At a news conference in Detroit Tuesday morning, GM chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said rising oil prices and a spiralling U.S. economy are forcing the company to take further measures to adapt to mar- ket conditions. One such step will be the elimination of white-col- lar positions in the U.S. and Canada later this year, through “normal attrition, early retirements, mutual separation programs and other separation tools.” No numbers or other details were announced. GM Canada spokesman Stew Low did not im- mediately have specifics on how the announce- ment will impact salaried employees at GM Canada headquarters in Oshawa, saying he expected further information later in the day Tuesday. Local employees were instructed to arrive at work early on Tuesday morning so they could listen to a broadcast of the 8:30 a.m. news conference. In addition to the job cuts, Mr. Wagoner revealed health-care coverage for American salaried retirees over 65 will be scrapped as of Jan. 1, 2009, there will be no base compensation increases for Canadian and American salaried employees for the remainder of 2008 and 2009 and no annual discretionary cash bonuses for the company’s executive group in 2008.

See Tough, Page 4 PICKERING — Helping out in a commu- nity park allows volunteers to spend time with family, friends and learn how to help create a green, safe and clean community, says Shashi Bhatia. “We need a healthy community where everyone feels at home,” the chairwoman of the Indo-Canadian Cultural Association of Durham Inc. (ICCAD) said. At Monday’s council meeting, City staff and council recognized the ICCAD for adopting Lookout Point Park, located northeast of the Petticoat Creek Conserva- tion Area on Downland Drive. The City of Pickering’s Adopt-A-Park program was revitalized in 2004 as an environmental stewardship initiative to encourage and provide opportunities for organizations, clubs, businesses, schools and industries to help enhance the City’s environment. Adopters help keep green spaces green, clean and safe for children to play in and to help everyone stay active, said the City’s co-ordinator of environmen- tal awareness programs, Chantal Whitaker. “With assistance from the City, these partners commit to providing three clean- ups per year and to reporting problems such as vandalism or graffiti,” she said at the meeting. The program exemplifies the true mean- ing of community, said Mayor Dave Ryan, and it’s refreshing to see groups like the ICCAD take ownership and pride in en- hancing Pickering’s green spaces. “We are grateful for the leadership pro- vided by this group and are pleased to have partners that consistently strive to make Pickering a better place to live, work and play,” he said. Ms. Bhatia said upon accepting the cer- tificate of appreciation from the City the ICCAD is proud to be the first cultural- based community organization that has undertaken Adopt-A-Park. Pickering residents help keep parks green Simulation videos created with a $374,000 grant By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s lights, camera, action in the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy’s (UOIT) simulation lab. The lab, generally reserved for teaching health profession students, doubled up as a Hollywood film location thanks to a $374,000 grant from Health Force Ontario. During the span of two weeks, various medical scenarios will be filmed for new-style teaching simula- tions for UOIT students. “Okay, let’s shoot this, guys; quiet on the set,” said director Luis Ivan Garcia to a group of actors playing doctors and nurses, as well as the film crew surrounding them. “Roll camera, please.” In the scene, which is one of six, seven-to- 15-minute simulations being filmed for the project, a health care team discusses the chal- lenges of providing care to an obese woman. Scene 2B, Take One: Clack! “Take a deep breath, relax, find a rhythm there,” Mr. Garcia said. As the filming began, an actor dressed in a white coat read his character’s lines from a large piece of paper held up by someone off screen. A large microphone was held above him, while cameras and lights also surround- ed the scene. “Two nurses have already damaged their backs trying to move Mrs. Johnson,” said one of the actors playing a nurse. Some of the challenges brought up in the script include moving the obese woman to the washroom, beds breaking, and her husband sneaking in junk food. After going through the scene a couple more times, they took a break. “Cut, that was good,” Mr. Garcia said. “All right, that’s a wrap for half an hour.” Mr. Garcia, who operates out of Hollywood, is trying to bring more of a movie feel to the new set of teaching simulations. “Usually simulations are very non-emotion- al,” Mr. Garcia said. The old simulations feature two people standing and talking against the wall, said Anthony Ignacio, the project’s director of pho- tography. “They were effective but they needed a revamp,” Mr. Ignacio said. “I guess the ele- ment that was missing was the intimacy with the characters.” He hopes the finished project will be effec- tive and able to help people who provide health care. “What we’re trying to decide is if you give them two different types of simulations, which would they prefer,” said Dr. Jay Shiro Tashiro, a professor in UOIT’s Faculty of Health Sciences in charge of the video simulation project. Dr. Tashiro also worked with Mr. Garcia on a documentary about his dying father, ‘The End of His Days’. Mr. Garcia has filmed music videos and short films as well, including ‘Tortilla’, which is playing at the Arizona and Washington film festivals. The simulation topics for the UOIT video are a motor vehicle accident, health promotion, frail elderly, mental health, stroke manage- ment and epidemiology. The obese woman issue is among them, as is a scene about a boy putting on the freshman 15 pounds. Dr. Tashiro and his team spent six months preparing for the simulations, talking to experts and assembling the competencies health professors would have, then choosing simulations, filming crew and actors. After it’s shot, they’ll spend a month editing, three months on software designs the simulations will be placed in, and six months studying the effectiveness of them on students, Dr. Tashiro said. The new set of simulations will be used at UOIT by spring 2009 at the latest.

