College at risk: union But Polonsky says UOIT not hurting Durham By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – The growth of Durham’s new university shouldn’t come at the expense of the college that preceded it, say the faculty at Durham Col- lege. The faculty concerns were sent to the Province recently in a letter, regarding the relationship between the two institutions, fearing it is “at risk because of the impact of UOIT on the oper- ation of our college.” The University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology opened last September in Oshawa, shar- ing a campus with the college. Peter McKeracher leads On- tario Public Service Employees’ Union (OPSEU) Local 354 at the college. In a letter to Mary Anne Chambers, Ontario minister of training, colleges and universi- ties, he says college and UOIT president Gary Polonsky is in “a clear conflict of interest” filling both roles. He also notes that for all intents and purposes, “both institutions are governed by the same board” of governors. “The executive team report- ing to the president is made up, almost exclusively, by managers wearing dual UOIT and DC hats,” Mr. McKeracher states.

Feud leads to stabbing By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING –A simmering family feud boiled over into a fracas in which one man was stabbed and three people wound up being charged, say police. Durham Regional Police respond- ed to reports of several armed men fighting in the lot of a gas station on Whites Road Monday night. Witness- es told police that the men had been seen wielding a knife and a bat. One man, who had been stabbed, entered the kiosk at the gas station seeking help, but all of the parties in- volved in the scuffle fled before police arrived. Cops investigating at the scene found a knife and spoke to witnesses, who told them several men had been chasing each other around in the lot and fighting. Further investigation revealed that the stabbing victim’s wound was not life-threatening, and that two other men had sustained minor injuries in the fight, police said. It is believed an ongoing dispute between two families led to the out- burst of violence, said police spokesman Dave Selby. “There are two families involved in a dispute, and apparently it’s been ongoing,” Mr. Selby said. Charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon are Ilija Janev, 23, of Hillcrest Road in Pickering, as well as 41-year-old Norman St. Jean and Brett St. Jean, 19, both of Timmins Gardens in Pickering. Ilija Janev is also charged with breach of proba- tion. Norman and Brett St. Jean are also charged with assault causing bodily harm. By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING – A review by a team of international safety experts has given Ontario Power Genera- tion generally passing grades for the work on restarting Unit 4 at the Pickering nuclear station. The Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) is part of the In- ternational Atomic Energy Agency, which is under the aus- pices of the United Nations. It fo- cused on operating practices, with an eye towards safety, on Unit 4. “On the whole, we’re fairly pleased (with the OSART find- ings),” says OPG spokesman John Earl. The OSART team looked at op- erating practices in management organization and administration, training and qualifications, oper- ations, maintenance, technical support, radiation protection, chemistry, and emergency plan- ning and preparations. The team was at the Pickering station from Feb. 9 to 26. “We had a very positive report on our safety culture and our training programs,” John Coleby, the Pickering ‘A’ site vice-presi- dent, said in a press release. “We certainly consider this to be a suc- cessful review.” The one shortcoming the re- view team found had to do with getting spare parts for machinery. Mr. Earl says the problem of not enough spare parts doesn’t just have to do with Unit 4, but the “station itself. “We have to work hard and go back and identify it. Who can re- source the parts particular for Pickering, with Pickering being the oldest plant we have operat- ing?” Mr. Earl asks. OPG has hired more design en- gineers to help ensure enough spare parts are available. “Procurement of spare parts is an issue facing all of OPG’s plants as equipment becomes obsolete and suppliers go out of business,” Mr. Coleby said. Among the practices the OSART team found to be “markedly superior” to elsewhere in the industry are general em- ployee training, training for emer- gency response personnel, and using a program to reduce worker radiation dose during mainte- nance outages. Having an OSART team come is “an opportunity for nuclear op- erators to have an independent review on what we do and how we do it,” Mr. Earl states. It’s a chance for “experts to say ‘you’re doing some things very well’,” he adds, noting there’s also the opportunity to “gain input from (other) areas and apply it. “Most of the industry does it. It’s common practice,” he says of an OSART review. “I don’t know of any regulation that says it has to be done.” Once the review is complete, OSART provides a report on strengths and weaknesses, and does a followup visit to see what measures have been taken. An- other OSART team will return to Pickering next year. The nuclear operator also gets “feedback on improvement op- portunities,” Mr. Earl says. Countries can ask for an OSART review and the federal government, through its regula- tor the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, requested the visit. The CNSC wanted the review be- cause Unit 4 is the first of the four laid-up reactors on the ‘A’ side of Pickering to come back into ser- vice after being off-line since 1997. “Under the IAEA, an OSART team has a mandate to review nu- clear operations around the world. It will give a review of processes learned from best prac- tices.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 23, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P pickeringtowncentre.com Just redeem your receipts at the Guest Services kiosk to receive your free coupon.

