Durham police say the woman was driving a 1995 Pontiac van south on Brock Road near Conces- sion 7 at 1:50 p.m. when it lost con- trol, entered a ditch and rolled. Dur- ham EMS, Pickering Fire along with officers from the Ajax/Pickering Community Police Office attended the scene and discovered five oc- cupants, which included 1 year-old twins and two 16 year olds. The children were taken to Rouge Val- ley Ajax Pickering Hospital with minor injuries. All have since been released from hospital. Police say the woman was driving at more than three times the legal limit of alcohol at the time of the ac- cident. She has been charged with impaired operation of a motor ve- hicle - exceed .08 and several other Highway Traffic Act offences.

Pickering woman driving kids charged with impaired Ontario Regulation allows for a salary increase By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — School board trust- ees could be getting a big raise. The Durham Catholic District School Board held a special board meeting Aug. 22, regarding Regula- tion 357/06 - honorarium for board members. And the public board’s draft budget reflects an increase of more than $130,000 for trustee sala- ries in the 2006/07 school year. “Nothing is happening with it yet,” said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hop- per, of the Durham District School Board. Trustee Hopper said the honorar- ium legislation and its requirements are on the Aug. 30 board meeting agenda. Approval of the draft budget is also on the agenda, and shows the estimated amount for trustee sala- ries going from $64,000 in 2005/06 to $198,440 in 2006/2007. Trustee Hopper said the board has nothing to do with the estimated increase. She said staff included it in consid- eration of the provincial legislation’s parameters. The board’s chairman, Oshawa Trustee Mike Barrett, and vice- chairwoman, Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford, did not return calls before press time. Under the legislation, Catholic board members could receive an increase of more than $5,000 per year. The base salary for Durham’s Catholic trustees could go from its current $5,000 to $5,900 a year, and an enrolment component could pro- vide another $5,378.19 per member, according to a board staff report. An attendance fee of $50 per meet- ing could also be added for specific committees. But, before a remuneration policy can be passed, school boards have to establish a Citizens’ Advisory Committee with three parents and three school council members to review the role of trustees and rec- ommend an honorarium amount. “This citizens’ committee is DREAMERS A.J.

According to Catholic board staff, the committee’s role is just to recommend the honorarium and trustees can still increase their salary to the maximum allowed by the legislation’s for- mula. In the Catholic board’s case, the maximum would be a base salary of $5,900 and another $5,378.19 per member under the enrolment formula. Trustee Lefort asked for clari- fication on the selection process for the citizens’ committee. “We have to be transparent,” she said. “A bsolutely,” said Catholic board chairwoman and Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin. Trustee Martin said the regula- tion says trustees are to select the citizen members. The board de- ferred a motion to establish the committee until its first meeting in September, so it can further investigate the selection process. After the citizens’ committee makes its recommendations, the board has to establish a salary policy by Oct. 31. The board will also create a policy regarding ret- roactive honorarium from Sept. 1, 2005 to Nov. 30, 2006. Ryan Putnam, comptroller of finance for the board, said the retroactive salary for trustees could be as high as $7,832.50. Ontario trustees have been receiving $5,000 a year, with chairpersons and vice-chairper- sons often earning more, since the mid-1990s, when the former Mike Harris government set the salary amount. In March, the ministry of education introduced legislation to increase the hono- rarium for trustees. Trouble for commuters PICKERING — Some com- muters who rely on GO Transit to get them to Toronto were left waiting this morning. Two of the scheduled, non- express, westbound trains from Pickering to Union Sta- tion were cancelled Friday. GO reports the 8:18 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. trains were cancelled because of mechanical prob- lems. There were no other prob- lems on the route and GO re- ported soon afterwards that everything was running fine. ✦ We from page 1 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 27, 2006 PAGE 3 A/Pdurhamregion.com SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE pickeringtowncentre.com Inpartnership w ith the United Way!

New UOIT president takes helm Dr. Ronald Bordessa takes over from retired Gary Polonsky By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — The first day of school started early and ended late for Ronald Bordessa. Ta king over from University of On- tario Institute of Technology’s (UOIT) founding president, Gary Polonsky, Dr. Bordessa started his new job on Aug. 14. “(The first day) was a mix of meeting people, figur- ing out my surroundings and dealing with things that presidents have to deal with,” said Dr. Bordessa. “It did go by quickly; I was here early and left late and I didn’t have lunch. I had to eat in my of- fice.” Along with meet and greets, Dr. Bordessa also spent his first day getting to know UOIT policies and dealing with the Province. His sec- ond day included a visit with Whitby MP Jim Flaherty. Dr. Bordessa said the next few weeks will likely include more meetings and discovering issues, as well as how to deal with them. “It’s really important to make con- nections with the ministry (of educa- tion) and the rest of the education system,” he said. “UOIT is the right institution for this time and place; it has a real opportunity in front of it and it’s our job to make sure it’s understood and supported.” Dr. Bordessa also plans on making connections with other presidents in the province to learn more about the Ontario university system and get ad- vice. He’s also meeting with the deputy minister of the ministry of training, colleges and universities. In the near future, he also hopes to hold a drop-in day where students and staff can stop by his office, have a cof- fee and say hello. At age 62, Dr. Bordessa joins UOIT with more than 30 years of post-sec- ondary experience under his belt. His most recent involvement was as vice-president, academic and provost at Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. He has also taught at undergradu- ate and graduate levels for Atkinson College at York University, where he held several academic adminis- trative positions, including associate dean and dean of the college. Dr. Bordessa was announced in April as the replacement for the retiring Dr. Polonsky. Although Dr. Bordessa received a campus tour while visiting Durham when the announcement was made, his first official day on the job provided him with a behind-the-scenes look at the facility. “The buildings are very high qual- ity,” said Dr. Bordessa. “The labora- tories are especially state of the art, spacious and modern... they are very functional.” From his second-floor office in the Business and IT department, Dr. Bord- essa said he can look out the window, at the Polonsky Commons, and see the construction currently taking place on the expanding campus.

