Crime Stoppers is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that re- ceives its funding from community donations. The program, which works in- dependently from the DRPS, is de- signed to assist the police in solving crimes through citizens’ tips. At a ceremony marking the installation of a new sign in Pickering - the eigh- teenth in Durham - a new look was revealed. The new signs are simple, but bright and reflective. Durham Regional Crime Stoppers board member Terry DeYoung explained the new signs were designed to “el- evate awareness that citizens using (the Crime Stoppers) number can have crime issues dealt with.” Const. Hughes explained 2,731 arrests have been made, 2,700 cases have been cleared, $6.3 million in stolen property has been recovered and $53.5 million in drugs has been ceased as a result of tips since the program’s inception in 1986. “Those numbers are big and very impressive,” Mr. DeYoung said. “We’ve had some extremely high- profile cases in this region that have been dealt with because of a call.” Const. Hughes explained high- profile cases include organized crime, biker activity, robberies and added “probably 80 per cent of our tips are drug-related.” She emphasized Crime Stop- pers is becoming more proactive, as opposed to reactive. For exam- ple, roughly one hour after giving a presentation at a high school, she got a tip from a student from the school regarding a bomb threat. She mentioned Crime Stoppers routinely receives calls from stu- dents regarding upcoming fights, for example, which it then passes onto the police. But the tips remain anonymous and Ms. Hughes said callers are encouraged to keep their identity quiet. “We’ve taken great effort to keep them anonymous,” she said. Tipsters are eligible for cash rewards rang- ing from $100 to $2,000, depending on the seriousness of the crime and the amount and type of informa- tion the caller provides. Since the identity is kept anonymous - and the phones Crime Stoppers uses do not have the caller-identification function - callers are encouraged to call back with a code number they receive. They can then pick up their reward in a public establishment. However, Mr. DeYoung explained “more than half of tipsters eligible to receive awards don’t call (in for them).” Mr. DeYoung takes this as a sign that people are genuinely in- terested in helping the police solve crimes. Const. Hughes said Crime Stoppers receives roughly 120 calls per month. To report a tip, dial 1- 800-222-TIPS. Offer ends December 24, 2007.

Ashogan Velupiallai, 28, and 34- year-old Prathapan Sabratnam, both of Ajax, were sentenced Friday to custodial terms by an Ontario Court judge who said their crimes warranted jail time. Justice Donald Halikowski sen- tenced Mr. Velupiallai to two years less a day and Mr. Sabratnam to a year in jail for their roles in the scam, which saw data-stealing equipment and pinhole cameras in- stalled in two Pickering Pizza Pizza outlets. The operation saw more than $38,000 stolen from four major banks, prosecutor JulieAnne Barrett said. Ms. Barrett called for jail time, which she said would serve the dual purpose of condemning the actions of the convicted men while deter- ring others from committing what’s become a pervasive crime. “There can be no question this is not a victimless crime,” Ms. Barrett said. “This is an organized, sophis- ticated, multi-level crime in which all members of the public are ulti- mately victims.” Durham fraud investigators began surveillance on the sub- jects last year, eventually closing in on suspects after they found men dismantling what they said were card-skimming machines -- which record the data from strips on legiti- mate cards -- and pinhole cameras, used to record the PIN numbers entered on Interac pads by custom- ers. Armed with a search warrant, cops raided a home on Unsworth Crescent in Ajax where they found evidence including blank cards, instruments used to create forged cards and reams of PIN numbers. Police alleged Mr. Velupiallai, an employee at both restaurants, had helped accomplices gain ac- cess to the premises and install equipment; Mr. Sabratnam owned the Unsworth Crescent home cops raided and was deemed to be an ac- complice. Justice Halikowski noted the card-skimming operation was occurring “in plain sight” of the home owners. Mr. Sabratnam’s wife was also convicted on a charge of possession of card skimming equipment and was given a suspended sentence. The accused were ordered the pay restitution in the amount of $38,862 and will be on probation following their jail terms. 2008 Water and Sewer User Rates & Other Related Fees & Charges PUBLIC NOTICE This is to give notice that the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham intends to pass a by-law regulating the Water and Sewer User Rates and other water and sewer fees and charges.

