PICKERING -- A Pickering clinic is calling for
more funding to independent facilities after
turning away area residents seeking dialysis.
“We had someone the other day who lived
right across the street but I had to send him
away,” said Igal Holtzer, CEO of the Dialysis
Management Clinic on Kingston Road.
“We have 12 dialysis stations but we’re only
funded for eight. That’s 16 more patients we
could be treating. The government is ignoring
the patients here, they need to look at the real-
ity of what’s happening on the ground.”
Carol Holtzer, a nurse and president of the
clinic, says the Province’s dialysis strategy is
mostly focused on hospitals.
“They always look at what hospitals need
but don’t necessarily take into consideration
what patients need,” she explained.
“Ontario has always looked at renal failure
as an acute disease but it’s not, it’s a chronic
disease that people can live many years with.
The focus has been on hospital care but that
may not always be what’s best for the patient.”
Dialysis patients usually receive treatment
three days a week for four to five hours.

“It’s a job,” said Valerie Brettell, a
Pickering resident and patient at the
clinic.
After suffering kidney failure in 2010,
Ms. Brettell was transferred to Humber
River Regional Hospital in Toronto for
care, and continued to travel to the hos-
pital for dialysis after she was released.
Ms. Brettell was transferred to Lakeridge
Health Oshawa’s dialysis unit a month
later, but switched to the Pickering clinic
as soon as a spot opened up.
“If you’re stable this place is wonder-
ful,” Ms. Brettell said.
“The nurses know me and know what
I can tolerate and I can leave here feel-
ing good. They look at your individual
case and personal preferences. They’re
little things but they mean a lot. I can’t
say enough about the concern they have
for your well-being.”
Because it is outside a hospital set-
ting, the clinic can treat more patients
with less money but has not received any
funding increase since 2008, despite an
18-person waiting list.
Dialysis clinics such as the one in
Pickering, known as independent health
facilities were created by the Ministry of
Health in the 1990s.
Initially, IHFs were given annual bud-
get increases equivalent to hospitals but
now facilities must apply for annual bud-
get increases or funding for equipment
replacements, which are evaluated dur-
ing the ministry’s budget process.
“IHFs currently provide hemodialy-
sis treatment for stable chronic patients
as part of the treatment spectrum,” said
David Jensen, a ministry spokesman, in
an e-mail.
He said there are no plans to revise the
system or change the funding model.
“The ministry’s general direction is that
if services can be provided in the com-
munity, including IHFs, then that form
of delivery should be encouraged,” he
said.
“There is no specific plan at this time
for changing the IHF role in provision of
dialysis services.”
Ms. Brettell says the system should
help patients live a full, healthy life by
offering dialysis at nearby facilities that
are easy to get to.
“I wish there was one of these in every
city across the province,” she said of the
clinic.
“At hospitals they are treating the symp-
toms, here they focus on education and
prevention because they have the time.
If this is going to a be a lifetime thing I
don’t want to be in a hospital, I want
to go somewhere nearby where people
know me.”
For her, increased funding to IHFs such
as Dialysis Management is a no-brainer.
“We’ve all been to hospitals, they’re
overcrowded and very busy,” Ms. Brettell
said. “If we make room by removing peo-
ple who aren’t sick it just makes sense,
it’s not rocket science.”
Dialysis facts
• Dialysis treats people in the later stage of
chronic kidney disease by cleaning the blood
and removing wastes and excess water from
the body, which a healthy kidney would normally
do.
• Chronic kidney disease treatment in Ontario is
organized in a wheel and spoke fashion, where
hospitals act as regional hubs while satellite
centres, service partners and IHFs form the
spokes.
• Currently there are eight IHFs providing dialy-
sis services across the country
• About 10,000 Ontarians currently undergo reg-
ular dialysis; only 23 per are treated at home

pickering students declare: ‘i am Who i am’
PICKERING -- Students from the Durham District School Board’s Pickering schools raised $19,341.48 which was presented to the
Muscular Dystrophy Association at Pine Ridge Secondary School on March 2. The money was raised through the I Am Who I
Am campaign, a student-led endeavour inspired by 11-year-old Mitchell Wilson. Mitchell had muscular dystrophy and took his
own life after being bullied. Pine Ridge choir members Kristen Hoo and Asha Broomfield helped to entertain a packed house
at the school.
PICKERING -- Charges including impaired
driving and theft have been laid against two
teens allegedly caught fleeing from a stolen
vehicle Saturday night in Pickering.
The Durham police helicopter Air 1 assist-
ed with the hunt for suspects just before 11
p.m. Police said the driver of a van failed to
stop after an officer attempted to pull the
vehicle over on Sandy Beach Road.
The helicopter was called in after two sus-
pects fled the van on foot. Two teens were
quickly rounded up and cops recovered the
van and a number of stolen licence plates,
police said.
A 16-year-old Ajax male is charged with
failing to stop for police, impaired driving
and driving while exceeding the legal blood-
alcohol limit. He’s also charged with theft of
a motor vehicle and related offences. Also
facing charges relating to the theft of the van
is a 15-year-old Ajax boy.

