PICKERING ––Summer gives way to fall but that’s nothing to five-year-old Geili Singson, who had a little fun at Frenchman’s Bay recently with her sister. Colder weather arrived this week- end, following a few days of unseasonably warm mid-week weather. ‘Vague’ report card issued Leave it to beaver Toothy rodent topples tree into power lines PICKERING —A local beaver took a bite out of Pick- ering’s power supply this week. Approximately 3,500 Verid- ian Connections customers in Pickering have a rogue beaver to thank for a 50-minute power outage Wednesday evening that began at about 6 p.m. A Veridian Connections crew arrived at high voltage power lines along Fairport Road to find a beaver had chewed halfway through the base of an aspen tree, causing it to topple into the lines. “I’ve never seen anything like this”, said John Wiersma, Veridian Connections president and chief executive officer. “Protecting our system from beavers is not something that we’ve ever had to deal with.” Brenner questions validity of document Province requires from Pickering BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The City has compiled its newly required mu- nicipal report card, but questions remain as to what the numbers can actually tell local residents. “The numbers are so vague,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “Nothing makes any sense.” Pickering released figures in six categories for 2000: general gov- ernment, fire services, roads, tran- sit, garbage, and land-use plan- ning. Coun. Brenner said it is not clear in the report just how these numbers were reached and what is included. The fire services numbers show operating cost per $1,000 of as- sessment is $1.30, but Coun. Bren- ner said he’s not sure these figures are a proper measure of City de- partment. “What about response time?” he asked. “This is just another way of looking at the financial state- ments. It’s not about performance and it tells the public nothing.” Mayor Wayne Arthurs agreed there are a number of performance factors not measured in the report, but said things like response time, the number, nature, and location of calls received are already looked at by the City as a way to improve service delivery. He said it may take three or four years before the information in this report proves beneficial. See PICKERING page 5 Arson calls rise First eight months of year almost equal to all of 2000 BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM — Pickering and Ajax are burning and local police and fire services want to know who lit the match. “Arson is alive and well again,” said Rex Heath, fire prevention of- ficer with Pickering Fire Services. According to Durham Regional Police statistics, there have been 34 cases of arson reported in Ajax and Pickering for the first eight months of this year, 12 more than the same period in 2000 and only one behind last year’s entire total of 35. There were 40 and 36 cases, respectively, in 1999 and 1998. Mr. Heath noted between June 2 and Aug. 20 alone, the department responded to five dumpster fires, 10 garbage bin fires, one school portable fire and three portable toi- let fires that were all arson related. “Somebody has to know some- thing about this,” said Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “We don’t PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER The puck stops Seniors get tips on at Stacy Kellough securing their homes SPORTS/20 FOREVER YOUNG/15 PRESSRUN 44,400 28 PAGES SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2001 OPTIONAL 4 WEEK DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND Join Our Durham Region Team!

Chairman Nancy Loraine noted trustees were just getting “a quick overview” of the handbook. But Trustee Shetler maintained “we should take the time to read this” and mo- tioned the presentation by Pickering superintendent Luigia Ayotte be de- ferred. Education di- rector Grant Yeo said the hand- book was updat- ed to incorporate the current regu- lation from the Education Min- istry on school councils, and has been in place at the board for six years. In a recorded vote requested by Whitby Trustee Doug Ross, trustees voted 6-5 in favour of defer- ring the item. Trustees Shetler, Cynthia Steffen (Oshawa), Mar- tin Demmers (Scugog), Melin- da Crawford (Ajax Wards 3 and 4), Marilyn Crawford (Ajax Wards 1 and 2) and Paul Craw- ford (Pickering) supported the delay. Ms. Ayotte in an interview said the handbook is “a document to help the parents do business” on councils. It includes in- formation, for example, on run- ning elections and a sample constitution. She said council members could take what infor- mation they want out of the docu- ment. The hand- book will be dis- cussed at the Oct. 15 board meeting.

DURHAM ––A Durham Re- gional Police investigation focusing on a recent rash of auto thefts in Os- hawa has led to charges against 20 people. Fifteen indi- viduals, includ- ing six who are charged as young offenders, were arrested in the past two-and-a- half weeks, while arrest warrants have been issued for five others, said police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. He said police have noticed a decrease in the number of vehi- cle thefts in the region since the arrests began in September. More than 20 abandoned vehi- cles were recov- ered during the project by Os- hawa’s criminal investigations branch and uni- form officers, while the force’s forensic identifi- cation unit was “key” to identifying suspects, he said. Most of the vehicles were stolen purely for joyriding, said Sgt. Malik, who added, “This was not an organized theft ring of any sort.” The 20 face 56 criminal charges combined ranging from theft, pos- session of stolen property, mischief and fraud. Anyone with information on sus- pected vehicle thefts is encouraged to call Detective Constable Kent at 579-1520, ext. 2739 or Detective Constable Calder, ext. 2741 or Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477.

