Pickering council has ap- proved the idea of connecting the east and west spits. But City staff has been directed to look at phasing in the project over the next three years, rather than in- cluding it in the 2004 budget. Monday night’s vote passed by a narrow 4-3 margin, with some local councillors arguing this was not the time to link the bay, but to save it. “Frenchman’s Bay is on life support,” said Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Dave Ryan, who along with Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick John- son, rejected the plan. “It’s like having a loved one on life support and rather than in- vesting in treatment, we’re buy- ing it a really nice coffin.” He pointed to a recent univer- sity research study, which pre- dicts Frenchman’s Bay has only 10 to 20 years of life ahead of it. About $10 million in storm water management cells is needed to help filter out silt and contami- nants from Hwy. 401 and im- prove water quality. On the other hand, the spit connection would cost $1.3 mil- lion, with the installation of a special boardwalk making up more than 90 per cent. Also in- cluded in the work is cleaning up the spits, new plantings and shoreline stabilization and a fully accessible dock for a corpo- rately sponsored pontoon ser- vice. The City’s support would help the proposal in seeking other government grants, said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land. The project won’t go for- ward, he said, unless a minimum of $400,000 is raised from other Tr ail timetable met with mixed views ✦See Waterfront page 5 CCOOUUNNCCIILLLLOORR DDAAVVEE RRYYAANN ‘Frenchman’s Bay is on life support.’ Pickering man shot Police say shooting was drug related BByy JJeerreemmyy LLee PPaaggee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — A 22-year-old Pick- ering man is in stable condition following a shooting on Ander- son Avenue Thursday night.

In fact, for the many chil- dren who are anticipated to attend the Environment Kids Day at Heydenshore Park on Thursday, Aug. 14, learning about such things is considered good, clean (and green) fun. “The kids come out and absolutely love it,” says or- ganizer Rena Mangal-Ian. Put on by the Ajax-Pick- ering and Whitby Associa- tion for Community Living, children between four and 12 years of age will gather from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for a day full of games, prizes and food. It’s all in the name of educating youth about environmental and wildlife preservation. The Association for Community Living cur- rently supports over 300 families with disabled chil- dren. Each year it sponsors a summer environmental initiative for youth. The As- sociation hires a team of youth - some with disabili- ties and some without - to work along the Whitby Wa- terfront Trail from Thick- son Road to Heydenshore Park. Along with weekly family activity days, the team helps co-ordinate the annual kids day. “We’ve been doing the (kids) day for eight years now,” explains Ms. Mangal- Ian, who says this year’s theme will be the ‘Environ- mental Olympics.’ Children will be divided into groups named after a specific en- dangered animal, she says, and compete together in fun, educational games. Creatures from a reptile zoo will also be on hand. “There are so many en- dangered animals at this point,” comments Ms. Mangal-Ian on the impor- tance of the education for youngsters. “We’re trying to promote learning about (these) animals... nothing too political.” All are invited to attend the free event.

Pine Ridge Arts Council meets City council approves funding BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Pickering is the first official patron of a new arts centre serving west Durham. Local councillors decided unani- mously Monday night to help fund the Durham West Arts Centre to the tune of $25,000 for the next two years. The grant was approved provided the centre secures at least $60,000 in funding from sources other than Pickering. Any future dollars will be based on a review of the two-year pilot program. “The demand is there, the oppor- tunity is there,” said Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan. “People go to downtown Toronto because that’s where you have to go for performance theatre,” he added. “This centre could attract people from Scarborough to Bowmanville. That’s exciting if you think about it.” A fully integrated arts centre is “the next step” in Pickering matur- ing as a “millennium city”, said Carol Bamford, a member of the Durham West Arts Centre commit- tee. “I don’t perform or paint. I come here as a person interested in the arts,” she told council. “I have no talent but there are people who do need a place to practise (theirs).” The Durham West Arts Centre could be open as early as January, if both Ajax and Pickering decide to contribute $25,000 over the next two years. Ajax will consider the matter in September. The group expects those funds will help secure a $35,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant and fed- eral support, with the remainder being made up from corporate sponsors and fund-raising. Modelled after a similar facility in Barrie, the Durham West Arts Cen- tre will start with a $106,000 budget, which will cover the hiring of an ex- ecutive director later this fall and a small art gallery and educational service at the Pickering Town Cen- tre. The group plans to offer outreach art programs at local schools and li- braries, while building the founda- tion for a permanent fully integrat- ed centre. Plans include a perfor- mance theatre, gallery and teaching facilities. “We like the way the Barrie Cen- tre was evolutionary in its growth,” said Terry Green, a member of the centre’s board of directors. The Barrie facility started with $50,000 in municipal seed money and has grown to have a $2-million budget today. Most of its funding comes from external sources, while the City of Barrie continues to con- tribute the same amount, Mr. Green said. Pickering should show the same support for the arts community as it does sports, said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. “If we’re going to be a city we need a full holistic approach and an arts www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 3, 2003 PAGE 3 P NE082A103 ©2003.

