The West Rouge Canoe Club held its regatta last weekend. Knows where it went wrong on Pickering A BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Tell us something we don’t know. That’s Ontario Power Genera- tion’s reaction to the first of the feedback from a provincial probe into the Pickering A gen- erating station, which says the project ran into delays and cost overruns because it lacked an overall engineering plan. “This is nothing new to what we have found and reported,” said Ontario Power Generation (OPG) spokesman John Earl. “Ontario Power Generation was already of the mind it had underestimated the project.” Earlier this week, former fed- eral energy minister Jake Epp said in an interview lack of ini- tial work in defining the scope of the project led to an open- ended process where costs be- came hard to control. Mr. Epp is leading a three- man panel charged with find- ing out what went wrong at Pickering A. The station was shut down in 19 97, followed by a full review of the company’s operations. OPG had planned to restart Unit 4, the first of four reactors, in 2001. It is expected to be up and r unning at the end of this month with the work costing $2.5 billion - more than twice the original estimate. Mr. Epp said it’s clear from what he’s seen so far that the project got under way before it was completely planned. “The engineering was not all done” when contracts were awarded, he said. “It was done throughout the whole process.” “If they don’t know what the scope of work is, they might have to build in a lot of add- ons,” he added. The panel, Mr. Epp said, will look at the relationship among the project’s principal players: OPG; Atomic Energy of Cana- da Limited, which developed the technology used at Picker- ing A; and Canec, a consortium of companies that won the job of general contractor. Probe feedback not new for OPG Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Courthouse call will come in fall Ajax among six sites considered DDUURRHHAAMM — A new courthouse is coming to Durham Region and the provincial government is now promising to have a deci- sion this fall on exactly where it will be and who will design, build, and operate the facility. Attorney General Norm Ster- ling announced Tuesday the Province is looking at six differ- ent proposals to create, finance and operate the 33-courtroom, 350,000-square-foot courthouse. It will include child-friendly courtrooms and related justice services such as a victim and witness assistance program, Crown attorneys’ offices, court staff offices and community agencies. The Province also says enhanced security features at the new courthouse will include secure entrances for the trans- portation of prisoners, secure corridors, and audio and video surveillance systems. The six competing proposals for the courthouse include possi- ble sites in Ajax, Oshawa, or Whitby. The new consolidated courthouse is expected to amal- gamate the 24 courtrooms that operate in six different locations throughout Durham and the Crown attorneys’ offices which runs out of a seventh location. The private-sector consortium chosen for the project will as- sume responsibility for the own- ership, operation and mainte- nance of the facility. “The residents of Durham have long been aware of the need for a safer venue, and that’s why the government has proceeded in this manner,” said Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette. ✦See OPG page 7 A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 11, 2003 www.durhamregion.com CHOICES FREE4AAnnyy • Bed Frame •NO PST •Mattress Pad •Bed Rails •NO GST •Comforter •Layaway •Pillow •Set-up •Disposal of Old Set •Percale Set of Sheets •Local Delivery COUPON Single Mattress Double $219 Set $389 Queen $279 Set $479 King $469 Set $759 $179 COMFORT SLEEP 15 YR WARRANTY Double $239 Set $419 Queen $299 Set $519 King $489 Set $809 $199 COMFORT SLEEP S/E 20 YR WARRANTY Double $489 Set $699 Queen $579 Set $829 King $709 Set $1089 $379 POCKET COIL PILLOW TOP 25 YR WARRANTY Single Mattress Double $159 Set $269 Queen $209 Set $379 $99 POSTURE CARE 10 YR WARRANTY Set $189 Set $319 Single Mattress Set $339 Set $569 With Any Mattress Set Purchasedcoupon not valid with this unit Single Mattress Alexander Futon $366 Bedroom Suite $449 $169 $319 $419 $469 $129 $269 $169 ON SALE A Frame Futon Complete $167 Iron Futon Complete $188 Promo Sleigh Bed $198 Milan Solid Wood Bed $299 Captain Economy 4 Drawers Included $277 Vanessa Daybed $127 Silver Iron Futon Complete $223 Waterfall Daybed $85 Space Saver Metal Bunk $199 Silver Bunk $336 Futon Bunk $277 Electric Bed Complete $1264 Milan Twin Double Bunk $482 $394 Christina Iron Bed $191 Monaco Bed $293 New Model Harvard Bunk Complete HOURS Mon. - Wed. 10-6 Thurs. - Fri. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 Sun. 11-4 rrs TM FINANCING ACCEPTED PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED 40 FACTORY OUTLETS ACROSS ONTARIO INCLUDING...

