Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, se- vere dehydration and respiratory problems are common throughout the summer months, but hit a spike when temperatures remain above 30 degrees Celsius for days at a time, as was the case this week. “We’ve seen a substantive in- crease in short-of-breath calls,” said Steve McNenly, assistant director for Durham EMS, which has 27 am- bulances operating across the re- gion. “People who have any kind of respiratory disease or challenges are definitely going to have more trouble under these conditions.” Patients are their first priority, but Mr. McNenly said health officials are also concerned with keeping the paramedics comfortable. Wo rking outside and entering homes that are often without air conditioning is a major challenge, he said, noting that the job involves a lot of strenuous lifting. So far, air conditioned ambulances stocked with plenty of water are keeping Pickering doughnut shop on list; tobacco convictions up By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — A Chinese buffet restaurant and two doughnut shops top the health department’s twice- annual list of establishments with food safety and tobacco violations. “It’s only because we’re continu- ally having to nag...that we have to write these tickets,” said Alex Con- nor, manager environmental health, adding those on the list are offend- ers that were repeatedly warned. Mr. Connor and his inspectors see everything from debris falling into uncovered bowls of fried rice to raw meat drippings hitting salad. “To me, that’s disgusting,” he said. “I like to have the food protected as much as possible. We have to read the riot act to these people.” Good Deal Super Buffet at 75 Bayly St. in Ajax had seven charges worth $1,700, ranging from sanitary conditions and food affected by the way the restaurant is run, to failing to protect food from adulteration or contamination and not properly cleaning utensils. Coffee Time Donuts at 300 Kings- ton Rd. W. in Pickering had $1,500 worth of fines for not having soap, storing hazardous foods at incorrect temperatures and using equipment in bad condition. The shop was also convicted in 2003 of similar of- fences. John’s Wholesale Donuts at 10 Sunray St. in Whitby had $1,455 worth of charges including failing to protect food from adulteration or contamination and failing to oper- ate premises free from conditions that may affect sanitation. The convictions were from Janu- ary to June this year. With only seven restaurants on the list this time around, Mr. Connor said public dis- closure of the offenders is working.

Mr. Jacobson, 30, made a brief appearance in a Whitby court Wednesday afternoon. He’s scheduled to return Sept. 6 for a hearing to deter- mine the sentence he’ll be given not just for the first- degree murder of Ajax resi- dent Roy Jones, but also for a number of charges relating to a violent home invasion robbery in Pickering in June of 2000. A jury convicted Mr. Ja- cobson, also known as Avi Mundy, June 30 after delib- erating for four days. Dur- ing a two-month trial jurors weighed the Crown’s case against the testimony of Mr. Jacobson himself, who ad- mitted playing a role in Mr. Jones’s death, but denied there was ever a plot to mur- der the man. Mr. Jones was shot four times outside his Twilley Lane home on Feb. 4, 2001, just days before he was to testify against Mr. Jacobson in court. Mr. Jones, a security guard, had seen Mr. Jacobson use bank cards stolen during the home invasion robbery at an automated teller at the Metro East Trade Centre. When Durham Regional Police investigators traced the cards to the bank ma- chine they questioned Mr. Jones, who recognized Mr. Jacobson from high school in Pickering. He became the Crown’s key witness in the case against Mr. Jacobson. During his trial Mr. Jacob- son said he and his friend, Sean Hall, went to Mr. Jones’s home with a gun looking to scare him out of testifying. But the plan went awry when Mr. Jones fought back and Mr. Hall shot him, he told the jury. But prosecutor Paul Mur- ray said it was Mr. Jacobson who pulled the trigger. He said the two men planned all along to kill Mr. Jones to silence him. In the end, the jury brought back a guilty verdict on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Last No- vember a jury convicted Mr. Hall on the same charges. He’s serving a life sentence in prison. Mr. Jacobson can expect a similar fate; the automatic sentence for first-degree murder is life in prison with- out parole for 25 years. But he will also be sentenced on the robbery and conspiracy charges. Those sentences will likely run concurrently with his life sentence. Two of the women who sat on the jury were in the nearly-deserted courtroom for Mr. Jacobson’s appear- ance Wednesday. They saw a prisoner who looked much different from the neatly groomed, well dressed young man who’d sat in the prisoner’s dock throughout the murder trial. Dishevelled in an open blue shirt and white T-shirt, a bearded Mr. Jacobson shuf- fled into the courtroom sur- rounded by police officers, his arms and legs shackled. He said nothing during his appearance, merely nodding when the judge set his sen- tencing date. Then he was gone as the officers escorted him out of the courtroom, the sound of rattling leg irons echoing be- hind him.

Operation Clean Up will focus on nuisance ac- tivities such as late-night drinking, vandalism and other problems associated with parks, said Sergeant Paul McCurbin. “They’re looking at mis- chief and damage to parks — that kind of stuff,” he said. Citizen complaints and analysis of incident re- ports have led to the ini- tiative. Sgt. McCurbin said nuisance behaviour often spills over from parks and affects residents living nearby. Operation Clean Up be- gins Monday, July 18. Anyone with informa- tion regarding activity in parks is asked to call Sgt. Rico Sirizzotti at 905-579- 1520, ext. 2578. PICKERING — Police are concerned about the escalat- ing behaviour of a night-time prowler who’s been linked to at least 10 incidents in south Pickering. In the most recent inci- dent, a woman walking on Orchard Road in the Bayly Street-Liverpool Road area around 11 p.m. July 3 was approached by a man who called out to her. When she turned, she saw that the man was masturbating, police said. The woman fled and called police. Investigators believe the same suspect may be respon- sible for an incident April 27, when a woman on Ilona Park Road saw a man exposing himself near her home. The man has been linked to at least 10 incidents of prowling and indecent acts, police said. He’s black, about 6-feet tall with a medium to large build. Anyone who has wit- nessed similar incidents or has information on the sus- pect is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 2529, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

That meant 34 businesses were charged with infrac- tions ranging from putting out an ashtray, to smoking in enclosed spaces to selling tobacco to people under 19. The Hideaway Bar and Grill at 170 Liberty St. in Bow- manville was charged four times with smoking indoors and putting out ashtrays, for a $1,000 fine. Donya’s Con- venience at 111 Byron St. in Whitby was charged $975 for selling cigarettes to minors, while Westney Smoke and Gift at 465 Bayly St. in Ajax was fined $610 for the same offence. Even with 300 compliance inspections and 140 com- plaints, the health depart- ment is still seeing a 98 per cent compliance rate with the Region’s smoke-free bylaw, Mr. Ingrao said.

