The student, 15, soon admitted to police he’d written the note. He was charged with public mischief and threatening. But rather than being assigned a court date and going to trial, the youth attended a meeting at which he and his parents met with police and school officials to discuss the magnitude of the offence and ways to address the boy’s behaviour. “He immediately got access to the counselling he wanted and that he needs,” said Mary Shea, principal at Eastdale Collegiate. “For this situation, it was the perfect outcome.” Ms. Shea was one of the speakers at a media event Thursday morn- ing to applaud more than $300,000 in funding for projects helping youth in Durham Region who have run afoul of the law. The money will assist police and community agencies to find alternatives to criminal pros- ecution, com- monly known as diversion. Diversion is at the heart of the Yo uth Criminal Justice Act. The legislation states that non-violent offenders ought to be given an opportunity to make amends for their actions outside of the crimi- nal justice system, so long as they take responsibility for their actions and make restitution to victims. Children and Youth Services Minister Mary Anne Chambers said the funding will help com- munity partners -- Durham police, the John Howard society, Eastview Boys and Girls Club and the Pine- wood Centre among them -- help youthful offenders move on after brushes with the law. “I salute this unique partnership,” Ms. Cham- bers said in announcing the fund- PICKERING — A Little Britain woman was killed instantly when her car veered into the path of an oncoming truck Thursday in north Pickering. Police have yet to release the name of the woman, who was southbound on Brock Road near the 8th Concession around 2 p.m. when her Chrysler New Yorker crossed the centre line and col- lided with a northbound cement truck. The truck driver wasn’t hurt. Police closed Brock Road between the 7th and 8th Concessions for several hours while they investi- gated the crash.

Brothers Frank Grieco, 56, and Jo- seph Grieco, 59, managers of P.R. Engi- neering Ltd. in Oshawa, were on their way to Wilmington, Delaware on a business trip when their twin-propeller plane began experiencing engine trou- bles and crashed near Dunkirk, New York, around 9:30 a.m. Max Hudson, 55, of Pickering, who co-owned the plane with Joseph Grieco, also died. The three men departed Oshawa air- port shortly after 8 a.m. in the twin-en- gine Beech Baron aircraft. According to reports from Associated Press, the pilot of the plane reported problems with an engine and requested clearance to land at the airstrip in Dunkirk, a town on Lake Erie near Buffalo. The plane overshot the runway and crashed in a wooded area, according to reports. All three men aboard died. The tragedy has struck hard at P.R. Engineering, an Oshawa company that specializes in manufacturing and re- pairing rock crushers and other heavy machinery, as well as specialty weld- ing. “It’s a very small family run busi- ness,” said Jackie Fraser, who answered the phone at the company’s Toronto Street premises Friday. “It’s like a fam- ily.” P.R. Engineering employs about 35 people, Ms. Fraser said. The Grieco brothers -- Frank lived in Whitby, Jo- seph in Oshawa -- were vice presidents of the firm. Relatives of the victims aren’t commenting and Ms. Fraser said all that’s known about the crash is what has been released by the Federal Avia- tion Administration, which is investi- gating the accident. Ms. Fraser said the three men were on their way to Delaware on business when the crash occurred. She said she didn’t know who was flying the plane. Air crash tragedy hits hard at local company DURHAM — Many homeless youth would love to run in this summer’s Dur- ham 1/4 Marathon, in support of the Refuge, an organization that offers pro- grams for street and homeless youth in Durham. But they lack the proper shoes to take part in the event. Refuge officials have been encourag- ing youth who frequent the centre to train for the upcoming marathon on Ju ly 29, to promote a healthy lifestyle and show support for a place that has helped them. Clarence Keesman, executive director of the Refuge, says the training program will be held weekly, as soon as they can come up with clothing and shoes for the approximately 10 youth who want to participate. “Upon completion of the 1/4 mara- thon in July, the youth will receive the shoes and clothing as a reward,” Mr. Keesman said. “However, we need a few people in the community to rise up and take the challenge of providing decent running shoes and clothing for these youth.” The Refuge is the only organization in Durham working exclusively with street and homeless youth. Each month, more than 150 youth benefit from counsel- ing, anger management, personal de- velopment programs and breakfast and lunch served every weekday. All proceeds from the second annual Durham 1/4 Marathon will go to sup- port programs at the Refuge. For more information or to register, visit www. durhamquartermarathon.com.

