That was the message Stephen Frederick, president of Voters Or- ganized to Stop the Airport Lands (VOCAL), brought to the group's members at a meeting in Clare- mont Wednesday night. About 100 people attended to hear the latest on the issue from Mr. Frederick and Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs. **Nke thank you for your sup- port.- Mr. Frederick told them. "but we're only halfway there." He explained the "public por- tion" of the fight is over for the time being and the action is mov- ing into the political arena — the stakeholders' forum of govern- ment and community representa- tives, being established by the Town of Pickering to discuss the future of the 18.500 acres expro- priated by the federal government for an airport in 1972.

However, Mr. Frederick noted the public campaign may need to resume if the forum doesn't ap- pear to be making any progress in finding an alternative to the desig- nation of the lands for airport use which was announced by Ottawa this past summer. "At some point in time we may have to make people aware this issue is not going to go away and neither are we:" Mr. Frederick added there are activities at the federal, provincial and regional levels that suggest there may still be considerable momentum out there for construc- tion of an airport. He cited as ex- amples the extensions of Hwy. 407 to Brock Road, terms of refer- ence for a west Durham water pro- ject which include provisions to supply water to an airport in Pick- ering and plans for a 'Metro East Parkway' that could service an air- port.

Using the moniker 'Smurf,' the 21 -year-old woman is alleged to have trolled the Net meeting numerous young girls in cyber- space chat rooms. "This is definitely a strange case. I can't ever recall investi- gating a similar case involving a woman;" said Detective Jim Douglass of the Durham Region- al Police sexual assault unit. Police said friends of the 12 - year -old met the suspect on the Net in December and the girl then spoke to the suspect on the telephone for the first time a short time later. On Jan. 8, the pair met at the girl's parents' residence in Ajax where it is alleged the 12 -year- old was sexually assaulted.

Douglass said. The girl believed the w6man was a teenage boy throughout the period. "She believed it was a (boy) who sexually assaulted her. She had no idea. No one knew. Not even her friends," Det. Douglass said. Police launched an investigation following a complaint by the girl's parents. On Thursday the suspect was arrested at her Toronto apartment. A number of sexual props, video- tapes and a laptop computer were seined from the residence, police said. Det. Douglass said the suspect "lives her life as a male:" using a male alias and wearing men's clothes. Sergeant Jim Grimley said the sus- pect is "known to police." The police department took the unusual step of releasing the sus- pect's photograph to the public in the belief there may he more girls who were "unknowingly involved with this woman," Sgt. Grimley said. Kelly Ann Laird, aka Kelly An- drew Slator, is charged with two counts of sexual interference and one count of sexual assault.

