Senator celebrates birthday with present for moraine By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Ontario Senator Nancy Ruth chose to celebrate her 65th birthday by donating 61 acres of environmentally sensitive land. Ms. Ruth purchased the Pickering land in the 1960s for ap- proximately $16,000. But now that she’s thinking seriously about her estate, doesn’t have children, and doesn’t need the money she’d get from selling, she’s decided to do- nate it to the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust. “I didn’t need it. If I didn’t give it, who would?” she said in an in- terview. The trust is a non-profit organi- zation that protects and restores natural spaces throughout the Oak Ridges Moraine. It has protected 2,858 acres of land since 2000, worth $12.6 million. Ms. Ruth’s do- nation of land to the ORMLT is the biggest nature reserve it manages so far. “It’s 61 acres of land in Pickering. It’s a very substantial donation,” said Don Prince, ORMLT’s execu- tive director. Located on the south slope of the Oak Ridges Moraine along the watershed divide of Duffins Creek and Lynde Creek, the land’s made up of mature forest, consisting of sugar maple, red oak and white pine, and second-growth forest on the southern portion. In 1967, over He lp meet the need DURHAM — High demand, warm- er weather and holidays have led to lower turnout at blood donor clinics and a great need for platelets. Cana- dian Blood Services is appealing to the public to donate to help meet the need. A national inventory allows the organization to move blood from one end of the country to another, according to need, but platelets - - used in the clotting of blood -- re- quire five whole blood donations. As well, it is dependent on storage times and availability. Platelets are used primarily in treatment of can- cer patients, prolonged bleeding as- sociated with some diseases and in trauma surgeries. They only have a shelf life of five days. To donate, call 1-888-2DONATE or visit www.blood. ca to find a donor clinic nearby and book an appointment.

Gracing one of Oshawa’s oldest institutions of learning, the mural is located on the north-west side of the E.A. Lovell Adult and Continuing Education Centre, that is home to the Durham District School Board’s Durham Continuing Education and its innovative programs. The school held a celebration on Thursday, May 31, 2007, to dedicate the mural as the culmination of the school’s sesquicentennial project begun in 2005. The site has the distinction of having been a home for education for more than 150 years, originally as an elementary and high school, when it was Centre Street School, and later as E.A. Lovell Public School named for the long serving and distinguished chair and trustee of the local board of education. The mural depicts both the past and present. Edwin Arthur Lovell, the school’s namesake, holds the lamp of learning. The heart and soul of the mural emanates from the beaming faces of students who have been so aptly depicted by renowned Oshawa artist, Tony Johnson. Mr. Johnson has completed three other murals in the downtown core, and has imbued his work of art with a brightness and energy that refl ects the school’s variety of adult programs: English as a Second Language, Adult Credit Day School, Computer Training, Personal Support Worker, Teach in Durham, Hospitality and Building Maintenance. Children from the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada’s on-site preschool complete the picture. Mr. Lovell’s grandchildren, Diana Kirk and Arthur Lovell were present at the event honouring the school and their grandfather. In his remarks, Principal Mel Barkwill, dedicated the mural in honor of the students, teachers, staff, former administrators, and community members, who have been part of the rich mosaic that makes Durham Continuing Education a special place for us all. Principal Barkwill went on to thank all those individuals, whose contributions have made this mural a monument to our community of learning - past, present and future. A recent student, Nabila Ballok, one of the graduates of the Teach in Durham program for internationally-trained teachers, and whose likeness is depicted in the mural, spoke proudly of how the school had renewed her hopes, and given her the opportunity to fi nd employment in her chosen profession in her new country. In addition to the mural dedication, the celebration included a BBQ for students and guests to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life.

Extremely pleased with the donation, Mr. Prince explained the property will help main- tain the quality of Duffins Creek and Lynde Creek, both flowing into Lake Ontario. He said 65 rivers that flow into Lake Ontario start on the moraine. “Even the City of Toronto is one of our sup- porters...The water that flows into Lake On- tario is of concern to them,” he said. The ORMLT has now received four dona- tions and 18 easements, with the help of the federal government’s Ecological Gifts Pro- gram, which allows for enhanced income tax receipts to encourage land donations. This is part of the reason for Ms. Ruth’s donation. With a conservation easement, owners give up the development rights to the ORMLT, but still own the land. Mr. Prince said putting land in the hands of the land trust gives donors the relief that it will stay “greenspace forever,” no matter the government of the day. He also explained the 61 acres is close to other areas of preserved land, critical in con- serving the moraine. For example, salt coming off roads can add to future deterioration of small forests. “The smaller the forest, the more threats to integrity of its long-term sustainability,” he said. Ms. Ruth hopes her donation will inspire others. “It’s all about creating a better social fabric for Ontarians,” Ms. Ruth said. Donations allow land to stay ‘greenspace forever’ DURHAM — The annual Fun Fest is back in Ajax and Pickering, promising to be better than ever.

Glendale Marketplace is located at the corner of Finch Avenue East and Dixie Road in Pickering. ✦ Donations from page 1 Fun for kids in Ajax, Pickering Cancer surgery wait times decrease by 39 per cent DURHAM — Patients are spending less time waiting for key health care services in the Central East Local Health Inte- gration Network, the health and long-term care minister recently announced. “Trends in the Central East LHIN area are encouraging, with significant decreases in wait times for a number of key health services,” Mr. Smitherman said in a press release. Since August and September, 2005, wait times in which nine out of 10 patients have had their exam or completed their surgery have decreased by: 39 per cent for cancer surgery, now taking 35 days; 40 per cent for cataract sur- gery, making it 126 days; 37 per cent for angiography, now down to eight days; 24 per cent for hip replacements, now 97 days; nearly 8 per cent for knee re- placements (23 days); and nearly 7 per cent for CT scans, wait- times now four days. Mr. Smitherman officially an- nounced the government’s wait time strategy in November, 2004, and since then, the government has invested over $49 million for additional hospital procedures in the Central East LHIN area.

