Many said the work of medical officers of health during SARS was just part of the job. “We recognize that commis- sioners (and managers) are well- compensated and asked to do a lot of work and it just sort of comes with the territory,” said Patrick Casey, a spokesman for Yo rk Region. “Issues come up from time to time through the year and departments have to roll up their sleeves and do extra work.” Durham Region came under fire last week when it was leaked that council voted in-camera not to pay Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Kyle and Associate Medical Officer of Health Dr. Donna Reynolds any extra com- pensation for their work during the SARS crisis.

Unacceptable,” Constable Jason Spooner, Durham Regional Police traffic co-ordinator for 19 Di- vision (Ajax-Pickering), said of the results. Police and Ministry of Transportation officials joined forces to conduct the random truck safety blitz in the area of Brock Road and Bayly Street. At the end of the day they were shaking their heads, Const. Spooner said. Of the 37 vehicles inspect- ed, 21 were removed from service for various safety vio- lations, a non-compliance rate of 57 per cent, he said. Const. Spooner said viola- tions ranged from “major safety deficiencies to minor.

Police will cost more Toronto, OPP contracts drive up GTA policing BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The price of policing Durham Region will rise as a result of recent contracts signed by Ontario’s two largest forces, police officials pre- dict. As part of groundbreaking new pacts, Toronto Police and Ontario Provincial Police will be paying bonuses to veteran officers to prevent losing them to other forces. In order to remain competitive, Durham and other 905 police forces will be under pressure to include sim- ilar bonuses in upcoming contract talks, acknowledged Durham Re- gional Police Services Board member Kevin Ashe. Mr. Ashe, chairman of the board’s negotiating committee, said the OPP and Toronto settle- ments “will definitely have an im- pact” on contract negotiations with the Durham Regional Police Associa- tion. “We’re quite aware of the bonuses and I’m sure it’ll be a priority item (for the association),” he said, adding an ever-increasing police budget “is certainly a concern to the board.” The 1000-plus members of the Durham police association, which in- cludes uniform officers up to the rank of staff sergeant and civilians, are working under a three-year collective agreement, which expires Dec. 31. Contract negotiations should begin this fall. Doug Cavanaugh, associa- tion president, said it would be seek- ing bonuses similar to those negotiat- ed by Toronto and the OPP. “It will certainly be on our agenda. I think our board is well aware and it’s no mystery it will be on the table,” said Mr. Cavanaugh in an interview. Mr. Ashe said the board recognizes the need to remain competitive with other forces, but also noted Durham doesn’t have “retention issues.” In fact, regional police are attract- ing “dozens and dozens” of veteran officers from other police forces, such as Toronto, while losing few, he said. A growing force, high-tech equip- ment, new building facilities, less stress and a lower cost of living con- tinues to help draw outside officers, he said. But that could change if Durham doesn’t keep up financially with the other major police forces in the province, said Mr. Cavanaugh. “Toronto has had a real retention problem. But if we don’t keep pace we’ll have a retention problem down the road with people leaving,” he said. Board officials in Halton Re- gion, also about to enter contract talks, have predicted policing costs will soar 12 per cent to prevent an ex- odus of officers. Durham has a high percentage of young officers, Mr. Ashe said, so paying bonuses to expe- rienced officers won’t cost as much locally. He added salary accounts for 80 to 85 per cent of the total budget - just over $100 million this year - and that rising police costs are “a fact of life.” AJAX - Police arrested four area youths Tuesday for point- ing a replica handgun at pass- ing traffic in Ajax. Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham police media spokesman, said on July 22 around 7:50 p.m., four young men were walking north on Westney Road near Ritchie Avenue. Police received a com- plaint that one of the youths was carrying a handgun, point- ing it at passing cars, and that they were passing the weapon back and forth. He said a police officer was dispatched and lo- cated the four youths matching the description. “A broken toy gun was found about 100 metres south of where they were,” Sgt. Malik said. “They were all released to their parents unconditionally.” One of the youths was a 16- year-old from Ajax, while the others were two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old, all from Claremont.

GTA and Simcoe County. Those costs include staff overtime and emergency medical services and operations centres. The decision by Durham council to deny extra compensation came as a blow to Dr. Reynolds, who was quarantined for 10 days after com- ing into contact with a possible SARS-infected health care worker in Toronto. “Public health physicians are a rare commodity. This issue raises concerns about how organizations can expect to recruit and retain qualified physicians,” she said in an interview last week. “The expecta- tions (on us) seem so endless...but the value and respect seem so fi- nite.” Some Durham regional council- lors agreed with Toronto’s views, saying people put their lives on the line and went above and beyond the call of duty. Others said the MOHs are al- ready paid enough, comparing their work during SARS to that of the Region’s finance department dur- ing budget time. Peel Region’s Associate MOH Dr. Howard Shapiro agreed, saying extra work at the MOH level is ex- pected. “It’s different... when you’re in se- nior management,” he said, adding Peel was not hit nearly as hard by SARS as other regions. “I don’t think there’s an expectation that you’ll get compensated. It’d be nice, but not expected.” The fact Toronto is compensat- ing its medical officers is an excep- tion, Coun. Mihevc said, adding the City’s management receive up to 10 5 hours, or three weeks of vaca- tion for any overtime. Durham, York and Peel regions give five days vacation in lieu of overtime. “Our medical officers of health are being treated no differently than others,” said Durham Chair- man Roger Anderson. The Province said it cannot con- trol how the municipalities spend the allocated funds. “The reasons why municipalities decide to not compensate their medical officers of health is a deci- sion we would not meddle in,” said John Letherby, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Long- Term Care.

