Never
let it be said Durham
College doesn’t care about
the less fortunate.
The Durham College Student
Association has once again
joined forces with the Durham
College staff and the Kinsmen
Club of Oshawa in the annual
Christmas food drive.
Their quest is a simple but
noble one; to help make
Christmas a little merrier for
some families.
"Our goal is to adequately
feed the needy families over the
Christmas season," said Drew
Dowling, DC staff member and a
member of the Oshawa Kinsmen
Club.
From now until Dec. 15, students interested in donating to
the school food drive can drop
canned goods in the Student
Centre, the Purple Pit and in
the nurse’s office in the Simcoe
building.
Last year, food drive recipients received food baskets that
included canned goods, a turkey
dinner, bread and toys.
According to Diane Goff, staff
for
the
representative
Christmas food drive, it costs
roughly another $50 per family
aside from the donations
because of the purchase of the
extra goods in the box.
"For people who can’t bring in
food, a monetary donation
serves just as well," Goff said.
But donations do not always
come in the form of food and
toys. To make the cause successful, volunteers are needed to
help collect food for charity.
The DC food drive is not the
only Christams fundraiser in
the college trying to get food for
charity.The graphic design class
is having a pub Nov. 30, at E.P.
Taylor’s in the Student Centre.
Tickets are $3 at the door, but
students who bring a canned
food item get in for $2.
"We’d like to help anyway we
can," said Phil Butler, one of the
organizers. "The Christmas season is a time for giving."
The graphic design students
will donate the food they collect
to Helping Hands Food Bank.
"I just went back to school
because I didn’t have a job yet,"
Whiteley said. "I already have
two diplomas in sports administration."
Whiteley will be spending his
time working on the sports
apparel company he started this
past summer with help from a
student venture loan. The company is called Shockers Sports
Apparel. Whiteley buys sportswear from suppliers and sells it
to stores.
The DCSA vice-presidents are
paid $4,500 over the whole
school year, receiving payments
every two weeks. Whoever is to
replace Whiteley in the new year
will receive the second-term pay
for the position.
VPs resigning is not something new for the DCSA.
Both Rick Green, vice-president of student affairs and Lee
Marleau, vice-president of
administration, resigned last
year, Linda O’Brien, DCSA office
manager said. They were
replaced by Sandra Smith and
Katherine Schleon.
Whiteley said his decision to
leave Durham College had nothing to do with any dissatisfaction
with the Student Association or
his position on it.
"My position is fine," he said.
"It should be a full-time job."

The clinic is run by students
in the dental hygiene program.
Services provided include oral
examinations, scaling, polishing
(fillings too), radiographs,
impressions, and sealants.
Karen Underwood, co-ordinator of the dental program, said
the length of the appointment
usually depends on the case.
"The more in need you are of
treatment, of course, the longer
it takes," said Underwood.
"These are dental students. It is
not like going to a dentist where
you may only have a half hour or
an hour appointment. The average person would probably have
to come back for two or three visits."
She said a person may have to
make more than one visit
because of paper work that
needs to be done. Also, all steps
taken by students during the
examination are checked.
"As they progress through the
year they obviously get faster
and faster," she said.
The students are constantly
supervised. A dentist is on staff
and four instructors that check
various stages of the treatments.

Chronicle staff
Students at Durham College’s
Whitby campus have an edge
over other schools. His name is
Dave Millband and he’s teaching
from experience.
The Whitby campus focuses
on technical training. With this,
the school requires skilled, experienced instructors. They found
this with Millband.
He has not only worked for
several car companies, including
Toyota, Mazda and Ferarri, he
raced cars for a living and is a
freelance technical writer.
Fifty-year-old Millband was
born and raised in Toronto. His
parents hail from England.
^
When Millband graduated
from Earl Haig Secondary
School in Toronto, he didn’t have
a desk job in mind.
’ "When I finished school, I
wanted to race," he said, "So I
iwent to Europe." Destination,
| England.
; Millband went through the
’GOa, 70s and early 80s racing
Formula Fords and driving the
^Trans-Am and Can-Am circuits.
He had only one accident.
"My car was totally
destroyed." he said. "I got a
major headache."
That is when Millband realized just how expensive race car
driving can be. He began work, ing for McClarren Racing to
raise money to fix his car.
He usually keeps the cars for
one or two weeks and will write
an article on the vehicle. Several
car manufacturers have donated
vehicles to the school as well.
They include cars from General
Motors, Mazda, Ford, Chrysler,
Suzuki, Honda and Toyota.
Millband often takes the high
performance cars he is loaned to
a racetrack with a friend for a
test drive. They each take a car,
for example a Camaro Z28 and a
Mustang Cobra.
"We’ll thrash them around on
the course and compare them,"
he explained,
Millband then writes an article comparing the cars by rating
the technical qualities of the
vehicles.
"I’m really more interested in
the handling capabilities," he
said. "It’s great to have a coffee
cup holder, but I don’t care."
Millband is happy to be with
Durham College. He said the
college has a great reputation
throughout the region.
"Durham College is heavily
identified in this community," he