Thank you, Ken, for your dedication to building a fully inclusive Canada. Earlier today, at The Black Dog Pub in West Rouge, Toronto’s Top 20 Most Accessible Sports Bars and Pubs were announced by Warren’s World, a March of Dimes advocacy project. The Black Dog Pub was chosen unanimously by the Warren’s World crew as Toronto’s Most Accessible sports bar & pub due its outstanding and demonstrated commitment to accessibility. Warren’s World visited nearly 90 sports bar establishments throughout the duration of the Fifa World Cup 2006 to promote the same inclusiveness that is embodied in the sport of soccer, and determine Toronto’s Top 20 Most Accessible Establishments. The message of the initiative focused on the positive attributes of accessibility and inclusiveness, and the encouragement of all proprietors in Toronto and Canada to embrace accessibility. 36 Time Award Winner The Black Dog. 87 Island Rd, just East of Port Union, South of the 401 416-286-4544 www.blackdogpub.com bark@blackdogpub.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 27, 2006 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 27, 2006 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keep young kids out of court No doubt Attorney-General Vic Toews is well-intentioned when he says he wants children as young as 10 or 11 to go before a judge for certain criminal acts, but the idea lacks practical applications. For one, our courts are already backlogged and we simply don’t have enough Crown attorneys or judges to handle the cases already in the system. For that matter, in Durham at least, we don’t even have enough courtrooms to keep up with all the cases that are already flooding the system. In addition, surely kids in Grade 4 and 5 -- because that’s where you’ll find most 10- and 11 year-olds -- can be better dealt with by the social services system we have in place right now. That’s where youngsters are handled by the system; otherwise they’re delivered home to their parents where they’ll hopefully get a stern talking to. The minister has floated the idea that it would be best to try to head off trouble among youngsters before they wind up as re- peat youthful offenders in their teens. And that’s a stand nobody would try to argue with. However, the question then becomes: How do we best deal with potential youthful troublemakers before they become entrapped in the revolving door of criminal behaviour? Does bringing them into the system at an earlier age keep them out of it when they get older? One issue clearly is cost. Are we prepared to spend more money on our criminal justice system to pay for the increased time judges, Crowns and police would spend by bringing under-12s into court? At a time when all levels of government are grappling with public spending issues and when the feds, at least, are pushing for tax cuts, are we prepared to spend more? It would seem the issue of more court time vs. lower taxes are at cross purposes. As well, it would seem the vast majority of those who commit offences at such a tender age can be bet- ter dealt with in the existing system than by adding them to an already overcrowded docket. While the minister and the justice committee can thoroughly investigate the prospect, this is one notion that requires much more work before a final decision can be made. Province should pay heed on trucks To the editor: Re: ‘Let’s slow down those big rigs’, Aug. 20 column. I couldn’t agree with you more! After having some near misses on Hwy. 401 caused by trucks doing the very things you wrote about, I did write several times to the ministry of transport and the minister in charge and put forward suggestions very similar to yours. They include mak- ing through traffic use Hwy. 407 to bypass Toronto, restricting overtaking to the centre lane only, or limiting the speed to 90 km and not tailgating, as many trucks do, by making them keep a distance of at least 20 metres from cars. I did finally receive a reply, which gave, in the typical bu- reaucratic reply, the usual platitudes and excuses why nothing or very little could be done. But, not a single remark that, yes, the suggestions made do merit some consideration and that the department is now actively looking into what is a serious highway problem. I can never understand how it is that the average citizen can come up with viable solutions to many of the problems that arise in the running of this province, or of the country for that matter, but the people in charge cannot, or will not, for one reason or another, do anything or take advice from us plebeians. Thanks again for bring this concern to the public’s attention!

T he nine-month saga at General Motors came to an end on Mon- day in a media circus revolving around a shiny red Camaro. For those involved in the often-tense negotiations, the announcement that Oshawa beat out all the competition and won the bid to build the remake of the great American muscle car was sweet victory. Representatives from all levels of government came to bask in the news. From large political figures like Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and federal Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty, to local politicians and community lead- ers, it was smiles and handshakes all around. But for the workers whose jobs will hopefully be saved by the new product line that will be built inside a soon- to-be revamped flexible manufacturing facility, the mood was more cautious. Asked what they thought, many shrugged their shoulders and said it was good news but they were still con- cerned about the future. And who can blame them? In November 2005, these very work- ers heard that more than 3,500 of them would be handed the pink slip by 2008. Then a scant three months later, Gen- eral Motors bullied the Canadian Auto Workers union into signing a cost-cut- ting agreement saying that if the Os- hawa plant couldn’t become even more competitive, GM would not award it new products and the plants would eventually phase out and shut down. The workers would all lose their jobs. Now it seems that at least some of those jobs will be saved, although no one really knows how many. The CAW believes that most of the job loss that will result from turning the two plants (that currently run on five shifts) into one large plant (that will run on a maximum of three shifts) can be achieved through attrition. GM is saying that the amount of people who will be employed at the new plant will depend on how well the products built in it sell. With the lack of substantial numbers, it is understandable that, even as the announcement is praised as good news in almost every media outlet, the work- ers remain skeptical. They are, after all, the ones who have everything to lose. Reporter Izabela Jaroszynski’s column appears every other Sunday. E-mail ijaros zynski@durhamregion.com.