No Sweat...Dr. Charles Copeland iontophoresis (a procedure which uses a galvanic current device) drugs such as glycopyrolate, surgery (permanent removal of the sweat glands or sympathectomy), and Botox® injections. Growing in popularity, therapeutic Botox® is extremely effective for this condition. It can be injected into the skin to help stop sweating. Botox® treats HH by interrupting the chemical messages released by nerve endings that signal the sweat glands to begin producing sweat. Sweating is therefore “switched off” in the area temporarily. For underarm sweating patients are treated about once a year and slightly more frequently for hand sweating. Most people with Hyperhidrosis struggle with the social aspect of the condition and are usually extremely satisfi ed with treatment. The good news is that this is a Health Canada approved treatment therefore the Botox® prescription is covered by most drug plans. For more information see the International Hyperhidrosis Society website at www. sweathelp.org or www.sweatmanagement.ca For most people with Hyperhidrosis, successful treatment is life changing, allow ing normal socialization and work performance usually taken for granted by others. Do you change your shirt or blouse more than once a day because you sweat too much? Do you choose dark colours, wear layers or leave your jacket on to conceal your problem? You may be one of the estimated 950,000 Canadians who suffer from Primary Hyperhidrosis (HH). Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for sweating. Hyperhidrosis can be generalized or focal. Generalized hyperhidrosis is often a symptom of other medical problems, in- cluding anxiety disorders, thyroid problems, menopause, medications, and some can- cers. Primary Focal Hyperhi- drosis has no cause and often affects the underarms, hands, scalp or feet. Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis which af- fects approximately 3% of the population often goes untreated. The disorder starts at puberty or in the early 20’s and often runs in families. Sufferers go to extreme lengths to conceal and manage their problem. People with palm sweating avoid social situations for fear of having to shake hands and sometimes avoid certain types of occupations due to embarrassment. Hyperhidrosis is more than just a mild nuisance, it is very debilitating and most suffer in silence. Primary hyperhidrosis has varying degrees of severity and several treatment options: aluminum chloride containing solutions, Dr. Charles Copeland practices cosmetic medicine at MD Aesthetics and is a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. • Do you have a desire to work with the elderly or disabled? • Are you interested in supporting people to live independent lives? • Have you considered a job in community health or a nursing/retirement home? • Have your questions answered • Learn about this “hot” career • Reading and writing skills assessment • Bring proof of Canadian Citizenship/residency, and photo identifi cation • No appointment necessary 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa TRAIN TO BECOME A PERSONAL SUPPORT WORKER AND BE PREPARED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ATTEND AN ORIENTATION SESSION REGISTER NOW FOR SEPTEMBER 2007 Thursday, June 7 10:00 am Thursday, June 14 10:00 am ALL ORIENTATION SESSIONS ARE AT: E.A.

Ms. McKeever was one of nearly a dozen delegations that turned out at the May 30 Regional Council meeting to voice their opinion on incineration. However, she was the lone supporter of the controversial tech- nology of burning garbage. Others urged the Region to either adopt a zero waste policy or a stabilized landfill. The roster of opposition cited environ- mental, economic and most often health concerns with the technology. Residents, most of whom have appeared at a number of council and committee meetings at both the Region and Clarington, say EFW facilities are unsafe, uneconomical and unproven. “There’s a lot more things to be worried about than dioxins,” Ms. McKeever said. “But no one can say dioxins cause cancer, because dioxins have always been. It is like saying air creates disease.” The all-day debate centered on a motion asking council to allot $200,000 for Claring- ton to do an independent peer review of the investigation into EFW. “How can you consider putting a limit on our councillors doing their due diligence,” said Orono resident Jim Richards. Five sites have been identified by consul- tants as possible locations for an EFW facil- ity. Four are in Clarington and one in East Gwillimbury, whose council recently passed a motion indicating they will not be a willing host. The project schedule would have a site selected and the $250-million facility up and operating by 2010, before Michigan, where Durham’s trash is currently shipped, closes its borders to Ontario trash. Erin Shapero, a Markham town council- lor, told Durham councillors she refutes the claim that there is a Michigan border crisis at hand. “We have 125-million-tonne capacity in Ontario landfill,” she said. “We can use sta- bilized landfill until we can get all we can out of that residual stream. The crisis is that we create too much garbage.” She said the debate shouldn’t be over whether or not incineration is safe but if it’s smart. Council voted to allot the $200,000 as a starting point for Clarington studies, but also instructed staff to identify what ad- ditional studies need to be done and how much they might cost, in co-operation with Clarington municipal staff.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com New chief has long local track record T he Durham Regional Police Services board didn’t have to look far to find the region’s sixth chief of police. The man chosen to be Durham’s top cop has been working right there under their noses for the past quarter-century. And, beginning this month, after a decade-long absence when two outside candidates filled the bill, a member of Durham’s finest sits in the chief’s chair. In choosing 25-year Durham police veteran Mike Ewles to lead the 1,100 member force, the board has picked a man well-known to the rank-and-file and well-respected for the progressive work he’s done since the early 1980s. In short, Chief Ewles has had a front-row seat in watching the massive growth and elaborate changes that have taken place in Durham over the past generation. He knows this region inside out and begins with a well-established rela- tionship with his men and women in uniform. The choice of Deputy-Chief Ewles for the leading role on the force continues a tradition that was laid down by Durham’s first three chiefs, all of whom rose through the ranks. Perhaps of critical importance is the likelihood that the new chief will see through his five-year term. That was a serious problem with his predecessor, Vernon White, a highly regarded veteran of many years with the RCMP who emerged as the top pick to take over for the retiring Kevin McAlpine in the fall of 2005. Chief White came in with ambitious goals and a long- range plan but it ended too quickly earlier this year when he resigned to take over the Ottawa Police Service. He served only about a year-and-a-half. The force clearly needs stable leadership and senior of- ficers who work directly under the chief need to know he’ll stick around to see his projects through to completion. Chief Ewles has certainly been a local fixture and while nothing can be etched in stone and guaranteed 100 per cent, it’s close to a sure thing that, God willing, the chief will be there for the duration. And that’s a good thing for this growing force and the residents of Durham. Orange Parade should be welcomed To the editor: In this day and age of religious and cultural tolerance in Canada, I was quite surprised to hear about the recent contro- versy going on in Durham Region. The Loyal Orange Association submitted an application to hold an Orange Parade in the Village of Orono on July 7 of this year. On the same night that the application was received by Clarington Town Council, a letter from a Newcastle resident voiced opinions against the parade, asking Town Council to reject the application. I wonder whether this resident also voices objections to other cultural and religious demonstra- tions throughout the province. The last Orange Parade held in Ajax was more than 30 years ago. Yet I am sure that the economic advantage to local busi- nesses would be welcomed if hundreds of Orangemen, their families, friends, and band members decided to converge upon our town. Maybe Ajax Town Council should issue an invitation to the Orange Association to hold their annual parade here. I am sure they would be most welcome. Dean Polley Ajax Ajax and Pickering are great communities to live and work in F or the past few months, our Mon- day mornings in the newsroom have started with an eye toward the Durham Regional Police web site to find out just what crime was committed in Pickering or Ajax over the weekend. Whether it’s a robbery, stabbing, beat- ing, mischief, vandalism, it seems not a weekend goes by without a press release from the police reminding us once again about locking a car door or mak- ing sure you don’t stay out too late. It’s that type of atmosphere the region’s new top cop, Mike Ewles, finds himself immersed in. The new chief was introduced to the media Wednesday but it was his top priorities, youth justice is- sues, prevention, domestic violence and dealing with mental health issues, that Durham residents are most interested in. And nowhere could the new chief make a bigger splash than if he was to come to Pickering and Ajax and let resi- dents know he is committed to making the area as safe as it once was. In the past few months I have talked to a lot of people about the crime rate in this area. One gentleman came in to complain about teens shooting paint balls but he didn’t want his name used in the story for fear of retribution. But the crime problem isn’t just a teen problem. It goes beyond that and there isn’t one simple answer. Robberies and break-ins are standard fare now. We have heard from residents living in their neighbourhoods who don’t feel safe. Former police chief Vern White held public meetings throughout the region, but not much has changed in the past few months. The new chief must show he is com- mitted, in a real way, to making this area a safer place for families. Chief designate Ewles (he won’t be sworn in officially until June 22) must come to Ajax and Pickering councils and establish a solid plan to deal with crime. Mr. Ewles is no stranger to the area, having started his career in a Durham uniform in Ajax in 1982. I remember visiting many homes of my friends from Denis O’Connor high school, when it was in Whitby, and after that Durham College, without even a second thought about being out on the streets late at night. The communities of Ajax and Pickering are a great place to live and work with lots of amenities for families, but one of the first things I still hear from residents who phone or write is a concern about crime. That attitude must be reversed. Mike Johnston’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail mjohnston@durhamregion.com.

