HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2006_10_22Pickering senior left in lurch, worker has to adjust schedule By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Now entering its third week, a strike by Durham Region Transit (DRT) workers is impacting more than just man- agement and staff. Across the Region, DRT cus- tomers are having to find alter- nate means to get on with their day, and in some cases they aren’t able to get around at all. Pickering resident Ken Devine said DRT is one of his main modes of transportation. “I use it to get to and from work,” Mr. Devine said. But, since the strike started, he said he has had no choice but to only take weekend shifts at his part-time job so he can use his girlfriend’s car to get there. “Work has been very accom- modating,” he said. During the week, however, Mr. Devine isn’t able to get to doc- tor’s appointments or to see his daughter in north Whitby. “(The strike) does limit you in what you can do and what you can’t do,” Mr. Devine said. Hazel Stork, a senior living in Pickering, said she has felt the ef- fects of the strike as well. “I have no way of getting about,” Ms. Stork said. “It has been hard with this tran- sit strike.” She has missed an appoint- ment with a specialist because a cost estimate for the trip from a taxi company was between $50 and $60. She then called DRT special- ized service to see if they could help her. “The man who I called said, ‘Sorry we are on strike, we cannot help you’,” Ms. Stork said. Unable to get groceries or do errands, Ms. Stork is also unable to babysit her granddaughters as she normally does. She said she worries about what she will do if the strike con- tinues much longer.

The Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at the U of T Scarborough campus is interested in using part of a house on the west- ern spit as a base for environmental research and public education. “This particular location would give us a site that is very different (from our campus),” said Donald Cormack, chairman of the depart- ment of the house on Beachpoint Promenade. In a letter to Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner at the beginning of the month, Mr. Cor- mack said the facility they have in mind would support interdisciplin- ary field research of the faculty, as well as graduate and undergradu- ate students. It would also provide the opportunity for school groups to come and learn. “Public education, in my mind, is an important element of this,” he said. Coun. Brenner said the Water- front Co-ordinating Committee, of which he is the chairman, is inter- ested in an environmental learning centre. “I was ecstatic,” he said of receiv- ing the letter. “It was something that we’ve talked about for a long time. To have the potential to have a pro- gram of that magnitude in the City of Pickering speaks volumes.” The property is owned by the City of Pickering and Toronto and Re- I DON’T WANT IT, YOU TAKE IT A.J.

But, she committed to looking into ways to reduce the environ- mental assessment (EA) time frame. “My position is that if I can help you remove the barriers then it is my job to do so and I am quite prepared to work and support and push for those,” Ms. Cansfield said. However, she rebut- ted claims Durham Region doesn’t get it’s fair share of provincial funding. “Durham is getting their fair share, it is based on the need, it is based on the status of the roads and or bridges,” Ms. Cansfield said. “There is a good amount of work going on.” She said there has been $165 million spent on Dur- ham highways in recent years, including $61 million to widen Hwy. 401 from Harwood Avenue to Salem Road, and $11 million to re- pave a portion of Hwy. 35. Earlier this year, Durham municipalities received a total of $22.4 million under the Move Ontario program to use on roads and bridges of their choosing and $7 million in provincial gas tax funding. “O ntario has not received what we consider our fair share of infrastructure fund- ing from the federal govern- ment,” Ms. Cansfield said. “Ontario has been short changed by $1.2 billion since 2001.” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he didn’t hear anything that indicated any actual improvements in the near future. “I appreciate the minister’s interest in Durham Region,” Mr. Anderson said. “But what we need is the minister’s in- fluence in speeding up the EA process, moving forward on the Hwy. 407 and Hwy. 7 far faster than it has been.” By the sounds of what he heard, he said an EA won’t be filed until 2008. “So there likely won’t even be a decision on 2009,” Mr. Anderson said. “We are look- ing a long way out and that is not acceptable.” He said the same goes for Hwy. 7. “We had an agreement with the Province,” Mr. An- derson said. “That should have been done a long time ago.” He said it’s good that the minister understands the is- sues, like the influence Seaton will have on infrastructure.