The Ontario Public Ser- vice Employees Union took the CE LHIN to an Ontario Superior Court of Justice Di- visional Court at Osgoode Hall in Toronto on Friday. OPSEU believes the court should order the CE LHIN to revoke its decision and properly consult the public before approving the Rouge Valley Hospital System’s plan to move the beds from Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital to Centenary Hos- pital in Scarborough to help relieve its massive debt. OPSEU representative, Elizabeth McIntyre, argued private talks between the Rouge Valley Health System and the CE LHIN took place in secret only to push the hospital’s agenda through as soon as possible. The hospital’s plan was made public on March 25, and was passed by the CE LHIN (which has listed men- tal health services as a top priority) three days later. Al- though the decision was dis- cussed at the LHIN’s meet- ing just before approving it, Ms. McIntyre argued little time was spent on it, and the public could not speak up. And, although the CE LHIN ordered a 30-day consulta- tion period with the public, OPSEU argued there’s a dif- ference between consulting the public before making a decision and discussing the plans with the public after the decision was made to simply educate them. “It’s a fundamental pur- pose of the LHIN...to engage the community,” she said. In the documents present- ed by OPSEU, a letter from Bill Parish, co-chair of the Friends of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital, noted the LHIN document, ‘A Framework for Community Engagement and Local Health Planning’, states “A consumer-focused health care system must en- gage the end user in the plan- ning process as they are the most knowledgeable about their needs, experience and satisfaction with health care services.” In an affidavit, RVHS CEO Rik Ganderton said it would have been counterproduc- tive to consult the public be- fore the end of March since elements of the plan were constantly changing. Also, he didn’t want to provide formal notice to unions regarding eliminating positions prior to changes being finalized. The RVHS (also in court as an interested party) argued the decision the LHIN made was based on funding. While it approved the transfer of 20 mental health beds, it was part of a bigger plan each hospital must agree to in order to receive funding from the LHIN. RVHS had to show its plans to get a balanced budget. Also, RVHS would have made its decision to move the beds anyway, RVHS lawyer William Carter said, adding the board does not have to consult the LHIN for moving services around within one hospital system. “(That) is an indoor man- agement decision,” he said. The CE LHIN’s lawyer Kim Twohig said the decision to move the beds was one of many difficult ones RVHS had to make in order to start eliminating its debt. Plus, she said, the LHIN already did consult the public and didn’t change its mind. “In this case if the so- called decision of the LHIN is set aside in order to have public consultation, nothing will change, nothing will be gained because public con- sultation already occurred,” she said. Since the Province of On- tario, which used to be re- sponsible for funding allo- cation, never consulted the public when making funding decisions, why should the LHIN? Mr. Carter argued. He said the meetings that took place between RVHS and the CE LHIN before presenting the decision to the public was with the finance committee. “In my submission this was a funding decision, not a planning decision,” he said. Ms. McIntyre fired back. “You can always character- ize any decision as a funding decision,” Ms. McIntyre said.

Highlights Admission He said cuts to benefits and salaried jobs should save $1.5 billion in 2009 -- just one of several measures aimed at saving the company $15 bil- lion by the end of 2009. At the end of the first quar- ter of 2008, GM had a liquidity of $23.9 billion, with access to an additional $7 billion in credit. A media release said the company has ample liquidity to meet its 2008 funding needs but is taking these additional steps to guard against a pro- longed U.S. economic down- turn. However, rumours continue to mount, about the possibility of the company going bank- rupt. Wall Street has taken notice with GM stock price tumbling from a high of over $42 per share to under $10 per share -- the lowest value since 1954 -- at close of trade Monday. “These are tough but nec- essary actions,” Mr. Wagoner said. “And these, along with current cash and available credit lines will provide us with ample liquidity through 2009, even under conservative U.S. industry sales assumptions of about 14 million light vehicles in both 2008 and 2009 and continuing high oil prices.” Tuesday’s announcement also outlined further adjust- ments to truck capacity and related component, stamp- ing and powertrain capacity -- truck capacity is expected to be cut by 300,000 units by the end of 2009, half of which is from acceleration of previ- ously announced actions, and the other half of which will stem from additional steps. As well, the company will consolidate sales and market- ing budgets, reduce its capital spending plan by $1.5 billion and suspend future dividends on common stock effective immediately. “Our goal is not just to change GM’s bottom line from red to black, which we’re all working hard to do as soon as possible,” Mr. Wagoner said. “Our goal is to change the company for the long haul. To structure GM for sustained profitability and growth, to set us up to be competitive for years to come.” Chris Buckley, president of Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) Union Local 222 in Oshawa, said he is deeply concerned by the news out of Detroit and wonders whether the CEO’s comment that GM will con- sider “advancing the timing” of some previously announced cost-cutting moves, could lead to Oshawa’s truck plant being closed ahead of the late 2009 time line. “I’m extremely concerned that, based on what we’ve heard, Oshawa’s truck plant could close sooner,” he said. “If that happened, people wouldn’t be prepared. It could have a devastating impact on the community.” Mr. Buckley was also alarmed by the plan to slash truck production by 300,000 units, guessing that the cuts would affect all truck facilities, including Oshawa. He spoke with GM officials early Tuesday morning, but didn’t have any concrete infor- mation on how the announce- ment would impact Oshawa -- he was hoping for details later in the day. “This is going to be noth- ing but bad news for GM em- ployees, both hourly and sala- ried,” Mr. Buckley said. “I’m very nervous about what could happen in Oshawa.” ‘Tough but necessary actions’ says GM of latest cost-cutting Tough, from page 1 durhamregion.comP PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 16, 2008 */463"/$&'*/"/$*"- '*345%63)".