When Millband returned from
England, he apprenticed as a
mechanic then opened his own
racing business in Toronto,

fixing race cars and even repairing some foreign cars through
the 70s and early 80s.
Millband sold his business

The Plaza Flamingo, a nightclub/restaurant wasn’t hard to
find. In fact one could almost
smell the festivity in the air.
Guests were greeted at the
’door by a smiling waiter and
escorted to dimly lit banquettes.
The happy chatter and sumptuous smells wafting our way were
f subtle hints of the pleasures to
come.
s ’ The evening; hosted by
Carmen E. Kang, Ascencion
’Castiho and Tony Sierra of the
’Continuous Learning Program
at’Durham College, is just one
way of keeping their students
interested in the Spanish program.
Kang started the Spanish program for Durham College in
1988 in Ajax. She teaches five
levels of Spanish to about 80 students at the Whitby, Pickering
and Ajax campuses. She said 16

teaches a travel workshop.
"The need for Spanish has
grown," said Kang. "I had 32
students in my last workshop
because more people are travelling to Spanish-speaking countries."
Castiho has been teaching
levels one and two Castilian
Spanish, that is Spanish from
Spain (the c sounds are pronounced th) for the past year at
Durham’s Oshawa campus.
Sierra teaches levels one and
two at Uxbridge and Oshawa, as
well as a business-oriented
Spanish.
"Since I started teaching
Spanish, I’ve learned more
English," said Sierra, "and
opportunities to socialize with
the students help all of us."
Gundi Jeffrey and her husband Erik Purre travel extensively in Mexico, and began
learning Spanish there.
"Now we ’have business interests to consider and we must be
able to communicate/’ said
Gundi. "Besides, learning a new
language regenerates brain cells
and since learning Spanish, we
can understand other languages
as a result."
Purre enjoyed the opportunity
to practice his Spanish.
"It was great to understand
the meaning of songs I’d been
singing since childhood," he said.
"I had a great time!"
The three dedicated teachers
soon had everyone participating
in the festivities.
Approximately 75 students,
with numerous friends and relatives in attendance, took advantage of a delicious hot and cold
buffet that featured fiery salsa
(replete with green chilies) and
other dishes native to Spanishspeaking countries.
Icy cold Sangria (a red wine
punch with fruit), white and red
wines, coffee and tea all helped
to wash down the feast.
The Plaza Flamingo is a large
uninteresting room with one dis-’
tinguishing featurethe open
kitchen. However, coupled with
good food, drink and people
receptive to innovation, the
atmosphere at once became intimate and cosy.
Anyone wishing to enrol in
Spanish classes can contact Ann
Marie Bombino.

B altimore ?

And the winner of the Canadian Football League
championships is...the Baltimore Stallions.
Baltimore? What province is Baltimore in? The
answer is Maryland, but Maryland’s not a province,
it’s a state.
Somewhere along the line the equation doesn’t
work. A team from a state winning a Canadian
championship. When Baltimore won the Grey Cup,
not only did they take our trophy but a part of
Canada’s heritage.
Just to add to the disgrace they beat a Canadian
team, the Calgary Stampeders.
The Stampeders will not be remembered in the
hearts of Canadians as the team who lost the 1996
Grey Cup, but as the team who let the cup escape our
country.
In the real world the Americans are our friends,
our partners and our allies, but in the world of sports
a heated rivalry exists between us.
Hockey is our sport. We know it. The world knows
it. But when an American team skates around the ice
rink hoisting the Stanley Cup, we get defensive and
remind the Americans most of the players are
Canadian.
When the Blue Jays became the only Canadianbased team to win the World Series, Canada rejoiced
with pride. We had beaten the Americans at their
own pastime. We ignored the fact the Jays had but
one player actually born in Canada. All we knew is
we had beaten the Americans.
The same will be true if the Raptors or Grizzlies
win the NBA championship. It’s a rivalry based on
nationalism, in which each country tries to better the
other.
When the Stallions took the Grey Cup, the U.S.
got a chance to take something of ours.
What hurts most is the Americans don’t have a
quota, unlike the Canadian teams, that dictates each
Canadian CFL team must have 20 Canadians on the
team.
Baltimore was put together just two years ago.
They don’t have the tradition of a Calgary team or the
rivalry like a Toronto-Hamilton clash. In a matter of
two years they didn’t even have time to make a long
hard climb up the ladder to the Grey Cup. They just
took it.
But when they celebrate the theft of one of
Canada’s treasures, we can’t complain. We’ve been
playing that game for years.