Help troubled girls in the community Gunfire killed one, wounded two By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Another eyewitness to the slaying of an Ajax man has testi- fied he saw a muzzle flash in the midst of a group of people who appeared to be embroiled in a dispute. Durham College gradu- ate Ryan Beattie testified Friday he was dancing with a friend in a pub on the Oshawa campus around 1 a.m. on April 3, 2004, when his attention was drawn by what appeared to be an argument near the main doors of the bar. “I just heard louder voic- es ... that made me turn around,” Mr. Beattie testi- fied. “Then I saw an arm com- ing out with a gun ... and a few seconds later I saw a gun go off.” Mr. Beattie is one of a number of pub patrons and workers to testify at the trial of Neven Belic, charged with second-degree murder in the death of 21-year-old Eugene ”Dwayne” Moses of Ajax. Mr. Moses, a Durham grad who joined friends at the pub that night, died after being shot in the chest. Mr. Belic, of Toronto, is also charged with two counts of aggravated as- sault in the wounding of two other young men who were hit by bullets during the melee. A number of witnesses have said tensions in the pub arose after the arrival of a group of young men who strode through the bar intentionally bumping into people, including Mr. Moses. Witnesses have said gunfire broke out when two groups came together near the front doors of the pub. Mr. Beattie testified that while he hadn’t noticed any earlier dispute, he became aware of raised voices and turned to look just as a shot was fired. He said he didn’t see the shooter, just an arm extended in the crowd. The shot was fired “only about two feet” from Mr. Moses, he said. The victim staggered back after the shot was fired and then people in the bar scattered in all directions, Mr. Beattie said. When he returned to the dance floor people had gathered around Mr. Moses, attempting to help him, he testified. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass and a jury, continues.

Mayor Steve Parish said a decision on whether to hold a byelection or fill the vacancy with an appointment will be made at the Nov. 22 general govern- ment committee. Action taken at the committee meeting would have to be ratified at the council meeting Nov. 26. “Two weeks from tonight, you’ll have a pretty clear picture of when the bye- lection will be and what the rules will be,” the mayor said. He added with a “high degree of assurance” that council will support a byelection over an appointment. “The main question is when that should be,” he added, noting it will be held sometime between mid-February and early April. Fitting a byelection into March would be difficult because of the school break and Easter. Another factor is Ward 2 is growing and “today, the voters’ list is woefully inaccurate,” the mayor said. The Ward 2 seat had been held by Joe Dickson, who was elected MPP in the provincial election last month. In a report to council’s general gov- ernment committee last week, clerk Marty de Rond noted the “very pre- liminary estimate” to holding a byelec- tion would be between $30,000 and $40,000. That doesn’t include “the considerable cost of Town staff that is required” and that would be funded through the Town’s operating budget. The cost for the election would come from the election reserve. He noted the cost of an appointment would be negligible.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Accountability changes at local level welcomed P roposed changes to municipal governance brings to mind the adage, “if a tree falls in the forest...” That’s the same question the media constantly pon- ders when dealing with municipal boards and councils. If councillors deal with public issues in camera (closed to the public) how would anyone know? Bill C-130 the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act means that starting January 2008, members of the public will have the ability to file a complaint if they suspect a municipal council, board or committee is meeting in pri- vate for any reason other than those permitted under the Municipal Act. It’s important that politicians more closely scrutinize issues before arbitrarily going in camera. This change will help. Under this new legislation, municipalities have to ap- point a closed-meeting investigator by Dec. 31, or else the Ontario Ombudsman will assume the responsibility by default and at no cost to municipalities. The change is needed. Ever since the Province allowed councils to hold private ‘education’ sessions, some councils have taken advantage of its ambiguity. Under education sessions, councils are allowed to meet as long as discussions don’t advance the business or deci- sion making of the body. Politicians would suggest actual motions and decisions would constitute ‘advancing business.’ We suggest any form of debate advances the decision making process. Pickering had the right idea by appointing a mayor’s task force made up of those with a vested interest in ac- countable government. Pickering clearly dealt with this issue early on where some others are left scrambling to meet the deadline. Oshawa Mayor John Gray said the City doesn’t have the time to set up such a group. Instead, Oshawa will send out 1,400 surveys to the general public. We’re not sure why the City thinks that would be more effective than having a group of experts wrestle with the issue. When it comes to physician recruitment, we would rather have a committee made up of health experts and community leaders than basing our decisions from random surveys. All councils should take these changes seriously and ensure information that should be discussed in the open is not debated behind closed doors. A mong the values we’re taught dur- ing our school days are respect for people and their opinions, regard for the feelings of others and the appropriate ways in which to deal with conflict. In short, we’re taught to get along. But here’s a word of advice: If you’ve got a problem with the Durham District School Board or its employees, you’d best just keep it to yourself. Such has been the experience of Brooklin resident Paul MacGregor, who over the past year or so has had a number of disagreements with the principal at his children’s school. To you and I these matters would seem quite trivial, but they led, to say the least, to bad blood between the parties; it culmi- nated last June with Mr. MacGregor receiv- ing a notice of trespass that prohibits him from going onto the school property. After that development, he says he went to his trustee asking how to have a principal disciplined or removed. The answer from the trustee, Mr. MacGregor said, was this: Start a petition to gauge the level of concern among the school community. (The trustee won’t comment, but didn’t deny advising a petition.) So Mr. MacGregor used an on-line form to post his litany of complaints and request- ed supporters to sign. Which a number of them did. And then the board became aware of it. In a letter dated Oct. 9 a board lawyer demanded the petition be taken off the Internet. Mr. MacGregor refused. On Oct. 30 he received notice he was being sued for defamation. The board is seeking $100,000 in damages, as well as costs and an apology. One hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Mac- Gregor earns $13 an hour at his factory job. He’s unsure as to how he’ll defend himself against these officials -- who earn substan- tially more and have a budget that allows for the hiring of litigation lawyers. Some of the comments on the petition probably do go too far. But questions arise. What’s defamation, and what’s fair comment? Should this fam- ily face the possibility of financial ruin to defend themselves against this action? And finally, this: Is the board being rea- sonable or is this how bullies behave?

