Shelter campaign moves into high gear Ajax, Pickering groups work to make women’s facility a reality BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Although domestic violence in Durham Region continues to increase, women and children in the Ajax-Pickering area still have nowhere to turn for help close to home. That’s why the push is on here to establish a women’s shelter to provide a safe haven and coun- selling services for abused women and their children. “Domestic violence, I’m sorry to say, is alive and well in Durham Region,” Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine told a crowd gathered at Gal- lantry’s Restaurant Wednesday for the campaign kick- off to raise $1.5 million to support a local shelter. “We will be participating in this project at every level to do our part to make sure this shelter gets off the ground because of what it means to the safety of our citizens.” The chief noted a Durham Regional Police domes- tic assault review committee is being formed to act as a mechanism for the police to gather input from the people who work with victims of domestic abuse. The campaign to set up a shelter in west Durham is being driven by the Ajax-Pickering Women’s Centre (APWC), which is currently negotiating a location. However, board members have requested that location not be publicized due to the sensitivity of the issue. Meanwhile, APWC board member and Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson reported the campaign has already raised more than $400,000. And, with the $45,000 that was pledged during Wednesday’s event, that figure continues to climb. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs on Wednesday presented the APWC with a cheque from the City for $23,000 towards the shelter after City councillors voted unanimously Monday to donate the surplus York pipe plan delayed More time sought to find common ground See YORK page 5 SHOWROOM OPEN! 239 Station St. HWY. 401 Westney Rd.Harwood Ave.See us from the 401 in Ajax!

PICKERING —Members of the public will have another opportunity to provide input to the Province on York Region’s proposal to build a water pipeline through Pickering after York withdrew its environmental assessment from the Ministry of the Environment late last week. “I think what happened in Durham (council) had an im- pact,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “I think the Durham vote really im- pacted them.” Durham council voted May 2 to support the City in its opposi- tion to the construction of the Call toll Free 1-888-BATH - RENO 1(888) 228-4736 (416) 285-6798 1534 Midland Ave., Scarborough Your Peace of Mind is Assured This is not a “multi-level marketing” or “work from home” program.

By converting unfinished basement and storage space into self contained in-law and nanny suites, they have increased their net monthly incomes by approximately $500 or more after taking into account financing costs to refurbish the space. The Program is designed to increase the value of the owner’s home, trigger income tax deductions, create surplus cash, and eliminate virtually all of the intricacies commonly associated with generating rental income. “By taking care of almost every aspect of the apartment construction, financing, tenant screening and rental process for the home owner, we’ve created a turn-key system that really works!”, says Sam Beninato, owner and creator of this program. ‘We create upscale projects that attract quality tenants who are willing to pay a premium for superior facilities.” A typical suite consists of approximately 800 square feet and includes two private bedrooms, combined living and dining room, full kitchen, separate laundry area, 5 appliances and a luxury four piece bathroom. Upgraded amenities consist of solid wood cabinets, ceramic tile, trim accent moldings, colonial doors, pot lights and premium broadloom throughout. Many people who have already made the decision to take advantage of this truly amazing concept, use surplus cash generated by the program to pay off debts, add to their retirement nest egg (eg. RSP’s, RIF’s, GIC’s, Mutual Funds) or travel and generally enjoy a better quality of life.

P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, May 13, 2001 BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Area mu- nicipalities need to increase restrictions on the number of garbage bags residents can place at the curb, introduce mandatory recycling and composting programs and ban grass clippings from landfills if Durham is going to improve its waste diver- sion efforts. Those are the recommen- dations a Toronto-based con- sulting company has high- lighted as ways to improve Durham’s waste management program. The results of the study by Enviros RIS of Toronto and a similar set of recommenda- tions from Durham’s waste management advisory com- mittee were presented to the Region’s works committee Wednesday. Councillors did not vote on any of the recommenda- tions, but works commission- er Jack McCorkell said the Region is eager to work with local municipalities in imple- menting the suggestions. “The purpose of the report is to tell you some of the best practices that other munici- palities are doing and that our advisory committee would like to see done in Durham,” said Mr. McCorkell. He also told councillors he met recently with public works directors from across Durham and the initiatives suggested by both the consul- tants and the advisory com- mittee are “the way every- body thinks we’re going to have to go. “At the staff level I think there’s a genuine consensus to move in this direction... to move to an integrated system with some kind of bag limits less than (what’s in place) today,” he said. He noted most municipal- ities in Durham currently limit the number of bags res- idents can place at the curb for pickup to four bags a week. The exception is Oshawa where the limit is eight. The suggestion from the Region’s advisory committee is to set a limit of three in mu- nicipalities across Durham. Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt said his municipality is eager to get moving on the suggested programs. “If we wait until every- body is on the same page, we’re never going to get there,” he said. “In Scugog we’re getting quite anxious to begin.” But, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said there needs to be a consensus among the Region’s munici- palities — which are respon- sible for the collection of waste — if Durham is going to implement mandatory pro- grams successfully. “I think the direction is good but I think there are some major hurdles. I don’t think this will work unless you’ve got all the municipali- ties doing the same thing. You can’t have five munici- palities saving landfills and the other three filling them up,” he said. Mr. McCorkell noted if Durham wants to reach its waste diversion targets, “vol- untary participation is going to have to be ratcheted up a bit.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 13, 2001 PAGE 3 P Durham considers tighter guidelines in waste battle Please recycle the News Advertiser!

