PICKERING -- Emotions were high as Pickering students
received a first-hand lesson in the horrors of native resi-
dential schools from a former student.
Native elder Cliff Standingready visited St. Mary Catho-
lic Secondary School to speak to students about his expe-
rience at residential schools as part of Project of Heart,
which raises awareness about the Canadian Indian resi-
dential school system created by the Department of Indian
Affairs to assimilate Canada’s aboriginal population.
The last residential school was closed by the government
in 1996.

Region pays
annual fee of
$100,000 for
zero business deals
DURHAM -- The Region is going to give
the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance
another chance.
A joint Regional council committee has
decided to again spend $100,000 with the
GTMA, in the hope the agency will direct
new business investment towards Dur-
ham.
By their own admission, GTMA offi-
cials, when speaking to Durham council,
have admitted they haven’t brought a sin-
gle business to the Region. Durham has
been a member of the GTMA since the
late 1990s.
Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond
said, “The problem with the GTMA is
we’ve heard the same tune for so many
years. It’s the same tune and it’s on its
14th verse by now.”
Oshawa Councillor Bob Chapman
noted, “It’s saying right here they haven’t
done anything for us and give us the
money.
“Why do we need them for $100,000?”
he asked.
Economic Development Director Kathy
Weiss said, “We’re of the opinion to do
the next 12 months and assess it after
that.
“We’re in their back pocket and will be
in their back pocket, making sure Dur-
ham Region is represented,” she added.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
supported staying with the agency.
“These folks go to places we hadn’t
planned on going. These people go and
we get a list (of potential contacts). The
list is important,” he stated.
“I know the results of the GTMA haven’t
been what any of us wanted,” he said.
“Kathy and the economic development
department are following these people
closely.”
Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, the Region’s
representative on the board, said all leads
are given to all GTMA members. “Other
regions have capitalized on that,” he said.
The full Regional council will consider
the matter on June 6.

Regional council
approves $113
million in debt
towards Durham
Region incinerator
construction costs
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Opponents of the contro-
versial Clarington incinerator say there
is still time for politicians to back out of
the project.
On Wednesday morning concerned
residents urged regional council to
reject taking out $113 million in debt to
help cover Durham’s $214-million share
of construction costs for the energy-
from-waste facility -- and abandon the
contract with Covanta.
“Things change,” said speaker Louis
Bertrand, pointing out that waste diver-
sion is increasing, companies are reduc-
ing packaging and the public is reducing
and reusing more.
“This brings up the possibility that
there might not be enough waste mate-
rial to burn.”
Doug Anderson, president of the citi-
zen advocacy group DurhamCLEAR,
said “the three Rs are finally sinking
in,” noting Durham’s per capita waste
dropped 14 per cent between 2006 and
2011.
He said that doesn’t gel with Covan-
ta’s requirement for Durham to supply a
minimum of 100,000 tonnes of waste per
year, suggesting the Region has “arti-
ficially” been keeping the amount of
residual waste within that range for the
past few years.
“They are basically being held back by
the fact that the incinerator has put a
box around them,” Mr. Anderson said.
Councillors were quick to take offence
to that statement.
“Are you insinuating that staff is doing
something sinister?” asked Pickering
Councillor Bill McLean.
Mr. Anderson responded that Region
staff is “doing what they have to do, because
you’ve agreed to build an incinerator.”
Speakers at the June 6 meeting argued
that the Region can still wiggle out of its
contract with Covanta, citing a section
of the agreement that says the owner
can terminate the deal “at any time and
for any reason whatsoever” with written
notice.
They asked politicians to request an
updated business case as well as cost
estimates for suspending or terminating
the project.
A motion to vote on the $113-million
incinerator debt separately from a larger
$140-million package of debentures lost
by a vote of 15-10.
A subsequent motion asking for an
updated report on the incinerator busi-
ness case lost by 19 to 6, with many
council members pointing out that an
update from staff is expected in Octo-
ber.
Council voted 20-5 to approve the
debenture package.
Region staff has stressed the need to
move forward with the debenture now,
to take advantage of low borrowing
costs.
A recent report says the Claring-
ton incinerator is on budget and on
schedule -- but it’s still costing more
than originally projected.
Project costs have jumped from the
$272.4-million figure outlined in 2009 to
a new total of $283.9 million.
The $11.5-million increase includes
inflation, added host community agree-
ment costs, HST and utility connec-
tions.

