Pickering votes for review Riding changes ‘out of the blue’ BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Local councillors are rejecting a report on federal riding boundaries that would see urban Pickering aligned with east Scarborough. “It’s important Pickering take a position and say, ‘This is bad for Pickering’,” said Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Holland. Council voted unanimously Monday night to forward its ob- jections to the federal standing committee on procedure and house affairs, which is currently considering the federal electoral boundaries commission of On- tario report. Under the plan, Pickering would be split, with its rural population to the north aligning with Ajax and its urban area to the south grouped with Still no strike date for teachers ✦See Riding page 2 Move delayed until at least April 24 when union meets BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM —— A full elementary teacher strike remains immi- nent, but will not begin until the end of the month at the earliest, says Rachel Gencey. “I think (imminent) is appro- priate,” the president of the Durham unit of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario said Friday. “It means we’re rapidly running out of steps we can take. If we don’t get a deal in the next few weeks, we have no place else to go.” Wo r kplace stewards from Durham elementary schools met Thursday with the union execu- tive, and Ms. Gencey said the leadership shared some further work-to-rule actions the union is thinking about. One measure is under consideration, she said, while another is in the planning stages and definitely would be implemented. Ms. Gencey would not say what it involves or when it would begin. She did describe a third action that was decided upon, related to the Grade 3 and 6 Education Quality and Accountability Of- fice assessments to take place next month. While the tests will go on, teachers will not do any preparation for it because it is clerical or administrative work, said Ms. Gencey. At many elementary schools, she said, students in other grades, except kindergarten, take part in voluntary testing to coincide with the EQAO assess- ments. However, she said teach- ers would not test those stu- dents this year. Luigia Ayotte, the board’s pro- grams superintendent, said she had not heard anything about teachers’ involvement — or lack thereof — in the EQAO tests. “No one has spoken to me and said, ‘I won’t do this, I will do this,’” she said. As a result, Ms. Ayotte said she’s assuming everyone will be doing their best to ensure stu- dents are successful on the as- sessments. At the meeting of stewards, Ms. Gencey said there were a few questions from people con- cerned after reading about the Durham District School Board’s latest salary offer in this news- paper, a 6.75-per cent increase over two years, retroactive to last September. She said stew- ards were told there are still components of the last collective ✦See Union page 4 Pickering man wants relief from on-street troubles BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— Rick Allan thinks he has a solution to his woes and those of oth- ers who have to park their cars overnight on City streets. “I worked for the plan- ning department in Toron- to for 30 years,” he said. “They have monthly park- ing permits you can buy. The City of Pickering would actually make more money that way.” Mr. Allan told council Monday night he can’t af- ford to pay the $25 fine for parking more than three hours in front of his house on Bicroft Court. His fami- ly was ticketed four times in four days last month. “The average household has two vehicles and some driveways can only accom- modate one vehicle,” he said. In his family’s case, he and his wife have their own cars and Mr. Allan’s grown daughter, who also lives at the house, has her own ve- hicle too. With her fiancé and his car recently moving in, Mr. Allan said his family is relying on the good graces of two elderly neigh- bours who have permitted them to use their drive- ways from time to time. “Others don’t have that luxury,” he said. “And what if we have a guest from out of town stay overnight? Where do they park?” “How many other resi- dents have this same prob- lem, because I drive down the street and see I’m not alone?” The City would be better served by patrolling shop- ping centres to find mo- torists parked illegally in disabled spots, he suggest- ed. Those tickets are $300 each. But Pickering coun- cillors pointed out al- though the bylaw is an in- convenience to some resi- dents, most municipalities across Ontario prohibit parking for more than three hours on a city street. “It’s a tricky issue be- cause people speak pas- sionately on both sides of it,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. “People call because they can’t stand people parking on the road and then there are people who want to park on the road.” Toronto does issue per- mits for on-street parking, Pickering clerk Bruce Tay- lor said afterwards, but they are issued usually in older residential areas of To ronto without garages. He also conceded while City staff is aware some residents face parking challenges, considerations must be made for emer- gency vehicles and to main- tain traffic flow. On the other side of the coin, Wilma Flavell, who lives on Sheppard Avenue near Whites Road, com- plained Monday night about the cars regularly lining the streets of her neighbourhood and a lack of enforcement. “It’s dangerous. It’s very dangerous,” she said. “And obviously there are no tick- ets being handed out there.” But the two situations are different from one an- other, Mr. Allan said after the meeting. He claims much of the on-street park- ing on Whites and Shep- pard is overflow from a clinic on the corner rather than residents wanting to park in front of their homes. Pickering council did not take action on either pre- sentation. P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 13, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Want to know what’s happening in Pickering? BE INFORMED!

Pickering prefers a sce- nario that would have meant five ridings in Durham and kept the City intact. Even though it would have meant a 5.8 per cent deviation from the provincial quotient, Coun. Holland argued many mu- nicipalities in Ontario de- viate as much as eight per cent. “I’ve received a lot of calls on this,” he said. “A lot of people aren’t thrilled with being tossed in with Scarborough.” While Pickering has a “great pollination with the rest of Durham”, it doesn’t share a “community of in- terest” with Scarborough, he argued. Coun. Holland’s motion also called on Brock Town- ship to clarify its position on the ridings with the standing committee and electoral commission. “Brock has said it does- n’t have a community of in- terest with Durham but we heavily subsidize Brock (at the Region),” he said. “We as the City of Pickering pay a lot of subsidies to Brock.” In an interview, Brock Regional Councillor Larry O’Connor said he would support bringing Brock into a Durham federal and provincial riding bound- ary. ✦ Riding from page 1 Problems parked in City’s lap A.J.

