All parents of children in car seats are invited to the event at Motor City Saturn Isuzu, 1520 Dundas St. E., between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The committee was formed to increase the awareness and prac- tice or proper car seat installation and usage.

Motorcyclist injured in Pickering crash PICKERING —A 24-year- old motorcyclist is in hospital with serious head injuries after colliding with a car at an intersec- tion Wednesday. Durham Regional Police said the man was westbound on Maple Ridge Drive when he struck a westbound car that was making a left turn at Cedarcroft Crescent about 6 p.m., police said. The man, who was thrown from the motorcycle, was taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital in critical condition and transferred to St. Michael’s Hos- pital in Toronto. The 22-year-old driver of the car, a Port Perry man, was not in- jured. The traffic management unit is investigating and asks witnesses to call 905-683-9100, ext. 5226. Councillors call for report on Region activity in Pickering BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering councillors say the Re- gion is giving this city the short end of the stick. Now they want the numbers that prove it. “Pickering residents are not getting the bang for their dollar they deserve,” said Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Holland, adding while Pickering repre- sents 20 per cent of the total Durham Region assess- ment, the City is getting back far less than 20 per cent of the regional budget for services and roads projects. “It’s not just roads either,” added Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “Police, ambulance, emergency health services, social housing... in terms of social services, Pickering has been the poor cousin for many, many years.” Pickering council voted unanimously Monday night to ask regional staff to put together a report on the Region of Durham’s activity in Pickering over the last 10 years and its plans for the next 10. Pickering staff will then bench the Region’s activi- ty against the dollar value of the City’s portion of the regional assessment and the needs of the municipality, as identified by council. The plan is to do the report annually in order to de- termine if the City is getting what it pays for.

About 12:45 a.m., the gloved bandit entered the shop at 1450 Kingston Rd., threatened two em- ployees and made off with a small amount of cash, police said. The robber, who wore a black jacket, blue jeans and a nylon stock- ing over his face, fled westward on foot. The victims, a 23-year-old Whit- by man and a 44-year-old Oshawa man, were not hurt. Machete wielded in pizza store holdupAjax-Pickering bus fares on the rise Extra funds cover costs and service improvements AJAX —Transit users are going to have to dig a little deeper to ride on Ajax Picker- ing Transit Authority (APTA) buses. Under a new plan to harmo- nize fares between the old Ajax and Pickering systems, the one-time adult cash fare is ris- ing to $1.75, from $1.50, on July 2. However, riding the bus is still a bargain, according to APTA general manager Ted Galinis. “Even with this needed fare increase, we remain the low- est-priced transit operator in Durham,” he noted. Whitby and Oshawa both charge $2, while the TTC fare is $2.25. Mr. Galinis said it is the first fare increase since 1996. Other changes effective July 2 include a new option for transit users to purchase a 12- ride adult pass for $20, a sav- ings of $1 over the same num- ber of rides using the cash fare. There’s no change to the 50- cent fare for those connecting with the GO train. Use of ‘smartcards’ is com- ing to an end in Ajax. Charging the cards will stop June 10 and they will expire Aug. 30. Mr. Galinis added the fare increases will help cover the costs for bus operations and service improvements planned for this summer and fall. They’re also needed to pay for higher fuel and operating costs. Fares account for 50 per cent of the cost of providing service. Mr. Galinis said the new fares will also allow the authority to increase services without a significant effect on local taxes. There are also changes to the seniors’ fare and who qual- ifies. The fare will be 65 cents, which is a 15-cent increase in Pickering, although it remains the same in Ajax. A senior is now considered someone who is 60. In Ajax it had been 55, but 65 in Picker- ing.The cash fare for a senior is $1.50 in Whitby, while Os- hawa and the TTC charge $1.25. The student cash fare will be $1.25, which is what Ajax has been charging. For Picker- ing students, it’s a 25-cent in- crease. Specialized services will cost $1.75, a 25-cent rise in both Ajax and Pickering. A chart with all the fares is on the APTA Web site at www.townofajax.com/apta.

Gale Mossman, 61, a former insurance broker and now manager of an Ajax travel company, re- places longtime board member Jerry Moskaluk. Ms. Mossman, former chairman of the Rouge Valley Health System board of directors, official- ly took her seat at the board’s monthly meeting last Tuesday. The married mother of four and grandmother is also a former campaign chairman for the United Way of Ajax-Pickering. Mossman joins Durham police services boardMunicipal councils to get their say on chairman’s position Durham chairman election report travelling to area towns and cities BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Local municipali- ties will have their say on how Durham’s chairman’s position is cho- sen before a report comes back to re- gional council for a July 10 vote. An ad hoc committee reviewing the process for choosing a regional chairman submitted a report putting forth seven options for consideration: • The chairman be appointed by the elected members of regional council with the position open to all electors of Durham; • The chairman be appointed by the elected members of regional council with the position open only to elected members of regional council with the chairman retaining his or her elected position in addition to that role; • The chairman be elected at large by Durham voters; • The appointment of the chairman be completed at the end of a term of council instead of the beginning; • The appointment of the chairman be based on a weighted vote by as- sessment of taxes; • The appointment of the chairman be conducted by secret ballot among elected regional councillors; and • The eight Durham municipalities be requested to include a question re- garding public opinion on the direct election of the chairman on the 2003 municipal election ballots. The municipalities are to report back June 18 with their thoughts on the options. On June 26 the report will go back to the ad hoc committee before going before committee of the whole and council for debate July 10. At a committee of the whole meet- ing May 8, the report was presented for approval to forward to area mu- nicipalities. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri-Lynn O’- Connor said she was “astounded” at parts of the report, adding she was es- pecially surprised at the suggestion of a secret ballot. This option is al- lowed under the current Municipal Act but has never been part of the Durham process. “If people in this chamber can’t stand up and be accounted for, they shouldn’t be in this chamber,” she said. Durham Chairman Roger Ander- son pointed out the report was before committee for referral only, with de- bate of its contents to take place in July. The Uxbridge mayor, who was ab- sent the day council provided a man- date to the committee, also took issue with the idea of allowing the area municipalities to comment on what she said is a decision that is solely the responsibility of regional council. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle agreed. “It is this council that decides. It is our job,” he said. “It’s what we think we ought to do. What the Region of Durham does on this is a matter for this council to decide.” But the majority of the committee, and later council, decided input from area municipalities does not take away regional council’s right to make the decision. It will simply inform that decision, suggested Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “This council has always consult- ed with the public and area munici- palities,” he said. “We have a long tradition of consulting. Will the deci- sion be made here? Yes. Do area mu- nicipalities have an interest in how we make this decision? You bet they do.” MARCEL BRUNELLE ‘What the Region of Durham does on this is a matter for this council to decide..’ Coming Soon Ajax’s Newest Restaurant!

Most of council agreed it currently is not. “The regional Official Plan identifies areas like our downtown, Hwy. 2, and the waterfront, but they don’t sup- port them with actual dollars,” said Coun. Hol- land. “They’re not supporting the lower-tier municipalities.” However, Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, chair- man of the Durham works committee, sug- gested there might be several reasons why it looks like the Re- gion isn’t spend- ing dollars here. He said local residents, who have often stood up against local road projects, could be part of the reason the dollars aren’t flowing west- wards. “There has been an opposition to doing some projects in Pickering and it’s very dif- ficult to get the Region behind a project when you can’t get the community behind you,” he said. And, while he agreed recent history has not shown it, Pickering wasn’t always left with the smallest piece of the regional pie. “Our share will come and our share has been here,” he added. Council has asked that the report come to the first committee of the whole meeting each November, starting this year.

