Province relents on home fees Rent hikes to be phased in over next two years BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer DURHAM —The Province an- nounced Wednesday it plans to phase in a controversial rent hike that originally would have seen Durham’s 2,200 nursing home resi- dents paying an extra $213 per month starting yesterday. The new rate, which becomes ef- fective Sept. 1, means long-term care residents across Ontario will initially pay only $92 more per month — a 6.8-per cent increase in- stead of the 15-per cent jump sur- prised on residents and their fami- lies by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care in late June. How- ever, the Province plans to boost rents again over the next two years to generate the remaining $121 a month. The long-term care industry, which had complained the original rent hike was too severe, applauded the decision. “Frankly, the government has lis- tened and that’s a good thing,” said Donna Rubin, chief executive offi- cer of the Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services For Seniors (OANHSS), which repre- sents three Durham Region-operat- ed nursing homes, located in Os- hawa, Whitby, and Beaverton. A ministry spokesman admitted the decision to delay the rent hike was due to public pressure. “We heard loud and clear (the concerns) from residents and their families,” said Lynne Hamilton, a spokesman for Long Term Care Minister Dan Newman. One Uxbridge nursing home res- ident questioned why the govern- ment needed prodding to phase in Police chopper finds pot field No arrests in seizure of plants DURHAM ––Durham’s police helicopter has uncovered $225,000 worth of marijuana crops hidden in fields and a for- est in Pickering and Clarington. Police made the first seizures of the outdoor growing season this past week after the force’s chopper unit, Air 1, spotted plants in cornfields near Sideline 26 and Whitevale Road in Pick- ering and on Concession 1 at Stephenson Road in Clarington. More were located in a cedar forest at Concession 5 and Pat- terson Road, Clarington. No arrests were made and the weed was destroyed. See CHANGES page 2 Striking a better balance in Pickering New office building helps take some burden off homeowners BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The shape of downtown Pickering is changing once again. As a result, City councillors are excited over the prospect of im- proving the ratio between the commercial and residential tax base. Pickering council approved Monday night a plan to build a new three-storey office building on the south side of Pickering Parkway, east of Valley Farm Road. “It’s nice to see the creation of a downtown core in Pickering and that we may have more people both living and working in Picker- See CITY page 4 the increase. “Why didn’t they do that in the first place?” asked Mervin DeNure, immedi- ate past-president of the residents’coun- cil at Versa-Care Centre Uxbridge. Ontario Premier Ernie Eves appeared to agree with Mr. DeNure, saying Wednesday he was disappointed with the way the ministry originally an- nounced the hike. The $92 monthly increase will gen- erate an extra $25 million annually for the Province. Ministry officials said that money, along with $75 million of the Province’s own funds, will be used to increase nursing and personal care ser- vices in nursing homes, including hiring 600 more nurses and 1,800 personal care aides. For a 100-bed facility like Versa- Care, therefore, that translates to the equivalent of about one extra nurse and three more personal care aides. Mr. DeNure said more staff is des- perately needed. “They’re understaffed,” he said. “The girls (employees) are double-worked.” The long-term care industry said the $100 million for increased staff was a good first step. “(But) it’s less than we need in the overall system,” said Fraser Wilson, president of the Ontario Long Term Care Association (OLTCA), which rep- resents 10 of Durham’s 12 private nurs- ing homes. Earlier this year, both the OLTCA and the OANHSS pushed for the Province to increase funding for nursing and personal care by $750 million over three years, with half of that money to be spent immediately. Ms. Rubin said the $100 million an- nounced Wednesday adds up to only 15 minutes more nursing and personal care per day for residents. However, Ms. Rubin said she was encouraged by another announcement made by the Province Wednesday: it will review the existing “comfort al- lowance” given to low-income residents who live in subsidized spaces in nursing homes. Currently, those residents only re- ceive $112 per month for personal use, such as going to the hairdresser or to visit friends. Ms. Rubin said, despite in- flation, that monthly stipend hasn’t in- creased in a decade. While the Province hasn’t decided what a new allowance might be, Ms. Hamilton said it’s “our first priority right now”. A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 4, 2002 NO DUCTWORK?

Only the basic daily rate of $44.51 for a wardroom (generally four-person) is going up, to $47.53. Asked whether the Province is also considering upping the premiums for preferred accommodations, Ministry of Long Term Care spokesman Lynne Hamilton said: “Not at this time.” New monthly rents in Durham nursing homes Accommodation Currently As of Sept. 1 Basic $1,353.73 $1,445.58 Semi-Private* $1,597.06 $1,688.91 Private** $1,901.20 $1,993.05 *Basic rate plus $8 daily premium **Basic rate plus $18 daily premium CHANGES from page 1 Fees to expect in Durham Region DURHAM ––Police and family members fear for the safety of a 57- year-old Oshawa man who disap- peared a week ago. Leslie Shaw was last seen leaving his Simcoe Street South residence July 25 at 6 a.m. He suffers from depression and needs med- ication, said Durham Re- gional Police. Mr. Shaw has no history of going missing. Mr. Shaw is white, 5-foot-8, 220 pounds, with a heavy build, fair com- plexion, and short grey hair. He was un- shaven and is missing several teeth. He was last seen wearing a blue button- down shirt, blue jeans, grey shoes and a GM ring. He is be- lieved to be dri- ving a blue 1992 Chevrolet Lumina with a dent to the pas- senger side door and li- cence plate AJEN-721.