Groundbreaking brings new west Durham shelter closer to reality BByy AAlliissoonn BBeellll Special to the News Advertiser AAJJAAXX ——Abused women and chil- dren will soon have a new facility to turn to for help. Despite harsh winter weather, the groundbreaking ceremony for Heri- zon House, was held April 4 featuring local dignitaries. The new 15,000- square-foot facility in Ajax is expect- ed to open in late 2003, and will house 25 beds in a secure and supportive environment. Trained staff will pro- vide around-the-clock counselling for women and their families. Herizon House came out of a grow- ing need for a shelter and support services in west Durham. At the groundbreaking, Herizon board president Sherry Senis noted there were 25 domestic abuse charges laid in 55 incidents reported to Durham Regional Police in Ajax-Pickering in January alone. “It’s because of the tragic loss of Gillian Hadley that a concentrated effort by the community was made to ensure a shelter was built,” said Ms. Senis. Ms. Hadley was shot to death at her Pickering home in June 2000 by her estranged husband, who then turned the gun on himself. A number of local service clubs, businesses, and various levels of gov- ernments have stepped up with fund-raising and other support for the shelter. “The MPs and MPPs were instrumental in getting our funding,” noted Ms. Senis. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker said she has been work- ing on providing funding for the cause since her election in 1995. The province contributed $2.1 mil- lion of the building’s purchase cost, plus $850,000 for operating costs and another $30,000 for enhanced securi- ty procedures, she noted, adding the Province is considering additional money for training support and emergency staff. “It is truly a remarkable story to see how this project has come to- gether in the last couple of years,” she said. “It’s a remarkable accom- plishment by everyone in this com- munity.” Durham Police Chief Kevin McAlpine promised to situate a do- mestic investigator out of the facility, with access to “true experts in do- mestic violence”. In addition to police services, the shelter will provide crisis interven- tion programs, assistance with hous- ing and legal support, and children’s support services. As of May 1, a temporary shelter will be established, housing 21 beds. While the shelter has received countless hours of help from volun- teers to date, including 12 board members, the amount of work is in- creasing as the opening of the shelter nears and more volunteers and addi- tional funding is needed. “Everyone involved is very passion- ate about this cause,” said Ms. Senis. The shelter is planning for its first big fund-raiser, ‘A Tasteful Event’, Sunday, May 4 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Carruther’s Creek Golf Centre, 650 Lakeridge Rd., in Ajax. Tickets are $35 and available by calling Christie May, Herizon’s man- ager of development, at 905-426-1064.

I was a junk food enthusiast. Pop, chips and chocolate. I loved to bake for my husband and my kids (and of course myself). I could drink up to 24 cola drinks in a week! I was always having second helpings of the food I cooked. I remember that I was never satisfied until the huge bag of potato chips was empty. I ate when I was bored. I ate when I was nervous. I ate for no reason at all! I know that there are lots of people out there who are trapped in similar behaviour cycles. It is time to face the truth I would say to anyone who can recognize any part of themselves in my story...don’t embark on another diet. Once the diet ends...your old behaviour is just waiting to re-surface. The weight will typically pile back on plus a few more pounds.

Whitehead Ph.D. “I freeze up when I write exams! I study hard and I think that I know my stuff but I freeze up and get low marks!” Over the years, hundreds of high school students have voiced this concern. When students ‘freeze’ on exams, their low grades often do not reflect their true potential! Initially, we thought that a good Study Skills program would overcome this problem. However, when we examined many existing Study Skills programs, we noticed that most of them did not help students with the problem of freezing. In order to overcome this weakness, we eventually had to design our own program! The first step in overcoming a problem like freezing is understanding why it happens. Why do students who have studied hard and seem to know all the material, “freeze up” on exams and get low marks? Not surprisingly, the answer leads us into the realm of How we learn. Let us consider ‘Freezing on tests”. We all know what that means. We arrive at the test in a state of mind of anxiety which grows as we wait for the papers to be passed around. Suddenly, the teacher tells us to, “Turn over your papers now and begin.” We flip the paper over and look at the first question. It looks a little familiar but we don’t exactly remember how to do it so we go on to the second; we’ll come back to the first as soon as we remember . Then the trouble begins. Each question looks more and more like a foreign language. We only remember a little of each so we try to ‘fake’ it. That is called ‘freezing’. We struggle and struggle to remember and in so doing, actually lock the information farther and farther away from ourselves. Our struggles ‘freeze’ us up even tighter. Why does this happen? What can we do to prevent it from happening? Our first mistake is that we focus too much on attempting to get students past these feelings The feelings of fear and apprehension are NOT the problem! The real problem is simply that we freeze when we ask our memory to recall information which we have filed incorrectly. These days, when students learn a skill, it is often just memorized- not really understood. A typical student sits through a class just ‘sort-of’ listening. The information maybe understood but it is only placed in the short-term memory and soon disappears. This information is left until an exam is called then the process of ‘cramming’ begins. But cramming just jams the stuff into our heads and does not integrate it with other similar and or related information. Even if your are calm and relaxed - not like in an exam - it is hard to remember information memorized this way. When you sit for an exam and frantically begin to search for missing files, the memory does not associate well. Mix a little anxiety in and you get the classic exam freeze. If you had filed this information in the correct place - properly associated with similar information and fully understood - then retrieving it is easy. Even if you forget the direct data, you will find your way there by carefully following related similar or linked data. The secret to overcoming ‘freezing and forgetting’ begins in the classroom well BEFORE the exam! It lies in learning to shift from a passive mind set - “I’ll just sit here while the teacher teaches me” - to a more effective and aggressive model, an ACTIVE process - I want to understand - to know! Use the active process in-class for listening and reading -Question, Summarize and Integrate. Then, spend 10 minutes per subject every night and summarize the day’s lesson into study notes. Break the information down into Main Idea, Supporting Details and Sub Details. Make these notes short and in point form in YOUR OWN WORDS! Review these notes 48 hours later. Don’t memorize, just make sure you fully understand what they mean and what the information is about. Make the note into a story or complete picture. use visualization if possible. Unfreezing on exams depends upon how you learn not in what you do on the exam. No amount of deep breathing or relaxation will help you ding information that is filed incorrectly. Understand and file correctly in the first place and freezing on exams is a thing of the past.

