Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty recently announced that this spring, his government will introduce legislation on the issue. Nova Scotia banned smoking in cars with kids in December. “Personally, I would support such legisla- tion,” says Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical officer of health, “I think it’s clear that sec- ond-hand smoke affects the health of infants and children and you could get quite high levels of second-hand smoke in an enclosed area such as a car.” The Region’s polls show fewer people are smoking in their vehicles every year. “In 2007, of those that we polled, about 80 per cent said they don’t allow smoking in their vehicle. That’s up from 69 per cent in 2001,” says Dr. Kyle. He says second-hand smoke is linked with disease and premature death in children. The laundry list of potential problems includes increased risk for Sudden Infant Death Syn- drome, acute respiratory infection, ear prob- lems and more severe asthma. Pre-natal and post-natal exposure has also been linked to attention disorders in children. While second-hand smoke is a danger in WHAT SNOW?

Now in her 40s, the Pickering resident had epileptic seizures since infancy. Her life changed in July, when Dr. Taufik Val- iante, a neurosurgeon at Toronto Western Hospital, operated to remove a brain le- sion, ending the seizures. “I grew up with epilepsy my entire life. I had my first convulsion when I was nine weeks old. I didn’t know anything but that,” she says. Her doctors had tried for 10 years to convince her to have the surgery earlier, but as the mother of two young boys, Ms. Adcock worried about what would hap- pen to them if something went wrong. “It’s not surgery to take lightly,” Ms. Ad- cock says. “If it doesn’t go the way it’s supposed to, what about my kids? The time we did it, they were in a better position.” Her sons are Brian, 17, and Stephen, 14. A neurologist “wanted me to go forward with the surgery,” telling her “this is your best shot,” she notes. She went to Toronto Western Hospital to meet Dr. Valiante, whom Ms. Adcock describes as “a terrific doctor. He thought he could help me. I went ahead with the testing.” After running some tests, the doctor came back “and said ‘we could do this’. “I had a lesion in my left temporal lobe,” Ms. Adcock states. The surgery took almost four hours and, asked if she’s fine now, Ms. Adcock says, “Touch wood, yes.” Her seizures ranged from “staring off for a few seconds,” which most people wouldn’t realize was a seizure, to falling down. “I would be in a discussion and lose my train of thought. When I’m back, it’s a totally different time,” Ms. Adcock says. Her sons don’t have the affliction and she says it doesn’t typically run in fami- lies. “Most who have it have it because of an accident, a sports-related accident or a car accident.” Doctors think Ms. Adcock got it because her mother spent three days in labour with her. “They suspect it was a birth trauma, es- pecially because it showed up as early as it did.” She doesn’t work, but has volunteered for years at the school her sons attended. She’s offered her services to Epilepsy Durham Region, “if they can find some- thing for me to do from home.” She’s not allowed to drive and that “complicates things. You learn to adapt.” When she moved to Pickering in 1985, “I didn’t know Epilepsy Durham existed.” She was walking through the Pickering Town Centre when she came upon a booth the organization had set up. “It’s one of those things that happen by chance. They helped me hook up with other people,” Ms. Adcock says. The Durham organization is also setting up an Outreach Table in the Oshawa Cen- tre on March 17. A session, Living Well with Epilepsy: A Parent’s Forum, is being held on April 2. And, on April 20, the group holds a fund- raising walk and run in Oshawa.

