BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —A provincial panel has released a draft of the principles designed to guide the swap and development of the Seaton lands and is taking it out for public input next week. However, City councillors are saying it’s all just a just a smoke- screen and expressed concerns the local planning process will be ig- nored. “They’re running roughshod over us,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. As part of the Province’s strategy to protect environmentally sensitive lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine, it is exchanging lands it owns in north Pickering for privately owned lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge. The Province appointed the North Pickering Land Exchange Review Panel to recommend a set of principles to guide the valuation, ex- change and development of the Pickering lands. The panel presents the draft principles to the public at two meetings, Oct. 1 from 1 to 6 p.m. and Oct. 2 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Amongst the principles is a com- mitment to ensure the north Picker- ing agricultural preserve, an agricul- tural assembly of about 5,000 acres east of the York Region and Toronto borders, west of Duffins Creek and north of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way line above Finch Avenue up to the Fifth Concession, remains as agricultural land. Accused murderer’s escape from custody ends on quiet street BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer WHITBY ––An eight-hour manhunt for an accused murderer who escaped police custody ended early Friday evening when he was discovered hiding under a backyard porch in Whitby. Cosmo Joseph Jacobson, 27, de- scribed by police as dangerous and possibly armed, was on the loose in a Whitby neighbourhood south of the Superior Court of Justice build- ing at 605 Rossland Rd. until 5 p.m. when he was arrested at a Bassett Boulevard house. At around 9 a.m., Mr. Jacobson, who was initially in handcuffs and leg shackles, escaped during the transfer from a police van to the court facility. Mr. Jacobson is charged with first-degree murder in the death of former Metro East Trade Centre security supervisor and Ajax resident Roy Dennis Jones. A second man in the police van, Hemoutie Raghunauth, was being transferred with Mr. Jacobson and they were believed to be shackled together. Police say Mr. Raghu- nauth was apprehended at the scene. Durham Regional Police were tight-lipped yesterday about the se- curity lapse. “There’s a grey area,” said David Selby, spokesman for Durham Re- gional Police, “They’re too busy looking for the bad guy to entertain these questions,” Mr. Selby said early in the day. He pledged, how- ever, there would be “full disclo- sure” following an internal investi- gation regarding the escape. Mr. Jacobson fled on foot behind the court facility, which backs onto a large field and borders Bassett Boulevard. Following the escape, police issued a Canada-wide war- rant for his arrest and asked resi- dents to report any suspicious peo- ple on their properties. “This is a dangerous individual,” said Mr. Selby. Police believed Mr. Jacobson was armed with some type of weapon. Scores of officers from the canine and tactical support units blocked off roadways and searched an area within six blocks Police officers take murder accused Cosmo Jacobson into custody Friday after an eight-hour manhunt in Whitby. Mr. Jacobson escaped police custody in the morning while being transferred to make a court appearance. Mr. Jacobson is accused in the murder of Ajax resident Roy Jones.

SALE CONTINUES of the courthouse. Mean- while, Air One, the service’s helicopter, circled overhead. Mr. Selby said there were dozens of tips reported to po- lice, but one shortly before 5 p.m. led them to a house on Lismer Drive. Neighbours said a resident heard her dog barking frantically and then noticed a man hiding under her backyard porch, near a swimming pool. “We had a feeling he was close,” said Tania Atwood, who lives on the street. “The police were in and out of our backyards with the dogs all day. We just waited and hoped and prayed they found him.” Ms. Atwood learned from a neighbour that he was near- by and immediately sent her three children and three oth- ers she was watching into the basement of her home. Mr. Jacobson was actually arrested on Bassett Boule- vard, the street backing onto the yard where he was hid- ing. Bert Kelly, who was visit- ing the home on Bassett Boulevard where the fugitive was apprehended, said police took down Mr. Jacob- son on the front lawn. “(The street) was just loaded with police cars,” he said. Neighbours, meanwhile, ques- tioned how a man could flee police custody. “We were con- cerned,” says Carol Cunning- ham, who lives on Bassett Boule- vard. “How can they escape from that courthouse?” Resident Wendy Smith was driving home from work when she heard the news the escapee could be in her neighbourhood. The mother of two girls, 11 and nine, worried about her children attending nearby Florence M. Heard Public School. “This whole thing was going on in my chil- dren’s neighbour- hood and I knew nothing about it,” she said. Whitby ele- mentary and pub- lic schools were in lock-down mode after the Durham public and Catholic school boards were in- formed of the situ- ation. Grant Yeo, the public board’s education director, said doors at all schools were locked with the exception of the front entrance, where entry could be monitored. Students were kept in- doors at recess and lunch. For those who normally walk home for the midday meal, pizza was provided. Mitch LePage, the Catholic board’s Whitby school superintendent, said students were told to go di- rectly home, avoid parks and remote areas, and stay away from strangers. Children were encouraged to walk in groups. Katherine Smith, 11, said she and her classmates at Flo- rence M. Heard Public School were ushered indoors from their portable. “When we got in they told us...there was an escaped convict,” she said. “Me and my friend were really scared and we hugged each other.” Mr. Jacobson is charged with escaping lawful custody and failing to appear. — with files from Mike Ruta ESCAPE from page 1 Escape bid foiled MARKHAM FAIRGROUNDS - 5 KM north of Hwy. #7 on McCowan at 18th Ave. FREE PARKING or take Markham Transit from MarkvilleFREE PARKING or take Markham Transit from MarkvilleFREE PARKING or take Markham Transit from MarkvilleFREE PARKING or take Markham Transit from MarkvilleFREE PARKING or take Markham Transit from Markville www.markhamfair.ca THURS.

