue the quarantine, she said. At Lak- eridge Health Whitby, nine cases were being investigated Friday while at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa, six cases were being inves- tigated. In the meantime, those in iso- lation continue to put their lives on hold. "You feel as if you're this leper causing everybody misery," relates the health-care worker, who is only allowed to travel to and from work under her quar- antine conditions. "You can jump in your car to go to work but you can't jump in your car and do anything else. You can't get gas, you can't go to a drive-through." Friday, the Eves government did commit funding for em- ployed (including self-employed) individuals who lose work time and pay due to SARS quaran- tine. A payment of $500 or more, up to a maximum of $6,000 under special application, will be made to eligible applicants. A SARS assessment clinic is open from 2 to 8 p.m. daily via the Lakeridge Health Oshawa emergency entrance off Park- wood Court. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 15, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P Ron Schwartz had tried everything to lose weight without success. A profes- sor of romance languages and film, Schwartz had been overweight since the six grade. “Over the years, I’ve done counting points, acupuncture, herbal supple- ments. The weight would always come back,” he says. Schwartz was resigned to live his life over- weight, until a visit to his doc- tor for a physi- cal changed his mind. “My doc- tor said my blood pressure was high, and that it was crucial for me to lose weight. Then, he men- tioned an article he had seen about losing weight with hypnosis at a centre called Positive Changes.” Schwartz was skeptical, but signed up for the program. What happened next was completely unexpected. “After my first ses- sion, it was as if I had lost my appetite. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t thinking about food or what my next meal would be,” Schwartz recalls. Soon Schwartz noticed other old habits disap- pearing. “Before Positive Changes, I always had seconds, even thirds. All of a sudden I was tak- ing a few bites of dessert and leaving the rest behind. It was amaz- ing.” Schwartz attributes the dramatic changes to hypnosis and its power to reach the deeper subcon- scious. “I knew about healthy eating habits before, but through hyp- nosis I became more receptive to changing my lifestyle and these healthi- er habits took hold.” Schwartz started dropping weight immedi- ately, which only encouraged him to immerse himself in the program. “ I realized it’s not only about food, it’s also rediscovering self- esteem and helping your- self become the person you want to be.” When Schwartz start- ed hypnosis at Positive Changes, he weighed more than 200 pounds. Six Months later, he tipped the scales at just 150 pounds, losing more than 50 pounds total. “In my wildest dreams, I only hoped to get to 175.” Schwartz gives most of the credit to Positive Changes. “They showed me that the key to weight loss lies within your own mind. It’s the key to overcoming any problem or habit from smoking to stress to pain.” Schwartz is just one of thousands of people who have dramati- cally and per- manently changed their lives through hypnosis. The leading hypnosis resource in the country, “People know all about healthier behaviors, but in an altered state like hyp- nosis, it’s easier to incor- porate new habits such as leaving food on the plate. We help our clients think and eat like a slim person.” Positive Changes has a history of helping clients over come obstacles and change their lives by quit- ting smoking, losing weight, relieving stress or tackling phobias.

"All of the parents said it's much better to err on the side of caution," she said. "Everybody's pulled to- gether and it's just this calm, rea- soned approach to something that could have been a real dilemma." Mr. Joel said while the number of quarantined students and staff is "substantially up" in recent days, most are people who have visited a patient at Lakeridge Health Whit- by or a resident at one of the retire- ment homes. He is not alarmed by the recent spike in potential expo- sures, noting the board is "in con- stant contact with the public health department," which he com- mended for doing "a great job. "I feel the situation is under con- trol." John Vesters, acting director of education at the Durham Catholic District School Board, did not know how many students and staff are in voluntary quarantine, noting the number is "a moving target. "This information becomes avail- able to us only when people share it." Mr. Vesters said the board would become aware of a SARS-related quarantine when a staff member or student is absent and informs a school he or she is in isolation. "We really are depending on the health department services to do the followup," he said. The public school board was "in- undated with calls" early last week, peaking on Wednesday, said Mr. Joel, when the phone rang "all day long" with SARS-related inquiries. ✦ Board from page 1 Board ‘feels the situation is under control’ Quarantine fatigue hits Ontario’s promotion his mission Despite SARS, Jim Flaherty keeps visitors coming You wouldn't blame Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty for feeling a little red-white-and-blue these days. And that's a good thing. That's because the minister of enterprise, opportunity and innovation has been spending a lot of time touring our two closest neighbours, the United Kingdom and the United States. Mr. Flaherty's trips abroad are a key part of his ministry. Next to the premier, the man who has been minister of every- thing over the past eight years in the Tory government, is our smiling, hand-shaking, back-slapping Ontario promoter on the world scene. His job is to sell the province and encourage investment and tourism for Canada's economic engine. As such, Mr. Flaherty has had his work cut out for him of late because of the SARS miseries with which the Greater To ronto Area has been afflicted. The recent second wave of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome did the minister no favours. There are hints the World Health Organization, which put a travel advisory on Toronto and then lifted it after heavy lobbying, may do the same again. But, undaunted, Mr. Flaherty has soldiered on in his mis- sion to draw tourists and business to Ontario. It seems fami- ly ties, tradition and Canada's good reputation are more pow- erful than a mysterious new disease. And Mr. Flaherty is offering encouragement to all he meets that Ontario is open for business and is a great place to visit. British citizens had to go through Mad Cow disease scares so fears over SARS aren't enough to keep them away. As the second largest trading partner with Canada after the United States, British business and tourists are a key factor in On- tario's economy. But the fact that the British are coming cannot be taken for granted, a fact of which Mr. Flaherty is well aware. An even bigger target for Ontario is of course the United States. Mr. Flaherty has been reminding Americans of how safe Ontario is. He's also keen to tell them while Canada offi- cially did not support the War in Iraq, the Government of On- tario did. "We were clear in our support. They (Americans) need to be reminded we're friends and have a long history to- gether." To that end, Mr. Flaherty plans to wave our flag in At- lanta on Canada Day and show Ontario's support on July 4, Independence Day in the United States. While he's just one man, Mr. Flaherty has been doing all he can to keep the channels open and show the world what On- tario has to offer. It's not an easy job, but he has the determi- nation to keep at it in spite of the odds. We all benefit from that effort. Mother upset by pot decision TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: I am outraged people are allowed to smoke pot in public parks and streets. I have young children I don't want influenced by these undisciplined indi- viduals who don't have a thought about wasting their own lives. It's one thing to allow people with incurable diseases to smoke pot but it is entirely something different to allow it to be shoved in someone's face who doesn't want it. I, for one, don't want it. Why can't there be some rule that if they can smoke they have their own spaces - like a smoking area? Oh yeah, that's right, we made all these new no- smoking bylaws but apparently that doesn't apply to dope! Could our society be any more back- ward?

