That’s the advice of Dr. Robert Kyle, Dur- ham Region’s medical officer of health, when it comes to swine flu. “Our message is don’t panic. We’re at the tail end of the seasonal flu season,” Dr. Kyle said. “The cases in Canada are few in num- ber and fairly mild in a clinical course.” As of Wednesday, there have been seven confirmed cases in Ontario, with four in Durham, three of which are in Port Perry. Dr. Kyle expects that number to increase before the flu has run its course. “Undoubtedly we’ll see more cases in Ontario and I suspect in Durham Region as well,” Dr. Kyle said. He also predicts “more secondary cases,” in which the illness originates in Ontario. “We haven’t seen how that will play out as well.” The incubation for flu is five to 10 days, and he said anyone outside of that period who See VIRUS page 10 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 30, 20092 AP Mt.

Unit #135, Pickering 905-683-4477 Oshawa/Whitby 905-571-2377 Hand sanitizers also popular in local drug stores BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Joan Quinn swung by Health- Rite Pharmacy in Ajax Wednesday morning to purchase a recent hot commodity: a face mask. “My mother is in a nursing home in Oshawa and I thought it would be a good idea to wear one when I got there,” she said. The 74-year-old Ajax resident admits to fearing swine flu, an outbreak that began in Mexico and has since traveled to Durham Region. She’s been “hand-washing and try- ing to stay away from people.” However, Ms. Quinn deals with people at her job as a lunchroom supervisor at a local school. Although she doesn’t plan to wear a mask yet, “If I find out anyone’s been to Mexico, I certainly will wear one.” And “I’ll probably wear it when I go to my doctor’s office.” Ross Roadknight, manager of Health-Rite Pharmacy in Ajax, has sold about a dozen packages of face masks in the past week, but they’re still in stock. Since Health-Rite deals with home care, it has contact with companies that provide masks directly and doesn’t have the problem others are facing when ordering them from wholesalers. “I have 36 more on order and I am going to get them,” he said. But face masks are not the only precau- tions people should take. “It’s effective to stop from catching germs, stop from breathing in germs, but it isn’t just your mouth where you can get these germs,” he said, adding someone can touch a door handle, rub their eye and catch the flu. Hand sanitizers are available throughout the store to customers and employees. He also sent a memo to staff, telling them to sneeze into their arm rather than hands, and to stay away from people who are coughing. Meanwhile, Scotts IDA Pharmacy in Oshawa has put hand sanitizers at each register for cashiers. But pharmacist Jamie Cahill is finding even that’s becoming pop- ular. “Some of the hand antiseptics are hard to find,” he said. “We have some, but we sold a lot of them the other day.” He added since a number of companies manufacture sani- tizers, it shouldn’t really be a problem. Scotts IDA has also been selling more masks than usual. “I know we sold four yesterday,” he said. “People have been calling and asking.” One company he normally deals with didn’t have any masks in stock, but, “We’re going through another one just so we have a few in.” But Mr. Cahill doesn’t want to alarm any- body. “Knowledge never hurts anybody. We’re trying to make sure we’re prepared any way to the best we can,” he said. “It can’t hurt to be prepared but I don’t want to sit there and say everybody’s got to buy a mask.” But should the situation worsen, face masks are available to staff. “We’ve covered all our staff already,” he said. The Public Health Agency of Canada does not recommend that members of the gen- eral public wear surgical masks to protect against contracting human swine influen- za. Evidence shows that this is not effective in preventing transmission of influenza in the general public, according to the agency. It says people often use masks incorrectly, or contaminate them when putting them on and taking them off, which could actu- ally increase the risk of infection.

