PICKERING —The cause
of a Liverpool Road and Finch
Avenue-area fire has been
ruled accidental by Pickering
Fire Services.
Deputy Fire Chief Mark
Diotte said the blaze began in
the garage of 1311 Redwood
Lane in the early morning
hours of Nov. 13 before
spreading to the house next
door and causing an estimated
$720,000 damage to the con-
tents and structure of the two
homes, which have been
deemed uninhabitable. Deputy
Chief Diotte did not give a spe-
cific cause for the blaze.
There were no injuries to
residents or Pickering fire-
fighters, officials said.
Durham public board
employs 514 new
educators
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s pub-
lic school board hired 100 more
teachers this year than last, half
of whom were recent graduates.
Durham District School Board
staff at Monday’s board meeting
released a report on how many
teachers were hired, where they
came from and why they came to
Durham. It is the second straight
year the board has done the sur-
vey.
Statistics show the board hired
548 teachers (full-time equivalent
514) by mid-October, compared
to 446 at about the same time last
year. For the second straight year,
roughly eight out of 10 of the new
hires said geographic considera-
tions prompted them to look for
work in Durham. New graduates
comprised 48 per cent of the new
employees, compared to 35 per
cent in 2000.
Craig Burch, employee rela-
tions superintendent, said other
factors were involved in decisions
to work here.
“We have competitive salaries
in the Greater Toronto Area...” he
said. “We continue to have, I
think, the highest reputation for
boards in Ontario for profession-
al development. Durham is a
good place to work and it’s a
good place to raise children, and I
think that’s very important as
well.”
Seven out of 10 educators
were trained in Ontario, virtually
the same number in last year’s
survey, and once again, most of
See DURHAM page 2
the new teachers came from faculties
of education in Toronto (153),
Kingston (55), southwestern Ontario
(66) and northern Ontario (55).
The number of teachers who came
from other countries rose to 70, com-
pared to 47 last year. The United
States led the way with 34, followed
by Australia or New Zealand (14) and
the United Kingdom (11).
Fifty-eight per cent of the new
teachers learned of job opportunities
via the board’s Web site.
Mr. Burch said the board does
“very little” pool hiring, in which
teachers apply to the system as op-
posed to a specific school.
“They prefer it, because they’re
actually applying... to a real job, with
a real principal, with a real school,
where they know where the timetable
is,” he said.
Brian Reid, the board’s manager of
employee services/hiring, warned the
shortage of certified supply teachers
is expected to continue and even
worsen. The board hired 72 supply
teachers this year, one more than last
year.
“With the many (full-time) oppor-
tunities that are out there, there are
simply fewer and fewer supply teach-
ers left,” he said.
On the issue of retaining teachers,
Mr. Burch advised trustees to remem-
ber the origin of gratuities, in which
an employee who takes very few sick
days over a 25-year career with the
board is entitled to 50 per cent of
their salary upon retirement. Twenty-
year employees receive 40 per cent
and 10-year employees receive 20 per
cent of their salary.
Mr. Burch said the practice started
in the 1970s when, like today, there
was a lot of movement of teachers be-
tween boards.
“One should be cautious about at-
tempting to do away with them,” he
said in an interview.
Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melin-
da Crawford suggested the govern-
ment should provide funding to the
board to advertise teacher positions.
“We need to have that continuous-
ly on the minds of those who are
coming up to that graduation of col-
lege and university,” she said.

Closing rural school
‘doesn’t make sense’
to councillor
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City council
has joined the fight to save Valley
View Public School in Greenwood.
Council voted unanimously
Monday to approve a motion re-
questing the Durham District
School Board recognize the impor-
tant role of Valley View and ensure
it remains open and continues to
serve the community.
Ward 3 City Councillor David
Pickles in an interview said he re-
ceived a number of calls from par-
ents and residents in the small ham-
let opposed to the board’s proposed
accommodation plan, which calls
for it to be closed along with six
other schools in Durham.
“It’s the only school in a com-
munity in a large rural area in north
Pickering,” he said. “In an urban
area it may be easier to move stu-
dents from one school to another,
but in the countryside where the
nearest school is quite a ways away
it doesn’t make sense.”
Under the plan to close Valley
View, students would be bused to
either Claremont Public School or
Cadarackque Public School in
Ajax.
Coun. Pickles said those two
schools are not close enough to
Greenwood and the busing would
be very “tough on the community”.
He believes moving students to
schools already overcrowded could
force students to spend most of
their elementary years in portables.
“In my day we would have
maybe one year or one class every
day in a portable,” he said. “These
kids could be looking at four con-
secutive years in a portable.”
School board staff has main-
tained under-utilized schools have
to be closed to offer students a vi-
able education program and to re-
ceive provincial funding for new
student places region-wide.
Council’s motion has been for-
warded to school board staff,
trustees, and Minister of Education
Janet Ecker, who also serves as the
Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge MPP.
Coun. Pickles said if his sched-
ule permits, he will take the fight to
school board accommodation plan
meetings in December.

Ajax-Pickering
organization wants
to reach out to
women in abusive
relationships
DURHAM —November is
Woman Assault Prevention
Month and a local group has a
message it wants to get out —
violence against women and
children will not be tolerated.
The Women’s Rights Ac-
tion Coalition of Durham
(WRAC) hopes to spread the
message by reaching out to
women living in abusive rela-
tionships.
WRAC holds a public edu-
cation seminar Wednesday,
Nov. 28 in Rooms 1 and 2 of
the Pickering Recreation Com-
plex, Valley Farm Road south
of Hwy. 2. It runs from 7 to 9
p.m. and the keynote speaker
is Smita Vir Tyagi, who has
extensive experience in anti-
violence and anti-oppression
work.
WRAC spokesman Esther
Enyolu said violence against
women cuts across all racial,
social, cultural, economic, po-
litical and religious spectrums.
She noted Statistics Canada re-
ports 51 per cent of women are
affected by violence in their
homes, while another study
found 70 per cent of high
school girls have been either
sexually assaulted or physical-
ly abused by their boyfriends.
Forms of abuse include
physical, emotional, verbal,
psychological, economic, sex-
ual, threatening, isolation and
stalking.
Abuse negatively impacts
the self-image and self-esteem
of women and children, Ms.
Enyolu said. Children exposed
to abuse tend to experience
nightmares, be withdrawn, dis-
play aggressive behaviour, or
feel ashamed or humiliated.
The seminar is open to
everyone.
For more information or to
register for the seminar, call
905-427-7849 or 1-877-849-
5853.

