Home My WebLink AboutNA2003_06_22Councillors question having energy suppliers pay for study BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––City officials are questioning the fairness of a three-year search for a long-term storage solution to Canada's nu- clear waste, with power genera- tors footing the bill. "How do we ensure the public, because the process is being funding by stakeholders, that it will be a fair process?" Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean asked at Monday night's council session. The question is a fair one being posed by a number of municipal- ities, acknowledged Elizabeth Dowdeswell, president of the Nu- clear Waste Management Organi- zation (NWMO), there to present its annual report. But, in its quest for a storage strategy, the federal government decided against setting up a crown corporation to search for a solution, she told councillors. It instead determined the "waste owners" themselves should pay for and be charged with the task. "It is in the interest of waste owners that it be a fair and open process," she said. "The proof is going to have to be in the pud- ding. You'll have to judge for yourselves as we evolve through the process." Passed in June 2002, the Nu- clear Fuel Waste Act required the creation of the NWMO, a not-for- SERVING PICKERING SINCE 1965 News Advertiser PRESSRUN 45,600 ✦ 24 PAGES ✦ SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 2003 ✦ durhamregion.com ✦ OPTIONAL DELIVERY $6/$1 NEWSSTAND DIAMOND DANDY Irene is celebrating a big birthday Name Dropping, 12 MAKING HIS PITCH Jamey Allen has the right stuff Sports, 15 SAVE TODAY AT Carroll Home Improvements 905-686-2445 Roofing Windows Doors STOPSTOP DON’T THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY www.blaisdale.com12 mths - grade 8 5 Campuses in Durham Call Head Office 905-509-5005 Best Private School Blaisdale MONTESSORI School As voted by Ajax/Pickering Readers’ Choice Awards OPEN HOUSE Rotherglen Campus 403 Kingston Rd.

Youth acquitted in shooting at Pickering High SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– Surrounded by gang members, a "petrified" 16-year-old student feared for his life and was justified when he opened fire with a sawed-off rifle in the lobby of Pickering High School, a judge says. The Ajax youth kept the .22- calibre rifle hidden in his locker as "protection" from a street gang he heard was hunting him down, court was told Friday. "I didn't want to kill anybody. The only thing in my mind was I had to protect myself. I was scared. I felt if they ambushed me and I showed them the gun it would scare them off. I never in- tended to use it," the teen testi- fied. He admitted he did - in self-de- fence - on Jan. 11, 2002 when a dozen alleged "Kingpins" came looking for him at the Church Street school in Ajax. He was between exams during lunch hour when a large group walked into the school cafeteria and circled him, court heard. "Someone pointed me out to them and they surrounded me. They were arguing with me, say- ing I beat up their friend," said the youth, now 18. They began pushing him but "someone yelled 'teacher' and they ran away. "I was so petrified... I ran to my locker and I got my gun," said the youth. Under the Young Offend- ers Act, he cannot be identified. With the cut-down rifle con- cealed in his jacket, he ran out the front doors and was confront- ed by the group again, so he re- treated back inside the school. "They formed a circle and I was in the middle. I knew they were going to do something bad to me. They were going to beat me se- verely or kill me," he told Judge Donald Halikowski. "Let's get him outside," several in the group yelled as two or three assailants began pushing and pulling the teen toward the doors, he testified. ‘I didn’t want to die:’ teen ✦See Board page 4 ✦See Teen page 2 Pickering wants nuclear fairness A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 www.durhamregion.com SPECIALSALE Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

I didn't want to die... I didn't want to shoot anybody. I just thought this would scare them off," he said. "As soon as I pulled the trigger everyone ran and I ran." No one was hit by the round, which lodged in a metal door frame. The youth pleaded guilty to pos- session of a prohibited weapon and not guilty to charges of pointing a firearm and possession of a weapon to commit an indictable offence. After hearing his testimony, Judge Halikowski immediately acquitted the teen of the two counts. The judge accepted the youth's ver- sion, saying the teen was sure to re- ceive a severe beating and out of des- perate necessity acted in self-defence. Prosecutor Alex Hope said the Crown's office is considering an ap- peal. The youth, who was expelled from school, will be sentenced Sept. 2 on the prohibited-weapon charge. During questioning by defence lawyer Reid Rusonic, the youth said his trouble began early in the school year after a female friend complained of being mistreated by her boyfriend. He later confronted the boyfriend, who "got angry" and told him to mind his own business. Afterward, he learned from friends the boyfriend was a member of the Kingpins, the Ajax street gang also known as KP. He said students told him "he's going to come after you" and "to watch your back." Court heard KP members are known for