Change lights f ire anew Workers question their safety after smoking bylaw relaxed for seniors homes By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Some workers are concerned for their safety and rights after the Region said it will not enforce its strict smok- ing bylaw in privately run long- term care facilities. “I love my job and the seniors I care for (and) I do not want to see them lose what little they have left by taking away their right to smoke, but I love my family more,” said Janet Holtrust, a personal support worker at Versa-Care Centre in Uxbridge. “I refuse to put my health at risk any further to collect a pay- cheque.” Some employers have said staff have to go into designated smoking rooms (DSRs) to su- pervise residents, said Don Bur- shaw, a senior representative for the eastern region of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1, which repre- sents unionized employees at long-term care facilities across Durham. “They’ve (the employer) said it’s part of (worker’s) jobs, that it’s part of nursing care,” he said. “Our staff are doing what we consider to be a health haz- ard.” Staff are required to monitor residents who smoke, and to light their cigarettes, said Mary Nestor, director of communica- tions and policy development for Central Park Lodges, which owns six sites in Durham and others across Canada and the U.S. But employees must volun- teer. “We have a very clear policy, that indeed, if residents are smoking, they must be super- vised,” said Ms. Nestor. “A staff member who does not wish to ✦See Debate page 5 A very happy birthday Group of 30 celebrates Canada Day by taking the oath of citizenship By Jeff Hayward Special to the News Advertiser AJAX – It was a day to remember for local residents from around the globe who were sworn in as Canadian citizens on the coun- try’s 137th birthday. Citizenship Judge Peter Vec- chiarelli, surrounded by a group of local dignitaries and other guests, led a special Canada Day ceremony in Ajax council cham- bers July 1, welcoming a diverse audience of about 30 people tak- ing the oath of citizenship. The group included new Canadians from Guyana, Mexico, Dominica, Scotland, Ireland, Ukraine, Ja- maica, Bangladesh, Philippines, England, and Wales. Dmitry and Irina Mercoushev of Ajax came to Canada from the Ukraine about five years ago. They said Canada didn’t feel like home right away. “Cultural differences were the biggest challenge,” said Mr. Mer- coushev. “The people were nice... but overall it took time to adjust.” They didn’t come here to meet up with family, rather, they want- ed to experience something dif- ferent. “We were looking for chal- lenges,” he said. “Looking for a new life, a new start.” They are happy with their time in Canada, and now as new citi- zens. “It feels great to be here,” said Mrs. Mercoushev.

Why not send them to one where they can have fun and exercise their body and mind? Now in its third year, Planet Gymnastics is a recreational facility that offers gymnastic classes where kids can have fun, get active and work out their minds. “Gymnastics is an excellent sport for developing your child’s success in other sports and activities,” says Shawn Campbell, Planet Gymnastics co-owner and coach. “It also helps with future ambitions.” Planet Gymnastics offers a variety of classes, seven days a week, with something for kids as young as 18 months and programs for teens as old as 15. The Parent and Tot program, for example, is for kids between the ages of 18 months to three years and is a great opportunity for you to have fun and engage in playtime with your child in a unique environment. This class is a great way to improve your child’s physical ability as well as their social skills. A unique feature about Planet Gymnastics is its equipment. Their centre attraction is a three-storey play centre, with a separate ball pit and specialty training equipment for toddlers. They also have a 40-foot tumbling trampoline, plus equipment that is made especially for kids as well as all the traditional gymnastics equipment such as uneven bars, rings, single bars and balance beams. Classes run throughout the year, including a summer camp, with a special gold medal presentation held each June. The year is also commemorated with class photos. Not only is Planet Gymnastics a great place where kids can enjoy recreational gymnastics, it’s also a great setting for birthday parties. In fact, birthday parties are one of their specialties. “Birthday parties have become very popular,” says Mr. Campbell. “Often they are booked at least three months in advance.” The birthday party gets the entire gym to themselves, with access to the play centre, and participates in a variety of warm-ups and games that are directed by a coach. After a fun-filled activity session, the guests retire to the private party room, which is stocked with all the necessities for chowing down (i.e. dishes, cutlery etc.). There are a variety of birthday packages to choose from. To learn more about Planet Gymnastics visit them at 1755 Plummer Rd., Unit #8, or contact them at 905-839-7669.