Life Bike Rally rides to battle HIV/AIDS BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Every time they climb off their bikes it’s to a crowd of cheering onlookers. Despite giving their time, money and energy many of the participants of the Friends for Life Bike Rally feel they got far more out of the six-day experience than they put into it. This year marks the fifth annual Friends for Life Bike Rally, which is a 660-kilometre journey, beginning in Toronto and ending in Montreal. The purpose is to raise awareness and money for the People with AIDS Foundation (TPWAF). Many of the 176 riders and 65 crew members who have joined the bike tour have been touched in one way or another by the disease, but some have joined simply for the great physical activity. The group began its expedition Monday, July 28 and took a quick detour to Oshawa to have lunch at Lakeview Park before continuing on to Montreal. Raymond Helkio, director of De- velopment and Communications for TPWAF said the ride is about com- passion, understanding and aware- ness. “In each community we visit we are greeted with interest and we hope this helps foster understand- ing of the 20,000 men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS in Ontario,” said Mr. Helkio. “Every community is touched by HIV/AIDS. The ride is our annual way of saying, HIV/AIDS is still here, and people need our services - so please give generously.” Riders must begin training at least three months in advance and meet certain riding requirements before they begin the trip. Often the group will practice by biking 160 kilometres in one day to prepare. The first annual Bike Rally at- tracted just over 20 people and raised approximately $54,000, but over the years the event has gar- nered much attention which will see a total of $470,000 collected this year. “At first I did it for the physical challenge and then I became pas- sionate about it,” said rider Marcia Mayhew, of Toronto. “More and more I realize... the new face of AIDS is heterosexual women between the ages of 18 and 35. It impacts all of us. Every time I ride I dedicate it to my friend who has AIDS.” Ms. Mayhew said she looks for- ward to the event every year and has no plans of retiring her bike any time soon. James Anok, also of Toronto, has been riding every year and said after the first time it motivated him to get fit. “I had to borrow a bike, borrow clothes and borrow a helmet,” said Mr. Anok with a laugh. “When I started I hadn’t sat on a bike in 12 years.” For more information on the bike rally or the Toronto People with AIDS foundation visit www.pwa- toronto.org or call 416-506-1400. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 3, 2003 PAGE 5 P Manufacturers Clearance Centre Lease Expiring Sale - Month of JULY Wednesday - Thursday - Friday 10 am - 8 pm Daily Saturdays 10 am to 5 pm SHOP EARLY FOR SHOP EARLY FOR BEST SELECTION!!

