Pickering taxes hiked ‘Tax holiday’ends with 9.8-per cent increase BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —The “tax hol- iday” local residents have enjoyed for much of the last 10 years is over, says Wayne Arthurs, after Pickering council approved a 9.8- per cent tax hike Tuesday. “It’s not with any great degree of glee that we wrestle with this type of budget increase,” said the mayor, adding the days of zero- per cent increases are over. “The next couple of years I don’t believe will be substantively easier than this year,” he added. “The time in which we had a respite from tax increases is over.” Pickering councillors approved a current budget of $46.2 million, approximately $24 million of which will be raised through prop- erty taxes, resulting in a 9.8-per cent tax increase for homeowners this year. The City also approved a capital budget of $6.6 million. Mayor Arthurs explained a number of issues have been dri- ving the budget this year. “We are seeing a need to fi- nance the capital projects that have already been approved and built,” he said, pointing to the new Petticoat Creek Library and Com- munity Centre and the City’s wa- terfront project as examples. “We have an obligation... to repay those monies as though they were debt we had in the market- place,” he said, noting just under $600,000 is being allocated to debt repayment this year.

That’s the name of the strict-dis- cipline demonstration project, fully funded by the Province, to be of- fered here starting in September. The Durham District School Board this week was one of seven school board/ agency partnerships chosen to offer the project, after the Province issued a request for pro- See ECKER page 5 The mayor said an additional $1 million in operating funding is being directed toward the Picker- ing Fire Service in an effort to enhance the City’s fire services and increase the number of fire- fighters here. He also said the growth the City has experienced in recent years dropped off this year, ac- counting for a reduction of $400,000 in revenues from build- ing permits. Another budget pressure for 2001 was the fact council decid- ed last year to use money from the City’s rate stabilization fund to ensure a zero-per cent increase for 2000. “We have no option but to re- cover it through a tax increase,” he said. The mayor noted the City is trying to pay for capital projects with current tax dollars and is also trying to avoid drawing on reserves. He reported this year’s budget process has not been easy for staff and added, “I’m not sure it’s the type of thing we want to con- gratulate ourselves on but it is a job that has to be done.” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, however, main- tained the City could have chosen to lessen the burden on residents this year if councillors had agreed to direct additional rev- enues from the administration of the Provincial Offences Act (POA) toward the operating bud- get, rather than the capital bud- get. “I do understand the rationale and the logic (for council’s deci- sion),” he said, adding he be- lieves the POA revenues could have been used to limit a tax hike to just over eight per cent. “I realize we’re not talking about a lot of money,” he said of the roughly $200,000 in rev- enues, noting in a year when tax- payers are feeling the additional pressures caused by the recent property reassessments and the government’s new tax policies, lessening the tax hike by one per cent could make a difference to someone. However, Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson noted Pickering residents, who’ll be paying an average of $75 more in City taxes this year, are still get- ting “a pretty good bang for their buck”.Online at durhamregion.comP PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 27, 2001 PICKERING from page 1 Pickering approves budget with property tax hike 1-800-642-4561 (905) 723-5211 900 Champlain Avenue, Oshawa The Area’s ONLY Full Line LA-Z-Boy Dealer NOW AT *SELECTED AREAS ONLY SEE OUR FLYER IN TODAY’S PAPER!

Durham council voted Wednesday to endorse a motion that originated in the Township of Essa, which has for- warded a resolution to all Ontario mu- nicipalities asking for their support in requesting that the Province reintro- duce the photo radar program on all major provincial highways in an effort to reduce motor vehicle accidents. “The reintroduction of photo radar would be a very useful tool in assisting the police service in bringing bad dri- ving habits under control,” said Os- hawa Councillor and Durham Police Services Board chairman Bob Boy- chyn in urging his colleagues to sup- port the motion. Council also agreed to take the Essa motion a step further and ask that photo radar be made available to police all roads. The Province first introduced the photo radar program in 1994 as part of a six-month pilot project on selected highways across the Greater Toronto Area. The program was discontinued in 1995. Coun. Boychyn noted as chairman of the police services board he receives a number of phone calls from con- stituents “complaining about the hor- rendous speeds being driven on our Regional roads”.

