Pickering vision seen in Venice Two City councillors bring waterfront plan to civic, industry leaders BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —The ongoing redevelopment of the City’s wa- terfront will be showcased at an international conference in Venice, Italy next week. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner and Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Holland are attending the International Making Cities Liveable (IMCL) Conference in Italy from July 1 to 5. The councillors, along with Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs for Ontario Power Genera- tion (OPG), will be conducting a presentation July 3 on the Picker- ing Millennium Waterfront pro- ject. “It is an incredible honour to be selected to speak before such a diverse and distinguished group of international planners and civic leaders about the remark- able transformation that is hap- pening on our waterfront,” said Coun. Holland. He reported the City was invit- ed to submit an abstract of the vi- sion to the board of the IMCL council and was then approached to do the presentation at the con- ference, which is being attended by roughly 500 delegates from 40 countries. He noted Pickering is the only Canadian municipality among the 20 cities making presentations.

Governance meeting a bust Two members of public show up for forum BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —After months of debate on the merits of munici- pal restructuring and an extensive study into new governance options for Durham, only two members of the public turned up at a meeting here Wednesday to learn more about the Region’s future. The Berkeley Consulting Group, commissioned by the cities of Pickering and Oshawa to con- duct a study into the various op- tions for municipal restructuring in Durham, hosted a meeting at the Civic Complex Wednesday to out- line their findings. But, unlike the meeting held in Oshawa the previous night, which attracted roughly 50 people, only two community members came out to talk about local governance here. “I don’t think governance mod- PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER A baby’s birthday The Heat is on and a nation’s birthday in men’s fastball NAME DROPPING/20 SPORTS/22 PRESSRUN 44,400 28 PAGES SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2001 OPTIONAL 4 WEEK DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND www.blaisdale.com16 mths - grade 8 5 locations in Durham Call Head Office 905-509-5005 Call for a visit You’ll Be impressed Blaisdale MONTESSORI School SHOWROOM OPEN! 239 Station St. HWY. 401 Westney Rd.Harwood Ave.See us from the 401 in Ajax!

And that perfect batting av- erage means local educators all have contracts for the coming school year. After high school teachers rat- ified tentative agreements on Wednesday, the elementary panel approved deals on Thursday af- ternoon. “The Durham District School Board is extremely pleased to have reached an agreement with our elementary teachers,” chair- man Liz Roy said in a press re- lease. “The board is committed to maintaining a positive working relationship with the Durham ele- mentary teachers and their lead- ers.” But teacher representatives said they are not thrilled with the deals, made under the pressure of pending provincial legislation. Full-time elementary teachers will receive a 2.67-per cent salary increase effective Sept. 1 and a further 2.3 per cent after the con- tract expires next August. The teachers received a two-per cent hike last fall. Bill Butcher, Durham ETFO president, said that means the lowest-paid teacher would see an increase from $32,296 to $33,943 when the raise is fully applied. At the top of the scale, the highest salary rises to $70,178 from $66,816. He said 65 per cent of the teachers who took part in the vote ratified the deal. When teachers voted on a one-year contract last fall, the approval rating was 77 per cent. “I’d hoped for a little higher, but I’m not disappointed with the 65 per cent,” said Mr. Butcher. “It sends a message to the board that there’s still work to be done to make elementary teachers happy at the bargaining table.” But, with the pending deadline of the Stability and Excellence in Education Act that became law Thursday, he said the parties were in a hurry. New agreements be- tween teachers and school boards in the province now must expire on Aug. 31, 2004, and neither the board nor teachers wanted a three-year contract. Elementary supply teachers Friday voted 79 per cent in favour of a two-year deal with the board. “It’s the largest turnout we’ve ever had in our 13-year history,” said Ingrid Thompson, president of ETFO’s Durham occasional local. But, she warned the ap- proval rating showed that teach- ers were between a rock and a hard place, and didn’t enthusiasti- cally support the contract. “We were in a bind; we had absolutely no choice,” said Ms. Thompson. There was also the looming deadline for new deals before the legislation passed. And, when secondary teachers ratified agree- ments with the board, Ms. Thompson said teachers knew the board would not agree to any- thing but the same for elementary teachers. The elementary supply teach- ers will receive a two-per cent raise retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year, an additional 2.67 per cent on Jan. 1, 2002, and a further 2.3 per cent after the two-year deal expires on Dec. 31, 2002.

Holland said, noting the re- development of the water- front area is about “trans- forming what has been a sub- urban commu- nity into a dy- namic and vi- brant City for our residents to call home... we have a vi- sion to achieve something that is truly re- markable.” The City celebrated the official open- ing of the Mil- lennium Trail and Square June 23. More than $3 million has been invested in the project to date. However, the total pro- ject is estimat- ed at $9.8 mil- lion and is ex- pected to take another few years to com- plete. “It’s a model the in- ternational planning world can benefit from,” said Coun. Brenner in an interview. He reported the presenta- tion will “share the vi- sion of our project and the process used to achieve major partnerships with a deep de- gree of com- munity en- gagement”. The presen- tation will be used in the fu- ture to promote the City’s eco- nomic devel- opment, he added. Meanwhile, Mr. O’Brien said his role at the event will be to talk about OPG’s partner- ship with the City on the project and the community in- volvement. Community members can view the presentation and get reg- ular updates and news from the conference by visiting www.cit- rusmedia.com/waterfront. Coun. Holland reported the $13,000 cost for the development of the Web site and the presenta- tion is being fully covered by OPG. He added the combined con- ference costs for himself and Coun. Brenner will total less than $4,000 and will be funded through the councillors’ confer- ence budget.

