In a March 6 letter to organi- zations representing local busi- ness, Mr. Anderson pleads, "It is imperative for the economic health of municipalities in the Regional Municipality of Durham that the 407 be extend- ed to Brock Road in Pickering now, and in future to Hwy. 115/35" The federal government, through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), is conducting a screening level environmental assessment on the extension of the highway. The deadline for public input on the department's review was March 10 and Mr. Anderson ex- pects the government to make a final decision on the extension ROGER ANDERSON 'We need your support to make this happen.' within the week. "We need your support to make this happen:' Mr. Ander- son said in the letter sent to the Ajax -Pickering Board of Trade, the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the Whitby Chamber of Commerce and the Clarington Board of Trade. Mr. Anderson encouraged those associations to ask their members to write to the DFO. In an interview Friday, Mr. Anderson said transportation infrastructure is "the future of Durham". He contends the Hwy. 407 extension is essential to handle growth in Durham and to move people and goods between here and Toronto. And, he maintains if there's no action, Durham "wili be left behind again". Asked whether he shares the concerns of environmentalists who are calling for a full EA of the extension, Mr. Anderson said, 'The EA process is being followed" He noted the Region's "record when it comes to the environment is exceptional". Mr. Anderson said if the government does call for a full EA it could be years before the highway is extended here. "I'm tired of Durham being the last and the hardest (region) to get anything done in," he said. Durham College earns award for high school help Durham College's youth in- ternship apprenticeship program has won the prestigious Program Excellence Award from the As- sociation of Canadian Colleges. This is the first time the col- lege has won an ACCC Excel- lence Award. "I felt elated and proud when I heard the news;' said Sandy MacDonald, a college professor who serves as the YIAP co-ordi- nator. 'This is the first program of its kind in Canada:' YIAP was launched in 1996 as a three-year pilot project. It was created in partrsership with the Ontario and federal govem- rncnLs, four local school boards and area industries. The program allows high school students to gain apprenticeship training and workplace experience while they complete their secondary school diplomas. At graduation, 92.5 per cent of students were offered full-time jobs as registered ap- prentices. The Ontario government chose YIAP as the n xiel for its own youth apprenticeship pro- gram - The award will be presented at an ACCC conference in Whitehorse in May. There will also be a local ceremony. ACCC, which represents more than 175 post -secondary institutions across Canada, also presents awards in leadership, staff excellence, teaching and student leadership.

A recommendation passed by the committee Thursday re- quests Durham council pro- vide $65,000 to top up the $177,000 the Region has re- ceived from Queen's Park in the 1999-2000 Provincial Homelessness Initiatives Fund (PHIF) allocation. "A combination of $177,000 PHIF funding and $65,000 Regional funding will (help Durham in) moving per- sons from the streets to shel- ters, from shelters to perma- nent housing and preventing homelessness for those at risk of becoming homeless," Paul Cloutier, head of the Region's income support division, states in report. Mr. Cloutier says the 1999- 2000 homelessness initiative "builds upon strengths and successes of the 1998-99 pro- posal and adjusts and expands the range of activities to pro- vide the most effective use of limited dollars". The PHIF spending plan, prepared by the Durham Advi- sory Committee on Homeless- ness (DACH), "strikes a bal- ance between direct funding to persons in potential housing crisis, and providing support services to those who require ongoing assistance in dealing with housing obstacles," Mr. Cloutier reports. The health and social ser- vices committee is recom- mending the $177,000 in PHIF funding be allocated in the fol- lowing manner: - $50,000 to the Durham Rent Bank; $36.000 for staffing the Community Support Centre; $35,000 to hire a community service co-ordinator; $30,000 to the North Durham Initiative; $15,000 to Colborne Com- munity Services; - $11,000- to Housing Help Durham; - $5,000 to the Women's Shel- ter in Ajax -Pickering. The committee is recom- mending the additional $65,000 in Region funding from the 2000 income support budget be directed toward the operating costs of the Commu- nity Support Centre, which opened in February on Simcoe Street South in Oshawa. The centre offers facilities for homeless people to show- er, do their laundry and access counsellors. The facility also serves as an address where homeless people can receive mail and provides the support of a tele- phone message centre via voice mail. Brock Councillor and health and social services committee chairman Larry O'Connor said Friday the re- sponse to the centre in the short