Kids in the Hall protest disruptive
DC is a place of higher learning, not a babysitter ’s club
Another week, another idiotic protest. This time it
was Kids in the Hall, designed to protest the government cuts to day care.
The protest, planned by the Ontario Community
College Student Parliamentary Association (OCCSPA),
was supported by the
Durham College Student
Association. Why?
So that classes could be
disrupted? This is supposed
to be an institution of higher
learning, not a babysitter’s
club. Does anyone in the student association, or the student body for that matter,
believe that Mike Harris really cares whether or not a few
children were roaming the
halls of the school?
The province is broke. It cannot be stated any simpler than that. Not enough money is available to support programs at their current levels. Thanks to the
previous socialist provincial government, Ontario is
now swimming in red ink. Don’t blame Harris for the
current woes, place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the NDP. They doubled our deficit in their short
time in power, putting us so far in debt that deep cuts
like the ones being made are necessary.
Nobody likes to see innocent children suffer. Other
avenues are available ifdaycare becomes too expensive
for some students to handle. Family members should
look after the children while parents are in school.
Many people offer daycare
services in their home at
very reasonable prices. The
incessant whining of students who are parents is getting old fast. It is no fault
but their own that they are
in that situation.
They
might have to sacrifice a few
things to make it through
college just like every other
student.
Kudos go to the nursing
teacher who refused to let children disrupt her classes.
Shame on the rest of the teachers who allowed the
protest to carry into the classrooms. Shame on OCCSPA for organizing such an ill-thought protest, and
shame on the student association for supporting it.
It accomplished nothing and made the college a
worse place to be. The cuts have to be made, the cuts
will be made and the entire province, including the
children, will benefit from them in the future.

Have you over wondered what

Last year Rafel Janicki had a
contract with TRS and was supposed to be selling hotdogs until
the end of 1995 (which includes
the first part of the school year
we are in now).
As early as February last
year, it was known that TRS was
not coming back to the school
and another food service would
be taking over. Beaver Foods
won the bid for the new food contract.
"In May I heard from Ralph
Aprile (director of administrative services) and Brian
Caldwell, the district manager of
Beaver Foods," said Janicki.
’They said I would be at the

This Christmas Beaver
Foods is making a difference by
lending a helping hand to the
needy. They are holding two
draws with all the proceeds
going to help the less fortunate.
The Market Place is holding
a draw for a nostalgic coke cooler. Tickets can be bought for a
minimum donation of $2 at the
Whitby campus cafeteria or
from the cashiers at the Market
Place. All the money taken in
will go to food banks in Oshawa
and Whitby. Beaver has covered the cost of the machine.
"Beaver is interested in getting involved with charity work,
to give back to, or help the community a little," said Grant
Robertson, Beaver Foods food
service director at Durham.
Roasters is having a draw for
a Christmas gift basket. This
basket (donated by Beaver

So why not get into the spirit by
giving to the college’s food and
toy drive or volunteering your
time to help out with the event?
This year’s drive is a joint
effort among the faculty, staff,
students, and their organizations. It will be held on Tuesday,
Dec. 5, in association with the
DCSA’s Christmas food drive
that runs from Nov. 12 to Dec.
15. There will be two toll booths
set upone at each of the two
welcome centres. This will
make it easier for those who
want to donate, to drop off
their gifts on the way
into the school.

organizers, third-year

Another one of the organizers,

Crusade to stop domestic violence
Denise Brown speaks out on behalf of victims after sister ’s death
3Y TANIA MARKLE
BY

BtafT______
College-age students have to
come to terms with the fact that
abuse can happen to them, says
Denise Brown, sister of murder
victim Nicole Brown Simpson.
Brown spoke at the Women’s
Symposium
On
Domestic
Violence at the O’Keefe Centre
on
Nov. 19.
’Young girls often feel they
have to be with the popular guys
even if they are being treated
badly, but nobody has to put up
with being abused," Brown said
in an interview after the symposium.
"If a person hits you or .treats
you badly, he does not love you,"
she said. "It’s only control, and
one thing that also has to be
learned is that jealousy kills, and
people have to learn to love
themselves before they can love
someone else."
A major point Brown tried to
get across is that people shouldn’t remain silent.
’Tm personally holding every
politician accountable for their
actions," said Brown. "They
might have their cause of the
month or the year b’ut it has to be
ongoing. I will not keep quiet."
Brown travels around to shelters and meets abused women

A story of self-destruction
Overcoming the obstacle of having an eating disorder
BY CHARLENE MCCUE
Chronicle staff
Rebecca Reid seemed like any
teenage girl.
She
watched soap operas, listened to
the latest rock music, and her
bedroom walls wore covered in
posters of the "hottest" hunka.
But on the inside Rebecca was
self-destructing. She was starving herself physically and emotionally,
At the age of 16, Reid was
typical
diagnosed with anorexia, two
years after she had stopped eating. She said her eating disorder
was caused by a traumatic event
and the need for attention.
"I used to go around and tell
people that I had anorexia," said
Reid. "I thought that it was cool.
I had no self-esteem and felt that
it gave me an identity."
Reid said she thought that
because people were worried
about her eating habits that was
how they showed they cared.
"Looking back now I know
that I was never fat," said Reid.
"But I used to get up in the
morning and look in the mirror
and say you are so fat, todw you
can’t eat. At the beginning you
get hunger pains, but after a
while you just get used to it."
Reid said at times she didn’t
have the energy to carry on
everyday activities.
"I was always tired," she said.
"J was always dizzy, I was passing out. But I think after a while
it’s
normal,
you start to
think that’s
how everybody
is and that it’s

