But Durham won’t pull
out yet over escalating
costs on Hwy. 401 project
BY JACQUIE MCINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Durham council
stopped short of pulling back its fi-
nancial commitment to two Hwy.
401 interchanges, opting instead to
wait until after a meeting with the
Province next month.
Pickering Councillor Mark
Holland called on council to with-
draw from a memorandum of un-
derstanding with the Province to
fund 22 per cent of interchanges at
Lakeridge Road in Whitby and
Stevenson Road in Oshawa. Under
the agreement, the Province is to
pay for 67 per cent of the inter-
change costs while the Region is
on the hook for 22 per cent and the
area municipality for 11 per cent.
But estimated costs on the two
projects, along with an Ajax inter-
change already well under con-
struction, have almost doubled
since the initial agreement and
could go higher, said Coun. Hol-
land. Originally the cost to the Re-
gion was about $17 million. The
price tag is now estimated at $29
million.
“It is unreasonable and irra-
tional. We have talked about core
services and we’re having tough
debates in our budget process I’d
rather not be having. At the very
least we should say either you pay
for the increased costs or you walk
away,” he said.
In 1999, the Region ap-
proached the Province about con-
structing the three interchanges.
The Region asked the Province to
consider building the interchanges,
which are needed to support devel-
City taxes
headed up
7.5 per cent
Pickering councillors
vote Tuesday on
2002 budget
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING ––City taxpay-
ers are likely to face a 7.5-per cent
increase in the municipal portion of
their 2002 property taxes, in a bud-
get expected to be passed Tuesday
by council.
“Staff was able to find some ad-
ditional revenues,” said Mayor
Wayne Arthurs, explaining how
budget deliberations last week
were able to drive down initial pro-
jections of a 9.5-per cent hike.
“Subject to approval on Tuesday
it’ll be 7.5 per cent, give or take a
tenth, and that’s less than two per
cent on the total tax bill.”
The City’s Chief Administrative
Officer Tom Quinn confirmed the
actual increase would be 7.66 per
cent.
He said much of the money in
this year’s budget would go to

Hi, I'm Patricia Carley. I live with
my husband, Ken. I am a mother
and grandmother. I work as a
civil servant. Amazing as it
seems, I lost 105 pounds of fat
with hypnosis. My dress size
plunged from a bulging 24 1/2 to
a sleek size 8 in ten short months.
It was easy and fun. This is my
true story.
I came into the world at
five pounds. I was overweight
from there. One of the few baby
pictures I have is when I was two
years old sitting on a sidewalk. I
was so plump I couldn't get up
and walk. I went from an over-
weight infant to a fat child.
Overweight Hurts
With a name like Pat, which
rhymes with fat, I was the brunt
of cruel jokes. I had no friends.
Never developed self-esteem.
Confidence was zero. I would
gaze in the mirror, tears in my
eyes, asking, 'Why me? Why am I
so fat? Why can't I be normal?'
I blamed heredity. I had a 300
pound aunt who had cinder
blocks instead of a bed frame. My
mother was over 300 pounds and
confined to a wheelchair. I looked
at my family and decided fat is
my fate.
I had to sit at the dinner table
for hours until every morsel on
my plate was eaten. Starving kids
in China and all. Later I became
the family cook. I was the taste
tester. I hated to see leftovers so I
gobbled them up. Food became
my friend. My comfort and sup-
port. I went from a fat teen to an
obese young adult.
The Diet Rollercoaster
I married at 18 to get out of the
house. That's when I lost control.
When I wasn't eating, I was think-
ing about eating. I craved.
I binged. I ate all day and into
the night. I developed agonizing
headaches. PMS was a nightmare.
After 16 years my marriage ended
bitterly.
I was 34 and single. I knew no
one would want a fat mother of
two. With a starvation diet and
expensive therapy, I lost 100
pounds. I met and married Ken. I
re-gained all my weight.
I was cheating Ken not being
the slim woman he married. I
knew Ken would never cheat on
me. Still, the question haunted
me, 'Why would this terrific guy
want me when he could have a
younger, thinner, more desirable
woman?'
I went on every crazy
weight loss scheme.
Tried the grapefruit,
egg, special soup,
all protein, all veg-
etable, only
starch, high fiber
and all fruit
diets. Spent a
fortune on taste-
less prepackaged
food. Went to support groups.
Starved on protein shakes. I even
guzzled down straight vinegar
praying it would help me lose
weight. The result was always the
same. I would lose weight slowly
then quickly gain it back plus
more. I was ashamed and embar-
rassed. I had lost all hope.
Desperation to Delight
In January of 1996 I took a
business trip. The airplane seat-
belt barely fit my enormous waist.
I became anxious, stressed and
depressed. The weight had to
come off.
I heard a woman on the radio
saying she had lost weight fast
and easy with hypnosis. My first
thought was it must be a gim-
mick.
The disgust with my fat and
myself was unbearable. It out-
weighed my skepticism. I was
desperate. Ken agreed to go with
me.
I gritted my teeth for the sales
pitch. There was none. The free
screening was fun and exciting.
They explained everything in
detail. Answered all my ques-
tions. Left it for Ken and me to
decide. I walked out that night
with a signed guarantee and my
heart full of hope.
Instant Results
I was amazed by the change
after my first session. My brain
got the message to zap my
appetite. Hypnosis gave me
instant control over my eating
habits. My cravings came to a
dead-halt stop. Binges dissolved.
My confidence and self-esteem
soared. My fat melted off at an
average 3.5 pounds a week.
Easy as 1…2…3…
I was hypnotized Friday night. I
was given the hypnotic sugges-
tion I would be full and satisfied
eating less food. The next night
we're having dinner at Olive Gar-
den. My hand pushed my plate
away. I couldn't believe it. I ate
half my meal and couldn't force
down another bite. It was auto-
matic. Like I had been doing it
all my life. I asked for a
doggy bag for the first
time in 45 years.
Pounds Melt
Away
While Vacationing!
I have taken several trips
since starting my hypnosis pro-
gram. I've been to Chicago, San
Diego and Milwaukee, all noted
for fabulous food. I not only did-
n't gain weight, but actually lost
weight every trip. I savored local
cuisine with zeal. Never felt
deprived. Best of all I had to
adjust the airplane seatbelt small-
er and smaller!
Benefits Galore
I received so many benefits from
hypnosis I could write a book. No
more headaches, cravings, binges,
bloating or weight gain. I'm more
confident at work. I feel alive,
vibrant, active and energetic. I'm
in tune with my feelings. I have
never felt better emotionally,
mentally and physically.
My husband is ecstatic. Now he
can wrap his arms around me!
There is nothing between us.
We're like young lovers. Our pas-
sion grows stronger every day.
SKEPTICS READ THIS!
I realize you may be skeptical.
I understand. I'm a skeptic too. I
failed miserably at every diet I
ever tried. I had no hope of ever
being thin.
After I had results with my
hypnosis program, I was invited
to do a video interview. I told my
story in my own words. The fea-
ture you are now reading was
taken directly from that interview.
Every statement you are reading
is not only true but has been doc-
umented and notarized. When
you attend your free screening
you will see my video interview
along with those of a lot of other
satisfied hypnosis clients.

