PICKERING — Devi Mandir is
celebrating its accomplishments
of the past 10 years this weekend.
Although the organization
was founded in 1988, Devi Man-
dir moved into its new temple in
1997.
“Since our congregation grew
and our programs grew we felt we
needed to move into a bigger facil-
ity,” said Cecil Ramnauth, the Devi
Mandir board of directors secre-
tary.
Devi Mandir is dedicated to
serving the Greater Toronto Area’s
Hindu population. Its vision is to
preserve Hindu traditions and cul-
tures for future generations. The
mission is to fulfill the spiritual
and cultural needs of the commu-
nity, through worship, religious
discourses and cultural and com-
munity programs. But it prides it-
self on being more than a place of
worship, and over the past 10 years,
Devi Mandir has accomplished a
number of achievements.
“Since we moved in there (2590
Brock Rd. in Pickering) a lot has
happened,” Mr. Ramnauth said.
“And we thought it was a great idea
to celebrate our achievements,
celebrate our youth, celebrate our
community outreach with all of
our community partners present.”
Devi Mandir works closely with
a number of partners. For exam-

PICKERING — About five
months after a train derailed in
Pickering, a City councillor has
gotten word that the Canadian
National Railway will cover City
costs.
At a March Council meeting,
Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill
McLean asked if chief administra-
tive officer Tom Quinn could look
into the possibility.
Coun. McLean was “quite
pleased” when CN recently sent
the City a letter stating it would
cover approximately $3,900 in
costs to Pickering, and said “it’s
showing responsibility” and “every
little bit helps.”
He said he’s meeting with CN
representatives to inspect the
tracks on Aug. 15.

ple, the Durham Regional Police Service makes it
mandatory for new recruits to attend sessions at
Devi Mandir for religious and cultural awareness
training before they graduate.
DRPS presented Devi Mandir with a plaque in
January of this year for its support in the recruit-
ment process. DRPS also made Pundit Damodar
Sharma Ji, the temple’s head priest, its first Hindu
chaplain.
Mr. Ramnauth also mentioned the work the
youth - DM Youth - have done.
“They have done a lot of work out there,” Mr.
Ramnauth said. “They have networked with kids
from other communities, and they have formed
relationships. They do it so well that in 2005 they
won the civic award for cultural diversity from the
City of Pickering.”
Devi Mandir was also a recipient of a 2006 City
of Pickering Civic Award in Environmental Stew-
ardship for environmental contributions such as
educating people on reducing greenhouse gases
through the Greening of Sacred Spaces program,
and installing solar panels in the parking lot. Mr.
Ramnauth explained it was mostly a youth initia-
tive.
He is also proud of hosting a multi-faith event
that raised funds for OHAfrica, an organization
that funds an AIDS clinic in Lesotho, Africa. It
raised nearly $10,000 and all the money went di-
rectly to the organization.

Used gun in
2 006 drug rip-off
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A Scarbor-
ough man faces a substan-
tial prison term after being
convicted of robbing an
Ajax drug dealer at gun-
point, an incident that saw
a neighbourhood locked
down as police sought an
armed suspect.
Jordan Peniston, 20,
showed no emotion Thurs-
day morning when jurors
delivered their verdict, de-
claring him guilty on nine
of 10 charges relating to a
home-invasion-style rob-
bery in the fall of 2006.
Mr. Peniston was con-
victed of a number of
w eapons, robbery and
drug charges, the most se-
rious of which is a count of
robbery with a handgun,
which carries an automat-
ic sentence of four years in
penitentiary.
Jurors found Mr. Penis-
ton was the man who,
armed with a semi-au-
tomatic 9-mm handgun,
entered a house on Gurr
Crescent on the afternoon
of Oct. 4, intent on rob-
bing a drug dealer who
lived there. Cops respond-
ing to a 911 call from two
terrified men inside the
house watched as a sus-
pect emerged, a gun in one
hand and a gym bag in
the other, then fled on foot
through backyards and
walkways.
Police converged on the
neighbourhood, in the area
of Rossland and Westney
roads, pursuing the fleeing
suspect and ordering area
schools locked down while
the chase unfolded. When
he was finally caught Mr.
Peniston was found to
be in possession of a gun
and a bag filled with ille-
gal drugs and other items
taken from the house.
In an unusual turn of
events jurors, who had
been sequestered over-
night after beginning de-
liberations Wednesday,
returned Thursday morn-
ing to say they’d reached
a unanimous verdict on
nine counts on the indict-
ment, but had been unable
to agree on a tenth. Su-
perior Court Justice David
Salmers sent them back to
resume deliberations on
the remaining count.
A little over an hour later
jurors filed back in the
Whitby courtroom to de-
clare the young man guilty
on nine of the 10 charges.
While jurors did not
indicate what count they
were deadlocked on, the
allegation of pointing a
firearm was the one charge
on which they did not con-
vict Mr. Peniston.
He is scheduled to re-
turn to court for a sentenc-
ing hearing in early Octo-
ber.

