Waterfront plan takes shape Pickering councillors push for ‘vibrant’area BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Reserving a parcel of land along Frenchman’s Bay for marina-related activities and ensuring any new developments along Liverpool Road are not strict- ly residential are key elements to a recently-revised study examining Pickering’s waterfront, says a local councillor. The City of Pickering is current- ly conducting the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review in an effort to set the guidelines for devel- opment in what’s being referred to as a Great Lakes Nautical Village. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland reports recent changes to the planning for the area will ensure the waterfront is a vi- brant neighbourhood that is people- friendly. In an interview Monday, Coun. Holland reported staff outlined sev- eral adjustments to the guidelines for the Liverpool study during a public meeting last week, including a recommendation that a parcel of land on the bay should be reserved for marina-related uses. City staff is also recommending any residential buildings along Liv- erpool Road be required to include some type of commercial facility on the lower level. “I’m ecstatic. This is a major policy shift on behalf of the plan- ning department,” said Coun. Hol- land, adding the City’s planning staff altered the guidelines for the area in response to input from the community. “Staff has listened. They worked very diligently,” Coun. Holland said. “I’m very happy with how the Cop struck, area man charged AJAX —A 19-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession of crack cocaine for trafficking after a police officer was punched Wednesday. Durham Regional Police said a man struck an officer and fled on foot while being questioned on Barnes Drive at about 3 p.m. A suspect was arrested after a foot chase. Four grams of crack and cash were seized. Kennado Walker, 19, of Angus Drive, is charged with assaulting a police officer, breach of probation and pos- session of a controlled sub- stance for the purpose of traf- ficking. He was held in custody pending a bail hearing. Room to reduce tax bite? Brenner calls for relief BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering could offset the impact of what’s expected to be almost a double- digit tax increase this year by using additional revenues to provide some relief, says a City councillor. Council will give final consider- ation to the City’s 2001 capital and operating budgets Tuesday night, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner says the City could avert the projected 9.8-per cent increase this year if council chooses to direct almost $600,000 in additional revenues to the operat- ing budget. “There is the potential to inject $583,000 in revenue... which would have a direct impact on taxes,” he said in an interview Tuesday, noting if that amount is applied to the op- erating budget it could reduce the expected tax increase to eight per See BUDGET page 4 See LIVERPOOL page 4 Steam Up & Opening May 26 & 27 Pickering Museum 905-683-8401 Two Great Places!

A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 18, 2001 DURHAM ––Higher fuel costs have prompted the Durham Catholic District School Board to increase the travel reimbursement rate for staff. At Monday’s board meeting, trustees approved raising the rate by two cents per kilometre to 34 cents. In a report to trustees, business su- perintendent David Visser said the pre- vious rate has been in effect for two years when the cost of gasoline was about 54 cents per litre. In recent months, he stated, gas prices have ranged from 66 cents to 79 cents, and sometimes over 80 cents. Mr. Visser said he followed the Canadian Automobile Association methodology in setting the new rate, effective June 1. Durham board interviews candidates from Maritimes, U.S. BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The Catholic school board here has hired 73 teachers for the fall and may not require any more educators. John Vesters, human re- sources superintendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, told trustees at Monday’s board meeting that an ambitious recruitment campaign led to the success- ful effort. The board visited 13 fac- ulties of education in On- tario, the Maritimes and New York State, received 677 ap- plications and interviewed 172 applicants. Of the 73 po- sitions offered and accepted, 36 are at the secondary level. Roughly 11 of the new employees will work in the area of French as a second language/French immersion, one of the most in-demand subject areas. Education director Grant Andrews said it’s unknown how many teachers the board will require. “We’re still struggling with that; we may be pretty close to our limit,” he said. Considering the board is operating in a period where there is a worldwide teacher shortage, Mr. Andrews said a combination of aggressive recruiting and the attractive- ness of Durham as a place to live resulted in the interest in working here. “We’ve had a very good choice,” he said. “We’re tak- ing just a little over one in 10, which I think reflects pretty well on our school system.” Mr. Vesters said assem- bling a pool of long-term oc- casional teachers remains a challenge for all school boards. With a teachers’ shortage, he noted, “those who want to teach, by and large, have found a job,” leaving fewer teachers avail- able to cover sick and mater- nity leaves. “It’s harder and harder to find people to do that partic- ular job,” said Mr. Vesters. The board has had to turn to retired and uncertified teachers as the pool of quali- fied teachers dries up, he said.

