DURHAM — A threat from the provin-
cial government isn’t making public teacher
unions jump to sign contracts.
Elementary and secondary school teach-
ers want their issues addressed, and the
threat of less money for not signing a con-
tract by a Nov. 30 deadline isn’t making them
change their minds, local union leaders say.
“We really don’t see that as a construc-
tive approach,” said Rachel Gencey, Durham
local president of the Elementary Teachers’
Federation of Ontario. “We view that as a
thinly veiled threat.”
Queen’s Park is offering a three per cent
raise per year for boards that sign teach-
ers to a four-year contract by the date, and
only a two per cent increase over the next
two years for those that don’t. Both unions
have refused to sign on the provincial wage
framework’s dotted line, even though their
Catholic and French counterparts have done
so.
“It’s a threat; (Education Minister Kath-
leen Wynne’s) attempting to intimidate us
into signing something, but don’t call it
bargaining because it’s not bargaining,” said
Shelley Page, Durham local president of the
Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Fed-
eration.
One per cent isn’t going to compel them
to sign, Ms. Page said.
“Twelve per cent in
rough economic seas is
very reasonable,” Pre-
mier Dalton McGuinty
said Tuesday morning,
when asked during a
news conference at St.
Mary Catholic Second-
ary School in Pickering
about teacher negotia-
tions. “It behooves the
teachers to accept a
very fair offer.”
But both local teacher groups say it’s not
about the money.
The elementary teachers made it clear
this round of negotiations was about closing
the gap in per-pupil funding between the el-
ementary and secondary levels, Ms. Gencey
said. Secondary students are allotted about
$711 more per year.
Closing the gap would improve teaching
conditions, class sizes, support staff and
equipment, she said. It would also allow
programming such as design and technol-
ogy and industrial arts to be brought back to
Durham elementary schools, encouraging
kids to pursue skilled trades.
“It’s nothing to do with the salary piece,”
Ms. Gencey said.
At the rate the Province is proposing, it
would take 25 years to close the gap, Ms.
Gencey said.
“And that’s just far too long for our stu-

dents to wait,” she said.
If the government’s looking at more peace and
stability over the next four years, it needs to close
the gap by the end of the four-year contract.
They’ll still discuss local issues such as ben-
efits, long-term disability, working conditions and
teacher-transfer issues, but even if all that ends up
being worked out, there could still be a strike if the
Province doesn’t address the funding-gap issue,
she said.
On the secondary front, the union wants to be
free of the framework and left to bargain without
the Province’s stipulations, Ms. Page said.
Salaries, benefits and working conditions that
include more staff are the big-ticket items, but
they haven’t been able to talk about them locally
because of the government’s approach. The local
parties haven’t met since mid-June.
“They have to let the funds go without attaching
conditions to them . . . and let the parties bargain,”
Ms. Page said.
The only issues they’re able to discuss in light
of the government’s stance include leaves of ab-
sence, recognition clauses and other non-mean-
ingful things, she said. They can’t even discuss
how they would shift some of the money to differ-
ent priorities.
“Release the money and let us bargain with our
employer’ don’t tell us what we’re getting through
the media,” she said.
That being said, she doesn’t anticipate any sud-
den announcements of a work stoppage.
Mr. McGuinty was confident a strike could be
averted.
“Parents shouldn’t be concerned,” Ms. Wynne
said at the Tuesday news conference with the pre-
mier. “We’ve put a reasonable offer on the table.
What’s there can be worked with.”
Many school years have started in the past with-
out a contract, Ms. Wynne said.
AFGHANISTAN — Three Canadian soldiers
were killed and five others were injured when
they were attacked during a patrol in Afghanistan
Wednesday.
Cpl. Andrew Grenon, Cpl. Mike Seggie and
Pte. Chad Horn were conducting a security patrol
in the volatile Zhari district when the attack oc-
curred, military officials said.
The three were infantrymen with 2nd Battalion,
Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry based
in Shilo, Man.
The eight soldiers attacked were all evacuated
by helicopter to Kandahar Airfield.
The three soldiers were confirmed dead on ar-
rival.
One other is in critical condition, another in
serious condition, two are in good condition and
the last soldier was treated and returned to duty,
officials said.
The deaths bring to 96 the number of Canadian
soldiers killed since Canada’s mission to Afghani-
stan began in 2002.

