Emergency ward works through `bypass' code AJAX — The emergency dcpartmcm at the hospital here was forced to join other hospi- tals in the Greater Toronto Area by refusing to accept any patients by ambulance for a number of hours on Tuesday. While the number of hewn the critical cam byrNws was in effect Has unavailable at press time, the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre couldn't accept any patients brought in by am- bulance, no matter how serious — until 9:30 a.m. yesterday. At that time, the hospital went on redirect, which meant it could accept only critical cases by ambulance, reports hospital spokesman Katie Cronin- Woxxl. The hospital has been treat- ing a high number of patients with pneumonia and gastro-in- testinal infections, according to Ms. Cronin -Wood. That, coupled with the lack of beds, has created pressure on the hospital, she adds. -it happens every Christ- ina:' Ms. Cronin -Wood ex- plains. "People don't want to come to the hospital on Christ- mas, so when they finally come, they are really sick" The hospital expected beds to become available by Tues- day afternoon, which would free up room in the emergency department, says Ms. Cronin - Wood Johnson, it's important to start discussing what is needed now since it can take years to get something like an ice pad built. "I think we have to get a game plan in place. Let's get the public's opinion on where they drink we should be going" Another reason to get the dis- .:ussion and planting started now. according to Coun. John- son, is so that cost-sharing arrangements can be worked out with community groups and the private sector. He notes the days when taxpayers could be expect- ed to foci the entire bill for cul- ture and recreation facilities are gone, and partnerships with business and/or the c�ommuniry are the way t0 go. He maintains sports organi- zations are eager and willing to contribute funds or raise money for facilities if given the chance. and there arc plenty of opportu- nities in recreation for business as well. For example. conn. Johnson says he knows of com- panies that would be willing to build multi -million -dollar sports and recreation facilities. "We have to prove the demo- graphics arc out there and that the population want, that " The councillor adds he's "frustrated" the process required for getting new facilities in place here has not begun yct and he's planning to do everything he can to get it under way, including bringing a motion before council Jan. 17 to have staff start consul- tation on the issue with the com- munity.

But today, the young girl im- mortalized in the minds of many after being photographed run- ning naked along a village road after being brutally burned by napalm in Vietnam, is the picture of happiness, optimism and for- giveness. And though there have been unimaginably difficult and painful times along the way, Kim Phuc Phan has finally found peace and contentment following an incredible journey that has taken her from the tiny village of Trang Bang to the Town of Ajax. The 36 -year-old mother of two young boys enjoys living in Ajax "very much. It's so quiet and peaceful " That's high praise from some- one whose life changed dramati- cally, and forover at the leader age of nine, when the South Viet- namese military mistakenly bombed the highway outside her village with napalm.

Sec- onds before she collapsed from pain, Associated Press wire ser- vice photographer Nick Ut cap- tured her image on film.

But if the aftershocks of the moving photograph have been kk around the world, the impact it has had oat Ms. Phan is inunca- strable. as chronicled nicled in the new book, 'The Girl in the Picture: The Kim Phuc Story% written by award-winning Canadian author Denise Chong and published by Penguin Books Canada. "1 am really, really thankful he took the picture:' Ms. Phan adnuts in an interview at her home. "He was not just a pho- tographer. He saved me. He took me to the hospital. He's a human being helping another," she says of Mr. Ut. "My family was not there to help me' She recognizes the picture's impact. "It was a powerful image," Ms. Phan concedes. "It was a wonderful gift It has contributed (to the promotion of) peace. I think it has let people learn about war, the horrors of war and to question why children have to suffer. It changed the way poople looked at the Vietnam war and war around the wood." However, as the author [totes in her book, Ms. Phan became "a pawn in the hands of officials who turned her into a propagan- da tool for her country's Com- munist regime. Ms. Phan's dream of beconr ing a doctor, for example, was thwarted as she was pulled froth countess classes to be inter- viewed by a steady stream of for- eign Journalists, pressured to lie about what her life was really like.

