Although crime in the rural municipalities of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge - the zone covered by the Durham Regional Police Nor th Durham Community Of- fice - increased only slightly by 0.3 per cent in 2002, that statis- tic hardly tells the whole the story, a report prepared by the force shows.

Hospital staff copes Ajax officials work to deliver latest SARS information BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ––––An empty visitor park- ing lot, caution signs taped to front doors, masks and hand sterilizers a must upon entry -- this is what SARS looks like at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. As of Friday, the Ajax hospital reported three probable and two suspected cases of sudden acute respiratory syndrome, while its twin site in Scarborough report- ed another five probable and six suspected cases. Like most hospitals across the Greater Toronto Area, Rouge Valley is on Code Orange, an alert signifying an event beyond its resources to handle. With fear spreading fast, local health officials say they want to get as much information about SARS out to the public as possi- ble. "While our elective procedures and outpatient services are can- celled, our emergency depart- ment is still open," said Rouge Valley spokesman Katie Cronin- Wood. "So if you need any emergency care, do not hesitate to come to the hospital." Anyone concerned about SARS should go to a SARS clin- ic set up at Lakeridge Health Oshawa or call the Telehealth Ontario free phone service, which will notify Rouge Valley of your arrival ahead of time if re- ferred. "We're very fortunate here at Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering be- cause we've been able to create a separate SARS assessment area," Ms. Cronin-Wood ex- plained.

Parents eye protest against work-to-rule actions BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Durham parents and students are striking back. Fed up with the ongoing work- to-rule action in public elemen- tary schools, they plan to picket in front of schools in Oshawa and Whitby Monday. Rebecca Gordon, whose two children attend Bellwood Public School in Whitby, is organizing the protest there and said stu- dents and parents from other schools might take part as well. She said her kids have had enough of the labour action. "My kids have been whining and complaining and saying, ba- sically, 'what can I do'?" she said. "They come home perpetually feeling frustrated. Finally, I said to them, 'do something'." Ms. Gordon, who has been in contact with parents at other schools to gather more support, estimated 170 students plan to picket in front of Bellwood on Monday morning before school. They will be holding signs and chanting, "We don't have to go to school until you stop the work to rule," she said. Her children, in Grade 6 and 8, won't be returning to class until the work-to-rule is over. She's encouraging other parents to make the same decision. Elementary teachers have been working-to-rule for over two months, resulting in a with- drawal of teacher involvement in sports and clubs and limited time for extra help from teach- ers. Jodi Hatch, a parent of three kids at College Hill Public School in Oshawa, hopes to have enough parental support to stage a protest there as well. "Enough is enough; settle this now," she said. "I'm tired of my kids being used as pawns." Ms. Hatch agreed that the final straw for her and other par- ents has been the arrival home of report cards -- most of which contain only a one- or two-line comment for kindergarten stu- dents. Elementary report cards for older students have marks, but no comments. She planned to hand out pam- phlets Friday to garner support for a protest. School councils are not involved in the planned protests. Ms. Gordon said the applica- tion of the work-to-rule has been inconsistent at the school level. At Bellwood, she said, no activi- ties are taking place, while other schools have not been as affect- ed. The leader of Durham's 2,400 elementary teachers said if that's the case, it's because prin- cipals and parents are stepping in to pick up the slack. "That's really up to the princi- pal, isn't it," said Rachel Gencey, local president of the Elemen- tary Teachers' Federation of On- tario. "No school should have ex- tracurriculars going on run by teachers." In a few cases, she said, there was a "misunderstanding" re- garding teacher involvement in, for example, book fairs. Howev- er, as far as Ms. Gencey knows, teachers are following the strike protocol. Meanwhile, teachers are also bringing politics into the classroom, Ms. Gordon claims, noting she has heard of students being harassed for questioning the work-to-rule. The union has been very clear to its members that while they can answer a student's question about why the labour action is happening, politics should be kept out of it, said Ms. Gencey. She termed it "highly unlikely" students have been picked on by teachers. Ms. Gencey said while she un- derstands the frustration of par- ents and students, the protest should be directed at the Durham District School Board. "Take it the board," she said. "The principal and teachers have no power. Go to the board. (Teachers) are doing what they're supposed to do, and that's the bottom line." Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board and a Whitby trustee, said the planned pickets are "news to me". She plans to speak with principals and superinten- dents to learn more so the board can be "proactive.” "Yes, the kids are frustrated. I know they are frustrated. I know the teachers are too."

