About 100 coaches gave their stamp of approval Thursday to the return of Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) — the governing body of high school sports. But there is one condition — Thursday’s meeting at Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School only created a temporary executive to oversee operations until Sept. 28. A full nine-member executive needs to be in place by that date in order for LOSSA to move ahead for the remainder of the year. LOSSA suspended operations over a year ago in the midst of labour unrest between the provincial gov- ernment and high school teachers. High school athlet- ics, in general, have been in disarray for the past three years during the ongoing political upheaval. But it appears high school students will be return- ing to the fields and courts shortly. “It sounds like things are starting up,” said Rob Dy- ment, the Durham District School Board’s health and physical education facilitator, who is helping co-ordi- nate LOSSA’s return. “We’re not out of the woods yet, we still need that executive in place.” The temporary executive was created in order to notify the province’s governing body of high school sports — the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association — of Durham’s intention to send teams to Ontario championships, Mr. Dyment said. “Everyone is anxious and ready to go,” he said, not- ing conveners have volunteered to operate the tradi- tional fall sports of girls’ field hockey, girls’ basket- ball, football, boys’ ‘AAA’ volleyball and cross-coun- try. Conveners are still needed for ‘A’ and ‘AA’ boys’ ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Crossing the line AJAX ––Ajax Axemen forward Dave Brown (44) is pushed from the slot area by Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers goaltender Mike Andreoff during OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League pre-season play in Pickering Thursday night.

High school sports in Durham appear headed back after three-year absence Teen girl threatened with knife Two bandits rob Pickering amusement centre PICKERING —A knife was held to a 16-year-old girl’s throat and a co-worker was punched dur- ing a robbery at a children’s play centre Thursday. Durham Regional Police said employees were locking up the Air Zone, at 1095 Kingston Rd., at about 8:20 p.m. when two men showed up. The bandits approached a male victim standing outside, struck him in the head knocking him to the ground and entered the busi- ness, police said.

One was described as male, black, 6-feet tall, with a medium build wearing a black sweater and blue jeans. The second suspect was described as a Hispanic male, about 5-foot-10, 18 or 19 years old and with a medium build. The robbery squad is investigat- ing.

Pickering is not submitting information on policing or water services as it falls under Regional jurisdiction. The Province had originally set a June 30 deadline for the report cards but postponed the date when it seemed clear many of Ontario’s municipalities would not be able to meet it. This is the first year the report cards are being compiled and Mr. Paterson warned against comparing Pickering’s data to that of other municipalities, which may have different priori- ties. “It is like comparing apples to oranges,” he said. “It’s best to wait a couple of years and com- pare Pickering numbers to Pick- ering numbers, year after year.” Mr. Paterson said the detailed information, financial statements and performance indicators are being compiled and will first go to the audit committee and then be sent to council for considera- tion and approval within the next month. In the past, Pickering has made its financial statements available through its parks and recreation brochures, but Mr. Pa- terson said that plan would now be scrapped in favour of the re- quired report card. Caregivers can get creative this month PICKERING —A ‘creative care- givers seasonal solutions professional development’ program is being held at the Pickering central library this month. The Sept. 26 program begins at 7 p.m. with seasonal ideas for day-care providers to help keep children busy. Call 905-831-6265 beginning Sept. 12. Also, children aged three to seven are invited to attend the ‘fall into fun’ pro- gram to celebrate the arrival of autumn. That program is Saturday, Sept. 29.

