HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2007_08_12Boy’s effort to sell lemonade brings out community support By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A sour experience has turned sweet for six-year-old Gabriel Gilbert. The young Ajax resident had hit a wall in his recent attempt to raise money for The Hospital for Sick Children. Local businesses and even the Town of Ajax weren’t willing to let Gabriel set up his lemonade stand on their property because of issues of insurance and liability. But, after Gabriel and his father, Adam Gilbert, told their story in the News Advertiser, an outpouring of support came from the communi- ties of Ajax and Pickering. After the story appeared in the paper nearly a dozen people called with offers to let Gabriel set up in front of their businesses. “We have been very blessed by the community,” said Loretta Gilbert, Gabriel’s mother. “It was amazing for them to step-up in this way.” With the community behind him, Gabriel was able to raise $426 in a single weekend. They set their stand up on Fri- day night at the PartsSource on Kingston Road in Pickering dur- ing the Friday Classic Car Cruise Night. In addition to allowing Gabriel to set up in the parking lot, em- ployees of PartSource garnered a $100 donation for Gabriel. The following day the Gilberts set up in the parking lot of the Canadian Tire in Ajax during the Road Legends Cruises. “We squeezed 160 lemons,” said Ms. Gilbert who said they sold in the area of 60 litres of lemonade. Cups of fresh squeezed lemonade sold for $1 and Ms. Gilbert said lots of donations came in on top of that. Ms. Gilbert said it was touching to see, especially when a six-year- old boy gave Gabriel a $20 bill out of his piggy bank. “Gabriel said to him, ‘you’re a good kid’,” Ms. Gilbert said. “One six year old talking to another six year old, it was so touching.” Available at the following Bell stores: Pickering Pickering Town Centre 905 837-1212 Whitby Whitby Mall 905 725-1212Get it now from Bell.

Cabbies beaten, threatened with gun PICKERING — Taxi drivers were assaulted and threatened in two separate early morning assaults recently in Pickering, police say. Durham cops are looking for witnesses to the incidents, both of which occurred when cab driv- ers were confronted by young sus- pects believed to be in their teens or early 20s. In the first occurrence, a 51-year- old driver told investigators he’d been taking a nap in the parking lot at the Pickering Town Centre around 3 a.m. Aug. 3 when he was accosted by two young men, one of whom held a gun to the victim’s face and demanded money. The driver started his vehicle and sped away before contacting police. He said the two suspects, who had been wearing ski masks, had fled the scene on bicycles. And around 5:35 a.m. Wednes- day a driver was napping in his car near Denmar Road and Pickering Parkway when a young suspect climbed into the front seat and reached over to grab the car keys. The 61-year-old driver was as- saulted by the suspect when he leapt out of the car and two other males joined in the attack, police said. The teenaged suspects, two of whom are black, ran off with cash stolen from the driver; a passerby called police. Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2544 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

About 520 people were attending the confer- ence when the incident occurred, around 10:45 a.m. The church is at the corner of Bayly Street and Audley Road. Dave Clarke, the platoon chief for the Ajax Fire and Emergency Services, said workers installing watermains punctured a one-inch, high-pressure gas main. Bayly Street was closed in both directions for more than an hour as crews worked to close the leak. Mr. Clarke expected Bayly Street would be closed for more than two hours as workers had to cut a hole to shut off the leak. There were no injuries caused by the leak, Mr. Clarke added. Gary Webster was attending the conference when the leak occurred. “We got a call and we evacuated when the fire department asked us to,” Mr. Webster said. “You could see all the dust blowing in the air” from the pressure in the gas line, he added. John Wiersma was also attending the confer- ence, which was centred in Chicago and telecast live to the Ajax church. People from across the GTA were attending, as well as some from as far away as Vancouver and Quebec. “We were advised a gas main had been cut. The senior pastor asked us to orderly evacuate the church. It took five to 10 minutes and here we are,” Mr. Wiersma said. Some of the conference attendees said they could see a plume of gas go up in the air. The wind was blowing southerly causing gas to blow over the church. “You could smell it as well,” Mr. Wiersma said. Firefighters checked the inside of the church to ensure the atmosphere was clear before letting conference attendees go back inside.

