PICKERING — This year’s mu-
nicipal election in Pickering isn’t
much of a race yet.
Candidates have been able to file
their nomination papers since Jan.
2, and to date just six have registered
– one for mayor, one for trustee, one
for Ward 3 city, one for Ward 2 re-
gional, one for Ward 3 regional and
one for Ward 1 city. The election is
Nov. 13.
Despite the short list of candi-
dates, Pickering clerk Debi Bentley
isn’t worried that there won’t be a
full slate of candidates for voters to
choose from.
With the deadline to file nomi-
nation papers not until the end of
September, she said it is still early.
Add to that the number of elections
Pickering residents have had in the
past few years and the slow start
seems reasonable.
“With the fact that we had the
federal election and everything so
close. We had a lot of elections back
to back,” she said.
Michael Bellmore, president of
the Pickering East Shore Commu-
nity Association (PESCA), agreed it
is still early.
“My feeling is there are probably
candidates sitting back to see which
current councillors are going to run
again,” he said.
Pickering municipal race off to slow start
Four would cover
three kilometres
around nuclear station
By Keith Gilligan
Staff Writer
PICKERING — Public alerting
sirens should be installed and op-
erational by the end of the year.
Joe Hunwicks, Pickering’s com-
munity emergency management
co-ordinator, said four sirens will
be installed, although more may
be added if testing finds areas
where the sound of the alarms
isn’t loud enough.
Once the four are installed,
commissioning and testing would
be done to ensure the sirens can
be heard in all areas within three
kilometres of the nuclear station.
“We want to ensure people can
hear them,” Mr. Hunwicks said
during a meeting of the Pickering
nuclear station’s community advi-
sory committee on Tuesday.
“It should be a win-win (situa-
tion) and (we can) lay this to rest
by the end of the year.”
The issue of installing sirens has
been controversial in Pickering,
primarily because the first plan
called for 29 of the devices to be
put up within three kilometres of
the nuclear station. Residents and
city officials balked at that many
sirens, many of which would be
installed on private property.
The matter was looked at again
and acoustical experts found that
four sirens would easily meet the
need.
A consultant hired by Pickering
studied the sound levels in the
three-km zone and it’s “quite a
quiet area,” Mr. Hunwicks said.
“The premise was there was much
more noise here. Our consultant
found a much lower noise level.
It’s quieter and fewer sirens are
needed.”
He noted 29 sirens would “create
a phenomenal amount of sound,”
adding that many could be harm-
ful.
Ontario Power Generation
bought 29 sirens and Durham Re-
gion would be responsible for the
installation.
“Four locations isn’t very intru-
sive,” Mr. Hunwicks stated.
Three would be in the east-

PICKERING — West Durham’s re-
cent designation as a Family Health
Te am area is one way the health-care
needs of Ajax and Pickering residents
are being addressed.
Dr. Howard Petroff believes hav-
ing that type of medical facility could
help attract not only physicians to the
area, but also all kinds of health-care
professionals.
“From my experience with trainees
so far, working in a multi-disciplinary
type of environment is very attractive
and newer graduates tend to go to
those types of environments,” he said.
Dr. Petroff is chief of family practice
at the Rouge Valley Health System
and led the application for the des-
ignation. Family Health Teams (FHT)
are a different way of offering primary
care to patients. They include doctors,
nurses, nurse practitioners, pharma-
cists, dieticians, physician special-
ists, social workers, health educators,
mental health workers and other
health-care providers.
The interdisciplinary teams work
together to provide better access to
24-hour care. The Province has now
designated 150 areas in Ontario, with
the West Durham team being part of
the last batch of 50 announced earlier
this month.
Once the FHT centre is up and run-
ning, which could happen as early as
this time next year, Dr. Petroff said it
would give the community another
tool with which to attract health-care
professionals.
“Being able to recruit new physi-
cians to this type of environment can
really help out training programs,” he
said. “The great experience we’re able
to offer to trainees -- it gives us an op-
portunity to attract and retain them.”
Dr. Petroff was speaking at the
official announcement made by
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne
Arthurs at the Pickering Civic Com-
plex April 21.
“The opportunity of working with
other health-care professionals with
other expertise and being able to ac-
cess support for your patients (is an
attractive environment),” he said.
Mr. Arthurs said the FHT announce-
ment is just part of the government’s
commitment to health care in this
area, in addition to the redevelop-
ment announcement for the Rouge
Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital
made in March.
“This community is going to grow,”
he said. “We all know this. The timing
is good for this.”
Mayor Dave Ryan called the an-
nouncement exciting.
“Family Health Teams are just one
more facet of the health-care system
in this area,” he said.
“Finding new ways to deliver
health-care services to all people in
the community is a challenge every
level of government and governments
of every stripe must deal with.”