Jeff Mitchell staff writer Proceed with caution if you have beef Some U.K. roundabouts far complex than those in Ajax To the editor: Re: the new traffic calming measures on Pickering Beach Road (roundabouts). I have read in the paper that since the installation of the two roundabouts, there has been some concern as to the correct usage- they are not common here- and I thought readers might be interested to know in England roundabouts are pres- ent every few hundred metres (or so it seems)! My sister lives near Swindon in Wilt- shire where there is a ‘Magic Round- about’. This consists of five clockwise mini roundabouts, an outer clockwise round- about and an inner clockwise round- about. Barbara Black Ajax Editor’s Note: see www.mediamash.ca for video instructions on using round- abouts. Customers won’t put up with being put off To the editor: My young niece, a real go-getter, recently got her own paper route delivering the local paper and went to the local bank to open a savings account. She was accompanied by her mother where they were briskly informed they have to make an ap- pointment. They were told to come back the next day. They promptly went to the competition where she will probably do her banking for years to come. Bottom line, my niece found out first-hand, customers will go elsewhere if they are not treated properly. Rick Foster Whitby Big Brothers and Big Sisters benefit from Santa Claus Fund By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Not everyone has jobs or the wonderful things others may have, says the se- nior caseworker for Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering. That’s part of the reason Monique Mara is glad to assist with the Santa Claus Fund each year. The fund was established by Toronto Star founder Jo- seph E. Atkinson and turned 100 two years ago. “I think what they do to help children at Christ- mas is wonderful,” Ms. Mara said. Names are provided by Ontario Works and Ms. Mara is the contact between the Toronto Star and the client. She basically calls up families of the children the organization services, and asks if they’re interested in receiving a gift box. She stressed that all information is private and she’ll only offer it to the foundation once the fam- ilies approve. To qualify for a gift box, children must belong to a low-income family, and Ms. Mara said people are usually “very receptive and very appreciative.“ It’s great to be able to assist a child to get at least a gift at Christmas,” she said. “Getting a gift is a huge thing for some of these kids because some of them don’t get anything besides that. And that unfortunately is still reality in our society.” Ms. Mara believes that Christmas is the time of giving. She said a lot of the children she works with come from “working poor” families who can usually only afford necessities, “so it’s been an asset for them to have extra for their children at Christmas, which is great.” “You want the kids to have a good Christmas - you hope, anyway - and I think every little bit helps,” she said.