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 15, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Referendum plan has detractors The Road Ahead is looking a little divided these days. The provincial Tories, as they out- lined in their election platform dubbed 'The Road Ahead', want to force municipalities to hold a refer- endum whenever they wish to raise taxes. Now, not only are municipalities across Ontario lining up to con- demn the idea, but inside the party itself, the list of those opposed seems to be growing. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario, along with about 50 cities and towns and two Progres- sive Conservative MPPs, Bill Mur- doch (Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound) and Al McDonald (Nipissing), have spoken publicly against the referen- dum proposal and its unworkabili- ty. And over the past two weeks, the party's second vice-president, Os- hawa Regional Councillor Cathy Clarke, has joined colleagues at both Regional and City council in voting for resolutions calling on the Conservatives to rethink the pro- posal. 'Benedict' Clarke simply doesn't believe the plan makes sense and says her party's leaders should take the time to consult with Ontario's cities and towns before moving ahead on this road. In fairness, as second VP of the party, she holds no responsibility for developing policy and is under no obligation to support everything the party does. She says her first responsibility is to the people who elected her. In looking out for their interests she says had to speak out against the plan. But, she also says it is not going to make or break her ties to the To- ries. Regardless, one has to think the cracks in the foundation of this road are really showing us it may not be properly paved. Sure, the plan is sexy and an easy sell to voters. Nobody wants to pay more taxes. If you ask people to vote for a tax increase the obvious answer will be 'No.' It's hard to explain to the public that sometimes they have to pay more taxes just to maintain ser- vices. Since 1995, when these same Conservatives began their so-called 'Common Sense Revolution', they have downloaded the responsibility for things like social services, social housing, long-term care, child-care and old-age homes to municipali- ties, without giving them any new way to pay for them. Now, as the cost of absolutely all of those things increases, the Tories expect municipalities to go to the taxpayers for permission just to keep up. While cash-strapped municipali- ties across the province beg for a new funding deal, the Tories decide to handcuff their ability to use the old one. It's absurd, and it seems this road ahead lacks the common sense they promised us the first time.

It is a non-evasive method offering COMFORT, SPEED AND ACCURACY!!!! ----Let’s face it, with life running at the speed it is, one less thing to worry about is greatly welcome!!!!!!. What is Laser Hair removal and how does it work? In simplest terms, Laser is a very powerful light, now safe for all skin types. When this light penetrates through the superficial layers of the skin, it targets the melanin rich hair root in the follicle, heating it up and thus subjects the target (being the hair) to damage or destruction. Keep in mind, that there are 3 stages of hair growth. With melanin being most abundant in Anagen stage (growth stage) Laser treatments will be most effective at this stage, therefore a series of treatments are necessary for efficacy. Anywhere between 4 to 8 treatments booked 4/5 weeks apart, this of course varies with each individual. I’m happy to say that it sure has cut my grooming time considerably and I look forward to a wonderful “hair free” summer.

Feel The Fr eedom You’ve heard it at least 1,000 times: “Drink your milk.” Sometimes, though, you drink milk and it just doesn’t feel right. Perhaps your stomach feels bloated or upset after a you’ve had a glass. It could be that you are lactose intolerant. You are not alone -- about 75 percent of the world’s adult population has some problem digesting lactose. WHAT IS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE? Normally, the small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase, wh ich is needed to covert milk sugar, or lactose, into a form the body can use. Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough lactase to break down the lactose. Sufferers experience symptoms like bloating, cramps, flatulence, diarrhea or gurgling sounds in the abdomen 30 minutes to 120 minutes after eating or drinking milk or milk products. Adult lactose intolerance is the most common form of the condition. Onset usually occurs during adolescence or at any time during one’s adulthood. Another form, acquired lactose intolerance, is often the result of an illness, like the flu, or as a side effect of a medication. The condition can last a few weeks or a lifetime. Lactose intolerance can occur in newborns and babies, but it is rare. In these cases, babies may be able to only drink a special lactose- free formula or breast milk, which is high in lactase. Sometimes, these individuals need to be on a lactose-free diet their whole lives. SO, HOW CAN I GET ENOUGH CALCIUM? While there is no cure for lactose intolerance, you can still incorporate enough calcium in your diet. Try eating small servings of dairy products throughout the day. Solid foods help slow the absorption of milk, so you might also try drinking milk with a snack or meal. Here’s another idea: much of the lactose in cheese is removed during processing. Aged, ripened or hard cheeses like Swiss, cheddar, Colby and Parmesan, may cause less of a problem for you. (If the amount of sugars listed on the nutrition label reads 0 grams, it has no lactose.) The active cultures in yogurt can help you digest lactose, making it easier to handle. You might even be able to stomach ice cream or frozen yogurt. Its’ lactose may be less harsh on your stomach because of its’ solidity and fat content. You may also want to incorporate foods rich in calcium into your diet, although, as a rule, foods outside the dairy group offer less calcium. Try calcium-fortified orange juice, turnip greens, kale, mustard greens, bok choy, soy beans, oranges, canned salmon with bones, tofu or broccoli.

Denturists study the clinical and technical aspects of removable dentures and general health for a period of three years, longer than any other health-care practitioner. The College of Denturists of Ontario acknowledges that Denturists are “Denture Specialists”. Anyone can consult a Denturist without a referral from another health-care professional. Denturists provide the most cost and time effective denture treatment. Most Denturists’ laboratory work is performed on the premises by the Denturist who sees you. This ensures the quality of care is consistent and personal. Your Denturist is able to provide you with the professional advice needed prior to choosing the denture that best suits your lifestyle. The importance of a thorough consultation and examination with your Denturist prior to any treatment cannot be emphasized enough. This appointment gives you the opportunity to express your concerns and desires for your new dentures. It also allows the Denturist the opportunity to assess the oral conditions present and address your needs and expectations. A Denturist can restore an existing broken or cracked denture to its original state. Repairs may be required when breakage or chipping occurs, when one or more teeth need to be added to an existing denture (due to tooth extraction), or because of wear and tear. Most repairs can easily be done in one day. If your denture requires a repair, it may be indicative of underlying problems, including age of the denture, wo rn teeth, or poor fit. Your Denturist is the professional who can best explain how to prevent denture breakage from occurring. If your dentures are more than five years old, make an appointment to talk with your Denturist. You can improve yo ur looks, self-conf idence and possibly your health with quality replacement dentures. Courtesy of: The Deegan Denture Clinic, Family operated for 25 years.

