Reactor restart bid may hit snag Pickering councillor wants approval tied to more liability insurance BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING ––A City councillor here wants his colleagues to reconsider their support for restarting the Pickering ‘A’nuclear reactors. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said he will be asking council Monday night to reverse its pre- vious support in order to tie in a condition that changes be made to the Nuclear Liability Act. “When you are starting up a new reactor the risk fac- tor increases,” he said, adding that the $75 million lia- bility insurance currently required by the act is insuffi- cient. “Just how far will $75 million go if anything hap- pens in Pickering like it did in New York?” Coun. Brenner said the terrorist attacks in the U.S. prompted his change in attitude towards the restart at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, believing now that even the most unimaginable tragedy is possible. He said he wants Pickering residents and their property to be properly protected in the event of a nuclear disaster, something he said the current Nuclear Liability Act does not do. “Can anybody take anything for granted anymore?” he said. “Can any of us go to bed at night thinking the worst is not going to happen? Our sense of security was shattered Sept. 11; now we know nothing is fail-safe.” The nuclear act, which does not hold operators liable for any damage if a nuclear incident is the result of an act of war, is currently getting another look by Natural Resources Canada. “The entire act is under review,” said Pat Breton, press secretary for the minister of natural resources, adding ongoing discussions and consultations with stakeholders will result in a formal consultation paper coming shortly. “It’s being reviewed to see if there are Village fire cause still being probed AJAX —The cause of a fire that heavily damaged a garden cen- tre in Pickering Village is still un- determined. Thom Evered, of the Ajax Fire and Emergency Services, said the Durham Regional Police are still investigating. “The police and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office are doing their followup interviews,” Mr. Evered said. The fire at the King Westney 2000 nursery on Hwy. 2 just west of Westney Road, happened early on Tuesday, Sept. 25. Police and fire services evacuated about 80 homes surrounding the site. Damage is estimated at $200,000, Mr. Evered said, with about $100,000 to the building and another $100,000 to the contents.

In a speech Thursday, Premier Mike Harris told municipalities there would be an opportunity for GTA municipalities to take the money currently being pooled into a transit fund with the Greater Toronto Services Board and reinvest it in local transit. “If I understand the premier correctly, that could mean Taunton Road could be widened a year sooner,” said the chairman, who added other road expansion projects including Simcoe Street North, Rossland Road and Lak- eridge Road could also be ex- panded sooner than anticipated to help the flow of traffic through the region as it continues to grow. Public transit investment would also be key, he added. “I would love to see an inte- grated Regional transit system,” he said. “I believe it would be well-received by all residents if you could get on one bus and go from one end of Durham Region to the other and into other re- gions. A co-ordinated plan, an in- tegrated plan doesn’t just go to your borders.” Mr. Anderson pointed to York Region as an example, noting it recently switched from municipal systems to a region-wide system. While Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond said she is also a sup- porter of integrated service, her vision is somewhat different from the chairman’s. She believes with the demise of the GTSB, the Re- gion should stop collecting money for transit from the munic- ipalities and allow them to rein- vest in existing systems. “The premier did not create this money to be sloughed off to somebody’s wish list,” said Mayor Diamond. “I would not take this as rationalization for a change of how transit is delivered in the Region. We already have transit with known, established needs.” Mayor Diamond noted when the Province downloaded trans- portation responsibilities onto municipalities, it took away key funding for capital investment into public transit such as bus re- placement. Now that the munici- palities will be able to direct the funding, it should go into main- taining what already exists. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said he also has concerns about the Region spending the money for regional projects when four of the Region’s eight municipalities have transit systems. “In some way I think this money has to flow back to the transit providers,” said Mayor Parish. “Transit can’t be operated by the Region. There are only three transit systems in Durham,” he noted. “It’s wrong to use that money for anything other than transit.” Currently Ajax-Pickering op- erates an integrated system and Whitby and Oshawa each operate their own bus systems. Clarington has a service agreement in place with Oshawa for a loop through Courtice and is reviewing options that could see further service ex- tension. Scugog and Uxbridge have GO service but no municipal bus systems The Ajax mayor said the only way he would support the money being used for regional road im- provements would be if it was in- vested into bus or high occupancy vehicle lanes, not just “as a sub- sidy to private automobiles”. Mayor Parish said there are still many questions regarding ex- actly how much municipalities will have to pay toward transit and if that money will come from development charges or property taxpayers. And, he added, it’s a question municipalities cannot wait long to hear the answer. The 2002 budget process begins soon and these issues will impact that process significantly, he said.

Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean said at Monday’s com- mittee of the whole meeting he has concerns following a recent News Advertiser story that the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby (PAW) Animal Control Centre eutha- nized 328 animals last year, while only adopting out 80 of the 542 animals admitted. The remainder were claimed by their owners. “Sixty per cent of our animals are being euthanized,” said Coun. McLean. He asked for and received committee support to have City staff prepare a report on Picker- ing’s involvement in PAW. “Something is obviously wrong and something has to be done,” he said. Coun. McLean said he was as- tounded by the fact that, accord- ing to local animal shelter statis- tics, other centres around Durham are admitting more pets while adopting out a larger por- tion and killing fewer animals. The statistics show PAW’s an- nual budget reached $621,900, of which Pickering contributed over $200,000. Meanwhile, in Scugog/Uxbridge, the budget is $120,000, with 1,072 animals ad- mitted, 784 adopted, and 134 eu- thanized. In Clarington the numbers were $286,000, 818, 486 and 35 respectively. Oshawa Animal Ser- vices did not have figures for 2000, but for this year until July, the statistics are 782, 235 and 325. Its budget this year is $225,700. Don McKay, clerk at the Town of Whitby, which handles the day-to-day operations of PAW, said in an interview that he was shocked by the concerns. He noted Coun. McLean is on the joint municipal animal con- trol committee responsible for setting the policies and proce- dures for PAW and is a member of Pickering council, which ap- proves those same policies. “Not once did he raise these concerns with me or the PAW committee,” he explained. “This comes as a shock and as a sur- prise and I haven’t had the oppor- tunity to discuss this with Coun- cillor McLean yet.” Mr. McKay said he takes issue with some of the statistics in the story and has asked animal con- trol centres around the region to provide him with numbers for his own comparison. “Until I have all the facts and figures all I’ll say is that the poli- cies and procedures for the entire animal control are directed by the Pickering, Ajax and Whitby ani- mal control committee and those policies are approved by munici- pal councils,” he said. Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland noted he also has concerns over the dis- posal of the euthanized animals. “They can’t afford to cremate this many animals and so we’re just sending them to landfills,” he said. “This is not working... we need some kind of solution.” While PAW supervisor Sylvie Koch confirmed they do dispose of euthanized animals in land- fills, she defended the practice, claiming it is the policy of other animal control centres as well. “We’re not the only ones who do it,” she said. “It’s expensive to cremate.” Staff will consider several dif- ferent options for animal control in Pickering, including the City taking responsibility for its own operation, maintaining the status quo with improvements, or sourc- ing out to a private- or publicly- run facility. “I know the councillors from Pickering as well as Ajax share my concerns,” said Coun. McLean in an interview. At last Wednesday’s PAW committee in Ajax, Coun. McLean said they decided to ask the municipalities of Clarington, Uxbridge, and Oshawa for their figures for the purpose of com- parison to PAW. “The numbers in the paper for PAW weren’t far off,” he said in an interview last week “We just want to see if our dollars are being spent the same as their dol- lars.” The comparison is expected to be discussed at the next Paw committee meeting set for Oct. 17 at 5 p.m. in the Ajax Town Hall.

