DURHAM —Durham’s tax increase could be less
than anyone — even regional finance staff — had
hoped, thanks to savings in downloaded costs from the
Province.
In final budget deliberations Wednesday, Durham’s
finance and administration committee recommended a
3.5-per cent tax increase, down significantly from the
six per cent the committee had been anticipating.
“Three-point-five is pretty good considering we
were giving a six-per cent tar-
get to staff,” said finance
chairman and Ajax Council-
lor Jim McMaster.
If the budget is approved
at the Wednesday, April 17
Durham council meeting, the
increase will cost $47.15
extra on this year’s tax bill for
the owner of a home valued at
$200,000. The regional tax
portion accounts for about 47
per cent of the total tax bill,
with municipal and educa-
tional taxes making up the
balance.
The primary savings came
from a reduction in Durham’s
contribution to the GTA so-
cial assistance and housing
pool, said Jim Clapp, finance commissioner.
As part of the budget process, regional staff was
asked to prepare budgets at a maximum of a three-per
cent increase to 2001 budget, with an additional three
per cent allowed for the police budget.
The budget includes a new garbage collection sys-
tem for four municipalities, which have turned over
collection to the regional government as part of an ini-
tiative to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill

Kinsale property owner says fill is ‘just dirt and water’
City probes complaints
from north Pickering
neighbours
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —A north
Pickering property has residents
up in arms and City council ask-
ing questions as to what’s being
dumped there.
“It stinks in there,” said Kin-
sale resident Eva Orlandi, whose
property is just to the east.
“Trucks are going in and out all
day long from all different com-
panies...it’s supposed to be farm-
land.”
Property owner James Sabis-
ton said the only thing being
dumped on his land, off Hwy. 7
just west of Kinsale Road, is mud
from hydraulic drilling and
pipeline construction in and
around the Greater Toronto Area.
“It’s just clean fill,” he said.
“It’s just dirt and water.”
Nancy Listro also lives in the
area around the property.
“It’s consuming our life,” she
said. “It’s disgusting.”
Ms. Listro said residents have
been complaining to the City for
two years with no results.
Mr. Sabiston maintained he is
doing nothing illegal and the
complaints are unwarranted.
“If anything’s moving they
want it stopped, that’s the resi-
dents’ theory,” he said.
Pickering council has passed a
motion asking City staff, the On-
tario ministries of Environment
and Health, and the Toronto Re-
gion Conservation Authority
(TRCA) to investigate the resi-
dents’ concerns.
“According to the landowner
it’s just clean fill, but we’re inves-
tigating that now,” said Ward 3
Regional Councillor Rick John-
son.
“I can see the residents are
frustrated, but we have no way of
stopping them.”
Coun. Johnson said the On-
tario Public Service Employees
Union strike has delayed any
provincial investigations.
Pickering clerk Bruce Taylor
said he was “uncomfortable”
commenting on the matter as the
City is pursuing its options re-
garding the issue.
“We are pursuing all actions
available and encouraging all
agencies to do so as well,” he
said.
However, as far as legal action
from the City is concerned, Mr.
Sabiston is not worried.
“We’ve been sued before,” he
said.
In fact, Mr. Sabiston said the
Ministry of the Environment and
Ministry of Natural Resources
have been on his property before
and found nothing wrong.
DURHAM —Janet Ecker is of two
minds where her future in the provincial
government is concerned.
As for Jim Flaherty, he’s looking for-
ward to meeting any challenge Ernie
Eves sends his way.
With Mr. Eves set to take over as On-
tario’s new premier Monday, rumours
are swirling as to who will be in his cab-
inet and what portfolio they will take
over — or keep.
The Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP
and education minister threw her sup-
port behind Mr. Eves after deciding not
to enter the recent Progressive Conserv-
ative leadership race herself.
“Part of me would very much like to
continue and finish the job in educa-
tion,” she said in an interview. “It’s im-
portant. Public education is very, very
important, and getting it right is impor-
tant. If I have the opportunity to stay... I
would be very pleased to continue to do
the job we’ve started.”
At the same time, however, Ms.
Ecker would like a new challenge,
maybe one that doesn’t have her sitting
on such a hot seat. “It can be a very
strenuous portfolio,” she said. “So, yeah,
part of me would be ready for a change.
Anywhere Mr. Eves wants to appoint us,
I’ll be ready to serve.”
One rumour has Elizabeth Witmer,
the current health minister and one of
Mr. Eves’ leadership rivals, taking over
the education portfolio.
Ms. Ecker said her colleague would
make an “excellent” minister of educa-
tion.
Mr. Flaherty, the Whitby-Ajax MPP
and finance minister, said he’s spoken
about his future with Mr. Eves.
“We’ve lived through a slow period.
Government revenues slowed and last
year was a slow year,” Mr. Flaherty said.
“We spoke about those issues.”
Mr. Flaherty finished second in the
race to replace outgoing Premier Mike
Harris. Mr. Eves will name a new cabi-
net Monday.
“I’m prepared to serve in whatever
(position) the premier-designate de-
cides. He has to look at the big picture,”
he said.
He added with a smile, “My primary
job is being the Whitby-Ajax MPP.”

Hwy. 401 shut down as
police make arrest at
Ajax-Whitby border
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Four men were ar-
rested in a dramatic takedown on Hwy.
401 early Friday after a Pickering
woman was kidnapped at gunpoint and
badly beaten, police say.
Durham Regional Police received a
911 call just after midnight and were
told a 19-year-old woman was being
confined and assaulted by a man armed
with a loaded handgun.
Officers checked several addresses
in the region but had no luck locating
the woman. About 1:15 a.m. a silver
Mercedes 300, registered to the victim,
was spotted leaving an apartment
building on Oxford Street in south Os-
hawa.
Police tailed the Mercedes, carrying
four male occupants and the woman,
onto the westbound Hwy. 401, while
back-up and tactical support units from
Durham and Toronto police forces
were deployed, Sergeant Paul Malik
said.
The highway was shut down both
ways with the help of Ontario Provin-
cial Police as a safety precaution, the
Durham police spokesman said.
A potential pursuit was averted
when the Mercedes stopped just east of
Lakeridge Road in Whitby. It had ap-
parently run out of gas.
The occupants were arrested at gun-
point.
The woman, who was driving the
luxury car, was taken to hospital and
treated for various injuries including a
broken hand and nose, Sgt. Malik said.
“She was visibly upset and crying
and relieved to see police,” he said.
Earlier in the night, she was al-
legedly kidnapped outside her home on
Major Oaks Drive in Pickering, forced
into her car, beaten and threatened with
a gun.
The accused is the victim’s former
live-in boyfriend, Sgt. Malik said.
“There was a past relationship between
them. She had been trying to walk
away from it,” he said.
The suspect was held in police cus-
tody while the other three male occu-
pants of the car were released without
any charges.
Police believe the gun was discard-
ed prior to the takedown and were
searching for the weapon on the side of
the highway near the Ajax-Whitby bor-
der, as well as obtaining warrants to
search residences in the region.
Justin Andrew Smith Cadore, 21, of
no fixed address, is charged with kid-
napping and forcible confinement, as-
sault, assault causing bodily harm, as-
sault with a weapon, point firearm,
possession of a dangerous weapon,
possession of a loaded restricted
weapon and two counts of threatening.