The project became necessary when the government introduced its Ontario Code of Conduct. Under the code students will be suspended and face expulsion for certain behaviour, including possession of a weapon, trafficking in drugs and weapons, robbery and sexual assault. To re- turn to the classroom, expelled stu- dents must successfully complete a strict discipline or similar program. The board will partner with Frontenac Youth Services in Os- hawa, Chimo Youth Services in north Durham, Durham Family Court Clinic in Oshawa and the Whitby Mental Health Centre. The demonstration project will not be offered on school property but at three yet-to-be-announced lo- cations — in Pickering, Oshawa and north Durham during regular school hours.

The sentence, “As for air quality — that’s a problem that goes well beyond Durham’s borders and must be policed by the Province and the feds” gives the im- pression there is nothing we Durham resi- dents can or should do about it. Durham residents can do more to re- duce air pollution, but more awareness needs to be brought to the attention of all residents. Some examples of how residents con- tribute significantly to air pollution in- clude driving vehicles wastefully (notice how many drivers speed or idle motors un- necessarily), using solvent-based paints, using gas-powered lawn mowers where manual push-mowers might be suitable, having outdoor bonfires, and using aerosol spray products. Many of these opportunities for indi- viduals to minimize contributions to air pollution also would save energy and so ought to become more obvious as energy costs increase. While the provincial and federal governments implement legisla- tion and programs for such measures as vehicle emission testing, sulphur and ben- zene content in fuels, and industrial emis- sions of smog precursor chemicals, both governments provide literature that indi- cates individuals can help reduce air pol- lution by their individual choices in use of energy and products. Citizens should be reminded at every opportunity that they should help reduce air pollution in Durham and the media has a responsible role to at least avoid skip- ping this aspect of the air quality problem.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Dick and Jane – a primer for the 21st Century We have some requests for our friendly regional politicians: please dispense with the expensive regional governance retreats, please quit funding ‘do-nothing’studies from consultants, please stop worrying about amalgamation. At a time when property taxpayers are getting slammed with significant tax hikes on the order of eight per cent regionally and three to 10 per cent locally, we don’t need more of our tax dol- lars wasted on frivolous retreats and reports. After all, what do we have to show for all this hot air and burned-up money? Nothing. We’re right where we started years ago, when fears of forced amalgamation began. The Province has spoken on the issue and has assured Durham lawmakers that en- forced amalgamation is not on the immediate agenda. And, who knows, we could well have a different party in power after the next provincial election, a party that has no inter- est in pushing amalgamation. Even if amalgamation is forced by the Province, what good will reports, consultants and retreats do us? The Province will do whatever it wants to do — see Toronto circa 1997 for an exam- ple. Don’t get us wrong. We’re all in favour of finding the most cost-efficient way of providing municipal and regional services. But that isn’t something that requires special retreats and costly reports. It should come as second nature to our municipal and re- gional politicians. Surely their No. 1 duty is to protect and look after taxpayer’s money. It should be taken care of in the natural order of political business. If municipal and regional politicians feel amalgamation serves their constituents best, they can make a case to the people they represent and petition the Province to put the issue to a referen- dum at election time. Of course, the odds are local politicians aren’t keen to offer an alternative that could see their influence or even existence threatened. That’s where an outside body, the Province, comes in. In any event, our concern is the amount of time, money and energy being wasted on amalgamation and governance. We can understand the desire of regional politicians to earn that fat eight- per cent raise, retroactive to Jan. 1, they voted themselves. We just feel they could better spend their time trying to find ways to save money so Durham’s property taxpayers won’t have to be hit with huge tax increases once again next year. Municipal and regional politicians have plenty enough to worry about without getting bogged down with amalgamation is- sues. Please stick to the job at hand. Steve Houston Managing Editor shouston@durhamregion.com Region actions much ado about nothing Drop the retreats, forget the studies and stick to the job of governing NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 27, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer Glen Kerry made a life-altering decision in 1990. He went into business with his mother Elva, heading up their commercial cattle operation on Scugog's 6th Line in the wake of his father Walter's death. "When my dad died I was 23," he explains. "I basically had to de- cide if I was going to quit and let the family farm go when he died or stick with it." A graduate of Kemptville Agri- cultural College, Mr. Kerry says up to that point farming was all he had ever "done". And so for him, the decision to take over the family farm seemed natural even though none of his siblings took the same route. Today, the 34-year-old and his wife Shari have bought out their partner and have expanded the family farm into a 120 cow-calf purebred operation. Mr. Kerry di- vides his time between that and managing a nearby farm for anoth- er owner. "Most beef operations are part- time. It's too big of a capital in- vestment for so little return," says Mr. Kerry, who believes the chances are slim his two small daughters will ever follow in his footsteps. "(Farming) is only going