while it's been open has been overwhelming. "The community demand has exceeded what they thought was going to be there," he says. Coun. O'Connor said the $65,000 from the Region for 2000 will ensure the centre's operating expenses can be met. . Mr. Cloutier says the rec- ommendation will be consid- ered by the Region's finance and administration committee March 15 and then by Durham council March 22. "We're going for a prebud- get approval," he says. "We want to start flowing the money as quickly as we can." Durham University talk creates quite a stir DURHAM fawn page I we'll do everything in our power to make it happen as quickly as possible" Mrs. Ecker, who is a mem- ber of the Premier's manage- ment board and who is on the Planning and Priorities cabinet committee, said her four Durham MPP colleagues are all on side on the university plan. "I believe it is time for a Durham University," said Mrs. Ecker. "My colleagues Jim Flaher- ty, Chris Hodgson (Victoria- Haliburton, Chair of Manage- ment Board) Jerry Ouellette (Oshawa) and John O'Toole (Durham) are all pushing hard for this proposal." Minister of Training, Col- leges and Universities spokesman Dave Ross wouldn't commit to a deadline on a Durham University announce- ment but admitted the proposal is under close consideration by Minister Dianne Cunningham. "Any proposal is confiden- tial but the government is look- ing at an applied degree -granti- ng institution," said Mr. Ross. Durham's university propos- al would have an initial 500 stu- dents moving to 1,000 under - grads within three years. No new buildings would be re- quired and the cost to run the program on the basis of $6,000 in government grant money per student per year would range from $3 million to $6 million annually. Mr. Polonsky has sAid the university would work with the college and that both institu- tions — located at the Durham Oshawa campus — would have a single administration and would share services.

Mr. Polonsky, who admits he's dreamt of a university for Durham since he became col- lege president in 1988, has put together a high-profile commit- tee of community leaders to make the dream become a real- ity. Awash in optimism over the encouraging political signs, the president did say more work is needed. "Our team is going to keep working just as hard as we have been right up until the day an announcement is made. "But we could have some- thing modest in place by the fall of 2001, something a little less modest by 2002 and something not modest at all by 2003.

When it comes to the controver- sial topic of genetically -enhanced foods, that seems to be the only thing critics and proponents of the ,new technology can agree upon. Agricultural groups, who argue biotechnology is a tool allowing them to increase yields and provide better quality crops, want farmers to have the choice of whether or not to use it. But organizations like Green- peace, the Council of Canadians and other advocacy groups are pushing for such measures as mandatory la- belling and putting the decision in the hands of the individual con- sumer. Biotechnology came into popu- lar use in the 1970's after the devel- opment of genetic engineering tech- niques allowed genetic material in living cells to be modified. It in- volves the transfer of genes into a living organism to change its char- acteristics. Newer techniques of biotechnol- ogy have created tomatoes which ripen on the vine allowing them to maintain their flavour and texture for several weeks with reduced spoilage. This in turn allows time for transport, retail display and longer storage at the consumer's home. Advances also include potato plants are resistant to the Colorado Potato Beetle, a genetically -en- hanced potato which absorbs less oil when cooked, animals with leaner meat, and cereals with more nutri- ents. For the Ontario Corn Producers Association, biotechnology has be- come a way of controlling a med- dlesome pest - the corn borer. Bt corn, a variety infused with Bacillus thuringiensis, uses the gene natural- ly found in soil to fight the borer without resorting to chemical pesti- cides, points out president Anna Bragg. The corn bona can reduce yields by as much as 10 per cent, she says. "If we can have a better product and cut down on chemical use, the consumer is getting a better pack- age," says Ms. Bragg, who operates a farm on Bowmanville's Third Concession. "It's not just about farmer safety, it's about consumer safety as well." Biotechnology is a 'tool,' "ano& er ding grows have in their comer to try and improve the bottom lice," Future food shock.? Disagreement ranges over genetics and biology of food adds Dale Mountjoy, a local feed salesman and corn, soyabean and wheat producer in north Oshawa. "It's a huge political arena. Cana- dian farmers have to sell their corn in the open Chicago market," he ex- plains. '"he market is dictated by American and European govern- ments which subsidize their produc- ers.. As a result, commodity prices are at 25 -year lows, he says. "Any- thing we can do to produce more for less will do better for us;' he points out. Mr. Mountjoy says he's conduct- ed his own studies comparing Bt va- rieties to their parent and in four out of the five cases, "the bottom line" was increased even when factoring in pre -seed technology costs. Still, his customers are buying both GE and non -GE seed at the same rate. Growers, which are well - versed in science, "are lining them- selves tip unless the debate goes the wrong way" Mr. Mountjoy says. Sante are concerned once they go the GE route if there will actually be a market for their product, he adds. The debate is over food safety. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture stats point out approximakly 40 per cant of the Province's corn crop is Bt corn. Another 25 per cent of all soy- beans and four per cent of all pota- toes grown in Ontario are genetical- ly enhanced. "It's like the old argument, do you drive a Dodge or Ford truck. Everyone talks about it," adds Neil Moore, an OMAFRA crop special- ist. Minister of Agriculture Ernie Hardeman spoke to the issue when he stopped in Blackstock last fall. Addressing a Farn er's Night dinner, he said his ministry supported m - search for such advances but only if coupled with a strong regulatory food system. Food safety, however, is in the hands of Health Canada, which draws up the safety regulations and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. which inspects and en- forces those laws. CFIA spokesman Gad Wood says his agency focuses its assessments on the characteris- tics of the final product rather than the method of production. That means GE foods and moo - GE foods ane subject to the same re- quiremimts and are tested in the same way.

Sonic European countries have banned a small list of hybrid crops and a re- cent Biosafety Protocol developed in January in Montreal is still seek- ing some agreement on the labelling issue among importers. One of those voices speaking out against GE foods is Penny Reid, an organic farmer from Scugog's Eighth Concession. Biotechnology is "run -away technology" as far as she is concerned. 'They're changing DNA by putting viruses and bacteria into plants:' she says. "We don't know the outcome because they haven't studied it long enough. Put the brakes on and let's get sonic of these studies done." Mus. Reid says she has little con- fidence in the govenunent to regu- late the new technology and believes its scientists are being influenced by powerful chemical companies with a vested interest in biotechnology. It "all boils down to dollars,.' she says. Independent research conducted in the United Kingdom shows pota- toes iajaxed with GNA lectin, when fed to animals, caused gradual organ damage and immune system dam- age, she says. The studies said it wasn't the genetic material itself split on genetic food should be able to refuse to import GE bods I they fern Dorncerne about Its haft or envitonmertlal saw • Recent scierNfic researoN has shown frag- ments of DNA from GE bods can be defected in Its brains of animals fed these food ngreift DNA and RNA fragments cart cause adverse im- mune system reacfione hickx intr aufobnn une cb- • The BrIN Medical &"ocialion has called for a ban on foods and boM the Fierml and German ger nimerts have which led to the damage but toxic or infectious byproducts of the genetic manipulation process. She also points out famed jour- nalist and genetic engineer David Suzuki has spoken out against GE foods and manufacturers like Mc - Cain's have announced they'll stop using Bt potatoes next year is proof biotechnology is losing its credibili- ty. ,,We've been guinea pigs for a while;' she says, adding at least mandatory labels would allow con- sumers to make an informed choice between GE and non -GE foods. As for farmers, Mrs. Reid says she recognizes their plight and sug- gesN they go organic where they are assured a premium price for their commodities because organic foods are in such high demand. She ad- mits, however, those prices may also go down over time as more and more producers enter that sector of the industry. Both the CFIA and the Ontario Corn Producers Association say al- though GE foods are exposed to "extremely rigid testing;' it's impos- sible to conduct keg -term testing because the technology simply has- n't been around long enough. Biotechnology has about 10 years of testing under its belt as opposed to the 20 or 30 years of long-term ef- fects concerned groups are seaafi- ing for. ..Food is something tangible, a subject which touches the econom- ic, social, moral and geopolitical parts of our lives;' says Mr. Wood. "It's an intense issue and the Cana- dian public should know how its food supply is produced. The CFIA thinks genetically -modified foods are safe or they wouldn't have ap- proved them" In fact, several varieties have been rejected, Mr. Wood points out. For example, the CFIA nixed the practice of injecting the genes of a Brazil nut into soybeans. The plan was to increase the soybean's grow- ing time but the nut's allergen was carried through in the mix, making it extremely dangerous for people with nut allergies to consume that type of soybean, he says. Nothing is 100 per cent fool- proof. In the long tun you just hope the benefits outweigh peoples' con- cerns," adds Ms. Bragg.

Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner reports repre- sentatives from the Pickering Riding Centre, Hermitage Farms and SLO Acres are working with City officials in an effort to in- crease the safety of riders and horses at facilities here. Coun. Brenner says he asked the Province to regulate riding establishments across Ontario last year following an accident that took the life of a young girl in Aurora. But, the Province has not taken any action and Coun. Brenner believes it's now up to municipalities to regulate the rid- ing facilities in their area. "in Ontario alone, needless tragedies could have been avoid- ed through mandatory require- ments for approved head wear and appropriate footwear as well as an acceptable level of training and/or experience for those claiming to be instructors;' Coun. Brenner says. "This is a very serious prob- lem. Without any regulations anybody can say 'I'm teaching';" he notes.

RNCP. *Eat as close to nature as you can. Fresh and organic fruits and vegetables will always be best. Avoid all processed foods and foods that are high in saturated fats and refined sugars ie. "junk foods". Eat a diet that is rich in whole foods like fresh fruit, leafy green vegetables, whole grains like brown rice, rye and legumes with approximately 20% of your daily food intake coming from lean protein sources such as chicken, turkey and fresh fish. (Protein amounts may vary depending on individual needs). your diet with high quality Lecithin, Flax seed oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Oil and Linseed Oil to make sure that you are getting your Essential Fatty Acids and all the benefits that they bring to your health. *Determine any nutritional deficiencies, ( a R e gistered Nutritional Consultant *Drink at least 8 glasses of good quality pure filtered water daily. can help you with this) * that may be contributing Carbohydrates should come from higher fibre sources like fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains such as rye, millet, quinoa, buckwheat, whole wheat, multi grain and brown rice. Substitute your white bread with multi grain or rye bread and avoid sugary cereals, cakes, cookies and other starchy foods. *Fat choices should be from Essential Fatty Acid Sources. Essential Fatty Acids are "good fats" that have been proven to assist the body in weight loss and also lower cholesterol levels. Choose cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and eat plenty of fresh seeds and nuts (still in the shell) along with plenty of cold water fish such as Salmon, Mackerel, and Anchovies. You can also supplement when you're having new dentures made, go to the "Specialist" Because the Denturist you see, all he does is make dentures. Your Denturist is a Denture Specialist to make complete and partial Dentures. He is the only professional legislated "specifically" to make Dentures. For service and ..one on one" contact with the person who is actually making your denture, see your local Denturist for a consultation. Do your dentures spend more time in a glass than in your mouth? A prominent biblical figure whose patience was legendary, who withstood pestilence and calamity, was heard to say one Day that the only thing that got to him was "sore gums". SORE SPOTS The main reason for sore spots is ill-fitting dentures - it is a combination of shrinking gums and denture wear. See the person who makes your dentures. NEW DENTURES You can expect some adjustments the first month after getting your dentures. It takes time to settle into place. At the first sign of discomfort, do not be alarmed. If it last.-. more than 3 or four days, contact your Denturist. UPPER DENTURES The upper denture is the "good guy". The one that gets all the smiles. The denture that causes the least discomfort. The big plus of the upper denture is its suction. The air caught between the palate of the denture and the roof of the mouth makes an ideal suction cup. LOWER DENTURES Lower dentures have become the "culprit" from much oral abuse. Lower dentures are much maligned. So much so, people tend to divorce them from your partner, the upper dentt..re. The lower denture has become somewhat of a misfit, and seeks refuge in the most unlikely places. Bottom drawers, bottom of the bed, amongst lipsticks and combs in ladies' handbags, lunch pails, back pockets, and if they have a caring owner, submerged for eternity in a denture bath. ALL. IS NOT LOST You can have a "soft liner" put in your lower denture. This is a "permanent" liner and will stay soft as long as your denture lasts. OTHER REASONS . Medication can give you a "dry mouth". This can cause sore spots. Bone chips can appear many years after the initial insertion. As we get older, our body goes through change, tissue becomes more sensitive to pressure, which leads to sore spots. Poor oral hygiene can be the reason for denture discomfort. Dentures must be brushed thoroughly after every meal. TO EASE DISCOMFORT Rinse your mouth with baking soda or salt. Leave the offending dentures out as much as possible. You should brush your gums, palate and tongue with a soft bristle toothbrush after every meal and before going to sleep. A sore mouth, if untreated, could lead to complications. If the problem recurs regularly, contact your, local Denturist. SERVICE WITH A SMI .1F Seeing a Denturist can save you money. Denturist fees are affordable because there are no cost mark ups or outside delays.