Charges laid
after woman
kidnapped, beaten
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s
Catholic school board plans to
open three new Catholic ele-
mentary schools by September
2006, while two other projects
have been put on hold.
Durham Catholic District
School Board trustees approved
a building plan for the years
2004 to 2006 Monday night,
calling for new schools in Os-
hawa, Brooklin and Ajax.
Compared to recent years,
the plan represents barely any
building activity for the board,
which over the last two years
built or is building two new ele-
mentary schools, two new high
schools, four elementary school
additions, and additions to five
high schools. Business superin-
tendent David Visser said in an
interview there are two main
reasons for the drop in activity:
the board’s enrolment has
dropped and it is finished play-
ing accommodation catch-up.
“We’ve had a very aggres-
sive capital expenditure plan
over the last couple of years,” he
said. “We’ve essentially caught
up with our secondary school
construction. Elementary, we
still have somewhat of a differ-
ence (between the number of
students and student spaces in
schools), but it’s far better than
we’ve had in recent years.”
A report on the April 8 agen-
da states that in 1999/00, the
board had a need for almost
5,000 permanent pupil places.
By this year, that figure was cut
in half. At the high school level,
the board has gone from need-
ing more than 3,000 permanent
pupil places two years ago to re-
quiring just 150.
The report states “elemen-
tary enrolments have not been
increasing as rapidly as origi-
nally expected and for that rea-
son the board should be cau-
tious in its capital construction
schedule over the 2004-2006
period so as not to overbuild.”
The new building plan calls
for a 432-pupil school, slated to
open in the Winchester and
Thickson roads area of Brooklin
in September 2005; a 457-pupil
school at Rossland and Westney
roads in Ajax; and a 481.5-pupil
facility for the Taunton and Har-
mony roads area in Oshawa.
The latter schools are to open in
September 2006.
Mr. Visser said the plans for
the schools are based on current
enrolment information and not
set in stone. “We’ll be looking
to make alterations to this long-
term plan as the time comes
near,” he said.
Meanwhile, schools to be
built in Ajax and Whitby have
been delayed. In the 2001 to
2004 plan, approved 15 months
ago, the board planned for a
480-student facility on Shoal
Point Road in Ajax in 2002/03.
And a 579.5-student school was
envisioned for the Anderson
Street and Dryden Boulevard
area of Whitby for 2003/04.
Growth slows for Catholic board

DURHAM ––Durham is
ready to tell the world ‘We
want ITER.’
A five-person delegation
from the Region of Durham
and the Municipality of Clar-
ington will head to Moscow
to tell international delegates
the Region wants to host the
$12-billion international fu-
sion research facility in Clar-
ington.
News Advertiser reporter
Jacquie McInnes will join the
delegation making the week-
long trip, to provide a first-
hand account for readers.
“Since the support of the
community is one of the im-
portant criteria in assessing
the final site, ITER Canada
has requested that the com-
munity host an event for the
upcoming ITER delegates in
Moscow,” explains Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson.
“As a result, Durham Region
and the Municipality of Clar-
ington have partnered with
the Canadian Embassy in
Moscow to jointly host a re-
ception.”
The Russian Federation is
a partner with Japan, the Eu-
ropean Union and Canada
working to find the ideal site
for the research project. The
facility is expected to be the
final step in harnessing fusion
energy as a future power
source and will mean 68,000
person-years of employment
and a substantial “brain gain”
of scientists for the host
country. Canada, France and
Japan have all expressed in-
terest in hosting the facility.
The Moscow negotiations
take place on April 22 and 23.
The contingent will leave
Wednesday, April 17 and re-
turn April 24.

TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
My name is Kurt Johansen. I’m Project Manager for the
Environmental Assessment of Ontario Power Generation’s
proposal to construct and operate a Used Fuel Dry
Storage Facility at Darlington Nuclear and I would like to
invite you to attend one of our upcoming information
Open Houses.
Responsible Management
As part of our nuclear waste management program, used fuel
bundles have been stored safely in water-filled bays at
Darlington Nuclear for more than ten years.
OPG is proposing to transfer these bundles
into large concrete and steel storage containers
and then place them in on-site storage buildings
specifically built for this purpose. Similar technology has been
approved by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and is in
use at OPG’s Pickering Nuclear and is under construction at
OPG’s waste management facility in Bruce County.
Participate in an Open House
As part of the planning and approval process for this proposed facility, we are
conducting an environmental assessment that includes ongoing public consultation. In
June 2001, we held our first round of open houses to introduce the project to the
community. Now, we are continuing with a second round to share our results-to-date
and provide a forum for public comment. Your comments will be included in the EA
Study Report to be submitted to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, the
authority responsible for this EA under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
Open houses will be held at the locations and dates listed below. OPG staff and expert
consultants will be on hand to answer your questions. We look forward to seeing you there.

Snoozing in a sleep clinic should
make one rest a little easier, right?
Wrong-o.
The siesta from hell was more like
it.
Resembling ‘Pinhead’ from the
horror flick ‘Hellraiser’, thin wires
sprung from all parts of my body
from head to toe. Further, I was
cinched up with blue straps around
by chest and waist, and plugged like
a kitchen appliance into a computer
cable at the head of the bed. All the
wiring made me wired... far from re-
laxed.
The bedroom took a page out of
Orwell’s ‘1984’ as Big Brother was
watching your every twist and turn
from a camera mounted on a wall at
the foot of the bed. And, to enable the
camera to work in darkness, an in-
frared light shone menacingly above
my head. Not exactly a serene atmos-
phere before sailing off to the land of
Winkin’, Blinkin’and Nod.
These wires, diodes, hardware
and cameras didn’t inspire confi-
dence I would enjoy a good night’s
sleep.
And, not surprisingly, I didn’t.
Suffice it to say, I was one bleary-
eyed boy the next morning.
Let’s start from the beginning.
Several months ago, my lovely wife,
who’s a nurse, suggested I see the
doctor for my snoring (note to world:
I don’t snore). Much worse, she sus-
pected I suffered from sleep apnea,
where one forgets to breathe while
sleeping.
Seeking to keep my marriage off
the matrimonial scrap heap, I agreed
to see our family doctor who, in turn,
sent me to the clinic in Oshawa.
After consultation with a clinic
doctor, I was ready to spend the night
at the house of golden slumbers in a
nondescript Motor City neighbour-
hood and find out the whys and
wherefores of my less-than-ideal
sleeping habits. Bringing along a
duffel bag of nighttime accou-
trements, I was greeted at the front
door by a technician named Becky.
Becky had lots of information to
share on this house of 40 winks (or
less, in my case). It’s interesting to
note most inmates of this den of
drowsiness are men, most of whom
grudgingly signed up at the urgings
of their wives, probably to keep the
peace.
Sleep, or the lack thereof, is defi-
nitely a growth industry, noted Becky
as she busily attached the diodes and
doo-dads. The clinic operates Mon-
day to Saturday and, on most of those
nights, the inn is full to overflowing.
The hard part, thankfully, is over.
Now I just have to go back for a fol-
lowup consultation to shed some

Hydro One sale
a disservice to
democratic process
To the editor:
The proposed sale of Ontario’s electri-
cal transmission grid — now called
Hydro One — should be of concern to all
Ontarians, regardless of political affilia-
tion. While competition in the generation
of electricity may be of net benefit, a
credible case for selling the actual supply
lines to private interests is nowhere to be
found.
This public asset, funded by genera-
tions of Ontarians is the property of those
citizens and their descendants. It fulfils a
basic societal need and should not be ex-
ploited in a short-sighted partisan politi-
cal attempt to indirectly subsidize tax
cuts. The recent sale of Hwy. 407 — at
one-third of its present value — illustrates
this absence of economic logic. There is
obviously much more than economics in-
volved in the proposed Hydro One sale.
Citizens — not a word used in this
province over the past few years — have
never been consulted on this significant
issue. Not to do so insults them, their an-
cestors and the democratic process.