The APWC also received a cheque Wednes- day for $20,000 from the Picker- ing Rotary Club, which is chal- lenging other ser- vice clubs in the community to match their dona- tion. The operators of a recent carni- val held at the Metro East Trade Centre donated $2,000 to the campaign Wednesday as well, which rep- resented the pro- ceeds from the two-week event. Durham Chairman Roger Anderson noted the Province’s budget, delivered Wednesday, in- cluded some good news re- garding funding for women’s shelters. And, he said he’ll be knocking on the finance minis- ter’s door to en- sure Durham gets its share. In delivering the budget Wednesday, Fi- nance Minister Jim Flaherty an- nounced the gov- ernment will spend $26 mil- lion over the next four years to cre- ate 300 new beds in shelters across the province. The Province will also provide $9 million annually for counselling and other sup- port, he said. Meanwhile, Durham Region- al Police Consta- ble Cheryl Carter, who’s first vice-president of the APWC, said Wednesday an arrest is made every day and a half in Durham Region with respect to domestic violence. She also reported the number of incidents here is rising. According to police statistics there were 542 cases of domestic violence reported to DRP in 1998, 549 cases in 1999 and 621 last year. “We need to take something bad and make something good out of it,” she said. “With your support we can turn it around.” For more information about the cam- paign contact the APWC at 905-426-1064.

Pickering employment expo about jobs, jobs, jobs pipeline. That vote came one day after Regional politicians witnessed a pre- sentation from York offi- cials about the impact the project would have on the Pickering community. “We were encouraged by the vote at the Region,” said David Steele, chair- man of the Pickering Com- munity Working Group (PCWG), which is also op- posed to the pipeline. He believes the Region’s deci- sion was a “move in the right direction”. In a letter to Ontario’s environment minister dated May 3,York’s chief admin- istrative officer Allan Wells requested the withdrawal of the EA, which he said York intends to resubmit to the government at the end of June. Mr. Wells reported the additional time would en- able York to reach an agreement with the City of Pickering on mitigation measures, to complete dis- cussions with the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area regarding an arrangement to use lands in the area for the project, and to wrap up talks with Durham Region regarding the placement of the pipeline. York officials will also continue to work with the PCWG on mitiga- tion issues, he noted. “It would be beneficial to the review of the EA if these discussions were completed to a point where decisions on agreements in principle could be made by the parties prior to submis- sion of formal comments on the EA,” Mr. Wells stat- ed in the letter, which was submitted to the ministry one day prior to the May 4 deadline for public com- ment on the issue. There will be another seven-week comment peri- od following the resubmis- sion of the EA document to the Province on June 29.

(ASI) of St. Catharines is applying to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) to provide supplemental effluent treatment to assist with the control of zebra mussels within the Ontario Power Generation Inc., Pickering A Nuclear Power Generating Station raw water supply system. The zebra mussel was introduced to the Great Lakes in 1986 and has since adversely impacted industrial and municipal water consumers throughout the region by colonizing the inside surfaces of facility piping. ASI is proposing to dechlorinate treated low pressure service water. The effluent (discharge) will be stringently monitored under guidelines set forth by the MOE for the removal of trace total residual chlorine prior to final discharge.

When the police came by last week, we were all hoping he was not the one in the accident. It was not to be. This is a terrible tragedy. I hope something good will come out of it. I hope no one on our street will use a cellphone in their car, and if they do, they will remember Rick and Mikaela and turn it off. I hope we can all take some time to reflect on our lives and correct anything that jeopardizes the well being of our- selves as parents and of our children. When you do, thank Rick and Mikaela for your safety. May God be with their family.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 13, 2001 Come on now, be honest, how many people out there can honestly say Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s little surprise of private school tax credits in Wednesday’s budget didn’t get them thinking? You know, warm and fuzzy thoughts of being able to send your children to school without worry of regular job action by teachers and staff and other ongoing conflict. Somehow I get the feeling many of you are now in the same position I am — that the possibility of up to $3,500 a year in tax credits can sure get a parent thinking about the prospect of taking the finance minis- ter up on his offer. For the record, it’s a prospect I hadn’t considered before. Yet, thanks to this golden egg, I suddenly find myself fighting an un- expected internal battle as my oldest son gets set to enter junior kinder- garten in just over a year. On the one hand there’s a public school system my wife and I both went through, a system she staunchly defended when I first broached the private topic. It’s a system with many fantastic teachers who make a differ- ence in kids’lives every day. But it’s that other hand that began to make her think and no doubt has done the same for countless others. You know the one - full of more warts than anyone would care to see. It has picket lines greeting your children. It has teachers balking at standardized testing, students who pass on to the next grade even when they’re clearly not ready, and school boards actually making excuses for kids who can’t read and write by the time they’re in Grade 10. Grade 10! It has too many vocal union leaders giv- ing a hard-working profession an ugly image. Frankly, it’s a system that just isn’t what it was 25, 20 or even 15 years ago. Which is why I’m willing to bet Mr. Flaherty’s tax credits offer a re- birth of sorts to many. And despite Dalton McGuinty’s latest half-truths to the contrary, pri- vate schools are not a system only for the wealthy. Many, if not a majority, of students are from middle- or low- income families in search of a quality education that is tied in nicely with their culture or religious beliefs. Still not convinced? Consider it from this perspective: Add the tax credit to the $6,500 a year many fam- ilies already pay in day-care costs per child and suddenly private school tu- ition isn’t so far out of reach. And if it isn’t too far out of reach, then neither is a quality education for our children — free of constant and unnecessary political chaos.