Vere is a place where then Many people are aware of thirsting for "something more" than the eat/sleep/work cycle that dominates our lives. When malls and movie theatres are increasingly insufficient for our deeper needs, where can we go? And what is it exactly that we are looking for? We may be looking for health in its true, original sense. The word "health" was originally connected to the concepts of "whole" and "holy": i.e. there was a bond between being healthy, realizing wholeness, and experiencing life as deeply meaningful and profound. Health in its original meaning required much .more than absence of pain or disease - it was about inner and outer harmony: wholeness. Somehow as adults, we lose that sense of wholeness. At these times, the world seems overheated with pressure and anxiety, yet also dry like the desert and lonely. We trudge on, sensing the need for connection, for renewal, for relief.

It's a phone call and a 10 -minute drive that can help you break the cycle of Eat/Sleep/Work and make room for wholeness in its true sense.

PICKERING — The Rouge Park Neighbour- hood Study won't go be- fore Pickering council for consideration until next month. City politicians voted .%londay to defer the report to a special council meet- ing planned for April 10. The City's plans for the neighbourhood, which in- cludes the Rouge-Duffin's Wildlife Corridor, generat- ed a heated debate at Pick- ering council's executive committee meeting last week when more than 100 area residents urged politi- cians to ensure all provin- cially -owned land, which equals about half of the 1,000 -acre study area, re- mains in public ownership to block development there. The neighbourhood, which was added to Picker- ing's urban area in the 1997 Official Plan, is bounded by the Pickering -Toronto border on the west, open space land just east of Rosebank Road on the east, the Ontario Hydro Gatineau Line corridor on the south, and the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks (above Finch Avenue) to the north. The neighbourhood study includes a Rouge Park Neighbourhood Envi- ronmental Master Servic- ing Plan, which identifies developable lands in the area; and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Develop- ment Guidelines, which ex- amines issues such as street patterns and the form of fu- ture development. .....�;.� r,:a+.....-.... � :. a, � - ., - .. - �..- - ..- ..r a.. • • a . �. -•,s - . r a r a r .a.a.a. a.a s-• .. • a a • a, a..r a.• a � o� • a... i:►.a.�►.a.• w_►.n..,.�,..•a:sr.�. u.r, . a -s <e . sa._.... a..• r:a.r•. .t...c • r • a �'a ,a,rHa..,.e.s; i:.C. 91 4 • MON.■ W cc W M A :1=N: [•l','■III 1I --1'I.

Lost the car keys? Or can't even remember when your mother-in-law is arriv- ing'? If that's the case, could the herb, ginkgo biloba, improve your memory? The ginkgo tree has been de- scribed as a living fossil because it resembles its fossilized relatives. It was discovered in northern China. but now has been transported to many parts of the world. European physicians, particular- ly those in France and Germany. have advocated the use of ginkgo biloba for many years. Now it's be- coming one of the best selling herbal medicines in North America. Dr. Zoltan Rona is a well-known Toronto physician and proponent of The Doctor Game W. Gifford -Jones M.D. alternate medicine. He says ginkgo biloba is a brain tonic. It works by relaxing blood vessels which in turn increase blood flow to the brain and peripheral areas of the body. And that ginkgo increases the rate at which information is trans- mitted by the nerve cell. Over the years ginkgo has been used as a complimentary treatment for many conditions. For instance, people suffering from depression, asthma, angina, hypertension, ring- ing in the ears, many neurological problems and disease of the ex- tremities. It is believed to affect both arteries and veins. Gingko also acts as an antioxi- dant which decreases the number of free radicals in the body. Free radi- cals are the end -products of metab- olism. By getting rid of this meta- bolic waste it appears to fight aging, the formation of cataracts and the risk of some cancers. But does it really work? Or is ginkgo being peddled to the public like old-time snake oil? A report in the 'Journal of the American Medical Association' claims it can benefit those with mild to moderate degrees of mental Durham marks National Nutrition Month Taking charge of your eating habits is the perfect way to celebrate Nartcmal Nutrition Month in March. So says the Durham Region Health Department, which is host- ing a 'Healthy Eating ... make it hap- pen' campaign in partnership with Loblaws, Oshawa Complete with displays, infor- mation about good nutrition and op- portunities to sample foods that are lower in fats, the campaign will pro- vide shoppers a chance to discuss healthy eating with public health nurses as they purchase their gro- "By being present and accessible in the grocery store, we can encour- age people to make more informed choices about what they are buying and eating;' says public health nurse Nancy McGee. "Research shows that consumers make 80 per cent of their food purchasing decisions at the grocery store.*' Shoppers are invited to visit the Healthy Eating booth at the Oshawa Loblaws, 481 Gibb St., Fridays, March 10 and Manch 17 from 2 to 7 p.m. Health department staff will help reinforce healthy eating messages with more in-depth information ses- sions in April and May. In 1999, North Americans spent over $12 trillion dollars on health care. Everythmg from Band-Aids to brain surgery. In 2000, that figure is expected to exceed $2 trillion.* Advertising in Health Connections can help your health related business get a share of this revenue.