Proceeds go to the local agency to help fund community outreach programs. “When resources are limit- ed, choices have to be made. Establishing the new university under these circumstances puts the college at financial risk.” He also says the finan- cial relationship between the two institutions is “un- clear,” and requests a meeting with the minister. Mr. Polonsky says UOIT was created to be unique and to have a unique rela- tionship with the college. As a result, “the gover- nance structure should be unusual and as it is.” The government act that created UOIT called for six governors to sit on both boards, he says, but at some point most of the Durham College governors will not be on the UOIT board. As well, he says the act called for the two institu- tions to share property, administrative staff and resources. With one administrative team serving two schools, one library for both, open- ing in a month, one food service and so on, “we’re saving money and the money we save gets pumped into the class- room.” Mr. Polonsky says the college is not subsidizing UOIT to the extent that “we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul. “If I had thought that UOIT was... detrimental to Durham College, I would not have spearheaded the fight to make UOIT hap- pen.” Katie FitzRandolph, an OPSEU communications officer, says college faculty are worried about the in- terrelationship. “They’re concerned that the college may be sort of the lesser partner between the two, and they’re con- cerned about what direc- tion it’s going (in) and they want some answers,” she says. “The growth of the uni- versity should not be at the expense of the college because the community needs both.” Asked why such con- cerns have arisen, Mr. Polonsky attributed them to a growing campus pop- ulation that reflects a vari- ety of opinions. “It’s Year 1 and we have many, many, many people on campus now and it’s understandable that we will have a cross section of opinion on everything,” he says.

Ajax Deputy Chief Matt Pegg says, in an interview, that construction is to start in the fall on a new Ajax fire hall at Rossland and Salem roads, with completion ex- pected in mid-2005. The new station will also house all administration that’s now at the Monarch Av- enue station, including dis- patch and training. Merg ing the dispatch centres is “absolutely good to do” because it will maxi- mize emergency response capacity, he adds. Everett Buntsma, Picker- ing’s director of emergency services, said he could not comment on the possibility of a merger. “It’s part of our negotia- tions with our fire service, which is currently being sent to arbitration,” he said. He did confirm there could be savings of about $2.3 million over five years. Deputy Chief Pegg noted the demands on the Ajax department are getting big- ger. “Call volumes in Ajax are increasing every year,” Mr. Pegg notes. “It’s getting to the point we’ll have to insti- tute a second dispatcher. This allows us to do it soon- er than we’d be able to do on our own.” Dispatchers are full-time, but if one is absent, a quali- fied firefighter has to as- sume the duties. With the merged dis- patch, there will be “dedi- cated alarm-room staff. We believe it will enhance ser- vice, by keeping all avail- able firefighters on the trucks,” Deputy Chief Pegg says. Oshawa and Whitby have already amalgamated fire dispatch. “A jax is growing so fast,” Chief Wilson told council- lors. “We saw this as an op- portunity to amalgamate with Pickering.” He added the savings “aren’t exaggerated. Os- hawa and Whitby did the same analysis and it’s why they went together. It’s good, solid cost avoidance.” There will be no loss of employment. Council heard from staff that there will actually be an opportu- nity for additional dis- patchers. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 23, 2004 PAGE 5 P OPEN EVERYDAY Mon-Fri . . . . . . . . . 9-7 pm Saturday . . . . . . . 9-5 pm Sunday . . . . . . . . . 9-5 pm 905-683-5952 PINE RIDGE GARDEN GALLERY 2215 Brock Rd.

