Durham councillors head north for retreat Coming term, budgets and introductions on agenda in Orillia Regional representatives will be heading north next month to work on a capital forecast for Durham, Roger Anderson reports. The Durham Region chairman told members of the finance and administration committee Wednes- day, councillors will be spending Feb. 7 and 8 at the Fern Resort near Orillia. The retreat will enable council- lors to provide “input in regards to what they want to see over the next three years,” Mr. Anderson said. He noted councillors will also have an opportunity to hear from department heads regarding the status of the 2001 budget, which is slated for approval by the end of April. The transfer of social housing from the Province and the “poten- tial upheaval” it could spark in terms of capital costs will also be on the agenda, he said. Mr. Anderson said he’s invited Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine to make a presen- tation about the department’s bud- get requirements this year. “We have to make sure every- body is on the same page,” he said in an interview. He added holding the meetings at the Fern Resort means council- lors and staff have fewer distrac- tions to deal with and can get down to business. “It’s also an opportunity for staff to meet the new councillors in an informal setting... I think that’s important,” he said. The Region is also planning a two-and-a-half-day retreat for councillors in May to address the issue of governance reform in Durham. That retreat is a follow-up to the January 1999 retreat at the Fern Resort when councillors set a deadline of June 30, 2001 to reach a solution regarding municipal re- structuring in Durham. Mr. Anderson estimates the February retreat will cost the Re- gion approximately $5,000. Pickering, harbour group fencing over land Citizens’ group urges City to ‘protect that investment’ BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —A local citi- zens’ group is urging the City to protect its investment in Pickering’s waterfront by ensuring the project isn’t tainted by a dispute with the Pickering Harbour Company (PHC). Pickering is in the process of re- developing the waterfront, a mas- sive project that includes building a boardwalk along Lake Ontario and the construction of a ‘millennium square’ at the foot of Liverpool Road. But, the PHC recently con- structed a fence around a parcel of land it owns on the edge of that square. And, Paul Kelland, president of the Pickering East Shore Commu- nity Association (PESCA), said the group is “encouraging the City to take whatever actions are necessary to get that fence down as soon as possible.” Mr. Kelland noted the waterfront “is part of the public domain. The City of Pickering is spending a lot of money on the millennium square. It’s something they want to be a showcase for Pickering. The City has to make an effort to protect that investment.” The City and the PHC have a long history of battling over Picker- ing’s waterfront and were engaged in a 13-year legal fight that began in See PICKERING page 4 MARK HOLLAND ‘I think the whole community is upset by it.’ AtAGlance Youth initiative before City council Monday PICKERING –– Providing more opportunities for local young people is the aim of a motion going to council Monday. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland is proposing the es- tablishment of a ‘Youth Partnership Initiative’in an attempt to facilitate new programs, drop-in centres and activities aimed at giving young people an opportunity to participate in the community. Coun. Holland also wants the City to make a donation equalling the municipal portion of the proper- ty tax bill to any non-profit organi- zation that is renting space for the purpose of assisting youth. Council meets at the Civic Complex, One The Esplanade, at 7:30 p.m. BY TODD HAMILTON Staff Writer It’s back to square one for Gan Eden. The new owner of the lands once referred to as Gan Eden says he wants to start from scratch. Mario Cortellucci con- firmed Wednesday his com- pany has purchased the land from Joey Tanenbaum’s Jay- M Holdings and will be- come the sole owner once the sale is finalized Jan. 31. He left little doubt he does intend to develop the lands but strongly emphasized there is nothing on the draw- ing board yet. The lands, which had been targeted for a 2,500- home community, have been hotly contested the last few years because of their loca- tion on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and the opposition of Uxbridge Township and Durham Region. “The main objective is to develop, but there are many ways to develop. You can do wonders today with the high technology to be environ- mentally careful, but right now there is nothing,” said Mr. Cortellucci. “What I want to do first is study the area, the local people, the town itself. I definitely want to start from scratch.” After a meeting with Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor, he said he is be- ginning to understand the depth of negativity that was associated with the former Gan Eden project. “I am finding out more and more, especially the negative (opinions). But the past is the past. I don’t want to deal with that. I want to remove the negativity peo- ple feel, I want people to tell me what to do.” As far as the Gan Eden process is concerned, Mr. Cortellucci said the OMB appeal is most likely fin- ished but wants to take a cautious approach. “I have told everybody until the paperwork is com- pleted nobody is to do (any- thing); we don’t have con- trol (of the lands). In three or four weeks we’ll know better and talk about it then and see which way we want to go, but I have told every- one to stop working on it.” With Gan Eden presum- ably scuttled and Mr. Cortel- lucci’s assurances of envi- ronmentally sound develop- ment, groups opposed to the former Gan Eden proposal are still wary. “The new owner is a de- veloper and we don’t think he bought the land to turn it into a park,” Wynn Walters of the Citizens Alliance of Uxbridge said. “Although if he did his name would go down in history.” Mr. Walters also pointed out Mr. Cortellucci’s com- pany has been behind some of the biggest developments in the area, specifically a Brooklin housing project. “I hope he doesn’t want to do what he did in Brook- lin, that would certainly be cause for concern...,” Mr. Walters said. “But we have to hear what he has in mind before (deciding).” In addition to sitting on the York Police Services Board, Mr. Cortellucci, along with his brother and business partner Nicola Cortellucci, owns or holds interest in: Oxville Homes Ltd., Nimacor Investments, Four Valley Excavating and Grading Ltd., Eiram Devel- opment Co. and a numbered company. But as far as Uxbridge is concerned, Mr. Cortellucci said he doubts anything con- crete will happen in the near future. “It could be six months or a year before we get an idea of where we want to go. We need growth but it is all in the way you do it,” he said. “Right now the mes- sage I want to send is I’d just like to get to know the peo- ple, the town, the area first... this is their town, not my