LICK’S - PICKERING & THE NEWS ADVERTISER PRESENTS durhamregion.comP PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 20, 2007 ing at the Eastview Boys and Girls Club on Eulalie Avenue. “The community holds young people accountable for their actions while supplying the pro- grams they need to get their lives back on track... we try to place more em- phasis on the young person’s future, recognizing where they’ve been,” the minister said. Programming includes drug and alcohol counselling, assistance with anger management and anti-theft counselling. More than 200 young peo- ple have had charges diverted since the co-operative effort was begun this past January. Durham police Chief Vernon White said a key element to diversion is a reduced recidivism rate among young offenders; often when given a second chance the youths will avoid future trouble with the law, he said. “Making a difference in somebody’s life every day -- that’s what this is all about,” Chief White said.

The Durham District School Board’s 2007/2008 operating rev- enue includes approximately $22 million more than the previous year, according to a copy of the proposed budget presented May 15. The extra funds help pay for increased salaries and contracts within the provincial compensa- tion framework and more teach- ers. “I do need to point out, the grants do not provide for general increases for non-compensation items other than transportation and utilities,” said Ed Hodgins, the public board’s business su- perintendent and treasurer. This year, 32 elementary teach- ers will be added to accommo- date primary class size reduc- tions and more prep time. The secondary level features eight new positions for student suc- cess initiatives. About $2.25 million in the capi- tal budget is planned for portable acquisitions to accommodate the new primary class size. Under the provincial initiative, 90 per cent of primary classes should have a maximum of 20 students and all boards should have no more than 23 students in any primary class by the 2007- 2008 school year. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra, said the continuous purchasing of portables is concerning. “We’re becoming portable city in some places in this region,” said Trustee Dolstra. Mr. Hodgins said they need to ensure spots for students this fall. “You’re quite right, we do have a number of portables, I think 400,” said Mr. Hodgins. He added the new ones won’t be wasted money because they can be used in the long term to replace those that are aging. The capital budget also in- cludes updated construction prices for the Pickering High School addition and the new Oshawa High School, as well as an addition to Vaughan Willard Public School in Pickering, three site purchases and Good Places to Learn phase two renovations. Although there wasn’t major structural changes to the Grants for Students Needs from last year, two new grants have been added for programs such as arts, music, physical education and outdoor educations, and for First Nations Metis and Inuit Supplement, said Mr. Hodgins. Trustee honoraria has also gone up, said Mr. Hodgins. Late last year, trustees ap- proved increasing their annual salary from $5,000 to more than $16,000, as well as extra for being vice-chairman and chairman of the board. Changes to the Education Act also included a $2,500 student trustee honorarium which didn’t previously exist. For special education, the bud- get includes some self-contained special education classrooms, as well as staff time and prep in- creases, among others. It’s also continuing with chang- es recommended through its special education review passed in 2005. “With respect to transporta- tion, funding has been increased by two per cent to support op- erating cost increases, includ- ing fuel,” said Mr. Hodgins. “The draft expenditure budget reflects a two per cent cost increase to school bus operations.” He added the fuel benchmarks have increased in base cost con- tracts, located in a different part of the budget. For its 2007-2008 project bud- get, science lab upgrades for both Dunbarton High School and G.L. Roberts CVI are budgeted at $1.2 million each, while other large items include an elevator replacement at John Dryden PS for $450,000, chair-lift overhauls at various locations for $290,000, and painting at different facilities for $200,000. The next budget meeting is June 6.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Going green can earn you green We’ve all heard a lot lately about the need to take action on climate change. Most of the discussion has centred around the global environmental damage we’re doing to our biosphere by emitting more tonnes of greenhouse gases on a daily basis. Such issues as the melting of ice at the poles, drought in many parts of the planet and the increase in the number and severity of catastrophic storms have been making headlines for several years now. And the public has shown an interest in doing something about the problem -- from conserving energy to reducing, reus- ing and recycling to finding alternatives to fossil fuels. Innovations have included hybrid vehicles, advances in wind and solar power and a commitment to shutting down coal-fired generating plants. However, one of the main roadblocks to long-term, sustain- able solutions to global warming has been the fear that a green economy would mean job losses and slashed profit margins. But a presentation last week by businessman Michael Gerbis to the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade suggested going green could end up producing long green for savvy entrepreneurs. Mr. Gerbis, head of an environmental consulting firm which helps public and private firms develop sustainable greenhouse gas strategies, made