Hence Veridian was formed with Ajax, Pickering, Clarington and Belleville banding together as shareholders. The Province has since backtracked on its venture into an open market but Veridian continues to operate, publicly-owned, for-profit. To date, Veridian has been a profitable exercise. However, when public bodies, such as municipalities, start operating businesses, public accountability has to be first and foremost. For competitive reasons, these corporations disclose much less than their non-profit counterparts and their decisions bear less public scrutiny. Now, some politicians say in the name of accountability, they want more elected officials representing their communities on Veridian's board of directors. In the past, Veridian's operating rules have required at least 50 per cent of board members come from the public-at-large, appointed by the municipality they represent. The balance of the board is comprised of politicians from the shareholders' municipal councils. Recently, those councils voted to allow each municipality to decide for itself the breakdown between politicians and community members who represent it on the board. Those in favour of the change sug- gest someone elected by the people will be more accountable to the best interests of the municipality he represents. Clarington Mayor John Mutton explains if his municipal council makes a decision regarding Veridian, the politicians representing Clar- ington on the board will be bound to represent the municipali- ty 's position. Someone from his community at large, although ostensibly representing Clarington, is not obligated the same way. Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner adds that when res- idents call with concerns about decisions made by the board, a politician must be more accountable for his actions. Their argument makes sense. That's why we have an election process after all. Municipalities, however, are giving something up to gain this accountability. Adding more politicians means narrowing the field of candidates the board can draw on. Any corporation wants its board members to bring a variety of skills in areas such as finance, marketing and labour relations to the table. So, councils must use this new flexibility wisely, assessing skills their members possess versus those of other applicants. Coincidentally, politicians who sit on Veridian's board are not required to disclose the salary and expenses for the job, as they would be on other boards. If more board positions are going to be political, there should be voluntarily disclosure of pay. The public certainly wants accountability from Veridian. But, it also wants it from its elected representatives. Use staff advice TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Let there be lights,' June 25. Once again I watched in shock as Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land asked council for another $78,000 for the waterfront area. This time it was for lights in the park! Coun. Holland ar- gued the City could add the money to its debt load. It was great to see Regional Council- lor Rick Johnson, a 15-year veteran of Pickering council, putting Pickering's needs as a whole first. As Coun. John- son stated, there are many projects in Pickering that need doing but the bud- get process must be followed. Pickering chief administrative officer Tom Quinn also stated there was no money to install the lights in the park and that the project would have to wait. Our CAO is paid for his expertise and knowledge, but was totally ignored and a second-term councillor won the vote. I could hardly believe my ears.

Focusing on life expectancy, education, health, income, poverty levels and the envi- ronment, the United Nations Qual- ity of Life Report is released once a year. After a decade in first place, Canada dropped to third place last year and eighth place this year (based on 2001 information). While indicators show the overall quality of life has increased in Canada since 1995, a few key areas caused the slip. Education was one . The Ontario Government has been professing its dedication to improving education, but we are all aware of the challenges the system has faced in the past several years. Unhappy teachers and failing stu- dents in an under-funded system, highlight the problem areas that should be addressed. We are also lagging behind in the number of women in Parliament here in Canada. At only 24 per cent, we are well behind the Nether- lands. We must encourage more women to run for office and sup- port them when they do. This will help to bring forward the issues of women and children in society and focus on ways to improve their quality of life. The United States placed sev- enth this year in the report out of the 175 countries. Part of that prob- ably had to do with the fact it is the second richest country in the world, based on per-capita income. When we look at the large slum areas of many major U.S. cities, we see that the poor keep getting poorer and the rich, richer. While these problems exist in Canada also, they occur on a much smaller scale. When we listen to the stories of countless immigrants to Cana- da, we repeatedly hear about the things we take for granted. They talk of things like no fear of the po- lice, clean air and water (for the most part) and beautiful national parks for all of us to enjoy. They talk about how good life is here in Canada, something we often do not appreciate. While the Quality of Life Report is an imperfect mea- sure, it does help to spotlight areas of concern for Canadians. It can be an opportunity for us to look at our problems and make improve- ments, not necessarily so that we rate higher on the report in the fu- ture, but so that we really can im- prove the quality of our lives every day. After all, Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world. A registered realtor who likes to write, Diane Runcieman is a moth- er and grandmother.

Clocks!! Durham police issue warrant for robbery suspect AAJJAAXX — Durham police have is- sued an arrest warrant for a man considered armed and dangerous following a robbery in Ajax last weekend. Media spokesman Sgt. Paul Malik said on July 20, around 9:45 p.m., a 26-year-old Ajax man parked his car in front of a residence on Burcher Drive in Ajax where he was to visit a friend. However he was confronted before he got out of his vehicle. “When he arrived there, two black males were seen leaving the residence and one of them walked up to his vehicle, put a handgun to the victim’s chest and said, ‘give me your stuff,’” he said. The victim said he didn’t have any money, whereupon the suspect began searching his pockets. The culprit took the victim’s wallet from his pant pocket before leaving the area. As a result of an investigation, Jason Timothy Bridger, 29, has been charged with robbery, pos- session of weapons dangerous, pointing a firearm, unautho- rized possession of a firearm while prohibited, and failing to comply with a court order. He is described as male, black, with light-coloured skin. “He does have a number of ties to the Ajax area,” said Det. Sgt. Peter Naumienko. Sgt. Malik said if anybody knows where he is, they should call 911 or the criminal investiga- tions branch of the Ajax-Picker- ing Community Police Office at 905-579-1520, ext. 2524.

