The Durham Crown’s office is taking the extraordinary measure of applying to have the teens sen- tenced as adults because of the shocking nature of their crimes, which capped criminal careers that began before their teenaged years, Mike Newell told Superior Court Justice David Salmers. “These two from a young age have behaved very, very badly,” Mr. Newell said in describing the ex- ploits of the young men, now 18. They were both 16 when they committed a string of extremely violent robberies in Durham and To ronto. The young men, who can’t be named under provisions of the Yo uth Criminal Justice Act, have pleaded guilty to charges associ- ated with six robberies. During those robberies lone OPG decides against restart of Pickering Units 2 and 3 By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING — A pair of laid-up reactors at the Pickering nuclear station are going to be mothballed. Ontario Power Generation an- nounced it wasn’t financially viable to restart Units 2 and 3. Company executives said on Friday it would cost $2 billion and the two reactors would only run seven to 10 years. “We’ve done our assessments of the two units and we could not see an acceptable business case. This was a decision based solely on economic factors and the decision was made by the Ontario Power Generation’s board of directors on a recommendation from manage- ment,” said Jim Hankinson, OPG’s president and chief executive of- ficer, during a press conference. The two units were put in a laid- up state in December 1997. Over the next two years, the fuel and heavy water will be removed and the units will be put into a long- term layup state. The decision not to restart the reactors surprised nuclear oppo- nent David Martin of Greenpeace Canada. “It’s a historic decision. It’s the first large-scale shutdown of a commercial reactor,” Mr. Martin said. “It’s the beginning of the end of nuclear power in Canada.” He was surprised by the an- nouncement. “There’s been a huge amount of pressure coming NEW WHITBY CAMPUS OPENING IN SEPTEMBER!!! www.blaisdale.com 12 mths - grade 8 5 Campuses in Durham Call Head Office 905-509-5005 B l a i s d a l e MONTESSORI School SPACES AVAILABLE IN AJAX & PICKERING PRE-TODDLER PROGRAM (12 mo.-18 mo.)

The trio were caught by Durham Regional Police in the com- mission of a robbery in Pickering in May of 2003, as they pursued a terrified clerk who’d run out the door of his shop to escape the gang. The Crown is applying under a section of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) to have the two young men sentenced as adults. The YCJA replaced the Young Offenders Act in April of 2003. The new legislation seeks alternative measures to jail time for youthful, non-violent of- fenders, but also contains provisions al- lowing for harsher treatment for repeat and violent offenders. According to the legislation, one of the circumstances under which harsher sentences can be meted out is when youths are found guilty of crimes for which an adult would be sentenced to penitentiary time of more than two years in custody. Last November Christopher Junior Brown, an adult, was sentenced to nine years for participating in three of the robberies in which the two young men were involved; Mr. Newell said he’d seek 15-year terms for the youths. Carlos Ripell, the lawyer for one of the young men, said sending them to a penitentiary would violate the spirit of the YCJA, which stresses rehabilitation over punitive measures such as incar- ceration. “Rehabilitation is a key factor in the new act,” he told the judge. Mr. Ripell and another defence lawyer, Sam Scratch, have called a number of expert witnesses who have testified that the young men, both of whom have been diagnosed as having conduct dis- order, would benefit far more from time spent in a youth facility, with education and counselling. Conduct disorder is characterized as a pattern of behaviour in which in- dividuals display little or no regard for the rights of others, or societal norms and standards. The disorder is often manifested in anti-social and criminal behaviour such as that on the records of the two young men now facing sentenc- ing, Justice Salmers has heard. We dnesday Mr. Newell said the two young men must be held accountable. “Conduct disorder is not a sickness,” he said. “These two don’t suffer from anything. It’s not like cancer.” The ruling is expected Oct. 6.

