Durham police cruisers es- corted roughly 30 vehicles, in- cluding tractors and combines, several of which displayed a sign reading, ‘Equity With U.S. Grain Farmers - Please!’ Sunderland farmer Bruce Pearse, who grows corn, wheat and soybeans, said government money is needed now to offset U.S. subsidies to grain and oilseed farmers, which have put Ontario farmers behind the 8- ball. “Our marketplace is not a market-driven economy now,” he said. “It’s being supported in the U.S. by significant payments.” Mr. Pearse, who spoke at a brief stop at Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague’s office, said in recent years U.S. government subsidies to its farm- ers have tripled. Yet in Canada “there is no national food policy” for the country’s $95 billion agri- cultural sector. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Farmers from across Durham took their rolling protest to the offices of provincial and federal politicians in the region in a bid to get federal and provincial aid. Farmers say the U.S. agricultural industry is being unfairly subsidized and are seek- ing action from governments here at home. See DURHAM page 2 Pickering school chosen in technology initiative Westcreek P.S. one of 30 schools in country to have student tech leaders GRANT YEO ‘Looked at as a model.’ Pickering’s Westcreek Public School is one of only 30 Canadi- an schools selected for the SchoolNet Network of Innovative Schools. Principal Kevin Lowe explains that the network is part of the larger Canada’s SchoolNet, a technology initiative supported by the Canadian, provincial and territorial governments, educa- tion groups and the private sector. Westcreek, the only Durham school named to the list, will re- ceive a $10,000 grant to support a unique school program in which students become technology teachers. “Kids adapt to the technology much better than adults do,” says Mr. Lowe. Technologically-capable stu- dents in Grades 6 to 8, The Tech Team, will become trainers in the use of presentation software and other tools. These students will be assigned to teachers to work with them and students in using technology in the classroom. “Our goal is to gather a signif- icant amount of kids, 30 or 40, who have these skills,” says Mr. Lowe, noting strong academic students are selected to take part in what becomes a leadership role. Eventually, the students can take their skills to secondary schools where they will continue to be an asset. Westcreek, which opened dur- ing the last school year, is known within the Durham District School Board as a technology leader. Mr. Lowe notes staff members have previously re- ceived grant money for Web- based research, which will be published. “We’ve had technology as a focus of instruction since we opened,” he said. Education director Grant Yeo recognized Westcreek’s achieve- ment at Monday’s school board meeting. “The school will be looked at as a model,” he said. “We need a cash injec- tion in the next 60 to 70 days, since that’s when we need to go back to the fields,” he said. Agriculture, the Re- gion’s second largest in- dustry, is “crucial to Durham and the country,” said Mr. Pearse. Nestleton farmer David Frew said farmers need $300 million to remain competitive with U.S. pro- ducers in the global mar- ketplace. “During the (federal) election we were told there would be money in some shape or form; it hasn’t happened,” he said. “A lot of farmers are in desperate need of cash infusions.” Federal government support for farmers is presently less than $1 bil- lion, compared to almost $4 billion in 1992, said Mr. Frew. He pointed out that grain and oilseed crops, which include corn, wheat, canola, oats and rye, are converted into thousands of consumer foods and an in- creasing number of non- food, industrial products like automotive fuels, paper products and plastic replacements. By assisting its farmers, U.S. government support amounts to “subsidizing the whole U.S. economy”. On the other hand, local farmers “have been subsi- dizing the consumer for 20 years,” said Mr. Frew. The problem has been an acute one for several years but has “come to a head” with escalating costs faced by farmers, he said. Mr. McTeague couldn’t be reached at press time Friday, but said at a No- vember all-candidates meeting in Uxbridge subsi- dies aren’t the answer be- cause Canada cannot com- pete in that regard with the massive level of support the U.S. and Europe are doling out. Instead, he said, the global market forces at work need to be addressed. Mr. Pearse said farmers don’t have a specific beef with Mr. McTeague, who has been “extremely sup- portive” of their plight. Farmers delivered an Ontario Corn Producers news release to Durham politicians’ offices that stresses the urgency of the problem. And, while it states that world trade negotiations are required to arrive at a long-term solution to the inequity, farmers can’t wait until the end of the decade for results. “Ontario farmers need immediate and intermedi- ate support to avoid being forced out of business, or reduced to the role of casu- al farmers who farm when they are not working full- time elsewhere,” states the press release. The convoy travelled down Altona Road from Green River, headed east along Kingston Road to Whites Road, then turned south to Mr. McTeague’s Brock Road office. After a brief stop they circled the block and proceeded east on Bayly Street then north on Church Street and back to Kingston Road. The farmers were on their way to Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty’s office and that of his federal counterpart, Whitby-Ajax MP Judi Longfield.