The couple routinely uses DRT’s specialized ser- vice and, in the summer months, they are able to take advantage of the regu- lar buses that are wheel- chair accessible. Since the beginning of the transit strike on Oct. 5 the Pearsons have had trouble doing their errands and activities. “It is hard for us to get around,” Ms. Pearson said. She wants to get started on her Christmas shop- ping, which she normally does at the Oshawa Cen- tre, but since the strike she isn’t able to get there. Mr. Pearson’s doctor is in Brooklin, but without buses he can’t make it to the office. The couple has placed phone calls to councillors and the mayor of Whitby, whose staff directed them to specialized services. Staff at specialized services told the Pearsons if they need to get to doctor’s ap- pointments they could take a cab and bill the Region, but not for other errands. “It is not fair to have to depend on our family to get around,” Ms. Pearson said. The Canadian Auto Wo rkers (CAW) Union, Local 222, went out on strike Oct. 5 after failing to negotiate a first contract agreement. Workers and manage- ment don’t see eye to eye on issues of retiree ben- efits, cost of living adjust- ment (COLA) and con- tracting out, among others. No further talks have been scheduled between DRT and the CAW. Duffin Heights neighbourhood is an approved development area in the City of Pickering. This area is centrally located on both sides of Brock Road between Rossland Road and Taunton Road, bounded to the north by the C.P. Rail, to the east by the municipal boundary with the Town of Ajax, to the south by the hydro transmission tower line, and to the west by the West Duffin Creek, as shown below. The development area is mainly comprised of tablelands on both sides of Brock Road and between watercourse valleys. This development area is located north of the existing residential area. The City of Pickering Official Plan identifies this area as Duffin Heights Neighbourhood 15. The Region Municipality of Durham is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the provision of regional water supply and sanitary sewerage services in support of land development within the Duffin Heights neighbourhood.

Durham Regional Police report a four-door Saturn was travelling west- bound on Taunton Road when it col- lided with a Honda minivan heading north on Westney Road. The accident happened around 3 p.m. and traffic was snarled for sev- eral hours as police investigated the incident. Witnesses report the driver of the Saturn went through a red light and collided with the van. A woman and her sons, ages 5 and 3, were taken to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital and treated for minor injuries. The deceased is Barry Snoddon. Metroland Durham Region Media Group The existing Rosebank Sanitary Sewage Pumping Station (SPS), located at 563 Rodd Avenue in the City of Pickering, requires upgrades to provide additional sanitary sewage pumping capacity for increased sewage fl ows from development within the Rosebank neighbourhood, in accordance with the Regional and Pickering Offi cial Plans. Due to the proposed increase in sewage pumping capacity, the existing forcemain conveying sewage fl ow from the SPS to the existing gravity sewer on Park Crescent, crossing Petticoat Creek and Petticoat Creek Conversation Area on an existing easement, may need to be upgraded. A new forcemain of larger size, or twin forcemain, is being considered. A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) is being conducted to identify the need for an upgrade to the SPS, as well as determining possible alternative locations for the SPS. A number of alternatives are being evaluated. The preferred alternative for the SPS location, as well as the forcemain location if required, will be chosen. The community’s input is important to the overall analysis and fi nal recommendation. In order to provide an opportunity for discussion, a Public Information Centre is planned to: • Provide the need and justifi cation of the project • Present background information • Present the alternatives, evaluation and the preferred solution • Obtain public input Representatives of the Regional Municipality of Durham and the consultant, R.V. Anderson Associates Limited, will be present, to describe the work plan and address any questions. The Public Information Centre will be held at: Place: Petticoat Creek Community Centre – Franklin Room 470 Kingston Road West, Pickering Date: November 23, 2006, Thursday Time: 4 to 9 p.m. Following the Public Information Centre, the consultant will proceed with a fi nal evaluation of all alternatives, giving consideration to comments received from the public and interested agencies, and will make a recommendation on the preferred location of the pumping station, as well as the preferred alignment of the forcemain. Yo ur input to our planning process is important. To make your comments known to the project team, please attend the Public Information Centre.