beating and robbing peo- ple. "That's how they get even with peo- ple. They beat them up. It was really severe and you have to go to the hos- pital... They walk around with their pit bulls and rob people and do B and Es (break-and-enters)," the teen tes- tified. Over the next couple of months he was "afraid to walk the streets" and got rides from friends to school. One day in January, after the holi- day break, he found out from other students that Kingpins "were at the school asking about me," he said. "I felt they were trying to get me now for what happened earlier in the year. I was so scared I didn't know what to do," he said. He was afraid telling his parents, school officials or police would make things worse. "I was just hoping if I didn't say anything... they would for- get about it," said the teen, who had no previous criminal record. "People that go to police always get beat up. The gangs will come after them," he said, recalling an incident he heard about in which an Ajax High School student was badly beat- en by the gang after he reported being bullied. He told the court he felt he had only one choice. "I went out and bought a gun," he told court. He said a friend told him about a man known as "Ghost," who sold guns. That week, he met the man in the school parking lot and was given the choice of buying a shotgun or a sawed-off .22-calibre rifle. The man told him the shotgun would cause "major damage." He chose the single-round rifle. Court heard he paid $50 for the gun. "It was loaded when I got it." Prosecutor Hope asked the teen during cross-examination, if he never intended to use the weapon, "Why did you fire?" The youth said he pulled the rifle from his jacket hoping to scare the gang away, but one attacker kept coming. "I just fired when I saw him coming directly at me," he said. ✦ Teen from page 1 Pickering beach is off-limits DDUURRHHAAMM ––––All Durham beaches, ex- cept one, are open for swimming fol- lowing testing by the local health de- partment this past week. Frenchman's Bay East is posted as unsafe for swimming due to high bacteria levels. All other beaches were found to have acceptable bacte- ria levels, including: Frenchman's Bay West, Pickering; Rotary Park and Pickering Beach in Ajax; Whitby Beach East, Whitby; and Lakeview Beach East and West, Oshawa. The Durham Region Health De- partment monitors these beaches weekly throughout the summer. Tests are conducted at the Ontario Ministry of Health laboratory in Pe- terborough. Unexpected results force more delays in return to service BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––The restart of Unit 4 at the Pickering Nuclear Generat- ing Station is now slated for Au- g ust, having been pushed back again by problems firing up the re- actor. Speaking to the Community Ad- visory Council on Tuesday, Ontario Power Generation senior vice-pres- ident Pat McNeil said the latest delay came as more parts have to be replaced. On May 5, one day after getting permission from the Canadian Nu- clear Safety Commission, OPG re- moved Unit 4 from the guaranteed shutdown state (GSS) it had been in since the end of 1997. However, it had to be returned to the GSS May 6. "There were unexpected delays during the first stages of commis- sioning (powering up the reactor), unexpected results during the ini- tial start up," he said. One of the causes was an excess of boron, a chemical that slows neu- trons. "We didn't understand what was occurring, so we shut it down until we understood it," Mr. McNeil noted, adding it took 12 hours to determine the cause. Removing the reactor from GSS and starting to power it up means the unit would be producing one per cent of its maximum amount of power. Some large valves and limit switches also need replacing, he said. "We made the commitment not to bring the units back online unless they're safe. The reality is it costs us money, but the units will be on- line in a safe manner," Mr. McNeil stated. "We could have done the limit switches in two or three months time, but we said no." The company is awaiting a ruling by the CNSC on the relicensing of the reactors. OPG is seeking a five- year operating licence for the 'B' side and two years for the 'A' side. The next step is to get Unit 4 up to one per cent of full power, then moving to five per cent. "When you see us do that, you'll see steam coming out of the plant," Mr. Mc- Neil said. Going to 10 per cent of full power would "synchronize the turbine to the grid and it will produce power." From there, the move to 30 per cent of full power would mean a "boiler chemistry test", followed by the move to 60 per cent of full power and then 100. He predicted by the end of Au- gust, Unit 4 would be at full power. As for the review into the restart delays and massive cost overruns announced recently by the provin- cial government, Mr. McNeil said OPG will help in any way it can. "We're looking forward to provide any support we can," he said. "I gather people will be coming to the plant soon." When asked, Mr. McNeil said po- litical pressure has never been ex- erted on the company to get the units up and running quicker. "I haven't experienced any politi- cal pressure. I don't think anyone has." www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P DRIVER EDUCATION CENTRE CALL TODAY AND REGISTER 905-426-9611 68 HARWOOD AVE. S.