EDITORIAL Redirect, critical care bypass too common Tory government reactive rather than proactive It certainly seemed like a good idea at the time, a plan that was long overdue in Ontario. The Health Services Re- structuring Commission, given a clear mandate by the in- coming Tory government in 1995• set about changing the face of health care in the province. Hospitals were ordered closed or amalgamated, all with the goal of making the delivery of health care services more efficient and effective. Unused beds in hospitals - there were thousands of them a half -decade ago - were to be eliminated to save costs. With good intentions, the HSRC made many changes. And the Province backed most of those decisions. Howev- er, it seems these days we're playing catch-up with health care problems. Minister of Health Elizabeth Witmer is throwing money at hospitals overburdened with those who badly need care. Hospitals on redirect and critical care bypass are the rule rather than the exception. A few days ago the only hospital in the entire GTA accepting patients was Markham-Stouf- fville. Minister Witmer promised $196 million to help allevi- ale the crowded conditions to open up more beds. Some $43 million of that fund will go to hospitals in the GTA. Yet, it points to a multifaceted problem that won't get bet- ter anytime soon. Part of the future improvement to our health system must involve increased funding from the federal govern- ment. The social transfer payments from the fells to the provinces which have been massively cut over the past decade and which have helped the feds eliminate their deficit. must be restored now that Federal Finance Minister Paul Martin has a surplus to work with. Tax cuts are great. but not if we don't have an adequate health care system. Mr. Martin's next budget, due in about two months time, must restore badly needed funding to the provinces. But Minister Witmer must speed up the process of im- proving the system. Provincial Finance Minister Ernie Eves, with a surplus to work with next spring, must boost ipcnding on health care. Money for improvements is nec- issary as the population of Ontario. and especially the GTA Continues to grow. Finally, each of us can help by going to Emergency only when necessary. Too often, people want to see a doctor when confronted with a cold or the flu. Often, a visit to a pospital or clinic isn't needed. Some bed rest, plenty of flu- ids, etc., will do the trick. That trip not trade to Emergency ielps doctors and nurses concentrate on patients who truly IPecd care. Some redirect and CCB will always be necessary. To make sure the system works near capacity and is economi- cally viable. some sacrifice is necessary. But Ontarians peed to have confidence they'll receive necessary treatment in a reasonable amount of tithe at a nearby hospital. That claim can't be satisfied with the system we have at this unser. Did you prepare for that other bug?

By To the editor: Your recent article headlined 'Province agrees to study 10 -km alert zone' may have mislead readers as to what organization is in charge of nuclear emergency plans in Ontario. The responsibility for plan- ning for nuclear emergencies re- sides with Emergency Measures Ontario (EMO), an agency of the provincial goviernmcnt. It is this organization, not Ontario Power Generation (OPG), which will be conducting the study on how to alert residents in the unlikely event of a nuclear emergency. Whilc OPG will fund the study, the final decision on what sort of alerting system to put into place and how it is operated will rest with EMO Public safety is the number - one priority for OPG, and the no - btu design and prudent opera- tion of our nuclear facilities mean the chance of an accident ever affecting the public is very remote. However. OPG, the mu- nicipality and the Province all have good emergency plans in place, and well-trained people to implement them. The Interim Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan provides a good framework for protecting the public.

"I just called everyone I knew:" says Mr. Brah, the 34-vear-old owner of Os- hawa Auto Sales. "We could have raised more but we just ran out of time:' "We only started Thurs- day (Dec. 9):' adds Mr. Wright, 36, of Al Wright Auto Repair.