Anticipat- ing problems before they occur is the best way to maintain trouble free feet, for there is no truer statement than the one that says, “when your feet hurt, you hurt all over”. Suffering from ATHLETES FEET? When getting dressed in the morning, make sure you put your socks on fi rst, before your underwear. This will mini- mize the chance of spreading the infec- tion to the groin and causing jock itch. When BUYING NEW SHOES, make sure you do so in the later part of the day to ensure a proper fi t. Feet may swell as the day goes on, so that a shoe bought in the morning may feel snug as the day progresses. Greater attention should be paid to feet in the WINTER with respect to dry skin and the use of moisturizer creams. This is because the winter’s air is less humid than summer’s. Women are also more apt to wear nylons in the winter. JOGGERS should always re- member that the pitch of a road is always higher in the centre and low- er at the curbs (for drainage purposes). This will affect the functional length of the legs of a person jogging, whereby the curb leg is forced to be the longer leg. Change the side of the road you are jogging on halfway through your run, in the same way you would change the direction of your run when jogging on a banked track. DIABETICS should always take the time to dry their feet well especially between the toes and should cream their feet regularly but NEVER be- tween the toes. HEAT should never be applied to an injured area un- til the swelling has subsided. Heat will cause blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood fl ow to the area, causing more swelling and possi- ble tissue damage. During a kilometer of running your foot will strike the ground between 500 and 750 times with a force of up to four times your body weight. The force de- pends on the length of your stride and your body weight. The human body is made up pf 70 per cent water and its need for water increases tremendously with exertion. This is because fl uids are lost not only through perspiration, but also by in- creased breathing. FLUID REPLAC- MENT should occur before, during and after the activity. FACT OR MYTH: Corns have roots. This is a MYTH. A corn is a build up of dead skin against a boney prominence because of shoe pressure. They will re- cur even after being paired down. FACT OR MYTH: No pain no gain. This is a MYTH as pain is a signal sent out by your body to slow down or pay attention to a specifi c part of the body. Continuing the activity will only worsen the problem, taking longer to recover. FACT OR MYTH: Gout is a rich man’s disease. This is a MYTH as gout can occur in anyone who has suffered diffi culty me- tabolizing uric acid. At one time it was thought to occur in people whose diets included red meats and alcohol. FA CT OR MYTH: An adult foot will never increase in size. This is a MYTH as feet can lengthen at least one shoe size when the longi- tudinal arch collapses. This is seen in people as they age, gain weight or in women during pregnancy.

Mushrooms are cholesterol-free, low in calories, fat and carbohydrates and contain no trans fats. Mushrooms also contain an extensive list of essential vitamins and min- erals such as ribofl avin, thiamin, niacin, folate, vitamin D and selenium. Most Canadians are unaware of the dietetic benefi ts of Canadian mushrooms. Tw o important nutrients in mushrooms are vitamin D and selenium. Health professionals tell us we don’t get enough vitamin D in our diets and mushrooms are a great source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is the most prominent vita- min found in mushrooms. Vitamin D assists in the absorp- tion of dietary calcium, and plays an important role in the prevention of osteoporosis. Another important nutrient is selenium. Selenium is an essential mineral that works with vitamin E to produce antioxidants that help to prevent cell damage from free radicals. Free radicals are natural by-products of oxygen metabolism. It is these free radicals that can cause chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. One serving of mushrooms provides about 10% of the recommended daily value for selenium. Mushrooms play a large part in weight control because mushrooms have no trans fat, contain no cholesterol and are low in carbohydrates. They are sim- ple to prepare and good to eat. Mush- rooms add essential nutrients to any meal without adding calories. Overall, mushrooms not only taste great, but also help main- tain healthy bodies. Another reason to incorporate fresh mushrooms into your dinner. Start with either of these recipes below for a great mushroom dinner tonight, tomorrow and beyond.

