Instead they ran to help others and played a role in potentially saving lives. The Durham Regional Police handed out its 2014-15 awards to citizens who came to the aid of someone in distress. Citizens in each community in Durham were recognized during a ceremony at the Regional Council meeting on Wednesday, April 22. Among those recognized was Dawn White of Oshawa, who came to the aid of man being severely beaten. On Feb. 18, 2014, Ms. White was outside her home when she saw four people on the sidewalk. Two men seemed to be arguing and then the younger of the two men punched the older man, who fell to the ground. The younger man then got on top of the victim and punched him eight to 10 times, while two women urged the man on, police said. Ms. White yelled at the people, who fled into a house. She called 911 and went to the aid of the victim, who suffered severe head injuries. Sergeant Emmanuel Iheme, executive offi- cer for the Durham police, said of Ms. White’s actions, “If it were not for the quick action and not fearing for her personal safety, this aggravated assault could have turned into a homicide. Dawn is a great hero because she got involved and risked her own safety.” In an interview Ms. White said she doesn’t consider herself a hero. “I acted on instinct,” she noted, adding that if she hadn’t gotten involved, the man might have been killed. “I couldn’t stand by and do nothing,” Ms. White added. When she acted, she wasn’t scared, but afterward she was. “At first, no. I didn’t think about it,” she said. “I didn’t want to be a witness to a murder.” She was joined at the ceremony by her son James, 23, and daughter Kaitlyn, 8. “Very good” is how Kaitlyn described her mother getting the award. In his opening remarks, Sgt. Iheme said police officers are trained to deal with various issues on a daily basis. “From time to time, citizens find them- selves in dangerous or emerging situations. Sometimes, when seconds count, they act, despite the risks and the danger,” Sgt. Iheme noted. “The citizens here today are being recog- nized because they chose to make a differ- ence in the lives of others by getting involved. They did not do it for the award they are about to receive or for any recognition. They simply did it because it was the right thing to do.” Durham Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son praised the 18 recipients, saying that “By getting involved, you made a difference. It’s a special day to recognize you. Your actions lit- erally saved lives. I want to say thank you for making Durham Region a better place.” Others who were honoured were Bryan Birch and Gajaanie Thaas, both of Ajax, who came to the aid of a man who had suffered a heart attack on Nov. 5, 2013. Mr. Birch, who has first-aid training, said, “I really wasn’t thinking. It’s more instinct to get him to respond.” He kept providing CPR until paramedics arrived. Mr. Birch dismisses any talk of being a hero, saying, “I hope everyone is willing to do that for someone else.” Ms. Thaas said, “I’m so happy to save a life. I got the opportunity to save one life.” Other recipients are: • Jim Portener and Cheng Yan Lin: In Novem- ber 2014, an armed male entered a Pickering convenience store and threatened the clerk. The clerk was able to escape and trap the suspect inside. Mr. Portener, a retired Toron- to police officer, and Mr. Lin came to the aid of the clerk, keeping the door closed despite attempts by the suspect to get out. Officers arrived and arrested the accused. Mr. Porten- er suffered a cut to his hand and was treat- ed in hospital. Without their courage, the offender might have made his getaway • Karen South: In May 2014, an elderly woman made her way to the Whitby lakefront after consuming alcohol and medication. She was in a state of distress and had suicidal inten- tions, police said. Ms. South was walking her dog along the waterfront and came across the distressed woman, who had jumped into the frigid lake. Mrs. South entered the water, called police and stayed with the woman until police and ambulance arrived. Mrs. South remained in the cold water holding the woman up as she was unable to pull her from the water. Without her brave action, the event may have been a tragedy.