PICKERINGPICKERING ONLYONLY Service Hours: Monday - Friday 7:30 am - 9:00 pm Saturday 7:30 am - 6:00 pm Sunday 9:00 am - 6:00 pm PICKERING LOCATION ONLYPICKERING LOCATION ONLY BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer A number of “vital” projects to upgrade roads across Durham are in danger of be delayed due to a funding shortfall, members of the works committee heard Wednesday. According to Durham staff, the Region is facing a shortage of Development Charge (DC) fi- nancing and will have to drop several key projects from its five- year capital forecast. Works Commissioner Jack McCorkell told the committee the DCs available to the Region for road works will be tied up in the three 401 interchange pro- jects planned for Carruthers Creek, Lakeridge and Stevenson roads. “The big hits on the DC side are the 401 interchanges over the next three years,” he said, noting the Region’s share of the cost for those projects, which are also being financed by the Province, is $21.4 million, with $9 million coming from DCs. That means Durham can’t use DCs to help fi- nance other projects that were in- cluded in the five-year plan. The projects staff say could be delayed include improve- ments to Taunton Road between Brock Road in Pickering and Brock Street in Whitby; widen- ing Brock Road from Dellbrook Avenue to Taunton Road and from Taunton Road to Hwy. 407; improvements to Lakeridge Road between Bayly Street and Hwy. 2; improvements to Stevenson Road between Hwy. 401 and Hwy. 2; the realignment of Champlain Avenue; the Man- ning Road/Adelaide Avenue in- terconnection and improvements to Thickson Road between Ross- land and Taunton roads. “The new interchanges and the 407 mean nothing to us if we can’t move the traffic north and south,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, who argued de- laying those projects will create “major problems” for Durham. “We cannot stop the pro- jects...you can’t just strike out the roads budget. If you do that (you might as well) put up a sign at the borders (saying) ‘Don’t visit us because you can’t get the hell out’.” He added if those projects, which he maintained are “vital”, don’t go ahead, then the Region is simply wasting its time urging the Province to move ahead with the 401 and 407 highways. But, Mr. McCorkell said, “There isn’t enough money to do all of the things everybody wants done. The rate of growth is over- whelming our ability to respond to the transportation needs.” However, Pickering Council- lor and works committee chair- man Rick Johnson said if the im- provements to Brock Road in Pickering don’t go ahead as planned, it will be “bottleneck city” in north Pickering when the Hwy. 407 opens and develop- ment gets under way in the East Duffins community. “We’re supposed to be the ones planning for the future,” he said, telling the committee ap- proximately 20,000 homes are planned for Pickering’s East Duffins community within the next few years. In an interview, Coun. John- son said news of the expected de- lays is a “devastating blow...es- pecially (the widening of) Brock Road (being dropped from the capital forecast)...when the 407 opens (in August) we will feel the effects.” That’s why he believes the Region needs to find alternate fi- nancing options to ensure the projects can proceed. “It’s evident today we have to do some type of different financ- ing formula,” Coun. Johnson said. “We’ve got to get Brock Road to four lanes as soon as possible...Taunton Road from Brock Road to Brock Street should be widened to four lanes as well...it should be done within the five-year forecast.” Mr. Anderson reported possi- ble financing options will be dis- cussed at the council retreat being held in early February.

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser Jan. 28, 2001 Latimer sentence ‘outrageous’ To the editor: I think Robert Latimer’s convic- tion is outrageous. We live in a world where the law doesn’t always protect and serve the people as it should; unfortunately the world is not black and white and the law often fails the people. How does the Supreme Court of Canada rule over the love of a parent? What Mr. La- timer did was out of pure love for his daughter to end her suffering and send her to a better place. We have criminals out on the streets, our jails are packed and still the law finds it acceptable to send a man to jail who we all know is no threat to society. I watched a report from a couple who raised two children with the same severe disability; one is now dead and the other is suffering in a hospital bed. I listened to the par- ents describe their love for their daughters and how they thought Tracy had a right to live. The father commented that life sometimes throws you challenges for a reason; it brings people closer together. It is a test of love. Perhaps this is one way to look at it. However, have you ever consid- ered that the biggest test of love comes from one’s actions? Mr. La- timer willingly and knowingly put his own life and freedom on the line to end his daughter’s suffering. He knew what his actions might lead to and still he sacrificed for his daugh- ter. I once made a pact with my brother that if anything happened to me that left me severely disabled and unable to make decisions, he would make sure I would not be left this way. We both agreed that as hard as it would be, we would do this for each other at the risk of any consequences. It would be best for our