Man sues Durham police for $2 million By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –A Toronto man has filed a $2-million lawsuit against Durham Regional Police, claim- ing an officer tampered with evi- dence by altering a video state- ment he made 10 years ago. The claims, made by Scarbor- ough resident Donald Williams, have also prompted a police oversight agency to order a hear- ing against an officer under the Police Services Act. The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in Whitby. A civil suit filed last month al- leges that Sergeant Jim Grieps- ma tampered with videotapes made during an interview Mr. Williams gave to Durham Re- gional Police when he was being investigated for a sex crime in 1994. His lawsuit, which also names Chief Kevin McAlpine and the Police Services Board as defendants, alleges the police service failed to effectively inves- tigate his accusations and follow up on complaints he filed. "They had tunnel vision," Mr. Williams said during a recent telephone interview. "The chief did everything in his power to try to stop this procedure." The allegations have not been proven in court. The lawsuit quotes a number of reports by high-ranking Durham Regional Police officials, which indicate internal investigations uncov- ered no evidence of wrongdoing by Sgt. Griepsma, a polygraph technician who interviewed Mr. Williams a decade ago. Mr. Williams was arrested for sexual assault and sexual inter- ference in 1994, charges that were eventually stayed in 1996. In 1995, he sued the police for the arrest and the way in which the investigation was conducted.

He made the final six, but failed to win a medal. Students will tell the story Kennedy says success of Liberal initiatives will be in the results By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –Student performance will determine if his government's education reforms are a success, Gerard Kennedy told local edu- cators Wednesday. The education minister visited Durham primary teachers We dnesday in Whitby to talk gov- ernment numeracy training. "We're saying that student per- formance is going to improve," Mr. Kennedy said. "The way to do that is the variety of initiatives we've got. We are saying that within four years, we are going to have 75 per cent of students meeting the provincial standard." Currently, he says 54 per cent are achieving the standard of a 'B' on provincial tests. Lowering class sizes in junior kindergarten to Grade 3 and en- suring students by age 12 have an advanced comprehension of liter- acy and numeracy are two of the government's key strategies for reaching its goal. Durham education officials say the initiatives are well underway here. In its first education budget, the Province gave the Durham District School Board $3 million to start lowering primary class sizes. Mark Joel, the board's opera- tions superintendent, says the money allowed the board to hire 34, full-time equivalent teachers. ✦See New page 2 ✦See Citizen page 2 Felicien steps into the blocks today PICKERING –Pickering Olym- pian Perdita Felicien begins her run for gold today. The heats in the women's 100- metre hurdles begin Sunday, Aug. 22, with five heats sched- uled from 12:35 to 1:05 p.m. The semifinals are tomorrow (Monday) from noon to 12:03 p.m. and 12:08 to 12:11 p.m. The final is Tuesday, Aug. 24 at 3:30 p.m. Felicien, 23, is the reigning world champion in the 100m and is a favourite to reach the medal podium. Quest for gold begins In the civil suit filed this sum- mer, Mr. Williams alleges that during a polygraph test and in- ter view in October 1994, Sgt. Griepsma accused him of lying. Mr. Williams also claims the offi- cer edited a tape of the session, condensing two tapes into one and omitting more than two minutes of tape. Mr. Williams claims he didn't become aware of the alleged editing of tapes until several years later, when he viewed the video in a lawyer's office. He filed a complaint with Durham Re- gional Police in 1999. The complaint was rejected because the force ruled it came more than six months after the original incident, according to documents filed with the court. Mr. Williams appealed that deci- sion to the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services (OCCOPS), a civilian oversight board, which ruled in his favour. The complaint was sent back to Durham police, but was ulti- mately dismissed as unsubstan- tiated. Court documents say a report conducted by Durham police concluded there was no "clear and convincing evidence" of mis- conduct by Sgt. Griepsma, who claimed in statements that he did not edit or alter tapes of the interview in any way. Sgt. Griepsma also defended his con- frontation of Mr. Williams - ac- cusing him of lying - as an inves- tigative technique he employed when a polygraph test was in- conclusive about the Scarbor- ough man's guilt or innocence. Mr. Williams appealed once again to OC- COPS, which this time sup- ported Durham police. He took the matter to Di- visional Court and in 2003 three judges ruled his complaint had merit, according to court docu- ments. Durham police reviewed the matter in late 2003 and once again found the claims could not be substan- tiated. But this time, OCCOPS ruled with Mr. Williams, and or- dered that a hearing under the Police Services Act be convened. Tom Bell, vice-president of the Durham Regional Police Associ- ation, said the union is providing Sgt. Griepsma with legal repre- sentation for the hearing. He said the OCCOPS ruling in favour of a hearing is troubling, given the extensive review Mr. Williams's complaint has been subjected to. "It's something that's been in- vestigated and thrown back," Sgt. Bell said. "It's second-guess- ing, in our view." He said complaints are fre- quently being sent back to local forces with demands that charges be laid against cops. "It's happening more and more; it's every (police) service that's having the same problem," Sgt. Bell said. "A lot of officers are put under duress unnecessarily." Margo Boyd, senior investiga- tor with OCCOPS, wouldn't dis- cuss details of the file, except to confirm the agency's ruling that a hearing should be convened. "The commission reviewed the circumstances and a decision was made to order a public hear- ing," Ms. Boyd said. "In this instance, there was an air of reality to the complaint." Mr. Williams said police probes of his complaint have failed to address his accusations of evidence tampering. "None of this has been ex- plained," he said. "None of it." Mr. Williams, who will repre- sent himself at the Police Ser- vices Act hearing in Whitby, said he intends to call Chief McAlpine and other officers as witnesses, a move he's certain the service will fight. He said he wants the chief to explain why the investigations of his complaints were done in- house, and that his input was not sought. "The chief has to be held ac- countable," Mr. Williams said. "No one interviewed me." Neither Durham Regional Po- lice nor the Police Services Board have responded to re- quests for comment about the civil suit.

"We identified schools that had low EQAO (Education Quality and Accountability Office) scores, as one criteria, high class size numbers as a second criteria, and available space as the third crite- ria," Mr. Joel says. "They didn't have to have all three and any one was equally important." He says the primary class size average in Durham public ele- mentary schools this coming year, based on enrolment projections, will be 22 students, down half a student from last November. The average elementary class is slated to have 24.1 pupils, down .40 from last fall. Over the summer, Mr. Joel says the board purchased eight new portables and moved 62 to schools requiring more space. The government also vowed that lead teachers in numeracy and literacy would be in every On- tario elementary school this fall. Mr. Joel says by the end of last June, one teacher had received training for every Durham ele- mentary school. As well, teachers are attending voluntary numera- cy and literacy training sessions before school starts. The lead teachers do not re- ceive more money, but he says they have a bit more responsibili- ty as "somebody who's trained in the new curriculum initiatives and program materials that come from the ministry." Patricia Manson, education di- rector of the Durham Catholic District School Board, notes their budget in- cludes 13 new teachers. "We will use the teachers in schools where we perceive there is a need to lower class sizes," she says. "Our goal is to work towards lowering the teacher-student ratio to 20:1." Ms. Manson couldn't say what the projected ratio will be this year in local Catholic schools, not- ing she first has to see this year's enrolment figures. Last Novem- ber she reported the primary av- erage was 21.9 and the elementary average was 24.3.News from all over Durham Region online at durhamregion.comPATRICIA MANSON New portables in place ✦ New from page 1 Manager hurt in incident remains in serious, but stable condition PICKERING –Durham Regional Police have released more de- tails as they continue their search for the driver who dragged a liquor store employ- ee across a parking lot and left him with serious head injuries Wednesday night. The manager of the LCBO outlet on Brock Road remains in serious but stable condition after falling from the car, which took off and dragged him for about 40 metres when he tried to prevent the theft of a bottle of booze from the store, police said. Police are describing one sus- pect as a white male, 18 to 23, who stands about 5-foot-9 and has a slim build. The man has dark hair and was wearing dark clothing and a baseball cap, po- lice said. The suspect walked out of the liquor store around 9 p.m. without paying for the bottle he carried and was pursued into the parking lot by the employ- ee, a 44-year-old Bowmanville man. The suspect got into a silver vehicle, described by police as a two-door model, possibly a Chevrolet. When the employee reached into the car to try and grab the bottle, the driver took off, drag- g ing the man a distance before he fell to the pavement, police said. When he was examined at hospital later he was found to have a serious head injury and was transferred to Toronto Western Hospital, where he re- mained at week's end. Since the incident investiga- tors have been canvassing the area in search of information; their efforts have included re- viewing video surveillance tapes, police said. Anyone with information on the theft is asked to call Durham Regional Police at 905- 579-1520, extension 2526, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

