After several failed attempts to have the Duffin Creek water pollu- tion control plant reassessed, the City was about to withdraw its ap- peal when an assessment review board said the property in south Pickering was actually worth less than previously thought, a report to Wednesday’s finance and ad- ministration committee said. The City said parts of the plant should be included in the assess- ment, which would have added $12.7 million to the value. But the board disagreed, and found some land, buildings and structures actually reduced the value by $4.7 million to $28.5 mil- lion. The Region did not agree with Pickering’s view and defended against it. The result is a win-lose which equals itself out, the report said: the Region will have to pay less in property taxes for the site, but will collect less from residents because of the decreased value. The plant is co-owned by the regions of York and Durham and serves both areas. L andfills and business recycling needed, association reports By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — Garbage disposal here is on the verge of a crisis and will cross the threshold if the border to Michigan ever closes, an industry association says. With 3.5 million tonnes of waste shipped to Michigan landfills in 2004 (200,000 tonnes of which has come from Durham Region since 2003), Ontario’s landfill sites could not handle a border clo- sure for more than two days, said Rob Cook, executive director of the Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA). “That would be the doomsday circumstance that no one wants to think about,” he said. But the organization that rep- resents private sector waste man- agement and recycling companies says a plan is desperately needed. Mr. Cook pointed to the lat- est mad cow crisis in May 2003, when the border was closed for 11 hours. Within that time, every waste transfer station was full, Mr. Cook said. During the Toronto gar- bage strike in the summer of 2002, garbage bags piled up in tennis courts and parks. If another border closure strikes, Ontario would have no choice but to store garbage on landfill sites and slowly compact it, Mr. Cook said. The Region of Durham’s con- tract with Miller Waste says the company has to find another site for the Region’s garbage if the bor- der closes. Other options in the contract specify Ohio, Pennsylva- nia and Napanee, near Kingston, said Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis. “Ontario is the worst jurisdiction in Canada when it comes to ensur- ing it has the capacity to manage its own waste,” said the OWMA’s Nigel Wilson. “No other province ships more than one-third of its garbage destined for landfill to another jurisdiction, let alone an- other country.” The solution, the association said, is more landfill capacity to meet current and future demands, 35.2//-3s7).$/73s2//&).' 905-686-2445 Visit our showroom 239 Station St., Ajax Manufacturer of SUNROOMS & WINDOWS NEW WHITBY CAMPUS OPEN HOUSE www.blaisdale.com 12 mths - grade 8 5 Campuses in Durham Call Head Office 905-509-5005 Blaisdale MONTESSORI School SPACES AVAILABLE IN AJAX & PICKERING PRE-TODDLER PROGRAM (12 mo.-18 mo.)