ern area of Pickering, with
a fourth in the west end,
in an industrial area. Mr.
Hunwicks was to travel
around the City Thursday
with councillors to show the
exact locations.
“Public education efforts”
will also be undertaken, he
noted, “especially when
we’re doing the testing. We
have to sound off the si-
rens.”
Education includes “what
to do if they really go off.”
If the sirens had been in-
stalled “since Day 1” of the
nuclear station’s operation,
there hasn’t been an inci-
dent requiring the sounding
of the alarms, Mr. Hunwicks
said.
“We’re truly erring on the
side of security.”
Sirens are required
around nuclear stations in
the U.S. once the station
starts operating, he said.
“We’re playing catch-up.”
While the sirens are only
for incidents at the nuclear
station, the City “drove the
need to get a public alert-
ing system in place. There’s
been far too much empha-
sis on nuclear.”
Mr. Hunwicks stated the
“most likely scenario to de-
clare a public emergency”
in Pickering would involve
an incident on a rail-line or
Hwy. 401.
A nuclear emergency
would be “number 10”
of possible scenarios, he
added.
The four sirens would
only cover the three-kilo-
metre “contiguous zone”
around the station.
Some local politicians
have called for sirens cover-
ing a 10-km area.
If the zone was widened
to 10km, sirens would be
needed in Ajax and Scarbor-
ough, Mr. Hunwicks noted.
“Ten to 12 sirens would
be needed to go out to 10
kilometres,” he said. “We
want to deal with the con-
tiguous zone first.
“The issue to go to 10km is
still on the table,” he added.
✦ Widening from page 1
Widening zones would
mean up to 12 sirens
While that may be the case,
the number of candidates
registered in other Durham
municipalities is much high-
er.
“It’s disappointing,” Mr.
Bellmore said Monday.
“Pickering has four (six as of
April 25) names and other
municipalities -- Oshawa has
25 candidates, Ajax 12 and
Clarington nine.”
Ms. Bentley said while a
lot of people haven’t regis-
tered, there has been a “reg-
ular stream of calls.” People
have been asking questions
about school board, running
in general, how the wards are
set up and if regional council-
lors run at large.
“That’s a positive sign,” Ms.
Bentley said.
The City has put informa-
tion about the election on its
website and run some ads,
but Ms. Bentley said the big
awareness push won’t come
for a month or so.
“It will basically be June
before we put key ads in the
paper,” she said.
This doesn’t mean the City
hasn’t begun its preparations.
The advance voting locations
have been set, the referen-
dum question regarding the
election of the regional chair-
man position has been set,
and Ms. Bentley has been
speaking with area clerks
about organizing a candidate
information night, probably
in September.
Mr. Bellmore has some ad-
vice for those who may be
waiting before making a deci-
sion.
“If a new person is consid-
ering coming out and run-
ning, I would definitely en-
courage them to do so now
so we can get to know them,”
he said.

‘Durham should take
the lead’ says councillor
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Members of the Region’s
works committee are concerned with the
sludge, known as Nitro-sorb, being spread
on farmers’ fields and the part Durham
plays in it.
“Durham Region should take the lead
and say, ‘we are not going there’,” Oshawa
Councillor Cathy Clarke said. “We are a
huge part of this cycle and we have to take
responsibility. I have seen enough that
says to me we shouldn’t be doing this.”
Nitro-sorb is made when paper sludge,
left over from the recycling process, is
mixed with compost.
“This stuff (Nitro-sorb) was a waste up
until a few years ago,” Oshawa Councillor
John Neal said.
“The jury is still out on whether it is
harmful to the environment.”
The committee on April 26 considered
approval for the works department to
enter into negotiations for an acceptable
contract with the company that is picking
up its paper material.
The motion was referred back to staff to
have them further clarify the conditions of
the tender.
The compost processing contract with
Waste Management of Canada Corp. for
the composting of residential Christmas
trees, leaves and garden and yard waste
expired March 31.
It provided the service for the past two
years at a site located on Thornton Road
North in Oshawa and the site, owned by
Courtice Auto Wreckers, is licensed under
a provincial certificate of approval.
A tender was issued for the contract and
bids were received from Waste Manage-
ment of Canada Corp. and Miller Waste
Systems. However both bids were deemed
non-compliant and rejected.
Committee heard that due to the im-
practicality of reissuing the tender, the Re-
gion entered into discussions with Waste
Management. It’s quoted price, $812,241,
is based on the assumption the company
can mix the product with other materi-
als to make Nitro-sorb for use in Durham
Region, which members of the works com-
mittee took issue with.
“If Nitro is excluded then the price will
go up,” works commissioner Cliff Curtis
said.
The mix is being spread on farmers’
fields in Durham and because it is consid-
ered a “product” and not waste it is exempt
from waste management regulations.
“I think we need a little more control
over where the product is going,” Coun.
Clarke said.
She explained that by recycling the Re-
gion is taking responsibility for its waste.
“If it ends up on farmers’ fields I don’t
think that is very responsible,” she said.
Brock Mayor Keith Shier added the
whole matter of Nitro concerns him.
“The biggest problem is there is no en-
forcement,” he said. “The ministry (of en-
vironment) turned their back on it and
ignore it. And we can’t prove one way or
another that it is good or bad.”
Coun. Neal said Dr. Robert Kyle, the Re-
gion’s medical officer of health, has made
a number of requests for the Province to
respond to the independent expert panel
that the ministry assembled in February
2004.
The panel studied health and environ-
mental threats associated with Sound-
sorb, a similar product created when paper
fibre bio-solids are mixed with soil.
According to John Steele, a communi-
cations representative with the MOE, no
conclusions have yet been made on the
panel’s recommendations.
“We are still looking at regulatory ap-
proaches for both Sound-sorb and Nitro-
sorb,” he said.
Nitro-sorb has regional works committee concerned

