Study points to status quo No change in Durham government suggested BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING — Maintaining the status quo is the only reasonable governance option for the Region right now, according to a new study. The Berkeley Consulting Group, which was retained by the cities of Pickering and Oshawa last fall to develop and evaluate a number of governance options for Durham, re- leased its draft report to the two mu- nicipalities late Monday. And, while the 55-page report, ‘A Made-in-Durham Governance Solution’, suggests creating two or three single-tier cities in Durham could be viable options for the fu- ture, the consultants maintain the current governance structure is the best route for Durham in the short term. The draft report indicates it’s too soon to settle on a future governance model given that it will likely take five years or more for the new role of the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) to evolve. “The decision concerning which model makes sense for Durham in the longer-term turns very much on how the GTSB evolves,” the report states, noting if the GTSB does not assume additional powers, then the current two-tier structure may con- tinue here. But, if the GTSB does evolve to oversee some GTA-wide services Pickering gun club takes aim at new location PICKERING —The Pickering Rod and Gun Club could soon have a new home in north Pickering. The City’s executive com- mittee approved a recommen- dation Monday to allow the club to establish a shooting range on lands north of Taunton Road, between Side- line 22 and Brock Road. “The club was moved off their original site because of (Hwy.) 407,” said Ward 3 Re- gional Councillor Rick John- son, who urged his colleagues to support the motion. “We now have an opportunity, with the Province, to offer them an- other location.” According to a staff report, the club, which has a 42-year See GOVERNANCE page 5 See RURAL page 5 P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 20, 2001 BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —It’s the late 1600s, fur trading is big and Euro- peans are starting to visit what would later be known as Pickering. The Seneca, an Iroquois tribe originally from the New York area, are living around the Rouge River in the village ‘Ganatsekwyagon’. Fast-forward to 2001 and some Pickering residents may recognize the name Ganatsekwyagon, which has a variety of spellings, because of its ties to Gandatsetiagon Public School in Pickering’s west end. The school was given the name because the village is believed to be the site of the first school in the GTA. Historical maps and written ac- counts of the time confirm the vil- lage’s existence, although its exact location is unknown. Different maps pinpoint different spots, but most agree it was on the north shore of Lake Ontario and the east side of the Rouge. Pickering resident Marian Mar- tin has been researching the village for three years, and, based on maps and artifacts found in the area, be- lieves it was located by the mouth of the Rouge. Ms. Martin learned of the arti- facts through speaking with Lionel Purcell, president of the Scarbor- ough Historical Society. “I asked Purcell if he had seen any of the Bead Hill (another possi- ble Seneca site) artifacts,” said Ms. Martin. “He said ‘no’, but he has some artifacts from the mouth of the Rouge River (found) more then half a century ago.” Mr. Purcell received the artifacts from the late Gerald Cowan in 1943. Mr. Cowan was a descendent of one of Pickering’s early settlers. His family moved to the Rouge River area in 1833 and one of his relatives started the name Rosebank after his farm. Mr. Purcell, who in 1943 was a real estate agent, had met Mr. Cowan a few times on business. According to Mr. Purcell, Mr. Cowan told him he had dug up ar- rowheads, skinning knives, a skin- ning stone and flint stones while plowing his farm years earlier. Mr. Purcell recalls being told, “They were just like stones popping up.” For Mr. Purcell, the artifacts confirmed Indian activity in the area. To Ms. Martin the artifacts are hard evidence of a native village she believes to be Ganatsekwyagon. But some believe the artifacts are too old to have belonged to the Seneca. “(There is) nothing in that col- lection, as it exists today, that I would relate to the site of Ganatsek- wyagon,” said Dr. William Fin- layson, who has worked in archeol- ogy for over 30 years. After review- ing pictures, he estimates they are about 3,000 years old. He does, however, believe the historical maps and documents show Ganatsekwyagon on the east side of the Rouge. “(But) historical maps can be wrong,” he cautioned. “We know it existed, the ques- tion is where?” asked Dr. Finlayson who thinks archeological studies should be done on the site which is now viewed as disturbed because of development done over the last cen- tury. He also thinks Ms. Martin has built a compelling argument to dis- prove the Bead Hill site, where some believe Ganatsekwyagon was located. An archeological dig on that site produced a French coin minted in 1655 and trading beads among other artifacts. The area was pro- nounced a Nationally Historic Site in 1993. Tom Mohr, president of the Pickering Historical Society, be- lieves the site has produced more evidence than others but he’s not positive it is Ganatsekwyagon. He has no doubt, however, the site by the mouth of the Rouge had Seneca activity and is culturally important. While no one knows for sure where Ganatsekwyagon was locat- ed, many agree the Rouge site is historically important, and thus, should be preserved. Most of the land around this site is or was owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). In 1975 the TRCA re- leased a conceptual plan stating the area was “historically important” and referred directly to Ganatsek- wyagon. But in the 1990s the TRCA de- clared much of the area’s land as surplus and in May 1998, sent a let- ter to the general manager of Rouge Park stating, “We are not aware of any historical settlement in this vicinity.” The letter was in response to one sent to the TRCA about dis- posal of land in the area. Larry Field, a waterfront special- ist with the TRCA, said the land was deemed surplus