The review took place after the hospi- tal reported to the commissioner that two Rouge Valley Centenary hospital employ- ees sold names, addresses and phone numbers of mothers of newborn babies to private companies selling registered education savings plans. The two sepa- rate incidents were reported within a span of seven months -- the first in September 2013 and the second in April 2014. According to the commissioner’s report, the office felt the first incident was isolat- ed and chose to work with Rouge Valley to contain the breach and to ensure proper notice was given to affected patients. But after the second breach was reported, it chose to conduct a review. Rouge Valley did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Despite initially reporting the breach- es affected only Centenary patients, in July Rouge Valley informed the commis- sioner there was evidence that patients at the Ajax and Pickering hospital may have been affected. In August, Rouge Valley notified 6,150 former Ajax and Pickering patients that their personal health information may have been used or disclosed. Mr. Beamish said the hospital failed to put in place reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect patient information. “We put a lot of focus on their audit capa- bilities,” he said. Among other audit concerns, the review found activity logs were being kept for only two weeks, and the hos- pital couldn’t see which files staff had accessed. That’s why thousands of former patients had to be notified of the breach. “We’re pretty sure there weren’t 14,000 people affected but that’s the pool of peo- ple potentially affected,” said Mr. Beamish. He ordered Rouge Valley to take steps to ensure it can track all instances where staff access patients’ personal health informa- tion, and conduct random audits on all users’ activities on all its electronic sys- tems. “We know that they are working on it and I’m confident that they will fix it and get it done,” said Mr. Beamish. He also ordered the hospital to revise its privacy polices and train staff in privacy issues. Michael Crystal, representing the former patients in a class action lawsuit against Rouge Valley, said he and co-counsel Nor- man Mizobuchi recognize that it is rare for the privacy commissioner to issue orders and they are “very encouraged” by these findings. “This is a significant development in the case,” he said. “We remain committed to pursuing a remedy for these families in a court of law.” Mr. Beamish said in the past decade, there has been a growing number of cases of privacy breaches pertaining to health information, despite personal health information being among the most sensi- tive types. “I would call it disappointing in a way and disheartening,” he said. “Maybe we’re battling against human nature here.” While most people are naturally curi- ous, and he finds the majority of privacy breaches occur for that reason, that wasn’t the case in Rouge Valley’s incident, which was for financial gain. One former employee claims they were paid $600 for selling the information. The two employees involved in the pri- vacy breaches no longer work for Rouge Valley. Mr. Beamish hopes these findings send a strong message to hospital employees -- that inappropriately accessing patient information is wrong and that they will most likely be caught -- and to hospitals. “I think the message to hospitals is you really need to make sure that you’ve got the policies and processes in place to detect this kind of behaviour and to take action when this happens,” he said. /Holiday photo contest/Holiday photo contest/Holiday photo contest Your holiday spirit could make you a Your holiday spirit could make you a Your holiday spirit could make you a prize winner.

Essential Children generous at annual Pickering CopShop Pickering Town Centre, Durham Police, reward deserving children Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Town Centre was abuzz with around 40 excited local chil- dren, accompanied by equally happy police officers Dec. 10. Pickering Town Centre and the Durham Regional Police Service hosted the 9th annu- al CopShop event at the mall to bring some holiday cheer and delight to deserving chil- dren. Each child was given a gift card valued at $200 and on top of the shopping, the day included lunch at Eastside Mario’s, photos with Santa, and getting their gifts wrapped. “Some of these kids really need a smile put on their face and it’s nice to see that,” said Detective Constable Malcolm Wilson, who has taken part in the event for the past few years. He accompanied Riad Mohasen, a Grade 6 student at Glengrove Public School in Pickering. The 11 year old recently experi- enced the death of his sister. “This year I’m going to do what she want- ed, to donate,” he said. The generous child plans to donate $30 to the Hospital for Sick Children with the money he did not spend on his shopping spree. Alex Gullins, a 13-year-old student at Bolton C. Falby Public School in Ajax, comes from a family that includes three sisters and a brother. He was also generous on his shop- ping spree. “I just bought things for my family, just things they like,” he said, adding he did buy himself a Nerf Gun too. Auxiliary officers Dave Chambers and John Stapley accompanied Alex on his shopping spree, something officers volunteer their time to do and look forward to each year. “They have the spirit of Christmas,” Mr. Stapley said. Mr. Chambers agreed. “It’s a great way to give back to the commu- nity,” he said. Deputy Police Chief Scott Burns enjoys the event every year and said the pairing of the officers and the children is an important match. “It’s great for the officers and the kids to connect,” he said. Police Constable Dave Morton, a high school liaison officer, has been helping orga- nize the annual event since Durham Police joined on eight years ago. “It’s always the highlight, putting this event together,” he said. Students are chosen either because they have a challenge or to be rewarded, he said.