Pickering nuclear station looks to cut waste Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Ontario Power Generation is trying to have its employees at nuclear stations cut down on the amount of waste generated. That in turn will save the company money in two ways -- less waste has to be handled and items such as tools don’t have to be replaced. George Lakins said, “We want to drive down the amount of waste.” The officer in charge of enhanced waste minimization efforts, Mr. Lakins told the Pickering nuclear station Community Advisory Council on April 21 the aim is to get employees to change their mindset. “There’s good waste and ways to manage it,” he said, adding by minimizing waste, “we’re trying to be a little bit better to the environment. That’s what it’s all about. Our commitment to Ontario is to be the largest green energy producer.” Spokesman Scott Berry said reducing waste “isn’t as glamorous as producing neutrons, but it is important.” Mr. Lakins noted, “We’ve introduced a number of programs to minimize low-lev- el waste and increase the effectiveness of volume reduction.” Low-level waste is produced each day, he noted. These “materials are essentially non-hazardous. It’s dealt with by hands. It can become minimally exposed. Our goal is to maximize the segregation of materi- als. “In recent years, we’ve seen less volume sent to the Western Waste Management Facility” at the Bruce nuclear station. Low-level waste is processed by either incineration or compaction. Incineration reduces the volume of waste by 90 per cent, while compaction reduces it by 75 per cent, Mr. Lakins said. Reusing some items deemed to be low- level waste would save OPG in two ways, Mr. Lakins said. The item doesn’t have to be processed and it doesn’t have to be replaced. He said about half the metal is cleaned and re-released to the scrap market or something OPG could use again. Since the work has begun, about 22,000 pounds of metal has been put “back into the public domain,” he added. Up to five years ago, about 2,000 cubic metres of radioactive waste was created. That would cover a hockey rink to five feet. In the past couple of years, that amount has dropped to about 1,700 cubic metres. “Essentially, we’ve taken a foot off the top. This year, our target is 1,800 cubic metres. It will be lower if we stay on our current trend,” Mr Lakins noted. Mr. Lakins said the attitude with waste is “guilty until proven innocent. If we don’t know, we drop it into a contaminated bin. We go through the bags to check items.” Mr. Berry said, “We need to ensure the public we’ve done all we can. We are a business and that’s a consideration.” 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 • Ap r i l 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 5 P YOUR CASINOTOUR SPECIALISTS!

It is an honour for everyone involved with the Rouge Valley Health System Founda- tion to be recognized in your editorial. The results of our efforts are already rewarding, in raising funds for the betterment of your community hospital and playing a part in providing the best patient experience for people who rely on Rouge Valley for their care. We are grateful to have the spotlight shone on the role of a hospital founda- tion. We would like to direct the spotlight toward the people who make our work possible. Without the many volunteers who give of their time, and the community groups, individuals, businesses and politi- cal leaders who are our donors and cham- pions, we simply wouldn’t exist. Our mission is to partner with the com- munity to invest in superior health care at Rouge Valley Health System. We are hum- bled by the continued, ongoing support we receive. It is an honour to play a part in helping improve local health care. Chad Hanna, president and CEO, Rouge Valley Health System Foundation A duty of care for veterans As we approach Remembrance Day each year, Canadians of all ages and backgrounds come together to honour the brave men and women who risk their lives in service of our country. However, many of these men and women whose service we are so thankful for are often left in the margins of our health-care system. Currently, Ontario’s Health and Long Term Care Act limits the definition of what it means to be a “vet- eran” when assessing who gets priority access to long-term care. Priority access is only available for those who served during or prior to the Korean War; the brave men and women who served in any peace- keeping or wartime mission after that (or ‘modern- day veterans’) are left to fend for themselves. These are the same men and women who were deployed to Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Cyprus; the same ones who saved lives during Ontario’s forest fires, snowstorms, plane crashes and ice storms. As an MPP, I believe that we should honour all veterans. This is why I’m proud to support the Long Term Care Homes Amendment Act (Preference for Veterans), 2015, a private member’s bill inspired by veterans and presented by my colleague from Welland, NDP MPP Cindy Forster. This private member’s bill would correct this long- standing injustice and ensure all veterans in Ontario are provided priority access to long-term care beds when they need it. We know our veterans have supported us, and they should know that if they are wounded in service, they will get the health-care sup- port they deserve. In Oshawa we are proud to be the home of the R.S. McLaughlin Armoury, the Ontario Regiment Museum, the 420 Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association, Unit 42 of the Canadian Corps Association, the Oshawa Naval Veterans Club, and Royal Canadian Legion Branches 43 and 637, which all testify to the significant role that veterans play in our community. To give priority to some while denying it to oth- ers is unacceptable. All our veterans deserve prior- ity access to long-term care beds because lest we forget, we have a