Leah Casselman, president of the Ontario Public Service Em- ployees’ Union, in a Thursday press release said “dysfunctional management” was the underly- ing cause of the three-week-old strike by OPSEU workers at the high-security facility, operated by Kennedy House Youth Services. She urged Brenda Elliott, minis- ter of community, family and chil- dren’s services, to take control of the 24-bed, Church Street facility, describing “a dangerous, chaotic crisis in management and gover- nance.” Thirty-five front-line workers, members of OPSEU Local 361, are seeking higher wages, im- proved benefits and citing a high staff turnover rate. As a result of the strike, all 20 youths were moved to other facilities last month and the facility was closed. Ms. Elliott was unavail- able Thursday. However Jennifer Gilbank, her acting press secre- tary, said the ministry disagrees with OPSEU’s assessment that a death at Rotherglen is a given unless the Province steps in. “If we thought it was that seri- ous, we would not have children in their care,” she said in an in- ter view. Ms. Casselman in the release cited a ministry operational re- view of the facility that she claims reveals an organization that has no strategic plan, is without a system for keeping track of capi- tal assets and has “little pro- gramming expertise.” Ed Blazo, executive director of Kennedy House, in an interview dismissed the criticism. “We’ve been in business 30-odd years and of course we have dealt with these kinds of programs be- fore and we will in the future,” he said. Strikers claim safety fears Striking corrections workers from Rotherglen youth detention centre held a protest outside Pickering, Ajax, Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker’s office Friday. OPSEU president Leah Casselman, who represents the striking unionized workers, wants the Province to take over the facility. Representatives from Kennedy House Youth Services, who operate Rotherglen, dismissed union claims that they can’t properly manage the centre.

City officials and housing developers officially broke ground Thursday on the Great Lakes Nautical Vil- lage, a multi-year project that will see townhouses lin- ing Liverpool Road South with the ground floors of several units able to be con- verted to commercial use. The project also ties in a redevelopment of East Shore Marina and a number of City waterfront initiatives. “This would not happen without our private sector partners,” Mayor Wayne Arthurs told the crowd. “It’s been a long process, at times I would think, torturous.” After a two and a half-year design review, Pickering came up with the nautical theme for the pedestrian friendly area it envisioned, complete with unique street lighting, signs and benches. But last summer the area became the subject of an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing when coun- cil and landowner Pickering Harbour Company (PHC) clashed over the number of townhouses to be built on the west side of Liverpool Road. The City wanted only 26 town homes to be built fronting Liverpool, with each having the capability to convert to commercial on the ground floor. But the OMB ruled in favour of the PHC, allowing 66 town homes to be built at the north end of the marina property, with only eight having a commercial ground floor. Developer Craig Mar- shall, of Marshall Homes, said Thursday it took some convincing by City planners for him to allow even that many town homes to have commercial ground floors. “We’ve sold six of the eight commercial units and I’m talking to the City about adding more,” he said. “No, I wouldn’t say I expected this.” Twenty-four of the 44 homes in Phase 1 of the con- struction have been sold, with the first homes expect- ed to be ready in January. Across the street on the east side of Liverpool Road, Glenbrook Homes president Joe Winters said his first five town homes sold so far should be up completely in September. All of the 17 town homes slated for the east side of Liverpool Road are being built with conversion factors for commercial on the ground floor, such as proper floor loadings and se- curity and fire alarm require- ments. A sign near the building lists a hair salon as one of its first tenants. “Once people get the idea of what we’re doing, it should be self-selling,” he said. That more commercial ground floor units may be added along Liverpool Road is “great news”, said Region- al Councillor Mark Holland, chairman of the Waterfront Coordinating Committee. “We’ve talked all along about the need to keep the waterfront public,” he ex- plained, adding his commit- tee feared with the private sector being involved, Pick- ering’s waterfront would be- come strictly residential and attract less people. The City plans to look this summer at connecting the east and west spit with a walkway and a pontoon boat service, Coun. Holland said. The walkway alone is expected to cost $1.3 million. Construction on Progress Frenchman’s Bay East Park should begin in the next coming weeks, he said. It will come complete with a large gazebo for summer performances and a small craft launch area. At East Shore Marina, there are plans to open up the property to public access while respecting the privacy of boaters, said PHC president Harold Hough. A new launch ramp and shoreline treatment will be constructed this year, with construction on a 2,500 square- foot clubhouse and kiosk area to begin this fall. One of the few areas where people can live year-round on a boat, East Shore Marina is currently not taking any new live-aboards, he said. And those who don’t keep their boats in good condition are being asked to leave. The official groundbreaking for the Great Lakes Nautical Village was held Thursday just off Liverpool Road South. From left, Craig Marshall, owner of Marshall Homes, Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs Joe Winters, President of Glenbrook Homes and Harold Hough, President of Pickering Harbour Company took part in the official ceremony.