families to honour our wish not to continue a life of suffering or unawareness. Should we be punished for not wanting to live this way or loving each other enough that we would terminate each other’s life for a bet- ter one? Unfortunately, Tracy never had the opportunity to make that deci- sion. She couldn’t; her father had to. After 12 years, he could not stand to see her suffering anymore and he knew there was no hope for a better life for her. Why is it so un- fair that, out of love, he sacrificed everything and did what was most likely the most painful thing in his life? Jo-Ann Lavery, Pickering The Supreme Court of Canada, forced to make the call between free- dom of expression and the rights of children not to be exploited, made a judgement worthy of King Solomon Friday. The Court upheld lower courts which have said it is illegal to produce and distribute child pornography. Forced to decide on possession of child porn, it drew the line at those who pro- duce photographic or written porn strictly for their own uses. Those per- sonal pictures or videos cannot depict children taking part in illegal sex acts. While it’s never been in question that a person can draw pictures or write stories for his own amusement, most citizens will have difficulty accepting that pictures or videos of naked chil- dren don’t contravene the spirit of the law. We’re all aware of pictures of babies in bathtubs. Most of us who have chil- dren probably have pictures (which our kids are acutely embarrassed at) in photo albums. That’s not what we’re referring to here. We’re talking about shots of naked children (anybody 17 and under) which clearly show private parts. Surely those pictures are an invasion of privacy and could be construed as a violation of Section 7 of the Charter which states, ‘Everyone has the right to life, liberty and ‘security of the person’ and the right not to be deprived thereof.’Naked pictures of young people deprive them of their right to security of the person. Ultimately, any situation that puts naked children in front of a camera and an adult behind a camera (video or oth- erwise) is a situation rife with possible abuse. Who speaks for the exploited child? Why shouldn’t the law be ap- plicable? Photographic or written porn for its own use clearly opens up avenues for abuse. Does the ruling mean if one other person sees the pictures or sto- ries, the porn is no longer for the per- son’s own use? Now that the Supreme Court has made a ruling, it’s time for the federal government to step in and amend this law. It must be clearly spelled out that photographs or videos of naked chil- dren, who are in no position to judge how those images will be used by the person behind the camera, is unlawful. When it comes to freedom of ex- pression for Canadian adults judged against protection of the rights of Canadian children, there should be no confusion or ambiguity. Children must be protected and it’s the place of the Parliament of Canada to enact legisla- tion that does this.

Submissions that include a first and last name, or first and middle initials and last name, as well as the city of residence, will be considered for publication. Timing is everything, as the pro- ducers of the late 1970s nuclear-dis- aster movie The China Syndrome can attest. Right around the time the movie hit the silver screen the Three Mile Island nuclear station nearly suffered a melt-down. Now, the provincial government can attest to this timing thing. It put a hold on deregulation of the electrici- ty market just before California un- plugged and plunged much of the northern part of the state into the dark. Parts of the Golden State have been left in without power, partially because of deregulation. Should we be concerned about the lights going out when deregulation gets here? Make no mistake, an open market is coming; it’s just the timing that’s not certain. During a presentation to Ajax council last week, Brian MacTavish, the site vice-president of Pickering Nuclear, said “One problem in Cali- fornia is they opened the market when demand exceeded supply. Prices rose rapidly. They had to pay more to purchase power and what they could charge was capped.” Right now, there is no problem foreseen in terms of supply being able to meet demand here. And, On- tario Power Generation figures it can keep the lights on for a few more years; longer if the company gets ap- proval to restart the older four laid-up reactors on the ‘A’ side. California power companies had the amount they could charge cus- tomers capped, but what they had to pay for the juice wasn’t. We all know what’s happened to fuel costs in the last six months. OPG isn’t in a position to argue against an open market, given the $20 billion in debt it incurred while running a monopoly known as On- tario Hydro. And, that debt is being paid off by power users — that’s you and me. In fairness, I’ve never heard an OPG official calling deregulation a pox on humanity. One thing is certain: Once the market opens up, you can expect to pay more for electricity. In Novem- ber, a consultant hired by OPG told the Community Advisory Committee that in other jurisdictions, rates al- ways went up with deregulation. It’s already happening and deregulation isn’t actually official yet. Veridian Corporation, under rules laid out by the Province, has had to raise rates in order to earn a return on investment for its shareholders. Once again, that’s you and me.

