A;.-. The state of the arts John Cooper 18att"e repufter The towns of Ajax and Pickering have often been referred to as a "cultural wasteland." But bubbling just beneath the surface, ever ready to erupt, lies a growing arts movement which, if it ever gets its act together, could bring major changes to the community at large. Proof of this statement is borne out every day by the many talent- ed local residents, who willingly lead double lives rather than deny themselves the pleasures drawn from artistic self-expression or in helping younger artists find their way. Such a person is Judge David Stone. A Pickering resident. Stone wean a variety of hats, as a lawyer• teacher, musician. Rotarian and provincial court judge. E=ar from the popular image of the staid, stuffy, no-nonsense judge, he',, one jurist who can really swing. often strapping on a 12 -string guitar to play everything from the classics to popular tunes. And he hrings warmth and a sense of humour to both his job and to one of hi. avocations as a member of the Pickering Rotary Club. As a Rotarian, he co-founded the Pickering Rotary Music Festival. an annual event that draws entries - mainly high-school bands and choirs - from Durham, York Region and Metro Toronto. Now in its 10th year, the festival began when Stone was approached by two music teachers looking for sponsorship. "They had an idea for a music festival, but they didn't have the business side organized," says Stone. Enter the Rotarians. The worldwide beneficent organization — well-known for its support of worthy causes -jumped in, drawing on its members' expertise to make the festival a reality. The first year it drew 300 entrants. This year, the two-week festival drew more than 1,800. "The majority of our entries are from Pickering and Ajax," says ;.Stone.

Rotary hires adjudicators, works with sponsors on the program and ensures that school bands and choirs have a suitable amount of time with professional musicians, who provide sound critiques and ideas for improvement. Doing well musically is nothing new to Stone. Though "just an average" piano student while growing up in Parry Sound, he flourished after tak- ing up the guitar in 1965. He was 15 years old and the Beatles were the rage. And, like Paul McCartney, Stone is left-handed. He learned to play on right-handed instruments "upside-down and backward. His proficiency stayed with hin; through undergraduate studies at York University's Glendon College, where he formed a duo with Mark Connors, who later founded the a cappella group The Nylons. Tile pair played a variety of gigs around town. From there, Stone went to the University of Windsor, graduating in Law in '.973. He was called to the bar in 1975 and headed home to Pam' Sound to share office space with his father, Gerald Stone QC, a lawyer specializ- ing in real estate. Stone is a third -generation lawyer. And while his initial desire was to follow his father into real estate and wills, his criminal law practice was on the upswing. He handled his first murder case after only two years in practice. The Parry Sound experience introduced Stone to the Rotary Club. He played in a band that reworked popular tunes and per- formed at fund- raisers across the province. He moved south to work with the federal justice department in 1980, spending 10 years as a criminal special- ist before his provincial court appointment in 1990. Pickering Rotary Club President Tom Sears notes that the music festival is now one of the largest of its kind in the Golden Horseshoe, thanks to Stone's enthusiasm and fore- sight. For Stone, Rotary activities and musical interests are wel- come diversions from the "scrupulously neutral" world of the court. He speaks with optimism of a local music community poised for growth. Future plans include a performance hall. "so that we will have a venue, a focal point and a cau- cus, if you will, for developing ideas," says Stone. who has lobbied with the Pickering Arts Council for the new hall. Judging by the music festi- val's successful track record, it looks like Stone & Company should have a good case. Hospital gets cash from province Cash-strapped Ajax - Pickering General Hospital finally got some good news from Queen's Park. The hospital, facing service cutbacks and staff layoffs, received a one- time cash gift of $1,352,235 from the health ministry.

"It's great news. It means no more layoffs and from the community side there will be no cuts in services," he said. "We'll even be able to augment our services in the areas of orthopaedics and mental health." The hospital has already announced the layoffs for 33 employees, although Cliff said that number could be reduced through normal attrition. The government largesse, part of a $25 million package awarded to 18 hospitals in high growth areas (17 are from the GTA outside of Metro, including all six Durham facilities) was doled out based on a formula recognizing population density, expected growth and hospital performance, said Durham West MPP Janet Ecker. "I think it's a real shot in the arm for the hospital," Ecker added "It recognizes not only the work they've done in improved performance but also the increased . population growth demands they're li-'v'" CEaLE'S�.: s — Monday -s - Free Pool Wednesdays LIVE COUNTRY BAND 8 pm to 12:00 am�' Thursdays - Exotic Male Dancers`` Friday's do Saturday's Jack Pot Karaoke i�`\h• (905) 837-2266 1010 Brock Rd.