It is Thursday Oct. 26 from 6 to 9 p.m., and Friday Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Oshawa campus, 2000 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa. Those attending will get the opportunity to tour the campus and learn about the programs and courses offered, as well as the support services available on campus, such as how to best make the transition from high school to post-secondary education and manage a budget. They’ll also learn about opportunities available through the college’s student association and stu- dent life office, and more. Participants can enter the campus from Simcoe Street North and proceed to the Founders 3 park- ing lot. RE YOU BEING SERVED?A Part 4 of 4: Websites DURHAM REGION This site is very linear with logos and artwork providing an easy map of the site. The main two columns are heavy on text, light on graphics, which would make it easy for rural residents to load the page. The site offers up lots of information and press releases are prominent which provides transparency and allows the public to know what the municipality is up to. A career opportunities link is helpful. One complaint is that e-mail veri- fication is vague and then you have to scroll down to discover that your message was sent; there is no indication to scroll down for more information. About Durham provides comprehensive information -- it’s like Civics 101. Any services the Region pro- vides are listed and easy to find. For the most part, it’s two clicks and you have your answer. OSHAWA The webmaster earns kudos for keeping everything to one screen, even on a laptop. There’s nothing more annoying than having to scroll down to see the information you’re seeking. This sharp-looking home page has lots of links and a scrolling list of topical headlines and news items. One strike is the fact the title of Durham MPP John O’Toole is incorrect on the website, but to be fair, his riding’s name was changed not that long ago. All the sites have directories, but Oshawa’s is outstanding and offers up hundreds of frequently used phone numbers in Osha- wa and beyond. The FAQ about bylaws, rules, etcetera is very good. The questions and answers portion spells out everything in simple terms. The first thing we learn about is how to deal with messy neighbours. You must clear your own sidewalks or else pay the piper when the City does it for you. It’s on the website, so you’re forewarned. CLARINGTON At first blush there is a whack of informa- tion in the first page and a half on the Clarington site. The columnar layout is easy to navigate and gives the home a crisp, clean look. It’s very inviting to the user and loads quickly, which is even more important. Users are blessed by the “most requested pages” section which takes them on a quick tour of the site. We loved the council page with its pictures, biographies and e-mail links to the elected officials. The only issue is the fact there are a number of pages featuring these people. For those of you who work away on a computer and don’t like to surf a bunch of different sites, Clarington lends a hand with its link to Clarington weather from the Weather Network website. There’s even a clock on the pages. Phone numbers are featured down the left menu of the help and support pages. This simple feature goes a long way to answering cus- tomer service needs. There are loads of links, including construction, headlines with vital infor- mation including how seniors can get help with sidewalk clearing. It’s hard to find fault with this site. PICKERING This very slick, home page earns the thumbs-up for fitting on one laptop screen. The layout is very clean and there’s not a lot of wasted area. The homepage loads quickly with no broken links, although in the left menu some of the pop-ups overlap other links when rolled over. This flaw makes it difficult to make some of the links work on the first click. The stylish icons take you to six information portals. The best is the kids page which is found through the lifestyle section. This impressive area has lots of neat innovation. It can be slow, but the kids section is one of a kind when it comes to municipal websites. It’s easy to imagine this site being referenced for homework assignments. The rolladex of local businesses is extremely helpful given the size of Pickering. The council page offers up contacts with pic- tures of the motley crew and e-mail addresses. It’s a nice touch. Unlike some municipal websites, the home page is always one click away. You never have to worry about ending up on a page and not having the chance to get back to home page. BROCK There is nothing flashy about the Brock web- site. This ‘plain Jane’ site is easy to navigate with its folder hierar- chy. This site is designed for the simplistic, throw- back PC user. As plain as it is, it is effective and useful. The site is exceedingly informative and spells out quite clearly what ser- vices are available to residents. It’s a surprisingly fast site which should satisfy the needs of this rural community. SCUGOG The home page is heavy on text but has a useful menu of quick links down the left side. Most importantly, the text