because it was not required to make a trail connec- tion to Petticoat Creek Conserva- tion Area. He added, “The land that we deemed to be surplus (had) former buildings, so (it) had already been disturbed.” Mr. Field also stated the decision was not solely the TRCA’s. “What was deemed to be surplus was ratified by the community; it was not just our decision,” he said. Some of the TRCA’s profits from the sale have gone to purchase more of the area’s waterfront prop- erty. Regardless of the TRCA’s rea- sons, Ms. Martin feels a precedent has been set and fears more devel- opment in the area. The City of Pickering is working on its own plan for the area. As part of the ‘Millennium Trail’ project, the First Nations Trail will run from the Rouge River to Frenchman’s Bay. The trail is one of three includ- ed in the project. The committee working on the project wants different stations along the trail to depict different eras in Pickering’s past, one of which is called The Iroquois and Gandatsetiagon. Many feel the Rouge area is cul- turally important regardless of the village and that the waterfront should be preserved for the public. Mr. Mohr said he would like to see a national historical plaque stat- ing the village of Ganatsekwyagon was located nearby. “(The area is important) because it’s part of who we are as citizens of Pickering,” he said, “Those who came before us helped to shape the community we live in.” Ms. Martin agrees. “Heritage benchmarks and cul- tural landscapes are needed to make history come alive, to provide a sense of place or identity — not only for ourselves, but for future generations.” For more information on Ganat- sekwyagon visit Ms. Martin’s Web site at www.blackhole.ca.

While doubt remains, significance of historic Pickering area village unquestionableStudent swarmed, beaten at Dunbarton PICKERING —An 18-year- old student was attacked this week by 15 to 20 youths who were armed with a pipe, a shovel and a bottle. Durham Regional Police said the mob confronted and swarmed the teenager as he was getting out of his car in the parking lot at Dunbarton High School at about 2:20 p.m. Thursday. The victim was hit in the back of the head with the bottle, cut- ting him for two stitches, while another assailant struck him in the hip with a steel pipe. A shovel-wielding youth also smashed the victim’s car wind- shield before the mob took off on foot, headed west on Sheppard Avenue, police said. The shovel and pipe were re- covered at the scene. Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman, said the victim, from Pickering, was taken to the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre and treated and released. One suspect was arrested Friday and police are hopeful of more. “We’d like to identify all of the people who were involved,” said Sgt. Malik, adding the suspects were between the ages of 18 and 20. Vishal Rampaderat, 18, of Scarborough, is charged with as- sault causing bodily harm, as- sault with a weapon and posses- sion of a dangerous weapon. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police.

PICKERING NEWS BRIEFS May 20, 2001 Public, Catholic boards say increased funding still not enough BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM ––The region’s school boards are warning of service cuts in the coming year after the release of educa- tion funding amounts. The general legislative grants deter- mine how much money school boards will receive for the next school year. And, while local MPPs in a press release said education funding in Durham is up over $17 million, board officials ques- tioned the numbers and the increased flexibility in spending what the Province says it is giving boards. The news release highlighted the funding given boards for local priorities, but David Visser, business superinten- dent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, at Monday night’s board meeting suggested the implication that the money can be spent however the board wishes is misleading. “Although the ministry says boards have more flexibility with that money, it can’t just be applied for whatever a com- munity would like,” he said. “There are things that we must use it towards... be- yond the control of the board.” Employee salaries, benefits, infla- tionary costs, transportation costs and school operations will all have to be funded from the board’s estimated $2.47 million in local priorities money, said Mr. Visser. And it’s not enough. “That 2.4 million could be spent two or three times over; that’s the challenge we’re going to face for the coming year,” he said. Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski asked if that means less services com- pared to last year. “That’s a fair comment,” replied edu- cation director Grant Andrews. The board estimates it will receive a total of $2.83 million more funding than last year, including about $366,000 for increased enrolment. Ron Trbovich, business superinten- dent at the Durham District School Board, said the MPPs’announcement of $16.3 million more for the public board was incorrect. The Province used five- month-old enrolment projections, he said. Mr. Trbovich estimates the board will actually receive $6.4 million in local priorities funding and $1 million for enrolment growth, for a total of a $7.4 million funding increase. He said there is no increase from the Province for salaries and benefits and in fact there has been no increase in oper- ating grants for the last four years. “That $6.4 million doesn’t go very far,” he said. Mr. Trbovich also predicted service cuts, likely in the area of central admin- istration, which provides support to schools. “There will be (cuts); there’s no question,” he said. But he did not criticize education spending levels, noting the Province is faced with declining revenue and pres- sures from other sectors. “I think we have to accept that we have to live within our means,” said Mr. Trbovich. “It’s going to be difficult, but not impossible.” Trustees have identified priorities in this budget year, including “at least bringing in an adequate salary adjust- ment” for board employees, said Mr. Tr- bovich. As well, an estimated operating bud- get surplus of about $1.1 million is ear- marked for special education.

