In a report to trustees Mon - da%. Doug Wilson, superinten- dent of operations for the Durham District School Board, said the board's recognition by the Bertelsmann Foundation as 'being a leader in education is continuing to pay off for schools throughout the region. Mr. Wilson told trustees more than 50 innovative school projects are under way this year as a result of the Bertelsmann Innovation Fund, which was es- tablished with the winnings of the 1996 Bertelsmann Pri/e. "This is an initiative that continues to keep us ahead of other boards of education:' %Ir. Wilson said. The fund, which is made up of the interest gained through the investment of the reward money, is enabling 51 projects at a cost of roughly $95•(NN) this year The approved projects in- clude programs at indi%idual el- ementary and secondary schools and several joint efforts between groups of schools. And, they represent an -ongo- ing improvement in teaching and learning,' Mr. Wilson said, noting the "submissions this Year were exemplary:' Some of the initiatives in- clude projects designed to inte- grate technology into the cur- riculum, while others focus on mathematics and science. At E.A. Fairman Public -&heel in Whitby, for example, staff are implementing a project entitled Celebrating Science which is tied to the new science curricu- lum, while a project at Dr. C. F. Cannon Public School in Os- hawa focuses on the problem solving and thinking skills used in mathematics. At Adelaide McLaughlin See DURHAM Page 2 DOUG WILSON `Continues to keep us ahead...'

"The kids weren't coming here expecting to make a bunch of money" Coun. Dickerson reports the whole thing started when he got so many calls from people un- able to cope with the snow. He phoned local high schools and requested principals to ask stu- dents whether they were inter- ested in volunteering.

W&U ltWAY EDITION. January 20.1999 B.C. ruling could delqva Durham child porn cases BY STEPHEN SHALL' Staff Waier A ruling by a British Columbia judge making it legal to possess child pornog- raphy there will ultimately impact and delay several high-profile cases in Durham Region, local defence lawyers predict. "It will definitely change the tactics as far as hone these cases will proceed:' prominent Oshawa lawyer Bernie O'Brien said. Mr. O'Brien represents Daniel Han- cock. 31. of Whithy, who is currently facing numerous counts of producing. possessing and distributing child pornography. Police seized more than 10,000 com- puter-generated images and 5(X) vdco tapes during a search of his then Oshawa home in 1996. Some of the images depicted young children, including infants, engaged in a variety of sex acts with adults, animals and other children, police said. "in all probability now we are going to proceed on a contested basis:' Mr. O'Brien said of the case against his client. In a stunning decision, Mr. Justice Duncan Shaw last week declared the law making it illegal to possess child pornography a violation of an individ- ual's Charter Rights. The ruling is being appealed by that province. However, the legal issue is expected to eventually make its way to the Supreme Court of Canada, the auntry's highest court. The ruling is not binding in Ontario. but it could be used here as a precedent by defence lawyers on the same consti- tutional grounds. We have the judicial blessing from the west and of course we are going to examine (the judgment) and use it in the context of our own case.- Mr. O'Brien said The decision will also have an im- pea on the case involving an Oshawa soccer coach charged with possession of child porn. -It is a legitm aw argument. to be blunt:' Bob Kimball, a lawyer who represenu Mark Docdsley, the coach. said of the basis for the ruling. "You have an obligation to your client to make that same argument mm. I dunk we have to review our position in light of the judgment: Mr Kimball %aid. Police -.cited hundreds of sexually explicit images and writings depicting children following the arrest of Mr. Dadsicy, recently coruvicted of sexually assaulting a 12 -year-old boy trying out for the xxxer team. Mr Kimball said the current child porn legislation violates an individual's not to freedom of exprc.won, but the violation could be justified if "dcmon- strabic harm" is shown by the accu ed's actions. -The Crown in B.C. couldn't prove what demonstrable harm was caused" Mr. Kimball said the court rul- ing, essentially, states possessing child pornography in a "private context' is not a criminal offentce. Ultimately, local cases may be delayed until a decision by the supreme court, which could he at least two years away. Durham Region Senior Crown Attor- ney John Scott said he anticipates the out -if -province ruling to have an effect on defence strategies, but said it won't change how local cases arc prosecuted. "At this stage it will have no impact on how we review charges laid in On- tano. I'm sure there will be arguments on the issue. and probably adjourn- ments," he said. It will be "business as usual until we get a judgment" support- ing the ruling from an Ontario Court judge or the Supreme Court, he said. Durham students benefit from Bertelsmann award funds DURHAM From page I Public School in Oshawa, students are focusing on a safe school project de- signed to discourage bullying and at Vaughan Willard Public School in Pickering, teachers are implementing a project called Falling Ahead which is designed to benefit students who are exceeding the expectations for their grade level. In the secondary panel, projects in- clude everything from virtual geogra- phy at Ajax High School to a project designed to integrate aviation technol- ogy across the curriculum at Exeter High School. Several elementary and secondary schools across the region are also pm- ticipating in online book clubs as pan of the 15 group projects that were ap- proved.

