Home My WebLink AboutNA2002_01_27BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM –– A “systemic failure” allowed a deter- mined Ralph Hadley to carry out his twisted plan to kill his wife, Gillian, and himself on June 20, 2000, an in- quest into the Pickering couple’s murder-suicide has heard. During closing submissions at the three-month-old inquest,Gerri Sanson,lawyer for the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Hous- es, urged the jury to call on the Conservative government to provide immediate funding to plug gaping holes in the safety net for victims of domestic vio- lence. She said cuts to social assis- tance and subsidized housing combined with a lack of fund- ing for emergency shelters and other services for abused women is partly to blame for the breakdown that led to Mrs. Hadley’s horrific death. “What is the cost of a woman’s life and how and when are we going to make that a priority with this government? As a starting point give us back what you have taken away,” Ms. Sanson said. Since 1995, she said, the number of non-profit hous- ing units available in Ontario has been cut by 17,000 and social assistance reduced by 21.6 per cent.

Premier hopeful puts audience at Eves BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Durham res- idents can “rest assured” a new university will arrive in Durham if Ernie Eves becomes the next pre- mier of Ontario. The leading candidate to re- place outgoing Premier Mike Har- ris as leader of the provincial Con- servatives briefly touched on this and other issues in a speech Wednesday during a reception hosted by Janet Ecker, the Picker- ing-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP. He also discussed education and health care with the crowd of about 150 people gathered at Gallantry’s Banquet Hall in the Pickering Town Centre, and praised Mr. Harris for getting “the job done. “He didn’t let people hear just GILLIAN HADLEY Inquest winds down with closing submissions. A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 27, 2002 Fax it The News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Durham police call for specialized training, more Crown attorneys consider with the goal of prevent- ing similar deaths in the future. The inquest has heard how Mr. Hadley, a 34-year-old postal clerk, broke into Ms. Hadley’s Hillcrest Road residence while she show- ered, chased the naked mother of three into the street, dragged her back inside the door and shot her dead. Mr. Hadley then turned the gun on himself. At the time Mr. Hadley was free on bail with strict court conditions to stay away from Mrs. Hadley and faced charges for criminally ha- rassing and assaulting her, and breaching earlier court orders. Noting Mrs. Hadley was on a long waiting list for subsidized housing, Ms. Sanson said 75 per cent of women killed by their inti- mate partners die in their own home. Emergency housing is vital for victims, she said. Staff Inspector Brian Fazacker- ley, representing Durham Regional Police, told jurors police need more investigative training and re- sources to deal with domestic vio- lence. He called on the Ministry of the Solicitor General to increase the level of domestic-violence training new recruits receive at the Ontario Police College. Mr. Fazackerley also urged the Solicitor General to provide money to expand the OPP’s Behavioural Sciences Unit so it would be capa- ble of providing “risk assessment assistance” to police forces across the province “where required in a domestic violence matter, includ- ing bail hearings.” He said local prosecutors work under “strained conditions” and more Crowns with specialized training are needed in the region. Assistant Crown attorney Frank Giordano, who handled the con- tested bail hearing that led to Mr. Hadley’s release three months prior to the murder-suicide, had just 90 minutes to prepare for 19 hearings that day, he noted. “Something has to be done... about the way the Crown’s office has been staffed,” Mr. Fazackerley said. He suggested the Crown’s of- fice train and designate full-time domestic violence prosecutors and make one available for every bail hearing, including weekends. He also called for changes to the Criminal Code to allow for a 72-hour detention, at the Crown’s request, of a person arrested for do- mestic violence to prepare for the bail hearing and ensure the victim’s safety. As well, the jury was asked to recommend the law be changed so all persons charged with domestic violence are required to show why they should not be detained. Jury deliberations are expected to last two weeks. DURHAM from page 1 First time in Eastern Canada! First time in Eastern Canada! Original Thomas Kinkade Painting On Display.

TM Visit your branch or call 1-800-465-CIBC (2422) BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —In the wake of new provincial leg- islation protecting the Oak Ridges Moraine, many envi- ronmentalists, planners, and politicians are asking what’s next? The Canadian Urban In- stitute (CUI) believes the provincially owned Seaton lands in north Pickering are the answer, and are looking towards the future of the property with a connection to its past. CUI president and former Toronto mayor David Crom- bie was retained by the Province to mediate the ne- gotiations that resulted in a decision to swap the Seaton property for moraine lands in York Region owned by a consortium of developers. Mr. Crombie addressed a group of interested parties at a recent CUI roundtable breakfast in Toronto entitled ‘Beyond Oak Ridges: new opportunities for Seaton’. He said although a “green-to-brown” approach was initially thought best, whereby previously devel- oped ‘brown’ lands in other parts of the Greater Toronto Area would be swapped for the York moraine lands, the Province’s choice was Seaton, an area expropriated in 1972 for the purpose of developing a community of up to 90,000 people to ac- company the proposed fed- eral airport to the north. Now, as the value of both the moraine and Seaton lands undergo an appraisal process and the swap’s de- tails are finalized, Mr. Crombie and the CUI are looking at a previous plan for Seaton that may stand the test of time. Mr. Crombie said the process in planning for the future development of Seaton should include a local planning process and an environmental review, but he also said the award- winning plan for develop- ment in the area created by planner John Van Nostrand more than a decade ago is still plausible. The plan, designed to use up 8,800 acres and include equal space for agricultural, natural, and urban land uses creating a self-sufficient and environmentally friendly community, is “imple- mentable without major changes”, says the author of the plan himself. It would allow for 90,000 residents and 45,000 perma- nent jobs. “It is an achievable plan,” said Mr. Van Nostrand at the breakfast. “(The plan) in- cludes an agricultural re- serve and an urban area... it is a model for growth and environmental preserva- tion.” And, a plan based on the same principles has been successful in the Brampton area, he added. Environmentalist Jim Robb, president of Friends of the Rouge Watershed, told the crowd with limited updating and redesigning, Mr. Van Nostrand’s plan could become a preferable reality. “It represents a strong foundation of good principle planning for the Seaton community,” he said.