Index Energy plans to invest $50 million to develop a state-of-the art cogeneration/ district energy facility in Ajax, which will generate electricity, steam, hot water and chilled water, primarily from wood bio- mass, a renewable energy source. District energy involves the utilization of one heat source to heat multiple buildings. Cogeneration involves the production of electricity and useful heat energy simul- taneously from a common fuel source. The Ajax Steam Plant is planned to undergo a total redevelopment incorpo- rating both district energy and cogenera- tion technology in order to achieve the highest level of effi ciency. See the following link to David Su- zuki’s Foundation in support of district energy http://www.davidsuzuki.org/Cli- mate_Change/Solutions/Buildings.asp. Development Potential The cogeneration/district energy fa- cility has the potential to generate up to 50 megawatts of electricity utiliz- ing wood biomass as the primary fuel source and natural gas as a backup fuel source. The Town of Ajax has a pres- ent electricity demand of approximately 80 megawatts. Therefore, the proposed cogeneration/district energy facility has the potential if fully developed to pro- vide the Town of Ajax with a substantial portion of its electricity demand from a renewable energy resource. In light of the forecasted shortage of electricity in Ontario, which is further magnifi ed as the Province phases out its coal genera- tion facilities, the Town of Ajax would benefi t signifi cantly from having such a development in its midst. Moreover, In- dex Energy is prepared to sell a portion of its electricity to the Town of Ajax to ensure adequate electricity supply to the Town and to provide back up electric- ity in the event of an emergency. “We anticipate that the electricity generated from our facility will be classifi ed as a green energy source (the facility needs to be eco logo certifi ed).” The Ajax Steam Plant has previously qualifi ed for car- bon credits and we expect that the new cogeneration/district energy facility will qualify as well. Index Energy is prepared to offer the Town of Ajax a royalty in connection with the steam/hot water and/or chilled water distribution lines, which would provide the Town with another source of revenue. Emission Control Index Energy will be incorporating the latest emission control technology to meet the most stringent emissions stan- dards in Ontario today. Index Energy offered to conduct a joint study with the Town of Ajax to determine the most suitable emission control technology to achieve the above objective. Index En- ergy remains hopeful that the Town will decide to participate in this study. The facility will utilize wood biomass as its primary fuel source, which is a renewable resource that has been strongly promoted by the Kyoto Protocol as a clean fuel, car- bon neutral alternative. The reasoning is AJAX’S GREEN ENERGY SOLUTION! >> see next page Ajax Steam Plant – North View Front View of the New Ajax District Energy Plant Index Energy is planning to make a substantial investment in the revitalization of the existing steam plant structure. Offi ce Perspective of the New Ajax District Energy Plant Index Energy is planning to construct new offi ce space at the Ajax Steam Plant to provide offi ce space for its Canadian headquarters. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 18 2007 that the carbon dioxide absorbed by trees is released when the tree is burned. Moreover, methane gas is released, in ad- dition to carbon dioxide if a tree is left to decompose in a landfi ll, which is another ‘Greenhouse Gas’ that is contributing to global warming. A case can also be made that by using wood biomass as a fuel source reduces carbon emissions, as it re- duces the overall dependency on electri- cal energy generated from other sources, like coal, oil and other fossil fuels that are contributing to global warming. Steam Customer- Based Generation In Sweden entire towns benefi t from the operation of cogeneration/district energy facilities both in residential and commercial applications. Index Energy is committed to realizing this objective in Ajax so that the development of the facility will benefi t both residents and businesses and result in a reliable energy supply at a reduced cost, which is gen- erated from a renewable energy source. As part of realizing this objective, Index Energy is actively engaged in develop- ing steam customer-based generation opportunities in Ajax. Steam customer- based generation is only possible with infrastructure in place such as a cogen- eration/district energy facility (Ajax Steam Plant). The benefi t to the Town of Ajax by implementing steam cus- tomer-based generation would be enor- mous and change the energy market in Ajax signifi cantly for the benefi t of local businesses and residents. The resulting effect would be to bring the advantages of cogeneration directly to the energy consumer. Electricity will be generated from a turbine utilizing high pressure steam at the Ajax Steam Plant and the residual low pressure steam will be delivered to our customers via a dedicated steam dis- tribution system. We have allocated $1.5 million to improve the existing steam dis- tribution system. Steam customer-based generation involves the steam being used a second time to generate electricity and then the exhaust thermal heat exiting the back end of the turbine can be used for heating purposes. The resulting effect is that the steam is used three times or tri- generation. This process can benefi t both industry and residents in both factory and apartment type applications, by in- sulating the energy consumer against the high cost of natural gas and electricity, as a small turbine can be installed in such settings and pass on the benefi t of higher energy effi ciency directly to the consum- er. We anticipate that steam customer - based cogeneration will transform the energy market in Ajax by providing low cost renewable energy to both residential and industrial applications that will in- crease Ajax residents’ standard of living and provide business with a competitive advantage found no where else in the GTA. Index Energy intends to use its engineers to manage and maintain the turbines installed at its customers’ facili- ties for on-site generation. The cogeneration/district energy fa- cility was designed by lead architect Reg Freethy. www.indexenergy.net >> from previous page Ajax Steam Plant – East View View of Canopy over Wood Storage Yard Index Energy is planning to construct a canopy over the existing wood biomass yard.

