Yo rk Regional Police laid charges Tuesday against the man, who has been suspended by the York District School Board. He taught Grades 6 through 8 at Johnsview Public School in Thornhill, police said. Police allege the man and a stu- dent, now 16, engaged in a relation- ship that “involved inappropriate interaction outside school hours.” It’s alleged the contact occurred between May 2003 and October 2004. Gilmore Deans is charged with sexual assault and sexual exploita- tion. Business wants boundary extended to comply with new rules By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The absence of three councillors left Pickering’s ex- ecutive committee with a tie vote on whether to expand the permitted area for body rub parlours. This means the request from Anna Trojanowska, owner of Brock Spa, is to go to the Oct. 3 council meeting with no direction for coun- cil. Staff rec- ommended the commit- tee deny the application to extend the boundary west to Sandy Beach Road from the hydro cor- ridor, which would add the additional area north of Bayly Street and south of Hwy 401. “Her establishment is literally 200 or 300 yards away from the bound- ary... The only thing that limits her establishment from the area is a hydro corridor,” said Noel Gerry, Ms. Trojanowska’s lawyer. She has operated at the Alliance Road location for five years. When Pickering council passed the bylaw five years ago restricting these es- tablishments to the Brock Indus- trial Area, body rub parlours outside the area were grandfathered for five years. That expires at the end of the year for Ms. Trojanowska. Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said he would like to speak with the ward councillors before making a decision and brought for- ward a deferral motion, which was lost. “We have to be fair with all busi- nesses and try to work with them. My difficulty with supporting or not supporting this is I don’t represent this area and I haven’t had the op- portunity to speak with the ward councillors about this application,” he said. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson were away in Dallas at the American Public Transit Association Expo and Conference. Mayor Dave Ryan, who was on council at the time the bylaw was passed, saw no reason to change the boundary. “O nce you start to move the EXERCISE CAN BE A BALANCING ACT Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — The second annual Ultimate Achievement Corpo- rate Challenge was in Dunmoore Park last week, putting teams through challenging, but fun events.

Ratification Sunday By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — General Motors employees got off easy in the lat- est contract agreement consider- ing the state of the auto industry, a union head said. “We came out of this agreement with no major job loss,” said Chris Buckley, president of Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) Local 222, which represents almost 12,000 Oshawa employees. “In my opin- ion, it is a very responsible agree- ment in very tough times in the auto industry.” GM has already told its U.S. plants it will be eliminating 25,000 jobs due to low sales, decreas- ing market share due to imported cars and increasing health costs. In Canada, around 1,000 em- ployees will be lost by the end of the tentative three-year agree- ment, with 250 to 300 of them coming from Oshawa. But those are “normal reduc- tion rates” seen regularly through attrition, voluntary retirement and efficiencies, Mr. Buckley said. “Those numbers should in no way put panic out in our commu- nity,” he said. Asked whether unionized workers were unhappy with the deal, Mr. Buckley said he hadn’t heard that. “No matter what you bargain or when you bargain, it’s virtu- ally impossible to please all your members,” he said. “Each collec- tive agreement we are criticized by our members.” The tentative agreement in- cludes increases to wages, pen- sions and benefits, but still allows GM to save millions in ways that will not negatively affect employ- ees, CAW National President Buzz Hargrove said at a midnight press conference Wednesday shortly after the deal was reached. The $2.5 billion Beacon project will be put back in place, but Mr. Buckley could not provide details about where the funds would be invested. Around $750 million will be in- vested in the St. Catharines’ op- eration and Oshawa car and truck plants, but GM is not breaking down the dollars yet, said Stew Low, a company spokesman. But some of that money is Beacon dollars, he added. An agreement in principle will see continued work for Plant 2, which had no product slated past 2008. “These investments recognize the hard work of our employees and their commitment to contin- ued quality improvements, pro- ductivity and cost reductions,” said GM Canada President Mi- chael Grimaldi. Employees will vote on the contract this Sunday at the Os- hawa Civic Auditorium.

Veridian deals with calls across Durham DURHAM — High winds caused power outages in some parts of Durham Thursday morn- ing. “The very high winds started at about 4 a.m., and that’s when we started getting reports of power outages,” said George Armstrong, of Veridian. In Durham, the corporation serves the City of Pickering, the towns of Ajax, Port Hope and Uxbridge, parts of Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Beaverton, Cannington, Sunderland and Port Perry. Within Durham, there were “numerous isolated outages,” and a larger one in Pickering. About 2,600 customers in the area bounded by Whites Road, Dixie Road, Finch Avenue, and Sheppard Avenue, found them- selves without power between 4 and 7:30 a.m. In Sunderland, about 400 Ve- ridian customers were without electricity between 4 and 6 a.m. after a problem with a Hydro One network feeder. Hydro One, which serves some communities in Durham includ- ing Courtice, a small portion of Bowmanville, and the rural areas of Clarington, didn’t have Dur- ham-specific information avail- able in time for deadline, but reported about 13,000 customers across the province were without power.

