Pedal power, and plenty of funds, ruled the day recently as 13 Pickering teams took part in a local Big Bike for Stroke event that raised $34,925. A similar event in Whitby attract- ed 16 teams and raised $42,753. All proceeds from the annual Big Bike rides support research by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Big Bike makes its way to Ajax Tuesday, June 25. For more in- formation, contact Susan Wills at 905-686-1521. Pickering brings in big bucks on big bike Waste strategy tops discussions with Durham staff BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —With the Keele Valley landfill in York Re- gion slated to close at the end of this year waste diversion is a hot topic throughout municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area. Pickering is no stranger to the subject and with the success of the City’s waste diversion pilot project in Amberlea, Pickering has posi- tioned itself as a leader in the field here in Durham Region. The pilot project, which is a three-stream cart-based program for the collection of garbage, recy- clables, and organic waste, has been extended through the end of December. However, expanding the pro- gram — which has achieved better than 50 per cent waste diversion from landfill since it began last November — city-wide seems to have both political and financial barriers in its way. Staff from the Durham Region Works Department paid a visit to the Pickering operations commit- tee this week to discuss the matter and presented City councillors and staff with a report on the state of waste management services in the City. Currently, the City is responsi- ble for its own garbage collection, but the Region must transfer and haul it, therefore the Region is solely responsible for where the City’s garbage goes. And, the Re- gion also holds the responsibility of collecting and processing recy- clables. It’s this arrangement Ward 1 Councillor Dave Ryan says is at the crux of the matter. He says it doesn’t matter how the City picks Show them the money Interchanges need provincial support now: Durham BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Regional politi- cians, tired of waiting for answers on exploding costs for Hwy. 401 in- terchanges here, want a provincial funding commitment by the end of June to make up over-runs. Durham council is asking the Province for a commitment by June 30 to SuperBuild funding or an al- ternate grant to compensate for cost escalations on the Lakeridge Road and Stevenson Road interchanges, planned for completion in the next couple of years. The Region entered a shared- cost agreement with the Province and the local municipalities on three interchange projects (one in Ajax is RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Catch me if you can PICKERING –– Timberwolves’quarterback David Priestman (12) bootlegs around the end as he outruns Chargers Luke Moyer (48) and Taylor Burns (39) during Ajax-Pickering Dolphins peewee house league football action.

See PICKERING page 2 See DURHAM page 5 P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 2, 2002 Pickering touts waste diversion success up residents’ garbage, it doesn’t matter whether they ask them to separate organic yard and food waste or recyclables, as long as the Region can just haul it all off to a landfill. He says because of current arrangements, waste di- version from landfill is a ball that’s entirely in the Region’s court. “The Region holds all the cards. We have no control over waste diversion,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you collect at a diversion rate of better than 50 per cent unless you dispose of it at the same rate. Disposal is the key, if they dispose of things at a rate better than 50 per cent then collection follows...It’s a red her- ring, it doesn’t matter what you do if after it’s collected it all goes to landfill.” But, is a high rate of waste di- version from landfill achievable? The Region’s report says it is. In fact, the report shows actual garbage makes up only 11 per cent of what’s being left on the curb in Pickering. The Region’s numbers indi- cate during 2001 the City of Pick- ering generated 22,000 tonnes of garbage, 6,100 tonnes of recy- clables, and 2,100 tonnes of yard waste. The Region says a waste di- version rate of 28 per cent was achieved. However, they also say region- al studies indicate 40 per cent of the waste is compostable, 31 per cent is paper or cardboard, and 18 per cent is plastic, metal or glass. That means only 11 per cent is garbage residue leaving 89 per cent that could avoid being buried in a landfill. But, the regional goal for waste diversion has always hov- ered around 50 per cent, a num- ber that exceeds the current 24 per cent rate in Pickering (not in- cluding Amberlea), but also one that leaves Coun. Ryan question- ing why the bar is set so low. “My first question is why is 50 per cent the target when 89 per cent can be achieved?” he asked. “The Region needs to establish a target then look at the most eco- nomical way of achieving it...the Region still hasn’t taken a firm stand on this...I think we should press regional works on this.” PICKERING from page 1 C&R PAVING INC.