gready, who attended residential schools
from age three to 11.
“The Canadian government said we will
take the Indian out of the child and we’ll
have no more Indian problem. That’s like
me saying you’re going to come and live
on a reserve whether you like it or not,
otherwise I’ll put your mother in jail.”
The elder recounted seeing various
abuses afflicted on children in residential
schools, including the whipping of him-
self and his cousin after a failed escape
attempt.
The Truth and Reconciliation Com-
mittee, an independent body created as
a component of the Indian Residential
Schools Settlement Agreement to provide
an opportunity for former students to
share their stories, has found numerous
instances of physical, verbal and sexual
assault.
“There is a direct link between what
happened in residential schools and
the dysfunction on reservations today,”
he said, noting younger generations are
affected by the trauma suffered by elders.
“Imagine being told for eight years that
you were lousy, dirty, stupid, evil. What
would you think?”
More than 70 students from St. Mary’s
art, history and native studies classes took
part in the project by decorating wooden
tiles in memory of victims of residential
schools.
The TRC estimates that up to 50 per cent
of the 150,000 children who went through
the school system died, often falling vic-
tim to disease.
Suicide and hypothermia or accidents
that occurred during escape attempts
were also common.
Native studies teacher Alanna Brown
said she brought Project of Heart to her
students because the history of residen-
tial schools is something every student
should learn.
“They were really shocked and sad when
they found out about residential schools,
a lot didn’t even know they existed,” she
explained.
“They were excited to be able to make
a contribution through this project and
do something positive because when you
hear about this history, it’s really emo-
tional and hard to process.”
Leah Odorico, a Grade 12 native stud-
ies student, found the project offered her
a new perspective of native history.
“I think it’s a really good idea because
it’s bringing recognition to what hap-
pened and people can get another look
at history,” she explained. “People should
know what happened, I’ve definitely
gained a new perspective after this.”

Giving and receiving: Durham
officer knows benefits of CPR
Durham Regional Police Constable John
Cadorin knows better than most the ben-
efits of CPR training.
In a span of just two years, the Durham
resident has been on both the receiving
end of life-saving cardiopulmonary resus-
citation, and on the giving end.
Const. Cadorin sprang into action on a
recent Sunday morning while at an Ajax
soccer game and conducted CPR on a
player who suffered cardiac distress, stay-
ing with the man until paramedics arrived
and took over. Though he’d never been
forced into a situation where he had to
perform the life-saving chest compres-
sions, his training guided him through the
incident and led to a positive outcome:
the elderly gentleman who was felled by
a heart attack is now out of hospital and
convalescing.
The engaging irony in Const. Cadorin’s
heroic effort is that he was also saved by
CPR when he collapsed two years ago after
a lengthy run.
His wife was fortunately at his side when
the life-long athlete collapsed in his garage
and she provided chest compressions
while waiting for emergency responders to
arrive.
The lesson in Const. Cadorin’s story is
that CPR, a relatively simple procedure
that is easy to learn, saves lives. To that
end, we encourage every Durham Region
resident to consider investing the time and
money -- fees are relatively inexpensive
-- to learn the skills required so they can
act quickly and knowledgeably if an emer-
gency arises. Courses are offered through
a variety of Durham Region agencies and
organizations and at various times to
accommodate busy schedules.
Think about it: a Durham Region man is
alive, able to touch and share his days with
those closest to him, literally given a new
lease on life, because of one man with CPR
training and a willingness to help.
As Const. Cadorin noted this week: “You
never know when you’re going to use it.
It could be your dad, your brother, your
mom...”
On behalf of your dad, your brother and
your mom, take a lesson and learn CPR.
And give a thought to Const. Cadorin. Like
him, you could be called to service in an
emergency and will be able to offer vital
assistance. Or, like him, you could one day
be on the receiving end.
Wouldn’t you want someone nearby with
knowledge, training and a willingness to
help?
The case of accused killer Luka Rocco
Magnotta is bizarre, gruesome and inex-
tricably linked to online attention-seek-
ing.
Magnotta is accused of killing Chinese
student Lin Jun and then mailing his
body parts to Canadian political par-
ties. He was arrested this week in an
Internet cafe in Berlin while reportedly
surfing the Internet about himself.
Mr. Magnotta has not been con-
victed of the killing. He’s bound for
trial after he’s extradited from Ger-
many. Lin Jun’s murder didn’t
just occur in a blood-soaked
Montreal apartment; it
happened in Toronto
or New York or Paris,
or anywhere people
clicked to watch
video of the mur-
der. It was posted
on a Canadian-
based website
and reported-
ly hundreds of thousands of people have
seen it.
The site’s owner has since voluntarily
removed the video, but it’s still available
on other sites. The video depicts Lin’s
murder and the indignities committed to
his body after his death. Last week when
I searched the term Magnotta on Twit-
ter, to get the latest on the then-fugitive, I
noticed there were numerous tweets link-
ing to the video. Some of the tweets almost
dared people to watch it.
For a brief moment, I considered click-
ing and viewing it, but I ultimately didn’t.
Curiosity is part of human nature, but for
someone who doesn’t even like to watch
fake gore in horror movies, I knew it would
be too much.
One person who viewed it wrote a letter
to the editor to the National Post, here’s
part of it: “According to various news
articles, the video has been viewed more
than 300,000 times in the last week. I am
ashamed to admit that I was one of those
viewers. The video is more horrendous
than portrayed in many news articles ...
The images are, without a doubt, the most
horrendous images I have ever seen.
“The police are fighting valiantly to have
copies of this video removed from the
Internet.
“As a lawyer, I would suggest that it is
imperative that the courts support them
in this fight. These types of videos have an
impact on the overall moral psyche of soci-
ety, desensitizing us to ever more obscene
acts.”
Given the global attention to this case, I
don’t think it’s possible to recall this video.
It will go down as a true crime legend with
people’s curiosity driving them to seek it
out for years to come with the indignities
Lin Jun suffered never truly ending until
the video is forgotten. I only hope that
the letter writer is wrong and we never
become desensitized to it.

