Nuclear fuel mechanism fails at plant OPG says ‘no fuel spilled’ PICKERING —A fuel el- evator at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station was stuck for 20 minutes Thursday, but OPG officials say all is well. Pat O’Brien, Pickering nu- clear public affairs manager, said while fuel was being transferred at Pickering Unit 5, the transfer elevator became stuck. After 20 minutes the mechanism was freed and nor- mal fuel handling resumed. He said the event took place in a contained space where re- mote-controlled machines do all the work and no employees were in the area. He added tests showed no elevated levels of radiation in- side the reactor building and JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo All together now...

The Ward 3 Regional councillor said he will ask Pickering council on Monday to direct the Ontario Environment Ministry to do an en- vironmental audit of land at Hwy. 7 and Sideline 16 where the al- leged incident occurred. The accusation was brought to Coun. Johnson’s attention by resi- dent and local business owner Leslie Fisher, who said he wit- nessed material being dropped in the area. “I saw asphalt being dumped there for sure,” said Mr. Fisher, adding, “I drove back and forth in the area and they were stockpiling asphalt, the next thing I knew the area was covered... I’m not 100- per cent sure, but it may have been moved.” However, SLF Joint Venture, the company responsible for build- ing Hwy. 407, said there must be some misunderstanding. “In that area there was recon- struction of a part of Hwy. 7 but there wasn’t asphalt dumped,” said project manager Albert Sweetnam. “We used a part of the road base to rebuild Hwy. 7 at Sideline 16... we reused the materials, there was no dumping, not that I’m aware of.” Mr. Sweetnam added he finds the accusations “surprising” be- cause there was an environmental See CITY page 2 See NUCLEAR page 5 Transit GOes back to the Province Government to spend billions over 10 years BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Regional politi- cians seem eager to hop on board a plan for the Province to take back responsibility for GO Transit. However, they’re wondering how much it will cost Durham to go along for the ride. “Our new $9-billion transit plan will keep Ontario’s people moving quickly, safely and efficiently,” Premier Mike Harris said Thurs- day, in announcing the Province’s plans to take back responsibility for operations and capital funding for GO Transit from the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB). “This appears to be a good news announcement for Durham Re- gion,” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said Thursday afternoon See GO page 4 Two Great Places!

Mr. Sweetnam also noted SLF contracts out all con- struction related to the 407. “Construction was done in an environmentally sound manner,” he said, adding “If any of our subcontractors had done something con- trary to environmentally sound practices we would correct it immediately.” Richard Lindgren, a lawyer with the Canadian Environmental Law Associ- ation in Toronto, is currently working on an unrelated case involving the dumping and burying of asphalt on in the Ottawa area and said there are environmental laws prohibiting the prac- tice. He added there are joint ministries of Transportation and Environment guidelines in place regarding the reusing of waste asphalt.

The review stems from the new hospital funding formula which gives bonuses to the most efficient hospitals, he said. “Our position is it’s unrealistic to include us at this point ... because we’re under hospi- tal redevelopment,” he said. Renovations mean one-third of the Oshawa site is unusable at any time and Lakeridge is now renting several sites for programs being offered off-site, he said. The health ministry has agreed to that and is funding the extra costs, he said. Mr. Ouellette said the situation is more se- rious than that. “If that were the case, why aren’t all the other hospitals under reconstruc- tion in the same situation?” he asked. “To my knowledge, there aren’t any other hospitals under review by the ministry.” He said the review is being done to ensure money allocated to the hospital by the Province is being used appropriately. David Jensen, a communications officer with the health ministry, said he couldn’t con- firm Mr. Ouellette’s comments. “We are considering a focused examina- tion of the hospital’s operations, looking at the impact of restructuring on the hospital,” he said. “We’re in discussions with the hospital about how to proceed and what the next step is.” The examination would look at what im- pact restructuring and the capital projects are having on operations, he said. Mr. Lemon said the review will also inves- tigate the recommendations from the Health Services Restructuring Commission, which wanted projects completed by 2003. A num- ber of things won’t be done by then and the Province and Lakeridge will look at possible aspects of the construction plan, he said. Some components may be changed because of that, he said. Lakeridge is hoping the review will start soon, since it could take from four to six months to complete, he said. This could have an impact on “how we build out the rest of the building,” especially with the next phase, he said.

Premier Harris said the Province will invest $3 billion over 10 years into transit; will attempt to partner with the federal government on infrastructure funding with each level contributing $300 million; will partner with the private sector to put $9 billion into public transit; and will establish a new smart growth council for the Golden Horse- shoe — one of five new councils to be established across the province. One of the most significant aspects of the an- nouncement for Durham is the Province’s plan to take back respon- sibility for GO Transit from the municipalities (through the GTSB), said Mr. Anderson. The Province will cre- ate a new operat- ing authority to co-ordinate ser- vices, freeing up the $106 million currently pooled by the GTA mu- nicipalities to the services board for GO. Durham’s share of the pool- ing was $12 mil- lion. The munici- palities can rein- vest that money into local transit systems, the pre- mier said. Yet at the same time, the premier also announced the Province will expect Ontario municipalities to contribute $300 million annually to transit capital. On Thursday, Durham politi- cians were still trying to assess whether the an- nouncement will require them to spend more, or less, toward tran- sit investment. “The devil will be in the details,” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. The Province taking over GO “certain- ly would be a good thing. It’s signalling the Province realizes it must be a play- er in transit in the GTA.” However, he added while mu- nicipalities might have to contribute less, “it’s not clear how much the property taxpayer will fund. It’s too sketchy to get into those details. “There’s also no say in how much say we have in the system. It’s kind of silent on that. “If the Province is taking over and makes all the decisions and we’re funding some, I have a prob- lem there.” Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner react- ed positively to the announcement. “This is one less capital headache,” he said. “From a Picker- ing perspective this is a great thing.” Coun. Brenner said if next year’s regional budget were to be the same as 2001, there would be an “extra $14 million that could go to various other services in the Region”.

