McLean By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Region of Durham has gone with the needs of the many, 45,000 drivers daily, over the needs of business owners along Brock Road by deciding to install a median on the stretch between Hwy. 401 and Bayly Street. Businesses along the stretch fought against the median, buoyed by support from local councillors Doug Dickerson and Bill McLean. At last week’s council meeting, however, councillors decided to go with the recommendation from Re- gional staff and install the median. After public meetings about the issue, the best deal Region staff could work out was installing the median with a break at Plummer Street with a traffic light there. Though the lights aren’t warranted by traffic volume, the Region of- fered to pick up the full cost of in- stalling them as opposed to asking the City of Pickering for a share. At a works committee meeting earlier this month, at least one business owner, Rob Dinsmore of Lev-co, said he would have to move should the median go in. Mr. Dinsmore gets deliveries with large pickup trucks and said the 53-foot trucks making deliver- ies to his company are too large to make right-hand turns. “The minute it goes in, we have to find another place to do busi- ness,” he said. Others would follow, said Coun. McLean. “I know there’s going to be busi- nesses that are going to be walking out of Pickering because of this median.” But Region staff say a traffic light at Plummer and a legal U-turn will take care of access to the majority of the businesses along the strip. As to the other business, it would be up to the property owners to build a common driveway that leads to the lights. While Coun. McLean questioned whether 87 accidents along the stretch of road in six years was a cause for concern, fellow Pickering Coun. Rick Johnson thought it was and sided with the Region’s recom- mendation. “It only takes one accident to lose a life, safety comes first,” he said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan also said he supported the staff rec- ommendation to err on the side of safety. HER GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Pickering’s Camryn Grant took part in the finals of the Guitar Hero competition at the Five Points Mall in Oshawa. Region will build median on Brock Road ✦ See Safety, Page 2 Greenpeace slams ‘bad decision’ for aging reactors By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Ontario Power Generation has re- ceived a five-year operating licence for the ‘B’ side of the Pickering nuclear station. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has ap- proved the five-year licence, which runs from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2013. OPG is “qualified to carry out the activities that will be permitted under the renewed licence and that it will make adequate provision for the protection of the environ- ment, the health and safety of persons, and the mainte- nance of national security and measures required to implement international ob- ligations to which Canada has agreed,” the CNSC stated in granting the five-year li- cence. The licence only deals with the continuing operation of the four ‘B’ side reactors, and doesn’t deal with the possible refurbishment of the units to extend their operating lifes- pan. OPG is conducting an environmental assessment and business case to deter- mine if the units could be re- furbished and operated until 2060. OPG’s board of directors will make a decision on the refurbishment by the end of the year. The CNSC will then decide if the work can be done. OPG officials are happy with the licence renewal. “We appreciate the recog- nition of Pickering ‘B’s record of safe maintenance and op- eration of our station during the current five-year licence period,” said Pierre Trem- blay, senior vice-president at Pickering. “We remain com- mitted to safety, continuous improvement and meeting all provisions of our licence.” It’s the second good news announcement of OPG in two weeks. On June 16, the provincial government selected OPG to operate two new nuclear reactors next to the Darling- ton station. Construction of those reactors should start in a couple of years and the units producing electricity by 2018. Greenpeace, however, slammed the five-year re- newal. “It’s a bad decision,” said Shawn Patrick Stensil, an en- ergy campaigner for Green- peace. “The four reactors at the Pickering nuclear station are aging and approaching the end of their operational lives. As reactors age, the risk of ac- cidents goes up.” At the May hearing in Ajax, Mr. Stensil said the CNSC should only approve a two- year operating licence for Pickering ‘B’. The proximity of the Pickering station to down- town Toronto means “regu- lators wouldn’t permit a nuclear station to be built at Pickering today. Of all the nuclear stations in Canada, Pickering requires special at- tention.” Come Partyon Our Patio!