But questions continue to be raised about the relia- bility of the allegations, and the way in which they’re being brought forth. Former DEU members say they’re being targeted by the very people they ar- rested and put in jail; and a lawyer who is advising the local police union on the matter said the investiga- tion could be seen to be giv- ing drug dealers busted by the unit an opportunity to lodge complaints retroac- tively. “All of a sudden these in- dividuals... are somewhat empowered by this investi- gation technique,” said lawyer Bill MacKenzie. “You’re going to get some fabrication.” Numerous officers have been notified they may be called upon to give evi- dence as the force conducts a probe into possible mis- conduct under the Police Services Act. The in-house probe by Durham Police is being conducted at the same time as an investiga- tion by the OPP into allega- tions of criminal conduct by the DEU. Sources say the original allegations were made by a Durham of- ficer who had left the DEU prior to the investigation being launched in February 2003. Sources say the OPP re- viewed more than 250 files of DEU arrests, many of them from 2002. That’s a period during which the squad was extremely ac- tive, making several high- profile busts and arresting hundreds of suspects. The OPP probe has been com- pleted and a report handed over to the Crown attor- ney’s office, said Chief Kevin McAlpine. No word has yet come on whether or not evidence of criminal ac- tivity was uncovered by the OPP; the officers being in- vestigated have not been told the specifics of the alle- gations against them. At the same time, a task force of Durham officers has also been reviewing those files. So far, seven al- legations have been desig- nated “chief’s complaints” under the Police Services Act, the service has con- firmed. Mr. MacKenzie said the service is following up on allegations of misconduct in a way that’s required by the Police Services Act. “The service is doing what the act requires,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean any hearing will be con- ducted.” Durham Regional Police spokesman David Selby said last month that 12 of- ficers have been told they could be charged under the police ser- vices act. Another 37 cops have been told they may be called upon to provide statements in the investigation, he said. Those numbers are a source of debate among the parties involved; some sources say the notices are more widespread than what has officially been re- ported. Mr. MacKenzie said the allegations being investi- gated by the Durham task force centre primarily on reports of excessive use of force lodged by people ar- rested by the DEU. “What I’m hearing is some of these individuals have alleged misconduct,” he said. “They’re largely al- legations of assault. “There were some in- juries.” But no one is disputing the fact force was some- times used during drug busts, say former DEU members, who spoke on condition they not be named. They said DEU work is a risky, rough and tumble world in which cops pursued and arrested dan- gerous suspects. DEU officers routinely detailed any use of force and injuries sustained by suspects in their reports, which were included in Crown briefs when the matters went to court, he said. Yet in all of 2002, when the DEU recorded in excess of 350 arrests, just two com- plaints were filed, several sources said.

Use of force under spotlight KEVIN McALPINE ` ARBOUR POWER LP NOTICE OF PROJECT COMMENCEMENT AJAX BIOMASS COGENER ATION PROJECT The Study Arbour Power LP, is a limited partnership formed by Borealis Infrastructures Management Inc., Veridian Corporation and Dongara Development Inc. Arbour Power is proposing to construct a biomass cogeneration plant that will use gasification technology to produce both steam and electricity from a fuel supply consisting of waste wood and/or other acceptable biomass. Map of Plant Location As shown in the map, the plant will be located on the site as indicated. The purpose of using the gasification and cogeneration technologies is to allow the plant to be an environmentally friendly facility and to produce usable energy more efficiently (providing a combination of steam and electricity outputs). This will allow the local electricity distributor to have access to a local generation facility, should there ever be another massive power failure to affect the area. The Process The project is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) and is subject to the environmental screening process for electricity projects. The applicable guideline that is being followed is the ìGuide to Environmental Assessment Requirements for Electricity Projects (March 2001)î provided by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. The provincial EA process includes public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, assessment of the impacts of the proposed project, and identification of measures to mitigate any adverse impacts. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Screening Report will be filed for public and agency review. The Provincial Ministry of Energy issued a Request for Proposals for bids on 300 MW of Renewable Energy Supply. Arbour Power will respond to the RFP through a bid submission of this project. However, if they are unsuccessful in the August 2004 bid process, it is likely that the project will be postponed until a future date. It is intended that notices of re-commencement of the project would be issued at that time. If they are successful in the bid process, then the environmental screening process would continue and notices would be placed in local newspapers and forwarded to interested parties/agencies regarding future public consultation activities, at the appropriate time. Comments We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have about this project. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record for the Environmental Screening Report.