Holland said he had re- ceived a lot of feedback from com- munity members, who were con- cerned develop- ment along Frenchman’s Bay could limit the marina activities in the area. And, he main- tained the revi- sions staff has made to the study guidelines will protect that land by ensuring it is reserved for mari- na uses. Coun. Holland also reported staff is recommending an alternate route for the waterfront trail. He reports the City had original- ly envisioned the trail being built along the edge of Frenchman’s Bay connecting the ‘Millennium Square’ to Front Street Park. However, it’s now being recom- mended that the trail be constructed north along Liverpool Road from the square to Annland Street, west to Front Street and then along to the park. “There are too many landowner issues,” Coun. Holland said of the reason for the new route, adding community members were con- cerned fill from the bay would be the only way the trail could be con- structed along the edge of the bay. Coun. Holland also reports the target date for the study’s comple- tion and council consideration is the end of June. He said, however, that date may be pushed back until Sep- tember in an effort to continue working with landowners in the area. Liverpool plan undergoes some revision by City P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 18, 2001 LIVERPOOL from page 1 Budget vote on Tuesday cent. Coun. Brenner reports the addi- tional money is a result of a partial debt payment from the City’s outstanding Con- federation Life account, in- creased revenues paid to the City through arrears penalties and in- creased revenues from Pickering’s share of the Provincial Of- fences Act rev- enues, which are divided among the Region and its eight member municipalities. He maintained that money should be applied to the operating side of the budget, but says it’s cur- rently accounted for under the cap- ital budget. “I’m very dis- appointed in terms of why we went that route,” he said, noting that money could “cushion” the blow for taxpay- ers.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 18, 2001 PAGE 5 A/P P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 18, 2001 Safe drivers left to deal with lane change To the editor: I travelled the ‘new’Hwy. 401 a few days ago. It wasn’t rush hour, but there was cer- tainly plenty of traffic... except in the ‘new left speeding’ lane. The police had an- nounced a crackdown on motorists who im- pede traffic flow in the left lane, regardless of the maximum speed limit. Let’s take a look at this picture. You can drive at the legal maximum speed in the middle and right lanes without concerning yourself of any parade of vehicles behind. When you find yourself in the left speeding lane, you must maintain a speed that the person behind you dictates or move to the right if you can find a spot. The police, in their wisdom have created a two-lane high- way out of a three-lane highway. The third lane is now designated for speeders who may be suffering from road rage. What a terrific concept! Give one-third of the highway to these jerks who get frus- trated doing the maximum speed limit and encourage an even more dangerous situa- tion, a much greater speed differential among lanes. I am not exaggerating. The day I was on the 401 — across the top of Toronto — more than 80 per cent of the traffic shared the middle and right lanes only. The middle lane was travelling 20 kilometres over the posted speed limit and most motorists who ventured into the speeding lane weren’t there too long, lest they find a speeder be- hind them or maybe a cruiser. Charging motorists for doing the maxi- mum speed limit in the left lane is an ab- solute asinine solution for addressing the few motorists who refuse to travel at the posted speed limit.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Buried in the news of a new Durham University and the pledge to extend Hwy. 407 all the way to Hwy. 35/115, was a gratifying recommitment by the Province to back ITER. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER as it is better known, is the multibillion-dollar nuclear fusion research site, proposed adjacent to the Darlington Nu- clear Generating Station. The Ontario government realizes the tremendous impor- tance of ITER for the province. As a result, Premier Mike Har- ris has promised funding of $10 million per year over 30 years for a guaranteed commitment of $300 million over the life of the three-decades project. The Province is on board because Canada faces stiff com- petition for the ITER site from bids from Japan and France. And those countries have the financial support of their own governments. No promises have been sought by ITER partners for fund- ing from Ottawa, but that didn’t stop Durham MP Alex Shep- herd from trying to douse the enthusiasm and momentum for ITER. Calling the provincial funding commitment and a call by the premier for the feds to financially support the bid, “not par- ticularly helpful”, Mr. Shepherd cast a shade of doubt over ITER. “The government has learned bad lessons on big science projects. They tend to become open-ended and no one can put a cap on how much they will cost,” he said. However, ITER backers point out private-public partner- ships have already been established and the feds will not be asked to pay into the project once construction begins. What’s upsetting is that ITER needs all the federal help it can get. What it doesn’t need is the local federal representative hedging his bets or sounding lukewarm about the project. The push to develop nuclear fusion, a much safer, more en- vironmentally friendly alternative to nuclear fission, has been ongoing for decades. For many, it’s the answer to the dwindling sources of oil, gas and coal that surely will not support the exploding world population of the 21st century. Canadians can be at the forefront of this wave of the future. And it’s not just sentiment that drives the bid. Thousands of long-term, high-paying, high-tech jobs will be created and the firm of Ernst and Young has estimated the project will gener- ate more than $6 billion in economic benefits over the life of the project. How can we lose? Mr. Shepherd should be leading the cheers in Ottawa. Lukewarm support casts shadow on ITER With other countries backing own bids, time for feds to do the same for Clarington My shoelaces are driving me nuts. I just bought new running shoes and the laces are nylon and round. Those suckers never stay tied up. After nagging the kids for years to “tie up your laces, you’ll fall and break your neck,” I find I am trip- ping over my own feet. So I went off to the store to buy the old-fashioned, flat, white, cot- ton ones. I looked through the round display rack and all white sport laces were round and nylon and slippery. The owner had to get the flat ones from a box behind the counter. I felt like I was buying a dirty magazine. No thanks, I don’t need a bag, I’ll just slip it into my purse. Sheesh. As a child, my laces used to get into arthritic knots and I would break into a sweat trying to undo them or resort to cutting out the knot with a pair of scissors. I would ask my mother to help me and she always seemed to have the knack. Mothers are good for stuff like picking burdocks out of laces and getting chewing gum out of hair. Now that I am a mom, I know these things through experience, books, talking to other parents and listening. My friend Abdul remem- bers this saying from his high school days back home: “It takes a man, to make a man.” I want to be that example for my daughter. In the past, I have had a habit of finishing my husband’s sentences. Now that is really rude since it shows I am not listening. Our church is offering a 12-week course that focuses on listening skills. There are 12 rules, such as no preaching, no rescuing, no filling in lengthy silences, no fixing. In each session, we get a case history. We form triads to role-play situations and there is a talker, a listener and an observer. The feedback from the observer and then from the other two charac- ters is very revealing. It’s stressful. It’s challenging. It can be fun. Sometimes, it’s boring. Listening is the hardest thing I have ever done. It is also very rewarding and I am looking forward to graduation. I also learned the value of exer- cise for handling stress. I need to go for a walk at least three times per week, more often, if I’ve done a lot of listening. Now where did I put those shoelaces? Listen up because you’ll be better off for it Knot a lot of life lessons can be learned if you don’t stop talking long enough to listen Ada Larock Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Large in- dustrial taxpayers in Durham are looking to the Region to provide some relief to com- panies like General Motors, which claims it has been overtaxed for years. Miriam Christie, manager of government relations for General Motors of Canada Ltd., was on hand at the Re- gion’s finance and adminis- tration committee meeting Wednesday to ask council- lors to lower the large indus- trial tax rates here so big businesses in Durham can become more competitive with industries in other re- gions. “The large industrial (tax rates) are too high... we real- ly need some action,” said Ms. Christie, representing the Durham Large Industrial Alliance, which includes GM, Dupont Canada Inc., Messier-Dowty, Blue Circle Cement, Goodyear Canada Inc., PPG Canada Inc., and Co-Steel Inc. “We have been overtaxed for years... it’s just not equi- table,” she added, noting if the Region wants to retain and attract industry, Durham “needs to have much more attractive rates”. Ms. Christie reported GM is one of the largest taxpayers in Ontario and, she noted the large industrial tax rates paid by General Motors in Os- hawa are 90-per cent higher than what DaimlerChrysler pays for its mid-size plant in Brampton, 69-per cent high- er than what Ford pays for its truck plant in Oakville, 54- per cent higher than Honda pays for its car plant in Allis- ton and 29-per cent higher than Toyota pays for its plant in Cambridge. “The reality is people won’t pay more for a product just because it’s built in Os- hawa,” Ms. Christie said. “We have to be cost compet- itive.” The large industrial tax rate in Durham is 9.51 com- pared to 5.01 in Brampton and 5.63 in Oakville, she noted. Ms. Christie told council- lors the Region continues to “penalize” large industrial taxpayers by recommending the continuation of the large industrial class, a tax class that does not exist in all juris- dictions. She also noted, “Durham has not done anything sub- stantive to make the tax rates for large industrials more competitive (over the past four years). What we’ve con- tinued to ask for, all along, is a strategic plan. We need to have some kind of plan in place to get us down... we have lost four years.” Ms. Christie urged the committee to use the general levy rate-stabilization fund to finance capping in large in- dustrial and industrial class- es, which would allow tax- payers who have “long over- paid to receive the tax reduc- tions they are entitled to under current value assess- ment. “I’m asking you to make some decisions that will lower our tax rates for the 2001 year,” she told the com- mittee. Finance commissioner Jim Clapp, however, reported it isn’t likely there will be any changes this year. He said the Region in- tends to develop a long-term strategy to address the large industrial tax rates, but main- tained the Region can’t just deal with one class during that review. Mr. Clapp reported the Region would set its 2001 tax rates May 23.

