The library experienced record circula- tion numbers in 2009.Pickering library has best year ever NEW IHELP DESK ALLOWS CLIENTS TO USE IPOD, SOFTWARE FOR FREE BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The belief that a downturn in the economy means a surge at the local library rang true at the Pickering Public Library in 2009. With nearly 1.2 million items borrowed, 2009 was its most successful year yet, with an increase of seven per cent in circulation from 2008, despite no increase in Pickering’s population. “If you have to let go of your Internet subscrip- tion, you come to the library,” said library CEO Cathy Grant. The library, in the civic complex at One The Esplanade, not only continued its Internet ser- vices and expanded its collection of books, games, DVDs, magazines and audio books, but also added its iHelp desk. The technological service centre features five iMac computers that offer a wealth of software programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and GarageBand, and has stations to print digital photos, scanners and two big-screen TVs for viewing news, video podcasts, stock tickers, traf- fic, weather and video editing purposes.

The Crown has indicated its intention to seek a jail term for the youth, who admitted in an Oshawa court Tuesday he was behind the wheel of a Saturn Ion that struck and killed the boys in the midst of a fight last February. The boy, 17, plead- ed guilty to two counts of criminal neg- ligence causing death and will be sen- tenced March 1; his identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Prosecutor Ken Polley said the outburst of violence in the residential neighbour- hood near Ajax’s Hermitage Park arose from a simmering dispute between the youth and another boy, both of whom were incensed by acts of “disrespect. “One spat on the other’s car and one threw a wrench” during an earlier con- frontation, Mr. Polley said in reading an agreed statement of facts. The boys agreed to meet on Friday, Feb. 27 to resolve their differences, Mr. Polley said. Word of an impending fight spread and five carloads of youths showed up in Ajax. They met first at Pickering High School, but the threat of sanctions by school authorities led them to take the dispute elsewhere. The young people convened at Hermit- age Park, near Griffiths Drive and Leah Crescent, and watched as the youth and the other boy talked; the result was that the boys “resolved their beef without vio- lence,” Mr. Polley said. But “certain members of both groups were not satisfied with the peaceful res- olution,” he said, and the two groups squared off as fights erupted, he told Jus- tice Peter De Freitas. During the melee a friend of the Pickering youth’s was stabbed. The boy got into his vehicle and fled the scene, only to turn around and race back, Mr. Polley said. Witnesses heard the engine revving and tires squealing as the Saturn approached, he said. The car mounted a snow bank and plowed into the Toronto boys, sending them flying, court heard. The victims sustained fractured legs when hit by the car and fractured skulls as they fell to the roadway. Both boys were rushed to hos- pital but succumbed to their injuries. An investigation by Durham police indicated the youth’s Saturn was acceler- ating at a “pedal to the metal” pace and that no brakes were applied in the sec- onds before the collision, Mr. Polley told the judge. The youth helped his friend, who had suffered minor stab wounds, into anoth- er vehicle, which fled the scene. Durham police stopped the vehicle nearby on Kingston Road. The youth remains free on bail pending his sentencing. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 7, 20102 AP FX AUTOFX AUTO 701 BROCK ST. N.701 BROCK ST. N.

One hundred twenty-two motorists were charged with impaired driving dur- ing the campaign, which began in late November and wound up on the week- end following New Year’s Day, Durham police reported. The 2008 campaign saw 152 impaired charges laid. The number of motorists who had their licences suspended for registering a warning on roadside breath tests was down too, with 127 suspensions issued in 2009 compared to 168 in 2009. In all, 656 roadside tests were conducted in 2009 (903 the previous year) as officers stopped 12,989 vehicles (10,468 in 2008) at check points across the region. One statistic that showed an increase was the number of G1 and G2 drivers caught for breaching their no-alcohol restriction: 66 charges were laid in 2009, compared to 45 in 2008.

BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Despite some objections from the com- munity, Pickering’s planning and development com- mittee has approved plans for a retirement residence on Kingston Road. V!VA Retirement Living Corp. plans to build a 135- unit, six-storey rental retirement residence at Glenanna and Kingston roads. A day care that will accommodate between 35 and 40 kids is also planned for the bottom floor. “I would encourage the com- mittee to send this back to the planning department for further discussion,” said resident Peter Smith. Mr. Smith feels the building would be too tall for the neigh- bourhood, and that traffic will become even more chaotic than it already is. He also fears for more of the same coming to the neighbourhood, considering there are two vacant lots to the north of the property. Planning director Neil Carroll said this development represents the northern limit of high density in the area. There would have to be some “heavy-duty” zon- ing amendments to the area that is designated as low density, and he doesn’t believe they’d be approved. Mr. Carroll also said he’s “not anticipating any signifi- cant traffic issues here.” Nearby resident Richard Smiles, a 40-year amateur radio operator, said the building will interfere with his radio communication contacts, limiting use of his radio station. He’s also concerned it will interfere with his satellite services. Although Mr. Smiles said V!VA representatives indi- cated they would accommodate his worries, he’s con- cerned about the upkeep of any devices that may be installed to help him maintain his hobby, and is wait- ing for something in writing. “I strongly recommend this building structure height be limited to three sto- reys or less,” he said in a letter to the City. “This would be in line with all other structures on the north side of Kingston Road between Dixie Road to the west and Brock Road to the east.” Mr. Smiles was also concerned about alarms being muffled in case of an emergency at the Pickering Nucle- ar Station. But Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said with the new advance warning system that’s been put into place, that won’t be a problem. Coun. McLean said the building will be a welcomed, tasteful addition to the community, in a great, con- venient location for seniors since it’s close to many of Pickering’s amenities. “People want to get out, we encourage people to be mobile,” he said. “Here is a per- fect example where people can be mobile.” The plans will come go council on Monday, Jan. 18 for final approval.

DURHAM -- Durham residents can now have a say in how their buses are run. Durham Region Transit is now enter- ing the fourth, and final, phase of con- sultation activities, for the long-term transit strategy. With stakeholder and community advisory committee meet- ings happening throughout January, the third series of open houses will also be held at five locations around Durham. The purpose of these open houses is to receive input from the public about the proposed plan for DRT. The advisory committee is made up of 40 individual and organization vol- unteers, whose purpose is to develop transit alternatives and discuss goals for DRT. “We’ve received valuable comments from our residents and businesses throughout the year-long study. We have evaluated a number of transit corridors and technology options, and now it’s time to go back to the community and obtain their feedback on our results,” said Phil Meagher, deputy general man- ager of operations for DRT. Open house sessions will be: • Oshawa -- Jan. 21, from 2 to 5 p.m., at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, South Wing, 200 Simcoe St. • Brooklin -- Jan. 23, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Brooklin Public Library lounge, 150 Winchester Rd.

