BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —The Social Development Council (SDC) of Ajax-Pickering is another $4,000 towards making up its $30,000 fund- ing shortfall from the local United Way. Pickering has pledged a one-time grant of $4,000 to the SDC, which received $80,000 last year from the United Way of Ajax-Pick- ering but will only receive $49,548 this year. Without the extra $30,000, the SDC would have to stop offering its information centre services. Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land, a council liaison for the SDC, empha- sized the contribution is a one-time only grant for an agency that does good community work. “This should not be viewed as a funding solution but help at a time of need,” he said at Monday’s council meeting. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, president of the SDC in the early 1980s, credited the agency with pioneering a number of programs such as housing support and nutritional programs for school children. “I don’t think there is a day that goes by that a call (to the city) isn’t referred to the so- cial development council,” he said. “The social development council has al- ways been there for this community and I think we should be there for them this time and one time only.” Pickering contributes regularly to the SDC through its annual contribution to the United A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 13, 2002 www.durhamregion.com HOME EVENT ON NOW!

DURHAM —Durham Region lends its voice to the Seaton land swap next week. The Region’s works, planning and finance committees review the draft principles of the North Pick- ering Land Exchange Review Panel Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 9 a.m. The meeting takes place in Durham council chambers, 605 Rossland St. in Whitby. Chaired by former Toronto mayor and federal cabinet minister David Crombie, the panel has is- sued six draft principles to guide the valuation, exchange and subse- quent development of Seaton. The Province is in the process of exchanging public lands in Seaton for privately owned lands in Rich- mond Hill and Uxbridge. Durham councillors get a look at Seaton land plan Hydro bill too taxing for local woman Lois Kemp questions why GST is applied to debt retirement BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Some- thing made Lois Kemp take a hard look at her hydro bill the other day. And the Pickering senior didn’t like what she saw, not one little bit. “It’s bad enough we have to pay the Ontario Hydro debt off but do we have to pay tax on it as well?” she asked. Ms. Kemp pointed to the ‘debt retirement charge’ ap- plied to her $185.26 bill. Her share of paying back Ontario Hydro’s multibillion-dollar stranded debt amounts to $9.59 based on her per kilo- watt hour use this month — plus the GST. “If more people were aware of this maybe some- thing could be done about it. It’s not right,” said Ms. Kemp, who has placed sever- al calls to her local MP about the charge. “We pay a lot of taxes. It’s taken out of our wages and on most everything we buy. The hydro debt in itself is a lot of money, but if we keep paying GST on it, just imag- ine how much we’d be giving the federal government.” Dan McTeague, MP for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, has written both Elinor Ca- plan, federal minister of na- tional revenue, and John Manley, federal minister of finance for clarification on the GST charge. His views are quite clear on the subject. “I don’t think the public should be expected to pay GST on it and I don’t think (the federal government) should be aiding and abetting the Province’s debt,” Mr. McTeague said. “The debt should not be taxable. It’s not a good or a service.” However, federal taxation laws disagree. “GST can be charged to any additional charges relat- ing to the supply of electrici- ty,” said Colette Gentes- Hawn, a spokesman with the Canada Customs and Rev- enue Agency. Current legislation views the delivery of hydro to homes a service and includes the debt retirement charge as part of the cost of that ser- vice, she said. As such, GST should be applied under the law. The Ministry of Finance must look at the issue and de- cide if it should be changed, since that’s the department in charge of drafting tax legisla- tion, Ms. Gentes-Hawn said. Her ministry implements tax laws. John Wiersma, president of the Veridian Corporation, said it could be argued GST should be charged on the debt retirement for practical reasons. Before the break up of Ontario Hydro, its debt was consolidated into the price of supply and distribu- tion of electricity and every- one paid GST on it, he said. As a distributor of hydro to Ajax, Pickering, Claring- ton, Uxbridge, Port Hope and Belleville, Veridian doesn’t really have an opin- ion on the GST charge, said Mr. Wiersma. “It’s a pass-through price for us,” he said. “But I think (having the GST dropped) would be good for our con- sumers.” A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Pickering resident Lois Kemp displays her bill from Veridian Corporation which includes the goods and services tax calculated as part of a hydro debt payment for customers. Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague opposes the GST being charged for the debt repayment portion of the electrical bills.

Correction We need more boys involved, student trustees say Presentation to Durham board focuses on males DURHAM —The Durham Dis- trict School Board’s student trustees want to get the guys involved in school activities. Lori McAvoy, of Brock High School, and R.S. McLaughlin Colle- giate and Vocational Institute’s Melissa Gerrits, began their jobs as the board’s student representatives in August. In presenting a report to the board’s standing committee Oct. 7, Ms. McAvoy said they plan to start some inter-school activities for stu- dents. In doing so, she said they hope to get both genders involved, noting most students who volunteer for high school activities are female. “We’re not looking at why, but how to increase the involvement of males,” said Ms. McAvoy. She noted a positive sign already: of the 18 school leaders represented at the most recent student senate meeting, 11 were male. Teen duo faces several charges PICKERING ––Tw o teens ar- rested Thursday face more than 20 charges as police continue to round up sus- pects in a recent street robbery spree. The pair, 17- year-old boys, were taken into custody by members of a Durham Region- al Police task force formed to combat the sud- den surge in youth violence in Ajax and Pickering. One of the teens faces six counts of rob- bery, five counts of forcible con- finement and three charges of breach of proba- tion. The second 17-year-old is charged with two counts each of robbery, con- finement, breach of probation and breach of bail conditions. The charges stem from three separate inci- dents in Picker- ing between Sept. 1 and 13. In the past week or so, the task force has ar- rested more than 20 suspects and laid more than 80 criminal charges. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 13, 2002 PAGE 5 P My name is Melissa Hayden.