Close behind was its sister plant -- assembly line No.1, that pro- duces the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo -- which came in with a 16.34 HPV performance. Arturo Elias, the president of GM Canada, said the honour comes at an important time. “Topping the Harbour Report is a great achievement at a time when productivity is a critical challenge facing Canada’s econ- omy,” he said. “This really shows what can be accomplished with constant focus and it is a testa- ment to our great employees at GM Canada.” The Oshawa car plant has placed within the top two plants across North America in the Har- bour productivity report in each of the last five years. It has also topped the J.D. Power and Associ- ates Initial Quality Study as the best quality plant in North and South America in four of the last five years. “Whether you look at quality or productivity results, Oshawa car plant employees have a solid track record for setting the industry benchmark,” said Canadian Auto Wo rkers President Buzz Hargrove. Mr. Hargrove said CAW mem- bers recognize that the auto indus- try is more competitive than ever and results like this are important to satisfying GM customers. De- spite their individual productiv- ity results, the two Oshawa as- sembly lines are in the process of transition. By the end of 2007, all production will be consolidated on line no. 2 while its neighbour undergoes a transformation into state-of-the-art flexible manufac- turing facility. In mid to late 2008, line No. 2 will shut down as production of its current vehicles runs out. The Oshawa assembly plant will be run on a single line capable of producing numerous vehicles at once.

The issue was raised when Ron Reid stumbled upon work in progress at the Glen- dale Tennis Club (GTC), which is private, but located at the public David Farr Me- morial Park. He claims no one informed him about it. The nearly 800-member ten- nis club was recently award- ed a $74,400 infrastructure grant from the Ontario Tril- lium Foundation (OTF). Upgrades will include a new resurfaced patio, a practice area with a back- board, sidewalks around the outside, new benches and new fencing. The City is also providing an “in-kind” con- tribution with excavation and preparations. But, Mr. Reid’s concerns aren’t with the tennis club, but the City. “Councillors are telling residents what they want to hear,” Mr. Reid said. “They’re also telling the tennis club what they want to hear.” When Mr. Reid, who lives near the club, first saw the tennis court construction, he immediately contacted his councillors. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean sent a letter to residents stating his opposition to any fur- ther expansion of the tennis club. “I was unaware of this until today and upon finding out I immediately asked the work to be stopped,” the let- ter stated. He also included notice that he’d be meeting all par- ties involved the next day to discuss the situation. “If we had have been aware, we could have sat down with the club and neighbours and solved the problems before it became an explosive issue,” he said in an interview. He said although Council approved the grant appli- cation, he was unaware of the date construction would begin. Coun. McLean did say the club is well-run and is making a great effort to include youth. Wa rd 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson was also involved in shutting down the work by City staff. In an interview, he said he “didn’t want further work done until finding out what was entailed.” But, when he confirmed the footprint would not change, he said he wouldn’t oppose further work. City workers commenced the job the next day. “In this case, no more land’s being used,” he said. “If other lands would have been used, I would have felt differently.” In fact, Coun. Dickerson said “efforts like that to up- grade should be applauded, not condemned.” Gabe Kampf, the tennis club’s president, said the plans to renovate the tennis club have been available for nearly a year. He wrote the first official letter to council- lors McLean and Dickerson on June 12, 2006 to request two additional tennis courts and make them aware of plans to apply for the Trilli- um grant. Although Council didn’t approve the two extra courts, it approved the grant application on Sept. 18, 2006. Mr. Kampf said they were told to further contact and plan with the culture and recreation department. “We simply followed the advice of our elected offi- cials and City staff,” he said. “We had a very constructive, open process.” Barbara Jasper, the club’s vice president, noted the OTF puts a mandatory order on grant recipients to refrain from releasing any details of the award until a certain date, which was April 11 in the GTC’s case. “Then we advised the club and that’s when the updates started going up on the club’s website,” she said. Mr. Reid also expressed the need for new park benches and a baseball diamond at the park. “Every time we ask for something, we get nothing,” he said. Mr. Buntsma said park benches will be installed and the baseball diamond is usually used for tee ball. He said these diamonds gener- ally require a much lower level of maintenance, but the City makes sure they’re safe. “They’re certainly no better or worse than other diamonds used for the same purpose in the City,” he said. Mr. Kamph emphasized improvements to the tennis courts will make the park more appealing, especially in relation to vandalism and security, since the park and tennis court have been van- dalized on a number of oc- casions. Six-to-eight residents met with Glendale at a recent im- promptu meeting, and Mr. Kampf and Mr. Reid agreed it was productive. “The meeting was a really constructive opportunity,” Mr. Kampf said. “We had the opportunity to provide very rich and informative answers.” Ms. Jasper said the neigh- bours who attended the meeting were under the impression the work being done was an expansion. “So once we set them cor- rect that it wasn’t an expan- sion, that it was an improve- ment, that the footprint of the land wouldn’t be changed, a lot of them felt relief and were more understanding of our efforts,” Ms. Jasper said. Although the GTC has ex- perienced some delays, the club hopes the work will be complete by the weekend of June 16.

