"You, sir, are one of the most selfish and vain people that I have ever come across to the ex- tent that you murdered your wife who was carrying your un- born child to satisfy your own personal whims," Mr. Justice Robert Scott admonished the 32-year-old, after ordering him to stand for sentencing. "You are a self-admitted liar and thief and now add to that a murderer...

Raise concerns over strategic planning process BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Three public school board trustees complained Monday the board's strategic planning process didn't have enough involvement from trustees. Education director Craig Burch, at the stand- ing committee meeting, said after four years it was time to once again review the board's 'Durham Di- rections' document. "Ours is an excellent plan" compared to other school boards which have excellent plans, he said. "I don't think we need to recreate the wheel." He outlined the review process in a report Uxbridge-Brock Trustee Nancy Loraine con- tributed to. Focus groups representing board stake- holders would provide input to board senior staff and trustees, who would fi- nalize the plan. "I find that totally unac- ceptable that one trustee sat on the background of this," said Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said the review process should have been set up through the trustees. He said while the outline appears to be "a good start", trustees might have opted for more board member involvement. Mr. Burch said the docu- ment was "a draft propos- al" trustees could alter, even inviting them to do so. "It's my job to put some- thing in front of you to have something to look at," he said. Trustee Crawford said trustees could set up their own review "and pick (the strategic plan) apart if we want." Trustees do have an op- portunity to have input on the process, said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper, adding, "I don't think we should get caught up be- cause one trustee's name is on there." Martin Demmers, the Scugog trustee, suggested the process include a trustee focus group. "The trustees are the last and most important focus group," replied Mr. Burch. "If you form a focus group at the same time as school community coun- cils and other people, they may view that their sug- gestions are not as val- ued." Trustee Demmers sug- gested perhaps the trustee focus group could come near the end of the process, next fall, but Trustee Shetler said it should be sooner. "This document should have been put through by more than one trustee," she said. "This should be totally trustee driven. Trustees should be in- volved in this from begin- ning to end." Trustee Shetler mo- tioned for a trustee focus group as part of the stake- holder review. Trustee Loraine, board chairman Elizabeth Roy and Whitby Trustee Doug Ross did not support the idea. Trustee Roy explained because she was asked to be the trustee representa- tive, but could not due to the birth of her child, she instead asked Trustee Lo- raine to fill in for her. "If I want to, I will take the opportunity to attend any of the focus group meetings," said Trustee Roy. With eight trustees at the meeting, a 4-4 vote de- feated Trustee Shetler's motion. Trustee Roy's mo- tion to accept the report passed. The revised plan is to come before trustees in November, with final ap- proval slated for that month's board meeting. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6 2003 PAGE 3 A/P L ANDSCAPE Y OUR Y A R D 10-19 P lants* Great Plants & Great People... ...30 + Years and Growing... •Garden Design/ Consultation •Landscape/Pond Installations •Planting/Delivery 2215 Brock Rd.

That's the situation at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital as health officials declare the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) situa- tion has peaked. "The pressure is starting to come off, in terms of vol- ume. It's a little bit easier, but still busy," said hospi- tal spokesman Katie Cronin-Wood. As of yesterday morning, there were no probable and no suspect cases in Ajax. There was one under investigation and seven patients in respiratory iso- lation, she added. The seven were placed in isolation as a precaution, Ms. Cronin-Wood stated. Clinic and elective ap- pointments are being rescheduled and hospital staff is in the process of contacting patients. Each patient can now re- ceive one visitor a day. The hours are 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. All visitors and out-pa- tients have to enter through the west wing en- trance, which is off Centen- nial Road, while staff and physicians come in through the east entrance, off Harwood Avenue. Stairs have been installed outside to connect the east and west sides of the build- ing. Anyone arriving on public transit or parking in the eastern parking lot can use the stairs to reach the west entrance, she said. Also, "anyone visiting is wearing a mask," Ms. Cronin-Wood stated. Staff working in clinical areas never stopped wear- ing masks and were dou- bling up in protective wear in high-risk areas, she added.

This week, Mr. Bates plans to fit in a visit to his brother-in-law's grave while taking in the official opening of the Juno Beach Centre in Normandy, France. The centre hon- ours Canadian soldiers, who landed there on D- Day, June 6, 1944. He and fellow veteran Hal Whitten are heading up a group made up of members from the 2525 Pickering Army Cadets, 244 Harwood Sea Cadets, 856 Pickering Air Cadets and Pickering councillors Dave Ryan and Bill McLean. Coun. Ryan is quick to point out the two politi- cians in the group are pay- ing their own ticket, while travel, accommodation and the cost of the tour for the remaining 18 others is being covered by commu- nity donations. "The cadets will get some insight as to what hap- pened," he said. "And I think having two vets along will make for a very person- al experience." Mr. Whitten, a member of Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606 in Pickering, didn't wish to speak about his trip back to Juno Beach. But Mr. Bates said he was taken by surprise when his son called him in Florida over the winter to tell him of the invitation. "I thought it was a big joke," said Mr. Bates, a past president of the Claremont Legion. He's been to Holland five times over the years but this is his first trip to France. The group left June 1 and spent most of the week visiting various commemo- rative sites and battlefield locations before accompa- nying Pickering vet Jan de Vries to the centre's open- ing ceremonies Friday, car- rying both the corps and City banners. Mr. de Vries, 79, dropped into Normandy with the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion on D-Day, is a di- rector with the Juno Beach Centre.

Aquiyla Rumble left her Pickering home Thursday, May 29 to attend Fairport Beach Public School, said Durham Regional Police. A fellow student spotted her near the school at around 8:38 a.m. but police have no idea where she went next. Aquiyla has left home be- fore, returning on her own, police report. Family mem- bers have called her friends and checked the places she fre- quents, but all have failed to turn up the teen. She is described as 5-foot- 5, 90 pounds, and has a small build, dark brown, medium- length curly hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wear- ing a navy blue T-shirt, shorts, black and blue Nike running shoes and a light powder blue tie-dyed jacket.