Adil Shamasdin, 17, a member of the Pickering Recreation Complex Ten- nis Academy, finished as a semi-finalist at the Miami Shores International under -I8 Tennis Champi- onships in Miami, Florida. The prestigious tourna- ment includes top -five tanked world professional Greg Rusedski in its list of past champions. In the semi-final round, Shamasdin lost to the top seed, Tutsuki Isoda, of Japan, 6-2, 6-3. He defeat- ed the number -two ranked player from South Korea in the quarter -finals, as well as an American and a Ger- man in the earlier rounds. To advance to the semi- final, Shamasdin defeated Yong Yoon Kim of South Korea 6-3, 6-3. According to coach Dave Ochotta, of the recreation complex's Tennis Academy, his stu- dent ably used all his weapons to eventually sideline the strong South Korean. "Adil showed a very ag- gressive serve -and -volley attack game;" notes Ochot- ta. The match was played on clay, thus making the successfuluse of serve - and -volley tactics even more impressive. The Ko- rean's excellent precision and movement were not enough to deter Shamas- din, who hung on to take ADIL SHAMASDIN Semi-finalist in singles at big Miami tennis tournament. the fust set, then turned up the pressure to prevail in the second set. Shamasdin started the tournament with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Jens Uh- lenbrock of Germany.. Uh- lenbrock took the first set with powerful serving and strong, well-placed ground strokes. The points were long and hard fought. Shamasdin managed to change the momentum at the start of the second set and didn't look back the rest of the match. In the next round, Shamasdin faced Matt Edelstein from the U.S., prevailing 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to advance to the quarter -fi- nals. Shamasdin plans to pre- pare for the Canadian In- door Nationals next month. He's a student in Dun- barlon High School's High -Performance Athlete program. 4 ti I J ,Z Prrte�r ' down 4pft'" own 0 p a d mead yment .< pal0 Payments eat 'rl or go sle %t days men r � IS Scarborough MwningsWe Illazda 958 Milner Avenue M-7100 PILsi Asr aurggearrive WARA As Ym Mks AaW Wines S dolee:,ro la Guest, Pix thirchmFrlata0er No 904vin fie WCWeroaf "all a AteoPa^wax ALe LrLrmml't aMW pbadfapetlsae xd reAl pta0pl ad �Aerrneaeib ow q moats Eamon la S'0,000 d 2.441APlll Pardlp rttede Eti -011e* nPlaa a 52000 90 4 4 even. :.0 r is Sim 20 4 anal of $10.60 20 fertile PeNoreterpilini9laaeb Oster 90mya al MStdear bbne dkwr►da7alie�lvUOrIOAsten Barry 47 WAW M New Pinsets sera 94 P 0 E d se]da a moM'M am Price fawn suit. - Iv hbbsey llo0sa a 2000 tea 1Py ;t naW I IJA0UU5p01 trSlSsne ores 24000 w Rr,v ^InR aksua mics S 700 m Ta so mean, imam r aimm % err o leFln .amt rmras raaxa rpt dEle tsfga aresbaala asp bt ler sradtraaoLmr base ala Purensr Fylars dkls OAC traalnaermtotKrs alta krar tee mr rat :fknbasrmlr.F Leta limo talNrae�a�a =WAW Got a score?