With the program, the Town will pay to install Crime Stop- per signs, while the program of- fers a reward for tips that lead to an arrest. In September of last year, the Town considered establishing a $5,000 reward for tips on local vandalism, but, with a Crime Stoppers partnership, only the program can offer a reward for criminal activity. Callers are guaranteed anonymity with Crime Stoppers. Durham Regional Police Sergeant Kevin Slaney, the head of the program here, said in an interview the Town is using Crime Stoppers to promote its anti-vandalism initiatives. “They use us to profile a crime,” he said. “My under- standing is they’re looking at various ways to encourage citi- zens to report any damage to civic property. They can use us as a way to report a crime.” Last fall, the Town estab- lished an anti-vandalism com- mittee to come up with ways to combat damage to municipal property. Whitby and Oshawa also have partnerships with Crime Stoppers, and the sergeant calls it “an excellent, proactive way” to battle vandalism. “They’re not in the reward business and they don’t want to encourage anyone to call the Town,” Sgt. Slaney said. “It’s fear and apathy. That’s what Crime Stoppers is so successful in defeating. For fear there’s anonymity and for apathy there’s a reward.” Contrary to popular belief, Crime Stoppers isn’t a police program, he added. It’s admin- istered by a civilian board of di- rectors and is a charitable, non- profit organization. The Town will publicize its involvement with Crime Stoppers over the coming months. Other than posting the signs, the Town’s in- volvement is limited. Crime Stoppers is run by the board, which considers the rewards. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P A.J.

Whitby Mental Health Centre closes units BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer DURHAM ––Protesters no longer line the curbs with placards but the eight-week OPSEU labour dispute contin- ues to plague the region’s psy- chiatric hospital. The pubic workers’ strike intensified the employee short- age at Whitby Mental Health Centre and forced staff to close two clinical units this week. Ron Ballantyne, admin- istrator for the Gordon Street facility, said the hospital does- n’t have enough employees to provide all of its services. “We reassigned some staff to more adequately staff other clinical programs.” The mental health centre serves residents in Durham, Toronto, York, City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, Northumberland and Peterbor- ough. During the strike it was operating with managers and less than 30 per cent of its staff. Many programs, such as occu- pational therapy and vocation- al and recreational services, weren’t available at the 325- bed facility. Administration closed the psychotherapy and neuropsy- chiatry units this week despite striking employees returning to work Monday. The neuropsychiatry unit is a 25-bed in-patient program that provides special care to people with brain damage and mental health problems. The “less than 20” patients in that unit were transferred to other areas of the hospital, accord- ing to Mr. Ballantyne. That unit has been closed indefi- nitely. Mr. Ballantyne expects the psychotherapy unit to open within two weeks. “It’s really too early to (pre- dict) any endurance to this dif- ficulty.” Problems exist because the centre could not recruit staff during the labour dispute. It also lost some part-time em- ployees who sought work in other facilities. It already has challenges recruiting and re- taining staff because of wage discrepancies with other health care facilities, said Joan Gates, president of OPSEU Local 331. The new contract between the Province and OPSEU did- n’t address the issue and half of the employees returned to work reluctantly because it wasn’t resolved, she added. Mr. Ballantyne would not provide specifics about how short-staffed the hospital is, but said the problem exists in various departments. Regardless, he says man- agement is pleased the hospi- tal is operating on a more reg- ular routine. “We are back in business. We are proud of this facility.” RON BALLANTYNE ‘We reassigned some staff to more adequately staff other clinical programs.’ Ajax moves to join crime-stopping team Pearson marks 15 years AJAX —Join Lester B.

Corner of Station Street and Commercial Ave. Getting ready to grow Gardening advice brought to you by the Ajax in Bloom Garden Competition committee. Don’t Fight Mother Nature Check plant labels for recommended growing (wet/dry, sun/shade). When you put them in the right spots, your plants are more likely to reach their full potential. Try some drought resistant (xeriphytic) species, and you’ll have more time to sit and enjoy the garden. To get some ideas, visit the Pickering village Parkette and the Water Efficient demonstration Garden at the Durham Region headquarters. The Plant Below the Ground Organic matter such as mushroom and household compost, or partially decomposed bark mulches condition the soil and help roots absorb water and nutrients. Plants will thrive and you’ll spend less money on other types of fertilizers. Want to Attract Wildlife? Attract more wildlife by providing a variety of plant material so that food and shelter are available throughout the year. Be sure to provide a source of clean water for thirsty birds. For the toughest Turf – Aerate, fertilize and top dress your lawn in early spring. Leave de-thatching until fall. – Water your lawn deeply (about 1” of water or 2 hours with the average lawn sprinkler) once a week when necessary. This is better than light daily watering. – Keep your mower blades at 2 3/4” - 3”, cutting only 1/3 of the grass at a time. Leave clippings on the lawn to decompose - they add essential nutrients. – If hand weeding the lawn is not an option, try reducing pesticide use by spot spraying and using organic controls. Local garden centres offer qualified advice and helpful fact sheets. Also, check out www.wildaboutgardening.org. ~~~~~~~ Kathryn Carnegie, master gardener, and Susanne Lowe, NP, are coordinators of the Ajax in Bloom Garden Competition.