to get worse. If they do do it, it won't be in Durham. This is too high of a tax zone," he says, adding land prices are high this close to urban areas. Like most local farmers, he rents 400 of his 500 acres for Fairview Farm. The Kerrys are the norm when it comes to young people gaining a foothold in a farm operation, says Larry Flett, a senior account man- ager with Royal Bank in Port Perry. With the high cost of farm- ing, it's tough for a young farmer to establish themselves without the help of farming parents. "It's what we call estate plan- ning. You'll find a father and moth- er helping out a son and daughter. If they have a large farm they will give them shares. If there's a part- nership, the mom may back away and the dad will work with the son or daughter," he explains. But the cost to do business is going up all the time, says Mr. Flett, who has been lending money to farmers for 27 years. A dairy barn can cost as much as $300,000 to build, with another $2,500 a head for good cattle, he says. Pro- ducers also have to purchase quota, which is a right to produce so many litres of milk, in the sup- ply-managed market. An average sized herd, about 40 to 50 kilos of quota, can run at around $800,000. While cash croppers aren't re- quired to purchase quota, they are hit with heavy equipment costs, says Mr. Flett. A combine can cost as much as $400,000 with attachments and that's only one piece of equipment, he adds. As a result, about only a hand- ful of people under the age of 25 are knocking on his door each year for start-up financing. Mr. Flett takes in territory spanning from highways 48 to 115. "I generally ask them about their experience level. Did they work on a farm for most of their life or do they have a degree in agriculture or agfinance out of Guelph?" Mr. Flett explains. "I want to know if they have an estate plan in place. What happens if something happens to mom and dad?" Applicants are also asked if they have a business plan in place. Mr. Flett says he works with the client to determine in which direc- tion a son or daughter wants to take the family farm and if there's sufficient cash flow to make it all possible. "I think the large corporate farms are where the overall indus- try is headed," he says. "You'll still have the lifestyle farmer who works at GM and has 50 head (of cattle). Those are the people who want to live in the country and grow vegetables or run a greenhouse. They'll always be around. "But the full-fledged family farms, the guys in the middle - it's becoming more and more difficult for them to survive because of the costs." More and more large farmers are buying out their smaller neigh- bours, a trend illustrated by the lat- est statistics from the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. A 1996 census reported a total of 276,548 farms in Canada, an 18.3 per cent decrease from 1976. At the same time, Canadian farms are, on average, 22 per cent larger today than 20 years ago. The average farm size was 608 acres, compared to 499 acres in 1976. The trend towards larger and fewer farms in Canada means fewer farmers produce more food than ever before. That's a fact that scares Dave Barry when he thinks of the future of his industry. At 41, the president of the Durham chapter of the CFA says he's considered a young player in the world of agriculture. The aver- age age of a farmer in Ontario is 58, he says. "It's hard enough for guys to stay in farming let alone get start- ed," says the Zephyr farmer, who began renting his own land at the age of 15. He was able to establish himself with the help of his father and a provincial farm start program in the 1980s, which gave young farmers a five per cent interest rate rebate on their debt. Those programs have since dis- appeared and groups like the DFA don't have the resources to pick up the slack, he says. "We're a straight lobby group. We have a hard enough time financ- ing ourselves," says Mr. Barry. "It scares me because the future of any industry depends on building new ideas," he explains. "As farmers get older there isn't that transference of knowledge, his- tory and experience from one gen- eration to another. And as opera- tions get older, you lose a sense of community." If one can draw a positive from this past year of rising fuel costs and falling commodity prices, it could be that it created a sense of community among farmers as they lobbied the provincial and federal governments for some relief, says Mr. Barry. "I hope people keep coming up the ranks because farming is our fu- ture," he says, adding things won't get any better until "the government does truly see the value in agricul- ture". Canadian farmers can't compete with the treasuries of other govern- ments like the United States and Europe, which heavily subsidize their producers, he says. Domestic farmers aren't even on a level playing field with pro- ducers in their own country, he says, pointing out Ontario pro- ducers can't compete with Que- bec farmers, who are subsidized by their provincial government. Although starting a farm is a definite challenge, it's best to be tried when you're young and chances of recovery are better, Mr. Barry says. "If you do lose, you don't lose years of work," he adds. "But the problem is farming becomes your identity and when things go bad, the heart rules in- stead of the head," he says. "If I quit now I wouldn't know who I was." CARL FERENCZ/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM ––Glen Kerry, with wife Shari and daughters Hayden, 3 and Brooklyn, 8 months, figures the chances are slim that his children will take over the family farm. Mr. Kerry chose to run the fam- ily farm, Fairview Farm, when his father passed away in 1990. Generation gap Durham farmers are wondering about the future of agriculture ‘(Farming) is only going to get worse. If they do do it, it won't be in Durham. This is too high of a tax zone.’ Glen Kerry ‘I think the large corporate farms are where the overall industry is headed.’ Larry Flett, senior account manager, Royal Bank DAVE BARRY ‘I hope people keep coming up the ranks because farming is our future’ Tomorrow begins today.