Governed by a six-member board made up of representatives from major owners of Canadian nuclear waste fuel, the NWMO will look at three specific methods over the next three years: storage at existing reac- tor sites, deep geological disposal, and central storage above or below ground, Ms. Dowdeswell said. The same waste owners also fund the NWMO based on the number of fuel bundles produced by each com- pany. Under that arrangement, more than 90 per cent is funded from On- tario Power Generation, she said. Waste owners are also required to contribute to a trust fund to help fi- nance a long-term management strategy once Ottawa makes its deci- sion, and set up an advisory council to comment to the NWMO through- out the process as an arm's-length in- dependent body. Asked how the advisory council was selected, Ms. Dowdeswell said the NWMO used a third-party search firm to find citizens not directly in- volved in the nuclear industry but often engaged in community issues. "So you used a headhunter. That's not too assuring," commented Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Bren- ner. Coun. McLean pointed out David Crombie is chairing the advisory council. "Mr. Crombie is no stranger to Pickering," he added, making refer- ence to the North Pickering Land Ex- change Panel, which was also under the charge of the former Toronto mayor. The NWMO has just begun the process of asking communities how they would like to provide input, said Ms. Dowdeswell. It plans to publish three docu- ments with each soliciting communi- ty consultation. The first will ask an- alytical questions about each storage method, while the second makes as- sessments. The final report will make recommendations on implementa- tion. This isn't about site selection, Ms. Dowdeswell added.

Canada in Vienna to discuss bid BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––After getting the go- ahead from some federal cabinet ministers earlier this month to proceed with ITER international negotiations, Canada's bid team was back at the table yesterday. At negotiations in Vienna, Thursday, the Canadian team of Dr. Murray Stewart, Iter Canada president and Jim Campbell, ne- gotiator for Natural Resources Canada, confirmed this country's intentions to host the Interna- tional Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor (ITER) in Clar- ington. The team presented Canada's anticipated position on the blessing of Ontario's cabinet ministers including Allan Rock. But financing for Canada's share of costs on the $12-billion inter- national project will still need full federal cabinet approval. The Canadian negotiators will need that cabinet commitment by the end of the summer if this country has any hope to be chosen as host of the energy facility. "We need a clear and definitive negotiating position," Dr. Stew- art said Thursday after complet- ing the day's negotiations. "There is still some skepticism if (the Canadian offer) is going to happen. We have to be able to ne- gotiate from a position of strength. Some of our strong friends are wanting our position on the table sooner rather than later." The feds are being asked to commit about $1.15 billion over 30 years, half of Canada's $2.3 billion required commitment to the pro- ject, if the Canadian site is select- ed. The Ontario government has already said it would match the federal amount. In order to be considered for the project, Cana- da must first join the six other countries -- European Union, the United States, Japan, China, the Russian Federation and most re- cently into the partnership, Korea - in order to be considered as a potential host. If Canada was not selected for the site, the non-host cost would be about $1 billion over 30 years. About half of that money would be spent in Canada on development of com- ponents for the project regard- less of where the actual facility is located. France, Spain and Japan have also offered sites for the facility, a $12-billion energy research pro- ject to find a clean, sustainable energy source using fusion. The European Union (EU) is expect- ed to chose between France and Spain before final site negotia- tions this fall and put just one site forward in the final bidding process. "Basically we're going to have to have everything in place paral- lel to the Europeans going down to one site," Dr. Stewart said, noting that decision will likely be made at the EU summit in late September. "There is a very high degree ex- pectation the Canadian offer will come with a reasonable financial package to go with all the other things that make Clarington an ideal site. Without the financial package in place it makes it diffi- cult for them (international part- ners) to get enthused. Not until they can see the whites of our eyes so to speak." www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P Last year, a large school board released an interesting study. It seems that students who attend summer classes not only achieve higher grades but also develop a positive outlook on school. Unfortunately. most parents and many teachers think the opposite is true. Imagine being able to improve motivation by taking summer classes. The reasons why this happens are both simple and complex. Learning consists of a series of purposeful activities: activities we can control and direct. Children must learn that it is possible to control and direct their own learning activities. Parents usually leave this control in the hands of the education system. They feel that it is the schools’ responsibility. They feel that teaching is active while learning is passive. This unfortunate mind set often carries over into the summer and winter holidays. If learning is the direct responsibility of the teacher and the classroom, then a vacation from these permits the student to let go all responsibility for school and relax. No harm done. Unfortunately, the exact opposite is true. By taking the summer off, education suffers and students drift backwards. Students lose much of the academic gains they made during the previous year but, more importantly, they lose their ability and motivation to learn. As they drift, they even lose self-esteem because they have relinquished control and direction and have lost key skills and learning strategies. Remember that school and school-based learning are artif icially constructed ideas. Even with a great teacher and an interesting program, it is hard enough to get kids interested in problem- solving and clear writing. Throw in a wind-down month before summer holidays add two months of mindless holidays and follow this by a ramped-up month (September) and you have an ummotivated and unfocused student. It is no wonder that kids resent returning to school and see it as an intrusion on their lives. However, kids who have attended a properly constructed summer program- like those at OXFORD LEARNING CENTRES - not only keep last year’s skill sharp, they develop new thinking and learning habits. A loss of momentum and motivation does not occur. Yes! Summer allows wonderful new possibilities. It is an opportunity for our children to develop new skills, make new friends and experience new challenges. If parents take care to blend both recreation and academics, summer can be a wonderful growth time for all. Students will be prepared physically, emotionally and academically for a successful, return to school in the fall. It’s not too late to plan for a successful summer now. Oxford Learning Centres are Canada’s leading providers of supplemental and enrichment education services. They will design an individualized learning program for each child to keep them sharp over the summer and get a head start on next year. Help you children enjoy learning this summer and return to school in September with improved skills and greater confidence.