Whether the grades are high or low, parents can plan now to help their kids get off to a great start in September. “The summer is an excellent time to examine the previous school year for areas where your child can improve,” says Tom Hawks, owner of the Oxford Learning Centre in Pickering, Canada’s leading provider of supplemental learning programs. “If your child did poorly in a particular subject, you can get them up to speed during the summer. If they weren’t challenged in a particular area, you can develop independent study activities. A good supplemental education program can help your child catch up or reach ahead this summer. Improving a child’s academic performance can be a daunting task for many parents, admits Peter Gamlin, Ph.D., chair of the Academic Board of Oxford Learning Centres. Drawing on his extensive educational experience as a psychologist and full professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Applied Psychology and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Gamlin offers three simple steps for getting children ready for the new school year this summer. 1. Get your child assessed. Unless parents have an educational background, it’s diff icult to translate grades into capability. That’s where a professional academic assessment can help. Look for an assessment test that pinpoints learning strengths and weaknesses while identifying gaps in reading, math, writing and study skills. That puts a positive spin on assessment and any subsequent work that is recommended. 2. Develop a summer learning program. Studies show that children lose approximately 40 per cent of their learning momentum during the summer. Parents can keep the momentum going by reviewing the previous year’s lessons and getting a head start on upcoming subjects. For example, give a lesson about space travel by visiting an aviation museum or solicit your kids’ help in cutting and counting summer fruits and vegetables. You can also incorporate journal writing into your children’s day by asking them to write about their day’s activities, as well as their thoughts and feelings. This is an excellent way to teach them how to organize their thoughts. You can even teach them organizational skills by showing them how to keep a calendar of their many activities. Remember to set both short - and long-term goals as part of your summer learning program. Writing a page each day in a journal and doing a 20-minute math lesson three times per week are realistic goals. 3. Supplement your child’s education. The brain is like an athlete’s body: it needs to train year-round. Today, the average child is educated in crowded classrooms with insufficient resources. That means the average education is severely def icient - and unlikely to prepare students adequately for college or university. Just as parents nurture their children’s musical or artistic talents with private lessons, so too can they help them improve their academic performance through supplemental education. Call Oxford today in Pickering/Ajax at (905) 420- 3141 to find out how they can help your child get caught up or reach ahead this summer.

The ministry review “has some very good points” in it and others Kennedy House disagrees with, he said. He responded, “totally incorrect” to OPSEU claims that new workers are not trained for several months in the proper use of restraints and the distribution of medication. The ministry has concerns over the facility and is “working with Kennedy House Youth Services to try and address them,” as is com- mon practice, said Ms. Gilbank. “Whenever we have any opera- tional review with any agency, we go over it with them,” she said. The ministry is keeping its hands off the current strike situation. “From our perspective, there’s an ongoing labour dispute and we don’t want to get involved in that,” said Ms. Gilbank. Mr. Blazo said no negotiation meetings are taking place or planned, urging OPSEU to return to the bargaining table. “We put (a) 14 per cent (salary raise over three years) on the table and they refused it. We increased the Ontario Dental Association rate and they refused it,” he said, adding it’s difficult to say what em- ployees are seeking. The organization is “open to ne- gotiating at any time,” said Mr. Blazo. The operational review can only be accessed through a Freedom of Information request. Ian Johnson, the OPSEU workers union representative, said the re- view spells out in black and white that residents and staff face poten- tial harm because of a lack of train- ing. As for the employer’s salary offer, he said, “it’s a little bit over-exaggerated.” Mr. Johnson said employees are on a salary grid and would not see the 14 per cent increase for seven years. However many employees leave the facility soon after starting for better opportunities elsewhere, where they can make a $36,000- $40,000 salary in two years. Mr. Johnson said workers would have grudgingly accepted the contract offer, and a strike would have been avoided, if the employer had agreed to drop the term from a five to a four-year deal. He said that offer still stands. “It only takes one phone call from (Mr. Blazo) to end this thing,” said Mr. Johnson. Striking workers picketed in front of local MPP Janet Ecker’s office on Friday. “Any allegation of unsafe con- ditions is serious,” she said in an interview. Ms. Ecker said OPSEU mem- bers have relayed some concerns to her and she has passed them on to Ms. Elliott’s office. She un- derstands the recommendations that came out of the review are being acted upon.