If the cause of your excess weight is only due to eating the wrong foods or lack of exercise, the 'diet' would work. There are some very good diets available. They teach you how to choose your food wisely, and educate you on the different nutritional values...but still you have a weight problem? So what now? This is where hypnosis can come to the res- cue...but only if you are serious about achieving your dream weight. Hypnosis takes you where you want to be, just by using the power of the sub-conscious mind. Your sub-conscious mind is a wonderful thing. It's the sneaky little voice that tells you to overindulge...life's just stomped on you yet again and you deserve compensation...so into your mind comes the picture of your favourite food. In full, living colour. You can see it, smell it, taste it. Does that sound right? So how does hypnosis help? When life hits a bump, what caus- es you to reach for that special food is an 'emotion', be it anger, frus- tration, grief, or a feeling of something lacking your life. A feeling of happiness and joy, completion of a job well done, can also be the time that you indulge. Using hypnosis, your thera- pist can help you find the underlying cause that makes you turn to food for either compen- sation or reward. Regression under hypnosis is often effective in ferreting out causes that are so repressed you have no conscious memory of them. Sometimes the simple understanding of the cause can result in the elimination of the problem. A good hypnotherapy program for weight loss should involve several specific ele- ments; a good one-on-one relationship with a registered hypnotherapist. The client as a whole person will be evaluated - not just their 'problem'. The clients self-esteem and self-con- fidence will be supported and increased. The attitude towards food, especially your favourite indulgence will be altered to reduce the conceived importance of food as it relates to feelings of well being, So next time life stomps on you what then? Do you deserve to indulge...possible. Will you...probably not. Because you are now on your way to your dream weight, your self- esteem is high. You recognize your emotional triggers and know how to deal with them, You are so self-confident that no 'sneaky little voice' can tell you when you deserve to indulge. You make your own decisions based on a whole dif- ferent point of view. Alpha Change Hypnosis is located at 158 Harwood Ave. South, Suite 207, Ajax.

Right-of-way isn’t always so clear To the editor: Re: ‘Stop means stop so don’t test my limits,’opinion shaper column, Jan. 11. Jennifer Hibbert’s column is very good, save for a comment she makes in her first point. She writes, “The rule of thumb: whoever gets there first (stop sign) actually gets to go first.” Well, not always. Unless it’s a posted four-way-stop in- tersection, a car that’s turning does not have the right of way over a car going straight. If you’re at a two-way stop turn- ing left and there’s a car facing you going straight through, it doesn’t matter if he got there after you did. That driver has the right-of-way. I have to tolerate straight-through dri- vers who don’t realize this and sit there, or drivers who turn in front of me, at the end of my road almost daily. It’s danger- ous and it’s tiresome. The correct method is in the driver’s handbook. I wish more people would take the time to read it.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 27, 2002 It’s a question of priorities. Should Durham Regional Police do as Pickering council is asking and set up a domestic violence unit? Yes they should. Trained officers with the skills and knowledge of proper protocol in dealing with often sticky domestic situations could help stem the tide of spousal abuse and murder in the re- gion, which has already cost us so much. The problem is, as one local councillor was quick to point out, how do we pay for it? An estimated $92-million budget in 2002 for police services in the re- gion is barely affordable. Few would support a property tax hike to cover the costs, so room must be found inside that budget for the unit that some say would need at least six new officers and countless hours of specified training. The solution seems simple to me. Police need to look at areas where they are wasting valuable resources fighting a battle they can never hope to win. The war on drugs, at least from the criminal enforcement side of things, was lost a long time ago. Yet, it seems like every time you turn the page of the News Advertiser, cops are busting another marijuana grow- ing operation. Is anyone still under the misguid- ed impression that raiding a pot lab is doing anything at all to diminish the available supply? And really, is marijuana that bad? No matter how many hours and dollars police spend building a case, tracking the growers down, raiding their operations, and parading them through the court system, marijuana is as readily available as it was be- fore. They can bust as many people and seize as many plants as they want; it’s just a drop in the bucket. It may not be realistic to ask politicians to legalize weed, but with medicinal marijuana already ap- proved and several other pressing is- sues a bit more important (see guns, gangs, domestic violence, etc.) this prohibition has passed its prime and legalization — or at least decrimi- nalization — should be on the way. Let’s take a bold stand here in Durham. Let’s spend our money wisely. Instead of spending innumer- able hours and immeasurable dollars enforcing ineffective laws that do nothing to prevent the problem — if it even is one — create a domestic violence unit. For me it’s just a question of pri- orities. I’d rather have the wife beat- er in jail and his spouse properly protected than continue watching our police bang their heads against a brick wall.

