L Page A4 ♦ THE CANADIAN STATESMAN ♦ August 16,2006 durhamregion.com Donor disappointed by CBS decision From page A1 lion," said Renee Naiman, Regional Director of Canadian Blood Services in a letter to This Week. "However, because the tests are so sensitive, in some cases, they react non-specifically with proteins in people's blood and the result comes up 'reactive' (positive). When we then confirm the test using a different, more specific assay that has different sensitivity sensitivity levels, it will not confirm positive and that is what we refer to as a 'false positive'." Those who have received a false positive may still qualify to be a potential bone marrow donor, said Ms. Naiman. People tend to take ineligibility personally, said Mr. Bromley. "Because it's such a personal thing - they lecl that this just isn't right, it was a mistake," he said. But, "Canadians have told us over and over again that they're happy with the way we're running the system." But, the situation doesn't make a lot of sense to Ms. Johnston. "I'm disappointed because I felt good about donating donating and this is just a bunch of red tape," she said. "I could easily donate for the next 25 to 30 years; that's a lot of blood that they won't get now." - with files from Jillian Folk'll Thousands take in the madness From page A1 more than 5,000 people, ready to meet and greet their fellow Bowmanville residents, Mr. Patterson said. "You really get that warm fuzzy feel of historic downtown Bowmanville." There were two professional acts at the evening event, Nickelkicker Comedy and Morgan Magician, Magician, but busking was this year's focus. Ten amateur buskers, from acoustic to rock and roll, lined the streets hoping people would drop a few coins in their hats or guitar cases. Public input sought From page A1 bished separately, with the first to start about 2014. The other units would be done over the following eight to 10 years. If refurbished, the reactors could remain in service until 2060. "The decision to go ahead with' a life extension won't be known until the end of the business case study," Ms. Mclnnes says, adding that wouldn't be until 2008. The CNSC is releasing the draft guidelines that will have to be followed while conducting the EA. "The process is governed and managed by the CNSC. They provide the guidelines" and OPG is still waiting for the regulator to issue them, she adds. Refurbishing the units involves replacing such components components as steam generators, feeder pipes, calandria tubes and fuel channels. "Lots of public input" will be part of the process, Ms. Mclnnes states. "There's an open house, a newsletter, a website and information displays in the information centre. There will be many, many vehicles for the public to • get information and to give it." ' Maura Mapes and Angie Cain were one of the busking acts and said they were happy to have been included. "Bowmanville does so many festivals and we arc really excited to be apart of this one," Ms. Cain said. The ladies needed to submit an application with a demo in order to be considered and are glad they did because Midnight Madness was a great way to share their acoustic sound. "We've never done this before, but it was something something we wanted to do and it turned out to be an awesome event," said Ms. Cain.