Daily Struggle I struggled with my weight all my life. Up and down, up and down, like a yo-yo. I thought to myself, I am an intelligent woman, why can’t I control something as simple as food? I knew that I was dealing with more than just weight. I had tried the national diet chains. I lost weight, but I was hungry and cranky. I am a former diet ‘leader’. I had a lot of knowledge about weight loss, but it didn’t motivate me. After working so hard to lose 80 pounds, I had gained back 30. I heard a testimony from a Positive Changes Hypnosis customer on the radio. I was impressed with the weight she had lost and the other changes she had made in her life. I had carried that 30 pounds for six months. I couldn’t get a handle on it. I picked up the phone and called Positive Changes. 100% Satisfied While on diet programs I was haunted by a feeling that my weight was waiting around the corner to pounce on me.

In a recent interview, United Way chairman Doug McKay said funding was cut because the agency has “taken on a Durham Region mentality”. It was originally man- dated to research the social needs of Ajax and Picker- ing, he said. “We support them and we gave money for the Ajax-Pickering portion,” Mr. McKay said. “They’re supporting programs out- side Ajax and Pickering we can’t support. It’s not that they’re running a poor pro- gram.” Ajax council has also pledged a $4,000 grant to the SDC. — with files from Keith Gilligan PICKERING from page 1 Public board trustees OK debentures for Durham building plan DURHAM —Trustees have ap- proved $70 million in debentures to finance the Durham District School Board’s second accommodation plan. As a result, the board committed to 15 annual interest payments of $4 million, plus a minimum of about $1 million per year for a sinking fund to pay off the principal when it becomes due. The decision was made at a special board meeting Monday. “This is currently a very favourable time to go to market be- cause interest rates are at 40-year lows,” Ron Trbovich, the board’s business superintendent, states in a report to trustees. “The 15-year sinking fund debenture has an inter- est rate of 5.7 per cent. This rate was 20 basis points above (the) Govern- ment of Ontario’s rate and 34 basis points above the Government of Canada’s rate, as established on Sept. 26.” The loan will pay for new ele- mentary schools in Oshawa, Whit- by, Ajax and Cannington, additions to Lakeside Public School in Ajax and Uxbridge Secondary School, and a new high school in Whitby. Trustees in August learned high- er construction costs in the GTA re- quired $70 million instead of $66 million in debentures. At that time, they authorized staff to enter into the financing arrangement. Monday’s approval was for the required bylaw to issue the debentures. Unlike the first accommodation plan debenture of $160 million, which the board entered into on its own, this time the board joined forces with nine others through the Ontario School Boards’ Financing Corporation. Mr. Trbovich in his report notes because the total debenture issue is $460 million, the board received re- duced interest rates. A second ad- vantage is “the superior support and advice from the larger group of un- derwriters and in particular the ad- vice of the Province’s Ontario Fi- nancing Authority.” In that first debenture issued three years ago, the board commit- ted to 20 annual interest and sinking fund payments of about $15.6 mil- lion after obtaining an interest rate of 6.75 per cent. Mr. Trbovich has told trustees the board is ahead of schedule in meeting its debt obligations for the first plan, and should have it paid off within 14, instead of 20, years, giv- ing trustees more flexibility in the future to meet the need for new schools and additions. I met the Queen Wednesday. OK, I’m lying. I was in the same room, the National Trade Centre in To ronto. The closest I got was, oh, maybe 50 or 60 feet. Before covering the event, and since, I’ve listened to and participated in the debate about the Queen, the monarchy and its relevance to us as Canadians in the 21st century. I’ll come clean: I don’t think we should have a King or Queen. We do, and a British one at that, because 243 years ago General Wolfe defeated General Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham. Monarchists say royalty provides stability,continuity etc. to us, but I don’t really buy it. As Gary Polonsky, the thoughtful president of Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology, remarked, “it’s possible to be cynical about these things.” It’s easy to sneer at those who go gaga for royalty, lining up for hours to get a glimpse of Her Royal Highness. But look at how many thousands marked the anniversary of Elvis’s death, sobbing for a, let’s face it, singer who died 25 years ago. Look at the millions all over the world, young and old, who adore movie stars, pop stars and athletes. Most of us respect, admire, love or worship someone fa- mous. If I met Gabriel Garcia Mar- quez, the great Colombian author, I’d be speechless. I saw the Queen ‘live’once before. It was about 25 years ago, I think, when she opened Scarborough’s Civic Centre. When I saw the Queen this week, my first impression was she has a nice smile. Then I just thought of her as a senior citizen. I wasn’t overcome. I was underwhelmed. Canada’s a very young country, but we’re grown up enough to have our own head of state — someone local, if you will. The fact remains we do have a Queen, and she’s been on the job for 50 years. If nothing else,maybe all the bowing and curtsying that accompa- nies the crown serves as a reminder that we could all be more humble. So, following royal etiquette, I ask you to stand and raise your glass of water or wine (no cocktails, please) as I deliver with simple respect the prop- er salute: “The Queen.” ••• P.S. I wasn’t the only one who found security