Peter Tumey, president of the Durham unit of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF), said 90 per cent of teachers who took part in the in-school vote favoured strike action. There are roughly 1,400 OSSTF members teaching in Durham, and he said, "the overwhelming majority took part" in the vote. He said the parties have been negotiat- ing since last June, and in recent months have been working toward a one-year in- terim deal. Mr. Tumey said, "It was a bit of a shock to us" when the board early last month said it wanted a two-year deal. "I thought it was a bad decision on their part and a surprise to us at the table," he said. Mr. Tumey said the intent had been to reach a one-year deal and continue bargaining for a second year. That would give both sides time to see what the Province was offering teachers in terms of a raise for the next school year. Sally McIlveen, the Durham District School Board's employee relations super- intendent, said the board's position is that a one-year deal would basically ex- pire in a few months and the two sides would be at the table again. As well, the education grant announcements for the next school year are expected soon. She said a two-year agreement would be "much more favourable to all con- cerned, teachers, students and the board." Both sides have a willingness to bar- gain, Ms. McIlveen believes. If talks on Friday were going well she said the board was willing "to go as long as it takes" to get closer to a deal, possibly into the weekend. Mr. Tumey predicted Friday's negotia- tions would not last long if the board planned to offer a wage reopener for the second year, meaning the two sides would negotiate a second-year salary after reaching an agreement. "It will end fast and we'll be looking to (April 14, the next day scheduled for talks) and we'll have a conciliator with us," said Mr. Tumey. He said that would lead to a no board report, meaning the sides cannot reach an agreement, and the countdown to labour action would begin. Secondary teachers vote in favour of strike mandate overall crime increase of 16.6 per cent, while earning the distinction of being the region's murder capital in 2002. All three homicides in Durham Region last year (down from four in 2001) occurred in the northern communities, but more startling is a whopping 46 per cent rise in the num- ber of violent crimes the past five years in 26 Divi- sion. In stark contrast is the region's overall crime rate - property and violent of- fences combined - which has fallen 1.6 per cent since 1998, according to the planning unit report, submitted to the Police Services Board Tuesday. Clearly, North Durham is bucking the recent crime trend. But why? Superintendent of Crime Management Jim Lockwood attributed the dramatic jump in North Durham crime to a grow- ing population and a 40- per cent increase in the number of front-line offi- cers now patrolling 26 Di- vision. "I hesitate to say crime is actually up," he said, sug- gesting simply that more offences are being detect- ed by police and reported by local residents. The report also cites the opening of a casino in Port Perry in 1997, "demograph- ics, economic factors and changing attitudes" as in- f luences in the north, and suggests the regional in- crease is consistent with population growth. Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt, vice-chairman of the police services board, said he isn't alarmed by the numbers, but added they warrant a closer re- view. "I think it's a trend that needs to be looked at, but it's not a disturbing trend to me," he said. Ajax and Pickering, cov- ered by the 19 Division pa- trol zone, combined for a 24 per cent increase in vio- lent crime over the past five years. In Clarington the rate jumped 21 per cent, while Oshawa (11 per cent) and Whitby (13 per cent) have experienced lesser in- creases. Police Chief Kevin McAlpine said the 6.5 per cent decrease in violent of- fences last year is "good news. It means there were less victims out there." However, he said the "bad news" is police were busier than ever, noting calls for service climbed 7.5 per cent to 166,369, up from 154,806 in 2001. In every major category, with one exception, crimes against persons in Durham fell in 2002, in- cluding sexual assaults by 13.8 per cent (570 com- pared to 661) and assaults by 6.4 per cent (3,195 down from 3,412). Robberies, which shot up 11 per cent, were the lone exception. Supt. Lockwood blamed the increase, 420 holdups compared to 378, on "street-level robberies" in Ajax and Pickering, which continue to pose a serious problem. There were 204 rob- beries in Ajax-Pickering - a 21.4 per cent jump locally from the year before - ac- counting for almost half of the region's heists. The number of drug in- cidents soared 37.1 per cent, as a result of the po- lice war on residential marijuana grow labs and operations targeting crack dealers. Overall, property crime in Durham was down a fraction, 0.6 per cent, with the highlight being a 17- per cent drop in the num- ber of auto thefts. Other stats of police concern are a 24.7-per cent increase in weapons inci- dents, a 4 per cent rise in residential break-and-en- ters, and 21 per cent climb in commercial burglaries. Frauds were also up by 26 per cent last year.

