Active living can
benefit local seniors
PICKERING - The arrival of
a new year is often accompa-
nied by resolutions to quit smok-
ing, lose weight, or get fit.
Those resolutions are as
true for the elderly in our com-
munities. Inside today’s Picker-
ing News Advertiser, you’ll find
our monthly Forever Young, with
a lead feature on ways senior
citizens can get fit.
Whether it’s by walking
more, taking up a sport, or re-
solving to simply take part in
‘active living’, experts say se-
niors can benefit tremendously
from regular exercise to improve
their quality of life.

Pickering residents could be paying more for electricity
Veridian seeks rate hike
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Homeowners
here could see their electricity
bills increase by an average of 3.4
per cent as of Feb. 1 if the Ontario
Energy Board (OEB) approves
Veridian Corporation’s application
for a rate hike.
John Wiersma, president of the
corporation that’s owned by the
municipalities of Pickering, Ajax
and Clarington, reported Veridian
is seeking what will likely be the
first in a series of similar rate in-
creases over the next three years
as the company attempts to ac-
count for rising costs and strives to
reach a market-based rate of re-
turn.
“If the OEB approves it, it will
probably (become effective) Feb.
1,” he said of the proposed rate in-
crease. “They have approved some
of the rate increases (in other ju-
risdictions). We expect to hear
from them soon.”
Pickering council will have an
opportunity to provide input on
the application before the OEB
makes its decision, he said.
“As part of the framework the
minister has given to the energy
board, the rate applications have
to go to the municipal councils in
each of the municipalities where
we service customers,” he said.
A report by Pickering treasurer
Gil Paterson will be presented to
councillors Monday, which is also
the OEB’s deadline for comment
from municipalities.
In an interview Friday, Mr. Pa-
terson said his report summarizes
Veridian’s application and gives
councillors an opportunity to com-
ment.
“My report is pretty general,”
he said, noting councillors can “ei-
ther support, not support or pro-
vide their own comment”.
On an average monthly bill
based on 1,000 kilowatt hours, a
customer can expect to see an in-
crease of roughly $4 per month for
a total of about $84.
Veridian had requested a rate
increase of approximately six per
cent last year but that application
was never approved, Mr. Wiersma
noted, adding the minister of ener-
gy, science and technology
stepped in and instructed the OEB
to mitigate the impact of any rate
increases.
“So, rate increases will now
have to be phased in over three
years,” he explained, adding “we
have had rate decreases in each of
our municipalities for the last
Pickering
crash
claims life
Ajax woman
charged
PICKERING —An 85-year-
old Whitby woman is dead follow-
ing a car crash in Pickering Thurs-
day afternoon.
Durham Regional Police said
Helen Markley, of Dunlop Street in
Whitby, died Thursday night at the
Ajax and Pickering Health Centre
as a result of injuries sustained in a
crash at about 3:40 p.m. near the
Pickering Recreation Complex at
Valley Farm Road and Diefenbaker
Court. Mrs. Markley was the pas-
senger in a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica
that was broadsided by a 1992 Ply-
mouth Voyager,police said. The 60-
year-old Ajax woman driving the
Corsica, and 51-year-old Ajax
woman driving the Voyager were
treated for minor injuries.
The driver of the Chevrolet Cor-
sica has been charged under the
Highway Traffic Act with failing to
yield on a through highway.

City treasurer notes rate
harmonization could
cost users more too.See ELECTRICITY page 2
seven years.”
Mr. Wiersma continued
saying even if the OEB ap-
proves the increase this
month, there will be addi-
tional rate hikes in future
years.
“There will have to be;
the three per cent wouldn’t
get us to the market-based
rate of return,” he said.
Mr. Wiersma maintains
the corporation’s historical
rate of return of five per cent
needs to move towards the
commercial rate of return of
approximately 9.8 per cent
so the company can meet
the goals of its shareholders.
He previously told council-
lors the utility could have a
problem with its credit rat-
ing if it does not have a suf-
ficient return.
Meanwhile, he says al-
though Veridian’s rates have
been frozen since last year,
the utility is absorbing ris-
ing energy costs as well as
the new costs associated
with the regulatory frame-
work that’s been imposed.
The corporation’s access
to development charges has
also been cut off by the
Province, he added. “We
have to be self-sufficient in
that area.”
Mr. Wiersma pointed out
Veridian is also in the
process of doing a rate har-
monization to create uni-
form rates in the municipal-
ities the utility serves.
“There will be some in-
creases in Pickering due to
this harmonization,” said
Mr. Paterson.