That’s why OPP Superintendent Jay Hope just finished another three-day highway blitz. Previous blitzes have focused on improp- er lane changes, speeding and left-lane hogs. The goal this time was to crack down on those who’ve got things other than driving on their minds. Even without all the incredible distractions drivers seem eager to throw in front of themselves, there are simply too many vehicles battling for too little space with too little road. Hwy. 401 and re- gional roads are getting more saturated with traffic every day as the GTA expands. So attention to detail out there is critical. Here are just a few tales from the 401 this past Monday: • One man was charged for speeding 130 km/h and was stopped after he went on to the shoulder and then back on the road. Turns out he was steering with his knees while he tried to unwrap a ham- burger; • A woman was charged after she missed her exit, then swerved over the shoulder. Police stopped her shortly after and discovered she was drinking coffee while reading and updating her Daytimer; • Another 401 driver was caught talking on his cellphone as he flew by cruisers at 170 km/h; and • A number of drivers were ticketed for cellphone chatter as po- lice ‘stealth’cruisers tailed them and noticed erratic driving that in- cluding speeding up and slowing down and swerving from one lane to another. Those ticketed were saddled with $325 fines and six demerit points to make sure they got the message. While the blitz is over, of- ficers on regular patrols on the 400-series highways will keep a spe- cial eye out for distracted drivers all summer long and into the fall. On Monday alone, 140 drivers were ticketed. Too often drivers are trying to eat, drink coffee, talk on cell- phones, read newspapers or books, or adjust calendars or palm pi- lots, all while travelling 110 to 120 km/h with traffic all around them. Some are trying to do two or more of the above at the same time. Just one poor reaction, one slip and the possibility of a multi- vehicle collision is very real. Here in Pickering on Monday, it appears the driver of a pickup truck who went through railroad warning gates and was hit by a train was talking on a cellphone just before the collision. The 30- year-old man and his two-year-old daughter were killed instantly in the tragic accident. We can’t think of a more harrowing, upsetting, unfortunate result due to driver distraction. Make sure you pay at- tention when you’re behind the wheel. It could save your life. Eyes forward, it’s very dangerous out there Blitz serves as reminder that road’s no place for distractions; you could kill or be killed Tony Doyle News Editor tdoyle@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 13, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s school communi- ty councils appear up to the challenge of more work, more responsibility, and a broader role in the education system. They’re diving in and divvying up the work, while still looking for more parents to get involved. Created in 1995, school community coun- cils (SCCs) became mandatory in all Ontario schools in September of that year. But it took five more years to receive a clear mandate. That happened last December, when the edu- cation ministry released its long-awaited regu- lations on SCCs. This fall, SCCs must have in place bylaws to address election procedures and conflict of interest rules. Their role as advisers to the prin- cipal has been expanded to include the entire school board on such weighty matters as stu- dent dress policy and improving academic achievement. Their input is now legislated and principals and boards must report back to councils on what they have done with their ad- vice. It’s a long way from the Parent-Teacher As- sociation, but Wendy Legere, chairman of the St. Michael Catholic Elementary School SCC in Oshawa, believes it’s a step in the right di- rection. When the transition period is over, she be- lieves, councils will be ready to meet the chal- lenge. “The focus has really changed, “ she says. “(But) once the process- es are in place, it’s an issue of dealing with these things on an ongoing basis.” As at most schools, it’s been tough to find peo- ple for the St. Michael council, says Ms. Legere, adding it’s diffi- cult to attract par- ents who do not sit on the council to the meetings. She believes that may be a result of former regulations that limited the in- volvement of par- ents not on the SCC executive and allowed councils to hold some closed-door meetings. “Some of the reg- ulations were very non-in- clusive, (and) a lot of those per- ceptions are still hanging around,” says Ms. Legere. “What we’re really working to- wards is making it more inclu- sive and get- ting people to under- stand the role of the council.” She attended several SCC meetings in the early days of councils but, like other people, was turned off because the councils didn’t have much direction. Currently in her first year as SCC chair- man, Ms. Legere says more parents are getting involved compared to the start of the year, though the formal council is still made up of just herself, a secretary and a treasurer. “We’ve started looking for a vice-chair, which under the new regulations will be co- chair,” she says. The SCC is also looking for someone to act as a communications representative to the wider school community, a reflection of the in- creased emphasis on the entire school commu- nity as opposed to only the SCC. The St. Michael SCC hopes to have a room at the school to hold and offer up an increasingly large collection of documents. “I just get a tonne of information,” says Ms. Legere. “We want some type of forum to share that with people.” An added problem at the school is that under former SCC regulations, an entire school council could be replaced if they had served a fixed, two-year term. “That’s what happened to us,” she says. “That’s really tough, when you start from scratch.” But she’s optimistic that after a settling-in period the council will be fine. Subcommittees have been established to deal with code of con- duct and student dress policies, and to develop bylaws. A parent referendum has already been held on a dress policy, one of the more talked- about new powers given to SCCs and the en- tire parent community. In the end, tweaking the school’s existing policy was chosen over other options, including a school uniform. “We believe at the elementary level that it’s pretty tough