Local MPP pledges
choice for families,
union members in drive
for leadership
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM —A kinder, gentler
Jim Flaherty told a packed room of
supporters and media how he would
lead his party to the “compassionate
role that government must play to
help the less fortunate”.
The 51-year-old finance minister
and deputy premier made it official
Friday: he wants to be the next pre-
mier of Ontario.
Introduced by his wife, local
lawyer Christine Elliott, and accom-
panied by his 10-year-old triplet sons
John, Galen and Quinn, Mr. Flaherty
was flanked by Tory caucus support-
ers that included cabinet members
John Baird and Tim Hudak and MPPs
Bart Maves, Steve Gilchrist, Ernie
Hardeman and Durham’s John O’-
Toole.
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP
Janet Ecker, who is education minis-
ter and house leader, has gone on
record as supporting former finance
minister Ernie Eves, the acknowl-
edged front-runner to replace outgo-
ing Premier Mike Harris.
Standing firm on his initiative to
give an education tax credit for par-
ents who send their children to pri-
vate schools, Mr. Flaherty said he’d
like to see “between 50,000 and
100,000 more lower-income people
in Ontario, off provincial tax rolls.
“This is about giving hard-work-
ing Ontario families more choice.
Choice to spend
their money on
Christmas gifts
for their chil-
dren, to paint the
kitchen, or to
help pay for
life’s other ne-
cessities.”
Calling for the
health-care sys-
tem to “keep the
best and fix the
rest” by develop-
ing regional au-
tonomy and co-
ordination, Mr.
Flaherty pledged
to “eliminate the
waiting lists for
cancer treatment
within five
years.”
Perhaps the
most contentious
proposal he
made was to
bring in what he
dubbed ‘pay-
cheque protec-
tion’ legislation
to give workers a
choice in how
their union dues
are spent.
“Thousands
of people in this
province pay
union dues,” he
said. “That’s fine. But what isn’t fine
is when unions use workers’ money
for things that workers just don’t sup-
port. The hard-working people that I
know don’t want to send their money
to support organizations that engage
in violence and vandalism. That isn’t
fair.”

My name is Paula Jo Owens.
I live with my husband,
Keith, and our two children,
Kyla and Brianna. I am an
office manager. I discovered
an amazing weight loss
breakthrough that helped me
melt off 55 lbs. of unwanted
fat. My dress size quickly
plunged from a plump 18 to a
slender 10 and it was effort-
less! I took off my weight
without diets, pills, packaged
foods or expensive herbs. I
hope that my story will help
other people who are over-
weight and miserable the way
I once was...
By: Paula Owens
Tears of frustra-
tion stung my eyes. I was sit-
ting on the edge of my bed,
tugging on a pair of blue
jeans. I couldn't even get
them past my thighs! But
that wasn't the worst of it.
They were not my blue jeans,
they were my husband's!
I remember feel-
ing so desperate, I could
barely breathe. I knew my
weight had been steadily
climbing for the past 3 years,
but I'd had no idea how
much.
Fast Food Frenzy
In truth, it was
no wonder that I'd grown so
fat. My eating habits had
spun out of control. Most
nights I felt so stuffed that I
would have to change into
sweatpants just to breathe! I
couldn't stop it. My attempts
at dieting were disastrous. It
was as if I had no control over
my hands. I just kept feeding
myself.
I could sense that
my husband was no longer
attracted to me the way he
used to be. I knew that he
loved me, but I felt as if
we were just going
through the
motions. I was suf-
fering emotionally.
I had lost all
respect for myself.
My Amazing
Discovery
By
the time of the
'jeans inci-
dent,' I had
given up on
dieting. I had
tried every-
thing from diet
pills to starva-
tion. Nothing
worked. My
weight would
always shoot
right back up
plus more.
As I sat on
the bed, tears
streaming
down my
cheeks, I
remembered a
conversation
that took place
about six
months earlier.
A close friend
had told me
some amazing
stories about
people who had
lost weight and
kicked their
smoking habits
by being hyp-
notized.
She said
that these
amazing results were
happening right in our
hometown at Positive
Changes Hypnosis and that I
could go in for a free hypnot-
ic screening. 'They get excel-
lent results!' she'd said.
My friend and I
grew up together so I trusted
her. But I'd been skeptical. It
was all so new to me.
Hypnosis made me think of
crystal balls and swinging
watches.
Was I ever wrong!
The office was sur-
prisingly professional
- something like a
doctor's office, but
not so clinical. I saw
happy people that
were thrilled by
how hypnosis
had changed
their
lives. I
thought,
hey, this
is for real.
Hypnosis
actually
works.
My
consultant was
refreshingly
open and hon-
est. She
answered all
my questions
and made me
feel at home.
Even the fee was surprising-
ly low. I was so impressed. I
decided right then that hyp-
nosis was the solution to my
weight problem.
Instant Success!
Right after my
first hypnosis session, I
noticed a change in my eat-
ing habits. I immediately
stopped drinking cola. I had
no taste for it. Water and
fruit juice are far more satis-
fying to me.
I lost about 4
pounds my first month. After
that my weight melted off so
quickly, I hardly knew it was
happening. I would average
three pounds a week. It took
me 6 short months to shed
my entire 55 lbs.!
Hypnosis made
my weight loss easy and
effortless. I didn't even have
to think about it. Hypnosis
has eliminated my food crav-
ings and bad eating habits.
There is no comparison to
where I was before being
hypnotized.
Candlelight & Romance!
The changes I've
experienced with hypnosis
are so powerful that it's hard
to explain. Before hypnosis, I
felt like an 'it.' Nobody paid
attention to me. People
notice me now.
I feel like a
woman again. Before being
hypnotized, I never dreamed
I would get here.
My husband has
always been a hopeless
romantic. He loves to make
candlelight dinners for me.
Since losing my weight, our
romance has rekindled.
These days, when Keith looks
at me, I can tell that he loves
what he sees!
"Hypnosis Does It All!"
My success with
hypnosis was fast, easy and
effortless. I feel in control.
It's comforting to know that I
will never go out of control
like that again.
I recommend
Positive Changes Hypnosis
every day because I have
experienced their success
first hand. One woman
showed me her before pic-
ture. She had lost 80 lbs. I
met a husband and wife who
were ecstatic! He had lost
105 lbs. and she had taken off
95 lbs! I was skeptical about
hypnosis until I met these
people. What a difference!
Now I have my
own success story to tell!
Hypnosis came through for
me when all else had failed.
In fact, hypnosis does it all! I
am calm and relaxed. My
energy level is through the
roof. My body feels strong
and willowy. I did all this
without ever feeling deprived
and with no negative side
effects! I owe 100% of my suc-
cess to Positive Changes
Hypnosis. Thanks to them, I
am wearing my own jeans in
a slim size 10.
So if you are con-
sidering Positive Changes
Hypnosis, I urge you to do it
now. I waited and suffered for
months - until I couldn't even
fit into my husband's blue
jeans! Don't let that happen
to you.
Call Positive
Changes Hypnosis to sched-
ule your free hypnosis
screening. Hypnosis changed
my life. It can do the same for
you. In my opinion, the bene-
fits are unlimited. But the
only way you'll know is to
find out for yourself. So pick
up the phone and call now.
Weight Loss Made Easy!
"I had lost all respect
for myself."

