HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2001_08_10Wicked weather wipes us out Relief expected today, experts say BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM —Heat, humidity, smog and no rain have done it to us. All have combined to give this area one of the hottest, muggiest, dirtiest and driest spells we’ve ex- perienced. Thermometers peaked at a record-setting 37.9 C Wednes- day and the humidex was up over 40 C. The smog count in Oshawa (the only area in Durham tested) hit 59 (poor starts at 50) Wednes- day afternoon, the worst air quali- ty in southern Ontario, although a 20-minute storm quickly reduced that to a reading of seven (very good) by 8 p.m. Thursday was no better with record high temperatures, hu- midex readings and a continued smog advisory. At 1 p.m., the tem- perature was 35 with a humidex of 43 and the air quality was poor at 63. But residents can look forward to better conditions today (Friday) as a cold front is expected to bring more moderate temperatures (today’s predicted high of 27 is the same as Thursday morning’s low) and an end to humidity and smog. The humidity level had already started to drop by midday Thurs- day. There’s still no sign of much- needed rain, however. Wednesday evening’s brief thunderstorm dumped some rain on north Oshawa and caused some damage due to high winds, with residents in east Oshawa and Courtice reporting trees down, in- cluding a few that landed on cars. There were even reports of funnel clouds. “We did have, between 6:15 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., a thunder- storm,” said Geoff Coulson, a se- vere weather meteorologist with Environment Canada’s Toronto re- gional weather centre. “We did have potential wind gusts of up to 80 to 90 kilometres an hour. We haven’t gotten any confirmation of a funnel cloud.” The storm, called a pulse thun- derstorm, went through the area from the northwest to southeast, with its peak near the Oshawa- Courtice border, and then out over the lake, where it weakened, he said. City seeks more information on monitoring program BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —City coun- cillors want more information about a monitoring program at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS) before deciding whether they’ll support the restart of the plant’s ‘A’-side re- actors. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has applied to the Canadi- an Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for an amendment to its operating licence to allow the re- actors to return to service. The four units have been shut down since 1997. The CNSC will make a final decision on the restart after receiving comments from the public, which has until the end of the month to provide input. Pickering staff had recom- mended council advise the CNSC that the City supports the restart, but local politicians decided dur- ing Tuesday’s council meeting to defer voting on that recommen- dation until the proposed moni- toring program has been final- ized. “From my perspective to even consider an endorsation on blind trust would have been wrong,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor While most residents in Ajax and Pickering found ways to stay cool during the heat wave this week, Hourig Tozcu decided instead to embrace the weather by heading to the beach. Ms. Tozcu spent some leisure time in the hot sand along the Lake Ontario shore in Pickering on Wednesday after- noon. Weather forecasters said relief from the heat was expected today.

The Region ratified contracts Tuesday with Durham’s inside workers, public health nurses, and employees at its homes for the aged. The three groups are all receiv- ing a nine-per cent pay rise over three years, reported Don Paterson, Durham’s commissioner of human resources. But, council voted to defer a de- cision on increasing their own salaries to reflect the settlements reached with its union members despite a decision earlier this year to tie the two together. “That was what I understood to be the plan and the goal,” Mr. Pa- terson said. “It sure makes sense in the longer run to staff that there be some kind of relationship like that.” However, he said councillors, who discussed the wage increases during an in-camera committee meeting Tuesday, “were not com- fortable” with the recommendation to give them a nine-per cent pay hike as well. Regional councillors voted themselves an eight-per cent pay raise in March. The increase was an average of the salary increases granted to se- nior staff at the time, with the in- tention being that councillors’ salaries would be tied to the raises for Regional employees from that point on. It was also intended to bring their pay closer to the level of politicians in other regions. However, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said Regional politicians “didn’t want to deal with (their pay on Tuesday) so that will be coming back in Novem- ber.” He added, “I hope (the report to council this fall) doesn’t reopen the whole process (of council pay increases). I think tying council- lors’ salaries in with management and exempt staff after we’ve nego- tiated with the unions is the appro- priate way to go.” He noted if councillors receive the same pay increase as union members, “at least that way it’s somewhat consistent.” He also said that process would eliminate the possibility of coun- cillors voting themselves a signifi- cant increase in remuneration. Mr. Anderson said councillors will likely explore setting up a benefit plan and pension plan when the issue is addressed later this year. “I think we’ll have to look at everything,” he said. “There’s no benefit plan. There’s no Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) for councillors (in Durham).” However, there is an OMERS program for politicians in Peel and York, he said, noting “Durham never went on OMERS... have some councillors who’ve been here 20 years... they have no pension, they have nothing.” Mr. Anderson said he’d also like to see changes to the policy that currently provides Regional politi- cians with one-third of their salary tax-free. If that were eliminated, council- lors would “pay tax on all of their income, instead of just two-thirds of their income. I think it all works out in the wash... I think the public would better understand that process. It’s far more open and transparent.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 10, 2001 PAGE 3 A/P Durham Region employees get pay hikes ROGER ANDERSON If councillors receive the same pay increases as union members ‘at least that way it’s consistent.’ Find the ‘Road to Redemption’ tonight PICKERING —Community members are invited to attend a drive- in movie night at Bayfair Baptist Church on Friday, Aug. 10.

But if the A side is going to restart there has to be a better mecha- nism to make sure we never live through the kinds of concerns we lived through before... it’s a safety net,” Coun. Brenner said in an inter- view Wednesday. Coun. Brenner had also attempted to seek a deferral of the motion during a committee of the whole meeting held prior to council, on the grounds that a community benefits agreement was not listed as a condition of the restart. “I don’t feel that what we have be- fore us goes far enough,” Coun. Bren- ner told his colleagues. “I cannot sup- port something that does not address a full community benefits agreement.” He pointed out that although City staff has recommended one of the conditions of the relicensing be a re- quirement that OPG make arrange- ments with the City to ensure ade- quate fire and emergency response is in place at the plant, there is also a need to spell out an agreement with the City regarding the future benefits to the community. “A community benefits agreement will really carve in stone everybody’s understanding that the kind of com- mitment and support we’ve had (from OPG) will continue,” Coun. Brenner said. However, the majority of council- lors didn’t feel that was reason enough to defer the recommendation. Mayor Wayne Arthurs noted, “There are a lot of things OPG has been doing that are of benefit to the community.” But, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland noted, “It’s absolutely critical you push for all that you feel is fair. We’re talking about a huge cor- porate presence... it’s important to continue to pursue community bene- fits.” He reported the City is hoping to receive another $300,000 from OPG towards the redevelopment of Picker- ing’s waterfront. Meanwhile, Pat O’Brien, OPG’s public affairs manager, said Tuesday while he was pleased with the support expressed during the committee of the whole meeting, he was “surprised” by the deferral that oc- curred when councillors addressed the issue again in the council meeting later that evening. He noted the monitoring program “is still being finalized by the CNSC” and added that council’s decision to seek an ex- tension on the deadline to provide input to the commission “really doesn’t affect the (process) at all”.