EDITORIAL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Region should go
slow on Nitro-sorb
Members of Durham Region’s works committee are
right to urge caution before the Region steps in
with both feet to sign a contract to produce Nitro-
sorb.
The controversial material, a mixture of paper sludge and
compost, has been used for years on farm fields in north
Durham. In recent times, however, complaints have been
raised by environmental watchdog groups like Protect the
Ridges. Concerns have been brought to the fore over the
content of Nitro-sorb and whether it can have a damaging
effect on the water supply.
At the moment, the Region has a contract out for tender
but rejected bids by Waste Management of Canada and
Miller Waste due to non-compliance. Still, the Region has
entered into discussions with Waste Management on a
quoted price of $812,241 -- but the contract would include
mixing compost with paper sludge. Works commissioner
Cliff Curtis said that if Nitro-sorb is excluded from the agree-
ment with Waste Management, the cost for disposal would
go up.
The worries about Nitro-Sorb have parallels with con-
cerns raised about a similar product, Sound-sorb, which is a
mix of paper bio-solids and soil. Protect the Ridges has been
vigilant about the spread of Sound-sorb in north Durham
over the years and has presented a number of complaints to
the ministry of the environment.
Works committee members Cathy Clarke and John Neal,
both Oshawa councillors, along with Brock Mayor Keith
Shier, have all expressed worries over the proliferation of
paper sludge mixes. As Mayor Shier said in committee, “The
biggest problem is there is no enforcement. The ministry (of
the environment) turned their back on it and ignored it. And
we can’t prove one way or another that it is good or bad.”
That’s precisely the point. There is still too much that is
not fully understood about Sound-sorb and Nitro-sorb. Is it
harmless? Can it affect the environment? Is it damaging to
sources of drinking water?
Coun. Clarke has urged a cautious approach and that is
the best way to go at this point. She says the ministry of the
environment is about to provide an answer about whether it
will tighten the regulations around Nitro-sorb as of June 6.
A little more time is the most sensible course to protect
the health of Durham residents.
Costs just keep going up and up and up
To the editor:
Have you noticed how every time there is a tax increase or
an increase in your utilities you get some public servant say-
ing it’s only four per cent or two per cent, etc.
They conveniently forget that last year there was a similar
increase.
And what about natural gas? Does anyone remember how
we were told we had the second largest reserves in the world
and that it would be a cheap source of energy for eons. So a
whole bunch of us converted to natural gas and then the gas
companies tell us these reserves are hard to get at and we
may have over-estimated the amounts.
So our gas goes up 130 per cent in one year and the bu-
reaucrats in the energy protection branch who are supposed
to look after the people of Ontario’s interests reply that maybe
this will teach the consumer to conserve.
With this kind of protection I can live without it thanks.

whose submissions have been cho-

A lonely teen, yearning for friend-
ship and validation.
A predatory pedophile, seek-
ing to sate his twisted desires.
An online meeting that leads to
chat, then more.
It’s a scenario that’s played out re-
peatedly.
The circumstances vary, but at the
core of it are the same sordid ele-
ments: children preyed upon by men
who seek them out and, using the ano-
nymity afforded them by the Internet,
groom them to become the objects of
their aberrant sexual hunger.
Ju st this week a Durham man was
sent to a federal penitentiary for three
years after being found guilty of luring
and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old
girl.
Posing as a 19-year-old, the man --
in reality a diminutive Grade 4 teach-
er, age 37 -- first gained the trust of the
child, then arranged to meet her. They
repeatedly had sex at his mother’s
house, a jury heard during his trial.
Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean
commented that the anonymity of the
Internet allowed the man to attract
and deceive a child who otherwise
would likely have had nothing to do
with him.
“She would not have joined in the
activity if she had known his true age
at the time,” Justice McLean said. “He
was aware of her age -- he lied about
his age.
“He knew sexual intercourse with
her was wrong.”
Parents may grow weary of the bar-
rage of reminders about the dangers
lurking on the Internet; sometimes
the warnings of such menaces, to be
sure, can border on the hysterical.
But the fact remains there are
predators out there who know where
your children congregate online. They
know the lingo they use; they know
what to say to gain the trust of vulner-
able children and exploit them.
But it makes no more sense to ban
kids from the Internet than it does to
forever cloister them indoors for fear
something bad will happen should
they venture out.
Just as we streetproof our kids, so
should they be made aware, in clear
terms, of the bad people who lie in
wait in the vast, anonymous universe
that is the Worldwide Web.
To borrow phrase from some old
hippies: Teach Your Children Well.