Videotapes of the top three winners from the competition in Ajax will be sent on to celebrity judges to see if they will be chosen as one of the top 10 fi nalists from around the country to compete in the National Finals in the Imperial Room at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto this October. All 12 contestants displayed passion and heart as they took the stage. Star judges for the day were Dan Clancy, lead singer of the four-time Juno Award- winning group Lighthouse, Cathy McKay, Executive director of the Ajax Pickering Board of Trade and Carolyn Ellis from KX96’s Ellis and Archer morning show. Each contestant performed one song and received feedback from one of the judges. They sang, played guitar, piano, mandolin, harmonica and fi nished off with a moving performance by 93-year- old Leslie Siklos who played a beautiful classical piece on his violin. The crowd was excited and cheered on their favourites, raising hand-made signs among the sounds of hoots and hollers of support. After the performances were fi nished all the contestants lined up at the front of the room and awaited the judges’ diffi cult decision with anticipation. The Master of Ceremonies for the competition was Meredith Cutting a.k.a. ‘The Singing Policeman’ who is quite an entertainer in his own rite. Meredith played guitar and sang to the crowd as the judges deliberated. The third place winner was Lynda Elizabeth Meredith who sang a whimsical, light- hearted rendition of ‘Old Cape Cod’. The second place winner was Holly Kosta who had once sung with the Hamilton Opera. She played her mandolin and sang ‘Those were the Days’. Top spot went to Jack Foster who really got the crowd going. He played the guitar and the harmonica as he sang the Seniors Citizens shuffl e. He encouraged audience participation and had everyone clapping at the appropriate times during his song. It was clear that he was a true entertainer and worthy of top honours. Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT have many locations throughout Durham Region and Canada and are very dedicated to the seniors they serve. That was truly evident as residents were transported in buses, vans and cars and then escorted to their seats by caring staff to experience a wonderful day of entertainment and refreshments at the Senior Star competition. advertising feature durhamregion.comP PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2008 ‘Safety comes first’: Ryan Five-year licence for Pickering approved Coun. Johnson acknowl- edged it was a difficult situ- ation for Lev-co, but said the building was not intended to accommodate 53-foot trac- tor trailers. Region staff said it would prefer to do nothing to the road rather than to widen it to five or six lanes with a centre turn lane. Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis said that was bad design and would make the road substantially more dangerous. ✦ Safety from page 1 PICKERING — A teenager was sexually assaulted while walking home late Tuesday night. The 19-year-old woman was on Liverpool Road north of Kingston Road around 11:45 p.m. June 24, when a man started walking behind her, says a Durham Regional Police report. He ran up to her and struck up a brief conversa- tion before grabbing her by the waist, putting his hand over her mouth, and lead- ing her to a secluded area near a building where he sexually assaulted her. The man is described as white, unshaven with curly brown hair, in his early twenties, five-foot-five- inches to six-feet tall, with a medium build. He was wearing a grey- hooded sweatshirt and baggy jeans. Anyone with information can contact the Durham Regional Police’s Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5323. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477 and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Woman sexually assaulted Wise choices lead to less energy and water usage By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX — Little changes can lead to big savings when it comes to energy, a project comparing energy-efficient homes to others in Ajax has revealed. Through the project, 185 new Tribute Communi- ties homes at Audley and Taunton roads were tracked. Of those, 90 were equipped with energy-efficient up- grades. The difference, say Durham Region officials, was extraordinary. Homes in the Water and Energy Efficient Demon- stration Community used an average of 22.5 per cent less water, about 132 litres per day per household, 12 per cent less electricity and nine per cent less natural gas. This means on average, each household was reduc- ing its carbon dioxide out- put by 1.19 tonnes per year. At a recent works com- mittee meeting, works com- missioner Cliff Curtis said the Region was pleasantly surprised by the numbers. “We knew there would be savings, but this is extraor- dinary,” he said. The project was funded by the Region to the tune of $175,000, by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which matched Durham’s funding, and by the minis- try of natural resources with a $75,000 contribution. Buyers purchasing new homes were given the op- tion of choosing an ener- gy-efficiency package or a package of other free build- er upgrades. Those who chose the for- mer got a drought-tolerant front garden, water-saving toilets and shower heads and ENERGY STAR appli- ances. The homes were monitored between Sep- tember 2006 and Septem- ber 2007. The results were better than predicted, said Glen Pleasance, water efficiency co-ordinator for the Region, and he attributes it to ad- ditional personal choices by the residents to conserve energy and water. “What it leads us to be- lieve is that once you make significant green decisions such as choosing that pack- age, it leads to seeing your- self as green and enabling you to make subsequently green decisions and ac- tions.” Water efficiency could save a growing Durham big bucks if the Region doesn’t have to build water and sewer infrastructure at the rate that Durham grows, Mr. Pleasance said. “If you don’t have to build in lock step with popula- tion (growth), you’re not expending those hundreds of millions of dollars at the same rate,” he said. Armed with the data from the study, the Region will now look at raising its standards for builders to include things like energy- efficient toilets and shower heads, said Mr. Pleasance. The Region estimates the cost of the upgrades in the demonstration community would be paid back in ener- gy and water savings within 3.4 years. “You could switch the shower head. It would be better than what the builder uses and the homeowner wouldn’t know the differ- ence until they see their gas and water bill,” he said. =<32/G=<:G ;=<2/G8C<3!

Canada Day fun at Pickering church includes face painting, food, and games Follow Fire Marshal’s tips to make sure your event is safe By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Turn the subject to fireworks and Peter Hoekstra’s voice gets animated, his excitement palpable. When the weather gets warm it means it’s fireworks season for Mr. Hoekstra, who sells the seasonal crackers out of three trailers in Durham. He said it all started from a fascination with the burning lights when he was a child. After high school, Mr. Hoekstra decided against being a pyrotechnician because he said it is a lonely life full of constant travel- ling, so, for most of the year, he operates a sign company. But every summer he sets up the trailers and it’s back to his old flame. He said his favourite part is when custom- ers come back and tell him they loved the stuff he sold them the year before. “They say ‘the stuff you sold me last year was phenomenal’ and they have a list of product they want again,” he said. Despite safety warnings from the Ontario Fire Marshal and a bevy of options to watch the pros put on the show at public displays, Mr. Hoekstra said business is excellent. He said the goal with fireworks trailers is always to sell out since the product is useless come July 2. Last year he said they came very close to that, selling about 16,000 items be- tween his sites in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Whitby. The top seller last year was the menace, an exploding spectacle that fills the sky, said