It has been said a little wine with meals is good for your health. To date, I have not heard of such a claim in favour of smoking. But I do remember that when I smoked, I yearned for a cigarette after eating or while having a drink. This is my story of how I quit smoking, written from my own per- sonal experience... and it works. After 33 years of smoking, and hearing complaints from my wife and kids about it, I finally quit in 1982. I used to smoke an average of 12 to 14 cigarettes a day. I decided it was time to stop when I started coughing up dark-coloured mucus (tar, I guess) in the morning. After being bothered by this thought, I decided to begin a pro- gram of my own. To begin with, I would limit myself to one less cig- arette per day for three to five days. Then I would cut out one more cig- arette for another three to five days. I did this until I was down to six or seven cigarettes per day. After reaching this point, I would cut my cigarettes in half because, as we all know, when you light one up and have a few puffs, it usually satisfies your demand for a while. After cutting down even more with this method for about a week or two, I changed to another plan, that is, to purchase tobacco and cig- arette papers and roll my own. This helped because I would really have to crave a smoke pretty badly to bother rolling one. Not only that, but when you lit one of these and took a drag, it would burn away like a fuse (inex- perienced at rolling cigarettes) and wouldn’t last for more than a few puffs. After going through about a half-pack of tobacco, I had to go for an operation and decided this was as good a time as any to stop altogether. That was July of 1982 and I haven’t had a cigarette since... and I don’t have a craving. About a year after I quit smok- ing, I went to the doctor and told him I was still coughing up mucus in the mornings. The only difference was it was clear in colour. He told me I had damaged my lungs enough from smoking that I would have this problem for the rest of my life. Well, here it is 2002, and I still cough up in the mornings. Small, steady steps to leaving dark days behind Longtime smoker offers plan and inspiration for anyone else trying to kick the habit for good Safe needles are answer to drugs To the editor: Re: ‘Give up unwinnable war — program has it right,’ Martin Derbyshire column, April 21. Harm reduction, which Mr. Derbyshire suggests, is an amazingly simple and yet underused strategy for dealing with drugs. It accepts people may do inherently dan- gerous things, and tries to reduce the level of danger present with those activities. We promote condoms when having sex, and the designated driver when drinking — both of which have saved countless lives. Safe nee- dles and other similar programs could save countless more. Ari Elias-Bachrach, President, Washington University Students for Sensible Drug Policy St. Louis, Mo. Ending prohibition best defence To the editor: Re: ‘Give up unwinnable war — pro- gram has it right,’ Martin Derbyshire column, April 21. Mr. Derbyshire is mistaken if he thinks the answer to the drug problem is expensive taxpayer-funded, harm-reduc- tion programs such as needle exchanges. Increasing the power of Big Government is definitely not the way to go. The most effective and least costly way to reduce the harm and heartbreak of illegal drugs is to end drug prohibi- tion and allow users once again to pur- chase clean, cheap, quality tested drugs at the corner store, just as tobacco users do.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 10, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com How is it that the provincial government can set aside $50 million to clean up the Great Lakes in Ontario without specif- ically earmarking some of the money for Durham? The funding announcement came recently from the office of former environment minister Elizabeth Witmer (one of her last duties in that role before being elevated to education minister and assuming the deputy premiership of Ontario) and was wel- comed by conservation authorities. But, it appears the Ontario government forgot Durham gen- erally — Ajax and Pickering specifically — when freeing up the money. Some local points to ponder: Pickering has been working diligently in recent years to re- vitalize the east and west shore areas of Frenchman’s Bay and is committed to spending substantial amounts of money in the coming years to continue the improvement initiative. With some financial assistance from the provincial govern- ment as part of this Great Lakes initiative, Pickering could more adequately realize the potential of the bay area and suc- ceed in its revitalization efforts. In Ajax, the arrival of warm weather has, for the last two years, also marked the arrival of a particularly pungent algae bloom along the shore of Lake Ontario at Rotary Park. Ajax, too, has spent substantial sums of money in recent years to cre- ate an appealing and attractive waterfront area. It’s hard for people to appreciate the esthetics of its memo- rial garden and other scenic shoreline areas when the odour permeates the area. Surely the provincial government should also recognize these efforts as it doles out money for its cleanup effort. As it stands, the money is to be provided for 16 “areas of concern” across the province, though a provincial Environment Ministry spokesman confirmed none of the areas include Durham. However, the same official noted it’s still “too early to tell” if the region would qualify for a piece of the funding. Timely and forceful lobbying from Ajax and Pickering would serve the communities well if they are to continue their waterfront improvement initiatives. And the message should be simple and clear: We, too, have “areas of concern” that require provincial money for us to complete our municipal projects. Each municipality has made good on promises to revitalize their waterfront area. Now it’s time for the Province to do its part. A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 Time for Province to do its part here Ajax, Pickering have worked on improving waterfront; ‘cleanup’funds would help Walter Trehern Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com But education stakeholders say more money is needed in general BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Premier Ernie Eves has fulfilled a second of his leadership campaign promises in announcing $25 million in new money to expand the Province’s early reading program and intro- duce an early math program. But, while local officials are grateful for the money, they agree with other education stakeholders who say much more is needed. Announced last year, the read- ing program provides funding to train educators on using target setting and assessment of junior kindergarten to Grade 3 students’ reading skills to better teach them. The program also offers extra resources to schools that need more help, and requires schools to set three-year targets for im- proving Grade 3 provincial read- ing test scores. Mr. Eves announced target- setting in the reading program would be expanded to Grade 6, and that schools would set targets to improve Grade 3 provincial math results starting in the 2003/04 school year. Phyllis Benedict, president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federa- tion of Ontario, in a press release said while any added funding for elementary education is wel- come, “the real need is a signifi- cant increase in the base per-pupil funding.” Gerry Blake, elementary pro- grams superintendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, added, “additional fund- ing to support early literacy and the new emphasis on mathematics is very encouraging.” But, he said, “there’s a lot of truth” to what education stake- holders are saying about the need for more money in general. “School boards are very de- pendant specifically on the min- istry for funding because there’s no tax base,” said Mr. Blake. “Quite frankly, there isn’t enough funding to support the expecta- tions the ministry is placing on school boards. The various edu- cation partners are saying, ‘we need more funding to do what you’re asking us to do’.” He said more money is espe- cially needed around program and curriculum issues. However, in light of the recent announcements, he was pleased Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer appears to recognize the need for more funding in those areas. “No matter how we get the money I’m encouraged that they are spending the money on what I call implementation,” said Mr. Blake. Bev Freedman, programs su- perintendent at the Durham Dis- trict School Board, was pleased with the announcement. “That we need money is cer- tainly no surprise, but I think you have to be publicly grateful when it’s given,” she said. “I don’t think it’s useful to get money and say, ‘we need a tonne more’.” Ms. Freedman understands the Province will assemble a group of experts around junior literacy (Grades 4, 5 and 6) and early math to look at best practices in order to come up with a resource for use in schools. She said the public board is al- ready at that stage and would like “to just leap to the next step” where the Province provides sup- port and funding for more profes- sional development in local schools. “Not all boards are where Durham is, and so for the Province this probably makes a huge amount of sense,” Ms. Freedman said.

For more than two decades, mo- torcyclists all over Canada have collected pledges for the ride, help- ing fund research for such eye dis- ease as retinitis pigmentosa. Jim Bentley and the York Wing Motor- cycle Club organized the first ride, held in Peterborough in 1979. Now, the ride is the largest mo- torcycle charity event in the coun- try. It has raised over $11 million for the Foundation Fighting Blind- ness — Canada. A weekend of events is planned for June 14 to 16, with rides across the province ending at the Great Northern Exhibition Fairgrounds (GNE), near Collingwood. The event features motorcycle demon- strations, live bands and team games. To enter the fairgrounds, partici- pants are required to collect $50 in pledges. Last year, Ride for Sight raised $950,000. This year, it hopes to bust through the $1-million mark. Ontario’s central east co-ordina- tor for the ride is Brad Nanninga of Uxbridge. He said he enjoys riding and meeting all the different people at the event. “It’s a fascinating group,” he said. “(The ride includes) every type of person and every type of bike.” Mr. Nanninga said local riders gather for the ride Saturday, June 15 at The Fox and Fiddle, in Uxbridge, which kicks off at 9 a.m. with a buffet breakfast. He said everyone is welcome to attend the meal, and $2 of the $5 price of the meal goes to the ride’s charity. From there, the motorcyclists plan to take a similar route to the GNE Fairgrounds as last year’s 210-kilo- metre trek through Woodville, Kirkfield and Orillia. Port Perry ride co-ordinator, Dr. Darryl Workman, said there is a po- lice escort for part of the trip, and for the rest, motorcyclists try to take routes with little traffic. “We take a pretty scenic route,” said Dr. Workman. “It’s quite en- joyable, especially if the weather’s nice.” Mr. Nanninga has also planned a pennant run for Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26. The run, which helps raise awareness for Ride for Sight, travels through Stouffville, Uxbridge, Port Perry, Lindsay and Fenelon Falls. Partici- pants meet at Father’s Pub in Markham, Hwy. 7 and McCowan Road, at noon on Saturday. The re- turn journey on Sunday starts at 10 a.m. at Harding’s Cottage at Rosedale Lock 35 in Fenelon Falls. Anyone wishing to obtain a pledge book for Ride for Sight can call Jack Broadbent at 905-721- 0967; Mr. Nanninga at 905-852- 9146; Dr. Workman at 905-985- 0341; Bob Chambers at 905-430- 7812 or 1-800-461-3331.

DURHAM —Chocolate lovers and fund-raising added up to almost $13,000 for Alzheimer’s services. The Alzheimer Society of Durham Region raised a de- licious $12,700 at its 11th annual chocolate lovers’lun- cheon, held re- cently in Whitby. The event was the largest to date, with the 155 guests treat- ed to a full lunch and dozens of chocolate desserts at Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village. In addition, there were raffles, a silent and live auction and a fashion show. All proceeds go to the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region’s support services, education and re- search initiatives. BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —It was quite the birthday present for Philip Schon — his Big Brother was recog- nized last week for almost a decade of friendship. The Big Brothers and Sisters Association of Ajax-Pickering awarded Mike Mills its Big Brother of the Year Award April 30 at the Kinsmen Heritage Cen- tre in Ajax. Mr. Mills has been a Big Brother to Philip, whose 16th birthday was the day of the event, since 1993. The two have developed a close bond during the nine years. “We have a good time,” Mr. Mills said in an interview. They do a number of things together, include going to movies and Toronto Blue Jays games. “It’s very easy.” He said the award really be- longs to the single mothers of the Little Brothers, and to the fami- lies of Big Brothers, like his wife, who sometimes have to deal with the absence when Mr. Mills is giving his time to Philip. “I accept this award on behalf of those people, they should get the credit,” Mr. Mills said. “For (me and Philip) it’s a good time.” Although he has three daugh- ters, they are no longer teenagers. His youngest will soon be 21. He remembers find- ing the time to be with Philip a little harder then. “It was pretty hectic in the early stages,” he said. “I don’t know how I did it, myself.” Nor is he sure why he did it. “I’m not sure of the main rea- sons, really. I just wanted to help. I guess it’s inbred.” Now that Philip is growing up, the years of having a role model is paying off, Mr. Mills said. “He’s developing into a good adult. He hasn’t been a re- bellious teenager,” he said. Mr. Mills also has a good re- lationship with Philip’s mother, Rosemary, another important re- quirement of being a Big Broth- er. He remembers talking for hours when trying to help Ms. Schon deal with some parental issues, like trying to get Philip to do his homework. Ms. Schon appreciates the work Mr. Mills has done, which she expressed in a speech she made at the award ceremony. “I feel... that things would not have turned out this well for (Philip) if Mike had not come into his life. Mike has been a rock and guiding light,” she said. “Mike is always there to talk, and we al- ways have the best times together,” Philip added at the ceremony of why he thought Mr. Mills should get the award. “He helps me if I have any problems, but mostly we just hang around and have a good time together.” Susan Siopis was also hon- oured during the evening as In- School Mentor of The Year for her pairing with Ashlyn Peart. The organization also intro- duced Jenny Cooper as its first Big Sister. A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 A.J.