The announcement of a new cabinet, especially one that
comes with a brand new premier, is always a time of excitement
in political circles. For many in society — think of the health, ed-
ucation and environment sectors especially — it’s a time to ad-
just priorities, plan strategies, and prepare for the inevitable bud-
get battles to come.
So when Premier Ernie Eves — who will romp to victory in a
byelection in a rock-solid Tory riding on May 2 — tells the pub-
lic his choices tomorrow, here’s hoping the leader will keep the
faith with the voters of Durham Region.
For Durham has been good to the Progressive Conservatives
the past two elections and is a solid hotbed of support.
The hard campaigning of Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty,
who gave Mr. Eves a good run for his money in the four-month
battle to replace former premier Mike Harris, should be forgotten
now. Mr. Flaherty staked out his positions and, like anybody in-
tent on winning, played as tough as he could in the race. But, at
the end of the day, all Tories have to remember they’re on the
same team, a fact that a political veteran like Mr. Eves under-
stands all too well.
For that reason, and because the provincial budget is due in
less than a month, it only makes sense to keep Mr. Flaherty as fi-
nance minister, a position he has held since Mr. Eves left for the
private sector 14 months ago.
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker, a strong and early
backer of Mr. Eves, has been in education since the Tories were
re-elected in the summer of 1999. Perhaps, and Ms. Ecker has
hinted at this, it’s time for a change. Education, along with health,
has been the most demanding portfolio since the Tories came to
power in 1995. Three years of almost constant warfare with
teacher unions is enough to wear anyone out. Ms. Ecker may
welcome a switch to environment or energy, two challenging
ministries, but a change is as good as a rest.
Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette, also a member of the Eves
camp, could have a shot at a minor cabinet post such as natural
resources. An avid outdoorsman with a keen interest in conserva-
tion issues, Mr. Ouellette would welcome increased responsibili-
ty after seven years on the backbenches.
Durham MPP John O’Toole backed Mr. Flaherty and is un-
likely, with the vast number of MPPs who supported Mr. Eves, to
break through this time.
Even if Durham only maintains the status quo with two cabi-
net ministers, it will be a triumph. Three ministers would ar-
guably make us the most powerful region in the province. Those
who’ve complained about underfunding would only say, it’s
about time.
Will Durham power
new cabinet?
Local MPPs Flaherty, Ecker will play
important roles in Eves’government

This is the fourth in a series of
monthly features examining envi-
ronmental issues in Durham Re-
gion. In this story we look at how
the increasing number of golf
courses in Durham stay in harmo-
ny with the surrounding environ-
ment.
Golf courses balance
environmental concerns
against pleasing golfers
BY TIM FORAN
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– In their ongoing
efforts to become more environ-
mentally friendly, golf courses in
Durham Region are finding their
worst enemy are golfers them-
selves.
Specifically, as golf fans settle in
to watch television coverage of the
illustrious Masters tournament from
Augusta, Ga., this weekend, golf
course supervisors are expecting an
inevitable fallout.
“Most North American golfers
suffer from what’s called the ‘Au-
gusta Syndrome’,” explains Tim
O’Connor, director of communica-
tions for ClubLink, which operates
the Cherry Downs Golf Club in
Pickering along with 33 other facil-
ities across Canada.
“Every week golfers watch TV
and they hear the commentators and
the golfers talk about this very
beautiful golf course with the firm,
fast greens. And the course is in
magnificent shape - it looks ab-
solutely awesome,” Mr. O’Connor
says, noting the situation is particu-
larly exacerbated following the
Masters when courses across much
colder Canada are preparing to open
for the season.
The result, he says, is an unreal
expectation among golfers for simi-
larly pristine conditions on local
courses. “They expect wall-to-wall
emerald green. No brown spots, no
weeds, and that’s just totally unreal-
istic.”
Realistic or not, a lush, green
and well-trimmed course is what
the golfing market often demands.
And meeting those expectations is
where courses often run afoul of en-
vironmentalists, says Scott Martin,
the national co-ordinator for the Au-
dobon Co-operative Sanctuary Sys-
tem of Canada.
“When we have golf courses that
are mowing right down to the
water’s edge... that generally is not
the superintendent’s desire to do
that,” Mr. Martin says. “It’s basical-
ly the golfers are demanding this ar-
tificial esthetic, (and) they’re creat-
ing problems where there’s poten-
tial for fertilizer and chemicals to
run off into the surface water.”
Audobon Canada has been
working with golf courses for the
past five years to improve their en-
vironmental practices. More than
200 courses across Canada are cur-
rently registered in the Audobon
program, including a half-dozen in
Durham Region. Though the regis-
tration cost is only $200, receiving
full Audobon certification is a long
process. So far, only 26 courses in
Canada have the certification, none
in Durham.
“It’s not like, they build a bird
box and we give them a certificate,
there’s an awful lot more to that,”
admits Mr. Martin.
Specifically,Audobon’s program
demands golf courses complete an
overall environmental plan as well
as more specific plans to provide
habitat for wildlife, conserve water,
maintain or enhance water quality,
and for integrated pest management
(controlling pesticide usage).
John Gravette, the manager of
golf operations for The Granite
Club golf course in Uxbridge, says
the Audobon program is driving
many environmental initiatives in
the golfing industry.
“Compared to 20 years ago there
have been major steps forward in
environmental compliance and en-
vironmental stewardship,” suggests
Mr. Gravette, the immediate past
president of the Ontario Golf Super-
intendent’s Association (OGSA).
“From an OGSA standpoint,
we’re looking at it as we think the
Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary
System should be mandatory,” he
adds.
Along with Audobon, another
company in Canada provides a sim-
ilar environmental rating program
for golf courses. The Green Links
program started in Ontario in Sep-
tember 1999. Twenty-eight courses
in the province, including three in
Durham, were selected to partici-
pate in the three-year pilot project,
which included Environment Cana-
da subsidizations for consultancy
services.
“The Green Links program is
very much designed as an evalua-
tion tool,” outlines John Polak,
president of Green Links. “And it
takes into account the kinds of
things Audobon proposes but it also
looks at the entire business activity
of a golf course.”
No Canadian course has yet re-
ceived the highest five-flag rating
from Green Links, but Oshawa’s
Kedron Dells was just the second
course in Ontario and sixth in Cana-
da to be recognized with a four-flag
rating last year.
The rewards didn’t come with-
out a cost, though.
In its first two years in the pro-
gram, Kedron Dells spent nearly
$50,000 on major projects such as
installing new storage tanks for
chemicals to minor changes such as
using energy-efficient light bulbs
and shower heads in the clubhouse.
“People are beginning to realize
that if you do the right environmen-
tal things you will use less water,
less energy, less chemicals and
therefore save money,” says Mr.
Polak.
Unfortunately, the Green Links
program has not signed up any new
Ontario courses since it began. In
fact, three courses have dropped out
of the program, including the Mill
Run course in Uxbridge.
Therefore, only a small percent-
age of Durham’s 41 existing golf
courses are involved with either Au-
dobon or Green Links.
However, it is the number and
location of golf courses in the re-
gion that concerns the Durham En-
vironmental Advisory Committee.
The committee, an advisory
body to Durham Region, is current-
ly participating in a review of
Durham’s Official Plan and it in-
tends to discuss the future of golf in
Durham when it releases an envi-
ronmental discussion paper as part
of that process later this year.
What’s forcing the committee’s
hand is the constantly growing mar-
ket for golf in the Greater Toronto
Area. Most industry observers say
the high green fees in the GTA are
evidence the supply of golf courses
is not keeping up with demand.
Currently, Durham Region and
its municipalities are considering 11
proposals for new golf courses or
expansions to existing ones. Two
new courses, Goodwood Hills in
Uxbridge and Watson’s Glen in
Pickering, and an expansion to
Cherry Downs are also approved
but not yet built.
And this could be just the tip of
the iceberg. In 2000, Halton Region
completed a comprehensive golf
course study, including estimating
the demand for new golf courses in
the GTA - a study Durham’s plan-
ners cite for reference.
In the report, Halton concluded
there would be a need for 18 to 44
new golf courses in Durham Region
alone by the year 2021 to meet mar-
ket demand.
In Durham, every golf course ap-
plication must be accompanied by
an environmental impact study, ei-
ther commissioned by the planning
department or peer reviewed by a
consultant of Durham’s choosing.
But there is growing concern
among environmentalists about the
inability of site-specific environ-
mental studies to measure the cu-
mulative impacts of all the GTA’s
golf courses put together.
For example, there are 14 golf
courses in the Duffins Creek and
Carruthers Creek watershed, locat-
ed in the western portion of Durham
Region. And three new golf courses
and an expansion are either ap-
proved or proposed for lands within
the watershed.
A spokesman for Durham’s
planning department responds a tri-
regional (Durham, York, Peel)
groundwater strategy currently
being worked on will likely discuss
the cumulative impact of golf
courses on the water table.
But it seems some golf courses
have already got the message. AGS
Capital, the backers of Markham’s
famed Angus Glen course (host of
this year’s Canadian Open), is
proposing to build a British-style
golf course on the sandy hills of the
moraine in Uxbridge.
Angus Glen is promising to limit
the amount of water it uses on the
course, keep fairways narrow and
bounded by trees and create exten-
sive vegetative buffers around wet-
lands.
“We do believe brown is beauti-
ful,” explains Don McIntyre, a se-
nior vice-president with Angus
Glen Developments. “(We’re) only
watering fairways, tees and greens.
(We’re) not watering that wall-to-
wall area to keep it green.”
However, ClubLink’s Mr. O’-
Connor says Angus Glen’s plan
could meet with resistance from an
old enemy - the golfer.
“The United States Golf Associ-
ation has been moving for years and
years on this brown is beautiful
thing and most North American
golfers won’t accept it,” he says.