abysmal at the trade centre. There was no one in sight, uni- formed or not, when I entered the building, just two young girls handing out programs. Sure, I had to submit my name in advance and be checked out to receive a press badge, but shouldn’t someone have been at the door to eye me and everyone else? Stand and deliver the proper salute: ‘The Queen’ Parenting not the responsibility of governments To the editor: Re: ‘How can these people sleep at night,’ Jane McDonald column, Oct. 6. The column poses a good question, but the target is off the mark. The raising of children is a parental re- sponsibility, not government’s. Unfortu- nately the current trend today is that both parents work elsewhere and leave the rais- ing of their children to nannies, babysitters, day care and, of course, the school system. This agenda puts money first, children second. In effect, these people have subcon- tracted the child-raising process to other parties. You’re right that some of these chil- dren end up in the court system and their parents are the most surprised. No wonder — they didn’t raise them so how would they know what’s been going on! Because of the increase in this lifestyle, the day-care business has turned into an in- dustry unto itself. No wonder Denise Gilbert is looking for government dollars. The day-care industry would like nothing better than to receive a business subsidy at the expense of the tax- payer. The Durham MPP who said, “if peo- ple can’t afford to take care of their children, they shouldn’t have them”, may not have chosen the politically correct words, but they are right in expressing a viewpoint that tax dollars are not well spent fixing prob- lems created by other people’s poor plan- ning. Yes, I agree, how can these people sleep at night, but the people you should be refer- ring to are the latchkey parents, not the gov- ernment.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 13, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com The stalemate over legal aid fees between Ontario’s lawyers and the provincial government may be solved if new legislation creating public defenders comes to pass. The Legal Aid Services Amendment Act would essentially establish a rostrum of lawyers, paid exclusively by the Province, who would be assigned cases and clients. It would largely replace the current system where clients apply for legal aid certificates and then search on their own for private practice lawyers who will accept their cases. The proposed system is common in the United States where the public defender is a long-established tradition. At the very least, the system ensures everyone gets a lawyer. Its chief draw- backs are clients have no control over the lawyer they’re as- signed and critics claim public defenders are generally lawyers of last resort, usually, but not always, the dregs of the legal pro- fession. Such criticisms miss the most important point. Those who can’t afford a lawyer must still be provided with a properly trained, licensed advocate, a member in good stand- ing of the Ontario Bar. Of course, as with anything in life, all lawyers are not created equal but it’s hard to argue those with no money to pay counsel should receive a legal superstar used to charging five- or six-figure retainers. Desperate clients can’t afford to be choosy but they can at least be provided with jus- tice. The proposed bill raises many questions. Would a public de- fender system prove even more costly than the current legal aid arrangement? Would firms of public defenders, many of whom now mostly work off legal aid, spring up eager to sign contracts with the government? Would the system be more efficient than what is currently in place? Clearly, the Province, which raised the hourly rate for legal aid counsel from $83 to $87 recently, is tired of bickering with the Law Society. The gulf between lawyers demanding $125 per hour for legal aid and the $87 offered by the government may be impossible to breech. Lawyers, who worked for the same hourly rate from 1987 to 2002, made a good point in de- manding more money for their work. Something has to give. A made-at-Queen’s Park solution, while it might be an un- happy answer for thousands of lawyers, may be a compromise that best serves the needs of the many clients who feel caught in a Law Society-Province squeeze.

B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah, a Reform congregation, wel- comed the Torah in a recent cer- emony. “The Torah is Judaism’s most sacred book,” said Linda Zaks-Walker, president of the synagogue. “It’s made up of the first five books of what Chris- tians refer to as the Old Testa- ment. A sofer, that is, a scribe, writes the entire Torah in He- brew, by hand, on sections of sheepskin. These sections are sewn together and then wrapped around two large wooden spools called azei hayyim.” The Torah is on a long-term loan from the Temple Emanu-el in Toronto. The Ajax synagogue holds services and some social events at St. Paul’s United Church in Ajax. A Simchat Torah service, a celebration of the ‘joy of To rah’, was held to welcome the Tor ah. “Just as Simchat Torah cele- brates the continuous reading of To rah, this night celebrates the continuing bond between Tem- ple Emanu-El and B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah,” Ms. Zaks- Walker said. The congregation has more than 50 families from through- out Durham Region, Scarbor- ough and Markham. Ms. Zaks-Walker said for the past eight years, the Canadian Council for Reform Judaism loaned a Torah to B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah. Jerry Steinberg is the rabbi and Deborah Staiman is cantor. At the ceremony welcoming the To rah, founding president Harley Saltzman was also pre- sent. For more information on B’nai Shalom V’Tikvah, call Ms. Zaks-Walker at 416-283- 4852 or visit the Web site at www.bnaishalomvtikvah.com.