At the request of Crown and de- fence counsel, Ms. Laird was re- manded in custody to the Whitby Mental Health Centre. Ms. Laird was ordered by a justice of the peace to undergo a 30 -day psy- chiatric assessment to determine whether she is criminally responsible and mentally tit to stand trial. She re- turns to court Feb. 19. During the court appearance Crown attorney Lisa Cameron out- lined details of the case and back- ground of the suspect, which cannot be reported because of a publication ban. The case is the third in recent months involving a young girl al- legedly sexually assaulted by a per- son she met on the Internet, and prompted police to issue yet another warning to parents with computers. "Adults have to do their best to monitor who their children are com- municating with on the Internet. It is just impossible to know what kind of petson they are talking with;" Det. Douglass cautioned. For parents who want to restrict children using the Net, a Durham Re- gional Police website (www.police.durham.on.ca) now has instant hot -links to "parental control" software providers. Sgt. Grimley said. The software can assist in restrict- ing access to web sites with topics ranging from child pornography, hate groups, bomb -making, suicide and the occult. Anyone with information about Ms. Laird is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 436 -TIPS or police at 579-1520, ext. 5371. Pickering group's compromise on airport plan was necessary: VOCAL land that will benefit both the local community and the region, in order to help bring cyervone on side. There was some criticism from those who attended the meeting of VOCAL's decision to back away from outright opposition to any airport in Pickering to objection to the federal designation. "Why do we not just take a position where we don't want an airport, peri- od?" asked Charles Dolman of Green- wood. Mr. Dolman suggested the VOCAL executive never received a mandate from the membership to take a com- promise position. Mr. Frederick said the compromise was an important strategic manoeuvre that enabled VOCAL to obtain the support of all area municipalities against designation, and designation would be a necessary step to any air- port being ever built. "Just saying 'no', we wouldn't have got to where we are today." He suggested putting off the desig- nation buys time for opponents to con- vince governments an airport isn't needed and get everybody out of the mindset that one will be built. It also provides the opportunity for changes, such as new technology, which may eliminate the need for a new airport in the GTA in 40 to 50 years, when it's currently estimated other GTA airports will have reached their maximum ca- pacity. Ward 3 local Councillor David Pickles spoke in support of VOCAL's compromise even though he noted most of the community is opposed to any airport hers: ever. "It's very important to stick to the STEPHEN FREDERICK 'This issue is not going to go away and neither are we.' task at hand," said Coun. Pickles. Mayor Arthurs stated VOCAL played a crucial role in helping the Town fight against the federal airport plan. "Without the support orthe com- munity, without the initiative of the community, we wouldn't be where we are today," he said. "It gave us the leverage we needed." The mayor expects the stakehold- ers' forum to meet in mid-February, and said it will likely include represen- tatives of Ajax, Pickering, Uxbridge, Whitchurch-Stouffvilie, Markham, Durham Region, the Province and Transport Canada. York Region will also be invited to participate, though it hasn't joined the municipalities oppos- DAVID PICKLES 'It's very important to stick to the task at hand.' ing the designation. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority is appar- ently not getting an invitation. Mayor Arthurs said he hopes to achieve cancellation of the designa- tion, which will require agreement among area municipalities on develop- ment controls to prevent construction of buildings or facilities in the area which would be incompatible with an airport. He's also hoping for some kind of agreement on the long-term use of the portion of the lands which would not be needed for an airport, all but about 5,000 acres. "We want some sense of security for the next 50 years in this process," said the mayor. • RE:EIM TOM tetulTlmAT ' PARTIKS EMT. • 100FT UP LME, 30rT MON , CLI MaMC WALL, WCE IOMPMC CASTLE, TOC O WAR &I MOCK MORE...

At the inaugural meeting of the GTSB Friday in Richmond Hill, Mr. Tonks received almost 73 per cent of the votes to defeat Lou Parsons, a former Peel Re- gion Chairman and head of GO Transit. Seven of nine Durham politicians voted for Mr. Tonks, with only Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish casting ballots for Mr. Par- sons. Under the weighted vot- ing system used at the ser- vices board, Mr. Tonks re- ceived 86 votes and Mr. Parsons 32. Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said he voted for Mr. Tonks be- cause "he listened to Durham over the last cou- ple of months regarding our concerns about the rural presence. Obviously, most MBERLEA :Most of Durham Region's politicians supported winner mayors feel comfortable working with Alan" Mr. Tonks was nominat- ed for the position by Hamilton -Wentworth Re- gion Chairman Terry Cooke, with Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre sec- onding the nomination. Mayor Hamre said Mr. Tonks is "able to bring peo- ple together. "There's a concern with the 905 and 416: we need someone to bring us togeth- er, otherwise we won't be able to achieve good results on behalf of our residents." In his inaugural address, Mr. Tonks said the most im- portant challenge facing the GTSB is "to build the bridges of GTA citizenship, not only around this table, but also with our public and private -sector stakeholders across the GTA. We are much more than a couple of telephone area codes. We are a community" The GTA will grow by 6,000 people in January alone, he noted.