Union wants to bargain with ‘employer’

Wearing blue slacks and a light blue
shirt, she didn’t have her courtroom
clerk’s robe and dickie yet, but should
soon, a symbol that she’s made it, she
said.
“I had been out of school for 25 years,”
Ms. Campbell said. “I drove about five
minutes and I drove back. I thought, ‘I
don’t want to listen to a lecture from my
husband’. And then I didn’t want to dis-
appoint.”
She never bothered to finished high
school when she was a teenager. She
dropped out, got a job, married, had
children and stayed home to raise them.
But when her daughter got to high
school, Ms. Campbell decided she would
get her high school diploma to prove it’s
important.
“It was more for my kids, more to say I
did it,” she said.
Not having her diploma had always
nagged her a bit, so after telling her fam-
ily and friends her intention, she signed
up at Durham Continuing Education to
get her missing six credits. She didn’t
plan on pursuing her education beyond
that.
Then the Durham College Continu-
ous Learning book came. Her dad was a
judge and she’s always been interested
in law. She also volunteered for victim
services.
“Many people struggle with, should I
go back to school or not,” said Judy Rob-
inson, Durham College’s vice president
of academic.
Responsibilities in their personal life
and the structure of school and writing
tests are the two biggest challenges for
mature students, but the school part is
something they adjust to within a couple
of weeks.
“I would say what causes them to pro-
crastinate from coming back to school
is finance issues,” Ms. Robinson said.
“I think the second thing is, can I really
do this, what if I go back and spend this
money and I’m not successful.”
Although Ms. Campbell was nervous
about the idea, she had already con-
quered her fear of the unknown by get-
ting her secondary diploma. She signed
up for Durham College’s court support
service, a one-year certificate program to
become a court reporter, and started last
September.
“I got the job here before it finished,”
she added. The 46-year-old has been
working there since April.
Mature students are quite often suc-
cessful, but may need upgrading first,
Ms. Robinson said.
College and university prep is avail-
able at the college, as is upgrading for
Grade 12 equivalency.
Those who go through upgrading
often find the barriers are not what they
thought they’d be, Ms. Robinson said.
“Even if you don’t think you’re confi-
dent enough, if you have self-doubt I still
think you need to persevere,” she said.
“You can surprise yourself what you can
really accomplish if you put your mind to
it.
“If I could do it, anyone could do it
– with my bad study habits and lack
of confidence,” Ms. Campbell said. She
even received honours.
“Here’s someone who wasn’t going to
go to post-secondary and now I’ve got a
whole new career,” she said.
There are various reasons people want
to go back to school, said Jeanette Bar-
rett, dean of Durham College’s school
of career development and continuing
learning.
They could be grandparents who want
to help their grandchildren or pursue a
hobby, or want to provide better for their
families.
For Cheryl Bartlett, the decision came
out of boredom.
She always knew she wanted a ca-
reer and each time the Durham College
booklet came, she found herself flipping
through it, wondering.
At home, her kids were growing up and
her chores were done by 10 a.m. each
day.
She signed up for office administration
with a legal option, but there were a few
things she worried about, namely getting
lost, her age, and things at home.
“It was the whole atmosphere,” Ms.
Bartlett said.
“Durham College, when you first walk
in it’s a huge campus, but after a month
or so, it’s nothing.”
After a couple weeks of getting to know
people and establishing a new routine,
she got comfortable.
Before going, she also took an upgrad-
ing computer course at the school.
Not fitting in was her biggest miscon-
ception. Her academic success and land-
ing on the president’s honour role were
also a surprise to her.
Through some alternations, the Ajax
resident said she was able to fit every-
thing in.
Ms. Bartlett stopped going to her son’s
10 a.m. hockey games in Markham; she
also brought her books to the hockey
games she attended.
“I spent a lot of weekends on the deck
with my books,” she said. Her kids also
helped out around the house and they
did homework together.
Three years later, she works at Walker
Head in Pickering. She got a job there as
a legal assistant through her field place-
ment and later took another course to
become a law clerk.
Her advice to people sitting on the
fence about returning to school is to go,
she said.
“If you have the opportunity, it’s a great
opportunity,” Ms. Bartlett said. “Just try
to relax and enjoy it.”
In this three-part series running this week
we look at mature students. Tomorrow,
meet a dad who is heading down a new
career path after working more than a de-
cade in the auto industry.