While battling the disease,

well.
"I was kind of going in a circle," she said. "I didn’t know
what I wanted, I didn’t know
who I was, I didn’t really have an
identity. I don’t think I had low
self-esteem, I think I had no selfesteem.
"A part of me always knew I
wos a good person and deserved
to be happy," said Reid. "But
another part of me, the stronger
part of me, never really accepted
who I was."
A lot of physical changes
occurred in her as well. Her skin
was no longer the peaches and
cream color it had been. She
would go days without being able
to sleep. Her menstrual cycle
was irregular and she found it
hard to concentrate,
Reid believes that society
plays a large part in the way
women feel about their bodies,
She said if people continue to
buy the magazines and watch
the television programs that
exploit women’s bodies, people
will keep on judging others by
the way they look.
"I wanted to have the ’perfect’
body," said Reid, "I wanted to
have a body, like in the magazines. I remember thinking guys
would only like me if I was thin."
She finds similarities in victims of eating disorders and alco-
holism.
She said people who
care about the victims can tell
them over and over that they
need to stop the cycle, but the
victims realize it before they
actually can do something about
it.
Reid recalls the moment she
woke up and realized it was time
to deal with her disease. It was
just after her 18th birthday, she
was feeling ill and was admitted
to hospital with a collapsed lung.
Although it was not directly
caused by her anorexia, it is
something that tends to occur in
tall, thin people. It was when
she was lying on the table having
a tube put in her chest she realized that she wasn’t immortal.
"It wasn’t worth being dead
just to get attention," said Reid.
"I was lucky because a lot of people, like Karen Carpenter, don’t
get second chances."
Reid found companionship in
one of her high school teachers.
She felt her teacher could look at
her problems from a different
point of view because she didn’t
know her family. Reid found the
teacher didn’t judge her, was a
good listener, and was trustworthy. Finally, she convinced Reid
to go to the doctor.
Although her family doctor
could determine what physical
harm had been done to her body,
Reid still needed to deal with the
emotional stress she was endur-’
ing. She was referred to a psychologist who would help with
the recovery process.
Reid had to overcome the very
events that causing her eating’
disorder. She did this through
hypnosis, discussion with her
therapist, and assertivoness
training, It was difficult, she
says because she was afraid people would stop caring about her,
"You really have to pull away
from everybody for a while," said
Reid. "You havo to totally focus
on you and become self absorbed.
I had to concentrate on getting
myself better regardless of what
anyone else thought."
She came out of therapy a different person, feeling better
about herself and with more selfesteem.
"Now I know who I am, I know
exactly what I want, I go after
what I want," said Reid. "I am
more confident and independent,"
She said that the best thing to
do if someone suffers from an
eating disorder is to be there for
them. Show them that you care
unconditionally, avoid negative
comments, and don’t nag or
judge them. Then you can try
and get them to see a professional, but above all remember not to
pressure them.
In the initial stages of her
recovery Reid attended a support
group for sufferers of eating disorders. She found it easy to
relate to other members because
they had been through similar
experiences. It also helped that
they didn’t know her and she’
didn’t know them.
Reid said there will always be
a small part of her that will wonder if she should go back to her
old eating habits.
"There are still times that I
get down on myself," she said. I
say to myself, maybe you should
lose a couple of pounds. I would ;
never starve myself again or go
to the lengths that I did. I still
watch my calories though."
Reid feels she owes it to others to let them know about her
experiences even if it helps just
one person.
"You are here for a reason,"
she aaid. "You are not here for
very long- and the time that you
have here you should spend it
being happy and fulfilled and
"
helping other people."
Rebecca Reid is finally happy
with just being herself.

cancer will be reported and 6,400
Canadian woman will die from
breast cancer.
Cancer is a group of cells that
grow and multiply uncontrollably in the body. The uncontrollable growth makes it difficult to
find a cure.
The Canadian Cancer Society
has various free booklets about
breast cancer and seif-breast
examinations. These booklets
stress that early detection of a
breast lump can greatly improve
the chances of beating a tumor.
Early detection starts at home
with solf-examinationa, which
should be done seven to 10 days
after a menstrual cycle. After
menopause breast examinations
are more important than ever,
because age is the leading factor
that increases a woman’s
chances of getting breast cancer.
Examinations should be done on
the same day every month. The
first day of every month is easier
to remember and helps establish
a routine.
"It is important for

