And if traffic at public meetings and online doesn’t reach a magic num- ber, Durham plans to poll residents on waste disposal options. Durham and York regions are jointly seeking a solution to their long-term garbage problem, as trash is currently shipped to Michigan, an option that appears to be on bor- rowed time as the State has voted Pickering wasting its chance to speak up Mixed results for Pickering hospital on waiting time site By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Cardiac angi- ography and cardiac angioplasty patients aren’t waiting as long for care at the Rouge Valley Health System as those at other Ontario hospitals. According to a wait times website launched by the Ontario govern- ment Monday, of the hospitals reporting for cardiac treatment Rouge Va lley has the third shortest wait time in the province in those areas. For cardiac angiography the average wait time in Ontario is 18 days, while at Rouge Valley it is 10. For cardiac angio- plasty the average wait at Rouge Va lley is four days, versus nine across the province. Rouge Valley president and chief executive officer Hume Martin is proud of Rouge Valley’s showing in many areas, but acknowledges the hospital has room for improve- ment. He is pleased the govern- ment launched the site. “It is a great start,” he said. “It’s just wonderful to have this data available.” The information is beneficial to patients and hospitals, he said. “This is a real advantage in terms of providing good informa- tion to the public as well as to hospitals,” he said. “It will give (patients) a sense of what some of the possibilities are for specific issues they’re facing. It makes Rouge Valley more account- able.” The website also tracks cancer surgery, hip and knee joint replacement, diagnostic scans, and cataract surgery. Rouge Valley patients wait- ing for hip and knee procedures, along with breast cancer patients have the ninth shortest wait in the Santa Claus Parade & Float Applications Online @ cityofpickering.com/greatevents Pa rticipate in Pickering Sat.

From the lieutenant gov- ernor of Ontario, to the Region’s first chairman, a crowd of invited guests gathered for speeches and celebration Oct. 21, inside the Region’s new Rossland Road and Garden Street headquarters in Whitby. “I feel I have a real fam- ily connection to the area, since one of my mother’s cousins was hanged in the jail here,” started James Bartleman, Ontario’s lieu- tenant governor. Mr. Bartleman said he’s told Durham has a plan to lure businesses and resi- dents to the area, he believes skilled workers will be at- tracted to its municipalities and he hopes the Region’s dream will continue. As for the dream of bring- ing regional employees to- gether under one roof, it was made possible in part by Walter Beath, Durham’s first regional chairman. “It’s all my fault,” said Mr. Beath smiling, as Uxbridge Councillor Howie Herrema introduced him as the man who bought the property the new building sits on today. When Mr. Beath was chairman from 1973 to 1980, the property became available for sale from the United Church and council decided to buy it for the fu- ture, a decision for which he was criticized. “You do what you do and plan,” said Mr. Beath. “If we hadn’t bought the land, it would have been houses.” Sitting in the new head- quarters, Mr. Beath said he felt good. “I’m of an age where money means a whole lot, but it had to happen,” said Mr. Beath. Durham’s current chair- man, Roger Anderson, said the headquarters project was, “On time, under bud- get.” To the taxpayers, he added, “We did what we said we would do.” In the new headquarters, the change in regional staff has already begun, said Mr. Anderson. Now under the same roof, employees are better working together and there is a buzz in the hall- ways, he added. “Overall, I believe the re- gional taxpayer will receive every dollar of value they were promised through this building,” Mr. Ander- son said, and thanked those involved for making it hap- pen. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 28, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P Pumpkins should be set out with your Leaf & Yard Waste collection.

DURHAM — The Lak- eridge Road bridge over Hwy. 401 is getting a tuneup, work that will cost region- al taxpayers an estimated $212,500. Durham Region’s works committee on Oct. 26 agreed to cost-share with the Minis- try of Transportation for the job, already underway. Full council must still approve the agreement. According to a report from works commissioner Cliff Curtis, the MTO says the bridge is in bad shape and needs rehabilitation. “Although there are plans to ultimately remove and re- place the existing overpass at some point in the future, the MTO has concerns related to the hazards of spalling con- crete over the 401 and the CN/GO Transit rail lines,” it states. “There are also re- pairs required to each of the structure’s piers, which have significantly deteriorated and need immediate repair. The bridge maintenance de- sign is sufficient to maintain the structure in safe opera- tion for a period of up to five years.” Since 1960 the Region and its predecessor, the County of Ontario, have been re- sponsible for maintenance costs for the parts of the overpass spanning the rail- way right of way. The work is to be finished by Dec. 15. United Way Campaign The United Way’s 2005/06 campaign is underway.