town.” A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 14, 2001 Controversial Gan Eden lands sold New owner wants to remove ‘negativity’ surrounding environmentally sensitive Durham area Players put Lizzie Borden back on trial Theatre troupe holds auditions today for upcoming production PICKERING —“Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her father 40 whacks, or did you Lizzie? Did You?” That’s the question the Pickering Players theatre troupe will be asking its au- dience in its upcoming pro- duction of ‘Blood Rela- tions’. The Players will hold auditions for the dramatic play this Sunday, Jan. 14 at the Dunbarton-Fairport United Church (Dixie Road and Finch Avenue), begin- ning at 1 p.m. Most people know the Lizzie Borden story of the notorious Fall River, Mass. woman who ‘did’ or ‘did not’ kill her stepmother and father with a pickaxe one morning in 1892. Although arrested and put on trial, she was acquitted. The play not only ex- plores the events of the mur- der, but also the relation- ships between the Borden family members which con- tributed to the murderous day. The play also focuses on Lizzie’s own struggles of being a spinster and living and being supported by her parents while longing for an independent and better lifestyle in the 1800s. The cast includes four adult women and four adult men. Although set in Amer- ica, several roles have Irish- American accents. Production dates are scheduled for March. Back- stage help is also required in all areas. For more information, call Stefanie at 426-6804.

Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Holland says he’ll propose the idea of changing council’s commit- tee structure during an all- day meeting planned for councillors and staff later this month. He reported the idea is to move away from the current executive committee struc- ture and introduce three sep- arate committees to deal with City business: opera- tions, planning, and finance and corporate services. Two councillors and the mayor would sit on each commit- tee. “I think from the per- spective of the municipality we would run a lot better,” Coun. Holland said, noting the proposed structure would be similar to that used at the Region of Durham. The City currently holds executive committee and council meetings on a two- week rotation. The executive committee, which includes the City’s three local coun- cillors, three regional coun- cillors and the mayor, makes recommendations to coun- cil. At the Region, the four standing committees — works, planning, finance and administration and health and social services — meet separately and then re- port to council. Coun. Hol- land said that committee model is preferable because it allows councillors more time with staff; something he says there is a shortage of here. He also says the munici- pality has outgrown the cur- rent structure, which has been in place since the 1970s. “It’s always been the ex- ecutive committee and council,” he noted, adding that structure is “efficient... for a small municipality.” But, he said the issues council finds itself dealing with now are “too complex”. He also believes the current structure is “confusing” for residents who don’t under- stand why the same group of people meet under two dif- ferent structures to discuss the same issues from one meeting to the next. Pickering’s chief admin- istrative officer Tom Quinn reported there is no set pat- tern for municipal meetings other than the fact they must hold council meetings. “You have to have a rou- tine. It has to be something that works,” he said, adding “It’s going to be an interest- ing talk.” Mr. Quinn reported past councils have discussed variations of Coun. Hol- land’s proposal but decided to remain with the status quo. “I’m not surprised it’s back.” However, as for his thoughts on the proposal, Mr. Quinn said he would prefer not to comment at this time. “I think I’ll hold my thoughts until the day.” The meeting is scheduled form Jan. 29.

The PHC also has a devel- opment application before the City proposing a marine village, including approxi- mately 40 townhouse units, on the west side of Liverpool Road just south of Wharf Street. That proposal was tabled by council last June. Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland believes the fence “is very symbolic” and indicates the PHC “no longer has an interest in working with the municipality. “It’s upsetting,” Coun. Holland said. “I think the whole community is upset by it.” He added “to my opinion (expropriation) needs to start immediately.” Coun. Holland reported the PHC has been involved in the waterfront design process for the past two years and says the plan was that the City would lease the small parcel of land from the com- pany. “It’s such a good news project,” he said, adding the situation provides a “perfect opportunity to be partners”. But, Harold Hough, presi- dent of the PHC, says there have been no formal offers by the City to lease or buy the land, which he says is about 1,000 square feet in size. He reported the “land in question is surrounded by the millennium square. We own the land that is fenced in.” And, he says the PHC “thought it would be appro- priate to delineate that land from (the land) owned by the City.” He also reported he met with Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs this past week to dis- cuss the issue and says the pair agreed to meet again to continue working towards a resolution. “I think it would be appro- priate we come to some arrangement,” Mr. Hough said. “What that may be I can’t say at this time.” Meanwhile, Mayor Arthurs said Tuesday he’s “not prepared to entertain (expropriation) at this stage,” noting he believes the appro- priate route is to work with the land owner. The mayor added while the parcel of land is relatively small, it’s “a very obvious parcel. “It certainly could inter- fere with laying the finish on that area of the square,” he said, adding it won’t impact the balance of the waterfront project. P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, January 14, 2001 Pickering, harbour company in dispute over tiny piece of land PICKERING from page 1 Pickering man killed in Bowmanville crash Durham Regional Police are seeking witnesses to a multi-vehicle crash in Clar- ington that claimed the life of a Pickering man Wednesday evening. The accident happened at the intersection of Taunton Road and Liberty Street, out- side of Bowmanville, just be- fore 6 p.m. Police say a 1999 Chevro- let Malibu driven by James Wilson, 72, of Sheppard Av- enue in Pickering, collided with a 2000 GMC Sierra pickup driven by a Fraserville man and a 1990 Chevrolet truck being driven an Orono man. Mr. Wilson was taken to Lakeridge Health Bow- manville, where he was pro- nounced dead. A passenger in the Sierra, was treated for minor injuries and released from hospital. The drivers of the trucks were not injured. Police are still trying to determine if weather played a role, and what direction each of the vehicles was heading at the time of the crash, says Constable Brendan Kennaley of the Traffic Management Unit. The investigation is on- going. All three vehicles were demolished.