NEWS ADVERTISER Suspects caught pursuing Pickering store clerk Just one more way to get your news, thanks to the News Advertiser newsdurhamregion.com ✦ Suspects, From Page 1 Neighbourhood escaped major damage as trees come down in storm By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — A mighty wind blew through Pickering Wednesday, knock- ing down several trees, including one that landed on a car. Anne Ballyns lives on Meadowlane Crescent, next door to the house where the tree fell on the car. She said the tree had partially been uprooted but the car escaped with barely a scratch; there was no other major damage on the street. She was at home near Dixie Road, south of Third Concession Road, when she heard what she thought was a truck around 2 p.m. “I happened to be upstairs and I heard a roaring noise, something unusually loud,” Ms. Ballyns said. What she saw when she looked out the window scared her into seeking cover in her basement. “I saw a violent storm, like what you’d see on TV during a hurricane in Florida,” she said, adding she saw branches and leaves flying through the air. “I realized the roar was the wind. “It was absolutely wild.” Richard Holborn, division head of municipal property and engineering with the City of Pickering, said the dam- age from the afternoon thunderstorm seemed to be isolated. “In terms of damage we had to deal with, there were four or five trees that were down on Sideline Four,” he said, adding some of them were completely uprooted and were blocking the road. There were also trees down near the eastern end of the Fifth Concession Road and on Kinsale Road, north of Hwy. 7, in addition to the one on Mead- owlane Crescent. Mr. Holborn said crews were quickly dispatched to remove the trees from the road and they went back on Thursday to clean up the mess. “We make sure we get the trees off the road so cars can get through, that’s our No. 1 priority,” he said. None of the roads are high-traffic areas and Mr. Holborn said the downed trees did not cause traffic problems. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 14, 2005 PAGE 3 P 905-426-9611 • Get your license 4 months earlier • 25 Hrs.

Reporter Mike Ruta and photographer Walter Pas- sarella will retell the stories they’ve heard and the things they’ve seen in this summer- long series which will be published each Sunday. By Mike Ruta Staff Writer IQALUIT — Blood on the boot. Saroomie Manik rushed into her Reso- lute Bay home at around 11:30 p.m. one night and urged her sons to take a look at it. And then she went into the bedroom to her husband, proudly lifting her boot for him to see too. The blood meant that her hunt, her first, solo polar bear hunt, had been a success. Ms. Manik had hunted polar bear be- fore with her husband and son, but they were working that day, so she decided to face the challenge of going alone, setting off on her snowmobile around 4:30 p.m. “I saw the polar bear about 7:30,” she recounts matter-of-factly. “I shot it and I cut it up.” It’s that simple in Nunavut, where hunting is maybe the most integral part of Inuit culture. The Inuit hunt, with none of the controversy that comes with the sport (murder, some would say) in southern Ontario. But hunting wasn’t so much recreation as survival for the Inuit of old. Virtually everything they required in order to live came from land and sea creatures: Food ranging from seal and Arctic char, salmon to caribou and rab- bit; skins and fur for clothing to keep out the cold and wet; tools and other imple- ments from bone, sinew and antler; and even light and heat in the form of marine mammal oil burned in a bowl called a qulliq. To day, hunters from Europe and the south come for some of the biggest game in the world. Polar bear, the Earth’s larg- est land carnivore at up to 544 kilograms. Caribou and the massive muskox and walrus. The quarry might also include geese, rabbit and ptarmigan. Matthew Alainga, 37, was born and raised in Iqaluit. The shop teacher at In- uksuk High School, he teaches students Inuit craftsmanship, including the build- ing of a qamatik, or sled. Pulled behind a snowmobile, it’s essential for carrying supplies, and the meat from your hunt. “In my line of work, I can only go on weekends,” he says. He says caribou, which once migrated close to Iqaluit, even through it, occa- sionally, for the past three years have been much farther away. As a result, when he and a party go on a hunt, Mr. Alainga says they try and get five or six. The hunters track the animals, which roam in herds, huge in some parts of the north, until they locate them. “We just drive up really slow so the meat is still tender when we catch it,” he explains. “When it’s been running too fast the muscles are very tight (and it affects the flavour).” The hunt might last a day, but if not, a sleepover out on the land is required. Mr. Alainga says there are three options for accommodations: a number of cabins are strewn around the Iqaluit area, tents, or, if it’s really windy, an igloo. Upon returning to town after a successful hunt, it’s time for a celebration with family and friends. “Usually there’s quite a few people who come over to my place for an evening feast,” he says. Asked how the Inuit eat caribou, Mr. Alainga replies, “any way it comes I guess.” When it’s raw, caribou and other local delicacies, known as country food, are eaten frozen, perhaps with a dip. Meat can be used in a stir fry, ground up for burgers, eaten as steaks and roasts and other cuts. He says the Inuit have a use for virtually everything on a caribou, leaving very little unused. Pauloosie Lucaussie is an Inuit guide who takes hunters out on trips, including for polar bear. Born and raised outside of Iqaluit, he’s 58. Translating from the Inuktitut, Mr. Alainga says hunters gener- ally come to the north unprepared for the conditions. “The people that he takes out have no experience,” he says. “I guess he’s got to baby them. Some of them don’t bring the appropriate clothing for the north so he has to dress them.” A polar bear hunt might mean a three- or four-day trip. Mr. Lucaussie says there are a lot, too many polar bears in the Iqa- luit area. As a result, their main prey, the ringed seal, is becoming scarce and the bears have to travel farther to find them. G enerally, he says, polar bears tend to attack people and are the most feared animal in the north. A hunter who gets too close to one is in danger. Even a brief, non-hunting trip on the land requires precautions. “Because there’s a high number of polar bears, every time we go out on a snowmobile ride, we have to bring a rifle,” Mr. Lucaussie says. Some bears even come right into Iqa- luit, and hikers are warned not to go too far outside of town unless they have a rifle. Mr. Lucaussie notes that real courage was found in former days, when the Inuit didn’t yet have rifles for hunting. Even though he’s almost 60, Mr. Lucaussie says that was before his time, but that his fa- ther told him about old-time hunting. “They used to catch caribou just with harpoons, no rifles,” he says with a smile. “So you’d have to be fearless to go after polar bears.” newsdurhamregion.com searchkeyword:nunavut2005 Next week: THE INUIT PEOPLE, good-natured, resourceful and proud PHOTOS: Top, Saroomie Manik of Resolute Bay poses with a polar bear skin.