Bowmanville Beach East in Clar- ington and Kinsmen Beach in Scu- gog have been posted unsafe for swimming by Durham Region after tests were evaluated. The water samples were taken from Durham beaches during the week of Aug. 16, and throughout the summer, Durham Region Health Department will be conducting bac- teriological water tests to determine the safety status of beaches for swimming. As of Aug. 20, the following beach- es remain open and safe for swim- ming: Pickering Beach and Rotary park in Ajax; Beaverton Beach North and South, and Thorah Cen- tennial Park in Brock; Bowmanville Beach West and Newcastle Beach Central in Clarington; Lakeview Beach East and West in Oshawa; Frenchman's Bay East and West in Pickering; Elgin Pond in Uxbridge, and Whitby Beach. Tw o Durham beaches unsafe for swimmers We must take on challenge of obesity Healthy lifestyles are lacking in society today, survey proves It might not come as news to anyone that as far as health and fitness goes, we could all do a little better. We all know we should eat a little less, move a little more, and butt out. We know, we know. But results of a recent study by the Canadian Community Health Survey should give Durham residents pause for thought. Just as our nation has been lacklustre thus far in Athens, we in Durham earn no accolades when it comes to health. The survey says only 47 per cent of us had a healthy weight in 2001-2002, with obesity rates on the rise. Residents in Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington have the dubi- ous distinction of living in the fourth worst urban centre in the country when it comes to being overfat. And even though the Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge community was grouped with the To ronto area and weighed in as being slightly leaner than the average Canadian, we still don't have much to be proud of. Nationwide, nearly 15 per cent of us are obese. In Durham, 16 per cent of us are obese and not even half of us in the region are considered to be a healthy weight. This should be of concern to all of us, and should be particu- larly worrisome to the health care sector. While governments grapple with health care costs and taxpayers are told to pay more for less, we are also being warned our children are grow- ing heavier in the age of the Internet, as they spend more time in front of televisions and computers and less time enjoying physical pursuits. Rising obesity rates mean more of us are at risk for illnesses, including diabetes, heart problems and cancers. If we hope to continue to enjoy affordable, accessible health care and manage our tax dollars well, we need to address the growing obesity rate both nationally and here in Durham. We have taken steps. The Durham health department offers programs and educational support in areas such as smoking cessation and physical fitness. But we can do more, and our best chance of success is to educate the next generation. Our schools need to offer good nutritional choices in their cafeterias, and replace soft drink and junk food vending machines with those selling fruit and juice. Phys ed and nutritional courses should be mandatory from kindergarten right through high school, and we just might find we can improve our statistics on eating disorders at the same time. Photo radar would work if it told the whole picture To the editor: Photo radar, I believe, can be used for a safety tool in all regions for slowing down aggressive driving habits (read going too fast). It is typical that the rear vehicle tag is photographed while the offending vehi- cle is moving away from the police vehi- cle camera. This doesn't show the driver of the offending vehicle and therefore when the notice of violation is received, the owner (who may or may not be the offending driver) is not likely to recall the time in question, and presumably unable to dispute such a claim in court. It can be viewed that the money esti- mated to be brought in only penalizes the owner of the vehicle, not the driver. I think people should recognize that once they have loaned out their vehicle, ultimately the owner is responsible for the driver's actions. I'm responsible for my 18-year-old son, who drives my wife's vehicle under my insurance plan. I also have two more children approaching driving age. Parents of teenagers be- ware. Should a system that includes pic- tures of the actual driver, along with the offending vehicle plate be instituted, I can feel we will be addressing the prob- lem more effectively.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 22, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Circle of life returns to the 'squared circle' At a much younger age it would have been a dream come true, but today I won- der how I got myself into this. Back then the idea of seeing a live wrestling match, especially a 'Big event', with the top performers battling it out, would have had me walking on air every day leading up to the event. The world of the World Wrestling Federation, as it was known then, was so exciting I was willing to pay good money to see it on a closed-circuit screen in a cramped Oshawa Civic Auditori- um along with a few thousand other die-hard fans. It was Wrestlemania 2, and as I recall it, the event was so exciting, so well choreographed, everyone in that arena walked out buzzing after what they'd just seen. But, time passes and I have to laugh at how seriously I took it all back then. So it's ironic, here in my 30s, to imagine myself in Toronto last Sunday for SummerSlam. Where once it was Hulk Hogan versus King Kong Bundy, this time it was the Undertaker versus JBL for the heavyweight title of what is now World Wrestling Entertainment. So, the name and the characters have changed, but not much else based on what I saw Sunday night, other than the level of brashness displayed by the participants. Once it was simply vendettas and screaming, threatening and pos- turing from the wrestlers. Now it's a soap opera inside and outside the ring as full-blown stories un- fold. So, finally I come to the reason I re-entered the world of the 'squared circle'. My Little Brother in the mentor program of the Big Brothers organization, is a big fan of wrestling, just as I was at his age. So I was walking on air in the days leading up to SummerSlam, excited that I could be a part of ful- filling a dream for Jeremy to be there live, at something he is so ex- cited about. The wrestling was even pretty fun, too. I only hope he grows up and gets the same chance to return the favour to the next generation, as I did last week.

Cathi Carr, Senior Prevention Program Specialist for the WSIB, said the Young Workers Awareness Program functions to tell students in high schools what their rights are under the occupational health and safety act, and how they need to behave in the workplace. Ms. Carr said many young people get into trouble because they are trying to fit into their new work en- vironment and may 'go along'. She said not speaking up could be dan- gerous, with nine young workers losing their lives in 2003. "Young workers are 24 per cent more likely to be injured, with 13 ,500 injured severely enough each year to take time off work," she said. Another 47,000 young workers sustain injuries that don't require time off. "We're hopeful the message will get out there that there is some- thing we all can do to reduce the number of injuries," said Ms. Carr. Parents tend to believe their chil- dren will be safe on the job because authority at work is assumed, and as a result, they therefore tend to worry more about the trip to and from work as a hazard, she said. "The Ministry of Labour is work- ing to get safety courses into the school system," said Ms. Carr. "And high school guidance councillors al- ready have information on safety available."

The event sup- ports the Children’s Miracle Network and all proceeds from the sale of blizzards that day went to the cause. As well, the Pickering store held a car wash to raise additional funds. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo It’s difficult to estab- lish benchmarks and to comparison shop for a home renovator because people don’t shop for one as often as they shop for items such as shoes. Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart said that a home renovation project should be a well-thought out decision. It could cost thousands of dollars and will affect your family for many years — enlisting the help of an expert is key. The first step is informa- tion gathering. Visit show- rooms, websites and publi- cations to learn what prod- ucts are available on the market. Get an overview and then narrow it down to what you really want. “The next step is having a face-to-face meeting with a specialist, not a general- ist,” Beninato said. It’s important to work with a person you feel com- fortable with. A rapport has to be established as well as a bond of trust. HIRE A SPECIALIST General contractors usu- ally have the skill to oversee an entire project and often contract out specific parts of it. Specialists focus on one trade. They do it day-in, day- out. They usually work faster because there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to the work at hand. Beninato said that con- sumers should look for spe- cialists such as those at Plumbing Mart, who can give them exact start dates, progress time and a sub- stantial completion date. “Buyers should be care- ful about vague timelines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor can start work in March, does that mean at the beginning of March or at the end of that month? Your life could be turned upside down for a whole month.” Consumers should also ask how long a contractor has been in business. A con- tractor that just started his business may have great intentions, but may not be able to respond appropriate- ly if an unforeseen problem is encountered. “Plumbing Mart has been in business for more than 40 years. If there is a problem we can make five phone calls and come up with five different solu- tions.” An established specialist will also have experienced several home renovating trends throughout the years and come up with its own innovations. WARRANTY Wa r ranty is a key point. Always ask if it covers the product, service, labour or all three. If a bathtub comes with a manufacturer’s warranty only, will your contractor remove it at no cost so that you can claim your warran- ty from the manufacturer? Is the cost of labour going to be charged to you? Only a specialist that stands behind all facets of its work can give consumers the peace of mid that they deserve. IT’S YOUR DREAM When telling your cho- sen renovator about your dream room, will that per- son follow your agenda or his. A good renovator should be able to think out- side the box and have the resources to deliver what you want. Once you have agreed on an idea, that ren- ova tor should shop for all parts needed to complete the job. Ensure that your renova- tor also commits to dispos- ing of garbage and to leav- ing your home clean so that your family can start to enjoy the newly renovated kitchen or bathroom right away.

Limited Time Offer! mind www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 22, 2004 PAGE 11 A/P Security concerns being addressed at UOIT and Durham College By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer DURHAM –When students return to their campus pub this fall there will be no more live-to-air events and a sign-in policy for guests will be strictly en- forced. "We're also going to be open less," said Will Ellis, manager of E.P. Taylor's at Durham College and the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology. The student centre, which runs the pub, has spent the summer strengthening its in-house training for security staff in the wake of a fatal shooting there April 2. Eugene Moses, a 21-year- old national rugby cham- pion from Ajax, died of g unshot wounds to the chest after a pushing and shoving match erupted at the pub's entrance around 1:25 a.m. Charges have yet to be laid. The shooting took place during a live-to-air event hosted by Toronto radio station FLOW 93.5 FM. Pub management have since decided never again to stage such an event. "It's just always an un- known what type of people live-to-air events will bring in," Mr. Ellis explained. Rather than increasing its security staff of 15 to 20 people, E.P. Taylor's will concentrate on more in- house training throughout the school year for bounc- ers. "We could have had 90 people on and it wouldn't have made a difference," Mr. Ellis said, pointing to the randomness of the shooting. "I feel we've al- ways provided excellent training for staff. It just happened so quickly." Pub management also plans to concentrate more on its core events, opening E.P. Taylor's for only four nights a week instead of the previous six or seven. It will be open more during peak periods like Frosh Week. And the guest sign-up policy, which has always existed, will now be strictly enforced. "It's the students that pay a fee to use the bar," Mr. Ellis said. "Students can sign in a guest but they are responsible for them." Gary Pitcher, manager of student rights and re- sponsibilities, said his de- partment conducted a safety and security audit in the wake of the shoot- ing. Like Mr. Ellis, he feels there was little more cam- pus security could have done to prevent it. A total of 15 security guards were on duty that evening, he said. "I can't speak to the evi- dence, but no one can pre- dict someone showing up at your door with a gun. Nothing like this had ever happened at Durham be- fore," Mr. Pitcher said. "This was something that was a problem from out- side of the campus that came to us." In an effort to make stu- dents feel safer upon their return this fall, Mr. Pitcher said the college and uni- versity have increased the number of surveillance cameras around campus and enhanced the pres- ence of its security staff. "They've always been out there but now we're going to see how we can in- crease their profile," he added. E.P. Taylor's will be open for the first day of school Sept. 7.