Oat: put another way, how municipalities, litre Ajax and Pickering, could casts in on tremendous economic opportunities simply by being knowledgeable, willing hosts to film producers "on loca- tion." Picketing was well represented at this gathering: Ajax, not surprisingly, was not. Several times during the proceedings, the wards "fwrding cuts" cropped up. Two days later, a misguided. ill-informed, typically short-sighted Ontano Culture Minister - Marilyn Mushin>sb - dropped the expected bombshell, gutting the Ontario Film Development Corporation and strip- ping away the S6 million it now invests in movies made by Ontario film makers.

Tranquada just loves this game with a new -round love, Gena Tranquada has started her rise up the tennis ladder. The Pickering tennis player's rise up the nations tennis ladder has been a gradual and steady improvement. Ranked sixth in the nation at the under -16 level, Tranquada just wants to keep playing to the best of her ability. "1 was more focused on my tennis last year," said the Pickering tennis player on her rise up the rankings. "I started liking the game a little more and started plaNing harder..' With more focus on her game. Tranquada accomplished all her tennis goals last season. " 1 wanted to beat a player I've never beaten." says Tranquada_ "And I came close to beating someone else I've never beaten before. It gave me confidence in myself and my game." Tranquada defeated Rebecca Ho -- tenth in Canada -- and lost a close match to Jennifer Howard, the fourth ranked player in Ontario. Now, in the under -18 division. Tranquada is ready to take on the country's best juniors. Tranquada is coached by Dave Ochotta and assistant coach Allan Care in the Advanced Junior Training Program at the Pickering Recreation Complex, who are trying to make their star pup:' an all-around player. Ochotta has known the young athlete for erg' ;sea., and coached her off -and -on for those years. "I see a steady progression: in Gena." he says "She's been real- 1y keen in her development of her tennis. She's a killer baseline player, but she needs to have some of the net to finish her opponents off sooner." A student at Scarborough's Birchmount Exceptional Athlete Program, Tranquada is appreciative of her coaches' efforts in her game. A learned a lot of things I didn't know before," Tranquada says. "Allan has helped me with my volleys a lot. I'm better at the baseline, but I'd ike to improve my game to be an all-around Mayer 'cause I like to play doubles." With one more year of high school remaining, ;he .non -to -be 17 year-old said she hopes to earn .1 scholarship to a university in the United States. Before that, she would like to become a certified tennis instructor this summer to add to her already impressive resume. "She's been a tremendous talent since I've seen her from age nine," says Ochotta. "She's shown a keen interest in developing her skills and if she can remain in the top 10 this year, that's great-. For now, Tranquada is enjoying life on the courts. How far she wants to go with her skills is up to her. "It's too far in the future to think about," Tranquada says of the possibilities of playing professionally. • 1 just want to keep playing and play the best I can."

Value and pleasure with 1996 Saturn From a car company famed for treating its employees like real people comes a car that behaves - surprise, surprise - like a real car. Welcome to the 1996 Saturn, a line of cars that may seem out of this world, but are really down to earth. The company's engineers and designers, given a choice last year between practicality and whiz-bang, gave us a little of both, while doing their utmost in holding down the cost. An example is the drivetrain computer. A 32-bit processor is faster but more expensive, so the engineers tweaked the soft- ware to provide an 8-bit processor that offers similar functionality while freeing up budget space for other details. 'Inose "details" - standard on all Satums - include sophisti- cated diagnostics (enabling troubleshooters to instantly locate the source of any mechanical trouble, simply by downloading the computer memory), daytime running lights, dual airbags, side - impact protection, 60/40 -split folding rear seats, tachometer, rear -window defogger and halogen headlights, just to name a few. When coupled with peppy performance, smooth styling and cool options like leather interior, antilock brakes and software that distinguishes between different road sur- faces, the result is a car that is just flat-out fun to drive. The Saturn's performance engine - a 1.9 litre dual -over- head cam sequential -port fuel injection version - delivers 124 hp at 5,600 rpm. The fuel economy is also impressive, with an estimated rating of 29-34 mpg (city) and 44-50 mpg (highway), depend- ing on the model you choose. The '96 Satum also comes with a state-of-the-art sound system and a keyless entry sys- tem option - encrypted, in case the bad guys try to play Bond and intercept your signal. A comfortable interior, roomy luggage space, strategi- cally placed control panel and a nimble ride that melds car and driver combine to vault the Saturn into the realm of high -continued on page 12 A different kind of company rom page 11 cker price automobiles. With its comparatively low ice, however, the 1996 tum scores high marks for It's rare when a car scores so ;h on the pleasure principle well as the value metre.