Unit 9A Pickering (905) 831-6870 Consultations available for LASIK/PRK corrective surgery DURHAM —Local health officials are advising area residents to take precau- tions to avoid heat-related ill- ness this week as the temper- atures across southern On- tario reach record highs. “People suffer heat-related illness when the body’s tem- perature control system is overloaded,” explained Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham Region’s associate medical officer of health. “The body normally cools itself by sweating, but under some conditions, sweating isn’t enough.” She added, “When humid- ity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, which prevents the body from re- leasing heat rapidly.” She also reported other conditions that can limit the body’s ability to regulate temperature include old age, obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, poor circula- tion, sunburn, and drug and alcohol use. Durham Region Health Department spokesman Glendene Collins noted the Region does not declare heat emergencies as the City of Toronto has done this week. However, local health offi- cials are encouraging every- one to take it easy during the extreme heat. The health unit is offering the following tips to stay cool: • Drink plenty of fluids; • Try to stay in shaded and cool areas, such as air-condi- tioned facilities; • Limit your activity level and take it slow, avoid excess physical activity and try to plan your activities so you are outdoors when the tempera- ture is cooler, such as early morning and evenings; • When outdoors, wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and protect your head and face with a hat or umbrella, use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher and carry plenty of water; • The elderly, children and individuals with heart or lung problems should be kept well hydrated; • Develop a buddy system, especially for the elderly or those with health problems; • Avoid hot foods and heavy meals as they can add heat to your body; and • Do not leave infants, children or pets in a parked car. Health officials are also advising residents to be on the lookout for symptoms of heat exhaustion, which in- clude heavy sweating, pale- ness, muscle cramps, tired- ness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting and fainting. “If these symptoms are present, provide assistance by offering the victim cool, non- alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages,” Dr. Reynolds said, noting if the individual does not cool off within an hour or if symptoms worsen, the victim should seek med- ical attention. She reported individuals should also seek medical help if they are suffering from heat stroke. The symptoms in- clude an extremely high tem- perature; red, hot and dry skin; rapid, strong pulse; throbbing headache; dizzi- ness; nausea; confusion and unconsciousness. Anyone with heat-related inquiries can call the Durham Region Health Department’s environmental helpline at 905-723-8521 ext. 2188.

