More than 150 busted
during holiday
RIDE campaign
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The number of people busted
for drunk driving by Durham police during
the annual Festive RIDE campaign contin-
ues to rise, with more than 150 charged this
year.
That’s an average of more than 20 im-
paired motorists arrested in each of the
seven weeks the campaign ran; and it’s an
indication the war against drunk driving is
still raging, according to police Chief Mike
Ewles.
“It’s going to be an ongoing challenge for
us,” the chief said Monday morning.
“We’re not giving up on it.”
Chief Ewles made the comments follow-
ing the release of the final results for the
2008 Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driv-
ing Everywhere) effort, during which officers
charged 152 people with drunk driving, a
sharp increase from last year’s total of 113.
In comparison, Toronto police laid 20
impaired charges during a five-week cam-
paign; York Region cops had charged 14
alleged drunk drivers as of Dec. 28.
The chief readily admits the latest number
was influenced by a stepped-up campaign,
which saw a higher number of cops working
RIDE checks throughout the holiday season.
But at the same time those officers stopped
fewer vehicles -- 10,468 this year, compared
to almost 13,000 in 2007.
“We’re actually stopping fewer vehicles
but I think our officers are taking a more
strategic approach,” Chief Ewles said.
That approach included carefully choos-
ing areas in which to set up RIDE stops and
aggressively checking out drivers for indica-
tions of drinking, including glassy eyes and
the odour of booze, he said.
“They’re a lot more aggressive,” he said of
Durham’s RIDE cops.
“They’re getting up close and personal to
make sure (drivers) haven’t been drinking . .
. they’re being very suspicious, let’s say.”
During the campaign officers set up each
night at locations throughout the region,
stopping thousands of vehicles a week. A
mobile command post allowed cops to test
suspected drunk drivers on the spot and in
addition to those busted for exceeding the
legal limit, 12-hour suspensions were issued
to 168 motorists who registered warning
levels on breath-test machines.
In total, officers conducted more than 900
roadside breath tests. Among those charged
were 45 G1 or G2 licence holders who are
not allowed to have any alcohol in their sys-
tems while at the wheel.
Police spokesman Dave Selby said there’s
no composite portrait of those charged dur-
ing this year’s campaign, except that most
were male and the majority are Durham
residents. Those charged ranged in age from
their teens to late 60s, he said.
Increased funding from the province is
helping Durham police to extend the RIDE
program throughout the year, Chief Ewles
noted.

DURHAM — Connie Church has been a
nurse for almost 38 years but lately most of
her days are spent teaching, not providing
bedside care.
Her switch in career focus comes from
an Ontario program called the Late Career
Nurse Initiative, created to retain nurses
who may otherwise retire.
For Ms. Church, a registered nurse at Lak-
eridge Health, it was a chance to share her
almost four decades of knowledge with re-
cent graduates through special projects.
“What tempted me was I was able to get
rid of some night shifts and I could apply my
teaching skill that I love and still stay on the
floor,” she said.
It’s also less physically demanding for
nurses who have aches and pains from years
of lifting patients and hauling heavy equip-
ment.
“A lot of girls do have leg problems, back
problems, but they still have the expertise.”
Last year at Lakeridge more than $400,000
was used to support late-career nursing,
nursing director Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann
said.
Keeping nurses is important because, ac-
cording to the Registered Nurses Association
of Ontario, the average age of registered
nurses in Ontario is 45.9. The share of the
nursing workforce under age 35 has dropped
from 24 per cent in 1995 to 18 per cent in
2007.
The need for nurses is so great the pro-
vincial government recently created Health
Force Ontario, the Province’s strategy to en-
sure Ontarians have access to the right num-
ber and mix of health care providers, now
and in the future.
And the Province made a guarantee to
nursing grads: the Ministry of Health and
Long-Term Care is committed to ensuring
every new Ontario nursing graduate in 2008
who wishes to work full-time in the province
will have that opportunity.
The government is providing funding to
create bridging positions to support new
graduates find employment.
The 4,000 grads in 2008 are desperately
needed in the province at a time when there
are many nursing jobs available elsewhere.
According to the College of Nurses of Ontar-
io, the number of registered nurses working
in Ontario increased by just 671 in 2007.
And the nurse shortage is just one part of
the picture.
There are a lot of jobs in health care that
high school graduates and those looking to
switch careers might not immediately think
of, said Susan Sproul, interim dean, School
of Health and Community Services at Dur-
ham College.
“These are areas that we really need skilled
employees in, so the job prospects and the
job market is very, very positive,” she said.
One area of need is personal support
workers who provide one-on-one support
in nursing homes, group homes, long-term
care facilities and schools. Durham Col-
lege has a year-long diploma program for
PSW, which means students are employable
quickly, Ms. Sproul said. All health programs
at Durham have a field placement compo-
nent and many placements end in employ-
ment, she said.
“Many are actually hired before they even
graduate,” she said.
The health and wellness sector is also one
of the focuses of the Community Adjustment
Strategy Committee.
The committee released a draft report
recently available at www.opportunityosha-
wadurham.ca.
One of their goals is to enhance specific
industry sectors that will provide opportu-
nities for retraining and the development
of new skills in the workforce. Their vision
for the sector includes becoming a region-
al centre of expertise in non-institutional
health and wellness and becoming a rec-
ognized centre for environmental health:
linking physical and mental health with the
environment.
Work in health care is rewarding, Ms.
Church said. After a long career, she still
loves her job.
“Looking back, I have no regrets,” she said.
“There’s not been a day in my life where I’ve
said why did I choose this.”
This is the first in a five-part series on Durham
growth sectors. Next week: Nuclear energy.

