But reactors almost back to normal BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —The Pickering Nuclear Station is slightly be- hind schedule in powering up its B reactor from the recent blackout. But for the first time since 1996, one of the four reactors at Pickering A is now hooked up to the electricity grid. “Unit 4 synched to the grid early in the evening Friday,” said Ontario Power Genera- tion (OPG) spokesman John Earl. “It’s at low power right now, but it is providing elec- tricity to the Ontario sys- tem.” The unit, which is still in the testing and verification stages, was ready and waiting for access to the grid Aug. 14; just before a series of power outages were tripped across the northeastern seaboard late in the afternoon. All operating reactor units at the nuclear station were forced into a full guaranteed shutdown state as a result and took several days to restart because of age and design. OPG had hoped to have all four units at the Pickering B reactor up to full power by Tuesday. But one unit had to be shut down temporarily for repairs. It should be up and running later this week, said Mr. Earl. “We started bringing units back on line at Pickering B Friday,” he said. “We had one unit up Friday, one unit up Saturday and the other two units up Sunday and Mon- day. But one of those last two units had to be shut down for a short period of time for maintenance.” The units, he said, are “coming back on line exactly the way they were intended and exactly the way they were designed. “This is not a race,” he said, responding to criticism on the timeliness of the start-up. “These nuclear units are work horses, not race horses. They must be brought back to full power in a stepped and controlled fashion.” Unit 4 at Pickering A will also “ramp up”, producing in- creasing amounts of electrici- ty before it returns to full ser- vice in September as expect- ed, said Mr. Earl. The black- out should only affect its schedule by a matter of a few days, he added.

PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Local police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man responsible for a gunpoint robbery in Picker- ing. On Aug. 24 at around 9:50 p.m., a man entered the Petro Canada gas bar kiosk on Kingston Road at Liverpool Road. He approached the clerk, produced a pistol, demanded money and fled the gas station on foot. The suspect is described as a black male, 19 to 20 years old, roughly 6’1” tall, 160 to 170 pounds and clean-shaven. He was wearing a blue-hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head, a black mesh ski mask and blue windbreaker pants. A security photo of the sus- pect can be seen on the Durham Regional Police Web site, www.drps.ca, under ‘media re- leases.’ Police investigators want to speak with anyone who has in- formation about the robbery. Call Detective Smith at 905-579- 15 20, ext. 5360, or Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-8477. What’s On... PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A local group hopes the lights don’t go out when it holds its charity art auc- tion and barbecue next month. That’s what happened to the Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre of Durham’s (WMRCC) first try at holding the event, cancelled due to the power outage. However the WMRCC is giv- ing it another go on Sept. 20 from 2 to 10 p.m. at the East Shore Community Centre in Pickering. The event features roughly 50 signed, limited-edi- tion prints, and one original, by artists including Trisha Ro- mance, James Lumbers, Laura Berry, Eileen Seitz, Jake Van- denbrink and Walter Campbell. The $20 cost includes an all- you-can-eat barbecue and a free beverage. Entertainers such as The Humming Bird Dancers, Calypso singer Dick Lochan and Rhythm and Blues artist Nikiesha Toussant are perform- ing, while disc jockey Fletcher Love will keep the crowd hop- pin’.

SSeeee ppaaggee AA88 Nuclear station behind schedule BByy JJeerreemmyy LLee PPaaggee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Mosquitoes from a trap collected in north Oshawa have tested positive for West Nile virus. Collected by the Durham health department Aug. 14, the insects were tested at Brock University in St. Catharines. The positive test result in- dicates an increased pres- ence of the disease in the area, say Region health offi- cials. “The risk to humans has also increased,” says Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical officer of health. “At this time, it is impor- tant that everyone take pre- cautions to reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes.” The health department began its mosquito-trapping program in May. Dead birds are no longer being submit- ted to the Canadian Coopera- tive Wildlife Health Centre as the disease’s activity is con- sidered widespread in the country. Meanwhile, Friday after- noon the Region reported two more dead crows have tested positive for the virus. The birds were found in Ajax and Whitby. Dr. Reynolds says she is unsure if the presence of West Nile will continue to increase in the region. “It’s very difficult to pre- dict... There’s no crystal ball,” she explains. But, although Dr. Reynolds says precautions should be taken by people to avoid the disease, there should be a balance between fear and common sense. Being outside and doing physical activities is still im- portant, she says, but avoid- ing areas with high mosquito populations and being extra careful after dusk, such as using repellent containing DEET, is recommended. In humans, most infections of the virus result in no symp- toms. Mild symptoms can in- clude fever, headache and fa- tigue. Severe symptoms in- clude neck stiffness, muscle weakness and confusion. The virus is rarely fatal. More signs of West Nile virus risk HHHH 2222 oooo hhhh ????

