Regional council voted Wednesday to retain the policy of appointment by council for the re- gional chairman despite a sugges- tion to take the question to the peo- ple. Oshawa Councillor John Gray, who originally called for the chair- man to be elected-at-large, sug- gested another alternative would be to put the question on a referen- dum. But that suggestion was also voted down with some councillors suggesting the issue was too com- plex for voters to tackle. “If you put a question on the ballot ‘are you in favour of lower taxes’ the answer would be yes. If you asked ‘are you in favour of a holiday’, the answer would be yes and if you ask ‘are you in favour of electing the chairman’ the answer would be yes because it makes sense on a cursory view to say yes,” said Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt who chaired a task force on the issue. “You are going to get an unin- formed answer and then people will say later, ‘How did that hap- pen’?” the mayor said. Oshawa Councillor Bob Boy- chyn concurred noting, in the past Trash strike piles on the business for City firm BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —For one Pick- ering transfer station and recycling company, the benefits of a Toronto garbage strike just keep on coming, even after the Province legislated the striking crews back to work. Can-Sort Recycling Limited benefited directly from Toronto’s municipal workers strike, receiving an emergency amendment to its certificate of approval that allowed the transfer station to take in, and divert to landfill, 90 tonnes a day of municipal waste from Scarbor- ough. The company was also hired by Toronto during the strike to clean up areas declared a health emer- gency, including those around City transfer stations where Torontoni- ans were dumping their garbage in lieu of waiting for entrance to the facilities being held up by pickets. Now that the Province has DURHAM ––Durham is one of the fastest growing regions in Canada and it’s also home to some of the best and brightest young talent in the country. We present those young ath- letes, artists, musicians and aspir- ing surgeons, lawyers and actors in our second edition of ‘Faces of the Future,’a special section con- tained in today’s newspaper. We asked Durham’s high schools to select students who possess unique athletic or artistic talent and went to the region’s ed- ucators to give us their thoughts on these exceptional people. Our photographers –– Walter Passarella, Ron Pietroniro, A.J. Groen, Andrew Iwanowski and Carl Ferencz –– travelled throughout Durham,getting inter- esting shots of more than 125 of these young students in the envi- ronments in which they excel. Take a look inside. Enjoy! Faces of the Future inside! See DURHAM page 2 when he has asked people their views on an issue, he has been met with “dumb, stunned silence. “This is a very serious issue,” he added. But Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said there is an ideal opportunity during the election campaign period to edu- cate people on the issue and allow them to decide for themselves. “The argument put forward by Mayor Moffatt is based on the premise we know better,” he said. “The roughly one-third of the popu- lation that does vote is very aware of the process. They are very aware of the relative merits. To vote against this is to say (to the public) they can’t be trusted to give us informed advise on this. I think it forgets who pays all the bills here.” Pickering Councillor Mark Hol- land and Whitby Councillor Joe Drumm both suggested it is not a question of whether the public is in- formed but whether they expect their representatives to do their job. “I was elected by the good people of Whitby,” said Coun. Drumm. “That’s the only referendum needed. If they don’t think I’m doing a good job, they kick me out.” Coun. Holland, noted as a member of the task force examining this issue he read through hundreds of pages of reports and consulted on the issue. “I don’t believe in government-by-ref- erendum,” said noting if that was ef- fective, “why not get rid of us and have a dial-in public opinion poll and govern that way.” After voting down the referendum question, council determined the sys- tem of appointing the chairman by council should continue. However, it determined any eligible Durham Re- gion resident can stand for the job, a change from council’s previous posi- tion of electing only from within council. The decision was a disappoint- ment to Coun. Gray who said the growth of the Region and the power of the chairman warrants it should be elected-at-large. But Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle argued an election-at-large would be too costly to be democratic because of the geographical size of the region. “You’d either have to be indepen- dently wealthy or have a (political) party back you up. Then you’re back to the party system. We have mem- bers now worried about how election campaigns are funded.” Oshawa Councillor Warren Young said, “If you go that route, get ready for the power (the new chairman) will receive then.” Mayor Wayne Arthurs agreed, adding, “When we change the word Region to City, that’s when we should change to an elected chair- man.” Other motions forwarded by Coun. Holland were to have the ap- pointment of the chairman on a weighted vote based on assessment, and to appoint the chairman at the end of a term for the following ses- sion instead of at the beginning of the term because this necessitates a by- election (for the seat of the member appointed to the chair). Both motions were defeated. The regional chairman is respon- sible for representing the views of council to other levels of government and acts as a liaison with regional staff. He chairs council meetings, vot- ing only to break a tie. As well, the chairman sits on all regional commit- tee meetings where he does have a vote.