BByy KKrriisstteenn RReeiillllyy Whether they were in Florida or hanging out at home, the stu- dents at Holy Redeemer had a great March break. There were a wide variety of things to do over the March break, from having fun with your friends to staying at your grand- parent's house for the weekend. Lots of families used the March break to catch up on things and have some quality family time. Some students got off easy and didn't have to do any homework, but others had lots of homework to do over the break. Many students said that their ideal March break would be to travel. Some students said they want to go to Europe, Cuba and California. A couple of students said that winning a billion dol- lars would be ideal. For some students, the March break was just a time to relax and have fun. Now they're back at school working hard and waiting for summer that's just around the corner. Students score better marks BByy JJaassoonn JJoosseepphh The second term report card results at Holy Redeemer Catholic School were fantastic! Many of the students who were interviewed had improved great- ly from the previous term. Grade 8 student Brittany Paul says, "I improved from last term, and I think I did good." Most of the students also said that their parents were happy about their last report card. Marc Manning, in Grade 6, claims he did not improve last term and when asked if his par- ents were happy about the report card, he says, "Nope, I don't think they were too happy about it." Better luck next turn, Marc! About two-thirds of students interviewed had the same thing in common. They said their favourite subject was math. "I enjoy working with numbers," says Sylvia Oh, a crazy Grade 5 student. Other "favourite" subjects were physical education and art. "I love to draw," Jennifer Bulhoes, a Grade 4 student proudly states. Unfortunately, their mentioning of least favourite subject, and many students came up with one word, 'French'. It was observed that the sub- jects the students enjoyed the most were the ones they achieved better marks in the second term. Samantha Partridge, a smart Grade 7 student states, "I im- proved a lot, and I excelled in math." "I achieved excellent marks for physical education," says Andrew Frankski, a Grade 8 French Im- mersion student who surprising- ly enough, dislikes French. Overall, students raised their marks compared to last term. We have many great teachers and the students will continue to learn things every day. BByy KKrriisstteenn CCaarreeyy aanndd SSaammaanntthhaa PPaannttrriiddggee Holy Redeemer Catholic School was booming with excite- ment earlier this year because of the annual family literacy night. The meaning of literacy is learn- ing about English and being taught how to read and write. The reason our school had a family literacy night was because we wanted to get students in- volved in reading and writing etc. This way, the parents can be ex- posed to the literature studied by the students. On the day of family literacy, some students chose to wear PJs and bring their teddy bears. When lunch came, the students had the option to go to the gym to eat their lunch, listen to music or have a teddy bears' picnic or they could stay in their class- room. Our school is blessed with yet another privilege -- students had a chance to listen to some of au- thor John Green's best stories and talk to him and ask him some questions. It was coming to the end of the day. Literacy night and its activities were soon ap- proaching. Everyone was so ex- cited, they just couldn't wait! For family literacy night, the student council organized a raf- fle. The prizes included a $30 cer- tificate for Chapters, an art case, a plush unicorn with a book, and a teddy bear book. The lucky winners were chosen at 9 p.m. "It was very nerve-racking but I was glad to have a chance to read my speech," said Jesse Gra- ham, who had a very interesting and unique speech on urban leg- ends. "I think it really grabbed peo- ple's attention," explained Nikki Brown, a Grade 7 student who attended the speech contest a week earlier. "I am quite sur- prised that she didn't win." The oh-so-popular book fair was a huge success and raised al- most $2,000 for the classes. The theme for literacy night was 'snuggle up and read'. The hall- ways were filled with children's artwork. A storyteller came in and told some very wonderful stories while children cuddled up with their parents and held tight to their teddy bears. Literacy night was a huge success and we can't wait until next year. Report cards fantastic Grade 7 students in Elizabeth Torok-Orban’s and Nereo Bonomo’s classes at Holy Redeemer Catholic School worked hard to come up with newspaper stories and advertisement designs for the News Advertiser’s Publisher for a Day Contest. Holy Redeemer students put literacy in the spotlight There’s so much to do when you get a break P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 15, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Students made the calls PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– When Metroland’s Durham Region Media Group put out the chal- lenge for a group of local students who could take over as publisher for a day, Holy Redeemer Catholic School stepped forward and delivered. Two Grade 7 classes wrote stories, teamed with local businesses to design ads and generally worked together to help produce two pages in this edition of the News Advertiser. The result is some great stories offering astute opinions, along with wonderful- ly colourful advertisements. The classes earned a pizza party for their work. Enjoy the creative work!

These staff members are the people that make this school a better place. We had the privilege of interviewing two teachers in this school. One of the newest teach- ers at Holy Redeemer is Mrs. Orban. She teaches Grade 7 English and pre- viously taught at St. Isaac Jog ues. She taught there for nine years. After nine years at St. Isaac Jogues she thought it was time for a change; that's when she decided to come here. She loves to teach geogra- phy and language arts because of the vari- ety, and she always liked studying them while in school. She plans to stay at Holy Re- deemer for a few more years because of the friendly, welcom- ing staff, her great class and having a good grade partner to teach with. Mrs. Orban decided that she wanted to become a teacher in Grade 6. She was a monitor and always liked to help out at camps. Hopefully we will get the privilege to get to know this wonderful teacher better and that she will stay at our school at least a few more years. Another person that we interviewed was Mrs. Mar- cello. She has been at this school longer than any other staff member. She has been here since 1983. The reason that she has stayed at this school so long is because of the school community, the teachers, parents, stu- dents, etc. She wanted to become a teacher because she always wanted to work with children. Mrs. Mar- cello said the only thing that has changed is the clothing and not the en- thusiasm of the students. She has not been teach- ing Grade 8 the whole time, but loves teaching it. Her most memorable mo- ment was when a Grade 8 class dedicated a song to her, and when another Grade 8 class gave her a framed picture of them- selves on Mother's Day and said she was their sec- ond mother. It was great working with both of these teach- ers and we hope to learn more about them in the future. BByy NNiicckkii BBrroowwnn aanndd EEllaaiinnee MMaaiillllee Plastic, fabric, wood, presentation, and much more! These are just some of the modules you'll find when you come to Design and Technology (D&T) at Holy Redeemer Catholic School. This is one of the few things that make our school special. Mr. Dami- nato is the teacher who runs the D&T room. When you think about it, it's pretty amazing how he runs 15 modules at once. "If you don't have a rou- tine, it's hard, but after awhile you get used to it," he says. Mr. Daminato has been working at our school since 1994, so I'm pretty sure he is used to it and of course he gets help from other homeroom teachers and co-op students. When asked, one co-op student said, "it's fun because I get to interact with a lot of people and I learn a lot." Seventeen schools from Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge and approxi- mately 1900 students come to Design and Tech- nology. The students we interviewed said Design and Technology is really fun to do. Another student said, "Mr. Daminato is great at his job; he always makes sure that everyone understands. “I like it because you learn so many new things and it opens your mind to new job possibilities." Design and Technology is very hands-on and will teach you many things. So as you can see, Holy Redeemer is a great place to be and is loads of fun, as well as enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your time! BByy DDyyllaann RRoobbeerrttssoonn aanndd JJaaeehhoo OOhh About 55 per cent of the student body of Holy Re- deemer Catholic School is French immersion. Ever wonder what it is like? "The big challenge," says Bryn R. in Grade 8.I.F. The French Immersion program at Holy Re- deemer starts in Grade 4 and goes to Grade 8. Stu- dents (then) have the choice of going to the Eng- lish or French path of high school. Almost all of them go to All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whit- by. French is for people who really want a chal- lenge. In the French Im- mersion class, you get English about half an hour a day, the rest is all French. If you know both of Cana- da's official languages, you can get better jobs in in- dustries such as travel, fashion, education, re- search, government, social services, etc. French is spoken in Switzerland, Germany, Senegal, more than 40 African countries, Haiti, Marco, Belgium and France, of course. Most of the kids starting in the French Immersion program say their mom told them to. It's the same situation for about 84 per cent of kids already in the F.I. program. "I didn't like my mom deciding, but I made a lot of friends and it's already starting to pay off," says Christine Q, in Grade 7.I.F. If you ever thought of learning French, the op- portunity is available. French is the circle of lan- guage. This means that knowing this language makes it easier to learn other languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, etc. If your child is in Grade 3, you should dis- cuss this topic with him or her. It could open up a whole world of opportuni- ty. If you'd like more infor- mation on the French Im- mersion program at Holy Redeemer Catholic School, call 905-839-5409.