It was more than just a mere tour, how- ever. The politicians had a chance to see how a donation included in the Town’s 2007 budget will be used by the institution. Ajax included a $250,000 contribution to the hospital, to be doled out in four an- nual instalments of $62,500. The money will be used to buy minimally invasive surgery (MIS) equipment for the Ajax site. MIS involves using a tiny video cam- era and remote-controlled instruments to perform surgical procedures through inci- sions that are much smaller than those in traditional operations. It results in less scarring, faster recovery times and fewer surgery-related complica- tions. The Rouge Valley Centenary site in Scar- borough is the only community hospital in the GTA with an MIS suite. Surgeons there have been successfully performing a variety of procedures for the past two years, such as laparoscopic bowel resections and operations on gall blad- ders, spleens and kidneys. “The benefits of minimally invasive sur- gery to a patient are enormous,” Dr. Peter Hayashida, program chief of surgery at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, says in a press release. “It is sometimes called keyhole sur- gery because of the tiny incision, and for the patient it means less need for pain medication, smaller scars, shorter hospi- tal stays and faster overall recovery time.” Tracy Paterson, acting executive direc- tor of the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation, said the $250,000 donation pushes the Town’s lifetime contribution to the hospital to almost $1 million. Lisa McVety, the nurse manager of sur- gical services, led the councillors on the tour. She thanked them for the contribution, saying, “It’s the only way we can grow. “Most of our surgery is keyhole,” she noted. “Ninety per cent of the surgery is day surgery. “We see on average 50 people a day for elective surgery. There’s another 10 add on, so we do 60 surgeries a day,” Ms. McVe ty added. Given the number of patients who come in for surgery, the “turnover is phenom- enal.” Ms. Paterson said the first instalment will enable the hospital to “double” the number of cancer scopes that can be done. Ms. McVety noted, “Scopes help find cancers.” The scopes the hospital plans to buy are “s tate-of-the-art. “It puts us very far ahead of scope stan- dards,” Ms. McVety stated. Having a scope processor, sterilizer and disinfecter will “help double our capacity. “We do 5,000 scopes a year,” she said. We’ll be up to 7,500 per year when we’re running at full tilt.” Patients who urgently need a scoping procedure will be able to have one sooner, she added. “Some patients may be waiting a year for a colonoscopy and for some, that’s too long,” Ms. McVety stated. “It will support our ambulatory care unit in the basement. All endoscopes are done here to ensure quality. On behalf of the surgery program, we really appreci- ate your support. This was identified as a great need,” she added. Wa rd 4 local Councillor Pat Brown said of the donation, “I think it’s wise. “It’s practical and improved service the hospital can provide,” she said. Keith Gilligan/ News Advertiser photo Lisa McVety, right, manager of surgical services at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, explains how some of the operating room equipment works to Ajax politicians. The Town is donat- ing $250,000 over four years to fund minimally invasive surgical equipment.

Councillors were attired in surgical garb during the tour of the operating theatres.

Seniors Month is the one month of the year set aside for us to celebrate our seniors, in a much bigger way than we al- ready do any other time of the year! “Th ey have contributed greatly to our community, and to our nation as a whole, and it is our opportunity to celebrate them and let them know how much we appreciate their daily contributions,” says Kim Kranc, coordinator of recreation programs for the City of Pickering. “It is important to acknowledge our seniors this way because they are the foundation of our community and have worked to make it what it is today. Th ey volunteer in various ways and become in- volved in so many of our activities and events. It is our turn to celebrate them and to show them we appreciate all that they do.” Jennifer Ayres, community recreation coordinator, Town of Ajax agrees, seniors are instrumental to the success of every community. “Th ey continue to give so much to the community — whether it be volunteer- ing at the local seniors community cen- tre or the hospital, it’s important that we recognize what an integral part of our community they really are.” Both the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax will be joining commu- nities across Ontario by holding several events throughout the month of June to celebrate local seniors, including a Se- niors Month Big Band Event, being held June 3, and featuring entertainment by the George Lake Big Band. “Th e tickets for this event are sold at a lower rate than other seniors events to enable more seniors to participate and to let them know they are appreciated,” says Kranc. “Coff ee, tea and treats will be served at the event. Also, the City of Pickering Senior of the Year Award will be presented by Mayor David Ryan to Doreen Perry as well as the City of Pickering Provincial Senior of the Year Award will be presented by M.P.P. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, Wayne Ar- thurs.” For more information on Seniors Month, visit www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/ seniors. C heck it out!