An investigation began Saturday, June 26, when a 9-year-old girl said she had been touched by a man while visiting a friend, Durham Re- gional Police said. Police followed up with an interview of an 8-year- old girl who said she, too, had been assaulted. Both girls said they had been touched by a visitor to the home, police said. On Thursday, a man turned him- self in to Durham Regional Police officers. Francis Edward French, 35, of Pickering has been charged with in- vitation to sexual touching and two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference. Police looking for stabbing witnesses PICKERING –Crime Stoppers is ask- ing for the public’s assistance to solve a stabbing that took place last month. Police report on June 17 around 10 :45 a.m., the victim was walking through the parking lot of the Shell gas station at Kingston Road and Whites Road, when an unknown male approached him from behind. The suspect demanded the victim’s backpack, slashed at the victim’s neck and stabbed the victim in the back using a six-inch knife. When the victim refused to give up his property, police report the sus- pect fled the scene. He was last seen heading eastbound on foot toward the 7-Eleven store and then went westbound on Kingston Road riding a bicycle covered in a yellow sheet. The suspect is described as a light brown-skinned male, 5-feet-10, be- tween 17-22 years of age, and had slim arms and legs. He was wearing white shorts, a white sports jersey and a red bandana over part of his face. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 905-436- 8477 or 1-800-222-TIPS. Teens can get a chance to evaluate a career in health care By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Local students can get a jump on a health-care career or see if it’s for them this fall. The Durham District School Board is offering a new program at Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute in Os- hawa, a regional program open to any student in Durham who qualifies. Health Education Alternative Learning Model (HEAL) is an intro- duction to health care, a course cre- ated and taught by Marie Rayner from Durham Continuing Education. “My background is I’m a registered nurse,” she explains in an interview. “I went into teaching a couple of years ago and I have a passion to spread health care (learning) in Durham.” The one-semester, four-credit course, intended for Grade 11, 12 and even fifth-year returnees, offers stu- dents an opportunity to learn about health care and medical technologies both in a classroom and a placement setting. The curriculum covers med- ical practices and terminology, inter- personal and teamwork skills, cur- rent health care trends, career oppor- tunities and more. “They’ll have that knowledge be- fore they go out on a placement,” says Ms. Rayner. She says the course is perfect for “someone who has an interest in health care and sees their future in health care.” She also notes students keen on becoming paramedics or nurses, for example, are good candidates. HEAL would give students a head start on college or university studies, says Ms. Rayner. The placement opportunities in- clude group homes and dental of- fices, and Ms. Rayner is exploring other options. She will try and match a placement with a student’s inter- ests. The course begins at Donevan this September, and will also be offered there in second semester, with a max- imum of 22 students per semester ac- cepted. Students aged 17-20 with a se- nior math and science credit are eli- gible to apply. HEAL is open to Clar- ington students as well, but students there and elsewhere in the region have to get to the school on their own, as no busing is provided. Ms. Rayner says application forms are at Donevan’s guidance depart- ment and those interested can con- tact the school and request one.

The quarter was issued only that day to recog- nize Canada Day, and those on hand were among the first to receive it. A small pine tree was given to each as well. “Let it grow as you grow as citizens,” said Judge Vec- chiarelli. It was Canada Day in Kinsmen Park Thursday, with plenty to do for the whole family.

DURHAM – Durham’s Catholic school board has appointed it’s third new su- pervisory officer in a year. Michael Pautler is a for- mer teacher, vice-principal and principal at the Toron- to Catholic District School Board. He takes over Aug. 1 as the Durham Catholic District School Board’s eighth superintendent. Mr. Pautler was the founding principal of Mar- shall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School and for four years taught deaf and hearing impaired students in both elementary and secondary schools. For the last two years he was chair- man of the Toronto Catholic Secondary School Principals’ Association.

Whitehead Ph.D., Oxford Learning Centres When Labour-Day rolls around each year, students file back into their schools - ready for a new school year. Or are they? A teacher friend of mine tells me that, “It isn’t until mid October that most kids are back to speed. “This means that from July 1 through Thanksgiving many students are not focused or at their best. It may even be worst than that. Think about your child’s learning experi- ences in June each year. Tests, exams, field trips and other events consume most of that month’s schedule adding another month to the let-down period. Considering that the average school year includes only 195 days of instruction, we soon see why many schools struggle to meet the educational expectation of parents and society. We know that kids who are focused and ready in September, will learn, inte- g rate and understand new material right away. How can you help your kids stay sharp over the sum- mer holiday so there will be no let-down in the fall? Here are a few suggestions: •Reading: Make sure that your children read during the summer. Even if they have a busy social life and a part or full time job, make sure that take time each day to read. •Studying: Set up brief study periods at least every other day. Times when your child can review the worst or hardest subjects, read ahead into next year’s material and organize for next year. • Writing: Buy interesting journals and help them get started. Write each day - feel- ings, weather, what they did. Anything is fine. Encourage internet communication with a select group of friends using something like ICQ or Messenger. The more they write, the more they focus. • However, possibly the best way to help students stay sharp is through a good sum- mer program such as those at Oxford Learning Centres to help keep those thinking, reading, writing, math and study skills sharp and ready for September. It’s not so much the memo- rized material that students forget over the summer, it’s learning how to learn that gets forgotten each summer. That’s because it is seldom taught independent of school subjects. Students who devel- op good learning and thinking skills will be ready for success in September. Attending a study session over the sum- mer at Oxford is the best way I know of overcoming the summer let-down. Call Oxford today at (905) 420-3141 for your free guide to summer learning activities called “Feeding Active Minds” or to find out how they can help your children get caught up or reach ahead this summer. Oxford Learning is Canada’s leading provider of supplemental and enrichment education servic- es. They will design an indi- vidualized learning program for your children to keep them sharp over the summer and get a head start on next year. Help your children enjoy learning this summer and return to school in September ready to learn with improved skills and greater confidence. Call Oxford today. Stay smart this summer Learning really can be a happy thing when students know how to learn. Oxford Learning's unique curriculum and internationally recognized assessment tools give students the skills to achieve better grades, more self confidence and increased motivation. 905-420-3141 PICKERING/AJAX www.oxfordlearning.com Reading Writing Math French Study Skills Summer Programs MONTESSORI LEARNING CENTRE PICKERING • Full Montessori Curriculum • Before & After School Daycare Hours • Optional Hot Lunch • Field Trips • Computer • Music • Phys.