Looking at the winter roads, the operating cost for winter control per lane kilometre reached $976.43 and 100 per cent of winter events responses met or exceeded municipal road maintenance standards. The operating costs for waste collection per tonne was $69.73 and the percentage of residential solid waste diverted for recycling reaching 8.77. The report shows the total residen- tial solid waste diverted equalled 1,948 tonnes. The percentage of designat- ed agricultural land preserved during the year was 99.83 and the costs for municipal adminis- tration as a percentage of total municipal operating cost was 13.39. Overall, Coun. Brenner said the report is useless. “It’s a wasted exercise,” he said. “It tells the public nothing and reports nothing.” At the Durham level, among the numbers released was the cost of policing in 2000, which was $2.27 per $1,000 of assess- ment. The percentage of violent and property crimes cleared by Durham Regional Police was 80 and 42, respectively. The Region also reports the cost to treat each million litres of water was $179 and there were 19 hours when untreated or partially treated sewage was released into a lake or natural watercourse. The cost to Durham per lane kilometre was $2,221, and it also met 100 per cent of maintenance standards with winter events. The City has sent the num- bers off to the Province and they are available on the City of Pickering Web site at www.city- ofpickering.com.

Chief Douglas is ask- ing anyone with information about any of these incidents to call police or fire services. Mr. Heath stressed arson is a seri- ous matter. “Arson fires impact the communi- ties, socially, economically, environ- mentally and can lead to unwanted in- juries to both the public and firefight- ing staff,” he said. “We often forget that arson fires are criminal acts and not just acts of juvenile delinquency or foolish pranks.” Thom Evered, Ajax’s fire preven- tion officer, said he has not noticed an increase of arson cases in Ajax, but added there is the usual amount of dumpster fires. He said Ajax Fire and Emergency Services is vigilant in its attempts to educate children about the dangers of arson through the Durham-wide ‘The Arson Prevention Program for Chil- dren (TAPP-C). The aim of TAPP-C is to reduce fire involvement and promote fire safety among children and youth aged two to 17. Anyone with information can call Durham Regional Police at 905-683- 9100, Pickering Fire Services at 905- 839-9968 or the Ajax fire prevention office at 905-683-7791.