Regional committee gives go-ahead for 27 new nursing and personal care positions BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––The Region’s three nursing homes could be getting a major staffing boost after receiving the go-ahead for almost 27 new posi- tions. The Regional Finance and Admin- istration Committee recommended 26.5 new nursing and personal care positions be approved, at an annual cost of $1.8 million. The final decision must be made by regional council, which will con- sider the request at an Oct. 2 meeting. The positions will be fully funded by the Province as part of a $100 mil- lion initiative to increase the level of personal care for residents. The decision was deferred from the last finance meeting two weeks ago after some members of the com- mittee asked for more information. At Wednesday’s meeting, Claring- ton Mayor John Mutton suggested again that the decision be deferred to the budget process. That way, he said, the increase in staff could be considered alongside all the funding needs for projects and staffing under Durham Region’s man- date. “This is a fancy way to get pre- budget approval,” the mayor said, noting in many other program areas the Province has reduced funding and the Region has had to pick up the shortfall. “We kick and scream when the Province withdraws funding but when the Province comes back in, should we always keep our contribu- tion at the same levels? I don’t think so,” the mayor said. Pickering Councillor Mark Hol- land raised similar concerns about au- tomatically increasing staffing levels with the additional funding. “This needs to be viewed in the context of the budget process,” he said. “I would have a much higher de- gree of comfort dealing with it that way.” But doing that could mean a sig- nificant delay in getting the staff in place due to shortages of skilled workers, Brock Councillor Larry O’- Connor, the health and social services committee chairman, said. “The Province has come through for us. To delay it is the wrong mes- sage. The money was announced in July. If you delay until the budget you won’t get the staff until May.” Oshawa Councillor John Gray said the intent of the money was to in- crease the level of service to the resi- dents. “It would be bad politics when the Province comes out with an extra $100 million and we contemplate scaling back our funding. It doesn’t seem like the right thing to do,” Coun. Gray said. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’- Connor agreed, noting there has been “a human outcry from the people we represent for services for seniors in homes. When the ministry comes for- ward and is putting money there, it doesn’t mean we should be cutting back.” Currently residents in Fairview Lodge in Whitby receive 2.72 hours per day of personal care. With the new staffing proposal they will each receive three hours. In Hillsdale Manor in Oshawa, the cur- rent 2.39 hours will increase to 2.65 and Lakeview in Beaverton will in- crease from 2.28 to 2.51 hours per day. On average, Ontario residents cur- rently receive 2.04 while Manitoba, by comparison, receives 2.44. The goal of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care is to reach a three-hour per day care level. The Region provides about 30 per cent of funding for personal care ser- vices. The Province and resident fees cover the remainder. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 29, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P Brock North Dental OPEN EVENINGS & SATURDAY CONTACT US AT 905-427-7773 TAKING APPOINTMENTS IMMEDIATELY • DIGITAL X-RAY • INTRA ORAL CAMERA • TV IN OPERATORIES • KIDS PLAY STATION 2 • DIRECT BILLING TO INSURANCE NOW OPEN!!

(at Finley) Suite 7, Ajax 905-686-7717 My name is Marnie Fertal. I’m a full-time student. I lost 51 pounds in six short months. I kept my weight off for over 3 1/2 years. The story you are about to read is true and factual. It happened to me. By Marnie Fertal I lost 51 pounds without dieting. It was easy. My dress size plunged from a size 16 to a petite size 8 and it was effortless. If someone had told me this was possible five years ago, I wouldn’t have believed them. Out of Control I was overweight my entire life. In my house junk food was everywhere. The shelves were lined with cookies, chips and snack cakes. I told myself the weight was in my genes. Look at the rest of my family. They’re fat too. One day I realized I was out of control. I wanted to lose weight but couldn’t. I felt helpless. I craved. I binged. I got depressed. The more I tried to diet the more I thought about food. I wanted to be a model. Even took modeling classes. Learned the postures. How to walk and talk. My body betrayed me. I was miserable about my weight. It broke my heart to be around those skinny girls. I felt like an outcast. I found excuses to miss class. I dropped out. I was on an endless dieting roller coaster. One stupid diet after another. Take a little off. Put more back on. I starved on shakes. Gained weight with diet pills. Pain, suffering, misery. I went out less and less. I sat home, lonely and afraid. I looked at my family and saw no end in sight. Being overweight hurt. Stop the Pain My mother heard about hypnosis for weight loss from a friend. She said hypnosis made her weight loss easy. I gave them a call, went in, discussed my problem, signed up and lost 51 pounds. That was 3 1/2 years ago. Dreams Came True Hypnosis made my weight loss success possible. They gave me confidence, better health and a slim, attractive body. They helped my dad and brother too. That’s why I believe hypnosis is the easiest way to lose weight and keep it off. It cost much less than expensive diet programs and I didn’t have to fuss with weighing, measuring or counting. What a relief to know I will never have to diet again. Free Screening I recommend hypnosis without reservation. It worked for me and I’m convinced it can work for anyone who wants lasting weight loss. You can find out how hypnosis can benefit you and it won’t cost one red cent. Pick up the phone and call right now. Schedule your free hypnotic screening. It’s fun and informative. Takes about twenty minutes. From the first phone call I felt reassured. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There is no pressure to buy anything. If the hypnotic evaluator doesn’t feel their program will benefit you, she will tell you so. Call Now Without Risk I believe in hypnosis because it gave me my life back. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. Do what I did. Call and schedule your free hypnosis screening.