Store clerks charged in unrelated incidents DURHAM —Two convenience store clerks, in Pickering and Whitby, are charged with sexual assault after young girls re- ceived unwanted kisses in unrelated inci- dents. Durham Regional Police said a 15-year- old Pickering girl went into Mac’s Milk, at 893 Bayly St., Thursday morning and asked the clerk for 25 cents for the pay phone. As the man handed her a quarter, he allegedly grabbed and hugged the teen, then planted a kiss on her cheek, police said. The girl reported the incident to police and an employee was arrested a short time later. Charged with sexual assault is Syed Ashiq Hussain, 65, of Toronto. The accused, who is from India, was de- tained for a bail hearing and is being investigated for possibly being in the country illegally, police said. Meanwhile, a 12-year-old said she was making a purchase at Jac’s Milk, on Roe- buck Street in Brooklin, when the clerk grabbed her cheeks, “told her she was pretty and kissed her on the mouth,” said Sergeant Paul Malik. She pulled away from the man and fled. The alleged incident happened about 4 p.m. July 19 and was reported to police two days later. Sunilchandra Shaw, 38, of Markham, was charged Wednesday with sexual assault and sexual interference. He was released on a promise to appear in Oshawa court Aug. 29.

The building, which will be a mir- ror image of the recently completed Veridian building located west of the property, will be the new home of 3,350 square feet of business and of- fice space. “This highlights the importance of improving the tax ratio for Pickering,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “It will help change the inequity in the base of taxation.” Right now, Coun. Brenner said the ratio of the residential tax base to the industrial-commercial tax base sits at around 80:20. That’s a number he and others find unacceptable and unfair to homeown- ers. “We need to set a realistic target, something like 70:30,” he said. “We want to reduce the burden on the resi- dential taxpayers.” However, Mayor Wayne Arthurs asked council to keep things in per- spective and reminded them a change in the ratio, which is not that easy to attain considering continued residen- tial construction in the City, does not necessarily mean an increase in rev- enues. “You can build three, four or five of these buildings and you’re not going to change the ratio in any substantial way,” he said, adding there is “a dif- ferent picture” to look at. He said the commercial-industrial sector accounts for a high percentage of the actual tax dollars collected each year. Regardless, councillors were buoyed by the idea of new construc- tion in the downtown core. “This brings an intensity to the downtown core that is necessary,” said Ward 3 Councillor David Pickles. CITY from page 1 GM sales up slightly in July DURHAM ––General Motors of Canada experienced a small increase in vehicle sales during July. The company delivered 38,351 ve- hicles last month, an increase of 3.7 per cent over July 2001. Car sales dropped 2.3 per cent to 19,838 units but truck sales soared 11.1 per cent to 18,513. “With calendar year-to-date sales al- ready up by almost 10 per cent and an- other increase in sales this month, our momentum is unstoppable — GM is truly on a roll,” said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales,service and mar- keting. The Oshawa-built Buick Regal saw sales jump 10.1 per cent during July. To date this year, car sales for GM are up 7.6 per cent to 158,091 while truck sales have increased 12 per cent to 144,188. That makes a combined increase of 9.7 per cent for the first seven months of this year, compared to the same peri- od in 2001. Bulk of customers left in the dark were in the west BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM —About 10,000 cus- tomers in Pickering –– and a handful in Ajax –– were without power for sever- al hours Tuesday. Two supply feeders coming out of Toronto and owned by Hydro One, the provincial entity in charge of the trans- mission service in Ontario, malfunc- tioned around 1 p.m. Veridian president John Wiersma said a flashover, arcing from one cir- cuit to the other, caused the blackout. “All repairs related to the blackout were made overnight by Hydro One,” Mr. Wiersma said Wednesday morn- ing. Most of the customers affected were in an area west from Whites Road to the Scarborough border and from Lake Ontario north of Finch Avenue. Another area affected was bounded by Brock Road and Duffins Creek and from Finch to the 3rd Concession. Half the customers had power re- stored within four hours, Mr. Wiersma noted, while the remainder had hydro back after six hours. Until Hydro One repaired the cir- cuits, Veridian rerouted power from other sources, he noted. “It took time during the heat wave,” Mr. Wiersma said. “These circuits had limited capacity.” In Ajax, there was a “minor prob- lem” that left about 150 customers in south Ajax without power for about four hours Tuesday, he stated, when a high voltage connector on a trans- former failed. Aside from the outages, Veridian hasn’t had a problem with having enough power during the heat wave. The Independent Electricity Market Operator (IMO) asked consumers Tuesday to reduce energy consumption during the high temperatures and hu- midity. “The heat and humidity are expect- ed to push power demands to near record levels. By reducing electricity use, consumers can help ease the strain on the system and benefit the environ- ment at the same time,” IMO chief ex- ecutive officer and president Dave Goulding said at the time. Mr. Wiersma said Veridian didn’t have a problem meeting demand. “We’ve had no problem with re- spect to loading capacity,” he noted. Problems the IMO has are with “generating capacity,” Mr. Wiersma said. “They’re importing 10 per cent of their power from out of the province. With our system, there’s no problem.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 4, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE A FRESH START Professional and Personalized Service Free Confidential Consultation CLARKE HENNING INC.