The iHelp desk also offers iPods and iPod downloads, allowing clients to fill them up with audio books for free. “I would say that’s one of our popular ser- vices,” said digital services librarian Kayhan Boncoglu. Mr. Boncoglu, the brains behind iHelp’s creation, minds the desk, happy to answer questions and solve software problems for library clients. “We try to have all the answers to a whole gamut of digital questions,” he said, adding he had just helped a woman restore the oper- ating system on her network. iHelp was originally designed to help baby boomers and seniors since more of their questions were focused on technology than traditional reference questions. “They were getting tired of asking their kids,” Ms. Grant joked. But now, it seems people of all ages are using it, she said. Ms. Grant feels the layout of the library, with sections such as mystery and home and garden, keeps clients coming back by creat- ing an enjoyable atmosphere for them, much like a book store, making it easy to find the right book. “It’s a very browsable collection,” she said. Staff also continuously updates the library’s stock, keeping regulars like Terisa Hamilton happy. “My library is very important to me because I’m a bookaholic,” she said. The Ajax resident, who’s able to borrow from Pickering since she works in the city, drops by almost daily. “They have a hard time keeping up with me,” she joked. But Ms. Hamilton often utilizes the fast- read program, which gives clients only five days with a hot book. In 2009, the library also expanded its oper- ating hours to include year-round Sundays at the central library so busy families could use it on the weekend, a big factor to the increase in visitors, said Ms. Grant. It also displayed local art at the library branches by partnering with the Durham West Arts Centre, which is now located at the Greenwood branch. We try to have all the answers to a whole gamut of digital questions.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions SUPPORT OUR TROOPS This repatriation was truly different To the editor: On Sunday, I attended the bridge on Cobbledick Road in Newcastle, arriving at 4 p.m. with my wife, Jaci, and her 75-year- old mother, Jean. Jean happened to be on holiday from Wales. Jean is not good on her legs these days but she insisted she wanted to be present for the homecoming of some of Canada’s finest. We all waited patiently for 50 minutes, when, in the distance, the flashing lights of the cavalcade could be seen thank goodness. I personally have attended 80 per cent of all the homecomings standing on various bridges from Newcastle to Oshawa, but this one was the most heartbreaking. I looked around at the other citizens on the bridge and there was not a dry eye to be seen. So what was different about this repatriation? Was it because the reporter from Calgary, Michelle Lang, was amongst the return- ing servicemen or the amount of vehicles involved with so many family members therin? Or was it because we were about to get out of the extreme weather conditions (-20 C) or maybe a combination of them all -- I don’t know. But this ceremony was dif- ferent for sure. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those who came out and showed the families of the fallen their respect and support. The Highway of Heroes probably had tens of thousands on it Sunday night. God bless you one and all. John Johnson Past President Branch 178 Royal Canadian Legion Bowmanville HISTORY MATTERS Author appreciates review To the editor: Re: Whitby author brings history to life, Jan. 3. I want to thank Mike Ruta for his recent story on the first book in the Leaders Legacies series, The Mystery of the Moonlight Murder: An early adventure of John Diefenbaker. We live in a country with an acute lack of national consciousness. What I neglected to mention to Mr. Ruta was many people seem to think our high level of immigration is the reason for our lack of national consciousness. Nothing could be further from the truth. According to researchers when it comes to feelings of pride, visible minorities express high levels of pride in Canada, on par with white Canadians. Despite popular belief, immigrants are eager for information about their new land and are often keen to fit in. As a children’s book author, my goal is to make our history accessible and compel- ling -- to both the ones who have been born here and the ones who arrive each day. When young people grow up and see opportuni- ties for themselves, feeling an internal sense of leadership from within, I see opportunities for Canada, too. It is this belief which will allow our children to shape our nation for generations to come. Roderick Benns Whitby MANNERS What’s with the new generation? To the editor: I would like to know when it became accept- able in society to use foul language in a nor- mal conversation in public. We are told not to wish anyone a Merry Christmas as it may offend someone but it is OK to use the F word and we aren’t supposed to be offended. I keep getting told this is all part of the ‘New Generation. I am told our parents and grandparents went through the same thing when they viewed the younger generation but I don’t remember growing up to be so disrespectful and discourteous. Jamie Julien Bowmanville Region lets down citizens with loss of health information It may have been a small device able to fit in the palm of a hand, but it contained a massive amount of important information which could ultimately affect the lives of over 83,000 Durham residents. “It” was the USB key which contained vital data on 83,524 local people who had been vaccinated at one of the Region’s H1N1 flu clinics. The computer storage device fell out of a Durham Region Health Department employee’s pocket in a park- ing lot and has since failed to turn up. And that is worrisome. What’s on the little USB key? It con- tains such data as name, address, date of birth, health card number, doctors’ names and other pertinent health information. It sounds like the perfect stew for a fraud artist to make use of if the information fell into the wrong hands. According to Detective Brett McCagh- erty of the fraud unit of Durham Region- al Police, the data on the storage device is not substantial enough to create a false ID. That comes as a relief. However, there is enough there for someone to conceivably get a cellphone in someone else’s name, using the information on the USB key. What the storage device does not contain are driver’s licence and social insurance numbers. Det. McCagherty says, without those pieces of information, creating a false identity is extremely difficult. The detec- tive does advise all those who were vacci- nated at a regional clinic before Dec. 15 to check their credit histories, recent bills and accounts to make sure no unusual items pop up. Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s Medical Offi- cer of Health, quickly reported the device missing and tried to mitigate its loss. Letters were sent out to all those who were impacted by the loss of the informa- tion. The cost to taxpayers for postage and paper for those letters was $44,808.62. That’s spending we don’t need to flush away during a recession. How did it happen? Turns out to have been simple, straight- forward human error. Obviously, it should have been handled with much better care. But now that the USB key is gone and is out there somewhere, what’s to be done by the Region and what can all those affected do to safeguard their information? The risk of the misuse of health card information is extremely low, according to experts and there is really no need to replace your health card, though it will be done for free. The Region must do a much better job of taking care of important information in future and ensure such a mistake does not happen again. Procedures must be reviewed and safe- guards put in place, so residents can con- fidently give the health department infor- mation without worrying it will be jeopar- dized. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / 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 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 7, 20106 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 7, 20107 AP www.audiologyservices.ca Advanced care... tomorrow’s hearing today!

