Pickering council recently lent its support in principle to the proposed Brougham Cen- tral Hotel restoration project. In addition, it authorized staff to negotiate with the federal government on acquiring and relocating a suitable heritage house to the Pickering Muse- um Village site to establish a new program operations cen- tre, which was previously housed inside the hotel. “We did a study which said the hotel should be restored be- cause it has a very strong histo- ry and a need for structural im- provements,” said Pat Dunnill, chairman of the Pickering Mu- seum Village Foundation. “We have lots of dreams, but we de- cided the hotel was the num- ber-one priority.” The foundation will provide the funding for the restoration of the hotel, including all costs involved in moving a drive shed that lies in the spot where the hotel will be moved. Mr. Dunnill estimates the cost at between $450,000 and $500,000. The Brougham Central Hotel is said to be one of the oldest standing buildings in Pickering. According to the foundation, it is likely 180 years old. The building functioned as a hotel from 1850 to 1870 on land that is now home to the in- tersection of Hwy. 7 and Brock Road. The Pickering Museum Vil- lage, in Greenwood, is a “liv- ing museum” that gives people a chance to see what life was like in the 1800s. It welcomes up to 18,000 students each year for educational tours. The hotel has served as the museum’s program operations centre and Mr. Dunnill said the foundation and City staff will negotiate with the federal gov- ernment to bring a heritage home from the federal airport lands in to replace it.

Hotel inn for a big facelift Spelling Bee wins first place for ‘outstanding community service’ DURHAM —The News Advertiser’s Keith Gilligan was among the winners as re- porters and photographers at Metroland’s Durham Division garnered a total of eight awards for editorial excel- lence, including four first- place finishes, at the 2002 Canadian Community News- paper Awards in Nova Scotia last week. “It is gratifying to see our reporters, photographers and editors, guided by editor-in- chief Joanne Burghardt, awarded so much national recognition,” said Tim Whit- taker, publisher of Metroland’s Durham Divi- sion. “They are all very dedicat- ed to covering each of the communities we serve thor- oughly, tirelessly, and profes- sionally.” Mr. Gilligan took second- place honours in the best busi- ness writing category for newspapers with a circulation of 10,000 or more. His three- part series centred on gam- bling and the bid for slots at Picov Downs. Individual honours also in- clude a first-place award to reporters Jacquie McInnes and Susan O’Neill for envi- ronmental writing in the 10,000-plus circulation cate- gory. The two teamed up for a 12-part series on waste man- agement, a vital issue of im- portance to Durham Region. Longtime News Advertiser cartoonist Tim Dolighan, a perennial nominee and award winner, took first place for the best local cartoon, circulation 10,000-plus. His cartoon, which ap- peared in Oshawa-Whitby This Week, highlighted the issue of inmates deemed not criminally responsible for their actions at large in the community. Tim Foran of the Uxbridge Times-Journal took first place for outstanding reporter ini- tiative in the under-10,000 circulation category for sto- Alarms on rise: Pickering fire chief Increased number of fire calls a sign of growing community PICKERING —Picker- ing firefighters had a busy year in 2001, responding to a record number of calls. Local firefighters respond- ed to 4,601 alarms in 2001, up from 4,109 in 2000, according to the 2001 review of Picker- ing Fire Services. The department said it’s the highest number ever recorded. Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas attributed the high numbers to continued growth in the city. “We have a growing popu- lation,” he said. “The number of calls are up and they will continue to grow.” He said specifically the number of medical calls would continue to go up and pointed out the number of motor vehicle accidents re- sponded to by fire services has and will continue to in- crease because of the opening of new transportation routes, like Hwy. 407. In 2001 there were 1,205 medical alarms, 112 vehicle fires, 49 structural fires, and 507 motor vehicle collisions, among others, responded to by Pickering firefighters. The fires had a pretty heavy price tag as well. The 2001 review indicates there was 15 large dollar-loss fires, adding up to an estimat- ed loss of nearly $5.7 million. The McDonald’s Restau- rant at 1360 Kingston Road was the largest single loss at approximately $2.5 million. The entire review is avail- able in PDF format on the City of Pickering’s Internet Web site at www.cityofpick- ering.com. BILL DOUGLAS Number of fire calls will grow. The 2001 Durham Regional Spelling Bee was organized and hosted by the Durham Division of Metroland.See NEWS page A2 News Advertiser family earns national awards Hospital funding back before Durham DURHAM —The issue of hospital funding is making its way back to regional council. “We can’t just sit on the sidelines and point our finger at the Province anymore, it does- n’t help us and it doesn’t help the hospitals,” said Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. He was to bring a motion to Durham council today calling for $4.5 million in support of the planned $40-million capital expansion at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. In the past, council was un- willing to provide funding for local hospitals because it con- sidered health care a provincial responsibility, not that of re- gional taxpayers. But, Coun. Holland said since the Region is considering a donation of $7.5 million to a new Durham cancer centre, it’s time to start considering other needs existing in the region’s health-care sector. “I’m going to support the donation to the cancer centre, but the need is just as great for the services required in west Durham as it is for a cancer cen- tre,” said Coun. Holland. See BROUGHAM page A2 small torpedo of sorts, a ‘sidescan sonar’ takes photographs of the lake floor. Mr. Eyles said the pho- tos clearly show areas of sediment buildup on the bay’s bottom and help identify areas where re- searchers can obtain core samples for testing. He said the samples will likely show evidence of met- als, road salts, hydrocarbons, grease, pet waste and fertilizers. Storm waters enter the bay from the surrounding urban water- shed, which includes major trans- portation routes such as Hwy. 2 and Hwy. 401.