Pictured are moms and dads who skipped out on child payments and managed to elude Ontario’s Family Re- sponsibility Office (FRO) - a government program with the legal authority to collect court-ordered payments on behalf of spouses. The site is carefully moni- tored by several agencies and volunteers and includes only men and women who are under court order to pay ar- rears. All deadbeats must be reg- istered with the FRO which does not officially endorse the site or provide information due to privacy laws. The FRO was established during the first term of the Mike Harris government, re- placing Ontario’s Family Sup- port Plan. However, provincial figures estimate that in 2002 more than 130,000 moms and dads in the province were over $1.3 billion in arrears for child sup- port. As a result, many in the province - including one Durham mother - say the pro- gram has been ineffective and was strictly a ploy for the To- ries to garner votes. “They told me at the outset they would take care of every- thing,” says the mother of one, who asked her name be withheld to protect the identi- ty of her child and ex-spouse. “I used to receive a cheque or two, until I received a letter from the ex-husband telling me he wanted nothing more to do with me or my child who was eight-years-old at that time.” She was told by the FRO the Superior Court of Justice suspended the motion, and legal advice would be neces- sary to pursue the matter. Premier Ernie Eves, him- self, signed a letter sent to the Durham resident, saying he could not intervene in the matter, but insisted he would ask the FRO to follow up on the case. They never did, says the woman. That was in 2002. Her child, now in her 20s, has since dropped out of col- lege due to financial concerns. The woman estimates the with no brakes is a major problem,” he said. “A lot of them were re- moved for mechanical prob- lems. There were broken leaf springs, defective brakes and tires, overloads,” said the of- f icer, adding any of those ve- hicles posed a potential dan- ger. One man driving a tractor trailer had only a Class G li- cence, he added. Of the 21 trucks pulled off the road, 18 were repaired on site and three had such seri- ous problems their plates were seized, the officer said. Twenty-four charges were laid including driving with an improper licence, failing to have annual inspection and operating an unsafe vehicle. Const. Spooner said police and MTO have conducted reg ular blitzes in Durham and the results, although not always this poor, have been troubling. “We try to do this every three months and remove any vehicles unsafe from the road, and make the roads a little safer,” he said. “It’s definitely something we have to address more and more,” he said, promising po- lice and MTO enforcement campaigns will continue in Durham. Derelict dads, moms outed on Web site A not-for-profit Canadian website is up and running featuring a list of parents which it claims who owe child support. $7,000 owed to her by her ex-hus- band (prior to her child’s 18th birth- day) would have paid for her daugh- ter’s OSAP loan completely. However, Anne Machowski, spokesman for the Ministry, says any type of agreement must be filed with the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice (Fam- ily Court), or their predecessor courts before they can be enforced by FRO. Asked if the FRO was short- staffed, she says: “FRO is always looking at ways to provide better service. Today, 95 per cent of court- ordered support payments received are processed within 24 to 48 hours as compared to up to 10 days before 1998.” FRO received approximately $30 million in funding from the ministry this past fiscal year, adds Ms. Ma- chowski. “In addition to its internal staff, FRO has arrangements with private sector partners that help to deliver its services,” she says. These include outside “panel lawyers” to conduct provincewide litigation; private collection agencies to collect older arrears; and banking partners to help speed up process- ing of court-ordered support pay- ments. Following a report by Ombuds- man Ontario stating the FRO’s com- puter systems were inadequate in 2001, resulting in delayed service, the government is spending $525,000 to look at developing a new service de- livery model and appropriate sup- port technology. “We are now considering our op- tions around a case-management approach and new technology to support the program,” adds Ms. Ma- chowski. Yet the FRO was only behind cor- rectional services in the amount of complaints generated by the Om- budsman office in 2002. When support is uncollected, many families are forced to rely on social assistance, states the Om- budsman Web site. “In turn (this) re- sults in support arrears being owed to the government.” In 2002, about $212 million in sup- port arrears was owed to the govern- ment. “The Ombudsman’s Annual Re- port details several cases about the FRO’s enforcement problems in- cluding a situation in which the FRO failed to take reasonable steps to en- force a complainant’s court order, and missed potentially significant opportunities to recover debt on her behalf,” states the Web site.

A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 25, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire Notice of Public Hearing The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a one-day public hearing to consider the results of an Environmental Assessment Screening Report (EA Screening Report) on the proposed construction and operation of a used fuel dry storage facility at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station (NGS) site in Clarington, Ontario. The environmental assessment is being conducted pursuant to the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). One-Day Hearing: September 25, 2003 Place:CNSC Public Hearing Room, 14th Floor, 280 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario Public hearings begin at 8:30 AM and follow the agenda published prior to the hearing date.

