PICKERING ––Rosebank Road Public School principal Bill Campbell set the
cheerful tone for Halloween Day at the school Thursday, dressed colourfully to
mark the annual event. He led a parade of students through the school and around
the neighbourhood.
PICKERING —A faulty
coil on a Fibreglas holding tank
is being blamed for a small fire
Thursday at the Pickering Nu-
clear Generating Station.
Firefighters were called to
the station’s water treatment
plant at around 1:07 p.m. after
a coil near the top of the hold-
ing tank overheated, sparking
the fire, said Pickering Fire
Services Deputy Chief Mark
Diotte.
“It wasn’t a large fire but
there was a lot of black smoke
because of the resins in Fibre-
glas,” he said. “We knocked it
down pretty quickly.”
“Our emergency personnel
responded and put the fire out
with Pickering fire. There was
no threat to the safety of the
plant. There was no safety con-
cern at all,” added Pat O’Brien,
public affairs manager at Pick-
ering.

Pickering
flea market
Durham committee approves
site rezoning, demolition appears
likely in February
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Another nail has been hammered in
the coffin of the flea market at the Metro East Trade
Centre.
Durham council’s planning committee approved a
rezoning Tuesday to pave the way for a Sobey’s food
store and other commercial uses on the property, lo-
cated on Brock Road between highways 401 and 2.
First Pro Shopping Centre wants to redevelop the
site and that includes removing the existing trade cen-
tre, home of the Pickering Markets for more than a
decade.
The planning committee deferred the matter in
early October to give First Pro and the vendors a
chance to try and reach some sort of arrangement.
Demolition of the centre is set to begin in February
but a possible new home for the flea market won’t be
built until the fall of next year.
Some market vendors fear the permanent loss of
customers caused by the delay of moving to a new lo-
cation. Invar Building Corporation proposes con-
struction at the southwest corner of Bayly Street and
Squires Beach Road to house the vendors.
“We have to be out by the end of January,” Verdun
Wood, a flea market merchant, told the committee.
“You can’t just close a shop and move miles away
and expect people to just come. It doesn’t work.”
“The Pickering Markets is very important,” added
Arley Karpman, a lawyer representing some of the
vendors. “It’s part of our community’s heritage and
it’s worth saving. If First Pro wanted to save our mar-
ket, they could.”

DURHAM ––The Durham
Children’s Aid Society and the
union representing its workers are
close to a deal.
The sides met
with a mediator
overnight
Wednesday and
signed a tentative
agreement at 9:30
a.m. Thursday.
This was the sec-
ond round of
talks for manage-
ment and CUPE
Local 3223, the
union represent-
ing approximate-
ly 230 employees
at Durham CAS,
including full-
time and part-
time child protec-
tion workers,
child and youth
workers, support
and maintenance
staff and public
health nurses.
“We are ex-
tremely pleased
that we have
reached a mutual-
ly beneficial so-
lution,” says Jim
Dubray, execu-
tive director of
Durham CAS.
“This is great
news, not only
for all our staff,
but most impor-
tantly, for the
children we serve
and families who
depend on us.”
The parties
were in a legal
strike/lockout po-
sition as of Oct.
26. They have
been negotiating
since February. A
pleased but tired
CUPE Local
3223 president Mary Anne
Lesniewski said Thursday she
hoped the deal would be ratified
before the weekend.
Wo rkload was the most signifi-
cant issue on the table. According
to management, the agreement ad-
dresses that issue, along with
salary and benefits.
Had workers walked off the job,
management was prepared to per-
form the services normally provid-
ed by its employees, including
handling incoming referrals, carry-
ing out investigations, providing
access visits and monitoring foster
care, according to the executive di-
rector.
The last strike at Durham CAS
was in 1999.

Staff Writer
DURHAM —A self-
described “team-builder”
is the Durham Catholic
District School Board’s
award of merit recipient
for 2001/02.
Mike Powers, princi-
pal of Monsignor John
Pereyma Catholic Sec-
ondary School in Os-
hawa, was the choice of
the board’s award of
merit committee, headed
by Whitby Trustee Scott
Murdock, who said the
board received two nomi-
nations for the adminis-
trator.
“They were glowing
about his impact on the
school, the Catholic sys-
tem and his approach to
coaching,” Trustee Mur-
dock said in an interview.
Mr. Powers earlier this
year said ‘No’ when gay
student Marc Hall asked
permission to bring his
boyfriend as his date to
the Pereyma prom. His
position was that allow-
ing the couple to attend
would signal to students
his, the school’s and the
school board’s approval
of conduct contrary to
Catholic Church teach-
ings.
In a now-famous deci-
sion, which the board is
challenging, Ontario Su-
perior Court Justice
Robert MacKinnon on
prom day ordered Mr.
Powers and the board to
permit the couple to at-
tend together.
However, Trustee
Murdock said Mr. Pow-
ers’ stance, supported by
the board and local Bish-
op Anthony Meagher, had
noting to do with the
award.
Mr. Powers said in an
interview he was “sur-
prised” and “incredibly
humbled” by the award,
but honestly doesn’t
know if his conduct in the
Hall situation contributed
to his winning the award.
When board chairman
Mary Ann Martin called
to let him know he had
won, Mr. Powers said she
told him it was for his
contribution to Catholic
education over his whole
career.
He began teaching in
1975 at the former Os-
hawa Catholic High
School, now Monsignor
Paul Dwyer Catholic
High School, and for 15
years was a football/bas-
ketball coach there, gen-
erally coaching boys. His
teams in the 1980s won
three LOSSA football ti-
tles and a junior boys’
basketball crown.
“It’s probably the
thing I enjoyed the most,”
said Mr. Powers of coach-
ing. “It’s just to take such
a diverse group of young
men and mould them into
a team.”
When teachers with-
drew from extracurricular
activities, Mr. Powers
spearheaded an intramur-
al program at the school
that he ran with a student
committee.
After a long stint at
Dwyer, he worked at the
Catholic board office for
two years as a secondary
school consultant, was
vice-principal at St. Mary
Catholic Secondary
School in Pickering for
four years, and then re-
turned to Dwyer, first as
vice-principal. He has
been Pereyma’s principal
for four-and-a-half years.
Mr. Powers is retiring
in the next year, and said
the Marc Hall controver-
sy made for a “stressful
ending to my career”.
However, he’s also look-
ing back much further, to
his first days in front of a
class, when he was ner-
vous and excited at the
same time.
“I think I’ve been very
blessed with the young
people, that they’ve al-
lowed me to share their
lives with them,” he said,
noting, “there’s nothing
better than working with
young people.”
Also nominated for the
award were: Julia Brady,
chaplain at All Saints
Catholic Secondary
School in Whitby; Dave
Cooper, a teacher at Fa-
ther Leo J. Austin
Catholic Secondary
School in Whitby; Brian
Hughes, former principal
of Notre Dame Catholic
Secondary School in
Ajax, Ryan Sergeant, a
co-op student at Austin,
and Lou Suszek, a secre-
tary at St. Christopher
Catholic School in Os-
hawa.

Pickering flea market supporters speak out at committee
The flea market attracts about 1.5
million people annually, Mr. Wood
said, noting some come from as far
away as Timmins.
“What does Pickering have for
tourist attractions? It has the nuclear
station and flea market and you’re
going to throw one away that brings
1.5 million people, who bring cash.”
Mr. Wood stated.
Ornella Richichi, director of land
development for First Pro, said demo-
lition of the building has to begin by
February and the facility vacated by
January. “Those timelines won’t
change,” she said.
Her company looked for another lo-
cation for the flea market but couldn’t
find one, and the Invar plan is “going
forward. Pickering council supported
the (First Pro site) rezoning. We
had two or three open houses
and two residents of Pickering
came out and they didn’t object.
“First Pro has a commitment
to the tenants for next year. We
have to start construction to
meet our timelines. We’re anx-
ious to proceed. The site has
been under utilized for years.
We ’r e anxious to provide ser-
vices to Pickering and the re-
gion.”
Durham council votes on the
matter when it meets Nov. 13.

Police probe music store theft
PICKERING ––The Durham Re-
gional Police holdup squad is investi-
gating after a man brandishing a knife
robbed a music store Wednesday.
At about 10:45 a.m. a lone masked
bandit, possibly armed with a butcher
knife, entered Déjà vu Discs, at 650
Kingston Rd.
The robber demanded the 32-year-
old employee hand over money and
the victim complied, police said.
The suspect fled eastbound on
foot.
He was described as black, in his
early 20s, 6-foot-1, 180 pounds,
wearing a black mask covering his
lower face, a purple jacket and black
pants.
Tot
taped up
in home
invasion
PICKERING
–– A gang of
“ruthless” gun-
men duct-taped a
two-year-old
child’s mouth and
tied up his mother
during an early
morning home in-
vasion robbery.
Durham Re-
gional Police said
at least four men,
all armed with
guns, barged into
the Fieldlight
Boulevard resi-
dence at about 1
a.m. Thursday,
after a 41-year-
old man answered
a knock at his
door to someone
he recognized.
The man was
pushed down and
a gun was held to
his head, while
his 22-year-old
wife was bound
with duct tape.
Their young son’s
mouth was taped.
Police said the
bandits ransacked
the house taking
money, jewellery
and credit cards.
They made their
getaway in two
vehicles parked
out front.
None of the
victims was in-
jured and a search
by police failed to
turn up any sus-
pects.
One of the sus-
pect vehicles was
possibly a Honda
or Acura, the
other a grey
hatchback. Inves-
tigation is contin-
uing.