Some options in- cluded the continuation of the Regional government and others did not. He explained the entire study was based on the “as- sumption” that the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) will eventually take on a broader role in the fund- ing and planning of infra- structure across the Greater Toronto Area. “We’re going to have a third level of government of sorts,” Mr. Mackay said. “Given that, it doesn’t make sense to consolidate eight municipalities into three cities and still have a Re- gion.” Few show an interest in future of City, Durham Region governments FEW from page 1 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 1, 2001 PAGE 5 P SPECIALSALE Carriers of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser or flyers call Circulation at 683-5117.

What a lovely vision. Except this year the Ontario government has decided we should celebrate the holiday on July 2. When I contacted the Province and asked about stores being allowed to operate on July 1, I was told they had decided the holi- day should be July 2. They cited the federal government as the source of the change. When I contacted the federal govern- ment, they said that what they meant was anyone who worked a ‘standard’work week of Monday to Friday should get July 2 off because July 1 falls on a Sunday. I am proud to be a Canadian and I hope others are too. Please call your MPP and ask why the Ontario government doesn’t think Canada Day should be celebrated on July 1 by all of its citizens, including those work- ing in the retail sector.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 1, 2001 That sound you heard Wednes- day afternoon was a collective sigh of relief coming from the school board’s Whitby office. The Durham District School Board at that time learned its high school teachers had ratified a new contract, the first negotiated agree- ment in five years. The teachers are getting a raise. More importantly, their workload should be more conducive to offer- ing extra help to students struggling in math or English and, dare I say, to coaching sports and leading clubs. Supervising students and other duties the provincial government had excluded from teaching time are now included after the passing Thursday of the Stability and Excel- lence in Education Act, a morale boost for teachers, confirming their job involves more than just teaching a lesson. High school teachers and the board have endured a terrible rela- tionship ever since the government’s heavier workload was first applied here in 1999. The teachers saw this as the board implementing the gov- ernment’s agenda, one to which they were adamantly opposed. The inking of this contract isn’t going to erase everyone’s memories, but there were some encouraging words spoken last week. The parties said they were committed to im- proving their relationship, and if sincere that means a better atmos- phere in schools that will filter down to students often caught in the mid- dle. Durham OSSTF president Shel- ley Page didn’t say extracurriculars would be back in schools this fall. She couldn’t, because that would be an admission that the union was telling teachers not to take part. Ms. Page has maintained that individuals make the choice, though others, in- cluding education minister Janet Ecker, would beg to differ. But, it stands to reason that sports and other activities, which were slowly returning to several schools over the last year or two, should be back in a bigger way. Again, that the Province compro- mised on the issue of workload is significant. Applied in local high schools it should mean happier teachers who are not as stressed. As well, teachers have always claimed the heavier workload pre- vented them from doing extracurric- ulars. It is now a lighter, more man- ageable workload. Extracurriculars, as student after student told me last fall, are what make school fun. Not just for stu- dents, but for teachers as well. We should all want teachers to be happy at work and willing to share their talents with kids. LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words.

It’s a chance to kick back with friends and family and enjoy the Canada Day weekend. It’s also an opportunity to take the pulse of this great land, to as- sess where Canada belongs in a planet of almost seven-billion peo- ple and upwards of 200 nations. Where does Canada, this second- largest land mass of just 30 million fit? If you pay attention to the United Nations annual quality-of-life survey, you’ll see Canada fixed firmly at the front of the line. We’ve been chosen No. 1 so often now we virtually have a lock on top spot. The UN quality of life survey measures all kinds of different standards (literacy, income, environmental protection, etc.) to come up with a number, which can equally compare disparate lands. However, some would have you believe Canada is far down the list when it comes to desirable places to live. Some commentators clearly feel Canada is a distant second to the United States on a wide-variety of measures — virtually all of them tied to tax rates and disposable income. Brain drain miseries are in the news, the im- plication being Canada must chop personal income taxes drastical- ly in order to keep our ‘best and brightest’from fleeing to the U.S. Such comparisons are so obviously unfair as to be ludicrous. On what reasonable basis can you compare the economy of a small country of 30 million with a giant superpower of 300 million? On military spending alone, the U.S. wipes us out, but then again, Americans clearly believe in throwing money at the military-indus- trial complex in their role as an armed superpower. We’d rather worry about other things — like making sure all our citizens have access to medical care. Which would you rather have: a hotshot army ready and willing to jump into conflict anywhere around the globe while a quarter of your citizens have no health insurance or a fully-funded medicare system? Canada has no reason to feel inferior to any nation. Our natural resources, our unspoiled beauty, our civil society and open borders are the envy of nearly every nation around the world. Immigrants are clamouring to come to this country to start a new life, to build a prosperous future. There will always be those who, born and raised here, will go elsewhere to seek their fortunes. But the numbers prove newcomers who can’t wait to get their citizenship here, will vastly outnumber the emigrants. Canada, while it has its problems, still garners great respect around the world. We should remember we are the lucky ones, es- pecially today.