ADVERTISING FEATURE The Allergy Treatment Clinic Celebrates First Anniversary Number two items include some milk and water jugs, juices and shampoo bottles At last, Durham accepts high-density polyethylene (HDPE) #2 plastic bottles! In fact, now all plastic bottles with a screw top, with the ex- ception of bottles containing motor oil and pesticides, can be placed in our Blue Boxes. HDPE uses oil and natural gas as the most important raw materials for plastics pro- duction. They are produced by heating plastics in granu- lar form in a barrel extruder to make a plastic tube. Air is blown into the plastic tube forcing the plastic outwards against the wall of a mould. HDPE bottles are the sec- ond most commonly recycled household plastic and have well-established markets. The #2 within a triangular-shaped recycling symbol identifies these bottles that are com- mon for milk and water jugs, juices, shampoo bottles, and household cleaning deter- gents. HDPE containers are used for these products since they are easily coloured and formed, as well as being resis- tant to chemicals and break- age. They generally cannot be recycled directly into new HDPE containers because of concerns the bottles may have been used for other ap- plications such as storage for pesticides. Recycled HDPE bottles be- come detergent and motor oil bottles, binders, fencing, plas- tic lumber, trash cans, recy- cling bins, drainage pipes, drums and pails, matting, milk bottle carriers, industrial pallets, bathroom stalls, traf- fic barrier cones, flower pots, golf bag liners, kitchen drain boards, and hair combs. Since 1990, HDPE has sold for as high as $675 per metric tonne and as low as $90 on the spot market. Until now, lack of political foresight kept this #2 bottle out of Durham’s Blue Box collection when the Region negotiated its con- tract that only included the #1 PET plastic bottles. FFAASSTT FFAACCTTSS:: • Some motor oil bottles and curbside recycling bins con- tain 50-per cent post-con- sumer recycled content. • The amount of HDPE that was sold for recycling by On- tario municipalities in 1998 was 4,883 tonnes. • In 1997, 67-per cent of On- tario’s population had access to HDPE recycling. The packaging industry continues to reduce the thick- ness of their products where possible. An empty one-gallon milk jug has decreased in weight from 95 grams in the early 1970s to now less than 60 grams. Also, within the indus- try, HDPE is extensively reused for shipping contain- ers such as drums, returnable crates and pallets. At the end of their useful life, these con- tainers are recycled. This information was gathered from the Recycling Council of On- tario’s Material Fact Sheet Series. Visit www.rco.on.ca. ❑❑❑ Always completely drain a motor bottle to the last drop. In 1991, David Grassby, a 15-year-old Thornhill, Ontario youth, calculated that the amount of oil left in motor oil con- tainers used in Canada accumulates to five million litres a year. As an al- ternative to the one-litre bottle, David suggested that oil companies use large drums, so that motorists could refill their own reusable bot- tles.

There’s no cure for it whatsoever. And it is always fatal within two to six years. The body just degeneratively falls apart.” Actor and activist Christopher Reeve, who played ‘Superman’ in the movies, talked about the need for stem-cell research when he was on the Larry King show a couple of years ago. Although Mr. Reeve has a personal stake in the success of such research -- he was paralyzed from the neck down when thrown from a horse in 1995 - he also knows such scientific investigation will not only help to find treatments for paralysis like his own, but for Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis. He singles out ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) because research is the only hope its victims - known as P’ALS in Durham Region -- have. There isn’t even any real treatment to slow the progression of the deadly disease. “Stem cell research holds out huge promise for people with ALS, and it could have an unbelievable effect on the quality of lives of many thousands of people around the world,” says Helene Vassos, Interim Executive Director of the ALS Society of Canada. “We’ve gone back up again,” says Marion Irwin, president of the ALS Society of Ontario’s Durham Chapter. “At the moment, there are 15 P’ALS registered with the ALS Society in the Region of Durham.” Statistically, however, based on a population of 500,000, there are probably 25 or 26 P’ALS in our midst at the moment. ALS is the abbreviation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which kills two to three Canadians every day. One of the cruellest things about ALS is that its victims remain mentally alert, fully aware of their fate as their bodies quickly deteriorate. Local organizers like Mrs. Irwin are busy putting the 3rd annual Walk to D’Feet ALS together. The goal for the walk is to raise awareness in Durham Region as well as to raise badly needed funds. The location is Rotary Park at the lakefront in Ajax, Saturday, September 27 at 10 a.m. Contact the Durham ALS chapter for more information by emailing: thenern@sympatico.ca or call 905-668-2283.

But that still means only four Durham resi- dents have registered with just two months to go be- fore the deadline. Durham residents go to the polls on Nov. 10 to elect 11 trustees on the Durham District School Board and eight trustees on the Durham Catholic District School Board. Joe Corey, an Oshawa Catholic board trustee for over three decades, re- cently registered in a bid to retain his seat. He is the only Catholic board candidate in Durham Region. Three candidates have signed up to contest pub- lic board seats. The latest is Scott Tem- pleton, who joins John Dolstra in the Whitby race. Two Whitby trustees sit on the board. Kathleen Hopper, the longest-serving trustee on the public board, is the fourth candidate, running in Oshawa once again. There are no trustee candidates in Brock, Uxbridge, Scugog, Picker- ing or Ajax. Durham residents have until Sept. 26 to sign up to run in the election.

