All other Durham hospitals, including Ajax-Pickering, are taking similar precautions. BY CHRIS HALL chall@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- Tests have confirmed that three Port Perry residents contracted a mild case of the swine flu while in Mexico, says Durham MPP John O’Toole. Officials with Lakeridge Health Corporation and the Durham Region Health Department have also confirmed that three people have been stricken by the viral disease, but have refused to divulge further details, citing privacy concerns. Mr. O’Toole said late Tuesday afternoon he was informed by Ministry of Health officials around 1:45 p.m. that three people from Durham Region, all from Port Perry, had been infected with swine flu. The trio had all just returned from Mexico, said the Durham MPP. He said all were treated for a mild strain of the virus, but did not say which hospital site they vis- ited.

The report card, released April 19, compares and rates a school’s results against others with similar student characteristics. This year’s shows that in Durham, the high school with the lowest and highest parent income averages, were not the top or bottom achievers. “Just because a student comes from a family with a below-aver- age income does not automatically mean they will do poorly in school,” said Peter Cowley, the Fraser Insti- tute’s director of school performance studies. Brock High School in Canning- ton had the lowest parents’ average income with $37,300, and received a rating of 6.1. J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax ranked the low- est this year with a score of 4 and an average parents’ income of $81,200. The second lowest was G.L. Rob- erts Collegiate Vocational Institute in Oshawa with 4.2 and $42,400, fol- lowed by Eastdale Collegiate Voca- tional Institute in Oshawa with 4.4 and $79,300. The highest rating schools include Cartwright in Blackstock with 9 and a parents’ average income of $87,500; Sinclair in Whitby with 8.3 and $100,600; and Anderson with 8 and $96,100. Donald A. Wilson Secondary School in Whitby had the high- est parents’ average income with $103,000 and a rating of 6.4. The ratings are out of 10 and based on six indicators, derived from liter- acy and mathematics tests admin- istered by the Province’s Education Quality and Account- ability Office. “Our report card allows parents to quickly and eas- ily determine if their child’s school is improving or regress- ing academically. It gives parents infor- mation they can use in discussions with teachers and prin- cipals,” Mr. Cowley said. This year’s report card uses par- ents’ average employment income as its socioeconomic indicator. It’s intended to identify schools that are roughly similar to each other in terms of students’ home back- ground so their results can be com- pared. Effective schools produce good results regardless of the stu- dent’s family background, says the report. The average parental income for all Ontario secondary schools included in the report is $73,500. For most schools, the report includes the percentage of students with an identified special need to help identify schools with similar student body characteristics. It gives parents information they can use in discussions with teachers and principals.

Great In-Store Specials Empty house frequently vandalized, says neighbour BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Police say at least one shot was fired at an officer in north Pickering Monday night after police responded to a call at an empty house near Claremont. Neighbour Dennis Dey said the house has been empty for about two years and he called 911 at around 10 p.m. when he saw a car drive behind the house, located at 3050 8th Concession Road, just west of Balsam Road in north Pickering. "The place has been broken into so many times," said Mr. Dey. He saw a single officer arrive in a police cruiser within five to 10 minutes of the call and the officer shone a spotlight on the house. Almost immediately, Mr. Dey heard a gunshot. "I told the 911 operator 'I just heard a gunshot', then all the cruisers started com- ing." Mr. Dey said there were perhaps 10 police cars at the scene and although he couldn't see anything, he could hear the police shouting orders. He also said he heard voices from the house. "I'm sure I heard one of them say 'I could shoot an officer'," said the neighbour. Durham police say a 22-year-old officer answered the call. He noticed a male near the house point a long gun in his direction and saw the muzzle flash. Police say the officer identified himself and the shoot- er surrendered. The shot did not strike the officer or his cruiser and no one was injured. Three other men were arrested after more officers arrived. Police seized three long guns and a handgun. On Tuesday, police were seeking a search warrant for a second handgun. The men said they were protecting the house from vandals, according to police. Rajinder Dhillon, 47, of Emperor Drive in Brampton, Yadwinder Sahota, 42, of Lucio Court in Brampton, Hardawar Singh, 32, of Windhill Crescent in North York, and a 15 year-old male from Brampton are all charged with weapons possession for dan- gerous purposes, careless use of a firearm and unauthorized use of a firearm. The 15- year-old is also charged with aggravated assault. The home is located in a rural area with few neighbours. The end of the long drive- way is dotted with ‘no trespassing’ signs and some of the windows are boarded up. At least two broken windows were appar- ent Tuesday morning. Mr. Dey said the inside of the house is a mess and has been broken into repeated- ly. He's seen graffiti reading ‘this house is mine' or 'this place is mine'. Mr. Dey said he's boarded up the back window himself in the past. "All the walls are smashed and kicked in, it's just been continually vandalized," he said. Cars come by the house frequently, though that could be because it was for sale. Mr. Dey said he felt something wasn't right when the car drove behind the house. On Tuesday, a police cruiser and a tow truck were at the scene, though there didn't seem to be much activity at the house.

