New home for flea market debated Pickering-based vendors could be in new location by next summer BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Should all go as planned, repre- sentatives from the builders of the proposed new home for the Pickering Markets say they can be up and run- ning by June, 2003. At a public meeting regarding rezoning of the new site Thursday evening, Sal Crimi of SC Land Manage- ment, a consultant representing Invar Building Corpo- ration, said they would be “quite happy” to turn their empty lot at the corner of Squires Beach Road and Bayly Street into the new home for Canada’s largest flea and antique market. That is if Charter Hall, the company that runs the markets, is willing. However, Charter Hall has still not completed ne- gotiations to release them- selves from agreements with the owners of the Metro East Trade Centre, the markets’ current home, which is expected be torn down in February and re- placed by big box retail outlets. Without Charter Hall’s release,Invar cannot finalize negotiations with the com- pany to become the markets’new home.

Durham Regional Police said a 39-year-old inmate was at- tacked by two others in a com- mon area while waiting to be moved into the protective unit. He was repeatedly punched and kicked in the head before guards arrived and stopped the assault, police said. The man was taken to hospi- tal with a serious eye injury that required a specialist, a bloody nose and a large cut to his eye- lid. Benny Stephen Watters, 37, and Shawn Ivan Strong, 25, were charged. SAL CRIMI ‘Quite happy’to see flea market on Bayly Street location.

East Shore ready for extra traffic with closure of Oshawa facility BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer DURHAM ––While Os- hawa boaters received sink- ing news this week their ma- rina will close, other facilities in the region should be able to keep them afloat. The Oshawa Harbour Commission rejected the Ma- rina Users Committee’s pro- posal to lease and manage the facility over 40 years. The commission is going ahead with plans to eliminate the full-service facility and turn it into a smaller, day-use only marina at the end of the boat- ing season. While some of the 160 berthless boaters have been looking elsewhere in the re- gion since the initial an- nouncement in May, others held on optimistically. “A lot of people were wondering if it was actually going to happen,” said Char- lie Taber, working foreman at Port Whitby Marina. “People are starting to move around a bit now.” The Whitby marina, a 370-slip recreational pleasure craft harbour, has welcomed 20 new boaters from Oshawa already and it’s about 85 per cent full. “We’re checking into things,” Mr. Taber said. “We’re doing what we can to find spots for people.” Depending on the size of the vessels, Port Whit- by may be able to handle a few more. Meanwhile, in the east end of the region Thursday afternoon, seven Oshawa boaters were getting a tour of Port Darlington Marina. Wayne Bloye of the mari- na showed the water enthusi- asts around and told This Week he has 20 slips avail- able to accommodate up to 30-foot vessels. He’s received around 20 inquiries so far. The Oshawa Harbour Commission’s decision was prompted by the need to seal off an old City dump that lies under the north end of the marina. In an effort to save the ma- rina, the Marina Users Com- mittee offered to pay the commission $80,000 plus $1 an acre in lease for the mari- na, said Don Walmsley, head of the commission. He added the marina assets are worth $200,000. The plan was based on operating two basins with room for 150 boats. The commission de- clined, saying the group’s offer wasn’t viable. It put for- ward its own proposal and asked the Marina Users Com- mittee for a counter offer by Aug. 15. One wasn’t re- ceived. “It’s kind of sad they’re not keeping it open,” said Sandy Murray, assistant man- ager for Port of Newcastle. The 260-slip Newcastle marina is around 70 to 80 per cent full and can accommo- date more boaters depending on the size of their vessel. It has signed 15 new boaters so far and staff has a list of names of people who’ve made inquiries. There’s some “who want- ed to wait to the bitter end,” Ms. Murray said. She sug- gested boaters put a deposit on a slip at a marina quickly or they could be up the creek. “If everybody’s waiting to the last minute who knows,” she said. She believes there’s room at Durham’s marinas for everyone. Mr. Bloye agreed, citing the openings at Whitby and Newcastle. The president of the 250- slip East Shore Marina in Pickering said he’s only had a few inquiries since most boaters are looking at finding new quarters in the eastern end of the region. However, East Shore can handle anoth- er 40 boats, Harold Hough noted. “There’s slips available, equipped and ready to roll.” Boaters looking for an al- ternative can call these Durham marinas: • East Shore Marina, Picker- ing: 905-839-5036 • Port of Newcastle, Newcas- tle: 905-987-5251 • Port Darlington Marina, Bowmanville: 905-623-4925 • Port Whitby Marina, Whit- by: 905-668-1900 — with files from Christy Chase NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 25, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P End of Summer CLEARANCE on all YORK and CARRIER Central Air Units IM M E D I A T E INS T A L L A T I O N INCREDIBLE SAVINGS!!!

Speak up next month on school funding DURHAM ––The Education Equality Task Force has some long days and nights ahead of it. Led by Dr. Mordechai Rozanski, the task force is conducting a review of the Province’s education funding formula.

If you don’t want to make a pre- sentation, but do want to comment on the provincial funding formula, send your submission to the task force by 5 p.m. on Sept. 30 via its Web site (www.ed- fundingreview.on.ca) or by mail.