Colleagues in shock following loss of ‘heart and soul’of Durham force BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––In a devastating blow to the force, Terry Ryan, president of the Durham Regional Police Associa- tion, was killed in a head-on crash with a suspected drunk driver in north Whit- by. The 55-year-old association leader and police constable, who “gave his heart and soul” to the service, died dur- ing surgery Friday morning. He leaves his wife, Carol, two sons, Kevin and Jamie, and three grandchil- dren. Flags were lowered to half-mast out- side police headquarters in Oshawa, while inside stations across Durham of- ficers of all ranks expressed shock. A visibly shaken Chief Kevin McAlpine, who visited the crash scene late Thursday, said he was deeply sad- dened. “We’re all really devastated. Our folks are trying to get the work done, just trying to get through the day,” said Chief McAlpine, his voice breaking. “He’s going to be a big loss.” Mr. Ryan was travelling north on Lakeridge Road, returning to his Oak- wood home after a police function in Pickering about 10:40 p.m., when “a suspected impaired driver crossed the centre line,” Chief McAlpine said. The 1996 Pontiac Transport van, which was southbound, collided with Mr. Ryan’s 1996 Toyota Camry, de- stroying both vehicles, police said. The driver of the van, a 37-year-old man from Georgetown, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Ajax and Pick- ering Health Centre, where he was ar- rested for impaired driving, said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. His injuries were not considered life threatening. He remained under police guard in hospital Friday and will face a charge of impaired driving causing death upon his release, Sgt. Malik said. In a twist, while police were at the scene investigating the collision, which occurred just south of Hwy. 7, an Ajax woman being spoken to as a “potential witness” was herself arrested for im- paired driving, Sgt. Malik said. He said investigation found she was travelling behind the van in a Pontiac Grand Prix and both were leaving a “so- cial function” at a local golf club. Mr. Ryan was air-lifted to Sunny- brook Health Sciences Centre, where he died during surgery five hours later. Colleagues described Mr. Ryan’s passion for policing as matched by few and said he was unwavering in support of the 900-plus uniform and civilian po- lice personnel he represented. “He fought tooth-and-nail for us. It’s absolutely devastating. He literally gave his heart and soul to the job for 30 years, and he’ll be sorely missed,” said Staff Sergeant Bruce Townley. Mr. Ryan was in his third term as Durham association president and was current chairman of the Police Associa- tion of Ontario. His leadership was widely respected across the country, said PAO President Bob Baltin. “The tragedy is compounded by the report that the driver of the other vehicle was arrested for impaired driving,” he said. An outspoken crime-fighting advo- cate, Mr. Ryan lobbied in the past for stiffer penalties for impaired driving, and quit drinking himself 25 years ago, friends said. Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson also expressed sorrow. “Terry stood behind the men and women of the Durham Regional Police Service and represented them passion- ately for many years,” he said. Mr. Ryan began his policing career in 1973 with the Pickering Police De- partment, which merged with other mu- nicipal forces in 1974. He was a Durham police association director for the past two decades, served as vice president and was first elected as presi- dent in 1993. In recent years, under his leadership, the association butted heads with police management, spearheading a vote of non-confidence in the police chief, lead- ing to calls for the chief and board members to resign. A bitter two-year contract dispute followed, leading to a settlement last summer. A police funeral with full honours is being planned for Wednesday.

The Canadian Institute of Planners honoured the re- gions of Durham, York, and Peel at a ceremony in British Columbia May 28. The award was for the ‘Innovations’ category, for co-operating with the Province’s ‘Oak Ridges Moraine: Proposals for the Protection and management of a unique landscape.’ “This is a very prestigious award, and all who contributed should be very proud. Our ef- forts in planning for the Oak Ridges Moraine are taken very se- riously by the Province and are well-respected,” said Durham Region Chair- man Roger Anderson. The strategy, built on the regional Official Plan poli- cies, changed areas such as ground water management, natural heritage data man- agement, policy develop- ment, land securement, a vi- sion for the moraine and ef- fective growth management. The Oak Ridges Moraine, which stretches 160 kilome- tres from the Niagara Escarp- ment to the Trent River, acts as the drainage basin be- tween Lake Ontario and Lake Simcoe and the Kawartha lakes. It is a prime source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands of Ontarians.

Under the agreement,the Province is to pay for 67 per cent of the interchange costs while the Region is on the hook for 22 per cent and the area municipali- ty for 11 per cent. Originally, the cost to the Region was about $17 million. Three years later, the price tag estimate is up to $29 million and the Province, to date, has not been able to tell anyone why. In March, council tabled a motion by Pickering Councillor Mark Holland calling for the Region to cancel the deal unless the Province covers costs above the original agreement. Council agreed to wait until after a meeting between Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and then Minister of Transportation Brad Clark that was expected to take place in early April. But a new premier and a cabinet shuffle delayed meetings between the Region and ministry until earlier this week. “Ministers (Janet) Ecker and (Norm) Sterling agreed they would be able to come back with a final proposal from the Province in the next 30 days,” Mr. Anderson said Wednesday during a committee of the whole meeting. He asked council to wait until July to make a decision on whether to end the inter- change agreements. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish suggested the Region has been waiting long enough. “If council defers this motion again after months of negotiation... it’s the old story you blinked and they’re not going to give you anything.” But Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle said political realities have to be taken into consideration, given the recent leadership campaign and subsequent cabinet shuffle. “There are new players at the table. It behooves us to give them some time,” he said. At the senior ministry staff level, there have been discussions in the past week, said Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia- mond, who supported tabling the mo- tion. She said the se- nior staff members were unaware of the concerns prior to last week. The over-runs are also a great concern for the Province, which is footing two-thirds of the bill, she pointed out, adding local MPPs are working diligently to at- tempt to resolve the issue. Council tabled a decision on whether to remain in the interchange agreement until July 10 by which time it will have a legal opinion on its options.

The youths gathering in that area are not only damaging the wall, which will need repairs at taxpayers’ expense at a later date, but they are also creating a hazard to the elderly who use the pave- ment on a regular basis to get to and from the medical complex. Add in their abuse of the adjacent ground where plant life is impossible and the rubbish they leave and you have something less than worthy for consider- ation of a ‘fun’ youth picture in your newspaper.