It happened to me when I met Pilgrim George Walter recently. Truly fascinating. He’s spent his life in quiet contemplation and prayer, serving his Lord. I’m not a re- ligious guy, so his giving his life over to God wasn’t the pull for me. It’s his life. He’s essentially a modern-day monk. During the summer he walks and in the winter, he lives as a ‘pous- tinik’, the Russian word for hermit. In his life, Pilgrim George or Walker George, has trod in 40 countries and covered 50,000 kilometres. He was in Pickering for World Youth Day, having walked most of the way from Grand Rapids, Michi- gan. Pilgrim George said he lives a life of solitude and silence. (Don’t we all know someone we wish would live that life?) He’s made two pilgrim- ages to Jerusalem, including one that started in Pittsburgh and took him through Russia and India. He found his calling early in life and has never questioned it. He’s happy, healthy, seemingly untroubled by the day-to-day minutia the rest of us get caught up with — a better car, nicer clothes, trips, bigger houses, and so on. Pilgrim George lives the life of “evangelical poverty”. He made his sandals nine years ago out of old tires and they look to have a few thousand more kilometres of tread left. His robe is a patchwork of old jeans given to him by others. After leaving Pilgrim George, my mind began racing, coming up with dozens of other questions I should have asked but hadn’t thought of. Does he carry money? Does he have a family and if so, does he have con- tact with them? How did he come to be in Grand Rapids? What got me was his living out- side the mainstream, living on his own terms. He struck me as the ulti- mate loner. I can relate, preferring to be alone once the workday ends. Ac- tually, I’m not so much a loner as a recluse. It’s not possible to turn one’s back completely on the rest of hu- manity. Let’s just say I prefer to turn sideways. In all likelihood, I’ll never see or hear from Pilgrim George again. That’s my loss. He’s the sort of per- son one would like to have more con- tact with. But, it’s really not his way. Nor is it mine. Unfortunately, we may not see his like again Pilgrim George, with 50,000 kilometres of living under his belt, leaves you wanting more Keith Gilligan Staff Writer kgilligan@durhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 4, 2002 We have to build journey of peace To the editor: The Canadian Muslim community viewed Pope John Paul II’s Toronto visit as an historic event. The visit reminded us of the pontiff’s desire, expressed a few years ago, to initiate dialogue between the adher- ents of various faiths. Although it never ma- terialized, the concept deserves serious at- tention particularly as it comes from the supreme leader of the Catholic Church — a voice commanding much attention and re- spect around the world. As followers of Abrahamic religions, we strongly believe it is our moral and spiritual responsibility to overcome obstacles by building bridges of understanding among each other. This historic occasion calls for different faith groups to explore and discuss the mechanism of peace in this climate of resurging militarism, brinkmanship and CNN. The challenges and opportunities facing the monotheistic religions provide epoch- making prospects to open the doors of un- derstanding. From a Muslim perspective, there is a compelling human bond that binds all of us together, wherein the Koran calls God’s creation a family. And, as a family, we can better serve God’s purposes in the wider world by reaching out beyond our own community for the common good of all. This approach does not diminish our faith but rather enhances it. An important priority is the potential of various faith groups to work together for peace and jus- tice.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 4, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com First, the good news: smog advisories for Durham Region are down this year compared to last year. Now, the bad news: this past July was the second hottest on record and the issue of global warming isn’t showing any sign of going away anytime soon. The intense heat suggests the fight to control smog will be ongoing for the foreseeable future. What’s distressing is 50 per cent of the pollution that creates Durham smog comes from south of the border. With the U.S. unwilling to commit to pollution reduction as called for by the Kyoto Protocol, that 50 per cent isn’t likely to fall off. Continued negotiation between Canada and the United States to reduce pollution is the only answer for this half of the problem. As to the other half of the smog/air quality equation, the Province, Durham Region, local businesses and car drivers alike must work together. Ajax, Oshawa and Durham have joined with other Ontario municipalities to commit to cleaning our air. “We thought as a region, it was time for us to clean up our act as well,” said Regional Councillor Larry O’Connor, who is chairman of Durham’s health and social services committee. “It’s one of those cases where we have to act locally to clean up globally. “That’s where things like our transportation plan make a difference.” Some of the ideas and initiatives to beat smog here include improving and encouraging public transit co-ordination and providing a choice of transit options to reduce air emissions. Water efficiency is another key element in conserving and im- proving our environment. Official Plan policies in each municipality as well as the re- gion as a whole are being eyed carefully to make sure they are environmentally friendly. Pesticide education and the move to reduce cosmetic pesticides are part of an overall effort to pro- duce cleaner air. In the end, the best way local municipalities and the Region can ensure an improved atmosphere is to lead by example. New vehicle purchases should emphasize a clear commitment to the highest environmental standards. Businesses need to be encouraged to burn cleaner fuels or face penalties under law. And each citizen has to consider the effect on the air we all breathe when looking at energy consumption and transit choices. It’s up to all of us to make a difference. Heat, smog