Berrywoods Farm Inc., also known as Tribute Homes/Run- nymede Development Corpora- tion, filed applications with the City March 19 to amend a zoning bylaw and to request approval of a draft plan of a subdivision to build 381 homes in the hamlet of Greenwood, in northeast Picker- ing. The appeal was filed with the OMB July 4 by Berrywoods Farm's planning consultants Walker, Nott, Dragicevic Associ- ates Ltd. "Please accept this letter as our formal appeal... from the City of Pickering's refusal to adopt request amendments to zoning bylaw No. 3037 within 90 days of receipt of an applica- tion," the letter reads. Neil Carroll, director of plan- ning with the City, said Picker- ing did not hold a public meeting on the application within 45 days or make a decision on the subdivision in 90 days because it felt the submission fell under the Province's Greenbelt Protection Act (Bill 27). "This application is impacted by Bill 27. In our view that Bill 27 establishes a one-year moratori- um on development applica- tions that would change land to urban use," Mr. Carroll said. "It is our opinion that the Berrywoods application does propose to ex- pand the urban settlement area." Bill 27, which established a greenbelt study area and placed a one-year moratorium on land use planning changes outside an urban settlement area, was first introduced in December, but did Hospital funding below expectations for Rouge system By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX –It wasn't as much as hospital officials were hoping for, but the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem is getting an extra $3 million this year. The Ministry of Health an- nounced earlier this week an ad- ditional $469.5 million to operate Ontario's hospitals in the 2004/05 fiscal year. The details of the funding have yet to be released, but the addi- tional money represents a 1.6-per cent increase over Rouge Valley's base budget of $184 million for 2003/04. In its budget planning process the hospital had esti- mated a 2.5 per cent increase. "Our costs go up every year so certainly we were counting on getting the money and we are a little disappointed we didn't get what we were expecting," said Carmen Salmon, Rouge Valley's vice-president of clinical pro- grams and services and acting chief executive officer (Hume Mar tin is on vacation). Ms. Salmon was not sure how the funding would affect the Centenary or the Ajax and Pick- ering sites. "The government has not yet released all the details of the al- locations," she said. "It's still too early to talk about how (the) an- nouncement may impact our hospitals."

Durham Regional Police arrested one suspect in the presence of his pro- bation officer Thursday, then picked up his brother at a Scarborough apartment hours later after executing a search warrant. The two men are accused of using a pellet gun, a hammer and a knife in the commission of two robberies on Harwood Avenue in Ajax on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. In the first instance, two suspects robbed a Sub- way sandwich shop of a small amount of cash around 2:10 p.m. Tuesday. A similar robbery occurred at a Har- wood Avenue convenience store around noon Wednesday, police said. On Thursday around 2:30 p.m. offi- cers arrested an 18-year-old man dur- ing a meeting with his probation offi- cer on Kingston Road in Pickering. Police obtained a search warrant for the Scarborough residence the two suspects share and executed it during the early morning hours of July 30, ar- resting a 20-year-old man. Stuart Davie and Howard Davie, of Lawrence Avenue East, are each charged with two counts of robbery; using an imitation gun during the commission of an offence; wearing a disguise with intent; possession of dangerous weapons; possession of property obtained by crime and pos- session of a controlled substance. Stuart Davie is also charged with four counts of breach of probation, while Howard Davie faces one additional charge of possession of a controlled substance. not become law until June. Mr. Car- roll said the City felt in light of Bill 27 getting first reading, the application couldn't be processed. He believes Berrywoods' argu- ment is that the application isn't covered by Bill 27. Tribute Homes would not comment on the appeal. "We feel it is inappropriate to com- ment while we have something be- fore the OMB," said Jeff Brandwein, vice-president of customer service with Tribute Homes. The appeal is also regarding an application made to amend the Durham Region Official Plan. The Region began to process the application and held a public meet- ing in May, but now that the Green- belt Protection Act has passed it has stopped processing the applica- tion. "As a result of the moratorium we are not processing the application," said Jim Blair, director of current op- erations at the Region. "Now we can't do anything more because Bill 27 came into effect."

Ms. Salmon said the hospital's staff and physicians work hard to im- prove efficiency and meet budget targets - last year the hospital was even able to achieve a small surplus. "It's always a work in progress. I think we do a very good job in being efficient and still providing the best service possible to our communities," she said. Ms. Salmon said she didn't believe the Province would be making any more announcements of increases to operating budgets for 2004/05.

