DURHAM –– A “systemic failure” allowed a deter-
mined Ralph Hadley to carry out his twisted plan to kill
his wife, Gillian, and himself on June 20, 2000, an in-
quest into the Pickering couple’s murder-suicide has
heard.
During closing submissions at the three-month-old
inquest,Gerri Sanson,lawyer for the Ontario Association
of Interval and Transition Hous-
es, urged the jury to call on the
Conservative government to
provide immediate funding to
plug gaping holes in the safety
net for victims of domestic vio-
lence.
She said cuts to social assis-
tance and subsidized housing
combined with a lack of fund-
ing for emergency shelters and
other services for abused
women is partly to blame for
the breakdown that led to Mrs.
Hadley’s horrific death.
“What is the cost of a
woman’s life and how and
when are we going to make that
a priority with this government?
As a starting point give us back what you have taken
away,” Ms. Sanson said.
Since 1995, she said, the number of non-profit hous-
ing units available in Ontario has been cut by 17,000 and
social assistance reduced by 21.6 per cent.
On Friday, lawyers for groups with standing made
suggested recommendations for the five-person jury to

PICKERING — Durham res-
idents can “rest assured” a new
university will arrive in Durham if
Ernie Eves becomes the next pre-
mier of Ontario.
The leading candidate to re-
place outgoing Premier Mike Har-
ris as leader of the provincial Con-
servatives briefly touched on this
and other issues in a speech
Wednesday during a reception
hosted by Janet Ecker, the Picker-
ing-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP. He also
discussed education and health
care with the crowd of about 150
people gathered at Gallantry’s
Banquet Hall in the Pickering
Town Centre, and praised Mr.
Harris for getting “the job done.

Durham police call for specialized training, more Crown attorneys
consider with the goal of prevent-
ing similar deaths in the future.
The inquest has heard how Mr.
Hadley, a 34-year-old postal clerk,
broke into Ms. Hadley’s Hillcrest
Road residence while she show-
ered, chased the naked mother of
three into the street, dragged her
back inside the door and shot her
dead. Mr. Hadley then turned the
gun on himself.
At the time Mr. Hadley was free
on bail with strict court conditions
to stay away from Mrs. Hadley and
faced charges for criminally ha-
rassing and assaulting her, and
breaching earlier court orders.
Noting Mrs. Hadley was on a
long waiting list for subsidized
housing, Ms. Sanson said 75 per
cent of women killed by their inti-
mate partners die in their own
home. Emergency housing is vital
for victims, she said.
Staff Inspector Brian Fazacker-
ley, representing Durham Regional
Police, told jurors police need
more investigative training and re-
sources to deal with domestic vio-
lence. He called on the Ministry of
the Solicitor General to increase
the level of domestic-violence
training new recruits receive at the
Ontario Police College.
Mr. Fazackerley also urged the
Solicitor General to provide money
to expand the OPP’s Behavioural
Sciences Unit so it would be capa-
ble of providing “risk assessment
assistance” to police forces across
the province “where required in a
domestic violence matter, includ-
ing bail hearings.”
He said local prosecutors work
under “strained conditions” and
more Crowns with specialized
training are needed in the region.
Assistant Crown attorney Frank
Giordano, who handled the con-
tested bail hearing that led to Mr.
Hadley’s release three months
prior to the murder-suicide, had
just 90 minutes to prepare for 19
hearings that day, he noted.
“Something has to be done...
about the way the Crown’s office
has been staffed,” Mr. Fazackerley
said.
He suggested the Crown’s of-
fice train and designate full-time
domestic violence prosecutors and
make one available for every bail
hearing, including weekends.
He also called for changes to
the Criminal Code to allow for a
72-hour detention, at the Crown’s
request, of a person arrested for do-
mestic violence to prepare for the
bail hearing and ensure the victim’s
safety. As well, the jury was asked
to recommend the law be changed so all
persons charged with domestic violence
are required to show why they should
not be detained. Jury deliberations are
expected to last two weeks.

PICKERING —In the
wake of new provincial leg-
islation protecting the Oak
Ridges Moraine, many envi-
ronmentalists, planners, and
politicians are asking what’s
next?
The Canadian Urban In-
stitute (CUI) believes the
provincially owned Seaton
lands in north Pickering are
the answer, and are looking
towards the future of the
property with a connection
to its past.
CUI president and former
Toronto mayor David Crom-
bie was retained by the
Province to mediate the ne-
gotiations that resulted in a
decision to swap the Seaton
property for moraine lands
in York Region owned by a
consortium of developers.
Mr. Crombie addressed a
group of interested parties at
a recent CUI roundtable
breakfast in Toronto entitled
‘Beyond Oak Ridges: new
opportunities for Seaton’.
He said although a
“green-to-brown” approach
was initially thought best,
whereby previously devel-
oped ‘brown’ lands in other
parts of the Greater Toronto
Area would be swapped for
the York moraine lands, the
Province’s choice was
Seaton, an area expropriated
in 1972 for the purpose of
developing a community of
up to 90,000 people to ac-
company the proposed fed-
eral airport to the north.
Now, as the value of both
the moraine and Seaton
lands undergo an appraisal
process and the swap’s de-
tails are finalized, Mr.
Crombie and the CUI are
looking at a previous plan
for Seaton that may stand
the test of time.
Mr. Crombie said the
process in planning for the
future development of
Seaton should include a
local planning process and
an environmental review,
but he also said the award-
winning plan for develop-
ment in the area created by
planner John Van Nostrand
more than a decade ago is
still plausible.
The plan, designed to use
up 8,800 acres and include
equal space for agricultural,
natural, and urban land uses
creating a self-sufficient and
environmentally friendly
community, is “imple-
mentable without major
changes”, says the author of
the plan himself.
It would allow for 90,000
residents and 45,000 perma-
nent jobs.
“It is an achievable plan,”
said Mr. Van Nostrand at the
breakfast. “(The plan) in-
cludes an agricultural re-
serve and an urban area... it
is a model for growth and
environmental preserva-
tion.”
And, a plan based on the
same principles has been
successful in the Brampton
area, he added.
Environmentalist Jim
Robb, president of Friends
of the Rouge Watershed,
told the crowd with limited
updating and redesigning,
Mr. Van Nostrand’s plan
could become a preferable
reality.
“It represents a strong
foundation of good principle
planning for the Seaton
community,” he said.