That’s what happened to Nigel Boteju of Ajax and Tina Verlys- donk of Toronto. The pair won a second-place prize of $73,238.30 in the April 10 Lotto 6/49 draw. But, Ms. Verlys- donk lost the ticket. “Guess what? We won the lot- tery, but I lost the ticket,” was the message Ms. Verlysdonk had for Mr. Boteju. Ms. Verlys- donk was in charge of buying the tickets for the draw and was carrying them in her cal- endar, but acci- dentally left it at a bus stop. The pair al- ways played the same numbers, which are a combination of birth- days and their ages when they met. So, when she saw the numbers the day after the draw, Ms. Verlysdonk knew they had won, but she didn’t have the ticket. Not only had their own set of numbers won, but the numbers Mr. Boteju plays on his own won $1,800 in the same draw. That’s when a Good Samaritan came along, calling Ms. Verlys- donk to say she had found the cal- endar and would mail it the same day. “I was so excited, it felt like an emotional roller-coaster,” Ms. Verlysdonk told Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation staff. They waited for the calendar to arrive in the mail, but it didn’t. It had been mailed, but there wasn’t sufficient postage and there wasn’t a return address, so Canada Post deemed it undeliverable. More than three months and “what felt like hundreds” of phone calls later, the calendar was found and given to Ms. Verlysdonk. They collected their winnings July 3. Ms. Verlysdonk, 35, is a clerk in the intensive care unit at Scar- borough Hospital, Grace Di- vision, while Mr. Boteju, 37, is a systems operator with IBM. With their winnings, they’re planning a trip together to Vancou- ver next year, while Ms. Verlys- donk also plans to buy a new car. The second-prize winning tick- et was bought in Scarborough.

Judge puts off decision in ‘difficult’ sex-abuse case BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A judge hearing the case of a Toronto Police officer ac- cused of sexually abusing his daugh- ters wants the evidence to “percolate” before reaching his decision. What was scheduled to be a “five- day sexual assault trial has just fin- ished on the 19th day,” Justice John Sheppard said Friday after hearing several days of closing submissions by Crown and defence counsel. Calling it a “very difficult case”, he said he needed time to review the evidence before deciding the guilt or innocence of the Durham Region man. “It’s going to take me a while to sort through the evidence and allow it to sit and percolate, so to speak,” the judge said before adjourning to Fri- day, Aug. 9. He hopes to give a judgment then, “but I can give you no guarantees.” The 49-year-old accused Toronto constable has pleaded not guilty to two counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual ex- ploitation. The case comes down to the word of two young women against the word of their father. During the trial in Superior Court of Justice, his eldest daughter, now 20, testified she was sexually abused three to four times a week from the time she was four or five years old until she was 17. The younger daughter testified she was abused while aged 13 and 14, less frequently. The accused denied the allega- tions, dismissing them as “disgusting lies”.

If you see an opportunity to increase your business and generate revenue you have to go forward.” However, some of the striking work- ers he met outside the transfer stations didn’t always see it that way. In fact, they faced delays at most transfer stations and when Can-Sort left some equipment inside overnight strik- ing workers refused them entry until their court order to clean up the area was amended. “There was some yelling but we kept our cool and kept quite,” he said. The way Mr. Wiltshire sees it, he was just helping out a neighbour. “I live in Pickering and if we were having prob- lems like this we would want our neigh- bour to help us out,” he said. But, Pickering’s other waste transfer station, run by Miller Waste Systems, did not take advantage of the strike. “We have been asked by the City of Toronto to start taking some of their res- idential waste during the strike but we said ‘no’. We turned it away,” said Scott Wolfe, general manager of Miller. “We held to our agreement with the City of Pickering not to take Toronto’s waste.” Miller is the only transfer station in Pickering cleared to accept municipal waste on a regular basis (Can-Sort’s ap- plication to accept municipal waste is still pending).