Careless smoking cited in blaze AJAX — Ajax fire officials cite careless smoking as the cause of an early- morning blaze Thursday. Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices received a call just after mid- night, alerting them to a fire at 48 Pollard Cres. in the Pickering Village area, said Thom Evered. “The fire was contained to a second-floor bed- room,” said Mr. Evered, chief fire prevention officer for the service. “The lone occu- pant of the house escaped safely.” He advised smokers to ensure they properly dis- pose of cigarette butts. The fire was quickly brought under control and Mr. Evered esti- mated the damage at $20,000. lease prior to the Sept. 9 council meeting where they will consid- er granting final approval for new development on the trade centre site. In the meantime, vendors at the markets have asked all sides to try and ensure they can move seamlessly from the trade centre to their new home. Mr. Crimi said Invar is more than willing to do its part to en- sure a seamless transition, but added there are issues that need to be dealt with first, including improvements to Squires Beach Road and where exactly the money to pay for those improve- ments will come from. “We’ve heard talk of a seamless transi- tion and we’d like to co-operate if the deal goes through,but there are external improvements need- ed and those issues need to be dealt with,” said Mr. Crimi. “These issues need time to re- solve themselves.” If all is resolved quickly and Charter Hall signs a deal with Invar, Mr. Crimi says they could be ready to host the markets next summer. “I guess June is a possi- bility,” he said. “It’s aggressive but it’s do-able.” Allan Toms, a Bayly Street resident and the lone member of the public to attend the meeting, lives across from the markets’ proposed new home, and said he had some concerns about traffic. “What about a left turn lane on Bayly?” he asked. “You’d better build one or they’ll be backed up right up to Brock Road.” However, Regional Councillor Mark Holland, chair- man of the public meeting, said a traffic assessment of the area would be done to answer those concerns. “We’re trying to move this forward as quickly as possible,” he added. “We want to pursue the Pickering option (for the markets).” Mr. Crimi added with or with- out a deal with Charter Hall, Invar would still be proceeding with the application to bring the zoning of the property in line with the City’s official plan.

I do companion care for older adults. Two years ago my size dropped from a baggy XXL to a petite size six. I shed 95 pounds without dieting! I’ve kept my weight off ever since. It’s been effortless! This is my real-life story. I will reveal how I did it. Why I’m convinced my success is permanent. Why I think you can do it too. Pain & Unhappiness I was overweight nearly my entire life. Everything revolved around food. I was obsessed. I turned to food for comfort. It was my support when I was sad, tired or happy. I couldn’t control it. I spent my life living to eat. Carrying around an extra 95 pounds is a lot of work. I was always tired. One or two naps a day was my routine. I looked for excuses to stay home. I was hiding. There’s no way I could be happy like that. I was heavy, miserable and uncomfortable. My weight embarrassed me. I tried everything to lose my weight. I suffered through pre-packaged food and chalky shakes. I counted, weighed, measured and starved. I’ve done all the weird diets. The grapefruit, high protein, low fat, to name a few. Any crazy diet you can think of, I tried it. Diets don’t work. I lost my weight once with medication. I gained it all back plus 70 pounds. Dramatic Results When my weight exceeded my limit, I was desperate. I discovered Positive Changes Hypnosis on WNIS talk radio. They said I could have a free hypnosis screening. I was impressed right off the bat. The staff is friendly and caring. I expected a grueling sales pitch. There was none. The screening was fun and informative. There was no pressure. No need to sign a contract. The folks at PCH had my best interest at heart. I felt it then. I know it now. I signed up. To be honest, I didn’t lose my weight right away. I didn’t mind. My life was improving in astounding ways. It was easy to stay motivated. Suddenly my weight started dropping off me. The last 55 pounds melted off in five short months. Now my dress size is six petite. I lost my weight without dieting. No hunger, cravings or binges. It was fast and easy. I’ve exceeded my expectations. Pride and Joy I am extremely proud of my accomplishment. I can’t take all the credit though. Hypnosis made it easy. I have not had to deal with cravings and binges. No messing with diets, pills or pre-packaged food. Hypnosis made weight loss simple and straightforward. I recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis daily.I recommend it to everyone.