Before we go and embark on Seaton I want to make sure what we have is right.” But Mayor Arthurs said, while he supported the vision, Pickering can’t afford to shoulder the re- maining $900,000 next year. “In the last four to five years, we have completed multiple millions. We’ve made a tremendous in- vestment in the water- front but I don’t think it’s a prudent timely thing to do now,” he said. “We can’t afford to be everything to everyone each and every year.” Coun. Johnson said he was tired of taking calls from constituents com- plaining about Pickering’s rising taxes. “We’re debt financing roads for 10 years. These are mandatory, core ser- vices,” he said. “Find other ways to finance it. When Seaton comes on stream, then go to the closet and pull out the idea.” The proposal passed anyway, but not without revisions. Ward 3 Regional Councillor David Pickles said he didn’t want to shelve the spit connection, but suggested it should be subject to budget ap- proval and possibly phased in to make it more affordable. Oshawa. The three male suspects are described as black, all about 25-years-old. One wore a red unbuttoned shirt. Police are also looking for a white Grand Am or Grand Prix, and possibly a second vehicle, described as a green van. Police say witnesses saw the victim walking with several other men in a parking lot on Anderson Avenue prior to the shooting. In a second incident Thursday, on Nonquon Road in north Oshawa, the sound of gunshots was reported to police at about 5:30 p.m. Police searched the area and dis- covered five bullet holes in a parked vehicle on the street. No injuries were re- ported. “We’re not sure if they’re connected right now,” says Dave Selby, Durham Re- g ional Police media spokesman. “They both happened on the same day... but we’re not sure at this point.” Police ask anyone with information to call 905- 579-1520.

Blood urgently needed If you can donate, do so; you’ll be glad you did and so will others As the messages say on the television, 'Blood, it's in you to give.' Unfortunately, not enough people are giving and the plea to donate is simply not sinking in with the public at large. That's the latest message heard from Canadian Blood Ser- vices, the organization created to monitor and collect blood from Canadians in the wake of the decision to take responsi- bility for blood collection away from the Red Cross. CBS has worked hard to publicize the need for blood but requests sometimes fall on deaf ears. The push is especially strong now because there is only a three-day supply of blood available. Should a catastrophe occur requiring a large volume of blood for an emergency, there might be a crisis. To forestall such a situation, dona- tions are needed and fast. Summer-time typically sees a drop in the blood supply for several reasons: frequent donors often head off on vacation and aren't available to provide a pint when needed and, com- bined with the typical long weekend traffic accident increases in the Greater Toronto Area, more blood is used in the Victo- ria Day-Labour Day stretch. It's a deadly combination. CBS officials advise that, even on holiday, the opportunity to donate blood is still available. A check of the CBS Web site at www.bloodservices.ca or a call 1-888-236-6283 will provide you with the information you need to know to find a clinic somewhere near you. This newspaper also publishes, on a monthly basis, times and places where you can arrange to do- nate blood. Friendly staff will greet you and answer any ques- tions you may have about blood donation. At some locations, you can even make an appointment ahead of time so your do- nation can be made in a quick fashion. Any healthy person at least 17 years of age can donate blood up to six times a year (every 56 days). And each pint of blood donated has the potential to help four different people. The push right now is to collect 650 units of blood each day throughout the Greater Toronto Area - not an easy task throughout the summer. You never know when you, or someone you love, will be in desperate need of a blood transfusion. Be a part of the solu- tion and make the positive move to give blood today. Evolution debate TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Paul Greenwood, in his July 2 re- sponse to opinion shaper 'New book rais- es doubts about theory; makes a funda- mental error of his own when he ridicules "the old chestnut of creation as an alternative to real science." Today many are of the opinion that re- ligion is an alternative to science and there is a realm of faith that is distinct from a realm of fact. However all knowl- edge beyond what we acquire through direct experience can only be accepted on our faith in its source. To demand evolution or creation must be proven sci- entifically makes it impossible for either to be true as neither is repeatable. Mr. Greenwood's statement that no one can be sure of our origin is surrounded by statements showing that he is sure that our origin is evolutionary (even combin- ing evolution with creation). His accep- tance of evolution can only be based on his faith in those who have taught him. My Christian belief in creation is based on my faith in those who have taught me including God. Science can only support a previously acquired belief but is all too often subject to human bias. Daniel Win- ter's column relied on the Bible for its authority. Unless one discards the entire Bible, one cannot discard only the parts of the Bible with which one disagrees, as many have done with the Genesis account of creation. Either all of the Bible must be true, including creation or none of the Bible can be true. Let's not have any nonsense that God used evolution as a tool for creation.