These events have forced the hospital system to re-think the way it delivers patient care in the future, balanc- ing stepped –up safety measures with access to quality care that patients have come to know and expect “We have had a stable way of delivering hospital services in a hospital setting”, says Hume Martin, Rouge Valley’s Pres- ident and CEO. “Hospitals have been relatively safe places for patients and visitors. Our goal now is to keep it that way with the new challenges we face and to ensure our community feels confident in our ability to protect them.” Government and hospitals have used an “on/off” switch for the health system as a response mechanism during the SARS outbreak. In the future we will need to figure out how to use a dimmer switch instead — so that necessary health care services don’t completely close down every time the sys- tem is challenged. The hospital system has always separated or “triaged” health care into emergency cases, urgent cases and those that can be done on an elective or non-urgent basis. In the “new normal” health care environment we will continue to make sure that emergency cases are our top priority for in-hospital care. And, as we move forward we may decide that some non-urgent types of services, such as outpatient visits, would be better done in a community or medical mall type setting. Our future planning at Rouge Valley will include: ■Continuing our heightened infection control practices in all locations, ■Cancellation protocols for our patients so they can better plan their lives, ■A greater variety of health delivery locations linked by technology so that patient records are readily accessible and their confidentially protected, ■A better way to ask people about their symptoms so that we can keep everyone as safe as possible in each setting ■A quick system to isolate someone as soon as they are having any contagious symptoms so that all around them are safe. During both SARS outbreaks Rouge Valley Health System has cautiously prided itself on its outstanding infection con- trol record. Nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, infection control practioners, housekeepers, indeed all staff, have worked extremely hard to keep our patients and their col- leagues safe. This has in turn kept the community at-large safe. Similar to an open fire in the forest, however, we can’t relax infection control procedures until every ember has been extinguished. “Our intention is to continue to be cautious along with our patients, our staff and physicians. As we move forward, the only other major challenge will be strong planning for the future which builds on the lessons we have learned” says Martin. At present, Rouge Valley Health System is out consulting the community on its new strategic plan. Sessions open to the public are listed to the left, or you can view Rouge Valley Health System’s draft plan on our web- site at www.excellentcare.com and you are encouraged to make comments.

Foundation President says goodbye after 10 years Emergency Department renovations help meet new challenges Preparation is key to avoiding West Nile virus Campaign Chair provides Vital Link between hospitals and the community Rouge Valley Health System COMMUNITY REPORT www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 15, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P ROUGE VALLEY HEALTH SYSTEM “SARS has changed everything.” That’s how Dr. Tom Stavro Sholdoff, Chief of Emergency Medicine at Rouge Valley, describes the impact of the SARS outbreak on planning for the new emergency department at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick- ering. “Medicine will be practiced differently from now on” says Dr. Stavro Sholdoff, “and that means re- thinking how we provide a safe environment for our patients and our staff. We’d already designed the new department, but now it’s back to the drawing board.” The new department had been designed to deal with over-crowding in the emergency room. The Ajax- Pickering department was built to handle 20,000 vis- its a year, yet was receiving more than 40,000. The major expansion included a larger waiting room, a fast-track area for less urgent cases, an X-ray facility and casting room to deal quickly with fractures, and a separate area for children. Now, the plans must also deal with the need to provide isolation for patients suspected of having infectious respiratory diseases. “Waiting rooms will have to change, the triage process will have to change, and the triage area will need immediate access to a separate corridor with negative-pressure isolation rooms,” says Dr. Stavro Sh- oldoff. It’s important, he says, that the new environment be both safe and comfortable for staff members. “It was busy and tough working in emergency depart- ment before, but now, with all the protective gear, it’s even tougher.” Although the emergency department at Rouge Val- ley Centenary is not in line for a major renovation, changes will have to be made there, too. The chal- lenge will be to work within the limitations of existing walls, duct work and traffic flow. Clearly, renovations to both sites must be made as soon as possible, so that patients and staff can begin to breathe easier. The Rouge Valley Health System Foundation is actively raising money to help pay for the renovations. Dr. Stavro Sholdoff says it’s fortunate Rouge Valley hadn’t started construction on the new emergency de- partment before the SARS outbreak. “Like everything else in life, timing is everything,” he says. “Now we have an opportunity to re-think the whole plan with this perspective in mind, and create a facility that will serve us for the next generation.” ■ Rouge Valley’s Emergency Departments meet new challenges Renovations at both sites will help prevent the spread of respiratory infections Gord Simmonds is the driving force behind Vital Links capital campaign, a campaign to raise $34 million to redevelop the Rouge Valley Health System facilities. Simmonds, chair of the campaign and president and C.E.O. of Pickering-based Lenbrook Group of Companies, said that hospitals have always been the centre of communities. “Many Lenbrook employees rely on Rouge Valley Health System as their primary care provider,” he said. “People in Scarborough, Pickering and Ajax need health services close to home. They can’t go downtown all the time, especially seniors.” Dramatic population growth in the eastern munici- palities of the Greater Toronto Area caused the need for quality medical services to outpace development in health care facilities. The Vital Links campaign was started 24 months ago to ensure these facilities become well equipped to handle the increased demand for care. “I spent 20 years building my business and raising a family. Then I thought I was at a point in my life where I had to take a chance to give back to the com- munity,” Simmonds said. “And I honestly have to say that I’ve been blown away by the number of people willing to put in time and effort into this.” So far, with Simmonds at the helm, 70 per cent of the funds have been raised. “If we look at it as a ship we all have to participate at some level to make it work. Some have to steer, some have to row—all of us have to have a hand in building our community.” The advent of SARS made it difficult for front-line health care workers to support Vital Links in their full capacity, as their skills and dedication were needed in- side the hospitals. “SARS just reinforced the urgency of giving them (doctors and nurses) the facilities they need to continue helping people,” he said. “We don’t know what’s coming next. We need to be prepared.” ■ Campaign Chair provides Vital Link between hospitals, community putting our energy to good use www.opg.com Ontario Power Generation salutes the HEALTH CARE WORKERS AT ROUGE VALLEY who have worked tirelessly during this difficult time to control SARS.