A smog advisory was issued Wednesday for Durham Region. Relief was possible by some time this afternoon, “dependent upon when a weather sys- tem comes in,” possibly bringing rain and somewhat cooler temperatures, says ministry spokesman John Steele. By 11 a.m. Thursday, smog levels for Durham had reached 56, or poor, on the ministry’s Air Quality Index. Durham’s air quality is monitored constantly from a station at Ritson Road Public School in Oshawa. Durham remains under smog advisory This week’s smog made not only breathing difficult but limited visibility as well. Along the Pickering beach front it was hard to make out the nearby Pickering Nuclear Gen- erating Station and the giant wind turbine. Man killed in car crash DDUURRHHAAMM — A 60-year-old Whit- by man was killed Tuesday in a two-vehicle collision at the inter- section of Lakeridge and Taunton roads. Dead is Ivor Faithfull of Draper Court. Mr. Faithfull was the passenger in a northbound Pontiac Grand Prix turning onto Taunton Road when it collided with a southbound Mercury vehicle at about 3:30 p.m., police say. Mr. Faithfull and his wife, Mari- an, were taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital by am- bulance. She was released with minor injuries. The driver of the southbound car, a 20-year-old Whitby man, was released at the scene with no in- juries. Married 32 years, Mr. Faith- full was born in northern Ireland and “was definitely a family man”, said his son, Ryan, 29. Also surviv- ing Mr. Faithfull is his daughter, Madja, 27. “He was an easy-going guy, laid- back but hardworking... He was a golf fanatic,” added Ryan. Following the accident, the inter- section was closed for several hours while police investigated. Weather and alcohol were not fac- tors, police say. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Con- stable Brendan Kennaley of the traffic services branch’s collision investigation unit at 905-579-1520 ext. 5256.

Just as we pulled out of the GO Station on Bayly Street, the bus broke down. There is one particular driver who really needs recognition. Jerry took everyone on his bus to the Ajax GO train to meet the Ajax buses and told the Ajax drivers he had transfers. Everyone got on the right bus except for one person, who Jerry di- rected to the right one. Hats off to Jerry. Another passenger told me about a time Jerry has even taken seniors to the bus they have to catch because they were not sure which one to take. I am sure there are other drivers with Ajax and Pickering Transit Authority that do the same. I was having a really bad day and Jerry made it a lot nicer. Keep up the good work!