'CRTC linkage rules apply Mistake at Pickering nuclear station to -cost Hydro million's Improperly closed valve identified as culprit BY MARIANNE, TAKACS Staff Writer PICKERING — An im- properly closed valve at the Pickering nuclear station is going to end up costing Ontario Hydro about $16 million. The valve was supposed to be shut by station staff doing work on the Unit 6 reactor, which was shut down for maintenance when the problem started on Dec. 16. It became clear a few days later the valve hadn't been closed tightly enough, as ordinary 'light' water was scoping into the radioactive 'heavy' moderator water that supports the fission process in a nuclear reactor. Because the moderator had been contaminated• explains sta- tion spokesman Pat O'Brien. the scheduled start-up of Unit 6 had to he delayed about one month and is now supposed to take place Jan. 29. In the meantime, Hydro is having to purchase power from other sources. "in terms of replacement Power we have to buy about S 15 million worth of electricity that we normally would have pro- duced ourselves;' says Mr. O'Brien. As well, Hydro has had to replace the heavy water in Unit 6 at a cost of about $ I mil- lion. Though it was station staff that actually closed the valve im- properly, he notes Hydro is "not putting blame on individual~'. Hydro's investigation of the inci- dent revealed station policies and procedures that were supposed to provide instructions for how the work should be done weren't adequate. "It's an example of where we have to improve:" says Mr. O'Brien. "It's a hard lesson learned. It's an expensive les- son. Because of the problem and delay at Unit 6, Hydro has had to postpone the shutdown of its Unit 5 reactor for a scheduled maintenance outage by two weeks.

But, since the police services board wasn't to receive the force's budget request until the day after the Council meeting, politicians had to set the force's spending target increase at eight per cent based "on what we do know", finance com- missioner Jim Clapp reported. However, finance committee chairman and Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson predicted the department will likely ask for a larger in- crease through a budget in which there'll "proba- bly be submissions for new officers" and "the normal administrative increases they try to put through". Some councillors argued the police force should be restricted to a 2.5 -per cent budget in- crease like other Region departments while others contended the force should be treated differently because of the service it provides. "Everybody gets 2.5 per cent. Why not the po- lice?" Ajax Councillor Scott Crawford asked Coun. Nicholson. "Is it your policy to give in- creases to the department carrying handguns and not to others?" Coun. Crawford noted that if the police force is given an eight -per cent increase, the depart- ment will have received a 16 -per cent hike in its budget over the last two years. "Name one other Region or municipal depart- ment that got a 16 -per cent increase over two years." He said if the police services board gets an in- crease of eight per cent or more, other Region de- partments will have to trim their budgets to meet the overall 2.5 -per cent cap. But, police services board member and Uxbridge Mayor Gem Lynn O'Connor said the force needs more money to better protect the pub- lic. "We do not have enough officers. Our ratio (of officers to the public) is the lowest in the GTA" Coun. Nicholson agreed. "We should deter- mine what an appropriate police service is, fund it and increase it every year. (Added police pro- tection) is what the public wants" Meanwhile, Region officials are also fearful the Province might download more services and therefore more costs to taxpayers this year. "We haven't got the final numbers on '98 yet, so we can't predict the '99 numbers yet;" Coun. Nicholson said. Oshawa Councillor John Gray said the Province should be asked not to increase down- loading costs. "If we can (hold the budget line), the Province can. A lot of the items we don't control:" But, Ajax Councillor Jim McMaster dis- agreed. -I understand what Coun. Gray says. But I don't know how to tell the Province not to in- crease when we recommend a 2.5 -per cent in- crease. We can't tell them one thing and we do another."

"From the beginning I didn't think anything toward anybody involved in it. I think about it sometimes. Some- times, things remind me of it, like when I read about the Axemen in the newspaper. It's not something I dwell on. I believe everything happens for a reason," says the Ajax resident. The incident, which received widespread media attention, hap- pened in late December 1997 prior to a contest between the visiting Axe - men and the Cougars at the Cobourg Memorial Arena. A series of fights erupted in the warm-up prior to the OHA Provincial Junior `A' Hockey League contest which culminated in Quinn, a 6'1 ", 190 -pound veteran Al Rivett Sports Editor forward, lying on the ice with severe head injuries, including a skull frac- ture to the right, front part of his head and bruising on the brain. He was rushed to Kingston General Hospital and was later transferred to a Toronto hospital. In the aftermath of the inci- dent two Cobourg players were charged by Town of Cobottri police. A year removed from that cross- roads event in his life, Markus admits he's "quite a bit better", but in no way has his life returned to the relative normal that it was prior to the hockey incident. "A year and a month later and I still don't know what the long-term effects will be," notes Quinn, who turns 22 on Jan. 25. "I have a real problem with short-term memory and I have no sense of smeH any- more. I can't smell a damn thing." Moreover, he's more susceptible now to headaches. At least once every two to three weeks, he's bat- tered by a serious headache, which he says are directly related to his in- juries suffered in Cobourg. He tires faster now than he did before the in- cident. Last summer, he made several trips to a neuro -psychologist at Toronto Western Hospital where he received check-ups on his condition. However, he's still in the dark about his long-term prognosis. "It's still day -today for me;' he says. `°They can't decide until two years (after the incident) what the final situation will be.