Board dips into reserves for retirements It's `very unfair' as Province funds other boards' gratuities: Trustee SY SUSAN O'NEILL �/ staff Water Spending millions of dollars from the public school board's reserves on gratuities for em- ployces choosing early retire- ment is `unfair" when other boards arc receiving provincial funding to cover the costs, say trustees. -1 think it's very unfair. 1 think we're disadvantaged.- Pickering isadvantaged - Pickering trustee Ruth Ann Schedlich told the Durham Dis- trict School Board Monday as she urged colleagues to send a letter to the Province outlining the board's concerns. When the Ministry of Educa- tion and Training and the Teacher Pension Plan Board an- nounced an early retirement window for teachers in late 1997, the Province "established specific funding to assist school boards with the cost of retire- ment gratuities for employees choosing early retirement,- Ron Trbovich, superintendent of business, told trustees during a report on changes to the board's operating and capital budgets. However. the ministry has since informed the board it will not cover those costs for the 1998-9y school year and it has clawed back $1.6 million pro- vided to cover retirement gratu- ities during the short year peri- od, which ended Aug. 31, he said. But, school boards like the Toronto District School Board, which was amalgamated under the Fewer School Boards Act, have received restructuring funds from the government to aid with the cost of retirements. RUTH ANN SCHEDLICH 'Durham tat dollars ... are helping to subsidize the retirement gratuities.' The gratuity a teacher re- ceives upon retirement is based on the unused sick time they have accumulated over their ca - toter. reports Mrs. Schedlich. Teachers are eligible to re- ceive up to half a year's salary. site reported. "It's a very expen- ,ive thing. - Mrs. Schedlich said the Province should consider phas- ing it out. -In effect it's really Durham tax dollars that arc helping to subsidize the retire- ment gratuities. - She told trustees, -1 think we should be challenging this. 1 don't think it's fair the Toronto District School Board should cot additional money. ..For years we have put money into the reserves and Sonic without in other areas to do so. We have talked to our MPPs, but we haven't created enough awareness about this:' Mrs. Schedlich added. Calling the different ways boards are treated an "inequity". Mr. Trbovich noted the Durham board will take S4.3 million from its reserves "to offset the cost of the unfunded 85 -to -89 - factor retirements" Other changes to the budget include some "gratifying news with regard to special education funding;' Mr. Trbovich added. As a result of the govern- ment's review of the board's funding allocation for special education, the board was award- ed an additional $5.3 million for the program. The revised 1998-99 operat- ing budget of $370,990,371 and the capital budget of $42,570,000 were approved by trustees, who voted to send a letter to the Province regarding funding for retirement gratu- iucs. -It's about time this board took a stand against the provin- cial government,- Whitby trustee Elizabeth Roy said. She added trustees have -to make a little bit of noise- if they hope to Set any additional money from the Province. New schools built for year-round learning All new elementary schools built in Durham will be con- structed with air conditioning facilities that will enable the buildings to accommodate year- round classes in the future. And, parents in communities where new schools are planned will be asked to explore the op- tion of year-round schooling, Durham District School Board trustees voted Monday. The public board began offer- ing a year-round program at C.E. Broughton Public School in Whitby in August 1996 and several trustees think the modi- fied calendar is the way of the future. "We've got to be futuristic:' said Oshawa trustee Susan Sheffer, who supported the plan to equip schools for a year- round calendar. But. Pickering trustee Ruth Ann Schedlich said, " 1 don't think it's money well spent. I still do not think there is a great deal of support in the communi- ties (for the modified calendar)." The air conditioning up- grades will translate into rough- ly S90,000 w S100,000 for each new facility, reports Jack Massie, superintendent of plant services, noting increasing the size of the air ducts during ini- tial construction is much less ex- pensive than renovating a school at some point in the future. Mrs. Schedlich, who was the only trustee to vote against the plan to set up committees in each new school community, said the plan will be -putting a lot of extra work on our superin- tendents" and "wasting a lot of time.