to put a seven-year-old in a uni- form who’s going to be rough-housing in the yard at recess,” says Ms. Legere. Yet, at Goodwood Public School in Uxbridge, a recent parent referendum came close to resulting in a uniform policy. Council chairman Rob Croxall says 66 per cent of par- ents voted for a uniform, but an 80 per cent minimum approval rating had been estab- lished. “With (80 per cent) I think you could have made something work,” he says. A uniform dress policy, in which all stu- dents would wear dark pants and/or skirts, for example, remains an option. Mr. Croxall is also a first-year SCC chair- man, and in his third year on the council. He is quick to point out SCCs are made up of vol- unteers, who may not have the time or exper- tise to perform some of their new duties. “We’ve tried to break some things up into some smaller subcommittee meetings because it’s hard to get everybody together,” he says. But Mr. Croxall suggested an established relationship with school staff and committed volunteers goes a long way towards making the recent changes easier to implement. He says the school principal and teachers have tra- ditionally encouraged an active role for par- ents. “For Goodwood, we’ve been extremely pleased with the level of teacher and parent in- volvement before community councils were even mandated,” he says. “More people should come out. It is a great information source.” Cathy Abraham is chairman of the Claring- ton School Council Association, comprised of 24 elementary and secondary school councils, and the council chairman at Newcastle Public School. As at Goodwood, she says the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board “has always been very supportive of school councils.” On top of that, a lot of the SCC’s new duties were already old news at the Kawartha board. In Ms. Abraham’s position, she has had the opportunity to meet with school council mem- bers from across the province at conferences like an education ministry-run forum in Barrie to explain the regulation. “I come back every time thinking,‘we’re so lucky,’” says Ms. Abraham. “I think there’s a lot of SCCs across the province who are going to look at the regulations as totally foreign.” She believes the new SCC responsibilities are going to frighten people away from joining councils; people unlike herself, who want no part of more responsibility, satisfied with tradi- tional school volunteer roles in areas like fund- raising. “I like the political end,” says Ms. Abraham. “The planning, the policy, I like all that stuff. But there’s a portion of the popula- tion at your school who will say, ‘this is not what I want’.” Ms. Abraham generally likes the new regu- lation, pleased to see some clarification of what had been a vague mandate. But she does- n’t agree with everything as far as the Province’s vision of councils are concerned, like playing a role in their school’s student dress policy. It’s not necessary, she says. “I can’t really imagine that there’s a single school in this entire province that does not al- ready have a dress code,” says Ms. Abraham. All the SCC chairs interviewed say coun- cils have enough on their plate for the time being. Education Minister Janet Ecker agrees. She says the role of SCCs won’t be expanded in the near future. But Ms. Ecker notes that as announced a year ago, parents will have a part to play in the evaluation of teachers in the Province’s teacher testing program. “There will be a role for parents,” she says. “A teacher’s ability to develop a relationship with a parent is a very important skill.” Ms. Legere says she’s prepared for a greater role in the future, but flinches at coun- cils being involved in performance reviews, saying it wouldn’t be fair to teachers. “I have not had the benefit of seeing them on a daily basis,” says Ms. Legere. Being consulted on the process and criteria for the selection of principals, and vice-princi- pals, another SCC right, is a different story. “At that end I think it’s OK to have councils involved because I think you can have criteria in front of you,” she says. Ms. Abraham disagrees. “I don’t want to be involved in principal ap- pointment; I don’t have that kind of expertise,” she says. Ms. Abraham can’t think of anything else school councils should be doing. However, she does has some thoughts on what they need: “Funding,” she says. “That’s the big one. How do we do this?” As an example, she points to the annual re- port on the activities SCCs must now provide to all families through the principal. It was al- ready happening at her school, but last year’s was a 10-page report for 430 families. “That’s a lot of paper,” says Ms. Abraham. “Who’s going to pay for that? Who’s going to pay for what we have to do? Who’s going to pay for professional development of school councils?” A part of the regulation that may become a problem this fall, when SCC elections are held, concerns their composition. Councils are not just made up of parents; community mem- bers and teachers also sit on SCCs. But some council mem- bers, who for years have contributed to councils, won’t be back next year. The new regulation states school board em- ployees cannot serve on the council at the school where they work. That in- cludes lunch- room monitors. “It’s only a five-hour-a-week job and to me is a volunteer job,” says Mr. Crox- all. “In the new regula- tion they are employees of the board and we’re going to lose them.” Two lunchroom monitors at Goodwood are “very active, con- tributing mem- bers” of the coun- cil, he says. The school council has asked the education ministry to re- consider that element of the regulation. Ms. Abra- ham fears SCCs are being given more and more respon- sibility as a prelude to the introduction of char- ter schools, which she says would be “terrible” for the province. “I don’t think we need to be setting up com- petition for schools,” she says. “I think we should make all schools good.” The Province has given school community coun- cils and the entire parent community the power to create a student dress pol- icy at their schools. Cur- rently, schools place few restrictions on students and allow them to dress more casually, like Miran- da Paterson, a Grade 11 pupil at Dunbarton High School. At the other end of the spectrum, Grade 10 stu- dent Tiffany Fedosen and her fellow students at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax, head to classes each day in a standard unifom.