Blaisdale Montessori School proudly announces the opening. Situated on 5 acres on a secluded street, this 21,000 square foot building contains a 5,000 square foot gymnasium. “Our newest and largest facil- ity houses children from 16 months to age 14,” stated Mrs. Eleanor Wilson, who founded Blaisdale in 1969. Close to the Ajax GO Station and the 401, the school is located at 20 O’Brien Court, off Westney Road. “There are actually two roads leading to the school,” stated Mrs. Wilson, one on the west side of Westney and the other on the north side of Bayly.” Using unique, educational materials, children in a Montessori school progress at their own rate in a “Prepared Environment”. In the class for children ages 3 to 5, this consists of Practical Life (activities that are found around the home), Sensorial (activities that refine the senses of sight, touch, hearing, etc.), Cultural (music, art, botany & geography,) and Academic mate- rials that teach reading, writing and math in an enjoyable, attrac- tive setting.

But for the victim support chairman of the new Durham Region chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), frequent stops at local schools, such as her recent visit with Grade 11 students at Pick- ering High School, are an impor- tant step in educating students about the dangers of drunk dri- ving, something she believes her daughter Amanda would have wanted. “I never dreamt I’d be out in high schools doing this,” Ms. Heron told the students. Amanda was killed in June 1998 by a drunk driver, and since then, Ms. Heron has been telling her story to Durham youth, hop- ing she will at least convince one person not to drink and drive. Ms. Heron shares her story through words and a video, cre- ated by Durham Region high school students, about Amanda and another drunk driving vic- tim, Jennifer Crook. After the video, ‘Tragic Memories’, finished playing at Pickering High, the room went silent as some students wiped the tears from their faces. Ms. Heron also shed a few tears, saying she never knows when the pain of her loss will hit. Following Ms. Heron to the stage was Mike Murphy, educa- tion chairman for the Durham chapter of MADD. His job is to tell the students what will hap- pen if they are caught driving under the influence. But some- times, actions speak louder than words. Four students were cho- sen to be part of a demonstration that shows students what it would be like to drive drunk. Wearing ‘fatal vision’ gog- gles, which simulate what a per- son would see when they are over the legal limit of alcohol, each student had to push a chair with a classmate on it through a course of pylons. All four failed the test, and had they been be- hind the wheel of a car, were re- minded they could have killed themselves. Wendy Burt, 17, said she would never drive drunk after the experience. “I would never (drive drunk), I was embarrassed just about the way I was driving,” she said mo- tioning to the chair she had just finished pushing. Her passenger, and then dri- ver, Maximito Cisneros, 18, said he had his family to think about. “All I know is, I’ve got siblings to care for, so I don’t want to risk my life,” he said after crashing into a group of students. Erin Bay, was another one of the students to fail the challenge. “If I couldn’t go around those py- lons, then I doubt someone could if they were drunk,” she said. The students noted preparation is a good way to deal with driving drunk or getting in a car with some- one who is under the influence. “You have to plan ahead,” said Jamie Tam, 17, noting said she and her friends always have a designated driver. Ryan Dasilva, 17, agreed a desig- nated driver is the way to go, adding if you don’t trust that person to stay sober, “Just don’t go at all.” AJAX ––Erin Bay, wearing ‘Fatal Vision’ goggles to simulate alcohol impairment, tries to guide Sean Armstrong through a pylon course during a MADD presentation at their school.

Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner called on his colleagues Wednesday to approve a motion that would see Durham’s eight member municipalities include a mechanism on the 2001 property tax billings for an elective contribution of one per cent of the bill toward the region’s hospitals. “If a resident chooses to make an elective contribution, they’re getting a credit back for a charitable contri- bution,” he explained. “There is a need across our region. It’s become clear to me there is a way to assist.” The Rouge Valley Health System and Lakeridge Health Corporation had requested $100 million in fund- ing from the Region toward planned expansion projects at health-care fa- cilities across Durham. Council, however, turned down their request. Coun. Brenner noted while Durham residents weren’t in favour of seeing the responsibility for health care added to their property tax bills, creating an opportunity for voluntary contributions to local hospitals would “allow us to gauge what the mood is like in the public”. He also said the Region has a wider audience than the hospital foundations, which are involved in fund-raising in communities across Durham. “We cover each and every proper- ty in Durham Region,” he said. Coun. Brenner reported munici- palities would issue tax receipts to residents who make a donation to hospitals, noting the City of Picker- ing was successful in raising $500,000 toward a millennium fund for its 2000 celebrations by issuing charitable receipts to donors. Pickering Councillor Rick John- son, who seconded the motion, said the Region has an opportunity to “bring awareness to the hospitals’ plight. It’s another vehicle to raise money for hospitals.” Meanwhile, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond noted providing res- idents with the opportunity to make an elective contribution to area hos- pitals would indicate the Region’s support for Durham’s hospitals. “It has been very successfully done elsewhere,” she said. “It makes it easier for people to contribute.” However, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish suggested the motion should be circulated to area municipalities for input prior to Durham council making a decision. The issue is expected to come back to the Region at the next Durham council meeting June 13. A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 27, 2001 Durham high school students driven to succeed DURHAM — Students from 11 Durham high schools put their dri- ving knowledge to the test during the recent Teen Driving Challenge. At a course set up at Whitby’s Iroquois Park, 22 students competed for cash prizes and learned a little something about road safety along the way. Molly Forrester of Oshawa’s O’Neill Collegiate was the top stu- dent while Scott Provost of Whit- by’s Sinclair Secondary School fin- ished second. The overall challenge included three phases designed to test stu- dent’s knowledge and skill level. In February, students from across the region were invited to take a written test. The six students with the best scores from each school then took a computer-simulated driving chal- lenge. The top two from each school were behind the wheel last weekend for phase three, actual driving tests. “It’s very important young peo- ple realize they are not invulnerable, especially behind the wheel of a motor vehicle,” said Lynne Gray, a public health nurse with the Durham Region Health Department. “The Teen Driving Challenge highlights the seriousness of the dri- ving world in an interactive and fun- filled environment.” According to a 1998 report by the Ontario Injury Prevention Re- source Centre, motor vehicle colli- sions are the leading cause of death and hospitalization among individu- als aged 15 to 24. The event was held as part of Whitby Street Safety Day, which saw the launch of the Whitby Road Safety Challenge, a provincewide competition on road safety. The Durham Region Teen Dri- ving Challenge Coalition is a co-op- erative effort of many community sponsors including Durham’s police and health departments. DURHAM ––Ashley Degnan clips a few pylons during the sec- ond annual Teen Driving Challenge at Iroquois Park in Whitby. Teens across Durham competed in the event.

