In 1998 Durham council de- cided to limit eligibility for the job to the 28 members of council and the current regional chair- man. But the change was never leg- islated by the Province under the Regional Municipalities Act, leaving candidacy open. But council was never in- formed the Province had turned down its request to limit eligibil- ity for the job, and the informa- tion was never made public. That has some would-be candidates, and even some current council- lors, upset. “Did the Region misinform people about the qualifications for regional chair? That’s the question I am asking,” said Clar- ington Mayor John Mutton. Regional clerk Pat Madill sug- gested the legislation is not of great importance because the fact is, the will of council was for the election to take place from within its members and that takes prece- dence. “Someone from the ministry spoke to me. The bottom line was it’s (council) policy versus legis- lation,” said Ms. Madill. “The council resolution remains on the City taxes officially hiked Pickering budget one of the ‘best pieces of work’councillor’s seen BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —With very lit- tle of the debate and argument that often comes with passing a budget, Pickering councillors approved what many of them called the best budget document they’d ever seen. But, for Pickering ratepayers it still means a 7.66 per cent tax hike. “It’s always very easy for me to load up stones in my sling shot and levy criticism at the level of taxa- tion, but I can’t do that here,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner. “This is one of the best pieces of work I’ve seen con- sidering the limited financial re- sources, and this is what, my 17th budget?” “I defy anyone to find anything wasteful in this budget,” added A.J.

Send your thoughts to Royal family P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 7, 2002 Pickering passes ‘bare-bones’budget Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land. “This is a bare-bones budget that’s reflective of the times.” As anticipated, much of the money in this year’s budget will go to road- work, family change rooms at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex, sidewalks, parks, and fire dispatch system im- provements. The only big capital project that re- ceived the go-ahead was improvements and a new ice pad at Don Beer Arena. The project will also receive partial funding from the federal and provincial governments and local hockey associa- tions. Salary increases and debt financing are also a big part of where tax dollars will end up this year. A new fire hall in north Pickering and funding for a pontoon boat and docks connecting the east and west spits of Frenchman’s Bay along the water- front trail will have to wait, but the City will begin the review and design phases of those projects this year. “No one in any government would opt for raising taxes given the choice,” said Mayor Wayne Arthurs, adding with the Durham Region levy and education portion of the final tax bill, the overall increase will be in the range of five per cent. “To the east of us in Ajax they’re looking at around five per cent and Whitby is looking at a similar range — we’re not unique. “We are meeting service levels, not cutting back.” But, despite praise for staff’s efforts in putting together a trimmed down budget, questions about future revenue sources remained. Several councillors took the time to criticize provincial downloading and the regressive property tax system they say has left municipalities starved for cash. Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan said the City needs to be creative in looking for new revenue sources and added encouraging commercial and in- dustrial development around Hwy. 407 and accelerating growth on the Seaton Lands and the East Duffins Area in north Pickering may be the answer. Councillors Brenner and Holland both pointed to the City’s hefty investment in electricity provider Veridian, valued at approximately $50 million, and ques- tioned whether that money might not re- ceive a better return on investment else- where. All three agreed focus on infill and growth in Pickering’s downtown core is imperative in generating future revenue for the municipality and reducing the tax impact of limited growth on ratepayers. WAYNE ARTHURS ‘We are meeting service levels, not cutting back.’ PICKERING from page 1 Community care needs you PICKERING — Community Care warns some “isolated and lonely people” may not receive their meals on wheels unless more volunteers pitch in.

The new Centre for Integrated Jus- tice Studies (CIJS) at the Durham Col- lege campus in Oshawa was officially opened Friday. Durham police will use the building for its officer training program. Durham College students will use it for classrooms, computer rooms, and mock court activities where simula- tions of real trials occur. There are also several new staff offices. Staff Sergeant Herb Curwain, in charge of the Police Learning Centre, said the force can use the building for all its mandatory training and some academic study. “The college needs a proper facility to create positions for students to take the (police) foundations program, law and security and legal administration,” he said. “The police services need a proper facility to deal with the training needs that we have.” There are also private and public in- vestigators’, and court and tribunal paralegal programs available. “Our relationship with the Durham Regional Police Service and their learning centre has been extremely good over the years,” said Bert Dejeet, dean of the school of administrative and justice studies. “This just lends it- self to improving it.” Staff Sgt. Curwain said the partner- ship is important. “We were the first to ever form a partnership in regards to training and education,” he said. “We did that al- most 12 years ago, and since then sev- eral other services have done the same thing.” Prior to construction of the CIJS building, police used a building across campus, while the school of adminis- trative and justice studies held classes throughout the college. “(CIJS is) a state-of-the-art build- ing, and it provides state-of-the-art fa- cilities where we can conduct our training far more efficiently,” said Staff Sgt. Curwain. “The facilities are much larger, and we’re able to accommodate larger groups of officers. We can train more officers at the same time, and re- duce the amount of time the officers are off the road.” “There is integration of the skills of our professors,” added Mr. Dejeet. “There is integration of our students. Students and faculty feel as though they have a focus.” GOLF BALLS Wilson ULTRA TOUR BALATA 15 PACK Top Flite 12 Z- BALATA Ultimate Titanium 20 Pack Your Choice $14.99 Taylor Made Irons 3-PW Steel $549 Graphite $649 GOLF WEAR Micro Fibre - Windshell - Jackets Reg. to $89 $29.99 each 2 for $50 Ben Hogan Scoring Wedges $160 Value 53* - 56* - 58* $89.99 Golf Shoes - Bags - Carts Tournament Prizes And More! 50% OFF ZEBRA Putters $39 Carry Bag With Stand Reg. $119 $39.99 GOLF LIQUIDATORS 3 Day Golf Clearance Sale April 10-11-12 Wednesday - Thursday - Friday 10 am - 8 pm Daily Holiday Inn Oshawa 1011 Bloor St. E.