Elgin Mills Cemetery Visitation, Chapel and Reception Centre 905-737-1720 www.mountpleasantgroupofcemeteries.ca 15 91 Elgin Mills Road East Richmond Hill Marketing plan in place to help promote industry BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — A new marketing plan for apple producers is worth the $20 per-acre fee it will cost them say local farmers. Apple producers across the province recently voted 72 per cent in favour of a new marketing plan, which will allow an apple marketing board to set a price for juice apples, promote Ontario apples, and edu- cate and advocate for the industry. Commercial farms of 10 acres or more have to pay the board a licence fee of $20 per acre of apple trees. “I think the fees will be worth their price in the future,” says Fred Archibald, owner of Archibald’s Or- chard in Bowmanville. The farm has about 25 acres of ap- ples. He supports the plan because it will give the apple industry a lobby- ing voice. “Sometimes we run into a pest problem and need some special at- tention there,” Mr. Archibald says. “There’s all kinds of things this orga- nization can speak on behalf of growers and it improves our lives a bit.” Lloyd Smith of Ocala Orchards in Scugog agrees a larger voice would be an asset to all apple farmers. “This group is going to set a cost for juice apples,” says Mr. Smith, who looks after the farm’s 15 acres of apples. “Usually we don’t even get the price of harvesting for juice ap- ples.” At 83, Mr. Smith has seen the apple market weaken over the years and hopes the new plan can help it return to strength. “Years ago you sold them here by the barrel to the consumer; now 90 per cent are going to chain stores,” he says. A farmer is lucky to get 21 cents a pound for apples being sold for over a dollar per pound in stores, Mr. Smith adds. “Hopefully this organization can get some teeth in it,” he says. “We hope it gets better. If it doesn’t get better how are you going to stay in (apples)?” Steve Lennox, Durham Region president for the East and Central Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Grow- ers says the plan will not set a price for regular apples, which is why some people did not vote in support. “People expect them to set a price, but it all depends on supply and de- mand,” Mr. Lennox says. He adds the plan is good for every- one because without it, there is no voice for growers. “We need it for sure to give stabil- ity to our market and government representation,” says Mr. Lennox. For the last couple of years apple producers have been without a voice. “The old apple commission, I guess it didn’t do the job we need- ed,” says Henry Verrydt, an owner of Algoma Orchards and co-chair- man for the apple marketers of On- tario Association. Algoma’s Whitby, Bowmanville, and Newcastle farms have 300 acres of apples. The farm is a grower and packer. Mr. Verrydt says the old plan was “cumbersome” and lost its focus. He supports the new marketing plan. “What it means to the industry, it gives us a bit more of a focus and voice, which we’ve been left in the dark for the last few years,” Mr. Ver- rydt says. Now the apple industry can work more effectively together, he says. Apple producers like new marketing board Lloyd Smith, who runs the orchard at OCALA Winery, stands among the thousands of apple trees at the Durham farm. 2215 Brock Rd. N.

Here are some safety recommendations to follow before heading out the door: A few days out • Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your house and to pick up the mail and newspaper. The typical burglar looks for a vacant home, so you want to have that “lived in” look while you’re gone. • Arrange to have your grass cut if you’ll be away for more than a week. • Install deadbolts on every entry door. Deadbolts that are grade 2 or higher offer the best security. • Make sure back doors, walkways, and entrances to garages and basements are well-lit at night since burglars prefer the cover of darkness. • Linking outdoor lighting systems to motion sensors startle would-be intruders by instantly exposing them to light. A day before • Install timers on lamps in several rooms to create the appearance that someone is home. From the street or sidewalk, your house should look occupied. • Look for timers that stagger when the lights go on and off from day to day. These are best because they prevent a potential intruder from detecting a pattern. • Clean up your yard so that all debris is removed and all patio furniture is secured in case of a storm. Just hours away • If you use gas, turn off the pilot light on your hot water heater, stove, oven and clothes dryer. • Turn your main water valve off. • Make sure all controls on your stove are turned completely off. • Pull plugs on appliances, including computers and televisions, to guard against a power surge. You’re off • Lock all doors and windows and the garage door. And then double check. Don’t be one of those travellers who has to return to make sure the front door is locked.