Questions about motor oil The Car Carc Louncil answers some common questions about motor oil: MY owners manual says 1 need an .4P1 (American Petroleum Institute) service rating SF engine 4. All I can find is SG. Is that ,Far•? Yes. The API service ratings pro- geed in alphabetical order, so SG Is a higher standard than SF. Owner's manuals typically say, "use SF or high oils," for example. However, you shouldn't put an SF nil into an engi a that requires SG -- that could void your warranty and shorten your engine life. Can / mit different brands of engine oil? Yes, if you trust. Because all oils are manufactured to PI and SAE standards, you can mix different brands. Because every company has its own additives aimed at enhancing the oil's performance in your engine, ,you should not make a habit of mixing them -- youll get the best performance by using the same oil. At a parch, it's better to add a I itre of 5W30 to an engine nursing on 1OW30 than to nun with low oil, but it's not a good idea to mix grades. Verified flyer distribution . at its best.

Some to lose weight, others because they think it makes them look bet- ter, feel more relaxed or have more energy. But the Number One reason is for health. The best approach to total health and fitness involves more than just one discipline. Some of the early advocates of fitness in our society focused too much on aerobic exercise alone. There was a tendency to overemphasize the isolated role of exercise in contributing to good health We now recognize the need for a comprehensive approach.

Flexibility is important, and a program of stretching and flexibility exercises is an essential part of total fitness. Strength, muscular endurance, mental strategies and proper nutri- tion are the building blocks that will maximize your overall performance. One final word of advice. If you have not paid enough attention to your personal fit- ness over the years, the time to start is now. Remember that it may have taken you years to drift into sedentary, stressful or high-risk pat- terns. It is going to take some time to turn things around. If you carefully follow a proper training program, you will lessen your chance of suffering an early injury or facing early discouragement. Remember, to achieve the maximum health benefit from our training program, it must be consistent and life long. Until next time, good training, good health and live long.

Focus on dairy products: helpful or harmful? by Dr. Jacques Rusinek There is considerable contro- versy on the subject of dairy products as a "healthy' food source. Many of us were raised on the belief that milk and cheeses are an essential part of the diet. We may, however, be healthier by avoiding dairy products. Some points about cow's milk AM dairy products: 1. Milk contains a very high amount of calories from fat. 2. Milk may not be a good source of calcium due to its high protein content. 3. Infants need mother's milk which contains necessary sugars and low amounts of fat. Calves need cow's milk which is very high in fat. 4. Milk may contain trace amounts of antibiotics which are given to cows to prevent the spread of infection. The antibi- otics may lead to drug resistant strains of bacteria in humans according to Dr. C. Walker, pro- fessor at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. 5. Milk and cheeses are high in linoleic acid which causes inflammation within the body and therefore may aggravate asthma, arthritis, allergies, psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions. 6. Many people lose the ability to digest milk (lactose intoler- ance) as they get older, or devel- op allergies to the milk proteins and therefore suffer from bloating and gastrointestinal pains and diarrhea. I therefore advise all my patients to restrict their dairy intake. Alternative sources of cal- cium are found in dark green leafy vegetables, tofu, salmon with bones and sardines. Calcium -magnesium supple- mentation is also advised to ensure adequate calcium levels and to prevent osteoporosis (bone thinning which affects 1 in 4 women over 50 years old). Dairy products, refined sugars and saturated fats should be elim- inated from the diet, particularly in pmsots who are suffering from arthritis and other 'inflammatory' diseases.

But lately, women are loving more than just the traditional pumps and sling backs. For the second year in a row, women outspent men on ath- letic footwear. According to a recent U.S. survey, women spent an estimated $6.2 billion on athlet- ic shoes. And what do we want? What should you look for in an athletic shoe? Comfort is key. You should also look for a firm, but not tight fit; good support in the arch and heel; and adequate padding in the forefront. Stick with name brand shoe manufacturers, such as Avia, Reebok, Nike and Ryka. Make sure you look for shoes suited to your particular sport — a tennis shoe will not be suitable for aerobics. Cross trainers are a rea- sonable compromise for those who don't want to purchase several pairs. When you are shopping for new athletic shoes, try out several brands. Do more than walk in them — run, jog, hop — give them the full treatment! 1—T� V �■� � BIZ tt ��11 PAY AS YOU GO FITNESS FITMAW Day Pass $ 5.00* Month Pass $30.00* 2 Month Pass $49.00* Buy Three Months, Get One FREE* EST 1991 OPEN 7 DAYS Mon. -Fri. 6:30am-Midnight Sat. & Sun. 8:30am - 6:00pm 1035 Brock Rd., Pickering 427-6277 *Some Restrictions Apply.