New subdivision approved for north Ajax AJAX —A 362-unit sub- division in north Ajax has been given the OK. Ajax council’s communi- ty affairs and planning com- mittee approved on Monday the request by Great Gulf Homes for the subdivision at Westney and Rossland roads. Company vice-president Beth Halpenny told the com- mittee the aim is to start preparation work on the first phase, or about half the pro- ject, this year. The subdivision includes 92 semi-detached homes, while the remainder will be single-detached, with lot widths of either 15.2 metres (50 feet) or 12.5 metres (41 feet). To wn planner Renrick Ashby said only 75 building permits will be issued, prob- ably in January. Durham Re- gion is limiting the number of permits because the water pumping station serving the area is reaching capacity. BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The Durham District School Board plans to pay the rough- ly $75,000, one-time cost of performing criminal back- ground checks on employees hired before 1999. Trustees at the Oct. 7 standing committee meeting approved a staff recommen- dation to enter into a contract with the Ontario Education Services Corporation (OESC). The consortium, set up by the Province’s four school board/ trustee groups and the Council of Directors of Education, will collect criminal background checks (CBCs) on staff members at a cost of $12 per employee. Ontario Regulation 521 requires boards to collect CBCs by July 31, 2003, list- ing any criminal code convic- tions that have not been par- doned. Since Jan. 1, 1999, the Ontario College of Teachers has required CBCs of all new college applicants. In her report, Sally McIl- veen, the board’s employee relations superintendent, told trustees boards will electroni- cally submit requests for CBCs to the OESC, and they will then go to the Ontario Provincial Police. She said the cost is about $75,000. “It has benefits to us, con- sidering the cost of each criminal background check will be $12 per employee,” she said. “It’s a great advan- tage to us to be included with the other school boards.” In an interview, she said the price range for a CBC generally ranges from $25 to $40 each. The regulation also re- quires boards to collect an an- nual offence declaration from employees. Ms. McIlveen said that amounts to employees sim- ply signing a piece of paper stating their record has been clean since the CBC or last declaration. “Even at $12 an employ- ee, it still comes in at $60,000 to $70,000 for the board,” said Oshawa Trustee Kath- leen Hopper, criticizing the Province for not funding the CBCs. “I think sometimes if you mandate something the fund- ing should come along with it,” she said. Ms. McIlveen, as she noted in her report to the board, said school board and trustee associations are lob- bying for provincial funding to cover the cost. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 13, 2002 PAGE 9 A/P save 60% ToGo™terry & velour towels save 50% •ToGo™Premier Satin Stripe & jacquard bedding • all ToGo™Essentials pillows save 40% all ToGo™Essentials duvets & mattress pads save 35% all frames save 30% all candles save 25% •all bath coordinates & scales •Henckels Professional “S”, Cologne & Twin Gourmet cutlery •Oneida 45-pce. flatware sets save 10% Denby Blue Jetty & Spirit dinnerware save $50 KitchenAid Ultra Power™ stand mixer save $20 men’s rechargeable shavers By Philishave.

In their final form they are our homes, our roads, our bridges, our schools, our workplaces and our churches. As an end product they are the pillars of our modern civilization. But getting sand and gravel from the ground to the builder has his- torically been, at times, a source of contention and environmental concern. The aggregate industry is inherently one of contradictions. The extraction of sand and gravel is key to building the roads on which we rely. Yet, at the same time the aggregate industry is criti- cized for ruining those roads with its heavy load trucks. A rural resident’s idyllic dream of a peace- ful country home can quickly evaporate in the noise and dust from extraction operations at a nearby gravel pit and from haul trucks rum- bling down their road. Yet, without aggre- gates, there would be no homes. New applications for aggregate operations sometimes draw criticism from environmen- talists concerned with possible effects on nearby watersheds and natural habitats. But, with the right rehabilitation plan, as the ex- traction process is completed, the land can be restored to a more ecologically-sound, beauti- ful and productive state than before the oper- ation started. Each person in Ontario accounts for about one truckload of sand and gravel being ex- tracted from the ground every year. Collectively, we use about 150 million tonnes in this province alone. We may not like the dust and dirt but we definitely need it. “All of us are completely dependent on ag- gregates,” says Debbe Crandell, executive di- rector of an environmental watchdog organi- zation called STORM, (Save the Oak Ridges Moraine). “The average citizen doesn’t un- derstand their relationship with sand and gravel. That’s the problem. When people move to the country and haven’t done their background to understand aggregate re- sources, conflicts are set up. Traditionally, agriculture and aggregates are the two rural uses.” That may seem like an odd position for someone who is in the business of protecting the environment but Ms. Crandell says the key to harmony between the environment and aggregates is not to eliminate gravel pits from our rural communities, not even on the moraine. Aggregates are only found in certain parts of the province and we need them, she admits. The solution, she says, is to ensure regulations are in place to protect the land, re- strict the areas where the industry could be most damaging to the ecosystem and ensure responsible operation on the part of owners. With appropriate land-use designation and regulation, she believes our need for aggre- gate resources can be balanced with protec- tion of other natural resources such as the wa- tershed. Before 1971, there was no regulatory sys- tem to ensure operators rehabilitated their pits after the extraction was completed. When the resources ran out, the pits were sometimes left abandoned. The site became an unproductive blight on the environment. Fortunately, says Jackie Fraser, president of the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario(APAO), strict regulations have been introduced to ensure operators don’t abandon the pits once they are done with them. In 1971 legislation was introduced to ensure rehabili- tation of quarries and pits after extraction was completed. Many current operators are still governed by this legislation. Rehabilitation after the pit is