Mr. Hoekstra. The firecracker emits chrysan- themum and crown-shaped fire into the sky. Mr. Hoekstra said he expects the mummy’s curse to be popular this year. He said it will “get you giggling” as it fires a bevy of light in different shapes and colours that light up the sky. And of course there are the old favourites. He said the burning schoolhouse is still pop- ular among amateurs who put on shows. “It’s a novelty,” he said. “It does bugger all but it’s a rite of passage.” How to stay safe around fireworks Fire service does not recommend fam- ily fireworks or informal neighbourhood displays. It recommends attending displays hosted by a responsible organization. If you still choose to have a family fire- works or an informal neighbourhood dis- play, check with your local fire department about regulations regarding fireworks and follow these safety tips: • Appoint a responsible person to be in charge • Follow the directions on fireworks • Always keep water close by • Discharge fireworks well away from build- ings, trees and dry grass • Keep a safe distance and stay upwind from where fireworks are discharged • Light one firework at a time and only when they are on the ground. Never try to light a firework in your hand or re-light dud fire- works • For dud fireworks, wait 30 minutes and soak them in water than dispose in a metal container • Discharge fireworks if wind conditions do not create a safety hazard • Keep sparklers away from children. Spar- klers burn extremely hot and can ignite clothing, cause blindness and result in se- vere burns. As the sparkler wire remains hot for some minutes after burnout, it should be immediately soaked in water to avoid injury • For burns: run cool water over the wound for three to five minutes and seek medical attention, if necessary -- From the office of the Ontario Fire Marshal FINAL DAY SUNDAY JUNE 29 11AM-4PM ?FC@;8P?FLIJ1 01''X%d%Æ01''g%d%Ale\)+k_$Alcp(jk /PX "WBJMBCMF BUBMM 550---------------------5505000''"--450$, ''3 &&&,00.0000"#0 (((('54 00000 373 7 6"6&'3'''''''''''33 &&33&&&&&&&&&&&3 &&&&33333333&&&&&&&&33333''333&3&&&&&&&&&,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,......0000000000#0#00"".00000000000##000000#0#0#0##"""",,,,,""..........00000000000000000..,,,,,,,,,,,,,""""""""""""""""###"""""""","""""",,,,"""""""#"""#0000#00000....(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((44444455455544'5'5''5'5**45'***4*4444('555454 00000000000000000000000 33777777007777&333333&&3&333&&3333333333377777777777777707777777&&3 777777777 6666""&-"66 &&666---"""&-""&&7"""""""7"7"""-6-&'''''33&&&&33&&3 &&333&&333'33&&&'3&&,"#00.(*'5407&37"-6&'3&& \TafXcWE 8 ??? bXV]d_P]S\X]X\d\>]T_TaRdbc^^\ $\PhQT^UUTaTS cdcX^]b\aZb?daRWPbT BdQbcXcf^affTf5XaT BD?4AB>=821>><%6;0BB4B1><1106;867C8=6BC82: $$$$4%""/" '''''''',43&803,444 444 $063$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$444"4"µ4"44""%""//""/""""""%%%""$"""""""""""""""""""""""""""%"%"%"444"////""44""""""$"""""""/"""//"""%"%""%%""444444 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''8&&44333333333&,4,,4,,,,,,,,,,,,440000000033333333384,,,3300808088&8&8833 44488888888880000444,,,,3,333000 44''''''33333333&&&3&888888888&88000000033303,33,,3,,4,,444 4444444444444444444444444 &&$$$$$$$&&$$$3366060600000000006666666663333300003$33$$0000 $40000066660033333$3$3$$$&$$$&$& $"/"%"µ4 '*3&803,44063$& FJ?8N8 (-B`e^Jki\\kN% :cfj\[:XeX[X;Xp#Alcp(jk $"/"%"%":'3&8 03,4$$$$$$$$$$$$""%"%"%""""""""""//""""""""%///%%"""""""""%"""///"""""""""///$"/"%%"%%%%%%%%:::::":":":""""""""":::%"":":'''''33333**&***&&3*333 &&'3 &8888888888888888888888 44444 444,4,,330000003,33,0 4,4,400,3 ,33000,,,8 0 3 ,,4$"/"%"%":'*3&803,4 [?aXRTbV bcTSAAT]Vb^]BdVBBB ccSBBPeX]Vb^]BdVVTbcTSATcPX[?aXRTb>9d[h 5XaTTf^aZbBP[Tb>UUTTa4]9 h B a SU5XaTf^aZbBP[Tb>UUTa4]S9d[h 8A8O$;li_XdI\^`feXc:\eki\ J:8I9FIFL>?$B\ee\[p:fddfej N?@K9P$*'9ifX[c\X]8m\% :<EKI8CKFIFEKF$)')CX`i[;i`m\ KFIFEKFN<JK$EFIK?PFIB$(0)9i`[^\cXe[8m\el\ DLJBFB89FLE;$?@>?N8P((Efik_Yfle[1 Efik_f]9Xii`\#()bdJflk_f]Fi`cc`X#aljkX]k\iFifC`e\(' J:8I9FIFL>?<8JK$:\[Xi?\`^_kjGcXqX#-)0DXib_XdI[% J:8I9FIFL>?N<JK$N\o]fi[?\`^_kjGcXqX#)'./CXni\eZ\8m\<%,"#00.