‘Bullies’arrested following crime spree
Tw enty-two youths face
total of 120 charges
DURHAM ––Police have laid
more than 120 charges against 22 al-
leged “bullies” believed to be behind
a spree of street robberies in Ajax-
Pickering.
The accused, ranging in age from
13 to 18, face charges including rob-
bery, assault, forcible confinement
and weapons possession, said
Durham Regional Police, adding de-
tectives have solved at least 17 recent
attacks. A task force made up
of several investigators began
an intensive probe after the
number of swarmings and rob-
beries surged in both munici-
palities.
Most attacks occurred in
parks and on the street and
were committed by groups of
youths –– often armed with
knives or guns –– on victims
targeted at random.
Sergeant Paul Malik, police
spokesman, said victims were
“threatened or bullied,” robbed
of cash or property, and some-
times beaten by gangs of
youths.
Sgt. Malik said the investiga-
tion is still continuing and
added police plan to “follow up
on those (accused) released
with stringent conditions of
bail.”
Anyone with information
about a local street robbery is
asked to call Detective
Sergeant Peter Naumienko at
905-683-9100, ext. 2511 or
Detective Keith Kritzer, ext.
2593 of the Ajax Pickering
Community Police Office
Criminal Investigation Branch.
Or, area residents can call
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-
8477.
DURHAM ––Tw o men –– one
on probation, the other on parole ––
are charged after police seized
$8,000 worth of pot during a routine
traffic stop in Whitby.
Durham Regional Police said a
car rolled through a stop sign on
Byron Street and was pulled over at
Brock and Keith streets at about 3
a.m. Tuesday.
A patrol officer was speaking to
the two occupants when he detected
the smell of marijuana, police said.
The driver was asked to get out of the
car, but instead he slammed the door
and sped off northbound on Brock
Street. Backup officers were called
and the Dodge Shadow was found
abandoned a short time later on
Stokely Crescent. The suspects were
found hiding in nearby backyards
and arrested, police said.
A search of the car and suspects
netted 830 grams of marijuana in
various packages along with cash,
scales and other drug paraphernalia,
police said.
Corey Wayne Boucher, 23, of
Fenelon Crescent in Oshawa, and Al-
bert Roy Embleton, 28, of Agate
Road in Ajax, are both charged with
possession of a controlled substance,
possession for the purpose of traf-
ficking and possession of crime pro-
ceeds. Both were detained pending
appearances in Oshawa bail court.

Despite the implementation of
government-funded programs
aimed at the retraining and rehabil-
itation of victims of all forms of
oppression, it often seems we’re
still way off the mark. How are we
failing our most vulnerable at a
time of their greatest need? Often,
by denying them an opportunity to
share their unique gifts with the
world.
Opportunistic employers fre-
quently take advantage of these
subsidies, saying goodbye to em-
ployees once the program funding
runs dry. During your employment,
the implicit message is very clear
— you are not a social equal. You
may work for us, but we won’t be
‘chillin’ on Saturday night.
Finding yourself unemployed at
mid-life, after years of gainful con-
tribution, you may discover door
after door of opportunity shutting
in your face. In a society that val-
ues youth, physical vigour, and raw
ambition over experience, worldly
wisdom, and good grace, there is
little room for those who might not
even live out the probation period.
A parent, trying to rescue his
children and himself from an intol-
erable situation, finds his mini-
mum-wage job doesn’t even come
close to covering the cost of ac-
commodation for his family, never
mind food and clothing. Few op-
tions or alternatives can lead to
less-than-favourable lifestyle
choices.
Should we choose to take the
razor-edged blade of truth and
scrape down a layer of denial or
two, the prejudice and pity doled
out by society echoes the enslave-
ment from which they are so des-
perately trying to break free.
On Dec. 24, 1939, near a reserve
in Orillia, a boy was born. The
young boy spent his summers hunt-
ing and fishing in the Muskokas
alongside his mother’s family. His
family eventually moved to the
area.
Equipped with an entrepreneur-
ial spirit and a passion for learning,
instilled in him by his father, the
young boy’s serious, inquisitive na-
ture caught the eye of one of his
employers. Recognizing the
promise in his young landscaper,
the millionaire offered to pay for
his university education. Taking ad-
vantage of this golden gift, the
young man distinguished himself
by holding increasingly responsible
government positions both over-
seas and in Canada. Today young
Jim is better known as Lieutenant-
Governor James Bartleman. Some-
one was willing to give him a
chance.
Dreams, if given the wings of
opportunity to take flight, can soar
to the greatest of heights.

Smoke-free living
the way to go
To the editor:
Having lived in Peterborough for about
nine years, I was pleased when the City in-
stituted a ‘no-smoking-in-restaurants’
edict. At roughly the same time, a similar
policy was adopted in Toronto, and it is
now a pleasure to walk in to an eating es-
tablishment in either city and not be sub-
jected to the stench of smoke.
On a recent trip home from the airport,
I needed to visit a bank on Harwood Av-
enue. Spotting a coffee shop nearby, I
walked in for a snack, and was horrified
both by the sight of many people smoking
and the accompanying smell.
As I placed my order, I asked the atten-
dant how she could stand to be in that at-
mosphere for hours at a time. She agreed
it was deplorable and pointed out that was
why she had both sets of doors wide open,
despite the coolness of the day.
After the pleasure of eating smoke-
free‚ both here and in Toronto for some
years now, it was a nasty shock to realize
this civilized state of affairs does not exist
at all points in between. For the sake of the
health and comfort of the area’s residents,
I urge the local governing body to take
prompt steps to outlaw smoking in all es-
tablishments where people are trying to
enjoy their food.

It’s hard to escape the irony surrounding the chorus of voic-
es raised over the idled ‘A’ reactors at the Pickering Nuclear
Generating Station.
Some of the same people who are now demanding to know
why there are cost overruns and delays in getting the reactors
back into production, not too long ago were calling for the
wholesale closure of the units.
Ontario Power Generation (OPG), one of three companies
created from the ashes of the former Ontario Hydro, is now sev-
eral months and several hundred million dollars behind sched-
ule in retrofitting and restarting the four reactors.
The clamour rose in direct proportion to the size of electric-
ity bills Ontario consumers started receiving in their residential
and commercial mailboxes last month.
Ontario Power Generation is responsible for generating most
of the power consumed by Ontarians. If more power is generat-
ed for the grid, then the supply will help meet — or perhaps
even exceed — the demand, thereby assisting in keeping elec-
tricity rates more manageable. With the ‘A’-side reactors out of
the picture, some argued that last month, power had to be im-
ported at substantially higher costs to meet demand.
The result, of course, were those high electricity bills that
led to hard new questions for OPG officials.
Officials in Pickering have worked diligently in recent years
assessing, planning and executing a massive overhaul of the
four aging reactors. It’s prudent to seek accountability and ask
questions regarding the budget overruns, but care must be taken
to ensure the refurbished reactors are brought to a level that en-
sures safety, reliability and efficient production for years to
come.
If, as Liberal MPP Sean Conway contended in the Ontario
legislature last week that the delays are going to have “serious
and negative consequences” for electricity consumers, imagine
the potential for “serious and negative consequences” of rush-
ing to bring the reactors online based on political needs.
If Ontarians were given the choice, surely they would opt for
a delay if it ensured a safe and reliable energy supply, rather
than a quick fix to save a few dollars on their hydro bills.
OPG has some hard questions to answer and plenty of work
to do in the coming months, but must never compromise on its
commitment to doing the job properly.
It has renewed its commitment to nuclear power by working
to bring the ‘A’ side back online and stated its renewed com-
mitment to safety here at home in producing energy for Ontar-
ians.
Let’s get on with the job.
Get on with restart

Salvation Army
Thanksgiving Food
Drive by dropping off
over $2000 worth of
non-perishable gro-
ceries at the A&P loca-
tion on King Street
East.
Non-perishable
food items were col-
lected at all major gro-
cery stores and fire
halls all over Durham,
and it ran from
October 11-October 20.
The Corvettes Of
Durham (COD), is
locally based in
Durham Region and
consists of members
who enjoy cruises,
social evenings and
car shows throughout
Southern Ontario and
the Usa.
During the past
year COD has hosted
two very successful
car shows. The money
raised at these car
shows and through 50-
50 draws at each
monthly meeting have
enabled COD to give
back to the communi-
ty. Some of their gen-
erous sponsors
include Nurse Chev
Olds who hosted their
“Dream Vettes” show
for the second year, Ice
Sports Oshawa who
hosted their 1st quad
show and many other
local businesses who
donated prizes for
both of our shows.
“The money we
raise at our events, is
given back to the com-
munity,” says Jim
Hannah, president of
COD. “This time we
gave to three different
charities including the
Salvation Army Food
Drive. We Hope to
continue donating in
the years to come.”

Pickering farmland needs protection:Ajax mayor
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Private lands in
Pickering sold as agricultural prop-
erty last year should remain so and
need provincial protection so they
do not end up as part of a sweet deal
for developers, said Ajax Mayor
Steve Parish.
At a regional council meeting
Wednesday, the mayor said if agri-
cultural easements are lifted off
lands sold by the Ontario Realty
Corporation (ORC) to private indi-
viduals last year in the Duffin-
Rouge agricultural reserve to allow
development it would be a “tremen-
dous windfall for property owners.
“People who paid $4,000 an acre
are going to have land worth 10, 20,
30 or 50 times that amount... just for
knowing the right people at the right
time,” the mayor said.
The mayor’s comments came as
council discussed a swap of public
lands in the Seaton area of Picker-
ing for privately-held lands in Rich-
mond Hill situated on the Oak
Ridges Moraine. A number of coun-
cillors and private land owners at
the meeting griped about the deci-
sion of the North Pickering Land
Exchange and Review Panel, head-
ed by former Toronto mayor David
Crombie, overseeing the land swap,
to extend its mandate beyond the
Seaton lands to include the private-
ly-owned agricultural properties in
the area.
Some councillors said the review
panel had clearly overstepped its
mandate because private lands are
under local planning jurisdiction.
“I didn’t support the inclusion of
those lands in the study,” said Pick-
ering Councillor Mark Holland who
suggested, “The Province is using
those lands as a smoke screen for
what’s happening in Seaton. There’s
going to be a debate on those agri-
cultural lands, that needs to happen,
but it’s separate from Seaton.”
But Mayor Parish disagreed. He
suggested the Province should en-
sure the agricultural preserve is left
as farmland. He said the recent in-
clusion of those lands in Pickering’s
growth management plan study
could result in development the
Province had never intended for
when it sold the properties to private
owners.
If development were allowed on
those lands, Mayor Parish said, “It
would be a tremendous loss to the
public sector in terms of money and
agricultural land.”
However, representatives of
local farmers who have worked the
land for many generations said there
are further considerations. If Seaton
is developed, the feasibility of con-
tinuing farm operations side by side
with development must be account-
ed for, they said.
Council voted to tell the
Province it needs more time to
study the issues before commenting
on the principles the review panel
has set out for the land exchange.