Council’s community affairs and planning committee on Tuesday agreed to a request from Runnymede, the developer of the pro- ject, and Tribute Homes, the project builder, to allow single-detached homes rather than townhouses. Approximately 65 single-detached homes would be on 50-foot-wide lots along a yet-to- be-built southerly extension of Audley Road. Tribute spokesman Lucy Stocco said one of the reasons for the switch is single-de- tached homes are easier to sell. But, Town planner Dave Meredith told the committee, “From staff’s perspective, it’s a fairly significant shift from what was pro- posed. There’s no element of distinction, no focus. The focus is being lost through the ap- plicant’s request for conversion.” Staff found “the profit margins aren’t as high for townhouses as detached houses,” Mr. Meredith said. “It’s not that there isn’t a mar- ket. It’s that they’re not as profitable.” With the request, 90 per cent of the devel- opment would be single-detached housing, he stated. “I question if we’re providing a suffi- cient range of housing.” Ward 3 local Councillor Randy Low said, “When I read the report, to me it seemed like a reasonable request. Single-family dwellings on larger lots is a preferred method.” Mayor Steve Parish wanted the matter de- ferred for four weeks to give Runnymede, John Boddy Homes and the Town a chance to discuss the construction road. Boddy owns land immediately north of Runnymede’s, where the road would travel. Heavy traffic would use the construction road, which would run north to Bayly Street. Rodger Miller of Runnymede argued against a deferral, saying, “We’re anxious to proceed to phase two and timing is critical.” Instead of a deferral, committee members attached a holding provision to the rezoning bylaw. The holding provision would be removed once Runnymede shows it’s made progress on negotiating a construction road.

Clues in video store robbery sought PICKERING —Crime Stoppers and Durham Re- gional Police are asking for help in finding a man wanted in connection with a robbery in March. On Tuesday, March 20 at around 9:30 p.m. a man walked into The Adult Video Store at 1163 Kingston Rd., Unit 5, in Pickering. He approached the clerk, produced a meat cleaver with an eight-inch blade and demanded the money from the store’s till. The clerk complied and gave the man the money. After handing over the cash the clerk was locked in the store’s washroom and the suspect fled on foot. The suspect is described as a black male in his 20s standing about five-feet eight-inches tall and about 160 pounds. He was wearing a black puffy jacket with a black hooded sweatshirt and faded green Nike running shoes. Crime Stoppers will pay cash for any information that leads to an arrest in this incident and callers never have to give their names. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477 or at 1-800-222-TIPS.FREE TOPPING PIZZA 905-509-09601 LARGE PIZZA, PLUS 2 CANS POP - ONLY $9.99376 Kingston Rd. PickeringPlumbing Mart can now add value to your home with a basement conversion Plumbing Mart are leaders when it comes to bathroom renova- tions. Over the last 40 years they also have established an excellent reputa- tion and have since expanded their specialty to include kitchens. So it just seems natural to utilize their talent and resources to create a new basement for your home. “We already have the best com- bination when it comes to products and people,” says Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart. “We’ve done thou- sands of bathrooms and kitchen pro- jects so it makes sense for us to do complete basement conversions.” In the illustration above is a floor plan of an in-law apartment they’re working on. The photo shows the bath- room that will be installed in the apart- ment. “We supply the products and the people who will install fixtures and cabi- nets as well as do the framing, drywall, plumbing, electrical work, tile and floors,” says Sam. “These are the same people who have been completing our kitchen and bathroom projects. The only difference is that a new basement takes longer to complete.” Plumbing Mart will provide the designs and even arrange financing OAC for clients. “There is a definite return on the investment when you take into account the rental income from the conversion. In this example the owners have a positive cash flow in excess of $500 a month after taking into account the finance pay- ments,” says Sam. “Also every basement project is backed by Plumbing Mart’s 5- year installation warranty.” Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the Plumbing Mart showroom is only 15 minutes from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It's a short drive west on Hwy 401, south on McCowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major intersections to Midland and then just one block north to Plumbing Mart on the west side.