They can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Aquiyla Rumble has been missing since last week. Final push ends next week BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––With negotia- tions in Vienna just two weeks away, the final deci- sions in Ottawa are taking place on whether to back Canada's bid to host the $12-billion ITER fusion re- search facility in Claring- ton. Earlier this week, Minis- ter of Natural Resources Herb Dhaliwal met with federal cabinet ministers from Ontario. Proponents of the project are expect- ing Mr. Dhaliwal would have heard support for fi- nancial backing, according to Clarington Mayor John Mutton who said, "I think he will hear he should be championing ITER." With intense lobbying ef- forts from the community, business, politicians and scientists over the past few weeks, never have the members of parliament been so aware and educat- ed on the project, says Murray Stewart, president of ITER Canada, the non- profit organization leading Canada's bid internation- ally alongside the federal government negotiators. "For the first time they (MPs) are very clear on the view of the Canadian scientific community," on the International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) he says, referring to a new study conducted by 29 scientists. The report, written for the federal and provincial gov- ernment, was headed by Bob Birgeneau, president of the University of Toron- to and former dean of sci- ence at Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology. "The view of the very broad- based scientific communi- ty was ITER is the right approach," says Dr. Stew- art. Every concern raised about the project by the MPs was addressed during more than 20 meetings held last week in Ottawa, says Gary Polonsky, presi- dent of the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology and Iter Communi- ty Council chairman. "There's no doubt they know about us, they know we were there, they know they're being watched and they know there's lots of support," adds Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son. Some of the reassur- ances the Durham delega- tion, local MPs and Iter Canada provided to the MPs and Ottawa staffers included: • the benefits of ITER to other provinces outside Ontario, including $1.3 bil- lion for Quebec, where in- vestment was lost in 1997 when a national fusion program near Montreal was mothballed; • the cost of ITER will be far outweighed by $10- billion investment in this country through construc- tion, research and devel- opment and spin-off in- dustry; • the written commit- ment of the Ontario gov- ernment to invest 50 per cent of all Canada's project costs, regardless of whether the Conservatives or Liberals form the next provincial government; • ITER is a research fa- cility to develop an energy source that is clean, safe and supportive of Kyoto g uidelines, endorsed by the federal government. Adrian Foster of the Clarington Business Group and the Iter Com- munity Council is urging residents to help give the project one last push as the federal members con- sider their decision. The organization has a petition on its Web site where com- munity members can send a letter directly to Ottawa at www.itercommunity.com. As well, he is urging peo- ple to call or email Ontario cabinet ministers Allan Rock 613-947-5000, John Manley 613-992-3269 and David Collenette 613-995- 4988. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6 2003 PAGE 5 A/P You are inv ited to our A nnual Spring Fling Open House Sunday, June 8, 2003 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Join us in the Celebration! • Entertainment • Refreshments • Door Prizes • Tours of the Home Hope to See You T h ere! 20 Centre St. N.

The future of the planet was at stake and these soldiers gave everything they had in the battle that changed histo- ry. And today, all these years later, the spectacular Juno Beach Centre opens at Courseulles-sur-Mer, France, with Prime Minister Jean Chretien on hand to do the honours. The $8-million centre is a lasting tribute to those who fought to free the world from the grip of tyranny. For those too young to remember, the significance of D- Day might be hard to grasp, so comprehensive was its im- pact on millions across the globe. Until June 6, 1944 most of Europe since 1939 had been in the grip of the Nazis, who had begun their evil 'final solu- tion' of murdering Jews throughout the continent. The buildup to the invasion, which involved hundreds of thou- sands of soldiers from Canada, the United States and Great Britain, took several months and involved a massive amount of preparation and work. There was no guarantee of success for the Allies in this daring move. But D-Day worked, though at a terrible cost in lives and suffering. After vicious fighting that went on for many days and weeks, the Allies broke through and began the process that saw the war in Europe end 11 months later. It was the ultimate turning point in a war that saw 50 million die over a six-year period. Of the 21,000 Canadian soldiers who landed at Juno Beach, 359 died. Another 574 were wounded and 47 were taken prisoner. In all, during the Second World War, 45,000 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice. The Juno Beach Centre is a tremendous lasting tribute to all those Canadians who truly believed the cause of free- dom was worth fighting and dying for. The centre features more than just a snapshot of the events of D-Day. It offers a tour of the events that led up to the outbreak of the war, what happened on the actual day, other battles that took place during the Second World War, and discusses where the country is today. Like the moving and magnificent monument to the First World War bravery of Canadians at Vimy Ridge, the Juno Beach Centre salutes our Second World War veterans. In today's paper you'll find our own Juno Beach section offering a snapshot of the centre and stories from veter- ans who were there and are there today to attend the opening. We owe them everything. Some seniors need tax relief TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Note to Tories: Seniors do care about education,' letter to the editor. As the mother of school-aged chil- dren, it's nice to hear seniors care about education. I'm grateful people like Vernon Maw are committed to the education of young people and are willing to be generous in their commit- ment. However, he also must know that a large number of his peers struggle fi- nancially with small, fixed incomes. Al- though no less committed to the edu- cation of young people, they face se- vere f inancial hardship and possibly even the loss of homes because of taxes that continue to rise beyond any raise in income they may enjoy. It is simply not just to place this burden on them. Those seniors who enjoy financial security and wish to contribute to edu- cation can always give directly to their local schools. I would venture to say the money could be put to much better use di- rectly in the classroom without having to go through government bureaucra- cy first. There are also other ways seniors can contribute to the education of young people besides just giving money. They can volunteer at the schools and be mentors to young stu- dents -- that is a contribution beyond value.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, JUNE 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com To Canada, via Africa and India At some time or other, we've all heard those words: 'Land of my forefathers'. They evoke powerful feelings, and they resonate of deep roots, of long history and culture. After an absence of over 30 years, I too returned to the prover- bial land of my forefathers - Africa, Uganda to be exact. Te c hnically, though, racially being of Indian descent, did Africa really qualify as the land of my fore- fathers? By process of elimination, 'Why not?' It so happens, that even at the zenith of the British Raj in India, the British were still develop- ing the rest of their colonial empire. And so it was that they sent young, able-bodied Indian men to East Africa, to build railroads. Amongst the thousands who either volun- teered or were enticed to go, was my great-grandfather, Abdulla Sidik, a young strapping boy of 17, who left behind family, friend and foe, never to return to his birthplace. And so it was that his progeny, my grandfa- ther, my father, and I came to call Uganda our birthplace. 'Indian' men, born in black Africa, called 'British Protected Persons', and 'Ugandan citizens' by birth. The fragility of Ugandan birthright citizenship became all too apparent with the political exo- dus of all Indians out of Uganda by the dictator Idi Amin in 1972. The revocation of the 'British Protected Person' identity came suddenly and without warning from the United Kingdom, when, after accepting al- most 60,000 Indians, it refused us entry. Now confirmed as 'Stateless', we spent the next two years as 'Refugees' in Spain. No work, no school, no entry to the U.K. Finally, as an act of desperation, my par- ents, Ebrahim and Zulekha, accept- ed immigration to Canada, a land they knew nothing about, other than that they spoke English there. And so it was we came to Canada in the cold March of 1974, penniless and anxious, but now known as 'Landed Immigrants'. Fast forward to the early 80s and we were now proudly calling ourselves 'Canadian Citizens'. Prerequisite was a trip to the automotive section of Canadian Tire, ("Here's your Canadian Tire money sir") to purchase a Canadian flag decal to display proudly on the rear of our 'new' used car. In 2003, I look back and sigh with contentment and take a deep breath of pride, knowing that today, tomorrow and forever more, my three kids, born in Canada, will al- ways be known just as 'Canadians.' So what's in a name? Well, when it's Canada, it's everything. Thanks Canada. A resident of Ajax, Mohamed Karatella is a member of the Ajax Race Relations Advisory Commit- tee.