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, JULY 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Five minutes of hell when toddler goes missing For one terrible minute I was plagued with the thought my son had been taken from me. Taken. I couldn't see him anywhere. There were children running all around the park, but nowhere could I see my three-year-old boy. It was the longest five minutes of my life, and that terrifying minute I began to start thinking the worst was a moment likely to always send a shiver through me. Think what you will of me as you read this. Many people might think I was negligent taking my eyes off my son for even a split second. But, those people likely forget what it's like watching a young child among a pack of others in a crowded park. I learned a life-altering lesson that day. I didn't get the names of all the people who helped me, but I know I'm a big fan forever of Stouf- fville Peewee baseball. Parents of some of the players were nearby when my frantic search began and they and several others joined me, having recognized the panic in my eyes. It was panic I was holding tightly in my heart, but that I could- n't disguise from fellow parents. I do remember one name, Sue, who introduced herself and offered to stay with my teary-eyed daugh- ter,. Coming back from one end of the park I heard the most relieving words I have ever heard in my life. "Someone found him!" So off I ran, not completely con- vinced yet, waiting to see his beauti- ful face before believing he was com- ing back to me. There he was walk- ing hand-in-hand with a man and his family, looking perfectly fine. After the reunion, the relief, and desperately holding onto my tears, I began coaxing him for the reason for his disappearance. Confused and a little scared, he wasn't crying as I expected. He simply said he was getting ice cream. In a world where it's easy to look away and steer clear of trouble, these people in the park opened up their hearts to me. Unfortunately, I barely looked at the man who returned my son to me. He didn't wait for thanks or look for recognition. I wish I could say it face-to-face, but let me here offer a very special thank-you. Oh thank God my child is safe! EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE MCINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Letters to the Editor DDaavvee SStteellll NN ee ww ss ee dd ii tt oo rr Effor ts on child poverty pathetic Steady rise in poor for Durham shows investment needed The only thing you can say with certainty about child pover- ty is since Parliament vowed to eradicate it in 1989 by the year 2000, the problem has gotten worse. Much worse. The latest poverty statistics show a grim increase of 26.9 per cent in Durham Region between 1995-2000. This poverty trend oc- curred despite otherwise excellent economic indicators since the recession of the early 1990s: a boom which saw unemployment drop, tax cuts implemented and hundreds of thousands of new jobs created in the province. While the middle and upper classes did well in the late 1990s, those in poverty saw their ranks swell. While Ontario had a child poverty rate of 11.4 per cent in 1989, that figure had jumped to 14.4 per cent by 2000. Governments, since the mid-1990s, have trained their sights on deficit elimination and a raft of tax cuts that have mostly benefited middle- and high-income earners and corpora- tions. Positive results have accrued across a wide spectrum, but those in poverty have largely been ignored. An assault on poverty requires positive action and government spending. It needs champions on Parliament Hill and at Queen's Park. Successive federal Liberal and provincial Tory majority gov- ernments have shown no real appetite to deal with poverty. Dur- ing election campaigns it has been a non-issue, because while the ranks of the poor are growing, those in poverty still make up a mi- nority and don't make a difference at the ballot box. While elimination of child poverty, a noble goal, is not going to happen anytime soon, the dream of reducing poverty is possible. It will take political will and it requires all governments to sub- scribe to the following formula: • Increase Ontario's minimum wage, which has been stuck at $6.85 per hour since 1996. Over those seven years, inflation has risen 15 per cent. A fair minimum wage would be $8 per hour and would be adjusted annually. • Devote resources at all levels of government to the construc- tion of affordable housing. • Provide tied-to-income child care so poor parents can work. • Make post-secondary education accessible and affordable and step up training programs. • Continue to take low-income earners off the federal and provincial tax rolls. Such moves will take political courage, not to mention a signif- icant increase in spending. But that's the price which must be paid if we truly want to cut poverty and allow the true victims, poor children, a chance at a real future. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 6, 2003 PAGE 7 A/P WHITBY • OSHAWA Total of 18 prizes worth over $5,000 including the Grand Prize of a $2,000 Golf Package 5th Annual CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZES PROCEEDS DONATED TO THE DENISE HOUSE DURHAM REGION MEDIA GROUP WINCHESTER GOLF CLUB Winchester Rd., Oshawa (905)655-4757 GREEN FEES: Weekdays $26 (3pm-$18, 6pm-$13) Weekends $32 (2pm-$28, 4pm-$18) WINCHESTER GOLF CLUB • 2003 Tournament Dates Available • Fully stocked proshop • Summer long Junior League For Non Members!

CCLLAARRIINNGGTTOONN - It’s a good thing it was a street sign that was stolen, and not Dr. Evil’s sidekick, Mini- Me, or Austin Powers’s mojo. But whether or not Mike Myers was as upset about losing the Scar- borough street sign named in his honour remains uncertain. The street sign - named after the legendary Canadian comedian - was recovered in Durham Region Wednesday. Since its dedication, the sign has become the stuff of leg- ends, like the globetrotting garden gnome or the ‘Is your fridge run- ning?’ phone prank. The sign has achieved near cult status in the GTA since its disap- pearance just over a week ago from the new subdivision near Kennedy Road and Lawrence Avenue. And now, its discovery has added to the legend. “It was found in (a man’s) win- dow at Taunton and Trulls roads,” says Sergeant Paul Malik of the Durham Regional Police. The blue sign with white writing was spotted in a window of a home by a woman driving in her car, he adds. Knowing the sign was miss- ing in action, she notified police. Charged with possession of stolen property under $5,000 is 25- year-old Patrick Andrew McCorma- ck of Taunton Road East, Claring- ton. He’ll appear in court July 28. The sign will be returned to the subdivision in a couple of weeks, after it is marked for evidence. No reports suggest it will travel Europe or Asia to get its picture taken with celebrities around the world. Yeah baby! Street sign shows up Durham Police Constable Paul Stuart tells media about the recovery of the stolen Mike Myers Drive sign that he lo- cated in Hampton.