Hi gh winds leave thousands in the dark Thursday By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering wants to set the standard as a sustainable and green mu- nicipality. Ward 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner intro- duced a motion at the Sept. 19 council meeting to estab- lish a committee to develop a plan to get public input on standards the City wants to implement for develop- ment. “We continue to lead by example and I think it’s time we revisit benchmarking standards for all develop- ments,” Coun. Brenner said. Coun. Brenner, Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dick- erson and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson were appointed to work with senior staff to come up with the plan to get feedback from stakeholders, including that of community associations, business groups and devel- opers. Coun. Brenner said when it comes to the new devel- opment in Seaton, Pickering is holding the Province and the developers up to high standards so it should hold itself up to those same stan- dards. Coun. Dickerson agreed. “Because we’re asking the Province if they truly want to make Seaton a community of the 21st century they need to implement some of these things,” he said. Some of the possible stan- dards might relate to wheth- er there is a net benefit to all Pickering residents and whether it promotes envi- ronmentally friendly initia- tives. Mayor Dave Ryan sup- ported the idea, but thought it would be difficult to imple- ment. “The intent of the motion is excellent. I think we’re going to have one heck of a time trying to make any real changes,” he said. A report on the plan to get consultation is to be brought back to council no later than Nov. 7. boundary you get into the whole other issue of are you near anything. How close is near?” he said. The City wouldn’t allow manufacturing in a residen- tial area and this is no differ- ent, he said. “We don’t want to have these types of establishments outside of certain areas for equally good reason,” Mayor Ryan said. Wa rd 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe said by allowing the boundary change, it still confines it to an industrial area. “I see tonight a business that’s lived within the bylaw for five years, by all notes here we haven’t had any issues with it... My issue really is we have another application in the permitted area where we have letters opposed and tonight with this business we have letters of support,” he said. Ward 3 City Councillor Dave Pickles voted to accept staff’s recommendation and deny the request. “I believe there was a conscious deci- sion made some years ago as to where the boundary should be... I see no compel- ling reason to change it.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 PAGE 5 P Tim Hortons would like to thank you for using your cookie cravings for a great cause.

It will be five years ago in January that the City decided it would be best if the establishments were restricted to the Brock Industrial Area, although any existing businesses outside that new zone were given a five-year reprieve before having to com- ply. Fa st forward almost 60 months and the Brock Spa, which is outside the industrial area, is now asking Pickering to recon- sider the boundaries and to extend the western line about 300 yards so it will conform. The argument seems to go that it has operated without problems over the last five years and has thus earned an extension. Pickering executive committee debated the issue this week, with the vote ending in a 2-2 tie. That means council casts the deciding vote Monday night. It’s important to remember that these types of bylaws were introduced in many communities at around that time to deal with a troubling number of businesses operating outside the law. Body rub parlours have continuously come under fire for the numerous establishments across Ontario that offer sexual services. To be fair, certainly not all operations fall into that category. So, while Pickering’s changes delivered more control locally, we’re still dealing with a troubled industry. That makes it as important as ever to stand behind the bylaw and reaffirm the hard stance taken in 2001. Making one boundary change opens the door to others. What do you tell an operator that comes in from Toronto, for example, touting a clean record and, as such, deserves to set up in a residential neighbourhood? Which barometer do you use then, your supposed boundaries or the business’s record? Pickering set the rules in writing five years ago and put busi- nesses on notice that they wouldn’t be legal Jan. 1, 2006 if they weren’t within the boundaries. As Councillor David Pickles said this week, there’s just no compelling reason to change that position. Whatever happened to dialling again? To the editor: Recently, I overheard someone say, ‘In this day and age, it’s just rude not to have an answering machine’ Really? Remember the old days when you needed to reach some- one, and you telephoned them? No answer, so you’d try again later. Nowadays, people just give up if they don’t get an an- swer. Unless of course, it’s a telemarketer. Telemarketers seem to feel that it’s perfectly acceptable to keep yammering on after you’ve said ‘no thanks’. Some are downright rude to you when you say you’re not interested. Seems silly to me that we pay for the privilege of a tele- phone, in effect, paying for another entry point for advertis- ing to our homes. Answering machines are great, then you can listen to the pre-recorded, automated sales pitch at your leisure.

Durham’s new police chief has challenges ahead W ith his swearing in Monday, Vernon White is scheduled to take over as chief of Durham Regional Police. As he assuredly knew when he accepted the job, he can ex- pect a trial by fire. Chief Designate White, 46, has spent his policing career in the far North with The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, earning recognition from su- periors as he rose through the ranks. A career highlight was his leadership of a team investigating the Giant Mine bombing murders in Yellowknife in the early 1990s, a crime that caught the entire nation’s attention. The new chief has a number of de- grees -- in business administration, sociology and psychology and, per- haps most appropriately for his new job, conflict resolution. Many are the forces he must reckon with. The service is profoundly affected by outside entities, most notably the provincial government, but also ci- vilian agencies with provincially-dic- tated mandates, including the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and the On- tario Civilian Commission on Police Services (OCCOPS). These agencies deal with police interactions with the public, and can in some instances cause charges to be laid against of- ficers. Internally, Chief Designate White must deal with a union that is tak- ing a guarded approach as members become acquainted with a man hired from outside Durham, a move that has caused friction in the past. He also answers to the Police Services Board, which reviews policies and expen- ditures, and regional council, which foots the bill for a police budget that in 2005 exceeded $112 million. A major aspect of outgoing Chief Kevin McAlpine’s legacy is the success he has had in securing funding for staffing and equipment, nearly dou- bling the police budget during his tenure. He has created a big-city service to police a rapidly growing region with emerging urban issues. How long before the politicians put the brakes on spending? How much leeway will police brass have as they prepare to negotiate with a union whose current contract ex- pires in a few months? Ve rnon White has an incredible challenge ahead. The new chief deserves a chance to do his job before any conclusions can be made about the job he’s doing. Ul- timately, he has five years to show us what he’s got.