More than
1,000 millimetres
of precipitation
fell last year
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Residents throughout the re-
gion saw a mishmash of weather conditions
this year ranging from one of the snowiest
winters on record in early 2008 to an unusu-
ally soggy summer.
Out of the year’s 366 days, 217 of those saw
either measurable or trace amounts of pre-
cipitation, said David Phillips, Environment
Canada’s senior climatologist.
“The numbers are still coming in but it
looks like well over 1,000 millimetres of
melted snow and rain,” he said, adding that
the statistics peg 2008 as the wettest year
since 1977. “Sixty per cent of the days were
kind of wet days and I think that really in
many ways sort of defined how miserable
the year was,” Mr. Phillips said.
Heavy storms throughout the region this
summer caused extreme flooding in many
areas and the fickle tendency of the weather
conditions put a damper on several commu-
nity events.
“It was a bummer of a summer for some
people,” he said, adding that many days saw
sudden shifts -- from clear to rainy or from
warm to cold -- causing frustration among
residents.
Whitby’s Harbour Days is one of the local
events that saw a dramatically lower number
of visitors as strong winds swept through the
outdoor festivities, wiping out displays along
the pier and blowing away tents situated
near the water.
“I think a lot of people would like to see
the end of 2008 from the stock market and
finances but also from a weather point of
view.”
Area residents did breathe easier though,
Mr. Phillips pointed out, hailing the year as
one of the best when it came to clean air
-- 2008 saw about half the number of smog
days as previous years.
The Durham area in particular only saw
about 10 days where temperatures rose
above 30 degrees Celsius compared to 27
scorching days in 2007.
The massive summer rains fall in stark
contrast to last year when the dry conditions
spurred health and environment concerns.
“This past summer, (we had) three-and-
a-half times more rain than we had the year
before when there were water bans, wildfire
concerns (and the) gardens were stressed,”
he said.
“The landscape this year at least looked
never more beautiful . . . We certainly had to
mow the law a lot but didn’t have to use our
air conditioning that much.”
Looking ahead to 2009, the forecast for the
rest of the winter indicates more of the same
pattern with near normal temperatures and
steady precipitation, Mr. Phillips said.
“We’ll probably see more than our share
of snow but we’ll also see some rain too,
which will help to naturally melt that snow
so we won’t have to be pushing and shovel-
ing,”
The spring also appears to be more on the
mild side and early predictions for the sum-
mer suggest likely cooler and wetter condi-
tions than normal.
Bummer of a summer as 2008 wettest year in three decades
‘This past summer, (we had) three-
and-a-half times more rain than we
had the year before when there were
water bans, wildfire concerns (and
the) gardens were stressed.’

PICKERING — Whether 600 kids
will continue to use the Pickering
Athletic Centre (PAC) at its current
location will be up to the Ontario
Municipal Board.
York Region, which owns 80 per
cent of the Duffin Creek Water
Pollution Control Plant in south
Pickering, filed an appeal to the
Ontario Municipal Board after
Pickering council decided the cen-
tre could stay open. The building
is located within 150 metres of the
plant, which is against ministry of
environment guidelines.
In November, coaches and ath-
letes packed the Pickering council
chambers when the issue came up.
Nearly 15 people spoke in support
of the centre remaining open and
council agreed.
But, York Region, right before
the deadline, sent its appeal to the
OMB. The date for the first public
meeting on the matter has yet to be
chosen.
The ministry found there could
be problems with noise and odour
from the plant and also noted sev-
eral site function issues would have
to be addressed to accommodate
recreational uses, and the regions
of York and Durham agreed. The
owner of the property, Dennis
Large, argued that the Waterfront
Trail is even closer to the plant than
the PAC, yet people are able to use
that. He also said the odour is only
noticeable in the parking lot, not
inside, and noted the difficulty of
finding an alternate location if the
PAC is forced to shut down.