She told trustees the audit of the 'intensive support amount', which is Education Ministry funding, is bearing fruit in the form of more money for special education students. "This fall we will have one more ISA audit to go through and I am convinced that we will be even more successful," said Ms. Beaton. She said SEAC is hoping the board's special education review will address some of SEAC's concerns. "All of this new money that we are receiving won't amount to a hill of beans if we are unable to hire speech and language pathologists, psy- chologists and psychome- trists to handle the number of students who we have still on waiting lists for assessments and service," sad Ms. Beaton. "SEAC is hoping that the special education review of programs and services that is now under way will be able to address some of these con- cerns." www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6 2003 PAGE 7 A/P OR (416) 750-0472 (905) 831-6464 PETER’S ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING ONLY Summer SpecialSummer Special MAXIMUM INSURANCE SAVINGS $$275275.00.00 PLUS GSTMinistry Approved Driver Education Course • 25 Hours in an MTO approved classroom • 15 private in-car lesson on automatic •FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction • FREE progress report card • EARLIER ROAD TEST NEW LOCATION 1050 BROCK ROAD UNIT # 10 PICKERING, ON L1W 3X4 PICKERING LOCATION HOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK 10 AM - 10 PMCALL NOW!

For more information about the tour, call Barb Hayward at 905-434- 2415. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6 2003 PAGE 9 A/P BByy JJeennnniiffeerr SSttoonnee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Though it’s not legal for under-19s to buy ciga- rettes, a trip to any local high school on lunch hour shows stu- dents are fulfilling their nicotine fix. “Most of the time, I get them, but sometimes, some store own- ers aren’t that nice,” said Sarah McCormick, 16, as she stood just off school property at St. Stephen’s Secondary School in Bowmanville. Sarah was enjoy- ing a quick puff with a group of other smokers on her lunch break on a recent sunny after- noon. But there are ways around store clerks who enforce the law, she says. “There are usually people around here who will go buy them” for those under the legal age, she says. Under the Tobacco Control Act, supplying cigarettes to mi- nors, whether it be a store clerk selling to those under 19 or a sympathetic adult making the purchase on an underager’s be- half, the consequence if caught is the same - a $4,000 maximum f ine for first offence. Corpora- tions whose clerks sell to under- agers can also face a fine of up to $10,000. Catching those sup- plying to minors is not left up to chance, says John Ingrao, Durham Region’s Tobacco Prosecutions and Enforcement Officer. “I have a requirement under the law to test shop 10 to 20 per cent of vendors per year,” says Mr. Ingrao. Vendors with previ- ous histories of either violations or complaints are tested at least once annually. “I have a group of young test shoppers,” says Mr. Ingrao. The students carry no identifica- tion, can’t lie about their age, and can’t enter into discussions with the vendor, he notes, adding the test shoppers are all well under the legal age to pur- chase cigarettes. “Generally, I retire them when they’re 16 or 17.” Test shopping is part of the Not To Kids program, under which vendors receive educa- tional packages, including an instructional video, to help en- sure store clerks aren’t selling cigarettes to those under 19. “That is making a difference in the industry, because they now know we are taking it seri- ously,” says Mr. Ingrao. “They know if they are selling to mi- nors, they will be burnt.” So far, test shopping with Mr. Ingrao’s paid recruits shows about an 85 per cent compli- ance rate. But on a recent Mon- day afternoon, it looked like vendors were doing even better than that. Greg Jeeves, a 17-year-old Grade 12 student from Newcas- tle, visited 10 stores between Bowmanville and Oshawa’s western border for This Week. But in spite of his attempts, and though it often seemed he would be able to purchase ciga- rettes, Greg came away empty- handed. “A c ouple of stores actually g rabbed the cigarettes, put them down, started to ring them in, and then said no,” says Greg. Store owner Diana Lee, of The Pantry on Park Road in Os- hawa, says she checks everyone who doesn’t look of age. Over- agers should take it as a compli- ment, she says. “You feel sorry if they’re over,” she said after denying Greg cig- arettes. “But when you look young, it’s a good sign. “I have kids; I don’t want to see underage smoking,” says Ms. Lee. Smoking on school property is also an issue, says Mr. Ingrao, noting he spends one day a week in youth court, dealing with students under the age of 16 who are caught smoking on school grounds. Those over 16 caught smoking on school property could re- ceive a ticket and a fine, while those under 16 must be sum- moned to youth court with their parents. The judge determines the penalty. But Mr. Ingrao says the point of charging these students isn’t so much about punishing them, but finding ways to encourage them to break the habit. “It breaks my heart to see them smoke,” says Mr. Ingrao, a reformed smoker. The group that gathers on the edge of school property for a smoke during breaks is a sight that troubles Clarington trustee Joe Neal, of the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board. “You see the kids running out of the school; they’ve got a butt in their mouth already,” says Mr. Neal. “What are we doing to dis- courage this? Not a lot.” Though students are already prohibited from smoking on school property, he says he’d like to take the rules a step fur- ther. “My idea is that, even though it was still on public property, we should have it in our policy that you’re not allowed to smoke within so many metres of a school, or we could make them sign out before they leave school property, something to make it that much more diffi- cult,” says Mr. Neal. But students will find a way around the rules one way or an- other, say members of the group gathered around the ‘smoking area’ near St. Stephen’s. “People are going to smoke no matter what,” says Heather Yeo, 16, who does not smoke but has friends who do. She says there are always people willing to break the rules. “Some people’s friends work at convenience stores, so if their friend is working, they can get them,” she says. Worse yet, there are even some parents who will supply youths, says Angela Smart, 16. “It’s really easy to get ciga- rettes,” she says. “Some of my friends’ moms will buy them.” It all comes down to kids pushing limits, says Peter Bon- shent, a 14-year-old who says he’s been smoking for two years. “If somebody tells you you can’t do something, it’s your pri- mal instinct to do it,” he says. Quick facts from The Lung Association of Ontario • The 1999 Ontario Student Drug Use Survey by the Centre for Addic- tion and Mental Health shows 29.2 per cent of students reported smok- ing more than one cigarette in the last year, while 22.6 per cent, or 208,600 Ontario students, smoked daily. • Though rates of smoking re- mained stable between 1995 and 1999, the 1999 rate was significantly higher than those found in 1993 and 1991. • One-third of smokers report- ed dependence on cigarettes, which is indicated by smoking within 30 minutes of waking in the morning. More information on youth non- smoking initiatives can be found on the Lung Association Web site at www.on.lung.ca. Saying ‘no’ to teen smoking Cigarette vendors are diligent in refusing to sell tobacco to kids under 19 A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Greg Jeeves, 17, tried to buy cigarettes at 10 variety stores between Bow- manville and Oshawa in an experiment. Diligent store clerks, who know it’s il- legal to sell tobacco to anyone under 19, refused him every time.

