City will look at

PICKERING — In spite of ef-
forts by local police, Pickering
believes speeding remains an
issue in the city and is consider-
ing taking matters into its own
hands.
The Durham Regional Police
Service lacks the resources to
provide a dedicated traffic divi-
sion for Pickering, council be-
lieves.
“Speeding is a huge, huge
problem throughout the city,”
City Councillor Doug Dickerson
said.
“We know the police cannot
give us the level of enforcement
we expect and pay for but they do
their best.”
Council passed a motion re-
questing the office of the chief
administrative officer (CAO) to,
with Durham police, look at vari-
ous options available to combat
speeders.
“The time has come to tackle
this problem of speeding using
two additional tools in the box,”
Pickering has the need to fight speed

DURHAM — The openness
of the Durham Catholic District
School Board’s budget process
is being questioned, following a
closed-door finance committee
meeting.
A Catholic trustee and a Min-
istry of Education official are
wondering why the board held
an in-camera finance committee
meeting to discuss the 2006/07
budget prior to it being approved
at the June 26 board meeting.
The budget was given final ap-
proval without question or com-
ment from trustees.
During the June 26 meeting,
chairwoman and Whitby Trustee
Mary Ann Martin said trustees
went through the budget during
the finance meeting, examining
it line by line. Patricia Manson,
the board’s director of educa-
tion, said in an interview that the
finance meeting was not open to
the public.
“I think it’s not unfair if the
public was critical of that,” said
Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones. He
said the board should have only
gone in-camera for items legis-
lated, such as land purchasing or
items that could prejudice bar-
gaining.
Steve Robinson, manager of
issues management and media
relations for the Ministry of Edu-
cation and Ministry of Training,
Colleges and Universities, said
for an entire meeting to be in-
camera, it would have had to
have been done in error or there
would have had to have been a
specific reason.
Board officials said Ms. Man-
son was not available for follow-

Mr. Roain Bayat completed his B. Sc. in Physical
Therapy at McGill University (Montreal) in 2001,
an institution distinguished for its excellence
in research and tied as Canada’s top-ranked
medical-doctoral university. Acquiring a great
deal of clinical skills through the scheduled
hospital-based rotations, Mr. Bayat expanded his
knowledge base by enrolling in post-graduate
courses in manual therapy. In addition to being
employed at the Montreal General Hospital, a
designated trauma centre, Mr. Bayat was also
wor king part-time in a private clinic, in order to
diversify his clientele base and be exposed to
a plethora of chronic medical conditions. In
2002, he begun his Master’s degree at the same
institution, working under the guidance of a
group of established researchers in posture and
locomotion in humans. It was at this time that
Mr. Bayat implicated himself in the teaching of
undergraduate physical therapy students at McGill
Mr. Roain Bayat, M.Sc., B.Sc. PT
University. The Master’s degree was completed in
2004, with distinction, and his efforts were rewarded
with a publication in a scientific journal.
Physical Therapy (also known as physiotherapy)
is an allied health profession concerned with the
assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disease
and disability through physical means. It is based
upon principles of medical science, and is generally
held to be within the sphere of conventional (rather
than alternative) medicine. Physical therapists focus
primarily, but not solely, on relieving pain, promoting
healing, restoring function and movement, and
facilitation and adaptation associated with injury.
Therapy also focuses on ergonomics or body
mechanic training, fitness and wellness and,
especially education. This area of physical therapy
includes posture, stabilization and building strength
in the weakened area, and to prevent additional
injury.
Mr. Bayat is currently working at the Active Therapy
and Sports Clinic in Pickering, 1101 Kingston Rd. #240
(DQ Plaza at Dixie and Highway 2), and is accepting
new patients, he can be reached at 905-831-8115.