He also keeps in contact with several players on the Axemen team now playing in the Southern Pro Hockey League. "I'm pretty sure I could be down there playing too, but you get used to it,,' he says. A visit to the neuro -psychologist in August will shed more light on his condition. Markus notes that there may be a chance he could return to playing contact hockey. "I'd have to have a serious look at the situation and. I would have to con- sider a lot of things," says Markus, who's in the process of setting up a hockey -related business in Whitby. "My first choice would be to play with my brother at York University. After one or two years there, I think I could still get a try -out somewhere."

C NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, January 24,1999 PAGE T A/P One for all and all for one? Consultants currently studying feasibility of Durham -wide fire department BY KEITH GIUJGAN Staff Writer You're awakened in the middle of the night by the smell of smoke. You call 911, get out of the house and wait for the firefighters to show up. Racing to your home with sirens blaring and lights flashing is the Durham Region Fire Department. The Durham Region Fire De- partment? Could it happen? Would it save money'? Would it provide better ser- vice'? A committee established by Re- gional Council last year is ponder- ing that possibility and contemplat- ing those questions. While the gov- ernance committee is in the very early stages of its work, it is looking into fire protection, roads and plan- ning to see how the services offered could be improved and their costs cut. Committee member Jim Mc- Master of Ajax reports the work is at a "very preliminary" stage so it's too early to predict the outcome as far as a regional fire department is con- cerned. 'To say we're looking at one thing is very, very premature;' Councillor McMaster says. A consulting firm has been re- tained to study the possibility of a regional fire department, but it could take up to two years to complete its work. "It won't be quicker than six months. That's why we decided, if we do it, Id's do two or three (ser- vices) and get it done quicker;' Coun. McMaster says. "There are SO things we could look at. We did- n't want to do the same thing as the Province and say 'Let's change everything at once'" `Fire doesn't tend to go from com■wnity to community. It's site specific.' — JIM MCMASTER The consultants will provide an overview in early February. Since being ekcted six years ago, Coun. McMaster says, he's "al- ways asked" why control of fire de- partments has remained at the local level, while dee police department is rq*mw- "!he only reason -I've eva come up with is police tend to go from community to community. If a crime spree hits, it hits the whole area. Firer doesn't tend to go from community to community. It's site spedfi„ While merging all of Durham's departments is one of the options to be considered, Coun. McMaster says, "I have no comment on that, because I have no information on Ow at all:' Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, also a member of the governance committee, is skeptical a regional fate department would be a money - saver. In fact, Coun. Arthurs fears, it Ajax councillor Jim McMaster says it's still too early to predict whether a Durham region fire de- partment will ever be developed but notes a study could cost money to upgrade fire department services that are defi- cient in some towns to the highest level of protection offered in Durham. "There are tremendous financial concerns. With a regionals level of fire service, you may see the service migrating to the highest level. There would be additional costs faced by municipalities not already achieving that level of service. With a single tier, there will be political pressure to have the same service" For example, Oshawa is the only community in Durham with a de- partment made up entirely of full- time firefighters. All other towns have 'composite' departments of full-timers supplemented by volun- teers or part-timers. Coun. Arthurs says, since the cost of a full-time department is "extremely high", Pickering doesn't have plans to move to a full-time firefighting service like Oshawa. "We can't afford the staff." But, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson thinks a regional fire de- partment o-pattment could provide cost effi- ciencies. "York Region completed a study and found they could save al- most $100 million, if I'm not mis- taken, over 10 years by amalgams- ing. The potential savings are great. Fortunately, (Durham) Region is now studying that. "That (Durham) study...if it says there are significant savings, we should look at it. Any- thing that shows significant savings, we should look at." Aside from the cost, there's also the question of whether a regional fire service would provide better RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo is currently under way: He questions ►.