DineSafe
Durham to
launch in March
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Durham
diners will soon get the
green light for their favou-
rite eateries, as restaurants
will be required to display
red, yellow or green cards
based on their health in-
spection results.
Starting in March as part
of the DineSafe Durham
program, establishments
serving food will display
a green card if they pass,
a yellow card as a con-
ditional pass if there are
significant infractions that
must be corrected within
72 hours and a red card if
they present an immediate
health hazard to the public.
Red carded establishments
are closed. The program is
not limited to restaurants,
but also includes grocery
stores, convenience stores,
cafeterias, nursing homes
and more.
“Any place that deals with
food will have one of these
signs,” said Ken Gorman,
director of environmental
health for Durham’s health
department.
There’s a great deal of
public support for a dis-
closure system, he said.
More than 90 per cent of
Durham residents think
health inspection informa-
tion should be posted and
96 per cent say it would
affect their decision to visit
a restaurant.
Other municipalities,
including Toronto, have
similar programs so din-
ers may already be famil-
iar with it. Still, the health
department is conducting
a public education cam-
paign before DineSafe is
rolled out, including dis-
tributing pamphlets and
displays in local malls in
February,
The Region also grabbed
the attention of holiday
moviegoers.
“When you sit down be-
fore the movie and you see
the little slideshow, that’s
going on there now and it’s
simply to create awareness
in the community,” said
Mr. Gorman.
As well, food service op-
erators can sign up for ori-
entation sessions in Janu-
ary and February if they
want. Inspectors have been
letting them know dur-
ing recent visits what type
of card they would have
earned.
Mr. Gorman said it will
take a while to inspect
all of the Region’s 3,300
establishments. Some
are inspected more fre-
quently than others de-
pending on the level of risk
associated with the type of
food they serve.
“They’ll all be inspect-
ed before the summer of
2009.”
And although they’ve
had questions, the major-
ity of operators support the
program, said Mr. Gorman.
This includes Ajax Boston
Pizza general manager
Viraz Godrej.
“From my point of view,
I would want to know how
a restaurant was rated be-
fore I entered it,” he said.
Mr. Godrej added he’s
not worried about inspec-
tions since his company
has set the bar above the
health department’s stan-
dards and receives fre-
quent inspections from
head office. He expects the
overall effect to be posi-
tive.
“It can only help the res-
taurant business as well as
restaurant owners to get to
a higher level.”

Residents need to stay
up-to-date on local issues
To the editor:
Re: ‘Pickering group wants sewage facility
stopped’, Jan. 2 News Advertiser.
I read with interest the article about this
group wanting to stop the odour control
facility.
The article makes it appear like this group
just found out about the entire project. I am
one to champion citizens wanting answers
and applaud when they actually stand up
and take action, but I do have a few ques-
tions.
Did the group that was formed take part
in the public forum on June 26, 2007 at
Pine Ridge Secondary School? If so that is
great. Why is the public just hearing about
them now in the local media? The odour
control facility was mentioned in the pre-
sentation that is also online. This can’t be a
new development at all.
Pickering and the Region have been talk-
ing about the Big Pipe for quite some now.
Surely it should not be news to the Cherry-
wood residents as of December 2008.
Residents need to pay attention to local
level politics and issues to know what
is going on. It is the responsibility of the
Region and municipality to inform based
on guidelines, and it is the responsibility
of residents to be informed and seek out
information long before the last minute.
The project has been on the Durham
Region website since the beginning with
a direct link to the environmental assess-
ment process.
The local councillors communicate via
websites and or newsletters and I am sure
they have brought up this plan at some
point. To echo a Toronto councillor, “There
is never enough process when you are
against something.”
I hope the residents work with the Region
and that some compromises can be made.

‘Secret Santa’ helps couple
To the editor:
A week or so before Christmas, it was
pretty hazardous on the roadways with the
recent snowstorms. We had occasion to
be out on these treacherous roads during
a very bad storm. We were unable to stop
our vehicle at the intersection of the Dur-
ham/York line and Whitevale Road. We slid
sideways across the road and into a ditch,
called road assistance and were told it
would take two hours for someone to come
and pull us out.
While we waited several people stopped
to see if they could help us and also lend us
their cell phones. After my husband swept
off the van with my old curling broom,
another car came by and the driver asked if
he could help us and said he always stops
for a curler. I wondered how he knew we
were curlers until my husband said he used
my old broom and left it beside the van.
Another couple stopped and offered to
call a tow truck driver they knew. We told
them we had already phoned, but thanks
anyway. After they left, a tow truck arrived
and we thought, ‘this is great, our tow truck
phone call was faster than we thought’. No,
it was Pete’s towing and a nice young man
told us his friends who had stopped to help
us had called. We let him take us out of
that ditch and thanked him so much. He
wished us a Merry Christmas. We contact-
ed our roadside assistance and cancelled
as a secret Santa had come to our rescue.
We would like to thank the couple who
called Pete’s towing and especially our tow
truck driver. Goodwill does exist, as we
found out. There are a lot of good people
willing to help and to all those Good
Samaritans who stopped, thanks so much.

We must demand more
To the editor:
While factories close, governments fiddle.
Working women and men in the manu-
facturing sector are suffering as our politi-
cians dither.
In Canada, hundreds of thousands of
manufacturing jobs are gone with another
250,000 expected losses in the next few
years. Each of these job losses has a dis-
tressing human face attached to them.
How many more working Canadians will
have to face their families to tell them they
have lost their jobs before our leaders wake
up? Think of the distraught and tears that
have already occurred at kitchen tables
across this country.
In any other continent, a job crisis of this
magnitude would have people on the street
demanding action from their respective
governments. We are a compassionate
society. Our compassion for those who
have lost jobs must turn into action and
our complacency replaced with outrage.