P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 20, 2001 Home invasion accused faces three new charges Pickering man charged by police in connection with Toronto incident BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A suspect in a Pick- ering home invasion, in which a key witness was recently murdered, is now charged with a Toronto street robbery. Cosmo Joseph Jacobson, 25, of Pickering, was charged on Friday with robbery and two counts of possession of stolen property, police said. The charges stem from a mugging in December 1999 in which two masked men sprayed a victim with mace and stole a quantity of jewelry. Sergeant Paul Malik said police seized some of the stolen jewellery in Durham Region last week as part of an ongoing investigation by homicide squad detectives. Mr. Jacobson, also known as Avi Mundy, was arrested at Whitby Jail, where he is being held without bail on charges in a June 2000 home invasion in Pickering. He was brought to Os- hawa court for a brief appearance Fri- day. A second unidentified suspect is still sought in the mugging and anyone with information is asked to call Durham Regional Police at 905-683- 8773. Last month, after a preliminary hearing, Mr. Jacobson was ordered to stand trial on charges of robbery, break and enter, use of a firearm during a crime, wearing a disguise for criminal intent, using a stolen credit card, two counts of forcible confinement and possession of a controlled substance. He is alleged to have been one of three masked bandits who, police said at the time, burst into a Major Oaks Drive residence armed with a handgun, handcuffed, assaulted and robbed a woman and her 20-year-old son. The case attracted attention after a key witness for the prosecution was killed three days prior to his scheduled testimony at the preliminary hearing. Roy Jones, a 28-year-old security guard at the Metro East Trade Centre, was confronted near his Twilley Lane home in Ajax while walking home on the night of Feb. 7, chased onto Pick- ering Beach Road and shot several times. Homicide detectives have yet to make an arrest and last week Carmen Jones made an emotional appeal for anyone with information about her son’s slaying, to come forward to po- lice. Investigators believe Mr. Jones’s killing was not random, but have not said if they believe his death is con- nected to his role in the case. Mr. Jacobson, meanwhile, is sched- uled to appear in Whitby’s Superior Court of Justice next Tuesday to ap- peal his detention. Crime Stoppers seeks armed robbers PICKERING —Crime Stoppers and Durham Regional Police are look- ing for help in finding three men in- volved in an armed robbery earlier this year. On Feb. 1 around 5 a.m., three men entered the Mac’s Milk store at 893 Bayly St. in Pickering before one man produced a shotgun while the other two went behind the counter and demanded the store clerk open the safe. When the clerk said he couldn’t open the safe, one of the suspects began punching him in the head and face. While one man held the clerk at gun- point and acted as a lookout, the other two took cash and cigarettes. The three men fled the scene on foot, but were captured on the store’s security video. All three suspects are described as black. One wore a dark blue hooded winter coat and the others wore long pants and coats that are described as dark on the bottom with white in the middle and possibly red on the top. All three wore hoods. Crime Stoppers will pay cash for any information leading to an arrest in this incident. Callers never have to give their name and Crime Stoppers does not use call display. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477 or 1-800-222-TIPS. Tax Elimination Strategies Seminar You’ve worked hard to accumulate your family’s wealth.

Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said Tuesday he’s not surprised the report isn’t definitive in recom- mending a governance model. “Until there is some degree of clarity in respect to the role of the GTSB, it remains difficult to firm up a governance model,” the mayor said, noting he agrees with the con- sultants’ belief that a model involv- ing fewer governments in Durham is logical in the long-term. “That’s quite consistent with my view,” Mayor Arthurs said. Although the City isn’t actively pursuing amalgamation with Ajax right now, the mayor says he be- lieves it simply makes sense for Pickering and Ajax to merge. “Pickering and Ajax, in my view, remains a no-brainer... it still makes sense,” he said. The consultants also recom- mended that politicians avoid ex- panding Regional services and that area municipalities should work to- gether to realize efficiencies in ser- vice delivery. The report argues that the origi- nal motion Regional councillors ap- proved at the Fern Resort last year when they supported a slimmed down Region, is the right way to go. The report also suggests that with an emerging GTSB, a number of Regional functions should be re- viewed, such as the Region’s role in planning. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said Monday the report “didn’t tell me anything I did- n’t expect... the Region will be pleased.” He noted the fact that the consultants pointed to the newly amalgamated Pickering-Ajax transit service as a model for municipal re- structuring was positive. “It does stress partnerships, which is impor- tant,” Coun. Brenner said. According to a staff report pre- sented to councillors last fall, the total cost of the study was $90,000 with the City contributing $37,000. GOVERNANCE from page 1 Rural area targeted for gun club RURAL from page 1 history in Pickering, approached the City for help in securing a new loca- tion after they recently lost their club facilities located on the south side of Hwy. 7 just west of Brougham due to the highway’s construction. The recommended area for the club’s new location, which would in- clude a portable clubhouse, is a 10- acre parcel of land owned by the Province. The club has proposed the shooting range will be open to mem- bers from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily with extended hours to 8 p.m. in the sum- mer. It will be open to members of the public on weekends from May to De- cember. Council will consider the mo- tion Tuesday. Over 5,000 Home Decor Products!

Please let me convey my heartfelt thanks, via your newspaper, to the Region- al councillors who had the courage and for- titude to turn down funding for our local hospitals. Would I care to contribute more in taxes to support local health care? Ab- solutely, but not out of my property taxes; the cash has to come from the Province. It would have been easy for Regional council to cave on this issue, but they did not — thank goodness. Instead of doing nothing, as your editorial indicates, coun- cillors in fact took a rare stand on principle and made a very difficult decision. You want hospital funding? We all do.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com It seems like just yesterday that Stockwell Day was the un- contested leader of the Canadian Alliance, destined to ride the Liberals out of government and establish a new right-wing voice in Ottawa. It was less than a year ago Alliance rank-and-file members elected the former Alberta treasurer to the leadership post of the new, improved Reform party over founder Preston Manning. But times have changed for Mr. Day and his party. The Alliance meltdown, which has seen party stalwarts Chuck Strahl, Art Hanger and others suspended from caucus, is bad news for Canada. Now, instead of two right-wing parties, there could be three if this group grows big enough, with a floundering Mr. Day leading a seriously weakened Alliance and Joe Clark continuing on as Progressive Conservative leader. This turf war on the right betrays the hopes of more than 75,000 voters in four Durham ridings during last November’s election. Those citizens put an X beside either a Progressive Conservative or Canadian Alliance candidate’s name, clearly showing their preference for a right-wing alternative to the in- cumbent Liberal. Now, instead of splitting right-wing votes two ways, there will likely be three choices on the ballot. This has to be the best news yet for Durham Liberal MPs Dan McTeague (Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge), Judi Longfield (Whitby-Ajax), Ivan Grose (Oshawa) and Alex Shepherd (Durham). The inability of the Alliance to figure out exactly who it wants to lead it and what it wants to do, serves as a betrayal to millions of Canadians. The ineffective attempt to woo Conser- vatives into a united alternative was strike one in its effort. Strike two was the weak federal election campaign that saw the Alliance fail to make much of an impact east of the Manitoba border. Strike three is the ongoing strife and embarrassment in the Stockwell Day death watch. It’s time for the right to go back to the drawing board in an attempt to find a way — as Republicans have done so effec- tively in the United States — to establish a diverse right-of-cen- tre party that has room for a wide range of opinions and beliefs. Joe Clark says his party is the way, but voting results and the place of the PCs in Parliament over the last three elections sug- gest otherwise. An effective, united strong opposition is necessary to keep the government honest and to provide a viable alternative come election time. Canadians do not have that choice now. That’s a shame. Durham could wake up from its extracurricular activities nightmare this fall. Activities have slowly returned to local secondary schools since most teachers stopped coaching teams and supervising clubs almost four years ago. But while some schools can boast a number of activities, others have few, if any. Teachers have consistently said the 6.5-of-eight-classes workload gives them no time for extra duties. At the same time, the Province was adamant the workload would not be reduced. Trenches were dug, both sides set up camp and it seemed there was no way to overcome the stale- mate. This should all change after a stunning, unprecedented reversal by the provincial government on the issue of teaching time. No one expected the government to give, but they did. Not by reducing the workload, but by including more in the definition of teaching, like on- calls and supervisory duties. Four months ago on this page I stated the only way for this mess to be resolved was for the government to compromise since they held all the cards. They have found a creative way to do so and should be congrat- ulated, even though it took far too long for Durham students and par- ents. The government’s hand was forced when Durham’s crisis became a provincewide crisis. But, while most people agreed the government’s move was a positive one, teachers, parents and students are on hold. The teaching time changes have to be ironed out with the province’s teachers’ unions, put in writing and legislated. If this oc- curs, the ball is definitely in the teachers’court. Early last year public high school teachers were urging the school board to come to the bargaining table and reach a collective agreement be- cause the government was poised to narrow the definition of teaching time. Teaching time was further clar- ified, and the board and teachers alike complained there was little, if any, flexibility to work out a contract agreement. Well, the recent government an- nouncement would suggest we’re going back in time to early last year. Beyond working out the details, it remains to be seen how local educa- tors will respond, if indeed they are given a timetable that allows time for voluntary activities. A terrible atmos- phere has existed in high schools here, with teachers, students and par- ents all in conflict with one another. And remember, Durham’s public high school teachers still don’t have a collective agreement and have ‘pink- listed’ the Durham District School Board, in essence urging their col- leagues not to apply for jobs here. For the good of the students, let’s hope old grudges don’t stand in the way. For students’sake, let’s hope old grudges don’t die hard How will Durham high school teachers respond to Province’s change to instructional time?