Oshawa and Whitby have found savings in merger ✦ Oshawa from page 1 Like one of our photos? It can be yours For photo reprint details see ‘customer service’ at durhamregion.com The News Advertiser Metroland Durham Region Media Group A fire call wor th pursuing If the savings are there, a merger of dispatch services would be ideal Pickering and Ajax have had their differences over the years, but the City and Town have a chance to once again show they can work together when it benefits both. Wo r king together has paid off with an amalgamated transit system, while Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animals Control is anoth- er example where the two have been able to find common ground for financial good. Discussions are about to take place to merge the fire dispatch services for the communities' emergency response teams. According to Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson it could save each party more than $2 million annually. Right there, that's reason enough to take merger discussions seriously and support them. But, there are more benefits to be had. With call volumes in Ajax increasing every year, the need for a second dispatcher is looming, so with the merger, that can be done sooner rather than later. Under the new plan there would be dedicated alarm- room staff, instead of using firefighters to fill in from time to time. That would mean firefighters can focus on the emergency work they were trained for. Looking elsewhere in the region, Oshawa and Whitby have amalgamated fire dispatch with success. Ajax and Pickering fire chiefs should look to that example as discussions begin. One obvious concern Ajax council members had was an- swered easily enough. There should be no loss of employment under the merger they were told, and in fact, there may even be room for growth. So while more study is needed, the early signs are that the case for a merger is pretty solid. When it comes to saving money in these fiscally challenging times you have to take any advantage. In Pickering, the savings could be the impetus needed to fi- nally get the much talked about and desperately needed new fire hall built. Up until now, it has remained on the budget wish list, with no action taken or even imagined for the near future. Members of Ajax and Pickering councils, take note, this one's a no-brainer. The potential long-term gain to both municipali- ties from merging now makes too much sense not to pursue it. Support your fire chiefs as they map out the future of emer- gency services in the two communities. Protesters just want to save lives To the editor: Re: 'Message lost in tasteless ap- proach', Tony Doyle column, July 18. I have just received the paper and was once again flabbergasted at the com- ments coming in from people about the anti-abortion protest. "It was disgust- ing, horrible, too graphic..." What has me so upset is that abortion is as was seen in those graphic pictures, totally inhumane, and horrible, but the reality is that that is what is happening to those precious little babies. The nerve of people to call in with their disgust over the pictures and not over the act of abortion. Are we a soci- ety that is OK with wrongs as long as we don't have to see them? Get your heads out of the sand and take a stand against what we have deemed 'acceptable' because it is not a 'real baby.' What is more upsetting than explain- ing those images to my own children is having to explain them at all. I applaud those protesters, who have no hidden agendas and they aren't out for money or prestige. They just want to save lives. What is so wrong with that?

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 23, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Windsor man’s search for wins leads to Rock Nick Trudeau hates losing. He drives four hours from his Windsor home to Durham Region in the hopes of making an otherwise dismal lacrosse season a little more palat- able. And, he's seen losing in spades this summer. Trudeau's Windsor Warlocks -- a new entry in the On- tario Lacrosse Association's Major Series league -- are putting the fin- ishing touches on a dreadful 0-16 2004 campaign, with an average of 20 Indian rubber balls flying into the Windsor net in a given game. "I wanted to stick it out. Wind- sor's my hometown and I wanted to try to make things better, but it didn't seem to work out." The 27-year-old's hunger for something better -- a win, per- chance -- led him east on Hwy. 401 to Durham, signing on with the Ajax-Pickering Rock before the se- nior 'B' league's trading deadline a week and a half ago. In three appearances with the Rock, Trudeau's been a winner all three times, including a critical 11- 5 victory over the Arthur Aces Tuesday in the third and deciding game of the best-of-three opening round playoff series. The veteran lacrosse player was a major contributor to the victory, scoring the first two goals and set- ting up the third marker in lifting the Rock to a 6-0 first-period lead. The win vaulted the Rock into the second round for the first time in the club's two-year history. The lanky Trudeau is offensively gifted, quarterbacking the Rock on offensive series and on the power play. He possesses cat-like reflexes, effortlessly whipping the ball to a teammate in the right spot, or shooting with deadly ac- curacy. Trudeau admits Rock head coach and general manager Paul St. John had been chasing down his services for the past two months. But, only after seeing the Rock's transformation at the trade deadline did he decide to commit. "It's all about winning. After the deals they made to get better, it made me hungry a little more. It doesn't matter about the league: winning is winning. And, I think we have a team that can win." Trudeau was a