(905) 438-1537 Seaton guidelines unveiled The recommendations also suggest all environmentally sensitive land in Seaton remain undeveloped and the local planning process be respected while approving a Secondary Plan (a plan for specific development) by March 31, 2003. Given the City has begun a growth management study in the area and put a freeze on all development until it is completed, Coun. Brenner and Ward 2 City Councillor Dave Ryan see the panel’s guiding principles as contradic- tory. “How can they be respecting the local planning process and ignoring our growth management study at the same time?”asked Coun. Ryan in an inter- view Monday. “I’m concerned this whole thing about the ag lands is going to cloud the real issue, which is the development of Seaton and the land swap,”added Coun. Brenner. “I think they’re using the ag lands as a distraction and ramming de- velopment down our throats. They’re taking all the attention away from Seaton because they know they’re trad- ing environmentally sensitive land for environmentally sensitive land.” Coun. Brenner said he has uncovered what he believes is the Province’s Sec- ondary Plan, including detailed maps, which clearly show residential develop- ment swallowing up the Hamlet of Whitevale and moving north to Hwy. 407 where an industrial core will be built to surround the toll road. “The outcome is predetermined,” said Coun. Brenner. However, Ross Fair, project director for the Province’s north Pickering land exchange team, said the documents Coun. Brenner has uncovered are sim- ply studies the Province completed as part of the appraisal process, not a Sec- ondary Plan. “We did a number of studies on the appraisal side,“ he said. “It’s like if you’re going to sell your house, you dress it up so you can get the best price. We want to get the maximum value for these lands... this is not the Secondary Plan.” SEATON from page 1 P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 29, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Let’s save jail cells for real criminals To the editor Re: ‘Durham police chief questions basis for senate pot report,’Sept. 8. Despite a few officials’ misgivings, the Canadian Senate’s recommendation to le- galize responsible cannabis use is a wise one. The criminalization of cannabis has filled jails with otherwise law-abiding citi- zens, inspired disdain for the law among youth and made organized criminals ex- tremely rich. Increased enforcement has only exacerbated the situation. By regulat- ing the market, we can place proper age controls on the use of cannabis, and take it out of the hands of black market dealers. Government resources currently spent on enforcement can be diverted to education and treatment. And most importantly, we can stop locking up productive citizens who use cannabis responsibly –– thus saving a jail cell for a real criminal.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 29, 2002 I grew up in Toronto — lived there most of my life and still do. As a kid you wouldn’t think I’d ever hear of Pickering, but I did. Sure the jokes about the glowing population and their nuclear plant were around, but it was more than that. At least once a month, first at the Sheridan Mall and then in its new digs at the Metro East Trade Centre, my middle-class suburban Toronto family piled into the station wagon and head- ed across Hwy. 401 to the flea market. From cheap socks and housewares, antiques and incense to records, tapes and eventually CDs, the flea market had it all — and all at the right price. The average middle-class family still wants to save a buck or two today and many roll into Pickering on week- ends for a walk around the Pickering Markets. More than 250 vendors still thrive there, selling their wares to eager bar- gain hunters from across the GTA and further. But they won’t be there long. The Metro East Trade Centre is being torn down to make way for a grocery store, some fast food chains and a few ‘big box’stores. The property owners say the site is underutilized and they want to give Pickering residents an equal shopping experience to others in the GTA. I guess somebody forgot to tell them what they’re taking away. They say demolition must begin by February to accommodate their new tenants. Since a new home cannot be built by that time, the Pickering Mar- kets will close. Most of the vendors depend on their weekly income and can’t possibly survive the transition; even if a new home is built most say they won’t be headed there. I’ve worked in Pickering Monday to Friday over the last year and now it’s time for me to move on. Over the last year, as I did throughout my youth, I came to the city on weekends to barter at the market. It was the mar- kets that drew my family to Pickering way back when and it’s the markets that draws me here on weekends now. Once the markets close and I leave this job, I doubt I’ll be coming back too often. This city will have sold a big piece of its identity for a ‘big box’ store, a grocery mart and the same fast food joint I can find in every nook and cranny across the GTA. The same old same old will have replaced some- thing unique. Sadly it’s goodbye to a Pickering institution and perhaps the best tourist draw the city has ever had. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Same old same old replaces Pickering institution Market vendors left with no place to go once trade centre knocked to the ground early next year We may only be at the request-for-proposal stage, but it’s worth asking regional councillors why there is such a push to build an expensive new regional headquarters now? The concept of the headquarters itself is extremely vague: it’s projected to cost between $50 million and $70 million; it’s estimated it will be between 250,000 and 350,000 square feet; there might be a police headquarters attachment of 40,000 square feet or there might not be; some have suggested a pro- posed regional courthouse be part of a regional HQ — is there a plan that would include this courthouse? The questions keep coming, fast and furious. Oshawa coun- cillors at the Region recently wondered if that $50 million to $70 million tab included furniture, technology and equipment, how many regional offices would be consolidated in the new building, and what the tax impact will be to pay for any addi- tional costs related to the building, including total estimated debt, debenturing and tax increases. For Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor, a member of the Region’s finance committee, the questions are premature and will be answered in good time, when the RFPs have been filed. “The answers will come out as part of the process,” she said. Five firms have been invited to present proposals for the new headquarters and have a Nov. 10 deadline to have them in to council. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle originally got the ball rolling on the new headquarters idea, reasoning the $5 million paid in leasing office space throughout the region each year would be better spent as part of a new central HQ. Over a 35-year period, the regional finance department pro- jected a new HQ would save taxpayers $34 million to $40 mil- lion in costs. If all the projections fall into place, the decision to build the new HQ is a sound one. But much still remains open to debate. Many businesses now rely on the Region to lease buildings on an annual basis. Is there a plan in place to find tenants for that space once the Region picks up stakes and moves on? Will councillors resist the urge to overspend and build a ‘Taj Mahal’-type structure that exceeds the needs of our regional employees? How easy is it to project space requirements in a region expected to double in population over the next two decades? Council owes it to taxpayers to be cautious and answer every question on this issue. We can’t afford to make mistakes here.

But gambling, an occa- sional source of pleasure for most, can be a dangerous men- ace to five per cent of the popu- lation for whom the perils in- clude financial ruin and destroyed family lives. On Scugog Island, just east of Port Perry, the Great Blue Heron Charity Casino offers 452 slot machines, 50 table games, a restaurant and two bars. Just a little further north, Durham residents will find Kawartha Downs racetrack and slot machines in Peterborough or Casino Rama in Orillia. Meanwhile, Picov Downs in Ajax is awaiting provincial approval to construct another casino with up to 800 slot machines to add to its tele-theatre racetracks and outdoor track by 2003. A quick commute can take you to the larger venues of Mohawk Racetrack in Milton and Woodbine racetrack and slots in northwest Toron- to. Although most people can regulate their gaming pursuits, treating them as an entertainment form, for some the increasingly easy access is acerbat- ing a pre-existing vulnerability, says Steve Chiasson of the Pinewood Cen- tre, an addiction counselling organization run by Lakeridge Health Corpora- tion. “Access is co-related to the risk of developing a problem,”says Mr. Chi- asson. “If gaming is just a short drive away or on my way to the outlet mall, there is a higher risk.” While opportunity increases temptation, there are many factors that might predispose someone to a gaming addiction, he says. “Each person has a customized relationship with gambling.” Personality characteristics, life experience, trauma, the feelings one experiences during the gaming process and even some early wins, can all contribute or interact to create the addic- tion. “Fifty per cent of our treatment population had a positive gambling ex- perience, often winning early. They feel when they lose, it will be self-cor- recting. They believe they will win again.” The beginner’s luck creates a dis- torted view of the true odds, he suggests. “They don’t appreciate that just be- cause you won at one point doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to win again. Their expectation is not based in reality.” For some people, simply developing a better understanding of how the games and slots work, and what the odds really are, is enough to help them regain control of their gambling. For many though, that is just one of many issues that must be unravelled before they can rebuild their lives. “This is a very complex issue,” says Mr. Chiasson, noting many very suc- cessful people become gambling addicts because in life they are competitive risk-takers who are also dogged problem-solvers. But when they bring those characteristics to the gaming arena, it can be disastrous. The gambling experience can be similar to a drug-induced state, adds Mr. Chiasson, who says during one clinical study, researchers could not differ- entiate the brain activity of some gamblers with people ingesting cocaine. Once someone does develop a gambling addiction,“the problems go well beyond the financial impact,” says Mr. Chiasson. Often they become secre- tive to hide their habit. Secrecy is not conducive to intimacy, he notes. This leads to marriage problems and dysfunction within families. While drug and alcohol problems can take years to develop into chronic maladies, a gambling addiction can wipe out someone’s life in as little as six months. “It’s a very rapid descent,” says Mr. Chiasson who believes it can be one of the hardest addictions to overcome. The Pinewood Centre offers treat- ment groups. A support group for family is also offered. Gambling is just a game, unless it becomes a problem Wheel of fortune Calculate your risks Know where to run Don’t waste the money Mis You may have a gambling problem if: • You have lost time from work or school due to gambling; • Your home life has ever been made unhappy due to gambling; • You felt remorse after gambling; • You gambled to try to resolve financial diffi- culties; • After losing you feel an urge to return to win the money back. These are just a few of 20 questions Gamblers’ Anonymous (www.gamblersanony- mous.org) presents to help individuals decide if their gambling may be getting out of hand. Tips for responsible gambling: • Do not use cash machines to get more money for gambling; • Do not ‘chase’ losses. Accept them as the cost of en- tertainment; • Balance gambling with other leisure activities; • Take frequent breaks; • Be aware of your emotional state - risk of addiction increases at times of loss or depression; • Don’t borrow money to gamble.