Canadians are living longer than ever, a reality that has introduced a new dimension to boomers and seniors planning for their retirements. Th e question more and more retirees are asking is: should I incorporate a health-care investment component into my port- folio? Here are the longevity facts. In 1901, a 65-year- old would be expected to live to 76; by 2001, a 65- year-old could expect to live to age 85. Life ex- pectancy at birth, for both sexes, surpassed 80 years for the fi rst time in 2004. Statistics Canada says that by 2015, seniors aged 65 and over will outnumber children aged less than 15, and by 2056, about one out of 10 Canadians will be 80 years and over, com- pared with one out of 30 in 2005. Having suffi cient sav- ings in retirement and being protected from in- fl ation are of course es- sential, but now, we also must consider longevity and increased health care expenses, two “risks” that are very closely related to each other. Income is one of the most important determi- nants of health and im- pacts a person’s ability to access non-insured medi- cal services and support such as medical supplies and home care. Canada’s publicly funded health care system is experienc- ing major challenges and the strains that an aging population will place on that system will increase in future years. Life expectancy is in- creasing, but you cannot expect to live all addi- tional years in good health. Males born in 2001 can expect to live about 77 years, but nine of those years will be lived with health problems; women can expect to live about 82 years, with 12 years of health problems. In fact, by age 75, one quarter of Ca- nadians report a long-term disability and one half live with three or more chronic conditions, according to a 2001 report from the In- stitute for Clinical Evalu- ative Sciences. In retirement, many healthcare services such as dental and vision care will have to be paid for from an individual’s pocket, through private insurance or a combination. Th is may pale in comparison to the costs of home health- care, assistance with meal preparation and activities of daily living. Th en there is home care, a hot topic in Can- ada these days. It is used by about eight per cent of those aged 65 to 74, 20 per cent in the 75 to 84 group and 42 per cent in the 85 or older group, and use is higher for women, reports Statistics Canada. More than half who re- ported needing assistance with personal care (wash- ing, dressing, or eating) received no formal home care and, not surprisingly, unmet needs have a high correlation with income. Caregivers themselves are getting older and less able to assist their loved ones. While governments concentrate on sustain- ing core, insured hospi- tal-based services, ever- increasing healthcare expenses are coming out of an individual’s pocket. Uncertainty regarding our health status makes it very diffi cult to predict what expenses we may en- counter, but personal sup- port services can cost up to $25 per hour, and home- nursing costs can range from $40 to 50 per hour or more, depending on the type of service required. Long-term care in a pri- vate facility can range be- tween $2,500 and $5,000 per month, and just about everything beyond basic healthcare comes with ad- ditional costs in private re- tirement living facilities. So the facts speak for themselves: when develop- ing your fi nancial plan, you should take note of these notable costs. It’s wise to conduct a regular portfo- lio review, at least annually, that allows you to track your progress and make any changes to your in- vestments if your personal situation changes. Th e dis- covery process that you go through with your advisor should take into account your health, lifestyle, fam- ily history, and support systems. Your planning process must include a review of products, services and op- tions available, such as critical-illness and long- term-care insurance, or perhaps self-insurance through a personal health savings account. An in- vestment portfolio that al- lows strong growth while off ering protection against longevity and health care expense risk could be your best strategy.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 3, 2007 PAGE 15 A/Pdurhamregion.com UNIVERSITY OF ONTARIO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Faculty of Business and Information Technology Brandon Wetzel, 2007 Bachelor of Commerce graduate If you were to ask Brandon Wetzel, a graduating Bachelor of Commerce student, about UOIT he would tell you that it’s the school of the future, offer- ing laptop-based programs that provide a unique style of teaching and learning to students. He feels that UOIT is focused on teaching and modelling students for the 21st century as it implements technology into every aspect of learn- ing, which has been a rewarding experi- ence for him. Along with developing his technological skills, his UOIT education has given him problem-solving, com- munication and leadership skills. Wetzel is actively looking for a job to jump-start his career and is consider- ing obtaining his MBA. In the future, he hopes to become vice-president of Mar- keting and Sales for a major company. UOIT’s Faculty of Business and Infor- mation Technology offers comprehen- sive, career enhancing programs in both business and information technol- ogy through Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Information Technology and Master of Information Technology Security programs. All of this means graduates have the unique and innova- tive skills required to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving information technology security and commerce fields. Faculty of Education Amanda King, 2007 Bachelor of Education graduate According to Amanda King, UOIT has integrated its laptop-based teaching and technology driven practices right into its culture. She values her UOIT education and feels the Faculty of Education was very much built with the practical needs and chal- lenges of new teachers in mind. She now feels comfortable and empowered by her knowledge of how to effectively employ technol- ogy in her own classroom to capture the attention of her students while meeting their learn- ing needs. She graduated on Friday with the Faculty of Education’s Gold Aw ard for having the highest academic achievement in her class. Having developed in interest in edu- cation research, King will be spending her summer working as an educa- tion research assistant with Dr. Leisel Knaack and Dr. Robin Kay, both assis- tant professors with the UOIT Faculty of Education. Eventually, she hopes to get her Mas- ter’s or PhD in Education and is leaving the door open to becoming a teacher, education professor or principal. She is sure of one thing: her path in education and learning will be a long and winding one. UOIT’s Bachelor of Education gradu- ates have the leading-edge skills need- ed to make them dynamic and effective teachers in the decades to come. The class of 2007 joins the over 86 percent of 2006 graduates already employed in teaching positions. School of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Nawal Chishty, 2007 Nuclear Engineering graduate For the past four years, Nawal Chishty has witnessed UOIT’s vision succeed as she worked toward her degree in Nuclear Engineering. Chishty recognizes that everything the faculty and staff do is to the benefit of students because they truly believe student success is also their suc- cess. She has met amazing people by helping to create various programs and activities for students, including Welcome Week and the UOIT Student Ambassador pro- gram. Chishty feels the university is commit- ted to quality education that is industry- focused and technologically driven to meet the demands of a starving workforce, which is why she chose to pursue higher education at the university. She was recently hired by Ontario Power Generation in Pickering, Ontario, where she will gain industry experience before going forward with her Master’s degree or PhD. In the next five years, she hopes to get her Professional Engineering designa- tion (PEng). UOIT’s Nuclear Engineering program is Canada’s only honours degree dedicated to nuclear engineering, provid- ing students with unique access to current and relevant research, outstanding faculty and the opportunity to work alongside their professors on leading-edge projects. Faculty of Science Sarah Rowe, 2007 Biological Science graduate Career-focused learning, excellence in teaching and research and an outstand- ing campus are what separates UOIT from the pack, according to Sarah Rowe. She feels the small class sizes ensure students get more individualized atten- tion and notes that in some cases students are on a mutual first- name basis with their professors. She said UOIT allows students to become known and accepted, rather than exist- ing as a number, and provides a world-class education. Rowe enjoyed her UOIT education so much that she will be attending the uni- versity’s Faculty of Education this Sep- tember in order to obtain her Bachelor of Education (intermediate/senior) degree. Eventually she would like to become a high school science and math teacher so she can share her love of learning with the leaders of the future. A key advantage for students enrolled with UOIT’s Faculty of Science is the opportunity to work with professors on research projects as part of their under- graduate experience. UOIT’s 2007 sci- ence graduates possess a scientific foun- dation and innovative specializations that are designed to meet the demands of today’s global economy. Many are proceeding to graduate programs across the country and to other post-degree programs. Casey Legault, 2007 Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate Casey Legault believes UOIT is setting a high standard when it comes to techno- logical advancements and innovations within its programs. Having studied nursing for four years, Legault can attest to the quality of the high-tech nursing lab and electronic simulation patients (SIM dolls). She feels they enable students to gain a realistic view of various medical conditions and devices, and allows them to practise health assessments on patients with medical abnormalities and emergencies. Upon graduation, she will embark on a new job as a registered nurse (RN) with the Palliative and Complex Care unit at Markham-Stouffville Hospital in Markham, Ontario. In addition to working as an RN, Legault will continue her education by completing her advanced nursing certifi- cate, eventually obtaining a certificate in oncology nursing in order to work with cancer patients. UOIT’s 2007 Bachelor of Sci- ence in Nursing graduates have the unique and innovative skills required to meet the demands of the increasingly com- plex health-sci- ence and health- care industries, explaining why 90 percent of graduates have already obtained full-time employ- ment. Faculty of Health Sciences Heather Ravenek offers a big smile to friends and family at UOIT convocation ceremonies.