Since the July surgery, she hasn’t experienced any seizures. DURHAM — In honour of Epilepsy Aware- ness Month in March, epilepsy agencies across the province are launching a unique initiative to help youth be heard and elimi- nate the stigma surrounding epilepsy. The Epilepsy Youth Challenge will train ambassadors across the province to “speak up and be heard” about the challenges of living with epilepsy. The youth ambassadors will create educa- tional materials from their own experiences, challenging their peers to be more knowl- edgeable, tolerant and accepting of people living with this disorder. “This is an exciting opportunity for our young people to take control of their lives and promote healthy living with epilepsy” said Dianne McKenzie, executive director with Epilepsy Durham Region, which pro- vides programming and services to more than 561,000 local residents. To get involved call 1-866-EPILEPSY or visit the Epilepsy Youth Challenge website at www.seizures.ca. Youth with epilepsy can speak out this month Government threatening election if not repealed By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If Dan McTeague and his fellow Liberals want to save his private member’s bill on RESPs, they’ll have to fight an election over it. The Conservative gov- ernment is threatening to force an election over the issue, saying implement- ing the measure would be too costly and could push the budget into a deficit. “It imperils the fiscal plan of the govern- ment,” said Fi- nance Minister and Whitby MP Jim Flaherty. “It runs the risk of putting the bal- anced budget of our government into a Liberal deficit. We are not going to run a defi- cit, so we’re going to kill the bill.” Mr. McTeague, the Lib- eral MP for Pickering-Scar- borough East, put forward a private member’s bill in May of 2006 that would make reg- istered education savings plans dol- lar-for-dollar tax deductible, the same as RRSPs. The bill passed last week when the three op- position parties joined together to get it through the house. “It had strong support, not from the government. They opposed it every step of the way,” Mr. McTeague said in an interview. The bill would allow up to $5,000 a year in contribu- tions, to a maximum of $50,000. The government argues the measure would be too expensive, costing at least $900 million in tax revenue. “The figures could well be higher and we’re not taking that risk,” Mr. Fla- herty said. While initial re- ports of the program have proven popular with par- ents, Mr. Flaherty stated it’s not “within our fiscal framework.” Mr. McTeague said the measure would cost “$650 million. That’s the Depart- ment of Finance estimate. The amount could be greater, depending on how many take this up.” He defended the cost, saying the money would be made up “in the long term with higher-paying jobs. It’s an investment today for kids tomorrow.” The aim of the bill is “to make sure every stu- dent has access to higher education,” Mr. McTeague said. “This is the perfect vehi- cle.” The cost of a four-year education in 2020 could total $100,000, he said. “I don’t see too many families who can afford that amount of money,” Mr. McTeague stated. “It’s an investment in our na- tion.” -- files from TorStar News A PASSION FOR COMFORT PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE Genuin Soft Leather, Absolute Comfort We've Got Your Size ¤ Remember, all inserts, including those on glossy paper, can be recycled with the rest of your newspaper through your blue box Recycling program.

It would be the lat- est step in a series of provincial measures that have looked to re- duce smoking, including banning smoking in public places and work environments and higher taxes on cigarettes, increasing prices. And it seems to be working. “We have seen, in the province as a whole, a general trend to- wards a reduction in smoking,” says Dr. Kyle. The Region’s health department enforces public and workplace smoking bans, sales to minors and display bans which kick in at the end of the month. But he thinks the police will likely pick up the ball on the ban in cars with kids. “My expectation would be that it would be enforced by police officers who already have the responsibility to enforce the Highway Traffic Act,” he says. PICKERING — A woman and her dog were able to escape an early morning fire thanks to work- ing smoke alarms. The fire, in a home on Ramble- berry Avenue in Pickering, began in the laundry room of the house shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday. The smoke alarm woke the woman, who escaped and called 911. Steve Fowlds, a fire inspector with the Pickering Fire Services, says the importance of having working smoke alarms can’t be understated. “They’re crucial. If the smoke alarm hadn’t woken her up, we could be looking at a very bad situ- ation,” Mr. Fowlds says. “The fire got bad very quickly by the time she got out and called 911.” Fire crews were called at 1:18 a.m. and upon arrival quickly had the fire extinguished. The blaze caused about $100,000 in damage, most of it from water and smoke. The home isn’t habit- able until repairs are done, Mr. Fowlds states. There were no injuries. Fire causes extensive damage to Pickering home Correction DURHAM — Organizers expect 400 people to participate in the Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax- Pickering Bowl for Kids Sake from March 28 to 30 at Rouge Hill Bowl, 111 Island Rd., in Scarborough (Port Union Road and Hwy. 401).

Pathways to Student Success, a system that allows students to study practical topics in fields they want to work in upon graduation, will offer 80 programs in the 2008/2009 school year at 246 sites throughout the region. In 2006/2007, the year Pathways was introduced, there were only 45 programs offered at 80 sites, John Beatty, education officer, and Rose Retsinas, employability skills facilitator for the Durham District School Board, told the board’s standing committee Monday. “This kind of program helps students focus and gives them direc- tion; a destination of where they can go is clearly indicated. They could study to become a personal support worker or a nurse, for example,” said Mr. Beatty. “Programs often evolve due to exper- tise in the schools and from the teaching staff,” he added in reference to the huge array of programs offered. Students who enrol in one of the programs must attend their home high school in Grade 9 and can then attend classes wherever they’re available once they begin Grade 10. The student or his/her parents are responsible for the student’s transportation to and from the site of the classes, which are located in high schools, at Durham College, at the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology, and at the Trent University Os- hawa campus. Students can do anything from tak- ing a few classes in an area of interest to them, like automotive mechanics, to taking a full-blown specialist high skills major program, such as construction, culinary and hospitality excellence in foods (CHEF), health education active learning (HEAL), horticulture and land- scaping, or transportation. All students in Grades 6 to 8 get a copy of the Pathways to Success program. Stu- dent trustee Meaghann McConney told trustees that the program is an excellent resource that helped her tremendously. The Durham District School Board was one of only 27 boards across the prov- ince involved in the Pathways pilot pro- gram in 2006/2007, said Mr. Beatty. The 2008/2009 edition of Pathways to Student Success is available on the board’s website, www.durham.edu. on.ca.