He said he is worried that some of his crew might be barred from Canada because of the swine flu but he hasn’t started freaking out yet. About 20,000 migrant farm workers come to Canada each year for an eight-month sea- son - and 94 per cent remain in southern Ontario. Mexico and Jamaica are the two big- gest sources of the migrant farm workers. Mr. Watson hires offshore workers from Mexico and Jamaica to help him out on the farm. He said if Mexican workers are banned he might have to hire workers from Jamaica or another supplier country but that wouldn’t be his first choice. “The guys coming to us (from Mexico) have worked for us for years,” he said. “I don’t want to lose these guys.” He said many of the workers are like family; some even bring presents for his kids when they come up to work. He’s expecting more labourers from the country to come up in June. He is worried about the welfare of his usual hires. If they are banned, many will not have a way to support their families, he said. “If they can’t come up they are out of work,” Mr. Watson said. “That’s an entire year of labour they are missing, not just a day’s work.” Kirk Kemp, a partner at Algoma Orchards in Whitby, Newcastle and Bowmanville, has a dozen Mexican workers and some Jamaican labourers pruning trees at the farm. He said he’s hoping the swine flu situation is being blown out of proportion but is glad Canada is taking necessary steps to keep people healthy. “You never know where it will go,” he said. “It’s good to take precautions.” Mr. Kemp’s partner at Algoma, Dave Gib- son, said that five workers arrived from Mex- ico last week and the farm is taking care to make sure they are healthy with measures like taking them to a clinic. “The last thing we want to do since we are handling food products is have any prob- lems,” he said. One of the workers, Ramon Barrios, arrived from his home two hours from Mexico City a couple of days ago. He’s been coming to Can- ada to work the harvest for nine years and he said the measures that are being taking are good. “We are happy with that,” Mr. Barrios said of the trip to the doctor. For Mr. Kemp one of the biggest issues is if Mexican workers are not allowed to enter Canada for the duration of the harvest. He said he doesn’t think it will be possible for farmers to get workers from other coun- tries on short notice if Mexican workers were banned. “Everybody will be looking for work- ers from other countries,” he said. “It could be a disaster for the horticultural industry in Canada...a lot of crops wouldn’t get harvest- ed.” Algoma Orchards is expecting more work- ers to come from Mexico during the sum- mer. Over half of the offshore workers who come to Canada to help out at farms are from Mex- ico, Mr. Kemp said. “Hopefully they will get this sorted out in the next few weeks,” Mr. Kemp said. --with files from Paul Dalby and Stefanie Swinson SWINE FLU Durham farmers worried about losing Mexican crews RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND BOWMANVILLE -- Ramon Barrios a Mexican migrant worker cuts up some steel and wooden crates at Algoma Orchards. WATCH the video story @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 30, 20094 AP Mom died Tuesday night in Peterborough; Pickering woman made urgent appeal to get daughter home BY LAUREN GILCHRIST PETERBOROUGH -- The woman who had been waiting in Mexico five days for a Cana- dian hospital bed and who was finally flown to Peterborough has died. Victoria George-Pazanno died at Peterbor- ough Regional Health Centre Tuesday night. The 29-year-old market researcher from Toronto suffered a severe asthma attack while vacationing in Cancun with her husband and five-year-old son, Isaac, last Wednesday. Her mother, Pauline George from Pickering, made media appeals to have her daughter brought back to Canada. Her husband Dylan Pazzano said after arriving in Peterborough it was a battle for the family to bring his wife home and into a Canadian hospital. He believes the recent fear over the swine flu in Mexico delayed her trip back. “We were down there for five days, sitting in an ICU in Cancun for five days and I’ve been watching my wife slowly break down every single day,” he said. Holding himself togeth- er, Mr. Pazzano said it absolutely “disgusts” him to know he and his wife were pushed aside so easily. “I don’t wish this on anybody that they ever would have to go through something like this, especially in the way that we have. But to just feel so abandoned and just stepped over. Really, just forgotten. And after that, deceived over and over again. It just seemed like everybody wanted to pass the buck and was so willing, in all honesty, to let her die down there.” Mr. Pazzano said he understood people’s fear, but there wasn’t a case of the swine flu in the resort area where his family was stay- ing. Soon after his wife’s attack, Ms. George- Pazzano’s sister Caroline and brother Alex- ander rushed to Cancun to offer support and help take care of Isaac. Mr. Pazzano’s best friend, Geoffrey Antoine, also made the trip to Cancun. “If there was an iota that this doctor thought she might have the swine flu, that any of us had contracted that, they would have shut that place down in an instant,” said Mr. Paz- zano. Once in Hospiten Cancun, Mr. Pazzano said he contacted his travel insurance pro- vider and they began to search for an ICU bed in Ontario, only to come up empty. They were repeatedly told there were no ICU beds available. “We went as far west as London, Kingston, Oshawa, Hamilton. We exhausted every sin- gle possible avenue we could when it came to finding an ICU bed for her at that time. I’ve never experienced this before so I just had to believe that was the reason why,” he said. “You have to start questioning that because after awhile you wonder why you are still down there. This can’t be the way things work. You can’t have your country leave you down there, strand you down there, and to let one of their own die down there. That’s definitely not the way it works and shouldn’t work here in Canada.” While in Mexico, Mr. Pazzano said he dealt with the Canadian Consulate, which did everything it could from its end. He can’t speak highly enough about the care the doc- tors and nurses in Cancun gave his wife.