Cataract and gastrointestinal cancer patients, however, are waiting longer than the provincial average. The average wait in Ontario for cata- ract surgery is 139 days, while at Rouge Valley it is 298. Across the province patients are waiting an average of 27 days for gastrointestinal cancer sur- gery, while locally the wait is 52. “Clearly we have work to do in cata- ract and cancer surgeries,” Mr. Martin said, adding by knowing which hos- pitals have shorter wait times, they’ll know which to turn to for information. “We can learn from hospitals that are doing a better job than we are,” he said. “We’ll try to learn from better per- formers.” Mr. Martin stressed the information was preliminary, but over time by pub- lishing the data it should even out wait times as patients from hospitals with longer lists get referred to hospitals with shorter lists. As well, in the release from the Prov- ince, Premier Dalton McGuinty said by publishing wait times regularly it “will empower Ontarians to see just how much progress is being made when it comes to reducing wait times across our province.” The data is to be updated in two months. To see how long patients are waiting for treatment in the five key services that are part of the govern- ment’s Wait Time Strategy, visit www. health.gov.on.ca and click on the Wait Times link. ✦ Rouge from page 1 Rouge Valley has some work to do Just one more way to get your news thanks to the AJAX NEWSADVERTISER newsdurhamregion.com to ban Durham’s trash. In the short-term, a confidential re- port on contingency plans if the border closes went to the Region’s works committee Wednesday. Both regions are hold- ing open houses, requesting input on what type of facil- ity should be built to handle the waste that remains after composting and blue box recycling. Durham and York want to submit the terms of reference to the Province by the end of the year. How- ever Mirka Januszkiewicz, Durham’s director of waste management services, says just four or five people at- tended the Brock open house and in Ajax, three hours into the session, just eight or nine people had signed in. “It surprises me because the future of our waste man- agement is one of the core functions of municipal gov- ernment,” she says, noting ex- tensive media coverage of the Michigan situation. “This is why I am extremely surprised that residents don’t come to the meetings and send their comments.” In addition to attending an open house, residents can log on to Durham Region’s Web site and learn more and offer comments. The ad- dress is www.region.durham. on.ca. Under ‘highlights,’ click on the residual waste study project link and then on ‘Study Process,’ on which page the public comments link is located. Residents can also contact Barb Boffey, the Durham/York residual waste study project coordinator, at 905-668-7711, ext. 3731. Ms. Januszkiewicz says if the regions don’t receive 2,000 comments by next June, she will go to Plan B, hiring an independent firm to poll residents. Works commissioner Cliff Curtis says region-wide, 30 to 40 per cent of waste is di- verted from landfill. With the green bin program going re- gion-wide next summer, he estimates the figure will ex- ceed 40 per cent. A diversion target of 50 per cent is “rea- sonably feasible” by 2007, Mr. Curtis says. Still, waste that cannot be diverted will have to be disposed of, and the Durham-York process will end with the selection of both a technology to do the job and a site to build a facility, in one of the two regions. A landfill is not being consid- ered. “You put the stuff in the ground or you burn it,” says Kinsale resident Kees van der Vecht, summing up the basic options for getting rid of trash. He and his wife, Tilly, were among the residents at the Ajax session. Mr. van der Ve cht said with the garbage situation a crisis at the mo- ment, everybody should have a lot of interest in the process. Both are “incredibly frustrat- ed” that the environmental assessment process has to take so long -- the regions don’t expect to start building a waste facility until around 2011. The van der Vechts fa- vour using plasma technol- ogy to get rid of Durham’s garbage and say it’s already been proven and should be employed as soon as pos- sible. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 28, 2005 PAGE 5 P SAVE $200 $799NOW $1999 Body Solid G1S Vision 9500HRT Tr eadmill •3.0 HP Continuous Duty •Heart Rate Interactive SAVE $300 Schwinn 101 Upright Bike WE HAVE IT ALL. • Canada’s Largest Selection • Guaranteed Lowest Prices! • The Best Brands • Delivery and Set-Up • In-House Service • Expert Non-Commission Sales Staff Bremshey Orbit Elliptical THIS WEEKS SUPER BUYS!

Following the Aug. 19 storm, the City learned of a cross connection with the sewer hook-up in an Amberlea home that caused a sanitary backup. The City fixed the problem when it was made aware of it in September and then proceeded to investigate to see if this was an iso- lated issue. That required sending cameras down into several parts of Pickering’s sewers to make sure everything was OK. “Besides finding some brick and some debris, everything was fine,” said CAO Tom Quinn. Pickering sewers given the all clear Few residents speaking up P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 28, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keep an eye out and help Pickering come clean OK, there should be no more excuses. For the last few months in particular, there have been complaints about certain areas of Pickering that have become troublesome when it comes to litter, graffiti, vandal- ism and illegally dumped materials. So, with a grand unveiling last week, the City believes it has a program that will start addressing the problems. Eyes on the Street is essentially asking residents, City staff, police and even students to unite in a formidable team in the fight to clean up our appearance. If you’re out for a walk and notice something dumped, report it. As for that offensive tagging on the wall down the street? Report it. The City wants to know where and when in- cidents are happening. In fact, Pickering will be photograph- ing any gang-related graffiti and turning it over to police to be used as part of a database. Councillor Bill McLean even wants reports to the City filed with an incidence number so it’s easier to track what is happening and where. All are good moves in the right direction toward solving a problem that the City has identified as a priority. The key in all of this, however, is buy-in from everyone in the community. It’s not enough to expect that City staff and police officers will hear about every incident. By doing your part, the accumulation of a number of small incidences can lead to arrests. To o often it’s easy to criticize politicians for not engaging residents, for not allowing them to take ownership of their communities. But the more eyes on the street, the more op- portunity to truly make a difference. No one is being asked to put themselves at risk or in dan- ger. Simply, they’re being asked to lend a hand where they can. A collaborative approach gives us the best chance of cleaning up our act. Let’s make sure we don’t pass it up. Call and tell politicians we need our hospital To the editor: Re: ‘We need a strong local hospital,’ letter to the editor, Oct. 5. I read Bill Parish’s letter with intimate concern. I grew up in a time and a place where caring for our ailing and infirm, our young and our elderly did not take a back seat to anything. If our own hospital cannot care for our needs, then we will be forced to ship our loved ones to an unfamiliar community and abandon them, at least psychologically, to a strange place at the very mo- ment that they most need our companionship, calm familiarity and peace of mind. Distance does not heal, compassion does and communities cannot opt out of compassion. Nor does increasing the burden on family and friends improve the healing process. It is our babies, our infirm and our elderly who will suffer if our own hospital cannot shelter them. And even the simplest procedure, regardless of how skillfully it is performed, is enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of being close to loved ones. Inevitably, either through the distant suffering of a loved one or in our own impotent isolation during a period of crisis, each one of us will pay the price. Take a moment to look at the person dearest to you. Now imagine that they are suffering and you can- not be close to them. Call the hospital. Call the politicians. Make a difference, before someone you love suffers needlessly -- and farther away than is healthy.