just not letting up It’s up to all of us to improve troubling trend shown last few years NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 4, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM - Almost every working day, someone in Ontario dies on the job. From students taking a summer job to older workers with years of experience, death still strikes all too often in our workplaces. In 2001, the Workers Safety and Insurance Board logged 359,000 complaints in Ontario, said Maureen Shaw, president and chief ex- ecutive officer of the Industrial Accident Pre- vention Association, which represents 17,000 firms, with 1.2 million employees. Of those complaints, 300 involved deaths of workers, almost one every working day. Just the year before, 16 young people (ages 16 to 24) died on the job. Those sobering statistics underscore the importance of workplace health and safety, Ms. Shaw says. Just the financial cost alone is staggering. “It’s cost the WSIB over $2 billion last year in benefits for injuries and deaths,” she said. The indirect costs, mostly to employers, are about 10 times that. “The cost to society is about $20 billion and that’s just cold, calculated costs. Look at the societal and emotional costs. Those are immeasurable,” she said. “You start to see the significance of it.” Rick Williams, of Durham Region Injured Workers, sees those immeasurable impacts of workplace injuries. He and his organization, which has been in existence since the 1980s, get the phone calls from workers who’ve been injured and are having trouble getting compensation or in returning to work. “I have approximately 500 (files) in the office now,” he said. There are many more who don’t need his organization’s help or don’t know about it. “A lot of people don’t understand how a work injury can affect them and their whole family and the rest of their lives. A work in- jury can certainly change their whole life.” Many of the people he sees work in one of two sectors - manufacturing and health care. By far the biggest concerns to him are nursing homes. Workers there are lifting, bending, pulling and twisting many times a day. Staff cutbacks mean fewer workers are caring for more people, he said. “It’s a tough job. It’s just too much for them. It’s setting them up to be hurt,” he said. Back, shoulder and arm injuries are common in the health care industry. Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), re- sulting from “constant, repetitive motions,” are big in the manufac- turing industry, he said. RSIs are big in many work- places, from the factory to the of- fice, said Ms. Shaw. They are some of the “new” injuries that have cropped up with new technology. “We’re seeing a whole new kind of stress and strains in the workplace,” she said. “We’re seeing an increase in stress in the workplace as well. The stress people have at work, they take home. The stress they have at home, they take to work.” Downsizing in the workplace and the re- sulting increased workload and an emphasis on being more competitive can lead to stress, she said. Traditional injuries are still present, even though the injury rate has been cut by 40 per cent, she added. “We’re still seeing people caught in ma- chinery and losing body parts,” she said. “We’re still seeing people falling off ladders. We’re still seeing people slipping on floors. We’re still seeing people overexerting them- selves and injuring themselves.” Strains, sprains, cuts, bruises and falls continue to happen. “It’s frustrating, really. We really do know how to prevent these injuries,” she said. Physical health, too, can be damaged at the workplace. “Years ago, we didn’t know about things such as asbestos,” she said. “We know now it can kill and it is still killing us.” Hazardous chemicals, poor air quality in closed buildings and radiation are just some things that can lead to diseases, she said. “There’s a lot left for us to learn.” And a lot to pay for employers. The average lost-time injury costs $59,000, with only $12,000 of that in benefits. The rest is chalked up to lost production, property damage, man- ager and supervisor time, compliance costs for labour ministry orders and reduced em- ployee produc- tivity while on light duty, ac- cording to ‘Business Results Through Health and Safe- ty,’a new document produced by the Canadi- an Manufacturers and Exporters Ontario As- sociation and the WSIB. The document states a business operating at a 6.9 per cent profit margin would need nearly $1 million in sales to make up that price. Workers and employers share the respon- sibility for a safe workplace, although the onus is on employers to ensure the health and safety of their employees. “There should be an awareness about the health and safety regulations in the work- place, what to do in case an accident hap- pens,” said Mr. Williams. Workers need to know their responsibili- ties and their employers’responsibilities and make sure everyone does what they’re sup- posed to, he said. Employers, in particular, need “to start thinking about their employees more than the bottom line,” he said. Ms. Shaw said employers actually have to start thinking of their employees as that bot- tom line. “People have to be treated like a commod- ity, like money,” she said. The most important factor in a safe work- place is the leadership of the organization, Ms. Shaw said. A commitment to health and safety from the top works its way to the employees. “It has to be inte- grated into overall operations of your organization,” she said. Staying safe on the job Rules and regulations are necessary in the workplace to ensure the safety of workers. Here are some basic tips on how to keep safe and healthy at work: • Understand your rights. • You have the right to know about haz- ards in the workplace and how to protect yourself. • You have the right to participate in making your job and workplace safe. • You have the right to refuse an unsafe job. Know how to use that right. • Know the location of the nearest first aid kit. • Know which co-workers are trained in first aid and CPR. • Know emergency phone numbers. • Know who your health and safety rep- resentative is.