NEW from page 1 Dear parents of preschool chil- dren: please say an extra prayer when you tuck your little ones in tonight. I almost killed your daugh- ter. I almost killed your son. You may have warned them to stay close to home when you sent them out to play that warm summer afternoon. You may have warned them about crossing the street. If so, you should know this is a lesson they haven’t learned. It was a Friday; commuters were rushing home from work, minds on the weekend. The sidewalks were busy with people walking dogs, kids at play. Yours were among them. Driving home, I turned onto your street. I can’t explain the feeling of impending disaster that came over me, but it did, and I slowed down, going well under the posted limit of 40 km/h. I saw your children when I was still quite a distance from them. They were on the sidewalk, facing the road, not moving. One sat in a children’s car, a Fred Flintstone- type model with a high, narrow roof. A small blanket was draped over the roof of the car. A little boy wearing nothing but shorts and shoes stood beside it. I drove slowly up the street, and still they remained stationary, and I started to relax. Then, incredibly, when I was almost upon them, the child in the little car was on the move, headed for the opposite side- walk. The blanket draped over the car’s roof obscured the child’s vision to the left and to the right; yet the child made no attempt to check for traffic before heading out onto the road. And, far from shouting a warning, the boy simply followed. Somehow, I’d been expecting them. They crossed four feet in front of my bumper, while I waited as one might wait for a waddling family of ducks. When they were right in front of me, the boy reached out and plucked the blanket off the car, and I saw the driver was a little girl. When they had reached the oppo- site sidewalk safely, I rolled down my window and spoke gently, trying to solicit agreement that they would look both ways before crossing the street from now on. They simply stared. Dear parent, I left with absolute- ly no confidence your kids even re- alized what they’d done wrong. Please go over the rules of the road with them again tonight. Please assume these children were your own. Two careless kids might have been your own Judges must be accountable to us To the editor: Judges seem hell-bent on making Canada a totally secular humanist state, ignoring history, over-ruling Parliament, violating both the Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Kangaroo courts across the land show consistent bias in favour of certain special interest groups and individuals. Schools are denied the right to require moral be- haviour from their students. Citizens are denied legitimate free speech on social is- sues because it offends someone. Parents on school boards are told they must keep their religious values in the closet. Businessmen are forced to print obscene literature, in direct contravention of their beliefs. People making these outrageous rul- ings answer to no one. We should be as concerned about this as America is about the International Criminal Court. It’s time to pull these judicial activists’ fangs, put them on a very short leash, make them respect the rights of all Cana- dians and make them accountable to us, the people.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Federal Finance Minister John Manley’s sombre warning about health-care reforms goes against his government’s hon- est attempt to find a solution to Canada’s medicare crisis. Mr. Manley has delivered a vague and untimely warning that in its next budget, Ottawa might not have enough cash to deliver health-care reforms outlined in the soon-to-be-re- leased Romanow commission report. Whether this is political posturing or a very real fiscal por- trait, it’s a slap in the face for the one issue Canadians hold nearest to their hearts. It’s also an attack against the work by Roy Romanow, whose one-man commission on medicare appeared intent on cutting through the political bureaucracy. One wonders what message Mr. Manley is delivering when just days earlier the government’s very own health minister, Anne McLellan, promised, “our national recommitment to universal quality health care will not falter due to lack of funding.” With the leadership issue taking the focus away from a real Liberal agenda, the feds must follow through on the Ro- manow report, due to be released in November. Canadians don’t need another report, in which they were asked for input, to be thrown on the shelf only to collect dust. The one aspect that is crystal clear is that medical reforms are needed in this country, reforms that put patients first. For too long governments have paid lip service in admitting there are very real problems with our hospitals and health-care sys- tem. Issues in Durham are common across the country - crowd- ed emergency rooms, delays in elective surgery, ambulance redirects to hospitals outside the area. The Region has also invested a lot of blood, sweat, tears and cash toward the Durham Cancer Centre and we need to be sure the feds will have enough money to pay for radiologists to operate the centre. We are also in the midst of a doctor shortage where patients can’t find physicians and communi- ties have to dangle incentives to entice doctors to set up prac- tice in their communities. We hope the Romanow report will contain real solutions and, based on his very real compassion for health care, be- lieve it will fare far better than we witnessed in the wake of the provincial restructuring commission. In the end what initially began as a sincere effort on behalf of the Liberals and the commission will all be for naught should Romanow’s findings strike a chord with Canadians and the government fail to act.

SERVING AJAX & PICKERING FOR 33 YEARS Implant Supported Dentures Life is very stressful. How do you handle stress? Many of us don’t want to deal with it at all, and pre- fer self-medication with alcohol, drugs, food and other addictive behaviours. Others internalize it and find themselves with headaches, body tensions, and emotional outbursts. We need to learn to manage stress before it becomes an illness. A proven and effective way is through the self improvement of hatha yoga. Kripalu yoga is one of many styles of teaching hatha yoga which is the basis of our practice at New Horizons Yoga Studio. Kripalu yoga is designed to increase our knowl- edge of our mind and body’s needs in order to achieve and maintain good physical, mental and spiritual health. It deals with the whole person, not just the physical side. Each session includes postures, guided breathing, relaxation and meditation. We work one on one to ensure each person learns their own limits of strength, flexibility and bal- ance, as well as cultivate their inner stillness. Today there is no doubt of yoga’s effectiveness as both a cura- tive and preventative medicine. The best reason of all to practice yoga comes from asking your body how it feels and can you still do the things you used to be able to do? New Horizons Yoga Studio also offers Prenatal/Postnatal Yoga, spe- cially modified for women in all stages of pregnancy. Yoga will help you keep fit and energetic and you will learn to relax and breathe more fully to help prepare the body and mind for childbirth and help shape up easily after delivery.

(NC)–According to the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey, at least half of all cur- rent and former smokers have tried by the time they are 15 years of age. Among teen smokers, females had their first cigarette at about 12 years of age and males at about 13 years of age. Therefore, it is essential to teach children when they are young about the effects of tobac- co use and how to make wise choices about tak- ing care of their lungs and staying smoke-free. The Lung Association’s Lungs Are For Life, a newly revised smoking prevention program, is designed to reach students from Kindergarten to high school and to equip them with the skills they need to avoid tobacco and other harmful drugs, and to motivate them to resist the pres- sures of using these substances. Teachers who have used Lungs Are For Life in their classrooms are impressed by how easy the curriculum-based lessons are to teach, and how fun and interactive the activities are for students. They also find that the program allows students to explore their own ideas about smoking and encourages them to make informed decisions based on fact rather than peer pressure. By addressing real life situations, students are able to take the information and apply it to their every day lives. Lungs Are For Life, developed by The Lung Association in partnership with the Curriculum and School-Based Health Resource Centre with funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, is available to all Ontario schools free of charge. To find out more about the program or to order your copy, visit The Lung Association online at www.on.lung.ca or call 1-800-972-2636. Let’s teach our children to say “no” to smoking today, tomorrow and for life. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Boys of summer?