He said $650 million is the new international stan- dard and “in the ball park” of the final figure they hope to reach, adding “liability amounts will be revised and revised upwards”. But, for Coun. Brenner, discussions and consultations are not enough. “Talk is cheap, I want to see action,” he said. “What happens if anything should happen tomorrow or in a week? Who will compensate the people in our communi- ty?” The current legislation states in the event of a nu- clear incident where liability exceeds $75 million, the fed- eral government could step in and provide additional com- pensation, but Coun. Brenner remains dissatisfied. “It’s up to their political will, although I’m sure the government would consider stepping in. The government is strapped as is and there’s no guarantees to homeown- ers that they will be compen- sated,” he said. “We have to protect the people of our community.” Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at Pickering nu- clear, said he agrees the lia- bility numbers should be looked at and said legislation could come as early as next year, reflecting the consulta- tions currently under way by Natural Resources Canada. “This is in keeping with Europe and the U.S. which are also reviewing their pub- lic liability and moving it to a number that’s more realistic in today’s world,” he said. “The current legislation was passed in the 1970s and I think everybody would agree it’s time that it was updated.” PICKERING from page 1 MAURICE BRENNER ‘Talk is cheap, I want to see action.’ PICKERING —A series of work- shops in October could lead to a job.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Proposed legislation would take strong action to better protect On- tario students from sexual abuse, says Education Minis- ter Janet Ecker. “It is the intention to make sure there are clear, tough, consistent rules across the province for those who would abuse our students,” she said in an interview Thursday. ‘The Student Protection Act’was introduced Wednes- day at Queen’s Park. If passed, it would require all employers of certified teachers to report to the On- tario College of Teachers if an educator is charged with a sexual offence against a stu- dent. It would define sexual abuse to encompass sexual harassment, and ensure any teacher in a publicly funded school is taken out of the classroom if charged with sexual assault against a stu- dent. The act would also make it clear that a teacher would not have to inform a colleague if they are submit- ting a sexual abuse report about them. Employers who break reporting rules would face a fine of up to $25,000. “I certainly support the legislation from what I’ve seen,” said Craig Burch, em- ployee relations superinten- dent at the Durham District School Board. “And I don’t think it will be tremendously different from the practice at the Durham District School Board.” He said the board “certainly reports to the col- lege of teachers any teacher we think has done something disreputable in any kind of sexual offence”. Ms. Ecker said the legisla- tion would also improve in- formation sharing between employers and the Ontario College of Teachers. An employer who has taken action to limit a teach- ers’ access to students would have to inform the college, she said. Similarly, the col- lege would be bound to in- form an employer if it took action against a teacher. Ms. Ecker said boards have been known to with- draw intended action against a teacher if the employee agrees to leave the board, which left open the possibili- ty the person could go on to reoffend elsewhere. Bill Butcher, Durham president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of On- tario (ETFO), said “it struck him as odd” that the proposed bill would only address teachers. “What about the other people in the building?” he asked. “It’s an unacceptable offence regardless of who commits it, but the legislation only addresses teachers.” Mr. Butcher wondered if the Province was thinking of an upcoming election in in- troducing the bill, since much of what he has seen in the legislation is already in place at school boards. He believes “teachers would feel no qualms” about reporting colleagues. Ms. Ecker emphasized “everyone recognizes that the vast majority of teachers have and deserve the respect and the trust of parents, students and their colleagues”.

With all the stumbling and bumbling the PM has portrayed to Canadians and other countries I am sure our government and true Canadians are looked upon as a weak partner in this hour of need. You can say what you wish about the U.S. and/or President George W. Bush, but we are in a position of standing to- gether against these terrorists. Canada could be next. We also have the weak-kneed Elinor Caplan, immigration minister, who has al- lowed anybody and everybody into our country, including one suspected terrorist lived in Toronto for six years. How did this happen? But do not worry because Ms. Caplan has given us complete assurances that she knows they can do better — “that’s why we are working on it”. In the meantime all hell could break loose in Canada while the PM and his followers hide in their shelters. If I reflect upon this atrocity correctly, the Liberal government must stand up and be counted and the PM must take a stronger position for our country and quit travelling the globe and playing golf with Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods.