No More Yo-Yo!
“I,Jodelle
Munroe, have lost 32 lbs. in
2 1/2 months. I had tried
every diet known to man. I
was on the yo-yo syndrome
for years. I knew from the
free screening that hypnosis
was for me. The staff gen-
uinely cares about your suc-
cess. It is a positive change.
The only word I would add
is permanent. For the first
time in my life I can honest-
ly say I have made life-long
changes. It is easy and nat-
ural. I thank my dear friend
for introducing hypnosis to
me. It has changed my life
in so many ways.”
Jodelle Munroe,
Homemaker/Waitress
Cravings Vanish!
“Hi, I’m Allen
Hollingsworth. I am in Law
Enforcement. I lost 15 lbs.
in only three weeks thanks
to hypnosis. I am averaging
5 lbs. a week!
I was overweight
ever since I can remember.
Nothing could keep my
weight off. With hypnosis
my eating habits have
changed. The weight loss
thus far has been easy. The
change in my habits was
immediate. When I was
overweight I felt out of con-
trol. With hypnosis I have
no cravings. I no longer eat
for emotional reasons. I
have also noticed a reduc-
tion in my stress level. I rec-
ommend hypnosis for any-
one. The cost is much less
than most diets and it is
worth every penny. I believe
my weight loss will be per-
manent because it is a men-
tal change. Hypnosis is
what I’ve been looking for.”
Allen Hollingsworth,
Law Enforcement
“Bartender Kicks
Smoking Habit!”
I was amazed the
first time I was hypnotized.
I thought it hadn’t worked
because I didn’t go to sleep.
Imagine my surprise when I
got in my car and didn’t
want to light up. Being a
bartender, I am constantly
around smokers. I still do
not think of having a ciga-
rette. Smoking completely
slips my mind, even in
stressful situations. Hypno-
sis even helped decrease my
appetite. It improved my
self-confidence. I’ve been
giving my customers and
friends the number so they
can also kick this dreadful
habit and be happier people.

Positive Changes Hypnosis
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING –– In what has
now become an annual address, one
concerned and politically active
Pickering resident read his “wish
list” to City councillors in a recent
visit.
Sylvain Trepanier, also the Pick-
ering East Shore Community Asso-
ciation’s vice-president, read a laun-
dry list of ideas, including ways to
open the municipal council’s
process to the public and improve
the City’s image.
“We are a city and we ought to
act like one and show it,” he said in
explaining the City’s sign on the
401 is small and difficult to see and
perhaps a larger sign or one indicat-
ing directions to the tourism office
in the central library would be more
appropriate.
He also suggested a 30-minute
question period for the public once a
month at the first council meeting to
help improve public involvement in
the council process and revive
grassroots democracy.
He said no statutory meetings
should be held in July or August so
“hot topics” aren’t addressed during
the summer time when many, in-
cluding councillors and the mayor,
are on vacation and added that
lengthy councillors’ speeches at
public meetings should be cut off.
“As delegations are limited to
only 10 minutes why not limit coun-
cillors to the same time?” he asked.
“It could lead to more productive
meetings.”
Mr. Trepanier, a fixture in the
gallery at council meetings, also
asked for council’s full attention
during delegations.
“You owe it to the people,” he
said. “It is simply a matter of respect
to listen to them without sideline
discussions.”
Mr. Trepanier also sits on the li-
brary board; an unpaid committee of
council, and questioned why some
committees are paid and others are
not.
“If they’re doing it only for the
dollars that’s the wrong reasons,” he
said.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Mark Holland addressed the
“wish list” saying many of Mr.
Trepanier’s ideas “have merit”
and added council may consid-
er them. He said when Mr.
Trepanier first brought the idea
of a question period to council
he thought it would just be-
come an opportunity for those
with hidden agendas or ambi-
tions to attack councillors, but
some “good refinements” to the
plan have him taking a more serious
look at the possibility of its imple-
mentation.

Taxes going up
some roadwork around the city, family
change rooms at city facilities, side-
walks, parks, fire dispatch system
changes and the one big capital project
— improvements and a new ice rink at
Don Beer Arena.
Mr. Quinn added salary increases
and debt financing would also be a big
part of where ratepayers tax dollars
would end up.
“The problem is the revenues are just
not there,” he said, explaining why a
minimal amount of large capital pro-
jects received the go-ahead in this year’s
budget. “Right now we have just one-
per cent growth in development.”
And, he said instead of building a
new fire hall in the north and funding a
pontoon boat and docks connecting the
east and west spits of Frenchman’s bay
along the waterfront trail, the City will
only begin the review and design phas-
es of those projects this year.
He said GO transit money funnelled
back to the municipality and cash from
the Provincial Offences Act have gone a
long way to reducing this year’s tax in-
crease, but additional revenue sources
will continue to be a dire need for Pick-
ering in the years ahead.
Mr. Quinn also said as long as devel-
opment is slow in the north and restrict-
ed to infill in the south, the days of
building additional facilities in the city
without partnerships are over.
“The (Don Beer) Arena is a prime
example. By working it out with the
(sports groups) we got it done, but only
through partnership,” he said.

Over the course of four days, two
ideologically similar parties went in
opposite directions, showing once
again how difficult the unite-the-
right cause has become.
While the Canadian Alliance de-
cided to go with a candidate who
can’t be far enough right, the Ontario
Progressive Conservative Party
picked a new leader who wants to
move toward the centre.
Stephen Harper certainly has his
work cut out, having to convince
Canadians the Alliance is a viable al-
ternative to Jean Chretien and the
federal Liberals. It won’t be easy, of
course, trying to get voters to forget
Stockwell Day.
Mr. Harper’s first order of busi-
ness might be to retrench, find out
where the Alliance is and then try to
rebuild and repair the damage done
during two years of Stock. A fiscal
conservative to the nth degree, Mr.
Harper will have to convince Cana-
dians a right-wing government is
what they want.
Many Canadians have had similar
governments for the past few years.
Here in Ontario, it goes back to
1995. In that time, we’ve had teacher
strikes, overcrowded emergency
wards and an overall decline in the
health-care system (to be fair,
health-care problems predate the
current provincial government), tax
cuts, a reorganized and reduced gov-
ernment. It’s been, to say the least, a
contentious time.
Perhaps that contentiousness was
a reason Progressive Conservatives
picked Ernie Eves as their new
leader. While he didn’t offer much in
the way of policy positions during
the leadership campaign, Mr. Eves
did indicate he’s not another Mike
Harris. The political centre, here we
come.
Mr. Harris and many in his party
would have fit right in with the Al-
liance. Several, including Tony
Clement, played a big role in form-
ing the Alliance. Now, they’ll have to
work under a man who wants to take
the party — horror of horrors —
closer to the centre.
Obviously, this further splitting of
the right only hurts the conservative
cause. A schism is becoming a
chasm. If Stephen Harper says he
can’t work with Joe Clark and the
federal PCs because the party is too
centrist, how will he work with Mr.
Eves? Mr. Eves won’t want to be too
aligned with the Alliance as he tries
to put a kinder, gentler face on his
party.
The hard-right Alliance and the
possibly softer-right Ontario PCs are
again angering conservatives and
somewhere, Liberals are laughing.
Which way is the right way?
Federal, provincial conservative parties go in opposite directions with new leaders
Liberal leader wants
board to let gay
student bring date
To the editor:
An open letter to Durham Catholic
District School Board trustees:
I am writing about the recent decision
by principal Mike Powers not to permit
Marc Hall, a gay student at Monsignor
John Pereyma Catholic Secondary
School, to attend the prom with his
boyfriend. From statements made by rep-
resentatives of the school board, it would
appear you support that decision.
I urge you to reconsider. Marc is not
hurting anyone. He just wants to go to his
prom.
As Canadians, we are so fortunate to
live in a free, democratic society (one
founded on equality and mutual respect
regardless of gender, background, faith or
sexual orientation). I believe your deci-
sion is unfair and that it offends the free-
doms that have made Canada a welcome
home for people in all their diversity.
By refusing to allow him to attend the
prom with his companion, Marc Hall is
being denied some of his most basic
rights as a human being and as a Canadi-
an. There is nothing more basic than hav-
ing the right to choose one’s companions.
In Marc’s case, I cannot understand how
the decision to invite his boyfriend to his
high school prom poses a threat to
Catholic education.
As parents and educators, we hope to
instil good values and judgment in our
young people. The Catholic faith may
teach, advise and counsel Marc, but ulti-
mately we must respect the fact he has
been given free will to make his own de-
cisions about his relationships.
For Marc Hall, the upcoming spring
prom is a milestone event, a time to cele-
brate the end of another successful school
year. Like his classmates, he has been
looking forward to it for months. But, un-
like his classmates, Marc doesn’t have the
right to choose who will accompany him.
I urge you to give Marc that opportunity. I
am appealing to you as a Canadian, as a
Catholic and as the father of four to
change your decision. It is the right thing
to do.