The Region is currently exploring an in- Durham solution to waste, which includes look- ing at incinera- tion and energy from waste and increased recy- cling and green bins. But even w ith incinera- tion, an ash-like substance is left over and the area must be landfilled, Mr. Curtis said. The speed of approvals granted for new landfill and other waste options also needs to be looked at, bal- anced with protecting the environment. “While there’s a need for infrastructure and disposal, the process for approvals is ex- tremely lengthy,” Mr. Cook said. “You can spend a lot of time and a lot of money and come to the end with nothing.” And with two- thirds of Ontario’s waste generated by busi- nesses, companies also have to be held account- able, Mr. Curtis added. “(Businesses) are less dil- igent on recycling because it’s more expensive than landfill,” he said. Mr. Cook agreed, saying the industrial-commer- cial-institutional sector supports some increased government control that is enforced, unlike what hap- pens now with regulations under the provincial gov- ernment. Residential garbage and recycling is a municipal re- sponsibility, he added. infodurhamregion.comCliff Curtis ✦ Region, From Page 1 General Motors once again sets the gold standard Carmaker’s local plants ranked first for quality By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — In the midst of a difficult year, General Motors (GM) Corp. received some welcome news this week, and it came from its Durham Region operation. In the results of its annual survey, J.D. Power and As- sociates announced that the company’s two car assem- bly plants in Oshawa cap- tured first and second place awards, for vehicle quality. According to the study, Oshawa’s Plant 2, which manufactures the Buick Century, Buick Allure and Pontiac Grand Prix, won the Gold Plant Quality Award, with only 85 problems re- ported per 100 vehicles. Plant 1, which makes the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, placed second with 89 problems per 100 vehicles. The industry average is 118 problems per 100 vehicles. “For years we’ve been tell- ing GM that if they invest in Oshawa, members of Local 222 can build them better than anyone in the world, and this proves it,” said CAW Local 222 president Chris Buckley. “This will be great for sales. Consumers take quality seriously. When they read these results they will be more prone to go to a dealership and look at the products.” Mr. Buckley added that a sales boost could lead to a third shift at Plant 2, creating up to 1,000 new jobs. J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study measures 135 factors in nine categories such as braking, engine and trans- mission and others. This year, 62,000 American own- ers were polled within 90 days of vehicle purchase. In addition to winning the plant quality awards, the Buick Century was ranked the No. 1 vehicle built in North America. As well, the Buick Century and Chevrolet Impala earned first and sec- ond place in the premium mid-size segment, and the Pontiac Grand Prix, third. This is the third time in four years Oshawa’s plants have been rated best in North and South America. Region looking at incineration option Pickering hospital has pediatricians scheduled for most of month By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — There will be babies born at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital in June. The hospital has been working to fill the pediatric call schedule in an effort to keep the maternity ward open. “Everybody has been pulling together to find the doctors to fill the shifts,” said Hume Martin, hospi- tal president and chief ex- ecutive officer. “We have all shifts filled now but six. Staff really are working hard to fill those six spots.” The hospital was facing a situation where as of June 8 there wasn’t going to be enough pediatricians to cover all shifts. The hospital was con- templating either tempo- rarily transferring all ob- stetrics and pediatrics to its Centenary site or having other doctors help with de- liveries. The shortfall is because three pediatricians with Rouge Valley are leaving, while a fourth is on mater- nity leave. Two of those are at the Ajax site and two are at Centenary. Mr. Martin sent out a let- ter to staff earlier this week indicating all but six days of the June call schedule had been filled. “We are planning to maintain our current level of obstetrical and pedi- atrics services during the month of June,” Mr. Martin said. He added Dr. Rosemary Moodie, chief of pediatrics, is going to be working with her medical colleagues to develop a call schedule for July through Septem- ber so gaps can be identified well in advance. A physician recruitment task force has also been established. It includes physi- cians, front-line staff, community members, board represen- tation, and staff from the municipalities of Toronto (Scarborough), Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. Its goal is to recruit and retain new pediatricians. “The most important thing in the long term is community support to di- rect pediatricians into this com- munity and have them stay here,” Mr. Martin said. The hospital stressed the mu- nicipalities are going to play a key role. “It really comes down to market- ing the commu- nity so physicians know it is a great place to work, play and live,” said Katie Cronin-Wood, hospital spokeswoman. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 22, 2005 PAGE 3 P Maternity ward now alive throughout June Two children seriously hurt in Hwy. 401 crash PICKERING — Two chil- dren were seriously hurt when a Sarnia family’s car was rear-ended by a truck on Hwy. 401 Tuesday night, police said. Whitby OPP said the acci- dent, in the eastbound lanes of the freeway near Whites Road, occurred at 11:30 p.m. as the victims followed their broken-down motor home. The group was bound for an east coast vacation when they experienced problems with the motor home. They were following the tow truck in a Honda when a tractor trailer struck the small car from behind, forcing it into the back of the motor home, police said. Five people in the car were injured, two of them seri- ously. A 15-year-old girl was airlifted to Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto, while her two-year-old brother sustained serious facial inju- ries, police said. Three men in the car, aged 34, 30 and 23, were treated at hospital and released. The truck driver was not injured. The tow truck driver was slightly hurt. Police continue to inves- tigate the accident and are seeking witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Ritchie at 905-668-3388.

Garage sale benefits Glengrove program By Jennifer Bradley Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — Sell your used items and help build a healthier future. The Glengrove Breakfast Club is holding a fund- raising garage sale Saturday, June 4 from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Since February 2000, the club has been provid- ing children at Glengrove Public School with their first meal of the day, offering a choice of toast, ba- gels, cereals, juices, and specials such as waffles, pancakes, and scrambled eggs. Most recently the program has been told grants will be given to organizations that are contribut- ing funds on their own. Katherine Fleming, one of three club co-ordinators, described it as “prepar- ing organizations for when there will be no grants and having to sustain on our own.” The garage sale is one of the ideas co-ordinators came up with to raise funds. For $20, residents and groups can rent a table to sell items. All money from sales go to the table operator, while the $20 fee goes to the breakfast club. The club is also accepting donated items and will sell them for profits benefiting the program. “It’s important that we keep the program in place because without it a lot of children are not receiving a proper breakfast,” says Ms. Fleming The event is at Glengrove Public School, 1934 Glengrove Rd., in Pickering. To donate in ad- vance, to rent a table, or for more information, call Ms. Fleming at 905-831-7050. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 22, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P BONUSPAKBONUSPAKBONUSPAKPAK Join these Advertisers who have taken full advantage of the savings offered in the BonusPak PPleaseRelease Registerat:gister at : www.mdg.ca/contestwww.mdg.ca/contest YOU WILLRECYOU WILL RECEIVEEIVE FREEFREE CORELSUITECOREL SUITE ((retailvalue$249)retail value $249) JUSTFORREGISTERINGJUST FOR REGISTERING (shippingandhandlingfeenotincluded)(shipping and handling fee not included) LookLook Insideyour Inside your BONUSPAKBONUSPAK EnvelopeCoverEnvelope Cover fforor DetailsDetails..