DURHAM — With bookstores and dorm rooms, college and university can seem as exciting and as unknown as the many hallways first-year students will have to navigate to find their classes. Entering post-secondary school is a big transition time, said Melissa Bo- somworth, a first-year experience co- ordinator for Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology (UOIT). She said an important component to starting the year off right is attending orientation days. “It’s an opportunity for them to be on campus, get their campus ID cards... purchase textbooks,” said Ms. Bosom- worth. She added going to orien- tation will help reduce some of the uncertainty of what to ex- pect and allow students to meet some of the faculty and people with whom they’ll be going to school. It will also provide them with information about clubs and activities. “Each student will have their own things they think will be challenging for them,” said Ms. Bosomworth. She said an academic challenge for new students could be the indepen- dence they’ll face because they don’t have to attend classes, but are encour- aged to for success. “It’s that you need to take the respon- sibility to do it yourself,” said Ms. Bo- somworth. “Students should, right from the beginning, be going to their classes, doing their assigned reading.” Time management is important for first-time students, said Aarti Sharma, a UOIT student entering her second-year of criminology. Ms. Sharma encouraged new students to keep up throughout the year. “In the end, when it comes to exams, cramming doesn’t work,” she said. “Ba- sically, it tends to get lax sometimes. In terms of late nights and parties, it’s prob- ably better to choose what you really want to go to. “Time management was a big thing for me,” laughed Ms. Sharma. She added students shouldn’t put too much on their plate in terms of work and student organizations. University student Howard Chow also had some suggestions for success. “This university (UOIT) is using lap- tops, so learn how to use the Windows well and the software well,” said Mr. Chow. He said knowing the software can reduce delays when working on tests. He also advised students to take lots of notes and pay close attention in class. For first-year students, it’s important for them to know professors can and want to help them succeed, said Ms. Bosomworth. “I’d say talk to anyone you can,” said David Bird, who’s entering his third year of university. “Don’t be shy because the more professors you talk to the more successful you’ll be because you’ll be comfortable in your studies.” Ms. Bosomworth added there are learning support services available. “It’s easy to get over- whelmed in a new en- vironment, but there are people here to help them,” she said. As part of a bal- anced education, students should also get involved with on-campus activi- ties, said Ms. Bosom- worth. DURHAM — Work and school can co-exist - with a little balance. By being organized and setting priorities, post-secondary students can better accomplish a balance between studies, work and social life, said Tara Blackburn, director of career and employment services at Durham College and the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). “For me, from the experience I’ve had so far, it’s about man- aging your time... no procrastination,” said Theodora Biney, a fourth-year manufacturing student at UOIT, who works on campus. “For the first week of both school and work, it’s a bit difficult, but then you get used to it and know how to balance both really well.” Ms. Blackburn recommended students look at all seven days of the week to make sure it’s balanced. She also encour- aged students to find a job that works around their academic schedule and leaves time for studying, assignments and social life. “It’s no fun if you’re working all the time or studying all the time,” said Ms. Blackburn. She said students should keep an agenda so they can write down their work hours, study groups and other events. Although Durham College and UOIT doesn’t record how many students work and go to school, she said they do go into classrooms to talk about the services they provide and, while there, ask students if they have a part-time job. “I would say 50-60 per cent put up their hand in any class,” said Ms. Blackburn. She added having a part-time job and going to school also depends on a course’s workload. Muhammad Ullah, a third-year university student, has cho- sen to only work in the summer. “It’s very tough to do both at that time,” said Mr. Ullah. To help students find part-time work, Durham College and UOIT have a job fair during orientation and most post-sec- ondary schools have a career centre to help students find jobs, she said. Durham College and UOIT also offer work study jobs on campus, run through its financial aid offices, which provide a minimum of eight hours of work a week. The schools also have an on-line job site that receives more than 300 hits per day, seven days a week, said Ms. Blackburn. DURHAM — Te resa Engelage is used to seeing tired stu- dents. When it comes to balancing college and university work, jobs and social life, sleep and diet can suffer and impact a student’s ability to focus, said Ms. Engelage, a health nurse at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). “Sleep is big; if you can keep your sleep under control, a lot of things will fall in place with you,” said Ms. Engelage, adding a lack of sleep is a problem often seen on campus. “It affects their ability to mentally think in class, study properly... and even judgment,” she said. “It really impacts their ability to make a decision.” Ms. Engelage said students often visit a mental health nurse to receive counselling services or doctor referrals if their sleep disruption is caused by anxiety or depression. Some students may watch the clock while lying in bed, but turning it away may help them nod off, said Ms. Engelage. She also suggested avoiding nico- tine, caffeine and alcohol, which disturb sleep. Although stress can be reduced with regular work- outs, exercise should be avoid- ed within two hours before bedtime, she said. Students should also eat right and include fruits and vegetables in their diet to en- sure they have enough energy, Ms. Engelage said.

His team placed 13th out of 16. Malcolm only started playing a year and a half ago. He said there are mis- conceptions about the game, which he describes as fun and a way to learn teamwork. “When you first play bridge you hear it is an old ladies’ game because a lot of young people don’t play, so I didn’t have any idea this was happening,” he said of the youth champi- onships. He learned how to play from a family friend and then took it up seriously by playing with his dad. His whole family plays the game. His mother jokes she’s been playing for years and he’s already surpassed her skill level. “It was kind of like a fun new game I learned,” Malcolm said. “It’s a good game to play. There’s a lot of competitions.” The farthest from home he’d played before the world championships was Denver. He said the experi- ence was great. There were players there from all over the world – the school cat- egory, in which he plays, had 16 countries represent- ed and the junior category had 18. He spent time with play- ers from Sweden, Poland and Australia during his 14 days in Thailand. Malcolm said bridge is kind of in the underground in Canada, with few people playing, but is more popular in other parts of the world, such as Europe, where peo- ple of all ages play. Malcolm said he gets to play with his teammate and championship partner once in a while because he lives in Scarborough. He said he usually plays about once a week, noting he can play online with people he’s met from around the world. Meeting people is one of the things he likes about bridge. “I really enjoy meeting the new people, especially meeting the bridge pros – even though it’s not like meeting Tiger Woods,” Mal- colm said. He also said bridge can teach people valuable skills. “It’s a great game for those partnership skills and logic skills,” he said. Getting to travel to exotic places such as Thailand is also a perk, and they were able to spend a lot of time sightseeing between play- ing. “It was a new culture to experience, something so different and far off,” he said. He plans to continue playing and hopes to head to the next world champi- onship in two years. He can play at the school level until he is 21 and the junior level has a maximum age of 26. For now he’s prepar- ing to return to Pine Ridge Secondary School where he is entering Grade 11. At school he enjoys playing rugby. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Malcom McColl is a bridge enthusiast who says it allows him to meet new people. Real estate icon dies By Izabela Jaroszynski Staff Writer DURHAM — A week after saying good-bye to Ted McCracken, the real estate community has lost yet an- other icon. George Twaites died on Monday at the Wynfield Long-term Care centre in Oshawa. He was 82. Mr. Twaites joined what was then known as the Os- hawa and District Real Estate Board in the early 1970s. He served as a director for four years before taking up the post of first vice-president in 1975. A year later he became president of the board. Mr. Twaites was part of numerous committees and was president at the time the board’s first magazine was launched. He stayed active on the board after it changed its name to the Durham Region Real Estate Board (DRREB) in 1994. Gloria Russell, a photog- rapher at DRREB, remem- bers him as always having a good attitude. “Cheerful and giving are the words that describe George,” she said. “In his reign as board president, he always exceeded expecta- tions and was involved in every aspect of the board.” The Twaites family con- tinues to be active in the real estate community. Mr. Twaites’s wife, Kathleen, was president in 1986 and continues to be a member. Their son, Brian Twaites, is also on the board. Mr. Twaites is remem- bered by many in the Dur- ham community as a kind man and a leader. “He used to come to the office just to visit and would always bring candy,” says Margaret Cox, an advertising sales rep for Metroland Dur- ham Region Media Group. “He was a very gentle man, a family man, a man very involved in his community.” Mr. Twaites was an icon in the real estate world, Ms. Cox adds. “A pillar of the real estate community. He always had a smile on his face.” Mr. Twaites leaves be- hind Kathleen, his wife of 60 years, his children, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “He will be dearly missed,” says Nilda Wright, MLS Administrator for DRREB. “From functions and com- mittees to volunteerism, George made sure he gave it his all.” In lieu of flowers, dona- tions to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheim- er Society would be appreci- ated. durhamregion.comP PAGE 10 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 27, 2006 Healthwellness ADVERTISING FEATURE& The weight loss program you’ll love for life. one-on-one support all-natural products grocery store food As our clients vary, so do their results.

