Pickering helps small firms navigate the Net PICKERING — A new Web site geared toward entrepreneurs is helping small business owners find the information they need to be suc- cessful. Developed by the Pickering Pub- lic Library business services depart- ment and the City of Pickering's corporate promotions and economic development office, the site is de- signed as an information tool for in- dividuals who are starting or ex- panding a business. "Using the Internet, individuals can develop a business plan, investi- gate the feasibility of their new ven- ture, discover sales and marketing techniques, network with other businesses and determine financing options," says a library news re- lease. But, finding that information is not always easy. So, library and City staffjoined forces to create one site that provides important infor- mation for local entrepreneurs. The site, which can be found through the library's URL at www.picnet.org or through the City's site at www.city.pickering.on.ca, also pro- vides links to the library's business resources, local demographic statis- tics, the City's home-based business licence application form and infor- mation booklet, local networking groups, government assistance cen- tres and an a -mail link for addition- al help.

Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty voted against the Durham Catholic District School Board's Community Use ol' Schcwls policy when it came before colleagues for final reading March 27. "The Ministry (of Educa- tion) is pushing For more use of schools in the community, so I thought, 'why are we (charging for use of facilities after boars)?"' says Trustee McCafferty. And, he also wants to see more details in the board's Community Use of Schools plolicy. The board for the first time is charging fees to cover added heating and custodial costs associated with school use outside of normal hours, says business superintendent David Visser. "Our goal here is actually not to make money;' says Mr. Visser. "Our goal is to recov- er some of the Costs to the point where we will be Vo breaking even:' He reports a $15 applica- tion Icc is now charged and the cost For using a school ranges from $5 for a single occasion to $12.5 per year I or groups which are in the schools regularly. The fees were determined atter re- viewing the policies in place at many other school hoards. "What we're doing here is not in excess of what they're doing;" says Mr. Visser. "We consider it very reasonable:' Not all groups using schools will be charged and fees vary depending on who's utilizing the facilities. For example, events put on by schools, such as a play in the evening, and school com- munity council meetings or functions remain cost-free. Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, which often use schools, will be charged the application fee but not a usage fec. Trustee McCafferty says even $15 is tow much for Scout and Guide groups.

Executive director Dennis Goulin will be replaced by current fund-raising director Edna Klazek. Mr. Goulin feels now is a good time to hang it up after the United Way's "most suc- cessful fund-raising cam- paign ever' and the launch of several initiatives he's been involved in such as the estab- lishment of a volunteer re- source centre. After five -and -a -half years as executive director, he is looking forward to spending more time with his family and wants to "enjoy some sailing". Before becoming the United W'ay's executive di- rcetor, Mr. Goulin was a vol- unteer on the board of direc- tors for eight years. He has been associated with the United Way as a donor for 35 years.

Mr. Goulin thinks Ms. Klazek will be a fine succes- sor. 1.1 believe she is uniquely suited for this new role and will provide the kind of lead- ership and management needed to keep United Way of Ajax -Pickering dynamic and progressive."

As in plenty of treats on the dinner table, chocolate eggs hidden throughout the house and smiles all around as abundance reigns. But for some, Easter, like other holiday times, is a cruel reminder of what they don't have. Not enough food, not enough to provide the chil- dren with a chocolate bunny, not enough to celebrate the season. That's why this is a very important time of year. It's the time when local volunteers work extra hard to make sure all have a great Easter. But they can't do it alone. They need your help. The Optimist Club of Oshawa, in conjunction with this newspaper and fire departments across Durham Re- gion, is running this year's food drive, which takes place from April 14-24 across the region. In addition to sore- ly needed non-perishable food items, volunteers to help sort and distribute food are required. If you can help out, call the Salva- tion Army at 427-7123. All donated food will be distributed by the Salva- tion Army food bank and will remain in Durham. So, you'll be helping peo- ple who live nearby. University a class act Durham's ready and willing to go forward Enclosed in today's paper you'll find a special section devoted to what we feel is a tremendous project: bringing a full-fledged university to Durham. Through the determination and hard work of dedicated long-time Durham College executives, the prospect of having a university locat- ed at the Oshawa campus now ap- pears viable. Our hope is that an an- nouncement to that effect from Queen's Park will be made before the end of this calendar year. Such an exciting new venture for Durham would be historic in the re- gion's development. It would place Durham firmly on the cutting edge in post -secondary education, would allow our young people a chance to study close to home and would also, for the first time, provide a combined college/university degree. What a fantastic concept. The support for this venture is vast and nearly unanimous in Durham. We salute the work which has been done to this point and are confident a Durham University will be a reality in the near future.

As well as losing foodland THE EDITOR Dhaliwal is about to decide whether a federal environmental assessment is necessary before ex- tension of the 407 to Pickering and beyond can begin. Unfortunately, the Province has exempted con- struction of Hwy. 407 from envi- ronmental laws that would protect the watercourses. Furthermore, monitoring of water quality has not been defined. We know that any en- vironmental protections that are not spelled out before approvals are granted will not be undertaken. With the highway will come de- velopment.

Canadian stand-up funny man Wayne Flem- ming will headline a show in the first week of June with friends Kenny Robin- son and Ronnie Edwards. The same trio used to tour comedy circuits 15 years ago, but with Jim Carrey on the card as well. Carrey was instrumental in the success of the March 15 benefit show at Yuk Yuk's East although he wasn't even at the Ajax club. A long-time friend of Flemming, Carrey donated autographed posters from his upcoming movie 'How the Grinch Stole Christ- mas'. MAGWYERS PUB One was auctioned off at the Ajax show for $1,3(X) while others which went to the highest bidder at venues in Toronto and Hamilton fetched more than $650 each. Yuk Yuk's East owner Steve Mignardi bought all three. And, Carrey has agreed to match all proceeds from the three performances, which totalled $50,000. The evening of comedy in Ajax was emceed by Robinson and featured Paul Smith, Martina Gail, Evan Carter, Steve Patter- son, Derek Edwards and Lou Eisen. "Ajax was the most suc- cessful show that they ran as far as attendance -wise and support -wise;" reports Mignardi.

Ken Thibeau of the Durham Labour Council and Ontario Workers Health and Safety Cen- tre, warned the young people who will soon he holding down sum- mer jobs if not working full-time how they could be the next gener- ation of 'canaries.' Associated with hazardous conditions in the workplace, miners used to carry the caged birds into coal mines as indicators of toxic gases. "When the canary fell over dead in its cage, the miners left the mine:' explained Mr. Thibeau. "This issue is extremely im- portant;' said Mayor Nancy Dia- mond. "I look at municipal gov- ernment as being an extended family. Each of us is responsible for someone else and each of us has the potential to look our for one another in the workplace" The mavor told the students how her particular workplace the City of Oshawa — is respon- sible for clean water, sewage treatment and garbage pickup which affect the social. economi- cal and environmental aspects of people's lives.

Her opinion was echoed by several other parents at the Catholic elementary school who warned board officials they're willing to send their children to a public high school so the young- sters don't have to cross municipal borders. The boundaries drawn up for the new Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, which will open in north Ajax in September 2001, would see students graduat- ing from Holy Redeemer and two other Pickering Catholic elemen- tary schools bused to the new fa - time it will take to bus students to the new school, the possibility their children will lose a sense of community and the presence of both a separate and public school in the same facility near Harwood Avenue and Rossland Road. Notre Dame will be attached to a public school with a common centre court and cafeteria, as well as a shared theatre.