While it doesn’t have a specific policy regarding monitoring res- idents in smoking rooms, the Province does say facilities are “responsible and accountable for ensuring residents are safe at all times,” said Tanya Cholakov, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Employee rights versus resi- dent rights is just the scenario that regional councillors debat- ed recently when they decided to not enforce the regional smoking bylaw in privately-run nursing homes. The bylaw says that smoking is banned in all public and work- places. But after receiving a legal challenge by an Oshawa long-term care facility, the Re- g ion decided to enforce the more lenient provincial Tobacco Control Act (TCA), which allows DSRs. The TCA will be used until the Province brings in a province- wide smoking ban, said Andy Al- lison, a lawyer for the Region. The Province is working on smoke-free legislation that will come into effect within three years, said Ms. Cholakov. The Region’s decision, be- cause it was part of in-camera legal proceedings, is considered an “administrative change” and not subject to official bylaw amendment procedures like a public meeting, Mr. Allison said. And that’s not right, said Charlie Renaud, a business agent for the SEIU. He plans on appearing before regional coun- cil on Wednesday, July 7 to ex- press his concerns and find out why employees never had a chance to speak before the deci- sion was made. Helen Northcott was thrilled when she heard nursing homes in the Region would finally be smoke free. Now she’s disap- pointed. “It’s sad that the Region just kind of caved into the demands of this one nursing home,” said the Oshawa resident, an on-call personal support worker for a private health company that services facilities across Durham. “If an employer is endangering a person by asking them to go into that environment, I think it’s ludicrous.” Ms. Northcott said residents often have to be wheeled into smoking rooms, and many have to wear fire-proof aprons to pre- vent them from lighting them- selves on fire. Ms. Holtrust is especially con- cerned about other residents at Versa-Care Uxbridge, as the smoking room there is not prop- erly ventilated and not up to TCA standards. “We have several people in our home on oxygen, and the smoke just goes all the way down the hallway,” she said. “If CPL wants to offer this service...they have to make sure there’s a properly ventilated room and they will not discipline staff” who do not want to go in. Up g rades are planned on the room, said Ms. Nestor. She said the room does meet safety and fire code regulations. A recent court case in Owen Sound found that a privately run nursing home is considered a residence rather than a work- place, meaning residents can smoke in a designated room. Ms. Holtrust is worried about the precedent this case and the one by the Oshawa facility are setting. She also feels having to sit and watch residents smoke takes away from other duties like help- ing residents eat or go to the washroom. Ms. Nestor said monitoring is “built into job routines” so other staff can cover off the rest of care. Meanwhile, the Region will de- cide whether to amend the smoking bylaw to allow DSRs in two Region-run and operated fa- cilities at its next council meet- ing July 7. Debate looks at employee rights versus residents’ ✦ Debate from page 1 A healthy career idea for students Board has a winner in program introducing kids to health care The Durham Board of Education may have found a way to help with the health-care crisis. The school board is encouraging students to get a jump- start on a health-care career with its innovative Health Educa- tion Alternative Learning Model (HEAL) to any student in Durham Region. The course is a one semester, four-credit course, for students in Grade 11-12 and fifth year returnees that will offer students the opportunity to learn about health care and medical tech- nologies both in the classroom and a placement setting. The curriculum covers medical practices and terminology, interper- sonal and teamwork skills, current health-care trends and ca- reer opportunities and other categories. HEAL is being offered at Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute beginning in September in Oshawa and is open to students from the Durham board who qualify. Application forms are available from the school. Only 22 students will be admitted each semester and the placements will include such facilities as group homes and dental offices. This course, which could be the answer to the health-care woes in Durham, is the brainchild of Marie Rayner of Durham Continuing Education. Ms. Rayner had a background as a reg- istered nurse before going into teaching a few years ago. It's her connection and passion for nursing and health care that prompted her to create this program. She is confident this course will provide students with the knowledge base they need as they head off to post-secondary institutions. This course is perfect for "someone with an interest in health care and sees their future in health care," she says. The registered nurse says students interested in becoming paramedics and nurses will be good candidates for the course. It's these types of innovative programs Durham requires to solve its doctor shortages and other 'human resource problems' in the region. Brian Lemon, Lakeridge Health Corporation chief executive officer, says this issue will create large holes in the health-care profession when aging doctors and nurses begin to consider retirement in the next 10 years or so, particu- larly in rural areas. These efforts will go a long way toward Durham solving its health-care problems. And these measures, although not huge now, could pay off extensive dividends down the road. Electorate misses boat once again To the editor: The results of Monday's federal elec- tion were, certainly to me, based on two vital factors: fear-mongering by the Lib- eral spin doctors and voter apathy. The electorate does not, and has never had to, fear the new Conservative Party of Canada. Undoubtedly it is sim- ply too early for the electorate to differ- entiate what that party presented as policy and what Paul Martin dictated that policy to be. Look at any of the federal depart- ments and their successes and/or fail- ures over the past many years including Finance where the massive debt was initially started by former prime minis- ter Pierre Trudeau. Look honestly at other departments, including Health, Justice (Criminal and Social), defence, Aboriginal rights, child poverty, home- lessness, etc. No, we do not have to fear the new Conservative Party. But now we may have to fear the dissolution of Canada. Both Quebec and Alberta have been disenfranchised from the rest of the na- tion by Liberal decisions. Similar senti- ment is undoubtedly felt in British Co- lumbia. How much longer will these Provinces put up with the continued voting pat- terns of Ontario? The road ahead is certainly becoming rockier by the moment. Will the Rockies and la Belle Province decide our fate in the future?