They are caused by the body’s reaction to various allergens such as pollens, molds, dust, and animal dan- der. Allergies that occur in the fall are often due to weed pollens, such as ragweed. The majority of allergy sufferers are affected by decreased energy levels, the inability to remain alert and focused during daily activities and a reduced quality of life. Typical allergy symptoms include continuous sneezing, a runny or stuffed nose, itchy, watery, red or swollen eyes, and an itchy throat. Ta ke control of your allergies! The key to fi nding relief is to learn how to manage your symptoms on a daily basis. Don’t let allergies limit your activities! Next time you set out on a trip or plan a visit to a friend or family member, take certain precau- tions to make sure that allergies do not get the best of you. Here are several tips provided by the al- lergy experts at Claritin: . Pack an “allergy bag” with an ade- quate supply of medication. . When driving, close car windows and set the air conditioner to re-circulate. . Reserve a non-smoking hotel room (cigarette smoke can aggravate allergy symp- toms). . Make sure that indoor hotel activities and amenities are available (if you must take a break from the outdoors). . Stay inside as much as possible on hot, windy days (when pollen counts are at their highest) ASANA BODY & MIND HOT YOGA First Week Unlimited $20 Weekdays 7:00 pm, Sunday 9:00 am Tues & Thurs 9:30 am 377 Mackenzie Ave., Ajax 905-426-1998 www.asanayogaajax.com Calm Mind ~ Fit Body ~ Free Spirit and minimize your walks in wooded areas or gardens. . Keep informed of pollen levels in your area when planning outdoor activities or pre-treat your allergies by tuning in to the Claritin Pollen Forecast every 28 min- utes past the hour on the Weather Network. People can also work with their doctor to develop a treatment plan that suits their needs. Medication such as a non-drowsy antihistamine, like Claritin, is commonly used to relieve allergy symptoms. Such treatment gives allergy sufferers the freedom to go back to their normal daily activities.

It will be demonstrating first-aid tech- niques at an upcoming orientation and recruitment night in Whitby. Representatives from the Canadian Ski Patrol System (Kawartha Zone) will be recruiting members of the public who love to ski and want to learn first-aid at a free public orientation session at the Whitby Curling Club, 815 Brock St. N. It’s on Thursday, Sept. 7. From 7 to 10 p.m., patrol leaders and representatives from the Canadian Ski Patrol will be available for a meet-and greet, as well as able to spend time de- tailing their procedures at individual ski resorts. The Canadian Patrol System is a non- profit, volunteer organization founded in 1940 to promote safe skiing and pro- vide assistance to injured skiers. To day, it has approximately 6,000 members across Canada serving in or- ganized patrols at 225 ski areas. In Durham, members of the patrol monitor and provide first-aid at resorts such as Dagmar Ski Resort in Ashburn, Oshawa Ski Club, Lakeridge Ski Resort and Skyloft Ski and Country Club in Ux- bridge. “It’s a great opportunity to learn top- notch first aid, learn to treat injured people and how to work as a team in a team environment,” said Tim Legere, director of recruiting. “It’s a chance to make a lot of new friends... to learn a lot of life skills. It’s a very sociable organization.” Visitors can take advantage of first-aid demonstrations, informative videos and view equipment at the orientation night in Whitby. As well, they will learn what is ex- pected of a ski patroller and also have the opportunity to sign up to become a member. The patrol is hoping to get up to 40 to 50 new recruits, said Mr. Legere. He has been with the Canadian Ski Patrol for 15 years. All patrollers must pass a first aid and paramedical training course both in-classroom and in simulated accident situations on slopes and trails. And because members of the patrol are recognized by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), it can be another valuable quality for present and future employers, Mr. Legere said.