When my husband returned from six months at sea I was 47 pounds lighter. Now he can’t keep his hands off me! This is my story. It’s true and factual. VIRGINIA BEACH - I lost 47 pounds with hypnosis. 6 pounds the first week. 15 pounds the first month. My dress size plunged from an embarrassing 16 to an elegant size 10. I’m actually 7 pounds less than my original goal. It was that easy. I feel great. Overweight hurts. I should know. I was heavy at 6 years old. I tried everything. Shakes, prepackaged foods, support groups and stupid diets. With every diet I only lost more self-control. Pain Suffering & Desperation Food was my life. I lived on fast food. I made excuses for buying junk food. I once baked chocolate chip cookies to send to my husband. Only half the batch made it. The rest went to my bulging hips and thighs. I used to avoid outings to the beach. I resented the other wives in their skimpy bikinis. I wouldn’t even take off my shorts. I hid from cameras. Picture this. We’re at the playground. My daughter crawls into a tube. I can’t fit. My husband has to go after her. That was when I knew I was out of control...way out of control! I heard about Positive Changes Hypnosis on the radio. My husband was skeptical. I was desperate. I decided to give it a try. I went to the free screening with hope and an open mind. There was no high-pressure sales talk. My con- sultant explained hypnosis. How the program worked. What kind of results I could expect. I signed up. 100% Control I noticed changes after my very first session. My con- fidence sky-rocketed. I did it without stress. No cravings, NO DIETS, NO DRUGS. I didn’t starve myself, count calo- ries, attend group meetings or weigh food. I learned self- hypnosis. I enjoy 100% control over my eating behavior. I feel proud and attractive. I get lots of compliments. I have a waist now! I even had some boudoir pictures taken. I couldn’t believe it was me posing for the camera. My hus- band loved the photos! It’s great to feel desirable. My body is in better shape now than when I was 18. I’m full of energy. I love being active with my daughter. We can run, play and roll around on the floor. I’m a better role model for her. Hypnosis has improved every aspect of my life.

It’s council policy, it’s almost self-regulating. The de- cision council made is they only wish to elect from with- in.” Former Pickering regional councillor Doug Dickerson, who withdrew from the 2000 election race, said he was in- terested in running for the chairman’s position but did not even consider inquiring be- cause his understanding was that only current councillors qualified for the job. “Certainly there was an in- terest on my part to be region- al chairman,” he said. “At the time it seemed like a closed shop idea. It was never pub- lished or advertised or any- thing else for the public to sub- mit their name.” Former Oshawa regional councillor Brian Nicholson, who was defeated in the 2000 election, says he did inquire at the clerk’s department prior to the election and was told the position was limited to mem- bers of current council. But Ms. Madill said, to her knowl- edge, no one made an inquiry. She noted the position is never advertised but the election is placed on the regional council agenda, which is available to the public the week of the meeting. Mr. Nicholson said at the time he was the chairman of the regional finance committee and, as such, should have been informed when the legislation change was denied by the Province. More importantly, he said, the public should have been in- formed. “How would citizens know they were eligible to run? Would they guess?” Peter-John Sidebottom, manager of municipal gover- nance and structures for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, said there is no onus on the Re- gion to advertise the position or give notice the position is available. “All the act says is council shall select one of the members of regional council or any other person to hold of- fice,” during the first meeting of council in a new term, he said. Council did that in early December 2000 when incum- bent Chairman Roger Ander- son defeated Oshawa Regional Councillor John Gray.