get breast cancer. At some time
or another almost everyone will

a woman
to
take charge of her own
health," says Carol Harren, a
nurse with the Victorian Order
of Nurses.
Breast lumps may be hard or
soft and materialize in different
sizes, making it difficult for doctors to tell a patient what to look
for. Doctors at the Oshawa
General Hospital suggest starting breast checks early in life so
a woman can become familiar
with her breasts. This will allow
women to know when they feel
something different.
"Most woman are fearful of
breast cancer," says Harren. "If
they find a lump they may not
say anything because they are
afraid."
Yet the Canadian Cancer
Society states that 85 per cent of
breast lumps are not cancerous.
Still, they should all be checked
by a doctor.
Along with self-breast examinations, mammograms are an
important part of breast health.
A mammogram is a type of x-ray
that illustrates the dense tissue
in the breast. The Canadian
Health Association suggests
mammograms should be done
every two years beginning at age
50.
All mammograms are covered
by OHIP, and are done with a
doctor’s referral. If a mammogram is desired by a patient
under 50 a woman might have to
ask many doctors before receiving approval. Many doctors feel
it’s costly and unnecessary to
perform one earlier,

The least painful method is
the needle biopsy, where some of
the cells in the lump are extracted with a needle for further testing.
The second type is the incisional biopsy which is done when
the lump tissue is too solid to be
removed with a needle. This procedure involves making a small
incision near the breast lump
and removing some of the lump
for testing. If a mammogram
shows a strong possibility of a
tumor, then doctors perform an
excisional biopsy which removes
the entire breast tumor and the
surrounding tissue and lymph
nodes.
Discovering a tumor is the
first step. An extensive amount
of testing and various medical
opinions are necessary to determine what type and extent of
treatment is needed. Usually
the patient will have to endure a
lengthy regime of physical and
psychological treatment.
In the book Of Death and
Dying, author Dr. Elisabeth
Kubler-Ross outlines the different stages of pain and suffering.
Once a woman discovers she has
breast cancer the first feeling

While a woman is struggling
with her insecurities and fears of
death, doctors concentrate on
trying to stop the cancer from
growing. Cancer treatments are
divided into three categories:
Local treatment works with
the breast itself using
surgery and/or radiation
therapy.
Systemic treatment targets
the rest of the body
through chemotherapy
or hormone therapy.
Immuno complementary
treatment is used to
boost the patient’s
immune system.
Carol Harren
need to understand the meaning
of life and the purpose of suffering. A religious cancer patient,
may at this stage of suffering,
look toward the church for
answers.
When local treatment is used
the decision must be made as to
what type of surgery will be performed.
,
Surgical treatment is provided at three levels of breast
removal, and involves removing
the entire tumor and different
amounts of breast tissue. The
procedure is used alone only
after tests have shown the cancer cells have not spread into the
rest of the body.
If the tumor has not spread,
doctors will perform a partial
mastectomy, sometimes called a
lumpectomy. This procedure
removes the tumor, and as much
as 50 per cent of the surrounding
tissue, fat and lymph nodes from
the armpit. This is usually followed by radiation therapy.
The next level in surgery, and
most commonly used, is the modified radical mastectomy. This
involves removing all of the
breast from the collarbone down
to the rib, and the muscle at the
back of the armpit to the breastbone. Lymph nodes in the
armpit will also be removed to
determine if the cancer has
spread.
The most extreme, and least
commonly used type of surgery is
the radical mastectomy. This
procedure is used when cancer
has spread to the chest muscle.
Surgeons remove the entire
breast, the pectoral muscles in
chest and sometimes parts of the
rib cage. This operation is done
only after a second or third opinion because it is deforming, and
is only to be used if absolutely
necessary.
If the patient is afraid of operations, or if one is not needed,
doctors may use radiation therapy, because it kills the cells in
the tumor without resorting to
surgery. This treatment is also
exclusively used if the cancer
cells have not spread from their
original location.
If the cancer cells have
spread, chemotherapy would be
used to treat the whole body.
Chemotherapy cornea from the
words "chemical" and "treatmont." This process is used if the
cancer has spread, because it
kills the cancerous cells throughout the body.
Most people have at some
time taken some form of
chemotherapy, such as penicillin
for an ear infection, though the
word chemotherapy is most commonly used when speaking of
cancer treatment.
Yet, in killing cancerous cells,
healthy normal cells are also
affected. The cells most susceptible to chemotherapy damage
are in the bone marrow, intestinal tract, reproductive system
and the hair follicles. If these
systems are affected it can lead
to weakness, sickness, nausea,
infertility and baldness.
Cost of chemotherapy treatment depends on the type of
treatment the patient receives
and the amount of drugs needed
to battle the cancer. CHIP covers any cancer treatment at a
cancer treatment centre or a hospital. Additional drugs may be
prescribed. These drugs are not
covered by OHIP, but may be
deductible from additional
health insurance plans if all
receipts are kept.
During treatment, cancer
patients will need frequent hospital stays, physical examinations, blood tests, scans and xrays to judge the chemotherapy’s
progress.
If the cancer treatment is successful, the patient’s body will
become free of cancer cells, a
process called remission. If
remission continues for five
years or more doctors consider
the patient cured. Most patients
never consider themselves completely cured because they know
there is always a possibility of
the cancer returning,