The hotel will be moved to its new home next spring, he added. So far, Mr. Dunnill noted the foundation has $125,000 set aside for the project and has had some discussions with federal and provincial heritage foundations on the prospect of funding help. BROUGHAM from page A1 Brougham hotel slated for makeover BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —French- man’s Bay is in trouble, says a group of university re- searchers going about mak- ing the case for lending the eroding bay a helping hand. Researchers from the University of Toronto at Scarborough and McMaster University say urban storm waters carrying destructive contaminants and sediment are wreaking havoc on the bay and they’re now in the midst of doing the tests that prove it so they can ask Pick- ering to do something about it. “If the City is going to pay lots of dollars for a re- mediation plan we’ve got to have quantitative data,”said Nick Eyles, a University of Toronto at Scarborough pro- fessor and geologist. The City and Ontario In- novation Trust have part- nered with the group of hy- drogeologists, geologists and biologists to undertake the comprehensive study of the Frenchman’s Bay Water- shed. The objectives of the study are to provide informa- tion regarding the changing chemistry and volume of in- flowing storm waters and to identify sources of sediment and contamination. They are using state-of- the-art sonar, radar and mag- netic detection equipment to effectively map sediment on the floor of the bay and took time out Thursday to show the public and members of Pickering council their methodology. Joe Boyce, geophysicist and assistant professor at McMaster, said the equip- ment allows researchers to draw a “detailed map of the harbour bottom”allowing them to “locate the hot spots in the harbour”which aid them in “building a case for remediation”.

The Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority (TRCA) hosts ‘River keeper under the stars’ Friday, July 12 and then a family fun day Saturday, July 13. Ron Holloway of Hampshire, Eng- land will discuss being a river keeper, describing the care he provided for the Itchen River, considered by many fish- ermen as one of the best brown trout rivers in the world. Mr. Holloway’s methods for making habitat changes that encouraged natural reproduction of brown trout were introduced by On- tario in the mid-1980s and were incor- porated into the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) community fisheries involvement program. Mr. Holloway was part of a group that founded the Wild Trout Trust, which helps landowners and fishing clubs understand the principles of stream management, and provides ad- vice and money for stream rehabilita- tion in Great Britain. He speaks Friday at 9 p.m., and will be joined by Lynn Philip Hodgson, the author of ‘Inside Camp X’ and ‘Camp X The Final Battle’. Mr. Hodgson, the ‘Lynn’ in Paulynn, will share his boy- hood memories of the park. The Hodgson family owned and op- erated the park from 1959 to 1975, which had picnic facilities, a dance hall, swimming pool and campgrounds. The family fun day runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes the restora- tion and stabilizing of about 55 metres of the East Duffins Creek bank. Town of Ajax employ- ees, members of the Pickering and Ajax Rod and Gun Club, the Metro East Anglers, MNR personnel, and TRCA staff are doing the work. Visitors can take a tour of the restoration works, make an environmental craft, see a fish checkup, wander through environ- mental displays, and meet Duffy the Duck. Re- freshments will be available. Paulynn Park is on Raven- scroft Road, be- tween Rossland and Taunton roads. For more in- formation, call the TRCA at 416-661-6600, ext. 5392. Offers to help poured in after site was shut down BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––The Durham Rape Crisis Centre’s Web site is back on- line more than a month after it was shut down with the arrest of a sex-as- sault suspect. Linda Jackson, executive director of the Oshawa-based centre, said she was “overwhelmed” with offers to re- launch the agency’s information site at no cost. The site was shut down in May when Toronto Police arrested the owner of a computer business that provided host services to the Web site for free. The Scarborough man and an associ- ate were charged with the gang sexu- al assault of a woman and making and distributing child pornography. Publicity surrounded the centre’s ironic misfortune and nine local busi- nesses came forward offering to re- start the site, said Ms. Jackson. Admittedly apprehensive about accepting the offers, Ms. Jackson said she narrowed the willing compa- nies to three and conducted inter- views. The Web site was re-launched Fri- day with hosting services provided by Web in Motion and programming by Three Wise Men, both Oshawa businesses. “I’d really like to thank the com- munity, the response was lovely. It was overwhelming. I couldn’t have been more thrilled,” Ms. Jackson said. Fred Read and Derek Walmsley, of Web in Motion, and Steven Vetzal, of Three Wise Men Software, were “keen and excited” to help with the site, she said. “They wanted to help. They want- ed nothing from us,” Ms. Jackson said. Mr. Read said the centre provides a valuable service and that when he and his partner heard about the “un- fortunate incident,” they responded. “We’re glad we could help,” he said.

I’m a customer service representative. I’ve been married for 19 years and have two grown children. When I quit smoking at age 40, I packed on pounds so quickly, it made my head spin. I was overweight for 12 long years. I was embarrassed by my weight. I needed extra large clothing to fit around my bulging stomach and hips. Nothing was comfortable. Nothing looked nice. I didn’t want to go to parties or get dressed up. I didn’t want to do anything unless it was in a baggy sweatshirt and tights. Disastrous Dieting! I thought I could take off my weight by myself. I tried the grapefruit diet, the egg diet, and countless other fad diets. The more I dieted, the more I wanted to eat. The more I ate, the more I gained. It was a vicious cycle. Diets and cravings went hand in hand. Every time I’d start a new diet, I would begin craving candy bars. Eventually, I’d eat three or four! My extreme weight had me exhausted. I’d drag myself home from work and barely make it to the couch. I felt dragged out and achy. My blood pressure and cholesterol were sky high. I was I thought about all the Positive Changes success stories I’d read in the newspaper. I remembered that the ads had mentioned a free hypnosis screening. It also said there was a no-risk guarantee. What did I have to lose except about 50 lbs! I picked up the phone to schedule my screening appointment. My hypnotic screening was fun and informative. I learned about the power of my mind. I discovered that hypnosis is relaxing and fun. I would stay in control of my sessions at all times. I had nothing to fear. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and caring. They told me about the program and everything I could expect. There was no sales pressure and the program was surprisingly affordable. I knew my health was getting worse and that I had to do something. I signed up immediately. Instant Results! I noticed a change in my behavior the next morning. I didn’t brew my usual pot of coffee. I reached for a big glass of water instead. I never drank water before! Since being hypnotized, I’ve been drinking at least ten glasses of water a day. It’s automatic! I melted off 6 lbs. my first week and 12 lbs. my first month. I stopped drinking diet soda, coffee and tea. My husband couldn’t believe it. These were major changes for me, but I wasn’t conscious of putting any effort into it. Best of all, hypnosis eliminated those horrible cravings. I never feel deprived. I am satisfied with just the right amounts of food. I have control over what I eat. Compliments Galore! No one can believe the change in me. I was fat for so long, and my weight melted off so quickly, people just couldn’t believe it. Even people who barely know me stop to comment on how great I look. They are always asking me how I did it. I am happy to recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis. In fact, I tell them that I think the Positive Changes Hypnosis’ program is worth more than double what I paid. I am so happy with my results. I love shopping now. I can even wear my daughter’s clothing. I hadn’t bought a bathing suit in 20 years. I will buy one this year! Lasting Results! I am confident that my weight loss is for life. It’s easy to maintain my results because I never feel like I am missing out. I have no cravings and never get hungry between meals. Hypnosis transformed my poor eating habits into healthy, positive behaviors! I enjoy wholesome, nourishing foods. I used to eat a whole bag of potato chips. Now my mind and body seem to reject junk foods. Truly, it’s that simple and easy! constantly chewing on antacids. I worried about what would happen when I got older. My Discovery I discovered Positive Changes Hypnosis in the newspaper. I read and re-read the ads, but put off calling for months. I was skeptical.