New studies find moderate alcohol consumption can be beneficial to older adults BY CECIL SCAGLIONE Special to the News Advertiser Let’s drink to your health. You’ll feel better be- cause, according to results of a study published in a re- cent issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medi- cine, moderate drinkers ap- pear to be healthi- er than former drinkers and lifelong ab- stainers. Also, lifelong ab- stainers were less likely to seek preven- tive care or take other bene- ficial health-care measures, much the same pattern of health behaviour seen in heavy drinkers. “Compared to people with other drinking statuses, light-to-moderate drinkers may be more likely to en- gage in preventive health- care-service use and slight- ly more likely to try to im- prove various health behav- iours,” said study team members Caral Green and Michael Plen of the Kaiser Permanente’s Center for Health Research. Ex-drinkers also were a little less healthy than life- long teetotallers, suggesting they may have stopped drinking because of ill health. Moderation is the key. Heavy drinkers tended to have more medical prob- lems than the lighter drinkers and had worse health behaviours, such as smoking and avoiding doc- tor’s visits. The study compiled data from more than 3,800 Kaiser mem- bers respond- ing to a postal survey. Con- sidered as heavy drinkers were those re- spondents who had more than 60 drinks a month. In a recently completed six-year study in Europe, in which moderate drinkers were categorized as those who had one to three drinks a day, it was concluded that people over 55 who con- sumed alcohol moderately each day had a 42-per cent less chance of developing dementia than their peers who did not drink. Those who did not drink daily but had more than one drink a week had a 25-per cent lower risk, and those who drank less than a glass of beer, liquor or wine a week had an 18-per cent lower risk of developing de- mentia. According to another re- cent study, heavy drinkers older than 50 are more like- ly to be disabled. “A history of problem drinking, especially when combined with recent heavy drinking, is associated with greater prevalence and inci- dence of limitations in home and/or work tasks in the near elderly popula- tion,” said study authors Jan Postermann and Frank Sloan of Duke University. They found problem drinkers are nearly one- third more likely to report limitations in their ability to perform work or home functions compared with in- dividuals who do not have a history of problem drinking. This six-year study based its results on data compiled on nearly 10,000 participants aged 51 to 62. The researchers conclud- ed the increased incidence of disability was most likely a product of problem drink- ing because “we found no evidence that people in- creased alcohol consump- tion in response to anticipat- ed disability.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 4, 2002 PAGE 9 A/P We’re “hear” to help!We’re “hear” to help!

ForeverForever YOUNG Study says coffee may help stave off Alzheimer’s Results are first to show link to human subjects That morning coffee may be just what the doctor or- dered for Alzheimer’s pa- tients. New research shows that drinking three cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by as much as 60 per cent. Reports from the faculty of medicine in Lisbon, Portugal, state healthy elderly people, with no sign of brain disease, had consumed an average three to four cups of coffee daily since age 25. Others, with debilitat- ing illness, drank just one cup of coffee a day on average. Scientists believe it is the caffeine that protects against Alzheimer’s. Laboratory experiments on mice in the past have pointed to caffeine as a potential treat- ment for the disease. This is the first study to show a link to human subjects. The U.K. Alzheimer’s Soci- ety, however, urged caution in interpreting the findings. “All we can conclude is that long-term caffeine intake may be having a protective effect,” said director Dr. Richard Har- vey. Findings from the Por- tuguese studies were pub- lished in the European Journal of Neurology.