AP Greenwood Bypass - Westney Road (Regional Road 31) Class Environmental Assessment Study City of Pickering In response to growing traffic volumes, The Regional Municipality of Durham has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to examine the need for the proposed realignment of Westney Road around the Hamlet of Greenwood, in the City of Pickering. This study, which is being undertaken in accordance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, will confirm the need and justification for the realignment of Westney Road; identify the alternative solutions to the defined problems and opportunities; and select a preferred implementation strategy. The map below illustrates the preliminary study area for this project. A key component of the project will be public consultation through two public information centres (PIC). The PICs will provide members of the public with an opportunity to meet the project team, review the study scope, and discuss issues related to the project. Details regarding the PICs will be advertised as the study progresses.

The video clips, not shown to the public, include a 17-year-old being slapped in the face, filmed while unconscious, dressed up as a doll, and depicted as a rape victim in one clip, according to court statements read during testimony April 29. Michael ‘Ross’ Stratton has pleaded guilty to 13 charges for crimes against children aged six to 17. But he and his lawyer, Alan Risen, are contesting that some of the sexual activity he engaged in with a 17- year-old was consensual. Mr. Stratton took the stand at Superior Court in Whitby on April 29, offering some expla- nations for what was seen and heard during hours of tape previously viewed by Ontario Court Justice Paul Bellefontaine. Regarding the rape scene, Mr. Stratton offered, “she acted very well, she was sup- posed to be scared,” adding the girl was aware she was being filmed. But Prosecutor Kent Saliwonchyk questioned Mr. Stratton about situations where the girl was filmed while unconscious, during which time Mr. Stratton performed sexual acts on her. Mr. Stratton said in those cases he received consent to film and touch her before she passed out. “I don’t know if I get consent and she passes out, if (consent) still applies, I’m not a lawyer,” said Mr. Stratton. But he agreed with the prosecutor the girl would be unable to retract consent if she wasn’t conscious. Mr. Stratton said he also performed sex acts on her while she was unconscious to prove to her she could be taken advantage of if she passed out. Mr. Saliwonchyk also questioned why Mr. Stratton repeatedly men- tioned his crack cocaine use around the time the videos were made. “Because (we) were not in the right state of mind,” said Mr. Stratton. “So crack interfered with your ability to know when you crossed the line?” asked the prosecutor, to which Mr. Stratton nodded in agree- ment. Mr. Stratton acknowledged he did cross the line in the rape fantasy video, although he told the court he showed the girl the footage after- wards “and (she) didn’t have a problem with it”. The Crown expects the trial to continue Thursday.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions These days, if you have an e-mail account, you may as well have a subscription to the National Enquirer. There’s not a week goes by that my inbox isn’t clogged with a pile of the goofiest, wackiest, flakiest stuff I’ve ever seen. “Microsoft and Disney want to give you a million dollars.” “Boycott McDonald’s –- they’re single- handedly destroying the Canadian cattle industry.” “KFC uses chickens without beaks!” And, of course, the ubiquitous penis- enlargement pharmaceutical deals. None of which, by the way, work. Or so I’m told. I love the Internet. I really do. It’s an incredible tool for so many wonderful things. Research that used to take me a morning at the library is now only a key- stroke away. The world is literally at my doorstep. But that doesn’t mean I want to open the door and let just anybody in. The world is full of nut-jobs and morons, too. Along with the treasures of the ages, there’s an enormous amount of crapola out there. And in our rush to embrace this new tech- nology, which moves at the speed of light, we have, many of us, turned off our brains and disabled our social filters. I’m as guilty as anyone. I remember, as a new Internet user, screaming like an elec- tronic Henny Penny, to anyone and every- one in my address book, about the dan- gers of innocently ingesting a knock-out drug and subsequently having one of your organs harvested. It happened to a friend of a friend of a guy who knew a guy that worked for a guy whose aunt read some- thing about it ... somewhere. Please for- ward to everyone you care about. Why do we do this? Why do we suddenly lose all vestiges of common sense when it comes to things we read or see or hear in cyberspace? I post things on the Internet and I wouldn’t trust me as far as I could throw me. The other thing that drives me a little nutty is people who abuse the ease, reach and anonymity of e-mail. For some strange reason, hordes of people feel it’s OK to del- uge the inboxes of people they barely know with daily, sometimes hourly, inanity. As a result of a number of dopes who seem inca- pable of picking up on social cues, I’ve had to become very choosey about who gets my personal e-mail address. Here’s a big tip- off folks ... If you send daily jokes, hilarious stories, even unsavory pictures to someone on a constant basis and they’ve never, ever, once sent you anything in return ... you’re not really pen pals. You’re