Time to put
fighting in
spotlight
E verybody who was there said it was
nothing out of the ordinary, just a
typical hockey fight.
But on Monday, that typical hockey fight
resulted in the funeral of 21-year-old Port
Perry native Don Sanderson.
Before friends and family, Mr. Sanderson
was mourned at Immaculate Conception
Roman Catholic Church, his too short life
celebrated by those who knew him best.
Regarded as a heart and soul guy who
played with dogged determination and
left it all on the ice, Mr. Sanderson will be
dearly missed by his teammates and most
of all, by his family.
It’s such a shame that in playing the sport
he loved, he lost his life.
The facts surrounding the injury which
placed him in the three-week coma pre-
ceding his death are almost mundane.
During the third period of a Senior AAA
game in Brantford on Dec. 12, Mr. Sand-
erson, a Whitby Dunlop defenceman,
squared off with a Brantford player. The
two started throwing punches and Mr.
Sanderson’s helmet fell off during the
scuffle, not unusual in a hockey fight.
Both players fell to the ice and in that fall,
Mr. Sanderson’s head hit the ice hard. He
was attended to and briefly regained con-
sciousness, even regaining his feet before
falling into unconsciousness and then into
a coma where he remained before he died
early on Jan. 2.
Senior AAA rules stipulate that play-
ers are ejected from the remainder of the
game. But, after the death of Mr. Sander-
son, it’s time to look at tightening the rules
surrounding fighting. It may be time to add
a suspension for the following game as well
and to increase the suspension for repeat
offenders. Mr. Sanderson, a tough player,
had six fights in 11 games. It’s possible that,
if the league had more stringent and tough-
er penalties against fighting, Mr. Sanderson
wouldn’t have been in action that fateful
night.
Given that fighting is almost never seen
at the highest and best levels of hockey --
the Olympics, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the
World Junior Championships, for instance
-- it’s worth asking whether it’s really a nec-
essary part of the game. Perhaps it’s time
to ban fighting in hockey. Those who gov-
ern the sport must have the debate about
whether fighting serves any real purpose,
about whether it sets the right example for
children, about whether it’s the best face to
put forward for this great game.
Let’s not have another player die before
we do something about this issue.

kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Repercussions of the current
economic downturn may cause new trends
among Durham homeowners and in the
Region’s land development in 2009.
Durham’s population grows at an average
rate of 10,000 new residents each year, said
Nestor Chornobay, the Region’s director of
strategic planning. However, it’s hard to tell
if Durham will meet that number in the
coming year because people may be wait-
ing for better economic times to buy a new
home, he said.
“In leaner economic times people tend to
stay put,” he said. “If people do move, it will
probably be in search of work.”
Staying put for leisure time is another
trend Durham residents may see in 2009.
Vacations that include plane tickets and
hotels may be substituted for trips to local
recreation complexes, campgrounds and
tourist sites like the Waterfront Trail, Mr.
Chornobay said.
Although some people may be waiting for
a better time to move, land development is
still in the works across the Region.
“The hot spots for growth and construc-
tion in 2009 are Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa,”
said Mr. Chornobay.
These municipalities are likely to have the
most growth because they have the most
available greenspace for large development
in Durham.
Cities like Clarington and Pickering are
still growing, but at a slower rate, he said.
Pickering’s growth rate is constrained by a
lack of available greenspace. The main green
space remaining in the city is Seaton, said
Mr. Chornobay, and it will soon be devel-
oped. Other than Seaton, he said Pickering’s
development will be in the form of infills,
building homes in smaller, undeveloped
pieces of land.
Infilling is resulting in more townhomes,
apartment-style dwellings and a gen-
eral trend towards high-density living in
Pickering.
High-density living tends to be more af-
fordable for people, said Mr. Chornobay.
This could be another trend caused by the
economic slump in 2009.
Mr. Chornobay said he remains optimistic
about growth in Durham.
“It’s a good place to live and work,” he
said. “Durham will make it through this
economic downturn and will continue to
grow.”
Durham’s current population is roughly
600,000, and the Province has predicted it to
hit 960,000 by 2031.
However, while Durham’s home starts
have decreased this year, Pickering’s have
gone up.
The number of foundations laid in
Pickering for new housing has increased in
2008 from this time last year by about 50
per cent, according to recent figures by the
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpora-
tion (CMHC). While there were 173 home
starts from January to November of 2007 in
Pickering, there have been 259 this year.
Jason Mercer, CMHC’s senior market ana-
lyst for the GTA, said this is mostly due to
an increase in townhouse developments in
Pickering. CMHC had predicted households
would purchase townhouses instead of sin-
gle-detached homes due to the economic
slowdown.
“That certainly has taken place,” he said in
an interview.
While start-ups for single-detached and
semi-detached homes are down in Pickering
this year, townhouses have risen to 193 in
2008 from 57 at this time in 2007. This is
from townhouses going up at San Francisco
By the Bay and the Coughlan Homes devel-
opment at Brock Road and Finch Avenue,
said Pickering director of planning and de-
velopment, Neil Carroll.
Since Pickering is trying to move away
from having single-family homes built, he
said townhomes are good, but the numbers
are still not as high as the City would like.
“As being a growth centre, we’re really not
promoting townhouses in the downtown,
but apartments,” Mr. Carroll said.
One upcoming project for Pickering, Duf-
fin Heights, likely won’t begin until late 2009
or early 2010. In the meantime, there are de-
velopments set to go at Fairport and Kings-
ton Roads, Fairport and Valley Farm Roads
and the apartments in the plans for San
Francisco by the Bay (so far, just townhouses
have gone up), for example.
“Each of these projects are in the hundreds
of units,” Mr. Carroll said, adding numbers
should increase next year.
Seaton will bring a full range of hous-
ing once it gets off the ground, increasing
Pickering’s numbers dramatically, Mr. Car-
roll said.
Durham as a whole, on the other hand,
has experienced a 17-per-cent decrease
in home starts. Up until November of last
year, 3,582 home starts took place, com-
pared to 2,967 this year. Durham, Mr. Mercer
said, is prone to building single-detached
homes, but CMHC predicts Durham will,
like Pickering, increase in multi-dwelling
units in upcoming years.
“Expect to see municipalities follow the
trend for Durham,” he said.
This year, 1,912 new foundations were laid
in the Oshawa Census Metropolitan Area,
which is down 14 per cent from last year, but
new townhouses increased by 50 per cent.
Ajax single-detached, semi-detached and
townhouse home starts have decreased by
37 per cent this year. Whitby experienced an
11-per cent decline, having dropped most
significantly in new apartments, with 271
last year and none in 2008.