Anorexia, bulimia still exist still kill
Learn more about
these disorders

BY CHARLENE MCCUE
Chronicle BtnfT
Imagine living a life where
food is the enemy, afraid to go
out with friends or family
because you don’t want to eat in
front of them.
You constantly obsess over
how many calories are in the little food you do eat.
You think that you’re fat
when you have already lost one
quarter of your body weight.
It may seem ridiculous a person could actually feel this way.
But for someone living with
anorexia and bulimia it is a way
of life,
It was the way Sheena
Carpenter lived her life. She lost
her six-year battle with anorexia
and bulimia in November 1993,
at the age of 22. Sheena’s mother found her lying dead on the
kitchen floor. She weighed just
50 pounds. Her body had shut
down. Sheena’s liver, heart and
brain were damaged from starvation. She ate just once a week,
on the day she would meet with
her mother.
Sheena had dreams of becoming’
an actress and model, but
those dreams may have been her
death sentence.
At age 14, a
modelling agency told Sheena
her face was too fat and that is
when she developed a negative
view of herself.
Anorexia nervosa is a drastic
weight loss resulting from dieting and often accompanied by
intense exercise. Most women
and giria with anorexia are motivated by a strong desire to be
thin and have a fear of being fat,
Bulimia is the frequent
change in weight due to a cycle
of binge eating followed by purging to rid the body of unwanted
food. For one person it could
mean an extra spoonful of sugar,
for someone else it might be a
bag of burgers.
Purging includes vomiting,
intense exercise, fasting, the
using laxatives, diuretics (water
loss pills), or diet pills. These
only rid the body of unwanted
calories. And they put pressure
on a person’s system.
Vomiting puts stress on the
stomach, throat and heart, as
well as ruining tooth enamel.
Diuretics rid the body of
water, essential nutrients and
minerals.
Laxatives strain the bowels
and large intestine and rid the
body of water and nutrients.
Most bulimics do not keep the
weight off because purging is not
effective.
In Ontario alone, eating disorders control the lives of more
than 70,000 women, most of
them in their teens and 20s. By

Plow cuts dangerous
BY JIM MACDONALD
Chronicle staff
When the Ontario government made funding cuts to the
snow plow system last October,
the Ontario Public Service
Employees Union warned there
would be more accidents this
winter.
It appears they might be
right.
On Nov. 12, there was a twovehicle accident on Highway 17
in Northern Ontario.
Kim
Butler, a 39-year-old mother,
was killed instantly. Her 16year-old daughter died one week
Inter in a Sudbury hospital.
An inquest has been launched
into the women’s deaths.
Officially, poor road conditions after a bad snowstorm
were to blame, but according to
Bert Hart, head of job security
for OPSEU, the roads shouldn’t
be blamed as much as the Harris
government for making the cuts.
’The worst, as you can probably imagine, is already beginning to happen," Hart said. "We
know that in different areas in
the north,"
There are always fatalities
connected to poor road conditions. That was when there was
a full complement (of people
working)."
Because of the lack of funding
from the Harris government, 125
seasonal staff are out of a job, as
well as 12.3 per cent fewer salt
and sand machines operators
and 10.8 per cent fewer plow drivers across the province.
Hart says with the reduction
in complement and equipment,
"we can expect more of this,
unfortunately."
Like most groups concerned
about cuts in their areas, Hart
feels the government axed too
much. But what separates his
group from most is they are in a

’The government just decided
they were going to take a certain
numbers of dollars out of the
Ministry of Transportation (budget) and this is one area where
they can reduce costs. Safety
was not a consideration."
Hart says with the lack of
available workers, they each
must patrol 65 per cent more
road than previously. Even if
the province can survive the
manpower cuts, drivers must
contend with the lack of availability of snowplows. To save
money, plows can only be used
16 hours a day instead of the
previous 24 hours.
If an emergency arises where
plows and sanders are needed
immediately, the province must
pay the workers overtime.

The assessment includes

normalize their eating habits.
Patients make regular visits so
their progress can be monitored
and they are encouraged to
record the food they eat in the
process of recovery.
Grant finds for some people
following the guidelines of the
program can be hard.
"Working with eating disorders is particularly difficult," she
said. "So many other things are
going on psychologically and

Feelings, conflicts, dangerous
attitudes and alternative behaviors are topics discussed in group
therapy
at
the
University
Centre.
Billings said some of the common characteristics of eating disorder patients are no selfesteem, family or relationship
problems and a history of sexual,
physical or emotional abuse.
She also said eating disorders
don’t usually stem from any specific cause.
Some anorexics and bulimics
are referred by a doctor to HUGS
International, a program revolving around healthy choices and
self-image acceptance. A group
of 15 people gather for two
hours, once a week, for eight
weeks. Each session has a specific theme.
Susan Jackson, a HUGS program consultant, said they try to
teach people how to make
healthy and natural choices
about food and exercise. The
program requires people to lose
weight slowly and subtly so it is
easier on their bodies.
Jackson doesn’t worry about
people having a severe weight
loss in the program.
"If they are following HUGS it
wouldn’t happen," she said.
The HUGS program is based
on the book You Count, Calories