duty to care. -- Jennifer French is the Member of Provincial Parliament for Oshawa Jennifer French Guest column Honouring veterans Making the grade in Durham high schools Two different statistics, one common refrain about the need to be vigilant on behalf of high school students in Durham Region. So it is with graduation rates among Dur- ham public and Catholic high school stu- dents, which sees 72 per cent of public board students earn diplomas in four years, while 86 per cent of Catholic high school students achieve the same. Those numbers generally hold for public and Catholic high school students in Clarington as well: 72 per cent of public high schoolers graduate in four years, while 86 per cent of Catholic stu- dents do. All of these statistics are bolstered by the fact that, overall, Ontario graduation num- bers have been steadily rising since 2004. However, it is encouraging to hear educa- tion officials say they will continue to focus on the minority of students who, for various reasons and as a result of many external fac- tors that influence academic achievement, are still dropping out before earning their diplomas. Each board has strategies, policies and learning programs to assist students strug- gling with their marks. Boards offer cred- it recovery courses to help students reach their academic goals, supports in school and in their communities, as well as engage- ment programs for at-risk students. All of this is to say that public and Catho- lic school boards and educators in Durham and beyond won’t ease up or change tack until 100 per cent of their students succeed. Here’s why: studies conclude with cer- tainty that high school graduates will earn more in their lifetime than those who drop out, even if they don’t go on to post-second- ary studies. Furthermore, high school drop- outs tend to be hardest hit during economic downturns. For example, in 2007-2008, the unemployment rate for high school drop- outs ages 20-24 in Canada was 18 per cent, more than double the rate for graduates, and that was before the global econom- ic crisis. At the height of the downturn, the unemployment rate for dropouts reached a troubling 21 per cent, compared to just 10 per cent for those who finished high school. School board administrators and educa- tors have a host of strategies, programs and policies in place to promote academic suc- cess for struggling high schoolers. It is in this context that we strongly urge the families of those students who are con- templating dropping out, or who are strug- gling with some subjects, to take advantage of available resources, to ask questions at their teen’s school and help them find their path to academic success. It’s worth the time and it’s worth the effort and over the long term, it is something that can be measured in real dollars. How will things add up for your child? On love, cleanliness and being prepared It has come to my attention that my part- ner and I have different definitions of what ‘clean’ is. Perhaps you suffer from the same dichotomy in your own home. I must state at the outset that I am, in no way, judging Kathryn or claiming that my ‘clean’ is bet- ter than hers. I am just saying they are dif- ferent. I’ll leave it to her to tell you that hers is better than mine, far better than mine. And, technically speaking, she would be correct. In terms of an absolutely, medical- ly scrubbed, germ-free, antiseptic environ- ment, she would win, hands-down, every time. But, in my defence, and perhaps the defence of other ‘perfunctory’ cleaners out there, there is method to my lazy madness. I have tried to explain to Kathryn that there is an honest, even anthropological explanation to my cursory wipe downs, rinsings and spotty vacuumings. In times of old, in fact, not really that long ago, if a homestead or wagon train or even a cave were under attack, the safest and surest route to survival would be to break camp and flee in a hurry. In such dire circumstances, with the enemy at the gate, there would be no time to thoroughly do the dishes or dust or do any but the most rudimentary cleaning before hastily exiting to safety. Any effort to thoroughly clean up before leaving would unquestionably have dire conse- quences. This is why the history books are crammed full of pictures of ragged looking, soil-stained survivors. All of the nit-picky, clean people were killed off while cleaning behind the toilet. So, really, when Kathryn discovers a cof- fee cup that has been rinsed but not fully wiped or a plate that still has a smidgen of egg on it or a pair of boots that has been placed not on but close to the boot tray, she is not witnessing wanton sloth and selfish indolence but actually very real evidence of my undying vigilance against danger, and my love. She gets the same love from my oldest son. Oh boy does he give her that love. His room is littered with that love. But this is what men do for the women in their lives. We are always ready to flee. Kathryn’s response to this line of rea- soning is unfathomably skeptical. We are not in danger, she suggests. The only real harm that may befall us would be an attack of e-coli from improperly washed dish- es, she sarcastically adds. Now, a smaller person than I, a less loving person, might point out at this juncture that, unlike flee- ing, sarcasm has never been one of the great survival mechanisms of the human species. In fact, sarcasm is virtually useless when angry hordes are scaling the walls and flaming arrows are thwacking into the door. But even on that score, I feel it worth mentioning that with every somewhat dirty plate and not entirely clean glass, with every un-vacuumed dust bunny and dog hair tumbleweed, I am doing my bit to strengthen our collective immune systems. Kathryn has only lived with my son and me for a little while, but just think of the germs she’s been exposed to in that time that she would’ve otherwise missed.

SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND LICENCE TO COMPLAIN: We’ve all seen the peeling plates on cars travelling hither and yon in Durham Region. Though the plates are perceived by car owners as defective, those same owners could face fines under the Highway Traffic Act. Not surprisingly, most Facebook members take issue with the issue. Here’s what they were saying: Paul Richter: Ontario government should be replacing these as they are defective. Not the OWNERS fault. Derrick Webber: This happened to my 2009 plate that came with the new car I bought that year. I refuse to replace it out of pocket. I did not know it would have been replaced if it was under 5 years old. Carrie Julien: Why does the minis- try not recommend using protective covers? Michael S. Lazaris: All we do is pay and pay and pay in Ontario so oth- ers can fill their pockets. Everything goes up and it doesn’t take years for the increase it is done in months. Hydro up, gas up, everything goes up ... Laura Celsie: Yep, causing me a massive problem with the 407 right now. I had plates before far older than these that never had a prob- lem; these are a mess and on top of that were paid for because they are personalized. Now I am being charged massive fines and being accused of trying to hide my plates. Yet some- how they could read them well enough to figure out they are mine anyways, so figure that out. And I am talking thousands of dollars. Rajendra Singh: The problem is still there. I replaced my peeled plates last year and the new set is already exhibiting the same thing. Doesn’t matter if they’re covered or not, it still peels. 1: Shensi, China, Jan. 23, 1556 Magnitude about 8, approximately 830,000 deaths. 2: Tangshan, China, July 27, 1976 Magnitude 7.5.

The data measures how many students attained a 30-credit Ontario Secondary School Diploma. In 2014, the Durham District School Board had a four-year graduation rate of 72 per cent and a five-year graduation rate of 82 per cent. The numbers were the same for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, which includes public schools in Clarington. Numbers were higher for local Catho- lic boards -- the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board had a four-year rate of 86 per cent and a five-year rate of 90 per cent. Clarington’s Catholic schools are part of the Peterborough Victoria Nor- thumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board, which had a four- year graduation rate of 85 per cent and a five-year rate of 90 per cent. “Certainly we’re pleased,” says John Mullins, a superintendent with the DCDSB. w“But we’re never going to stand pat ... we always have to look at 10 per cent of students who didn’t graduate and what can we do to help them.” Some school boards in Ontario are raising questions about how the data is collected, including the DDSB. Superintendent Luigia Ayotte says graduation numbers compiled by the DDSB are higher than what was pub- lished by the Province and that an “internal analysis” is underway to sort out why there is a discrepancy. “We’re still trying to get a handle on it,” she notes. One possibility is students work- ing towards a 14-credit “certificate of accomplishment”, instead of an OSSD, are not counted as graduates in the Province’s data. They may include students with spe- cial needs or those leaving high school to do vocational training. Critics say not including them as graduates undermines their efforts and achievements. “Because we’re a public system we embrace all students. Our special edu- cation programs are quite diverse, we have a lot of segregated classes,” Ms. Ayotte says. “Our ultimate goal is to get 100 per cent of our students to have a meaning- ful future.” There are many reasons students miss the graduation mark, including academ- ic struggles, leaving school to work, fail- ing the required literacy test or coming up short on the needed 40 hours of com- munity service. Both Durham school boards say there are strategies in place to identify stu- dents at risk and offer help. Mr. Mullins says the Catholic board tracks students as early as Grade 9, keeping an eye on anyone even one credit short of the eight typically earned that year. “We try to hook all the students in a school up with a caring adult, someone who is looking out for them, above and beyond a guidance counsellor,” he adds. Both the Durham Catholic and public school boards also offer credit recovery. If a student fails a course, credit recov- ery can help them make up the areas they struggled with, without having to re-take the entire course. Ms. Ayotte notes the DDSB also has “re-engagement” strategies to reach out to students who have left school or are at risk of doing so, including