Pitch in and graduate to volunteer status River of fun offered this weekend BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING —Police still don’t know why a woman’s home and Mercedes were the targets of a drive-by shooting Thursday on Bayview Street. Not only was the 52-year-old resident not hurt, she apparently slept through the entire shooting, Durham Regional Police said. It wasn’t until she awoke at about 6:30 a.m. that the victim discovered a shotgun blast — one of three — had ripped a large hole through her front door, leav- ing three pellet- sized holes in the wall inside the home, police said. Her Mercedes SL500 parked on the driveway had been sprayed with pellets, with large holes in the dri- ver’s-side win- dow and the front windshield. The passenger head- rest also was hit by the blasts, po- lice said. Sergeant Paul Malik said police canvassed the street and several neighbours re- ported hearing gunshots at about 2:30 a.m. “But no one called the police,” Sgt. Malik said. The suspect is believed to have driven off in a Mercedes, he said. Three shotgun shell casings were recovered by forensic identifi- cation officers, who spent the morning collect- ing evidence from the car and home. Sgt. Malik said detectives are looking into whether the inci- dent may be “do- mestic-related”, but said other possible motives have not been ruled out. “It’s clear this woman was tar- geted for some particular reason, what that may be is still being in- vestigated,” said the officer. At least one possible suspect had already been questioned. Anyone with information is asked to call the Ajax-Pickering criminal investigations branch at 905-683-9100, ext. 2524.

First-time, move-up buyers lead charge, average price shoots way up BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer. DURHAM —A hot spring market may have cooled down a bit this sum- mer, but the average house is continuing to sell for a higher price as the Durham Region real estate market rolls through what just may be another record-setting year. “There’s been a few lulls but mostly that’s because of people being on holidays,” said Durham Region Real Estate Board (DRREB) past-president Brett Puck- rin. In June 2002 there were 767 homes sold in the re- gion. That number is down substantially from May sales of 978 and a peak in April of 1,030. However, Mr. Puckrin said a summer slowdown is the usual course in the real estate market and statistics from the last two years back that up. In June 2001, DRREB reported 843 homes sold, again slightly down from May sales. The year 2001 ended up producing record statistics with 8,535 sales in the region, up over 12 per cent from 7,598 in 2000. Despite the summer lull, Mr. Puckrin said 2002 could still end up being even better than 2001. “In the GTA we’re look- ing at records every month,” he added. “I can’t see things slowing up over the next three or four months.” In 2001 the average sell- ing price of a home (ex- cluding Brock and Uxbridge which weren’t in- cluded in the figures) in- creased to $187,480 from $179,300 in 2000. That was the highest price since the real estate boom of the late 1980s. The average in Durham for the first six months of 2002 (including Brock and Uxbridge) was more than $235,000. Mr. Puckrin said “bid ups” and “multiple offers” are what’s driving prices up in active markets and densely populated areas. “It’s like any other mar- ket, the thing that drives the price up is demand,” he ex- plained. “It’s a combination of a lot of things, there’s a lot of first-time homebuy- ers out there, but there’s just as many move-up buy- ers.” While he said a shortage of rental properties might also be helping to drive de- mand, the real kicker is mortgage rates, still the lowest they’ve been in 40 years. “Interest rates are just super low,” Mr. Puckrin said. “You can get five-year money at under seven per cent.” The general rule of thumb is the closer to Toronto the more expensive a home will be, said Mr. Puckrin, but high prices are now all over Durham be- cause of the area’s many at- tractive neighbourhoods. “Durham is one of the fastest growing communi- ties in all of Canada,” he said. “It’s a great place to live and people want to come and live here.” The new residential housing construction mar- ket seems to be following suit. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) says Durham’s June 2002 housing starts were up 16.6 per cent, to 533, compared to June 2001 totals of 457. “Spillover demand from buyers priced out of the hot Toronto real estate market is fuelling the local housing market,” said Beverly Kueper, market analyst with the CMHC Ontario Business Centre. Pickering starts jumped from just eight in June 2001 to 46 last month and Clarington housing starts were up 97.2 per cent from 36 in June of last year to 71 in 2002. Whitby continued to see the strongest growth in Durham with 202 housing starts this June, despite the fact the numbers were down 16.9 per cent from 243 in the same month last year.