Created from scratch eight years ago to fill a funding hole in the community, the foundation has managed to raise an impressive $700,000 during that time with another $300,000 in promised gifts. The way community foundations work is that the principal is not touched but added to annually. Only annual interest accrued on the principal is used for payment toward community projects. Last year, the foundation was able to use $25,000 in interest to help out wor- thy causes. While that may seem insignificant in a region with more than 500,000 people, the key is to think in terms of the future. As Durham grows, so will the foundation. It’s not hard to imagine contributions multiplying as the principal climbs well into the millions. While the Community Foundation of Durham Region is a rela- tive newcomer as such charities go, it has hundreds of examples to follow throughout North America. Some foundations have principal amounts in the hundreds of millions and provide millions of dollars annually to projects that don’t qualify for grants from other sources. That’s the long-term plan here. As foundation executive director Janet Georgieff said, “think of us as a savings account for the community; we’re there to make sure there’s always money there for the community.” Of course, the foundation has plenty of competition for the char- ity dollar. Hospital foundations are extremely active working to se- cure money through lotteries and other means for their worthwhile, vital causes. Well-organized ‘disease’charities — the Canadian Can- cer Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, the Lung Association just to name three — often go door-to-door and are sup- ported by lavish advertising campaigns. They receive generous do- nations and deservedly so. It’s just that there is only so much money to go around making it tough for the Community Foundation of Durham Region. The foundation doesn’t solicit or receive any government fund- ing, thereby retaining complete control of how it runs its operations and where its money goes. Ms. Georgieff said the foundation works with donors to figure out how and where to best put the funds to use. Those interested in contributing can call 1-888-230-0333 or check out the foundation’s Web site at www.cfdr.on.ca. The real beauty of the Community Foundation of Durham Re- gion is its intensely local focus. To all those who have ever given and complained they don’t know where their money goes, there is no question here. It goes to friends and neighbours, making the foun- dation a clearcut example of the old saying, ‘charity begins at home.’ Foundation offers interesting potential As group continues to grow, more area groups, organizations will benefit LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words.

The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins, which has administered the pigskin pursuits of youth in the area for the past 29 years, has enjoyed strong growth in the past two. Dolphins’ president Jeff Priestman says the increase in players has been unprecedented. To wit, the Dolphins have doubled in size over the past two seasons to almost 500 kids. But, the big numbers are no sur- prise to Priestman, as football is a comparative bargain when you con- sider the registration costs against what is charged in other minor sports. “Our board of directors has active- ly sold the sport within the two com- munities the past couple of years,” says Priestman, who has led the club for the past two years. “We charge $140 (per player) to play and we pro- vide all the equipment. We also don’t deny anyone the chance to play.” The increased interest, says Priest- man, has enabled the Dolphins to offer football to more and older play- ers. This year marks the beginning of a ‘collegiate’level for players 17 to 19 years of age. The Dolphins will com- pete with teams from Burlington, North York, Etobicoke, Beeton and Markham in the Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL). The Dolphins have also added one new team to each of its tyke, atom and peewee house league programs, bringing the total number of clubs to five in each division. House league play is operating at Pickering High School and Denis O’Connor fields in Ajax and at Beverley Morgan Park in Pickering until mid-July. For the second year, the Dolphins have also fielded a bantam rep team in COMFL this summer, and the team’s hoping to repeat as league champions again this season. The club got the season off on the right cleat a week ago by clobbering the visiting Beeton Express 50-0. From a competitive standpoint, the Dolphins not only play the game — but play to win, too. The squad won the COMFL bantam title last year, and have won 13 Ontario titles at other age groups. And, where there’s football, there are usually cheerleaders. And, the Dolphins have also helped foster a cheerleading squad for those seven to 14 years of age.

Gary Down, the cam- paign’s education commit- tee chairman, and campaign director Andrea Russell spoke to Durham Catholic District School Board trustees at the May 22 meet- ing, discussing the cam- paign for a Regional Cancer Centre at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. Ms. Russell said a study showed more than 2,000 cancer patients are going outside the re- gion for treat- ment. School board employees are taking part in a payroll-deduc- tion plan to raise money for the centre, making a one- or two-year pledge, she said. Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey said there’s a percep- tion in the com- munity that the money raised will help pay for the Oshawa hospital’s new front entrance and cafeteria. Ms. Russell said the money raised in the cam- paign “is specifically for the cancer centre”. She ex- plained news of the cancer centre came out while there was a campaign under way at the hospital, leading to the confusion. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin, a cancer sur- vivor, said she had to drive to Toronto for treatment and the Oshawa facility would be “a godsend” for local people. General Motors No. 2 assembly operation judged tops in quality DURHAM ––Celebrations are being planned for General Motors of Canada’s No. 2 car plant, which scored an impressive first place in the 2002 J.D. Power and Associates initial quality study. The rating is for all auto- mobile manufacturing plants in North America. “It’s a huge win,” said GM spokesman Stew Low. “It’s ab- solutely awesome. And it’s a little bit of a surprise.” While plant officials and workers knew they’d improved quality over the past year, closely monitoring monthly J.D. Power surveys, they weren’t expecting to place first, Mr. Low said. “Everyone knew the plant was doing really well. They’re just absolutely thrilled.” The plant, which has over the past two years taken more than its share of shutdowns, wins J. D. Powers’ Gold Plant Quality Award. One of the two cars pro- duced there, the Buick Century, took first place in quality in the premium mid-size segment. Buick Century sales in Canada are up over 24 per cent for the calendar year to date. Mr. Low said no shutdowns are planned in the next while and overtime might be necessary as people looking for new cars learn about the two quality awards. The plant is scheduled to get a third car, rumoured to be the Grand Prix, in 2003. The Buick Regal is also built at Plant No. 2. The J.D. Powers study is based on surveys completed by new car owners in the first few months after purchases were made. Buzz Hargrove, Canadian Auto Workers national president said, “CAW members in Oshawa work hard each day pro- ducing high-quality ve- hicles and they deserve enormous credit for their part in helping GM win this im- portant award. Congratulations.” Michael Grimaldi, president of GM Canada, said the win is significant for the company and the Oshawa plants. “All GM Canada employees and the CAW are focused on pro- ducing top-quality products for our customers,” he said. “I want to congratulate them and the en- tire No. 2 plant team on earning the Gold Plant Quality Award. It is very gratifying to know that the buyers of our cars and trucks are telling us through J.D. Power that they recognize our tremendous improvements in quality.” During a recent media tour of the GM complex in Oshawa, Mr. Grimaldi and officials at the truck and two car plants stressed the in- creased emphasis on quality, showing reporters the number of measures built into the assembly lines to handle quality control.