Women’s team has risen from the ashes to the top of the league A team that’s been flying under the radar for most of its six-year his- tory is starting to soar to new heights. For five seasons the Durham Light- ning had been the lovable losers in the National Women’s Hockey League, a loop that brings together the top wom- en’s players in the country. Those previ- ous campaigns were marked by losses piled upon losses, last-place finishes and opposing teams sailing through town and leaving with wins by double- digit scores with nary a drop of sweat spilled. Those days appear to be over. The Lightning shocked everyone in the eight-team loop by posting a three- game win streak and rising to second place in the four-team Central Division, which includes powerhouse programs Brampton Thunder and Toronto Aeros. The dawn of a new era of Lightning women’s hockey came at a critical off- season juncture. With Telus leaving as principal sponsor and the Durham West Girls’ Hockey Association unable to sol- dier on, the team was in dire straits and in danger of folding. The franchise’s white knight, how- ever, arrived in the form of Brandon Smith, a local businessman and a huge booster of women’s hockey who formed a partnership to buy the team. Smith committed to upgrading the roster and doing whatever was required to lift the team out of its doldrums. To ward that goal, he brought in Pick- ering speedster Latoya Clarke, a former Canadian under-23 player, and added goaltender Kendra Fisher, formerly of the Toronto Aeros, as well as Mercyhurst College centre Teresa Marchese, a Col- lege Hockey America first-team all-star as a senior, and standout goalie Deserai Clark. Those players, along with a small group of core members who remained, including team captain Joanne Eustace, have proved a boon to the club. Earlier this month, the Lightning suc- ceeded in beating the Toronto Aeros 3-1 at the Ajax Community Centre. The Aeros have owned the Lightning since Day 1, one of those aforementioned squads that routinely ran the score up the flagpole at the Lightning’s expense. The Lightning, it says here, are for real. The team’s shown it’s deserving of support from Durham hockey fans. They play most Saturday or Tuesday nights at the community centre, so give them a look.

OCT. 29/05 MANUFACTURERS GOOFS Cosmetically blemished sewing machines DURHAM — A crew from Veridian Corporation is in Florida making power- ful friends. The crew of 14 experienced line staff and eight utility vehicles left Wednesday for the Sunshine State, to assist in restor- ing power following Hurricane Wilma. The hurricane hit Monday and se- verely damaged the state’s transmission and distribution network. The Veridian crew will work with the restoration team from Florida Power and Light. The American utility expects it will take weeks to restore power to all cus- tomers. “We’re pleased to be able to do our part to help restore services to almost three million Floridians who are still without power,” says Axel Starck, Verid- ian executive vice-president. Mr. Starck notes some non-critical construction projects in Veridian’s ser- vice area may be delayed while the crew is in Florida, but adds it won’t have any affect on local reliability. “We have more than adequate staff remaining to provide our usual levels of service for customers,” Mr. Starck states. “While providing support to storm- stricken areas is important, we are always careful not to jeopardize local service.” Many members of the Veridian crew helped restore power in Florida last year following Hurricane Jeanne. “They have first-hand experience working under these types of emergency conditions,” says Michael Angemeer, Ve r idian’s president and chief executive officer. Ve r idian is owned by a number of municipalities, including Ajax, Picker- ing, and Clarington.

According to Ross MacEachern, Durham’s manager of environ- mental health, the region should have its local preparedness plan complete and posted online by next month. The document cor- responds closely with large-scale plans put in place at the provin- cial, national and international levels. The World Health Organiza- tion is monitoring the situation closely, and about 30 countries now have pandemic plans in the works. Canada’s Pandemic Influ- enza Plan was released in Febru- ary 2004, and the Ontario Pan- demic Influenza Plan followed in May 2004, with an update recently completed. “This is a huge priority in our department right now; there is concern because so much is un- known,” Mr. MacEachern said. “We hope it will be a very mild pandemic when it does arrive, but we also have to understand that it could be very serious.” In the event of a widespread pandemic, most of the focus at the local level would be on or- ganizing community vaccination clinics, protecting vital services and educating the public about infection-control techniques like hand-washing and proper cough etiquette. The local plan projects between 200 and 500 deaths in Durham Region, over the course of a 12- month pandemic period, with up to 2,200 people hospitalized and as many as 105,544 outpatient hospital visits. As well, it is estimated that workplaces could be expected to operate with 35 to 50 per cent less staff. “The number of hospital visits is one of our biggest concerns, be- cause they’re at 97 per cent capac- ity as it is,” Mr. MacEachern noted. “They just couldn’t handle it.” At the Lakeridge Health Cor- poration, Dr. Ian Davis of the In- fection Control Committee con- firmed that the hospitals would have difficulty meeting these needs, however he stressed that officials have been working on a plan since May. “What we are focusing on are the things we have control over, a lot of our direction would come down from the province,” he explained. “We are looking at possibilities like decreasing elec- tive services to opening up more space.” Dr. Davis added that Lakeridge is working closely with the Rouge Valley Health System, to allow for a seamless response throughout the region. Av ian influenza, more com- monly known as “bird flu,” is a contagious viral infection that can affect all species of birds. It is found in bird droppings and can become airborne in contami- nated dust and soil. Since 1997, there have been several cases where the virus has been transmitted from birds to humans -- mostly in Asian coun- tries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Most recently, the virus has been detected in birds found in Romania and Turkey, likely spread by migrating wild birds. So far, there has been no human-to-human transmission, but experts say that is the inevi- table next step. “This is quite a lethal infection, it has a mortality rate of between 50 and 75 per cent, which is very concerning,” said Dr. Donna Reyn- olds, Durham’s associate medi- cal officer of health. “It would be much harder to manage than something like SARS, because people often don’t have symp- toms in the early stages, which is when they are most infectious.” In the event of a pandemic, the Durham District School Board would play a vital role in monitor- ing the early stages of infection. Superintendent of Education and Operations Mark Joel said the board has a detailed plan in the works, which includes using student attendance records to monitor the community’s general health. “If more than 10 per cent of stu- dents are absent from a school on any one day, a flag is raised and we know that could signal an out- break of some type,” he said. “We share this information with the health department. If there was an avian flu pandemic it would act as a good early warning.” The school board could also contribute to the community’s pandemic response by allowing schools to be used as inoculation centres. Overall, Mr. MacEachern said Durham Region is on par with, or exceeding other municipalities when it comes to avian flu pre- paredness, emphasizing that resi- dents shouldn’t be panicked by the death and illness projections they hear. “We are hoping for the best and planning for the worst,” he said. “We don’t want to give people too much information and create apathy, or too little information and have them not know what’s going on.” For more information on pre- paredness plans visit www.region. durham.on.ca or www.health.gov. on.ca.