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser Jan. 14, 2001 Don’t cover your hydrants, lives depend on them To the editor: Two years ago we had enough snow on the ground where fire hydrants were being buried by citizens shovelling their drive- ways. Guess what? It’s happening again. I took my kids for a walk to the park the other day and was shocked at what I could not see on our way home — fire hy- drants. Along parts of Mullen Drive and Large Crescent people have completely covered their fire hy- drants. For everyone’s safety, get out there and shovel out those fire hydrants. For those of you with a hy- drant on your property, you know where they are exactly, firefighters do not. Firefighters depend on hydrants being clear- ly visible to locate them. Last night, I went searching for a snow-covered hydrant up the street. I knew approximately where it was, and it still took me 10 minutes to find it, and anoth- er five minutes to uncover it. How long do you think it would take for the first fire crews to lo- cate a hydrant? Longer than that, unless you were standing on top of it directing them. Even though it is the legal re- sponsibility of Durham Region to keep these hydrants clear, the problem wouldn’t occur in the first place if people would use something that very few of us use anymore: common sense. For obvious reasons, keep your fire hydrant clear of snow. Gord Tewnion, Ajax It’s official. The separatist movement is now all but dead. It was staggering after the Supreme Court declared Quebec must consult Canada in the event of a ‘Yes’ vote in a referendum and was limping after Jean Chretien’s unity legislation passed. It then slowed to a crawl after the Bloc Quebecois battled to a standoff with the Liberals in the November federal elec- tion. The latest news killed it. Lucien Bouchard is stepping down. After a decade of tirelessly working to split Canada apart, Mr. Bouchard, like Parti Quebecois founder and icon Rene Levesque before him, has decided to give up. Mr. Bouchard steps down in the wake of racism scandals that have plagued his party. The recent comments by candidate Yves Michaud blaming Montreal Jews and other ethnics in Que- bec’s largest city for the failure of sov- ereignty enraged Mr. Bouchard. But after condemning the comments, he had to be furious that 12 PQ riding associa- tion presidents in Quebec also support- ed Mr. Michaud. Furthermore, Jacques Parizeau, the man Mr. Bouchard re- placed as premier in 1996 and who blamed money and the ethnic vote for the loss of the 1995 referendum, also backed Mr. Michaud. The knives were obviously out for the premier. Mr. Bouchard’s also watched the ap- petite for separation in Quebec wilt over the past six years since the 1995 refer- endum when the country came ever-so- close to breaking up. The red-hot econ- omy has helped every region in Canada and Quebec has benefited making the desire for the instability separation would cause very low. The death of Pierre Trudeau, the suc- cess of Jean Chretien and the fact Que- becers (including Paul Martin) have held the reins of power in Ottawa for decades may finally have sunk in for Quebecers. Mr. Bouchard was easily the strongest champion for separation Que- bec has had since Mr. Levesque and there are no clear successors of his stature to take his place. Gilles Duceppe has now presided over a continuous drop in seats over the last two federal elections. Bernard Landry doesn’t have the charisma Mr. Levesque, Mr. Bouchard or even Mr. Parizeau (who’s too old to come back) had. The door is now open for Liberal leader Jean Charest to make a firm mark and come away with a win in the next provincial election, expected in 2002. Mr. Bouchard deserves respect for his dedication to his cause and for his comeback after surviving a life-threat- ening encounter with flesh-eating dis- ease. It’s just too bad all that brilliance and talent was wasted on so wrong- headed an aim. Au revoir. The News Advertiser accepts letters to the editor.

Allow me to put in an unabashed plug for a TV show that will repay your time in spades: ‘Canada: A Peo- ple’s History’. The 32-hour series aired its first 10 hours this past fall. The first five parts of the series, which drew over two million viewers on average per episode, took the story from over 50,000 years ago to the con- clusion of the War of 1812. It made for fascinating ‘true-to-life’ television, a real attempt to get to the bottom of the creation of Canada. Now the story, which bills itself as the ‘first Canadian history of the tele- vision age,’ continues with episodes over the next few months to bring us up to Confederation and beyond. Eventually the series will take us right up to 1990. I can’t speak highly enough about this series, now for sale in a six-video set. There’s also a lush coffee-table book out now as well and it acts as the perfect complement for the series, tak- ing the story to 1873. Why is it all so important? Be- cause, as noted historian Jack Granat- stein says in his excellent little book ‘Who killed Canadian History?’ we just don’t teach Canadian history in schools anymore. Sometime over the past two or three decades, the dispassionate teach- ing of history, that is the look at our past without a purely subjective (femi- nist, socialist, conservative or political- ly correct) eye is not done anymore. Our history is now taught, when it’s taught at all, with a particular 21st cen- tury angle. Instead of trying to recreate the times people lived in, we try to see their lives through our skewered look- ing glass. That’s not only wrong, it serves as a false recreation of what forces went into making us the country we are. The series takes the actual words written by Canadians great and small and recreates scenes based on their personal stories. Recreations of events are exciting and actors play characters who tell us what happened and why. Furthermore, Canadian history is no longer required study in high school. Many young people simply have no idea where we came from, how we got here and where,as a result, we may be going from here. To under- stand how Canada operates now, you simply have to know what conditions created our country and why events happened as they did. ‘Canada: A People’s History’ is highly watchable and what’s more it’s suitable for kids. My nine-year-old son loves it and can’t wait for the next episode. Take the time to watch our story. You’ll come away proud of where we’ve come from and how we got here. Watch it, read it, learn it and love it Canadian history series worth your time E-mail your comments on this opin- ion to steve.houston@durhamnews.net.