Space is limited. loss. Some families believe ginkgo has stabilized mental loss or even improved the mental ability of loved ones. And several of my pa- tients who are taking ginkgo biloba believe it's made them mentally more alert. The problem is mental acuity is hard to measure., particularly in those who have already shown signs of senility. At the moment no one, to my knowledge, has proven by scientific studies ginkgo biloba boosts brain power. So am I against the use of alter- nate medicine? Not at all. I person- ally take vitamin C and E in mega - doses. And I advise patients of the possible benefits of these vitamins. Moreover, many herbal medicines have been safely used for hundreds of years. What concerns me is millions of North Americans are self -medicat- ing with a variety of herbal medi- cines. And it's been aptly said that "He who treats himself has a fool for a patient" It's easy to burn your fingers with the use: of either herbal or conventional drugs. Consumers tend to believe herbal drugs arc natural drugs and therefore perfectly safe. But the label 'natural' is no guarantee of safety. Herbs that act like drugs have side-effects like drugs. This is particularly true when herbal preparations are being used along with conventional drugs. Dr. Enc Shapira of the American Academy of Dentistry says ginkgo biloba has anti -clotting effects. This can cause the gums to bleed partic- ularly if patients are also taking a daily Aspirin. It's also dangerous to reach for ginkgo biloba if you're already tak- ing a blood -thinner. This combina- tion could result in dangerous hem- orrhage. Fortunately, the majority of ad- verse reactions are not life- threat- ening. A British survey of 400 peo- pie showed eight per cent of those using herbal products suffered non- serious side-effects. The most com- mon reactions were allergic skin rashes, respiratory problems, diar- rhea, inflammation of the large bowel, anemia and liver and kidney damage. My advice is not to have a fool for a patient. Tell your doctor if you're using any form of alternate medicine. Sharing information with him or her may prevent a potential- ly life-threatening complication. Some patient% withhold this in- formation from their doctor for fear of being given a lecture. I realize this can happen. But fortunately more and more physicians are real- izing complimentary medicine is here to stay and in some instances can be helpful to patients. Ginkgo or other herbal remedies should not be taken during preg- nancy. But remember to take folic acid starting several months before a pregnancy. This decreases the risk of a child being born with a defec- tive spinal column. .