So you've tried all the 'diets', but you're still not losing weight?
If the cause of your excess weight is only due to eating the wrong
foods or lack of exercise, the 'diet' would work. There are some very
good diets available. They teach you how to choose your food wisely,
and educate you on the different nutritional values...but still you have
a weight problem?
So what now? This is where hypnosis can come to the res-
cue...but only if you are serious about achieving your dream weight.
Hypnosis takes you where you want to be, just by using the power of
the sub-conscious mind. Your sub-conscious mind is a wonderful
thing. It's the sneaky little voice that tells you to overindulge...life's just
stomped on you yet again and you deserve compensation...so into
your mind comes the picture of your favourite food. In full, living
colour. You can see it, smell it, taste it. Does that sound right?
So how does hypnosis help? When life hits a bump, what caus-
es you to reach for that special food is an 'emotion', be it anger, frus-
tration, grief, or a feeling of something lacking your life. A feeling of
happiness and joy, completion of a job well done, can also be the time
that you indulge. Using hypnosis, your thera-
pist can help you find the underlying cause
that makes you turn to food for either compen-
sation or reward. Regression under hypnosis is
often effective in ferreting out causes that are so
repressed you have no conscious memory of
them. Sometimes the simple understanding of
the cause can result in the elimination of the
problem.
A good hypnotherapy program for
weight loss should involve several specific ele-
ments; a good one-on-one relationship with a
registered hypnotherapist. The client as a
whole person will be evaluated - not just their
'problem'. The clients self-esteem and self-con-
fidence will be supported and increased. The
attitude towards food, especially your
favourite indulgence will be altered to reduce
the conceived importance of food as it relates to
feelings of well being,
So next time life stomps on you what
then? Do you deserve to indulge...possible.
Will you...probably not. Because you are now
on your way to your dream weight, your self-
esteem is high. You recognize your emotional
triggers and know how to deal with them, You
are so self-confident that no 'sneaky little voice'
can tell you when you deserve to indulge. You
make your own decisions based on a whole dif-
ferent point of view.
Alpha Change Hypnosis is located at
158 Harwood Ave. South, Suite 207, Ajax. For

Stop right there!
Right-of-way isn’t
always so clear
To the editor:
Re: ‘Stop means stop so don’t test my
limits,’opinion shaper column, Jan. 11.
Jennifer Hibbert’s column is very
good, save for a comment she makes in
her first point. She writes, “The rule of
thumb: whoever gets there first (stop
sign) actually gets to go first.” Well, not
always.
Unless it’s a posted four-way-stop in-
tersection, a car that’s turning does not
have the right of way over a car going
straight. If you’re at a two-way stop turn-
ing left and there’s a car facing you going
straight through, it doesn’t matter if he
got there after you did. That driver has
the right-of-way.
I have to tolerate straight-through dri-
vers who don’t realize this and sit there,
or drivers who turn in front of me, at the
end of my road almost daily. It’s danger-
ous and it’s tiresome. The correct method
is in the driver’s handbook. I wish more
people would take the time to read it.

PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 27, 2002
It’s a question of priorities.
Should Durham Regional Police
do as Pickering council is asking and
set up a domestic violence unit? Yes
they should.
Trained officers with the skills
and knowledge of proper protocol in
dealing with often sticky domestic
situations could help stem the tide of
spousal abuse and murder in the re-
gion, which has already cost us so
much.
The problem is, as one local
councillor was quick to point out,
how do we pay for it?
An estimated $92-million budget
in 2002 for police services in the re-
gion is barely affordable.
Few would support a property tax
hike to cover the costs, so room must
be found inside that budget for the
unit that some say would need at
least six new officers and countless
hours of specified training.
The solution seems simple to me.
Police need to look at areas where
they are wasting valuable resources
fighting a battle they can never hope
to win.
The war on drugs, at least from
the criminal enforcement side of
things, was lost a long time ago. Yet,
it seems like every time you turn the
page of the News Advertiser, cops
are busting another marijuana grow-
ing operation.
Is anyone still under the misguid-
ed impression that raiding a pot lab
is doing anything at all to diminish
the available supply?
And really, is marijuana that bad?
No matter how many hours and
dollars police spend building a case,
tracking the growers down, raiding
their operations, and parading them
through the court system, marijuana
is as readily available as it was be-
fore.
They can bust as many people
and seize as many plants as they
want; it’s just a drop in the bucket.
It may not be realistic to ask
politicians to legalize weed, but with
medicinal marijuana already ap-
proved and several other pressing is-
sues a bit more important (see guns,
gangs, domestic violence, etc.) this
prohibition has passed its prime and
legalization — or at least decrimi-
nalization — should be on the way.
Let’s take a bold stand here in
Durham. Let’s spend our money
wisely. Instead of spending innumer-
able hours and immeasurable dollars
enforcing ineffective laws that do
nothing to prevent the problem — if
it even is one — create a domestic
violence unit.
For me it’s just a question of pri-
orities. I’d rather have the wife beat-
er in jail and his spouse properly
protected than continue watching
our police bang their heads against a
brick wall.