How can a college president qualify as the top ‘business’person? Top administrator, top educator, top civil servant maybe, but top business person? Did someone make a mistake? Not at all. Mr. Polonsky has shown a true entrepreneurial spirit in every- thing he’s done since he took over the post as Durham College pres- ident a dozen years ago. His efforts to expand the college’s focus, to bring in a balanced budget every year, to get full value for every last dollar it receives, is testament to his business acumen. Furthermore, the dynamic college head has worked tirelessly to strengthen ties with Trent and York universities, to present an intel- ligent plan to expand Durham College north of Conlin Road and to develop campuses around the region. He has provided a guarantee to employers that Durham College graduates will live up to expectations. He’s also been careful to lis- ten to the concerns of students and to make sure the education they receive is value for their money. His sound business principles have served Durham College very well and have made our community college one of the best in Cana- da. But Mr. Polonsky was not content to stop there. His vision for Durham Region was more sophisticated, more for- ward-thinking, more grand. He saw the need to establish a universi- ty in Durham that would offer cutting-edge high-tech courses. Such an educational facility could be merged seamlessly with Durham College where administrative duties between the college and uni- versity could be shared. Students could have the option of mixing college and university courses to build for themselves a diploma/de- gree that offers the best of both worlds. This was Mr. Polonsky’s dream and this past May after years of work, it became a beautiful reality. The Ontario Institute of Tech- nology is scheduled to open its doors in two years time. This crowning achievement was not accomplished by Mr. Polon- sky alone, something he was quick to acknowledge in his speech to members of the chamber on Thursday. “I’m taking this one for the team. It’s not just a college achievement but a community achieve- ment and that’s the spirit in which I’m here.” The bottom line with OIT is that it will generate millions of dol- lars for Durham Region and will draw businesses here in decades to come. So, Mr. Polonsky as business person of the year? There couldn’t be a better choice. Business person of the year? You bet Excellence, financial acumen, tireless leadership all hallmarks of Gary Polonsky Be careful what you wish for. It seems just about six in 10 Canadians would exchange part of our sovereignty for greater security across North America against fu- ture terrorist attacks. (Isn’t it fright- ening how real the possibility seems in light of Sept. 11?) At least that’s what a poll out this week is telling us. True, these numbers may be a bit inflated given the relatively lit- tle distance in time since the cow- ardly attacks on thousands of inno- cent people in the U.S. But they just as easily could signal a new yearning for our southern neigh- bour. Say goodbye to the days of look- ing down our noses at Americans while we tout all that’s right with our country, and say hello to a na- tion ready to run, not walk, to curl up in the warm embrace of the U.S. Be careful what you wish for. With stronger ties to the U.S., with it as our keeper, comes in- creased political awakening to our great land. As it stands, we have lit- tle military presence, we have a prime minister who was mistaken for a plate of fries and gravy, and we don’t even rate a mention in the same breath as the El Salvadors and Mexicos of the world. Say goodbye to our international image as a one of the best places in the world to live peacefully, and hello to a quasi-American presence ripe for targeting and attention. Be careful what you wish for. As we sit so eager to strengthen these security ties, is anyone ques- tioning or wondering what’s next? How long until it’s a ‘natural exten- sion’ to intertwine other govern- ment departments, agencies and, heaven help us, our methods of governing? How long until it ‘only makes sense’ to eliminate our bor- der altogether, until the argument is put forth to use the American dollar and, say it isn’t so, we’re made a series of states? Say goodbye to pride in a coun- try that offers health care for every- one, a nation that’s clean, relatively crime-free, and well-educated, and a home where everyone has a voice and where you’ll find some of the most incredible wonders and beau- ty in the world. And say hello to, well, American citizenship. Now in no way is this intended as a slight of the admirable pride Americans have for their country or their way of life. It’s just a re- minder of all that makes Canada the greatest country in the world. So, be careful what you wish for. Be careful what you wish for Canada Increased bond with America would bring security, but at what price? Tony Doyle News Editor tdoyle@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 30, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM —It started out as a tool for academics and the military, yet in the past 30 years, the Internet has changed forever the way we live. It seems everyone or everything has a Web site. The Net, along with other electronic in- ventions and initiatives, has also changed everyday life. You can buy groceries, clothes, music, or just about anything else, on the Internet. For instance, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, bought a Lear jet on the Net. You can select makes and models, arrange financing and buy a new vehicle — all via computer. With advances in electronics, it seems the bank teller could go the way of the blacksmith. The Canadian Bankers Association re- ports 85 per cent of all banking transac- tions are done electronically. Since 1994, telephone banking has in- creased by 50 per cent annually, while computer and Internet banking has gone up 10 per cent each year and debit card use by 91 per cent. The association also notes more than 60 per cent of customers do most of their banking electronically. “I think what we’re seeing is branches being used for different things, such as ad- vice or more complex needs,” said Sharon Wilks, the organization’s media relation’s manager. The routine transactions done electron- ically include making deposits and with- drawals, and transferring money between accounts, she adds. Ms. Wilks notes most people have their paycheques deposited electronically. Even welfare cheques are electronically deposit- ed. “We’re already seeing branches (being used) more for advice and complex trans- actions,” she says. Complex transactions include negotiat- ing mortgages and buying mutual funds. “People will research mortgages on the Web, but they still want to sit down with a financial adviser. Or they’ll go for mutual funds,” Ms. Wilks says. “These are slightly more complex or to sort something out, they’ll go into a branch.” The survey, completed for the associa- tion in March of last year by The Strategic Counsel, also found technology has be- come important in the financial planning done by Canadians. “Technology has clearly emerged as an important issue for Canadians when it comes to their personal financial affairs,” says Strategic president Chris Kelly. “While Canadians appear to have em- braced technology for things like conduct- ing their financial transactions — 63 per cent use telephone, ABMs (automated banking machine) or Internet as primary means of conducting bank transactions — they also view technology as having a dra- matic impact on their lives. Clearly issues like technology and the Internet will have a profound impact on individual’s finan- cial affairs.” So why are more people embracing technology? Put simply, it’s easy. “More than three-quarters describe the technologies already available to them at their financial institutions as making per- sonal banking more convenient,” Mr. Kelly says. “Three-quarters of Canadians report that technology and the Internet have changed business ‘a great deal’. Further, there is a parallel and pervasive view among Canadians that the use of technology and the Internet by business are important and, in fact, critical to growth within the domestic economy.” More than 70 per cent of Canadians ex- pect they’ll use the Internet to conduct their banking. Even among those 65 and older, a group generally thought to be technology-averse, almost half believe technology will change the way they conduct business with a fi- nancial institution. What does the future hold? Some ABMs in the United States offer non-fi- nancial services, such as travel services and transit passes. The CBA reports Canadian ABMs will in the future provide financial services, such as mortgage and loan applications, mutual funds, RRSP deposits, foreign ex- change and insurance. Most of the major Canadian banks are now offering, or will soon provide, mobile banking services through digital cell- phones and other wireless devices. While still in the early stages, this form of bank- ing presently offers such services as re- viewing recent transactions, retail and in- vestment account balances, and paying bills. Not everyone is enamoured with com- puterized banking. Small business owner Alex Khoei of Pickering notes his bank has cashed post-dated cheques earlier than the date on the cheque. And, he claims, money was taken out of his personal account without his approval just before Christmas last year. He had written a cheque for $4,988.23, thinking he had almost $6,000. “I complained several times. Guess what. They (bank employees) said the computer made the error, not them,” Mr. Khoei says. “I’m a computer engineer. Don’t you think I might know that a computer can’t recognize signatures of every customer un- less each and every signature is encoded or scanned by the computer?” The problems, he adds, have been going on for a few years. “I hear more from other people com- plaining that either their money was taken out or lost and they had more problems trying to find out because the teller or per- sonnel wouldn’t give the information as to whom took the money or made the mis- take,” Mr. Khoei says. The Internet, meanwhile, is also a tool for those interested in doing research be- fore investing. Research is something just about every financial adviser suggests people do prior to risking their money. Chris Ardagh, of Ardagh Financial Inc. of Ajax, has found clients have “definitely done more research. It’s not so much the Internet, but they are taking an interest. They’re watching the news, seeing what’s in print.” He notes between 70 and 75 per cent of the firm’s clients are 65 years and older and they “have no affinity for the Internet. The Internet is more for the younger, com- puter savvy people.” Older clients, he says, “much more pre- fer to get a phone call from us. They want to hear from us.” Mr. Ardagh notes that younger clients are “almost to a point of knowing every- thing” they need and approach a financial adviser about “getting a second opinion. “Basically, they want to know if I agree or disagree with what they’ve read,” he said. At the touch of a button More and more financial services to choose from as Canadians continue to embrace electronic banking DURHAM —Ten security tips for au- tomated banking and direct payment transactions. • Your ABM/debit card is the key to your account(s). Keep your card in a safe place and never ‘lend’ it to anyone; • Protect your personal identification number (PIN). It’s your electronic signa- ture. Don’t write it down — memorize it; • If you are selecting a PIN, always avoid the obvious — your name, tele- phone number, date of birth, address; • Never disclose your PIN to anyone. No one from the financial institution, the police or a merchant will ever ask for your PIN; • Always conduct your automated banking machine (ABM) transactions when and where you feel most secure; • Use your hand or body as a shield to prevent others from observing your PIN; • After completing an ABM or debit transaction, remember to take your card and your transaction record; • When making a withdrawal from an ABM, count the cash received and put it away immediately; • If your card is lost, stolen or re- tained by an ABM, notify your financial institution immediately. Most institutions offer 1-800 telephone numbers and/or 24-hour service for lost or stolen cards; and • Robbery rarely occurs at ABMs, but if it should happen, remember your safe- ty comes first. Report the incident to the police and to your bank. — From the Canadian Bankers Association Be secure when using ABMs RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Whether you need cash, have to make a deposit, want to pay bills or simply transfer funds, the Internet and automated banking machines offer one-stop shopping.