Thank goodness decisions at the Region of Durham are not
made solely by the Durham finance committee.
Showing the good sense to ignore the committee’s odd rec-
ommendation to drop three new roving emergency SUV vehicles
and the paramedics to man them, council decided to go ahead
with the vehicles and staff.
The bean counters at finance were concerned about the costs
of the paramedics and vehicles - $500,000 each year in wages
plus one-time costs of $150,000 for the three SUVs - but reject-
ed the opportunity to improve response times and boost public
safety.
At a time when the Region thinks nothing of $10 million an-
nual increases for the police budget, the cost to protect our health
should not prohibit needed staff and equipment.
It didn’t hurt that the Province jumped in to pick up the cost
of four SUVs and related equipment at a cost of $317,253. The
Province is also expected to pick up the tab for 50 per cent of the
paramedics wages. To top it all off, the Province is providing a
$357,747 grant for three previously-purchased ambulances as
well.
Believe it or not, some regional councillors still expressed
reservations about improving emergency services, despite hav-
ing to pay just a fraction of the cost.
“I think we are over-responding to this money from the
Province. We should be thinking of the long-term implications,”
said Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond. Mayor Diamond’s overly
cautious stand was rebutted by Pickering Councillor Maurice
Brenner who saw the new (paid-for) SUVs and the 50 per cent
subsidized paramedics as “a no-brainer. I can’t believe we’re de-
bating 100 cents on the dollar from the Province. We are talking
about people’s lives when we’re talking rapid response. We’re
not talking a Cadillac service, we’re talking an essential service.”
The bottom line, as the census results released earlier this
month clearly indicated, is that Durham is a rapidly growing re-
gion. To keep pace with the 10,000 population increase we see
each year, to meet response time goals as established by the
Province, to offer the best emergency service we can to the citi-
zens of Durham, requires more vehicles and staff in service at
any given time. Not only is the population increasing annually,
it’s also growing older with emergency services demands sure to
rise.
Yes, we already have excellent emergency services. In order
to maintain them, to keep pace with our growth, we must spend
the money and devote the resources to ensure they remain excel-
lent.

Durham awaits meeting with Province
opment and industry. However, as the
interchanges were not in the
Province’s capital forecast, a deal was
struck where the Province would pay
two-thirds of the cost, and the Region
and the local municipality would pay
the remainder.
At Wednesday’s meeting, many
councillors expressed dismay at the
rise in cost. However, most were not
ready to pull out of the deal just yet.
“I think the motion is too soon,”
said Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle.
“We have to give the provincial gov-
ernment a chance to respond. I hope
this motion as a tool will do more for
us tabled than if we move ahead.”
Clarington Mayor John Mutton,
who had initially seconded Coun. Hol-
land’s motion at a finance and admin-
istration meeting, suggested tabling
the motion until a meeting between
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
and the minister of transportation takes
place.
The chairman said he expects that
to occur sometime between April 8 and
April 17. The chairman has asked the
minister to investigate the cost increas-
es.
“No decision will be made until the
new Premier and cabinet is installed,”
Mr. Anderson told council. “I’m not
going to be able to give you an answer
for at least 30 days.”
Mayor Mutton said later, “Council
has full intention of moving forward
on that motion depending on the out-
come of that meeting. It puts the onus
on the minister to get it fixed before
council is put in the position of pulling
out of the memorandum of under-
standing.”
However, he concedes, “Of all the
interchanges, Stevenson is the most
important and we may have to proceed
with it one way or another.”
Council has tabled Coun. Holland’s
motion for 60 days to give the
Province a chance to fully investigate
the cost increases and to present a so-
lution.