Hiring staff. Communicating with the high schools. Develop- ing programs and curricula. Erecting buildings. Awesome. But not daunting. “I can see our team having to work around the clock for the next two-and-a-half years, and who knows after that,” says the Durham College president. “But we’re not deterred by that; we knew that going in, and frankly we’re honoured.” Durham College plans to open the Ontario Institute of Technolo- gy (OIT), the region’s first uni- versity, in September 2003. It all became possible thanks to $60 million announced last Wednes- day in the provincial budget. The first university students will walk through the doors of four new academic buildings that will open in 2003 thanks in part to last year’s $28.75 million in provincial SuperBuild funding, mainly for college expansion. “They will be large enough to house the first year or two of uni- versity enrolment,” says Mr. Polonsky. “No later than Septem- ber 2005 we would need (a sepa- rate) university building to cer- tainly be opened, and maybe as early as 2004.” The university building and the new library, which may be joined, will be built immediately north of the college’s Willey Building at the Oshawa campus at Simcoe and Conlin roads. Uni- versity expansion will continue northward, eventually crossing Conlin. Mr. Polonsky says the $60 million will translate into roughly 150,000 square feet of space. He offers a rough schedule for erect- ing the first university buildings, noting everything will be open- tendered. First, there will be an architect tender this fall, with a choice by around Thanksgiving Day. Then, a year of work by the architect will take the schedule to next fall. A builder will likely be chosen by Remembrance Day 2002. Actual construction probably won’t begin until April 2003. Mr. Polonsky estimates it will take another year-and-a-half to finish the work, and then pauses: Maybe two-and-a-half years. “I’m hedging because I’ve never been part of planning a uni- versity before,” he says. He will have help, of course, and not just from his own staff. Mr. Polonsky says within a day of receiving the good news, he had already spoken with four univer- sity leaders who offered their as- sistance. “I think we’ll be pretty quick studies,” he says. “I’ve got lots of pretty smart people working here.” OIT, Mr. Polonsky stresses, is a bona fide university, not a hy- phenated university or a poly- technic university. The plan is to open with eight start-up schools, each with one program: advanced manufacturing, nuclear technolo- gy and safety, business and infor- mation technology, health, polic- ing and justice and a faculty of education. The remaining schools are of applied arts and applied sciences. “These (last) two in particular will be top-off degree programs for college graduates,” says Mr. Polonsky, using, as an example, a college journalism graduate who wants to go the next step and get a university degree. “We will guarantee credit recognition for their diploma as long as they have a certain aver- age, and then they can enter the university and end up getting their combined diploma and de- gree in four years.” Mr. Polonsky on the community’s influence on the University decision... ‘I’m told it was the most massive input that the government had heard on any issue.’ OIT also plans to offer guaran- tees. A ‘Durham Opportunity Outreach Success’(DOORS) pro- gram will be introduced, with two features, one for high school stu- dents and one for OIT students. Under certain circumstances, admission to OIT will be guaran- teed for high school students. “If they take certain courses and get a certain average and give something back to the college or community, we will guarantee them admission to OIT,” he says, noting giving something back means a volunteer component. For OIT students, there will be a ‘student success contract guar- antee’. If students attend classes, hand in assignments on time, get extra help when they require it and do their best, graduation will be guaranteed, no matter how long it takes. “That may not be of interest to a 98-average person, but it may be of interest to someone with a 68 average or a 78 average,” he says. Mr. Polonsky says all this planning didn’t happen overnight, including discussions with the provincial government, which have been going on for years. The real opportunity came last December, when the Province called on colleges to come forward with a new vision for delivering education. Durham College retained Pricewater- houseCoopers for the big push. “We knew, as every college knew, this was our chance to reach the Promised Land,” says Mr. Polonsky. The end result was a world- class business plan contained in hundreds of pages that measured about six-and-a-half inches thick in three volumes. Mr. Polonsky says Dianne Cunningham, minister of train- ing, colleges and universities, and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, and their staff members, were “fantastic” to work with. And the university couldn’t have hap- pened without the support of local MPPs, “backbenchers and cabinet ministers alike. “At the end of the day it’s the cabinet that makes the decision,” he says. “Jim (Flaherty) and Janet (Ecker) and Chris (Hodgson, minister of municipal affairs and housing) must have really stood tall to bring this one off.” And without question, says Mr. Polonsky, Premier Mike Har- ris’s support was essential. But, first and foremost, he pays tribute to his “team” at Durham College. Mr. Polonsky says, “Every staff member has been a part of this indirectly if not directly.” He says that includes students, alumni, the board of governors and everyone in the DC family. Mr. Polonsky says local politi- cians and the community as a whole deserve thanks for their work in pushing the university bid over the top. When he initiated a letter cam- paign calling on residents to write their MPPs, there was a big re- sponse. “I’m told it was the most mas- sive input that the government had heard on any issue,” he says. And while that surely turned heads in the Harris government, Mr. Polonsky says the university funding was by no means a sure thing. Most people believe the case for a Durham university was so compelling it had to happen, he says. But with so many demands on the Province, so many regions and never enough dollars to go around, it was still a long shot. “This is an improbable thing that has happened, which most citizens of Durham Region don’t appreciate,” says Mr. Polonsky.