As she prepares to leave her position as President of the merged Rouge Valley Foundation, Pat and her staff and volunteers are celebrating more than $6 million raised in 2002-2003. Has she been busy? You bet! The Foundation’s success, says Vasseur, is due to strong support from the communities of Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. “Rouge Valley has a wonderful relationship with the communities we serve,” she says. “I am incredibly grateful for their commitment and support.” Vasseur arrived at Centenary Health Centre (now Rouge Valley Centenary) in 1993 as a consultant in human resource develop- ment. She stepped into the Foundation role in the midst of the $6 million Expect the Extraordinary Campaign, chaired by Tom Leon. “It was a thrill to work with him,” she recalls. “His passion and commit- ment for our hospital and community are exceptional.” As soon as that campaign was complete, she was asked to raise another $2 million to support the hospital’s new role as a regional paediatric centre. Eventually the Open Your Heart for the Children campaign became part of the $34 million Vital Links campaign, which recently reached the 70 per cent mark. Vasseur is proud of her record of building — building strong rela- tionships with communities and donors, building a unique partner- ship between the Foundation and the Health System, and establish- ing an effective merged Foundation following the merger of the Cen- tenary and Ajax-Pickering hospital sites. Says Vasseur: “For me the real joy has always been the relationships — with the board, donors, and staff. Through those relationships, I’ve come to understand the true nature of philanthropy. I’ve learned that people want to give, and I’ve been awed by their generosity of both time and money.” Vasseur is confident the Foundation’s success will continue after her departure. “I’m excited about the team we have built,” she says. “I know they have the ability to take the Foundation to greater heights, and that would be the greatest gift to me.” Meanwhile, she will be starting on new adventures of her own. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to explore the entrepreneur- ial spirit within me and see if it takes flight!” The way you do anything is how you do everything. There’s no doubt Pat will continue to soar! Pa t Vasseur, pictured here with the lucky winners of the grand prize Toyota 4Runner from this year's fundraising lottery.

I’m strong, too. I’ve been a paramedic for 28 years, and a police of- ficer before that. I figure I can look af- ter myself in just about any situation. Yet SARS made me weak as a baby. Brushing my teeth made me breath- less. I was so weak that I was depen- dent on the nurses and doctors at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering for everything. Thankfully, they were there for me—providing excellent care to get me back on my feet. I’m an ambulance supervisor. I came in contact with SARS on the job, before we knew what we were dealing with. For 12 days, I was fine. Then one night when I was working the night shift, I got the chills. I went home and slept most of the day. By evening, my temperature had spiked and I was aching all over. Our base physician arranged for an ambulance to pick me up and take me to Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering. I’ve been in and out of hospitals across Ontario for years, but I’ve never seen anything like I saw that night. Within minutes, I was whisked in the back door, admitted and taken up to the isolation ward. All the precautions were in place. No wonder the hospital was able to control the infection so well. And the care I got was simply su- perb. Very aggressive medical treat- ment for my disease, and probably just as important, lots of human warmth. Remember, this was a complete lock-down—I had no visitors, virtually no contact with the outside world. And I was worried about my wife, who suffers from fibromyalgia and was at home in quarantine. The staff on the ward went out of their way to make me feel good. One nurse even brought me a coffee every morning, because she knew I couldn’t stand the hospital coffee! Often, a nurse would come and sit by my bed in the evening and chat. I wouldn’t have blamed them if they just wanted to get out of that room—after all, I had a disease for which there is no treatment—a disease that was killing people. But despite the difficult circumstances, they did their jobs— and so much more. I’m not 100 per cent yet, but I’m getting there. Soon, I’ll be back in an ambulance, doing the job I love. Am I worried about catching something else? Not really. My time at Rouge Valley gave me confidence that there are skilled and caring professionals in our community, ready and willing to deal with SARS or whatever comes next. We don’t know what’s coming next—we need our hospitals to be there for us. Yours in health, Bruce England Former SARS patient commends RVHS staff Ambulance supervisor Bruce England has renewed respect for the hospital professionals at Rouge Valley Health System following his recent battle with SARS. A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, June 15, 2003 www.durhamregion.com ROUGE VALLEY HEALTH SYSTEM At a critical time at Rouge Valley Health System, an army of healthcare practioners from across all disci- plines assembled to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Natalie Bubela, program general manager for Medicine and Emergency Services shares her experiences, her concerns and her pride in the peo- ple that have stepped up and delivered large in the name of community protection. I know there may be some fatigue about any- thing related to SARS these days, but quite simply, for those of us who work in a hospi- tal or emergency response setting, our lives have been changed significantly. The way we look at life, our families, our careers, has also changed. You question whether or not you’ve brought something home, possibly exposing your kids or spouse. You worry about it constantly and feel sandwiched between personal risk and profession- al responsibility. In the face of adversity, true character emerges. I’ve been so impressed with how superb the staff has been. We all learned to communicate with our eyes and the relationships that were built are phenomenal. I never heard anyone say, “Oh that’s not in my job description”, or “No, I can’t do that I have to leave.” People recognized the severity of the situation and it drove them to work the long hours necessary. It has really brought out the best in people. Unfortunately people in the community may not fully understand our strict infection control procedures and how diligently we follow them. I went to my son’s baseball game and I could see other parents move away from me a little bit. They weren’t trying to be mean. I could sense they were just scared to be too close to me be- cause I worked in a hospital. This seems to be improving as people understand how minimal the risk is to them. The community should feel reassured that we’ve learned from this crisis and additional processes are being put into place in order to bet- ter deal with similar issues in the future. For those of us in the hospital, we are learning to live with the uncertainty associated with SARS and the associated protocols – the discomfort of face masks, shields, extra gowning is something we’re getting used to. We have to. Life goes on. ■ Behind the masks. Beyond the headlines. The best in people emerged. A view from within Natalie Bubela, program general manager for medicine, recalls how parents moved away from her at her son’s baseball game because of their fear of SARS.