Aging in place is a reference to living where you have lived for many years, or to living in a non-healthcare environment and using products, services and conveniences to enable you to not have to move as circumstances change. Research shows that the majority of people would prefer to age in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. However, quite often it is the home that creates diffi culties. Most residential homes are geared to young, healthy adults and do not support the physical and sensory changes that people encounter as they age. The aging process is blamed for many problems seniors encounter with daily activities. Community Lifecare at Home presents an informal and dynamic FREE Speaker Series, directed at seniors and their families. It is intended to educate the audience about the wide range of resources that are available to support the ability to age in place successfully.

Gifford-Jones M.D. What can you do if you’ve tried every conceivable way to relieve pain? You’ve been treated by anti- inÁammatory drugs, cortisone, painkillers, physiotherapy, massage and Ànally, surgery. Yet the pain continues unabated. A technique, known as “Low Intensity Laser Therapy” (LILT) could be the answer. Dr. Fred Kahn is Director of the Meditech Laser and Rehabilitation Centre in Toronto, and a specialist in pain control. He believes in curing the pain by curing the cause. I’ve talked to several of his patients about how LILT eased their pain and changed their lives. PC, a 43-year-old jogger, collided with a glass door on returning to her hotel. When the door shattered, a large fragment of glass penetrated her knee. It left her with osteoarthritis and a life on crutches. Doctors claimed knee replacement was her only hope to relieve pain. After 11 treatments with LILT over a Àve- week period, PC threw away the crutches and returned to work. GM, an 85-year-old former World War II pilot, had four back operations. A surgical error caused nerve damage, another resulted in infection and 26 weeks in hospital. Cysts formed in his spine and he required a morphine pump to ease the pain. Now after a three- month treatment with LILT he walks upright without a cane and is being taken off morphine. He says he’s 75 percent improved and can’t believe it’s happened. A 17-year-old equestrienne had the misfortune of a 1000 pound horse falling and rolling over her hip joint. This left her with a visible limp and an audible click when she walked. Specialists told her they had little to offer but painkillers for her pain and drugs to treat her subsequent depression. When seen by Dr. Kahn she had extensive soft tissue damage in the hip and thigh and so much injury to the joint capsule of the hip that it almost popped out with every step. After four treatments with LILT the pain had subsided and she stopped pain medication. She continued treatment three times a week until she returned to a normal gait. LILT jump-starts the body’s natural healing process by sending energy into the muscles and joints that’s then transformed into biochemical energy. This decreases swelling, accelerates healing time and increases the pain threshold. Dr. Kahn says LILT also triggers release of endorphins, morphine- like substances that inhibit the sensation of pain. It also increases cortisol, the forerunner of cortisone and angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels along with a number of other physiological processes. The majority of patients seen at Meditech suffer from degenerative arthritis involving the lumbo-sacral spine. Sixty percent of these patients also have degenerative disc disease, bulging discs causing compression of spinal nerves or spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the diameter of the spinal column. In the process of evolution, learning to stand upright has exacted a toll on the human spine. Maybe we should have stayed in the trees! Another large group of patients suffers from sports injuries. These younger patients respond quickly to LILT. At the clinic I also saw several patients suffering from The Shoulder-Neck-Arm Syndrome and The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome both related to long hours at the computer. Others had rheumatoid arthritis and diabetic ulcers of the feet. Many patients have been told, “You have to live with your pain”. But this is not always the case. Rather, the use of low intensity laser therapy has proven to be a pain-buster alternative, and improves over 90 percent of patients who have signiÀcant problems. And it does not involve the use of medication, a huge advantage today. I discovered that Dr. Kahn, a dedicated physician, and I, share the same wavelength. We deplore seeing patients drugged into oblivion by painkillers. And we both believe that surgery should be done only as a last resort. Today doctors, even with the help of MRIs, often can’t be sure of what’s causing pain. In these instances, tincture of time along with a course of LILT may be the best solution. Low Intensity Laser Therapy to Relieve Pain “You have to live with your pain”. But this is not always the case.