On behalf of all the volunteers and board of directors at the Rubena Willis Counselling Centre for Assaulted Women and Children, we wish to congratulate the many community members who worked and advocated on behalf of assaulted women and children in Durham Region to secure another shelter. The shelter will be a much-needed safe place for women and children who must flee violence in order to live another day. In particular, we want to express a ‘hats off’to the Ajax/Pickering Women’s Centre for its tenacity and steadfastness. It has been a long struggle. These warriors in the community must be acknowledged and given the support needed to get the build- ing operational. Again, we thank and applaud the com- munity members who hung in there de- spite the bleak outlook from time to time. While we would prefer not be celebrat- ing a shelter of this type, women and chil- dren continue to be harmed and killed throughout Durham.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com It was a story simply too good to be true. Venolyn Clarke’s rise to the top of Canada’s female sprint class at the advanced age of 34 was a feel-good story that has now gone so terribly wrong. Sprinters, at least clean ones, tend to retire as they hit their mid- 30s, not get better and better. This past weekend, much-decorated track stars Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin capped off wonderful careers at the World Track and Field Championships in Edmonton. And now there’s Oshawa’s Clarke, an inspiration to the devel- opmentally challenged children she works with as a classroom teaching assistant, unmasked just as Ben Johnson was in 1988 as a drug cheat. Just a month ago, Ms. Clarke, who turned 34 July 11, told the News Advertiser’s sister paper in Oshawa, “There really are no question marks around my name right now because I am the Cana- dian champion.” Well, there are plenty of questions now and Clarke has yet to provide any answers. Just after she finished eighth out of eight sprinters in second- round 100-metre qualifying in Edmonton on Sunday, her career came to a crashing end. A drug test taken at a warm-up meet in Calgary in late July came back positive for the steroid stanozolol, the very same drug that brought down Mr. Johnson at the 1988 Olympics. Unless Ms. Clarke is able to successfully appeal the positive test, she faces an automatic four-year ban, effectively end- ing her career. Johnson’s 1988 disaster led of course to the Dubin Inquiry, held for a solid year to front-page headlines. Heads hung in shame as revelations piled up. Testing would be intensified, scrutiny more severe. Athletics Canada promised to do everything it could to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. But athletes aren’t horses locked in stables under the complete control of their owners. These adults have their own lives, their own training schedules, their own coaches, and as it appears in Ms. Clarke’s case due to her failed drug test, their own steroids. Her words in our story last month are haunting now. “Here I am, Canadian champ after 10 years of everyone kicking my butt. Anything is possible. For me, I’m reaching my peak and I think I have three more good years in me as long as I don’t get injured.” Not so fast Ms. Clarke. Canadian athletics, already feeling the heat after underachiev- ing at Sydney and a medal-free performance thus far at these Worlds, could do without this sort of miserable publicity. A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 10, 2001 Empty words fail to meet ultimate test Canadian athletics can do without publicity of Venolyn Clarke’s positive drug test It’s that time of year again when many people insanely decide to move. Most people get that irritat- ing itch about every 10 years. At that point you either renovate or move. I chose the latter. Everyone is thrilled when they hear of your quest. However, they all agree if possible, they’ll never move again. Why? It is because the huge task of relocation is equal to the enormous headache you have to endure. The simplest solution is to get your spouse to do all the work. The problem with this quick fix is that one of the side-effects — a butt kick — makes it very difficult to execute a relocation from rehab. So, try the following route instead. First, you need something you don’t have: money. At this point most people take the obvious route and head to the bank. Look, there is a reason they’re called institutions. If it’s personal service you’re look- ing for then what you need is a mortgage broker. Some brokers will come right to your house. You can actually sit at your kitchen table and while drinking coffee, you can sign yourself into blissful debt. Now, you need to find an agent. The best way to do this is to have a good look at your community news- paper. They say a picture tells a thousand words. That is more than enough to make a qualified assess- ment. If their eyes are half-closed they’re shifty and can’t be trusted. If their clothes look like something from ‘Saturday Night Fever’they’re out of touch with the present and the housing market as well. Don’t even consider an agent with bad hair. Last, you will need a lawyer. Be- fore the lawyer jokes start, remem- ber it is to your advantage to find one who specializes in real estate and has a local practice. It is OK if the lawyer tells you a joke. Just re- member to laugh even if it’s bad. They usually are. There are also some things you should avoid doing. Do not acciden- tally pack your pets or kids in the boxes. If you have no choice, make sure you provide breathing holes and drinking water. Refrain from pulling your hair out. However, pulling someone else’s hair, with the exception of your new neighbours, may relieve some built-up stress. My final bit of advice is proba- bly the most important. On moving day make sure your helpers do not have access to the beer until after your possessions are safely in your new home. If all else fails maybe you’ll have better luck locating a wonder cream that gets rid of that initial itch that irritated you in the first place. Treat that moving itch before you’re in over your head From choosing the right help, to keeping tabs on your kids, this is one experience best left alone Jeff Renaud Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 10, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P Hot under the collar! The heat wave is placing large demands on water and hydro lo- cally. Durham Region is monitor- ing its water reservoirs and, while they’re fine so far, is asking resi- dents to use water wisely. Veridian Connections, which services Ajax and Pickering, re- ported it’s monitoring hydro sub- station and feeder loads, and where possible, is turning on addi- tional cooling for transformers. Veridian’s system hit an all-time peak load of 333,830 kilowatts on Tuesday. “In general, our supply system is dealing with the unusual tem- peratures and electrical demand quite well,” Axel Starck, vice- president of Veridian, said in a re- lease. “In some areas we have inter- vened to prevent overloading.” Mr. Starck said there have been minor power outages due to the heat in Ajax and Pickering, im- pacting 10 to 20 customers each time. “We are assured our supply of power from Ontario Power Gener- ation via Hydro One’s transmis- sion system is secure and expect no difficulties in meeting our cus- tomers’ needs should the heat wave continue,” he added. Across Ontario, this summer has seen the highest use of elec- tricity ever, with four of the top six hydro use days since June. The peak demand to date was 25,244 megawatts during a 20-minute pe- riod Wednesday, breaking Tues- day’s record of 25,140. Local hospitals have reported a few cases of heat-related illness, but officials say most people, par- ticularly parents, seem to be tak- ing warnings seriously and pro- tecting themselves and children from too much sun and heat. Don’t waste water Conserve as we weather drought BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff writer DURHAM —There’s been plenty of moisture in the air re- cently, but little of it is reaching the ground, apart from a brief storm in north and east Durham Wednesday evening. As the heat wave and hu- midity continue, Durham Re- gion residents are still free to use water outdoors as they see fit but are being asked to use it prudently and to comply with the annual voluntary restric- tions in force from May to Sep- tember. These call for residents on odd-numbered sides of streets to water on odd days while those in even-numbered houses can water on even days. Bernie Kuslikis, of Durham’s works department, reported the Region has not yet instituted any watering ban but is closely watching its lake-fed water reservoirs in south Durham and the wells in north Durham. “They’ve dipped as low as 45 per cent but they have re- covered,” he said.“We’re asking people to use water wisely.” Drinking water quality con- tinues to be good although algae in Lake Ontario is build- ing, as is the odour from it. While the dry conditions continue, there are things resi- dents can do to conserve water, said Glenn Pleasance, Durham’s water efficiency co- ordinator. “It’s just prudent to use less water in times like these when the whole system is under a strain,” he said. “The more prudent you are, the better able we are to weath- er this.” First of all, lawns only need one inch of water a week. The best time to water is early morning or evening, not in the middle of the day. Another suggestion for wise water use is to switch to types of grass that are more drought- resistant, such as fine fescue and perennial rye In gardens, use plants that are more tolerant of drought conditions. Check out the Re- gion’s water-efficient demon- stration gardens at Rossland Road and Garden Street in Whitby. Here are some other sug- gestions: sweep sidewalks and driveways instead of washing them off, fill up a small pool or use squirt guns to cool off chil- dren instead of running a sprin- kler, operate decorative foun- tains only when you’re home and use a bucket, sponge and hose with a shut-off nozzle when washing a car. For other tips on wise water use, pick up a copy of the Re- gion’s water efficiency house- hold guide.It can be obtained at Regional headquarters, 605 Rossland Rd.