College,
university
tuitions on
the rise
By Crystal Crimi
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Fees are going up for
Durham College and University of On-
tario Institute of Technology students.
UOIT and DC’s board of governors
approved proposed tuition increases
for the 2006/07 year during their April
19 meeting.
“Our college fees on average will
go up about five per cent,” said Paul
McErlean, vice-president of finance for
DC and UOIT.
The adjustments will see most basic
programs at the college increase by
$100, or 5.5 per cent, for first-year stu-
dents in 2006/07, according to a report
presented at the meeting. Tuition for
high-demand programs will go up by
eight per cent. The report says a multi-
fee structure is anticipated next year.
“The good news is a student will be
able to look at a guidebook and see
their fees for the duration of their pro-
gram,” said Mr. McErlean.
For most college post-secondary
programs, the increase means tuition is
going from $1,820 in 2005/06 to $1,920
in 2006/07 for first-year students. Sub-
sequent program years at the college
and university are getting a four-per
cent increase.
Courses including gas technician 2
and heating, ventilation and air condi-
tioning techniques are going up 7.8 per
cent for first-year students, from $1,914
to $2,063. Deregulated programs, in-
cluding dental hygiene, will rise eight
per cent for first-year students, as will
high-demand programs such as ad-
dictions counselling and paramedic
advanced care.
Non-tuition fees at the Oshawa cam-
pus are $771.58 and include a new
$100 U-Transit Pass and $25 more for
the athletic centre expansion fee. Stu-
dents at the Whitby campus will have
the same fees, minus a $23 security fee
for 24-hour computer access.
At UOIT, fees for business, engineer-
ing and graduate programs will in-
crease by eight per cent and all other
programs will go up about 4.5 per
cent.
Mr. McErlean said the tuition in-
crease is the maximum allowed by the
Province.
“Every university is trying to get
to the maximum allowable,” he said.
Those attempts are tied to the gov-
ernment’s push on quality, which is
causing universities to step up and try
to lower the student-to-teacher ratio.
Included in the report was a multi-
year schedule showing fees from the
2006/07 year to 2009-10. For a bach-
elor of engineering, a first-year stu-
dent would pay $4,906 in 2006/07 and
$6,181 in 2009/10.
Mr. McErlean said before tuition in-
creases are approved, they are pre-
sented to the student government with
hopes of receiving a letter of support,
which they obtained this year.

Are you tired of clutter in your home?
Is having too much stuff causing you stress?
Then you need your home decluttered and organized once and for all.
We lead busy and stressful lives, which can leave our homes disorganized and full of
clutter. Each task takes longer because we spend our time looking for items instead of
having them at our fi ngertips. Our “To Do” lists get longer and unmanageable all leading to
unnecessary stress. Having tons of stuff also weighs and tires your mind. You could feel so
liberated and light if you let go of the items you don’t need, use or love.
Once you let go of all unnecessary items, the next step is to organize everything to
make your home and life effi cient again. Most people have good intentions to organize
themselves or the people they live with. They buy the bins, the magazines and books on
organizing, and try to do it themselves. After months and years of trying, their home is still
full of clutter and disorganized and they end up feeling more stressed and frustrated.
So, what is the solution? Professional Organizing. Professional Organizers will come
into your home and offer an amazing life-transforming service by turning your disorganized
space full of clutter into an enjoyable home again. It’s the fastest way to simplify your life.
There are many advantages of using the services of a Professional Organizer.A
Professional Organizer is not emotionally attached to your clutter and can offer objective
encouragement to clients to get rid of things that are not needed and are blocking time and
effort from important matters in their life. Instead of taking months and years, Professional
Organizers can declutter and organize your home in a matter of days. You can say goodbye
to that overwhelming feeling and added stress and just simplify things.
Your home, and thus your life, can receive an instant makeover and you can learn how to
keep it that way with the services provided by a Professional Organizer.
Just imagine coming home from a hectic day to an organized space where you can
relax and enjoy time for yourself and your family. That is the result of having your home
decluttered and organized once and for all!

It may seem like an old-fashioned idea but cooking meals with fresh, whole ingredients
is quickly becoming the latest “in thing”. People around the globe are saying “enough”
to fast food and embracing the slow food movement. Slow food is about eating fresh
food and taking the time to prepare it. The philosophy is that food should be lovingly
prepared and shared. It can bring couples together after a frenzied day apart. You can
connect with each other as you create and share your evening meal. Cooking and
eating together may also be the glue that keeps families connected. A recent study from
Columbia University shows that teens who eat family dinners fi ve or more times a week
were 42 per cent less likely to drink alcohol, 59 per cent less likely to smoke and 66 per
cent less likely to try marijuana. They were also 40 per cent more likely to get grades of
A’s and B’s. Health, happiness and harmony. Now, if only you knew
how to cook!
Why not start with a cooking class. George Brown College
in Toronto offers intensive evening and weekend courses
in everything from Greek to Vietnamese. If you want to
stay closer to home, check out what’s being offered
Upstairs at Loblaws and the Superstore. They have lots
of one night classes in a variety of cuisines. Or, if you’re
the type who will only go into the kitchen if that’s where
the party is, book an in-home cooking class like those
offered by Durham’s Cuisine Scene. Invite your friends
and family and sit back and relax while a culinary
instructor teaches you the secrets to cooking great
Thai, Indian, Mediterranean and more in your own
home.

a little know-how and the right ingredients...
2 Mango’s (not very ripe)
1 tbsp. peanut oil
3 cloves garlic (chopped)

2 tsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp unseasoned

just combined. Add 2 tablespoons of water until a thick paste forms. Keep
adding water, 2 tablespoons at a time until the sauce has a consistency similar
to mayonnaise.