Woman on life support in Mexico transported to Peterborough hospital KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering woman’s daugh- ter, who was stuck in Mexico for a week on life support, is finally home. “We want to have any time that she has left. Whether it be only one hour, we want her home,” said Pauline George, Victoria George-Pazzano’s mother, from her Pickering home. The 29-year-old Toronto resi- dent suffered a severe asthma attack at a resort outside Can- cun while vacationing just over a week ago and had been at Hos- piten Cancun in Mexico on life support until Tuesday, says her husband, Dylan Pazzano. Ms. George-Pazz- ano had gone to Mexico on April 13 with her husband and their five-year-old son Isaac. Their son was taken back to Canada by Ms. George-Pazzano’s sister earlier this week. After a week-long wait for an Ontario hos- pital bed, Ms. George-Pazzano arrived in Toronto in an air ambulance a little before 11 a.m. Tuesday and was taken to the Peterbor- ough Regional Health Centre. She is still in a critical condition and on life support, said a family member earlier today. Before the transfer, Ms. George-Pazzano’s family feared she wasn’t being admitted into an Ontario hospital due to the recent swine flu outbreak in Mexico. “There appears to be a block, and we strongly feel that it’s related to the outbreak (of swine flu), and through association they don’t want to bring her home,” Ms. George said. But the family says she doesn’t have the illness. “Attending physicians in Mexico have confirmed on more than one occasion that her illness has abso- lutely nothing to do with the cur- rent flu outbreak,” her sister, Kath- erine George, wrote on the wall of the Facebook group Bring Victo- ria Home. “They assured us, that they have relayed this informa- tion to doctors in Toronto and sur- rounding areas.” A Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care spokesman said no orders have been given to restrict the admission of people from Mexico into Ontario hospitals. “We’re more than ready, and have been since 2003 with SARS,” Andrew Morrison said. The couple’s travel insurance provider, RBC, had no trouble finding an air ambu- lance, but finding a bed in an intensive care unit in the GTA was difficult. But late Mon- day night, Peterborough Regional Health Centre confirmed that the hospital had an ICU bed open for Ms. George-Pazzano and RBC arranged a flight to take her there. Jon- athan Bennett, the health centre’s director of communications, said the request for an ICU bed was received Monday. The hospital also had to find a physician willing to accept the patient, which he says is common prac- tice in such a situation. The 400-bed hospital has 20 ICU beds and has received similar requests in the past. -- With files from Torstar news services HEALTH CARE Pickering woman’s sick daughter comes home We want to have any time that she has left. Whether it be only one hour, we want her home. Pauline George VICTORIA GEORGE-PAZZANO flu-like symptoms on Friday, April 24. Those patients received care and were sent home. Samples were taken from the trio and forwarded to a federal laboratory in Winni- peg for testing, which subsequently came up positive for swine flu. “I’m quite proud of the fact we had a good health-care provider who felt the need to do the test after seeing the patients,” said Mr. Empey. Lakeridge’s CEO added on Tuesday that “no people are actively being treated at Lak- eridge” for swine flu. “The safety of our patients, visitors, vol- unteers, staff and physicians is paramount,” he stressed in a release. “I have every confi- dence in our health-care team, which has the knowledge, skills, ability and experience to deal with infectious diseases including swine flu.” Mr. Empey noted that the cases are now a public health matter, turned over to the Dur- ham Region Health Department. For its part, the health department also said on Tuesday it had received verbal confirma- tion of three cases of the viral disease in Dur- ham Region. “Fortunately, all three cases (patients) are experiencing mild symptoms of the disease and have not been hospitalized. There has also been no other transmission from these cases and there will be no quarantine of con- tacts of the cases,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Dur- ham’s medical officer of health. Glendene Collins, a spokeswoman for the regional health department, confirmed the three cases were “travel related. They had travelled to Mexico. “We have been investigating and we’ll con- tinue to monitor the situation,” Ms. Collins said, “There’s been no transmission and no quarantine of their contacts.” Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said there have been 13 confirmed cases in Canada as of Tuesday afternoon. The federal government has also issued “a travel warning against all non-essential travel to Mexico,” Ms. Aglukkaq stated. Air Transat has announced it has halted all flights to Mexico. The health department is urging anyone who has recently travelled to any of the affect- ed areas linked to the swine flu outbreak who may be experiencing influenza-like illness to contact their health-care professional and be sure to mention their recent travel. Individuals experiencing symptoms may also call TeleHealth Ontario at 1-866-797- 0000. The health department is also urging peo- ple to cover their mouth when they sneeze or cough and to wash hands frequently. Lakeridge Health says that, as a standard practice, it screens patients with respira- tory symptoms and is working closely with provincial and regional public health offi- cials by screening patients who have recently been to Mexico. Consistent with the direction received, hospital staff are also wearing per- sonal protection when treating patients with flu-like symptoms. Mr. O’Toole also noted that he “congratu- lates and commend the front-line health- care workers who are professionally trained to deal with these things. After SARS, we’re better prepared to deal with this... and I hope and trust these people will recover and have no further problems.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 20095 P FREE SOLAR BLANKET FREE WINTER COVER ORDER NOW FOR EARLY INSTALL SIMPLICITY POOL KIT Limit 2 per customer.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions taxpayer bills Legacy costs for government workers need to be revealed To the editor: A friend of mine recently retired from a government position; not only is she get- ting her pension but I was told she got 26 weeks of severance pay. I queried this as I thought severance was only paid to laid-off workers and then I thought it could be sick pay that was not taken throughout her employ but, appar- ently, she explained, each government employee, whether a floor washer, secre- tary, department head etc., is entitled, on retirement, to a week’s salary for each year of employment up to a maximum of 26 weeks. I ask you, is this really our tax dollars at work? Certainly seems just cause for total dec- laration of legacy costs for our regional, municipal, and provincial employees. Sue Anstey Ajax COMPENSATION Government to blame for pension issue, not workers To the editor: Re: Not fair for taxpayers to bail out pen- sioners, Randy Gostlin letter, April 17. Am I to understand that because you don’t get a pension where you work nobody else should? I’m sure you would not be saying that if you were a GM employee/retiree. You made that choice to work for a com- pany that does not offer a pension so don’t sit on your high horse saying too bad just because of your situation. These people were told they would be looked after when they retire. What are you going to tell a 75-year-old person who relies on this money? Do you want to see Oshawa turn into Flint, MI, because that’s what would hap- pen. Houses would be boarded up, businesses close, crime rate up and there would be a demand for homeless shelters. And if you don’t think I’m being realistic then get your head out the of the sand! Ontario said it had a pension protection plan in place and if it doesn’t have enough money, then that’s the government’s prob- lem. Vent your frustration with the govern- ment, not the workers. Rosemary MacMillan Oshawa RESPONSIBILITY Government and corporations should cover pension shortfall To the editor: To those who don’t think government should repair pension benefit shortfalls consider this. Around 1992, big corporations like Gen- eral Motors and Stelco applied to pension regulators to “dip into” the corporate funds, rationale being because it was not employ- ee funded, it was a corporate asset and they should be able to access the funds. After much legal wrangling including with the CAW, the government of the day decided these corporations couldn’t col- lapse and opened the lid to Pandora’s box. The only proviso was that the companies were to replenish the funds over time with interest. That didn’t happen. The government chose not to rock the boat. Fast forward to today. Because they totally abrogated their responsibility to enforce the payback clause, I respectfully submit the responsi- bility falls squarely on the government and the corporations to cover the shortfall. Robert Page Clarington First-aid classroom training helps save lives Sometimes the lessons you learn in school can literally save a life. Students Kaitlyn Labow and Teresa Giusti learned that the hard way when the Grade 10 pupils from All Saints Catholic Second- ary School in Whitby were on a field trip in New York City. The teenagers had just left the Metropoli- tan Museum of Art in New York City near Central Park when they hit a nearby hot dog cart for a bite to eat. Teresa was chew- ing on a wiener when trouble struck. The young woman couldn’t breathe and started gagging. Kaitlyn asked her friend if she was going to be sick, Teresa shook her head no, mouthed to Kaitlyn, ‘I’m chok- ing,’ and then pointed to her back. Kaitlyn, after asking for help and realizing none was immediately forthcoming, then remem- bered her school-taught first-aid training and employed the Heimlich manoeuvre. She wrapped her arms around Teresa and pulled up