The playground equipment, in the park on Horne Avenue, was destroyed in an early morning fire and Town officials say it probably won’t be replaced until the fall. The fire began around 4 a.m. Monday and the apparatus, made of plastic and metal, couldn’t be saved. Destiny Richards, 12, was upset at losing the structure. “It must have been teenagers because teenagers get bored very easily,” Destiny said. “We heard stuff last (Sunday) night, motorcycles and things. There was a party going on. It was very loud,” Destiny said. “I woke up at three o’clock because I had a nightmare. I heard the fire trucks.” When asked what she would say to someone who would burn down playground equipment, Destiny said, “How could they do that, burn that down. Try to find something else to do. Just because they were bored, they don’t have to do this.” The structure, which cost between $60,000 and $80,000, was removed by Town staff Monday afternoon. “Obviously we’re very saddened somebody thought it was a good idea to burn down playground equipment,” Mayor Steve Parish said. The police are investigating the matter and “we call on any- one in the neighbourhood” with information to call police or Crime Stoppers, Mayor Parish said. “It’s very important acts of vandalism like this are acted upon,” Mayor Parish said. “It’s extremely concerning children have lost their playground equipment for the balance of the summer and into the fall.” It’s the “busy season” for makers of playground equipment, so “it will take time to replace this,” he said. “It’s difficult to have done in the near term.” The equipment was covered by insurance, but the mayor said the deductible is $10,000 and that will be paid with tax dollars. The damaged equipment needed to be removed for safety reasons, said Jeff Stewart, the manager of parks. Swings, a set of monkey bars and the junior playground equipment weren’t damaged and will be left in place, Mr. Stewart said. “Fortunately, it was only one area,” he said, adding the equipment was put in place about 10 years ago. “It’s a fairly new structure.” It’s been about two to three years since the last piece of play- ground equipment was burned, Mr. Stewart said. “We were hoping it was a trend that would stay in place.” Durham Regional Police report witnesses saw a white male on a bicycle cycling away from the park on Church Street. He was approximately 16 years of age and was riding a 20- inch BMX bicycle. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts, and police investigators would like to speak with him. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the 19 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579- 1520, ext. 2511. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Re- gional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Charles Catto calls the cell tower “a shining beacon for the faith and love,” and hoped that the tower would guide us to find our way to the welcoming doors of PVUC. Give me a break! It’s not a cross, it’s a cell tower! Churches aren’t paid $500 a month by major corporations to put shining beacons on their property. I think it is ironic that he thinks a 100-foot tower will help guide us to a church that is not even 100 feet from our homes. If you want to guide us to your welcom- ing doors, then come and talk to us. The tower won’t do it. We are the ones who watch the back of the church when Rev. Catto is not there and call the police when there is any sus- picious behaviour, and this is how we are repaid. I once saw a neighbour run to the back of the church to put out a small fire that some kids set. Rev. Catto’s letter was disrespectful and condescending to Mr. Fong and the hundreds of other neighbours who live here who were not consulted about the tower’s construction. We were notified when the high school wanted to put in more portables, which were temporary. Why were we not asked about this? Rev. David Jones said the money from the tower is “a small percentage of the church’s income.” It is obvious that the church is not in financial hardship and does not need this tower and the neigh- bours certainly don’t want it. Is the eternal resentment of the neigh- bourhood worth $500 a month? Pat Gibson Ajax Hospital board needs to build commitment, trust To the editor: Re: ‘Familiar face leads hospital board’, News Advertiser, July 6. Please do not give Janet Ecker too much credit. Ms. Ecker led the decision to transfer Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering obstetrics and pediatrics to Rouge Valley Centenary in 2006; the community strongly voiced its concerns. Obstetrics and pediatrics have remained at RVAP, but for how long? Ms. Ecker has been making deci- sions as a board member for the last two years; the board has accumulated a $78 million deficit. Ms. Ecker discusses the peer review report that was completed in December, 2007. Why have they waited to start fol- lowing recommendations? The report strongly discourages Rouge Valley Health System having any “centres of excel- lence”, until “RVHS stabilize their current situation before entertaining anything new.” Yes, Ms. Ecker, the community slammed the quick decision to transfer 29 mental health beds out of RVAP, out of Durham Region. We 905 GTA are already underfunded by (last report) $227 per person for health and social services, compared to Scarborough and Toronto. Why would we continue to lose services to Scarborough? Ms. Ecker speaks of community engagement, accurate sharing of infor- mation, and to reach out to more com- munity groups. The same speech the board made to many in 2006. You and the board promised changes; it was not done. In fact, it only got worse. Please remember, honesty builds trust, trust builds commitment and commit- ment builds strong