DDUURRHHAAMM — Val Marshall is on sabbatical from her travel business, but that doesn’t mean she’s taking it easy. The community activist and entrepreneur is going to be busy leading the 2003 fund-raising campaign for the Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge United Way. The goal this year is to raise $1.6 million. “This year, I’ve accepted the challenge to chair the an- nual campaign for the United Wa y. Our family has lived in Ajax for over 30 years and vol- unteering has been a part of our lives. During the 1980s and 1990s, I was fortunate to serve on the United Way board of directors,” she said while accepting the position. Ms. Marshall said the Unit- ed Way is “simply the most ef- fective and accountable way of supporting, building and strengthening our communi- ties.” Joining her on the fund- raising cabinet are Margaret Bishop, Bruce Boyle, Rhoda Brands-Stuart, Doug Crich- ton, Sheila M. Entwistle, Louise Farr, Barbara M. Fleming, Ken Gallen, Ricardo Gomez, Tom Haslam, Nancy Hughes, H. Nindi Kang, Kim Kinder, John Leonard, Jamie Lowery, Geoff Nie, Bob Pinkney, Deanna Roxburgh, Kristin Sciarra, Bill Smith, Jeremy Ward, Tobi Williams, Beth Wilson and Peggy Wil- son. Also, the mayor of each community serves as an hon- ourary chairman. Ms. Marshall was the recip- ient of the Ajax Civic Award in 2001, an honour given an- nually to a resident of the community who has made an outstanding and continuous volunteer contribution to the Town. In 2002, she was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for Service to the Community. She joined the Ajax Rotary Club in 1990, becoming the group’s first female member, and in 1995 was the first woman president. Ms. Marshall was a found- ing member of the Friends of the Ajax Public Library, a group that recently complet- ed a $1-million fund-raising ef- fort for a new main branch. In 1987, she founded Val Marshall Travel with partner Gale Mossman. From 1976 to 1980, she served on Ajax council and was a member of the United Way board of directors from 19 77 to 19 81, and again in the 1990s. She and husband Allan have been married 40 years and have two grown children, Stephen and Cathryn.

And the 50- year-old Chatham, Ont., man should know, I think to myself, because he has been all across this country - on foot. I decided to walk a couple of blocks with the Krishna monk - who is currently making his sec- ond journey across Canada - and talk about shoes, cars, and the meaning of life. “You see things close up,” the monk tells me about walking. “You see all the details.” A few hundred cars speed by us as he calmly speaks, and a few little ants dip into the side- walk cracks. He sees it all. Mr. Bhaktimarga is headed for Victoria, he tells me, as more of a “friend-raiser” than a “fund- raiser.” He says he’s not trying to pull anyone into a specific philosophy - just encourage peo- ple to slow down and appreciate the beauty of our country. “It’s pretty basic,” he explains. “It’s like a therapy... It allows for ref lection.” The world is so fast, he insists. “It’s all car culture.” Mr. Bhaktimarga starts his walk at about 4 a.m. each day, and anticipates using four pairs of running shoes over the course of his entire journey. He’s ac- companied by a van and several companions who provide suste- nance for the walker. He tells me about his first walk across the country, in 1996 and how he felt he needed to complete the loop by doing it again. I ask him if that’s symbol- ic of his life philosophy. The monk laughs softly, explaining how he wasn’t planning to talk much about philosophy, but “you asked for it,” he says. He tells me his beliefs about the cyclic nature of life and rein- carnation, and how one life isn’t enough to learn all we need to know. “J ust like only one walk across Canada?” I ask. Perhaps. He describes the trek as a kind of pilgrimage. Not just reli- g ious sites are sacred, he adds. It can be seen in people and na- ture, too, insists Mr. Bhaktimar- ga. The monk tells me about early morning, and how the world starts to speed up as the sun as- cends overhead. More cars fly by as we speak. For a moment, I re- alize, I had almost forgotten they were there. Kind of like meditation, I think. Everybody’s in such a hurry, says Mr. Bhaktimarga. And I re- alize he’s right. Stereos blare; planes fly overhead; people line up for drive-through food. But, my friend likes this area of Canada, he says. He likes the people and many of the Victori- an-style buildings. “It’s a good part of the trip,” he says. When we reach the top of a hill, I tell him I have to go back to work. A car is waiting for me, and we both sense the irony. I wave goodbye and leave the friendly monk to walk in con- templation along the road. I sit in the car, merging back into the speed-driven highway on my way back to the office to make deadline. Road to peace goes through Durham Bhaktimarga Swami, a Krishna monk, travels west on Hwy. 2. He is travelling across Canada for what he calls a ‘friend-raiser’, hoping people will slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world. Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Searching for a public treasure Vision and courage are needed for vibrant Pickering waterfront Despite a long and arduous battle it appears Pickering's di- vining rod is squarely pointed in the right direction when it comes to its waterfront. While the City has just completed the groundbreaking for its Great Lakes Nautical Village, it's the vision of what's needed for all residents along the lakefront that has to be the immediate focus. Although some south Durham municipalities have to-date done more with the waterfront, the focus has been, for the most part, strictly on green space and trail systems. Take a look around Ontario, Canada, the U.S. or internationally, and you will find most communities use the waterfront as a focal point for not just a residential setting but for the entire community and tourism. In the last 30 years it appears this is certainly not the case when travelling along the lakeshore in Durham. The tell-tale sign most certainly has been the lower than average property values and housing market to the south with the exception of certain rural pockets. While Pickering's vision for a pedestrian-friendly village hasn't come easy, it's the desire for some sort of community commercial component that could be the City's trump card. While the On- tario Municipal Board already tied the hands of Pickering with its narrow-minded scope, when it came to the number of resi- dential units to be built, the City must be diligent in its vision. Unfortunately, due to that OMB ruling, it appears the market, more than the City, may determine the village's future. Still, Pickering must use whatever power it has to ensure that the village's commercial tenants are in keeping with its vision. A first-come first-served policy instead of focusing on the types of pedestrian-tourist friendly commercial components would be a mistake. A short-term grab the money and get-out philosophy will kill any long-term hopes. Pickering has to make this a focal point and not just with a typical commercial plaza to serve the new residential component. The typical mini-plaza consisting of convenience, pizza and dry cleaning stores won't cut it down there. An upscale all-year restaurant with an outdoor patio, ice cream parlour, and specialty stores are the types of commercial components that Pickering needs along the waterfront. Councillor Mark Holland appears to understand the impor- tance of this project and says there is interest from businesses that would be more community focused. Same sex marriages concern some TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Contrary to what some 'experts' are say- ing, I believe the majority of Canadians are not 'relaxed' about the government's failure to appeal the recent ruling by the courts that grants same-sex couples the right to marry. I, for one, am very disappointed that a special interest group plus three misled judges were able to hijack marriage with- out so much as a whimper from our gov- ernmental leaders - both federal and provincial. If something so fundamental to our society as marriage was able to be al- tered by so few, without any consensus by the people, what's next? What other spe- cial interest groups will try to enforce their agenda on an unsuspecting public? Also, what's next on the gay-rights political agenda? Marriage should be preserved strictly for husband and wife, man and woman, just as it was originally intended by God. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh." Genesis 2:24 - the Bible. Canada was founded on Judaeo-Christ- ian principles as found in the Bible. To mess around with such an important building block in our society is, in my opin- ion, dangerous and foolhardy. I pray that our country will continue to be a place of safety, freedom, and security for people. However, if the foundations are crumbling, what is going to hold the building up?