While Environment Canada is saying the actual precipitation is close to normal for this time of year, the pattern of rainfall is a bit different. "The ground isn't getting a chance to dry because we haven't had many days without rain," said Denis Paquette, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. He said the area around Os- hawa is on schedule, receiving 36.9 mm of rain up to July 20, com- pared to the average mean of 67.3 mm for the entire month. But rather than moderate rainfall fol- lowed by days of sunshine, the area is receiving large storms fol- lowed by lighter, frequent rain and few sunny days. "The amount of rain varies across the area, though, because summer storms are often convec- tive, meaning some areas could be getting more rain than others," said Mr. Paquette. Convective rainfall is similar to putting pots of water on all four burners of a stove, each at differ- ent temperatures. Moisture will rise at different rates, and there- fore, when condensation occurs, the droplets will be more abun- dant over some pots than others. Cullen Gardens near Whitby opened a new restaurant onsite this summer, allowing visitors a dry place to camp until rain- storms pass by. "People are realizing the show- ers aren't lasting that long," said Debbie Lodge, marketing director for Cullen Gardens. "We had Pop Star Idol here and saw more than 1,000 people here over the week- end, but some people do stay away, and a few tours have can- celled, but overall, numbers are up slightly over last year." Marisa Carpino, supervisor of culture and recreation for the City of Pickering, said weather has not been a factor at the Pickering Mu- seum Village. "We're experiencing the same traffic as usual," she said. "(Last) Sunday was sold out and there was a forecast for rain." Even though some areas are faring better than others, reduced numbers at tourist destinations may be costing local businesses. Ron Hooper, chairman of the Business Improvement Associa- tion of Bowmanville, said there are a few factors that may be con- tributing to reduced tourism. He said gas prices could be keeping people home, and large storms have caused interruptions. "We've been having problems with utility services," said Mr. Hooper. "The power was knocked out in the downtown core during the last two storms, around the supper hour, and that affected restaurants. If there's a problem with utilities services, that needs to be looked into." Mr. Hooper said the weather prompted the Municipality to move the street revitalization pro- gram from July to August. "If we are having a slow July, the (program) could impact us in Au- gust," he said. "I have people call- ing me asking when they're going to start." Mr. Hooper remains optimistic about the ability of towns along Hwy. 2 to lure tourists into the area. Paired with downtown festi- vals and evening outdoor con- certs that prompt window shop- ping, he said he suspects people will continue to be interested in shopping. "You see it when we have a nice day on the weekend," he said. "People will suddenly decide to go shopping after a week of rainy weather." Those hoping for better weath- er can expect cooler, sunny days for the Region over the next week. DURHAM –The Humane Society of Durham Region wants you to hit a birdie to help a dog or cat.