Everyone is welcome to at- tend. The message for Durham Region politicians is clear: where there’s growth there’s garbage. And Durham, expected to nearly double in population by the year 2021, will have a terrible garbage problem on its hands unless dramatic changes are made. To that end, the three northern townships and Clarington are set to participate in an ambitious waste-diversion plan this fall. The four municipalities will join in an expanded recycling program, combined with a new stream of curbside collection for kitchen food waste. The plan is to eventually drive total waste diversion to at least 60 per cent from the approximate 30 per cent it sits at currently. In the meantime, Durham has in place an eight-year con- tract to send 100,000 tonnes of garbage per year down Hwy. 401 to a landfill site in Michigan. While there will always be some residual waste — diversion will probably never hit 100 per cent — the key environmental and economic goal is to dramatically reduce the landfill numbers over time. Jack McCorkell, Durham’s commissioner of works, said the Region is looking for ways to cut landfill. Energy from waste is one option, and others are sure to open up as tech- nology expands to meet demand. In Pickering, 516 homes in the Amberlea community are part of an ongoing successful pilot project that began last No- vember. Under the three-stream waste management system, garbage and household recyclables are separated in a 416-litre split-cart, while kitchen organic waste and yard waste, not in- cluding wood, are set out in a 242-litre cart. The diversion rate continues to run at better than 60 per cent and the project has been extended through 2002. Or consider Peterborough, where a 600-home pilot project has seen diversion hit an impressive 68 per cent. A wide vari- ety of waste, surprisingly including such things as dog feces, kitty litter, and wax paper, has been lumped in with an ag- gressive blue box program that includes every type of plastic bag. The whole program makes good economic sense as the cost per tonne for recycling is $65, compared to $115 for land- fill-bound garbage. Proof, once again, if it was needed, that re- cycling is a much better deal for the taxpayer than landfill. The key for Durham communities will be to measure the success of the new diversion plan for Clarington and north Durham. Householders are expected to buy into the plan, using containers of kitchen waste to help contribute to less landfill. The new program will also have an expanded blue box program that takes items such as tetra pack juice boxes, gable-topped containers, aerosol cans and additional plastics, including laundry detergent and dish soap bottles. There will be an adjustment period for everybody involved and increased awareness must be created. However, the bottom line is simple. Increased diversion is better for our backyards and back pockets. Time to get serious about diversion Keeping waste from landfill is better for our backyards and back pockets The way we were Dale Block The Dale Block, 80, 82, and 84 Old Kingston Rd., was originally called Head’s Hotel, owned in the 1850s by Peter Head. Over the years it was owned and operat- ed by several other innkeepers, then in 1874 it was bought by Edmund Wright and converted to a store and residence. Christopher Dale operated a hardware store there throughout the 1880s and eventually bought the east half of the property, which was the residence. The Dale Block was the largest commercial building in the village and has also been occupied by hardware and dry good stores, two bakers, a doctor, a tailor and the Pickering News.

I never know what to make of Toronto’s gay pride parade. On the one hand I think it is a wonderfully important message to the rest of the world that gay men and women are people just like the rest of us. But on the other, I sometimes wonder if it is not one step forward, two steps back. Every year I look at the front pages of the national newspapers the day after the parade only to see floats full of nearly naked men and women giving the old ‘How’s your father?’ to the crowd. They may put their chaps on one leg at a time, but these peo- ple are not like the rest of us. I can count on one hand the num- ber of times I have stood on a float in bumless leather pants and a devil mask and waved my pri- vates at complete strangers. I know these individuals are only a small percentage of the parade, but they are inevitably the face the press puts on homo- sexuality the next day. It’s the only face millions of people with little or no connection to the gay community will see. I’m no mar- keting mogul, but that’s just not good PR. Where would the civil rights movement be now if in- stead of Martin Luther King’s in- spired march into Washington there had been a parade with floats featuring all the most ridiculous, nonsensical African- American stereotypes you could imagine? A stereotype is a stereotype my friends, and they are never helpful. I am not gay. I have not had to grow up in fear of being taunted, beaten up or worse for simply being who I am and so I cannot hope to fully understand the need gay men and women have for support, solidarity and an outlet from what must be an infuriat- ingly frustrating society to live in. But surely most gay people do not wish to be defined by their sexuality and their sexuality alone? How pathetically confin- ing is that? There are gay mechanics, plumbers, farmers, lawyers, car salesmen, and even gay actors! The world needs to be shown that. Where are the photos of these people having the time of their very normal lives at the pa- rade? Where are the photos of the thousands of parents of gay chil- dren who come to support their loved ones? I suppose the genital wavers and the drag queens sell more newspapers. The crowds seem to love them too. Maybe we should put one or two sexy elves in the Santa Claus parade. Might do wonders for TV revenue. I would like to see a gay pride parade where it is impossible to distinguish the onlookers from the participants. Because guess what folks? That’s how it really is. Being gay is not just about sex or what clothes you wear or how you cut your hair or whether or not you listen to Judy Garland tunes. If it were I would’ve been on a float years ago. Gay Pride? Not from what I can see Images generated from parade seem to take movement two steps back Neil Crone Enter Laughing shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 10, 2002 Proud members of Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 10, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Support needed for toughened child porn laws To the editor: Re: Advertisement calling for signatures on a petition to strengthen child pornography laws, June 28. Focus on the Family Canada Association ran full-page ads April 11 in two national newspa- pers calling for citizens to sign a petition and take action to end child pornography. We have en- couraged concerned citizens to do the same in their local news- papers. Although the recent ad that appeared in your newspaper was not sponsored by our organiza- tion, we would like to commend all citizens taking a stand for children. Together we are send- ing a strong message that Cana- dians do not condone child pornography in any way and our children must be protected. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague attended and spoke at the April launch of our campaign to end child pornogra- phy in Ottawa, along with Pro- gressive Conservative MP Elsie Wayne, and Canadian Alliance MPs Vic Toews and Grant Hill. Mr. McTeague also organized an information session in Ottawa where MPs of all parties could hear from experts in law enforce- ment and psychology on the dan- gers of child pornography. He broke ranks with the majority of the government members and voted for a Canadian Alliance motion urging the government to strengthen child pornography laws and raise the age of consent for sexual activity. Multi-party support is crucial to produce sufficient pressure for the government to toughen laws regarding child pornography and provide more stringent penalties for child pornographers. We would also encourage local citi- zens to sign the petition. Anna Marie White, Community relations manager Focus on the Family Canada Battle rages over pesticide use To the editor: A war of words is under way between those convinced the cos- metic use of pesticides (an um- brella term taking in herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) on lawns and public areas must be banned and those who are either extremely fussy about the ap- pearance of grass, or make their living selling chemical-style lawn care. There is an astonishing amount of evidence leading con- cerned citizens to call for pesti- cide use to be severely curtailed, calls echoed by the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ontario Col- lege of Family Physicians, the Canadian Association of Physi- cians for the Environment and the Ontario Public Health Asso- ciation. In the 1950s, industry promised ‘better living through chemistry’. Now one out of every two men can expect to get cancer in his lifetime, and one of every three women — and this rate is expected to double. Contrary to the claim pesti- cides do not persist in the human body, Health Canada recently is- sued notice of a study that found, after testing farmers 24 and 48 hours after they had applied her- bicides containing 2,4-D, trace levels of the chemical in both urine and semen. The implica- tions of this are truly frightening. To people fanatical about the appearance of lawns, and to those who make their living pushing chemicals, I ask this: do you sup- pose for one minute it is weeds — the dandelion in particular — causing this cancer epidemic? Janet McNeill Port Perry Make council full-time job, cut numbers To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering council plans wage hikes,’June 12. So now our City politicians will earn more money. It has been stated City politicians should earn more than other jobs, such as jan- itors or mail clerks. However, what about the issue of part-time versus full-time jobs? Do we really need to pay $25,000 to councillors who only do their jobs part-time? How does someone who has another full- time job have time to dedicate to the issues that face this City — only on evenings and weekends? If we are to compare them with private-sector functions, then let us ask how many senior execu- tives do their jobs part-time? I say pay them $50,000 to $60,000, have them do their jobs full-time (no more jobs some- where else), and reduce the num- ber on council from seven to five, since if they do their jobs full- time, we won’t need seven execu- tives to manage this city.