It did my heart good to see the story by Christy Chase on some of the pioneers of Ontario County, especially the sections on the Reverend George Barclay of Brougham, Joseph Gould of Uxbridge and Timothy Rogers of Pickering Village. Those of us involved with Backwoods Players’ annual September production of ‘A Spirit Walk’ at the Pickering Museum Village have been celebrating our pioneers for years now, particularly the hanged rebel Peter Matthews and others who took part in the Rebellion of 1837. Pickering council recently recognized our efforts by giving us a civic award for arts and cul- ture. While ‘A Spirit Walk’, directed by Larry O’Leary, involves a cast of over 50, plus countless volunteers, it is the spirit of great rebels and heroes like Rev. Barclay and Mr. Gould that invest our performance with the honesty and pride that are all too often forgotten in a modern world where our children know the names of American historical figures and folk heroes, but not the men and women who made such enor- mous sacrifices in the creation of Picker- ing and indeed the Canada we know today. I live on rebel land, as all of us do in Brougham, known to the Tories in 1837 as ‘Radical Corners’. Thank you for joining us in paying homage to those rebels and heroes.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER APRIL 7, 2002 A simple trip to the mall this week made me think about the new Ontari- ans with Disabilities Act introduced by the provincial government. The new act requires municipali- ties to listen to handicapped residents and make plans and changes that would enable life to be as easy and convenient as it is for people without disabilities. It wasn’t the mall entrances that started me thinking, or the wash- rooms, or the handicapped parking spaces. It wasn’t until I was leaving that I realized what really strips the disabled of their freedom. When I got into my car I stuck my key into the ignition, but instead of hearing the roar of the engine, ready to take me on my way, I heard a bang and watched my engine smoke as it spit out a spark plug. How does a busted car relate to the problems of a disabled person? The freedom I’ve taken for granted since I passed my driver’s test was stolen; I was stuck. A disabled man told me it doesn’t matter how accessible public areas are if you can’t even get there. In my situ- ation, I could have called a cab or taken a bus. Instead, I called my dad to pick me up, but many handicapped people don’t have the options of the able-bodied. Many handicapped people are on the lower end of the income median and a cab isn’t always an option. A conventional bus is not an option ei- ther considering someone in a wheel- chair can’t get on to it. There’s Handi Transit buses but they are arranged by appointment only and primarily used for medical appointments, school or work. If Handi Transit has the time, it will take clients to social outings such as the mall, but only according to its sched- ule. Instead of going to the mall for an hour, a person could be stuck there for four or five hours, watching passing traffic and perhaps regretting leaving home in the first place. What good are accessible build- ings if handicapped people can’t get to them? Under the new act, municipalities will have an annual responsibility to the disabled and the first thing they should look at is making transit acces- sible and affordable. Without it, many of the handicapped are robbed of their freedom — the chance of a (close to) ordinary life sliced to almost nothing. What if you ran out of milk and couldn’t get to the store? How would it feel to be stuck? Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com What would you do if you were helplessly stuck? Lack of real transit alternatives puts up needless barriers to region’s disabled residents “If the past six months are any indication of what the rest of the year is going to be like, the doomsayers were absolute- ly wrong. This is the sixth consecutive month of sales in- creases for GM Canada. We expect that momentum to contin- ue.” So said Marc Comeau, General Motors’s newly appointed vice-president of sales, service and marketing. The tremendous performance by GM Canada couldn’t be any sweeter for Michael Garibaldi, who took over the au- tomaker’s operations in Canada Jan. 1 from Maureen Kemp- ston-Darkes. The decisions and initiatives started by Ms. Kempston-Darkes have been continued or improved on by Mr. Garibaldi. The numbers have told a terrific story for GM. Sales in March 2002 were 5.2 per cent over March 2001. And those sales were spread fairly evenly between cars, up 4.3 per cent, and trucks, which jumped 6.2 per cent. For the first three financial quarters, 2001 was a year to for- get for the auto giant. But, in the wake of Sept. 11 terrorist concerns, GM worked hard to increase its business. Com- merce at GM hit a high point in December when car and truck sales skyrocketed by 11.8 per cent. It wasn’t just a great month, it was GM of Canada’s best-ever December. That momentum followed in the first three months of this year, marking two straight financial quarters of excellent sales for GM Canada, a significant barometer. Not only were sales up, but the expected announcement of an $885-million over- haul of the paint-shop facilities in the No. 1 and No. 2 car plants is nothing but terrific news and bodes well for the long- term future of GM in Durham Region. Currently, GM is spending $285 million for a pre-paint preparation operation with paint-shop work to follow. Piling on with more good news was a plan by the Region of Durham to cut the large industrial tax rate by 33 per cent over the next five to eight years to bring the taxes paid by GM more in line with those paid by competitors in other GTA regions. With less of a tax burden to pay, GM is only encouraged to im- prove and expand its operations, providing more long-term, high-paying jobs for not only those who work at ‘the Motors’ but those who work at supply plants and those who toil in the small business and service industries that serve GM workers and their families. The auto industry fuels the manufacturing base that makes the Ontario economy hum. As the leader of that industry in Ontario, it only helps us all when times are good at GM of Canada. May they continue. Good news at GM is great news for us all Despite fears of post-Sept. 11 downturn, automaker leading economic revival Crystal Crimi Staff Writer shouston@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 7, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P Take these tips to help host the perfect event BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM – Company’s com- ing and you can’t think of a thing to serve. Don’t panic. Entertaining at home can be as simple as one, two, three with a few helpful hints from some gourmet gurus. “Organization is key,” says Kevin Thomson, who heads up the culinary arts program at Central Collegiate Institute in Oshawa. He advises hosts plan their menus three days in advance of the big night. Their first dilemma is de- ciding between sit-down or buffet. “I prefer sit-down because I like the creative aspect of it. A lot of cooking is presentation and a host can’t create that as much with a buf- fet,” says Mr. Thomson. “It’s also more intimate. There’s a social ele- ment to food and you can experi- ence that much more with a sit- down dinner.” But there may be instances when a buffet may work better, such as a large family gathering. For those important events, a host may want to spend less time in the kitchen and be more involved in the action, and a buffet allows for that, says Mr. Thomson. His next suggestion is to look at the actual guest list for help with planning the meal. Light fare like poultry is usually more suitable for a female audience, while a robust menu of pork and beef is a failsafe for male guests. For mixed compa- ny, Mr. Thomson recommends try- ing to find some balance between the two. It’s also important to know of any special dietary needs. Nut and dairy allergies are a concern when entertaining, as is being mindful of any vegetarians coming to call. “You don’t want to serve a rare roast beef to a vegetarian,” stresses Mr. Thomson. “You might as well put a bloody animal on the table and ask them to kill it for you.” Nor should guests be treated as guinea pigs for that recipe their host has always hoped to try. “Unless you’re incredibly talent- ed, don’t experiment with a dinner party. Stick to the stuff you do well,” says Mr. Thomson, adding if it has to be that particular dish, do a trial run. A dinner party should be treated like a cooking show, with the major- ity of preparations made before guests arrive, he recommends. Vegetables can be chopped be- forehand and covered with a damp cloth. Marinades can be mixed and chickens stuffed ahead. Even dry in- gredients can be mixed beforehand for some recipes. When it comes to a simple and time-saving appetizer, Gary Cole, head of culinary arts at Uxbridge Secondary School, suggests chicken lollipops, which can be made ahead and stored in the freezer. Take some chicken wings, cut them at the joint and separate them into the drumlet and the wing, dis- carding the tips. Using a sharp knife, cut off the end of the wing and push the meat down to expose two bones, a large one and a smaller one. Pull out the small bone and use the long one as your stick, pulling the meat back on the bone to form a lollipop tip. For the drumlet, scrape the meat off the bone, pulling it back to form a lollipop tip. Dip the chicken lollipops in flour, an egg wash, and then bread- crumbs, which can be seasoned to the spiciest of taste buds. Deep fry the chicken in a deep fryer, or wok if you don’t have one, until they are golden and then put them in a 350 Degree Fahrenheit oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, checking to make sure they are cooked through. Chicken lollipops can be frozen breaded or deep-fried and simply pulled out for cooking before guests arrive, says Mr. Cole. There are no rules for setting a table but usually you should start on the outside and work your way in with the placement of forks and other utensils, says Alex Kondracki, head of the culinary arts program at Exeter High School in Ajax. “You should never put out coffee cups. They just clutter up your table. You don’t want a cluttered table,” Mr. Kondracki explains. “You go to some of these weddings where they put everything out on the table. You should always have lots of space.” When having a sit-down, dinner plates should never be set on the table beforehand, Mr. Kondracki says. In a buffet setting, hosts may want to use a charger plate, which is a much larger flat plate that sits under your dinner plate and can act as a placemat, he says. Dinner plates should only be set on a table for harvest buffet meals, or when actual bowls of food are passed around the table. “Centrepieces should be either short or very tall but never at eye level. You want to make sure you can see everyone around the table,” the instructor recommends, adding some caterers work around the rule by creating tall fluted centrepieces with flowers cascading above eye level. A considerate host will try to find out which guests are left- or right- handed to avoid a lot of elbowing later on, should a ‘righty’ and a ‘lefty’clash, he says. “It doesn’t hurt to mix up cou- ples, especially if they’ve been to- gether for a while,” Mr. Kondracki adds. “I always split couples up. It gives them something to talk about.” If children are in the mix, set up the kitchen table for them and serve them a little something different but at the same time adults eat. Feeding them beforehand may leave Mom and Dad open to inter- ruptions when they sit down for their meal, he advises. “I usually have a grab bag for kids and I tell them if they eat all their meal, they can have it. It keeps them eating at the table,” Mr. Kon- dracki explains. “It doesn’t have to be much, maybe a three-piece puzzle or something.” The important thing to remember is to have fun and be creative when you entertain, say our experts. And if a host still feels a little nervous, Mr. Thomson suggests tak- ing a basic cooking course, offered some nights through local schools and even some grocery stores. “I always tell my students the key to cooking is a sharp knife and knowing how to use it,” he says. “There are so many tricks we can show you and they are so simple.” Be our guest, be our guest... Alex Kondracki shows off an elegant but simple table anyone could set themselves. The head of culinary arts at Exeter High School in Ajax warns you don’t want to have a cluttered table.