People not getting the message DDUURRHHAAMM — The public is being reminded to go else- where for non-emergencies, while renovations continue at Rouge Valley Health, Ajax and Pickering hospital this week. “Our volumes are not drop- ping,” said hospital spokesman Katie Cronin- Wood. Sunday, 104 people were treated at Ajax’s emergency department, 44 of which hos- pital officials say could have received care from other emergency departments, vis- iting a family physician or calling Telehealth Ontario (1- 866-797-0000). Monday was even busier with 131 walk-ins, of which, about 66 of those cases could have gone elsewhere as well. “This is not to say these people have done anything wrong. By all means, if you are in an emergency situa- tion, come to the depart- ment,” Ms. Cronin-Wood said. “It just meant those people (with less serious ailments) had to wait a little longer,” she added. “We would have encouraged them to think be- forehand and save them- selves the wait.” At the moment, the emer- gency department has only two critical care beds while crews build six new isolation rooms and install four car- diac monitors. As a result, patients with non-urgent care needs are being asked to use other emergency departments, visit their family physician or call Telehealth Ontario. “But if you are in an emer- gency situation, by all means come to the department,” stressed Ms. Cronin-Wood. Wo rk was ready to go on the emergency department when the hospital was hit with the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) earlier this winter. The renovations, which con- tinue until Aug. 29, are meant to make the 30-year-old de- partment workable for staff until a larger emergency wing can be built in two years. Other improvements in- clude a new registration and triage area, nurse worksta- tion and mental health room.

The pool, which has a capacity for 1,300 swimmers, has been a popular spot during the hot weather. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo THANK YOU TO ALL ELECTRICITY CUSTOMERS IN ONTARIO FOR DOING YOUR PART TO MANAGE YOUR ELECTRICITY USE. YOU HAVE HELPED THE PROVINCE TO GET THROUGH THIS EMERGENCY SITUATION. WE ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION OF THOUSANDS OF ONTARIO POWER GENERATION (OPG) EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE PROVINCE WHO HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO RECONNECT OUR GENERATING STATIONS TO THE GRID. THE SUCCESS OF THEIR WORK OVER THE PAST WEEK IS EVIDENT IN THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION THEY HAVE RESTORED. ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 14 AT 4:11 PM, the electricity grid across much of northeastern North America failed, leading to blackouts. After placing OPG’s generating stations into safe states, our employees immediately began the restoration effort to reconnect the stations to the grid. BY MIDNIGHT ON AUGUST 14, about 35% of our generating capacity was connected to the grid. This generation was mostly hydroelectric and one Darlington nuclear unit plus some fossil-fueled generation. BY FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, about 60% of our generation was connected, including a large part of our fossil generation. BY MONDAY, AUGUST 18, we had about 85% of our generation connected, including all of our hydroelectric, most of our fossil generation, and all four units at our Darlington nuclear station. BY SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, about 95% of our generation was connected, including two Pickering B units. RECONNECTING NUCLEAR REACTORS TO THE GRID Reconnecting nuclear reactors to the grid is not a race. The safe restart must always be the overriding consideration. OPG produces electricity at two nuclear stations – Darlington and Pickering B. By Monday, August 18, we had reconnected all four Darlington units to the grid, representing about two-thirds of our nuclear generating capacity. This compares favourably with neighbouring jurisdictions. The Pickering B units require more time than the Darlington units to be brought back on line. This is because of substantial design differences between the stations, and because of the impact of the August 14 event on the Pickering units. To date we have two Pickering B units back in service. We expect the other two to return over the next few days.

But, a federal government spokesman says the Province will have its say on the matter as part of a working group committee serving under the task force, once the investiga- tion is under way. Echoing the words of Pre- mier Ernie Eves, finance min- ister Janet Ecker, MPP for Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge, says the task force headed by Natural Resources Canada minister Herb Dhaliwal and United States secretary of en- ergy Spence Abraham is missing a key ingredient — representation by Ontario. “We need people at the table with a stake and inter- est,” Ms. Ecker says, adding the knowledge base of the task force members lacked the depth of understanding a provincial representative could have provided. “There were some things they just didn’t know. They were woe- fully unprepared,” she said of Canada’s meeting Wednes- day with its U.S. counter- parts. But, the Province need not worry about being left out, says Cherie Bradley, spokesman for Natural Re- sources Canada. “They are going to be involved in the various groups determining the goals of the task force and how that plays out. Their input is very important,” she says. Ms. Ecker says having provincial representatives take part in working group committee meetings is a far cry from having representa- tion in the decision-making process when members of the task force meet at the politi- cal level. In addition to Minister Dhaliwal, John Manley, the minister responsible for na- tional security, Kenneth Voll- man, chairman of the nation- al energy board, and Linda Keen, chairman of the Cana- dian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion, the nuclear regulator, have also been appointed to the task force, which early in- dications suggest will look not only at why the grid col- lapsed but the actions and occurrences that followed. For its part, the Canadian Electricity Association is tak- ing a wait-and-see position on the task force, says vice- president Francis Bradley. “We want to see how things proceed. “We’ll get a sense next week of the level of par- ticipation of industry and Ontario,” he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 27, 2003 PAGE A3 A/P Help support needy students in our community.

Durham Regional Po- lice said the nine-year-old was riding his bike past a home on Parkside Drive in Pickering at about 12:45 p.m. Thursday when an air pistol was fired from a second floor win- dow. “He heard a popping sound and saw a projec- tile whiz past his face,” said police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik, adding the boy wasn’t hurt. Durham police were called and officers seized an air pistol from one of the two 13-year-olds at the residence. Both were given “formal warnings under the Youth Criminal Justice Act,” said Sgt. Malik. He said the teens en- tered into a “youth diver- sion contract” with police, which can include terms such as writing an apolo- gy to avoid criminal charges.

