Pickering reactors back online ‘in next few days’ BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Pulling the wrong fuse and a weakened weld caused three nuclear reactors to come off-line last week. Ontario Power Generation se- nior vice-president Pat McNeil told the Community Advisory Council Tuesday a control tech- nician removed the wrong fuse last week, which led to Unit 8 being taken off-line. Hours later, in the early hours of Wednesday, March 12, an op- erator found a water leak on the non-nuclear side of the plant, and that meant Units 5 and 6 had to be taken off-line, he added. Unit 7 is in the middle of a planned outage, Mr. McNeil said. When the wrong fuse was re- moved, it affected the boilers, causing the shutdown systems to start operating and powering the unit down. He added it was a “non-rou- tine shutdown,” but there “was- n’t a risk” to the public. “The shutdown systems worked and worked well. Howev- er, we’d rather not test these,” he added. “We’re doing an investigation into the root cause. It’s still under investigation.” One of the items being looked at is redesigning the fuse box. An operator doing his rounds Wednesday found demineralized water leaking from a joint on a condenser pipe. “It was cracked to the point he could see water weeping. We think it’s a mechanical stress,” he stated. “When he reported it, the challenge came to what to do. The decision was made to take the units off-line.

With Oxford's personalized programs and low teacher-student ratio, your child will see results almost immediately. - Preschool - O.A.C. - Improved Confidence - Higher Self-Esteem Your child’s education’s is a partnership consisting of your child, teachers, and parents. Many parents have a hectic work schedule and a busy social life, including the organization of their children’s extra-curricular activities. To get the most out of your time with your child, and to keep involved in your child’s education to the fullest, here are some ideas. It is important to keep in constant contact with your child’s school. The administration is always interested in talking with interested and involved parents. Parents with flexible work schedules can volunteer to help out in the classroom. You can always become involved with the school Parent Teacher Association. Regardless of the amount of time you commit, any effort to establish a link with your child’s school will be of great benefit. One of the most important things you do each year, is establish a friendly and cooperative relationship with your child’s teachers. They nurture and develop your child’s learning. They have a genuine interest in seeing your child progress over the year. Imput and feedback from the parents is important to teachers. The parent- teacher interview is an appropriate time for cooperation to take place. Following the interview, try to keep in regular contact with the teacher. You might want to send him/her an occasional note, demonstrating that you have a genuine interest in your child’s development. Always listen to what your child tells you. Ask your child specific questions related to school work. Do not stop at “How was your day?” Ask what he/she learned in math, to describe any science experiments that he/she conducted, or to read journal entries at the dinner table. Help your child when he/she is having difficulty doing some homework assignment. Seek professional help if you notice a persistent problem in some subject area. Show your child how to organize his/her time with a planning agenda. Above all else, show confidence and pride in your child! There is nothing like praise and encouragement from you, the parent, to help your child develop self- esteem! Editorial supplied by Grade Expectations Staying Involved in your Child’s Education Power back on this week the valve, we had to take the units off-stream.” That meant units 5 and 6 had to be powered down. Staff personnel “walked the line and saw two or three other welds that didn’t look as well as they could,” Mr. Mc- Neil said. “Our concern was the crack would get bigger and bigger and we would have to take them off-line.” The crack was found be- tween 4 and 5 a.m. and by the middle to late afternoon, both units had come off-line. “We expect Units 5 and 6 to be back in service in the next few days,” he said, adding Unit 8 would be a few weeks due to other maintenance work required. In order not to affect the price of electricity, “OPG made a decision not to make it public,” Mr. McNeil noted. OPG contacted