Are you familiar with the adage that “You never get a second chance to make a
great First Impression”? If you are not, you certainly should be.
We live in a world where we are judged by our physical appearance and body language.
The book is judged by the cover and so it is in your best interest to invest in yourself to
ensure success in the business and social environment.
It does not matter what industry or social level you are in because it is human nature
to look at others and subconsciously make assumptions about them. Are you confi dent
that the assumptions others make about you are the ones you want them to make? Have
you taken a good long look at yourself lately? Do you have a full-length mirror at home
that you check each morning before you leave for the day? Is your physical presentation
to the world helping you to get ahead OR is the haphazard way you pull yourself together
each day doing you a disservice?
Confi dence is the Cardinal Rule in this day and age. Without confi dence in yourself, you
cannot instil confi dence in others. When you have to have a fi rm and unshakable belief
in yourself and your abilities, others see it, feel it and respond to it. One sure way to help
yourself feel that confi dence every day is to make the effort to present a pulled-together
image for yourself.
What is the dress code in your industry? Are you abiding by the rules or taking creative
license with it? What is your fashion personality? Are you incorporating that personality
into the industry dress code so you don’t feel stifl ed? Are your shoes scuffed and worn
or your handbag/briefcase in need of repair? Should you be wearing suspenders to keep
your pants at your waist or are they sitting below the bulge where you waist used to
be?? Have you changed your glasses in the last decade - to a more fl attering style for
your face? Are you approachable and greet others warmly or do you just want to get the
whole greeting thing out of the way as fast as possible? Stop and think about it....Are you
sabotaging your success because you have not taken the time to consider how others
perceive you? Maybe it’s time you did.

Dating at 47 is both challenging and interesting. However, I’ve been fortunate
enough to have friends who try to hook me up with the next “man of my dreams”.
My friend gave me Paul’s number and told me to call him. “We’ve told him all
about you and he’s expecting your call,” she said. Paul is one of those guys who
has never been married, doesn’t have any kids and has never really had a serious
relationship. No baggage right? Despite the red fl ag, I called him and we had a
great conversation, and I found him very charming. I agreed to his suggestion that
we get together at a local chicken joint that features a classic car cruise night in
the parking lot every Wednesday. It turns out that he is the very proud owner of a
restored 1967 Mustang, and he loves to show it off.
On our date we walked around and looked at the cars and he commented on the
engines and accessories. To be honest, I couldn’t have cared less but I thought I
would be gracious and listen, as he was so excited as he described the details. It
didn’t take long to realize that Paul’s truck, car and boat are his surrogate children.
How could he possibly fi t in a relationship, let alone dating, I wondered. After our
tour we had dinner and talked. Turns out he’s quite talented and can bare foot ski
and scuba dive! As interesting as all that was, I thought a ride in his car would be
fun. He agreed and off we went. I think I would have found it a little more exciting if
we had accelerated over 50 km/hr, but what do I know? I guess you have to baby
those classic cars. When I told him about myself, I left out the part about me being
a grandma as I thought it would freak him out or turn him off. Instead, I said that my
daughter had a son to confuse him enough so that he wouldn’t connect the dots.
“What the heck was that all about?” I asked myself later.
I wasn’t sure if I would kiss Paul goodnight or go for the handshake. I did fi nd him
attractive and it could make the difference whether or not we go for date number
two. And then there it was: the moment of truth. We kissed goodnight and as our
lips connected I thought, “Wow! Not bad.”
We planned our second date, a party at a mutual friend’s house. That Saturday
night was fun and Paul fi t in quite well with my friends. We were really hitting it off,
lots of laughs and a few drinks and I was starting to think he had potential. After
another amazing kiss goodnight I was poised for date number three.
Paul called three days later and was concerned about us dating and said that he
wasn’t sure if he had time in his life for a relationship. He told me that he had a great
time and assured me that it wasn’t me; it was him. I recognized this line before he
had fi nished saying it because I’ve used it before myself. It was a clear case of “he’s
just not that into you”. Live and learn, and above all, move on.

nip it in the bud and do something about
it. The most I’d ever lost on any diet was
probably about 30 pounds and then I
would fi nd that I would get bored, or I just
didn’t want to continue anymore. I felt too
limited on the diets and other programs
– there just wasn’t enough support.
“That’s the difference with Herbal Magic
– the support. You’re weighing in, you’re
getting nutritional advice, and they won’t
hound you if you’re a little off track.
“The Herbal Magic program itself, the
food that you eat – they show you and it
all makes sense.
If you need to improve yourself, Herbal
Magic is the way to go. If you know
something has to change in your life, you
have to try it because it works!”