The hospital is receiving $542,000 in additional fund- ing from the provincial gov- ernment to put toward men- tal health services for the three groups. The funding is part of a $58.3 million plan by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to expand services throughout the prov- ince. The hospital welcomes the funding. “It will allow us to serve more patients in a more in- tensive manner,” said Uwe Marshner, program general manager of mental health services at Rouge Valley. The funding for Rouge Val- ley is to be divided in two areas: $203,000 for psycho geriatric outreach -- a pro- gram for senior citizens with significant mental health issues who are cared for in long-term care facilities - - to provide consultation and training to the staff; and $339,000 for first-episode psychosis -- a program for teens and transitional-aged youth, up to 24 years old, who have experienced their first psychotic episode -- to provide intensive treatment and family education, as well as work with school boards, when necessary. The new funding is to be used at both Rouge Valley’s Ajax and Centenary sites. As part of this funding, Rouge Va lley is to provide nurses and a seniors’ psychiatrist to visit nursing homes and long-term care facilities. “The new funding demon- strates the ministry’s view of Rouge as a centre of excel- lence for mental health,” Mr. Marshner said. “This is due to the fantas- tic, day-to-day efforts of our front-line staff.” The Ontario government made the funding announce- ment as part of its larger four- year, $185-million plan to help people with mental ill- ness benefit from expanded services by 2007/08 and to stabilize existing services.

The Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Terms of Reference is now available for Review and Comment The Regions of Durham and York are participating in a joint study to find a better way to manage the residual wastes (ie. garbage) remaining after diversion through recycling and composting.

You may obtain a copy of the Draft Terms of Reference either at the session, from the Study Web site www.durhamyorkwaste.ca, at your local municipal office, or at your local library. Comments on the Draft Terms of Reference will be received until November 4, 2005. Once your input has been considered, the Proposed EA Terms of Reference will be submitted to Durham and York Regional Councils in December, 2005 and subsequently filed with the Ministry of the Environment. .The Information Sessions will be held from 4:30 –10:00 p.m. at the following locations: Tues., Oct. 18, 2005 Wed., Oct. 19, 2005 Thurs., Oct. 20, 2005 Cannington Community Centre Ajax Community Centre Courtice Community Complex 91 Elliot Street HMS Room Hall A Township of Brock 75 Centennial Road 2950 Courtice Road Town of Ajax Municipality of Clarington York Region Admin.

Ex con’s story served up in Ajax World-wide week emphasizes the benefits for babies DURHAM — The Durham Region health de- partment is reminding the community of the im- portance of breastfeeding during World Breast- feeding Week, Oct. 1 to 7. This year’s theme, ‘Breastfeeding and Fam- ily Foods: Loving and Healthy’ emphasizes the benefits of breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond for both mother and baby, in conjunc- tion with gradually introducing safe and healthy foods starting at the age of six months. “Breast milk is the only food your baby needs for the first six months of life,” says Tirzah Chung, a public health nurse with the health depart- ment. “There are many health benefits of breast- feeding for both mother and baby, including the valuable time spent bonding with each other.” Although 80 per cent of Durham Region resi- dents believe that breast milk alone can give most infants all of the nutrition they require for the fix six months of life, only 20 per cent of infants are exclusively breast fed for at least six months. “Breast milk provides the perfect balance of nutrients and offers more benefits than any other source of nutrition,” explains Ms. Ching. “Health benefits for infants include protection against al- lergies and illnesses such as childhood diabetes, bowel disease and some cancers.” Mothers can also enjoy benefits from breast- feeding, including a lower risk of ovarian and breast cancer, a faster return to pre-pregnancy weight and stronger bones in later life. Addition- ally, breastfeeding is convenient, free and avail- able at anytime. Durham Region Health Department has a va- riety of resources available to the public regard- ing breast-feeding. For more information, please contact the Health Department at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729, or visit online at www.region. durham.on.ca.

The Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem scored at or above the pro- vincial average in four areas of the latest hospital report. “We’re delighted with the results,” said Hume Martin, Rouge Valley president and chief executive officer. “I be- lieve we’ve done very well in all four quadrants.” The acute care report rates hospitals on system integra- tion and change; patient sat- isfaction; clinical utilization and outcomes; financial per- formance and condition; and women’s health. Acute care involves overnight stays of a relatively short time for serious health problems. Acute care hospitals provide diagnosis, medical care and surgery for serious or life-threatening con- ditions such as a heart attack or stroke. Rouge Valley was below the provincial average in financial performance and condition, although in some of the 12 dif- ferent areas in that quadrant it scored better than the pro- vincial average, including the working capital. “Rouge Valley was well below the provincial average when it came to corporate costs,” Mr. Martin said. “We’ve worked very hard on that.” He added he would love to see the hospital perform better in the financial quadrants. Re- ports such as this are not only useful to see how a hospital is doing, but also to see areas it can improve on, he said. “The area we will be focus- ing on is the use of stan- dardized proto- cols,” Mr. Martin said. Hospi- tal Report 2005: Acute Care was issued last week by The Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Hospital Report Research Col- laborative, in a joint initiative by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and by the Ontario Hospital Association. Here is a snapshot of how Rouge Valley performed: In system integration and change it was at or above the provincial average in six of the six indicator categories mea- sured. This category shows how hospitals share and co- ordinate information internally and externally. In patient satisfaction it scored at or above the average in four of the four categories measured. This category shows the extent to which patients were satisfied with their care, their overall impression of care, and their perceptions related to communication, responsive- ness and consideration. In clinical utilization and outcomes, Rouge was at or above the provincial average in three of the three areas mea- sured. This category measured performance in medical and surgical readmissions for heart failure, asthma, hysterectomy and many other acute care ser- vices; and measured the ap- propriateness of procedures. In financial performance and condition it was above the aver- age in five of the 12 indicators measured. This category mea- sures financial performance in terms of revenues and expen- ditures, unit cost performance, corporate services, including administration costs, and days supplies are held in inventory. In women’s health, Rouge was at or above the provincial average in six of seven indi- cator categories. This category measures performance in areas related to specific women’s health services, in clinical uti- lization and outcomes, patient satisfaction and in differences between the care of men and women.

She never imagined that the fol- lowing year she would be back, run- ning as a cancer patient herself. “I did all the breast self-exams and found nothing, it was a mammo- gram that caught it,” Ms. Keys says. “I didn’t want to think it could happen to me. No one does.” Since that time, the 56-year-old Whitby resident has been diagnosed with cancer several times and beaten it every step of the way. She has par- ticipated in the Run for Cure for 13 straight years and was one of the or- ganizers who helped bring the event to Durham Region. “Everyone from around here used to go to the Toronto run, but we wanted to have something here. At first the national office didn’t think there would be enough interest so they made Durham a satellite run,” says Ms. Keys who is one of three local run directors. “They said we would be lucky if we got 500 people and we had 1,300 the first year.” Since the Durham run started in 2000, participation and fundrais- ing numbers have both soared. Last year the event drew 4,000 people and brought in almost $500,000. In addition to raising much needed funds for the Canadian Breast Can- cer Foundation, Run for the Cure is a vital public awareness tool and a source of support for women coping with cancer. “The run is amazing, it’s like one big support group. Family and friends are important, but it’s nice to be sur- rounded by people who have shared your experiences,” Ms. Keys says. At the Running Room in Whitby, another support group of sorts has formed in recent years, as survivors gearing up for the run train with coaches and volunteers. Carol Turner, a survivor herself, has been coaching for years and calls the experience inspiring. “These are just incredible women,” she says of this year’s 25-member team, which includes newly diag- nosed patients, those undergoing treatment and some in remission. “Encouraging them is like preaching to the converted, they’re already so motivated.” The Running Room provides the team with clinics and training free of charge for eight weeks leading up to the run. Durham’s Run for the Cure takes place Sunday, Oct. 2, at Lakeview Park in Oshawa. Registration starts at 8 a.m. at the Jubilee Pavilion and the run gets un- derway at 10 a.m. Participants can run or walk 1 km or 5 km.

By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A psychiatric pa- tient ordered held at the Whitby Mental Health Centre after being found not criminally responsible for an offence has walked away from the facility for the second time in three months. Stephen Jones, 49, escaped from the facility Sept. 17 and was still missing as of week’s end, according to Durham Regional Police. He is described as having a history of violence, and police say he was ordered to stay at the centre after being found not re- sponsible for a criminal offence by reason of mental illness. Police have warned members of the public not to approach the man. Mr. Jones also went missing in early June and was at large for several days before being taken back into custody. In Ju ly, Craig Anthony Cowdell, another man ordered held after being found not criminally re- sponsible for an offence, went missing from the WMHC. He was at large until being found in the London area and returned to Whitby in early September. In both cases police were quick to issue public alerts after being informed of the escapes, said Inspector Paul Carroll of 18 Division in Whitby. He said es- capes from the centre are viewed as public safety issues. “It is a concern, from our point of view,” Insp. Carroll said. “The (WMHC) has a mandate to rehabilitate and re-integrate, but from a police point of view, because these are (not criminally responsible) patients, should there not be more restrictions placed on them?” WMHC Administrator Ron Ballantyne acknowledged inci- dents of patients going missing occasionally occur. “It’s infrequent, but it’s not uncommon,” he said. “There is no way of absolutely eliminating total risk.” Part of the Centre’s approach to rehabilitation is allowing pa- tients freedoms and privileges on an incremental basis, Mr. Bal- lantyne said. As they progress, patients are allowed gradually more access to the centre and its grounds, followed by escorted or unescorted community visits, he said. Patients are assessed daily, and security measures are regularly reviewed, Mr. Ballantyne said. “They won’t leave if there are concerns about their mental sta- tus,” he said. “We believe we have a very rigorous process in place to fulfill our mandate to keep our patients safe, to keep our staff safe and to keep the public safe.” On average, about a third of the patients at the 320-bed hos- pital have forensic designations, assigned by the courts and the Ontario Review Board (ORB) Mr. Ballantyne said. The ORB con- ducts annual reviews of foren- sic designations, and the centre structures programs accordingly, Mr. Ballantyne said. “They’re treated first as indi- viduals, second as individuals with mental illness and third, as people with mental illness who have a legal designation,” he said. “You have to undertake special protocols with regard to forensic designations.” Privacy legislation prevents Mr. Ballantyne from discussing either Mr. Jones or Mr. Cowdell.