closed is a great concept. The problem, says Janice Szwarz, senior planner for Clarington, is they “don’t seem to have a sunset. They can stay open indefinitely. They may not actively operate but the site sits open for 100 years,” she says. In the interim, the pit remains. In 1990, the Aggregates Resources Act was tightened up even further to address that issue, says Ms. Fraser. New quarries are now required to provide progressive rehabilitation on the site as phases of production are com- pleted rather than waiting until the entire op- eration has ceased. “Rehabilitation is part of the site plan. As each phase of operation is finished the land must be rehabilitated as part of the agreement in order for a producer to get a license.” Ms. Fraser points to the Lafarge operations in Uxbridge as an excellent example of how previous aggregate sites can be restored to the benefit of the environment. On its Blake pit site, Lafarge continues to extract on the west side of the property but has created a tree screen to the east with more than 40,000 new plantings. On other sites, including some in Durham, the APAO has used an industry-funded trust to rehabilitate abandoned pits that predated the rehabilitation legislation. As well, she adds, numerous studies are re- quired prior to site approval including a hy- drogeological study and an environmental im- pact study. Alex Georgieff, Commissioner of Plan- ning for Durham Region, says from the Re- gion’s perspective, the provincial regulations, combined with Durham’s own, are working well to protect both rural residents and the en- vironment from detrimental impacts. “We have to be satisfied the operation can be sustained with a minimum impact on the sur- rounding community,” Mr. Georgieff says, noting any aggregate application must go through a rigorous official plan amendment process prior to approval. When an applica- tion is being considered citizens may be con- cerned over how the operation will impact the local water table and the effect of truck traffic. The potential for those problems must be ex- amined, and if necessary a mitigation plan must be drafted, as part of the approval process, Mr. Georgieff says. Transportation of the product is another issue for municipalities, says Ms. Szwarz. The heavy trucks eat up the roads and create noise pollution for residents. “It’s similar to a land- fill site in regard to the traffic impact of an op- eration of this nature. It spreads the impact far and wide,” she says. Last year, Clarington Mayor John Mutton was the first of several regional politicians to raise the issue of road damage from aggregate trucks. That municipality, along with other local municipalities and the Region are all asking for a higher levy on aggregate opera- tors to help offset some of those costs. The Province has not yet responded. Clarington has 21 licensed aggregate pits and one large quarry (St. Mary’s Cement in south Bowmanville) that use municipal roads. Of the six cents levied by the Province onto the aggregate producers, four cents goes to the local municipality, half-a-cent goes to the Re- gion, one cent to the Province and another half-cent goes to the industry-managed reha- bilitation fund. On average, Clarington receives about $140,000 a year from the aggregate producers located here through the levy, not enough to compensate for the road damage, says Mayor Mutton. The problem is compounded because many operators are located just outside Durham and therefore don’t pay any levy at all to the Region or its municipalities, says Cliff Curtis of Durham’s works department. Still, these problems are minor in compar- ison to industry-related issues of 30 years ago, suggests Ms. Crandell. She says the industry, especially APAO and its members, have done a tremendous amount of work to improve its environmental track record. “There are big operators who know their image is bad and they’re making efforts, truly making real efforts, to make people aware of what the industry does and what it is capable of. This is a new breed of people,” she says. “The makeup of APAO is very different than what it used to be. These are very environ- mentally-conscious people. With a good reha- bilitation plan and an after-plan for land use, the environment as a whole will benefit.” This is the tenth in a series of monthly fea- tures examining environmental issues in Durham Region. In this story we look at the aggregate industry. Tracking the Environment Rocks of ages Photo by Celia Klemenz Big Brothers and Big Sisters program seeks mentors BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —It only takes one hour a week to make a difference in a child’s life. That’s a message Francie Trajkovski is desperately trying to get out to the com- munity in hopes of finding volunteers for the in-school mentoring program offered by Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ajax-Pickering. About 10 children, aged six to 12, are currently in need of the service and more and more schools are asking for the program, said the in-school mentoring co- ordinator. “But we don’t want the kids to go through the process without having a match for them first,” she said. “And if we don’t have the volunteers, schools won’t want to get involved either.” The in-school mentoring program has 20 matches currently placed in 12 pub- lic and two Catholic ele- mentary schools in Ajax and Pickering. School board officials identify students they feel would benefit from the pro- gram, while Big Brothers and Big Sisters selects and trains volunteers for a good match. “The majority of our kids are just kids with very low self-esteem and looking for companionship,” said Ms. Trajkovski. “They may be kids who are falling be- hind in school because of a behavioural or social prob- lem at home, maybe a re- cent divorce.” Mentors are there to strictly have fun with the children, she said. They spend one hour a week from September to June playing sports, doing board games, and even cooking with one another at the school. “We’re looking for both men and women and they don’t need to be experi- enced,” Ms. Trajkovski said. “Our only stipulations are they must like to have fun, like children and can commit to one hour a week.” Volunteers also have to be over the age of 18, take part in a brief orientation, submit to a police check and interview, and take an hour and a half child safety training seminar. Since the in-school men- toring program takes place during the day, Big Broth- ers and Big Sisters are ap- pealing to corporations to continue to get involved. About 90 per cent of men- tors now are from the cor- porate sector, Ms. Trajkovs- ki said. “Studies have shown employers who satisfy their employee’s personal goals have more productive and happier employees,” she said.