The Pickering man’s first-degree murder trial has been told he was arrested trying to cross the Rain- bow Bridge at Niagara Falls on June 28, 2000. At the time, Mr. Raghunauth was under investigation by police for the Mother’s Day May 14 death of his wife, Hemoutie (Geeta) Raghu- nauth. “I was scared at the time, having been told I was a suspect in my wife’s death. I didn’t know what other alternatives to take, so I chose to go to the U.S.,” Mr. Raghunauth testified Friday, his fourth day on the witness stand. Mr. Raghunauth said he knew he was under police surveillance and also wasn’t supposed to leave On- tario under the terms of his bail on fraud charges. “I knew it was something I should should not be doing. It was some- thing to save myself... by just run- ning away from my problems,” he told 12 jurors. Court heard a satellite tracking device planted in Mr. Raghunauth’s vehicle by police alerted detectives as he drove toward the border at 8:30 p.m. U.S. customs officers, who were tipped off by Durham Regional Po- lice, arrested Mr. Raghunauth as he tried crossing the border. In the vehicle were clothes, Cana- dian and U.S. currency, cheques and papers for his mortgage insurance, which was to be paid in the event of his wife’s death. Mr. Raghunauth, 32, testified he was carrying valuables “ready for liquidation,” which he could convert into quick cash in the U.S. The Crown is alleging he drugged his 28-year-old wife with sedatives before poisoning her with cyanide in their Beaton Way residence. Mrs. Raghunauth was pregnant at the time with the couple’s second child. Mr. Raghunauth has admitted he’s a liar, a thief and a “terrible husband” who was having affairs with three women, one who he was engaged to three weeks prior to his wife’s death. However, he denies murdering his wife, and maintains she committed suicide after an ar- gument over his infidelity. Mr. Raghunauth’s examination- in-chief by defence counsel Donna Kellway continues Monday, followed by cross-examination by the Crown. Cracking down the only way to go When did it become OK to break the law? More specif- ically, when did speed limits become a suggestion? In the 19 years I've been covering municipal councils, there has been one constant concern raised by both the public and elected officials -- dangerous driving on residential streets. I have heard countless inci- dents of shocking behaviour by mo- torists, such as driving through an intersection while a crossing guard is helping children cross the street, to go along with laments about streets being used as raceways. My own personal favourite is the nut who passed me in front of a school one morning, driving signifi- cantly over the posted speed limit of 40 km/h. In the mid-1980s, every speeder was, of course, somebody from Toronto who came out here to practise their dangerous driving techniques. Lord knows you can't get your car up to a decent speed on those city streets, so let's go out to Durham and drive like maniacs. You just have to love those urban myths. The folks whizzing around suburban streets, we now know and probably always knew, are our neighbours, the people who live up the street. Communities have tried a variety of ways to slow motorists. Ajax put temporary speed humps on a side road used by motorists as a short- cut each morning. Pickering and Oshawa have also put in bumps on streets. Toronto is big on things like putting in turning circles and glorified flowerpots to narrow the road. The thinking goes that a mo- torist will ease up on the gas pedal if the street doesn't look so wide open. While that's a nice theory, if those speeding live in the area, they know the situation and aren't buy- ing it. They'll hum around or by the obstacles and merrily go on. But let's get back to the question. When did it become OK to drive like a mad man? Or rather, why is it all right to drive like you're playing a video game? My theory is there just isn't enough enforcement. Putting up obstacles and laying down speed bumps may have an effect, but nothing will slow a motorist like an attack on the wallet. That's why there are those signs on the high- ways saying there's no fine for dri- ving 100 km/h, but it will cost you a couple of hundred for going 120 or more. I personally favour photo radar. Back in 1995, as a vote-getter, the Conservatives vowed to get rid of it. Perhaps as a vote-getter in the up- coming provincial election, they should pledge to bring it back, but expand it to allow police to use it on municipal streets.

But it would seem some at the Region, including finance commissioner Jim Clapp and Oshawa Councillor John Gray, perhaps for different reasons, don't support giving $10 million to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). The $10-million pledge is a building block for UOIT president Gary Polonsky in his goal of generating $100 million in commu- nity funding for a project that, over time, will see as much as $400 million come from the Province. From a mere idea in Mr. Polonsky's mind a few years back, UOIT is expanding by leaps and bounds and promises to be, within a decade, one of Ontario's largest and most sophisticat- ed post-secondary institutions. Mr. Polonsky's plan to develop a unique university/college campus that would share adminis- tration, facilities and would allow students to mix and match courses to earn a 21st-century degree has received full backing from an impressed Province. But the intricate long-range plan requires an immense amount of co-operation and involvement on numerous fronts. Mr. Polonsky's main fund-raising pitch will no doubt be to Durham businesses and individuals who clearly see the tremendous gains to be made by the establishment here of UOIT. The president has already received an $8-million pledge from the City of Oshawa, which is at least part of Coun. Gray's beef with the $10 million request from the Region. The council- lor's belief is that Oshawa taxpayers will be hit twice if forced to contribute along with the Region too. However, the $8-mil- lion promised by the City of Oshawa is a partnership, not a gift, and offers the City exceptional benefits including extensive use of university recreation facilities in a sharing agreement. Mr. Clapp's objection to regional involvement centres around his concerns about providing municipal financing for “provincial responsibilities such as colleges and universities". Staff is recommending the Region pitch in $2 million in infra- structure costs. The Region must do better than $2 million. Councillors have to recognize the tremendous benefits UOIT will deliver over time. Reports suggest new businesses will locate in Durham. Many thousands of local students will now be able to study right here. Some, who could not afford the crushing costs of moving away, will now be able to get a first-class education minutes from home. UOIT represents a brain gain for Durham. On April 30, when it comes time to deal with the $10 million request, Durham regional councillors must say 'Yes.'