a pain in the ass. I’m not saying knock it off completely but use a little judgment. And for crying out loud, know your audience. Do you really think everyone in your address book will appreciate the photo of the naked nuns playing bocce with the same enthusiasm as the fellas at the Legion? When we only had snail mail and the telephone, were you constantly calling everyone in your little black book to tell them the one about the two Irishmen, the rabbi and the hooker? Of course not. That would’ve entailed a lot of time and effort, not to mention long- distance charges and postage. Well, don’t let the speed, ease and affordability of the current mode of communication lull you into thinking it’s any less of a breach of eti- quette. Even at the speed of light, manners are still manners. Durham resident Neil Crone actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his column. Look after yourself but don’t panic over swine flu You can thank the lessons learned from the 2003 SARS epidemic for where we are today with respect to concerns over a possible swine flu outbreak. Those tough times six years ago offered medical professionals the chance to deal with a real-life situation where public health was put at risk. While tragedy was not avert- ed -- a number of people died in the Great- er Toronto Area and others were seriously ill -- medical officials and other profession- als received kudos for their brave work and the difficult conditions in which they per- formed. Many reports came out of the SARS crisis and protocols were established in anticipa- tion of the next pandemic that was sure to follow. We can only hope the swine flu is not the “big one.” While it’s still far too early to tell, of course, it’s gratifying to see the cautious steps being taken by local health departments, hospitals and those in the know. They’re spreading the word about precautions members of the public should take to make sure they don’t get the flu and don’t spread it if they do con- tract it. Local health officials must remain vigilant and continue to provide up-to-date and accurate information to Durham resi- dents. While coverage of this outbreak has been all-encompassing and round-the-clock, it’s important to urge calmness. The centre of the swine-flu storm is Mexico where more than 150 people have died, not Toronto. There have been four cases reported in Durham, notably three Port Perry people who were treated and released at a Lakeridge Health hospital with a mild case of the flu. One per- son, a 23-month old child, was reported to have died of the flu in the United States as of Wednesday afternoon. The Public Health Agency of Canada, for instance, says wearing a mask in public is not necessary. Other practical advice from the agency sounds typical of what you would receive to prevent yourself from catching the flu or getting sick in any normal fashion: wash your hands with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer; cough and sneeze in your arm or sleeve; get your annual flu shot; keep doing what you normally do but stay home if sick; talk to a health professional if you expe- rience flu-like symptoms. Above all, don’t panic. There is no need to and it will not help. Everything that can be done will be done to offer the most modern and effective protection against any pan- demic that might come our way. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. 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 Highs and lows of Internet part of strange new world Neil Crone newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 30, 20096 P WE THINK... e-mail responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 30, 20097 AP Thursday April 30, 2009 Today’s carrier of the week is Emeka.

Taking the witness stand in his own defence Monday, the young man told his lawyer he wasn’t involved in the 2007 shooting outside a home on Shoal Point Road, and that he was lying when he told a cell mate in a police lock-up that he pulled the trigger. “I was scared,” said the youth, who was 17 at the time of the shooting. “I wanted to sound cool.” Jurors in this Superior Court trial have heard evidence that the accused man, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was one of several suspects in the abduc- tion in Scarborough of a teenager who was driven to Ajax, forced to call the intended victim and lure him into an ambush. Jurors heard testimony from the young man who said he was abducted. They’ve also heard the evidence of an undercover police officer who was placed in a holding cell when the accused youth was arrested several days after the shooting. Prosecutor Isabel Pargana has played tapes of the jailhouse conversation in which the youth described the attack and his role in it. Confronted with that apparent confes- sion Monday, the youth testified he was trying to portray himself as an outlaw to gain favour with the cop, whom he took to be an older prisoner. “I did it for protection,” he told defence lawyer Kevin Mitchell-Gill. “I’m not a big guy.” The trial, before Justice Alexander Sosna and a jury, continues. COURTS Confession to Ajax shooting just bragging: defendant AJAX -- A gun was held to a woman’s head during a robbery outside an Ajax gambling establishment early last Friday. The victim, 50, told Durham police a sus- pect pointed a gun at her forehead and demanded her purse after approaching her in the parking lot at the Ajax Downs slots facility on Kingston Road at about 3:30 a.m. The woman handed over her purse and the suspect fled to an awaiting vehicle driven by another suspect, police said.