meeting with the student, their family and teachers. “That 18 per cent of the population, (who didn’t graduate) we’re trying to figure out exactly who the student is, when they left and why they left so we can make changes,” she says. Ontario’s graduation numbers have been climbing over the past 10 years. In 2004 the rate of students graduating in four years was 56 per cent and the five- year rate was 68 per cent. According to the Province, about 163,000 more students have graduated in the past decade than would have if rates had remained at the 2004 level. Page 6 - Today’s editorial OSHAWA -- Maxwell Heights Secondary School held its first commencement cere- mony in 2011. On our cover in large photo, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary’s Helen Laplaine cheered on her fellow graduates at her graduation ceremony held in 2010. In smaller photo, Amanda Dewsbury waited with her classmates as Maxwell Heights at the school’s first graduation ceremony. New data shows Durham’s Catholic high school students are graduating at rates slightly above the provincial average, while the rate for students attending local public high schools falls just below. Numbers released this month mark the first time the Ontario government has published high school graduation rates for individual school boards. Metroland file photos HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU Studies show students who don’t attain a high school diploma are at risk for reduced lifetime earnings, increased unemployment, early childbearing, economic dependency and reduced quality of life. A 2000 study from Human Resourc- es Development Canada in 2000 showed those who do not complete high school earn 70 to 85 per cent of what graduates earn. According to the Canadian Council on Learning, high school graduates are “more employable, have a wider selection of jobs to choose from and earn more money than those who leave school before getting their diploma.” Data from Statistics Canada also shows that those without a high school diploma are hit harder during periods of economic downtown. In 2007/2008 -- prior to the recent downturn -- the unemployment rate for high school drop-outs ages 20 to 24 was 18 per cent, more than double the rate for high school graduates the same age. During the worst part of the down- turn in 2008 and 2009, the unemploy- ment rate for drop-outs rose to 21 per cent, while it was 10 per cent for those who had finished high school. BY THE NUMBERS • Ontario graduation rate: 76 per cent (four years) 84 per cent (five years) • Durham District School Board: 72 per cent (four years) 82 per cent (five years) • Durham Catholic District School Board: 86 per cent (four years) 90 per cent (five years) • Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board: 72 per cent (four years) 82 per cent (five years) • Peterborough Victoria Northum- berland and Clarington Catholic Dis- trict School Board: 85 per cent (four years) 90 per cent (five years) Our ultimate goal is to get 100 per cent of our students to have a meaningful future.

In the opening weekend of the Ontar- io Lacrosse Association Jr. B season, the Ironheads will host the Kahnawake Hunters and the Akwesasne Indians, teams they could be chasing come sea- son’s end for a coveted playoff spot. “Two teams that finished ahead of us last year in points and both teams made it to the playoffs,” says GM/head coach Ron Reed. “It should be two real good games. “They are two important games for us. It’s four points we wouldn’t mind having in our pockets. We want to send a state- ment that we are going to be tougher to play against in our barn this year. We’re certainly hoping for that as well.” The season and home opener is Satur- day, May 2 against Kahnawake at 8 p.m., while the Ironheads will also host Akwe- sasne the following afternoon at 2. All home games will be at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre. The Ironheads are coming off a 6-13-1 season, missing out on a playoff berth by just a single point in 2014. Reed is opti- mistic that his club will rectify that this summer. “Our expectations were certainly high- er than what we finished,” he says in looking back on last season. “We missed the playoffs by one point. There were a couple of games we shouldn’t have lost that we did. Lots of times we had the lead into the third period and didn’t sustain it. We’re hoping that changes this year. “We’re looking at a different dynamic. We had a lot of rookies last year that are returning for a second year.” Not a rookie, but a great veteran pres- ence, Patrick Morgan, the team’s leading scorer with 27-29-56 point totals last sea- son, will be back to lead the offence. He will be supported by Adrian Torok-Orban (22-14-36) and Jake Gilmour (11-24-35) who finished second and third respec- tively in the team scoring race last sea- son. Other veterans expected to have an impact this season are Matt Fountain, Kyle McDermott, Sean Power, Thomas Dannecker, Steven Berger and Ryan Mor- rison to name a few. An affiliation with the Toronto Beaches Jr. A club this sea- son will also provide the Ironheads with some quality young players. The offence should be particularly strong this season, which bodes well for the club. “We’re very optimistic this year from what we’ve seen in the camp,” says Reed. “Hopefully it carries over to the games.” And once the season kicks off on Sat- urday, what are the expectations for the Ironheads when the season concludes June 21? Not only a playoff spot, but a first round win, is on Reed’s wish list. “Not only do we want to make the playoffs, we’d like to go beyond the first round. That would be our goal. Making the playoffs is where we have to start. We want to finish above .500. If we do that, we should be well into a playoff posi- tion.” In the past, the Ironheads have always snuck into the playoffs as the seventh or eighth seed, drawing one of the top two teams in the opening round of playoffs. Reed would like to see the Ironheads challenge for one of the top four spots, and with it, home floor advantage in the opening round of the East Conference playoffs. The Ironheads open with three straight home games, including a Wednesday, May 6 date against the Orillia Kings. The next four are all away games. AJAX -- The Ajax Ironheads are set to begin another season of Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. B league play this weekend, when they host the Kahnawake Hunters on Saturday at 8 p.m. and the Akwesasne Indians on Sunday at 2 p.m. Both games will be at the Ajax Community Centre. The Ironheads are coming off a 6-13-1 season a year ago, missing the playoffs by one point. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Battalion get the edge on Generals Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com NORTH BAY -- The Oshawa Generals are likely having nightmares right now about North Bay Battalion goalie Jake Smith. Smith, who led the Battalion to a sweep over the Generals in last year’s OHL East- ern Conference final, appears even more determined to upset Oshawa once again in the final this season. Smith, who had just been named CHL goalie of the week thanks to his play in a split in the first two games of the series at the General Motors Centre, was phenome- nal again Tuesday at the North Bay Memo- rial Gardens, making 34 saves, several of them spectacular, as the Battalion grabbed a 2-1 series lead with a 2-1 overtime win. Ken Appleby was also excellent, but didn’t have much hope on the winner, as Ryan Kujawinski converted a nice pass from Nick Moutrey 10:28 into OT to send the 4,208 fans into a frenzy. Afterward, Generals coach D.J. Smith said he was frustrated by the officiating and felt Hunter Smith had earlier scored the winner on a shot that found the mesh, but the play had been whistled down on a close off-side call. He agreed, however, that Jake Smith was the story of the game, or at least his team’s inability to beat him. “We had more chances than they did tonight, we just didn’t bear down,” the coach said. “I mean we had three empty nets where Jake Smith made great saves. You’ve got to bear down and put it in the back of the net.” Smith has been stellar throughout the series, leading the Battalion to a stunning 6-1 win in the opener and allowing only one goal again in Game 2, on a bad bounce in overtime that tied the series. But he was arguably at his best last night, robbing Cole Cassels and Chris Carlisle on sprawling cross-crease saves, among many other excellent stops. “I thought that was our best game,” said Michael McCarron, the lone Oshawa for- ward to have beaten Smith in the series so far. “I thought our top guys, includ- ing myself, didn’t put pucks away that we needed to. We’re going to have to figure out a way to do that in Game 4.” The Generals opened the scoring in the game, and produced their first power-play goal of the series, as Stephen Desrocher moved in from the point off a faceoff to beat Smith 11:57 in. Ray Huether tied it up four minutes later. There’s little rest between games, as the two teams go right back at it Wednesday night in North Bay, another 7:05 p.m. start. 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 • Ap r i l 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 17 AP EARNUP TO $400CASHDAILY FT & PT Outdoors Spring/Summer PROPERTYSTARSJOBS.COM Work Seeking Honest HardWorking Staff SALES OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR REQUIRED For Durham New Home Builder.