Effective Saturday, July 5, pa- tients in low-risk clinical areas will be permitted two visitors a day during visiting hours, which run from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. week- days and 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. weekends. High-risk clinical areas such as the emergency department and intensive care unit will remain at one visitor per day during visiting hours. “If there are any extenuating circumstances, our doctors and nurses may decide to allow extra family members to visit,” said Rouge Valley spokesman Katie Cronin-Wood. “We recognize family members and friends can play an impor- tant role in a patient’s recovery,” she said. Like most hospitals around the GTA, Rouge Valley tightened its visitor policy in May to help com- bat the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). It began to relax those restric- tions last weekend, allowing two support persons per labouring woman and two visitors a day in the pediatric and neonatal inten- sive care units. At the moment, there are no SARS cases, suspected or other- wise, at the Ajax hospital. There is one suspected case at its sister site in Scarborough. But Ms. Cronin-Wood said many of the hospital’s precau- tions will stay in place. “We’re continuing to screen vis- itors at the designated entrances and they are continuing to be masked,” she explained, adding staff are wearing masks even in non-clinical areas. “We’re not going to take them off. We’ve had a good track record and we want to keep it up,” Ms. Cronin-Wood said. durhamregion.com DDUURRHHAAMM - A cool spring didn’t hurt this year’s crop of Durham strawberries. The berries are about one week late, but otherwise “perfect” says Jennifer Rynard of Durham Farm Fresh. “Despite the cool spring, the sea- son is good, it’s great,” Ms. Rynard says. “The berries are big and juicy. Sometimes a cool spring throws people off and they think it’s not going to be good, but they’re per- fect.” No black spots have been found on the berries this year, which is a good sign, she adds, and last week’s sun gave the berry patches just what they needed to ripen. “Most of the growers in the area say they’re doing quite well this year and (berries) seem to be big- ger,” says Ms. Rynard. Willowtree Farm Market at 975 Durham Rd. 21 in Port Perry agrees. “They’re a good size,” owner Rod McKay says. “I think it’s going to be an above-average crop and above-average size.” If it is too hot a spring, he said the berries ripen too quickly and don’t get a chance to grow. “This week they’re going to be on pretty good,” he adds. “By Thurs- day they’re going to be very plenti- ful.” Strawberries season lasts three to four weeks and then, Durham farms are into raspberries. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 6, 2003 PAGE 9 A/P As Authorized LIQUIDATE Canada’s Permanent Golf Liquidation Centers has been authorized to UP TO 70% OFF EVERYTHING GOLF BALLS, CLUBS, ACCESSORIES & CLOTHING 3 DAYS ONLY DOORS OPEN AT 12 noon Wednesday 3 DAYS ONLY - WED.

THIS WEEKE N D HUGE FARMERS MARKET NOW OPEN NOW OPEN New citizens happy to become Canucks BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM - On July 1, at Palmer Park, Judge Roy Bonisteel told 25 new Canadian citizens that they don’t have to include the word “eh” in their vocabulary in order to be truly Canadian. In fact, Judge Bonisteel advised each person to remain true to themselves and their culture. “We need you. The more people like you that come into Canada the better it is. I think you should also remember where you came from. You should remember your coun- try, your customs, your traditions and I want you to sing us your songs and tell us your poetry and tell us your stories and we will tell you ours. Because blending togeth- er will make a stronger country,” said Judge Bonisteel. Thirteen different countries were represented among the 25 new citi- zens, including Monserrat, Eng- land, Iran, Uruguay, South Korea, Guyana, USA, the Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Trinidad and Tobago and India. Judge Bonisteel compared the gathering to a mini-United Nations, but one which did not quarrel. There was general consensus among the 25 new citizens that the right to vote was one of the most important aspects of becoming a Canadian citizen. Judge Bonisteel took it one step further and encour- aged all new citizens to get their names on a ballot, whether it be municipal, provincial or federal. “You have the right to be a candi- date in the election. You have the right to run for office. That is a very important right and it is one I sug- gest you consider,” said Judge Bon- isteel. As each person crossed the stage to receive a certificate and pin, he or she was presented with a white pine tree sapling, which they were to plant on a special day. Jean Crossley was waiting pa- tiently to hear her name called so she could cross the stage to receive her certificate. As her name was called, Ms. Crossley raised herself out of her wheelchair and with some assistance chose to walk to the judge. Ms. Crossley is originally from England but now resides in Uxbridge and has waited eight years for this day. “I am one of everybody now. I have been happier in Canada than I have all my life,” said Ms. Crossley. “I really enjoyed the ceremony. I am really happy.” Hanieh Rahimi, her mother and father and sister also became Canadian citizens during the Cana- da Day ceremony. “I feel Canadi- an,” said Ms. Rahimi afterward. “It was very exciting, it was a very nice ceremony, very well done.” Ms. Rahimi and her family ar- rived in Canada four years ago from Tehran, Iran.