These health professionals will also have a lot of other important things to say during National Dental Hygienists Week from October 13 for 19, so make sure you are listening!National Dental Hygienists Week is a yearly event dedicated to increasing our awareness of preventive oral hygiene. Various events will be held this week to also help Canadians better understand the role and importance of dental hygienists. Some of these events include contests, classroom presentations, mall displays, and tours of dental offices. Regular brushing, flossing, a healthy diet, and cutting back on your intake of sugar—not to mention regular visits to your dental hygienist—are the best ways to ensure a lifetime of great smiles, clear speech and enjoyable eating. As professionals in preventive health care, dental hygienists help maintain healthy teeth and gums, and provide important information and advice. Dental hygienists are trained to assess tooth and gum health, prepare individualized dental treatment plans, and refer patients to a dentist for specific dental treatments. Remember, good oral health goes hand in hand with total well-being. Hey kids! If you want to have some fun, visit the Canadian Dental Hygienist Association kids’website at http://www.smilecity.ca/.

JOSEPH A. MISKIN, DENTIST HWY. 401 HWY. 2 WESTNEY RD.HARWOOD AVE.WE ARE AVAILABLE TO SERVE YOU WE WELCOME NEW PATIENTS WE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES Let’s Ask The PodiatristRonald J. Klein, B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist- Foot Specialist And I Always Thought I Was Perfect It is not uncommon for us to have a foot that is larger than the other or an eye that is stronger than the other. But when one leg is longer then the other, the sec- ondary complications can become quite painful. When the difference is substantial, the effect on gait and posture can be quite disruptive. There are two types of limb- length discrepancies. The first is designated as structural. Here there is an actual difference in the skeletal length of one leg. This could be caused by polio, a hip replacement or leg fracture. The other is known as function discrep- ancy. The actual length of the legs are the same but a curve in the back or a dropped pelvis may lead to leg length differences. Changes in gait occur as your body tries to shorten the longer leg and lengthen the shorter leg. This can be seen in the foot whereby the foot on the shorter side maintains a higher arch and the patient will bear weight on the outside of the foot. This foot on the shorter leg can be prone to stress fractures as the foot is more rigid while the leg on the longer side may be prone to knee strains due to internal rotation of the leg. The common change in pos- ture due to limb-length discrepan- cy is scoliosis, a curve in the back. As a result of the scoliosis, the patient’s pelvis will be tilted down on the shorter leg side; the head and shoulder will be tilted down on the longer leg side and even the level of the fingers when standing erect will be lower on the long side. Even the skinfolds of the gluteal muscles (bum) will be uneven. All this occurs so that the body compensates for the uneven- ness in the length of the legs, and the patient may not even walk with a limp. The measurement of the length of legs is not very accurate. When I do so in my office, I use two different methods and look for a raw difference as I measure from the belly button to the inside ankle, and also from the top of the hip bone to the inside ankle. Tr eatment involves lifts and/or orthotics. Purely structural defor- mities require a lift for the ls shorter leg. Functional deformities are best treat- ed with orthotics. Asymmetrical problems should not be treated lightly. They are one of the leading causes of back problems and the third most common cause of running injuries.

Ron Trbovich, the board’s business superintendent, at the Oct. 7 standing committee meeting, presented a year- end budget update as of July 31, and a forecast for the fiscal year that ends in August. The overall forecast is for a $475,000 surplus by year-end, with a re- port coming to the board next month when all the numbers have been crunched. He said the board would use $3 million from its retirement gratuity reserve to cover the cost of more em- ployee retirements than were planned for when the budget was approved over a year ago. Provincial grant money re- ceived earlier this year covered the extra $2 million for textbooks. Mr. Trbovich discussed the amount of money schools are spending on com- puters, over and above what they receive from central administration. At present, he believes the board will spend $1.57 million more than expected. “It’s significant how much money our schools spend from their block bud- gets on computers; it’s a significant amount,” he said. On the other side of the ledger, Mr. Trbovich predicted the board will spend almost $1.9 million less this year in meeting its debt obligations. Durham Access to Care gets $1 million from Province BY CARLY FOSTER Staff Writer DURHAM ––Durham Region confirmed today it will receive al- most $1 million from the Province for Durham Access to Care. The money is part of $200 million the Ministry of Health and Long- Te rm Care announced July 31 it would invest in long-term care facili- ties. The centre –– one of Ontario’s 43 Community Care Access Centres –– provides in-home and long-term care for people who are elderly, have dis- abilities or were recently released from hospital. Physiotherapy, medical equipment and programs for kids are also avail- able. “There are waiting lists for speech and occupational health services, so we want to tackle them first,” said Janet Harris, executive director of the centre. “Although there’s already a nurs- ing shortage, we want to enhance our nursing services and help recruitment and retention,” she added. The organization received $922,554, which will be added to the current $42-million operating budget. The centre serves many towns in Durham Region, including Uxbridge, Port Perry, Ajax and Oshawa. “You always wish you could have all the money in the world, but this will go a long way to help with the pressure points that concern us,” Ms. Harris said.