We’ve also watched a tremen- dous outpouring of kindness and generosity offered not only by the military, but corpo- rate and private citizens alike. All of them wanting to help in any way they can — from making available office space or homes to victims and volunteers as a place to rest or sleep, to donating their time and, in a lot of cases, literally their blood, to help save a life. It truly is com- forting to see all denominations working to- gether as one race — the human race. I was appalled as I listened to a traveller tell his story of how it was necessary that the American flight he and his family were on be diverted to our Toronto Airport as a safety manoeuvre. While most Canadians were offering help and support to stranded travellers, the hotel chain he approached ap- parently saw this as a way to make a quick dollar. He was offered a room at a rate in- flated by 200 per cent. When he com- plained, they agreed to lower the rate by a paltry $80. Note, this same hotel chain of- fers rooms from $29.95 to $69.95 US on its Internet ad. Granted, businesses are sup- posed to make a profit, but under these cir- cumstances one would think hotels would empathize by lowering their rates, or taking a loss and writing it off as goodwill. How many other unsuspecting families were overcharged? How many other families slept on the floor at the airport because they couldn’t afford accommodation? Just as we cannot condemn a country for the actions of a few terrorists, we cannot condemn the hotel industry for certain greedy franchisees trying to cash in on someone else’s plight. Fay L.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 28, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com The soon to be late, not-so-Greater Toronto Services Board, will die a fast and painless death in the near future. Its demise will go unlamented by most Regional politicians in Durham. From the start the GTSB was a curious beast. Created by a provincial government that went out of its way to reduce politi- cians, school boards and municipalities wherever it could, this new level of government made little sense. The GTSB was created when amalgamation was the buzzword of Ontario political life. What was the logic of another level of government when the number of school boards was cut in half, when the number of trustees, councillors, municipalities, public service workers — you name it — was slashed? The theory was the GTSB would be responsible for public transit throughout the Greater Toronto Area. But as it came clos- er to reality, the GTSB looked like it would also take control of land-use policies throughout the GTA. Not only did the GTSB not follow the Tory Common Sense revolution agenda, it made little political sense. Alienating popu- lar municipal politicians throughout the ‘True Blue’ 905 area is no way to maintain solid political support going into the next provincial election. Surely the Tories saw the writing on the wall, heard from the raft of MPPs and cabinet ministers (Jim Flaherty, Janet Ecker and Chris Hodgson in Durham alone) and figured, best to eat up the lion’s share of the public transit bill in order to eliminate the GTSB. Municipal leaders in Durham, for the most part, never grew comfortable with the GTSB. Decisions always seemed to have a Toronto-Peel-Halton tinge to them with Durham and York left out in the cold. The rich, most-developed part of the GTA would only get more, while York and Durham would be left scrambling for what they could get. A 10-year, $9-billion commitment from the Province ensures GO services will be expanded and improved as the GTA increas- es in population. While highway expansion is needed — bring on the Hwy. 407 extension right through Durham as fast as possible please — the future will depend on vastly improved rail service. One final note: the end of the GTSB should also signal the death knell of amalgamation in the four 905 regions. The premier did speak to this issue before the last municipal elections. With the GTSB out of the way as a potential government form, re- gional and municipal government seems secure. That’s probably the way most people in Durham want it. Nobody really wants to go through the messy process of amalgamation, though the process of cost-saving and improved efficiency among neigh- bouring municipalities must continue. GTSB just never made Common Sense Tories finally heed wishes of municipalities and pull plug on extra level of government Each year, the last week of Sep- tember is celebrated by the American Library Association (ALA) as Banned Book Week. Started in 1981 as a response to in- creasing pressure to censor and ban books from public libraries, the week reminds Americans to not take for granted the freedom to read all types of literature. In Canada, Freedom to Read Week (Feb. 24 to March 3, 2002) has a sim- ilar focus because books are being challenged every day in our libraries, schools and even at the border. Last year’s debate over the use of the Harry Potter series of books in Durham classrooms brought the issue of ban- ning books into our proverbial back- yard. I said it at the time and I will say it again — banning books serves no use- ful purpose and limits opportunities for critical thinking and judgment. Children, and yes, even adults, can only grow if given the opportunity to read all types of literature. Pat Scales, a librarian and author of ‘Teaching Banned Books’ argues there are im- portant lessons to be learned from banned books. Parents should read the book with their child and open a dia- logue to discuss themes and issues raised. They should talk about the reasons some people may feel the book should be banned and encourage reading the entire book before forming an opin- ion. I found the list of the most fre- quently challenged books from 1990 to 2000 on the ALA Web site, alarm- ing. Imagine not being able to read works such as ‘Lord of the Flies,’ the ‘Goosebumps’ series, ‘The Adven- tures of Huckleberry Finn,’ ‘Go Ask Alice’and the ‘Harry Potter’series. An idea in Chicago to encourage all adults and adolescents to read the same book at the same time has been creating a great deal of media atten- tion. Their chosen book, the Pulitzer Prize winning, ‘To Kill a Mocking- bird’, by Harper Lee is also on the list as being one of the most frequently challenged classics in the United States. Banned Book Week is a great opportunity to take a journey to the local library and read one (or more) of the books on the “challenged” list. As a mother, I see it as my respon- sibility to encourage my children to learn about new ideas and concepts, particularly those which are not my own. I want to raise my children to be critical thinkers able to recognize and accept cultural/religious differences and learn to live in an ever-changing society. I wish the same for all chil- dren.

Nutritious eating - think chick- en wraps, veggie dips, pasta salads - is on the rise according to Chartwells, a food service compa- ny which handles cafeteria sup- plies for 800 schools across Cana- da including 13 high schools in Durham. Chartwells encourages nutri- tious lunches and even promotes choices which replace grease with greens. Every day the company has a healthier eating choice on the menu which is displayed to attract the curious and thrifty. Nutritious foods are being made more conve- nient and creative; for some teens it’s working. “Certainly grab-and-go items are necessary and our best sellers and we have to make the grab-and- go choices convenient and healthy opposed to grabbing French fries on the run,” said Leslie Sawyer, marketing manager for Chartwells. “I think we needed to become more creative because we had to keep up with the quick-service restaurants.” “There is more demand for veg- etarian dishes,” said Alice Kim- merer, operations supervisor for Chartwells School Dining Ser- vices. “We have a healthy selec- tion and we reduce the price to en- courage them to buy healthy foods. “We are producing more than what we used to, especially wraps and veggie and dips,” she added. In a large school 40-50 veggie and dip mixes are sold and wraps go into the hundreds. She said what they don’t sell very much of is white milk. Mrs. Kimmerer said sometimes parents are misled by their chil- dren to believe high school cafete- rias don’t sell healthy foods. She gave the example of a mother whose son liked to go out for pizza every day and told her he did that because the school only sold soda crackers and pop. The angry mother called Mrs. Kimmer- er and found out the wide selection of nutrition actually offered. “All the healthy eating is avail- able but you can’t make someone buy it,” said Mrs. Kimmerer. “That’s what they want to eat in schools. Parents aren’t there to tell them what to eat so they can make their own choice,” she added. “We can’t say to young people they can’t have it because mom said veggie and dip today.” In her 28 years supplying food to the Durham School Board, Mrs. Kimmerer has noticed an increase in healthier choices, especially the chicken Caesar wraps, but said the lunch line for fries and pizza is still longer. However, foods many people con- sider as junk - such as pizza and chocolate milk - is not. “I never classify food as a good food or a bad food because I think any food can be part of a healthy diet,” said Krista Witherspoon, registered dietician with Lakeridge Health. “Chocolate is fine within a healthy diet, fries are fine, fruit loops are fine, but it depends on the whole diet,” she added. “I think that’s where we get into trouble is labelling things as junk food,” said Mrs. Witherspoon. “Depending on what’s in it (pizza), you’ve got bread, you’ve got cheese, vegetables, meat in some cases... I think it’s got a fair mix of nutrients in it.” Teenagers need a lot of calcium so something such as a milkshake isn’t a bad thing choice. Even the hamburger-fry-pop combo isn’t the worst meal in the world to eat, but long-term problems can occur if a child falls into the fast-food habit, making it more than a meal, but a diet. “Kids need to see the value in healthy eating before they’re going to change...they need to see the immediate benefit,” said Mrs. Witherspoon. When parents prepare meals for their teens, instead of looking at calorie content, they should be looking at the variety of nutrients in foods. A meal with three out of the four food groups in it is a wise choice, she said. Teenagers need about the same amount of vitamins as adults with the exception of iron (meat) and calcium (milk), which they need a lot more of. “The trend for healthier eating is everywhere and kids are so ex- posed to it now that they know what’s bad, although they’re al- ways going to want their French fries too,” said Mrs. Sawyer.