At the same time, the planners announced results of their own public consulta- tion on the moraine, a ridge of sandy hills stretching 160 kilometres from the Trent River in the east to the Nia- gara Escarpment in the west. The provincial recom- mendations for the moraine, which came from a provin- cial panel set up to review the moraine’s future, is an “ex- cellent first step” said Alex Georgieff, Durham’s director of planning. However, the Region does have some sug- gestions based on the process it has undertaken, in conjunc- tion with the regions of Peel and York, the director added. The Durham planners’ con- clusions were presented at a committee meeting Aug. 28. “Three years ago we iden- tified a need for a higher order of policy,” said Mr. Georgieff, who noted at that time the Province was invited to participate in the study of the moraine but declined. During the regions’study, six areas were identified as re- quiring attention, including formation of a land-use poli- cy. There is a need for one agency or governing body to develop, maintain and moni- tor a database on water use across the moraine, said Mr. Georgieff. As well, he added, the re- gions’ report recommends the moraine be considered in the broader context of growth throughout southern Ontario. Durham environmentalist Linda Gasser told the plan- ning committee the three re- gions have “done an impres- sive job and identified many issues that must be dealt with when evaluating protection strategies for the Oak Ridges Moraine”. However, Ms. Gasser added, “The recom- mendations for a regional strategy... are premature and incomplete,” and should be delayed until the provincial panel makes its final recom- mendations and creates legis- lation, expected to be passed by mid-November. The planning committee recommendations are to be presented to Durham council for ratification on Sept. 12. ™Rogers Communications Inc.

BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Transport Canada began the public consulta- tion process last week for its ‘green- space project’ on the federally owned Pickering lands. Open houses were held at the Claremont Community Centre on Thursday and Saturday to discuss the steps to protect, as green space, the portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine and areas around the Rouge Park that were originally designated for a future airport site. A greenspace project team is ex- ploring the future stewardship and management of the lands and was in Claremont seeking input from stakeholders in the area. “We’re here to listen,” said David Washington, regional direc- tor of programs for Transport Cana- da. “We need the public’s feed- back... this gives us the chance to meet one on one, learn more about our own interests and those of the environmentalist groups, the neigh- bours, the tenants and the experts.” Transport Canada announced in March that it will preserve approxi- mately 2,251 hectares of the moraine on the northern portion of the lands and 800 hectares along the western boundary for the purpose of an alternate Rouge Park corridor. Mr. Washington said it would be premature to identify the different options being considered for the stewardship and added officials are “looking at a blank slate”. He said a decision is expected sometime this winter. Doug and Joyce Page, 36-year residents of Green River, were at Thursday’s open house. The Pages had their home expro- priated in 1972 as a part of the fed- eral government’s plan to reserve the land for a future airport and have been renting the property ever since. They said they attended the open house looking for clarification be- cause so many rumours were flying around about the future of their home. “They say they’ll give us three months notice before they do any- thing,” said Mr. Page, whose home is not on property that is part of the protected green space but is still on federally owned lands. “We were concerned, but it looks like we’re going to be here for awhile.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 9, 2001 PAGE 5 A/P Feds talk green space on airport lands during open house We’re online at durhamregion.com1-877-229-6112 Inquire about our September school & receive a FREE $10 long distance phone card.

Many of us have long had great concerns regarding the health effects of these chemi- cals, particularly on our children. Recently, the Ontario College of Family Physicians sent a newsletter to doctors outlining these health risks. According to the newsletter, re- search data strongly suggests exposure to common pesticides can be toxic to children, affecting brain function and causing some forms of cancer. Only a complete ban is useful because these pesticides are carried by the wind and washed into the groundwater, ultimately af- fecting the entire food chain and contami- nating our drinking water. We must eliminate these chemicals to the greatest degree possible. We should en- courage our council members to place an immediate ban on these chemicals until the industry proves they are safe. Waiting until 2004 is like allowing pharmaceutical com- panies to market drugs to the public while collecting data on their safety.