A Courtice couple decided to invite their bachelor neighbour to participate in the Decorating Chal- lenge, a television show seen across North America where friends swap homes for two days to redecorate one room in each other’s houses. But Joan and Joe Wray had more on their mind than just giving their friend a new colour scheme and accessories. They hope to find him a mate. “We’re trying to give him a kitchen that will get him a wife,” jokes decorator David MacPhee of David MacPhee Design Services, as he outlines the romantic French provincial theme he has created for the room. Mr. MacPhee was the designer on the show’s pilot when it aired five years ago. Since then, viewers across North America have fol- lowed him and the show’s other designers as they helped friends create a new living space for each other before revealing the transfor- mation at the end of two nine-hour days. For viewers the same result is revealed at the end of the half-hour show. About 95 per cent of the time, the homeowners are thrilled with the results, says the show’s producer Courtney Campbell. “Of the other five per cent, three per cent come away with things they can work with and then there are the two per cent who should never have agreed to participate. You have to have an open mind,” she explains. Mr. Verhoog and his sister, Linda, worked to recreate the ambiance of an old country train station, which the house once served as, in the Wray’s living room, using an old ticket window as the main attraction. Old carpet- ing was torn up to make way for a plank floor made from wood found out in the barn. The walls, trans- formed with a country-red paint would soon have shelves filled with “artifacts and old things.” Newspapers from the past, found in another part of the home, would also be incorporated into the room’s décor. “We’re playing off the rustic, historic aspect of the home,” said designer Ellie Cholette of At Home Interiors, also a regular on the show since it began. “We’re trying to make a country museum out of the room.” The Solina Road neighbours’ homes will be featured in the new season that premieres this fall on the W Network (formerly WTN). This particular episode, number 128, will likely run sometime early in 2003. (For a full list of program times, check on-line at www.deco- ratingchallenge.com.) While the show previously bud- geted $1,000 per home for the dec- orating projects, this season that amount was bumped to $1,500. The designers work diligently to keep the projects within budget and within the two-day timeline. “We make sure it can be a weekend pro- ject for the viewers,” says Ms. Campbell. “From a designer’s point of view, our challenge is to do things viewers can do them- selves,” adds Ms. Cholette. “We reuse, recycle and relocate,” to get the most out of the budget. The idea to invite the Decorating Challenge to their homes began with a desire to do something nice for Mr. Verhoog, the best neigh- bour a couple could hope to have, relates Mrs. Wray. “My husband and I just moved in three years ago and shortly after my husband got cancer. Jake has been a lifesaver. He has been such a good neighbour I wanted to do something for him. He wants to get his house nice because he’d like to meet someone and get married.” A few months back, Mr. Ver- hoog commented he would like to redecorate his kitchen but wasn’t sure how to go about it. That’s when Mrs. Wray was struck with the idea of writing to the show. On the afternoon of the first day of production, panic was starting to set in as the blue design team worked furiously on the Wray’s home. The carpet had been pulled up but the plank floor was only starting to be laid. Outside, Ms. Verhoog was braiding pieces of fabric together for a throw rug she was making from scratch, work she had been at all day. “After this I don’t even think I’ll even braid my hair,” she joked without lifting her eyes from the task at hand. Next door, in the Verhoog kitchen, the orange team was feel- ing a little more relaxed. Mrs. Wray was set to the task of sanding down a china hutch that would be transformed to a periwinkle blue to match the butter cream yellow paint already drying on the walls and the French fabric ready to hang on the kitchen walk-out patio doors. Later that night the friends would be put up at a Whitby motel where they weren’t allowed to breath a word on what had tran- spired throughout the day. Of course the big question on every- one’s mind was at the end of it all, would the homeowners be part of the satisfied 95 per cent. “I think they’ll really like it,” predicted Mr. Verhoog. “I think they’ll be blown away.” BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING — The Associ- ation of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is headed in the right direction. That’s the opinion of Region- al Councillor Mark Holland, the lone representative from the City of Pickering to attend this year’s AMO conference in Toronto, which wrapped up Wednesday. Holland noted the meeting of minds from across Ontario’s municipalities at the conference was a worthwhile one. Of spe- cial interest to him was the per- ception the Province is soften- ing to demands from municipal- ities for a new financial arrangement. “There was a new feeling that the call from the municipalities for a new deal is getting some traction,” he said in an inter- view Thursday morning. “First of all Ernie Eves showed up and referred to potential revenue sharing for the first time, showing the Province is taking a different position and for the first time recognizing that we don’t have a diversified revenue base. That’s a new tact from the Province, acknowledg- ing we’re in an unfair position and the fact that they will be considering some changes, that’s a positive.” Coun. Holland also said there were some “good” information sessions at the conference, including discussions on pesti- cide use and the successes and failures of smoking bylaws with his municipal counterparts from across Ontario. A staunch critic of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), Coun. Holland said he did hear a lot about the future of the provincial planning appeals tribunal at the conference. “A lot of municipalities are really upset on that issue and many have adopted a resolution similar to Pickering’s calling on the provincial government for change,” he said, adding that just like the issue of revenues for municipalities, AMO may have to bounce the idea around for awhile before it gains more acceptance. “After awhile the Province must acknowledge it,” he added. Although Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson failed in his bid to become AMO’s latest president, Coun. Holland said Durham would have been “well served” by Mr. Anderson in the post. He does- n’t, however, see it as a “blow” to the region. Joan and Joe Wray sit on the deck of neighbour Jake Verhoog’s house, with their own homestead in the background.