Durham’s public school board
will show off its new and expand-
ed Web site — redesigned to be of
more value to parents and stu-
dents — at Monday night’s board
meeting.
But the community can al-
ready check out the site at
ddsb.durham.edu.on.ca. The site
is broken up into eight main sec-
tions and provides a link to the
‘Students On Ice’ Antarctica ex-
pedition, where visitors can see
for themselves what the 11
Durham students, who are due
back tomorrow, did each day
while on the frozen continent.
“What we’re trying to gear the
site towards is the students and the
parents — we weren’t doing that
in the past,” said Rene Faas, se-
nior technology analyst with the
Durham District School Board.
He explained the site was for-
merly geared to offering informa-
tion on the school board itself,
and was not updated very fre-
quently. The new site is main-
tained daily and can thus provide
current information to students
and parents. Mr. Faas said stu-
dents and parents should, for ex-
ample, be able to find out if a
snowstorm cancels busing in any
area of the region.
Students can find out about
programs offered at the board, and
parents can quickly find out who
their trustee is and look up contact
names at their school and others.
Visitors can still get an
overview of the board in the
‘About DDSB’section, which fea-
tures education director Grant
Yeo’s annual report and outlines
board policies. There’s also infor-
mation on student assessments,
special programs, school commu-
nity councils and curriculum.
Board meeting dates and agen-
das are also listed on the site for
those who want to follow board
business but cannot attend meet-
ings.
“It will be a work in progress,”
said Mr. Faas. “As we’re getting
suggestions from the community
and parents and students we’ll try
to incorporate those changes in
the site if they’re valid.”
Monday’s board meeting will
feature a demonstration of what
visitors can see on the site, up and
running since last month.

Liberal education critic brings
school ‘peace plan’to Durham
Gerard Kennedy is in Pickering Wednesday, describes
region as ‘ground zero’ of extracurriculars issue
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The On-
tario Liberal Party’s Peace
Plan for the Province’s high
schools is coming to Durham
in the form of MPP Gerard
Kennedy.
The party’s education critic
is hosting a community meet-
ing at the Pickering Civic
Complex Wednesday, and has
invited parents, students,
teachers, school board officials
and local MPPs to attend.
Just before Christmas, Lib-
eral leader Dalton McGuinty
proposed a solution to the im-
passe which has seen most
high school teachers withdraw
from supervising clubs and
sports.
While this is a new phe-
nomenon in Ontario schools,
it’s a three-year-old problem in
Durham, where educators
were first forced to teach an
extra half class.
Mr. McGuinty said the situ-
ation could be resolved if
classes were lengthened,
adding roughly a half-hour to
the school day, which at the
same time would reduce the
number of classes educators
teach, freeing up time. Mr.
McGuinty said it would cost
$150 million and is a “win-
win-win solution” for the
Province, teachers and stu-
dents.
While teachers have lauded
the plan, Education Minister
Janet Ecker has rejected it, ar-
guing that everyone except the
teachers are being asked to
give up something in the pro-
posal.
Among those invited to the
Wednesday meeting is a group
committed to restoring activi-
ties in local high schools.
Charlene Westbrook,
spokesman for Durham Coali-
tion for Extracurricular Activi-
ties, said in an interview the
Liberal Party has asked the
group to endorse the plan, but
DCECA is committed to stay-
ing neutral.
Still, at this point any po-
tential solution is welcome,
she said.
“Our opinion is that some-
body is stepping up and realiz-
ing something has to be done,
that’s on the plus side for
sure,” said Ms. Westbrook.
“Because it’s obvious the Min-
ister of Education is leaving it
at the side of the road and the
school boards and teachers
aren’t doing anything either.”
She said it’s “pathetic and
shameful” the situation has
gone on as long as it has.
“It’s upsetting to me as a
parent that other adults can’t
figure out their problems with-
out involving a third party,
who is helpless,” said Ms.
Westbrook, referring to the
students.
A kind of apathy towards
the situation has set in for
Durham high school pupils,
especially those in Grade 11,
she said, who have never had
activities in their schools.
“These kids don’t know
what they have missed, they
just know that something isn’t
right,” said Ms. Westbrook.
She noted the Whitby Opti-
mist Club is trying to do its
part to help students by host-
ing a high school dance at
Heydenshore Pavilion last Fri-
day.
“It’s been very hard (to or-
ganize) because the high
school students don’t want to
get involved in anything,” said
Ms. Westbrook.
And while part of this can
be attributed to the general at-
titude of teenagers, the situa-
tion in schools also plays a
part in the lack of interest, she
believes.
In an interview, Mr.
Kennedy said Durham is
“ground zero” as far as the
issue is concerned and region
residents have a message for
the rest of the Province, “that
this won’t solve itself.”
“We’re saying, by the end
of this month we should be
able to do this plan or some-
thing better,” he said.
While not perfect, Mr.
Kennedy said the Liberal plan,
if implemented, “should bring
back a substantial number of
extracurricular activities” to
schools.
The provincial opposition
normally lets the government
“roast” when they’re in trouble
on an issue, but this is too im-
portant to let that happen and
the government has to be pres-
sured to find a solution, he
said.
“We’re quite happy with
(the government) improving
on the plan, but we believe the
option of doing nothing is un-
acceptable,” said Mr. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy plans to hold
similar meetings in Kitchener,
London, North Bay and
Toronto, among other places,
in the coming weeks. “We’re
going to try and keep the
meeting focused on solu-
tions,” he said.
The meeting takes place at
7 p.m. in the Pickering council
chambers, located at One The
Esplanade.
‘We’re quite happy with
improving on the plan, but we
believe the option of doing
nothing is unacceptable.’