Giving students this “learning edge” is the principle behind Oxford Learning Centres. Oxford provides per- sonalized programs for all age groups from preschool through high- school. Programs run throughout the year, after school and on Saturdays. In the summer, exciting half-day learning camps bridge the long summer break to help kids sharp- en their learning skills and get ready for a great start to the next school year. We Bring All the Pieces Together Success begins with a Diagnostic Assessment that identifies how each child learns, followed by an indi- vidual program to build his or her learning and academ- ic skills, confidence and self esteem. We know that there is a reason when a child fails to achieve his/her potential, even though that reason is not always obvious. So, we devel- oped the most advanced dynamic assessment tools in the field. Through this assessment we determine how each student learns, and then we create an individualized learning program that taps into the child’s hidden success potential. This cus- tomized approach helps students develop more effective ways of learn- ing. At Oxford, we teach our students to think and discover for themselves, and to be more organized, motivated, and indepen- dent learners. Before long, our students begin to transfer these new skills to their school work and home work. The results are higher grades, improved confidence and higher self esteem!

The target missed was the Nu- clear Performance Index, which measures such things as safety and production. The monthly ‘report card’ is re- leased by the corporation in an at- tempt to make itself accountable to the public. March report card results were as follows, for the first three months of 2001, except for measurements that are quarterly, as indicated: • In the Nuclear Performance Index reflecting 11 industry stan- dard performance measures set by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (for the first quarter of 2001) — 72.2 per cent, worse than OPG’s target of 76.2 per cent, and short of the industry median of 94.9 per cent. It’s a 0.2-point decrease over the fourth quarter of 2000. The most significant factor for missing the target was a 24-day unplanned outage on Unit 7 in January and February; • Public safety levels 1 and 2 events reportable to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission — zero, better than OPG’s target of one; • ‘Reactor trips’or the number of unplanned automatic reactor shut- downs per 7,000 hours — 0, better than the OPG target and the indus- try standard of one trip per 7,000 hours; • Capability factor or amount of energy capable of being produced per month as a percentage of per- fect performance — 82.7 per cent, bettering the OPG goal of 74.7 per cent, but below the industry median of 90.6 per cent; • Radiation dose in the first quar- ter to the public from both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ stations — 0.7 microsiev- erts (µSv), an international unit of dose, bettering the first quarterly target of 2.5 µSv. The regulatory limit is 1,000 µSv; • Major and moderate pre- ventable spills — zero, meeting the OPG goal of zero; • Industrial safety accident rate, which measures the number of ac- cidents per 200,000 work hours that result in lost work time, restricted- work injuries or fatalities — zero. The year-to-date rate is 0.21, below the OPG target of 0.30, but above the industry median of 0.07; and • Accident severity rate or the number of days lost for injuries per 200,000 hours worked — 0.17, bet- ter than the OPG goal of 3.4 days. OPG states performance listed worse than target is not an indica- tion the reactors are unsafe.

An all natural, 100% herbal product can help you achieve the look you want comfortably, with no tricks. Formula 36C from Herbal Magic quickly and naturally increases breast size. At the same time, it helps to reg- ulate female hormones and glands, and can help reduce PMS and other female related repro- ductive products. The herbal product contains a combination of 12 herbs traditionally used to balance female hor- mones. The herbs selected are botanicals specific to female reproductive func- tion, overall health and bal- ance. Formula 36C has been developed to contain high levels of phytoestrogens, plant hormone-like sub- stances similar to, but weaker than human estrogens. It acts by regulating and stimu- lating the body’s hormonal production an by making good estrogens available to the receptor cells in the mammary glands. This process promotes natural growth, increasing size and adding fullness. For many women, that also means increased self-esteem! The amount of time it takes to see breast growth varies from one woman to another. Some notice results in a few days, while others see results over several months. The herbs in Formula 36C have been used for hundreds of years in medical applications with no adverse side effects when taken in recom- mended doses. Use formula 36C with confi- dence, knowing that it contains no un- safe chemicals and is non-addictive. Some women may feel temporary soreness or tingling, similar to original breast development or lactation.

One of the most problematic health conditions today that can be dealt with effectively is CONSTIPA- TION! Many people don’t have bowel movements for days and sometimes a week. The more compromised diges- tion, the more symptoms will prevail. It is not as simple as, in one end and out the other. Digestion is a series of chemical breakdowns. Proteins break down into ammino acids, carbohydrates break down into glucose (when prop- erly absorbed into the body) and fats break down into fatty acids. When digestion is compromised, symptoms occur. Everyone today feasts on chips, crackers, bagels, pret- zels, cakes, muffins, and granola bars. Whole foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and free-range roasted poultry and legumes just can’t com- pete with the taste of refined foods that are laden with salt and sugar. A diet high in refined foods provides no fiber and too much sugar. This is what begins the vicious cycle. 1.Constipation or sluggish digestion occurs 2.Nutrients don’t get absorbed 3.Immune system plummets 4.Bacterial infections manifest 5.Antibiotics are pre- scribed 6.Good & bad bacte- ria are wiped out 7.Bad bacteria multi- ply 8.New infection sets in & more antibi- otics are required When bacteria levels are high, food cravings go out of control. If this sounds all too familiar, Food Sensitivity testing can help!

Based on full program. ADVERTISING FEATURE funded by the Government of Ontario. Since the program began in September, 1998 over 3,200 Durham children have been registered in the program. DPSLP offers a range of services including: early identification, assess- ment, parent education, group and Identifying Speech and Language Problems in Children Did you know that 1 in every 10 children has a problem with speaking or understanding? It is why every year May is designated Speech and Hearing Awareness Month. Delays in learning language is a very common problem for children, according to Leslie Suite, Clinical Program Manager of the Durham Preschool Speech and Learning Program. ”The key is to catch the problem as soon as possible,” said Suite “If not caught and treated early, communication problems can con- tribute to behavioral problems, affect a child’s ability to do well in school, and the capacity to make friends.” Durham Preschool Speech and Language Program (DPSLP) is a free service for preschool aged children liv- ing in Durham Region. It is hosted by Grandview Children’s Centre and Anyone of Any Age Can Have a Communication Disorder The Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA) will be sponsor- ing the “National Speech and Hearing Month” held in May. This year’s theme will be “Communication Nation-Say It, Hear It, Live It.” Thousands of speech-language pathologists and audiologists from across Canada will be promoting the health issues of speech, language and hearing. Among the many activities that will take place in May are information booths set up at local churches, schools and community centers, fundraisers such as fashion shows and golf tournaments, essays, contests, lectures and introducto- ry sign language workshops. Anyone of any age can have a communication disorder. Children can have communication disorders from birth, adults can develop disorders relat- ed to an injury or illness and older people will develop a gradual decline because of age. All this results in Canada losing bil- lions of dollars in lost productivity, spe- cial education and medical costs not to mention the burdens placed on families. Fortunately, if the problem cannot be eliminated, at least proper treatment and rehabilitation can minimize the iso- lating effects of most disorders. Some common speech and language impair- ments include stuttering which is the most widely recognized problem and aphasia, where one cannot put words together to express his or her thoughts. This usually results from a stroke or brain injury. For more information, please con- tact the CASLPA at 1-800-259-8519. For local help call Speech, Language and Learning Centre in Ajax at (905) 686-4800. one-on-one therapy. There are service locations throughout the Region and no doctor referral is necessary. ”If you think your child has a speech or language problem, they probably do,” said Suite. “Don’t wait to do something about it. Early help can make a difference.” To refer your child for an assess- ment, or for more information, please call: (905) 728-1673, Ext. 261 or 1-800- 304-6180, Ext. 261 See The Next Better Health on May 20th SPEECH & HEARING AWARENESS MONTH 2001 Friendly & Professional Staff SENIORS DISCOUNT CALL NOW Evening & Saturday Appointments Available NEW PATIENTS & EMERGENCY CALLS WELCOME - AMPLE FREE PARKING HARWOOD AVE.DURHAM CENTRE HWY. #2 HWY. 401 WE ARE HEREDURHAM CENTRE DENTAL 135 HARWOOD AVE.