Lynn Carpenter, an executive
assistant at the Toronto Sun and
Sheena’s mother, hopes to open a

Growing tired of going to con-
certs where you can’t hear yourself think over screeching guitars and fans? Sick of watching
kids mosh and crowd surf, not to
mention being pushed around by
them? Check out England’s
Tindersticks.
Arriving at Lee’s Palace in
Toronto Nov. 14 with mixed feelings, having never heard of the
band, I was uncertain whether
driving to and from Toronto in a
snowstorm was worth it. I was
pleasantly mistaken,
Tindersticks is a six-man
band, and though I am normally
turned off by more than three or
four people on stage, they have
an easy sound which may not be
achieved with fewer people.
Particularly impressive was
Dickon Hinchcliffe’s masterful
playing of the violin.
The crowd was unusually
diverse. People of all ages were
dressed in every style imaginable.
When Tindersticks took the
stage at 11:30, immersed in blue
flood lights, the crowd stood in
awe and listened to them make
magic. There was no jumping up
and down, no pushing and no
crowd surfing. The people at
this concert were there for the
music and nothing else.
"Stuart Staples voice is
entrancing," said Kim Leblanc, a
28-year-old fan.
Staples has a deep, flowing
voice that truly does hold the listener hypnotized. Along with
Neil Fraser’s guitar and zither,
David Boulter’s piano, Al
Mark
Macaulay’s
drums,
Colwill’s bass and Hinchcliffe’s
guitar and violin, it makes for a
sound which is simply delightful.
The lyrics are also interesting. They seem relevant to
almost everyone. This is the way
the band wants it. Writing songs
is a co-operative effort, and they
don’t write them about personal
experiences. They write them
for their fans.
"Our songs don’t mean anything if they don’t have some
kind of connection to someone’s
life listening to it," said Staples.
"In my mind we are never finished them."
Tindersticks rocked Lee’s
Palace for a full set of about an
hour and a half. Applause was
abundant but the crowd was
never out of control.

The movie to see is B ond, James B ond
BY JEFFREY CLARK
Chronicle atoff___________
Goldeneye
Starring: Pierce Brosnan,
Famke Janssen, Sean Bean
****
It is said that absence makes
the heart grow fonder. After six
interminable years Bond is back
and he is finally looking good
again with his latest adventure
Goldoneye.
Brosnan (Lawnmower Man,
TVs Remington Stcele) appears
in this film as the newest incarnation of 007. The plot involves
a group of Russian dissidents,
led by a terrorist who calls himself Janus. They are trying to
gain control of an old cold war
satellite named Goldeneye.
When used, Goldeneye releases
an electromagnetic
pulse that
destroys all electronic equipment
at its target and
300 miles beyond.
Janssen
plays
Xenia Onatopp,
the group’s top
assassin assigned
to stop Bond from
in
interfering
their plans and
Izabella Scorupco plays a computer programmer, the only witness to the group’s theft of the
Goldeneye controls and who is
behind it all.
Much speculation has been
made over whether Brosnan
could make a satisfactory Bond
when compared to his four predecessors, most notably Sean
Connery and Roger Moore.
Brosnan appears comfortable
portraying Bond the way he sees
fit and does not embarrass himself in the role (there is even an
in-joke regarding the last time
he was supposed to play the role
that people will catch if they are
in the know). The only negative
aspect of his performance is that
he sometimes starts to play
Bond in the same way he played
Remington Steele, the TV char-
actor that made him famous.
The supporting cast are fine
in their roles as well, with
Jansson shining the most as the
assassin who has a way of killing
people that can only be described
as unique in the history of modern cinema. The only disappointment is Dame
Judi Dench as the
who
new
M,
appears as being
somewhat cold and
heartless and not
having the same
energy as her predecessor in the role.
The enduring character of Q also
makes not much
more than a cameo
which is kind of sad as well.
Brosnan makes a fine and
credible Bond. His work should
bejudgd on the basis of his performance and not compared with
anyone else in that role. There
are guaranteed to be many more
Bond films to come.