Raglan resident adds solar panels to his clean energy supply By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — When John Ekker re- tires, he likely won’t have to worry about his heating and electricity bills. The Raglan resident has spent the last several months making his house more self-sufficient by installing geo- thermal heating and cooling and more recently, a solar panel system. “In the next couple of years, we’d like to be off the grid,” said Mr. Ekker. On July 31, he fired up the more than $20,000, 16-panel system, which produces about 3 KW of power a day - enough to cut his already reduced energy costs from about $250 a month to $100. To run the house completely off solar, he’ll need to increase the panels to produce 4.5 KW. Mr. Ekker said when he did his calculations for the solar panels, he didn’t take phan- tom power into consideration and will eventually have to add more panels to increase its output. His solar generation system uses net-metering, which allows excess en- ergy produced during the day to go back into the meter for a credit, so it can be used during the evening when more people are home. Before adding the solar panels, Mr. Ekker was already enjoying the cost savings from his geothermal system installed about four months ago. “It’s working and I’m happy,” said Mr. Ekker. His six-tonne heat pump and cooling system is six-feet deep in the ground and uses trenches to circulate water for energy. Although it cost him about $24,000, he’ll get about $8,000 back in rebates, as well as his monthly cost savings for heating, cooling, and hot water. “Being we have four women in the house, I don’t have to tell you how much hot water you use,” said Mr. Ekker. Since the pump’s installation, the family spends $7 a month instead of $100 to $120, he added. Mr. Ekker said the heat pump works like a fridge by taking liquid to a gas state and re- moving the heat or cold. When the water’s heated, it’s moved to a pre- heating tank. So far this year, he’s only spent about $32 to heat his pool, whereas others can spend $600 to $3,000 for the sea- son. At 45, Mr. Ekker tells his friends to think about getting into renewable en- ergy. Although there’s the initial in- vestment, they won’t have the burden of paying for energy and delivery fees when they retire and are on a fixed income. Mr. Ekker got into the clean energy business after spending 25 years as a contractor. He built his Raglan home in 2000 and set a goal to be off the energy grid by 2007. When 2006 hit, he started putting his plan into action and took Durham College’s renewable energy program with professor Phil Coulter. “There’s a lot that people can do, but I don’t think people are educated on what they can do,” said Mr. Ekker. Mr. Ekker and Mr. Coulter have since become business partners in The Green PowerHouse Corp. and Durham College students helped install his re- newable energy projects to gain hands- on experience. Although Mr. Ekker still moonlights as a contractor, he thinks geothermal will be the primary heating and cooling source within five years. He recently started working with builders to in- corporate renewable energy into their construction plans. Going green in Durham Fast facts • Each of Mr. Ekker’s solar panels produces 170 watts a day • Geothermal energy uses steam or hot water from the earth’s crust to create energy • The heating pump can heat water from 49 to 80 F in three minutes DURHAM — A job fair in Ajax will provide networking opportunities for youth and employers.

Company keeping pace with customers By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Veridian isn’t just talk- ing the talk, it’s walking the walk. The company is going green, follow- ing the same green advice it’s asking of its customers. “We wanted to show leadership in the communities we serve,” says George Armstrong, Veridian’s manager of regulatory affairs and key projects. “It’s a direction our board of directors was interested in. “It’s the right thing to do for our customers and our company. It goes hand-in-hand with the saving of en- ergy. It’s something we’re interested in promoting,” Mr. Armstrong notes. “For a number of years, we’ve been looking at ways to reduce our environ- mental footprint.” About 18 months ago, an employees’ group was formed to find ways of re- ducing the company’s environmental footprint. “A couple of years ago, we put a real emphasis on energy conservation. It’s been going very well.” Veridian commissioned a report by Durham Sustain Ability, which showed efforts over the past year have meant a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions of more than 164 tonnes. That’s equal to a 10 per cent re- duction in electricity consumption by about 800 homes. The company’s energy saving pro- gram is an “on going” effort, Mr. Arm- strong states. “Our initial goal was to take up the Energy Conservation Challenge from Ontario’s Chief Energy Conservation Officer,” he says, noting that goal was a 10 per cent reduction in energy con- sumption by the end of 2007. “That’s a target we’re well on the way to reaching. Once we do, we’ll work to reduce it further,” Mr. Armstrong says. Company employees are “very en- thusiastic about energy conservation and doing our part to green our com- munities.” One of the highest profile initiative is the solar-powered car driven by Verid- ian president and CEO Michael Ange- meer. “It’s the first one in Canada.” The car is powered up using a solar and wind-power station at the Ajax of- fice, Mr. Armstrong states. The company has also installed solar arrays at the Ajax and Pickering offices, he notes. Other initiatives include “energy conservation measures, like more ef- ficient lighting in our buildings,” he says. Veridian has made it a company phi- losophy to be more environmentally friendly, including buying hybrid ve- hicles. One of the bigger initiatives was re- placing incandescent emergency lights on 14 vehicles with high-efficiency LED lights. It eliminates the need for the ve- hicles to idle while the lights are on. More than 78,000 litres of fuel have been saved, as well as about 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year not being re- leased into the atmosphere. HWY. 47 RE-CONSTRUCTION THROUGH UXBRIDGE NOW COMPLETE!