Construction is ongoing in Duffin’s Gate in Pickering. While Durham’s home starts decreased in 2008, Pickering saw its numbers increase.
High-density growth amidst hard economic times
Clear bags kick
off next week
DURHAM — The clear garbage bags pilot
project begins on Jan. 12 for selected resi-
dents in Pickering and Clarington.
One garbage route in each of the mu-
nicipalities, totalling about 1,500 homes,
has been chosen for the program which
runs through April 10. The goal of the Clear
Bags Pilot Study is to see whether the use of
the clear bags increases composting and re-
cycling rates. Residents must use only clear
garbage bags instead of the usual green or
black. Each bag can contain one opaque
grocery-type bag for bathroom and health
waste. The opaque bag can also be used for
pet waste or kitty litter. There are no changes
to the collection schedule or garbage limits.
For more information, residents can visit
www.durhamregionwaste.ca, review the
waste collection calendar, or contact the
Waste Management Call Centre at 905-579-
5264 or 1-800-667-5671.

As new animals arrive,
lack of space continues
to present problems
By Parvaneh Pessian
ppessian@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — While no permanent loca-
tion has yet been found for the burned-
out Durham Humane Society, animals
continue to be dropped off at the society’s
doorstep.
The shelter was home to nearly 200
animals before a massive fire took the
lives of nearly all of them and destroyed
the building in the wee hours of Dec. 17.
Now as the shaken staff members work
toward getting back on their feet, they are
also forced to struggle to find ways to ac-
commodate new animals in need.
“Just because we don’t have a shelter
doesn’t mean people aren’t wanting to
get rid of animals,” shelter manager Ruby
Richards said, adding that at least four
dogs and eight cats arrived over the holi-
days.
“It’s frustrating when you’re getting an-
imals in and you don’t really know where
to bring them.”
All but one of the 13 animals that sur-
vived the blaze have been adopted by res-
idents across the region while the newly
arriving animals are being cared for at the
animal services site in Oshawa.
Staff are currently looking into acquir-
ing more space out of a nearby ware-
house.
“We’re all over the place right now,”
said Ms. Richards from the Oshawa Civic
Auditorium, where phones and comput-
ers have been set up for shelter staff.
“Unfortunately animal services is un-
able to house a large number of animals
for us so we have to have a place for
them,” she said, adding that the staff are
relying on foster homes for the animals in
the time being.
Several local businesses have already
offered time, materials and labour free
of charge to rebuild the shelter but the
search for available land has stalled the
project.
“We’re desperately looking. We’ve got
all the real estate agents out there hunting
down pieces of property and we’re inves-
tigating everybody that comes through,”
Ms. Richards said.
“We’re kind of just stuck in a holding
pattern. We can’t move forward without
the land so it doesn’t look like we’re mak-
ing any progress whatsoever.”
The problem lies in securing land that
is properly zoned for the development,
said Oshawa resident Melissa Godley-
Kingdon who put the initial request for
assistance out to businesses in the com-
munity.
“As soon as we get offers of land and
we ask the municipality, they say no be-
cause it’s deemed as residential and not
industrial, which we need so it’s a slow
process.”
The cause of the fire that left about
$250,000 in damages at the 199 Waterloo
St. site has still not been determined but
fire inspectors hope to have the informa-
tion by sometime next week.