The word conjures up images of legions of young people download- ing millions of songs from the Net. They’re evidently having a great time and at last count none of the major record companies had gone bankrupt nor are the artists starving. So, what’s wrong with this picture? Plenty, going by the heated court battle being waged between the song-swapping service and the labels. Carole Trudel and friend Rob Faria, and countless others like them, are in the middle of the knock-down, drag-out fight. The Ajax teens recent- ly spent the better part of the after- noon browsing through music stores in the Pickering Town Centre. As Ms. Trudel readily admitted, they weren’t there to buy, but to check out what’s new on the racks. Back at home they’ll download the songs they like from the Net. “We don’t buy CDs like we used to,” said Ms. Trudel. “CDs are expen- sive, and there are usually only one or two songs we want. So why pay for the others? With Napster,if you know how to look, you can usually find any song you want, even brand-new re- leases.” “I know we’ve been called music bandits and thieves,” said Mr. Faria, “but I don’t think we’re doing any- thing wrong.” Ken Harker, owner of The Zone, a Bowmanville music store, is all too familiar with the mindset. “I would overhear kids saying they could download any song they want,” said Mr. Harker. Although he says sales have been down since the advent of Napster some two years ago, he’s reluctant to say by how much or even to blame the file-shar- ing services. “Sales fluctuate for a variety of reasons: a bad economy, changing tastes - many other factors,” he point- ed out. Mr. Harker may be ambivalent and tolerant; not so the U.S. music in- dustry. Recording executives worry that soon no one will pay for music anymore. Last December the Record- ing Industry Association of America (RIAA), representing five of the world’s largest labels,sued Napster to try to shut it down, charging it with abetting piracy “on an unprecedented scale.” As a measure of the high stakes involved, Napster had no less than David Boies, the attorney who brought Bill Gates to his knees in the Microsoft anti-trust battle, on its legal team. After high-profile hearings, U.S. District Judge Marilyn Patel ordered Napster to halt the trading of copy- righted material, but the decision was stayed - which means it’s still OK - for now anyway - to download free music. But the outcome of the lawsuit has become largely irrelevant, most ob- servers feel. They’re also in agree- ment that whether Napster continues or folds, the process it started will play on. If the music biz doesn’t deal with Napster, it’s believed other file- sharing systems virtually impossible to turn off will flourish. And, more far-reaching, the battle will move to other information-intensive fields such as movies and publishing. Certainly it’s a global phenome- non. Asked what should happen to Napster in the wake of the court’s rul- ing, one in two online Canadians say they would like the company, which boasted more than 50 million users at its peak, to reach an agreement with the recording industry. Three in ten say Napster should remain un- changed, 13 per cent think Napster should start a subscription to its ser- vice and only 3 per cent say Napster should be banned. Other survey findings include 10 per cent of online Canadians who think that people buy more CDs be- cause of Napster, 34 per cent say music lovers buy fewer CDs because of the company, and 44 per cent who believe the song-swapping service does not affect the number of CDs people buy. Nearly three in four online Cana- dian teens between 12 and 17 are Napster users. Only one-quarter of online Canadians over the age of 50 say they use Napster. And online teens are divided on what should be done about Napster, with 47 per cent saying it should remain unchanged compared to 49 per cent who believe the music-sharing giant should reach an agreement with the industry. Napster, not surprisingly, was the brainchild of a 19- year- old col- lege dropout. In the fall of 1998, Shawn Fanning went to Northeastern Uni- versity in Boston to study computer science. Bored by college, he hung around his uncle’s computer compa- ny instead of attending class. There, Shawn started work on the Napster software, which he conceived as a better way than search engines to find MP3 music files. All along, Napster has argued its users are protected by “fair use” rights,which let people tape a song or TV show for a friend without violat- ing copyright laws. When Napster hit the Net, it was as if a dormant volcano had just erupted. Nobody has a clue as to what the new landscape is going to look like when the dust settles - like how much music lovers will be shelling out for their tunes. Still to be solved is the key ques- tion: In what format will music ar- rive? Can the industry create a stan- dard that will satisfy users who want MP3s they can transfer to portable players and CDs, while protecting copyright owners? The labels’dream is users will go to a portal like AOL, discover any music they like and move it anywhere they choose, in a process so seamless they won’t mind paying for it monthly. The nightmare scenario: a poor selection of music in confusing and conflicting file formats that will drive users un- derground to a Napster clone like Aimster. Many experts are sceptical about the future of record companies. They point to what the music indus- try has done traditionally. Basically, it hires artists and gives them cash ad- vances in exchange for the copyright to their works. A few artists end up getting quite rich; the vast majority don’t. The artists rely on the music com- panies for promotion as well as distri- bution of their work. Some get valu- able visibility from their publishers; again, 99 per cent don’t. Courtney Love, one of the most outspoken artists, created a stir when she went public with her complaints: “What is piracy? Piracy is the act of stealing an artist’s work without any intention of paying for it. I’m not talking about Napster-type software. I’m talking about major-label record- ing contracts. “When you look at the legal line on a CD, it says ‘copyright 1976 At- lantic Records’ or ‘copyright 1996 RCA Records.’ When you look at a book, though, it’ll say something like ‘copyright 1999 Susan Faludi.’. . . “Authors own their books and li- cense them to publishers. When the contract runs out, writ- ers get their books back. But record companies own our copyrights forever.” In the old days, it’s ar- gued, record companies provided some value - they made sure songs were promoted over scarce airwaves. Record companies mass-produced recordings and made sure to keep re- tailers in stock, even at the cost of un- sold inventories. But with the advent of the Net, most of what the music companies do is no longer necessary - or at least not nearly as valuable. Shelf space is no longer scarce; it’s virtually infinite. Finally, as in so many market sectors, the balance of power has shifted:Mu- sicians no longer need to go through a central agency to reach their audi- ences. They can find their own mar- kets - and their eager listeners will help them by sharing what’s offered with their friends. How, then, will artists get paid? Without such a huge cut going to intermediaries, listeners are likely to pay enough to satisfy all but the greediest of artists - and though there’s no reason artists shouldn’t want to be rich,there’s a belief there’s no reason they should make art only to be rich. In other words, we might have more artists who truly enjoy what they do (including performing live and being paid for it) and fewer who do it only for money. As Ms. Love puts it, she’s willing to work for ‘tips’ - to rely on those willing to pay rather than to force everyone to pay. “I’m looking for people to help connect me to more fans because I believe fans will leave a tip based on the enjoyment and service I provide. I’m not scared of them getting a pre- view.” Artists will also continue to be paid for personal performances for a service rather than a product. Despite Ms. Love’s indignation, the issue here is not whether music companies are evil; it’s whether they have a busi- ness worth operating. Many, espe- cially the artists themselves, don’t be- lieve they do in their current form. Earlier this month Napster floated a trial balloon, fearful perhaps the court decision will go against it and anxious to chart its own future, such as it is. It turned legit by cutting a deal with major record labels EMI, Warn- er and Bertelsmann’s BMG. Barring complications, it means that by August or so, if the industry has its way, much of the free music will be gone. Napster plans to charge con- sumers a fee probably totalling around $20 (U.S.) a month. Music- Net hasn’t announced pricing, but es- timates are the cost of a CD ($13 to $18). Sony and Vivendi Universal’s Duet is slated for Yahoo, with pricing yet to be announced. The question is how consumers will respond when they’re asked to pay for music online. Still, free music hasn’t totally evaporated from the Net. Even so, die-hard Napster fans can be expected to balk. “I won’t pay Napster a cent,” vowed Eugene Khan of Scarborough. “Not when there’s so many other sites out there where you can download for free.” Whichever way it shakes down, it’s certain we haven’t heard the last of Napster. It’s got plenty of the right ingredients - lawsuits, money and rock ‘n’roll. That’s right. Napster the Movie may be coming to a screen near you!