DURHAM —Whose job isn’t
stressful?
These days, when projects have
to be completed yesterday, no one
can say they have it easy at work.
But it’s doubtful when thinking of
a stressful job the first occupation
that springs to mind is bookkeeper,
or accountant, or line worker or
snowplow operator. Of course there
are days and of course there are
bosses who make life miserable
(and employees who make life
miserable for bosses).
But, there are those jobs that
truly stand out as a chest-tighten-
ing, stroke inducing, phone slam-
ming, vein popping, ‘going postal’
stress inducers.
How do you cope when your
job entails such things as removing
a child from an abusive situation,
or five sets of parents yelling that
their child can’t sit in the waiting
room any longer and need to see a
doctor immediately, or helping an
abused woman take the first steps
towards rebuilding her life?
‘Taking work home with you’
has been going on since we first
started trotting off to work. But
how do you talk about work when
you can’t talk about it?
“I can’t go home and talk about
it,” says Margo Josey, an intake su-
pervisor with the Durham Chil-
dren’s Aid Society (CAS). “I have
to explain there was a case that was
really tough to deal with. If I’m not
talkative, the case is still with me.”
When talking with family isn’t
possible, Ms. Josey tries to “refo-
cus. Instead of thinking of the
child, I refocus to what can I do in
this case.”
Her job entails reviewing all
new cases that come in and deter-
mining what plans have to be
taken. She also has to decide if
children have to be removed from a
family.
“Basically, I make the decision,”
she says.
“The last thing we want to do is
tear apart a family. But if there’s a
risk to the children, we’re doing it
for the child. You have to stay fo-
cused on the child and make every-
one safe.
“Twelve years into the job and
there are still cases that upset me.
But we really try to focus on ‘we
have to do this to make the child’s
life safe’. That helps.”
Joey is a human
services counsellor
at Denise
House, a shel-
ter for abused
women and
their chil-
dren in Os-
hawa.
“It’s
rewarding at times to see a woman
move forward, to make positive
changes in their lives,” she says.
“It’s stressful when they talk about
abuse in their life. It could have
started early in their life.”
Joey didn’t want her last name
used for security reasons. The dan-
ger comes in partners who have lit-
tle concern for the law.
“They’re not afraid to come
around and to cross the line,” she
says.
She copes with the stress by
speaking with her co-workers.
Also, “I have a bit of a commute
and it allows me to go through it in
my head so I’m not bringing it
home with me.”
Joey has two children, ages
three and one, and she’s “fortunate
they’re with someone during the
day so I don’t have to worry about
them. There’s not a lot of time for
other stuff.”
As for a stress release, “I’m still
working on that.”
Sergeant Adam Kelly is a 14-
year veteran of the Durham Re-
gional Police Service. His relief
comes from participating in sports,
particularly playing hockey and
golf. “Talking with the guys” is an-
other way of venting steam.
“It’s most important to keep
physically fit. For me, that’s how I
unwind,” Sgt. Kelly says.
While he tries not to bring work
home, sometimes he does talk over
matters with family. “Generally,
I try to
keep it separate.”
CAS intake worker Ian Ka-
vanagh tries to set up “boundaries”
so his work doesn’t cross into his
private life.
“There are boundaries. When
you leave work, you leave work,”
he says. “My life isn’t solely iden-
tified by my work. It’s something
I’ve chosen to do and I truly enjoy
doing it.”
Having “an active life outside of
work” is how he deals with stress
and avoiding burnout.
“I do lots in the community,” he
states. “You need good boundaries
between work and life.”
Marg Zwicker has been working
at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick-
ering hospital for 20 years, while
Carrie Harrison has been there 13.
Ms. Harrison is an emergency
room nurse, while Ms. Zwicker is
in charge of the department.
On a busy regular shift, the av-
erage stay in the waiting room can
be three to four hours.
“A lot of people think their kids
should be taken first. A lot think
it’s first-come, first-served. It’s
not,” Ms. Zwicker says.
Discussions on developing cop-
ing skills and how to handle stress
are held, Ms. Zwicker says.
“There are days I can deal with
stress very well and there are days
where I don’t,” Ms. Harrison says.
“Some days, you have to get secu-
rity involved. An irate drunk puts
the top on it.
“Our department has been cop-
ing for so long, it can’t cope any
longer. Ambulances are coming all
the time. They can’t stop coming.
Nurses are working very hard. It
comes to the point you can’t handle
it any longer.”
Wo rkload is also an issue for
CAS employees. Mr. Kavanagh is
dealing with 10 to 12 files and “a
bunch I’m trying to close. I’m sit-
ting at an even dozen right now.
And, he notes that dealing with
abuse and neglect “can make
you angry.
“You want to change the world,
but you quickly realize it’s not your
world to change. There’s only so
much you can do and you work to
fix what you can. You can get jaded
and cynical. It’s not our job to
make families happy. It’s our job to
make families functional. Once you
realize that is what the job is, then
you can live with the job and do
much better.”
For Sgt. Kelly the most stressful
situations are those involving
weapons and “anything involving
young children, involving their
health.
“A ccidents involving young
children are probably the most dif-
ficult for most of the guys. Obvi-
ously, accident scenes can be quite
horrific.”
As for an officer just starting
out, his advice is “if it upsets you,
don’t hold it in.
Talk to somebody from work or
your family. Don’t hold it in. Don’t
let it build up.
“It’s pretty much the same ad-
vice I got when I started. Get it off
your chest and move on.”
Talking is also something Ms.
Josey recommends.
“Talk about it with colleagues.
Refocus and don’t try to take all
the responsibility on yourself,” she
says. Ms. Zwicker, meanwhile,
says in other departments “there
are different stressors than emerg.”
Being a nurse in some of the
other departments becomes attrac-
tive because the shifts are Monday
to Friday. “After years (on 12-hours
shifts) that’s appealing.”
And, an ER nurse has to work
either Christmas Day or New
Year’s Day.
After work, “we basically go
home to our families. Hopefully
you can leave it all behind you, but
it’s not always possible. If it’s not
possible, you take it home with
you,” Ms. Harrison says.
“You don’t sleep too well. It
takes its toll,” Ms. Zwicker adds.
“It does and when it gets there,
there’s increased sick leave. There
are things you can’t handle any-
more.”
Getting a thank you is “nice”,
and Ms. Harrison says a card can
“boost you for a month. We usually
see patients at their worst.”

Find relief
There are some common
sense tips you can follow to cope
with stress, from the Web site
www.stressbusting.co.uk.
• Keep a dairy — maintain a list
of events, times, people, and
places that seem to make you
feel more stressed. Do this for at
least two weeks and you’ll be
surprised to find a pattern
emerges. Knowing your pressure
points means you can move on
to solutions;
• Talk — just talking about
things makes you feel better;
• Relax — practice deep-
breathing techniques, such as
slowing inhaling while counting
to five; hold your breath for five
seconds and then breathe out
slowly. Do this 10 times when
feeling stressed, concentrating
on nothing but your breathing;
• Take five-minute breaks every
hour — ‘shut down’ and think
about nothing but a perfect situa-
tion;
• Exercise regularly — you
don’t have to move to a health
club. A brisk 20-minute walk
three times a week will reduce
stress and promote restful sleep
and;
• Think positive.

DURHAM ––Seven days of
awareness take place throughout
Canada Nov. 2 to 9 as municipali-
ties across the country observe Na-
tional Down Syndrome Week.
Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Os-
hawa, Port Perry and Clarington are
no exceptions, according to the
Durham Down Syndrome Associa-
tion.
The parent-run organization
stresses the fact 42,000 Canadians
have Down’s syndrome, the most
common chromosomal abnormality
with no known cause or cure. Al-
though intellectual disabilities are
associated with the condition, many
who have it live productive, suc-
cessful lives.
A conference hosted by the
Durham association takes place
Nov. 2 at the Oshawa Holiday Inn.
Entitled ‘The Future is Ours,’ the
key speaker is an adult advocate
with Down’s syndrome. Registra-
tion begins at 8:30 a.m. The Holi-
day Inn is located at 1011 Bloor St.,
E.
Conference highlights

Let there be treadmills
Pickering trains its eyes on
citizen health in approval
of new fitness equipment
BY LESLEY BOVIE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The second-floor
expansion at the Pickering Recreation
Complex will sport $181,000 worth of
new fitness equipment when it opens
next month.
Pickering’s finance and operations
committee has granted the City’s recre-
ation department pre-budget approval
to purchase new treadmills, cross-train-
ers and strength training equipment.
“We’ve asked for approval to do it
now (rather than wait for budget ap-
proval next year) so we can have it in
place for the December opening,” said
Steve Reynolds, Pickering’s division
head of culture and recreation.
Pre-budget approval also means the
recreation department can include the
new equipment in its marketing drive
for new members in the new year.
January is typically a popular time
for new sign ups, Mr. Reynolds said.
Recreation officials hope to offset
the cost of the new equipment through
revenues from new fitness member-
ships, roughly an additional 250 sign
ups each in 2003 and 2004.