HOT from page 1 ‘Pretty darn serious’ Drought conditions leave Durham farmers worried BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM ––With weather re- ports calling for only a smattering of rain in the foreseeable future and farms already dealing with extraor- dinarily dry conditions, the situation is “getting pretty darn serious right now for area farmers,” says a local grower. “It’s certainly dry,” adds farmer Ted Watson, who grows a variety of fruit and vegetable crops at his west Bowmanville farm. “It’s pretty darn serious in this area.” The lack of rain, combined with “a lot of days where the temperature has been above 30 (degrees Cel- sius),” has made conditions ex- tremely dry across the province, says Dave Phillips, a senior clima- tologist with Environment Canada. Environment Canada’s precipita- tion measuring station in Oshawa actually reported greater than aver- age rainfalls for July, says climatol- ogist Sandy Radecki. However, though Oshawa received 65.6 mil- limetres of rain last month, com- pared with the normal average of 64 millimetres, almost 52 millimetres fell in one two-day period on July 3 and 4. Only 13.8 millimetres fell the rest of the month. Across the province, farmers are being affected by the lack of rain, says Mr. Phillips. “Crops like corn and soy beans, which can’t be irrigated, are really being hammered,” he says, noting there appears to be “no gentle rain coming.” According to Environment Canada’s forecast for Durham, there is a chance of thunderstorms today (Wednesday) and showers Friday. Otherwise, the weather is expected to remain mainly hot and dry through Saturday. And that’s not good news to Dave Barry, president of the Durham Federation of Agriculture, who still holds out hope for precipi- tation. “I just hope it rains in the next few days,” says Mr. Barry. “It’d sure lower the stress level for a lot of farmers.” Mr. Barry says some areas of Durham have been affected more than others. “The rains have been so spotty. We got a good shower a few weeks ago, but they didn’t get it two miles south of me,” says the Zephyr- area farmer, whose 400-acre farm produces mainly vegetables. “The rule of thumb is you need one inch of rain a week. We had an inch two weeks ago and that’s about it for the month,” he says. Mr. Watson says the lack of rain is more pronounced on farms, or areas of farms, where soil is lighter in consistency. “If you’re on a heavier soil, you’re probably still weathering it,” he says. “On the lighter soil, there are spots that are hurting badly... We do need rain, and tonight. (But), for some areas of the field, it’s too late.” For many of Mr. Watson’s crops, the salvation has been irrigation. He uses a trickle system, which utilizes a hose either just on top of or shal- lowly buried in the soil. The system uses less water than other methods of irrigation and has allowed the Watson farms’irrigation pond to re- main fairly full. Still, many local fields are look- ing rather dry. “The drought is obviously taking effect,” says Anna Bragg, of Bragg’s Wild Birdseed in Bowmanville, who is also past-president of the On- tario Corn Producers Association and currently sits on the executive of the Grain Growers of Canada. Provincewide, Ms. Bragg says, corn producers are seeing yields drop- ping by 12 to 13 bushels per acre. “We already have a huge prob- lem with competing with prices in the States,” she says. “Now, of course, we’ve got this other prob- lem.” WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo Anna Bragg, a Durham resident and past-president of the Ontario Corn Producers Association, says current conditions could result in crops that are approximately 12 to 13 bushels below the usual per- acre yield. A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 10, 2001 Old buddy offers friendship to grieving teen BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM ––When Mike Homes’s mother was dying of bone marrow cancer, the ailing woman became concerned her son would need someone to turn to during his rough time. She called Hospice Durham. Mike’s mother has since died, but the friendship he made with retired police officer John Hamil- ton has not. At first glance, the former fifty-something police officer, clean-shaven with short hair and the 17-year-old with his rock shirt, big pants, backwards hat and nose ring look like they have no business being in each other’s company. Mr. Hamilton quickly learned otherwise. “I said to Hospice maybe you better find him someone closer to his age,” said Mr. Hamilton. “Hospice encouraged me to give it a try and I found they were right on and it was very quick that we set up a friendship.” He said trying to get to know his young pal taught him one of the biggest lessons he ever learned. “Despite the perception on how people look, I found Michael to be a polite, disciplined young man.” Mr. Hamilton and Mike spend lots of time together since they met two years ago and agree the friendship could last a lifetime. “He’s been there and taken me to places to get my mind off things and just take me away,” said Mike. “He’s funny and good to talk to... old people aren’t as boring as they look.” Since his mother died, Mike has lived with his aunt and uncle, but still sees plenty of Mr. Hamil- ton. Currently he is getting dri- ving lessons from him and they arm-wrestle to see who’s going to pay for the next coffee. “There isn’t anybody in this community that will not be af- fected by the services we pro- vide,” said Cheryl MacLeod, ex- ecutive director for Hospice Durham. “We are providing ser- vices for people who are dying and that comes to all of us at some point.” Awareness, recognition and recommendations from doctors and nurses, and quicker release times from hospital has doubled Hospice Durham’s clientele, which serves the southern part of Durham from Ajax/Pickering to Newcastle. The Hospice has gone from serving 148 people in 1997 to 306 in 2000. It became a registered corporation and chari- ty in 1991. Because of the growth, it is having its largest fund-raising event ever with sponsorship from Scotia Bank. “We get a small portion of our funding from the Ministry of Health long-term care division which amounts to maybe about 30 per cent of our operating bud- get,” said Mrs. MacLeod. “The rest of it has to come from fund- raising, a few are memorial dona- tions but all the rest are dollars we fund-raise.” The ‘Helping Hearts’ fund- raiser is a 5 km walk/run event and because Hospice is a family service, it will be a family day with face painting and an obsta- cle course for the kids. It also has a silent auction, for people who don’t want to run or walk, prizes and giveaways. The fund-raiser is on Aug. 26 at Lakeview Park. Registration is $15 for the run in advance and $20 on race day, $10 for the walk or the children’s ob- stacle course in advance and $15 on event day. Those who raise $150 or more in sponsorship will have their registration fee waived. “We would like people to come to the centre of the commu- nity, meet the volunteers and sup- porters of Hospice Durham, learn about our services, have fun, bring the family,” she said. For more information, call 905-430-4522 or 1-888-790- 9414. Mike Homes (left) has found a friend in John Hamilton through Hospice Durham. The pair met when Mike’s mother was fighting cancer and have shared time together over the last two years, developing an important bond.