Suicides inquest recommends taking away right to strike BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer An inquest jury probing the 1996 suicide deaths of three schiz- ophrenic patients of the Whitbv Mental Health Centre has recom- mended psychiatric hospital em- ployees he declared essential workers without the right to strike. 'Che recommendation was among 12 made by the coroner's jury Wednesday following a one- week inquest into the forensic pa- tients' deaths, all which occurred in the wake of a six-week strike by unionized hospital workers. The jury also made recommen- dations aimed at suicide preven- tion at mental health facilities, in- cluding a suggestion the Town of Whitby, Region of Durham and Ministry of Transportation study "any possible measure directed to the deterrence or prevention of sui- cides or other incidents on the (highway) overpasses within the region" Gregory Timmins, 20, Icft the centre May 14, 1996 and jumped from the Brock Street overpass to his death. Denise Charles, 24, a mother of three, walked away from the hospi- tal and jumped off the same bridge June 26. The third death occurred Au- gust 6 when Wilhcminc Dietl, 49. leapt in front of a subway in Toron- to. Each was a forensic patient at the hospital, having been found not criminally responsible (NCR) for an offence and placed under a Lieutenant Governor's warrant. All had forms of schizophrenia and various levels of privileges to roam the hospital grounds or the town. The jury was told suicide is the most common cause of premature death of people suffering from schizophrenia. Despite the high rate, predicting a patient's risk of committing suicide is difficult, a psychiatrist testified. In its verdict, the jury noted some health care workers at public hospitals in Ontario are considered essential and cannot strike, but there are no similar bans on work stoppages for psychiatric hospital workers, who can strike. The jury recommended consid- eration be given to declaring men- tal health centre workers essential, "thereby reducing the vulnerability of the centres due to strike action, which is proven to be detrimental to patients" Joan Gates, a nurse at the Whit- by centre and president of OPSEU Local 331, agreed the 1996 strike created a stressful environment for patients at the facility. However, "philosophically, I have a problem" with denying mental health workers the right to strike, she said. The inquest was told the Whit- by centre has stepped up monitor- ing of patients with ground or town privileges since the deaths. Now, patients must undergo a much more extensive mental health as- sessment prior to using a pass. Thefts prompt warning for local shoppers Police fear thieves work together to lift purses, wallets Durham Regional Police say a rash of purse thefts at supermarkets and grocery stores in Ajax and Pickering in recent months may be linked to the same gang of thieves. Police arc warning shoppers to keep a close eye on their purses and wallets in the wake of four more incidents rc- po>rted this past week at local retail outlets. Sergeant Jim Grimley, police de- partment spokesman, said in most of the cases the victims have been lone women who left their purses in their shopping cart. The victim is usually approached by an unknown woman who strikes up conversation "about items available for sale on the store shelves;' said Sgt. Grimley. "When the victim turns her atten- Uon to the shelf one or more of accom- plices will steal the purse or remove the wallet from the open purse;" the of- ficer said. The shopper usually doesn't realize they've been conned until attempting to pay at the cash register. "By this time the thieves are long gone, and in some instances have al- ready used the victim's credit card prior to them being reported stolen;" Sgt. Grimley said. He urges women to be cautious when talking to strangers in stores and to keep their purses secured, fastened in shopping cart child security straps or even concealed below the groceries. Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call police at 683- 9100, cxt. 2511, or Crime Stoppers at 436 -TIPS. / *DURHAM'S FINEST AUTOMOTIVE DfETAIUNG FOR OVER A DECADE h . 0e Pay Up To do$300°°DeductibleLifetime 777 Warranty • 1010 Brock Road South 3 (Northwest corner at Bayly) AUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY ®i �oRK831-4290 SCAR ALARMS • REMOTE STARTERS $199 • SCOTCHGUARO • WAX • COMPOUND • POLISH • CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 9, 2000 PAGE 9 A/P Krane Corporation and Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited have announced the voluntary public recall of SUPERCYCLE bicycle model 1800S.

I admit, with tongue in cheek, I'd like to talk about sex, that is, what I've learned about sex after years of medical practice. What men get the prize for being the world's worst lovers? Or the prize for being the most persistent. But what makes me such an authority on amour'? A simple answer. My patients have confided in me for years. Besides, I have white hair and so they assume I'm harmless. And they know 1'd rather go to jail than men- tion names. So they tell me everything about their sexual woes. This means I have long-haired, horn - rimmed, researchers beaten by a mile. I have access to outstanding research material right on my doorstep. I've often wondered whether French or Italian men rate as the best lovers. I still don't know the answer. But Italian and French fe- male patients seem to have the most smiles on their faces. Nevertheless it seems women are too em- barrassed to talk about good sex. I guess they believe in the old Vermont adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" But if I'm unsure who arc the best lovers I've learned one fact. There's no doubt who's most persistent. They're ones who refuse to take no for an answer. I admit 1 don't have a study of I00X) cases wtil� MUSFM �51F11,SAT1-irS�ll•� IR�A1f!-14fafi,�11� M1 (410 MIM The Doctor Game W. Gifford-Jonev M.D. to report. But I hear one tale often enough to convince me that male lawyers have a hard time keeping their hands off women. Many of my patients are legal secretaries. One after another has complained of being re- peatedly propositioned by lawyers in their of- fico. They've been asked to work late in the office and then receive the big pitch. And then claim the wives of lawyers have no idea what's going on. I maybe a bit naive. But one would think lawyers would know better than to fool around in the office. They must know the legal ramifications. Just tallying up the costs if they're caught should be enough to quickly lower their testosterone levels. So who gets the Big Prize as the world's worst Romcon? This conclusion is as easy as rolling off a log. I also have several female patients married to chartered accountants. They repeatedly cry on my shoulder. And they don't pull any i 11MIASM1il1i punches when talking about sex. Women married to these super box)kkeep- ers invariably recite the same old, monotonous story. I could fall asleep at my desk and still know what they're about to confess I've heard it so often. In my books, C.A.'s get the covet- ed prize for being the most inept, humdrum lovers imaginable. (Incidentally engineers come second). But it's not all bad news. Their wives in- variably add, "He's a really nice guy. A good husband and father. We've been married for 30 years and we have a happy life. I wouldn't want to change it. But he's still a sexual bore, more interested in figures than sex. He goes to bed at 9 with an armful of tax returns. Is there anything I can do?" I wish 1 had a cure for chartered accoun- tants. I've suggested low lights, a bottle of the best French wine, shooting the dog if he harks during love -making. Or moonlight nights on a Caribbean cruise. Even black lingerie. Rarely does any of this work. C.A.'s have given me tension headaches trying to find a remedy. They've proven the adage -you can't change the spots on a leopard" In the end all I can do is give chartered ac- countants' wives my sympathy. Maybe they'll have more luck in the next life. In the meantime there's one compensating factor. Women married to C.A.'s never have to lose any sleep worrying about whether he's out on the town with some sweet young thing. Maybe, just maybe, there's one wild chance in a million it might happen. But if he's a British C.A. I'd bet, from what I've heard, it won't be him. But decades of listening to women's com- plaints have convinced me macho males need help. It's the rare woman who says to me ex- citedly, "Wow, sex is great.- But reat"But hope may be on the way. Even for aging chartered accountants! I've just returned from an interesting and thought- provoking medical meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. I listened for several days while world au- thorities discussed the male menopause. Men and doctors have ignored this condition for years. And now a drug 'Andriol' can restore the 'tiger in the tank.' :3J:1 Ynu can write to Ur. Gifford -Jones c% Kinw 's 1lealth Centre. ? iO 1.'niversity Ave.. Toronto Af511 .11:5.