They were at a commu- nity Christmas party and instead of playing with the other children, two-year-old Jessica was content to sim- ply twirl a piece of Christ- mas tree tinsel in front of her face. Soon after, she was diag- nosed with autism and the Barna family began the dif- ficult journey that all those with special needs children embark on, searching for the resources, services and ad- vocacy that would get Jessica the support she needed. It turns out, most of that was found in one place -- Resources for Exceptional Children and Youth (RFECY) Durham Region. “We used some other agencies, but Resources was the one that stuck with us every step of the way and made sure Jessica had what she needed for every stage of her life,” Mr. Barna says. “They filled in the gaps that other agencies couldn’t; they were our biggest sup- port.” From helping Jessica se- cure a spot in a conventional day care, to consulting with the family about her chang- ing needs, RFECY worked with the Barnas until Jessica turned 16 and was accepted into a group home in Hunts- ville, where she still lives today at age 19. Mr. Barna returned the favour by volunteering his time as a member of the RFECY board of directors, eventually becoming its president, a position he held for 12 years. He was among dozens of volunteers and com- munity partners honoured at an awards night on Oct. 19, celebrating the agency’s 20th anniversary and all the people who helped it reach that milestone. “Our success over the past 20 years has been very de- pendant on our volunteers and community partners. We couldn’t do it without them,” said executive di- rector Suzanne Tigwell. “We’re so pleased we’ve been able to help so many families over the years.” RFECY serves families across Durham Region, pro- viding support for special needs children from the time they’re babies until they turn 18. Programs include en- hanced staffing -- which helps children take part in traditional day care pro- grams by bringing in an additional staff person - - children’s mental health funding, a resource library, help with case management and service plans and family networking events. And while Ms. Tigwell can’t thank volunteers like Mr. Barna enough for mak- ing it all happen, he says the gratitude is all his. “Jessica has come such a long way, we can’t believe it. She didn’t talk until she was nine and today she calls us from the group home. She sets the table and goes on community outings and does so many things,” Mr. Barna says. “She couldn’t have done it without Re- sources and we’ll never for- get that.” For more information, visit www.rfecdurham.com.

Bernard Lord, the former premier of New Brunswick, said, “Expect changes in the health-care system.” Change to the system will be “one of the most impor- tant issues in the next 10 years. It’s important to dis- cuss, debate and plan for the change rather than let them happen on their own,” Mr. Lord stated. He was speaking at a Clinical Services Planning Think Tank, hosted by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) last week in Oshawa. The event attracted about 300 people, including adminis- trators, physicians, nurses and union leadership from hospitals in the Central East LHIN coverage area. The session at Tosca Ban- quet Hall was held to dis- cuss the future delivery of acute care services in the LHIN area. In addition to being the former premier, Mr. Lord is also the scholar-in-resi- dence with McGill Universi- ty Health Centre’s Institute for Strategic Analysis and Innovation. Earlier this year, he joined the law firm of McCarthy Tetrault as senior counsel. “Change is coming, so the health-care system must change also,” Mr. Lord stat- ed. “Ten years ago, there were no wait times for a pet scan in New Brunswick be- cause there was no pet scan. We can do more today than ever before. We need to adapt to all of these chang- es,” he noted. People often asked why Canada doesn’t have the health-care system it had in the 1980s or the 1960s. “In many ways, the system is a lot better than it ever was. We provide more care, more services than ever before,” he stated. Mr. Lord noted Wayne Gretzky once said he was so good because he’d “skate to where the puck is going to be” while Charles Darwin’s theory was that species that adapted, survived and pros- pered. “Health care has to skate to where the puck will be and it has to adapt so the health-care system can adapt and prosper,” he said. “We all know change, improvements and renewal are needed. It never ends. To succeed, we need a clear vision to make priorities. Then, we have to follow through on implementa- tion. If we don’t focus on implementation, then the best plans won’t work,” Mr. Lord stated. “That doesn’t mean change is easy. It just means there’s a greater chance of success.” One man said, “My con- cern is you encourage us to make a plan, but at the end of the day, someone has to make the tough call.” “No doubt about it,” Mr. Lord stated. “I’m convinced here in this province and across the country, people are willing to make those tough calls.” He cited the example of a heart transplant doctor with one available heart and three possible patients. “Those are really tough decisions. When people in the system say ‘we need this change’, that makes it easier for the leaders to make a decision,” Mr. Lord said. “The work you are doing will have a significant im- pact on health care,” he said. “I’m not here to say what internal plan you should adopt. Clearly, that’s your job and clearly it’s not my job.” “The message of challenge and change, the two go hand-in-hand. To make it sustainable tomor- row means making changes today,” Mr. Lord stated. “I believe in a publicly- funded system. If we don’t make change to the public system, we’ll end up with more in the private system and there will be more in- equities. If you don’t make change, someone will convince a judge to make changes,” he noted. “If citizens don’t feel they’re getting the service and system they want, they will get it. When changes are well-thought through and implemented, they will last,” Mr. Lord stated. Private health care “is part of solution. I don’t be- lieve it’s the only solution,” he added.