This is part two of a three-part Metroland Spe-
cial Project on school fundraising, and how
private money is widening the opportunities
gap between the have and have-not schools
across Ontario.
DURHAM -- Parents across Ontario are feel-
ing unprecedented pressure to open their
wallets for school fundraising as families shell
out money for everything from crayons and
Kleenex to computers and playground equip-
ment.
“Today there’s a bigger burden than ever
before,” says Progressive Conservative educa-
tion critic Lisa MacLeod. “Parents are paying
over half a billion bucks out of their own pock-
ets each year for essential learning tools.”
Bake sales, car washes and pizza lunches
generate tens of millions of dollars in fund-
raising that is supposed to enrich -- not
replace -- public funding. And “the amount of
extra monies that are being raised for school
purposes is steadily increasing,” the Ontario
Public School Boards’ Association says. “The
trend is undeniable.”
Parents do “have a role to play in actually
augmenting the school budget,” says Annie
Kidder, executive director of People for Edu-
cation, a parent-led advocacy group. But
she believes the education system is taking
advantage of parents’ willingness and ability
to be involved, assuming they will always be
there to put in that extra time and money.
Many parents agree.
School boards know parents will fundraise,
says Oshawa parent Steve Rockbrune, who
believes parents will work hard to give their
kids the best they can provide.
“That’s why they put the squeeze on us.”
Mr. Rockbrune was surprised when his
daughter, who attends Harmony Public
School, came home at the start of the year
with a note requesting donations of Kleenex
and glue, basic classroom staples.
Parents say drumming up dollars isn’t the
most popular task.
“Nobody really ever wants to take on the
job of fundraising because it’s a lot of work,”
says Catherine Scott, fundraising committee
co-chairwoman at Roch Carrier Elementary
School in Ottawa.
“And yet we need classroom resources, we
need new technology, we need to keep our
school grounds up, spend money on paint for
hopscotch and four square in the playground
-- and there’s no money in the school budget
for those things.”
• In the York District School Board, the Bay-
view Hill Elementary school council in Rich-
mond Hill runs a weekly pizza lunch pro-
gram, the main force behind the school’s
success at fundraising. About 500 kids par-
ticipate in the program, and on average it
pumps $40,000 into the council’s revenue
each year. The council also runs an annual
danceathon, diversity night and barbecue,
which has allowed it, among other things, to
build a main playground and an enclosed
kindergarten play structure in the past seven
years. In just one council meeting alone ear-
lier this school year, the council approved
$81,000 worth of items teachers requested for
the classroom. The wish lists included: LCD
mounted projectors, Macintosh computers,
iPads, iTune gift cards, DVDs for the library,
stacking cups, kidney tables and yoga kits for
the primary students.
• As of March, Ottawa’s Broadview Pub-
lic School had raised more than $116,000
through an e-waste drop-off, magazine fund-
raiser, letter drive, movie night and pizza and
sub lunches for a complete yard renewal. The
previous school council set aside $30,000
and the school received a number of corpo-
rate donations, including three $10,000 con-
tributions. With a goal of $150,000, the school
council hopes to purchase two new play
structures to replace the current unsafe play-
ground and create an outdoor learning class-
room for the school of more than 800 stu-
dents.
• Parkview Public School in Unionville raised
nearly $37,000 in 2010-11 thanks to a maga-
zine drive, taxable donations, a danceathon
and an annual fun fair, silent auction and bar-
becue. These funds helped the school buy
butterfly kits, microscopes, stage lighting, lap-
tops, a parade float, classroom cubbies, read-
ing tables and fans. This year, the teacher wish
list of about $25,000 included musical instru-
ments, SMART Boards, novel sets, numeracy
and literacy centres and walkie-talkies.
• St. Joseph Catholic School in Hamilton
reports $192,000 in fundraising for the 2010-
11 school year. The school is working toward
a $400,000 fundraising goal to transform
some of its land into an eco-friendly outdoor
classroom for studying and socializing. Other
examples of how fundraised money was
spent include $2,500 for math manipulatives
and new books for the book room.
• Blessed Sacrament in Hamilton raised
$21,000 last year. Proceeds from its school
runathon this year went toward air-condi-
tioning, additional gym equipment and stu-
dent-based initiatives.
• St. Vincent Catholic School in Halton raised
$84,000 last year. One of its fundraising ini-
tiatives was a danceathon that generated
$14,600. The school invested in its music pro-
gram, repairing and replacing instruments,
music charts, cultural programs (in-school
workshops, author visits and performances)
book club kits and four SMART Boards.
Many parents say they are feeling
the pinch with schools continu-
ally asking for more money.
It can seem endless, says Greg Weiler, a
father of two at the primary level and local
president for the Elementary Teachers’ Fed-
eration of Ontario in Waterloo.
“I can’t think of a week where there isn’t
some fundraising initiative going on. They
are constant and frequent,” Mr. Weiler says.
“It puts an unrealistic expectation on par-
ents and family and the community.”
NDP education critic Peter Tabuns
believes the government relies on parents to
fundraise.
“You almost think they quietly approve.
This is a way of reducing the pressure on
them for proper funding of education.
Leave it to the parents. The parents will raise
the money and won’t squawk about the fact
that their school isn’t getting enough. Life
goes on. But it means a lot of children get
shortchanged.”
The ETFO says school fundraising lets the
provincial government “shirk” its respon-
sibility to properly fund schools and puts
pressure on everyone in the system.
“The funds have to come from some-
where,” says Durham ETFO local president
Gerard O’Neill. “People have to go out and
raise them.”
Mr. O’Neill says filling this funding gap
often comes down to teachers, many of
whom end up paying for essential classroom
items, such as pencils and paper, out of their
own pocket. Some manage the entire fund-
raising procedure, which takes time away
from their No. 1 priority -- teaching.
School councils are constantly find-
ing new ways to raise money. At Terry Fox
Public School in Ajax, school community
council chairwoman Sandra Fletcher has
become familiar but not quite comfortable
with soliciting friends and family.
“The SCC relies on parents and grandpar-
ents and sisters and uncles and cousins,”
she says.
This has been the case since the school
opened its doors 10 years ago. The gym
didn’t have a sound system and the library
didn’t have enough books. After years of
fundraising to add these items, Ms. Fletcher
said she’s found parents have reached fund-
raising fatigue.
“I actually think there’s a lot of pressure on
the parents, and we, in the last four or five
years, have tried consciously not to put that
pressure on the parents,” she says, adding
a danceathon and pizza lunches make up
most of the fundraising.
The school council of St. Patrick’s Catholic
High School in Ottawa doesn’t do any fund-
raising for the school. Instead, it lets the stu-
dents decide how to raise funds and how to
use the money.
“It’s hard to get volunteers, so it would fall
on a few people’s shoulders,” says Joanne
MacEwan, chairwoman of the school coun-
cil and co-chairwoman of the Catholic
School Parents’ Association.