Advertising Feature Susan Johnson in her book "Creating Connections" (1996) states that adult intimacy happens within the context of an emotional bond. In my work with couples I have certain- ly experienced the validity of that concept. When a couple is experiencing conflict in their relationship it is mostly because the emotional bond is threatened, negative, or non-existent. I recognize that adult intimacy happens in many different kinds of relationships. In this article my focus is on the relationship between two people who are part of a couple. Let's start with some state- ments that have proven to be true in describing the "human condition." We all have a deep need for the security and connection of a solid emotional bond. Our need for love is just as necessary to our survival as is our need for food and shelter. The needs for love and attach- ment are most strongly experienced in our intimate relationships. Positive emotional bonds are the lifeblood of a relationship. They give a relationship spirit, passion, tenderness, compassion, security, and create a deep connec- tion between the two partners. I am sure that we all want that kind of relationship with our partner! So how come we don't experi- ence that, and instead feel lonely in the relationship, or don't feel validat- ed, heard and understood. We may experience being unable to reach our partner, feel criticized, blamed, or have closed down and avoid any closeness. Maybe we feel critical of our partner and are disappointed in the relationship as it is. What causes these feelings and behaviours and what can we do to change it? I am sure that we can find as many answers to those questions as there are theories about human behaviour in relationships. I want to address the impor- tance of emotions in creating change in a troubled relationship. Emotions are core to how we behave in intimate relationships. They deter- mine how we experience ourselves and the other in the relationship, they give meaning to our perceptions, they spur us on to action and com- municate with others. When it does not feel safe to express those emotions directly, we develop patterns of behaviour that will protect us from getting hurt. We also develop ways to hide the vulner- able feelings and may mask hurt and fear with anger; a sense of failure or helplessness with numbing out and withdrawing. These patterns may have developed long before the pres- ent relationship, but are re-enacted again and again when triggered in the present. These behaviours become pat- terns of communication between the Intimate Relationships and Emotions partners and establish the degree of closeness and/or conflict. "He never talks, so I have to push him", "She criticizes me all the time, so I shut up". In couple counselling we(counselor and couple) address the patterns of communication that are present, and the feelings that each partner experiences within that pattern. We create a safe environ- ment and explore the underlying more vulnerable feelings such as the hurt and helplessness. The result is that each person experiences them- selves and the other in new ways and can start to change the commu- nication pattern from protecting self emotionally to openly sharing emo- tions with the other.This sharing and open expression of emotions builds a deeper level of emotional connection, which satisfies our need for love and attachment and creates the intimacy we so deeply enjoy.

Instead, Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine suggested pro- viding the best training to all frontline staff is a more effective way to handle these incidents. “The way we are currently doing this work meets the Province’s adequa- cy standards and the response back from the community is we’re doing a good job,” he told Durham’s health and social service committee April 4. “My current belief is the sys- tem we have in place now gets the job done with a quality service to the customers at a reasonable cost to taxpay- ers.” On Feb. 13, Durham council referred resolu- tions from the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax calling for the creation of a domestic vio- lence unit to the health and social services commit- tee. Chief McAlpine told the committee the creation of a spe- cialized domestic violence unit is “not necessary at this time nor is it financially feasi- ble”. The chief suggested it would take at least 30 officers at a cost of $100,000 each to man the unit in a way that would make it viable. Given the fact Durham police received more than 3,000 do- mestic violence calls last year, the chief said, he feels the available resources are being more ap- propriately spent training all front- line officers to deal effectively and sensitively with domestic vi- olence calls. He noted the calls come 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are answered as part of every officer’s beat duties. “We think the average police officer today can be a very good domestic vi- olence investigator,” he said, noting the force has worked to improve its meth- ods of dealing with these cases. When a new women’s shelter, scheduled to be built in Ajax is complete, he said, a do- mestic violence regional co-ordinator would likely be stationed at that facili- ty. Currently there are six officers as- signed to providing resources to the frontline staff including one co-ordina- tor and the staff sergeant at each com- munity office. Those staff members do have other duties aside from dealing with this issue, he said. The health and social services com- mittee did not support the creation of a dedicated unit. Instead, the committee is recommending council support the police department’s continued efforts to address domestic violence. “It isn’t that the police need direc- tion, they’re already into it,” said Clar- ington Councillor Charlie Trim. “They already have a game plan in place.” The councillor said training frontline staff to deal with this common occur- rence is the most appropriate course of action.