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,MAY 22, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Avian flu pandemic a cause for worry R eadiness must be stepped up so we’re prepared when sickness hits Durham N early 1,400 people could die in Durham Region from an avian flu pandemic. And a report from the Region’s health committee says this is not an if scenario, but rather a when. Such an outbreak would make the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) disaster of 2003 look mild by comparison. We all remember the panic raised in the community and the extreme measures taken at Lakeridge Health Corporation to defeat SARS. A meeting of Durham Region’s social services committee last week revealed a contradictory message from Ross MacEachern, manager of environmental health. Mr. MacEachern said the “numbers are pretty staggering,” adding “hospitals in Durham probably couldn’t handle an extra 10 patients right now.” Later in the meeting, however, he cautioned, “We also don’t want to create panic. “We feel pretty comfortable that, if a pandemic hit in the near future, Durham would be able to deal with it.” He was responding to a health report projecting between 479 and 1,390 deaths in Durham Region over a 12-month period should an avian flu pandemic occur. The report also projects between 1,306 and 4,606 people here would require hospitalization and a staggering 233,090 would need outpatient care. Clearly, avian flu — also known as bird flu, a contagious viral infection found in bird droppings — is potentially a disaster waiting to happen. People have died in southeast Asia from avian flu and con- cerns about the prospects of it passing quickly through air traffic are daunting. It is important that plans for readiness be stepped up. The World Health Organization is monitoring the situation and now has, including Canada, some 30 countries preparing pandemic plans. Canada and Ontario have prepared plans but are working on revisions. What’s worrisome is the lack of capacity in our health system to deal with disasters. Already overburdened emergency rooms and hospital wards will not be able to handle the load should an avian flu pandem- ic hammer us. We would be left without the needed resources to look after people. The feds and Province, in concert with the Region, should look to their SARS experiences in devising a comprehensive plan to deal with a potential pandemic. Lives hang in the balance. We have to stay true to our culture To the editor: Re: ‘Charting a diverse future for Ajax and Pickering,’ May 15. Alton Atkinson believes that if Ajax increases its municipal response to the needs of cultural residents, that economic growth and political involvement will grow as well. Certainly a most commendable goal, provided that we don’t unduly compromise our own Canadian culture in so doing.

Canada doesn’t function well under minority rule I f anything’s become clear over these last few weeks of federal political games, it’s that minority governments are likely here to stay for the near future. It just seems that neither the Liberal nor the Conservative parties can do anything to inspire the masses. In fact, the parties are doing their best to truly infuriate the public. That’s reflected in the fact one day the Liberals top the polls, the next it’s the Conservatives. These frequent swings in emotion show an uncertain electorate that they will likely continue to fracture the vote and leave us with minority after minority. And, if our current minority govern- ment is any indication, and there’s noth- ing to suggest it’s not, that means more turmoil and games from our federal lead- ers for the foreseeable future. Which of course only leads to one place — frequent elections as one leader tries to outdo the other and grab majority power. All this shines an interesting new light onto the notion of proportional represen- tation, which the NDP frequently champi- ons given the party will never be anything more than a prop for a minority gov- ernment or our country’s self-appointed social conscience. The party stands to be the biggest winner under proportional representation, and the public the biggest loser. While the issue of electoral reform has been discussed at length over the years, it’s received fresh legs particularly over the last few years. Just this week in British Columbia, a referendum on a compli- cated new provincial voting system was narrowly defeated. The argument goes that under the cur- rent system, a party can take a majority of seats in a legislature, without a majority of votes cast. With proportional represen- tation, the makeup of a government is more in line with how the entire elector- ate voted. But under proportional representation, we’d likely almost always be living in a mi- nority state. The last 10-plus months have given us a glimpse into that future and it’s an ugly, crippling mess. At least there is some hope under the current system that once the Liberals and Conservatives get their houses in order, we’ll eventually get a government with a mandate to govern. Canada is best served by having two strong national parties that offer clear vi- sions. Then every four years voters can decide if the ruling party deserves more time or if it’s time for a new approach. To ny Doyle’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail tdoyle@durhamregion.com.