Vacation bible school in Ajax A/P PAGE 26 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 25, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Classroom CONNECTIONS News Advertiser July 25, 2003 Fun and education can go hand-in-hand while school's out BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——Victoria Lisi has spent her summer doing lots of things. There's bike riding, swimming, visiting her grandparents, play- ing with her sister, and doing two book reports for her parents. "When school was over this year, I told Victoria, 'Now I still want you to read a book'," ex- plains her father, Nick. "There are two rules. It has to be a big book and I want her to read one in July and another in August." "It's a good thing it rained on the weekend because she was a little behind," he adds. The Whitby dad doesn't want others to get the wrong idea, however. He and his wife believe summer vacation should be a break from school but they like to find ways to keep their chil- dren's minds active over the hol- iday as well with things they enjoy. For their four-year-old daugh- ter Nicole, that means getting primary workbooks from local stores to keep her occupied. Vic- toria, a straight 'A' student, loves to read and write, hence the book report. Asked how many books she plans to pick up this summer, the 10-year-old replies, "maybe three or four". And when she fin- ishes with the 'Little House on the Prairie' series, she'll probably move on to 'Dear Canada', a col- lection of diaries from our coun- try's past. "I don't really mind. It's fun," she adds. From a learning perspective, nine or 10 weeks of summer holi- day is not a good learning expe- rience for students, says Tom Hawks, owner of Oxford Learn- ing Centre in Pickering. It's too easy for young minds to forget the skills they've acquired throughout the school year. "It's much better to have more short breaks than one big one because learning is a process," he explains. "If a child is behind, the break isn't going to help them overcome that difficulty." Private learning centres offer a series of summer programs for kids to help bridge the gap be- tween school years or even get a jump on the next grade level. "It's the only time of year class- es aren't moving forward," points out Mr. Hawks. "The summer is a great time to catch up or reach ahead." While each child's needs are different, students can benefit from keeping a summer fun jour- nal, in which they write about their adventures over the break, he suggests. It's also fun and educational to start a book club to get children thinking about what they're reading. Mr. Hawks recommends a con- sistent focus on learning throughout the summer, and says a child will learn more if they attend seven weeks of half- day classes three times a week than if they spent two weeks be- hind a desk all day. "Depending upon the child, I think day camps can be valu- able. One week of learning is bet- ter than nothing," the father of three suggests. "I've always looked for summer enrichment opportunities for my children that add balance to their lives." Leanne Worsfold starts plan- ning out the summer in March. It's a challenge, the nurse educa- tor says, to keep her five-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son away from the television. On those days she's not working from home, Ms. Worsfold relies on the help of hired university students to organize day pro- grams for them. Activities range from holding scavenger hunts, visits to the park, or even a bus trip to Mas- termind for art classes as a treat. Sports camps have also helped her growing son keep active, while vacation bible schools of- fered at local churches are an in- expensive way to keep the younger set engaged. "You should make sure (the vacation bible school) doesn't conflict with your beliefs," the Pickering mom suggests. "I like them because most of them are non-denominational and they teach kids to be good to others. The ratios are also excellent be- cause they have a lot of older kids help out as well as counsel- lors." The key is variety with struc- ture but not too much structure, recommends Ms. Worsfold, who tries not to schedule "high ener- gy weeks" back-to-back for her family. "One of the things I found helpful was a calendar a teacher once sent home with the kids. It listed things to do each day of the summer," she adds While summer should be an opportunity to take a break from school, not doing anything acad- emically for nine weeks may mean some students will have difficulty settling into a routine again in September, says Jim Rielly, vice-principal of the Bow- manville campus of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board's summer school program. There are summer literacy programs offered through the board for students in Grade 7 and 8 who have difficulty with specific subjects, and tutor pro- grams offered through various community organizations. For most children, taking full advan- tage of everyday learning oppor- tunities can be enough, Mr. Riel- ly says. "Something as simple as bak- ing and teaching your child how to follow a recipe is learning," he adds. Summertime... and the learning is easy There's still time to introduce learning into your summer fun. The Ontario Principals' Council offers these simple tips for parents: MMaatthh • Institute an allowance. Children can keep track of how much they receive each week, how much they save, and how much they spend. • Hold a yard sale or set up a lemonade stand. • Teach older students how to set up a budget and keep track of rev- enues and expenses each week. • Compute car mileages together on car trips. • Do jigsaw puzzles. GGeeooggrraapphhyy aanndd HHiissttoorryy • Pick up brochures about the cities you visit on vacation and learn about their history and cul- ture. • Visit historical sites or stop at museums and galleries, zoos, or science centres. WWrriittiinngg • Buy a notebook and have chil- dren record their daily activities and thoughts during their vacation. • Encourage writing to grandpar- ents, relatives and pen pals weekly. RReeaaddiinngg • Visit your library once a week to sign out a new book or take part in summer programs if available. • As a family, pick up a topic to fol- low for a few days and learn as much as you can about the topic. • Assign the task of writing up a grocery list to a child and take them with you to the store. Make them find the items by reading the signs on the aisles. • Set aside 20 minutes every day for family reading. • When walking around the neigh- bourhood, have children read signs and notices. Wa ys to learn, and have fun, too Keeping their kids learning during the summer months has been a staple at the Lisi household.