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 11, 2003 www.durhamregion.com And they call this relaxation... While carving my way through 18 holes of golf the other day, I thought about what a strange way people find to oc- cupy themselves in order to 'relax.' Think about it. Anyone who has ever taken back a club will understand the concept of golf as a mechanism for relaxation is somewhat ludicrous. I have to choke back a laugh when I hear golf referred to as a sport. The motorized golf cart killed that. There may be those who disagree, but con- sider this: When was the last time in a hockey or football game or for that matter, the Tour de France, a girl in a cart pulled up selling cold beverages to the participants? If golf is a sport, so is chess. Doctors know golf isn't exercise. If your doctor becomes unreasonable on this whole exercise thing, tell him (or her) the clubhouse hotdog and fries contain valuable fats and oils that help the blood slide through the veins. When I golf, I may not actu- ally be moving that quickly, but my overworked, overstressed ticker is actually banging away like a hydro generator in Ontario during a heat wave. Between the stress induced by missing short putts in front of your fellow golfers, there is the added thrill of hearing the word 'fore' yelled out a millisecond before some ball with a mind of its own whizzes by your ear at about a thousand miles an hour. Try to concentrate after that. Some golfers have solved the whole stress thing by employing the ancient art of creative mathematics. I am dumbfounded when I watch someone bash their way toward the green across several fairways, using their irons so often they constitute lawn care implements, and utter the word 'par' after finally sinking it. I un- derstand completely why we are in such an economic mess when you know the numerically-challenged golfer is an accountant. Then there are those who seem to pace their game. One beer per hole. I can't help wondering how they even see the ball after eight holes. What is incredible is that for some their score actually improves with consumption. I think that is because after six beers, you stop caring what other people think, and once you have eliminated the 'choke' factor, your game im- proves. Maybe I'll ask my doctor if beer helps the blood slide through the veins too. David Barwell lives in Pickering, works in Toronto and enjoys writing about life's oddities.

Many of the project’s work pack- ages overlapped, making it difficult to hold the various players account- able for their work, Mr. Epp said. OPG admitted as much publicly as early as last year when the head of the company addressed the Ameri- can Manufacturers of Power Associ- ation, said Mr. Earl. It also acknowl- edged as much when it took over as general contractor on the job in 2002. “We’ve said all along there was a need for better upfront design work and a need for better upfront project management,” he said. “It was our own self-assessment that OPG did- n’t take good control of the project.” While the company hasn’t commit- ted on a date to refurbishing the other three reactors, Mr. Earl said each one is expected to take nine months to a year to complete. “Before we move forward on Units 1, 2 and 3, Ontario Power Generation plans to take the lessons it learned from the Unit 4 refurbishment,” he said. --wwiitthh ffiilleess ffrroomm TToorrssttaarr www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 11, 2003 PAGE 7 P 2896565aPOSTMENOPAUSAL FEMALES WANTED Biovail is a Contract Research Organization specializing in conducting Phase 1 bioequivalence studies.

Mr. Heron, of Brooklin, received the Life- time Membership Award from the agency, which helps disabled adults remain in their own homes. Since becoming a volunteer in 19 97, he has given more than 3,250 hours of service. At a recent annual meeting organiz- ers praised him for going above and beyond ‘the call of duty’ by recruiting new volunteers and assisting in fund-raising events. The Lynn Morrall Award honours an ex- ceptional COPE Mental Health volunteer and this year Barbara Tschakovsky from Brock Township earned the distinction. Ms. Tschakovsky became a volunteer with the COPE program in 1992, sharing her ability to find and nurture the strengths of others, while challenging them to live to their poten- tial. Last year the organization served more than 8,000 Durham Region adults with needs ranging from physical disabilities, aging and mental illness. During the summer, Community Care is looking for drivers to take people to medical appointments and therapy, as well as deliver ‘Meals on Wheels.’ Visit www.community- caredurham.on.ca or call 905-404-2224, ext. 0 for more information.