up comments or clarification on Mr.
Robinson’s statements, and Trustee
Martin instructed staff to indicate she
was on vacation and would not com-
ment on the budget process.
According to the Education Act, a
meeting of a board committee may
be closed to the public when the
subject under consideration deals
with: the security of board property;
the disclosure
of intimate per-
sonal or finan-
cial information
regarding vari-
ous individuals;
land acquisition
or disposal; de-
cisions regard-
ing employee
negotiations;
and litigation
affecting the
board.
“I believe very little should be held
in-camera,” said Trustee Jones.
He also said more should be done
to engage the public in the budget
process.
Ms. Manson said the board collects
information for its budget through-
out the year, such as at school council
meetings.
“We don’t have a specific submis-
sion process,” she said.
“I certainly think the public should
have an opportunity,” said Trustee
Jones.
“The budget is a very big item that
impacts our children in a very signifi-
cant way.”
He said there are issues surround-
ing computers, special education,
maintenance and different curricu-
lum items that he would like to see
deputations for. But to get more pub-
lic participation, the board needs a
chairwoman who supports it, Trustee
Jones said.
“I think the board could do more,”
he said. “The lack of deputations is
an indication of something, probably
that we don’t promote it enough or
they don’t know.”
In a letter to Trustee Martin this
week, Trustee Jones said under her
leadership as chairwoman, “it cer-
tainly has been your practice to ac-
tively suppress debate in fear that
someone may express an opinion
that differs from yours.”
Trustee Martin, again through
staff, said she would not respond
to Trustee Jones’ comments through
the media.
Coun. Dickerson said. “The message
that it is just as socially unacceptable
to cause danger to others by speed-
ing as it is by drunk driving. And, the
increased use of police radar units to
enforce the posted speed limits.”
Options include, but are not lim-
ited to, entering into a pay-service
agreement with the police depart-
ment to supply two officers, or enter-
ing into a service agreement based
on actual cost plus benefits for two
officers.
“These units would serve in the city
of Pickering only,” Coun. Dickerson
said. “And on a full-time basis. City
officials would work alongside the
officers in determining which streets
will be covered each day.”
According to Regional Councillor
Bill McLean, the City purchased two
radar guns for the Durham Regional
Police six years ago and now they
just need the bodies to use them in
enforcing speed limits in Pickering.
But Regional Councillor Rick John-
son warned council to be cautious of
spending money twice.
“I think dialogue is good,” Coun.
Johnson said, but added, “I think we
have the proper channel to pay for
(police services) through regional tax
dollars.”
The CAO’s office was asked to re-
port back following council’s sum-
mer break.

Committee split on how
to proceed in wake of
provincial legislation
By Erin Hatfield
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The line between the
Region’s and the Province’s vision of
growth has been drawn.
The Places to Grow Act, which was
passed in mid-June, is the Province’s
vision for building stronger, more pros-
perous communities by better managing
growth. But there are points where the
Region and the Province don’t see eye to
eye. Durham has three years to bring its
Official Plan (OP) into conformity with
the growth plan.
“I, for one, am tired of being dictat-
ed to by people who don’t even live in
our community,”
planning com-
mittee chairwom-
an Gerri Lynn
O’Connor said.
The committee
held a statutory
public meeting
on June 27 where
residents were
welcome to ex-
press their views
on proposed
amendments to the OP for population,
employment, and urban land compo-
nent of the plan.
However, significant aspects of the
population, employment and land needs
component cannot be approved as pro-
posed due to the legislation.
“The act is law, we must by law con-
form to the Places to Grow and the
greenbelt,” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said.
A previous Durham council resolution
directed staff to continue with the work
it’s already doing on its OP and deal with
the Province’s plan later.
However the commissioner of plan-
ning cautioned the Region about going
down that road.
“Violation of provincial policy, you
can jeopardize the entire amendment,”
Alex Georgieff said. “The good work we
spent in developing those policies would
be lost.”
There were 16 people who spoke at
the public meeting and they presented
a mixed view on issues surrounding the
OP as compared to the provincial plan,
according to Region Chairman Roger
Anderson.
“There were a lot of issues about not
being able to follow through with the
plan or the requests after years of work-
ing on our Official Plan,” Mr. Anderson
said. “Some were just saying deal with it
and move on.”
Staff will draft a report on all the com-
ments received at the meeting, incor-
porate the ideas and explain why they
didn’t use others.
“Staff listened intently to all the issues
and hopefully we will be able to respond
to them,” Mr. Anderson said.
The next steps in the OP review include
presenting a recommended amendment
to the planning committee on Aug. 29.
It’s recommendation is to be considered
by Durham council on Sept. 13.
But, before that, Mr. Anderson said,
the committee has requested to meet
with David Caplan, minister of public
infrastructure renewal, in the next two
weeks to discuss the growth plan and
the ability to expand urban boundaries
to gain an understanding of where the
Province is compared to the Region.
The amendment to be considered
Sept. 13 will not include areas of the
proposed amendments that are not in
conformity with Places to Grow.
Also during the public meeting, com-
mittee received for information two ap-
plications for amendment to OP.
The first was from Stockworth Limited,
to permit an addition of 950 square me-
ters of retail development in the Town-
ship of Scugog. Also submitted was an
application by Mason Homes looking for
a redesignation of special study lands to
a living area to permit residential devel-
opment in the Township of Uxbridge.
Durham ‘tired of being dictated to’
Roger Anderson
AJAX — Police are seeking tips from
the public as they try to track down a sus-
pect who pistol-whipped an Ajax man in
his home last week.
Durham police said a 44-year-old Ad-
miral Road resident had been relaxing in
his back yard hot tub around 11:30 p.m.
last Thursday, June 29. When he went
into the house he was surprised to find
a stranger armed with a silver handgun
inside.
The man was smashed over the head
with the gun twice when he ordered
the suspect out, police said. He gave his
attacker a shove and the suspect fled
through the back door.
The victim was treated at hospital and
released; police say it took 15 staples to
close lacerations on his head.
A search of the area turned up no sus-
pects. Investigators are seeking a suspect
described as a light-skinned black man,
about 5-foot-10 to 6-feet tall. He’s under
25 and had his hair cut short.
Anyone with information is asked to
call 905-683-9100, ext. 5362.