Leaving it up to the students teaches them
responsibility and keeps parents from burn-
ing out, Ms. MacEwan says. But there is a
limit, she adds.
“Sometimes it can be too much. We cau-
tion all our school councils -- make sure you
go to your community and make sure that
you’re getting a feel for how they’re feeling
about fundraising.”
However, not everyone agrees that the
problem is a funding shortfall. Joe Allin,
chairman of the Durham District School
Board, believes current government fund-
ing is sufficient and that fundraising is a long-
standing practice in schools that will take
place no matter what.
“I’m not convinced it’s associated with
need,” Mr. Allin says. “That isn’t to say there
aren’t needs. I’d say this activity would go on
regardless of the level of funding that comes
into the schools.”
Fundraising is a way for parents to be active
and feel like they’re contributing to their
child’s school, says Ms. Kidder, of People for
Education.
“I think it’s a really nice, understandable
way to be involved in our kids’ school.”
The types of fundraisers being held, the
amounts raised and the items bought
differ across the province:
• In Woodbridge, St. Clare Catholic School,
located in a well-to-do neighbourhood,
spent funds on school improvements, arts
enrichment, security cameras and healthy-
living initiatives such as yoga in recent
years, according to a school council letter to
the community. “Fundraising is so impor-
tant to our school,” said the school council.
“Through it, our children are able to access
many enhanced resources and programs
that only serve to enrich their educational
experience at school.”
• Rosebank Road Public School in Pickering
purchased 11 fans for the school at a cost of
$497.08 in 2010-11.
• At Holy Cross Catholic School in the Duf-
ferin-Peel Catholic board, the council spent
$800 on fans for a portable.
There’s no cut-and-dried answer to the pit-
falls of fundraising.
Sheila Perry spent 30 years working in the
education sector in a variety of roles, includ-
ing principal, teacher, educator, consultant
and administrator. With a broad perspec-
tive on fundraising from within the Ottawa-
Carleton District School Board, she says the
issue of private dollars funding public educa-
tion remains a dilemma.
“That’s the key, it’s a public system,” says
Ms. Perry, who is now retired. “The key is
to offer things across the board, an equal
opportunity as much as you can. The dilem-
ma becomes when you just can’t or the price
is too prohibitive. That’s where you get into
the fundraising.”
Muddying the issue further is determining
the must-have items.
For example, the Ministry of Education
doesn’t consider technology an essential
item for schools. In fact, it slashed the budget
for that line item by $25 million for the 2011-
12 school year.
In turn, the Ministry’s guidelines deem it
acceptable for schools to acquire technology
with fundraised dollars.
But some in the education sector believe
technology is indeed a necessity.
“We can’t go to our parent councils or
school councils and keep asking for money
for what could arguably be described as a
21st-century learning tool in public educa-
tion,” says Catherine Fife, president of Ontar-
io Public School Boards’ Association. “So let’s
find creative ways to address that funding
shortfall and not go to fundraising.”
Part 3 will look at the possible solutions to
close this education gap.
Fundraising initiatives differ from school to school