campaign
encourages
residents
to test
smoke alarms
PICKERING -- Pickering Fire
Services is encouraging resi-
dents to test their smoke alarms
as part of the Push the Button
campaign.
A partnership between the
Office of the Fire Marshal and
TVOKids, Push the Button aims
to have as many smoke alarms
tested in as many homes as pos-
sible.
Kids at home will love permis-
sion to push the button to hear
if smoke alarms are working.
If the alarm doesn’t sound,
replace the batteries or alarm
immediately. Smoke alarms
that are more than 10 years old
should also be replaced.
After testing the smoke
alarms, kids are encouraged
to visit www.tvokids.com and
enter the number of alarms they
have tested into the interactive
smoke alarm.
That number will be added
into TVO’s Push the Button
counter.
Push the Button runs until
Sunday, March 11.

Fund medical care where
appropriate close to home
The Province needs to walk the talk in
terms of funding local health-care options,
making care and treatment as easily avail-
able and convenient as possible where
appropriate and affordable.
It’s an issue that was highlighted recent-
ly after our story on the Dialysis Manage-
ment Clinic on Kingston Road in Pickering.
Funded for eight dialysis stations, it has 12
and turns people away, including, recent-
ly, a man and prospective patient who
lives across the street.
“We’ve all been to hospitals, they’re
overcrowded and very busy,” patient and
Pickering resident Valerie Brettell said. “If
we make room by removing people who
aren’t sick it just makes sense, it’s not rock-
et science.”
After suffering kidney failure in 2010,
she received care in Toronto and then at
Oshawa’s Lakeridge Health. When a spot
opened up at the Pickering clinic, she
began receiving treatments there. Ms.
Brettell raves about the place and the level
of care she receives.
However the clinic has not had a funding
increase in four years even though it has
the available equipment and an 18-person
waiting list.
Carol Holtzer, a nurse and president of
the clinic, says the Province’s dialysis strat-
egy is mostly focused on hospitals.
“They always look at what hospitals need
but don’t necessarily take into consider-
ation what patients need,” she told us.
“Ontario has always looked at renal fail-
ure as an acute disease but it’s not, it’s a
chronic disease that people can live many
years with. The focus has been on hospi-
tal care but that may not always be what’s
best for the patient.”
Our vaunted health-care system is very
complex and the most expensive compo-
nent of the provincial budget.
Many criticized the Province’s introduc-
tion of Local Health Integration Networks
as a means of creating buffers between
Ontarians and the provincial government.
Perhaps, but the Province states it’s part of
the evolution of health care in the prov-
ince, a shift to a system that is “patient-
focused”.
“The ministry’s general direction is that
if services can be provided in the commu-
nity, including independent health facili-
ties, then that form of delivery should be
encouraged,” ministry spokesman David
Jensen said in an e-mail.
If this is the case, dialysis treatments,
which patients generally receive three
days a week for four to five hours, is a per-
fect example of how care can be provided,
more conveniently and cheaply, at places
such as the Dialysis Management Clinic.
Compared to our justice system, the court
of public opinion issues judgments in a swift
and harsh manner.
When judges issue verdicts that are at
odds with the court of public opinion, it can
feel like our legal system is failing us.
Take the case of the boy charged with the
robbery and assault of Mitchell Wilson.
Mitchell’s suicide last year was the culmi-
nation of the challenges he faced, includ-
ing struggling with muscular dystrophy, the
loss of his mother and bullying, including a
vicious robbery in November 2010.
Mitchell identified the accused in the rob-
bery and assault and police charged the
boy, but Mitchell was terrified of testifying
in court and took his own life.
Following his death, the case moved
forward with a judge ruling that Mitch-
ell’s statements to police were admissi-
ble in court. This week, she found those
statements weren’t enough to convict the
accused.
The general lack of reliability of eyewit-
ness evidence and the absence of an oppor-
tunity to test Mitchell’s observations tipped
the balance in favour of acquittal, Justice
Teresa Devlin said.
The verdict was not particularly surpris-
ing to those who have carefully followed the
case and in fact it was somewhat surprising
that the case had proceeded after Mitchell’s
death, as he was the only eyewitness.
However, to many people following the
verdict, it seemed a miscarriage of justice
and they took to Facebook, Twitter and the
comments pages on news sites to voice their
displeasure.
“Judge should be removed. No justice
here,” wrote one poster on durhamregion.
com’s Facebook page.
“I hope the judge can sleep well at night
in knowing she set free someone so cruel,”
wrote another person.
These comments and others expressed
via social media do a disservice to a judge
whose comments in the case were very
compassionate to Mitchell and his family.
“I hope that one day, the youths respon-
sible for these crimes will have the cour-
age to come forward and take responsibility
for their wrongdoing. I hope that they will
ask for, and receive, forgiveness,” she said.
“I also hope that with the end of this trial,
Mitchell Wilson’s family can find peace.”
In fact, this case shows why we don’t try
people in the court of public opinion.
Bullying is a terrible thing and the role it
played in Mitchell’s decision to take his own
life is frankly horrifying. Mitchell became
a symbol for many kids who had suffered
through bullying and there was the feeling
in the public that a conviction in the case
would at least help heal some of the hurt.
But as a judge, Justice Devlin was not
tasked with healing the hurt surrounding
Mitchell’s death, but on deciding guilt or
innocence based on the available evidence.
For our legal system to be fair and just, we
can’t compromise the standard of evidence
required to convict someone in a case, no
matter how heartbreaking the circumstanc-
es. That being said, Mitchell Wilson’s story
has been burned into our hearts and I sus-
pect the lessons about bullying that came
from it will help countless children in the
coming years.
And that means that despite the terrible
loss to the Wilson family, Durham children
have gained something.