The cash has been returned because the Greater Toronto Ser- vices Board has been dumped, leaving local municipalities with much-needed funding that can go towards transit authorities which, let’s face it, run on substantial annual deficits and have in- frastructure in desperate need of repair and renewal. In Oshawa, for instance, many of the buses are creaking, far past their best-before dates. The City is looking at buying 21 new buses over six years at a cost of about $3.2 million. Pickering and Ajax, which just amalgamated their transit sys- tems, face challenges associated with massive growth, as does Whitby. Clarington is going ahead with a north-south route in Bow- manville and will contract out service from Oshawa. In terms of co-operation, Oshawa already runs buses into Whitby and Courtice. It would appear the groundwork has been started to achieve some type of regional transit system. The eight-mayor, five-coun- cillor regional transit task force has recommended the hiring of a consultant to determine the best way to deliver a regional system. The key involves several sensible east-west and north-south links. One suggestion would have buses travel across Taunton and Rossland roads, a good idea but one that would require mas- sive construction on sections of both arteries to make them ser- viceable for transit. North-south links along major roads in most of the municipalities are now available, which would provide convenience for the system. The major problem in Durham will be providing linkage for the three northern municipalities. How often would buses run into Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog? How cost-effective would the northern swing be? Hopefully a study could come up with an- swers to these difficult questions. While it’s vital Hwy. 407 come through Durham to Hwy 35/115 in Clarington, if only to offer a bypass around Hwy. 401 through the Greater Toronto Area for heavy trucks, it’s just as im- portant to construct a regional passenger transit system that offers commuters an attractive option to using their cars every day. In addition, as Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology grows over the next decade, options will be need- ed to bring students to the campus. A transit system that serves the entire region will be just the ticket. It’s up to our regional politicians to make it a reality. We can’t miss bus on transit system While questions remain, council must make regional routes a reality in Durham Martin Derbyshire Staff Writer mderbyshire@ durhamregion.com what they wanted to hear, and we’re forever in debt to Mike Harris for that.” The University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology was first announced last year, along with $60 million in funding, during the budget speech and the pass- ing of provincial legislation to make it a legal entity is expected this spring. Although Mr. Eves insisted Ontario is in a better state today than when the Tories first came to power in 1995, he mentioned some areas in need of improve- ment. An issue of personal impor- tance to the former finance min- ister and deputy premier, who left politics for the private sector in February 2001 after 20 years as an MPP, is education for spe- cial-needs students at the post- secondary level. “Society is judged not by how well we treat the most privileged, or the most well off, but how we treated our less fortunate,” he said, recalling how difficult it was to find a university for his learning-disabled son, Justin. “One-point-four-billion dollars will be invested this year into special education. This is the most by far in any government of Ontario’s history.” He added special task forces have been assigned and will stay in place at post-secondary insti- tutions to make sure students with special needs are being served. Mr. Eves said he plans on continuing the Harris tradition of getting the job done by not sur- rounding himself with “yes men” or giving in to popular de- mand. He used the education situa- tion as an example. “I believe we have a better curriculum today in the province of Ontario than we had when we started,” he said. “Even most teachers agree with that,” al- though, he noted, they may not agree with the methods used to get there. What the Province does now for health care is vital in achiev- ing success in the future, said Mr. Eves. Public health may not be sustainable 10 or 20 years down the road if certain adapta- tions are not made, he said. “There are problems,” he said. “We must be prepared to look at all the options to rehabil- itate (the system), to not be afraid of different solutions.” In an interview following the speech, Ms. Ecker explained why she thinks Mr. Eves is the man for the job. “When you look at what we need here in Durham Region and in Ontario, we need a leader who has depth and security of leader- ship,” she said. “He’s been in government in the good times and in the bad times.” Mr. Eves is running for the job against Whitby-Ajax Jim Flaherty, who is the current fi- nance minister and deputy pre- mier, Labour Minister Chris Stockwell, Health Minister Tony Clement and Environment Min- ister Elizabeth Witmer.