You’ll get a roar of the tires and excessive speed comparable to Indy-car racing. We have it all here on Liverpool. There are no stop signs between Krosno and the bottom of Liverpool. Fasten your seat-belts and watch as the cars drive in excess of 100 km/h down to the bottom of the lake! The City could make a fortune by having radar set up any time, day or night. Just jump in your car and drive down Liverpool at any speed. Beware all cats and dogs... cross the street at your own risk. Check out all the latest models as they speed by. It’s summer time. Crank up your radio and let it rip. Don’t bother to complain about the speed because the City has plans for the road. It wants people to enjoy the new and improved waterfront. It’s going to add lights on Liverpool and bury the overhead wires. It is going to resurface the road and add a bike lane. But will there be some stop signs? No way! That won’t work! We will have townhomes and a few shops. Maybe they should set up a morgue at the bottom of the street. Someone is going to get hurt soon if they do not do something about the speeding.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 14, 2002 An issue so charged with emotion and polarized argument that some of the members of Parliament debating it received threats against their lives marks an anniversary today. Twenty- six years ago, on July 14, 1976, the death penalty was abolished in Cana- da. The decision came after 98 hours of deliberation when lawmakers fi- nally voted according to their own personal conscience. At the end of the day, a majority of them conclud- ed putting convicted murderers to death was no longer an acceptable form of criminal justice. These parliamentarians endured the wrath of the ‘eye for an eye’con- stituency that demanded Canada re- tain the ultimate punishment. Not to do so, it was claimed, would take away the only deterrent would-be murderers might comprehend. This has not been the case. Since capital punishment was abolished, the most serious sentence that can be meted out in Canada is life imprison- ment with no possibility of parole for 25 years. Since 1976, the national homicide rate has been slowly but steadily decreasing. According to Statistics Canada, since 1961, there have been two quite different trends. Between 1961 and 1975, the homicide rate increased steadily from 1.25 per 100,000 popu- lations to a peak of 3.02, an increase of 142 per cent. From 1975 to 1997, despite yearly fluctuations, the homi- cide rate has gradually declined from 3.02 per 100,000 to 1.92, a decrease of 36 per cent. The most recent years available, 1998, 1999 and 2000, con- tinue to show the total number of homicides in Canada declining or staying almost the same at 558, 538 and 542, respectively. Obviously, as much as the venge- ful part of human nature would enjoy putting the Clifford Olsons and Paul Bernardos out of their (but mostly our) misery, holding up the spectre of capital punishment is not going to stop them or anybody else hell-bent on destruction of the worst kind. The fact is homicides continue to account for less than one per cent of all vio- lent crimes reported by police. There is also another reason I cel- ebrate the meaning behind what hap- pened on Parliament Hill 26 years ago today. It’s simply that the final and irreversible punishment of the death penalty won’t be applied to an innocent person. I leave you with just three names: David Milgaard, Don- ald Marshall and Guy Paul Morin. These wrongfully accused men are still alive, exonerated. I rest my case. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com History shows killer decision was the right one Boards of education across the province saw an opportunity for renewed dialogue after Premier Ernie Eves made it clear he was open to a review of the funding formula. With former school trustee Elizabeth Witmer appointed the new minister of education, there is an opportunity to come up with a system that benefits all and puts an end to claims of un- derfunding. Ms. Witmer has appeared conciliatory towards all sides and seems interested in finding a solution. The review is currently under way, with a report expected by November. On Thursday, school board trustees from across Ontario will be meeting in Hamilton to discuss the common problems they face. According to Durham District School Board trustee Doug Ross, who plans to attend the summit, “the message (to the Province) has to be the same and I’ll bet there’s three or four things we all have in common.” Nancy Coffin of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, will also attend to “observe and to listen”. Those “three or four things”, would include special-education funding, declining enrolment, wages and benefits funding, and accommodation needs. Special-education funding has been a desperate need among boards for years. In the Kawartha Pine Ridge and Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington Catholic District School boards, for instance, requests for special-education places have more than doubled over the past few years. But the Province has frozen special-ed funding from 2001-02 to 2002-03. That leaves the boards stuck and needing to dip into reserves or forces them to go into a deficit to try to make up the difference. Or, even worse, special-ed needs are ignored and students who really need extra help simply are unable to receive it. Provincial law prohibits boards from running deficits but pub- lic school boards in Ottawa, Hamilton and London have passed deficits anyway. The Toronto public board has threatened to do the same. Of added interest for trustees is the report from the Ontario- based think-tank, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, which challenges the Province’s claim funding has increased over the past seven years. In real dollars and taking enrolment growth, inflation and other increased costs into account, the centre argues funding has actually declined by $2 billion per year. While the figures may be in dispute, the study offers plenty of room for discussion on all sides. The Province has already found an extra $560 million for next year. Trustees will be asking if that’s enough and will hopefully be offering constructive, positive solutions that benefit our stu- dents. A much needed meeting of the minds Let’s hope provincial trustees use session to develop constructive education solutions Jane McDonald Staff Writer shouston@durhamregion.com Parkwood Estate marks 30 years as public museum DURHAM ––Celebrate McLaughlin Day at the for- mer home of the late Col. Sam McLaughlin, Parkwood Es- tate. On Aug. 5, the grounds of Parkwood will be the scene of fun and historical displays as Parkwood celebrates its 30th anniversary as a public muse- um. There will be live enter- tainment, carnival games, re- freshments, displays of auto- mobiles and vintage carriages and exhibits from Parkwood’s past. Tours of the 55-room man- sion will also be available at regular admis- sion. The day’s activities run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Parkwood opened its doors to the public in 1972, six months after the death of Col. McLaughlin, the founder of General Motors of Canada. Parkwood is now a national historic site and a provincial and local her- itage estate. Colonel McLaughlin was also named a Canadian of historical sig- nificance and a member of the Canadian Busi- ness Hall of Fame.