These plants, dog strangling vine and common buckthorn’, are similar to purple loosestrife in that they take away habitat from our native plant species and provide little to no benefits for local birds, reptiles, insects and mammals. These plants must be stopped! Volunteers are needed to help with the removal of these two “alien’ plants from a local woodlot area. To find out more about these plants and methods of control, join us for a morning of plant pulling and digging. When: Saturday July 20th, 2002 Where: West Shore Community Centre, off Bayly Street. Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm Meeting Location: Parking Lot All buckthorn plants that are cut down can be used to create habitat brush piles. We will show you how to create these piles so that the small mammals living in this woodlot will reap the benefits during those cold winter months. Plant identification, garbage bags, gloves and shovels will be provided by the Frenchman’s Bay Watershed Rehabilitation Project.

Therefore, I am printing my most recent calls and e- mails dealing with 3Rs opinions and questions. Plastic film:Some depots exist for this material in areas such as Northumberland and Hastings. Presently, the market for plastic film is low and existing markets are well served by what is being collected now. During the early 1980s, many su- permarkets and other stores set up plastic bag recycling bins. To my knowledge, only Dominion Sav-A- Centre in Pickering’s Amberlea shopping centre continues to offer its customers a blue container to re- trieve them. Most dry cleaners col- lect their bags and Sears takes back only its own. The Beer Stores ensure any plastic bags coming into its stores containing beer cans, bottles, caps, and plastic rings are recycled. Canadians take home 55 million plastic supermarket bags a week. It’s time this industry takes stewardship in assuring all plastic bags are made with post-consumer waste. You can avoid them in the first place by tak- ing your own cloth bags when you shop. Computers and monitors:They can be taken to Sears’ back door where they are shipped to Quebec for a ‘computers in schools’ program. This column’s monthly ‘Treasure Chest’ is another way to see your outgrown computer finds a new home. Harold Roehm’s (905-831- 3586) hobby is to service computers and offer a ‘computer library’, whereby he lends out computers for beginners to learn on. Durham Re- gion has its electronics recycling program at its north Oshawa transfer station, 1684 Ritson Rd., but unfor- tunately charges a fee for drop-off. Drywall:Can-Sort, located at 1048 Toy Ave. in Pickering, is the only place in Durham that separates and ships out drywall. It is sent to New West Gypsum Recycling Inc. to be truly recycled into new drywall sheets. Non-profit groups:Organiza- tions can request items they need through the monthly Treasure Chest column. Contact me at 905-420- 5625 for more information. Libraries should have a copy of the Durham Environmental Network’s second edition ‘Your Household Guide to Waste Reduction and Recycling in Durham Region’, which lists these organizations on Page 46. Composting:Questions continue to come my way. Therefore, next week’s col- umn will relate to both the joy and the need to begin compost- ing. Correction: My apologies for the incorrect telephone num- ber in last week’s column. For information on the Sept. 20 and 21 work- shop, ‘extended producer re- sponsibility’, call Janet Mc- Neill, Ontario Environmental Network caucus co-ordinator at 1-888-475- 2444. COMING EVENT:Ajax’s Paulynn Park is the place to be July 12 at 9 p.m. and July 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for envi- ronmentally- themed stories and activities on a number of subjects, includ- ing a river restoration.

However, there is another possible solution: Replace the belt and its tensioner. Designed to apply a constant force to the belt and increase its service life, the automatic tensioner compensates for belt length changes due to wear, and fluctuations in accessory drive operating loads. Gates Rubber company engineers say if your technician recommends changing the tensioner, make sure the replacement parts fits and dampens just like the original equipment component. Replace the engine belt tensioner if noise or vibrations from the front-end accessory drive become excessive.