Rouge Valley has con- verted the fourth floor of the west tower, formerly the child health unit, into a SARS assessment and treatment area. Child pa- tients are now bunking in the maternal newborn de- partment. "That's a totally sepa- rate area of the hospital," Ms. Cronin-Wood, said of the new unit. "There's a separate elevator they take up to that floor. They've adjusted the air flow up on that floor so that the whole thing is ventilated separately, even the hallways." Movement within the hospital itself has tight- ened up, she said. Visitors are restricted to one per- son per mother in labour, and to families of critically ill and pediatric patients. All visitors are screened and given masks and hand sanitizers upon entry. Even the gift shop and cafeteria are closed -- the gift shop because all vol- unteers and students have been sent home, the cafe- teria because it is on the same floor as the SARS unit. While a "handful" of staff has been quarantined be- cause they were in contact with a suspected SARS patient, most of them are holding up well under the ongoing stress, said Ms. Cronin-Wood. Any preg- nant workers are being monitored, just in case. SARS is still very much a "day-to-day" prognosis, with Rouge Valley man- agers meeting daily to dis- cuss strategy and plan- ning between the two sites, Ms. Cronin-Wood said.

That's been the effect of several months of work-to-rule action by hundreds of elementary teachers over the last few months. The purpose of the move is to put pressure on the school board to cave in and meet the teachers' contract demands. But the only thing the action has achieved is to make many students and parents miserable. The frustration has reached such a point, now parents and students are taking matters into their own hands. Monday, at Bellwood Public School in Whitby, parent Rebec- ca Gordon and her two children, in Grade 6 and 8, are going on strike in front of the school to protest work to rule. "My kids have been whining and complaining and saying, basically, 'What can I do?' They come home perpetually feeling frustrated. Fi- nally, I said to them, 'Do something’." That something could include as many as 170 students hold- ing signs saying, 'We don't have to go to school until you stop the work to rule.' The work to rule has involved withdrawal of teacher involve- ment in sports and clubs and limited time for extra help from teachers. Lately, it has included report cards with little com- ment and guidance from teachers. All of this has to stop. The teachers and the board must cut a deal soon to eliminate this poisonous atmosphere and bring back the full experience students deserve from their school careers. Nearly two months ago, we advocated teachers and the board sit down and resume bargaining and find common ground. Nothing that has happened since that time has changed the sit- uation for the better. Both sides still appear far apart on key is- sues and the only ones who suffer in the end are the students. The impasse can be breached. To teachers, we suggest accept 145 minutes and a three per cent increase. To the Durham Dis- trict School Board, we say do something about benefits. At 80 per cent paid, Durham teachers lag behind almost every board in the province where the standard is benefits paid at a 100-per cent rate. The board has offered to pay 85 per cent - it must do better. Negotiators are about to sit down and we demand they find a swift resolution to this dispute which has stretched out far too long already. Both sides must give a little so students can get what they deserve: a proper, full education. Hospital salaries leave writer rethinking generosity TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Durham's $100,000 club,' April 2. Recently my wife and I received a very nice letter from the Rouge Valley Health System politely asking us for $25, $50, $75 or even $100 towards keep- ing the hospital going. At the same time I must admit I was concerned Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was disputing the fact the hospital should be funded by the local authori- ties. Then when I saw the salaries being paid to various members of Rouge Val- ley, I also remembered the 'buy-a-brick' campaign to get the much-needed ad- ditions built onto the Ajax and Picker- ing hospital. Of course most of these new sections of the hospital have never been fully uti- lized due to this ongoing problem with funding. I feel that although they may be very nice people and do their jobs to the best of their ability, perhaps a bit of pruning down of the higher-paid em- ployees might just help. Seems to me they have far too many overpaid generals and not enough ground troops to keep these facilities running at maximum power. Mayor Parish obviously has a very good point about this establishment and certainly this should be looked into. If you have visited the Ajax hospital recently you'd wonder what on earth these 'managers' are managing. As for the school board salaries, well that's yet another incentive to work in the public sector.