All roads lead to 2021 Pickering hosts open house Monday on Durham transportation study BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM — A two-year study on Durham’s transportation infrastructure rec- ommends $438 million in capital investment and a 15-per cent reduction of automobile use by 2021. “The plan recognizes Durham is going to grow over the next 20 years” and needs to have transportation systems in place to ac- commodate it, said Gene Chartier, regional manager of transportation planning and de- sign. He noted the Region is now seeking public comment on the report’s recommen- dations at four upcoming open houses. The first is Monday in Pickering. “Public transit is one of the cornerstones of our future transit system,” said Mr. Chartier. “One of the key recommendations is the reduction in automobile traffic by 15 per cent by 2021,” over what it would be if current patterns continue, he said. “We thought it was a realistic but chal- lenging target for this region.” Mr. Chartier suggested a range of differ- ent services along the Hwy. 2 corridor con- necting the urban nodes within Durham, combined with transit-friendly land use and more effective public transit for north- Toronto bound commuters could help the Region reach this objective. The draft of the transportation master plan is the result of two years of public input and study by a political steering committee with representatives from all Durham mu- nicipalities and with the assistance of con- sultants and regional staff. It also recom- mends expansion of many major regional Boards may cancel student trips Move considered in light of terrorist attacks BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s Catholic and public school boards may cancel some or all school trips in light of the recent terrorist attacks on the United States.

Appointees to the finance com- mittee include Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land and Ward 3 Regional Council- lor Rick Johnson. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles and Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan have been appointed to the operations commit- tee. Meetings of the finance and op- erations committees will be held on the fourth Monday of each month, tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. respectively, although is- sues of public interest may require moving the meetings to the evening. In addition, councillors McLean, Pickles and Ryan have been ap- pointed to the site plan advisory committee. No meetings have been sched- uled at this point. Coun. Brenner said although it was discussed earlier, councillors would receive no additional pay as a part of the new committee structure. The councillors are appointed to the finance and operations commit- tees for a term to expire Nov. 30, 2003 and to the site plan advisory committee for a term ending Nov. 30, 2002.Join the discussion atdurhamregion.comPUBLIC SALE With this new machine, you just set the dial and see magic happen, straight stitch, zigzag, buttonholes, blind hem, satin stitch, serge, overlock stitch, stretch stitches.

The study showed the need to expand road systems through- out the southern part of the region, to “continue widening Taunton Road from Ajax to Whitby from the current two to six lanes over the next 20 years,” said Mr. Chartier, who added most other major roads south of Taunton that are currently two lanes are rec- ommended to ex- pand to four lanes. These in- clude Brock Road and Whites Road in Pickering; Lak- eridge Road, which is the Ajax and Whitby bor- der; Hwy. 12 and Thickson Road in Whitby; Ritson and Harmony roads in Oshawa; and Townline Road and Region- al Road 57 from Hwy. 401 to Hwy. 2 in Clarington. Mr. Chartier said the road ex- pansions recog- nize the fact “there is always going to be a role for the automo- bile. We’re not throwing all our eggs in one bas- ket,” he said.

He did not have a specific number but said “a handful” of trips were approved in the spring. Mr. Andrews said the board has put in place a moratorium on the approval of new trips. “That doesn’t mean that new ones will not be approved,” he stressed. “We want to get some feedback from our principals and they will likely have some con- versations with school councils.” Norm Powers, operations su- perintendent at the Durham Dis- trict School Board, said the ele- mentary and secondary school principals’ associations have been asked to gather statistics on what school trips are planned and what costs students would face if a trip were cancelled. They will discuss that informa- tion with board officials at meet- ing Thursday, where a decision on whether or not to cancel all or certain school trips is expected. “We haven’t directed any- body to cancel a trip,” he said, adding, “There may be teachers and parents making these deci- sions as well.” Mr. Powers said he was not aware of any school trips being shelved, but the board has can- celled, until further notice, all cross-Atlantic flights by employ- ees. He said a group was to leave for Norway last Thursday and another was slated to fly to Ger- many next month. “We’re not concerned about air travel per se, but what hap- pens if you get an employee stranded over there for a month,” said Mr. Powers. He said the board “doesn’t want to give in to terrorists”, but at the same time “we want to be cautious”. The decision to cancel has al- ready been made at O’Neill Col- legiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa: a planned Oct. 22 to 24 trip to Ottawa has been “post- poned indefinitely”, according to a letter written by geography teacher Steve Rae that went home to parents, guardians and students. It states the board on Sept. 17 “passed a motion re- stricting travel for student trips and for board employees, in the wake of the New York City tragedy and with the expectation of further, retaliatory action.” Board spokesman Andrea Pidwerbecki, however, said the board has made no such decision on student trips. Mr. Rae, in an interview Fri- day, explained the trip was in the planning stages and had not yet been approved. He said the letter was written as a result of a mis- understanding of the direction from administrative council. The fate of the trip remains up in the air. Board considers cancelling trips Decision likely will come this week following principals’meeting BOARD from page 1 NORM POWERS ‘We haven’t directed anybody to cancel a trip.’ 1050 Brock Rd.

Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, is misleading the public when he denies the four Pickering ‘A’ nuclear reactors are sub- standard. In fact, even with the planned upgrades, the emergency shutdown system will not meet the current standard for all newer nu- clear reactors in Ontario, which is two com- pletely separate fast reactor shutdown sys- tems. Pickering A reactors will only have a single enhanced fast shutdown. Mr. O’Brien said it’s a ‘double’system, but he’s referring to the slower ‘moderator dump’ unique to Pickering A, which, as he knows, does not qualify as a fast shutdown system. The emergency core cooling system at Pickering A is another safety system that doesn’t quite meet the same standards re- quired for newer reactors. These compro- mises are being allowed because Pickering A was designed and built in the 1960s, be- fore the current standards came into effect. These safety systems along with the con- tainment system have a past record that shows they may not operate properly during an accident. The environmental assessment on the proposed restart of Pickering A was a whitewash because the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission refused to require a re- view of accidents where the containment system failed. A meaningful review of Pickering A restart should have included the full conse- quences of a severe reactor accident, includ- ing the human health, environmental and economic impacts. That is the only way to fairly judge the risk of restarting Canada’s oldest commercial nuclear station. But our federal regulator, which is supposed to be protecting our interests, is breaking its neck to look the other way when it comes to se- vere nuclear accident impacts.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 23, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Canadians clearly were uncomfortable about being ignored in President George W. Bush’s speech to the world Thursday night. It’s understandable when you consider the 100,000 who at- tended last Friday’s Parliament Hill memorial to the victims, or those who gave blood, donated funds or travelled to New York City to offer help. What about the 40 Canadians who died at the World Trade Center, or the many thousands across Canada who opened their doors to U.S. citizens, stranded here when North American airports were closed just after the attacks? But we must put aside any bitter feelings and focus on the task at hand. One speech does not change the fact that over 6,000 human beings have died as a result of terrorist attacks. It should not waver our responsibility as Canadians in assisting our neighbours and taking a strong stand for a free world. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who was in attendance Thursday evening, has led the way among allied leaders in of- fering absolute full military backing to the U.S. cause. Aus- tralian Prime Minister John Howard has said, “There is no point in a situation like this, being an 80 per cent ally.” The opposition parties in Britain and Australia have stood fully behind the prime ministers. Leaders from Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, along with French President Jacques Chirac and Mr. Blair have already been to the White House to pledge their support. Mr. Chretien will make his visit Monday. Critics of Prime Minister Jean Chretien demanded he show our most powerful and closest ally unequivocal 100-per cent backing for the mission to wipe out terrorists across the globe. Squabbling in the House of Commons and barbs from Op- position leader Stockwell Day and Tory leader Joe Clark don’t serve to improve the situation. Canadians are looking for our leaders to take the lead and stand united. This is not the time for finger pointing or politi- cal posturing. Anxiety-laden citizens want to feel safe and government in- fighting will only serve to deepen our fears and blacken this country’s name in front of the world. While it is the Canadian way to debate and find compro- mise, this is one cause we must all support. There can be no halfway measures with terrorists. They don’t want to talk; they want to kill. The goals they espouse must be destroyed so our way of life can be preserved. It’s time for Canada’s leaders to show they fully back - militarily and economically - the U.S. mission to stop the terror. The world is waiting. Just where does Canada stand? Presidential snub raises questions about our role in U.S. response to terrorists Monday night’s public school board meeting was the setting for yet another shameful display by some Durham trustees. Rude, arrogant, disruptive, self-im- portant. You pick an adjective because they all apply to those members of the Durham District School Board who just don’t understand they are not, and are not expected to be, education ex- perts in the same league as staff. Oth- ers appear drunk with power, acting simply because they are able to act. The bottom line is these people want to drive the board agenda with bad ideas, and take it personally when other trustees don’t fall in line. News flash: it isn’t about you and your feel- ings. It’s about priorities, devoting most of your attention to what is most important. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford on Monday said he had intended “to do something in a grandstand way tonight”, then proceeded to grand- stand. He wants trustees to find sav- ings that could be diverted to remedi- al help for students and plans to start with trustee expenses, a miniscule percentage of the board’s budget. Later, he vowed to produce, every week, one area where trustee expens- es could be reduced. During budget talks, Trustee Crawford also called for staff to find savings and use the money where it was most needed. Then and now he had no suggestions on where this money could be found. Ajax Trustee Melinda Crawford, arguing why trustees should be able to claim professional development courses as expenses, said, “We would like as a board to be informative, up- to-date, just like staff development.” If that’s the case, then go into schools and talk with students, teachers, other staff and parents. Develop a list of contacts in the community you repre- sent and utilize the Internet. Also Monday night, Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler lamented, “we waste so much time.” This is the same trustee who prompted a review of the board’s medication procedures for students, though staff suggested it wasn’t necessary, because she read a story in a newspaper. Waste of time indeed. The time-wasting is coming from these trustees who make work when there’s already plenty of more important stuff to do. Shape up and get over yourselves. As school community council elections take place, I invite all SCC chairmen to contact me with informa- tion about your new council and its members, as schools will not release your names and phone numbers. Of course, anyone is welcome to contact me with education story ideas. E-mail mruta@durhamregion.com, fax infor- mation to 905-683-7363 or call me at 905-683-5110, ext. 253.