Durham and University of On- tario Institute of Technology stu- dents have a new advantage now that Durham Region has unveiled two new transit initiatives. Student and regional transit passes begin next week, with new routes serving the Whitby and Os- hawa campuses and lower fares for transit connections between local transit services and GO Bus ser- vice for selected routes. The buzz is already crossing the campus about the new bus sched- ule. Andrea McMaster will be start- ing her first year at Durham in the fall and has already purchased her passes. “I think it will be more helpful for us,” said Ms. McMaster who noted that a friend of hers had to wake very early in the morning to catch the bus. Ms. McMaster said with this new bus system no student will have to be losing sleep over getting to school. The pass will allow for unlimited travel on all local transit services within Durham Region and is avail- able only to Durham College/UOIT students. They will be sold at the Student Centre on campus. Pass holders will be required to show the Stu- dent Pass and Student ID. Referred to as the ‘D-Pass,’ it will reduce the cost of inter-municipal transit travel within Durham Re- g ion. With the purchase of a monthly GO Transit pass and an additional fee of $25 for the D-Pass sticker, students can travel within Durham Region, on both GO Transit and any of the local transit services in- cluding, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax- Pickering and Clarington transit systems. The D-Pass program commences Monday. Passes can also be pur- chased at selected GO Transit out- lets across Durham Region.

Sixteen region residents are now vying for positions on the Durham public and Catholic school boards in the Nov. 10 municipal elections. The list is heavy with Durham District School Board contenders: all but two of those who have signed up are running for one of the 11 spots on the public board. Nor th Durham has its first candi- date in the person of Uxbridge resi- dent Gordon Baxter. He is seeking the public board’s Uxbridge-Brock seat. In Oshawa, Michael Barrett has joined incumbent Kathleen Hopper and Jason Irani in the bid for a trustee position on the public board. Mr. Barrett was a strong fifth in the 2000 election. Three Durham District School Board trustees represent Oshawa. The Durham Catholic District School Board’s lone candidates at this point in the race are incumbent and long-time trustee Joe Corey and Fred Jones. The latter formerly represented Oshawa residents on the board and is currently the incumbent in north Durham. Two Catholic trustees represent Oshawa. In Whitby, where two trustees will be elected to the public board, the race remains a three-way affair: John Dolstra, incumbent and board chairman Elizabeth Roy and Scott Templeton. After almost eight months with- out a trustee candidate, Pickering now has two. Richard Fleming and Ria Ramnarine, a Whitby resident, are seeking the two spots on the Durham District School Board. Five candidates are seeking to represent Ajax residents on the public board. In north Ajax, Wards 1 and 2, incumbent Marilyn Craw- ford and Joshua Storms are in the r unning. Closer to the lake, in Wa r ds 3 and 4, Geoff Gelbard, James Harvey and Lisa Hill have been nominated. Two Ajax trustees sit on the pub- lic board. A month ago there were just four Durham trustee candidates. In the 2000 election, 38 local people vied for the 19 positions on the Durham public and Catholic school boards. The registration deadline is Sept. 26. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 27, 2003 PAGE A5 P putting our energy to good use www.opg.com Join United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge and Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering Nuclear station as we kick off the charity’s 2003 Fundraising Campaign.

Ready for school PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Jacqueline Welner is busy getting her classroom at Altona Forest Public School ready for students. The primary language teacher says her favourite part of the job is seeing the look on children’s faces when they gain understanding. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Trustee race heats up PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Roughly one in three taxis were taken off the road recent- ly in a police taxi blitz in Pickering. Durham Regional Police officers from Ajax-Pickering and north Durham, along with ministry of transportation safety inspectors, in- spected 36 cabs in the city. Eleven were taken off the road for safety violations, and of those, li- cense plates were removed from nine vehicles due to mechanical problems such as poor brakes, de- fective suspensions and rotten f loors. Eleven charges were laid. ‘Fare’ amount of cabs pulled off the road PPPP llll eeee aaaa ssss eeee rrrr eeee cccc yyyy cccc llll eeee Reason for raising age 25 years ago has now been eliminated W hile our federal gov- ernment wrestles with the controversial yet progressive issues of decrimi- nalizing marijuana and legaliz- ing gay marriage, here's a hot potato for our provincial gov- ernment: reduce the legal drinking age in Ontario to 18. Why shave a year from the minimum age teens can pur- chase and be served alcohol in this province? The answer is simple: with the elimination of the Ontario Academic Credit year (Grade 13 for you older readers), there is no need to maintain a drinking age of 19. For that was the argument made in the 1970s to lift the drinking age from 18 to 19. The theory was that the vast major- ity of high school students should be prohibited from drinking. Now that we've chopped a year from high school, we should take the next logical step and chop a year from the drinking age. Of course, there will be con- cerns about teenage drinking and driving. But such an argu- ment surely shows a lack of re- spect for the knowledge and re- sponsibility shown by the vast majority of teenage drivers who understand - better than many much older drivers - that drinking and driving is wrong. One could argue a single year makes little difference when it comes to the decision whether to drink and drive. The deci- sion to break the law really knows no minimum or maxi- mum age limits. The real problem over the drinking age is now being faced at Ontario college and univer- sity campuses. The arrival of the double cohort has put pubs and bars into a quandary and serves to exclude the entire f irst-year class and part of the second-year class next year. That's not to say the purpose in going to post-secondary school is to drink alcohol, merely to come to grips with the reality that attending cam- pus pubs with friends is simply a part of college/university life enjoyed by and looked forward to by nearly all students. The alternative will be to see a vast majority of students drink ille- gally this coming year. Is that a solution anybody is happy with? When we can legally enter into contracts at 18, vote at 18, go off to war at 18, and drive at 16 , is it sensible to enforce a drinking age of 19? The time has come for the Province to revisit this issue and drop the drinking age. Which party will deal with this political ball of fire? No doubt, if it happens at all, it won't occur until after the com- ing provincial election. But the age should be lowered.