The residents’ concern rests on re- ports from two consultants that were meant to be discussed by Clarington council last week, but did not appear on the final agenda. The reports are a review of the work done so far in the Region of Durham’s Environmental Assessment process on a potential energy-from-waste (EFW) facility. The review was commissioned by Clarington when the municipality found itself on a short list of potential EFW host sites. Clarington CAO Franklin Wu said the reports were taken off the July 30 agenda because there were some con- cerns expressed from the Region after a draft copy was given to councillors for preparatory reading. “The report wasn’t included, didn’t find its way onto the agenda, because we received the call from the Region of Durham on Tuesday (that) they were requesting additional time be provided for the Region’s consultant to talk to our peer review consultant to clarify several technical matters,” Mr. Wu said. The final report will be presented at a meeting on Sept. 4, he added. Jim Richards, an organizer of the event, said his concern is what will happen to the report between now and September if the Region is allowed to give its input. “It will end up being a revised re- port,” he said. “That’s a real concern for us. It begs the question: what are they trying to hide?” More than a dozen residents turned up to the rally -- holding signs that read ‘Say no to incineration’ -- to de- mand that council make the peer re- view public immediately and not at the September meeting. But Mr. Wu said the public shouldn’t be concerned about the integrity of the process since discussions between consultants and peer reviewers are quite common in these types of proceedings. Cliff Curtis, the Region’s commis- sioner of works, said there was nothing untoward about the process. “Basically it was becoming clear that everyone was having trouble getting their comments together, so we ex- tended the deadline,” he said, referring to a deadline set by the Region for comment from Clarington council and residents on the EA process. Mr. Curtis said his staff had some concerns that there were inaccuracies with the peer review reports and it was his understanding that the reports needed more clarification. “They are independent reports, but there is ongoing consultation,” he said. “They (Clarington) need access to the people who did the reports.” Councillor Gord Robinson, who briefly attended the rally, said he had shared some of the residents’ concerns about the process but is now satisfied that the review is transparent. “Any changes made to the original report will be highlighted and marked as changes,” he said, adding that the public will have access to both ver- sions. -- with files from Erin Hatfield and Jennifer Stone Incineration issue heats up ‘Basically it was becoming clear that everyone was having trouble getting their comments together, so we extended the deadline.’ REGIONAL WORKS COMMISSIONER CLIFF CURTIS SUDOKU Now online at 48 1 7 8 6 7 3 576 1 86 9 5 6 7 687 3 91 4 19 24 durhamregion.com 48 1 7 8 6 7 3 576 1 86 9 5 6 7 687 3 91 4 19 24 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 12 2007 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR NEWS ADVERTISER Metroland Durham Region Media Group Tim Whittaker, Publisher Joanne Burghardt, Editor-in-Chief Mike Johnston, Managing Editor Duncan Fletcher, Director of Advertising Andrea McFater, Retail Advertising Manager Eddie Kolodziejcak, Classified Advertising Abe Fakhourie, Distribution Manager Lillian Hook, Office Manager Cheryl Haines, Composing Manager Janice O’Neil, Composing Manager [ Contact us ]-- News/Sales 905-683-5110; Clas- sifieds 905-683-0707; Distribution 905-683-5117; News Fax 905-683- 0386; General Fax 905-683-7363; E-mail mjohnston@durhamregion. com; Mailing Address; 130 Com- mercial Ave., Ajax, Ont.