Staff at the region’s long- term care homes are also working hard to keep them- selves and the residents com- fortable, with a heat contin- gency plan in full swing. Ju dy Heffern, director of the Long Term Care Division, said this includes keeping the air conditioning at a slightly higher level, providing extra fluids and limiting outdoor activities. “Fortunately, we haven’t seen any ill-effects from the heat to date,” she said. “Be- cause the elderly are a bit more compromised in these situations, our staff are very committed to doing whatev- er is necessary to make sure they’re OK.” In Pickering, chief admin- istrative officer Tom Quinn said all public building in the city are cooling buildings but the Pickering Recreation Complex has been designat- ed as the place to beat the heat. It has the staff and security to deal with any extra influx of people. “The recreation complex is the ideal facility for that,” Mr. Quinn said. It is located at 1867 Val- ley Farm Rd., south of Kings- ton Road. It is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. The City also announced public swimming has been extended to 10 p.m. at the complex. Dr. Donna Reynolds, Dur- ham Region’s associate med- ical officer of health, stressed that most heat-related ail- ments can be avoided with a little common sense. Her number one piece of advice is to stay hydrated. Medical experts recommend six to eight glasses of water a day under normal condi- tions, and advise people to increase that amount as the temperature rises, depend- ing on their activity level. “Fluids does not mean al- cohol or caffeine,” Dr. Reyn- olds said. “In weather like this you need to be drinking water or natural juices.” She also cautioned people to take it slow, reducing out- door activity or venturing out in the early morning or eve- ning when it’s cooler, and to seek out air-conditioned des- tinations like libraries, malls and movie theatres. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: staycool ✦ Cool from page 1 Cool it at Pickering Recreation Complex Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Tarik Le-Tyeb, a midget-level competitive kayaker, was staying cool this week while also practising for an upcoming regatta. A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 15, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Don’t use water for needless reasons Region’s commissioner can turn off your tap if you don’t obey outdoor water ban Heat has been the clear winner in this summer of our discontent. First it was our air that took a beating with the invasion of smog. Next it was the earth and the scorching it took from day after day of rainless plus-30 C temperatures. And now, it’s our water supply that has become depleted due to excess use and without replenishment from the skies above. Which leads us to this plea, backed up by the Region of Durham: Only use the water you need for typical household requirements (cooking, drinking, bathing and washing.) Do not use water to keep your lawn green or to keep your plants from wilting. If you are found to be using water needlessly, the Region’s commissioner of works has the power to cut off your water. That’s how serious the situation has become in boiling hot Durham. Going into today, the Region had already hit an incred- ible 22 days this year of 30 C heat. What’s worse, there has been very little rainfall to break up the oppressive haze. And, we’re not likely to see an end to hot weather any time soon. The forecast calls for more of the same this upcoming week. That’s a whole lot more smog, dried out vegetation, high electricity use for air conditioners and strain on our water system that we surely do not need. This summer, in direct contrast to the relatively cool and rainy summer of 2004, is a big challenge for us all. Our sys- tems are simply not equipped to handle such unseasonably hot weather. You can blame it on climate change, on long- term cyclical weather trends, on global warming... what counts is how we react to it. We’re all in this together and we must work hand-in-hand to make sure we don’t waste water on lawns and in gardens. It means we must sacrifice on non-essential water use in order to make sure there is enough fresh water to go around for everyone. That, and pray for rain. Pe t ticoat Creek needs drastic improvement To the editor: Sunday was a scorcher, so the biggest body of swimmable water around is Petticoat Creek, a large, lake-shaped pool, just south on Whites Road. Like a true believer I keep coming back, hoping that the money paid at the gate ($10 per car, then $2.70 a head to get in the pool) will be put back into keeping the place attractive. Unfortunately, I got fooled again, and found Third World change rooms, a pool deck with weeds creeping through, and not enough staff to keep the massive crowds in check. It felt a little like the wild west, you know, that anything could bust loose at a moment’s notice. An unimproved park- ing lot, rickety buildings and tired equipment that looks to be on its last legs. The Toronto and Region Conservation author- ity used to run Greenwood Park in Ajax, and during its tenure the park was a run-down eyesore, and dangerous to boot. The Town of Ajax took over, and now it’s a cherished place to kick back. Maybe Pickering should take over Petticoat Creek before the TRC runs it into the ground.

Longtime player Taylor believes there’s something special about this year’s team I f the Ajax-Pickering Rock is ever going to make it beyond the OLA se- nior ‘B’ lacrosse league playoffs and compete for a national Presidents Cup, this is the season. No one believes that more than Kevin Ta ylor, a 27-year-old Oshawa resident in his third season with the Rock. This year, unlike past campaigns, Tay- lor maintains there’s a different aura sur- rounding the team, one where there’s a genuine confidence, a willingness to work hard and together, which is to say the chemistry among team members is tighter and stronger than in previous years. And, most of that self-assuredness springs from experience and leadership that’s in abundance up and down the Rock roster. “O n paper we have a great team. Last year, we had a great team too, but there wasn’t that chemistry like we have this year,” explained Taylor, who plays on the defensive side of the ball. “The guys are a lot more mature, a lot older and they’ve come together really well. I thought we had the team to win the last couple of years, but we came up short. We know that this is the team, this is our chance to actually do something with it.” Ta ylor notes the new additions to the team augmented a solid core returning from last season. He points to National Lacrosse League stalwarts Dan Ladou- ceur, a longtime defender with the To- ronto Rock, and Buffalo Bandits sniper Jason Crosbie, who’ve fit in well. When mixed with team leader and perennial NLL all-star Jim Veltman, the Rock can put out some serious lacrosse talent and know-how on the floor at any one time. “They brought in Ladouceur who’s been a leader (on the Toronto Rock) for years. He’s won championships at every level. He elevates everyone’s game. It’s not that we want to win, but we know we can win now,” says Taylor. In its three years, the Rock has met with a modicum of playoff success, losing to the now-defunct Burlington Chiefs in the first round two years ago. Last season represented the best showing for the Rock in its brief history. After winning their first playoff series over the Arthur Aces, the Rock bowed out to the perennial powerhouse Owen Sound Woodsmen in the fifth game of the best-of-five league semifinal. And, now, at least one Rock player is optimistic a Presidents Cup victory awaits in Kitchener from Aug. 22 to 27. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durham region.com. Rock like their experience Al Rivett sports editor EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Heat wave may mean paying a premium By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Electricity users who have done what they can to keep their cool during the recent heat wave may feel a little hot under the collar when they receive their power bills. Under the new two-tiered pricing system which came into effect April 1, homeowners, small businesses and some public sector institutions will pay 5 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 750 kilowatt hours (kWh), then 5.8 cents per kWh thereafter. With air conditioners whirring al- most non-stop, many residents will surpass the 750 kWh level, incur- ring the higher charge for electricity used above and beyond that limit, said Terry Young of the Ontario Electricity System Operator, the or- ganization in charge of managing the reliability of Ontario’s electricity system. Ontarians have smashed previ- ous usage records already this year. For example, in June, the province’s residents used 13.5 terawatt hours (with one terawatt equalling one bil- lion kilowatts), about 10 per cent more than the previous all-time June high of 12.25 terawatts used in June 2001, said Mr. Young. Thursday morning, the IESO projected peak for hourly demand that day at 25,974 megawatts, with Ontario generators able to produce about 25,287 megawatts of that. Beyond that number, power would have to be imported from any or all of Quebec, New York, Michigan, Minnesota and Manitoba. Final usage numbers for the day were not available at This Week’s deadline. Total numbers aren’t yet in for July, but already, the previous July hourly use record had been broken, said Mr. Young. Wednesday, Ontar- ians had a one-hour peak of 26,160 megawatts. The record had stood at 25,001 megawatts, set July 17, 2002. The weather was absolutely to blame, said Mr. Young. “A big part of it was in air condi- tioning,” he said. The higher bills incurred during the heat wave could make the need for conservation more clear to consumers, said Mr. Yo ung. newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: staycool durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 15, 2005 PAGE 7 A/P Need help getting it done?