This is the first in a series
looking at the technology behind
energy-from-waste facilities in Europe.
Photos and story
by Erin Hatfield
DURHAM — Garbage as a resource.
It is a somewhat uncertain opportu-
nity -- but the technology to harness
energy from garbage exists.
Durham throws out 150,000 tonnes of
rubbish annually, hauled by truck to the
Pinetree landfill site in Michigan. It’s not
an ideal solution.
Even with the most effective source
separation, reusing and recycling, there
will always be waste left over.
In the Netherlands and Sweden, land
is at a premium, so time and money has
been spent to develop the process of
turning waste into energy.
Once thought of as just burning gar-
bage, today incineration is looked at as
using garbage as the fuel in energy-mak-
ing factories.
It was only after MacViro Consultants
Inc., adviser to the Durham-York Joint
Waste Management Committee, studied
the effects of different systems on the
natural, social, economic, technical and
legal environments, that thermal treat-
ment, with energy recovery and recovery
of materials from ash, was identified as
the best route for Durham and York to
travel.
In its favour, thermal treatment reduc-
es the volume of material going to land-
fill by 80 per cent, thereby reducing the
consumption of limited landfill space.
And, by generating electricity, waste is a
resource.
How it works
Garbage is the lifeblood of
waste-to-energy facilities such as
the ones the regional delegation
visited in Sweden and Holland in
May.
“They were clean, they were well run,
the emissions were controlled,” said Cliff
Curtis, Durham Region’s commissioner
of works. “They were actually an asset to
the community.”
Three of the facilities visited, Sysav
in Malmo, Sweden, and Afval Energie
Bedrijf (AEB) and Alkmaar in the Neth-
erlands, have slight variations but their
technology is basically the same.
“The real story with energy from waste
is what process they use to scrub the flue
gases,” Mr. Curtis said. “Some were bet-
ter than others. I would say both Malmo
and Alkmaar were extremely clean, ex-
tremely well-run, good looking, efficient
operations.”
After residents reduce, reuse and re-
cycle as much waste as possible, the re-
sidual is taken to the incinerator where it
is burned and electricity, along with hot
water for district heating, is produced.
Smoke is taken through a flue gas
purification process where a number of
filters, each with their own job, take out
fly ash, salt and dioxins and other harm-
ful emissions.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is known as a city in-
grained with the principle of tolerance.
The citizenry’s liberal views on much
society has to offer do not include the
mismanagement of waste.
At the energy-from-waste facility
here, the goal is to maximize the use of
waste from 32 million residents, which
comes to the HVC EWF facility each
year. Owned by the city of Amsterdam,
HVC EWF has 85 years of energy-from-
waste experience and services 19 affili-
ated local authorities in the region.
Dr. Evelien Jonkhot, who works in the
marketing department at the Amster-
dam facility, said the waste-to-energy
plant is considered recycling.
“Only when recycling is not possible
does it come to the incinerator,” Dr. Jonk-
hot said, adding only non-recyclable,
non-combustible material is
allowed to go to a landfill.
From the ash, they
extract iron and non-ferrous
and precious metals like gold.
Sand is used to make lime-
stone bricks and granulate to
make concrete.
After all the processing, one per cent
of the waste goes to landfill as a hazard-
ous material.
The facility produces 630 kilowatts per
hour, per tonne of waste. It is currently
undergoing expansion to build the first
high-efficiency, waste-to-energy plant,
described as a waste-fired power plant.
Two new burners will process 530,000
more tonnes taking its total capacity to
1.6 million tones by 2007.
“Amsterdam had a few challenges,”
Mr. Curtis said. “But, they were actually
running a very energy-efficient opera-
tion. They were extracting the maximum
amount of energy they could from the
incineration process but... it seemed to
be just a little bit of a messier opera-
tion.”
Sysav
“A total view of how waste is handled,”
is the slogan the Sysav energy-from-
waste facility has adopted.
“Treating waste in a waste incinera-
tion plant today is very environmentally
friendly,” said Jonas Eek, manger of the
facility’s energy department. “We get
very low emissions and replace a lot of
fossil fuels.”
Sysav is publicly owned by 14 mu-
nicipalities and processes the waste of
620,000 inhabitants, fifty tonnes each
hour.
Organic waste and plastics are burned
in the incinerator, but plans are in place
to collect 35 per cent of biological waste
and treat it biologically by 2010.
But, also important to its operation are
the landfill sites located on the facility
grounds, which measure 100 kilometres
in width by 50 kilometres in length.
Only 8.9 per cent of all waste that pass-
es through the facility, including ash,
goes to landfill.
Alkmaar
A city more than 750 years old, Al-
kmaar is steeped in history. In the
1700s people used to throw their
garbage in the streets, but much has
changed.
The Alkmaar facility looks at itself as
a factory that makes electricity. It began
operation in 1971 and in 1995 they fin-
ished the current facility.
The Alkmaar facility services a popu-
lation of 1.5 mil-
lion people and
processes 630,000
tonnes of burn-
able waste each
year.
The facility has
17 shareholders
made up of 42 municipalities.
As a non-profit company, any profit
goes back to the shareholders and even-
tually to the residents in the form of a
lower cost of waste management.
The facility can generate electricity
for 100,000 homes. Seventy five per cent
of the architecturally modern installa-
tion houses the system used to clean
the smoke. The checks and balances at
the Alkmaar facility are one of the most
unique and interesting elements of the
facility.
On the grounds of the Alkmaar facility,
spinach and flowers are grown to test the
air quality. As well, they have cows, and
the milk is tested to ensure there are no
contaminants.