The program, which includes den- tal treatment for people on income support, is currently administered by the Region and the Ontario Dental Association (ODA). The Region looks after the admin- istration of 70 per cent of the pro- gram while the ODA is responsible for the remaining 30 per cent. But, the Region passed a resolu- tion last December to end its contract with ODA and assume full responsi- bility of the program April 1. However, after hearing concerns about that decision from area den - lists, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond intro- duced a motion to rescind that + ` original resolu- tion Wedncs- day.. Dr. Bob Campbell, pres- ident of the Durham -On- tario Dental So- STEVE ciety, asked PARISH councillors to revisit their car - her decision of money here and initiate a to he saved.' tender process because he believes the ODA could administer the program at a lower cost to taxpayers. "For us to ignore the potential of competitive options leaves taxpayers short of us having done our job," Mayor Diamond said. But, Dr. Patricia Main, the Re- gion's dental health director, told councillors the administrative change is simply a reorganization of work. However, although the Region rc- ports the administrative changes will be cost -neutral, local dentists con- tend there's no evidence to support that. They claim the ODA could ad- minister all Ontario Works dental services for a total cost of $35,(X)U, while health and social services committee chairman and Brock Councillor Larry O'Connor has said the price for the Region to run the entire program is estimated at ap- proximately $40,000.

"Expectations from patients, governments and other health care professionals demand flexible responses and innovative approaches," says CPA President Bev Lafoley. "Physiotherapists adapt very well to a variety of needs, as so much diversity exists within the profession. With our range of specialized knowledge from orthopaedics to obstetrics, we are constantly seeing ways to improve our treatment approaches and demonstrate the effectiveness of those approaches to prevent illness and injury." Physiotherapists across Canada will be using National Physiotherapy Week as an opportunity to not only celebrate the successes of the profession but, more importantly, to help educate the public about the benefits of physiotherapy care and expertise as well as promoting healthy lifestyles and wellness. "Physiotherapists work in virtually all health delivery settings, from hospitals to private and community clinics; with patients and clients from the very young to the elderly; dealing with complex neurological conditions following strokes and motor vehicle accidents to sports - related injuries, back care, whiplash, ergonomics and repetitive strain injury;' adds Lafoley.

Green thumbs & sturdy backs Toronto - Many people garden because it is a relaxing and satisfying activity. Well guess what'? This pastime can also be great for your physical fitness! With all the raking, digging, pushing and pulling involved in gardening, this activity works a variety of muscles while strengthening bones. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association and its almost 10,000 members want to share some helpful hints with gardeners during National Physiotherapy Week, which runs April 9 to 15, 2000_ Gardeners have a tendency to overwork themselves in their garden and end up nursing a sore back at the end of their hard day of work. Aches and pains often result from poor positioning of the body, poor gardening techniques and overuse of specific muscle groups. It has been discovered that the most common gardening injury occurs at the lumbar spine. This lower region of the back bears the brunt of prolonged and repetitive forward bending and lifting. Here are some friendly tips to ensure that your gardening is great for both your body and soul: * Begin your gardening with a nice light warm-up. Start with some easy raking or go for a five-minute walk to raise your heart rate and warm up your muscles. Follow this with stretching of all the major muscle groups in order to minimize muscular aches and pains and help prevent injury. Extra time should be devoted to stretching the muscles of your back, neck, hands and fingers. Ask your physiotherapist to show you some stretches that will be beneficial while gardening. Don't forget to warm up! Starting your exercise program without a warm up is like driving a car with a cold engine.

Making dietary changes can be quite an adventure for a client who decides to move in healthy directions to improve nutritional health and well- being. Making the commitment to healthy eating begins with becoming aware of how diet contributes to overall health: We must eat to stay alive, but the choices we make about what we eat are very important. What we eat affects our physical health, both immediately and in the long term. Foods we eat also have an influence on our mental, emotional, and even spiritual well-being. Therefore it is important to step back and assess what type of nourishment we are providing for ourselves. A garden wouldn't flourish on a steady diet of sugar and coffee, so why do we feed ourselves so often with these and other anti -nutrients such as artificial sweeteners and processed foods? In our fast -paced lives, we tend to choose foods that are fast, filling and familiar - but not necessarily good for us. Awareness is the first step to making changes. CHANCE TAKES TIME Any kind of change takes concentration and time. To succeed, patience is important - take small, manageable steps, and take pride in each accomplishment! Start off in 3 ways: Add. Substitute. Eliminate. For example, add some new foods into your diet: more fruit, vegetables, whole grains, or legumes. Sip on water through the day, aiming to take in 2 litres in total daily. Substitute healthier options: whole grains instead of white flour, alternative milks such as rice, soy, or almond instead of cow milk: natural nut butters instead of processed, sweetened peanut butter. Eliminate foods that you know are not healthy - foods high in fat, salt, sugar and additives and preservatives. The goal of eating should be to nourish ourselves with a wide variely of whole fresh and tasty foods: Variety is important so we get a diet balanced not only with nutrients, but with colours, textures and tastes as well! Whole foods - in the form as close to nature as possible - means that there are fewer additives in the diet. Fresh foods are preferable over canned or frozen, since there is no processing involved, no loss of nutrients or addition of ingredients "11118*41 sy to eafth" r Lose weight r Increase your energy level r Detoxify your body r Sleep better f# Improve your quality of life Call R**I n• Arbour at the MIllhw" COnneadon 360 Sayly St. Unit #Z, Alm (905) 6834 S32 you may not want to be eating. And food should be tasty - a pleasure to eat! Many health problems are related to the foods we eat. Allergies, asthma, skin problems, headaches, r[.or�► DEBORAH MacKINNON 3 A., R.N.C.P. ear infections, weight shifts, fatigue, and stomach and bowel problems (including gas, burping and belching) can be improved by diet changes, and especially by eliminating some of the foods that aggravate these symptoms - wheat, dairy products and sugar are usually top on the list. As a nutritional consultant I can help you to set up new eating plans that are suitable for your own situation - taking into consideration individual health concerns, lifestyle and personal goals. The fun begins once you make the commitment to dietary change - trying new foods, exploring supermarkets and health food stores to see what is available, and starting to feel new energy and health. At this point, a client may wonder about cleanses, special diets, green products, and supplements. Each of these will make a difference to health when used appropriately for individual needs to boost the body and to clear out the buildup resulting from years of poor eating. A nutritional consultant can help you determine what route is most suitable for you. The first steps moving in healthy directions are very exciting.

My husband and I both have flat feet and our seven year old has not yet developed an arch. He is also complaining of tired feet and legs, especially when he does a lot of walking. A. "Don't worry, they'll outgrow it" is a commonly heard response to parent's concerns about their child's foot function and appearance. However, all one needs to do is examine the numerous adult foot problems to realize that most of these abnormalities began in childhood and did not improve over time. Parents should be sensitive to complaints of fatigue or a hesitancy to walk or run without tiring. Additionally. chronic complaints in regard to foot and leg cramping should not always be dismissed as normal growing pains. Although it is normal for a child to experience some growing pains, this phenomenon is generally short-lived and resolves itself within a few months. Overall, the most common concern arising from a child's gait development is the question of flat feet. Although a child's foot normally appears "flat, fat and floppy" there is a gradual development of an arch and vertical heel position by the age of seven or eight. Excessive rolling in of the feet might be thought of as week ankles but is usually the result of flat arches. This pronated gait can lead to unsteadiness, fatigue. abnormal shoe wear and even pain up the leg. These are all symptoms that a flatfooted condition may be present. Moreover, early detection and treatment of these pediatric foot problems will assist in avoiding future foot, ankle and knee problems in the growing child. If you have a foot or leg concern and would like us to answer your questions, mail in to the News Advertiser. L I' -I 40 CHOOSING REMOVABLE DENTURES There are many adults who are you.