Space is limited. loss. Some families believe ginkgo has stabilized mental loss or even improved the mental ability of loved ones. And several of my pa- tients who are taking ginkgo biloba believe it's made them mentally more alert. The problem is mental acuity is hard to measure., particularly in those who have already shown signs of senility. At the moment no one, to my knowledge, has proven by scientific studies ginkgo biloba boosts brain power. So am I against the use of alter- nate medicine? Not at all. I person- ally take vitamin C and E in mega - doses. And I advise patients of the possible benefits of these vitamins. Moreover, many herbal medicines have been safely used for hundreds of years. What concerns me is millions of North Americans are self -medicat- ing with a variety of herbal medi- cines. And it's been aptly said that "He who treats himself has a fool for a patient" It's easy to burn your fingers with the use: of either herbal or conventional drugs. Consumers tend to believe herbal drugs arc natural drugs and therefore perfectly safe. But the label 'natural' is no guarantee of safety. Herbs that act like drugs have side-effects like drugs. This is particularly true when herbal preparations are being used along with conventional drugs. Dr. Enc Shapira of the American Academy of Dentistry says ginkgo biloba has anti -clotting effects. This can cause the gums to bleed partic- ularly if patients are also taking a daily Aspirin. It's also dangerous to reach for ginkgo biloba if you're already tak- ing a blood -thinner. This combina- tion could result in dangerous hem- orrhage. Fortunately, the majority of ad- verse reactions are not life- threat- ening. A British survey of 400 peo- pie showed eight per cent of those using herbal products suffered non- serious side-effects. The most com- mon reactions were allergic skin rashes, respiratory problems, diar- rhea, inflammation of the large bowel, anemia and liver and kidney damage. My advice is not to have a fool for a patient. Tell your doctor if you're using any form of alternate medicine. Sharing information with him or her may prevent a potential- ly life-threatening complication. Some patient% withhold this in- formation from their doctor for fear of being given a lecture. I realize this can happen. But fortunately more and more physicians are real- izing complimentary medicine is here to stay and in some instances can be helpful to patients. Ginkgo or other herbal remedies should not be taken during preg- nancy. But remember to take folic acid starting several months before a pregnancy. This decreases the risk of a child being born with a defec- tive spinal column. .

The executive committee for the Games unveiled a fund-raising banner program at a press confer- ,-nce Wednesday at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby, as it gears up for the games, which will be held in all eight Durham mu- nicipalities Aug. 10-13. ' I'he key theme that comes out over and over again is that this is a celebration - a celebration of sports excellence and a celebra- tion of community;' says Skip Crosby, general manager of the Games. "We're looking at the banner program to get that sense �t celebration out to the commu- 7.1n.. The six-foot banners will be )ld for $300 (there are discount - ;d rates for multiple banners) and ,rn)minently displayed with spon- ,or names throughout Durham Region from June until the end of the Games. Sponsors may choose the location, depending on avail- -The banner program is an op- Exmunity for every person, family, business and business person to be a part of this great community event;' says Richard Sheepwash, chair of the Games marketing committee. (Two banners can be purchased for $550, three for $800, four for $1,000 and five for $1,125. They can be purchased through the Games office by calling 905-619- 2529, extension 7264.) It is hoped the banner program will raise close to $300,000 to go toward the expected cost of about $1 -million to run the Games. Government grants will cover $500,000 while registration fees Local wrestlers have big Impact at co . Team W pact grapplers wres- tled their foes to the ant at the re- cent Faflingbi ook Wres<fing hm- tational in Brampton. The wrestling club — which features mambas from Ajax and Pickering — captured team tides in all four divisions: novice, kid, bantam and cadet. Club members also posted impressive individual wins. In the novice category, Dustin Dixon, wrestling in the 32 -kilo - grain weight class, and Daniel Falk, in the 43 -kilo division, pinned down gold medals. Alex Buque earned silver in the 49 -kilo weight class. Connor Watterson wrestled to bronze in the 24.5 -kilo division. Sean Glover placed fourth in the 27.3 -kilo class. Other members of Team Impact wrestling in the novice division were Brock Hicks, Derek Fak David Falls and Nadtaaniel Robin- son. In the kid division, Kyle Pele s, in the M -kilo weight c1m, Randy Pfrimmer, at 34 kilos, Conrad Salmon, at 39 krilm and lV ent Bm