Toby Saltzman is a freelance travel writer, editor and publisher of the travel Web site, www.travel- terrific.com. Her globe-trotting job takes her to destinations around the world and requires her to spend countless hours on her feet, visit- ing various tourist and cultural at- tractions. After years of experience caring for and treating her feet, Saltzman has some basic tips on how to keep them healthy and happy, no matter where travellers adventure to this summer. 1. Wear comfortable walking or athletic shoes. It may sound simple, but wear- ing comfortable shoes is essential when spending hours of vacation time on your feet. Comfortable shoes can help to alleviate the dis- comfort caused by corns and cal- luses and help to prevent blisters. For those travellers with corns and calluses, plan to see your podi- atrist before embarking on your trip. You may wish to ease the dis- comfort by packing over-the- counter cushion treatments to pro- tect feet. Blisters are one of the most common travelling foot injuries. Avoid missing out on enjoyable vacation excursions by using over- the-counter treatments to help heal and prevent blisters. In addition, comfortable shoes with proper arch support delay the occurrence of tired, achy feet, a common culprit that hampers the enjoyment of travel activities, such as hiking. Many over-the-counter insoles and devices can improve the arch support of a shoe, allow- ing for more “on your feet” time. 2. Do not pack shoes that need to be broken in. Always avoid shoes that require a break-in period and instead, pur- chase shoes that feel comfortable right away. This also applies to packing for a vacation. If the shoes hurt your feet at home, they’ll hurt on the road as well. Always be conscious of how vigorous the va- cation activity is and how comfort- able your shoes are. 3. If shoes do not have suffi- cient padding or support, im- prove the performance by adding inserts. Quite often the shoes that ‘best match’ a vacation outfit — whether for an afternoon shopping in New York City or an evening of entertainment on a cruise ship — are not beneficial to our foot health. Wear shoes that support feet, allowing for ease of move- ment wherever your vacation ad- venture takes you. For additional support, there are a variety of over-the-counter in- serts that provide additional cush- ioning and support. 4. Soak your feet nightly. Treating feet each night with a specially designed foot bath will help ease the discomfort of tired, achy feet. It also moisturizes and softens corns, calluses and rough, hard skin; a luxurious comfort that can be enjoyed in the privacy of a hotel room. It prepares your feet for a com- fortable travel adventure the fol- lowing day. 5. Moisturize and exfoliate your feet. This can help to reduce the buildup of dead skin that results in corns and calluses. It is also a nice, relaxing treat at the end of a long day of sightseeing. There are lo- tions that provide a soothing pep- permint fragrance. — News Canada Rested feet are happy feet, especially when you want to make the most of a summer vacation by tak- ing in the sights. What can we do to shorten the long waiting lists for surgery? How can we stop the massive increases in the cost of health care? Politicians and health care workers continue to struggle with this dilemma. They always conclude that more money is the answer. But this ap- proach is doomed to failure. How can it work when it’s taken 40,000 years for humans to get into such horrible shape? How did it happen? And is there a solu- tion? Dr. Barry Bogin is a professor of an- thropology at the University of Michi- gan. He says we all envision our Pale- olithic ancestors as being short, bent- over people with small brains. Actually they were a tad taller with brains as large as ours. And if alive today they would not require hospitalization for so much degenerative disease. Admittedly most stone-age people did not live as long as today’s North Americans. Large num- bers died hunting animals or from infec- tion due to lack of antibiotics. Others suffered terrible deaths from childbirth. But those who escaped these problems did not, later in life, face cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension or obesi- ty, today’s big killers. What protected them? Ironically it was the things they lacked that saved them. No guaranteed three meals a day so they had to continually exert them- selves to find food. Dr. Bogin reports that today most people expend only 400 calories to com- plete the day’s chores. Cars, television sets and computers don’t burn up calo- ries. Stone age people lost 1,600 calories hunting and gathering food. This, along with the absence of fast-food outlets and supermarkets, kept them thin, a major factor in preventing degenerative dis- ease. Possibly their major protection was a lack of sugar. The only source of pure sugar was honey, not easy to get, and only available in certain areas a few months of the year. Today we consume 20 teaspoons of sugar daily which trans- lates into 146,000 calories a year and 42 pounds of body fat if it’s not burned up by exercise. Stone-age people also lacked excessive sodium. They con- sumed about 1,000 milligrams of sodi- um daily. Today we use from 4,000 to 6,000 mg every day, one reason why hy- pertension is a leading cause of death. And, Paleos didn’t eat significant amounts of saturated fat even in areas where game was abundant. The bison that roamed the prairies were thin and what fat they contained was largely un- saturated fat. In fact, Dr. Bogin says some of their fat was omega-3 fatty acids, the kind found in fish. We can learn from our ancient an- cestors by eating whole wheat bread, bran cereals, adding more fruit and veg- etables to our diet, drinking milk and above all, saying no to drinks laden with sugar.

Allergies and their compli- cations take a significant toll on student’s attendance and perfor- mance in school. Studies show that allergic rhinitis is responsible for up to 200,000 lost school days annually, which translates into 1,000 absences per school annual- ly. Antihistamines are typical- ly recommended to treat allergies. There are many different brands of antihistamines but they all belong in two classes. The older, first generation antihistamines typically bring relief for about three to six hours. Unfortunately, their formulations also bring many side effects including drowsiness. The newer, second genera- tion antihistamines have a differ- ent molecular structure from the older antihistamines. They can relieve allergy symptoms for up to 24 hours - so you can take them once a day. And newer, learning friendly, antihistamines that are non-drowsy which help you per- form tasks like studying and writ- ing tests that require alertness. Make sure, however, to read the medication package properly because not all antihistamines are non-sedating. This is important as recent studies show that students with seasonal allergic rhinitis taking a sedating antihistamine performed significantly worse than allergy- free students on exams measuring factual, conceptual knowledge and knowledge of application. ADVERTISING FEATURE However, students taking non-sedative anti- histamines performed significantly better. infodurhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 4, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P MONDAY, AUG. 5 WOMEN’S SHELTER FUND-RAISER: Pickering Playing Fields, 1610 Bayly St., is donating the proceeds from today’s busi- ness to the new West Durham women’s shelter, Lighthouse.

