Home My WebLink AboutNA2001_11_18BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —The Province has given the go-ahead for sirens and indoor radios within three kilometres of Durham’s two nu- clear plants, says Durham’s Emergency Measures Ontario (DEMO) director. All that’s needed now is for Regional council and Durham’s lakeshore municipalities to give their blessing to the approximate- ly $2-million plan that would alert residents in the case of a nu- clear emergency and the equip- ment can then be purchased, says Ivan Ciuciura, the DEMO direc- tor. “Once the councils approve it there’s no impediment,” says Mr. Ciuciura, who notes the munici- palities have been requesting this type of alerting system from the Province, which regulates emer- gency preparedness procedures. “The Province has agreed to it and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has agreed to pay for it.” The approval came at a meet- ing Thursday afternoon between the provincial emergency mea- sures office, OPG and the chief administrative officers of the Durham lakeshore municipali- ties. The system will consist of 29 sirens and 6,000 indoor tone alerting systems for residents liv- ing within three kilometres of the Pickering plant and another 17 sirens and 100 indoor systems for those within three kilometres of the Darlington Nuclear Generat- ing Station. There will also be more than 300 special indoor sys- tems for the hearing impaired, says Mr. Ciuciura. “I think it’s great news,” says Clarington Mayor John Mutton. “It’s something we’ve been trying to make happen and it’s going to come to fruition. Now it’s time to get moving on a 10-kilometre alerting system. On behalf of the residents of Oshawa and Claring- ton who live within the 10-kilo- metre area, it has to be imple- mented.” The Province did not give the go-ahead to expand the system throughout an existing 10-kilo- PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Students learn Atom Dolphins in faraway place advance to finals FEATURE/8 SPORTS/17 PRESSRUN 44,400 24 PAGES SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2001 OPTIONAL 4 WEEK DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND INCREDIBLE PRICE!

The event took place at the school Thursday. See ALERTING page 2 See CHILDREN page 5 metre nuclear primary zone, says Mr. Ciuciura. However, if the councils ap- prove the proposed system right out to 10 kilometres, that proposal will go back to the Province for reconsidera- tion, he says. The cost to expand the system across the primary zone would add about $15 million to the price tag, also to be paid by OPG. Mr. Ciuciura notes it may be possi- ble to find a “compromise” system for the 10-kilometre zone. “There may be other ways of doing it. One option that may be de- termined suitable for going out to 10 kilometres is just sirens,” he suggests. With the new system, once sirens and indoor alarms are sounded, resi- dents would then turn on their televi- sion or radio for further instructions, says Mr. Ciuciura. He points out there is a system in place now to alert all residents within the 10-kilometre zone through a tele- phone auto-dialling system. But it takes much longer to notify everyone through that system, he says. A system test this week took 21 minutes to notify 8,000 people. The Pickering plant’s 10-kilometre zone includes more than 70,000 prop- erties and Darlington’s primary zone includes almost 40,000. As well, the telephone system relies on people to be in their homes or businesses to an- swer. By contrast, Mr. Ciuciura says, once the sirens and indoor radio sys- tems are activated, all residents in the area who need to be notified would immediately be alerted. The recommendations from the meeting are expected to go to area councils for approval in the coming weeks.

BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM ––The board of the local community care access centre wants changes made to proposed new legislation governing the 43 centres in Ontario. While Durham Access To Care’s board likes some of the bill, it does- n’t approve of governance changes which will turn the independent, community-appointed board into a provincially-appointed statutory corporation. “There is a risk the expertise de- veloped by our community board members and the lessons learned over the past five years will be lost through this proposal,” said Bill Botshka, president of DATC. “DATC is, I believe, one of the best CCACs in the province,” he said at a press conference Wednes- day. In a recent accreditation process, the firm doing the accreditation re- ported DATC is “innovative, cre- ative and pushing the envelope” in the way it supervises home care and other services to thousands of resi- dents of Durham Region, he said. “We find a lot of positives” in Bill 130, introduced by Associate Health Minister Helen Johns last week, Mr. Botshka said. The legis- lation offers “some significant op- portunities for CCACs and will help ensure equal access to consistent, high quality services for Ontario residents, he said. What the board does- n’t like and wants changed are requirements that the board and chief executive officer of all 43 CCACs in Ontario be ap- pointed by the Province through or- ders-in-council. The CEOs would also report to the board and the Province, giving them two bosses, Mr. Botshka said. The size of the board would also be cut to five to seven people, about half the current size. While a few CCACs have had problems recently, that’s no reason to subject all of them to these new governance requirements, he said. Under the legislation, communi- ty advisory councils would be set up to help advise the new boards, act- ing as links with local hospitals and long-term health care, Ms. Johns said.