HOURS: MONDAY TO FRIDAY 9:00am to 6:00pm Early detection increases the chances of a full recovery Breast health begins with knowing your own breasts. After all, you are the first person who is likely to notice any changes in their appearance or texture. The best way to monitor any changes in your breasts is through monthly breast self-examinations. Once a month, while bathing or showering, take a few moments to examine your breasts. You can also take notes and compare your results from month to month. Women should also have an annual physical examination by a health professional, and those over 50 should have a mammography every two years. These preventative steps are the best way to reduce your risk of breast cancer. While 80 percent of all breast lumps turn out to be benign, you should always be on the lookout for the signs of breast cancer. They can include lumps; an unusual increase or decrease in the size of one breast; puckered or dimpled skin; swollen lymph nodes under the arms; and the appearance of patches where your skin pores stand out. The earlier breast cancer is discovered and treated, the better your chances are for a complete recovery. Knowing your risk factors is another important step to pro- tecting yourself from breast cancer. Risk factors include obe- sity, alcohol consumption, a lack of exercise, and exposure to tobacco smoke. To keep your breasts and your entire body healthy, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, be physically active, protect your skin from the sun, follow regular cancer screening guidelines, and visit your doctor if you notice any changes in your health. Quitting smoking can also reduce your risk of breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but you should be on the lookout for breast cancer all year.

Alliza ThomsBASKIN ROB BI NS BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A resur- gent Dunbarton High School Spartans made a strong case for second place in a battle of city senior football teams Thursday afternoon. Their opponents, the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas, were 2-0 entering the game and appeared to have the inside track for second in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) West Division. A fired-up Spartans team, however, put together arguably its best ef- fort of the gridiron season in a 22-7 victory. The critical victory moves the Spartans’league record to 3-1, behind only the three- time defending LOSSA champion St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs who are still perfect at 3-0. The top two teams in each of the two divisions will play off in the ‘A’ semifinals next month. Spartans’coach Jim Bard- gett was effusive about his team’s performance against a Pumas team that played with far less emotion in the all-im- portant encounter. “We won against a team everyone had touted as being the second-place team,” noted Bardgett. The Spartans won with a balanced offensive attack, as well as strong defensive play, especially in the second half when they caused several turnovers and generally put the opposition on its heels. “We adjusted (on defence) to what they were doing and they didn’t adjust to what we were doing,” he said. “We went with a zone and they were using man-on-man. It seemed to work better against their running game.” Badly beaten 52-8 two weeks ago by the Monarchs, the Spartans have improved markedly since, posting a win over Ajax High last week. The victory over the Pumas, said Bardgett, proves how far the club has come. Pumas’ head coach Bruce Elliott was direct in his as- sessment of his team’s per- formance. A better team beat his Pumas on this day. “They were excited and we weren’t; they were having fun and we weren’t,” he said. “They beat us by two touch- downs. “They were better than us today. I do know that our kids didn’t play as well as they should have. But, I don’t mind losing to a better team.” It doesn’t get any easier for the Pumas. Next Thurs- day, they’ll be locked in bat- tle against St. Mary at Pine Ridge at 7 p.m. And, with lit- tle time to prepare, Elliott is left to wonder what version of his team will show up for the game. “We’ll see what kind of people they are. We’ll see if they can rise to the occasion or not,” he said. The Pumas scored the lone touchdown of the open- ing quarter, as Ola Allen ran it into the end zone. Mike Amato was good on the con- vert attempt. Dunbarton responded in the second quarter with wide receiver Brandon Townsend scoring on a catch-and-run play with quarterback Ryan Bardgett that covered ap- proximately 30 yards. Jesse Athwal booted the convert to tie the contest at 7-7 at half- time. After a long offensive march in the third quarter, the Spartans finally took it to the house. Bardgett capped the se- ries, punctuated by several good running plays by Oliver Salmon, with a one-yard run. In a fake on the ensuing con- vert attempt, Bardgett kept the ball and rambled in for two points and a 15-7 lead. Salmon scored the final touchdown of the game later in the fourth quarter with a 15-yard run. Athwal kicked the convert. The Spartans play at Ajax’s Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Thursday at 1:30 p.m. NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 13, 2002 PAGE 19 A/P j a x S p a r t a ns'MinorBaseball Assoc i a t i o nA REP MANAGERS WANTED FOR 2003 SEASON Applications are now being accepted for the position of Rep Manager for the following teams: Minor Rookie, Major Rookie, Minor Mosquito, Major Mosquito, Minor PeeWee, Major PeeWee, Minor Bantam, Major Bantam, Midget A, Midget B, Junior, Bantam Girls & Women Applications will only be accepted utilizing the Application Form that can be downloaded from our website: www.ajaxbaseball.org For Minor Rookie through Midget, please forward your fully completed application form including attachments to Bill Boston - Rep Convenor 62 Knapton Ave. Ajax, Ontario L1S 5V9.