Durham police believe the same two suspects are responsible for both inci- dents, in which bandits made off with cigarettes, lottery tickets and cash. The first incident occurred at about 4:50 a.m. when two masked men, one armed with a large knife, robbed the 7-11 store on Rossland Road W. at Harwood Avenue in Ajax. A clerk was accosted and forced by the robbers to open a cash register. The thieves also emptied the worker’s wallet, police said. They fled after filling a bag with cash, lottery tick- ets and cigarettes. A short time later, at 5:45 a.m., two men robbed a Mac’s Milk store on Brock Street at Manning Road, emptying a clerk’s pockets and taking off with cash and cigarettes. The suspects are described as two black men, one tall and thin, and the other about five foot 10 with a medium build. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 5355 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

The response from the District School Board was interesting. Although the Fraser Report can be misleading, it is a tool that parents can use to get an independent assessment of these schools. If parents are looking at this report and are concerned then it would make sense that the Durham District School Board address these issues. It was mentioned that Catholic schools in Durham Region are steadily improving their academic scores due to improving teacher instructional prac- tices and supporting school adminis- trators. If these changes have moved the school from a rating of 5.5 to 9.5 then the changes were successful. If this report is going to be released yearly, and parents are indeed ques- tioning the ratings, then the school board should take this into consider- ation. As a parent, getting involved in your children’s school is excellent but some- times this is not enough. The people who have the power to make changes need to listen to the con- cerns of parents and the public. Improving teacher instructional prac- tices, assessing the Math and English curriculum and making necessary adjustments and support from parents might be something to consider. We should not be comfortable with a rating of 5.5. Maria Wallace Ajax Developing Seaton lands big mistake To the editor: Re: First Seaton subdivision applica- tions submitted, Feb. 20. As a student of urban planning at the University of Waterloo and a resident of Durham Region, I believe developing the Seaton lands north of Pickering is a big mistake. It is without question the land exchange that led to the current situ- ation, a deal that saved environmen- tally sensitive land on the Oak Ridges Moraine. However, the solution to environmen- tally sustainable development will not come through the relocation of develop- ment to non-protected areas of the GTA. What many people are unaware of is that the Seaton lands are nearly as envi- ronmentally sensitive as the moraine lands. Furthermore, developing land such as these will only further the effects of urban sprawl and continue to cut into the farmland and forests of our dwindling countryside. I propose that if Durham Region and its municipalities are serious about pro- tecting the environment that we stop our sprawling cities from growing outwards and begin to be more efficient in the way we use land already existing within our urban boundaries. In doing this we can locate people clos- er to their jobs or amenities and lessen the use of cars while preserving the natu- ral environment outside our cities. Ben White Oshawa Christian traditions shouldn’t change To the editor: Re: Time to end practice of Lord’s Prayer, editorial, Feb. 20. Just imagine if Canadian Christians began to emigrate to Saudi Arabia in droves and began to build churches there and then one day suggested to the gov- ernment that it was time to end Muslim prayers in their legislature. What would be their reaction, do you suppose? Probably indignation. Very likely they would tell us that Saudi Arabia was and is a Muslim country and while new citizens are free to worship as they please, it is not proper for them to expect to change that which cannot be changed -- their history. What a strange, twisted Orwellian world Canada has become. We laid out the welcome mat to offer the opportunities and blessings of our country to the whole world and now have become ashamed of the very heritage that made us what we are: free, generous, peace-loving, enterprising and hospitable. Why in the world should any Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim expect to change the direction of a Christian country when they left countries moulded by the influence of religions other than Christianity? Then again, why aren’t Christians moving in droves to their countries?