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 4, 2004 www.durhamregion.com No sympathy for the non-voter It's as certain as bad traffic when you're already late and broken election promises from a newly-elected politician: Voter apathy. In what some people saw as the most important election in decades, people stayed away from the ballot box like it was contami- nated with severe acute respirato- ry syndrome (SARS). We're a little higher than the national average, here in Ajax and Pickering, but not by much. Nationally voter turnout continued a downward trend over every election in recent memory, coming in at 60.5 per cent. I had no idea who I was about to vote for until I was behind the booth this time. I was almost par- alyzed by the options going in. Each party had positives and neg- atives and it was hard to pick be- tween their similar platforms. In a way, it would have been nice to see the Liberals go down based solely on the negative ads they ran smearing the opposition. It back- fired on Ernie Eves and if it had cost the federal Liberals this time, you would have seen a very differ- ent campaign style in future. We had a call at the office this week from a gentleman telling us our recent editorial was wrong in suggesting you exercise your right to vote by spoiling your ballot if you don't want to vote for any can- didates. He said the better option is to decline the vote. When I voted, I asked if I could decline the vote, but it's not an op- tion in a federal election, I was told. The polling station staff were taken aback by the question, so it was clear they hadn't had that question before. Still, I wasn't angry enough to spoil my ballot. It made an impression on them because after a discussion about it, they said they'd be looking for a ballot marked 'none of the above' and they'd know who had cast that one. Personally, I have a lot more re- spect for someone who pays atten- tion to the process and doesn't want to vote because the choices are all awful, rather than the eligi- ble voter who just doesn't make the time and effort to vote. From me to you, you're a dope if you're just too lazy to vote. As for the people who did drag their butts into a voting booth last Monday: kudos to you my friends.

The skin is also a host to many organisms such as bacteria, viruses, mites and other parasites. These organisms live with us in a symbiotic state. It is only when a normal balance is disturbed that skin diseases present themselves. Acne and acne rosacea are two conditions that can crop up at any time and affect the appearance of the skin. Red, rough or lumpy skin are usual presentations of rosacea. Hair loss is also a symptom. For fair skinned individuals, rosacea is more easily seen. Research has been ongoing in all parts of the world to combat rosacea infection. Many people find relief but others seem to be resistant to these treatments. In China, research has concentrated on a parasite called human demodex folliculorum mite. This microscopic worm infects over 98 per cent of adults, living in hair follicles or on hair or eyelashes. They also may reside in sebaceous glands of the face. A line of products has been formulated to address infestation by demodex. It is called Face Doctor. It is available in soap, cream and shampoo products. Face Doctor products use herbal ingredients to fight the parasite. The main ingredient is seabuckthorn oil. Several other ingredients, such as Vitamin E and aloe vera are added to soothe and protect the skin. Seabuckthorn Oil - Seabuckthorn is an extraordinary plant that has been recognized for centuries in Eurasia for its exceptional medicinal and nutritional benefits. The oil of seabuckthorn has general nourishing, revitalizing, and restorative action and can be used for acne, dermatitis, irritated, dry, itching skin, sore skin, eczema, skin ulcers, postpartum pigmentation, burns, scalds, cuts, and tissue regeneration. The stimulation of tissue regeneration is helpful in the treatment of burns, bedsores, poorly healing wounds. It helps reduce damaging effects of sun radiation. Seabuckthorn oil effectively combats wrinkles, dryness and other symptoms of malnourished or prematurely aging skin and is utilized in anti- aging skin creams and lotions. The berries appear to be an unsurpassed natural source of vitamins A and E, carotenes and flavonoids. Seabuckthorn berries are second only to Rose hips and Acerola in vitamin C content. They are also rich in several other vitamins, including B1, B2, K and P as well as in more than two dozens of microelements.