ADVERTISEMENT Grand OpeningGrand Opening My name is Carol Christian. I am retired. I was overweight my entire life – nearly 70 years. When every diet failed me, I gave up. Then I discovered a surprising weight loss secret – that wasn’t a diet – and melted off 69 pounds of unsightly fat. My dress size plunged from a matronly 2X to a slender 14 in only nine months. My friends were stunned! If a 70–year-old retiree can do it, so can you! Here’s how... Dismal Days of Dieting I tried every weight loss trick I could find. I struggled through fad diets, national diet pro- grams, Dr. Atkins, and the grape- fruit diet. I once even tried a Martini & Whipped Cream Diet! It was ridiculous. I would either have no success or the weight would come right back on. Dieting was a con- stant battle. My weight was up and down like a yo-yo. I finally realized that, at my age, this was not smart! I was completely dis- couraged. My Day of Reckoning When I retired, I stopped fighting my weight and let the pounds mount up until I woke one morning to the horrifying realiza- tion that I was eating myself to death. My friend had sent me a photo from my daughter’s wed- ding. I looked at the picture and shuddered. I was shocked to see how large I had become. Yet I simply could not face another day of weighing and counting every morsel I ate. That was the day I saw the Positive Changes Hypnosis advertisement in the morning paper. I clipped the phone number, but postponed calling. I repeated this absurd per- formance for two more ads. Finally, I told myself, ‘Do it, Carol, it’s your last chance.’ I don’t know what I was expecting from hypnotism. I con- fess that I was skeptical. Much to my surprise, the Positive Changes Center was professional and pleasant. The staff was happy and reassuring and my free screening was fascinating. My evaluator made me feel at ease right away. I even got a demonstration of an amazing light and sound machine that would help me achieve hyp- nosis. Everything was explained and I never felt pressured. What a positive experience! Even the fee was reasonable. I decided that I was worth it. 18 Pounds in Two Months! People are skeptical when they hear about hypno- sis. I was even a little afraid of it. I had an image of a stage show and people making fools of themselves. That is just not how hypnosis works at all. When I am hypnotized, I feel as if my body has gone to sleep, but my brain is focused on the positive suggestions I am hearing. It’s relaxing, enjoyable, and I always feel in control. Part of my problem was that I was on the see – food diet – I’d see food and I’d eat it! Suddenly I could walk past food and not even care. That was real progress for me. There was once a time when I’d continue to eat long after I was stuffed simply because of taste. Hypnosis ended all that. My crav- ings, binges and poor eating habits are a thing of the past. I haven’t overeaten since I started the pro- gram. I have learned to substitute the fattening chips and nuts with healthy choices, or I simply eat less of them. I cook healthier and it’s fun. I am drinking water and enjoying it. Friends ask me what I’m ‘allowed’on my diet. I say that it isn’t a ‘diet,’it’s a new way of eating. I can eat anything I want. It’s just that what I want has changed. That’s why I never feel deprived. The New Me! What a delight when my pant size is 6 inches smaller! I have even dug some cloth- ing out of my closet that had never fit me. What fun! I can’t wait to buy a whole new wardrobe. Do What I Did... Most slender people don’t realize how miserable being overweight can be. When I think of all those years when I hid within my loose clothes, could barely bend over and tie my shoes, and hid from mirrors that would reveal the truth. Best of all, I am confident that I will keep my weight off per- manently because hypnosis makes it so easy! That’s why I recom- mend Positive Changes Hypnosis to people all the time. So if your weight is causing you undue anguish, I can’t urge you enough to call Positive Changes Hypnosis. Schedule your free screening appointment. You will meet positive, caring people and they’ll bend over backwards to help you. They’ll explain hyp- nosis in detail and determine if it’s the right choice for you. If it isn’t, they’ll tell you so. Best of all, the screening is free of charge and I’ve never seen them pressure anyone. Positive Changes Hypnosis helped me shed 69 lbs.