Sean Meredith
serving tour in
Bosnia as medical
liaison officer
BY LESLEY BOVIE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The
medical needs of Canadian
soldiers in Bosnia are in the
hands of a Pickering native
for the next six months.
Captain Sean Meredith,
who grew up in west Picker-
ing delivering the News Ad-
vertiser, is the national med-
ical liaison officer for Task
Force Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The six-month tour he
embarked on Oct. 4 continues
until the end of March.
“I think it’s beautiful
here,” said the 26-year-old in
a recent phone interview. “It
looks like the interior of B.C.
here. There are huge moun-
tains and lush green valleys.”
Stationed at Camp Black
Bear in Velika Kladusa, just
south of the Croatian border,
Capt. Meredith said it’s diffi-
cult to believe the beautiful
countryside has been ravaged
by civil war.
“They tell us a couple
years ago there were no cars
and no people on the streets,”
he said. “Now it’s bustling.”
A graduate of Dunbarton
High School, Capt. Meredith
obtained an honours bache-
lor’s degree in life sciences
from Queen’s University.
While in Kingston, he joined
the military reserve out of
HMC Cataraqui and after
graduation joined the navy in
the Maritimes, serving on the
HMCS Brandon.
Capt. Meredith later trans-
ferred to the Canadian Forces
base in Shiloh,Winnipeg,and
on Sept. 25 joined the task
force.
As national medical liai-
son officer, it’s his duty to co-
ordinate and organize med-
ical supplies for Canada’s
1,200 soldiers serving in the
northwest corner of Bosnia.
That means arranging trans-
port back to Canada for any-
one injured and taking stock
of medical services available
there.
Hospitals in Bosnia aren’t
up to North American stan-
dards, Capt. Meredith said.
“There’s older equipment
and just not what you would
expect to find from your own
hospital at home,” he said.
Soldiers needing more ad-
vanced care are often sent to
Zagreb, Croatia for treat-
ment. Motor vehicle acci-
dents are one of the major
causes of accidents because
the roads are very hilly and
follow the contours of the
land, Capt. Meredith said.
Canadian forces patrol a
7,000-square-foot area of
northwest Bosnia, roughly
the size of Cape Breton Is-
land, making sure it remains
calm until the local popula-
tion can get back on its feet.
The number of military
personnel has steadily de-
clined over the years since
the North American Treaty
Organization (NATO)
launched in 1996 its 60,000
multi-international stabiliza-
tion force in Bosnia, said
Major Tim Lourie, the task
force’s publicity officer.
“We hope our major peace
enforcement presence will
continue to decline until
eventually the local police
force will take hold,” he said.
Capt. Meredith said he
plans to return to the Shiloh
base when his six-month tour
is up. But with his family
now living in Whitby, he said
his roots will always be firm-
ly planted in Durham.

ITER bid
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
LY ON, France -
WHEN CANADIAN delegates
touched down in Lyon,
France in October it was with
one mission in mind: to strengthen
Canada’s bid for the International Ther-
monuclear Experimental Reactor
(ITER).
The $12-billion energy R&D centre
could produce enough revenue to lower
the federal and provincial debt by more
than $6 billion in total, according to a
study conducted in 2000 by Ernst and
Young.
It is also a chance to be the centre of
what could be one of the most important
discoveries of the 21st century - a new,
clean and sustainable energy source.
It’s no wonder the right to host this
facility is coveted by Canada, France,
Spain and Japan.
Despite its excellent technical site
and strong socio-economic base, the
task of convincing the science commu-
nity Clarington is the place to build the
most important step in more than 50
years of fusion research is daunting.
Spain, France and Japan are all offering
sites with excellent qualities to recom-
mend them.
The timing to call in the reinforce-
ments was right with the bi-annual In-
ternational Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) Conference in Lyon, from Oct.
14 - 19. Site assessments are already
under way and a final report from the se-
lection committee will be presented in
February at a negotiation session in St.
Petersburg in the Russian Federation.
It will then be up to government lead-
ers in Japan, the European Union, the
Russian Federation and Canada to deter-
mine where the best place for ITER will
be. A final decision is expected by
spring 2003, said Dr. Robert Aymar,
team leader for Iter International.
Dr. Aymar told delegates there is a
strong expectation China, Korea and the
United States will be partners in the pro-
ject, (although none will offer sites) by
the time the decision is being made.
With strong fusion programs already in
existence in all of those countries, it
makes sense they will want to be part of
this final step to bringing years of re-
search to fruition.
Meanwhile, the conference was a
chance for each country to appeal to a
captive audience of bureaucrats, politi-
cal leaders, scientists and engineers on
the merits of their site.
Iter Canada’s president, Dr. Murray
Stewart, relates there was a need to
demonstrate to international researchers,
Canada is in full support of the project.
“The conference at Lyon was the first
time all the competitors for the ITER
site went head to head in showing the
world the benefits of locating in their
country. The team from Durham Region
provided a great show of strength and
support from Canada. Their discussions
with the many influential international
scientists left no doubt Durham Region
knows what is important to research or-
ganizations in locating this kind of facil-
ity and is experienced in providing it,”

LYON
In Durham, International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
(ITER) is synonymous with the social and economic impacts a
$12-billion research facility could bring.
But for thousands of researchers worldwide, ITER is simply
the key tool to finding a sustainable energy source for the planet.
As Third World countries strive to become developed nations,
their energy needs will increase. As traditional sources of energy
such as oil and gas are depleted, humanity will need at least one,
if not more, major sources to fill the gap between supply and de-
mand. While no one would dispute the importance of green ener-
gies like wind and solar, the reality is these are only a small part of the energy mix re-
quired for the second half of this century.
For several years, the political will has not been there to spend the amount of money
required to build ITER. Now, international governments are stating their full support for
the project. Already, millions of dollars have been spent developing the components re-
quired to assemble the project.
And so, in the final months before a site is chosen for ITER, a new era in energy re-
search begins.

Battle to win ITER in full swing
A delegation from Durham
took the show on the road to
Ly on, France and the 19th In-
ternational Atomic Energy
Agency Conference to sell in-
ternational researchers on a
Clarington site for ITER.

STORIES AND PHOTOS JACQUIE McINNES/STAFF WRITER
Dr. Stewart says.
So as scientists from more than 40
countries gathered to talk fusion, Clar-
ington Mayor John Mutton, Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson, regional
tourism manager Patti Watson and Clar-
ington Chief Administrative Office
Frank Wu lent their voices to marketing
Canada. Clarington local councillor Don
MacArthur joined the group as an inde-
pendent observer, paying his own fare,
to assist the Canadian effort.
“I went over with the idea of boost-
ing the bid, not from a technical aspect
which the Iter Canada people could do,
but to promote the great lifestyle, hous-
ing, education and health care opportu-
nities we have here,” says Coun.
MacArthur.
During a week spent at the Canadian
exhibitor’s booth, the delegation an-
swered questions on everything from
weather to politics for the scientists who
may one day be working at the ITER fa-
cility.
“People were very positive about the
Canadian site,” says Mr. Anderson, who
was able to assure delegates the govern-
ments of Canada, Ontario, the Region
and Clarington are all 100 per cent be-
hind the bid.
The culmination of the week’s efforts
came at a special ITER forum, held the
evening of Wednesday, Oct. 16 when
each country had the chance to put its
case to a full-house audience.
Canada was up first. Mayor Mutton
was given the task of selling the com-
munity and the country. He spoke of the
commitment not only from government
but from labour, universities and the pri-
vate sector as well as the local commu-
nity that, in surveys, has backed the bid
almost 100 per cent. “Clarington and
Canada is multicultural,”the mayor said.
“It is a diverse community ready techni-
cally and ready socio-economically” for
ITER. As well, he pointed to Canada’s
participation in important physics and
science projects like its robotics pro-
gram at the international space station,
the work in Sudbury that solved the puz-
zle of the missing solar neutrinos and of
TRIUMF, the national laboratory for
particle and nuclear physics in western
Canada. The mayor talked about the
housing, health care, recreational and
multicultural education facilities all lo-
cated in or within close proximity to
Clarington.
“The comments we received from
the delegates after the presentation were
all positive and encouraging,” says Mr.
Wu.
The next morning, the Durham con-
tingent set out on a nine-hour drive to
Vandellos, Spain, where that country’s
proposed ITER site is located to get a
first-hand view of the competition but
also to take yet another opportunity to
promote Clarington.
“There is only so much that can be
accomplished in a phone call,” relates
Mayor Mutton. “We needed to be seen
and heard by the leaders and also by the
people who have invested their lives in
fusion research, preparing for ITER. Of
course Spain wants ITER there and
France and Japan want it in their coun-
tries. What we said to them is if your site
is not the choice,you can feel good com-
ing to Clarington. I do think they heard
us. I do think we improved their level of
comfort with the Canadian site signifi-
cantly.”
France: following Durham Region’s ITER team
LY ON, France -
THE DIFFICULTY FOR the ITER
assessment team will not be find-
ing a site suitable for the project,
but eliminating three very good sites
and choosing one final home for the fa-
cility, says academician Evginy Velikov,
president of the Kurchatov Institute in
Moscow and a negotiator for the ITER
fusion research project.
“There is no problem with any of the
sites. It is a very difficult choice,” he
told delegates in Lyon, France for the
19th International Atomic Energy
Agency Conference.
Although many countries, including
those in the European Union along with
the Russian Federation, Japan and
Canada are partners in the ITER fusion
program, only four sites are being con-
sidered for the location of the project:
Japan, Spain, France and Canada. Each
proposed site meets the minimum tech-
nical requirements set out by the ITER
International team.
With new technologies it is a “small-
er world” and some satellite labs and of-
fices for the major international collab-
oration can be located across the globe,
Dr. Velikov said. But choosing just one
physical site for the 12-storey tokamak
and the 18 buildings that will house the
project’s people and its equipment,
must be done sometime in the first half
of 2003. It won’t be easy.
CANADA
www.itercanada.com
The Clarington site offers a ready supply of affordable housing, universal
health care, a multitude of recreational opportunities within the community,
multicultural public education, a moderate climate similar to the other sites and
all located within 50 kilometres of Toronto, Canada’s cultural and business cen-
tre. These are just a few of the attributes that make Canada “the outstanding
lifestyle choice for ITER,” Clarington Mayor John Mutton told conference del-
egates. In addition to government support, the people of Canada, especially
those in Durham, are strong supporters of the project, he said. Canada has a
large skilled workforce
capable of both building
and operating ITER, he
added. “The government,
labour, universities and
the private sector all sup-
port ITER. Clarington
and Canada are multicul-
tural, diverse communi-
ties.”
Te chnically, Canada’s
site offers everything the
project requires from a
ready and inexpensive
source of electricity to
roads, a 140-hectare site,
an ocean-accessible port
and perhaps, most impor-
tantly, a ready supply of
tritium required to fuel
the research. Canada is
the only site with tritium
at the ready which could
become key with mounting concerns over international transportation security
issues.
“We are ready technically and we are ready socio-economically,” Mayor
Mutton said.
JAPAN
www.pref.aomori.jp/iter/
Three hours from Tokyo by land or an hour by plane, beside
Rokkasho Village, a famous fishing area known for its natural beauty,
the Japanese site with “conditions idealistic to ITER” is ready to be built
on. A 100-hectare parcel of land “flat and square and flexible for the lay-
out of ITER” will be donated by the Japanese government, says Satoru
Ohtake, director of the Japanese office of fusion energy.
Japan’s site is the most remote of all the proposed sites but the local
government has made a commitment to building housing and an inter-
national school from kindergarten to Grade 12 for the ITER community
if the project is located there. As well, English services will be provided
by the local municipality to assist scientists and their families who relo-
cate in Rokkasho. The site, on the Pacific Ocean, has a 5,000 tonne class
ship dock for ITER’s large components and dedicated power lines would
be installed at the site to provide for the project’s electricity needs. Japan
already has a strong fusion research program with 1,000-plus re-
searchers.
The bottom line:
Eliminate
three very
good sites