Bathroom & Kitchen Remodelling Specialists LIMITED TIME OFFER NO PST NO GST ON COMPLETE BATH REMODELLING Advertising Feature PICKERING FOCUS ON BUSINESS Today bathrooms are taking a little walk on the wild side. Especially for those with homes that have three or more bath- rooms. Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart says the latest trend is a bathroom with a theme. “People with larger homes are look- ing for a themed bathroom like Mickey Mouse for the children (see above photo), Mexican and Jungle. You’re only limited by your imagination.” Sam says people also want their bathrooms to be showpieces with beauti- ful and unique furniture (see photo at right). “It’s the perfect way to add value to your home,” he says. “A great bathroom can be a real dealmaker when it comes time to sell your house. Of course many people are preferring to renovate then moving because they love the neighbourhood they’re living in.” It’s this ability to satisfy their customers most exotic needs that has made Plumbing Mart leaders when it comes to bathroom renovations. Over the last 40 years they have established an excellent reputation and have since expanded their specialty to include kitchens and basement conversions. “We already have the best combina- tion when it comes to products and peo- ple,” says Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart. “We’ve done thousands of bathrooms and kitchen projects.” Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the Plumbing Mart showroom is only 15 min- utes from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It's a short drive west on Hwy 401, south on McCowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major intersections to Midland and then just one block north to Plumbing Mart on the west side.

You need money for the school gym and a soft drink company has offered to install vending machines and share the profits with you. The re- sult, of course, will be money for the school, and damaged health for the children. But there is a way for everyone to benefit. Today schools are justifiably criticized for placing soda pop machines within reach of stu- dents. After all, it’s downright hypocrisy to preach the impor- tance of sound nutrition to chil- dren, then allow sugar-laden drinks to add to the epidemic of childhood obesity. One can only wonder why the Minister of Health remains silent while this happens. Excess calories of any kind cause obesity. But there’s no eas- ier way to get an over-abundance of calories than by drinking sugar-laden drinks. The majority of people have no idea of the huge number of calories they consume with soft drinks. The human body simply does- n’t register the calories we drink as much as it does the calories we eat. For example, it’s easy to drink a soft drink and still feel hungry. It’s not easy to eat a couple of ap- ples without feeling full. Several studies have shown how this works. In one study peo- ple were asked to eat 450 calories of jelly beans a day for four weeks. Then for the next four weeks they were asked to con- sume 450 calories of pop every day. On the days they ate the jelly beans they compensated by eat- ing 450 fewer calories of other foods. But on the days they drank the pop they ate 450 calories more than usual. For this reason the sugar in pop is referred to as “silent calo- ries.” They are invariably added to the calories we normally eat, and excess calories eventually equal obesity. Medical consumers are not the only ones who remain unaware of the health implications of soft drinks. I recall telling a former Minis- ter of Health a 10-ounce soft drink contained eight teaspoon- fuls of sugar. He replied, “Oh, is there that much?” But it was ap- parent this fact passed through both ears without making any im- pression, even though he was re- sponsible for the overall health of the nation. If you were to witness a friend or family member putting eight teaspoons of sugar in a glass of water or the morning coffee you would be amazed. You’d probably recommend a psychiatrist. An occasional sugar-laden soft drink isn’t going to kill anyone. But the problem is North Ameri- ca’s appetite for soft drinks has dramatically increased over the years. Wo rse still, over 75 per cent of these drinks are the sugar-laced type. This is just the tip of the ice- berg. It used to be a drink was a drink was a drink. Now, you have the choice of small, medium, large and extra large. The extra- large version contains 620 calo- ries. And if you’re at a movie of- fering free refills and you’re thirsty, three extra large soft drinks is all the calories you need for one day. So what’s the solution? Since it appears these days money de- cides every issue I don’t foresee many school boards saying no to vending machines. But there’s nothing wrong with vending machines if you have the right drinks in them. So, in all this debate I’ve never heard anyone suggest the logical solu- tion, one in which you have your cake and eat it too. Namely, allow companies to place vending ma- chines into schools. But they must substitute sugar-laden drinks with unsweetened fruit juices and milk. This would solve another problem. Today, parents don’t pay enough attention to their chil- dren’s bones. During early school years children must get sufficient calcium to build up bone tissue. Failure to do this often results in osteoporosis (brittle bones), frac- tured hips and ending life in a wheelchair. The best prescription to prevent this tragedy is “na- ture’s near-perfect food,” three glasses of milk daily. Parents who are concerned about their pudgy children should become proactive and demand school boards make the right choice. If you approach a school board, let me know what hap- pens. W.