Limited Time Offer Backyard Fire Pit Po r table Outdoor Patio Heater Th e 15-year history of Softub Canada is fi lled with all of the elements of a “small- town” Canada inspirational success story. Sudbury, Ontario is situated approximately 400 km north of Toronto, Ontario and is the home of Softub Canada. Softub Canada is gearing up to celebrate 15 years of successful business. Th ough the Softub concept was conceived by two engineers in California in the mid 1980s, success has been achieved in Canada since 1990. Softub was fi rst introduced to Canada after a chance discovery of the original product by Rob Chaput, a Sudbury resident and business owner on vacation in Florida in 1989. He was so impressed with the product that he contacted the inventor and obtained exclusive rights for Canadian manufacturing and distribution. Two business partners, Lee Tremblay and Wayne Fraser joined him in the venture resulting in the birth of Softub Canada. Since its inception, Softub Canada has grown from a company employing the labour of partners and two employees in a small warehouse in Val Caron (outside of Sudbury) with nine dealer retail locations, to its current 23,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sudbury, Ontario, employing 30. Th ere are now over 120 dealer locations across Canada with sales approaching $5 million annually. Sales growth of over 900 per cent since its inception in 1990 has earned Softub Canada the distinction of being placed 74th on the top 100 list of Canada’s fastest growing companies by Profi t magazine’s annual poll. Th is overwhelming growth has resulted in other awards including as Company of the Generation 2000 (Northern Ontario Business Awards), Entrepreneur of the Year 2000 (Sudbury Chamber of Commerce), Best After-Sales Service Company 2000 (SIMA Group Co-op) and Softub model 140 has been named a Consumer’s Digest Best Buy (Consumer Digest Magazine). Softub’s unique and trendy appeal has not gone unnoticed by the entertainment industry. Over the past several years, Softub has gained popularity with television and big screen producers. Having appeared in television series such as VIP, Th e Single Guy and Seinfeld and movies like Revenge of the Nerds, Softub continues to be the hot tub of choice for trendsetters.

Ontario network working on new energy systems By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — As energy prices and pollution con- cerns continue to rise, Dur- ham’s university is among those involved in a network working on new fuel cell technology. Peter Berg, an assistant professor for the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology and a fuel cell re- searcher, is a member of the Ontario Fuel Cell Research Network, a group created to establish new systems for alternative fuels such as hy- drogen and methanol. Through the network, information and resources will be shared, keeping re- searchers up-to-date on new developments, which is beneficial for UOIT as well as the group, said Mr. Berg. “We have a number of professors here who work in fuel cell and hydrogen themselves,” said Mr. Berg. “It’s the same story for us as for the network itself.” UOIT recently hosted the network’s first meeting, at- tended by approximately 30 researchers and 10 industry members who discussed why they are looking at fuel cells, said Mr. Berg. “Another goal of this net- work... you want to get feed- back on a regular basis,” Mr. Berg said. At the meeting, he was surprised by how much fuel cells are already being used to power equipment such as laptops and backup gen- erators. Mr. Berg said fuel cells are also being looked at for electric shavers, in which a refillable cartridge could re- place a battery. “It’s getting really close apparently,” he said. The military has an inter- est in fuel cells as well, said Mr. Berg. In remote areas, fuel cell systems could in- crease the life of radio con- tact devices compared to batteries. The technology could also run generators cooler than fuel such as die- sel and make it more chal- lenging to be discovered by infrared equipment. By using methane gas created at a sewage treat- ment plant, enough energy could be produced to power the plant and perhaps sell some as well, said Mr. Berg. Although fuel cells are being used in “niche” mar- kets now, it could be awhile before they are available in cars, said Mr. Berg. Materi- als, such as platinum used in creating fuel cells are very expensive and some are saying the equipment needs to be redeveloped to bring costs down, he said. Mr. Berg is currently work- ing on better ways of using the materials by getting rid of any amounts unused in producing the reaction or by making the fuel cells work more efficiently. Mr. Berg said even if fuel cell cars were currently available, the infrastructure is not accessible to provide fuel for them yet. He added fuel cells are being used for some public transit in Eu- rope. The Ontario Fuel Cell Re- search Network meets again in November. It is currently working on an application for money from the Ontario Research Fund. The group’s five-year proposal targets include more fuel cell grad- uates and patents. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 PAGE 23 A/P Incredibel comfort and exceptional style.