Discharge emitting from berms built to block sound at the Oshawa Skeet and Gun Club at Harmony and Coates roads in Oshawa was found to be leak- ing sewage, according to a study by Gartner Lee Ltd, a consultant hired by the Region, said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical officer of health. As well, the study indicated the berms, which are supposed to be made from the product ‘Sound-Sorb’ — a combination of approximately 70-per cent paper fibre waste and 30-per cent sand — contain far less sand in some of the tested areas, calling into question the integrity of the product, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said at Thursday’s Regional health and social services committee. At the meeting, the chairman called for charges to be laid on the operator of the berm, Skip Am- brose, or the gun club, which owns the land. “The fact is there is sewage on that site without a certificate of approval. That says to me charges can be laid,” the chairman said to committee mem- bers. However, Dr. Kyle recommended to the committee that the proper course for the Region to follow would be to call on the Ontario Environment Min- istry to investigate laying charges and the requiring of a cleanup of the site under the Environmental Protection Act. The health and social services com- mittee recommended Regional council request the ministry complete an inves- tigation and create an order for clean- up of the site in three weeks and that it carry out groundwater and air studies in the area by the end of November. Geoff Carpentier, a supervisor in the ministry’s York-Durham office said an investigation is under way based on preliminary information the office re- ceived from the Durham health depart- ment. Mr. Carpentier said if illegal dis- posal of sewage waste has occurred, charges involving “a significant mone- tary fine and imprisonment” are a pos- sibility. However, he suggested the three-week timeline might be unrealis- tic. When contacted, Mr. Ambrose said he had no comment, as he had not yet seen any reports indicating there was sewage contained in the berm. Gerry Gagnon, president of the Skeet and Gun Club said if there is sewage waste contained in the berm, the club was unaware of it. “We didn’t put it there. It was supposed to be Sound-Sorb and we were assured there was nothing wrong with it (environ- mentally).” Members of a local residents’coali- tion, Protect the Ridges, said it is hope- ful some answers can be found to ques- tions it has been asking about the safe- ty of the site over the last two years.

A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 28, 2001 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer PICKERING —Spirit Days are nothing new at Maple Ridge Public School. In fact, they’ve been held for years after events such as the January 1999 ice storm and other disasters, and following the death of a student. But last Friday was a day symbolizing the importance of freedom, peace and harmony after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the United States. It gave the Pickering students an opportu- nity, through art, words and fund-raising, to talk about the tragedy and overcome its linger- ing effects on their own lives. “We just wanted the students to be aware of the disaster and what peace and freedom mean to us,” said educational assistant Susan Berrey. “Everybody’s doing something different.” Grade 6 teacher Collette Luscombe used a book, ‘Voices of the Heart’, to help students express themselves. The stu- dents created artwork based on artistic interpretations of Chi- nese characters for words like wrath, ability and doubt. The students had the option of writ- ing a message on the back of their pieces, some of which are to be sent to New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Ms. Luscombe said her stu- dents have reacted in different ways to that horrible Tuesday. For some, it happened far away in another country and is distant from their lives. Others, she said, were “stricken” by the dis- aster. “The art is a good healing process, I find, with children,” she said. Vasili Palatnzas’s word was ‘evil’, characterized in the book as meaning, “the heart can’t ex- press its goodness.” His piece shows wooden barriers in front of a heart. “What happened on Tuesday Sept. 11 was tragic,” Vasili wrote. “America will not stop until they find those responsible for that evil act. Canada be- lieves in America and its peo- ple.” Carly Sellen’s word was ‘re- spect’, and her piece shows two hands meeting, symbolizing “people respecting each other”, and “reaching out into the heart,” she said. Joel St. John’s word, ‘wrath’, shows a knife slicing through a heart against a background of flames. “In my picture, the knife is piercing the heart and dividing the world,” he said. Ms. Luscombe said the pro- ject prompted students to dis- cuss what they have seen and heard from their parents. “When they have been work- ing on this, when you walk around you hear them talking about it,” she said. “This is the best support — the support of their peers.” In Susan Arthurs’ class, the Grade 1 teacher used a map of the world to show students where New York City is, and then circled where the U.S. is searching for those they believe to be responsible. Students were reflecting on the word, ‘peace’. “We’ve decided that peace means not fighting,” said Ms. Arthurs. Turning to the students, she asked, “what are some of the things you can do to be peace- ful?” “Don’t get into any fights with bad guys,” a student re- sponded. Another said being peaceful means not shouting at someone and calling them names. Students in all grades were encouraged to bring in a toonie, with all money collected to be donated to the Canadian Red Cross and forwarded to the re- lief efforts in the U.S. On Friday afternoon Ms. Berrey reported that with money still coming in, the school had raised roughly $850.