late-season mer- cenary for the Rock last year, sign- ing on at the trading deadline in 2003. But, the team's season ended prematurely, dropping its first- round series to Burlington. This time around, he's hoping the win- ning won't stop. "I love winning. After the season I had, any win is good." Al Rivett's column appears every third Friday. E-mail ariv- ett@durhamregion.com. Hunger fuels Trudeau’s lacrosse drive Editorials &Opinions FRIDAY, JULY 23, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Letters to the Editor Al Rivett s t a f f e d i t o r By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING –The chang- ing face of Pickering is ev- ident everywhere in the city - especially in the new places of worship spring- ing up. The newest is a Hindu Temple on Kingston Road at Rosebank Road. Situated next to a car dealership, the nonde- script building doesn’t re- semble a temple on the outside. But upon stepping through the side door, the sights, sounds and smells of the Murugan Temple come alive. The sounds of the cul- ture linger in the back- ground, fading into the large, warehouse-like room and up into the rafters. The smell of in- cense greets those com- ing for twice-daily prayers and the dazzling golds, greens and reds awaken one’s sight as they slip off their shoes to enter the prayer area. A small alter faces north adorned with sever- al of the Hindu Gods, in- cluding Murugan the main God of the temple. The temple first opened June 28, but Chief Priest Kumaraswamy Kurukkal said there is still a lot of work to be done before it looks the way he and oth- ers envision it. “We have to build it up,” said Ravi Kassinathan, a temple member. The front half of the large building is going to be used as a banquet hall. “For weddings, cultural events and birthday par- ties - everything,” Mr. Ku- rukkal said. They have grand plans to renovate and improve the prayer area, which is already drawing hun- dreds of people from Pickering, Ajax, Scarbor- ough and other areas. Prayer times are 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. daily, but on Friday the night session is moved to 8 p.m. “Now it’s just starting. Tuesday and Friday we have about 100 people,” Mr. Kurukkal said. The land and building were purchased in Febru- ary after an extensive search for the perfect lo- cation. There were other com- panies interested in the location, but the temple f inally got it. “Many people fought (to buy) this place but God blessed us and we got the place,” Mr. Kassi- nathan said. One of the important aspects of the location was that the building is situated east to west - a requirement for temples. Now that the temple is opening, the next step is involvement. “Slowly we’re going to build it up,” he said. “We need support from every- body, that’s the main thing.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 23, 2004 PAGE 7 A/P We’ve Got Your Size Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING IT’S SALE TIME Comfort and Well being with every step.

A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 23, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Parents find private schools offer one-on-one focus they’re looking for This is the first in a three-part series looking at private schools in Durham Re- gion, what they offer, why parents choose them, and other challenges. By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –After trying without success to get her son, Matthew, the one-on-one at- tention he needed in the Durham Catholic system, Julia Siddall began looking at pri- vate schools in Toronto. Matthew has a severe language learning disability, cerebral palsy and attention deficit disorder. Simply put, the regular school system wasn’t meeting the 13-year- old’s needs, and he was becoming increas- ingly frustrated with his lack of success. “It was really sad to see,” says Ms. Sid- dall, an Ajax resident. “He would try to do something, didn’t think it was good enough and rip up his papers.” Matthew had been tutored at the Excep- tional Learning Centre (EXL) in Ajax, and Ms. Siddall says it was “just a godsend when (EXL) said they were opening this school.” EXL began eight years ago with a focus on speech and language therapy, and became an Education Ministry-approved school three years ago. ‘He couldn’t concentrate whatsoever. Everything was a worry to him. (After switching) he’d beg us not to make him go back to the (public) school. KATHLEEN GREENLEY Matthew just finished his second year and Ms. Siddall has seen a big difference. She cites a dramatic improvement in his self-esteem and a newly-acquired ability to work independently and tackle an assign- ment with gusto, not avoid it. “I’m quite sure that if it wasn’t for EXL and we let him stay where he was, he’d be dropping out,” says Ms. Siddall. Lorraine Lewis has heard these stories before. “Unfortunately, in our massive (public) education system, you can’t always make a difference for kids who need individual at- tention,” says the EXL principal and co- owner. She describes EXL as “sort of like an amalgamation of different services: educa- tion, speech language pathology and be- haviour therapy.” Many parents like Ms. Siddall opt for pri- vate schools for the enhanced one-on-one time, but others seek faith-based or schools that teach according to a specific education philosophy. Parents about to take the plunge seek one that’s a good fit for their family, says Elaine Hopkins, president of the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools. “They’re more likely to match their own family values and philosophy with the school, and will generally be happier be- cause the one-size-fits-all in the public sys- tem doesn’t fit everyone,” she says. Ms. Hopkins says there are currently 833 private