FOREVER YOUNG INFORMATION
Living outdoors
By Joseph Salemi
The biggest trend for 2012 is the creation of the
outdoor living space. Many homeowners are discovering
the joys of dining, relaxing and entertaining in spaces
landscaped especially for these purposes. There are
many ways to achieve this in just a few steps:
• Plan your outdoor space. It’s really important to
decide what use you will have for your new outdoor
living space. Will it be entertaining friends and family
or an intimate personal oasis? Will this be the same use
in five years time?
• A trellis, awning, or pavilion serves as a great
cover from the weather elements while providing some
privacy.
• Add a comfortable, weather-resistant seating area.
Wicker chairs and loveseats with weather-resistant
cushions are leading sales at local garden centres.
• Be sure to include a subtle container garden full
of your favourite lush greens and summer florals to
complement your outdoor living experience.
Every homeowner wants a unique and sustainable
landscaped property. Here are other notable trends for
spring and summer 2012.
• Container gardens offer variety and solutions.
Clustering multiple pots, vertical gardening, placing
pots in the flowerbeds, or creating a container garden
in your cozy backyard or balcony.
• Take the indoors outdoors. Outdoor living
continues with kitchens, fireplaces, family rooms and
more weatherproof furniture, sculpture and art.
• Focus on front yard landscaping. What a perfect
way to show off your home by putting water features,
fences, courtyards and patios out in front for all to see.
Not to mention adding the curb appeal and increased
property values.
• Irrigation systems are effective and efficient. These
systems use drip tubes installed below the soil to water
the plant’s roots. They avoid wasting water and are
growing in popularity.
• New decks and patios are popular. Weatherproof
materials and wood alternatives are in demand and a
wider selection of beautiful natural products, including
tumbled stones and bricks, are paving the way.
• Water-wise landscape planning is key. Wise water
use through plant selection, garden design, and proper
irrigation and maintenance is more than a passing fad.
The right plant in the right place will help with this.
• Exterior lighting extends garden enjoyment
activities. Hard-wired lighting illuminating the garden,
trees and the house sheds light on nighttime activities
while enhancing security. Solar walkway lighting is a
great way to accentuate your outdoor living space.
• Water feature ideas are making a splash. Several
water features throughout the yard, pond-less features
and fountains enhance sight and sound and reduce and
absorb noise pollution.
• Planning is where it’s at. Homeowners are
researching garden plans on their own or hiring
professionals to create well-designed yards to fit their
lifestyles and their budgets.
• Environmentally sensitive gardens are in.
Chemically dependent gardens are out. This trend
grows every year. Organic product sales are up 200 per
cent in the last five years.

Kavita Jagasia understands that colons and colonoscopies and screening tests for bowel
cancer may not be the most appealing topics of conversation. But they’re something she’s been
talking about plenty recently.
After her own run-in with colon cancer a few years ago, she hopes that telling her story will
help increase awareness of the importance of screening and early diagnosis.
Jagasia had not been screened for colon cancer when her 2008 diagnosis resulted from
testing after symptoms – blood in the stool – appeared. The bad news was cancer but the good
news was that it was in an early stage and treatable.
“I was lucky that it was caught in the early stages,” she says. “Had I been luckier if I had
taken an FOBT (screening fecal occult blood test) or gone for a colonoscopy prior to being
symptomatic? Who knows?” she says today.
But Dr. Heather Bryant, vice-president for cancer control with the Canadian Partnership
Against Cancer, a federally funded pan-country program to accelerate control of the disease,
says the majority of deaths from colon cancer are in patients who have already shown
symptoms.
A recent survey to gauge Canadians’ awareness of colon-cancer screening tests showed that
more than half believe, incorrectly, that people should be checked only after experiencing
symptoms, Bryant says.
The good news, from the survey that polled more than 4,000 Canadians, is that awareness
initiatives have been working and half of Canadians aged 50 to 74 have been screened for colon
cancer, a significant increase over previous statistics, although it’s still lower than screening
rates for other cancers like breast and cervical.
“The good news is that uptake is picking up, but that didn’t happen by happy accident,”
Bryant says. “Nor will continued development and use of the screening test happen if we just
sit back. It does need purposeful work.”
Part of that work involves “colonversations,” a tool kit resource designed to get people
talking about colon-cancer screening. “Really, it involves just trying to give people the tools,
ways of talking about this with those they know,” she says.
According to Jagasia, that’s a tool that seems to work. After her cancer experience, she says
her family and friends “all of a sudden woke up. They had been instructed by their doctors to
go for testing but had procrastinated. After they heard about my case, they promptly went and
got themselves tested.”
It’s also given doctors the tools to start a conversation with patients, Bryant says. “When
we first started with colorectal cancer screening, a lot of physicians believed it would be
difficult to persuade patients to do this and, as a result, were a little reluctant to even start the
conversation.” However, it’s now evident that people are less embarrassed than they thought
and doctors are picking up the pace and recommending the screening.
It’s important for people to realize that it’s not a difficult thing to do, Bryant adds. Initial
screening is done with non-invasive at-home screening kits that require users to smear a bit of
stool onto a piece of paper, putting a sample into a tube and send it away to be tested for the
presence of blood that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Colonoscopy, a more intensive test, would be done if those home tests showed any signs
of blood, if there were additional risk factors such as family history of colon cancer, or if
symptoms started to occur, but in most cases it would not be recommended for primary
screening, she says.
It’s also important for people to realize the value of early diagnosis, Bryant stresses. In 2011,
an estimated 22,200 Canadians were diagnosed with colon cancer and 8,900 died of it.
The survival rate is improving but “the really great news,” Bryant says, is that those who
survive the first two years after diagnosis, when they reach the five-year mark, have the same
chance of surviving the next five years as someone who’s never had a diagnosis.
More information about colon cancer screening is available at colonversation.ca.
Boomers can take steps to ensure early diagnosis of colon
cancer by participating in regular screenings By Ellen Ashton-Haiste