Returning to the mainstay of the lineup, they recently unveiled the 2011 CTS Coupe at the Los Angeles Auto Show. This latest and most dramat- ic expression of Cadillac design traces its roots back to the origi- nal CTS that was spawned from the Art & Science philosophy first illustrated by the 1999 Evoq Concept. “And this production version of the coupe is almost 90 per cent faithful to the CTS Coupe Concept that we showed at the beginning of the year in Detroit,” according to Clay Dean, Exec- utive Director GM Advanced Global Design / Cadillac Brand Director. Yes, the concept wore 20-inch rubber instead of the available 18- or 19-inch wheels but, seen in profile, this is a beautiful car, with sleek, flowing lines that pay tribute to the coupes of the past in an exciting and contemporary new way. “Cadillac has always been an emotional brand – it’s about delivering art regardless of body style,” said Max Wolff, direc- tor of exterior design for Cadil- lac. “With the CTS Coupe, it was about taking something very strong – the CTS Sport Sedan – and extending its potential.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 7, 201011 AP Prices are plus license, taxes and global. * $500 cash back with any used vehicles purchase until close December 31st.

Overall length is also two inches (51 mm) shorter, giving the coupe short overhangs and a wheels-to- the-corner aggressive stance. You’d expect to find parts in common with its CTS sport sedan sister, but the CTS Coupe shares only the instrument panel, console, headlamps, front fenders and grille. From the A-pillar back, the coupe is a completely different car. The windshield is laid back at a faster angle (62.3 degrees) and, combined with the lowered roof and a long, nearly horizontal rear window, con- tributes to the sleek and dramatic pro- file. The smooth-sided profile is empha- sized even further by the classic hardtop styling with no conventional B-pillar, and by touch-pad operated doors that have removed the need for conventional han- dles. Both the 2011 CTS and 2011 CTS- V Coupe versions will go on sale by early summer in the U.S., coming to Canada about a month later, probably by July or August of 2010, with Canadian pricing and packaging details released just before.newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 7, 201012 AP 1250 Dundas St. E., Whitby 905-668-68811-866-488-5002 www.whitbymazda.com ALL USED CARS - PRICED TO MOVE! • ALL USED CARS - PRICED TO MOVE!