Look at the whole picture to understand obesity rates: health official By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer DURHAM –A new study may point to Oshawa as one of the worst four cities in the country for obesity, but health officials here say Durham residents are pretty average. "It may have been mis- leading just to look at the best five or worst five cities because if you look at some of those statistics there's no difference between our community and Canada," said Mary-Anne Petrusiak, an epidemiologist with the Durham Region health de- partment. The study, by Statistics Canada’s Health Statistics Division, looked at 25 cen- sus metropolis areas (CMA) with a population of more than 100,000, using data from the 2000/2001 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Oshawa CMA, which in- cludes the communities of Oshawa, Whitby and Clar- ington, came in as the fourth worst urban centre with 18.1 per cent of the population aged 20 to 64 weighing in as obese. To ronto CMA, which in- cludes Ajax, Pickering, and Uxbridge, was at 12.1 per cent, while the Canadian mark is 14.9 per cent. "It's not to say obesity isn't a problem, but it's a Canadian problem, not an Oshawa problem," added Ms. Petrusiak. The study also looked at rates of smoking, heavy drinking, physical inactivi- ty, high blood pressure and life expectancy in Canada's major urban centres. Oshawa scored in the mid-range in most and its life expectancy rate was al- most identical to the Canadian average of 79.4 years, Ms. Petrusiak point- ed out. Toronto CMA had the second-highest life ex- pectancy in the country at 81.0, just behind Vancouver at 81.1. In the other cate- gories, it was at or around the national average. The high life expectancy among large urban centres like Vancouver and Toron- to has to do with higher in- come levels, but also the large immigration popula- tion that tends to settle in big cities, said Ms. Petrusi- ak. "They tend to have bet- ter lifestyle factors. They're less likely to smoke, and their diet is usually different," she added. Here in Durham Region, smoking has been on the decline, while obesity has steadily increased. Ac- cording to the CCHS, only 47 per cent of Durham Re- gion residents, aged 18 and older, had a healthy weight in 2001/2002. Two per cent were under weight, 35 per cent were overweight, and 16 per cent were obese. The Durham Region health de- partment stresses on its We b site those results are similar for Ontario. Ms. Petrusiak also pointed out life expectan- cy is gradually increasing in Durham and both in- fant and adult mortality rates are on the decline, as are cancers. "But with physical activ- ity and nutrition, we could do much better," she said.

At Jacqueline's School of Dance we ask ourselves one question every day, "are the programs we offer fun for everyone?" The answer has to be a resounding "Yes" or we are not doing things the way they should be done. The answer at Jacqueline's is YES! Of course there are more elements than just fun. The programs must be challenging. All dance skills must be taught properly. The routines must be disciplined. Any par- ent selecting a program for their child would look for all of these elements regard- less of whether it would be dance, hockey or any activity. Jacqueline's School of Dance offers pro- grams for everyone. Ages three and up are accepted. Programs include jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop, acrobatics, musical theatre, lyrical and highland. All programs are available at a recreational and competitive level. This season we are expanding our high- land program to include a highland troupe that will compete in highland festivals on an ongoing basis. In addition, our adult programs have become a staple of our business. We are offering classes for adults in jazz, tap, and hip-hop both recreationally and competi- tively. Not only is it great exercise, it’s great fun. Our competitive adult groups have won first place awards in every competition they entered last year. They kept up well with our entire competitive team who brought home hundreds of medals and tro- phies. Jacqueline's is the proud home of three Footloose Elite Dance Champions, Sarah (preteen), Stephanie (intermediate) and Jacqui (senior). So how do we offer all these programs in our facility? Well that has been a challenge we have dealt with over the past few sea- sons. As our numbers have grown we have managed to expand our hours to accommo- date all of the new students and the expanded interests of our returning stu- dents. This season we have taken a giant leap and are expanding our dance studio to meet the demand. We have expanded our space by 2,000 sq. ft. Not only do we have new space, we are in the process of reno- vating our existing studios, increasing the size of the studio and change rooms and upgrading the floors. We also have put in a homework and student lounge with a lunch and supper counter. When all is said and done, Jacqueline's will have four dance stu- dios operating Monday through Saturday. But wait, there's more. Jacqueline's is pleased to announce that the studio will be welcoming additional faculty. A great facility is one thing but excellent choreographers are really the reason for our success. In addition to our returning staff Fiona, Gwen and Jordana, we are joined by Michelle, Amy, and Lisa. Each one of them brings a specialty to the studio. We are confident that your dancers will love them too! We hope that this gives you a small overview of what we offer here at Jacqueline's School of Dance. Great dance lessons at a reasonable price (with no regis- tration fee), a great facility, and fantastic staff will all make your dance experience FUN!