with any of the sites. It
is a very difficult
choice,”

“Strong government support,” and its proximity to Barcelona, a bustling, historic city with two mil-
lion people 130 kilometres away, are just two of the desirable traits offered by the Vandellos, Spain site,
Dr. Carlos Alejaldre told delegates. The spectacular Mediterranean Sea and a tourist town just minutes
from the site are other pluses.
The site offers the infrastructure needed for the project including train service along the coast, a port
for bringing in equipment and better seismic conditions than Japan or France, though not better than
Canada, says Dr. Angel Ibarra. As well, he adds, in addition to baseload power from local nuclear plants,
the Vandellos site has access to co-generation natural gas plants to handle the peak demands of the ITER
project. The region of Catalonia, where Vandellos is located, has public and private schools and a health
care system among the top seven in the world, according to World Health Organization indicators.
Aside from its technical attributes, Vandellos offers a sunny beachside location, popular in summer
with the tourists, making it a picture postcard site.
FRANCE

“The beaches, the mountains, the extraordinary cultural diversity” and the “ex-
perience and desire of the people,” of France is what makes the Cadarache site
ideal, Bernard Frois, the Cadarache team leader told delegates. Add to that
Cadarache’s track record in fusion research, its 18 nuclear installations and “track
record of organizational design.” The site, located near Aix-en-Provence, is about
70 kilometres from Marseille, France’s second largest city.
In the 1980s France
bid to host the Joint Eu-
ropean Torus (JET) ex-
periment, the precursor
to ITER, says Akko Maas
of CEA-Cadarache. The
site didn’t win “mostly
because Cadarache didn’t
have a fusion centre yet,”
he explains. Today,
Cadarache is one of the
world’s leaders in fusion
research. “We already
have a fusion team on
site and we’re used to
collaboration,” he says.
“We have the power for
ITER and we can deal
with the (radioactive) waste. The infrastructure is there.”
France is furthest inland of the four bids which adds an obstacle for transport-
ing the large pieces that will come from the international community for the pro-
ject, concedes Mr. Maas. However, he says, the French government has committed
to creating the roads and bridges required to ensure equipment and parts are deliv-
erable to the site. ITER will take six months of travel time for parts to arrive from
around the world regardless of where it is located, he relates. The inland travel will
add only three days to that timetable, he says.
French cuisine,
culture and a
passion for fu-
sion are just a
few of the at-
tributes Akko
Maas uses to
sell France to
visitors to the
French booth in
the exhibitor’s
hall.

LY ON, France -
FOR MOST DURHAM
residents the first knowledge of fu-
sion came with Canada’s decision
to bid for a research and development fa-
cility to be located in Clarington.
But, worldwide, governments in
more than 40 countries are spending
millions of dollars and investing the
work of hundreds of scientists toward
creating this new form of energy.
Japan, the European Union, the Russ-
ian Federation, the United States and
China are but a few of the countries
tackling the problem of harnessing fu-
sion - the energy that powers the sun and
the stars - for use here on earth.
“We all know humans will have a lot
of problems. Energy (now) is not renew-
able,” related Rene Pellat of the Com-
mission of Atomic Energy, based in
Paris, during the opening session of the
19th International Atomic Energy
Agency Fusion Energy Conference in
Lyon, France.
“Now essentially, we have oil and
coal. Gas will replace those on a short-
term scale. Nuclear accounts for another
six per cent and others (like wind and
solar) about seven per cent.” However,
he noted, by the middle of this century,
the world will need a major, sustainable,
and ideally environmentally-benign
form of energy. And fusion scientists
worldwide hope it will be fusion. But
that can’t happen without the final step,
ITER, the International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor.
ITER will allow scientists to prove
the feasibility and safety of fusion be-
fore building a commercial demonstra-
tion plant, said Dr. Robert Aymar, the
ITER International team leader.
“ITER is launching a new era of fu-
sion research. Fusion is now in the tech-
nological and political arena. Fusion
will be a major contributor to the energy
mix for the second half of this century.”
Recent breakthroughs in fusion research
leading toward the creation of ITER
“make us confident it will be success-
ful,” Dr. Aymar told delegates.
Scientists were ready to take this final
step a decade ago but, with oil prices low
and availability stable, politicians of the
day were unwilling to make the financial
commitment to the project. Today, the
governments in the European Union,
Japan and the Russian Federation have
all said they are ready to take that step.
The United States, China and Korea are
also expected to join in to partner on the
$12-billion R&D project in hopes of
harnessing the technology for future
generations.
Canada has offered to host the pro-
gram here and if it is selected, the On-
tario government has committed $300
million in funding toward the project.
The private sector here has also made a
commitment to help meet Canada’s fi-
nancial obligations should it be chosen
as the site for the facility. As well, Cana-
da would supply a site and tritium, re-
quired to fuel the project. France, Spain
and Japan are also vying to host the pro-
ject. But regardless of where it is built,
governments around the world will be
investing in the technology they hope
will power their countries in the future.
While there may be many sources of
energy in the mix for the world’s future
including green energies like wind and
solar, there will be a need for another
major source to take the place of coal,
oil and gas, said Dr. Pellat. Today, many
Third World countries remain in poverty,
in part, due to a lack of access to energy.
“We want to try to give a better life to
people who don’t get it now by doubling
energy production,” he said. To do so
will require a sustainable energy, an
abundant energy that can be replicated in
all climate conditions and an energy that
will not produce greenhouse gases or
harm the environment. With further re-
search, that energy could be fusion.

Fusion: an
international
investment
W orldwide, more than 40
countries are spending
millions on fusion
Independent
assessments mean
to ensure the safety
of workers and the
public
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
LY ON, France -
IT’S EXCITING AND IT’S
important but is it safe?
That’s the question some people are
asking as Durham awaits an answer on
whether it will be chosen to host a $12-
billion fusion energy research facility.
While physicists, engineers and re-
searchers work toward creation of fu-
sion energy, an international team has
been appointed to ensure the safety of
the public, the workers and the environ-
ment is respected in the process.
Dr. Charles Gordon, an Oakville res-
ident, is seconded to the ITER safety,
environmental and health team in Ger-
many. Dr. Gordon was in attendance re-
cently at the 19th International Atomic
Energy Agency conference in Lyon,
France.
“The program goal of ITER (Interna-
tional Thermonuclear Experimental Re-
actor) is to demonstrate the safety at-
traction of fusion,” explained the group
leader. “We are a separate group to do
independent assessments apart from the
people doing the design and we look at
the whole thing together. We’re there to
ensure the safety of the workers and the
safety of the public under normal opera-
tions and the safety of the public and
workers in terms of accidents as well as
waste generation when decommission-
ing takes place.”
Fusion research is inherently safe,
said Dr. Gordon. Even under the “worst-
case scenario” circumstances hypothe-
sized by researchers there would never
be a need for site evacuation.
“We went through a lot of scenarios
to look at what could happen such as
what if you spill water into the machine
and at the same time there is a leak in
the vacuum system. We just make the
assumption it happens and forget about
probability. We assume there is an initial
event with a coincident aggravating oc-
currence. We went through a whole
spectrum of different kinds of acci-
dents.”
In reality, he said, “There are multi-
ple confinement barriers and clean-up
systems,” that would almost certainly
prevent these scenarios from occurring.
But despite that, over the past several
years, the team has looked at the effec-
tiveness of the barriers and put them to
the test. “The worst that could happen is
you would get in the course of a few
days, the radiation you would normally
get (from natural sources) over the
course of a year.” But, he stresses, that is
really stretching the realm of possibili-
ties.
“In our worst-case scenario, we
wouldn’t have to evacuate people off
site,” said Dr. Gordon.
Some laypeople have raised concerns
about magnetic fields within the re-
search facility because of the large mag-
nets used in the tokamak machine where
the fusion experiment occurs. “Sensitive
people with pacemakers,” may have to
stay out of some buildings at certain
times, said Dr. Gordon but “once you
are out of that building the magnetic
fields are trivial.”
Ideally, scientists hope one day to
eliminate the radioactive component
from the fusion process entirely. In the
meantime, Dr. Gordon says, his team
will continue to be work to ensure the
safety of ITER for workers and the pub-
lic and to continually improve upon it.