This year's theme for sun safety is prevention of malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma is a skin cancer caused by unpro- tected exposure to the sun, which commonly affects the back and legs. In 2002 the Canadian Cancer So- ciety estimated the number of new cases of malignant melanoma to be 3,900 nationally and the number of deaths associated with the disease to be 840. Melanoma was the tenth most common cancer among Durham Region men and eighth most com- mon among women from 1996 to 2000 according to a 2003 health de- partment report. The health department offers the following recommendations to help reduce the risk of damage to exposed skin. 1. L imit time spent in the sun be- tween the hours of 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. 2. Seek shade or create your own shade by using umbrellas or other objects. 3. Cover up with protective cloth- ing and wear a hat. 4. Wear sunglasses that provide both UVA and UVB protection. 5. Use sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher. 6. Keep babies under 12 months of age out of direct sunlight. 7. See a health care professional for abnormal or suspicious skin changes. To obtain more information on sun safety call the health depart- ment at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841- 2729 ext. 2272 or visit http://health.region.durham.on.ca or www.region.durham.on.ca Join the discussion at durhamregion.com County Town Singers play Holy Trinity AJAX ––The Church of the Holy Trinity is adding a county feel this month.

GO Transit has kicked off its VIP (Very Important Passenger) button campaign with local transit part- ners around the Golden Horseshoe. Along with Ajax Pickering Tran- sit, Oshawa Transit, Whitby Transit, and seven other local transit sys- tems around Ontario, GO is giving away two prize packs every business day for two weeks to lucky VIP com- muters who are riding local transit to or from their GO station while wearing their special VIP button. The buttons were distributed May 20-30 at GO stations and on local transit buses. Local transit spotters will be out roaming the systems in search of winners. Each prize pack consists of a free GO Transit July monthly pass and free local transit for the month of July. GO says the campaign is designed to thank passengers who ride local transit and celebrate clean-air com- muting on June 4, Clean Air Day. As an added incentive to try local transit, GO has fare integration agreements with its 10 transit part- ners in the campaign subsidizing up to 75 per cent of the local transit fare to and from the GO station.