on her stomach and the piece of hot dog popped out of her mouth. The quick actions saved the day and like- ly saved Teresa’s life. Kaitlyn remembers the training at the time. “I always thought in health class when we were practising it, this is a joke, I’m never going to have to give anyone the Heim- lich.” She now thinks differently. “Good thing we practised it.” Good thing indeed. Because you just never know. Such training was the difference in Janu- ary at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in Oshawa when Kayla Knowles choked on a carrot. Fellow Grade 9 student Nadine Gharzeddine used the mandatory CPR training she had learned just two days earlier and applied the Heim- lich Manoeuvre to Kayla to save her life. The training learned in high school could come in handy the same day you receive it, the next day or 40 years later. It’s quite literally lifelong learning that can save a life. The proof for Kaitlyn Labow and Tere- sa Giusti was right there just as it was for Kayla Knowles and Nadine Gharzeddine but it could have happened anywhere and anytime. The need for serious first-aid training at the high school level for all students is practical and essential. It provides a proper grounding for all young adults in our soci- ety to be prepared for any basic emergen- cy that comes up. No course can be truly comprehensive but as long as straightfor- ward and necessary knowledge is passed along, unnecessary tragedies can be avoid- ed. It pays to pay attention in class. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com WE THINK... e-mail responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 20096 P Laid-off Lear employee applies for 20 to 50 jobs each day BY STEFANIE SWINSON sswinson@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- With more news of General Motors’ decline in auto sales, it’s not just GM workers feeling the pain of the reces- sion. Employees at GM feeder plants like Lear have had to reduce manpower as the number of new vehicle orders contin- ue to plummet. Jamie Parson, 29, was just one of about 100 workers laid off from Lear’s Whitby factory in Dec. 2007. “Its really tough,” said Mr. Parson as he made his daily stop at Workers in Motion, an employment action centre set up at the Midtown Mall in Oshawa for laid-off Lear employees. He makes use of the computers at the centre, applying for 20 to 50 jobs a day. “It just depends on the day ... could be more, could be less,” said Mr. Parson. “Things are a lot different since the last time I looked for a job.” Mr. Parson began working for Lear at age 20 and said, at that time, applying for a job meant going door to door, handing in a resume personally. “It’s all done electronically now,” he said. “It gets pretty frustrating.” Mr. Parson has had one interview in the past year for a job he called “not even financially worth it.” The job was on the other side of Toron- to and it paid significantly less than the former Lear employee was used to. Mr. Parson’s employment insurance (EI) dried up in July and since then he’s been living off the savings from selling his home, but that is more or less gone. “I’m just kind of floating by with the help of friends, family, and my girlfriend.” He now lives in an Oshawa apartment with his girlfriend. “I’ve become a Mrs. Doubtfire of sorts,” he joked, referring to a 1990s comedy where Robin Williams’s character trans- forms himself into a female nanny. “I do a lot of the cooking and clean- ing ... but that’s just until I find work,” he noted. Although he hasn’t found work yet, Mr. Parson has been improving his skills through different training opportuni- ties. An unpaid apprenticeship with CAW local 183 in Cobourg made Mr. Parson thankful for being laid off. “It made me realize I had to figure out what I wanted to do in life,” he said. His career goal is to become a crane operator. “I’ve never operated one before,” he said. “But when I was in Cobourg doing sewer and water main training, I used big machinery.” He’s hoping by working in the construc- tion industry he can realize that goal, but he said even construction jobs are few and far between. “With GM letting go all those people and shutting down plants, you know all the spin-off jobs that are created, all the construction, all the infrastructure and that, there’s no new building going on.” Still, Mr. Parson is determined. Workers in Motion co-ordinator, Con- nie Snelgrove, called Mr. Parson one of the best in the bunch. “He’s always so optimistic,” said Ms. Snelgrove. “I know someone will want him for their job.” Mr. Parson said looking on the bright side of life is what keeps him moving ahead on the job hunt. “I never knew what I wanted to be growing up,” said the McLaughlin Colle- giate graduate. “Now I know. I just need the opportunity.” WATCH the video story READ the rest of the series newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 20097 AP EMPLOYMENT Finding work a full-time job itself MICHELLE GAUDET / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Jamie Parson searches online every day to find a job.