Nurse practitioners
are ready to play their role
in Ontario health care.
But is the Province ready
for them?
Practising
patience
A ntonia Benton is one of a
new hybrid of nurses with
the ability to assess, treat
and even medicate patients inde-
pendent of a doctor.
With skills unparalleled by
their predecessors in a health care
system facing a serious shortage
of medical personnel, you would
think newly-graduated nurse
practitioners (NPs) like Ms. Ben-
ton would be overwhelmed by
job offers. They’re not.
“It’s really unsettling. I’ve
worked so hard to get where I
am,” says the Pickering resident.
“There’s no real security. Unless
I was willing to go much farther
north there are going to be a lot of
NPs vying for the same jobs.”
The Ontario government is
committing $14 million to bring
120 more nurse practitioners into
the health care mix in 2002 and
2003, says John Letherby,
spokesman for the Ministry of
Health and Longterm Care.
The goal, he says, is to have
369 NPs working in Ontario by
2005.
During his May throne speech,
the Premier announced $3 mil-
lion of that money will introduce
20 new NPs into 12 community
health centres in areas of the
province facing the greatest
dearth of doctors.
The rest of the funding will be
dedicated to placing another 100
NPs in long-term care facilities
and other positions where basic
medical care is currently lacking
due to the doctor shortage, says
Mr. Letherby.
But with 900,000 patients
across the province without a
family doctor, according to the
Ontario Medical Association - in-
cluding thousands in Durham Re-
gion –– there are many people
who feel the move to integrate
nurse practitioners into the com-
munity is still not happening fast
enough.
“There aren’t as many posi-
tions as there are nurse practi-
tioners graduating every year,”
says Claudia Mariano, Central
Region representative for the
Nurse Practitioners Association
of Ontario.
“If they don’t get a position
they simply stay where they are
(working as regular registered
nurses) and they’re essentially
lost to the system. That’s a
shame.”
Nurse practitioners can fulfil
many of the roles of the general
practitioner, says Ms. Mariano.
NPs have the ability and legislat-
ed authority to carry out diagno-
sis of common ailments, pre-
scribe some drugs and perform
some diagnostic tests without the
supervision of a doctor.
But to date they are only being
placed in the areas in the very
greatest need. That leaves many
patients heading to emergency
rooms for treatment of ear infec-
tions, viruses and other common
ailments simply because they
don’t have a family physician.
Part of the problem may result
from the way the NPs are funded,
Ms. Mariano suggests.
While nurse practitioners
have the skills to carry out basic
GP functions, what they cannot
do is bill through OHIP. That
means new positions are reliant
on government funding.
“There are a lot of physicians
that are very receptive, who
would say this is great (to work
with a NP). But they would have
to pay the NP out of their own
pocket. They can’t bill for it,” re-
lates Ms. Mariano.
However, the Ontario Medical
Association, the voice of the
province’s doctors, believes NP
services should not be billed.
Furthermore, the OMA questions
the use of NPs to cover off re-
gions lacking doctors.
“Our view is wherever they
practice they need to be affiliated
with family doctors, that’s essen-
tial,” says Dr. Elliot Halparin,
president of the Ontario Medical
Association. “There’s a serious
doctor shortage that needs to be
solved with doctors. You can’t
solve it any other way than with
doctors,” he adds.
That isn’t to say the OMA
doesn’t feel NPs have a valuable
role to play, he says. “We believe
they (NPs) would make a very
valuable addition to a practice. I
know doctors who do work with
NPs and all three people, the doc-
tor, the NP and the patient are all
quite content. It really does help
the health practitioner do what
they do best,” he says.
For example, a patient with di-
abetes could be assessed by the
doctor, then subsequent check-
ups could be handled by the NP
providing everything remains
routine, suggests Dr. Halparin. If
a problem arises with the case,
the NP could then consult with
the doctor. “That’s where an NP
could take a tremendous load off
the doctor.”
Ms. Benton says NPs aren’t
trying to replace doctors but be-
lieves they can fill a role doctors
don’t always have the time to
play. “Chronic patients need
more than a 10- or 15-minute
visit,” she says. “I feel there is a
great need for more comprehen-
sive care.” Ms. Benton subscribes
to a philosophy of “looking at a
person as a whole,” something
doctors rarely have time for. “I
think some things are over-
looked.”
Dr. Halparin concedes this
type of scenario could help ease
the doctor shortage by allowing
doctors to see more patients.
However, he maintains, the NP’s
services should not be billable.
“They’re nurses. They need to
be funded as nurses. It’s part of
our health care system and that’s
the way it should be.”
For now at least, that is the
way it is.
But it means NPs who want to
practise primary care will only be
found in publicly-funded institu-
tions such as Ontario’s 29 gov-
ernment-funded community
health centres.
Durham has only two commu-
nity health centres, one in Ajax
and one in Oshawa, employing
three NPs in total.
A few other social agencies,
including Gate 3:16, a charity
providing service for street peo-
ple, also employ NPs. But those
positions are few.
Increasingly the government is
also funding positions in hospi-
tals and long-term care facilities,
says Mr. Letherby.
But, with the exception of
emergency room NPs, those are
not professionals the public can
access for primary health care.
“I’m looking for something in
Durham but there’s nothing I’m
aware of,” says Ms. Benton.
“A lot of the work is up north
or in the Hamilton area. I know a
lot of GPs who would like to have
an NP on board but there’s no
funding mechanism.”
Still, says, Ms. Mariano, there
is light at the end of the tunnel.
“As slow as things seem to be,
you have to look at the last five
years. We’ve got the NP program
up and running. There are lots of
demonstration sites and expan-
sions of practices. We’re not
where we’d like to be. Still, a lot
has happened in five years.”

and medications;

But Corey’s longtime
opposition to annual
expense remains
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Like the
leaves falling from the trees, Os-
hawa Trustee Joe Corey’s objec-
tion to school board money sup-
porting a staff Christmas party is
a regular every fall.
Over the years, the Durham
Catholic District School Board
trustee has maintained the
board’s annual $100 donation to
the Christmas dinner/dance is
money the board is not spending
on students, and always voted
against it.
So, at Monday’s board meet-
ing, the grins began appearing
when the item came up on the
agenda again, and board chair-
man Mary Ann Martin asked if
the veteran trustee had anything
to say about it. He didn’t reply,
but Whitby Trustee Scott Mur-
dock did, proposing the donation
be increased to $250.
Trustee Murdock had asked
education director Grant An-
drews how long the board has
been helping to support the party,
open to all board employees and
trustees.
“As long as I can remember,”
Mr. Andrews replied. “The
Christmas dance has been going
on many,many,many years,long
before I became director.”
Trustee Corey had his own
reply, muttering, “centuries.”
“One hundred dollars was a
lot more valuable a century ago
than it was today,” said Trustee
Murdock, amending the motion
to support a $250 gift.
“I’m shocked,” Trustee Corey
responded. “I never thought any
trustee would take $150 out of
the class and put it towards a
Christmas dance.”
He called for a recorded vote.
Brock-Scugog-Uxbridge
Trustee Fred Jones said he un-
derstands the money wouldn’t
come out of classroom funds,
adding he would donate the
money if he’s mistaken.
Addressing Trustee Murdock,
Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira
said she has served on the din-
ner/dance committee and knows
the hard work staff does to make
it possible, soliciting donations
from businesses and others.
“I hate to say this, because I
do support what they’re doing,
but I don’t think it’s necessary to
boost the funding,” she said.
Trustee Murdock’s amended mo-
tion passed 4-3. Trustees Mur-
dock, Jones, Janice Oldman
(Ajax) and Jim McCafferty
(Pickering) supported it. Voting
against the larger donation were
trustees Corey, Pereira and Mar-
tin (Whitby).
Business superintendent
David Visser confirmed the do-
nation does not come out of
classroom money.
Despite the jokes over the
years,Trustee Corey said he’s se-
rious about the issue. Next year
he plans to ask that the party’s fi-
nancial statistics be presented to
the board.