DURHAM -- While kids tend to be the easiest and most fun to buy for out of the age groups, that means donations for teens and babies are only trickling in at the Durham Children’s Aid Foun- dation. “We’re short on items like toys and clothing for babies under two and also, not so surprisingly, gift cards for youth (ages 13 to 18),” says Sian Gibson, exec- utive director of the foundation. Each year the foundation holds the Holiday Hope campaign, which gives food and gifts to local families in need. Last year, the program helped 737 fam- ilies, which included more than 2,000 children, youth and caregivers. Foundation staff works with the Dur- ham Children’s Aid Society to choose families to support and to learn what the needs and interests of each mem- ber are. “We’re trying, as the name says, to bring some hope this season,” says Ms. Gibson. Individuals or businesses interested in donating items can drop them off at 1320 Airport Blvd., Oshawa. Call co-ordinator Kathy English at 905-433-1551 ext. 2409 for more infor- mation. Gift cards to stores such as EB Games, Future Shop and West 49 are great gift ideas for teenagers -- they are given the freedom to choose what they like, says Ms. Gibson. “We’re accepting donations right until the 23rd of December,” she says. OSHAWA -- Volunteers Mansoor Sheikh and Mitch Renkiewicz sorted toys for the Holiday Hope campaign for the Children’s Aid Society on Dec. 11. The campaign is short of donations for children two and under, and youth between the ages of 13 and 18. The drive is running until Dec. 23.

Now what? Put the car in low gear, L1, and slowly, gen- tly press the gas pedal until you get moving. Still stuck? Back up a little, gentle on the gas, and try again. Once you are moving, gear back up to L2, and D (Drive). Do not press harder on the gas pedal when your tires are not gripping, since that only creates friction and produces icy patches, or worse, your car could fish-tail and slide into the car beside you. Who needs that bill before Christmas? Low gear will also help you around a corner safely, or keep you going on a slushy or unplowed street. Slow down early and gently to avoid trouble and make sure your tires stop beside the icy patch, not on it. Have a safe Christmas season. Margitta Fulda Beware of holiday heart attack stress The most wonderful time of the year is also the most stressful time of the year, which should surprise no one. With to-do lists longer than Santa’s, many people whose health is compromised by poor lifestyle choices could find them- selves having a heart attack when Christ- mas rolls around. Many studies have shown an increase in heart attacks over the holiday season, said Dr. Joe Ricci, director of the Regional Car- diac Care Program for the Rouge Valley Health System. “The increase in heart attacks and deaths through heart attacks over Christmas and New Year’s has been well known for a long time,” said Dr. Ricci, who has been a cardi- ologist for 25 years. In Canada, December, January and Feb- ruary tend to be the worst months for heart disease, said Matthew Mayer, Heart and Stroke senior mission specialist. “It is more of a winter phenomenon -- we see a peak,” he said. “January is the worst month.” More eating, drinking, and stress are seen as factors of the disease, said Mr. Mayer. For someone who may have high blood pres- sure and cholesterol, the winter months are the worst for their heart health, he said. Finding balance during the Christmas season is key, said Elsie Azevedo Perry, registered dietician and public health nutritionist with the Haliburton, Kawar- tha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit in Port Hope. That means taking it easy on fat, sugar and alcohol and choosing fruits and