You could be the star in this sports film BByy CChhrriissttyy CChhaassee Contributing editor OOSSHHAAWWAA ——Ajax and Pick- ering residents could get their big break in a made- in-Durham movie. Fifty-Five-Films and Lush Brothers Entertain- ment has just issued a cast- ing call for talent for a com- edy about six washed-up hockey players who reunite for a national shinny tour- nament. It's due to be filmed in Oshawa in Janu- ary. Fifty-Five-Films is actu- ally two brothers and a friend, who grew up playing hockey in Oshawa: Kelly and Kevin Westlake and Ron Baker. Lush Brothers is Clement and Chris Lush, whose feature credits in- clude 'Loose Change,' filmed in Oshawa, and 'The Order of Wilson.' "This is my homage to my hometown I grew up in," said Kelly Westlake. "I was born, raised and grew up my whole life here. I played hockey my whole life. "I grew up playing Os- hawa Triple A. My brother was a year behind me. We had a typical Oshawa up- bringing. We grew up play- ing hockey." But university and a po- litical science degree beck- oned and then Westlake headed to Los Angeles to visit a friend. While there, he sat in on some writing classes, having taken to creative writing in universi- ty, producing a regular col- umn for the student news- paper. Over the next three years, he bounced between L.A. and Canada, writing scripts and dabbling in other jobs. Meanwhile, his brother, who took his hockey career to the semi-pro level, took up acting. He's appeared as a hockey player in a Mas- tercard priceless ad, the one with Bobby Orr and Don Cherry, in some Pro Line commercials and in an ESPN series. Back home in Oshawa, Kevin Westlake suggested to his brother that they head to L.A. to make an in- dependent movie. Kelly Westlake, knowing just how difficult that would be, es- pecially for Canadians, had another idea. "I said 'Let's write our own movie and we'll put it together ourselves right here," he said. That decision made, they needed an idea for the movie. That was born, as Westlake suggests in a press release, over a few beers with the boys after a midnight game of shinny. Experts tell writers to write what they know so West- lake figured it'd be the same for producing. "We should produce what we know and there's noth- ing we know better than hockey," he said. The brothers got togeth- er with childhood friend Ron Baker, who also played semi-pro hockey with the United Hockey League team in Fort Wayne which won the league champi- onship last year. They worked on the script on the Original Six, an Oshawa hockey team which travels the province in a tourna- ment round-robin before making the national shinny championships, taking place in Oshawa. Westlake then saw a tele- vision interview with Os- hawa's Clement Lush and his brother Chris, who shot the movie 'Loose Change' in Oshawa. He contacted the Lush brothers and they made an exchange of the movie and the script. Both liked the others' product so they've teamed up on the hockey movie. The casting call has gone out and Westlake hopes to be filming in Oshawa in January, complete with snow. "That's a character in the movie. It absolutely has to be there. I need real snow. I want the big banks. I want that dirty, mushy, salty ..." he said. While he knows the movie needs seasoned ac- tors for the nine major roles (six male hockey players and three athletic women), Westlake wants to have plenty of Oshawa faces in it. He'd like to film in local arenas, using staff there as extras. He'd really like it if he could discover an Os- hawa hockey and acting talent for the movie. Westlake's ideal plans would see the movie have its debut at the 2004 Toron- to Film Festival. But there's "tens of thousands of steps" between now and then, he added. "At the very least, we're going to have a very good independent movie here," he said. Fifty-Five-Films and Lush Brothers entertain- ment are looking for six males, ages 20 to 30 and able to play hockey at a ju- nior A level, three females, ages 20 to 30 and athletic in appearance. Secondary casting calls are also out for secondary roles, ages six to 66, for hockey players, ref- erees, concession staff, bar- tenders, reporters, anthem singers, hockey fans, rink rats and more. Acting and hockey talent can send a headshot and resume or picture and brief letter of interest to Hockeymovie.ca at 1288 Ritson Rd. N., Suite 415, Oshawa, L1G 8B2.

See page 37 Henry hopes Games will serve as springboard to worlds BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— Even after run- ning to two medals at last week- end's Canadian Track and Field championships, a Pickering sprinter believes the best is yet to come this summer. Anson Henry, 24, was named to the 21-member Canadian track and field team set to rep- resent the country at the 2003 Pan-American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic July 31 to Aug. 3. Hurdler Perdi- ta Felicien, also of Pickering, was also named to the Canadian team. Henry will run in the 100 me- tres at the Pan-Am Games after f inishing third in the event at the Canadian championships in a time of 10.27 seconds. The bronze was one of two medals he captured at nationals, also running to silver in the 200 me- tres. The Washington State Univer- sity graduate says he's relishing the chance to represent Canada at the Pan-Ams, as well as gain- ing some valuable international experience in the process. "I'm pretty pleased to be going," says Henry, who recently f inished up his studies at WSU, where he continues to train with one of the university's sprint coaches, Francesca Green. "It's very good for me to gain some international experience." Henry notes his training lead- ing up to the Canadians seemed to suggest a better result and a faster time was coming his way in the 100 metres. Although somewhat dissatisfied with his performance, he was nonethe- less happy with the medals. "My 100 metres could have been a little bit better and the 200 metres I ran for fitness real- ly," he says in an interview from his Pullman, Washington home. "It didn't go as well as it had been in practice. The top three was the main thing to be eligible for worlds. I expected more, but I can't say I was too upset about it." The Pan-Am Games will also serve as another chance for him to qualify in the 100 metres for the Canadian team competing at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Paris, France next month. The qualify- ing standard is 10.21 seconds, a time he feels is well within his grasp. "Hopefully, I'll be able to do that at the Pan-Ams. That's the plan. I'm running 10.27 right now, so I'm just outside of it. I haven't run a lot of races this year, so I'm hoping that it will come together. And, when it does, 10.21 shouldn't be a prob- lem. I feel I can run 10.00 right now. But, my starts are not as consistent as I would like them. I'm not getting to top speed as smoothly as I would like to be." Even without running the 100 metres at the worlds, Henry is assured he'll represent Canada in the men's 4-x-100-metre relay team. Nicolas Macrozonaris, of Laval, Quebec, and Pierre Browne, of Toronto, will also be part of the foursome. Earlier this summer, Henry ran in a series of European meets, as well as several U.S. competitions. He ran to a sev- enth-place finish in a meet in Oslo, Norway, even though he arrived there just 24 hours be- fore the race. He won the 100 metres at a meet in Genoa, Italy in 10.29 seconds, despite run- ning into a strong headwind. It's his first time competing at the Pan-Am Games, and he's looking forward to representing Canada abroad. "Anyone would like to repre- sent their country. It's an hon- our really," he says. A total of 5,300 athletes from 42 countries will compete in 35 sports at the Pan-American Games this month. The track events will be run from Aug. 5 to 9.