August is a berry good month Durham youth crashes into dealership DURHAM — A 17-year old Whitby youth is charged with careless driving after police say he caused $5,000 in damages at a BMW dealership. Police say the youth was driving west on Champlain Court in Whitby at 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning and didn’t realize that the road ends at the car dealership. When the road suddenly ended, the youth applied his brakes and attempted to turn right, police say. The youth told police he was driving at a speed of 70 km/hr when he ran off the road and onto the grass. Police say the car proceeded to hop a curb, hit a street lamp and eventually bumped into a BMW car parked at the dealership. The red Chevrolet Lumina the youth was driving was towed from the scene. Police say the roads were dry and weather clear. Alcohol was not a factor in the acci- dent. The youth currently holds a G1 class driver’s licence, which states that he must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver who has at least four years of driving experience and that he should refrain from driving between midnight and 5 a.m. According to the Ministry of Trans- portation, a careless driving charge car- ries with it six demerit points. A G1 driver with six points may be required to attend an interview and give reasons why the licence should not be suspend- ed, the ministry says. DURHAM — Durham Region has two varieties of blueber- ries that give excellent eating experiences says Jim Johnston of Country Market Garden Centre in Hampton. “Blueberries taste best when they are stored in the fridge after purchase but are given time to warm to room tempera- ture before serving,” says Johnston. The little berries are packed with Vitamin C and con- tain enough nutrients that consuming one-half cup is the equivalent to one serving of fruits and vegetables, according to Canada’s Food Guide. Along with the Country Market Garden Centre, fresh picked blueberries can be purchased at Westney Taunton Orchard in Ajax, Lilac-Boychyn Farm in Whitby, and local farm markets throughout the region. The berries can also be found at any of the six large Farmers markets in the Region. If picking your own is more your style, Wilmot Orchards in Newcastle offers the chance to pick the blueberries fresh from the fields. Blueberries will be fresh in Durham Region until the end of August. For more information on what’s fresh in Durham Region, or where to find it, visit www.durhamfarmfresh.ca. A highly regarded and successful clinic for the treatment of neuromuscular complaints, ZyGenix Health Group is continuing to help people in pain all around the Greater Toronto Area. Across Canada these integrative treatment facilities are attaining results from their multidisciplinary approach where others have failed. The success rate is unbelievably high in these clinics, and many individuals have even avoided invasive surgeries and many are living a better quality of life. The degree of muscular relaxation, increased joint mobility, and overall pain relief is outstanding. Case studies and treatments were initially performed in India (New Delhi), Edmonton, Alberta, and then the Greater Toronto region with remarkable results. In the GTA, clinics are now located in Mississauga, North York, and Scarborough, with a brand new location being set up in Oakville because demand is has been so high. All you need to do is call and ask if your condition can be treated. The concept of “Zy”, or Intracare (intermeshing) of health services is the main premise of Zygenix Health Groups. This approach is centered around the fact that our body relies on multiple systems to work properly to avoid and recover from illness. The goal is to pinpoint the source of the patient’s condition through Zygenix’ thorough testing, and to determine the optimal treatment protocol for the patient so that the person can recover quickly and naturally through the treatments. For both minor conditions, and more severe conditions, the goal is also to correct the problem, rather than temporarily relieving the pain. Zygenix Health Groups employs a “team of doctors” approach. This allows different treatments to complement each other for maximal result. The clinics have a number of beneficial effects that no other clinics provide. They use a unique combination of manual treatments resulting in relaxed muscles, improved nerve function, increased mobility, and reduced pain. ZyGenix Health Group practitioners treat chronic conditions of the nerve, muscle, bone, joint, and tissues. These treatments, combined with strengthening and conditioning, cervical traction systems, precision-point therapy, and technologically advanced laser therapy and other high-tech modalities, gives the patient maximum pain relief and provides the patient with a long term answer for their chronic pain conditions. CHRONIC PAIN: How do we treat it? Pa tients suffering from chronic pain conditions often have seen many doctors, practitioners, and have undergone many different therapies. They suffer from physical pain, and they also have a chemical and psychological component to their pain, which are often neglected or overlooked by other facilities. ZyGenix treatment centers deal with the physical aspects of the nerve, muscle, bone, joint, and tissue as well as the nutritional and psychological components to chronic pain conditions. PHYSICAL: Nerve, Muscle, Bone, Joint, and Tissue conditions. CHEMICAL: The chemistry of the body changes with inflammation and pain. Chronic conditions are often associated with metabolic changes such as obesity and malnutrition. PSYCHOLOGICAL: Chronic pain alters your cognition (thinking) leading to irritability and moodiness, depression, anxiety, stress and other psychological conditions which can have an impact on your family and social spheres. This will further aggravate your condition of pain. Each treatment plan is individualized and builds on the last and after a series of treatment, a long lasting relief of symptoms is noted as treatment is centered on correcting the root cause of the problem. The nutritional and psychological components allow for a more complete care. Pa tients find that following a treatment they have less stress, feel more relaxed and have a sense of well-being due to the fact there is a release of natural opiates called endorphins, which are elevated significantly during a treatment. ZyGenix Health Group is one of the first treatment systems to provide fully integrative care in Western Canada; integrating common used Eastern and We stern treatments systems. Specific conditions are treated from an Eastern and Western perspective with specific groups of muscles in combination with a nutritional assessment that correlates all aspects of health. These treatments give the patient maximum pain relief and provide the patient with a long term solution for their pain, because of the individualized treatment system provided by Zygenix’ based on their clinical findings. When you should call us? Pain relief and restoration of functioning are attained for such conditions as: neck pain, upper and low back pain, headaches (migraines), carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, thoracic outlet syndrome, (numbness and tingling of the arm and hand), tendonitis (tennis and golfers elbow), plantar fascitis (pain at the bottom of the foot), sports injuries, whiplash, TMJ, asthma, sciatica (pain and tingling to the buttock and leg), arthritis, torticollis (wry neck), sprain and strain injuries as well as the soft tissue component of almost any condition involving the nerve, bone, joint, muscle, or tissue. Many patients deemed as potential surgical candidates have avoided or prolonged the need for surgery with the “Zy” approach. The reality is that most people wait too long and the problems keep getting worse leading to increased suffering.

Police say a witness ob- served two men running southbound from Glen Stewart Park shortly before 1:30 a.m. The witness told police that the two men were laughing as they fled the scene. A pile of garbage was left burning in the Cabot Street park and a small, plastic fuel can was found nearby. Police say the fuel can was used to ignite the garbage, which had to be extin- guished by the fire depart- ment.