As you can imagine, Cen- tenary emergency was much busier as a result. Mr. Hume Martin, president of the board of both facilities, should be advised the triage staff, x-ray department and doc- tors on call were professional, courteous and efficient, resulting in, what normally would have been an unpleasant situation, being bearable. Kudos to your staff at Cente- nary, sir. Too often we put pen to paper to complain and don't take the time to offer praise. A note of well deserved thanks to all is warranted. SShheerrrryy SSeenniiss,, PPiicckkeerriinngg How little we have come to expect TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: What a sad and telling com- ment of how little we've come to expect from Mr. Eves and his government. Just what are the Herculean demands required such that he is seen as more ef- fective? Scheduled, twice-daily, pre-election photo ops. Talk about lowering the bar. TToomm BBrreewweerr,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Marriage debate has everything to do with religion TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: To say the ruling on same-sex marriage has nothing to do with the religious community is tan- tamount to saying that electrici- ty has nothing to do with On- tario Hydro. As has been recently noted by the media, over 90 per cent of marriages in Canada are solem- nized by a minister or religious organization. Perhaps it eludes some, ministers included, that if we claim to believe in God, we must also believe in what God has written in his Book. For Christians, the Bible says that marriage is the union of a man and woman, making one out of two. The first command given to Adam and Eve was, "Be fruitful and replenish the earth." Obviously, high priority was given to procreation in marriage. This same-sex marriage ruling by the courts has everything to do with the religious community. Should the Christian church (as a whole), not stand solidly against this ruling now, it will be heavily pressured in the future to accept it. Even now Bill C-250, before parliament could make any op- position to same-sex marriage a hate crime. As someone once said: a person who doesn't stand for what he believes in will fall for anything. I believe that applies to ministers and churches as well! JJoohhnn FFoosstteerr,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Scooter and wheelchair access should be priority TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: On Aug. 19 and 20, I had to make trips to Pickering on my scooter. I have found that Ajax and Pickering are not accessible to wheelchairs or scooters due to the lack of sidewalks. Some had an on ramp but not always an off ramp. I think the mayors, coun- cillors or the heads of works should take a trip on a scooter or wheelchair and maybe travel would be made easier. CCeelleessttiinnee HHaarrrriiss,, AAjjaaxx Love is all you need and each to his own TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: The Catholic Church has no monopoly on the sanctity of marriage. What business is it of theirs how someone outside their membership behaves? Per- haps they see this whole issue as further evidence of their increas- ing irrelevance and isolation. I have mixed feelings as to the use of the word marriage to de- scribe a legally binding union of same-sex couples. But I am sure it is not important enough to me that I would mount a crusade against anyone who simply wish- es to live in a world free of stigma and persecution. How can any- one deny anybody a little peace and love in a world so easily prone to violence and hate?

Charles and Sybil Maggs The streets throughout the Town of Ajax bear the names of the officers and men who served on the H.M.S.Ajax during W.W.II. Charles Maggs served two commissions on the Ajax from 1935 to 1940 and was on board during the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939. After leaving the navy, he joined the po- lice force in England where he met his wife, Sybil, also a police officer. He retired in 1968, and went on to teach. In 1984, he tu- tored Paul and Linda McCartneys’ children in the United States. Mr. Maggs visited Ajax in 1991 and in 1999. He passed away in 2000 at 86 years of age but Mrs. Maggs was present for the commemorative tree planting on Maggs Street in 2002.