Community activist seeking
options for Pickering senior
battling bylaw
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — A Pickering senior with a
fear of losing his hobby has been given a
glimmer of hope.
John Tennant and his wife, Jean, have
been taken to court for apparently breaking
a Pickering zoning bylaw in regards to run-
ning a business from home. The 81-year-
old, long-time Pickering resident claims fix-
ing lawnmowers and bikes for neighbours
is only a hobby and the most he’ll accept in
the form of payment is a cup of coffee.
Former Pickering councillor turned com-
munity-activist Maurice Brenner has gotten
on board to see what he can do to help the
Tennants. He accompanied the couple to
the Whitby Ontario Court of Justice Tues-
day and was able to convince the court to
adjourn until late October.
In the meantime, Mr. Brenner will either
request a mediated settlement through an
agency such as the Community Justice Al-
ternatives for Durham or request council to
review the position of the City based on the
age of the bylaw (originally written in 1962
and amended in 2004).
“Having read it, much has changed and
I would doubt the Council of the day nor
today intended it to be applied in this fash-
ion,” Mr. Brenner said in an e-mail.
The Tennants’ councillors, Ward 2 City
Councillor Doug Dickerson and Ward 2 Re-
gional Councillor Bill McLean, said they’ve
received complaints over the past couple
of years in regards to noise and pollution
from the mowers. But Coun. McLean said
the bylaw needs to be changed in order to
accommodate volunteers doing the com-
munity a service.
He hopes to convince Council to amend
that bylaw to avoid similar problems in the
future.

AJAX — A traffic stop on the first day of
school led to the seizure of a large cache
of drugs and charges against a Clarington
woman.
A Durham officer pulled the woman’s
Saturn over Tuesday morning in Ajax after
clocking the vehicle at 95 km/h in a 50 km
school zone and noticed a small amount
of marijuana beside the driver, police said.
Cops searched the vehicle and found more
than a kilogram of marijuana and 330 grams
of psilocybin, also known as magic mush-
rooms. A search warrant executed at the
woman’s home in Hampton led officers to
more than a pound of psilocybin, police
said. The street value of the drugs is esti-
mated at more than $30,000. Justine Marie
Brooks, 23 of Liberty Street in Hampton is
charged with possession for the purpose of
trafficking and driving offences.newsdurhamregion.comSchool zones speed trap leads to drug charges

Cats for $50 this weekend,
including all shots
and sterilization
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Joan Stalker is one happy
new cat owner who recommends choosing the
Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary when look-
ing to adopt.
“They’ve got some wonderful cats there,” the
Pickering resident said, adding her new cat is
well-behaved and already trained.
Ms. Stalker recently lost her beloved 19-
year-old cat, Taffy, and decided to go to Sec-
ond Chance for a new cat after being drawn
to the ones the shelter puts up for adoption
at PetSmart in Pickering. After a lengthy tour
of the sanctuary and its feline residents, she
found the right fit for her home. She chose a
silver tabby the shelter affectionately called
Loverboy, which she’s shortened to Elby.
The shelters’ volunteers, friends and em-
ployees were saddened by the recent loss of
its founder, Joyce Smith. It was her dream to
keep the shelter running so lost, abandoned
and abused animals can get a second chance,
and the board has decided to fulfill that dream.
Since Ms. Smith did most of the work around
the sanctuary, where she also lived, the board
is working hard to keep things in full swing.
“We really need donations in order to keep
the shelter running,” said board member M.J.
Galaski. Getting the cats into new homes will
help relieve some of the pressure. Second
Chance will adopt out cats at one third of the
regular price this weekend. They’ll be $50 and
come: already spayed or neutered; de-wormed;
flea-treated; vaccinated (including rabies); with
medical records; and, litter trained. Kittens too
young to get sterilized will cost $150, but Sec-
ond Chance will take care of the spaying or
neutering once they’re old enough.
The sanctuary hopes to find homes for about
100 cats, Ms. Galaski said.
Ms. Stalker, who has rabbits, cats, hamsters
and parakeets, agrees. She was touched by the
shelter’s love for animals, so she’s decided to
volunteer.
“Joyce’s story just warmed my heart,” she
said. “I’m a similar animal nut myself.”
The adopt-a-thon is on Sept. 5, 6 and 7 at
PetSmart in Pickering (1899 Brock Rd., at Brock
and Kingston roads). For more information
call PetSmart at 905-426-7593. To donate visit

