Among those detained was a man enrolled in a flight school, where training involves flying over the nuclear power plant. As well, two “associates of the group” were questioned by po- lice in April, 2002 after they were discovered trying to enter the grounds of the station. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission said it is taking the arrests seriously but cautioned against jumping to any conclu- sions at this point. “It remains to be seen from the police investigation whether any of these individuals are ter- rorists,” said spokesman Michel Cleroux. “It also remains to be seen whether this person had any particular intentions to- wards Pickering nuclear station, or the Darlington station, for that matter.” The two “associates” detained in 2002 were deemed suspicious when Durham Region police found them outside the gates of the Pickering station. “They requested that they be allowed to enter the perimeter in order to go for a walk on the beach,” the document states. Sergeant Paul Malik, spokesman for Durham Region- al Police, confirmed the early morning incident. The Toronto men, ages 32 and 31, were stopped by members of the nuclear security unit after parking a car near the plant’s gates. “They indicated they had wanted to go for a walk down on the beach. It was a little unusu- al at four-o-clock in the morn- ing,” said Sgt. Malik. The men were “voluntarily de- tained” for a few hours by police, who questioned them about their activities and back- grounds. They were eventually released and a police information report outlining the incident was passed on to federal authorities, said Sgt. Malik.

After hearing recent appeal ar- guments, the court has set aside Mr. Woodcock’s convictions and ordered a new trial. Mr. Woodcock, then 46, and Roshan Norouzali, then 34, were convicted in 1998 of two counts of first-degree murder and a slew of other charges in the bloody gun- shop robbery on Sept. 14, 1994. During the trial, court was told Mr. Thomas, a self-employed car- penter, was kidnapped for his car, taken to a secluded lakefront area near the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station and shot four times in the head, execution- style. His car was then used in the weapons raid at Gagnon Sports, where masked bandits burst into the Simcoe Street South sport- ing store at 5:30 p.m. In 90 seconds of terror, popular businessman Roger Pardy, a 43- year-old married father of two sons, was shot dead and three others were wounded. Nineteen people being detained by the RCMP in a Toronto-area jail are being investigated for possible terrorist links which may have posed a threat to the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.

The victim was waiting in a van for a friend in the parking lot at Liver- pool Road and Bayly Street at 10:40 p.m. when a man walked up to the ve- hicle, exposed himself, reached in through the window and grabbed her, police said. The incident was report- ed and officers searched the area without success.

BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer AAJJAAXX — Messier-Dowty Inc. answered the call when Premier Ernie Eves asked businesses to cut energy consumption by 50 per cent last week. So on Friday, the premier visited the Ajax manu- facturer to deliver an in- person thank you. Messier-Dowty, locat- ed on Monarch Avenue, has been making landing gear in Ajax for over 50 years. It employs about 500 people here. “We met that challenge by shifting the shifts to off hours and reducing energy consumption by switching air condition- ing off and reducing lights and things like that,” said Barry Wohl, vice president, human resources and adminis- tration, in an interview. Mr. Wohl said the Ajax site’s biggest power needs are for heavy ma- chinery and air condi- tioning. As a result, the day shift was moved to the second shift and the second combined with the third, so that all major machinery did not begin running until 4 p.m. Air conditioning was shut off in the office but left on in the cafete- ria so employees had a place to cool off. Office staff was asked to start at 6 a.m. in the morning instead of 8 a.m., which meant they left earlier. “By 3 p.m. we were able to shut the lights off in the office for the rest of the day,” said Mr. Wall. He said Messier-Dowty was able to make the changes without laying anybody off and without any delivery delays to customers. The mea- sures were put in place first thing Monday morn- ing. Mr. Wohl said the company was lucky in that last Thursday’s power outage occurred in the middle of a shift change. As a result, few of the parts produced at the site, some of which cost in the tens of thou- sands of dollars, were being produced and none were ruined. Premier Eves toured the facility and thanked workers for their contri- bution during the crisis. “You are representa- tive of literally millions of Ontarians across the province who all collabo- ratively worked together this week,” he said. As of roughly 3 p.m. Friday, Premier Eves said electricity consump- tion in Ontario was down about 1,100 MW com- pared to yesterday. He announced that as of 8 p.m. Friday night, the state of emergency in the province would end, al- though emergency man- agement offices would continue operating over the weekend. Prosecutors Greg O’- Driscoll and Bryan Davies contended that after the mur- ders, the pair went on to use some of the stolen guns in a six-month crime spree that included a string of violent robberies in the London area. The London heists, which played a key role in the case against Mr. Woodcock, were attributed to thugs police dubbed the ‘Balaclava Ban- dits.’ In a simultaneous ruling this week, Ontario’s highest court dismissed Mr. Norouza- li’s appeal. In quashing Mr. Woodcock’s convictions, a three-justice appeal court panel ruled trial- judge Mr. Justice Harry L aforme erred in allowing the jury to hear what was called ‘similar fact’ evidence regard- ing two of the five London heists. Mr. Woodcock, Mr. Norouzali and a third man, Deryck Thompson, were ar- rested six months after the Gagnon murders, immediate- ly after robbing a St. Thomas grocer store in which a man was shot in the leg, court was told. At the time, Mr. Norouzali and Mr. Thompson were found in possession of guns stolen in the Gagnon robbery, the court heard. All three pleaded guilty to the St. Thomas heist. Mr. Thompson wasn’t charged with the Gagnon murders but he was identified as an alternate sus- pect by the defence. During the Gagnon Sports trial the Crown contended ev- idence relating to the London heists was so “strikingly simi- lar” to the Gagnon robbery, and linked Mr. Nourouzali and Mr. Woodcock to the murders. However, in its 26-page de- cision, the court of appeal ruled two of the five London robberies should not have been admissible at trial. Mr. Norouzali and Mr. Woodcock, the latter still serving a 17-year sentence for the St. Thomas robbery, each received two automatic life sentences. When reached Fri- day, Noel Pardy, son of Roger Pardy, said the court decision is “disappointing.” He declined to comment further, saying only that an- other trial will be hard for the family. Neither widows Nathalie Pardy or Danielle Thomas could be reached. Ev es praises efforts at Messier-Dowty who patrol the Pickering and Darlington nuclear plants, was established in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Most of those arrested were students or refugee claimants and all were born in Pakistan. Officers with the multi-juris- dictional Public Security and Anti-Terrorism unit (PSAT) claimed it was a pattern of be- haviour of a larger “group” that authorities held to be sus- picious, according to a four- page summary dated Aug. 19. A defence lawyer for two of the detained men said what is provided in court as “reason- able suspicion” is innuendo. According to the document, one man raised suspicion be- cause he is currently taking commercial pilot lessons to qualify as a multi-engine com- mercial pilot. His flight path for training purposes flies over the Pickering nuclear power plant. “He often brings with him an unknown male as a passen- ger. His instructors have de- scribed him as an unmotivat- ed student,” the document states. “The average time- frame for qualification is ap- proximately one year. The tar- get has been training in Cana- da for almost three years.” A no-fly zone was imposed on the skies above the plants, however, police have had re- ports of aircraft passing over the stations, said Sgt. Malik. However, when asked about the possibility of a flight school being able to fly over the plants, Mr. Cleroux said the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CSNC) has never required any of the country’s nuclear plant to have no-fly-over zones. “They’re difficult to enforce and impractical,” he said. “It would be like saying to air traf- fic, ‘You can’t go over South- ern Ontario.’ How would you get to Pearson International Airport?” Soon after Sept. 11, the CSNC ordered nuclear plants to step up security by provid- ing immediate armed re- sponse on site, enhancing se- curity screening of employees and contractors, protecting against force vehicle entry, and searching personnel and vehicles. Still, the commission is often asked what would happen if an airliner crashed into a nuclear power plant. Built with a number of safety features to protect public health, buildings at the plant are extremely resistant and robust structures, Mr. Cleroux said. They also have automat- ic shutdown systems in the event of accidents. “People also ask us if the stations have anti-aircraft bat- teries. I can’t say yes or no be- cause it’s a matter of security,” he said. “But we have always said the best protection against the use of aircraft as a weapon of terrorism is security at the airport. It’s far better than no-fly zones and anti-air- craft batteries.” —Torstar News Service with files by Lesley Bovie and Stephen Shaw Suspicious activity at nuclear plant Ernie Eves tours the Messier-Dowty plant with Colin Fernie the Group VP business and regional aircraft. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo ✦ Suspicious from page 1 ✦ Victim’s from page 1 Victim’s son calls ruling ‘disappointing’ Grow homes tap in during week of conservation BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — As a provincial power crisis continues, police have pulled the plug on a marijuana grow home they say was stealing huge quanti- ties of electricity in Pickering. A 32-year-old man has been charged with several offences, in- cluding theft of hydro. Armed with a search warrant Wednesday, members of the drug enforcement unit raided a home on Sheppard Avenue, where officers discovered 594 pot plants growing under high-intensity heat lamps. “Officers confirmed that hydro was being stolen and discovered a sophisticated marijuana growing operation throughout the house,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, spokesman for Durham Regional Police. As Ontario residents and busi- nesses are forced to conserve limit- ed energy supplies in the wake of last week’s blackout, vast amounts of electricity were stolen via an ille- gal hydro diversion to power the pot lab, police said. “The criminal element isn’t too worried about conserving energy,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Last year, police shut down more than 100 grow homes in the region, almost all found to be stealing hydro. And, “many more” still-undetect- ed drug labs are likely siphoning hydro, even as the Province’s power supply is pushed to the max. “They aren’t metred, these are il- legal bypasses, so there’s no way of measuring how much electricity these homes are stealing,” said Sgt. Malik, adding the residential grow operations also pose a serious fire- safety threat. George Armstrong of Veridian Connections, electricity provider for Ajax and Pickering and other parts of the region, said a single grow op- eration typically uses about 30 kilo- watts of hydro - 10 to 15 times the average home’s normal usage. “They are energy intensive. It’s definitely contributing the province wide problems,” he said. While many consumers have been making sacrifices by conserving en- ergy “there’s a certain irony” that As well as the marijuana, with a street value of $112,270, police also seized about $4,000 worth of grow- ing equipment from the home, he said. Among the equipment were 40 high-intensity heat lights. A man accused of running the op- eration was taken into police cus- tody. Thai Nguyen, 32, of Teakwood Drive, Mississauga, is charged with possession of a controlled sub- stance, possession for the purpose of trafficking and theft of hydro. He was detained in custody pending a bail hearing. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 24, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P YO U ’RE HOME AT THE BLACK DOG PUB. 18 AWARDS FOR GREAT FOOD,SERVICE AND AMBIANCE. 87 ISLAND ROAD WEST ROUGE (416) 286-4544 WWW.BLACKDOGPUB.COM LIGHTS ARE ON!