DURHAM –‘Actinic keratoses’ will get
you every time. That’s sun damage in cosmet-
ic surgery language and Durham Region resi-
dents are doing something about it.
Mostly women, but men, too, are heading
to the offices of Dr. Mahmood Kara on King
Street in Bowmanville. There, they can avail
themselves of a free consultation and receive
information on the newest developments in
skin care and cosmetic surgery - many of
which require no surgery at all.
“Botox injections can be the choice for
those not ready for a facelift,” says Cindy
Newman, consultation patient co-ordinator in
the busy office. Botox is the commercial name
of botulinum toxin type A and is the most pop-
ular procedure performed by Dr. Kara. By re-
laxing the muscles involved in frowning and
squinting, an injection of Botox can help keep
deep lines and wrinkles at bay with results
once only achieved by plastic surgery.
“Some people just want the information
package first,” says Ms. Newman, whose own
flawless, fair complexion belies her 42 years.
“I meet most of the patients Dr. Kara treats to
help educate them and give them the informa-
tion package.”As a certified Society of Plastic
Surgical Skin Care Specialist, the Courtice
wife and mother is knowledgeable and says
she’s also seen a better educated public in the
three years she’s worked with Dr. Kara.
“Ninety-nine percent of people are realis-
tic,” she says.
“They know what they want.”
The procedures done by the doctor run the
gamut: rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), facelifts,
liposuction, laser resurfacing, tummy tuck and
breast augmentation, to mention only a few.
But apart from the purely cosmetic component
of his practice, Dr. Kara has transformed the
lives of children born with facial nevus (port
wine stains) and he performs otoplasty on kids
with overly prominent ears. He also removes
unsightly moles,scars and veins that can erode
an individual’s confidence. The only elective
types of cosmetic surgeries he does not do are
hair transplants and sex changes.
Dr. Kara obviously enjoys what he does for
a living, eager to share the reason he chose to
practice in his particular field of medicine.
“Other surgeries deal with taking things
out, like a gall bladder,” he confides. “This
(practice) is about reshaping and restructuring,
and people are absolutely thrilled ... so many
are so happy.”
The 37-year-old surgeon placed first in his
medical school class, completing his specialty
training in plastic surgery at the University of
Western Ontario in 1994. His active practice
includes the Bowmanville office as well as one
in Scarborough where he carries out plastic
and reconstructive surgeries at the Rouge Val-
ley Health System’s Centenary site. All proce-
dures, except relatively minor procedures like
Botox injections, are done under local or gen-
eral anesthetic in Centenary hospital. Consul-
tations are done in Bowmanville for people
living in the area and most post-surgery visits,
unless a draining tube or sutures are involved,
can also take place in Bowmanville as an
added convenience to Durham residents.
Next to the Botox injections, a bigger bust-
line is the procedure of choice for Durham Re-
gion women.
“If it’s a breast augmentation, I ask the
women to look at our Web site,” says Ms.
Newman. “Augmentation is very popular and
the average age of women having it done is 32,
after their childbearing and nursing. Recently,
since November, we have been getting so
many young people, some women who are 22.
There is a wide variety - they ranged from
being in their 20s to 56. (Plastic surgeons nor-
mally don’t do implant surgeries on teenagers
who are not yet fully grown).
“With breast augmentation, they want it
now,” Ms. Newman has observed. “I have
them try on sizes (round saline-filled implants)
inside their bra and spend about two hours
with them. They watch videotape of the pro-
cedure and on a subsequent visit, talk to Dr.
Kara. This is when any health issues are dis-
cussed or (it’s determined) if they’re unrealis-
tic.”
The closest thing to a negative comment
she says she’s ever heard is when women say
they wish they had chosen a larger size. But
each woman is carefully measured according
to her height and body type in determining the
size of implant.
“They are just so happy,” says Ms. New-
man. “They have that much more confidence.”
When it comes to a facelift, however, pa-
tients take longer to decide. “That’s why a lot
of people, once their (Botox - and newer,
longer lasting types of) injections dissipate,
then have a facelift and then the laser (resur-
facing),” says Ms. Newman.
Bernice Pearse is all for what makes people
feel good and look better, including cosmetic
surgery. But there are alternatives in the quest
to look better, such as exercise and proper diet.
A certified personal trainer, the Bowmanville
woman’s credo is: ‘Live long, strong and
healthy.’ Her body shaping business for
women is thriving and includes clients well
into their 70s.
“It isn’t stressed enough to have a balanced
diet, frequent meals and smaller portions,”
says Ms. Pearse, an advocate of eating fruits,
salads and whole grains to look fit from the
get-go.
“You don’t have to totally eliminate ham-
burgers but balance the amount,” she says. “It
takes 3,500 calories to make a pound (of body
fat). Over the course of a day, to make a pound
of fat, you have to eat 3,500 excess calories. If
your body only needs 1,400 calories per day,
just think of the amount of food you’ve really
eaten.”
There are no excuses when it comes to not
eating properly and exercising. If ‘comfort’
foods are used to soothe the emotions, she
urges people to get help if they need it to over-
come negative behaviours that can sabotage a
healthy lifestyle.
“Being healthy is so important,” she im-
plores. “Our health care system is on overload.
To keep our bodies strong,to ward off diseases
like colon and bowel cancers, we need a bal-
anced diet.”
We all need exercise, too. Not only to have
that healthy glow and to keep bones and mus-
cles strong, but to relieve stress.
“If you walk at a medium pace, it is a
tremendous aerobic exercise for the heart and
lungs,” says Ms. Pearse. “You give the blood
more oxygen and increase the blood supply,
increase the metabolism and reduce stress.
And if you’re stronger physically, you’ll get
better results and recover and heal faster from
plastic surgery.”
Dr. Kara couldn’t agree more. After all,
that’s realistic. The fitter a patient, the better.
He declines to operate on people who choose
to smoke or who are morbidly obese. Preven-
tive measures are encouraged, with his assis-
tant Ms. Newman’s countenance a good ex-
ample. Her sunblock numbers ‘45’to ward off
the bane of aging men and women every-
where, ‘actinic keratoses,’or sun damage.
For more information on cosmetic proce-
dures and services available from Dr. Kara, in-
cluding prices, go to his Web site at:
www.drkara.com. For more general informa-
tion, the Canadian Society of Aesthetic and
Plastic Surgeons also has a Web site at
www.csaps.ca.
One of the best things about being a re-
porter is never knowing what any given day
will bring.
When researching cosmetic surgery, I
must admit I did so with a bit more interest
than an article I once worked on about rid-
ding your lawn of crab grass. Not that I
would ever suggest anyone change her ap-
pearance to look like an unrealistic, mass-
produced ‘Barbie’ doll, but for some, vari-
ous cosmetic procedures can make a differ-
ence and boost confidence.
So when Dr. Mahmood Kara offered to
give me Botox injections so I could describe
the experience firsthand, my only worry was
that I might not be a very good subject.
(You may have noticed from my column
picture that I’ve earned my fair share of lines
and wrinkles over the course of my 55 sum-
mers).
Called the lunch-hour facelift, Botox in-
jections are fast with results lasting from
three to six months. I could not find one neg-
ative about the quick, non-invasive procedure
in a rather exhaustive amount of research
available from accredited organizations such
as the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery. No wonder it’s the top choice of
most Durham Region residents.
After signing a waiver and hearing Dr.
Kara carefully explain possible side effects -
a temporary drooping of the eyebrows or in
rare cases, an interference of eye movement if
injections are made too close to the muscles
involved - neither of which have ever oc-
curred in the many hundreds of patients he’s
injected, I was ready to go.
Dr. Kara’s ready smile and calm manner
were reassuring as he asked me to frown and
squint as his gentle but deft hands located
those muscles between my eyes, across my
forehead and down the fleshy side of the out-
side of my eyes. A very fine needle pulled the
liquid from a small vile. About a dozen pin-
pricks later, it was done. I was told to exercise
the muscles by frowning and smiling for the
next hour but not to touch the treated area. It
would take about a week to see the optimum
results. I felt no worse for the experience as I
drove west on Hwy. 401, making faces all the
way, to my next interview. (Other drivers
must have thought me a tad strange).
It takes three days to a week to see the op-
timum results and yet it was only two days
before my daughter said she noticed how
“smooth” my forehead was. I did have a
fresher, rested look and all those worry and
frown lines I’d earned over the past 56 years
were much less prominent, with no ill effects
whatsoever. As a matter of fact, the unexpect-
ed adventure made me want to take better
care of myself.