Contrary to what I have heard and read in newspapers, the treatment I re- ceived was first class. The hospital’s doctors and nurses are truly dedicated. They are overworked in to- tally unsatisfactory facilities. I have re- quested our family doctor, David Sli- wowitz, pass my thanks onto the executive at the hospital for having quality staff on the payroll. The hospital is not nearly large enough for the population base of Ajax and Picker- ing. Every provincial government for the past 15 years has promised to expand the hospital structure and operating budgets re- quired to meet the existing and future pop- ulation of our town and city. In addition, Durham council has turned a blind eye to requests for funds for hospital capital ex- pansions. Having witnessed the stress, workloads and crowded conditions the present hospi- tal staff work under, one must wonder what is required to get the attention and action required from Durham council. It must be remembered this is our hospital system; it does not belong to the provincial govern- ment. Local and regional communities have always contributed to hospital expan- sion, recognizing benefits that flow direct- ly to the community and support both the local population and business. Perhaps active community groups should oppose all municipal and regional housing applications and challenge them to the Ontario Municipal Board on the grounds our local hospital is unable to serve our present residents. Until the ser- vice is expanded, all new residential pro- jects should be put on hold.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 7, 2001 This being Thanksgiving week- end, let’s give thanks. First off, to Osama bin Laden for teaching us the importance of toler- ance. I’m no brainiac, so I’m hav- ing a hard time wrapping my head around how killing thousands was done to please a benevolent God. A second thank you to Jerry Fal- well and Pat Robertson for remind- ing us intolerance still resides close to home. A day after the attack, Fal- well goes on Robertson’s television show to say it was God’s revenge for America’s straying from His path. Here at home, a pat on the back to Sunera Thobani on three counts. The former head of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women blamed the Americans for the attack, saying their foreign policy is “soaked in blood” and only by end- ing the dominance of Western soci- ety will women be emancipated. We should thank her for reminding us smart people — she’s a university professor — can say stupid things. Second, her comments remind us of what a great society we live in. Sure some wanted to lop Ms. Thobani’s head off, and as of this writing, her cranium is still attached to the rest of her. No, in an open and democratic society, differing view- points are not only welcome, they’re encouraged. Where else but in the West can a woman rise to these heights Ms. Thobani? Afghanistan? We must also thank Ms. Thobani for again reminding us of how hap- less Hedy Fry is. How the secretary of state for multiculturalism and the status of women managed to keep her job after accusing the folks in Prince George, B.C. of cross burning “as we speak” is a mystery. Then she heads off to the United Nations’anti- racism conference and blasts her own country’s treatment of Aborigi- nals (correctly so) without pointing to the Taliban’s treatment of women. Now, Ms. Fry sits there through Ms. Thobani’s silliness. How did this person get elected and how is she still a cabinet minister? Let’s thank those voters in Que- bec who dealt the Parti Quebecois a reality check last week. Premier Bernard Landry wanted to use four byelections as a prelude to a general election and then parlay that into a third referendum on Quebec sover- eignty. Of course, losing two of four races and barely winning a third shocked the PQ and now it must re- think its plans. Granted, voters did- n’t punish the government for its sovereignty hopes, but the clear sail- ing the PQ hoped for isn’t there any- more. Finally, on a personal note, I’d like to thank the Boston Red Sox for yet again kicking me in the temple with a pointed boot. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Tolerance, intolerance, blood and Frying our own Holiday weekend offers so many examples of what we have to be thankful for A year and a half ago the News Advertiser asked our readers to believe in a dream so big, so important we were almost afraid to utter the words for fear they would jinx the whole thing — a university for Durham Region. And believe you did. This community wrote letters in unprecedented numbers to our members of provincial parliament. You made it clear a com- munity of over half-a-million wants and deserves a market-driven university that will open the door to a brighter future for our sons and daughters. That will nurture thousands of highly-skilled in- dividuals. That will foster a rich and vibrant quality of life, and bring greater economic prosperity to this great region. You believed, and you made a difference. On Thursday that dream became a tangible reality when Di- anne Cunningham, Ontario minister for training, colleges and universities, took to the podium at Durham College and made it official — The Ontario Institute of Technology (OIT) will open in Oshawa in 2003. A full-fledged university with all the bells and whistles in our own backyard. We have just increased the chance our children will attend university. Milestones like OIT are not reached without the sweat and dedication of many, many people and they don’t happen overnight. A university for Durham Region is a decades-old dream that has been worked on intensively for the last decade. The visionaries responsible for this achievement include members of Durham College’s boards of directors, both past and present. They include business leaders like Nortel, Bell and Gen- eral Motors. They include labour leaders like the Canadian Auto Workers. They include local businesses and chambers of com- merce. There have been politicians, past and present, who have lob- bied hard on Durham’s behalf. And there have been the students — both past and present — who have made their voices heard, who have lobbied, raised money and shared the dream of univer- sity status. But most importantly there has been the administrative team led fearlessly and with grace by Durham College/OIT president Gary Polonsky. And a great team it is. Their vision and unwavering dedication to this long-anticipat- ed goal have scored an Olympian win for this community and we thank them. What a very proud day this is for Durham Region, for Ontario and for Canada! An Olympian win for our community Take a bow Durham, your letters, calls have ensured a brighter future for our children Keith Gilligan Staff Writer kgilligan@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 7, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM ––When Sergeant John Keating cycled his way across the United States last spring and summer, a picture of his ‘heroes’, his two children, kept him going. The photo, which was laminated and stuck on his handlebars, shows his daughter Krystal and son Kurtis, hugging on a beach. They are both smiling and looking right at the camera and the parent behind it. The two look like typical kids, enjoying a day on the beach, even if the skies are cloudy. There’s no way most people could tell one of those children has autism, a complex neurological disorder that robs people of the ability to communicate and socially interact with their family, friends and the world at large. It’s one of the most common develop- ment disabilities but many people, including those in the medical and education fields, are unaware of its implications. In an effort to change that and raise money for autism research for his eight- year-old son Kurtis and tens of thousands of children and adults like him, Sgt. Keating, who works for Durham Regional Police Ser- vices, biked 11,700 kilometres through 24 states earlier this year. He raised $1 million and hopes to start an annual national fund- raising event. “I’m not proud of what I did at all,” he said. “My son still has autism. I’m very happy with what I did. I’ll be proud one day when Kurtis doesn’t have autism and autism isn’t an issue any more. Right now there’s no time to sit back and be proud.” Autism occurs in as many as one in 500 individuals. It’s estimated there are more than 20,000 people in Ontario today with autism or some form of disorder in the autism spectrum. Four times more prevalent in boys than girls, autism has no known cause, no cure and no one treatment that will work for everyone. It’s difficult to diagnose. When Kurtis was born, Sgt. Keating and his wife Pauline, of Courtice, were as happy and proud as every other new parent. “You hear the words from the doctor - ‘you have a healthy baby boy.’He developed normally. He reached all his milestones. He walked before his first birthday. He said all the normal words.” When Kurtis was 18 months old, his sis- ter Krystal was born. Things started to change when Kurtis was two. “The first thing we noticed about him was he stopped looking at us, he wouldn’t re- spond to us. We actually thought his hearing was the problem,” he said. But tests showed the boy’s hearing was fine. Shortly after, Kurtis began to tap his fingers in front of his eyes, over and over and over, in what the Keatings would eventually learn was a fairly typical autistic behaviour. “We took him to a doctor in Oshawa. The doctor said ... he’s autistic. I’d never heard of that,” Sgt. Keating said. Their doctor told the Keatings he didn’t know much about autism but advised them to learn to deal with it because their son wouldn’t ever get better and they’d have to look after him all their lives. “No help, no place to go, no phone num- bers, just you’d better learn to deal with it,” said Sgt. Keating The Keatings learned all they could about autism, seeking out doctors and anyone who would help them. Meanwhile Kurtis’s be- haviour continued to change. “Kurtis did not sleep for three years until he was five,” Sgt. Keating said. The boy would sleep a few hours, then wake up about 1 a.m. and be up for the rest of the night. So would his parents, which made it difficult for them to cope with jobs and an increasingly difficult family life. “If you get your sleep and rest, you can cope with almost anything,” Sgt. Keating said. “My family life went from being on Cloud Nine, having everything, a nice house, a millionaire’s family, two good jobs ... to one day ... to as low as you could possibly get, everything devastated.” Mrs. Keating quit her job in order to be home with Kurtis full time. And they started their education about autism, getting the help their son needed. Today, he’s getting several kinds of thera- py - applied behaviour, speech, sensory inte- gration - in efforts to help him connect to his world. “You have to dig to find this stuff,” Sgt. Keating said. “As a parent, you have to dig for everything. I was willing to do anything, even remortgage the house and take Kurtis to California for special treatment.” Treatment for people with autism in- cludes a wide variety of intensive therapies, such as those Kurtis receives and also music and auditory, and dietary interventions. As each person is an individual, so too is autism in its effects on each child. No child with autism is similar to any other. And because of that, there’s no one treatment that works on all children. “No researcher, no doctor can tell you what can work for all the kids,” Sgt. Keating said. “It’s so frustrating ... in this day and age, there’s nothing they can tell you that works for everyone.” Through therapy, the Keatings have seen Kurtis improve. He’s sleeping more (five nights a week) and so are his parents. Kurtis, considered in the mild range of autism, goes to a regular school, with help from an educa- tion assistant. He can talk but only to express his needs and wishes. There are no conversations with him and he can’t tell his parents what’s wrong if he is sick, Sgt. Keating said. Kurtis can’t ride a bike on his own but he does play chase games and hide and seek. “He loves to wrestle. He loves to be tick- led. Kurtis is very lovable, very huggable. He’d hug you to death if you let him,” Sgt. Keating said, noting children with autism often don’t like to be touched, don’t smile or look at other people or even be around other people. “That’s the disorder itself, it’s not the children,” he said. “A lot of Kurtis’s activity now at school, at lunch, at recess, is just being with the other kids. He doesn’t engage a lot with them but he’s just with them, hanging with them.” Since Kurtis’s diagnosis, the Keatings have adapted to their new life. “I would never change him for the world,” Sgt. Keating said. “He’s marvellous. You learn to accept the change and find the good in it. He’s made me such a better per- son. I learned unconditional love.” He also learned to do without some of his much-loved privacy. “Your home is not your home almost,” he said. “It’s a revolving door. As one therapist leaves, another arrives. I like to think of my home as a retreat but it can’t be now. It’s hard to live like that but you do it.” The Keatings’ have seen their daughter provide Kurtis with natural therapy. “She’s six-years-old but it’s like she’s 26,” her father said. “She takes care of him like a little mother hen. She knows he has special needs and she involves him in every- thing. I credit Krystal with the fact Kurtis is doing so well now. He watches her at play, he imitates her. She’s a hero to me. I know she was a gift sent to us.” The Keatings have also opened their home to the neighbourhood, knowing Kurtis needs as much exposure as possible to regular social- ization and play. They have a swimming pool, playground centre, a swing set in the garage for winter use, a pool table, exercise balls, computer games, big screen television and a trampoline. “Sometimes I come home and find five kids in the house,” Sgt. Keating said. “I like my privacy, I’m a really private person but I’ve changed that because I know Kurtis needs that interaction. We have to do this for him. He didn’t ask to be born. He didn’t ask for autism. We brought him into this world.” When he looks at his son, he realizes he can’t understand what is going on in Kurtis’s head or what he feels. He’s accepted that but is determined to do his part to change that. Sgt. Keating is confident treatments will im- prove and even a cure for autism will be found, although it will take much effort and money. That’s why he’s hoping to translate his cross-America bike ride into an annual fund- raising event, something like a bike relay, in- volving parents of autistic children and their supporters in each province. “I have all the hope and faith that Kurtis will function and live on his own. I know it will come but I’m not waiting for it to come. I want him to have his drivers’licence when he’s 16-years-old. We all have goals for our children, some are big, some are small. That’s my goal for Kurtis.” Dad’s love drives search for autism cure Here are some facts about autism: * Autism typically appears dur- ing the first three years of life, with parents noticing delays in language, play or social interaction * Several types of autism are grouped as autism spectrum disor- ders, with people exhibiting commu- nication and social deficits but with differences in severity, number of symptoms and age of onset * People with autism find it hard to communicate with and relate to others * People with autism may exhibit repeated body movements (hand- flapping, rocking), unusual respons- es to people or attachments to ob- jects * In some cases aggressive or self-injurious behaviour may be evi- dent * About 50 per cent of people with autism do not develop spoken language skills * Many find change distressing and like unusual routines or rituals * While some autistic people have special abilities, as shown in the movie ‘The Rainman,’ most do not * With therapy, people with autism can learn and develop and be part of their communities. Durham Regional Police Sergeant John Keating, pictured with children Krystal and Kurtis, says that through therapy his son, who is autistic, has improved. A.J.