While anyone has the poten- tial to fall prey to a gambling disor- der, some demographic groups are more susceptible than others including youth, seniors, males and people with substance abuse issues or mental illness. A study by the Responsible Gambling Council of Ontario and the Canadian Centre on Sub- stance Abuse found 18- to 24- year-olds to be among the highest risk group for developing gambling problems with a rate almost twice that of the general population. Know when to fold ’em Thousands of Durham students get off to a good start each morning BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer PICKERING —No one would dispute paying atten- tion in class and doing your homework helps students learn. But so do eggs, muffins and orange juice, say support- ers of Durham’s Child Nutri- tion Project. September is Breakfast for Learning Month in Durham and across Canada, a time to raise awareness of child nutri- tion as it relates to learning. In Durham, the Child Nu- trition Project’s (CNP) man- date is to ensure every student arrives in the classroom well nourished and ready to learn. “Studies have shown that there is a link between eating a healthy breakfast and acade- mic learning,” said Stephanie Miskew, CNP co-ordinator. “When a child does not get enough healthy food, the like- lihood of poor academic per- formance and behavioural problems increase.” She said her job is to help schools obtain funding for programs, act as a link be- tween schools and national funding sources, and to act as a resource for schools looking to set up their own programs. Those programs, which are supported by Durham businesses, see students served a balanced breakfast at school early in the morning, a healthy snack and, in some schools, a healthy lunch. In addition to schools, any community or church group can offer programs. And they’re not just for poor kids: there are a host of reasons why a child might not have breakfast before leaving for school. Some kids aren’t hungry in the morning, or parents may leave early for work, and the child cannot or does not make their own breakfast. Ms. Miskew invited guests, participants and sup- porters of Durham’s CNP to Altona Forest Public School in Pickering Sept. 25 to cele- brate Breakfast for Learning Month. They included Jeff Gray, general manager of Canadian Tire, Pickering Parkway, who presented a $1,000 cheque in support of Pickering nutrition programs at Bayview Heights, Sir John A. Mac- Donald, Glengrove and Al- tona Forest public schools, and at Pine Ridge Secondary School. Canadian Tire Pickering for three years has made bi- annual donations in support of the CNP to assist Pickering school nutrition programs. The money comes from Christmas tree and bicycle helmet sales, and Mr. Gray noted fund-raising events like barbecues also help. “We feel at Canadian Tire Pickering that this is a very important cause, to get kids off on the right foot,” he told guests. Altona Forest principal Trudy Deacon said 40 to 80 students take advantage of the school’s breakfast program. On Wednesday, students en- joyed pancakes served up by Pickering local Councillor Dave Ryan. “I just like the food here,” said Grade 4 student Do- minique Harte. “It’s a great idea, a nutrition program so people can have some food.” She said mornings can be a bit hectic at home and if she’s running late, eating at school is a great option. Grade 7 student Rami Hussain said he wakes up at 7 a.m. to catch a 7:40 a.m. school bus and has breakfast at school. Cory Mason-Collins, a Grade 8 student and student council member, and Grade 7 pupil Skylor Genereaux are volunteers in the school’s pro- gram. “We put away the dishes, clean off the tables and wash the dishes in the dishwasher,” Skylor explained. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 29, 2002 PAGE 9 A/P Bring Your Prints and Plates for the Artists to sign.

Keynote speaker Karen Henderson, of the Caregiv- er Network Inc., will dis- cuss her caregiver journey. A panel discussion will fol- low, giving participants a chance to ask questions on anything from financial planning to nutrition. Three workshops are being held, including ad- vanced care planning, which will explain how in- dividuals can prepare for their future health-care needs. The caregiver as an ad- vocate workshop will show how caregivers can act as advocates while moving through the health-care system. The door-to-door work- shop will appeal to anyone thinking of moving into long-term care and exam- ine the recent changes to the Long Term Care Act. The conference is for all caregivers, such as family, friends and neighbours, who assist people with a progressive illness. They can also include profes- sional support personnel, such as nurses and social workers. It is Saturday, Oct. 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s of the People auditorium, 570 Marion Ave., Oshawa. The cost is $25.