Why Should You Choose Montessori?
From the moment you become aware of the fact
that you are about to become a parent, many overwhelm-
ing feelings begin to overtake you. At some point doubt
and fear creep in to the equation. Will I be a “good” par-
ent? Can I provide all that my child needs, including all
the “things” that I didn’t have as a child? The questions
seem unending; the answers of course aren’t always
straight forward. Somehow we all seem to go the distance
on instinct and a few pieces of well chosen advice.
Today the most confusing, exasperating, and cru-
cial decisions that we as parents will have to make is the
choice of education for our children. What can you do and
where can you go to provide your child with a sound and
all-encompassing method of education? Why not
Montessori?
There are many misconceptions about the
Montessori method of education. A Montessori education
is only for the “rich”. The children play in their classrooms
all day. Children who start out in a Montessori school
have a hard time adapting to “regular” school because
they don’t have all that specialized material to work with.
Maria Montessori established the first Casa dei Bambini in
1907 in one of the poorest and most deprived areas in
Lorenzo, Italy. The teachers and assistants were local peo-
ple and the children were defined as “deficients” a most
derogatory term. However with the aid of specially devel-
oped materials and a properly prepared environment;
these so-called “deficients” astounded the skeptics with
their ability to learn.
Maria Montessori put her medical and engineering
training to good use as she developed many of the materi-
als used today. It was through extensive observations of
the children and their needs at particular times in their
development that prompted her to create these materials.
The “hands on approach” imprint on the child’s
mind, different concepts such as length, width, volume,
texture, quantity etc. Once the child has worked with the
materials in a concrete way, and the concept has been fixed
or incarnated with him, then he can proceed to work in the
abstract form without difficulty.
The children are taught to care for themselves, oth-
ers, and their environment through activities in Practical
Life, Cultural and Grace and Courtesy.
It was my children that led me to Montessori and
through them I have come to understand and believe in the
Montessori method. In fact, such a strong believer, that
when a Career change was in the cards due to Corporate
restructuring and downsizing, I enrolled in a teacher train-
ing course for Montessori Teachers. Now that I am active-
ly involved in training and learning the concepts, methods
and philosophy - I can unequivocally say that there is not
a child in the world who could NOT benefit from a
Montessori education.
You gave your child the most precious gift of life -
why not give him something that will enhance that gift for-
ever - A MONTESSORI EDUCATION AT THE MONTES-

tendants, herself included, per-
formed a sexual act for clients
for money.
The business, called ABS
Anti-Stress, was shut down
last April by police as part of
an undercover police project
targeting illegal massage par-
lours.
Christophe Preobrazenski,
the Mississauga woman’s
lawyer, told Judge David
Stone during sentencing on
Wednesday his client has no
prior criminal record and has
suffered financially as a result
of the business being closed.
Prosecutor Michael Hill
said illegal parlours are a
growing “social problem”
which Ms. Markiz-Nizynska
contributed to and profited
from.
She also admitted keeping a
common bawdy house.
She has six months to pay
the fine or faces 21 days in
jail.
Charges against owners and
attendants at other illegal rub
parlours in the region, includ-
ing Oshawa, have led to simi-
lar monetary sentences, police
say.

DURHAM —The public
is being invited to comment
on a proposed used-fuel dry-
storage facility at the Dar-
lington Nuclear Generating
Station as part of an environ-
mental assessment (EA).
Until April 5 the public
can make recommendations
on draft guidelines on the
process the assessment will
follow. The dry-storage facil-
ity will consist of concrete
containment for cooled fuel
bundles within a building to
be built on-site at Darlington.
It is expected to be opera-
tional by 2007. Among other
things, the EA will determine
the best location for the stor-
age.
Currently, spent fuel is
stored in a water pool within
the facility. After 10 years in
water, the fuel bundles can be
transferred to dry storage.
Ontario Power Generation,
owner of Darlington, current-
ly operates a dry-fuel facility
at its Pickering site.
The EA will examine any
possible effects on the envi-
ronment related to dry stor-
age, including air, water,
groundwater, vegetation and
wildlife, and the impact on
the community. As well, it
will determine any actions
that may be necessary to mit-
igate possible effects prior to
the construction of the facili-
ty.
The storage facility would
hold the spent radioactive
fuel bundles until the eventu-
al decommissioning of Dar-
lington. At that point the fed-
eral government will deter-
mine the final location for
long-term storage of the
waste. That location may be
on-site, may involve geologi-
cal burial or another site
could be created to hold nu-
clear fuel waste from a num-
ber of Canadian plants.
Anyone who would like to
view the draft EA for the fa-
cility can obtain a copy at any
branch of the the Ajax Public
Library, 65 Harwood Ave. S.,
or the Pickering Public Li-
brary, One The Esplanade,

clear Safety Commission of-

Durham tells
Province to
back off
on selling
Hydro One
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Rural electricity cus-
tomers and municipalities will suffer
from the privatization of Hydro One,
Regional council is telling the Province.
Hydro One is the electricity distribu-
tion component of the former Ontario
Hydro. The Province split the distribu-
tion and electricity generating opera-
tions into two separate companies as
part of its move toward an open elec-
tricity market. Early this year, the
Province announced plans to privatize
Hydro One.
But the land holdings owned by
Hydro One are valuable assets that
should not be privatized, suggests Re-
gional Chairman Roger Anderson.
“Hydro One does own the corridors
(where electricity lines are located),”
said Mr. Anderson. “For the Province to
sell the company without offering to
sell us - municipalities both upper and
lower tier through the province - the
land to obtain parkland or transporta-
tion corridors, they should at least have
a sober second look at this.”
Brock Mayor Terry Clayton, who
raised the issue to council, said
Durham’s rural customers could experi-
ence higher rates if the privatization
proceeds.
Ajax Councillor Jim McMaster,
chairman of Veridian Connections Inc.
(an electricity distribution company
owned by Pickering, Ajax and Claring-
ton), added, “Hydro One should be in
the business of serving rural customers,
protecting rural customers.” Coun. Mc-
Master says he supports privatization of
Hydro One because he disagrees with
the provincially-owned utility compet-
ing head-on with other electricity dis-
tributors. However, he said, the govern-
ment must look at putting in some pro-
tections for rural hydro users because
rural areas are higher-cost, lower-profit
areas to serve.
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said selling
Hydro One now makes no sense given
the fact the company spent taxpayers’
money outbidding other utilities such as
Veridian for the purchase of municipal
utilities that were sold when local utili-
ties prepared for the opening of the
electricity market. “Through the whole
process they were outbidding other
competing interests and spending
money like it was going out of fashion
to buy smaller, and sometimes large,
utilities. To have spent that money buy-
ing up utilities and then to sell it off, I
don’t understand the logic in that.”
Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs,
one of only a handful of councillors
who feels Hydro One should be sold,
says he agrees with the issues raised.
However, he said, “It’s best for the gov-
ernment to divest itself of Hydro One
given its history. Keeping it in the hands
of the Province just perpetuates the
problems that exist. We should allow it
to return money to the taxpayers of the
Province of Ontario.”
Council passed Mayor Clayton’s
resolution to ask the Province to recon-
sider the privatization on a 23-5 vote.

The Canadian cancer
Society is set to host
Durham’s second annual
Relay For Life.
Relay For Life, a
non-competitive
overnight relay, will
once again take place at
the Oshawa Civic Fields.
The event will begin
at 7 p.m. on May 31 and
end at 7 a.m. on June 1st.
Teams of 10-12 will take
turns walking, running
or strolling around the
track. family members,
friends or co-workers are
invited to take part in the
Relay For Life to honour
a cancer survivor or to
remember someone who
lost their battle with can-
cer.
“This unique, emo-
tionally charged experi-
ence celebrates cancer
survivorship and pays
tribute to the lives of
loved ones lost to the
disease, all wrapped up
in a night of fun, friend-
ship and entertainment
in an effort to beat can-
cer,” said Ron Wilson,
Relay For Life Chair.
Included in the
event is a Cancer
Survivor’s Victory Lap
where cancer survivors
are invited to walk the
first lap of the Relay For
Life to acknowledge and
celebrate in their strug-
gle with the disease, said
Mr. Wilson.
Event Honourary
Chair, Jockey Sandy
Hawley, a cancer sur-
vivor and Durham resi-
dent, will lead the victo-
ry lap.
The relay will also
feature a Luminary
Ceremony in which sev-
eral thousand candles
are placed around the
track and are lit after
sunset to honour sur-
vivors and remembered
loved ones.
With great success
last year,
the Durham Relay raised
over $144,000 for cancer
research and support; the
Canadian Cancer Society
hopes this year’s Relay
will bring even more
success and is pleased to
welcome the Durham
Canadian Tire stores
back as Event Sponsor.