Laurie Shaw (former competitor and accomplished coach) strives to meet the growing needs of recreational skating instruction. Laurie’s Learn To Skate has developed programs for children to foster skating skills, structure and self-confidence. Its ongoing success can be attributed to its dedicated & qualified team headed by Laurie Shaw. Laurie’s Learn To Skate carefully will arrange groups accordingly to age and ability, with the LOWEST student/instructor ratio in the area (6-2 for beginners & 6-1 for all other groups) Laurie’s Learn To Skate fall programs operate 5 days a week at Art Thompson Arena in Pickering and 5 days a week at their new Brooklin location. WE INSTALLED OUR SYNTHETIC ICE SURFACE IN PICKERING IN JANUARY 2000 with classes 7 days a week the need for another surface after 1 year was overwhelming therefore another surface was opened in February 2001 in Brooklin and had an overwhelming response to the new location. I’ve been running programs for children for the past 20 years. I have never seen as great of a change in the beginners as I have with this surface. Before we had the synthetic ice, we ran a Parent & tot program on the real ice. Sometimes we would spend 5 out of 10 classes just getting the child to stand alone, without assistance. On the synthetic ice, your child will learn to skate forward, backward, gliding and stopping. This is usually done within the first 3 lessons, and it’s all done without a SKATE AID OR PARENTAL ASSISTANCE. Incorporating practice on the real ice as much as possible will also aid in their progress. Your child will attend 1⁄2 hour class each week, which consists of a 20 min. lesson & 10 min. free skate at the end of each class. Real Ice Programs consist of a 30 minute lesson and a 10 minute free skate at the end of each class Laurie’s Learn To Skate has well-balanced Skating school built upon its great reputation and remaining unmatched by any others. Highlights of Laurie’s Learn To Skate are the year round skating program, birthday parties, the unique roller blade & Ice Skating camps. School Elective Programs, and the Get Ready for Hockey programs. In September of 1990, I walked through the studio doors wearing my pink tights, black bodysuit and ballet slippers ready to dance. My par- ents had enrolled me at the Denise Lester Dance Academy, a local dance studio on Kingston Road after a referral from a family friend. Little did we know that they had brought me to a place that I would call my home for the next 14 years. My earlier years as a dancer were typical. I would rise early every Saturday morning, dress for class and then work hard while in the studio. As a result of my hard work I completed various dance examinations in ballet, tap and jazz and was later asked to be on the competitive team. I remember how excited I was when my mom told me that Denise had asked her if I would like to be in a competitive group, as I looked up to the girls who competed. During my earlier years as a competitive dancer, I enjoyed attending classes, dancing at recitals and compet- ing at various competitions that took us as far as Las Vegas. I especially enjoyed winning various medals and trophies. However, as I grew up, I realized that competition was not all about winning. I no longer danced to win a first place trophy or an overall award. Instead, I danced for myself and found sheer enjoyment from entertaining my audi- ence. Dancing was not just about tech- nique, but about performing as well. Receiving a performance award meant more to me than winning a first place trophy, as it meant that everyone in the audience had known that I was danc- ing from my heart. Not only did my view on competition change but so did my view on the studio. Over the years I developed life long friendships with the teachers and girls at the studio and dance classes became more than just a time to dance but also a time to spend with friends. If I was having a bad day I always knew that as soon as I walked in the studio doors I could count on someone to hear my story and then make me laugh about the whole situation. I do not think I ever got through one dance class at the studio without at least cracking one smile. The environ- ment was so energizing as everyone was there for the same reason and that was to dance AND have fun. As I grew with the studio, so did my interests for teaching and choreography. I completed my associate exams with B.A.T.D. in jazz, tap, ballet and acrobat- ics and was a fully qualified teacher. In class I began to make up my own dance moves from incorporating differ- ent styles that I had seen over the years and quickly developed a passion for choreography. Whenever I heard a song I couldn’t help but think of new 420-9930 Ajax/Pickering 1885 Glenanna Rd. Suite #103 Enrol Now For All Programs.

They were not as successful as I would have liked, but Denise saw that I was passionate and serious about becoming a dance teacher and hired me for the following season. I had a difficult task on hand as I had proved myself as a dancer and now I had to prove myself as a choreographer. For my routines I chose music which suited my students style, incorporated movements which challenged them and made sure that it was a number where they were also able to entertain their audi- ence. I always stressed to my students that the most important thing when walking out onto that stage was to be yourself and to have fun. Over the last two years that I have taught at the studio my students have done extremely well, winning first place trophies, overall awards and presen- tation awards. However, what meant most to me was the fact that they all enjoyed themselves and gave me 100 per cent each class. This year was probably one of my most memorable years at the studio as I had fun, developed closer friendships with other teachers and got a lot accomplished. I taught competitive and recreational class- es again and also went for my examina- tion in hip-hop to become a member of B.A.T.D. I received highly commended on my examination receiving 100 per cent on my dance and 99.5 per cent on my theo- ry. I also auditioned for universities and colleges in the states and was accepted with a scholarship to Ithaca College in New York for a B.F.A. in acting, another passion I have. Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end. In June I participated in my last recital and many emotions came over me as I looked out into the audience; a sense of accomplish- ment and happiness, but most of all sadness as I would miss all that I had come to love. The dance stu- dio had become my second home over the years and now it was time to say good- bye. Saying good-bye was not easy, but it was time for me to move on and develop another talent of mine and share with others all that my teachers had taught me. I would not be where I am today if it was not for all of the people who sup- ported me over the years, so I would like to take the time to say thank you. Thank you to all of my students for work- ing so hard and for trusting me with their routines. To Suzie, Wendy, Alvin, Shannon, Tammy Tonya, Cindy and Maria, thank you for inspiring me to do my best. To my family; Mom, Dad, Shannon and Kathleen, thank you for putting up with me and as well, my grandparents for com- ing to all of my dance recitals. And last but certainly not least, to Denise, thank you for being the person that you are and for teaching me much more than just dance but also loyalty, discipline and ambition. You’re like a second mom to me and I know that you’ll always be there for me no matter what. I will always think of you as my dance teacher but most of all, one of my dearest friends.

In 1977 at age seven, Tammy start- ed to say, “when I grow up I want to own a dance studio and teach little children how to dance.” Tammy never let her dream die and in 1989 as she was graduating from high school she continued to say, “I still want to own a dance studio and teach children how to dance.” Tammy also thought that if she were to teach children she should continue her education and be a highly quali- fied teacher. Tammy enrolled in the Fine Arts program at Ryerson University and later graduated with Honours. She is continually involved in furthering her Fine Arts educa- tion and takes dance classes with some of the finest dance teachers in Canada and the United States. Tammy is The National Director for Miss Teen Dance of America. Tammy realized her dream immediately after graduation from Ryerson University and purchased Durham Dance Centre. Her first studio was fairly small at around 700 sq. ft. with mostly very young students. Tammy taught every class, ensuring that she got to know each student and worked hard on created a caring environment that the stu- dents and parents loved. Over the next few years, Tammy’s school grew very rapidly and she had to hire teachers and helpers to assist with the increasing class loads. However, Tammy realized at an early age that young children are precious and must ALWAYS receive very special attention. Her studio space has grown to over 7.000 sq. ft. and Tammy still teachs all of the entry level children at Durham Dance Centre. Durham Dance Centre takes pride in offering a bal- anced dance program consisting of recreation- al and competitive dance classes. Over the years, Tammy has put together a strong teach- ing team to ensure that Durham Dance Centre is second to none. Our teaching team creates an environment where all students are given an opportunity to experi- ence the wonderful world of dance. Durham Dance Centre recognizes that not all students aspire to have a professional career: they just love to dance. Durham Dance Centre always ensures that they have a place for those who choose to be a recreational dancer and they always make them feel just as important as competitive students. Tammy takes pride in creating this type of atmosphere at Durham Dance Centre. Durham Dance Centre offers classes in tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, acrobatics, hip hop, musical theater, kinderdance and stretch. All classes are taught by highly qualified teach- ers in bright, spacious studios. The teachers continually upgrade their skills by attending conventions and partici- pating in dance workshops throughout Canada and the United States. They have three studios, all with viewing windows so parents can see their children dance. Durham Dance Centre also has three comfortable lobby areas, giv- ing parents an opportunity to socialize and get to know one another. All aspects of the Durham Dance Centre operation are well planned, very well managed and skillfully executed. Tammy is the President and Artistic Director. Her mom manages the office and really is a second mom to the dancers. Tammy’s dad is always around the studio, ensur- ing that all issues related to studio maintenance and stu- dent safety are upheld. After a fun filled year of dancing, Durham Dance Centre finishes the year with an annual barbecue. It is held on the last Sunday of the dance year when they are preparing for their Year End Recital. The Year End show is held at the beautiful Markham Theatre for Performing Arts, incorpo- rating all dancers, both competitive and recreational. Durham Dance Centre finishes the year with a full week show at the theatre. Parents are elated about having an opportunity for their children to perform in a world-class theatre. Tammy is told time and time again that perform- ing in such an atmosphere leaves the dancers with life long memories and is a tremendous boost for their self-confi- dence. Enclosed is a snapshot of the family atmosphere at Durham Dance Centre. It’s an ideal location for a dance studio with highly motivated staff that brings the parents and dancers back year after year.