veg- etables as often as possible, restricting hol- iday treats to those must-have items on your personal list. While a busier social cal- endar often means more occasions where alcohol is served, be mindful of health limits; women should have no more than two alcoholic drinks a day, maximum 10 a week and men no more than three drinks a day, maximum 15 in a week. With a doctor’s approval, we should all strive to get some exercise in during the winter, such as skating, walking or tobog- ganing with family to reduce stress. Finally, being sure to get a flu shot can offer further protection to the vulnerable. The bottom line is that poor health hab- its all year can culminate in a most unhap- py Christmas present in the form of a heart attack. Double down on efforts to take care of yourself this year, and make that the top seasonal must-do item on your list. When the new year begins, you’ll already be on your way to better health habits, a fine res- olution that’s relevant any day of the year. There’s no better time to start than right now. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region division Ontario College of Trades review should include Durham As the president of the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association, I hear daily from local small business owners involved in the construction and renovation industry, that they struggle to find and hire young people interested in pursuing the skilled trades as a career. And instead of government doing something positive about this, it merely sets up a new bureau- cracy that gets in the way of encouraging young people from joining our industry. The Ontario College of Trades was supposedly created to elevate the status of tradespeople in the province. Unfortunately, it has not lived up to its prom- ise. Its leadership talks down to industry. There is a lack of transparency in how it operates and it is unac- countable in its decisions. The result is that Ontario is still left with the highest journeyperson-to-apprentice ratios in all of Canada. This ratio makes it more difficult for employers to hire young apprentices and therefore makes it more difficult for young people to find work. OCOT now enforces these high ratio requirements with a full enforcement division. In order to pay for this new bureaucracy, trades- people across Ontario now must pay $120 annually to OCOT in order to continue working legally in Ontario. This fee was created with little justification for exactly what the money would be used towards or a real expla- nation by OCOT on how it is promoting the trades. People working in the trades are becoming really frus- trated. This frustration towards OCOT came up during the provincial election. The Tories said they would abolish it and the Liberals said they would review OCOT. Last month the Liberal government appointed Tony Dean, the former head of the Ontario Public Ser- vice, to lead a review. Although the review is in its early stages, we have yet to see the complete details on how the review will proceed, let alone the outcomes that might result from it. At the very least, the review needs to visit areas outside of Toronto, so that tradespeople who pay into OCOT from all across Ontario, not just Toronto, have a voice in its future. People working in the skilled trades deserve better. A full review of OCOT, visiting urban, rural and northern areas in Ontario is a good place to start. -- Victor Fiume is the president of the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association Victor Fiume Durham Region Home Builders’ Association Business du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • De c e m b e r 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 7 APLet’s Talk What do you think?