Rows of Victorian homes hug nar- row roads, cars park on the residential streets and garages are kept hidden in rear alleys. In the heart of this village is a traditional four-storey ‘main street’ building, with walk-up apart- ments sitting on top of a café and other shops on the ground floor. Dubbed Cornell, the community is North America’s largest example of what is called new urbanism. The term is an oxymoron because it mere- ly signifies a return to the way towns and cities were built before the auto- mobile became omnipresent in the post-war boom years. Besides the historic downtowns in Durham’s communities, there are no such examples of new urbanism in the region. However, a large tract of land in central Pickering called Seaton could become the Region’s first at- tempt at reining in its suburban-style growth. Like Cornell, the Seaton area of Pickering was part of 20,000 acres the Province expropriated in the early 1970s. At the time, the Province envi- sioned building a city of up to 250,000 people to exist beside the federal gov- ernment’s proposed Pickering Inter- national Airport. Both proposals fell through. In the early 1990s, the NDP re- vised the plans for the Province’s lands. It hired Andres Duany, a new urbanism guru from Florida, to mas- ter-plan Cornell as a community of 10,000 units on 2,400 acres. It then set up to a task force to propose a design for Seaton. The result was, like Cor- nell, a mixed-use community that shed the curvilinear streets and cul de sacs of suburbia in favour of tradition- al grid streets. Completed in 1995, the task force submitted the Seaton report to the new Tory government but it has since sat on a shelf. Recently, however, the Province has been negotiating a land swap, whereby certain developers would give up their sensitive moraine lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge in exchange for Seaton property. The question though is whether develop- ers will have to abide by the recom- mendations of the 1995 Seaton report, including the suggestion that less than 40 per cent of the area’s 9,000 acres be used for urban development. Durham Region’s planning depart- ment believes the Province plans to use the report as a basis for develop- ment in the area. The Province itself says the City of Pickering, which has launched its own growth-manage- ment study of the area, would have input into any development application. If built as envisioned, the Seaton community would be markedly dif- ferent from the rest of Durham, espe- cially in one way: it aims to provide 45,000 permanent jobs for the planned community of 90,000 people. One job for every two persons is a ratio the rest of the Region would love to have, because it means people would be working where they live and perhaps would not be using their cars as much. “It’s one of those lofty ob- jectives,” notes Alex Georgi- eff, Durham Region’s com- missioner of planning. “We’re not there and it’s going to take us probably a number of years to get there.” In fact, according to the most recent statistics avail- able, Durham had only one job for every three people in 1996. About 40 per cent of the Region’s workforce goes elsewhere to work, such as Toronto and York Region, ac- cording to a new report on the Greater Toronto Area by planning consultants GHK Canada. Combine that with the fact only about 10 per cent of newcomers to the Region - and there are 10,000 of them each year - use public transit, and Durham is facing a gridlock crisis. A 1996 study suggested traffic on Durham’s regional roads would in- crease by 112 per cent by 2021. The Region’s first answer to the problem is new and improved roads. A draft transportation master plan calls for the Region to spend $438 million on its regional roads over the next 20 years. It is also pushing the Province to widen Hwy. 401 and add more interchanges to it, and to com- plete the extension of Hwy. 407 to Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington from its current terminus at Brock Road in Pickering. Transit is not being overlooked, says a Regional spokesman, but it is also not being looked at as the main solution. The Region aims to use tran- sit to reduce peak period traffic by 15 per cent over the next 20 years, but that’s of estimated future levels, not of today’s figures. “You try as much as you can, through marketing and education, to illustrate to people there are implica- tions of their lifestyle choices and their travel behaviours, but at the end of the day you have to accommodate a share of the travel demand (through roads),” says Gene Chartier, manager of transportation planning for Durham Region. This ongoing road-building, and the congestion and air pollution that goes along with it, is a symptom of both the low density subdivisions being built in Durham and the in- creasing distance between residential, commercial,industrial and institution- al zones, says Professor Pierre Filion, of Waterloo University’s school of planning. In short, it’s urban sprawl, he says. “When you live in a sprawling kind of environment, you become en- tirely dependent on the car because you don’t have any choice,” Prof. Fil- ion explains. “If you want to bring your kids to school, you need a car, to go and buy milk you need a car...so you need a car for virtually all pur- poses in your life.” His solution, a notion put forth by most planners,is to increase both den- sities and transit along main roads. The trouble is finding someone to pay for it, he says. The GHK Canada report, which was commissioned by the City of Toronto, calls for money spent on transit in the GTA to double. It also recommends governments create in- centives for developers to build rental housing, so that apartments will once again be built above retail stores on main streets. And it suggests intensi- fying and reinvesting in older comuni- ties like down- town Oshawa. Roger Anderson, Durham Region’s chairman, has heard these suggestions before, but says the regional and municipal gov- ernments can’t force developers to build something they can’t sell. There are numerous places in the Region where developers could build high rises if they wanted to, but customers aren’t demanding them, he points out. “They’re not interested in that, they’re interested in some- thing with a front door and a back door and a little greenspace around,” Mr. Anderson says. “You can’t get that in an apartment.” Last year, Dr. Gordon Chong, then the chairman of the now-defunct Greater Toronto Services Board, criticized Mr. An- derson for declaring there was no sprawl in Durham Region. Mr. Anderson has not backed down from his assertion. “All the 905, believe it or not, is the result of well-planned, well-de- fined urban areas,” Mr. Anderson says. “To suggest what’s on the ground now just came up is wrong. We planned for this growth a long time ago.” Mr. Chong, now the chairman of GO Transit, has softened his stance. “The Durham politicians’ version of sprawl is not probably the way we in Toronto would define sprawl, because Roger (Anderson) and many of the politicians in Durham look upon it as choice, and to a certain extent it is but you have to balance it off,” Dr. Chong says. “It is inevitable that at some point in time some group of politicians is going to have to say,‘OK,this is it,we can’t do this anymore.’” Commissioner Georgieff doesn’t believe that day will come in Durham. He says the Region’s Official Plan is guiding Durham through an evolu- tionary process that will see the south- ern cities become denser and with a more homegrown job market. Comparing Durham to the much older cities of Toronto or Montreal - or worse, historic European cities - is shortsighted, Mr. Georgieff says. “It’s a long-term strategy, it’s a long-term plan, and I think we’re on the right road.” Sprawl or stall Durham Population Targets Municipality 2001* 2021** % increase Ajax 73,753 121,000 64 Brock 12,110 19,800 64 Clarington 69,834 169,400 143 Oshawa 139,051 297,500 114 Pickering 87,139 150,300 72 Scugog 20,224 27,600 36 Uxbridge 17,377 21,200 18 Whitby 87,413 163,100 87 * according to Statistics Canada 2001 Census ** according to Durham Region’s 1991 Official Plan What is urban sprawl? “Unplanned growth, forced upon a municipality through a source other than council, such as the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board).” - Roger Anderson, Chairman of Durham Region “Using land in an inefficient and ineffective manner to house people and jobs.” - John Gladki, director of plan- ning consultants GHK Canada “The term sprawl really came out of the media in the 1950s to define what was happening in the (United) States:the con- tinuous, uncontrolled outward growth, gobbling up farm- lands.