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Sharing their views PICKERING — Members of the group ‘Show the Truth’ drew a lot of attention this week as they set up at a number of locations across Durham Region to promote their pro-life views. Proper care during good weather offers best chance for survival By Derek Giberson Staff Writer DURHAM — Lately, it seems the grass isn’t green at all on either side of the fence. But for home and business own- ers who are feeling caught between a watering ban and a dry place, rest as- sured that your straw-coloured grass, rather than being dead, is just in a dormant state. “If they go dormant for more than six weeks there can be lawn damage,” said Emil Remark, owner of Nutri- Lawn, a Whitby company that spe- cializes in lawn care, explaining that when the blade appears dead, the crown is usually still alive inside the plant. Staying off the lawn while it’s dormant, he added, is an important part of keeping it healthy in the long- term. Sporadic heavy watering during a dry period also holds the potential to damage a lawn. If a lawn goes into a dormant state and is snapped out of it, and then allowed to return to a dor- mant state, this can put stress on the lawn. Glen Pleasance, water efficiency co-ordinator at the Durham Region works department, says it is “analo- gous” to what happens some winters when lawns are damaged when the ground freezes and then thaws again. Mr. Pleasance adds that, “There’s no quick fix,” noting that lawns given proper care when the weather is good have the best chances of survival dur- ing times like this. However, the weather can’t bear primary responsibility since most grasses used for lawns are non-na- tive species and therefore not well- suited for this environment. Mr. Pleas- ance suggests that anyone wanting to add some plant life to their property should be “looking at plants better suited to our climate.” newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: staycool Don’t worry, the g rass will grow green again Advice on surviving a heatwave DURHAM — Residents and stores should close their doors and windows as part of a four-step program to beat the heat and conserve electricity in the current heat wave. “It’s going to be like an oven out there,” warns Chris Winter, executive director of the Conservation Council of Ontario. “Anyone with an open win- dow in the daytime is just inviting the baking hot air into their home.” With forecast highs of 35 degrees and overnight lows of 24 degrees across southern Ontario, the secret to beating the heat lies in inviting the cool air in overnight, and shutting out the hot air in the day. The goal, says Winter, is to knock at least five degrees off the outdoor high inside your home. The five steps to a cooler house are: 1. Use window fans at night to ex- change the hot air for cool. At least one fan is recommended in the bedroom to draw air in and an exhaust fan in the living room to blow the warm air out. 2. Close the windows and drapes in the morning. Trap the cool air in and keep the warm sunlight out of your home. 3. Use a portable fan in the day. 4. Take a cool shower can also help on really hot days. 5. Minimize electrical use in the house. Using electricity gives off heat. Use the stove as little as possible. Re- place standard lights with compact fluorescent bulbs. Houses with air conditioning should follow these steps as well. “You can cut your air conditioning costs in half with a little common sense,” said Mr. Winter. Store owners and restaurants should also close their doors and windows in the day, and place a sign in the front window to let people know they are open and conserving energy. “People are angry with stores that have the air conditioner on full blast and the front door wide open,” said Mr. Winter. “If you close the door and let people know you’re conserving en- ergy, you’ll get a lot of people thanking you and probably wind up with a few more customers.” newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: staycool Close it up tight to stay cool Testing underway and nuclear reactor should be producing power in the fall PICKERING — Come the fall, Unit 1 at the Picker- ing nuclear station should be pumping out power. Refurbishment of the reactor has taken several years and the final bill is expected to total about $1 billion. The project is now about 95-per cent com- plete, and most of the construction work is finished. When operating at full power, the reactor gener- ates 515 megawatts of electricity, enough to power approximately 150,000 homes. Currently, testing of the various systems is under- way and it has to be completed before the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission allows Ontario Power Generation to remove the reactor from the Guar- anteed Shutdown State (GSS), which it has been in since late 1997. Removing the reactor from the GSS takes about two weeks and once done, powering up of the unit can begin. OPG spokeswoman Jacquie McInnes says once the GSS is removed, the unit “becomes available for powering up in the fall.” Reactor operators test the unit by powering up and then down several times, reviewing how new components and safety systems are operating. This powering up and down will be done “a few times before we go to full power,” she says. Full power should be reached in September or October, Ms. McInnes notes. As of June 1, OPG has spent $920.7 million on the project. In late June, OPG received a five-year operating li- cence for the ‘A’ side. Once Unit 1 is operating, it and Unit 4 will be the ‘A’ side reactors producing power. Units 2 and 3 remain in a laid-up state. The Province hasn’t made a decision on the restart of those two reactors. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 15, 2005 PAGE 9 A/P PICKERING OPTOMETRIC CLINIC Dr. E. Gillezeau, Dr. M.