(UB -ALL +INGSTON 2D'LENANNA 2D Stress affects our physical health
as much as food and exercise does. A
combination of emotional and physical
pressures, stress can either help you
deal more effectively with challenges
and problems or make them many times
worse. Some common early signs of stress
include; irritability, headaches, digestive
problems, pain in neck and shoulders,
dizziness and raised blood pressure. With
prolonged or regular overstress, these can
lead to or develop into conditions that are
more serious.
Because the mind and body deeply affect
each other, too much stress also affects us
mentally and emotionally. Some of the
emotional and behavioural changes we can
experience include a change in the way we
relate to other people. For example, people
can become more depressed, withdrawn,

There is something we can do about our
reaction to stress! Because of the nature
of stress, drugs do not effectively treat it.

leads to reduced pain and suffering, physical
wellness, and inward peace can be learned
through a program called Mindfulness-

University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
This program was designed for people who

I am currently pregnant with my fi rst
child. I have noticed that along with my
other bodily changes, my feet and legs are
also affected. What other changes might I
expect and how can I keep myself more
comfortable?
As you begin to gain weight due to
pregnancy the added stresses placed on
the foot are most noticeable as you ap-
proach your delivery date. An important
hormone you are producing during the
pregnancy is relaxin. This enables your
ligaments to be more lax so that they
can expand, not just around the stomach
and pelvic area for the fetus, but also
in the foot. The foot will lengthen and
widen during the pregnancy allowing for
a greater surface area to carry the addi-
tional weight. After delivering, in most
cases, the foot will revert back to normal,
although some of my patients complain
that their foot has remained at least half
to a full size larger.
The best bit of advice I can give you
is to wear good supportive shoes. These
will support the arch, shock absorb dur-
ing the latter months and accommodate
the swollen foot by loosening the laces. If
you were used to wearing higher heeled
shoes before the pregnancy and now you
are wearing fl ats, you may notice some
calf muscle strain, either at its insertion
behind the knee or at the achilles tendon.
Pressure of the fetus in the pelvic area
where the veins lead back to the heart,
may cause a back up of blood in these
veins. This can lead to varicose veins and

swelling of the foot
and legs. It is most
important to keep
your legs elevated.
Also a good pair of
properly fi tted, but
not too tight, sup-
port hose will con-
trol the swelling.
If you were a
pronator before
your pregnancy,
the increased laxity
and fl atter arch will
lead to hyperprona-
tion. I cannot over emphasize the impor-
tance of a good supportive shoe.
The increased incidence of planter warts
with pregnancy, especially in the fi rst three
months is noted as well as an increase in
foot perspiration and corresponding odour.
I always try to encourage my patients to
avoid foot problems before they manifest
themselves, however, having sore feet is a
small price to pay for the wondrous miracle
of having a child. Especially when most of
the foot and leg problems will revert back
to normal within the month or two after de-
livery.