Fast and young: communities on the grow in Durham BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM ––The three com- munities in the region that experi- enced the most growth also have the youngest residents. Recently released information from Canada’s 2001 census shows Ajax, Clarington, and Whitby have the lowest age median in Durham. The median age in Ajax is 34.5, while in Clarington and Whitby it’s 35.2. From 1996 to 2001, Ajax population increased by 14.5 per cent, Clarington by 15.2 and Whit- by by 18.5 per cent. “It’s wasn’t a real surprise,” said Paul Allore, director of planning for Ajax about the low age illustrat- ed in the 2001 census. “It’s a reflection of the people we see here and it’s (the age) not much differ- ent from the rest (of the region).” He said there are a few reasons the area has continued attracting a younger population: strong green policies, diverse housing opportu- nities, close proximity to Toronto, and cheaper homes. “Put all those things together and that’s why you’re seeing the activity here,” said Mr. Allore, and the attraction isn’t expected to decline. He suspects the median age won’t change much in the upcoming years. “I really think Ajax is attractive because of the green policies. We have strong policies for parks and our waterfront is a great example of that. I think this is an attraction to young professional couples try- ing to raise a family,” he said. “I think we have a lot of first-time homeowners in the area.” What the growth means to all Ajax residents is better recreational services such as the two new ice pads introduced recently and a new outdoor recreational facility planned for August. Clarington Mayor John Mutton said the age group in his munici- pality is a result of growth and with it has come a tremendous increase in the services provided to resi- dents. With the highest growth rate in the region, Whitby’s population is still considered young, but officials there are also noticing increases in other age groups. “There’s a younger group within the community but the numbers are starting to increase over the age of 35,” said Bob Short, director of planning for Whitby. “If we look between 1981, about 13.5 per cent of Whitby’s population was in the age group of 55 and older. In 2001, 16.4 per cent was 55 and older. We’re seeing a small increase in the aging population in the com- munity.” Durham Region as a whole is a price-competitive market, he said, and much of the growth probably comes from people who want the same house they could own in Toronto for less money in other parts of the GTA. All municipalities in the region have a median under 40. Oshawa’s is 36.5, Pickering is 35.6, Scugog is 39.7, and Uxbridge is 38.5. The median age for Durham Region is 35.9 nearly two years younger than the national number of 37.6.

Tom Barrie and his family, who own Terwydlen Farms in Bowmanville, have donated 100 bales of hay to the drought- stricken western provinces. Animals in the west are currently facing starvation because the severe drought has de- stroyed hay crops. “We had a surplus this year because of a good crop,” said Mr. Barrie. “We’ve had sufficient rainfall here. The first crop was a bit late because of the cool, wet spring, but once it came, there was an abundance.” The donation of 100 bales is valued around $2,500. Mr. Barrie, secretary for Durham Region Soil and Crop Improve- ment, has also sent e-mails to farmers about phoning 1-866-HAY-WEST so they will know how to donate as well. Every farmer in Durham must con- tact the HAY WEST office if donating so the amount and type of hay can be recorded. If farmers do not register, the required fumigation will not be paid for and the hay won’t be accepted. Mr. Barrie’s hay will have to wait in Bowmanville until there are enough bales for HAY WEST to ship the hay via train. “I just like to remind (other farm- ers) that we live in a pretty good area that we can use our advantages to help out other farmers,” said Mr. Barrie. Those interested can phone 1-866- HAY-WEST (1-866-429-9378). A.J.