Roger Anderson has been named to an advisory panel created to devel- op a strategy for protecting the moraine. The Regional chairman is one of two municipal representatives on the 14-member panel, which also includes individuals from the devel- opment industry, the resource indus- try, environmental groups and York University. “I’m hoping to be able to come up with a plan that will help Durham and bring consensus to a lot of peo- ple who are currently involved in this committee,” Mr. Anderson said Fri- day, noting the creation of the panel indicates “the Province is serious about proceeding with a solution (to protect the moraine).” Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Chris Hodgson named the 14 representatives to the panel during a meeting on Smart Growth Thurs- day. The minister also announced the creation of a new inter-ministry team, which will lead the consulta- tion process. That group will include officials from the ministries of Mu- nicipal Affairs and Housing, Envi- ronment, Natural Resources, Finance and Agriculture, Food and Rural Af- fairs. The environmentally-sensitive moraine, which is the headwater for several rivers, creeks and streams in the GTA and which provides drink- ing water to about 250,000 people, runs from the Niagara Escarpment to the Trent River and includes large areas of Uxbridge and Scugog, as well as sections of Pickering, Whit- by, Oshawa and Clarington. “The ultimate goal is to provide certainty and a more co-ordinated ap- proach for all who work or live on the moraine,” Mr. Hodgson said in a news release. “Areas that need to be protected will be protected, and development applications in areas that clearly need no special protection will be able to proceed according to clear, understandable rules.” The creation of the advisory panel and the consultation team is a contin- uation of the government’s Smart Growth strategy, which also included the Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Act, approved by the legislature May 17. That legislation established a six- month moratorium on development on the moraine. The moratorium is in effect until Nov. 17. Mr. Anderson expects the adviso- ry panel will host its first meeting within the next couple of weeks.

The authority reports it has recent- ly received confirmation from the Ontario Woodlot Association and the Canadian Forestry Service of a cedar leafminer outbreak in southern On- tario, including the local watershed. “Cedar leafminers are tiny insects that feed on the leaves of cedar trees, causing the leaves to wither and turn brown,” reports Kathy Heib, a terres- trial resource technician with CLOCA. “This particular leafminer feeds on the inside of the cedar leaves dur- ing the early spring months of its caterpillar stage and emerges as a moth in May through June. Most cedar trees will recover from this infestation barring any other stresses, including repeat infesta- tions.” Ms. Heib reports members of the public can reduce cedar leafminer damage by pruning caterpillar-infest- ed branches in March and April next year and burning the twigs. She reports as new growth returns to the trees, so will its natural green colour. For more information call CLOCA at 905-579-0411.