An early -season injury, a poor start by the Rangers and the firing of the head coach have taken the shine of what's supposed to be a make -or - break 1999-2000 campaign for the rugged team captain in the Ontario Hockey League. But, the Boston Bruins draft pick notes everything is starting to turn around for him and his Rangers team- mates in this pivotal season in his de- velopment as a top pro prospect. Although they're playing below .500. the Rangers are tied for second place with the Erie Otters in the OHL's Mideast Division. "We're trying to get our game to- gether," notes the 19 -year-old. "It's a really important year for me. Of course, I want to turn pro, so 1 have to have a good season to impress the Bruins" After being injured and out of the Kitchener line-up for the first five contests of the season. Milanovic is stepping up his game to push the Rangers toward a playoff berth. In 25 contests, the 6'2 205 -pound winger has scored eight goals and picked up seven assists for 15 points. And, the coaching change from Brian Hayton to Jeff Snider may help even further, notes the fourth-year member of the Ranger. 07 "Ilme r A "It's been excellent. The club has really taken on a new attitude and the players have reacted positively to (Snider). "Our number -one goal right now is making the playoffs. Once we're there, it's a whole new season." he says. "Everyone's working toward getting ourselves a spot in the play- offs and taking it from there." In order to get to the post -season, however, Milanovic says the Rangers have to concentrate on being a better defensive team in the second half. "Our team definitely has to im- prove on defence. We have a lot of young players who can put the puck in the net. We have to work on our de- fensive game. If we can do that, we'll have a great team. We have to con- centrate our focus on our own end of the ice" The Ajax Minor Hockey Associa- tion grad's biggest strengths are his leadership and his physical style of play that keeps opponents on their toes while he's patrolling the left side of the ice. He picked up 114 penalty minutes in 61 games last season and, so far this year, he's been sent off for 70 minutes. So punishing arc his hits that Milanovic was voted as the "best bodychecker" by league coaches last year. He's been voted the best body - checker by his teammates the past two seasons. "I play a physical style of game. First and foremost. I have to play a tough, physical game, but I have to improve my offensive skills and pick RYAN MILANOVIC In fourth season with the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. it up in the second half of the sea- son.- he says. Kitchener Rangers general manag- er Jamie McDonald is pleased with the dedication and work ethic his captain has brought to the Rangers over the past four years. This season, with a large number of rookies on the roster, Milanovic's leadership has proven invaluable. "He's an excellent leader for us;' notes McDonald. "He's probably the hardest working player on the team and he leads by example both on and olf the ice. We have a very young team this year and we felt it was im- portant for a guy like Ryan to show thcsc guys the way. He works hard every game and every practice:' After being drafted by Boston in the sixth round. 165th overall, in 1998. Milanovic took part in his first NHL camp with the Bruins this past fall. He was sent back to junior for more seasoning. "I had a good camp. I was really happy with the way things went. They want me to work on a few things and go back next year." Although he could return to the Kitchener Rangers as an overage player next season. Milanovic says his goal is to turn pro and remain within the Boston Bruins' organiza- tion after the 2000-2001 training camp. He hopes a good season for the Rangers will prompt the Bruins to take notice. "The more success we have here, the more chance I have to he success- ful" McDonald has no doubt that Mi- lanovic is a bona fide pro prospect with the Bruins, given his steady im- provement over his four years in the Rangers' organization. "Boston drafted him in the sixth round and they did that based on his work ethic. He might need a couple of years in the American league, but he works hard at his game, so I would classify him as a legitimate prospect One clay only I Sunday, January 2, 2000 our entire store is ON S A'1 -;E or at SPECIAL PURCHASE PRICES plus, � Sears Card d ..SAVE 15'°.

Spend wisely this holiday season, credit counselling agency advises You can enjoy the spirit of giving and head into the millennium "Christmas debt -free'. the Credit Counselling Service of Durham ad- vises. -rhe sounds and sights of the hol- iday season may bring forth squeals of delight from children. but they can trigger silent screams of anxiety in adults facing the annual rituals of crowded malls and the temptation to overspend:' the Credit Counselling Service says in a news release. It offers the following tips: • Shop with a plan. "Shopping Without a plan is like travelling w;th- out a map: Without one, you can eas- ily wander into dangerous territory." But a "few minutes spent planning will save you hours of headache at the mall and months of the burden of repaying debts that result from over- spending" The Credit Counselling Service encourages you to write out a gift list +nd include expenses you expect to incur over the holidays. such as spe- cial meals, travel, decorations, cards and work-related functions. -,Fvaluate your list and budget re- alistically for each item. Try to limit gift giving to family and close friends. Send a personal card or note to those you arc unable to buy for. And remember that gifts of time — such as babysitting or handicrafts - -can mean more to the recipient than a store-bought item:' • w'hen you shop, take along your list and a calculator, keeping in mind the difference 15 per cent in taxes can make to each purchase. Tally your :bill as you go and write it at the top 'of your list to help you keep your spending in check. Resist the tempta- tion to buy something for yourself and don't buy 'just -in -case' gifts. • Shop smart. Don't buy when you're feeling rushed or pressured. -Give yourself time to comparison shop and use the phone to check cost and availability at various stores. If you don't enjoy shopping alone, ask .fit trusted friend who can help you ;stick to your plans. - Use cash whenever possible. If using credit, do so wisely by limiting yourself to just one or two cards with the lowest interest rates; by keeping track of your purchases and monitor- ing them so you know how much you -have charged; and by not charging -more than you can afford to repay in -90 days or less.