Grand gala boosts student opportunities Money to help students attend Durham’s college and university DURHAM — Hundreds of stu- dents will be able to attend post- secondary school in Durham thanks to money raised at a gala event last weekend. More than $250,000 raised at the Sept. 24 gala will support student bursaries and scholarships for Durham College and the Universi- ty of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy (UOIT). Contributions were made by sponsors, auction donors and guests. “Thanks to the generous spirit of our donors, numerous students will have access to high quality post-secondary education,” said David Chambers, president of the Durham College Foundation and vice-president of advancement with UOIT. “The tremendous sup- port from our Durham Region and Northumberland communities is overwhelming. “Their generosity reflects their commitment to ensuring a bright future for the leaders of tomor- row.” The sold-out event will provide students with educational oppor- tunities that may not have other- wise existed, add school officials. Durham resident will be among symposium participates By David Blumenfeld Staff Writer DURHAM — Not knowing is the worst part, Roger Wharmby says. The Bowmanville resident has been on dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant for the past six years. It may be another six, but one never can tell, he said. “The fear of the unknown is worse than the actual thing itself,” the 56-year-old said. “Once you actually get into doing it, it just becomes part of your routine of everyday life. Family and friends all adjust around it.” Diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of 20, Mr. Wharmby con- ducts peritoneal dialysis, through his stomach, on his own rather than having to travel to Lakeridge Health Whitby for traditional out- patient dialysis, in which blood is taken out of the body, cleansed and then restored. “What it is basically, I carry di- alysis fluid around in my stomach and do exchanges through the day. I put fresh fluid in and drain the old fluid out” he said. “It saves me going to the hospital three times a week to get dialysis done.” On Oct. 2, Mr. Wharmby will attend an all-day symposium at Whitby Mental Health Centre being held for kidney patients and others interested in kidney health. Presented by the Kidney Foun- dation of Canada, in cooperation with Lakeridge Health’s Regional Nephrology Program, the informa- tion sessions will focus on infec- tion control, diet and exercise, kid- ney transplant developments and dialysis choices. A panel of several patients will also discuss their own personal stories. “For me personally, I’m inter- ested in what’s happening with the transplant situation,” Mr. Wharm- by said. “For somebody who is think- ing of dialysis or just starting it, it’s going to take them through how to take control of the system itself, because you’ve started into a whole new realm of treatment.” Mr. Wharmby, a married father of two who, up to a year in a half ago, had a career in sales, said he has the same problems with fatigue as other people with kid- ney disease. When he first started dialysis, he thought a transplant would happen in the near future. “When you first go on, as much as they tell you there’s a wait... you still think it’s going to be soon,” Mr. Wharmby said. “Then after a while, you put it to the back of your mind that it’s just something that may happen one day. “I actually had a call about six weeks ago that there was a kidney available, but I had an infection so I couldn’t go because the anti- rejection drugs would have just let it run rampant. That was sort of an anti-climax, you know... but at least you know your name’s on the list,” he said. “Having had a phone call already, I’m a lot more hopeful than I was six months ago, let’s put it that way.” For information about attend- ing the Oct. 2 kidney symposium in Whitby, call Susan Mintz at the Kidney Foundation of Canada at 1-800-387-4474 ext. 251. For dialysis patient the unknown is greatest fear DURHAM — The Rouge Valley Health System is talking to patients about simple ways to improve safety and care. The provincial initiative is part of the Ontario Hospital Association’s Patient Safety Tips promotion and aligns well with the hospital’s Family Centred Care focus, which welcomes greater family participation in care. Wall mounted posters and infor- mational brochures are going to be available in several areas in both the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering and Centenary sites. The campaign is centred on five patient safety tips: Be involved in your health care and speak up if you have questions or concerns about your care; tell a member of your health-care team about your past illnesses and your current health condition; bring all of your medicines with you when you go to the hospital or to a medical appointment; tell a member of your health-care team if you have ever had an allergic or bad reaction to medicine or food; and make sure you know what to do when you go home from the hospital or from your own medical appointment.

But improvements needed with home readiness, satisfaction DURHAM — A survey of new home buyers ranks two of the region’s big- gest builders at the top of the list. Tribute Communities was No. 1 on the J.D. Power and Associates Greater To ronto Area (GTA) customer satisfac- tion survey, while Brookfield Homes was ranked third. Mattamy Homes was second. Almost 5,000 customers who bought single, semi-detached and town hous- es in 2004 were asked to rank their builders based on sales staff, design centre, home readiness, customer ser- vice, price/value, design, quality and location. On a 1,000-point scale, Tribute scored 769, while Brookfield scored 727. But with an industry average of only 612 out of 1,000, overall customer sat- isfaction with GTA builders is low in comparison to other industries J.D. Power measures, the company said. Builders may have scored high for lo- cation, physical design elements and sales staff, but they received the lowest ratings for home readiness -- which includes the home’s condition on clos- ing and accuracy of the closing date -- and customer service. These are two of the most important factors in consumer happiness, said Darren Slind, a spokesman for J.D. Power. “It is clear new home buyers are sending a message that there is consid- erable room for improvement in how some builders handle what is probably the largest purchase consumers ever make,” he said. Tribute has communities across Durham, including Brooklin in north Whitby, Windfield Farms in north Os- hawa and Nottingham in north Ajax. Brookfield built the exclusive Wood- en Sticks development around the golf course in Uxbridge, and has commu- nities in Pickering and Whitby. In 2004, the Region of Durham is- sued 4,911 new residential building permits worth $900 million.