attention
Very few issues these past few years have held the same ur-
gency or drawn the same amount of attention in Durham
as the future of our waste management.
Ye t, for all the importance the issue holds, there remains a
significant hole in dealing with it. Unlike other nations around
the world, Canada appears to have no national waste policy. As
a matter of fact, it would appear the issue doesn’t even register
on the political radar in Ottawa. Communities across the coun-
try are grappling with waste, each in their own way. And, as the
issue becomes more political, as states such as Michigan tell us
they don’t want our trash, as communities fight tooth and nail
to keep those same trucks off their highways and out of their
backyards, our national oversight becomes more glaring.
We may have more land and options than a country such
as the Netherlands when it comes to dealing with waste, but
we trail badly when it comes to leadership on the issue. The
Netherlands’ waste policy is clearly defined and reinforced from
ground-floor citizens right on up through municipalities and to
the national government.
In today’s paper we start a series of stories looking at energy-
from-waste facilities, with a particular focus on the advantages,
advancements in the technology, barriers to community buy-in
and concerns with the technology at four plants operating in
Europe. A trip last month by a regional delegation offered much
information about the system and the benefits it could bring to
Durham.
There remain misconceptions about the technology and
changing those views will be job No. 1 for Durham and York
regions now that they have settled on that type of facility as their
option moving forward. The process has to remain visible, has
to continue to include the public and has to address concerns
by imparting specific facts to residents. But, more than any-
thing, the process needs to be helped along by a federal govern-
ment that decides the issue is important enough, not just here
in Durham, but for our country as a whole, to establish specific
protocols and standards for all Canadians to live by and all com-
munities to follow when addressing their own challenges.
It really wasn’t all that long ago when we threw everything in
the trash and left it at the curb. Look at us now, Durham.
But we have a long way to go. We need waste management
and diversion to be inherent in the daily lives of all Canadians.
Green bin plan just a waste
To the editor:
I made an honest effort since getting my green box to com-
ply with the new program. After spending an hour last night
determining which garbage/recycling should be put out today
(my regular day is Monday, but it was a holiday), I put out my
green bin. When looking out my window this morning at 6:30, I
noticed that many of the neighbours were also confused about
the schedule. We ended up with blue boxes, garbage, yard waste
and everyone’s interpretation of the calendar was different.
Mine was the solitary green box.
This is what I woke up to, the supposedly raccoon proof box
which had been dragged for 25 feet. The schedules and now
certainly my effort tonight when I have to go home to pick this
all up, put it into compostable bags (of which I have had now
had to use double), hardly seems worth it.

We should embrace, not
reject, new waste system
W e make waste. We buy, we con-
sume, we throw away.
It is a vicious cycle for which
the time has come for “we” as a society
to take ownership.
What we throw away is our problem.
So why, then, do we reject the move-
ment laid out before us intended to
better help us manage the waste we
create.
The green bin and the blue box pro-
grams give us the tools we as a region
need to divert 70 per cent of the stuff
which in years past would have gone
directly to landfill.
It is astounding how many people ex-
press their sheer disgust with the whole
idea of the Region’s recently imple-
mented green bin program.
They have their reasons.
It smells or it will attract animals or
bugs. It is too much work to separate
garbage. It is gross. It is too confusing
to figure out the new schedule or the
instructional guide is too difficult to
decipher.
But, most often I hear, simply, why
did it have to change.
Well, it had to change because we
won’t change the way we consume and
we are eating up the world with waste.
Are we that entitled?
To think for one second that we are
in any way too good or too important to
let a little stink stop us from responsibly
managing our waste is nothing more
than ignorance. It is not the Region’s
problem; it is each and every resident’s
problem.
We should welcome this with open
arms and thank the Region of Durham
for handing us the tools to take respon-
sibility for our waste.
We as a society need to take a serious
look at how we view waste. We need to
own it.
Beyond doing all we can to properly
sort our garbage, our ownership of the
waste we create should extend back to
each and every trip to the store. Think
about how you can minimize waste by
altering what you buy.
Many people call and write in asking
what are they supposed to do with all
their plastic shopping bags in the new
waste collection system. Simple, refuse
them at the store. Get canvas bags and
use them for your shopping.
Don’t buy over-packaged products
and non-recyclable materials.
It is with tactics like these, combined
w ith diverting garbage, that we will
manage the waste we produce. After all,
it is our problem.