I am a Christian, having a morality de- fined by God. He is the foundation upon which my life is built. One wonders what foundation Lorie Blundon would choose for "good strong morals and ethics" since morality changes as times and locations change. It is a contradiction for Ms. Blundon to say there are no right or wrong religions and in the same sentence make an exclu- sive statement of correctness. In effect, she's saying what she believes is true and what she does not believe is not true. Ms. Blundon has simply exchanged the religious dictatorship she fears for a dictatorship she can accept. In the wide diversity of our understanding of the human condition, all beliefs cannot be correct. Should not the truth itself be sought out and upheld rather than our personal desires and opinions?

According to key perfor- mance indicators (KPI) released Wednesday, the Oshawa-based facility re- mains the college of choice in the GTA, scor- ing first in three of the four KPI categories. The Province since 1998 has used the KPIs, sur- veys of students, gradu- ates and employers, to de- termine a small portion of overall college funding. Mary Lynn West- Moynes, the college’s chief operating officer, called the results “absolutely fantastic”. She expected them to translate into roughly $750,000 for the college, stressing the amount is not yet known and should be released soon. Last year, the college received $560,000. She added while last year’s results were good, the college made a con- scious effort to do even better this time around. “The plan was, when we get our KPIs, we get data on every program and service in the joint,” said Ms. West-Moynes. “Each team looked at their own particular data... and made very explicit goals to improving.” According to the KPIs, 90.2 per cent of 2001/02 Durham College gradu- ates surveyed six months after graduation were em- ployed. The percentage has fallen in recent years, but this year’s rate is the highest in the Toronto area, and eighth best of the 24 colleges of applied arts and technology in Ontario. The provincial average was 87.4 per cent. Of the employers who hired those grads, 93.4 per cent said they were very satisfied or satisfied with the graduates. The highest rate in the GTA, it is also fourth best in the province, where the average was 92 per cent. The figure was slightly higher than last year’s number. As well, 79.4 per cent of Durham’s current stu- dents are very satisfied or satisfied with the facility. Only three colleges in the province, where the aver- age was 75.1 per cent, had a higher rating. The college did not do as well in the graduate satisfaction survey: 78.3 per cent were very satis- fied or satisfied that the education they received helped them meet their goals after they left. Only five Ontario colleges had a lower rating. And, while Durham’s percentage is still good enough for third in the GTA, 11.7 per cent of the g rads were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. The rate of unhappy grads was higher at only two other colleges. “We’re going to spend a lot of time looking at that category and doing the same thing in that catego- ry we have done in past years,” said Ms. West- Moynes. “We’re going to have specific data and feedback on where our g raduates place us in their satisfaction rank- ing.” P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 13, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Find Out What Your Home is Worth On-Line visit www.OnLineHomeMarketAnalysis.com Re/Max Quality One Ltd., Realtor Ornament yourself in gold, silver, diamonds and kundan We ar timelessness in silk, crepe-de-chine, tissue and zardozi.

The Durham District School Board’s Brock- Uxbridge trustee found it ironic in the wake of Mo rdechai Rozanski’s provincial education funding report, calling for $1.8 billion in new money, that the government would reduce the amount it collects to pay for edu- cation. “It almost appears to be a user pay-type ap- proach to education,” she said at Monday’s board standing committee meeting. “Although it may not appear that it would have a direct impact on our money for this year... the reality is this is a signifi- cant issue, a huge issue.” Trustees, in a recorded vote, voted 5-3 to send a letter to local MPPs Janet Ecker and Jim Flaherty, Premier Ernie Eves and Education Minister Eliza- beth Witmer, urging them to consult Ontarians about the idea. Mr. Eves said in a press release the proposal “would reimburse resi- dential education proper- ty taxes for nearly 945,000 senior households,” sav- ing every senior home- owner and tenant an av- erage of $475 per year. The plan, to come into ef- fect in less than three months, was introduced to give seniors a tax break, he said. “As Trustee Loraine said, this is a real depar- ture from everything the government has built the tax structure on,” said Oshawa Trustee Kath- leen Hopper. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers claimed the government had followed through on every one of the Rozanski recommen- dations that had signifi- cant dollars attached to them, arguing the board “should not be involved in this campaign to deal with the budget”. “I, for one, am for any tax breaks at all,” added Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford. He said the board should first send a letter requesting answers to questions about the tax break. Trustee Loraine said the government had not followed through on all of the Rozanski recommen- dations, and said it was trustees’ responsibility as “advocates for public edu- cation” to speak out about the planned tax break. “I grew up in a country where there is no proper- ty tax... and you know what, there is no public education system worth a darn,” she replied. Trustee Loraine ac- cepted board chairman Elizabeth Roy’s amend- ment that the letter also go to reg ional school community councils. Trustees Paul Craw- ford, Demmers and Shetler, who said she needed to learn more about the plan, abstained from the vote. The full board at the next board meeting must approve that the letters be sent. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 13, 2003 PAGE 9 A/P Residential - Commercial - Industrial 905.683.4477 1895 Clements Rd. #135, Pickering www.advantageairtech.com Serving Durham Region Since 1987 t No Duckwork?