SERVING AJAX & PICKERING FOR 33 YEARS Implant Supported Dentures Smiles Can Return With The Right Dentures It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. As a denturist, I have been confronted by a patient in my office bearing an old photograph; sometimes it’s a graduation photo and other times it’s from a wed- ding. The photographic images all have this in com- mon: They portray youth and vigor and a wondrous smile. Invariably, the patient has one wish as he or she shares with me their prized photograph. They want that same wondrous smile they enjoyed in their youth. Many people experi- ence undue anxiety about visiting the denturist. Spending a few minutes talking about infection con- trol procedures will not only boost their confidence, it will also help them to become knowledgeable dental consumers and will help us to form successful relationships with our patients. We have learned much in recent years about physi- ology of aging though we are sill left with the inevitable out come and , in fact, fear the prospect of looking different. A com- parison of a patient’s appearance today with the appearance of a few months ago may not indicate change. Nature works mys- teriously, molecules form and reform, taking us apart and putting us back togeth- er each and everyday in an inexplicable fashion. Consider this, as you contemplate the mysteries of nature: humans grow two sets of teeth, elephants grow six sets, and sharks produce an indefinite num- ber during their lifetime. Other parts of the human body are continually regen- erated, continuing and affirming the circle of life. though few of us are psy- chologically able to cope with the aging process, a denturist can help patients achieve a balance through hard work , common sense and sensitivity to patients need. As knowledge and technology advances we, as denturists are far more capable of adequately creat- ing the appearance our patients desire far more consistently than anyone else in dentistry. Indeed, we can help our patients re-cre- ate the youthful, smiling faces seen in those pho- tographs. For more information call Pickering Village Denture Clinic at (905) 683- 4294.

Evelyn Arbour is a Registered Nutritionist and has been a guest speaker on the “First Take with Dan Carter” televi- sion show. She is also someone who has experienced change in her life when it comes to losing weight by changing her eating habits. “I know how it feels physically and emotional- ly to have a weight prob- lem and digestive disor- ders,” she explains. “This experience helps me to work with my clients so they can achieve their goals.” Evelyn has designed a 4 step program for her clients that is easy to fol- low and has resulted in long term results. The first step is a 1 hour consultation. She finds out what you’ve been eating and how you’ve been feeling. It’s a time to learn about good and bad eating habits as well as the differences between good and bad digestion. Next you take home a questionnaire. This helps you to see which systems you may be hav- ing trouble with including digestion, elimination and respiratory as well as problems associated with vitamin and mineral defi- ciencies. Once this is done the next step is to determine whether you need a detoxification program. “You may feel bloat- ed all the time, have bad breath or feel tired all the time,” says Evelyn. “Detoxification is the body’s natural process of In an effort to stimulate dental awareness in children and to provide a relaxing, comfortable environment in our office, Dr. Lean’s office continues its Pet Adoption Program at the practice.

That is what Parkinson Society Canada pro- vides to the nearly 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson’s — a chronic neuro-degenerative dis- order that can cause tremors, impaired speech and difficulty with balance and walking. “We are a national organization with partners from coast to coast, collectively dedicated to advocacy, education, funding research and the support services that enhance the lives of people with Parkinson’s, their families, friends and care- givers,” said Mary Jardine, National Executive Director. “Parkinson Society Canada plays a vital role within the Parkinson’s community as a definitive resource, offering help and hope to all Canadians. Our mis- sion is to ease the burden and find a cure.” PARKINSON’S: THE CAUSE The symptoms of Parkinson’s appear when there is not enough dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical that allows nerve cells to transmit mes- sages between each other and then to muscles to allow normal movement to take place. For people with Parkinson’s, many of these cells, con- tained in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra, have died — and the remaining cells cannot produce enough dopamine. Although Parkinson’s is not thought to be inherited, nor is it con- tagious, research is in progress to determine possible causes when the condition affects more than one fam- ily member. THE SYMPTOMS • Tremor of the limbs when at rest • Muscular rigidity • Difficulty with balance and walking •Reduced volume and clarity of speech • Difficulty with writing and fine movements THE TREATMENT Until a cure is found, the focus is on the treatment needed to correct the chemical imbalance; to alleviate the symptoms. Scientists are work- ing to determine what causes the cells to die in order design drugs that slow down