Click on us at durhamregion.com Larraine Roulston Recycler’s Corner roulstonlp@sympatico.ca You have questions, I have answers Pickering man out to carve reputation on Canadian sprinting scene BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A Pickering sprinter hopes the Commonwealth Games will serve as a springboard to bigger and better things. Anson Henry, 23, will re- ceive his first taste of inter- national competition as one of 42 Canadian track and field athletes at the 2002 Games in Manchester, Eng- land July 25 to Aug. 4. He’ll run for Canada in the premier event — the men’s 100 metres — as well as the men’s 4-x-100m relay, alongside three other teammates on a list that in- cludes Nicolas Macro- zonaris, Pierre Browne, Eric Frempong, all of Toronto, Bruny Surin, of Montreal, and Jermaine Joseph, of Calgary. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s good to get my feet wet in international compe- tition and be ready for the world championships (in Paris in 2003) and the Olympics (in Athens in 2004),” said Henry, reached in England as he continues his training for the games. “This is the first step of get- ting to where I want to be.” Henry also qualified to run in the men’s 200m in England, but decided against it, owing to his al- ready heavy workload at the meet. “I wanted to have something left for the 4-x- 100-metre relay,” he said. The Games came into sharp focus for Henry after a particularly strong Cana- dian Senior Track and Field Championships in Edmon- ton late last month. There, he finished third in the 100m in a time of 10.04 sec- onds. The time was a per- sonal best, albeit wind aided, surpassing his WSU record time of 10.17. Macrozonaris won the event in 9.91 seconds. Prior to the Canadian championships, the Wash- ington State University Cougars (WSU) senior placed a disappointing eighth in the 100m final at the National Collegiate Ath- letic Association (NCAA) outdoor champi- onships in Louisiana. He suffered a ham- string muscle cramp 40 metres into the race, fin- ishing in a time of 11.16. “I was wor- ried that I would be too tired for nationals... but I ended up getting better. I just have to make sure that I stay healthy. It’s been a real long season, so I have to make sure my legs have something left in them,” he said. Henry said if he continues to be healthy he ex- pects to run around 10 sec- onds or 10.1 at the Games, with an eye to getting in the final. “If I get in the final, you never know what can hap- pen,” he said. The graduate of Dunbarton High School said he relishes the chance to be part of the Cana- dian 4-x-100m team that should include Surin, who didn’t run the 100m at na- tionals because of an injury. Surin is expected to anchor the relay team in what is ex- pected to be his final inter- national appearance for Canada. “It’s going to be cool having Bruny on the team. It should be cool to get ad- vice from someone who has been where I want to be,” he said. In preparation for the Games, Henry noted he’ll run at least one warm-up meet in order to become better acclimatized with the competition. He said he’s feeling re- laxed and confident heading into the Games, but ac- knowledged he may get a little tense as they draw closer. “I might be a little more nervous but, honestly, I won’t get nervous to the point that I feel I’m going to break down. It’s something I’ve always dreamed about to run for my country,” he said. Henry’s part of the changing of the guard with- in Canada’s sprinting ranks. Track stars such as Surin, Donovan Bailey and Glen- roy Gilbert have given way to new kids on the block, in- cluding Henry, Macro- zonaris and Browne. “We’re seen as the next generation coming up. I want to be at a level that (my predecessors) achieved,” said Henry. “When people come up to me, I hope they will admire what I did in track and field. I’ve got my foot in the door now and I want to set a good example.” Following the Games, he intends to return to WSU in Pullman, Washington to fin- ish one last semester toward a business degree. After that, he plans to continue getting ready for the 2003 worlds and 2004 Olympics. “I’m going to train for a few more years. I still have a lot more things to accom- plish as far as track and field is concerned,” he said. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 10, 2002 PAGE B1 A/P RODNEY’S OYSTER BAR THURS.

The Pickering racer finished 0.288 seconds behind winner Louis-Philippe Dumoulin in Round 4 of the Canadian Formula Ford Championship series. The race was part of the annual Molson Indy weekend in Toronto and followed the CART event won by Cristiano da Matta. Dumoulin and Guerrieri repeatedly traded the lead spot during the 20-lap race, including two times in the final three laps. Quebec’s Eric Paradis fin- ished third, while Ashley Taws was fourth and Frederick Lelievre was fifth. Taws started from the pole position, be- coming the first woman to qualify first in the series’history. “It was a fantastic fight,” said Guerri- eri on the Formula Ford Web site. “Posi- tions were not really important as we were just fighting as hard as we could. I had a two-second lead when they called for the first caution period. I was not very happy. After that, the fight resumed and Louis-Philippe drove very well. For me, it was important to score championship points today.” Those points leave Guerrieri 23 points behind Dumoulin for the series lead and four ahead of Didier Schraenen in third place. Taws at 48 and Lelievre at 44 round out the Top 5. It was Dumoulin’s third win of the season, while Guerrieri won in June dur- ing the Formula One Grand Prix week- end in Montreal. After qualifying third, Guerrieri drove his NGCL-Cherry Beach Sound Vector to first on Lap 4 before the battle with Dumoulin really took hold. In fact, Guerrieri had the lead on the final lap only to be passed on the lakeshore straight. The series now shifts to Dumoulin’s home town of Trois-Rivières for a week- end of racing Aug. 2 to 4. Drivers make their second visit this season to Mo- sport, near Bowmanville,Aug. 16 to 18. A/P PAGE B2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 10, 2002 RODNEY’S OYSTER BAR THURS.

Sick or Injured Wildlife The staff at the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services Centre is trained and ready to assist you in dealing with sick or injured wildlife. If you encounter wildlife that is sick or injured, wildlife that poses a threat to humans or domestic animals or wildlife that displays signs or symptoms of rabies you should not touch or handle the animal. Please call us. We provide around the clock emergency response involving sick or injured wildlife. Nuisance Wildlife Our trained staff can also offer solutions to help you deal with nuisance wildlife. We do not provide trapping or relocation services for nuisance wildlife. Over the years, it has been found that the most effective way to deal with nuisance wildlife is to wildlife-proof your home or business. Trapping and relocating wildlife only temporarily solves most nuisance wildlife problems. With no “wild” places left to live, another wild animal moves in to fill the niche made for it. The new animal, many times, is even more of a nuisance than the previous one. Relocating wildlife into the woods or the “wilds” is also not in the best interest of the animal. By releasing it into another animal’s territory, it has to fight and compete with the other resident animals for a limited food supply and nesting area. In almost all cases, it is the newcomer that loses, many dying from infection from bite wounds and others killed by cars in an attempt to return to their original territory. It is our experience that the more permanent solution is to learn to live with the wildlife around us. This means that we need to take responsibility for wildlife-proofing our homes and businesses. We need to show empathy for the wildlife and realize that they have nowhere else to go because we are encroaching on their habitat. Reconditioning the offending wildlife is much more effective than removing it from the property and much more humane than destroying it. By teaching one nuisance squirrel to stay out of your attic, your squirrel will continue to defend it’s territory (your yard) from invasion by new squirrels. Most homeowners take it personally when encountering nuisance wildlife problems. They think the animal is being malicious. Wildlife aren’t being malicious. They have merely found an element they need for survival (food, water, shelter, space, etc. ). Sometimes their behaviour is only seasonal (defending young/territory).