Many people are discovering the benefits of
detoxification with IonCleanse foot bath sessions. A
Ioncleanse – Getting the Issues out of the Tissues!
By: Karen
Steward,
RNCP,
CNP,
PTS, LCM
footbath is truly an inviting way to
detox the body especially when it
claims to detoxify the body better
and more efficiently than any
herbal or nutritional supplement
you can buy. Participants having
an ioncleanse treatment simply
take off their shoes and socks and
immerse their feet in a warm foot
bath for 30 relaxing minutes. It is
not an ordinary foot bath though.
This foot bath contains water and
sea salt which carries a gentle
electrical charge from a multiple-
metallic array placed in the water.
This causes the metals within the
array, in combination with the
water and salt to generate positive
and negative charged ions by
separating oxygen and hydrogen
in the water. If all this sounds too
confusing, perhaps you should try
a treatment and see for yourself.
It is a very comfortable way to
facilitate detoxification even with
people that have a serious toxic
overload. Ioncleanse sessions have been referred to
as… getting the issues out of the tissues!
When using the IonCleanse array, water is absorbed
directly into the human tissue. The fluctuating pH
causes antimicrobial activity that occurs metabolically
with the session. Yes, the fluctuating pH that occurs
during an IonCleanse treatment is like a lethal weapon
to bacteria. As a result, whole body detoxification
takes place without any effort or discomfort to the
person, and by means of a comforting footbath.
Reports have been published on the measurement
of Heavy Metals found in the water after ioncleanse
sessions. Some of the heavy metals measured were
lead, copper, arsenic and aluminum.
People have reported feeling lighter, more energetic,
and relieved of pain even after one session. Particular
improvement has been noted with symptoms of gout,
edema, and tired achy legs and over-all lack of energy.
Individuals that suffer more chronic conditions are
sometimes recommended to have more than one
session.
If you would like to experience the benefit of an
IonCleanse session in the Pickering or Bowmanville
area, contact Karen Steward at (905) 837-6627.
Annual awards
honour pioneer,
school among others
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — A blue box pioneer
and five others from the region were
recognized when Durham’s environ-
mental advisory committee (DEAC)
handed out its annual awards.
In their third year, the DEAC
awards, committee Chair Suzanne
Elston said, were established to rec-
ognize individual and collective ef-
forts to promote, preserve and en-
hance the region’s natural environ-
ment.
The premier award of the event,
held April 20, was the Evylin Stroud
Lifetime Achievement Award, which
went to Jack McGinnis for his work in
continually promoting the protection
of the environment.
Mr. McGinnis was nominated
by Chantal Whitaker of the City of
Pickering for his 30 years of work
in developing programs that have a
positive effect on the environment.
“In 1974 he launched Canada’s first
multi-material recycling program,
and in 1978 he founded and was
chairman of the Recycling Council of
Ontario. He played a central role in
the development of the blue box pro-
gram,” Ms. Elston said when present-
ing Mr. McGinnis with the award.
Mr. McGinnis also founded the
Durham Conservation Centre in 1982
and assisted in the creation of the
Durham Environmental Network.
“I feel very honoured, and hope
that I can continue to properly rep-
resent the invaluable contribution
made by local residents like Evy-
lin Stroud,” Mr. McGinnis later said
about the honour.
David Dietlein received the George
A . Scott Stewardship award for ef-
forts to help maintain, protect and
preserve the environment.
Mr. Dietlein was nominated by the
Scugog Lake Stewards for his life-
time of work to understand and help
protect the environment through his
work with Zero Garbage, Protect the
Ridges and Test Hill-East Cross For-
est.
Also nominated were Michael
Tu cker and Brian Buckles.
The Rotary Club of Oshawa and
the City of Oshawa received the Dr.
Murray J. Speirs Restoration Award
for their work in helping to restore
degraded natural environments.
They were nominated by Ken Ridge
for a partnership to renaturalize the
eastern half of Farewell Creek since
1996.
Also nominated were the Samuel
Wilmot Nature Area Management
Advisory Committee and the Orono
Crownlands Trust.
The Durham Children’s Ground-
water Festival took home the Irene
Koch Education-Communication
Award for helping others to learn
about the natural environment. The
festival helps increase student aware-
ness of water issues and motivate
them to become water stewards.
The Eric Krause Innovative Plans-
Policies-Initiatives Award, recogniz-
ing out-of-the-box thinking and in-
novative efforts to encourage positive
change with respect to the environ-
ment, went to John McCutcheon.
Mr. McCutcheon was nominated
by Wynn Walters for his work with
Uxbridge’s golf course policy, the first
broad policy of its kind and one other
municipalities are looking at as a
model. The new policy binds golf
courses to adopt and implement a
set of standards regarding the taking
of water, the application-storage of
chemicals, and the impacts of course
design on wildlife, natural habitat,
and surrounding communities.
Shawn Williamson was also nomi-
nated.
G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Voca-
tional Institute received the Jessica
Markland Partnership Award, given
to those who strive to enhance the
environment by building partner-
ships with public, community and
private interests.
Mayor John Gray and Oshawa
council nominated the school for
its unique environmental studies.
In partnership with the City of Os-
hawa, General Motors and the CAW,
the school performs ongoing stream
studies in Oshawa Creek, as well as
community cleanup programs in
south Oshawa.
Ontario Power Generation -- Dar-
lington and the Region of Durham
planning department were also nom-
inated.