Project displays from Phase 1 of the study will be available for viewing from 5 to 7 p.m. A presentation and opportunity to ask questions follows from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The study area extends from the York-Durham boundary in the west to Brock Road in the east, and from Hwy. 7 in the north to the Canadian Pacific Railway line in the south. Phase 1 identifies opportu- nities and constraints within the study area. Maps highlighting existing natural and cultural features, and agricultural information will be presented. Maps showing the consolidation of this information and high- lighting areas where it may be appropriate to consider future development will also be presented. Following the open house, project consultants will pre- pare a Phase 1 background report providing technical rationale for their conclu- sions. The report will be ad- ver tised for public review and comment. Additional open houses will be held in phases 2 and 3 of the project, with work- shops held at those times to allow the study team to work directly with community members to develop a vision for the developable areas and to identify appropriate land use options. Those interested in taking part in the workshops should contact Flora Niro at 905- 420-4660, ext. 2195. For more information, call Grant McGregor at the City of Pickering at 905-420-4660, ext. 2032.

The UA Local 463 Plumbers, Stampfitters and Welders union is dis- tributing the postcards throughout Durham, Nor thumberland and the GTA. They want to let the federal government know there is strong grassroots support for Canada’s bid to host ITER (Internation- al Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor), a $12-bil- lion fusion research facility proposed for Clarington. “We’re going to distrib- ute them any place some- body’s alive and breathing and can sign their name,” says Larry Cann, Local 463 business manager. “We’re going to take them to the building trades through- out the GTA, the nuclear sites through the Power Wo rkers. We want to let the government and Herb Dhaliwal (Federal Minis- ter of Natural Resources) know we fully support ITER.” Japan, Spain and France are also vying to host the project, which is a research and development partnership between the European Union, the Russian Federation, Japan, the United States, China and Canada. Mr. Cann says federal support for the project is critical and the campaign is aimed at letting the gov- ernment know its full ef- fort is wanted to ensure Canada’s bid is a success. The federal government has not yet committed fi- nancial support to ITER although the Ontario gov- ernment has promised $300 million over the 30- year lifespan of the project if Canada is selected to host the research centre. The federal government has said it recognizes Canada’s chance to host the facility hinges on an improved offer that better meets the commitment of the competing partners. The federal government has indicated it will either present a new, improved bid offer to the interna- tional community or with- draw from the site-selec- tion process. That is ex- pected to occur sometime within the next month. The front of the post- card features the cover of a special section ‘We want ITER’ created by Metroland Printing, Pub- lishing and Distributing Ltd. The back of the card explains the importance of the project to the country and the discovery of a sus- tainable energy source for the world. It indicates the sender “urges the federal government to expend all necessary effort in pursu- ing the acquisition of this worthwhile project.” Anyone interested in supporting the campaign is invited to pick up a post- card, sign their name and leave it at that location for delivery to Ottawa by the union. Mr. Cann says the unions hope to deliver the bulk of the postcards in person to Mr. Dhaliwal, the cabinet member re- sponsible for the ITER bid. The postcards can also be mailed and no stamp is required as it is addressed to a member of parliament. Postcards are available at: • Clarington Municipal Centre, 42 Temperance St., Bowmanville • UA Local 463 office, 26 Caristrap St., Bow- manville • Ajax Town Hall 65 Harwood Ave. S. • Whitby Town Hall, 575 Rossland Rd.

Your Denturist is a Denture Specialist to make complete and partial Dentures. He is the only professional legislated “specifically” to make Dentures. For Service and “one on one” contact with the person who is actually making your denture, see your local Denturist for a consultation. Do your dentures spend more time in a glass than in your mouth? A prominent biblical figure whose patience was legendary, who withstood pestilence and calamity, was heard to say one day that the only thing that got to him was “sore gums”. SORE SPOTS The main reason for sore spots is ill-f itting dentures - It is a combination of shrinking Gums and Denture wear. See the person who makes your dentures. NEW DENTURES You can expect some adjustments the f irst month after getting your dentures. It takes time to settle into place. At the first sign of discomfort, do not be alarmed. If it lasts more than 3 or four days, contact your denturist. UPPER DENTURES The upper Denture is the “good guy”. The one that gets all the smiles, the Denture that causes the least discomfort. The big plus of the upper Denture is its suction. The air caught between the palate of the denture and the roof of the mouth makes an ideal suction cup. LOWER DENTURES Lower Dentures have become the “culprit” from much oral abuse. Lower dentures are much maligned. So much so, people tend to divorce them from their partner, the upper Denture. The lower Denture has become somewhat of a misfit, and seeks refuge in the most unlikely places, bottom drawers, bottom of the bed, amongst lipsticks and combs in ladies’ handbags, lunch pails, back pockets, and if they have a caring owner, submerged for eternity in a denture bath. You see the “lot” of a lower denture leaves “a lot” to be desired. ALL IS NOT LOST Yo u can have a “soft liner” put in your lower Denture. This is a “permanent liner” and will stay soft as long as your denture lasts. OTHER REASONS Medication can give you a “dry mouth”. This can cause sore spots. Bone chips can appear many years after the initial insertion. As we get older, our body goes through change, tissue becomes more sensitive to pressure, which leads to sore spots. Poor oral hygiene can be the reason for denture discomfort. Dentures must be brushed thoroughly after every meal. TO EASE DISCOMFORT Rinse your mouth with baking soda or salt. Leave the offending denture out as much as possible. You should brush your gums, palate and tongue with a soft bristle toothbrush after every meal and before going to sleep. A sore mouth, if untreated, could lead to complications. If the problem recurs regularly, contact your local denturist. SERVICE WITH A SMILE Seeing a denturist can save you money. Denturist fees are affordable because there are no cost mark ups or outside delays. Make an appointment for full or partial dentures, new or replacement, refit or repairs. Whatever your denture requirements see a denturist. A referral is not necessary. You can call Charles Wm. Steil D.D. for a FREE consultation (905) 683-4294 When You’re Having New Dentures Made Go To The Specialist 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.