Sale $1,895 BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —An environmen- tal assessment begins next month on a fusion research facility pro- posed for Clarington. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) recently re- leased the draft outline for the EA process on ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Re- actor), a research project that scien- tists hope will result in a new ener- gy source for the world. Canada is vying to host the $12-billion facili- ty and, if successful, will build the project on the Courtice-Bow- manville border between the Dar- lington Generating Station and St. Mary’s Cement. As part of the EA process, the ITER Institute must conduct a number of technical studies that will “include the effects on every- thing” in the community, from en- vironmental impacts to the burden on local infrastructure such as roads and sewer systems, said Katherine Moshonas, the director of regulatory affairs for the ITER Institute. The EA is a requirement of the facility’s licensing if Canada is cho- sen as the site for the project, she explained at a Town Hall meeting held last week in Newcastle. A de- cision on where the facility — a collaboration between Japan, the European Union, Russia and Cana- da — will be located is expected to be announced in June 2002. About 60 residents, predomi- nantly from the Clarington area, at- tended the meeting to ask questions on the safety, financing, benefits and risks of hosting the institute. Some of the answers provided by the ITER Institute and ITER Canada panel included: • The site will “largely be paid for by other countries” than Canada with a treaty agreement and upfront trust fund created to ensure all part- ners assist in financing decommis- sioning, overruns or costs associat- ed with construction delays; • The Ontario government has committed $300 million to the pro- ject while the federal government has no financial obligation to it. Many Canadian private companies, including Ontario Power Genera- tion, have committed to investing in the facility and Canada’s bid to host it; • Ontario Power Generation will sell the land for the site and the tri- tium required for the research as part of a package, which includes the sale of all the electricity needs of the facility. ITER would become OPG’s largest customer. Not all of the power would come from the Darlington Generating Station; • The fusion process is “very, very safe” with “no potential for a runaway reaction” as there is with nuclear fission. If something goes wrong in the process, it “shuts down”; • The release of radioactivity in water from the research is expected to be “1/1000 to 1/10,000” the amount a “newer nuclear facility” such as the Darlington Generating Station would discharge; • The facility will not generate an energy product. It is a research facility only and is the last step in research before a demonstration plant is built in 2030 to be followed by the first commercial plant slated for 2050. The location for those has not been selected yet; and • When the research project is completed, the buildings will possi- bly be used to house other high- technology projects, which could take advantage of the equipment used in the research. More town hall meetings will be held in the next several months as part of the EA process, Ms. Moshonas noted. Also last week, the Ontario gov- ernment reconfirmed its support of the ITER project at a meeting with federal and provincial ministers. Jim Wilson, Ontario’s energy, sci- ence and technology minister en- couraged the federal government to establish a research fund to “offset the indirect costs of research”.

(416) 293-3900 HOME BUYERS!! FREE HOUSE HUNTING SERVICE! Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said he is not aware of any possible bids from the City. Despite the stiff competition from her regional counterparts Os- hawa Mayor Nancy Diamond is confident the project will be built on the original earmarked site. “We have been ready, willing and more than able for the last five years with our site. We know our site meets every requirement of the Province,” she said. Mayor Diamond said the quali- fication process, with its $500 fee, and the fact each bidder must have a site will eliminate the “would- be” organizations and those not “truly serious” about the project. All applications will be evalu- ated by Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP under the auspices of the On- tario SuperBuild Corporation. Submissions are due by noon on Nov. 15. Those applicants who meet all qualifications will be asked to de- velop detailed submissions for building, financing and operating the facility. Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaher- ty declined comment on the pro- ject saying it would be inappropri- ate due to his position as finance minister and his responsibility for the Ontario SuperBuild Corpora- tion. Adding to the courthouse con- troversy is the suggestion a new regional headquarters should be built in conjunction with it. Clarington Mayor John Mutton sees the potential for a “public-pri- vate partnership” between the Re- gion and the courthouse owner. “When Durham Region is looking at doing a headquarters, it’s only cost-effective looking at doing a joint venture,” said the mayor, noting the Region’s request for proposal on the headquarters is for “anywhere in Durham Region, not just beside the Town of Whit- by’s building.” Province looks for interest in new consolidated facility BY CINDY UPSHALL Staff Writer DURHAM —The competition to grab Durham’s consolidated courthouse has intensified with news the Province is looking for interested developers. And at least two potential suitors in Ajax have lined up for a shot. Attorney General David Young an- nounced last Friday the Province will be accepting a request for qualifications from developers interested in partner- ing with the provincial government to design, construct, finance, own and op- erate the 350,000 square foot court- house. The new courthouse will consolidate courtrooms, prisoner handling and judi- ciary functions into one specialized high-security facility. Currently, court- house locations are split into six sites across the Region and it’s felt the facil- ities won’t be able to meet future popu- lation and caseload demand. Originally announced in 1995 for Oshawa, the courthouse was part of a wave of pre-election plums handed out by then premier Bob Rae. No move- ment on the project has occurred since, which was initially earmarked for va- cant City-owned property at the corner of Bond and Mary streets. This inaction led to speculation that the massive project could be relocated to another area in Durham, specifically Whitby. One suggested site is the Nordeagle business park development on Victoria Street near the Sobey’s warehouse. Friday’s announcement has resur- rected the debate among Durham’s mu- nicipalities as to where the courthouse should be located. “I still feel Whitby has been the headquarters for courts in the area be- fore the formation of the Province and it should continue to be,” said Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle. The mayor has been very vocal over the past couple of years that the new court building should be built within the borders of his municipality. “We have a number of applicants who have made themselves known to me who will be making an application,” he said. “Four of these are outstanding companies who have a very good chance of being successful.” In addition to Whitby, the Town of Ajax announced late last year that it had canvassed developers on their interest to secure the courthouse for Ajax. At that time Runnymede Developments advised the Town it was interested in pursuing the courthouse for a 28-acre parcel of land it owns north of theatres located at Hwy. 2 and Pickering Beach Road. A second proposal has been put for- ward from the Verona Mall site, at Har- wood Avenue and Bayly Street. “As part of the package the owners submitted, we gave a letter of support to both sites,” Mayor Steve Parish said. “Ajax would certainly welcome a cour- thouse. It would be a great benefit to the Town.” He added, “Ajax is a long shot. Tra- ditionally, the courthouse is in Oshawa. The only way Ajax would get it is if one of those two owners put forward a cost- effective bid. We might come to the top. “The Town will do what it could” to help with the bid. “We’ll try to make the proposal as attractive as possible.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 28, 2001 Ajax developers eye new courthouse Please recycle!Read local news online at durhamregion.com50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARYThe Area’s ONLY Full Line LA-Z-Boy Dealer 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 1-800-642-4561 (905) 723-5211 * Not To Be Combined With Best Value Prices.