Shawa Paterson BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer You’re never too old to get in shape. “Age isn’t a factor when it comes to using weights,” says Bernice Pearse, personal train- er to the stars –– her very own senior stars, that is. “And there is a need for seniors to exer- cise using weights.” Mrs. Pearse’s thriving gym, called ‘Bodies By Bernice,’ is located in her Bowmanville home. There, woman of all ages - from 18 to 78 - bike, stretch, lift and bend their way to health. “It’s not about being skin- ny,” says the 51-year-old certi- fied fitness instructor. “It’s about being healthy and strong. I have lots of clients who have osteoporosis and who have improved their bone density significantly. Of course they take supplements but one woman, after three years of doing weights, says that’s what’s made the differ- ence. She had taken just the supplements for many years.” The powerfully built and obviously fit Mrs. Pearce has run Bodies By Bernice for 11 years. She is a strong advo- cate of walking and suggests a half-hour workout three times a week will improve a person’s health and how they look and feel. “It doesn’t matter how old a woman is when she starts,” she says, encour- agingly. She also advises com- bining the best in exercise and food choices and has written a book, ‘Making the Best exer- cises and Food Choices,’ in which she describes a six- week, six-step program based on exercising with weights and the Canada Food Guide. “When I went to a gym, women would come up to me and ask if I would help them,” recalls Mrs. Pearse. “I wrote the book because there is so much junk out there that isn’t true.

Even though it’s a drea- ry, cold Monday morning, the gym is a hub of activity as they work out. Helen is 78 years young and has been a Bodies By Bernice devotee twice a week for three years. “I have osteoporosis and someone told me if I built the muscles up, it would help support my bones,” confides the Bowmanville resident. “I find I feel better and it does really help your body and it keeps you trim, too. It gives you more ener- gy.” At 65 years of age, Barb has been exercising under Bernice’s guidance for one year. She says she feels stronger and also has more energy, she doesn’t mind at all coming all the way from Whitby two to three times a week. “I work on all the ma- chines and with the weights,” she says. “Even just the stretching makes you feel good. You think you’re too old to lift the weights but that’s not true.” The youngest of the group working out during this particular session is 54-year-old Jacque. A self-described sports- woman, she works out three times a week and has been coming to Bodies By Bernice ever since the gym opened. “I like sports and this is the opposite of team sports,” says the summer- time lob ball player. “It’s self-satisfaction while learning how to do things the right way ... so you don’t hurt yourself.” No stranger to exercise is 75-year-old Maureen. “I’ve always exercised,” she says. “I have seven children but I didn’t do weight exer- cises.” She travels with Barb from Whitby for her work- outs and credits the weight training for helping her overcome some health con- cerns. “When I came here I had a dead nerve in my arm,” says Maureen. “I was here less than six weeks and it (the problem) was gone and it never came back. I had high choles- terol and in three months it was gone. I love it here. I hate getting up on a Mon- day morning but then you’re here and you feel so great. I love it.

BY DOUGLAS GRAY Special to the News Advertiser Over the past century, hundreds of millions of dollars have been donated by Canadians in their wills to support various charities, universities, hospi- tals, art galleries and museums. You may already be donating to charity every year. In your will, however, you have one last chance to be benevolent by directing gifts to one or more char- ities of your choice. Here is an overview of the tax incentives and var- ious forms of charitable giving. TAX INCENTIVES The effective rate of the tax savings on charitable donations could reach 50 per cent in combined federal and provincial taxes. In other words, for every $100 of donations made in ex- cess of $200 each year, the saving could be up to $50. Charitable donations that you specify in your will are eligible for the dona- tion tax credit in your final income-tax return, and up to 100 per cent of the net income amount reported in your final income-tax return may be de- ducted. Thus, a large gift under a per- son’s will may have the effect of elim- inating the income taxes that would otherwise be payable for the year of death. Obtain information from, and dis- cuss the options with, the charities you are considering. TYPES OF DONATIONS: CASH If the gift is large, you must make sure that there will be enough liquid assets in your estate to enable your ex- ecutors to carry out your wishes. GIFTS IN KIND Instead of a cash gift under your will, you could provide for a gift of tangible property to be made to one or more charities. Examples include a valuable painting to a public art gallery; a donation of scenic real es- tate to a provincial conservation au- thority; or perhaps donating a car to a hospital foundation for its use in trans- porting patients. LIFE INSURANCE FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES Another option is to purchase a life-insurance policy with the charity as the designated beneficiary, or have the funds go to your estate and name the charity in your will as the re- cipient of the insurance proceeds. Take note that there are various tax, legal and flexibility implica- tions of naming the charity as an irrevocable beneficiary under the insurance policy. CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES Another donation technique in- volves making a cash donation to a charity in return for a life annu- ity. You cannot make the donation now because you need to keep the funds invested to provide you with interest or dividend income to live on. A gift to a charity dur- ing your lifetime in return for a life annuity would produce tax savings for you. CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS A trust can be used to make a donation of property to a charity. In this case, you would name the charity as the capital beneficiary, and the donor is named as the in- come beneficiary. The donor would then transfer one or more assets to the trust. You would be entitled to all the income on the funds invested in the trust, and upon your death, the trust assets are transferred over to the charity. You could also hold real estate under such a plan, but with you having the exclusive use of the property during your lifetime. In all the above examples, you should obtain professional legal and tax advice to make sure the process is done correctly and the decisions are done strategically. ✑ ✑ ✑ Douglas Gray is a lawyer whose most recent book is ‘The Canadi- an Guide to Will and Estate Planning’, which is available at bookstores.