•hti; howev- er. Durham has a regional police service, for ex- ample, and so many individual fire departments. protection. Clarington Fire Chief Michael Creighton believes fire protection could improve with every depart- ment operating out of one central fa- cility. "Everybody working together to cover the whole region could func- tion well;' he says. For example, bringing firefighters from through- out Durham together under one roof for something such as training "has got to have benefits. "Some feel each municipality has its own ownership. Look at it frau a broader point of view — pro- viding better service. If done prop- erly, I think it could be done'" But, that view is not shared by Oshawa Fire Chief Milt Wilson. "Durham Region is so big, the fire halls would be so spread out. It's debatable it would be a budget -sav- ing item or the service would im- prove. It's hard to answer without the studies being done.' Coun. Ardwn also wonders if a regional department wmW provide better service. "You won't be find- ing efficiencies through fewer sta- tions. We need the stations we have" Rather than one big regional fire service, Coun. Arthurs supports the merging of municipal departments, such as in Ajax and Pickering. The mayor is also an advocate of amal- gamating the two communities. "It's more logical to look at the service areas for fire protection that currently exist as defined by the cur- rent municipal boundaries. Picker- ing and Ajax are more logical boundaries. Efficiencies you'll find in a more logical fashion by visiting service areas" Coun. Arthur% envisions one fire department serving west Durham and one for east Durham with the Ajax -Whitby border at Regional Road 23 (Lakeridge Road) as a "logical and natural divider of boundaries and service areas". There would be `Increased costs to the taxpayer to migrate to -the highest level. The efficiencies aren't 77177 � WAYNE ARTHURS While Ajax politicians don't support his idea of amalgamaung with Pickering, they are willing to look at ways of providing services more cheaply. For instance, Ajax and Pickering are studying the joint purchase of a S1 -million aerial lad- der truck and the two communities, along with Whitby, are investigating a joint dispatch centre. Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson says, "We meed to replace the aerial truck. Pickering does also. Does it make sense to split it? We're work- ing now to evaluate that. It probably doesn't make sense that everybody gets one for the amount of use it gets. But, we have to have one" Chief Wilson says among the is- sues that need to be worked out are "ownership, availability, where to park it. What if we need it and our neighbour needs it? We're doing that now.- But, ow"But, as for a dispatch centre heing shared by Pickering, Ajax and Whithy, he feels, "it doesn't make �cnse we all (build our own) and we pnihahly won't" \Vhilc Clarington Chief Creighton says amalgamating all !'i r,,: dispatch into one location would ncrease the workload, "it could 'unction properly" Whithy Fire Chief Tony Van- f)(,le«cerd points out a mutual aid :_rcement among area fire depart - hits been in place for 30 _:cr,,. When one fire department _-(:ds help. it can call on a neigh- ,urmg department for aid. Fire departments came up with •hc mutual aid agreement long be - :,)re politicians began l(x)king at shared services and government structures. Chief VanDoleweerd notes. "We share and support each other without being told to do it" There are "t%Qo schools of thought" on a regional fire depart- ment, Chief VanDoleweerd says. -17here are those that say bigger is not better" On the otter hand, service levels would increase if fire protection be- came a regional responsibility. he says. "The trend is to improve ser- vice to a certain level, to increase service to a level." But. Coun. Arthurs cautions there would he "increase costs to the taxpayer to migrate to the high- est level. The efficiencies aren't there ' The York Region study complet- ed in April, 1997 recommended -set- ting t - ting up two departments, one for the rural areas and one for the urban areas- But. Markham Fire Chief Tony Mintoff (formerly the Ajax fire chief) says "not a whole lot' has been done to implement the recom- mendations. Chief Mintoff is a supporter of regional fire departments. "I support it philosophically. Most municipali- ties, other than the larger ones in the province, don't have the resources or staff to equip for the worst-case scenarios. There would be better sharing of resources. I support a ser- vice that's more fluid, with the same training, the same operating proce- dures and the same communica- tions." While he says mutual aid is "a good system", Chief Mintoff points out if one municipality needs help, the responding department will be on a different radio frequency when its crews arrive. "Ihey have different apparatus, different training and different oper- ating procedures. They can manage at the same place, but functionality can be a problem" While York politicians haven't moved on a regional department, they have gone forward with consol- idating dispatch centres, he reports. The four dispatch centres serving nine communities in York would be merged into one, says Chief Mintoff. "It's not unlike Durham, with the larger municipalities doing it for the smaller."