Decision on
oxygen tanks
could be deadly
To the editor:
Occasionally a situation
comes to my attention that really
irritates me.
In this case, it’s the federal
Ministry of Health.
I’m talking about oxygen.
Many of my acquaintances and
friends require oxygen to survive,
or know someone else who does.
Oxygen comes in two ways:
by individual tank or by the use
of an electrical-powered machine
that provides oxygen while it is in
operation. This last bit is where
the problem comes in.
The health ministry is pushing
the government’s latest cost-sav-
ing scheme. Everyone must now
use the electrical machines.
Here’s the problem: Areas of Os-
hawa, Whitby,Ajax are subject to
many power failures in any given
year.
Some of my buds have had up
to eight hours with no power. An
electric oxygen machine is no
different than a refrigerator or
stove. It won’t work.
Some people require oxygen
full time. Add to this an often se-
vere reduction in hand/ finger
flexibility and overall strength
(which are needed to switch over
from electric machine to oxygen
tank) and people are at risk of
dying. Power failures mean no
light to see by. Failing health
makes walking, finding and fix-
ing difficult.
The majority of oxygen users
are seniors. They and/ or mem-
bers of their family are the ones
we recognize every Nov. 11 for
their war efforts. We have free-
doms because of these older
folks.
They need the security of oxy-
gen tanks, not the fear of power
failures affecting life and breath.
Personally, I’m getting to a
stage where a whole lot hurts that
didn’t used to. A great deal of
gaps and blanks are showing up
where wit and memory used to
reside.
I can no longer open a new jar
of pickles even with a gripper. If
my breathing was in jeopardy, I’d
need a tank, not greater anxiety.
Maybe the government people
making oxygen decisions should
try functioning while impaired.

Another year without extracurricu-
lar activities has begun for Durham
high school students.
For the rest of Ontario’s secondary
pupils, it’s the first time they’ve started
a calendar year without the sports and
clubs that make school, well, fun. As
local students have said, without activ-
ities school is a drag.
Teachers in great numbers have
withdrawn from extracurriculars, cit-
ing the Province’s mandated, 1,250-
minute-per-week workload. Educators
say it leaves no time to lead the drama
club or coach the badminton team.
The Province has complete control
of the education system and it is up to
them to end this stalemate. No more
rhetoric, no more simple truisms. Get
it done. And don’t say it’s all up to the
teachers’ unions and school boards to
reach contract agreements. You know
they can do nothing to resolve the situ-
ation.
The pressure on Education Minister
Janet Ecker over the issue was already
pretty intense before Liberal leader
Dalton McGuinty proposed a solution:
making classes a little longer while re-
quiring teachers to teach fewer classes.
That way, he says, the government gets
every minute of teaching time it wants
from teachers, and educators presum-
ably have time for extracurriculars.
So why isn’t the government acting
on it? A few reasons.
First, it came from the opposition
party leader (enough said).
Second, agreeing to it may look as
though the Province has caved in to the
teachers, which wouldn’t sit well with
those who put this government in
power. Twice.
Finally, the Province is determined
to stand firm on policy, though com-
promise is the right way to go here.
They call their inflexibility keeping
election promises. Another way of say-
ing that is, ‘we’re going to do what we
want to do, and damn the conse-
quences.’
The Province has painted itself into
a corner on this issue, and standing pat
won’t do. But the government has no
way to retreat and no way to go for-
ward, unless it takes a big gulp and
finds a compromise.
After all, there’s only two possible
answers to the question, ‘why aren’t
high school teachers doing what they
once did?’ Either they can’t or they
won’t. If you believe the Province, it’s
the union bosses telling teachers not to
do activities. Earl Manners, president
of the Ontario Secondary School
Teachers’ Federation, says that’s not
the case: unions can’t order teachers to
do or not do volunteer work.
I realize teacher bashing strikes a
chord with many people, jealous of
how much holiday time they get (I
hear this over and over again).
Increasingly, however, I find myself
believing people like Mr. Manners.
Alan Greenspan, the Federal Re-
serve Board chairman and the most
powerful ‘money’man in the world, has
cut the prime U.S. lending rate by half a
point.
That move spurs instant economic
activity across the United States and
even gives our own Toronto Stock Ex-
change a welcome boost.
Why did Mr. Greenspan act as he
did? To stave off a predicted downturn
in the economy and fears that after the
greatest period of growth in economic
history — seven straight years of climb-
ing without even a hitch — the bottom
may be about to fall out.
Mr. Greenspan, dubbed ‘Maestro’ in
a new book about him by famed author
Bob Woodward, knows exactly what
he’s doing. That major interest rate cut
will get the wheels of business hum-
ming once again. It may nudge inflation
up too, but that’s the price to be paid to
keep people working, stores open and
factories humming.
Canada’s lending rate, a full 1.5
points above the six per cent in the Unit-
ed States, must go down too. It’s ex-
pected to drop on Jan. 23 when the next
rate announcement is due, but there’s no
reason to wait. Drop it now to keep
pace. Canada actually had a better 2000
than the U.S., though General Motors’
auto sales were down slightly from
1999. Take Durham for example. Build-
ing is booming and expansion is the
name of the game. The jobless rate is
down and announcements of projects
coming to the region are a regular oc-
currence.
Canadian holiday sales were much
stronger on a percentage basis than in
the U.S., but we can’t afford to be smug
either. With the vast majority of our
trade occurring with our neighbour to
the south, what happens in the U.S. does
matter here: big time.
The Bank of Canada should match
Mr. Greenspan’s half-point cut or go
even farther and cut a full point. Com-
bined with the $100-billion five-year tax
cuts promised by Paul Martin and a tax-
cutting regime at Queen’s Park, busi-
nesses and individuals would have rea-
son to look forward to a strong 2001
with economic growth in the four- to
five-per cent range, well ahead of U.S.
projections.
George W. Bush is set to take the
oath of office in less than two weeks and
has promised a five-year $1-trillion tax
cut (if he can get agreement from a split
Congress). We’ll need to play the cut-
ting game to stay competitive.