Food drive kicks into gear Oct. 5 DURHAM —After a long, hot summer, the shelves at local Salvation Army food banks are looking rather bare. They can be filled again with local residents’ help during the annual Thanksgiv- ing food drive, which runs from Oct. 5 to 15 in Oshawa, Ajax, Clarington and Whit- by. “The shelves are bare,” said food drive co-ordinator Maryanne Sholdra. “It’s been a tough summer and the food banks are hoping this drive will give it a good kick- start. It’s a good time to give.” Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at all fire stations in the four communities and at some grocery stores, Ms. Sholdra said. In Ajax, 1,899 individu- als have used the food bank so far this year, including about 454 families. While all non-perishable food is need- ed at all food banks, the top food items needed are rice, spaghetti and sauce, and soup. In addition to the fire departments, food can be dropped off at Loblaw on Harwood Avenue, Dominion on Westney Road North, Food Basics in the Harwood Plaza and No Frills in the Baywood Plaza. In Oshawa, the Salvation Army food bank has helped 5,807 people since the start of the year, including 1,327 families. The top items need- ed are peanut butter, maca- roni and cheese dinners or pasta and soup. Food can be dropped off at all fire halls,A and P stores on King Street East, Mid- town Mall and Five Points Mall, IGA at Grandview Plaza and Lake Vista Plaza, Price Chopper on Simcoe Street North and King Street East, and No Frills on Sim- coe Street North. In Whitby, the number of people helped is 850, and 218 families. The top items needed are peanut butter, pasta and sauce, and soup. Food can be dropped off at the fire stations and A and P stores on Dundas Street West and Thickson Road South, No Frills at Brock Road South, Thickson, Mc- Quaid Boulevard and Dun- das Street, Pringle Creek IGA and Price Chopper at Brock Street South and Kendalwood Plaza. This year, each food bank will be picking up food in their own community. There will be no central food stor- age and sorting area. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help out should contact the Salva- tion Army in his or her own community. Grade Math Program “A Keen Way to the School Year” The Grade Math Program is now in full swing at Dunbarton- Fairport United Church (1066 Dunbarton Road) in Pickering. Every Monday and Thursday afternoon from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. students master the math concepts of the new Ontario School Curriculum by completing the worksheets , which have been pre- pared by the operators of Grade Expectations Learning Centres. The new curriculum demands the math concepts be mastered at a much earlier age than in the past, and it will take a determined effort on the part of both students and teachers to ensure that all these concepts are firmly understood in preparation for more advanced work at the high school and uni- versity levels. Mrs. Cassar, whose son attends the twice-weekly classes, has this to say about Grade Math Program. “I am very pleased with the program. It is directed right at his level and it will elevate his grades. He is able to progress at his own pace. It’s a keen way to start the school year and stay ahead of the game”.

In June, half of the indicators were met or bettered, an improve- ment over May when the utility re- ceived failing grades on five targets. The corporation releases the monthly ‘report card’ in an attempt to make itself accountable to the public. July report card results were as follows, for the first seven months of 2001, except for measurements that are quarterly, as indicated: • In an index reflecting 11 indus- try standard performance measures set by the World Association of Nu- clear Operators (for the second quar- ter of 2001) — 74.9 per cent, worse than OPG’s target of 76.3 per cent, and short of the industry benchmark of 96 per cent. It is, however, a 2.7- point increase over the first quarter of 2001; • Public safety levels 1 and 2 events reportable to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission — one Level 2 in July. There have been seven events so far this year, and that’s worse than the year-to-date tar- get of three. A Level 1 event is de- fined as highly significant and a Level 2 is defined as significant; • ‘Reactor trips’ or the number of unplanned automatic reactor shut- downs per 7,000 hours — 1.1, worse than the OPG target and the industry standard of one per 7,000 hours; • Capability factor or the amount of energy capable of being produced per month as a percentage of perfect performance — 74.7 per cent, better than the OPG goal of 74 per cent, but below the industry median of 88.2 per cent; • Radiation dose to the public from both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ stations — 2.2 microsieverts, an international unit of dose, bettering the second quarterly target of 5. The dose is below the regulatory limit of 1,000. The radiation dose to the public is measured quarterly. • Major and moderate preventable spills — zero, meeting the OPG goal of zero; • Industrial safety accident rate, the number of accidents per 200,000 work hours that result in lost work time, restricted-work injuries or fa- talities, for Pickering ‘A’ - 0.28, bet- ter than the OPG target of 0.3, but above the industry median of 0.1. For Pickering ‘B’ - 0.25, which is below, or better, than the 0.3 target; and • Accident severity rate or the number of days lost for injuries per 200,000 hours worked, on the Pick- ering ‘A’ side — 1.66 days, better than the OPG goal of 3.4 days. For Pickering ‘B’- 0.33 days, better than the 3.4 target. OPG states performance listed worse than target is not an indication the reactors are unsafe.