a strong case for being environmentally responsible and profitable at the same time. “Do we have to choose between the economy and the envi- ronment? No,” he told the audience. Those who believe in his message include Environmental Fac- tor owner Betty Lou-Cadotte. Her company is a successful organic lawn-care service that provides products so safe for your patch of green that she says you can eat them. Steven Frei is the founder of Green Limousine, a service that uses hybrid vehicles to shuttle clients around. He believes in making a much smaller impact on the environ- ment. There will also be opportunities in energy, manufacturing, fuel and other technologies as the public pushes for sustainable development and a cleaner environment. Mr. Gerbis is a leader in that wave but it’s one that appears, thankfully, to be bringing along the rest of us as well. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group Airport proponent is naive To the editor: Re: May 11 letter, ‘Bring on the airport’, Tina Mason. The letter proclaiming an airport as answer to all our woes -- from low-paying jobs for young people, to pollution, to building hospitals -- is naive almost beyond belief. Until one realizes it was written by a real estate agent! A real estate agent suggesting that more development solves our problems is comparable to suggesting the Greater To ronto Airports Authority do its own review of why we should have an airport. The phrase fox in the hen house springs to mind. I, too, have concerns for my children and grandchildren. The day that urban sprawl and more airports offer hope for their future is the day I turn in my citizenship on this blue planet. Fresh air, fresh water, fresh food is my hope for future generations. Welcome to the 21st century! Mary Delaney Pickering Unemployed, those with disabilities and others impacted by shortfall Behind the rhetoric there lies a truth. At nearly every Regional council and committee meeting someone digresses to blaming the Province for a lack of funding flowing to essential social and health services. It sounds like a blame game at first, but when you think about it the Regional councillors have a point. Property taxes shouldn’t pay for social and health services. They should be paid for through income tax. Social and health services are under- funded and it is our most vulnerable com- munity members, senior citizens, citizens with developmental and mental challeng- es, new immigrants, children and youth, who suffer. Social and health services in- clude things like employment services, social assistance, disability benefits, social housing, childcare, homes for the aged and public health. We see the fallout in recent happenings like the closure of Adelaide house in Os- hawa and the list of 4,000 people waiting for a spot in Durham’s social housing. According to the Strong Communities Coalition, involving the collective efforts of the United Ways of Durham, Halton, Peel and York regions, along with the 905/ GTA Health Alliance, provincial funding for social services as well as health care has not kept pace with the rapidly grow- ing population of the GTA/905. We keep growing, but the money flowing from the Province hasn’t. In 2006, the gap was more than $660 million and the hospital funding gap near- ly $900 million. To highlight this, the Strong Communi- ties Coalition is holding various town hall meetings, with the next one taking place May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Oshawa City coun- cil chambers. A panel will discuss the impacts that funding shortfalls are currently having on our community, as well as the long-term impact that will be experienced by resi- dents if this situation is not remedied. At the January town hall meeting in Whitby, the panel talked about how social and health services impact things like the crime rate and quality of life. The vision is comprehensive quality health care and social services that are readily and locally accessible to all GTA residents. These town halls offer an interesting perspective into the situation and I en- courage you to attend because out of these meetings may come the movement to insight change. All levels of government need to work together to fill the gap, but we as voters need to bring that to bare. Erin Hatfield’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail ehatfield@durhamregion.com. Erin Hatfield staff writer Funding gap hurts most vulnerable THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 20, 2007 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com DURHAM -- He remains neutral on his community hosting an energy from waste facility, but Clarington Mayor Jim Abernethy says he is anything but undecided on the need to investigate waste management options. As the mayor of what could potentially be the host community, Mayor Abernethy said he has confi dence in the way the Region is going about this entire evolution. “This isn’t a process that started a couple of months ago,” he said. “I think what everyone has to understand is that Durham Region has made a decision to move forward in this direction.” He recently went to Tampa Bay, Florida to view an incinerator for the fi rst time. Although the one he saw varies quite a bit from what would be seen in Ontario, it has given him a good idea what Clarington might be looking at. “I have done enough research to understand the process so this was basically looking at something you see on paper something that you can touch and feel and listen, smell it,” Mayor Abernethy. Now, according to Mayor Abernethy, there are two decisions to be made; what technology will be used and where it will be located and his council will actively participate in answering these questions.