In no particular order, the premier has had to weave his way around severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) scares, mad cow fears, provincewide blackouts, and any other number of issues beyond his control. And we haven't even mentioned the vitriolic public response to his decision to introduce the spring budget at an au- toparts manufacturer. Yet, it seems like he finally has his window of opportu- nity, with all signs indicating a fall election is inevitable, especially given the recent rave reviews Mr. Eves has been earning, through polling, for his handling of the re- cent blackout. Which means it's finally time for all three provincial parties to move beyond the photo-op, attack-fax, and rhetoric stage and get down to serious discussions on a number of key issues. On a provincial scale, real alternatives and solutions must be put forth for our tenuous hydro situation, our labour-disrupted public school system, our ailing health system, for protection of the environment and to address growing gridlock on our highways. The list of local issues runs just as deep across Durham Region. In Pickering, the restart of four nuclear reactors continues to make news for how far behind schedule the operation is running and the billions of dol- lars the project is costing. With delay after delay mount- ing and revised date after revised restart date, an in- creasingly impatient public demands and deserves an- swers as to why. Down the road on the Ajax/Whitby bor- der, the location of a proposed link between the future expansion of Hwy. 407 and Hwy. 401 is no nearer a solu- tion. The two municipalities continue to fight over which side of Lakeridge Road is the right spot. For that matter, how fast and how far the 407 travels across Durham and into Clarington is also desperately in need of addressing. The longer we wait, the longer the region is denied the opportunity to open up thousands of acres of industrial land, giving a much-needed boost to the economy and local tax base. It seems just about every Durham municipality is struggling to attract a full complement of doctors, and real solutions are required, particularly in Scugog, Uxbridge and Clarington where there is a deep rural base of residents. Whitby is in the same boat and even Oshawa, a large urban centre of 150,000 people, is an es- timated 40 physicians short of a full complement. Lastly, it was back in the days of NDP rule that the re- gion was first promised a new courthouse to fix the cur- rent antiquated setup of various locations across the re- gion. More than eight years later a decision on location has still not been reached, much less a shovel in the ground. There's plenty to discuss and plenty to be de- bated in the weeks ahead. However, for sure, voters are looking for a clear and detailed course of action for our future. It's time to get down to real business and issues - we're awaiting our options. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 27, 2003 PAGE A7 P Kids In the Pickering Museum Village August 29 @ 10am - 1:30pm Buzz Saws & Pinwheels Parent & Child Crafts & Games ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL DATE MEETING TIME September 3 Committee of Adjustment 7:00 pm September 8 Planning & Committee of the Whole 7:30 pm September 10 Race Relations & Equity Committee 7:00 pm September 11 Waterfront Coordinating 7:00 pm Committee Book Clubs @ your library™ for Adults 55+ Call 905.831.6265 (0) Pickering Recreation Complex 1867 Valley Farm Road, (just east of Pickering Town Centre 905.683.6582 cityofpickering.com FACILITIES Cardio & Weight Rooms Cybex Selectorized Weight Machines & plate-Loaded Swimming Whirlpool & Sauna Based on annual, full adult membership Make it Yours starting from $24 per month Private Club Facilities at Community Prices CIVIC COMPLEX RECREATION COMPLEX RECREATION COMPLEX POOL DUNBARTON POOL RECREATION COMPLEX ARENA PICKERING MUSEUM VILLAGE PICKERING PUBLIC LIBRARIES City of Pickering Emergency Telephone Number is 905-683-4319 All City of Pickering Facilities will be CLOSED Monday, September 1, 2003 Pickering Recreation Complex All meetings are open to the public.

A sudden breeze could spread the fire. • Keep a supply of water, and a shovel, near the campfire. • Make sure the campfire has been completely extinguished. The ashes should be soaked thoroughly with water to make sure they won’t re-ignite.