schools in Ontario, serving about 11 2,000 children. She notes there are four main categories of private school: religious, which caters to Christians or Muslims, for example; philos- ophy-based, such as Montessori or Wal- dorf; community-based, where a group of parents with a vision for education band together; and special-needs, for learning disabled or other students. Kathleen Greenley’s aim was to get her son, Connor, out of the Durham public sys- tem. The Whitby mom says the bullying of her son by other students began in Grade 4 and continued, even worse, this school year. She pulled him out in November, en- rolling him at the Rossland Montessori School in Oshawa. “He couldn’t concentrate whatsoever,” says Ms. Greenley. “Everything was a worry to him. (After switching) he’d beg us not to make him go back to the (public) school.” Ms. Greenley did some Internet research before choosing Rossland Montessori. Montessori schools are named after Dr. Maria Montessori, who developed her own education method based on what she de- scribes as the “absorbed mind” youngsters have until age six. At this period of their lives, according to her method, children have a unique ability, unlike adults, to un- consciously absorb and learn from their en- vironment. A Montessori classroom is carefully set up to stimulate the senses and allows stu- dents to explore their own interests, with teachers there for guidance and to facili- tate learning. To a large extent, the stu- dents teach themselves. Ms. Greenley likes the individual atten- tion Connor receives, that he can work at his own pace and there’s no competition. “Now every day you know he’s safe and you know he’s happy,” she says. “He’s doing so well. His report card is nothing like you get from a public school; it’s so detailed.” Pam Jeffery says it wasn’t hard at all choosing a school for her three boys. A Christian, she and her husband wanted their children schooled in a place where there was acknowledgement of a higher authority, and in a smaller environment where teachers could spend more time with the boys. They were aware of Scugog Christian School, visited it, and liked what they saw. Ms. Jeffery, who lives near the Oshawa- Scugog border, notes students start every day “in a little devotional time,” where con- cerns or anything else can be shared in an informal format. “When I saw the kids sitting around with their teachers and just talking openly, to me that’s an amazing thing,” she says. Eric is going into Grade 8 this year, while Lucas and Alex are entering Grade 5 and 2, respectively. Ms. Jeffery has no worries for Eric, who will probably attend Port Perry High School in 2005. “I don’t fear public high school,” she says. She recalls an incident growing up in a Baptist household, when she was 14 and had an argument with her father over at- tending a dance. Her father told Ms. Jeffery he had taught her everything he knew, and that she was old enough to start making her own decisions. “That really had a big impact on me,” Ms. Jeffery says, adding she applies the same lesson she learned from her father to her sons. She reasons that by the time Eric is en- tering high school, he will have received a solid foundation at home and will be equipped to find his own way in the world. ■ ■ ■ Part 2: What Durham private schools offer. Education breakthrough Do your homework before choosing DURHAM –Independent schools come in a wide variety of flavours, so if you’re considering one for your child, do your homework. “Sometimes people choose schools be- cause a neighbour’s child is there, or they heard it was good,” says Elaine Hopkins, executive di- rector of the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools (OFIS). Instead, OFIS offers the following tips for parents looking for a private school. 1. Start researching early, as much as a year in advance. Some schools have long waiting lists, and many have completed their enrolment by the end of March. 2. Talk to parents who have or had children in the school, the school principal and classroom teachers if they are available. 3. What curriculum does the school use? How does the school ensure that each pupil meets its curriculum standards? What about testing and homework? 4. Who makes policy decisions for the school? 5. How can you be involved as a parent in the school? Is there an active parent council? 6. How is staff trained? What is staff turnover? 7. What are the fees and payment sched- ules? What other costs are involved? For more tips and information on private schools, visit www.ofis.ca. A.J.

If you have decided to join the thousands of families across Canada who are already enjoying a relaxing soak in a hot tub, here are a few pointers to get you on your way. Po rtable Hot Tubs - Available in a variety of whirlpool jet configurations and seating arrangements, these units feature an acrylic shell and all the equipment encased in a wooden or composite cabinet. Smaller units that only hold two people can provide an intimate soak, while larger models designed for entertaining can hold seven or more bathers. These self-enclosed units need only an electrical hook up and water before you are enjoying its full pleasures. Built-in Hot Tubs - These also feature an acrylic shell but instead of being encased in a wooden cabinet, the shell can be built into a special enclosure such as the deck of a patio or terrace. Once they are installed, they become a fixture of the house or a feature of your patio or pool. Soft-sided Hot Tubs - Providing the ultimate in portability, soft-sided hot tubs feature soft foam walls covered by vinyl. Typically weighing less than 45 kg (100 lbs.) and small enough to fit in the back of a pick-up truck, these units are great for the cottage or the occasional user.