Moments earlier, the Beaton Way resi- dent bowed his head in the prisoner dock as the jury foreman read the verdict at 7:40 p.m.: "Guilty of first-degree murder." When asked if he had anything to say before sentencing, Mr. Raghunauth mut- tered, "Nope." Mrs. Raghunauth was 10 weeks preg- nant with the couple's second child when her husband of six years drugged her with sedatives and force-fed enough cyanide to kill 64 people, prosecutors Frank Gior- dano and Cindy Johnston said. "Scum," whispered a relative of the vic- tim as officers led Mr. Raghunauth out of the courtroom on a leash, wearing hand- cuffs and leg shackles. Radika Somnath, Geeta's mother, sobbed inconsolably and collapsed into the arms of family members. "Oh God. How could you kill her?" she cried. She and her husband, Somnath, are now raising their grandson Dave, who was 15 months old when his mother died at the hands of his father. Sundar Somnath, one of the victim's four brothers, thanked and praised Durham Regional Police, prosecutors and the jury of eight men and four women. "I feel good. I'm glad my sister got jus- tice," he said. It was the first known case of murder by poisoning in Durham. "There haven't been a great many poi- soning cases in Ontario, and I don't even know if there has ever been one involving cyanide in this province," said lead inves- tigator Detective Sergeant Steve Illing, head of the homicide unit. Ms. Johnston and Mr. Giordano said Mr. Raghunauth was motivated by money and marital freedom. He carried on a year-long affair with a New York woman, Indira Seonarain - one of several mistresses he confessed to dur- ing testimony - and the couple was secret- ly engaged in the U.S. three weeks before the murder. "It was a crime of greed. He had his girl- friend waiting in the wings and he needed his wife out of the way, so much so he did- n't care about anything and anyone, in- cluding his unborn child," said Det. Sgt. Illing. "He was willing to kill his wife to start a new life." Ms. Seonarain and Mr. Raghunauth discussed cyanide in July 2000 during po- lice-intercepted phone conversations in which he coached her to lie to in- vestigators and destroy evidence of their affair. Jurors were never told Ms. Seonarain's com- puter, seized in New York by police, re- vealed 192 Internet searches under "cyanide" in July and August. "You want to talk... get in touch with my lawyer," she told detectives. In one wiretapped phone call Mr. Raghunauth made from Whitby Jail he told Ms. Seonarain, "Did I ever tell you that you're my life" and that he loved her. "You haven't heard it in a long time... get accustomed to it again," he said. Ms. Seonarain replied, "Let's not count our chickens before they hatch." She also feared being charged as an ac- cessory to his wife's murder. Ms. Seonarain offered to testify for the Crown in exchange for full immunity, court heard in the jury's absence. Prosecutors refused. She faces obstruc- tion charges if she enters Canada. Meanwhile, Mr. Justice Scott said he'll recommend to immigration authorities Mr. Raghunauth be deported back to his native Guyana after his sentence is served, noting evidence he lied on his citizenship papers when he came to Canada in 1994. Mr. Raghunauth can apply under the "faint hope" clause of the Criminal Code for early parole after 15 years. On the day of her death, court heard, Mr. Raghunauth cooked his wife a "special Mother's Day treat" of duck, fish chicken and rice. The Crown said he laced the meal with Temazepam, rendering her semi-con- scious, and then force-fed her enough cyanide to kill her 64 times over. Cyanide is one of the world's deadliest chemicals, which causes excruciating death by suffocation within minutes, court was told. Mr. Raghunauth called 911 at 2:22 p.m. claiming he came home from buying a Mother's Day gift to find her dead in the upstairs bathroom. Cellphone records showed he spoke to Ms. Seonarain at 2:14 p.m., eight minutes before the 911 call. Initially, an autopsy failed to determine the cause of death and police had no rea- son to suspect foul play. That would change four days later when police received a pair of anonymous Crime Stoppers tips, drawing homicide detectives into the probe. Jurors were never told the key role Crime Stoppers played in the case, spark- ing the murder probe. "Until then there was no reason for sus- picion, nothing cried out that this was a crime. (The tips) started the investigative ball rolling," said Det. Sgt. Illing. The anonymous calls suggested Mr. Raghunauth poisoned his wife and made odd inquiries about drugs and cyanide at work in the months prior to her death. The results of toxicology tests complet- ed two weeks later confirmed cyanide, triggering an exhaustive police investiga- tion that included interviewing 260 wit- nesses from Ontario, New York, New Jer- sey and Guyana, 45 search warrants and high-tech tactics such as a satellite (GPS) tracking device to monitor Mr. Raghu- nauth's movements. On June 28, as an arrest neared, Mr. Raghunauth packed up bags of clothing, jewelry, mortgage insurance documents, certified cheques and foreign currency and drove to the U.S. border at Niagara Falls. The GPS surveillance device planted on his Toyota Four-Runner alerted police, and he was arrested as he tried to cross into the U.S., court heard. Mr. Justice Scott praised homicide de- tectives for a "dogged investigation" that unearthed a mountain of circumstantial evidence. Court heard Mr. Raghunauth plotted his wife's murder for months, researching drugs and cyanide and inquiring about ER procedures at York Central Hospital, where he worked as an accounts receiv- able analyst before being fired for fraud. Faced with mounting debt, he mur- dered his wife to escape financial and family burdens before beginning a new life with Ms. Seonarain in the U.S. Killing Mrs. Raghunauth was like "win- ning a lottery," said Mr. Giordano, refer- ring to a $160,000 mortgage insurance claim. Mr. Raghunauth, who said he felt "morally" responsible for his wife's death, first told police she died from "voodoo," and at trial claimed it was suicide. While evidence didn't clearly establish where he got the cyanide, an empty wind- shield wiper fluid jug found in the garbage during a search of the house June 12, 2000 revealed the presence of cyanide gas. C yanide is used in the gold plating process and was stored in large contain- ers at a Scarborough jewelry plant where Mr. Raghunauth once worked. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P ‘Sister got justice’ Over the course of Ganesh Raghunauth’s first-degree murder trial, court heard numerous tales of deceit on his part.

Your mind starts going through all the potential possibilities for this new gardening vision, however no grand scheme appears and the question lingers: What can be created in this space that will add a unique statement? The answer, simply stated, is to incorporate a water feature such as a freestanding fountain or a pond. The soothing sound of trickling water will add another dimension for your senses to appreciate and will help to both restore and revive your spirit. Water features also present interesting opportunities for landscape design and the addition of different nursery and perennial plants as well as ornamental grasses. From a classic cement fountain to a functional birdbath or an in-ground pond, the possibility to incorporate a water feature into the garden is limited only by imagination and vision. Freestanding fountains on their own add a visual impact in any area of the garden. Or, entire theme-based gardens can be incorporated around this water accent feature. For a formal look, position the fountain in its own garden bed and plant a neat and tidy boxwood hedge to frame and accent the visual impact. For fountains of a whimsical nature, such as a ground level tulip-shaped vase, ornamental grasses such as Black Mondo or Japanese Blood Grass can be used to achieve similar results. Birdbaths or bird-accented fountains can be used in a more informal manner and plant material around these features should reflect this. Plant-flowering shrubs such as Double File Viburnum or Cotoneaster will add to the visual appeal while attracting birds to the fall berries. The addition of a pond adds a dramatic focal point in any garden area and can be as small or large as space dictates. Areas close to a backyard deck or patio can be ideal for a small pond, where both the melody of running water and the shimmer of reflection can be enjoyed. In an eastern exposure, plant showpiece specimens such as Inabi Shidare, Japenese Maple or Weeping Norway Spruce, surrounded by the clean lines of Stella D’Oro Daylilies or the new Heuchera Amber Waves. Larger ponds can also have a waterfall addition and appeal to us due to not only their dramatic statement, but also for the sense of creating our own natural piece of paradise in the middle of suburbia. For added drama, incorporate the movement of ornamental grasses such as Miscanthus Gracimillus or Morning Light. Fountains, birdbaths and ponds are welcome additions that will compliment and enhance a wide variety of garden visions while reviving our spirits with the melody of running water and the ever-changing shimmers of mirrored reflections.