Mental health patients ‘victims
of this strike:’Whitby doctor
Patients denied therapy,
programs, outings,
psychiatrist says
BY NATALIE MILLER
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Patients are spend-
ing hours on end lying in bed or wan-
dering the halls of the region’s barren
mental health facility.
While Whitby Mental Health Cen-
tre patients would normally be en-
gaged in group activities that teach
them essential life skills or occupa-
tional therapy that keeps them mo-
bile, they’re directionless while those
who care for them stand on the pick-
et lines.
“It’s not a very pleasant sight to
see,” said Dr. Peter Prendergast, psy-
chiatrist-in-chief for the health care
facility.
“They are the victims of this
strike.”
There’s no end in sight for the
OPSEU strike, now in its fifth week.
Since March 13, the mental health
centre has been operating with man-
agers only, and less than 30 per cent
of its normal staff.
Basically, patients are being fed
and medicated, said Dr. Prendergast.
He said custodial care might have
been acceptable 50 years ago, but not
in 2002. He noted the focus of mental
health care today is proactive.
Striking OPSEU member and
Local 331 president Joan Gates said
members feel badly for the patients
but the picket line is their only op-
tion.
“It’s a shame,” she said.
“It’s very unfortunate this is al-
lowed to happen in the province of
Ontario. It’s the only measure we
have,” she added.
“We don’t like being on the picket
line. We’re health care providers. I
know the patient advocate groups are
complaining. Everyone feels bad
about the services that aren’t being
provided to our clients.”
An advocacy group for psychiatric
patients has serious concerns about
the health and quality of life for resi-
dents in the four remaining provincial
psychiatric hospitals.
“Conditions are deteriorating,”
said Vahe Kehyayan, director of the
Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office
(PPAO), an arm’s-length program of
the Ministry of Health and Long
Term Care.
“The longer this goes on, the more
difficult it is for patients to recover.
Their lives have been suspended.”
The PPAO has patient advocates
on site at each psychiatric hospital.
They have learned most patients do
not have access to therapies or recre-
ation and can’t take part in communi-
ty visits or outings. Slow mail deliv-
ery means patients can’t correspond
with people in the community and
their access to religious services has
been impeded.
“We’re doing what we can as a
management group to maintain the
best patient care,” said Ron Ballan-
tyne, administrator for Whitby Men-
tal Health Centre. The health centre
closed some units and reduced the
number of patients in the facility.
Prior to the strike, Mr. Ballantyne
said staff would arrange support for
any patients who were discharged or
placed on leaves of absences.
“It’s very, very difficult. Patients
are experiencing great hardships as a
result of this labour dispute.”
Christine Wildman, a recreation
instructor at the mental health centre
and OPSEU member, isn’t working
but hasn’t joined her placard-bearing
colleagues on the picket line.
“I don’t believe we should be get-
ting a raise on the backs of patients,”
said Ms. Wildman.
While she agrees with the princi-
ples of the strike, instead of picketing
she’s contacting her local MP and
MPP, the Canadian Mental Health
Association, and going door-to-door
to spread the word the strike is having
an impact beyond the nuisances of
not being able to get a driver’s licence
or health card.
“To the geriatric population and
those who function at a low level
where one-to-one staffing is required,
even regular daily exercise is not pos-
sible. Let’s face it.
“The strike is now in its (30th day)
–– if we knew a dog had been con-
fined for that length of time, there
would be public outcry and charges
laid.
“We must act to protect the rights
of the institutionalized so that this
lack of treatment/services –– a dis-
crimination toward the care of the
mentally ill –– never happens again.”

AJAX —The old adage ‘honesty is the best
policy’ ran through Stephanie Minns’ head re-
cently when she found $60 and returned it to its
owner.
Upon returning home Saturday, April 6, Ajax
resident Pauline Milligan unknowingly dropped
$60 on the ground as she was getting out of her
van.
“I hadn’t realized I lost it,” Mrs. Milligan
said. “I had come back from shopping and it
must have fallen out near my van.”
Stephanie, a News Advertiser carrier, was de-
livering her papers when she found the money.
“I was going up the driveway (of Mrs. Milli-
gan’s house) and saw it beside her van,” said the
16-year-old student.
Mrs. Milligan said she was surprised when
young Stephanie showed up at her door to return
the money.
“I didn’t realize I had lost that much. If she
hadn’t returned it I wouldn’t have realized I lost
it until a few days later,” she said. “I thought it
was really nice of her. It was really honest.”
For her good deed, Stephanie said Mrs. Mil-
ligan thanked her very much and gave her a $5
tip.

Fangs for the memories: Garter snake stirs excitement at school
St. Wilfrid principal
calls report of
harmless bites a first
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
PICKERING —When two
students told their principal they
were bitten by a snake in the
schoolyard Tuesday, there was no
disputing part of the story — stu-
dents were already buzzing, er,
hissing, with excitement over the
reptiles’ appearance.
It was a first for St. Wilfrid
Catholic School principal Helen
Lanthier.
“I’ve been at a variety of
schools for 20 years and I’ve never
had this before,” she said in an in-
terview, adding, “The excitement
about the two snakes in the yard
was unbelievable.”
For the Grade 3 students in
question, among a group fascinat-
ed by the reptiles, the urge to
touch and pick up the creatures
was irresistible. When they came
into the office, separately, report-
ing they had been bitten, Ms. Lan-
thier said she was taking no
chances.
“I called the public health de-
partment about it to get some ad-
vice,” she said.
One of the students did have
three small puncture holes on his
wrist, said Ms. Lanthier, noting it
looked more like a scrape. She
saw no evidence of a bite on the
other student.
The public health inspector on
the other end of the environmental
help line suggested she inform the
students’ parents.
“As much as we know, there
are no poisonous snakes in this
area, and snakes don’t carry ra-
bies,” explained Durham Region
Health Department spokesman
Glendene Collins.
Ms. Lanthier said the reptiles in
question were garter snakes, and
she got a good look at them.
“An older student thought he
would pick up the snakes with a
couple of sticks and bring them
into the office,” she said.
Ms. Lanthier added the two
students are “perfectly fine”.
As for the snakes, they were re-
leased in the ravine near the
school.