By design Education for our children needs to accommodate a child’s thirst for understanding while developing underlying individual cognitive capacity. This combination can be challenging because we each have a unique style for learning. While our brains are technically physically similar, the way we each shape the growth of neuron-based connections (our dendrites) determines what pathways-of-understanding and competencies we build. Hence, in each of us there are natural strengths and weaknesses. Both strengths and weaknesses need to be directly attended-to during the education process with strengths developed further and weaknesses corrected. The basis of this approach is an understanding of the human brain, its functions and, its dysfunctions. The unique school setting of Wasdell Centre for Innovative Learning provides accommodation to both sets of needs. Wasdell Centre offers two Schools, each independent of the other yet with the option for crossing over students as the need requires: First, The Arrowsmith Program provides direct intervention to correct learning differences (often referred to as dysfunctions). Second, our International Academy of Arts & Science provides an alternative main stream program for those wanting a bilingual world class education. Our Int’l Academy provides a unique opportunity for children and families who want access to a bilingual education with an international quality. (We are making application to receive certification by the International Baccalaureate Organization). With an International Baccalaureate Diploma a student has access to any university in the world and will be given pre- ferred consideration when regis- tering. Students will receive advanced standing from these universities which means savings in time and money towards achieving academic goals. Why? A school certified with The International Baccalaureate Organization has been deemed to provide World Class quality edu- cation that focuses on building interdisciplinary critical think- ing, synthesis of thought, world views and personal character balance important in the holistic development of the individual. Wasdell’s International Academy of Arts & Science is a bilingual private educational institution whose goal is to offer unique instructional and educa- tional settings through which students learn and excel in both English and French within a modern and technologically advanced student centered envi- ronment. This is a unique private school whose fundamental aim is to provide children with an exceptional well-rounded educa- tion and a truly comprehensive instructional program in English, French, mathematics, sciences, history, geography, computer science, music, arts, drama, physical education, health, char- acter education, method of study and a third language. The overall educational processes are geared to allow children to acquire considerable mastery knowledge and to devel- op strong critical thinking skills and attitudes that will be useful to them and beneficial in their life. Our aim is to nurture the qualities of respect for self and for others, and to cultivate the desire to serve the community. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their thoughts, words and deeds, to act with honour and purpose, and to make a difference in the complex glob- al society they have inherited. Wasdell’s International Academy consists of three divi- sions: 1. Kindergarten – age 3 - SK (1/2 or full day) 2. Junior - Grade 1 through Grade 7 (By the end of Grade 7 g rade 8 curriculum is complet- ed) 3. Senior - Level 1 through Level 5 (High School) starting 2005 French is introduced during Pre-K, JK, SK; French & English are shared Grades 1 to 5. English is the primary language from grades 6 and above. Supervised homework time can be included within the nor- mal school day. This provides the student with opportunity to be supervised by French and English speaking teachers. Wasdell’s International Academy/L’Académie Internationale is for any student and their families who are seri- ous about their education. This program provides the environ- ment, context and content required for individuals to become well rounded, high func- tioning successful leaders of our borderless society.

Or via e-mail e.moxley-paquette@wasdellcen- tre.org www.wasdellcentre.org Wasdell’s Int’l Academy of Arts & Science -- Wo r ld Class Mainstream Education For the child with learning dif- ferences their world can feel over- whelming. Repeated failure to g rasp concepts leaves them not only farther behind their peers aca- demically it leaves them vulnerable to feelings of depression, anger and low self-worth. The Arrowsmith Program is a program unlike most. It digs below the normal remediation process and addresses the underlying causes of learning dysfunction. The program is based on the concept of neuro- plasticity -- which is the belief that the brain is elastic, and that through mental exercise neural pathways can be stretched and strengthened. This view is supported by brain research conducted by Dr. Alexander Luria who studied Russian soldiers who suffered from war-inflicted brain wounds. He concluded that complex cognitive activities, such as reading, writing and mathematics, require the inter- action of several areas of the brain and that each individual brain area has a very specific role to play. If one brain area that is part of a spe- cific learning activity is impaired, the performance of that learning activity will be impaired in a way particular to the contribution of the weaker brain area. This impairment is the source of a specific learning dysfunction. Hence dysfunctions are the puz- zle pieces that contribute to learn- ing disorders. Here are the 19 dys- functions that the Arrowsmith Program directly addresses: 1) Messy handwriting, misreading, irregular spelling, speech rambling, careless written errors in mathe- matics, poor written performance. 2) Reversals of ‘b’-’d’; ‘p’-’q’, dif- f iculty reading a clock, needing to reread material to comprehend it, problem understanding cause and effect, trouble with mathematical reasoning 3) Trouble remembering oral instructions, difficulty following lectures or extended conversations, problem acquiring information through listening. 4) Difficulty putting information into one’s own words, speaking in incomplete sentences, difficulty using internal speech to work out consequences, trouble following long sentences, breakdown of steps in mathematical procedures. 5) Mispronouncing words, avoid- ing using words because of uncer- tainty of pronunciation, difficulty thinking and talking at the same time, flat and monotone speech with lack of rhythm and intonation, limited ability to learn and use phonics. 6) Mishearing words and thus mis- interpreting information, difficulty understanding someone with an accent, extra effort required to lis- ten to speech. 7) Problems with being self-direct- ed and self-organized in learning, limited mental initiative, difficulty keeping attention focused on task to completion, trouble seeing the main point and limited problem solving ability. 8) Poor word recognition, slow reading, difficulty with spelling, trouble remembering symbol pat- terns such as mathematical or chemical equations. 9) Problems with associative mem- ory, trouble learning how to read due to difficulty associating the word with its sound, trouble follow- ing auditory information. 10) Awkward body movements, bumping into objects due to not knowing where the body is in space relative to objects, uneven hand- writing with variable pressure. 11) A lack of clear articulation of speech, some speech slurring. 12) Problem interpreting non-ver- bal information such as body lan- guage, facial expression and voice tone, difficulty registering and interpreting one’s own emotions, weak social skills. 13) Slow, jerky reading with errors, eyes fatigue when reading, problem navigating in the dark. 14) Trouble finding objects, prob- lem remembering visual cues such as landmarks, difficulty remember- ing faces and recalling the visual details of pictures. 15) Frequently getting lost, losing objects, messy disorganized work- space, trouble constructing geo- metric figures 16) Difficulty understanding the mechanical properties of objects, problems constructing or repairing e.g. a bicycle. 17) Trouble understanding the proper sequence of steps in a task such as sewing, cooking or com- puter programming. 18) Poor muscle tone, which results in some degree of awkwardness and slowness of body movement. 19) Finger counting, trouble retain- ing numbers in one’s head, difficul- ty making change, problem learn- ing math facts, poor sense of time management. The prescriptive responses to the dysfunctions are different forms of brain-based exercise. In many ways the remediation plan is physiotherapy for the brain.