Let’s weed out the wasted time, effort and money
More focus, energy on domestic violence better target for police than unwinnable marijuana war
The $9.5 million coming back to Durham municipalities for
regional transit needs isn’t quite found money, but necessary all
the same.
The cash has been returned because the Greater Toronto Ser-
vices Board has been dumped, leaving local municipalities with
much-needed funding that can go towards transit authorities
which, let’s face it, run on substantial annual deficits and have in-
frastructure in desperate need of repair and renewal.
In Oshawa, for instance, many of the buses are creaking, far
past their best-before dates. The City is looking at buying 21 new
buses over six years at a cost of about $3.2 million.
Pickering and Ajax, which just amalgamated their transit sys-
tems, face challenges associated with massive growth, as does
Whitby.
Clarington is going ahead with a north-south route in Bow-
manville and will contract out service from Oshawa.
In terms of co-operation, Oshawa already runs buses into
Whitby and Courtice.
It would appear the groundwork has been started to achieve
some type of regional transit system. The eight-mayor, five-coun-
cillor regional transit task force has recommended the hiring of a
consultant to determine the best way to deliver a regional system.
The key involves several sensible east-west and north-south
links. One suggestion would have buses travel across Taunton
and Rossland roads, a good idea but one that would require mas-
sive construction on sections of both arteries to make them ser-
viceable for transit. North-south links along major roads in most
of the municipalities are now available, which would provide
convenience for the system.
The major problem in Durham will be providing linkage for
the three northern municipalities. How often would buses run
into Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog? How cost-effective would the
northern swing be? Hopefully a study could come up with an-
swers to these difficult questions.
While it’s vital Hwy. 407 come through Durham to Hwy
35/115 in Clarington, if only to offer a bypass around Hwy. 401
through the Greater Toronto Area for heavy trucks, it’s just as im-
portant to construct a regional passenger transit system that offers
commuters an attractive option to using their cars every day.
In addition, as Durham College/University of Ontario Institute
of Technology grows over the next decade, options will be need-
ed to bring students to the campus. A transit system that serves
the entire region will be just the ticket. It’s up to our regional
politicians to make it a reality.

what they wanted to hear, and
we’re forever in debt to Mike
Harris for that.”
The University of Ontario In-
stitute of Technology was first
announced last year, along with
$60 million in funding, during
the budget speech and the pass-
ing of provincial legislation to
make it a legal entity is expected
this spring.
Although Mr. Eves insisted
Ontario is in a better state today
than when the Tories first came
to power in 1995, he mentioned
some areas in need of improve-
ment.
An issue of personal impor-
tance to the former finance min-
ister and deputy premier, who
left politics for the private sector
in February 2001 after 20 years
as an MPP, is education for spe-
cial-needs students at the post-
secondary level.
“Society is judged not by how
well we treat the most privileged,
or the most well off, but how we
treated our less fortunate,” he
said, recalling how difficult it
was to find a university for his
learning-disabled son, Justin.
“One-point-four-billion dollars
will be invested this year into
special education. This is the
most by far in any government of
Ontario’s history.”
He added special task forces
have been assigned and will stay
in place at post-secondary insti-
tutions to make sure students
with special needs are being
served.
Mr. Eves said he plans on
continuing the Harris tradition of
getting the job done by not sur-
rounding himself with “yes
men” or giving in to popular de-
mand.
He used the education situa-
tion as an example.
“I believe we have a better
curriculum today in the province
of Ontario than we had when we
started,” he said. “Even most
teachers agree with that,” al-
though, he noted, they may not
agree with the methods used to
get there.
What the Province does now
for health care is vital in achiev-
ing success in the future, said
Mr. Eves. Public health may not
be sustainable 10 or 20 years
down the road if certain adapta-
tions are not made, he said.
“There are problems,” he
said. “We must be prepared to
look at all the options to rehabil-
itate (the system), to not be
afraid of different solutions.”
In an interview following the
speech, Ms. Ecker explained
why she thinks Mr. Eves is the
man for the job.
“When you look at what we
need here in Durham Region and
in Ontario, we need a leader who
has depth and security of leader-
ship,” she said.
“He’s been in government in
the good times and in the bad
times.”
Mr. Eves is running for the
job against Whitby-Ajax Jim
Flaherty, who is the current fi-
nance minister and deputy pre-
mier, Labour Minister Chris
Stockwell, Health Minister Tony
Clement and Environment Min-
ister Elizabeth Witmer.

My name is Marjorie Garst. I live with my
husband John. I am a homemaker and
mother of four. I volunteer as a foster
mother for newborn babies. I lost a
remarkable 71 pounds in eight short
months without dieting. I went from a
chubby size 20 to a trim size 10! This is
my true-life account of genuine, lasting
weight loss success.
I had read the hypnosis’ads
for months. Frankly, I was skeptical. It
seemed too good to be true. Then I saw a
special report on the News. It featured
folks who had quit smoking and dropped
weight with hypnosis. One lady said she
lost over 90 lbs. She said hypnosis made
it simple. That got my attention.
I honestly didn’t think the
people in the ads were real until I saw it
on the 11:00 News. Now it’s happened to
me and I have my own true story to tell.
Embarrassed and Ashamed
I dreaded my yearly visits to
the doctor. My weight was climbing at a
rate of ten or more pounds a year. It was
dangerous for me to gain weight. My
blood pressure and cholesterol were sky
high. My joints were stiff and ached con-
stantly. I could barely lift myself out of a
chair. My health was in jeopardy. Yet I
couldn’t stop eating. I was out of control.
I was a career snacker. I sat
on the sofa, watched TV and ate. I sat at
the kitchen table, read the newspaper and
ate. When I fed my foster babies, I fed
myself too. I lived on sweets and soda
pop. Food seemed to have some mysteri-
ous power over me. I ate all day. With
every expansion of my hips and thighs
my self-confidence withered. I was
embarrassed, shy and reserved.
Dieting was the most confus-
ing and frustrating experience of my life.
Diets made me crave and binge. The only
way I lost weight was by starving
myself. I lost ten pounds once. Then I
gave up and my weight came right back
plus ten pounds more. My self-esteem
was demolished.
Immediate Results
I was nervous when I called
for the appointment. I didn’t want to be
pressured. The free hypnotic screening
was a wonderful surprise. My consultant
was genuinely interested in me. The high-
pressure sales pitch never happened. She
explained hypnosis in a relaxed, enter-
taining way. She went over the guarantee.
I was impressed. If I couldn’t be hypno-
tized,I would get a full refund. I had noth-
ing to lose except a lot of fat. I signed up.
My new eating habits started
immediately after my first session. My
hunger pangs disappeared. My taste for
soda pop vanished. I found myself crav-
ing healthy foods. Fruits and vegetables
tasted different. It was like my taste buds
came alive.
One day I was walking
through the grocery store. I marched right
past the bakery, candy, chips and soda
without a glance. That’s when I was con-
vinced. Hypnosis had completely
changed my tastes.
Doctor’s Delight!
My last visit to my doctor
was a thrill! My doctor nodded his head
with delight. He confirmed my 71-pound
weight loss. For the first time in my life
my blood work and cholesterol are nor-
mal without pills!
I feel fantastic. No more
aches
and pains. No more cravings or binges.
Best of all, hypnosis eliminated dieting
for good!
Hypnosis made my weight
loss easy and effortless. I know I will
never gain the weight back. All the
changes are permanent. I have a whole
different way of thinking about what I put
into my body. I never feel deprived.
Self-Confidence Soars!
When I was overweight I was
extremely withdrawn. Some days I hard-
ly spoke a word. I thought everyone was
judging me. My self-worth was zero.
When the weight came off I
felt better about myself. Hypnosis helped
me relax. I gained a feeling of inner
peace. I knew I was back in control of my
life.
One Sunday my minister
asked me to stand up in church to
announce how much weight I had lost.
After the service folks surrounded me
to ask how I did it. I was com-
pletely comfortable
chatting away with
them. I couldn’t
believe it was me!
So relaxed! So
confident! There
are now eleven
members of our
church losing weight with hypnosis.
Including my husband, John! He’s
already lost 30 pounds!
My entire family has
changed thanks to hypnosis. My son lost
30 pounds. My 83-year-old mother lost
18 pounds. We’re saving money on our
food bill every week. What a bonus!
Twenty Years Younger
I thought I’d never wear a
bathing suit again. On the 4th of July I
gazed at myself in the mirror. I was wear-
ing a sexy black and purple one-piece
suit. I loved what I saw! I wore it that day
and many days since. The best day of my
life was spent filling two giant boxes with
fat clothes I’ll never wear again.
People say I look twenty
years younger. They won-
der why I’m always
smiling. I have tons of
energy. I’m light on my
feet. I have a social life!
I owe it all to the power of
hypnosis.
Invaluable!
My results
using hypnosis are
invaluable to me. That’s
why I’m sharing my
story with you. I
believe in hypnosis.
I’m certain you’ll be
as thrilled as I am. I
know because I’ve