By all accounts - there will always be exceptions - Ontari- ans have done as well as could be expected given the recent heat wave. We've kept our cool even if we haven't been able to chill out. Everybody deserves a hand, but, at this tough time, there are some who badly need and rely on a generous community handout. Local food banks throughout Durham have been swamped with phone calls from people with no food to spare who took a real beating during the blackout. Much food was spoiled as refrigerators and freezers were out of power for just too long a stretch. These are people who can't afford to take the kids out for dinner, who don't have extra non-perishables stocked up on their shelves. They're hungry and they need help now. The need is intense and there's only so much food to go around. Yo u 'd be doing your neighbours a tremendous service if you picked up an extra bag of non-perishable items on your next trip to the supermarket. The in-demand items are canned meats (tuna, chicken, etc.) peanut butter, canned fruit or canned vegetables. Pasta is always a food-bank favourite and cereal is also a sensible donation choice. It's easy to do, costs little, takes only a few minutes of your time but means so much to people right here in Durham. This is one act of giving where you can be absolutely certain 100 per cent of what you provide will be consumed by some- body who lives nearby. They will be truly thankful for your consideration at this difficult time. Just to show our govern- ments have a heart and are trying to assist, some who re- ceive social service assistance in Durham have received emergency cheques to tide them over due to food spoilage during the blackout. One Oshawa single mom, who receives $790 per month, got a top-up of $223 to help out after about $100 in food was lost during the blackout. While amounts will vary and not everyone on assistance will be eligible, it's heartening to see our government agencies are doing what they can for our neediest. The terrific joint effort is appreciated. We certainly know how to handle ourselves in an emergency. It's heartening to see our better natures revealed. Article on marine appreciated TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: It was with great joy I read the article regarding Daniel Patterson (Aug. 16). For the past four long months I have spent a great deal of time talking with his father, Dave, and anxiously awaiting news of his safe return home. I am one of the nurses who work at the plant where Dave has been employed for many years. I remember reading the first article of Daniel in Baghdad sitting on a curb with two young boys in the middle of all the frenzy, and seeing a very relieved father who had just discov- ered his son was safe. His pictures and articles are proudly on display in our medical unit. As parents we continually worry about our children's well-being and Dave and Roberta are more than wor thy of all the media attention at this time. As a parent of two daughters very close in age to this young man I cannot even imagine the Pattersons have been through and am thrilled to join them to welcome Daniel home this weekend. I congratulate them on raising a fine young soldier and look forward to meet- ing Daniel after a very long tour of duty. Thank you for bringing this very impor- tant story to the attention of Durham Region, you have made my day.

Sounds great but here's the rub. The lead minister on the task force is Herb Dhaliwal, minister of natur- al resources and a British Colum- bia MP. His knowledge of Ontario's power industry is limited by the fact that his ministry plays no role in operating this province's electric- ity supply. In Canada, that is a provincial responsibility. The fact Mr. Dhaliwal has been criticized on many occasions for being less than forthcoming when communicating key information to his counterparts in Ottawa on the ITER project is less than encourag- ing especially when it relates to speculation that regional politics may have played a role in that. Now he is our point man for our electricity interests. Minister John Manley joins Mr. Dhaliwal as does Kenneth Vollman, chairman of the national energy board and Linda Keen, chairman of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Com- mission, the nuclear regulator. Missing from this picture is any- one directly involved at a provincial level with our electricity production and delivery, anyone with key knowledge of the intricacies of how this grid works and what is in On- tario's best interest. In negotiations, knowledge is power and a strong self-interest re- ally helps too. When it comes to what is good for Ontario, it is ques- tionable if Mr. Dhaliwal has either. There are nuances to negotia- tions that only someone with direct experience will pick up on and be able to counter if needed during any deal process. Politicians, after all, are politicians, and they can shake hands and smile but ulti- mately, they want the best deal for those they represent. We need On- tario's voice there. It is true the half dozen states in- volved in this don't have represen- tation either. But Mr. Dhaliwal's counterpart on the task force, Sec- retary of Energy Spence Abraham, has been instrumental in pushing for legislation on this grid system for two years and comes armed with a good knowledge of its machi- nations. Besides, with numerous states involved, it could be onerous to have each one at the table. The Canadian situation is different. This is an Ontario concern, full stop. Period. We deserve more than a token seat at the working sub- committee meetings. We can only sit on the sidelines and hope Ontario's grid system hasn't become a bargaining chip for a larger federal agenda.