Final recommendations on develop- ment guidelines for the Oak Ridges Moraine, developed by a provincially- appointed advisory panel, are being praised by environmentalists, who be- lieve the panel heard the concerns of residents in Durham and across the moraine. Recommendations by the panel, which has been travelling across the moraine receiving public input, have been “significantly strengthened over what the panel recommended in Au- gust”, the Federation of Ontario Natu- ralists (FON) said. The original draft of the ‘sharing the vision’report brought criticism from en- vironmental groups when it was re- leased in August. Many groups, includ- ing the federation, expressed concerns about loopholes in the panel’s draft rec- ommendations that they believed would allow estate home subdivisions on envi- ronmentally-significant land. The groups and residents across the moraine — a 160-kilometre stretch of land across the top of the Greater Toronto Area — also expressed concern the panel’s draft report did not leave enough of the moraine protected from golf courses, commercial, industrial and res- idential development, as well as aggre- gate operations. But, in a news release Wednesday, FON and the Save the Oak Ridges Moraine Coalition (STORM) praised the panel for listening to the public and municipal staff. “We are very pleased the panel reached consensus on ways to strength- en moraine protection,” said Gregor Beck of FON. The two groups, which had representation on the panel, re- leased the advisory panel’s latest recom- mendations in a press conference Wednesday. “These added protections came as a direct result of the public input at meet- ings... and from further discussions by the panel and the inter-ministry team,” Mr. Beck said. Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, also a member of the 13-per- son panel, said he believes the recom- mendations are “stronger and more rigid than the Niagara Escarpment re- port and that is considered to be one of the best (pieces of environmental pro- tection) around”. In its final report, the panel has rec- ommended that if local and regional of- ficial plans are stronger than the regula- tions to be set out in the provincial leg- islation, “the local and regional plans would take precedence”, Mr. Anderson said. Under the final recommendations, he added, the discussion on aggregate operations in the moraine will be the subject of further study to take place “in the next year or so”. The FON said the panel’s latest rec- ommendations suggest no new or ex- panded quarries in natural core areas. The groups also note the revised recom- mendations include a minimum width of two kilometres for wildlife corridors. In the first draft, no minimum was es- tablished. In total, the new recommen- dations suggest 62 per cent of the moraine would be left undeveloped. TURN EVERYDAY SHOPPING INTO REWARDS.

A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 30, 2001 Community volunteers sought to help immigrants adjust Host Program matches newcomers with local residents AJAX —Coming to a new country is a daunting prospect. To help make the transition eas- ier, the Host Program matches new immigrants with volunteers. The program is provided in Durham Region by the Ajax-Pickering So- cial Development Council for Citi- zenship and Immigration Canada. Volunteers provide friendship, support, help with language barri- ers and assist newcomers adjust to life in Canada. They also help with activities such as banking, finding major services in the area, en- rolling in local schools and using public transit. Volunteers and newcomers de- cide together when and where they’ll meet and what activities they will share. On average, a vol- unteer will spend two to three hours a week with a newcomer. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for Canadians to help new immi- grants participate in the communi- ty. Volunteers have the chance to make a new friend, learn about an- other country, possibly a different language, and a new culture,” pro- gram co-ordinator Mahmood Mustafa says. An information meeting, ex- plaining the program and answer- ing questions, is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Social Development Council of- fices, 134 Commercial Ave., Ajax. New immigrants can also attend the session. Anyone interested in the pro- gram, either as a volunteer or new- comer, can call Mr. Mustafa at 905-686-2661. abuse and neglect, and when to report your concerns; and explaining the services provided by the CAS. The campaign is also used to encourage people to volunteer for children in care, and to become foster or adoptive parents for children who have been removed from abusive situations. In addition to information distribution, the Purple Ribbon Campaign raises funds for services provided by the Durham CAS. Government funding provides for the essential work of investigation and protection. Community donations provide the funds for the important work of prevention and education; and helping children build self-esteem and a future. As of June 30, there were 650 children and youth in care of the Durham CAS – close to total of 771 for all of last year. Many need your assistance to help them build a better future. On October 4, you can help these children in care, and help to prevent child abuse and neglect, while exploring your own creative talents. The Durham Children’s Aid Society is pleased to present Fostering Creativity, an evening of performances and workshops encouraging you to learn, explore and celebrate the artist in you. The evening will feature an exhibit of creative work by the children and youth in care of the CAS, a performance by the Durham Youth Orchestra and workshops to get your own creative juices flowing. Workshops explore areas such as photography, poetry and living life creatively. Master of Ceremonies, Dan Carter (of CHEX TV’s First Take) will lead you through the evening, taking place in a beautiful setting at Trillium Trails in Raglan (north Oshawa). There will also be a silent auction featuring some incredible items, such as an autographed copy of Until Now, a book of the work of renowned photographer, Anne Geddes, and an original Animation Cell of Babar, complements of Nelvana Ltd. This event, along with others during the Purple Ribbon Campaign, raises funds for services provided by the Durham CAS. While Government funding provides for the essential work of investigation and protection, community donations provide the funds for the important work of prevention and education; and helping children build self-esteem and a future. Tickets are $25 per person before September 28 ($30 afterwards). For tickets please contact Yvonne Williams at the Durham CAS 905-433-1551, ext. 2414. On October 4, you are invited to explore your creativity at Fostering Creativity, a fundraiser for Durham Children’s Aid Society. It is also the launch of Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Month. Participants will gather at 6:00 p.m. at Trillium Trails (53 Snow Ridge Crt. in Raglan) a rustic lodge nestled among the trees in a scenic backdrop. There will be time to explore creative work on display from children and youth in care and to bid on silent auction items. Items up for grabs include a signed copy of Until Now, by Anne Geddes and an original Barbar Animation Cell. The evening officially begins at 7:00 p.m. with a welcome from MC Dan Carter (First Take, CHEX TV). After listening to the Durham Youth Orchestra perform, participants will break to take part in one of three workshops: •Living Life Creatively – a discussion on our right to dance with beauty and how to incorporate creativity into everyday life, facilitated by artist and International Lecturer, Stephanie Rayner •Poem Making for Everyone – poem making is finding delight in the ordinary details and events of our lives. Have fun celebrating your Inner Poet with published poet and former Oshawa resident Mary Ann Moore. No previous experience is required to write about what is important to you! •Exploring Life through the Lens – a practical photography session on how to capture life’s ordinary and extraordinary moments on film, co- led by Oshawa Camera Club and Andrea Maenza, a published photographer and coordinator of communications for the Durham CAS All of this creative fun is only $25.00 per person if you register by September 28. (After that or at the door, tickets are $30 per person). Registration includes complimentary refreshments, the performance and a workshop of choice. Seating is limited. Register, by sending a cheque, made payable to Durham Children’s Aid Society Att’n: Yvonne Williams, 555 Rossland Rd. W., Oshawa, ON L1J 3H3. Please make sure you indicate which workshop you’d like to attend. The International Order of Foresters originally proclaimed Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Month. October was set aside to focus on awareness of abuse and neglect, its ramifications and how it can be prevented. In 1992, the Durham CAS introduced a Purple Ribbon Campaign to raise awareness. This year, a fundraising component has been added. Government funding covers the essential work of investigation and protection, but community donations are needed for the important work of prevention, education, building self-esteem and a brighter future through education. Donations are used to provide the little extras that are many times not part of a child’s life - such as joining a sports league, taking music lessons or opening a gift on their birthday. Donations also support the extraordinary medical and counselling needs some of our children have, as a result of the abuse or trauma they have suffered; provide a summer camp adventure for a child in care, support college and university bursaries for youth in permanent care; and provide a hamper for the families we serve at Christmas. If you’d like more information about Fostering Creativity, how to become a partner in prevention, or to make donation to the Durham CAS Children’s Fund, please contact Yvonne Williams, 905-431-1551 ext. 2414. Meet Franklin the Turtle at the ‘One Child at a Time’ October 27 at Upstairs at Loblaws - Oshawa Market (481 Gibb St.) Franklin will be spending the day at Loblaws compliments of Nelvana Inc. He will be having breakfast and lunch with children and their families. He will also be available for drawing and craft times as part of this fun-packed day. Enjoy a performance by the Oshawa Festival Singers and meet some local heroes. To help support abuse prevention programs of the DCAS, there will also be some amazing items available during a Silent Auction. If you make crafts, bring them along and participate in the Community Craft Sale … (also a good opportunity for Mom and Dad to do some early Christmas shopping). Table fee: $2.00 donation to DCAS. Activities with Franklin cost $10 per person. Tickets will be available soon through Loblaws. To register a table for the Craft Sale, call 905-749-0043. For more information please contact Yvonne Williams 905-433-1551 ext. 2414 OCTOBER IS Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month You can help prevent child abuse and neglect Fostering Creativity: Inspiring creative work to support children in need October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month. In 1992, the Durham Children’s Aid Society introduced the Purple Ribbon Campaign, which has been adopted by other Children’s Aid Societies to promote this campaign across Ontario. You will see purple ribbons all over Ontario, reminding you that it is everyone’s responsibility to prevent child abuse and neglect. Purple ribbons will be available at the CAS office or at participating businesses throughout Durham Region. The Durham CAS is planning several events and public outreach initiatives to raise awareness and raise funds for preventive programs. Watch for more information about events in the coming weeks.