DURHAM -- No question,
March came in like a lion. Two
days late, but is anything nor-
mal about this crazy winter?
The roaring woke me up around
2 a.m. Saturday, loud and omi-
nous even with a pillow pulled
over my head. Then I heard a
heavy thunk, and sat up, men-
tally scrambling for possible
causes.
TV reporters had warned
of an approaching “weather
bomb” and recommended tak-
ing in any items that might blow
around the yard. We didn’t have
anything loose like that, but I
instantly thought of tree limbs,
and then did the unthinkable.
Feeling like a coward for not
checking it out myself, I woke
my husband from a sound
sleep.
Five minutes later we were
both bundled up and drag-
ging fragrant evergreen boughs
off the driveway. A big branch
had snapped off a white pine,
taking down our bird feed-
ers in the process. Luckily, hit-
ting the wire had deflected the
limb from my car. Dennis stud-
ied the wildly waving trees over-
head and moved my vehicle to
the safest spot, where I found it
unscathed at first light.
With the winds howling all
morning long we were able to
watch the big pines behind our
house swaying and tossing with
each fierce gust. I stopped wor-
rying about trees coming down,
and became more and more
impressed with how tough they
were to withstand such shak-
ing and pummeling. Pine roots
spread out like fingers, grasping
at the earth. Oaks have great tap
roots that push down into the
soil, holding these mighty trees
in place -- likely why so many
survive to a ripe old age out on
the windswept prairies.
When the storm finally died
down, its howling was replaced
by the whine of chainsaws. We
ventured forth to find we’d lost
one cedar from our hedge, and
a neighbour up the road lost a
big spruce. All in all, we were
lucky.
A few degrees colder and the
storm could have brought freez-
ing rain or heavy snow, and
Ontario trees would have been
stiff and brittle instead of lim-
ber and flexible during all that
blowing and shaking.
Great horned owls, which start
nesting in January, weren’t so
lucky. I doubt that any stick nest
tucked in the top of a tall pine
could withstand such buffeting,
without the precious contents,
two large white eggs, spilling
out and tumbling to the ground.
Owlets in a nest at Oshawa’s
Second Marsh finally suc-
cumbed in a storm last spring,
after their parents had invested
long weeks incubating.
I spoke with a birder who’d
found the owl pair in Thickson’s
Woods perched together high in
a pine last Sunday. Not a good
sign. Normally one devoted
parent would be sitting on eggs,
while the other stood guard
not far off, ready to take on any
marauding crows.