Canadian ITER team back in discussions There are many heroes in our midst Durham Regional Police awards offer us a chance to say thanks I t happens a lot more often than you might think. Ordi- nary, everyday people just minding their own business suddenly turn into heroes in seconds, resulting in a life saved, a crime stopped, a tragedy averted. Ta ke the case of the Oshawa man who chased down a knife-wielding bandit for two blocks, tackled the man and held him on the ground until police could come and make the arrest. Or consider the Port Perry person who, seeing a young girl and a man flailing in freezing water on Lake Scu- gog, saved both despite the risk to his own life. These are just two of the local heroes, unassuming people really, of the 'Aw, shucks, anybody would have done it,' vari- ety. Asked about why they risked their own lives to help complete strangers, some can't provide an answer. Jim Scharf of Oshawa, who chased down the knife-hold- ing thug with assistance from his girlfriend Jennifer Dodd, said, "Even to this day, I still can't explain my actions." Call it the inner human desire to help somebody else in distress. Luckily, there are always people in our midst who will think of their neighbour's welfare before their own. That was the basis for the annual award ceremony held by the Durham Regional Police recently. Some citizens, like Frank Pelligra of Port Perry, saved people from certain death. It was Frank who got the snow- mobiler and his daughter out of the bone-chilling water. Others, like Nevina Crisante, Sandra Cummins, John Musselman, Filomena Reboh and Jeff Wood, did everybody a tremendous service by alerting police to the whereabouts of an escaped accused killer. Still others, like Christian Peterson, Robert Robbins and Jim Washbrook, Sheryl Barrett, and two 16-year-old girls, in four separate incidents told police of suspicious activity by drivers which led to inquiries and/or arrests. Pauline Broome stopped a vicious assault in Oshawa from continuing. Joseph Glover, owner of Lake Vista Plaza IGA, stepped up to help the Christmas food drive when Knob Hill Farms closed down. These brave, community-minded people went way be- yond the call of duty when their fellow citizens really need- ed them. Lives were saved, crimes were prevented, and people in need who otherwise would not have been helped, can thank these special people for being there when it really counted. The police are the front-line servants in our community. But behind our men and women in blue beat the hearts of those who can be counted on when the chips are down. To all our winners we say thank-you. Gay marriage simply history repeating itself TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'MPs should uphold marriage defi- nition,' letter to the editor, June 19. Allow me to offer my congratulations to Beth Navarro for sticking to her morals on the issue of gay marriages and truly upholding my belief that his- tory repeats itself. It was not so long ago in the United States when there were unequal rights and discrepancies based on what Beth calls 'moral views'. This was called racism and at the time was actually, if not very ambiguously, written into var- ious government treaties. To hear complaints about the up- holding of tradition and the sanctity of this or that is not new. I am not at all surprised by Beth's views, but of course I feel I should offer my own in- sight; to allow my own 'moral view' to come forth in this time of conflict. I believe firmly same-sex couples should have the right to marry. I al- ways have. To argue against this act of progress just because you are straight or traditional, is 100-per-cent compa- rable to arguing against the freedom for African, Native or Mexican people in America simply because you are white. I think it is time for people like Beth to realize we are bearing witness to one of the final frontiers of legislative discrimination in North America. If anyone feels radically opposed to this view, perhaps you should consult your history books as well as your 'moral views' before you expound them, be- cause then you might not look so im- moral 20 years down the road.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 www.durhamregion.com War about settling score with Saddam So, Mr. Bush, just where are all those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq you warned us about? If these were normal times, the president of the United States would have some explaining to do. But, Americans, so happy at the relatively quick and painless subjugation of Iraq, don't really care much about those WMDs. Congressional hearings to look into whether the American people were misled about the Iraq inva- sion may well bear little fruit and could even backfire on Democrats eager to capitalize on the exag- gerated claims of Mr. Bush and his cronies. Fo r, in the United States these days, might obviously means right. The Iraq attack, the tours of Saddam Hussein's palaces and the toppling of his statues, and the ability to get the madman of the Middle East on the run, all served as a form of payback for 9- 11. Even New York Governor George Pataki, in some reports, is keen to take one of Saddam's statues and stick it in the court- yard of the rebuilt World Trade Center site. Never mind that there has never been any connec- tion drawn between Saddam and Sept. 11. In the minds of Americans bent on revenge against Arabs for the attack on New York City, the stat- ue would be thoroughly appropri- ate. No, it's clear Iraq posed no threat to the United States or to its neighbours. This was about finishing off Daddy's business for the president and about settling old scores for many members of his cabinet. It does raise several key ques- tions however: Where do those who did not support the invasion of Iraq go in future? Is there any significant role left for the United Nations? As the most powerful nation on Earth will the United States try to make peace or make war? Canada was so clearly on the right side on this issue it hardly bears debate. Just because the U.S. decides to decimate a coun- try, doesn't mean we should go along for the ride. The whole situation is rife with irony. After all, where were the Americans in 1914 and 1939 when Canada came to Europe's rescue during the First and Second World wars? Answer: The U.S. sat on the iso- lationist sidelines for more than two full years in each case and only joined the war once it be- came absolutely necessary. Students of history know the United States is in no position to point fingers at Canada when it comes to loyalty. When next Iraq happens whose side will we be on?