Officials to review funding of other hospitals BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Pat Schell knows too well the hardship for patients making the long and frequent drive into Toronto for cancer care. The long-time Canadian Cancer Society transporta- tion volunteer relates gru- elling six-week, five-day-a- week schedules for radia- tion treatments at downtown hospitals that take only two minutes to administer but up to four hours in travel time. Other Durham resi- dents have travelled as far as Kingston and Thunder Bay to receive treatment, she says. Keeping cancer patients at home was all the impetus Durham council needed to rethink its position on fund- ing health care facilities and agreed to provide $7.5 mil- lion to a new regional can- cer centre Wednesday. But council was hesitant to go a step further and ap- prove $4.5 million toward the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital for a new emergency room. That pro- posal, by Pickering Coun- cillor Mark Holland the same day, was referred to the finance committee for a broader discussion on the issue of funding capital health care projects. Council, which voted against funding hospitals a year-and-a-half ago, decid- ed to fund the cancer centre, to be built beside Lakeridge Health Oshawa, from the $27.5-million rate stabiliza- tion fund over three years so it won’t raise taxes. “Whatever hospital this was going to be located at in Durham, I would be sup- porting this,” said Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond. “Should we be funding health care? Probably not,” she admitted. However, the mayor added, the cancer centre will allow Durham to offer a new level of health care it cannot otherwise provide. The centre is being funded on a 70-30 ratio by the Province, which has al- ready committed its portion of the cost. The cancer centre fund- ing decision was unanimous with the exception of Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. He said he could not support fund- ing either the cancer centre or the Ajax-based hospital because the Region should not be spending property tax dollars on health care, a federal and provincial re- sponsibility. The mayor listed other responsibilities already downloaded to local proper- ty taxpayers including am- bulance services and social housing. “Now we’re being asked to voluntarily take on funding of hospitals. It is fundamentally wrong. The Province of Ontario can give us the tools to con- tribute on an ongoing basis,” he added, noting the Region has asked the Province for the ability to charge health care develop- ment charges to home- builders. As the Region continues to grow, the problem will only get worse and develop- ment charges would pay to service that growth. Scugog Councillor Ken Carruthers was among many voices calling for more federal and provincial health care spending. “Ill- ness knows no borders. Cancer has no borders,” he said. The Oshawa-based can- cer centre is expected to serve patients from as far as Haliburton and Belleville. The Heroes for Hope fund-raising campaign for the cancer centre must raise $30 million in total as its contribution to construction of the approximately $100- million project. Including the Region’s commitment for $7.5 million, the cam- paign now has commit- ments for $22.5 million.

Suite #103 Enrol Now For Summer Programs. When Labour Day rolls around each year, students file back into their schools - ready for a new school year. Or are they? A teacher friend of mine tells me that, “It isn’t until mid October that most kids are back to speed. “This means that from July 1 through Thanksgiving many students are not focused or at their best. It may even be worse than that. Think about your child’s learning experi- ences in June each year. Tests, exams, field trips and other events consume most of that month’s schedule adding an- other month to the let-down period. Considering that the average school year includes only 195 days of instruction, we soon see why many schools struggle to meet the educational expectation of parents and society. We know that kids who are focused and ready in Sep- tember, will learn, integrate and understand new material right away. How can you help your kids stay sharp over the sum- mer holiday so there will be no let-down in the fall? Here are a few suggestions: • Reading: Make sure that your children read dur- ing the summer. Even if they have a busy social life and a part or full time job, make sure that they take time each day to read. • Studying: Set up brief study periods at least every other day. Times when your child can review the worst or hardest subjects, read ahead into next year’s material and organize for next year. • Writing: Buy interest- ing journals and help them get started. Write each day - feelings, weather, what they did. Anything is fine. Encour- age internet communication with a select group of friends using something like ICQ or Messenger. The more they write, the more they focus. • However, possibly the best way to help students stay sharp is through a good sum- mer program such as those at Oxford Learning Centres to help keep those thinking, reading, writing, math and study skills sharp and ready for September. It’s not so much the memorized material that stu- dents forget over the summer, it’s learning how to learn that gets forgotten each summer. That’s because it is seldom taught independent of school subjects. Students who devel- op good learning and think- ing skills will be ready for success in September. Attend- ing a study session over the summer at Oxford is the best way I know of overcoming the summer let-down. For more information call Oxford Learning Centre Pickering 905-420-3141.