A gymnastics club that’s out of this world! Do you sometimes wish you could send your kid to another planet? Why not send them to one where they can have fun and exercise their body and mind? Now in its third year, Planet Gymnastics is a recreational facility that offers gymnastic classes where kids can have fun, get active and work out their minds. “Gymnastics is an excellent sport for developing your child’s success in other sports and activities,” says Shawn Campbell, Planet Gymnastics co-owner and coach. “It also helps with future ambitions.” Mr. Campbell, who runs the facility with his wife Denise, graduated from Seneca College’s Professional Coaching program, with a concentration on beginner and advanced gymnastics. He has been a profes- sional gymnastics coach for over 15 years and has trained many champion athletes. It was through his studies at Seneca that he discovered the benefits of gymnastics train- ing for kids. It was also when he realized his dream of opening a recreational gym- nastics facility. Planet Gymnastics offers a variety of classes, seven days a week, with something for kids as young as 18 months and pro- grams for teens as old as 15. The Parent and Tot program, for example, is for kids between the ages of 18 months to three years and is a great opportunity for you to have fun and engage in playtime with your child in a unique environment. This class is a great way to improve your child’s physical ability as well as their social skills. For three- to five-year-olds there is Kinder Gymnastics, a class full of fun activities, games and circuits that require preliminary gymnastic skills. In this program they will improve their balance, strength and flexibili- ty and will gain their self-confidence. The Recreational program is for kids over the age of five and it follows the CANGYM level system, which includes all of the gym- nastic events. As your child successfully learns increasingly difficult skills, they will progress through the ranks of CANGYM. All Planet Gymnastics instructors ensure that the skills are learned properly before kids progress to the next level. For dancers, cheerleaders, and for kids who are just full of energy, Planet Gymnastics offers Tumble and Bounce tram- poline classes. This two-hour class is filled with lots of energy, bouncing and fun. A unique feature about Planet Gymnastics is its equipment. Their centre attraction is a three-storey play centre, with a separate ball pit and specialty training equipment for tod- dlers. They also have a 40-foot tumbling trampoline, plus equipment that is made especially for kids as well as all the tradi- tional gymnastics equipment such as uneven bars, rings, single bars and balance beams. Classes run throughout the year, including a summer camp, with a special gold medal presentation held each June. The year is also commemorated with class photos. Not only is Planet Gymnastics a great place where kids can enjoy recreational gymnastics, it’s also a great setting for birth- day parties. In fact, birthday parties are one of their specialties. “Birthday parties have become very pop- ular,” says Mr. Campbell. “Often they are booked at least three months in advance.” The birthday party gets the entire gym to themselves, with access to the play centre, and participates in a variety of warm-ups and games that are directed by a coach. After a fun-filled activity session, the guests retire to the private party room, which is stocked with all the necessities for chowing down (i.e. dishes, cutlery etc.). There are a variety of birthday packages to choose from. To learn more about Planet Gymnastics visit them at 1755 Plummer Rd., Unit #8, or contact them at 905-839-7669. Passion. Spirit. Triumph.

O’Brien’s Facility revvs up for a new year You are about to discover one of the most established, talented, dynamic and exceptional dance education schools in all of Durham Region. The O’Brien Dance Centre has served the communities of Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Scarborough in the past 18 years. Thousands of students have and are still dancing through the doors of The O’Brien Dance Centre. And who can blame them with the talent that is pro- duced at this dance studio. Many of O’Brien’s alumni have successfully fulfilled a career in dance or entertainment. Former students can been seen perform- ing with The National Ballet, The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Quinte Ballet School, The Toronto Rock Dance Team, Toronto Blue Jay Dance Team, Toronto Phantom Dance Team, Deerhurst Resort ‘Sing’ Show, Toronto Argonaut Dance Team, Television and Film. Not only is The O’Brien Dance Centre proud of their students they have excep- tional dance instructors that bring vast dance knowledge and experience. O’Brien’s competitive director, Breanne Ross is currently in her third year of teaching. She is extremely proud of all her students and enjoys teaching and watch- ing them compete all over Ontario and soon in the United States. “This is a wonderful facility with a posi- tive atmosphere. With 55 competitive stu- dents, we are looking at a big year and the children are going to do great. They love what they do and it’s great to walk into a class and teach children everything you know,” says Ross. As a high school performing arts teacher at The Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts, Marlene Engenheiro brings 12 years of experience to O’Brien’s. Certified in both the British Association Teachers of Dance and the Canadian Dance Association, Engenheiro teaches recre- ational tap, jazz, hip-hop and modern to students from ages six to adult. “This is a fun and comfortable place to be, the students and their family are very nice, and we all have a great time,” says Engenheiro. O’Brien’s ballet instructor, Andrea Leggatt has received her teaching certificate from the Royal Academy of Dancing and a Performing Arts diploma from George Brown College. She has been with O’Brien’s for four years and really enjoys what she does. “It’s a great studio and the chil- dren work really hard. I think our environment is very helpful for the students because we have such small classes (only 10 to 15 students per class), which gives the students more one-on-one attention,” says Leggatt. As well, the newly renovated studio provides an inviting atmosphere for par- ents and students to interact with the instructors. The Centre is designed with two bright, air-conditioned studios with wood-sprung floors. A large newly carpet- ed foyer with adjoining office welcomes parents. The Centre provides a large change room with coat hooks and shelves for the dancers. And the front studio Marlene Engenheiro Andrea Leggatt Learning really can be a happy thing when students know how to learn. Oxford Learning's unique curriculum and internationally rec- ognized assessment tools give stu- dents the skills to achieve better grades, more self confidence and increased motivation. 905-420-3141 PICKERING/AJAX www.oxfordlearning.com Reading Writing Math French Study Skills • BALLET • JAZZ • TAP • POINTE • CREATIVE • HIP HOP • MUSICAL THEATRE • ACRO Quality Training In A Caring Environment Ages 3 to Adult • Beginners to Advanced • Male & Female • Great Prices • Family Discounts • Sprung Floor Recreational & Competitive programs “We make all our dancers feel special” FOR A POSITIVE DANCE EXPERIENCE CALL TERRI AT 905-686-8335 682 MONARCH AVE.

Ilove to listen to the parents as they drop off their children at the dance studio. They almost always say, “Bye, have fun!” I love it most when they are saying it to one of our serious senior competitive dancers, who has won numerous awards and scholarships and fully intends, in some aspects, to pursue dance as a career. Still, mom and dad say, “Have fun!” Dancing is fun. Even when you are working so hard that the sweat drips off the tip of your nose - it’s still fun. Even our famous dancing dads have fun! From almost the moment they can stand, children begin to wiggle and move. Sometimes still on their hands and knees they will rock back and forth to music. That instinctive, natural love of dance is what we as dance teachers should be nurturing and encouraging. Good technique does not develop in a day or month. If a child has a pleasant experience at a dance class, that child will leave the class happy and look for- ward to returning. If that child enjoys dance class all year long, and has a great time at the recital, then not only will that child be excited to return in September, but will usually also want to take more classes. One day you will turn around and realize that those “children” are now confident, outgoing young dancers with beautiful technique. I love to watch my dancers perform on a stage. From as young as three years old, you can see their little personalities already shining through. When our competitive team is performing, those smiles are completely genuine, because they love to dance for an audience. They also know that no matter what may go wrong during the number, they have a wonderful support group of friends, parents and teachers waiting for them when they get off stage. This summer, our competitive dancers performed at Whitby Hospital, Hillsdale Manor in Oshawa and at Tania’s Place in Ajax. They were not paid for these performanc- es over their holidays, nor did they come away from them with any shiny medallions, yet they came in great numbers, danced beautifully, spread joy and had a wonderful time. I can not even describe how proud I was. Over the past 15 years, I have had the immense pleasure of watching many, many children and adolescents develop a strong and true love for the art of dance. Maria, Amber, Jen and I all love what we do and what we do is teach DANCE. Wherever you dance, I sincerely wish you all a very happy Dance Experience. Submitted by Terri Robitaille, B.F.A.