Let’s Talk About “Talk” Therapy
Over 20 million Canadians suffer from
psychological disorders like depression,
anxiety, panic attacks, excessive worry,
specifi c phobias and post-traumatic stress.
Problem is, Canadians who might benefi t
profoundly from psychotherapy—a.k.a.
“talk” therapy—aren’t even considering it.
Yet, evidence from brain imaging research
suggests that one form of talk therapy known
as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT,
produces changes in the brain similar to
those produced by anti-depressant or anti-
anxiety medications.
CBT emphasizes the idea that our thoughts
(cognitions) affect how we feel (emotions).
Treatment lasts an average of 16 sessions
(includes “homework”), and involves
changing negative patterns of thinking—and
behaving—using slow, gradual steps.
“CBT involves active collaboration between
patient and therapist,” says Dr. Direnfeld, a
registered psychologist who’s been practicing
CBT since the early ’90s, and who is now the
clinical director of the Centre for Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario.
“In many cases, patients are quick to make
worst-case-scenario assumptions, even
when those assumptions are irrational and
unwarranted,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. “My
role is to use real-world evidence
to help patients become more
rational in their assessment of
diffi cult situations, which then
has a remarkable trickle-down
effect.”
Like medication, CBT has been
shown to impact the brain in ways
that are scientifi cally measurable.
Take Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder, characterized by
anxious thoughts and repetitive
behaviours that are meant to
reduce the anxiety. In a study that
compared CBT to Prozac, changes
in the brain were essentially identical.
Dr. Direnfeld warns, however, that a crucial
element of CBT is a patient’s motivation to
change. Patients must believe, unquestionably,
that change is achievable.
“When my patients—even those who have
suffered for years or decades—understand
that they can change their life, it’s like an
epiphany,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “All of a
sudden, life holds exciting new prospects for
the future.”

Re: Let’s make the good stuff bad so we’ll
eat it, Neil Crone column, Aug. 15
Neil Crone needs to realize he is the mas-
ter of his own demise.
Food that is bad for you is a choice,
granted a tasty one, but it is a choice we
consumers make. This decision to eat the
deep-fried Mars bars does not come from
an internal desire to devour anything that
is not leafy as Mr. Crone would like us to
believe. It is, however, a reaction to the con-
ditions we have been subjected to by our
parents, the same conditions we probably
subject our own children to now.
The change from fast food and deep
fried Mars bars to veggies and fruit, lies in
your hands. Choose not to stop at the fries
stand on the way to the cottage, bring some
fruit or plan to drive through local markets
on your way up. Don’t go to DQ. for the
artery-clogger in a cup they call ‘The Bliz-
zard’. Make it your contribution to a better,
healthier tomorrow. You could even tell
people you’re going green. That is the latest
trend anyway, isn’t it?
Paul Kendall
Whitby
H aving grown up in Southern
Ontario, I’m by no means a
stranger to humidity. But this
summer has been something else. I feel
like I’m living in the Amazon Basin.
When I let the dog out in the morn-
ing I find myself checking for snakes. I
wouldn’t be at all surprised to see some
half-naked individual with a painted face
and a blow-gun furtively squatting in the
Hostas. Such is the density of the rain-
soaked fauna in my backyard.
With so much rain and so little sun to
dry it off, I’ve got moss growing where it
never has: stairs, railings, armpits. Which
brings me to my real dilemma. I can’t
remember the last time I found a dry
towel in the bathroom. I live in an old
Victorian home. She’s a grand old girl,
but like most homes built more than a
century ago, the indoor bathroom was a
bit of an afterthought. Consequently the
“johns” tend to be very small, poorly ven-
tilated quarters. Add to the mixture two
teenage boys who insist on keeping the
bathroom door closed for the duration of
their marathon shower/grooming/nar-
cissus time and you have better growing
conditions than some greenhouses.
You also have perpetually damp towels.
They just don’t dry out. It’s possible they
might have a chance to do so if more than
half of them weren’t dumped on said
teenagers’ bedroom floors. But they are,
so they don’t. And so I am left to wrap
a spongy, cold swathe of sodden cotton
around myself as I step out of the shower
each day. It doesn’t absorb the water so
much as move it from place to place. I
may as well be taking a squeegee to my
back. It’s exasperating and, I’m fairly cer-
tain, unhygienic.
Before I realized the real root of the
problem, I got the bright idea to simply
set aside one of the towels as my own.
After my toweling off in the morning I
would bring my own towel downstairs
with me and set it to dry on the clothes-
line. Thus ensuring a lovely, dry, freshly
scented towel for the next day’s ablutions.
Foolishly, once again, I did not reckon
on the aforementioned teenagers. Trust
me, a freshly dry towel on the line is no
safer than a half-eaten blueberry pie in
the fridge when there are teenage boys
around. Inevitably one of the little stink-
ers would swipe it, use it and dump it on
the by now mossy floor of his sleeping
cave. Leaving Dad once again SOL.
Things are bad. I’ve shifted from soap
to bleach. So fertile have growing condi-
tions become that I don’t even like sitting
in one chair for more than 20 minutes for
fear that I’ll take root. I no longer shave. I
mow my face. For the first time ever, I’ve
had to weed the bathroom floor mat. If we
don’t get some serious, prolonged sun-
shine in a hurry I’m afraid it may be too
late entirely.
The funny thing is that it doesn’t seem
to bother the boys. They seem quite at
home in all of this fecundity. They’re like
Triffids in size 11 sneakers. I’m just afraid
of what that makes me. Food?
Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-
writer, saves some of his best lines for his col-
umns
Tell candidates what you think priorities should be
O n the eve of a federal election it’s
worth thinking about the issues
we’ll see debated over the next
six weeks.
The politicians will have their own
agendas -- they always do -- but it will
be up to voters to tell local candidates
what their priorities should be once they
head to Ottawa to represent their con-
stituents.
What matters most to you? What are
you most upset about? What do you
want to the federal government to focus
on? What would you like your local can-
didate to do for you?
Here in Durham, much has changed
over the past two election cycles. While
there have been some positive develop-
ments in terms of growth and invest-
ment -- think of the dynamic expansion
of the University of Ontario Institute of
Technology and the decision to build
nuclear reactors at Darlington -- much
of what has happened has been nega-
tive.
Among the top priorities in this area
would be the future of the auto industry
and the many businesses and feeder
plants that depend on General Motors of
Canada.
As jobs have gradually been elimi-
nated at GM’s Oshawa autoplex over the
past half-dozen years, there has been
concern at all levels of government
about what should be done.
Many have argued the federal gov-
ernment should intervene to protect
domestic automakers, whether it be
through negotiating a fair trade deal
with Korea, or through changes to mon-
etary policy, or by investing heavily in
parts and auto manufacturing.
Others have suggested it’s largely up
to private industry to deal with com-
petition on the world market front and
to handle the inevitable problems that
arise in a highly diversified global econ-
omy.
Whatever your stand on the issue in
the decline of manufacturing in our
region, the candidates running for office
owe you an explanation about what they
believe should be done.
You can have your say through news-
durhamregion.com by e-mailing your
questions and thoughts on what the
priorities and issues should be in this
campaign. We’ll let the candidates know
what’s on your mind and get answers to
your questions.
Can’t wait to soak in some