First exchange students arrive on campus at UOIT Local students encouraged to go abroad for study By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There’s a bit more interna- tional flavour on campus at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) as it welcomed its first-ever exchange students this fall. The school has been part of international agreements with overseas universities in pre- vious years, but this is the first time students have chosen to come to Oshawa. Two students from France and one from Germany began their studies at UOIT in September. Selim Maier, a fourth-year mechanical en- gineering student from the University of Stutt- gart in Germany, is one of them. “I never have been out of Europe and I wanted to go to another continent. I wanted to go to North America and my first preference was Canada.” Mr. Maier came as part of the Ontario/ Baden-Wurttemberg exchange program, which includes 15 Ontario universities. He chose UOIT because of its size. “It’s a small university and you aren’t just a number. Teachers know you by name, staff know you by name and I like the small cam- pus.” Matt Milovick, director of academic plan- ning and operations, said there are other rea- sons exchange students choose UOIT. “I think it’s probably the niche programs that we have,” he said. “I also think it’s the proximity to Toronto.” Mr. Milovick speculates that a UOIT stu- dent’s interest in studying in France, he’s leav- ing in January, may have gotten the ball roll- ing. “I don’t think we ever had an interested student on this end to go abroad, I think when they saw our interested student, they directed others to us,” he said. In addition, a group of 10 education stu- dents is headed to Turkey in April. The school plans to promote international exchange opportunities with information ses- sions for students. “If it were up to me, I would love to see 25 per cent of our students go out over the next five years, although that’s probably ambitious. But the more the better,” said Mr. Milovick. UOIT is looking at expanding the number of exchange agreements, though he points out all partner institutions must meet quality stan- dards. The school recently inked a deal with a consortium of universities in India. Many companies are globally minded, he said, and international experience is valuable in many fields, including business, science and engineering. “I’d love to see all our business students go to India or China because that’s where the ac- tion is,” said Mr. Milovick. Meanwhile, Mr. Maier said his classes have provided a new perspective. “I think there’s no main difference regard- ing the content, but the teaching methods are totally different.” At UOIT, students have to do lab reports, projects and write mid-terms and finals. The work is dispersed through the semester. “In Germany, in most of my courses, we need only final exams,” he said, adding he didn’t study much for recent mid-terms since he’d already done the exercises and learned the content. Mr. Maier said he didn’t find the adjustment to Canada too difficult, because the two coun- tries are culturally similar. He finds Canadians to be friendly. “I came in and sat down beside another student. He immediately asked who I am and we got into a conversation,” he said. He plans to explore the country further with his parents and one of his sisters following the completion of his program “I would recommend every student to do such a year abroad. It’s a big experience and you get to know many new people.” Study abroad options for UOIT students The university is always looking at new study abroad options for students. Students can participate in exchanges in France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Sweden and Turkey.