The outcome is the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act,2001. A bold effort applauded by citizens and stakeholders alike. This historic legislation allows the government to put in place a conserva- tion plan for the future protection of 100 per cent of the Moraine’s signifi- cant natural features and important water resources. And it does so, in part, by providing clarity on where development can and cannot occur. It’s important because the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act is as dedicated to protecting your health as it is to protecting the environment. In fact, the Moraine (which stretches 160 km from the Trent River in the east to the Niagara Escarpment in the west) works as a vital recharge zone for groundwater that flows into streams and rivers, wetlands and lakes, and is a direct source of drinking water for more than 250,000 people. It also provides a natural habitat for countless plants and animals, including threatened species that are not found anywhere else in southern Ontario. Preserving the Oak Ridges Moraine is part of this government’s proud commitment to Smart Growth – our long-term strategy to promote vibrant communities, a strong economy and a clean, healthy environment for all the people of Ontario. We consider our newest legislation an important achievement because it will not only plant the seeds of a legacy for future generations, but it will also protect one of Ontario’s most important ecological assets, the Oak Ridges Moraine. Our legacy for future generations November 2001 November 2051 Years from now you’ll still see the impact of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 PAGE 11 A/P *O.A.C.

In the wake of the recent Ontario Public Service Employees Union strike, the Province has extended dri- ver licences and some specialized ve- hicle permits beyond the expiry date, while also making arrangements for longer service hours at ministry of- fices. Driver licences with an expiry date of March 13, 2002 or later have been extended until Aug. 2. However, li- cence plate stickers will not be extend- ed and should be renewed at one of the over 280 private driver and vehi- cle licensing of- fices. Driver exami- nation, vehicle registration, and carrier licensing services are now available at min- istry offices. Ser- vices not avail- able until the week of May 21 include driver transactions, ve- hicle transac- tions, carrier transactions and trucking ser- vices. Motorists can check services by calling a min- istry information line at 416-235- 4686. JEREMY LE PAGE Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM —Local ca- nines have something new to bark about. Dog Camp, a resort for man’s best friend, opens June 1 in Scugog on Scugog Line 12, near Marsh Hill Road. With a restored barn, 100 acres of rolling farmland, and the supervision of staff trained in pet first aid, the camp is a dog’s dream. “There’s nothing like this in Ontario,” said Paul Kowarsky, who works with his son, Glen, the owner of Dog Camp. “It’s completely different from kennels.” Mr. Kowarsky said each member of his family is a “major dog lover”, and the goal of the camp is to provide great care for the animals, in an environment suitable for dogs. “It’s a great rustic area,” said Mr. Kowarsky. Highlights of Dog Camp in- clude leashed hikes through 30 acres of forest trails, games, training, a super- vised swim, and of course, nap time. Pet groom- ing is also available, along with professional pet por- traits. No cages or small runs are used, stressed Mr. Kowarsky. Instead, he said, a large fenced area is provided, where dogs may socialize under supervision. And getting your pet to camp shouldn’t be a problem either, as a ‘camp-mobile’ is on hand to transport your pooch in the form of a con- verted school bus, where pas- sengers are encouraged to bark at the cars passing by. The convenience of the camp-mobile makes the re- sort an ideal day-trip for dogs who may normally sleep all day, or wait anxiously by the door for their owner to return from work. Dogs are interviewed prior to their stay, said Mr. Kowarsky, to ensure they feel comfortable with the group. Any medications or specific needs are carefully met, along with any special exer- cises required by the pet. “I think the dogs were treated better than the kids in my family,” joked Mr. Kowarsky, who thinks the concept of his son’s business is very interesting and unique. Mr. Kowarsky said if everything goes according to plan, the resort may be ex- panded to accommodate owners as well. People would be able to stay with their pets, he says, in a beautiful area, and enjoy the facilities of the camp. In anticipation of the opening, a barbecue will be held, Sunday, May 26, at Dog Camp. Everyone interested is invited to attend. Call 905-862-0273, or visit www.dogsatcamp.com. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P Recycle!

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 10,2002 PAGE 15 A/P Ajax school helps officers launch revamped Web site BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer AJAX —With a hearty 10- second countdown last Friday, students at Lakeside Public School in Ajax helped the Durham Regional Police Ser- vice launch a new and im- proved Web site. It was a fitting place to kickoff www.drps.ca, since the new site has a lot to offer young people in its ‘kids’ cor- ner’ section. By clicking on several icons in a colourful graphic image, youngsters can receive de- tailed safety tips and learn more about the service. For example, click on the dog and there’s information on the canine unit, including pic- tures of all the four-legged of- ficers. “It gives all kinds of inter- esting information for kids to use to learn about safety and cool things like our heli- copter,” Dave Selby, the ser- vice’s director of corporate communications, told stu- dents. “It’s a very useful tool that we want you to start using.” But kids corner is just one of the many improvements made to the site. “The biggest change, I think, is the ability to tell peo- ple about all the separate (po- lice) units,” said Constable John Bradley in a later inter- view. ‘Our organization’ leads to an overview of the entire ser- vice, including links to units such as the dive team. Each unit has a ‘what’s new’, ‘media releases’ and ‘success stories’ link. Or you can re- view the various units geo- graphically, by hitting the Pickering community office link, for example, which fea- tures a picture of Inspector Sherry Whiteway and provides information such as the staffing level in Ajax and Pick- ering and what percentage of police calls come from the area. Visitors can also view a po- lice report covering the last 24 hours in Durham Region, which at last count contained 137 reports. There’s also an events cal- endar and ‘most wanted’, ‘missing persons’ and ‘un- solved cases’ links. “We’ve allowed the com- munity to interact in it,” said Const. Bradley, noting visitors can download Road Watch cit- izen reports and other forms from the site and provide po- lice with information. “They’ll also be able to do research on their own,” said Web master James Hillman, adding crime statistics and other information is to be added to the site in the coming months. When Christine Robson, the service’s information sys- tems manager, asked which students wanted to become po- lice officers, about 20 hands shot up, including one belong- ing to Grade 4 student Katrina Reynolds. “I want to do it so I can help other people,” she said in an interview. But a policing career is not for fellow Grade 4 pupil Ro- drick Dawson. “It’s too dangerous; I’d pre- fer a safer job,” he said. Katrina thought the presen- tation was “entertaining” and plans to visit the Web site. Rodrick appreciated the ef- fort officers put into the pre- sentation. “It was cool,” he said. “They put a lot of detail into it.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 DURHAM ––The Red Cross is on the move.

Gary Polonsky is asking the Region to find the better, and quicker, way to develop public transit to move stu- dents to the school’s cam- puses, ideally by this Sep- tember and definitely by the expected opening of the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technolo- gy, a facility to complement Durham Col- lege’s current program, in Sep- tember 2003. “It will be one of the most beautiful campuses in Canada,” Mr. Polonsky said of the university. “We have the land and the vision to do it. We will be ready for the youth of Ontario in Septem- ber 2003 as promised. It will bring dozens and before long hundreds, of PhDs into our community. It will have a minimum economic im- pact, annually, estimated at over a billion dollars. The only major problem is tran- sit.” Although driving by car to a Durham College cam- pus from most parts of the region can take minutes, Mr. Polonsky noted, a bus trip can take an hour-and-a-half or more. This “will drive students to other universi- ties,” said Mr. Polonsky. “I put it to you as an ongoing problem. I guarantee you students will go elsewhere than put up with that three- hour (round) trip.” Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle noted there is cur- rently a regional transit task force meeting regularly to consider Durham’s transit needs. “The issues of transit are very much what this council is going to be deal- ing with,” he said. The Whit- by mayor, chairman of the committee, asked Durham College to forward any available data on students’ transit needs to the commit- tee. Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner asked if Durham College and UOIT would be willing to subsi- dize the cost of a regional transit system. “We’ve said in every meeting we’ve had with the regional transit folks we’re not looking to hit up the tax- payer,” replied Mr. Polon- sky. “We understand we have to pay our fair share. We are prepared to subsidize students and our students are prepared to pay a certain amount.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 PAGE 19 A/P Read up on community news in cyberspace!Visit us at durhamregion.comUniversity president asks for regional buses to serve students Language courses offered to Durham students Catholic board hosts open house AJAX — Speak up this weekend for in- formation on in- ternational lan- guage courses.