Regardless of the age of the participants, proper preparation and technique should be taken to avoid injury. Even children starting at the age of 6 or 7 who have no physical or pre-existing conditions will find baseball a relatively safe game. Adults who play the game more casual- ly and who are in a less than optimum condi- tion, should take it slowly at the start of the season. If you are over 40 years old, over- weight, a diabetic or a smoker, you should see your M.D. before seeing your first pitch. If you have a pre-existing foot problem, you should see your podiatrist. Baseball involves a lot of sudden stops and starts, as well as lateral movements, there- fore, it is important to loosen up before the game. Even young children should do simple stretches before taking to the field. Before beginning the game, both teams should make sure the playing field is free from hazards such as holes, rocks, branches, glass or tin cans. This is the easiest way to prevent injuries. One of the most important pieces of equipment in any sport is the footwear, and baseball is no exception. For children under the age of 10, sneakers will suffice. When first introduced to cleats, the player should wear them gradually before the game. Although traction is improved with cleats, it leaves the ankle more susceptible to twists and sprains. Never put a child in hand-me-down cleats, as ill-fitting cleats also increase the chance for ankle injuries. When sizing cleats, always mea- sure feet while standing, and use a game type sock when trying them on. When wearing spikes, the player must have the maturity to appreciate the danger they can inflict. When wearing cleats or spikes for the first time, watch for irritation, redness or blis- ters, as they can indicate a biomechanical prob- lem, and the cleats should be discontinued for 2 or 3 days. If the pain returns again, see a podi- atrist to evaluate a possible gait abnormality. Injuries associated with baseball involve repetitive stress, especially in a pitcher’s feet and ankles. The squatting of catchers has asso- ciated knee problems. Coaches should ensure the players know how to slide properly, and bases should not be firmly secured to avoid ankle sprains and leg fractures. Contusions can occur quite often in baseball from pitched balls, foul tips or slid- ing base runners. Often an ice pack and a few days rest will help ease the pain. The sudden stops and starts in the out- field or on the base paths, without proper stretching can lead to Achilles tendonitis and shin splints. Regular stretching can ease this problem. Plantar fasci- itis, especially for catchers, can lead to heel pain. This is often best treated with orthotics. Artificial grass laid on a concrete surface can accelerate injuries. Although not a contact sport, baseball is not without its injuries, however, with proper preparation and shoe wear, these injuries can be minimized.

NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, July 14, 2002 PAGE 11 P A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 14, 2002 Reclaiming theRegent A group of hard-working volunteers recently descended on Oshawa’s Regent Theatre to help clean up its act Armed with brooms, vacuums, squeegees, rags and elbow grease, the volunteers cleaned up the old barber- shop, which will be used as a display centre to keep the public informed of the Regent’s progress over the next few years. “We want to start letting people know what is happening with the theatre,” said Wil Gonidis, regional direc- tor on the Regent advi- sory committee. “We think it’s going to be a great part of the city and we want everyone to be a part of it.” Last year, the City purchased the vacant, heritage King Street East building, which last saw life as a large bar. The City has leased the former movie theatre to Oshawa Folk Arts Council for $1 a year for 20 years. OFAC has agreed to be the lead agency in raising money for the Regent’s exten- sive renovations and in managing it as a community performing arts centre for Durham Region. An independent board of governors will be created at a later date to oversee the Regent. The Regent project is still in its “quiet stage” of planning and fund-raising. Mr. Gonidis said the committee wants everything in place before it goes public with a fund-raising campaign for several million dollars. All options are being assessed, he added. The reno- vations to the 83-year-old Regent are expected to take about three years, said Howard Smith, a member of the advisory committee. Meanwhile, money and volunteer efforts are being accepted for the Regent Theatre. Donations can be made out to the Oshawa Folk Arts Council, marked for the Regent Theatre. Volunteers are needed to help with a variety of work. Anyone wanting more information or to volunteer should call the Downtown Oshawa Board of Man- agement at 905-576-7606 and ask for Jason Boyle. Volunteers and friends of the Regent Theatre gathered recently to clean up the former barbershop beside the theatre. From left are Howard Smith, Smith & Runcini Accountants; Wil Gonidis, Bell Canada-Regional director on Regent Theatre Advisory Board; and Rachel Lucas, a summer student with the Downtown Oshawa Board of Management. At the height of its popularity the Regent, pictured here in 1936 when the film was ‘Rose Marie’ featuring Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, had the distinction of being Oshawa’s prime movie house, drawing over a half million viewers per year.

Built by the Famous Players Theatre chain in 1919, the Regent Theatre opened the ‘Roaring Twenties’ as a vaudeville house prior to the emergence of talking pictures.