Durham credit
agency has been
helping for 35 years
By Jillian Follert
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The bottle on
Sandra Sherk’s desk can best be
described as a credit card grave-
yard.
Filled to the brim with tiny
slivers bearing the Visa and Mas-
tercard logos, this is where hun-
dreds of maxed out credit cards
end up after meeting their fate at
the hands of her scissors.
“It actually makes people feel
better to see all these cards, be-
cause they realize they’re not the
only one,” Ms. Sherk says. “Fi-
nances are kind of the last taboo
in society, people are sometimes
embarrassed to admit they’ve
having trouble or to ask for help.”
At the Credit Counselling Ser-
vice of Durham Region (CCSDR),
the staff try to alleviate this worry.
by providing confidential finan-
cial advice -- minus the judge-
ment. This year marks the 35th
anniversary for the small, non-
profit organization, and as exec-
utive director for the last 17 years,
Ms. Sherk says their biggest chal-
lenge is still getting people to take
that first step and ask for help.
Those who do make the call are
invited to come in to the CCSDR
office in Oshawa, for a one-on-
one interview with a counsellor.
They start off with a financial as-
sessment to pinpoint the prob-
lem. From there, some clients
are able to turn things around
themselves, while others require
years of help to get back on even
footing.
CCSDR services include bud-
get planning, education on the
wise use of credit, bankruptcy al-
ternatives -- even debt repayment
programs where counsellors act
as intermediaries between the
client and their creditors. Clients
come from a wide range of ages
and backgrounds -- everyone
from students to seniors.
While the services haven’t
changed much in 35 years, Ms.
Sherk says the debt load that cli-
ents carry has. Flipping through
the organization’s first annual
report, she notes that the average
client’s debt in 1971 was about
$6,000. This year, it’s $33,220.
Why the dramatic increase?
Ms. Sherk said credit is easier to
acquire these days and people
are generally greedier.
“People want it all right away,
the house, the furniture, the car,
they don’t want to wait and save
for things,” she says. “It’s tempt-
ing when you’re told that you can
buy a house full of furniture and
not pay for 12 months.”
Credit counsellors used to
warn clients to be aware of in-
terest rates, but now they also
caution about the new trend of
lower monthly payments. Paying
less each month might seem like
a great idea, but in many cases,
the client is paying more interest
than principal, and could end up
taking years longer to pay off the
debt.
Ms. Sherk advises every-
one to put a budget down on
paper, think long and hard about
whether to get a credit card and
when to use it, and come up
with little ways to save money,
like skipping the daily coffee or
bringing lunch to work. She also
stresses to ask for help when fi-
nancial issues are still concerns,
not full fledged problems.
“Just deal with it right from the
start and be prepared to work
hard to fix whatever is wrong,”
she says.

Do high gas prices
mean a summer
closer to home?
By Izabela Jaroszynski
Staff Writer
DURHAM — With the tem-
perature heating up and kids on
their summer holidays, Durham
residents are once again gearing
up for a season of activity and
travel.
But with warnings of extreme
prices at the pump, many may be
choosing to stay closer to home.
According to a recent CIBC
World Markets report, another
severe hurricane season in the
Gulf of Mexico is likely to hamper
oil production and drive crude
prices to record highs -- resulting
in gas prices that hover around
the $1.30 per litre mark through-
out the summer.
Jeff Rubin, chief economist
and strategist for CIBC, says that
the potential loss of as much as
750,000 barrels per day of pro-
duction from storms this season
will mean that motorists will be
paying record highs for gas.
“Stormy weather is likely to
mean further pain for motorists
at the gas pumps,” he said. “The
resulting drag on disposable in-
come is expected to contribute
to slower performance from the
economy in the second half of
the year.”
But will less disposable income
and higher costs for transporta-
tion put a damper on summer
plans?
Randy Williams, president of
the Tourism Industry Association
of Canada (TIAC), says gas prices
are not likely to have a big impact
of where people will travel this
summer.
“A ny price increase will have
an effect, but it will not be sig-
nificant,” he said. “Fuel costs rep-
resent only a small portion of
everyone’s travel costs.”
The majority of summer travel-
lers drive an average of 400 to 500
kilometres, Mr. Williams said.
For trips that short, the im-
pact of higher prices at the pump
won’t be significant enough to
make most people change their
plans.
But higher gas costs result in
more than just a price jump at
the pump. With the steady in-
crease in fuel comes the dreaded
fuel surcharge, an extra fee that
can be tacked on to just about
everything: tours, food, car and
boat rentals. The result is a vaca-
tion cost that may be higher than
a would-be traveller expected to
pay.
While travellers have no con-
trol over rising gas prices or in-
creasing fuel surcharges, experts
say people can take action by
keeping their car at its maximum
in fuel efficiency.
Car Care Canada, a non-profit
consumer car organization, runs
the Be Car Care Aware campaign
to teach consumers the impor-
tance of proper car mainte-
nance.
Katherine Power, manager of
the program, says that just doing
proper car maintenance can save
people hundreds of dollars in
fuel.
“A nything that is not working
properly in your car just sucks
up more gas,” she said. “By doing
regular maintenance checks, you
can prevent that.”
Ms. Power says the two most
important things that a car owner
can do on their own is to ensure
that the gas cap is on tight to pre-
vent fuel from evaporating and to
check tire pressure.
“We all know what it’s like to
ride a bike with low tire pres-
sure,” she says. “Well, the car has
to work harder as well.”
Ms. Power says that regular oil
changes, a clean air filter, and
fluid top-ups will keep cars run-
ning smoothly
all year long.
But for long
summer trips,
especially ones
that involve
towing a boat
or trailer, she
suggests a thor-
ough engine
check to make
sure the car is
ready to handle
the stress of the
road.
For added fuel
efficiency, she
stresses the im-
portance of aero-
dynamics.
“Think carefully
about how you
pack the car,” Ms.
Power said, add-
ing that strapping
a big box on top of
the car will cause
greater fuel usage,
but placing items in
a properly designed con-
tainer will lessen the impact.
“It will make a difference on
road trips.”
And as Durham residents
start planning those anticipat-
ed summer road trips, Andrea
Monaghan, tourism manager for
Durham Region, says they don’t
have to travel far.
“We have a lot of people travel-
ling to Durham Region through-
out the summer season. Many of
our visitors come to visit family
and friends,” she said.
“Unfortunately, Durham resi-
dents often entertain their guests
outside the region when there’s
so much they could do right here
in Durham.”