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 3, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Trustees needed for the election ballot With just two months to go before the sign-up dead- line, there are only four school trustee candidates in Durham Region. Four candidates for 19 positions on the Durham Catholic and public school boards. The municipal election takes place Nov. 10, and in prior years the last day you could register was a month before the election. This year it's Sept. 26. Sure, I know us journalist types often jump the gun on this kind of issue. I checked my file and saw that in early September 2000, there were, you guessed it, four regis- tered trustee candidates in the re- gion. By the end of that month, with the election just six weeks away, there were nine. Many candi- dates waited until the last minute: when nominations closed in mid- October, 40 candidates were on the list (including acclamations). So there's lots of time, right? People are still on holidays, right? They're waiting to see who else signs up, huh? Probably. So why am I getting a funny feeling? Maybe because I would so like to see a ca- pable group of trustees on the Durham District School Board. This past term the board was a study in extremes - the trustees seemed to be either quite good or simply terrible. There are at least three trustees who likely won't be back. Nancy Lo- raine, the Brock-Uxbridge rep, bowed out of the race at the end of the school year. Doug Ross, the for- mer chairman of the board and a Whitby trustee, is vying for an Os- hawa regional council seat. And Melinda Crawford, a Whitby resi- dent who is currently the Ajax Wa r ds 3 and 4 trustee, has signed up as a Whitby regional council candidate. All three could still change their minds and run as trustees again, but it's unlikely. If you're thinking of entering the trustee race, I applaud you and have some advice. First, do a little homework. There's a lot of informa- tion on the Internet, and you can always phone current or former trustees with a question or two. Second, don't think you have to be an education expert to be a trustee. Common sense is the most valuable quality. Finally, sign up for the right reasons. Trustees repre- sent their communities; their con- cerns are your concerns. That doesn't mean you have to do what- ever your community wants. It means you listen and take those views to the board. Don't come to the board with a hidden agenda.

They include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke (also called sunstroke). Heat stroke and heat exhaustion are the most common types of heat-related illnesses. Heat stroke is the most dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. Heat cramps are the least severe of the heat-related illnesses and often the first signal that the body is having diff iculty with increased temperatures. Heat cramps are painful muscle spasms caused by an excessive loss of salts due to heavy perspiration. Cramps are more likely to occur in the legs and abdomen than in any other part of the body. Those in the highest risk brackets are people working in extreme heat, elderly people, young children, people with health problems and those who are unable to naturally and properly cool their bodies. Treating heat cramps involves getting the individual into a cool place and giving them cool water with a teaspoon of salt per quart. Do not give salt tablets; they can make the condition worse. Mild stretching and massaging of the muscle area is recommended once the condition improves. Heat exhaustion is a more complex and serious condition. Symptoms include nausea, headache, dizziness, mental confusion, exhaustion, overall weakness and a weak but rapid pulse. Breathing will be fast and shallow. A deficiency in the production of sweat and an insuff icient water and salt intake puts an individual at high risk for heat exhaustion. Those most at risk include athletes, f irefighters, construction workers and anybody who wears heavy clothing in hot humid weather. A person suffering from heat exhaustion should be moved into a cool place. Elevate their feet, remove or loosen their clothing and give them cold (not iced) salt water to drink. Replacement of body fluids and rest are usually all that is needed for a full recovery. If not taken care of, heat exhaustion can rapidly develop into heat stroke. If a person’s body temperature is higher than 104 degrees, they are suffering from heat stroke. Some advice for treating heat disorders Continued on page 8 Some moments in your life you never, never forget; the Sunday morning that my father didn’t answer the telephone, for in- stance. And later, finding him lying on the floor with a fractured hip. Watching the gradual downhill course following surgery, with long hours at his bed- side. And finally, death five days later. Suddenly all I had left of the father I loved so much was a box of cinders after cremation. The disaster of fractured hip became imbedded in my mind. Two years ago, Kather- ine Graham, 84-year-old publisher of The Washing- ton Post, died following a fall. Recently, Robert Atkins, 72-year-old pro- tein-diet guru, and 82- year-old newsman David Brinkley, both died follow- ing falls. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists falling as the major cause of unintentional in- jury and death among those ages 75 and up, and the second leading cause for those ages 55 to 74. Some, like my father, die a few days after a fractured hip. Twenty-five per cent will die in the next six months from infection and other complications. An- other 50 per cent spend their remaining lives in wheelchairs. Only 25 per cent return to their former lifestyle. Dr. Mary Tinetti, Profes- sor of Medicine and Direc- tor on the Program on Aging at Yale University, is an expert on falls and the elderly. Her report identi- fying risk factors for falling and methods for prevent- ing them has recently been published in The New Eng- land Journal of Medicine. Tinetti points to one major misconception. Common sense tells us that elderly frail people are prone to falling. But Tinet- ti says it’s the more robust, older people who suffer the serious injuries. The rea- son? The stronger ones are more active and take greater risks. Like my ten- nis friend who, while run- ning to return an impossi- ble shot, tripped and struck a tennis post. The result? A fractured hip. Why we fall is a little like f lying. Experts say most plane crashes are due to “pilot overload”. With too many dials to watch dur- ing instrument landing, at- tention diverted momen- tarily, a fatal crash occurs. Falling is also a combi- nation of factors. We all have nerves in the feet that send messages to the brain. They tell us where we are in space and how to make the next safe step. But as we age, our instru- ment panel gets blurred. Nerves in the feet be- come less sensitive due to diseases such as diabetes or too much alcohol. Our visual depth perception becomes foggy due to bifo- cal, multifocal lenses or cataracts. Medication often plays a major role. Single drugs such as sleep- ing pills, antidepressants and heart pills make peo- ple more susceptible to loss of balance. But add a few of these together along with declining muscle strength and it’s a potent mixture for falling. I stopped counting the number of times I had to drive to Niagara Falls after receiving a call that “Your mother has fallen again”. I’d arrive to find her shak- en and black and blue. Her triple-A personality meant she always moved too quickly. But she had the luck of the Irish, always landing without breaking her hip, and died at age 93 of other causes. Common sense can pre- vent fractured hips. A pa- tient of mine fell off a roof at 84 years of age! His mother should have told him that was dangerous. Others slip on waxy floors, or fall off a high stool while reaching for something. The world is full of ways to trip, slip and fall — a loose carpet, narrow stairs. But I’d place the bathroom high on the risk list, particularly foreign bathrooms that invariably present new challenges and slippery surfaces. The National Institute on Aging offers tips to de- crease the risk of falling. It can be found on the Web at www.nia.nih.gov/health/ag epages/falls.htm Five days later my father was dead DDrr..

FREE CONSULTATIONS Everyone knows drinking water is good for you. But water is also a good place to help you get into shape. A water workout is considered low impact and can benefit people of all ages. Water workouts increase your strength and flexibility, enhance your body’s contours, increase your circulation, control weight, increase you heart’s stamina and help heal damaged muscles. Water workouts have several advantages over regular workouts. In water your weight is a tenth of what it is on land. This gives your body more flexibility than it would normally have and a greater range of motion. Water also gives you 12 times the resistance than air, so moving through water is like working with weights, but without the stress to your joints and muscles. There are fewer high-impact injuries when working out in water. The most popular water fitness activity by far is swimming. Swimming has a lower risk of injury and is less stressful on the joints. You get the benefits of aerobic conditioning, stretching, strength conditioning and flexibility. If you want to start a swimming routine, consult with your doctor first. Always remember for safety reasons to never swim alone. Swimming laps is probably one of the most popular forms of workouts. When you are deciding how to pace yourself, calculate how many laps equal 25 to 50 yards. Then try and complete that number in one minute. For example, if your pool is 15 yards long and you want to swim 50 yards in a minute, you would need to swim about three laps in one minute. Tr y using different strokes to exercise different muscles. Other forms of water activities include water walking, water tai chi, water yoga, aquatic kickboxing and deep water running. All of these are vertical water workouts. Because resistance is 75 per cent greater in vertical water workouts than when you swim horizontally, you can really work your muscles. Keep these tips in mind when doing vertical water workouts: •Buoyancy supports the body and allows you to make larger movements than on land. •Intensity increases as you increase the size and speed of your movements. •Balance and control is created by the sculling and downward movements of the hands. •Before using resistance devices, such as webbed hand mitts, make sure you are balancing your arms and legs to help coordinate and stabilize your moves. •Movements that work the body all around in various places while maintaining proper body alignment are good for muscle balance. •Keep your abdominals tight to support a long, upright spine and tuck your hips slightly (particularly when moving backward) to maintain alignment. •Avoid holding static stretches in cool water. •Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Here are some exercises to try in your own pool: •Jogging from one end of the pool and then pushing back. •Scissor steps with alternate arm punches. There is not as much pressure in water workouts as there is in regular workouts. In water, you don’t have to keep up or worry that