But, according to Region offi cials, that isn’t the case. They say there has been a long history leading to the decision to thermally treat Durham’s garbage. “I would hope the public would understand how much work has gone into moving to where we are today,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “The process from here on in will be just as time consuming and just as publicly involved as the previous decisions were.” A garbage game plan started in motion back in the early 1990s when council decided landfi lling wasn’t an option. “Council had just gone through a divisive and onerous process trying to site a landfi ll in Durham Region in conjunction with Toronto,” said Cliff Curtis, the commissioner of works. “Public reaction was very violent.” However, council acknowledged a responsibility to look after Durham waste locally and energy from waste was identifi ed as the preferred method. The public has been consulted along the way and will continue to be involved, according to Mr. Curtis. Public meetings were held on the terms of reference, which were then developed and approved by the Province. The terms of reference have been the Region’s road map. “The game plan now is, by the time we get to September we should have a recommended preferred site,” he said. After that, more consultation will take place and council will render its decision on what the preferred method is. “There has been a lot of background work done up to this point,” Mr. Curtis said. “As they focus in on a site, more detailed investigation will take place.

Adding to that, Cliff Curtis said if health and environmental concerns about incin- eration aren’t answered to the satisfaction of council, the plug can always be pulled on the contentious project. Nearly a dozen residents turned out to a May 16 Durham works committee meeting to plead with the Region to reconsider build- ing an energy-from-waste facility, otherwise known as an incinerator. “I am alarmed that my elected officials are even considering such a dangerous enter- prise.” said Jim Richards of Orono. “I don’t think (Durham) should be pushing the agen- da they are pushing. I think we should be looking at waste diversion.” Durham and York regions have developed independent long-term Waste Management Strategy Plans and energy from waste had been identified as the preferred method of dealing with residual garbage. Nearly all of the delegations that spoke trumpeted zero waste as the solution to deal- ing with Durham’s garbage. When asked if the Region was investigat- ing zero waste as an option, Mr. Curtis said Durham is running one of the highest waste diversion programs in Ontario, with rates hitting 60 per cent through green bin and blue-box collection. “Zero waste is not a realistically achievable objective at this time,” he said. Questions were raised about air quality standards, dioxins emitted and potential health effects of an energy from waste facil- ity. Pickering councillor Rick Johnson, who has been involved in waste management is- sues for 20 years, assured the residents their concerns are being taken into consideration by members of council. “We are listening to you and we will be sure your questions are answered before we even put a shovel in the ground,” Despite this assurance, residents like Barry Bracken of Port Perry continued to present their opposition. “I am here to urge you to say ‘no’ to incin- eration,” Mr. Bracken said. “Common sense tells me burning garbage is not a good idea.” Mr. Bracken and his daughter Wendy Bracken have both taken the time to attend a number of public meetings on the issue. “I have learned all kinds of reasons incin- eration is not a good idea,” Mr. Bracken said. His daughter, from Newcastle, said she believes not even the politicians have been made aware of the dangers of incineration. “First of all, the councillors in here need to educate themselves and second they need to educate the public,” Ms. Bracken said. “Then they will embrace landfill.” In an interview, Mr. Curtis said he was paying attention to the concerns raised at the meeting and took note of all of them. “Most of the concerns are legitimate,” Mr. Curtis said. “We will address those concerns as we go through the process. “If we get to a point that we can’t come up with answers that are satisfactory to council then we can’t proceed,” Mr. Curtis said. “Council will not vote to proceed unless they are certain this process will not have a negative effect on the health of residents or the environment,” he said. “Council is not interested in doing something that is harm- ful.” There are three points in the process where Yo rk or Durham can pull out. The first point was when the short list of sites was released in April. The regions will have that opportunity again when a preferred site is chosen and finally when a request for proposals is put to tender. Social service groups receive almost $400,000 DURHAM — The provincial government has promised $4.7 million to 33 commu- nity social service organizations around the Greater Toronto Area that serve people with developmental disabilities and women and children fleeing domestic violence. In Durham, Community Living Oshawa Clarington is receiving $297,225, Com- munity Living Ajax, Pickering and Whitby, $74,000, and Durham Association of Fam- ily Respite Services in Oshawa, $5,000. The grants will go to projects that help improve the quality of life for Ontarians. Mayah Sevink, executive director of the Durham Association of Family Respite Ser- vices, said organizations such as hers are always looking for additional funding. “We are very thankful for it. There are a number of families in Durham Region that need additional support,” Ms. Sevink said. The organization provides day relief and independent living support for people with developmental disabilities. The board has not yet identified how the money will be used, but there were no restrictions placed on it, according to Ms. Sevink.