After she kissed little Mack- enzie, Ms. Robertson’s lips would taste salty. This factor and other symptoms including a per- sistent cough told the Rob- ertsons that something was wrong with Mackenzie. Ms. Robertson and her husband Martin took their son in for testing and after months of waiting the diagnosis was he had cystic fibrosis. At first the couple were very emotional and had feelings of denial. “In the back of our minds we just kept thinking it’s not really going to happen to me,” Mr. Robertson said. CF is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system, but can also cause other organ prob- lems. In the lungs this trans- lates into a thick mucus that makes breathing difficult. In the digestive tract it means it is difficult for CF patients to get sufficient nutrients from food. About one in 25 Canadians carries a defective version of the gene responsible for CF. When two people who carry a defective gene have a child, there is a 25 per cent chance the child will be born with cystic fibrosis, the Canadian CF Foundation said. Mr. and Ms. Robertson are both carriers of the disease. Since April of this year, all babies born in Ontario have to be screened for CF. When Mackenzie’s little brother Cooper was born a few months ago the family knew right away that he wasn’t going to suffer from the same disease as his brother. Every morning before breakfast and every evening before dinner Mackenzie, now two years old, knows it is time for “pat-pats,” the family’s name for percussion therapy. The treatment consists of mom or dad tapping on Mackenzie’s back and sides vigorously to try to loosen the mucus in his lungs. The process takes 45 min- utes in the evening because Mackenzie uses an air cham- ber before percussion thera- py. In the morning, the treat- ment is half an hour without the air chamber. The time allocated to the treatment is like adding a work commute on to the day, Mr. Robertson said. The therapy is tedious, Mrs. Robertson said, but it has be- come part of the family’s daily routine. “We just have the mindset that it has to be done and it’s not an option,” she said. Mackenzie takes about 15 pills a day to help with the digestive problems. Since he is too young to swallow them whole, Mackenzie eats the pills in a spoonful of apple- sauce before each meal. The dosage will increase with age. The Robertsons are in- volved with the Durham chapter of the Canadian Cys- tic Fibrosis Foundation to help raise money for other families dealing with the ex- pense of medication to treat CF. Medication can cost more than $800 per month, Mr. Robertson said. The cash raised also goes to help find better treatments for the dis- ease. source.comwedding Fall 2008 Durham’s Wedding Professionals are at the Ajax/Pickering News Advertiser Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008 11:00 am – 5:00 pm Ajax Convention Centre Ajax Convention Centre at the Hilton Garden Inn 500 Beck Cres., just off Salem Road exit from the 401, Ajax Featuring: bridal gowns, tuxedos, bridesmaid dresses, & mother of the bride dresses Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008 12 Noon & 3:00 pm 2 Fashion Shows Check us out online durhamweddingsource.com and click the video portion to view past shows.

The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowners needed to be educated on how to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period. Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a realtor, know the right questions to ask to save you time and money.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2008 durhamregion.com Councillors showed open mind in going to Halifax To the editor: What a refreshing outlook from Regional councillors April Cullen and Bonnie Littley. They went to Halifax to see with their own eyes and, most importantly with an open mind, the environmentally benign and cost-effective waste disposal methods being practised there. Contrary to some of their colleagues, they did not expect to find (and did not find) seagulls around in order to come up with an excuse to reject the concept. They correctly looked at the “Big Picture,” particularly the environmental footprint and health impact. That the plant was not in operation at the time of their visit is irrelevant as they did not need noisy machines in order to properly address their concerns. Is it too much to ask that their Regional colleagues demonstrate a similar open- mindedness? Paul-André Larose Oshawa T he boys are away. My kids have been shipped off for eight days of fun, laughter and learning at the Dur- ham Integrated Arts Camp. My wife and I couldn’t be happier for them. They will have the time of their lives and will come back different people in many wonderful ways. The little rats. What about us? What’s to become of their parents? After the illusory, grown-up, we-have- the-house-to-ourselves gourmet dinner and its attendant obligatory romance, we now find ourselves at loose