someone might see you make a mistake. So jump on in-the water’s fine. Water isn’t just for drinking anymore Other symptoms include mental confusion with possible combative tendencies and bizarre behavior, staggering and faintness. The skin will look dry and flush and the pulse will be strong and rapid. The person can quickly lose consciousness or go into convulsions. An individual suffering from heat stroke should seek immediate emergency medical attention. While waiting for help, get them to a cool place, remove or loosen their clothing, wrap them in wet towels and place ice packs in areas with the greatest blood supply. These include the neck, under the arms and knees, and in the groin. Bed rest for several days is recommended. As with most things, it is better to take the precautions necessary to prevent heat disorders. To do so, avoid any kind of strenuous activities when it is very hot. Drink plenty of fluids, wear light and loose-fitting clothing, and eat salty foods to help replace salt lost through sweat. Make sure any indoor working area has proper ventilation. If you do need to work outdoors, use a sunblock or sunscreen with SPF 15 factor.

Forever Young New regulations pose problems for RRSP holders living in the U.S. An estimated 500,000 Americans and U.S. resident Canadians hold- ing Canadian Registered Retired Savings Plans (RRSPs) may face stiff penalties if they fail to comply with some U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) onerous new rules, warns Jim Yager, treasurer with the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada (Amcham). With only an estimated five per cent even aware of these new re- porting rules, many will not make the Aug. 15 deadline, says Yager. He says that U.S. citizens or Canadians resident in the U.S. who made contributions to or received distributions from Canadian RRSPs or RRIFs in 2002 must fill out a complex six-page form 3520. Failure to file this by the deadline may result in a penalty of 35 per cent of the amount of the distribu- tion or contribution. They must also file form 3520-A showing ownership in an RRSP or RRIF or be charged a five per cent penalty of the gross assets in the trust. If a person makes an election pursuant to the US/Canada income tax treaty and meets other disclo- sure requirements, the filing obliga- tions are reduced, but not eliminat- ed. “People are not aware of these new rules and Canada’s financial in- stitutions are not currently equipped with the information or processes necessary to fulfill these new requirements,” Yager says. ▼▼FY BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa aanndd KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writers DDUURRHHAAMM — Among other things, summer is a time when homeowners look around their houses for renovation work or repairs that should be done before the cold weather arrives. However seniors are often target- ed by fraud artists who will ap- proach them and point out a roof that needs repairing, a furnace that should be checked out, or other jobs. Or sometimes, they may use another ruse to get their foot in the door. Liz, a Clarington senior, was the victim of a crime, when a smooth- talking man showed up in her house. The man, in his 20s, didn’t use the repair scam but he knew she had a cat named Dennis and asked where he was. It wasn’t until later that she found out the man had robbed her. (The names for both Liz and Dennis have been changed to protect their identity.) “I was in my bedroom after din- ner, down the hall calling my daugh- ter. The man appeared at my bed- room door. Talk about shock,” she says. “He was so nonchalant, brazen bold. He asked where Dennis was. I have a cat named Dennis.” It was only then that she realized the man was a perpetrator who had been robbing from homes in the area. Liz was able to chase the man out of her house. She then found out the man had taken her chequebook and bank- book. Liz had to close both ac- counts to ensure the man didn’t get any money. Liz says the man had been target- ing older women who lived alone. If someone knocks on your door offering their services, John Gilker, Detective Sergeant in charge of Durham police’s major fraud unit, suggests you pass. “If you want work done on your house, seek it out, don’t take the g uy who comes knocking on your door at face value,” he advises. The renovation fraud artist might swing a hammer, make some noise and seem to be doing the work, but actually is doing a poor job or noth- ing at all. And in the case of a roof repair, the senior would not know they’ve been scammed unless water starts pouring in. The phone scam is another favourite crooks use to prey upon seniors. The caller says you’ve won a new car - there’s just the matter of sending $750 in taxes and it’s yours. The senior complies, and is then told there are shipping fees. With their eye on the prize, some will con- tinue “throwing good money after bad,” says Det. Sgt. Gilker. Some prize scam victims are too embarrassed to accept that they’ve been ripped off. “You can tell them time and time again, ‘you’ve been scammed here,’” he says. “And then you’re ready to walk out the door and they say, ‘when do I get my prize?’” Seniors who give to someone rep- resenting a charity also might not know they’ve been burned. The per- son representing the cancer society seems legitimate, and in giving $20 the victim thinks they’ve done a good deed. Howev- er the charity might not exist, or perhaps it’s a “fif- teen per-center:” most of the money collected does not go to those it is in- tended to aid. Even more dangerous is the fraud artist who obtains your credit card number or bank card PIN number.