Boaters will soon need a licence to drive Local Red Cross offers users a chance to prepare for exam DURHAM —It’s estimated about 200 Canadians die each year while operating a recre- ational boat. By Sept. 15, all boat opera- tors of vessels under four metres in length will be required by federal law to have a pleasure craft operator card (PCOC). It is estimated about 500,000 people in Canada currently have PCOCs, and by the end of Sep- tember, three- to four-million boaters will be required to have one.Any boaters born after April 1, 1983, are currently required to have a card. Regular patrols by the On- tario Provincial Police will en- force the law, and a $250 fine may be given to individuals without a PCOC. The law, which was intro- duced by the Canadian Coast Guard, is being phased in across the country, with a September 2009 deadline for operators of all sizes of boats. “It’s being (introduced) in three sections,” said Sharon Walker of the Region of Durham Red Cross. “They had to be- cause of the (large) volumes (of boat operators).” A Canadian Red Cross pro- gram, ‘on board’, offers boaters a chance to prepare for the PCOC exam, using either a manual, online subscription, or a CD-ROM. After learning the rules, tests can be written at the Red Cross. A score of 75 per cent is needed to pass. The pro- gram is $25 for learning materi- als, and $20 for the exam. “(On board) has been very successful for us,” Ms. Walker said. Since it is a home-study pro- gram, she said many families study together, and learn at their own pace. For more information, call the Durham Red Cross at 905- 723-2933 or visit www.red- cross.ca.

Pickering sailors ready for world’s best in Kingston BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A crew of Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club sailors have set a course to com- pete against the world’s best this month. The five-man crew of the ‘Bo- hica’— helmsman Brent Hughes, 30, of Pickering, tactician Irwyn Naidoo, 28, of Pickering, trimmer Rich Coram, 31, of Unionville, pitman Mark Bowman, 32, of Whitby, and foredeck Tom Oliv- er, 23, of Pickering — represents Canada in the J24 racing class at the World Sailing Championships in Kingston, Ont., July 18 to 26. The Canadians will sail in 10 races over five days against crews from such nations as the United States, Mexico, Chile, Italy, Bermuda, Japan, Germany, Great Britain and France, to name a few. The crew with the lowest score over the five days is the winner. Hughes noted with such a field of professional sailors, he and his crew are hoping for a finish in the top half of the 80 to 90 boats ex- pected in the class. “We’re up against some seri- ous heavy-duty competition. This is the pinnacle of where we want- ed to get in sailing. This is where we hoped to get in the last four years,” said Hughes, who has been sailing competitively since 1982. “This is definitely the biggest sailing thing any of us have ever done in our lives.” It’s been an uphill climb the last three years to qualify to rep- resent Canada at the worlds, the first time Canada has hosted the J24 event since 1989. At the 1999 qualifying regatta in Newport, Rhode Island, Hugh- es and crew missed qualifying by one spot. At the 2000 qualifier, his crew also met disappointment, missing a chance to advance to the worlds in Japan, again by one position. Last July, however, the third time was the charm. The crew of the Bohica guided the sailboat to a fifth-place finish in Canada at the J24 champi- onships in Kingston, thus assur- ing itself of the last spot available for the worlds this year. And, so far this year, it has been smooth sailing. In South Carolina in March, the Bohica sailed to a 20th-place finish out of 60 boats. In May, the local crew placed fifth out of 35 vessels in a New York Regatta and was fifth at the Toronto regat- ta. Hughes, Coram and Naidoo formerly raced in the Kirby 25 class, winning the North Ameri- can championship in 1996, 1997 and 1999, while finishing second in 1998. Hughes noted the difference in the two classes is huge. There are only 300 boats in the Kirby 25 class worldwide, while the J24 has more than 3,000. The five left for Kingston Fri- day, July 12 and begin training on Lake Ontario for the beginning of races July 22. Although the competition will be stiff, Hughes and crew are nonetheless looking forward to the challenge. “It’s definitely not daunting to us,” he said. “We’re very excited. We’re finally getting to sail against the best in the world.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 14, 2002 WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE A FRESH START Professional and Personalized Service Free Confidential Consultation CLARKE HENNING INC.

Visit www.bathreno.ca It’s Definitely Worth The Visit Buying a home is a difficult enough experience without the problems of securing the financing to make it all pos- sible. The prospect of finding a mortgage could mean visiting many financial insti- tutions in order to find a desirable inter- est rate and the subsequent approval. Unfortunately this is the mistake many people make - shopping around for a mortgage. Earl Willi is the owner/broker of Diamond Mortgage Inc. and has more than 15 years experience helping his clients secure a mortgage without wast- ing time and hurting their credit rating. “Every time you apply for credit it shows up on your credit bureau file and too many inquiries will hurt your credit rating,” he says. “There is also the time it takes to shop around and most people are just too busy.” As a broker, Earl will do the shop- ping for you, contacting various banks and trust companies that he does busi- ness with on a regular basis. “Once you fill out an application for me and are qualified, I will find the best deal,” he says. “Up to 1% or with a 5 year variable starting at 1.49%*. You can have an application faxed to you and you can fax it right back to Earl or fill one out on his website. He will also make a personal visit if necessary. But believe it or not you can apply for a loan and be approved by fax and phone. “What’s even better there is no cost to the client. No upfront fees,” says Earl. “I’m paid by the lender.” In the U.S. more than 70% of mort- gages are secured through brokers while in Canada it’s about one-third but grow- ing all the time. “Not only do you get the best inter- est rate and maintain a good credit rating but it saves you time,” says Earl. “It’s a win- win situation and the modern way to get the financing to buy a home.” When it comes to consolidations the new CMHC rules allow refinancing of up to 90% to consolidate all debts. “One of our clients saved $2,000 a month,” says Earl. Diamond Mortgage Inc. also offers private funding for people with sufficient equity in their home. “This is great for people with equi- ty but have problems such as tax arrears, mortgage arrears or bad credit,” says Earl.