DENTURE SPECIALIST Implant Supported Dentures What’s in a name? A lot actually. The reason the dental profession has chosen to change the name of its annual campaign to ORAL HEALTH MONTH from dental health month is that oral health means more than just no cavities in your teeth. Good oral health is integral to good general health. In his report “Oral Health in America” (2000), the Surgeon General of the United States stated, “you cannot be healthy without oral health.” Healthy teeth mean that you can eat a balanced diet, can speak clearly and smile often. There are many ways to help ensure that you maintain a healthy oral cavity. Eat a balanced diet. Vitamin C is important for the health of your gums. Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time. Don’t forget to floss. You should floss your teeth well at least once a day. Flossing will help you in two ways, one it cleans between the teeth to help prevent cavities and second it will clean under the gums to help keep them healthy. One of the most important things to do in order to maintain your oral health is to visit your dentist on a regular basis. A visit to your dentist and dental hygienist will ensure that your teeth, gums and whole mouth remain in good health. Your mouth really is the gateway to your body. Many diseases that effect your entire body are noticeable f irst in the mouth. Remember to ask your dentist to check for oral cancer at your next visit. It is never too soon to start looking after your oral health. Get your new baby used to cleaning its mouth. After feeding and before putting your baby down to sleep wipe out their mouth with a clean damp cloth. Once your baby has some teeth keep them sparkly clean by cleaning after feeding and before sleep. It is important to always use a soft brush. Remember, small children can’t spit so the use of toothpaste is not recommended for children less than three years of age. If you have children or teenagers at home it is important to protect their teeth from dental injury. Not only can injuries to the teeth cause pain and look unsightly they can be very expensive to treat. If your child or teen is participating in sports make sure they have a professionally made mouthguard. A mouthguard made by your dentist will protect the teeth and gums as well as potentially protect your child from a concussion. If you weren’t able to maintain your own teeth and now wear dentures don’t think you can forget about your oral health. Loose dentures can cause sores and dirty dentures can cause chronic infection in your mouth. Make sure you clean your dentures thoroughly every day and take them out when you sleep. Make sure you visit your dentist to ensure that your ridges are healthy and replace broken or loose dentures as soon as possible. For more information on how you can maintain your oral health please feel free to contact the Dental Health Division of the Durham Region Health Department at 905-723-8521.

Just look at the photos here. This rocking chair had damaged upholstery, a missing leg, the wood was painted and it had loose glue joints. But look at the photo at right. You wouldn’t know it was the same chair. “I completely stripped and fin- ished it,” she says. “I also duplicated the missing leg, rebuilt the rest of the chair and reupholstered it. The own- ers couldn’t believe it when they saw the finished result.” Sandra is the owner of Sandra Dee’s Furniture Restoration and if you visit her website at www.san- dradees.com, you’ll see more dramat- ic transformations in her gallery. Sandra apprenticed with a German craftsman for six years and was taught the art of traditional furni- ture construction repair and finishing. Established in 1997, Sandra Dee's Furniture Restoration, offers a variety of services. Sandra, provides quality crafts- manship and value for your dollar. Her two assistants strip furniture with lightning speed and accuracy, do colour matching, touch-ups and fin- ishing, and ensure all projects are completed quickly and to the cus- tomer's complete satisfaction. Missing pieces are designed and constructed to match the furniture. Instead of brackets and screws, Sandra uses dowel, mortise and dove- tail joints as they were used when the furniture was originally built. “What I do is use the same wood and method of construction as the original piece to preserve its authenticity and originality,” says Sandra. For more information, or to inquire about having a piece of furni- ture finished or re-finished, contact Sandra Dee at (905) 426-5992. The Special Touch of Sandra Dee’s Furniture Restoration Health concerns lead popular Ajax resident to decision BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ——Joe Atkinson’s dogs are up on the coffee table, although he wishes they weren’t. The community activist has retired from his job as reg istrar with the Ontario College of Teachers. “It’s health-related. I wish I didn’t have to go,” Mr. Atkinson says. “I’m devastated by this.” A viral attack on his heart is the culprit that forced his retirement at the end of March from a ca- reer in education. “It’s cut short a career,” he said. “There’s a virus in my heart and it’s de- creased the ability of the heart to work. I don’t have the stamina. I have the focus.” His wife Judy retired as an elementary school prin- cipal at the end of the 2001- 02 school year. That and his illness gave him the chance to “take stock. “I’ve got lots of little pro- jects at home,” he said, in addition to the chance to hang out with his grand- son Owen. Being retired is “going to take getting use to,” Mr. Atkinson added. “I’ll be getting used to not getting up in the morning and not coming to work.” In addition to serving on Ajax council for several years, Mr. Atkinson served on the board of directors with the Ajax-Pickering United Way and the hospi- tal. In 1995, he was the re- cipient of the Ajax Civic Award, given annually to a resident who has made a voluntary and outstanding contribution to the better- ment of the community. Mr. Atkinson described the college’s registrar posi- tion as being a “pretty high-pressure job” and had thought he’d stay on for another three years. Education seems to be the career of choice for the Atkinson family. In addi- tion to Joe and Judy being teachers, eldest daughter Katie is in her third year of teaching at Fairport Beach Public School in Pickering. Also, daughter Beth is in the faculty of education at the University of Toronto. Son Matthew, after tak- ing a year off, is heading to post-secondary school in the fall. “In the long run, he may end up in education in some way,” Mr. Atkinson said. He and his wife may travel, but his health will be a concern, he admitted. “I’ll look for things around the town to do, but nothing political,” he said. The Atkinsons are also going to be moving, again primarily because of his health. “Our house has three levels and I can’t do that,” he said. They’re looking for a bungalow in the Uxbridge area. “Uxbridge is much like Ajax was 25 years ago, more of a small town. We’re not leaving Ajax because we’re in some way upset,” Mr. Atkinson stated. He recently had a taste of how life comes full circle. In a column he wrote in the college magazine, he high- lighted some of the teach- ers he had. After the piece ap- peared, he received a call from a vice-principal at a Durham secondary school and was told one of Mr. Atkinson’s favourite teach- ers was her father. “It kind of made me feel terrific,” he noted. “I had a lot of remarkable teach- ers.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 13, 2003 www.durhamregion.com $39 95† plus tax $99 95† plus tax $69 95† plus tax $69 95† plus tax Rear Wheel Drive from Front Wheel Drive from Lube, oil & filter • 15-Point Inspection including coolant, tires, wipers, hoses & belts • Tire rotation • Brake inspection • Top up fluids • Set tire pressure • Electronic battery test Inspect alignment and adjust toe, caster and camber • Parts extra, if required MAINTENANCE SERVICE PACKAGE ALIGNMENT SERVICE AND WE’VE GOT YOUR TI RES TOO!