Invariably the pain goes away after a few good test scores but for some it can signal a growing and avoidable problem. “Once thought to be uncommon the opposite is actually true,” says Tom Carter, Clinic Manager at the CBI Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre in Ontario. “Back pain in children and adolescents is very common and backpacks that become loaded with heavy books are often blamed.” Children and teenagers are particularly vulnerable to injury. They are growing and developing, and harmful or unnecessary strain on their bodies can affect their health, long term. Students can reduce strain by using and fitting a backpack that works for them rather than against them. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) recommends the selection and use of backpacks with the following features: • The backpack should be fit to the person, not the person to the backpack. When choosing a backpack, it should not be oversized. The shoulder straps should fit comfortably and not dig in to the shoulders, allowing the arms to move freely; the bottom of the pack should rest in the contour of the lower back; and the pack should “sit” evenly in the middle of the back, not “sag down” toward the buttocks. • Choose a padded back to reduce pressure and prevent the pack1s contents from digging into the back. Padded, contoured, shoulder and chest straps (2 inches wide) will reduce pressure and balance the weight. The shoulder straps should be adjusted so the bottom of the pack sits two inches above the waist. • Waist belt or hip strap will distribute some of the load to the pelvis. The waist belt sends the weight of the pack down through the legs, which are more used to carrying weight; and it will maintain the central position keeping the pack closer to the back. Liz Harrison, Director and Professor at the School of Physical Therapy, University of Saskatchewan says, “It’s important for children to recognize the impact of excessive loading of the spine at an early age in order to prevent current pain and future back problems.” CPA recommends the following tips for safe backpack use: • Centre the backpack between the shoulder blades using both shoulder straps. • The use of both shoulder straps to help distribute the weight of the pack evenly will promote a more normal posture. Using only one strap loads the entire weight of the bag over one shoulder, resulting in back pain and strain to the neck and shoulders. Leaning forward may affect the natural curve in the lower back, and increase the curve of the upper back and shoulders. • Try to maintain a good posture at all times, standing tall with your head and neck aligned with your shoulders. Keeping your shoulders pulled gently back and down, will help. Also try not to slouch whether sitting or standing, this can lead to faulty posture and weakened muscles contributing to spinal pain.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 1, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Sobering food for thought The need for food bank ever increasing here in Pickering A full fridge, stocked shelves and overflowing canisters: For many city residents, having enough food for every appetite in the family is a fact of life. Worrying about where the next meal will come from just doesn’t need much attention. But, for many families in Pickering, it’s just not that sim- ple. While it’s only a matter of weeks until Thanksgiving weekend, the St. Paul’s-on-the-Hill Food Bank isn’t sure it will be able to keep its shelves stocked that long. It’s putting out a call for help, noting it’s in desperate need of items such as canned fruit, vegetables and tuna, among other items. The reason? The food bank’s client list just keeps growing and donations are on the decline for this time of year. As the economy enjoys modest growth, as our communi- ties grow around us, as we enjoy our precious creature com- forts, it’s understandable that at times we forget there’s an- other side to city life. Those in need around us are not always visible on the sur- face, but make no mistake, many families in Pickering rely on food banks to keep breakfast, lunch and dinner on the table. Over the last few years the trend has been consistent: the demands on food banks are greater than ever. More clients means more donations are needed, meaning more appeals to the public. Whether it be the loss of a job, change in family situation, the higher cost of living or anything else, the bottom line is increasing numbers of people need a hand to get them through a tough spot. Making a donation is as simple as making an extra stop while at your favourite grocery store. Items can be dropped off at bins in Loblaws, Dominion, Price Chopper and Sobeys in Pickering; or Sobeys and IGA in Ajax. So, in the next few days add an item or two to your shop- ping cart or stop for a moment to check what your cup- boards can offer. Whether it is canned goods or other non- perishable items, if everyone does their part, it greatly re- duces the need.

Editorials &Opinions SUNDAY, August 1, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Funding ignores other child-care options To the editor: Re: 'Child-care funding a good step,' editorial, July 25. Yes, this funding is a good step for those families who choose to put their children in day care. That is only one choice, however. There are many other ways families care for their children, such as the help of neighbours, grand- parents or choosing to have a parent stay home. The choice to give up a second in- come in order to have a parent at home is just as costly, if not more so, than day care, yet this choice continues to be completely unrecognized by our govern- ments. Not only do these families receive no funding, but also they are penalized with the higher taxes needed to pay for day-care funding, making it increasing- ly difficult to live on a single income. Our government has no business de- ciding which child-care method is preferable by financially assisting only one. It is our money, and all families should be treated fairly and receive the same funding in order to choose the child-care arrangement that they deem best for their children.