Clothes dryers are taken for granted in most homes. They can operate trouble free year after year however, when not properly maintained a clothes dryer can cause numerous problems including: • House fires • High utility bills • Costly repairs • Structural damage to the home Major fire hazards associated with clothes dryers include: • Lack of maintenance • Improper installation (venting) • Accumulation of lint • Use of plastic or foil ducts Odds are that the last time you saw the inside of the clothes dryer was when you hooked up the dryer. Inadequate mainte- nance is the leading cause of dryer fires, and lint is the material which usually ignites. Even well cleaned lint screens remove only 75% of the lint produced. In addition, other things can clog your dryer vents, from birds nests to general debris that finds its way into the vent itself. Reduced airflow and the resulting lint build-up cause overheating by pre- venting rapid drying action. When this happens, the “high temperature limit” safety switch has to cycle on and off con- tinuously to control the heater. These switches were never designed to cycle on and off continuously which can cause them to fail over a period of time. Warning signs of inadequate dryer vent- ing may include: • Clothes (especially towels or jeans) which take a very long time to dry • Clothes which are hotter than usual at the end of the cycle • When the flapper on the vent hood doesn’t open when the dryer is on If a fire occurs, it will often start within the drum of the dryer and be fueled by lint that has accumulated in the dryer cabinet. In the event that plastic ducting is used to vent the dryer instead of metal ducting, the fire will NOT be con- tained with the dryer if the plastic ducting ignites or melts. Some designs of clothes dryers are prone to lint build up if the exhaust is located at the top of the dryer. In this case, the lint has to move against gravity which increases the likelihood that it will accumulate within the duct or settle between the rotating drum and the dryer cabinet. Therefore, the vents and metal ducts should be inspected and cleaned on a reg- ular basis. It is extremely important to have a qualified service technician clean the inside of the dryer cabinet every two or three years, or more frequently, depending upon usage. Never attempt to dismantle a dryer to clean the lint between the dryer drum and the heat element. Contact a professional technician to do that type of work. A key to effective dryer performance is optimal airflow. A properly installed all metal dryer vent will help ensure this air- flow. Exhaust duct for electric dryers should be solid metallic material. Plastic/vinyl and foil are combustible. In particular, exhaust duct on gas dryers MUST be metallic as the duct also serves as the flue for exhaust gas from the burn- er. Metal venting also resists crushing bet- ter than vinyl or foil, allowing the air and lint to be carried out of the system with more ease. Furthermore, proper unobstructed venting can decrease both drying time and Now that fall is upon us we tend to turn our attention to the chal- lenges of decorating our house.

BY JANE STOKES Special to the News Advertiser “This year,” I suggested, trying to tempt my friends, “Let’s plan a week in Huatul- co.” “What? Where?” they mocked. At this point I guess they were unimpressed. “Huatulco,” I repeated, pointing to a southern mark in the state of Oaxaca on the Pa- cific side of Mexico. “We’re going where sunshine is the main attraction, and where rainless days are well over the 300 mark each year.” As it turns out, the original Huatulco was a prime fishing village in the heart of Zapotec tribal life. That heritage has long given way to tourist de- velopment, but thanks to a measure of eco-sensitive guidelines, the destination is now a cluster of low-rise resort properties next to nature around the Bay of Tangolunda. Here, over eons, a seascape was born from the crushing force of the Pacific Ocean. It sculpted, from sheer rock face, a dozen or more sandy cres- cents on a backdrop of moun- tain peaks, swaying palm trees and blues-on-blue. So, consider all that sun- shine, add daily temperatures at 28 C, add all the food and drink and fun of a four-star re- sort, and you can see why we became a deliriously happy lot. And why not? The all-in- clusive Gala Resort Huatulco was constantly pampering us with all-you-can-eat breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. There was lots of choice at both the beach location, and the main dining room, plus long, mealtime hours for those who refuse to rush. It was up to us to take from the week ex- actly what we wanted: a get- away of suntanning, rest and selective seclusion; or one brimming with activities. As it turned out, we shaped the va- cation into a combination of the two. Fitness classes began for example at 9:30 a.m. followed by water volleyball, aerobics, scuba and snorkeling instruc- tion, sailing, kayaking, wind- surfing, and tennis. On most weeks Canadians share this Huatulco paradise with a smattering of Americans and Europeans, but mainly with well-to-do Mexican families who drive or fly from Mexico City. The Gala Resort is also ex- cellent with children, offering them as part of the all-inclu- sive deal, several hours of fully-supervised fun. Parents were encouraged at the first- day “welcome meeting”, held by Air Transat Holidays, to feel confident about register- ing them for activities such as softball, ceramic painting, sandcastle-making, snorkelling, swimming and even windsurfing lessons with pint-size equipment in the kid- die pool.” So for Huatulco, pack light- weight clothes and swimsuits and resort-wear for dinner, and don’t forget the sun block. Those 300 rainless days gener- ally happen between October and May — exactly the time you and I will definitely want to go. Ask your travel agent for details outlined in the Air Transat Holidays winter brochure. –– News Canada You have travel questions, we have travel answers Air travel comfort Q:Do you have any tips on keeping comfortable during air journeys, in particular, overnight flights to Europe? Our family members are all quite tall. — J.B., Oshawa, Ont. A:Give yourself extra leg room by using overhead bins where possible for carry-on baggage. For better sleep periods, dress in layers for changes in cabin temperatures, bring ear plugs, eye patches, and an in- flatable neck rest. You might want to try an upgrade occasionally. On Air Transat’s Airbus and Lockheed aircraft for example, you could travel in their Club Transat for a small additional fee.

Dominican Republic choices Q:We’d like to return to the Dominican Republic. We’ve always stayed in Puerto Plata at the Occidental Flamenco Beach Resort, but this time we’d like to try a different part of the island. We notice these all-inclusive Occidental re- sorts are also in Sosua and Punta Cana. Can you tell us a little bit about these places? — N.N., St. John, N.B. A:Occidental Hotels are located in five spots across the Dominican: two in Puerto Plata, and the others in Sosua, Santo Domingo and Punta Cana. Sosua is a 10-miles trip east of Puerto Plata, following a strip of beautiful beaches along the coastal highway. Its ambiance is considered more intimate than Puerto Plata. In Sosua all the restaurants, re- sorts, and clubs are within walking distance of each other and the Occidental resort here is La Esplanada Hotel. Punta Cana is an east-coast resort area, lined with coconut palms and long, white-sand stretches. Beach life here in- cludes boating, windsurfing, scuba diving and horseback riding. People come to golf, to game fish, play the tables and slots, and dance the night away with merengue. Punta Cana beaches are rated as some of the best in the Caribbean and the Occidental resort is the Flamenco Bavaro. — News Canada Travel tip: Before setting out on any extended road trip, be sure the family vehicle is just as ready as your family is to hit the open road.