That seems to be the trade-off these days. Often, hot summer temperatures combined with a warm breeze and pollution, pro- duced both here in Durham and farther afield, equate to bad air days, complete with smoggy con- ditions and the yellowish haze that has become an all-too-famil- iar part of the summer horizon. “With the lazy days of summer come the hazy days of summer and that’s what our geography tells us we have to endure” here in the Greater Toronto Area, confirms David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada. Smog is a mixture of ground- level ozone, toxic gasses, and fine particulate matter that can dam- age both human health and the environment. According to the Ontario Environment Ministry, the province’s smog is caused by a combination of local emissions and pollutants carried by the wind from the United States. More than half our smog is be- lieved to originate south of the border, says the ministry. Last summer, smoggy condi- tions led to seven air quality ad- visories, covering a total of 18 days, in the Greater Toronto Area, says John Steele, Ontario Environment Ministry spokesman. The same number of smog advisories, covering 20 days, were issued in 2001, while only three advisories, covering three days, were issued in the much cooler, wetter summer of 2000, he says. “Air quality is heavily depen- dent upon climatic conditions,” says Mr. Steele. “And the last two years have been warm and dry.” The ministry issues smog ad- visories when there is a high probability poor air quality will occur within the next 24 hours. Here in Durham, the first adviso- ry of this year was issued June 22, to begin June 23, and carried through most of that week. The Province monitors air quality and provides daily re- ports on the Air Quality Index, on which conditions can rate anywhere from zero to more than 10 0, or very good to very poor. In Durham, conditions are moni- tored from a station at Ritson Road Public School in Oshawa. “It’s constantly being mea- sured and being reported to a data system on an hourly basis,” says Mr. Steele. Bad air conditions can spell in- creased breathing difficulties, both for those with pre-existing medical problems and for the normally healthy, says Brian Stocks, Air Quality Manager with the Ontario Lung Association. “What happens is people with pre-existing heart and lung dis- ease and chronic asthma will often find, on a day like today, it’s harder to get a breath,” he said in late June, as Durham experi- enced its first smog advisory of the season. Those who regularly have problems might, on a doc- tor’s advice, find they have to in- crease medication and stay in- side, in cooler, cleaner condi- tions, during bad air days, says Mr. Stocks. “Those folks need to stay on their medication religiously, and if they do have breathing difficul- ty, they need to seek medical at- tention,” he says. Healthy people, during periods where smog is at its peak, tend to be “breathing deeper, so they’re taking the pollution deeper” into their systems, says Mr. Stock. Those individuals need to “let their body be their guide,” and find cooler, cleaner places to ex- ercise during smoggy conditions, he advises. There are a number of actions people can take to help spare the air, not only during periods of bad air quality, but year-round, including driving cleaner, not leaving the car to idle, and ensur- ing homes are energy-efficient, says Mr. Stock. “Think of the impact of the thousands and thousands of us who do these things, and it can be quite significant,” he says. It’s not just individuals who can do something to help the air. For example, the Region of Durham has just adopted the Corporate Model for Clean Air, which will see Regional depart- ments implementing a variety of pollution-reducing measures. “The focus of the corporate model is to look at what we can do as a Regional corporation to deal with air quality issues both on a long-term basis and when there are smog alerts or smog warnings,” says Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health. The program is part of the Region’s commitment to the Greater Toronto Area Clean Air Council, and the Inter-govern- mental Declaration on Clean Air, says Dr. Kyle. The plan will see a number of air pollution mitigation mea- sures put in place. For example, some Regional employees could be encouraged to work from home during smoggy conditions, thus eliminating the need for pol- lution-causing transportation. The plan also calls for other mea- sures, including the reduction in the use of gas- and diesel-pow- ered equipment and suspension of street sweeping during bad air days. “What we’ve tried to capture in our document are certain ac- tions in the short, medium and long term that we can take as a Region to improve air quality,” says Dr. Kyle. He notes the pro- gram was only recently endorsed by Regional council, and is, therefore, in the early stages of implementation. And what can we expect this summer? Only time will tell for sure, but Environment Canada released its summer forecast June 1. “This year, the temperature forecast is near normal for the whole province,” says Mr. Phillips. “It’s kind of a Goldilocks kind of summer - not too hot and not too cold.” That doesn’t mean there won’t be hot spells, he says. But, all in all, Mr. Phillips is predicting a summer that might be some- what less smoggy than the two previous, given the forecast, which also calls for near-normal to normal precipitation. “If that is the way it material- izes, that actually would be bet- ter for air quality,” he says. On one of the first smoggy days of this summer in late June, a haze covers the horizon from this view at Grandview Street and Taunton Road in Oshawa. Lakeridge Health Oshawa is in the background, two to three kilometres away. Last summer, there were 18 days reported with bad air quality. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Smoggy summers DDUURRHHAAMM — The Ontario Environ- ment Ministry has a number of sug- gestions on how individuals can help ‘spare the air.’ Here’s a sample, taken from the Air Quality Ontario Web site, at www.airqualityontario.com: • Reduce car use, year-round: walk, cycle or take public transit, since emissions from cars, trucks and buses contribute greatly to On- tario’s smog problem. • If you must drive, drive clean by car-pooling, keeping the car well- tuned, turning the engine off even for short stops, driving at moderate speeds, checking tires regularly, and refueling after sundown, when air pollution levels are lower and gaso- line vapours won’t add to the prob- lem. • Conserve energy by turning off lights and turning down the air- conditioner, since generating elec- tricity contributes to smog. • Limit use of small engine tools, such as lawnmowers, chain- saws and leaf blowers. • Use air-friendly products: Avoid aerosol cans and cleaners, oil-based paints and other chemical products that contribute to poor air quality both indoors and out.