After donning scuffed black work boots, a hard hat, giant green Metroland jacket and glass- es, I was led Tuesday on a tour of the new Durham Region head- quarters on Rossland Road in Whitby (you can't miss it - the six- storey building dwarfs everything in the mostly flat town). Shania Twain's 'I Feel Like a Woman' was definitely not playing this day. I couldn't wait to put my sparkly silver heels on after the dirt- and men-filled trek was over. The first thing: Mocha-coloured squishy mud. Everywhere. On the back of my black dress pants (smart move to wear those that day), on my socks, in my boots. Once inside, the 338,000-sq. ft. building looks far less complete than the exterior, a good chunk of which has bricks and windows. The floor of council chambers, for example, was filled with three inches of water because it's still lacking a roof. Concrete and steel support beams mark every floor. The lower level (one does not call them basements any more) was the only one with drywall. It was punctuated with an air saw and dotted with blue, white and yellow hardhats as men scurried like ants all over. The construction boys - all 145 of them - were a whole other facet of my de-femininity. They gave me no catcalls, no second looks. Was it the hardhat? Maybe having Troy, the project manager, on the tour was cramping my style. But really, did I want the calls? There's a fine line between feeling degraded and getting a little fe- male ego boost when you're being jeered at. Speaking of jeering, there were two rooms that our entourage weren't allowed into. Troy said there were things inside he'd "have to speak to the boys about." He had a little smile on his face when he said it. So, boys, what was it? Maybe I had a lot of competition in the form of scantily clad pin-up girls. In the end, a hot tea, some lip- stick, the aforementioned shoes and some hair fluffing brought the girl in me back. It was all I could do not to sashay back over there and yell, "I am woman!" But, you know, the mud, and the shoes... Regional reporter Carly Fos- ter's column appears every third Sunday. E-mail cfoster@durham region.com 'I am woman, hear me roar' Letters to the Editor Carly Foster s t a f f w r i t e r Age not always a reason to throw aw ay the car keys By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM –Yo u're driving on a two-lane rural road stuck behind a slow driver. "Hurry up grandpa," you think, before you even catch a glimpse of the driver, and when the op- portunity to pass finally presents itself you fly by. Many drivers have experienced this situation or one similar and rightly or wrongly, this is the way some people perceive mature drivers. According to the Ministry of Transportation senior drivers are involved in fewer collisions compared to younger drivers, but they are involved in a larger number of collisions based on the number of kilometres they drive. In order to help mature drivers refresh their skills and feel com- fortable on the road there are several programs geared specifi- cally to them. At Smart Choice driving school in Oshawa, owner Leo Jenkins decided to offer the '55 Alive' program two years ago. "It's a great course for older people, especially seniors over 65. What it does is keep them up to date with what's out there - all the signs and everything," he ex- plained. In the course of teaching the class and through the extensive amount of time he spends on the road as an instructor, Mr. Jenk- ins has noticed a common prob- lem. "The problem I find with most senior drivers is they don't do enough looking," he said. "The next biggest one I try to push in class is changing lanes - they've never really learned about the blind spot." The program is done in class, but Mr. Jenkins said he encour- ages the students to take at least one in-car lesson. He said the problem with se- niors is not that they're necessar- ily bad drivers, but many of them have had their licence for 40 or 50 years and driving today is a lot different than it used to be. The average age of a senior taking his class is 75. "They love it and each one of them tell me they're going to come back once a year and take it again," he said. The challenge for seniors comes not only from the changes in driving over the years, but also the changes that come as people get older. In the years following the age of 50, some people become hard of hearing, others need correc- tive lenses and reflexes may slow down. George Hedges, past-presi- dent of the South Pickering Se- niors Club, said he doesn't know anyone personally who has given up driving because of the changes that come with age, but he does know it happens. "I've heard that so and so gave up driving because of an ailment of something," he said. "Most se- nior citizens are realistic, al- though not all, and they know when they're a danger on the road." Mr. Hedges said the club does- n't offer information on driving. "Driving is a personal thing and we all think we're the best driver on the road," he said. At 75, driving is essential to Mr. Hedges. He even volunteers to drive others home from dances or to the airport. "To be able to drive for seniors is essential, but not at the risk of other drivers," he said. In Ontario, the Senior Driver Renewal Program requires indi- viduals, aged 80 and over, to un- dergo a vision test, a knowledge test, and take part in a group ed- ucation session every two years. A small number of drivers may also be asked to take a road test. The Ministry of Transporta- tion's Web site states this process will help keep seniors mobile and independent longer, while ensur- ing unsafe drivers are identified and appropriate actions taken. The site also offers advice on making sure your health won't hinder your ability to drive. For example, it advises seniors to check with their doctor or phar- macist to make sure current and new medications will not nega- tively affect their ability to drive. Any vision changes, unex- plained dizziness or fainting spells, and frequent, chronic or severe pain should be reported to your doctor as pain can de- crease the ability to concentrate while driving, and limit move- ment behind the wheel.

Be an Internet tutor in volunteer session DURHAM –People interested in volunteering to teach seniors how to use the Internet can join a training session at Durham College. The session will take place Wednesday, Aug. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. in room B238. High school students can use the opportuni- ty to earn community service hours required to graduate. Another program called 'Train the Trainer' is available for groups or individuals who would like to provide volunteer pro- grams in their own communi- ties. The Developing Volunteer Ca- pacity in Communities Project is sustained through a partnership of VON Canada and St. John Ambulance, with financial sup- port from Human Resources Development Canada - Office of Learning and Technology.

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

All Vinyl Window Designs win- dows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keep- ing your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your cur- tains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wayne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson.