The students from high schools across the region attended 'Getting to Wo r k', held at the Durham District School Board's education centre. They heard from local employ- ers, attended workshops and finished the day with a career fair. Co-organizer Julian Luke said the idea for the symposium was to offer students "quick and tar- geted workshops" lasting half an hour, not to sit them down and lecture to them for an hour at a time. The workshop top- ics included, 'be your own boss,' 'resume building' and 'customer service – it's not a dirty word.' "We marketed it to stu- dents who were intending to go into the work force," he said. Mr. Luke said the em- ployers at the start of the day spoke about what they want to see in an em- ployee, emphasizing soft skills such as dependabili- ty and punctuality. The employers also re- lated their first job experi- ences to demonstrate that everybody has to start somewhere – and that usually means at the bot- tom. "We didn't want to leave the young people think- ing, 'how am I going to get a job like that’," said Mr. Luke, noting the panel's first jobs were humble be- g innings such as grass cutting, washing dishes and delivering newspa- pers. One of the aims of the event was to show young people there are a lot of resources out there to help them find a job. William Jordan, owner of Business Training Wo rkshops in Whitby, was volunteering at the event on behalf of the Durham Region Local Training Board. "We're looking at im- proving retail sales train- ing in Durham Region," he said. Mr. Jordan said high school seniors are ideal targets for such training, noting most sales associ- ates are 16 to 24 years of age. Asked if they have the skills to step into such a job, he said he finds they need to learn hands-on things like how to main- tain self-control when dealing with an irate cus- tomer, noting it isn't taught in school. Andrea Perrin and Danielle Douglas, two Grade 12 students at An- derson Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute in Whit- by, were among the stu- dents taking part. Danielle isn't heading out into the workforce just yet: she plans to go back to high school for a semester and maybe a full year. When she leaves, however, Danielle knows what she wants to do. "I want to be an entre- preneur; I want to be a fashion designer," she said. Andrea isn't sure yet. I'm exploring," she said. "I want to figure out just what I want to do." Mr. Luke said job prospects for this year's graduates are better for having attended Getting to Work. "I think they're excellent if they have taken time to learn what works," he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6 2003 PAGE 17 A/P SPRING IS HERE AND IT’S TIME AGAIN TO THINK ABOUT CLEANING out the winter dust. Everyone does this at home and we do it at Pickering Nuclear. Starting June 7, Ontario Power Generation will be turning its attention to cleaning the steam boilers on Pickering B’s Unit 7. MY NAME IS JAMIE LAWRIE,Manager for Design Projects at Pickering B and I’m in charge of the station’s boiler cleaning. It’s a pretty well known fact that keeping pots, pans or even a tea kettle clean can make them last longer. In the same way, we want to add years to the life of our boilers. In addition, this cleaning also helps our boilers operate more reliably by reducing the risk of future downtime due to boiler leaks. The process is safe and will have little impact on the Pickering community. You may see an increased amount of steam being released during ventilation. Some residents close to the station may notice a slight odour of ammonia. Please be assured the entire operation will be monitored to meet Ministry of the Environment and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission standards and at no time will health, safety or the environment be compromised. For more information, call the Pickering Nuclear information line at (905) 837-7272 or visit our Web site at www.opg.com.

BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Healthier smiles all around. That's the goal of a Pickering woman now heading up the Ontario Dental Hygienist Asso- ciation (ODHA). "We're looking to im- prove access, afford- ability and choice of dental hygiene," said Catherine Grater- Nakamura, recently named the association's president. During her one-year term, Ms. Grater-Naka- mura pledges to contin- ue the ODHA's long- time lobby against leg- islation requiring den- tal hygienists to have an order from a dentist before seeing a patient. That ruling leaves people, who are home- bound or in rural areas, out in the cold if they are unable to make it to a dental office, she said. "The ODHA also wants to let the public become more aware about the link between overall health and oral health," Ms. Grater- Nakamura added. "Gum health can be af- fected by things like di- abetes, heart disease, stroke, pneumonia and low birth weight." A registered dental hygienist, Ms. Grater- Nakamura works in a general practice in Scarborough, where she oversees the dental hy- g ienist team.

Provincial funding boost helps with municipal programs BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Being a teenager in Pickering is about to get more interesting. The City's youth business plan has been given a $10,453 boost from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation's recre- ation development fund (RDF). "I think it's a progressive move by the Province," said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land, who heads up Pickering's Youth Partnership Initiative. The funds go towards new after-school programs offered free by the municipality at three area high schools. The grant also helps purchase supplies for new programs, and offsets in- creased staff costs and market- ing material. Local MPP Janet Ecker, the Ontario finance minister, called the announcement "good news for young people in Pickering. "It's an example of a good plan going to benefit young people in our community." The youth business plan is a "great partnership arrange- ment", she said, pointing to such collaborators as area high schools, the Pickering Town Centre, the Ajax-Pickering Transit Authority, the City of Pickering and other corporate organizations. City staff completed the plan earlier this year with the help of two students to identify "where we're successful and where we're not" in offering programs to youth, said Coun. Holland. "Communication and trans- portation were the biggest barri- ers," he said. "They either A, did- n't know about the programs or B, couldn't get to them." The business plan is also try- ing to address the fact youth don't feel they have a place to go, he said. "We hope this is the beginning towards a trend of support for the kind of initiatives we're putting forward," Coun. Holland added. The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation has allocated more than $2.1 million to 144 organiza- tions to develop sport and recre- ational programs across On- tario, said Minister of Tourism and Recreation Brian Coburn in a release. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 6 2003 PAGE 23 P THE COURT AT BROOKLIN Retirement Residence warm and comforting people...