Podiatrist- Foot Specialist Podiatry Helps Put Perpetrators in Prison The criminals of today are far more sophisticated and knowledgeable, so it is up to our police and foren- sics to stay one step ahead (pardon the pun). The gen- eral public understands the individuality of finger prints and the need for dental forensics to identify victims injured beyond recognition. But what about podiatric forensics - that footprints in the snow, the worn out shoe tread or the length of stride that might help convict the criminal. An incident occurred in the 1990’s when authori- ties could not determine which of two arrested men pulled the trigger to kill a four year old. The child had been found in the desert outside Phoenix with three bullet wounds and a partial shoe print in the sand. It took a podia- trist working with police, to determine which of the two had a foot size and shoes to fit the print in the sand. Both men were con- victed based on this evi- dence. “About 40% of foren- sics involves feet or footwear” says Robert Kennedy, a forensic expert in the RCMP in Ottawa. Kennedy’s estimate may be on the low side. Criminals are always careful to wear gloves and not leave finger- prints, but a footprint is unavoidable. All crooks must enter and leave the crime scene. Apodiatrist in Toronto was able to identify body parts found in a garbage dumpster. That same day a lady was reported missing. On examining the missing person’s belongings, it was found that a nail inside the woman’s shoes matched a puncture wound on her foot. The use of podiatric forensics has been wide- spread for the past 25 years, but analyzing footprints has been going on for hun- dreds of years. In 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in A Study in Scarlet that “There is no branch of detective science which is so important and so much neglected as the art of trac- ing footsteps.” Sometimes the clues are found in debris that is foreign in an area that may be found in the tread of shoes or the footprints, for example, soil not endoge- nous to that area. Door kicks are easily missed and footprints are more difficult to preserve than finger- prints. Sometimes police officers unknowingly destroy these key pieces of evidence. The technology used to gather evidence involves three dimensional digital representation of the sus- pect’s foot contours. Snowprints wax for making casts of the imprints and electrostatic devices that can lift the footprint are used. Endoscopic devices are used to examine the inside of a shoe to deter- mine pressure points or wear patterns. These would then correspond to a specif- ic foot structure or boney position. Gait analysis is also used to determine stride, weight, height and other specifics of a suspect. Most of us had never heard of Bruno Maglis Shoes, that is until the O.J. Simpson trial. The footprint of a size 12 Bruno Maglis shoe was found at the mur- der scene. O.J. Simpson denied owning the shoes, and they have never been recovered. I wonder if the shoes had been found would the results of the case been different, thanks to the efforts of podiatric forensics.