On May 15, the Board launched an envi- ronmental task force whose goal is to raise awareness of environmental issues and help businesses transition towards greater sustainability. “We believe that their goal will be to educate and communicate with members on how to reduce their negative impact on the environment through sound energy efficiency and conservation practices,” said Diana Hills-Milligan, president of the board. The hope is that by providing tips on conservation, local businesses will be en- couraged to take simple steps, such as changing light bulbs, eliminating the use of chemicals or introducing composting at work. Some are already leading by example. Ta ke East Penn Canada. The Ajax com- pany manufactures lead acid batteries for automotive, industrial motive power and UPS emergency back-up systems. “Batteries are composed of hazard- ous waste materials,” said Lisa Dyble, the company’s marketing manager. “If left in a landfill, they would start to leak after a while and seep into the ground.” But the company uses their on-site smelter and refinery to fully recycle used batteries and uses the reclaimed lead, sul- furic acid and plastic to manufacture new battery products. “We recycle over six million batteries a year and the process is fully contained and safe for both our workers and the environ- ment,” she said. It is these types of initiatives that the new environmental task force will high- light and encourage. Although a relatively new venture, Ms. Hills-Milligan says the response from the board’s members has been encouraging. “We are committed to proactively rais- ing awareness among our members about global warming and to encourage them to do their part in establishing environmen- tally-friendly businesses,” she said.

YOUthFest ’07 set for June 1 Groups from All Saints and Denis O’Connor explore another lifestyle By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A trip into the Dominican Republic’s culture taught at least one student about the complex- ities of issues such as free trade and sweat shops. During a May 14 presen- tation to the Durham Cath- olic District School Board, a group of high school stu- dents shared their stories of experiencing the Domini- can Republic’s lifestyle. For their March Break, eight students from Whitby’s All Saints and eight from Ajax’s Denis O’Connor Catholic secondary schools stayed with families in the country to learn about their culture and challenges. “These students go down for a true immersion into the Dominican culture,” said Andre Tacchino, an All Saints teacher. Mr. Tacchino said the Dominican experience has been occurring for many years and is very different than other trips. It includes no hotels, air conditioning, or sight seeing. He said stu- dents go there not to help with a project, but to see things for themselves. A video presentation of the trip showed students in an outdoor classroom, people in a village, gar- bage, wandering chickens, clothes hanging to dry, and kids holding hands or re- ceiving piggy-backs from the Durham students. “We visited a lot of schools while we were there,” said Alicia Lalak, an All Saints student. “They were all really ex- cited to show us the work they were working on,” added Arielle Boissonneau, another student. She said all the kids grabbed the hands of visitors and claimed a person for the day. Alicia said they spent some time in an area called ‘Bateys’, which is extremely different than what we have here. Arielle said the little hous- es in the area had bunk beds and about eight people liv- ing in each. She added there was little more space than to reach your arms out. In the Bateys, families spend the majority of their time outside because there is so little space in their homes. The group toured another area as well called ‘Barrios’, built in the city on a steep hill. It was unsafe and had open sewers and overhang- ing wires. In the Dominican, sugar is the second largest in- dustry aside from tourism, said Alicia. Arielle said in the Bateys they learned what workers make per day working with sugar, about 60 pesos or $2.50 Canadian; not a lot and they usually get cheated out of some. But, the sugar industry in the Dominican is mostly run by foreign companies so the country itself doesn’t benefit, said Valerie Davis, an All Saints student and Pickering resident. In the country, most of the social programs and clinics they saw in Consuelo were run by churches. “The church does an amazing job in helping where the government can’t,” said Valerie. She said the group also visited Free Trade Zones which have no export taxes attached to items made there. A number of the Free Trade Zone jobs have been cut significantly over the years. People who work in the sweat shops make about 1,000 pesos or $41 Canadian a week, which according to the govern- ment is enough to live on. She talked to some people there to learn more about their work. Valerie said fix- ing the problem is not as simple as just boycotting companies that use sweat- shops because people are grateful for the work they have. She added the trip re- ally taught her to be more aware of the consequences of our actions back home.