DURHAM -- It’s that time of year again,
when turtles are looking for a safe place
to lay their eggs.
According to the Ministry of Natu-
ral Resources, female turtles are often
killed seeking a safe place for their
eggs.
Durham resident Romani Bays
recently moved a couple of turtles out
of harm’s way and into a grassy area.
One, a snapping turtle, was severe-
ly injured, so she put it in her car and
took it to the Kawartha Turtle Trauma
Centre, where it’s now being cared for.
The KTTC operates a hospital for
injured wild turtles. Once healed these
turtles are released back into the wild.
According to the KTTC, seven of the
eight species of Ontario turtles are list-
ed as species at risk. Less than one per
cent of eggs make it to adulthood, so
every turtle’s ability to reproduce over
many decades is crucial.
The ministry notes on its website that
off-road vehicles are also often the cul-
prit of turtle deaths, and can destroy
their nests.
So please take care around these pre-
cious critters at this time of year.
Here’s what the KTTC says to do if
you see a turtle crossing the road:
If it’s safe for you, gently move it in
the direction it’s going. Do not handle
the turtle any more than is necessary.
Once you have moved it across the
DURHAM -- The photo Carol Smith of Whitby e-mailed me
filled the frame -- of a gorgeous, gaudy insect with great vel-
vety wings decorated in a variety of orange, red, cream, brown
and black. She and her husband, Brian, had found it on a tray of
plants at a garden centre in Beaverton. I wasn’t at all surprised
they thought it was a butterfly -- one of the biggest, most beauti-
ful butterflies imaginable.
Though out and about in bright daylight, it wasn’t a butterfly,
but a moth. A giant silkworm moth, four species of which live in
North America. It was a cecropia, the largest of all.
I studied the image in wonder, admiring the bold
orange bands crossing the frosted dark wings, the pale
cream crescents edged with red, the white scallops
and barring on the borders. The red-and-white-band-
ed body, white collar and bright orange legs. And the
elegant plumed antennae, so important for cecropias
finding one another in the annual mating game of
this most amazing of insects.
“I’ve never seen so large a butterfly,” Carol
wrote. “I’m trying to be conservative, but I believe
its wingspan may have been six inches.”
Sure enough, field guides say that female
cecropias can measure nearly six inches
across. Their bodies are bigger than males,
given the eggs they carry and lay on leaves of host trees, includ-
ing maple, wild cherry, alder, birch and willow.
The emerging black, bristly little caterpillars grow up into
smooth green four-inch-long ones, with blue and yellow knobs,
before they weave their mummy-sleeping-bag cocoons.
Lloyd and Beth Hanna of Oshawa carefully tended a cecropia
in their yard over the winter, capturing its miraculous transfor-
mation on camera and sharing it with me, to my delight.
I was already pumped up about cecropias, and wishing I could
see one myself, when a neighbour came to the door all aflutter
this weekend. By a stroke of luck, a pair of the giant moths hap-
pened to be mating in another neighbour’s backyard, totally
oblivious to human observers. So I was able to view two of these
beautiful insects up close, in living colour.
The wings of one, especially, were badly worn and tattered,
suggesting a lot of flying and flapping had been done in its search
for a mate. Adult cecropias don’t feed, but focus exclusively on
breeding. Females emit strong pheromones that males detect
with their supersize feathery antennae, following the scent to its
source.