On the job we are exposed to the sounds of office or indus- trial equipment, machin- ery and power tools. Off the job, our hearing is assaulted by the sounds of traffic, construction, music, and people. All these loud sounds of our busy world can con- tribute to hearing loss. Constant exposure to loud noise effects hear- ing because of the way our ears work. Sounds are transmitted as vibra- tions from the outer ear or cochlea. The cochlea contains thousands of microscopic hair cells which convert the vibra- tions into nerve impulses to the brain where they are interpreted as sounds. When noise is too loud for too long the hair cells become destroyed. It’s well known that continuous or repeated exposure to sound levels exceeding 90 decibels (louder than a lawn mower or shop tools) will eventually cause perma- nent hearing loss. Protect Your Hearing It therefore makes sense to do everything you can do to protect your hearing. The first step is obvi- ous: avoid harmful noise levels. If you can’t do this, wear air tight hear- ing protection. Earplugs or earmuffs from drug- stores or sporting goods stores provide good pro- tection. Different kinds of earplugs provide varying amounts of protection, depending on your needs. Ask your audiolo- gist. There are warning signs that can alert you to excessive noise levels in your workplace. If you have to shout to be heard, the noise level can possi- bly damage hearing. Sometimes after exposure to noise, you may get a ringing or buzzing sound in your ears. This is known as “tinnitus”,and you can think of it as natures warning that noise levels are danger- ously loud. You may also experi- ence a decrease in your ability to hear some sounds; this is called tem- porary threshold shift. Annual hearing checkups will answer the question, is my hearing changing? Schedule your appointment today and keep the lines of commu- nication open with your friends and family.

Therefore, annual physical exams are recommended for companion animals and even more so for geriatric animals. During the examination some of the following aspects should be reviewed: 1.Vaccination status - vaccinations against rabies, distemper, intestinal parasites, hepatitis and respiratory diseases should be considered. 2.Dental health - any odors, pains, and changes in appetite or weight. 4.Ears and eyes - any discharges, redness or itchiness. 5.Problems with breathing, sneezing, coughing or nasal discharges. 6.Behavioral problems - barking, bowel movements, or a change in temperament. 7.Check for problems with the feet, legs, and toenails or any limping. 8.Coat and skin - any hair loss, lumps, shedding or itchy spots. Many veterinarians also recommend screening and blood tests for kidney a n d hormonal diseases, especially for geriatric animals. Dogs, birds, horses, various reptiles, amphibians and an assortment of “pocket pets” now make up an integral part of some families. Extend the necessary care to help keep your animals healthy - visit the vet. Annual physical exams are recommended for companion animals Nurses: Champions for health The first people we see at the emergency room or at the doctor’s office are nurses. They are always on the front line and during National Nursing Week they will step up for a victory celebration as our Champions for Health. This year, our sisters of mercy are taking the championship message into the community. Between May 7 and 13, they will pay special tribute to Sandrine’s Gift of Life, a Canadian- based organization dedicated to increasing the number of organ and tissue donors everywhere. Named for Sandrine Craig, an 11- year-old girl who died suddenly in a school bus accident, this Champion for Health gave the gift of life when her parents donated her organs and tissues for transplant. Today, the campaign bearing her name focuses on the 3,500 Canadians still waiting for transplants and for their chance at a new beginning. In addition to this special tribute, National Nursing Week also celebrates Canada Health Day, which falls on May 12. This is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the nursing pioneer who dedicated her life to improving the quality of nursing and gaining respect for the profession in 19th Century England. Today, National Nursing Week recognizes the history of the Canadian Nurses’ Association, a federation of 11 provincial and territorial registered nursing associations. The membership of approximately 110,000 registered nurses is broad and diverse, reflecting the face of nursing today. Watch for CNA campaigns in your community. You will find information on health issues such as smoking cessation or asthma. Many health-related activities are also planned. These will include children’s poster contests, educational programs from home care nursing staff, and efforts to promote a variety of nursing careers to the next generation of Champions for Health.