A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 18, 2001 The distracted driver is a menace on our roads turned on at full volume. However, it is with the advent of car manufacturers including more and more technologically advanced options in vehicles such as Global Positioning Systems, phones and computers, that the public must be made aware of the dangers of not keeping their minds on the road. The Canada Safety Council’s annual “National Road Safety Week” will be held from May 18-24. The theme this year will focus on the “The Distracted Driver.” This includes not only the technological distractions while driving, but also the other areas of concern such as eating, drinking or having the radio being For more than a decade now, “National Road Safety Week” has offered the opportunity to implement many safety related initiatives such as the National Safety Code or the increased use of child restraints. This year, there will be a distribution of pamphlets, information kits, press releases and videos on a national level that will focus on driver distractions and how to avoid them. There will also be more information on the increasingly severe penalties for accidents caused through negligence or unnecessary distractions as well as the changes in policy with the renewed demands of banning the use of hand held cell phones while driving. Road collisions kill almost 3,000 Canadians annually and injure thousands more - many in the prime of life. These injuries drain billions of dollars out of the health care system not to mention the tremendous toll placed on families. It’s food for thought the next time a driver decides to use a hand-held cell phone to see what’s for dinner. manufacturers have created different styles and colors such as red, orange or yellow. Life saving cushions are no longer acceptable as safety equipment and children are especially encouraged to wear a flotation device whenever in a boat. By law, all boats must be equipped with a safety flotation device for each person on board. More than twice as many Canadian households now own pleasure boats than backyard swimming pools. Every year, recreational boats are involved in half of all federal search and rescue incidents, resulting in more than 6,000 accidents and 200 unnecessary fatalities. This has led to substantial changes in boating regulations such as implementing a minimum age for operating a personal watercraft and proof of operator competency. The Canadian Coast Guard and boating community partners are encouraging boaters to evaluate their capabilities and limits before heading out onto the waterways. Some of the activities during “Safe Boating Week” will include a media blitz and students promoting boating safety while “walking the docks.” The theme for this year’s Safe Boating Week will be “Boat Smart, From the Start.” The event takes place from May 19-25 and will focus on the use of safety flotation devices. This will be a North American Campaign with the National Safe Boating Council partnering with the Canadian Safe Boating Council, the Canadian Coast Guard, flotation manufacturers and the boating industry. All these organizations are working towards improving the usage of Personal Flotation Devices (PFD). To better market these items, Personal Flotation Devices now come in a variety of styles and colors Quick facts: - Road crashes are the leading cause of death among teens. - Males account for 87% of the young fatally injured drinking drivers; 88% of those of whom were legally impaired - Young drinking drivers are most likely to be killed (32.4%) or injured (40.8%) in the summer months. (Winter months are 8.0% and 11.4% respectively) - A large percentage of young drinking drivers die (55%) or are seriously injured (49.8%) on the week ends. - The vast majority of young drinking drivers die (74%) or are seriously injured (86%) in crashes at night.

The program encourages members of the public to call 911 when they observe a suspected drunk driver. Durham joins 48 other com- munities in Ontario in the stepped-up fight against drinking and driving. With representatives of various drunk driving vic- tims’groups looking on out- side Durham Regional Headquarters in Whitby, Re- gional Chairman Roger An- derson placed the first call from the back of a Durham Regional Police traffic man- agement unit van. “Impaired driving is a crime in progress and we need to treat it as such,” said Mr. Anderson. “Often it’s the people in the other vehi- cle — children, parents, brothers and sisters — who suffer from this irresponsi- ble, criminal behaviour. It’s the worst crime one can bring on a family.” According to Edie New- ton, executive director of Canadians for Safe and Sober Driving, the organiza- tion that designed the pro- gram, impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death in the country. “Today 4.5 people will die and over 100 seriously injured in crashes involving impaired drivers,” she said. “Operation Lookout has proven to be effective wher- ever it’s been used.” When calling 911 to re- port an impaired driver, callers are asked to state the driver’s location, provide a vehicle description includ- ing the licence plate num- ber, colour of the vehicle, the make and model of the vehicle, the direction the ve- hicle is travelling, and a de- scription of the driver, if possible. “With all the cellphones in use, it will be a deterrent,” said Sgt. Paul Malik from Durham Regional Police. “You are reporting a crime in progress and the police will respond accordingly. It will be treated as a high pri- ority.” Sgt. Malik cautioned that spotters should pull over to the side of the road before making the call.

That means it’s time to get off the couch, go outside and be active. That’s exactly what the ‘SummerAc- tive’ campaign launched on May 11, is trying to encourage. The campaign theme, ‘Try it’, encourages Durham res- idents to join in and take the first step to- wards making physical activity a part of their daily lives. SummerActive is presented by the Durham Region Health Department in co-operation with the Ontario Physical Health and Education Association, and Parks and Recreation Ontario among other recreation, health, sport and phys- ical activity leaders in Ontario. One goal of SummerActive is to get individuals who are less active to partic- ipate in this year’s campaign. “We want to encourage all sectors — recreation, health, sport, workplaces and others — to work together to pro- mote physical activity opportunities in their communities,” said Larry Ketche- son, chief executive officer for Parks and Recreation Ontario. The campaign is part of the Active Ontario provincial campaign, an initia- tive between the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. The following is a list of free activities for participants that will be held in Durham Region: • May 19: Swimming, 1:30 to 4 p.m., Whitby Recreation Complex Pool; • June 2: Adventure on wheels, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Ajax Waterfront Trail to Rotary Park; • June 2: Oshawa community walk, call City of Oshawa for de- tails, 905-436-3891; and • June 15: Open gym day, 5:30 to 11 p.m., Whitby Civic Recre- ation Complex, health club (partic- ipants must be at least 18-years- old). The campaign runs from May 12 to June 22 and Durham resi- dents can participate in individual and group activities. Registering on the Internet at www.summerac- tive.canoe.ca and be eligible for prizes. There are five daily prizes from the Sun and Foot Locker Na- tional Contest and six grand prizes.