Bring your dog and check it out. My name is Marjorie Garst. I live with my husband John. I am a homemaker and mother of four. I volunteer as a foster mother for newborn babies. I lost a remarkable 71 pounds in eight short months without dieting. I went from a chubby size 20 to a trim size 10! This is my true-life account of genuine, lasting weight loss success. I had read the hypnosis’ads for months. Frankly, I was skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. Then I saw a special report on the News. It featured folks who had quit smoking and dropped weight with hypnosis. One lady said she lost over 90 lbs. She said hypnosis made it simple. That got my attention. I honestly didn’t think the people in the ads were real until I saw it on the 11:00 News. Now it’s happened to me and I have my own true story to tell. Embarrassed and Ashamed I dreaded my yearly visits to the doctor. My weight was climbing at a rate of ten or more pounds a year. It was dangerous for me to gain weight. My blood pressure and cholesterol were sky high. My joints were stiff and ached con- stantly. I could barely lift myself out of a chair. My health was in jeopardy. Yet I couldn’t stop eating. I was out of control. I was a career snacker. I sat on the sofa, watched TV and ate. I sat at the kitchen table, read the newspaper and ate. When I fed my foster babies, I fed myself too. I lived on sweets and soda pop. Food seemed to have some mysteri- ous power over me. I ate all day. With every expansion of my hips and thighs my self-confidence withered. I was embarrassed, shy and reserved. Dieting was the most confus- ing and frustrating experience of my life. Diets made me crave and binge. The only way I lost weight was by starving myself. I lost ten pounds once. Then I gave up and my weight came right back plus ten pounds more. My self-esteem was demolished. Immediate Results I was nervous when I called for the appointment. I didn’t want to be pressured. The free hypnotic screening was a wonderful surprise. My consultant was genuinely interested in me. The high- pressure sales pitch never happened. She explained hypnosis in a relaxed, enter- taining way. She went over the guarantee. I was impressed. If I couldn’t be hypno- tized,I would get a full refund. I had noth- ing to lose except a lot of fat. I signed up. My new eating habits started immediately after my first session. My hunger pangs disappeared. My taste for soda pop vanished. I found myself crav- ing healthy foods. Fruits and vegetables tasted different. It was like my taste buds came alive. One day I was walking through the grocery store. I marched right past the bakery, candy, chips and soda without a glance. That’s when I was con- vinced. Hypnosis had completely changed my tastes. Doctor’s Delight! My last visit to my doctor was a thrill! My doctor nodded his head with delight. He confirmed my 71-pound weight loss. For the first time in my life my blood work and cholesterol are nor- mal without pills! I feel fantastic. No more aches and pains. No more cravings or binges. Best of all, hypnosis eliminated dieting for good! Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effortless. I know I will never gain the weight back. All the changes are permanent. I have a whole different way of thinking about what I put into my body. I never feel deprived. Self-Confidence Soars! When I was overweight I was extremely withdrawn. Some days I hard- ly spoke a word. I thought everyone was judging me. My self-worth was zero. When the weight came off I felt better about myself. Hypnosis helped me relax. I gained a feeling of inner peace. I knew I was back in control of my life. One Sunday my minister asked me to stand up in church to announce how much weight I had lost. After the service folks surrounded me to ask how I did it. I was com- pletely comfortable chatting away with them. I couldn’t believe it was me! So relaxed! So confident! There are now eleven members of our church losing weight with hypnosis. Including my husband, John! He’s already lost 30 pounds! My entire family has changed thanks to hypnosis. My son lost 30 pounds. My 83-year-old mother lost 18 pounds. We’re saving money on our food bill every week. What a bonus! Twenty Years Younger I thought I’d never wear a bathing suit again. On the 4th of July I gazed at myself in the mirror. I was wear- ing a sexy black and purple one-piece suit. I loved what I saw! I wore it that day and many days since. The best day of my life was spent filling two giant boxes with fat clothes I’ll never wear again. People say I look twenty years younger. They won- der why I’m always smiling. I have tons of energy. I’m light on my feet. I have a social life! I owe it all to the power of hypnosis. Invaluable! My results using hypnosis are invaluable to me. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. I believe in hypnosis. I’m certain you’ll be as thrilled as I am. I know because I’ve met lots of other folks who are getting results like mine. They’ve shed 50, 60, even 90 pounds with ease.