Everytime the swings did a circle I would fire off a couple of shots. The challenge here is getting a shot in focus without too much dis- traction in the background. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND The most precious Christmas gift is the gift of ourselves Like a million other doting parents at this time of the year, I am currently contem- plating what to get my kids for Christmas. Wracking my brain for that perfect thing that will delight them and let them know how much I adore them. When they were little the task seemed so much easier. They were new to this world and anything and everything we dropped in front of them was a prize. But, as they get older and, consequently as I get older, things change. As do the nature of the gifts I want to give them. It’s funny. In the midst of all those toys, gadgets, clothes and gift cards there exists a larger question that I think is worth pondering, because it tells us a lot about our children and ourselves. If you could give your children just one gift ... what might that be? If you could bestow upon your kids one thing to last them a lifetime, to carry with them always ... what would that thing be? I think for me it would be the gift of con- fidence. Or, for lack of a better word, fear- lessness. Yes, that’s probably closer to the mark. Fearlessness. I’d like to imbue my kids with the complete understanding that there is nothing in this world, or the uni- verse for that matter, that they need worry or fret about. That it’s all good. That they cannot fail, they cannot get it wrong ... so just enjoy the ride. To lift that weight off of their shoulders would be worth everything to me. What is illuminating about this and not a little disconcerting, of course, is that whatever we most wish for our kids is usu- ally the thing we believe we most lack or, at the very least, most struggle with in our own lives. We want to make sure that the demons we wrestle with stay well away from our precious offspring. That their lives be easier and more enlightened than our own. A better version of ourselves. The nice thing is that I believe this hap- pens quite naturally, even in spite of our best bungling efforts. For while we are busy monitoring our children and making every effort to smooth the road before them, they are not simply passive participants in the experiment. They are actively engaged in their own lives; making their own choices, thinking, reflecting and, most importantly, watching. Watching us. Watching what we do and don’t do. What we esteem and what we count as worthless. How we react to life, how we navigate our own path, how we live. They see us in victory and in defeat, in joy and in sadness. They see it all. With that understanding, our entire lives are a gift to our children. Just as my par- ents’ lives have been and continue to be a gift to me. And regardless of what we think we would most like to bestow upon our kids, what we so desperately want them to have -- or to avoid -- they will always take exactly what they need. Which is exactly the way it should be. The perfect gift. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • De c e m b e r 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 10 P Increase in heart attacks over the holidays a well-known phenomenon Karen Longwell klongwell@northumberlandnews.com NORTHUMBERLAND/DURHAM -- A complete cardiac arrest came without symptoms for Oshawa resident Susan Edwards. Ms. Edwards, now the Durham Region Heart and Stroke Foundation area coor- dinator for corporate accounts, was 29 years old at the time and the mother of two young children, she said. She had appendix surgery the day before and luckily a nurse witnessed her collapse. “My eyes rolled back and I was out,” she said. She was shocked 15 times and doctors later discovered an underlying, rare con- dition called Long Q-T Syndrome, which affects the electrical signals in the heart. Before her cardiac arrest Ms. Edwards had a healthy lifestyle, which may have played a role in her survival, she said. She never smoked and ate healthy food. Life- style, particularly during the holiday sea- son, plays a role in heart health, accord- ing to a Durham cardiologist. Many studies have shown an increase in heart attacks over the holiday season, said Dr. Joe Ricci, director of the Regional Cardiac Care Program for the Rouge Val- ley Health System. “The increase in heart attacks and deaths through heart attacks over Christ- mas and New Year’s has been well known for a long time,” said Dr. Ricci, who has been a cardiologist for 25 years. A recent article called Cir- culation, an American Heart Association publication, calls the phenomenon the “Merry Christ- mas Coronary” and “Happy New Year Heart Attack.” In Canada, December, January and February tend to be the worst months for heart disease, said Matthew Mayer, Heart and Stroke senior mission specialist. “It is more of a winter phenomenon -- we see a peak,” he said. “January is the worst month.” More eating, drinking, stress and cold weather are seen as factors of the disease, said Mr. Mayer. For someone who may have high blood pressure and cholesterol, the win- ter months are the worst for their heart health, he said. Dr. Ricci said new studies show cold weather doesn’t play the role once thought in holiday heart disease because the same