Staff Writer
Snow is green for businesses
that depend on the white stuff for
their livelihood. And so far this
winter there’s been a thick blan-
ket of it covering Durham Re-
gion, meaning it’s boom time for
seasonal businesses.
Unlike the past few winters, a
disappointment for enthusiasts
who ski, snowboard and snowmo-
bile, the winter of 2000/ 2001 is
shaping up to be a big one for
snow lovers, and is even prompt-
ing first-timers to get out and
enjoy what the season has to
offer.
“It’s the best year I’ve ever
seen,” said Marni McQuillan,
manager of Mount Kirby Skis
and Boards on Taunton Road in
Oshawa. “We’ve already sur-
passed what we sold in the entire
year last year.”
Snowboard sales are up 100
per cent while ski sales have risen
50 per cent compared to last year.
A Boxing Week sale saw the store
“very, very busy”, and the phone
was ringing off the hook on the
second day of the new year.
Ms. McQuillan said there’s
“definitely” a lot of new people
getting into winter sports. As
well, folks who haven’t skied in
years are returning to the slopes,
aided by technological advances
in skis which have made the sport
easier to master and more enjoy-
able.
The Christmas holidays also
capped off a great month at Lak-
eridge Ski Resort in Uxbridge.
“It’s just been unbelievable
this year,” said general manager
Craig MacDonald. “I don’t think
in the history of this place that
I’ve been here we’ve seen such a
steady input of business.”
And he said the frequent and
abundant snow we’ve seen so far
this season is the best incentive
for winter entusiasts. Residents of
the urban south often look at the
light dusting of snow on their
lawns and figure their isn’t much
snow at ski hills a little further
north. But this year the south has
received a lot of snow, and the
north? — tonnes.
“As long as it stays like this I
think we’ll have a tremendous
year,” said Mr. MacDonald
Business at the Chalk Lake
Road resort is up around 25 to 30
per cent over 1999. In 13 years,
Mr. MacDonald can’t remember
when conditions have been so
good — so early — in the ski sea-
son. And a lot of new people are
taking to the hills, reflected in the
“phenomenal” turnout for ski
lessons and beginner package
deals.
Snow doesn’t have much ef-
fect on Ajax business Durham
Firewood, but cold weather does,
and lower-than-normal tempera-
tures have gone hand-in-hand
with the snow, creating more de-
mand.
“People are already on their
second or third order who would
normally take one for the year,”
said Anne Sheppard, who with
her husband, Steve, runs the busi-
ness.
Ms. Sheppard had just come in
from clearing her outdoor ice rink
to find 11 new inquiries on her
answering machine.
Comparing business last
month with December 1999 isn’t
fair, she noted, since the weeks
before New Year’s Day 2000 saw
“a mad rush” of people stocking
up on wood, just in case the
doomsday,Y2K predictions came
true and there was no power or
heat.
However, business has dou-
bled when matched against the
winter of 1998, and while word-
of-mouth references may account
for much of that increase, Ms.
Sheppard said the cold weather is
also a factor.
“We managed to get our out-
door rink up in one day this year,”
she noted, adding it generally
takes a couple of days before
skaters can take to the ice.
Lawrence Perry, the Ultramar
agent for the Uxbridge area, de-
livers home heating oil to cus-
tomers in a territory bounded by
Hwy. 7, Durham Rd. 30, Scugog
Island and just north of Sunder-
land.
He describes this winter, so
far, as the “best in 17 years”.
As a reflection of how quickly
his customers are going through
fuel, Mr. Perry referred to a Sun-
derland-area customer where he
was making a Jan. 2 delivery. He
had last visited the rural property
on Dec. 11, a span of 22 days.
Last year at this time, the same
customer required a January de-
livery after 27 days.
“Based on degree days, we’re
about 500 degree days colder
than last year,” Mr. Perry said.
He explained this is measured
by taking it as a given that every-
body heats their home to an aver-
age of 65 F. Add the high and low
temperatures of a day, divide the
figure in half and take that num-
ber away from 65.
“I feel now, with the price
being higher, people are turning
the thermometer down,” said Mr.
Perry.
Customers who might keep
their home at 70 degrees have
turned the dial to perhaps 68 de-
grees and are wearing a sweater,
he said.
And where business is boom-
ing thanks to the weather, those
who are benefitting don’t want to
hear the word ‘thaw’.
“Oh no, I don’t think so,” said
Ms. McQuillan. “I don’t think
you’ll see a thaw this year.”

If it’s Friday,
it must be snowing...
Dave Thompson –– and thousands like him across Durham Region ––
had to clear yet another pile of snow from the driveway Friday morning
after Old Man Winter paid his latest visit to the area. An estimated 10
centimetres fell Friday morning, creating slick driving conditions for
commuters and additional chores for homeowners.