Genius/Gza: sex, drugs and bad music
BY CHARLENE MCCUE
Chronicle staff__________
Genius/Gza is the hip-hop
master, or at least he is in his
own mind.
The lyrics in his new CD
Liquid Swords convey the ego of
a man who survived growing up
in the hood with the pressure of
drugs and gangs.
The beginning of the CD is
interesting as a child speaks of
his father decapitating people.
Songs Killah Hills 10304 and
Cold War both sound like scary
Halloween music. Gold is definitely the best and least annoying tune to listen to. Every song
begins with a short spoken story.
All the tracks on Liquid
Swords have a great beat. But
that is what also ruins this CD,
all the songs sound the same. It
is hard to tell the difference.
Otherwise it is a good collection of works coming from someone fairly new to the hip-hop
scene.
Nature calls Ace Ventura to a good movie
BY JOEL MCGUIRE
Chronicle staff_______
Our intrepid hero Ace is back
in this second film about a
slightly strange pet detective
who, this time, has to find The
Great White Bat.
The film starts off with Ace
(Jim Carrey) attempting a daring rescue of a raccoon that is
trapped on a mountain ledge.
This looks like a scene right out
of ClifTfhanger. Of course, Ace
loses the raccoon and gives up
his pet detecting career. But not
for long.
Soon he is off in search of The
Great White Bat, sacred to a
tribe in Africa. Ace must find the
bat in order to prevent a tribal
war which would allow a land ,
developer to take over and develop the property.
Throughout the film Ace is up
to his usual tricks with goofy
faces, humorous lines and all the
other comedic bits that have
made Carrey famous.
To be critical of the plot or acting in this film would be difficult. It was never meant as anything more than a slapstick. And
on that level it hits the mark.
A small item needs to be
noted, however. Why is it that
these types of comedies occasionally try to be serious? That happened in a few parts of this film
and it really detracts from the
humor in the movie. Being serious just doesn’t work.
Of note in this film was the
soundtrack. It featured some of
the songs from the original
movie including The Lion Sleeps
Tonight. The funny thing about
it was that people were laughing
at the soundtrack even when
nothing particularly exciting
was happening in the film. A
good job by the creators of this
production, it helped keep the
film moving along.
So, if you’re in for a great comedy, check out Ace Ventura. It
will probably be the funniest
eight bucks you have ever spent.

Chronicle Btaff
There is a new addition to
Northwood Buffalo and Exotic
Animal Ranch in Seagrave,
north of Port Perry. It may not
be a buffalo, but it sure is exotic.
Norm Philips, owner of the
ranch, now has a polar bear to
keep the rest of his beasts company. The public will have to
wait until the ranch re-opens in
the spring, though, before they
can see the bear.
Nanook came from a private
zoo in Gananoque, where he
spent the first eight years of his
life. Conditions were not so good
for him there, so Philips rescued
him and took him home.
"It took us over three hours,
with bait, to get him into the
trailer," said animal handler
Sharon Deering. "He did not
want to get in there."
Nanook had been kept in a
small concrete box, with a threefoot-deep puddle for swimming
in. When he arrived at
Northwood, he couldn’t run,
could barely walk, and was still
getting used to grass under his
feet rather than concrete.
Nanook now joins the rest of
the animals under the care of
Deering and Philips. They have
the responsibility of cleaning
their cages, tending to their
problems and feeding them.
This is no small undertaking,
as the 1,600-pound Nanook
alone eats up to 150 pounds of
eats every day, so you can imagine how much meat he con-
sumes."
In addition to the polar bear,
Philips got a barrel full of monkeys and a couple of cats, including a dreadlocked and very territorial lion (who attempted to eat

pictures). These animals came to

zoo could not take care of them

"Nanook came from the

was shot," said Deering.
Polar bears are immense

almost a ton. He needs a lot of

water. Polar bears love water.
They love to swim and dive and
generally splash around. Where

The new animals will slowly

occupants and will soon be a

The philosophy of Ellen
BY KIM CHURCHILL
Although Ellen Degeneres is
not a doctor, nor does she play
one on TV, she has a lot of
insight as to why people do the
things they do.
She has put what she has
learned about people and herself
into a book called My point...and
I do have one.
Degeneres has crossed the
line from funny to downright
hilarious as she describes her
experiences with elevators, public washrooms and just trying to
meet the 60,000-word minimum
for the book.
If you like silly humor, the
book is worth reading oven if it’s
just for the second chapter titled
A Letter to My Friend or A Frog
in a Sombrero Does Not A Party
Make. In this chapter she tries
to apologize for her behavior at
her friend’s party and tries to
make excuses for herself like, "I
just looked over the recipe and it
called for two tablespoons of
rum, I misread that as two bottles of rum."
Don’t try to find a serious side
to this book. The closest she
comes to serious is in the chapter
called The Time Ellen Degeneres
Had An Emergency where she
tolls about going to the hospital
because of a cyst. Even this is
not a serious topic for her. She

Browns,
the
Cleveland Stallions, what? At
press time there were strong
rumors coming from Ohio that
the Cincinatti Bengals will move
to Cleveland and call themselves
the Browns.
Meanwhile the Cleveland
Browns will change their name
to the Baltimore Bengals, Give
the people of Cleveland some
credit. No matter how much
they dress up the Bengals to look
and act like the Browna, they
ain’t the Browns, You’re not
going to ease the pain of thou-

Cleveland’s mayor introducing
the new Browns saying; "Look,
see they never left, they were
right here the whole time."

Toronto’s new team. With their

without a laugh following it.
Hey, this team is good, but playoffs? Ha!

he’ll miss him. He’s left the

According to White, he joined
the Marlins because he’ll be back

Florida means he’ll be closer to
his father, who lives in Jamaica.

supposed to believe that money