The people deserve it — a catalyst for growth in Durham Region. The time is now. A sp dal report by the Ndmland newspapers of Derham/Northumberland 3 01. 11 n A MESSAGE FROM IDITOR-IN-Cf1IEF JOANNE BURGHARDT HERE ARE MILESTONES in our history which take our community to a new level. Such a milestone will be university status for Durham Col- lege. With a university comes jobs, significant investment in our economy, enhancement in the quality of our lives and a much -im- proved ability for our sons and daughters to obtain a university education. My husband and I find ourselves in the same boat as many of you - facing the prospect of a considerable investment in post -secondary education for each of our three children. In the not -too -distant future we will have two children simultaneously attending college or university. It is a daunt- ing task when you sit down with a calculator and discover that, for a student living away from home, one year of university education is likely to cost $16,000. The choice of living at home while at- tending university reduces that amount by upwards of $8,000. The people at Durham College think out- side 'the box.' They realize in order for Durham to successfully attain university sta- tus, it must offer something unique. Durham's distinction lies in market-driven programs designed to support jobs of the fu- ture. In answer to changes in the workplace, Durham University will offer degrees such as Bachelor of Automated Manufacturing, Bachelor of eBusiness, Bachelor of Policing and Justice and Bachelor of Nursing. Those disciplines will be interlaced with college programs enabling students to earn a college diploma and a university degree in- side four years. And don't ever doubt the value of college/university education. Over the course of a working lifetime, economic studies have shown a degree is worth an extra million dollars in earnings. We owe our children that opportunity. The time to make the leap to university status in Durham is right now. The political HE NAME 'DURHAM' • has always been an im- portant part of the vision to establish a university in the region. As the Uniunivi - versity Centre has expanded over • the years at the Oshawa location, it has also branched out to form a Whitby campus as well as sites in Uxbridge and Port Hope, with Visi plans to include Ajax -Pickering. "We have 25 ages of land on Hwy. 47 at the very gateway of Uxbridge, coming in from Toronto," says college president re io Gary Polonsky. "It's the -highest lard in Uxbridge. It's beautiful, ;perfectly situated and that is when we will buik�." � t at by i dg` three All parts of Duty marked a si and three flags, may be modest at first but, according to the president, promises students from the northern put of the region access to col - and university programs and services. "Probably, the first phase will be about 15,000 square feet," he says of the plans to build. "Currently we are leasing, also on Hwy. 47, but the plan is to build in three to five years." Gail Brooks looks forward to that time. As a resident of Uxbridge and the Continuous Learning Program Officer for the Durham Col- lege site in town, she sees more than 3,000 students a year take part in the centre's day and night school programs. "We have five programs," she says, of the facility that offers con- tinuous learning courses, acadernic upgrading, career research and development, job searches and office resources. The site is located on • the second floor of an Uxbridge professional building, but be- cause of the number of students, many classes have to be held in rs church basements, the local li- brary or even the Township of- fice. Despite the lack of infra- structure, the customized train- ing for local businesses the pro - )n is gram delivers is always popular. The western part of the region is also very much in the picture when it conies to estab- I W1 de lishing more campuses in Durham. A section of land owned by the Province has been set aside on the north side of Taunton Road, west of Brock Road in Pickering. It contains 240 acnes. m included in the plan "We will probably build at Uxbridge before Pickering," says Mr. Polonsky. 'Ilbat's about five or six years away. Pickering will be a larger campus, but we won't duplicate what is in Oshawa. We will locate programs there more geared to the industry there like the Pickering nuclear power generat- ing (station)." Beyond Durham Region, in Northumberland County, Durham College's 'Job Connect' provides information about the college and courses. Located in a heritage building on Walton Street in Port Hope, the resource centre is geared toward young people ages 16 to 24 who might want to go to college, get a job, work part-time or during the summer. Job Connect also recently landed the Ontario Works contract for Northumberland County. climate is ideal with a Tory MPP in every corner of the region. From a management standpoint, Durham College has proved over the past 33 years it is up to the challenge. With one of the highest job -placement records among post -secondary institutions in the province coupled with one of the low- est cost -per -pupil ratios, we are home to it superbly run institution. Taxpayers' money appears safe with Durham College and Uni- versity Centre. Now is the time for a new creation we can all proudly celebrate and call our own - Durham University' ABOUT BUILDING FOR OUR FUTURE It's a dream that should be a reality -- a university for Durham Region.