Liverpool School of Martial Arts kicking their way into fall For 13 years Carl Stedmond has been creating the ultimate martial arts and fitness centre located right here in Pickering called The Liverpool School of Martial Arts. This activity centre offers much more than martial arts and physical activity; it’s a place where you can create a wellness for your body, mind and spirit. With three different martial arts styles from Shotokan Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing and Carl Stedmond’s two-signature fitness pro- grams, SkipFit™ and Kickboxercise™. One of the hottest workouts out there and growing more rapidly each day is SkipFit™. This is a program that targets cellulite. That’s right, an exercise that completely focuses on problem areas due to cellulite. Kickboxercise™ is another way you can get your blood pumping. Carl Stedmond, or one of the 19 black belt instructors and coaches, combines the proper technique of kickboxing with aero- bic activity. Both of these programs are conducted in a club-like atmosphere with base-pumping music and strobe lighting. And don’t forget, you can pick up a copy of Carl Stedmond’s SkipFit™ video and continue your workout regimen at home. The Liverpool School of Martial Arts combines these art forms with balance and fitness to give your overall body the energy and excitement it needs to func- tion. Besides offering classes for all ages, the centre also features an innovative After School Program (A.M.P.). For five years, program director Susan Carlevaris has been providing the City of Pickering with an extraordinary service that alleviates stress from working parents regarding their child’s after school activi- ties. Upon many other things, what is so unique about this A.M.P is that transporta- tion from school to the program is provid- ed at no extra cost. As children get older, they need more stimulation, more activity in order to keep their blood pumping and the brain run- ning. The A.M.P is set to do just that with a daily martial arts lesson, indoor gym area for organized games such as soccer, quiet area for board games and dedicated homework time. Pick up starts anywhere between 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. For those P.A. days, The A.M.P offers a full day of super- vised activities at no extra cost.

This week I thought it would be important to address problems that can arise from a 60 kilometer walk, especially if it takes place over two days. Multi-day events become a challenge because the weather can change from one day to the next. Be prepared with extra shoes and socks. Warm weather can lead to increased swelling of feet, which usually worsens when you are off your feet. To adjust to feet swelling, some people carry an extra pair of shoes that are a size larger or have a pair with the toes cut out. Elevating feet as well as frequently icing will decrease swelling. Different thickness of socks will take less room in shoes for feet that swell. One of the most common problems we have all experienced is blister formation. Without proper knowledge on ho w to prevent and manage blisters, they will manage you.

In order to prevent blisters, friction must be reduced. This can be achieved by wearing double layered socks, keeping feet dry with powders, changing socks often and using foot lubricants. There are different theories and methods to treat blisters should they occur. Some will pad the area (but the bulk of the pad can change the fit of your shoe leading to other pressure points). Others will drain a blister using alcohol and a sterile needle and then dress the area with an antibiotic and a blister care product. Never drain a blister if the fluid appears hazy, cloudy or bloody. Dehydration during long periods of exertion can lead to a loss of electrolytes. Low sodium levels can lead to fluid accumulation in the hands and feet. As was mentioned earlier, feet that swell can develop hot spots due to increased friction and these will soon blister. Drinking water will not replenish the needed electrolytes. Every prepared walker or runner always has a foot kit in case a problem occurs before reaching a professional or medical station. This kit should include alcohol wipes, a nail clipper or pin, powder (kept in a small film container), moisturizer cream, antiseptic cream, duct tape or blister care products and specifically needed pads or knee and ankle supports. Prevention will keep you walking comfortably for miles, however if a problem occurs, you should always be prepared. Good luck to all of the walkers and remember what they say about an once of prevention. Multi-day events become a challenge because the weather can change from one day to the next.

See page 41 Ajax girl’s been taking on older foes and coming out on top By Paul Futhey Staff Writer AJAX – Playing basketball against older players is a fact of life for Kalisha Keane. Not only that, it likely will have to remain that way for her impressive progression in the sport to continue. Keane, who led the Whitby Sinclair Celtics senior girls’ bas- ketball team to a LOSSA title as a Grade 9 student last year, was most recently a main cog in a Team Ontario champion at the national girls’ under-17 champi- onships held in Saskatoon. And she doesn’t turn 16 until next February. Plus, in the weeks before going to Saskatoon, the Ajax resident made her international debut — against players three years her senior. Keane was the youngest member ever on the Canadian women’s under-18 team that won bronze at the FIBA Americ- as World Championship Qualifi- cation Tournament in Puerto Rico. “It’s a different kind of pace,” Keane says of her first interna- tional hoops experience. “It’s re- ally aggressive. The rules are a lot more lenient.” Despite limited minutes in the five games in Puerto Rico, Keane, who splits time between forward and guard, still man- aged 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Getting that initial interna- tional experience is critical for Keane’s future development, says Denise Dignard, manager of Canada Basketball’s women’s elite performance program. “She certainly has court vision I’ve rarely seen,” says Dignard. “It’s pretty exciting to see some- one with that kind of potential.” The key word, of course, being potential, Dignard adds. “She has the tools, she has some skills. She needs to work on the skills and the work habits to take her to the next level.” By finishing in the medals, Canada, for the first time, has earned a spot at the Under 19 World Championships to be held next year in Tunisia from July 15 to 24. Canada’s previous best finish in the international quali- fying tournament, held every two years since its inception in 1988, was fourth spot. By the time the cycle begins again with the under 18 championships in 2006, Keane, who plays club ball with the Ajax Lions, will still be eligible to don Canada’s colours with a year to spare. With Team Ontario in Saska- toon, she poured in 12 points (along with eight rebounds, seven assists and five steals) in the championship win, a 77-54 Ontario victory over Alberta, as Ontario romped to a 5-0 record overall. Keane, along with three of her teammates, was named to the tournament’s first all-star team, thanks in part to 12.2 points per game average. She’s come a long way for someone who only began play- ing when she was in Grade 5 at Cadarackque Public School in Ajax. She opted for Sinclair as her choice of high school for a combination of athletic and aca- demic reasons. Fur ther down the road, she harbours dreams of playing at a Division I school, in the Olympics and professionally in the WNBA, where idols Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury and Swin Cash of the Detroit Shock ply their trade. Keane led all scorers in the LOSSA quad-A final last No- vember, putting up 22 points in a 59-35 Sinclair win over Port Perry High School. Since then, though, her international expe- rience has shown her a much greater challenge. “I’ve got to keep my fitness level up,” she says. “The pace in- ternationally is a lot faster than high school or club.” Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo She’s got game AJAX – Tynisha McDowell and her teammates from Scarborough were un- stoppable on the court recently, as they captured the Under-14 division title at the NBA 3-on-3 Hoop it Up event in Toronto.

Pickering girls too much for West Rouge competitors PICKERING — The Pickering Power Storm girls’ under-11 ‘A’ rep soccer team blitzed the com- petition en route to the champi- onship at the 12th annual West Rouge Challenge Soccer Tourna- ment in Scarborough recently. The Power dominated the tournament from beginning to end winning all five games and outscoring their opponents 14-1. The championship game pit- ted the Power against Vaughan Vipers, with the Pickering girls cruising to a 2-0 victory. To get to the final, the Pickering squad overpowered Clairlea-Westview 3-0 in the semifinals. Katherine Mitchell, Haley Henderson, Ash- ley Tait, Annalisa Iacobucci and Madison Marmina scored for Pickering in the final and semifi- nal contests. Pickering started the tourna- ment by winning all three pre- liminary games, including wins over Ajax Thunder (4-0), Clair- lea-Westview (2-0) and Vaughan Vipers (3-1). Bianca Munch, Henderson, Tait, Mitchell and Iacobucci each registered goals in round-robin play. The stingy Power defence of Taylor Warrington, Katrina Jegg, Kelly Bishop, Nicole Mayers and Connie Cancellara was nearly impenetrable throughout the tournament, providing a rela- tively quiet time for goalkeeper Linzee Exner, who still made several big saves when called upon. Cancellara, the smallest defender, constantly thwarted any efforts from opposing strik- ers. Strong corner kicks from Hen- derson and Munch and accurate throw-ins by Bishop directly re- sulted in goals. Other team members are Dana Murphy, Sarah Donaldson and Sarah Diosi. Frank Mitchell, Dorne Munch and Tom Warrington coach the team.