Paula Owens Shares Her Story of
"Effortless" 55 Lb. Weight Loss!
Jeff and Kathee Clarke have

and work together at an aerial
photography company. They

instantly after being hypno-
tized. What follows is their
amazing true story as told at a

called Positive Changes
Hypnosis for information. They
would occasionally send me
invitations to come in for a free
hypnosis screening. One day I
told Jeff that I really wanted to
quit smoking. I said, 'I am going.
You can go with me or not.'
Jeff: I'm sure glad I decided to
go! Even though Kathee was a
lot more enthusiastic about hyp-
nosis at first, I was amazed at
how easy it was.
Kathee: Neither of us smoked
after the first session. One ses-
sion and we were done!
Jeff: We both had been smok-
ing for over 25 years.
Kathee: I was smoking about
a pack of cigarettes a day. Jeff
was up to a pack and a half per
day.
Jeff: Whenever I'd try to quit,
I would become very irritable.
Kathee can attest to that. I could
not focus on anything. The last
time I tried to quit, she told me I
had to start again because I was
too hard to live with. Hypnosis
was completely different. It was
easy.
Kathee: I had tried to stop
smoking using the gum, the
patch, and cold turkey. I could-
n't get rid of the desire. I wanted
a cigarette all the time. Positive
Changes Hypnosis took away
the desire. The rest was easy; I
had no withdrawals and for that
I was grateful.
Jeff: We also noticed an
increase in our energy level. Our
boss says we smell better!
Kathee: Positive Changes
Hypnosis has given us benefits
galore. Besides the health bene-
fit, we are saving money and
have experienced boosts to our
confidence and self-esteem.
Jeff: That makes Positive
Changes a very smart invest-
ment.
Kathee: We would recommend
Positive Changes Hypnosis to
anyone who wants to quit smok-
ing as easily as we did! We rec-
ommend it to folks all the time.

To the editor:
Re: ‘It’s written all over their faces,’editor-
ial, Nov. 16.
It is with disappointment I read your ed-
itorial, which seems so oblivious to the
lessons that should have been learned from
the recent past. This is particularly true with
your desire that extracurriculars be en-
trenched in schools.
Volunteerism in schools, as in broader
society, is the result of goodwill. It is not
amenable to entrenchment. It can be nur-
tured and encouraged but cannot be de-
manded, forced or legislated. Even the Mike
Harris government — antagonistic as it is to
those who do the actual work of educating
students — recognized this when it with-
drew the legislation that would attempt to
mandate extracurriculars participation.
The vulnerability of extracurriculars to
labour unrest arises from precisely the same
source as its strength — the fact they are de-
livered by people who are motivated by a
love of what they’re doing. Take away that
motivation and you take away what makes
the whole system worth saving.
Even difficult and protracted contract ne-
gotiations, when conducted within the at-
mosphere of the mutual respect that seems
to prevail currently between public sec-
ondary school teachers and their employer,
are unlikely to interfere with teacher volun-
teerism. In my 11-and-a-half years of teach-
ing in this board, only a ham-handed effort
to implement government policies antitheti-
cal to the effective delivery of public educa-
tion has succeeded in doing that.
Perhaps, then, the best guarantee of on-
going extras is obvious: at the next available
opportunity, let’s vote in a government that
sees teachers as partners in, rather than ob-
stacles to, a vital, caring, successful school
system. That alone will bring us as close to
entrenchment as we should ever wish.

NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 25, 2001
There’s the sweet old woman who
always wears a smile and has a kind
word before saying goodbye.
There’s her neighbour nearby who
is tiny and frail, but still manages to
walk with a bounce in her step.
Then there’s the elderly gentleman
who lives in one of the local high-rise
buildings and always answers the
door promptly and makes sure he
knows how I’m doing. He always of-
fers a friendly half-wave, half-salute
when I’m on my way out the door.
These are the wonderfully friendly
and unassuming people I’ve met in the
last six months while delivering hot,
nutritious lunches through the local
Meals on Wheels program, which is
part of the larger Community Care or-
ganization serving residents in Ajax
and Pickering.
Apparently, it’s a job that causes
much happiness.
It’s not hard to find someone smil-
ing at the Community Care office in
Ajax. The officials who create order
and bring a military efficiency to the
job of creating and maintaining routes
always wear a smile. You’ll also find
the volunteers grinning as they pick
up their day’s deliveries. And I’ve al-
ready mentioned the clients — happy,
happy, happy!
The credit, if you’re looking to
give some, lies with the people who
created Community Care. It’s with the
people who donate to the local United
Way to help programs like Meals on
Wheels continue. It’s with the long-
term volunteers who come to know
their community and the people in it
with a depth of connection few of us
could imagine. It’s with those who be-
lieve so deeply in the goodness of the
cause they don’t see it as volunteering
as much as they see it as a calling.
I enjoy my handful of clients; I’m
getting to know them a little better
with every visit and want to learn
more about them. It’s gotten to the
point that I actually look forward to
Mondays.
As far as volunteering goes, I’m a
Johnny-come-lately. I have written
many stories about community-mind-
ed people in years past and always ad-
mired the character that compelled
them to give so much of themselves to
others. Now, however, I am beginning
to get a sense that it’s not just about
“giving back to the community”.
I would even suggest there is a
selfish element to volunteering: It’s a
great way to connect with others in
our little corner of the world. For the
simple effort of delivering a hot meal,
I now have in my life a handful of
people I otherwise would never have
met. I ask about their lives and they
ask about mine. I ask if they’re feeling
OK and they demand to know how I
am. They tell me about their children,
their day, their lives.
It’s not volunteering. It’s making
friends.