With a little care, they can provide a lifetime of value to your home. Oak and maple are the most common hardwood floors, often found in older homes, they may have taken quite a bit of abuse over the years. Whether you are purchasing a home with hardwood floors or currently have hardwood floors in your home, you should be aware that a little care goes a long way. To prevent damage to the natural beauty of the hardwood planks, follow these guidelines from the experts. Miniscule particles of dirt-like sand and grit are a hardwood floor’s worst enemy. Like sandpaper, they can scratch and dull the surface. Regular cleaning can prevent the dirt from getting into the wood. Area rugs, especially near doorways, will catch dirt and prevent it from being carried across the room. Water and other liquids can ruin the finish and damage the wood if left unattended. Clean up drips or spills immediately and thoroughly. Many people don’t realize that the sun’s intense UV rays can discolor the natural patina of hardwood floors. Close blinds and curtains to help protect your floor or install sheer curtains that will allow light through without damaging the floor. When vacuuming, use only a model with soft brush attachments. The beater rollers can scratch and dent the floor. Better yet, use a straw broom and/or dust mop. D ust, vacuum or sweep frequently. When moving furniture, lift-don’t drag. You may not see scaring on the wood, but dragging furniture across a hardwood floor will damage the finish. Felt coasters under the feet of heavy pieces of furniture will allow them to glide across the floor. F loors in need of further help to restore their beauty should be inspected first for loose nails or boards, warping and damage, whether it be from termites or from abuse. To check the finish, experts recommend placing a tablespoon of water on the floor near the doorway. If the water beads up, your finish is intact, but if it soaks in immediately and leaves a dark spot, then the finish is gone and further water damage could occur. Anything in between means the finish is worn. How can you determine what kind of finish is on your floor? Most hardwood floors today have a polyurethane finish. Its high-gloss finish almost looks like a sheet of glass on top of the wood. Po lyurethane provides a flat, protective coating for the wood, sealing all the cracks. In older homes where floors may not have ever been refinished, a penetrating seal of oils or waxes may have been used. To check, run your hand over the surface of the wood. If you can feel the edges of each board, a penetrating seal was used. These types of products soak into the wood and protect it from within. With a minimum of care, a hardwood floor will last a lifetime and beyond.

Here are the main reasons why windows can make such a difference to your home environment, offered by Edgetech, an industry leader in the development of ‘health smart’ windows: • New science: Your upgrade should bring you abundant light, fresh air, soundproofing, and decorative beauty. Advanced technology has discarded the use of highly conductive metal materials, like perimeter spacers made of aluminum or steel. Instead, thermo-set rubber spacers - made entirely from polymer structural foam - deliver not only precise indoor environment control, but also superior sound insulation, as well a s suppleness to create any window shape and size. Perhaps most importantly, foam spacers help control condensation, which is a trigger for unhealthy mould growth. • Lower energy bills: To reduce heat loss, look for a “no-metal” component and for units made with glazed glass, argon gas fills low-e coatings to conserve the radiation of heat and light. Energy efficient windows and doors control the home’s operating costs. • Help conserve: High performance windows and doors with durable materials help to cut back on energy use. To maintain the warmest overall surface temperature, avoid metal materials as mentioned above. The all-foam, Super Spacer for example, conducts heat (and cold) at a rate over 950 times lower than aluminum, and 85 times less than stainless steel. • Top quality: For long-lasting durability along window edges, avoid metal, but also avoid plastic. Spacer material must allow expansion and contraction at the edge of the glass. The rigidity of plastic can cause seal failure and it can literally crack the glass edges on extremely cold or hot days • The environment. High performance windows conserve energy and therefore help to reduce polluting greenhouse gas emissions. Durable window materials will last longer and minimize future waste. Window-s hopping can start online at www.healthsmartwindows.com. Look for Canadian manufacturers offering high performance glass packages for both windows and doors.