Pickering natives Lee Delfino, 23, and Mike Roga, 22, both at- tended the Toronto Blue Jays spring training camp in Dunedin this year, hoping to open a few eyes. Even though they didn't make the team, they both plan to make an impression while playing for the team's minor league affiliates. Delfino, who once played with the Oshawa Legionaires juniors, is in his second year with the Jays. He has been assigned to the Charleston Alleycats, a Class A team in West Virginia. This year he is hoping to change aspects of his game to be- come a better player. He arrived at spring training three weeks early to improve his base stealing and become a more consistent all-round player. L ast season the defensive shortstop had some offensive highlights, including 12 straight plate appearances reaching base - nine hits and three walks - and he also had a two-home run game. Delfino says he wasn't consis- tent last year and physically or mentally ready to play. As a result, he vows to "take all the pluses and minuses of last year and use them to build on for this year." Refocused in 2003, Delfino is ready to make his mark. "If you do it day in and day out, you will do well," he says. "I am looking forward to the season and I am ready to rock." Roga, who played part of last season with the Oshawa Dodgers of the Intercounty League, also played in Medicine Hat last year and finished with a 2-3 record, a 4.80 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 50 innings pitched. After training camp last month, the right-handed pitcher was assigned to the Pulaski Blue Jays in the Appalachian League, a Class A team in Virginia. "In college you only worry about a small part of the lineup," says Roga. "In this league every- one is a potential threat." A nagging shoulder injury has set Roga back, but he says he is anxious to show what he's got once he's healthy. He has kept his goals for the impending season fairly simple. "Staying healthy, as well as throwing the ball down," he says, adding he'd like to see "more movement on my fastball, to be more consistent and to keep my forkball up longer." Both players are ready to start their respective seasons, in hopes of taking the big step into the ma- jors, a dream they've been follow- ing since they picked up a ball. LLEEEE DDEELLFFIINNOO Back with the Alleycats. MMIIKKEE RROOGGAA Playing ‘A’-level ball in Virginia Generals battle back against Ottawa BByy BBrriiaann LLeeggrreeee Staff Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ––––There is always one thing you can count on with the Oshawa Generals. When you go watch them play, you're never certain what you're going to get. They're predictably unpre- dictable, consistently inconsis- tent. After going an uninspiring 1- 9 down the regular season stretch drive and trailing 3-2 to Peterborough in the opening round of the playoffs, they did an about-face and rallied to eliminate the Petes in seven games. Similarly, facing Ottawa now in the Ontario Hockey League's Eastern Conference semifinal series, the Generals opened with some strong play in a 3-2 win, then proceeded to head south, losing 4-3 and 8-1 in Ottawa. But the upstart Generals quickly put the Game 3 shel- lacking behind them, scoring early and often in a 7-5 win be- fore 3,757 at the Civic Auditori- um Wednesday, squaring the best-of-seven set 2-2 entering Friday’s Game 5 in Ottawa. The result wasn’t available at press time. After being blown out 8-1 in Game 3 in Ottawa Monday, the Generals wanted a quick start on their home ice and got it when Nathan Horton took ad- vantage of Ben Eager creating havoc in front of Ottawa net- minder Lukas Mensator to score 3:26 into the opening pe- riod. "Obviously that felt good for us, we kind of picked up from there and things went well for us," said Horton, who finished with three goals and two as- sists in a game in which he showcased his skills for a plethora of NHL types, includ- ing Florida Panthers general manager Rick Dudley, who owns the No. 1 pick in this summer's NHL draft. The Generals held period leads of 2-1 and 5-3, but the pesky 67's wouldn't go quietly, pulling within a goal twice in the third period before Bran- don Nolan sealed the deal with his second goal of the game, an empty-net marker with 22 sec- onds left. Ahren Nittel and Mike Gough had Oshawa's other goals, while Jamie Johnson, L adislav Kolda, Eager and To- bias Whelan finished with two assists each. Adam Smyth, Corey Locke, Rodney Bauman, Matt Foy and Julian Talbot scored for the 67's. Game 6 in the series is tonight (Sunday) at the Os- hawa Civic Auditorium start- ing at 6:35 p.m. Swimmer a record setter AAJJAAXX ----An Ajax swimmer travelled to a high-profile meet for the experi- ence; she returned with two new club records. Jennifer Beckberger, a senior swimmer at the Ajax Aquatic Club, competed at the 2003 Conoco- Phillips Spring U.S. Nationals at Indiana State Universi- ty in Indi- anapolis, last weekend. F acing Olympic and university swimmers from across the U.S., Beck- berger accom- plished more than she ever thought possible. She swam best times in all her events -- the 50-metre, 100m and 200m freestyle and the 100m back- stroke -- competing against approxi- mately 120 top swimmers in each event. She finished 23rd overall in her specialty, the 50m free, while shatter- ing an Ajax Aquatic Club record that has stood for 15 years. Beckberger had a time of 26.53 seconds, eclipsing the record of 26.57 set by Olympian Lori Melien in 1988. Beckberger also set a new club record in the 200m free, clocking 2:06.04, which bettered the previous mark of 2:08.58 set in 1987 by Wendy Trempe.