DURHAM — A total of 973 single family homes were sold last month in Durham, according to the Durham Region Real Estate Board (DRREB). The number represents a decline of four per cent compared to the 1,013 homes sold in May, and a nine per cent decrease from the 1,061 sold in June 2004. “Even with these slightly reduced statistics, June was the second best sales record in the history of the board,” DRREB president Ian Smith said. Mr. Smith stressed that high in- ventories will continue to push real estate prices down over the next few weeks. However, he expects the market will rebound over the coming sum- mer months. Meanwhile, average home prices continued to climb, from $253,696 in May to $256,554 last June, an in- crease of approximately 6.9 per cent compared to the same time last year.

The chief received the honour dur- ing a ceremony Tuesday at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. He was one of 45 people to be named a recipient of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces. The award cited the Chief McAlpine as a “stalwart champion of community safety (who) has made an exemplary band lasting impact on policing in Canada and on the quality of the lives of our citizens”. Chief McAlpine, an officer for 32 years and top cop in Durham since 1997, plans to retire this fall. Police chief earns national honour Mercier assumes post with chiefs’ association DURHAM — Durham Regional Police Deputy-Chief Chuck Mercier has been elected vice-president of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), a role in which he hopes to advance a number of initiatives. “As a new vice-president of the OACP I will continue to be a voice for both the public and my fellow police officers on all issues that affect the safety of our communities,” Deputy- Chief Mercier said. OACP initiatives will include adop- tion of new technology, partnering with government on intelligence ef- forts, and strategies to protect chil- dren, Deputy-Chief Mercier said. He was elected to the post at the annual OACP conference, held in late June. York Regional Police Chief Ar- mand LaBarge was elected president of the association. The OACP is comprised of police chiefs and senior officials from police forces across the province.

Call 310-CASH Lena Burnett never had the chance to meet Good Neighbours By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer AJAX — Lena Burnett never had the chance to thank the peo- ple who saved her life. The Ajax woman was on her way home with her two young children after visiting a doctor Saturday, July 2, when she had an allergic reaction to penicillin. It caused her to collapse near a home on Ravenscroft Road. “I passed out on someone’s lawn. We were walking home from the Westney Clinic. With- in 10 minutes (of receiving the shot), I started to feel nauseated and itchy. I couldn’t walk any- more. A wife and her husband pulled over and they called 911. There was a lady there. I was in and out of consciousness,” Ms. Burnett says. Her daughter Kayla looked out for her four-month-old son James as it all happened. “My five-year-old, I’m so proud of her. She stuck with her brother,” Ms. Burnett says, add- ing Kayla has been taught to call 911 if there’s an emergency. Paramedics arrived at the scene and Ms. Burnett was taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital. Doctors told her “if those people hadn’t stopped, I probably would have died,” she says. When doctors tried to take her blood pressure, they couldn’t get a reading because it was so low, she adds. After undergoing a series of medical tests, Ms. Burnett was sent home that night. “They told me I was severely allergic to penicillin and I should never take it again,” Ms. Burnett says. “I recently had a baby and ev- erything changes. “I never had a chance to thank them,” she says of the husband and wife, and the woman who came to her aid. “I want to thank them for sav- ing my life. Thank them for stop- ping when they did. I want them to know we’re very thankful, be- cause if not for them, I wouldn’t be here,” Ms. Burnett says. She’s also thankful to the Kelly family for caring for her children and to the paramedics and po- lice for their help. It was her husband’s birth- day and he was golfing. He was reached while Ms. Burnett was in the emergency department.