A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 27, 2002 But know costs, what’s needed before you plunge in BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM - Does your base- ment look like, well, a basement? It doesn’t have to. You can have a finished basement and you can even do it yourself. It sounds like a big job but, by taking some courses at local supply stores or even reading a book or two, you can handle all the work required. Glenn King, of Home Depot in Oshawa, says people often think they can’t manage jobs such as installa- tion of studs, drywalling and floor- ing. But he’s found they change their minds once they learn how to do the required work. Home Depot regularly runs Home Depot University, a series of courses designed to teach people how to finish their basements and do other jobs around the house. Many people take those courses, not intending to do the actual work themselves, but to ensure they know what to expect from the contractor they’re going to hire to do the work, he says. It doesn’t always turn out that way. “A lot of them end up doing it themselves because they find it’s not all that difficult,”he says. “Eighty per cent of our business is do-it-your- selfers.” Before you begin,you need a plan and a budget. Decide what you want the basement to look like when it’s finished - ceilings, walls, floors. Then figure out how much you can spend. The average cost, Mr. King says, is between $3,000 to $6,000, and that’s the basics. If you want extras - fancier lights, panelling instead of paint, or carpet, be pre- pared to pay more. “You can actually double the price,” Mr. King says. With a plan and a budget and plenty of measurements, you can get help with what you’ll need from local stores. These businesses provide formu- las that will help you painlessly work out the amount of studs, drywall and other materials needed for your pro- ject. (One other thing you might want to check is whether you’ll need a building permit. Chances are you will. And check into building codes too so you can ensure all work is done to standard. Your municipality will provide you with the informa- tion you need.) Before you can begin, you need the proper tools. Mr. King advises basic tools are all you’ll need. You won’t need table saws or planes or even a workbench. Tools to have in- clude a caulking gun,a square,a saw, a hammer, a skill saw, drywall knife, drywall trowel, drywall sanders (manual) and a battery-operated drill. You can spend little or a lot on tools. If you’re just going to be doing this one project, and you don’t al- ready have these tools, you might want to go for the less costly tools or even rent them, Mr. King says. But the basics are things you should have around the house anyway, he notes. When it’s time to start work, you’ll begin with the studs. There are the traditional wood ones or the newer, galvanized metal ones, made from recycled metal, which are catching on, Mr. King says. Some people find them easier to work with and they can be cut to size using tin clippers. These involve less effort and less dust, he adds. They’re also less ex- pensive and will stay good and straight. However, supporting or load- bearing walls must have wood studs. Then it’s time for insulation, which comes in premeasured bales. Gloves and a mask are required for this. Once that’s up, put up a vapour barrier,sheets of plastic which are stapled (to wood) or glued (wood and metal) onto studs. This keeps condensation from getting in and rotting the insulation. It’s drywall time now. Drywall sheets are screwed to the studs. Mr. King says screws are better since you won’t be using a hammer. With a hammer, you could end up denting the drywall. If you’re adding a bath- room, you’ll need special drywall that keeps water out. Once drywall is up, it needs to be taped (seams) and drywall com- pound (or mud, as it’s called) added to make the wall smooth. The compound will have to be sanded and more layers added to get to the finished product. Some skill is needed here but it’s not difficult to pick up, Mr. King says. The mud comes premixed in buckets, probably the easiest for do- it-yourselfers. For sanding, get drywall sanders which have holes so the dust goes right through and doesn’t clog up, he says. If you’re drywalling the ceiling, put it up first, before you do the walls. You can rent tools that push up drywall sheets and hold them in place while you screw them in, Mr. King says. If you’re installing ceiling tiles, you’ll need to put up tracks. With measurements and adjustments, un- even ceilings can be levelled this way, he said. You can also stucco the ceiling, a popular choice. Before painting or wallpapering, prime the walls. If you paper without priming, it’s difficult to get that paper off, Mr. King says. Floors can be carpet, hardwood, ceramic tiles, or vinyl tiles. Mr. King recommends some sort of platform, to keep the flooring off the concrete and the dampness found in most basements. With ceramic tiles, you’ll need to learn about grout and how to apply it. But, like dry- walling, the skill can be acquired, Mr. King says. As for lighting and plumbing, it’s probably best to get professionals in to do this, Mr. King said. These jobs have to be inspected anyway, even if you do it yourself, he says. “I would advise any homeowner to get an electrician to come and do this and get a plumber to do the plumbing,” he says. “It’s best to have these jobs done right.” Then you can sit back and enjoy your handiwork and new rec room. Do-it-yourselfers can buff up a basement Home Depot Oshawa pro sales manager Glenn King says with the right advice and tools, people can complete projects they initially thought exceeded their limits.

Curves provides a thirty minute total work- out and weight loss coun- selling in the same place. “The reason Curves for Women franchises grow so rapidly is because Curves is a unique con- cept in the exercise indus- try,” says owner and man- ager Joanna Lopez. “The facility is built around a breakthrough in exercise with the use of the Quickfit circuit. It’s a complete workout in just half an hour.” The Quickfit circuit is a system of exercise that alternates hydraulic resis- tance machines with aero- bic recovery stations. As you move around the cir- cuit, enjoying the music, you perform both cardio and strength training at the same time. “The thirty minute total workout burns as much as 500 calories.” says Joanna. “Because you’re moving fluid rather than weights, it’s safe for any age or con- dition. “Weight loss is the main reason women join our facility,” says Joanna. “But along with weight loss are health reasons such as osteoporosis; arthritis and diabetes; more energy; decrease stress and firm up. Members are successful in reaching their fitness goals for the first time because the workout is quick and fun, the atmosphere is not intimidating and monthly consultations monitor and motivate. We also run challenges and exciting promotions that encour- age members to come three times a week, the best frequency for the best Curves for Women, 30 Minute Fitness and Weight Loss Centres, Opens Another Pickering location results.” The testimonials given by the members are an indication of the facility’s success.

"No matter what your age or level of fitness, whether or not you have experience, we have a class for you," says Cees Keukens of Rising Sun Martial Arts. "For us at Rising Sun, our students are the most impor- tant. We focus on discipline, patience, respect, self-esteem, physical fitness, stress relief The old myth of children suffering stunted growth due to weight train- ing is about as believable as the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. With kids we’re talking about training and as a means of improv- ing performance and strengthening the joints so there is less injury. Overweight kids often don’t do well at running and cycling, but the one thing they do well is strength training. Strength training can also show kids success and gives a child confidence.

Get Fit and Improve Self-Confidence With Martial Arts and having fun," says Mr. Keukens. "Our classes are broken up by both age and belt level. Kids train with other kids and adults train with other adults," he says. A former world champion who has trained and coached people from beginner to world champi- onships, Mr. Keukens enjoys helping every- one achieve their indi- vidual goals. Rising Sun Martial Arts concentrates on student improvement rather than competi- tion, and offers begin- ner classes designed to give students impor- tant basic skills that will allow them to go as far as they wish. Many women want to develop self- defense skills, while martial arts offers both men and women a chance to improve their physical fitness. "For adults, mar- tial arts is a great way to get in shape and is wonderful for reliev- ing stress. Children benefit by learning discipline as well as how to concentrate and focus their atten- tion," says Mr. Keukens. Tai chi, for exam- ple, offers a therapeu- tic, low-impact work- out for the mind and body. It is suitable for seniors and those with physical limitations, as students gain muscle control through relaxed, slow move- ments. Jiu jitsu offers joint manipulation and is geared toward self- defense, while karate and kickboxing are more high impact and offer total body condi- tioning. Rising Sun Martial Arts has more than 30 years experience in martial arts and has offered classes in the Ajax-Pickering com- munity for 14 years. Choose from pro- grams offered seven days a week, day and evening classes, at the Ajax Plaza on Harwood Avenue and at the Pickering Recreation Complex.