The computer is now a must for schoolwork. Combined
with its indispensable peripheral, the printer, it allows you
to hand in well-presented work. Access to Internet also
offers the possibility of doing more detailed and in-depth
research.
You can let your child use the family computer but he
could also have his own, in which case it should respond
to his specifi c needs. At present, students use computers
mainly for Internet and e-mails. A good percent-
age of students also use a computer for word
processing or other school work.
Whatever model you choose, you should know
that new information technologies are still pro-
gressing very rapidly. In other words, a com-
puter or software is soon out of date. Moreover, it often
happens that a computer, bought over a year ago, can’t
accommodate the latest software. Because of this rapid
development, students often need new tools. However,
by carefully choosing a computer and software for their
practical aspects, their compatibility and longevity of use,
it is possible to prolong the life-span of the system.
A student who works diligently can spend many hours in
front of his computer. Make sure that your child adopts a
rhythm of work suitable to his capabilities. Remind him to
do relaxation exercises once in a while and to look away
from the computer screen to focus on something in the
distance in order to rest his eyes.

American Avocet
sightings rare here
By Margaret Cappa
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX — Each year, winter brings cold
weather and fluffy snow to Ajax, but it rarely
brings the American Avocet.
“This is pretty incredible for Ajax,” said
resident Geoff Carpentier. “In fact, this bird
is rarely sighted anywhere in Eastern North
America.”
Mr. Carpentier, a self-proclaimed, hard-
core birdwatcher, said in his 40 years of bird
watching he’s seen less than 10 American
Avocets. To see one in Ajax is a true wonder.
The American Avocet is known to spend
winter on the southern Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of Mexico and the United States. To
see one in Ontario during the winter is virtu-
ally unheard of, said Mr. Carpentier. The Ca-
nadian regions where Avocets may be more
commonly seen are in the prairie provinces
during summer months. The only other Avo-
cet sighting in Ajax was over a decade ago
during the summer.
The Ajax Avocet, a female, was first sight-
ed by Jim Fairchild of Scarborough on Nov.
16 and remained in the Duffins Creek area
until Dec. 5. It then flew south - a little - to
Grand Island, N.Y., where it was sighted on
Dec. 6.
“It could have ended up in the area for
many reasons,” said Mr. Carpentier. “It may
have been distracted, blown off course by a
storm or hurt.”
After birds get into such circumstances,
he said, they often lose their urge to migrate
south.
The Avocet was last sighted Dec. 20 in
Pennsylvania, and will probably remain in
the area for winter.
Mr. Carpentier recently finished docu-
menting Ajax’s bird list, which now stands
at 307 species sighted within the town’s
municipal boundaries.
Most of the sightings were recorded by
birdwatchers who belong to local organiza-
tions like the Pickering Naturalists.
As for more Avocets being spotted in Ajax
during the winter, Mr. Carpentier said it may
never happen again.
For those interested in bird watching,
contact your local naturalist club. The latest
bird-watching event in Durham was held on
Jan. 3. You can find out more at www.picker-
ingnaturalists.org or contact Glenda Jones at
905-427-6999.

(NC) Once winter arrives, many
people tend to go into hibernation mode
- high caloric comfort foods are what
we crave and we certainly get our share
of rich food during the Holiday period.
However, for many seniors, these same
delicious foods can come with a high
fat and salt content that can affect their
health and quickly derail any New Year’s
resolutions to eat healthy.
“Regardless of when you start, healthy
eating can help you maintain and im-
prove your health,” says Rob Huppée,
Vice President, Fitness, Recreation and
Nutrition, Origin Evergreen retirement
community in Mississauga, Ontario.
“Adults over the age of 70, have unique
dietary needs. They require fewer calo-
ries, yet their need for essential nutrients
stays the same and in some cases even
goes up; older adults need more calci-
um, Folate , Vitamin D and B6” This can
prove to be a challenge for some seniors
and it’s especially true during the winter
months when we may be naturally in-
clined to eat calorie-rich foods.”
Huppée offers the following healthy
eating tips for seniors:
• Eat nutrient dense foods such as
whole grain breads and cereals,
fruits and vegetables, legumes, fi sh,
poultry or lean meats
• Don’t forget the fi ber - not only are
whole grained breads and cereals,
legumes, and many fruits and veg-
etables nutrient dense, but also great
sources of fi ber to keep you regular
• Don’t skimp on fl avour - replace salt
with herbs and spices
• Forgo heavy creams and butter for
low-fat milk and cheeses and non-
hydrogenated vegetable oils
• Lean cuts of meat, such as chicken
breast, pork loin are low in fat
• Fish, such as salmon or trout, offer
Omega-3 and healthy fats and are an
excellent source of protein
• Strive to drink eight glasses of water
a day to keep well hydrated during
dry winter months.
“Healthy eating combined with physi-
cal and mental exercise can mean the
difference between an independent mo-
bile senior and one who is dependent
on others,” says Huppée. “Living in a
retirement community such as Origin
Evergreen is hugely benefi cial for diet
and overall health and well-being. Not
only do you have many amenities, the
Swing fi tness programs, Mental Fitness
programs and Social activities, but also
a dedicated team of food and nutrition
specialists that work together to assist
in the development of the nutritionally
sound gourmet menus for the communi-
ty’s Harvest Dining Room.”