She had ex- tensive training before she came but still, she struggled. “It is more official,” said Ms. Rahimi, “you feel more part of this country. I love Canada. It is a great country, and we can vote.” Dublin, Ireland native Gerry Colette has been in Canada for nearly 30 years. “It’s not really much different from yesterday,” said Mr. Co- lette. “It seems to be the right time. It is easier to trav- el throughout the States with a Canadian passport. Also it is time I started vot- ing.” Mr. Colette was happy with the ceremony but was more looking forward to “taking off the suit, getting into some shorts and having a drink.” B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah purchases it own Torah for monthly services AAJJAAXX — A local synagogue is here to stay. “You don’t find Jewish stores on every corner in Ajax,” said Neil Walker, when comparing the Jewish population of Ajax and Toronto. The B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah Syna- gog ue recently purchased a Torah of its own. It’s a “really big step for the synagogue and says to the congrega- tion and other people that we’re here to stay,” Mr. Walker said. The synagogue’s members consist of 56 families, which is significant because it “serves the Jewish popu- lation in an area not known for Jew- ish people,” he added. Before the purchase of the Torah, the synagogue borrowed others from different synagogues. Money was raised for the purchase through the synagogue’s own reserves and the Lynn Reiss Sefer fund. The fund is named after a member of the synagogue and Hebrew schoolteacher, who died of cancer. The B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah holds one Friday and one Saturday service per month plus special events at St. Paul’s United Church, 65 Kings Cres., in Ajax.

Durham MPP on energy task force BByy JJeerreemmyy LLee PPaaggee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM - An energy task force has been created by the Province, and Durham MPP John O’- Toole has been appointed to “bring the voice of the average citizen” to the table. “I’ll hear as many people as possible,” explains Mr. O’Toole, who says the task force will be an important factor in determining the future of Ontario’s energy supply. The government says the task force will outline ways to attract new power generation; recommend ways to develop long-term supply; ensure all electrici- ty stakeholders have input, and suggest how to make Ontario’s power grid more reliable. Energy Minister John Baird stated, “I believe (the task force’s) work will be invaluable as we devel- op a roadmap for the next 10 to 20 years... We must be forward-looking and begin planning now for new elec- tricity generation.” Mr. O’Toole says he be- lieves energy conservation is a key element for the fu- ture of the province, and favours creating conserva- tion awareness to just cre- ating new sources of ener- gy. Environmental groups have been championing this concept for years. “Conservation is the way to go... It’s not sexy con- serving energy, but it works,” says Shawn- Patrick Stensi, director of atmosphere and energy services at the Sierra Club of Canada. “All the tech- nology exists... we have to stop foot-dragging.” He says looking to places such as California or Germany could help Ontarians gain new perspective on energy supply. In the golden state, for example, 10 per cent of the energy demand dropped within months of the government promoting conservation awareness to the public. And Germany, like other European coun- tries that are phasing out nuclear technology, up to 10 per cent of energy is pro- duced by the wind. “Meanwhile, we’re still in the coal-burning age,” adds Mr. Stensi, who notes that getting new nuclear facilities on line - fission or fusion - won’t solve the problem. The government needs to encourage people to retrofit their homes to be more efficient, and get newer, cheaper-to-run ap- pliances, he adds. Cana- da’s fuel efficiency for vehi- cles is still based at 1980s standards, he adds. Even Texas, Mr. Stensi says, which isn’t at the top of the air quality game, de- rives up to 15 per cent of its energy from “green” sources. Other members of the Province’s Electricity Con- servation and Supply Task For ce include Dr. Bryne Purchase, Deputy Minister of Energy; Don MacKin- non, president of the Power Workers’ Union; Mary Ellen Richardson, president of the Associa- tion of Major Power Con- sumers of Ontario; and several hydro and energy CEOs. The chairman of the task force is Peter Budd, founding director of On- tario’s Independent Elec- tricity Market Operator and chairman of the On- tario Energy Association. “Electricity is the lifeblood of our economy and society,” says Mr. Budd. “We must look at ways of combining conser- vation programs with poli- cies and programs.” A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com 1-800-GM-DRIVE goodwrench.gmcanada.com.†Offers not available in Thunder Bay, Fort Frances, Dryden,Terrace Bay and Kenora.

YOUNG A FEATURE FOR TODAY’S FIFTY-PLUS LIFESTYLE ForeverForever BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM - Blindness, heart disease, and limb am- putations are just some of the risks those with diabetes can face if the disease is not taken seriously. In Canada, two million peo- ple, or one in 13, have dia- betes, says Christine Thomp- son, Durham Region branch manager for the Canadian Di- abetes Association. By 2010, the number is estimated to climb to three million. “It’s definitely a cause of death,” Ms. Thompson says. “The complications of Type 2 diabetes are quite severe.” There are three main types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and gestation diabetes. Type 1 is caused when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin necessary for energy production. It is usu- ally found in youth and re- quires insulin injections. Type 2 affects 90 per cent of those with diabetes. It is caused when the body does not properly make or use in- sulin and is found more often in adults. Gestation diabetes is a temporary form developed during pregnancy and in- creases the risk of diabetes in child and mother later on in life. The Durham Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Associa- tion offers monthly support group meetings at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, Lak- eridge Health Port Perry and at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital to help ed- ucate those with diabetes. It is predominately senior citi- zens who attend the support groups, which primarily ad- dress Type 2 diabetes, says Ms. Thompson. “There’s a higher risk for people over the age of 45,” says Ms. Thompson. “That’s why it’s important to know Ef fects of diabetes can be devastating Jim Rushford started a diabetes support group shortly after he was di- agnosed with the disorder. ✦See Help page 14 ...because education is important For further information on Community Newspapers in Education email us at newsroom@durhamregion.com This Week ● Canadian Statesman ● NEWS ADVERTISER ● Times-Journal A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com THE COURT AT BROOKLIN retirement residence is simply the best place to live in the Durham region.