But with all the different methods of weight loss being marketed at des- perate individuals that have tried and failed before, which ones real- ly work? There is no quick fix, no special pill, noth- ing abnormal. The only way to lose weight and become healthier is a change of lifestyle. You must learn how to eat properly balanced nutrition. That doesn’t mean you can’t have your favourites any- more. Most people look for the quick fix; “Take the fat off me as fast as possible so I can be thin again!” There are weight loss programs that can accomplish this, but in the long run, you will gain it back again, and in some cases, damage yourself inside to get there. In these cases, it would be easier on your heart and organs to stay heavy than to get caught in the “yo-yo” syndrome like most Canadians. Unless you learn how to lose your weight safely and keep it off for life using a common sense, well balanced grocery food plan, you will never succeed at losing that weight. For Canadians that join the average weight loss centre and manage to reach their goal weight, 95% gain it back within the next 2 years. So many people come in to Herbal Magic Weight Management and Nutrition Centres with histories of joining other weight loss cen- tres, with a significant weight loss, only to gain it all back and more. For those who can relate to this, it was not your failure, it was your program that failed you. Taking pills or special foods and shakes might help you lose weight, but you don’t solve the underly- ing problem that made you gain weight in the first place. After you have reached your goal and stop taking these prod- ucts, you go back to your old eating habits and gain it all back, and then some. High pro- tein diets are another damaging way of losing weight. People are caught up in the dra- matic big losses of pounds, but don’t real- ize that they are damag- ing their kidneys and Keeping a New Year's resolution to get fit and take better care of yourself can be difficult, but with a wide selection of fitness classes, high quality child care ser- vices, pay-as-you-go services and even short-term mem- berships, the Pickering Recreation Complex can help you meet your goal this year. And to get started, bring this ad in before February 15th and enjoy a complimen- tary fitness class. Choose from a wide selection of classes throughout the day and evening, including yoga, toning and aerobox, as well as classes designed to meet medical needs such as osteo- porosis. Fitness instructors understand the difficulties many people, particularly women, face when begin- ning and sustaining physical activity. According to Statistics Canada, women are unlikely to hit the gym if they are overweight, proba- bly because of the undue emphasis society places on looks. But fitness instructors are working moms, too, and understand the challenge of trying to make the time to do the right thing. They invite you to feel the support of a group exercise class that meets your interests and schedule.

They could even make it very difficult to lose weight properly once they gain their weight back again. Canadians are also being misled that EMS (electric muscle stimulation) will help them lose body fat. Any exercise physiologists will tell you that this is impossible.

The ONLY method of weight loss that can work is to teach the individual how to eat balanced nutrition using their own grocery store bought foods. This cannot be done in group meetings or by using “fad diets”. It must be taught on an individual basis to ensure the clients learn what food they must avoid and what changes they must make to their nutritional habits to become more balanced. This cannot be learned in a short term. Habits need to be changed over a period of time. Weight loss can be expensive. It is a multi billion dollar industry with North Americans trying absolutely every gimmick out there to lose some inches, usually get- ting frustrated after dropping so much cash and feeling like a failure. It doesn’t need to be like that. Learning how to lose weight in a safe consistent manner and then learning how to increase your calories once you get to your goal weight, so you can maintain a healthy new you is MOST important and beneficial for a healthier life. To find out more about how you can take it off and keep it off, call Herbal magic at (905) 426-9261 Ajax or (905) 420-0003 Pickering. Getting The Skinny On Body Fat Until recently, the scale was the only device that dieters dreaded. Perched on it for only a second in the morning, it could make or break our day. Lurking in the bathroom corner like a childhood bogeyman, it repre- sented a necessary evil in our lives, a tool that we allowed too much control. But now, thank goodness, we’ve been given a reprieve. As it turns out, our weight isn’t the main factor of whether or not we’re unhealthy. What really matters is the amount of body fat that we carry, and that varies from person to person. For example, three men or women may be the same height, but differing weights. The heav- iest is the fattest, right? Not so, as the heavier one may simply be car- rying more muscle. In fact the light- est of the three may have the highest percentage of body fat, and there- fore all of the health risks that accompany it. What are the ideal percentages of body fat? They differ between men and women, and also between certain ages. For men under 40, 7- 10% is extremely low, often found only in long-distance runners. The average is between 14-20%, with the high range between 18-25%. Over that, and you have some serious health risks. For men over 40, the measurements run about six or seven percentage points higher. Women normally carry more body fat than men, so a very low rating for women under 40 is 14- 18%. Normal is around 18-26%, and high between 27 and 32%. Over 40, add three to four percentage points, but any percentage over 33% is cause for some dietary adjustments.