You get out of bed and head for the bathroom. After your morning pit stop, you flush the toilet. Then you start the shower, wait for it to reach the right temperature and step inside to clean for 10 minutes. Teeth-brush- ing and mouth-rinsing follow. Down- stairs in the kitchen, you may make a pot of coffee or a cup of tea. Maybe do some dishes while packing your lunch. The common denominator: Water. Last year, Durham residents used an average of 44 million gallons of water each day, a whopping 16 billion gallons for the year. The peak day was July 14, when we used almost 70 mil- lion gallons of the wet stuff. To a person living in Durham, get- ting fresh, clean drinking water is as easy as turning a tap. But the people behind the scenes - those who make sure the water flows when you twist your wrist - present a unique world of cavernous concrete tanks, huge roaring pumps, chemical treatment and testing and a changing world of water in the wake of Walker- ton. TTHHEE MMAANN BBEEHHIINNDD OOUURR CCLLEEAANN WWAATTEERR Meet John Cameron. He's the man in charge of water for Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Courtice and Brooklin. Hard hat perched on his head, date- book and pen nestled in his shirt pocket, Mr. Cameron looks like a sci- entist without the lab coat. Although not in the stereotypical room filled with boiling beakers and test tubes, he's giving a tour of his own personal laboratory: the huge Ajax Water Sup- ply Plant on Lake Driveway, just east of Harwood Avenue. "It's like you're cut and bleeding," Mr. Cameron said, describing what it's like when the town's water pressure drops. "Like on hot summer nights, when people are at home, watering their lawns." We 're standing in an enormous and loud concrete room filled with pumps that send water out to pipes, and eventually into homes. The pumps are robin's-egg blue, their connectors or- ange. Place your hand on one of the ice-cold pipes and you can feel the water roar past. While each water supply plant is slightly different, the basic principles are the same, Mr. Cameron said. "There are two things to make it (water) safe: remove particles and disinfect it," he said. In south Durham, water is brought in from Lake Ontario, from intakes far under the water's surface and away from shore. In Oshawa, for example, one intake is 7.6 metres under the sur- face, while the other is 10.7 metres. Ajax's intake pipe is 2.6 kilometres from the shoreline. Once the water is in, particles are removed with things like aluminum sulphate (which make particles stick together), filters and mixers. To remove contaminants, the water is disinfected with two types of chlorine: sodium hypochlorite is like household bleach, but double the strength at 12 per cent; or chlorine gas, the same substance used during the Second World War. Once water leaves the supply plants, chlorine levels can drop, so it's re-added at certain points, Mr. Cameron said. That's why someone living in south Whitby may have water that tastes more of chlorine than someone in the north. "Some people are sensitive to the taste," admitted Jack McCorkell, Durham's commissioner of works, about the chlorine in the Region's water. "I know some tea drinkers don't like the level of chlorine in it." In north Uxbridge and Port Perry, town residents get their water from aquifers, or water-bearing layers deep in the ground, said Greg Lymer, Durham's water supply superinten- dent. Like in the south, chlorine is added before water is sent to resi- dents. Brock Township gets its water from Lake Simcoe While the Region is not responsible for private wells in Durham's rural areas, its goal is to reduce incidents of water-borne illness and help people maintain their wells, said Tony Wong, a manager in the health department. The health department recom- mends how often owners should test their wells, how to do it, where to send it and get the results, and if there's a problem, how to fix it. Arguably the most visible parts of our water system are the water towers in various municipalities, some of them bearing the town's name. Little kids think the towers, which look like big square lollipops, hold the water for an entire town. They actually work like reservoirs, water constantly moving in and out during peak times and holding enough in case of an emergency like a big fire. WWAALLKKEERRTTOONN''SS LLEEGGAACCYY No one who deals with Durham water is surprised to be asked about the tragedy in Walkerton, where seven people died and hundreds became sick after drinking E. coli-tainted water in 2000. Could that happen here? "We would be aware of it before a whole bunch of people showed up sick," said Mr. Cameron. "In Walker- ton, they were getting lab reports and not acting on it." New regulations from the Province and increased staff training in the wake of Walkerton ensure that could not happen again. Not only is the treated water tested daily, but the raw water from the lakes and wells is treated as well. Tests in- clude chlorine and aluminum residu- als, ammonia, temperature, acidity and alkalinity. More complex tests for things like arsenic, uranium and mer- cury are tested quarterly and yearly.

Sometimes he tilts his head to the side and holds his fist in front of his visually- impaired eyes. It helps him refocus. At just over 5-years-old, he’s tiny. Nicky has CHARGE Syndrome, a dis- ease of many different birth defects in- cluding coloboma (a cleft or failure to close of the eyeball), cranial nerves (facial palsy), heart defects, atresia of the choanae (blockage of the nose to throat passages), retardation of growth and de- velopment, genital and urinary abnormali- ties, and ear abnormalities and hearing loss. There are only 100 CHARGE kids in Canada, and Nicky, from Bowmanville, is one of them. “Although these children have many problems, they can survive and become healthy, happy citizens,” says the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation Web site, adding many abnormalities can be surgi- cally corrected. Despite his disability, Nicky takes his behind-the-scenes tour of the zoo with his family and friends - two of which have cerebral palsy - in stride. He delights in touching Flanders the python snake, stroking his scales with help from mom Angela. His intervenor, Jacki Green, helps Nicky receive non-distorted information full- time, five days a week. “I have to make sure he sees the world through his hands,” said Miss Green, who works with the Canadian Deaf Blind Rubella Association and the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board. “I’m his eyes and ears.”Jacki Green and Nicholas Fice share a moment of discovery on a recent trip to the Toronto Zoo.