Keith Gilligan Staff Writer Does child porn ruling protect rights of children? Manufacture, distribution illegal, but not possession As expected, Durham Catholic District School Board trustees approved in principle a 20-year Capital Strategic Plan at Monday’s board meeting. The plan will direct the board’s provincial grant money for new schools and additions to where pupil places are most required in the region. Drafted by consultants C.N. Watson and Associates Ltd., the plan forecasts where most of Durham’s housing growth is slated to occur to determine where the board’s future students will come from. According to C.N. Watson, over the next 20 years the board’s student population will in- crease by about 11,600 stu- dents, with roughly three- quarters of them living in Whitby,Ajax and Pickering. The board will have to borrow $76 million to build new facilities, the consul- tant estimates, not including about $70.3 million the board borrowed to finance recent capital projects such as the new high schools under construction in Ajax and Whitby. As part of the strategic plan, trustees Monday also approved additions to St. Monica, St. Elizabeth Seton and St. Isaac Jogues Catholic elementary schools in Pickering. That work is called for in the board’s building schedule to 2004. Two new elementary schools in Ajax and one in Whitby are also called for in the 2001-2004 School Accommodation Plan. NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 28, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P Durham officials look ahead 20 years Catholic board OKs strategic plan Lecture sheds light on Alzheimer Disease The month of January is almost at an end but for many Durham residents, the illness they live with every day and every month is anything but over. January is Alzheimer Awareness Month and with an estimated 4,000 people with the disease (or a relat- ed dementia disorder) liv- ing in Durham Region, in- formation is vital. It is also estimated 110,000 Canadi- ans will develop Alzheimer Disease or dementia this year. That’s why the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region is present- ing a lecture Jan. 30 on the ‘Importance of Early Diag- nosis.’ Geriatrician Dr. Jennifer Ingram will provide partic- ipants information for fam- ily caregivers about health care, social service sup- ports and community vol- unteers. The lecture will begin in the auditorium of the Oshawa Public Library’s McLaughlin Branch, 65 Bagot St., at 9:30 a.m. and is scheduled to last about two hours.

Most people at this time of year are just start- ing to see the results of the extravagance that most of us do for the holiday season. We look at the new balances and can’t believe that we spent that much, even though we swore that this year would be different. Well don’t despair, there is a solution. Consolidate those high payment, and high rate cards into one monthly pay- ment. At Central Funding Group, we have always specialized in consolidation loans and mortgages. Over the years, the average monthly payment savings has averaged in excess of $600 a month. This amount of monthly savings can often mean the difference between keeping a good credit rating versus falling behind, and losing that all important A-1 status. Remember, that if you fall behind in payments, but catch them up at a future date, the damage done to your credit rating does not go away. It will have an effect for a minimum of one to three years. (Depending on the lender). The trick is to get your debts under control before they become a prob- lem. At Central Funding Group, we provide consolidation loans, and mortgages to 95% of the value of your home. It is more important than ever to know the lenders policies and limitations in relationship to your bor- rowing requirements. An example of this is, that you require a $20,000 consolidation loan, and you go through the process, and the lender then comes back with a turndown, because the amount exceeds their policies. This is not only a frustrating time loss, it also logs an inquiry on your credit bureau file. At Central Funding Group, our strongest assets are, the ability to know the lender’s policies and require- ments, and to obtain the financing that you require. For fast Professional service, make Central Funding Group, your first and last place to shop for all your financial requirements. Till next time Glenn A. Campbell TIME FOR A WINTER CLEANUP Living pain-free is the only way to live. But many of us endure pain when we don’t have too. Why suffer from painful feet, heels, ankles, legs or back? Help is only a phone call away. Hundreds of people across Durham have sought help from the caring professionals at Durham Podiatry Associates. Located in Whitby at the northeast corner of Dundas St. and Thickson Rd, Sheldon Freelan D.P.M., Barry Noble D.P.M. and Mark Bradley D. Pod. M. have more than 60 years of combined experience helping patients of all ages break free of the pain that has lowered their quality of life. “We focus on providing our patients with a warm, friendly office environment,” says Sheldon. “We focus on giving relief to those who suffer from foot and foot-related ail- ments.” The podiatrists treat problems such as corns, callouses, ingrown nails, hammertoes, warts, bunions and heel spurs. This can be done in a variety of ways including non-intrusive treatments such as orthotics or in some cases, when necessary, out- patient surgery under a local anaes- thetic. In the area of orthotics, Sheldon points out that they take a comprehensive approach to design- ing the proper orthotic. It’s not some- thing you just buy off of a shelf or have fitted after a limited diagnosis. They take a very thorough approach through a series of xrays, a foot cast while the patient is lying down to get a proper rest- ing profile and an analysis of the patient’s walking pattern. When completed, an orthotic is designed to assist the foot in its proper alignment with the goal of eliminating pain and any further problems. “The simple fact is, your feet should not hurt,” says Sheldon. “If they do then something should be done before it gets worse.” It’s not age, shoes, work, weight or activity that causes most foot problems, but inherited structur- al weaknesses. If left untreated, they will lead to further complications and problems. “Proper diagnosis and preven- tative treatment is of the utmost importance to proper footcare,” says Sheldon.