That’s when the public school board is slated to ap- prove its second, system- wide accommodation and school improvement plan. But Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, ex- pects that meeting to come and go with no plan ap- proved. “As it stands right now, (Dec. 17 is) the goal,” she said. “Do we have an accom- modation plan on Dec. 17th? I don’t think so.” The $89-million draft plan proposes the closure of seven elementary schools, and Trustee Roy said she has re- ceived “tonnes” of e-mails and phone calls from those affected communities and others left off the plan. So have other trustees, some of whom have said publicly they support keeping some of those schools open. “I think there’s going to be attempts to make changes (to the plan),” said Trustee Roy. She said she might sug- gest additions to the plan be- yond what is already pro- posed, but otherwise supports it. “It has to be done, there has to be schools closed,” she said. “There has to be consol- idation of schools to enable programs.” Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers opposes the clo- sure of Epsom Public School in his municipality. And the more he considers the plan, the more he questions closing any small school. “I will not support this plan at all,”Trustee Demmers said in an interview. “The more we dig into this, the more I feel it needs not just fine-tuning, but revamping.” He does, however, support parts of the plan, given his own analysis of student num- bers and school needs: the transformation of Exeter High School in Ajax into an elementary facility and the building of new schools in Ajax; addressing secondary needs in Uxbridge and Whit- by and adding space to Dun- barton High School. But, Trustee Demmers questions whether or not a new elementary school is needed in Brock, and if the full $12 million is needed to improve Uxbridge Secondary School. “Maybe we’ll give schools what they need in- stead of what they want,” he said. Trustee Demmers said the accommodation plan process is a good one and predicted, “We will end up with a good plan,” one he believes would be satisfactory to all school communities. Trustee Roy said most of the people she has heard from opposed the closures because the facility is in their commu- nity school. But schools with smaller populations are not necessarily the best option for students when it comes to something like extracurricu- lar activities, Trustee Roy ar- gued. “If there’s a better oppor- tunity at the end of the rain- bow at another school... then why would you not give that opportunity to the kids?” she asked. “Small schools are great, but medium schools, you have a better opportunity for the kids to be involved.” Trustee Roy said due to the way the Province funds new pupil places, the accom- modation plan is about dol- lars. She hopes trustees “look at the bigger picture”, but said all trustees, especially the first-year board members, have tough decisions to make. If the schools slated for closure were taken off the list, she said the plan would have to be far more limited in scope, since the closures gen- erate new dollars under the funding formula. Trustee Demmers said studies show smaller schools have happier students and teachers and higher pupil achievement. He questioned whether closing the schools will make much of a difference in the overall plan, since they would generate roughly $15 million in new funding in an $89-mil- lion plan.

Festival organizer Maureen Dowhaniuk said last year’s festival raised over $50,000. Now in its third year, 300 to 400 volunteers have been working since February on the festival’s six events. “The festival will help bring people into the Christmas season and holiday world while raising much-needed money for the hospi- tal too,” she said. “It’s going to be exciting.” All events are at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Road, and all tickets must be purchased in advance. Today (Sunday), from 2 to 4 p.m. the public is invited to check out the latest fall and winter styles from some of Durham’s top retail- ers as a part of a festival fashion show. However, the festival’s more than 50 professionally designed and decorated four- and seven- foot-tall trees will not move into their winter wonderland home at the complex until Monday and the first chance for a look before they open to the public will be at a glit- tering gourmet event Wednesday, Nov. 21. From 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. the gourmet event features delec- table treats from local restaurants, bars, bakeries and eateries. The event also features the jazz sounds of Combo Number Five and voices of Spice of Life, members of the Sweet Adelines Eastside Harmony Chorus. Tickets are $25 each. The festival’s mistletoe lunch is the place for a professionally catered meal surrounded by a back- drop of seasonal music and car- ollers. The lunch is Friday, Nov. 23 from noon to 3 p.m. and tickets are $35. All the glamour and dazzle of an elegant, sparkling evening of fine dining and entertainment can be yours at a festival gala, Friday, Nov. 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. The gala features entertainment from international recording star John McDermott and Combo Number Five, as well as a silent and live auction. Tickets for the op- tional black tie event are $150. Pyjama-clad youngsters will de- scend on the recreation complex Sunday, Nov. 25 for the festival’s North Pole pyjama party. The event runs from 9 to 11 a.m. and includes a breakfast picnic, special activities and the musical group, Cat’n the Fiddle. Admission is $12 per child, while adults are free with a child. The festival events wrap up Sunday evening with the jingle bell jam from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. The semi-formal dance is held amongst the trees with the sounds of a disc jockey, door prizes and a late-night buffet. Tickets are $25 each. All the trees in the festival will be judged, including a people’s choice, before they are sold, auc- tioned or raffled off. All the pro- ceeds from festival events support the expansion and redevelopment of the emergency department at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, originally built to service 20,000 people annually, but now servicing 40,000. Throughout the week visitors to the recreation complex can pur- chase tax-free gifts at the festival gift shop and the little ones can browse through special gifts for mom and dad at Santa’s secret shop.

AJAX —An assistant coach with a high school hockey team faces as- sault and weapons charges after a po- lice officer was struck with a broken hockey stick Thursday night.

During the incident, a man inter- vened and struck one of the officers in the chest with a broken hockey stick, Sgt. Malik said. The officer was not hurt. He was subdued and arrested. William Desmond Dawson, 20, of Cedarcroft Crescent in Picker- ing, is charged with assault, assault police, assault with a weapon, ob- struct police and causing a distur- bance.