Suspect in Oshawa convenience store robberies nabbed in park by police Syringe, bottle used in incidents DURHAM — Police have arrested an Oshawa man in connection with two sepa- rate commercial robberies in which a broken bottle and a syringe were used. Durham Regional Po- lice say the first took place shortly before 6 p.m. on Aug. 17 at a Hasty Market Variety Store on Simcoe Street in Oshawa. The 18-year-old female clerk told police a man armed with a syringe had entered the store and de- manded cash. She said that he threat- ened to stab her with the sy- ringe and give her the AIDS virus if she didn’t comply, police say. The clerk opened the register and the suspect helped himself to cash be- fore fleeing the store. At approximately 12:30 a.m., police say a man armed with a broken bottle walked into a Mac’s Milk on King Street in Oshawa and threatened the 49-year-old clerk. He helped himself to cash before fleeing. Officers searched the area and located a man match- ing the suspect’s descrip- tion shortly before 3 a.m. Police took the man into custody without incident. Larry Dean Noyes, a 44- year-old from Pondtail Court in Oshawa, is charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of weapons dangerous. He is being held for a bail hearing. DURHAM — A 27-year-old man was arrested Friday night after police say he stabbed a man with scissors during a confrontation in Oshawa. Shortly after 6 p.m. on Aug. 18 officers were called to a King Street East address where a 24-year-old man was suffer- ing from a stab wound to his back. The victim reported he was walking north- bound on Celina Street when he heard someone run up behind him. He then felt a sharp pain in his back.

Created by CMS Web Solutions in Port Perry, with technical support pro- vided by Three Wise Men, located in Whitby, the new website “helps graphi- cally portray the important contribu- tions that all our sites play in providing quality care” to patients, said Marion Saunders, chairwoman of the Lak- eridge Health Board of Trustees. In addition to public opinion polls and surveys, the site also offers a con- sumer health database entitled Learn More About Your Health to help Dur- ham residents access information about illnesses and other health-re- lated topics. “The website’s new look and feel not only highlights the hospital network, but also allows the public opportuni- ties to provide feedback through en- hanced features such as a web poll located on the homepage, and (a) We Care What You Think survey found under Patient-Visitor Information,” said Brian Lemon, CEO of Lakeridge Health. “Other features include video clips and e-mail broadcasts.” The website will continue to provide information for patients and visitors about Lakeridge Health hospital pro- grams and services, foundations and events. The new website has also cre- ated a partnership with the Clarington, Oshawa and Whitby Public Library sys- tem to provide consumer health data- bases to the public. Susan Hendricks, manager of Li- brary and Media Services at Lakeridge Health, said the project formalizes and extends the co-operative sharing of re- sources that have taken place among libraries in Durham Region for many years. “In times of increased integration of services, it makes sense for us to broaden the ways we provide top- quality information to our patients and families,” she said. Sarah Gentles, co-ordinator of Adult Services at Clarington Public Library, said the library was looking forward to having a closer working relationship with Lakeridge Health. “Clarington Public Library is very excited about our partnership with Lakeridge Health, which will provide residents of our community with quick, convenient access to reliable health in- formation,” Ms. Gentles said.

Thirteen years ago, after moving to Pickering, Davis looked to rekin- dle his love of baseball. A slo-pitch player for years, he asked his wife, Debra, to sign him up for a slo-pitch league in the city. She registered him, but it wasn’t for slo-pitch. It was for fastball -- the Pickering Recreational Fastball As- sociation, to be exact. The only trouble was he had never played the game. “For the first half year, I didn’t touch the ball. I didn’t foul off a pitch,” Davis recalls, with a laugh, his initiation to fastball. “The beauty of this league is the coaches would take the time to teach you the game. As long as you were willing to listen, they would teach you how to play.” The 44-year-old vice-president/ general manager of a distribution and fulfilment centre in Pickering has semi-retired from active playing after 13 seasons, with injuries forc- ing him to serve as third-base coach for the DD4U squad this season. The Pickering Recreational Fast- ball Association is in its 27th season of providing the sport (windmill un- derhand pitching is used) for men and women ages 17 and older, boast- ing nine men’s and seven women’s teams, with Dunmoore and Hydro parks in Pickering the home fields for league play each summer. Davis, the association’s presi- dent for the past five years, says the league’s all about fun and remaining recreational in its scope. “It’s to the point where every- one has fun playing,” he explains. “But, men are men and women are women and everyone likes to win, but it’s not a win-at-all-cost league... We’re careful not to lose the recre- ational aspect of the league. If it’s fully competitive, that’s when you run into trouble.” Currently, says Davis, the league has a nice mix of new and older players, and a player draft before each season keeps a competitive balance among the teams. With so many players having stayed with the association over the years, there are now fathers and sons playing to- gether. One such father-son tandem is Pat Van de Bospoort, a pitcher/out- fielder with the Knights Corner 1, who’s been joined by his son Kyle, a defenceman with the Ontario Hock- ey League’s Barrie Colts. Ironically, Ky le is also a pitcher/outfielder. “It’s been great. I love it,” says Van de Bospoort, a 21-year league veter- an, of having his son on the team. “It’s been wonderful to see him excel in fastball, because he hasn’t played in a while. He played in Pickering and Oshawa when he was 12 and 13, but there wasn’t any ball he wanted to play so, when he became 17, I asked him if he wanted to come out and he jumped at the chance.” Va n de Bospoort says it’s great for his son to play a sport that’s strictly for fun. “It’s great for him. He plays hockey at such a high level... so it’s nice in the sum- mer for him to enjoy a sport like this -- just having fun.” The league, Davis recalls, wasn’t always on a firm foot- ing. When he took over as president five years ago, the Pickering Rec- reational Fastball Association ap- peared to be down to its final strike. “The league was teetering on the brink of extinction,” he remembers. “It was on life supports. Like any- thing, things get stale if left the same. There was very little youth in the league and if you don’t have a steady influx of new play- ers, you’ll disappear and that was what was happening.” Down to only six men’s and four women’s teams, changes were needed. With the help of a dedicated execu- tive, Davis led the charge to breathe new life back into an ailing patient with a fresh ap- proach. “As big as base- ball is, you can’t change the way the game is played. The game is the game,” he explains. “Our angle was presenta- tion.” Part of the plan was to groom and line the fields before each game. “It makes it look professional. It helps the umpires and helps the players.” Next, the executive opted to spice up the annual season-ending ban- quet each October that had also fallen on hard times, with only 36 attending five years ago. The banquet is now the highlight of the sea- son, drawing crowds in excess of 300 and, in re- cent years, a golf tournament was added to make it the total package for the players. The banquet’s “what people re- member at the end of the year. That’s our calling card for this league,” says Davis, adding the executive mem- bers all put plenty of organization into it to ensure it’s a special night. A slide show of photographs taken during the season are shown at the banquet to great hilarity, says Davis. “We blow up seven or eight pho- tos into poster size and, if they’re in the picture, they take them home,” he says. In addition, a year ago, the league instituted an all-star game for the men’s team. And, on Saturday, a women’s all-star game was also added to the festivities that also in- clude raffles and a barbecue and is well-attended with more than 300 taking in last year’s game. “You can’t change the rules of the sport and how it’s played, but we can make sure the appear- ance and the window dressing are there. It ex- cites the players to come back year after year. A muffin’s only a muffin until you decorate it,” says Davis.

