Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jesse Slade Shan- tz is part of a team of Rouge Valley Health System doctors working to ensure patients receive timely access to an accurate diagno- sis by the right health provider. The surgeons, along with Rouge Valley and the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation, helped create the Shoulder Centre, a one-stop patient-focused centre at the Ajax-Pickering hospital for fast- er diagnosis and treatment. It treats a wide variety of shoulder injuries, and was created in order to build the capacity to assess and treat all shoulder problems accurately and in a timely manner. Dr. Shantz explained many times, the fix for the shoulder is easy and available. “Sometimes the knowledge isn’t there to diagnose or provide the treatment,” he said. The surgeons believe smarter communi- cation with primary-care practitioners and trained shoulder experts, as well as collabo- ration with radiologists, physiotherapists and outside primary care groups, will allow shoul- der problems to be treated with as little waste to the patient as possible. “The vision of this is to create that knowl- edge in the community, but we’re kind of cre- ating a sponge here,” said Dr. Shantz. Implementing this new model of care is also meant to drive system-wide savings of up to $3 million and enable sustainable fund- ing for specialty shoulder care. “I think the main emphasis on this shoulder centre will be that wait times will be cut down significantly,” said Mr. Cicchelli, who is now a cabinet member of the Shoulder Centre. Patient Dwayne Kerrigan has benefitted from the hospital’s experts. He’d lived with a long-term shoulder injury until he had an accident that “basically tore my shoulder apart” and prompted him to have surgery. “From a professionalism standpoint, the doctors are unbelievable,” he said. “I don’t think you could find anybody better really.” The Shoulder Centre staff plans on measur- ing the effect of changes in wait times, imag- ing utilization and sharing learnings to apply successful strategies in reforming other areas of specialty care. “The big thing is we’re just trying to change the way things work ... to serve patients and decrease costs.” said Dr. Shantz. “Hopefully we can make this a plat- form for other areas of medicine.” A Shoulder Centre website was recent- ly launched, thanks to a partnership with Search Engine People. “By having this great competitive web pres- ence, we want current and future patients to be confident that they can receive great care close to home at the Shoulder Centre,” said Dr. Stephen Gallay, division chief of orthope- dics at the Ajax-Pickering hospital.

Ajax man charged after driver flees traffic stop, nearly striking officer DURHAM -- An Ajax man faces charges after a driver nearly struck a police officer while fleeing a traffic stop early Saturday in Pickering. The incident occurred about 1:40 a.m. April 30 when an officer stopped a vehicle for travelling without tail lights on Brock Road, Durham police said. As the cop walked toward the car, the vehicle suddenly reversed, almost striking the officer and his cruiser, police said. The suspect vehicle sped way from the scene. The offi- cer did not pursue the car, but did get a look at the driver and recorded a licence plate. Police made contact with the registered driver of the car. The driver turned himself in at a station shortly thereafter. Angelo Pioquinto, 18, of MacDermott Drive in Ajax, faces charges including dangerous driving and failing to stop for police. The G1 licence holder is also charged with driving without accompaniment by a qualified driv- er.