Surinder Mundra’s upcoming concert benefits hospital program PICKERING —An up-and-com- ing concert pianist hopes to spread his musical talents this year, while also raising money for a charitable organization that’s close to his heart. Pickering pianist Surinder Mundra performs a concert in Toron- to this November in support of con- genital heart disease. In fact, the 22-year-old also has congenital heart disease and current- ly receives treatment at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at Toronto General Hospital. A third-year student of the Uni- versity of Toronto’s faculty of music, Mundra also studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music and at the Moscow Conservatory of Music. He has performed at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall as well as numer- ous other recitals, festivals and com- petitions across Toronto. The benefit concert, slated for the George Weston Recital Hall at the Toronto Centre for the Arts on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 8 p.m., is an honour for Mundra. The goal is to raise $150,000 for the hospital’s adult congeni- tal heart disease program. “I strongly believe that one can make a dif- ference by shar- ing the talents and resources one has, to con- tribute towards the health and well being of others, espe- cially children, who grow up to adulthood with life-threatening conditions,” said Mundra, in a press release. Works by Mozart, Schu- mann, Chopin, Liszt, and Schubert will be performed at the show. As a student of the piano, Mundra has won numerous scholarships and awards over the past several years. He was re- cipient of the 1996 and 1999 Robert E. Lambton Memorial Scholarships and the 1998 and 1999 Carmel Archembault Memorials Scholarships. In 1999, he received the Paul F. Brown Memorial and John H. Sher- wood Scholar- ships. For more in- formation, call Marie Mundra at 905-420- 8577.

Tryon’s first event as a card-carrying member of the PGA Tour will be the B.C. Open July 18-21. Then, his plans are to play “everything and anything I can get in.” A-BANDON HOPE When participants in the recent Oregon State Amateur showed up for practice rounds at Bandon Dunes, the weather was perfect. The temperature was in the 70s, the wind was friendly. For the first round of qualifying, however, the temperature unexpectedly dropped, oh, some 30 degrees. The wind gusted at 35 mph, a sideways rain lashed participants throughout the day, and a few players failed to break 100. With the one-ball rule in effect, several golfers were disqualified when they ran out of bullets. One woman, former University of Oregon player Megan Heckeroth, shot 88 in the first round and 68 in the second round (when good weather returned). Men’s medalist Mike Haack card- ed 75-65. NO. 2 WITH A BULLET The Forecaddie noticed the ubiquitous mug of Tiger Woods in the July 8 issue of Forbes magazine. Tiger ranked No. 2 behind pop entertainer Britney Spears on the Forbes Power 100 list of celebrities, which fac- tors earnings and “pop- ularity metrics” such as Internet presence, press clippings, magazine cover stories and media mentions. The Man Out Front would have you consider that Steven Spielberg was No. 3; Oprah Winfrey No. 8 and Michael Jordan (the only other athlete in the top 20) No. 9. Ben Curtis (the “Dude, you’re getting a Dell!” computer pitchman, not the former Kent State golfer) was No. 100. TEEN SEEN Cover girl on the Pinehurst, N.C., phone book: Morgan Pressel, who qualified for the 2001 U.S. Women’s Open at age 12. CATCHING UP Myles Byrne, the former caddie of Ian Woosnam, is working as a laborer on building sites near Dublin. Byrne was on Woosie’s bag during the 2001 British Open, when Woosnam was penalized two shots on the first hole of the final round for carrying 15 clubs. Byrne refuses to discuss the incident at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, although his brother Brian Byrne, who caddies for Scotland’s Dean Robertson, said Byrne was offered $25,000 to appear on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Byrne kept his job with Woosnam immediately after the British Open, but lost it when he failed to turn up for the final round of the Volvo Scandinavian Masters. Seven months after earning his card at Q-School,Boo Weekley finally made a PGA Tour cut at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn. The home- spun mini-tour star, who favors rain pants and sneakers as on-course attire, shot 67-68-75-63 and finished T19, earning $37,724. — Golfweek THIS WEEK’S QUESTION What was the most intriguing story from the three U.S. Opens this summer? Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com ADVERTISING FEATURE e’s the architect who listens to no one,yet he has trained more disciples than anyone in the business. Pete Dye infuriates clients, at the same time winning their lifelong friendship. He’s the kindest man in the game when it comes to his time,yet no one revels more in making people suffer when they step onto his courses. People love him or hate him, usual- ly both. What’s not to respect in a designer whose game is good enough to have qualified him for a U.S. Open? He has two sons, Perry and P.B., in the design busi- ness. His wife, Alice, is a successful designer in her own right, a Curtis Cup team member and two-time winner of the USGA Senior Women’s Championship. Not bad for a former insur- ance salesman. Pete Dye, the game’s Marquis de Sod, is the only course architect ever to out- spend an unlimited budget. He’s the man who won’t — or can’t — work from a topo- graphic map, and whose writ- ten plans come after the fact, to document what he did in the field. It’s been said that Dye is more sculptor than archi- tect, responding to his own creations — usually by changing them, often after they’ve been grassed. If he works instinctively, by feel, he also surpasses his col- leagues in imagination and creativity. That’s what has enabled him to fashion a pantheon of world-class courses. Dye’s iconographic landscapes have imprinted themselves on the minds of modern golfers — many of whom lie awake at night replaying their tortured encounters with his railroad ties, island greens, box- car bridges, 16-foot-deep greenside bunkers and 300- yard-long ponds. No one is better at tempting golfers to go for areas they have no business attempting. Born in 1925 in Urbana, Ohio, Dye picked up the game at age 3. He had free run of nine-hole Urbana Country Club, a course his father, Paul Dye, built with some friends. As an Army paratrooper stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C., in 1944, Dye volunteered to tend the base’s course, made regular trips to play at Pinehurst No. 2, and had long talks with res- ident golf professional and course designer Donald Ross. At Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., Dye met Alice O’Neal, the lead golfer on the women’s team. The two married in 1950, then both went to work as agents for Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance. Successful selling insurance, he also played golf like crazy. In 1958, at the Trans-Mississippi Amateur at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan., Dye played against Jack Nicklaus. “Lost 4 and 3, or something. If I’d beat him, it would’ve changed the whole history of golf,” Dye said with a smile. “He would’ve gone home, and I would’ve turned pro.” Instead, Dye turned architect. In 1959, Pete and Alice landed an unpaid design job for the nine-hole El Dorado Golf Club in Indianapolis. They built the course themselves, grassing the greens with sod from their front lawn that they hauled in their car trunk. More jobs came, enough to lead Dye away from insurance. (Alice had quit earlier to raise their two boys.) Then came what remains his most sophisticat- ed work, The Golf Club in New Albany, Ohio. There he used gracefully shaped fairways and diagonally arrayed, low-slung bunkers to create multiple angles for shotmaking. In planning Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C., in the late 1960s, Dye saw what Robert Trent Jones Sr. was doing a few miles away and simply did the opposite. Whereas contemporaries such as Jones, George Cobb, Joe Finger, Dick Wilson, Joe Lee and George Fazio were emphasizing power, length and strength, Dye built a course entirely oriented around finesse. Harbour Town stood as a complete repudiation of that era’s design style. Many in the business probably wish that Dye had stuck with the subtlety of Harbour Town. Instead, he has tended to welcome the challenge of a succession of clients to build severe, totally artificial courses. “Of course they’re unnatural,” he says. “They have to be. If they were natural, you wouldn’t be playing golf on them.” The innovative work continued with the PGA West Stadium Course in La Quinta, Calif., a layout that opened in 1985. His Brickyard Crossing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (1994) incorporates electric towers, railroad tracks, petroleum storage tanks, an on-site motel and the infield of the world’s most famous racetrack. He started the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, S.C., in 1989 on a hurricane-devas- tated beachfront under the considerable pressure of knowing it would debut two years later as host of the Ryder Cup. With dozens of courses to his credit, Dye’s peers elected him president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects — and then awarded him the Society’s highest honor,the Donald Ross Award,at its 1995 meeting in Scotland. Among the designers who got their starts wrestling trees on Dye’s construction crews are David Postlethwaite, Lee Schmidt, Bill Coore, Jason McCoy, Bobby Weed, Tom Doak, and of course, Dye’s two sons, Perry and P.B. The challenge of a creative soul is to know when to step back and keep one’s art — and life — under control. Pete Dye has done that, perhaps not always by design.J.D. CUBAN/GETTY IMAGES Britney Spears DONALD MIRALLE/ GETTY IMAGES Golfweek’s Bradley S. Klein picks 10 of Pete Dye’s best-designed courses: Crooked Stick Golf Club, Carmel, Ind. (1964).Sharply etched fairways and bold, MacKenzie-style greens. The Golf Club, New Albany, Ohio (1967).Low profile vertically, with much of the feature work created by cutting down rather than rising up. Harbor Town Golf Links, Hilton Head Island, S.C. (1970).Maddeningly simple, with tiny, 4,000-square-foot greens, great short par 4s and an up-tempo finishing flurry from the 13th hole in. Casa de Campo,Teeth of the Dog Course, La Romana, Dominican Republic (1971).Seven oceanfront holes on a jewel of a layout etched by hand labor. TPC at Sawgrass, Stadium Course, Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. (1981).Golf’s version of pinball, thanks to sharp angles, multiple landing areas and steep edges, culminating in a revolution- ary island green par 3. Firethorn Golf Club, Lincoln, Neb. (1985).A prairie version of The Golf Club, woven through low-density real estate. PGA West, Stadium Course, La Quinta, Calif. (1985).Steep verticality and every prime landing area perched on the edge of disaster. Ocean Course, Kiawah Island, S.C. (1991).Relentless demands upon tee shots, with every hole offering wetlands on one side and dunes on the other. Pete Dye Golf Club, Bridgeport, W.Va. (1993, pictured at left).Epic visu- al drama through an abandoned coal field. Whistling Straits GC, Haven,Wis. (1999).Winds from Lake Michigan howl across this massively wide, windswept site where the par 3s all perch on cliffs of doom. BRADLEY S.