Ukrainians bring message of progress
Trade and
commerce delegation
from Dnipropetrovs’k
notes charter of
citizen rights was
inspired by Durham
BY JACQUIE MCINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––The mayor of a
Ukrainian city twinned with
Durham says Region officials here
inspired the creation of a charter of
rights of its citizens as the country
moves from a Communist regime
to democratic reform.
“Ten years ago it was a Com-
munist country,” Mayor Ivan
Kulichenko of Dnipropetrovs’k
told regional council last week on
one stop of the delegation’s week-
long tour of the region. “People
went to bed in one country and
woke up in another country. The
last 10 years we really did a lot.”
The delegation was in Durham
to promote trade and commerce
between the Ukrainian city and
business here.
As well, the delegation of mu-
nicipal politicians and community
leaders hoped to learn about west-
ern governance and infrastructure.
Mayor Kulichenko and Durham
Chairman Roger Anderson signed
a memorandum of understanding.
Since a Durham delegation vis-
ited Dnipropetrovs’k two years
ago, the city has adopted a charter
of rights for its citizens, the mayor
said. “There are only three cities in
the Ukraine that now have their
own charters. It is not an easy job.
The Canadian delegation visit
prompted us to develop our own
charter,” he added, noting Mr. An-
derson was “one of the authors” of
the chain of office that was created
in the city’s push for a democratic
form of government.
As a symbol of gratitude,
Mayor Kulichenko presented the
regional chairman with a mace, a
symbol of the power of the assem-
bly.
“Every citizen in our city
knows his rights,” the mayor said.
“They are written down in our
town hall.”
Dnipropetrovs’k is comprised
of eight regions with a total popu-
lation of 1.2 million. The industrial
city, one of the largest and fastest
growing in Ukraine, is well-estab-
lished in iron and meturology, steel
processing and machine building.
It has one plant that manufactures
space rocket parts participating in
an international program with part-
ners that include the United States
and the Russian Federation.
The municipality is hoping to
encourage foreign ownership and
while as a whole, the mayor said,
the Ukraine is not yet a fully secure
country, Dnipropetrovs’k itself is
leading the way in terms of quality
of life and safety for its citizens.
Des Newman, president of
Cametoid Ltd. in Whitby, an-
nounced last week his company is
entering a partnership with a re-
search facility in Dnipropetrovs’k.
Mr. Newman, a former mayor of
Whitby, was largely responsible
for organizing the twinning and
visitations between Durham and
Dnipropetrovs’k in 2000.
Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson exchanges greetings
with Dnipropetrovs’k Mayor Ivan Kulichenko during a meeting
between visiting Ukrainian delegates and local politicians.

Conservation land purchase plan gets good reception
Durham to probe
special casino fund
for environmentally
sensitive areas
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––A plan to put
casino revenues into conserving
the region’s environmentally-
sensitive lands has received a
warm initial reception at re-
gional council and will be in-
vestigated further.
Scugog Mayor Doug Mof-
fatt and Whitby Regional Coun-
cillor Gerry Emm have pro-
posed a plan to take Durham’s
share of earnings from slot ma-
chines at the Great Blue Heron
to purchase environmentally-
sensitive land in Durham.
“This money can be set aside
for all the region as a tool to as-
sist us in building a fund to in-
vest in environmental conserva-
tion of lands as they become
available,” Mayor Moffatt told
regional council last week. The
money earned from the slot ma-
chines “as a budget trimmer has
no real impact,” he said, noting
the revenues when applied to
the tax levy will only chop
about $1.25 off the average res-
ident’s tax bill. But when put to
use to purchase important envi-
ronmental lands, the money, he
said, could do a lot more.
Pickering Councillor Mark
Holland called the plan “laud-
able” and suggested the region-
al finance committee should re-
view it to create a workable
framework in co-ordination
with the local conservation au-
thorities. “Clearly there has
been a deficient amount of
lands brought under the conservation
authority’s public trust and that needs
to be remedied,” Coun. Holland said.
“There are lands we’re going to need to
protect that are important to our water-
shed.”
The Region has already received
$872,035 from the slot machine rev-
enues to date. Mayor Moffatt noted a
$1-million investment by the Region
for roads and infrastructure to accom-
modate the Great Blue Heron has paid
off well.
Council referred the land purchase
proposal to finance for further consid-
eration and preparation.

Be prepared to have the time of your life
For many, enjoying the holi-
day season means leaving the
cold and wet Canadian winter
behind and flying away to a
tropical location blessed with
warm sun and sand.
Cruises are a popular vaca-
tion option because they offer a
variety of entertainment, dining
and day trip options. With a
growing assortment of cruise
lines and packages to choose
from, there is a cruise that
meets the needs and wants of
every traveller. But booking the
trip is only the first step; there is
still a lot of planning to do, in-
cluding what to pack.
Tilley Endurables offers this
advice on how to prepare for a
trip at sea:
• Many cruise lines provide
bath and beach towels and
bathrobes. Check with your
travel agent to avoid packing
unnecessary items;
• Note the dress code. Many
ships have standards of dress in
the dining room and may have
nights where they encourage
guests to “dress up”. Pack
dressier items that are wrinkle-
free, to prevent last-minute
ironing on-board;
• Even warm locales have
the occasional cool evening. Be
sure to pack long-sleeved op-
tions for chilly weather. For
women, twin sets are excellent
for warm and cool weather, of-
fering either a tank top or short-
sleeved shirt with a matching
cardigan for protection against
breezes;
• If planning active day trips,
pack a pair of comfortable
walking shoes;
• Sun safety is a year-round
concern. Always pack a wide-
brimmed, sun-protective hat;
• Advise your travel agent of
any special diet requirements
you have to allow the cruise line
sufficient time to try to meet
your requirements. Also recon-
firm your requirements with the
waiter at your first meal. Check
with your travel agent to see if
kosher meals are available;
• Bring a valid passport and
birth certificate; keep them ac-
cessible at all times;
• U.S. currency and trav-
eller’s cheques are accepted at
most ports;
• Alcoholic beverages and
specialty drinks like cappucci-
nos may not be included in your
fare. Check with your travel
agent to avoid any surprise bills
at check out;
• Required medications
should be kept on your person
at all times, as luggage may not
always be accessible; and
• Many cruise lines allow
electrical appliances on board
such as hair dryers and curling
irons, but be cautious. Some ap-
pliances may require the use of
an adapter.
— News Canada
Cruises are popular winter travel options for Canadians, but proper planning will help you get the most
out of your trip. In these cases, the motto of the Boy Scouts is appropriate: Be prepared.
Canadians not heeding doctors’ sun safety advice
Although more than 90 per
cent of Canadian family doctors
feel the combination of wearing
a wide-brimmed hat in conjunc-
tion with sunscreen is an effec-
tive method of protection against
the sun’s rays, only 21 per cent
of Canadians wear a wide-
brimmed hat every time they go
outdoors or while travelling to
sunny destinations, according to
a recent poll of Canadian family
doctors and the general popula-
tion.
Surprising news, considering
the poll also showed that 94 per
cent of Canadians feel it is im-
portant to protect their skin
against the sun’s rays, including
73 per cent who feel it is very
important.
“Even though we live in
Canada, everyone should still be
protecting their skin against the
sun’s rays,” said Dr. Charlene
Linzon, a dermatologist. “Skin
diseases caused by sun exposure
in Canada are on the rise, yet
Canadians remain reluctant to
practice proper sun safety mea-
sures.”
Doctors know best
Despite ongoing education
efforts, Canadians are not mak-
ing sun safety practices part of
their everyday lives. Family doc-
tors continue to see many pa-
tients with skin conditions as a
result of sun exposure, according
to the poll.
As a result of exposure to the
sun, doctors most often see sun-
burns (61 per cent), skin cancer
(49 per cent), and premature
aging or wrinkles (40 per cent).
Doctors say that an average of 71
per cent of these conditions
could be avoided if patients use
sun protection such as sunscreen
in conjunction with a wide-
brimmed hat.
“Despite awareness of the
dangers of sun exposure — even
when outside for only a short
time or on a cloudy day — peo-
ple still think that sunburns can’t
happen to them. It’s also surpris-
ing how many adults don’t take
the time to protect themselves,
even if they do practice sun safe-
ty with their kids,” said Dr. Lin-
zon. “By simply avoiding peak
sun hours, and using simple sun
safety measures such as applying
effective sunscreens and wearing
wide-brimmed hats, which dra-
matically reduce the harmful im-
pact of the sun’s rays, Canadians
can safely enjoy time spent out-
doors.”
Wisdom comes with age
Of the Canadians polled,
older people are more likely than
others to feel it is very important
to protect their skin from the
sun’s rays and as a result are
more devoted to their sun safety
practices.
Eighty-one per cent of re-
spondents aged 65 and older feel
it is very important to protect
their skin from the sun’s rays,
compared to 61 per cent aged 18
to 24. Additionally, older Cana-
dians are more likely to wear a
wide-brimmed hat usually or
every time they go outdoors —
55 per cent of those 55 and older,
compared to 36 per cent of re-
spondents 18 to 24.
“Sun safety is important at
every age and you don’t need to
be ‘sunbathing’to be affected by
the sun’s rays,” said Dr. Linzon.
“It is particularly important for
young Canadians to protect
themselves from the sun, as
melanoma — one of three types
of skin cancer — is the fourth
most common cancer among
those aged 15 to 34, and can be
lethal if not detected and treated
early.
“In addition, young people
especially don’t seem to realize
that wrinkles and signs of prema-
ture aging result from the sun,
and that a baseball cap doesn’t
give your face the protection it
needs.