It's a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. "The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a Sam- ple window to a customer's home," explains Wayne.

When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free esti- mate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you'll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Tech Weld 2000 series of vinyl windows which you're free to operate and you'll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. "After being in this business for 18 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market," says Wayne. 'They're triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hard- ware." If you desire, you can choose the Low E Glass which fil- ters out the ultraviolet rays keep- ing your home cooler in the sum- mer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty and a 10 - year guarantee on the installation. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, elimi- nating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price.

"Our goal is not to use local tax- payers' money;' says Tom Flood, chairman of the steering commitee which landed the games for all eight municipalities in the region. However, taxpayers will be on the hook for the $40),000 — the amount expected to be anted up by the Province for the event — to be held Aug. 1 1 to Aug. 13, 2000. Officials hope to offset the re- maining cost of the games through fund-raising ($20.000), corporate services ($1()0,000) and entry fees- for eesfor participants ($180.000). Each of the 3,000 athletes expect- ed to take part will pay $60 to com- pete in the games. All eight local governments, along with the Durham Region gov- ernment, are combining to make $200,000 available "as a buffer in case we have difficulty" funding the games, says Flood. If all fund-raising efforts are suc- cessful, the local government money may not he needed, he says. The Region has pledged $52,000; Oshawa, $30,000. Ajax, Clarington. Pickering and Whitby, $22,(x)0 each; Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge. S 10,000 each. The Games will be spread throughout each municipality in the region, notes Flood. For example, Civic Fields in Os- hawa will host the opening ccre- monies and track and field events; Whitby will host sailing and tennis; Clarington will host baseball and soccer; Ajax gets baseball and men's rugby, Pickering will be home to field lacrosse, softball, volleyball: m 'MIS CORRECTION Snow shovels displayed in our "Price Meltdown" flyer, Jan. 25 - Jan 31-1 are not available in the Pickering Town Centre location.

By 'Dacey Hosking, Account Manager Investments Royal Bank, Hwy 2 & Liverpool Rd., Pickering (905) 839-5037 S These fixed rate investments have been a core holding in millions of RSP's for many years with good reason. They're safe, the return is guaranteed, and they are easy to buy. Every Retirement Savings Plan should have a fixed rate component. One of the best ways to manage GICs is to use a strategy known as "laddering" your fixed rate investments. This approach is especially valuable for anyone whose priorities include safety of capital, predictable future income, and the ability to adapt to a changing interest rate environment. There are two stages to implementing this strategy. First, calculate how much of this year's RSP contribution you wish to invest in GICs. To that add the value of any GICs in your plan that will mature around the same time. Divide the total into five equal amounts. PICKERING Hwv. 2 and Liverpool Rd. 905-839-5152 Hwv. 2 and Whites Rd. 905420-8700 For example, if the combined amount was $10,000, you'd have five units of $2,000 each. Invest one unit in each available maturity up to five years. You'll end up with $2,000 maturing a year from now, another $2,000 in two years, and so on. Then, as each GIC matures, reinvest the proceeds in a five year term, which usually pays the highest rates. The result is that you'll have money rolling over at the best available rate. As additional GICs mature, or you contribute more money to your RSP, continue the strategy of balancing the total amount of your fixed rate investments that will mature in any given year. If interest rates rise in the future, you'll always have cash becoming available that will allow you to take advantage of the opportunity to reinvest at higher yields. For more information about RSPs and other registered plans, visit your local Royal Bank branch or Royal Bank's web site at www.royalbank.comi yourmoneymatters.