Mark Elliott, who be- came the senior vice-pres- ident of Pickering ‘A’ on April 1, said the Path to Excellence Plan is aimed at instilling a “pride in the plant” for employees. One such action is to keep the plant clean. “We feel like that initia- tive has been completed. The plant looks good,” Mr. Elliott said. “We have it as a base program.” The plan includes lead- ership, equipment reli- ability, putting Units 2 and 3 into safe storage, work control, and nuclear safety and operational focus. “The leadership team of ‘A’ has been busy, rolling out the Path to Excellence plan,” Mr. Elliott said dur- ing a meeting of the Com- munity Advisory Council on Tuesday. “We need good leaders throughout the plant. “We need to keep the equipment reliable and it remains a focus,” he stat- ed. In the summer of 2005, Ontario Power Generation announced Units 2 and 3 wouldn’t be refurbished because of costs. Instead, they would be put into safe storage. In safe storage, all the fuel and liquids are re- moved from the reactors, Mr. Elliott noted. There are 390 fuel channels in each reactor and in Unit 2, only 27 have fuel remain- ing in them. The aim of nuclear safe- ty and operational focus is ensuring “those areas have a high focus,” he stated. Given that many of the workers are reaching re- tirement age, Mr. Elliott said it’s important to make sure “procedures are well written. We’re passing the torch from one generation of workers to others. We want those young workers to have the optimum abil- ity to get the work done.” Mr. Elliott noted five of the six units at Pickering are operating at full power. Unit 5 is in the middle of planned outage, which “is going well,” he said. Unit 1 will go into a planned outage this fall. Unit 1 came back into ser- vice in the fall of 2005 and “it needs it’s first mainte- nance update,” he added. He noted the ‘B’ side of Pickering and the Darling- ton station “are into their outage season.” “Unit 5 is tracking very well. It’s now into its sev- enth week,” he said. OPG is also moving to a three-year outage cycle at Darlington. “They will do all the work to ensure a reliable three-year run,” he said, adding it had been on a two-year outage cycle. “It’s a positive benefit in a number of ways.” OPG has also filed an application with its fed- eral regulator, the Cana- dian Nuclear Safety Com- mission, to construct up to 4,800 megawatts of power at Darlington, he said, adding the exact number of reactors that will be needed isn’t yet known. “The application is ge- neric and didn’t state what type of reactor will be used. This is the first step and this is all the informa- tion we have right now,” he said, adding the CNSC is examining what the next steps will be. P ublic consultations continue on the possible refurbishment of the ‘B’ side reactors, he noted. “We’ve just completed the last round of open houses. We did more at the request of the CNSC.” OPG is completing a business case, with an en- vironmental assessment, on whether the work can be done. The CNSC will ultimately decide if the work goes ahead. Fr om 5.1% forFrom 5.1% for 5years.5 years. 1st. & 2nd.1st. & 2nd.

Patterson, Durham’s’ leading Food and Health Coach, recognized the need to incorporate good nutrition to the whole family versus only individuals. “Most mom’s/women seek nutritional counselling and pay hundred’s of dollars trying to lose weight,” she says. “The problem is she is on this journey alone. With no support at home and her family still indulging in a sedentary life style and poor food choices, Mom will most likely throw in the towel as the competition is too great and life is so busy. Trying to make the effort alone becomes too overwhelming, and she ultimately feels defeated.” Patterson offers a Family Rescue Plan, which includes all willing family members. Each member is set up with their own nutritional and exercise program that they can do together privately at her personal training studio. The food is all grocery store bought food so there are never diffi cult or confusing items or choices to make, no gimmicks, no pills, no measuring. Patterson offer’s nutritional education to the whole family while under her care. “Most people have no idea what their food is really made of. They don’t know how to read a nutritional label or ingredient list. They certainly do not know what the real long term effects of depriving your body of essential nutrients and exercise will be.” Patterson can take the mystery out of all of these questions and educate you along the way. Further to her credits, Patterson is also the co-founder of Average Joe’s Fitness and a volunteer with the Heart & Stroke Foundation. She presents nutritional seminars, lunch and learns throughout Durham Region and is available to schools, businesses, individuals or families.