See page B2 Area athlete a trend-setter on new Grambling State Lady Tigers soccer squad BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor AAJJAAXX ——It's hot in Grambling, Louisiana - 107F hot. It's even hotter when you're on the soccer pitch training during two-a-day workouts with the newly formed Grambling State University Lady Tigers women's soccer team. Lindsay Murphy takes it all in stride, though, saying that her new coach, Matthew Okoh, has made it bearable for the players who've been working out in the hot northern Louisiana sun since Aug. 8. "It's not really that bad," says Mur- phy, who'll play the stopper position with the Tigers, making their NCAA Division 1 Southwest Athletic Con- ference (SWAC) debut this fall. "He's been really good about it. We do all our running at the beginning of practice, when you're not so tired. The practices have been bearable." Since her arrival at the college in early August, Murphy was greeted with two-a-day workouts. Since school started, however, that has been dropped down to a practice session each night, with two-a-day sessions on weekends. The 24-mem- ber Lady Tigers are still searching for a permanent practice field, using the university's baseball field as its interim home base. The 18 year old who played most of her minor soccer with the Ajax Warriors and Ajax United and who g raduated from Pickering High School is a freshman at the Louisiana school, mostly known for its marching bands. Now, she's hop- ing the school will gain a reputation as a powerhouse for women's soccer in the SWAC conference, which is also home to such schools as Alaba- ma A&M, Alabama State, Alcorn State, Jackson State and Mississip- pi Valley State, to name a few. Murphy says it's an exciting time to be part of something brand new at Grambling State. "It's really exciting and it will be challenging too, because you want to set high goals and records at the school," she says. Murphy visited the university just before school started on Aug. 8, get- ting to know her teammates. She's not the lone Canadian on the Lady Tigers; two other Canucks will also suit up for Grambling State this sea- son, including one from Toronto and another from British Columbia. Most of all, she was welcomed by the other players. "I love it, especially being part of the team. I met the team the week before the start of school and every- body hit it off immediately. It's very close-knit," she says. Choosing Grambling State, says Murphy, was an easy choice. Receiv- ing a full scholarship, playing in a warm climate and, above all, the academic courses that dovetailed nicely with her own goals all played a role in her decision. Grambling State "was the most in- terested," explains Murphy, who also received scholarship offers from sev- eral other U.S. schools, including Missouri Valley, Mississippi Valley, Shorter College, Shawnee State and Ouachita University. "The coach told me all the good and bad about the school, mostly that everyone would be starting on the same page. And, it was also a full scholarship. I'll be majoring in teaching and teaching and nursing are a big part of the school." Grambling State coach Okoh per- sonally scouted Murphy when she played with Scarborough United club team at a tournament at the Florida Sun Bowl in Fort Laud- erdale, Florida in December of last year. Soon after, she was offered a scholarship to the campus in Gram- bling, a small town of 5,400 located 60 miles east of Shreveport, Louisiana. The Grambling State campus is known as primarily an African- American educational enclave. That didn't deter Murphy from accepting a scholarship at the university. "It has been an easy transition. Everyone has made me feel comfort- able. The teachers are all nice. It's not an issue at all." After close to a full month of prac- tices, the Grambling State Lady Tigers women's soccer team will begin play for real in Jackson, Mis- sissippi on Aug. 30 against Bell- haven College. The home opener for the team is set for Sept. 2. She's not the only person in the Murphy household to earn a schol- arship stateside. Her brother J-D Murphy is the starting keeper for Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Lipscombe plays in the NCAA Division 1 Atlantic Sun Con- ference. Soccer in Louisiana a hot proposition Fe licien flies to decisive victory in hurdles heat City Olympian second fastest qualifier for semifinals at worlds; Henry set to run in relay PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A city athlete moved one step closer to the 100-metre hur- dles final after a flawless perfor- mance in her heat at the IAAF World Track and Field Champi- onships in Paris, France Monday af- ternoon. Perdita Felicien, 23, won her heat - - Heat 4 of 5 at the world champi- onships -- in a time of 12.70 seconds, which qualified her to move on to the women's 100m hurdle semifinals Tuesday. Felicien will run in Lane 4 in Heat 1 of three semifinal heats. Lining up next to her, in Lane 3, is U.S. Olympic legend Gail Devers. The top two finishers and the two fastest losers will move on to Wednesday's f inal. The semifinal result wasn't available at press time. The Canadian Olympian ad- vanced to the semifinal in impres- sive fashion, reeling off the second fastest qualifying time of all five pre- liminary heats. The top three finishers in each heat, plus the nine fastest losers moved on to the semifinals. The University of Illinois senior finished well ahead of Lacena Gold- ing-Clarke, of Jamaica, who was sec- ond in 12.86 seconds and also moved on to the semifinal round. Linda Ferga-Khodadin of France was third, also in 12.86, and also moved on to the semifinal. In total, five en- trants in Heat 4 moved on to the next round. Felicien continues on a curve of improvement heading into the worlds. At a tune-up meet in Switzerland -- the Weltklasse Zurich Golden League Meet -- she won the 'B' event in a time of 12.67 seconds, bettering her previous personal best of 12.68 she set at the NCAA outdoor championships in Sacramento, Cali- fornia in June. Angela Whyte, of Edmonton, the only other Canadian in the women's 100-metre hurdles, also qualified for the semifinal. She was third in Heat 3 in a time of 12.99 seconds. Meanwhile, Anson Henry 24, of Pickering, competed in the men's 100 metres where he finished fourth in Heat 9 of a total of 10 heats. Running in Lane 1, Henry was clocked in 10 .33, but his time wasn't fast enough to move on to the semifinals. The graduate of Washington State University will also run for Canada in the 4-x-100-metre relay. He'll be joined on the track by Charles Allen, of Brampton, Jermaine Joseph, of Hamilton, and Roan Sterling, of Cambridge. The men's 4-x-100-metre relay heats begin Saturday, leading up to Saturday's semifinal heats and Sun- day's final. PPEERRDDIITTAA FFEELLIICCIIEENN Moves on at worlds. Panthers’ lineup shaping up BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come togeth- er for the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers regular-season roster. After one week of training camp, the Panthers have 10 players signed for the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior 'A' Hockey League season. Of the 10, four are returning players; the others are local prospects who've shone through the first week of camp. The signees are: • Bryan Hampton: a hard-nosed defenceman who's chalked up 105 minutes in penalties last season. He had three goals and 18 assists last year; • Cory York: Back with the club after suffering an arm injury that kept him out for most of the season. In 23 games last year, the speedy centreman had three goals and two assists; • Andrew Dissanayake: The sopho- more forward has nine goals and six assists last year for the Panthers. The local product is attending the Ontario Hockey League's Guelph Storm training camp; • Ryan Annesley: The defenceman is also returning to the fold. The local product recorded two goals and 13 assists last season with the Panthers; • Derek Lynden: The forward played with the Bowmanville Ea- gles of the league's Eastern Confer- ence last season, scoring three points in just 14 games; • Jeremy Whelan: Pickering resi- dent played with the Vaughan Kings minor midgets last summer. The forward was a fourth-round draft pick of the Mississauga Ice Dogs; • Phil McIlhone: Forward played with the Whitby minor midgets last year and was a fifth-round draft pick of the Sudbury Wolves. He's a Pickering resident; • Danny Sullivan: The defenceman played with the Toronto Young Nats last season. He was an 11th- round pick of the Mississauga Ice Dogs; • Paul Michael Rivest: The forward played with the Whitby Wildcats 'AAA' midgets last season; • John Scrymgeour: A Pickering resident, he played with the Markham Waxers 'AAA' midgets last season. Panthers' new head coach and general manager John Winder was pleased to get the 10 players signed for the coming season, noting it was an added bonus that many of the rookies on the roster are all from the local area. "We put a lot of thought into it. We w anted to try to pick the best team here," he says. "We not signing these kids for the sake of signing them just because they're local." The club, says Winder, was effec- tively put behind the eight-ball be- cause of the unexpected cancella- tion of its first exhibition game against the Peterborough Bees last Thursday. A fire on the roof at the Pickering Recreation Complex put the game on ice. "We wanted to put all the rookies in a game and get a good look at them," he says.