communities. Are you and the board ready to be hon- est? That would be the first step. Wendy Holliday Ajax What is ‘domestic’ car? To the editor: I can appreciate the nationalistic zeal with which we are exhorted to buy Cana- dian and the even more immediate appeal from the CAW to purchase domestic vehi- cles in light of the announced local plant closings. What I do not understand, how- ever, is what buying domestic means in the automobile market. Does it mean anything sold by GM, Ford or Chrysler counts as domestic? If so, does that mean it is OK to purchase a Chevrolet Aveo, built on the other side of the Pacific, or a Saturn Astra, built on the other side of the Atlantic? What about vehicles that use varying amounts of foreign parts, such as Chrysler vehicles that have Mitsubishi components or Ford vehicles that use Mazda or Volvo parts, or Pontiac that uses Toyota? To blur the lines even further one can look at the Honda, Cami and Toyota assembly plants in Ontario. Can somebody help me to understand the definitions because I will be in the mar- ket for a new small car next year.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ July 16, 2008A/P Too much sun over too much time can be deadly I t’ s not surprising given the brevity of our summers and the length of our winters that people want to get as much sun as they can. A recent survey conducted by the Cana- dian Cancer Society found that spending too much time under the sun’s rays can be harmful to our health. The survey found young people -- between 16 and 24 -- are a little too eager to tan and not careful enough about the risks of exposure. It showed 50 per cent of young men and 32 per cent of young women spend at least two hours a day in the sun on a typical clear summer’s day. An American survey released at the same time showed a 50 per cent increase in melanoma, skin cancer, among young women since 1980. That’s a troubling sta- tistic. It’s clear some exposure to the sun promotes health by creating Vitamin D. But too much sun is the leading cause of melanoma. The key is to find the right balance. There are a number of ways to prevent over-exposure: People are advised to stay out of the direct sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the ultra-violet (UV) rays are at their strongest. Direct, unprotected expo- sure to the sun at mid-day is most harm- ful. When the sun is at its peak, people are advised to cover up with loose-fitting, lightweight clothing, to wear a wide- brimmed hat and to don sunglasses. It’s also important to wear a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 or higher and to apply a sunscreen with a 30 SPF or higher if working outdoors or spending pro- longed periods outside on a sunny day. And, lastly, people are urged to avoid indoor tanning since tanning lamps release UV rays that can cause sunburn and damage the skin. What’s vital is that individuals take care to be aware of the power of the sun. A little bit will do ya, too much of a good thing can lead to a lifetime sentence of skin cancer.

Yes: 11% No: 89% Votes: 145 By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Type “teach English in Asia” into Google and the results yield almost 650,000 hits from recruiting companies to blogs about the experience. After graduation from university, Oshawa resident Alison Olson was looking for an adventure, so she decided to apply with one of those recruiting companies to teach Eng- lish overseas. Ms. Olson, after graduating from O’Neill Collegiate, went to Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Que., and received a bache- lor’s degree in history, with minors in soci- ology and French. “I chose to come to Korea because it has always been a goal of mine to live in anoth- er country -- particularly an Asian coun- try,” Ms. Olson said in an e-mail from Seoul. “Teaching as well has always interested me as my father and older sister are both teach- ers.” It’s an after-graduation option more degree-holders are exploring, said Ben Glickman, co-founder of Footprints Recruit- ing. Based in British Columbia, Footprints places English speakers in teaching posi- tions in Asia. Mr. Glickman said Footprints expects to send about 1,000 teachers this year, most- ly new graduates from Canada and the U.S. That’s an increase from the 750 teachers it recruited in 2007. The increases have been steady since the company opened in 2001, Mr. Glickman said. “There has been, increasingly, an insa- tiable demand to teach overseas,” he said. “It’s a more accepted thing to do. We live in an increasingly global society and there is a better understanding of Asian culture in North America.” Mr. Glickman started Footprints after his foray into teaching English in China. He said he sends about 80 per cent of his recruits to South Korea. Other popular work countries are mainland China and Taiwan. Ms. Olson said her experience teaching kindergarten-aged students has been “truly wonderful” so far. “I am often approached on the subway or on the street by children or young peo- ple who wish to practise their English,” she said. “My students are absolutely wonder- ful and they keep me laughing every day, as well as in awe of their ability to pick up this new language at such a young age.” It has also offered her the opportunity to travel during breaks from teaching. She has already been to North Korea and Tai- wan and she said she intends to travel more when her contract is over. The process for becoming a teacher with Mr. Glickman’s company starts when grad- uates fill out an application online. If the application is what the company is look- ing for, the process continues with a phone interview. Mr. Glickman said Footprints looks for candidates who want to teach overseas for the right reasons, like a genu- ine