Eating disorders (binge eating, anorexia, bulimia and yo-yo dieting) affect millions of people in every walk of life. Sadly, people attempt to control eating disorders by dieting, fasting, over- exercising, using diet pills, diuretics, laxatives and purging which may produce short term weight control, but do not address the underlying problem. Health, career, self-esteem and relationships all suffer as a result of these behaviours. EATING DISORDERS ARE TREATABLE!

When Terry Thompson recently had her home re-painted, she made an interesting discovery when half the ceiling had a fresh coat of white paint. "The other half of the ceiling was yellow from cig- arette smoke," says Ms.Thompson. "The difference was so obvious and it was totally a shock to us - espe- cially when we removed pictures and paintings off the walls and saw that the walls were also yellowed." Following this experience, Ms.Thompson, who works for Durham Region Health Department, decided to make both her home and car smoke-free and has turned to the Health Department's Open the Door to a Smoke-Free Home contest for help. Although she's not eligible to enter the contest as a Health Department employee, she plans on placing the Smoke-Free home decal on her window to remind her and visitors that her home is now smoke-free. Friends and family have been very supportive. "We've told our friends that we're not smoking inside anymore and they're fine with it - we're finding more and more homes that are smoke-free so they have no problem with our decision." In addition to the Smoke- Free home decal on her window, Ms.Thompson has also placed ashtrays and pails of sand on her front porch and back deck. She's also found that there are many benefits to having a smoke- free home. "The house smells fresher now and I don't smoke as much so I think it's a stepping stone to quitting. My eyes don't water in the morning any- more and I have less nasal conges- tion. I'll also save money on paint- ing and clean- ing." Since starting to smoke outside, Painting The House Leads To A Smoke-Free Home Ms.Thompson has reduced her smoking from one pack to half a pack a day. "You'll try to get a cigarette finished during a commercial so you don't miss any of the show. Sometimes I don't bother (having a ciga- rette) as it's not worth the effort and I think that has helped me to cut down. It's especially hard in the morning because I have to finish my morning routine first before going outside to have a cigarette." In the past, Ms.Thompson has tried not to smoke in her home when children visit. "I don't want to set a bad example by smok- ing in front of them," she explains. "Smoking is bad for kids and I don't want anyone to start smoking ever." Ms.Thompson also decided to extend smoke-free living to her new car. "I got a new car on Sept.25 and I want the new car smell to last for- ever - I drove to work today without smoking in my car." she says with a proud smile. On Oct.11, Durham Region Health Department will launch its new Smoke-Free Car campaign. Ms. Thompson plans to fol- low some of the sugges- tions in this campaign to make it easier for her to maintain a smoke-free car. "If I take the ashtray out, I'll have another cup holder and we'll stop more frequently during Smoke-Free Home ADVERTISING FEATURE long trips," she says. "Bill's (my husband) truck has always been smoke-free, so he's used to it." Ms.Thompson admits that right now she's finding smoking outside difficult, but "like any- thing else it'll get easier with time and practice and it might lead me on the path to being totally smoke-free and living a healthier life."