Note
‘Volunteers (in Durham
Region) perform a variety of
activities, such as coaching, vis-
iting, mentoring, driving, event
planning and assisting at the
event, fundraising, office work,
and a variety of outdoor and
environmental projects, like tree
planting and park clean ups...
The demand for volunteers lies
in leadership roles, board mem-
bers and committee members.
There is also a great need for
friendly visitors and drivers.’
— Nancy Burke,
executive director,
Volunteer Resource
Centre of Durham
When it comes to donating
time or money, Canadians
are very generous. A new
survey by Statistics Canada
found that in 2004, more
than 22 million Canadians
made a financial donation
to a charitable or other
non-profit organization. They
donated an estimated $8.9
billion, an average of $400
each. During that same year,
nearly 12 million Canadi-
ans did some volunteering
through a group or organiza-
tion. Totalling almost two
billion hours, their unpaid
contribution was equivalent
to one million full-time jobs.

Ajax mosquitoes buzz foes in Niagara
All cylinders firing
for rep baseball squad
as Ajacians pitch, defend
and hit their way
to triumph
AJAX — The weather may have
been dreary, but the Ajax Spartans
major mosquito rep baseball team
was sizzling at the recent Niagara
Falls tournament.
The Ajacians met St. Catharines in
the championship game and emerged
with a well-earned 9-5 victory.
Everything worked well for the
Spartans, as the team received strong
defence and pitching to go along with
a steady stream of hits.
The Spartans subdued Georgetown
11-5 in the semifinal, with a strong
first inning paving the way to victory.
In preliminary play, the Spartans
edged Whitby ‘AA’ 7-6 before drop-
ping a close 7-5 decision to host Ni-
agara Falls.
In its final round-robin game, Ajax
played to a 4-4 draw with Guelph.
The team members are Scot
Azuma, Zack Courtney, Adam Cowl-
ing, Brenden Deeg, Justin Gaudet
Robbie Gennuso, Ryan Givelas, Adam
Henry, Tommy-Lee McDonald, Ryan
Rampersaud, Ryan Sattz and Riley
Tuset.

BY HEATHER M. O’CONNOR
Justin Crimless’s class was studying
Vikings and the 11-year-old just wasn’t
getting it. He wasn’t getting any of it.
And he was really upset.
“Justin had been in special educa-
tion his entire life but things had been
going downhill,” says his mother Anne
Masson. She contacted the school.
“Poof ! They gave me an interview the
very next day with the principal, vice
principals, teachers. ‘He’s not progress-
ing,’ they said. They wanted to put him
in the multiple exceptionalities class.
Basically, it’s where kids go when you
can’t do anything with them.”
“I said, ‘N o, we’re not doing that.’
And then she called Wasdell Centre for
Innovative Learning.
The vice-principal started asking
Anne questions. “‘Does he do this?’ I
said yeah. Then she said, ‘Oh, I’ll bet
he does this.’ And I said yeah! And
then she said, ‘I bet he can’t do this.’
And I said, Yes! She knows my kid!”
Anne told Justin about Wasdell. He
was happier, just knowing he might not
return to his old school. “Even stand-
ing in a brand-new school, not knowing
anyone or anything, he look ed taller,”
says his mother.
Previous peer abuse
“Justin arrived on our doorstep in
March 2005,” says Wasdell principal
Elizabeth Moxley-Paquette. “He was
bullied at his previous school. He was a
very gentle personality, a gentle spirit
but it was because he had fear.”
No one realized how deeply fearful
Justin was until a therapist took the
students through an exercise using
concentric rings to illustrate personal
boundaries.
“Justin took that idea but shifted it,
and it was an interesting shift. He drew
a series of co
ncentric rings that filled
the page, putting little sticks around
each one of those circles--thousands of
sticks. He had enough courage to show
it to his mom.
“He was able to open up to her for the
first time. Each one of the sticks repre-
sented something bad that someone had
done to him at the other sc hool.
It broke her heart. It broke all of our
hearts,” said Moxley-Paquette.
“So he came as a beaten-up child in
many ways, at least emotionally. He
relaxed here, when he saw that it was a
safe environment.”
“He became a man with a briefcase
and he worked very h ard. He could see
that this school understood him better.
His mom saw instant changes.”
Masson said, “Within three weeks,
he was telling time. Then he started
asking me about politics. Now he’s into
coin collecting, wanting to know about
the history of the coins. It’s like a dam
has broken and the waters are rushing
through.”
His path is not complete, but in a
little over a year, he’s made tremen-
dous gains.
When a c hild has learning disabili-
ties, the child becomes ‘stuck.’, Mox-
ley-Paquette
explained, usua