After all, the local run was merely a satellite site with first- time organizers hoping a few hundred runners might show up and raise a re- spectable $25,000. To say they were pleasantly surprise is a mas- sive understate- ment. “We were considered a satellite site,” said Carole Keys, co-director for the local site committee and a breast cancer sur- vivor. “We had been told be- cause we were a satellite, we would be lucky to raise $25,000. But that’s not the way it turned out. Once the registration fees from the 1,300 participants, plus individual and corporate spon- sor donations were tallied, the not-so-fledgling Durham site had raised a whop- ping $135,000. “The funds raised support for breast cancer re- search, educa- tion, diagnosis and treatment,” added Mrs. Keys. “The Run for the Cure is the largest single na- tional fund-raiser (for breast can- cer) and is orga- nized entirely by volunteers and we’re very proud and grateful to the many volun- teers in Durham who donate their time and energy to the run. Their support and com- mitment is the backbone of our success. Our steering commit- tee works dili- gently through- out the year from January through to November each year.” This year Mrs. Keys and her team are basking in the glow of well-earned ‘national site’ status and are aiming for 2,000 partici- pants this Sunday, Sept. 30, hoping to raise as much as $250,000. Seventy-five per cent of the net run revenue is available for grants allocated to support breast cancer research studies, projects and ini- tiatives in regions holding runs. But these are early days for the one-year-old Durham Run for the Cure. Its volunteers did meet with the foundation’s advisers in June and now know what the require- ments are for applying for a grant. The CIBC Run for the Cure is the Canadian Breast Cancer Foun- dation’s main fund-raising event and also serves to kick off breast cancer awareness month, in Octo- ber. The run raised more than $9.3 million last year from 29 sites across Canada. Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the national run with 32 sites this year and a goal of $12 million. Breast cancer is the single biggest killer of Canadian women between the ages of 35 and 55. One in nine Canadian women can expect to develop breast cancer during their lifetime and one in 25 will die from this disease. Breast cancer can also strike men. Three per cent of all breast cancer occurs in males. Entry forms for Durham’s Sec- ond Annual Run for the Cure are available at any Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch and at the Running Room in Whitby. The easiest way to register is online at www.cbcf.org. Final registration and donation drop-off begins at 8 a.m. in the gymnasium at Durham College with the run scheduled to start at 10 a.m. For more information, call the local hotline at 905-571-3486 or go to the Run’s Web site.

The group is in the last phase of its million-dollar campaign for a new cen- tral library branch. A door-to-door can- vass is planned for Saturday, Sept. 29 and people are needed for the blitz. The goal is to reach 1,000 homes. Ajax council approved a new 30,000-square-foot library and the pro- ject, which includes the branch next to the Town Hall, an expanded parking lot and other amenities, has a $10-million price tag. The new library will replace the cur- rent 16,000-sq.-ft. facility, last ex- panded in the early 1970s. All donations to the Friends are tax deductible and contributions of $100 or more will be acknowledged with names on the builders’wall.

Directed by Ben Stiller. Derek Zoolander (Stiller) is shallow, self-obsessed and has lost his position as the number-1 model. After being hired by a rogue CIA agent (Taylor) to stop a se- cret cartel of political assassins posing as male models, he is brainwashed by the mysterious Katinka (Jovovich) into assassi- nating the president of Malaysia. While Derek tries to infiltrate the fashion/assassin clique led by mean-spirited designer Mugatu, he must also contend with Hansel, a dense, on-the-rise male model who threatens to sabotage his mission — as well as his modelling career.

Directed by Scott Hicks. In the summer of 1960, Ted Brautigan (Hopkins) moves into the boarding house where 11- year-old Bobby Garfield lives with his mother Liz. Since Bobby’s father died when he was six, he is at first ap- prehensive of this strange man, but soon the two become friends. He asks Bobby to keep his eyes open and his senses sharp, for Ted has a magical power of in- sight that has led to him being hunted by shadowy figures. Meanwhile Bobby’s life is changing too. His friendship with a girl named Carol has grown into something more. This is the last summer of his childhood and Bobby is becoming aware there is a bigger and darker world out there. Soon, both Bobby and Ted are being threatened: Bobby by local bullies and Ted by the sinister fig- ures who follow him.

Shelley Beach is one of many Durham artists taking part in the 10th annual Studio Tour, hosted by the Station Gallery in Whitby, this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The Studio Tour, as its brochure pro- claims, is a chance for the public to “dis- cover and visit the artists from all parts of Durham Region”. It’s the third time Beach’s Pickering home will be turned into a gallery to exhib- it the width and breadth of her varied art collection. Most of all, it’s a chance for artists of all stripes — from potters to painters — to show their work. “It’s quite a broad variety of artists. There are a lot of the same faces (on the tour) and a lot of new ones, too,” noted Ms. Beach. “They seem to have a change (of artists) every year.” The art in Ms. Beach’s home is a testi- monial to her more than 20 years in the wa- tercolour medium. She explored her artistic muse in the medium in the late 1970s in a creative arts course at Georgian College in Barrie where she was taken under the wing of her mentor, Graham Scholes. Since then, she has been singular in her passion for the genre — teaching classes and workshops for the City of Pickering since 1988, in ad- dition to heading watercolour classes at Curry’s and The Station Gallery in Whitby for several years. “The medium of watercolour has been my first love since the first time I tried it,” explained Mrs. Beach. “It’s such an excit- ing medium for me. It’s challenging, ex- tremely challenging. I like the fluid nature of it. I see an image and I respond to that image and the painting evolves. I start to paint and I see something nice is happening so I go with that.” Her love of gardening and the outdoors has spawned numerous unique floral paint- ings that adorn the walls of her Pickering home. Her work also pays homage to the natural beauty of the Haliburton area — the site of the family cottage on one of the area’s pristine lakes. “I love the outdoors and I’ve been a cot- tager my whole life. I tend to work later in the day when the light is low. I’ll hop in a boat and anchor at the end of the lake and capture a scene right from the water.” Her artistic alter ego is working in the medium of monotype, a form of printmak- ing that brings together a medley of colours, textures and objects, mostly based in nature, to uniquely capture an image. “I’ve worked in watercolour so long that I have to keep changing and evolving. I can work in one medium then go back to an- other,” she said. “They kind of feed off one another. In a way it has felt more creative for me because it’s breaking new ground and it allows me to experiment. When I come back to watercolour I have a renewed energy.” As a professional artist, Ms. Beach has sold seven commissioned works of local heritage buildings this year to the Veridian Corporation that adorn the walls of the company’s boardroom. She continues her art education as a third-year, full-time student at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto where she has put aside watercolours in favour of studying art using acrylic paint as well as paper-making, mould-making and sculpture. “It’s a lifelong pursuit, it really is,” she said. For information on the Studio Tour, call 905-665-1441. AL RIVETT/ News Advertiser photo Pickering-based artist Shelley Beach joins other local artists this weekend in the 10th annual Studio Tour.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665PLAY LPA A C E DRIVE THRU THANKSGIVING SNAPSHOTS Thanksgiving will soon be upon us. It’s time to think of a special dessert that will be good enough to follow your family Thanksgiving dinner and bring that thunderous applause you so richly deserve for all your hard work. What about a frozen Dairy Queen cake? One of the most common questions asked at our store is “Who makes your cakes and where are they delivered from”. When I tell our customers that we have our own cake decorators and that we make our cakes from scratch right here in the store they always seem surprised. You will even be more surprised to know the process we use in our cake department. We have a number of staff who can either make or decorate cakes and we are training more all the time. On the Father’s Day Weekend our cake department sold over 400 cakes. About the process. We have a separate 3 spigot soft serve machine in our cake department used only for making cakes. You can see how our cakes are made on the TV monitor’s in the front of the store. First layers of our rich creamy chocolate soft serve are woven into a cake form. Then a layer of cookie crunch and fudge is added in the center. Next layers of rich creamy vanilla soft serve are spread over the top. The cake form is then removed and the finished “cake blank”, as we call it, is flash frozen in our hardening freezers. That means that your fresh creamy soft serve cake goes from the spigot to the flash freezer in a matter of minutes! Next our cake decorators go to work. First we have over 200 jell and computer generated designs for you to choose from when you come into the store. Our decorators take your design and put it into a projector and then your cake blank is placed under the projector and the design is finished in the colours you want. Then the cake borders are done in a special creamy whipped icing and your cake is finished. We also have premade edible images featuring some great designs in unbelievable colour. But the latest innovation is cake imaging or Snapshot cakes. Bring us your favourite picture and we will scan it into our computer, add copy to it and run it off on edible rice paper and place it on the cake. The results are spectacular! Or you can choose from the 80 to 100 cakes that we have on display at all times and have the cake personalized while you wait. The special this week? Order a DQ frozen cake or pick one up from the display freezers and receive a free litre of frozen soft serve. GOOD UNTIL OCTOBER 15, 2001. Don’t forget our layered cakes.