(416) 750-9620 (near DVP and 401) 255 Morningside Ave.(416) 283-8140 (Morningside Mall) BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM ––A study indicating breast self-ex- amination may do more harm than good won’t cause the head of a local cancer support centre to change her stance that the technique could be benefi- cial. “I’m alarmed at their coming out so strongly, saying not to do breast self- examinations and that they’re harmful,” says An- drea Shaw, executive direc- tor of Hearth Place in Os- hawa, of a study released earlier this week. “I think there would be a lot of people here at this centre who would say they wouldn’t be here today if they hadn’t found the lump” through self-exam. “We do know that can- cer is based on change,” says Ms. Shaw. “The best way to know is when some- thing is changed or is dif- ferent.” However, the study, by the Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care, suggests women aged 40 to 69 –– for whom breast can- cer is the greatest threat –– should no longer be rou- tinely taught to do breast self-exams (BSE). Information collected by the task force and released Tuesday indicates women who practised regular self- exams did no better at de- tecting and surviving breast cancer than those who did- n’t. As well, the study indi- cated women who did self- exams were more likely to experience increased anxi- ety and unnecessary biop- sies of benign lumps. “It seemed to me they were portraying us as hys- terical women who over- react,” says Ms. Shaw, not- ing she doesn’t see the harm in women being aware of changes in their breasts. “Harmful in what way? Because they’ve had a biopsy that’s shown to be benign?” Ms. Shaw says when women contact Hearth Place after finding a breast lump, they are told, “statis- tically 85 per cent of lumps that you feel are going to be benign.” However, she says, they do warrant a trip to the doctor. “I can’t see where there would be any harm in knowing what your breasts feel like and noticing any change,” she says, adding, “I’m not prepared to change our stance at this point.” The key message of the study is women need to be informed about the pros and cons of breast self- exam, says Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham Re- gion’s associate medical of- ficer of health. Women who do choose to practice the procedure should “realize there are also effective al- ternatives.” As well, women who choose the method should know the risks. “If they choose to partic- ipate in BSE, participate in an informed manner,” she says, noting there are “a number of tools” key to de- tecting breast cancer. Use of BSE “should be in conjunction with a dis- cussion of the pros and cons.” - FILES FROM TORSTAR NETWORK P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 1, 2001 Know the pros and cons before doing self-exam: Dr. Reynolds DONNA REYNOLDS Women should ‘realize there are also effective alternatives.’ Online at durhamregion.com Three Durham beaches closed to swimmers DURHAM —Three of Durham’s 16 beaches have been closed to swimmers this week due to high bacteria levels. The Durham Region Health Department reports Rotary Park in Ajax, Elgin Pond in Uxbridge and Kins- men Beach in Scugog are currently unsafe for swim- ming. The local health unit conducts weekly tests at area beaches throughout the sum- mer to monitor the level of E. coli, a bacteria found in the intestinal tract of animals and humans. “These results are shared with the public to in- form them about which beaches are safe to swim in based on testing down in these areas,” says senior pub- lic health inspector Neal Mattes in a news release. He explains, “the term posted is used as a caution to residents that test results in- dicate higher levels of bacte- ria than what is deemed ac- ceptable by the Province.” Provincial standards indi- cate that no more than 100 E. coli bacteria per 100 millil- itres of water are acceptable for swimming.

Pickering Tel: (905) 428-8981 BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––He may live in a fourth floor apart- ment, but 74-year-old Don Fletcher isn’t going to let that stop him from a good game of golf in his own backyard. The Bowmanville inven- tor, who gained fame as the face in Saan department store commercials profiling his homemade fiddle collection a few years ago, has been at it again, this time taking his in- terest in golf to a new level with a putting machine for the person with limited space and ability to bend over. “Two or three years ago I didn’t even look at golf,” he relates. “I got interested watching Tiger Woods and then gained a really good ap- preciation for what’s in- volved in the game.” Not wanting to sign on for full rounds of golf himself but with a thorough enjoy- ment of the game, Mr. Fletcher decided it was time to enhance the T.V. experi- ence with a little real-life ac- tion that had no bending re- quired. “I started to think why they didn’t have automatic ball tees at the driving range,” he says. From there the wheels began turning and Mr. Fletcher began putting together some odds and ends he had saved for such a pro- ject. With some central vacu- um tubing, a piston and a board, he was ready to create a putting green with an auto- matic return on the ball. “It sits on four legs and when the ball drops into the cup instead of ending up staying there it goes into a plastic tube,” he explains. There’s a piston inside the tee shaft which brings the ball back up to the original posi- tion. “People who have seen it have been kind of amused that the ball would come back,” relates Mr. Fletcher. But, the mechanics of how it works aside, Mr. Fletcher says, the game is ex- citing for the same reason a real golf game is. The idea of course is to achieve a hole-in- one. “The thrilling part is when you hit the ball accurately and it goes down into the cup. When the ball drops it’s just like at a tournament, everyone is clapping and pandemonium breaks out,” he says. While he doesn’t intend to replicate his one-of-a-kind invention, Mr. Fletcher says he wouldn’t be surprised if an entrepreneur was to take a look at it, see the appeal and before long, it could be showing up in recreation rooms everywhere.

DURHAM —Providing education, support and services for those infected with hepatitis C, a virus that affects the liver, is the aim of a local sup- port group that meets monthly in Whitby. The Durham Hepatitis C Support Group, spon- sored by the Durham Region Health Department through a grant from Health Canada’s Hepatitis C Division in Ontario, meets the second Thursday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. at St. Mark’s United Church, 201 Centre St. S. The next meeting, being held July 12, will fea- ture speaker Colina Yim, a senior hepatology nurse at Toronto Western Hospital and President of the Canadian Association of Hepatology Nurses. Ms. Yim will provide information on pegylated inter- feron, a new treatment for hepatitis C. “These group meetings provide an opportunity to share experiences and educational materials, and to hear new information about hepatitis C from knowledgeable guest speakers,” says Sandi King, chairman of the support group, in a news release. In addition to a monthly guest speaker, a public health nurse and public health inspector from the health department also attend each meeting. The group also meets Aug. 9, when Dianne El- liott, a public health nutritionist with the local health department, will discuss a healthy diet for the liver. Timothy McClemont, executive director of the Hepatitis C Society of Canada, is the guest speaker at the Sept. 13 meeting.