Did you know that second-hand smoke... • Contains more than 4000 chemicals. • Conatins more than 43 chemicals that can cause cancer. • Is estimated to kill more than 330 non-smoking Canadians every year from lung cancer. • Is estimated to con- tribute to 3000 premature deaths of Canadians due to heart disease. Second-hand smoke is particularly harmful to children and infants. Children exposed to sec- ond-hand smoke are at greater risk of developing asthma and those children with asthma who are exposed to second-hand smoke have more attacks and the attacks can be more severe. In children, exposure to second-hand smoke also causes: • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), also known as crib death. • Low birth weight. • Pneumonia and bron- chitis. • Ear infections. Tips to make your home smoke-free: • Post a sticker on your door to let people know that you do not allow smoking in your home. • Ask caregivers not to smoke around your chil- dren. • Set up a comfortable area outside for smokers to use. • Take your children for a walk or to play outdoors if they are too young to be left alone indoors while you go outside to smoke.

Tomorrow’s Hearing Today A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, October 7, 2001 You Can Start Ending Procrastination Forever ADVERTISING FEATURE When it comes to motivating ourselves to take action, it all comes down to our understanding of one simple choice. Our choice between pain avoidance and pleasure achievement. Everything we do, or don't do, with regards to our business or personal lives is based on our personal choice between pain and pleasure. Whenever we are presented with an opportunity, we make our decision to take action based on our unconscious representa- tion of amount of pain or pleasure involved with the opportunity. We compare the amount of pain or pleasure involved in doing nothing with the amount of pain or pleasure involved with taking action. Whichever we believe to be the greatest plea- sure and the least pain becomes our chosen path with regards to the presented opportu- nity. The best example of this pain pleasure principle is someone who tends to procrasti- nate. A good procrastinator (and I am sure we all know someone who is very good at procrastinating) has developed the talent to make pain associated with taking action appear high, and the pleasure of doing noth- ing also high. when the good procrastinator compares this to the pain of taking action and the pleasure of the goal, doing nothing always wins out. This good procrastinator will continue to do nothing until the pain of not taking action is so great that they must do something, and taking action now becomes the least painful option. Unfortunately, for the good procrasti- nator who is pain avoidance motivated, as they take action towards achieving their goals, they move away from the pain that was providing the motivation. As this pain goes down, their motivation disappears and they stop taking action. This is why the good procrastinator who is pain avoidance moti- vated never achieves their true goal. The pain that was motivating them disappears soon after they start taking action, and along with that pain, their motivation also disap- pears. This is the reason why good procrasti- nators never seem to get ahead. Every so often, when the pain is significant, and the good procrastinator chooses to take action, they seem to be getting their act together. Unfortunately, they always stop taking the necessary action before they achieve what they set out to achieve, because the pain that was motivating them goes down. It is for this reason that truly successful people, in all areas of life, are not procrastinators. Truly successful people always focus on achieving pleasure rather then avoiding pain. It keeps them moving towards their goals and their motivation remains strong. Truly successful people are motivated through pleasure achievements rather that pain avoidance. However, good procrastinator, on the other hand, are motivated by pain avoidance. Have you ever thought about how you are motivated? Are you a good procrastinator? In order to stop being a good procrasti- nator, you must first be aware of the pain and pleasure principle of motivation, and accept the reality that you tend to be pain avoidance motivated. This realization leads you to two possible options: first you can take the pain with you. This means that as you take action towards achieving your goals, and as the pain goes down as you move away from the pain, you constantly remind yourself of the pain you are avoid- ing, make the pain again, so that you contin- ue to move away from the pain. Although taking the pain with you is highly effective for strong procrastinators, it tends to lead to significant amounts of stress over time. A more favorable approach is to use pain avoidance to get yourself started in the direction of your goal, and then focus strongly on all the pleasures involved in achieving your goal. Remind yourself that successful people are motivated through pleasure achievements, just like the new you. Use the powers of your imagination to create far more pleasure in taking action towards your goal, and to create significant amounts of pain for procrastinating. It is very important to make the pleasure of action and the pain of procrastination as real as possible, so use your imagination as actively as you can. Understanding the principle of pain and pleasure as they relate to your personal ability to take action is critical to achieving any level of success in your life. Play with this principle and have fun using greater amounts of pleasure to allow you to achieve whatever it is you want in life.