ends. The place is so quiet. There’s no one to yell at, no one to pester us with questions, no one to drive anyplace. I’m not sure if the com- puter works anymore . . . no one’s been glued to it for the last week. And there’s no laundry! This last item has my wife walking around in a daze. For the past 16 years, daily laundry has become a part of her DNA. And now, all of a sudden, nothing. She herself produces very little laundry and I, like most men, will happily wear the same socks and underwear for weeks. I don’t know if you’ve been through this, but it’s very difficult to watch someone going cold turkey off laundry. I’ll catch her standing in front of the silent washer and dryer, eyes glazed, murmuring something about “turning socks inside out” or “Why can’t they take the notes out of their pock- ets?” I have to be very careful at times like these. I have to take her by the shoulders and gently guide her to a martini. It’s amazing how much time and thought we daily invest in our children. They are hundreds of kilometres away and still I find myself thinking about them constantly. The conversation between a husband and wife in a home newly void of children is rarely, if ever, “Hurry darling we’ll be late for Spanish class” or “Dash it all, sweetheart I’m fresh out of hedge green and I’m so close to finish- ing this landscape,” or even “Wanna go upstairs and fool around?’ It is, and trust me I’ve heard these words coming out of my mouth even while we were heading up said stairs, ‘What do you think they’re doing now?” “I hope they’re having fun,” and “I won- der if it’s raining where they are?” I’m sure it was only through the utmost regard for the other person’s feelings that one of us didn’t blurt out any of these while we were fooling around. Pathetic? Perhaps, but there’s no getting away from it. When your children leave, even for a little while, they take a big chunk of you with them. If they stay away long enough, you even- tually get those pieces of yourself back. You begin to remember that you married that person across the dinner table for a few reasons other than making those chil- dren and, the two of you, hopefully start enjoying a new, exciting segment of your life together. We’re a ways away from it, I hope, but I’m beginning to realize the transition of releasing our children out of our lives may be every bit as exhausting as the transition of bringing them into our lives. But maybe, just maybe, like when our children come back from camp, when we, as parents, return to each other after the adventure of parenting, we too will be different in many wonderful ways. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Empty house leaves us thinking only about the boys It’s time to celebrate our right to live free O ne great thing about living in this magnificent country of ours is that we enjoy a standard of living and freedoms almost unmatched across the globe. As we celebrate our 141st birthday on Tuesday, it’s worth noting how lucky we are. Canada Day is the perfect time to count our collective blessings and give thanks for the privilege we have of living here. It’s not too difficult to find marked con- trasts to our country. Just take a look at the international news for a quick comparison. Whether it be nat- ural disasters or man-made ones, Canada is almost never hit by catastrophe. Around the globe we can find ready examples of dictators gone wild, end- less wars causing bloodshed and death and economic systems completely out of whack. We never take much time to think of these things beyond a cursory glance at the newspaper or at our television or computer screens. But any comparison of Canada with hundreds of other countries around the world, puts us near the very top. And we should be proud of that and celebrate it. It’s worth considering the rights and freedoms we possess in our society and the progress we’ve made over nearly a cen- tury-and-a-half of nationhood. As we are doing right now in Afghani- stan, Canadians have never been shy about fighting when freedom is at stake. We have participation on an unprecedent- ed per capita scale -- nobody sent more of its population into battle than Canada -- in two world wars. And from Vimy Ridge to D-Day, Canadian troops shone on the battlefield, leading the way to success for freedom-loving peoples. Through decades of peacekeeping mis- sions around the world to our central role in the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan, Canadians have been there giving it every- thing we have. And we’re constantly working to make this country a better place to come to live and work for immigrants from across the world. Take some time on Canada Day to reflect on your country and appreciate what you have. Many people across the world would dearly love to trade places with you.