DDUURRHHAAMM ——Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins bantam football players helped Team Ontario to a bronze medal at the annual Wilson Chal- lenge Tournament in Quebec last week. Six Dolphins players were se- lected to the Central Ontario Minor Football League's (COMFL) Team Ontario, which competed in the tournament against competition from la belle province. In the end, Team Ontario lost only once in three contests in games played at the University of Montreal and at Laval University in Quebec City. Team Ontario was quick out of the gate, posting a 40-0 victory over the Quebec select all-stars at the University of Montreal. Kyle Exume gobbled up two intercep- tions, one of which he ran back for a touchdown. He also kicked con- verts for Ontario. The second game saw the On- tario team lose 9-8 to the Montre- al all-stars in a heart-breaking loss. Mike Dearness intercepted a pass on his own three-yard line and brought it back 17 yards to keep the Montreal team from scoring. Team Ontario team then trav- elled two-and-a-half hours to Que- bec City where they played in the medal rounds and faced the EMS (private schools) all-star team at the University of Laval. Ontario won 39-26 to attain its third-place standing at the tournament. Dolphins' Jyotin Handa and Byron Metcalfe stopped countless runs and passes. Brendon Eadie performed well on the offensive line to protect the quarterback. Travis Thomas caught two key first-down passes, one of which he took to the three-yard line. The play proved critical as Team On- tario scored on the next play with a three-yard run into the end zone. Jim Bardgett, the Dolphins' bantams head coach and also head coach at Dunbarton High School, was impressed with the calibre of play at the Wilson Chal- lenge Tournament. Mostly, though, he was delighted with how well his own players fared at the event. "They play a high calibre of foot- ball in Quebec, our team showed we can compete at their level. I was proud of the entire team, es- pecially the boys from Ajax-Pick- ering," says Bardgett, who was the special teams coach for Team On- tario. Dolphins all-stars shine in Quebec DDUURRHHAAMM ——The inaugural On- tario Lacrosse Association se- nior 'B' season for the Ajax- Pickering Rock ended prema- turely at the hands of the Burlington Chiefs Tuesday. Any hopes of a long playoff r un by the expansion Rock were dashed on home floor at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. The Chiefs' defence com- pletely stifled the Rock's offen- sive attack, leaving Ajax-Pick- ering on the post-season side- lines with a 7-5 loss. The Chiefs took the best-of- three quarter-final series two games to one. Burlington will now meet another expansion team, the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks in the semifinal round. The other semifinal will pit the defending champion Owen Sound Woodsmen against the Arthur Aces. Brandon Laforme recorded a two-goal game for the Rock. Paul O'Grady, Nick Trudeau and Joe Hiltz had the other markers. Adding assists were Brad Cann with two, Hiltz, Bill McLean, O'Grady and goal- tender Mike Miron.

The Pickering Oldtimers Hockey League has insti- tuted a new men's over-50 division for the coming 2003-04 season. The season will consist of 45 games, which will begin in September and ends in April. Games are scheduled at Don Beer Arena on Sun- day and Wednesday evenings. The cost is $495 per player, with a fee payment schedule available. The POHL has been providing recreational hockey for men ages 35 and over for the past 32 years. For more information, call Bob Bentley at 905- 683-5481 or visit the league's Web site at www.pickeringoldtimers.c om. Oldtimers league offers hockey for over 50s City teen takes it up a notch Kirk serves up singles title in older age group at Pickering junior tennis event PICKERING ——Playing up an age group did nothing to deter a local teen from winning the Pickering Tennis Junior Championships on the weekend. Maia Kirk, 14, put up a gritty per- formance in the under-16 girls' sin- gles final at the tournament. Down a set and trailing 2-0 in the second, Kirk battled back with a powerful barrage of shots that led to a 3-6, 6- 3, 6-1 win over finalist Alexandra Blyakher of Richmond Hill. It marked the first time in Kirk's young career that she won a tour- nament playing "up" an age group in the under-16 category. The match topped two hours and provided plenty of excitement for the enthusiastic fans at the Picker- ing Recreation Centre. With earlier rounds played outdoors at Sandy Beach Tennis Club, rain on Sunday prompted Tournament Director Dave Ochotta of Pickering Tennis to move the final rounds indoors. This proved a boon to Kirk, as the ideal playing conditions seemed to focus her game. Both Kirk and Blyakher were in top form, having recently played in the Ontario Junior Closed Provin- cial Tennis Championships at Win- ston Churchill Tennis Club in Toronto. The under-16 singles semi-final pitted Kirk against Oakville's Taryn Casey, an experienced competitor from a well-known tennis family. The two had last met on the courts in November, 2002 at Cedar Springs, where Kirk prevailed in three hard-fought sets. But this time, Kirk took charge immediately and never let up, posting a 6-0, 6-2 victory. The number-two seed in the tournament, Kirk received a bye in the first round. Her second-round opponent, Rachel Gould of Toron- to, displayed a creditable power game. But, she was no match for Kirk's varied shot selection and consistent serving. Kirk won the match 6-1, 6-2. Kirk attributed a significant part of her success to the regular hitting sessions with her provincial dou- bles partner Megan Bedeau of Scarborough. The two girls have been honing their court skills to- gether whenever their schedules allow and it seems to have pro- duced great results. Bedeau won the Pickering tour- nament's under-18 girls' event, de- feating Irena Lanc of Collingwood in a solid 6-1, 6-3 performance.