Pickering Recreation Complex had to be evacuated when a small fire broke out on the roof of the squash courts at around 7:30 p.m. Close to 300 people were in the building at the time, cutting short a blood donor clinic and altogether cancelling a Picker- ing Boyer Pontiac Panthers exhibition game. Pickering Fire Services are still investi- gating a cause. No one was hurt in the in- cident. This week, Pickering Recreation Com- plex has been designated the City’s official retreat from the heat for the public, given the call to conserve power. “We evacuated the entire building be- cause there was some smoke entering it from above,” Everett Buntsma, the City’s director of operations said Friday. “Today, our programs are operating as normal but we’ve cancelled our fitness programs because there is still some smoke smell,” he said. “With people work- ing out, we didn’t want them to inhale that.” The City’s consultants are still trying to estimate the damage caused by the fire, but Mr. Buntsma believes it won’t be a “high number.” The recreation complex re- ceived only minimal damage, he said. With blood supplies hit hard by last week’s power failure, Canadian Blood Ser- vices had hoped to collect at least 72 units at the Pickering clinic. Having to close up shop 30 minutes early meant clinic staff were only able to bag 40 units. Nearly 1,000 units were lost last weekend when clinics were shut down across most of the province, said clinic recruitment co- ordinator Deb Cairns. “But because the public have responded so well to the call for blood, we’ve managed to recover half of what we lost,” she said. Her staff are hoping to recoup what was lost Thursday night at two clinics being held in Pickering and the surrounding area this coming week. Donations will be accepted Monday, Aug. 25 at St. Dunstan of Canterbury Church, 56 Lawson Rd. (at the bottom of Port Union Road) in Scarborough from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m.; and Wednesday, Aug. 27 at Holy Redeemer Parish, 796 Eyer Dr. in Pickering from 4:30 to 8 p.m. For more information about clinics, con- tact the Canadian Blood Services at 1-800- 2-DONATE. Hot night at cooling centre PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Pickering is starting to power up this week. The City will return to full service levels Monday (Aug. 25) with some services al- ready coming back on line this past week- end. Hydro officials have indicated its safe to return to normal service, but “given what we have learned over the past week, conservation continues to be the prudent, wise and responsible thing to do,” said a City press release. On Saturday, Library hours were re- stored at Pickering Central Library, as well as the Petticoat, Claremont and Whitevale branches. The doors were also open at all community centres. Sports lighting was switched on Friday and Saturday in parks hosting tourna- ments, some of which had been scheduled as early as last December, said director of operations Everett Buntsma. Other fields will be fully operational Sunday for regu- larly scheduled league games.

Gingerbread Nursery School Stock dropped after blackout BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Supplies were low and the line-ups long at St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank Tuesday morning. “The shelves are really low,” said director Rae Coulter. “We don’t have any tin fruit, no pork and beans, and we’ve had to use our money to buy juice.” “We’re also out of tin meat like salmon and tuna. There’s only one box left,” she added. Only open on Tuesdays during the summer months, St. Paul’s staff found a line-up formed out- side their door on Pickering Parkway when they arrived to work yesterday for the first time since Thursday’s blackout. Most were regulars who could- n’t find very much at grocery stores over the weekend, said Ms. Coulter. “I didn’t hear many stories (about big food losses),” she said. “These people don’t have a lot to lose. They don’t stock up freez- ers.” Some of her regular users said they actually benefited from the goodwill of neighbours, who gave away their defrosted meat during the blackout. As for St. Paul’s, Ms. Coulter said she returned Tuesday to find most of its per- ishables still in tact, thanks to a deep freezer and industrial refrig- erator. But with grocery stores struggling at the moment to stock their own shelves, the food bank has been cut back “drasti- cally” on its regular shipment of items like fruit and eggs, she said. This comes at a time when the cupboards at St. Paul’s were al- ready particularly bare. Ms. Coulter attributed it to the rising cost of food, and that people tend to forget about food banks when they are busy vacationing in the summer.