SARS free All Durham hospitals now cleared BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Durham's hospitals are SARS free. Tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on a patient who died in Lakeridge Health Oshawa earlier this week came back negative Wednesday. And that's just part of the good news for Durham health- care workers and their families. The final cases linked to a cluster of 15 ill- nesses at Lakeridge Health Whitby's long-term care and dialysis units were cleared of SARS Thursday. "This is extremely good news for the health department and for resi- dents of Durham Region," said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham's associ- ate medical officer of health. "We've been able to rule out the SARS virus in all facilities (related to the Lak- eridge Health Whitby investigation) and those individuals who were af- fected as a result of association with these locations are no longer re- quired to be on quarantine." Coinci- dentally, most quarantines related to that cluster were scheduled to end Thursday, the 10th day since the final exposure date. There are three probable cases re- maining in the region, says Glendene Collins, spokesman for the Durham Region Health Department. Howev- er, she adds, all three cases are linked to North York General Hospi- tal, their condition is improving and none of them require hospitalization. They are at home in quarantine and any potential contacts with the pa- tients have been contacted. Health department staff are still investigat- ing nine other individuals and 412 re- main in quarantine. Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering had no suspect- ed, probable or cases under investi- gation as of Thursday. On Wednesday, the provincial gov- ernment announced $10 million to create an infectious disease network to help combat SARS and West Nile virus. A liaison officer from the World Health Organization (WHO) will be arriving this week in Toronto to as- sist the Province and public health officials dealing with SARS, says Emmanuel Chabot, Health Canada spokesman. The officer will be exam- ining how SARS has been handled in Ontario though Mr. Chabot said Health Canada does not know whether WHO will look specifically at how the disease was managed within Durham.

Approximately three months ago I ran up a flight of stairs barefooted to answer the phone. I was about halfway up when I lost my footing, slipped and my big toe hit the rise of the step. The pain wasn’t bad at the time so I really didn’t think anything of it. I am now however, finding that I cannot move my injured big toe up or down, as much as my other big toe. With everyday activities it only hurts a little but when I wear a 2 inch heel or when I exercise the pain is much , much worse. What have I done and can I treat or reverse it? It sound as if your injury is a condition known as hallux limitus, which is a limited range of motion of the big toe where it attaches to the metatarsal bone. The amount of pain associated with this deformity can range from no pain to such severe pain that it is disabling. The normal range of motion of the big toe is approximately 70 degrees because this is the amount of angulation needed to propel the foot as it toes-off to take the next step. With less than 70 degrees a structural (as yours is) or functional (tight tendons on weight bearing) hallux limitus exists. The amount of space between the two bones that make up the big toe joint narrows causing a jamming of the big toe. This causes pain on the top of the joint due to inflammation created by excessive bone against bone compression forces. It is aggravated with the toe-off stage of each and every step. The analogous situation might be with a door having difficulty opening as it abutts against the door jam. Pain and inflammation increases with the exertion as you tend to have greater forces against the joint. The samec an be said about wearing higher heeled shoes. You put more weight and pressure on the front part of the foot. Aside from the type of injury you have described, excessive pronation can lead to hallux limitus, as can an exceptionally long metatarsal bone. Both of these factors put greater amounts of force on the first metatarsal-phalangeal joint ( the big toe joint). As far as treatment goes, nothing can be done to reverse the damage you have done to the joint. The best treatment involves a gait adjusting orthotic that will try to balance the forefoot and decrease pressure on the joint by minimizing pronation. An extension should be used on the orthotic with a cut out for the big toe joint, thereby allowing it to “float”. This will decrease the ground forces on the joint. The orthotic should be stiff. Untreated, the patient may experience pain in the middle of the foot, the ankle and even in the leg, as the other parts of the extremity try to make up for the less than 70 degrees of angulation. The best lesson to be learned here is that it is so very important to always wear something on your feet at all times. One missed step that could have been so easily prevented by wearing shoes or slippers can leave you with a chronic nagging injury.