That reminder is posted on the website of Canadian Blood Services, which is currently teaming up with Lakeridge Health in an effort to increase blood donations in the region. Donations decline in summer months, when people are on vacation and have their minds on the lazy, carefree days of summer. But the demand for blood never takes a holiday. Accidents happen. Hospitals need to be at the ready with adequate blood supplies should an incident occur involving dozens of trauma patients. Almost 137,000 people in this country are diagnosed with cancer every year, and those pa- tients need blood or blood products to survive treatment. According to Canadian Blood Services, the number of organ transplants has increased steadily from 16 per one mil- lion Canadians in 1981 to 69 per one million in 2000. Organ transplants are lengthy procedures that require significant amounts of blood. There are many other surgical procedures and emergencies that can require blood or blood products. In Durham, Lakeridge Health and the Canadian Blood Services are offering blood-typing clinics so residents can determine their blood type and get a better understanding of the need to donate. Currently, there is a nationwide campaign underway in an effort to collect 175,387 units of blood, plasma and platelets, and combat a traditionally slow time of year for donations. As an incentive, the chance to win prizes is being offered to those who participate. But the biggest incentive, perhaps, should be the thought of what would happen to yourself or a loved one, should a medical emergency occur and blood was in short supply or unavailable. Residents who give blood this summer are being joined by emergency services personnel, who are competing against each other in a Sirens for Life campaign. Firefighters, police and ambulance workers see first-hand the need for blood, and are donating through the summer months to see which team can donate the most units. Records are being kept at blood donor clinics, and residents can donate on behalf of a team. Durham residents can attend the blood-typing booths on the following dates and locations: Tuesday, Aug. 16, Lakeridge Health Oshawa in front lobby, 2-8 p.m.; Tuesday, Aug. 23, Lakeridge Health Whitby in front lobby, 1-5 p.m.; or Tuesday, Sept. 6, Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, ground floor outside elevator A, 11:30 a.m.- 4 p.m. In the meantime, to find the nearest donor clinic, inquire about eligibility information, or to schedule an appointment any time of year to give blood, call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888- 236-6283). Lives depend upon it. We need laws to protect the unborn To the editor: I have been deeply disturbed and saddened by the recent murder of Liana White and her unborn child in Edmonton. As Canadians, I believe this affects us all and I extend my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. What further disturbs me in this case is that our present law only allows the murderer to be charged with one murder as her unborn child is not protected under law. This is unthinkable. What has our nation come to that our law does not even allow us to charge this murderer for killing the baby as well as his or her mother? I call on Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland and our national politicians to enact com- passionate and common-sense legislation that will allow true justice to be done.