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Tune in to tune out all the bad news of late W ith the crummy weather outside, concerns about SARS, and war news com- ing at us everywhere we turn, why not take a break tonight? The Juno Awards will bring a much-needed diversion into Durham Region homes, Sunday, April 6, as the best in the Canadi- an music industry are celebrated. Hosted by none other than Sha- nia Twain, the stars will be out in force, 'live' from the Corel Centre in Kanata, just west of Ottawa. Up for some of the awards are the likes of Blue Rodeo, direct from their Oshawa appearance - Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Our Lady Peace, Swollen Members, Remy Shand and up-and-comer Sam Roberts. Like any awards show, it's about honouring all the nomi- nees, hearing the ones in atten- dance perform and seeing how they're holding up. (At my age, those who've been around 20 years or so and who are still going strong always make me feel good). Tom Cochrane, for exam- ple, will be inducted into the Juno's Hall of Fame during the show. I don't really care what award presenters like Alanis Morissette, Molly Johnson or Sarah Slean wear tonight or too much about whether or not anybody uses the venue to make a political state- ment. Although I guess one could forgive a group with a name like Our Lady Peace for spouting off. I tune in because I like the music. And what a wealth of genres there are in this country: pop, rock, folk, rap, classical, country and jazz. It's all here, brought to us by our very own homegrown talent. Just think of the past nomi- nees, artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, Gordon Light- foot and Oscar Peterson. Anne Murray has won 24 Junos during her career and l' Orchestre Sym- phonique de Montréal has taken home 12. Tonight's show is the 32nd year of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences awards that began in 1970. Will Blue Rodeo's 'Bulletproof' win over Celine Dion's 'A New Day Has Come,' or 'Somewhere Out There' by Our Lady Peace? Can anyone beat out Sam Roberts's 'Brother Down?' As the little girl from down the road in Napanee might say, It's 'Complicated.' And a nice way to spend a couple of hours away from all our worries.

The ongoing work-to-rule ac- tion by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Durham unit means teachers are not completing report cards: Grade 1 to 8 students are receiv- ing marks, but no comments, while kindergarten report cards include only a one- or two-line re- mark. Oshawa parent Johnny Matu- siak, whose five-year-old son, Tyson, is a junior kindergarten student at Hillsdale Public School, said report cards are a part of a teacher’s job and should not be included in the labour ac- tion. He said he’s very involved in his son’s education and the lack of input means he doesn’t know where help is needed. “I can’t even phone the teacher,” said Mr. Matusiak. “They’re not granting interviews to parents. And if they are, they are over the phone and very brief. Ridiculous.” He added his beef is not with teachers but with the union. “Teachers are passionate about what they do, that’s why they become teachers,” said Mr. Matusiak. “The union is the one intimidating their teachers.” Rachel Gencey, ETFO Durham unit president, respond- ed there is no intimidation. As for a teacher violating the strike protocol, she said, “the punish- ment fits the crime”. A serious vi- olation, like crossing a picket line, could result in a fine or other penalties. A minor breach might just result in a letter to the teacher, said Ms. Gencey. She said the strike action does not forbid talking with parents. “They may want to have a chat with the teacher to fill in the blanks,” Ms. Gencey said. In fact, a second Oshawa par- ent said that did occur. Lezlie Dickson was upset that her son, a senior kindergarten student at Adelaide McLaughlin Public School, only received a one-sen- tence comment on his report card after eight months of schooling. Ms. Dickson called her son’s teacher and received a call back Thursday afternoon, during the teacher’s preparation time. “She was very nice; she an- swered all my questions,” she said. Ms. Gencey said if a teacher doesn’t have time to speak with a number of parents, the latter should call the school principal and request more preparation time for the educator. Some parents, including Mr. Matusiak, have heard that some report cards are coming home with more information than oth- ers. Ms. Gencey agreed there might be variations. In some cases, principals might have gone into the system and com- pleted or added to the report cards. In others, teachers were unaware they were not supposed to sign the report cards and did. The local ETFO office has only received 12 calls from parents in the last two days regarding re- port cards, she said. “I don’t see that as being a huge backlash,” said Ms. Gencey, adding the calls were referred to the local trustee or school super- intendent. Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, confirmed that at some schools, administrators “have taken it upon themselves to make a small comment” on report cards. However in most cases, she understands teachers are filling them out, or not, according to the strike protocol. “Some of them are very con- cerned,” Trustee Roy said of par- ents. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Johnny and Charlene Matusiak (centre), whose son Tyson is in junior kinder- garten, are upset with the lack of information contained in Tyson’s report card. Mr. Matusiak believes the completion of the documents are part of a teacher’s job and should not be included as part of the Durham elementary teachers’ labour action. Ontario Health Update Important information on: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Make your family aware. What is it? SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, and is a severe form of pneumonia, accompanied by a fever. A small number of these affected cases can become severely ill. What are the symptoms of SARS? The symptoms of SARS usually begin within 10 days after direct contact with a SARS patient. They include a fever of more than 38 degrees celsius or 100.4 degrees fahrenheit and/or any of the following: •Muscle aches and pains •Severe fatigue •A severe headache •Dry cough •Shortness of breath. How do I get it? It is believed the illness is spread from coughing and sneezing, or from direct face-to-face contact with an ill person. How is it treated? Patients with SARS are being treated in hospital with antibiotics and antiviral agents and are receiving supportive care. Cases are being kept in isolation rooms and hospital staff are using appropriate precautions. Even if you have no symptoms, should you still go into home isolation? Yes, for a period of 10 days from the date of exposure if one of the following applies to you: •close contact with a person known to have SARS; or •a visit to Scarborough Hospital, Grace Division during the period March 16 to March 26; or •a visit to York Central Hospital in Richmond Hill during the period March 16 to March 28. What do I do if I’ve travelled to China, Hong Kong, Singapore or Vietnam (city of Hanoi)? •You should monitor your health for the above symptoms for 10 days upon return to Canada. If you develop fever and/or any of the symptoms noted above you should put yourself in voluntary isolation and call your local public health unit and your doctor. What should you know about quarantine or home isolation? •Call your local Public Health Unit (see your local telephone directory) which will provide you with more information and assistance •Anyone who has been exposed to SARS in the past 10 days should be quarantined or isolated at home, for a 10-day period, even if they are not displaying symptoms •The incubation period for SARS is 10 days. Staying at home and limiting your exposure to others is the best way to control the spread to family, friends and co-workers. If you do not develop symptoms within the 10-day period, you can end your quarantine. What should you do when in home isolation? Take the following precautions: •Remain at home, do not leave your house and do not have anyone visit you at home. Family members do not have to be isolated, unless a member of the household is diagnosed with SARS •Wear a mask when you are in the same room with another member of your household •Change your mask twice a day. Family members do not have to wear a mask •Do not share personal items, such as towels, drinking cups or cutlery •Wash your hands frequently •Sleep in separate rooms •Measure your temperature with your own thermometer twice a day over the 10-day period •If anyone in the household develops fever (over 38 deg C/ 100.4 deg F), respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing), headache, or is feeling unwell, call Telehealth Ontario at the number shown on this page. Should family members of healthy people who are in isolation stay home from work, day care or school? No. Family members of healthy people who are quarantined do not need to stay home because there is no risk they can transmit SARS. If the person in quarantine develops signs of SARS, their entire household will be quarantined. Should visitors go into private homes of those in quarantine? No. If someone has been isolated at home, they have been instructed not to receive visitors. 04/03/03 Version disponible en français If you think you have been exposed to SARS or want more information, here are some useful numbers and web sites: Call InfoLine at 1-888-668-4636 (TTY: 1-800-387-5559) for general information about SARS or Call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 (TTY: 1-866-797-0007) if you have symptoms www.health.gov.on.ca www.toronto.ca www.sars.gc.ca A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 6, 2003 PAGE 9 A/P That’s right, The Court at Brooklin retirement residence is 50% built!