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 29, 2008 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com Over 20 million Canadians suffer from psychological disorders like de- pression, anxiety, panic attacks, ex- cessive worry, specifi c phobias and post-traumatic stress. Problem is, Canadians who might benefi t profoundly from psychother- apy—a.k.a. “talk” therapy—aren’t even considering it. Yet, evidence from brain imaging research sug- gests that one form of talk therapy known as Cognitive Behaviour Ther- apy, or CBT, produces changes in the brain similar to those produced by anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medications. CBT emphasizes the idea that our thoughts (cognitions) affect how we feel (emotions). Treatment lasts an average of 16 sessions (includes “homework”), and involves chang- ing negative patterns of thinking— and behaving—using slow, gradual steps. “CBT involves active collabora- tion between patient and thera- pist,” says Dr. Direnfeld, a registered psychologist who’s been practicing CBT since the early ’90s, and who is now the clinical director of the Cen- tre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “In many cases, patients are quick to make worst-case-scenario assumptions, even when those as- sumptions are irrational and unwar- ranted,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. “My role is to use real-world evidence to help patients become more rational in their assessment of diffi cult situa- tions, which then has a remarkable trickle-down effect.” Like medication, CBT has been shown to impact the brain in ways that are scientifi cally measurable. Take Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, characterized by anxious thoughts and repetitive behaviours that are meant to reduce the anxiety. In a study that compared CBT to Prozac, changes in the brain were essential- ly identical. Dr. Direnfeld warns, however, that a crucial element of CBT is a pa- tient’s motivation to change. Pa- tients must believe, unquestionably, that change is achievable. “When my patients—even those who have suffered for years or de- cades—understand that they can change their life, it’s like an epipha- ny,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “All of a sudden, life holds exciting new prospects for the future.” For more information about CBT or the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, call 905-427-4007 or email info@ccbt.ca. Let’s Talk About “Talk” Therapy (NC)-With a little planning, school and work lunches can be healthy and nutritious to keep you and your family going throughout the day. “Making healthy choices doesn’t mean you have to give up your favourite foods,” says Patti Payne, senior advisor of prevention at the Cana- dian Cancer Society, Ontario Division. “The key to eating well and maintaining a healthy weight is to focus on what adds value to your meals, not what you take away.” Research shows that 30 to 35 per cent of all cancers can be prevented by eating well, be- ing active and staying at a healthy body weight. More information is available from the Canadian Cancer Society Cancer Information Service at www.cancer.ca. And, the next time you’re packing the family’s lunch bags, try one of these ideas: • Add sliced tomatoes, shredded carrots, cucumbers or dark leafy greens to a plain sandwich. • Stuff a whole wheat pita pocket with apple slices, low-fat shredded cheese and romaine lettuce. • Make tuna or egg salad sandwiches health- ier by adding 125 mL (1/2 cup) of shredded carrots or fi nely chopped red or green pep- pers to the mixtures. • Try barley, lentil or pea soup or chili for a high fi bre lunch. • Spread hummus instead of mayonnaise on a sandwich. • Balance the meal with raw vegetables on the side, fruit or low-fat yogurt for dessert. • Skip the pop and drink water.

CARPENTER 7 8 9 10 St. Bernadette to cost $9.7 million DURHAM — The lowest bidder gets the job of building an Ajax Catholic replace- ment school. With a $9.7 million tender, Aquicon Construction was awarded the tender for St. Bernadette elementary school in Ajax during the June 23 Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board meeting. Aquicon’s $9.69 million bid, plus GST, is subject to the issuance of a building per- mit. The highest tender submitted was for $10.64 million by Tasis Contractors. “Are any of these unionized?” asked Kathy LeFort, Brock/Scugog/Uxbridge trustee. “The contractor is unionized,” said Tim Robins, assistant superintendent, fa- cilities services. He’ll follow up on if the subcontractors are. “I’ve asked that for years,” Trustee Le- Fort said afterwards, regarding her ques- tion on unionization. “I have a strong comfort level with work that is done by unionized labour groups.” Unionized companies have a strong focus on safety as well as high quality workmanship, she said, and added, that’s not to say that non-unionized groups don’t. The St. Bernadette project is funded through the Ministry of Education’s pro- hibitive to repair capital program. Ajax elementary replacement school gets a builder Ajax Rotary Park.