ele- ments make it easier to load the pages. This is a must where many residents still have dial-up access to the Internet. The “how can we help” pages offer service information on the home page. If you send a question to the site administrator, you are informed your message has been sent at the top of the page. There’s no guesswork here.There is an impressive list of site links and it is augmented by a good rolladex of phone numbers and contact information. The FAQ of nine links on the home page leaves little to be desired. UXBRIDGE This website is old school. It’s not bad if you want a simple easily opened web page. It likely has something to do with dial- up access. Regardless, the site lacks a polished look as compared to other municipalities. There are eight buttons with links to all services offered by the Township. It can be time-consuming finding what you want but with a little perseverance you can get it. The list of municipal election candidates doesn’t say how many will be elected for each position. Assume only one for each ward, but the site doesn’t tell you definitively. When booking facilities everyone in town must still want to use the phone, rather than e-mail. Despite its shortcomings this site does a good job of providing all the necessary information to its residents. AJAX For those users who want to visit a pretty site, Ajax is the place. The home page features a large image show- ing one aspect of Ajax. The home page has about a dozen links in various forms, but each is easy to understand and leads to useful informa- tion. Even with a large image dominating the top third of the homepage, it loads quickly. One click gets you to the information pages where you’ll find lots of links about To w nship services. A little house- keeping might be in order as the only jobs posting on the careers page closed over a month ago. There is useful informa- tion about Ajax for prospective businesses and residents coming to town. The statistical analysis of Ajax paints a rosy picture and is an enhancement that makes the website stand out. WHITBY Well, in a word, wow. This is the best way to describe the Town of Whitby website. If you want to find any information about Whitby, it appears to be all there, and best of all, on the home page. The portal into Whitby is chock full of useful links which take you where you want quickly. The pages load fast and aren’t cluttered with useless graphics. Nothing here is for show, everything is about customer service. Whitby wins for its cool factor. Who wouldn’t love its GPS type tool which allows people to find out what’s available for purchase, lease or rent in Whitby? Wa nt to find a commercial property with 1,299 square feet for rent, you’ll find out in about 10 seconds in what Whitby has to offer. This is by far the best innovation on any local municipal website. This site is very fun to browse and you could spend hours zooming around looking for information. Are You Being Served is a four-part series looking at municipal ser- vice from the first-person perspective. We sent anonymous journalists to get a taxpayer’s view of service at municipal departments, recycling at municipal facilities, energy conservation and municipal web sites. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 22, 2006 DURHAM — The Alzheimer Soci- ety of Durham Region is offering a series of information sessions in No- vember with topics that will provide help for family caregivers of people with dementia.

Many don’t know the symbol started here in Durham. In 1992, Sue Sims, volunteer co-ordina- tor with the Durham Children’s Aid Society (DCAS), decided to come up with a symbol to promote Child Abuse Prevention Month, observed every year in October. At the time, ribbons were becoming pop- ular and she settled on a bright purple, hoping it would catch on. DCAS started using the symbol that same year and not long after, it was adopted by Children’s Aid Societies across Ontario. This October, 44 Children’s Aid Societies across the province are participating in the purple ribbon campaign and the Use Your Vo ice campaign, which encourages people to be a voice for children who are unable to speak up, by reporting abuse or suspected abuse. The DCAS conducted 3,901 investiga- tions into suspected abuse and neglect last year, or about 75 calls per week -- a statistic Executive Director Jim Dubray calls “ap- palling.” The local agency has seen a steady three to four per cent increase in calls over the past several years, attributed in part to a growing local population and legislative changes requiring professionals to report suspected abuse. DCAS relies on the community to be its eyes and ears, but there is still a stigma when it comes to reporting abuse. “These may be friends, relatives or neigh- bours, so people may be very uncomfort- able calling CAS,” Mr. Dubray said. “But they have to think about how scared that child might be or what might happen if they don’t report it.” A recent study commissioned by the On- tario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) reveals 87 per cent of Ontarians know they have a duty to report actual or suspected abuse. However, many don’t