Culbert believes UOIT offers oppor- tunities that are unparalleled elsewhere as students are able to embark on research projects with their profes- sors – something that most stu- dents are unable to do until they enter gradu- ate studies. She adds that the student body is incredibly diverse and that the campus is now home to more thawn 60 clubs after only four years of operation – enabling stu- dents to be a part of and contribute to student life. Next year, she will take the Com- mon Law program at the University of Ottawa and plans to pursue interna- tional law, health law and policy, as well as alternative dispute resolution and mediation. Culbert’s career aspirations are focused primarily on policy, and she hopes to engage in international com- parative studies and use practical expe- rience to contribute to the development of policy with the mission to improve the quality of life for Canadians through law. Eventually she would like to teach law in her areas of specialization to the future stakeholders of society. Many graduates of UOIT’s Faculty of Criminology, Justice and Policy Studies will go on to pursue careers as business professionals, social workers and police and probation officers while some will pursue further education to become teachers and lawyers or to obtain their Master’s degree. Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Samveg Saxena, 2007 Manufacturing Engineering graduate Samveg Saxena feels being part of the first four-year graduating class at UOIT was a unique experience in itself, thanks to its stu- dent-centered, market-driven approach to postsecondary education. He believes UOIT will soon join the ranks of world- class institutions. Saxena values the uni- versity’s unique programs and laptop-based approach to teaching and learning; the endless opportunities it makes available to undergraduate students; and the com- plete commitment of faculty and staff to student success. He also appreci- ates the support he received from the president, provost, deans, professors and staff when he founded the Durham College-UOIT Solar Vehicle Team. This summer Saxena will be doing research and development work related to automotive engineering with a Markham-based company called Mul- timatic. In September he will attend the University of California’s Berkley cam- pus to pursue his Master’s degree and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Saxena feels his entrepreneurial spirit will eventually lead him to reach upper management at a large engineering company or perhaps inspire him to start his own company. After spending four years at UOIT, he has learned that his true calling is in a research-inten- sive environment and academia and he hopes to someday become a professor at an institution such as UOIT. The UOIT Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science strives to offer excel- lence in education, high-calibre and value-added research, and high-quality and innovative market-driven under- graduate and graduate programs as it prepares students to be outstanding professionals and leaders of tomorrow. Robert Baun conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa Robert Baun, a hockey legend, businessman and great philanthropist, has positively impact- ed lives across Canada while being a great advocate and associate on behalf of the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute for Technology (UOIT). From 1957 to 1972, Mr. Baun played in the National Hockey League, primarily with the To ronto Maple Leafs. He is perhaps best known for scoring the game-winning goal during the 1964 Stanley Cup playoffs while playing on a broken leg. He played in 964 games, scoring 37 goals with 187 assists in the regular season and took part in 96 playoff games with three goals and 12 assists. Many of the exciting moments in his hockey career are captured in his memoir: Lowering the Boom: The Bobby Baun Story. After retiring from hockey, he teamed up with fellow Leafs player Tim Horton to help get the well-known doughnut store chain off the ground. Eventually Mr. Baun took ownership of one of the Tim Hortons stores, and brought a shrewd approach to the business that set new standards for employees and other stores. He was quick to recognize a good idea when he saw one: the drive-thru. Though new and daring at the time, it is now an enduring feature of the company’s success. In a similar fashion, Mr. Baun entered the insurance business and quickly became an innovator during a period of rapid expansion in that industry. He has been an inspiration and catalyst to many individu- als, helping them to launch their own business initiatives that have ranked among the most successful in Canada today. Always willing to rally his broad network of family and friends, Mr. Baun has assisted many different charities, notably those that benefit persons with disabilities. Durham Region residents are particularly grateful for his many efforts to provide scholarships and bursaries for post-secondary students at UOIT. James O’Donnell conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa Through a pioneering spirit, exceptional lead- ership, professional achievement and a deep devotion to enriching the lives of others, James O’Donnell serves as a model and inspiration to others. Along with business excellence, he has made substantial contributions to amateur sports, children’s causes and a variety of philan- thropic initiatives. After founding the Mackenzie Financial Cor- poration in 1972, Mr. O’Donnell built the com- pany into a multibillion-dollar enterprise and a recognized Canadian brand. His innovative marketing approach and unique sales strategies were directly responsible for making Mackenzie a leader in the financial services sector and rais- ing the profile of the Canadian fund industry among Canadian consumers. When he retired from the company in 1992, he left behind a legacy of having created one of the largest mutual fund companies in Canada. From there, he became chairman and CEO of O’Donnell Investment Management Incorporated in 1995. To day, he chairs the O’Donnell Capital Group, a specialty investment operation that provides sophisticated investors with a unique, value- added investment alternative normally only available to large institutions. Mr. O’Donnell is a dedicated and active member of the community and has spent more than 40 years pursuing the goal of a Canadian society that cares about its less-fortunate mem- bers, especially young people. He has founded and directed several foundations devoted to improving the lives of underprivileged, mental- ly and physically challenged and disadvantaged children. Under his leadership, such initiatives as the Canadian Special Olympics, the Macken- zie Racing League and the Molson Indy Festival Foundation have served to enrich the lives of many children and children’s charities. He is also a member of the UOIT Board of Governors. Dr. David Sanborn Scott conferred the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa Dr. David Scott provides vision, insight and inspiration to all those working and study- ing the future of energy systems. He provides extraordinary leadership in the study of hydro- gen energy, demonstrates dedication to the highest standard of research excellence and has made an outstanding contribution to the real- ization of a sustainable future. Dr. Scott has a long and impressive record of research in energy system analysis, design and strategies. After receiving his Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering and Astronautical Sciences, he joined the University of Toronto where he served as chair of Mechanical Engi- neering and founded the university’s Institute of Hydrogen Systems. Dr. Scott later moved to the University of Victoria where he established the Institute for Integrated Energy Systems ded- icated to the study of fuel cells, hydrogen pro- duction and storage technologies and feasible ways to integrate renewable sources. Today, he serves as vice-president for the Americas of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, which works to advance the most worthy goal of abundant clean energy for mankind. In recognition of his distinguished academic career, Dr. Scott was appointed by the federal government to chair the Canadian Advisory Group on Hydrogen Opportunities, which was commissioned to make recommendations on Canada’s position on hydrogen technology. In 2006, Dr. Scott became the first Canadian to receive the prestigious Jules Verne Award for his outstanding contributions to hydrogen physics and hydrogen energy sociology and philoso- phy. With the recent launch of his new book, Smelling Land: The Hydrogen Defense Against Climate Catastrophe, Dr. Scott has made a valu- able contribution to the most critical of issues on our national and global agenda: climate change. Based on uncompromising science and written in an engaging and readable man- ner, this book sets out a cogent framework for understanding how our energy system works and offers a comprehensive strategy for moving to a sustainable future. His reviewers antici- pate that the kinds of fundamental changes in understanding and decision-making that will follow from this book will literally set the direc- tion for the human future.