It’s that selfish element volunteers come to love
The chance to meet, get to know others they’d never otherwise come to know just too good to pass up
For two months terrorists have ruled the minds of Canadians,
but if there’s one thing you can count on it’s this: the state of
health care is never far from our hearts.
It’s not hard to understand why.
The provision of a medical system which purports to treat
rich or poor with equality is one of the fundamental and most
cherished aspects of being Canadian. Any threat that serves to
undermine that system naturally causes deep fears across this
land.
A recent Ipso-Reid poll shows a whopping 36 per cent of
Canadians consider health care the No. 1 issue facing the na-
tion, up from just 22 per cent a month ago when the threat of
terrorism was No. 1.
Here in Ontario we’re constantly reminded by our premier,
finance minister and health minister, that health-care spending
continues to rise.
Despite ongoing investment from the Province, now more
than 40 cents on every tax dollar, hospitals invariably run annu-
al deficits. Hints of two-tier medicare are never far away when
talk of spiralling costs hit the headlines. It’s enough to make any
low- or middle-income earner ill.
But what’s the solution? The mania at the provincial and fed-
eral levels for income tax reductions over the past few years
means a quick reversal and sudden tax hikes are extremely un-
likely.
The people who’ve really been getting a free ride on
medicare are the Liberals in Ottawa. When Prime Minister Jean
Chretien, Finance Minister Paul Martin and Health Minister
Allan Rock criticize their provincial counterparts for cutting
taxes instead of boosting health-care spending, they are ulti-
mately being dishonest with the voters. They are neglecting to
point out health-care funding, once a 50-50 proposition between
the feds and provinces, is now, in Ontario at least, an 85-15 deal
with the Province stuck with the vastly larger share of the bill.
The Liberals are entrenched as the reigning party in Ottawa
with no effective opposition in Parliament to counter their low-
budget medicare policies. Mr. Rock can talk a good game, but
he simply isn’t willing to pay the price. He leaves the negative
fallout for provincial governments.
Meanwhile, Canadians must wait for the Romanow federal
commission on health care, due out a year from now, to suggest
ideas. The place to start is with a renewed commitment from our
federal government to increase its share of spending on health
care. That would be an excellent remedy for an ailing system.

DURHAM –– One in three fami-
lies in North America have the Scrab-
ble habit.
Calling itself ‘America’s good
time game,’ Scrabble isn’t just about
family fun, it is also a game about
strategy, spelling, math, cheating and
bluffing, tournaments and more,
breeding fanatics not only across
North America, but also around the
world.
Abdul Khan was a Scrabble club
director in Saudi Arabia for years,
and before he moved to Whitby, he
was already e-mailing Oshawa’s
Scrabble Club so he could be part of
another club right away.
“The same month I called Trevor
Sealy (Oshawa’s club director) and
he was really happy to say, ‘OK
come on this Monday,’” said Mr.
Khan.
Mr. Sealy’s interest for Scrabble
was also sparked before he moved to
Canada from Barbados. After he
lived in Oshawa for a few years, find-
ing out there was a Scrabble club in
Oshawa was a bonus for him.
“I had a niece who was living at
the time in Massachusetts and she
was nine years old when she brought
her Scrabble game with her,”said Mr.
Sealy. “I started to play with my little
niece and maybe I’m a bit of a nerd,
but I got hooked.”
Each week about 20-35 group
members join each other in the
Woodview Community Centre to
scrabble the night away over coffee,
treats and conversation. People from
all over Durham and even from
Toronto, attend the weekly game
nights, playing in either the A group
for experts, C group for beginners, or
B groups for those in between.
“We’re addicted,” said Mr. Sealy.
“Some of our members are quite se-
rious. Some advocate 15, 20 or 30
hours a week studying the words list.
I guess it has evolved to the point
where members are using computers
to study the most probable rack.
“We have customized boards, we
have customized clocks, we have
special tiles (so players can’t cheat by
brailing which means feeling the let-
ters on the tile), some of us even have
longer racks that enable you to mix
your tiles if you’re trying to come up
with a good word and some of us
play Scrabble on the computer.”
“That’s why some of us get
hooked,” the level A Scrabble player
added. “You learn new words every-
day; it’s a questions of learning all the
strange words and trying to beat your
opponent.”
But beginners shouldn’t feel in-
timidated to join, even if they have
never played Scrabble before. New-
comers are paired with people at the
same level and given a list from Mr.
Sealy of two- and three-letter words
and unique ones such as words built
with a Q that don’t require a U.
The Oshawa Scrabble Club has
evolved since it began in the late
1970s, and some of the original
members are still in it. Janice Madill
was one of the club’s founders. She
said while reading the newspaper one
day, she noticed in ad from a man
who enjoyed Scrabble, but had no
one to play with. Mrs. Madill and her
friend Sylvia Meek responded to the
ad and found out they were not the
only ones. There was one problem -
being strangers, no one wanted to
hold the games at their house. Lucki-
ly for the club,her aunt was a chief li-
brarian who let the group use the
reading area of the library. About
eight people showed up the first night
and the Oshawa Scrabble Club was
born.
“From then on we met and then
we played,” she said. “We took turns
playing at our houses for a while and
then we got Woodview Park Club
House. At first we played in a tiny lit-
tle room in the basement and gradu-
ally got the whole upstairs which was
really nice and that’s where we play
now.”
Another member who has been
playing since the beginning is 63-
year-old Hilda Schlechter.
“I was laid up after back surgery
and I started playing at home with my
children for just something to do
other than watch TV because I could-
n’t do anything else and I really, real-
ly got to like it,” said Mrs. Schlechter.
“I just liked it so much I kept
going - I love the outing. I’m not ac-
tive in other sports, I’m limited: I
can’t play ball, it’s too much for me
or mow the lawn and heavier things,
but I have the love of words and let-
ters and I like math too where you
keep adding your scores so I think
that’s why and I just try to see how
good I can get. There’s always more
to learn. There’s always new words a
person learns and tricky words and
things like that,” she added.
When she plays Scrabble,she said
she forgets everything else. Scrabble
becomes an outlet for her to just be
herself and not worry about anything
else. She loves being part of the club
and occasionally going to tourna-
ments.
“You meet all kinds of people and
you have to learn or be gracious
enough to lose as well as win and
show sportsmanship,” said Mrs.
Schlechter. Sometimes she’ll play a
tournament and get a really good
score and other times, a really bad
one, but it doesn’t upset her to lose so
long as she tried her best.
Rookies get to play tournaments
for free. The second tournament
entry requires a National Scrabble
Membership, obtained by sending
$20 US to the National Scrabble As-
sociation in New York. As a member,
people can join any tournament and
get a Scrabble newsletter eight times
a year. The association keeps track of
each player’s score in a tournament
and those with 1,700 points are rated
experts. If an expert is playing a tour-
nament and has a much higher score
than the rest of the players, he is ex-
pected to win. If he does, he’ll get
more points toward his rating but if
he loses, his rating decreases. Mr.
Sealy has participated in the Super
Stars Tournament in Las Vegas,
which is by special invite only. The
top 50 players in North America were
invited to play in it for a grand prize
of $100,000.
“Most of us do it not to win
money - we do it for the honour,”said
Mr. Sealy.
There is even a World Scrabble
Cup tournament and the current
Champion is a Canadian named Joel
Wapnick. The next World Cup is in
December this year. National Scrab-
ble Championships are held all over
the world.
So how is Scrabble played? The
game, invented by New York archi-
tect Alfred M. Butts in 1948 is tradi-
tionally played with two or more
players.
Words are made vertically and
horizontally. Each player receives
seven letters and each letter has a
number of points listed on it. The first
player builds a word using two or
more letters (also known as tiles), an-
nounces the word and the number of
points it has earned him, then re-
ceives the same amount of letters
used in the play so there are always
seven letters on a player’s rack. The
next player builds or modifies a word
by using one or more letters and re-
ceives full points for any new or
changed word. Blank tiles can be
used as any letter, for example an N.
The blank tile remains an N for the
rest of the game.
If a player disagrees with a word
made, she can challenge it before the
next player takes her turn. The world
is then checked and, if unacceptable,
the person who made the word loses
his turn and points, but if the word is
acceptable, the person who chal-
lenged it loses her turn. The game is
over when all the letters are gone.
The player with the most accumulat-
ed points wins.
Mrs. Madill said the trick to be-
coming a better-than-average Scrab-
ble player is by learning words not
found in traditional dictionaries, such
as XI and AA.
“I think people come out and they
get intimidated and they shouldn’t,”
she said. “I think they think we’re all
too good and they don’t know these
little words we use in the Scrabble
Dictionary - a lot of them just use
Webster’s or the Oxford Dictionary.”
The first time someone attends a
Scrabble night is free. Remaining
nights are $2 for seniors and $3 for
anyone else. The fee covers coffee
and treats provided throughout the
night, as well as a fancy dinner twice
a year for all club members to attend,
and trophies for the annual tourna-
ment.
For information on becoming a
club member phone Mr. Sealy at
905-432-8828 or stop by the Wood-
view Community Centre on 151
Cadillac Ave., in Oshawa any Mon-
day between 7:30 and 11 p.m. For