When it comes to the elderly, there are certain clues and symptoms of mistreatment. The most obvi- ous signs may be physical harm or a sudden worsen- ing of financial condition, but sudden withdrawal and fearfulness, anxiety, hostility, apathy, confusion, depression and even a desire to die may also be tell- tale marks of abuse. Other warning signs include mak- ing vague health complaints, changing doctors fre- quently and making enormous efforts to please. You can also read a call for help when the eld- erly person tells stories that contradict each other, when his or her emotions get more intense, and when he or she behaves defensively or aggressively. You should also look out for someone who finds excuses for his failures or holds someone else responsible for her own faults. On their own, none of these symptoms indicate mistreatment, negligence or abuse. But if one of these symptoms seems to be getting more and more serious, there may in fact be a problem. Recognizing violence against the elderly (HSFC)-If your in the weight-loss mood, just remember the Triple-S Diet-for slow, steady and sure. But remember, how you go about losing those extra pounds is a vital con- sideration. Irresponsible dieting can lead to a host of com- plications, some of them potentially so serious as to be life-threatening. Many people just can’t get the weight off fast enough to suit them. So they practi- cally starve themselves, or they resort to over-the- counter, liquid meal replacement plans. Ultimately, these “get thin quick” schemes are doomed to failure. “The major problem with going on diets that are very low in calories,” according to Dr. Alison Stephen of the University of Saskatchewan’s Division of Nutrition and Dietetics, “is that people don’t lose fat: they lose lean body mass.” By reducing lean body mass instead of fat, they’re actually instructing their bodies to burn calo- ries more economically. In other words, by dieting they actually slow down their metabolism and reduce their bodies’ need for food. But when they go off the diet and resume more normal eating habits, their bodies are still metaboliz- ing at a slower rate. As a result, they put on weight more easily, often regain- ing even more than they’ve lost. Not only is the process self-defeating, but prolonged crash dieting can have serious side effects. They range from digestive disorders such as diarrhea or constipation, to dehydration and the loss of potassium, which can bring on irregular heartbeats. In the end, a gradual weight loss of one to two pounds a week is the safest way to go. Think long- term. Your ultimate goal shouldn’t be to squeeze into that new outfit in time for your grandchild’s wedding next month. Rather, you should be looking to make a lifelong commitment to maintain- ing a healthy weight. Such a commitment definitely does not include what most people call dieting, which usually implies deprivation. What it means is eating sensibly and keeping active. The importance of regular activity is often overlooked. But not only does exercise help keep your heart and your circu- latory system healthy, it also speeds up your metabolism so that your body, even at rest, burns more calories. And con- trary to popular belief, physical activity doesn’t make you hungrier. In fact, it seems to help regulate appetite. Before starting any new regimen, a visit to your doctor may be in order. If you suffer from any medical problems, such as high blood pres- sure or diabetes, talking to your physician is a must. Once your doctor gives you the go-ahead, modify your habits gradu- ally. You’re far less likely to fall off the health wagon if you don’t make radical changes to your eating and exercise patterns. It may take a little longer to lose that excess baggage, but once you do, you’ll be fit for life.

BECAUSE Better Health 2001ADVERTISING FEATURE2001 Ask the Podiatrist I’ve been an orthotic wearer for the past ten years and I need to replace them as they have lost their stiffness. My last two pair of orthotics were fabricated from a plaster cast impression of my feet. I now see some offices using other impression techniques such as carbon imprints, semi weight-bearing foam box impressions and full weight-bearing computer gait analysis. Is there really a difference? Dear Reader: Thanks for your letter. We have not addressed orthotics yet in any of our arti- cles. The term orthotics comes form the Greek word ‘ortho’ which means ‘straight- en’. Thus, an orthotic will straighten or align a foot deformity. Orthotics are fitted to the patient’s foot and, when worn in shoes, will redis- tribute the patient’s weight on the foot so that their gait is more balanced and abnor- mal motions are controlled. This will allow the patient to function more com- fortably. Orthotics are made out of many dif- ferent types of materials of varying flexi- bility (soft, semi-soft or rigid) thicknesses and shock absorbing abilities. We, as podiatrists, take in to account the age and weight of the patient, the activity the orthotic is to be used for and the shoe type it is worn in. It is not uncommon for a patient to have two pairs of orthotics, one pair for athletic shoes and the other for fashionable shoes. The athletic orthotic is bulkier, broader and more cushioned. It is better suited for wearing when exercising. The thinner orthotic, usually the newer graphite material, is better suited for inserting into tighter fitting dress shoes. The type of medical problems that can be eased by the use of orthotics are numerous, but must occur as a result of a foot that has a weaker arch (flatter foot) causing the foot to pronate or roll in onto the arch. This type of motion can lead to arch pain, shin splints, planter fasciitis, knee, hip and lower back pain, to name a few. The impression taking technique, like the foundation of a house, is most impor- tant to achieving a positive orthotic result. The preferred method and the one that I use in my office is to take a plaster NON WEIGHT-BEARING cast of the patient’s feet. This will give the exact position before it has collapsed. Avoid foam box impressions as they collapse the arch somewhat and it is more difficult to achieve the neutral position. Don’t be fooled by the high tech illusion of the com- puterized gait analysis. This looks state- of-the-art but again the arch is collapsed on weight-bearing. No one in the health profession sees more feet than a podiatrist and therefore no one is better trained to treat them. Many other professionals, as well as retail- ers, are ‘selling’ orthotics. Know to ask the right questions, including what impres- sion technique is used. The practitioner prescribing orthotics must possess the fol- lowing qualities: 1.The practitioner must have a detailed understanding of the fabrication of foot orthotics from start to finish and must understand how errors in the cast can affect the shape and function of the orthot- ic. 2.The practitioner must be able to treat the patient as an entirety, not just the feet. 3.Finally, and most importantly, the practitioner must understand the biome- chanics of the lower extremity and how to adjust or modify the orthotic after it is dis- pensed. Orthotics, although not covered by OHIP, are usually covered by most extend- ed health care plans. Know the restrictions of your plan. Some may only pay when a plaster cast is taken. Other plans may only cover the cost of the treatment if it is pro- vided by a podiatrist. If you are unsure about the quality of care, make some phone calls. Most podiatry offices will be more than helpful in explaining their office policy with regards to orthotics.