Mary Street program has students hooked on books BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Literacy Mountain is once again a focal point at Mary Street Communi- ty School, part of a mountain range soon to be filled with climbers at various heights work- ing their way to the top, and then moving on to the next challenge. The felt mountain, displayed on a wall near the main office, records how many books stu- dents have completed in the home reading program, ‘climbing literacy mountain’, that started last year and has become a smashing success. Principal Barbara Farrow said she, her staff and parent volunteers initially hoped students would read 100 books a year. But some kids read 100 books in a month, and before long Literacy Mountain was too short to record the accomplishments of the avid readers and more mountains were added. “Last year we had one boy who read 500 books, and we only started (the program) half- way through the year,” she said. Part of the program’s success, said Ms. Farrow, is its simplicity. Every day, students choose a book from the collection at the school, take it home and read it to mom, dad, a brother or sister, or even themselves. A par- ent records how many times the student read the book, and then it’s on to another title the next day. There are no complicated work- sheets, kids can read to anybody (even their the teddy bear) and school staff from the be- ginning determined there would be no penal- ties for roughing up a book. “We wanted them to read,” said Ms. Far- row. “And you know what? They didn’t abuse the books. They took wonderful care of them.” In a group interview of students, enthusi- asm for the program was palpable. “I love reading,” said Grade 6 student Mary McDonald. Asked if she wouldn’t rather watch televi- sion, Mary’s face scrunches up a negative re- sponse. “I’d rather read and play with my friends,” she said. Her goal is to read 500 books this year, and storybook hero ‘Captain Underpants’is on her reading list. “It makes everybody laugh,” Mary said of the series of books. Matthew Butland is something of a celebrity at the school after reading 500 books last year in just four months. He said he did it by “reading them over and over to myself. “I’m going to try and beat my record,” Matthew vowed. Reilly Melville, a Grade 3 student, is going to try and read 200 books, or chapters, since every chapter in a longer title counts as a book. “Reading’s my favourite thing to do and it’s one of my hobbies,” she said. Reilly thinks it’s fun to read chapter books “because it leaves you in suspense after you’ve read a chapter”. Grade 2 pupil Dillon Heywood likes the fact he can watch his progress up Literacy Mountain and read chapter books. His goal this year, perhaps a bit ambitious, is 5,000,000 books. Ms. Farrow said it’s a monumental job or- ganizing the books and distributing them to kids, and the program would be nowhere without parent volunteers like Pat Wadding- ton and Nancy Hall, who give a lot of their time. Ms. Waddington said part of her job is to count how many books students have read at the end of each week. “I like that because you really get to hear from the kids,” added Ms. Hall. “They’ll tell you, ‘I want a book with eight pages.’” The books are colourful, short and geared to each student’s age level, said Ms. Waddington. Each pupil has a number of books from which to choose, which she be- lieves is a part of the program’s success. “That way you’re giving them something they’re interested in in the first place,” said Ms. Waddington. Ms. Hall noted a Canada Trust/Toronto Dominion Friends of the Environment Foun- dation grant of $2,300 enabled the school to purchase roughly 1,200 books to get the pro- gram started. Both parents said the students don’t see the reading program as homework, but as fun. Marjorie Robson, the school’s special-ed- ucation resource teacher, said teachers are now incorporating the program into their own classrooms. She noted that while getting young boys to read is a recognized problem, the program seems to be making a difference in that regard. “Amazingly enough, when we see people hitting the top of the mountain, we’re seeing boys,” said Ms. Robson. The program started midway through last year for students in grades 1 to 3, before ex- panding to kindergarten and older students. “The whole family bought into the pro- gram and children really wanted to succeed,” said Ms. Farrow. She said she doesn’t remember who came up with the idea, but the motivation to take action to improve reading habits came last November, when the first provincial Grade 3 and 6 reading, writing and math results were released by the Education Quality & Ac- countability Office. “Only 50 per cent of our children are read- ing at the provincial standard and that dis- mayed us,” said Ms. Farrow. “We thought, ‘we’ve got to do better than this; we’ve got to do better for our kids.’” If your school is doing something innovative in the classroom, we’d like to hear about it.