Mike Bromley has operated Signs From Above out of the garage at his Church Street South home and was seeking a rezoning to formalize the arrangement. “In many respects, the sign business is similar to a home- based business. He lives there and he’s the only one working there,” Town planner Ron Warne said at council’s community af- fairs and planning committee meeting Monday. “In other ways, it’s not. It’s in a detached building and there’s machinery.” Some residents living nearby expressed concern about the ap- pearance of the property, noise from the business, as well as possible adverse health effects from a sandblaster. “This is a home-occupation business that’s in my view gone beyond a home occupation. We’re residential and you’re slowly taking away our residen- tial,” said Christena Crescent resident Donna Sharman. “If this was in Westney Heights, there’d be no question it would be out of character and he’d be forced to move,” added Tim Haynes of Church Street. “We’re no different.” Dan Ford noted his two sons attend the nearby St. Francis de Sales Catholic School and his wife works at the church rectory. His concern was with the sandblasting and potential health hazards. “One of my sons has a breath- ing problem already,” he said in displaying some of the medical equipment his son uses. Bob Martindale, a planning consultant for Church Street res- ident Ray Hickey, compared the rezoning to a recent request by another company to use a resi- dential property on Harwood Av- enue North for its Ajax depot. He added the similarities be- tween the two proposals were “striking”, primarily because both involved an industrial use in a residential area. Homeowners living near the Harwood proper- ty opposed the request, and council turned the rezoning re- quest down. “Residents on Church are also asking for the same consid- eration. It’s similar, not in scale, but in the introduction of indus- trial,” Mr. Martindale stated. Other residents supported the rezoning. “In my opinion, Mike Brom- ley has enhanced the property greatly over the previous owner,” said Elinor Moore. Peter Gos added, “From the time Mike Bromley took over (the property), he has vastly im- proved and cleaned it up.” The Town’s bylaw regulating home-based businesses allows part of a dwelling to be used for a business. But, the garage used by Mr. Bromley isn’t attached to his house, so it can’t be consid- ered part of the dwelling. “Had the garage been at- tached to the house, you would- n’t be here tonight,” said Phil McMullen, a lawyer represent- ing Mr. Bromley. All sandblasting would be done inside a self-contained unit inside the garage. Projects that can’t be handled in the cabinet are done at an Oshawa facility, Mr. McMullen stated. A filtration system with the sandblaster keeps almost all par- ticles and dust from getting into the atmosphere, he added. “Most of the work is graphic design work done at a computer and keyboard,” Mr. McMullen noted. Mayor Steve Parish said he wasn’t aware of any previous problems. “For eight to 10 years the business has been there. It wasn’t until the application was brought forward that I was aware of any concerns,” he said. “If there was noise and dust, I would have heard of them, the ward councillor would have heard and the regional councillor would have heard. If the garage was at- tached, this would be a home- based business.” Council must still give final approval to the committee deci- sion.

Following a three-year command of the Highlanders’ 178 army reserve soldiers, Lieutenant-Colonel George Turner, a Pickering resident, is giving way to Lieutenant-Colonel Ian Sargeant in a ceremony presided over by Colonel Des DesLaurier, com- mander of the 32nd Canadian Brigade Group. “The 48th Highlanders is an out- standing infantry regiment, the finest in the brigade and indeed among the best in the Canadian Army,” said Lt.- Col. Turner in his emotional good- bye. “I am proud to have played a small part in the history of the regi- ment.” Colourful ceremonial uniforms and highland music marked the suc- cession of command as reserve sol- diers marched past under the new command of Lt.-Col. Sargeant. In an emotional closing, Lt.-Col. Turner marched off the parade for the last time. During Lt.-Col. Turner’s com- mand, many soldiers in his regiment participated in peacekeeping opera- tions in both Bosnia and Kosovo. Lt.-Col. Sargeant enlisted in the 48th Highlanders as a private in 1981. Change in command for 48th Highlanders Lieutenant-Colonel George Turner, of Pickering, handed over his command at a Toronto ceremony last week.

President (George W.) Bush is particularly interested in the po- tential of the international effort known as ITER and has asked us to seriously consider American participation,” Ener- gy Secretary Spencer Abraham told a forum May 2, the first day of the G-8 en- ergy ministers’meetings in Detroit. The ministers met in preparation for the up- coming G-8 summit to be held June 26 and 27 in Kananaskis, Alta. “This major international effort will answer a critical scientific question: Can a fusion reaction - the kind of reaction that powers the sun - be harnessed here on earth for the benefit of all mankind?” Secretary Abraham said. A Clarington site beside the Darling- ton Generating Station is Canada’s bid to host the $12-billion international re- search facility. Currently Japan, the Eu- ropean Union, the Russian Federation and Canada are partners in the research project. In addition to Canada’s bid site, Japan and the European Union are ex- pected to offer possible locations for the project. The United States was initially involved in the ITER project when it was conceptualized in the mid-1980s but pulled out in the late 1990s for polit- ical reasons and concern the project had stalled. Now, as the partners work to- ward selecting a site later this year, it is anticipated the United States may re- enter the partnership. As co-host of the Detroit meeting, Canada’s energy minister Herb Dhaliw- al also took an opportunity in his speech to mention ITER and Canada’s site offer. “I was very interested to hear the sec- retary’s comments about the administra- tion’s interest and possible re-entry to the ITER program,” he said. “Iter Cana- da has a proposal and a site that we be- lieve offer unique benefits.” Dr. Murray Stewart, director of Iter Canada, attended the two-day confer- ence. “The big news was the back-to- back references by both Secretary Abra- ham and Minister Dhaliwal,” says Dr. Stewart. As well, he adds, “My under- standing is the project was raised sever- al times during closed-door ministers’ meetings. ITER meets many of the con- cerns about energy the ministers have in relation to security of supply.” Most of the G-8 countries are still very dependent on energy imports, notes Dr. Stewart, who says only Canada and the Russian Federation are large ex- porters. In his speech, Secretary Abraham noted the G-8 countries generate 70 per cent of the world’s economic activity and as such are large energy consumers accounting for 60 per cent of all energy use in the world. “The G-8 nations con- sume nearly 40 million barrels of oil per day, over half the total world demand,” the US secretary noted. At the same time, he said, “We understand the im- portance of assisting less developed countries to develop their societies and economies.” But to meet the growing needs of the large world economies and those of the developing countries will be a chal- lenge, Secretary Abraham suggested. The three challenges to that mandate are: “rapidly increasing demand, inade- quate infrastructure for future needs and the need to reconcile our energy growth with environmental protection.” He noted, “One inescapable element of every energy resource - even the clean- est - is its effect on the environment. Clearly, in striking the right balance be- tween energy security and environmen- tal performance, we must aim to make the environmental cost negligible and the energy-for-growth benefit signifi- cant.” Hopefully, Mr. Abraham said, re- search and development investment as well as a greater co-operative spirit be- tween countries will pay off in new sources of sustainable, clean energy. “ITER really met the key criteria to what they were discussing,” says Dr. Stewart.

