My party’s the best choice for workers because we advocate a large amount of government downsizing.

OCT 3 2007 Page 11 Breastfeeding campaign kicks off in Durham Campaign targets fathers encouraging them to be more active in the breastfeeding process Durham Region Health Department is launching its annual breastfeeding campaign, which coincides with World Breastfeeding Week, running from Oct. 1 to 7. Organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding, the international event aims to promote, inform and sup- port breastfeeding mothers. The event is also targeting fathers, encouraging them to be active in the breastfeeding process. Research has shown that mothers who receive support from the fathers are more likely to continue breastfeeding to six months and beyond. Breastfeeding is seen as a beneficial step in a child’s development. “It provides the perfect balance of nutrients, and pro- tects babies from allergies and illnesses such as ear infections, childhood diabetes, bowel disease and some cancers,” said Kim Bucknell, a public health nurse with the Health Department. The World Health Organization, Health Canada and the Canadian Pediatric Society all recommend breast- feeding exclusively for the first six months. After this time, babies can be introduced to other foods along with continued breastfeeding to the age of two and beyond. The Health Department is offering a variety of serv- ices and resources including a “24-Hour Cribside Assistance: Baby Manual for Dads.” For more informa- tion on the breastfeeding campaign contact the Durham Kayle, a shaded silver Persian loves opening her own presents.

Durham CAS recently announced the opening of its new office in north Oshawa. “This building is a realization of the dreams of many,” said Maret-Sadem Thompson, presi- dent of Durham CAS. Before the new building was built, the 400 staff of Durham CAS were located in three different buildings in Durham Region, two in Oshawa and one in Ajax. Now, all the staff are situated in one building. “The new building will allow for better staff cohesion,” said Wanda Secord, executive director of Durham CAS, adding it was sometimes difficult for staff to communicate throughout the three other buildings. “We have 400 staff who believe kids’ dreams of a safe and happy life should be a reality,” said Thompson. “And I see this new building as a dream machine.” The new building will be home to a new health clinic, more visit- ing spaces for families and a new playground for children. “It’s our vision for kids to grow Durham Children’s Aid Society executive director Wanda Secord, right, and up in a safe, healthy, caring envi- mayor John Gray celebrate the opening of the new facility on Taunton Road in ronment,” said Secord. “This new Oshawa. building is a friendly, child- focused atmosphere. And it is going to be great.” tinues to need more volunteers and Durham CAS is responsible for providing child protec- foster families to help the organi- tion services to children under the age of 16, and their fam- zation in their mission to help chil- ilies in Durham Region.

Durham CAS is responsible for inves- tigating allegations of child abuse and neg- lect, protecting chil- dren and youth when they are at risk of harm, covering basic living costs for chil- dren and youth in their care and placing children for adoption when needed. Each year, Durham CAS receives about 8,000 calls from peo- ple concerned about children in the com- munity. In 2006-07, Durham CAS had a total of 1,257 children they served during the year, compared to the 1,245 children served in 2005-06. Currently, Durham CAS is serv- ing about 900 children throughout Durham Region. The majority are from Oshawa alone. Secord says that 900 children may seem like a large num- ber, but it is a small percentage when compared to the total number of children throughout Durham Region. Durham CAS con-

It's homes played as big a role in the retirement worth the visit or call 1-800-O-Canada if you plans of Doug and Linda Walker as did their pen- have any specific questions. sion plans. The Quispamsis, N.B. couple built two rental properties-along with a new house of their own-all full of features that will lower their utility and fuel costs for years to come. The couple uses their pensions, supplemented by rental income and tiny energy bills, to give them the comfortable lifestyle they've been waiting for. "The long-term savings in utility bills are crucial to the feasibility of a project like ours," says Walker. "When we began to conceive of this plan, we saw right away that success would depend on several things. We needed enough rental income to pay the mortgage, maintenance and utility costs, and have some left over for ourselves. We had to build top-quality rental units and we had to create something the town would support and be proud of." The Walkers succeeded on all counts. Today, their new retirement home stands near two fourplexes, each with 1,350 square feet (approxi- mately 125 square metres) of living space. All were built using Natural Resources Canada's (NRCAN) EnerGuide rating system. Similar to the system that Canadians have long used to compare the per- formance of different models of house- hold appliances and vehicles, EnerGuide provides ratings that corre- late directly to the amount of energy new homes will consume. In essence, the higher the rating, the less energy a new home will use. Energy-efficient homes score 75 (out of 100) or more on the EnerGuide scale, while upgrad- ed, older houses typically achieve 65 or less. The Walker properties all scored at least 80. "We're tickled pink to accomplish our goal," says Walker. "We've got our- selves and eight other families living in comfortable, affordable, high-quality homes that are also easy on the envi- ronment." Visit www.newhomes.gc.ca for help-