Yoga practice is a development,
which happens from the outside in. It is a
progression, but it is not like school where
you get promoted to the next grade by
your teacher if you’ve done all your work.
In yoga, there are no assignments, no
marks, and you decide when you’re ready
to move on. We do have a few suggestions
to help you. Our courses have progressed
from the initial open format to a well
structured learning experience that will
guide you to a progressively deeper
understanding of yourself and your life
challenges. Beginner, Intermediate, and
Open classes provide the basic structure
while meditation, chakra classes, power
yoga, tai chi classes add depth to your
learning.
Little/No Yoga Experience - highly
recommended that you attend a 10 week
introductory session. Fitness and flexibil-
ity are not the main factors to consider
here. No matter what your fitness level is,
you will need to learn the basics of prop-
er alignment, foundation postures, and
perhaps most importantly, the yogic
breath.
Next Step: There is no need to rush
off to intermediate. It is interesting to note
that many people have decided to repeat
the introductory course in order to deep-
en their body’s ‘understanding’ of yoga.
You’ll decide when you’re ready to take
an Intermediate course, where you’ll
learn some more advanced postures and
investigate longer holding times. The
Intermediate course assumes that you
have taken the introductory session.
Then What?By now, you’ll have a
minimum of 20 weeks of yoga practice,
and you can feel free to experiment. You
can investigate with confidence, any of
the Open Yoga classes, or you might want
to try one of the specialty courses such as
Chakra Yoga or Power Yoga. The level of
difficulty is largely a factor of the people
who are in the class and how long they
have been practicing, except for Power
Yoga, which is just plain tough! Every
yoga teacher has their own style, devel-
oped over time just as your own style will
develop.

ON-GOING YOGA CLASSES ON-GOING YOGA CLASSES ON-GOING YOGA CLASSES ON-GOING YOGA CLASSESMy name is Marjorie Garst. I live with my husband
John. I am a homemaker and mother of four. I vol-
unteer as a foster mother for newborn babies. I lost
a remarkable 71 pounds in eight short months
without dieting. I went from a chubby size 20 to a
trim size 10! This is my true-life account of gen-
uine, lasting weight loss success.
I had read the hypnosis’ ads for
months. Frankly, I was skeptical. It seemed too
good to be true. Then I saw a special report on the
News. It featured folks who had quit smoking and
dropped weight with hypnosis. One lady said she
lost over 90 lbs. She said hypnosis made it simple.
That got my attention.
I honestly didn’t think the people in
the ads were real until I saw it on the 11:00 News.
Now it’s happened
to me and I have
my own true story
to tell.
Embarrassed and
Ashamed
I dreaded
my yearly visits to
the doctor. My
weight was climb-
ing at a rate of ten
or more pounds a
year. It was dan-
gerous for me to
gain weight. My
blood pressure and cholesterol were sky high. My
joints were stiff and ached con-
stantly. I could barely lift myself
out of a chair. My health was in
jeopardy. Yet I couldn’t stop
eating. I was out of control.
I was a career snacker. I
sat on the sofa, watched TV and
ate. I sat at the kitchen table,
read the newspaper and ate.
When I fed my foster babies, I
fed myself too. I lived on sweets
and soda pop. Food seemed to
have some mysterious power
over me. I ate all day. With
every expansion of my hips and thighs my self-
confidence withered. I was embarrassed, shy and
reserved.
Dieting was the most confusing and
frustrating experience of my life. Diets made me
crave and binge. The only way I lost weight was by
starving myself. I lost ten pounds once. Then I
gave up and my weight came right back plus ten
pounds more. My self-esteem was demolished.
Immediate Results
I was nervous when I called for the
appointment. I didn’t want to be pressured. The
free hypnotic screening was a wonderful surprise.
My consultant was genuinely interested in me. The
high-pressure sales pitch never happened. She
explained hypnosis in a relaxed, entertaining way.
She went over the guarantee. I was impressed. If I
couldn’t be hypnotized, I would get a full refund. I
had nothing to lose except a lot of fat. I signed up.
My new eating habits
started immediate-
ly after my first
session. My hunger
pangs disappeared.
My taste for soda
pop vanished. I found
myself craving healthy
foods. Fruits and vegetables
tasted different. It was like my taste buds came
alive.
One day I
was walking
through the
grocery store. I
marched right
past the bak-
ery, candy,
chips and soda
without a
glance. That’s
when I was
convinced.
Hypnosis had
completely
changed my
taste.
Doctor’s Delight!
My last visit to my doctor was a
thrill! My doctor nodded his head with
delight. He confirmed my 71-pound weight
loss. For the first time in my life my blood
work and cholesterol are normal without
pills!
I feel fantastic. No more
aches and pains. No more cravings
or binges. Best of all, hyp-
nosis eliminated dieting
for good!
Hypno-
sis made my weight
loss easy and effortless.
I know I will never gain
the weight back. All the
changes are permanent. I have a whole different
way of thinking about what I put into my body. I
never feel deprived.
Self-Confidence Soars!
When I was overweight I was extreme-
ly withdrawn. Some days I hardly spoke a word. I
thought everyone was judging me. My self-worth
was zero.
When the weight came off I felt better
about myself. Hypnosis helped me relax. I gained a
feeling of inner peace. I knew I was back in
control of my life.
One Sunday my minister asked me to
stand up in church to announce how much weight I
had lost. After the service folks surrounded me to ask
how I did it. I was completely comfortable chatting
away with them. I couldn’t believe it was me! So
relaxed! So confident! There are now seven mem-
bers of our church using hypnosis. Including my hus-
band, John! He’s already lost 30 pounds!
My entire family has changed thanks to
hypnosis. My son lost 22 pounds. My 83-
year-old mother lost 18 pounds. We’re sav-
ing money on our food bill every week.
What a bonus!
Twenty Years Younger
I thought I’d never wear
a bathing suit again. On the 4th
of July I gazed at myself in the
mirror. I was wearing a sexy
black and purple one-
piece suit. I loved
what I saw! I wore it
that day and many
days since. The best
day of my life was spent
filling two giant boxes with fat clothes I’ll
never wear again.
People say I look twenty years
younger. They wonder why I’m
always smiling. I have tons of energy.
I’m light on my feet. I have a social
life! I owe it all to the power of hyp-
nosis.
Invaluable!
My results at using hypnosis are
invaluable to me. That’s why I’m sharing my
story with you. I believe in hypnosis. I’m certain
you’ll be as thrilled as I am. I know because I’ve
met lots of other folks who are getting results like
mine. They’ve shed 50, 60, even 90 pounds with
ease.
Call Now and Schedule your hypnotic
screening. It’s absolutely free and there’s no obligation.
Ask about their no-risk guarantee. You’ll be glad you
did. If your evaluator doesn’t think hypnosis is for you,
she’ll tell you so.
I know how much it hurts to be over-
weight. I’ve been there. If you have a weight problem,
don’t put it off. You’ll probably just gain more weight.
Do what I did. Call 905-686-7717. Hypnosis worked for
me. It can work for you. Call now.