the progression of the disease — and ultimately prevent it. Most current drug therapy replaces dopamine in the brain and allows those suffering with Parkinson’s to function better, though there are often side effects. HELP AND HOPE Founded in 1965, the charity is dedicated to easing the burden for those affected by Parkinson’s — and fund- ing the research that will ultimately lead to a cure. As a national resource centre, the organization: • funds research into the cause, treatment and cure for Parkinson’s • develops and distrib- utes vital edu-cational materials across the coun- try • advocates and lobbies on behalf of people with Parkinson’s to municipal, provincial and federal governments and other organizations • and facilitates support through counseling, train- ing and workshops for patients, caregivers and health professionals The symptoms of Parkinson’s appear when there is not enough dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical that allows nerve cells to transmit mes- sages between each other and then to mus- cles to allow normal movement to take place. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, September 29, 2002 PAGE 17 A/P A/P PAGE 18 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 29, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Health &FITNESS NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 29, 2002 Will I get another ‘Tin Cup’ award? Issues involving the disabled raise tough questions I understand that some people with religious, moral or ethical beliefs can denounce abortion and euthanasia. What I cannot understand is how people, organi- zations, social workers and gov- ernments can throw common sense to the wind on other social issues or their failure to realize the old adage ‘Mother knows best,’ is often true. So this year, will I again win the disabled organization’s ‘Tin Cup’ award? I recently learned of the prob- lems facing a 25-year-old mental- ly disabled man and his mother. He has a mental age of four with limited speech and cannot shave himself. His mother, Sandra Crockett, believed sooner or later he might end up in jail for committing a sexual offence. So she did what some believe unconscionable and had him ster- ilized. The result? British Columbia’s Public Guardian claimed her ac- tion was “unlawful, unethical, high-minded, arrogant and de- meaning” to her son. What a terrible denunciation for a mother who had loyally cared for a totally dependent son for 25 years! So, who’s arrogant here? ‘Big Brother’ government also charged Mrs. Crockett has sub- jected her son to ridicule, embar- rassment, psychological trauma, loss of sexual drive and the in- ability to become a parent. This last part boggles my mind! Today everyone talks about the need for responsible sex. But how can a 25-year-old man with a mental age of four who has sexual desires know the true meaning of sex or the re- sponsibility that goes with it? And how could any reasonable person believe he could be a re- sponsible parent? Since he’s incapable of look- ing after himself, how in the name of heaven could he care for a child? And who among us would elect to have him as a par- ent? Advocates for the disabled argue that what happened to this man/boy was a violation of human rights. But doesn’t this man also have a right to be pro- tected from being a parent, or from being ridiculed? Or perhaps going to jail? I’m not considered a friend of the disabled because they dis- agree with me on matters of this kind. Several years ago to empha- size this they presented me with their ‘Tin Cup Award.’ They con- sidered I had done more than anyone else to harm the cause of the disabled. I regret they feel this way. Of course, it would be uncon- scionable to sterilize every men- tally handicapped person. But there are exceptions, and I be- lieve this applies to a sexually ac- tive man with a mental age of four. Were I a member of their orga- nization I’d endeavour to change the law and give mothers a little assistance so that they, along with their physician, theologian or whoever else they trusted, could make the legal decision for or against sterilization. Currently mothers’ and doc- tors’ hands are tied by what’s known as the Eve decision. In 1986 the Supreme Court ruled sterilization can never be consid- ered a beneficial procedure. Any court of law should understand that “never” is a very unjust word. This law prevented me, as a surgeon, from sterilizing a woman with the mental age of two who could not place one child’s block on top of another. Her parents, her minister and I all believed it was the humane ap- proach. If this patient had been British the law would have al- lowed it. In the Crockett case, the doc- tor who performed the illegal sterilization has settled out of court and agreed to pay the son $150,000. But his mother says her son doesn’t even know there’s been a legal problem and doesn’t need the money. Sandra Crockett plans to sue the Public Guardian and wants the law changed. I wish her luck but she will need more than this to change this illogical mindset. Will I get another Tin Cup award? Possibly. But I’d still rather work with the organization to obtain more funding for those with disabili- ties, and to try to convince them that mothers, who constantly care for their disabled children, often know best, rather than govern- ment bureaucrats and elderly male members of The Supreme Court.