Catch Uxbridge troops day on video Documentary being created to raise funds DURHAM — If you missed the Ux- bridge rally for Canadian troops April 21, there’s still a chance to catch the highlights. Uxbridge Legion officials worked with Clulow and Associates, a com- munication specialist, to produce a short movie filled with footage from the April 21 ‘Uxbridge Supports Our Troops’ day. The film can be found at www.clulowassociates.com/seaofred. htm. In addition, a one-hour documen- tary filled with April 21 footage along with interviews, to be ready mid-June, is being created by the same produc- ers. The longer film will be available on DVD for $20, with all proceeds going to a Wounded Warrior fund. Orders can be made in advance by printing forms from the above-mentioned web- site and mailing them to the Uxbridge Legion on Franklin Street. Meanwhile, a copy of the April 21 footage along with a banner signed by residents made its way to Kandahar, with a Canadian flag signed by troops coming in exchange, to be placed in the Legion for display, noted Mr. Thibodeau.

On May 16, Blue Line Durham Region Inc. an- nounced it bought Pick-N-Go Taxi in Pickering. Blue Line will buy and manage the majority of taxi plates within the company, replacing the vehicles with new ones. The addition of Blue Line taxis in Pickering makes the largest taxi carrier in Durham Region even bigger. “A dding 16 to the fleet will make a dramatic difference in the service we can provide,” said general manager Roy Williams. Blue Line began service in Oshawa and Claring- ton, and will celebrates its three-year anniversary May 19. In February, it won a controversial battle against competitors to operate a fleet in Ajax. Pickering saw a small fleet of Blue Line taxis in March, but the company taking over Pick-N-Go makes the fleet around 30 cars. Mr. Williams said Blue Line does 60 per cent of the taxi business in Oshawa and six cars are on the day shift in Ajax. “Within three years, I think we’ve done rather well,” he said. Mr. Williams said the company intends to be- come a regional service, and the Pick-N-Go acqui- sition helps build toward that goal. He said it will also benefit customers since “you can call Blue Line from wherever you are.” He noted a lot of Ajax residents use the Pickering To wn Centre, for example, and many Pickering residents use Rouge Valley Ajax Pickering hospital in Ajax. Blue Line generally uses Chevrolet Impalas, Lincoln Town Cars or Black London Taxis. All of Blue Line’s approximate 100 cars throughout the region are equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS), rear passenger colour displays for customer information and silent computer dis- patching. Mr. Williams said computer dispatching is ben- eficial to customers since there is no confusion in regard to the order of calls. “The one thing about computers is there are no favourites,” he said. Mr. Williams said all Blue Line drivers wear uni- forms and undergo extensive training in customer service. For example, he said drivers will always help customers with groceries or packages. Mr. Williams said although Blue Line accessible taxis are not yet in Pickering, they hope to operate one that Pick-N-Go was using. He said they plan to order at least one by July and Ajax will soon receive two. The London Cab is also wheelchair accessible. “When it comes to accessible vehicles, every- one works as a community,” he said. “We would not leave anyone stuck.” Soon, all calls made to Pick-N-Go will be redi- rected to the Blue Line number.

But when one leg is longer than the other leg, there are complications, which can become quite painful. When the difference is substantial, the effect on gait and posture can be quite disruptive. There are two types of limb- length discrepancies. The first is designated as structural. This is an actual difference in the skeletal length of one leg. This could be caused by polio, hip replacement or leg fracture. The other is known as a function discrepancy. The actual length of the legs are the same but a curve in the back or a dropped pelvis may lead to the difference in leg length. Changes in walking patterns occur as your body tries to shorten the longer leg and lengthen the shorter leg. This can be seen in the foot whereby the foot on the shorter side maintains a higher arch and the patient will bear weight on the outside of the foot. This foot can be a shoe size smaller because of the higher arch. The foot on the longer leg will lose some of its arch and weight will be borne along the big toe side of the foot. This foot, because of the fallen arch can be a size longer. The foot on the shorter leg can be prone to stress fractures as the foot is more rigid while the leg on the longer side may be prone to knee strains due to internal rota- tion of the leg. The most common change in posture due to a limb-length dis- crepancy is scoliosis, a curve in the back. As a result of the scoliosis, the patient’s pelvis will be tilted down on the shorter leg side; the head and shoulder will be tilted down the longer leg side and even the level of the fingers when stand- ing erect will be lower on the long side. Even skin-folds of the gluteal muscles (bum) will be uneven. All this occurs so that the body com- pensates for the unevenness in the length of the legs, which can lead to the patient walking with a limp. The measurement of the length of legs is not very accurate. I use two different methods and look for a raw difference as I measure from the belly button to the inside ankle and also the top of the hipbone to the inside ankle. Tr eatment involves lifts and/or orthotics. Purely structural defor- mities require a lift for the shorter leg. Functional deformities are best treated with orthotics. Asymmetri- cal problems should not be treated lightly. They are one of the leading causes of back problems and the third most common cause of run- ning injuries.