Feel slim, energized & beautiful Feel slim, energized & beautiful To a Child, ‘Love’ is Everything Better Health ADVERTISING FEATURE2001 2001 By Heather Campbell Have you ever observed a teenager in love with his new car? He spends time admiring it, polishing it, repairing it, tun- ing it and enjoying it. He is proud of his car and he shows that pride by devoting his love and attention to it. Aperson who loves their flower garden spends time fer- tilizing, pruning, mulching and observ- ing its splendor. When we love some- thing, it is of value to us and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it, time tak- ing care of it and loving it. When we love our children we spend time admiring them, caring for them and observing them. Taking the time to notice their needs and life chal- lenges and offering a shoulder to lean and a listening ear is a more loving ges- ture than to ignore them or trying to solve their problems for them. The quality of time that parents devote to their children indicates to that child the degree to which they are valued by their parents. Some parents attempt to cover up the stress in their life by making statements of love to their chil- dren. While they tell them how much that they are valued, these parents do not devote significant time of high qual- ity to them. Instead, these parents place their own busy life before of the child’s “longing to feel special and to have atten- tion.” To a child, abandonment by its par- ents is the equivalent of death. A child that has experienced feelings of abandon- ment feels empty and very lonely. Children do not have to go through a family separation, such as divorce, to feel abandoned and lonely. They feel it when they sit alone for hours in front of the television, day after day; when a par- ent arrives home from work and decides to look after his or her own needs while continually ignoring the child. When a parent continuously makes sarcastic remarks towards the child the child learns not to trust people. The child could become introverted and very quiet, with intense feelings of loneliness and a poor self-image. They could grow up to become the kind of person that hurt them as a child, very sarcastic. They could learn to hide their poor self-esteem behind the sarcasm, while hurting others in the same manner that their parents used to hurt them. If your child has poor self-esteem, the easiest method for helping them to heal is by reassuring your child on a daily basis that Mommy (Mom) and Daddy (Dad) love them very much and will always be there for them. Begin to walk the walk, not just talk. Stating a daily affirmation to inwardly give you the strength to want to support your child will be quite enhanc- ing if you practice it daily: I love and value (child’s name). I love to spend time with (child’s name). We read books together. We go on long walks together while I listen to his or her sto- ries. We giggle while reading a book of jokes. I enjoy helping my child with her homework.(Child’s name) feels loved by his mom and dad. I have a great rela- tionship with my child. I offer direction, structure, love and teach her self-disci- pline. I praise my child often. I give thanks, for our Life is good. Repeating your affirmation on a daily basis, believe it or not, will begin to strengthen your relationship with your child and will enable you to naturally feel more confident and supportive as a par- ent. Your outer world will begin to reflect you affirmation. You begin to feel almost as if you have someone inside of you showing you what to do, giv- ing you strength and encour- agement. Your child will begin to grow more indepen- dent, confidant and motivat- ed, all because YOU took the time to learn how to believe in the power of your subcon- scious mind. When the great Muhammad Ali first pro- claimed “I am the greatest.” he was a relatively unknown boxer named Cassius Clay. Ten years and thousands of repetitions later he was hailed as the greatest fighter of all time. Ali had tapped into the power of affirmation. Try changing your life for the bet- ter from the inside out. Learn how to tap into th power of your own affirmation. In addition to one-on- one therapy, Heather’s clients have the opportunity to join a Self-Empowerment group, where group members meet on a weekly basis. A Girls Friendship/ Self-Esteem Group for girls ages, 11 through 13, begins on February 2nd 2001. Evening or morning Adult Group begins on March 7th, 2001. Whether you are com- fortable in a group or not, these group sessions will enable you to grow stronger and more abundant in ways that are beyond your imagi- nation.