The same is true for your car, including antifreeze and snow tires. But how many of us are aware if the need to ‘shape up’— to ready our bodies and muscle for the winter season? Healthy feet and ankles must be fi t and strong to act as accelerators, to steer, brake and absorb shock. Any weakness to these extremities can lead to injuries and even end any winter sporting season pre- maturely. Here are some ways to prepare yourself for the winter. Fitness A fi tness program should begin right now to ready your- self for the fi rst snowfall. For skiing, strong quads and ab- dominal muscles are most important. Knee bends, sit ups, crunches and skipping rope all help to strengthen your quads and abdominals. Racquet sports are equally ben- efi cial in maintaining cardiovascular benefi ts and reaction time. Greater fl exibility allows for a wider range of motion and minimizes the chance of strains. Stretch antagonistic muscle groups to maintain a point of tightness, hold for 40 to 60 seconds and release. Repeat each stretch three times. Strength of muscles is also important but overdoing it can lead to muscle tears. Warm-ups are most important before beginning the activity, especially for cold weather sports. Warm-up ex- ercises help stretch muscles and allow for greater mobil- ity. This minimizes the chance of injuries by allowing the muscles to be more responsive and act as better shock absorbers. Stream the part of the body used in the activ- ity; for example, your legs in skiing or skating when warm- ing up, but also your up- per body with circular arm swings. A cool-down period af- ter the activity is also impor- tant. A sauna or whirlpool followed by a cool shower will help. Stop the activity when you’re tired. Remem- ber, more injuries occur on that last run of the day when fatigue hampers your reactive time and you are not paying attention. Attire Winter sports require proper clothing. Upper body lay- ering will keep you warmer and always wear a hat to prevent heat loss. Proper footwear includes insulated waterproof boots or shoes. Socks must remain dry to prevent the occurrence of frostbite. Those suffering from pre-existing circula- tory problems such as dia- betes or Raynaud’s Disease should consult their medi- cal doctor. Ski boots and skates should fi t properly for a safe and uneventful activity. If the boots and skates are too loose, toes quickly get ir- ritated in the toe box. If they are too tight, pressure leads to blisters and abrasions, causing painful feet, which may compromise control and circulation and lead to injuries or accidents. Do not put children in hand-me downs. Skates that are too small, too large or too wide may lack proper ankle support leading to strains, sprains or even fractures. Winter runners may unconsciously change their foot strike pattern, which can lead to overuse injuries. To in- crease traction on slipper surfaces, runners may land with the entire foot instead of the natural heel-toe strike. Lateral slippage may lead to groin pulls. Some runners are trying spikes that fi t over their shoes when jogging on slippery surfaces. Some common winter problems to watch out for are: 1. Frostbite: Skin freezes when exposed to cold tem- peratures and high winds. With longer exposure, blood ves- sels constrict and skin colour changes from blue to white. A feeling of numbness or burning may indicate frostbite. Wet feet are more prone to frostbite as are people with a previous history of frostbite. Prevention includes changing wet clothing and avoiding the intake of alcoholic bever- ages. Shield yourself from high winds and keep moving. Treatment involves putting fi ngers in your armpit or touch- ing warm skin. Remove clothing from the affected area and avoid rubbing the skin. Immerse the affected area in warm water (40 degrees Celsius) for 20 to 30 minutes until the affected area turns red. If blisters develop, add an antiseptic such as Betadine to the skin. If no water is available, keep affected areas warm with blankets or in contact with another person’s skin. See your medical doc- tor as soon as possible. 2. Blisters: Friction from ill-fi tting footgear can cause blisters.

Want to make positive changes to your personal, professional or spiri- tual lives? Psychotherapy can help with this and many other aspects of your life. A professionally trained psycho- therapist provides an opportunity to discuss what is going on in your life with someone who cares but isn’t personally involved or attached to the outcome. They create a safe place and facilitate you becoming more aware and accepting of your- self and others in your life. You can begin to understand why you do what you do, feel what you feel, act like you act. This increased awareness, es- pecially about emotions that are holding you back, be it anger, guilt, shame, whatever your specifi c emo- tion is, is the fi rst step in a process that allows you to let go of those negative emotions and begin the healing pro- cess. Letting go opens the door for feelings of peace, happiness, excite- ment, creativity, and other wonder- ful emotions to enter your life. Also, when something inside is freed up, you become more aware of your gifts and talents, so your life can be- come peaceful and exciting at the same time! A psychotherapist will provide you with support during your process of increasing awareness, developing new behaviours, and becoming in- spired and motivated to attain the changes you desire. They will also provide you with many tools you can use now and in the future. Psychotherapy can help you deal with your life. Whether it is a crisis situation, a one-time situation or on- going long-term diffi culties or chal- lenges, psychotherapy can provide support and give you the skills to bet- ter deal with these situations. It can help turn feelings of being lost, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed into feelings of belonging, happiness, confi dence, self assuredness. Help is available for a wide variety of life situations including; living with a life- threatening or terminal illness, death of a family mem- ber or friend, loss of pets, empty nest syndrome, changes in em- ployment, or any other situation that has occurred in your life.

Do not pop a blister as it will be more easily infected. If it breaks on its own, disinfect it and cover it with a sterile bandage. 3. Hypothermia: This affects the entire body and involves a rapid loss of body heat. Initially shivering will generate more body heat. If shiver- ing stops, a person is not necessar- ily warmed and this is sometimes a warning sign. Continued exposure to cold temperatures can lead to hypo- thermia. This is a medical emergen- cy and professional care should be sought. 4. Strains and Sprains: These are common injuries, especially in skiing and skating. They should be treated with rest, ice compressions and el- evation of the limb (RICE). Winter can be a fun season if prop- er care is taken. Attention to muscle fl exibility, proper clothing and warm- up exercises will ensure a season of injury-free fun. Ronald Klein is a podiatrist and foot specialist who owns three foot clinics.