No pain and no surgery. ACCENT Radio Frequency is a body and face reshaping therapy that can create dramatic change. Both Health Canada and FDA approved, Accent is ideal for a number of troublesome areas including: jowls, double chin, cellulite, acne, sagging skin, love handles, saddlebags, and even fat deposits at the bra-line, knees, or arms. The term “no pain, no gain” is no longer true. Non-invasive treatments are the fastest growing category in aesthetic medi- cine. The Accent device is creating a media buzz. Recently featured on CityTV News, CTV News and in Oprah and Elle Magazines, Accent is the latest and most cost effective way to reshape your body. And you don’t have travel to the city for your treatments as MediSpa at The Facial Place is the first and only place in Durham Region to offer this state-of-the-art technology. “Exercising and dieting have no impact on the shape of my face or the appear- ance of my skin,” says Josie, a MediSpa at The Facial Place client. “Since hav- ing had my treatments, friends have asked me if I have lost weight. What they don’t realize is that Accent has reduced my jowls and double chin!” So how does this therapy work? Accent radio frequency is administered comfortably onto the surface of the skin. Deep dermal heating, measured at therapeutic levels, causes a breakdown or shrinkage within the fat cells and the lymphatic system drains the excesses out of the body. Most importantly, Accent has been scientifically proven to produce new collagen in the treatment areas, resulting in tighter and smoother skin. Okay so what’s the price tag? You will be happy to know that Accent is afford- able! Depending on the area being treated, fees can range from $150 to $600 per session with special pricing on packages. Because every individual is unique, treatment plans will vary from person to person. MediSpa at The Facial Place offers clients a free consultation and test patch.

It’s true. According to a recent study by Statistics Canada, conditions such as panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worry, specific phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder affect 12 per cent of Canadians each year. That’s the bad news. The good news is that all of the above are absolutely treatable – often without the need for medication. According to Health Canada and the Canadian Men- tal Health Association, there are only two scientifically supported treatments available for people with anxiety disorders and/or depression: drug therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Drug therapy involves the use of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication, while CBT is a form of psychotherapy – or “talk therapy” – adminis- tered by a clinical psychologist. Scientific studies have shown that CBT is just as ef- fective as drugs in the short term in dealing with mild to moderate anxiety or depression, and more effective in the long term at preventing relapses. But, unlike drugs, CBT carries no unwanted side-effects or long-term chemical dependence. “CBT is remarkably effective,” says Dr. David Direnfeld, a registered psychologist and clinical director of the Cen- tre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax. Dr. Direnfeld earned his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and has been practicing CBT since the early 90s. “CBT is one of the great psychological breakthroughs of the 20th century,” he says. So what is CBT, anyway? “CBT is based on the idea that the way we feel and behave is a result of the way we think,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. “In other words, our feelings and behaviours are controlled by our thoughts, rather than by external things, like people, situations or events.” This means we can always change the way we feel and behave, even if the situations in our lives stay the same. For example, people with anxiety disorders typically have distorted thoughts: a social phobic may think that he/ she will always be negatively judged in social situations, while a sufferer of OCD may think that being dirty will lead to disease or death. “These distorted thoughts pro- mote feelings of fear, worry or distress,” says Dr. Diren- feld. “They usually cause people to avoid situations that might precipitate the anxiety, or to develop compulsive rituals that lessen the anxiety.” Likewise, people with depression have distorted thoughts that promote feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, such as pessimistic ideas (“life is cruel”), unrealistic expecta- tions (“everyone has to like me at all times”), or overly critical self-evaluations (“I’m worthless”). “These thought distortions can occur automatically, without a person even being aware of them,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Using CBT treatment, people can become aware of these automatic thoughts, and train themselves to challenge and change them.” But that’s just the cognitive component. The behavioural component involves challenging yourself to face the situ- ations you may have avoided due to depression, worry or fear. This is done in small, manageable steps called expo- sure. “Through exposing yourself in small steps, you learn that you can feel anxious in a particular situation and you can still be okay,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “You learn that the anxiety isn’t going to kill you or make you go crazy.” All tolled, CBT helps patients learn effective self-help skills, and gain independence and assertiveness in dealing with real-life issues. According to Health Canada, CBT is now the preferred mode of non-medicinal treatment for a range of psychological disorders, from anger to panic, eat- ing disorders and personality problems. But recent research suggests that some mental health therapists may still be using treatments that are not based on empirical evidence. “It’s very important to ask questions about your psy- chologist’s level of training,” warns Dr. Direnfeld. “Make sure the person is registered with the Ontario College of Psychologists, and make sure they are only using scientifi- cally validated treatments, such as CBT.” For more information about CBT, or to make an appoint- ment at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