Eating right a choice
Residents want
answers and at
least a short-term
solution
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — There’s no
easy solution to the prob-
lem that caused more than
a hundred basement floods
in August, say Durham Re-
gion staff.
At least 107 homes were
flooded after torrential
rains Aug. 11 caused the
sewer system to back up.
The damaged homes were
mainly located on three
streets, Lawrie Road in Ajax
and Annes Street and Wal-
ton Boulevard in Whitby.
Several homes were flooded
in Oshawa as well, but there
wasn’t a concentration of
flooded homes as there was
in the other municipalities.
“The ones in Oshawa
were more sporadic, you
know like one home get-
ting flooded on one street,”
said John Presta, director of
environmental services for
Durham.
Mr. Presta said there’s no
easy solution to preventing
future floods. The Region
believes that somewhere
in the large system, there
are cross connections be-
tween the sewer and storm
water systems. Storm water
is getting into the sewers
and overloading pumping
stations during heavy rains.
In the past, the Region
has worked to disconnect
such cross-connections.
This time the works depart-
ment will look further up-
stream.
While Lawrie Road resi-
dents have come up with
some theories as to why
their neighbourhoods
were flooded, Mr. Presta
dismissed a common one:
that it was caused by the
construction of a new water
treatment plant at the foot
of the road.
He said Region staff were
monitoring the water flow
around the plant during the
storm and there were no
constraints. But whatever it
is, residents want answers
and they want solutions,
quickly.
“I am looking to the Re-
gion and to the Town (of
Ajax) to provide me with a
solution that I can use to
protect my own home, my
residence, until the larger
problem is solved,” said
Lawrie Road resident Victo-
ria Derusha.
Ms. Derusha said the
flood has consumed her
life for the last two weeks.
She’s talking to engineers
and Ajax and Region em-
ployees.
“I spend all my time on
the phone right now. I’m
working with my insurance
company, I’m trying to get
quotations for the goods we
lost,” she said, adding with
hail and flood damage in
several areas and a propane
explosion in Toronto, insur-
ance companies are back-
logged this summer.
So far, she’s disinfected
her basement, but like most
of her neighbours, hasn’t
begun the reconstruction.
“All the garbage is most-
ly out of our houses, but
I haven’t seen one person
who’s been rebuilding yet.”
As to what residents can
do to protect themselves,
Mr. Presta said the Region
will not be recommending
that they install backflow
protection devices, which
can block sewer flow. If
they’re not installed prop-
erly and maintained, the
groundwater pressure could
build up and crack a home’s
foundation. It could also
shift the problem to another
neighbourhood.
Ms. Derusha said she and
her neighbours will be pay-
ing close attention to what
the municipal governments
do. Meanwhile, the cleanup
continues.