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com He’s been dead for more than 20 years, but Terry Fox’s dream of beating cancer is more alive than ever. The young Canadian who galvanized the nation with his Marathon of Hope during the summer of 1980 has become a lightning rod in the battle against the disease that results in more premature deaths than anything else we face. Cancer is never far from the front page. Just a few days ago Montreal Canadiens captain Saku Koivu, just 26 and in the prime of his life, was diagnosed with cancer. Team Canada captain and hockey legend Mario Lemieux has had his own cancer battles and is himself a hero to those who’ve fought to overcome the horrible disease. But there was only one Terry Fox. His legacy of running a marathon a day for months on end woke this nation up. He raised about $12 million for cancer re- search during his four-and-a-half month run that ended when he was cruelly struck down by a return of cancer. Just nine months later, in June 1981, he died. But that September, Cana- dians rallied in his memory and now nearly 7,000 Terry Fox runs take place across the globe each September. A whopping $120 million has been raised for cancer research in the 20 years since. This will be the 21st consecutive Terry Fox Run for many organizers and participants. They’ve seen the cumulative ef- fect produced by the dream of one brave young man who de- cided he would do everything he could to change the world for those who would follow in his footsteps. And follow they did. The process of renewal begins again this coming Sunday, Sept. 16. In all the major centres of Durham, Terry Fox run participants will be hitting the pavement. Many of them will be remembering loved ones who were struck down by the dis- ease. Others, who have had cancer and beaten it, will be trying to create a cancer-free world. Everybody will have their own rea- son to walk, run, roll or ride. What will you do on Sept. 16? Will you take the time on that late summer morning to participate in a Terry Fox event, to make a pledge, to volunteer to help out? It is a chance to make a difference, to truly matter. It took a true Canadian hero to make us understand what must be done. Now it’s up to us. Where will you be next Sunday? Sept. 16 is Terry Fox’s day – celebrate his legacy by pitching in to beat cancer I’m sure the folks in Walkerton know the value of clean drinking water. However, I wonder if they would build a nuclear reactor there, even if there was only the slimmest chance it would affect their water supply. Last month City councillors in Pickering voted to support Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) applica- tion to allow the four ‘A’-side nu- clear reactors to return to service. Despite all the positive impacts a re- turn to service may bring to the City, it’s time now for a reminder of why the plant was shut down in the first place. The reactors have been down since 1997 following several fright- ening incidents. In 1992, a reactor leaked, resulting in a release of 2,300 trillion becquerels of radioac- tive tritium into Lake Ontario. The leak resulted in increased levels of tritium in drinking water from Whit- by to Burlington. Shockingly, On- tario Hydro, the operator until after the shutdown and subsequent cre- ation of OPG, also failed to report high levels of tritium in groundwater around the site for 18 years follow- ing its identification in 1979. The shutdown coincided with Ontario Hydro’s inability to meet a deadline for a mandatory shutdown system upgrade, a major component in avoiding a nuclear disaster. Yes, OPG says bringing the reac- tor back online will create 1,000 temporary jobs and 1,145 permanent jobs once it’s up and running. And, the more than $3 million in taxes paid by OPG to the City sounds good. But, would anyone want to trade safe drinking water for a few jobs and a couple of bucks? OPG has always maintained the level of tritium in our water is safe, well below any provincial standards, and said the plant is, and always was, safe. They say improvements to the reactors would bring them up to today’s standards by upgrading the emergency shutdown systems, re- placing parts of the heavy water sys- tem will avoid leaks and improving the air-handling systems will reduce releases of radioactivity. On the out- side of the reactor they will intro- duce better spill protection and im- plement systems to improve environ- mental performance. But, is all this enough to gain the public’s confidence in nuclear power? Once the plant is up and run- ning, and if there’s another leak, will we have to think twice about drink- ing the tap water or washing a piece of fruit? A final decision on the restart is expected to follow the last public hearing in Ottawa on Oct. 3 and OPG is hoping to begin restarting the A-side reactors at the end of March 2002. Just wanted to make sure we don’t forget the past or we may be condemned to repeat it. Let us not relive experiences of the past With restart process under way, now’s