She is also someone who has experi- enced change in her life when it comes to los- ing weight by changing her eating habits. “I know how it feels physically and emotionally to have a weight problem and digestive disorders,” she explains. “This experience helps me to work with my clients so they can achieve their goals.” Evelyn has designed a 4 step program for her clients that is easy to follow and has resulted in long term results. The first step is a 1 hour consultation. She finds out what you’ve been eating and how you’ve been feeling. It’s a time to learn about good and bad eating habits as well as the differences between good and bad diges- tion. Next you take home a questionnaire. This helps you to see which systems you may be having trouble with including digestion, elimination and respiratory as well as prob- lems associated with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Once this is done the next step is to determine whether you need a detoxification program. “You may feel bloated all the time, have bad breath or feel tired all the time,” says Evelyn. “Detoxification is the body’s natural process of elimination or neutralizing of tox- ins via the liver, the kidneys, the urine, feces, exhalation and perspiration.” This step of the program also includes your eating plan based on your needs whether it’s for detoxification, weight loss or both. Evelyn provides you with easy and affordable recipes and an individualized eat- ing plan which will include herbal supple- ments for detoxification. She will also instruct you on healthy food substitutions in particular replacing the 4W’s: white rice; white flour; white pasta and white sugar. The last part of the program is your maintenance stage when Evelyn reexamines your eating habits and how you feel to deter- mine if you need to modify your eating plan.

But after making roughly $3 mil- lion in cuts and using $1.8 million in reserves to balance this year’s budget, and with a staff report coming next month suggesting permanent cuts to next year’s budget, both board chair- man Elizabeth Roy and education di- rector Grant Yeo are not confident there’s any trimming left to be done. In motioning for the ad hoc com- mittee at Monday’s board meeting, Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said the exercise should begin with trustee expenses, and any savings would be transferred to a “remedial envelope” to help students. “We would start with ourselves but we wouldn’t be limited to ourselves,” he said. However some trustees criticized the idea, and in an interview, Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy said, “I don’t think we’ll find any further savings.” She noted trustees previously formed an ad hoc committee to review medication procedures, though staff members who administer medication A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 23, 2001 Wary trustees agree to ad hoc budget committee to pupils have expressed no con- cerns with what’s in place. Education director Grant Yeo, at the meeting, also expressed doubts that trustees will find sav- ings. “After cutting $3 million out in the last (budget) process, you will have a difficult task,” he said. Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine charged the pro- posal amounts to “reopening the budget” and believes “it can be counter-productive to the (staff budget-cutting) process in place.” Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge suggested trustees should look elsewhere for more money. “I think it undermines our highly competent staff,” she said. “If you’re looking for money, go knock on (Education Minister) Janet Ecker’s door.” There were no objections when Trustee Roy proposed the entire board sit on the ad hoc committee.