Group helps those grieving a death
By Crystal Crimi

DURHAM — The University
of Ontario Institute of Technol-
ogy’s new chancellor is Perrin
Beatty, the “ultimate Canadian
statesman.”
The weather was grey and
windy Thursday morning, but it
was a beautiful day for the uni-
versity with the appointment of
its new chancellor, said UOIT
president Ronald Bordessa.
“We have certainly found
the right person in Perrin Be-
atty,” Dr. Bordessa said, as the
wind blew his hair and made
thundering sounds through the
speaker system.
Mr. Beatty said he hasn’t been
in such a windy place since leav-
ing the House of Commons.
His political career with the
Progressive Conservative Party
included being minister of state
for the Treasury Board, Nation-
al Revenue, National Defence,
National Health and Welfare,
Communications, solicitor
general and secretary of state
for External Affairs.
“He’s the youngest person
ever at that time (1979) to serve
in federal cabinet,” said Doc-
tor Phillip ‘Rocky’ Simmons,
UOIT’s Board of Governors
chairman, who referred to Mr.
Beatty as the “ultimate Cana-
dian statesman.
“This is getting trying here,”
he said, reading the long list of
Mr. Beatty’s accomplishments.
After politics, Mr. Beatty was
president and CEO of the Cana-
dian Broadcasting Corporation,
Canadian Manufacturers and
Exporters and the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce, as well
as business co-chairman of the
Canadian Labour and Business
Centre.
As he stood at the podium
in front of the reflective pond
in the Polonsky Commons, Mr.
Beatty thanked his mother and
stepfather, both Oshawa resi-
dents, for attending.
The school spent about a year
looking for a chancellor to re-
place its first one, Lyn McLeod.
The title has a three-year re-
newable term.
“Thank you so much for al-
lowing me to be part of the
team,” Mr. Beatty said in wrap-
ping up his speech.
“We too are thrilled at the
prospect of working with you
and benefiting from your lead-
ership over the next few years,”
Dr. Bordessa said.
As chancellor, Mr. Beatty will
be on the university’s board of
governors, confer degrees, and
advocate for the university,
making clear its role and need
for support from business and
government leaders.
“He is a wise man in the uni-
versity for who we can call on
for advice,” Dr. Bordessa said.
While we work too hard to
have our tax dollars wasted,
investing them in universities
bears very rich returns on the
economy in future, Mr. Beatty
said.
“This university, ladies and
gentlemen, is filling an impor-
tant gap in our economy,” Mr.
Beatty said.

CANADA’S LEADING PUBLICATION FOR TODAY’S FIFTY-PLUS LIFESTYLES
In Canada, the Special Senate Committee on
Aging reported earlier this year that the average
age of retirement fell gradually from a high of 65.1 in
1977 to a low of 60.9 in 1998 but since then, “there
has been a steady increase in the labour-force
participation and employment rates of seniors.”
Meanwhile, in a study conducted by AARP in the
U.S., 79 per cent of boomers said they plan to work
in some capacity during retirement. Workers 55 and
older will make up roughly 20 per cent of the U.S.
labour force by 2012, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
In an effort to assist boomers looking for jobs
in that new work marketplace, the employment
website Retirementjobs.com, working with the
personnel firm Robert Half International, offers the
following tips forfinding good positions:
Retool your resume.
Revamping your resume is a key first step to
effectively selling yourself to prospective employers.
Instead of formatting your resume chronologically,
consider creating a functional resume that’s
targeted specifically to the positions you seek. A
functional resume emphasizes the unique set of
skills you bring to the table rather than your job
titles or duties.
Keep your skills sharp.
Whether you’re currently employed and looking
for new opportunities, or you’d like to come out
of retirement, there are many ways to stay on the
cutting edge of your field. Consider enrolling in
professional-development courses offered through
an employer, local community college or trade
organization. In addition, subscribing to industry
publications will help you stay apprised of the latest
trends and advancements in your field.
Network, network, network.
The value networking provides can’t be overstated
for workers of any age. Reconnect with former
bosses or colleagues who may have job leads, or
know people who do. Let people know that you’re
looking for a job and give them details about the
types of roles that appeal to you. Joining an industry
association is a quick and efficient way to make new
contacts.
Explore all options.
Working no longer means a rigid nine-to-five
schedule. Companies want to keep long-time
employees in order to retain invaluable institutional
knowledge. As a result, many are offering phased
retirement programs and inviting retirees back to
work part time. In addition, telecommuting, job-
sharing, flextime and seasonal work are options at
an increasing number of firms.
Consider consulting.
Working as a consultant on a temporary or project
basis is another viable option. The advantage of
this type of work is that you can generate income
while choosing which assignments to pursue and
setting your own schedule. By working through a
staffing firm, you’ll receive career guidance, insight
about emerging technologies and job leads. Staffing
firms also can give you a heads-up on the types
of companies that are targeting professionals with
your abilities and background.