Mike O’Hara, left, and Lawrence Smith, co-chairmen of the event, said along with the regular at- tractions of the past 33 years, there are new events this year and more to come in the future. Home Week has bigger aspirations First of many new additions start this year BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer AAJJAAXX –––– The tried and true are here again this year and they're being joined by three new events. The 33rd annual Ajax Home Week runs Saturday, June 7 to Sunday, June 15 and is jam-packed with events in between. Speaking to Ajax council last week, co-chairman Lawrence Smith promised it would be "an exciting week of events." As always, there's the parade, the Lions club pasta night, the Kinsmen club's steak barbecue and dance, the naming of the Town's top citizen and, of course, the fireworks display. Three new events are part of the schedule, a jazz festival, a fund-rais- ing dog walk and a battle of the bands. Getting new events is important, Mr. Smith said in an interview. They make the week "bigger and better. We want to build it up the next few years. They came to us. They said they were interested and I said 'sure, come along'." Some plans didn't bear fruit for this year, but could in the future, he said, such as having the Snow Birds here. Again this year the theme is 'Ajax: our home'. "It's a good theme and we'll proba- bly keep it through to 2005 and we may change it the year after," he said. Ajax celebrates its 50th anniver- sary in 2005. "It's nice to have it really, really big" for the anniversary, Mr. Smith stat- ed. Like the event itself, the organizing committee has expanded this year to more than 30 people doing different projects, up from last year when there were about 20 people involved. "It's getting to be quite a task, with administration," Mr. Smith said. His co-chairman is Mike O'Hara. AAJJAAXX ––––The following is the sched- ule of Home Week events through to next Wednesday: All week, the Ajax branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, 111 Hunt St., holds an open house.

HIV-positive Durham man just wants ‘good job where I can be safe’ BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––If Jean-Claude Paquette had broken bones, lost limbs or even cancer, life would probably be easier. At least the 34-year-old Whitby man's employers and family might be more understanding. But Mr. Pa- quette is HIV-positive. That means on top of being ill and having to deal with unpleasant side effects caused by the powerful medications that keep him alive - and which cost him $2,000 a month - his par- ents have disowned him and employers don't want him on their payroll. "If I do get out of the pro- bationary (employment) stage and put in a claim, group (for drug coverage) life insurance companies make a listing for the em- ployer," he explains. "They look up the meds, and then I'm gone. No explanation." This has happened more than once to Mr. Paquette who most recently worked in administration jobs. Bilingual and able to type 87 words a minute, he says he has a strong work ethic. Yet he's found it difficult to keep a job permanently since he was diagnosed al- most seven years ago as having the Human Immun- odeficiency Virus that can cause AIDS (Acquired Im- mune Deficiency Syn- drome). "On Friday the 13th, Sep- tember 1996, I found out I was HIV positive," he says. "Then we had to wait nine months to see if my ex-wife was negative." Fortunately, she was. "My wife's family ostra- cized me," he continues. "I was totally devastated. Fi- nancially, my job was ter- minated right away. I was so stupid. I told my boss." Two jobs later, he was again let go when the large corporation he worked for discovered the nature of his illness. "I'd just gone through a divorce, lost my house and most of my material pos- sessions," says an emotion- al Mr. Paquette. "My par- ents also ostracized me be- cause I was HIV positive ... maybe because I was grow- ing more dependent. I nearly committed suicide four times ... Because I was HIV positive, I deserved it, according to my mother and father. No one de- serves to be sick. It's unbe- lievable I would be treated this way." As well as being shunned by family, the reality of his illness is that it costs $24,000 per year on average for prescribed medications alone. Side effects such as vomiting, bloating and di- arrhea add physical insult to f inancial injury. "It's a form of chemother- apy," he explains. "I'm in- gesting a synthetic mole- cule in huge quantities." When the virus eventually becomes drug-resistant, new tests must be done to change the combination. "I'll be getting a new 'cocktail' (combination of medications) and a whole new set of side effects," he laments. "But my doctor is convinced I'll be OK. His main concern is for me so- cially and mentally." Although he's lost his job, his truck and camera equipment he uses to eke out a living as a freelance photographer and film edi- tor, one bright spot in Mr. Paquette's life has been the AIDS committees of Durham Region. "They've been a lifesaver when no- body was there," he says. Peter Richtig, executive director of the AIDS Com- mittee of Durham, is famil- iar with employment diffi- culties the people he repre- sents must face. He is also understanding of small em- ployers who can't afford to pay $2,000 or more per month for an employee's medications claims. "Employment certainly is an issue," adds Mr. Richtig. "Even though someone with HIV doesn't (legally) need to disclose this to an employer, as soon as the employer sees what the medications are, they know what the employee is suf- fering from. Employers are concerned about the em- ployee's co-workers and customers. Even if the em- ployer is sympathetic, there might be resentment from co-workers if the per- son is sick too often or suf- fers from fatigue." Mr. Paquette has recent- ly put his energies into telling those who will listen that HIV is also a hetero- sexual disease. "In North America we think HIV is a gay disease," says Mr. Paquette who's put his photographic tal- ents to work lately on posters warning about un- protected sex. "It is not. I want the posters to make people think. It only takes one time. I've only had seven encounters in my life and I got infected prior to my marriage. It's totally random." Mr. Paquette hopes to land a job in the near future and says he would forgo benefits just to have decent employment. "If you're working, you can apply to have medications covered by the Ontario Trillium Drug Program," explains Mr. Richtig. "But on the form, it asks you if you have any private insurance and the government expects that to pay." As well as warning peo- ple about unprotected het- erosexual sex, Mr. Paquette also wants the medical pro- fession to be more aware, particularly those who've come right out and asked him how he became HIV- positive and if he's homo- sexual. "If I say I'm straight, (they think) I'm a drug user," he says. "I just want a good job where I can be safe. I've always been a hard worker."

Then lift ball crowd's spirits AAJJAAXX ----To see them perform the na- tional anthems at a recent Toronto Blue Jays game, you would never have known The Young Singers had a wild ride to the SkyDome. The choral group had chartered a private bus to take them to the game, but it didn't show up, and what en- sued was like something out of a com- edy. Singers' music director and founder Anna Lynn Murphy arranged for an Ajax Pickering Tran- sit Authority (APTA) bus to trans- port the singers, and within minutes a ride appeared. Driver Vasil 'Bill' Bekarovski opened the door, called out, 'SkyDome,' and the relieved singers boarded the bus and began the trip. There had been a mix up, however: the bus was intended for a group of fans going to the game and had to turn around and return to the Ajax yard. With the clock ticking, and Ms. Murphy almost at her wits' end, the fans generously gave up their bus for the Singers when they learned of their predicament. They made it to SkyDome -- just barely. "We had seven minutes before we had to walk out onto the field," said Ms. Murphy. "It's a real fun story -- now." She noted the APTA "was working furiously to get us another bus" before the welcome offer from the local fans. The Singers and Ms. Murphy re- cently thanked Mr. Bekarovski for getting them there safely and on time. He drove them right to the front door. "We just made it," he said.