If you’re over the age of 65, that may be easier said than done when it comes to avoiding heat stress on a hot and hazy day. “Heat stress is an important health issue for which the elder- ly must be aware,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s as- sociate medical officer of health. Seniors and children under the age of four are at a high risk for heat stress because they are more sensitive to changes in temperature since body tempera- ture is regulated through blood vessels at the skin’s surface, she explained. “Seniors, particularly more frail seniors, are not able to adapt to changes in temperature,” Dr. Reynolds said. “Medically, the frail may not have adequate kid- ney function and may not be able to maintain their fluids. If they have poor circulation, they may be even more compromised.” Warmer temperatures can also mean problems with air quality and breathing. Not every hot and humid day is accompa- nied with an air-quality alert, noted Dr. Reynolds. But rising temperatures do lead to an in- crease in pollution and smog, she said. To prevent heat stress, se- niors should ensure they are tak- ing in an adequate amount of flu- ids throughout the day. Water and fruit juices are the best at re- plenishing electrolytes lost while sweating. Alcohol and drinks with caffeine should be avoided because they act as a diuretic. Dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke, said Dr. Reynolds. Heat exhaustion occurs with the loss of body flu- ids as one sweats. Symptoms in- clude turning pale, experiencing muscle cramps and nausea. The treatment for heat exhaustion is to cool your body down by drinking fluids. Heat stroke occurs when one’s core body temperature rises to the point one’s skin is hot, red and dry. Other symp- toms include a high heart rate and nausea. If left unchecked, they may lead to seizures and even loss of consciousness, said Dr. Reynolds. “In extreme heat, we recom- mend seniors stay in air-condi- tioned areas. They should stay indoors, especially in the height of the sun and heat,” she said. “People should decrease their exercise. Exercising in this heat can be a real strain on your heart because it is trying to keep up with the loss of fluids.” Most nursing homes and se- nior residences have “heat plans”, which include air-condi- tioned facilities, fans and moni- toring seniors to ensure they are getting adequate water and are wearing appropriate clothing. The Durham Region Health De- partment also recommends any- one with elderly relatives adopt a buddy system. “Maybe call them once or twice a day (during this heat) to make sure they are doing OK,” Dr. Reynolds suggested. If a trip outside can’t be avoided, seniors should pack a water bottle and if possible, stay out of the sun by toting an um- brella or seeking shade and cool- er temperatures. “We suggest seeking shade first and then if you’re in the sun, to wear protective clothing and sunscreen,” added Dr. Reynolds. For more information, call the Durham Region Health Depart- ment at 905-723-8521. DURHAM –– Maxine Hoskin and Joan Tuck share some fun in the shade during the recent heat wave. Se- niors are encouraged to take steps to provide relief from the heat and humidity.

Education Minister Janet Ecker said the tests — in science, history and other subjects — will be phased in over five years and administered by the Education Quality and Ac- countability Office (EQAO), an arm’s-length agency of the Ontario government. The EQAO already administers standardized tests each year in grades 3, 6 and 9, and runs the Grade 10 literacy test. All four of those tests will continue. By the time the new tests are fully imple- mented in the 2006/2007-year, test- ing will be a feature of every grade from Grade 3 to 11, with students tested in at least two subjects every year. However unlike existing EQAO tests, geared to look at re- sults in a school board and the entire province, Ms. Ecker in an interview said the new tests are intended to see how individual students are doing in learning course material. “This testing is in other core sub- jects and it will be different, and it’s designed to be different,” she said. “First of all, it won’t be an intensive, two- or three-day activity. It is more similar to the current kind of tests students have. It is designed to pro- vide information on the student for the teacher and the parent.” The tests will count for a mini- mum of 20 per cent of a student’s grade. High school students will write the tests at the end of the year and Ms. Ecker said they could count as final exams. At the elementary level, teachers will have an EQAO- created bank of test questions to choose from. “It’ll be up to the teacher to de- cide how and when they are using the test questions,” said Ms. Ecker. The new tests will cost the gov- ernment an estimated $16 million a year when fully in place, she said, in addition to the roughly $40 million spent on existing EQAO tests. Ms. Ecker said while there will be a learning curve for teachers, as in anything new, the tests should eventually make a teacher’s job eas- ier. Training and workshops provid- ed by the Province will support teachers. Teams of teachers mark existing EQAO tests, and while students must pass the Grade 10 literacy test to graduate from high school, it and the tests in grades 3, 6 and 9 do not count towards a pupil’s grade. Classroom teachers, following a provincial marking guide, will mark the new tests. Beginning in the 2002/2003 school year, grades 4 and 7 students will write a science and technology test, while grades 5 and 8 pupils will write a social studies test. The following school year, lan- guage tests are scheduled for grades 4 and 7 students, and math for pupils in grades 5 and 8. More test- ing begins for secondary school pupils in the 2004/2005 year, when a Grade 9 science test is added. The following year it’s a history test for Grade 10 students, followed by lan- guage and math tests for Grade 11 students in 2006/2007.