No one could ca% it better than Bruce Wood of the Durham Health Net"ork did when he spoke to Durham Council last week in advance of Nalional Non-Smokine Week from Jan. 18 to 24 and Weedless Wednesdav toxla. As Mr. Woxxd and the health network are kicking off a to- bacco awareness program at Oshawa Airport today. count- less numbers of Canadians are kicking oft' as the result of smoking. In fact. the Ontario Mtmstry of Health tells us. about 35 residents of the province will die today and every day from smoking. That's one every 40 minutes. Yes. Mr. Woxki, aliens from the motion are walking among us. and dropping dead to. They take the form of grown men who have been smok- ing two or three packs a day every (day of their adult lives. They should know better because the Health Ministry's been warning us smoking one -and -a -half packs of cigarettes a day exposes you to as much radioactive poison as W) chest X-rays in a year. Tbisc moon inhabitants take the form of women who smoke while they're pregnant and therefore have a greater risk of miscarriage. the Canadian Cancer Society advises. When they give birth. there's a good chance they'll deliver less healthy babies. And. more of their newborns die sown after birth than those of non-smoking mothers. Finally, and most alarmingly, the moon aliens among us include our children. In fact, the health network's Mr. Wexxd reports. "One-third of nine to 13 -year-olds are addicted:' to tobacco. He made the startling revelation as he and Gam' Minnie of the Cancer Society's East Durham Unit lobbied Region Politicians to join the fight against smoking by pressuring the fed% to increase the cost of cigarettes and t, hire more inspectors to clamp down on sures that sell tobacco to mi- nors. "Smokers get hooked when they are young." said Mr Minnie. who called smoking among our xchildren a "public health crisis" - It's difficult to understand why today's young people take up the habit. exposed as they have been all their lives to anti-smoking messages and educated throughout their chldhxd to the perils of puffing. Mr. Wood believes it's because "kids think it's cool to smoke " A thought that couldn't be further from the truth. To those young people feeling pressured to smoke by their peers. those who have already taken up the habit and for adults hooked ked ort nicotine, we offer some information. We don't want to preach to you because we know you've been there, tone that. Instead, we'll let the expen% like the Can- cer Society, the Health Ministry, the Heart and Stroke Foun- dation and the Durham Region Health Department teach. Just a sampling of truths and consequences: • O garette% contain thu%ands of chemicals that no one w.wW ohcrwis¢ ptu in their body. such as arsenic used as po mon fox pest control. cyanide used in gas chambers. chemicals found in toilet bowl cleaners.

That's abut 14.000 heart attack death.% per year in this country. • Four out of five lung cancers are caused by smoking. Nine out of 10 people who get lung cancer die of the disease, usu- ally within two years of diagnosis. Help for the hungry The numbers, if you believe them, are shaking. According to a resolution being sent to the provincial leg- islature. fully 50 per cent of food bank clients in Pickering are children under the age of 18. And, the resolution demands the Province "acknowledge and address' the issue here at home. It's a laudable resolution, but lacks detail. And the solu- tion doesn't lie in simply throwing money at the problem. Continued economic activity, a climate of job creation and some restored funding for social services can provide key supports in a foundation being built to "acknowledge and address" poverty. Support for the idea is surely there. Here's hoping Queen's Park can respond quickly and effectively. YOU SAID IT The question was: It's Weedless Wednesday.