Climbers sprawling upwards on an arbor; hybrid teas and floribundas sitting ever so pretty in a border, their blossoms wafting out fragrance; David Austin roses with their large old-fashioned flowers or carpet roses nes- tled along the ground amongst foundation ever- greens. No matter the size or scope of the garden, find room for a rose or perhaps two or one hundred. Rose lovers know that even when the garden is com- plete, a new introduction or AARS winner will certainly fuel the search for “I’m cer- tain I have room for one more rose!” On a trellis, arbor or obelisk grow a climbing rose and be rewarded with a mass of flowers and delightful fragrance. ‘Blaze Superior’ in red continues to be one of the more popu- lar climber-perhaps visions of our ancestors homestead with the white arbor loaded down with hundreds of blooms. ‘New Dawn’ in light pink and ‘Coral Dawn’ in peachy pink as well as ‘White Dawn’ are excellent climbers. For added interest and to apply contrast plant ‘Joseph’s Coat’ a show-stopper with multi-toned blooms in yel- low, orange fading to shades of red. Also avail- able in climbers are ‘ Leaping Salmon’ in peach apricot tones, ‘Iceberg’ a luminescent white perfect for night time interest, ‘Golden Showers’ in yellow and the Explorer rose ‘John Davies’. Hybrid teas, floribun- das and grandifloras come in a vast array of colours and fragrances. New introductions for this year include ‘Dream Rose’ a deep cherry pink,’Love’ tones of red and white and the ever popular ‘Princess Di’. Carpet Roses include the following: Apple blos- som; Coral; White; Pink and Yellow. Use as a ground cover instead of creeping perennials. Limited space allows the option of carpet roses or miniatures - a welcome addition close to the front door if there is ample sun. “The Fairy” is a a gently branching pink which pro- duces blooms up until frost. Now is the ideal time to plant roses as they are still dormant or first start- ing to bud. Make sure to follow the planting instruc- tions and to ensure a solid foundation of roots add bonemeal to your planting hole and follow up with transplant fertilizer. Saving the best for last DAVID AUSTIN! For old fashioned blooms, out- standing performance, delightful fragrances, increased disease and insect resistance no other rose stands up. ‘David Austin’ roses continue to soar in popularity so buy early to avoid disappointment. Cultivars include ‘Golden Celebration’ and ‘Graham Thomas’ in yellow; ‘Mary Rose’, ‘Heritage’ and ‘Gertrude Jekyll’ in pink; ‘Winchester Cathedral’ in white; ‘Jane Austin’ in apri- cot yellow as well as ‘Jude the Obscure’ and ‘Abraham Darby’ in multi-coloured.

Even when you get there it’s usually so crowded you spend more time waiting then actually working out. Bryce Reiter, Pool Specialist at Diplomat Pools and Spas and a graduate of Kinesiology states that swimming is the best and least stressful form of exer- cise there is. He says aquatic exer- cise covers all the bases when it comes to physical fitness including improved body composition, greater joint and muscle flexibility, improved cardio-respiratory performance and increased muscular strength and endurance. Aquatic exercis- es, combined with deep rhythmic breathing, clear your mind and calm you down, helping your heart to operate more efficiently, lowering your blood pres- sure and increasing the flow of oxygen throughout the body. What’s good for the body is also good for mind. Swimming pool and hot tub owners repeatedly cited physical and mental benefits from owning a pool or hot tub. Whatever your reasons for purchasing a pool or spa, whether it’s for relaxation or to increase quality time with friends and family, you can be sure that the benefits are numerous. Visit Diplomat Pools and Spas located at 637 Kingston Rd., Pickering and spend time with the friend- liest most infor- mative staff around.

DURHAM —Durham Col- lege students took home a rain- bow of medals at the Ontario Technological Skills Competi- tion in Waterloo recently. “Each one of these students did an incredible job in what is consistently an extremely diffi- cult competition,” said Bev Balenko, Durham College’s vice-president of business and skills development. The students, who were judged on the quality of their work, as well as their ability to follow instructions and complete their tasks on time, brought home six medals. John Mehaffey won gold in the industrial wiring competition, while Jason Rinaldi and Michael Link Hill earned sil- vers. Mr. Rinaldi was in the plumbing competition and Mr. Link Hill in the welding contest.

My name is Paula Jo Owens. I live with my husband, Keith, and our two children, Kyla and Brianna. I am an office manager. I discovered an amazing weight loss break- through that helped me melt off 55 lbs. of unwanted fat. My dress size quickly plunged from a plump 18 to a slender 10 and it was effortless! I took off my weight without diets, pills, packaged foods or expensive herbs. I hope that my story will help other people who are over- weight and miserable the way I once was... By: Paula Owens Tears of frustration stung my eyes. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, tugging on a pair of blue jeans. I couldn't even get them past my thighs! But that wasn't the worst of it. They were not my blue jeans, they were my husband's! I remember feeling so des- perate, I could barely breathe. I knew my weight had been steadily climbing for the past 3 years, but I'd had no idea how much. Fast Food Frenzy In truth, it was no wonder that I'd grown so fat. My eating habits had spun out of control. Most nights I felt so stuffed that I would have to change into sweat- pants just to breathe! I couldn't stop it. My attempts at dieting were disastrous. It was as if I had no control over my hands. I just kept feeding myself. I could sense that my husband was no longer attracted to me the way he used to be. I knew that he loved me, but I felt as if we were just going through the motions. I was suffering emotion- ally. I had lost all respect for myself. My Amazing Discovery By the time of the 'jeans incident,' I had given up on dieting. I had tried every- thing from diet pills to starvation. Nothing worked. My weight would always shoot right back up plus more. As I sat on the bed, tears streaming down my cheeks, I remem- bered a conversation that took place about six months earlier. A close friend had told me some amazing sto- ries about people who had lost weight and kicked their smoking habits by being hyp- notized. She said that these amazing results were hap- pening right in our hometown at Positive Changes Hypnosis and that I could go in for a free hypnotic screening. 'They get excellent results!' she'd said. My friend and I grew up together so I trusted her. But I'd been skeptical. It was all so new to me. Hypnosis made me think of crystal balls and swinging watches. Was I ever wrong! The office was surprisingly pro- fessional - something like a doctor's office, but not so clin- ical. I saw happy people that were thrilled by how hyp- nosis had changed their lives. I thought, hey, this is for real. Hypnosis actually works. My con- sultant was refreshingly open and honest. She answered all my ques- tions and made me feel at home. Even the fee was surprisingly low. I was so impressed. I decided right then that hypnosis was the solution to my weight problem. Instant Success! Right after my first hyp- nosis session, I noticed a change in my eating habits. I immediately stopped drinking cola. I had no taste for it. Water and fruit juice are far more satisfying to me. I lost about 4 pounds my first month. After that my weight melted off so quickly, I hardly knew it was happening. I would average three pounds a week. It took me 6 short months to shed my entire 55 lbs.! Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effortless. I didn't even have to think about it. Hypnosis has eliminated my food cravings and bad eating habits. There is no comparison to where I was before being hypnotized. Candlelight & Romance! The changes I've experi- enced with hypnosis are so power- ful that it's hard to explain. Before hypnosis, I felt like an 'it.' Nobody paid attention to me. People notice me now. I feel like a woman again. Before being hypnotized, I never dreamed I would get here. My husband has always been a hopeless romantic. He loves to make candlelight dinners for me. Since losing my weight, our romance has rekindled. These days, when Keith looks at me, I can tell that he loves what he sees! "Hypnosis Does It All!" My success with hypno- sis was fast, easy and effortless. I feel in control. It's comforting to know that I will never go out of control like that again. I recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis every day because I have experienced their success first hand. One woman showed me her before picture. She had lost 80 lbs. I met a husband and wife who were ecstatic! He had lost 105 lbs. and she had taken off 95 lbs! I was skeptical about hyp- nosis until I met these people. What a difference! Now I have my own suc- cess story to tell! Hypnosis came through for me when all else had failed. In fact, hypnosis does it all! I am calm and relaxed. My energy level is through the roof. My body feels strong and willowy. I did all this without ever feeling deprived and with no negative side effects! I owe 100% of my suc- cess to Positive Changes Hypnosis. Thanks to them, I am wearing my own jeans in a slim size 10. So if you are consider- ing Positive Changes Hypnosis, I urge you to do it now. I waited and suffered for months - until I couldn't even fit into my hus- band's blue jeans! Don't let that happen to you. Call Positive Changes Hypnosis to schedule your free hypnosis screening. Hypnosis changed my life. It can do the same for you. In my opinion, the benefits are unlimited. But the only way you'll know is to find out for yourself. So pick up the phone and call now.