News Advertiser Billboard Sept. 30, 2001 DURHAM —Durham women over the age of 50 are being remind- ed to have a mammogram every two years to increase their chance for early detection of breast cancer. As part of Breast Cancer Aware- ness Month taking place in October, the Durham Region Health Depart- ment is reminding women mammo- grams are effective in detecting small breast cancers that cannot be found by a physical examination. A recent health department sur- vey indicates Durham women are heeding the message, says Lynn Cuthbert, a public health nurse with the department. The study shows 77 per cent of women over 50 have had a mammogram in the last two years, which she said is “encouraging”. The Ontario breast screening pro- gram is offered throughout Durham Region. For the location nearest you, call 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2113. Mammograms encouraged during October Just for the Health of ItJust for the Health of It Advertising Feature You may not have heard of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Organization but this non-profit group has been operating in Oshawa for 31 years! Dr. Danuta Manitius, a local physician, started C.R.O in 1970 so people suffering from heart condi- tions could exercise in a non-stress- ful environment. Those who underwent a by-pass operation or a transplant prior to 1970 often found exercise opportunities limit- ed because locals gyms could not offer the type of support a heart patient required. C.R.O.’s gentle, regular exer- cise program benefits many people including those with fibromyalgia, diabetes, angina, stress, heart dis- ease, lupus, arthritis, obesity and more. the exercise program can also assist people to improve their fitness level before and after heart surgery. Unlike other programs that are shorter in duration, the C.R.O’s exercise program operates 10 months a year. Classes occur at the YWCA every Monday, Wednesday an Friday at 5pm and 6pm. This fall, the C.R.O. will allow new mem- bers to participate in this valuable program. Along with improved cardiovascular fitness, new and current members will benefit form a lecture series, beginning in October with a dietician. C.R.O also produces a monthly newslet- ter for members with lifestyles & health information. A registered nurse is in the building once a week as a resource for members. Qualified Fitness Instructors take participants from warm-up to relaxation and deep breathing at the end of each 50 minutes class. Cardiac Rehabilitation Organization provides a support network and social opportunities to promote better health. Members feel secure knowing the staff or fel- low members can usually address health related inquiries.

A/P PAGE 30 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 30, 2001 Health &FITNESS NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 How many politicians would pass psychiatric test? How sane are our politicians? One wonders how rational they are when we see our tax dollars spent so foolishly or observe their infan- tile antics in Parliament. For years I’ve heard many people exclaim, “My God, these people are running our country?” So how many of our current politicians would pass a psychiatric test? I recently spoke with Dr. James Toole while attending the World Congress of Neurology in London. Dr. Toole is President of the World Federation of Neurology and is worried about the mental health of politicians, particularly world lead- ers. In effect, are some power crazy or just plain crazy? Dr. Toole suggested to the 3,000 neurologists attending the World Congress that international leaders and senior politicians over the age of 60 should be tested regularly for signs of mental instability. He proposed tests to ascertain their decision-making ability, mem- ory and behaviour. To stay in power they would have to pass this battery of tests. I’d say ‘Amen’ to that sugges- tion, but lower the age. Maybe it might decrease my tax bill. But more important, Dr. Toole stressed a crack-up by Presidents and Prime Ministers could have devastating consequences in this nuclear age. “Today,” Dr. Toole remarked “everyone is living longer.” It’s therefore increasingly likely leaders will be older and more prone to ill- nesses that impair mental ability. This lecture by Dr. Toole was not intended as a facetious, jesting address to keep neurologists from falling asleep. Rather, in the U.S. this idea has been discussed at the highest levels. Dr. Toole recently chaired a committee on presidential disability set up by former president Jimmy Carter in 1994. The committee con- cluded a contingency plan was needed to manage the delicate mat- ter of a president who became unfit to govern. As head of stroke research at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, Dr Toole says “history is See NEUROLOGIST page 31 The Doctor Game W.

Would things have been different in your life if success had been guaranteed? What would you do if you knew with certainty that you would succeed. Would you sail the seven seas? Maybe climb Mount Everest? What about play a professional sport? Maybe even start your own busi- ness? What would you do? Imagine the thoughts that would be going through your mind if your success was guaranteed. You would be thinking about all the things you could do, all the fun you would have in the process, and all the rewards you would experience on completion. Wouldn’t life be great? Could you imagine how you would approach a minor challenge if you believed success was guaranteed. You would have no problem working right through any challenging issue, since you knew that success was inevitable. You could deal with anything that came up. You would be invincible. You could do anything you chose to do. Nothing could stop you...success is guaranteed. Well have I got a surprise for you...what I am saying is not a fantasy, it is reality. Your success really is guaranteed. All you have to do is believe you will be successful and your success is absolute. Now you can chose to believe me or not, but think about how your life will change if I am right. Would you approach things differently if I am correct? Would you go out and do the things you have always dreamed of doing if what I say is true? Well it is true, and I am correct. But it is up to you either believe me or not. If you believe what I am saying then start acting as if you are already success- ful. Start taking action towards whatever you want with the confidence that you know you will succeed. Start dreaming about the life you always wanted, because it is yours for the taking. Imagine how things will be different if you believe your success is guaranteed. Imagine how high your confidence will soar if your success is inevitable. It is your choice. On the other hand, you can chose not to believe me and continue to do what you have always done. Continue to approach life like it is a game with odds stacked against you. Continue to approach little challenges like they are life altering problems. It’s all up to you. You can believe me when I say that your success is guaranteed, or you chose to do things as you have always done them. So I challenge you to make a choice between these two options right now. For those of you who have chosen to believe what I am saying, congratulations. Watch how your life changes when you act as though success is guaranteed. For those of you who have chosen not to believe me, ask yourself “What if he is right?” It doesn’t cost anything to act as if you are successful. You have nothing to lose, so why not take a chance on your own success. You may be surprised. Start acting as if your success were guaranteed and watch the positive results you get right away. Good luck with your new found success, and have fun.