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ March 12, 2008P Yes, there’s snow. We live in Ontario I magine this scenario: Next Febru- ary and March, Durham Region gets no snow. Zilch. Not a flake. Will the people who complain now about the excess of snow be the same people complaining next year about the lack of snow? Like clockwork, every time there’s a significant snowfall the municipalities’ phone lines light up with calls from peo- ple complaining their street hasn’t been plowed yet. One has to stop and won- der if people really think the snowplow operators are lollygagging or purpose- fully ignoring certain roads. A snowplow can only physically push so much snow per minute. And the snowplow operators really are working as many hours as safely possible. If the complainers think the answer is to just get more snowplows, well, who’s going to pay for them? Then those same peo- ple will just complain about how unfair it is to have to pay so much in taxes. Granted, every now and then there is a legitimate complaint. Perhaps a street gets missed, a snowplow breaks down or some other unforeseen event occurs. Or there’s a real emergency where some- one needs to get from Point A to Point B and the route is covered in snow. But generally, complainers just like to complain because that’s their mindset. To quote two cliches, they believe the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Maybe. Sometimes. But it’s also true you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. What’s needed is not more complain- ing, but more understanding and com- passion. We live in a region that, from time to time, has been known to get an inch or two of snow. Get used to it. Understand that municipal and regional workers are doing their best to clear the roads, but it takes time. And if you do have a legiti- mate concern, it’s much more construc- tive to present it in a pleasant way than at the top of your voice, with a few cuss words thrown in for effect. As a wise person once said to a raging customer who was red in the face after making his complaint, “Sir, there are two people who care about your concern -- you and me. And right now you’re ticking off the only person who can help you.” This Week Last week a bill introduced by the federal Liberals was passed that would make RESPs tax deductible.

Jim Flaherty: 62% Dalton McGuinty: 38% Votes: 23,576 Land Over Landings members discuss best use of airport lands By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The long-time designation of lands for a possible airport in north Pickering has actu- ally turned into a golden opportu- nity, says a Brougham resident and local historian. “We’ve got this accidental bless- ing,” Mary Delaney says. “It would never have been had it not been zoned for an airport and put in trust.” Ms. Delaney, a founding mem- ber of Land Over Landings, is talk- ing about the agricultural lands in north Pickering that would have probably been paved over for sub- divisions by now had it not been for that designation, she explains, and says this affects more than just the locals. “This is not a bunch of ‘left-wing loonies’ that are fighting this,” she says. North Pickering had a recent an- niversary on March 2: it marked 36 years since the federal govern- ment announced it would expro- priate 7,500 acres of farmland for the possibility of an airport in north Pickering. A final decision still hasn’t been made, but it has brought people in north Pickering together to challenge the federal government on its decisions and plans, and some have been fighting it from day one. “One of the best things that came out of that thing is the friends you made,” LOL member Michael Rob- ertson says. Immediately after the airport plan was announced, People or Planes was formed. Mr. Robertson was part of that group, fighting to keep the community alive, and even flew one of his hand glid- ers onto Parliament Hill. Women occupied homes so they wouldn’t get demolished, and one even put herself in front of a bulldozer. At the time, Mr. Robertson explains the members took these actions because they wanted to save the community. However, hundreds have been evicted, businesses have closed, and a number of homes continue to be demolished. He sees better things for Brougham now than he did 36 years ago. “I remember, in and around that, thinking firstly, ‘it’s insane’,” he says from the home he’s rented from the feds from the time he moved in. Now, he explains, LOL focuses on an area that affects more people than just the small group of people left on the lands: the environment. “There weren’t as many people (back then) that were environmen- tally conscious,” he says. “Stop- ping the airport is secondary. It’s about saving our land.” First, air travel is harmful to the environment, he explains. He also refers to a number of nearby air- ports, such as Hamil- ton International Airport, that are too underused to justify another one. “We’ve got to get high-speed rail going,” he says. Mr. Robertson’s greatest focus is on the Grade A agricultural farm- land, hence the changing of ‘People Or Planes’ to ‘Land Over Landings’ in 2005. Mr. Robertson says regard- less of if an airport is needed, it cannot be in north Pickering. “I don’t like to call it a fight,” he says. “I think of it more of an ac- tion.” Gabrielle Untermann, LOL sec- retary, explains the goal to stop the airport remains. However, she explains there are different piec- es of the pie: the community and houses in Brougham; the future use of land; stopping the airport; and, climate change. “It’s a bigger issue than just