As a result, our borders have become better fortified on both sides, airport security has been stepped up across the country and closer to home new and improved security mea- sures have been put in place at Ontario Power Generation’s facilities. Durham Regional Police forged a partnership with OPG shortly after 9/11 and together they’ve improved security, both internally and externally at our nuclear power stations. Indeed, this partnership has allowed OPG to focus on other security enhancements they would not normally have had time to do if they had been left alone without DRPS. The re- sult has been a new security building at Darlington and finely tuned security measures including geometric identification. Now, at the direction of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Com- mission, OPG is set to put in place its own armed force. By 2013 its relationship with DRPS will conclude and it will go it alone. It’s still too early to say whether this will be a good thing as there is not enough information yet being disclosed by OPG. For example, no numbers have been released as to how large the security force will be when it’s fully operational. As well, the type of training, psychological and physical, the security force will be put through is not known. Given DRPS will be involved until the transition is complete gives us reason for optimism. They are, after all, the best security force we have in Durham Region. We’re hopeful the OPG force that eventually takes over to protect all of its operations is as good if not better than what DRPS is now providing. After all if anything were to ever hap- pen at any of OPG’s facilities its impact would be far reaching. Security is our only line of defence. Don’t spend tax dollars on private causes To the editor: Re: Aug. 1 editorial, Grants program was out of control. Thank you for publishing an editorial which exposes just how much our politicians take from us to buy themselves votes. This kind of runaway government would not be a prob- lem in the first place if we weren’t taxed to fund any special interest programs, and instead left it up to private citizens to donate money to the causes they feel are worth of their sup- port. Bureaucrats who spend tax dollars on special causes are not worthy of any merit. It’s the equivalent of a bartender who passes out free liquor to customers. They expect some great tips as a result from the parties who benefit, but in the long run their employer will fire them. Hopefully Ontario’s voters will decide to fire the Liberal government this fall. Marty Gobin Whitby T here’s something ‘bout a lemon- ade stand that stands for all that’s good. No truer sentiment could be ex- pressed than this lyric from the Ron Sexsmith song ‘Lemonade Stand’. And no clearer representation of all that’s good could be made than the tale of Ga- briel Gilbert and his lemonade stand. It began as a bitter story of big, bad business standing in the way of a pure and innocent attempt to make the world a better place. Six-year-old Gabriel Gilbert just wanted to sell lemonade, not for prof- it like most cardboard stores you see along the street, but to raise money for The Hospital for Sick Children. His parents, brimming with pride, fostered Gabriel’s altruism, supported him, encouraged him and tried to assist him in having the most successful little lemonade stand in town. Since they live on a crescent the Gil- bert’s went to local businesses begging them to let Gabriel set up shop in front of a store to maximize traffic. But, in a sad representation of the corporate mentality that seems to have taken precedence over community, the businesses approached, even the Town of Ajax, refused Gabriel because of is- sues of liability and insurance. After all someone might get a squirt of lemon in the eye and sue. In a last ditch effort the Gilberts told their story to Metroland and the re- sponse was heart warming – nearly a dozen businesses, from Bowmanville to Toronto, called offering Gabriel a spot in front of their stores and residents called offering donations. Last weekend Gabriel set up his Sunk- ist stand at the PartSource in Pickering on Friday and the Road Legends Cruises at Canadian Tire in Ajax on Saturday. After squeezing 160 lemons Gabriel was able to raise $426, which he will hand over to The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren. The response from the community and caring business people turned this bitter story sweet. I can’t say it better than Gabriel’s mother who wrote in an e-mail, “Thank you for running the story and helping a little boy keep his faith in humanity. What a touching ex- perience it has been.” The situation had the potential to sour one young soul on the power he holds to make a difference, to incite change. But instead, because of the people who choose to hold philanthro- py and community above issues of li- ability and insurance, young Gabriel has leaned how wonderful it feels to work hard and pour your heart into a good cause. He has learned his community sup- ports him and with every dollar he made he learned he can make the world a better place. Erin Hatfield’s column ap- pears every third Sunday.