CAREER TIPS FOR
WORKERS OVER 50
Both above and below the U.S. border, more and more aging boomers
are choosing to continue to work longer than was the trend even a
decade ago.

Roaring into new hockey season
Panthers open
2008-09 junior ‘A’
campaign Friday
in Port Hope
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Ready or not,
the Pickering Panthers skate into a
new junior hockey season on Friday
night.
The OHA Ontario Provincial Ju-
nior ‘A’ Hockey League squad trav-
els to Port Hope on Friday for the
Ruddock Division regular-season
opener against the Predators at the
Jack Burger Sports Complex at 7
p.m.
The 2008-09 season opens for
an essentially new roster under the
direction of new head coach Bill
Brady, who takes over the reins from
former head coach Mark Joslin, who
left the club after one season at the
helm.
Even though the Panthers fin-
ished the four-game pre-season with
a lone win, coming against the Ajax
Attack by a 5-2 count in Pickering
last Thursday, Brady is nonetheless
enthused with his young club, pro-
claiming them prepared to embark
on the new junior ‘A’ campaign.
“We have no choice; we have to be
ready and we are ready,” said Brady,
who served as an assistant with the
Panthers several years ago. “We’ve
got a good foundation, a starting
point, so we’ll be OK.”
Brady knows full well the Pan-
thers must show improvement this
season after a dismal 2007-08 cam-
paign that culminated in a poor 10-
38-1 record and a last-place
finish in their con-
ference. The new
coach is confident
the club will im-
prove albeit
incrementally
this season.
“I defi-
nitely hope so,”
said Brady, noting the work ethic of
the players is strong. “We’ve got a
good foundation. I’m sure we’ll have
some growing pains, but once we
get going, we’ll be OK.”
Toward that stated goal of im-
provement, Brady believes a strong
start, including a win in Friday’s
opener in Port Hope, will set a solid
tone for the season.
“It’s very important to get off to
a good start. We want to set the
tempo for the season. If we don’t
(win Friday), it’s not the end of the
world. We have a week of practices
to regroup, but I would love to have
a good start and hopefully we will.”
And, Brady said the Predators rep-
resent a stern test for the Panthers,
which are now part of a Ruddock Di-
vision populated by east-of-Toronto
teams this season, as opposed to
a steady diet of
Toronto-area
teams last
season.
“Every
year they
always
have good
kids on their
team,” said Brady,
who coached the Cobourg Cougars
most of last season. “They do what
they can to put the best kids on the
ice. When I was in Cobourg, we
competed against a team that has
12 to 18 billets (players from out of
town). They got their players from
all over the place.”
Brady is high on a quartet of Pan-
thers, three of whom are veterans
with one rookie who’s been tear-
ing it up in the pre-season. Forward
Greg Riggs, defencemen Nick Leb-
outhiller and Aaron Engelage and
first-year forward Connor Ste. Marie
have been his strongest Panthers’
performers during the pre-season.
Ste. Marie, formerly of the North
York Rangers ‘AAA’ midgets, has
been especially prolific in the pre-
season, leading the team in points
through the exhibition games and
generally asserting himself as an of-
fensive threat.
“He’s made the team and has
done very well,” said Brady, who
also praised other rookies including
defenceman Des Cowan and right
wingers Mike Lucifora and Brandon
Porco for a strong pre-season.
The club will start the season with
a trio of goaltenders including veter-
an Terrence Reid and rookies Chris
Feiler and former Ajax-Pickering
Raiders midget netminder Jared
Cowley.
Brady noted, quite simply, the
play of each of the goaltenders has
made it too difficult to part with any
one to start the season.
“All three of them deserve it. We
couldn’t make a decision at this
present time, so we’ll start the sea-
son with three,” said Brady.