Seniors worry about rising costs, fixed income BByy DDaavviidd SStteellll News Editor DDUURRHHAAMM –––– Seniors col- lecting Old Age Security benefits are getting a slight raise over the next few months, but one Durham area senior says in the end, it's not any real advantage to most. "It's only a drop in the bucket," says Joyce Costello, president of the Oshawa Senior Citizens Club. She says the little extra money the increase gives them won't amount to extra spending money for a lot of seniors. "It doesn't really affect me or anyone on an in- come-geared rent," she says. "It seems to me, when we had a raise be- fore, that it put my rent up $6." In late March, Human Resources Development Canada announced OAS benefit rates will increase by 0.6 per cent for the next three months. They reported the basic OAS pension, paid to most people 65 years of age and over, will now be $456.08 per month, as of April 1. According to HRDC, benefit rates are adjusted for inflation every three months, based on changes in the average Consumer Price Index. Ms. Costello says she believes the money could be better spent. The in- crease, if pooled across the board, could be in- vested in health care, a service all from which all seniors benefit more. The rising cost of neces- sary drugs is also a major concern for the seniors' club president and many others, she says. "It's fine for the people who have drug plans, but I have to buy glasses and such," she says. Creating and funding further assistance for se- niors with special needs also tops her list of uses for more government funds. At 83, she can still care for herself without assis- tance, but that's not so for many others. "We need a little more help in our apartments," she says. "I'm able to get around, but what about those who can't?" Uxbridge Seniors Club president Colin Barnett agrees not everyone will feel the impact of a slight increase in the OAS. But any increase is a step in the right direction, he points out. "I think you have to look in terms of the individual,' he says. "Personally, I'm fortu- nate enough to have a company pension, it's not going to make a great deal of difference to me. It will (make a difference) to people who only rely on the benefit, though." His concern is for any- one without the support of a company pension. "Anyone unfortunate enough not to have paid into a pension plan like teachers, it's a lot more difficult," he says. "To anyone just relying on the two government pensions, every little bit helps." The OAS program is the f irst level of Canada's three-level retirement in- come system. It is funded through general tax rev- enues and provides a basic minimum income for more than 95 per cent of Canadian seniors. Ac- cording to the HRDC, the OAS program is the most widely accessible source of income for older Cana- dians, providing four mil- lion seniors with more than $25 billion in 2001-02. For further information, call the HRDC at 819-994- 5559. The Income Security Programs Web site can be found at www.hrdc- drhc.gc.ca.

Look into your home first. Furnace filters, chemical cleaners, ventilation. Water is extremely important as our bodies are over 70% composed of it and need it for our cells to function properly! Be fussy about the quality of water you drink, Reverse osmosis is the most highly recommended. Food has an enormous effect on our well-being, get your allergy/sensitivities tested and have a complete nutritional assessment. Many clients tested have found they have been eating food they are sensitive to sometimes all their lives, and have suffered terrible symptoms as a result. Exercise, rest, and stress can be directly related to all of the above. If you have symptoms, get your allergy/sensitivities tested and find out which foods are the culprits, many people are experiencing the benefits of energy & health once again just from avoiding foods they are sensitive to.