The 22-year-old Pickering goalie insists she wants to be treated no dif- ferently than any other player in the Eastern Ontario Senior ‘A’ Hockey League, where she recently made history as the league’s first female player by strapping on the pads for the Marmora Lakers. The Whitby Dunlops certainly obliged, pouring 10 pucks past Hur- ley en route to a typically dominant 13-2 victory over the Lakers at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. And, while consoled somewhat by the fact Marmora lost 15-0 in their previous trip to town, Hurley says she was “horrible” in the game and promises to be much better as the season moves on. “I wasn’t really in game shape and I hadn’t played in so long, so I was kind of thrown a little off guard,” says Hurley. “There’s always the potential to grow and get better, obviously, and that’s what I’m working on doing.” Hurley comes into the league with an impressive resumé, and hopes to use this gig as a stepping stone to something more. She’s well accustomed to playing with males, having played her minor hockey with Leaside in the Greater Toronto Hockey League. In fact, she was so good there, she earned a scholarship to Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, where she went on to become an all- American in her junior season with the women’s hockey team. That’s when the bad luck started. Thanks to a shoulder problem that eventually required surgery, Hurley saw limited action in her fourth and final year, then suffered a concussion playing men’s hockey this past sum- mer. She had hoped to redeem her- self by signing with the Mon Valley Thunder of the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League, but when that fell through due to visa issues, she caught on with the Lakers. “After I graduated I said, ‘You know what, that’s not really fair, I’m not ending my career on that note’. I know I’m better than that,” she says. “I just want to be on the ice right now. I aspire to go as far as I could possibly go, but I’m not going to get ahead of myself.” While she was hard on herself fol- lowing her Lakers debut, both gen- eral manager Curtis Trimble and coach Shawn Antoski cut her some slack, placing more of the blame on her teammates. And both insist she’s there on her own merit. “She’s deserving of the position she’s in and there’s no question she has the ability to play regardless of whether it’s men’s hockey or wom- en’s hockey,” says Antoski, a former NHLer. Antoski says he gave Hurley the nod against the Dunlops because he wanted to see what she could do against the best. He points out the score was only 2-1 through one pe- riod and that Hurley stopped Dun- lops captain Peter MacKellar on a breakaway during the game. “It was a great test for her and I think she matched up pretty well,” he says. “She was nervous, no question, but she did a lot of really, really good things.” Hurley will continue to play for the Lakers part-time, primarily for games closer to home in Whitby and Cooks Bay. Although she hopes to one day become a social worker, her focus remains on hockey for now, with a minor pro contract still the goal. As for playing for Canada, Hur- ley did have a sniff with the under- 22 women’s program, but it didn’t amount to much thanks to her in- juries. She hasn’t ruled out that pos- sibility down the road, though. “I haven’t given up on it, but I just put it in the back of my head until I’m back to my game again,” she says. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Pickering netminder Kira Hurley made her Eastern Ontario Senior ‘A’ Hockey League debut for the Marmora Lakers against the Whitby Dunlops at Iroquois Park recently. SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX – After searching for ap- proximately a month, the Ajax At- tack junior ‘A’ hockey team has hired a new head coach. Gordon Fournier, a former as- sistant coach with the Hamilton Junior Red Wings of the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s West Conference, was hired this week. He replaces for- mer head coach John Winder. Attack general manager John Tug- nutt was effusive in his praise of Fournier, who met with players on Friday night and will be behind the bench for league games against the Toronto Junior Canadians and the Durham Fury this weekend. “He has extensive junior ex- perience and is a very qualified coach. He was the best candidate and we’re very, very thrilled to get him,” says Tugnutt. Tugnutt said six interviews with prospective coaches were com- pleted, with 15 resumes landing on his desk over the past month. “There were three in the run- ning, but Gord was our No. 1 choice,” he says. Tugnutt says Fournier started his second season in Hamilton as an assistant coach and became the interim head coach at the start of this season before parting com- pany with the Junior Red Wings. “We called them and wanted to get a feel for his character,” says Tugnutt. “There were no bad things said. It was all positive. We didn’t get into detail as to why he left.” Fournier has also served as an evaluator with the national under- 17 hockey program in the past. “He knows what he’s talking about and will demand respect from the players and he’ll give re- spect to the players. He’s a players’ coach and we’re very lucky to have him,” says Tugnutt.