Boys’ U10 squad
sweeps through
tournament
PICKERING — The Pickering
Predators boys’ U10 rep soc-
cer team played perfectly on
the pitch to secure the cham-
pionships at the 11th annual
Mini Cup Tournament hosted
by North Toronto Soccer Club
recently.
Playing on a rainy, wet week-
end with plenty of delays, the
Predators were still able to pre-
vail by a 2-1 score over North
Toronto Green in the final.
To advance to the champi-
onship, the Pickering U10s
downed Leaside Gold 4-1 in the
semifinal.
The Predators swept through
round-robin play, earning three
victories. Pickering defeated
North Toronto White 4-0, the
Leaside Blue Tigers 3-0 and the
Markham Hornets 8-0.
All told, the Predators filled
opposition nets with 21 goals,
while allowing only two to enter
their net.

Cueing up the fight against cancer
Pickering woman
organizes weekend
tournament at
Oshawa’s Le Skratch
in honour of
Dave McMahon
By Brian McNair

OSHAWA — Anita McMahon is
hoping to put cancer behind the
8-ball for good.
After all, she knows as well as
anyone how torturous this disease
can be.
McMahon, a multiple Canadi-
an champion in billiards, lost her
husband, Dave, to Gastrointestinal
Stromal Tumors at the tender age
of 35 just under a year ago.
To honour his memory and raise
much-needed funds for cancer re-
search, she has organized the first
annual Dave ‘Magic’ McMahon
Memorial 9-Ball Bar Box Cham-
pionships for this weekend at Le
Skratch in Oshawa.
The opening day of the event.
Sept. 6, will mark the first anniver-
sary of his death.
“We definitely need to find a
cure or some medication to make
it much easier for them,” said Mc-
Mahon, who was with her hus-
band every step of the way during
a four-year battle. “I was not only
his wife, I was his doctor, his nurse,
everything.”
In a cruel twist, when contacted
just over a week ago, McMahon
was getting ready for an emer-
gency hysterectomy after cancer
was recently discovered in her
uterus. The good news there is she
expected a full recovery and still
planned to be at the tournament
this weekend.
“The good thing is it can all
be taken out,” she said, explain-
ing she’s been carefully monitored
since cancer cells were found 15
years ago. “It hasn’t spread any-
where else.”
In looking for a fundraising
event, there was little question bil-
liards would be the format.
The two met through the game
some 15 years ago, when Dave
offered some coaching to Anita.
He later admitted, although they
didn’t hook up as a couple for
seven years, he was in love the
minute he set eyes on her.
“He was an angel,” she said. “He
was just the love of my life. He was
a wonderful human being.”
Although he fought the cancer
for four years, it was determined
McMahon had it for about five
years previously without knowing
it. Chemotherapy treatment cost
about $10,000 per month and sur-
gery ravaged his body, as he once
went from 230 pounds to 153 after
two weeks in hospital.
Last August, six months after
having 80 per cent of his liver re-
moved and three months from
being declared cancer-free, it had
returned and was all over his body.
He spent a month in the hospi-
tal in Oshawa before asking to go
home to die, which he did 11 days
later.
“I don’t know where I got that
strength,” said Anita, who moved
in with him while he was at the
hospital. “I think he was too good
for this Earth, that’s what I hon-
estly believe, because he would
never hurt anybody, ever. He al-
ways wanted to please.”
A Canadian champion several
times over and once a silver med-
allist at the world championships,
McMahon hasn’t been able to play
the game in a long time.
Recalling a Christmas in which
Dave had expressed his one true
wish was to see her win a world
championship, McMahon said
she expects to return to the game
somewhere down the road, but
not just yet.
“I’m going through a time where
it’s too painful to play,” said Mc-
Mahon, a 40-year-old Pickering
resident. “I haven’t picked up a
cue in I don’t know how long...
Dave would want me to, but I’m
not ready.”
Anyone interested in more in-
formation about the tournament
can call 905-837-9360 or 905-995-
8393. McMahon, who has already
raised about $5,000 in donations,
hopes to see that number dou-
bled.