If you’re being pressured, it’s probably not a legitimate deal. Real businesses and charities will give you the chance to check them out. There are ways to pro- tect yourself. First, a legit- imate telemarketer has nothing to hide. Be cau- tious, because you have the right to check out any caller by asking for written information, a callback number, references and time to think over the offer. A legitimate busi- ness will be happy to pro- vide you with the informa- tion. Always be careful about providing confidential personal information, es- pecially banking or credit card details, unless you are certain the business is legitimate. If in doubt, ask some- one you trust, such as a family member, a close friend or even your banker. Further, your best de- fence is to simply hang up. It’s not rude, it’s being smart. Phone tips help separate the good from the bad “Hang on to them and keep the PIN numbers separate, and don’t give them out to anybody,” Det. Sgt. Gilker says. He says fraud artists, who might work out of Quebec, or somewhere else far away from where their victims live, are hard to catch. And even when nabbed, they generally get off with a fine. “The big reason is there are no teeth in the laws; they’re not being enforced.” It might be a cliché, but he says the old adage certainly applies where fraud is concerned: “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.” ▼▼FY Senior scams ✦ Senior from page 10 FREE 50 years of quality, value, service, trust NE082M303 ©2003.

In the past few years, she says she’s attended about 125 concerts annually. “It’s always rock and roll,” she says. “Mostly new stuff. It keeps you young.” The experi- enced concert- goer had no prob- lem arriving at Downsview in time for the first act. She left Pickering at 11:30 a.m. by car, drove to the Sheppard and Yonge tran- sit station and took a shuttle bus. She and her friends were in- side the former military base by 12:30 p.m., in time for Sam Roberts’s performance at 12:50. ‘SARStock,’ as the 11-hour event has been informally named, was headlined by the Rolling Stones in an effort to help repair Toronto’s damaged economy following Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome illnesses and deaths. The massive July 30 crowd has been estimated to range from 420,000 to 490,000. Four- teen- y ear-old Scott Hen- derson of Orono says he’s happy to have been part of history as a member of the largest audience ever assem- bled in Canada. “It was amaz- ing,” says the Clarke High School student, who says he actually saw a couple of friends from school. Scott is an AC/DC fan, and it was the Australian heavy-metal band that drew him to Downsview. Asked if he thought the Rolling Stones - who he’d never seen before - were worthy of headlining the show, he had this to say: “I’ve never seen them perform and they’re not old and washed up if they can perform like that.” Will Henderson has spun his share of records over the years as an Oshawa disc jockey. Unlike his nephew Scott, he’s caught the Stones a couple of times be- fore and isn’t particularly a big AC/DC fan. “I had never seen AC/DC live before and they did a very good job, they had a lot of high ener- gy.” And although there were no real surprises despite rumours celebrities such as Paul McCart- ney and Bob Dylan would make appearances, Scott says there was one surprise, thanks to his favourite band’s frontman, Angus Young. “When he started to strip, it was very surprising,” he laughs. (Mr. Young mooned the crowd, revealing underwear made from what seemed to be a red and white Canadian flag). The lineup also featured Rush, The Guess Who, The Flaming Lips, Justin Tim- berlake, The Tea Party, The Isley Brothers, La Chicane, Blue Rodeo, Sass Jordan and Jeff Healey and Kathleen Edwards. The Stones took time out from their current European tour for the Wednesday concert.” The band members have re- hearsed in Toronto for their last three world tours; in 1994, 1997 and 2002. The