Held in Kitchener, the contest tested more than 700 students in 40 different technological compe- titions, each of which lasted up to six hours. “It’s very tough,” said Al Ben- der, co-ordinator of both the Durham Skills Team and The Ca- reer Academy for Hire Education at Central Collegiate Institute in Oshawa. He noted industry professionals set the technical scope and criteria for every competition, and judges are recognized leaders in their field. Of the 15 local high school stu- dents who represented Durham, eight came home with medals. Peter Miljanovic and Neil Hunt, both from Anderson Collegiate & Vocational Institute in Whitby, came home with gold in the Inter- net Web page design/team compe- tition. They are now eligible to take part in the Canadian Skills Competition in Edmonton at the end of the month. Brine Hamilton of Central and Pickering’s Christopher Dopson, a Dunbarton High School student, also came out on top, taking gold in cable networking/team. Mr. Bender said there is not yet a na- tional competition for their event. Also in that competition, Christopher Clowes, representing Central CI, and Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School student Sean Mooney took the bronze medal. Central student Natasha Facchi- ni won the silver medal in ladies’ hairstyling/individual. Christina Haley from Central left with more than just a bronze medal in culinary arts-cooking/in- dividual. Mr. Bender reports her culinary skills so impressed a vis- iting chef de cuisine, he offered her an apprenticeship job in his kitchen at a Peterborough-area golf and country club. Durham College students wired for national success DURHAM — Three Durham College stu- dents are tops in Ontario when it comes to tech- nology. Ralph Trauzzi, James Elliot, and Adam Bullock were all medal winners at the 12th Annual Ontario Tech- nological skills competition in Kitchener. Mr. Trauzzi, who earned a silver last year, captured gold in the industrial wiring competi- tion, while Mr. Elliot earned gold in the plumbing com- petition. Mr. Bullock finished up in second to earn a silver medal in the event’s welding compe- tition. As a result of their golds, both Mr. Trauzzi and Mr. Elliot earned spots at the Canadian competition in Edmonton. The competi- tion attracted more than 750 students from across Ontario and consisted of more than 40 categories in- cluding net- work, cabling, carpentry and precision ma- chining.

Your mind quickly fig- ures that “there is room in my garden for a stan- dard”. Standards are quite simply a single trunked specimen with a top- grafted shrub - the trunk only grows in diameter not height and width. Standards are ideal for numerous gardening and landscaping areas, as their growing habits are fairly predictable, they leave room for underplantings of colourful annuals or low-growing ever- greens, and there is a wide selection of both flowering and non flow- ering types. Flowering Standards include: lilac, almond, viburnum, and rose of sharon. For deli- cate pink spring blooms choose the almond; lilacs include “Little Miss Kim” and “Dappled Dawn” in shades of lavender, “Marie Francis” and “Superba” in pinks and a weeping lilac standard “Hers”. A viburnum stan- dard will provide not only “snowball” clus- ters in spring but will also fill the air with an intense, spicy fragrance. For late summer and early fall blooms chose a Rose of Sharon standard - cultivars include “Blue Bird” (single, violet-blue), “Diana” (single, white), Lady Stanley (double, pink), and Hamabo (sin- gle, pale pink with red center). Two of the most popular standards are the weeping mulberry and weeping caragana (or peashrub) which provide attractive foliage as well as adding a different form into the garden with their long, graceful, weeping branches which can be Janice J. Donelle Horticulturist Pine Ridge Garden Gallery ADVERTISING FEATURE maintained at any length. For an evergreen standard the choices include the blue hues of “Blue Star” Juniper and “Globe Blue” spruce; yellow tones of “Old Gold” juniper or the deep greens of white pine. Standards of all styles are readily avail- able at Pineridge Garden Gallery, so take the time to visit and see if the perfect solution for your landscape design problem area is a flowering or non-flow- ering standard.

Angela Falconeri is five years old, still in diapers, can only put together one or two word sentences and has already been through brain surgery. The little girl was born with cran- iosynostosis, meaning some of the plates in her brain fused pre- maturely causing her brain to develop smaller then other chil- dren, and also stopping some of the neurological connections that usually happen at birth. Now the little girl’s father, Peter Falconeri, a single dad, has quit his job and devoted his life to raising his little girl and trying to get her the specialized treatment she needs. “We’re hoping for a mira- cle,” said Mr. Falconeri, of the hyperbaric oxygen and conduc- tive treatments, which are not covered by OHIP or medical in- surance because they are still in the research stages. Mr. Falconeri has found a treatment centre called ‘Ability Camp’ in Trenton, Ont. that is willing to take Angela in for the necessary treatment, but the family does not have enough money to cover the $10,000 cost. In an effort to raise funds, the ‘To Help An Angel - Rock Festival to Benefit a Little Girl’ is being held at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club’s curling rink Saturday, May 26, begin- ning at 9 p.m. Goddo, Santers, The Kings, Harem Scarem and Brian Vollmer of Helix will perform free of charge. There will also be a silent auction featuring a number of items, including a guitar signed by Angus Young of rock band AC/DC. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. They are avail- able at Déjà vu Disc stores in Durham and Scarborough, in- cluding the Ajax location at 75 Bayly St., and at Indian Motor- cycle at 287 Dean Ave. in Os- hawa. Anyone wishing to donate products or services for the silent action or money towards Angela’s cause can call her fa- ther at 905-431-0148. Little ‘angel’ the focus of Ajax fund-raiser Whitevale plans fun, festivities next weekend PICKERING ––The quiet community of Whitevale is throwing its annual party and once again, you’re invited.

Beginning at 8 a.m. and run- ning throughout the day, the event will be mostly held around the community centre located at 392 Whitevale Rd. Bus transport between the festival, Pickering Art Fest and the Pickering Museum Village will also be available. All proceeds will go to the community’s efforts to environ- mentally protect and preserve Whitevale. Whitevale is along Conces- sion 5, west of Brock Road in north Pickering.