DURHAM -- The kittens that
make their way to Second
Chance in Pickering rely on
generous animal lovers who will
open their homes to them.
Second Chance Wildlife Sanc-
tuary is one of many organiza-
tions that count on foster homes
to care for its animals. Second
Chance has a shelter but uses
foster homes for kittens, since
their immune systems are too
weak for them to live in the
shelter, as well as for cats with
special needs.
“For kittens to go into a foster
home, they learn, they social-
ize, they’re able to be with peo-
ple, learn to enjoy the touch,”
said Phyllis Healey, president of
Second Chance.
Other organizations such as
the Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue
rely completely on foster homes
for their operation to run.
“Foster homes are needed
year round, they are our life-
blood, without foster homes our
rescue would not exist,” Forgot-
ten Ones has posted on its web-
site.
Being a foster parent to a pet
is usually of no cost to the per-
son who opens their home.
“If you foster we will provide
the food, we provide the litter.
All we’re asking is to give them
love and a nice home,” said Ms.
Healey, adding the shelter also
covers vet bills that may arise.
Foster parent Terry L. Henry
Rudyk, in response to a ques-
tion I put on Facebook, said she
loves almost everything about
fostering except the part when
the animals are ready for adop-
tion and have to leave.
“It’s hard but so fulfilling
knowing that I helped a little
kitty have a good life compared
to no life,” she wrote. “I love
them all each one in their own
way and I get so much satisfac-
tion knowing they are going to
great homes to be loved for the
rest of their lives.”
Rachel Serjeant-Hunter said,
“I love the fact that I get to have
the privilege of making a good
dog a better dog in preparation
for a new home. It is a sad/glad
feeling to see them go.”
Ms. Healey said Second
Chance is always looking for
people the shelter can put on its
foster parent list. If you’re inter-
ested in fostering, call 905-649-
8282.

ten Ones, visit forgottenones.
ca. There are a number of other
local charities that require fos-
ter homes, and they are easy to
find online.

three seasons, this one as a mem-
ber of the Algoma Thunderbirds,
a much-deserved honour after he
was just one of two players in the
loop to break the 400-point mark,
while finishing the year with a
22.4 points per game average.
Still, the honour caught the
well-spoken 23 year old off
guard.
“It was really surprising. I
didn’t expect it,” Wilson said in
a phone interview earlier this
week. “I have a few teammates
that thought I should have been,
but I didn’t expect it at all.”
Wilson’s numbers support his
teammates’s feelings. In all but
four of 18 games this season he
scored at least 20 points for the
Thunderbirds and came just shy
of connecting on 50 per cent of
shots taken. In addition he fin-
ished second in the league in
three-point shooting, hitting a
shade over 41 percent of shots
from beyond the arc, while also
averaging six rebounds, three
assists and a steal per game.
And true to form, the humble
Wilson, who won the same OCAA
award two years ago as a mem-
ber of the Fleming Knights, was
quick to defer the credit when
asked about his successful sea-
son.
“I definitely credit my team-
mates for that. They put me in
positions to score. My game has
changed a lot since I played at
Fleming,” he said. “At Fleming
I played coast-to-coast and on
the fast break, but now my game
is more methodical. I play more
in the half court set so it’s really
about my teammates setting me
up to score off screens and pass-
es. They made my job pretty easy.
All I had to do was knock down
open shots and lay-ups.”
As for how much more Wilson
will play, well that seems up in
the air. Having been through a
major surgery on his right shoul-
der before dealing with some
issues with the left one this year,
not to mention the pain in his
ankles, Wilson believes the time
has likely come for him to give up
playing the game he loves.
“That’s the golden question I
have been getting a lot,” he said of
what the future holds. “As of right
now I’ve talked to my coach and
I’ve told him I won’t be returning.
I am not sure if I’ll play basket-
ball again after this. My body is
broken down. I have issues with
my shoulder and ankle problems
so I think right now I am going to
be done with the game of basket-
ball and just focus on finishing
school, working part time and
starting life.”
Wilson said that on at least four
occasions this season, his left
shoulder popped out, and while
he was able to play through the
pain, the mental anguish of the
situation became a lot to deal
with.
“I don’t really care about the
pain. It’s just that when it comes
out it takes a little while to get my
confidence back to be aggressive.
That’s the toughest part about it,
just staying mentally strong,” he
said.
If this is indeed it for Wilson on
the court, he leaves the game feel-
ing pretty good about his accom-
plishments, but again feeling the
need to share the spotlight with
those closest and most impor-
tant to him.
Wilson thanked his teammates
once more, the coaches at Algo-
ma for another chance to play,
his parents for their unwavering
support and his former coach at
Fleming and still good friend Bill
Crowdis.
As for what the next step in his
life holds, Wilson still has a cou-
ple of years of school remain-
ing, but he hopes to find a career
working with children once his
education is completed, while
a foray into the coaching world
isn’t out of the question either.
“It would be awesome to be
a full-time head coach. That is
something I would like to do,”
said Wilson.