Crime Stoppers needs you to succeed BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM - The numbers are enough to make any criminal cringe. In 15 years of existence, Durham Region- al Crime Stoppers has played a role in 2,154 arrests for a total of 4,928 charges and 2,023 crimes solved. During that time, anonymous tips have led police to the recovery of $3,826,386 worth of stolen goods and the seizure of $13 million in illegal drugs. As the program marks its 15th anniversary this month, more than statistics alone, it’s the satisfaction of safer streets and saving tax dollars that motivates the 20 volunteer, civil- ian directors of the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers board. Like the confidential callers to the pro- gram, the members who administer Crime Stoppers come from all walks of life - rang- ing from blue collar workers, small business owners, corporate executives, lawyers and teachers - and work in relative anonymity, with little fanfare or public credit. Which is just fine with Chairman Tom Russell, the 59-year-old Oshawa resident and former cop in his native England. “We reli- giously show up for meetings, do our job and go back to our communities. The success of the program is what drives us,” says the re- tired Ontario Hydro employee, who has chaired the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers board since 1994. Maintaining the integrity of the program is vital to its success, therefore the public never hears when a Crime Stoppers tip leads to a break in a case. “It’s very gratifying when a case is solved through a Crime Stoppers tip. There is noth- ing in it for us, other than a sense of satisfac- tion in knowing an arrest has been made or a gun is taken off the street. We realize, in this day and age, with their limited resources, the police can’t do it all themselves. And by helping the police solve some crimes quicker, it means they can free up resources and, in the end, the program saves tax dollars,” says Mr. Russell. The program is funded by public and cor- porate donations and tipsters are offered a cash reward of up to $1,000 for any informa- tion leading to an arrest. “We like to issue rewards, because re- wards mean success,” Mr. Russell says, smil- ing. Since its inception, Durham Crime Stop- pers has authorized payment of $127,000 in tip money, however, less than half that cash has been collected. “By and large, we find that callers are more often than not seeking the anonymity, rather than the reward,” says Durham Region- al Police Sergeant Kevin Slaney, the 28-year veteran officer and supervisor of the program. Crime Stoppers tips have played a role in solving crimes involving the entire ‘criminal spectrum,’ ranging from murders, robberies and sexual assaults to assaults, frauds, thefts and mischief, Sgt. Slaney says. However, given the confidentiality of the sources - obviously they cannot be called on in court - the police are limited in how they use the tip information. “Crime Stoppers only provides informa- tion, it is not evidence. It’s used as an inves- tigative tool. A great deal of the time (the in- formation) provided has moved an investiga- tion along in cases where the investigators had no leads, or turned their heads in another direction,” Sgt. Slaney says. The program’s roots can be traced back to July 1976 in New Mexico, USA. Michael Carmen, a young gas station attendant who was two weeks away from marrying his high school sweetheart, was shot to death during a robbery of the gas station where he was work- ing. When the killers’ trail went cold after six weeks, the lead police detective on the case, Greg MacAleese, originally from Ontario, is- sued an appeal to the community seeking leads. The violent crime rate in the city of Albu- querque, where the murder occurred, was ex- tremely high at the time and to counter the community’s apathy and fear, Det. MacAleese offered anonymity to callers and a cash reward as an incentive to anyone with information about the murder. The appeal was televised; the response was immediate. Within 72 hours, two sus- pects were in police custody for the killing and other area robberies. Now, 25 years later, there are more than 1,000 Crime Stoppers “partnerships” linking the public, media and police in 16 countries. Crimes are highlighted in newspapers, re- enacted in television broadcasts and, starting a year ago, profiled weekly on the Crime Stoppers Web site. Sgt. Slaney says the key to Crime Stoppers is the anonymity. In an ideal society, citizens would report any information about criminal activity to the police directly. “In reality, however, that just doesn’t hap- pen,” he explains. “The beauty of Crime Stoppers is that it is a community-based program... And Crime Stoppers affords people in the community who would not ordinarily come forward to the police the opportunity to pass on their in- formation while maintaining their anonymi- ty,” reasons Sgt. Slaney. “We offer anonymity to deal with the fear and cash reward to deal with the apathy.” In 1997, the program expanded into Durham schools with the launch of Student Crime Stoppers, which has so far resulted in 30 arrests, 52 charges, 27 cases solved and $34,480 worth of drugs and stolen property recovered. Callers to Crime Stoppers never have to give their name or testify in court and the pro- gram does not subscribe to call display. In fact, in order to maintain the integrity, tipsters receive a code number in the event of future calls and their rewards are left in a sealed envelope at a secret location. Tipsters can call the hot-line at 1-800-222- TIPS or locally at 436-TIPS.