phenomenon is seen all across North America -- even in places such as Los Angeles, where they don’t see win- ter cold. There are likely more important risk factors during the holiday season, he said. Many people find the weeks leading up to Christmas very stressful, with events to plan and gifts to buy. “There is a sense that the stress around Christmas time contributes (to heart attacks),” he said. Another factor could be a person not going to the doctor right away so they don’t miss out on holiday events. “When people get ill over the Christmas period there is a tendency to not seek medical treatment right away because it is a holiday.” They may delay seeing a doctor but with a heart attack or a heart condition that could be a bad thing, said Dr. Ricci. Another factor could be inflammation caused by illness. “Respiratory illnesses such as influen- za are more common around Christmas time,” he said. That is why health care workers suggest vulnerable populations get a flu shot. A change in diet is very common over both Christmas and New Year’s. “Diet can be higher in fat, higher in salt, far too many calories and too much alcohol -- all those things can be a factor,” said Dr. Ricci. More fat and salt in the bloodstream leads to higher blood pressure and the blood is more likely to clog and cause a heart attack, he said. Numbers in the United States indicate the average person gains five to six pounds over the holidays and increasing weight and waist line is a known risk factor for heart disease, said Mr. Mayer. In addition, drinking alcohol increases blood pressure and blood fat, he said. “Having a lot of alcohol is a shock to the body,” he said. Alcohol also gives a person the perception of warmth so they may not dress properly for the weather, said Mr. Mayer. Finding balance during the Christmas season is key, said Elsie Azevedo Perry, reg- istered dietician and public health nutri- tionist with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit in Port Hope. “Giving yourself permission for those must-have treats is important,” said Ms. Perry. But when at an event, use smaller plates. The plate should be filled half with fruits and vegetables, a quarter whole grains and the remaining quarter with protein, she suggested. On days when you don’t have a holiday event, eat a diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and protein, she said. If approved by a physician, Christmas is a good time to get out and do something with family such as skating, tobogganing, snow shoeing or shovelling snow. “If you can, get out and burn some calo- ries,” she said. “It’s not about going to the gym. Make it fun.” Visit www.eatrightontario.ca for more tips on healthy eating. Ontario residents can speak with a registered dietician for free by calling 1-877-510-510-2. Tips to reduce the risk: • Don’t ignore the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, don’t delay treatment. • Find some balance - with healthy meals and activity -- over the holidays. • Choose one indulgence • Manage the stress • Exercise such as a walk or tobogganing with family, if approved by your physi- cian, can reduce stress. • Get a flu shot. • Women should have no more than two alcoholic drinks a day, maximum 10 a week and men no more than three drinks a day, maximum 15 in a week. COBOURG -- Conscious of their health over the holidays, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus had a quick workout at the Cobourg YMCA before visiting children at the pancake breakfast. Below, Elsie Azevedo Perry, public health nutritionist for the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, recommends choosing fresh fruit and veg- etables during the holidays while allowing a few special treats. Karen Longwell / Metroland HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Approximately 10 per cent more people suffer fatal heart attacks or strokes in the winter compared to the summer months. • The difference between the low- est month (September) and high- est month (January) is nearly 20 per cent. • Coronary heart disease is more deadly when temperatures are low. • Those who suffer cardiac arrest during the winter months were nearly 20 per cent less likely to sur- vive than those in the summer months. • There are an estimated 70,000 heart attacks each year in Canada. That’s one heart attack every seven minutes. Source: Heart and Stroke Foundation SIGNS OF A HEART ATTACK • Chest discomfort (some people will not experience chest pain, par- ticularly women) • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body (neck, jaw, shoulder, arms and back) • Shortness of breath • Sweating • Nausea • Light-headedness du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • De c e m b e r 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 12 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Streaky scoring continues for Durham West Jr. Lightning Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The hockey gods aren’t quite done messing with the Durham West Jr. Light- ning. Just a couple of weeks after the team seemed to be out of its goal-scoring funk, it struck again over the weekend. Satur- day, Dec. 13 in Kingston they fired 76 shots and held the home side to just 11 in a lop- sided 8-0 victory. But the following day, on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre, the