Sobeys Inc. has applied to the City to open a 48,400-square-foot grocery store in early September as part of the redevelopment currently under way at the Brock and Kingston roads site. "Typically, our stores hire upwards of 150 people with a 70-30 full- and part-time split," said Sobeys spokesman Kelly Norgate. "It will be a good size, but it's still too early to tell what all the ameni- ties will be." Sobeys would join 25 tenants at the 48-acre First Professional Shop- ping Centre, including one of the first Sam's Club warehouse stores to open in the Greater Toronto Area when it does so this fall. Bonnie Togs, Danier Leather, Everything For a Dollar, Joggers/Adi- das, Mark's Work Wearhouse, Reit- mans, Thyme Maternity, Town Shoes, SM2, McDonald's, First Choice Haircutters and an LCBO store are among the other stores. First Pro hopes to have the centre fully open by the end of the year, said its director of land planning Ornella Richichi, who is handling Sobeys site plan approvals with the City. Those approvals should be complete by the end of the month. "The site when it was the Metro East Trade Centre (METC) was somewhat underutilized given the land size," said Pickering's economic development officer Ron Taylor. The new buildings will have a com- bined gross floor area of 531,000 square feet, almost double the trade centre's 292,000 square feet, he said. "And it will be used throughout the week instead of just on weekends," he said, referring to the flea market, which used to be open Saturdays and Sundays only at the METC. The redevelopment, along with the neighbouring Home and Leisure Centre and Canadian Tire and Wal- Mart stores, helps consolidate the area as a "regional shopping destina- tion", ideally located just north of Hwy. 401, Mr. Taylor said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 PAGE 11 P Adverstisement For most of us, losing weight is a relentless battle. Despite our sincerest, conscious efforts to stick to a diet, our subconscious acts like the bad guy seducing us into eating half a chocolate cake. But with hypnosis, the struggle can be resolved – and we can begin to see results. “We help clients think and eat like a slim person by programming their subconscious mind,” says Rudy Fedorowich director of Positive Changes Hypnosis. “They lose weight and keep it off long-term because they’ve changed their whole relationship with food, mentally as well as physically.” Rudy says hypnosis is like “being hyper-aware or extremely focused” and is often referred to as “creative visualization.” “With hypnosis, we increase the ability to absorb suggestion,” he says. Ineffective, destructive behavior is replaced effortlessly by healthier behavior and people start to lose weight, stop smoking or reduce stress – and finally see the resolution of life-long battles. Debunking Old Myths Yet many people today are still scared off by the old, witchcraft-like images of hypnosis depicted in dated movies. “People confuse suggestibility with gullibility,” says Rudy. The biggest misconception about hypnosis is that some people believe they can be made to do something against their will or that they can be brainwashed. But the truth is, he says, “We can’t get people to do anything they don’t want to. People think that to be hypnotized is to be put into a coma-like state – but that’s also not true. They can hear everything that is being said and they always maintain total control at all times.” Despite the myths, hypnotherapy is becoming increasingly popular and some of the most well-respected hospitals have incorporated hypnosis into their treatments. Quit Smoking Many of the clients at Positive Changes want to stop smoking and are amazed to learn that even someone who has smoked for decades can quit, because hypnosis reduces the cravings and the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. And most can quit without gaining 30 pounds of replacing smoking with other bad habits like chain- sucking lollipops or obsessively chewing gum. Reduce Stress People also seek out hypnosis to reduce stress and tension in their lives. With hypnosis, Rudy says, a client experiences immediate relief and then learns self-hypnosis techniques to release stress and tension continually so it will not build up and become destructive. “Stress does a tremendous amount of damage to the body and being able to effectively deal with it, we increase the quality of life for our clients,” he says. Getting the Life You Want From helping corporations work with employees to reprogram their subconscious minds so they say can achieve their goals and enjoy greater success to working one-on- one with people who are motivated to change their lives but need help to do it, Positive Changes Hypnosis is filling an untapped need as a resource for resolving problems permanently. Profiled on ABC, CBS and NBC news programs as well as the Discovery Channel, Positive Changes Hypnosis continues to focus on new ways to help clients attain the life they want. “So much of what dominates our daily life are habits that have unintentionally become part of our automatic pilot, such as cleaning our plates even when we’re full. The key to having the kind of life you want.