An earwig crawls up your leg after a refreshing swim. A wasp sting takes away the enjoyment of smelling your freshly-cut grass. An ant invades your mouth-water- ing sandwich. You wake up to a spider bite and at the same time can’t stop scratching last night’s mosquito attack. You come home to a kingdom of ladybugs and the buzzing flies are driving you in- sane. Although there is no foolproof way to keep insects off your lawn and out of your home, there are some precautions homeowners can take to stop the tiny invaders. Earwigs have been rumoured to crawl into the ears of sleeping peo- ple. Although the rumour is said to be just that, these critters are about two centimetres long, brown and have pinchers on their behinds. They can become a major nuisance inside and outside the home. “They might find their way into food, clothing, or between bed covers,” says Carla Yewchuk, in- formation officer with Health Canada’s Pest Management Regu- latory Agency. She suggests raking leaves, grass and other organic material is an effective way to limit vast num- bers from invading. “Try and keep as little shrub- bery around the house as possible because they like to eat a lot of dead vegetation,” says Gord Riley, owner of Sky Pest Control Limited in Oshawa. During the day, earwigs rest in shaded places, but can become very visible at night. “When it rains they don’t want to drown, and if it’s hot and humid to avoid the heat, they’ll escape in- side,” he adds. “In the meantime, cleaning up outside of the house and caulking along the windows; that’s the best safeguard (to keep them out).” The Pest Management Regula- tory Agency has a document titled ‘Tips to Rid Your House of Insects and Rodents.’ It suggests getting rid of earwigs by using a rolled-up newspaper, cardboard or a short piece of garden hose and attracting earwigs with peanut butter, veg- etable or fish oil. From there, putting the trap in a bucket with water and soap will kill them. Or homeowners can wait until the earwig finds its way into a spi- der web. Spiders can be a homeowners’ best friend or worst enemy, says Terry Barrett, owner of the Bug Man in Cobourg which also ser- vices Durham. “Some people claim they’re a good insect and every insect has its purpose, but spiders become a pest when the volume grows and they get in the way,” he says, adding spider droppings can stain siding. “In general, spiders are going to be worst along waterfront areas be- cause you get more insect species that provide a food source. “Spiders are attracted by any structure that provides them a hid- ing spot and a spot where they can spin a web. They often set up on high corners and near night lights; at night when those are on, there’s a tremendous draw to flying in- sects,” says Mr. Barrett. The Pest Management Regula- tory Agency suggests controlling spiders by placing outdoor lights away from front doors and closing blinds at night or use a broom to knock webs down. Wasps can be more than a nui- sance; they can be dangerous be- cause many people are allergic to their stingers. It looks like a big bee and is the insect people get stung by fre- quently because it has nests on the ground. When residents cut their lawns, they often don’t see the nest and out come the aggressive wasps. “If the nest is threatened, they remove what they can and relo- cate. All efforts are toward the queen being the last survivor,” says Mr. Barrett. “There’s not much you can do to prevent them. They’re attracted to spilled sweets and liquids.” If the nest needs to be removed, the safest way is calling a profes- sional, suggests the Pest Manage- ment Regulatory Agency. Although a wasp can be a nui- sance and a threat to people, it doesn’t cause structural damage, like a carpenter ant. “Carpenter ants are typically larger black ants. They generally infest wood and that puts homes or any structure at risk,” says David Sanderson, owner of Reliable Ex- terminators in Pickering. “They don’t eat it, they just nest in it, but it hollows out the wood.... A car- penter ant’s job in nature is to take away dead wood and hollow it out so other bugs can get in to decom- pose it.” One thing to watch for are tree limbs overhanging or rubbing a structure, which could easily at- tract the ants. Mr. Sanderson says one mistake people make is stack- ing wood by their house, usually to let it dry. The dampness of the wood attracts ants and can lead them into a house. Once inside, they’ll look for water damage that has occurred from a leaking roof. “If the place is made of wooden beams opposed to steal beams, that’s a main issue: those beams are holding up your house,” he said. Another common ant always trying to share your lunch is a tiny light brown one that causes the lit- tle holes of dirt to pile up in a dri- veway: pavement ants. “Wherever you drop some- thing, they’re there,” says Mr. Sanderson. “They have a tendency to live under concrete or under a driveway because they like to get heat from those things. They just come in, gather food and then go back to the nest.” e says there are a couple of so- lutions to stop the thievery: give bait to kill them slowly, or residual spray and kill the nest. Many tips are offered to solve the ant problem from the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. Seal off the ant’s entry point into a home. Use soapy water to wipe ants up with and to erase the odour they leave behind for other ants to follow. Residents can repel ants by putting tomato or walnut leaves over the nest. Suggestions for preventing car- penter ants include removing old rotting wood such as tree stumps, finding and removing infested wood and, because ants belong to colonies, destroy the main nest to better keep them out. A newer annoyance in homes is the ladybug. “It’s a little epidemic that’s been happening,” says John Dalziel, owner of Apple Pest Man- agement in Whitby. “They’ve clus- tered over winter and when they get the heat they come out and bust right out. We’ve already treated quite a few homes.” His advice to homeowners is to do your best to keep them out of the home by sealing cracks, mak- ing sure screens are up to standard, and keeping doors and windows closed. “They’re just a nuisance be- cause they’re in clusters, flying around and landing, but they don’t do structural damage,” says Mr. Dalziel. “Hopefully, it won’t last more than a year.” He adds the only advice he can provide is to keep possible en- trances well-sealed and call a pest control agency if it’s too bother- some. The common house fly can be the biggest irritation in or out of a home. Unfortunately, there’s not much residents can do to keep them away besides using fly swat- ters and sticky paper. “It’s all common sense stuff for house flies - clean organic waste from the kitchen and don’t leave damp waste in garbage cans,” adds Ms. Yewchuk, especially if garbage has yeast or sugar in it, such as beer and pop cans. Mosquitoes again can be dif- ficult to control but destroying their breeding grounds can help. Stagnant water is where the bloodsucking females like to lay 100-400 eggs at a time. The eggs hatch a day later and because the en- tire lifecycle of mosquitoes is just 10 days, they lay fast. Ms. Yewchuk says the insects can breed in any water that has been sitting for seven to 10 days, such as puddles, birdbaths, and pool covers. “Cover garbage and get rid of it,” she advises. “It’s the same idea, if it’s wet it will attract mosquitoes as breeding sites. If you eliminate the sites to breed, it should control them.” Although some plants have been said to repel the insect, she says there is no scientific evidence. Ms. Yewchuck says if people are going to use insecticides read the label and make sure it is suit- able for their needs. Follow the in- structions carefully. All the pesticide control agen- cies say the best precaution is keeping a clean house or yard and sealing off any possible entry points. Mr. Barrett says if homeowners feel a bug problem is too much for them to handle with common do- mestic pesticides usually found in hardware stores, contact a pest control agency. If a professional is required, he said to make sure to ask lots of questions: make sure the profes- sional is licensed, ask how long they have been in the business, what kind of pesticide is being used, and what are the possible side effects.