Keeping healthy and fi t has never been this fun By Lee Waddington One of Ajax’s best-kept secrets is EveryBody Workout For Women. Located in south Ajax in the Discovery Bay Plaza on Westney Road. This wonderful club has successfully grown by word of mouth advertising by its members who love its fast, fun and friendly atmosphere. This female only 30-minute workout centre allows average to plus size women the ability to get a highly effective workout in only 30 minutes, without the fear of embarrassment and intimidation that have kept them out of traditional fitness clubs. At EveryBody Workout, they focus in on using hydraulic machines and aerobic recovery stations, which uses fluid to develop resistance much like you would experience in a swimming pool. Unlike other 30-minute workout facilities, their gym uses double hydraulic equipment. This gives the individual resistance in both directions, allowing two muscles to be targeted at once in opposing directions. With their hydraulic equipment, a minimal amount of pressure is applied to the joints of the body compared to conventional weight training. Also, unlike many other gym facilities, EveryBody Workout’s double hydraulic equipment is adjustable. Each resistance settings are adjusted on a three week rotation to challenge the body in different ways. EveryBody Wo r kout will help you burn up to 800 calories, lose body fat, decrease risk of osteoporosis, reduce risk of heart disease, reduce risk of diabetes, improve attitude and last but not least, reduce stress. On EveryBody Workout’s member board, they also provide healthy recipes, diet tips, humour and general community information. Their exceptional staff and friendly atmosphere provides an excellent weight loss and training environment for their clientele. So why wait any longer? Join the fun and come in for a free one-week trial. For more information contact 905- 427-9503 or visit their web site at www. everybodyworkout.com.

Too many people believe that dentures are good for 20 years. Nothing could be further from the truth! The removable prosthesis is made of a hard, rigid mate- rial. Your face, mouth and jaw, change over the years. Be- cause it can not adapt to these changes and because artificial teeth wear down with time, a prosthesis cannot do its job effectively for more than about five years. This reality can have devastating consequences that are often invisible and imperceptible to the wearer of a worn-out-denture. Here is a short list of the most harmful possible effects suffered by wearers of prosthesis more than five years old: • softening of the tissues • painful, irritated tissues • more laborious chewing and difficult digestion • headaches, earaches, neck pain and joint problems • sagging mouth, pointed chin and prematurely old face • accelerated resorption of the bone ...and this only a partial list! Ve ry few people maintain their prosthesis properly. Some even neglect to remove it for the night. Don’t take chances with your health! See your denturist annually. W hen was the last time you saw your denturist? Let your smile shine through! Pickering Denture clinic is located in Loblaws Market at Liverpool and Hwy. #2.

The Samji Clinic in Scarborough and Mississauga treat children with a variety of conditions using a brain based treatment approach. Dr. Suhill Samji, has helped hundreds of children over the past eight years with his unique Peak Potential program. Here is what he has to say to parents… “I am sure you are as concerned as I am with drug-based treatments used to deal with ADD, AD/HD, dyslexia, autism and other learning difficulties. The positive aspects of these treatments come at a price. And parents are not always comfortable with the prolonged exposure to drug therapy that their children receive. We ll, there is an alternative. The Samji Clinic takes a drug free approach to treating the cause of these conditions. The explanation is that a primary problem relates to the failure to achieve equal activity and resonance in both right and left brain hemispheres. Failure to develop and achieve temporal coherence (balance) between the two hemispheres results in a form of functional independence of each hemisphere. What this means is that we will see high degrees of functioning in specific tasks (associated with the higher functioning brain hemisphere) and low degrees of functioning in other tasks (associated with the lower functioning brain hemisphere). Hemisphere specific treatment is the key to success. Motor activity (balance and coordination training), sensory stimulation, and cognitive functions (specific academic training with a certified special education teacher) directed toward the under-functioning hemisphere is the most important consideration in treatment. Achieving balance of activity between the two hemispheres is critical for allowing all aspects of normal brain function to occur. Using specific brain based therapies in a supervised program, we can help to enhance your child’s ability to process information more rapidly and increase their aptitude for learning. The result is improved motor coordination, academic achievement, and attention and focus. Please accept my personal invitation to come to our office for a complimentary consultation to learn more about our program. I assure you that all of your questions will be addressed so that you can make a well informed decision.” Please consider investing one hour of your time to watch a special video presentation of Dr. Samji’s Peak Potential program.