Klein, B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist-Foot Specialist Shin Splints/More Than Just A Pain In The Leg Shin Splints have come to represent two different prob- lems, one of which is periositis and the other is minute tears of the lower leg muscles that attach to the tibial bone. Both are relat- ed to over use syndromes or ab- normal gait. Periositis involves small tears of the lining of the tibia bone. Pain is usually worse at the beginning of the workout and diminishes as the exercise continues. Activities that in- volve a lot of ankle angulation (dorsiflexion) such as stair or hill climbing exacerbate the dis- comfort. Usually there is diffuse tenderness along the medial (in- side) border of the tibia bone. Involvement of the muscles has two variations medially (tib- ialis posterior) and laterally (tib- ialis anterior). The tibialis pos- terior runs on the inside of the leg. It is an anti-pronator mus- cle that prevents the lower leg and foot from pronating exces- sively. However, with excessive pronation (in activities like run- ning and high impact aerobics) the posterior tibialis is then forced to stretch to prevent tears in the muscle. This will cause tenderness in the lower third of the leg. The tibialis anterior muscle runs down the outside of the leg. It is not as often involved in symptoms of shin splints. Correcting abnormal prona- tion and advising the patient to avoid over use activities can prevent skin splints from occur- ring. The jogger should be ad- vised to run on softer surfaces, wear shoes that cushion the heel and control pronation and to avoid jogging downhill. Gait analysis and a pre- scribed orthotic to control pronation will treat the problem if and when preventative treat- ments fail. It may also be neces- sary to relax the symptoms of in- flammation. Rest, ice and phys- iotherapy will help. Failure to treat the problem can lead to a rupture of the ten- don or even a stress fracture of the tibia or fibula. Always re- member that pain is your body’s way of sending a signal that a problem exists. There is nothing worse then to believe NO PAIN - NO GAIN.

Darshan MistryBASKIN ROB BI NS Product and Packaging Stewardship Re- view, an information service for municipal governments, reported in its July issue mu- nicipalities would save money if liquor bottles did not have to be collected in the blue box, but rather, were recovered through another system such as deposit re- turn. Durham Region receives an annual pay- ment from the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), ostensibly to offset glass-recycling costs. The amount last year was $137,000. If a deposit return system were to be established, Durham would save more than that in operating expenses, which are comprised of net blue box costs, garbage collection, and disposal ex- penses. The annual LCBO pay- ments, which help cut a mu- nicipality’s ex- penses approxi- mately in half, were instituted a few years ago by the provin- cial govern- ment. Recently, Ontario MPP Mike Colle brought in a pri- vate member’s bill calling for a deposit-return system to be set up at LCBO stores by July 2003. Bill 125 was formally intro- duced June 24, just a few days before Bill 90 (The Waste Di- version Act) re- ceived royal as- sent and became law. With a 2001 profit of more than $900 mil- lion, Mr. Colle stated the LCBO can well afford to set up a deposit-return recycling program that could save money in the long run for the LCBO and for municipalities stuck with tonnes of glass that these days is difficult to recycle and has few markets for revenue. The previous week, Mr. Colle criticized the government and Bill 90 for its failure to address recycling costs borne by munic- ipalities. ❑ ❑ ❑ South of the border, a GrassRoots Re- cycling Network (GRRN) took its cam- paign, a Pepsi-Coke Challenge, to Wash- ington to coincide with efforts to bring na- tional deposit legislation to the United States. The challenge asks citizens which com- pany, Pepsi or Coke, is better for the envi- ronment? The GRRN asks a number of key questions and the results will be tabu- lated and distributed nationally. They are: ‘Which company has a solu- tion for the 114 billion beverage containers wasted every year in the U.S.?’ and ‘Which company has pledged its support for Senate Bill 2220, (a performance stan- dard of 80 per cent container recovery), the National Beverage Producer Responsi- bility Act?’ Now there’s a challenge! ❑ ❑ ❑ Metro Hall provides the venue Sept. 20 to 21, for ‘Extended producer responsibil- ity, taking it back — the next generation of 3Rs’.

Midget boys claim provincial ‘B’softball crown with undefeated record PICKERING — Pickering Heat midget boys’ softball team was hot at the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA) ‘B’ Division Championship in Grafton, Ont. last weekend. The Heat went undefeated to secure the title, edging Stratford 6-4 in the final. Pickering scorched Stratford for two runs early in the game on an RBI-triple by Anthony Par- adiso, who also managed to come home on a single by Jason Carey. Pickering added to its lead in the fourth inning, push- ing three more runs across to take a commanding 5-0 lead. Stratford scored two runs on a home run in the fourth, and once more in each of the fifth and sixth innings. Pickering scored one more run in the seventh. The battery of pitcher Andrew Scott and catcher Billy Keith shone during the contest. The boys showed great defensive skills during all the games. The midgets faced the Kana- ta Pirates in their opening game, winning 5-0. Scott pitched a one-hitter, striking out 13 bat- ters. Conor McTernan scored two runs, and Ryan Frederick, Paradiso and Kenny Cooke added one apiece. Pickering’s next game was against Kitchener Kolts. Scott threw a one-hitter, with 10 strikeouts, in an 8-0 win. McTer- nan and Scott each scored a pair of runs, Chris MacLeod, Ryan Frederick, Paradiso and Carey added one apiece. The following day, Pickering faced local league rival Oshawa. Heat bats were hot and the boys were able to mercy Oshawa in six innings, 7-0. Crossing the plate were MacLeod and Scott (twice each) and Paradiso, Brent Ashby and Keith. This is the first Provincial championship for this group of players, many of whom have played fastball for 10 years. Other team members are Steven Valentini and Jeff Magee. Doug Scott, Ray McTernan and Norm MacLeod coach the team. The manager is Liz Keith.