GROEN/This Week phoms with heavy emphasis on the automotive industry. For that reason alone. the next 10 years could present some challenges which, if not unique to the Region, will be felt more here. "here's certainly an aging demographic in many of the tracks.' says George Yarwo od, a training consultant for the Ministry of Education and Train- ing baud out of Pickering. Areas where shortages arc. or could be. felt include tool and dic. general ma- chinist, metal cutting. and motor vehi- cle service technician (previously called auto mechanic). "Many of our trakspcoplc are gating aider and we certainly hope we'll have people to re- place them." says Mr. ti'arwootd. -Tradi- tionally in Ontario, the emphasis was to go Ito university or college. The tracks were down the Iia. The situation rnow (in the trades) is if you work the same hours as a doctor or lawyer, you can earn the same amount." Soffit: of the factors leading to a shortage of tradespeople in- clude the massive change in technology over the past decade. A motor vch iLk service technician of today simply doesn't perform the same job the auto mechanic he replaces did 10 years ago. And. adds Mr. Y—oxod, "as the economy improve, more goods arc being produced. And we ncW people to work on them." Both the provincial and federal governmient% have: recognized the need for redevelopment of the trades and technology industries. Two programs currently boring run at the high school level attempt to entice students to consider apprenticeships at an earlier age. hc- Ontario Youth Intemship Program and The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Pro- gram combine high school education with hands-on trade expenenne. The programs were piloted through Durham College in a co-operative cohort with the Ontano government. HRDC and four school boards including the two Dudam boards, the Kawartha Pine Ridge Baud and the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington Catholic Board. The provincial government has taken the re- tooling of the province's workforce one step further with the Apprenticeship and Certification Act cur- rently before the legislature. It is aimed to reform the apprenticeship system and how it operates. The new act replaces the current Trade Qualifications and Apprenticeship Act which has been around since the early seventies. "It hadn't been reviewed in over a quarter of a century;" says Durham East MPP John O'Toole who chaired a committee which conducted public hearings in four cities in the province last Novem- 'does. i'� I �/��1� i' �raln �Jk k I ber. 'Technology and training which has changed great- ly in that time had not been reviewed so it was long overdue." S rax of the changes the govem- ment is hoping will get people back into the trades include nhorc flex- ibility around classroom training and a greater case in crossover from one rclat- f ed trade to another. With the increasing emphasis on technology, Durham College has come into its own in recent years and is well-placed to become a leader. The college was always rooted in that area since it opened in 1967, says Bruce Bunker. director of techmAogy for the college. "Ili first two press - dents of the college were mc- chanical engineer. In those days the government put more capital money into the system. Every col- lege auk Its own little sub -direction." Tech- nology was the "little sub -direction" of choice for Durham College. This year the provin- cial government has indicated its value toward that type of educa- tion with the launch of A. -cess to Opportunities Program (ATOP) geared to encourage colleges to increase the technology components of their pro- grams and universities to increase the engineering aspects. Tin government will thatch every dollar raised through community/corporate donations and spent on technology -hard programming. With money raised from Durham's Creating Futures Fund or from arporate cash or in-kind donations. Durham College will essentially be ahle to double the investment of its contributors. "It's a great wav to leverage our money." says Mr. Bunker. Althwgh the university centre based at Durham College doesn't offer engineering courts yet. Mr. Bunker says. "We're working towards it." Meanwhile the college continues to excel ex- actly where they'll be needed most; putting out graduates in everything from tool -and -die making to mechanical technology; a high-end CAD train- ing program "somewhat unique at the college level." While many of last year's 30 grads ended top working in the automotive industry, including here in Durham, a few did head south. '"Rte employ- ment agencies know we exist and they come after our students," says Mr. Bunker. Those students who are recruited to the US are hued by the new lo- cale and a pay hike at least comparable to the ex- change rate. And, in the states where there's an un- filled demand for those skills there's lots of oppor- WORDS FROM THE WISE Politics, Points of View and Parodies On the job hunt Human Resources Development Canada anticipates that over the next two years the number of new job openings will exceed the number of new job seekers for management occupations and occupations requiring post secondary education. Those fields include financial managers, human resource man- agers, chemists/chemical technologists, ge- ologists, and electrical trades.