interest in teaching and learning about a new culture, not just making money. Besides a genuine interest, the only requirements for Footprints are being a native English speaker, holding a valid pass- port and having a degree in any subject, Mr. Glickman said. The contracts usually last for one year and students are responsible for getting their own visa. It’s difficult to know just how many Cana- dians sign contracts to teach their native tongue overseas each year. Statistics Cana- da does not keep data on how many Cana- dians get international visas each year. A sign that the popularity is high amongst Canadians is a travel guide published by the Government of Canada called “Teaching in Korea.” The guide warns “the key to happy and fruitful employment as a language instruc- tor in Korea is to be employed by a repu- table school and to obtain a fair and clear contract.” Mr. Glickman said 90 per cent of the teachers he places are “overwhelmingly” satisfied with their experience. He said his company is adding training components to their program to better prepare their recruits, including workshops and mentor- ship programs. Ultimately the trip has been a learning experience for Ms. Olson that she would recommend to other new graduates. “I would absolutely recommend teach- ing in Korea to other graduates,” she said. “I would encourage them to do research about the company they will work for, how- ever, because there are always stories of contracts not being respected and what not. Teaching ESL is a great way to spend a year after university if maybe you are not sure what you want to do or just want an adven- ture.” TEACHING WHILE LEARNING NEW GRADS TRY THEIR HAND AT ASIAN CULTURE Submitted photo Alison Olson is teaching English in South Korea. She has been there for more than eight months. Her teaching contract is for a year. TeachingFacts Money talks What can a new grad expect to make and what are the costs of being an English teacher in South Korea? Costs: -- Visa fees, which includes get- ting a criminal record check and an original copy of the teacher’s degree. Mr. Glickman said the cost for a South Korean visa is usually about $150. Other expenses: -- medical insurance -- plane ticket. Mr. Glickman said some schools pay for the teacher’s flight up front and some reimburse them when they get to South Korea and begin their contract. Cash: -- Salary is usually about $2,100 American per month. Severance pay rules in South Korea mean teachers usually work for 12 months but get paid for 13, Mr. Glickman said. -- The plane ticket is usually paid for by the company but be pre- pared to front the cash and be reimbursed later, Mr. Glickman said. -- Rent, which 90 per cent of schools he works with cover, Mr. Glickman said. But according to the Government of Canada’s guide to teaching in Korea, “few contracts provide for housing in Seoul. This can be a serious problem, as housing in Seoul is among the most expensive in the world.” Some warnings about teaching overseas Medical Insurance -- In principle, foreign instructors are entitled to Korean medical insurance through their employer. You should clarify this when you accept an offer of employment. It is important that you know and understand the nature and scope of coverage. While medical care in Korea is generally good and not as expensive as in Canada, it can still be quite costly. Plane Tickets -- Some institutes will provide you with a ticket home on completion of your contract and will also promise to reimburse your costs for the trip to Korea. You should be aware that sometimes this commitment is not honoured. Adapting -- When first arriving in a country, one is usually excited and eager for new experiences. After a while, the newness wears off and homesickness begins. Do not be too hard on yourself; it happens to everyone. Typical concerns might be: “I will never understand this place.” “I want some real food . . . some real friends . . . a real apartment.” “Why do Koreans do this or that?” -- From http://www.voyage.gc.ca/ main/pubs/korea-en.asp THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 16, 2008 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comP PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, July 16, 2008 AJ Groen / News Advertiser photo CUTTING WOOD TO MAKE CANDLES PICKERING — Martin Norris cuts wood that will be used for a fire that melts wax for the Pioneer Day Camp at the Pickering Village Museum. One of the activities of the day camp is candle making. PICKERING — Some cyclists who got a warm welcome in Pickering and stopped off for a barbecue didn’t want to leave, says a Pickering councillor. Pickering was one of 40 mu- nicipalities that took part in the first Great Waterfront Trail Adventure. The ride began in Niagara-On-The-Lake and will last for eight days until its end- ing point at the Quebec bor- der. Chairwoman of the Water- front Committee, Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, helped welcome the cyclists. “It was actually amazing,” Coun. O’Connell said in an in- terview. “It was a lot of hard work I put in with some of our staff.” Coun. O’Connell took part in some of the Great Waterfront Trail Ride recently when she rode her bike from the start of the ride at Niagara-On-The- Lake to Hamilton. An unexpe- rienced cyclist, she didn’t ride any longer, but saw just how important it is to have well- marked trails. “I think our markings are pretty good,” she said. “There’s always room for improvement; we can put more up.” But something that still needs improvement on Pick- ering’s trails is improving the connection of the trails, she said, but she was happy to get a compliment from an avid Ajax cyclist. “Even (Ajax) Mayor (Steve) Parish said Pickering set the bar high,” she said.