the time to review why reactors were shut down Martin Derbyshire Staff Writer mderbyshire@ durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 9, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P It’s often a family tradition BY LINDA WHITE Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM ––In days gone by, the general store was the hub of the village, where you’d pick up just about anything you’d need, socialize and find out what was happening in the community. Though they’ve largely been replaced by conve- nience stores, you’ll still find a few gener- al stores scattered throughout Durham Re- gion’s countryside. The following is a look at some of those stores, where you’re re- minded of the charm of yesteryear. On a typical summer day at the Ashburn General Store in north Whitby, chances are you’ll find someone cooling off with an ice cream cone on the covered porch. It could be someone travelling through, or a local who has just picked up their mail. “It’s not a fast-paced store,” owner Pam Palmer concedes. “I enjoy the laid-back, country style.” Still, it has its busy moments, especial- ly lunch hour, when construction workers in the area stop by for a sandwich, Cornish pastie or slice of pizza. And there’s always a pot of coffee brewing. You’ll find lots of things you might need in a pinch, from a can of soup, beans or vegetables, to paper towels and snacks. You can also pick up a few antiques and giftware and find out about upcoming events listed on the bulletin board. Locals drop by every day or two to pick up their mail “and have a little chat. It’s nice to hear about your neighbours and events that are going on in town,” says Ms. Palmer proudly. Built around 1850, the Ashburn General Store was once the hub of the village, where area farmers would pick up gro- ceries, as well as farm supplies, coal and coal oil. “It was one of the stopping spots for people selling cattle on their way to the Port of Whitby,” says Ms. Palmer. “It was a thriving community, with one or even two hotels, a blacksmith shop and an ac- countant.” ❑ ❑ ❑ In Tyrone, three generations have owned Byam’s General Store, built in 1835 as a hotel. It also once served as a post office, but today offers many of the same things you’d find in a convenience store, along with some nuts and bolts and a few pieces of a discontinued clothing line. The biggest difference, of course, is its rich heritage. Cliff Lionel Cyril Byam took over ownership of the shop from his father in the mid-1960s. His father had been running the shop since returning home from the First World War, following the death of his own dad, who purchased the building in 1894. Photos from the old days decorate the walls of the store, which still has what Mr. Byam believes are the original hardwood floors. He also has a receipt, possibly from the 1930s, when the store purchased a loaf of bread from a bakery in nearby Ponty- pool for just 2 cents and sold it for double. Though he doesn’t recognize as many faces as he once did, Mr. Byam has warm memories of the years he has spent there. “I just kind of fell into it,” admits Mr. Byam, who grew up in Tyrone and attend- ed a two-room schoolhouse that is now an apartment. “There was just one teacher,” he recalls. “She was a sharp old bird. You didn’t put too much over on her.” ❑ ❑ ❑ If you’re wondering where to have your dog’s nails clipped or where to get a load of topsoil, chances are you’ll find the an- swer at Wanamaker’s General Store in Seagrave, just north of Port Perry. “Everyone knows they can come and ask me for information on just about every- thing in the area,” boasts Wayne Wana- maker, who owns the store with his wife Pam. He recalls a visitor to the area who stopped in for directions. He figured out who she was looking for, let her know that her dad had been out picking up materials to build a deck, but should be home preparing the barbecue for her visit by the time she got there. “You get to know people,” Mr. Wana- maker explains. Seagrave’s general store has been through a few owners since it was built in 1872. An addition to the front, constructed in 1903, still remains. The original store was torn down by Mr. Wanamaker’s grandparents in the 1960s to make room for a better addition. While Mr. Wanamaker recognizes the struggles to survive today, he cherishes the role of general stores in days gone by. Pictures of the store in the 1930s, along with old class pictures, barn raisings and baseball teams, decorate the walls of the store. A focal point in the community for many years, the general store even earned its place in history in the cartoon ‘Birds- eye Center’ by James Llewellyn Frise. Surprisingly, Mr. Wanamaker occasionally enjoys a visit from someone who remem- bers the cartoon - which appeared in the 1930s in ‘Star Weekly’ - and recognizes the store. Who’s minding the general store? Cliff Lionel Cyril Byam operates Byam’s General Store in Tyrone, which has been in the family for three generations, since 1894. Cliff Lionel Cyril Byam welcomes visitors to his Tyrone general store, built in 1835 as a hotel.