Fire a university would bring the kind of applied PhD's to town who would create the knowledge which leads to 'new economy' cornpanie, and new. high -wage Jobs - Second. a university mould service companies already here. such as the recently announced Research and Dc - sign Centre at Gencral Motors. Thad. it would save families about $40.000 per child since students would not be forced to pursue a university education out of tow -n. Fourth.. a university would make the quality of life m our grew district even greatereventually betping to lo- cate a performing arts centre here. And fifth. it would produce a new kind of graduate, one w ith the sought-after can -do' skills for which Durham College has became known. as well as the high- er -ordered thinking so much in demand in the knowledge economy T?tese graduates are wanted in every strategic, indus- trial sector across Ontario and Canada. In fact, they are in such short supply that unless Ontario solves these short- ages soon. whole industries stand to move elsewhere. In addition to these five reasons, you can probably think of others including personal ones. as is the case with me. When I graduated from high school in Thunder Bay in 1959. there was no local university so I ended up going to the University of Manitoba. The same was true for my brother, who went to York. Ewers though everyone in our family worked hard, my parents eventually had to sell our home (small, two bed- rooms. by the railroad tracks) so their kids could finish university. Although that was the only house they ever owned.. they sold it gladly. believing as so many immi- grants did and still do - that their investment in their chil- dren's education would some day justify their crossing an ocean to a new country. My parents neer even thought of it as a sacrifice, but I did and still do and vowed if I could ever help other families achieve educational justice with less sacrifice, I would. Durham College President Gary Polonsky says the five main reasons for bringing a university to Durham are eco- nomics, jobs, quality of Irfe, cost of education and demo- graphics. We all recognize times have changed enormously since the 1960s, when Ontario created many of its current universities. We don't need any more liberal arts schools, as valuable as they are. In any event. we couldn't afford them. The model being proposed is far different and. I be- lieve, totally responsible for the times. Not only will it focus on 'new economy' jobs - with degrees such as Bachelor of Automatqd Manufacturing, Bachelor of eBusiness, Bachelor of Policing and Justice and Bachelor of Nursing - but it will do so in conjunction with Durham College. For example, we envision one board of governors, one administration, one-stop shopping for all student services and most importantly, academic programming totally in- tegrated between the college and university. As a result the vision will not only be vital for the economy but also, uniquely affordable. So, there it is. The time to do it is now. There has never been a better time and if we let the current opportunity slip by, it will be years - perhaps many years - before it might return again. [vet's just DU it: A special report by the Metreland newspapers of DwhamlNerthemberbod 5 Making a good thing even better ERHAPS NO OTHER Durham Col- lege program has more of a sense of urgency when it comes to creating an integrated college and university than the school of nursing. On Dec. 10, 1998, the Ontario College of Nurses announced that as of 2005, nurses practising medi- cine in the province must hold a baccalaureate degree. An ex- panded scope of practice in- cluding increased leadership, research and critical thinking roles are the reasons why the provincial body governing nurses says it will require degrees. "It will be good news for us if Durham College becomes a degree -granting institu- tion," says lean Jackson, professor in the nursing department at the college. With a target date for the transition to all bachelor of nursing education set at September 2001, time is of the essence. Currently, three-quarters of all Ontario nursing students graduate from community colleges and one-quarter from university. With no time to spare, the Durham College nursing faculty has been proactive in look- ing for the best way to meet the needs of fu- ture students, the community and the health care profession. The college has worked to develop collaborative programs with York and Trent universities although students and faculty alike agree having a Durham University operating alongside the college would be the best -case scenario. Durham College's struc- ture with its already estab- lished University Centre pro- vides the most appropriate method of meeting the collab- oration with Trent and York for now with a two-year plus two-year program for degree nurses. "We also have an agreement with Athabasca University where our graduates only need one extra year (following the col- lege program) to obtain degree completion," says Ms. Jackson. Erin Hallett and Deb Schuh are both third -year nursing students working on ob- taining their degree from Athabasca Univer- sity. Life would he a lot easier for the stu- dents if Durham College could grant degrees but both young women hope the long dis- tance correspondence with the Edmonton - based university will see them in practice faster. —There are governance issues," says Ms. New degree requirements for nurses means the push is on for university status ...together to serve the needs of our community. Lakeridge Health and Durham College are proud to continue their active partnership in student development through co-op programs, training and educational visits. 1AURIDGEIUALTH Patients First Jackson of the differences in administration and in general, the varying ways separate in- stitutions of higher learning operate. "Durham College is a great place already, it's innovative and we have an excellent nursing program. We have an excellent and well-established community component of our program, and we have built up a won- derful network of community and hospital placements." "We have placements with the Victorian Order of Nurses and St. Elizabeth Health Care, as well as one with occupational health at General Motors," says Judy Robinson, co-ordinator of the nursing pro- gram at Durham. "Of course, we have placements at all Lakeridge Health sites." Many Durham College nursing grads have found jobs at Whitby Mental Health Centre and Ms. Jackson says she thinks the new cancer centre at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa bodes well for nursing jobs. "I think that is another reason for us to become a degree -granting institution." she says. Durham College's nursing program takes in 75 new students each year but faculty members worry about a shortage in Durham Region as well as across the province and throughout Canada. The aver- age age of registered nurses in Ontario is now 45. The women agree nurses with degrees will be better prepared to meet increasing nursing challenges and the demands of heavy population growth in Durham Re- gion. "Having a university here will benefit employees and all of the people of Durham Region," says Ms. Hallett. "With the antic- ipated shortage it's (nursing shortage) only going to get worse." For those nurses already practising but who don't have a degree, Mrs. Robinson says she hopes Durham could offer them "part-time degree programs for working nurses." 1 chose Durham for the excellence of the program," says Ms. Schuh. "It is re- spected. if it was to become degree -granti- ng, it would round off a good experience." do 4 The DURHAM REGIONAL POLICE SERVICE, for many years hos been a partner with Durham College through the facilities of our Police learning Centre within the College.

"The region and province and country are desperate for high -skill workers," says Durham College president Gary Polonsky, the man spearheading the Durham University ini- tiative. "The vision is broader than (only) Durham Region." Business and industry go where the knowl- edge base is located whether it's in Kitchener - Waterloo in search of computer engineers, or in Durham where the kind of university schol- arship that can produce top-notch technology degrees will hopefully soon exist. In the 21st century, the internships corpo- rations like General Motors Canada operate in conjunction with institutions of higher learn- ing such as Durham College, furnish the op- portunities necessary to succeed in the com- petitive fields of computer -integrated manu- facturing and cutting edge engineering. A uni- versity would triple the opportunities for the price of one. The concept Mr. Polonsky shaves with a growing number of academic and business leaders is based on attracting high -paying, high -knowledge jobs to Durham Region. "We will create something no one else has," he says of the proposed degree -granting school. "We will be unique in brifiging work for the whole region where no new high - wage, high-technology jobs are taking the place of dwindling high -paying jobs. And what we are proposing doesn't exist in Toron- to. Nowhere else is there a college and uni- versity with the built-in uniqueness we are ad- vocating." Even though Durham boasts the fastest growing college in Ontario, with the highest tate of graduate success in the GTA, the re- gion cannot compete with cities like North York, Mississauga, Kitchener -Waterloo and London in terms of attracting well -paying se- cure jobs because, as Mr. Polonsky explains, it doesn't have a university. "It is a well-known fact there is a direct link between a university and good employ- ment," says Mr. Polonsky. '"The benefits of a university would be felt not just in Durham Region, one of this country's top manufactur- ing and export centres, but throughout On- tario and many parts of Canada." snrcH�kpP�s�' � c A special report by the Metmiand newsPaPON of o011101 WONMMbOrland Durham University... THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT Graduates from the college who want to go on to university would already have some of the necessary credits. And because of the lad- dered effect of the program and the kind of collaboration between the two educational in- stitutions, Mr. Polonsky contends the struc- ture would be set up "for students to get the best of both worlds." It's just a matter of credentials if students want to get both - a diploma and then a de- gree, says the president, promising, "'Ire cur- riculum prescribed will be rigorous. "We want to stay in both - college and uni- versity," he says. "We already have students and businesses that need both" ♦ The proportion of jobs held by university grads is 180/69 a figure expected to climb to 25% in the next 5 years. I'm in full agreement that the Region of Durham needs its own University. The administration team at Durham College has done a superb job in planning for a University. I will work towards making this dream into a reality for the benefit of our residents and current as well as future students. Jerry Ouellette, M.P.P. Oshaw 170 Athol St. E., Oshawa, Ont.

And even though Durham Region is, as those who live here know, a great community, it can be transformed into a communi- ty where its local university helps create and sustain an even higher quality of life. ` "Currently Durham does not have a perform- ing arts centre," says Mr. Polonsky. "Guelph the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. Then there's the Civic Au- ditorium, where Oshawa Generals stars Bobby Orr and Eric Lindros once played. The pad of ice at the Oshawa Golf does, Kitchener, Thunder Bay and Windsor do. Somehow a'university community tends to have that kind of community infrastructure and non - university communities don't." Traditionally, the presence of a university in a community provides the people and infrastruc- ture to make good things happen. World-class - leaders and captains of industry are attracted to centres of knowledge where the best and bright- est students and graduates can be found. Partners in success also need venues for themselves, their families and colleagues to enjoy and celebrate the quality of life they have worked so hard to51 earn. A university, the president of Durham College believes, would foster a rich and vi- brant quality of life by bringing greater economic prosperity to Durham employ- ers and residents alike. There are several gems already scattered throughout Durham Region. r Art galleries and museums hold col- lections reflecting some of the illustri- ous personages who've called Durham Region their home. Alexandra Luke paintings and others works created by the Painters Eleven form a particular- ,r ly stunning collection at the heart of Club can boast the presence of famed curler Effie Hezel- wood, and the green grass of the University Centre at Durham itself blankets the old stomping grounds of top thoroughbred champion Northern Dancer. Imagine the added quality of life a full-fledged universi- ty could bring to the region. Manufacturers, artists and ath- letes have made Durham Region proud in the past. A uni- versity and all of the quality of life such a venerable institu- tion entails, would not only provide a knowledge base to Ajax, Pickering, Whitby. Oshawa, Port Perry and Uxbridge unlike any other institution, it would include other quality of life venues.