Flowering shrubs can be utilized in a variety of gardening settings: they can provide blooms, fragrance, ber ries and fall colour. From early spring until late autumn, flowering shrubs are an excellent choice in the home landscape. The ‘Royal Star’ magnolia is the perfect way to start off the gardening season as its white or pink blooms signify that spring has arrived in all its glory. With its impressive height of eight to 10 feet, and its five- petalled blooms, which appear before the leaves unfurl, the ‘Royal Star’ magnolia provides a stunning accent for a front yard where the blossoms can be viewed on a daily basis. When the leaves appear the stature of this shrub also works in providing screening for privacy between neighbouring homes. To continue the flowering sequence with white blooms in May and June, plant the following: • ‘Bridalwreath’ spirea, which continues to be a favourite with its cascading branches and larger growth habit • ‘Garland’ spirea, which resembles the blooming habit of ‘Bridalwreath’. However its height and width remain at three feet • ‘Snowmound’ spirea, which clearly resembles a huge snowball when in full bloom. All three of these white spireas work well in a variety of landscape settings, from a single accent specimen to a larger grouping of three for additional impact, or as a flowering shrub border hedge. Continuing on with white blooms is the large family of viburnums, which flower in May and June. Many of the viburnums are four-season interest plants as they bloom in spring; many then have berries and outstanding fall foliage in the red hues; and some such as ‘Doublef ile’ have a unique horizontal branching habit for winter interest. From the large round blooms of the ‘Snowball’ viburnum to the delightful scent of ‘Fragrant’ viburnum, to the other varieties such as ‘Arrowwood’ or ‘Highbush Cranberry’, there is a viburnum for any home garden design. When planting flowering shrubs, follow the recommendations below: • Plant suitable shrubs for sun conditions and other varieties that will handle filtered to full shade. • Use a transplant fertilizer to promote root growth • And lastly, provide consistent watering throughout the summer with a last good watering in mid-November before the ground freezes Keep these white flowering spring blooming shrubs in mind when making new gardens or as additions to existing gardens, and until next week’s column...

Pick up the July issue at professional offices or call 905-426-4676 to be on our mailing list Durham Business Times In my June 11 column re- garding encouragement for more wind power, I re- ferred to a $1 billion com- mitment that the Interna- tional Thermonuclear Ex- perimental Reactor (ITER) project is asking from the federal govern- ment toward the cost of the fusion reactor mega- project. Dave H. Martin, policy advisor of the Sierra Club of Canada, in a letter I re- ceived last week, stated that I had underestimat- ed. He wrote, “To clarify the fusion confusion, ITER is a $19-billion experimen- tal fusion reactor. The $19 billion will come from all ITER partners, but if Canada hosts the reactor, taxpayers will have to ante up $2.3 billion. “The federal cabinet is deciding whether to pro- vide half of $2.3 billion sub- sidy and the Ontario gov- ernment is being asked to provide the other half. In addition, the federal gov- ernment is also being asked to restart the feder- al fusion research pro- gram, which might cost another $900 million dur- ing ITER’s lifetime. With Ontario’s subsidy, the total bill to taxpayers would be over $3 billion.” To obtain further re- search on figures, a spokesperson at ITER Canada told me it is al- most impossible to be ac- curate on projected subsi- dies due to ITER’s im- mense size and because so many parameters come into play. ITER’s March 2002 literature stated ITER to be a $12-billion project. The $12 billion is actually the shared ITER costs with the other $6-7 billion to include disman- tling and clean-up, salary costs for scientists covered by their representative companies and infrastruc- ture costs for the host site. Those who are 60-plus will remember the slogan ‘Live Better Electrically’ which is now part of the problem. With our reliance on computers, entertain- ment devices, appliances and other conveniences, today’s electrical appetite has run rampant. Hopefully, both govern- ments and OPG will invest more money on energy conservation and its pro- motion as well as on re- search to develop even more energy efficient products. Public educa- tion and fields of wind power (locally repairable and locally owned) would provide clean, safe, reli- able renewable energy now with costs that would not escalate out of proportion. Recently, the Ontario gov- ernment announced it would be launching adver- tisements encouraging people to use the energy- saving incandescent light bulbs. Hopefully both gov- ernments and OPG will in- vest even more. ITER fusion reactor re- search will still produce Canadian jobs for the manufacturing of parts as we are an international partner, but it may never materialize into producing any electricity at all. For that, we must be pre- pared! Debating teams, who do extensive research, should tackle this issue of futuris- tic importance. ••• EEAASSYY EENNEERRGGYY TTIIPPSS:: • Keep your light bulbs clean. A dusty bulb uses more energy than a clean one. • Turn off your printer until you are ready to use it. • Look back into a room when you leave and turn off lights or TV if you are not planning to return. • If your refrigerator has a ‘soft/hard butter’ switch, turn it to soft.