With the accumulation of each new snowfall, operators are inching closer to setting record-breaking numbers. “All of this natural snow is a god- send,” says Craig MacDonald, gener- al manager at Lakeridge Ski Resort in Uxbridge. To ski operators, white flakes falling out of the sky translate into guaranteed revenue. With snow-making capabilities not usually in full force until late De- cember or early January, the early snowfalls and cold temperatures this year allowed many of the areas hills to get a head start on the ski season. “This year has been exceptional for snow making,” says MacDonald. The low temperatures and early snowfalls have provided “a lot of in- surance that we don’t normally have” this time of year, he adds. The same scenario is unfolding at Dagmar Resort in Claremont, where snow school director Brian Elliott says this “is the best season ever” so far. “The economy is booming for ski- ing. When you have good condi- tions, people start coming out.” Elliott noted that as an example of the increase of skiers over past years, the instructional snow school offered by the resort is fully booked, and a number of school programs are also utilizing the fa- cility. At Kirby Ski Hill in Clarington, which is home to the Oshawa Ski Club, all of the snow has translated into skiers travelling to the hill in record numbers as well. “It’s really good for us to have all of our runs open; it’s just super,” say Chris Greer, a director at Kirby. She added that some years Kirby is “lucky” to have four of its down- hill runs open in time for the Christmas and New Year’s rush. This year, with ideal weather con- ditions, 22 runs were open to the public to help ease any overcrowd- There’s snow doubt about it this winter Most snow since Environment Canada started measuring Early snowfall, cold temperatures have skiers heading to the slopes in record numbers Ski resorts not going downhill ing. Greer says that the ski hill has already reached its capaci- ty for memberships, and any future inquiries have to be placed on a waiting list. What’s adding to the in- creasing number of winter recreationalists heading to the slopes are the popularity of snowboard half-pipes, terrain parks and snow tube parks that are starting to spring up. The options have brought a whole new breed of thrill seekers out to the hills. “It’s like a dam ready to break,” says MacDonald. Lak- eridge just recently opened a new snow tube park that is ex- pected to attract “thousands” of people, he predicts. Though recent years haven’t had the same enthusi- astic start, MacDonald says the number of skiers travelling to the hills didn’t dwindle. “There were just as many skiers, it was just compressed into a shorter time span,” he says, adding “in past years there has been a late start (to the season) and the conditions weren’t that great but the num- bers didn’t drop.” From what Greer has seen at Kirby so far, she concurs that skiing is just as popular as ever. “This is still a booming business,” she says. By all indications, the ski season should continue to prosper through the winter months “as long as there is no January thaw,” says Greer. “That could end things abrupt- ly.” Why not give it a try? According to the Canadian Ski Council, t h e r e a r e a n u m b e r o f r e a - sons why people should consider heading to the slopes this season. • Skiing is a great way to spend time with family and friends. It’s a sport and it’s social. • Beginners are made to feel welcome. Beginner and novice skiers make up 15 per cent of the skiers at most ski areas, s o y o u ’ r e i n good company. • Skiing is easy to learn. Certi- fied ski instructors can teach you to ski in a few simple steps. • Skiing is good exercise. It’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors. • Skiing will last you a lifetime. It’s a sport you can enjoy with your parents and kids. • Skiing is great value. Most ski areas offer economical learn-to-ski packages. • Skiing offers super vacation opportunities. Canada’s destination ski resorts are ranked among the best in the world. • Time. Skiing can take as little or as much time as you have. Most ski areas offer flexible ticketing so you can ski by the hour, h a l f - d a y o r at night. BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer If you thought December seemed awfully snowy, you were absolutely right. According to Bryan Smith, a climatologist at Environment Canada’s Ontario Climate Centre, the 94.7 centimetres of the white stuff that fell in De- cember, 2000 was the most recorded in Oshawa, where Environment Canada measures this area’s snowfall, since they started keeping track in 1969. The most snow recorded in previous Decembers was 77.8 centimetres in 1975. “The storm track has been right over southern Ontario, so most of the storms haven’t been missing us,” says Mr. Smith, adding the cold temper- atures we experienced in De- cember — the coldest since 1989 — contributed to the sit- uation. A large percentage of the snow fell during two storms — 20 centimetres on Dec. 12 and 13, with another 20 centime- tres dropping Dec. 30, reports Mr. Smith. And will the rest of winter be as cold and snowy? Mr. Smith says that in 1989, the last time we experienced such a cold December, “Janu- ary and February were quite mild, so it (the weather) might turn” yet. “We will have a better idea in about April,” he says with a laugh. JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo For those looking for a recreational activity in the great outdoors this winter, skiing remains as popular as ever. Ski resorts in Durham Region are experiencing record-breaking numbers at the slopes. At the Oshawa Ski Club located at Mount Kirby in Clarington (from left), Kay- ley Brookson, Taya, Cydney and Gord Cornett from Whitby took advantage of the ideal con- ditions. Catholic school board trustees on Monday approved in