Dignity. These are the two paramount concerns as we age, seniors and experts say. With almost 50,000 people currently over the age of 65 in Durham, and the number set to grow by 43 per cent by 2011, our aging population is on the cusp of exploding. And that means a huge increased demand not only on families, but on services such as geriatric doctors, home care, respite, homes for the aged and staff to work in them. _________________ Life took a devastating turn for Mitch and Eric Ramsay 20 years ago. Mr. Ramsay, then 45 and working as a pro- ducer for the TV show Canada AM, had a brain aneurysm, followed by a stroke. He lost the ability to read and write, and most of the use of his right side. Mrs. Ramsay, working as an administra- tor, suddenly became her husband’s primary caregiver. And, she couldn’t have done it with- out services such as the adult day program in Clarington, run by Community Care. “Eric needs more than what the family or myself as his caregiver can give him,” she said. “As a caregiver, you run out of steam. You lose your patience. You need a rest.” Nestled in Newcastle, the program offers a meal, social interaction and recreational activities such as games, pet therapy and gar- dening. To Mr. Ramsay, this is his second home. When he leaves three days a week for the centre, his wife wishes him a good day at work. “I think society needs to accept help more, rather than assume it’s all on their shoulders,” said Diane Gale, who runs a private compan- ion care company out of Brooklin. “We’re try- ing to send a message to people that there are services available, that they don’t have to take time off work to look after somebody.” The aging of Durham’s population puts par- ticular strain on the Sandwich Generation: people in their 40s who have young children and are now having to look after their parents. “It’s a very, very stressful situation,” Ms. Gale said. “They’re really challenged with work and their own families and now their parents.” That’s where organizations like Ms. Gale’s — which offer assistance with dressing, yard work, housekeeping, meals and conversa- tion — can help. Community Care also offers lunches out, transportation, Meals on Wheels, visiting and foot clinics, plus mental health programs. “First and foremost, most people’s desire is to stay at home and maintain their indepen- dence as long as possible,” said Brent Farr, executive director of Community Care. “It’s healthier for the individual and their life con- dition.” Not only do community social agencies help with the stress, but also keep the cost down as well, Mr. Farr said. “It’s much more cost-effective to keep peo- ple in their own homes, rather than institu- tional care — that is much more expensive,” he said. “In most cases, it’s not the preferred choice for people.” But, when the available in-home services can’t meet an elderly person’s needs anymore, it has to happen, experts say. “Life in a long-term care facility is never ideal for one reason: it’s not their home,” said Esther Filer, community and public rela- tions co-ordinator for Durham Access to Care (DATC), which co-ordinates nursing home waiting lists, provides in-home care and health referrals. “The transition is such a mental leap for people.” To day’s elderly centres are not what you see stereotyped in movies, she added: people aren’t sitting in wheelchairs off in the corner or being left completely unattended. What helps clients and their families the most is having a tour. “It’s critical when people go in they should definitely see the facility, and take a tour when they’re not in crisis,” Ms. Filer said. Homes can have specialized services for smokers, those with diabetes, dialysis or Alzheimer’s, for ex- ample. Services in long-term care facilities have had to diversify as the population not only ages, but is living longer, said Judy Hef- fern, Durham Region’s director of long-term care and services for seniors. “Funding is an issue because our residents are continuing to increase in their frailty and acuity of care,” she said, adding people often have multiple conditions and require more specialized care. “We’ve been struggling in Ontario to keep up with other jurisdictions.” There is also more cultural diversity in Durham and specialized diets, Ms. Heffern added. The shift also means more staff in general, but also more professional staff such as regis- tered nurses. The Region runs four long-term care homes, offering 782 beds with a com- bined staff of 1,000 and will spend $26 million on the program this year. Durham has a total of 19 facilities (not including retirement homes, which are not regulated by the Province). More elderly and the need for more special- ized care are revealing a gaping hole in treating people: the lack of geriatric doctors. “It’s the biggest thing that’s lacking.” said Susan Locke, integration co-ordinator of the Frail Elderly Alliance of Durham (FEAD). “They are essential for the care of the frail el- derly.” One of the only organizations of its kind in Durham, FEAD is a grassroots organiza- tion that’s helping integrate elderly services in Durham. They’re developing a directory for doctors specifically for seniors’ services, as well as a screening tool so people know where to go for things like wound management or memory loss. “Where am I going to get the care? How do I access the care? Where do I go for help?” Ms. Locke said many frail elderly ask. “Unless people are seasoned or have had previous knowledge on how to access the system, it can be difficult.” There is a growing momentum — although a slow progression — of governments recog- nizing the impact seniors are going to have on the health-care system in the near future. There is funding for in-home care and com- munity-based services like DATC and Com- munity Care provide, but often the focus is on building new homes. “Sometimes that’s not the answer,” Ms. Locke said. “Let’s look at the preventative.” That means helping people stay at home longer and increasing the services in the com- munity. But, above and beyond all of these issues, Ms. Locke hopes society will soon be more elderly-friendly as the number of seniors grow. That means offering tables near the front of restaurants so the elderly don’t have to walk long distances and making aisles on buses and in stores wider for canes and walkers. “People can become aware of the very sim- ple things in the community that can be done,” she said. “If one person did one nice thing for a senior every day, that would be good.” Next month: Home care newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword: helpinghands Hand In Hand This is the seventh in a 12-part series looking at Durham’s social services and the people it serves Independence a struggle Amanda Rohde photo An aging Durham population has put a strain on services and programs.

Pickering will be asked to do the same. Ajax council last week ap- proved adding a question to the ballot in the November 2006 election. A public meeting will be held during the Sept. 26 Ajax council meeting, followed by the passage of a bylaw requir- ing the question be included on the ballot. Ajax council’s general gov- ernment committee on Thurs- day voted 5-1 to include the question. The action was ratified by council during a special meet- ing immediately following the committee meeting. Mayor Steve Parish sub- mitted the question, which reads ‘That the Government of Ontario enact a regulation requiring the direct election of the chair of the Regional Municipality of Durham.’ “The hope is by Ajax doing this, other municipalities will put the question on the bal- lot. It’s one way to put it to bed,” Mayor Parish said. “This motion is an effort by Ajax to have a direct election of the regional chairman.” He noted in his motion that Halton and Waterloo regions have direct elections. The regional chairman has “c onsiderable responsibility, influence and authority over numerous public policy and service issues” affecting all of Durham, Mayor Parish’s mo- tion reads. It also notes “a fundamental principle of de- mocracy is that the electors, through a general vote, have the right to freely choose their political representatives.” The costs for holding the referendum would be “neg- ligible,” Town clerk Marty de Rond said. “We might have some advertising costs. The costs would be fairly mini- mal.” The intention is to send the motion to the Region and the other municipalities so they can decide if the question will be included on the ballot, he added. The only member opposed to the motion was Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson, who supported the public process, but didn’t support “Ajax telling a senior level of government to change the procedure” for selecting the chairman. For the results of the ref- erendum to be binding, at least 50 per cent of eligible voters must cast a ballot and a majority must support the measure. Traditionally, a mu- nicipal election draws about a 30-per cent voter turnout. Mr. de Rond said staff and councillors can “take the re- sult as guidance” given a 50- per cent turnout is unlikely. Pickering council is to deal with the issue in the fall.

Plans underway for south Oshawa, Uxbridge additions By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — The Region is in the design stage of two new social housing projects, hop- ing to cash in on funding an- nouncements from the upper levels of government. “It is exciting,” said Shirley Van Steen, director of housing services. “I’m hoping one day we’re at a sod turning.” The Region has now hired two architects: one to design a two-storey, 12-unit apartment building in the Lakeview Har- bourside townhouse complex in south Oshawa, near Lakev- iew Park, and another to add eight units onto an existing subsidized seniors building at 20 Perry St. in Uxbridge, near the hospital. “They’re both entirely do- able,” Ms. Van Steen said. “We have the zoning, adequate sewer and water capacity. We feel that we could do it rea- sonably cost effectively.” The housing is desperately needed. More than 4,000 Dur- ham households are on a wait- ing list for affordable housing. There are currently 6,374 subsidized units in the region, plus some run through pri- vate landlords. The Region of Durham owns and manages 1,276, with the rest owned by non-profit organizations and co-operatives that receive funding from the Region, Ms. Van Steen said. Social housing was made a local responsibility by the pro- vincial Conservatives in the late nineties. In 2004, it cost the Region around $31.7 million to run the program, with a $32.1 mil- lion budget for 2005. Putting a shovel in the ground for either project is all dependent on funding details from the Province, she added. It’s hoped that will be avail- able in the fall. Re g ion hopeful for new social housing DURHAM — The Province has invited three qualified bid- ders to submit design plans for Durham’s new courthouse. David Caplan, minister of public infrastructure renewal, announced this week that the private sector consortia were selected after an extensive Re- quest for Qualifications (RFQ) process that began on March 31, 2005. Each group was evaluated with the assistance of external advisers, based on the financial capacity, expertise and expe- rience necessary to complete the courthouse on time and on budget. The final three candidates will now be asked to submit proposals in the first stage of the Request for Proposals (RFP) process, outlining how they plan to finance, design, build and manage the new 350,000 square foot consolidated court- house. “Our government is commit- ted to renewing Ontario’s in- frastructure in an accountable, cost-effective manner,” Mr. Ca- plan said. “The response to the first stage of the process was excellent, and I want to thank all the companies that partici- pated.” The three qualified bidders are: — SNC Lavalin Engineers and Constructors Inc., Bond- field Construction Company Limited and ProFac Facilities Management Services Inc. — Durham Courthouse Cen- tre Cooperation, consisting of EllisDon Inc., EllisDon Design Build Inc., LPF Realty, CIBC World Markets and Carillion Canada Inc. — Access Justice Durham, a consortium involving ABN Amro Bank N.V., Canada Branch, PCL Constructors Can- ada Inc. and Johnson Controls LP. The new courthouse will serve the entire region by consolidat- ing services currently offered at seven different locations. It will include 33 courtrooms, five set- tlement conference rooms and enhanced security features. It is expected that construction will be competed by the winter of 2008-09.