Dancers from Cynthia’s Cre- ative Dance Arts in Pickering earned numerous first-place fin- ishes and other awards at the re- cent 5-6-7-8 Showtime competi- tion held recently in Niagara Falls. In the petite category, the tap and jazz combination of Melissa Banyard, Chantalle Christofo- ratos, Melissa Craig, Alexa Cr- erar, Dominique Gemmiti and Dana Murphy finished first. Christoforatos also earned first- place honours for her solo jazz performance, while Craig and Murphy took first for their tap duet. In the minis category, Heather Colombus, Brie Crerar, Ashley Farrell, Kirstin Kuksis, Jennifer Leigh, Nicole McPhail and Jen- nifer Yuen combined to finish first in tap and second in jazz. Colombus and Farrell also scored top marks for their jazz duet, and earned an overall performance duet/trio award in the 12-and- under category. McPhail and Yeun joined Colombus to earn a first place win in the tap trio category. Again, the group’s performance won them an overall performance duet/trio award. In pre-juniors, Jessica Domin- go, Catherine Hsu, Lauren Langille, Danielle McPhail, Jes- sica Murphy, Meagan Papizews- ki, Shannon Todd and Cristina Yuen combined to finish in a three-way tie for highest overall performance group in both the jazz and tap categories, along with placing first for both of those dances. Yuen won first-place rankings in her jazz, tap, and musical the- atre solos, along with being the first runner-up for the dancer of the year award. Also placing in the top 10 for dancer of the year was Langille, who took first place for her ballet and lyrical solos. Domingo finished second in her jazz solo, teamed with Langille to finish first in their lyrical duet, and that duo joined up with Papizewski to place sec- ond in jazz trio. Hsu, Todd and Yuen finished first place in jazz trio and also earned the highest overall perfor- mance duet/trio award. On their own, Hsu finished third for her jazz solo and Todd placed second for her musical theatre solo. In juniors, Tara Carpino, Leigh Frudiger, Krista Lantz, Caitlin Murray, Andrea Tomlin, Alexan- dra VanSteen and Melissa Vani finished first for their jazz perfor- mance and second place in tap. Frudiger was the big winner in the group, taking first place for her jazz and lyrical solos, second for her hip hop solo and ranking in the top 10 for dancer of the year. Frudiger and Murray brought home first place for their lyrical duet and joined with Carpino to take first in the hip hop trio. Carpino also won first the hip- hop solo competition.

SURVIVOR KARAOKE TUES., MAY 29TH Klondike Food Rush Strikes Gold in Ajax The call to an expanding Ajax struck a cord much as did the call to the Klondike some one hundred years earlier for tens of thousands of hopeful pioneers. Was it blind faith and a determination against all odds, or a calculated journey to what was surely to be a boom-town experience? One can only imagine the trek east for brothers Tom and Nick Palantzas who, during the winter of ‘97, were to be confronted by a now familiar spectacle of ever-expanding chain stores and franchises bearing Sacramento business addresses in beaver pelt clothing. Klondike Food Rush is very much a homegrown product with a penchant for hearty meals and top quality foods and service. Its claim is now well-rooted in the community with major sponsorship of local hockey and other sports teams, as well as numerous charity and community events throughout the year. “We much prefer contributing directly to our community,” asserts Tom, “and actually feel a part of its maturing complexion.” Such an approach also characterizes their response to customer demand as reflected in the publication of their most recent menu. “Quite regularly during the course of our daily business,” offers Nick, “we will introduce new items as feature meals. All customer feedback is imperative to the continuous fine tuning of our food item selection.” This is made possible, after all, because of the independent nature of the operation and all patrons benefit from the flexibility this affords when ordering. This bodes well for the business community in the region as well. Are you always looking for a great lunch selection at reasonable prices? The Klondike provides for group bookings with a separate mezzanine level that accommodates about seventy seated diners and even more persons when standing room is required. This section has become most popular for business meetings, luncheons, office parties of all types, retirements, networking and other wine & cheese events. Make sure to book your company event well in advance, particularly during peak holiday seasons, simply by calling IAM-RUSH, that’s 426-7874. Yet accommodation and versatility doesn’t stop there. You will actually be encouraged to custom-build your group’s menu. “Whether it’s a sit-down dinner, buffet, platter selection, or light appetizers,” Nick continues, “the Klondike kitchen thrives on the challenge of differing tastes and likes, whatever the budget.” And let’s talk about quality and selection. Klondike Food Rush has quickly gained a reputation for being a premier rib and steak house. Racks and racks of pork and beef ribs are smoked in-house using hickory wood. The steak selection ranges from an 8oz. N.Y. striploin, 10oz. rib-eye, 16oz. T-bone, to a 24oz. porterhouse. The 12oz. prime rib dinner is a permanent fixture every Friday night. Smoked beef brisket rounds out the beef lover’s picks, all of which are graded AAA and carefully aged for optimal tenderness. With over 100 menu items to choose from, rest assured that most every taste will very likely be addressed. In addition to the vast rib and steak selection, one must consider the juicy bro-tisserie chicken, perhaps an innovative pasta creation, the various pita wraps, or unbeatable fajitas. And of course, neither kids nor vegetarians need search very hard for an excellent choice of dishes. Klondike Food Rush - eh Canadian Cook-out is a tried and true model of quality, service, comfort, satisfaction, and value. It is located just south of the 401 in Transit Square at 100 Westney Rd. S. in Ajax, with its doors open every day at 11:00 am. FREE With the purchase of another of equal or greater value. Please present Coupon when ordering. Valid until May 31/01.