Walter Passarellla/ News Advertiser photo Studying hard DURHAM — Students from across Durham Region, including Tara Levere and the rest of her Grade 7 classmates, went back to school at C.E. Broughton in Whitby this week as the school began it’s modified school year. (NC)-The organization spear-heading the computerization of Canada’s heath care system says the Prairies are making signifi - cant progress. Richard Alvarez, president and CEO of Canada Health Infoway, says high-speed networks in Manitoba are connecting patients with specialists, saving money and reducing delays and stress. “The Prairies have the ability to make great strides on the eHealth ,” said Alvarez. “Not only will eHealth result in better patient out- comes, it will uncover effi ciencies that will save billions of dollars.” Health care providers in Saskatchewan can access their pa- tients’ complete medication his- tory electroni- cally, thanks to a pharmacy in- formation net- work. Alvarez adds that Saskatch- ewan is co-or- dinating some of its initiatives with Alberta and British Co- lumbia. He says this is helping all three provinces learn from each other and build on each other’s successes. Infoway is a federally-fund- ed organization spearheading the switch from paper records - still the norm in most doc- tors’ offi ces - to computerized ones. By Anne Dranitsaris, Ph.D. Slow down! Take a deep breath! Accept things as they are! These common suggestions for dealing with stress and discomfort may seem simple, but fol- lowing through on them is often harder than it sounds. Sometimes it takes training to learn to “let go” of stress or pain. But can we train the mind to heal the body? Mindfulness meditation has been championed for centuries in religious practices such as Bud- dhism, as a practice that seeks to free the mind of the faithful from the constraints of stress, worry, and self. Only in the past few decades has it been studied as a potential adjuvant medical treat- ment. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a program designed and implemented by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., founder of the Center for Mind- fulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. A molecular biologist, Kabat-Zinn studied Buddhist meditation and incorporated its key principles into a course harnessing the link between mind and body. Since that time, the fi eld has expand- ed to encompass over 240 programs across the U.S and Canada. Results of various clinical studies using Mind- fulness Meditation have lead researchers to hy- pothesize that our body’s response to both posi- tive and negative life situations is plastic, and can change and improve through training. Perhaps, MBSR offers the key to tapping this unforeseen potential to deal with a variety of stressors, emo- tional, physical, and spiritual. As more research is done in this area, we will continue to learn more about the untapped possibilities of the mind in creating both a mental and physical shift towards total health and wellness. Mindfulness means paying attention, on pur- pose, to what is happening in the moment with- out getting lost in thoughts about the past or wor- ries about the future. Mindfulness helps people manage stress, chronic illness, pain, depression, and anxiety by teaching them to recognize and accept their thoughts, feelings and bodily sensa- tions, all of which are connected. You learn to re- spond to life consciously instead of reacting to it unconsciously. The MBSR program utilizes techniques such as meditation, body awareness scan and gentle stretching (adapted for those with physical limi- tations). Participants learn how to cope with their health and fi nd peace of mind by working with the very stresses and pains that are the source of their discomfort. Daily homework with CD’s and workbook support practice between sessions. While MBSR techniques are not curative for dis- eases or stressful conditions, they guide partici- pants in learning how to relate to the condition rather than fi ghting it or wishing it away. Anne Dranitsaris. Ph.D. is a clinical psychother- apist in private practice at the Centre for Mind- ful Therapies in the Pickering Village in Ajax. She works with individuals, couples and groups using Mindfulness-based approaches for treatment of stress-related problems, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), asthma is now a health problem of sig- nifi cant global concern, affecting over 100 million people worldwide. Statistics Canada reports 8.4 per cent of the population age 12 or older have been diagnosed with asthma (2000-2001), with this disease affecting at least 12 per cent of Ca- nadian children. According to the Canadian Lung Association, every year in Canada, approximately 146,000 emergency room visits are related to asth- ma attacks. Asthma sufferers experience diffi culty moving air into and out of their lungs. Narrowed airways be- come irritated, which leads to coughing. The mus- cles around the airways become tight and spasm, leading to an onset of symptoms which includes shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. The symptoms of asthma and the de- gree to which they are experienced will vary from person to person. A small subset of individuals with asthma may develop permanent lung damage as they grow older or develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Homeopathic treatment of Asthma In studying the individualizing asthmatic symptoms and precipitating factors experienced by the pa- tient, the homeopathic physician further investi- gates the patient’s medical history, family history, physical and psychological characteristics and history of disease suppression. This helps to identify the true, underlying cause of the problem. Armed with this information, a homeopathic remedy can then be administered which best matches the symptom expression and characteristics of the patient. The ultimate goal of homeopathic treat- ment is to slowly and gently remove the symptoms, progressively leading to an improvement in the patient’s quality of life. What is Homeopathy? Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine which uses medicines referred to as “remedies” made from plants, minerals and other substances, taken in very small quantities for a short period of time. Their effect however is deep and long last- ing. Homeopathic medicines are safe, non-addic- tive and act to stimulate the body’s own natural healing ability. Rather than acting to block natural processes, homeopathic medicines provide the information needed by the body to sort out the problem in an appropriate manner, thereby ac- celerating the healing process. Gary W. Brown is a homeopathic physician whose main scope of practice is the homeopath- ic treatment of symptoms associated with chronic disease.