There is a higher risk for the disorder in those who are over- weight, especially if they carry it around the mid-section, those who are of aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian, or African descent, those who have a diabetic parent or sibling, give birth to a child over nine pounds, get gestational di- abetes, have heart disease, high cholesterol or other fats in the blood, high glucose levels or blood pressure. “If you feel you’re at risk, go to the doctor,” says Jim Rushford, support group director for Port Perry. Now 73, Mr. Rushford began the support group location after being diagnosed with diabetes. “I wasn’t really sure what dia- betes was, it was just here’s something else to play with.... This is why part of the support group is to bring these (dia- betes) facts, as many as we can,” he adds. The support group, which meets on the last Monday of each month at Lakeridge Health Port Perry, usually has guest speakers on hand to answer any questions and give advice. “There’s so many questions that can be asked,” Mr. Rush- ford says. “If we don’t have an- swers at hand, we try to get them. Some are worried about teeth, eyes, feet.” He said people can still live a life with diabetes, but they should always remain conscious it is there. “My life has never changed re- ally. If you follow directions or orders you can live a normal life just with being sensible and watching yourself,” Mr. Rush- ford says. He tries to stay away from salts and sweets, but it does not mean if he is at a party, he can- not have a dessert. “It’s up to the individual to be conscious of their diabetes stage and not be scared to ask for help because help is there. (Dia- betes) is not something that can be laughed off,” he says. If it is and blood glucose levels are left to flow too high, it will slowly damage small and large blood vessels and have serious side affects. Joan Hood, dia- betes educator for Lakeridge Health Port Perry explains why a healthy diet and exercise is im- portant for those with the disor- der. High blood sugars over a long period of time can damage blood vessels in the eyes and cause blindness, eat away covers protecting nerves resulting in slower healing and sometimes leading to limb amputation, re- duce proper kidney function, and affect the circulatory sys- tem. Diabetes also hardens the arteries so they eventually be- come plugged, increasing the chances for heart disease or stroke. “We suggest they do some workout everyday,” says Ms. Hood and recommends walking 30-40 minutes daily. “It helps keep the blood in a target sugar area. “Then there’s the eating rou- tine,” she adds “There’s no real food you’re not allowed to have, but we encourage that you don’t have too many sugars.” For more information about diabetes call the Durham branch at 905-436-6648.

Billboard JULY 6, 2003 durhamregion.com www.durhamregion.com Unsightly leg veins can be a problem for millions of men and women. This problem affects a wide range of age groups, skin types and lifestyles. It is estimated that in many areas over 60% of the adult population suffer from spider veins and deeper leg veins. Until now, treating spider veins was a lengthy and painful process with needles or other invasive treatments. Now using the new combined technologies or the vasculight system unsightly leg veins can be treated simply, non-invasively and successfully. How does that work? A small spot of laser light travels through the skin and is absorbed by the blood within the vein on the basis of its colour. The resulting heat coagulates or clots the blood and destroys the function of the vein . This process does not affect any of the vein surrounding tissue. Over- time, the vein will be absorbed by the body and will disappear from sight. Many leg veins need multiple treatments often over a few months before the effect is complete. Even small vessels often require time to resolve. Call Tanya at the Élan Visage Laser Centre Today for a consultation at (905) 723-3930.

The sound of the birds chirping in harmony as they dance in their birdbath. What about the laughter of children as they play in the park? Or the simple sound of the wind rustling through the leaves of the trees, or the rain jumping off the panes of your window with springs’ first rain? If these simple pleasures in life seem dull to your senses, you could be experiencing stress or simply the initial stages of loss of hearing. It is important to identify this condition in its early stages. Many people don’t realize that they have a hearing impairment. They just speak louder than normal. Have your ears checked regularly, at least once per year. Not just you but your entire family staring with the little ones right up to seniors.