Bantam squad wins Oshawa title DDUURRHHAAMM ----The Durham West Boyer Pontiac bantam girls' house league hockey team cap- tured the 'A' division champi- onship at the Oshawa Girls Hockey Association's sixth annu- al tournament April 6. The girls defeated another Durham West entry, Cruise Holi- day, 4-2 in a shootout in an excit- ing final. After regulation time, the teams were tied 2-2, bringing up a five-minute overtime session. The game, however, remained deadlocked at the end of extra time, bringing up the shootout. In the shootout, Courtney Sell- ers and Renee Bonneau scored, while goaltender Kristen John- ston put up a wall in front of the Cruise Holiday shooters. Bonneau and Stephanie Bowes scored for Boyer in regu- lation time. Johnston was named most valuable player of the game. She was outstanding in net through- out the tournament, allowing only five goals. The Boyer bantams started the tourney with a resounding 8- 2 win over the Vaughan Flames. Bonneau led the way with three goals and two assists. Also hit- ting the scoresheet were Caitlin Burton with two goals and two assists, Hailee Smith, Stephanie Bowes and Courtney Drysdale with one goal apiece.

How soon after coming home from work to you flick the set on for the latest news or just "background noise?" From weather reports in the morning to stock updates throughout the afternoon to waiting with baited breath to see who's been voted off the island, during prime time followed by the evening news, television for some is the very "stuff of life" Tune Into Family Fun Without the Tube that keeps them going. The entire global culture has been transformed since its advent and its influence is rivaled only by the Internet. Did you know that the percentage of Americans who can name the Three Stooges (59 percent) is staggering com- pared to the number who can name three Supreme Court Justices (17 percent)? Could it be time to take a break from TV? Before cable and satellite programming, television was limited to a few channels - and well, if those channels didn't interest you, it was time to find something else to do. Now, with the abundance of channels to choose from, and shows designed to engage just about every home viewer, more and more people are spending increased hours in front of the television sit. While there's nothing wrong with enjoying your favorite shows, excessive time in front of the set can lead to prob- lems like decreased attention span and physical activity, which can impact health and the ability to succeed at work or school. That is why it is impor- tant to know not only when to tune in, but also when it's appro- priate to tune out and get involved with sports, recreation- al activities, or just reading a good book. However, it can be hard to "just say no" and get off of the sofa - especially when your favorite program is on so here are some helpful hints to help wean yourself off of a steady TV diet and get television out of your head, if only for a week or so: • Move the television set(s) to less prominent loca- tions. TV is far less tempting when it is inaccessible. • Hide the remote control. • Remove the TV set from your child's bedroom. A televi- sion in the bedroom draws chil- dren away from family activities and distracts them from home- work, thinking, reading and sleeping. In addition, it may also make it more difficult for par- ents to monitor programming that is inappropriate or unhealthy. · Keep the TV off during dinner. Career obligations and extracurricular activities have made parents and children busier than ever, and meals are a great time to play "catch-up." * Place firm time limits on television viewing. Try to restrict viewing to a half-hour per day or one hour every other evening. Explain your rules in positive, concrete terms. Try replacing, "You can't watch TV," with, "Let's turn off the TV so we can.." • Avoid using the TV as a babysitter. Involve children in household activities. Make laun- dry folding into a game. Give them an opportunity to help out. • Designate certain days of the week as TV-free days (e.g. school nights). • Don't use TV as a reward or punishment. This increases its power and can lead to conflict over its use. · Listen to your favorite music or the radio as back- ground noise. · Don't fret if children claim, "I'm bored!" For children, boredom often leads to creativi- ty. · Don't let the TV displace what's important: family con- versations, exercise, play, read- ing, creating, thinking and doing. The Drama Club, Ontario’s most popular provider for drama for young people, will partner with the municipalities of Clarington, Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax to offer its 9th year of “Play in a Week” camp! Every camp is run by a certified teacher and trained coun- sellors who use a unique copyrighted play prepara- tion process to create an unforgettable week: Participants start camp on Monday and put on a musical five days later! Each actor will receive a scripted role in the play as well as training in acting, character development, voice projection, singing, dancing, and theatre games. It’s a week of fun which includes special days, prizes and a perfor- mance on stage before par- ents and friends on Friday.