Today, more than 20 million North Americans suffer from chronic kidney disease. That’s one in nine adults. Another 20 million are at risk. But the number of cases is growing. A report from Johns Hopkins University claims the number of people with advanced kidney disease has doubled dur- ing the last 10 years. And the number with end-stage kidney disease who require renal dialy- sis is growing at the rate of seven per cent a year, creating a huge economic problem. Some people are more prone to renal disease than others. Get- ting older gradually decreases kidney function. Certain ethnic groups such as African-Ameri- cans, Asians and Hispanics have a higher risk of developing kid- ney disease. Others are born with polycys- tic kidneys that function poorly. Early in life some patients may develop glomerulonephritis, a chronic renal disease. But the current epidemic of diabetes is primarily responsible for the huge increase in kidney disease. It’s almost beyond be- lief that every 45 seconds a new diabetic is diagnosed in North America. One child in five born today is destined to develop this illness. Diabetes results in athero- sclerosis, which narrows arter- ies, decreases blood supply and damages kidneys, heart and other vital organs. Another major problem is hypertension. It’s estimated that 50 million North Americans have high blood pressure and only 10 million are being ade- quately controlled by medica- tion. This excess pressure is con- stantly pounding and injuring the kidneys‚ microscopic tis- sues. But how can a brown paper bag help? I often say to patients, “Put all your medicines in a brown paper bag and bring it to me at the next visit.” Time and time again I’m amazed at the huge assortment of medications that patients dump onto my desk. For this there is often a price to pay. For instance, minor painkillers, taken to excess, can result in renal damage and the eventual need for kidney dialy- sis. Never forget that every drug we consume has to be processed and removed by the kidney. And like any other organ it can toler- ate only so much abuse. For years I’ve written that today’s society is addicted to “pillitis”. It requires a pill for every ache and pain. As Sir William Osler once remarked, “The one thing that separates man from animals is man’s de- sire to take pills.” What people don’t under- stand is that, unlike a headache or an irritable bowel, chronic renal disease is a silent killer. Symptoms appear only after the kidney has suffered significant damage. And luckily you can live a normal life with 50 per cent of kidney function de- stroyed. That’s why it’s possible to donate one kidney and still survive. Finally, when symptoms ap- pear patients complain of fa- tigue, headache and dry itchy skin. Later, as kidney function further deteriorates patients complain of nausea and they may pass urine frequently or less often. Finally, swelling of the feet occurs and fluid collects in the heart and lungs. Regular checkups can detect kidney disease. A urine test mea- sures the amount of albumin, a protein that appears when renal function is impaired. Blood tests will also show an increase in creatinine, a breakdown product of muscle metabolism. The best way to protect kid- neys is to keep thin and protect yourself from diabetes. Today 90 per cent of diabetics are obese. But if diabetes is already present it must be carefully monitored by either pills or in- sulin to decrease the risk of renal failure. Kidney disease cannot be cured once it has developed. But treating diabetes and hyperten- sion can decrease its progres- sion. To treat hypertension drugs known as ACE inhibitors will re- duce blood pressure. This lessens the amount of work that the kidneys must do. It’s been shown that by using ACE in- hibitors patients who are des- tined for renal dialysis can post- pone this need for several years. My advice is to be careful you don’t overload the brown paper bag with questionable medication. Renal dialysis is not a pleasant way to live.