Experts chosen one year ago by Ontario’s health minister to advise him on the future of Durham and Scarborough hospitals con- cluded the two places are different. The experts recommended building “com- prehensive” new hospital campuses in both Durham and Scarborough, as well as approv- ing a number of expensive capital projects at Scarborough hospitals. They also told Health Minister Hoskins, who received their report last November, the existing area hospitals should be merged into single corporations in Scarborough and in Durham. Flanked by both Durham and Scarborough MPPs at a press conference Thursday, April 28, Health Minister Hoskins endorsed all the recommendations. That means, he acknowledged, breaking up Rouge Valley Health System by merging The Scarborough Hospital’s two campuses with the RVHS Centenary and, in Durham, join- ing RVHS Ajax-Pickering with Oshawa’s Lak- eridge Health. “I’m prepared and I’m committed to take the necessary next steps,” said Health Min- ister Hoskins, who named a special advisor, Mark Roshon, to begin separate, one-year- long planning exercises in Scarborough and Durham. The minister announced the province will spend $5 million on the studies -- part of which, he said, will “look specifically” at a proposed rebuilding of the Centenary emer- gency department -- and increase operating funds by a total of $10 million for the three affected hospitals. RVHS and supporters of a “Save Our Hospi- tal” campaign had called on the health min- ister and the government to “pause” before making decisions on the report, saying the experts were mistaken in their interpretation of patient data. By mid-afternoon Thursday, the hospi- tal - which almost merged with TSH until The Scarborough Hospital withdrew from the deal in 2014 -- called the minister’s announcement “very disappointing.” “I want to assure our staff, physicians, and volunteers that our commitment to them has not diminished,” Fred Clifford, chairman of the RVHS board said in a statement. “We will do everything we can to support them during this time of transition.” Lakeridge Health’s new interim CEO Tom McHugh, however, said his hospital is delight- ed with the opportunity to look at what health care a growing Durham needs. Lakeridge, Mr. McHugh said, also want- ed the chance to “evolve our governance to include the people of Ajax-Pickering” by forming a Durham hospital corporation. “And we believe it should be the Lakeridge Health Corporation,” he said. Health Minister Hoskins, in turn, praised “fantastic regional programs” that exist across the Scarborough-Durham boundary, includ- ing a cardiac care centre based at RVHS Cen- tenary. “It is imperative, and my expectation, that these programs continue to serve those pop- ulations that are benefitting from them,” he said. Liberal MPPs at Thursday’s event, after years of pressure to improve local hospitals which are aging and overcrowded, said their efforts had gone a long way. “We’re coming through on what we said we were going to do,” Scarborough-Agincourt MPP Soo Wong said. “Durham is growing but Scarborough is aging, with a lot of seniors.” “Durham Region has been left behind,” on health-care facilities, “but that’s changing,” said Durham MPP Granville Anderson, who predicted “more wonderful news to come.” Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles, whose riding straddles the boundary, said the province must respond to changing demographics in both. Developing the Seaton lands will double Pickering’s size, she said. MPP MacCharles said she appreciates that this means a change for hospital leadership, but “with change comes opportunity.” Operating fund increases for the hospitals, which the ministry said will support regular programs and services, are $4.5 million for the RVHS, $2.9 million for TSH, and $2.6 mil- lion for Lakeridge Health. The Ontario New Democrats’ Health Critic France Gélinas attacked the announcement, saying the province “has pushed hospitals to the brink” with a four-year freeze on funding.

TRUCKLOADOADEven HOTTESTFLOORINGSTYLESHAVEARRIVED THE n t RIVED Starting at BERBERCARPET $129 Sq.Ft Starting at 12.3mmLAMINATE $169 Sq.Ft AJAX — A 17-year-old male is in Toronto hospital after being stabbed several times during a brawl on Dolby Crescent early Sunday, according to Durham police. The victim was involved in the large street fight on May 1, and as suspects fled the scene, the teen realized he had been stabbed sev- eral times. Police said the fight was sparked after the victim and other party- goers confronted a group of males suspected of stealing shoes. The suspects fled in a light- coloured vehicle, similar to a Volvo station wagon, said police. The teen was taken to local hos- pital before being transferred to a Toronto-area trauma cen- tre where he was treated for seri- ous but not life-threatening stab wounds. The suspect is described as male, black with a light complex- ion, and wearing a beige coat. Investigators have appealed to witnesses to contact them. Any- one with new information is asked to contact Det. Rhoden of the West Division Criminal Inves- tigations Bureau at 1-888-579- 1520 ext. 2528. Durham police dog tracks suspect hiding after break-in attempt CLARINGTON -- An Oshawa man was charged after police canine team helped track down a break- in suspect trying to flee from cops early Saturday in Clarington. Officers converged on the area of Baseline and Holt roads at about 1:20 a.m. April 30 after a homeowner inter- rupted a break-in in progress. The suspect fled after the home- owner caught him trying to gain entry through a window, police said. Officers on the ground were assisted by the Air 1 helicopter as well as police dog Blitz and his han- dler. The dog tracked a suspect to a patch of brush north of the home. With Blitz barking nearby, the suspect was convinced to surren- der peacefully. Officers recovered property stolen during other inci- dents, police said. Michael Waterman, 34, of Sim- coe Street South in Oshawa, faces charges including break and enter, trespass by night and possession of stolen property. Ajax & Pickering Locations8 Salem Rd.