principle boundary changes to three Ajax schools to deal with overcrowding at St. Patrick Catholic Elementary School. The changes would take ef- fect this fall and see St. Patrick’s boundaries shrink in size, with the partitioned sec- tions allocated to St. Catherine of Siena and St. Francis de Sales Catholic elementary schools. St. Patrick had an initial en- rolment of 376 students 10 years ago and now has 1,029 students. “There has been a large number of new homes con- structed in the school catch- ment area in recent years,” stated a report from Gerry O’Neill, con- troller of plan- ning for the Durham Catholic District School Board. “This ac- tivity is expected to continue as there is an addi- tional 477 units proposed.” The school has a ministry- rated capacity of 726.5 and cur- rently has six portables. If no changes are made to the boundaries, the school is expect- ed to have 1,040 students this September and up to 1,070 in 2003/2004, stat- ed Mr. O’Neill. As a result, it is proposed the lands north of Rossland Road, plus Bunting Court, Hillside Drive and Birchmount Road become a part of the St. Catherine boundary. And that streets south of and including McNeilage Court (to Kingston Road), and west of Elizabeth Street, be- come part of the St. Francis de Sales boundaries. The changes would see 134 St. Patrick students attend the other two schools. Parents of students who fall within the new western bound- aries but currently attend St. Wilfrid CES in Pickering will have to reapply for cross- boundary privileges, as they do each year. Answering a question from Pickering Trustee Jim McCaf- ferty, Chris Hurst, superinten- dent of Oshawa schools, said “meetings will be set up in all the communities and input will be taken from all (school community) council mem- bers.” Trustee McCafferty also re- ceived confirmation parents will be notified of any changes before June. Mr. O’Neill stressed the changes are not set in stone, and that input from meetings with the school communities will identify any concerns par- ents may have. He expected a final deci- sion from trustees in March or April.

Better Health For a Better Life ADVERTISING FEATURE Northern Cycle 2 x 20 For a moment in time, imagine, that this pulsating planet that we live on, is a school. Lets call it “Earth School.” Imagine, that we don’t just come to Earth School to be born, to live and then to die. Instead we come here to learn life lessons. There are no grades and no one can flunk. Each time you make a decision, that decision creates consequences from which you can learn from. This way of learning is called our life lessons. By imagining that this could be true, we open our self up to the possiblity of why our life has appeared to be so difficult at times and why things appear to happen that we have no control over. Imagine, there is a person named Sarah. Sarah has been struggling for years in her marriage with her hus- band. Sarah decides one day to look at her marriage and quietly says to her- self, “My husband says that he loves me and the kids but he is hardly ever home with us.” “In fact, I have raised our children on my own.” “He has choosen to make his work, his life, not me and the children”, “He is just like my father, he has never been there for us.” “I’m lonely just like my mother was.” What do you think could be Sarah’s life lesson? Lets just imagine, that Sarah deci- ces to remember how it felt when she was a child. She remembers being ignored by her father, so much so that it felt like she had no father. She felt unloved, unappreciated and never felt special. Just imagine, what that would have felt like to be Sarah. Imagine, the amount of tears that Sarah may have shed as a child, feeling not good enough for her daddy to even spend time with her, wondering what was wrong with her, while she was filled with lonliness. Imagine, that Sarah learned to survive her childhood but carried it into her Adulthood and met her pre- sent husband, who for some strange reason. treats her almost like her father did. Imagine, that if Sarah chooses instead of moaning and groaning to her partner, she learns to heal those hurtful feelings of abandonment and of not feeling worthy of having love and attention. Imagine, that while learning to heal within, she creates an inner level of self-love, honour, self respect and learns what her true life purpose is. Through the growth of her inner self confidence and love, Sarah begins to accept her partner exactly as he is. She begins to live the true meaning of the Serenity Prayer, as she learns to accept the things that she cannot change with- in her partner, but she gains the courage to change the things within herself, for the better. Imagine, that Sarah begins to real- ize that her outer world is now begin- ing to reflect her inner strengths. That while she was learning to be more car- ing, loving and accepting of herself and of others, more caring, kind and loving people have begun to fill her life. At this point in Sarah’s life, she has learnt one of her biggest life lessons, “how to love and accept her- self exactly as she is and to attract the same type of loving people into her life.” Wow, just imagine! When you choose to create responsibly, consciously and wisely, that is the path to your own inner self Empowerment and that is the objective of this place called Earth, Imagine! In addition to one-to-one therapy, Heather’s clients have the opportunity to join a Self-Empowerment group, where group members meet on a week- ly basis. Each individual gains inner strength and self confidence from the support of the group therapist, the group members, and from the educa- tional and therapeutic components of the group. This enables their life to change for the better. (Next evening group begins February 2001) See Heather’s advertisement on this page for more information. Call: (905) 509-5000.