A massage technique that has shown promise in treating this condition is now under scrutiny by a team of Hamilton, Ont. researchers. Dr. Ian Dayes, of McMaster Univer- sity and the Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre, will receive $210,000 over the next two years from the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Initiative to conduct a randomized trial of the tech- nique known as “decongestive lymphat- ic therapy.” “Lymphedema is a serious complica- tion of breast-cancer therapy, resulting in poor arm function, discomfort and psychological stress,” says Dr. Dayes, a radiation oncologist. “Although it af- fects as many as 15 per cent of patients, most physicians have little training in its management and patients often seek treatment on their own initiative.” The study will compare the new ther- apy, which combines the massage tech- nique with daily compression bandag- ing, exercise and skin care, with the standard treatment — application of an elastic sleeve. “Cohort studies suggest considerable benefit from decongestive therapy, but few clinical trials have been performed,” Dr. Dayes says. His study will involve 100 women at Cancer Care Ontario cen- tres. YOUNG We’re “hear” to help!

The Canadian actress, once mar- ried to actor Donald Sutherland and mother of Kiefer, is also the daugh- ter of legendary Saskatchewan pre- mier Tommy Douglas, the late NDP leader who is credited with institut- ing the first public medicare system in Canada. And it was to sing the praises and warn against the erosion of medicare that Ms. Douglas, of the Canadian Health Coalition, spoke at Whitby’s Westminister United Church May 27. Ms. Douglas said an ever-increas- ing rate of health-care privatization is starting to erode the principles and security of Canada’s universal health care system enshrined in law several decades ago. “We can’t afford to pay for a pri- vatized system, nor do we want to,” Ms. Douglas said during her pas- sionate speech. She’s certain if Canada stays on the path it’s currently on, an Ameri- can style privatized health-care sys- tem is inevitable. “This isn’t a matter of if we will lose (public health care), but when we will lose it.” Privatized health care is already prominent in Canada, Ms. Douglas said. “Most people have no idea 30 per cent of our health system has al- ready been privatized.” She added those who believe two- tier health care will help stem de- mand for services like radiation treatment and MRIs, will see the public system ultimately hurt. She cited the example of a for-profit ra- diation clinic set up in Sunnybrook Hospital after 3,000 patients were sent to Buffalo for treatment, even though Sunnybrook staff were will- ing to put in the extra time to handle the huge numbers in the public sys- tem. “Therapists said they’d work the extra hours, but (Ontario Minister of Health Tony Clement) decided Ontario was- n’t going to take that route.” A year later, $4 million was given to establish a private clin- ic, with no discussion with the public on any alternatives, Ms. Douglas said. “This sets a precedent for pri- vate clinics in our hospitals.” Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, she said, once a company establishes itself in a country, similar companies must be allowed to come in to com- pete on a fair basis. “(Private clinics) can come from anywhere in the world, and we won’t be able to stop them. This is how private, for-profit health care starts eating away at the system.” She said the Romanow Com- mission, which is discussing the future of health care in Canada and is headed up by former Saskatchewan premier Roy Ro- manow, is one of the last hopes Canada has of stopping this pri- vatization. Ms. Douglas urged people to let Mr. Romanow know how they feel. The commission is due to present its report to the federal government by the end of the year. Ms. Douglas called on every- one who wants to see health care stay public to get involved by making their voices heard and to find out what’s going on. She encouraged people to get togeth- er more often to discuss health care and write to politicians. “We don’t know what’s going on, but it isn’t that hard to find out. We have to keep holding meetings and rallying,” Ms. Douglas said. “Talk to politi- cians, they all have phone num- bers, they all have addresses. They have to be made responsi- ble for what is happening to health care.” love the skin you’re in™provitalIT’S NOT JUST ABOUT LOOKING YOUNGER.

Thanks to all who vol- unteered their time and tal- ent. 1st Annual Bazaar a Huge Success!! Why do Pat Quinn, Mike Harris and other celebrities do it? I refer to recent pho- tos, one of Mike Harris, for- mer Premier of Ontario, smoking a stogie on the golf course. Another of a multi- millionaire sports celebrity lighting up after winning a championship. The latest was a front-page picture in a Toronto paper of Pat Quinn, coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team, smoking a stogie during the NHL playoffs. This sends the wrong message to young fans. Celebrities are not lighting up for victory. They’re lighting up for death. What an ironic situation! In the same newspaper on the previous day in the sports section, mention was made Quinn had taken the day off. Not to play golf, but to have his heart monitored as he had had trouble breathing. Yet, the next day, he’s smoking a stogie! Surely, someone should have the courage to tell him to see a psychiatrist. Several years ago a report in the ‘Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association’de- bunked the popular myth cigar smoking is a safe alter- native to cigarettes. Re- searchers showed a single stogie contains as much nicotine as a pack of ciga- rettes. Moreover, cigar smoke is more carcinogenic, contain- ing over 60 known cancer- producing agents. And it consists of more ammonia, tar and the lethal gas, carbon monoxide. You don’t have to travel on a California freeway to suffer the effects of this poi- son. The level of carbon monoxide in many homes reaches the amount of some jam-packed California roads. The reason? A stogie emits 20 times the amount of carbon monoxide gas as a single cigarette. One won- ders how many deaths on the highway occur from this sleep-producing poison. Most cigarette smokers understand their addiction causes lung cancer. Yet only 8.7 per cent of stogie smok- ers realize their habit results in malignancy. Yet cigars caused the deaths of Babe Ruth, Sig- mund Freud and General Ulysses S. Grant. Some stud- ies claim cigar smoke in- creases the risk of oral can- cers by four to 10 times. The blunt fact is smoking kills ‘big time.’ The World Health organization esti- mates every year smoking kills four million people. It will be 10 million by 2030. Smoking also kills early. Half of those who die from smoking leave this planet in middle age, losing 20 years of productive life. The grim fact is 40 per cent of smokers die of cancer. But, it’s hard to convince youth of these dangers when they see Quinn chomping on his sto- gie. It’s ironic cigarette manu- facturers are now forced to place warning labels on cig- arette packages. But cigar makers are not subject to the same regulations. This con- veys the impression cigars do not involve health risks, a very dangerous assumption. More and more women are also smoking stogies. That means they too are dying from lung cancer. Ma- lignancy of the lung has in- creased to the point where it now rivals breast cancer as a cause of death. What a way to attain equality with men! Do you know what would happen if tobacco was in- vented today? There’s not one chance in a million it would be approved by any health agency. The ironies of smoking are legion. For instance, everyone agrees prevention is better than cure. Many also complain millions of dollars have been spent on cancer research and still no cure. Yet when provided with the means to prevent cancer by tossing tobacco away, smokers become glassy-eyed and ignore it. A few years ago Julie An- drews and other screen stars appeared on posters smoking stogies. Using famous peo- ple to endorse products is not a new advertising ploy. In the past, it conveyed an image of wealth, power and luxury. But what a pity the message also promotes death. There is no single way to stop this senseless loss of life. But it would help if high-profile people stopped sending the wrong image to young people.