‘Homey’feel planned for annual Ajax event
Volunteers preparing
2002 Home Week
celebrations
AJAX —The terrorist attacks
of Sept. 11 have affected many
things and now they’re influenc-
ing Ajax Home Week.
The theme for Home Week
this year is Ajax: our home, said
co-chairman Gerry O’Riley.
“With Sept. 11, we wanted to
make it a homey thing,” he said.
“We want the name to be mean-
ingful for people living in Ajax.”
In the past few years, the
theme has centred on celebrating
being a kid.
Mr. O’Riley is co-chairman,
with Lawrence Smith, of the Ajax
Lions Club.
The week runs from June 8 to
16 and the traditional parade
kicks off the event.
Other activities include the
Lion’s pasta night, presentation
of the Ajax recreation advisory
committee awards and Ajax Civic
Award, the auction, Monte Carlo
night, the Kinsmen Club’s steak
dinner and dance, and the water-
front festival.
Volunteers are needed, primar-
ily for the morning of the water-
front festival, being held Sunday,
June 16.
“Most of the events are taken
care of,” noted Mr. O’Riley.
Lynn McGurk-Weil is organiz-
ing the festival.
“She has a whole lot of things
going on,” Mr. O’Riley said.
Anyone interested in volun-
teering should attend an organiz-
ing meeting so organizers can de-
termine what they would like to
do. The next meeting of the com-
mittee is Thursday, April 18 at
7:30 p.m. at the Ajax Royal
Canadian Legion, 111 Hunt St.
For more information, call Mr.
O’Riley at 905-686-0132 or Tom

Smiles Can Return With The Right Dentures
It is true that a picture is worth
a thousand words. As a denturist, I
have been confronted by a patient in
my office bearing an old photo-
graph; sometimes it’s a graduation
photo and other times it’s from a
wedding. The photographic images
all have this in common: They por-
tray youth and vigor and a won-
drous smile. Invariably, the patient
has one wish as he or she shares with
me their prized photograph. They
want that same wondrous smile they
enjoyed in their youth.
Denture changes, as designed
and filled by a denturist, can help
these patients recapture their youth.
It should be the goal of the denturist
to assure the design of new den-
tures, such that they will sustain the
image and appeal of a significantly
younger person.
Many people experience undue
anxiety about visiting the denturist.
Spending a few minutes talking
about infection control procedures
will not only boost their confidence,
it will also help them to become
knowledgeable dental consumers
and will help us to form successful
relationships with our patients.
There is a lot a denturist can
accomplish. We ensure the correct
positioning of the teeth to determine
proper lip support so as to provide
the right labial inclination and estab-
lish an automatic smile line. setting
the anterior teeth in a proper vertical
inclination will aid in meeting the
expectation a patient has in relation
to their self-image.
We have learned much in recent
years about physiology of aging
though we are sill left with the
inevitable out come and , in fact, fear
the prospect of looking different. A
comparison of a patient’s appear-
ance today with the appearance of a
few months ago may not indicate
change. Nature works mysteriously,
molecules form and reform, taking
us apart and putting us back togeth-
er each and everyday in an inexplic-
able fashion. Consider this, as you
contemplate the mysteries of nature:
humans grow two sets of teeth, ele-
phants grow six sets, and sharks
produce an indefinite number dur-
ing their lifetime. Other parts of the
human body are continually regen-
erated, continuing and affirming the
circle of life. though few of us are
psychologically able to cope with
the aging process, a denturist can
help patients achieve a balance
through hard work, common sense
and sensitivity to patients need.
As knowledge and technology
advances we, as denturists are far
more capable of adequately creating
the appearance our patients desire
far more consistently than anyone
else in dentistry. Indeed, we can
help our patients re-create
the youthful, smiling faces
seen in those photographs.

Parents raise
concerns over
program focus,
funds
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The public
school board should make
special education the focus of
the next school year in all its
schools, say Special Educa-
tion Advisory Committee
(SEAC) members.
Appearing at Monday’s
standing committee meeting,
members pointed to a lack of
consistency in attitudes to-
ward the program in the
Durham District School
Board.
“We are asking that this
board reaffirm its commit-
ment to special education for
the coming school year by
proclaiming that all schools
focus on special education
through the 2002/2003
school year,” Sherri Upton,
SEAC’s Autism Society, On-
tario representative, told
trustees and staff. “Similar to
the philosophy and goals of
the race relations initiative, it
is our hope through this rec-
ommendation that general at-
titudes of staff and students
will change to become more
inclusive and accepting of
our students with special
needs.”
Ms. Upton said parents’
experience of special-educa-
tion services varies in schools
where the program is highly
valued and supported, to oth-
ers where it is not.
SEAC also called for “im-
proved accountability and
awareness of special educa-
tion within individual
schools” by having the board
mandate that schools include
a special-education compo-
nent in their annual plan.
Ms. Upton said one area
of concern for parents is that
special-education staff is
“being used for duties that are
not related to special educa-
tion such as supply teaching
and administrative roles.”
Marlene Avery, SEAC’s
Learning Disability Associa-
tion of Durham Region repre-
sentative, said in an interview
SEAC is asking the board “to
make more with less” by
making it easier for parents to
know what they can expect in
the way of services.
“It can’t be left for every-
body’s interpretation of what
it is,” she said.
Ms. Upton provided
board-culled statistics that
show the board’s special-edu-
cation population is growing
faster than the general student
body.
In the current school year,
the elementary special-edu-
cation population grew four
times faster — 3.2 per cent
— than the general popula-
tion, while the secondary
numbers grew by 4.5 per
cent, up from 1.6 per cent in
2000/01.
With funding levels un-
changed since 1998, Ms.
Upton noted the money is
“continually depleted as the
population requiring services
increases every year.
“We are here again to tell
you that we cannot afford any
reduction of the services for
special education, especially
educational assistants (EA)
and support staff.”
On the contrary, SEAC
motioned that the board in-
crease its budget next year to
account for the growing num-
ber of students.
Ms. Upton in her presen-
tation acknowledged the
board spent $500,000 in re-
serve money last year to
maintain 18 EA positions, but
SEAC members said they un-
derstand those positions are
on the chopping block this
year.
“Our stance is we don’t
want them to (cut them),” she
said in an interview.
Ajax Wards 3 and 4
Trustee Melinda Crawford
agreed with SEAC’s position
that attitudes are not consis-
tent in schools.
“It is true that some princi-
pals are not behind special
education,” she said. “I wel-
come all the recommenda-
tions and I welcome all the
motions.”
That remark prompted a
reply from business superin-
tendent Ron Trbovich, who
said “every one of our leaders
in every one of our schools
are committed to every stu-
dent.”
“We just need you to walk
the walk,” SEAC chairman
Laurie Beaton replied from
the gallery.
SEAC members said after
two years of cuts to the
board’s program, parents are
beginning to look beyond
schools, and the government
that funds them, for services.
“I almost think that par-
ents have given up; I hate to
say that,” said Ms. Avery.
Ms. Upton, added the atti-
tude is, “it’s a long, long bat-
tle with the government. We
may as well start looking pri-
vately.”