Culture of violence growing in Ajax and Pickering, too The explosion of gun violence that’s rocked Toronto in the past few weeks is our problem, too. There are among us some -- typically younger, bolder, and unencumbered by respect for the law -- who accept outlandish violence as a response to disputes and a solution to problems. A recent case in a Durham courtroom illustrated this quite aptly. A 20-some- thing Malvern kid -- his street name is Scarlton -- was on trial in connection with a disturbance at a youth dance in the fall of 2003. Scarlton and another man were accused of pulling their hand- guns and firing several shots, hitting two young men and sending hundreds of kids running, panicked, outside. Scarlton, according to testimony, didn’t like the way another kid was dancing. When the kid’s friend stood up for his buddy, bullets flew. Durham cops picked up one suspect that night. Detectives in Ajax worked the case relentlessly to pursue the re- maining shooter, whom several sources reluctantly identified as Scarlton. When he was put on trial this past winter, however, the case against Scarl- ton unravelled. Some witnesses were visibly uncomfortable on the stand, especially when Scarlton’s supporters showed up to stare at them from the courtroom benches. One kid fled to the United States after police informed him his life was in danger and encouraged him to enter the witness protection pro- gram. Some of the young men called by the Crown were so agitated they would not look toward Scarlton, who sat shack- led in the prisoner’s dock. Their shaky, sometimes evasive testimony was picked apart by an able defence lawyer. When Scarlton was acquitted, he looked over his shoulder at a detective seated behind him. A slow smile spread across his face and he reached up and swept at his shoulder, like a man chas- ing dandruff. He was brushing the cops off his back. But Scarlton didn’t walk out of the Whitby courthouse a free man. He was shuttled back to Toronto, where he was being held on other charges. His co-ac- cused pleaded guilty a few weeks later. This culture of violence is building here -- on the streets in Oshawa and Whitby, on crowded dance floors in Ajax and Pickering. How long before innocent victims are caught in the cross-fire?

We’re all caught in the crossfire Jeff Mitchell staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com from within OPG and in the nuclear industry at large to refurbish these old lemon nuclear plants.” Pierre Charlebois, OPG’s chief nuclear officer, said there would be no job losses because of the decision. “We expect to be able to redeploy the people after we de-fuel and de-water the reactors to our 10 operating units. We can accommodate staff through these rede- ployments,” Mr. Charlebois stated. Mr. Hankinson noted, “There’s considerable un- certainty in regard to the remaining life of the units. (Due to) the associated op- erating costs and plant per- formance, the decision was made the return could not be justified. “This decision is not to be seen as a rejection of nucle- ar power, which represents 40 per cent of OPG’s output. Far from it. The skills our people have developed and the knowledge they have gained from returning units 4 and 1 can be put to good service upgrading the 10 units in our fleet as we go forward.” Mr. Charlebois added, “It’s technically possible to restart the units and they could be run safely: and run safely for several years.” But the refurbishment work would have been more extensive than on Units 1 and 4, he noted. An enhanced shutdown system had been installed in Unit 4 prior to refurbish- ment and had been partly installed in Unit 1. But, “very little” work had been done on Units 2 and 3. “The implementation would have added to the cost and time needed to bring the remaining units back into service,” he stated. “Part of the decision is not only the upfront cost investment. The ongoing operating and maintenance and projected performance capacity factor didn’t make it technically vi- able or feasible.” durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 14, 2005 PAGE 7 P Wayne Hutchinson 696 King St. W.