And, the new rules that re- strict the clutching and grabbing with a crackdown on interfer- ence, hooking and holding were called with vigour by game offi- cial Paul Renaud in the pre-sea- son opener that ended in a 3-3 draw at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Down 3-1 early in the third period, the Panthers rebound- ed with two consecutive goals to knot the score at 3-3. The equalizer came with the Pan- thers owning a two-man ad- vantage, with defenceman Zack Fenwick’s blast finding room be- hind Cobourg netminder Dan Clarke. The two teams played their second exhibition game of the season in Cobourg Friday night, with the result unavailable at press time. Panthers’ head coach John Winder notes his charges strug- gled with the new obstruction rules in Thursday’s game, but he’s confident they’ll adapt as the exhibition season wears on. “They haven’t had a refresher course on the new rules. They called it tight and showed what was going to happen this year. The learning curve for some of the players is going to be great. Some guys play clutch-and-grab hockey and they’re going to have to adjust to stay in the game.” Cougars’ head coach Bill Brady, a former assistant with the Panthers, believes that Thursday’s game will be just the tip of the iceberg as to how far the league will go to curtail clutching and grabbing. “I think this was just the start,” says Brady. “I’m sure we’re going to see a lot more called. He was pretty lenient tonight. They’re going to be calling it pretty tight. The onus is on the players to eliminate the use of the stick.” Although the Panthers were missing eight veterans in the pre-season debut, Winder was pleased with the tempo of the game and the ability of his play- ers to rise to the occasion in the early going. “I thought, as the game wore on, they got used to the pace and to each other,” he says, adding that veteran Scott Brown, one of only four in the line up (Fenwick, To dd Hosmer and Brett Connol- ly were the others), stood out for his play. Brown was acquired in a trade with the Stouffville Spirit last week with Josh Domingues going the other way. Winder also had praise for returning defenceman Fenwick, who’s headed for the Ontario Hockey League’s Kingston Fron- tenac’s camp next week, as well as rookie Jesse Hebscher on the blue line. Mike Mandel and Connolly also scored for the Panthers. Dennis Zak, Nick Walsh and David Mathers replied for the Cougars.

Psalm 138:18 Lorraine Sadie Owttrim (nee Halal), born in Toronto, November 28, 1929, passed peacefully into Gods loving arms at Lakeview Manor in Beaverton on Wednesday, August 23, after a coura- geous battle with ALS. Known to life- long friends as Hala- Lorraine enjoyed knitting but especially loved her Satur- day morning garage sale adventures fol- lowed by lunch out with friends, always returning with treasures for everyone. Lorraine was a loving and supportive wife to Bruce for over 55 years who will dearly miss her companionship, Mom to Louise, Bruce, and Ron; mom-in-law to John, Patricia, Leslie, and Bev; gramma to Jennifer, Katelyn, Nicole, Colin, Greg, Connor, Cullen, Theresa, and Rob, big gramma to Tyler, sister to Greta, Ron, and Bud; and sister-in-love to Mary and Doreen as well as many in the Owttrim clan, aunt and great-aunt- she leaves a special place in the hearts of each of us who love her. Following cremation, visitation (2:00 p.m.) and a memorial service (3:00 p.m.) followed by a reception will be held to celebrate her life at JERRETT FUNERAL HOME,660 Kennedy Road, Scarborough, on Friday September 1. Casual attire and a time to share great memories were her only requests. Dona- tions in lieu of flowers can be made to the ALS Society or the Lakeview Manor Residents' Council, 133 Main Street, Beaverton. The family holds a special place in their hearts for all of mom's caregivers at Lakeview Manor too numerous to men- tion, but each has our respect and eter- nal gratitude. SMOOTHY, Olive Frances (Windrim)- Olive passed peacefully into her heavenly home on Au- gust 25, 2006 at Peterborough Manor. Born June 5, 1912, she has now rejoined her husband Tom. She is survived by her daughters, Elaine Palmer (Brian) of Whitby and Dianne Pammett (Bob) of Bridgenorth. Cherished and proud grandmother of Aimie Rout (Tim) of Kapuskasing, Rebecca Palmer of Kingston, Tom Palmer of Whitby, Jennifer Pam- mett of Toronto and Robert Pammett of Saskatoon, SK. Also survived by her sister Muriel Morden of Lindsay. Predeceased by her brother Percy Win- drim, and sisters Ruby Windrim, Verna Patillo and Mayme Windrim. Olive was a Christian believer who was active in the work at Murray St. Baptist Church as long as her health permitted. She will be remembered for her hospitality, her gardens at their home on River Road South, sewing, quilting, upholstery, furniture refinishing and building grand- father clocks with her husband Tom. Visitation will be held at the COMSTOCK FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE,356 Rubidge Street, Pe- terborough, from 7-9 pm Tuesday and one hour prior to the service on Wednesday. Funeral Ser- vice will be held in the chapel on Wednesday, Au- gust 30th at 3:00 pm. The Reverend Tim Rout and Reverend Evelyn Moore will officiate. Interment Highland Park Cemetery.