The society is expanding its spring daffodil campaign begin- ning in September by selling daffodil bulbs in support of can- cer research and services for people living with cancer. “Daffodils have always been a sign of spring and a symbol of hope for people living with can- cer and their families. “Every April, Canadian Can- cer Society volunteers sell live blooms and this year we have decided to also sell bulbs for those who are planning their gardens for next year,” said Moira Alley, the society’s volun- teer vice-president. “Please don’t think we are wishing the rest of summer away, but fall is coming!” Bulbs can be pre-ordered by calling 905-430-5770 or 1-800-668- 78 30, or visiting 12 Stanley Crt., Unit 3 in Whitby. Bulbs are sold in bags of 10 for $6 and will be available for pick- up the week of Sept. 15. For more information about the society and its services call 1-888-939-3333 or visit www.can- cer.ca. Daffodil campaign on the grow Gateway gas station gets ex p ansion despite some neighbours’ concerns BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — The owner of a gas station sitting at the “gateway” to Picker- ing’s waterfront, has won a long battle to add a conve- nience store to his busi- ness. But local residents were disappointed by council’s decision late last month to allow the store to go ahead because they aren’t con- vinced it’s a positive addi- tion to their neighbour- hood. For two years Ramesh Patel has been trying to expand his Olco gas sta- tion at the corner of Kros- no Boulevard and Liver- pool Road and for just as long, Pickering council has resisted, against the ad- vice of City planners. In October 2001, Mr. Patel asked to add a con- venience store to the gas station, along with a dry cleaning depot. Picker- ing’s planners considered it appropriate develop- ment for the site but coun- cil refused the dry clean- ing use and allowed in- stead limited sale of acces- sory convenience items. Only coffee, chips, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, cigarettes and bev- erages were approved at that time, in single serv- ings for “immediate con- sumption by the travelling public”. Now, Nick Patel (Mr. Patel’s son) said there is a need to expand the prod- uct line so the store can remain competitive. “Let us sell milk, candy and bread,” he urged Picker- ing’s committee of the whole before it approved the amended zoning Mon- day night. “We have 20 customers a day, who ask for gum and we can’t give it to them,” said Mr. Patel, who was speaking on behalf of his father, away in India at the time. “We’re trying to make a living. My dad came to Canada and for what? This is what he gets.” Some residents, who at- tended the meeting, said they feared more traffic, while others didn’t think there was enough growth in the area to support an- other convenience store. “We need diversity, not duplication,” said Mau- reen Charlton, an employ- ee at the nearby Bay Ridges Market. Most of the concerns ex- pressed by area residents are on “economic grounds”, not “planning impacts”, pointed out Mr. Patel’s planner, Jassie Khurana. The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) deals only in planning im- pacts, he reminded coun- cil. Rather than taking that route, his client prefers to co-operate with the City, he said. Traffic won’t be an issue, he added, be- cause the convenience store will be serving the same customers as the gas station. Council will also have more control over the esthetics of the property through a site plan worked out with staff. “We want to clean up the place but right now, we can’t even hire employ- ees to work inside (the station),” Mr. Patel added. While “empathetic” of the station’s owner, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said the “end use I’d like to see the property become is not a gas station.” The rezoning would be a “further en- trenchment” of the site. “It’s in the heart of the Great Lakes nautical vil- lage (on Pickering’s water- front) and that’s not what I want to see there,” he said. But Mayor Wayne Arthurs pointed out the City owns a portion of the property fronting onto Krosno Boulevard. Picker- ing could be passing up a good opportunity to work with Mr. Patel on land- scaping the corner as a “gateway” to the water- front, which would be ulti- mately more pleasing to neighbours as well, he said. “I’d rather see the costs relating to an OMB (hear- ing) be diverted else- where, into far more pro- ductive means,” the mayor added. “I don’t think we can operate on the basis that if we do nothing we can force this particular business out of business.” PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — The Picker- ing East Shore Communi- ty Association (PESCA) recently rewarded local green thumbs and com- munity supporters at its Volunteer Appreciation and Garden Awards Din- ner held recently at the Pickering Nuclear Infor- mation Centre Auditori- um. This event is held every two years to honour com- munity volunteers who give their time to ensure that the list of programs available at the East Shore Community Centre con- tinue to operate. Last year’s garden win- ners are Gloria Pinkney, Shiv and Nooma Tilakdin, Ute Reese, Tim and Rita O’Connell, Bill and Sue Hamilton, and Horst and Helge Appelmann and were recognized at the re- cent awards dinner. “It was a great night for everyone involved,” said Sylvain Trépanier, PESCA president. “It is always a great moment in the com- munity to be able to show your appreciation to those who work so hard to make life in our neighbourhood enjoyable. Volunteerism is the cornerstone of our community. When we see the dedica- tion people commit to on a weekly basis, it is the least we can do for the people whose help we could not do without.” Partnerships through- out the city allow the asso- ciation to go that extra mile in our community, said Brian Evely, director of public relations, “We could not have put on our Volunteer Appreciation and Garden Awards Din- ner without the assistance of our sponsors,” he said. PESCA is accepting nominations for the 2003- 2004 Garden Awards. Fo rward your nomina- tion to PESCA for consid- eration.