Here are some tips from experts on how you can enjoy the spring and summer seasons while you avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. OUTDOOR ACTIVITY TIPS In addition to using federally regulat- ed insect repellent products, such as those that contain DEET, when you are active outside from dusk to dawn, you should also: ■Cover up! Wear long-sleeves, socks, closed shoes and a hat. ■Wear light-coloured clothing since mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours. ■Add bug hats and bug jackets to your list of outdoor gear if you are a seri- ous camper or hiker. Preparation is key to avoiding West Nile virus Continued on next page pickeringtowncentre.com In this, its 8th year, the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic could surpass the million dollar mark. That’s a lot of money, affecting a lot of people, donated to the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation. Once again, this year everyone can get involved. Look for the change boxes throughout the mall and please give to this worthy cause. Let’s make it a Million Dollar Year Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs says he feels like ‘a million dollars’. In its eighth year the Pickering Town Center’s Mayor’s Charity Classic golf tournament will exceed One Million Dollars raised for the Ajax/Pickering Health Center/RougeValley. Mayor Arthurs and then Mayor Jim Witty founded the Tournament in 1996, along with Tribute Homes, Howard Sokolowski. It is recognized as one of the finest tournaments in the GTA. Mayor Arthurs says, “the tournament committee insists on the best and delivers”. Mr. Arthurs was a member of the hospital foundation, its fundraising arm, when the tourna- ment started and continues as a member of the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation. “The needs of our local hospital system can only be met by the active involvement of community leaders”, says the Mayor, “and I am proud to be part of the team” Mr. Arthurs has been an important player in the current effort to raise ver $34 million dollars for the sys- tem, including $13.7 million for the Ajax site. He has committed count- less hours to the foundation and its committees in support of local hospi- tal care. “When the need is so great, you have to commit yourself if you want success”, he said. He is confi- dent that as the campaign continues it will reach its goal and our hospital system will begin to meet the real health needs of the community. This year’s Pickering Town Center’s Mayor’s Charity Classic will be held on September 11, the same day as the Mayor Arthurs birthday. “Exceeding One Million Dollars in the tournament I co-founded would be a great birthday present”, he said. Let’ make it happen, our hospital deserves it!!

A bug tarp is a light, portable screened shelter that provides good protection. INSECT REPELLENTS Studies have shown that products with lower concentrations of DEET are just as effective as the high concentration prod- ucts, but they remain effective for shorter periods of time: ■30 per cent DEET will provide about six hours of protection ■15 per cent DEET will provide about five hours of protection ■l0 per cent DEET will provide about three hours of protection ■five per cent DEET will provide about two hours of protection.

BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––They're in! Months of hard work have paid off for four Oshawa high school students, all of whom have been accepted to universities this fall. They no longer have to worry if their marks are high enough in this year of the double cohort: they've made it through the unprecedented crush that has resulted in more than 102,000 Ontario high school students applying for post-secondary edu- cation spots this year. Mike Leering, an OAC student at R.S. McL aughlin Vocational and Collegiate In- stitute, will study environmental engineer- ing at the University of Guelph. More than any of the four, perhaps, Mike was con- cerned he wouldn't get in. But, as it turns out, he got his first university choice, call- ing it "a big relief." "I'm really happy. Now it's just trying to finish up well on my finals and go to Algo- nquin (Park)." An Ontario Ranger, he will be a sub-fore- man in the park this summer. Mike says he has some money salted away, but will be counting on his summer job to cover a lot of his first-year expenses. "The money has always been kind of a secondary factor," he says. "Getting in was first. I'm just going to play that by ear." Lisa Genore works and says she's been saving up as much as she can, "save for the occasional shopping binge". Thanks to her family, the O'Neill Collegiate and Vocation- al Institute Grade 12 student also has a lot of financial help. "My parents had a GIC set up for me when I was born, " she explains. "That's been gathering interest for the last 17-and- a-half years" As well, her grandparents bought her savings bonds that will help pay for her first year at the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus. Lisa had hoped to get into a new program at the University of Ottawa, but instead will take human biolo- gy, with an eye to entering medical school in the future. "Academic-wise, U of T is not a bad sec- ond choice," Lisa says. "I still got in some- where." Lisa was in the midst of filling out the necessary paperwork to live in residence. While she has a car, Lisa says living on campus "would be a lot easier than doing the commute every day". Menaka and Krisanth Pulandiran are OAC and Grade 12 students and sister and brother, respectively, at G. L. Roberts Col- legiate and Vocational Institute -- but not for long. Both were accepted to university, several in fact, presenting a bit of a dilem- ma: it's an important choice, picking the right one. "I keep thinking I'm going to make a huge mistake," Menaka lamented. She was accepted to McMaster. The University of Western Ontario and the Uni- versity of Toronto's Woodsworth College, finally deciding upon the latter June 6. Menaka, who also might go to medical school, says what sold her on U of T is there are more opportunities for work ex- perience in Toronto, and the life sciences program is flexible and features more pro- gram choices than McMaster. She also wants a taste of the big city. "I want to go somewhere different," Menaka says. "I've lived in Oshawa my en- tire life. If I went to McMaster, it would be like the same kind of community." She visited the St. George campus, in the heart of downtown Toronto, and took a stroll around the neighbourhood. It was foreign territory for her: Menaka says she has spent little time in Toronto. "Other than shopping," she laughs. "I mean, just looking around was nice, just going into a coffee shop and sitting there." "When I went downtown that day, I did- n't have a good idea what was going to happen. But I liked it." As for finances, Menaka and Krisanth say their folks will cover about half of their university costs. They'll also be counting on money from the Ontario Student Assis- tance Program (OSAP). Menaka esti- mates first year, including the cost of stay- ing in residence, at about $10,000. Krisanth was accepted to York and Ry- erson universities, and to the U of T at Mississauga. He also applied to the St. George campus and, while he didn't get in, Krisanth, admitting it was "a long shot", re- cently sent an e-mail to see if the universi- ty would reconsider. "If worst comes to worst, and I don't get in there, I'll go to Ryerson," he says. He has been accepted to that universi- ty's aerospace engineering program. Ei- ther way he'll live in residence, and won't be too far from his big sister. Krisanth plans to find a job, and when he's not there or doing schoolwork, become a better key- board player. "I'm going to make the most out of it," he says of living downtown. "I'm going to have the most fun I can." Lisa says her first taste of real freedom won't change her. "I'm not a party girl," she says, adding, "I'm not going to shut myself in my room all the time" either. Lisa says she'll try to strike a good bal- ance, but "homework always has to come first." Mike also hopes to achieve balance be- tween good times and hard work. "I like socializing and going out with friends," he says. When it comes to his studies, however, Mike says he will be "committed and fo- cused." Menaka says another benefit of U of T is she can take the subway and GO train home on the weekends if she gets home- sick -- and she expects to. "I think I will," she says. "I think everybody does, no mat- ter how much they say they won't." Living on her own, she realizes, means "getting into the habit of doing everything yourself": laundry, shopping, cooking, the works. Menaka says her mom carries quite a bit of the workload at home, and it'll be an adjustment. "Especially for my brother... not me! I'm really not that bad!" she says. ✦✦✦ We'll next catch up with the students, and wrap up the feature series, at the end of this calendar year. Has university lived up to their expectations? How are they doing marks-wise? We'll find out how the first few months have gone. D ouble ohortC Pay dirt! Hard work pays off for students as university offers arrive and decisions are made Af ter weeks of checking the mailbox hoping for acceptance offers from universities, Menaka Pu- landiran was delighted to be accepted to the University of Toronto’s Woodsworth College. Her brother Krisanth, is still deciding between U of T and Ryerson University. A.J.