Brendan Morgan, 12, ran as part of Region 1 (Ontario) boys' 11-12 4-x- 100-metre relay team with team- mates Bruno Hortelan, 11, of Burlington, Ehis Adada, 11, of To r onto, and Dimitry Issajenko, 11, of Toronto. The Ontario foursome ran to first place in a time of 51.83 seconds. Amazingly, the time was a full three seconds better than the team's qual- ifying time. It's the second time Brendan has attended the Her- shey Youth Pro- gram meet. In 2000, he compet- ed in the 200 me- tres. He trains with the Bullets Track and Field Club where he's coached by Rick Westwood.

Fourth annual music revival hits local stage Sept. 20 DDUURRHHAAMM ——It's a night that will be good for the soul. The fourth annual Durham R&B Revival will be held Sept. 20, pre- sented by George Olliver and Hunt- ed-Hughes Productions. Olliver and Robbie Lane and the Disciples will star in the festival. Olliver, a Whitby resident, is a singer, writer, producer and record- ing artist. He was the lead singer of the R&B band Mandala, with top 10 hits 'Opportunity' and 'Give and Take.' Nicknamed 'the blue-eyed prince of soul,' he has performed with The Who, the Rolling Stones and Cream. In the 70s, he formed Natural Gas and the self-titled album hit the top 10 in Canada. His nightclub, Club Bluenote, was a top spot in Toronto in the 80s. Recent- ly, he earned a Juno nomination for his first solo album, 'Dream Girl.' He also has an R&B Gospel band, Caught Away with G. Olliver, which plays in Durham. Robbie Lane and the Disciples was one of the country's most com- mercially successful groups in the 60s. The band played with Ronnie Hawkins and hosted the CTV show 'It's Happening.' They recorded an album with several hit singles. Lane moved into management, but the band got back together for a re- union in the 1980s and recorded a live CD, 'Ain't Dead Yet,' in 1996. The revival will be held at the Sports Garden Café, at the Iro- quois Sports Complex, 500 Victoria St. Tickets are now on sale for $25 each at the Café.

From creations on canvas to rare works of oil painted on silk, the Pick- ering artist has strived to recreate the best nature has to offer. Most re- cently her musings have taken her back to a childhood fancy with flow- ers. "Ever since I was a child of two or three, I was drawn to wildflowers," she recalls. After retiring from the Toronto school board a few years ago, she decided to combine her life- long artistic talents and the craft of floral preservation to create a type of living art, specifically preserving bridal bouquets as a remembrance for newlyweds. "I want to give them a work of art, not a piece of craft," she says. Once, she recalls, she created one of her works for two friends who were get- ting married. A few years later, they decided to divorce but could not de- cide who should keep the piece she had created from the bouquet and boutonniere. They returned to her, asking that she create a second piece so they may both have one. But she refused. Instead, she says, she re- minded them of how they felt the day they stood at the altar with the fresh bouquet and boutonniere; of the beautiful young woman holding the bouquet and the heart beating be- neath the boutonniere, she says. "It made them think. That was about five years ago. They are together now and have since had three children. My floral arrangement saved a mar- riage. "This story kept coming back to me," she says of her desire to contin- ue this work, not only as gifts for friends but also as a commercial artist. "I am using the same talents from my other art. I treat the flowers like paintings. But I must do it my own way. If they don't agree, some- times I won't do it. I am an artist." Mundra is working with a bridal consultant in west Toronto just now and is hoping to recreate Princess Diana's bouquet for her showroom. Each work takes her between eight and 12 weeks, she says. Natural talents aside, Mundra says she spent three years learning how to make her flowers last, or in some cases, to restore flowers that have already begun to fade. "Often by the time the bride finds me, it's too late," she says. But don't ask her to share her formula. "That's my se- cret," to creating everlasting gardens.