stop- ping the airport,” she says. “I think that because of the growing aware- ness of climate change and things we have to do to stop it, that is play- ing into our cause.” Ms. Delaney agrees the lands are perfect for agriculture, but the local historian is very passionate about heritage structures. She notes the airport lands contain a number of homes that are culturally signifi- cant to Pickering, but the federal government only recognizes those of federal significance. For exam- ple, the Brougham Hall was built in 1850 and has not received a desig- nation. “If that doesn’t have local heri- tage significance, I don’t know what does,” she says. In an e-mail, Transport Canada regional communications advisor Tina Morris says TC is committed to protecting and preserving eco- logically sensitive land, and TC has reconfirmed the need to protect 40 per cent of the Pickering lands as “green space. “Transport Canada’s steward- ship of the Green Space portion has the potential to lead by example by embodying the principles of sus- tainable development,” she wrote. But, the decision on the airport is ultimately in the hands of the gov- ernment. LOL is heavily involved in the political process, writing letters and making its presence known by holding rallies and demonstra- tions. Ms. Untermann believes a concerted effort of all levels of government is needed to sort out the issue. Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland is one politician who has openly declared opposition to the airport. Mr. Robertson explains the Liberals had committed to a peer review on transportation needs in Southern Ontario, but now that the Conservatives are in power “it’s back to square one.” For ex- ample, in May, Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon announced the Greater Toronto Airports Authority would complete the Needs Assess- ment Study to make a decision on whether an airport is needed or not, and some criticized the move, saying the GTAA has too great an interest to conduct the review. “That’s just embarrassing,” Mr. Robertson says. “It’s embarrassing to be a Canadian when that hap- pens.” Ms. Morris explains since TC did not have the proper resources to conduct the study itself, it chose to contract it out, and four bids came in. “The bids were then evaluated by a qualified team of experts in Transport Canada according to evaluation criteria, resulting in a contract being awarded to the GTAA,” she says. “The GTAA will present its findings to Transport Canada; Transport Canada will then decide on next steps.” She added TC plans to invite “technical representatives” from the commu- nity and stakeholders to participate in the due diligence review.

Mayor Dave Ryan created The May- or’s Task Force on Accountability and Transparency last June to create guide- lines to govern the ethical conduct of council. The code of conduct has been draft- ed, with 78 sections from receiving gifts to purchasing alcohol. A letter was sent out to “stakeholder groups and knowl- edgeable individuals” to give input at a public meeting held Tuesday. Some responded via e-mail, and one, Glenn Brown (along with two members of the public), came to speak. He found it “striking” that there was no statement of purpose for council or its members. “There are no models of comport- ment, nor great purposes to be served,” he said. “The value of ‘transparency’ is not explained. So I suggest that the code of conduct begin with an evoca- tive statement.” The task force agreed a statement of purpose is warranted. “I think it’d help clarify our role and what one would expect of council,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor and task force member Bonnie Littley. Mr. Brown said Section 43, stating members shouldn’t charge alcohol as an expense, should be covered in the City’s purchasing policy section to make it less accusatory. “If we’re going to be transparent, why would we bury it in another pol- icy?” said task force member and for- mer Whitby-Ajax MP Judi Longfield. They chose to leave it as-is. Rosemary Aiken, president of the Amberlea Tennis Club, wrote in an e-mail the section that states the City shall not hire former council mem- bers for 12 months after leaving of- fice should be extended to 24. After a discussion, the task force decided 12 months was sufficient. “I think 12 months is a good cooling- off time for a councillor,” said member Joanne Burghardt, editor-in-chief of the Metroland Durham Region Media Group. Mayor Ryan was surprised that no one brought up Blackberries. In De- cember, a resident wrote a letter to the City about her concerns with council- lors using Blackberries during council meetings. Resident Janet Frampton, who attended the meeting, noted the public can’t bring their cell phones into council chambers. Mayor Ryan said the sign prohibit- ing it is more to ward off ringing inter- ruptions. The task force agreed their use can be inappropriate, but chose to continue to allow them. Resident Jeff Womald said he felt brushed aside when he had questions regarding the new development at Bay Ridges. Mayor Ryan said unfor- tunately some are unhappy with the development, but he is confident the City dealt with the issue in the highest standards. Some minor changes have to be made to the document, and the final draft will most likely come to council April 21. Mayor Ryan said the public will have opportunities to speak when the draft, which will be available on the City’s website, www.cityofpickering.com, is considered at executive committee and council meetings. They’ll have to sign up as delegates ahead of time.