An all natural, 100% herbal product can help you achieve the look you want comfortably, with no tricks. Formula 36C from Herbal Magic quickly and naturally increases breast size. At the same time, it helps to regulate female hormones and glands, and can help reduce PMS and other female related reproductive products. The herbal product contains a combination of 12 herbs traditionally used to balance female hormones. The herbs selected are botanicals specific to female reproductive function, overall health and balance. Formula 36C has been developed to contain high levels of phytoestro- gens, plant hormone-like substances similar to, but weaker than human estro- gens. It acts by regulating and stimulating the body’s hormonal production an by making good estrogens available to the receptor cells in the mammary glands. This process promotes natural growth, increasing size and adding full- ness. For many women, that also means increased self-esteem! The amount of time it takes to see breast growth varies from one woman to another. Some notice results in a few days, while others see results over several months. The herbs in Formula 36C have been used for hundreds of years in medical applications with no adverse side effects when taken in recommend- ed doses. Use formula 36C with confidence, knowing that it contains no un-safe chemicals and is non- addictive. Some women may feel temporary sore- ness or tingling, similar to original breast develop- ment or lactation.

PICKERING —Keeping its ISO desig- nation means OPG has an EMS for SEAs. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) follows an environmental management system that oversees activities that could impact the envi- ronment and helps keep its ISO 14001 desig- nation. Frank Bajurny, of OPG’s environmental services section, told the Community Adviso- ry Council last week the EMS is based on the ISO designation the utility received in De- cember 1999. The certification was retained following an audit last year and another audit is scheduled for October. ISO 14001 is an en- vironmental designation. The EMS is the process used to achieve and show sound envi- ronmental performance by controlling the im- pact activities, products or services could have on the environment, he noted. OPG doesn’t provide services or products, so “we focus on activities”, Mr. Bajurny said. The ISO 14001 is “based on a simple process” of continual improvement, pollution prevention, regulatory compliance and man- agement commitment, Mr. Bajurny said. Having a management commitment is nec- essary, he noted. “The first three without the fourth is just lip service.”The management re- views the EMS to ensure it’s “suitable, ade- quate and effective. The review goes on annu- ally to ensure we’re robust.” The EMS process starts by establishing an environmental policy, coming up with a plan, implementing the plan, checking and taking any corrective action and ends with a manage- ment review. But, Mr. Bajurny said the process is “cyclical”, so it never stops. Having an environmental policy includes complying with all laws, preventing or mini- mizing pollution, training employees and set- ting targets, he noted. Part of the planning is to identify different activities that have the potential to impact on the environment. Mr. Bajurny noted 300 ac- tivities were identified, with 14 of them cate- gorized as having or possibly having a signif- icant impact. Some of the 14 activities include tritium emissions, releasing contaminants into groundwater or storm water, releasing PCBs, carbon-14 emissions, and noble gas emis- sions. The 14 activities are listed as significant environmental aspects (SEA), and managing or responding to them “forms the backbone” of the station’s environmental program, Mr. Bajurny stated.

The Pickering High time of 3:25 was the second fastest high school time in the country this year. In the junior division, Akiel John was a triple gold medallist at the central regionals. John won both the triple and the long jump, recording the longest leaps in the province.

The logo should consist of the number 30 in a creative way. It should also be large enough to be seen by fans in the stands, but should stay within the normal size of a shoulder patch. The contest is open to all Durham residents and aspiring art students. All entries should be submitted by July 17. Entries should be saved on a computer disc for easy dis- play and should include your name and phone number. All entries become the property of the Pickering Pan- thers OHA Ontario Provincial junior ‘A’hockey club and will not be returned. Entries can be dropped off at Boyer Pontiac Buick at Whites Road and Hwy. 401. The winner will receive a Pickering Panthers family pass for the 2001-2002 regular sea- son. For more information, call the Panthers’ public relations co-ordinator, Al Clark, at 905- 831-2693 ext. 344.