Lucas Picciolo ADVERTISING FEATURE Let’s Ask The PodiatristRonald J. Klein, B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist- Foot Specialist Morning heel pain can spoil your entire day ASK THE PODIATRIST: I began feeling pain in my heal and arch approximately 1 year ago. It has gotten progressively worse in the past 3 months. The pain is most intense when I first get out of bed in the morning, or when I first stand up. It then seems to ease somewhat. It feels like a bruise on the inside of my heel right where the arch begins. What might this be ad how can I treat it? It sounds as if you are describing a con- dition known as plantar fasciitis, an inflamma- tion of the plantar fascia, a thick fibrous, con- nective tissue running from the inside of the heel to the toes. It is responsible for maintain- ing the arch of the foot. Initially the onset of symptoms are grad- ual and of low intensity but they soon progress to a sharp persistent pain. The pain is worse when first arising in the morning of at the beginning of an activity. It will then lessen after a few minutes of walking but will reoccur after a rest or with pro- longed movement. Although the symptoms are in the heel the, heel is not the problem. Plantar fasciitis occurs as a result of excessive pronation and a flattening of the arch. This causes the foot to lengthen, lead- ing this inflexible fascia to pull away from the heel bone. The end fibers then develop some micro tears, swelling and inflammation. Some of the predisposing factors leading to plantar fasciitis are: 1)a flattening of the arch (length- ening of the foot) 2)increased pronation 3)high arched, rigid feet 4)inappropriate shoes 5)toe or hill running 6)soft terrain running (for exam- ple running on the beach) 7)increased age or weight 8)pregnancy can cause feet to lengthen and splay. Treatment for plantar fasci- itis involves R.I.C.E., rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Exercises are also of some benefit. These include rolling the arch on a tennis ball, picking up a towel with your toes and Achilles ten- don stretches. Also working on your quadri- ceps will help. Women may find wearing a shoe with a slight heel of 1 to 1 1/2 inches will help maintain better arch height and thus ease some symptoms. Oral anti-inflammatories, cortisone, and physiotherapy can only address the information and the cause which is the foot mechanics. The best treatment is prescribing a cus- tom made foot orthotic. It will control the foot mechanics and minimize pronation while sup- porting the arch. It will decrease the pull of the fascia in the heel, thereby lessening the inflam- mation and pain. Orthotics should always be made from a negative impression plaster cast in a not weight bearing position. This will reproduce the foot in a normal arched neutral position. Resolution of the pain with orthotics can take from several weeks to 4-6 months depend- ing on how long you have had the problem. If pain persists longer, a surgical plantar release may be indicated. As with most other problems, it is impor- tant to address symptoms as soon as they appear. The longer you have the pain the longer it will take to resolve the problem. If you have a specific question you would like answered or a topic you would like addressed, please send it to ASK THE PODIA- TRIST c/o The News Advertiser. Do You Have Indigestion, Gas, Bloating, and a Few Pounds to Lose? Evelyn Arbour is a Registered Nutritionist and is a guest speaker on the “First Take with Dan Carter” television show. She is also someone who has experienced change in her life when it comes to losing weight by changing her eating habits. “I know how it feels physically and emo- tionally to have a weight problem and diges- tive disorders,” she explains. “This experience helps me to work with my clients so they can achieve their goals.” Evelyn has designed a 4 step program for her clients that is easy to follow and has result- ed in long term results. The first step is a 1 hour consultation. She finds out what you’ve been eating and how you’ve been feeling. It’s a time to learn about good and bad eating habits as well as the dif- ferences between good and bad digestion. Next you take home a questionnaire. This helps you to see which systems you may be having trouble with including digestion, elimi- nation and respiratory as well as problems associated with vitamin and mineral deficien- cies. Once this is done the next step is to deter- mine whether you need a detoxification pro- gram. “You may feel bloated all the time, have bad breath or feel tired all the time,” says Evelyn. “Detoxification is the body’s natural process of elimination or neutralizing of toxins via the liver, the kidneys, the urine, feces, exha- lation and perspiration.” This step of the program also includes your eating plan based on your needs whether it’s for detoxification, weight loss or both. Evelyn provides you with easy and affordable recipes and an individualized eating plan which will include herbal supplements for detoxification. She will also instruct you on healthy food substitutions in particular replac- ing the 4W’s: white rice; white flour; white pasta and white sugar. The last part of the program is your maintenance stage when Evelyn reexamines your eating habits and how you feel to deter- mine if you need to modify your eating plan.