citing barriers like fear of retribution, con- fusion as to what constitutes abuse or the belief that it is none of their business. “The survey makes it clear that there is still a stigma associated with reporting the suspected maltreatment of a child,” said Jeanette Lewis, OACAS executive director. “This must change, because every child has the right to a happy and healthy child- hood.” The DCAS currently has 922 children in care. In 2005-06, the most common inves- tigation types were physical harm, neglect and domestic violence. Purple ribbons and donation boxes are available throughout Durham Region this month. In addition to raising awareness, the campaign raises funds for the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation, supporting ed- ucation, recreation and skills development programs. For information about DCAS and the local campaign, visit www.durhamcas.com. For information about the signs and indi- cators of physical, sexual and emotional abuse and how to contact a local Children’s Aid Society, visit www.useyourvoice.ca. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo The Durham Children’s Aid Society is promoting its Use Your Voice Campaign. Children’s Aid volunteers Sue Sims and Carol Martel, and Andrea Maenza from Communications, display the purple ribbons and bracelets. The smart way to learn is at Grade Expectations Learning Centres Learning is not always easy. For some it can be a diffi cult and frustrating experience. Since 1993 Grade Expectations Learning Cen- tres® have been helping young people reach their full potential in a productive learning environment. With a new location in Whitby that opened last fall, Grade Expectations Learning Centres offer individualized tutoring programs specifi cally de- signed with your child’s needs in mind. This is achieved through a series of compre- hensive standardized diagnostic tests that de- termine your child’s academic strengths, abilities and areas requiring attention. The assessment consists of a review of your child’s school history and assignments. Also with your consent there is continuing dialogue with your child’s classroom teacher. This partnership between teachers and the student maximizes their learning potential. Taught in private classrooms of no more than three students, an Ontario certifi ed teacher follows the detailed lesson plan created from the results of the assessment. The small class sizes create an atmosphere where communication and learning fl ourish. Director Rosana Gardner says that students at- tend classes two hours each week and reports are given to the parents after the second week, fourth week and then every four weeks. Of course teachers are always available to give you ongoing feedback on your child’s progress. “While it’s recommended that students attend classes for a minimum of fi ve months,” she explains. “You can continue the pro- gram with no obligation on a month to month ba- sis.” Grade Expectation Learning Centres started in 1993 and today has 34 Canadian owned and operated locations in Ontario. Grade Expectation Leaning centre is located at 701 Rossland Rd. (upper level) in Whitby. For more information call (905) 430-3799.

Foster, Heard join elite group of club members By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Seeing the other Wall of Fame plaques adorning the Pickering Recreation Complex pool was all the motivation needed for Allison Foster to someday want to join that select company. Now, the 14-year-old national-cal- ibre swimmer and fellow clubmate Kaleigh Heard, 15, will take their place among the elite, national- and international-level swimmers in the club after they were honoured at the Pickering Swim Club’s annual awards night recently. “I remember walking on the deck and seeing the wall and I was like, ‘I want my face to go on that wall too’,” says Foster. Heard and Foster, who each made their debuts at the senior nationals in Montreal last July, are just the seventh and eighth swimmers to be enshrined on the Wall of Fame in the 33-year history of the Pickering Swim Club. They’ll join former Olympians Lisa Flood and Laura Nicholls, among others. In addition to swimming at na- tionals, Heard and Foster, both sprint and distance freestylers, were members of the first relay team from the Pickering club to ever qualify for senior nationals. They were joined on the team by Jessica Ward and Danielle Gomba, both previous Wall of Fame inductees. Competing at senior nationals this past summer, says Foster, who’s still a junior-level swimmer, was ex- citing and perhaps a little unsettling, too. “It’s very different racing than the age-group meets. You get used to being at the top, but when you go to nationals you’re not at the top,” she says, noting that her dream is to eventually represent Canada at the Olympic Summer Games. Former Canadian Olympian and Pickering resident Craig Hutchison was the guest speaker at the swim banquet. He represented Canada at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Austra- lia, where he helped the Canadian 4-x-100-metre medley relay team to a sixth-place finish. Hutchison, a graduate of Ari- zona State University who’s