In wake of terrorist
attacks, regulator
orders permanent
changes
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Stressing
there have been no “credible
threats” on local facilities and
that recently introduced measures
will become permanent, a top nu-
clear official was in Pickering
this week to discuss safety at On-
tario plants.
Linda Keen, president and
chief executive officer of the
Canadian Nuclear Safety Com-
mission, touched on security and
safety at nuclear plants in the
wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist at-
tacks on the United States during
her speech to about 50 people at
an Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade
luncheon at Regalis Restaurant
on Wednesday.
“While many new questions
have been asked following Sept.
11, we must keep in mind that
there have been no attacks on, or
credible threats made to, nuclear
facilities in Canada,” Ms. Keen
said.
“Within one hour of the at-
tacks in the United States, the
CNSC had instructed major li-
censees to implement enhanced
security measures at their facili-
ties. These new measures have
been maintained.”
On Oct. 19, the commission
also ordered a number of other
security measures at nuclear
plants.
“Licensees have treated this
order very seriously and have
been very co-operative and quick
to act,” she noted. “Our position
is that these new security mea-
sures will be maintained perma-
nently as part of a continuum of
improvement in security and
safety.”
Following her speech, Ms.
Keen said in an interview the
ability of facilities to withstand
various types of attacks is being
“looked at”. Also being consid-
ered are “air-exclusion zones and
marine exclusion zones” around
nuclear plants.
“I’m on record as saying I’m
not interested in exclusion zones
for the sake of exclusion zones.
Really what I want is something
that is protective and we’re look-
ing at that,” Ms. Keen stated.
“Every regulator around the
world, not just in the nuclear
business, based its threat assess-
ment on an accident, an accident
happening and not on issues to do
with, say, a suicidal terrorist at-
tack. We are rethinking (security
measures and risk assessment)
and that’s judicious and Canadi-
ans would expect us to do it.”
However, Dave Martin of the
Sierra Club of Canada Nuclear
Campaign, who also attended the
event, summed those comments
up in an interview as being “too
little, too late. Their response is
directed, at this point, exclusively
to a ground-based attack. They
really haven’t come to grips with
the threat of an airborne suicide
attack by jumbo jet.”
He added nuclear facilities in
Ontario provide a more oppor-
tune target for terrorists than the
U.S.
“Pickering, with its proximity
to several million people, is a ter-
rorist’s dream come true,” he
said.
The buildings around nuclear
reactors have to be “hardened by
pouring more concrete,” he con-
tinued, noting ancillary buildings
should also be reinforced.
“We know they can’t with-
stand the impact of a jumbo jet.”
An anti-aircraft defence sys-
tem, with ground-based missiles,
is needed, he added.
“A no-fly zone does nothing.
We can’t get a CF-18 from Tren-
ton to Darlington or Pickering in
time to divert or bring down an
attack,” he said.
He pointed to France having
installed radar and air defences
around one of its reactors.
Ms. Keen said in terms of mis-
siles, “nothing has been ruled out
and nothing will be ruled out, per
se. If you look at why France put
in the missiles, they have nuclear
weapons and plutonium on their
site. Neither of these conditions
exists in Canada at nuclear facili-
ties we’re talking about.
During a question-and-answer
period, Ms. Keen said, “There’s a
move afoot to look at hardening
of facilities. Not just to look at
possible terrorist attacks, but to
make them as secure as possible.”

Drink responsibly this holiday season: Durham health department
DURHAM ––Responsible holi-
day party hosting and toasting is the
focus of a Durham Region Health
Department campaign currently un-
derway.
The Celebrate in the Right Spirit
Campaign is a year-round health de-
partment initiative. As part of the
campaign, the department is part-
nering with M&M Meat Shops
across Durham Region, Pickering
Town Centre and Ocala Orchards,
to provide information aimed at re-
inforcing the importance of person-
al responsibilities around both serv-
ing and consuming alcohol.
A recent health department sur-
vey indicates one-fifth of Durham
residents wrongfully believe they
can have two or more drinks in the
hour before driving and still be a
safe driver.
“With every additional drink, the
risk of motor vehicle collisions in-
creases,” says Heather Tucker, a
public health nurse with the health
department.
Hosts and property owners are
also often unaware of their legal re-
sponsibility when hosting a party.
“The goal of this campaign is to
help people understand they may be
held responsible for injuries or dam-
ages that occur as a result of the al-
cohol they provide on their property,
or at a function that they are respon-
sible for,” says Dr. Donna Reynolds,
Durham’s associate medical officer
of health.
Under the Ontario Liquor Li-
cence Act, hosts or homeowners are
responsible for the safety and be-
haviour of their guests until they are