A First Nation powwow is a celebra- tion of family, dance and song and is a sacred rite, allowing many to recon- nect with their culture. But there is a code of conduct when attending a powwow. Pictures are not allowed during the Grand Entry or during Honour songs. The Grand Entry marks the beginning of the powwow and sees invited dignitaries enter the dance area. Many carry flags and Eagle Feathers. Honour songs are requested to honour a per- son for a specific reason and can range in subject from death to odes to war veterans. During the Grand Entry and Honour Songs, onlookers must stand. Non-native people may participate and dance in the dance area, but only when asked and not before. One of the most common mistakes visitors make is referring to dancers’ attire as costumes as opposed to re- galia. Ramona Mandawe was a dancer during the 8th Annual Missis- saugas of Scugog Island First Nation powwow last weekend. Ms. Mandawe is Cree and hails from Beaver Lake Nation in Alberta. “The colours of my regalia were given to me by an elder,” said Ms. Mandawe. “Turquoise means wis- dom, yellow means beginning, red means strength and there is a hawk with a yellow sun because my name means Yellow Hawk Woman and there are wolves because my clan is wolves.” Each dancer’s regalia is symbolic of who the dancer is. An elder within the community gives the colours to each person and the colours are passed down from generation to generation on the mother’s side. “My son has my colours right now, and an elder may give him one or two more as he gets older,” said Ms. Man- dawe who has attended three pow- wows this season. “It means being able to connect with my community and my culture because it was nearly obliterated. It was nearly beaten out of my mother when she went to residential school, so it is a way to take back what we lost. The people are wonderful and I am just glad that they are here.” Seventy-three-year-old Gord Lind- say didn’t participate in the powwow but sat close by watching every detail. “I try to attend all the powwows that I can throughout the year. It’s my tradition,” said Mr. Lindsay. “We have to keep these going so that our tradi- tions won’t be lost.” A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 23, 2004 www.durhamregion.com 905-428-894541 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax Mon. - Thur. 10 - 7, Fri. 10 - 9 Sat. 9:30 - 6, Sun. 11 - 5*Not on sale or discounted items on matt r e s s sets NOPST & GST*BEDS DISCOUNTERSBEDS DISCOUNTERS SOLID PINESOLID BIRCHSOLID OAK $139TWIN BED $169TWIN BED $269DOUBLE BED NIGHT TABLE $149 MATES BED $399 5 DR CHEST $299 DESK HUTCH $399 DRAWERS $149 BUNK w/mattress purchase $299 QUEEN BED $399 ARMOIRE $499 DRESSER WITH MIRROR $499 ALL SOLID HONEY PINEALL SOLID HONEY PINE BUNK BEDS FUTONS DAY BEDS BEDROOM SUITES KIDS BEDS IRON BEDS $199PEACOCK DAYBED With mattress $369CANOPY BEDS Complete with frame $279RENO CAST IRON BED from NEWITEMSNEW I T E M S SLEIGH BEDSCANOPY BEDSMATES BEDSWonder Sleep $99SINGLE MATTRESS $159SET DOUBLE $159 $219 QUEEN $189 $269 KING N/A N/A Sleep-O-Pedic $169SINGLE MATTRESS $199SET DOUBLE $189 $249 QUEEN $229 $299 KING N/A N/A Orthopedic $189SINGLE MATTRESS $269SET DOUBLE $209 $299 QUEEN $249 $359 KING N/A N/A Posture Firm $249SINGLE MATTRESS $349SET DOUBLE $279 $399 QUEEN $299 $439 KING $559 $799 $495 KIDS 6 PIECE SUITE Includes dresser, mirror, headboard, mates bed, night table & mattress ADULT BEDROOM SUITES Lowest prices anywhere!

Durham Regional Po- lice officers, including members of the tactical unit and the canine unit, stopped a car on Foxwood Crescent in Pickering around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday and arrested a 17-year-old Pickering youth. The boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is believed to have terrorized five teens with a pit bull as other at- tackers menaced them with a knife and gun and demanded valuables in the early morning hours of July 20. On Wednesday, police arrested a second Picker- ing youth, also aged 17. They are accused of threatening, attacking and robbing a group of five teens who were hang- ing out near Maple Ridge Public School on Bushmill Street around 2:30 a.m. July 20. Police say the teens were approached and robbed by four male suspects, who made off with money, cellphones and other property. The first 17-year-old, ar- rested July 20, is charged with six counts of robbery; six counts of pointing a gun; two counts of use of a gun in the commission of a crime; two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon and one count each of carrying a con- cealed weapon; breach of probation, drug posses- sion; dangerous driving, driving with no licence and theft and possession of stolen property under $5,000. The second youth is charged with six counts of robbery; six counts of pointing a gun; six counts of using a gun while com- mitting a crime; careless storage of ammunition; breach of undertaking and breach of recog- nizance. Police believe they may have been involved in an- other robbery about a half-kilometre away, just minutes before the rob- bery on Bushmill Street. In the earlier incident, an 18-year-old was ap- proached near a conve- nience store on Rosefield Road and robbed of per- sonal belongings, police said.