The strong potential for a medical school exists because there is cur- rently no medical school between Queen’s University in Kingston and University of Toronto, said Dr. Mark Taylor, vice-president of medical and academic affairs at Lakeridge Health. The three institutions will hold future talks about the possibil- ity of establishing the school. Many of Kingston’s hospitals are already beyond capacity for student doctors and interns, so the remain- ing medical students travel to Osha- wa for the practical side of their edu- cation. Dr. Taylor said 60 per cent of the student doctors at Lakeridge are from Queen’s University and anoth- er 25 per cent are from University of Toronto, with the remaining 15 per cent coming from a variety of other schools. “There are synergies between the three organizations that make it pos- sible to co-operate with each other on health science related education and research,” said Ron Bordessa, president of UOIT. “For UOIT, this is a first step that we’re a strong player in health sci- ences. We’re aware there’ll be a lot of sentiment and pressure towards establishing a medical school and UOIT would be vitally involved,” he said. Dr. Taylor said if a medical school is built, it would be several years down the road. D A I L Y S U D O K U newsdurhamregion.com By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Durham judge has lambasted lawyers for what he called a waste of time and money created by last-minute deals to avoid trials. An irate Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson made the com- ments last Wednesday, after a case that had already been assigned to a jury was resolved by way of a plea arrangement. “There’s an enormous amount of time lost in this court because cases that are scheduled do not proceed,” Justice Ferguson said. “In my view, this is completely unsatisfactory.” The judge’s pointed comments came after a surprise plea in the case of Major “Shawn” Acorn, who had been arraigned on charges of assault with a weapon, sexual as- sault with a weapon and sexual assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement, relating to an attack on a woman in Oshawa al- most five years ago. The case, scheduled for two weeks, began at the Whitby court- house Monday when dozens of people responded to jury duty notices, then spent the day in the building while a panel of 12 was se- lected. The jurors slogged through a winter storm for the start of the trial Wednesday morning and sat through the judge’s opening instruc- tions, which typically take about 45 minutes, before being granted a 20- minute break shortly after 11 a.m. That 20-minute break stretched over more than an hour before law- yers came back to tell the judge they’d reached a deal: Mr. Acorn would plead guilty to a single count of assault with a weapon, while the other charges were withdrawn. Justice Ferguson accepted the plea before calling the jury in to tell them their service was concluded. Then he apologized to the jury as well as the taxpayers who foot the bill for a court system he said is being run inefficiently. “In addition to the inconvenience it causes you it means I now have a schedule for the next week and a half that is blank,” Justice Ferguson said. “I could have been hearing someone else’s case.” THE COMFORT I WANT www.chartwellreit.ca 1801 Valley Farm Rd.

Sahar was dressed in a modest denim skirt and blouse, freshly ironed for the occasion. Mrs. Campbell was new to Pickering, and lived in one of the manor houses that had come to dominate the little town over the last two decades. “Ms. Bahmiri, I’ve seen your qualifica- tions, and they look excellent,” said Mrs. Campbell with a pleasant smile. Sahar grinned, taking a sip of her own cof- fee. “Thank you. You can call any of my previ- ous employers for feedback if you need it.” Mrs. Campbell nodded vigorously. Her earrings sparkled and jangled as she did so. She seemed very impressed. “No need for that. I think I’ve made my decision.” “Thank you so much,” Sahar replied grate- fully. “Thank you. Decent babysitters are hard to find. You can come starting Monday. We tell Steven Bible stories, so if you could do that for us. His bedtime-” “Pardon me for interrupting, but is there a Bible I can read from?” asked Sahar. Mrs. Campbell’s eyebrows met in a wor- ried frown. “You are not familiar with any stories?” Sahar shook her head. “I am Muslim.” “Ah,” Mrs. Campbell replied curtly. Her smiled had vanished. “Well, you see,” Mrs. Campbell started, an apologetic look on her face, “we are a Chris- tian family, and we would like our babysitter to emulate Christian ethics-“ “Miranda!” The loud voice made Sahar’s slender hand leap to her throat in shock. A man had en- tered the room, robust and rosy-cheeked, wearing an impressive grey suit. Mrs. Camp- bell turned around, seemingly restraining apparent but unfathomable anger. “Yes, Harold?” she answered coldly. Her eyes took on a menacing look. “Is this the new babysitter?” he asked, seating himself on a couch piled with satin cushions. “Sahar Bahmiri,” Sahar replied with a smile. She held out her hand. Harold shook it enthusiastically. “Pleased to meet you, Ms. Bahmiri. I’m Harold Campbell. I overheard your question; Steven keeps a Bible on his nightstand. That solves any issues, don’t you think, Miranda?” Mr. Campbell spoke cheerily, but as Sahar looked to Mrs. Campbell, she saw venom in her icy, blue eyes. “Harold,” Mrs. Campbell spoke in a cold tone, “Ms. Bahmiri is obviously not right for this job.” “She is a babysitter, and she has the quali- fications. We’re talking about a job. Let’s not confuse career and religion,” stated Mr. Campbell