But know costs,
what’s needed before
you plunge in
BY CHRISTY CHASE
Staff Writer
DURHAM - Does your base-
ment look like, well, a basement?
It doesn’t have to. You can have a
finished basement and you can even
do it yourself.
It sounds like a big job but, by
taking some courses at local supply
stores or even reading a book or two,
you can handle all the work required.
Glenn King, of Home Depot in
Oshawa, says people often think they
can’t manage jobs such as installa-
tion of studs, drywalling and floor-
ing. But he’s found they change their
minds once they learn how to do the
required work.
Home Depot regularly runs
Home Depot University, a series of
courses designed to teach people
how to finish their basements and do
other jobs around the house.
Many people take those courses,
not intending to do the actual work
themselves, but to ensure they know
what to expect from the contractor
they’re going to hire to do the work,
he says. It doesn’t always turn out
that way.
“A lot of them end up doing it
themselves because they find it’s not
all that difficult,”he says. “Eighty per
cent of our business is do-it-your-
selfers.”
Before you begin,you need a plan
and a budget. Decide what you want
the basement to look like when it’s
finished - ceilings, walls, floors.
Then figure out how much you
can spend. The average cost, Mr.
King says, is between $3,000 to
$6,000, and that’s the basics. If you
want extras - fancier lights, panelling
instead of paint, or carpet, be pre-
pared to pay more.
“You can actually double the
price,” Mr. King says.
With a plan and a budget and
plenty of measurements, you can get
help with what you’ll need from
local stores.
These businesses provide formu-
las that will help you painlessly work
out the amount of studs, drywall and
other materials needed for your pro-
ject. (One other thing you might
want to check is whether you’ll need
a building permit. Chances are you
will. And check into building codes
too so you can ensure all work is
done to standard. Your municipality
will provide you with the informa-
tion you need.)
Before you can begin, you need
the proper tools. Mr. King advises
basic tools are all you’ll need. You
won’t need table saws or planes or
even a workbench. Tools to have in-
clude a caulking gun,a square,a saw,
a hammer, a skill saw, drywall knife,
drywall trowel, drywall sanders
(manual) and a battery-operated drill.
You can spend little or a lot on
tools. If you’re just going to be doing
this one project, and you don’t al-
ready have these tools, you might
want to go for the less costly
tools or even rent
them, Mr.
King says. But the basics are things
you should have around the house
anyway, he notes.
When it’s time to start work,
you’ll begin with the studs. There are
the traditional wood ones or the
newer, galvanized metal ones, made
from recycled metal, which are
catching on, Mr. King says.
Some people find them easier to
work with and they can be cut to size
using tin clippers. These involve less
effort and less dust, he adds.
They’re also less ex-
pensive
and will stay good and straight.
However, supporting or load-
bearing walls must have wood studs.
Then it’s time for insulation,
which comes in premeasured bales.
Gloves and a mask are required for
this.
Once that’s up, put up a vapour
barrier,sheets of plastic which are
stapled (to wood) or
glued
(wood and metal) onto studs. This
keeps condensation from getting in
and rotting the insulation.
It’s drywall time now. Drywall
sheets are screwed to the studs. Mr.
King says screws are better since you
won’t be using a hammer. With a
hammer, you could end up denting
the drywall. If you’re adding a bath-
room, you’ll need special drywall
that keeps water out.
Once drywall is up, it needs to be
taped (seams) and drywall com-
pound (or mud, as it’s called) added
to make the wall smooth.
The compound will have to be
sanded and more layers added to get
to the finished product. Some skill is
needed here but it’s not difficult to
pick up, Mr. King says.
The mud comes premixed in
buckets, probably the easiest for do-
it-yourselfers.
For sanding, get drywall sanders
which have holes so the dust goes
right through and doesn’t clog up, he
says.
If you’re drywalling the ceiling,
put it up first, before you do the
walls. You can rent tools that push up
drywall sheets and hold them in
place while you screw them in, Mr.
King says.
If you’re installing ceiling tiles,
you’ll need to put up tracks. With
measurements and adjustments, un-
even ceilings can be levelled this
way, he said.
You can also stucco the ceiling, a
popular choice.
Before painting or wallpapering,
prime the walls. If you paper without
priming, it’s difficult to get that paper
off, Mr. King says.
Floors can be carpet, hardwood,
ceramic tiles, or vinyl tiles.
Mr. King recommends some sort
of platform, to keep the flooring off
the concrete and the dampness found
in most basements. With ceramic
tiles, you’ll need to learn about grout
and how to apply it. But, like dry-
walling, the skill can be acquired,
Mr. King says.
As for lighting and plumbing, it’s
probably best to get professionals in
to do this, Mr. King said.
These jobs have to be inspected
anyway, even if you do it yourself, he
says.
“I would advise any homeowner
to get an electrician to come and do
this and get a plumber to do the
plumbing,” he says. “It’s best to have
these jobs done right.”
Then you can sit back and enjoy
your handiwork and new rec room.
Do-it-yourselfers can
buff up a basement
Home Depot Oshawa pro sales manager Glenn King says with the right advice and tools, people can
complete projects they initially thought exceeded their limits.