Life is a daily battle for those who have
cancer. Unfortunately, the war against
this often-deadly disease is far from
over.
Cancer is the leading cause of pre-
mature deaths in Canada. In 2001 alone,
an estimated 134,100 new cases were
reported, and 65,300 cancer-related
deaths occurred. Of its various fatal
forms, lung cancer is the leading killer.
For every 10 Canadian males afflicted
with lung cancer, more than three will die.
This ratio is slightly lower for women.
Other common forms of cancer among
adults include breast cancer, which afflicts
more than one out of every 10 woman, and
prostate cancer, which afflicts approximately
the same ratio of men.
Among children, cancer usually appears
in the form of leukemia, accounting for
26 percent of all new cases. What’s
more, an average of 1,266 new can-
cer cases are diagnosed every year
among Canadian children under
19 years of age. 249 of these
children will not survive.
While cancer death rates
have declined in the last 30
years, the number of new
cancer cases has not.
Prevention remains one
of the best ways to bat-
tle this disease.
Determining your
cancer risk level
through genetic
assessment is one important preventative
step since some forms of cancer are more like-
ly to occur in certain families than in others.
While the presence of cancer among relatives
doesn’t necessarily mean you will develop it
as well, it does put you at a greater risk.
Supporting research is another winning
strategy in the fight against cancer. April is
the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil
Month so please contribute generously to
cancer research. You will be helping scores of
men, women and children-perhaps even
friends and family members-continue their
fight against cancer.
The Battle Against Cancer Continues
Hope Blooms
in the fight against
cancer with the
Canadian Cancer
Society's Daffodil
Month in April.
Over 2,000
Canadian Cancer
Society volunteers
will be knocking on
doors in their neigh-
bourhoods in
Durham Region
next month to raise
money to help beat
cancer.
With increasing
demand for dona-
tion dollars, the
Society wants to
make people aware
of how they can
ensure the person at
the door is from the
Canadian Cancer
Society.
"Our volun-
teers carry an official
canvass kit and
identification which
includes a receipt
book for issuing
income tax receipts
when a donation is
made," said Moira
Alley, President of
the West Durham
Unit.
"Chances are
people may recog-
nize the canvassers
at their door,
because as much as
possible, our are
recruited to canvass
in their own neigh-
bourhoods," he
added.
Another way to
verify the person is
from the Society is to
ask if the person at
the door is paid.
Canadian Cancer
Society canvassers
volunteer their time
to our annual
Daffodil Month
campaign because
they want to make a
difference in the
fight against cancer,
Moira said. If the
person knocking at
the door says they
are paid, they are not
a Society volunteer.
"We would not
be able to offer com-
munity services or
fund leading-edge
cancer research
without the gener-
ous help and
donors," Moira said.
For more infor-
mation or to volun-
teer to help with
door-to-door canvass

They just want to be fly guys
Local air cadets
enjoy adventure,
challenges and
flight training
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Flight
Sergeant Sheridan Sampayo
could fly to Florida and back
before he was legally al-
lowed to drive a car by him-
self in Ontario.
Seventeen-year-old
Sheridan is a member of the
856 Pickering Kinsmen
Squadron Royal Canadian
Air Cadets. In its third year,
the squadron of 120 cadets is
receiving recognition in the
areas of community service
and training.
Sheridan earned his
power pilot’s licence last
summer while attending the
Central Region Gliding
School at the Canadian
Forces Base in Trenton. Two
fellow cadets, Warrant Offi-
cer First Class Ben Nasmith,
and Warrant Officer Second
Class Brendan Johannes,
both 17, obtained their glid-
er’s pilot licence at the
school and are waiting to
hear if they have been ac-
cepted into the power course
this summer.
“Up until January 30, I
could fly to anywhere in
Canada and the U.S. but
couldn’t drive to the corner
store,” Sheridan said during
a recent interview, noting he
wants to pursue a career as a
commercial pilot. Brendan
has applied for the commer-
cial aviation program at the
University of Western On-
tario, and Ben is aiming at
one day becoming an astro-
naut.
For Ben, the air cadets,
although not an essential
step toward his goal, pro-
vides him with experience
and preparation. “Cadets
isn’t going to get me there,
but it’ll give me something
to do while I’m waiting to go
to university,” Ben said.
Among his list of activi-
ties is survival camp, sports,
and air rifle competitions.
Ben added cadets consists of
both fun and hard work that
can be applied outside the
squadron.
“After some challenges
I’ve had in the cadets, high
school doesn’t seem that
bad,” he said.
“I’ve had a lot of chal-
lenges in cadets that I
wouldn’t have had anywhere
else.”
Brendan agreed.
“It really teaches you
how to manage your time. It
makes you more confident,”
he said.
To be accepted at the
Central Region Gliding
School, the three had to first
attend ground school at the
squadron in Pickering to pre-
pare for their respective
qualifying exams. Then they
went on to interviews with
the Ontario provincial com-
mittee of the Air Cadet Le-
gion. The committee makes
its decision on who gets se-
lected based on the results of
the exam and interview,
along with other factors such
as what camps the cadets
have attended, plus the rank,
age and training level of the
individual. Ben and Brendan
were up against the top 98
cadets in Ontario.
“If you study hard and
know your stuff, it’s not too
hard,” said Ben.
The cadets started their
training with three weeks of
ground school. After that,
the flying began.
“They take you up, show
you around,” Brendan re-
called. “Before you know it,
you’re flying solo.”
Sheridan noted it was
tough going in power studies
— at least at first. “For the
first three weeks you don’t
even want to be there,” he
said. “I was like ‘I want to go
home.’High school is a joke
compared to power school.”
A person must be at least
16 to get a glider’s licence
and 17 for a power licence.
For more information on
the cadets, call 905-626-
8856.
Master Richard Buchan
teaches his students both
young and old the ancient art
of Kosho Shorei Ryu at the
International Headquarters
located in Pickering.
“Kosho Ryu is a live art
full of enlightenment,” says
Master Buchan. “It is more
than just martial arts. It is a
way of study with a socially
significant philosophy that is
capitalized in the term "self-
defense".”
He says that to study
Kosho Ryu is to understand
one’s self and others.
To understand that
hitting someone is justify-
ing one’s actions and not
self-defense.
“To truly under-
stand self-defense is to
control the opponent cre-
ating no harm,” says
Master Buchan. “Only in the
most extreme circumstances
should the war arts be
brought into play.”
Material taught in the
Kosho Ryu curriculum
include self defense arts,
restorative arts, escaping
arts, healing arts, psycholo-
gy, weaponry, grappling,
philosophy, human anatomy
and the internal arts such as
yoga.
Students learn all of
these seemingly diverse arts
that function by the same set
of natural laws and princi-
ples.
“In doing so, we learn to
accept and deal with life as it
is, not as we wish it to be,”
says Master Buchan. “Kosho
Ryu is about the process of
study. Its combative arts are
devastatingly effective, but
they are only a part of what
Kosho Ryu is all about.”
Master Buchan says the
goal of the children's program
is to provide young martial
artists self confidence and the
ability to deal with conflict
without the need for violence.
This study is more important
since most people do not get
into fights.
“However, they can use
these confident skills at school
or in the work place to better
deal with stressful situations,”
he explains. “Violence is often
a result of a lack of confidence
or inability to deal with a con-
frontational situation.”
At the Kosho Ryu Centre in
Pickering, they provide
instruction on self-defense
skills, as well as focusing on
the individual to help them
achieve their mental and
physical goals.
In addition to this very
powerful self-development
program, skills are developed
to enhance the student's
understanding of body
mechanics through balance,
posture, timing, and flexibili-
ty creating a well-balanced
and healthy student. These
benefits are long lasting and
provide excellent cross train-
ing for other sports such as
hockey or baseball.
At more advanced levels
Kosho Ryu is the learning of
cultural arts such a the beauti-
ful art of Shoto (the art of the
brush). Kosho Ryu is also a
study of restorative and heal-
ing arts such as Acupressure.
Kosho Ryu practitioners learn
the understanding of the
human body and its systems.
International Master
Instructor Richard Buchan
operates the International
Kosho Ryu Head Quarters
School in the Bay Ridges
Plaza Pickering.
He has recently been
ranked to Grand Master
status in martial arts and
is President of The
Kosho Shorei Ryu
International Martial
Arts Council.
He is also Vice-
President and
Representative for
Russian Martial Arts in
Canada for I.I.O.R.K
Ukraine. Master Buchan has
served and trained in
the Canadian Military;
Conducts Seminars for
Police Departments on
Psychology & Self-
defense; Appeared in
Educational Documentary
on Women’s Self-defense;
Conducts Seminars for
Martial Arts Organizations
and Conducted Training for
Armed Forces Personnel. This
year Master Buchan has been
asked to visit Bulgaria and
Ukraine to share his knowl-
edge of Kosho Ryu.
At the Centre both
Children and Adult Classes
are offered.