Each one of us with regard to food, have different sensitivities. It is rare to find a person without sen- sitivities; this person would have a very strong immune system, and a very well ballanced diet and lifestyle. Sensitivities found may have been present since chilhood, or they can be developed in adult- hood. In a lot of cases, the sensitiv- ities can be omitted with proper cleansing and care of the colon. The colon is responsible for many disorders and is the place where our minerals and vitamins are absorbed into the body. If constipation and or diar- rhea have been experienced over a long period of time, chances are that nutrient absorption is compro- mised and the digestive tract needs attention. The cleaness of the colon is essential to good health, just as clean oil to an engine. How often do you cleanse your digestive tract? Care of the digestive tract will also boost the immune system! A test can be done to put you on the path to wellness. An Electro-dermal (Interro) screening exposes food sensitivities, and a sensitivity report of 220 foods is provided. This report is your fun- damental understanding of how to honour your system. The report identies: 1.Foods to be consumed in moder- ation 2.Foods to be avoided 3.Foods that are okay 4.Foods that are beneficial Test time is 1 hour & No nee- dles are used!

We know what we should do, and we even know how we should do it. So why are so many of us not experi- encing the lifestyles that we want, or achieving the goals that we set? I have been teaching people to set goals and man- age change in their lives for many years now, and I have always been searching for a simple solution to help people get the results they want. And I have finally found it. It is a very simple solution, and it is exceptionally effective. The problem with this simple and effective solution for achieving goals and manag- ing change, is that it is so sim- ple, most people often dis- count it before making any effort because it is "too sim- ple." What I would like to do in this article is to share this simple solution with you in the hope that you will use it as a highly effective tool in changing your live. The solution is based on the belief that you are where you are by choice. In order to change where you are going in the future you must make a choice to facili- tate that change. Unfortunately, our conscious choice, and all our actions, are strongly influenced by our unconscious minds. This means that we must look to our unconscious minds to cre- ate any meaningful and last- ing change. You may want to create changes so you can make more money, loose some weight, or start a new busi- ness. Regardless of what it is you want, your ability to achieve it rests in your uncon- scious mind. And that is where you must focus your efforts. If you can change the beliefs held in your uncon- scious mind, then that change will influence your conscious thoughts, and direct all your actions and behaviours towards your desired out- comes. In order to create change in your unconscious mind you must begin by ask- ing yourself the following question. "What is it that has prevented me from experienc- ing what ever it is I want up until this point in my life?" Whatever it is, this belief must be changed before you will be able to achieve whatever it is you want in the future. If you change this belief, you will change your future. As an example, if we were to look at someone who was interested in making more money, but they believed things like; "money can't buy happiness" and "money is the root of all evil", can you see how this person would have a difficult time creating large amounts of money? Every time they got themselves on the right track, something would kick in at the unconscious level that said "STOP THAT." "You want to be happy, and you are not a bad person, so stay away from that evil money." That unconscious program- ming would stop the positive actions that were generating the money, and force this per- son to start all over again. Sound familiar? However, once these limiting beliefs have been changed, and this person no longer sabotages their money making efforts, everything improves. Can you see how this single change can signifi- cantly increase their chances for creating wealth in their life? There are many effec- tive ways to change limiting beliefs. One easy and fun way is to imagine yourself as a child, before efforts, held any of your limiting beliefs. See yourself at that time when anything was possible. Allow yourself to feel the expe- rience deep inside that says you can achieve anything you choose. Now bring your attention forward to the present while holding onto that belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind too. Notice how you feel. Also notice how you feel about your experienced at some point in your life. You may need to repeat this exer- cise several times before you feel com- fortable holding onto your new belief, but it is definitely worth the effort. Now notice how you approach your goals in a different way. How you feel different about achieving your goals. And most importantly, notice how that self talk going on inside your head is far more encouraging. Practice this approach in all areas that you feel are limiting your advance- ment, and enjoy how your results change to reflect your new empowering beliefs.

Better Health ADVERTISING FEATURE2001 2001 Managing Your Weight - A New Year’s Resolution? We are into a new year and once again we begin making our new year’s resolutions. For some, the new year’s resolution we most want to succeed with is losing weight. I feel there are six keys to achieve success and maintain weight loss: 1)Balance your body chem- istry - Many people’s systems are out of balance from eating too much refined sugar and refined flour. Get rid of it. Getting a prop- er balance of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is essential. Most people are getting far too many carbohydrate foods for the amount of exercise they do (or aren’t doing). Protein is essential to building lean muscle tissue. 2)Eat the Good Fats! - Essential fats like fish oil, flax oil, evening primrose oil, borage oil, black currant oil and fresh nuts and seeds are the only fats you need. These fats are great because they not only make your skin, hair, nails and arteries healthier, but they help your body burn your own fat. 3)Lose fat not Lean weight - It is imperative to have your body fat v.s. lean muscle measured throughout a weight loss regime. You want to be sure you are losing the fat from your body and not the muscle. The scales only tell part of the story. 4)Water! - You should be drinking one half of your body weight in ounces of water per day (not to exceed 100 oz.) For exam- ple. a 120 lb. person should drink 60 oz. of water per day. 5)Cleansing - Most people need to address areas in their bod- ies where toxins accumulate, i.e. the colon, liver, or kidneys. Toxins store in fat cells! For many, weight loss can be impeded if this issue is not addressed. Herbs are one of the best ways to cleanse toxins from the body. 6)Exercise - Not enough can be said about exercise in this article. The best way to attain and main- tain a healthy weight is to combine a good diet with exercise. Walking, jogging, yoga, home gyms, sports, etc. Just get up off the couch and move your body at least 30 minutes a day 3-4 times a week. My weight loss programme is a ten visit programme spanning five months. I do a thorough nutri- tional analysis, body fat testing, make vitamin and cleansing recom- mendations, look at the thyroid’s role in weight loss and of course start you on a healthy balanced diet to help kick start your body into fat burning mode. If you are interest- ed in the programme please call 905-420-1443 to book an appoint- ment.