The following chart shows the number of students each university has told the Province it can accept: University of Toronto 10,000 York University 8,180 University of Western Ontario 5,760 University of Guelph 4,770 University of Waterloo 4,750 University of Ottawa 4,500 McMaster University 4,330 Carleton University 4,110 Brock University 3,540 Ryerson University 3,350 University of Windsor 3,330 Wilfrid Laurier University 3,020 Queen's University 2,750 Lakehead University 1,940 Tr ent University 1,720 Laurentian University 1,700 Nipissing University 1,070 Ontario College of Art and Design 670 UUnniivveerrssiittyy ooff OOnnttaarriioo IInnssttiittuuttee ooff TTeecchhnnoollooggyy 510 Pickering man helped police make arrest in robbery BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– It was like a scene from a movie. A couple is walking into a convenience store when a man flies out the door past them. The clerk yells out he's been robbed and in- stinct kicks in. The inno- cent bystanders, without taking time to reason it out, are in pursuit of the bandit and a chase ensues through the city streets. But this wasn't a Holly- wood north production, it was Oshawa and the action was real for Jon Scharf and Jennifer Dodd, just two of 13 r ecipients of the annual Durham Regional Police Service civilian awards. "I thought I'd follow him to get a description for the police," relates Mr. Scharf, almost a year after the May 23 incident at the Marland Variety Store. According to police, the suspect was brandishing a 13-inch knife, which was later seized along with the stolen cash. But Mr. Scharf didn't really have time to contemplate a weapon as he ran through the city's streets, around the build- ing, closing in on the sus- pect. "I just kept following him. He wasn't a very fast run- ner. About two blocks away from the store I tackled him. I held him on the ground until my girlfriend caught up and she ran to one of the apartments and called police," he relates. Mr. Scharf held the man, who fortunately had dropped the knife during the pursuit, until police ar- rived a few minutes later and the arrest was made. "Even to this day I still can't explain my actions," says Mr. Scharf. Civilians were chosen from every community po- lice office in Durham to re- ceive the annual award at a ceremony at Durham Re- gional Headquarters re- cently. Other award recipients included: • Christian Peterson was in a Dixie Road Coffee Time in Pickering last Christmas Eve when two men entered the shop and demanded cellphones and wallets from the customers and also emptied the cash reg- ister. After they fled the store, Mr. Peterson fol- lowed them, obtaining a description of the getaway vehicle and the licence- plate number. Mr. Peterson flagged down a police car and relayed the informa- tion. Toronto Police inter- cepted the vehicle and one man was taken into cus- tody. • Frank Pelligra of Port Perry was operating his snowmobile on the east side of Lake Scugog when he noticed another snow- mobiler and a passenger, a young girl, in distress. After rescuing the 10-year-old girl, Mr. Pelligra threw the driver a rope and pulled him from the water. "The operator of the snowmobile and his granddaughter would have no doubt per- ished in the icy water if it was not for the quick think- ing of Mr. Pelligra," said Constable Phil Graham. • Robert Robbins and Jim Washbrook were recog- nized for their efforts in bringing a convicted crimi- nal to justice after the man was observed by the pair driving erratically on Hwy. 401 near Whites Road in Pickering and subsequent- ly fleeing the car on foot after he crashed it into a guide rail. The two worked together to apprehend the driver and held him until police arrived. • Nevina Crisante, Sandra Cummins, John Mussel- man, Filomena Rehob and Jeff Wood were all recog- nized for their efforts in helping to capture an ac- cused murderer who es- caped from a Whitby court- house in September 2002. Between them, the group managed to alert police as the suspect fled from the Mrs. Rehob's deck, where she had discovered him, to the location behind a shrub where he was ultimately captured by police. • Pauline Broome stopped a vicious assault taking place at Mary Street and Taunton Road in Oshawa on Sept. 20, 2002. After she saw the victim being punched and kicked she stopped her car and inter- vened in the assault. She provided first aid to the victim, who she drove to her home and called police. Using the information she provided, police arrested two suspects later that night. • Two 16-year-old girls, whose families requested their names not be re- leased, were recognized for quick thinking after they reported a man who ex- posed himself to them from a car in Clarington. Their excellent, detailed descrip- tion of the man and his car assisted police to appre- hend the man who later pleaded guilty in court. A follow-up investigation showed the suspect was a "person of interest to police whose whereabouts were unknown to police until that moment," said Inspec- tor Tom Cameron. • Sherryl Barrett was dri- ving in downtown Bow- manville April 23, when she observed a developmental- ly challenged woman enter- ing a vehicle driven by a man. Suspicious, she fol- lowed the car and obtained the licence-plate number. She subsequently lost the car in traffic and aban- doned the pursuit. Howev- er, after hearing in the news the next day that a sexual assault had oc- curred, she called police who used her information and description to make an arrest. • Joseph Glover, the owner of the Lake Vista Plaza IGA, saved the day for the police Christmas food drive when Knob Hill Farms closed its doors three years ago. The drive was left without the sponsor of a program that sees about eight families receive gifts and food for a celebration they wouldn't otherwise have. Mr. Glover approached other IGA owners and arranged for the supply of food needed to feed those families that Christmas. Since then, Mr. Glover has been a dedicated volunteer and contributed financially to aid less fortunate fami- lies over the holiday sea- son.