Millions of these X-rays are done every year in North America. But how many are done for bona - fide medical reasons? Or simply be- cause it's politics at its worst? A recent report in the British Medical Journal claims what I've said before. The age at which women are advised to start regular mammograms is decided by a host of factors other than medical neces- sity. Dr. Jane Wells is a public health researcher at Oxford University's Institute of Health Sciences. She charges that the United States' Na- tional Cancer Institute made a med- ical error in 1997, that this scientific body gave into the demands of politicians when it recommended regular mammograms for women in their forties. According to Dr. Wells several studies over the last 35 years have attempted to solve the problem. Is there a benefit to young women by screening them for breast cancer Babysitters get safety tips from St. John Young people can learn to be more responsible babysitters through a course offered by St. John Ambulance. 'What Every Babysitter Should Know', for children I 1 to 13 years old, is designed to teach children basic first aid techniques and safety awareness. Young people will learn how to handle breathing emergencies, arti- ficial respiration, choking, bleeding and bandaging, temper tantrums, colic, diapering, bathing and bottle feeding. The seven -hour course, taught by a St. John Ambulance instructor, costs $30 per child. It will be offered Saturdays Feb. 6 in Oshawa, Feb. 13 in Whitby and Feb. 20 in Ajax. To register, or for more informa- tion, call St. John Ambulance at 434-7800. with mammography? In 1997 the Cancer Institute's own panel of health experts con- cluded there is insufficient evidence to support this approach. According to Dr. Wells, several U.S. politicians wanted to score "brownie points" with women vot- ers. This resulted in the U.S. Senate passing a resolution to recommend annual mammography starting at age 40. Dr. Wells relates that the head of the Cancer Institute was called be- fore a Senate committee and told his budget might be affected if he did not agree with the resolution passed by the U.S. Senate. More fuel was added to the fire when 39 female members of Con- gress penned letters to the institute's advisory board. They charged that women's lives would he in danger if mammograms were delayed until 50 years of age. The result'? Scientists suc- cumbed to this pressure and were applauded by President Clinton and other high-ranking officials!

Radiologists may miss seen by mammography. This means seeing cancers in young dense the cancer has been present for do benefit from mammography. But there's also a big downside for some patients. Mammography is far from being an exact science. If it were an accurate test, few if any women would ever die from breast cancer. The problem is simple. Young breasts are denser than those of older women so X-rays cannot pen- etrate breast tissue as easily. This makes it more difficult for doctors to interpret the mammogram. The result? Too many mammo- grams are reported as being suspi- cious for cancer. Can you imagine the emotional impact of this news to women, particularly 40 -year-old women with young families: It's devastating.

What I deplore is the hypocrisy surrounding this test. It's been pro- moted as the be -all -and -end-all of cancer detection. The Cancer Soci- ety pleads with women to get mam- mograms to diagnose early cancer. But mammography cannot detect early cancer with the certainty that patient% have come to expect. Mammography doesn't spot early cancer for a very simple rea- son. It's not like the Pap Test for cer- vical cancer. The Pap smear looks at individ- ual cells that have fallen off the cervix and are present in vaginal discharzc. Ir. the majority of in - years before it's diagnosed. Hence the lower cure rate for breast cancer. What it really boils down to is this sobering fact. Mammography on a scale of one to 10 1s a poor test as tests go. It results in exposure to radiation, misses cancers, worries patients needlessly and on occasion provides false hope. Let's be honest with women. We should tell them mammography docs M)( detect early cancer. Rather, it detects cancer as early as it can be diagnosed. And that their doctor is the best judge of when to start mam- mography. To claim every woman at age 40 should begin having yearly mammograms may be good poli- tics. But it's a dishonest and ap- palling way to solicit votes from un suspecting medical consumers. a C D(�?17i 1s1 r lam'- a l.l�`TrJ�JJJ�°,JJ'�J��V 1 �-M Coll ' Reserve your tickets • 0 Or RICK -up tickets am , rf ews Advertiser, Ajax •Four Seasons Country Club, Pick. �.+ t • Tuxedo Royalo, Pick.