the Inde- pendent Electricity Market Operator (IMO) and was told there was enough power in supply so the units could be taken off-line. The two reac- tors produce 1,000 megawatts of power. “We decided not to release public information,” but that “got us into the situation the general public wasn’t getting factual information,” Mr. Mc- Neil said. “We’re in the process of rethinking our communication policy. “This wasn’t a safety event in the nuclear sense.” Mr. McNeil noted Pickering and Ajax officials were noti- fied, as were MPPs in the sur- rounding area. “It’s a credibility issue,” said CAC member Liz Oliver. “You can’t really keep secrets. The media will get hold of it and then you’re not in control of it.” Al Goodall added, “When we first started this process, the biggest concern people had was OPG was there but wasn’t telling us what was happening. “You’ve gone to great lengths to bring those walls down.” ✦ Power from page 1 Board believes talks going well, teachers say sides further apart BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ——Public school board and elementary teacher representatives had very different perspectives of Thursday’s contract negotiating ses- sion. Roughly 2,400 teachers, the Durham District School Board’s largest employee group, have been working-to-rule in local schools for two months and in a position to strike since December. Sally McIlveen, the board’s employ- ee relations superintendent, de- scribed it as a “very productive” meet- ing. She said the board had made “slight improvements” to the mone- tary package it had offered teachers, and also responded to other, non- monetary issues. “The board team spent the day tak- ing a close look at the items that are still outstanding and making a re- sponse to them,” Ms. McIlveen said. When the board and Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) side next meet, on April 7, and teachers respond to the offer, she said “we may be much, much closer to a resolution.” ETFO representative Rachel Gencey, the Durham unit president, didn’t see it that way. In fact, she be- lieves the two sides are further apart. “That’s very interesting,” she replied when told of Ms. McIlveen’s comments. “I’m not sure what meet- ing she went to. We didn’t find it to be a very productive day, to be quite honest.” The board’s money offer was split up into two pieces, said Ms. Gencey, and works out to be poorer than the last one. “If you do your math and sharpen your pencil... it actually comes out to be a lower percentage than the previ- ous offer,” she said. “The bottom line is it’s less money.” As for the non-monetary issues, Ms. Gencey complained that the board addressed items that both sides had dropped from the table weeks ago, which she termed, “not very productive”. She said the two sides were face to face for only 10 min- utes or so when you consider the board spent most of the day putting together an offer. “Our belief is that if you’re going to make an offer you should do your homework... instead of coming to a meeting and spending six-and-a-half hours putting together an offer,” she said. “I just think that’s a total waste of time.” The union might have thought it was “a slow morning”, said Ms. McIl- veen, admitting the board spent a lot of time putting together its package. “It takes a long time when you ac- tually sit down to discuss language in issues,” she said. Ms. McIlveen said the board has guaranteed it will give teachers the salary increase in the second year of a contract that the Province is expect- ed to outline in its March 31 education grant announcement for the coming school year. Previously, the board was offering 3.1 per cent hike in the first year with a wage opener for the sec- ond. However Ms. Gencey wasn’t im- pressed. “We’re not comfortable with anything along those lines,” she said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, March 23, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P Brock North Dental OPEN EVENINGS & SATURDAY CONTACT US AT 905-427-7773 • DIGITAL X-RAY • INTRA ORAL CAMERA • TV IN OPERATORIES • KIDS PLAY STATION 2 • DIRECT BILLING TO INSURANCE NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS 2200 Brock Road in the Brock North Plaza Dr. Fernandes, Jill, Robbin,Mary, Michele, Michelle, Donna, Vanda, Dr. Pacione, Angie, Angela, Brenda, Dr. Sbaraglia ( Anaesthesiologist) Not Shown - Dr. Dagher (Endodontist), Anna, Julianne Coming Soon-Orthodontist Yo u’re invited to a great meal Buy One Entrée, Get One Free!