CALL DAN DOMINICO AT HERBAL MAGIC 905-426-9261 UNITL OCT. 15 With a Personal Trainer For more information DAN DOMINICO 905-426-9261 Neurologist suggests regular testing of political leaders littered with examples of the disas- trous consequences of mental ill- ness among statesmen.” A prime example, is the case of President Woodrow Wilson who was incapacitated by a series of strokes. Yet his illness was hidden from the public and he remained in office. Due to President Wilson’s ill- ness he was ineffective following the First World War. It’s believed his poor judgment resulted in the U.S not joining the League of Na- tions. And a weakened League was unable to stop Germany’s expan- sion into other countries in the 1930s. In effect, President Wilson’s strokes may have helped trigger the Second World War. John F. Kennedy suffered from Addisons’s Disease, and required constant injections of cortisone and other drugs. This condition can pro- duce severe distortions of memory and behaviour. Yet the American public was never advised of this problem. Winston Churchill’s doctors were well aware of his ‘Black Dog of Depression’ which he fought while also conducting the Battle of Britain. Later Prime Minister Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt were both seriously ill during the Yalta conference and were outwitted by a mentally alert Josef Stalin. More recently, we were aware but may never know whether Presi- dent Ronald Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease while still in office. If Dr Toole’s idea were to be im- plemented several world leaders would have to be tested, such as our own Prime Minister, Jacques Chirac of France, Ariel Sharon of Israel and Jiang Zemin of China to name a few. I think Dr Toole’s suggestion makes sense. After all, we ask air- line pilots to undergo extensive test- ing and they only have a few hun- dred people in their hands. The prospect of mad leaders triggering nuclear war may provoke images of Dr Strangelove. But the reality is many wars have been traced to the mental instability of a few individuals. Consider the num- ber of people who died because of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot who was slightly unhinged, or Adolph Hitler, a megalomaniac. Closer to home I think it’s time the Canadian Medical Association promoted this idea. A videotape of a few parliamentary debates would surely indicate who are the most likely candidates for testing. What an interesting scenario! We could then extend Dr. Toole’s proposal by making all fu- ture politicians pass a common sense and mental stability test prior to being eligible to run for public office. Can you imagine what this could do for our country? NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 30, 2001 PAGE 31 A/P NEUROLOGIST from page 30 DURHAM ––Women who have thought about quitting smok- ing at least once this year are not alone and can get the help they need to butt out for good. The Durham Region Health Department offers a Quit Smoking Group to provide support and in- formation to help women quit. The next sessions are being held Tuesday evenings, Oct. 16 to Nov. 20 from 7-8:30 p.m. at the of- fice in the Whitby Mall on Dundas Street East. Sessions are free for participants. According to a recent Ontario Health Survey, there are about 40,000 women in Durham over the age of 12 who smoke and half of them are seriously considering quitting. “Most smokers try to quit many times before they are successful,” said Nancy Bolton, a public health nurse with the Durham Region Health Department.

Durham women invited to kick tobacco habit ADVERTISING FEATURE Physiotherapy May Be the Answer to Your Problem Physiotherapy promotes optimum health and function. Physiotherapists assess and treat orthopaedic conditions, repetitive disorders, motor vehicles accidents, work- place injuries and neurological conditions. Many people are referred by their doc- tors, however, you do not require a referral to seek the advice of physiotherapy. Find a phys- iotherapist and clinic that gives you individu- alized quality care. They should take the time to educate you on your condition and show you how to manage your condition yourself. Often times, some friendly advice and educa- tion is the key to freedom from injury. A qualified physiotherapist can help you answer questions about a pain that you have been experiencing . That old saying “no pain no gain” remains one of the largest mis- conceptions in sports medicine. Pain is a part of the body’s incredibly important and valuable warning system. It alerts us when tissue damage is occurring, so we can take appropriate action and hopefully avoid serious injury. There are several key patterns of dis- comfort that represent signals to which we should pay attention. The first is “sudden onset” or acute pain. Pain that occurs quite suddenly and per- sists in an area, is a key indicator that some- thing is wrong and to take action before the situation gets worse. Early assessment and treat ment can prevent this type of pain. If you have this type of pain during an activity, then you should stop what you’re doing and seek help. One of the most difficult patterns to decipher is intermittent or recurring pain. We have all experienced nagging injuries that come and go. A good guide is if mild pain returns consistently with an activity and is in the same general location, we should pay attention and take some appropriate action (i.e. warm-up before the activity, ice after activity.)However, if the pain grows in intensi- ty with lesser amounts of effort or comes faster with activity, it is time to stop and have it properly assessed. Through a thorough objective assess- ment, a physiotherapist can help you work through the problem and determine what the best course of action may be. Early assess- ment and management of an injury can prevent you from missing out on your activity or sport for an extended period of time.