It’s normal to feel occasional anxiety in everyday life, but 1 in 5 Canadians experience something far more intense than that. If your stress is so persistent that it interferes with your daily activities, your self-esteem, your relationships or your peace of mind, you may be one of 6 million Canadians who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Most commonly, people with anxiety disorders engage in damaging behaviours to try and lessen their anxiety, such as avoiding circumstances that make them anxious. “It’s this curtailing of activities that causes continued distress,” explains clinical psychologist Dr. David Direnfeld, Director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “When you stop going to parties or driving or even leaving the house, it makes you feel that life is shrinking around you—that you’re trapped in a prison of worry.” “The erosion of our self-confidence and self-worth is often accompanied by depression—a pervasive sense of hopeless- ness, sadness or lack of self-worth,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. The good news here, according to our expert, is that all of the conditions listed above (and plenty more) are treatable by a licensed professional—and often, treatment need not involve medication. One form of “talk therapy” known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be as effective as medication for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depres- sion in the short term, and in many cases, more effective at pre- venting relapse in the long term. In fact, studies involving brain-imaging scans show that CBT produces biochemical changes in the brain that are similar, if not identical to the effects of medication. “The major differ- ence,” explains Dr. Direnfeld, “is that with talk therapy, the risk of side-effects is nil.” These facts, along with thousands of clinical studies support- Fear, Sadness, Worry are Treatable Conditions Simple “talk therapy” can yield same or better results than medication, studies show. ing its effectiveness, have earned CBT recognition by Health Canada as the only validated non-medi- cal treatment for anxiety disorders and depression. CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented, forward- looking approach to personal change. It operates on a simple premise: that the way we feel (anxious or fearful, for example) is a result of our thoughts and innermost beliefs, as well as our behaviours. “All of our beliefs are the cumulative effects of our life experiences,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “At times, we may find ourselves with irrational, inaccurate beliefs that are the result of experiences that hap- pened earlier in life. In other words, sometimes our beliefs don’t mesh with reality.” The method of CBT is not to dwell on the past, but to prepare for the future—to rewrite the software of the mind, so to speak, by challenging the irrational beliefs that sabotage you, and replacing them with accurate beliefs that help you overcome your anxiety, and live out your full potential. “I’ve based my entire career on the efficacy of CBT,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “Week after week I see patients who’ve lived with anxiety or depression for years, even decades, make life-altering changes in a relatively short period of time.” “All you need,” he adds, “is the desire and willingness to change.” For more information about CBT or to book a consul- tation at the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (offices in Ajax and downtown Toronto), call 905-427- 2007 or email info@ccbt.ca. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 7, 201016 AP CIARA FOY RNCP Owner/Operator of U Weight Loss Clinic Email your nutrition questions to Ciara at cfoy@uweightloss.com Question: Every year millions of Canadian’s, make it their New Year’s resolution to lose weight or get in shape, but if they are like me, and I suspect the majority are, they have been making the same resolution for years because they just can’t make it stick.

THANK YOU COMMUNITY! Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital emergency department opens Two-day celebration includes ribbon cutting ceremony, VIP tours and a public open house After years of planning, fundraising and construction, the newly-expanded emergency department opened at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital campus. On Nov. 20 and 21, 2009, we celebrated the completion of the first phase of our massive redevelopment project. Over the course of two days, hundreds of excited politicians, business owners, EMS, police, firefighters, residents, donors, staff and media toured the state-of-the art facility. Rouge Valley is committed to being the best at what we do for our patients. The new emergency department and the rest of our redevelopment is a great start toward meeting the current needs of our growing west Durham community. The Rouge Valley Health System Foundation thanks all our friends and generous donors for supporting the construction and equipping of our new emergency department at RVAP. To view more photos from both celebrations, please visit our website at www.rougevalley.ca/rvhsf and click on Photo Gallery. email: foundation@rougevalley.ca „ blog: www.foundationchat.blogspot.com Rouge Valley Centenary „ 2867 Ellesmere Rd, Toronto M1E 4B9 „ (416) 281-7342 Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering „ 580 Harwood Ave S, Ajax L1S 2J4 „ (905) 683-2320 x1501