Committee OKs request for Rick Johnson’s property BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The City’s committee of adjustment has granted Rick Johnson a building permit for his north Pickering property, despite an Uxbridge council resolution to table the issue for further review. The Pickering regional councillor plans to build a house and several barns on a 100-acre lot near Uxbridge-Pickering Town Line Road and Sideline 8. But, to get the permit, he first had to apply for the minor variance because the proper- ty is located on a non-publicly main- tained roadway. It’s the same process many of his neighbours have followed to build on their properties, said Coun. John- son. “I just want the same rights as anyone else,” he added. Committee chairman Kevin Ashe said Coun. Johnson’s application isn’t an unusual request, but point- ed out the five-member panel of local residents subjected it to un- usual scrutiny. “We were very sensitive to that,” he said, of the property’s con- tentious history. “The application had a lot of scrutiny to it, much more than if Mr. Johnson wasn’t a councillor. We went that extra mile to be fair.” The panel approved the building permit, which provides for access along Town Line Road but with sev- eral conditions. Before any con- struction or improvement takes place on Town Line, Coun. Johnson must submit plans to the City. Any roadwork must comply with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and provide access for emer- gency vehicles and abutting Toronto Region Conservation lands. Within two years the regional councillor and Pickering must formalize an agreement that among other issues, will state Coun. Johnson is responsi- ble for clearing snow and maintain- ing the unopened portion of Town Line. But, Uxbridge council takes issue with the way the application was treated. Although it was tabled back in November 2000, Councillor Bever- ly Northeast pointed out that pro- posal outlined access from Sideline 8. “As far as we’re concerned this is a brand new application,” she said. Uxbridge originally launched a lawsuit in 2001 after learning Coun. Johnson had cleared Sideline 8 and Town Line Road to reach his land- locked property. However, an agree- ment was reached between the two municipalities and Coun. Johnson, requiring him to restore the road and replant trees to specific stan- dards. Coun. Northeast said Uxbridge Township will look at Wednesday night’s decision to determine if it al- ters that agreement. “I would hope we could come to an appropriate agreement,” she said. “I think enough time and money has spent on this. It’s time to move on.” Brian Buckles, who lives about a mile away from the area on Uxbridge’s 7th Concession, said Sideline 8 would make a more logi- cal access since it is already publicly maintained just south of the John- son lot. While Mr. Ashe said the commit- tee couldn’t determine if the Trans- Canada Trail exists along Town Line Road, Mr. Buckles, a member of Uxbridge’s Trans-Canada Trail Committee, argues it does. “I don’t know what they’ll expect us to do now when we hit the Uxbridge-Pickering Town Line,” he said. Still, Mr. Ashe contends his panel felt the issue had been “studied to death” and all of its concerns had been addressed by the conditions. Uxbridge council was just one of a number of groups that responded to the application and just as many proponents were in support of the plan, including Toronto Region Conservation, he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, March 23, 2003 PAGE 5 P New unsold SINGER HEAVY DUTY FREE ARM ZIG ZAG SEWING MACHINES for sale to the public for a limited period.

I remember that I was never satisfied until the huge bag of potato chips was empty. I ate when I was bored. I ate when I was nervous. I ate for no reason at all!

Not when you consider the current state of our military and the clear signals the Canadian people have sent to politicians over the past few decades. Military spending has, to say the least, not been a priority by Liberal or Tory governments since the 1960s. Instead, the feds have devoted resources to health care, social services, and, in recent years with surpluses to deal with, to cutting taxes. When it comes to the priorities of this nation, unlike our big brothers to the south, military spending is well down the list. An increase of $800 million per year was announced just last month by Finance Minister John Manley for the military but that won't have an effect until several years from now. Our traditions include tremendous contributions and vic- tories at Vimy Ridge in 1917 and D-Day in 1944 and we can all be very proud of the excellent service of our veterans. They deserve our thanks. But the Canada of those years is no more, nor should it be, nor can it be. We can't afford the massive spending and the decimation our universal social programs would face if we made military resources our top priority. But Canadians can, and do have a huge international con- tribution to make. We can provide humanitarian aid, we can take in refugees who need shelter from the actions of ruth- less dictators around the world (including Saddam Hus- sein), we can offer a prime example of how people from all over the world can live together in peace and