University makes dollars and sense EW KNOWLEDGE 1S driving the new economy and the new economy hap- pens in 'city states' like Durham Region. No uni- versity = No ne►r knowledge. So reads one of the slides in the presentation Gary Polonsky has been showing to groups around the region in an effort to gain support to have a university established here. The college president does tend to get the attention of his audiences when he points out economic spin-off benefits to Durham could be between 54.5 -billion and $10.5-hillion per year. "A university not only creates high -paying jobs for professors, administrative employees and technical staff, it attracts new busi- nesses and clearly signals to existing employers this is a good place to expand," the college president said in an open letter to the people of Durham Region. "A home- grown university continually trains students for their place in a highly skilled workforce and enables those already working with a handy and highly credible means to up- grade their knowledge and skills. When you take into account all the prosperity a university offers, a universi- ty in Durham Region could ring up to $10-hillion in rev- enue each year!" It can't be argued. The most import reason for cre- ating Durham University is because it is directly related to prosperity and good jobs, not just for Durham Region but for all of Ontario, espe- cially in the realm of ad- vanced (automotive) manu- facturing. "Durham Region needs its own university, which builds on the market-driven programs of Durham Col- lege, for the jobs of tomor- row," says Mr. Polonsky. "In keeping with Durham Col- lege's superb track record of success and accountability, the university would share with Durham College a board of governors, presi- dent, administration and student services. The uni- versity would be built on land Durham college al- ready owns, directly north of the Oshawa campus. "I'm absolutely con- vinced that if we don't act now, the opportunity will soon be lost for many years ♦ In the past 25 years, the number of university degree holders has tripled. Between now and 2010 university enrolment is expected to increase by 200/6 as parents with university degrees push to have the same for their children. ♦ According to the 1999 Metroland Readership Study, 19% of adults in Durham Region are university grads, 44% have a college education and Wo did not go beyond high school.

Over the next two years the funds will help us carry out our $48 -million plan to greatly expand and renovate our facilities in Os- hawa and Whitby, so that we can continue to educate and train the high skill/high wage workers Canadian businesses need. There is another - and even more pressing - issue I want to bring to your at- tention: Durham Region needs its own university, now! Some may ask: Why should our region have its own university? What are we proposing? Why is it so urgent? I'm pleased to answer these important questions. Reason No. 1: Jobs High -paying, high -knowledge jobs are needed in Durham Region, so that our youth and others will be able to find the kind of employment that permits them to stay here and raise a family. Durham Region is behind other regiorWaties such as North York, Mississauga, Kitchener-WAterloo-Guelph and London that are making definite gains in high paying, -new economy" jobs. It is well known that there is a direct link between a university and such jobs. The benefits of the kind of university we are proposing would be felt not just in Durham Region - one of this country's top manufacturing and export centres - but throughout Ontario and many parts of Canada. Reason No. 2: Population Durham Region now has 470,000 residents, and it's slated to grow to one million within a generation. Ontario communities like Kingston (pop. 113,000), Peterborough (pop. 70,000) and Waterloo (pop. 90,000) are con- siderably smaller than Durham Region. 7bey eacb barge a uniraersity - Durbam Region sloes not! Reason No. 3: Economy A university not only creates high -wage jobs for professors and other staff, it attracts and creates new businesses. It also helps to sustain and expand existing businesses, by upgrading workers' credentials and providing an applied research capability. Based on the experience of the communities west of Toronto, a university in Durham Region would eventually generate up to $1 billion in commerce each year! Reason No. 4: Quality of life .It's no surprise that a kxal university helps create and sustain a high qual- ity of life, fostering amenities such as the beautiful performing arts centres In Kitchener and Guelph. Reason No. 5: Families If you have a daughter or son at an out-of-town university, you likely know that over four years, s/he will need at least $40,000 more than learning near home. If our residents had the chance to earn a degree close to home, they'd be able to keep these hard-earned dollars here. In addition, a local university also makes a degree accessible to those unable to relocate or commute long distances. Wbat, exactly, are we proposing? We are proposing a new kind of university, offering market-driven programs for the jobs of tomorrow. Building on Durham College's superb track record of success and accountability, the university programs would link directly with the college programs, enabling students to earn hotb a college diploma and a university degree in four years. In this way, they would have the choice of the "best of both worlds" - the can -do skills of the college and higher -ordered thinking of a university. This vision is not only right for the times, but is also uniquely affordable as in addition to the linked college/university programming, it would share with Durham College the same board of govemors, president, administration and student services. In fact, the total university budget for years to come will be a small fraction of Durham College's current budget. The university would be built on land Durham College already owns - the beautiful, southern 156 acres of Windfields Farm. Wby AOW? I'm absolutely convinced that if we don't act now, the opportunity will soon be lost for many years to come. The current Ontario Government has demonstrated that it is very receptive to the idea of applied, higher learning. As an example, the $742 -million in SuperBuild Growth Funding the Ontario government announced in late February was allocated specifically to colleges and universities that are steadfastly dedicated to training knowledge workers for high wage jobs in strategic industries ex- actly as Durham is proposing to do. YOU can help make it happen! While the challenge of creating a university is always high, you can play a vital role in making it happen. I urge you to phone, write or e-mail your MPP (cc the premier and the education minister), and let him or her know how important a university is to Durham Region (and the entire GTA, due to the market-driven nature of the vision). You can also urge your family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues to do the same. Together, I know, we can bring a university to Durham Region. We, the people, count! It's time to make our collective voice heard on the •rital matter of creating a university in Durham Region. Please write your letter - today! Yours respectfully, C� a0-9 I&,,? Gary Polonsky President, Durham College 12 A special report by the Metmiand nmPaPets of Orrbatq/Notthrmbedand E d i1sto ri al & OpiNioNs Building for our Future April 9, 2000 EDITORIAL A university to call our own Durham belongs in exclusive club IT SEEMED AN unlikely fit in the early 1960s. A college in Oshawa? The motor city? A lunch -buck- et town if there ever was one with a population in the 60,000 range. And what towns nearby would help support this newfangled educational institu- tion? Port Perry, Bowmanville, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering were all tiny, towns that had yet to grow. Where would the students come from? But people believed. And after a tough start - would you believe 16 portables and less than 200 students was all that existed when the doors first opened in September 1967 - Durham College be- came a reality. Steadily, over the years, our college grew just as the region it services did. Buildings, plans, pro- grams, faculty and students by the thousands who believed in an applied arts and sciences college ed- ucation made their way to Durham College. They wanted what we had to offer - the numbers simply don't lie. But the world had changed since those heady 1960s. From the time of the electric typewriter, we've progressed to the laptop, Internet -ready, high-speed, cellphone, fax -machine 21st century. The college still turns out and will continue to pro- duce job -ready graduates with the skills to make a difference today. But more is needed and Durham is ready and able to succeed. A university, located at the current site of the Oshawa campus and using the college administra- tion and other services which are already there, is the vision. But this would not be the kind of uni- versity we're used to seeing. No, this new school would offer high-tech degrees and the kind of train- ing needed for grads to make the smooth transition from school lab to medical lab. Like anything that's brand new - a college and university have never co -existed in Canada with students able to take both college and university courses to achieve a joint degree/diploma - Durham University would take some getting used to. But, different in this case is good. Durham University will be able to offer something which simply can't be achieved anywhere else in Canada. And young people who've been forced to pack up and travel elsewhere and who've faced massive debts of more than $25,000 upon graduation, will have a fair chance at a top -class education right here in Durham. The vision can become a reality and we'll all benefit from a university. The time is now. We're ready to take on the challenge which started back in 1967 as we embark on a brand new millennium. Durham can become a leader in the new economy with the knowledge-based training that is so vital in our world. E -MN ymw comments on figs oph0on to news- mome0home.eom.