Recently, Macular Degeneration News caught up with Dr. Mark Fitzsimmons to understand the growing prevalence of AMD among Canadians: What is AMD? AMD affects the central retina or macula, and there are two kinds: dry and wet. A disease that typically follows four progressive stages of severity, dry AMD involves the gradual breakdown of light-sensitive cells in the retina, which affects activities such as reading, driving or recognizing faces. As patients develop the more severe stages of dry AMD, they increase their risk significantly of acquiring wet AMD. Wet AMD is the more debilitating form of the disease. It occurs when abnormal new blood vessels grow under the macula, causing bleeding, scarring and unrecoverable vision loss. How widespread is AMD? There are 2.1 million Canadians afflicted with some form of AMD, according to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. It is the leading cause of vision loss for people over 50 years of age in North America. In Canada, 78,000 new AMD cases are diagnosed annually, a figure expected to triple within 25 years as the country's population ages. What are the treatments for dry AMD? Tr eatments available for dry AMD are very limited. One effective dry AMD treatment is called Rheopheresis.The non-invasive procedure removes macroproteins, such as lipids, from the blood stream. This improves the circulation of blood carrying important vision-enabling nutrients to the macula. What is Veris AMD Centers? Veris treats Canadians suffering from various eye diseases, including AMD. Top retinal specialists affiliated with Veris work closely with patients’ family doctors and eye care professionals to determine Rheopheresis can- didacy and review treatment options. It is the only national health network to provide Rheopheresis to Canadians with dry AMD. How can I learn more about treatments for dry AMD? I encourage my patients to visit www.verisamd.com, or to make a reservation for the next Veris Patient Education Seminar in their area. They can do that by calling 1-866-747-7436. ADVERTISING FEATURE Macular Degeneration News Recent clinical studies have shown that Rheopheresis stabilizes or improves vision in over 90 per cent of treated patients.

Many Durham residents have been receiving bills in recent weeks covering usage during this summer’s extraordinarily hot months. Those who chose to beat the heat by cranking up the air-conditioning may find their bills are up by 20 to 40 per cent this year over last, said George Armstrong, of Veridian Connec- tions, which distributes electric- ity in the City of Pickering, the towns of Ajax, Port Hope and Ux- bridge, and the communities of Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Beaverton, Cannington, Sunder- land and Port Perry. The number of “cooling degree days,” which serve as an indicator of air-conditioning requirements, was up almost 150 per cent this year, compared with summer 2004, said Mr. Armstrong. The heat was compounded by a new two-tier system of charging for electricity. During the sum- mer months, power users were charged 5 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 750 kWh used; any usage above the threshold was charged 5.8 cents per kWh. “The increased air conditioning load was typically charged at the high- er threshold, because (regular) baseload (without extra air-con- ditioning) usually uses up that 750 kWh,” said Mr. Armstrong. Ve ridian is encouraging resi- dents to use its pre-authorized payment plan, also known as equal billing, to spread un- expected higher costs over the entire year, as opposed to hav- ing residents receive one big bill. Forms to sign up for the plan can be downloaded from Veridian’s Web site at www.veridian.on.ca. For those who are having dif- ficulty coming up with funds to pay off the current bill, Mr. Arm- strong suggests calling Veridian’s customer care office at 1-888- 420-0070. Some residents may see relief in the form of a federal energy re- bate, which is to provide cheques to those who receive the Guar- anteed Income Supplement or the National Child Benefit Tax Supplement, to help cover sky- rocketing heating costs this win- ter. As well, the threshold changes to 1,000 kWhs beginning Nov. 1, to help people manage winter heating and lighting costs, said Mr. Armstrong. Anything used above and beyond that limit will be charged the higher rate. But, beginning next May, as temperatures begin to rise, the lower rate, which will be updated by the Ontario Energy Board in coming months, will only apply to the first 600 kWhs used. Summer hydro bills hitting home PICKERING — The Apostolic Pentecostal Church in Picker- ing is celebrating its 10th an- niversary with special services and guest speakers. The celebrations get under- way tonight, Friday, Oct. 28, with a service at 7:30 p.m. at the church, 755 Oklahoma Dr. Rev. Audley Castro hosts the servic- es with special guest speakers Rev. Don Hanscom from the U.S. and Rev. Sammy Stewart from Jamaica. There are two services Sunday: 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. All are welcome. The church was started by Rev. Castro with just a small group of people meeting in his Pickering home. The Bible group quickly grew and is now so large two Sunday services are needed to accommodate everyone. The church also of- fers a food bank, youth centre, and summer programs for chil- dren. Pickering c hurch marks 10 years of worship By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — It’s been a year of hon- ours and recognition for Durham Re- gional Police officer Eva Reti. The Staff Sergeant, currently serving as patrol services leader in Oshawa’s 17 Division, was recognized recently by the Durham Police Services Board after being named Officer of the Year by the International Association of Women Po- lice (IAWP). The international honour comes on the heels of the announce- ment last May that Staff-Sgt. Reti had been named Officer of the Year during the Ontario Women in Law Enforcement awards. Staff-Sgt. Reti received the prestigious IAWP award at a ceremony in Leeds, England last month. Police Chief Vernon White acknowl- edged the accomplishment during a meeting of the police services board Monday. “It’s not just another award,” he said. “A t every level, Eva has risen to the oc- casion.” Staff-Sgt. Reti said the awards coming her way this year -- they recognize lead- ership, community service, mentoring and excellence in performance -- are an acknowledgement of her efforts to foster the advancement of other officers while aggressively pursuing her own career. “It reinforces to me that I’ve been doing the right thing,” she said. “What gives me the greatest satisfac- tion is to see the officers I’ve mentored developing as good officers, good peo- ple.” Staff-Sgt. Reti will mark her 20th year as a Durham Regional Police officer Sat- urday. She started as a uniform officer patrolling Pickering in 1985 and in 1998 became the first female officer assigned to the homicide unit. She knew early on she would pursue a career in law enforcement. “I always knew I would enter a career where I would be working with people or helping people,” Staff-Sgt. Reti said in an interview. A high school law course confirmed for her policing was the path to take. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 28, 2005 PAGE 15 A/P Best Thai Restaurant in Durham Over 10 years experience OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK Mon.-Thurs. 11:30am-9:30pm Fri. & Sat. 11:30am-10pm Sunday 12pm-9:30pm THURSDAY & FRIDAY ONLY $7.95 11:30 am - 2:00 pm 235 Bayly St. Ajax (East of Westney) 905-427-5288 Kingston Rd.