It would be interesting to sit down with Ernie Eves, Jim Flaher- ty, Tony Clement, Elizabeth Wit- mer, Chris Stockwell, Dalton McGuinty and anyone else aiming to be leader of this huge, complex province and find out why the heck they want to do it. Aside from the monstrous ego boost in becoming premier, in win- ning the leadership and a general election, what else is to be gained? Mike Harris got a few kudos early on in his term, but eventually bowed under the vast pressures and interest groups that howled with hate at his every move and utter- ance. His legacy will include the death of Dudley George at Ipper- wash, the Walkerton water tragedy and the Dionne sisters’ fiasco, among other disappointments. To top it all off, and this is beyond his control, the deficit he and his fi- nance ministers worked so hard to eliminate might well be back be- fore he leaves the premier’s office next March. Talk to Bob Rae about the fun times he had as premier. After the shock of winning in 1990 quickly wore off, Mr. Rae was swamped by bile from all sides. If it wasn’t one of his rookie ministers making an embarrassing and very public mis- take, he was being chided for sell- ing out the union support that helped him get elected. It wasn’t long before the social contract was being ridiculed as his finance min- ister, ‘Pink’ Floyd Laughren, put the spending furnace on high and tried to buy his way out of a reces- sion. We just crawled deeper and deeper into debt and the NDP was booted unceremoniously out of of- fice in 1995. Ask David Peterson how it feels to be premier. Once he’d worked his two-year coalition government with the NDP, he reigned as pre- mier for three years from 1987-90. Then, thinking he actually was popular with the public, called a snap election and was, incredibly, walloped by the NDP. It didn’t seem possible, but the loss was such a career disappointment to Mr. Peterson, he quit in disgust and hasn’t been heard from much since. Neither for that matter, has Mr. Rae since 1995. Mr. Harris didn’t wait to be thrown out of office — he decided to leave on his own terms at a time of his choosing. Good for him. As for the current candidates, one can’t help but feel whoever wins will come to regret it some day. Are attacks and disappointments worth the glory? Would be interesting to know what makes Ernie Eves, Dalton McGuinty, others, pursue premier’s job Tim Kelly Staff editor shouston@durhamregion.com Let businesses make call on smoking To the editor: All I constantly see and read about are the radical do-gooders who want to change everything to suit what they think life should be. I always thought we lived in a democratic society. The worst of these are the politicians who are influenced by these groups and their pressure tactics. Politicians should be neutral and do their utmost for all concerned. All we seem to do nowadays is ban, restrict and destroy freedoms, put people and businesses out in the cold and follow naysayers for what they think is right today. Then tomorrow we revert to what was because they were wrong about today. We have seen this repeated so many times in our lives. Businesses should be smoking or non-smoking and the public should have the choice to frequent the restaurants or places of their choice.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com It’s logical to assume after many years of budget cuts and no tax increases, there would be a substantial regional bill to pay. But the amount being budgeted for by Durham bean counters is enough to put us all in shock, if not in hock, for years to come. For starters, projections are for the Durham debt load to sky- rocket from the current $35 million to a staggering $102 million by 2006. Just to service payments on the interest of that debt would mean a four per cent tax hike annually on the Region’s portion of tax bills. Why, you are entitled to ask, are we in this mess? The re- gional needs — expansion of homes for the aged, the building of Hwy. 401 interchanges at Lakeridge and Stevenson roads, af- fordable housing initiatives, police buildings and ambulance stations — are a big part of the picture. Regional government since the early 1990s has been bound and determined to hold the line on taxes. As a result, services have suffered. They’ve been maintained at a minimum level, but capital expenses have been held down as much as possible to keep taxes in line. Meanwhile, Durham has continued to grow and the need for services has marched ahead unabated. Toss in a hefty amount of provincial downloading, including shared social assistance and housing costs with Toronto, and Durham’s costs can only increase. It all adds up and we’re all stuck with the bill. All we can ask is that Durham councillors take a long hard look at needs as opposed to wants. For instance, taxpayers have been paying substantial amounts for police department upgrading over the past five years, including a whopping $10-million increase in the past year alone. Chief Kevin McAlpine has made a solid case for in- creased resources for his department, calling for staffing levels that are in line with other regions and municipalities of similar size. But taxpayers, who will be hit with their own municipal increases in addition to regional hikes, can’t continue to pay out huge additional sums to the police every year. There has to come a time where an upper limit is reached. Regional council- lors must demand the Durham Police Services Board be rea- sonable in its requests with the understanding there are many other worthy regional projects and causes requiring taxpayers’ money. The notion of a six to nine per cent annual regional tax hikes for each of the next five years is a little tough to take. Regional councillors should do whatever they can to cut that amount down to size.

At my heaviest weight I was close to 300 pounds! It was terribly uncomfortable. My doctor kept telling me to lose weight. But how? I had already tried every method going- tasteless shakes, fad diets-they never worked. I’d feel hungry and deprived.

NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, November 18, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, November 18, 2001 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Textbooks are valuable learning tools. But when it comes to understanding a far- away place, a group of Oshawa students know you have to be there, with eyes and ears open. In recent years, Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School students have been travel- ling to the town of Consuelo in the Dominican Republic, an impover- ished nation that shares the Caribbean’s second-largest island with Haiti. They don’t go to help build schools or deliver aid, and they don’t stay in fancy hotels. The students stay in local homes, most of which have no running water, where they are welcomed as part of the family. “Other people build things, we build relationships,” says Sue Laforet, Pereyma’s religion cur- riculum chairman. Originally sponsored by the Scarborough Foreign Missions, the one-week trips are now spon- sored by the bishop of San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican who, she says, sees the value in having young people from Canada visit and experience day-to-day life. “It’s a way for us to bring a cou- ple of things to the people we live with (here),” says Ms. Laforet. “There’s a profound sense of hap- piness there we don’t understand.” She has been staying with the same family for eight years, most recently for two weeks last sum- mer. Ms. Laforet bristles at the de- piction of the poor in television commercials that solicit aid by ap- pealing to North Americans’ sense of guilt. And that defines people by their poverty. “Instead of seeing them as poor people, we are able to see them as people who are poor; there’s a dif- ference,” says Ms. Laforet. She says people there are well aware of the material wealth peo- ple in Canada, the United States and other rich countries possess. But they are not obsessed with what they don’t have, and Ms. Laforet says their faith in God is greater than ours. “Their priorities are different,” she explains. For students, it’s a rare chance to see how a different culture lives and what it values. “The people are absolutely amazing,” says OAC student Alicia McAuley, who made the trip in the spring. “Here you can live next door to someone for years and never talk to them.” Not so in the Dominican, she discovered. Ms. McCauley stayed in a home where the grandmother ran the household. Eight people live in the house, but Ms. McAuley says she was in constant confusion about who they were: neighbours and friends came and went as if they were family, often swelling the home’s numbers. She recalled one incident where an old man she passed on the road gave her a start. “He grabbed my hand and at first I was scared,” says Ms. McAuley. “He had a big smile and he wanted to talk to me and pat my hand.” OAC students Matt Coxhead and David Byrne stayed together in a rough neighbourhood called La Loma or ‘the hill’. Mr. Coxhead said they arrived at the home around 1 or 2 a.m., on the back of a truck. Their guide said, “I’ll see you tomorrow,” leav- ing them to make their own intro- ductions. They were immediately made to feel at home. “We were family; we weren’t outsiders,” says Mr. Coxhead. The students also saw what many tourists who come to the is- land for sun and the ocean do not see: the reality of poverty. There are malnourished children with swollen stomachs; dilapidated houses; people picking through the garbage for food in the open-air market. Ms. McAuley describes a surre- al scene she witnessed at a bateye, or sugar plantation, where the Haitian workers live and earn $1 for a 15-hour day of cutting sugar cane. “There was garbage every- where and I just couldn’t believe it,” she recalls. “There was a horse tied to a tree, and it looked like it was days from dropping dead. There were dogs running around; kids playing with rusty pliers.” The sounds they heard had as much of an impact as the sights: Roosters crowing all night; dog and cat fights. “I blasted the stereo when I got home,” says Mr. Coxhead. When his startled parents asked what he was doing, he replied it was too quiet. “I came back and I was so happy,” says Mr. Byrne. “When I was down there I was shown how to love everybody.” Back in Oshawa, he opened the door of his house and says he did- n’t recognize a thing. “My house had never seemed so foreign to me because I was ex- posed to a different way of living,” he says. The experience, he adds, re- moved a lot of complications from his life and made it simpler. Mr. Byrne said friends and acquain- tances found him “unusually friendly” when he got back, even with people with whom he had not been on the best of terms. He recalls some people in his Dominican neighbourhood sought his friendship by telling him they had a CD player or something else to impress him. By the end of the week, Mr. Byrne says, “they real- ized we weren’t there to be friends for what they had”. Ms. Laforet found it “sad,” that Western standards have eroded the people’s sense of worth. She says icons of Western civilization, the McDonald’s restaurants and Burg- er Kings, have come and are spreading in the country. “The people change; you can see it,” she says. Still, Ms. Laforet says students invariably return home changed. “Every one of them develop a greater appreciation of what they have,” she says. “They develop a greater understanding of what faith is all about.” The students also return with a desire to do what they can to assist people in need here. “I came back home and realized there are a lot of things I can do here to help,” says Mr. Byrne. “I can go down to St. Vincent’s Kitchen and lend a hand.” Mr. Byrne, Mr. Coxhead and Ms. McAuley had hoped to return to the Dominican Republic in Feb- ruary. But the Durham Catholic District School Board has can- celled all school trips involving air travel following the Sept. 11 ter- rorist attack on the United States. “It was a wise decision by the board given the situation,” says Ms. Laforet. She then recalls the first reac- tion she and the students had when they heard the news. “To be honest, we were all real- ly angry when it was made,” she says. She searches for words to ex- plain why she returns to the Do- minican Republic again and again. “I love it there, I love the peo- ple,” she says. “I have a lot of friends there. It’s really hard to ex- plain, but I have a connection with people there.” Land of plenty Monsignor John Pereyma students learn important life lessons during eye-opening trips to impoverished Dominican town of Consuelo JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School students David Byrne, from left, Matt Coxhead and Alicia McAuley joined teacher Sue Laforet, right, in the Dominican last year as part of a school program to see how other parts of the world live.