With work responsibilities and e-mails increasingly spilling over into our home time and
the demands of after-school activities, homework and housework, it's hard to squeeze quality
family time into an overloaded day.
Yet, according to author and family expert Kathy Buckworth, the demands of our fast-
paced, digitally connected lives shouldn't stop us from finding time for family togetherness.
Put ‘together time’ back
into your busy day
“One of the secrets is finding
opportunities to connect with our
kids or spouse in the context of our
busy, mobile, plugged-in ways,”
says Buckworth. She offers five
ways of putting the family back on
the daily agenda:
• Take two minutes out of the
crazy morning routine to sit and
snuggle with your child.
• Use mobile electronics to help
to inspire a cuddle. Download a
favourite movie, show or video
game onto a tablet and snuggle up
to watch or play together.
• Bring cozy things on the go.
Make sure clothes are soft and
fresh-smelling and bring along
your kids' favourite blanket when
you leave home so you're ready
to get cuddled in unexpected
moments.
• Make cooking time, together
time. Take advantage of your
slow cooker to have dinner slowly
simmering while you relax and
snuggle with a child.
• Create a reading space and
cozy up to share some fun stories.

moments visit: getsnuggled.com.

The heat can get the better of you during the summer months making you feel sluggish and forgetful. It looks like mom was right about taking fish oils. An omega-3 essential fatty acid supplement can help with mental acuity and staying focused, especially during the lazy summer months. Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids are crucial for brain, skin, muscle, joint and heart health, and taking a supplement is the best way to get these vital oils, as the body cannot produce them on its own. Naturopath, Dr. Brenda Watson points out that “Over 7,000 studies on omega-3 fatty acids seem to support the fact that virtually everyone should be using fish oils on a daily basis. More information can be obtained at renewlife.ca, but here, from Dr. Watson, are the top ten reasons for taking an omega-3”. 1. Arthritis and Inflammatory Conditions The powerful anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 oils from fish help reduce stiffness in joints and help relieve joint and muscle pain. 2. Attention Deficit Disorder and Memory Recent research reveals that omega-3's, specifically DHA, help increase focus and memory retention in children and adults. 3. Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and Heart Disease Omega-3 oils promote healthy cholesterol levels in the body by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and raise good cholesterol (HDL) levels. Clinical research also reveals reductions in blood pressure with the intake of omega-3 fatty acids. 4. Depression and Mood Regulation Regular supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids helps to elevate mood and lessen depression and anxiety. High
potency fish oil with added vitamin D is very useful in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder or the “winter blues”. 5. Digestive System Health Regular omega-3 supplementation helps to soothe and lubricate the bowel, ease elimination and support overall digestive health. 6. Healthy Eyes Fish oil supplements reduce the risk of age related vision problems including macular degeneration. The DHA found in fish oil is important for the visual development in infants. 7. Diabetes Fish oil can help to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. 8. Improved Brain Function in Babies Pregnant women who took a high quality fish oil supplement had babies with higher IQs and fewer learning disorders, and were less likely to develop mental retardation or cognitive delays. 9. Skin Disorders The Journal of Lipid Research announced in 2005 that a few benefits of fish oil regarding skin condition are oil production regulation, increased hydration, reduced acne and fewer wrinkles. 10. Weight Loss Studies show that fat loss benefits of fish oil combined with diet and exercise were significantly greater than diet and exercise alone. Dr. Brenda Watson is the founder of Renew Life, a New York Times bestselling author, and host of the PBS health show “The Road to Perfect Health”. www.newscanada.com

Nakasuji joins elite company
RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND
AJAX -- Todd Nakasuji won the Elite 89, an award that recognizes the true essence of the NCAA student-athlete by hon-
ouring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his sport, while
also achieving the highest academic standard among peers. Nakasuji plays field lacrosse for Limestone College in South
Carolina.
Lacrosse Watch
AJAX -- That nasty losing streak that had
reached five games has been halted by the
Ajax Ironheads.
The Jr. B lacrosse club got back into the
win column on Tuesday night, doubling
the Mimico Mountaineers 10-5 at the Ajax
Community Centre.
While slow starts have plagued the Iron-
heads of late, that wasn’t the case in this
one, as the they led 2-1 after the first period
and 7-2 through two periods.
Specialty teams turned the tide in the
second period. With the game tied 2-2,
Dakota Watson and Adam Kelusky scored
shorthanded, and Steve Douitsis, who had
already scored in the first period, added
one on the power play during a five-min-
ute stretch. George Jimas added his sec-
ond goal to go along with one in the first,
and Watson, with his second of the night,
stretched the lead to 7-2 by the end of the
second period.
Watson completed his hat trick with a
shorthanded goal in the third, while Adam
Zulak and Kelusky also scored. It was part
of a four-point night for Kelusky, who
chipped in with a pair of assists, as did
Dylan Hutton, Shane Takahashi and Zulak.
The win improved the Ironheads to 5-10-
0 on the season, and moved them into a
tie with Gloucester for the eighth and final
playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with
five games remaining in the regular sea-
son.
This weekend the Ironheads are off to
Oakville to face the Buzz on Saturday and
host the Clarington Green Gaels on Sun-
day at 7 p.m.