Lightning lost 3-1 to Burlington despite outshooting them 39-13. The two games were similar, but had a different result, said head coach Jeremy Murphy. “We controlled the whole game. (Burl- ington) didn’t have the puck that much,” he said. “Instead of everything going in the net on Sunday we found ways to hit the post and crossbar. We had breakaways. “We’ve seen it before.” Charlea Pedersen had the lone goal against Burlington in the opening period for the Lightning, who surrendered three in the third, including the game-winner and an empty-net goal in the final 2:01. In Kingston, despite outshooting the home side 49-5 through two periods, the Lightning were only up 2-0. But they scored six times on 27 shots in the third period for the lopsided win by eight goals. Katrina Manoukarakis scored four times, with one each to Samantha McKenzie, Emily Jukosky, Alexandra Maw and Saroya Tinker. “We didn’t change much in the third period,” said Murphy of the six-goal out- burst. “A game like that, we just kept com- ing and they eventually ran out of gas and pucks started to go in for us. It was nice to see pucks find the back of the net.” With three games remaining before the Christmas break, Murphy is looking for- ward to the new year, when he expects to have a full roster, something the Lightning haven’t iced this season. Lisa Bruno, who broke her collarbone in the third game of the season, is expected back, as is Kaitlyn McManus, who will have missed a couple months with a concussion. The Lightning visit Mississauga on Wednesday, Dec. 17, followed by weekend games Saturday, Dec. 20 in Waterloo and home to London the following day at 2:30 p.m. Tight coverage PICKERING -- Pine Ridge Pumas’ Chase Vassell defended against Notre Dame Cougars’ Tyrique Daley during the 10th annual David Preston Memorial tournament hosted by Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge won this game 81-70, and eventually the tourna- ment title with an 86-85 win over Pickering in the championship game. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Game of runs decides fate of Panthers Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A couple of runs decided both games for the Pickering Panthers over the weekend. One of the runs went their way, the other didn’t. In the one that did, the Panthers scored five unanswered goals to close out the game on home ice Friday, Dec. 12 to register a 7-3 victory over the North York Rangers. In the one that didn’t the following night, they allowed four goals in the final 11 minutes resulting in a 5-1 loss in Stouffville. The Panthers showed some resiliency in the win over North York, jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Blake Coffey and Doug Carter before giving up three in a row, two on the power play, to go down 3-2. “We take untimely, undisciplined penal- ties which always seems to put us in a hole, but that game we were able to come back,” said GM/head coach Paul Coffey. The Panthers got a second goal from Cart- er and one each by Riley Devine and Chris Sekelyk for a 5-3 lead after two. Cam Palmer and then Coffey with his second of the night stretched the lead in the third. In Stouffville, call-up Tiger McDon- ald scored to tie the game at one apiece in the third, but Stouffville scored four times over the final 11 minutes for a 5-1 win. The downfall started when the Panthers took a penalty while on the power play. Five sec- onds later right off the faceoff Stouffville scored to go up 2-1. “We played well. It definitely wasn’t a 5-1 game,” said Coffey. “The goals were just bang, bang, bang. We were 1-1 and on a power play. “We had some good chances in the game. Their goalie made some good saves as did ours (Austin Washkurak). Our goalie played great as usual. We just have to stay com- posed at the right time of the game.” The Panthers have added Austin Ulett to the lineup, which leaves them two open player’s cards still to use. A trio of players recently quit the team, including the Condotta brothers, Lucas and Matteo. Brian Hurley announced to the team that he was quitting and going back home to Long Beach, New York, after com- mitting to Western New England University. John Hudgin, out with an injury since Nov. 23, could be back in the lineup this week- end. The Panthers are in Georgetown tonight. PICKERING -- Pickering’s St. Monica Cath- olic School senior girls’ volleyball team claimed the gold medal for medium size schools at the DDECAA Tournament of Champions held at All Saint Catholic High School in Whitby. The tournament featured the top four schools in the Durham Catholic board playing off against each other in semifi- nal action with the winners meeting in the finals. The Eagles of St. Monica went into the tournament with previous results includ- ing fourth place in the Catholic Cup held in Oakville, and silver at tournaments held at St. Mary Catholic High School in Pickering and at Cardinal Newman Catholic High School in Scarborough. The girls beat St. Bernard from Whitby in two straight sets to advance to the finals where they met St. Leo’s from Brook- lin. In the final match, the Eagles played their offensive style of volleyball and took home the pennant by winning in two sets remaining undefeated for the evening. The girls are coached by teacher Jerry Georgiadis and retired principal Larry Noonan.