The police veteran of 28 years was charged with crimi- nal harassment, prowl by night and mischief as a result of an ongoing investigation by the force’s professional standards unit into damage to the alleged victims’ property. The allegations stem from a “dispute involving former neighbours” and do not in- volve on-duty incidents, said the officer’s lawyer, Tom Balka. Police said a man had al- legedly harassed the family on numerous occasions beginning Jan. 1. Early on Wednesday morning, gasoline was al- legedly poured on the family’s lawn, and shortly after the sus- pect was arrested leaving the scene, says a statement issued by the force. On the consent of the Crown, Roland Joseph Houle, 54, of Whitby, was released on a $7,000 recognizance, with no deposit, following a short bail hearing in Oshawa court. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, May 16. Police said the officer, who worked out of the force’s sum- mons bureau, has been sus- pended from work with pay while the investigation contin- ues. Mr. Balka said he could not comment on the specific alle- gations but stressed, “There are two sides to every story and our side will come out.” Under the terms of his re- lease, Mr. Houle must abide by a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, un- less with his wife or daughter, not communicate with any of the alleged victims and stay at least 500 metres away from their residence. He is also banned from possessing any firearms, other weapons and explosives. www.durhamc.on.ca Hire Education COLLEGE University Centre at Durham Achieve your educational goals @ Durham College •Addictions Counsellor new •Court & Tribunal Agent new •Electronic Business new •Internet Database Specialist new •Law & Security Administration •Legal Administration/Law Clerk •Mechanical Engineering Technician Non-Destructive Evaluation new •Power Engineering Technician •Professional Golf Management new •Programmer Analyst Post-diploma new •Public & Private Investigations new •Power Engineering Technician •Telecommunications Technician new Call us @ 905-721-3088 www.durhamc.on.ca some of our job-fo c u s e d programs are: WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE A FRESH START Professional and Personalized Service Free Confidential Consultation CLARKE HENNING INC.

Ajax Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson was one of the school’s first students, a Grade 6 pupil when it opened in 1951 as a Grade 6 to 8 school. “It was great,” he said of his school days. “It was open fields, make your own recreation, and it was a time of welcoming new resi- dents to Ajax from different coun- tries. A lot of children came from Holland, some wearing their wood- en shoes to school. They worked on the farms and they were a signifi- cant factor in the development of Ajax and area.” St. Bernadette then was a one- building school, a war-time struc- ture that had been purchased and moved to a foundation on the site. Mr. Dickson says deep red shingles were added to the side of the build- ing to make it look like a school- house. Mr. Dickson walked to school from north Ajax. No, not ten miles through five-foot snowdrifts. It was a mile-and-a-half to Bayly Street and Harwood Avenue, and he left early because he was an altar boy at St. Bernadette Church, formerly lo- cated at Hunt Street and Harwood. “When you got home there was no television and you actually did homework,” said Mr. Dickson. “You always had one parent at home and everybody chipped in to help everybody else.” He said he most remembers the dedication and devotion of the Feli- cian Sisters who worked at the school, and the weekly visit by the parish priest. “As important as education was, religion was that much more impor- tant,” said Mr. Dickson. He has never lost touch with the school, having served as a two-term trustee when the Ajax Separate School Board was comprised of just St. Bernadette. Mr. Dickson said the reunion is “the chance of a lifetime” and he wouldn’t miss it. Grant Andrews, education direc- tor at the Durham Catholic District School Board, will also be attend- ing. He was principal of the school from 1968 to 1977. “It was a time of rather dramatic change,” he said. In January 1969, school boards were organized into much larger units of administration, said Mr. An- drews. Formerly a one-school board, the Ajax Catholic board be- came part of the larger Ontario County Separate School Board, stretching from the lakeshore to Brechin near Lake Simcoe. St. Bernadette was considered one of the most progressive schools in the region at the time, he recalled. It was one of the first schools to bring in the learn-to-swim and learn-to-skate programs, and stu- dents started learning French in Grade 3, unlike most schools, where French classes began in Grade 7. “The students at St. Bernadette, one thing I really noticed about them, is they were always very friendly, very happy children,” said Mr. Andrews. Jennifer Leclerc, in her first year as school principal, recalls sitting down with the celebration commit- tee and getting a sense of how big a deal the 50th is for the school and the town. “I expected roughly 200 people,” said Ms. Leclerc. “They said, ‘Jen- nifer, there’s going to be over 700’.” She says visitors will have an op- portunity to view memorabilia and pictures at stations in the school set up to highlight important times in St. Bernadette’s history. “Obviously it signifies a lot of history and a lot of memories for people in the community of Ajax,” said Ms. Leclerc. St. Bernadette Catholic Elemen- tary School’s celebration takes place Sunday May 27, beginning with a 4 p.m. mass at the adjacent St. Bernadette Roman Catholic Church, followed by a reception on the front lawn of the school. Be- tween 5 and 7 p.m., visitors can view the memorabilia on display in the school.

BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —SMIT has done it again. The St. Mary Improv Team, better known as SMIT, recently finished sixth at the Canadian Improv Games. The successful St. Mary Catholic Secondary School program entry was made up of students ranging from Grade 11 to OAC. By finishing second at the southern Ontario regional competition in Toronto, the team earned the chance to compete against 235 other improv teams from around the country. Co-coached by Anastasia Lainas, a drama teacher at the school, and Richard Wilt- shire, an OAC student and president of the school coun- cil, the team practiced in- tensely for about two months leading up to the competition, April 25 to 28, in Ottawa. Considering this year’s entry was made up of about 50 per cent new members and Ms. Lainas had never coached the team on her own before, she considers their success to be very impres- sive. “What they have accom- plished, they have accom- plished on pure talent,” said Ms. Lainas. Anyone catching the group in action, anyone can tell they are a very close-knit bunch. Shawn ‘Chabaz’ Chahar, Jackie Crandles, James Rivera, Patrick Crandles, Kyle Hamilton, Ingrid Nu- gent, Julie Ross, Jose Silva and team captain Trevor Small make time for each other not only to practice, but to simply hang out as well. “It honestly makes school worth coming to, to have this at the end of the day,” said In- grid, who was going to switch schools, but stayed at St. Mary because of SMIT. With a vigorous practice schedule, including Friday nights leading up to the com- petitions, they do it because they love each other, said Ms. Lainas. “(It) brought school spirit to the school which is really needed right now,” said Shawn. Jose added, “(The Grade 11s) came into the school with nothing (due to the deci- sion by most Durham teach- ers a few years ago to no longer offer extracurricular activities), and this year we are starting to get stuff back.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 13, 2001 PAGE 19 P National judges SMIT-ten with St. Mary students PICKERING –The St. Mary Improv Team (SMIT) is made up of performers Ingrid Nugent, Julie Ross, Trevor Small, Jose Silva, Kyle Hamilton, James Rivera, Shawn Chahar, Patrick Crandles and Jackie Crandles (absent from photo).