Durham police issued the scam alert after an 82-year-old man reported paying thousands following a high-pressure sales pitch by a paving contractor. The contractor, who ap- proached the senior about the state of his driveway, charged $14,000 for the job and even drove the man to the bank to get the money, Mr. Selby said. The cost of the job done at the man’s home should have been around $2,000, Mr. Selby said. Each year police receive calls from citizens who feel they’ve been overcharged for work or who have agreed to give down payments for work that’s never done, he said. “I wouldn’t characterize this as a huge problem,” Mr. Selby said. “But there are isolated incidents. “We’ve seen examples of contractors overcharging or tak- ing a down payment and disappearing.” Durham cops offer a number of hints for people consider- ing having home improvement work done: • First, you should be wary of “cold call” pitches by con- tractors you haven’t contacted yourself. When you do seek to have work done, get a number of quotes and get references. • No matter what deal is offered, take your time about mak- ing a decision. • Protect yourself by insisting on a detailed contract for the job and discuss terms of payment prior to work starting. Police advise consulting the following websites for infor- mation about good business practices: • The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services has excellent information about hiring contractors as well as details about the Ontario Consumer Protection Act at: <http://www.gov.on.ca/mgs/en/ConsProt/STEL02_173856. html> • Phone Busters at <http://www.phonebusters.com/eng- lish/index.html>, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Call Centre is a valuable source of information regarding how to identify and report fraudulent activity. • The Canadian Council of Better Business Bureaus at <http://www.ccbbb.ca/cadvice_homes.cfm%20> also has detailed consumer advice on dealing with home repairs and improvements. Beware of summer scams, Durham police warn AJAX — Getting teenagers to dish-up dinner is on the menu at The Youth Centre.

MY CHILD’S PROJECT IS DUE! Ways to work with your kids 4 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O TAK E CONTROL Be firm, fair and c onsistent 13 BY DANIELLE HARDER There are many good reasons to try to eat together as a family once a day. It’s a chance to slow down, connect and share everyone’s day. Increasingly, research is also showing family meals are better for children’s physical, emotional and mental health. According to a study published last month, families who eat together may have healthier kids in the long term. The fi ndings, which appear in the Jour- nal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest children who connect with their parents at mealtimes are more likely to have a healthier diet as young adults. The study followed 1,700 teenagers for fi ve years and found those who ate the most meals with their families tended to eat bet- ter as they got older, including eating more fruits and vegetables. This new research bolsters previous studies that found children who share a meal with family several times a week are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs or become sexually active. They also tend to do better academically and have better mental health. Unfortunately, while science suggests families make more attempts to eat togeth- er, economic forces are working against them. According to Statistics Canada, workers spend an average of 45 minutes less per day with family members in 2005 than they did 20 years earlier. The length of the workday has also ex- panded, cutting into what was traditionally the family dinnertime. On average, Cana- dians now work about 30 minutes longer each day than they did a generation ago. Exacerbating the meal crunch is simply the fast-paced and full lives of many fami- lies today. Children are often involved in more extra-curricular activities and have more homework to get through each night, than their parents did as kids. So, what to do? Start by doing some ‘investment’ cook- ing: double a meal one night and freeze half for later or set aside one afternoon on the weekend to cook several meals that can be tucked away in the freezer for busy nights. Next, save yourself time by purchasing pre-cut vegetables. Yes, they cost more but you’re more likely to use them and less likely to be pitching out brown broccoli next week. Even onions – the most dreaded of kitchen chores – are available pre- chopped and frozen. A simple meal, such as bean burritos, can be whipped up in under half an hour. The family meal s till matters MAKE IT A TRADITION Sitting down each day for a family meal, whether it be breakfast or dinner, still holds a lot of value and importance for you and your children. Leadership in education What does it mean to be a leader? In today’s world we recognize that a real leader is a person of action and compas- sion, vision and insight, initiative and responsibility. At Trinity College School, the com- munity recently undertook a long-term planning exercise to understand how they can best prepare students to be leaders – leaders in their local and global communities, leaders within the school and, most importantly, leaders within their own lives. As a result of this community-wide planning initiative, Trinity College School has adopted a new mission statement: developing habits of the heart and mind for a life of purpose and service.

The postings are usually released on Fridays based on samples taken in the early part of the week. A refrigeration problem, however, rendered the samples unreliable and officials had to resample Durham’s 15 beaches on Friday. Test results from a Ministry of Health laboratory in Peterborough show seven beaches are unsafe for swimming due to elevated bacteria levels.

Research shows kids can lose two and a half months of math knowledge over the summer, reverting back to where they were in mid-April by the time September hits, said Tom Hawks, director of Oxford Learning’s Ajax/ Pickering location. By keep- ing the brain active during the break, it keeps learning momentum moving. “(Math is) kind of a grow- ing skill and if in the summer you don’t use it, you lose it,” Mr. Hawks said. “You’re brain isn’t a muscle, but it responds the same way muscles do.” In the summer, kids can get relaxed, so when they get back to school, September is spent doing review and get- ting students back into the learning grove. “We’ve done nothing therefore from April to Sep- tember,” Mr. Hawks said. “We’re starting Oct. 1 maybe where we were in June.” By keeping their skills sharp over summer, students can maintain what they had be- fore and move ahead in class, especially if they were lagging the previous school year. At Oxford, instructors focus on reading, writing, and arithmetic over the sum- mer through activities such as a read-a-thon, in which kids choose books at their level and enjoyment and set a goal. Rewards and events occur for it along the way. “And a parent could do that as well, set up that kind of a thing,” Mr. Hawks said. He’s found it helpful when parents do things with their kids, such as reading a chap- ter to them, then letting them read a chapter to their par- ent. “It’s modeling for the kids... kids want to be like their par- ents until they’re teenagers,” Mr. Hawks said. With writing, he’s given kids a summer journal to fill out once a week about a couple of fun things they did, which gets them think- ing, organizing, and provides structure. “I’ve done it myself with my children,” Mr. Hawks said. There’s numerous things they can do for math in their regular day. They could mea- sure for cooking, help read a map, calculate travel dis- tances, the square footage of the dock at the cottage, or the volume of a trailer. “That’s the key to learn- ing in the summer, to make it interesting and fun,” Mr. Hawks said. And if they want help, there’s Oxford, Mr. Hawks said. Visit oxfordlearning. com for more tips.