pleasantly. He smiled at Mrs. Campbell, then stood up and left, leaving her fuming. Sahar fully expected to be thrown out of the house. Then Mrs. Campbell gave a defeated sigh, slumping tiredly back into her tasselled pillows. “Be here next Monday at three o’clock.” Sahar took this as a sign to leave. Thanking Mrs. Campbell, who was now massaging her temples, she left the room. Sahar Bahmiri remained the Campbells’ babysitter for three years. Sahar got along splendidly with Steven, and when she left, Mr. Campbell remained her good friend. Her relationship with Mrs. Campbell, however, was strained at best. Sahar pitied Mrs. Camp- bell. Her way of thinking was outdated. What did it matter if a person believed in Jesus or Allah or Buddha? The world was changing. It was drastically different than it had been only two decades ago. This new world was going to present new challenges. Challenges that could only be overcome if people were ready to work together for the future that they would ultimately share. Sahar was ready for the challenge. 2025 was a year ripe for change. Special Recognition, Category 3 (Grades 9 to 12) By Julie Murphy Grade 10, St. Mary Catholic Secondary School I’m living my life in these disastrous mo- ments. Dealing with the reality of poverty. Gangs and violence and killers committing crimes. Teenage epidemics and parental abuse, leading to suicide in the most unbearable cases. Making fun of different human races. When will these negative aspects begin to change? Will it start with the community and lead to the streets of humanity? People dying every day because of careless moves in our society. Reflecting on how we live our life. Reimbursing on how we choose to live it. We only have one life, so live it. To the best of your abilities and ways, Listening to what no one exclaims. You should celebrate each day like it’s your last. Putting traitorous crimes and memories in the past. A new day brings new surprises of things you don’t yet know. It can be anything or everything. From losing a loved one to finding out you’ve been diagnosed. But see that’s not all it would bring. Along with “everything” would be the over- flowing buckets of the tears you’ve cried and the oncoming pain that’s keeping you alive. So you’re asking yourself: ‘Why, oh why, did God place us here, In a world where there is so much terror?’ Yet, God still won’t answer. Now we’re faced with different beliefs, no reliefs. The questions keep coming in and the only thing on my mind is how selfish we’ve been. We created this mad world and the only person we can thank is our- selves. So for now, we’ll have to dwell with the pain that we’ve endured. Maybe by tomorrow we can have people cured. But that’s not the case, my mom told me so … she left this world saying: “I should live my life, slow.” First Place, Category 1 (Grades 2 to 5) By Nakisha Slavin Grade 5 French Immersion, Frenchman’s Bay Public School A wizened, black little old lady, very sweet Had eggs thrown at her because of the colour of her feet. She went to bed one cold stormy night And found herself dreaming about a portal with colours so bright, She opened the door not knowing what to expect, She found herself in a world of great respect. She took one glance and found wheelchair ramps everywhere! There was a building marked ‘Bubble Car Repairs’, She saw bubbles everywhere and loved the fact, That the cultures were mixed With no cracked hearts because of people teasing, No one is hurting and everyone is pleasing. A girl rushed over with her pet elephant. She yelled, “Come on, you have to help Mr. Relaphant.” She was a Chinese woman with long black hair When they got there they saw a black man in a large chair And he said, “Thank you for making this world a diverse community! Everyone is friends, and it’ll stay that way for eternity!” The Chinese work on the bubble cars and robots And the Africans are trying to clone the blind dog Totots. And we certainly cannot forget the day, The Americans sprayed the giant mutant wasps away. I love to walk into the building and see Ms. Too I love to look at the building that reads, ‘We love to help you!’ Everyone is loved and the robbers are in the invisible jail. So little kids won’t be scared and start to fail, Fail their reason to live on this Earth. And when I see a hobo on the street, I wish for rebirth. Now these hobos are married, and wear rings. So we thank you for … “drriinng, drriinng, drriinng...” She awakes to the sound of her alarm clock The day begins, tick tock, tick tock, “Oh, when I finish my work at the end of the day I will go to bed and hope in 2025 my troubles will melt away.” That would be the world in 2025. Here are the winners of the City of Pickering’s In Your Words writing contest for Durham students. The winning authors, who submitted a written work to the statement, “Imagining my diverse community in the year 2025...,” share their works at the Race Relations Forum in the Pickering Council Chambers on March 19 at 7 p.m. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 21, 2008 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 12, 2008 SPORTS ✦ E-mail game scores to Al Rivett, arivett@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com ANNANDALEANNANDALE CHURCH ST. at BAYLY, AJAX 905-683-3210 www.toronto.com/annandale Looking for a new home to golf? $395 from $58 from + GST PST & GRAT. 2008 Memberships Tournament, Golf and Dinner Pkgs. + GST Sports briefs MARCH 12, 2008 [ Basketball ] Balanced scoring leads men’s squad PICKERING — Four scorers in double figures helped the West Hill Men’s Slo-Pitch team edge its op- ponent in Pickering Men’s Basketball League play.