She replied, “It’s testosterone, stupid.” One of the reasons men differ from women is they produce 10 times more testosterone. But like most things in life “10 times” does- n’t last forever. There’s mounting ev- idence males experience their own menopause (andropause), and that the dwindling of the male hormone has far-reaching consequences for males, particularly on bones and sexual drive. During the 3rd World Conference on ‘The Aging Male’ held in Berlin, Germany, I inter- viewed Dr. Robert Josse, a renowned endocrinologist at the University of Toronto. Professor Josse said, “No one in the past has seriously looked at os- teoporosis in men. We used to think when men suffered fractures, they were due to trauma or long-term al- cohol use which can weaken bone density. But this time-honoured be- lief has been shattered by recent studies.” Prof. Josse cited research in which X-rays and bone scans were carried out on 3,000 men and 6,000 women over the age of 50. The result made everyone sit up and take notice. Twenty-five per cent of the men and women had osteo- porosis and spinal fractures. But the men were worse off than women. In males, back pain was often diag- nosed as due to back strain and frac- tures went untreated! Now doctors have to ask them- selves,”Is chronic back pain due to a pinched nerve, muscle strain or un- diagnosed spinal fracture?” The Osteoporosis Society of Canada states one in eight men over the age of 50 has osteoporosis and, that 30 per cent of osteoporotic frac- tures occur in men. Equally omi- nous, these fractures cause men to have a three-times higher death rate than women, and that half the men with either a spinal or hip fracture lack testosterone. Dr. Malcolm Carruthers, a Lon- don, England endocrinologist and andropause pioneer, has been using testosterone to treat aging males for years. He reported to assembled doctors that, at about age 30, the level of testosterone in men starts to drop 10 per cent every decade. Like women, males can become depressed, fatigued, irritable, unable to concentrate, lose time from work due to back pain and fatigue, and complain of joint pain. They also have decreased desire for sex and suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). Dr. Carruthers calls testos- terone the “hormone of kings.” He’s had great experience treating ty- coons, captains of industry and politicians and says these movers and shakers need higher doses of testosterone than less ambitious males to restore their competitive edge. So, how do you prevent broken bones and the need to tell your part- ner you have a headache? To prevent osteoporosis, it’s im- perative you start early in life to build bone mass. The best insurance is to drink three glasses of milk daily to ensure the right amount of calci- um. Vitamin D supplements are helpful. And don’t become a couch potato. Exercise keeps bones strong. If your sex life leaves much to be desired, bite the bullet and ask the doctor about testosterone therapy. Dr. Carruthers stresses that doc- tors must test for “bioavailable testosterone” rather than “total testosterone” to diagnose an- dropause. This is because about 97 per cent of testosterone is hand- cuffed to other blood particles and is therefore biologically inactive. Patients with low bioavailable testosterone can be prescribed intra- muscular injections and skin patch- es. An oral preparation, Andriol, is also widely prescribed throughout the world. The average dose of Andriol is 80 milligrams (mg) twice a day. But take two precautions. Andriol must be taken with food and stored at room temperature by the patient. What about males with ED who are taking Viagra with disappointing results? Dr. John Morley, a U.S. en- docrinologist, says about 30 per cent of males experience total failure. Another 30 per cent only get moder- ate results. We are going to hear more about broken bones and male headaches in the years ahead. Men will catch up with women as more doctors pre- scribe testosterone. And unless we all use our legs more, drink milk and treat testosterone deficiency, we face a huge epidemic of osteoporosis.

Gifford- Jones, M.D. The Doctor Game shouston@durhamregion.com Help for family caregivers is now available online DURHAM ––For those caregivers trying to juggle aging loved ones with jobs and children, there is help out there. The Ontario Association of Non- Profit Homes and Services for Seniors (OANHSS), a provincial association, is launching an online resource centre to help family caregivers. This one-of- a-kind service is being funded entirely by the OANHSS, and can be accessed online at www.oanhss.org. About two-thirds of caregivers are women, typically in their mid-forties, says the association. They spend an av- erage of 28 hours a week caring for aging parents and loved ones. “A big part of the problem is they feel alone with nowhere to go for in- formation,” said John Smith of Rideaucrest Home in Kingston. The resource centre provides care- givers with information about non- profit homes, housing, and services for seniors. It also explains how to access care, and answers frequently asked questions. It is estimated that across the coun- try there are about three million family caregivers. “With the aging population, we ex- pect this number to increase signifi- cantly in the future,” said Donna Rubin, CEO of OANHSS. “There is no question this online resource will help meet a growing need.” More good news for Tai Chi proponents The proven benefits of Tai Chi keep growing and growing. Already, Western researchers have discovered that this martial art form consisting of slow, graceful, balance- enhancing movements, practised by the Chinese for centuries, can help to prevent falls, lower blood pressure and even reduce the body’s levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Now, reports the Tufts University Health and Nutrition newsletter, Ko- rean scientists from Soonchunhyang University have come up with evi- dence of yet another benefit – reliev- ing symptoms of osteoarthritis. The researchers studied 31 women in their 60s, giving 17 of them in- struction in sun-style Tai Chi, a par- ticularly gentle form developed in Australia for arthritis sufferers. After 12 weeks, the exercisers re- ported less pain and joint stiffness. They also reported strengthened stomach muscles and better ability to climb stairs, do housework and get in and out of cars. Non-exercisers reported no change in those areas or, in some cases, a decrease in ability.CANADA’S LARGEST RETIREMENT LIVING SHOW!Don’t miss Canada’s largest Retirement Living Forum now in it’s 14th Year!