hner, at 32 kilos, ill emarpd from a strong field with gold medals. Neil Twynam, wrestling in the 62 -kilo weight category, and Justin Howe, cornpeting in the 41.9 -kilo class, earned silver medals. Breatdon Barnett, Wade Bu and Chris Percy placed fourth in their respective weight classes Brad Cox also competed in this division. In the bantam bracket, Kevin Buzzell, who wrestled at 43 kilos, Kevin Madsen, in the 77.8 -kilo class, Kyle Twynam, at 71 kilos, and L.ogm Hemkm, at 571dlos, all pinned down gold medals. Garrett France wrestled to a silver medal in the 81.5 -kilo weight class. Philip Glover placed fourth w the 43.84alo division. Braedon Picton, Dwayne Clarke and Darryl Pfrim- aw also competed_ for Tram Im- pact- In the cadet division, Jake Udoux, in the 52 -kilo weight class, Oliver Salmon, at 65 kilos, and Chris Clarke, at 70 kilos, won gold medals. Cal Graves, at 65 kilos, and Cole McFarlane, at 70 kilos, earned silver medals. Meanwhile, at a recent tourna- ment in Guelph, Team Impact wrestlers also won their fair share of gold medals. As a squad, Team Impact finished second overall to and other fund-raising ventures should keep the books in theme black. Organization of the Games, meantime, is progressing well for the most part, Crosby says. "We're right on target, we're really happy," says Crosby. "We do still have one minor flaw - we haven't quite located 3,300 beds just yet" Among the solutions being looked at to accommodate all those athletes is a loan of cots from National Defence. Crosby says the committee is looking to set up an "athlete village" by using eight schools in Whitby. Crosby says there have been upgrades to such facilities as Civic Fields in Oshawa, site of the open- ing ceremonies and track and field events, and the softball diamonds in Sunderland and Beaverton, but most venues are already well-pre- pared to receive the Games. - " fbe existing facilities was one of the selling points from the orig- inal bid;' he says. Volunteers will play a crucial role if the Games are to run smoothly, says Bob Hull, the vol- unteer chair of the Games com- mittee. He says some 1,200 will be needed to take care of housing, food, transportation and hundreds of smaller tasks. "They'll be meeting a lot of new people and having some fun;' says Hull, estimating about 200 volunteers currently onboard. "I have no doubt that not just Os- hawa but all the townships have a corps of people you can count on. ' Twenty-one sports will be held throughout the region during the Games. Athletes will qualify in the various sports leading up to the event, with some sports not fi- nalizing competitors until a week before the Games. m etitions the RAW chub Fran Brampton. The cadet wrestlers from Team Im- pact won theif division. In the novice category, Dustin Dixon and Daniel Falk earned gold medals, Brock Hicks mined a sil-r ver, while Derek Falk and Nathaniel Robinson claimed bronze. In the kid division, Conrad Salmon, Terrance Shaw, Randy Phimmer and Paul Rabjohn struck gold. Nathan Staneland emerged with a silver and Breandon Barnett earned bronze. In the bantam division, Kevin Buzzell and Andrew Hodson were silver medallists and Btat4on Pic - ton claimed bronze. In the cadet category, Travis Boughner and Chris Clarke earned bronze medals.

NEVVS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITM, Ma cl 12,2000 PAGE 33 P Pickering speedskater tears up the track at provincials Clarington club member competes BY BRAD KELLY Staff Editor PICKERING — A local speed - skater continues to burn up the racing oval with the Clarington Speedskat- ing Club. Taylor Burns, of Pickering, repre- sented the club at the Provincial Championships that were held this past weekend in Kingston. The Ontario championships at- tracted 217 skaters from around the province. While it was his first trip for each skater to the top competition in On- tario, the results would suggest that it won't be long before he takes the next step to the Nationals. Burns, 12, produced the highest overall finish of Clarington club members at the provincials. He fin- ished fifth overall out of more than 30 skaters in the midget boys' divi- sion. "I sort of expected to finish fif- teenth, not fifth;" said the Grade 7 student at Vaughan Willard Public School in Pickering. His best result came in the 777m, where he finished in sixth place. He also competed in the 333m, 500m and 666m races. Burns was one of three members of the Clarington Speedskating Club to compete at the provincial cham i - in Kingston CEL/A BRONKHORST/ News Advertiser phogx onships. p Taylor Burns of Pickering produced a fifth - place overall finish at the provincial meet. laid iW • laed� i. • SavkM • sf.11ss Durha>tn's Garden & 4ftndiC1ping Show April Int 6 2nd Co-sponsored by Communities In Bloom Booth info. call Sharon - ext. 2285 Heather - ext. 2318 905-579-4400 or 416-798-7259 T= MAKISUM FENOW STurP AMMOVAL BOBCAT SERVIC4tE oAvE 831-7055 ;-:-;2 IIQ a_;2 DYulsrr ou.a LIBERTY TAX SERVICE Om 2501watwns acmes Canada.