Air & Hotel Air & Hotel Cruise BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —It’s been so far so good this season for the St. Mary Mon- archs, the odds-on favourite to capture the regional gridiron title this season. Last season, the Catholic secondary school team finished a win short of play- ing for the Metro Bowl Championship, which denotes high school football su- premacy in southern Ontario. St. Mary met a top-notch foe in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish of Burlington in the Metro Bowl semifinals, losing 21-0 at York University last November. Along the way, the Monarchs defeated the Picker- ing High School Trojans for the Durham crown, and then sidelined the Markham District Secondary School Marauders in the Metro Bowl quarter-finals. This year, the Monarchs are armed and ready for another run at the Metro Bowl title. The team, noted head coach and former CFLer Gordon Judges, is es- sentially the same one from 2000. “I think we’re every bit as strong as we were last year,” said Judges. “Perhaps we’re even stronger, but we haven’t been able to make that determination as yet. We’re really strong defensively and our offence is pretty sharp. Our biggest ques- tion mark is at the quarterback position.” The Monarchs lost veteran pivot Rocco Cicciarella to graduation and have replaced him with the family duo of Erik and Sasha Glavic — both following in the footsteps of older brother Marko Glavic, a one-time Durham and provin- cial all-star pivot for the Monarchs who has gone on to star for the Lafayette Col- lege Leopards of Easton, Pennsylvania on an athletic scholarship. “I don’t want to put any extra pres- sure on them, but if they pan out at quar- terback we would have an even stronger offence,” said Judges. Both the Monarchs’ offence and de- fence looked to be in mid-season form against Pickering rival, the Dunbarton High School Spartans, last week, with St. Mary posting a 35-0 victory. “We were able to shut down their run totally,” he said. “When they did pass they weren’t too hampered by the rain, but we had good coverage on them. The only success they had were a few first downs with their passing game. Defen- sively, we played pretty well.” Monarchs’running back Justin Malik who scored two touchdowns on the ground. Receiver Ryan D’Sousza hooked up with the Glavic brothers for two touchdowns through the air. Ryaan McMillan also supplied a major and kicker Dane Okrasa added a field goal and two converts. Would anything less than a Metro Bowl appearance constitute a step back- wards for the program? Judges said sim- ply his charges will take it one step at a time. “Our main objective is to play foot- ball as best we can and, so far, we’re achieving that,” he explained. “We know that Henry Street is a much-improved, tougher team this year and Denis O’- Connor and Pine Ridge also have good teams. There are a lot of good foes this year. If we didn’t go all the way this year or as far as we did last year, it wouldn’t be disappointing. If they give their top effort, we’re going to do well. I’m confi- dent we can win our league and take it one step at a time from there.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 28, 2001 PAGE 27 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 28, 2001 JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Talk to the hand PICKERING — Ajax-Pickering Dolphins’ ball carrier Kyle Exume (19) fights off Burlington Stampeders’ Chris LoPresti (20) during Central Ontario Minor Football League peewee division action. The game was played at Kinsmen Park Sunday. Monarchs eye gridiron reign Peewee reps drop close 3-2 win to Barrie in bid for final PICKERING —The Pick- ering Red Sox minor peewee rep baseball team was a semifinalist at the Ontario Baseball Associa- tion (OBA) Championships in Niagara Falls recently. Playing five games in two days, two requiring extra in- nings, the Sox were in tough against Barrie in the semifinal contest in the eight-team tour- ney. With Barrie in the lead enter- ing the bottom of the seventh in- ning, Pickering cut the lead to one run with the tying and win- ning runs on base. A tremendous defensive play by Barrie derailed the Red Sox’s rally attempt in a narrow 3-2 loss. In the quarter-finals, Picker- ing drew the difficult task of playing the Toronto champs — East York. With the game tied 4- 4, Pickering brought in the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Impressive Red Sox pitching and defence helped shut down East York. Pickering opened the OBA tournament against Barrie, eking out a 6-5 victory in extra innings. The Red Sox exacted a mea- sure of revenge over the Windsor Expos in Game 2. After having lost a tournament championship to the Expos earlier in the sea- son, Pickering was up to the task this time, hammering Windsor 11-3. Pickering lost its first game of the tournament, a 4-3 extra-in- ning affair to Guelph in Game 3. The Red Sox qualified for the OBA championships after sweeping last year’s OBA cham- pion Whitby in an exciting two- game series. Red Sox minor peewee team members are Robert Carman, Kevin Haggarty, Travis Hendry, Mark Hoyne, Kyle Kotchie, Michael McFarlane, Ross Nor- man, Daniel Pineau, Stan Pon, Matthew Redding, Chris Rose and Ryan Turner. Mike Carman, Dave Hindley, Richard Hoyne and Jeff Redding coach the team. The manager is Bernie Rose. Sox semi-satisfied with provincials DEER CREEK & GLEN CEDARS G.C.