INSTALLATION NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 10, 2001 PAGE 9 A/P Separate gun calls lead to arrest of Ajax teens, Pickering resident BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––A Pickering man and a pair of Ajax teenagers face a variety of charges –– including a 15- year-old boy arrested during a dra- matic gunpoint takedown –– after a flurry of gun calls a few hours apart, police say. In the first incident, Durham Re- gional Police responded to a plaza in the Harwood Avenue and Kingston Road area at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday after a report of a young man in a vehicle with several occupants, pointing a gun at people. Officers located the suspect vehi- cle at a nearby residence a short time later and the tactical support unit was called out. A 16-year-old boy surrendered and Durham police seized a replica handgun. The teen is charged with two counts each of pointing a firearm and possession of a dangerous weapon. There were tense moments a few hours later, when a 15-year-old boy was arrested at gunpoint on Westney Road South after a youth was spot- ted on a bus with a black handgun concealed in the waistband of his jeans at 10 p.m. Police said the teen was observed leaving the scene when officers ar- rived in the area of 110 Westney Rd. S. A uniform officer drew his ser- vice pistol and ordered the youth to lie face down on the pavement, po- lice said. The teen refused and the officer distracted the youth. Backup officers tackled him from behind and wres- tled him to the ground as a crowd of onlookers cheered on police. The weapon, found tucked into boy’s jeans, turned out to be a pellet gun. The 15-year-old is charged with weapons dangerous, carrying a con- cealed weapon and breach of recog- nizance. In the third incident, a 55-year- old Pickering man was arrested after allegedly pointing an unloaded .22- calibre rifle and swinging an axe handle at his landlord during a heat- ed disagreement over a propane tank, police said. The victim was able to disarm the tenant, who was arrested when offi- cers arrived at the residence on Side- line 28, west of Claremont, just after 9:10 p.m. Robert McKay, 55, has been charged with careless storage of a firearm, assault with a weapon, point firearm and two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon.

City of Pickering wants to give extra recognition BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Cele- brating the dedication of Pickering residents who regu- larly give of their time to help others is the aim of a special program being run by the City this year. With 2001 designated by the United Nations as the In- ternational Year of the Volun- teer, a committee of local res- idents is marking the occa- sion by attempting to honour every community member in Pickering who’s actively in- volved in volunteerism. “We want to identify everybody who is doing vol- unteer work in Pickering and recognize them,” said Terry James, chairman of the vol- unteer recognition commit- tee, a special initiative an- nounced by Mayor Wayne Arthurs in his inaugural ad- dress last December. The committee has been meeting regularly since March and is in the process of contacting community groups and associations across the city to gather the names of volunteers, which the committee will then pre- sent with a volunteer recogni- tion certificate. Mr. James said the committee is hoping to honour all of Pickering’s “heroes” with a certificate, whether they are parents who volunteer at a local school, young people, members of service clubs, individuals in- volved in running sports or- ganizations or residents who volunteer with their church or help to run Girl Guides and Scouts programs. “We want to give them something special,” Mr. James said, noting this year is the “first and only time” the certificates will be handed out. He added, “We don’t want to miss anyone.” To date, approximately 100 people have been pre- sented with certificates, while another 600 or so were recog- nized informally at a special Canada Day celebration at Kinsmen Park, Mayor Arthurs said. He noted the committee is comprised “almost exclusive- ly of volunteers who are working to identify and ac- knowledge volunteers”. In addition to honouring volunteers, the committee is also organizing a workshop for volunteers on Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Pickering Recreation Complex featur- ing sessions on fund-raising, communicating effectively and marketing your organiza- tion. Legendary Canadian jock- ey Sandy Hawley and marathon swimmer Vicki Keith are the keynote speak- ers. The committee, which is sponsored by the City and Ontario Power Generation, is also planning an event to ho- nour volunteers at the Picker- ing Museum Village’s Fall Family Festival on Oct. 14.

Durham woman works to preserve wartime accounts of British women BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM —A Durham woman is on a mis- sion to ensure the stories and contributions of women liv- ing in the United Kingdom during the Second World War, are not forgotten. Although Canada, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand have national memorials for women in- volved in the Second World War, Britain does not and women there are hoping to change that. When 80-year-old Os- hawa resident Joan Hill, for- merly of Britain, received a letter from her friend Mil- dred Veal requesting help for the memorial, she immedi- ately became interested, making copies of letters to bring to Canadian Legion branches and senior centres. Requested information doesn’t only have to be about the role played by women during the war, but also about the affect it had. Ms. Veal’s fiancé was killed in the war a few days before they were to marry, leaving an everlasting war scar in her heart. “Everything is to the men who fell in the war, or who worked in the war or who flew in the war, but there’s never been anything done for the women,” said Mrs. Hill. After a memorial was created for the merchant ma- rine Second World War vet- erans, Ms. Veal and some other women set out to re- mind Britain about the im- pact women made. “Without the help of women, Britain wouldn’t have been able to succeed in the battles because the women were behind the men,” said Mrs. Hill. Anyone interested in helping can write their sto- ries to: Memorial to the Women of World War 2 c/o Department of Documents, Imperial War Museum, Lon- don, England SE1 6HZ. Program a chance for youths to learn leadership skills PICKERING —The final session of a program offered by The Youth Centre is being held next week. Youth Action Experience gives teenagers 13 to 19 years old living in Ajax or Pickering the chance to take part in teamwork and leadership ac- tivities, employment workshops and CPR training. The program also gives partici- pants the chance to prepare a resume, gain interviewing skills and organize a one-day community volunteer pro- ject. The final session is Aug. 13 to 17 at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre, at Kingston and Rosebank roads in Pickering. All sessions run from 1 to 5 p.m. The cost is $10, which covers ad- ministration fees for the CPR train- ing. Participants must register in ad- vance. The program is run with assistance from the City of Pickering, the YMCA Durham Employment Ser- vices and the Industrial Accident Pre- vention Association.

The church, which has been located at 755 Okla- homa Dr. for the past 37 years, has purchased the Veridian energy building at 1920 Bayly St. “We hope to be in the new place in early September,” Reverend Harold Reid said Thursday, “We really are ex- cited.” Rev. Reid, who has led the congregation since January 1994, said the move is neces- sary because of the growing numbers attending the church. “We’ve experienced pret- ty good growth over the last seven years,” Rev. Reid said, noting the church has grown from roughly 230 people to more than 1,000. “The Oklahoma Drive sanctuary, which comfortably seats 220 people, was clearly inadequate for a congregation that has grown from 20 peo- ple at its inception in 1964, to more than 1,000 37 years later,” he said, noting the church has been holding three Sunday morning ser- vices since 1998 to accom- modate the increasing num- bers. He added, “We really weren’t looking for a site. We had a realtor look for a place three years ago but we didn’t find anything we felt good about.” He believes it was the “leading of the Lord” that brought the church to the Veridian building. The reverend reported the cost of the interior renova- tions to convert the building into a church, which will in- clude a sanctuary with a ca- pacity for roughly 800 peo- ple, a gymnasium, classroom and office space, is estimated at $900,000. And, although some pre- liminary work has begun, the major renovations aren’t under way yet. “We’re wait- ing for the building permit.” The multicultural church, which has members repre- senting 47 countries, is hold- ing Sunday services at 10:30 a.m. at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex until its new home is ready.