Durham Region’s department of social services is handing out tens of thousands of dollars in emergency cheques. “We decided that in cases with a legitimate situation where food spoiled during the blackout we would make extra funds avail- able,” said Paul Cloutier, director of income support. “This is the segment of the population that is least able to withstand some- thing like this, because their monthly incomes are so low.” Social assistance benefits are doled out depending on the size of family. A single person typical- ly receives $520 a month, where- as a single parent with one child can get up to $957 monthly. Two adults with two children are eli- gible for up to $1,214 a month. Mr. Cloutier said the depart- ment is handling each request for extra funding on a “case-by- case” basis. He said hundreds of calls have come in already, although things seem to be slowing down as the week goes on. One such call came from Lisa Patterson, who ended up receiv- ing $223 in emergency funds. She lives with her three-year-old daughter and normally gets $790 a month. She said her south Os- hawa apartment went 26 hours without power when the black- out hit, causing her to lose more than $100 in groceries. “I really appreciate it, but I was kind of surprised they gave me so much. I was thinking like a hun- dred bucks or something, but it is going to help out a lot,” she said. “The thing is, it’s probably not fair that some get it and some don’t.” Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette said he was happy to see social services stepping up to the plate to help those in need. “I think it’s important,” he said. “It’s not any sort of provincial directive,” added Mr. Cloutier. “We are just applying our defini- tion of emergency funds. We be- lieve it’s an emergency, when people have no food their health is at risk.” Durham’s neediest get emergency bucks from government DDUURRHHAAMM — Green bins for kitchen waste aren’t necessarily overflowing with spoiled food after last week’s blackout, says the Region’s manager of waste management. “Most (residents) are double- bagging (the waste) in its exist- ing packaging and placing it in the regular garbage collection,” says Peter Watson, noting pack- aging is not allowed in the green bins used for the food-waste col- lection program. “Because the spoiled food is al- ready thawed and in packaging, residents are correctly bundling it up in plastic, and placing it out for regular collection.” But so far, in spite of the length of the blackout, Durham residents haven’t been clamour- ing to get rid of rotting food. “The spoiled food issue wasn’t as significant a problem as we anticipated it might be,” says Mr. Watson. “The Region opened up its waste disposal sites last Monday for residents to dispose of spoiled foods, and there was a low turn-out. It generally has seemed to be a non-issue.” The green bin doesn’t floweth over Grand Opening in Whitby Come to our grand opening and experience the thrill of finding that perfect something for your home at unbelievable prices.

According to the Oxford American Dictionary, a symptom is a sign of the existence of a condition, especially a perceptible change from what is normal in the body or its functioning indicating disease or injury. We are so distracted by life that we endure symptoms until they multiply or just get unbearable and we are forced to do something. Symptoms are really a blessing in disguise alerting us to a problem or condition that needs attention. It’s absurd to endure symptoms for years then hope a doctor can undo all the damage. If you have symptoms such as headaches, irritable bowel, constipation, sinus problems, fatigue, weight gain or others, remember: Your health and happiness are your responsibility. So here is your checklist for well- being: • Air quality - fresh air and deep breathing • Water - quantity and quality • Food - quality and possible allergies or sensitivities • Exercise - frequency and variety • Rest - amount and quality • Stress - amount and management ability Indoor air pollution is said to be more harmful than outdoor pollution. Look to your home f irst. Remember to change your furnace f ilters, limit your use of chemical cleaners and make sure your home has proper ventilation. Water is extremely important as our bodies are over 70 per cent composed of it and need it for our cells to function properly. Be fussy about the quality of water you drink. Food has an enormous effect on our well being that’s why it’s important to have your allergies and sensitivities tested and have a complete nutritional assessment. Many clients tested have found they have been eating food they are sensitive to, sometimes all of their lives, and have suffered terrible symptoms as a result.

His new location is 95 Bayly St. W. Suite 506 Ajax 905 428-0210 2002 Are your doctor and chiropractor wo r king together for you? Since the Health Professions Act passed in Ontario in 1996, there are now five professions that are entitled to use Dr. in front of their name: medical physicians, dentists, psychologists, optometrists and chiropractors. Everyone knows that optometrists, psychologists and dentists have clearly recognizable areas of specialization. However, there seems to be some misconceptions about how chiropractors fit in. There are those who would have you believe that chiropractors “crack” backs and necks only. Some are of the opinion that chiropractic can heal everything from tonsillitis to cancer. Neither of these statements are entirely true but chiropractors have earned an important place in our health system. Like your family doctor, the chiropractor has spent many years learning about the disease and injury. They have both shared most of the same courses and with the same number of hours dedicated to each. The difference is in the approach to treatment. Where your family doctor may decide the appropriate treatment includes drugs or surgery, the chiropractor will look for a neurological basis, and manipulation is an answer. The chiropractic philosophy is that since every organ in the body is supplied by nerves, which come from the spine, why not look there first to see if the problem can be corrected? While a good family doctor recognizes that not every problem can be fixed through medication or surgery, not every good chiropractor believes that all health problems come from the spine. In each case, the “good” family doctor or chiropractic doctor will assess your problem, do the appropriate tests and then decide on a course of treatment, which may see you go to someone else if that course seems better. In my 18 years of practice, I have run across good doctors and bad doctors, good chiropractors and bad chiropractors. I have treated medical doctors, including specialists, who were truly interested in my approach to the problem. I have had patients who have told me that their doctor absolutely forbade them to see a chiropractor under any circumstances. In these cases the patients just stopped telling the doctor they were getting chiropractic care. I personally believe that the patient is best served when the family doctor has taken the time to try to understand the patient’s desire to seek other forms of care and to try to cultivate relationships with chiropractors who are like-minded with the health of the patient as their goal. Your chiropractor and your family doctor work for you and should respect your wishes. If you find that either one seems to be more concerned with having you stay as a patient than they are with getting you better as quickly as possible, you should start asking your friends to recommend a new one.