Stress accounts for 90 per cent of
visits to primary care physicians. An
estimated one million employees are
absent from work each day because
of stress-related problems, according
to the National Safety Council.
People of all ages, including
children experience stress.
How damaging is stress? Here are
some facts.
Companies and managed
health insurance companies are
now seeing the importance of
covering prescribed massage
therapy. Some companies cover
a certain dollar amount
per year for registered
massage therapy treatment
whether prescribed or not.
It’s a smart move on the
employer’s behalf when you
consider that massage has
been proven to reduce stress
hormones such as cortisol.
There are a number of
studies that have been done
regarding the effects of
massage. In one study of 40
full term infants ages one to
three months, born to teen
mothers, some infants were
massaged for 15 minutes
while others were rocked.
The massaged infants cried
less, had lower levels of
cortisol, and were more
likely to go to sleep after
massage than after being
rocked.
Other studies have
suggested that massage helps
relieve migraines, tension
headaches and fi bromyalgia.
Science tells us that touch
triggers the release of
endorphins, which is more
powerful than heroin or
morphine.
Touch makes your immune
system stronger and your
mood lighter, and is a
necessity for a healthy life.
This is apparent with the
number of spas popping up.
More and more people are
experiencing improvement
in their health and stress levels and
they are feeling more relaxed after a
trip to the spa.
If you are interested in learning
how to include touch in your life,
here are some tips:
1) Kiss friends hello on the cheek,
if that’s too hard, hug them;
2) Greet people with a friendly
pat to the back or touch to the
shoulder;
3) Walk arm and arm while talking
to someone;
4) Snuggle with your children while
watching TV;
5) Hug your mother and father
every time you see them;
6) Visit Spa Sedona for some
massage therapy.
Sherry Robinson is the owner of
Spa Sedona in Pickering Village.
Her background before the Spa
was 27 years at RBC and 10 years
managing Small Business for
To r onto. Sherry is passionate about
the customer experience, Sedona
Arizona, and the Spa.

Hole # 3
Winchester Golf Club is entering into its 25th season. This is
a challenging 18 hole course for the beginner and the experienced
golfer. A par 70, 5133 yard course that requires an accurate touch
off the tee
Winchester is a picturesque course featuring rolling hills
and mature trees. Water comes into play on 8 holes with a tributary
of the Oshawa Creek winding through the course and two ponds to
challenge your swing. This course allows you to play smart - long
irons off the tees. The layout is simple and short, but the greens
require a smooth stroke.
There’s a fully stocked pro shop with cart and club rentals.
Lessons are available and there’s a chipping and putting green.
There is also a snack bar, as well as banquet facilities for up to
150. Good value and friendly service make Winchester appealing
for a morning round.

Hamilton signs with Wild
DURHAM — Oshawa’s
Ryan Hamilton has been
rewarded by the Minnesota
Wild following a breakout
season in the OHL.
The 21-year-old free
agent has signed an entry
level contract with the NHL
club after finishing his ju-
nior career with the Barrie
Colts.
Hamilton tallied 46 goals
and 72 points in 63 games
with the Colts. He led the
team in goals, including a
team-high 24 power-play
goals and eight game-win-
ning tallies, and finished
third in points.
The 6-foot-2, 219-pound
left-wing added eight goals
and 17 points in 14 play-
off games with Barrie. He
also appeared in one play-
off game with the Hous-
ton Aeros of the American
Hockey League after signing
an amateur tryout contract.
Hamilton had by far his
best season last year, finish-
ing up with 79-49-128 in 170
career OHL games.