Fund for Ajax woman will help cancer sufferers By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer AJAX — Tammy Young lived life to the fullest. Now her family is following her lead. Ms. Young was 41 when she passed away Aug. 19. To keep her memory alive, her family has set up The Tammy Young Crisis Management Fund, under the umbrella of the Bevy of Hope Breast Can- cer Foundation. Proceeds are used to help women suffer- ing from cancer and under financial stress to buy such items as wigs, bras, creams and bandages. Money will also be used for peer support and educational aids. Ms. Young’s sister Sharon Wiegand says more than two-dozen donations have already been made and the family will also be involved in fundraising initiatives, such as taking part in walkathons or car washes. “We don’t want it to be a one-time thing, a memo- rial donation is made and everyone forgets about it and then it’s dead,” Ms. Wiegand states. Ms. Young was diagnosed with breast cancer in Novem- ber 1997. After going through surgery and treatment, she returned to work, only to be diagnosed with metastatic bone and ovarian cancer in May 2000. The breast can- cer she thought she had beaten had metastasized, or spread. At the time, she was given six to 18 months to live. At one point during her second bout, Ms. Young couldn’t get the drug Zometa. The drug helps build up cal- cium in the blood and bones. Cancer tumours eat holes in the bone and Zometa aids in reabsorbing calcium. The drug costs about $650 a month and it had been cov- ered by her husband Steve’s drug plan. But, the plan had a $25,000 lifetime limit and Ms. Young was cut off after reaching the limit. OHIP didn’t cover the cost, so if Ms. Young wanted Zo- meta, she would have to pay for it. A public plea was made and donations rolled in. Ms. Wiegand notes it was Ms. Young’s struggle to get medicine that was a motiva- tor to set up the fund. “We hoped to set it up to get money for things that aren’t funded,” she says, but adds that’s not possible be- cause of legal and liability is- sues. An oncologist told Ms. Wiegand that a course of medication for one person could cost $30,000. “Where do you get $30,000 for one person and for how long?” she asks. However, one person, such as a single mother un- dergoing treatment, may not be able to afford a wig. “We could help one person, a little person. “Needs will come in and be assessed. Our whole fam- ily will be in the process of choosing” who’s helped, she says. “We’ll be there to help the little person. Hopefully, it will stay pretty local. As the word gets out, we’ll be inun- dated with requests.” Fundraising will be done around the forget-me-not flower. “It was her favourite flower,” Ms. Wiegand says. Family and friends, total- ling 37 people, took part, “in Tammy’s name,” in CIBC’s Run for the Cure on Oct. 2. The money from the event goes to the Breast Cancer Foundation. Afterwards, they all went back to the cemetery with mementoes and left them at Ta mmy’s site. “It was an emotional and victorious day for us.” Ms. Young is survived by her husband Steve and sons Chris, Corey and Zack. Donations can be made at any TD branch and the account number is 1802- 5208496. Cheques can be mailed to the Bevy of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, Tammy Yo ung Fund, 1891 Appleview Rd., Pickering, Ont., L1V 1T7. For more information, call Gail Snyders at 905-839- 0690.