A cast of 37 and an orchestra of 10 bring to life the story of a small town in pre-First World War Iowa, that is charmed by and, in turn, charms a con man. Yes, Profes- sor Harold Hill has come to town, selling the idea of a town band for young people but intending to disappear with their money. Throw in lots of well-known songs and some choreography and it’s an entertaining event, said musical director Carol Salamone. “It’s a great group of people,” she said, adding the cast and crew come from all over Durham, in- cluding Uxbridge, Port Perry, Whitby and Pickering. Ages vary, too. One of the younger cast members is 11- year-old Michael Williamson, who plays Winthrop Paroo, the younger brother of Marian Paroo, music teacher and librarian who catches Prof. Hill’s eye. Michael may only be 11 but he’s a veteran of the stage, having been in 13 plays to date. This past theatre season alone he appeared in the Borelians’ production of Alice in Wonderland, OnStage Uxbridge’s Seussical and Oshawa Little The- atre youth group’s Just So. He’ll be acting alongside his dad, Andy Williamson, mom Carey Nicholson, and older sister, Brenna Williamson, in The Music Man. The family lives in Port Perry. When asked why he likes being involved in plays, Michael said “I like all the people you get to meet. Basically, you learn a lot of stuff. You learn singing, dancing and acting.” He’s also learned time man- agement, making sure he gets as much work done at school as he can and finishing any homework right when he gets home. Mallory McGrath, another Port Perry resident, plays Marian. This is McGrath’s fourth show with Ca- denza -- she played Maria in The Sound of Music last summer. She’s just graduated from Mc- Gill’s music program and enjoys spending part of her summers on stage. As she said, after eight months studying and singing opera, it’s a nice break to do com- munity theatre. “I take a break from the hard core of opera and relax with musi- cal theatre for a few weeks,” she said. Todd Appleton, a Whitby den- tist, plays Prof. Hill. He’s worked with local theatre groups for sev- eral years and has won two THEA awards for his roles in musicals. “I love doing musicals,” he said. “I enjoy singing. And they’re just fun. I enjoy doing community the- atre because it’s so different from my career.” Other actors include Barbara Taylor-Bone and Pam Goreski, of Scugog Choral Society, Rita Gould, of Uxbridge, Trish Blackburn, of Whitby, Joe Bezubiak and Mary Delaney, both from Pickering. The director is Uxbridge resi- dent Ruth Smith, who directed OnStage Uxbridge’s THEA-win- ning production of Steel Magno- lias last fall. The choreographer is Jen Hamilton. Salamone said Hamilton has been able to teach non-danc- ing people how to dance for the show. Costumes have been created by Carey Nicholson and her mom, Sheila Nicholson, who both won a THEA for costumes in Alice in Wonderland. As to the band, jackets have been borrowed from Backwoods Players in Pickering. And band in- struments have come from a vari- ety of sources, including Uxbridge Secondary School and Salamone’s friends. Salamone said Cadenza, which has produced Little Shop of Hor- rors and Fiddler on the Roof in past years, has been doing well since it started bringing summer musical theatre to north Durham. “We were turning people award from The Sound of Music last year,” she said. “It’s been success- ful so far. I’m quite happy with it.” The show continues through July 19 at Town Hall 1873, Queen and Simcoe streets. Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at Henshall’s Clothing, 241 Queen St, 905-985-1965.