A Durham Catholic high
school teacher acquitted of sex-
ual assault is still waiting for
the board’s decision on whether
he will be allowed to return to
the classroom.
A meeting was scheduled
Wednesday between Michael
Thomas O’Reilly and Durham
Catholic District School Board
officials to discuss his employ-
ment status.
In an interview Thursday,
Mr. O’Reilly said the meeting
was “postponed” until after
schools reopen.
However, Grant Andrews,
director of education for the
Durham Catholic District
School Board, said a meeting
did in fact take place between a
teachers’ union official and
board officials regarding Mr.
O’Reilly’s status.
“There was a meeting and he
certainly was invited,” said Mr.
Andrews, who would not say if
Mr. O’Reilly attended.
Mr. Andrews said the board
is still reviewing the matter and
“the final decision has not been
made...
“We have a process in
place... It is still being re-
viewed.”
The 38-year-old Courtice
man was found not guilty last
month of sexually assaulting a
former student.
The teacher at Father Leo J.
Austin Catholic High School in
Whitby was charged in 1999
after an 18-year-old former stu-
dent complained to Durham
Regional Police.
Mr. O’Reilly has worked for
the board for nine years and
taught history and man and so-
ciety at the Dryden Boulevard
school.
After his arrest Mr. O’Reilly
was reassigned to clerical tasks.
He has been on sick leave since
September.
“I love my job, it’s a passion.
I’m not ready to give up teach-
ing,” he said in an interview in
the wake of his recent acquittal.
“Right now I’m just waiting
for word from the school board
as to what they’re going to do
with me.”
The former student testified
the father of three kissed and
fondled her after showing up at
her workplace.
During a two-day trial in the
Ontario Court of Justice in Os-
hawa, Mr. O’Reilly admitted he
visited the teenager but denied
the sexual allegations. He told
the court he left after the com-
plainant made sexual advances
toward him.
In his Dec. 14 ruling, Mr.
Justice Ray Taillon said the de-
fendant and complainant both
came across in court as credible
witnesses, prosecutor Greg O’-
Driscoll said.
He said the judge acquitted
Mr. O’Reilly based on a reason-
able doubt raised by the con-
flicting testimony.
An investigation was also
commenced previously by the
Ontario College of Teachers, at
the board’s request, but a
spokesman refused to comment
on the probe.
Mr. O’Reilly said the case
has been “devastating”, creating
a huge emotional and financial
strain on his family. He said his
15-year marriage did not sur-
vive.
“It’s destroyed my reputa-
tion... And it pretty much ruined
me financially. It’s been ex-
tremely difficult.”

of sex assault charges

man’s return to work still undecided

Kick up your heels to kick off the new year
There is no reason for seniors of all ages to shy away from fitness
ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo
Fitness supervisor Matt Brook gives some
pointers to Beverley Sheehan at the Ajax
Community Centre. No matter your age, fit-
ness experts say you can improve fitness lev-
els with simple exercises and an active
lifestyle.
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
Just about everyone makes
New Year’s resolutions.
They’re going to drop a few
kilograms, become more active,
read more often or stop smoking.
It’s a noble effort to improve
one’s lot, but if not done correct-
ly, chances are it won’t succeed.
Seniors looking to improve
their fitness level should consider
a number of factors before jump-
ing in with both feet.
Firstly, just because someone
is in the latter half of life doesn’t
mean they can’t improve their
level of fitness.
Marg Leech, a fitness instruc-
tor and personal trainer with the
City of Pickering, notes a person
can “improve their fitness level at
any age”.
That’s a sentiment shared by
Matthew Brook, a personal fit-
ness and lifestyle consultant with
the Town of Ajax. He points to
studies showing 90 year olds can
significantly increase muscle
mass with a fitness program.
“If a 90-year-old can do it, a
60- or 70-year-old can do it, for
sure,” Mr. Brook said.
However, before starting any
sort of fitness program, consult
with your doctor, Ms. Leech and
Mr. Brook agree.
“Especially if they haven’t
been active. They’ll want to know
if their blood pressure and health
is in good shape,” Ms. Leech
said.
If given the green light to pro-
ceed, get a fitness appraisal, a
service offered by both communi-
ties.
“They have to decide what
they want to accomplish,” Ms.
Leech said.
“We get an idea of what the in-
dividual wants to achieve,” Mr.
Brook added. “Everybody comes
for different reasons. We talk to
them about that.”
Another reason to seek out a
fitness supervisor is to ensure the
exercising is done properly.
He likened a fitness program
to “starting out on a trip. You sort
of have an idea of where you
want to end up. The program
gives you an idea of how to
achieve your goals.
“A lot of people get a lot out of
it. A lot come in thinking they
know where they are, thinking
they’re fit and then they find out
they’re not.”
And he cautioned against be-
ginning with the idea you’ll lose
a ton of weight. “We try to get
away from that as an indicator (of
fitness or health). It has more to
do with body fat,” Mr. Brook
said.
For instance, someone with a
lot of muscle might weigh more
than someone without muscle,

yet could be in good cardiovascular
shape.
Instead, he suggests looking at
other things, such as how clothes fit
and the number of inches lost.
One of the drawbacks of a fitness
facility is “seniors tend to be a bit
more intimidated by a weight room
or fitness room. That’s a bit unfortu-
nate,” Mr. Brook said. “We want
them to get away from coming in
every day, sweating up a storm and
doing heavy lifting. It doesn’t really
require that to be healthy.”
Ms. Leech supports “active liv-
ing”, which can be walking instead of
driving or taking the stairs instead of
an elevator.
“It may be joining a fitness facili-
ty, if they think they need that moti-
vation or guidance,” she said.
But starting a walking program on
their own or buying home fitness
equipment, will work just as well, de-
pending on the person.
“It’s got to be their decision what
they want to gain,” Ms. Leech said.
As Mr. Brook pointed out, “It
doesn’t take a big, huge effort on
their part to be more fit. When you
start, and you’re sedentary, you have
the biggest improvements because
you’re starting so low.”
He noted an exercise program only
takes about 20 minutes, three to five
times a week.
“For 50 per cent, after six months,
they’ve dropped out of going to the
gym. They’re not coming at all.
That’s a big issue for us,” he said.
“Telling them they have to come
to the gym isn’t realistic. There’s
walking, cross-country skiing, swim-
ming. Anything they enjoy, they are
more likely to do,” Mr. Brook said.