Coach in ‘shock’ by wrestler’s test BByy BBrriiaann MMccNNaaiirr Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ––––- It's difficult to gauge the impact Dante Berlingeri's positive drug test will have on the Team Impact wrestling club, but coach Stan Tzogas believes the club's proud tradition will make it minimal. Berlingeri, who hails from Thorn- hill and trains with Team Impact out of Ajax and Toronto, tested positive for the banned steroid stanozolol, the same substance that cost Ben John- son an Olympic gold medal in 1988 and led to the ban of Oshawa sprinter Venolyn Clarke in 2001 from the na- tional track and field championships. The test was taken at the national championships last month in Saska- toon, where Berlingeri won the 96-kilo- gram division. "It's a surprise and a shock to everybody," says Tzogas. "We don't know enough about it right now to make much of a comment." Tz ogas says he has spoken briefly to Berlingeri, who has secured a lawyer and requested the opening of the B sample, the other half of the urine sample he submitted in Saska- toon. Greg Mathieu of the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association says results of the B sample will be ready Friday at the latest. Berlingeri, who was a candidate to represent Canada at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, could face a four- year ban from competition and a life- time ban from federal sport funding if not exonerated. Team Impact, celebrating its 30th year of operation, has helped produce a number of elite wrestlers in Durham. Sports Briefs JUNE 15, 2003One more hurdle to go City athlete fastest in NCAA semifinal PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----All signs point to a repeat performance by a Pickering hurdler at the U.S. national colle- giate showcase for track and field in Sacramento this weekend. City resident Perdita Felicien entered Saturday's 100-metre hur- dles final as the prohibitive favourite to capture her second consecutive title in the event at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The result wasn't available at press deadline. The senior at the University of Illinois posted the fastest time in Thursday's semifinals in order to reach the final, running to an out- standing time of 12.68 seconds to win the event. The time tied the Big Ten Conference record and is the fifth fastest posted in the world this year. In addition, it was a new NCAA meet record, break- ing the previous mark of 12.70 set in 1989 by Louisiana State Univer- sity's Tananjalyn Stanley. The time also represents a new U. of Illinois record, breaking her own mark of 12.73. It was also just shy of the NCAA record of 12.61 set by Gail Devers in 1988. To say the least, Felicien was elated with her semifinal perfor- mance. "I was just so excited after the race that I got a fast time and that it was wind-legal," noted Felicien in a story that appeared on the school's athletic Web site. "I'm not surprised by the time because it's a time that I run a lot in practice. It was just a matter of me running it in a race and having it count. It was also big for me for this sum- mer. I am going to compete in some races in Europe and having this time is going to get me in the faster races and get me a good lane. The day just turned out nice- ly." The Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate, on Wednesday, turned in the fastest time in her heat, running in a time of 12.89 to assure herself a spot in Thursday's semifinals. A victory in Saturday's final would make Felicien only the sec- ond athlete in the school's history to record back-to-back outdoor ti- tles, joining Tonya Williams who won the 400m hurdles crowns in 1995 and 1996. It would also give her a third career national title and make her the most decorated Illinois athlete in the school's his- tory. PPEERRDDIITTAA FFEELLIICCIIEENN Fast times at NCAAs. Stedmond, Rodrigues named to provincial under-15 squad PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----An arduous tryout process has drawn to a success- ful conclusion for two Pickering Soccer Club players. After six months of tryouts and numerous cutdowns, city residents Luke Stedmond and William Rodrigues have been se- lected to play for the Ontario under-15 soccer team. The team- mates on the Pickering under-15 boys' Ontario Youth Soccer League (OYSL) Futbol team were named to the 24-member elite squad with an official an- nouncement last month. Stedmond, a centre forward, and Rodrigues, a defensive spe- cialist, attended every training session, which included long, early-morning weekend drives to their training destinations. They had to perform at a high level not knowing if they would be in the next cut from the tryouts that initially began in November 2002. Top players from across Ontario were brought in for these tryouts, with the average amount of players reviewed ap- proximately 300. It's the second year on the provincial squad for both play- ers. In their first season, they travelled to Peru. The experi- ence, they noted, was invaluable and helped them gain a whole new perspective on the game. They've also represented On- tario in many exhibition games at home against Mexico as well as at a prestigious tournament in Quebec. Junior Groves, the coach the Pickering boys' under-15 rep team, praised the work ethic of the duo, noting it takes a high amount of devotion to play at the elite level with their club team and the provincial squad. "Their dedication and commit- ment to the rigorous and de- manding Pickering team train- ing sessions and their provincial team selection is a testament to the hard work and the long hours they put in," said Groves. "These boys know their team- mates' abilities and they under- stand that each member of the squad has the necessary skills to play at the provincial level and understand how fortunate they are to be selected, so they will continue to work hard to move to the next level." Team Ontario under-15 boys get their first taste of high-level competition by representing the province at the national champi- onships in Saskatoon in July. There, the Ontarians will face other provincial squads vying for the Canadian soccer crown. Both players note their long- term goals are to obtain a schol- arship to play soccer at the colle- giate level in the U.S. Following that, they hope to one day repre- sent Canada in the World Cup.

Above, inside you'll find his display of Top Quality Vinyl Windows. Wayne Hutchison brings to the replacement window and door busi- ness a new and long overdue fea- ture. It's a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. "The day is gone when you car- ried some brochures and a sample window to a customer's home," explains Wayne. "So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window sam- ples." When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free esti- mate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you'll enter by way of a slid- ing patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the SecurPlus series of vinyl windows which you're free to oper- ate and you'll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going out- side. "After being in this business for 25 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market," says Wayne. "They're triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware." All SecurPlus vinyl windows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame and hardware. Wayne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every cus- tomer gets a high quality job done at the best possi- ble price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579-2222 or 1-888-576-8575. MOBILE SHOWROOM PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- Watch out for falling records. Pickering Swim Club athletes smashed a number of existing club records at two recent swim meets, including 11 at the recent Speedo AGI meet in Etobicoke and four at the North York Aquatic Club's Mayor's Cup event earlier this month. Erin Gordon led the way at the Speedo AGI competition, breaking four club records, in- cluding three of her own marks. In the girls' 15-16 50m free, she swam the event in 29.34 seconds, just breaking Karen Gerroir's previous record of 29.40 set in 1996. Gordon broke her club mark in the girls' 15-16 100m free, post- ing a time of 1:04.10, breaking her previous record of 1:04.36. In the 200m free, she swam a time of 1:04.10, breaking her own mark set earlier this season of 1:04.36. Her club mark of 4:45.22 also fell in the girls' 400m free as she swam to a time of 4:45.03 at the Speedo AGI meet. Adam Gomba took up the challenge to shatter three club marks. Swimming in the boys' 11-1 2 age group, he set a new mark of 19:33.25 in the 1500m free, eclipsing the previous record of 19.33.54 set by Colin Russell in 1996. Gomba also posted a new club record in the 400m individual medley of 5:45.33. Alex Griffith set the old record of 5:46.94 in 2001. Gomba also beat his own record in the 200m free, swimming in 2:15.48, which better the old mark of 2:19.04. Jessica Ward shattered a 17- year-old club mark of 2:48.25 in the girls' 13-14 200m breaststroke set in 1986 by two-time Olympian Lisa Flood. Ward swam the event at Etobicoke in 2:44.40. As well, Ward swam to a new club mark in the girls' 13-14 200m backstroke. Her time of 2:46.04 at the Speedo AGI meet broke Patricia Pearsall's record of 2:46.16 set in 1996. Wa rd also broke the club record in the 400m I.M. in a time of 5:30.48, breaking the mark set a year ago by Renata Jaciw-Zu- rakowsky of 5:39.40. Alex Griffith broke the 19- year-old club mark in the boys' 13 -14 free, swimming the event in 4:47.33. The time shaded the record set by Danny Chrisian of 4:47.45 set back in 1984. Meanwhile, at the Mayor's Cup meet in North York, Sydney Vanderslius and Meghan Kim- ball set new club standards. Kimball established the club marks in the girls' eight-and- under 50m butterfly (1:09.71) and in the 200m I.M. (4:46.66). This is the first year club records are being kept in these events. Meanwhile, Vanderslius set records in the girls' eight-and- under 100m free and in the 50m breast. She swam the latter in 1:03.34, beating Alysha Lynden's previous record of 1:05.18 set in 2000, and the former in 1:49.41, bettering Lynden's previous mark of 1:59.78 also established in 2000.