Groomed on the diamonds of Ajax as a player with the Ajax Spar- tans Minor Baseball Association, Wilson, 32, now hopes to teach local up-and-coming players as he was taught as a youth growing up in town. Toward that end, he plans to open a baseball school in town, complete with an indoor training facility that would allow players to workout year-round. “It has always been in the back of my mind,” says Wilson, in an inter- view at the News Advertiser office recently. “I have a little more time on my hands now. Ajax is a growing place and I want to try to give back as much as I can. I can give my knowledge as much as I can to as many people as I can.” Currently, the big outfielder whose career included stops in such major league programs as the Flori- da Marlin, Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians as well as a long tour of duty in the Japanese profes- sional league is searching out the best sites in Ajax and Pickering in Baseball all year round Busting through DDUURRHHAAMM – Ajax Pickering Dolphins quarterback Jesse Andrews tries to break from a gang tackle by Oshawa Hawkeyes Daniel Murray and Jon Corbett.

The exception to this rule, is the new home market. For some unknown reason, it is still going gangbusters. The houses seem to be getting small- er, the lots are shrinking to where they are becoming a joke, and the prices keep going up at a very accelerated pace.

Campbell SUMMERTIME- FEAST OR FAMINE ? order to fulfil his lifelong dream of opening up a baseball school. He notes he wants the facility to be big enough so players can make use of indoor batting cages and to throw inside. He recalls having to endure indoor workouts in gymna- siums during the winter months where no bats or balls were al- lowed. “There was really no place to train,” he says. “It was difficult training in a gym because you can’t bring bats or balls into the gym. That was difficult for me growing up.” He hopes to have an indoor baseball facility up and running by this winter, if possible. His training facility is taking root because he’s on the verge of retiring from baseball, he admits. He does, however, cringe when the word ‘retirement’ is mentioned. He’s leaving the door open just a crack for any opportunities that may come his way. “I still want to play. Without a doubt, I still want to play. That’s what I’ve been doing most of my life, so it’s hard to turn away from it. I’m used to eating and sleeping baseball. Next to my family, base- ball is my life.” After ending a six-and-a-half year career of playing professional baseball in Japan with the Nip- pon-Ham Fighters of the Japanese Pacific League, he came back to Nor th America with an interesting offer awaiting him. He was signed to a minor league contract and at- tended spring training with the New York Yankees, with a chance to catch on with the team’s ‘AAA’ affiliate in Columbus, Ohio. “I felt it was time for me to come home (from Japan) and (the Yan- kees) invited me to their major league camp. What else could I ask for? Coming home from Japan and having the Yankees knocking at my door — I couldn’t believe it.” Upon attending the Yankees’ training facility in Tampa, Florida in February, it quickly became ap- parent to Wilson that he wouldn’t fit in with the Bronx Bombers. “Things just didn’t work out,” he lamented. “They had their main guys there that they had to play. There were just too many guys and I just couldn’t fit in. They had tons of outfielders and a few DHs (designated hitters). There were guys with five and six years of major league experience, so it be- came a numbers game over there.” Wilson notes his quasi-retire- ment has been an adjustment. Spending most of the past 13 sum- mers in ballparks, he’s currently back in his Ajax home with his wife Natalie and daughters Mor- gan, 3, and Latoya, 16. “I’ve never been here this time of year, so I forget what it’s like,” he says. “Usually when I come back there’s four to five inches of snow on the ground. It is nice to be home now.” Wilson has accomplished a lot as a professional baseball player. A minor league player in the To ronto Blue Jays’ system in the early 90s, he was snapped up in the 1992 expansion draft to fill the Major League Baseball rosters of the Florida Marlins and the Col- orado Rockies. He’s now a trivia question as the first member of the Florida Marlins after being the first player chosen by the franchise in the November draft. He went on to play three sea- sons with the Marlins (1993), Reds (1995) and Indians (1996) before making his way to Japan where he signed with the Fight- ers of the Japanese Pacific League. Through five years with Nippon Ham, he led the league in home runs in 1997 with 37 and 1998, with 33, also leading the league in RBIs that year. He left the Fighters and joined the Osaka-based Kintetsu Buffalos in 2002, and was released by the team last August. While he’s longing for a life at home in Ajax, the pull of playing baseball continues to be strong. “If someone calls, of course I would go. I don’t like the word re- tirement. I don’t want to retire. But, when the school opens up, I want to dedicate as much time as I can.” Nigel making plans to teach baseball ✦ Nigel from page 20 NNIIGGEELL WWIILLSSOONN ‘I still want to play.