SENIORS from page 11
Lecture focuses
on early signs of
Alzheimer’s
A lecture on the importance of early
diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is
being held this month.
Dr. Jennifer Ingram, a geriatrician,
will speak at the event presented by the
Alzheimer Society of Durham Region.
Diagnosing Alzheimer’s early is be-
coming increasingly important as the
limited treatments available are most
effective in the early stages of the dis-
ease.
Topics to be discussed include
what’s involved in the process of diag-
nosing a person with Alzheimer’s,
what tests are required and where to
turn for medical attention.
The session is being held Tuesday,
Jan. 30 at 9:30 a.m. in the auditorium
of the Oshawa Public Library’s
McLaughlin Branch, at 65 Bagot St.
The two-hour lecture will be of interest
to family caregivers, health care and
social service professionals, and com-
munity volunteers.
The lecture is free, but pre-registra-
tion is required. Call 576-2567 or toll
free at 1-888-301-1106 for more infor-
mation.

Alzheimer Disease
Fact Sheet
Alzheimer Disease is a degenerative brain disor-
der that destroys vital brain cells.
There is no known cause or cure for Alzheimer
Disease. However, there is now medication to
treat some of the symptoms.
Alzheimer Disease can strike adults at any age,
but occurs most commonly in people over 65.
There are two forms of Alzheimer Disease:
Familial Autosomal Dominant (FAD), which can
strike adults at any age and the more common
Sporadic, which usually occurs after the age of 65.
364,000 Canadians or 1 in 13 over the age of 65
currently suffer from Alzheimer Disease and
related dementias.
Women are more affected by the disease than
men: women account for over 2⁄3 of all those over
65 with the disease; most caregivers are women.
Over 52% of Canadians know someone with
Alzheimer Disease and almost 25% have some-
one affected in their family.
There will be 109,900 new cases in 2001.
Early in the next century, baby boomers will move
into the age of highest risk of Alzheimer Disease.
By the year 2031, it is estimated over 3⁄4 million
Canadians will have Alzheimer Disease and
related dementias.
Canadians spend over $3.9 billion a year on per-
sons with Alzheimer Disease and related
dementias.
Caregiving
• People with Alzheimer Disease depend on a net-
work of caregivers to provide them with support.
• Caregivers can be informal (family, friends, co-
workers) or professional (doctors, nurses, personal
support workers.)
• Providing care can put a great strain on family
members.
• Over 70% of informal caregivers are women,
mostly wives and daughters.
• 30% of informal caregivers in the community are
employed.
• Work disturbances due to caregiving responsibili-
ties are extremely common.
• Depressive symptoms were nearly twice as com-
mon in Alzheimer caregivers as caregivers of non-
demented seniors.
• 36% of all informal caregivers in the community
are over the age of 70.
• People with dementia have fewer friends and rela-
tives to count on beyond the primary caregiver.
Durham Statistics
• Almost 4,000 people are living with Alzheimer
Disease or a related dementia in Durham Region.
• Approximately 10,000-15,000 caregivers live in
Durham Region.
• Many caregivers are of the so-called “sandwich
generation”, simultaneously caring for the needs
of their children and their aged parents with
dementia.

GM 2000 sales close to 1999 levels
Truck purchases helped keep numbers up
A banner year for truck sales kept
General Motors of Canada on an al-
most even keel in 2000.
Despite a steep slide in car and
truck sales in December, GM posted a
.4 decrease in vehicles sold in 2000,
when compared to 1999.
During December, 18,375 trucks
and 19,570 cars were sold, compared
to 20,011 trucks and 22,232 cars in
December 1999, representing a com-
bined 10.2-per cent decrease.
GM saw 256,792 cars sold in
2000, down 1.1 per cent from 1999,
and 218,101 trucks sold, up .4 per
cent.
“On a calendar-year basis, General
Motors of Canada outsold the compe-
tition on trucks and broke its previous
truck sales record,” said Dick Conlin,
vice-president of marketing for the
company.
There were significant increases
for trucks of all sizes, he said. Sales
of GMC Suburban/Yukon XL and
Chevrolet Suburban increased 126
per cent and 98 per cent in December.
The GMC Sierra regular pickup in-
creased 17.4 per cent while the
Chevrolet Tracker jumped 31.7 per
cent.
Young job seekers looking for work