Once upon a time in a far away swamp, there lived an ornery ogre named Shrek (Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an in- vasion of annoying fairy-tale characters. There are blind mice in his food, a big, bad wolf in his bed, three little homeless pigs and more, all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Far- quaad (Lithgow). Determined to save their home — not to mention his own — Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona (Diaz) to be Farquaad’s bride. Accompanying him on his mission is a wisecracking Donkey (Murphy), who will do anything for Shrek... except shut up. Rescuing the princess from a fire- breathing dragon may prove the least of their problems when the deep, dark se- cret she has been keeping is revealed. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Famous Players Pickering 8 - Picker- ing Town Centre). ANGEL EYES Starring Jennifer Lopez, Jim Caviezel, Terrence Howard. Chicago police officer Sharon Pogue (Lopez) is an excellent cop. Assigned to a high-crime district in the south side of Chicago, her job puts her into danger on a daily basis — arresting drug dealers, confronting armed criminals, breaking up fights. Somewhere in the same neigh- bourhood a man who goes by the name of Catch (Caviezel) is living his own half-life. While pursuing a suspect one night, Pogue nearly becomes the victim of a fatal ambush until a mysterious stranger, Catch, intervenes, disarms the assassin and saves Sharon’s life. A stroke of luck? A twist of fate? Maybe. But Sharon and Catch have met once before. As the two fall in love, they discover the truth about each other.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU Name tags make a person accountable for their work but have always presented problems. Have you ever addressed the person serving you by the name on the name tag and received a grin or the answer that they borrowed someone else’s name tag? Some forget their name tag or don’t wear one at all. Some name tags are so worn out or faded that you can’t even see the name on the tag. Their were some other problems we faced at our store. I once promised myself that if the Lord ever opened the door for us to operate a Dairy Queen that my staff would be absolutely immaculate. In the old days I’d go into a Dairy Queen with the store packed and all the servers would be covered from head to foot with a combination of soft serve splatters mixed in with chocolate sauce. Therefore we keep at least 60 aprons ready on hand at any time. We have our own washer and dryer and our staff can change their aprons ten times per shift if they wish. This presented another problem because our store is so busy and it was hard for them to undo their name tag, change the aprons and then pin them back on. Not only that but they too would sometimes forget their name tags and the tags also began to look worn. Our solution was to have their names embroidered on the right sleeve of each one of their shirts. Although the blue oxford shirts that our staff wear are made and embroidered in Canada we wanted a local Pickering operator to embroider the name on the sleeves. We went to the Durham White pages and found a local operator in Pickering called Gloria’s Personalized Monogramming. We asked Gloria to give us some samples that would match the standard Dairy Queen font. Her work was beautiful and her service was excellent. Now when you come into our store you will always know the first name of any front counter staff by the name embroidered on the sleeve. Or some will have the name Shift Leader embroidered above their first name. The top job at our store is of course our Managers. All ten of our managers wear the white shirts with their first name on it. Our managers are the cream of the crop. All began working on the front counter, in brazier and in the cake department before being promoted. Hope you enjoyed this article. Enjoy the coupon! Your patronage is always deeply appreciated.

Now it’s even better. This spring the Route of the Hiawatha Trail in north Idaho celebrates the opening of the 1.7-mile long Taft Tunnel. Anyone who can ride a bike can enjoy this spectacular trail along mountains and through tunnels and over trestles that span thousand-foot ravines as it winds through the Loop Creek Valley in the Idaho panhan- dle. The opening of the Taft Tunnel makes the trail 15 miles long with a new parking lot lo- cated at the east portal of the tunnel just two miles off I-90 at Taft, Montana. The Route of the Hiawatha Trial follows the old Milwaukee Railroad line, dropping 1,000 vertical feet to the Pearson Trailhead, northeast of Avery, Idaho. The Milwaukee Railroad was the last major transcontinental railroad, connecting Chicago to Seattle. It took two years, from 1907 to 1909, to build the section through the mountains and over the deep ravines. Competition from southerly routes, the nation’s worst forest fire in 1910 and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, spelled doom for the Mil- waukee Railroad. Until the Taft Tunnel Preservation Soci- ety was formed in 1992, the future of this engineering marvel was in doubt. The project captured the imagination of hundreds of volunteers and organizations. After a series of closures and debate over safety issues, the U.S. federal government started providing funds for improvements on the trail in 1995. Some have described their experiences on the trail as being like walking or riding on top of the world. Bike rentals are available at the Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area and in the city of Wallace.

Inspired by Durham police Sergeant John Keatings, who is cy- cling across the United States to raise awareness for autism research, Dunbar teacher Emmanouela Dimas thought local students could help as well. On April 27, the school held Loonie for Autism Day, and chal- lenged other schools to do the same. Dunbar students raised $601 dol- lars, and then set their sights on a May 5 autism walk-a-thon. Parent volunteer Bonnie McPhail, who together with Ms. Dimas organized the fund-raisers, said she was hoping to raise be- tween $3,000 and $4,000. But the walk attracted between 300 and 350 people and exceeded expectations, with money still coming in. “We were thrilled,” said Ms. McPhail. “We had a great day. It was really good to see the whole community come out.” In fact, she said organizers have already decided to hold the walk an- nually and to try and make it even bigger. “We’ve already chosen next year’s date, which is May 4, and we’re going to try and make it provincewide,” said Ms. McPhail. Walkers and monetary contribu- tions came from Uxbridge, Etobi- coke, Applecroft Public School and St. James Catholic School in Ajax, Colwell Nursery School & Kinder- garten in Pickering, Colonel J.E. Farewell Public School in Whitby, Harmony Road Public School in Oshawa and Bellmere Junior Public School in Scarborough. The Geneva Centre is a leading clinical, training and support centre for kids with autism and their fami- lies. Ms. McPhail said the centre is allowing the Dunbar fund-raisers to themselves determine how the money is spent through the centre. PICKERING –William Dunbar Public School held a ‘Loonie for Autism Day’ and also hosted a walk-a-thon this month for the Geneva Centre for Autism in Toronto and raised $7,200. Here, students Olivia Greer, Natasha Ingram, Aaron Morris, William Camayang and special education teacher Emmanouela Dimas hold a handful of loonies donated to the cause. Total comfort.

The championships, which got under way at Toronto’s Humber Col- lege Wednesday, are showcasing 250 trampolinists and tumblers from six provinces. The three-day event fea- tures competition in synchronized trampoline, individual trampoline, double-mini trampoline and power tumbling. Cory Kozmik, 13, of Ajax, and Amanda Patterson, 16, of Pickering, are competing in the national novice women’s division, while, Evan Pelan, 14, of Pickering, is competing in the novice national men’s category. Ben Snape, 21, of Pickering, com- petes in the senior men’s competition. With the exception of her synchro- nized trampoline partner Rosie McLennan of King City, who’s also 13, Kozmik is the youngest competi- tor at nationals this year. Kozmik’s na- tional debut is the culmination of a fine season on the trampo- line. Her scores at two provincial qualifiers en- abled her to ad- vance to the 2001 Provincial Tram- poline Champi- onships in Etobi- coke last month where she placed third overall on in- dividual trampoline and second in synchronized trampoline with McLennan.