The Pickering Museum Village has introduced Stepping in Tyme, a group of museum volunteers that meets every second Tuesday to learn and perform popular dances from the 1800s. “What people did for leisure is a wonderful way of teaching his- tory,” says Katrina Pyke, the vol- unteer and program co-coordina- tor at the museum. “The way we dance has evolved a great deal. We’ve gone from only touching by hand to actually holding each other quite close, so there’s been an evolution in society as well as in dance.” The group has practiced Eng- lish country line dances since its inception in June, and will soon be moving to polka dances. Qua- drilles and waltzes are also on the agenda. Interest in the 36-member club has been so high amongst volun- teers that a waiting list is now in effect. “There’s been fabulous inter- est, and a tremendous amount of support. Everyone’s having a good time, it’s a wonderful group of people,” she said. The idea for the club came from museum volunteer Jonathan Rucinski, who passed away before the club’s inception. “His dream was to introduce a dance program for school children, and this is our way of memorializing his dream. We’d hoped he’d be here to see it, but he knew we were doing it.” At the museum’s Christmas in the Village event (Dec. 4 and 11), they will further honor Jonathan’s memory by throwing ‘Squire Jon- athan’s Christmas Ball’, where the group will perform. This year the group will only perform at museum events, but next year it will look to showcase its skills at shows around the prov- ince. “They take a little while to learn a dance, and work up to a level where they’re comfortable demonstrating it,” says Pike. While the dancing club is open to museum volunteers only, that doesn’t mean the public can’t get involved. “We do some on- site demonstrations, and at our Christmas event we’ll be encour- aging the public to join in on the dances.” Musicians who want to join the fun can also contribute. “We don’t have a lot of musicians among our volunteers, so we’re looking abroad for them,” said Pyke. “It wouldn’t be appropriate to use re- corded music. We want wind and string instruments particularly, and obviously nothing electric. We’re looking for musicians to come out and have a great time.” For more information, call Pyke at 905-683-8401 A.J.

Serenity opens at area cinemas The following movies open in theatres this weekend: Serenity Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk PG-13 Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the los- ing side) of a galactic civil war, now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for- hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew that is the closest thing he has left to family -- squabbling, insubordi- nate and undyingly loyal. When Malcolm takes on two new passengers -- a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister -- he gets much more than he bargained for. They are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at noth- ing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unno- ticed finds itself caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different en- emies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.

A living room on stilts in the middle of a freshly cut field of timothy and another installation in a field of wild grasses serve as reflective devices to contemplate the question: What is nature? Rigby, who lives on federal lands, prepared Shifting Landscapes No. 1 and No. 2 for viewing on Oct. 1 and 2 from noon to 4 p.m. She intends the works to address our relationship with the environment and the impact of urban sprawl on remaining farmland in north Pickering. People are invited to climb stairs to sit in a chair in the living room and look out over the surrounding countryside or to follow a path into a field of wild grasses to par- ticipate in a sculptural mandala. The installations are located in a field on Sideline 34 south of Eight Concession Road (east of the York- Durham Townline); Ms. Rigby ad- vises to watch for the red arrows. Call 905-649-3701.

And, in the case of St. Michael’s Buzzers’ John Scrymgeour, it appears to have worked out well indeed. After two seasons on the Picker- ing Panthers roster, the 19-year-old Pickering resident switched alle- giances over the summer and hasn’t looked back. In fact, the 6-foot, 190-pound for- ward was chiefly responsible for his squad’s dismantling of his former team 8-4 at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Wednesday night. All told, Scrymgeour tallied a hat trick and added two assists. So far, Scrymgeour has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in eight games with the Buzzers. He’s cur- rently sitting second in scoring on St. Mike’s, which currently sports a 5-2-1 record. In We dnesday’s game Scrym- geour logged a significant amount of ice time, taking a regular shift in addition to being a big part of St. Mike’s special teams play, scoring once on the power play. Scrymgeour, however, wouldn’t hear of any thoughts about show- ing up his former squad and team- mates with a nifty five-point effort. The win, he says, was his only focus going into the contest. “I just wanted to get the ‘W’,” he says, stepping out from a raucous St. Mike’s dressing room. “I’m glad to be part of this organization. They have a winning tradition here and I want to live up to their expecta- tions.” Leaving the Panthers, he says, was more to do with him wanting to join St. Mike’s than any animosity toward the Panthers. In fact, Scrym- geour says he was simply ready for a new challenge. “Pickering had a good team, but I wanted to come to St. Michael’s. I like the strategies the coaching staff have put together. I also felt it was time for a change.” For the Panthers’ part, constant trips to the penalty box were the order of the day, as referee Ted Voinou kept a steady stream of Pick- ering players in the box, whistling 25 calls, amounting to 47 minutes in infractions. And, the Buzzers took full advan- tage, scoring four of their eight goals with the man advantage, including two goals with two Panthers in the box. Clearly perturbed at the loss, Pan- thers’ head coach John Winder was as charitable as possible with his charges’ inability to keep their com- posure. “Tonight as a team, we were rightly or wrongly called for penal- ties, but we lost our composure and that’s not good,” he says. Most disturbing to Winder was what he believes was a non-call from the officials after forward Todd Hos- mer was bloodied by a high stick. “We had a guy whose nose was bleeding and three guys don’t see it,” he says. “It’s tough for the guys to rebound from that when three officials on the ice somehow miss that.” That’s not to say the Panthers didn’t have their chances. In fact, the Panthers outshot the Buzzers in all three periods, ending up ahead 39-33 at the end of the contest. Trailing 5-2 entering the third pe- riod, Pickering scored the first two goals to get within one. The Buzz- ers, however, closed out the contest with three more markers, two on the power play. A bright spot in the Panthers’ line- up was the play of Justin Fox, who notched a hat trick and earned an assist on A.J. Ward’s goal. Winder says Fox had struggled with his game of late, but a meet- ing prior to Wednesday’s contest seemed to do the trick. “He was in a bit of a dry spell, so we had a talk about it and he agreed to pick his game up and I thought he did that,” says Winder.