Jamie Parson newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 20098 P The Regional Municipality of York NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION FORUM SOUTHEAST COLLECTOR TRUNK SEWER INDIVIDUAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Regarding the Proposed Odour Control Management Strategy The Regional Municipality of York (York Region) will be holding a Public Information Forum (PIF) at the following location to allow interested persons to comment on the proposed odour control management strategy for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer Individual Environmental Assessment (IEA): In November 2008, the Regional Municipalities of York and Durham submitted the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer IEA Report to address the additional sanitary sewer fl ows projected from future growth required under the Provincial Places to Grow Act. As part of this IEA, an Odour Control Strategy was developed, which included construction of an Odour Control Facility (OCF) at Altona Road. In response to Durham Council’s resolution from March 11, 2009 to relocate the OCF, York Region is engaging and consulting further with Durham residents that live within the project study area on measures to minimize odour along the proposed alignment of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer. At the upcoming Public Information Forum, York Region will be presenting information on the assessment of alternative OCF sites, the identifi cation of recommended sites, and additional mitigation measures proposed for the recommended sites. Your participation is an important part of the process and we welcome your input. York Region is committed to listening to and addressing residents’ concerns and fi nding an odour management solution that balances measures to protect the natural environment with the needs of the community. We encourage you to attend the PIF to review the material available and provide any comment or information that you have with regard to the project.

Durham major crime detectives, backed up by tactical support officers, arrested the suspect late Wednesday night at a Faylee Crescent residence, also charging two others found in the house with drug offences. The arrest was the result of an investigation launched April 1, when a man was seriously wound- ed in a home on Fieldlight Boulevard, in the Liver- pool Road-Finch Avenue area. Nearby schools were locked down as police sought suspects in the lunch- time shooting, but no arrests were made at the time. The 24-year-old victim, who police said was tar- geted in a deliberate attack, has recovered, police added. Christopher Morgan, 24, of Faylee Crescent in Pickering, is charged with aggravated assault, rob- bery, forcible confinement and drug and weapons offences. Two others found in the residence -- Jermaine Morgan, 24, of Faylee Crescent, and 23-year-old Abraham Burton, of Dovedale Drive in Whitby -- were arrested on drug charges.

Paterson City Clerk Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer Improving the Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance was identifi ed as a priority project in the City of Pickering’s 5 Year Implementation Plan for the Pickering Waterfront and Frenchman’s Bay. In 2007, the Province of Ontario provided the City with a grant to complete an Environmental Assessment, Work Plan and Financing Strategy to improve the harbour entrance. On May 20, 2008, City of Pickering Council authorized Toronto and Region Conservation to assume a leadership role in the partnership with the City of Pickering to undertake this work. The project will result in the creation of a safe harbour entrance that supports the marine functions of the bay, while preserving or enhancing the ecological conditions. The project will also consider opportunities to achieve a wide range of objectives including improved public use and recreation, environmental sustainability, enhanced tourism and commercial linkages. The project is proceeding as a Schedule C undertaking in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, October 2000, as amended in 2007. This notice is to advise that a Public Information Centre will be held on Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at the City of Pickering Civic Complex located at One The Esplanade in Pickering.

Whitby teen’s a lifesaver during choking incident BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- As teenager Kaitlyn Labow’s friend choked on a hotdog in New York, no one stopped to help. It’s a good thing Kaitlyn learned the Heimlich maneuver in health class the year before -- it saved her friend’s life. “I always thought in health class when we were practising it, this is a joke, I’m never going to have to give anyone the Heimlich,” said Kaitlyn, a Grade 10 All Saints Catholic Secondary School student in Whitby. “Good thing we practised it.” Kaitlyn and her friend, Teresa Giusti, were on a school trip to New York recent- ly when the emergency situation struck. After coming out of the Metropolitan Museum of Art near Central Park, their group of friends hit up a hotdog cart for something to eat. Teresa took a bite and started gagging. “I thought she was puking because she didn’t like the mustard,” Kaitlyn said. She asked if she was going to be sick, but Teresa shook her head to indicate no. Then Kaitlyn realized Teresa wasn’t mak- ing any noises, and what she learned in health class the year before came back to her -- no noise means no air is passing through. “She mouthed to me ‘I’m choking’,” Kait- lyn said. “Then I asked, ‘Are you choking?’ And she nodded yes.” Teresa then bent over and pointed to her back -- she had learned the Heimlich maneuver too and was signalling for Kait- lyn to perform. “I started to give her the Heimlich and I started to yell, ‘Somebody help,’ and nobody was doing anything,” Kaitlyn said. They just walked past, some giving them weird looks as they did, she added. In a panic, Kaitlyn forgot some of the steps involved in the technique, but remem- bered to wrap her arms around her friend and make a j motion, pushing her hand into friend’s stomach, and it worked. “I guess it shot out of her throat,” Kaitlyn said. Afterwards, Teresa was in shock and their group went to sit down in Central Park. “Every once in awhile she’d turn to me and say, ‘You saved my life,’” Kaitlyn said. “At first I really didn’t think much of it, I didn’t think I saved her life. It makes me really happy I was there to do it and stuff.” The experience taught Kaitlyn the importance of friends and learning emer- gency procedures. Some of her friends from other high schools say they don’t learn CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. “I think it should be mandatory,” she said. Someone could choke anywhere, even in the cafeteria, she added.