She was born in 1867 and is survived by politicians and human rights advocates who sought to ensure her timely demise along with those hop- ing for the same exit. Last year the Supreme Court over- turned Canada’s ban on physician- assisted death for patients with intol- erable suffering, citing that it violates an individual’s right to life, liberty and security. This meant Parliament would have to revise the legislation, making it the way of the land come June -- the court-appointed deadline. Pun intend- ed. Canada is made up of its citizens and residents. Without us, it’s just an unoc- cupied land mass. The people mat- ter, but how is it that so few people can cause a law to change? Do we really believe that there are untold masses that “need” to die? It’s not likely. In actuality, there are those who are genuinely in pain (both the sufferers and their family) and they see no need or way to go on. We have an overcrowd- ed health-care system that can only do so much and we have a judiciary and government system that is always for the rights of the people. This mix, when stirred in a politically correct manner, can give the appearance of an actual need. Listen, people find a way to kill them- selves every day. Now patients can request that physicians do it for them. Maybe the insurance companies will go easier on their families. Their loved ones wouldn’t feel the shame had they died by suicide or the guilt had they been asked to take their loved ones’ lives and been charged. But death was never meant to be in the hands of men. It’s like a hot potato –- whoever has it, just wants to pass it on. An individual appealed to the Supreme Court, the court passed it on to Parlia- ment, then it’ll go to the Senate and once it’s law, it’s passed on to physicians who certainly didn’t sign up for this. This legislation is proof we have a mindset that the government needs to legislate every part of our life and death and they are only too happy to oblige to Canada’s demise because people and death are never satisfied. It will come for the mentally challenged and the youth next. This is one grave that will remain open, intending to swallow us whole unless it is forcibly and collectively closed. -- Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is a communicator of truth.

It will merge the Scarborough Hospital’s two campuses with the RVHS Centenary and, in Durham, join RVHS Ajax-Pickering with Lakeridge Health. The decision has not been met with over- whelming endorsement. Lakeridge Health officials are happy with the announce- ment but those at RVHS Ajax-Pickering are not. The hospital sent out a release calling Health Minister Eric Hoskins’ announce- ment “very disappointing.” And if you’re a resident of Pickering or Ajax one cannot blame you for feeling the same way. After all it’s your hospital being impacted, possibly the most important part of your community. The decision to split up the RVHS Ajax- Pickering hospital and merge it with Lak- eridge Health came after a year-long study by an expert panel set up to study the amalgamation. “This is a plan (that), once executed, will bring improved health-care services to the people of Scarborough and West Durham, and I am looking forward to working with the communities and hospitals to move the plan toward execution,” said Marck Rochon, who has been appointed by the province to oversee the merger. As with any hospital merger there are a lot of questions that still need answering. Change is never easy but when it involves health-care services one wants to make sure what is being done is done right. The study looked “specifically” at a pro- posed rebuilding of the Centenary emer- gency department -- and increased oper- ating funds by a total of $10 million for the three affected hospitals. Increased funding is never a bad thing and one hopes it will be enough to successfully complete the merger of RVHS Ajax-Pickering hospital with Lakeridge Health. The new structure will form a complete Durham hospital corporation but to resi- dents corporate structure means very lit- tle. What’s important is the new Lakeridge Health will continue to meet the health- care needs of residents of all Durham Region residents in a timely and profes- sional manner. The government notes it is making these changes to improve the sys- tem. It’s yet to be seen how these growing pains will be worked out but we’re hope- ful it will be for the better of everyone. As mentioned last week at the announce- ment, Durham Region is a growing area with changing demographics. Exist- ing programs must continue to meet our needs and moving forward new programs must be developed to serve residents. Fred Clifford, chairman of the RVHS board in a statement said “We will do everything we can to support them (staff, physicians, and volunteers) during this time of transition.” It won’t be an easy transition but we’re hopeful it will be a successful one. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division our opinion Hospital merger part of our changing health-care landscape renae Jarrett Guest columnist Tim Whittaker - Publisher twhittaker@durhamregion.com Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising feismont@durhamregion.com Mike Johnston - Regional Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com Deb Macdonald - Sales Manager dmacdonald@durhamregion.com Abe Fakhourie - Director of Distribution afakhourie@durhamregion.com Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager chaines@durhamregion.com News Advertiser 865 Farewell St., Oshawa ON L1H 6N8 www.durhamregion.com ADVERTISING 905-215-0472 CLASSIFIEDS 905-215-0442 DISTRIBUTION 905-683-5117 GENERAL FAX 905-576-2238 NEWSROOM 905-215-0481 LETTERS: We welcome letters.

But what’s really important about this season isn’t just the relaxation - it’s the chance to spend more time with your family members.When you think of how much they mean to you, shouldn’t you take the steps necessary to protect their future? One of the most important moves that you can make is to ensure that you have adequate life insurance.With adequate coverage you could enable your family to continue meeting all the expenses associated with raising your children. Furthermore, life insurance proceeds can help pay for your children’s future college educations. Your life insurance policy could also help your family pay off your mortgage and other debts, such as car loans, or credit card bills. In addition, the money from a life insurance policy could prove important in helping your surviving spouse during his or her retirement years. Consult a financial advisor to determine if you’ve got the appropriate level of coverage, or if you need to add more. Once you know that your family is protected financially, you may find that relaxation isn’t just for the summer.