Dr. John Bailar M.D. PhD. former editor- in-chief of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute states: “For diseases to start and continue growing, they must out-maneuver the many long arms of our immune defenses. The immune system is both your first and last defense against cancer.” Pollutants, viruses, carcinogens and germs in our daily food, water and air have to be eliminated daily by a strong immune system or we will get sick. A fully active immune system helps to prevent deterioration of energy, mus- cular strength, bone loss and brain damage. Dr. Ron Kennedy M.D., Immune Specialist, writes we have pre-cancerous and cancer cells in our body every day that need to be eradicated by our immune system. Over 400 medical studies were done and are on record establishing that the medicinal mushroom extract of Coriolus Versicolor is the best immune booster available. It’s natural and safe with virtually no side effects. Many medical experts confirm this on the internet. It’s helping to restore the immune system for men and women going through serious health challenges like ongoing stress, trauma, all surgeries, pneumonia, cancer surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, which all to a great extent destroy the immune system at a time when it is needed most. A CBC TV-Documentary said that far more lives could be saved by preventing a disease than later treating people after they get sick, especially cancer. Unfortunately, this is what many people do. The narrator Wendy Mesley, who went through cancer treatment herself, emphasized that virtually nothing is done for prevention. There are so many health discoveries that are not getting through to the public nor to the health professional escept for synthetic drugs. People have to initiate change by educating themselves and requesting details from stores or public information on the internet. of public health care money for this natural product to support their medical doc- tors to raise the immune system while going through cancer treatment. The Lancet Medical Journal published a study in 1994 saying that clinical research has consistently demon- strated the ability of Coriolus Versicolor to double and triple survival rates for people going through surgery, chemo and radiation by strengthening their immune system. On our web site find endorsements, opinions and research data to backup the success rate by world-renowned medical experts. Coriolus Versicolor may increase within 30 days macrophage white blood cells, natural killer cells, Tand B cells count by as much as 300 per cent. Should be taken on an ongoing basis as a pre- ventive as it represents a small expense compared to an illness costing huge amount of money and suffering. Prevention could also reduce waiting times for treatments of sick people. On our web site you will find extensive medical studies.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 12, 2007 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Longhorn Custom Body Art is abuzz with the sounds of tattoo needles after re-opening its doors on Aug. 9. The Region of Durham’s health department closed the parlour, located at 12 Centre St. in Oshawa, on Aug. 1 after launching an inves- tigation into potential exposure to non-sterile equipment. It re-opened after passing a num- ber of tests on the previously malfunction- ing sterilizing equipment that had forced the closer. “It’s slower than usual, but there are cus- tomers coming in,” said Hugh Towie, owner of Longhorn, which has been in operation for the past 16 years. He explained the machine that caused the closure had three failed spore tests in the past 10 months and it has since been refurbished. Mr. Towie has been ordered to test the steril- izing equipment everyday for the next six days and send the results to the health depart- ment. Using the waiver forms clients filled out and provided by Mr. Towie, the Region is working to send letters to the between 1,500 and 2,000 who could have been affected. Although the health department does deem the risk low, it’s encouraging people