The Pickering resident is representing Canada at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships, which started Saturday in Paris, France. Fabulous Felicien Pickering hurdler gets gold in Zurich PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A city hurdler finished her preparation for the IAAF World Track and Field Championships with an outstanding result at a Euro- pean meet last week. Perdita Felicien tuned up for worlds in her specialty -- the 100-metre hurdles -- by competing at the Weltklasse Zurich Golden League Meet in Zurich, Switzerland Aug. 15. There, she captured the gold medal in 'B' event in the women's 100-metre hurdles. Best of all, she ran to a new personal best of 12.67, run- ning one-one hundredth of a second faster than her previ- ous personal best of 12.68. "Naturally, I was happy to run a personal best," Felicien said in a story that appeared on the track meet's Web site. "I wanted to come in the top four or perhaps even on the podium. Today, I struck a few hurdles, and there was a light head wind. I think I can run into the 12.5s in my next meet." Felicien finished ahead of L acena Golding-Clarke of Ja- maica, who took the silver medal in 12.72. Another Ja- maican, Vonette Dixon, fin- ished third in 12.72. The two-time defending NCAA champion moved up from sixth in the world to fifth in the world in the 100- metre hurdles with her time at Zurich. The 'A' event in the women's 100-metre hurdles was won by American hurdles legend Gail Devers in 12.50, with Brigitte Foster of Ja- maica finishing second and Miesha McKelvey of the U.S. in third place. Earlier this month, Foster edged Felicien for the gold medal at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Racing out of lane 1, an unfamiliar place for Felicien, she ran to the silver medal in a time of 12.70 seconds. Felicien will now move on to the world championships in Paris, France, which start- ed Saturday, Aug. 23 and con- tinues until Aug. 31. Nightmare weekend ends well for racer Stuart Nodell overcomes adversity for second-place finish AAJJAAXX ----Despite a weekend fraught with problems, an Ajax motorcycle racer was still able to get onto the podium after Round 5 of the Can-Am 125 Grand Prix Challenge Series in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec last Sun- day. Despite a poor start, rider Stuart Nodell placed second in the series event at Le Circuit in a race that ended well, with plenty of challenges along the way. The weekend began on a negative note for team rider Stuart Nodell as the Nodell Motorsports racing team's tow vehicle was stolen from their hotel parking lot. The team, however, was able to stay focused on the task at hand. Unfortunately, this was followed by another setback as he qualified his Canada Post/The Bear Chair Co.- backed Honda RS 125 in 20th posi- tion. Nodell was penalized for over- shooting the chicane at turn 1 twice during the shortened 15-minute timed qualifying session. The penalty was three laps for each mistake. For the start of the 12-lap final, Nodell came from the middle of row six. To make matters worse he had a poor start, but recovered by the end of lap 1 in sixth position. Just before the half-way point in the race defend- ing champion Nodell was in third po- sition and closing in on the leaders when the race was red-flagged due to a crash in turn 15. For the restart, Nodell was in fifth position as race of- ficials gridded the field based on the last completed lap. At the restart of the six-lap shootout Nodell had another poor start but was third at the end of lap 1. Nodell could only gain one other posi- tion to put the Bridgestone-mounted rider in second place behind eventual winner Corey Sherman. "I am pleased with our result today considering how far back we came from," said Nodell following the race. "However, getting a second chance at the win and not capitalizing is disap- pointing." The team's next event is final round of the Can-Am 125 Grand Prix Na- tional Challenge Series at Shan- nonville Motorsport Park Aug. 31. The Nodell team sits in second place in points with a mathematical chance to repeat as champions. Nodell Motorsports is on the web at www.nodellmotorsports.com. Raiders get head-start DDUURRHHAAMM ——The Ajax-Picker- ing Raiders atom 'AAA' rep hockey team is getting the jump on the competition with an official training camp at the Ajax Community Centre this week. No more sleeping in for this group of 10 year olds as the atom Raiders officially started the pre-season, with the camp running from Monday to Fri- day from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. and has the players on the ice twice daily. In addition, the players are also attending team strategy sessions to prepare for the up- coming season and are in- volved in learning team goals, practical rules of conduct, nu- trition and fitness. The high pace of the camp, says head coach Steve Horner, shouldn't overwhelm the play- ers since they have been work- ing out all summer with fitness programs including strength and cardiovascular exercises and are expected to come to camp prepared to work hard. Horner has even thrown in some non-hockey activities such as touch football and ulti- mate frisbee to ensure the week is both fun and challeng- ing. Pre-season exhibition games will be held in September with the first real test being the Ajax-Pickering Raiders Tour- nament Sept. 12 to 14, followed by the London Junior Knights 'AAA' Tournament Sept. 26 to 28. Team members are for- wards Robbie Affleck, Jake Bannister, Steven Deeg, Chris- tian Kirk, Jordan Kotsopoulos, Tyler Malone, Jordan Minos, Tyler Trail and Adam Valadao. On defence are Jake Buckler, Scott Desroches, Alex Fortin, Jacob Lessard, Eric Mitchell and Eric Rizzo. Between the pipes are goaltenders Hugh Hill and Kristoff Lyons.