But blue collar concerns aside, there are also professionals in high demand in Durham, says Olga Mvers. Labour Market Information Analyst for HRDC. "Tice concept of shortage. is difficult to nail down: where there actually are shortages:' she says, hecausc jobs can go hegging for different rea- sons.

"lin further out ( from a large centre). the harder it get. It depends on what the spouse does, also; it they can get a job in the com- munitv." Uxbridge is a prime example of a smaller com- munity with a chronic doctor shortage last year, the town had nine doctors and was still in reed of three more. Instead of attracting the of mors they needed. they lost three; one to the States and two to Toronto. "When what we really needed was 12, we're down to six." points out Dr. Davies. Durham is "a great place to practice" for many reasons. he contends. and those positive qualities are made evident to potential newcorrnn during continually active recruiting campaigns. "Ton pa- tients are appreciative and you feel you're part of a community." he notes. On the flip side. Durham's biggest hospital. Oshawa. is long overdue on its re- development plan and that can create a stressful en- vironment. "When you're working in a hospital that aced.% to be 50 per cent larger and the halls are jammed, that's notso fulfilling." With the edu caiion component of the puzzle al- most solved, it will depend on Durham's ability to draw the businesses, and ultimately the workforces of the future, to our doorstep. If the Region can do that, improved health-care facilities and the highly skilled doctors to stats them, can't be far behind. w WWWWE W �A (Wrfts&Entertainment N E NN'.S A DV ERTISE IZ JAN. 20, 1999 From L.A. to T.O.

At- rstvr, t t Sports Editor She's just one of the guys. That's how Ashley Riggs feels about being a member of the Ajax - Pickering Raiders' major peewee 'AAA' hockey team. Being a girl in a guy's game is noth- ing new to Ashley, of Pickering, who's the only girl on the 'AAA' team for 13 year olds. In fact, she's the only female in the entire Ajax -Pickering Raiders' organization and the only one to play in all of the Ontario Minor Hockey Also- ciation's Eastern Ontario 'AAA' loop. And. being a girl in a male -domi- nated bastion of hockey has never posed any problems for her, notes Ash- ley, a centre on the Raiders. She's played with and against males since first putting on skates at age six and, in fact, prefers the competitiveness of boys' hockey. "It's better and it's more competi- tive and stuff.- says Ashley who also plays part-time on the Scarborough Sharks bantam 'AA' girls' team, com- peting two full categories above her age gawp.

BY CINDY UPSHALL Sral%Writer Animal Emergency Clinic could be the answer to your pet's medical needs You pull on your coat and boots and prepare to go out into the cold night air to take the garbage out. Just as you open the door, the family dog Milts by you, runs outside and into the smut. Before you can chase your four -legged friend, there's the sound of screeching tires and a sickening thud. Man's best friend is lying motionless on the ground. it's almost midnight. your veterinary clinic is closed. What do you do! Who do you call? For many the answer is the Animal Emergency Clinic in Whitby. Essentially an emergency room for dogs, cats and other small domestic animals, the clinic treats urgent cases such as car accidents. cardiac problems and urinary blockages in cats. "We used to rotate and take calls:' says Dr. Graham MacLeod, administra- tor of the emergency clinic and veteri- narian with the Oshawa Animal Ho %pi- tal. '"hint worked fine when the popula- tion was 150,(><lll people and we rotated weekends and rotated nights. But I guess as the population grew and the number of vet% grew over the lasl•30 years, it he - came burdensome." This became the motivating factor in establishing the emergency clinic in May 1995. Nineteen partners, which have now grown to 24, from all over Durham Region, including one in Scarborough and one in Port Hoax. chipped in to es- tablish the clinic, hire vetermanans to staff it as well as any support staff. Instead of seeing patients themselves in the off hours, veterinarians with day- time practices simply refer clients to the emergency clinic. "We thoughts it would take five years fir the clinic to become a viable business propxisition and become a valuable prop- erty in tlx: animal