who re- ceived services at Longhorn between Nov. 17, 2006 and Aug. 1, 2007, to call the health department and visit their family doctor or an urgent-care clinic. The use of non-sterile equipment could lead to transmission of dis- eases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. “I am concerned for the public safety and yeah, I encourage them to get tested,” Mr. Towie said. “But, it is deemed low risk and anyone that knows about sterilization knows that our piercing needles and tattoo needles are single use.” It’s the tattoo tubes and piercing tools, he went on to explain, that are sterilized and that is done with great care. “Before they even get to the (sterilizing equipment) they have to be scrubbed and washed and put into an ultrasonic machine for 15 minutes,” Mr. Towie said. Although Mr. Towie said he takes great care in the cleanliness of his shop, he said not all are so careful. “I am confident in my equipment... I wish all of these little fly-by-night shops were all so clean,” Mr. Towie said. “(The health depart- ment) is in these places once a year and I think they should be in once a month.” The Region’s manager of environmental health agrees that this is a perfect example of why tattoo and body art establishments need to be better regulated. It’s ever increasing in its popularity, tat- toos and body piecing, but according to Ross MacEachern, as the art form and the number of establishments that offer it grows, regula- tions governing them hasn’t kept pace. There are guidelines to deal with the tattoo and body piercing industry, but it is largely a self-regulated business. This situation, Mr. MacEachern said, high- lights a major gap in the current protocol the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care has. The fact that beauty and body art establish- ments are not regulated is a definite problem. “Food establishments have regulations, pools have regulations, but these places, that can lead to blood-borne illnesses, don’t,” Mr, MacEachern said. “It may be time to look at regulating them like we do restaurants.” The current protocol is from 1998 and Mr. MacEachern said it needs to be updated. Part of that protocol indicates tattoo parlours need to test sterilizing equipment on a monthly basis, but they don’t have to send those results to anyone. And if they fail there is no obliga- tion to report that failure. David Jenson, a communications represen- tative with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care confirmed that the industry is largely self regulated. He explained that tat- too parlours fall under the Personal Services Setting Protocol. Any establishment, from hair dressers to piecing parlours, fall under this protocol which lays out minimum inspection controls. He said it calls for annual visits by local health boards to ensure appropriate in- spection control measures are in place.

Cameron Acorn, Pierre Aragon, Randolph Brown and Robert Quinn, all identified by Durham police as having connections to the Bandidos outlaw biker gang, are charged with second-degree murder in the death of Shawn Douse. The 35-year-old Keswick man’s battered and burned remains were found in a field on Concession 7 in rural Pickering in December of 2005. Durham homicide cops have said Mr. Douse was killed elsewhere and his body dumped in Pickering, just across the York-Durham boundary. In the weeks leading up to the arrests in June of 2006, investigators searched the Kes- wick home of Jamie Flanz, a Bandidos mem- ber killed in the much-publicized slaughter of eight gang members near St. Thomas in the spring of 2006. Police say Mr. Douse’s murder is not con- nected to the gang killings. After their brief appearance in court in Whitby Friday Superior Court Justice Edwin Minden ordered all four men remanded in custody. One of the defendants, Mr. Quinn, told the judge he had just fired his lawyer and was making efforts to retain new counsel. The four accused men are scheduled to make another brief court appearance in late August, to confirm dates for pretrial proceed- ings scheduled for the fall.