More and more families these days are discovering that camping with an expandable Camper Trailer is one of the best ways to experience Ontario’s world class Provincial Parks and Campgrounds. While many fami- lies have never considered camping with an Expandable Camper Trailer (sometimes referred to as Folding Trailer), many are fi nding that it’s a lot easier and more affordable than they think. Young families with kids There may be no better experi- ence than spending time with your family camping and exploring On- tario! Ontario has vast areas protected by our system of literally hundreds of provincial parks encompassing almost every type of geographical landscape and scenery. When it comes to activities, there’s always lots to see and do. Many parks feature amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, mini- golf, or rentals of bikes, boats and movies. In a trailer there’s plenty of room to pack bikes, a soccer ball, fris- bee, rollerblades, or favorite games and toys. Busy families When the weekend comes, it’s no problem to just take off to a fa- vourite park or campground. Many families keep all the basic things ready in their Camper Trailer, waiting for them. That way on a Friday after- noon they can just grab a few clothes together, stop at the supermarket on the way, and they are all set for the weekend. Families on a budget With an Expandable Camper Trailer you can travel in high season and not worry about hotel, airfare and restaurant costs adding up… and you’re always sure of great accommo- dations. Brand new Camper Trailers can be purchased for about the price of a couple of family vacations, and can be fi nanced for as little as $120/ month or less. Reward yourself and your fam- ily this year, take a vacation every weekend! Families who love to travel and explore in Ontario – and save money, should experience the freedom and enjoyment of camping with a Folding Trailer from Holiday World. If you want to learn more about camping with a Folding Trailer in Ontario’s magnifi cent outdoors, drop by Holiday World (Hwy 115/35 Bow- manville …browsers always wel- come!) or check out the great links on our website (www.holidayworld. ca) to learn just how easy it is to get going!

Our season begins in October and ends in the middle of June. We finish with our Ajax Comets Annual Recital.” The group is comprised of adoles- cent and teenage girls. “Our athletes range from ages 4 to 18,” Reid said. “They’re split up based on age and ability, so if there’s a 10- year-old who’s a natural, she could be working with the older girls.” The club is also split up into recre- ational and competitive groups. “The recreational group is more geared to fun, there’s nothing super difficult. The competitive group is a bit more focused. Because they go to competitions, there’s the more serious aspect. They’re expected to practice more than once a week.” The group’s hard work has paid off with success. “We won the title of junior ‘B’ Parade Corps at the 2005 Ontario Baton Twirl- ing Championships at Durham Col- lege,” she said. The club is well-known around the community thanks to its numerous performances. “Every year we perform at Fairview Lodge and Ballycliffe. We perform at the Santa Claus parades in Ajax and Pickering, as well as at Ajax Home Week and the Brooklin Spring Fair.” The recital caps the year off. “All of our athletes perform, it’s a lot of fun,” said Ms. Reid. “Every class gets to do their routine, with their friends and family watching. The girls have fun, and every ath- lete gets a trophy. Plus we give out awards like perfect attendance, most improved, and best new athlete.” Ms. Reid encourages anyone who thinks their children would enjoy baton twirling to get them involved. “It’s a fun atmosphere, and it provides kids with an extra-curricular activity. It teach- es different skills. It’s a great sport, a combination of gymnastics, dance and baton twirling.” The club hosts its registration night Thursday, Sept. 8, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Cen- tennial Rd.

Comets keep twirling along Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo The Ajax Comets Baton Club is marking 10 years of offering fun and recreational baton twirling. Each year caps off with a recital at the Ajax Community Centre. At this year’s event, Sarah Boyd performed a solo for the crowd. Making his delivery DURHAM — The Ajax Cricket Club recently hosted a friendly game with the under-19 team from Argentina.

For Great Job Opportunities check out our general employment section durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 14, 2005 PAGE 15 A/P Arthritis Most people attribute arthritis (osteoarthritis) to old age. This is not the case at all. Osteoarthritis is caused by the improper wear and tear of joints. Symptoms are early morning stiffness, stiff after periods of rest, pain that worsens with joint motion, back or neck pain, loss of function, local tenderness, ‘cracking joints’ and swelling. Most people take painkillers but are unaware of the side effects such as stomach irritation leading to bleeding ulcers as well as kidney and liver damage. When a vertebral joint gets “stuck” or what is called “subluxated” it does not move properly anymore and the cartilage in the joint begins to break down. The breakdown of these joints occurs over a very long period of time and may or may not produce symptoms. Over time the cartilage thins, the discs shrivel and the joints decay and change shape leading to bone spurs and eventually can even lead to the fusion of the joints. Most importantly, this can effect the nerves exiting in between each joint, leading to problems such as pinched nerves and pain. Chiropractors adjust subluxations and restore motion to vertebral joints. This produces proper mechanics so there is not improper wear and tear and helps to avoid joint decay. A recent study showed that of 232 arthritis patients, 73 percent found chiropractic helpful and half of the patients used alternative therapy because their prescribed medications were ineffective. Painkillers treat the symptoms, Chiropractic helps to treat the cause of the problem as opposed to the symptoms created by the problem. Have you Heard?