Plenty, or at least there should be when designating new streets in Pickering, say City officials. Council decided Monday night to move forward with a plan to name new streets after veterans of past wars, along with any other individu- als of significance to local history. Staff has been directed to solicit the City's two branches of the Royal Canadian Legion for a list of local vets, as well as come back with op- tions for naming streets after other notable past residents. Naming streets after veterans is meant to be "a lasting tribute" to their sacrifice and service, said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson while introducing his motion. "Other municipalities have done it," he said, pointing to Whitby and Clarington. "And it's something I toy with every time we come up with a street name like 'Kodiak'." "I think this is a resolution that is well overdue." Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland agreed street names should have meaning. "I think it's important and it says something about a com- munity," he said. While a large proportion of new streets should be named for vets, the City should leave room for others to be recognized too, Coun. Holland suggested. "If we say every single street, I think that's maybe too encompass- ing," he added. Wa rd 3 Councillor David Pickles said he felt Coun. Johnson's idea was a "fitting tribute" and not meant to be exclusive. "I live on a street named after a 'Lord of the Rings' character," he laughed.

Love Mummy.” But airport move defeated BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––A local councillor is worried ap- proval of airport zoning reg ulations may be con- fused with City support for a future airport in north Pickering. Council needs to "make it perfectly clear", while it supports in principle the new zoning regulations, it does not approve of an airport, Ward 3 City Coun- cillor David Pickles said at a council meeting Monday night. He tried to push for an amendment, making ref- erence to an earlier Pick- ering resolution advising Durham Region it did not support the development of a future airport. But it was voted down 5-2. Wa rd 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Holland said it was his recollection Pick- ering's earlier motion in- volved an international airport, not a regional air- port as now being investi- gated by the Greater To ronto Airports Authori- ty. A regional airport is recognized in the City's Official Plan so the amendment "could be somewhat contradictory", he added. Wa rd 3 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson was the only other supporter to Coun. Pickles' amend- ment, adding he was op- posed to the airport zon- ing regulations them- selves. "I have difficulty with how the federal govern- ment will handle an air- port," he said. "There's been no real opportunity for dialogue." Council, however, ap- proved of the airport zon- ing regulations (AZR) by a vote of 5-2, but with the proviso Transport Cana- da defer moving ahead in the process to allow cer- tain implementation con- cerns to be addressed. Expected to be ap- proved by the Privy Coun- cil later this year, the AZR protect surrounding lands to ensure uses are com- patible and don't interfere with the safe operation of an airport, should the fed- eral government decide to build one in north Picker- ing. They impact federal lands in Pickering, Markham and Uxbridge, from Hwy. 404 in Markham to the eastern edge of Whitby, and from north of Ballantrae, Goodwood and Coppins Corners in Whitchurch- Stouffville and Uxbridge to south of Hwy. 401 in Pickering and Ajax. Regulatory controls in- clude restrictions on the height of buildings, struc- tures, objects and natural growth; and land uses and activities causing elec- tronic interference and bird hazards. All landowners and ten- ants within that regulated area must comply with the AZR, although uses in existence prior to the reg- ulation coming into force will be grandfathered. The only positive aspect to the AZR is the position against landfills being lo- cated around an airport because they create a bird hazard, said Coun. John- son. But Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Bren- ner pointed out the City isn't giving blanket ap- proval to the AZR but is requesting a deferral based on a staff recom- mendation. "We think some work needs to be done to clarify the mitigating factors, which would allow such uses as municipal parks and storm water manage- ment ponds in the bird hazard zones," explained Tom Melymuk, Picker- ing's corporate projects and policy division head. "That could take months." However, Coun. John- son still felt the City would be sending a stronger message by in- cluding Coun. Pickles' mo- tion. "Unless we come out op- posed, it still looks as if we're working with them," he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 PAGE 13 P Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

When the Dunbarton High School Grade 12 business organizational studies students received their final project, Julia Herdman, Hilary Pea- cock and Nicole Morrison rose to the challenge. On June 10, from 8:45 to 10 a.m. the girls presented a 'healthy eating breakfast event' for Grade 4 to 6 stu- dents at Fairport Beach Public School. Each student was provided with an example of a good breakfast and listened to and discussed the importance of nutrition. "This event is a joint effort be- tween secondary students and ele- mentary pupils, in a very positive role-model situation," said Liana Lafranier, principal at Fairport Beach. The students relied on a number of donations for their presentation.