45,000 Canadians. That’s five times the number of people
who die from car accidents, murder, suicides and alcohol
abuse combined.
What’s even more tragic is every tobacco-related sickness and
death could have been prevented.Smoking is Canada’s #1
preventable health problem.
Over 45,000 deaths a year
is unacceptable. It has to stop.
The Government of Canada is taking strong action to
address Canada’s #1 preventable public health problem.
Over the next five years, we will invest $530 million to
reduce smoking in Canada.
Health Canada has a simple, three-part plan:
• Keep young Canadians from starting
• Help more smokers quit
• Raise awareness of the dangers of second-hand smoke
Our plan goes beyond just providing information. It offers
real solutions. For real results. And whether you smoke or
not, you can be part of the solution.
Tobacco. We can live without it.

Exercising in the comfort of

Fitness. It offers mid- to high-range
equipment, allowing you to work out
with the same quality of equipment
you'd find in a club.
A specialty fitness retailer serving
Durham Region since February 1993,
Forever Fitness is also a favourite sup-
plier to commercial and corporate
clients.
And with affordable payment
plans, there's no reason why you can't

weight, maintain weight or train for a
sport. Buy now and don't pay for six
months, interest free. Forever Fitness
also offers financing for up to three
years.
Knowledgeable staff can help you
find the right equipment to suit your
interests and goals. Choose from tread-
mills, exercise bikes, elliptical trainers (a
cross-trainer), weights, benches and
multi-station gyms.
Forever Fitness will consult with
you to determine your fitness level and

most out of your equipment, which it
will deliver and set up.

Curves for Women,
30 Minute Fitness and
Weight loss centres cele-
brated its one year
anniversary in Pickering
in November 2001. With
over 300 members and
more joining daily, Curves
International considers
the Pickering franchise a
success in its first year of
operation. Now franchise
owners, Joan Murphy and
Joanna Lopez have
opened their second loca-
tion in the Gates Plaza at
Altona Rd in West
Pickering. Their first loca-
tion opened over one year
ago and is located at 1050
Brock Rd. between Bayly
and the 401.
Curves provides a
thirty minute total work-
out and weight loss coun-
selling in the same place.
“The reason Curves
for Women franchises
grow so rapidly is because
Curves is a unique con-
cept in the exercise indus-
try,” says owner and man-
ager Joanna Lopez. “The
facility is built around a
breakthrough in exercise
with the use of the
Quickfit circuit. It’s a
complete workout in just
half an hour.”
The Quickfit circuit is a
system of exercise that
alternates hydraulic resis-
tance machines with aero-
bic recovery stations. As
you move around the cir-
cuit, enjoying the music,
you perform both cardio
and strength training at
the same time.
“The thirty minute total
workout burns as much as
500 calories.” says Joanna.
“Because you’re moving
fluid rather than weights,
it’s safe for any age or con-
dition.
“Weight loss is the
main reason women join
our facility,” says Joanna.
“But along with weight
loss are health reasons
such as osteoporosis;
arthritis and diabetes;
more energy; decrease
stress and firm up.
Members are successful in
reaching their fitness goals
for the first time because
the workout is quick and
fun, the atmosphere is not
intimidating and monthly
consultations monitor and
motivate. We also run
challenges and exciting
promotions that encour-
age members to come
three times a week, the
best frequency for the best

The testimonials
given by the members
are an indication of the
facility’s success.
Any women inter-
ested in more informa-
tion or to join either one

Fulfill your resolution to
get physically fit this year at
Rising Sun Martial Arts.
Enjoy the added benefits of
stress release and improved
self-confidence and self-
esteem.
"No matter what your age
or level of fitness, whether or
not you have experience, we
have a class for you," says
Cees Keukens of Rising Sun
Martial Arts.
"For us at Rising Sun, our
students are the most impor-
tant. We focus on discipline,
patience, respect, self-esteem,
physical fitness, stress relief
The old myth of
children suffering stunted
growth due to weight train-
ing is about as believable as
the Tooth Fairy and the
Easter Bunny. With kids
we’re talking about training
and as a means of improv-
ing performance and
strengthening the joints so
there is less injury.
Overweight kids often
don’t do well at running
and cycling, but the one
thing they do well is
strength training. Strength
training can also show kids
success and gives a child
confidence.
All Fit - Exercise pro-
grams for all ages is present-
ing it’s little lifters pro-
grams. Sign up now and
receive a free little lifter t-
shirt. For more information
call 905-619-4559.
Get Fit and Improve Self-Confidence With Martial Arts
and having fun," says
Mr. Keukens.
"Our classes are
broken up by both age
and belt level. Kids
train with other kids
and adults train with
other adults," he says.
A former world
champion who has
trained and coached
people from beginner
to world champi-
onships, Mr. Keukens
enjoys helping every-
one achieve their indi-
vidual goals.
Rising Sun Martial
Arts concentrates on
student improvement
rather than competi-
tion, and offers begin-
ner classes designed to
give students impor-
tant basic skills that
will allow them to go
as far as they wish.
Many women
want to develop self-
defense skills, while
martial arts offers both
men and women a
chance to improve
their physical fitness.
"For adults, mar-
tial arts is a great way
to get in shape and is
wonderful for reliev-
ing stress. Children
benefit by learning
discipline as well as
how to concentrate
and focus their atten-
tion," says Mr.
Keukens.
Tai chi, for exam-
ple, offers a therapeu-
tic, low-impact work-
out for the mind and
body. It is suitable for
seniors and those with
physical limitations, as
students gain muscle
control through
relaxed, slow move-
ments.
Jiu jitsu offers joint
manipulation and is
geared toward self-
defense, while karate
and kickboxing are
more high impact and
offer total body condi-
tioning.
Rising Sun Martial
Arts has more than 30
years experience in
martial arts and has
offered classes in the
Ajax-Pickering com-
munity for 14 years.
Choose from pro-
grams offered seven
days a week, day and
evening classes, at the
Ajax Plaza on
Harwood Avenue and
at the Pickering
Recreation Complex.