Arianna Dossa has been volunteering with many different groups and causes since she was eight, but has consistent- ly continued to work with the group that nominated her for the award. “I’m so proud that I’m able to receive this award,” said Arianna, “it’s such an honour that I was nominated, I’m so glad.” Her volunteer work with the Ismaili Council includes working with many of the elderly members of the congrega- tion, as well as weekly cleaning and setup before and after services. She got into volunteer work because her grandparents and parents were always involved with work that gave back to the community and she knew the value of giving back. “I always liked helping out, and it was a good way to put that to use,” said Ari- anna. In addition to her work with the Ismaili Council, she has also done work as a Big Sister and with the Pickering Public Library. She also did a stint as a legisla- tive page at Queen’s Park. “It was a really interesting program and I always had an interest in government, so I thought it would be a really good opportunity,” said Arianna. She received her award on April 20. “We’re really proud of her and glad she’s been working so hard,” said Dinar Dossa, Arianna’s mom.Tel: 905.449.1115 • www.featheryournest.meel: 905.449.1115 • www.feather your Blinds, Shutters, Custom Drapery & moreBlinds,Shutter 50% OFFCall Todayto Book anIn-HomeConsultationwith our InteriorDecoratorFREE Installation We’ve Got You Covered This Summer Pickering teen makes her mark as an avid volunteer Jason Liebregts / Metroland PICKERING -- Dunbarton High student Arianna Dossa received an Ontario Volunteer Service Award for five years of voluntary service. 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 • Ma y 4 , 2 0 1 6 11 AP 550 Beck Crescent at the 401 & Salem Road, Ajax 905-428-9993 • www.ajaxconventioncentre.ca NewlyRenovated Ballrooms… SimplyElegant!

PICKERINGOPtICal By Bill Brioux Jane Fonda was recently asked if being over 50 had freed her up for adventures she’d never consider in her 20s or 30s. “I can’t remember,” answered Fonda. “Fifty was too long ago.” Twenty-eight years ago, to be exact. The two-time Oscar-winner may look 50, but she’s really a well-preserved 78. To put that in perspective, that’s one year older than her famous father, Henry Fonda, was at the time of his death. Earlier this year, Fonda sat on a stage with her tiny dog Tulea at a press gathering in Pasadena, Calif., to promote Grace and Frankie. The comedy, co-starring Fonda’s good friend Lily Tomlin, returns with a Sec- ond Season’s worth of episodes May 6 on Netflix. The stylish actress feels that the fact both women are now well into their 70s, “is one of the reasons that the show is successful. It gives people hope.” Fonda and Tomlin play the title char- acters in Grace and Frankie, two women whose lives are turned upside down when their husbands (played by Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) reveal that they are gay and leaving them for each other. The series presents an unblinking look at aging, dealing with issues such as joint pain, blind dates and night blindness. Fonda says 70 was the age when, “things started to really happen for me.” Asked to be more specific, she replied, “Well, how about happiness? Why don’t we just start with that, you know?I mean, sort of knowing what to look for in a part- ner, for example.” Fonda was married and divorced three times. Her first husband was French film- maker and her Barbarella director Roger Vadim (the marriage lasted from 1965 to ’73). Her second husband was anti-war activist Tom Hayden (1973 – ’90). Strike three was to billionaire broadcast tycoon Ted Turner (1991 -2001). Since 2009, she’s been in a relationship with record producer Richard Perry. She also suggests that happiness, for her, is having a steady job in her 70s. “I’ve never had to go to a studio every day for five months,” she told reporters. “It’s fabulous.” In 1990 at 53, after appearing in Stanley & Iris opposite Robert De Niro, Fonda took an extended leave from filmmaking. Her 15-year hiatus roughly coincided with her years together with Turner. Fonda has juggled TV and film roles since coming out of retirement in 2005. That’s the year she played Jennifer Lopez’s Monster-in-Law. Later, she had a recurring role as the CEO of a major media company on Aaron Sorkin’s HBO drama, The News- room. The Netflix experience, however, was a first for Fonda. She marvels at how an entire season of a series can now be “dropped” all at once, allowing viewers to binge view from start to finish. “It was released on a Thursday last April,” she says, recalling she was in New York promoting it. “The next morning, Friday, we got on a plane to fly to L.A. By the time I got home, I was getting calls and e-mails from people who already saw the whole Season 1. I mean, to have what to me was like a revolutionary experience like that when you’re my age, that’s pretty great.” Fonda seemed to enjoy being back in the press spotlight, kidding co-star Tomlin and teasing reporters. After a long career in feature films, Fonda finds television is where it’s at now. A few years ago, she even made her debut as a voice on The Simpsons. She hasn’t com- pletely abandoned her film career, playing Nancy Reagan in the 2013 feature Lee Dan- iels’ The Butler. The notion of retiring a second time is definitely not on her agenda. As she recent- ly told AARP Magazine, “Retirement? No, it’s a foreign concept to me.” She admits to having plastic surgery to help her look younger and feels the vari- ous nips and tucks have likely bought her a decade in the business. The former fitness guru also says she’s had other procedures to help keep herself moving. As she told Britain’s The Guardian: “I have a fake hip, knee, thumb; more metal in me than a bionic woman, but I can still do Pilates.” At 78, Jane Fonda is a beacon of hope Friends on and off the screen, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda in an episode of Grace and Frankie, heading into its second season on Netflix this month.