harmony. Through the United Nations, we can provide peacekeep- ing forces to help maintain stability in some of the most un- pleasant places on earth. In Afghanistan and, perhaps soon enough, in Iraq, we can offer highly trained professionals willing to participate in the tricky prospect of nation-build- ing and regime change. Ultimately, while we share a border with the United States and are joined together in so many ways with our American neighbours, we are under no obligation to follow the U.S. into every foreign policy initiative it deems important. We will continue as each other's largest trading partners and, with the U.S. and UN support, we will continue to battle acts of terrorism. But do we really have the resources for combat? What are your thoughts on the war in Iraq? Share your views at forumsdurhamregion.com Political will seems lacking on education front TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: For a brief, sparkling moment it ap- peared sanity got a foothold in the edu- cation system when two of our Catholic trustees declined to attend a conference at a fancy resort. No cue here for the teachers' unions to moderate their demands. Only esca- lating job actions fomented by what would appear to be a hooligan element. This we can judge from the disgusting treatment of Education Minister Eliza- beth Witmer in Toronto, the handling of report cards and a slew of other ob- structionist items designed to annoy school boards and politicians. To heck with parents and students. These people continue to escalate their demands without any demon- strated interest in offering correspond- ing improvements in their product. It has long stopped occurring to them that they are here to serve the students, their parents and, indeed, every taxpay- er who is contributing to their financial well-being. For decades they have warred with every government of every political stripe in power, while indoctrinating the students in the classrooms through a campaign of disinformation, regardless of the impact on parents' pocketbooks and personally held views. In the mean- time they have built some of the most powerful and richest unions in the coun- try, based upon their well-above-aver- age incomes, the more to exert pressure at will and whim. This is long past the point where he who pays the piper calls the shots. The longer this goes on, the greater the courage and clear-headed thinking required to reverse this trend. Options such as designation as a "vital service", or a wide-open system allowing other forms of education to compete, seem the most logical choices. Sadly, at this stage neither the incumbents at Queen's Park, nor the challengers, ap- pear willing to confront the issue.

Tories budget move eliminates debate The government that doesn't welcome debate and criti- cism is a weak one; a party ig- noring political opposition shows signs of little confidence and fear on the part of its leaders. The decision by Premier Ernie Eves to delay reconvening the legis- lature until a speech from the throne on April 30 wasn't politically wise. The change is not based on a whim, rather it's a campaign strat- egy and opens the party up to much more criticism than it would have received if it kept to its sched- ule. And if anything, I feel sorry for Mr. Eves's MPPs, who were un- doubtedly caught off-guard by the change in plans. But Mr. Eves claims the break is about "understanding and hearing what the people of Ontario have to say." If that's the case, then why doesn't he reconvene the legisla- ture, and continue debate with the individuals chosen democratically to represent the people of Ontario? That's what they're paid for, after all. There hasn't been a legislative meeting -- the basis of our political system that allows debate -- since before Christmas. It will be more than four months between sittings by the time MPPs finally meet in the legislature again. By then, no doubt, criticism of the March 27 televised budget Finance Minister Janet Ecker will deliver away from the legislature will have cooled off. No, the move doesn't guarantee a spring election. But it does get the ball rolling for a campaign where muzzled Liberal and NDP MPPs temporarily sit on the sidelines and watch. I'm sure an election, which doesn't have to be called until June 2004, will be held in either spring or fall, because these are the seasons in which the population spends less money on hydro, due to less ex- treme temperatures outside. Perhaps the fact a budget has never been delivered outside the legislature suggests there is a rea- son it is delivered there. Just be- cause people seem to accept every- thing else fed to them via satellite should not mean an important event such as a budget should be announced like a CNN-style "break- ing news" press conference. Of the 200 or so Ontarians allowed to at- tend the budget reading, how many will ask tough questions or chal- lenge the integrity of the govern- ment's decisions? A confident government should welcome queries about its policies. A government of the people should not ignore the questions of its op- position. But although debated budget readings and March legisla- tive sessions are tradition in On- tario, so is letting the political party in power have its way.