Come on kids, use your imagination
April is the month many organiza-
tions plan Earth Week activities. Origi-
nally, April 22, known as Earth Day,
grew over the years into Earth Week and
this year encompasses two weeks. Many
countries now celebrate April as Earth
Month.
Earth Day Canada operates year-
round to provide networking, communi-
cations, and resources to improve the
state of the environment by motivating
and helping individual Canadians take
positive environmental action.
Parents with small children should
take the opportunity this month to use
their imaginations and teach conserva-
tion at the same time. A child’s ingenu-
ity and resourcefulness can be stimulat-
ed by creating a craft using a variety of
clean items that otherwise would be dis-
carded. A selection of odds and ends can
provide children of any age with a
chance to develop their creative talents.
Using identical resources, two or
more individuals can design quite differ-
ent works of art. A child would delight
in transforming objects into something
personally useful such as a scene for a
train set. If someone is frustrated about
what to create, provide a sheet of paper
and offer suggestions such as a 3-D pic-
ture or hint that a junk monster can be
formed.
Materials purchased for structured
crafts may produce more attractive me-
mentos but designing something unique
may offer greater satisfaction — and at
no cost!
The purpose of crafts is not always
about designing a great masterpiece, but
often about filling in an hour or so with
an activity that requires patience to
make things fit, small motor control, and
sharing time and ideas with friends and
family. Parents and teachers can gather
the following: corks, springs from pens,
plastic clips, bits of fabric, wool and
threads, wood shapes, onion bags, tissue
boxes, egg cartons, greeting cards, old
jewelry, blister packaging, polystyrene
pellets, and spiral binding from an old
manual before recycling its pages.
The list is endless and once you start
collecting, you begin to see all sorts of
otherwise useless things that can be
added to your 3Rs craft box.
Equip the box with tape, scissors,
crayons and glue (flour and water make
a good paste) and discover what can
transpire.
Junk art is not only practising reduce,
reuse and recycle principles but also
bringing out the best magical creativity
in any age.
Use a good art activity for Earth
Week and all year-round.
Earth Week runs April 13 to 28 with
the theme ‘In nature there is no waste’.
Earth Week is followed by National
Composting Awareness Week April 28
to May 4.

The housing market, as we all are aware, is
“HOT,HOT,HOT”, with prices rising almost daily. This will con-
tinue, until interest rates rise. The so called “Experts” are pre-
dicting a 1% to 1 1/2% increase this year. I personally feel that
rates, will increase in the 2% to 2 3/4% range, as the lenders’
“Greed Factor” will kick in. This will significantly slow down
the housing market or could even stall it completely.
If your mortgage is coming due, lock it for a long term. Consolidate you debts now, as the
rates are as good as they are going to get. Remember that a good consolidation can save thou-
sands of dollars in payments over a year. Most importantly, could save you from going into
arrears, and jeopardizing your all important credit rating.
WHAT CAN CENTRAL FUNDING DO FOR ME?
With over FORTY YEARS combined Brokerage experience, we will find you the best avail-
able rates and terms for your financial needs. Our primary goal is to meet your requirements rather
than meet the lenders. Fast Professional service, with prime First mortgages at least 1% below
posted market rates. Second, and third mortgages are available to 100% of value. Private mort-
gage funds are available for those clients that do not fit in the normal lending stream.
Consolidations have always been a speciality, with the average monthly savings in excess of $700
a month. Cottage financing is available at very competitive rates.
Let Central Funding Group be your “ONE STOP” Financial Centre.

BETTER LEARNING 2002
A Special section dedicated to educational institutions within your community.
Getting A Complete Education
By R.N. Whitehead Ph.D.
For the last 15 years, parents who
have wanted their children to enjoy every
possible opportunity to reach their full
potential in life, have been touring to
Oxford Learning Centres. Today, more
and more parents consider it a necessary
supplement to ensure a comprehensive
education. “Given the way school bud-
gets are being slashed these days, I just
don’t think an ‘average’ education is suf-
ficient for success in the world of the
future,” says Bob Strupat, father of an
Oxford student, in London.
Oxford co-founder Jan Benoit says.
“It’s just like arts and sports programs
that many students have always pursued
on their own. If my son showed an apti-
tude for music, I would enroll him in
music lessons. I would never expect the
school system to develop fully his musi-
cal potential. Given all the challenges the
school system faces today, it’s the same
with academic programs. It’s unrealistic
to think the school system can give any
child all the education he or she needs to
become a successful adult.”
Oxford follows its own curricu-
lum, based on its own research into how
children learn, to teach not just writing,
reading and arithmetic, but how to get
organized and think in a way that pro-
motes lifelong learning. They teach peo-
ple how to learn. “The real purpose of
education is to prepare children to
become successful adults,” says Benoit.
“We build confidence and self-esteem and
teach techniques that students will use for
the rest of their lives.”
The tools that Oxford provides its
students are how to solve problems, how
to concentrate, how to analyze, how to
think abstractly and how to integrate
information. These are the very tools that
are necessary for success no matter what
career a student chooses.
Individualized programs are
offered after regular school hours from
grade 1 to High School. These supple-
mental programs address the basics but
do not rely on memorization. Instead,
programs encourage students to truly
understand the material they are trying to
learn. This enriches the entire education
process. “Too many children just memo-
rize their way through school,” says
Benoit.
For older stu-
dents, Oxford has
developed a compre-
hensive success pro-
gram that helps them
understand challeng-
ing subjects, study
more efficiently and
avoid such common
problems as freezing
up on exams.
Oxford’s Little
Readers, the only
program of its kind,
is designed for three
to six year olds and
enriches their skills
in reading, writing,
music and move-
ment, and French.
“What I really
like about Oxford,”
Strupat adds. “Is that they
carefully assessed my son
before creating a custom pro-
gram to meet his unique
needs. I’ve seen remarkable
progress in the eight months
he has been taking the Oxford
program and I’m sure it’s
because they have tailored it
to him personally.”
And, Oxford doesn’t
work in a vacuum. Oxford
teachers work with parents,
the teacher in the child’s regu-
lar classroom, and other pro-
fessionals to ensure positive
results. Whether remedial or supplemen-
tal, after school or during the summer,
Oxford programs are effective. They
encourage responsibility, motivation,
achievement and excellence. For many
students, Oxford is where they discover
that learning can be fun. Oxford, com-
bined with a regular school program,
equals a complete education.
Call Oxford today at (905) 420-3141
to learn how they can help your child get
a more complete education.