And, while some critics have said the survey is a public relations exercise, Education Minister Janet Ecker defended the value of seeking parents’views. “We test our students to see how well the schools are doing their job, we’re asking parents to give an overall assessment on how the over- all system is serving their children,” she said in an interview Thursday. The 26-part survey asks parents if the school curriculum is too hard, too easy, or about right; if their child learned the skills they would expect in the various subject areas; to prior- itize areas such as instilling a sense of discipline and enjoying access to extracurricular activities and if their child needed extra help beyond classroom instruction in the last full school year. Ms. Ecker is encouraging parents “not to be shy” in filling out the sur- vey. “I have found that actually the parents I meet and deal with on a regular basis are not shy on putting forward their views,” she said. Ms. Ecker said the survey demonstrates the government be- lieves parents are “key education partners”. It will also provide the government with advice and input to help set future directions and ed- ucation priorities. While the survey is designed for parents, Ms. Ecker said she also in- vites input from grandparents, aunts and uncles and others. An undetermined number of households will also receive tele- phone calls this winter in a tele- phone survey she said is “a way to provide context to what we get back on the (written) surveys”. Ron Smale, the school commu- nity council chairman at Col. J.E. Farewell Public School in Whitby, said he’s looking forward to filling out the survey. “I think it’s a good process, I’m a person who’s always believed in high communication,” he said. Education Ministry spokesman Scott Brownrigg said the cost of printing, distributing and evaluating the survey is $700,000. He said the telephone survey would cost “a frac- tion of that.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, November 18, 2001 PAGE 9 A/P Ontario education questionnaire is headed your way Please recycle!KENDALWOOD PARK PLAZA 1801 Dundas St. E.

Valley View is one of seven elementary schools to be closed in the Durham District School Board’s draft accommodation plan. The Valley View community is trying to keep the school open and made its case to trustees and officials at a meeting Monday night in Greenwood. Ms. Wianecki expressed disappointment that the entire board of trustees, 11 representa- tives, are not bound to attend the meetings tak- ing place at various Durham schools. And that the plan process does not permit enough time for a thorough discussion of the issues. “I feel very frustrated that we’re not getting an op- portunity to make our case and have a full community discussion; there isn’t enough time,” she said. The draft plan was released a month ago and is to be ap- proved Dec. 17, though that date is in doubt as some trustees are expected to rec- ommend changes. Ms. Wianecki said school representatives would take advantage of the chance to address the entire board of trustees at a Dec. 10 meeting at the board of- fice in Whitby. She said six trustees at- tended the meeting in Greenwood: Paul Crawford (Pickering); Melinda Crawford and Marilyn Crawford (Ajax); Elizabeth Roy (Whitby); Nancy Lo- raine (Brock-Uxbridge) and Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers. Trustee Paul Crawford and Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge have said they oppose the closure of Valley View. While alternatives to closing the school were presented, Ms. Wianecki suggested the board’s mind seems made up. “They didn’t seem interested at all at looking at options,” she said. First and foremost,Valley View par- ents say restoring the former school catch- ment area would boost the population by 53 students, a number that would increase as more development takes place. They also pro- pose alleviating some of the overcrowding in south Ajax schools by bringing those students to Valley View on a temporary basis. A third option is to rejuvenate the school with an ad- dition and a history-based,outdoor curriculum program linked to the nearby Pickering Muse- um Village and the conservation authority. By looking at the big picture in terms of Durham Region population growth, Ms. Wia- necki said the board is not taking into account young families with school-aged children moving into the neighbourhood, development in the community, Hwy 407 that will bring “astronomical growth,” and the proposed Seaton community. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said she certainly noted the community’s position and arguments. But she said she supports the ac- commodation plan as it stands, though she might support expanding its scope. Trustee Roy said small schools are great, but medium-sized schools offer more oppor- tunities for students.

BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM —Eva Gainer knows all too well about the heartache and pain caused by drinking and driving. The Oshawa woman shared her painful story about how a drunk driver cost her family undying pain and took the lives of her husband Donald and their 11-year old son Bryan, as the Durham chapter of Mothers Against Drinking and Driving kicked off its Red Ribbon campaign on Thursday. “I am a victim of im- paired driving — a horrible tragedy that could have and should have been prevent- ed,” said Mrs. Gainer as she held back tears. The Gainers, along with friend Catherine Millson, were on the way back from visiting a friend’s cottage on a sunny Sunday evening in July 2000 when a drunk driver decided to share the road with them. The end result was a triple fatality, including the drunk driver. “I don’t even remember the crash, I was uncon- scious. However, I was left in critical condition and suffered multiple injuries,” she said, but added how the pain was nothing compared to what she felt when she found out her youngest son and husband were dead. “We all imagine what we would do without (them) and it’s worse than you could ever imagine.” Because of the accident, Mrs. Gainer has a limp, problems breathing be- cause her lungs collapsed from the accident, a metal plate near her wrist, and other health problems. Ms. Millson has suffered two strokes after sustaining a massive blow to her head and a seven-inch laceration on her scalp, partial paraly- sis on her right side, and many other injuries. In addition to Mrs. Gainer’s emotional and physical pain, she’s now a single parent and soul provider for her two re- maining children: James, 18, and 16-year-old Sara. The teens were away at a cottage when the tragedy took place. “In a way they (her chil- dren) have lost their mom too. I have the same face, the same voice, but I’m not the same,” she said. “I can- not fully believe or accept they (Donald and Bryan) are gone,” she said. “We need to go forward but we don’t know how. We need to know what plans to make with Bryan and Don not part of our family... there’s such a void without Don and Bryan.” “Our goal now has been to prevent tragedies like this from happening again,” added Mrs. Gainer. MADD Durham will have the ribbons available from November to January to show support for the or- ganization’s goals to influ- ence others not to drink and drive. Proceeds support victims of drinking and dri- ving and raise prevention awareness. Those you would like a box of ribbons to put in their workplace can call MADD at 905- 655-4245. Nancy Codlin, president of MADD Durham, en- courages residents to wear or tie the ribbon on their car to show other motorists how they look down on drinking and driving.