I could say that you will likely find the answer in Yoga, but that is only a partial truth. What you will find in Yoga is the ability to ask yourself the right questions, thus leading you to more questions, leading you further to a possible answer to your original question. Sound confusing? It can be. The mindfulness that yoga cultivates is a long process of getting to know yourself and then getting to know others by learning about yourself. Your yogic path will begin with postures and mediation to start connecting with yourself. In Yoga, the postures and mediation go hand in hand. Take the Wa r rior posture for example. Starting this off from a runners lunge; repositioning hands from the floor to your thigh; collecting your balance and elevating your arms towards the sky with your fingers pointing upwards. Try this yourself now. How do you feel? This is a basic posture that cultivates inner strength, both physical and mental. Warrior pose is only one of the many postures that are practiced in Yoga. While in this posture you are encouraged by your instructor to turn your attention inside yourself and feel the posture: whether you like this position or not and theories of why: the meditative side of Yoga. there that mind, body and spirit thing again-nothing that elusive or mind boggling! Simple thoughts with progressive postures. This is the beginning of getting to know yourself and connecting with your inner self. All questions can be answered. Turn inward and just listen to your inner voice whispering the answers. Everything you need to know is within: the only place where you will find who you are and your purpose. Of course there is more to Yoga than this. But this is a start and you don’t have to go further if you don’t want to or if you are satisfied with our current level. But the opportunity is there if you want it. No one will be forcing you. Your choices are your own to make. Indeed, if you wish to go further in your yogic path, you will have to do your own homework. At Greenwood Yoga Ltd, we are here to start you off but your development is up to you because it is unique and very personal. Dare to explore the inner-self journey through yoga!

Billboard MARCH 23, 2003 www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, March 23, 2003 PAGE 11 A/P BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––It used to be you'd work to 65 and then put your feet up on the coffee table. Like just about everything else, 'retire- ment' has changed. Jim Adams, a former deputy chief with the Durham Regional Police Service, re- tired in 2001 but was recently sworn-in as a part-time investigator with the Special In- vestigations Unit, the provincial body that investigates incidents involving police. Mr. Adams spent 28 years with the Durham force. Bev Freedman, a superintendent with the Durham District School Board recent- ly retired, but she isn't leaving the working world. She's taken a contract position with the Ministry of Education, as well as an- other with the provincial supervisory offi- cers' organization. The board's com- munications man- ager Mary Brown jokes about all the people who have 'retired'. "It's funny, com- ing to work at the board, there are all the people whose re- tirement parties I went to and they're all back at the board," she says. "I find all kinds of people who re- tired and their faces are still here." Ms. Brown is one of those people, having retired but now back at the same position, filling in for a maternity leave. In fact, she's replacing the woman who replaced her. Ms. Brown works three days a week and is scheduled to be on the job until the end of April. Assuming the position was a case of both the school board needing someone and Ms. Brown being aware of the opening. "They were aware I was willing to come back over the winter months," she notes. "I have a garden and I enjoy golfing, so I pre- fer to be outside when the weather's nice. So, it's worked out very nicely." She'd been retired for about 18 months before coming back. "My husband had been retired eight years and I just had a lot of other things I wanted to do," she states, adding coming back wasn't as difficult as she anticipated. "Very, very little had changed. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be," she says, noting that after two or three days, "in some ways, it felt like I never left." She'd been at the board for 16 years, hav- ing been its first communications manag- er. One of the advantages of her current position is working the part-time sched- ule. "It was probably more difficult to find something that allowed me to find my own schedule. To find something in a part-time range," Ms. Brown says. "I was- n't looking for anything. It worked out well for me and for the board." Stepping into her old job makes com- ing back easier, she notes. It would have been difficult taking a new job for a six- month period, as there would be "so many people I have to get to know." She adds, "Whether I would have started something in another field, I'm not sure I would." Getting back into the swing of working again was surprisingly easy, Ms. Brown says. "I wouldn't say I was rusty. It felt like I'd been away for a couple of weeks and someone had hung different pictures on the wall, but I didn't feel a huge gap." It was also easy to retire, she points out. "I thought I might find it difficult. I found it was like I was going on vacation and not coming back," Ms. Brown says. While admitting her game needs work, Ms. Brown praises golf, saying "It's a good thing to do outside and you're walking for four hours every day." When retiring "I've heard it's important to have something. I filled in the first few months. My con- cern was the winter be- cause I'm not a skier any more or a curler. I didn't find it difficult at all. "Yes, you need a hobby, something to go out. There were some things I wanted more time for, but I didn't have." Would she stay beyond April? "If something happened that the person isn't back until May, there's no difficulty. If it was a full year, I'm not sure." Brian McTavish would also want "some- thing really worth going back for." After 32 years with Ontario Hydro and its successor, Ontario Power Generation, Mr. McTavish retired June 1, 2001. For the next 13 months, his time was his own. Then an opportunity came along, so he took it. He's now the president and chief executive officer of the Candu Owners Group. "We're a non-profit corporation, with vol- untary funding by our members," he says. Membership is made up of owners of Candu nuclear reactors from around the world, including Canada, China, Romania, Pakistan, India, Argentina and South Korea. It's a chance for Candu owners to share information and exchange ideas to "improve the safety and reliability of the plants". Mr. McTavish retired because "I'd reached the point I'd done what I set out to do in my career." He retired as site vice-president of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Mr. McTavish was 54 when he "left the build- ing", noting "We have an excellent pension plan, so I took it." Retirement also gave him the chance to do things around the house he hadn't been able to get at. A chemical engineer by training, he started with the old Ontario Hydro in 1970. "I had some time off. You always retire, you have some sense of loss for the people you're working with. It was quite exciting," he notes. "I certainly in- tended to take the summer off. I hadn't done that in over 30 years. My wife and I had some trips planned to- gether. "I had some great time off and relaxed. I caught up on a few things around the house. I had a lot of odd jobs I'd been putting off." He came out of retire- ment as "an opportunity came along, a position opened as a contractor." Mr. McTavish works in downtown Toronto and still resides in Pickering. As for commuting, "I can't say I'm thrilled with it." He describes his two-year contract posi- tion as being "basically self-employed" and it "fits with my background." It wasn't his first chance to rejoin the working world. "I had some opportunities very early on, in the nuclear industry." But, he turned them down because "I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enjoy my retirement time." As for taking another position once this contract expires, he says anything's possi- ble. "I'll try to do this job as well as I can. If the opportunity for something comes along, I'll do it. As long as my health is good." Too young to retire More and more people calling it a career, only to start again Mary Brown is back on the job for the Durham District School Board. The communications manager was retired for about 18 months be- fore returning to her former position. CELIA KLEMENZ/ News Advertiser photos Af ter 32 years with Ontario Hydro and Ontario Power Generation, including a number of years at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (above), Brian McTavish called it a career. However, after 13 months of travelling, taking time for himself and doing jobs around the house, he is now president and chief executive officer of the Candu Owners Group. The non-profit group shares in- formation about the reactors around the world. ‘It was probably more difficult to find something that allowed me to find my own schedule. To find something in a part-time range. I wasn't looking for anything. It worked out well for me and for the board.’ MARY BROWN P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, March 23, 2003 www.durhamregion.com SSppoorrttss SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 The fine print Scores and more...