Rock ignite in OT to down pesky Nitro Senior ‘B’ lacrosse series heads to deciding game in Norwood tonight By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Facing the pros- pect of an early senior ‘B’ lacrosse playoff ouster on Sunday, the Ajax-Pickering Rock found a way to hang around a little longer... but just barely. Facing elimination in Game 2 of the best-of-three quarter-final series against the Norwood Nitro, the Rock salvaged a gritty 15-13 overtime victory in a roller-coast- er affair. Most importantly, the win al- lowed the Rock to set up a win- ner-take-all Game 3 in Norwood tonight (Wednesday). Coming off such an emotional high on Sunday, Rock coach Jim Veltman says he and his charges are fired up for the series-decid- ing Game 3. “If you had asked me before the series if we would take a Game 3 in the series, I would have said ‘yeah’. We wanted a chance to win and that’s what we’ve got. (Norwood’s) a tough barn to play in, so we have to dig deeper and find a way,” said Veltman. With the Rock trailing 13-12 and just about to enter the final two minutes of their season, An- drew Chapman brought them back from the brink after skipping a shot between the legs of Nor- wood goaltender Angus Dineley with 2:03 remaining to knot the score at 13-13. The Rock took care of busi- ness in the 10-minute overtime frame, getting goals from Michael Rollings and Jaime Lumsden to finally resign the never-say-die Nitro to a do-or-die Game 3. Veltman, taking the helm for Game 2 after a suspension to coach Paul St. John, said the Rock stuck to the game plan and it paid divi- dends, especially in the overtime period. “Our guys had a game plan of running and running some more and it paid off,” said Veltman, who’s turned to coaching after an illustrious career that spanned the National Lacrosse League, Major Series lacrosse as well as several seasons as the captain of the Ajax-Pickering Rock. “We had a transition goal to win it and our transition game has been our bread and butter. Lucky for us, we were able to win it.” The fact is, Sunday’s game needn’t have been so close. A four-goal Rock lead in the first period was whittled down by the Nitro to a two-goal advantage after the second frame. In the third, the Rock gave it all back and were in danger of letting a must-win Game 2 slip through their fingers when Chapman’s goal provided new life. The culprit? Untimely Rock penalties that unleashed a po- tent Norwood power play. The biggest momentum-shifter was a five-minute penalty called on the Rock that allowed the Nitro to cash in for two consecutive power-play goals that turned a 10-8 Rock lead into a 10-10 tie approaching the midway point of the third period. Veltman said the Rock sim- ply can’t afford to take penal- ties against Norwood, which has been converting man-advantage opportunities at a high rate so far in the series. “On Friday night (a 13-5 loss in Norwood), they scored six power- play goals. They’ve got such a potent power play that we can’t afford to take penalties,” said Veltman. On the good side, the Rock racked up an impressive 15 goals in the contest, the most they’ve scored in a game this year, chas- ing starting goaltender and arch- nemesis Cole Murray after the seventh Ajax-Pickering marker early in the second period. Felicien looks to the future World champion hurdler shuts down bid for Beijing By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — With no time for tears or pangs of depression, Pickering’s Perdita Felicien is now all about what’s to come and not about opportunity lost. The 27-year-old two-time world champion hurdler announced in a conference call with journalists on Tuesday that she’s abandoning her bid to compete at the Beijing Olym- pics next month. “My decision is not to take part in the Sum- mer Olympic Games. I’m going to take the advice of my medi- cal team and use the rest of the summer to focus on fitness and health,” she said, adding she made the decision late last week after consulting with her doctors, her long-time coach Gary Winck- ler and her family. “The risk isn’t to my foot, but to avoid risk to other parts of my body... It’s a hard decision, but I feel good about it and confident about it. I worked hard to have a different outcome, but I have to respect what the doctors say.” Sounding upbeat, confident and feisty at times despite the sombre news, Felicien said she ran out of time to train seriously for Beijing after a stress fracture to her left foot suffered during a training session back in February proved too much to overcome. Granted a medical exemption from running at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Windsor ear- lier this month, Felicien had until Tuesday to run the Olympic ‘B’ standard of 13.11 seconds in order to be placed on the Canadian Olympic team. “I gave myself every opportu- nity... and I ran out of time. It’s OK with me because I have so much left to do. I have to endure this and deal with this. “Honestly, now that I’ve made a decision, it’s not the decision I want, but I feel a bit lighter. I’m going to set my sights on some- thing more long term.” ✦ See Felicien, Page 23 Beijing 2008 gtaathletes.com Hbc offers you 5000+ potential careers, a culture dedicated to people and unlimited possibilities for growth in one of the finest and largest networks of stores in Canada.

It’s not how I view it. I have to focus on the fu- ture and on (the 2010 Games in) London. The Olympics is the biggest stage, but it’s not the only stage. Of course, I’m disappointed, but it will allow me to have so many races ahead of me.” Felicien said she won’t allow herself the op- portunity for self-pity, noting her close friends and family are willing to push her to keep her motivated, training and moving ahead. And, she said many of her hurdles competitors have a singular focus, too. “I have a career to manage so I can’t sit and la- ment. The women competing in Beijing, they’re not wasting their time thinking about me, and I’m not wasting my time thinking about them. It’s in my best interest to focus on being sharp to race them next time I see them,” said Felicien. Her focus is now to get completely healthy, begin training anew in the hopes of competing at the 2009 IAAF World Track and Field Cham- pionships in Berlin, Germany. “I’ve done work emotionally and psycho- logically and my resources are not going into depression. But, I’m putting my body into being as sharp as I can be for Germany.” Felicien will now focus on world championships in Berlin in 09 ✦ Felicien from page 17 News Advertiser file photo Pickering Olympian Perdita Felicien, photographed in Ottawa earlier this year, has abandoned her bid to compete in Beijing next month, due to a foot injury. She announced her decision on Tuesday morning. *0% fi nancing is available as a fi xed rate loan for 12 months, the loan is renewable at going bank rate at the end of 12 months.