According to the report, waste seepage was reported around the northern perimeter of the Oshawa landfill this spring, while elevated methane concentrations indicate that the gas collection system is not operating at full capacity. Other sites require larger buffer lands to meet Ministry of Environment require- ments, and strategies to reduce seepage. “None of these things are a haz- ard to human health right now, but we’re trying to address them before they become a concern,” stressed works commissioner Cliff Curtis. “These landfills were built years ago to the standards of the day and now we have to bring them up to stricter standards.” Durham has closed landfill sites in Oshawa, Whitby, central Scugog, Cartwright, Scott and Darlington, and one active site in Brock. A waste transfer station currently operates on the north portion of the Oshawa site. Many of the sites were built on abandoned sand and gravel pits, without proper lining. As a result, leachate forms when water from precipitation passes through the waste contained in the landfill and seeps out of the contained area. Oshawa Councillor John Neal said he has received many calls from concerned residents who live near the Oshawa landfill, or whose chil- dren attend Father Venini Catholic School, which sits adjacent to the site. “People have complained of a smell in the area, so I asked for this report to get to the bottom of things,” he said. “There are solutions in the report... I’m very confident that between the City, the Region and the Ministry, whatever needs to be fixed, will be fixed.” As a temporary measure, straw erosion matting is being used to control seepage at the Oshawa land- fill. The report recommends that the Region purchase the property north of the site and install a leachate collection system with a drain and pumping station. The cost to get high-priority re- pairs and upgrades underway at the six sites is estimated at about $4 million, some of which will be ad- vanced as it is not included in this year’s budget. The remainder will be funded through 2006/2007 Waste Tax Rates, with the overall cost of re- medial work analyzed as part of the 2006 Waste Servicing and Financing Study.

Although getting rid of dandelions without chemicals is a more environmentally friendly approach to a beautiful lawn and garden, it can be challenging. “It’s not always necessary to get down on your hands and knees to pull up weeds,” says Rob Dewar, spokesperson for Fiskars Garden Tools. “If you choose the proper tools and follow a few simple techniques, you can easily control weeds without chemical alternatives.” As a fi rst step, identify the weeds in your garden and learn about their lifecycles. Annuals spread by seed, so you need to pull them before their seeds set. To eliminate peren- nials, you’ll need to dig out the entire root. Use the proper tools that can make the job less pain- ful. “Th e new Fiskars Weeder lets you weed standing up,” comments Dewar. “To use the Weeder the gardener simply places the tool directly over the weed, pushes the claws into the ground with their foot and then draws the shaft back, pulling the weed out in one smooth, eff ortless action.” Make sure you cover bare soil. Adding two to four inch- es of organic mulch as a cover on bare soil can help prevent weeds from growing. Keep seeds buried. Soil can contain as many as 80,000 weed seeds per square yard. When you dig down and turn the soil, those seeds are exposed to sunlight and rain, causing them to sprout and grow. Cover your garden with an inch of weed-free and seed-free compost after turning the soil. Don’t water your weeds. Even weeds can’t grow without water, so use a water method that applies water directly to the plants you want to grow.

Starbucks off ers spent grounds to customers year-round for use in gardens and compost bins. “Coff ee grounds can be a valu- able source of nutrition for the gar- den,” says Ben Packard, director of Environmental Aff airs for Starbucks. “Reusing coff ee grounds in the garden year-round is a great way to avoid dis- posing of this rich resource from our stores.” According to Th e Composting Council of Canada, composting not only helps to reduce the amount of waste going to landfi lls, it produces a valuable soil amendment that can im- prove the texture and fertility of the soil. Compost is the single most im- portant ingredient for soil quality and productivity. Some gardeners even use the grounds to help ward off slugs and snails. Th e grounds can be used to mulch plants that slugs love to feast on, such as hostas, ligularias and lilies. Coff ee grounds can be applied directly to a garden’s acid loving plants such as azaleas, ros- es or hydrangeas. While coff ee grounds may be acidic, adding leaves and dried grass can reduce this acidity. Your local gardening expert can help you decide what is best for your garden.

FREE IN-HOME CONSULTATION New Canadian now ‘closer to my grandchildren’ By Joshua May Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — For Kate Ibbetson, recit- ing her citizenship vow proved one of the most difficult decisions of her life. During a Canada Day citizenship court before a number of curious onlookers as well as family and friends at Rotary Park, Ms. Ibbetson was among more than 60 immi- grants to swear their allegiance to the Great White North. However, Ms. Ibbetson, originally a native of London, England, was confronted with quite a predicament as to whether or not she would take part in the ceremony. Her reasoning for her decision was not a matter of homeland allegiances but more so a matter of the heart. “I had to choose whether to at- tend my father’s funeral or to take my citizenship vow,” said Ms. Ib- betson. “It was a hard task. I had to weigh what was more important. However, this way I can return to England anytime without hassles and, in the end, I feel closer to my grandchildren.” To the sounds of roaring ap- plause, a great number of family and well-wishers cheered on Ms. Ibbetson as finally, after 25 years of living here, the retired mother of four was handed her certificate of Canadian citizenship. “I have waited for this day for quite some time now,” she said. “It’s so great being able to look at my grandkids and know that I am now just the same as them. I am a Cana- dian.” Joining the more than 30 million Canadians already residing in this culturally diverse nation, the Picker- ing resident first moved to Canada after deciding her children would be privy to a more advanced education system. Having met and married her second husband, a Canadian, of more than 19 years whilst residing here, Ms. Ibbetson admits she owes a lot to the country. “Looking back on everything, I know I made the right decision coming here. I couldn’t have asked for anything more (from this land),” she said. “To be introduced as a Canadian on such a special day to this country, it’s truly a wonderful feeling to say the least.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 15, 2005 PAGE 21 A/P FLOORING CENTRE Pickering Carpet Towne is pleased to welcome: “Dave Takeda” to our fl ooring sales team.