By Izabela Jaroszynski
Staff Writer
DURHAM — At the heart of the multi-
million-dollar lawsuit between former City
manager John Brown and the City of Os-
hawa is the thorny issue of employment
contracts between municipalities and their
employees.
In his statement of claim, Mr. Brown says
that in late 1999 he expressed interest in
taking an early retirement package, and
asked then-mayor Nancy Diamond for a
consultancy contract, which would effec-
tively allow Mr. Brown to receive a pension
from the Ontario Municipal Employees Re-
tirement System (OMERS) and continue to
receive payment from the City for services
as a consultant, presumably working in the
same capacity he had prior to retirement.
Graham Hills, vice-president of pension
plans at OMERS, says that although such a
practice isn’t very common, no regulations
exist to stop it from happening.
“There is nothing in the plan itself that
prevents someone from retiring and receiv-
ing a pension and then returning in some
capacity to the workplace. There is nothing
I can point to in the plan that builds in some
sort of rules or obstacles to prevent that
from happening,” he said.
While Mr. Hills agrees that such a practice
could be viewed as getting double pay for
the same job, he says it is one way employ-
ers can keep experienced employees on the
job longer.
“A s time goes on, it seems like employers
are looking at ways to try to retain older,
longer service employees in the workplace,”
he said.
Roger Anderson, president of the Asso-
ciation of Municipalities of Ontario and
chairman of Durham Region, says that there
is nothing in the Municipal Act that stops a
municipality from hiring former employees,
even those who have retired, as consul-
tants.
“It is up to the municipality who they
hire and don’t hire and the process they go
through to do that,” he said.
But at a regional level, Mr. Anderson says
that it is a policy not to hire retired employ-
ees in a consulting capacity.
“We don’t let people retire at the Region
and then hire them back,” he said. “Unless
they are working for a consulting company
that we’ve employed (after a tendering pro-
cess), we wouldn’t hire them back as em-
ployees on a consultant basis.”
Although Mr. Anderson would not com-
ment on any specific case, he said that he
has heard of municipalities rehiring former
employees as consultants.
Mr. Hills says that from the pension plan’s
perspective, the only rule is that there must
be a break in service.
“In order to collect the pension, you have
to retire or terminate. So there has to be that
break in service where you actually stop
working (for a period of time),” he said.
But after the break is over, “they could
come back and do a very similar type of job,”
he added.
Former City manager can retire, claim pension, continue consulting