Soft tissues include your muscles, tendons and joints of the body. Research is showing that massage therapy relaxes muscles, improves range of motion of joints, increases endor- phins (the body’s natural pain killers), increases blood circulation and lym- phatic flow, lowers blood pressure and reduces heart rate. WHO SHOULD I SEE FOR MASSAGE THERAPY? Massage therapists are registered by the College of massage Therapists of Ontario and are regulated under the Regulated Health Practitioners Act (RHPA). Massage therapists have completed a mini- mum of 2,200 hours of training at a government approved school of mas- sage. The Quality Assurance Act requires all therapists who are actively practising massage therapy in the province of Ontario to continu- ously upgrade their knowledge and skills within their field of expertise. This will help ensure the general pub- lic receive knowledge- able and skilled profes- sionals when seeking out a massage thera- pist. HOW DOES MUSCLE OR JOINT PAIN DEVELOP? Obvious muscle and joint pain can come from injuries such as motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, slips and falls. Other types of pain slowly manifest themselves and a result of poor posture (cre- ating muscle imbalance), poor working conditions or extended working hours, and repetitive strain injuries. You may experi- ence these manifestations as headaches, and neck and shoulder stiffness. HOW CAN MASSAGE THERAPY HELP? Massage as men- tioned early will decrease muscle tension, increase circulation and lymphatic flow, increase endorphin release which will aid in speeding up the body’s natural healing process. Decreased pain and increased mobility should occur with enhanced body awareness and active self care techniques for rehabilitation after seeing a massage therapist. Headaches, low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, tendonitis, carpel tunnel syndrome and fibromyalgia are just some of the conditions a massage therapist treats. HOW CAN YOU AVOID FLARE-UPS OR RELAPSES? You can avoid flare- ups and relapses of your condition by having peri- odic massage therapy, usually once a month after initial treatments. Plus with proper exercise, diet and body awareness, your ability to control muscle and joint pain will be greatly enhanced. Massage Therapy is available Monday to Saturday at The Wellness Connection, 360 Bayly St. W. Unit #2, Ajax. For infor- mation call (905) 426-8503. Other services avail- able at The Wellness Connection include acupuncture/hypnosis, nutritional counselling, reflexology, full esthetics, as well as yoga and Pilates classes.

Now, a new medication will provide speedier relief for this ungodly distress. Heartburn is a huge problem. In Canada more than seven mil- lion people suffer from symptoms of digestive disease. It’s the fourth most common reason to visit a physician and accounts for seven per cent of all family doctor visits. The symptoms of digestive dis- ease include epigastric abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn, acid re- gurgitation, nausea, belching and fullness before completing a meal. Putting a finger on the cause of digestive disease or acid-related disorders is not always easy. Most cases are believed to be due to ex- cess acid in the stomach. Others are the result of a condition called GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Before a meal, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a tight ring of muscle separating the stomach from the esophagus (food-pipe) usually remains closed. Following a meal acid-related problems occur when the LES ei- ther doesn’t close or it opens at the wrong time. This allows acid contents of the stomach to splash up into the esophagus causing in- flammation of its lining. In other cases it’s poor motility of the stomach that causes epigas- tric discomfort. Less often it’s due to a peptic ulcer and on rare occa- sions, malignancy. A recent survey shows 85 per cent of people believe faulty lifestyle and poor diet cause heartburn. There’s little doubt questionable habits can exacer- bate symptoms. But Dr. Richard Hunt, vice- president of the Canadian Diges- tive Disease Foundation, says, “In truth, most individuals experience symptoms through no fault of their own.” The treatment of heartburn, GERD and peptic ulcers has changed as much as the old Model-T Ford. For instance, not too many years ago, partial re- moval of the stomach was per- formed for peptic ulcers. In 1972 a new era was ushered in when ‘H2 receptor antagonists’ became available. These drugs de- creased the amount of acid pro- duced by the one billion cells that line the stomach. The next major advance was the discovery of PPI’s (proton pump inhibitors) which cause even greater suppression of gas- tric acid. These drugs such as Losec, Prevacid, Pantoloc and others have helped millions of people. Losec alone has been used by more than 500 million people suf- fering from acid-related upper ab- dominal pain. Dr. David Armstrong, a gas- troenterologist at McMaster Uni- versity, Hamilton, says that “a new PPI, ‘Nexium’is a refinement of Losec and the only one that has proven to be clinically superior to it.” Nexium is indicated for the treatment of conditions where a reduction of gastric acid secretion is required. For acute conditions the recommended dose is 20 to 40 milligrams a day for four to eight weeks. A dose of 40 mg once daily provides maximum gastric acid suppression. Dr. Nigel Flook, assistant clin- ical professor at the University of Alberta, reports that “Patients are normally completely relieved of their symptoms in five days com- pared to eight or nine days on Losec. If inflammation of the esopha- gus is causing the trouble healing occurs in 82 per cent of cases in four weeks compared to eight weeks with Losec.” Today we know peptic ulcers are no longer due to stress and faulty eating habits. Rather, a bac- terium H. pylori is often associat- ed with this problem. Patients with peptic ulcer are prescribed a combination of Nex- ium 20 mg, and two antibiotics amoxicillin 1000 mg and clar- ithromycin 500 mg, all twice a day for seven days. Nexium is well-tolerated, but since all medications can have side-effects talk with your doctor about them. Dr. Richard Hunt has sombre news about the health of Canadi- ans. He claims only one-third have no heartburn, one-third have occasional trouble and another third are chronically affected. And since heartburn often affects young and middle-aged people, industry loses millions annually in lost worker hours. I agree with Dr. Hunt that you can lead a righteous life and still suffer from heartburn. But never forget a faulty lifestyle can exac- erbate acid-related upper abdomi- nal pain. Don’t try to mimic the man in the TV ad who exclaims in distress, “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!” Also don’t be your own doctor. If you have upper abdominal dis- comfort that persists, see your doctor. W. Gifford- Jones, M.D. The Doctor Game shouston@durhamregion.com ADVERTISING FEATURE Breathe New Life Into A Relationship! By Ruth Donaldson Busy lifestyles often leave us wondering when we will have the opportunity to see loved ones much less sit down and have a conversation. Even if the occasion presents itself, we often discuss necessities rather than areas of common interest. Imagine having a common interest that could help you cope with day-to-day stress, improve your health and was just downright fun! The interest could be yoga! The word “yoga” means union. What better way to experi- ence this ancient practice than with a partner? Yoga is enjoyed by people of all ages. People of all fit- ness levels can practice yoga and it is not necessary to be “superflexi- ble”. In a safe, non-competitive environment, yoga students are encouraged to listen to and respect their bodies while exploring pos- tures, breathing techniques and relaxation methods. There are many benefits in practising yoga, some of which are felt immediately. The body is reju- venated, stretched and strength- ened. Circulation, digestion and respiration are improved. The ner- vous system is calmed, the endocrine system is stimulated and the skeletal system is strengthened. And that’s just the beginning! Yoga helps the mind by calming restless thoughts, culti- vating concentration and promot- ing self awareness. Ultimately, yoga promotes a deep sense of inner well-being and greater satis- faction with life. As with many things in life, yoga classes can be more enjoy- able if attended with someone you love. Being able to share an experi- ence, encourage each other and grow together are some of the rewards. Why not consider mak- ing yoga a part of your life? Perhaps your significant other, teenager, parent or a good friend would like to join you. They’ll be glad you asked. Winter registration for yoga classes at the greenwood Holistic Health Care Centre is currently underway. There are many classes and levels to choose from. Please call (905) 619- 1405.