Not intended to solicit properties c urrently listed for sale. DURHAM REGION - When you sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before they’ve even given a chance of showing. You r asking price is often your home’s “first impression”, and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and price strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Taking a look at what homes in your neighbourhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and on it’s own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need)”. This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want.

A team of doctors in China isolated a small unseen parasite called human demodex that can cause people’s complexion to become rough, lumpy and reddish, as well as hair loss, premature aging of the skin, enlarged pores and acne. After over 30 years of research on over 900,000 patients worldwide, this team of doctors discovered that the use of seabuckthorn when combined with other ingredients and applied external- ly to the affected areas can kill the human demodex parasite and restore the skin to it’s natural beauty.

Of the 29 women who graduat- ed that year, 21 made it to Uxbridge recently for anniver- sary celebrations held at class- mate Grace D’Andrade’s house. Under a white tent offering shade on the bright June day, there was lots of laughter over the very dif- ferent times and experiences had by the 1950s nursing students. “We did get into trouble a lot,” recalled Margaret Knight, who introduced Mrs. D’Andrade, (then Ms. Leadlay) to her hus- band Maurice D’Andrade. “One teacher said we were bad influences on each other,” laughed Mrs. D’Andrade. Ms. Knight recalled a scary ex- perience while sneaking inside the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital after a late night out. Ms. Knight followed Mrs. D’Andrade in through a basement window. Mrs. D’Andrade, who was wear- ing a white dickey around the top of her dress, turned back for Ms. Knight, who mistook her for a patient and went running back toward the window. Along with the Oshawa hospi- tal, the women from across Durham Region had to work three months at Sick Kids and three at Whitby as part of their education. “What I remember about Whit- by is she (Ms. Knight) was al- ways getting our class into trou- ble because she slept in and we had prayers,” said Mrs. D’An- drade. To teach her to wake up on time, Ms. Knight’s classmates scooped her out of bed and dropped her into a bathtub of cold water while she was still sleeping. “I just sat there unable to speak,” said Ms. Knight. Nor did she speak to Mrs. D’Andrade for some time, either. Stories about hitchhiking home to Uxbridge, where both were from, and tales of class- mates who used to sunbathe on the roof - one would do so naked - were just a few of the laughs the two shared at the reunion. “We had a lot of fun in resi- dence, we were a tightknit bunch,” said Phyllis Burton, pre- viously Phyllis Crawforth. “I think the nurses today have missed out on that, living in resi- dences.” Although the girls managed to sneak in a lot of fun, there was also a lot of work involved with becoming a nurse in the 1950s. During their training they had to work 12 hours a day in the hospi- tal. There was a nightly curfew and they had to sign out and leave their home phone number or the number of the friend they were staying with when they went out overnight. A housemother would check in on them to make sure they were in bed and those who snuck out stuffed their beds to make it look as though they were in them. “It was very strict, you’d think They made memories together www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 4, 2004 PAGE 9 A/P AJAX-PICKERING AUDIOLOGY CLINIC 905-831-8311 1885 Glenanna Rd.