Make Winter Vacations Enjoyable by Practicing Sun Safety
If you plan on going south this winter,
Durham Region Health Department urges
you to avoid having the sun burn your
vacation by taking precautions to protect
you and your family from ultraviolet radia-
tion (UVR).
According to reports from Health
Canada, overexposure to UVR is one of the
main causes of skin cancer. Other health
risks associated with UVR include sun-
burns, premature aging of the skin and
cataracts.
“It’s important for vacationers to
remember that the closer you are to the
equator, the greater the intensity of ultravi-
olet rays from the sun,” explains Stephanie
Wilms, a public health nurse with the
Durham Region Health Department.
“whenever possible, avoid the midday sun
or at least find some shade.”
To ensure a sun-safe trip, the Health
Department recommends that you pack
your suitcase with sun-safe items including
a hat with a three-inch brim, sunglasses,
loose fitting long sleeve shirts and pants,
and sunscreen and lip balm that offer pro-
tection of SPF 15 or higher.
While some vacationers may begin
their trip with a base tan from a tanning
salon, it’s a common misunderstanding that
this will protect your skin and prevent you
from getting sunburn. In fact, Health
Canada warns that tanning salon lights
may give off five times as much UVA as the
sun.
“Research has shown that there’s no
safe way to tan,” notes Wilms, “however, if
a person still desires a tanned look, they
can apply self-tanning products available
at many cosmetics and drug stores. Our
goal is to help people celebrate sunshine
safely while enjoying their vacation.”
For more information on sun safety,
please call Durham Region Health
Department at (905) 723-8521 or 1 - 800-
841-2729 ext. 2185. Information may be
obtained online at www.region.durham.on.ca

ADVERTISING FEATURE
Dear Readers:Every so often I come
across some information that I know will
be of interest to most everyone, whether
they currently have foot problems or not,
yet no one would even think to ask. For
example when you buy a new pair of
shoes, how do you lace them? Do you take
into account your foot shape, arch height,
flexibility, tendency for heel slippage or
blackened toe nails? Probably not, because
our mothers taught us how to lace a shoe
in one particular way (the conventional
crisscross to the top of the show tech-
nique) and we have not varied from it.
And for the most of us this will continue to
work well. Beginning at the bottom of the
shoe and pull the laces one set of eyelets at
a time to tighten. This will distribute stress
evenly across the eyelets and therefore
across the top of the foot and allow for a
more comfortable fit.
However, for those who do have
specific gait problems or who have feet
that are not average shaped, here are a few
lace alternatives to the standard that may
help keep you tied to be fit.
Did you ever wonder why your
new shoes seem to have extra eyelets?
Even manufacturers have designed their
shoes to allow for custom lacing. The
wider placed eyelets allow for laces to be
pulled in more tightly and are therefore
used for narrower feet, while the narrow-
er placed eyelets allow for more girth and
are more suitable for wider feet.(Picture A
& B)
The following pattern of
lacing is ideal for those with a
bony prominence on the top of
their foot as it minimizes pres-
sure. You begin in the conven-
tional manner until you
approach the problem area.
The lacing again continues in
the conventional way until
you approach the problem
area. The lacing continues in
the conventional way until the
top of the shoe.(Picture C)
To prevent heel slippage
a conventional pattern of lac-
ing is done until the last eyelet.
By looping the end of each lace
and using the loop as an eye-
let, a more secure fit around
the heel can be
obtained.(Picture D)
A square box pattern of
lacing is used for those with
high arched rigid feet or again
for those with a boney bump
on the top of their foot. In this
method the lace never crosses
over the tongue, but passes
under each eyelet. This
method eases pressure across
the top of the foot.(Picture E)
If you are a runner who
is prone to blackened toe nails
or pressure at the front of the
foot, a single lace cross-over
may help. begin with the end
of one lace much shorter than
the other. Place it in the upper
most inside eyelet and run it to
the lowest most diagonally
opposite eyelet. Then begin
lacing from inside to side
through the remaining eyelets.
This pattern pulls the toe box
of the show up, relieving pressure on the
toes.(Picture F)
For a custom fit, an independent
method of using two different laces may
be employed. This may work well for
people with a wider forefoot, for those
whose foot is two different
widths.(Picture G)

Education funding cuts possible as Province seeks savings
BY JENNIFER STONE
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Speculation that
education spending may be on the
Province’s chopping block in an ef-
fort to avoid a deficit has some local
educators concerned about area stu-
dents.
“Kids don’t have textbooks in
classes,” says Dan Fewings, vice-
president of the local branch of the
Ontario Secondary School Teachers’
Federation. “I think we’re close to the
breaking point now in terms of what
kids have right now resource-wise
and what’s available in the class-
room.”
Reports this week from Queen’s
Park indicate the Province is on a
massive savings-finding expedition in
an effort to avoid a deficit and deal
with the slowing economy. Some re-
ports indicate each ministry –– in-
cluding, possibly, education –– has
been ordered to find savings of up to
five per cent of their total budgets to
avoid a deficit for the 2002-2003 fis-
cal year.
Provincial management board
chairman David Tsubouchi said Mon-
day the Province will look at selling
assets, cutting program spending, and
possibly attempting to boost revenue
by privatizing some services.
The 2002-2003 fiscal year looks
“very tight,” says Durham MPP John
O’Toole, who is part of a group of
four MPPs charged with bringing for-
ward suggestions to help the Province
save money. No stone should remain
unturned in an effort to do so, he says.
“To be saying anything is sacred
isn’t the right message,” says Mr. O’-
Toole, parliamentary assistant to fi-
nance minister Jim Flaherty. “If
there’s any way to save taxes without
affecting quality, that should be
looked at.”
There will “always be a demand
for more money in health and educa-
tion,” notes the MPP.
“To sort out what is absolutely
needed from what’s nice to have is
what this exercise is all about.”
While local public school board
chairman Bob Willsher says talk of
budget restraint doesn’t surprise him
under current economic circum-
stances, he adds the public may not
be receptive to the possibility of
classroom spending cuts.
“I’m not surprised that we’re head-
ed down this path, given the fine bal-
ancing act of the Provincial budget
and the risk of (economic) downturn
upsetting that fine balance,” says the
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School
Board chairman. “But I think they’ve
(the Province) heard that certainly
parents are not happy with the level
of support education is receiving
now.”
Such cuts aren’t popular, agrees
Mr. Fewings.
“Conservative popularity in the
polls shows where their politics of
cuts have got them,” he notes.
Further cuts “certainly would be a
major difficulty for our board
right now,” says Mr. Willsher, a
Clarington trustee. The public
school board is already in the
midst of a massive expense-trim-
ming plan aimed at paying off its
approximately $6 million accu-
mulated deficit.
But, there may be room to
make some cuts in order to help
the Province avoid a deficit, con-
tends Joe Neal, a Clarington
trustee with the Peterborough
Victoria Northumberland and
Clarington Catholic District
School Board.
“I’m not generally in favour
of running a large deficit, so if
that means we have to be a little
more frugal with the money we
get, I don’t have a tremendous
amount of difficulty with that,”
he says.
“I think we could find some
savings in some areas, though I
don’t think anybody’s enthusias-
tic about that.”
Education cuts may not make
a huge difference in terms of the
provincial big picture though,
Mr. Neal notes.
“All areas are really dwarfed
by health spending,” he says.
“They can cut education some-
what but it’s not going to make a
difference if health spending
keeps spiralling up.”