Pickering Panthers volunteer honoured with award
karen sheppard
cited as oJhl
volunteer of year
DURHAM -- The Ontario Junior
Hockey League announced that
Karen Sheppard, who is a volun-
teer with both the Pickering Pan-
thers and Whitby Fury, has been
named the inaugural recipient of
the OJHL Volunteer of the Year
Award.
Sheppard is what one would
refer to as the epitome of a vol-
unteer, offering her services to
numerous associations around
the Durham Region.
She was originally a volunteer
with the now defunct Oshawa
Dodgers Intercounty Base-
ball League club when she was
approached with the idea of
helping out with the Pickering
Panthers and has been a staple at
their admission gate since 2007,
giving fans a friendly face when
they come to the rink.
When then-GM Frank Robin-
son moved to Whitby to take over
the same post with the Fury prior
to the 2008-09 season, he asked
Sheppard if she would like to
volunteer with the Fury and she
quickly agreed.
Considering her existing rela-
tionships in Pickering, Sheppard
remained with both clubs at the
same time since their primary
home dates fell on different days
of the week.
The OJHL Volunteer of the Year
is awarded to the person who has
volunteered for a club, or clubs,
and who has consistently gone
above and beyond the call of duty
throughout the regular season.
Past experience and time served
was taken into consideration.

OTTAWA -- Aquille Stephens (10) from Pine Ridge Secondary School went for the
rebound during the team’s first game at the AAAA OFSSA basketball championships
in Ottawa on Monday. The Pumas won their game against the Louis Riel Rebelles,
one of the two host schools, 54-44 as Jamal Reynolds led the way with 28 points. On
Tuesday, the No. 4-seeded Pumas beat JF Ross 52-40, led by 21 points from Reynolds,
to advance to the quarter-finals, but their run ended there with a 52-47 loss to St.
Michael’s, the No. 5-seed.

Jenner happy to be back
Captain returns after
concussion issues
shawn Cayley
scayley@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Despite the uncertainty he
faced during a month-long battle with
concussion symptoms, Boone Jenner was
always confident that he would return to
the Oshawa Generals lineup before the sea-
son was out, and preferably in time to aid
the playoff push.
Others weren’t so confident, so it was
certainly a surprise to most when Jenner
did just that, returning to the Oshawa line-
up last weekend for three games, includ-
ing two wins to allow for some breathing
room in the Eastern Conference playoff
race heading into the final two weeks of the
campaign.
His appearance in the lineup caught many
off guard after coach Gary Agnew had all
but counted out the Generals captain some
two weeks ago. At the time, Agnew said the
team was proceeding as if the Dorchester
native and second-round draft pick of the
Columbus Blue Jackets would not be back
before the season was out.
In Agnew’s defence, it was a reasonable
assessment of the situation. Jenner hadn’t
played since getting his bell rung on Jan.
28 against the Brampton Battalion and it
was thought not much progress was being
made towards a return.
“I think, like, everyone knows (with) a
concussion thing ... you never know with
those,” Jenner said on Sunday, after help-
ing the Generals to a win over the London
Knights. “I just hoped for the best and rest-
ed as well as I could and tried to get better. I
think I did that and it’s good to be back.”
Going back to the play that knocked him
out of the lineup for a 12-game stretch --
one in which the Generals went 6-5-1 --
Jenner didn’t recall too many specifics, but
admitted he knew something was amiss
immediately.
“The play happened so quick,” he said in
looking back on his first documented con-
cussion. “I just know I took a pretty good
blow to the head and I knew right away
something wasn’t right.”
The time off was difficult to process for
Jenner, who couldn’t be happier to be back
now and hopefully leave the head injury
issues in the past.
“It feels great,” he said of being back on
the ice. “Especially this time of year when
the team is battling and it’s getting down
to the wire. It was tough watching for that
month of February, but to come back and
help the guys, it’s awesome.”
Jenner and the Generals are back in
action this weekend, coincidently against
the Battalion, as they make a Sunday after-
noon visit to the Powerade Centre.