But for the Bushell family, it’s something altogether different. “You always worry about pneumonia and lung infections,” says Michelle Bushell, a mother of two young boys with cystic fibrosis (CF). She and her husband Chris didn’t know they were both carriers of CF until their five- year-old, Zachary, was born. CF is a fatal inherited disease affecting mainly the lungs and digestive system. It can cause severe breathing problems and affects digestion and food absorption. For Zachary, it was serious liver complica- tions that required the newborn to undergo a Kesai procedure to reconnect his liver to his intestines. Although he’s never had to have a liver transplant, Zachary spent most of his infancy and early toddler years battling liver infec- tions. It made the couple seriously question whether they should have more children. Opting to trust their strong faith, Ms. Bushell said having a sibling for Zachary “outweighed everything.” At 11 weeks pregnant, Ms. Bushell was devastated when genetic testing revealed the baby she was carrying -- Brett -- would also be affected by CF. “I had a very hard time accepting the re- sults,” she said. “My husband was very ac- cepting. He felt we were just one of those families (destined to go through this).” Brett’s arrival was monitored closely and, thankfully, he didn’t have any of the liver is- sues experienced by his older brother. “He is a bit more chesty but I think that’s because he’s caught a lot of colds that Zach comes home with from school,” added Ms. Bushell. “The biggest challenge has been weight gain,” said Ms. Bushell. “Every three months the boys are checked for weight and height.” She said she tries to concentrate on the present, more than the distant future. It’s a fact of life that CF can cause other long-term health issues like diabetes and even lung disease. Average life expectancy for someone with CF is just 37. In 1960, it was only four years. “Our doctors are very hopeful a cure will come within Zachary and Brett’s life- time,” added Ms. Bushell. Events like the Great Strides Walk this weekend at the Toronto Zoo are supporting ground-breaking research, she said. The Bushells have participated along with other Durham families for four years. Friends and family have formed two teams and have raised more than $8,000 for this year’s walk. For more information about the Durham Region CF Chapter, visit www.cysticfibrosis. ca.

The money supports 14 UOIT professors in their research and devel- opment and is provided through discovery and research tools and instruments grants. “This funding will enable UOIT to con- tinue to advance its mission to conduct research and academic activities that are poised to contribute to the health, well- ness and economic development of Durham Region and Northumberland County, the province of Ontario and the country as a whole,” said John Perz, UOIT’s acting associ- ate provost of research. Researchers at UOIT will use the funding to focus on innovation in: the information technology, automotive, robotics, and aerospace industries; the en- gineering and energy production fields; the health-care and business sectors; and, more. Some of the research projects it will help in- clude: the structure-property relationships and electrochemical studies of novel inor- ganic-organic hybrid materials; reliability and safety assessment of wireless network control systems; and heat transfers at super- critical pressures. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Re- search Council of Canada is a federal agency whose role is to make investments in people, discovery and innovation for the benefit of all Canadians.

Rock golden at provincials West Durham bantam ‘C’s a perfect 4-0 at championships DURHAM — The West Durham Rock bantam lacrosse team was rock-solid in capturing gold at the Provincial Field Lacrosse Champi- onships in Kitchener May 25 to 27. The Rock, which competed in the bantam ‘C’ division, beat nearby rival Clarington No. 2 15-5 in a torrential downpour to capture gold. The Rock led 7-5 at the half and pulled away in the third and fourth quarters, shut- ting out Clarington in those stanzas. As was their trademark through- out the field lacrosse season, includ- ing the Provincials, a complete team effort by all players proved to be the difference as they wore down their opponents. The Rock was also inspired by teammate Cameron Elwood, who showed up on the team’s sidelines during the championship game. Cameron missed the champion- ships due to a broken wrist suffered on Thursday, ironically against the same Clarington side, but this time in box lacrosse. In the semifinal, the Rock posted a come-from-behind 8-7 victory over Oakville No. 2. The Rock trailed 3-1 at the half, but a gritty effort by the mid- fielders brought the Rock back into the game, leading 7-5 at the end of the third quarter. The Rock defend- ers took over from there and held the Oakville team until two late markers brought the game to a close. Lucas Sebastyan made a highlight-reel save to preserve the victory and send the Rock into the gold-medal final. The West Durham bantams start- ed their weekend Friday by beating Oakville No. 2 by a 9-8 count, scoring with three seconds left in overtime on a goal by attackman John St. John. Midfielder Easton McDonald, with the perfect feed, set up the winning marker. In Game 2 on Saturday morning, the Rock beat Brampton No. 2 12- 6, leading 6-2 after the first quarter and 7-5 at half time. West Durham poured it on in the second half to obtain a bye into Sunday’s semifinal. Te am members are goalie Lucas Sebastyan; defenders Nathan Mor- row, Christian Bentley, Andrew Banks and Christopher Bentley; midfielders Tyler Roche, Brian Kerr, Julian Garritano, Easton McDonald, Jacob Lessard, Jake Parrott, Andrew Kelly, Mats Ahlvik and Dean Papa- constantinou; and attackmen Mi- chael Davies, Patrick Morgan, John St. John and Cameron Elwood.

Still looking good and going strong! Love Debbie and Todd, Mike and Angie Haylee and Zachary, Sydney and Emily You are an inspiration to all of us! JUNE 7th 2007 A VERY SPECIAL DAY! CEC & JESSIE'S DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY Cecil Turner & Jessie France are happy now to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on June 7th, 2007! Jessie came to Dunbarton Village, Pickering, in 1936 when her family moved from Timmins Ontario. She has many wonderful memories of Pickering back in those golden years and also enjoyed the many years watching Pickering grow, more so than a lot of us who live here today. Cecil became familiar with Pickering after his Mother & Father purchased a cottage on the east shore of Frenchman's Bay. At that time he was serving in the Royal Canadian Navy on the Atlantic during WWII. After the war ended he got his discharge on November 1945 and enjoyed fully the time spent at Frenchman's bay during 1946 and thereafter. It was in the summer of 1946 that Cec & Jessie met at a dance hall in Avis Park, at the foot of Liverpool Road. This area has since been followed by the structure of a marina and more recently by the building of many residential and commercial establishments. They tied the knot on June 7th 1947 and have resided in Pickering since then. Together they have witnessed the growth of this wonderful city and have witnessed many many changes. It's been a wonderful 60 years and they now look forward to many more to enjoy with their family.