News Advertiser ...keeping you in touch with your community Metroland Durham Region Media Second year of jazz festival bigger, better BByy CChhrriissttyy CChhaassee Entertainment Editor OOSSHHAAWWAA ——jjuullyy1111eennttppgg66 Downtown Oshawa will soon be all jazzed up and raring to go. The Oshawa Jazz and Blues Festival kicks off for a second year Aug. 11 and will keep you entertained through Aug. 16. Popular events from last year's festi- val are back with something new, an outdoor movie. This year's headliner of the free, daylong concert that wraps up the festival is Canada's Jeff Healey's Jazz Wizards. "It's huge," said Kerri King, of Eclipse Concerts, festival producer. "People are pretty excited about the festival. Last year, we had thousands of people at the festival and we're hoping to do even better this year." The festival is a mix of great local musicians and nationally-known artists, King said. Once again, the festival will start with a Life With Jazz, a free interactive lecture by Rob McConnell, who has played with the renowned Boss Brass for over 30 years. Look for him Aug. 11 at Oshawa Public Li- brary's main branch on Bagot Street. The doors will open at 7 p.m. On Aug. 12, it's the sounds of Dixieland as Le Skratch hosts a Mardi Gras. The masquerade ball will feature music by local classical jazz band Xsentrik, led by Herb Knox. There will be prizes for best costume. Again, ad- mission is free. "I think one of the most exciting events is going to be the movie night," King said. On Aug. 13, the downtown will become an outdoor movie theatre as the Down- town Oshawa Board of Management presents the Oscar-winning musical 'Chicago,' sponsored by Al- liance/Atlantis. One scene from the movie was made at Parkwood Estate in Os- hawa, which figures in the festival. And that's not all. There will be good food, a beer tent and entertain- ment by Bryan Livett and Swing Machine, featuring Livett, Nelson Poirier, Rob Bulger and Ron Johnston, and the Chicago Girls, a dance troupe from Creative Dance Workshop. Johnston had a role in 'Chicago,' play- ing one of the musicians. The food will come in the form of tasty treats from local restaurants, through- out the downtown and the rest of the city, King said. For $5, people will be able to sample five goods between 6 and 8:30 p.m. The entertain- ment will keep things hop- ping until the movie starts about 9:30 or 9:45 p.m. Ad- mission is free. Bring your lawn chair. On Aug. 14, Parkwood will be the scene of the Friends of the Festival Cocktail party, the only event that is not free. Boogie-woogie mu- sician Tyler Yarema will take you back in time with his vocals and piano play- ing, tinged with blues and jazz. The professional dance group Swing Riot will offer demonstrations and give swing dance lessons. There will also be a silent auction of art. The cocktail party starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for the cocktail party. There's also a dinner, catered by Pelican, from 5 to 7 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are also $20. Tickets are available as of July 9 in Oshawa at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, 72 Queen St., at Parkwood, Simcoe Street and Adelaide Avenue, World's Collide, 80 Simcoe St. N., and Walter's Music in the Oshawa Cen- tre. The scene shifts to Memorial Park Aug. 15 for Jazz and Chardonnay, an evening of jazz under the stars. Admission is free. Then, the free Big Event will run Aug. 16, all day at Memorial Park. Jeff Healey's Jazz Wizards will top off the day. A popular Canadian rock musician known for his incredible guitar-playing, Healey also plays trumpet and trombone and sings lead vocals with this six- or eight-piece jazz band. King said a new sponsor, Mo lson Breweries, has made it possible to bring in Healey's jazz band. Also featured will be Whit- by's Jack de Keyzer, whose CD '6 String Lover' won this year's Juno for best blues album in Canada, Whitby- based Big Daddy G, latin- flamenco guitarist and com- poser Peter Matthews, and his band Rendezvous, the Bourbon Street Buskers and the George Lake Big Band. Artisan's Alley, featuring works by many local arti- sans, will also be held in the park throughout the day of the Big Event. There will also be a Children's Art Spot.