According to the Oxford American Dictionary: A symptom is a sign of the existence of a condition, especially a perceptible change from what is normal in the body or its functioning indicating disease or injury. We are so distracted by life that we endure symptoms until they multiply or just get unbearable and we are forced to do something. Symptoms are really a blessing in disguise alerting us to a problem or condition that needs attention. If nothing is done, symptoms can deprive you of the good things life has to offer, and the good you have to offer life. It’s absurd to endure symptoms for years then hope a doctor can undo all the damage. If you have symptoms such as headaches, ir ritable bowel, constipation, sinus problems, fatigue, weight gain or others: Remember, your health and happiness are your responsibility.

Education Minister Eliz- abeth Witmer last Tues- day said a new, full-credit course would be devel- oped for Grade 12 stu- dents who have failed the Grade 10 Ontario sec- ondary school literacy test. A student who passes the course could receive a diploma without passing the exam, which had been a graduation requirement. The Ontario secondary school literacy course would be “up and running this fall,” said ministry spokesman Dave Ross. “It’s a much more rea- sonable approach for all kinds of reasons,” said Fran Pereira, a Pickering trustee on the Durham Catholic District School Board. “Many students don’t do well on tests, and the amount of money that’s been spent on advertising and promoting the test I feel could be much better spent.” Trustee Pereira believes more students would be successful on the test if it were administered by the classroom teacher and there wasn’t such a heavy emphasis on it. Kathleen Hopper, an Oshawa trustee on the Durham District School Board, said “a lot of kids have problems with tests in the first place,” regard- less of how well they have prepared. She speculated that most students who take it would pass the course, adding it remains to be seen how difficult the course will be. The Province is engaged in “damage control” by adding the course, Trustee Hopper believes. “I think they’ve backed themselves into a corner and they’re trying to find a g racious way out,” she said. The test, administered once per school year by the Education Quality and Accountability Office, as- sesses students’ reading and writing skills and is a non-credit diploma re- quirement. Students can write it more than once, however those who re- peatedly fail have faced the prospect of having to return to high school, even if they pass all of their credit courses, to take it again. It’s no coincidence the course is being introduced next year, said Trustee Hopper, since current Grade 11 students are the first group for whom pass- ing the test is mandatory. “It’s going to address the problem,” added Trustee Pereira. “It’s going to give them a chance to learn what they’re miss- ing, instead of just pinning (a pass or fail) on their diploma.” Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine said the course would allow for built-in remediation. “I think it’s an excellent alternative to the literacy test,” she said. “We’ve had significant concerns around one test being a gatekeeper.” A member of the On- tario Public School Boards’ Association’s board of directors, Trustee Loraine said the provincial organization has been concerned about the test. “You have a test that up to now in some cases did not allow for accommoda- tions,” she said, noting a student without an indi- vidual education plan might still need more time to write the test. “That’s been a point of contention for a while.” The Province in a press release stated the course “is equivalent to the com- ponents” of the test. “The goal is to provide (Grade 12 students who have failed the test) with the necessary skills to meet the requirements of the Ontario secondary school diploma.” Roughly 6,100 Durham high school students fully participated in the Febru- ary 2002 literacy test, meaning they wrote the test on both days it was administered. At the public board, 79 per cent of those students passed, while 78 per cent of Catholic pupils were successful. Provincewide, almost 32,000 students failed. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 6, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P Pickering (accross from the P.T.C) Yo u’re invited to a great meal Buy One Entrée, Get One Free!

The section, between Salem and Audley roads, has been off-limits for about two weeks due to the recent warm temperature that caused melting ice and sediments to block several culverts and left a portion of Rossland under water. Two culverts are being removed and replaced this week. Workers had to wait for the area to dry before be- ginning work. Frost on the road also contributed to the closure. The road is expected to reopen at the beginning of next week, said Grant Taylor, manager of roads and operations for the Town of Ajax.