Why would it make a difference? Until one is committed there is hesitancy, The chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, Concerning all acts of initiative and creation there is One element of truth, the ignorance of which kills Countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one That would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, Raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents And meetings and material assistance, Which no man could have dreamed would come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Goethe’s Faust Sometimes it is difficult to find the strength to look at our lives objec- tively, because we know, deep inside, that if we did we would need to make a change. We are afraid, what would hap- pen? To us, to the kids, to the job, to.......at this point we usually get so overwhelmed with anxiety, that it seems safer to stay unmoving, hanging on and surviving. But in the long run, is sur- viving living? Or can we learn to trust Goethe’s words that all manner of unforeseen inci- dents, meeting and material assistance will come our way once we make the commitment? To learn to trust these words, we need a new experience, one of looking inside to uncover our per- sonal wisdom and strength. There is no better way to unlock your personal genius, power and magic than to slow down, and listen to yourself. Yoga, Tai Chi and Mediation all allow you a deeper understanding of your life and its circumstances, these ancient disciplines give you the support you need to reach the point of making a commitment. This is the point from which opportunity rises to unfathomed heights. At Greenwood Holistic Health Care Centre our com- mitment is to helping our clients reach their personal goals. We are staffed to help you through the challenges of phys- ical, mental, and life changes. Please call to find out about our class schedules, retreats and other services.

Too many people believe that dentures are good for over 20 years. Nothing could be further from the truth! The removable prosthesis is made of a hard, rigid material. Your face, mouth and jaw, on the other hand, change over the years. Because it can- not adapt to these changes and because artificial teeth wear down with time, a prosthesis cannot do its job effectively for more than about five years. This reality can have devastating conse- quences that are often invisible and imperceptible to the wearer of a worn- out denture. Here is a short list of the most harmful possible effects suffered by wearers of prosthesis more than five years old: -softening of the tissues -painful irritated tissues -more labourious chewing and difficult digestion -headaches, earaches, neck pain and joint problems -sagging mouth, point chin and prematurely old face -accelerated resorption of the bone . . . and this is only a partial list! Very few people maintain their prosthesis properly. Some even neglect to remove it for the night. Don’t take chances with your health! See your denturist annually. When was the last time you saw your denturist? Pickering Denture Clinic offers free consultations. Please call Andre Maragh, (Denturist) at 905- 420-2652, located at the Loblaws Market 1792 Liverpool Rd., Pickering. Allergy or Sensitivity? The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that 15% of the total population suffers from both immunologic and non-immunologic reaction to foods. Of that, 1.5% experi- ence true allergy, and the remaining 13.5% suffer from food sensitivities (Konrad Kail, N.D. Allergy Free). The definition between Sensitivity and allergy is needed, as it is very misun- derstood. Allergy is an antibody mediated response, which is perma- nent; an individual will always release antibodies to an offending allergen, which directly affects the immune sys- tem. Allergies can be from combined sources (environmental, foods, chemi- cals . . .) but usually from one predom- inant source. Sensitivities are a non- antibody response; and may be related to an individual’s ability to metabolize and/or detoxify substances. Symptoms of sen- sitivities such as gas, belching, headaches, fatigues, diarrhea and many other bowl disorders which can lead to unfavorable condi- tions of the body such as weight gain, may be suc- cessfully overcome by sensitivity testing to remove offending foods from the diet, thus allowing the body to self-heal.

Three Bears Autobody is just such a place. It’s has state-of-the-art equip- ment and the highly experienced staff who are trained to do all insurance repairs for all insurance companies. “We do everything with the cus- tomer in mind,” says Kevin of Three Bears. “We know how important their vehicle is and that they want it to look the way it did before the collision. Available year round and with convenient hours they do everything from minor dents to major repairs. At Three Bears they use only the best quality UV protected urethane in a two-stage painting system. They also use a downdraft spray paint bake oven so your car will look better than it did when it rolled off the assembly line. As always and summer and fall are the best times to give new life to your family car or even that sports car in your driveway with a complete paint job and bodywork. “We want to exceed the cus- tomer’s expectations and have them so satisfied with the job we’ve done they’ll tell their friends and family,” says Kevin. Right now Three Bears will pay up to $200 towards your insurance deductible on collision repairs. “This is a perfect opportunity to get your vehicle repaired ,” says Kevin. “Another reason not to delay is our 90 day, no-interest, no-payment plan OAC.” Kevin always wants to remind you that you should never be pressured by a tow truck driver or insurance com- pany into taking it somewhere you don’t feel comfortable with. "Insurance companies or tow truck drivers may suggest preferred shops giving the impression you have to take it there," says Kevin of Three Bears Autobody. "Well you don't. You can take it wherever you want and all you need to get is one estimate.” More and more people are getting that one estimate and get their collision work done at Three Bears Autobody. Additional services provided include a free shuttle service as well as arranging a rental vehicle depending on your insurance coverage.

Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell admits he’s worried on several levels: Veteran depth, goal scoring and raw rookies who are not panning out as first expected. “We haven’t really had any young kids who’ve stepped up right now. None of them have really done that,” says Purcell. What confirmed Purcell’s assess- ment was a lacklustre performance against the Ajax Axemen in OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League pre-season play at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex Thursday night. The Panthers were beaten 5-3 by the same team they’ll open the South Conference season against at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers played the Port Hope Predators in exhibition action at Port Hope Saturday night. The result wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. The Panthers rallied with a goal late in the second period and another early in the third period to tie the Axemen 3- 3. The Axemen, however, regrouped and scored two unanswered goals later in the final frame to sew up the win. “We never played very well. Cer- tainly, we didn’t play as well as we did the night before,” says Purcell, eluding to a 6-1 win in Port Hope over the Predators of the league’s Eastern Con- ference Wednesday night. “We should have came back (Thursday against Ajax) and played a better game. I was not happy with the way we played.” Of particular worry was his charges’lack of finish around the net in the Ajax game, explains Purcell. “We had a number of scoring chances and the kids couldn’t put the puck in the ocean. When you have eight or nine scoring chances in a game, you should be burying them.” The lone bright spot among the rookies, says Purcell, has been the work of first-year goaltender Scott Gray, challenging incumbent Mike An- dreoff for the number-one job with the team. While the defence will likely be the club’s strongest suit with veteran rear- guards Alex Greig, Alex Pavloski and Kyle Aitken anchoring the blue line, veteran leadership on offence is some- thing the club is lacking. Only three veteran forwards — Garett Winder, Brent Chandler and John Buscema — are returning from last year. Sean Bradley, a defenceman turned forward, scored two goals against Port Hope. Single tallies went to Greig, Ryan Taylor, Kevin Day and Brock Brookwalter. No scoring information was available for the Ajax contest. The Panthers finish pre-season play in Oshawa Tuesday night against the Legionaires. NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 9, 2001 PAGE 15 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 9, 2001 PICKERING —The Pickering Power ATT-Rogers/Dr. Raymond Chan girls’ under-14 rep soccer team couldn’t be beat at the recent New- market Soccer Tournament. With sheer hard work and determi- nation, the Pickering girls marked five games without a loss to secure the championship at the two-day tourney. Pickering defeated the North Mis- sissauga Panthers 1-0 in the final, a nerve-racking double-overtime affair that ended in the final minutes of the second extra frame. A perfect corner kick by Jessie Draper led to a shot, with Shannon Gesualdo converting the rebound for the winner. The semifinal contest against the Bradford Selects was also a low-scor- ing, hard-fought affair, with the Pick- ering under-14s winning in a penalty kick shootout after regulation time ended in a scoreless draw. The first round of penalty shots resulted in a 3- 3 tie, which set the stage for sudden- death kicks. Ashley Woolstencroft scored the winner. In round-robin play, Pickering tied North Mississauga 2-2, and Newmar- ket 0-0 and beat Scarborough United 2-0 to advance to the semifinals. Pickering goalkeeper Natasia Szpak was voted the most valuable player of the event. Other team members are defence- men Catherine Levesque, Danielle Payne, Allison Fulton, Lauren Bach- mann, and Amanda Welch, midfield- ers Danielle Gesualdo, Vanessa Robinson and Lauren MacFadyen, and strikers Jennifer Adams, Kristy Mun- sie, Nichole Blanco and Melissa Egan. Absent were Jassie Hayer and Sheena Yacoob. Gene Gesualdo and AJ Hayer coach the team.