Not Nikkita Holder. The 16-year-old city hurdler is getting in plenty of training, meeting other athletes and gen- erally having fun in preparation for the 2003 IAAF World Youth Track and Field Champi- onships in Sherbrooke, Quebec, which began Wednesday and continue through Sunday. Holder is one of the 55-mem- ber Canadian team competing against the finest young ath- letes (ages 15 to 17) from 160 countries. The Oshawa Legion Track Club member will compete in the 100-metre hurdles at worlds. Holder currently owns the fastest time in Canada for g irls' 17-and-under at 13.99 sec- onds. In addition to Holder, Ryan Finn, 16, of Ajax, will run in the 800 metres at worlds. Nervous? Not a bit, says Holder. Earlier this year, she ran at the National Scholastic Track and Field Champi- onships in New York City where she had some nervousness in running in her first internation- al meet. But, having that experience has been beneficial in limiting the butterflies leading up to the worlds. "This is the biggest meet for me so far, but I had been to one (a major meet) in New York in March, so I'm not as nervous as I was when I was in New York. I know what to expect," says Holder, a Dunbarton High School student. "I'm having a lot of fun, but when you're training it's a lot of work, too. They're hard work- outs lasting about one-and-a- half hours." She has no goals in mind for worlds, but would like to post a personal-best time, hopefully eclipsing her personal best of 13 .99 seconds. "Just to do my best. That's what I would like to do," she says. "I don't have a particular time in mind. Just to run well." Running at the worlds is icing on the cake for what has been an outstanding track season for Holder. Running in the senior age group for Dunbarton although still a junior, Holder won the 100-metre hurdles title at the Lake Ontario Secondary Ath- letics (LOSSA) championships in Oshawa and at the Central Regional championships at Yo rk University. At the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) track and field cham- pionships in St. Catharines, she earned a bronze medal in a time of 14.22. Following the world youth championships, Holder will turn her attention to the Legion provincial meet in London, Ont. July 18 and 19. She hopes to be able to ad- vance beyond the Legion provincials to compete at the national Legion meet later this summer. Holder will begin first-round competition at the worlds this afternoon (Friday). The semifi- nal is slated for 5 p.m. If she ad- vances to the finals, she'll race on Saturday at 3 p.m. PICKERING MEN’S SLO-PITCH LEAGUE Standings/ scores as of June 15 TUDOR ARMS DIVISION STANDINGS TEAM G W L T F A PTS The Bear & Firkin 9 7 2 0 142 108 14 Melanie Pringles Hitmen 8 6 2 0 106 81 12 Gophers 7 4 3 0 96 65 8 Stallions 9 3 6 0 90 107 6 Thirsty Monk 3RST 7 2 5 0 79 106 4 Melanie Pringles Chiefs 8 2 6 0 70 166 4 SCORES Melanie Pringles Hitmen 14 vs. Stallions 7; Melanie Pringles Hitmen ? vs. Gophers 12; Melanie Pringles Chiefs 7 vs. The Bear & Firkin 0 (default); Stallions 20 vs.Thirsty Monk 3RST 5.