But as the 2004 school year winds down, so do his last days as a bus driver. At 71, Mr. Annand has decided it’s time to part with the big or- angey yellow school bus, which has brought him much pride and memories over the years, and re- tire from the job he took in 1967. “I’ve driven approximately 16 ,000 trips,” he says. “Over the years, I’ve stopped about a mil- lion cars, maybe more.” Walking through the grass to the full-length bus sitting in its own separate driveway, Mr. An- nand explains this vehicle is new, a perk which comes with being a senior driver. He opens its door, climbs the stairs, and then takes a quick look down the narrow aisle lined with grey seats. “It’s lost the new bus smell, es- pecially when you have three kids sick in one week,” he jokes, then takes a seat directly behind the driver’s chair he sits in each morning. Mr. Annand began driving a school bus when Scott Township, now part of Uxbridge, closed all of its small schools to open Scott Central Public School in Sand- ford. Kids couldn’t walk down the road to school anymore. Francis Hockley, along with his brother and cousin, started Scott Bus Lands to accommodate the new need. “He came to my place and wanted to know if I’d drive a bus,” says Mr. Annand, who was a dairy farmer at the time. “I said I’d try it for a while. A while turned out to be 37 years. “I remember it started on a Tuesday and by Thursday I won- dered what I’d gotten into,” he laughs. But he stayed. The children and the desire to get them safely to school each day gets in your blood, he says. The Durham District School Board recently recognized Mr. Annand for his 35 years of acci- dent-free driving. Although he has driven a bus for 37 years, two of them were as a substitute dri- ver. An earlier career highlight for Mr. Annand came while the buses were owned by Stock. Completing a written test and bus challenge, he won a safe dri- ving tournament. “Driving the bus is easy, but keeping the children riding safely is the hard part,” he says. “One of the trainers for Stock said ‘make up your mind every day that you’re not going to get in an acci- dent’,” he adds. “That sticks with you.” His current route number, ‘205’, is written in black marker on a piece of cardboard stationed in the bus’s front window. He’s been driving the route for 30 years, with the exception of some minor variances. The route has also been called ‘203’ and ‘H4’ in previous years. He has also spent time doing additional runs, such as a mid-day kindergarten route. “I drove second-generation children, which includes my three grandsons, and my two daugh- ters rode with me too,” he says. “The nice thing about driving a bus in the same community is you see the children grow and be- come responsible adults. “They’re like my family,” Mr. Annand adds. And similar to a real family, sad times have also been a part of his bus driving life. Over the years, five of the children who had at some point been passengers of his bus have died. “I felt kind of like they were family passing away,” he says, sinking in his seat. “You feel emo- tionally attached to the children and their families. “It can be kind of a lonesome job,” he adds. “You’re alone watching out for these 45 chil- dren, you can’t really turn around and talk to them because you have to watch the road.” But there are many good mem- ories as well, such as getting the kids back each fall and seeing they’ve grown two inches over the summer, driving his daughters and grandchildren to school, get- ting lots of chocolates for Christ- mas from the kids, as well as giv- ing them bags of chips and treats in return. “I’ve had a child who didn’t want to get off the bus,” he chuck- les. “He didn’t want to go to school. He was alright on the bus.” A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 4, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Safely Home ¸ Alzheimer Wandering Registry People with Alzheimer Disease or related dementia sometimes lose the ability to recognize familiar places, to communicate or to remember their own names and addresses.

Later they earned caps to go with their uniforms and the cap’s band changed colour with their advancement in the program. “I think it’s terrible they don’t have caps now, we worked so hard for those caps,” said Ms. Guest.

By prevailing 14-13 in overtime against the Brampton Excelsiors Wednesday, the Redmen not only moved within striking distance of Brampton, the first place occupant in the Major Series standings, they also managed their first victory in three tries this season against the defending Major Series champion. Gavin Prout’s goal with 10 sec- onds remaining (his third of the game) in the extra session proved to be the difference. Kasey Beirnes, with four, rookie Ashton McLean and Scott Stapleford each had a pair while Mike Morrison, Shawn Williams and Jason Crosbie rounded out the Redmen attack. Brooklin’s sixth goal, coming early in the second period, sent Ex- celsior netminder Bob Watson to the bench in favour of Brandon Miller. Tr ailing 6-1, the visitors seemed to respond, eventually tying the score at eight early in the third. While Brooklin would take leads of 10-8 and 11-10, the Excelsiors hung around, tying the score on both oc- casions and forcing overtime with just nine seconds remaining. Brooklin (8-3) moved to within two points of Brampton (9-3) in the Major Series standings. Today, the Redmen are complet- ing a two-game weekend stint in Windsor against the hapless War- locks (0-11) before returning home for a Wednesday game against the St. Catharines Major Athletics. Canada Day split for Dodgers DURHAM – Canada’s birthday gave a mixed bag of gifts to the Os- hawa Dodgers. Af ter Darryl Reid’s two-run home run gave the Dodgers a come from behind 4-3 win over the Strat- ford Storm in the first game of an In- tercounty League doubleheader Thursday, the home side stormed back in game two, winning by a 9-3 count. A six-run sixth inning proved to be the difference. Mick Kurhan hit a two-run shot for Oshawa. Matt Tosoni (2-1) picked up the win for Oshawa in the opener. Adam Clarke (1-4) was tagged with the loss in the night-cap. Heading into last night’s game in Guelph against the Royals, the Dodgers had a chance at splitting the four-game road trip. Oshawa was pounded Wednesday night in To r onto by the Maple Leafs, 16-1. Tim Smith’s second inning solo home run was one of the few Dodger bright spots on the evening. Smith, the left- fielder, also reportedly tallied an unassisted tackle of an elusive streaker. Pickering swimmer earns scholarship ride at Hawaii By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — A Pickering swim- mer is headed to the land of the big kahuna, grass skirts and Don Ho to begin his collegiate career. Kur tis Miller signed on for a four-year scholarship to the Uni- versity of Hawaii in Honolulu where he’ll join the Rainbow War- riors team. He’s convinced the university fits him like a Hawai- ian lei. “I figured it’s not a bad place to be for the next four years,” says the 18-year-old Dunbarton High School graduate and a member of the Scarborough Swim Club. “It’s a really good swim team. There are a lot of Australians there who make up about half the team. It’s very well balanced in academics as well as athletics. That played a huge part in my decision.” One of his first orders of duty with the Hawaiian team in the fall is competing at an open water swim meet. It will be held on a beach off the coast of Wakiki. “That should be awesome,” he says. Miller had plenty to consider in terms of what university to at- tend. In addition to Hawaii, he mulled over offers from Texas A&M, Nevada-Las Vegas, Ari- zona State and Ohio State. He paid official visits to all these schools, with the exception of Ohio, before making his decision. He cites the coaches, including head coach Mike Anderson, as another reason why Hawaii be- came his first choice. “I really enjoyed the coaching staff and I really got along with the other swimmers,” says Miller. “I found that really important.” A sprinter in the pool, Miller says he expects to swim in some of the relay events. He lists as his specialties the 50-metre and 100m freestyle, 50m and 100m backstroke and the 50m and 200m butterfly. And, he expects to compete at Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and at the NCAA champi- onships during his first year. “I think I can take it to the NCAAs,” he says. “We have the conference championships in Fe bruary and the NCAAs in March. I’m hoping to make NCAA cuts and make it to na- tionals. They’re all world-class athletes at the NCAA, so we’ll see what happens.” Miller says his 10 years with the Scarborough club have prepared him well to make the next step into the collegiate ranks. “It’s an extremely challenging program there. We’re using the same program the universities are using, so I won’t have to change too much when I go down there,” he says. This month, Miller competes at the Canadian Olympic Trials at the Etobicoke Olympium Pool in To ronto July 6 to 9. He’ll swim the 50m and 100m free and 100m back. He heads in coming off a two-month layoff, due to fatigue. “That kind of hurt my chances, but I’m going there looking for experience; I’m not too worried about 2004 — I’m more worried about 2008. I think I’m going to have a better shot in 2008,” he said of seeking an Olympic berth. He does, however, believe he’ll make it to the finals in all three of his events. Miller leaves for Hawaii in mid- Aug ust and begins training al- most immediately. He’ll study criminology. Ku r tis Miller’s the big kahuna now A.J.