Santa deals with the
Mrs. clause in new film
The following movies are
opening opening in theatres this
weekend.
The Santa Clause 2
Directed by Michael Lembeck
Starring Tim Allen, Elizabeth
Mitchell, Spencer Breslin,
Judge Reinhold
Santa Claus begins the search
for the perfect Mrs. Claus.
Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) has
been Santa Claus for the past
eight years, and his loyal elves
consider him the best ever.
But Scott’s got problems. His
son, Charlie, has landed on this
year’s “naughty” list. And Santa
himself is mysteriously de-
Santafying. To top it all off, if
Scott doesn’t get married by
Christmas Eve, he’ll stop being
Santa forever! (It’s right in his
contract - the ‘Mrs. clause.’)
Desperate both to find a wife
and help his son, Scott heads
back home, leaving a substitute
Claus to watch over things at the
Pole.
But when the substitute insti-
tutes some strange redefinitions
of naughty and nice –– putting
Christmas at risk –– it’s up to
Scott to return with a new bag of
magic to try to save Christmas.
I SPY
Directed by Betty Thomas
Starring Eddie Murphy, Owen
Wilson, Malcolm McDowell,
Famke Janssen
Based on the 1960s television
series ‘I Spy,’ when the Switch-
blade, the most sophisticated pro-
totype stealth fighter created yet,
is stolen from the United States
government, one of the country’s
top spies, Alex Scott (Owen Wil-
son), is called to action.
What he doesn’t expect is to
get teamed up with a cocky civil-
ian, world-class boxing champion
Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy),
on a dangerous top-secret espi-
onage mission. Their assign-
ment: using equal parts skill and
humour, catch Arnold Gundars,
one of the world’s most success-
ful illegal arms dealers, and foil
his treacherous plans for the
plane.

Down, but not out
AJAX –– Jordan Bean seems to get the worst end of this
matchup with Derek Kendall in recent major atom action at
the Ajax Community Centre. Jordan and his Ajax-Pickering
Raiders ‘AAA’club were hosting the Richmond Hill Stars.
BY BRIAN McNAIR
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– Life without
soccer just isn’t acceptable to
George Warren.
But, there might not have been
high school soccer available to
boys in Durham Region this fall if
it wasn’t for Warren’s fourth tour
of duty as convener.
Although past experience has
taught him how difficult and time-
consuming the job can be, Warren
wasn’t willing to deal with the
consequences when no one else
stepped to the plate at last June’s
Lake Ontario Secondary Schools
Athletics meeting.
So the 43-year-old Sinclair
Secondary School teacher volun-
teered for a job he had held three
times previously in a 20-year in-
volvement with LOSSA.
“With 43 teams, we had 180
games to run. You’re constantly on
the phone. Plus I’m at Sinclair and
I have my own team to coach
there, so it adds on,” says Warren,
who is helped out in his convening
duties by Notre Dame’s Darren
Hodkinson and Denis O’Connor’s
Lou Sposato.
“There’s a lot of pride when
you’re done, but it’s not a job you
want to do quite easily because
there’s a lot of work.”
The season came to an exciting
- if wet - conclusion recently at
Oshawa Civic Fields, where the
St. Stephen’s juniors and Dunbar-
ton seniors were crowned some-
what surprising champions.
“The level has improved such a
large amount this year and there
were a lot of upsets,” Warren said
during halftime of the senior final.
“The kids are awesome. You hear
some negative things about kids,
but you know what, you’ve got all
these kids out here playing in the
rain. There’s a lot of passion for
school sports.”
Warren had little background in
soccer when he started teaching at
Brock High School 20 years ago.
But when he moved to Ajax
High School the following year, he
took the reins of the junior girls’
team and never let go, staying
heavily involved in the game for
six years at Ajax, 11 more at Dun-
barton and the past two at Sinclair.
“I really like the fact that it’s a
team game,” he says.
“You have the odd celebrity
types, if you will, but if you don’t
have a good defence, you’re not
going to go anywhere. It teaches
the kids a lot from a behaviour
point of view, that you have to
work together for a common
goal.”
Warren also has deep roots in
the community, having coached all
three of his adopted children,
daughters Melissa and Markie
with the Whitby Iroquois Soccer
Club and son Dion with Oshawa
Turul.
“When they came to our family,
there was no choice in what sport
they were going to play because
dad coaches soccer and he’s a bit
of a fanatic,” says Warren, who
lives in Oshawa with wife Linda
and Markie, the youngest of the
children.
“They all picked it up and have
done quite well.”
With Markie set to leave the
nest for Loyalist College next
year, Warren may yet get some
time to fulfil a goal of competing
in a triathlon.
Don’t bet on next spring, how-
ever. He’ll be busy convening
girls’ soccer for LOSSA.
Warren’s been pitching
in for two decades

When it comes to soccer, George Warren, wearing a coat from his
days as coach at Dunbarton High School, admits he’s ‘a bit of a
fanatic’. But that love for the game has served high school soccer
players well over his 20 years involved with the sport. Currently,
he’s in his fourth tour of duty as convener of Lake Ontario Sec-
ondary Schools Athletics boys’soccer.

OSHAWA –– The Oshawa
Dodgers have a much better
leadoff this time around.
Unlike their first season in the
Intercounty Major Baseball
League, when they could be for-
given for getting a late jump, the
Dodgers are well ahead of sched-
ule where their roster is con-
cerned.
Troy May, the team’s owner,
CEO and field manager, has re-
signed the core of the team and
added some young, local talent
as he hopes to build on a promis-
ing first season in which the
Dodgers made the playoffs with
a 14-22 record.
The top of the batting order
— Al Stephens, Darryl Reid,
Ryan Crotin and Ken Calway —
stays intact, bolstered by the ad-
dition of shortstop Mick Kurhan,
who hit .585 for the Oshawa ju-
niors and was named an all-star
at the national championships
this past summer.
On the mound, returnees Nat
Ogbourne, Jamaal Joseph, Adam
Clarke, Darryl Jennings and
Ryan Mellor will be joined by
Steve Butterworth of Bow-
manville, who had a 33-5 career
record as a junior, and Matt
Tosoni of Whitby, who beat
Cuba at this year’s world junior
baseball championships.
“Now that we’ve made the
playoffs, we know what we have
to do,” says May, whose team
stole a spot with a strong finish
and nearly upset Guelph in the
first round of the playoffs. “We
know now that it’s a two-month
grind.”
Butterworth, a righty, and
Tosoni, the lone southpaw signed
to date, will add some much
needed depth to the rotation.
“Steve will probably be one of
the top three guys,” May says of
Butterworth, who is three years
older than Tosoni. “I think Matt
can also be that someday, but
he’s young.”
May says Kurhan is an excep-
tional fielder who will probably
bat sixth in the lineup next sea-
son.
“I think he’ll step right in and
fight for rookie of the year,” May
says. “Mick’s always been a
team leader... He’s just phenom-
enal.”
May, who will also welcome
back coaches Gary Minacs and
Jim Pyzer, hopes to lure Mi-
nacs’s son, Derek, away from a
Cobourg team. If so, Minacs will
likely fill the fifth spot in the
order.
“So far, everybody we’ve
asked to re-sign has re-signed,
which I think is an indication
we’ve had a good product on and
off the field,” says May.
Dodgers on the ball
this time around

DURHAM –– It might
appear from the outside that
Jon Mills has taken a step
back in his golf career.
But that’s not the way the
24-year-old former Brooklin
resident is looking at it.
Coming off a disappoint-
ing result in stage one of
PGA qualifying school and a
so-so season on the Buy.com
tour, Mills says he is now
armed with the knowledge it
will take to realize his dream
of one day playing alongside
the big boys on the PGA tour.
“A lot of guys don’t get to
this point so early,” says
Mills, who played in 19
events on the Buy.com tour,
one step below the PGA tour.
“The quicker you experience
it the better... I know what I
need to do now.”
At this time last year,
Mills was riding high. Fol-
lowing a tremendous college
career at Kent State Universi-
ty, where he was named a
first-team all-American in his
final year, Mills made it all
the way to the third and final
stage of PGA qualifying,
which earned him a condi-
tional Buy.com tour card.
But he struggled for much
of the season, making just
four cuts and earning
$10,523. Then last week, he
missed the cut in stage one of
Q-school, finishing tied for
31st after rounds of 72-73-
69-69 at the WorldWoods
G.C. in Brooksville, Fla.
“I didn’t hit my irons well
all week and I didn’t take ad-
vantage of the par fives,
which I usually do,” Mills,
now living in Pennsylvania
with his fiancée, said of Q-
school. The good news is
Mills has a spot guaranteed
for the 2003 Canadian Tour,
having finished an impressive
66th with $10,650 in earnings
in just five events this past
season. If he’s seeking inspi-
ration, Mills can look to his
friend Derek Gillespie of Os-
hawa, who missed the cut in
stage one of PGA qualifying
last year, but had a tremen-
dous season on the Canadian
Tour, finishing third with
$73,869 in earnings. Gille-
spie, also 24, easily advanced
to stage two of the PGA’s Q-
school last week.
“Having that type of year
really increased his confi-
dence,” says Mills, who spent
time with Gillespie a month
ago in California.Despite
the Gillespie example, Mills
says he may forego some
Canadian Tour events to try
to qualify for more Buy.com
events.
“I had a great time and
met a lot of people,” he says.
“The atmosphere is just in-
credible... You learn a lot of
things out there.”
Mills was ranked 28th in
driving distance on the
Buy.com tour this season
(295.8 yard average) and he
was also pleased with his
short game. So it isn’t diffi-
cult to determine what he
needs to do next year.
“Distance doesn’t really
matter, you have to hit the
fairways,” he says. “I have to
tone it down a bit and get
more accurate... If your accu-
racy improves, everything
else improves.”
Looking into his crystal
ball, Mills envisions the day
in the not-too-distant-future
he will be teeing it up on the
PGA tour. “I’m still very con-
fident about that,” Mills says.
“Even though I had a tough
year, that’s still very much
my target.”

AJAX –– It was another long night for
the Telus Lightning during National
Women’s Hockey League action at the
Ajax Community Centre. The local squad
dropped a 6-1 decision to the Brampton
Thunder, running its record to 0-9-0, last
in the league. Going on the offensive is
Brook Whitney (3) of Brampton, as Jen-
nifer Kearney, left, and goaltender Jen-
nifer Piitz keep a close eye on her next
move. Marcie Deering scored the Telus
goal on a feed from Nikki Leone.