Prepare your home for weeks or months of your absence BY TONY DOYLE News Editor DURHAM —It’s usually right about this time each year that seniors across Durham begin to get that all-too-familiar itch. It’s the one mixed with antici- pation and, sometimes, despera- tion to get south before another Canadian winter touches down. But before applying the tried and true cure of a little Florida sun or some Arizona desert to the prob- lem, there’s an important job to do — making sure homes are safe from the risk of break-in and theft while they sit empty. Each year thousands of snow- birds flock south for some winter sun. And before they do, many turn to Pat Judges for tips and suggestions on getting their homes as burglar-proof as possi- ble. “The big thing is having a per- son check the home,” said the Durham Regional Police Consta- ble. “It could be a family member or it could be a neighbour and I mean every day”. Const. Judges said the advan- tages of daily checks range from allowing for different lights, ra- dios and televisions to be turned on or off, to collecting mail and newspapers, and to narrowing down for police the likely time frame in the event a break-in does occur. Another key to security is get- ting to know your neighbours. Const. Judges said the better you know them, the better they will have an understanding of the ac- tivity that should be going on around your home. “A nosy neighbour is the best security you’ve got,” he said. He added the concept works both ways in that if your neigh- bour is away, question suspicious people appearing at their door or spending time in the area. “Criminals don’t want to be spoken to,” said Const. Judges. “Strike up a conversation because if someone is going to kick in a door, if no one answers, they will kick in the door.” Along those same lines, he also offered advice on toughening up home entry points. Const. Judges noted typical deadbolts, locks and other hard- ware come with three-quarter- inch screws. He strongly suggests purchas- ing four-inch screws so they are driven not only into the frame, but attached right to the main wall stud. “It takes a lot more kicking and the two things criminals have against them is noise and time,” he said. One final area of concern is compiling an accurate list of your home’s possessions. The record is vital in helping police compile an accurate roster of missing items after a break-in and in identifying the owners when stolen property is recovered. Detailed videotaping or pho- tographs of items, or engraving property with a common identifi- er are commonly used methods for making a list. Const. Judges suggests using a car licence plate number as opposed to the lengthy process of engraving names, ad- dresses and social insurance num- bers on each item. Besides its simplicity, he noted the licence plate number could pay off in more than one way as police stopping a suspicious vehi- cle loaded with items can quickly determine if they were stolen. Const. Judges said officers can check the engraved numbers with the vehicle pulled over and de- cide if further action is necessary. “While I’m talking to the per- son on the road, I can have some- one heading to check out the res- idence to see if it’s been broken in to,” he said. And above all else, he noted, “try to make the place look lived in”. Anyone with further questions about preparing their home be- fore heading away can call Const. Judges at 905-579-1520 ext. 1739 or 1-800-579-1520.

Planned Giving Local families invited to visit fire halls to learn safety tips PICKERING —Mem- bers of the public are invited to stop by a local fire hall next week to learn more about fire prevention. The Pickering Fire De- partment is hosting a week- long open house to mark Fire Prevention Week, which runs Oct. 7 to 13 across North America. Fire departments throughout Canada and the United States observe the week every October in com- memoration of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This year’s theme is ‘cover the bases and strike out fire’. The baseball analogy is used to drive home safety messages about the leading causes of home fires — kitchen fires are first base, heating equipment fires are second, and electrical fires are third. Home plate is dedi- cated to home escape plan- ning and smoke alarms. “People need to plan their escape, know all the routes to take and make sure everyone is accounted for,” said Picker- ing Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “That way we can come in and put out the fire without having to worry so much about rescue.” Pickering Fire Prevention Officer Rex Heath said the City’s three fire halls will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. the entire week. Hall 2 is located at 553 Kingston Rd., Hall 5 is at 1616 Bayly St. and Hall 6 is at 1115 Finch Ave. For more information call 905-420-2222.

Over the past two weeks, interest rates have dropped twice. This places them at a level that they should have been at six months ago. The housing market is still quite strong,with prices still rising, and demand not slowing down. The job market howev- er has become quite scary, with a large number of what we always considered both stable and prosperous companies cutting their workforce. REACT NOW There is a possibility that interest rates will still move slightly lower, but take into con- sideration how long it has taken for these recent reductions, it becomes debatable whether the gamble on waiting would be worth it. Take advantage of these lower rates now. Consolidate those debts that seem to get more and more difficult to keep under control each month. Remember that holidays are only a little over two months away, so if you are like me, and spend way too much money over the holidays, plan for it now. A consolidation can be in the form of a loan,a second mortgage, (as long as your credit is good financing to 100% of value is available)or re doing a complete new first mortgage is another option. A good consolidation can save thousands in payments over the year, and proba- bly more important is save your all important credit rating from slipping. Remember that inquiries on your credit bureau can be the kiss of death on an application because if you have more then two inquiries over the past three months, most lenders will auto- matically decline your application because it appears that you are a credit seeker. Make sure that what you are applying for is within that specific lenders lending guidelines, before you make a formal application and a credit report is run. Till next time Glenn A.

Since then, Transport Canada has undertaken extensive consultation with local municipali- ties, tenants, environmental groups and the Pickering Stakeholders Committee. This declaration process represents prudent long-term planning so that when demand dictates, a safe and viable airport remains an option for local interests.