He created the pieces using traditional forge welding techniques. Donation of candelabra captures history of bible chapel BY LAUREN McKEON Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —A local blacksmith has put a new shine on a histor- ical chapel. Mark Puigmarti recently do- nated two handmade candelabra and a pulley system to the Pick- ering Museum Village’s Bible Christian Chapel. The gifts were designed to replicate light- ing fixtures from the chapel’s 1850s time era. The Ajax resident and Dave Marlowe, education and collec- tions officer at the museum, spent a considerable amount of time researching and planning the items, eventually producing a final design that Mr. Marlowe said, “worked for us”. To complement the historic design, Mr. Puigmarti created the candelabra using an old- fashioned technique called forge welding, which was very common with blacksmiths in the 1800s. “Yeah, I made something look old, but I made it using old technology,” he said, adding, “I love them.” Mr. Puigmarti offered his talents to the museum as a chance to showcase his skills and because he enjoys the craft. “I’m really interested in the history of blacksmithing, par- ticularly from an architectural point,” he said. As for Mr. Marlowe, he said the museum is “very happy with the result”, adding he has received many compliments when they’re lit for weddings and special events. Mr. Puigmarti’s interest in blacksmithing was sparked in 1996 when he and his wife, Christine, visited ‘grassroots’, a museum music festival, and met with members of the Ontario Artist and Blacksmith Associa- tion. He has been developing his skills in blacksmithing ever since — that is whenever he has time away from his day job. The project was put together during every spare moment Mr. Puigmarti could find. When those minutes are added togeth- er, he figures it took him about three days in total. Although he has completed many smaller works, the candelabra were his first-ever large-scale public pro- ject. All that glitters at Durham’s Parkwood Estate DURHAM —More than 4,000 Christmas lights will brighten the front of Parkwood Estate starting Wednesday, Nov. 21. The lights on three Colorado spruce trees, more than 60 years old and almost 70-feet high, will be turned on at 7 p.m. Festivities run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. A special lamplight tour of the mansion will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the gift shop will be open. At 6 p.m., there will be en- tertainment and carol singing with the O’Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute chamber choir and jazz band and Durham Regional Police Cruisers band. Children can enjoy reindeer games and face painting by the Parkwood District Girl Guides. Free hot chocolate will be served. The public is asked to bring non-perishable food items for Simcoe Hall Settlement House, which helps nearly 1,000 fami- lies each Christmas. Parking is available in the O’Neill parking lot, accessible off Mary Street, north of Ade- laide Avenue. Insurance co-operative saves money for some municipalities DURHAM —Municipalities that jumped into an insurance co-operative last year have seen savings of more than $400,000. The Durham municipal insurance pool was launched in July 2000 with participation by all the Durham munici- palities except Pickering and Oshawa. The objective was to protect the munic- ipalities from increasing insurance rates by a joint purchase of a three-year fixed policy with a high deductible and by self-insuring claims within the de- ductible. “It was anticipated that real savings could be achieved by the member mu- nicipalities by self-insuring a greater number of claims within the deductible limit,” said Jim Clapp, Durham’s fi- nance commissioner. The plan outper- formed itself, he told the Region’s fi- nance committee recently, noting, “In fact, there was more of a surplus than we predicted. It illustrates we have been able to manage the fund ourselves and we eliminated the profit objective of in- surance.” And, added the commissioner, the savings was achieved “in a year when claims were up”. The insurance fund has accumulated a $305,000 surplus in its first year and municipalities collectively saved an ad- ditional $100,000 by dealing with claims in-house and thereby reducing claims-related expenses, Mr. Clapp noted.