The pathway from Rotary Park west to the Duffins Bridge, part of the Waterfront Trail, will be closed for at least another week due to severe water damage. Town Staff and representatives from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will work together to repair the damage as fast as possible. High water levels and the area being a ‘dynamic beach’, which means weather shapes the beach and surroundings, is the rea- son behind the damage. Pedes- trians will not be able to use the blocked-off areas until further notice. WATER LEVELS Ajax Rotary Park path washed out Custody situations affect new policy BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The public school board is making a few changes to student transporta- tion, following recommendations from an ad hoc committee. The changes affect joint custody situations, notification for significant transportation changes, ride time reports, childcare busing considerations and family situations where three elementary kids from a household go to three separate schools. “The review was maybe a little overdue and I feel very satisfied no stone was left unturned,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau, adding the changes help serve families better. “It was a very valuable experience,” said Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin, who recom- mended the creation of the transportation ad hoc committee in October. “It became very clear to me that transportation and dealing with the yellow plague is a real issue across the region.” For joint legal custody situations, a form will be designed to identify the principal res- idence of a student and indicate the alter- native address for transportation. It will be signed by both parents and is intended to ensure they’re in agreement to the pick-up and drop-off locations for their child, said the report presented to the Durham District School Board April 20. Through the recommendations, the board also gets a report in November and March showing how many students are on the buses for 55 minutes or longer. A chart provided to the ad hoc committee shows 306 students ride the bus for more than 60 minutes and 109 for 58 to 60 minutes. Trustees and parents will be notified about significant changes to bus routes or stops, route cancellation, and other things prior to the change. A family clause was also introduced for those with three or more kids attending three or more elementary schools. An alter- nate “home school” can be designated by the planning department for eligible families. The request must be made by the family to the superintendent of education and trans- portation. Such an issue could impact a fam- ily with children in gifted, French immersion or regular programs. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 2009* Bouclair Ajax/Pick. * Darien Lake Ajax/Pick. * Home Depot Ajax/Pick. * Lowes Ajax * Mark’s Work Wearhouse Ajax/Pick. * Michael Hill Ajax/Pick. * National Sports Ajax/Pick. * News Advertiser Ajax/Pick. * Ontario Colleges Ajax/Pick. * People’s Jewellers Ajax/Pick. * Real Estate Ajax/Pick. * Rona Ajax/Pick. * Sheila Willis Pickering * Sport Check Ajax/Pick. * Staples Ajax/Pick. * Wheels Ajax/Pick.