President John Oortwyn says both services are offered because that’s what their cus- tomers were asking for. “More and more people are looking for one stop shopping when planning a wedding,” he says. “We feel that the decorat- ing service compliments our catering.” John’s wife Anita is super- vises this service so give her a call and she’ll sit down with you and work out all of the details. “You can have everything from simple to elaborate,” she says. “What ever fits into your budget.” All of the work will be done the day of your event and taken down that night or the next day. Of course when it comes to planning your meal Bunny;s Catering is the preferred choice because of their trusted and respected reputation in Durham Region and beyond. John says the dinner you serve your guests is one of the most important parts of any wedding. “That’s why it has to be there when you need it and pre- pared to perfection,” he says. Bunny’s Catering has had plenty of practice perfecting its craft of catering to the culinary needs of its clients. Since 1963, couples have chosen Bunny's Catering to make their meal a memorable experience at an affordable price They also choose them because Bunny’s, knows tim- ing is everything. John says, that above all, his clients want everything to go as planned and that means getting the food to the hall right before dinner is scheduled to be served. “Through our many years of experience, we know how long it takes to get to every hall in Durham,” he says. “And when you’re doing three or four weddings in one day, it’s essen- tial that everyone works as a team to get the food to the client when they need it.” John says taking the time to find the right caterer can not only ensure the right timing but can also save lots of money for the small amount of time invested in looking for one. For your meal, Bunny's will help you find the perfect courses to suit your budget and you can choose from a wide variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts. You can also choose three different dinner styles includ- ing plate, buffet or the very popular country style. "Most prefer the country- style, where the food is set on the table and you can pick and choose what you want," says John. "You can also have as much as you want because our staff keeps your table full." It's suggested you book three months to a year in advance, depending on whether or not you want your wedding day during the prime months of May, June or September, rather than the slower months of the year. On the day of the wedding, Bunny's uniformed staff will serve your dinner and take care of all the clean up. Bunny's can cater dinners, small or large, as well as cock- tail receptions, which are becoming popular with many couples. For information call 434- 2444 or visit their office at 350 Marwood Drive in Oshawa. Bunny’s Catering takes care of all your food and decorating needs The owners of Bunny’s Catering in Oshawa are from left, Nancy,Ted, Anita and John Oortwyn.

PICKERING RECREATION COMPLEX ADVERTISING FEATURE Weathering Your Wedding Day By Kathy Scott Multi-Ad Services No matter how much you plan, the weather may not be perfect for your wed- ding day. But here are some seasonal aspects to consider when planning the big day. If your wedding date is planned for the rainy, humid season of summer, consider having your wedding in the morning. The majority of thunderstorms don’t occur until the afternoon hours. As well as trying to beat the rain, you can beat the heat. Provide yourself and your guests with a cool atmos- phere. If not an air-condi- tioned church and reception area, then give them paper fans and plenty of cool water. The turning leaves may be the perfect setting for this turning point in your life. The reds, golds, purples and oranges will provide an incredible background for your wedding. The weather, though, is again a considera- tion. If you marry in the East, South or Southeast, you will have to think about hurricanes. You don’t want to have several hundred guests blown away to the Land of Oz. Even if you are safely far away from a hurri- cane threat, you should still think about crisp, breezy weather. Take heaters with you if the ceremony is being held in an unheated build- ing. If vows will be spoken amidst the fall foliage, keep them short and then warm up your guests and your- selves with some hot choco- late or cider. Snow is falling, ice crystals are forming pretty patterns on the window, your bouquets include ever- greens and white bows, and your guests arrive in boots. It’s a winter wedding and the church is warm and embracing. As picturesque as this sounds, what hap- pens if the gently falling snow becomes a blizzard or an ice storm just hours before your wedding? The key here is to anticipate and prepare. Make absolutely sure you have a way to con- tact all people involved so they will know you have to move the wedding or recep- tion, or have to postpone the event. Spring is a beautiful time of year to have a wed- ding. Life is beginning anew as you vow to love and cher- ish your spouse-to-be. Yes, spring is when Mother Nature reintroduces her glory and, depending on your wedding day and site, possibly her fury. If you plan to marry in the Midwest you could be in for a doozy of a storm. Spring is the prime time for severe thunder- storms, large hail and torna- does. It would behoove you to have alternate plans ready. If your wedding is planned for outside, see that your guests are well protect- ed and dry. You may want to pick up an umbrella or two for yourself as well. Even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can still have a lovely wedding. Just make sure you’ve planned for anything Mother Nature might throw at you.

TO 4 P.M. PICKERING RECREATION COMPLEX ADVERTISING FEATURE Countdown To The Big WeddingDay By Kathy Scott Multi-Ad Services The countdown is on to your big day. Here’s a rundown of how to plan the next couple of months. Eight weeks and counting… By this time, you should have the dresses ordered and, hopefully, in hand. If you’ve not started alterations, make an appointment right away. Tuxedos should also be chosen and ready for pick-up. Make sure your cake is ordered to your satisfaction. Double-check that the reception site, the photographer and the caterer are still booked as planned. It is time to mail your invitations. Your maid of honor can help you address them, but be sure the return address is that of the person paying for and planning the reception. Also, this is the party to whom the RSVP will go. Start making plans for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Talk with the officiant of your ceremony. Inform your bridal party as to the date and time of the rehearsal. Also let them know how they should dress for this event. If you’re planning a cookout, jeans will be acceptable attire for the evening. If you’ve reserved a room in a nice restaurant, you might suggest dresses and/or business casual attire. Schedule the bridesmaids’ lun- cheon. This is a time for you and your bridesmaids to relax and enjoy a peaceful meal together amidst the hurry and scurry of wedding plans. Plan a meal that is not a lot of work or expense for you. A good setting for your bridesmaids’ luncheon may be where you usually meet with freinds or a place where you will all be com- fortable. Have you had a shower yet? No, not that kind of shower! I mean a bridal shower. Now would be a great time to “prod” your maid of honor if you haven’t had that event yet. It is also time to talk with the maid of honor and best man about the bachelor and bachelorette parties. The current trend is to have fairly mild get- togethers several weeks before the wedding date. More and more couples opt to forego wild and crazy bashes for quiet, simple getaways with special friends. If you choose to have an all- out fiesta, make sure you have a desig- nated driver. Five weeks and counting… It’s time to solidify plans for transportation from home to the wedding site and from the wed- ding site to the reception site. Buy the gifts for your attendants. Purchase your wedding rings if that has not been done, and dou- ble-check the amount of time it will take to size those rings. You should also have your engagement portrait taken and submit it to local newspapers. Investigate the cost of publishing your announcement. Some news- papers charge up to $50.00, depending on the amount of information you want to divulge. Four weeks and counting… Now is the time to get that final dress fitting. Talk with your hair stylist and nail technician about makeup, colors and hairstyles. Try them out. See what you like. Hand out checklists to friends and family members helping with the wedding. They will appreciate the help and your organizational skills. Once you have your final guest list, contact the caterer with the count, and plan the seating arrangements. Then all you have to do is print the programs, make the favors and find a guest book. Oh, and don’t forget to relax! Canada’s leading Wedding Registry offers you the most comprehensive registry package to inspire you with our extensive assortment of home fashions and to simplify gift giving for your guests across Canada and online.