Results of test
on Whitby student
expected back soon
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s
health department expects to
know within days what
strain of meningococcal
meningitis a 14-year-old
Whitby student has contract-
ed.
And depending on the in-
formation, that might lead to
the vaccination of staff and
students at the student’s
school.
Dr. Donna Reynolds,
Durham Region’s associate
medical officer of health,
said it is important to find
out if the strain is the same
one that a second Anderson
Collegiate and Vocational
Institute contracted in late
October.
That 16-year-old student
recovered after antibiotic
treatment and is back in
school. The 14-year-old was
identified Monday and is
also being treated with an-
tibiotics.
“The concern of having a
second one, if it is the same
strain, is, is the bacteria cir-
culating in the school and is
it a more virulent strain?”
said Dr. Reynolds.
She said vaccination
“will be looked at once we
identify the strain, and a de-
cision will be made in con-
junction with the Ministry of
Health.”
“Serogroup C is the
strain that is usually respon-
sible for outbreaks that we
see within schools and com-
munities,” said Dr.
Reynolds.
A new vaccine specific
for that strain was released
in June, she said, noting the
vaccine will render an indi-
vidual immune to the strain
for a lengthy period of time.
The other available vaccine
covers four strains, but has a
much shorter immunity time
frame.
Antibiotics are effective
treatment for all strains, but
Dr. Reynolds said vaccines
are not at all effective for
serogroup B strains.
Dr. Reynolds said the
ministry told her there have
been seven serogroup B
cases in Ontario this year,
including one in Durham
this summer. That person re-
covered and the source was
likely in Quebec, said Dr.
Reynolds. There have also
been two serogroup C cases.
Health Canada’s Win-
nipeg lab is undertaking spe-
cialized test to identify the
strain in the most recent
case. Dr. Reynolds empha-
sized meningitis is “not very
transmissible” and in a press
release stated “the bacteria
that cause this form of
meningitis are spread
through direct contact with
secretions from the nose and
throat.”
She said the sharing of
food, beverages and kissing
most commonly spreads the
bacteria.
“Even if you acquire the
bacteria, it is very rare to get
the disease,” said Dr.
Reynolds.
Meningococcal meningi-
tis can be serious, leading to
death in about 10 per cent of
cases, she said, noting the
Durham Region Health De-
partment launches an inves-
tigation as soon as it learns
of a suspected case. Those
identified as “close con-
tacts” of carriers, including
family members, are treated
with antibiotics.
“We’re just waiting to
hear back from public health
at this point in time,” said
Andrea Pidwerbecki, the
Durham District School
Board’s communications
manager.
She said health depart-
ment letters went home with
all Anderson students on ei-
ther Monday or Tuesday, de-
pending on a student’s
schedule. In the case of the
first infected student, letters
went home with classmates.
Dr. Reynolds said 10 to
15 per cent of people carry
in the back of their throat the
bacteria that cause meningi-
tis. But it’s unclear why less
than one per cent of those
people will develop menin-
gitis.
There are usually four to
eight cases of meningitis a
year in Durham.
The health department
has set up a meningitis in-
formation line for residents.

pointment.
Here are some general teacher com-
ments and insights into their possible deeper

(A) TEACHER COMMENTS
Your child is working to his greatest
potential.
THEIR MEANING.
Your child is probably doing his very
best at this level.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
What is my child’s actual potential? Is
he/she working at it? How do you know?
How do you measure it?
(B)TEACHER COMMENTS
Cathy is a delight in class! More atten-
tion to neat work could earn her higher
marks.
THEIR MEANING
Cathy is not making sure her assign-
ments are neat and organized. She does the
work quickly just to get it done on time.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
May I see examples of her assign-
ments? Is she required to recopy messy
assignments?

What do you think Osama bin
Laden is doing while he’s being
bombed by US planes in
Afghanistan? I have no idea. But
I’d bet most of what I own that
he’s not hiding in a cave taking
antidepressants.
I’m equally sure the people we
see night after night wandering
the roads of Afghanistan are also
not on this medication. And nei-
ther they nor bin Laden are wet-
ting their pants. So how tough is
the psyche of North Americans
since Sept. 11?
It depends on who you listen
to. New Yorkers and their heroic
firefighters say they will not be
beaten by terrorism, an admirable
attitude.
But recent reports show that
far too many North Americans
are burying their psyches in the
sand.
Rather than using the ‘Old
Frontier’ toughness to fight ter-
rorism they’re
doing what so
many have
learned to do so
best in our soci-
ety –– take pills.
In this case,
since the twin-
tower disaster
it’s been more
pills. A US sur-
vey shows that
prescriptions for
anti-anxiety
drugs and sleep-
ing pills are up
25 per cent in
New York, 13
per cent in Wash-
ington and 9 per
cent across the
U.S.
This is no so-
lution if North
Americans are
going to beat ter-
rorists who in-
tend to destroy
us one way or
another. The in-
crease in this
medication
shows they’ve
partially accom-
plished their
goal. If we don’t
watch out they’ll
soon have us all
cowering like
imbeciles wait-
ing for the next
round of terror.
Let’s face it
we are no longer
a tough society
and we’d better
admit we have a
problem. I’ve
been witnessing
this trend in my
office for years.
Only the occa-
sional patient
says, “I’d prefer
to put up with
the pain or the worry than take
medication.”
Rather most patients want an
easy out. Pills for minor aches.
Pills to sleep. Pills, pills, pills
for everything under the sun. And
this starts at an early age.
A report in the Journal of the
Canadian Medical Association
states last year more than one
million prescriptions for ADHD
(attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder) drugs were given to
Canadians. Most of them were
children.
Christiane Poulin, an associate
professor in the Department of
Community Health at Dalhousie
University, reports 5.3 per cent of
students in grades 7-12 are taking
Ritalin and other drugs.
I’d bet the rest of what I own
that they don’t need pills in
Afghanistan to make children sit
still and learn their ABC’s.
And I refuse to believe so
many children in the US and
Canada require Ritalin in order to
perform in school. It doesn’t take
a genius to see what would hap-
pen if these Ritalin children had
to face the hardened teens in bin
Laden’s camp. Ours would be
torn apart limb by limb.
No one doubts that the US is
the greatest military power in the
world. But pill-popping kids
grow to be pill-popping adults,
not the kind that will win the psy-
chological war against the likes
of bin Laden.
I’m tired of brave statements
bin Laden isn’t going to make us
wet our pants. The hell he isn’t.
He’s made too many people wet
them already.
Recently a concert I planned to
attend was cancelled. The US
performer was afraid to fly from
New York to Canada. What a ter-
rible message to send everyone.
How many Canadians are wet-
ting their pants? Just ask any trav-
el agent how many people have
cancelled flights when arguably
there’s never been a safer time to
fly. Some of my patients have
cancelled cruises.
Others have put off a driving
trip to the U.S. or even to destina-
tions in Canada. So let’s stop kid-
ding ourselves we’re tough and
going about our business as
usual.
To be sure these are difficult
times but let’s put them into
focus. It’s a horrendous tragedy
that so many died needlessly in
New York. And that others have
died from Anthrax.
But remember every day over
1,000 people die from cancer in
North America. Many others suc-
cumb to other diseases or die in
car accidents. This isn’t the time
to cop out with anti-depressants.
Rather, it’s time to rekindle that
old frontier toughness that made
our nations great.
To beat Osama bin Laden
we’ll need to harden ourselves
psychologically. So let’s stop
wetting our pants, swallowing
anti-depressants and being fearful
of travel as we approach 2002.