community:' says Dr. MacLeoxl. However, it took just tine year for a to realize these goals, he says, 'nee clinic's waiting room hares some resemblance to a human hospital emer- gency room with tattered and outdated magazines on a table in the corner, with chairs on either side. it has the familiar. yet unpleasant, odour most animal shel- ters or clinics possess. Next to the counter is a sign inform- ing client% the clinic is an emergency de- partment and the most serious cases will he wen first. Beside that another, detail- ing the forms of payment accepted and telling clients payment is due at the time of xrvice. Sitting in the waiting room on this particular night is a large Rottweiller. The dog, whir barks as new people come in, has a ext paw and won't put his leg down. A few minutes pass and the dog and owner are brought into an examining room. A couple of more minutes and the sound of barking erupts from the room. Shortly after the furry patient emerges from the emergency nom with a muzzle and heads outside to calm down. In another area of the clinic staff pre- pare a male cat for an operation to re- move a blockage in his urinary tract. "You have some days when you go home and go 'ugh.' Everything either died or was euthanized:' says Carolin DueBenediclls, a registered veterinary lechmcian, dLscnhing the emotions staff at the clinic >•u through seeing soi mann sick animals. "But there are other days you leave and there's thin really sick ani- mal and you come in the next day and they're doing so much haler" Dr. Hayley King. a -terinarian at the clinic since its beginning, says euthana- sia (putting the animal to sleep) is a dif- ficult issue for slaffat the clinic, noting it happens more frequently here than in non -emergency clinics "It's hard. We do sec it lot of sick an- imals and because of that we do a lot of euthanasia, probably mere than you sec in a regular clinic:' she lays. Dr. Mac) Lod acknowledges this, ex- plaining that euthanasia is one option that owners of seriously ill animals con- sider for lith compassionate wid finan- cial reasons. 'It's brought up as an option:' he says, adding it is usually the owner who first brings it up. "I wouldn't say we don't bring it up. It's a lone pnority:' Dr. MacLeod says, adding when it is "it's out of despera- tion:' When staff examine an animal they list all the altematives for care from the most intensive to the least intensive. if discussions and negotiations with the owner fail to come up with a satisfactory alternative, euthanasia is introduced as the least intensive treatment alternative. "Its the last resort he says. Unlike human hospitals where people make medical -care decisions for their sick loved ones largely based on the doc- tor's rLe rnmenoiations, money often en- ters into the equation when people arc pondering treatment for their pets. It may seems hard to pui a dollar,.alue ,n %;ire for a companion ;w ilio r---, . of the situation is veterinary care, even emergency care, is a business. "We're in that interesting syueeic he- tween Feng totally involved in critical care and totally involved in a pragmatic business and it's it human dilemma:' says Dr. Maclxoxi. -11x only wary out of a dilemma is negotiation" One area that's not negotiable is the payment. Services must he paid for, in cash, credit card or debit card, before they are performed. 'That's a policy which upsets some people like Susan Huard, Ms. Huard rushed her pregnant toy poodle to the clinic in (ktoher 1997 when it experienced complications while delivering. Staff at the clinic told her a caesarean section delivery would be the best and the clinic would require $H(N) to perform the operation. -I couldn't come up with that kind of money at two o'clock in the mating:' she says. recalling the events of that night. When asked what would happen if she couldn't gel the amount. "they said they couldn't do anything for me " " If my Visa didn't go through my dog would have died:' she says. explaining it was luck her card accepted that amount. ..When it comes to compassion and money. compassion goes out the win- dow:' Ms. Huard says. In the few cases where staff- have felt sympathy for the animal and went ahead with the procedures, what has happened is "a big agreement is signed that never get%honoured. It would he a huge proh- lem if we did it routinely." he says. The Animal Emergency Clinic is lo- cated at 1912 Dundas St. E. in Whitby.