now an engineer working in Markham, notes that, in the end, swimming contributed much more to his life than being an Olympian or winning races. “Swimming to me is a lot more than being first to the wall,” he told the audience. “I met my wife through swimming and I met my best man through swimming.” After Sydney, Hutchison noted that he continued to train through the next four-year Olympic cycle, swimming at the 2002 Common- wealth Games. In 2004, at age 29, he attempted to land in his second Olympics as a member of Canada’s 4-x-100-metre medley relay team at the trials that year. The relay team, however, finished just over the Olympic qualifying standards. He retired from competitive swimming soon after. Currently, Hutchison remains in- volved in swimming as a volunteer at the Pickering club, under head coach Lucie Hewitt-Henderson. The swim club also presented a host of other awards during the course of the evening. They were: • Stroke awards: Butterfly - Cameron Ta ylor; Backstroke - Steven Taylor; Breaststroke - Nadine Rodricks; Free- style - Philip Kay; Individual medley - Kyle Leng; • Performance awards: Junior Pro- vincials - Ainsley Corkum, Michael Foster, Carleen Ginter, Kayla Ginter, Caroline Gomba, Rayah Gugliotta, Alysha Lynden, Robert Masters, Emily Mayer, Hollie Smith, Meghan Toswell, Katie Webster; Junior and Senior Provincials - Jose Baylon, Jeffrey Cernele, Alex Griffith, Michael Storto; Junior Provincials and Age Group Nationals - Kayla Bannister and Alison Russell; Junior and Senior Provincials and Easterns - Adam Gomba; Junior and Senior Provincials, Easterns and Senior Nationals - Allison Foster, Dani- elle Gomba, Kaleigh Heard, Jessica Ward; • Most improved athletes: Develop- ment Team 1 - Melissa Devers; Devel- opment Team 2 - Kent Leng; Junior blue - Rayah Gugliotta; Junior red and senior red - Meaghan Douse; Senior blue and white - Brianne Porter; • Senior national relay: Danielle Gomba, Jessica Ward, Allison Foster, Kaleigh Heard; • Grand Tomato Head award (special award): Connor Dach; • Lake Swimmers: White-level, dis- tance of 100,00 metres - 1.

Facing an undefeated Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars in the championship game, the Pumas emerged with a narrow 43-42 victory. Monique Johnson was a key contributor on both ends of the court for Pine Ridge, netting 16 points. Feli- cia Roberts, Michelle Dixon and Shona Dunkley contributed solid defensive efforts. Kim West recorded a game-high 26 points, followed by Whitney El- lenor with 14 to pace the Pumas’ offensive attack. Pumas’ head coach Cameron Nekkers noted he was proud of the players’ efforts throughout the tournament, adding that their hard work at practices paid off. The Pumas played two games last Friday, starting the tourna- ment with a solid 54-40 victory over Oshawa’s O’Neill CVI Red- hawks. West against topped all scorers with a 32-point perfor- mance. Dunkley was a force for Pine Ridge on the defensive end. In Game 2, the Pumas ran past the Dunbarton High School Spar- tans 40-25 to book their tickets to the final. Brittany Arsenault played well offensively and defensively in the victory. She also added four points. The Pumas junior girls’ squad returns to Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league action on Oct. 23 against the Mon- signor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints at Pine Ridge. Tw o Pickering swimmers go to the wall Al Rivett/News Advertiser photo Kaleigh Heard, left, and Allison Foster earned their way to the Pickering Swim Club’s Wall of Fame after competing at the senior nationals this summer. PICKERING — A banner senior boys’ soccer season for the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon- archs came to a frustrating end on Thursday afternoon. The Monarchs faced the Mon- signor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ‘AAAA’ semifinals in Oshawa, with the favoured Monarchs dropping a heartbreaking 2-1 decision. Dwyer will meet the Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School Wildcats in the LOSSA ‘AAAA’ soc- cer final in Oshawa on Monday at 1 p.m. Austin defeated the Dunbarton High School Spartans 1-0 in sud- den-death overtime in the other semifinal. The Saints opened the scoring in the first half, with the scoring remaining 1-0 in Dwyer’s favour at the end of the break. In the second half, however, the Monarchs tied the score as Luke Stedmond put St. Mary on an even footing with the Saints. Dwyer scored the eventual winning marker with about 10 min- utes remaining. St. Mary put all-out pressure on the Saints’ defence in the dying minutes of regulation time and on into injury time, but couldn’t convert on its chances. “They played their hearts out, but we couldn’t do it,” says St. Mary coach Melanie Cayford, adding the Monarchs hit several posts during the course of the semifinal, and also had several corner kicks in the final minutes of the game. The Monarchs advanced to the semifinal game after notching a 6-3 win over the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers in the quarter-finals. St. Mary finished LOSSA play with a 6-2 mark, including a 5-1 record in LOSSA regular-season play.