Gary Newman, 36, of Oshawa, hasn’t been seen since the end of April, when relatives report- ed him missing. And concern grows with each day that passes without contact from him, said Durham Re- gional Police Detective Steve Mackey. “For him not to get in touch with his family and friends for this period of time is a concern for us,” Det. Mackey said. “He just basically dropped out of sight.” The man has no his- tory of leaving without explana- tion, Det. Mackey said. Mr. Newman has lived in Ajax, Toronto and St. Catharines in addition to Oshawa. Det. Mackey said contacts in those communities have been questioned by police, but that none have led to informa- tion on the missing man’s whereabouts. Mr. Newman is the father of one child; he is sep- arated from his wife. He has worked as a self-defence in- structor in the past. He stands 5-feet-5 and weighs 160 pounds with a me- dium build, short black hair and brown eyes. He wears a front dental plate, which is broken, and has a visible cracked front tooth, police said. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Det. Mackey at 905-579-1520, ext. 7810, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

For homeowners and parents alike, Halloween safety should be a priority. To help reduce “bumps in the night” consider the following: Spooky lighting – If you have a Jack-O- Lantern, use a battery powered light source or light stick in lieu of a candle to reduce any potential fi re hazards. Stay lit – Clip-on, battery-operated blinking lights or refl ective tape can be easily added to costumes, and glow sticks or mini fl ashlights help increase a child’s visibility to passing cars.

As luck would have it, both you and your fiancé are outdoor enthusiasts and would like to have an outdoor wedding and reception. After much discussion and consulting of weather patterns, you’ve decided to go for it. Now what? Deciding on a location is an excellent place to start. Do you want your wedding to be in a park, a beach, an historic estate, a scenic landmark or in your own backyard? Just in case Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, it would probably be a good idea to have an indoor backup close by, or at the very least, a tent. When scouting wedding locations, check around the area for construction projects, insect problems and major intersections. Parking is another thing to take into consideration. If parking is tight, you may have to hire a valet or have everyone park in a nearby lot and shuttle them over. Having an outdoor wedding means that Mother Nature will provide most of the decorations, but not necessarily all of them. If you have chosen a public location, it would be wise to check the area a week before the wedding, as well as the day before, to make sure the grass has been mowed, the ground has been raked and the flowers are in bloom. If there are no attractive flowers onsite, bring in your own potted flowers. Many experts recommend using a trellis or an arch to put the focus of the ceremony on you and your groom. When sending out your invitations, be sure to let guests know that they will be attending an outdoor wedding so they can dress accordingly. Make sure you have these things on hand to help make your guests more comfortable: • Bottled water • Sunscreen • Lap blankets • Large fans and a generator • Portable heaters • Wooden chairs rather than metal, which absorb heat and cold • Citronella candles If, after the wedding, you haven’t gotten enough of the great outdoors, it is possible to have the reception outdoors. Make sure the caterer has experience with outdoor receptions and can provide food that will hold up under warm conditions. To help make your guests more comfortable, rent tables, chairs, an electric generator, a portable dance floor, a dressing trailer and portable toilets. Decorate the area with torches or Chinese lanterns, especially if you’re having the reception at dusk.

It’s a model day in Ajax Autism society in holiday mode To Advertise in this special feature call Michael at 905-683-5110 ext. 238 Scugog makes request for exemption By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham Region has put a process in place for busi- nesses wishing to open up on statu- tory holidays. It’s uncharted territory for the Region, which received its first request from Scugog Township, applying on behalf of small busi- nesses. Five other, larger Scugog businesses have also sought ex- emptions. “I do think we will get more,” says Andrea Monaghan, Durham Region’s tourism manager. “I think you’ll see a lot of the downtown areas, BIAs, chambers (applying).” Under the Province’s Retail Busi- ness Holidays Act, holidays such as Christmas are ‘common pause days’ when most businesses are not allowed to open. A local mu- nicipality, however, can apply to regional government on behalf of businesses 2,400 square feet or less and employing fewer than four em- ployees. Under the act, larger busi- nesses must apply on their own. In making the decision, the Re- gion will determine if the busi- nesses fit a tourism criteria. It can exempt a business if it is within two kilometres of a tourist attrac- tion or, according to the law, if “it is directly associated with the tourist attraction or relies on tourists visit- ing the attraction for business on a holiday.” Even if a business fits the bill, the Region can deny the re- quest or limit the holiday openings, which could spark an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. Ms. Monaghan says, if success- ful, Scugog’s application would cover all small businesses. She says in applicable cases, if Durham is to be marketed as a tourist destina- tion, it’s important for tourists to know “we’re available when they’re here.” Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce says the municipality informs busi- nesses of statutory holidays when they are not to open. For the first time recently, the business com- munity, represented by the Busi- ness Improvement Area, asked why there was no exemption in place. She noted the Greater Toronto Area is no longer as homogeneous a community as in the past, with everyone celebrating holidays on the same days. “We are definitely a tourist des- tination and that’s what’s driving this, the ability of our stores to rec- ognize the diversity of the GTA, especially when you’re a tourist destination,” Mayor Pearce said. “There’s a change going on and our business community feels it’s in their best interest.” Also applying to remain open on holidays is Luke’s Country Store, Canadian Tire Port Perry, Settle- ment House Shops, Brock’s and Reid’s Independent Grocer. Dur- ham council will consider and is expected to make a decision at the Nov. 9 council meeting in Whitby. The public is invited to attend the meeting, at 10 a.m. at Region head- quarters, to comment on the pro- posed exemptions. Comments can also be submitted in writing, by fax or e-mail. To comment at the meeting or to submit a comment, write the Region at, Attention Clerk’s De- partment, Regional Municipality of Durham Headquarters, 605 Ross- land Rd.