Durham teen finds alliance with others Encouraging trip to Ottawa By Shelley Jordan Staff Writer DURHAM –Having cere- bral palsy has only made 14-year-old Ben McColl more determined to at- tempt new things, but his latest opportunity had him climbing the walls. Ben, who lives with his family in Hampton, hap- pened across a youth- based program on the In- ternet while hunting with his father for a place to go skiing. A link to the Active Living Alliance for Canadi- ans with Disabilities led to his spending five days in Ottawa as one of 50 youths chosen from across Cana- da to participate in a pro- gram that included rock climbing, touring the Par- liament buildings as well as the Museum of Science and Technology. "We went tubing, met with a yoga instructor and learned self-defence," said Ben. "A table tennis coach came out from Nova Sco- tia. He was Canada's na- tional champion." Ben wrapped up his final year at M.J. Hobbs Senior Public School in June and will be attending Courtice Secondary School in the fall. He said his personal experience with cerebral palsy isn't as bad as others. He walks with the aid of two canes and occasionally has trouble performing tasks that require the si- multaneous use of his hands, but these chal- lenges haven't stopped him from trying anything he's interested in. "I have trouble with my legs and balance, and I can't walk very fast," said Ben. "But I have good upper body strength." He said he began work- ing out recently to improve his fitness so he can contin- ue exploring what the world has to offer. "I'm pretty lucky, even though I don't think I am sometimes," said Ben. He mentioned some of the people in the program were blind, and was amazed by how much they could do. "I was thinking that the things I do every day would be so much harder if I were blind," he said. Ben loved the sense of in- dependence he felt in the program. Participants lived on campus at the Car- leton University Confer- ence Centre and had their meals in the University cafeteria. "Each suite had a chap- erone," he said. "And we each had our own room in the suite with a lock on the door, a fridge and sink." Ben thought it gave young people a chance to check out University life up close. He said learning about Canada and meeting people from other provinces changed his life. Improving leadership skills and playing new sports has infused Ben with a desire to continue on that path, but there was something else he said also changed his life. "I met some girls from Quebec, New Brunswick and British Columbia. I talk with them on messen- ger (real-time e-mail) and any time I need help with school, especially geogra- phy, they can help me," he said. While youth are only al- lowed to participate in the program once in their lives, he's looking forward to going back some day as a chaperone. "It was totally awesome." A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Durham teen Ben McColl was selected to spend five days in Ottawa as part of an initiative by Active Living Alliance for Canadians with Disabilities.

DURHAM –A little seed of an idea planted during the Pickering Village Jazz Fes- tival has grown into a unique one-time art show, tomorrow at the Village's Soup Shack restaurant. Donna Laurence, restau- rant owner, says Soup Shack is hosting 60 framed paintings and prints by Afro-Canadian artists. The show is one day only, July 24, from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Laurence explains the idea came to her during the jazz festival where art displays were a big part of the event. She kept in touch with Artistic Impressions, one of the vendors on hand, and the show came togeth- er from there. Visitors to the show do not have to purchase any- thing, but the restaurant offers a full menu. Artistic Impressions, in conjunction with renowned African-Canadi- an artist, David Kibuuka, will donate a portion of the proceeds of each print sold to the Hope Initiative of World Vision Canada to provide prevention, care and advocacy programs for orphans, vulnerable children and those affect- ed by the HIV-AIDS pan- demic in Africa. For more information, call Laurence at 416-409- 6356 or to find out more about the artwork, go to www.artisticcanada.com on the Internet. 905-426-6242 Located in Wal-Mart Ajax OPEN Mon. - Fri. 9 A.M. - 9 P.M.

Catwoman Directed by Pitof Starring, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Benjamin Bratt, Lambert Wilson, Alex Borstein, Michael Massee Catwoman is the story of shy, sen- sitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry). When Patience happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), a cop who has fallen for Patience, but can- not shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a crime spree plaguing the city. Bourne Supremacy Directed by Paul Greengrass Starring, Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Karl Urban, Franka Potente Jason Bourne, a trained assassin with a memory program, is framed in a failed CIA operation and forced to take up his former life in order to survive. Those responsible soon find the fight at their own doorstep and discover that, just as he warned them in the first movie, 'The Bourne Identity', they should have left him alone. Also opening this weekend is 'A Home at the End of the World.' Halle Berry has the strength, speed and agility of a cat as ‘Catwoman’.