Following are the new movie releases being screened at local cinemas this weekend: UNFAITHFUL Starring Diane Lane, Richard Gere, Olivier Martinez Directed by Adrian Lyne Edward and Connie Sumner are a wonderfully-maintained middle-aged couple living the American dream. Together with their eight- year-old son, a dog and a house- keeper, they share an enviable life in the suburbs of New York City. But no life goes unchal- lenged: This happy marriage, dampened by the routines of af- fluence, falls prey to an outsider when Connie has a fateful colli- sion with a stranger on a Soho street. It’s an encounter which assaults her with mystery, spon- taneity, charm –– and risk. It will pull Connie into an affair that will become her obsession. When Edward innocently learns his wife has lied to him, suspicion propels him to uncov- er the devastating details of her infidelity. Tormented by the knowledge, he confronts her lover, only to discover a level of rage within himself he could never have imagined. Can a mar- riage so infected by deceit, guilt and anger find a way to recover? THE NEW GUY Starring DJ Qualls, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Griffin, Eliza Dushku Directed by Ed Decter Nerdy high school senior Dizzy Harrison (DJ Qualls) has finally gotten lucky. Thanks to unlikely role model Luther (Eddie Griffin), he’s got a sec- ond chance to be the guy with no past in ‘The New Guy,’ a story about wiping the slate clean and reinventing yourself. Locked in the pen for an array of misdeeds at his old school, Dizzy learns the art of intimida- tion and other fine points of prison cool from fellow inmate Luther. This mismatched duo joins forces, ultimately trans- forming geeky dud Dizzy into the hip, studly Gil Harris. Transferred to a new school after his release, Gil destroys the popularity-obsessed social sys- tem, boosts school morale and wins the heart of Danielle (Eliza Dushka), the girl-next-door. Life as the new guy is great - or is it? ULTIMATE X Documentary Directed by Bruce Hendricks All the excitement and explo- sive drama of action sports is displayed on the exhilarating giant screen in ‘Ultimate X,’ a look into ESPN’s massively pop- ular Summer X Games. ‘Ultimate X’ chronicles all the breathtaking highlights and dramatic stories behind the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia as it showcases the eye-popping skateboarding, biking, moto X, and street luge competitions on the giant screen for the first time. In addition, the film will pre- sent the incredible stories of the athletes themselves.

P L A Y LPA A C E DRIVE THRU Pickering 1099 Kingston Rd., L1V 1B5 905-831-2665 ARE HARD ICE CREAM CAKES AND SOFT SERVE CAKES THE SAME? Both kinds of cakes are great products but the process of making them is different. In most cases the process of making a hard ice cream cake includes the making of the ice cream at the dairy. It is poured into those big cardboard tubs (the tubs you see ice cream scooped out of when you get a cone). The tubs are frozen and stored for delivery. Then the franchises and grocery stores place their orders and the tubs are delivered in freezer trucks to distribution warehouses or directly to the retail outlet. The retail outlet turns the tubs on the side and cuts the tubs into the size of the cake and removes the cardboard. The cake is placed on a cake board, decorated and placed in the display freezers of the outlet until sold. The process of a DQ frozen cake is different. Our soft serve milk mix is delivered in 32 litre bags dated fresh from Natrel. The patented recipe for the DQ milk mix, held by Natrel, has been constantly fine turned for over 50 years and the taste is incredible. You’ll notice I said MILK MIX. Dairy Queen soft serve is 95% fat free and yet the taste is extremely rich and creamy. The bags stored in the walk in fridge are hooked up to a hose going directly into the soft serve dispensing machines that you see at the front. The walk in fridge is directly behind the wall where the soft serve dispensing machine is located and the hose comes through the wall from the walk in fridge. A pump pushes the mix through the hose and into a stainless steel revolving barrel in the soft serve machine you see in front of you. As the milk mix turns in the barrel it is frozen instantly to that beautiful smooth creamy consistency you see dispensed into your cones or sundaes. Each machine has two barrels. Fresh milk mix to frozen soft serve in seconds. That’s how fresh it is. We also have a three barrel soft serve machine in the cake department where the cakes are made IN STORE. We make everything from scratch! The cake decorator takes a cake board and places a metal cake form (called a cake ring) on top of it. First a layer of vanilla soft serve is dispensed into the form. Then a layer of chocolate cookie crunch and chocolate fudge is placed in the middle. Finally a layer of chocolate soft serve is dispensed on top. MMMM good! In a few minutes the cake (called a cake blank) is made and immediately placed in a hardening freezer and flash frozen. Is that fresh or what! The cake is then taken out, the cake ring removed and placed on a revolving decorator stand. The decorator then takes a special lining tool and “sculptures” the cake, as the stand revolves, with straight lines all around the side of the cake. Next a cake decorating bag is filled with the most delicious whipped topping. Our decorator squeezes the bag tight and borders the top and bottom of the cake with our unique looping design that makes that cake look so eye catching. Then we use over 100 different designs to make the cake a real work of art. We have fifteen cake decorators in store and we will sell between 400- 500 cakes on the Mother’s Day weekend. Our cakes move so quickly that you could be eating a cake that was made the same day at our store. When we say fresh from scratch - we mean it! DURHAM ––Sara Marlowe, an Oshawa native currently working on a Masters of Social Work degree at the University of Toronto, is independently releasing a CD, ‘A World To Win.’ To say her original 15 songs on the new release are political is an under- statement. On one cut, the 28-year-old sings about Kimberly Rogers, the preg- nant Sudbury woman found dead last sum- mer after being sentenced to six months’ house arrest following a conviction for welfare fraud. “I’ve written everything,” Marlowe says of ‘A World to Win,’ and de- scribes her music as “polit- ical-folk/jazz. It’s all politi- cal.” Even the sales from the CD are geared towards that end. Marlowe is preparing to go to Alberta for one month to protest the June 26-27 G8 Kananaskis Summit by helping to orga- nize a counter- summit. She also plans to lend support to the Solidarity Peace Camp on the Stony Re- serve. But be- fore that, she’s busy organizing a social work ‘teach-in’ June 3, co-ordinating with York University, Ryerson Poly- tech University and the University of Toronto as a way to get more informa- tion out about the G8. It is this event she hopes will help her raise the neces- sary funds for her trip to Alberta. To hear Marlowe’s music, go to www.worldtowin.org or call 416-280- 6456 to order her CD.

Tobacco use kills nearly 12,000 Ontarians every year. Higher taxes will reduce tobacco consumption. Here's a great way to save lives, protect our kids' futures, and improve the province's balance sheet: Raise Tobacco Taxes! Why is this a problem? •Low prices lead to more tobacco use. More kids start smoking and fewer smokers quit. •Tobacco use costs Ontario at least $3.7 billion each year in health care costs, foregone income, and lost productivity. The government only received just under $800 million last year in tobacco taxes. Ontario's businesses and workers are paying the difference. How will a tobacco tax increase address this problem? •Ontario's health agencies estimate that a $15/carton increase would reduce the number of adult smokers by about 126,000. Over the long term, that means up to 63,000 fewer deaths from tobacco use. •Fewer kids will start smoking, many who smoke will reduce consumption and many will quit. •Additional funding can be dedicated to proven effective tobacco control programs for the province, some of which are now operating but poor- ly funded. •Funds from the tax increase can also help offset increasing health care system costs and reduce waiting times for treatment. •Help for smokers who want to quit can be provided through better stop-smoking services everywhere in Ontario. Concerns that a tax increase will cause renewed smuggling are sometimes raised. However, higher prices in all U.S. states and last year's new federal tax on exported cigarettes means that the incentive to smuggle has largely been eliminated. If any smuggling is likely, it's going to happen from Ontario to other Canadian provinces where prices are much higher at present. Let's reduce tobacco use and improve health care funding at the same time: a tobacco tax increase is necessary and overdue.