The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network says the Canadian government can. It says right now, the country is in the midst of a public health cri- sis concerning HIV/AIDS, hepati- tis C, and injection drug use. And, so far, the network says the re- sponse to this crisis from our gov- ernment has been far from concert- ed and effective. The network has released the report, ‘Establishing safe injection facilities in Canada: legal and eth- ical issues’, which concludes Canada has a legal and moral obligation to allow for and fund trials of safe injection facilities as part of an overall strategy to more effectively respond to the harms related to drug use. “We cannot continue to close our eyes to the staggering amount of avoidable disease and death re- sulting not just from injection drug use but also from governments’ failure to put a comprehensive pre- vention and treatment strategy in place,” says Ralf Jürgens, execu- tive director of the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network. In 1999, 34 per cent of the esti- mated 4,190 new HIV infections in Canada were injection drug users. Over 60 per cent of the ap- proximately 4,000 new hepatitis C infections each year are also relat- ed to the use of needles. “Safe injection facilities offer drug users a place to inject their drugs using clean equipment and with considerably less stress with the available care of medically trained personnel, helping to pre- vent the transmission of blood- borne diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, and offering refer- rals to social, health and addiction treatment services,” explained Benedikt Fischer, assistant profes- sor at the department of public health sciences and centre of crim- inology at the University of Toron- to. “Such facilities are successfully in operation in several countries in Europe and in Australia. The avail- able evidence suggests that includ- ing safe-injection facilities as one component of a broader public health-oriented policy response to injection drug use has the potential of producing significant benefits for both drug users and the gener- al community.” In the safe injection sites envi- sioned by the legal network, drugs are not bought, sold and consumed in unsafe and unhygienic condi- tions. Staff would not provide drugs to users, nor would they help to administer them. Instead, the network says the facilities would help users avoid negative health consequences as- sociated with injection drug use, and provide a safer alternative to other locations in the community where users might normally go to inject drugs. “Clearly, safe injection facili- ties are not the only answer to the complex problems associated with drug use,” added Mr. Jürgens. “But, it is unacceptable that pre- ventable harms such as HIV infec- tion, hepatitis C infection, and overdosing continue at alarming rates. In the face of a significant health crisis affecting both people who use drugs and the wider com- munity, Canada cannot sit by, re- fusing to implement this reason- able harm reduction measure demonstrated to have been effec- tive in other countries. Our analy- sis of legal and ethical issues relat- ed to the establishment of safe-in- jection facilities shows that, at the very least, Canada must establish trial facilities and evaluate them. Logic, compassion, and basic de- cency require us to act.” In the meantime, while most experts tend to agree the problem of injection drug use is a growing one here in Durham, the reaction to the legal network’s call is mixed. Based on evidence provided by another harm-reduction initiative in the region, the Project Xchange needle exchange program run by the John Howard Society, injection drug use is a local reality and the population of users is continuing to grow. Project Xchange reported 2,727 people exchanged needles with the program in 2001. Of that number, 1,271 were new users. Officials gave out 32,285 needles and took in 31,395 and outreach worker Beth Whalen says the numbers would have been even greater if the program were able to expand. Dr. Donna Reynolds, the Durham Region Health Depart- ment’s associate medical officer of health, doesn’t deny there is an in- jection drug problem here. And, she says the health department supports the idea of harm reduc- tion initiatives as a way to prevent the spread of blood-borne dis- eases, much like they do with the government-mandated needle ex- change program. But, she says there is no regula- tory or policy framework currently supporting the development of safe-injection sites and isn’t con- vinced they would be the most ef- fective answer to the problem. “At this point with safe injec- tion sites there is no evidence to support they are effective,” she says. “We are looking for harm-re- duction strategies, but they must be ones that fit in with the larger picture, within an integrated sys- tem.” Peter Richtig, executive direc- tor of the AIDS Committee of Durham, says every day the orga- nization is seeing more and more people with a history of needle use who have contracted HIV and AIDS. “Whether that’s just starting to surface or it’s increasing I don’t know, but we’re definitely seeing more,” he says. “People have been using more over the last couple of years.” While Mr. Richtig admits the injection drug use problem may not be to the same “depth and de- gree” in Durham as it is in larger centres like Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto, he can’t deny its existence. “I’m not sure the situation is that grievous here in Durham, but it’s still significant,” he says. “Each year the number of needles handed out by the needle exchange has risen dramatically. It continues to be a growing thing.” Mr. Richtig says from his expe- rience, around 50 per cent of nee- dle users are HIV positive and those who are not are still at a very high risk of contracting the dis- ease. The AIDS Committee of Durham is a part of the HIV/AIDS legal network and, as such, Mr. Richtig says it “definitely sup- ports” safe-injection sites, just like it supports needle exchange pro- grams and anything attempting to reduce the incidents of transmis- sion of disease. “Safe injection sites and needle exchange programs serve a func- tion in the community,” he says. “At the very least they get the dirty needles off the streets and away from the parks and the children.” Addicts are going to use drugs whether safe-injection sites are set up or not, but Mr. Richtig says only these facilities can ensure proper disposal of needles and that addicts use clean works. “We need to start using harm-re- duction strategies like this. They keep the lines of communication open. Drug users can have contact and access to counselling and health-care services. Instead of being off somewhere isolated, they can be looking at getting off drugs or doing less,” he explained. “They are going to do drugs anyway, we just want to help them do it in a way that doesn’t transmit diseases. Some people say all we’re doing is supporting drug use, but drugs have been here since the dawn of time, they’re not going away. “It’s a part of our culture; some believe marijuana use is accept- able and others think using needles is acceptable. It’s not that simple to just say no to drugs. It didn’t work in the States. Safe-injection sites are a safe way to access services and get counselling. Users can do drugs in a way where they reduce the amount of harm to themselves and the community.” The legal network’s report on safe-injection sites, the product of a 12-month study, includes six rec- ommendations for immediate gov- ernment action. It wants the federal government to update Canada’s Drug Strategy to explicitly support trials of safe- injection facilities and create the legal and regulatory framework under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) to govern such facilities so as to eliminate the risk of criminal or civil liabili- ty for such operations. It also wants the framework to allow for broad access to safe in- jection facilities for all users who need them, outline the activities and services permitted on the premises, and establish adminis- trative requirements to ensure a safe and effective operation. In the interim, until such a framework is in place, the network is asking the federal minister of health to grant exemptions from the application of provisions of the CDSA so that safe-injection facili- ties can operate on a trial basis and that Health Canada fund the im- plementation of a multi-site scien- tific research trial. Finally, it is asking that federal, provincial/territorial, and munici- pal officials collaborate to ensure trials occur as quickly as possible. Health Canada spokesman Andrew Swift said officials are currently reviewing the recom- mendations made by the network and are supportive of ongoing communication among all stake- holders. “We as well as the provincial and territorial governments are concerned about injection drug use and will continue to consider inno- vative options like these that have been successful in other countries around the world,” he said, Mr. Swift added harm-reduc- tion initiatives may include safe- injection sites in the future, but the focus right now is on ongoing dis- cussions. Meanwhile, the legal network, the AIDS committee of Durham, the Durham Region Health De- partment, a number of interested drug users, and those who work with them are awaiting the govern- ment’s next move.

Pickering under-10s champions at Whitby Iroquois tournament PICKERING — The Pickering boys’ under-10 ‘A’ soccer team clipped Clairlea to capture the championship at the Whit- by Iroquois Soccer Club Tournament Aug. 17-18. Pickering received a strong overall team effort, which paved the way for a 4-2 victory over Clairlea in the final. Dion Franklin and Maclin Crawford scored for Pickering. Cameron Hasall was named player of the game and Franklin garnered the most valuable player tro- phy. The Pickering boys played their first game against the Darlington Strikers, winning handily 5-0. Franklin scored two goals, Blake Cluff, Antho- ny Schembri and Crawford added one apiece. In game 2, the Pickering under-10s rolled over Lea- side 8-0. Franklin paced Pickering with a four-goal effort, Hasall, Cluff, Alex Rausa and Crawford chipped in with singles. Mckenzie Smith posted his second shutout of the tour- ney. Pickering faced host Whitby in Game 3, losing 1-0 in a contest, which the Pickering coaches say was marred by questionable calls by the officials. The Pickering under-10s bounced back in Game 4 to defeat Westview 4-2. The win ensured Picker- ing a first-place finish and a berth in the final.