This year’s success brings the total raised by the tournament to more than $675,000 since it began in 1995. The dollars raised have supported the purchase of vital medical equipment for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering including a CT Scanner, sophisticated surgical instrumen- tation and surgical orthopaedic equipment. Proceeds from this year’s tournament will support the purchase of life-saving cardiac diagnostic imaging and testing equipment such as electro- cardiograms (ECG’s). “This tournament has always had a heart,” says Event Co-chairman Bill Collier. “But this year we wanted to show that golfing in the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic is good for the hearts of all West Durham residents.” Heart disease is Canada’s number one killer. The state-of-the-art cardiac equipment, a vital component in saving lives, will be critical in the early detection and treatment of heart conditions. “Golfing in the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic is a great way to spend the day. More importantly it’s a fantastic way to support our community hospital as it delivers the necessary health care services our family and friends are entitled to” remarked Mr. Collier. The Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic is one of the most successful charity golf tournaments in the GTA thanks to the leadership of Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, Mayor of Ajax Steve Parish and Mayor of Pickering Wayne Arthurs as well as the outstanding support of the tournament’s generous corporate partners including Pickering Town Centre, Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club, Royal Bank Financial Group, Ontario Power Generation, Ajax/Pickering News Advertiser, Transamerica Life Canada and Future Planning Insurance Agency Ltd.

NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, September 23, 2001 PAGE 11 A/P On Thursday September 13th over 200 golfers teed off to support the purchase of much-needed cardiac diagnostic equipment for our community hospital, the Rouge Valley Health System’s Ajax and Pickering Health Centre. The additional cardiac testing, monitoring and diagnostic equipment such as electrocardiograms (ECG’s) and Holter recording devices will, quite literally, save lives. Earlier detection, treatment and intervention can reduce the severity of heart conditions and, in the best case - prevent occurrence of Canada’s number one killer. Just as the equipmen,t purchased by this event, will make hearts stronger, the newly formed Rouge Valley Health System Foundation will make the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre stronger. The Rouge Valley Health System Foundation will combine the strengths of both the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation and the Centenary Health Centre Foundation. The new Foundation is deeply committed to raising funds to support vital medical equipment purchases for both the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre and the Rouge Valley. Our hospital is the vital centre of West Durham. As West Durham grows and develops, so too must the hospital. Everyone’s support, through donations or events like the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic, is critical in ensuring that Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering is able to deliver the health care services West Durham is entitled to. Thank you for your continued support of your community hospital. Sunny skies and rolling greens help make the hearts of over 200 golfers a little stronger! Foundation announces Inaugural Howard Sokolowski Award For well over 10 years, Howard Sokolowski, President and CEO of Tribute Communities has donated his time, his leadership, his financial support and his outstanding business reputation to ensure that the goal of providing excellent health care, close to home, for the residents of West Durham, is met and surpassed. On Thursday September 13th, 2001 the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation formally honoured Mr. Sokolowski’s outstanding contributions to the Rouge Valley Health System’s Ajax and Pickering Health Centre by creating the Howard Sokolowski Award. This award will be given annually to an individual or company in the community that has shown exemplary leadership in embracing the goal of improving health care for the residents and employees of our community. Each award will be a unique piece of art commissioned by the Foundation that is created by a local artist. Pickering-resident Edward Falkenberg created this year’s award. Like Howard, the recipient of the inaugural award was an individual who has an outstanding record of business accomplishments. As President of Pickering-based Lenbrook Group of Companies, Gordon Simmonds has become well known for his part in the largest telecommunications deal in Canadian history. The Toronto Star has called his family business a “pillar of entrepreneurialism”. Gord has brought that same entrepreneurial spirit to his volunteer work. Since agreeing to chair the $13.7 million Vital Signs Campaign in May of 2000, he has been integral in building and leading a team of volunteers committed to raising the funds required to support the much-needed expansion and redevelopment of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering. As well as donating his time and business expertise he has also given his financial support to the hospital. Recently in pledging his company’s commitment to the hospital his words were simply “...we are not prepared to leave this responsibility to others. For the sake of our current and future employees, our friends, and our families, you can count on us.” On behalf of the patients and staff of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering the Foundation would like to thank Howard Sokolowski for the leadership he has shown. We would also like to congratulate award winner Gordon Simmonds. His support, like Howard’s, is truly worthy of a standing ovation.