means in quality of hearing is huge. Digital sound is created by tiny
computer chips that separate each sound clearly and crisply. You can
compare for yourself by thinking how movies sounded 10 years ago
to going to a theatre and hearing digital sound.

Doctors should prescribe marijuana to those who need it
I’ve been a medical journalist for
27 years. It’s made me a terrible
skeptic, but for good reason. I’ve
seen too many distortions of the
truth in medicine. I’ve seen too
many colleagues sit on the fence
rather than take a stand on contro-
versial issues. I’ve seen too many
fight the use of painkillers when
they could ease the agony of dying
cancer patients. Above all else, I’ve
seen too often a complete void of
common sense. Now, I’m seeing it
again, patients who need marijuana
to ease their suffering but can’t ob-
tain it.
In July 2001, the federal govern-
ment legalized the use of marijuana
for terminally ill patients and for pa-
tients suffering from cancer, multi-
ple sclerosis, spinal cord injury,
AIDS, severe forms of arthritis and
epilepsy. Marijuana alleviates se-
vere nausea, persistent muscle
spasm and seizures associated with
these diseases. Marijuana can also
be legally prescribed for other dis-
eases when conventional medica-
tion failed.
My initial reaction was, ‘Hallelu-
jah.’ The government had finally
taken a reasonable stance. But it
didn’t make the purchase of medical
marijuana easy. It’s not like picking
up your prescription from the local
pharmacy.
Patients must first find a physi-
cian who will write a letter stating
marijuana is needed because con-
ventional medication has failed.
They must then write about them-
selves and their medical condition.
They also have to indicate if they
wish to grow their own supply or
obtain it from a licensed dealer. This
information, along with two pass-
port-sized photographs, must be
sent to Health Canada’s Office of
Cannabis Medical Access.
But it appears the government
has legalized a medication it doesn’t
possess. Sources tell me Health
Canada is growing some in an aban-
doned mine which won’t be avail-
able for a year. In the meantime ill
patients have to obtain marijuana
from authorized “compassion
clubs” (there are about 20 in Cana-
da) which also require a doctor’s let-
ter. And huge parts of this country
are without clubs.
Even in good health this would
be a tough assignment. But if you’re
nauseated or vomiting due to AIDS
or chemotherapy, this process be-
comes a nightmare. The first major
obstacle is obtaining a doctor’s let-
ter.
Since first initiating a study of
this problem I’ve been contacted by
numerous patients who can’t find
either a family doctor or specialist to
sign on the dotted line. Physicians

Fun Foot Fooling For April Fool’s Day
I began writing for the news adver-
tiser approximately two years ago. The
topics I have covered have varied in seri-
ousness, from simple plantar warts to
fractures and chronic foot pain. Each foot
contains 18 muscles, 31 tendons, 107 liga-
ments, 30 joints and 28 bones. Is it any
wonder that approximately 80 percent of
us will experience a foot problem at least
once in our lifetime. But for anyone with
a foot problem, you know first hand that
suffering with sore feet is no laughing
matter.
For those of you with feet that are
nothing to laugh about, I thought that this
April Fools might be a good time to hit
your funny bone, so to speak, with a few
foot riddles and jokes. Some may be
moaners while others are groaners but
I’m sure one or two will take your mind
off of your sore feet.
Why should you never put your
left shoe on first?
Because, your right one would be
left!
How large is your shoe?
About a foot long!
Why did the person say he was
wearing golf socks?
Because he had a hole in one!
How does Santa Claus go down
the chimney?
Feet first!
How do ghosts keep their feet dry?
By wearing BOO-TS!
Billy: Do you have holes in your
underpants?
Tommy: No, of course not!
Billy: Then how did you get your
legs through?
How did the Podiatry learn each
lesson?
By keeping footnotes!
Why did the architect have trouble
finding shoes?
He only knew how to measure in
square feet!
Why are feet like ancient tales?
Because they are leg-ends!
This shoe-type sounds like an
accent.
Brogue.
This shoe type sounds like a
Hungarian soup?
Golosh.
This shoe sound like a type of
snake.
Moccasin.
Did you hear the one about the
woman who suffered for her beliefs?
She believes she can wear a size 4
shoe on a size 6 foot.
Why do Podiatrists like
Christmas?
Because all of the mistle-toe.
How do Podiatrists get new
patients into their office?
They toe them
in.
As you can see,
I can keep going, but
I really want my
practice to grow.
Remember although
sore feet are no
laughing matter,
with proper care
you’ll be smiling
with every step you
take.
If you have a
question you would
like answered or a
topic you would like
addressed, send it to:

The scope on new device
AJAX –– Members of the Rotary Club of Ajax turned out to see their
series of cash donations turned into state-of-the-art medical equip-
ment at the local hospital. The group was shown new endoscopy equip-
ment purchased for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering with the club’s
$300,000 gift pledged to the hospital in 1996. Here, general internist
Dr. Peter Campbell explains the proper use of endoscopy equipment to
Rotary Club members and visitors at the hospital. The devices allow
physicians to look at the gastrointestinal tract to diagnose ailments,
screen for disease and treat other gastrointestinal conditions.
Medical marijuana has merit
argue more research is needed to
test the safety of marijuana. Yet a
report from The Harvard Med-
ical School says “one of marijua-
na’s greatest advantages is its re-
markable safety.”
Critics forget our so-called
‘safe’ drugs often cause drug re-
actions and sometimes death.
Most drugs have a list as long as
your arm of possible drug reac-
tions.
But, to my knowledge, no one
has ever died from an overdose
of marijuana. Tests on mice show
the ratio of marijuana needed to
overdose to the point of intoxica-
tion is 40,000 to 1. By compari-
son, for alcohol it’s 5 to 1 to 10 to
1!
Opponents always mention
‘the slippery slope theory,’ that
people will go from marijuana to
a variety of illegal drugs. But this
is a legal, political and law-en-
forcement problem, not a med-
ical one. Besides, patients suffer-
ing from these severe diseases
are seldom ‘slippery slope cus-
tomers.’
I can understand no doctor
wants his office loaded with peo-
ple seeking marijuana unjustifi-
ably. But surely this shouldn’t be
a problem. It’s easy to document
which patients are receiving
chemotherapy or suffer from
multiple sclerosis or AIDS. Yet, I
could not find a major cancer
centre in Toronto or neurologist
who was prescribing marijuana.
This issue reminds me of the
battle I fought in the 1980s to get
heroin legalized for terminal can-
cer patients. The facts of its ben-
efits were documented. But I was
fought all the way by the Canadi-
an Cancer Society, cancer spe-
cialists, pharmacists and the
RCMP. Their opposition was all
due to political, moral and reli-
gious reasons. Like marijuana,
heroin was not considered a
‘nice drug.’ Yet the British had
been using it for 90 years to treat
cancer patients, women in
labour, heart attacks and burned
children with excellent results.
I don’t condone smoking
marijuana for pleasure just as
I’m appalled to see so many peo-
ple still smoking tobacco. But I
can’t understand how any doctor
could refuse to write a letter for
those suffering from the terrible
complications of AIDS and other
diseases when marijuana can
offer comfort. And surely there
should be an easier way for pa-
tients to eventually obtain mari-
juana. The best route, I believe,
would be a doctor’s prescription
to be filled at a pharmacy.

for Hyundai Motorsports
PICKERING — A Pickering race-car driver
helped the Hyundai Motorsports team to a solid
start to the racing season at the Grand-Am Cup
Street Stock Series race at California Speedway
in Fontana, California this past weekend.
After securing 11th spot in the qualifying
sessions on Saturday, the Hyundai driving tan-
dem of Pickering’s Chris Guerrieri and Michael
Ciasulli, aboard a Hyundai Tiburon, finished in
20th place in the 54-car field in the Grand-Am
Cup series race.
Three Hyundai Motorsports tandems com-
peted in the 250-mile race on the California
Speedway’s 2.8-mile, 21-turn road course.
The driving tandem of Steve Gorriaran and
Mark Craig had the best result with an 11th-
place finish. Wade Gaughra and Justin Marks
finished 16th and Guerrieri and Ciasulli 20th.
In an interview for a story posted on the
Hyundai Motorsports’Web Site, Ciasulli says
some mechanical problems in the tandem’s
Number 8 Tiburon kept them out of the top
10.
“We proved that the cars are fast and carry a
lot of potential. Unfortunately we had mechan-
ical difficulties on all three cars; without these
growing pain factors, we could have very well
all placed in the top 10. We will have some time
to improve our reliability as we prepare for
Phoenix,” said Ciasulli in the story.
The next round of the Grand-Am Street
Stock Series western tour will be at Phoenix In-
ternational Raceway for the United Auto 200,
April 18 to 20.

AJAX —Select Food Products
took full advantage of a tiring Bank
of Montreal squad to post a 31-24
victory in Ajax Ladies’ Basketball
League play Wednesday.
Both teams had ample opportuni-
ties to score in the first half, but failed
to convert for the most part in a low-
scoring opening half.
The bank was missing its regular
bench strength in this game, and that
factored into the second half as Select
sprinted to the victory.
Erinn Lynch netted seven points
for Select Foods and Lana Le-
tourneau sunk eight for the bankers.
The second game of the evening
between East Side Mario’s and Et Tu
Caesar’s was fast-paced from the tip-
off. The first half went to East Side
Mario’s, which used quick passing to
open up the Et Tu Caesar’s defence
and scored plenty of points.
Caesar’s came back strongly in the
second half to tie the game with ex-
cellent outside shooting. Mario’s
changed its defence pattern and re-
gained its lead and won going away
by a 61-46 count.
Engrid Carmichael Johnson scored
16 points for East Side and Carol
Stephenson posted a game-high 28
for Et Tu Caesar’s.

and Pickering.

Pickering atom selects keep
championship trophy at home
Panthers blank
Cambridge in final
of own tournament
PICKERING —The Pickering
Panthers major atom select hockey
team laid claim to its fourth tourna-
ment title of the season, winning the
trophy at its own Pickering Select
Tournament recently.
The Pickering atoms blanked
Cambridge 2-0 in the championship
game. Eric Bartholomew scored the
first Pickering goal, assisted by An-
drew McCann and Richard Doherty.
The play tightened up considerably at
that point, with goaltenders at both
ends of the rink making fine saves to
keep their teams in the game. Picker-
ing’s Nigel Fleming delivered the
knockout punch by scoring to put
Pickering up 2-0, assisted by Matt
Savage.
Pickering advanced to the final
after sidelining Richmond Hill 1-0 in
the semifinal contest in a tight affair.
Doherty scored the lone Pickering
goal, assisted by Kyle Kinsman and
Matt Fowler.
The Panthers opened the tourney
with a convincing 4-0 victory over
Uxbridge. Savage, Jeff Paul, Zack
MacLennan and McCann scored for
Pickering. Spencer Etherington, Mc-
Cann, Paul, Andrew Nauth and
MacLennan drew assists.
In the second game, the Pickering
atoms faced Cambridge, the same
team they would eventually meet in
the championship game. This time,
Pickering scored a decisive 6-1 victo-
ry. Savage potted a hat trick, Paul had
two and Doherty one. Fowler had two
assists, Doherty, Bartholomew,
Nauth, Galen Sleeth and Kevin Mont-
gomery all had one.
Pickering met Guelph in Game 3,
winning 5-2. Savage led the way with
two goals; Brian Forrester,
Bartholomew and Michael Gilbert
also scored. Montgomery recorded
two assists, Kinsman, Nauth, Nick
Accettone, MacLennan and Eddy
Smith had single assists.
In seven tournaments this season,
the Pickering major atoms selects
won four and were runners-up at two
others.
“This has been an incredible team
to coach,” head coach Bruce Kinsman
said after the championship game.
“Not only have we had great goal-
tending (26 shutouts in exhibition,
league and tournament games for
goaltenders Derrick Herdsman and
Andrew Monaco) but every player
has stepped up and contributed.”
He also praised the work done by
co-coach Daryl MacLennan, trainer
Doug Paul and manager Mike Mont-
gomery.