Lights, camera, action as Ajax Film Circuit rolls again THE NEWS ADVERTISER, August 12, 2007 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com Pickering Cougars win prestigious USA Cup Team plays in two tournaments in Minnesota PICKERING — The Pickering Cougars boys’ under-13 regional premier soccer team came within a whisker of going 2-for-2 at a pres- tigious U.S. soccer tournament re- cently. The Cougars represented Canada and Pickering at the USA Cup tour- nament in Blaine, Minnesota that played host to 1,006 teams, includ- ing ones from Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Northern Ireland and Canada. The event was unique as it al- lowed teams to play in both its ‘weekend’ and ‘weekday’ tourna- ments. The Cougars played in both while in Minnesota. The Pickering under-13s domi- nated the ‘weekend’ tournament, winning the title while outscoring their opponents 29-1. In the final, the Cougars faced Jogo Bonito from Connecticut, scoring an impressive 4-0 shutout victory. Pickering faced Northern Lights United from Manitoba in the semi- finals. Manitoba proved to be a tough team, but the Cougars rose to the challenge en route to a 2-0 win. Early goals set the tone for Pick- ering’s decisive 7-1 victory over Minnesota’s New Hope Wings in the quarter-final contest. It was the only game where the Cougars sur- rendered a goal. In the preliminary round, Pickering won all of its games by big scores. They beat Stevens Point from Wisconsin 4-0, dominated Hopkins Dynamo Walleyes from Minnesota 6-0 and then trounced Elm Grove Fire from Wisconsin by the same 6-0 score. After a one-day break, the Cou- gars embarked on adding a second title in Minnesota at the ‘weekday’ tournament. Pickering advanced to the Schwann’s USA Cup champion- ship against a strong Mexican Cruz Azui squad. In a rough, physical final, the Mexicans broke out on top 3- 1 at half-time. After an inspiring half-time speech by the Pickering coaches, the Cougars took the field with a renewed focus and immedi- ately cut the deficit to one goal with 25 minutes to play. Despite having scoring chances, the Cougars fell short 3-2. Pickering scored a close 1-0 win over Bangu Tsunami Blue from Minnesota in the semifinals. In one of the Cougars’ best games in terms of ball control, Pickering took the ball to the net, but couldn’t finish on their chances. With five minutes to play, the Cougars finally broke through for the only goal of the game to put them into the final. The Cougars faced the Manitoba Northern Lights again in the quar- ter-final match. This was a unique experience as the game was played at the Blaine stadium facility and could be watched at home via the Internet. The playoff contest was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation time. The Cougars pressed in over- time and were rewarded with the winning goal in a 2-1 victory. A weary Pickering under-13s started ‘weekday’ play with a 3-1 loss to Clintonville, Northern Ire- land. After regrouping in their hotel room, the Cougars returned in the afternoon to obliterate Woodbury Arsenal 10-0. The Cougars faced Metro FC Rapids Premier from Ohio in Game 3, earning a 3-0 shutout. Pickering needed to win its final round-robin game against Galaxy Blue from Illinois to finish first in its division. With the game tied 2-2 late in the contest, Pickering scored for a 3-2 victory and first place in the division, thus earning a bye into the quarter-final. The Cougars currently hold down second place in the Central Soccer League’s under-13 regional premier division. Team members are Fraser Aird, Keishon Alcindor, Caylan Amburs- ley, Matthew Angelevski, Nicholas Axhorn, Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Myles Campbell, Bruce Cullen, Chris Funke, Jalen Griffiths, Justin Haywood, Daniel Massa, Raphael Reynolds, Shane Satar, Sean Smith and Rafiq Suleman.

This month, the 27-year- old is running from Sud- bury to Toronto -- about 600 km or 13 standard 42- km marathons -- to raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children. Mr. Coll, a Courtice resident and an industrial firefighter at Oshawa’s GM plant, says he’s wanted to do something to support sick kids, ever since the hos- pital helped one of his close friends. “About nine years ago I was in a serious car acci- dent with one of my friends and she was taken to sick Kids,” he recalls. “She was there for weeks and I was there with her the whole time... I saw the amazing work they do and now I want to give back and help them.” Mr. Coll set out from Sud- bury on Monday and hopes to finish his journey on Aug. 16 at the doors of the Hos- pital for Sick Children in To- ronto. He hopes to raise be- tween $8,000 and $10,000, which he will present to the hospital when he arrives next week. While he is used to run- ning in urban events like the Montreal Half Marathon and Run for the Cure, he wasn’t quite prepared for the surprises that running in rural areas would bring. This run has taken him through the rural areas along Hwy. 17 and Hwy. 11, and before the first day was over he came face to face with a black bear -- luckily it lumbered off without in- cident. “I’ve run marathons be- fore, but doing something like this on my own is re- ally different,” Mr. Coll said when he stopped to catch his breath on Tuesday. “It’s hard, but it’s worth it to take something I’m good at and use it to help others.” To make himself more visible, Mr. Coll has spray painted his running shoes yellow and tossed a couple extra pairs in the back win- dow of the car collecting do- nations behind him. As well as inviting dona- tions, Mr. Coll is inviting the public to run alongside him, even if just for a kilometre or two -- he’ll slow down to match the pace of any run- ning mates who join in.