Ironheads kept a close watch on Dereck
Downs of the Mimico Mountaineers.
Sports
Field lacrosse
player at
Limestone
College receives
prestigious award
AJAX -- Todd Nakasuji has done a number
of things in lacrosse and the classroom that
would put him into elite company.
Now he has the award to prove it.
The Ajax resident was the recipient of the
prestigious Elite 89 award for the NCAA Divi-
sion-II men’s field lacrosse championship. The
award honours one player from each of the 89
championship games hosted by the NCAA.
The winner is a student-athlete with the high-
est cumulative grade-point average among his
peers participating in a final.
While the 19-year-old sophomore at Lime-
stone College in South Carolina wasn’t famil-
iar with the award before receiving it, as the
announcement began to unfold a the champi-
onship banquet, he thought he might have a
shot at it.
“When they announced my name it was an
amazing honour to get the award,” he said.
On the season, he had three goals and
seven assists in 14 games for the Saints field
lacrosse team. But it’s his work in the class-
room that made him an obvious choice, as the
accounting and finance major carries a perfect
4.0 grade point average through two full years.
He helped lead Limestone, ranked third
in the country at 17-1, into the championship
game against No. 4-ranked Dowling College
(12-2) at Gillette Stadium, home of the New
England Patriots. The Golden Lions of Dowling
prevailed 11-10.
“It’s still a disappointment, but we do have
to recognize the amazing season we had and
everything we went through to get to where we
made it to,” said Nakasuji in reflection. “It’s still
an amazing accomplishment.
“It’s more a disappointment for the senior
class. It was an amazing senior class that we
had. All that they had been through, just to see
the disappointment on their faces after the
game was the hardest part of the whole thing.
“It was amazing to get there and an amaz-
ing experience. Something that I’ll never for-
get.”
After three years at Denis O’Connor and
another at the Hill Academy, Nakasuji chose
Limestone because of the winning tradition
its field lacrosse team had built, and the small
class sizes that allow students to get to know
their teachers on a personal level. With only
900 students, Nakasuji said one of his classes
has just 10 students in it.
It was a bit of an adjustment this season
on the field for Nakasuji, who played attack
as a freshman but was shifted to midfielder.
What wasn’t an adjustment was moving from
outdoors to indoors to play box for the sum-
mer. After arriving home at 2 a.m. on May 30,
he suited up for his Oakville Buzz Jr. B team
that night, scoring five times and adding four
assists in a 14-7 win over Mississauga.
“It’s a bit of an adjustment, but once you
get back into the rhythm of things, it’s not too
bad of a jump,” he said.
In three games since returning, he has 10
goals and 14 assists.
Nakasuji played his minor lacrosse with
West Durham, graduated to the Toronto Beach-
es Jr. A and Jr. B programs, before following
his good friend, Ian Duffy, a goalie, to Oakville
for Jr. B.

Durham Synchro Club heats things up in Quebec
Strong
performances
at Eastern/
Atlantic
Championships
QUEBEC -- Synchro teams from
Southern Ontario and the Mari-
times were in Quebec as part of
the Eastern/Atlantic Divisional
Championships 2012 held at the
Piscine Lucien-Flamand hosted
by the Synchro Elite Club.
Durham Synchro’s two nation-
al level teams, 13-15 year olds
(coaches Holley Lundmark and
Julia Maclean) and the 16-18
year olds (coaches Holley Lund-
mark and Jenilee Keslering) were
present at this highly anticipated
meet.
DSC’s 13-15 National Team
demonstrated good results in
the Figures competition. Results
for these swimmers are: Laura
Walsh (26), Kristyn Davies (36),
Me’Lanie Donelle (39), Meg
Grylls (46), Reyanne Padgett
(52), Samantha Low (70), Julie
Donelle (87) and Nieve Iannarel-
li (145). The 16-18 National team
was challenged by Figures.
Continuing her strong per-
formances this season, Caitlin
Schropp once again placed on
the podium with a fourth place
finish. Her teammate and duet
partner Sarah Masters finished
ninth. Their remaining team
members achieved positive
results, including Amber Meal-
ing (16), Sarah Exley (54), Rhi-
annon Major (55) and Meagan
Caulfield (57).
Teams from Quebec provided
strong competition for Durham’s
teams. DSC’s 13-15 solo and duet
teams did not achieve champi-
onship standings, however, their
routines demonstrated creative
choreography and musicality.
With well over 30 duets in the
13-15 Duet Prelims Champi-
onship, DSC’s duet teams held
fast, Kristyn Davies and Meg
Grylls (14) and Samantha Low
and Laura Walsh (15). In the
16-18 Duet Finals the duet team
of Sarah Masters and Caitlin
Schropp achieved fifth place and
went on to stand on the podium
in third place in the Duet Finals
Championship round. DSC duet
team of Meagan Caulfield and
Rhiannon Major’s ninth-place
ranking in the Duet Prelims was
not enough to enter them into
the next round.
Lastly, in the Team Finals
Championship division, DSC’s
13-15 team fell shy of the podium
in seventh place with their excit-
ing circus-inspired routine, while
the 16-18 team was awarded
fourth place on the podium after
an invigorating army-themed
performance.