The Durham District School Board publishes an attendance report each year, detailing which trustee at- tended what public board, special board and standing committee meet- ing over the previous 12 months. The report, covering the period ending Nov. 30, also shows atten- dance at committee of the whole meetings, when trustees meet private- ly. The report, included in the agenda of Monday’s board meeting, shows two trustees, Ajax Wards 1 and 2 rep- resentative Marilyn Crawford and Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Lo- raine, had perfect records, attending all 26 regular or special board and standing committee meetings. Whitby Trustee and board chair- man Elizabeth Roy and Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford each missed one meeting. Three trustees, Paul Crawford (Pickering), Martin Demmers (Scu- gog) and Kathleen Hopper (Oshawa), were absent for two special meetings apiece. Oshawa trustees Cynthia Steffen and Susan Shetler and Whitby Trustee Doug Ross were each absent for three meetings, while Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge had the worst attendance record, missing four meet- ings.

Billboard January 27, 2002 Board invests vote of confidence in Trbovich Trustees back business superintendent on investment fund decisions DURHAM —Public school board trustees gave their busi- ness department a vote of confi- dence at Monday night’s meet- ing. The Durham District School Board reaffirmed its support of business superintendent Ron Tr- bovich and his staff as the board’s investment fund man- agers. At a meeting last month, two residents in a letter accused board staff of violating the Edu- cation Act by not seeking the ap- proval of trustees to spend $10 million over and above the ap- proved 2000/01 budget. Most of that money was to purchase an investment for the board’s sinking fund, designed to repay the $160-million debt the board incurred to finance its first school building plan. Scugog Trustee Martin Dem- mers’ defence of the letter as “constructive” prompted Mr. Tr- bovich to threaten to quit man- aging the fund. But given the option Monday night of issuing a request for proposals to find a fund manag- er, trustees opted to stick with board staff. “I think that staff does a very good job of investing the money,” said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. “It would be a huge mistake to go outside the board.” She added it’s not trustees’ job to “micromanage staff”. Trustee Demmers did ask Mr. Trbovich if the Education Act required him to get trustees’ ap- proval before spending money beyond the approved budget. Mr. Trbovich, while not say- ing ‘yes’ or ‘no’, replied the sinking fund is different than other expenditures because in- vestments made there pay down the board’s debt.

RCMP officer walks in municipal cop’s shoes BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer DURHAM —A RCMP officer will go from handling underage drinkers in Whitby to investigating the smuggling of alcohol between the Canada and U.S. border, all in a matter of months. Constable Shawn Villaroel, 26, is getting a taste of municipal policing through a joint project between the Toronto East RCMP detachment in Bowmanville and Durham Regional Police. He will spend three months walking in the shoes of a community police officer. “I enjoy the opportunity to go out and answer a call and try to resolve the problem,” said Const. Villaroel. “Being out on the road and seeing the community... it gives you a sense you’re making a difference.” While he was trained in municipal policing in Regina, the RCMP in On- tario primarily enforces federal laws and conducts plainclothes investiga- tions. The RCMP approached Durham po- lice about the project, which allows On- tario RCMP officers the chance for community policing experience. Const. Villaroel is the sixth officer to go through the program. Durham Deputy Chief Rod Piukkala said both forces benefit from the mar- riage. “Our members are exposed to different ideas and thoughts on polic- ing,” he said. “On a networking per- spective, it’s very good for all of us.” Const. Villaroel was sworn in with Durham Regional Police in December 2001 and has since responded to typical calls, including domestic assaults, trou- ble with youths, car crashes and suspi- cious people and vehicles. His duties and attire will change when he returns to the RCMP detach- ment. He’ll hang up his uniform and perform surveillance duties in plain- clothes while assigned to the customs and excise unit. Const. Villaroel will be wrapped up in lengthy investigations involving the illegal importing and ex- porting of alcohol and tobacco. “There’s no instant gratification,” he said, noting the investigations can take months or years to complete. He was hired in November 2001 by the RCMP and hails from Montreal where he was a supervisor for the crime prevention department of a non-profit youth organization. Const. Villaroel is paired with Durham Constable Gill Lock. “Shawn’s been a great rookie,” said Const. Lock, who volunteered to get in- volved with the program. Const. Villaroel has accompanied her on various assignments to provide him with a sense of the diversity of mu- nicipal policing. While on the road, a few residents have commented on Const. Villaroel’s different uniform and have made the odd joke about him lacking a horse. “People really enjoy the fact the RCMP is out in the public,” Const. Lock said. “I hope we maintain the liaison. It’s a different perspective on the ability of the federal and municipal groups to work together.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 27, 2002 PAGE 21 A/P Mountie gets a lesson in community policing RCMP Constable Shawn Villaroel is getting a new perspective on law en- forcement with the help of Durham Regional Police Constable Gill Lock.