RENOCanada™ (a new concept in home improvement) has evolved from one of Toronto’s best known plumbing busi- nesses -- The Plumbing Mart. They have updated and changed their identity to better represent their expertise and focus on quality home improvements. Specializing in Bathroom and Kitchen Makeovers, RENOCanada™ is a single source for homeowners who want to improve the quality of their life at home....without moving. Their unique range of services and experience makes renovation easy, practical and affordable. The new Inspiration Centres, currently being developed, will provide an exciting and educational environment that helps homeowners to visualize and plan their dreams. What has not changed is the com- pany’s commitment to great service and industry setting standards, like their fi ve year warranty backed by the most experi- enced renovation consultants and craftsmen in the business. For thousands of local area homeowners, it has always been the people and personal attention that set this company apart from other renovators. RENOCanada’s staff understand reno- vation from the customer’s perspective.They know that home improvement is not about the house, it’s about self improvement (Life- style), it’s personal. The company describes their primary customers as “discerning” homeowners. These are people that don’t necessarily have big budgets but who feel that Bathrooms and Kitchens need to be exciting regardless of budget. They have higher expectations; demanding seamless service from inspira- tion to installation and an overall experience that is hassle-free, educational and reward- ing. Discerning customers don’t want to be sold anything but want someone to act as an “editor” helping them to make choices that are right for them. They need to feel “in con- trol” and want a service provider that will empower them to get satisfaction. The showroom is only 15 minutes from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It’s a short drive west on Hwy 401, south on Mc- Cowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major intersections to Midland and then just one block north on the west side.

Jessica Ward, Danielle Gomba, Kaleigh Heard and Allison Foster represented the club at the 2006 Essais Pan Pacific Trials. Senior swimmer Ward, 17, put forth the best swim by a Pickering athlete, finishing ninth in the 200-metre breaststroke. Ward also placed 17th in the 100m breast. Heard, 15, smashed four club records at the trials. She estab- lished a new standard in the girls’ 15-16 800m freestyle with a mark of 9:16.02, bettering the previous record of 9:40.77 set in 2003 by Erin Gordon. Heard also eclipsed the old club mark in the girls’ 15-16 400m free of 4:41.66, also owned by Gordon, with a new record of 4:27.90. Heard broke another of Gor- don’s record, this time in the girls’ 15-16 200m free. The new mark of 2:08.07 bested Gordon’s two-year-old mark of 2:14.63. Finally, Heard set a new club record in the girls’ 15-16 100m free of 59.65, bettering Ward’s one-year-old mark of 1:01.68. Heard broke the other club re- cord in the girls’ 13-14 800m free. Ironically, it was a record previ- ously held by Heard that was set earlier this year. The new record of 9:21.77 just beat the previous one of 9:21.93. Pickering Swim Club athletes record breakers at Montreal competition PICKERING — A Durham Region rival prevented the Pickering Strik- ers boys’ under-10 rep soccer team from reaping gold at the recent Ot- tawa Soccer Tournament. Meeting Oshawa Turul in the gold-medal final, the Strikers had to settle for silver after the Osha- wans pulled out a 2-1 victory, scor- ing on one of two penalty kicks awarded to them during the second half. Pickering goalkeeper Matthew Mulgrew saved the first penalty kick, but a long rebound after a save on the second penalty kick ended up in the net. Oshawa and Pickering played to a 1-1 tie at the end of the first half. Yu suf Hirji sent the ball through for a couple of attacks but the luck was not on the Strikers’ side. Owen Edgar was Pickering’s most valuable player, as voted on by the Tur ul team. Edgar set up the goal- scoring opportunities in the final and his consistent hard work was well recognized. Marco Roccosalva was voted the best sportsmanship on the team. Again, a well-picked award winner as Roccosalva had a fantastic tournament in the net and on the field as a midfielder. In Game 1 against Rockford, Pick- ering’s Tristan De Cunha popped two goals with Owen Edgar and An- drea Cicciarella helping the score along for a 4-2 victory. In the second match, against Goulbourne, Que., Justin Yeung scored twice, with Edgar and Cicci- arella finishing the scoring en route to a 4-1 win, despite a charge by a Goulbourne player into Pickering goalie Matthew Mulgrew, who en- dured despite a cleat run across his lower back. In Game 3 against the host Ot- tawa Royals, Joseph Romagnuolo was on fire laying a hat trick into the net in the first half. De Cunha, Edgar and Cicciarella also scored as they sent a couple of more past the Roy- als’ goalie. The Royals never gave up coming back hard with two goals in the second half for a 9-2 final. In a nail-biting match, the Strik- ers were defeated 5-2 by Oshawa Tur ul, despite some outstanding de- fending by Evan Sankovic, Michael Zara and Jonathan Phills, along with Hirji. Roccosalva was outstanding on the field and in the net as he placed a beautiful goal off his left foot past the Turul’s keeper in the first half and then jumped into the net for the second half, diving and tipping a few close shots. Mulgrew had held the net the first half and while he, too, had made some great shots the score was tied at half time. In the second half, Edgar scored on a penalty but Turul came through the defence with some quick plays and the score was tipped in their favour.

To prevent your teen from being faced with this type of surprise, prepare an emergency kit which can be very useful, should it occur. The elements of the emer- gency kit can be placed in a canvas bag that the teen can keep in a school locker, or even leave in a backpack so it’s always on hand. If your teen doesn’t have a cell phone, put several quarters or a calling card in the kit, to make sure that he or she won’t be caught unable to make a call. To prevent unexpected bad breath, add several breath-freshening mints. It may also be helpful to include a toothbrush and a travel-size tube of toothpaste in the kit, especially for those who eat at school. Nail clippers and a nail fi le may be useful. In case of an embarassing rip, a teen will be happy to fi nd several safety pins in the kit. So that the hairstyle is always perfect, add a comb or small brush, with travel-size gel or hairspray. Put a travel-size deodorant at the bottom of the kit, he or she will be happy to have it at hand when needed. Small injuries can ruin a day at school in no time. Think about putting in some acet- aminophen for headaches, bandages for abrasions and a tube of ointment to hide pimples. Don’t forget a mirror, the best friend of teens who want to look good. If your teen is a girl, add a few tampons or pads, as well as cleansing cloths to remove make-up.