green’s amenities and Harvest Dining
Room are available online at www.orig-

New police station
and two EMS stations
planned for this year
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Regional Chairman
Roger Anderson’s biggest worry for
2009 is something that’s dominated
headlines throughout 2008.
“It’s got to be the auto sector,” he
says.
Durham has already seen the
fall-out from an ailing auto indus-
try with the announced closure of
the General Motors truck plant and
layoffs at many of the region’s feed-
er plants.
And the fate of Durham’s auto in-
dustry doesn’t rest in local hands.
“The problem with the auto sec-
tor is it’s controlled by the United
States, it’s controlled out of Michi-
gan,” says Mr. Anderson, who adds
he’d hate to see things go sour after
all the government investment in
the industry. “If the auto sector col-
lapsed, you just can’t visualize how
bad it would be. It would be dev-
astating for everyone in the prov-
ince.”
Beyond the auto sector, the Re-
gion will do what it can to deal
with tough economic times. So far,
Council has agreed to accelerate
budgeted infrastructure projects
to create local economic stimu-
lus. And the Regional chairman is
calling for further investment from
upper-tier governments in infra-
structure such as roads, bridges,
social housing, transit and more to
create further work in Durham.
Another area for concern is ris-
ing welfare and unemployment
rates. The budget guidelines for
next year allow for an increasing
Ontario Works case load, and the
Region has been lobbying the fed-
eral government for Employment
Insurance relief.
Bright spots next year include the
continuing growth and success of
Durham College and the University
of Ontario Institute of Technology
and employment spinoff generated
by the two institutions. Mr. Ander-
son says the Region should con-
tinue to market itself to energy and
research companies.
As well, the Province continuing
to buy property along the proposed
407 extension into Durham is a
positive sign.
“The 407 will be huge. Lots of
jobs, lots of construction and they’re
very close to being approved,” he
says.
Other positive developments in-
clude GO Transit expansion and
work by Durham Region Transit on
Hwy. 2 bus rapid transit. Mr. An-
derson is hoping work on the pre-
viously announced train line from
Toronto through Peterborough will
begin next year.
As well, Durham and York are
set to finish the environmental as-
sessment (EA) for its energy-from-
waste plant in late Spring. Once
the EA is complete, it will go to the
Province for review and ultimately
approval.
Durham is also planning on
building a new police station and
two new EMS stations in 2009.
“Hopefully Durham will see a lot
of activity,” Mr. Anderson says.

Ajax
Attack
honours
former
player’s
memory
Port Perry resident
played for junior ‘A’
team during
2005-06 season
AJAX — Although Don Sander-
son played for the Ajax Attack for
only a short while three years ago,
his former coach with the team
remembers him well.
“He was a great kid,” said Attack
head coach Carey Durant of Sand-
erson, 21, who died on Jan. 2 of
head injuries suffered three weeks
earlier following a fight in Brant-
ford while playing with the Whitby
Dunlops senior hockey team. “His
father was always at the rink and
he was very supportive.”
Although Durant and Attack
GM John Tugnutt were unable
to attend Sanderson’s funeral in
Port Perry on
Monday, Du-
rant noted a
contingent of
players from
that 2005-06
Attack team
attended to
pay their re-
spects.
And, in the
aftermath of
Sanderson’s
death, the Attack has honoured his
memory in several ways. All Attack
players will be wearing stickers on
the back of their helmets bearing
Sanderson’s number ‘40’ he wore
with the Dunlops.
The team and its fans also ob-
served a minute’s silence in Sand-
erson’s memory at the Attack’s last
home game at the Ajax Commu-
nity Centre last Sunday afternoon.
The team has also found Sand-
erson’s old number ‘3’ jersey he
wore while playing 10 games with
the Attack during the 2005/06 sea-
son. That sweater will be framed
and put in a trophy case at the Ajax
Community Centre.
Don Sanderson
Late defenceman’s
jersey will be retired
at game on Jan. 17