If the opening two weeks of the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior gridiron season are any indication, the answer is an unequivocal no. A week after throttling the Uxbridge Sec- ondary School Tigers 49-14 in Uxbridge dur- ing Week 1 of the schedule, the three-time de- fending LOSSA champion Monarchs used their home turf debut to crush city rival Dun- barton High School Spartans. The Monarchs took full advantage of a host of Dunbarton miscues to post a 52-8 drubbing Thursday afternoon. With the Monarchs leading 17-0 at half- time, two third-quarter turnovers on kickoff returns deep in Dunbarton territory proved devastating to the Spartans. On both occa- sions, the Monarchs made the Spartans pay and, in fact, put up three touchdowns in the quarter to take a 38-0 lead. The Monarchs opened the quarter after a fumble recovery at about the Spartans’ 10- yard line. Several plays later, Erik Robinson barged in from the one-yard line. After the convert, the Monarchs led 24-0. On the Monarchs’ next offensive posses- sion, Ben Voss caught a pass deep in the end zone for a touchdown. On the ensuing kick- off, Dunbarton coughed up the ball once again, allowing the Monarchs good field po- sition. Monarchs’ quarterback Erik Glavic scored on a five-yard keeper. St. Mary head coach Gordon Judges noted all the breaks seemed to go in favour of his team, which already held a wide advantage in play in all facets of the game. “It was one of those days when everything went right for us and a lot went wrong for Dunbarton. What can I say,” said Judges. “We were very fortunate when they fumbled and we recovered in the red zone. We took what they gave us.” He was pleasantly surprised with the in- spired play of his defence. The defensive line stuffed the Dunbarton running game, while the secondary was airtight in not allowing many pass receptions. “Our defence played our system as well as it can be played. I was really impressed,” noted Judges. “We only have four guys back from last year’s defence. We stopped Dunbar- ton in their tracks, which was due to the out- standing work of the defence.” As for the Monarchs offence, it was al- lowed to play with abandon against a Spar- tans’defence that couldn’t cope with the var- ied attack guided by Glavic. The talented pivot was as equally at ease with the passing game as he was handing off to Robinson or Joe Dublin. “With the personnel on our offence, we feel we can throw the ball on any down or run the ball on any down. Once we got the big lead we decided to grind it out and keep it on the ground,” said Judges. “We feel we have all the tools. We have great receivers and su- perb running backs. And, we’re led by one of the best quarterbacks ever seen in high school.” For the Spartans, the loss evened the team’s record at 1-1 after defeating the Sin- clair Secondary School Celtics last week. For coach Jim Bardgett, he said a number of mis- takes — ones a team can’t make against St. Mary — returned to haunt his charges. “We had three or four turnovers. We just dropped the ball,” said Bardgett, a communi- ty coach with the Spartans. “Just ball control and good defensive coverage by St. Mary was the difference in the game. St. Mary obvious- ly has more game experience than us.” Turnovers, said Bardgett, effectively killed any chance of executing the game plan of keeping the St. Mary offence off the field as much as possible. “That’s the only way you’re going to beat a team like that.” Glavic and Robinson ended the game with two touchdowns apiece. Triston Walker, Voss and Dublin added one apiece. Kicker J.P. Lambert was good on all seven convert at- tempts, as well as adding a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter. With St. Mary leading 52-0 in the late stages of the game, the Spartans broke through for a touchdown, with Jeff Murdoch hauling in a pass from quarterback Ryan Bardgett that covered about 60 yards. Mur- doch and Bardgett also hooked up on the two- point convert attempt. The Monarchs travel to Ajax to play the upstart Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars Friday at 7 p.m. Meanwhile, the Spartans are at Ajax High to play the Rams at 1:30 p.m. the same day.

The Monarchs ran their record to 2-0 after a 52-8 win over the Spartans. The game between rival city teams was played at St. Mary Thursday afternoon. AJAX —Following a court battle of two schools that coexist on the same grounds, the J. Clarke Richardson Secondary School Storm senior girls’ basketball team has brag- ging rights for now. Paced by a 29-point performance by Storm starter Katie Weiss, the newest school on the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) sports landscape defeated the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars 44-30. The victory evened the Storm’s LOSSA record at 1-1. Last week, J. Clarke Richardson dropped a 30-27 decision to the Brock High School Bulldogs. Storm head coach Stephen Clark is en- couraged by the defensive play of his charges to date, giving up only 30 points in both games. “That’s what wins games,” he said. “We have some quick players and we also rebound the ball really well.” Girls’basketball has taken the school, well, by storm, as more than 19 hopefuls were pared down to 12 — mostly from the Grade 11 ranks. Clark noted players have come to J. Clarke Richardson from other strong basket- ball programs at Ajax, Exeter, and Pickering high schools. “They’re really enthusiastic about playing high school basketball,” he said. Clark predicted his team could emerge as a dark horse to make the playoffs in the ‘AAA’ ranks this season. “We’re a very young team, but we certain- ly feel like we’re good enough to contend for the playoffs. We might surprise a few teams by the end of the season. I think we can make the playoffs this year and do some damage this year,” he said. The Storm plays 10 league games this sea- son, including Monday afternoon in Whitby against the Henry Street High School Hawks. • See photo of the game on Page 24.

This is a total contra- diction to what is in the financial section of the papers each and every day (in reference to the Canadian economy). How in God’s name can we be expected to believe this crock, when all we read about is company after company losing millions of dollars each quarter, and thousands of people being either laid off, or their jobs being eliminated. Thousands of people have lost their life savings in the stock market with virtually no chance of ever recovering from it. At least in the U.S. they are being up front with the people, and are attempting to improve the situation in a slow progressive manner. It would be a far better situation if for once these so called financial experts would stop acting like politicians, and tell the truth. (Radical concept) although Canadians are as a whole passive, we are far from being stupid, and take great exception being treated as if we require a babysitter. For once, try something different. TELL THE TRUTH, we can handle it. Consolidate Now The most important thing we can do in this financial climate, is get our own house in order. Get your debt to a manageable level, and put something into a savings account each month. A good consolidation can save thousands of dollars in payments over a year. Why Central Funding Group? Now more than ever, it is important to have someone with the expertise and contacts in the financial industry, on your side. Our primary goal is to dramatically improve your financial position, with terms and conditions that meet your requirements, not someone else, who is sitting in the “Ivory Tower”. With a prime first mortgage we are able to offer up to a 1 1/4% below posted market rates. This can add up to thousands of dollars in savings.