Devon Ackroyd, 19, a national-calibre swimmer with the Ajax Aquatic Club, signed on for a four-year scholarship with the university. Putting his signature on a let- ter of intent last April, he’s content with his decision to attend the upstate New York university. “I had a few other offers, but I enjoyed the swimmers and the people around me there. I got on campus and I felt like I be- longed there. A lot of different people went out of their way to impress me,” he says, noting he also visited the campuses of the University of Connecticut, the University of Maryland and Northwestern University be- fore settling on Syracuse. Most important to Ackroyd was the fact he would be entering Syracuse’s swim pro- gram with a number of other freshman as the program is currently in a retooling mode this year. “It’s a rebuilding program, so they took in a lot of freshmen this year. They’re think- ing that hopefully this group will be chal- lenging for the Big East championships by the time we hit our senior year,” he says. In addition to the warm welcome and the chance to learn alongside a team of mostly freshman swimmers, Ackroyd was sold on the school’s solid reputation in NCAA sports, and the fact that it’s relatively close to home. “Yeah, it’s only four hours away. My parents liked that a lot, so that was a factor in my decision. Syracuse has some prestige in all sports, like lacrosse and football,” says Ackroyd, a Dunbarton High School graduate. Ackroyd says he’s expected to anchor the college’s swim team in the breaststroke and the individual medley events next sea- son, with training to officially begin in two week’s time. At this year’s nationals, Ack- royd finished in the top 20 in the 200-metre and 400m I.M. as well as the 200m breast. Ackroyd credits his association with the Ajax Aquatic Club and especially head coach Trent McNicol for helping him achieve a full-scholarship in the U.S. He’s also grateful to McNichol, an alumnus of the University of Maryland, for giving him advice about college life in the U.S. “He told me what it’s going to be like this year. He’s continually giving me ad- vice. A lot of swimmers from the club have gone on to the state in the past years,” he says. Ackroyd has enrolled in the health sci- ences program at Syracuse.

Pickering teen wins medals at Legion nationals DURHAM —A num- ber of local athletes contin- ued their golden seasons on the track at the Royal Cana- dian Legion Midget and Ju- venile Canadian Track and Field Championships in Quebec last weekend. Nikkita Holder, of Pick- ering, won four medals, in- cluding one gold, during the two days of competition in the sweltering heat. As well, three members from the Pickering High School track team — Cameron Sa- hadath, Ryan Finn and Stephen Lopez — were part of the 40-member Team Ontario at the Legion cham- pionships hosted at the Uni- versity of Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, Quebec. One other athlete, Ryan Gordon, declined his spot on the team due to family commit- ments. Competing in the midget girls’ (15-and-under) divi- sion, Holder won gold in the 80-metre hurdles in a time of 12.08 seconds. She also earned silver medals in the 4-x-100-metre relay and in the 1,600-metre sprint medley and a bronze in the 100 metres in a time of 12.48 seconds. In the juvenile boys’ di- vision, Cameron Sahadath put forth a record-breaking performance in the 110- metre hurdles. Sahadath ran to gold in the event in a record time of 13.9 seconds. He also earned a silver medal as part of Team On- tario’s 4-x-400-metre relay team that finished behind B.C. for top spot. In the midget boys’divi- sion, Finn ran to gold medals in the 800 metres, 1500 metres, 3000 metres and the 4-x-100-metre sprint relay. Meanwhile, Lopez won gold in the long jump and was a member of the gold-medal-winning 4- x-100-metre sprint relay team. Lopez also earned a silver medal in the 400 me- tres.

Check for details. Advertising Feature F O C U S O N B U S I N E S S PICKERING Most people at one time or another have encountered a power steering sys- tem problem. Whether a failing power steering pump, hoses, gearbox, rack and pinion, noise, leaks, or hard steering, all could be related to the quality or condi- tion of the power steering fluid. Power steering fluid is formulated for Power steering systems. Under no condition should automatic transmission fluid (ATF) be used as a substitute for P/S fluid. P/S fluid is almost clear in colour. It turns darker and darker when used, because of the high temperature (almost boiling) generated by high pressure (up to 1800 psi). High temperature causes the fluid to start breaking down, causing electrochemical degradation. The more the fluid breaks down, the more it will be contaminated. Sludge and varnish are the main byproducts. Sludge and varnish starts to cause clogging of valves, which in turn causes higher and higher pres- sures, then more contamination, and more and more PROBLEMS. Now, at THRIFTY MECHANIC SHOP, we have an Option for you. Using a state of the art “Power Steering Flush Machine”, we will provide you with the latest service procedure that safely removes varnish and sludge deposits, and cleans all internal power steering components (pump, rack and pinion, hoses, valves, switches and P/S cooler lines). Then the system is filled with fresh fluid and conditioners that revitalize the seals and O-rings of the system. Now that you have educated your- self reading this article, if your vehicle P/S system is showing any signs of cont- amination, noise, stiffness, rough or hard turning, this service is the first thing you should try before it becomes necessary to perform major repair work, or even the need for replacement of very expensive P/S components. SEE AD FOR SAVINGS A Power Steering System Flush is Good Preventative Maintenance It’s important to educate yourself on all of the various systems in your vehicle including your power steering. Neglecting them could result in expensive repairs in the future.