Ajax-Pickering squads open season with football wins DDUURRHHAAMM ——Ajax-Picker- ing Dolphins Football Club teams got the league sea- son started on the right cleat, taking three of four games from the York-Sim- coe Bucks in contests played in Newmarket last weekend. The tykes got the ball rolling by whitewashing the Bucks 51-0. No scoring details were available from the contest. Next, the atoms also won decisively over York- Simcoe, winning 38-0. The Dolphins defensive provided outstanding play. The defensive front four caved in the Bucs' line on numerous occasions. Peter Iyamu was outstanding, scoring a touchdown off a deflected pass, and caus- ing havoc for the Bucs along with linemates Matt Blum, Jamel Watson and Florian Schlosser. Line- backer Kiel Whelan had a fumble recovery and sever- al tackles. The Dolphins' offence was smooth under the di- rection of quarterback Tosh Miller Francis who threw several completed passes including a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Oram. The backs had a great game led by Kyle Goffe with a touchdown and four conversion kicks. Tristan Garnett had sever- al good runs along with Jonah Wynter; Myles Daly added another major to account for the game's scoring. Game stars included cornerback Andre Shand and linebacker Greg Far- rell who knocked down a pass that led to a defensive score. Linebacker Alan Forsythe had a strong game returning punts, in- cluding one for a touch- down that was called back. Quarterback Jesse Kelly scrambled for a first down: Tight ends Josh Smith and Dave Hassell and receivers Dave Wilson and Stephen Sampson also supplied strong efforts. Meanwhile, the peewees also blitzed the Young Bucks 44-6. Quarterback David Priestman scored the first Dolphin touchdown on a 20-yard sweep. Priestman hooked up with Travis Thomas for a 25-yard touchdown pass. The Dolphins continued to put up points in the sec- ond half, scoring 28 to put the game well out of reach for York-Simcoe. Running back Tristan Ming chipped in with a 45-yard touch- down romp and then rook- ie quarterback Andrew Lim hooked up with re- ceiver Thomas for a 55- yard pass-and-run touch- down. Jermayne Goodridge added to the lead, scoring on a 55-yard sweep. Quarterback An- drew Lim scored on a keeper play to end the scoring. Dolphin place- kicker Alexander Ko chipped in with eight points through converts. Middle linebacker Keith Hunter led the defence with his relentless pres- A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 24, 2003 www.durhamregion.com book now... travel... pay later!* Aruba Holiday Inn Sunspree 7 nights • November 30, December 3 /03 All Inclusive • Standard Room $1,499 Sunquest Vacations Barbados Club Rockley Barbados 7 nights • December 1 /03 All Inclusive • Studio Room $1,799 Sunquest Vacations Jamaica Holiday Inn Sunspree 7 nights • November 29, December 6 /03 All Inclusive • Hotel Room $1,399 Sunquest Vacations St.Lucia Club St. Lucia by Splash 7 nights • December 1, 8 /03 All Inclusive • Super Saver Room $1,649 Sunquest Vacations Santa Clara, Cuba Melia Cayo Santa Maria 7 nights • January 4, 11 /04 All Inclusive • Standard Room $1,329 Sunquest Vacations Manzanillo, Cuba Club Amigo Marea del Portillo 7 nights • Nov. 6, 13, 20, 27, Dec. 4 /03 All Inclusive • Hotel Room $799 ALBATours Santiago de Cuba Club Valtur Los Corales 7 nights • January 8, 15 /04 All Inclusive • Hotel Room $1,069 ALBATours La Romana, Dominican Republic Playa Real Beach Resort 7 nights • November 30, December 7 /03 All Inclusive • Hotel Room $1,049 ALBATours Acapulco, Mexico Los Torres Gemelas 7 nights • January 6, 13 /04 All Inclusive • Ocean View Studio $1,109 ALBATours Cozumel, Mexico Melia Cozumel Golf & Beach Resort 7 nights • November 29, December 6 /03 All Inclusive • Deluxe Room $1,499 Sunquest Vacations Mayan Riviera, Mexico RIU Tequila 5 nights • February 12 /04 All Inclusive • Hotel Room $1,549 Holiday House Cancun, Mexico Crown Paradise Club 5 nights • February 12 /04 All Inclusive • Hotel room $1,619 Holiday House Check for the latest prices & availability Sears Travel locations nearest you *See Sears Travel for complete details, terms and conditions.

Defensive corner Collin Lee and defensive back Mitchell Whyte were solid. Key blocks by wide receiver Mark Fedosen allowed the Dolphins to execute successful sweeps against the Young Bucs.