Playing another Ajax school — the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers — the upstart Cougars prevailed with a solid 6-2 vic- tory at Denis O’Connor Park recently. Receiving a total team effort, Notre Dame, which opened last September, was full value for its first win of the Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) 2002 campaign. “It was a great start of the season,” noted Greg Kieszkowski, who coaches the team with Chad MacPherson. “The guys did a great job. We have a lot of really good ball players on the team and they really played together as a unit.” Chris Papalia, who contributed a strong game with two runs batted in, two stolen bases and a walk, came across the plate with the winning run in the third inning on a hit by Remi Har- ron. Matt Firth picked up the win on the mound. Demonstrating speed on the basepa- ths, Brian McDonald also swiped two bases, while Mike Dahiroc, Herron, Matt D’Souza and Willie Neadles added one apiece. Neadles drew two walks, while other bases-on-balls were credited to McDonald and Dahiroc. Notre Dame was to have played the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas from Pickering Thursday afternoon, but the game was postponed due to rain. The Cougars will try again Tues- day afternoon at 3:30 p.m. when they face the Ajax High School Rams at the Ajax Community Centre.

Higgins hurdles his way to intercollegiate championships West Virginia University freshman impresses at Big East Conference meet AJAX —A Pickering High School graduate made great strides on the track as a freshman for the West Virginia Uni- versity Mountaineers last weekend. Dwayne Higgins, 19, who won multiple regional and provincial medals while a member of the powerhouse Pickering High track and field team, finished the Big East Conference Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships in Storrs, Connecti- cut with strong perfor- mances. Higgins finished fourth in the final of the men’s 110- metre hurdles in a time of 14.51 seconds. He finished second in his heat to qualify for the final, running a per- sonal-best time of 14.44 seconds. Higgins also placed fourth in the final of the men’s 400m hurdles in a time of 52.57 seconds, also a personal-best. He finished fourth in the preliminary heat with a time of 53.37 seconds. Both times qualified Higgins to compete at the upcoming Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America (IC4A) Championships. The IC4As feature athletes from eastern seaboard schools and are another step on the road to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) cham- pionships. Higgins is a dual-sport athlete in Morgantown, West Vir- ginia, competing in both track and field and with the Moun- taineers men’s soccer team.

Weathers shines en route to gold; next stop is Commonwealth Games in July BY CHARLEY MISNER Special to the News Advertiser GUELPH —Durham’s Wayne Weathers qualified for Canada’s Common- wealth Games team at the Senior National Wrestling Championships held in Guelph over the weekend. Weathers, a two-sport athlete who also plays with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League, topped Ari Taub of Calgary 3-0 in the 120-kilogram weight class. If Weathers competes, he’ll have a familiar coach at the Commonwealth Games, which run July 25 to August 4 in Manchester, England. Team Impact’s coach Stan Tzogas –– a teacher at Pickerng High School in Ajax –– will be the head coach of the Canada team at the Commonwealth Games. Tzogas has also been named an assistant coach for Canada at the World Championships in Iran. Weathers will have to get permission from the Blue Bombers in order to compete at the Common- wealth Games, says Tzo- gas. Weathers’s performance helped the Durham Re- gion-based Team Impact to a second place tie in the freestyle com- petition with 30 points. He was not the only Impact member who had success on the mat at the championships. Mike Francis won the 60 kg. silver medal after losing to Gia Sissouri in the gold medal match. In the 66 kg. weight class, Danny Brown placed fifth. Paul Harri- son lost his semifinal match to Olympic gold medallist Daniel Igali in the 74 kg. weight class, and wound up fourth over- all. Daniel Berlingeri lost to Nick Ugoaloh in the finals of the 84 kg. weight class to take home the silver medal. Phil Kennedy, in the 96 kg. weight class, had to withdraw, due to injury, and wound up finishing sixth. The success in the freestyle competition was just one component of Team Impact’s arsenal at the nationals. Danny Brown won the gold medal in the 66 kg. weight class, in an 11-0 win over Stewart Petrie, to lead Team Impact to a first- place standing in the Greco Roman results with 29 points. Mike Francis, compet- ing in the 60 kg. weight class, won the bronze medal by defeating Farhan Farugui of Guelph. Ron Boucher of Os- hawa, wrestling for Lake- head University in Thun- der Bay, was the silver medallist in the 60 kg. di- vision. In the 74 kg. weight class, Ainsley Robinson won the silver medal, while Paul Harrison took home the bronze, as Colin Daynes defeated them both in separate bouts. Dante Berlingeri, who was defeated by Nick Johnson in the finals of the 84 kg. weight class, took home the silver medal. A/P PAGE 36 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 10, 2002 Area wrestlers make Impact at nationals But, not all will be available for opener BY BRIAN LEGREE Staff Editor DURHAM —They’re missing half their pitching staff. They haven’t played a single pre- season game. They’re an expansion team and they’re the youngest team in the Inter- county Major Baseball League. Ladies and gentleman, these are your Oshawa Dodgers. That’s not how they’ll be intro- duced, but those are the realities facing the Oshawa Dodgers as they prepare for their first game, in their first season, in the Intercounty loop, when they host the Guelph Royals (18-14 last season) Saturday at 2 p.m. at Kinsmen Stadi- um. The team will open the season minus seven players who are expected to be significant contributors to the team this season - pitchers Mike Roga, Adam Clarke, Ryan Colburn, Nat Og- borne and Shawn Andrews, along with outfielder Al Stephens and third base- man Pat Tobin. Those players are at U.S. colleges on scholarships and won’t be back in the fold until late May or early June. Although no teams in the league play pre-season games, team owner and manager Troy May is more than ready for the first pitch in Dodgers’his- tory. “It’s very exciting, I’m scared, ner- vous, those are the things that come to mind,” says May, who hatched the idea of bringing Intercounty baseball to Durham Region some 18 months ago. “We have so much going on for opening day that baseball is almost sec- ondary,” he says. “We want to put on an event to get people to come back. We have giveaways, singing the national anthem, the Blue Jays mascots will be here, we’ve got a band.” On the diamond, May will field a team that has only three players with Intercounty experience and those play- ers (Tobin, Darryl Reid and Ken Cal- way) have only spent limited time in the league. The newcomers are, in large part, products of local minor baseball associ- ations in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering. May expects his team, which he calls “definitely the youngest in the league,” to take the game to its opposi- tion. “I think we will be a bunting, hit and run, steal bases, aggressive team. We’re not going to wait for the three-run homer,” he says. The club has sold 150 season tick- ets, but May admits sponsorship of the team hasn’t “gone as well as I thought it might. But with a first-year team, they don’t know a lot about the league or myself.” NOTE:Single game tickets for the Dodgers are $5.

Randy Bulmer hopes the old maxim ‘It’s better to give than to re- ceive’ will come through loud and clear as he attempts to spearhead a drive to collect soccer balls and equipment to donate to inner-city children in Toronto who have none. “I know there are 4,000 kids in Durham who get new balls and uni- forms (through annual soccer regis- tration), so I’m hoping to get a big re- sponse,” said Mr. Bulmer, whose two young children play in the Pickering Soccer Club (PSC). “I could get 40 balls or 4,000, I don’t know.” Bulmer noted the idea was hatched to spearhead such a cam- paign after his cousin participated in ‘Doctors Without Borders’ in Africa where children played soccer with rolled-up plastics bags because there were no soccer balls. “It got me thinking that I have four or five soccer balls in the garage. I thought I would try to get different groups to send soccer equipment to Africa, but it’s so difficult without a group to work with, so I thought I would start locally.” With that, Bulmer phoned the gen- eral manager of the City of Toronto’s parks and recreation department who was effusive about the soccer equip- ment drive and what it would mean to the inner-city kids. “They said they were very excited and would be more than happy to ac- cept what we could give. They were going to distribute the equipment to the higher-need areas of Toronto,” said Bulmer, who has the support of the PSC and its president, Terry Gari- ba. Bulmer said if the drive for Toron- to goes well, the initiative could ex- pand to provide used soccer equip- ment to different countries. Those wishing to participate in the drive can drop off any and all types of equipment at the Pickering Soccer Club, 1735 Bayly St., Unit 8B, on Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call Bulmer at 905-426-6905.