IN THE NEWS: `1 believe it is time for a Durham University,' -- Janet Ecker, Sunday March 12, 2000 This Week �y t IN DURlUIMI If l � Two schools are better than one We could have used a university/college a long time ago ONCE UPON A time, it seems like a century ago, I went to university and received a degree, that, realizing I wasn't ready yet for the work- ing world, got smart and went to Durham Col- lege to study journalism. The whole process, unfortunately took far longer than it should have. A good friend earned a three-year universi- ty degree, then went to Durham to rowel off his education with a three-year diploma. A news- room colleague's daughter earned a three-year degree then went to Durham for a three-year dipkmAa. I could go on and on and on, but you get the point - faster, at least I hope, than we all did. Why did we have to go to two schools, spend thousands of extra dollars and shave years from our earning lives to receive what we could have done in four tidy years, with the comforts of home just minutes away? That's a question Durham College president Gary Polonsky has mulled over ever since he took the reigns here 12 years ago. The goal of a Durham University is about as sensible, practical and useful as they come. Imagine a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art post- secondoy instkudort that offers everything You could want. Well, it's within our grasp to get it. A Durham University would complement, not replace the fine college we currently have. A carefully planned academic career could well see a student graduating in four years with a'supee degree involving a mix of college and tniversity courses. Most important of all, that student would be totally job -ready, ready to take on the world at the ripe young age of 22. Tim Kelly Copy Editor That's the kind of future Durham Universi- ty together with Durham College can provide. Something new for the 21st century, fully wired for all the challenges a fast -changing global economy brings with new courses, fo- cused on eBusiness and advanced technology, computer science and engineering. A learning centre right there to teach nurses the very latest medical information they'll have to know to keep up. Durham can be the place where it all hap- pens- Our children and grandchildren shouldn't have to pack up and leave - unless they want to. They must have the chance to get a first-class, total education without having to go into mas- sive debt. That's not the way to start adulthood. The Durham we live in today is far re- moved from the one I left in 1979 to attend uni- versity- We've come so far, grown so much and boast such a tremendous future. But to do it all, to be the complete region we know we can be, we need to have our own university. We can and we should have it all. Here's hoping Durham University will be a full- fledged fact before the end of this year and will start accepting its first group of students by the fall of 2002.

A total of $30 million of the $48 million the college is spend- ing to expand and improve facilities in Whitby and Oshawa will go to the "smart building", a roughly 35,000 -square -foot facility equipped with shops, technical labs and a computer - integrated manufacturing lab, says Mr. Polonsky. "ITtere simply won't be a better facility like it in North America," he says. Durham College received $28.75 million from the Province's SuperBuild Growth Fund which, combined with college funding and donations from corporate partners, will finance the huge growth spurt. Mr. Polonsky told Durham Regional Council the news Feb. 23, and the funding an- nouncement was celebrated at the college two days later with Durham MPPs Janet Ecker, Jim Flaherty and John OToole handing over the big cheque. Tayce Wakefield, General Motors of Canada vice presi- dent, spoke of the centre's importance on behalf of the col- lege's partners, including GMC, Bell Canada, IBM and Nor- tel. ,.In the new millennium, the way that we are going to suc- ceed is to give our people in Durham Region outstanding, world-beating skills," she said at the press conference. In an interview, Ms. Wakefield explains that Durham Re- gion is known throughout North America as a leading manu- facturing region. But, future success depends on worker-- whose orkerswhose knowledge of manufacturing skills is matched by a commanding grasp of technology skills. "Ibe trick is that there isn't yet a cadre of skilled workers who understand fully how to integrate the. new technology skills," she says. Enter Durham College, which prides itself on producing graduates who "have the best of both worlds -- a firm grasp of technical skills and higher -order thinking skills," explains Mr. Polonsky. "In addition to knowing how to do stuff, they have to know how to lead people." Ms. Ecker says this kind of graduate is an individual "very well equipped" to meet the changing demands of the manu- facturing sector.

She also knows the importance of a degree. The fascinating story of Yanlai Li -Vincent begins in China where she was a leading stage actress. When she met and married a Canadian, Rolland 'Vince' Vincent, she wound up ac- companying her teacher husband to his hometown of Oshawa in the late 1980%. A long-time instructor and director at Durham College, Mr. Vin- cent encouraged his bride to pursue post -secondary education. "I chose Durham College because upon arrival in Canada I stayed at the home of my husband in Oshawa," she indicated in a recent e-mail. "It was therefore easy for me to attend Durham College and not have to travel daily to Toronto." But first, the then -36 -year-old who had graduated from an arts col- lege in China before working in theatre, had to upgrade in math and English. And although she still credits her teachers for the fact she earned a Grade 12 equivalency with an 'A' average, Mrs. Li -Vincent was merely proving she had what it took to succeed. "I found the teachers to be most helpful and understanding to me," she says, modestly. "My success in the program was due to their dedi- cation to the task. It was also a very helpful year to make the transition from China to the Canadian way of life and by mixing with the Cana- dian students I was able to integrate quite fast and become prepared for the post -secondary courses." The business and applied arts professors at Durham advised her in 1990 to take the three-year public relations program, building on her previous education and work experience. As most Durham graduates Yanlai Li -Vincent, a graduate of Durham College, went on to complete a business ad- ministration degree at York and is now vice-president of a joint venture located in China. do, especially honours grads such as herself, she found work as soon as she graduated. She accepted only part-time employment, though, so she could complete a business administration degree at York University. "Upon completion, I became a'full-time (employee) and was relo- cated to China as vice-president and general manager of a joint ven- ture," explains Mrs. Li -Vincent. Obviously, her employer, Mundet In- ternational, liked what they saw in their new employee and sponsored her to study for a master's degree in business administration in England. Currently, Mrs. Li -Vincent and her husband live on the site of the joint venture about three hours' drive from Hangzhou - considered one of the most beautiful cities in China - in Zhejiang Province, bordering on the East China Sea. "I will always remember Durham College with fond memories be- cause of the dedication and friendliness of the professors, staff and stu- dents," she adds. "My first impressions of Canada were formed in On- tario, Oshawa and Durham College ... After I became an executive manager, Gary Polonsky was always available, on call if I needed ad- vice. "The creation of a university at the Durham College location will in my opinion be a great asset to Oshawa and District," continues Mrs. Li - Vincent. "The establishment of a university in Oshawa will allow many students to attend who cannot otherwise afford the travel and accom- modation expense to attend a university in Peterborough, Toronto or Kingston. The concept of a University Centre as envisaged by Durham College will become a role model for Canada in supplementing the tra- ditional concept and model of university education. I wish Durham Col- lege and Oshawa great success in creating the university centre."

An additional concern is that for many students, the future is not so certain immediately after high school. "A lot of times when students come out of high school, they are not 100 per cent sure what the want to do," says Mr. McWhirter who wound up working for a landscaping business after earning his degree.

"We hope to offer a seamless system of education and services in the form of a diploma or a certificate which can be applied to- wards a degree." Following study in the Legal Ad- ministration program, a graduate can work as a law clerk in criminal and civil law. "Police foundations is the desired and preferred route to polic- ing in Ontario," says Mr. Judd. Besides providing the graduate with the skills and knowledge re- quired for an entry level position in policing, all applicants for police services in Ontario are required to pass a provincial certificate exam, based on the learning requirozments of the Police Foundations Program. Durham was one of three colleges to have a graduating class from the Police Foundations Program last May since graduates of the school's law and security course who entered the new program in September 1998. were given credit for one year. "Law and Security deals with se- curity issues like customs, correc- tion, immigration," explains the 24 - year veteran of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "The program should provide better quality police officers." Currently, the programs for 750 daytime students are included in an agreement with Athabasca Universi- ty of Edmonton.