A trend toward “defi ned-contribution” pension plans-those where employee and employer contributions are specifi ed, but not the amount the employee will receive at retirement-means many workers don’t know in advance how much their pensions will provide. Payouts from these plans are based on the returns earned by investments, with the level of income known only when it’s time to retire. If investments perform well, you could have more income than you expect; if they underperform you could be left short. Defi ned-contribution plans are different from “defi ned-benefi t” plans, which spell out in advance how much pensioners will receive, based on salary and length of service with an employer. Defi ned-benefi t plans were once the norm in Canada, but they’re being rapidly replaced by defi ned-contribution plans. Most new pension plans are of the defi ned-contribution type, and many existing defi ned-benefi t plans are being converted. Companies like defi ned-contribution plans because responsibility is shifted from the business to its employees. Employers don’t have to come up with money to pay fi xed benefi ts when investments perform poorly, as is the case with defi ned-benefi t plans. Instead, their major responsibility is meeting contribution obligations. That doesn’t mean that members of defi ned-contribution plans have no control over their future. They can usually choose how money contributed to the plan will be invested. Participants are provided with tax-sheltered investment options, ranging from conservative to higher growth. Their contributions are pooled with those of other plan members and invested by professionals. But with higher expectations comes higher risk. For example, those who choose a growth option that invests largely in equities could suffer if the stock market has a few down years immediately before retirement. Even defi ned-benefi t plans have risks. Today, many of these plans are underfunded and could fail to meet obligations to employees. This can be because of poor investment returns or a company’s inability to make contributions. How can you protect yourself from the possibility of less pension income than you’ll need? The best strategy is to have other sources of retirement income. The logical choice for generating increased income is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). If you belong to a pension plan, your yearly RRSP contribution room will be reduced by a “pension adjustment,” but you may still be able to build considerable wealth before retirement. That wealth will provide additional income. If you don’t have RRSP room, invest outside a retirement plan. Although you have to pay tax on income earned from non-registered investments, with investments such as stocks eligible for capital gains and dividend tax breaks you still have the potential to boost savings.

And so far, the Durham Catholic and Dur- ham District school boards haven’t had to make any cancellations because of the ill- ness. “We haven’t modified anything at all -- three cases (of swine flu) have just come to light in Durham,” said Paul Pulla, the Cath- olic board’s director of education. Right now, the board is monitoring the sit- uation just like everyone else in the region is doing, he said. Kevin Empey, Lakeridge Health’s chief executive officer, said three people attended an emergency department at a Lakeridge site with mild flu-like symptoms on Friday, April 24. On Wednesday, the Ontario chief medical officer of health confirmed a fourth diagnosis in Durham Region. Early Monday, the public board sent out a memo explaining what to do to mini- mize risk, including increased diligence of cleaning and sanitizing in buildings, and reminding students and staff about prop- er hand-washing techniques and covering their mouths when sneezing. “We’re in regular contact with public health,” Andrea Pidwerbecki, the public board’s communications manager, said. The board has a database of all school trips out of province and it doesn’t have anything going near Mexico right now, she said. The Catholic board hasn’t cancelled any in-school events or modified any of its poli- cies as of yet because of the illness either. “We wouldn’t do that unless there’s a rea- son to do that and at the present time there’s nothing that has come to light to put us in a position to do that,” Mr. Pulla said.