Sometimes we create situations in our lives that make us feel like we will never get out of them. For instance, we may get stuck in what feels like an alone, scary, dark, stressful and/or depressing place. We lose hope, faith confidence, and the ability to support ourselves for the bet- ter. This is when it is important to learn to ask for help, to reach out and know that there are people and services that can sup- port us toward a more positive direction in our life. Learn to take advantage of these support services, so that two, five, ten years from now you will be proud of your self and your life accomplishments. Learning to make yourself number one in your life is not a selfish thing, but a gift that you give to yourself and in doing so everyone around you benefits. When was the last time you felt guilty when you put yourself first? When was the last time you felt guilty for putting your family members or place of employ- ment first? Why should you be last and placed on the back burner all the time? Are you aware that there is nothing in this world more important, more pre- cious, more special and perfect than you? If you don’t agree with me, then you may not have received this message as a child, and as an adult you may not feel so important, loved and special.What can you do about that now, you may ask? Well, believe it or not, you still have that child aspect residing in you as of today, waiting to feel love, important, precious, unique, and special. There are ways you can learn to connect with that three year old within you, in doing so, you shall receive all of the wonderful benefits as well as a life filled with more happiness and success. It does take a commitment on your part to help that aspect of yourself feel bet- ter and more empowered. So commit yourself today and begin your journey toward an abundant filled life. Learn to take some time to journal your feel- ings on a weekly basis,this helps you connect with the three year old within, and release unresolved, repressed issues that are causing most of your prob- lems in your life today. Learn to believe in yourself, no matter what your upbringing or past may have been. This is your life don’t waste it by moaning and groaning and staying stuck in your problems. Learn what your problems are trying to teach you. Yes, believe it or not, your prob- lems come with lessons! Get the lesson and your problem goes away! Learn to reach out and to ask for help. Learn to take care of yourself, to be supportive toward yourself and to honour yourself daily. Remember there are “No” two snowflakes alike, each one is unique and different in its own way, just like you are uniquely special in your own way. Learn to open up the special part within you and learn to cel- ebrate it. If there were mil- lions of “you” walking around, life would be quite boring. That is why we are all different. You may be saying to yourself, “well I’m fat, feel stupid, I’m alone, don’t like a lot about myself, feel insecure around others, feel depressed most of the time, feel guilty for the decisions I’ve made in my life and how they affected my chil- dren, feel stressed and scared of how that is impacting my body.” How can I celebrate, if I am still feeling this way about myself? My question to you would be, do you still want to feel this way two, five, ten years from now, because if you don’t put forth an effort to make the necessary changes to improve yourself and your life. Learn to stop judging and comparing yourself right now, at this very minute. Learn to become the observer, stop the judg- ing and comparing and begin to look for all of your wonderful differences that make you unique and spe- cial. You have within you the ability to create all that you desire to have, and to be and to experience in your life. You are powerful, believe it, and learn to use that inner power wisely to make the necessary changes toward the better You. If you don’t learn how to love yourself and to make yourself feel special, with out feeling guilty, then you cannot love another because you will always be loving with condition. When you have learned how to care and to love yourself, you will feel so great that love pours out to those all around you. Learning to put your- self first, to look in the mir- ror and truly like and love who you see, and allow yourself to feel special, is true authentic power!