But, the need for blood never takes time off, so Canadian Blood Services has organized clinics later this month in Pickering and Ajax. CBS Toronto Centre Director Bruce Goss says, “Summer blood collections traditionally decrease while regular donors are away on vacation, yet at the same time, trauma cases often rise due to in- creased travel on our roadways and waterways. “Over the past several weeks, we have also seen an increase in surgeries being performed by local hospitals resulting in greater demand for blood. We urge eligible donors to come for- ward to help ensure hospitals are able to meet patient needs,” Mr. Goss adds. Each unit of blood is broken down into four components — red cells, platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate — so each dona- tion could save up to four lives. For instance, a car accident victim could use between four and six units, while one to six units could be used during a heart bypass operation, and two units would be needed during hip re- placement surgery. Pickering clinics are on Thurs- day, July 19 from 4 to 8 p.m. at St. Isaac Jogues Church, on Finch Avenue between Liverpool and Dixie roads. On Friday, July 20, the clinic is being held at the East Shore Community Centre, on Liverpool Road south of Bayly Street, from 3 to 7 p.m. In Ajax, the clinic is set for Saturday, July 21 from noon to 4 p.m. at the McLean Community Centre, at Westney Road North and Magill Drive. Donors have to wait 56 days between donations. Those giving must be between 17 and 71 years of age, although first-time donors can’t be over age 60. You must have a Blood Donor Card or ID with a photograph and signature. For more information, call CBS at 416-974-9900 or 1-800- 701-7803, ext. 3534. You can also go to the Web site at www.blood- services.ca. Anyone wanting to make an appointment for a specific time to donate blood at one of the up- coming clinics can call 416-974- 9911. ADVERTISING FEATURE Have you ever golfed and felt really stiff???? By Bille von Roeder Be honest, sure you have. One of the most important movements in golf is the rotation of the torso, being able to swing freely from the hip. Now that is certainly something that could use improvement for most of us golfers. As a Yoga teacher I have come across some stretches that will knock a couple of strokes off your game. But the most important secret weapon for golfing yogis is the power of focus, concentration and balance. As we learn to breathe deeply, we learn to let go of our thoughts and focus completely. Our swing becomes freer and smoother as we move out of the forced and choppy divot creating shoulder wrenching stroke and the ball flies further and our aim is truer. I invite you to try Yoga as a golf preparation and cross training disci- pline. Try breathing deeply, into your diaphragm, go ahead close your eyes, exhale, tighten the abdominal muscles, push all the air out of your body, now soften your belly and let the air stream back in. Continue for ten deep relaxing yogic breaths and feel the difference. Now you are ready to try a couple of stretches to increase your flexibility: Stand with your feet apart and gently swing your arms at shoulder height rotat- ing left/right. Exhale as your arm goes back, watch your hand on the way back, soft knees. 10 swings Connect your hands behind your back, opening through the chest, lift the arms as high as you can, hands still clasp- ing, now inhale and tip forward from the hip exhaling. Feel the stretch in your shoulders, lower back and ham- strings. Keep breathing 5 deep slow breaths, soften your knees come back up, release your hands, shake them out. Come into a lunge position, bend the front leg, reach down to the floor, push into the back heel stretching the Achilles tendon, lift the torso up, press the hips for- ward, open through your front, inhale deep into the belly. Step the back foot up and repeat on the other side.

NEWS ADVERTISER BILLBOARD July 1, 2001 ADVERTISING FEATURE Now that summer has finally arrived and the temperature contin- ually increases, we all look for ways to keep cool. What better way then a trip to the beach or a swimming pool. Competitive swimmers spend most of their time in a pool and suf- fer from a specific foot tendonitis, while the recreational swimmers’ injuries include puncture wounds, marine animal stings and sunburn that occurred at the beach or ocean. The most common injury for the competitive swimmer is a ten- donitis of the extension muscle (muscle on the top of the foot.) The repetitive nature of kicking by forc- ing the toes down (plantar flexing) and pushing the water will cause an inflammation of the extension ten- dons. Only the breast strokes does not involve this kind of kick. Treatment of extensor ten- donitis injuries involves rest, icing and non-steroidal anti-inflammato- ries. Continue swim workouts with less rigorous or no kicking. The most common injury for the recreational swimmer is punc- ture wounds. These can occur by stepping on a foreign object either while walking on the beach or swimming in a lake or ocean. The easiest way to avoid these injuries is to wear beach shoes. However if a cut occurs, clean the area, change the bandages daily and pad the area to decrease the pressure of weightbear- ing. If a foreign object has penetrated the foot, it may need to be removed by using a local anesthetic. More severe penetration may also require antibi- otics. Ocean swimming involves the danger of con- tact with marine animals such as the tentacles of a jellyfish, the back of a stingray or a sea urchin. Even coral has poisonous darts. Again be protective (not reactive) by wearing beach shoes. If you are stung, gen- tly irrigate the area with salt water to remove loose tentacles. Do not rub the area. For Portuguese man-of-war you should pour household vinegar over the area to inhibit any further toxin release and continue to irrigate with salt water. The toxins released by sea urchins, sting rays or catfish are heat sensitive and the affected area should be soaked in hot water for 30 minutes. This will also ease the pain. Sunburns affecting the front of the leg and the top of the feet are very common and painful beach injuries. You will notice redness, swelling and possible blister forma- tion. Initially, you should cover the burn area with towels soaked in COOL water. Never apply ice to the areas this will further injure the area. If blistering occurs, do not puncture the blister. However, if they break on their own you can use a topical antibiotic cream. Avoid further exposure to the sun until the area has completely healed. Another problem that begins quite innocent- ly is walking or jogging barefooted on the beach. This can lead to an inflam- mation or the plantar fas- cia ligament which runs along the bottom of the foot and attaches at the heel. The softness of the sand causes the foot to overextend as the foot always functions best as a lever against a rigid sur- face. This pain will usually resolve on it’s own but can certainly spoil a holiday.