Henry fourth in Games’ relay City resident has a hand in decorated sprinter’s final international race PICKERING — Pickering’s Anson Henry made his last event at the 2002 Commonwealth Games a memorable one. Running Wednesday for Canada in the men’s 4-x-100-metre relay final at the City of Manchester Stadium, the 23- year-old sprinter teamed with Charles Allen, Jermaine Joseph and decorated Canadian sprinter Bruny Surin, compet- ing in his last international race for Canada before retiring. Allen got a fine start to put Canada in third spot, with Henry, running the sec- ond leg, and Joseph keeping the Canadi- ans in the bronze-medal position head- ing into the anchor leg run by Surin. The Montrealer, who has run sporadically this track season due to injury, however, was overtaken by an Australian runner for third place in a close finish. The Canadians ran the relay in 38.94 seconds, a personal-best time for the foursome, finishing just back of the Aussies in 38.87. England won in 38.83. To get to the final, the Canadian four- some of Nicolas Macrozonaris, Pierre Browne, Henry and Surin ran to third place in the semifinal Tuesday, in a time of 39.51 seconds. Allen and Joseph took over in the final for Macrozonaris and Browne, owing to injury and fatigue from earlier in the week in the 100m event. In an interview from Manchester ear- lier this week, Henry, a senior at Wash- ington State University in Pullman, Wash., noted he, too, was feeling fa- tigued after a long collegiate season fol- lowed by extensive training leading up to the Games. But, ultimately, Henry was called upon to compete in the semifinal and final. He and Surin were the only mem- bers of the Canadian team to compete in both races. One of the many rookie sprinters making their international debuts, Henry noted prior to the Games, running in the relay with Surin would be a special treat. “It’s going to be cool having Bruny on the team. It should be cool to get ad- vice from someone who has been where I want to be,”he said. Henry’s strong performance in the relay will hopefully dull his disappoint- ment suffered early in the week in the semifinal of the men’s 100m. A slow start ultimately placed him seventh in the heat and 11th overall in a time of 10.34, keeping him out of the final. He owns a personal best mark of 10.17.

Check Wednesday’s paper each week for complete details DURHAM — Riders from the Ajax and Picker- ing pony clubs are at the Central Ontario Pony Club Regional ‘D’ Rally at Glen Oro Farm, near Orillia, today (Sunday). ‘Rally’ is the pony club term for eventing, an Olympic discipline in which competitors must ride a formal dressage test, followed by a cross-country or endurance phase across open country and over fixed obstacles, and then finish with a stadium jumping competition. Scoring is done on a penalty points basis, with all errors, re- fusals, rails down and falls counted as penalties. Penal- ties are also incurred for taking too much time, or too little, to finish the cross- country phase. The rider with the fewest penalties wins. The ‘D’in D Rally refers to the minimum level riders must have passed in the pony club testing system to enter. There are actually three ‘D’ levels: D, D1 and D2. To get each of these levels, riders must pass a written examination in horsemanship, an oral test of stable management and a riding test. Each level com- petes in a different division at D rally, with dressage tests, fence heights in both stadium and cross-country phases, and time allowed adjusted to skill levels. Glen Oro Farm, a well- known eventing facility, is on Oro Line 10. Competi- tion starts at 8 a.m. Specta- tors are welcome without charge. Ajax, Pickering pony clubs ride highs and lows today Careers505 ALLSTATE-Looking for a ca- reer in Insurance Sales?

IN MEMORY OF TREVOR LEROY WHITE SEPTEMBER 4, 1977 - AUGUST 5, 1994 My dishes went unwashed today, I didn’t make the bed, I took his hand and followed Where his eager footsteps led. Oh yes, we went adventuring, My little son and I... Exploring all the great outdoors Beneath the summer sky. We waded in a crystal stream, We wandered through a wood... My kitchen wasn’t swept today But life was gay and good. We found a cool, sun-dappled glade And now my small son knows How Mother Bunny hides her nest, Where jack-in-the-pulpit grows. We watched a robin feed her young, We climbed a sunlit hill... Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky, We plucked a daffodil. That my house was neglected, That I didn’t brush the stairs, in twenty years, no one on earth Will know or even care. But that I’ve helped my little boy To noble manhood grow, In twenty years, the whole wide world May look and see and know. I TOOK HIS HAND AND FOLLOWED 258 In Memoriam 258 In Memoriam 715 Moving and Storage CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT JOB FOR YOU? CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?