L1V 6K7 905-420-4611 City of Pickering Public Notice Bethesda House funding announced in conjunction with west Durham facility BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––After almost seven years of offering services through “community goodwill,” Bethesda House women’s shelter is finally re- ceiving full shelter status and the funding that goes with it from the Ministry of Community and Social Services. “It’s a new day, a new start,” for the shelter, says Durham MPP John O’- Toole who adds, “It will be stable, an- nualized funding to run as a shelter. It will be funding for a totally different level of service that Bethesda has been providing basically on community goodwill.” The Bowmanville shelter was in- cluded in a $26-million announcement made yesterday by Minister John Baird who said 300 new beds would be created and 136 refurbished throughout the province for women and children escaping abusive situa- tions. Bethesda’s 15-bed facility offers accommodation and services to women and their children fleeing do- mestic violence, but has only been funded as a temporary hostel, not as a full-fledged shelter. The new funding “will enable us to fulfil our dreams and the dreams of a very supportive community,” says Karen McLean, chairman of Bethes- da’s board of directors. “We will be able to provide ongoing teaching and support programs necessary for the healthy recovery for the people who access our shelter.” At this point the shelter has not been informed how much money will be provided for facility upgrades or for the operation budget, says Executive Director Karen Mayson. “We will be meeting with Community and Social Services staff in the next few weeks.” Bethesda House has provided many of its services through charitable do- nations from individuals and business- es within the community. “It’s been an uphill battle fund-rais- ing for the programs,” says Mr. O’- Toole who says the change in status for the shelter will ensure its future. Two other Durham facilities were also included in the announcement. Fifteen new beds in Oshawa and 25 in Ajax will also be created.

GM sales decline sharply in July DURHAM —Car and truck sales plummeted in July for General Motors of Canada. While the Oshawa-built Chevrolet Impala had a strong month, car sales were down seven per cent from the same month in 2000, while truck sales dropped 14.1 per cent, for a combined 10- per cent decrease. The company delivered 20,309 cars and 16,656 trucks in July. Dick Conlin, sales, service and marketing vice-president, said the “moderation in vehicle sales in July” was expected. He added GM prod- ucts still appeal to Canadians. He noted the Impala saw sales increase by 25.9 per cent to 1,531 units. Other big sellers were the Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Cadillac Escalade, Oldsmobile Bravada and Chevy Avalanche. In the year-to-date, GM car sales are down 6.3 per cent and trucks slipped 1.7 per cent, for a combined 4.2-per cent drop in sales compared to the same period in 2000. Commuinty news online!

Created through a restructuring of the Ontario Property Assessment Cor- poration, MPAC’s main responsibility is to establish up-to-date property as- sessments for all properties in On- tario based on their current value. The property assessments are then used as the base to generate munici- pal and educational taxes. The new governance structure for MPAC includes a 15-member board of directors consisting of eight mu- nicipal, five taxpayer, and two provincial government representa- tives. “The new board of directors will be responsible for balancing the needs of municipalities and taxpayers and ensuring an effective, fair, under- standable and accountable assess- ment system,” said Oxford MPP and MPAC acting chairman Ernie Harde- man in a news release announcing the appointments to the board. “I am confident that the wealth of expertise and broad range of experi- ence the board members will bring to MPAC will enable them to achieve this overall objective.” JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Hot days, hot wheels PICKERING –– The hot and humid weather hasn’t slowed Chris Brousseau down at all in recent days.

The ‘Taking Stock - North Ameri- can Pollutant Releases and Transfers 1998’ report, released last Friday by the Commission for Environmental Co-operation shows while Co-Steel Lasco occupies the 25th spot on the list of the top 50 facilities with the largest releases and transfers of pollutants, it is also ninth on a list of facilities with the largest decreases in the same area in Canada. The Whitby company, Canada’s largest automobile recycler and recy- cled steel producer, has reduced total contaminant releases by 16.3 per cent since 1995, from 8,442,307 kg in 1995 to 7,063,650 kg in 1998. Ontario is ranked fifth largest air polluter in North America, behind only Ohio, Texas, Tennessee and Pennsylva- nia. Six Ontario companies made the list of the top 50 polluters (on- and off- site releases) in North America, with Philip Enterprises of Hamilton at 15th place and Co-Steel at 25th, down six spots since the last report. “Releases are down because Co- Steel invested $4 million in more effi- cient equipment to help capture and re- cycle as much metal as possible from the old cars and other scrap steel we process,” said Tom Wesolowski, corpo- rate environment manager for Co- Steel. And Mr. Wesolowski said a recy- cling initiative launched in 1999 has re- duced total contaminant releases by a further 82 per cent since the 1998 peri- od documented in this report. The company contends figures in the report are a bit misleading because virtually all the releases (99.8 per cent) came from two sources, both of which are potentially recyclable. The first, called “on-site releases” in the report actually represents so-called automobile “fluff” (shredded dash- boards, glass, and car seats mixed with metallic particles) which is buried in an on-site landfill berm. “Now that our technical ability to separate the small metal fragments from the fluff has improved, we’re lit- erally ‘mining’ our own landfill to pull out and recycle more metals,” said Mr. Wesolowski. The second release source is dust containing metal compounds that is collected by two baghouses. The bag- houses prevent the dust they capture from going out the stack as air pollu- tion. The dust is generated by the steel recycler’s electric art furnace when it melts scrap steel from recycled cars and other sources. This dust was sent to a licensed landfill in 1998, and report- ed as a release. Co-Steel employs approximately 260 workers in Whitby.