Berton electrifies crowd at ‘Words in Whitby’ event
DURHAM ––At 82 years of

last Saturday when he took part
in ‘Words in Whitby: a Celebra-
tion of Authors.’
“The whole event was tremen-
dous,” says organizer Ruth Walk-
er, a Writers’ Circle of Durham
Region member.
“The comments we got back
–– we did a survey –– were very
positive but what really thrilled
people was Pierre Berton. A num-
ber of people said they were sur-
prised at how much they were af-
fected by him. He’s 82 and he
was electrifying!”
Mr. Berton was one of several
Canadian literary stars taking
part in the April 5 and 6 reading
series at Trafalgar Castle School.
Sponsored by the Whitby Public
Library and the Writers’ Circle,
organizers say the numbers are
not all in but tickets were enthu-
siastically snapped up for the
event.
Mrs. Walker estimates be-
tween 150 to 175 book lovers at-
tended the Friday evening ses-
sion, when much-honoured writer
Richard B. Wright read from his
Giller Prize and Governor Gener-
al’s Award-winning novel, ‘Clara
Callan.’
The Saturday luncheon featur-
ing comedian Dave Broadfoot
was sold out and even early that
morning, at least 90 readers
turned out to meet and hear the
words of authors Joan Barfoot
and Sandra Birdsell.
But it was the Saturday after-
noon event when Whitby novelist
Susanna Kearsley took centre
stage, followed by Canada’s best-
known popular historian, Mr.
Berton, that numbers began to
swell.
Ms. Kearsley read from her
second book, ‘Mariana’for which
she had won England’s Catherine
Cookson Fiction Prize. Mr.
Berton spoke from and about his
47th book, the best-selling
‘Marching as to War: Canada’s
Turbulent Years.’
“It was not just his reading but
his continued joy of writing,”
says Mrs. Walker of Berton’s ap-
pearance.
“He is so joyful of what he
does and he is incredibly passion-
ate about the waste of war.”
Updates on the successful
event will be regularly posted at:
www.wordinwhitby.ca where
readers are encouraged to make
suggestions for next year’s line-
up.
Don’t Suffer From Painful Feet, Heels or Legs Again
Living pain free is
the only way to live. But
many of us endure pain
when we don’t have too.
Why suffer from
painful feet, heels, ankles,
legs or back? Help is only
a phone call away.
Hundreds of people
across Durham have
sought help from the car-
ing professionals at
Durham Podiatry
Associates.
Located in Whitby at
the northeast corner of
Dundas St. and Thickson
Rd, Sheldon Freelan
D.P.M., Barry Noble
D.P.M. and Mark Bradley
D. Pod. M. have more
than 60 years of combined
experience helping
patients of all ages break
free of the pain that has
lowered their quality of
life.
“We focus on pro-
viding our patients with a
warm, friendly office envi-
ronment,” says Sheldon. “We
focus on giving relief to
those who suffer from foot
and foot-related ail-
ments.”
The podiatrists treat
problems such as corns,
callouses, ingrown nails,
hammertoes, warts, bunions
and heel spurs.
This can be done in a
variety of ways including
non-intrusive treatments
such as orthotics or in
some cases, when neces-
sary, out-patient surgery
under a local anaesthetic.
In the area of orthot-
ic, Sheldon points out that
they take a comprehen-
sive approach to design-
ing the proper orthotic.
It’s not something you just
buy off the shelf or have
fitted after a limited diag-
nosis.
They take a very
thorough approach
through a series of x-rays,
a foot cast while the
patient is lying down to
get a proper resting profile
and analysis of the
patient’s walking pattern.
When completed, an
orthotic is designed to
assist the foot in its proper
alignment with the goal of
eliminating pain and any
further problems.
“The simple fact is,
your feet should not
hurt,” says Sheldon. “If
they do then something
should be done before it
gets worse.”
It’s not age, shoes,
work, weight or activity
that causes most foot
problems, but inherited
structural weaknesses. If
left untreated, they will
lead to further complica-
tions and problems.
“Proper diagnosis
and preventative treat-
ment is of the utmost
importance to proper footcare,”
says Sheldon.

Why would a deaf person not
want to hear? After all, I’ve never
met a blind person who doesn’t
want to see. Or a paralyzed victim
who doesn’t want to walk. One
would think this matter would be as
clear as 2+2 = 4. But life is never
that simple. Some people who are
deaf are vehemently opposed to the
use of cochlear implants, an elec-
tronic device that introduces deaf
people to the hearing world. Are
they right?
Cochlear implant surgery is in
effect, another type of bypass
surgery. An electrical device is in-
serted into the ear which allows
sound to jump across the diseased
part of the organ. But it does not
cure deafness. Hearing is present
only when the implant is turned on.
But many deaf people claim
deafness is not a disability. Rather
it’s a gift which enables them to
have their own “culture.”
They also argue cochlear im-
plants are not all they’re cracked up
to be. Following the surgery patients
must undergo intensive therapy and
the end result is not the same as nor-
mal hearing.
They also cite cases in which pa-
tients have struggled to accept the
use of implants and never adjusted
to them. In the end they finally turn
them off for good and use sign lan-
guage. Lastly, they make a very im-
portant point. They say what is be-
tween the ears is more important
than what goes into the ears. These
days there’s more truth to that re-
mark than fiction. They are free of
today’s needless and stressful noise.
There is little doubt many deaf
adults are able to live happy and
productive lives with the use of sign
language. But what about the other
side of the coin?
I’ve talked to deaf patients who
have had the cochlear implant. They
say they can now hear birds singing,
listen to music,talk on the telephone
and hear the approach of an oncom-
ing car. It’s nothing short of a mira-
cle. They would not want to go back
to the non-hearing world.
One patient in particular im-
pressed me. John Humphrey is a
business lawyer at McMillan Binch
in Toronto. He lip-read his way
through law school. It wasn’t easy
as professors do not face a class all
the time. He considered continuing
life in the world of silence. But he
realized he was missing out on so
many things and finally decided on
implant surgery.
Now he has no hesitation recom-
mending it to deaf people. He says,
“The implant saved my life. It’s the
difference between night and day.
Now I can use the telephone, talk to
clients and not ask people to repeat
what’s been said. It expanded my
horizons and I feel totally liberated.”
But the challenge is great. Deaf
patients who want implant surgery
must be highly motivated. They
must be prepared to undergo exten-
sive post-operative training to adapt
to “implant hearing.”
I’m a great believer in freedom
of choice. So I have no trouble if
adults choose not to hear. But I think
where this issue gets a trifle dicey is
when children are born deaf. Who
truly knows what these children
would prefer later in life?
My daughter, who has worked
with the deaf says, “The best
proxy is the parent who has to
make all sorts of difficult choic-
es for children.”
Maybe she’s right. But if I’d
been born deaf, I’d hope my
parents would take advantage
of the benefits of the new sci-
ence. I don’t believe I’d be con-
tent to live in the isolation of si-
lence when I knew there was a
viable alternative in the world
of sound. And I’d want the
surgery done within the first
two years of life, the prime time
for this procedure.
Moreover, ours is a tough
world. The fewer the disabili-
ties, the better. Deaf people have
poor reading skills and a higher un-
employment rate.
Since I like to travel, the inabili-
ty to communicate would clinch my
decision. Having recently been ter-
ribly lost in a foreign country I
might still be there if I’d been able
to use sign language only. Although,
having to stay in that quaint little
town might not be so bad after all!

After Shedding 49 Lbs., Stacey Harrington Says …
“Hypnosis Put Me Back in Control!”
HYPNOSIS CENTRES
“Where Results Happen”
Positive Changes
My name is Stacey Harrington. I live with my
husband, Keith and our son, Bryce. We attend
Ascension Catholic Church. I am a homemaker and
a part-time bookkeeper.
This is my true story. I will tell you how I
dropped 49 pounds in five short months. And how I
made my marriage sizzle. I’m sharing my story
because I know that if you are reading this, you
may be feeling just as miserable and desperate as I
was only a year ago...
“So when’s your baby due?” my husband’s
uncle asked, staring at my bulging stomach.
“I’m not expecting,” I said, my cheeks burning
with shame.
When I got home, I stared at my reflection in
the mirror. Tears streamed down my cheeks. It was
true. I was that fat.
“I couldn’t stop eating...”
I had become overweight during my first year
of college. I gained the ‘Freshman 15.’ My weight
kept adding on from there. In desperation, I started
dieting. My weight went up and down like a yo-yo.
Glimmer of Hope
I was impressed with Positive Changes
Hypnosis right off the bat. I watched a video and
paged through two huge books of testimonials. I
felt a glimmer of hope. Choosing Positive Changes
Hypnosis was the best decision of my life. I lost my
weight at an average of 10 lbs. a month. 49 lbs. in
all. When I first started Positive Changes I was
stretching the seams on my size 16 jeans. I
recently bought my first pair of size 6’s. That’s
when I knew I had reached my goal. I cried tears of
joy!
The best compliment of all came from
my husband. One night he gazed into my
eyes and said, “Stacey, I think you’re the
sexiest woman alive.” The best part was
that I believed him. I actually felt sexy. Our passion
has been sizzling ever since.
Success Happens
I would say Positive Changes Hypnosis was the
smartest investment of my life. I’m saving money
every week because I no longer crave junk food
and fast food. Just a short year ago I never would
have believed it possible.
Don’t worry. They won’t pressure you. If they
don’t think hypnosis is right for you, they will tell you
so.
So call now. If you’re like me, it will be the best
decision of your life.