Often we approach the New Year’s resolution with zest, trying to re-invent ourselves, a make-over is required... but is it really?? We live in a time of necessary healing of relationships we share with each other, the earth and all living things. Yoga contributes to this evolution of higher thought and practice. Think about healing relationships, the first one we need to heal is the relationship with our- selves. Learning to value our own expression of life, our own thoughts and our own opinions is an important part of ever getting over the New Year’s resolution dis- couragement. In Yoga there is enough time to start listening to your mind, your body and that soulful piece of undefined energy that makes you human. Yoga prompts you to spend time working independently with yourself, taking the initiative and assuming greater responsibili- ty for improving your life and your growth as a yogi and as a person. As you get involved with Yoga and you feel more at ease with your body; you become more flexi- ble, stronger and leaner. The pos- tures teach you how to relate to yourself, how to balance your life, how to stay calm and take another breath. As you find the cold judge- ment of conformity melting away in the warmth and comfort of your new self-esteem you will start to respect the life changing of Yoga. Yoga practice is a way to honor yourself by striving to become the best person you can be. Your environment in turn will reflect the positive changes in you by becoming more respectful, lov- ing and gentle. Why Yoga? Because it works. We encourage you to make Yoga a part of your life.

The defending Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics champs are playing their best basketball heading into the post-season. The Monarchs are in first place in the Durham league with a 10-1 mark. Their only loss came against the cross-city Spartans from Dunbarton High School in a close game early in the season. St. Mary recently won a tournament at Trinity College School in Port Hope, easily beating Clarke and Earl Haig high schools before meeting a strong Nicholson team from Belleville in the final. In a close game, the Monarchs won 57-54 in overtime. The Monarchs will travel to Oshawa for a competitive 32-team tournament Feb. 1 to 3. St. Mary finished third in this tournament last year and is looking to improve on that result this year. St. Mary has two important upcom- ing league games following exams. The Monarchs host the Dunbarton Spartans on Feb. 5 and travel to McLaughlin for a game against the Trojans on Feb. 7. The team is currently planning a trip to either California or Hawaii next sea- son. In order to make this happen, the team is planning some fund-raising ac- tivities to help defray costs. The play- ers will host a March Break Sports Camp from Monday, March 12 to Fri- day, March 16 for boys and girls ages six to 12. Registration nights for the camps are on Tuesday, Feb. 6 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, Feb. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. For more information, call 420- 7166, ext. 5040.

BECAUSE The Ajax-Pickering Raiders major atom ‘AAA’ rep hockey team won its last five league games to stake the team solidly to second place in the Eastern Ontario ‘AAA’ standings. With the victories, the Raiders’ atoms improve their league record to 17-4-3, good enough for second place in the league’s Western Division. Ajax- Pickering is closing in on the first- place Barrie Icemen who they meet again later this month. The Raiders skated to a well-de- served 5-2 victory over a strong North Central Predators team in their most recent league tilt. Nicholas Mainelli netted two goals and added two as- sists. Marcus Car- roll and Brendan Hann chipped in with a goal and an assist apiece. Shaun Adams notched the other goal. Drew Stark, James Jarvis and David Johnson drew assists. The Ajax-Pick- ering atoms scored a decisive 8-2 win over the Oshawa Generals. Carroll led the way with two goals and an as- sist. Steven Shanks and Jarvis scored two goals apiece. Mainelli and Adams chipped in with one apiece. Michael Carey earned three as- sists, Jonathan Si- mone two. Single helpers went to Cameron Bursey, Andrew McCleod, Mainelli, Shanks and Hann. The Raiders travelled to Peter- borough and de- feated the Petes 4- 1. Kevin Watts and Michael Flynn didn’t show up on the score sheet, but nonetheless were tireless workers in the winning cause. Mainelli scored twice, Shanks and Stark netted one apiece. Jarvis earned two assists. The Ajax-Pick- ering atoms start- ed their impres- sive run with a 5-2 victory over the York-Simcoe Ex- press. Stark led the way with a two-goal effort. Mainelli, Jarvis and Hann each added single markers. Assists went to Johnson, Johnny Paterson, Hann and Mainel- li. Steven Koufis supplied the team with a strong offensive performance. Eric Nottbeck and Sean Morris, who has been filling on for regular net- minder Jeremy Eckford who’s current- ly out of action with a broken arm, have provided stellar goaltending. The Ajax-Pickering Raiders are headed east later this month to com- pete in the annual atom tournament in Levi, Que. The team is coached by Jim Gatens, assisted by Ian Fletcher. The trainer is Tom Koufis and the manager is Sabine Jarvis.