AMERICAN PIE 2 Starring: Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Eugene Levy. Directed by James Rogers. Jim, Nadia, Michelle, Sti- fler, Finch, Kevin,Vicky, Oz, Jessica, Heather and Jim’s Dad are all back for another helping of American Pie. Following their first year at college, the guys, Kevin, Jim, Oz, Finch and Stifler, rent a beach house, vowing to celebrate their friendship and make this the best sum- mer ever. But, as always, whether their dreams come true or not is ultimately up to the girls (Vicky, Michelle, Nadia, Heather and Jessica). The entire ensemble cast of the original comedy is re- united for American Pie 2, boldly taking “the next step” into the fringes of adulthood. OSMOSIS JONES Starring: Molly Shannon, Chris Elliot, Bill Murray. Cast of Voices: Chris Rock, Laurence Fishburne, David Hyde Pierce, Brandy Norwood, William Shatner. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly. Brace yourself for the wildest ride of the summer, complete with explosions, floods, high-speed chases and life-and-death peril... all taking place inside the human body. ‘Osmosis Jones’ is an epic adventure of micro- scopic proportions that be- gins when Frank (Murray) unwittingly ingests a lethal virus and takes the audience along for the ride. When the virus (Fish- burne) invades Frank’s body, renegade white blood cell Osmo- sis Jones (Rock) springs into ac- tion to hunt down and destroy it. Unfortunately, he’s stuck with his partner Drix (Hyde Pierce), a 12-hour cold cap- sule who can be a bit of a pain him- self. Together they race against the biological clock to save Frank from cer- tain death, dodging mucus mud slides, toxic spills, hur- ricane-force sneezes and things you’ve got to see to believe. It’s a dirty job but some antibody’s got to do it. THE OTHERS Starring: Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan, Alaki- na Mann, James Bentley, Christopher Eccleston, Eric Sykes, Elaine Cassidy. Directed by: Alejandro Amenabar. On the secluded Isle of Jersey in the final days of the Second World War, a young woman waits for her beloved husband to return from the front. Grace (Kidman) has been raising her two young children alone in a beautiful, cavernous, Victorian man- sion, the one place she be- lieves them to be safe. But they are not safe. Not anymore. SESSION 9 Starring: David Caruso, Stephen Gevedon, Paul Guilfoyle, Josh Lucas, Peter Mullan, Brendan Sexton III. Directed by Brad Ander- son. The residents of Danvers, Massachusetts steer well clear of the grand and im- posing abandoned insane asylum looming up out of the woods like a dormant beast. But Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years, is about to receive five new visitors. Gordon Fleming (Mul- lan), a Scottish emigrant who owns and operates Haz- mat Elimination Co., badly needs to win a contract to re- move dangerous asbestos from the hospital, which is soon to be renovated. As the work week contin- ues, the crew is drawn deep- er into the mysteries that sur- round the asylum — ram- pant patient abuse, medieval medical procedures, ru- mours of demonic posses- sion. The hospital holds many dark secrets — but then, so does each of the men. The longer they strug- gle under the gruelling pres- sure of their job, the more likely it seems one of them will crack and the awful truth will emerge. The question is, which one will it be?

Have you ever tried one of them? We are not only the QUEEN OF SOFT SERVE but we are also the KING OF ICE. I didn’t realize how extensive the selection was until I started to write this article and asked our Senior Manager Lisa to describe every variety to me. I’d never really tried them before but that has changed! Let me explain what each of these drinks is. They all have one thing in common ... SLUSH. This is what makes these drinks so unique and so icy refreshing. It’s a combination of finely crushed ice, a special blend of sugar and a rich Misty base. It’s the combination of our unique SLUSH with our huge selection of flavour ingredients that escalates the taste of this product to such incredible heights. As you can see DQ DOES NOT USE SIMPLE CRUSHED ICE IN IT’S ICED DRINKS BUT A SPECIAL BLEND THAT MAKES THEM TASTE EXTREMELY RICH. We are always so far from the ordinary at DQ. Let’s look at COOLERS and SLUSHES called Misty Coolers and Misty Slushes. The difference is that the MISTY COOLERS have real fruit in them like Strawberry, Cherry, Blueberry, Pineapple and Raspberry. A MISTY SLUSH has flavours like Misty Orange, Lemon Lime, Cherry, Grape, Strawberry Kiwi and Blue Raspberry. What a selection. I just finished a STRAWBERRY M ISTY COOLER. How about a FREEZE? A freeze not only has slush and a variety of flavours BUT we mix in our world famous soft serve making it one of the smoothest iced drinks you will ever taste. The flavours? ANY SUNDAE FLAVOUR we have and ANY MISTY FLAVOUR we have. Oh Mama! Over 30 varieties. My favourite ... an ORANGE MISTY FREEZE. And now the cadillac of iced drinks our GLACIER SMOOTHIES. My favourite is the FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE. We start with our rich slush and spiral in our fresh DQ soft serve and then we pump in our newest topping called Chocolate Crackle Fudge. We blend it to a smooth consistency and top it with whipped cream. Other Smoothies include Strawberry Banana, Berry Cherry and an incredible Chocolate Mocha. See coupon.