If you are a member of a pension plan, now is the time to make some important deci- sions that will have a strong impact on the amount and length of your pension. Decide when your pension payments will begin. If you have a defined benefit pension plan, your annual benefit may be reduced if you retire before reaching a certain age or completing a minimum service requirement. However, your plan may have a bridging benefit to offset an early retirement pension reduction that is paid from the date of early retirement up to age 65 when it will stop. Decide whether or not your pension benefit transfers to your spouse when you die. You can usually: Elect to receive a life-only pension that ends when you die. It will deliver a high- er monthly benefit to you than a joint and last survivorship pension but will not pro- vide a continuing benefit for your spouse after you die. The plan member’s spouse will need to sign a waiver to take this option. Select the joint and last survivorship option. While your monthly benefit will be lower, the “joint and last survivor” option is usually better unless your spouse has his or her own pension, Registered Retirement Savings Plan, and/or non-reg- istered assets or adequate insurance cov- erage. Choosing the survivor benefit. Not all plans allow you to do this – check the details of your plan. In most jurisdictions, the ‘standard’ survivor benefit is 60 per cent of the pension that was being paid to you prior to death, however some plans will include other options such as 66 2/3 per cent, 75 per cent and 100 per cent sur- vivor benefits. Do you have the option of receiving your pension benefit for a guaranteed mini- mum number of payments? Some plans allow you to choose to receive monthly pension payments over a minimum term of 5, 10 or 15 years – meaning that even if you die prematurely, the benefit will be paid for the minimum period you select- ed. Does your plan have a CPP (Canada Pen- sion Plan) or OAS (Old Age Security) inte- gration option? If so, you can choose to receive an advance on your pension in the form of larger monthly payments until age 65, when CPP and OAS benefits normally begin. This option will result in reduced monthly payments after the age of 65. Do you have the option to transfer the commuted value of your pension to a locked-in account? Instead of receiving a monthly lifetime pension, you transfer the commuted value of your pension to an account you control. Among other financial decisions, these six key pension decisions will help ensure your retirement dreams will become real- ity.

Dealing with dementia confusion frustrating for whole family When someone you love has dementia, it is heartbreaking to watch the changes that occur. As the illness progresses, they can lose track of what year we are in and regress to a time in their lives when they were young. They may have good days when they almost seem like their old selves and then they will have bad days when they are completed disoriented. I have seen peo- ple revert back to a time in their lives, 50 years ago, when they were young and still living with their parents. I met a lady who kept insisting that she had to leave the long-term care facility she was in because she needed to go home and care for her small children. She had no idea that her children had grown and her husband had already died. She would insist that he was waiting for her to come home and make dinner. If your parent is at this stage of confu- sion and is trying to leave the premises to go home and is in a retirement residence, he or she should not be. Trying to leave the building has traditionally been called “exit seeking” and once this begins, your parent should be in a long-term care facil- ity with a secured unit because they are at risk of leaving the building and getting lost. They may try to leave without wear- ing the proper clothing for the weath- er. Very few retirement residences have “Memory Care” floors or are equipped to deal with the illness at this stage. Dealing with this confusion can be frus- trating. Even if your parent is in a long- term care facility, you may get calls to assist the staff in calming your parent. I would urge you to stay calm in dealing with your parent. Trying to “bring him/ her back to reality” won’t help. It will only agitate them more. In my experience, the best course of action is to step into his/her reality and diffuse the cause of the anxiety in the moment. For the lady who wanted to go home to her husband and children, she was told that her husband wanted to give her the night off and reserved a room where she was so that she could have a rest. She was told that her husband would be car- ing for the children that evening and then she was offered something to distract her. It worked for a time but the pattern was repeated several times before she settled for the night.