With documented
health problems attrib-
uted to being over-
weight thousand of
people make resolu-
tions to shed that
unwanted flab and
become a healthier, hap-
pier human being. But
with all the different
methods of weight loss
being marketed at des-
perate individuals that
have tried and failed
before, which ones real-
ly work?
There is no quick
fix, no special pill, noth-
ing abnormal. The only
way to lose weight and
become healthier is a
change of lifestyle. You
must learn how to eat
properly balanced
nutrition. That doesn’t
mean you can’t have
your favourites any-
more. Most people look
for the quick fix; “Take
the fat off me as fast as
possible so I can be thin
again!”
There are weight
loss programs that can
accomplish this, but in
the long run, you will
gain it back again, and
in some cases, damage
yourself inside to get
there. In these cases, it
would be easier on your
heart and organs to stay
heavy than to get
caught in the “yo-yo”
syndrome like most
Canadians.
Unless you learn
how to lose your weight
safely and keep it off for
life using a common
sense, well balanced
grocery food plan, you
will never succeed at
losing that weight.
For Canadians that
join the average weight
loss centre and manage
to reach their goal
weight, 95% gain it back
within the next 2 years.
So many people come
in to Herbal Magic
Weight Management
and Nutrition Centres
with histories of joining
other weight loss cen-
tres, with a significant
weight loss, only to gain
it all back and more.
For those who can
relate to this, it was not
your failure, it was your
program that failed
you. Taking pills or
special foods and
shakes might help you
lose weight, but you
don’t solve the underly-
ing problem that made
you gain weight in the
first place.
After you have
reached your goal and
stop taking these prod-
ucts, you go back to
your old eating habits
and gain it all back, and
then some. High pro-
tein diets are another
damaging way of losing
weight. People are
caught up in the dra-
matic big losses of
pounds, but don’t real-
ize that they are damag-
ing their kidneys and
Keeping a New Year's
resolution to get fit and take
better care of yourself can be
difficult, but with a wide
selection of fitness classes,
high quality child care ser-
vices, pay-as-you-go services
and even short-term mem-
berships, the Pickering
Recreation Complex can help
you meet your goal this year.
And to get started, bring
this ad in before February
15th and enjoy a complimen-
tary fitness class. Choose
from a wide selection of
classes throughout the day
and evening, including yoga,
toning and aerobox, as well
as classes designed to meet
medical needs such as osteo-
porosis.
Fitness instructors
understand the difficulties
many people, particularly
women, face when begin-
ning and sustaining physical
activity. According to
Statistics Canada, women are
unlikely to hit the gym if
they are overweight, proba-
bly because of the undue
emphasis society places on
looks.
But fitness instructors
are working moms, too, and
understand the challenge of
trying to make the time to do
the right thing. They invite
you to feel the support of a
group exercise class that
meets your interests and
schedule.

liver. They could even make it
very difficult to lose weight
properly once they gain their
weight back again. Canadians
are also being misled that EMS
(electric muscle stimulation)
will help them lose body fat.
Any exercise physiologists will
tell you that this is impossible.
From my professional football
career, I am very familiar with
EMS machines. I have one at
home. They are used to rehab
injuries to muscles, joints &

range of motion is the ONLY
way one can make a significant
difference in their muscle mass
. The ONLY method of
weight loss that can work is to
teach the individual how to eat
balanced nutrition using their
own grocery store bought
foods. This cannot be done in
group meetings or by using
“fad diets”. It must be taught
on an individual basis to
ensure the clients learn what
food they must avoid and what
changes they must make to
their nutritional habits to
become more balanced. This
cannot be learned in a short
term. Habits need to be
changed over a period of time.
Weight loss can be expensive.
It is a multi billion dollar
industry with North
Americans trying absolutely
every gimmick out there to
lose some inches, usually get-
ting frustrated after dropping
so much cash and feeling like a
failure. It doesn’t need to be
like that. Learning how to lose
weight in a safe consistent
manner and then learning how
to increase your calories once
you get to your goal weight, so
you can maintain a healthy
new you is MOST important
and beneficial for a healthier
life.
To find out more about
how you can take it off and
keep it off, call Herbal magic at

Getting The Skinny On Body Fat
Until recently, the scale was
the only device that dieters
dreaded. Perched on it for only a
second in the morning, it could
make or break our day. Lurking
in the bathroom corner like a
childhood bogeyman, it repre-
sented a necessary evil in our
lives, a tool that we allowed too
much control. But now, thank
goodness, we’ve been given a
reprieve.
As it turns out, our weight
isn’t the main factor of whether
or not we’re unhealthy. What
really matters is the amount of
body fat that we carry, and that
varies from person to person.
For example, three men or
women may be the same height,
but differing weights. The heav-
iest is the fattest, right? Not so, as
the heavier one may simply be car-
rying more muscle. In fact the light-
est of the three may have the highest
percentage of body fat, and there-
fore all of the health risks that
accompany it.
What are the ideal percentages
of body fat? They differ between
men and women, and also between
certain ages. For men under 40, 7-
10% is extremely low, often found
only in long-distance runners. The
average is between 14-20%, with the
high range between 18-25%. Over
that, and you have some serious
health risks. For men over 40, the
measurements run about six or
seven percentage points higher.
Women normally carry more
body fat than men, so a very low
rating for women under 40 is 14-
18%. Normal is around 18-26%, and
high between 27 and 32%. Over 40,
add three to four percentage points,
but any percentage over 33% is
cause for some dietary adjustments.