We should be used to it, though. Let’s face it; Canada has not dominated the international stage for years -- not on any level. That said, I still think the WJC is an amazing tournament from the standpoint it allows us to see many of the players who could dominate in the NHL in the near future. I try to not take the event too seriously. That’s why I changed my mind about throwing myself in front of a subway when Canada lost the semi-final to Finland. (Finland, for crying out loud!). Okay, Okay, it’s not fun to joke about, well, you know what I mean. Let’s just say the loss hurt. And add to that winning the bronze medal was only a small consolation. Nonetheless, it was indeed a great tournament and here are some of the impressions I took away from the event: 1. Jason Spezza might be a superb 17-year-old in the Ontario League, but he has a long way to go to prove to me he’ll be a great NHLer. His offensive instincts, especially in terms of play: making, were, at times, awe- inspiring. His foot speed and defensive play? That’s another story. The WJC is regarded as a tournament that highlights the abilities of 18- and 19-year-olds and Spezza did little to discount that theory. The fact he made the tournament all-star team is a joke. Canada’s Jamie Lundmark deserved the honor ahead of Spezza. 2. What can you say about the Czech Republic? They have won the past two WJC titles; they won the Olympic gold medal; they produced Jaromir Jagr and Dominik Hasek. Even if we had beaten the Finns in the semifinal, I doubt we would have defeated the Czechs. 3. Russian Ilia Kovaltchuk, who is in a two-horse race with Spezza for the honor of being the No. 1 pick in the 2001 NHL entry draft, showed amazing skill and speed, but turned more than a few people off with his hot-dogging. He has more flair than Spezza does, no doubt about that, but Spezza comes across as being level headed, which should make him the No. 1 pick. 4. Regardless of Canada’s third place finish, I’ll still look forward with great anticipation to next year’s event. Next to the Olympics (with NHL participation), it is the best hockey tournament in the world. (Mike Brophy is senior write for The Hockey News).

Susan creates a three dimen- sional casting impression of your child’s hands and feet, bronzed and framed. “It’s a gift that lasts forever,” says Susan. “It captures the size, shape and personal lines and wrinkles of your child’s hands or feet.” Once you’ve decided to pur- chase this unique creation, Susan will invite you into her home where she will take your child’s impression. parents can also be part of the process and can add their hand impressions to accom- pany their child. You can personalize your gift even more by having an engraved nameplate on the frame. You should allow up to 2 weeks for the impression to be completed but rush orders can be done for an additional fee as well as home visits. Susan’s customers love her work. Here are some of their tes- timonials: “”I sent a set to my father-in- law overseas as a birthday gift. He was in tears...He said, it was the next best thing to being here with them.” When we have visitors in our home, their temptation to touch is inevitable. Friends and family just love them and we are proud to show them off.” You can see many samples of Susan’s work and aside from chil- dren she can also have your dog impressions made. Gift certificates are available for showers, Mother’s and Father’s Day, Baptisms, Godparents. Also remember that Christmas is coming. What better give to give someone you love?

We don’t have junior hock- ey there, we just have midget hockey and that’s when you stop.” Ironically, this year is only his third season of playing ice hockey at any level. Johnson played roller hockey back home for seven years before exchang- ing his wheels for blades. “I went to a hockey school with some of the (National Hockey League’s Anaheim Mighty) Ducks players and I signed up to play ice hockey the next season,” noted Johnson, who added ice hockey runs a poor second to roller hockey in California as there are only three public ice rinks in Anaheim. He played a season of bantam ‘AA’ hockey with the South Coast Sabres organization. Last year, Johnson received his first taste of junior hockey in Canada, playing half a season with the Waxers before returning home. His former hockey coach in California, Jim Thomson, who now lives in Canada and works with Panthers’ head coach Brian Blad, recommended Johnson to Blad. After getting an invite to the club’s training camp in mid- August, the gritty forward worked his way on to the Pan- thers’ roster. He’s currently being billeted with an area fami- ly. So far, Johnson is enjoying a fairly productive season. In 20 games as of Dec. 16, the 195- pound, six-foot winger has recorded seven goals and 11 as- sists for 18 points while playing most of the time on a line with John Buscema and Matt Garisto. “Yeah, I really like it. It’s been a lot of fun,” said Johnson, who admits that while the play- ers are faster and stronger than what he experienced in Califor- nia, he’s learning how to adapt to the Canadian game. “I think I’ve improved and learned a lot. I think my knowledge of the game has improved the most.” Panthers’ general manager Cliff Long noted Johnson has been a welcome addition to the lineup, not only for his grit and determination, but also because his game continues to improve. “He’s a good addition to our lineup for the toughness and the team chemistry. He’ll just get better as the year goes on and next year he’ll be even better. He plays really tough in the corners for us,” said Long. As for the future, Johnson said he hopes to “do something in hockey”, but he’s unsure whether it will lead him to a scholarship or the pros one day. Currently, he’s hoping to help the Panthers get to the playoffs and prolong his stay on the ice. “Yeah, I’ll be going back to California (after the season), but hopefully we’ll go far in the playoffs