Unfor- tunately, study skills are rarely taught in school; therefore most students don’t know how to effectively utilize their learning or study time. Studying at home is only one part of a good study routine. The best study skills begin long before opening a bookbag at home—they start in the classroom. Ac- tive learning in the classroom is the best- known way to help a student really under- stand the material. When a student really understands the material, then studying and review become more effective and much less stressful. Active learning is not that complicated. Students may already be using some active learning skills in the classroom without knowing it. Active learning simply means paying attention to the teacher, taking good notes, and asking questions. Being actively engaged in the learning process – at school and at home. Asking questions is one of the best ways to help assimilate information ﬁ rmly into the brain. A student should ask ques- tions both of himself: · Do I understand this? · What facts do I already know that sup- port this? · How do I feel about this lesson? · Does this lesson remind me of anything that I’ve learned in other classes? and of the teacher: · Can you give more examples? · How does this relate to other lessons? · Will you explain this part to me again? Active learning in the classroom is just one part (a big part, mind you) of develop- ing comprehensive study skills. The second part is review at home, which for many stu- dents can be stressful and confusing. Stu- dents often don’t know what to do when they get home and open up their books. This is not surprising, as study skills are not part of the average curriculum. For most students, studying is little more than re-reading their notes or text- books. What else can they do to get the most out of study time so they study better, not longer? Here are a few active studying tips to help: · Get organized - plan out a study schedule. · Review with a pen and paper - writ- ing makes study time active rather than passive. · Ask questions - about material that you ﬁ nd confusing. · Put it in your own words - rather than trying to commit facts to memory, ex- plaining or paraphrasing will help you to really understand. · Be efﬁ cient - identify what you do know, study what you don’t. · Make jot notes - make notes at the end of every class of key points to review. · Test yourself - Test your memory and understanding by giving yourself mini-quizzes: actively read, cover, re- cite and check. Think of the opportunity for greater understanding and success in school if our students develop and practice more active learning skills early and throughout their learning careers!

Ms. Kirk, daughter of Stanley Lovell, said she felt very special when her father would open up his King Street pharmacy on a Sunday just so she and her siblings, Arthur and Linda, could pick out a chocolate bar. She said she felt illicit taking the candy because she always wondered who paid for it, not understanding that her dad would put some cash in the register the next day. Now Ms. Kirk, once the little girl who savored her Sunday chocolate or candy, knows a lot more about how the business operates because for the past decade she and her brother Arthur have run it. The family-owned business has been run so well that it has stood the test of time. Despite competition with major chain drugstores, times of economic turbulence and count- less changes in the pharmaceutical industry, Lovell Drugs has been a fixture in the commu- nity for 100 years. Edwin A. Lovell, Arthur and Diana’s grand- father, was the first in the family to work in the pharmacy business. He was a pharmacist and optometrist who started working for the Bowmanville phar- macy Jury and Gregory after his graduation. He became a full partner of the store in 1909 and the store’s name was changed to Jury and Lovell. In 1911, Mr. Lovell became a partner in the Oshawa store and other locations fol- lowed. In the 1940s, his sons Everett and Stanley joined the operation. Stanley became the pres- ident when his older brother died in 1971. Today there are Lovell Drugs locations in Kingston, Cornwall, Whitby and Oshawa. “The people who came before us did a very good job,” Arthur Lovell said. Diana and Arthur remember their father Stanley’s work with the company as that of a great business man and an incredible human- itarian. “He was very well respected,” Arthur Lovell said. “He was very good at business and fig- ures, so people sought out his assistance. He was an asset to anything he was a part of.” “He raised us to know to give back to the community,” Ms. Kirk said. Stanley Lovell, now 82 and retired, was a Rotary club president, a national vice-presi- dent of the Boy Scouts, past chairman of the Oshawa Hospital Board and a founding mem- ber of the Durham College board. A great legacy is just one part of what makes the company strong. And 10 decades of suc- cess is not a fluke. The inventory is always paid for, customer service is a priority and loyal customers keep coming back because of it, Arthur Lovell said. Long-term employees like Dane Wallace, who has been with Lovell Drugs for 30 years, are a complement to the company, Ms. Kirk said. Mr. Wallace, a pharmacist, said he’s stayed so long because the people are nice and it’s a good working atmosphere. Mr. Wallace describes Stanley Lovell as a “fine gentleman and a shrewd business man.” For Arthur, it’s a matter of working hard, just like his father. “It we can do half the job he did, we are doing well,” he said. JASON LIEBREGTS/METROLAND OSHAWA -- Arthur Lovell and Diana Kirk, who run Lovell Drugs, with some artifacts of the originally-named Jury and Lovell store. The third-generation-run company is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The people who came before us did a very good job. Arthur Lovell Running a small business during a downturn CANADA -- Canadian small businesses are having to take some tough steps to get through difficult eco- nomic times. A recent survey found that one in four Canadian small business owners have stopped taking a personal salary and another quar- ter have invested personal funds in order to continue to support employees during the current economic down- turn. But at the same time, 70 per cent say they are con- fident that their business sit- uation will improve over the next six months. The results are from a poll done by Angus Reid Strat- egies conducted on behalf of American Express Small Business Services. Steps small business own- ers are taking to ride out the recession: 38 % • Have invoked a hiring freeze 34 % • Have a salary freeze 25% • Stopped taking a personal sal- ary 26% • Are investing personal assets in the business Note: “While Canadian small busi- ness owners acknowledge and clearly feel the impact of today’s economy, it’s inspir- ing to see they have faith in their business and are will- ing to stand behind it through these hard times,” said How- ard Grosfield, VP and general manager, Small Business Ser- vices, American Express Can- ada and International.