You may be familiar with some of these terms already. • Dyslexia, perhaps the most commonly known, is primarily used to describe difficulty with language processing and its impact on reading, writing, and spelling. • Dysgraphia involves difficulty with writing. Problems might be seen in the actual motor patterns used in writing. Also characteristic are difficulties with spelling and the formulation of written composition. • Dyscalculia involves difficulty with math skills and impacts math computation. Memory of math facts, concepts of time, money, and musical concepts can also be impacted. • Dyspraxia (Apraxia) is a difficulty with motor planning. It can impact upon a person’s ability to coordinate appropriate body movements. • Auditory Discrimination is a key component of efficient language use, and is necessary to “break the code” for reading. It involves being able to perceive the differences between speech sounds, and to sequence these sounds into meaningful words. • Visual Perception is critical to the reading and writing processes as it addresses the ability to notice important details and assign meaning to what is seen. An eye doctor may be able to diagnose difficulties. • Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD/ADHD) may co-occur with learning disabilities (incidence estimates vary). Features can include: Marked over-activity, distractibility, and/or impulsivity which in turn can interfere with an individual’s availability to benefit from instruction. FAMOUS PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES • Albert Einstein: He did not speak until age 3. Even as an adult Einstein found that searching for words was laborious. He found school work, especially math, difficult and was unable to express himself in written language. He was thought to be simple-minded, until it was realized that he was able to achieve by visualizing rather than by the use of language. His work on relativity, which revolutionized modern physics, was created in his spare time. • Thomas Alva Edison: He was unable to read until he was twelve years old and his writing skills were poor throughout his life. • George Washington: He was unable to spell throughout his life and his grammar usage was very poor. His brother suggested that perhaps surveying in the backwoods might be an appropriate career for young George. • Tom Cruise: Is unable to read due to severe dyslexia. He is able to memorize lines and perform on the stage and screen. Others notables include: Galileo, Mozart, Wright Brothers, Leonardo da Vinci, Cher, Bruce Jenner, Thomas Thoreau, Charles Schwab, Henry Winkler, Danny Glover, Walt Disney and John Lennon. If you suspect your child has a learning disability, you should speak to his or her teachers and school counselors, talk with other learning experts, and consider a formal evaluation. It’s important to remember that a thorough evaluation of your child’s skills must be done by a professional. Local school systems often provide a test for free. Private or hospital clinic can also perform a test. If you suspect that your child has a learning problem, the sooner you act, the easier it will be for your child. And that can relieve everyone’s anxiety about the coming year. TOM CRUISE HAS DYSLEXIA, a learning disability. If you suspect your child has a learning disability, he or she should be screened by a professional.