Guest speakers recall how accidents changed their lives BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —A gun- shot and a phone call forev- er changed their lives. Journalist Barbara Turn- bull was an 18-year-old convenience store clerk when a robber shot her 18 years ago. Dianne Cunning- ham, minister of training, colleges and universities, was a London school board trustee when she received a phone call in April 1984 and learned her 14-year-old son, Kevin, had sustained a serious head injury in a car accident. “There are things that happen with people’s lives that make them very, very difficult,” said Ms. Cun- ningham. “And for Kevin it was this awful, tragic acci- dent. The women were guest speakers Wednesday at the Think First Injury Preven- tion Symposium - Curricu- lum Connecting Communi- ties, held at the Durham District School Board’s Ed- ucation Centre. The symposium high- lighted the ongoing re- search project jointly con- ducted by the Think First Foundation of Canada and the Injury Prevention Re- search Office at St. Michael’s Hospital. It is at- tempting to measure the ef- fectiveness of school-based injury prevention programs by tracking student injuries. The guest speakers shared their personal sto- ries, and in doing so said safety precautions might have prevented both in- juries. Ms. Turnbull said she was advised, but didn’t, lock the store door late in the evening and only admit customers who did not ap- pear suspicious. Ms. Cun- ningham noted neither her son nor the other occupants of the car were wearing seat-belts. “I could have done it so easily,” said Ms. Turnbull, a quadriplegic. Think First encourages students to consider the consequences of their be- haviour before, for exam- ple, diving into a lake with- out knowing the water depth. The Durham District School Board was one of the first to get involved in the project, said Dr. Charles Tator, neurosurgeon, re- searcher and Think First president. “We’re looking at a long-range project,” he said. “One of the important measures is to track how many injuries these chil- dren get over the next few years.” Dr. Tator said the stu- dents are tracked anony- mously using teachers’ classroom records and through their health cards. The research results could help improve the Think First program used in schools. “Every couple of years we rewrite the program based on our research, and thanks to the TD Bank, we’re able to give the pro- gram free to schools,” he said. Think First executive di- rector Joan Patterson is the former principal of William Dunbar Public School in Pickering. She noted family and community involve- ment, through the TD Think First for families and at home components, is an im- portant part of the program. “It was the response from the parents that was so pivotal,” she said. “They wanted to be a part of it. We know that we are partners with parents when it comes to safety.” At present, roughly 11,000 students in grades 1 to 3 in 17 school boards are involved in the project, along with public health units and community groups. Eventually, 50,000 students will be involved. Dr. Michael Cusimano, a neurosurgeon and the pro- ject’s principal investigator, told a group that in the in- dustrialized world injury is the leading cause of death of one- to 14-year-olds, ac- counting for more deaths than all other causes com- bined. Research has shown that up to 95 per cent of the injuries could have been prevented. Artwork by Whitby artist Jeff Morrison was present- ed to the guest speakers for appearing at the event. The Ontario Neurotrau- ma Foundation, supported by the provincial govern- ment, pays for the $600,000 cost of the study.

Telus (formerly the Clear- net Lightning) is preparing for its third National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) season after a rela- tively successful 2000-2001 campaign, which saw the team make the playoffs for the first time in its short histo- ry. This year, head coach Don Henwood said being compet- itive and vying for the league crown against the perennial champion Beatrice Aeros are within the grasp of the im- proving squad. “We expect the team is going to be solid this year,” said Henwood, who’s been the head coach of the Light- ning since its inaugural sea- son. “We’re going to be com- petitive in every game we play. “Beatrice is still going to be a strong team, but the league is going to be so much more competitive this year. Our goal is to finish in the top three in our division and fin- ish in the top three teams in the province as we did last year.” Along with the Light- ning’s name, the NWHL it- self has changed. Only four teams will make up the league’s West Division, with Telus joining the Aeros, Brampton Thunder and Mis- sissauga Ice Bears. The Toronto Sting has dropped out of the league, but may be back next season. Mean- while, the East Conference has only three teams: The Ot- tawa Raiders, Montreal Wingstar and Le Cheyenne de la Metropole (formerly the Ste.-Julie Pantheres). Laval Le Mistral has dropped out. One other team — the Van- couver Griffins — will play an exhibition schedule against NWHL opponents. So far in pre-season play, Telus is winless in three close games. In its last exhibition tilt, the Lightning fell 3-1 to Mississauga at the Hershey Centre Sept. 23. The Light- ning also lost to Brampton 1- 0 at the Ajax Community Centre Sept. 18 and began the pre-season with a 4-2 loss to Mississauga at Pickering’s Art Thompson Arena. In two of the three exhibition con- tests, noted Henwood, the Lightning outshot their oppo- nents. This year’s Lightning ros- ter has undergone significant alterations, while also keep- ing intact the key parts of last year’s squad. Henwood noted the club has improved its overall team speed. “We’re a very fast team this year and we have really impressed teams that we have seen so far. One of the areas we really wanted to improve upon was the speed of the team, and we’ve done that by picking up additional play- ers,” said Henwood. Among the newcomers are sisters Andrea and Natalie Babony of Whitby. Andrea, a centre, and Natalie, a wing, played on the Slovakian na- tional team at the world championships last year. Meanwhile, Tina Evers, a wing, played on the German national squad. “They all bring a lot of ex- perience of playing at world championships with them. They all have speed and good, solid knowledge of the game,” said Henwood. The team has also brought aboard Sharon Williamson, a wing formerly with the Sting. She’ll join returning core for- wards Sarah Reid, Elizabeth Chiasson and team captain Erin Rourke, of Pickering, who will be counted on for leadership again this season. On defence, the team added DeeDee Tanguay and Christiann Tremills, also Sting refugees. They’ll join rookie Carrie Handley, of Pe- terborough, and returning blue-liners Katie Quinn and Jessica Allen, of Pickering. In goal, returning netmin- der Sarah Couch will see the bulk of the work. Jennifer Plitz, who played for the York University women’s varsity team last year, will serve as the backup. The Lightning have two remaining pre-season con- tests, both on the road. On Oct. 1, they travel to the Beat- rice Ice Garden for a game against the Aeros. Telus fin- ishes exhibition play against Brampton at the Brampton Sports Centre Oct. 5. The Lightning open the 2001-2002 regular season at home against the Ice Bears at the Ajax Community Centre Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. Lightning home games are slated for Tuesday and Satur- day nights in Ajax.

Telus hopes Lightning strikes this year Tykes salvage tie while atoms, peewees bombed DURHAM —The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins’ football teams mustered only a tie in three tries against the visiting Burlington Stampeders last Sunday. The Dolphins’tykes earned a 9-9 tie with the Stampeders in Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) play at Kinsmen Park in Pickering. Meanwhile, the atoms were downed 37-0 and the peewees dropped a 22-0 decision to the Stampeders. The Ajax-Pickering tykes spoiled an un- defeated Burlington team’s chance at a per- fect season. The Dolphins controlled the game on both sides of the ball throughout the contest, limiting Burlington to a touch- down on a broken play in the second quar- ter. The local tykes answered with a touch- down in the fourth quarter by wide receiver Darnell Brown. Kicker Giancarlo Amenta completed a three-point conversion late in the game to tie the score 9-9. The Stamps promptly marched the ball back down to the Dol- phins’two-yard line with only moments left, but the Dolphins’ defence held them on the goal line. The ball was turned over on downs and the Dolphins’offence ran out the clock. In the atom game, the game belonged to the Stampeders as they scored on their first possession, a 50-yard play. In the second quarter, the atoms fell just short of a touch- down at the Burlington goal line, shifting the game’s momentum. The Stampeders took a 22-0 halftime lead on their way to the win. The atom Dolphins are solidly en- trenched in second place in the COMFL standings and await a chance to defend their 2000 provincial championship in this year’s finals, which will be held Nov. 18 at York University. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ peewees were also stampeded by a strong Burlington squad. The loss drops the peewees’ season record to 3-3. Dolphins’ Morgous Kirollos suffered a severe leg injury during the game and will be gone for the remainder of the season. All three Dolphins teams will host the Scarborough Thunder at Kinsmen Park today (Sunday).