So, to go off to university to focus solely on academics and leave swimming behind wasn’t some- thing the 18-year-old Pickering resident was willing to contem- plate. In the fall, Cernele will continue competitive swimming, while also studying kinesiology, as part of Hamilton’s McMaster University men’s swim team. After attending a tryout at the university last November, he rec- ognized pool work and school work could co-exist nicely. “(McMaster) has a good kine- siology program and that’s what I wanted to get into,” he said in a recent interview poolside at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “I went down last November and ev- eryone on the (swim) team is nice and it seems like a good group of people. I got to know them really fast. “I definitely wanted to attend school over swimming, but Mc- Master allows that (to do both). I definitely wanted to keep swim- ming.” Cernele looks forward to com- peting for McMaster under head coach Andrew Cole while swim- ming against other university teams in the province. “I’m very excited; I can’t wait. (University swimming) is not the same as club swimming, it’s more team orient- ed and I enjoy the team aspect of it.” The St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School grad says he’s prepared to swim any distance or any event for McMas- ter, noting he’s an all-rounder in the pool, although he hopes to compete in the 200-metre indi- vidual medley at the university. “I’m open to anything; whatever they need me to swim,” he said. Cernele notes success in the pool didn’t come until relatively late in his competitive swimming career at the Pickering Swim Club. He didn’t qualify for the provin- cials until he was 13. But, once he got the first taste of provincial success, he went on to swim at the provincials seven times -- four in long course (50-metre pool) and three in short course (25-metre pool) -- in his 10 years at the club. In addition to the provincials, Cernele also qualified for the Eastern Nationals at Etobicoke’s Olympium pool in February where he faced many of the top senior swimmers in the country. While he may be moving on to university, Cernele says he still plans to return to the Pickering Swim Club to train in the off- school months with long-time coach and PSC head coach Lucie Hewitt-Henderson. He credits Hewitt-Henderson for his growth as a competitive swimmer. “The coaching there has been awesome. Lucie has been so moti- vating and inspiring. For me, she’s the perfect coach.” In addition to club swimming in Pickering, Cernele also com- peted on the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School swim team this year. He helped capture gold for St. Mary at the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) and Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships while competing with teammates Jose Baylon, Mi- chael Foster and Josh Elsier in the 200-metre medley relay event, setting a new record for the event at OFSAA. While attending McMaster, he hopes he can help the swim team capture an OUA (Ontario Univer- sity Athletics) championship dur- ing his time at the campus. “I think it would be cool to help them win a OUA title. I would like to win that for McMaster.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Jeff Cernele of the Pickering Swim Club will compete for the McMaster University men’s swim team while attending the Hamilton-based school. ‘I definitely wanted to keep swimming (while attending university).’ — JEFF CERNELE Ridgebacks accepted into CIS UOIT becomes 52nd member of national sports association DURHAM — The Ridgebacks’ bark will now be heard coast to coast. Canadian Interuniversity Sport accepted the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s applica- tion for membership at the CIS an- nual general meeting in Ottawa, making UOIT the 52nd member of the national association. “Today was a momen- tous and historic day for UOIT,” athletic director Ken Babcock said immediately after the CIS delegates voted unanimously to accept UOIT. “The Ridgebacks are now able to compete at the national level and we look forward to challenging with the best of the best that Cana- dian universities have to offer.” UOIT’s bid application, which was the culmination of two years of planning and preparing, was ex- tremely well received by the CIS membership. CIS board members visited UOIT as part of the process and were very impressed with the campus as a whole, athletic facili- ties, residences and the programs that the university has to offer. “I am very proud and pleased with our successful membership approval after all of the time and hard work that was put into mak- ing this all come together,” Babcock said. “This successful outcome now provides UOIT student-athletes with tremendous opportunities at the national level.” UOIT entered Ontario Univer- sity Athletics competition in 2006, participating in tennis and row- ing during their inaugural season. Men’s and women’s hockey was in- troduced last season, making a big splash on the UOIT campus and in the community. There are many long range plans of additional sports to be added to the Ridgebacks’ lineup. New sports will be determined by student input and the availability/expansion of facilities in the years to come. “Our goal will be to continue to attract the best staff, coaches and students to UOIT who strive for the common goal of excellence,” Bab- cock said.