Klein, B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist-Foot Specialist Travelling by Air?.....Work Those Legs and Feet Dear Readers: The next time you are on a n airplane and you begin com- plaining about the food, the delays in your flight or lost luggage, remember none of these will hurt you. But sitting in a cramped seat for extended periods of times can cause blood clots to devel- op. These medically are known as deep vein thrornbosis (DVT). This potential problem, sometimes called “economy class syndrome”, has been in the news of last after a 28 year old traveling from australia to London died. An autopsy later confirmed that she died as a result of DVT. Most of only think of blood clots as occurring in older, or those with pre-existing health concerns, but the death of this young lady shows that the elderly are not the only potential victims of DVT. Although the term economy class syndrome infers that the problem occurs only with air travel, individuals seated in movie theatres, cars and other vehicles and even those seated in business class may be at risk. It can also happen to patients bed ridden in hospitals. Immobility, and not the environments is the greatest factor leading to DVT. Plane travel, however does not put the passenger in very con- fined surroundings, especially in win- dow or middle seats. The space between the seats has also decreased over the years making it difficult to stretch. Medical studies have not defini- tively found a link between air travel and DVT. One study found no correla- tion at all, while another said that the average healthy person would need some other underlying factors. One of the most famous individuals to devel- op DVT while trav- elling by air was American vice- president Dan Quayle, when in 1994 a leg clot trav- eled to his lung. Most of us need not worry about DVT, as flight related cases are very rare. Sign and symptoms of DVT are pain, warmth, and /or swelling of the legs. Shortness of breath may also be present. People who think they are at risk should consult their family physi- cian before travel- ling. Medical con- ditions that may affect passengers are previous episodes of leg clots, previous leg or pelvic surgery, leg injury, varicosi- ties or pregnancy. Those who smoke take birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy as well as those with heart disease or dia- betes have increased susceptibility to long periods of immobility. Lastly, the overweight, elderly and very tall pas- sengers will find themselves more confined by cramped seating. Any amount of immobility is not healthy. Sitting for long periods of time without contracting your leg muscles can cause the pooling of blood in the deep veins leading to DVT. Walking on the plane every hour is the best way to prevent clot, even if it means climbing over the passen- ger beside you. Avoid placing your carry-on bags under the seat in front of you so you can stretch your legs out more easily. While sitting, flex your ankles up and down as if you were step- ping on the accel- erator. Repeat this 20 times every couple of hours. Another exercise is to clinch your toes and hold for three seconds at a time. This will aid in contracting your calf muscles.

Speak to your family physician about taking aspirin before flying to help to keep blood thinner. Air on a plane has less humidity. This can lead to dehydra- tion, thickening the blood and making it more prone to clots. Drinking an 8 ounce glass of water every two hours will help prevent blood from stagnat- ing. When booking seats on an airplane, always choose those with the greatest amount of leg room. Ask for the seats on an exit row, the bulkhead or on the aisle. Remember, immobility is one of the greatest causes of DVT, whether you care in a hospital bed, sitting in the theatre of fly- ing on an airplane.

Sunset shot was a snap as boy’s picture chosen best in show AJAX —It wasn’t his camera, but Joshua Gladney did take the picture judged best in show at the 2002 Ajax: My hometown photo contest. Joshua, 11, was taking pictures at the Duffins Creek marsh with his mother when his camera broke. So, he borrowed his mom’s and snapped ‘Swim in the sunset’. The picture shows a lone duck al- most silhouetted by sunlight reflect- ing on water. The contest, presented by the Ajax Cultural Arts Advisory Committee, attracted 140 entries in child, youth and adult categories. Judging were Toronto Star photo editor Wanda Goodwin, Eric Dumi- gan, a certified photographic consul- tant and lab supervisor at Black’s Su- perstore at the Durham Centre, and Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser managing editor Steve Houston,. Ms. Goodwin said Joshua’s photo was “a surprise, a lovely image by a budding young photographer. Nicely lit, well-composed, a well-seen image.” It was “a hands-down winner with the judges”, she added. For winning, Joshua received a new Pentax SLR package, which in- cludes a camera, a 28-80 mm lens, battery and gadget bag, along with a Black’s ‘memories’ club card, two rolls of film and processing, and a one-year subscription to Photo Life Magazine. “The quality of pictures entered was quite impressive, making our judges’ decisions very difficult,” Di- anne Horvath, contest co-ordinator and fine art photographer, said at the recent awards ceremony. “If you entered this year’s contest but were not among our winners, don’t be discouraged. The ‘perfect photo’ is subjective. “Different judges may have picked different winners.” The Ajax-Pickering News Adver- tiser, Black’s Superstore, Pentax, Canon, Lowepro, Optex, Photo Life Magazine, Tasco and Velbon spon- sored the contest. In the adult category, first went to Russell Daigle for ‘Indian corn’, while second went to James Butler for ‘To the park please!’ and third went to Susan Misiewicz for ‘Bridge at Duffins’. Elizabeth Tyrrell swept the youth category, winning first with ‘Oops!’, second with ‘Pebbles’ and third with ‘Waterfront place’. In the children’s category, Saman- tha Tyrrell was first with ‘Bedtime’, while Tabitha Redderop was second with ‘Fun in the rain’, and Christo- pher Gladney was third with ‘In the forest’.