Failing eyesight and blindness are common complications of aging, yet few of us take even the simplest of measures to protect our eyesight. Instead, there’s a tendency to go through life assuming blindness is something that only happens to others. Take glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in North America. Although it affects close to 300,000 Canadians over the age of 40, it’s estimated half this number aren’t even aware they have the disease. Worse still, studies have shown that many of those prescribed medications to treat glaucoma don’t adhere to instructions when taking it, or fail to follow-up with repeat prescriptions. The result? An increased number of patients who might have retained their vision by controlling glaucoma instead lose their eyesight prematurely. Timely detection important With glaucoma, it’s the peripheral vision that fades first, and it does so extremely slowly. In most cases, help isn’t sought until an individual can see only the narrow area in front of them, often long after irreparable damage has occurred. If detected in time, however, glaucoma can be controlled with eye drops in all but 12 per cent of patients. In addition to the drops, which must be taken as prescribed, patients should also visit an ophthalmologist regularly to ascertain the extent of the damage done to the optic nerve. This is generally accompanied by a peripheral vision test allowing the ophthalmologist to map any further loss in the field of vision. Compliance: it makes sense Dealing with glaucoma after diagnosis can be a problem, largely due to the fact the condition is symptomless. Feeling no pain or discomfort from the condition itself, patients may find the application of eyedrops burdensome or might experience mild side effects, causing them to cease treatment - often with disastrous results. For example, ceasing treatment can lead to increased pressure in the eye, leaving a patient susceptible to visual field damage and premature blindness. It’s important that patients prescribed with glaucoma medication stick rigidly to the instructions of their doctor or pharmacist in order to prevent vision loss. The following tips can go a long way to help ensure you remain a compliant patient: • Discuss treatment options – eyedrops requiring fewer doses, such as a once- a-day treatment make compliance easier • Become knowledgeable – discuss potential side effects with your doctor, and learn about your condition and its treatment • Have your doctor instruct you in the best way to apply eye drops • Renew that prescription – once placed upon glaucoma medication, you’ll have to continue taking it indefinitely or until notified by your physician to stop • Keep your ophthalmologist appointments – they will be able to track the progress of your condition, and can adjust treatments accordingly Finally, do not let glaucoma fool you – just because there aren’t any obvious symptoms does not mean the condition has disappeared. Failure to comply with your doctor’s instructions can lead to a number of problems, not least of which is blindness. Only by becoming a compliant patient – that is, one who takes their medication exactly as prescribed without missing an application or failing to renew a prescription – will you reduce the odds of such a tragedy happening to you. special sponsored feature Insights Learning to recognize and fight glaucoma Simple steps such as taking medications consistently will help combat this common eye disease Are you at risk? Although anyone can develop glaucoma, you are at greater risk if you: • have high eye pressures • have a family member with glaucoma • are of African descent • are 40 years or older • have diabetes or high blood pressure • are nearsighted • had a traumatic eye injury This Special Sponsored Feature was produced by Forever Young and Pharmacia Canada A glaucoma primer Glaucoma is the term for a group of disorders of the eye that are characterized by progressive optic-nerve damage and vision loss, usually related to high intraocular pressure.