OJHL re-aligns conferences, rules for 2009-10 season BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The details still need to be ironed out, but Whitby Fury GM Frank Rob- inson thinks recent changes within the Ontario Junior Hockey League could be for the better. The OJHL announced recently that the 36- team league would be moving to a two-con- ference system with 21 teams competing in what is being dubbed the younger confer- ence, while the 15 others will remain in the status quo conference. The younger conference will be governed like the Central pilot of a year ago, in which teams abide by stricter age and roster rules, putting the focus on developing younger players. “The Fury are very pleased to be part of the younger conference,” said Robinson. “We like some of the things instituted by the Cen- tral Division last year, like the mandatory play of 16 year olds which we have followed anyway, the decreased maximum (money) on trades ($2000 from $5000) and increased emphasis on the development of players.” Many of the details will be dealt with at a May 2 meeting, including issues surround- ing restrictions on the number of 19- and 20- year-old players each team can have. “We do think that we need to sit down to consider the maximum rules as right now we are going to be limited to five 20-year-old players and eight 19-year-old players with the 20-year-old limit going to four in 2010- 11,” Robinson said, who noted the intention of the rule will be to limit spending of money on overage players from the Ontario Hockey League. There is some concern that such rules might have a negative effect on the 19 and 20 year olds who have played several years in the league and seek scholarship opportuni- ties. In Pickering, Bill Brady, head coach of the Panthers, is hopeful that some new rivalries will be built, specifically among the four Dur- ham-based teams in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Bowmanville. “It’s going to be very competitive because you’re all basically competing for the same players,” said Brady. “It’s about the best pro- gram now and who can recruit the players to come play for them. The rivalries, for years to come, if the (conferences) stay (intact), should be exceptional.” Along with the four Durham teams, the conference includes Burlington, Hamil- ton, Orangeville, Streetsville, Dixie, North York, Newmarket, Toronto Jr. Canadiens, St. Michael’s, Cobourg, Lindsay, Markham, Stouffville, Wellington, Upper Canada, Seguin and Peterborough. Aurora, Collingwood, Couchiching, Hunts- ville, Kingston, Trenton, Villanova, Vaughan, Brampton, Buffalo, Georgetown, Milton, Mississauga, Oakville and Bramalea make up the other conference. At season’s end, the two champions will meet in a best-of-seven series, competing for a berth in the Dudley Hewitt Cup. Carey Durant, head coach of the Ajax Attack, couldn’t be reached for comment. Local teams agree change is for better VOLLEYBALL Time for summer beach volleyball PICKERING -- Solstice Sport, located behind the Pickering Recreation Com- plex, is now open for summer beach volleyball registrations.

GOLF Don Sanderson golf tournament DURHAM -- Don Sanderson would have turned 22 on July 14 of this year.

The first Don Sanderson Celebrity Cup golf tournament is slated for that day at Royal Ashburn Golf Club, and the 144 spots for the tournament have been filling up quickly.

The boys played well in the final game against the Ted Reeve Thunder, coming out and earning the win with a final score of 6–0. Throughout the tourna- ment, the team displayed the strong team spirit and deter- mination which had been the hallmark of their season. Displaying disciplined pass- ing and strong defensive play from all players, the team was able to generate great scoring opportunities with all forwards scoring goals during the tournament. Both goalies, Nicholas Elliott and Ethan O’Rourke, were on fire during the tournament which was full of surprises for the team. An example was the penalty shot award- ed to Scotty Ritchie which he capitalized on -- scoring with a great shot! Two players, Damian Dower and Shane Morgan, were called up for the tour- nament and they fit easily into the lineup and helped the team to maintain their momentum throughout the tournament. The Pickering Panthers Minor Atom A Team mem- bers are: Brett Brault, Bren- den Campbell, Keon Car- dle, Ryan Dunstan, Nicholas Elliott, Zachary Elliott, Bayley Gammon, Matthew Hazel- ton, Michael Jennings, Evan Kung, Benjamin Lake, Lucas Natale, Ethan O’Rourke, Tan- ner Rankine, Cole Reimer, Scotty Ritchie, Johnathan Spinelli.