It’s still Shakespeare, of a sort. In its 11th season, Driftwood will present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) in parks throughout Durham and beyond. The group describes the play as a hilari- ous romp through all of the playwright’s 37 plays, squeezed into a two-hour performance. First written and performed in 1987 by the Reduced Shakespeare Company from Cali- fornia, it’s since been performed throughout North America and Europe to rave reviews. “It’s important to maintain a sense of hu- mour about our lives and our work,” explained artistic director Jeremy Smith. “After 10 years of touring Shakespeare, I was feeling a little introspective as I considered what the first show of Driftwood’s second de- cade should be. I felt that it was important to clean the palate before moving on. The Com- plete Works is such a brilliantly funny and engaging piece; it looks at Shakespeare from an entirely different perspective. It’s the perfect choice for us at this time.” He said the play offers something for everyone, old and young, a Shakespeare fan or not. The Complete Works uses only three actors. Driftwood’s production will see Steven Burley returning for his 11th season with Driftwood. Peter Nicol returns to Driftwood after a two-year absence. The third cast member is Christo- pher Darroch, Driftwood’s newest company member. Driftwood will again offer its free Shake- spearience program (guided backstage tour and introduction to cast and crew) before select performances and Late Night Chats with the cast following certain shows. Visit the website, www.driftwood.com, for details. Driftwood’s summer season runs from July 15 to Aug. 14, with a pay-what-you-can admis- sion. The suggested donation is $12 or $30 per family. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 15, 2005 PAGE 23 A/P FESTIVALTHEATREFESTIVAL THEATRE Po rt HopePort Hope “Classic Plays in a Classic Theatre”“Classic Plays in a Classic Theatre” July 21st - August 6thJuly 21st - August 6th ONE FOR THE POT BY RAY COONEY & TONY HILTON Running for over 1200 performances, “One for the Pot” is one of the most popular of the legendary “Whitehall Farces” 905.885.1071 • www.phft.ca POST TIME 1:30 P.M. 388 KINGSTON ROAD EAST • AJAX LIVE QUARTER HORSE RACING EVERY SUNDAY!

Po tter a work of window art Larger-than-life Harry painted by Ajax teen By David Stell News Editor AJAX — True fans may not need the extra frills, but the Chapters store in Ajax has a big sign of the times for Harry Potter readers to enjoy as they line up for a chance to buy the latest book tonight. Caroline Moule, of Ajax, a staff member at the store, drew most of the artwork on the front of the store. The highlight is her replica of the cover of the book, ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’, an image of Potter and the head wizard at Hogwarts, Dumbledorf. The image dominates the window from top to bottom and Moule, a 19-year-old computer animation student at Durham College, said she used a small image from the Internet to base her larger-than-life painting. A fan of the series, Moule says the store is bracing for an onslaught of young wizards and witches and has a number of events planned to enhance kids’ wait for midnight. Starting at 9 p.m. the store’s book launch party includes classes and contests at its Durham Centre location at Harwood Avenue and Kingston Road. In Pickering, the Coles Bookstore in the Pickering Town Centre will not stay open until midnight, but opens at 7 a.m. Saturday with a Harry Potter magician on hand to add to the excitement of the book release. Moule’s artwork took her several days, with different images from the books on different windows. With her background in art, she was the natural choice to take on the task. “Everyone here pretty much volunteered me because they know I’m artistic,” she ex- plained. After reading all the previous books, she says she’s excited to read the latest instal- ment and predicts a lot of people will be there looking to get their hands on the book. She explained her reason for enjoying the series, and thought many others share her opinion. “It’s the fantasy of it,” she said. “I’m big into fantasy.” Preconfused plays Saturday gig at Pickering store PICKERING — Rock band Preconfused is back in town for another show. The Pickering band, which recently re- leased its first album, is at Rogers Video in Pickering’s Amberlea Plaza tomorrow from 3 to 6 p.m. The plaza is at the corner of Whites Road and Stroud’s Lane. The band has been making several ap- pearances in recent weeks, including per- forming in Toronto at the Corso Italia Street Festival and at a Toronto Lynx game in Eto- bicoke. Next up, it is scheduled to play at Erindale Plaza in Mississauga July 22.