Rolling Stones have appeared in Toronto sever- al times during the band’s al- most 40-year history. In 1979, the Stones played Oshawa when a judge sentenced Keith Richards to put on a concert for the blind following the guitarist’s 1977 ar- rest for drug trafficking. But Wednesday’s crowd was so massive; it set a certain tone for the day. “You could turn around 360 degrees and there were peo- ple all around,” says Mr. Hender- son. “It was complete and utter awe.” Kathy and Robin Thomas are friends of ‘Ann-the-fan’ and are also from Pickering. “We made so many friends,” says Mrs. Thomas, 34, who teaches French at Roland Michener Public School in Ajax. “I can’t believe how professional and pleasant Toronto’s TTC drivers and the police officers were. They were just wonderful; it was over- whelming.” The bus driver who drove Will Henderson from Oshawa into the site is Bill Duffy of Port Hope. “He told us, ‘This was a lot easier than last year when the Pope was here,’” says Mr. Henderson. “He was really nice.” Mr. Duffy had him home by 2 a.m. Mrs. Thomas says when Keith Richards dedicated ‘Something Tender’ to those who died of SARS, she cried. “There was a song for peace and then Keith (Richards) dedi- cated a song to all the people who had passed away from SARS,” she says. “There were tears in my eyes. I’m so glad I went. You hesitate when you think about the crowds but it was just very peaceful ... I even met one of my former students there who is now 21.” “I had a wonderful time,” agrees Mr. Thomas, 37. “Al- though I got lost at one point, I’d do it again.” “I wanted to go to Woodstock, but because this was so close to my hometown, it was comfort- able,” says Mrs. Hummel. “I thought it was well-organized, we had a great time and we did- n’t see anybody get stupid or drunk. People were good.” DDOOWWNNSSVVIIEEWW – Over 400,000 people jammed Downsview Park to enjoy a day-long music spectacular dubbed SARStock. ‘Complete and utter awe’ Will Henderson, of Oshawa, shows off the T-shirt that symbolized the event.

Will Henderson/ photo Local football players called up to Team Ontario DDUURRHHAAMM ——Ajax-Pickering Dolphins bantam football play- ers helped Team Ontario to a bronze medal at the annual Wil- son Challenge Tournament in Quebec last week. Six Dolphins players were se- lected to the Central Ontario Minor Football League's (COMFL) Team Ontario, which competed in the tournament against competition from la belle province. In the end, Team Ontario lost only once in three contests in games played at the University of Montreal and at Laval Uni- versity in Quebec City. Team Ontario was quick out of the gate, posting a 40-0 victo- ry over the Quebec select all- stars at the University of Mon- treal. Kyle Exume gobbled up two interceptions, one of which he ran back for a touchdown. He also kicked converts for On- tario. The second game saw the On- tario team lose 9-8 to the Mon- treal all-stars in a heart-break- ing loss. Mike Dearness inter- cepted a pass on his own three- yard line and brought it back 17 yards to keep the Montreal team from scoring. Team Ontario team then travelled to Quebec City where they played in the medal rounds and faced the EMS (private schools) all-star team at the University of Laval. Ontario won 39-26 to attain its third- place standing at the tourna- ment. Dolphins' Jyotin Handa and Byron Metcalfe stopped count- less runs and passes. Brendon Eadie performed well on the of- fensive line to protect the quar- terback. Jim Bardgett, the Dolphins' bantams head coach and also head coach at Dunbarton High School, was impressed with the calibre of play at the Wilson Challenge Tournament. Mostly, though, he was delighted with how well his own players fared at the event. "They play a high calibre of football in Quebec, our team showed we can compete at their level. I was proud of the entire team, especially the boys from Ajax-Pickering," says Bardgett, who was the special teams coach for Team Ontario.