The Cougars — in their first season of competition in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) boys’ base- ball — booked their ticket to the semifi- nals after an exciting 2-1 victory over the Father Leo J. Austin Catholic High School Wildcats in quarter-final action at Iroquois Park in Whitby Thursday. The victory prompted a celebration among the players representing the newly-opened north Ajax school. “We were ecstatic, absolutely ecstat- ic,” said Cougars’ co-coach Chad McPherson of his charges’ success in their inaugural ball playoff tilt. The hero for the Cougars was Mike Dahiroc, who slammed a two-run home run in the top of the fifth inning with the game locked in a scoreless draw. Matt D’Souza also trotted home on the play. Leo Austin was able to bust up the shutout bid of Cougars pitcher Matt Firth with a run late in the contest. Firth earned the win on the mound with a complete-game effort. En route to the victory, Firth registered six strikeouts. Also recording hits in the contest for the Cougars were Willie Neadles with a ground-rule double, and Remi Harron and Chris Papalia, who each singled. The Cougars will move on to meet the Pickering High School Trojans in the semifinal contest to be played Monday morning at the Port Hope fairgrounds and hosted by the Trinity College School Bears, a Port Hope private school that’s a new addition to the LOSSA boys’ base- ball league this season. The other semifi- nal is reported to pit Bowmanville High School against Courtice High School at 11 a.m. in Port Hope. The final is at 3 p.m. McPherson says it has been an in- credible run for his Cougars in LOSSA play. He expected the season to be a building and a learning year for his charges, but the year has been much more than that. “To tell you the truth, we were just expecting to build the team for next year,” says McPherson. “These guys have a lot of heart and they’re proud to be able to make a name for their new school.” McPherson admits beating the Pick- ering Trojans in the semifinals will be a tall order for his team, but he’s uncon- cerned with taking the underdog tag into the contest. “It doesn’t much concern us to be un- derdogs. I’m confident that we should be successful. If the guys play with half as much heart as we did yesterday (Thurs- day against Leo Austin), then we’ll be OK.” A/P PAGE 20 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 2, 2002 Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 2, 2002 A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Lisa Barbieri, of Ajax, and Michael Storto, of Pickering, will fly to Italy to compete in an in- ternational youth meet in Tuscany. They’re part of a Canadian contingent of Italian heritage sponsored by the Toronto-based Italian Heritage Club. Both swimmers are members of the Pickering Swim Club. Local swimmers heading for Italian meet BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor DURHAM —Two area swimmers will head overseas to compete at an international meet, while learning some- thing of their Italian roots, too. Pickering Swim Club ath- letes Michael Storto, 12, of Pickering, and Lisa Barbieri, 13, of Ajax, will represent Canada at the three-day ‘mini- Olympics’ meet called ‘Giochi della Gioventu’ in Tuscany, Italy, for youth athletes of Ital- ian heritage from around the world. The trip is from June 1 to 8. Both athletes are looking forward to their first interna- tional meet. “I’m definitely excited,” said Storto, a Grade 7 student at St. Wilfrid Catholic School in Pickering. “It should be a great experience. I’m looking forward to meeting some new friends. I think it will be neat to swim there.” “I’m really looking forward to it,” added Barbieri, a Grade 8 student at Pickering Christ- ian School. The Italian Heritage Club of Ontario sponsors Canadian athletes for the competition on an annual basis. Approximate- ly 16 athletes from Ontario, both in swimming and track and field, will make the trip to Tuscany. Storto and Barbieri earned their way on to the team after they attended a qualifying meet at Toronto’s Northview Collegiate May 11. The meet was open to all boys and girls of Italian background born in 1988 or 1989. Each swimmer competed in the sport’s four disciplines (backstroke, freestyle, breast- stroke and butterfly) with Stor- to meeting the standard in the 50-metre freestyle and Barbi- eri qualifying in the 50m but- terfly. It may be their first time in an international setting, but both swimmers say their goal is to bring home a medal. “Yeah, I’m hoping to do well. The 50-metre butterfly is my best event,” said Barbieri, who has been swimming com- petitively with the Pickering Swim Club for the past four years. Both also say they’re look- ing forward to seeing the country of their parents and grandparents as time has been set aside to tour both Rome and Florence.

In some areas, this is the case, but for most of us this is a non reality. The panic situation has always been created by the media, and this is no different. Interest rates will rise,and this will obviously have a negative impact on the housing market. One indicator that I have always believed in, is the high priced home market. When these homes are selling, and increasing in value at an accelerated pace, the market is strong. When a home that four months ago took one to two weeks to sell at top price, and is now taking two months or more to sell. The high priced market has always been the first indicator of pending changes in the market. Take Advantage Of The Current Interests Rates Now If you have been thinking of refinancing, now is the time. Interest rates will rise, in the not too distant future. A good consolidation can save thousands of dollars in payments a year. Our clients save an average of $800 a month in payments. In most cases this means the difference of a good credit rating or falling into a poor rating, or simply put, “the difference between living a normal life, or struggling month to month just to survive”. Why Central Funding Group? Fast Professional service, with Prime first mortgages 1% below posted market rates. Second mortgages are available to 100% of value,for any worth while purpose.