Gazette II Declaration BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —Entering her fourth season in the National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL), Stacy Kellough is exactly where she wants to be. That would be firmly en- trenched as the Brampton Thun- der’s number-one netminder when the NWHL regular season kicks off next week. Admittedly, there’s extra pressure being the top goaltender on a veteran club expected to contend for the title this season, but the Ajax resident said it comes with the territory. “There is a little bit more pressure,” said the 21-year-old, who has been a backup with the Thunder for the past two sea- sons. “Right now, I have the number-one position to lose. Lisa (Herritt, who played univer- sity hockey with the Concordia University Stingers last season) is a really good goaltender and she’s going to push me this year. It’s good pressure.” Last season, Kellough served as a backup to starter Sami-Jo Small, a member of Canada’s national women’s hockey team and the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic squad. Small, however, has elected not to return to Brampton following the Olympics, leaving the door open for Kellough. Even with the departure of Small, Kellough said Brampton will be laden with veteran play- ers — many of whom have toiled in the national program for some time. On the roster are left-winger Lori Dupuis, centre Vicki Sunohara and right- wingers Jayna Hefford and Karen Nystrom — all with inter- national experience. For the short term, however, the Thunder will have to soldier on without the contributions of their three Olympians — Dupuis, Sunohara and Hefford — until the conclusion of the Olympic Games. As in past seasons, the team to beat is the Beatrice Aeros, which captured not only the NWHL crown, but also the women’s provincial and national championships at the ‘AAA’ level last season. Even though the Aeros will no doubt be strong again, Kellough suspects there will be no weak links in the seven-team league this season. “We used to play Durham (Telus Lightning) or Scarbor- ough (Toronto Sting, which has folded this year) and know we were going to win. I think that every team in the league now is going to be a tough game. There’s a lot of parity this year,” said Kellough. “We’ve always had a hard time with (Beatrice), but I think we’re slowly catching up to them.” So far, the Thunder has lost twice to the Aeros in the pre-sea- son, 4-2 and 4-0, with the team’s lone win coming over Telus, 1-0. Kellough said she continues to play in Brampton rather than closer to home with the Ajax- based Lightning because she en- joys the team, the players and the fact the Thunder has been consistently competitive. She started in the league with the Scarborough (later Toronto) Sting, before catching on with Brampton for the 1999-2000 season. “Durham didn’t have a team when I started. I probably would have started there (if there was a team),” explained Kellough, who works as a dental assistant. Growing up in Ajax, Kel- lough was on the cutting edge in terms of playing, and succeed- ing, on boys’ hockey teams in the community. While a Grade 10 student at Ajax High School in 1995/96, she was the first fe- male to play on the boys’varsity team. She also played at the ‘AA’ bantam level as a member of the Ajax Knights organization and graduated to the Ajax-Pick- ering Raiders ‘AAA’ midgets in 1996-97 — the first time a fe- male had ever done so. “That was probably the best hockey experience I’ve ever had,” recalled Kellough of play- ing with the Raiders. “The coaching was great and we had a really good team.” Kellough is expected to get her first start of the 2001-2002 NWHL season against the Aeros at the Brampton Sports Centre on Saturday, Oct. 13.

News Advertiser Scoreboard Lightning comes up just short of tourney crown Midget women lose close 2-1 game in Willowdale final DURHAM —The Durham Lightning midget ‘AA’ women’s hockey team went undefeated through four games before falling just short in the championship final of a presea- son tournament in Willowdale. The championship game was against a larger, more physical team from Leaside, and despite a superb effort, Durham had to be content with the silver medal as they lost 2- 1. The Lightning opened with a 2-0 win over Rochester. Jen- nifer MacLean opened the scoring on a setup from Emily Sand, while Braydon Ferguson scored the other from Sarah Connelly. Amanda Cretto earned the shutout with the help of defenders Lindsey Lilly, Karen Farquharson, Na- talie Clegg, and Teresa Flax- man. Sand started and finished the scoring in a 5-1 win over Peterborough in Game 2. Christina Davis, MacLean, and Kalley Greer also scored, while Jennifer Renaud was su- perb between the pipes. Alanna Spencer and MacLean picked up multiple assists. Cretto then earned her sec- ond shutout as the Lightning battled to a scoreless draw against the Ottawa Capitals, and earned a trip to the semifi- nals. In the semis, Renaud back- stopped Durham to a 1-0 win over Brampton. Davis tapped in a rebound off a shot from MacLean in the final two min- utes to advance to the final. The team consists of players aged 15 to 17 from Uxbridge, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. PICKERING —The Pick- ering Panthers mite select hock- ey team posted its first victory of the season Monday night, a 6-2 win over the Ajax Knights in exhibition action at Don Beer Arena Monday. The Pickering six-year-old selects cashed in their scoring chances against solid Ajax goaltending. Ajax also had its chances, but great defensive play and key stops by Panthers’ goal- tender Travis Quirk, especially in the third period, stalled the attack. Kodey Ogaki scored the first goal, before Harrison Wood and Adam Clements, each with two, and Brandon Robinson rounded out the scoring. Assists went to Davis Kukis, Cody Watson, Adam Bradley, Christopher Koerth and Kevin Bradbury. Pickering opens the regular season at home at Art Thomp- son Arena against the Brampton Battalion this Sunday at 6 p.m. Quirk used to full advantage Amazing Festival Raffle Mini Putt Contest introducing the Pentatha Fun (wheelbarrow race, 3 legged race, hoop and stick relay, balloon toss and tug-o-war) Family Pumpking Carving Contest ( one pumpkin per family, noon to 3:30, judging takes place at 3:30) Sunday, October 14 from 12 to 4 at Pickering Museum Village Admission is free Special Guests: Sandy Hawley, Honourary Chairman of Volunteer Recognition Committee Mark Dailey City Pulse News MARE’S HORESHOE CHALLENGE Bring your Ringers!!