Speaking from a hotel near Carolina just a day after being selected in the second round, 41st overall by the Chicago Black- hawks at Saturday’s NHL Entry Draft, Bickell touched on his plans for the summer during his in- ter view. While he will spend most of the next couple of months on activities that could help him become ca- pable of playing in the world’s best hockey league, that’s not all that’s on his itinerary. “I asked if it was all right if I played baseball, and they said as long as I don’t get hurt,” said the 18-year- old Orono resident. For a nominal fee this summer, you can watch Bickell patrol centre field for his Kendal Royals ju- nior baseball team at Har- vey Jackson Memorial Park in Kendal. In the fu- ture, you will be charged significantly more to watch the talented for- ward suit up for one of the original six members of the NHL. Bickell’s name was an- nounced and posted on the large draft board on the floor of the arena that is home to the Carolina Hurricanes shortly after 3 p.m. on Saturday, when the Blackhawks snapped up the 6-foot-3, 210-pound winger, who has played major junior hockey the past two seasons with the Ottawa 67’s. “I was relieved it was over,” said Bickell of his initial thoughts upon hear- ing his name announced over the public address system. “I was thinking that now I can move on and do what I have to get to the next step.” Bickell was one of two players the Blackhawks selected in consecutive rounds, snatching Oshawa resident Adam Berti of the Oshawa Generals in the third round, 68th overall. Both players are of the same ilk. “Both Bickell and Berti are big, power forward left- wingers,” noted amateur scout Tim Higgins on the team’s Web site. “Both have a good competitive edge to them and both are willing to fight, so you’ve got grinding type players that Chicago Blackhawks fans like to see.” Bickell expressed some surprise about being taken by the Blackhawks. In the last couple of days leading up to the draft, Atlanta, Vancouver and San Jose had been most aggressive in their pursuit through meetings. “(Chicago) wasn’t really looking too much into me,” he said, noting he met with Atlanta the most, three times. Projected to be a late first- or early second- round pick, Bickell wasn’t disappointed about when, or where, he went. “I was pretty relaxed through the whole thing,” he said of the anticipation. “I never really expected to go in the first round, but it would have been nice. I was happy to go in the sec- ond round to Chicago. I hear it’s a nice city.” Bickell was scheduled to attend a prospects camp in Chicago this week and running through to July 5. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 4, 2004 PAGE 13 P CANADIAN TIRE PICKERING ONLY 1735 Pickering Parkway (at Brock Road), Pickering • 905-686-2308 CANNOT BE USED WITH ANY OTHER PROMOTION. *MUST PRESENT COUPON AT TIME OF BOOKING.

Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart says that a home renovation project should be a well thought out decisions. It could cost thousand of dollars and will affect your family for many years so enlisting the help of an expert is key. The first step is information gathering. Visit showrooms, websites and publications to learn what products are available on the market. Get an overview and then narrow it down to what you real- ly want. “The next step is having a face-to-face meet- ing with a specialist, not a generalist,” says Sam. “It’s important to work with a person you feel com- fortable with. A rapport has to be established as well as a bond of trust” HIRE A SPECIALIST General contractors usually have the skill to oversee an entire project and often contract out spe- cific parts of it. Specialists focus on one trade. They do it day-in, day-out. They usually work faster because there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to the work at hand. Sam says that consumers should look for spe- cialists such as those at Plumbing Mart, who can give them exact start dates, progress time and a sub- stantive completion date. “Buyers should be careful about vague time- lines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor can start work in July, does that mean at the beginning of July or a the end of the month? Your life could be turned upside down for a whole month.” Consumers should also ask how long a con- tractor has been in business. A contractor that just started his business may have great intentions, but may not be able to respond appropriately if an unforeseen problem is encountered. “Plumbing Mart has been in business for more than 40 years. If there is a problem we can make five phone calls and come up with five differ- ent solutions.” An established specialist will also have expe- rienced several home renovating trends throughout the years and come with its own innovations. WARRANTY Wa r ranty is a key point. Always ask if it cov- ers the product, service, labour, or all three. If a bathtub comes with a manufacturer’s warranty only, will your contractor remove it at no cost so that you can claim your warranty from the manufacturer? Is the cost of labour going to be charged to you? Only a specialist that stands behind all facets of its work can give consumers the peace of mind that they deserve. IT’S YOUR DREAM When telling your chosen renovator about your dream room, will that person follow your agen- da or his? A good renovator should be able to think outside the box and have the resources to deliver what you want. Once you have agreed on an idea, that renovator should shop for all parts needed to complete the job. Ensure that your renovator also commits to disposing of garage and to leaving your home clean so that your family can start to enjoy the newly ren- ovated kitchen or bathroom right away.

Kay Brown (nee Reid), late of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, and earlier St. Cathe- rines. Kay was born on September 30, 1914 in Louin Mississippi, the last of eight. Kay carried re- sponsibilities early, caring for both her mother and father when in poor health. While caring for them at home, she taught at a nearby business college. As the Second World War loomed, Kay moved to Washington, D.C. where executive employment for women was growing rapidly, becoming the Confi- dential Secretary to the Chief of Naval Operations up until the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thereafter she enlisted in the Women Marines, rising to the rank of Captain, eventually serving as Assistant Adjutant at Quantico Marine Air Station. There she met her husband to be, Glenn C., the Adjutant, whom she subsequently married in 1945. They relocated to Hawaii, then to California, where they had Glenn R. She took up a variety of executive responsibilities with Hunt Foods, two local TV stations and all three stations affiliated with national networks, as well as the original Disneyland, while working on a commu- nications degree at the University of Southern Cali- fornia. As Glenn C. finished training in photography, they moved to Garden Grove and established a photo studio and home, together with their son Glenn R., retiring in the 1980s as Glenn C.'s health declined. After several years of caring for Glenn C.'s declining health, and after his death, Kay relocated in 1987 to St. Catherines to be with Glenn R., his wife Helen, and their daughter Adrienne. Kay quick- ly made many friends in her condominium and in the series of churches which she affiliated. She achieved and maintained an independent living which she enjoyed for several years. In the mid nineties her own health declined, and eventually she moved to a nursing home in Oshawa to be clos- er to her family. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter, many nieces and nephews, numberless cousins and "kissing cousins". The memorial service will be held on Wednesday, July 7, 2004 at 3 pm at Garden City Baptist Church, 265 Linwell Road, St. Catherines. A luncheon and time of fellowship to follow at the church. Interment will be later in California at the National Veteran's Cemetery in Long Beach, next to her "sweetheart" Glenn C.. In lieu of flowers, dona- tions may be sent to World Vision's work in Africa.

Press council sides with reader PICKERING – The Ontario Press Council has upheld a complaint against the Pickering News Adver- tiser over a line in a humour col- umn. Both the News Advertiser and Pickering resident Fred Holmes, who filed the complaint, submitted written arguments to a panel of press council members at a recent hearing. The following is the text of the adjudication: Fred Holmes of Pickering com- plained that a sentence in a hu- mour column published in the Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser on Feb. 4 was “racist, sexist and ageist.” Describing the Victorian home in which he lives, columnist Neil Crone wrote: “But I have to tell you, she loses heat faster than a menopausal Eskimo.” The newspaper defended the ar- ticle, citing Ontario Press Council policy that says it is appropriate for columnists to exercise wide lat- itude in expressing their opinions. It said it was frustrated in its ef- forts to reach out to Mr. Holmes. The Ontario Press Council en- courages readers to first give newspapers an opportunity to re- dress a complaint and it regrets that Mr. Holmes did not accept an invitation to write a letter to the editor. It nevertheless sees the sentence as distasteful, insensitive and of- fensive. In upholding the com- plaint, the press council suggests that rather than waiting for a let- ter to the editor, the News Adver- tiser should have published a brief note of apology. Teens can join the volunteer crew DURHAM – Youths have the chance to help their community and them- selves at the same time.