In today’s busy world people pre- fer to take a shower. At Plumbing Mart they have the perfect alternative to the bathtub. It’s a shower con- version that utilizes the space of the tub and at the same time uti- lizing the existing plumbing. “As you can see in the photo, the shower conversion takes advantage of the entire space the tub took up,” says Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart. “It creates a shower with much more space. In fact there’s plenty of room for two people.” The seamless wall panel means no tiles or grout so main- tenance is simple. You also don’t have to move the drain or fix- ture locations. The conversion features optional multi-function shower heads, shower spray and many varieties of sliding glass enclo- sures. There is even an optional seat which women will love for shaving their legs. “You can have it completely installed for under $4,000 and in as little as 3 days” says Sam. “And at the same time adding tremendous value to your home.” Plumbing Mart are leaders when it comes to bathroom ren- ovations. Over the last 40 years they also have established an excellent reputation and have since expanded their specialty to include kitchens. “We already have the best combination when it comes to products and people,” says Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart. “We’ve done thousands of bath- rooms and kitchen projects.” Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the Plumbing Mart show- room 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.

The school has raised more than $13,000 toward the $40,000 cost of the new facility. The school’s seeking corporate sponsors to chip in on this project. Dunbarton students pumped up about new weight room Two pool performances add up to one golden mark LePage, MacLean a dazzling duo at synchro championships DURHAM — A synchronized swim- ming duo was golden in the water at the recent 2001 Provincial Age Group Championships in Toronto. More than 550 athletes from across Ontario competed at the age group provincials hosted at the Etobicoke Olympium Pool. The Durham Synchro Club — with several members from Ajax and Pickering — sent 14 swim- mers to the competition. In the 11-and-under category, Katie LePage finished first in figures, and Julia MacLean captured fifth. These marks represented half of the duet routine marks, and the LePage-MacLean duet brought home the gold medal for duet. The two also captured the Synchro On- tario trophy. In the 12 to 14 age category, the Durham team swam well and captured ninth place. Team members are Jordan Anderson, Rebecca Halls, LePage, MacLean, Brianna Maclellan and Samantha Zara. Michelle Lopers is the coach. In the 15 to 20 age group, the Durham team of Erin Cay, Pam Chernis, Michelle Ford, Cathy Hutchinson, Samantha Mitchell, Stacey Nosko, Jessi- ca Sanders and Jocelyn Tyce finished 21st. The team was invited to pre-swim its routine for the provincial champi- onship finals. The provincials represented the cul- mination of a successful season for LeP- age and MacLean. As a duet, they won gold at the Ottawa Invitational and were first at the Central East Regionals. Individually, LePage won gold and the Synchro Ontario trophy at the Lisa Alexander meet in November, gold at the Ottawa Invitational and was first at Central East Regionals. MacLean won bronze at the Lisa Alexander, bronze at the Ottawa Invitational and was second place at the Central East Regionals. Early last month, Durham’s two na- tional-level teams competed in Saska- toon and posted strong results. In the 14- and-under age category, Katie Cornish and Lauren LePage finished 11th and 14th, respectively, in figures. Durham’s 14-and-under team placed fourth in the team championship with their ‘Motown’ routine. Team members are Sophie Baetz-Dougan, Cornish, Lau- ren LePage, Laura Killey, Lindsay Maclean, Alison Rogin, Julie Scanlon and Rachel Scott. Debra Thomson coaches the team. In the 15 to 18 age group, the nine swimmers — Lianne Doerr, Lisa Doerr, Lara Goldsmith, Jennifer Guy, Jennilee Keslering, Rebecca Jasper, Tina St. John, Michelle Wever and Karin Zekveld — delivered an inspired perfor- mance to the theme of ‘good and evil’. The team, coached by Holley Lund- mark, secured 12th place among 28 teams. With their impressive routine, the team was invited to pre-swim at the na- tional championship finals. Competitive and recreational pro- grams begin again in the fall. For regis- tration information, call 905-720-7747. School seeking more corporate donations PICKERING —After more than a year of fund-rais- ing, a weighty project has been completed at Dunbarton High School. The ribbon was cut on a new weight room at the school earlier this month. The com- bined efforts of the school’s staff, students and the parent community raised $13,500 to- ward the overall $40,000 cost of new equipment for the weight room. The school is now seeking corporate partners to raise the remainder of the money, note the organizers. Corporate sponsorship could include ad- vertising on the score clocks in Dunbarton’s main gymnasium — a high-traffic area for the school’s students and commu- nity. The first corporate partner is Ontario Power Generation - Pickering Nuclear. Jennifer Froats, OPG’s public affairs representative, was on hand for the ribbon cutting and unveil- ing of the new weight room re- cently.