Ultimate Weekend Sale The Official Store of Christmas™ By Jason Chamberlain Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Gloria Nazar is not the only person with fond memories of her father. The late Dr. Joe Pinto was honoured late last month by the Rotary Club of Pickering in a special ceremony held at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club. In gratitude for his lifetime of support to the Rotary Club, the organization adopted in his honour a decommissioned minefield in Mozambique. “They gave this award to my family for his massive involvement and con- tribution,” said Mrs. Nazar. “He put his heart and soul into Rotary. He was totally committed to their cause. For years, he attended many of their meetings, and he received an award for over 30 years of perfect attendance.” During his considerable time with the club, he contributed to innumerable initiatives dedicated to helping people around the world. “He brought his experience and his engineering background, and he had many contacts around the world,” she said. “He used what he had learned to start these projects and help with them, and he used all his contacts to get these jobs started and completed.” One of those projects was dedicated to helping the victims of minefields. “So many people have been killed and maimed by these mines,” said Mrs. Nazar. “One of the things he used to do was manufacture simple prosthetics for people who had been maimed by mines. He would show me early drawings of them. He had contacts in India, and they’d manufacture certain parts, and he’d go to supervise their distribution, and show people how to use them. He would show doctors how to put them on. There were huge camps where he’d go and do this.” Dr. Pinto accomplished all of this after his retirement, a time when most are de- creasing their workload, not increasing it. But the question as to why her father kept on working is simple to answer for Mrs. Nazar. “It was very easy for him to get in- volved in these projects. He knew peo- ple, and how to deal with people. He was a gentle, kind, and caring individual,” she said. “He dedicated every single mo- ment working towards the betterment of the human condition, and he was pas- sionate about what he did. When he had a job to do, he’d try to do it the best of his ability, with a mind to how it would affect people.” A legacy of g iving to others Joe Pinto was honoured recently by the Rotary Club of Pickering.

Bond said he’s expecting that to increase this year, adding he’s seeing many people coming back for more theatre this year. In its first season, StoneCircle pulled audiences from all over Durham Region and beyond, including Scarborough and Port Hope. Bond said the group presents plays that make people feel, think and want to discuss what they’ve seen. StoneCircle presents plays that audiences normally wouldn’t see in community theatre, much as Durham Shoestring Performers in Oshawa does, Bond said. There’s also a mandate to present works by local playwrights. The setting, Village Theatre, 22 Sherwood Rd. W., in Pickering Vil- lage, Ajax, is ideal for the plays, Bond said. The theatre seats 75 people, “an intimate setting,” and provides a great view of the stage from all angles, he added. The first play this year is ‘Or- phans’ by Lyle Kessler, directed by Bond, of Courtice, with original music by musician David Hayes, of Ajax. The play centres on two adult brothers, Treat, the older, and Phillip. When they were or- phaned, Treat looked after himself and his brother, eventually turn- ing to crimes such as stealing and robbing, to support them. When asthmatic Phillip decided he didn’t want to go outside for fear of the “d eadly’ pollen,” Treat, who likes to be in control, encourages him to remain inside. “He very much controls his brother through force at time and just because they’re brothers, there’s also compassion, a friend- ship,” Bond said. Treat meets Harold, a Chicago mobster on the run after ripping off the wrong person, at a bar and brings him home to rob. But it doesn’t go exactly as planned, Bond said. While Treat is armed with a knife, mobster Harold has a gun. “Harold takes a liking to Treat. He sees in Treat himself at a young age. He was orphaned as well,” he said. “Harold takes control of the situation and realizes Treat can be groomed to be a professional crim- inal.” Harold also takes a liking to Phil- lip and encourages him to venture into the outside world. Meanwhile, Phillip has been educating himself without the controlling Treat find- ing out. “It’s got a huge emotional wal- lop,” Bond said. “There’s some great dark comedy. It will elicit a lot of emotions in people, especially siblings and parents.” The play is suitable for adults and most teens. Starring in the play are two broth- ers playing the brothers. Jeff Foote, of Oshawa, plays Phillip while Steve Foote, of Port Hope, Treat. Having brothers play brothers is great for the play as it gives an extra layer to the emotions, Bond said. Playing Harold is Anthony Ward, of Ajax, originally from the United States. As for the crew, besides Bond, Dave Edwards, of Ajax, is pro- duction manager. Stefanie Bond, Bond’s daughter, is the stage man- ager. The play opens Nov. 3 and runs through Nov. 19 at 8 p.m., with a matinee Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. From Jan. 26 to Feb. 11, StoneCir- cle will stage 7 Stories by Morris Panych, a tale of a man who has lost his way, figuratively and literally, who meets the residents of the sev- enth floor of an apartment building, as he stands on the ledge outside their windows, contemplating sui- cide. Despite the description, there is plenty of comedy to be found. Next up is ‘Star Wishes’ by Bond. Set in 2014, when the last of the of baby boomers turn 60, Star Wishes opens with all boomers commit- ted to institutions by the Gen-X governments in Canada. When a global power failure strikes and the Internet crashes, panic ensues and the Gen-Xers must turn to their elders for lessons in survival. “I’m having a lot of fun with it,” Bond said. The play will be presented April 6 to 22. From June 1 to 10, ‘Stepping Stones’ will be presented. This pro- duction will feature several short dramatic and comedic pieces by local artists and writers. StoneCircle is currently inviting submissions for this production. Anyone interested is asked to go to the website, www. stonecircletheatre.com.

Rock school in session at Annandale Curling Club Eighty-six sweepers take part in clinic By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — A large group of wan- nabe curlers were introduced to the ‘sweep’ science at the Annandale Curling Club last Saturday. The club’s adult clinic attracted 86 curlers: 44 were in the novice group, 27 in the intermediate bracket and 15 were part of advanced instruc- tion. Susannah Moylan again served as head coach for the clinic, assisted by 13 others. The intermediate curlers re- freshed their basic skills with the novice group in the morning and then joined the advanced group in the afternoon. Convener Leonard Franssen commented that the day was a total success and acknowledged the work of volunteers who met the needs of the students. ••• Annandale has three junior teams entered to compete in the Pepsi ju- nior women’s and junior men’s zone playdowns at the Uxbridge Curling Club from Nov. 12 to 14.