Regional politicians have agreed to poll area municipalities to determine if a majority support a bylaw regulating tobacco use in public places and workplaces. It’s now up to the eight municipalities to decide if a smoking bylaw is in the cards for Durham Region, following a 19-5 vote that took place Wednesday - coincidently falling in the middle of national non-smoking week - in the Regional council chambers. Some of the strongest support came from councillors representing Pickering, the city that requested the Region consider a bylaw that would encompass all Durham’s munici- palities to create a “level playing field” as op- posed to a mish-mash of policies across the region. “While smoking may be a lifestyle choice, second-hand smoke is not,” said Pickering Councillor Mark Holland. “We can’t make it illegal to smoke but we certainly can ensure when children walk into an establishment they’re not subjected to second-hand smoke,” he said. His fellow Pickering councillor and health and social services committee member Mau- rice Brenner said if the Region gets the green light from a majority of the municipalities, the health department will “embark on public consultation” that will include everyone inter- ested in participating, regardless of what side of the issue they represent. “It’s not black and white, it’s not cut and dry,” the councillor said, noting, “I’m asking for a level playing field. That’s it. We are the last region to deal with this matter, we’re not leading the way, we’re trailing the way.” Five of the eight municipalities must agree for the Region to proceed with consultation and a bylaw regulating smoking in public places including restaurants, workplaces and bingo halls. Once the bylaw is drafted, Re- gional council must give its blessing before it is enacted. The idea didn’t sit well with Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond, who said the double majority of municipal and regional councils doesn’t go far enough in ensuring the process is democratic. Given that smoking regulation is currently the responsibility of the area mu- nicipalities, not the Region, the Oshawa mayor said any decision to proceed with a bylaw should also require consent of repre- sentatives for 50 per cent of the overall popu- lation of the region. “This is an important migration of service and I believe population base should be sig- nificant,” said the mayor. The area municipalities have until Feb. 28 to tell the Region whether they would support creation of a regionwide bylaw following pub- lic consultation to include residents, the enter- tainment industry and business owners. In Toronto and some neighbouring regions, smoking bylaws have already been created prohibiting smoking in restaurants and work- places. In Toronto, bars will also have to come into compliance with this bylaw by June 2004. Clarington conducted a survey on its mu- nicipal Web site (www.municipality.claring- ton.on.ca) which found 76 per cent of respon- dents are in favour of regulating smoking in public places. In total 326 people responded to the survey, says Mayor John Mutton, who ini- tiated the survey late last fall. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle told coun- cil his municipality has been receiving letters on this issue and some restaurants have al- ready begun banning smoking voluntarily. “We need to have that debate in our own com- munities,” he said.

Expires Feb. 28th The restoration of a piece of furniture is a labour of love for Sandra Dee. Each piece brought in to her Pickering workshop is treated as if it were her own. The final result is a precious reminder that what is old can be new again. For the past ten years Sandra has been bringing to life all varieties of furniture made from many different kinds of wood. Her company, Sandra Dee’s Finishing Touch, is located at 1019 Toy Avenue Unit 3 off Bayly St. When you bring a piece to her shop it’s not simply sanded, painted and patched up. It goes through a complete restoration. “Each piece is first disas- sembled into its individual com- ponents,” says Sandra. “Then they’re carefully examined for imperfections and damage before being restored and reassembled.” Missing pieces are designed and constructed to match the furniture. Instead of brackets and screws, Sandra uses dowel, mortise and dove- tail joints as they were used when the furniture was origi- nally built. “What I do is use the same wood and method of con- struction as the original piece to preserve its authenticity and originality,” says Sandra. If quality craftsmanship and value for your dollar count, Sandra Dee’s Finishing Touch is the place to go. Something else you will find at Sandra’s shop is a commitment to providing the highest quality service to her customers at the best price possible. Her no-non- sense honest approach towards customer service has earned her a solid reputation with all her customers. For more information, or to inquire about having a piece of furniture finished or re-finished, contact Sandra Dee at (905) 426- 5992. Your Furniture is Brought Back to Life At Sandra Dee’s Finishing Touch Sandra Dee is restoring an tea cart in her Pickering shop at 1019 Toy Avenue in Pickering.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 27, 2002 PAGE 25 A/P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 27, 2002 Double ‘A’ Panthers double up on Ajax Fax it: 905-683-7363 Ajax girl earns spot on North American softball team BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —An Ajax softball player will take the field next year with a roster of Americans and Canadians competing at a prestigious internation- al showcase. Krystle Alexopoulos, 16, was chosen for one of four women’s softball teams that will compete in Cup 2002 in Amsterdam and Paris Jan. 15 to 22, 2003. The U.S. squads will play a host of Eu- ropean teams at the eighth annual event. “I was excited,” noted Alexopoulos after get- ting the good news. “I didn’t expect to be on the team.” A centre-fielder with the Markham Cougars bantam girls’ softball squad, Alexopoulos was among a group of Cougars players to make the trip to the annual selection and training camp for the Cup teams at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio two weeks ago. The camp featured more than 200 players from across the U.S. and Cana- da who were put through their paces with a series of drills and scrimmages carried out in front of scouts and Kirt Whiteside, the general manager of the North American teams. “It was a good camp, but with so many people there, it was hard for them to teach things,” noted Alexopoulos, who attends Exeter High School. Soon after the camp, her Markham coach, Howard Dinetz, contacted her to tell her she had made the cut to join one of the four 10-member teams. She was one of two Cougars’ players to find their way on to one of the teams. The North American teams have won the cup at the last four tournaments. To prepare for the tournament, Alexopoulos will continue to play with the Markham Cougars as a second-year bantam player. The team plans to compete in tournaments in Florida and South Car- olina during the 2002 summer season. Centre of attention Krystle Alexopolous, 16, has her glove ready to compete in Cup 2002 in Amster- dam and Paris next winter.

Another tight game saw Envoy Business Services top Gallantry’s Eatery 45-42, as Randy Filinski drilled 16 for the victors and Roger Young nine.