WHITBY ––Father Leo J. Austin Wildcats’ Kelly La-
fontaine races to the basket past Pine Ridge Pumas’ de-
fender Alisa Wulff during the Lake Ontario Secondary
School Athletics senior girls’ basketball final at Austin
Wednesday. Pine Ridge lost 80-62.
Entire girls’basketball
team should be back
for 2002
PICKERING —Playing the top-
ranked Father Leo J. Austin Catholic
Secondary School Wildcats on their
home basketball court in front of a
partisan crowd was tough enough for
the Pine Ridge Secondary School
Pumas.
But, then add in the fact Pine
Ridge is an upstart program, which
lay dormant for three years, going up
against a Wildcats senior girls’ team
that has persevered through the edu-
cation turmoil that hamstrung sports
in Durham the past few seasons.
All this came crashing down on
the Pumas in the Lake Ontario Sec-
ondary School Athletics (LOSSA)
senior girls’basketball final Wednes-
day.
Despite all this, the Pumas gave it
everything they had in an 80-62 loss
to the Wildcats. And, that was more
than enough to satisfy Pine Ridge
coach Cam Nekkers.
“The best thing we had going for
us was effort,” he said. “They had a
bit more experience than us. They
probably played 20 more games
throughout the year.
“They deserved to win. They’re a
good ball team and they played a
good game.”
The game, said Nekkers, was
closer than the score would indicate.
The difference in the final quarter
was the Wildcats’ shooting from the
free-throw stripe, which was an un-
canny 90 per cent.
Throughout the contest, the Wild-
cats used a full-court press to good
advantage, which kept the Pumas off
balance, not to mention wearing
them down in the final analysis.
“We haven’t played a team that
presses as much as Austin,” said
Nekkers.
Provincial and national-level
player Alisa Wulff led the Pumas
with a 25-point effort in the final.
Tabia Charles added 14.
To get to the finals, the Pumas
downed Oshawa’s Paul Dwyer Saints
63-48 in the semifinals. Carlene
Siopis led Pine Ridge with 26 points.
In the quarter-finals, the Pumas
downed the O’Neill Collegiate Red-
men.
The silver lining in the defeat is
the entire Pine Ridge team will return
next year, said Nekkers. Three of the
team’s current starters all tower at or
above six-feet, Wulff and Sara Mas-
terton (6-foot-1) and Charles (6-
feet).
“We’ll be a bit better next year,
I’m sure,” said Nekkers, who’ll also
coach the senior boys’ basketball
team at Pine Ridge.
In the junior games, Oshawa’s
McLaughlin fought back from a 38-
28 deficit through three quarters for a
47-45 win over Ajax High School in
the ‘AAA’ girls’ final.
Kate Weiss of Ajax was the top
shooter with 20 points.

Select edges Bank of
Montreal, East Side
devours Caesar’s
AJAX —For the second week in
a row, Select Food Products snatched
victory in the dying moments of their
game during Ajax Ladies Basketball
League action.
This time, the Select victimized
the Bank of Montreal with a buzzer
beater last weekend to upend the
bankers 24-23 in a defensive battle.
The Bank of Montreal had a point
advantage for much of the game but
lost possession with little time re-
maining on the clock. Select then
scored at the buzzer.
Portia Vidal scored six points for
Select and Lana Letourneau replied
with seven for the bankers.
The closing game between East
Side Marios and Et Tu Caesar’s was
a different story. Caesar’s was miss-
ing key players and East Side
Mario’s took advantage to run up a
50-21 victory.
East Side intercepted many passes
and turned them into a fast break to
win the game by a comfortable mar-
gin.
Engrid Carmichael Johnson
scored 15 points for East Side, while
Cindy Miles had six for Caesar’s.

The family of
Marlene Burgess
who passed away on October 7, 2001
Would like to thank family, friends, neigh-
bours and co-workers for visits, calls, flow-
ers, cards, food and gifts that you were
thoughtful enough to send.
Thank you for the care given to Marlene
by Doctors A. Gove and D. Waller, and the
doctors and staff at Lakeridge Health -
Oshawa; Durham Access to Care and the
dedicated professional support services of
Paramed Health Services, Community Ad-
vantage Rehabilitation, Hospice Durham,
Home Relief and Firstat Nursing Services;
Doctors N. Cashman, A. Newall and John
Edmeades & staff at Sunnybrook Hospital's
A.L.S. Clinic.
Thanks also to Marion Irwin and A.L.S.
Ontario and Durham Chapters; Marlene's
Team at the Walk to D'Feet A.L.S. in
Ajax.
Rev. Doug Snell for his many visits and
comforting funeral service, Ministry of
Correctional Services Honour Guard and
the Belleville General Hospital Class of 67
Nurses and the Oshawa Funeral Service
staff for excellence in serving our needs.
So many people gave above and beyond
the call of duty that it would be impossible
to name them all. Your thoughtfulness and
support during this difficult time was very
much appreciated by Marlene and our
family.
Bill, Todd and Joel
❦STELL, NELLIE JAN ❦
In loving memory of a wonderful
Wife, mother and grandmother
Who passed away on November 27, 1999.
God saw she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her
and whispered, "Come with me."
With tear-filled eyes we watched her
suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply,
we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
One night I dreamt I was walking
along the beach with the Lord
Many scenes from my life
flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed
footprints in the sand
Sometimes there were
two sets of footprints,
other times there was only one.
This bothered me because I noted that
during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
'You promised me Lord,
that if I followed You,
You would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most
trying periods of my life, there has been
only one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed You most,
have You not been there?'
The Lord replied,
'The times when you have seen
only one set of footprints my child,
is when I carried you.'
Lovingly remembered,❤
Bruce, David and Danielle,
Tracy and Justin, Chloe and Isaac.