Questions still unanswered in mysterious leak BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —A “small amount” of tritium that leaked into Lake On- tario from the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station last weekend has sparked an investigation. The plant’s officials are trying to discover how the radioactive sub- stance got into the station’s water treatment facility, normally reserved for regular water purification. The tritium was discovered in a holding tank during daily testing of the contents, said Darlington spokesman Phil LeSauvage. Normal- ly the tanks are used to process waste water related to non-nuclear produc- tion, he added. “We don’t know the source of it at the moment,” said Mr. LeSauvage Tuesday. “In this case we’re not sure how the tritiated water got into the sump,” which leads to the holding tank and lagoons where the water is purified before it’s discharged back into the lake. “We’re trying to investigate how that got in there. It is normally regu- lar maintenance water... we wouldn’t expect tritium in it.” However, he added, as part of the station’s daily testing process, the water in the tanks is checked for a number of environmental contami- nants, including tritium. On Sunday, “a fraction of a million of the limit” of tritium allowed to be released into the environment was discovered leaking into Lake Ontario. In a given month, the station releases about 250 curies of radioactivity con- tained in tritium into the lake. The spill measured about two curies, says Mr. LeSauvage, who adds it is impos- sible to determine how much water escaped because it would depend on the level of radioactivity within the water. Another 88 curies of radioactivity have been detected in the water re- maining in the lagoon, which has since been sealed off, says Mr. LeSauvage. The station will dilute that conta- minated water by diverting it through a pipeline and tanker trucks into a far greater quantity of regular water, over a period of two weeks, prior to its re- lease into Lake Ontario, he said. On Sunday when the leak was dis- covered, municipal, provincial and Durham Regional Police authorities were contacted, he added.

A picturesque course featuring rolling hills and mature trees, water comes into play on 8 holes with a tribu- tary of the Oshawa Creek winding through the course and two ponds to challenge your swing. There’s a fully stocked pro shop with cart and club rentals. Lessons are available and there’s a chipping and putting green. There is also a snack bar, as well as banquet facilities for up to 150.

Golf Tip: Matt says the shootout hole will be challenging and requires a very accurate shot. The pin position will be at the back and unlike last year you won’t be able to roll it on to the green. Wind is always in play and Matt says you should use an extra club on this hole to make the ace. “Good Luck.” Fourth Qualifying Site 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, May 21st Winchester Golf Club Hole # 2 FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY AT YOUR LOCAL CHEVROLET • OLDSMOBILE DEALER.

The effort was just off his school record of 1:50.68, which was set at the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Invitational Meet in Atlanta, Georgia in early April. The UTC sophomore, who’s a graduate of Pine Ridge Secondary School, will compete at the Stanford Invitational meet in Palo Alta, Cali- fornia this weekend. Oh Henry!

The hurdles specialist with the University of Illinois Fighting Illi- ni won a pair of gold medals at the recent Illini Twilight meet at the UI Outdoor Track Stadium. Felicien won the 100-metre hurdles event in an extremely fast time of 12.78 seconds — the fastest time in the world this year. It breaks her previous world’s best time and season’s best of 12.92 set at the Drake Relays in Iowa two weeks ago. The time is also a new school record, breaking her own mark of 12.91, set as a freshman. “This is absolutely amazing,” said Felicien in an article posted on the University of Illinois athlet- ic Web site. “When I looked up at the scoreboard and saw the time I was shocked. I’m usually pretty composed when I compete, but today I showed a lot of emotion and had to even clap for myself be- cause I was so elated.” Less than a half-hour later, Feli- cien won her second gold medal by winning the 100m dash in 11.80 seconds. The clocking tied her personal best mark in the event. Felicien will next compete at the Big Ten Conference Outdoor Championships at Indiana Univer- sity May 18 to 20.

Aerials sky high at provincials PICKERING —After a gru- elling season, gymnasts with the Pickering Aerials Gymnastic Club were up to the challenge at provincial competitions the past two weekends. At the Provincial Youth Gym- nastics Championships in Sud- bury, Malvina Mana fought hard and earned a gold medal on the vault, bronze on the bars, and sixth in floor exercise. Overall, she took home the provincial sil- ver for pre-junior level 1. In pre-junior level 2, Danyelle Sora earned the gold medal on vault and placed sixth on floor for a seventh all-round finish. Achieving her personal-best performance, Kayla Chong earned the all-Ontario silver medal for her outstanding bal- ance beam performance in the pre-junior level 3 category. She also placed fifth on uneven bars, sixth on vault and earned the all- round bronze medal. Tara Swami, a first-time provincial-stream competitor, achieved a personal best perfor- mances, including a 12th on the bars. Her level of competition was not submitted. Felicia Bianchet won bronze on the vault and floor exercises, but two falls on balance beam left her 10th overall in the novice level 2 category. A weekend earlier, club members were at Seneca Col- lege in Toronto for Elite Ontario, one of the toughest meets in the province. Ashley Bianchet, a first-time participant, earned a fourth all- Ontario placement on the vault and an 11th overall finish. Team- mate Brittany Lloyd took home a seventh-place finish on the floor but because of a fall on the bars, placed 13th in that event. Alicia Wald achieved her per- sonal best performances and placed 11th on bars and beam and 13th overall in the senior 2 bracket.