A member of the Skyriders Trampoline Place in Richmond Hill, Kozmik will compete in the largest category at the nationals, with 41 athletes expected to compete. The novice group is the entry-level category in nationals, with the com- petitors put into this bracket based on experience and technical difficulty of the routines. Kozmik explained she enjoys all the trampo- line disciplines — individual, synchronized and double mini. She also likes competing in the compulsory routine in the individual competi- tion, as it enables her to perfect the routine in practice before presenting it in competition. “I like to perfect it and make it look excel- lent,” said Kozmik, who trains three to four times a week at the Richmond Hill club. Although a medal in her first-ever taste of na- tional competition may be expecting a lot, Kozmik said she’s nonetheless determined to get on the podium in one of her events. “I’m hoping to try my best and be on the podium. But, other than that, I want to do well and not fall off (the trampoline),” she said.

I would also like to thank some very special people who were so very helpful to us. To Larry Paquet for delivering such a heartfelt eulogy. To Sergeant Tim Bates for providing the honour guard in memo- ry of Roy's distinguished service in the Canadian Armed Forces. To my neighbours for all of their support and in particular those who have been here on Woodhouse Crescent for over fifty years. To Captain Craig Cameron of Roy's regiment, the Queen's Own Rifles for providing a service that would have made Roy so proud. To the Royal Canadian Legion, Ajax Branch for the lovely reception following the funeral. To the pallbearers who included five of my eleven grandchildren, Todd, Jay, Rory, Tom and John and my nephew Wesley Laing.To my brother in law Douglas and my sister in law Joanne for all of their support. To the nurses on Two West at Ajax Hospital for the kindness and care they showed to Roy dur- ing his stay. To Gord Kimber and Linc Price for making sure I had transportation through this difficult time. To Jennifer at McEachnie Funeral Home for all of her patience and assis- tance. To all of those people from the world of hockey that took the time to remember our contributions to amateur hockey by sending flowers and kind notes. And to Roy.. Last night I had a crazy dream A wish was granted just for me, I didn't ask for money or a mansion in Malibu I simply wished, for one more day with you.

A/P PAGE 38 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 18, 2001 North Durham communities asked to sign on to waste plan BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Increasing compost- ing and recycling in north Durham are the main elements of a proposal that could see the municipalities of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock participat- ing in an integrated waste collection sys- tem beginning early next year, says a Regional official. However, the proposal could also mean the amount of garbage being dumped at the Region’s landfill site in Brock Township will double. Durham waste manager Peter Watson reports Regional staff recently met with local councillors in the three municipal- ities to talk about “better ways of inte- grating waste collection” in the north. He noted local garbage collection contracts in the three areas all end early next year, as does the Region’s blue box collection contract, which means if the three municipalities agree on one amal- gamated system, it could be in place in early 2002. Under the Regional proposal,the sys- tem would include the introduction of a curbside organics composting program, increasing blue box recycling and dumping the residual garbage from the three municipalities at the landfill site in Brock, Mr. Watson reports. The landfill site currently accepts waste from Brock Township while the garbage from the other two municipali- ties is shipped to transfer stations in south Durham and then trucked to the Keele Valley landfill site in Vaughan, which is slated to close at the end of 2002. “We want to ensure we run a full or- ganics program in the three townships so the household organic food waste would be diverted out (of landfill),” Mr. Watson said. “As a result there would be a mod- est increase in what’s being landfilled (at the Brock site) now.” Mr. Watson reported the three munic- ipalities each generate about 4,000 tonnes of garbage a year, but added with roughly one-third of that waste being compostable organic materials, there would only be about 8,000 tonnes left over to be dumped at the Brock landfill. Currently, about 4,000 tonnes of waste are disposed at the Brock site. He also noted increased recycling op- tions would reduce that 8,000 tonnes even further. Mr. Watson said the Brock landfill is located on a 100-acre parcel of land, but the Region is only operating “one very small sector of it.” He added the site has “many, many years left” in terms of its anticipated lifespan. “The Townships seem to be very sup- portive of what we’re preparing,” Mr. Watson said, noting the plan has not been endorsed by any of the municipali- ties yet. “We’re still waiting for their blessing.” However, Brock Mayor Terry Clay- ton, who sits on Durham’s works com- mittee, which is responsible for waste management, has some concerns. Although he believes the “system they’re proposing here is a good option”, he would rather the Brock dump was left untouched. “If it just took Brock’s garbage it would last for a number of years,” the mayor said. “I would think myself it would be better off if they left it alone.” He noted if the decision is made to ship the garbage from the other two townships to Brock there will have to be road upgrades in the area to handle the increased truck traffic. He’s also anticipating local residents will be concerned with the proposal. However, Scugog Mayor Doug Mof- fatt said if the three municipalities in- crease composting and recycling there won’t be a big increase in the amount of garbage being dumped at the Brock landfill site. “We’ve got to do the whole project,” he said. “We’ve just got to get off the dime. We talk about doing these things but we never get to the implementation... we can’t afford not to move ahead.” Mayor Moffatt noted the proposal to ship the garbage from the three munici- palities to the Brock site may not be an “integral” part of the plan, but he said it would save a lot of money in trucking costs. “I think if we do the right sales job... we’ll get a big buy in (from the public).” THE BUCK STOPS HERE *Offer ends July 4, 2001, and is subject to approved credit on John Deere Credit Revolving Plan, for non-commercial use only.

This year’s theme is “Your Veterinarians: Partners in Health” and will celebrate the human- animal-veterinarian bond. To assist in promoting this week, the CVMA will be offering educational materials, open clinics, school visits, pet food drives, seminars and contents. Animal welfare and health is a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal- well being, including proper housing, management, nutrition, disease prevention, humane handling and euthanasia. Veterinarians are often the first professionals to see an abused animal and it is their duty to document and report such actions. Veterinary medicine is constantly changing just like human medicine. There are now “high- tech” medical procedures that are used in treating animals such as radiation therapy, bone replacement and dental work. There are also holistic veterinarians who concentrate on nutrition, diet, acupuncture, massage and the psychological state of the animal. Besides these treatments, there are the advancements in animal behavioural studies, which means that with proper training, there will be a better human-animal bond. Thousands of animals are given up annually because of behavioural problems with the unlikelihood that they will ever be adopted - leaving euthanasia as the only solution. ph.