Two winners in each of the dou- ble-knockout events advance to the regional event at the Richmond Hill Curling Club from Nov. 26 to 27. ••• Curling, as it applies to television, got a big boost with an agreement between the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation (CBC) and the Ca- nadian Curling Association (CCA). The CBC has, in turn, reached an agreement with TSN to televise the afternoon and evening draws for the first seven days of the Scott Tourna- ment of Hearts, Tim Hortons Brier, the Women’s World Championship, and Canadian Trials. Welsh visitors steamroll Spartans Out-of-season rugby friendly puts Dunbarton senior team to the test By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The minds of the Dunbarton High School Spar- tans’ senior rugby team players may have been willing, but, their bodies? That was another matter entirely. Hosting the Brecon High School rugby team from central Wales for a three-day visit to the Pickering secondary school, the Spartans engaged the visitors in an exhibi- tion match Wednesday afternoon. The Spartans, with their rugby season a distant memory, brought their program out of mothballs for the occasion, only practising the day before taking to the field against the Welsh side, currently in the middle of its rugby season back in the UK. The result was more than pre- dictable. After 20 minutes of even play, with the contest tied 12-12 in the early going, the superior condi- tioning of the visitors began to take over. And, by the end of the contest, Brecon scored a comfort- able 44-12 victory. “We were good for about 10, 15 minutes. You could see that fitness was the biggest factor,” ex- plained Dunbarton head coach Bill Dalliday. “After about the first 15 minutes you could see our guys slow right down. If anything we had a physical edge and we were winning for a while. But, we were walking by the end of it.” Brecon captain Sam Hobbs admits that, coming such a long way, he and his teammates were somewhat rusty in the early going. He credits the Spartans’ forwards for their grittiness in the opening minutes. “For the first 20 minutes, they were outstanding. The physical- ity of their forwards was right up there,” noted the 17-year-old. “But, as the half grew on, we were able to get into our pattern and our strategy more, got into our defensive plays and our scrums, which began to work really well. But, they gave us one hell of a challenge. Hats off to them.” Part of a 33-member Brecon contingent under the guidance of head coach Lee Lewis from the central Wales farming communi- ty, Hobbs is enjoying his first-ever visit to Canada for the tour of On- tario schools. He’s most impressed with the warmth of the Canadian people whom they’ve met. “The people are awesome, they’ve made us feel so welcome. It’s been one of the best experi- ences of my life,” he says. So far on their Canadian tour, the Welsh teams have been to Ni- agara Falls, which proved to be a big hit. “It was unreal. The scale of the place was awesome,” says Hobbs, adding his teammates are also looking forward to going up the CN Tower and hitting the Eaton’s Centre. Dunbarton and Brecon, which have a history of rugby exchanges dating back to the early 1980s, will reconvene in the spring, with the Spartans departing for the U.K., including a visit to Brecon in March. Although there won’t be an opportunity for outdoor training prior to the trip, Dalliday notes he will prepare his players with a series of indoor practise sessions. This, he hopes, should result in a more competitive series of con- tests. “Fitness is going to be our goal to get ready (for the tour),” says Dalliday. James Thompson and Mike Broaderip each scored a try for the Spartans. Graeme Murphy kicked a convert. Meanwhile, in the junior game between the Spartans and Brecon, Dunbarton emerged victorious, 5- 0. Adam Burke scored the try. The Brecon High School tour will also include stops in Midland and at Leaside High School in To- ronto before heading back to the U.K. early next month. A.J.

The Welsh squad won 44-12. By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — When he’s been needed, Bryan Eustace has been sharp. And, Wednesday was no ex- ception. The Pickering Panthers backup goaltender, who’s had infrequent starts behind Mark Duschene this season, was the chief reason the Panthers scored their second OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League victory in a row, downing the visiting Huntsville-Muskoka Ot- ters 5-1 at the Pickering Recreation Complex. After letting in the first goal of the evening, Eustace was rock solid the rest of the way, making 35 saves and earning his third win in six starts. Eustace kept the Panthers in the hunt over the first 40 minutes, with the score tied at 1-1 after two pe- riods, until the forwards could get going in the final frame, locking up their ninth win of the season. Panthers’ head coach John Wind- er praised his rookie goaltender, who’s been a pillar of consistency thus far this season. “He doesn’t get called on too often, but we called on him (Wednesday) and he kept us in the game. He stopped a lot of shots as the game went on. He really held us in in the first period,” says Winder. Besides strong goaltending, Winder noted it was the ability of the Panthers forwards to capitalize on Huntsville-Muskoka miscues in the third period that was the key to the victory. The Chris Jones, A.J. Ward and Justin Fox forward unit has been on fire of late, and Wednesday’s game was no exception. The unit produced two goals against the Ot- ters and continues to pile up points, amassing an aggregate 12 in the last two games. The team also brought aboard another defenceman, Zack Fen- wick, for Wednesday’s tilt. Fenwick had been playing with the Toronto Red Wings midget squad, but has been signed by the Panthers for the remainder of the year. Fenwick, says Winder, will bring added toughness to the blue line. The Panthers are in Toronto to play the Thunderbirds tonight (Fri- day). They’re on home ice Sunday against the Collingwood Blues at the complex at 6:30 p.m. Big third period lifts Panthers past Huntsville-Muskoka A/P PAGE 32 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 28, 2005 durhamregion.com 1305 Pickering Parkway, Suite 103 Pickering (Liverpool & 401) 905.839.1200 Mon.-Fri.