We’re the Communications, Energy, and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP), and we need to contact former Bell Canada Operators. Over a decade ago, we filed equity complaints against Bell alleging that Operators and other jobs done by women were not paid fairly compared to male jobs. The struggle to win fairpay for women continues, as Bell uses the courts, contracts out the work, and hopes the “problem” will go away. It is imperative that we contact Operators and other employees who may be entitled to claim a part of the many millions of dollars of fairpay entitlement from Bell. If you worked as a Bell Operator any time since 1990, please contact CEP without delay. Email: fairpaynow@sympatico.ca or call 1-800-461-1989 (ask for Toby, Weekdays (9 to 5) With your participation we will win a fairpay settlement from Bell. 262 Public Notices 262 Public Notices 262 Public Notices 400 Cars For Sale 400 Cars For Sale 700 Home Improvements 710 Painting and Decorating Visit Us On the Internet: www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, July 14, 2002 PAGE 21 A/P Tree Service736 Party Services753 Dating Services900 FRIENDS AND LOVERS DAT- ING SERVICE!

Could millions of people suffer less arthritic pain by following more nutritious food consump- tion? Arthritis has been called the “chronic-care challenge of the 21st century century.” It’s esti- mated 30 million North Ameri- cans suffer from osteoarthritis (OA), and that 70 per cent of hip replacements are due to this dis- ease. Osteoarthritis is the “wear and tear “ form of arthritis. Like an aging car that starts to squeak, human joints begin to grate and scrape as we get older. But re- search at Tufts University in Boston shows there’s more to arthritis than the stresses associ- ated with aging. They say, inade- quate nutrition also sets the stage for arthritis. Several years ago I inter- viewed Dr. Linus Pauling, two- time Nobel prize winner. Dr. Pauling publicized the impor- tance of vitamin C in fighting the common cold. But he also be- lieved vitamin C had a much more important role. Dr. Pauling stressed what he called ‘Big C’ was needed to manufacture healthy collagen, the major component of cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion be- tween bones. Without sufficient C collagen and cartilage are inade- quate and bones start rubbing to- gether causing the pain of os- teoarthritis. Big C is also important in treating rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type of this disease. It’s believed free radicals, the waste products of metabolism, are partly responsible for injuring cartilage and destroying vitamin C. Studies show the joints of pa- tients with this disease are defi- cient in C. Since vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals, patients need extra C to decrease the pain and deter progression of the disease. During a recent trip to Boston I spoke with researchers associat- ed with the famous Framingham Health Study. They have followed thousands of patients for 40 years trying to discover what is good or bad for arthritis. The study shows people with osteoarthritis who consumed over 9,000 international units of beta- carotene a day had decreased pro- gression of this disease and were less likely to suffer from knee pain later in life. A Finnish study showed patients with low levels of beta-carotene were eight times more likely to develop rheuma- toid arthritis as they aged. Beta- carotene is present in deep- coloured vegetables and fruits. The same Framingham study showed vitamin D is important. Those suffering from arthritic knees who consumed less than 350 units were more likely to have more arthritis in the future than those who took over 400 units a day. There is good reason why this is true. Vitamin D is needed for the proper absorption of calcium. The only major source of vitamin D in our diet is milk. Not many people today are drinking three glasses of milk daily, nature’s near perfect food. The Framingham study uncov- ered another vital fact. The oils we consume also oil our joints. But not all oils are equal. The oils in our food contain different types of fatty acids. The good omega-3 fatty acids fight inflam- mation, the bad omega-6 fatty acids trigger inflammation. Obviously it’s better to have more of the good oils than the bad ones. But today North Americans eat 10 times more omega-6 than omega-3 which then trigger not only arthritis, but also heart dis- ease. Recent research shows death form heart attack may be the result of a combination of both clogged and inflamed coro- nary arteries. The logical solution is to change our diet. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables to obtain vitamin C. One carrot con- tains 20,000 international units of beat-carotene and a sweet potato with skin 25,000 IU. And drink three glasses of milk daily. The best sources of omega-3 are salmon, halibut and sardines. It’s also present in walnuts, beans, tofu, flaxseed oil, pecans and green leafy vegetables. To avoid omega-6 oils reduce processed foods in supermarkets, frozen and boxed foods, crackers, cookies and many desert items. Be sure to buy the right cooking oils. Omega-6 is present in corn, sunflower and cottonseed oil. Olive, soybean and canola cook- ing oils contain omega-3. Don’t neglect weight control. If you weigh 150 pounds the pressure on the joints increases to 450 pounds on movement. If you’re going downstairs it reach- es 900 pounds. So any weight re- duction goes a long way to in- crease the benefits of sound nutri- tion. W.