It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you car- ried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” ex- plains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Win- dows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 26 years, I can honestly say these are the fi nest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs win- dows come with Low E Glass which fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wa yne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price.

Fortunately in Uxbridge, and the rest of Durham, there are proce- dures in place to deal with such situations. At the Uxbridge Com- munity Centre Thursday, Oct. 19, about 300 individuals, including more than 100 volunteer ‘evacuees’, the Uxbridge Fire Department, Dur- ham Region Social Services, Dur- ham Health, Emergency Medical Services and Durham Police were on hand to simulate response to a derailment of a train carrying toxic substances. Busloads of evacuees poured into the community centre, one of two emergency evacuation centres in Uxbridge. The other, said Ivan Ciuciura, the Region’s director of emergency management (DEMO), was Uxbridge Secondary School. Members of community groups such as Canadian Red Cross and Salvation Army stationed inside the community centre worked quickly to record information about each person. “It’s not only for register- ing... we can (also) identify a medi- cal problem,” said Mr. Ciuciura. One resident was identified as having scabies and another had West Nile virus. Response teams evalu- ated whether the affected should be isolated from other evacuees. Wendy Hayko, a student of Dur- ham College’s emergency manage- ment program, was brought in a wheelchair to the registration tables. Ms. Hayko was suffering from a mock sprained ankle, and had to be carried by medical staff to a first-aid room. Once there, Ms. Hayko had her ‘swollen’ ankle treated with ice and bandaging, while others around her, including teenage girls who had broken down in tears, were also looked after. Meanwhile outside, Animal Con- trol tended to pets brought along when individuals left their homes. Uxbridge Fire Chief Simon Al- mond, also the municipality’s Com- munity Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC), explained how an evacuation works on a local level. “O nce you realize it’s beyond the normal capabilities of the fire de- partment, then we call our mutual aid partners... we’re also going to activate our emergency operations centre. “It’s up to elected officials to de- cide it they want to declare an emer- gency or not.” To get people to emergency cen- tres, explained Mr. Ciuciura, Dur- ham Region Transit will be called upon. Even during a strike, “Buses are still available... there’s a clause that the Region has to come back to work in an emergency.” During the practice scenario, a school bus was used instead. Bob Ferguson, manager of the arena portion of the centre, said he doesn’t recall any specific Uxbridge emergencies on a grand scale in past years. However, “The arena was used as a water centre during the (2003) blackout,” he said. Emergency evacuation exercis- es are ongoing and were last held in Scugog in 2003, noted Mr. Ci- uciura, who added the exercises rotate through each municipality. The point of the exercises are “two- fold... to provide training and make improvements to any planning we have done,” he said. According to DEMO, 35 facili- ties throughout Durham have been identified as suitable evacuation centres. For more information on the Region’s evacuation plan, visit www.region.durham.on.ca/demo.