Iron-clad wish for children
Iron Workers from Local 721 made a wish
and a promise to terminally ill children
Thursday by presenting the Children’s Wish
Foundation a cheque for $6,111, the pro-
ceeds from a golf tournament. The money
will be used to grant wishes to children.
Celebrating the donation of cash and cud-
dly teddy bears in Pickering are (from left)
Aaron Murphy, business manager for the
Iron Workers; Kathy Wisniewski, a director
of the Children’s Wish Foundation, and
Darren Mahoney, Iron Workers business
agent and the golf tournament co-ordina-
tor.
Gathering information to help
shape health promotion and preven-
tion programs here is the aim of a
monthly survey the Region’s health
department will be participating in
this year.
The Durham Region Health De-
partment will survey 100 area resi-
dents each month, beginning the
week of Jan. 8, to help identify pre-
vailing health issues in Durham.
Known as the Rapid Risk Factor
Surveillance System (RRFSS), the
telephone survey will be conducted
by the Institute for Social Research at
York University on behalf of the Re-
gion and other participating health
units in Ontario.
“Each month’s survey will give us
timely information about the health
knowledge, attitudes and behaviours
of the residents of Durham Region,”
explains Kathy Moran, an epidemiol-
ogist with the local health depart-
ment.
“Currently, we rely on provincial
and national surveys for health data,”
she says, adding “while the informa-
tion is useful in planning programs
and services, it can take years after a
survey is completed for local data to
be compiled and sent to individual
health departments.
Also, data for some of our pro-
grams are unavailable from any
source.”
Throughout each month in 2001,
100 Durham residents 18 years of age
or older will be randomly selected to
participate in the telephone survey.
Questions will cover topics such
as smoking, drinking and driving, im-
munization, use of car seats and bike
helmets, sun safety, health-care ser-
vices and well-water testing.
“This information will be used to
measure the impact of our programs
in the short-term and to track changes
in the health of Durham Region resi-
dents over time,” Ms. Moran says of
the suvey. “The data will allow us to
improve the programs and services
we provide to the Region’s 510,000
residents.”
For example, she says, the survey
will tell the health department how
well its education and awareness
campaign regarding the recent pro-
motion of free flu shots for residents
has worked.
For more information about the
RRFSS, visit the Region’s Web site at
www.region.durham.on.ca where
survey results will be posted as they
become available.
The health department can also be
reached at 723-8521 or 1-800-841-
2729.

Plumbing Mart can now add value to your
home with a basement conversion
Plumbing Mart are leaders
when it comes to bathroom renova-
tions. Over the last 40 years they also
have established an excellent reputa-
tion and have since expanded their
specialty to include kitchens.
So it just seems natural to utilize
their talent and resources to create a
new basement for your home.
“We already have the best com-
bination when it comes to products
and people,” says Sam Beninato of
Plumbing Mart. “We’ve done thou-
sands of bathrooms and kitchen pro-
jects so it makes sense for us to do
complete basement conversions.”
In the illustration above is a floor
plan of an in-law apartment they’re
working on. The photo shows the bath-
room that will be installed in the apart-
ment.
“We supply the products and the
people who will install fixtures and cabi-
nets as well as do the framing, drywall,
plumbing, electrical work, tile and
floors,” says Sam. “These are the same
people who have been completing our
kitchen and bathroom projects. The only
difference is that a new basement takes
longer to complete.”
Plumbing Mart will provide the
designs and even arrange financing OAC
for clients.
“There is a definite return on the
investment when you take into account
the rental income from the conversion. In
this example the owners have a positive
cash flow in excess of $500 a month after
taking into account the finance pay-
ments,” says Sam. “Also every basement
project is backed by Plumbing Mart’s 5-
year installation warranty.”
Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the
Plumbing Mart showroom is only 15
minutes from anywhere in Ajax and
Pickering. It's a short drive west on Hwy
401, south on McCowan Rd. to Lawrence,
go west two major intersections to
Midland and then just one block north to
Plumbing Mart on the west side.
Call their showroom at (416) 285-
6798 for a free in-home estimate. Call
Plumbing Mart toll free at 1-888-
BATHRENO or 1-888-228-4736.

in-law apartment Plumbing Mart is doing.