Roger Anderson told members of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade (APBT) last week to start filling out their “shopping lists” now with the anticipation of a provincial election in the spring. “The current government pays attention to business,” he said. It’s a good chance boards of trade will be asked for their po- litical input more in the future, said Mr. Anderson, suggesting the extension of Hwy. 407 through Durham, a share of gasoline tax revenues, and an opportunity to host the Interna- tional Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor (ITER) project should be at the top of their wish list. With the international climate today, Canada’s bid for ITER looks good, he said. The G7 countries should be making that decision later this year. But, while the Region and Province are firmly behind the research project, Mr. Anderson said, “There’s still one guy sit- ting up there in Ottawa, who can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. If you know him or someone who knows him, let him know Durham needs to be looked at.” The Region is recovering from a year of difficult debates, in- cluding the region-wide smoking bylaw, the fight for a new region- al headquarters and a bid to give the Pickering Markets a transi- tional home, he said. But, it was a positive year, Mr. Anderson added, pointing out Durham maintained its Triple ‘A’ credit rating and had its most explosive building season so far — a total of 5,300 new homes in 2002. “A fter three decades of am- bivalence, I think Durham Re- gion has finally turned a corner,” he said, adding the decision to move forward with a new region- al headquarters and the creation of a community strategic plan signal “a new direction” for the Region. But impacting Durham’s fu- ture most will be the extension of Hwy. 407 and a future regional reliever airport in Pickering, Mr. Anderson said. An environmen- tal assessment and master plan will be completed this year, with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority’s recommendations to the federal government expected by early 2007. Public meetings will be held this spring for draft airport zon- ing regulations. The airport not only needs to be linked to the Seaton lands and Hwy. 407, but it will have its own emergency plan, police and waste management issues, he warned. Also looking to the future, Mr. Anderson said the Region is working on an integrated transit program for Durham building on current GO Transit and local routes. A new service for the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Te c hnology and Durham College will be launched in September. Answering questions about emergency preparedness and safety, the chairman said the re- gion’s nuclear plants are increas- ing their safety measures and monitoring the situation in Iraq on a daily basis. “There’s been no direct threat to any facility in Durham Region after Sept. 11,” he added.

PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Tw enty-one-month-old Jacob Jackson wanted to play some hoops with the big boys while hanging out with dad at the Durham Region senior boys’ all-star basketball game at St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School in Pickering Tuesday night. Jacob’s dad, Dave Jackson, of the Pickering High School Trojans, coached Team Black to victory at the annual showcase. Pickering triathlete tops O-Kaye Alicia! Athlete captures university title PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----A Pickering triathlete conquered inclement weather and a strong field to cap- ture the National University Triathlon Cham- pionships in London recently. Alicia Kaye, a first-year student at Laurent- ian University in Sudbury, made her first event of the year a winning one. The champi- onships were hosted by the University of West- ern Ontario. Kaye led from start to finish, leading by more than a minute after the 777-metre swim, which included 34 lengths of a pool. In the 20- kilometre bike portion, Kaye further increased her lead, although the six laps of the course proved treacherous, owing to wet roads. In the last leg, the 4.5-kilometre run, Kaye continued to enjoy a strong lead over the rest of the field. But, the run didn't come without some discomfort due to the cold race condi- tions of 3 C. "The run was painful as my legs were ex- tremely numb," said Kaye in a press release. "The run was three loops and I progressively got faster as I started to have feeling in my legs. "I crossed the line satisfied with my efforts on the day under less-than-ideal conditions." The race represented a fast start to the season for Kaye, who finished 2002 with a 17th-place finish at the World Triathlon Championships in Cancun, Mexico last December. She was the top Canadian in her junior age group. She has emerged as one of Cana- da's top junior triathletes, training with the same team as Canadian Olympic triathlon gold medallist Simon Whitfield. She finished second at the Cana- dian junior championships in Wasaga Beach last August. In 2001, she won the Canadian junior title in Winnipeg. She finished third at the 2000 junior nationals. Kaye also earned several acco- lades at the year-end athletic ban- quet at Laurentian. She was named rookie of the year in women's swim- ming and cross-country. She plans to run in duathlons and road races in May, leading up to the summer triathlon season. She's currently studying sports psychology at Laurentian.AALLIICCIIAA KKAAYYEE University triathlon champion. PLAYOFFS Tickets Still Available!

Cindy Miles netted nine points for East Side Mario's and Erica Cotterell replied with 10 for Donlands.