But Bob Malcolm - son wouldn't trade his college memories for those of the most pampered ivy -lea- guer. "The first year we only had portables," re- members the executive director of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. "(President) Gordon Willey was a great guy ... There were only five of us in my class and about 125 stu- dents in the college. We were like a family. I got a lot of good grounding there." True to form, Mr. Malcolmson still has his college yearbooks from 1968 and 1969, and a copy of 'Drum' magazine from March 1970 for which his picture graced the cover. They have been well -cared -for these 30 years as have his recollections. Although the more things change, the more they stay the same. When he looked around following gradu- ation from high school, the Oshawa teenager couldn't afford to go away to school. "My options were limited," he says, "but in 1967, community college was not as ex- pensive. I got to stay at home and had a part- time job while I went to school. If I had to work on a project, I could go back on the weekend." Like other similar initiatives scattered throughout the province, Durham College was born in the year of Canada's centenary celebrations as part of the Centennial Trust. The notion of applied arts and sciences col - leges was first broached by the then Minister of Education William Davis who introduced legislation for their creation in 1965. The plan was to establish colleges which would serve young people who wanted training for the new, burgeoning high-tech economy but who weren't planning to go to university. When he looks back to those days as a three-year business administration student in the new kind of school, images of snowball fights and muddy paths leading from one portable to another abound. There was no cafeteria let alone a student centre with a pub. The scholars of the day made do with vend- ing machines and Tony's Refreshment Ser- vices trucks. And the college president would drop in on a class once in a while. "Gord Willey came to our class one day and brought a big jar of beans," remembers Mr. Malcolmson. "He liked to make the point that we could advance ourselves and rise to the top. Then he shook the jar and all the big beans came to the top and he said, 'I want all you guys to rise to the top. Be big beans!"' Today, Mr. Malcolmson welcomes the ini- tiative to add a university to his alma mater. "It has to happen," he says. "My third child is in university this fall. It is not inexpensive. If you have the option to go to an applied tech- nology school and get a university education, why not? And the college has the reputation because of its guarantee." Durham College has a graduate success rate of 97.8 per cent. "I remember getting out of high school and what big decisions there were," he con- tinues.

"This way, going to Durham, I paid for my own education because I had a part-time job," he says happily. "I even had a car." Mr. Malcolmson will never forget his graduation, held at General Sikorski Polish Hall. "The whole place was full," he says of the spring 1970 celebration during which both the first class of three-year and second -year students received their diplomas. "There must have been a couple of hundred students and their families. My parents were there and my grandparents came all the way from Prince Albert, Sask. My aunts and uncles came from Toronto. We wore the n A (gradua- tion) gowns and mortarboard hats and be- cause I was a second -lieutenant in the On- tario Regiment, my parents put on a recep- tion in the (R.S. McLaughlin Armoury) offi- cers' mess." The only thing Mr. Malcolmson says he regrets is that no one thought to preserve one of those portables he began his college edu- cation in almost 33 years ago. But he is en- . thused about building upon the school's modest beginning. "Durham needs a university," he says. "It would be an injustice not to because this area is the logical place."

And Mr. Shields welcomes the initia- tive to bring a university to Durham to co- exist with the college. "I think it would be great to provide the option for the sons and daughters of our workers to go to university close to home," said Mr. Shields.

That value placed on higher education is something very precious to his union members. And the lack of a university in Durham Region is something Mr. Shields finds surprising. "I go to a lot of different communities that are smaller than the ones we have here in Durham and they have universi- ties. That amazes me," he says. The chance to go to school locally would cut the cost of education by 50 per cent or more says Mr. Shields. He adds that the work world has drastically changed since the 1970s when young peo- ple usually faced one of two clear options. "When I was young," says the 41 -year- old, "you either went to university or col- lege or took a job at General Motors. But that hasn't been a real option since the mid-1980s, the last time GM did any sig- nificant hiring. "That's why it's more important than ever that we have education options.

That's a scenario Doug Armstrong, the gen- eral manager of the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce would rather not envision. "It's such a big part of the community. It would be devas- tating if we ever lost Trent," says Mr. Armstrong. The university, which was established in 1964, has been a critical part of the greater Peterborough community for more than a third -of -a -century. It's helped elevate the mid- sized Kawarlhas city of 70,000 into a national and interna- tional centre. Trent, a liberal arts and sciences undergradu- ate university, has developed a respected national reputation, consistently ranking high in the Maclean's university polls. It has also produced Rhodes scholars and other esteemed graduates and has counted Margaret Laurence and Peter Growski (current) among its chancellors. Trent's striking main campus, located along the banks of the Otonabee River has won international architectural awards. But it's not just esteem and status which Trent brings to Peterborough. It also contributes jobs and money - lots of both. "We estimate the university generates $1 18 million a year locally. And, with enrolment expected to jump with the dou- ble cohort coming in 2003 projections are Trent will pro- duce $155 million per year here," says Mr. Armstrong. This past year, Trent had 721 full-time employees, and its expected more will be hired with an increase in student growth. What Peterborough has - the city is also home to the main campus of Sir Sandford Fleming College, Durham College's counterpart - is simply what Oshawa and Durham aspire to with the goal of a new university charter.

The growth of the college has been slow and steady but like the tortoise, Durham's determined to win the educational race. And the creation of a university on the college campus would be the final piece in a fascinating puzzle. Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology was part of a great 1960s expansion in Ontario post -secondary education fueled by the massive number of baby boomers coming of age. Part of the glorious Centennial year of 1967 when an incredible number of projects were launched across the country, Durham started out as a ragtag bunch of porta- bles on Simcoe Street North in Oshawa. But Durham's dynamic first president, Gordon Willey, for whom the main building at the college is now named, was determined to make a success of the venture. 1 can see us all out here over the weekend with hammer and nails," said Dr. Willey in September 1967, just days be- fore the college - all of 16 portables in a former cow pasture - opened. Just 200 students were in that very first Durham class with their numbers spread around in six programs: technol- ogy, drafting, electronics, three-year business, two-year business and secretarial. Minister of Health Matthew Dy- mond, a local MPP, spoke at the opening of the college on Oct. 14, 1967, saying, "Education can never stand still. This is the day of the instant school.

Dr. Willey pushed hard to keep the college in the news that very first year with the goal of boosting applications for the following year. He planned to bolster enrolment to 600 from 190 in the second year with the addition of 21 more portables and 28 new teachers. As well, by October 1968, the school had a new one -storey building which included a cafeteria, labs, classrooms, a lecture room and a library. Durham was off and running. Plans, which appeared wildly optimistic at the time: en- rolment in the thousands, plenty of new buildings, now seem almost quaint. Remember, this was in a day and age when universities were considered the only real postsecondary op- tions. Community colleges were looked on then as glorified high schools, as holding centres for students who couldn't get into university or who didn't know what they wanted to do after high school. Three decades on and into the era of the Internet, com- puter science, advanced manufacturing, high technology sectors in the health field and community colleges, especial- ly one twinned with a university, as in the proposed Durham model, seem only natural. From a small seed, much has grown and it would appear Durham will only become bigger and better in future. NORTHWOOD RIDGE 1 � , 1Oti I .�Iraiom of Phase 1 lots c,+ THE STRATTON 4 - 2.1 J7 S ;. FT ?