Pickering Swim Club:
Fr om Dolphins to Olympians
Icon Ottenbrite brings
along young swimmers
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
PICKERING — It’s that conflu-
ence between swimmer and coach
-- that one magic moment -- that
keeps Canadian swimming icon,
Olympic hero and longtime coach
Anne Ottenbrite returning to the
Pickering Recreation Complex pool
deck.
“As an athlete there’s always been
a saying: Years in the making, mo-
ments in the tasting. When they
touch that wall and they look up and
see their time. That’s the moment.
When they swim their race and they
finish and they achieve their goals
they’ve been working on all year,
when they touch, the first person
they look for is you (their coach). It
always touches me. It makes it all
worth it,” says Ottenbrite.
The Whitby native is one of the
most decorated Olympians in Cana-
dian history, winning three medals
at the 1984 Olympic Summer Games
in Los Angeles. There, she earned
gold in the 200-metre breaststroke,
breaking a 72-year medal drought
in Olympic swimming for Canada.
She was also a silver medallist in
the 100m breaststroke and swam
for Canada’s 4-x-100m medley relay
team that took bronze.
Twenty-two years after her Olym-
pic glory, life has come full circle
for Ottenbrite. The Order of Canada
recipient is now giving back to an-
other generation of swimmers, serv-
ing as the age-group coach at the
Pickering Swim Club.
The swim club, in its 33rd of
year of providing elite swimming
for Pickering youth, was started
by a small group of parents back
in 1973. Since then, the club has
grown through name changes, once
known as the Pickering Dolphins
Swim Club in the 1980s and ‘Pick’
Swim Club in the 1990s, along with
venues and coaches over the years.
In 1984, the club made a quantum
leap forward with the opening of
the 25-metre Pickering Recreation
Complex pool, which paved the way
for more swimmers to join and al-
lowed meets to be staged. The club
hired Nick Baker as its head coach
in 1987 and Baker, in turn, guided
the career of Pickering resident and
two-time Olympian Lisa Flood, who
represented Canada at the Olym-
pics in 1992 in Barcelona, Spain and
again in 1996 in Atlanta. She now
resides as one of six swimmers on
the club’s Wall of Fame, located at
the north end of the pool, and one
of the club’s biggest
meets of the sea-
son, the Lisa Flood
Christmas Classic,
bears her name.
Flood’s not the
only Olympian
who’s called the
Pickering Swim
Club home. For
two years, before
her retirement
last year, two-time
Olympian Laura
Nicholls joined
the club under
head coach Lucie
Hewitt-Henderson
to help her achieve
her third Olympic
Games in Athens in
2004. Nicholls did,
however, come up
just shy of a berth on the Canadian
Olympic team at the swim trials that
year.
Currently, the Pickering club is
home to 121 swimmers, 70 of which
are under Ottenbrite’s guidance as
age-group swimmers -- some as
young as age seven, who are start-
ing their competitive careers. Al-
though she’s instructed swimmers
at all levels and ages during her 15
years of coaching that’s taken her
to both sides of the Canada-U.S.
border, she’s more than satisfied to
be a mentor to the club’s young up-
and-comers.
“I’ve done every age group there
is and I’ve enjoyed every age group
I had coached, but there’s some-
thing about age groupers I really
do enjoy. I think probably because
they’re at a perfect age where they
suck up the information. And, if it’s
instilled at this age, that work ethic,
that type of competitive character, it
will allow them to step into the next
group without much difficulty. And,
I do enjoy seeing that stepping-up of
these kids.”
Ottenbrite joined the Pickering
Swim Club in 2002, but the situation
surrounding her joining the club as
a coach was anything but happy. At
that time, she and her young family
returned to Durham Region from
Wisconsin to be
close to her mother,
Francis, who died
shortly after their
return.
Looking for
coaching oppor-
tunities after re-
locating from the
U.S., Ottenbrite
was offered a job by
Hewitt-Henderson.
In those four years,
the two women,
who’ve since been
joined by fellow
coach Lea Bred-
schneider, have
made the club into
a beacon for young
swimmers.
Ottenbrite says it
has been a pleasure
to serve under Hewitt-Henderson
and to have a hand in seeing the
club flourish, not only in terms of
membership, but also in terms of
results.
“I love working with Lucie and
this program,” she says. “We have
the same belief system. We put the
program together and turned things
around and it’s been fabulous.”
Hewitt-Henderson arrived as
head coach of the Pickering Swim
Club in 2001, after many years of
coaching at clubs in Whitby and
Oakville. She describes the club as
being “underdeveloped” at that
stage in its history.
“Really, this club was similar to
Whitby and Oakville when I took
them over. There was maybe one
or two provincial kids, no national
level or senior nationals kids to be
found...so there were opportunities
at all three clubs to chuck and jive
with it, move it around,” says Hewitt-
Henderson, who coaches the junior
and senior red groups -- the top-
calibre swimmers -- at the club.
Since taking over, Hewitt-Hen-
derson has improved the club’s
fortune, increasing the number of
provincial-level swimmers from one
or two the first year to a high of
22 to 25 swimmers today. As well,
the club had eight swimmers at the
past Eastern Canadian champion-
ship, 15 at the club nationals and
three who competed at the senior
national championships.
Hewitt-Henderson notes it’s a
combination of coaching and the
vision of the club’s board of direc-
tors that has enabled the club to
take flight over the past five years.
“It takes more than me to make
that happen,” she says.
Hewitt-Henderson hopes to take
the Pickering Swim Club from 30 to
35 swimmers on the development
team to somewhere in the neigh-
bourhood of 50 swimmers in the
next few years.
“We’ve got a ways to go to build
the development team the way I
envision. We have some work to do
there yet.”

DAVE DRINKILL
1950 - 2003
Loving husband and devoted dad
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
We thought of you yesterday
And the days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on
Our hearts ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you
Your place no can fill
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
There will always be heartache
And often silent tears
If tears could make a staircase
Our heartache make a lane
We'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring you home again
We hold you close within our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again
Forever in our hearts

Durham Windows and Doors
Brings Mobile Showroom
To Your Door
Wa yne Hutchison brings to the
replacement window and door busi-
ness a new and long overdue feature.
It’s a Mobile Showroom which just
may be the only one in Canada.
“The day is gone when you car-
ried some brochures and a sample
window to a customer’s home,” ex-
plains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired
North York Mobile Library truck and
installed interior walls along with all
of my window samples.”
When you call Durham Win-
dows and Doors for a free estimate,
Wa yne will show up at your door
with his Mobile Showroom which
you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio
door.
Inside, displayed on the walls,
are the Vinyl Window Designs series
of vinyl windows which you’re free
to operate and you’ll discover the
many special features including how
they can be cleaned without going
outside.
“A fter being in this business for
26 years, I can honestly say these are
the fi nest windows on the market,”
says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed
to reduce air leakage and come with
heavy duty hardware.”
All Vinyl Window Designs win-
dows come with Low E Glass which
fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keeping
your home cooler in the summer and
eliminate fading of your curtains,
drapes and furniture.
All of the windows come with a
lifetime warranty on the frame, hard-
ware and glass.
Wa yne would also like his custom-
ers to know that he does all of the
estimates personally, eliminating the
cost of a salesperson.
Durham Windows and Doors
also does all of its own installations,
which ensures that every customer
gets a high quality job done at the
best possible price.
Durham Windows and Doors is
located at 696 King St. W. in Osha-
wa. For more information call (905)
579-2222 or 1-888-576-8575.