Pickering Power Lone Star under-11 girls’ rep soccer team after winning the championship at a prestigious tournament ear- lier this month. For the first time in the long history of the Pickering Soccer Club, an under-11 girls’ team has won the title at the ac- claimed Robbie International Tournament in Scarborough. Pickering defeated a strong Brams United squad 1-0 in a game at Birchmount Stadium that featured excitement from beginning to end. The intensity and level of emotion were clear from the start and continued until the final whistle. Both teams alter- nated between offence and de- fence, creating dangerous situa- tions but were unable to put the ball in the net. After a scoreless first half, both teams seemed deadlocked in a battle destined for overtime. Finally, with 10 minutes to go, Pickering sent a pass through to the left side of the Brams’ area, where through great skill and tenacity, two players beat the defence and with a lighting shot beat the goalkeeper from what seemed to be an impossible angle. Brams United fought back through the final 10 minutes of play, but couldn’t score the equalizer. Pickering sweeper Krystle Ferdinand and forward Nicole Roche, who scored four goals in the five tournament games, earned most valuable player awards. In the semifinal, Pickering was matched against Ajax Unit- ed, a team that had enjoyed a successful first round. Early on, the game was fought on equal terms, Ajax playing great soc- cer and Pickering maintaining their tactical scheme with disci- plined defensive and midfield play. It was in the second half when Pickering blew the game open with continued attacking pressure that resulted in a 3-0 win. Pickering finally beat archri- val Oshawa Kicks 1-0 in a tense, hard-fought battle to open group play. Power next faced Oakville Impact, a club known for high-calibre play. Power dominated the game from beginning to end and was rewarded with a convincing 2-0 win. The final game of the first round featured Pickering against the Glen Shields Devils in difficult, windy conditions. Once again, Power came out with a clear 2-0 victory, thus earning a berth in the semifi- nals. The Robbie victory is yet another jewel in what is turning out to be a crown season for the Pickering team. Power also captured the championship at the Newmarket Sunoco tourna- ment and was finalists at the Mississauga International Tour- nament. In league play, the club placed second in the Central Girls Soccer League Division 1 level. Other team members are Channon Traill, Kathleen Cran- dles, Dana Clumpus,Alexa Mc- Cartney, Chelsea Gordon, Mar- lee Foster, Breanna Van Abbe- ma, Kate Walkom, Kristen Or- rett, Vanessa Garcia, Zita Wheatcroft, Amanda Garcia, Sarah Bedford, Amy Evans and Ashley Phillip. The team is coached by Mark Orrett, the trainer is Jeanne Phillip and team manag- er is Monique Garcia. The Pickering Power under-11 girls rep soccer team shows off the impressive hardware they won with a 1-0 victory over Brams United in the final of the Robbie International Tournament. Pickering boots Robbie opponents MVPs Ferdinand and Roche lead under-11 girls to five wins Peewee selects reach consolation finals But Tigers too much during Royal York visit PICKERING —The round-robin games were a breeze, but the Pickering Ontario Power Generation select minor peewee baseball team struggled in the playoffs during the recent Royal York Tournament. In the consolation finals against the Mississauga Tigers, Pickering almost overcame a 9-4 deficit before finally succumbing 10-9. Tyler Henderson turned in a three-hit performance, while Mitchell Oke, Evan Boileau, Jeff Han- non, Iain Smook and Ryan McMackin whacked out a pair of hits. Smook also made an outstanding catch in left field. In the semifinals, a few timely hits paced the Mississauga Bengals to a 6-3 victory. McMackin, Boileau and Adam Hurley each swatted a pair of hits, while Hurley, Eric Wilton, Eric Watson and Kyle Smeelen all turned in solid efforts on the mound. The locals swept their three round- robin games, including a pair of lop- sided victories. Pickering started with a 7-6 win over the Tigers, with solid pitching from Wat- son in picking up the win, while Hurley and Smeelen came on in relief. Wilton led the offence with three hits and three runs scored, while Oke also crossed the dish three times. Boileau was a machine, driving in four runs. Forest Glen was next and Pickering made easy work of them, winning 11-1, as the mercy rule was invoked after four innings. Hurley threw smoke from the mound, striking out five, while Wilton and Smook did the relief work. Hannon drove the offence with two singles and Oke belted a double. The Mississauga Titans were no match for Pickering, as the selects prevailed 13-3 in another game that was stopped by the mercy rule. Wilton picked up the pitching win, with Smeelen closing out the game. An- drew Adamic picked up an RBI with a bunt and Henderson, Oke, Boileau and Smook smacked two hits apiece. John Smeelen, Al McMackin, Larry Henderson and Peter Hurley coach the team.

The Blackstock teen fund is now at $2,832.50, said founder Terri-Dawn Fallis. Another $1,884 has been do- nated to purchase wish-list items for the boys. “I can’t say too much but a lot of the items they’ve put down on their list aren’t material items. They’re things you can’t buy, like ‘peace of mind’,” she said. Durham Regional Police ar- rested a 49-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman earlier this month, alleging the couple had for years locked their two adopt- ed male children in cribs and forced them to wear diapers. They were released at a bail hearing last week, while the chil- dren, now in their teens, are in the care of the Durham Children’s Aid Society. Police also arrested a 28-year- old Port Perry man who they de- scribe only as “a member of the extended family”. Police allege the man, whose name was withheld, participated at times in the disciplining of the children, although he has co-op- erated with detectives. He was released on an ‘offi- cer’s undertaking’ with condi- tions that include he not associate with either of the parents or the children involved in the case. A 10-page card full of “hun- dreds” of signatures from well- wishers is expected to reach the boys through the CAS next week. At the same time, they will re- ceive some of their wish-list items. “They are going to be given them in bits and pieces,” ex- plained Ms. Fallis. “We don’t want to overwhelm them by giving them a great big load of gifts right away, especial- ly if they are in homes with other (foster) children. “ We don’t want the others to feel bad.” That may mean saving some of the items for birthdays and Christmases, or purchasing items like a basketball hoop, which can be enjoyed by the entire house- hold, she said. Ms. Fallis and her daughter, Ashley, set up the fund and com- munity card signings soon after the arrests in an effort to reach out to the teens. Since then, the fund has gone nationwide and signings are being planned for other areas around Durham. “We’ve had a good turnout. I’m not surprised,” said Ms. Fal- lis. “Who would not want to do this? Everyone was looking for a way to express how they felt.” Contributions to the fund can be made at any CIBC branch in Canada.

Most businesses advertise for the following reasons: * sell a specific product * sell a service * increase customer traffic * increase sales volume * keep the business name before the public * inform the market of new products/services * build image in the market * to combat competition How do you design an ad that sells? Start by making your ad easily recognizable through distinctive use of art (logos, graphics), layout and typeface in comparison to your competitors. Keep it simple. The layout should carry the reader’s eye through the message easily and in proper sequence - from headline to illustration to explanatory copy to price to store name. Avoid overuse of typefaces, overly decorative borders and large areas with small type. Many advertisers make the mistake of thinking more is better and try to jam too much information in the space they have purchased. All this method does is make the ad visually unappealing and confuse the potential reader. A highly effective way to draw the reader’s attention to an ad is with an illustration. Studies have shown that an ad with artwork that takes up 50% or more of the ad space increases readership by as much as 37%. Equally important is the headline - it’s a key part of the sales message which draws the reader into the rest of the ad. Keep these simple tips in mind next time you’re working to create and effective ad.