Provincial health officials confirmed Wednesday afternoon that a further three Ontario residents now have swine flu -- four in Durham Region, two in neighbouring York Region and one in Peel Region. Of the seven cases, six have recently trav- elled to Mexico. Health officials are await- ing confirmation on the seventh person’s travel history. On Tuesday, it was announced three Port Perry residents were among the first Ontar- ians confirmed to have the viral disease. No details were provided on the identity or hometown of the fourth case. Lakeridge Health officials said Wednes- day afternoon that health-care officials treated Durham’s fourth confirmed case at an emergency room at one of its three hos- pital sites on April 26. All seven Ontario cases are linked to the same strain that is circulating around Mex- ico and the United States. They all have a mild strain of the influenza virus and are expected to recover at home, said Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s acting chief medical officer of health. He expects the numbers to continue to climb. The new confirmed cases “are not unex- pected, as most lab results become avail- able we’ll see more and more cases,” said Dr. Williams at a press briefing on Wednes- day. It now takes about three days to get a test result, from taking a sample to confirmation of illness. The Province is working with its labs to reduce that to two days. The average age of each of Ontario’s seven cases is 22, said Dr. Williams. All were traced to “tourist areas” in Mexico, he added. The acting chief medical officer of health said the viral disease “is evolving as the flu virus does evolve and it’s very important to track for change over time, particularly in terms of drug resistance.” Health officials have yet to see a case in Ontario where swine flu is transferred from one person to another, but Dr. Williams said he would “not rule that out.” OUTBREAK Fourth case of swine flu confirmed in Durham Investment Corner prints every other Thursday.

If they’ve passed the incubation period, there’s no reason to worry,” the doctor stated. “I think we’re viewing it like we would any respiratory illness. The flu occurs in Ontario and Durham Region every year,” Dr. Kyle said. “The only change with the current strain is you’re not, or may not be protected by the current vaccine. It’s not a more viru- lent strain,” he added. “If you need medical attention, phone ahead so they can put their infection con- trols in place,” he stated. “We caution people to exercise common sense.” Steve McNenly, the assistant director of the Durham EMS, said paramedics have been following policies put in place dur- ing the SARS crisis. “At this point, we haven’t had to make any changes,” Mr. McNenly said. “We have confidence with the policies and practic- es we put in place. We’ve had enhanced policies since SARS.” One change made is the Central Ambu- lance Communication Centre, operat- ed by the Ministry of Health to dispatch ambulances, has “added Mexico to its call questions. If someone is short of breath or has a fever, one question asked is if they have had foreign country contact. They’ve added Mexico.” PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE DURHAM -- The Durham Region Health Depart- ment has posted a link on its website to the Pub- lic Health Agency of Canada, which lists freqently asked questions about the swine flu. On the site, www.publichealth.gc.ca, Cana- dians are advised to: • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water, or use hand sanitizer • Cough and sneeze in your arm or sleeve • Get your annual flu shot • Keep doing what you normally do, but stay home if sick • Check www.fightflu.ca for more informa- tion • Check www.voyage.gc.ca for travel notices and advisories • Talk to a health professional if you experi- ence severe flu-like symptoms.

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 Let’s Talk About “Talk” Therapy 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.” For more information about CBT or the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

Aside from a couple of releases following Wednesday’s practice, the Ajax-Pickering Rock are set to open the Sr. B lacrosse season in Ohsweken (formally the Mohawk Stars) on Saturday night, followed by the club’s home opener on Friday, May 8 against the Norwood Nitro. While the home opener at the Ajax Com- munity Complex is likely to serve as the first glimpse local fans will get at the lacrosse team, the club’s roster will be unveiled against Norwood, and GM Paul St. John for one is looking forward to seeing his club in action. “It’s been a good camp because we didn’t know what to expect going in,” says St. John, adding the club attracted a high number of talented ball players into their training camp. Among those has been Daniel Fleming, who played field lacrosse last season with the University of Toronto, and previous to that, Jr. B with Mimico. “We think he could be the real deal,” St. John says. In goal, the club is still trying to solidify the position. Michael McKay and Scott Komer from last season are being given consider- ation, while Kevin Beauvais, who dressed for 13 games last season with the Owen Sound Woodsmen, is also seeking a spot on the roster. As for the identity of the team this season, St. John says fans can expect a run and gun style, with lots of transition and running. “Throughout tryouts the guys found out you get in shape condition wise,” he says. “We feel more talented this year than last year, so we feel we can be more successful with that style.” The Rock is looking to improve on a 5-9-0 record last season. HIGH SCHOOL AJ GROEN / METROLAND AJAX -- Ajax-Pickering Rock head coach Jim Veltman offers some words of wisdom to his players during tryouts for the Senior B lacrosse team. The Rock open the regular season this weekend.