Fortunately, there are lots of other things you can do that are good for your body. June is Recreation Month, so how about step- ping up the pace of your special interests and hobbies? If you like music, try dancing. It might not feel like exercise, but dancing is a wonderful way to get your body moving. Bird watching means a walk in the woods. Nature photography gets you out hiking – and gives you an opportunity to explore more of Ontario’s provincial parks. During the weekend, take the time to be a kid again with a few friends and visit a school yard for a game of tag, hopscotch, or initiate a softball game. It will be fun and provides a valuable workout. Here are some ways to be more active: • Mow your lawn with a push mower instead of an electric one. • Ride your bicycle instead of using your car. • Organize a community clean-up of your neighbourhood’s local park or ravine. • Get your friends or co-workers together and form a beach volleyball or softball team. • Take up gardening and if you don’t have one, find out about community plots in your neighbourhood.

Be sure to take all the steps necessary to stay alert however. It is reported that at any given time, as many as 22 per cent of North American drivers are feeling drowsy, or operating a vehicle without sufficient sleep. Driving drowsy, say researchers, is as dangerous as driving drunk. “You can improve your ability to stay alert for all daily activities,” says research sci- entist Sharla Sutherland, Ph.D. “Mental alertness relies on the strength of neurotransmitters in the brain, in particular the important learning and memory neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (ACh). Measures can be taken to help counteract the decrease in ACh levels which can be associated with aging and stress.” Some natural health products have been shown to enhance mental alert- ness in this way, says Dr. Sutherland, who has studied natural energy boost- ers. One such product is caffeine-free Remember-fX, which has been shown to increase ACh levels to enhance men- tal alertness. For families travelling any distance on the road this summer, here are some additional safety tips: • Don’t drive when sleepy. • Schedule a break every two hours. • Stop driving when you first become drowsy. Rolling down windows and turn- ing up the radio are not effective. • Get at least six hours sleep the night before a road trip. • Don’t do a night drive, if you have worked all day. • Drive when you are normally awake. • Schedule normal sleep periods, in- stead of driving straight through. Stay alert for long-distance vacation driving - News Canada Healthwellness ADVERTISING FEATURE& SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com AJAX — There’s just no slowing down Eberhardt Gerlitz. The 82-year-old Ajax resident recently achieved a significant milestone while also keeping fit over the years, receiving his 40- year pin from the German Sports Federation after having fulfilled a number of age-specific physi- cal fitness requirements again this year. He started the German equiva- lent of the old Participaction Can- ada badge program when he was 17, earning the bronze level of tests that took into account long- and short-distance running, jumping and swimming. After a pause of 20 years and after immigrating to Canada, Gerlitz started back into the tests at age 42 and continued them each year through to the present time. “I met some people that were doing this, so I decided ‘why not give this a try’,” he says. Gerlitz says he and approxi- mately 35 other German ex-pats get together three times a year to do the various tests. “We’re mainly older types. We wish there were more younger ones,” he says. The badges, he says, are simply a way to get fit and to measure his level of fitness each year. He also knows when it will be time to quit taking part in the badge program. “If I can’t lift the shot any more (for shot put) then that will be it,” he says. Ajacian marks another fitness milestone Penalty kicks seal West Niagara title for Thunder AJAX — The Ajax Thunder boys’ under-11 rep soccer team had its mettle tested to the max, but still perservered to capture the championship at the West Ni- agara Invitational Soccer Tourna- ment last weekend. In the final, the Ajacians battled the Kitchener Spirit to a 1-1 nail- biting draw in regulation time. Two, 10-minute overtime periods left the score unchanged, so the match and the tournament was settled on penalty kicks. The Thunder, however, finally broke the deadlock in the shoot- out for their first championship in their first ever 11-a-side tourna- ment. “It was a well-deserved boost to begin and set the tone for a much- anticipated outdoor season,” said head coach Justin Terry. The Ajax boys gave a full-out team effort during the tourna- ment, scoring a total of 16 goals from 10 different players through- out the weekend. In the semifinal, the Ajax Thun- der played the North York Hearts to a 2-2 tie at the end of regula- tion time. A golden goal overtime win clinched the Thunder a spot in the final match. The Thunder opened the play- offs with an emphatic 5-0 shutout of the North York Cosmos.