PORT PERRY — Don Sander-
son will forever be remembered
by the Whitby Dunlops.
The 21-year-old defenceman,
who died last week after spend-
ing three weeks in a coma due to
a head injury sustained during a
fight in a game against the Brant-
ford Blast on Dec. 12, will have
his No. 40 jersey retired by the
Dunlops before their next game
on Jan. 17.
“As far as the tribute is con-
cerned we want to raise the
sweater,” Dunlops president Steve
Cardwell said Tuesday. “We want
to retire his sweater and raise it
(to the rafters) on the 17th.”
As they have since Sander-
son first suffered his injury, the
team will also be sporting the
No. 40 stickers on their helmets,
the same ones that many were
wearing during Sanderson’s fu-
neral service Monday at Immacu-
late Conception Church in Port
Perry.
In addition, a commemorative
jersey patch will be added to the
Dunlops’ sweaters in time for the
next game.
“There is a jersey patch, num-
ber 40 with D.S. on it for Don
Sanderson (and it) will be on the
uniforms at our home game on
the 17th,” said Cardwell. “That
patch will remain on the sweaters
for as long as there is a Whitby
Dunlops team.”
Cardwell said members of the
organization were going to meet
after Tuesday night’s practice to
discuss other elements that could
be included during the night to
honour Sanderson. Some of the
details already worked out include
having the Belleville Bearcats girls
double-A team that Don helped
his father Mike coach on hand,
along with several players from
the Whitby Minor Hockey Asso-
ciation. A couple of poems sent to
the club while Sanderson was in a
three-week coma will also be read
that night and a kids’ choir will be
at the rink to sing a few songs.
The ceremony will be held at
6:30 p.m., delaying the start of
that night’s game against Brant-
ford and will last 20 minutes or so,
according to Cardwell.
At the Monday funeral, hun-
dreds of people packed into the
church, leaving standing room
only, to pay their respects to Sand-
erson, who was remembered as a
great son, friend and teammate.
The Dunlops filled a handful of
rows with players past and pres-
ent sporting their red, yellow and
black sweaters. The Belleville girls
team also attended the service, all
wearing their jerseys.
After the service, Don’s father
Mike and mother Dahna stood
outside of the church, hands
locked, and conveyed an emo-
tional heart-felt message to par-
ents everywhere in the wake of
losing their son, who was a huge
Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas
Cowboys fan.
“Donald was my best friend,”
commented his father Mike. “He
was my hero and we shared every
moment of every day together
in one way or another. Again, as
parents we’ve always said every-
body hug your children, let your
children hug you and always have
time to spend with them.”
Mike Sanderson will be on
hand for the night honouring his
son, but Cardwell couldn’t say
for sure if Dahna would be, while
the Dunlops organization will be
stationed in the lobby of Iroquois
Park accepting donations to the
Sanderson Foundation Fund.

Juniors down Dixie
before coming up short
against Bowmanville
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — If there’s hope
of the Pickering Panthers snag-
ging the eighth and final playoff
spot, they’ll have to play more
like they did this past weekend.
The Panthers earned a two-
game split in its first Ontario
Junior Hockey League action
following the Christmas break,
falling behind early and then
battling back only to lose 4-3 to
the Bowmanville Eagles in Bow-
manville on Sunday night. This
followed a 7-4 victory over the
Dixie Beehives at the Pickering
Recreation Complex on Friday
evening.
The Panthers were within
a whisker of tying the contest
and sending Sunday’s game
into overtime after an open-net
opportunity in the midst of a
goal-mouth scramble. At the last
possible second, a Bowmanville
defenceman made a stab at the
loose puck and knocked it away.
“We had the opportunity to tie
it, but they made a really good
defensive play to keep it out,”
said Panthers head coach Bill
Brady.
Although the two points earned
on the weekend served to keep
the Panthers three points behind
the Whitby Fury, who currently
hold the eighth and last post-
season slot in the Ruddock Divi-
sion, the markedly better efforts
last weekend should put them
in good stead in the stretch run
toward the playoffs.
“Yes, by all means, we can’t ac-
cept anything
less than the
way they’re
playing right
now,” Brady
said, while
comment-
ing on what
it will take
to earn the
final playoff
spot in the
division.
And the Panthers will need
more of the scoring punch pro-
vided by forward Kyle Ramsay,
who came over to Pickering after
a trade with Peterborough on
Oct. 31. Ramsay netted his sec-
ond hat trick of the weekend in
providing all the offence against
Bowmanville on Sunday and,
against Dixie, scored a natural
hat trick and added an assist.
“He’s been very good the last
couple of games,” said Brady of
Ramsay. “He’s capitalizing on his
chances and we hope that he
can continue to do that. He had
a reputation as a scorer coming
in here and, although he’s had
his ups and downs, he was sick
for a while, he’s played two really
good games back to back now.”
Although the Panthers (8-22, 2
OT wins, 2 OT losses, 1 shootout
loss) are in the Ruddock Division
cellar, they’re only three points
behind eighth-place Whitby with
a game in
hand. Being
so close to
a playoff
spot, Brady
expects the
team will be
buyers and
not sellers at
the league’s
Jan. 10 trade
deadline.
General man-
ager Gary Watters “is going to try
to do what he can to improve the
hockey club,” Brady said. “If he
has the opportunity to make the
team better, he’s going to look at
it and move forward.”
The Panthers have 14 games
remaining in the 2008-09 regu-
lar season, including a makeup
game with Port Hope yet to be
re-scheduled.
The Pickering Panthers juniors
host the Peterborough Liftlock
Stars on Friday at the complex at
7:30 p.m. before heading out to
Mississauga for a game against
the Chargers on Saturday at 8
p.m.