Howard gets off to boffo start at Brier Pickering’s Hart just misses chance at being No. 1 hot shot By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Repeating as Tim Hortons Brier champions is never easy, but the defending champion Ontario rink skipped by Glenn Howard is making a bold state- ment thus far. The Howard rink, which in- cludes vice Richard Hart of Pickering, upped its record to a perfect 5-0 after a 7-2 victory over Manitoba’s Kerry Burtnyk in Draw 7 on Tuesday afternoon. Hart says the team is improving every game and is hitting its stride at the right time. “This was our best game so far and we’re getting better every game,” noted Hart after the win over Manitoba. He added his teammates, including Brent Laing at second, and Craig Savill at lead, were able to recover from an early scare against Burtnyk to win going away. The ice, he says, at Winni- peg’s MTS Centre has been good. Hart gave full credit to skip Glenn Howard, whose competi- tive nature has brought the play of everyone on the team to a higher level. “He’s so competitive that he brings the rest of the team up. He never takes his foot off the gas,” says Hart. In previous action at the Cana- dian men’s curling championship, Howard has chalked up wins over Bob Ursel of British Columbia (8- 4), Brad Gushue of Newfound- land-Labrador (8-1), Jean-Mi- chel Menard of Quebec (8-7) and Northern Ontario’s Eric Harnden (8-4). The Howard rink faced Chad Cowan of Yukon/Northwest Ter- ritories on Tuesday afternoon. In the Tuesday evening session, Howard faced Pat Simmons of Saskatchewan. Both games oc- curred after our press deadline. The Brier winner is represent- ing Canada at the World Men’s Curling Championship at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota from April 5 to 13. Counting from 1959, that team will be seeking a leading 31st title for Canada. In addition, the Brier winning team receives $144,000 in Sport Canada funding over a two-year period and, the four Brier play- off teams will receive money for television cresting value: $40,000 to each of the two finalist teams, with $30,000 to third and $20,000 to fourth. The winning Brier team also earns a berth into the 2008 Con- tinental Cup in Camrose, Alberta, from Dec. 18 to 21, the 2009 Cana- da Cup in Yorkton, Saskatchewan from March 18 to 22 and also be- comes one of 16 teams eligible for the 2009 Tim Hortons Canadian Curling Trials, which will deter- mine Canada’s representatives for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Van- couver. In other Brier news, Hart was one point away from winning the Ford Hot Shot competition on Sat- urday. He took the second prize of $2,000 with 19 points versus the Saskatchewan lead Steve Laycock who, with 20 points, won a two- year lease on a 2008 Ford worth approximately $15,240. ••• The curling season at Annan- dale is winding down. The third draw for the Thursday Night Mixed league finishes on March 13. All the teams are then ranked high to low in each division, and then seeded for the playoff round in four divisions. It will be a double- knockout draw with those losing two games eliminated until in the championship round, where cash prizes will be won. The bonspiel list for this sea- son is down to just two. The next bonspiel at Annandale is the 43rd running of the St. Pat’s Mixed on Saturday, March 15. Then, the year-ending men’s Last Chance Bonspiel runs April 12 to 13.

Ajax collegiate goalie named to conference’s all-academic team Plenderleith one of 12 players from New York’s Colgate University to earn prestigious distinction AJAX — An Ajax player on the Colgate University (Hamilton, NY) women’s hockey team was one of 12 players named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Hockey All-Academic Team. Lisa Plenderleith, a freshman goaltender with the Raiders, was named to the all-academic team. The honour goes to those who earn a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale or have an average GPA of 3.00 over the past three semesters.