Alas, the gang arrived too late to stop West from scoring the first touchdown of the contest. The Dolphins prevailed 48-6 to even their league record at 1-1. Senior girls off to defend provincial title PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----For the second consecutive year, the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs senior girls' soccer team rules. The squad won the Lake On- tario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) title last Thursday, beating Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School 3-1. Netting goals for St. Mary were Ashley Vaughan, Danielle Tan- ner and Abbie Visser, while Laura Elliott found the back of the net for Austin. With the win, St. Mary quali- fies for the provincial champi- onships in St. Catharines from June 5 to 7. Austin, as runner-up, also takes part in the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) finals. Joe Visconti, a co-coach with St. Mary, said winning LOSSA "capped an undefeated outdoor season" for the girls, who fin- ished with 10 wins and no losses or ties. Winning was "excellent, very good, considering we lost nine players from last year's gold medal OFSAA team," Visconti said. "We have a really young team, with a good mix of veter- ans and rookies." The Monarchs edged St. Stephen's Secondary School of Clarington 2-1 in the semifinals, with goals coming from Cara Cornacchia and Visser. Other team members are Jen- nifer Czapka, Tina De freitas, Brittany Gaudet, Katrina Gaudet, Maria Gianfriddo, Ameila Gilhooly, Lisa Henein, Kristine Hughes, Amanda Morra, Nicole Ruta, Kristina Silva, Gillian Slaney, Stefanie Tomei, and Ashley Visser. Other coaches are Mark Vis- conti, Vivian Riva and Sonya Melim. The team manager is Sean Gillespie. Monarchs reign in LOSSA soccer AABBBBIIEE VVIISSSSEERR Scores for Monarchs in title game. Rock's rolling now Senior B lacrosse squad wins fourth in a row DDUURRHHAAMM ----The Ajax-Pickering Rock is on a big-time roll on the lacrosse floor. The Ontario Lacrosse Associ- ation senior 'B' team extended its win streak to four games with back-to-back victories on the weekend. The Rock have a very good chance to extend their undefeat- ed string tonight (Friday) as they travel to Ennismore to play the still-winless Shamrocks (0- 7). Ajax-Pickering hosts the St. Clair Storm (1-7) at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex Sunday at 2 p.m. Another weekend sweep would be sweet to keep the mo- mentum building for the expan- sion Rock, said co-owner/general manager/head coach Paul St. John. But, nothing is assured for his young and improving charges, he added, especially against a team like the Sham- rocks who'll be looking to end their early-season funk. Ennismore "hasn't won a game, but they've been coming on of late, losing by only two or three goals," warned St. John. The Rock shaded the visiting Mohawk Stars 9-7 at the recre- ation complex Saturday night, and then took their show on the road to Burlington Sunday where they edged the Chiefs 8-6. Best of all, the two victories vaulted the Rock (4-2 for eight points) into fourth place in the nine-team standings, four points in arrears of the third-place Owen Sound Woodsmen. For St. John, the team contin- ues to be solid at both ends of the floor, as well as receiving standout goaltending from Jay Preece and Mike Miron who split the duties in the two-game set. "I was very pleased. We played two very strong games. I think Sunday's game (against Burling- ton) was the best all-round game we've played all year. We had one letdown when they got a goal with three seconds left in the first period. That could have been a bad letdown for our guys, but they picked it up the rest of the way," said St. John. Although the Chiefs (3-3-1 for seven points) and the Stars (1-7 for two points) are far from the class of the league, the Rock still had its work cut out for it in both games, noted St. John. He said the team continued to play its up-tempo running game that, along with the solid goaltending, was pivotal to the weekend sweep. "Overall, our game is starting to come together and our run- ning game is quickly becoming our forte," he said. In Sunday's contest, the Rock and Burlington were tied 3-3 after the opening frame and then Ajax-Pickering took a 6-4 lead at the end of two periods. In the third, the Rock led by as much as 8-4, before the Chiefs closed the gap. Rob Milnes led the offensive charge with a six-point contest, scoring three times. Defensively, Ian Harloff was a force, provid- ing the Rock with his best game of the season. Other scorers were Brad Cann (two goals, three assists), Paul O'Grady (two goals, two assists), Nick Moeller (one goal, two as- sists), Brandon Laforme (three assists) and Tom Watt (one as- sist). Meanwhile, scoring against the Stars were: Cann (one goal, three assists), Laforme (two goals), O'Grady (one goal, two assists), Bill McLean (one goal, one assist), Chris McKeown (one goal), Moeller (one goal), Milnes (one goal), Pat VanHoos- er (one goal), Watt (two assists), Preece (two assists), Shawn Summerfield (one assist), and Eddie Fines (one assist).

TRIPP Who Passed Away June 7, 2002 You ’ve been in heaven a year now And everyday I think of all the Great times we shared. I miss our heart to heart talks on The phone or while driving the Countryside speaking thoughts We couldn’t share with anyone else, The way you made me, and everyone Else laugh with your phenomenal Sense of humour. Your ability to bring life to any dull Moment. It saddens me you didn’t get to meet My son. But I see glimpses of you in him and It makes me smile every time. Had I known that day would be our Last I would have held you tight and Told you how much I loved you and That you would be forever missed.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Collecting and caring PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Pickering resident Randy Bulmer is spearheading another equipment drive to benefit those in Canada, as well as several other countries who don’t have access to sports equipment. Soccer gear, including balls, uniforms, pads and shoes, as well as other sports equipment, will be collected at Kinsmen Park this Saturday during the Picker- ing Soccer Club’s annual picture day. Last year, Bulmer collected equipment for the City of Toronto for its inner-city youth soccer programs. This year, some items will go to Toronto as well as Nunavut, Cuba, Paraguay, Honduras, India and Africa. Last year, 400 items were donated. Bulmer is hoping more will be donated Saturday. Helping with the col- lecting are Kendra Hosein, in front, and Kylie Bulmer, Lindsey Carson, Nichole Carson, Randy Bulmer and Ryan Bulmer, in back row, from left.