He was on the mound for the Trojans’ quarter-final win over the St. Clair Colts from Sarnia. Currently, the 18-year-old right-hander is on a 26- day tour of the U.S. with the Ontario Blue Jays. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Jamey Allen pitches his way onto Ontario squad BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor AAJJAAXX ---- The baseball season just keeps getting better for an Ajax pitch- er. Fresh off helping Pickering High School capture the Prentice Cup, em- blematic of high school baseball su- premacy in Ontario, 18-year-old right- hander Jamey Allen is ready for more diamond challenges. He left Thursday with the Ontario Blue Jays under-19 elite baseball team for a 26-day tour of the U.S. where they will play against high-calibre competition in four states. The tour starts in Dayton, Ohio and continues on to Oklahoma, Memphis, Ten- nessee and Atlanta, Georgia before returning home July 14. For Allen, the chance to play against the best teenaged competi- tion in North America represents his biggest challenge in baseball yet. "I think it's a great opportunity. I haven't played baseball at this level before, but I think I can go out there and play great," said Allen, who'll re- turn to Pickering High in the fall. Allen was a last-minute addition to the Blue Jays and didn't get so much as the benefit of one practice prior to striking off on the U.S. tour. His ascension to the elite team was a direct consequence of his stellar pitching performance as the ace of the Pickering High Trojans staff. He delivered a gem of a mound perfor- mance in the Prentice Cup quarter-fi- nals. "The head coach (of the Ontario Blue Jays) saw the game and asked me to pitch with them. I knew I had pitched a great game, so I knew that something could happen," said Allen. In the Trojans' 3-1 quarter-final vic- tory over the St. Clair Colts from Sar- nia, Allen was simply dominating. Played at Toronto's SkyDome, Allen hurled a complete-game, seven-in- ning victory, racking up 12 strikeouts, while allowing only two hits and one walk. Although having little preparation with the Blue Jays, Allen said he'll be completely at home with the squad, owing to the fact he knows many of the players. Most importantly, he'll have his favourite catcher, Kevin Brown, behind the plate. Allen and Brown formed the battery for the Trojans. "I grew up with him and we work great together," said Allen. "I love pitching to him. We're always on the same page and he's the best catcher I've ever had." He knows several other players on the Blue Jays, including Ajax's Jason Wiles, another catcher, and pitcher Brett Bachman and catcher Jordan Ripko, both of Whitby. The dream season for the Trojans, he said, almost didn't happen as coach Marc Picard had threatened to pull the plug on the team due to spot- ty attendance at practices. The play- ers, however, rallied behind their coach and gave a commitment to keep the team on the field. And, commit they did. Although finishing second in the Lake Ontario He’s got the right stuff ✦ Please see Allen, 16 A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 22, 2003 www.durhamregion.com WHITBY • OSHAWA RULES QUALIFYING SITE PRIZES • Hole in One wins a Buick Golf Bag courtesy of Cliff Mills Motors. • 1st, 2nd & 3rd wins...

"We had a great team and a great coach. We put our heads together and played the way we believed we could play," said Allen, who chalked up a 9-2 record on the mound. After losing the LOSSA title, the Trojans got a measure of revenge by beating the Hawks in the Prentice Cup final at SkyDome. In the end, the Trojans' potent offence played bombs away with the Hawks en route to a de- cisive 11-5 victory. In the final, Allen helped offensively with a triple and four RBIs. "We wanted a shot at redemption," said Allen, named as the Toronto Star's high school pitcher of the year after the final. "We loved the chance to meet (Henry Street) in the final. We knew we were the better team. We just had to come out strong and show it." The Trojans shocked the St. Michael's Kerry Blues of Toronto in the semifinal 12-3. Following a summer with the Blue Jays, Allen hopes to earn his way back with the Blue Jays for their fall pro- gram. Then, he has his eyes set on the U.S. "I want to finish high school and work to get a scholarship for next year. I want to see where (baseball) takes me," he said. ✦ Allen from page 15 Attack serves up volleyball camp in July AAJJAAXX ––––The Durham Attack Girls' Volleyball Camp will run during the weeks of July 21-25 and July 28-Aug. 5 at J.