Playing before some 4,000 vocal fans, the largest hockey crowd of the season at the Civic Auditorium, Cana- da managed a 6-6 tie thanks mainly to a superb effort by 20 -year-old Hayley Wickenheiser, who scored her fourth goal of the game with 1:57 remaining. Canada had been dominant on the international women's hockey scene for most of the 1990%, but teams such as Finland and especially the United States have made significant strides in the past few years. In fact, the U.S. de- feated Canada in the gold -medal game of the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, the first time Canada had not won a major international event. Wednesday's game proved that Fin- land, which won bronze at the Olympics, will also be a strong con- tender when it hosts the World Cham- pionships in March. "It's a great thing for the sport.- says Canada forward Vickv Sunohara, who scored once in the game. "If there are blowouts, the fans wouldn't have a good time, the players wouldn't have a good time. As time goes on, all the countries are getting up there. ht's real- ly nice to see. It's progressing really quick." Coach Daniele Sauvageau, who was promoted from assistant to head coach when Shannon Miller was let go after the Olympics, agrees better competi- tion means better exposure for the Sport. -That's good news for women's hockey:' Sauvageau said after the game. By the same token, Sauvageau says Canada's hockey program has more depth than ever and also continues to improve. She points to a recent 3 Na- tions Cup championship, where Cana- da beat the U.S. and Finland twice each, as reason for optimism heading into the World Championships. "Obviously that's a good indicator that our program continues to progress;" she says. "Of course we want the gold back." In order to achieve that goal, it seems Canada will rely heavily on Wickenheiser, who hails from Shau- navon, Sask., and is a cousin of recent- ly deceased former NHL.er Doug Wick- - enheiser. Wickenheiser was by far the pre- mier player on the ice Wednesday, a fact she established with a booming slap shot for the opening goal four min- utes in. But veterans such as Sunohara, a 28 -year-old Scarborough native, will „also play a key role if Canada is to get back on top of the women's hockey world. She also scored a pretty goal Wednesday, a solo effort on the power play with five seconds left in the first period to give Canada a 2-1 lead. "We did a lot of good things, we did a lot of bad things;' Sunohara said after the game. "But it's a learning experi- ence. That's what this is for." Defenceman Natalie Rivard also scored for Canada, which had a 4-1 lead midway through the game but let it slip away with sloppy defensive play and needed a fortunate bounce on Wickenheiser's final goal to steal a tie. In the absence of Riikka Nieminen, who was the leading scorer during the Olympics, Hanne Sikio led the way for Finland with two goals Wednesday. One of four exhibition matches in Ontario and Quebec being used by both teams as preparation for the World Championships, the game was enjoyed by all. Sunohara, who has twice paid a visit to Durham Region to help support the Whitby Girls' Hocken Association, said it was nice to play in front of such an enthusiastic hometown crowd. "We had a great crowd out tonight;" she said. "This is the closest we've played to Scarborough, where I'm from. It was a lot of" fun. The crowd was crazy. It was awesome."

Pio, I am not VVIV talking about the astronomical amount of snow we v xxrnJL ha%e received over the past few-1veeks, I am referring to the sudden increase in mortgage rates. It would appear that retribution for the negative result of the planned mergers has fallen on the public. The reasons given for the latest rounds of increases is that the price paid for invest- ments has risen, therefore rates had to be increased. I can only speak for myself, but, if I was earning a BILLION •, I at a minimum, would bide my time to see if this was stem- porary situation. I guess this is why I will never make those kind of numbers. Keep an eye when rates do fall again, l would 'Bet The Bank" ( pardon the expression) that they will not drop as much as they Lust went up. The sooner the Federal Government opens up the banking industry to foreign competition the better. The more players competing for our business the bet- ter for all of us. What's Going to Happen? The spring market will be very active, with lots of action in the Real Estate market. Prions should increase over the year by 3% to 5%, with the largest growth being in the new housing market. The job market will be far more active, with a large amount of established companies increasing their work force (Central Funding included), and a substantial amount of new companies will surface. Interest rates will go the way of the Toilet Seat (up and down) but the end result should be no major change. Anything I should or should not do? One thing almost all of us should do, is CONSOUDATE our debts. This could be by way of one large loan, or refinance your mortgage. get those 20% to 30% credit cards consolidated. Stretch those payments over a longer period of time. This has two positive effects. One is you will now have a surplus cash Sow, which means when you purchase most items, you will now be able to pay cash for them. The other positive is that you can actually put some money in that dusty savngs account. remember, that loans are open, and you can always make extra payments when you have extra money, which will pay off that debt much faster. remember at Central Funding Group, consolidations are a speciality, with the average monthly savings being in excess of S800 a month, with some clients saving over SIAN a month. One thing you should not do, is apply all over the place. remember, any more that THREE credit inquiries, over a SIX month period has a MAJOR negative effect on an approval. Why Central Funding Group? - That answer to that question is simple. Experieaoe, experience, experience. Fast professional service. The ability to get the best possible deal for your individual situation. Prime fust mortgages at 314% below pasted market rates.