West Durham physicians are now able to refer their patients to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering for a variety of outpatient cardiac diagnostics tests such as Echocardiograms, Holter Monitoring, Stress Tests and Electrocardiograms. Previously West Durham residents had to travel to other hospitals or into Toronto to get these tests done. According to Dr. Joseph Ricci, Medical Director of Rouge Valley’s Cardiac Care Program, the service is vital to the early, accurate diagnosis of heart problems. “Heart disease and stroke are major causes of illness, disability and death in Canada and they exact high personal, community and healthcare costs” says Dr. Ricci. “Bringing these cardiac services out into the wider community helps physicians appropriately care for their patients.” Heart disease comes in many forms. Some of the most common include Coronary artery disease (where the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart become blocked), Arrhythmias (where the heart beat starts to malfunction), Valve disorders (one or more of the heart valves do not function properly), and Heart Muscle Disease. It is vitally important to monitor heart health with the most advanced and accurate equipment. Hospital is now able to monitor the vital signs of its community thanks to the success of the 6th annual Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic Pain * Sudden discomfort or pain that does not go away with rest * Pain that may be in the chest, neck, jaw, shoulder, arms or back * Pain that may feel like burning, squeezing, tightness, heaviness or pressure * In women, pain may be more vague Shortness of breath * Difficulty breathing Nausea * Indigestion * Vomiting Sweating * Cool, clammy skin Fear * Anxiety * Denial Warning signs may be mild or severe. If you or someone you know is having any of these signs, CALL 911 immediately. http://www.on.heartandstroke.ca Heart Attack Warning Signs Heart Healthy Tips * Don’t smoke. Not smoking may help increase the “good” cholesterol in your blood. It also reduces your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, and common cancers. * Control your weight. The best way to do this is to eat a balanced diet and stay physically active. Avoid fad or miracle diets. * Eat a wider variety of foods. According to Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating, we should enjoy a variety of foods and choose lower-fat foods more often. * Get moving. As little as 60 minutes a day of accumulated physical activity will help keep your heart in shape. Not sure how to start? Try the Physical Activity Guide for some ideas. * Have regular medical check-ups that include measurement of your blood cholesterol level. You can also be tested for diabetes, one of the major risk factors for heart disease. * If you have any concerns about your heart health, be sure and ask your doctor. Health!Canada Magazine 2001 http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/english/magazine/2001_02/heart.htm Proceeds from the Pickering Town Centre 2001 Mayors’ Charity Classic will support the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment that has been installed in the new Cardiac Diagnostic Unit. Funds will also be put towards the purchase of new ECG (electrocardiogram) machines to be used in the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit and on other patient floors in the hospital. West Durham residents over the age of 40 are encouraged to have an annual heart check up done as a preventative measure. Cardiac Diagnostic Services is open Monday to Friday - 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Patients are booked for appointments by their Family Physician or a specialist.

Ask for details. $ $ Don’t pay for 90 days OAC *Coupon must be presented prior to work being started Accidents will happen and when they do you have to choose a repair shop to bring it back to its original condition. Three Bears Autobody is just such a place. It’s has state-of-the-art equipment and the highly experi- enced staff who are trained to do all insurance repairs for all insurance companies. “We do everything with the customer in mind,” says Kevin of Three Bears. “We know how impor- tant 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 every- thing from minor dents to major repairs. At Three Bears they use only the best quality UV protected ure- thane in a two-stage painting sys- tem. 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 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 com- plete 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 insur- ance 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-pay- ment plan OAC.” Kevin always wants to remind you that you should never be pres- sured by a tow truck driver or insur- ance company into taking it some- where 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 cover- age. There is also a five year war- ranty on the paint and a warranty on collision work for as long as you own the vehicle. For more information call (905) 619-2327 or visit their shop at 282 Monarch Ave., Unit 20B in Ajax.