Notice of Public Meetings Dolphins face Burlington in atom football final DURHAM —A lone Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins Football Club team will compete for a league crown this season. The Dolphins atoms defend their Central On- tario Minor Football League (COMFL) title of a year ago against a strong Burlington Stampeders squad today (Sunday), at Toronto’s Ester Shiner Stadium at 12:30 p.m. The atoms earned the right to play for the championship after obliterating the Markham Raiders 36-8 in a COMFL semifinal contest at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park last Sunday. Ajax-Pickering finished its regular season by crushing the Clarington Tiger Cats 54-0. David Priestman, Robert Spagnola and David McIlravey shared the quarterbacking duties. Cecil Cherrie with two, Jermayne Goodridge, Michael Porten- er, Jordan McLaughlin, Priestman and Andrew Smith scored the touchdowns. Travis Thomas and Michael Portener chipped in with interceptions. The offensive line — led by Daniel Kelly, Alexander Ko and Eric Degnan — played in- spired football. Kyle Savoie, Mark Fedosen, Scott Campbell, Jordan Coke, Kurtis Barrett, Brett Jamieson and Kent Williamson all put in an extra effort in blocking or tackling. In their penultimate league contest, the Dol- phins downed the York-Simcoe Buccaneers 38-6. NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, November 18, 2001 PAGE 17 A/P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 18, 2001 Priestman led the way with three touchdowns. The offence executed crisply from the shotgun formation thanks to centre Campbell. The Dolphins’ tykes, meanwhile, were left out of Sunday’s tyke final after dropping a 9-0 decision to the Scarborough Thunder in a semifinal tilt last Sunday. The tykes obliterated the Clarington Tigers Cats 61-0 in their Central On- tario quarter-final contest. Fullback Adam Konkle with two, running back Myles Daly, fullback Florian Schloss- er, fullback Tristan Garnett, wide re- ceivers Jordan Oram, Darnell Brown and David Wilson all scored one touchdown each. Kicker Giancarlo Amenta scored five point-after conver- sions and holder Myles Daly ran the ball in for one conversion giving the point-after team an impressive 5-of-8 on conversion attempts. Offensive stars of the game were lineman Matt Blum and wide receiver Jeff McIl- ravey. Defensive stars were cornerback Denver Wright and linebackers Allan Forsythe, Jordan Innis and Collin Lee. The Dolphins earned their fifth shutout in clawing the Clarington Tiger Cats 54-0 to end their regular season with a record of 7-2-1. Defen- sive stars were linebacker Kiel Whelan and linemen Kareem Tucker and Mikael Nelson. Offensive stars were centre Kyle Debellotte and linemen Tyler Harding, Greg Sheremeta and Tyler Colton. The tykes posted an emphatic 48-6 victory over the York-Simcoe Bucca- neers. Defensive stars were end Peter Dearness and outside linebacker Tosh Miller Francis. Quarterback Jesse Kelly and running back Daly each scored two touchdowns. Split end Oram and quarterback Konkle scored one apiece. Offensive stars were line- man Brent Peters and Amenta, who converted four point-after attempts. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ peewees were left out in the cold last Sunday after losing their semifinal encounter to the Burlington Stampeders 36-8. Ajax-Pickering advanced to the semifinals after defeating the North York Grizzlies 30-14 in quarter-final action. The Grizzlies scored early in the first quarter taking a 7-0 lead, but the Dolphins responded with a touch- down by Daniel Mason on a 93-yard run. Mason scored again, followed by Shanic Thomas and Dan West. West also kicked three conversions for six of the 30 points. Other notable perform- ers were Milos Kucevic, Jesse An- drews, Chris Webber, Ryan Rouleau, Dereck Van Dousen, Elbron Barzegar, Richard Morrison, Jeremy Pohner and Ryan Clayton. The peewees finished regular-sea- son play with a 30-0 win over the Clar- ington Tiger Cats. The Dolphins ended the season with a mark of 6-4, good for third place.

Free pass makes the difference for Select Bank of Montreal also a winner in women’s basketball action AJAX —Select Food Products used accurate shooting from the free throw stripe to edge East Side Mario’s 36-35 in the opening game of Ajax Ladies’ Basketball League play Wednesday night. East Side used its running game to take the lead, but Select was never far behind. Despite lead- ing most of the game, East Side was unable to hold on as Se- lect took ad- vantage of free throws with sec- onds remaining to snatch the victory. Joanna Reardon and Erinn Lynch netted eight points each for Select. Krystal Green had 17 for East Side. In the closing game, the Bank of Montreal posted a comfortable 37-24 win over Et Tu Caesar’s. The bankers came out strongly in the first half to dominate on both of- fence and defence and opened a huge lead. Caesar’s got its game together in the second half, but could do little to close the gap. Kelly Stouffer scored 17 points for the bank, while Carol Stephenson had 10 for Caesar’s.