Tw o Annandale Curling Club teams — one in each of the boys’ and girls’ events — won their way to the region- als in Minden March 22 and 23. Kaitlyn Leslie and her teammates Kayla Bianchi, Tracy O’Leary and Lau- ren Hong won the zone ‘A’ side in a four-team double knockout. Meanwhile, in the boys’ draw, Tim March advances along with Matt Pyne, Patrick Janssen and Ian McKnight. The March rink won the ‘B’ side of the five- team draw Sunday morning in a game hosted at Annandale. Lesley Pyne and her team of Heather Bell, Leahanne Legrow and Stacey Hogan finished in second place in both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ finals. ••• Tw o Annandale rinks competed, but neither was able to advance beyond the JVC Mixed Regional playdowns at Weston Golf last weekend. Warren Leslie skipped the team of Brenda O’Hara, Dave Hutchison and Lynette Gray, while skip Jason March led the team of Kim Bourque, Blair Me- trakos and Tracee Nemeth. A win at regionals would have meant a trip to the Ontario champi- onship at the Whitby Curling Club April 9 to 13. ••• Annandale hosted the annual St. Pat’s Mixed Bonspiel Saturday. The full draw of teams competed in three six- end games. Ten out-of-club teams par- ticipated. Three-game winners were the home team of Paul Boyland, Susan Boy- land, Larry Valianes and Janice Connor. They received first pick at the prize table. Other three-game winners were Heather Deeprose of Avonlea, and Carl Vickers and Leonard Franssen of An- nandale. Leslie, March teams on the move Club to host big competition in Pickering next month DDUURRHHAAMM ——A group of first-year competitors from the Durham Syn- chro Swimming Club (DSSC) came out on top at the recent Waterloo meet. The Durham squad — with swim- mers who are new to the sport — performed an outstanding routine to capture the gold medal out of 16 teams. Team members are Tracy Kolodzinski, Elizabeth Lovell, Kayla Malcolmson, Allie Mear, Samantha Putos and Tara Roberts. Sarah Rowe, a Grade 12 student at Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, coaches the team. ••• DSSC’s tier 6 national team beat out tough competition from across Ontario to capture the silver medal at the recent provincial trials at the University of Guelph. On the team are three local girls, Jordan Anderson and Kirsten Fem- son of Pickering and Julia Maclean of Ajax. Other members are Sophie Baetz-Dougan, Danielle Henry, Bri- anna MacLellan and Katie LePage. The Durham team’s tier 6 duet, Baetz-Dougan and LePage, earned silver. Maclean placed a strong fifth in the solo competition. DSSC’s tier 7 national team won the bronze. Team members are Lau- ren LePage, Lianne Doerr, Katie Cor- nish, Lisa Doerr, Lindsay Maclean, Cassie Kolodzinski and Alison Rogin. Holley Lundmark coaches the team. The tier 7 national duet team of Cornish and LePage won bronze. Maclean placed a strong fifth in the solo competition. ••• The tier 7 and tier 6 teams took top honours at the recent Provincial tryout meet in Ottawa. As well, the duet team of LePage and Baetz- Dougan came out on top, swimming to Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’. ••• The club has a busy schedule ahead. The teams head to Montreal this month and compete in Victoria in May. On April 26, the DSSC hosts Syn- chro Ontario’s regional swim meet at the Pickering Recreation Complex pool.

Whether a failing power steering pump, hoses, gearbox, rack and pinion, noise, leaks, or hard steering, all could be related to the quality or condition of the power steering 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 electro- chemical degradation. The more the fluid breaks down, the more it will be contami- nated. Sludge and varnish are the main byproducts. Sludge and varnish starts to cause clogging of valves, which in turn causes higher and higher pressures, 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 lat- est 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 revi- talize the seals and O-rings of the system. Call today, don’t delay. Avoid a costly repair to your power steering system.

Scoreboard MARCH 23, 2003 AAJJAAXX ——Feeling the ef- fects of the March break, the Bank of Montreal and East Side Mario’s engaged in a low-key affair in Ajax Ladies’ Basketball League action Wednesday. In the end, Mario’s pre- vailed by a narrow 29-28 margin. Initially, neither side could find its shooting range and many minutes passed before there was a point recorded. Mario’s, however, began to find its scoring touch to complete the first half. The bankers came out strongly in the second to close the gap. With less than a minute re- maining, East Side kept possession and the bankers had to foul to stop the clock. The bankers had one last shot to take the game but missed. Erinn Lynch got seven points for East Side; Pam Roper and Colleen Weter- ing netted eight apiece for the bankers. In the second game of the night, Donlands Jew- ellers hung on for a 30-28 victory over Select Food Products. Barbara Armstrong scored 10 points for Don- lands and Kevina Morri- son replied with 12 for Se- lect.