PAGE 22 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 13, 2001 The energy was just bouncing off the walls at the Career Info Fair on April 26th! Held at the Ajax Community Centre, over 6,000 members of the general public and area students flooded the 2 pads of the arena. This huge project was funded by Human Resources Development Canada and was produced by the Durham District School Board and Durham Continuing Education. The draw? Spokespersons from healthcare, skilled trades, police and fire services, technology and more all showed up with career specific information, including educational requirements. One definite hit at the fair was the series of interactive skilled trades booths set up by Durham College. Key among these was the interactive welding display where hundreds of students and adults throughout the day donned protective gear, received a few minutes of patient instruction from Tracey Barkley, a first year welding student, and then tried their hand at making the sparks fly. There was also an interactive plumbing display, electrician’s exhibit and the online apprenticeship theory course for the public to try. What was the benefit of the fair? Julian Luke, Program Coordinator says: “We let people know of all the sectors where workers will be retiring en masse within the next ten years. Many right now are screaming for workers, or are predicting dire shortages and plum contracts for those with the foresight to avail themselves of the exceptional opportunities.” Which brings us to our next event! Not satisfied with just providing career help, the Planning Team has organized the Employment Expo so people can meet with over 75 recruiters from key area companies that are looking to hire now. The Employment Expo will be held on Wednesday May 16th at the Metro East Trade Centre from 10 am to 8 pm and will feature such exhibitors as Ontario Power Generation, Durham Regional Police, RCMP, CIBC, Advantage Personnel, Kawartha Healthcare and more. What is so exciting about this event? These companies are hiring now! and are taking advantage of the fair to fill their positions. These include full-time and summer jobs. Recent grads, those wanting a career change or to relocate can meet over 75 recruiters in person, make a good impression, and field offers, if they don’t let someone else beat them to it. The “Today Theatre” will provide brief but vital seminars from top persons in many fields. (Seminars are listed on the website). Also, the latest high-tech assistive devices for persons with disabilities will be a major feature. (Special busing has been arranged for disabled persons by DREN, 905-720-1777). Employers will also want to come out and get in the know. In short, there will be something important for everyone. Don’t miss it. See you there! Employers who want to take advantage of this often untapped labour pool will want to come out and get in the know.

Held last weekend at Toronto’s Etobicoke Centennial Stadium, this year’s event drew more than 90 schools and 1,500 participants from across Ontario. In the senior boys’ division, Dwayne Higgins continued his tune up for the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) championships with an outstanding performance. In the 110-metre hurdles, Higgins sur- passed the meet and Canadian In- terscholastic record with a blister- ing winning time of 13.53 seconds. The absence of a wind gauge de- nied the senior of the national record. Higgins’time ranks him as one of the top high school athletes in the event in the world. Higgins earned his second gold medal of the meet in the 400m in- termediate hurdles. His time of 55.15 ranks him eighth among Canadian and U.S. high school in- termediate hurdlers. Higgins won his third gold medal in the 100m with a time of 10.79 seconds. In the junior division, Cameron Sahadath established a new meet record in the 110m hurdles. His time of 14.01 seconds broke the existing record set by former Pick- ering High School hurdler Dion Trowers in 1995. Sahadath’s clocking was the top Canadian time in his age division. Sahadath also collected gold in the 300m hurdles, gold in the 4-x-100m sprint relay and silver in the 100m. The sprint relay team consisted of Sahadath, Jason Jordan, Akiel John and T.J. Gibbs and won in a time of 43.7 seconds. In the midget division, Tedroy Gomes competed in the 100m hur- dles for the first time this year. His time of 14.67 seconds was good enough to capture the silver medal and record the second-best midget time in the province this year. The midget boys’ 4-x-100m sprint relay team of Gomes, Matthew Lawrence, Cory Seale and Johnny Grosso placed fifth.

Entering into its 17th season, this is the place to learn the game of golf. “We have everything a golfer needs to improve his or her game,” says owner Ken Fulton. And he’s right. The golf centre features a driving range with 80 tees. There’s also a putting green, chipping green and a three hole golf course with bent grass greens and Ohio Sand bunkers. There’s a fully stocked pro shop and lessons are available either one on one or for groups all taught by CPGA professionals including Ken, Bob Kennedy and Doug Kirkpatrick. “Our pro shop will create a cus- tom set of clubs for you,” says Ken. “And our teachers will help take strokes off your game.” OWNER KEN FULTON While at the centre you can grab something to eat at the snack bar, enjoy the new licensed patio or you can play a round of miniature golf. Golf Tip: Ken says the shootout hole will be challenging and requires a lot of concentration. There will be a tight pin position so accuracy will be important. Men use a 7 to 8 iron and ladies a 4 iron to 5 wood. Good Luck.” Third Qualifying Site 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, May 14th Ken Fulton Golf Centre (416) 281-2277 NEW VEHICLE HOTLINE Sales prices are plus freight, PDE, admin. fee and taxes extra.