CALL 683-5110 TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! Hey Bob Nicholson, why stop at banning Europeans from playing junior hockey in Canada? Why not push to allow no foreigners into the country at all? That way our students wouldn’t have competition in the schools that our hockey players have on the ice. I am as Canadian as the next guy - and that includes Don Cherry - but the notion of not allowing Europeans to develop in Canada at the major junior level is not only as politically incorrect a notion as you could suggest, in the year 2001, it is just plain wrong. Having our best players skate shoulder to shoulder with the best from other countries is a good thing. What is Nicholson worried about, keeping a fourth line slug out of the Canadian Hockey League? The fact is our best players rise through the system and benefit from playing against visitors from other nations. Our best skating with their best, what’s the big deal? Members of the Brampton Battalion have benefited from skating along side defenceman Rostislav Klesla; same with players on the Calgary Hitmen who play with Pavel Brendl. If they weren’t there, who would be, some kid who playing Junior C or Junior D? I understand Nicholson’s frustration at Canada’s third place finish at the World Junior Championship in Russia. There is no better feeling than when Canada enjoys international success. It justifies the misguided notion we cling to, that hockey is our game and our game alone. But the fact of the matter is, it’s not our game. Hockey is now a global sport and we, as fans, are better served for it. Who would you rather watch play goal, Dominik Hasek or Steve Shields? Who would you rather watch on a breakaway, Pavel Bure or Gary Valk? Be honest. If Canada is serious about improving its performance on the international stage, then we have to attack the problem at the grassroots level. We seem to do a lot of talking about it, but there’s very little action. I coach an atom team in Oshawa and we practice once every two weeks. We play once a week. We need to make sure our players get more practice time, like young European players do. Maybe then we wouldn’t have to be so worried about teenage Europeans stealing jobs from our kids. Maybe then they wouldn’t make our teams. Put on the brakes. We’ve got the perfect place to kick up your feet. BECAUSE your life is going at 120 kph.

Local 353 bantam ‘A1’ girls’ hockey team cap- tured its third consecutive tournament crown after win- ning in Scarborough Jan. 14. The girls advanced to the championship game against an undefeated Peterborough squad. Using relentless forechecking and backcheck- ing against a somewhat com- placent opponent, the Durham West bantams pulled off a surprising 1-0 victory in the final. The game-winning goal was scored in the second period. The bantam Lightning started the weekend with a 1- 0 victory over league rivals, Whitby, followed by a not- so-sparkling 3-0 loss to Pe- terborough. In the third game, Durham West played to a 3-3 draw with host Scar- borough, enough to advance to the final. Durham West competed in the Whitby tournament and skated away with the championship. In the final, the Lightning bolted past Brantford 3-1. Playing host Whitby in the first game, Durham West had to settle for a 3-3 draw. The Durham West bantams went on to de- feat Rideau St. Lawrence and Brantford by the same 1-0 score. At the Barrie Sharkfest tournament, the Lightning girls went undefeated en route to the final against Whitby. In an exciting cham- pionship game,Durham West emerged victorious by a 3-2 count. The Lightning met the host team in the first game and posted a 1-0 victory. Durham West went on to de- feat Oshawa and Brantford by identical 1-0 scores. February will see the team travelling to London for a tourney, and back for its own tournament later in the month. Team members are Re- becca Lundy, Teresa Flax- man, Kayla Palmateer, Erin Routly, Heather Peel, Jennah Cheesman, Amanda Morra, Nicole Monosky, Megan Friel, Amy Draga, Andrea Bonner, Nicole Ruta, Chantelle Hurlbert, Kalley Greer, Melissa Scott, Laura Clayton and Lauren O’Hare.

Lightning bantams win third tourney title Durham West surprises Peterborough in final AJAX —Select Food Products took no prisoners in a win over the ever-im- proving East Side Mario’s in the Ajax Ladies Basket- ball League here on Wednesday, Jan. 24 The first half was close with both teams moving the ball well and shooting ac- curately. The second half began in the same fashion, but Select Food Products shifted up a gear with the fast break to take advantage of the tiring East Side Mario’s for a 47-26 victory. Kelly Morrison netted 16 points for Select Food Products. Julie Hughes replied with 12 for East Side. The second game be- tween Et Tu Caesar and the Bank of Montreal was one- sided from start to finish. Despite the Bank of Mon- treal having equal share of the play and many shots, they were unable to put the ball through the hoop. Et Tu Caesar’s, however, looked comfortable and made the scoring easy. In the end, Caesar’s were easy 37-16 winners. Lana Letourneau led the scoring with 15 points and Allyson Samuel sank eight for the Bankers.