Local rink sweeps up
success at bonspiel
Justin Ferreira’s Annandale bantam rink
wins ‘B’ side at junior event
BY JIM EASSON
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX —Local teen teams record-
ed mixed results at the annual Toron-
to Curling Association Junior Bon-
spiel Dec. 29 and 30.
Ninety-four teams were entered in
the five categories of the spiel, held at
four area clubs.
Annandale Curling Club’s bantam
team of skip Justin Ferreira, vice
Mathew Pyne, second Timothy
March and lead Scott March achieved
the best showing of four club teams
entered. The Ferreira rink won the
bantam boys’ ‘B’-side and got to
choose from the prize table. Skip
Darryl Hill and teammates Peter Ste-
cyk, Chris Hutz, and Patrick Janssen
were sidelined in the second event
semifinals by the Ferreira team.
Meanwhile, Annandale’s bantam
girls’ team of Kaitlyn Leslie, Kayla
Bianchi, Tracy O’Leary and Lauren
Hong, and the team of Shauna Critch-
ley, Robin Wilson, Meaghan O’Leary
and Ashley Bianchi finished out of
the top four in their event and did not
advance.
Jesse Boston of Sault Ste. Marie,
and Meaghan Stoll of Burlington
skipped the winning junior teams that
earned a trip to Switzerland.
•••
The 2001 Brick Men’s Club
Championship Bonspiel continues a
tradition that has run continuously
since 1896. This edition gets under
way Saturday, Jan. 6 and Annandale
has eight teams entered. Visiting
teams will play at Annandale Satur-
day during the day and Monday
evening. Games continue all week
with finals at the Tam Heather Curl-
ing Club in Toronto Jan. 13.
•••
The road to the Canadian Men’s
Curling Championship will begin lo-
cally Jan. 13 to 15 with the Nokia
Cup zone playdown at the Oshawa
Golf Club.
Two winning teams will advance
to the Dixie Curling Club for the re-
gionals the following weekend.
Panthers finalists at two consecutive tourneys
Pickering peewee selects
edged by Ajax in final
PICKERING —The Pickering
Panthers/Magic Touch Chimney
minor peewee select hockey team
emerged as finalists at its second tour-
nament in two weeks, this time at the
recent Markham Select Tournament.
Pickering matched up against rival
Ajax in the final. With the score tied
2-2, Ajax scored a disputed goal with
1:17 left in the third period. Pickering
pulled goaltender Steven Elwood for
an extra attacker, but couldn’t net the
equalizer in a heartbreaking 3-2 loss.
Grant Ellis scored the first Picker-
ing goal in the final, assisted by An-
drew Pavlidis and Matt Ferguson. An-
drew Pavlidis notched the Panthers’
second goal. Damien Pavlidis and
Marc Cloutier drew assists.
The semifinal contest between
Pickering and Whitby was also a
high-tempo, hard-fought affair, with
the Panthers emerging with a 1-0 vic-
tory. Justin Stephenson jammed in a
loose puck in the crease midway
through the second period for the
game’s only goal. Pickering held off a
wild 6-on-4 flurry by Whitby during
the final minute to hang on for the
win. Outstanding defensive efforts
were turned in by Jamie Webster,
Matt McGeown and Daniel Glavin.
Elwood was at his acrobatic best to
earn the shutout, including stoning
opposition shooters on three break-
aways.
Pickering started the tournament
with a 2-2 draw with league rival
Stouffville in round-robin action.
Justin Shoesmith and Matt Avison
scored for the Panthers, with assists to
Kameron Cheron, Rhys Aubé and
Ferguson.
The Panthers dropped a 3-2 deci-
sion to host Markham in game two.
Shoesmith and Damien Pavlidis
scored for Pickering. Avison, Matt
Raymond, Ellis and Shoesmith added
assists.
The final preliminary-round con-
test pitted Pickering against Clarkson.
The Panthers dominated the contest
en route to a solid 4-1 victory which
earned the local peewees a berth in
the playoff round. Pickering domi-
nance was highlighted by killing a
two-man disadvantage for a full two
minutes without allowing Clarkson a
shot on goal. Bryan Knipe was espe-
cially effective in helping the Panthers
kill off the penalties. Ferguson scored
twice in the contest, Shoesmith and
Stephenson, who scored into an
empty net, netted single markers. As-
sisting were Ellis, Ryan Higgins and
Cloutier with one apiece.
The team is coached by Tom
Cloutier, Chris Glavin and Rick Fer-
guson. The trainer is Jim Higgins and
the manager is Miriam Shoesmith.

till Dec. 15/00 - Plus Parts
When you cover the NHL for
a living, you learn one golden
rule: Just when you think
something is set in stone, it
changes.
For example:
1. The Montreal Canadiens
looked like they were dead in the
water. In fact, I boldly predicted
they would not make the
playoffs just one week ago. They
have made a nifty little
turnabout. Under new coach
Michel Therrien, they were 4-2-
1 in their first seven games. I
still don’t think they’ll make the
playoffs, but at least there is
some point watching their games
now.
2. For the first month of the
season, the Florida Panthers
were awful - arguably the NHL’s
most disappointing team. And
Pavel Bure, winner of the
Rocket Richard Trophy as the
NHL’s leading goal-scorer last
season with 58, looked like he
was just going through the
motions. As of Dec. 3, the
Panthers were still last in the
Southeast Division, but Bure
was coming to life and had nine
goals in his past 11 games.
That’s good news in South
Florida. The Panthers will make
the playoffs.
3. It was the best of times
(salary-wise) and the worst of
times (goals- and points-wise)
for Theoren Fleury last season.
After signing a monster-sized
contract with the New York
Rangers, Fleury suffered
through his worst NHL season
scoring just 15 goals (incredibly
only one on the power play).
Some people thought he was
done. This season Fleury has
done an about-face and was
challenging for the NHL scoring
title with 17 goals (six scored
while on the power play and five
while playing shorthanded) and
35 points in 26 games. Now
Fleury looks very much like a
player who will be on Canada’s
Olympic entry in 2002. It’s nice
to see one of the league’s nice
guys turn things around.
4. The Vancouver Canucks
missed the playoffs last season
for the fourth straight season and
then lost captain and leader
Mark Messier to free agency.
Things looked bleak heading
into this season. But with the
addition of the Sedin twins,
Daniel and Henrik, the
emergence of defenseman Ed
Jovanovski as a star and Markus
Naslund as a leader to replace
Messier, the Canucks have re-
emerged as a contender. If goalie
Felix Potvin could somehow
rediscover the consistency he
had as a youngster in Toronto,
the Canucks would be that much
better.
(Mike Brophy is senior writer
for The Hockey News.)