so I won’t have to go back for a while,” he said. Don Johnson starring in Pickering California native producing solid numbers in first year with Panthers A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo California native Don Johnson, 17, joined the Pickering Pan- thers this year, and has put together a decent rookie season for the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club. It’s only Johnson’s third year of playing ice hockey, as he played roller hockey in Anaheim Hills, Ca. for seven years before giving up his wheels for blades. It may have only been the second win of the regular season for the Durham Clearnet Lightning, but it was a big win nonetheless last Saturday night. The Clearnet Lightning were full value for a 6-1 win over the visiting Ot- tawa Raiders in National Women’s Hockey League play at the Ajax Com- munity Centre. Although the Lightning offence has struggled to score this season, the team came ready to play and by the end of the first period held a 3-0 lead. Two power-play goals in the second made it 5-0. The teams traded goals in the final 20 minutes to end the scoring. The Lightning outshot the Raiders by a large margin and the play was heavily in Clearnet’s favour in the first and third periods with the squads play- ing even in the middle frame. “The team has played some very strong games this season but has come out on the short end of the stick; main- ly because we got stoned by a hot goal- tender or just couldn’t put the puck in the net,” noted Clearnet general manag- er Bill Williamson. “Saturday night was different — the offence was in gear.” Sarah Couch, as she has been sever- al times this year, was a standout in net, making many big saves when called upon. Melissa Harris scored twice, while Theresa Ella, Kathy Ryckman, Sarah Reid and Jessica Allen notched singles. Assisting were Reid with three, Katie Quinn with two, and Allen, Elizabeth Chiasson, Ella, Karen Bell and Sandy Cameron, all with one. The Lightning have an uphill battle in their remaining league games to catch the Toronto Sting for the final playoff spot in the West Division stand- ings. Durham is nine points back with 12 games to play. The next home game for the Light- ning is against the Mississauga Ice Bears at the Ajax Community Centre Tuesday, Jan. 16 at 7:30 p.m. BY BRIAN McNAIR Staff Writer Some of the world’s best curlers will be in Oshawa next month for the 2001 M&M Meats Shops Skins Curling Championship. Former world champs Wayne Middaugh, Glen Howard, Jeff Stoughton and Kerry Burt- nyk will skip four of the eight teams vying for a share of $75,000 in prize money on Friday, Feb. 2 to Sunday, Feb. 4. The event returns to the Oshawa Golf Club after a two-year absence with a new sponsor and a more exciting format. Sponsored by GM Goodwrench and featur- ing only Ontario teams during its stay in Os- hawa from 1996 to 1998, the event is now spon- sored by M&M Meats and involves four of the top teams from eastern Canada against four of the best from the west. “The east/west rivalry in Canada is fierce and this is why we do it this way,” Paul Savage of Max Event Management Group said during a press conference to kick off the event. The format will guarantee an east team meets a west team in the final. Popular Quebe- cer Guy Hemmings, a two-time Brier finalist, and Peter Corner will join Middaugh and Howard on the east side while Kevin Martin, a two-time Brier champ and 1999 Skins winner, and Allan Lyburn will be on the west side along with Stoughton and Burtnyk. “What people don’t understand about this is how much fun it is,” said Graeme McCarrel, a member of the Middaugh rink which enters as defending champs after winning it all in Scar- borough last year. “When you curl as long as we have, you be- come friends,” McCarrel said of the competing teams. “There are certainly rivalries there, but there’s also a lot of camaraderie.” The skins format is an exciting one as teams with the final rock, or hammer as it is common- ly known, must take two points to win an end while the team without the hammer must take one point to earn a skin. “It’s a treat to play a different style of game, a very aggressive game with lots of rocks in play,” said Scott Foster, who started curling in Oshawa at the age of six and is now lead curler for Corner’s Hamilton team. The Skins event left Oshawa for Calgary in 1999 as the west versus east format was tried for the first time. It came back east to Scarborough last year and was to be held near M&M’s main office in Kitchener this year, but the television logistics couldn’t be worked out. All seven games will be broadcast live on CTV SportsNet beginning with an eastern quar- ter-final at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 2, and con- cluding with the championship game at 6 p.m. East-west showdown sweeps toward Durham ‘I think I’ve improved and learned a lot.

Read up at www.durhamnews.netAJAX —The Ajax United Eclipse girls’ under-12 rep indoor soccer team played to a 1-1 draw with East York in recent North York Hearts Indoor Soccer League play in Downsview. The Eclipse faced their strongest opponent to date and gave an excellent dis- play of precision passing in holding the East Yorkers to a draw. Ajax opened the scoring in the first half after some strong passing by the for- wards culminated in a goal by Cassy Melnike. Beth Shallhorn drew an assist. East York took advantage of a tiring Eclipse defence in the second half to score the tying goal. Goalkeeper Jessica Dolhan had no chance on the shot. Samantha Tkalec played her best game of the season and was the out- standing player for the Eclipse. Pam Ogle, along with Courtney Quinn and Melissa Nicholls, con- trolled the midfield through most of the game. Melnike shone up front and was ably assisted by Shallhorn. Dolhan again had an ex- cellent game. She has con- ceded only two goals in the past six games, giving her the best goals against record in the North York league.