Page 31 Brooklin staves off elimination, forces Game 4 in senior ‘B’ lacrosse series tonight By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM - The Ajax-Pickering Rock is still a work in progress, says Jim Veltman. The 39-year-old National La- crosse League perennial all-star who captained the Toronto Rock to the 2005 NLL championship, is hoping to do the same for his geological brethren - the Ajax- Pickering Rock - in its push for a first OLA senior ‘B’ champion- ship this summer. But, he admits, there’s still much work to be done. “I feel this is a team that’s still developing an instinct for win- ning. This is part of the learning process - the developing into a good team. I see the pieces are there, but the mentality still has to come yet. It’s building. I see a lot of good things,” says Veltman, who also serves as captain for Ajax-Pickering. Veltman’s observations rang particularly true after the Rock faltered big time in failing to clinch their best-of-five East Di- vision semifinal playoff series with the Brooklin Merchants at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex on Tuesday night. Leading the series 2-0 and an- gling for a sweep on its home floor, the Rock squandered a golden opportunity to cash out the Merchants, suffering a stun- ning 8-7 loss. Now, Ajax-Pickering faces a rejuvenated Brooklin squad in Game 4 tonight (Friday) at Whitby’s Ir- oquois Park Sports Cen- tre at 8 p.m. The Rock led through most of T uesday’s contest, piling up a comfortable 5-1 advan- tage early in the second. But, Ajax-Picker- ing gave it all back and more in a horrendous third period as the Merchants scored four un- answered markers early in the frame. A solo effort by Veltman, capped off by a nifty over-the- shoulder shot, pulled the Rock back into a 7-7 tie. But, with 1:19 remaining, a harmless looking shot by Brook- lin’s Duke McNutt trickled past a stunned Jay Preece for the win- ner. Ve ltman says the Rock simply fell flat Tuesday. “I’ve never seen a team play so bad and be up by three goals after two periods. We certainly didn’t deserve it,” he explained. “We were so bad. In the third pe- riod, they looked like they were a lot hungrier than we were. We just sort of sat on our lead.” Ve ltman hopes Tuesday’s loss is not a case of deja vu, as the Rock held a similar 2-0 series ad- vantage against the Owen Sound Woodsmen in last year’s league semifinal. In that series, the Woodsmen won three straight to sideline the Rock. “We have to get back to what we were doing in the first two games, which is run, run, run,” says the Stouffville resident. “I feel we’re faster and in better shape than they are, so we need to run these guys where they spend a lot of energy.” The Merchants, who finished a single point behind the Rock in the East Division standings, showed grit and determination in the face of elimination. Brooklin head coach/GM Steve McCarthy was not surprised by his charges’ ability to come back and win games they had no busi- ness winning. “This team always finds a way to win, but they always make things tough on themselves,” ex- plains McCarthy. “They still have confidence within themselves.” While most teams would have a deep sense of urgency, having their season hanging by a thread, McCarthy says there was no such emotion in the dressing room. “A ny normal bunch of human beings would be desperate. These guys, they just shrug their shoul- ders and don’t get too worked up about it. They just find a way to win,” he says. Other Rock scorers were Todd Hollinshead with two, Shawn Summerfield, Bill McLean, Pat Va nhooser and Mark Craig. Ryan Sharp, with three goals, Wayne Richard with two, Adam Robertson and Barrett Church also scored for the Merchants. Game 5, if necessary, is at the Pickering complex on Tuesday, July 19 at 8 p.m. Rock can’t put away Merchants Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Ajax-Pickering Rock’s Brad Cann, left, battles for the ball with a Brooklin Merchants player during OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse playoff action at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex on Tuesday night.

Mighty Maple Leafs likely first round playoff opponent By Brian McNair Staff Editor DURHAM — The Oshawa Dodgers have wrapped up eighth place in the Intercounty Baseball League, which almost certainly means a playoff date with the red-hot Toronto Maple Leafs. With losses of 7-0 to the Bar- rie Baycats Wednesday and 4-1 to the Hamilton Thunderbirds Tuesday, the Dodgers have fall- en to 7-24, leaving them seven games back of seventh place Hamilton and six ahead of last place Stratford with five games remaining. The Maple Leafs, meantime, have been destroying all-com- ers of late and now hold a solid three-game lead on Guelph atop the standings with a 25-5 record. Barring a Toronto collapse, the two teams will begin a best- of-seven quarterfinal on July 27. “It’s a new season in the play- offs, so you never know,” says Dodgers manager Troy May. “Hopefully they come in and they think just have to show up.” The Dodgers will get one more look at the Leafs this Sun- day at Christie Pits in Toronto, hoping for better results than the previous four meetings this season, all won handily by the Leafs. Ben Chisholm gave the Dodg- ers a chance at home Wednes- day against Barrie, pitching eight strong innings before the Baycats erupted for five runs in the ninth. Dane Wolfe and Adam Syl- vestre had two hits each for the Dodgers, who outhit Barrie 7-6 in defeat. Ken Calway, Darryl Reid and Morris Watson had the other Oshawa hits. In Hamilton Tuesday, Scott Robinson, of Ajax, deserved better after a complete-game nine-hitter, but fell to 1-5 for the season. He walked two and struck out seven. Oshawa ball Dodgers drop another pair, finish eighth DURHAM — The good news: the Durham Storm hasn’t lost a game in the last two weeks. The bad news: the Storm hasn’t played a game in the last two weeks. Since a 1-0 loss to the Ottawa Royals on Canada Day in the Te rry Fox CanCup, the Storm has been inactive in Canadian Professional Soccer League ac- tion. However, the team returns to the field tonight (9 p.m. Civic Fields) to face the Vaughan Shooters. The Storm will look to break out of a funk dating back to the second game of the season, having lost five in row. Cur- rently Durham occupies the East Conference basement, but only sits two points behind the North York Astros for fifth place.

David Green - 481 JEFF GREEN NEXTEL CUP SERIES NO. 43 CHEERIOS/BETTY CROCKER DODGE Good, bad & ugly Green finishing races, but he’s been unable to find top-10 consistency so far JOLIET, Ill. - The good news for Dodge driver Jeff Green is that he has failed to finish only one race this season. The bad news is that he has yet to finish a Nextel Cup race in the top 10 and ranks 31st in the points standings. Green s best finish was an 11th in May at Lowes Motor Speedway in the Coca-Cola 600. His 24th-place finish in the USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway was his best showing of the past four races. Green, 42, is in his second full season driving Petty Enterprises No. 43 Dodge. The former Busch Series champion is one of several drivers Jeremy Mayfield and Michael Wa ltrip are others who grew up in the stock- car hotbed of Owensboro, Ky. Concerning the daunting task of turning around the fortunes of his team, Green said: We ll, I think we’ve just got to work. Those guys up there are working really hard at the (fabricating) shop. We ve asked a lot out of them this year, which every fab shop has, with the new rules. Plus our new Charger body (means) we’ve had to put a lot of bodies on and cut a lot of them off. “We can’t give up, and our motor package with Evernham Motors, I think, has turned our team definitely in the right direction. We go to the race track without worrying about that anymore, so we’ve got to figure our aerodynamics out and our downforce. Our sport has changed so much, bodywise, and what you do with the springs and the shocks. And even two years ago, it s unbelievable, and we have to figure that out. We seem like we’ve figured it out, but we’re, like, a step behind everybody...It s not easy. Another obstacle isn’t related to technical matters. It’s tough for a driver to keep his self confidence in the face of repeated adversity. “I don’t know. It’s tough,” said Green. “It’s very tough at times to know that you’re capable of winning races and doing the things that you’ve done in the past. When you have setbacks, it’s pretty tough to go throughout that day to finish that race. You ve got to keep your head up and look forward to next week, and hopefully you can turn that corner.” Contact Monte Dutton at hmdutton50@aol.com J e f f G r e e n i s i n h i s s e c o n d f u l l s e a s o n d r i v i n g P e t t y E n t e r p r i s e s N o . 4 3 D o d g e .