The Buzzers won 8-4. Local players help Durham College Lords soccer teams to wins DURHAM — Make it three in a row for the Durham Lords wom- en’s soccer team. The Lords recorded their third straight conference win and shut- out on Wednesday night against the Centennial Colts. In fact, the offence wasn’t too shabby either in the 6-0 win. Ja na Cryderman led the way notching her third and fourth goals of the season, while Aman- da Durno added her fourth of the year also. Tammy Baker boot- ed her sec- ond marker and Tanya Zdravkovski and Jodi Denbok each rippled the twine for the first time. With the win, the Lords re- mained undefeated with a 3-0 record. The Durham Lords women’s team featured local Ajax and Pickering players Ashley and Abbie Visser and Jodi DenBok. Meanwhile, the Durham Lords men’s soccer team also accom- plished a 3-0 record with a road win over the George Brown Hus- kies of Toronto. Dong Yang broke the scoreless tie in the first half with a goal in the 34th minute and play con- tinued back and forth with both goaltenders standing tall until the 89th minute when defender Erik Worsley notched his first goal in a Lords uniform. Joshua Forth and Ryan Tod- ish are among the local contin- gent on the Lords men’s soccer squad.

AJAX — A new netball club in town is looking for participants to take part in building a clubhouse. Netball is a non-contact sport similar to basketball in that players attempt to score goals by throwing a ring attached to a goal post. But, unlike hoops, there’s no backboard. The sport is popular in Australia, New Zealand, England and in most Carib- bean islands. Currently, the sport is played in certain Ontario communities and in Alberta.

The championship hinged on the final Rich- mond Hill ‘A’ Raiders shoot- er, after the Lightning and Raiders failed to break a 1-1 draw through two pressure- packed 10-minute over- time halves. Unfortunately for Ajax, the Richmond Hill player was successful, earning the home team the title. The Lightning gave a full- out effort, scoring the first goal. Richmond Hill replied with the equalizer later in the game. Lightning goal- keeper Michelle Blakely earned the championship game’s most valuable play- er award. Ajax scored a pressure- cooker victory over the Bar- rie Spirit in the semifinals. With less than one min- ute to play, the Lightning scored off a corner kick for a 2-1 victory. At the end of the first 30- minute half, the game was scoreless. But, at the 37th minute, Barrie managed to get on the scoreboard with a goal off a corner kick. The Lightning girls refused to give up and got the equal- izer at the 50-minute mark, using the momentum to score the game winner late in the contest. The Lightning had a rela- tively easy time in their first two preliminary games, scoring a 4-0 victory over the Richmond Hill Raiders ‘B’ squad and then defeat- ing the Aurora Stingers by a similar 4-0 score. With two wins in round-robin play, Ajax sewed up first place in their pool. The Lightning faced the Richmond Hill ‘A’ in Game 3, losing 2-0. The tournament was the first time the Lightning had played on the large field. Throughout the season, the Lightning played 7-on- 7 mini-field games. They showed they could adjust physically and skillfully to the full-field game. Other team members are Stephanie DiVita, Shaniqua Meikle, Katelyn Haisley, Nadia Ben Hamoud, Carlie Stewart, Brianne Wagar, Jordan Thornton, Nicole Sale, Aliya Lindo, Sharita Henry and guest players Nichelle Prince, Maha Sa- rout, MacKenzie Brauer and Kiana Chiu. Paul Meikle coaches the team, assisted by Kurt Hais- ley, Ben Hamoud and team manager Rosanna DiVita. The trainer is Valerie Sale. The team is holding try- outs Oct. 2. The team will play on a bigger-size field next season, so any new players interested in join- ing should call coach Paul Meikle at 416-579-7299. putting our energy to good use www.opg.com PICKERING NUCLEAR MORE ELECTRICITY FOR YOU “THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF OPG’S DEDICATED TEAM OF PROJECT, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE PROFESSIONALS, ONTARIO IS NOW USING ELECTRICITY FROM A CLEAN ENERGY SOURCE: THE 515 MW UNIT 1 AT PICKERING NUCLEAR.” Bill Robinson At 6:36 pm on September 26, Unit 1 was synchronized to the provincial transmission grid, and the refurbished unit began to provide power to Ontario consumers for the first time in almost eight years. The men and women who worked on this project – and there were almost 3,000 of them at the peak – are as excited as I am to see the successful completion of this complex and challenging project. This group has worked long hours for almost 15 months to install more than 2.9 million parts and fulfill 144 nuclear regulatory prerequisites. And the safety record is extraordinary in the high-risk world of construction projects with almost five million hours worked without a lost-time incident. Over the next few weeks we will continue testing on the many systems that make up the plant as we finalize the unit for commercial operation later this fall. Bill Robinson is Senior Vice President of Pickering A Return to Service and the Project Manager for the Unit 1 project. Reach him at bill.robinson@opg.com.