Loraine, Crawford perfect,
Bridge at bottom with only
four absences
DURHAM —Public school board
trustees haven’t been truant over the
past year.
The Durham District School
Board publishes an attendance report
each year, detailing which trustee at-
tended what public board, special
board and standing committee meet-
ing over the previous 12 months.
The report, covering the period
ending Nov. 30, also shows atten-
dance at committee of the whole
meetings, when trustees meet private-
ly.
The report, included in the agenda
of Monday’s board meeting, shows
two trustees, Ajax Wards 1 and 2 rep-
resentative Marilyn Crawford and
Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Lo-
raine, had perfect records, attending
all 26 regular or special board and
standing committee meetings.
Whitby Trustee and board chair-
man Elizabeth Roy and Ajax Wards 3
and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford each
missed one meeting.
Three trustees, Paul Crawford
(Pickering), Martin Demmers (Scu-
gog) and Kathleen Hopper (Oshawa),
were absent for two special meetings
apiece.
Oshawa trustees Cynthia Steffen
and Susan Shetler and Whitby
Trustee Doug Ross were each absent
for three meetings, while Pickering
Trustee Jennifer Bridge had the worst
attendance record, missing four meet-
ings.

Board invests vote of confidence in Trbovich
Trustees back business
superintendent on
investment fund
decisions
DURHAM —Public school
board trustees gave their busi-
ness department a vote of confi-
dence at Monday night’s meet-
ing.
The Durham District School
Board reaffirmed its support of
business superintendent Ron Tr-
bovich and his staff as the
board’s investment fund man-
agers.
At a meeting last month, two
residents in a letter accused
board staff of violating the Edu-
cation Act by not seeking the ap-
proval of trustees to spend $10
million over and above the ap-
proved 2000/01 budget.
Most of that money was to
purchase an investment for the
board’s sinking fund, designed
to repay the $160-million debt
the board incurred to finance its
first school building plan.
Scugog Trustee Martin Dem-
mers’ defence of the letter as
“constructive” prompted Mr. Tr-
bovich to threaten to quit man-
aging the fund.
But given the option Monday
night of issuing a request for
proposals to find a fund manag-
er, trustees opted to stick with
board staff.
“I think that staff does a very
good job of investing the
money,” said Oshawa Trustee
Kathleen Hopper. “It would be a
huge mistake to go outside the
board.”
She added it’s not trustees’
job to “micromanage staff”.
Trustee Demmers did ask Mr.
Trbovich if the Education Act
required him to get trustees’ ap-
proval before spending money
beyond the approved budget.
Mr. Trbovich, while not say-
ing ‘yes’ or ‘no’, replied the
sinking fund is different than
other expenditures because in-
vestments made there pay down
the board’s debt.

RCMP officer walks in
municipal cop’s shoes
BY NATALIE MILLER
Staff Writer
DURHAM —A RCMP officer will
go from handling underage drinkers in
Whitby to investigating the smuggling
of alcohol between the Canada and
U.S. border, all in a matter of months.
Constable Shawn Villaroel, 26, is
getting a taste of municipal policing
through a joint project between the
Toronto East RCMP detachment in
Bowmanville and Durham Regional
Police. He will spend three months
walking in the shoes of a community
police officer.
“I enjoy the opportunity to go out
and answer a call and try to resolve the
problem,” said Const. Villaroel.
“Being out on the road and seeing
the community... it gives you a sense
you’re making a difference.”
While he was trained in municipal
policing in Regina, the RCMP in On-
tario primarily enforces federal laws
and conducts plainclothes investiga-
tions.
The RCMP approached Durham po-
lice about the project, which allows On-
tario RCMP officers the chance for
community policing experience. Const.
Villaroel is the sixth officer to go
through the program.
Durham Deputy Chief Rod Piukkala
said both forces benefit from the mar-
riage. “Our members are exposed to
different ideas and thoughts on polic-
ing,” he said. “On a networking per-
spective, it’s very good for all of us.”
Const. Villaroel was sworn in with
Durham Regional Police in December
2001 and has since responded to typical
calls, including domestic assaults, trou-
ble with youths, car crashes and suspi-
cious people and vehicles.
His duties and attire will change
when he returns to the RCMP detach-
ment. He’ll hang up his uniform and
perform surveillance duties in plain-
clothes while assigned to the customs
and excise unit. Const. Villaroel will be
wrapped up in lengthy investigations
involving the illegal importing and ex-
porting of alcohol and tobacco.
“There’s no instant gratification,” he
said, noting the investigations can take
months or years to complete.
He was hired in November 2001 by
the RCMP and hails from Montreal
where he was a supervisor for the crime
prevention department of a non-profit
youth organization.
Const. Villaroel is paired with
Durham Constable Gill Lock.
“Shawn’s been a great rookie,” said
Const. Lock, who volunteered to get in-
volved with the program.
Const. Villaroel has accompanied
her on various assignments to provide
him with a sense of the diversity of mu-
nicipal policing.
While on the road, a few residents
have commented on Const. Villaroel’s
different uniform and have made the
odd joke about him lacking a horse.
“People really enjoy the fact the
RCMP is out in the public,” Const.
Lock said.
“I hope we maintain the liaison. It’s
a different perspective on the ability of
the federal and municipal groups to
work together.”

NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, January 27, 2002 PAGE 23 A/P
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– It was a Weedless Wednes-
day victory for Durham’s smoking bylaw pro-
ponents.
Regional politicians have agreed to poll
area municipalities to determine if a majority
support a bylaw regulating tobacco use in
public places and workplaces.
It’s now up to the eight municipalities to
decide if a smoking bylaw is in the cards for
Durham Region, following a 19-5 vote that
took place Wednesday - coincidently falling in
the middle of national non-smoking week - in
the Regional council chambers.
Some of the strongest support came from
councillors representing Pickering, the city
that requested the Region consider a bylaw
that would encompass all Durham’s munici-
palities to create a “level playing field” as op-
posed to a mish-mash of policies across the
region.
“While smoking may be a lifestyle choice,
second-hand smoke is not,” said Pickering
Councillor Mark Holland. “We can’t make it
illegal to smoke but we certainly can ensure
when children walk into an establishment
they’re not subjected to second-hand smoke,”
he said.
His fellow Pickering councillor and health
and social services committee member Mau-
rice Brenner said if the Region gets the green
light from a majority of the municipalities, the
health department will “embark on public
consultation” that will include everyone inter-
ested in participating, regardless of what side
of the issue they represent. “It’s not black and
white, it’s not cut and dry,” the councillor said,
noting, “I’m asking for a level playing field.
That’s it. We are the last region to deal with
this matter, we’re not leading the way, we’re
trailing the way.”
Five of the eight municipalities must agree
for the Region to proceed with consultation
and a bylaw regulating smoking in public
places including restaurants, workplaces and
bingo halls. Once the bylaw is drafted, Re-
gional council must give its blessing before it
is enacted.
The idea didn’t sit well with Oshawa
Mayor Nancy Diamond, who said the double
majority of municipal and regional councils
doesn’t go far enough in ensuring the process
is democratic. Given that smoking regulation
is currently the responsibility of the area mu-
nicipalities, not the Region, the Oshawa
mayor said any decision to proceed with a
bylaw should also require consent of repre-
sentatives for 50 per cent of the overall popu-
lation of the region.
“This is an important migration of service
and I believe population base should be sig-
nificant,” said the mayor.
The area municipalities have until Feb. 28
to tell the Region whether they would support
creation of a regionwide bylaw following pub-
lic consultation to include residents, the enter-
tainment industry and business owners.
In Toronto and some neighbouring regions,
smoking bylaws have already been created
prohibiting smoking in restaurants and work-
places. In Toronto, bars will also have to come
into compliance with this bylaw by June
2004.
Clarington conducted a survey on its mu-
nicipal Web site (www.municipality.claring-
ton.on.ca) which found 76 per cent of respon-
dents are in favour of regulating smoking in
public places. In total 326 people responded to
the survey, says Mayor John Mutton, who ini-
tiated the survey late last fall.
Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle told coun-
cil his municipality has been receiving letters
on this issue and some restaurants have al-
ready begun banning smoking voluntarily.
“We need to have that debate in our own com-
munities,” he said.

The restoration of a
piece of furniture is a labour
of love for Sandra Dee.
Each piece brought in
to her Pickering workshop is
treated as if it were her own.
The final result is a precious
reminder that what is old
can be new again.
For the past ten years
Sandra has been bringing to
life all varieties of furniture
made from many different
kinds of wood.
Her company, Sandra
Dee’s Finishing Touch, is
located at 1019 Toy Avenue
Unit 3 off Bayly St.
When you bring a piece to
her shop it’s not simply sanded,
painted and patched up. It goes
through a complete restoration.
“Each piece is first disas-
sembled into its individual com-
ponents,” says Sandra. “Then
they’re carefully examined for
imperfections and damage
before being restored and
reassembled.”
Missing pieces are
designed and constructed to
match the furniture. Instead of
brackets and screws, Sandra
uses dowel, mortise and dove-
tail joints as they were used
when the furniture was origi-
nally built.
“What I do is use the same
wood and method of con-
struction as the original piece
to preserve its authenticity
and originality,” says Sandra.
If quality craftsmanship
and value for your dollar
count, Sandra Dee’s
Finishing Touch is the place
to go.
Something else you
will find at Sandra’s shop is a
commitment to providing
the highest quality service to
her customers at the best
price possible. Her no-non-
sense honest approach
towards customer service has
earned her a solid reputation
with all her customers.
For more information, or to
inquire about having a piece of
furniture finished or re-finished,
contact Sandra Dee at (905) 426-
5992.

Double ‘A’ Panthers double up on Ajax
Fax it: 905-683-7363
Ajax girl earns spot on North
American softball team
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
AJAX —An Ajax softball player will take the
field next year with a roster of Americans and
Canadians competing at a prestigious internation-
al showcase.
Krystle Alexopoulos, 16, was chosen for one
of four women’s softball teams that will compete
in Cup 2002 in Amsterdam and Paris Jan. 15 to
22, 2003. The U.S. squads will play a host of Eu-
ropean teams at the eighth annual event.
“I was excited,” noted Alexopoulos after get-
ting the good news. “I didn’t expect to be on the
team.”
A centre-fielder with the Markham Cougars
bantam girls’ softball squad, Alexopoulos was
among a group of Cougars players to make the
trip to the annual selection and training camp for
the Cup teams at Kent State University in Kent,
Ohio two weeks ago. The camp featured more
than 200 players from across the U.S. and Cana-
da who were put through their paces with a series
of drills and scrimmages carried out in front of
scouts and Kirt Whiteside, the general manager of
the North American teams.
“It was a good camp, but with so many people
there, it was hard for them to teach things,” noted
Alexopoulos, who attends Exeter High School.
Soon after the camp, her Markham coach,
Howard Dinetz, contacted her to tell her she had
made the cut to join one of the four 10-member
teams. She was one of two Cougars’ players to
find their way on to one of the teams.
The North American teams have won the cup
at the last four tournaments.
To prepare for the tournament, Alexopoulos
will continue to play with the Markham Cougars
as a second-year bantam player. The team plans to
compete in tournaments in Florida and South Car-
olina during the 2002 summer season.
Centre of attention
Krystle Alexopolous, 16, has her glove
ready to compete in Cup 2002 in Amster-
dam and Paris next winter.

Another tight game saw Envoy