This same fluid drains out through a meshwork into a canal on the outside edge of the cornea. If blocked, drainage is restricted and increased pressure on the optic nerve causes the visual field – the area seen from side to side and from top to bottom when you’re looking straight ahead – to slowly diminish. Chronic (or open-angle) glaucoma affects 80 to 90 per cent of people with the condition, causing a gradual diminution of vision. Acute closed-angle (or narrow-angle) glaucoma happens quickly, causing severe headache and pain near the eyes, nausea, blurred vision and halos around lights and requires immediate medical attention. Secondary glaucoma results from an injury to the eye, an eye tumor, advanced cataracts or an inflam- matory condition, such as iritis. Low-tension glaucoma is the rare form of the disease that damages the optic nerve, even though pressure in the eye is within normal limits.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 7, 2002 PAGE 17 A/P Blackstock abuse case delayed DURHAM ––The case of a Blackstock couple accused of con- fining their sons to makeshift cages likely won’t proceed in the courts until next year. Lawyers for the parents, who stand charged along with a family friend, held pre-trial discussions with Crown counsel in a judge’s chambers Thursday at the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa. When they emerged, the case was adjourned to May 8 for a con- tinuing pre-trial. Defence counsel Alex Sosna said Jan. 6, 2003 was set as a target date for a preliminary hearing, in which a judge determines if the case will go to trial. There were no earlier available court times, Mr. Sosna said outside court. The parents, arrested by Durham Regional Police on July 5, 2001, are accused of locking their adopted sons, ages 14 and 15 at the time, in enclosed baby cribs for hours at a time over a period of years. Police also allege the boys were physically abused, forced to wear diapers and deprived of proper nourishment. The teens were taken into the care of the Children’s Aid Society and placed in foster homes. The 49-year-old man and his 40-year-old wife, who are both free on $10,000 bail, are jointly charged with forcible confinement, failing to provide the necessaries of life, assault, assault with a weapon and aggravated assault. The mother is also charged with administering a noxious substance. A third person, a 28-year-old Port Perry man who is an extended family member, is also charged with assault with a weapon and forcible confinement. None of the accused appeared in court Thursday. AJAX —When you moved clocks ahead this weekend, you should also have installed new batteries for the smoke alarms in your house. Daylight savings time begins Sunday,April 7 (today) and that means moving clocks ahead one hour. But, Ajax Chief Fire Pre- vention Officer Thom Evered reminds everyone to change the battery in all smoke alarms at the same time. “Ensuring your smoke alarms work when you need them is very important. Change your smoke alarm batteries twice a year when you change your clocks, and never use rechargeable batteries,” he said. Smoke alarms are lifesavers, but only if they work, Mr. Evered added. “Please take a few minutes to change the batteries. It could save your life.” For more information, call Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices at 905-683-7791. Fire department sounds alarm on smoke detector batteries ADVERTISING FEATURE By Rory Sheehan, B.a., B.Ed., M.B.A. We have all heard about the importance of goal setting, and we understand why we should be taking consistent action towards achieving our goals. We know what we should do, and we even know we should do it. So why are so many of us not experiencing the lifestyles that we want, or achieving the goals that we set? I have been teaching people to set goals and manage change in the lives for many years now, and I have always been searching for a simple solution to help people get results they want. And I have finally found it. It is a very simple solution, and it is exceptionally effec- tive. The problem with this simple and effective solution for achieving goals and managing change, is that it is so simple, most people often discount it before making any effort because it is “too simple”. What I would do in this article is to share this simple solution with you in hope that you will use it as a highly effective tool in changing your live. The solution is based on belief that you are where you are by choice. In order to change where you are going in the future you must make a choice to facilitate that change. Unfortunately, our conscious choice, and all our actions are strongly influenced by our unconscious minds. This means that we must look to our unconscious minds to create any meaningful and lasting change. You may want to create changes so you can make more money, loose some weight, or start a new business. Regardless of what it is you want, your ability to achieve it rests in your uncon- scious mind. And that is where you must focus your efforts. If you can change the belief held in your uncon- scious mind, then that change will influ- ence your conscious thoughts, and direct all your actions and behaviours towards your desired outcomes. In order to create change in your unconscious mind you must begin by asking yourself the following question. “What is it that has prevented me from experiencing what ever it is I want up until this point in my life?” Whatever it is, this belief must be changed before you will be able to achieve whatever it is you want in the future. If you change this belief, you will change the future. As an example, if we were to look at someone who was interested in making more money, but they believed things like: “money can’t buy happiness” and “money is the root of all evil”, can you see how this person would have a difficult time creating large amounts of money? Every time they got themselves on the right track, something would kick in at the uncon- scious level that said “STOP THAT”. “You want to be happy, and you are not a bad person, so stay away from that evil money”. That unconscious pro- gramming would stop the positive actions that were generating the money, and force this person to start all over again. Sound familiar? However, once these limiting beliefs have been changed, and this per- son no longer sabotages their money making efforts, everything improves. Can you see how this single change can significantly increase their chance of creat- ing wealth in their life? There are many effec- tive ways to change limiting beliefs. One easy and fun way is to imagine yourself as a child, before you held any of your limiting beliefs. See yourself at that time when anything was possible. Allow yourself to feel the experience deep inside that says you can achieve anything you set your mind too. Notice how you feel. Also notice how you feel about your future. What a simple approach to changing your destiny. All based on using positive feelings you have already experienced at some point in your life. You may need to repeat this exercise several times before you feel comfortable holding onto your new beliefs, but it is definitely worth the effort. Now notice how you approach your goals in a dif- ferent way. How you feel dif- ferent about achieving your goals. And most importantly, notice how that self talk going on inside your head is far more encouraging. Practice this approach in all areas that you feel are limiting your achieve- ments, and enjoy how your results change to reflect your new empowering beliefs.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 7, 2002 PAGE 19 A/P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER APRIL 7, 2002 Ajax girls get their kicks, clinch playoff spot Seven-game unbeaten streak highlighted by big shutout win AJAX —The Ajax Warriors Young Drivers of Canada under- 14 girls’rep team clinched a play- off spot by convincingly defeat- ing league-leading Woodbridge 4-0 in recent North York Hearts Indoor Soccer League action at the Hangar in Downsview. The Ajax girls have again put together another end-of-season undefeated streak, winning five and tying two of their last seven games to run their season record to 9-4-5 in the 21-team league. This equals their accomplish- ment at the end of last year’s out- door season in the Central Girls Soccer League Regional Divi- sion. At that time, they also won five and tied two in the last seven games. Against Woodbridge, the War- riors struck early when Kelly Johnstone took a quick corner kick to spot the wide open Stephanie Moss, who hammered a drive past a defenceless Wood- bridge goalie. A few minutes later, Moss re- ceived a long pass from defensive stalwart Carley Pierson. Moss faked right and delivered a beau- tiful left foot shot to the top cor- ner. On a Woodbridge counter-at- tack a few minutes later, Ajax de- fender Jillian Grosso stepped over midfield to intercept a pass and drilled home a 30-yard drive. In the second half, the War- riors defence continued its strong play, while centre-midfielders Amanda Mattless and Heather Browning were relentless in their play as well. Midway throughout the sec- ond half, Moss completed the hat trick after receiving a nice pass from Deidre Lowe, who played well despite a cast on her broken arm. Alex Martinez, the team’s most valuable player, earned her fourth shutout over the unbeaten stretch. Rounding out the team are Courtney Collicott, Kyla McDon- ald, and Nicole Melong. Derek Johnstone and Kelly Corrigan coach the team. The manager is Nancy Mattless.

Ever popular musical starts run later this month BY PAULO SANTOS Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM ––Why pay big bucks for a plane ticket to Ok- lahoma, when the Oshawa Lit- tle Theatre can take you there for a small fee? The theatre will be per- forming Rodgers and Ham- merstein’s masterpiece musi- cal, ‘Oklahoma,’ this month. The legendary musical cre- ators have also co-written ‘The Sound of Music,’ ‘The King and I,’ and many more. Judith Edmondson, stage manager and former president of the theatre’s board, said Rodgers and Hammerstein are one of the major reasons why musi- cals are so enjoyed today. “They revitalized American musical theatre,” she said. “‘Oklahoma’ is a very impor- tant musical. It was the first American musical that really started musicals in a new di- rection.” The play is set, naturally, in Oklahoma, and tells the story of a cowboy named Curly (Bryan Chamberlain) and his girl Laurey (Sarah Mitchell), and how they finally managed to get together after all the dif- ficulties they have gone through. “It’s sort of a standard love story, with lots of good music, lots of dancing, and a very strong cast,” said Edmondson. “They’re really going to do justice to the story.” The cast consists of 38 ac- tors, most of whom are from Durham Region. “There is a lot of stage movement in this one,” said Susan Farr, director. “There is a lot of choreography to be done. We do have a choreogra- pher, but she is only doing a few numbers. It’s a challenge to move 38 people around.” So why was ‘Oklahoma’ chosen? “It’s a musical everybody loves,” said Edmondson, “and we’ve never done it before.” Performances will run April 18 to 21, 25 to 28, May 2 to 4, and 9 to 11. All shows will start at 8 p.m., except for Sun- day, April 21 which starts at 2 p.m. The Oshawa Little The- atre is located at 62 Russett Ave. in north Oshawa, one block south of Taunton Road. Tickets are $18 and can be purchased at the information booth at Centre Court in The Oshawa Centre. For more in- formation call the theatre at 905-723-0282.