Health department
closes Oshawa parlor
By Erin Hatfield
ehatfield@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A local tattoo par-
lor has been shut down and its
customers are being urged to call
the Region.
The Region’s health department
closed Longhorn Custom Bodyart,
12 Centre St. N., Oshawa, and is
investigating potential exposure to
non-sterile equipment.
Clients who received services at
Longhorn between Nov. 17, 2006
and Aug. 1, 2007, are asked to call
the health department. Laboratory
test results indicate during that
time frame, the unit used to steril-
ize instruments and equipment on
site was malfunctioning.
The use of non-sterile equip-
ment could lead to transmission of
diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis
C and HIV.
“This situation was identified
following a routine health de-
partment inspection of this facil-
ity which led to a more detailed
investigation of the steriliza-
tion procedures,” explained Ross
MacEachern, the Region’s man-
ager of environmental health.
“At this time, we have no evi-
dence of transmission of infec-
tious diseases, but because of the
potential use of non-sterile equip-
ment, there is a risk which we be-
lieve to be relatively low.”
Mr. MacEachern went on to say
the Region is working closely with
the operator to identify clients
who might be affected and the
health department is following up
directly with those clients by letter,
which instructs them to see a fam-
ily doctor, or visit an urgent care
clinic for blood tests.
“We’re still urging anyone who
received a service from this estab-
lishment to call us so we can pro-
vide information on the recom-
mended follow-up tests required
to help rule out any blood-borne
diseases,” he said.
According to the Region, the
owner of Longhorn has been di-
rected to carry out a number of
activities prior to it being allowed
to re-open and it is yet to be deter-
mined if legal charges will be laid.
People who believe they may be
affected are urged to take certain
precautions, such as avoid sharing
clippers, razors, toothbrushes and
other personal items, and to use
a condom during sexual activity,
until evidence of transmission of
infectious diseases can be ruled
out. The Region has set up a dedi-
cated link at www.region.durham.
on.ca in relation to the investiga-
tion. It includes information about
the various diseases.
For more information, call the
Durham Health Connection Line

AJAX — A tip led Durham po-
lice to the discovery of a large
scale marijuana grow operation in
a north Ajax home Wednesday.
Drug and gang unit officers
armed with a search warrant de-
scended on the Williamson Drive
West home, in the Harwood Ave-
nue - Taunton Road East area, and
seized more than 700 pot plants,
valued at $720,000. Cops also
seized grow equipment including
blowers and high-intensity lights.
It was discovered that the grow op
was powered by stolen electricity,
police said.
Chan Kin-Kueng, 47, of Castan
Avenue in Markham and 33-year-
old Lang Zhen Zhou of Wharton
Square in Scarborough are charged
with drug offences and theft of
electricity.

Federal Liberal
leader tours GM
truck plant
By Izabela
Jaroszynski
ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Stephane
Dion was in Oshawa on
Wednesday afternoon to
meet with General Mo-
tors executives and walk
through the company’s
award-winning truck
plant.
The federal Lib-
eral party leader is in
the midst of a tour of
Ontario’s auto indus-
try, which includes
stops in Cambridge,
Windsor and Markham,
focusing on economic is-
sues facing the sector.
“We are very concerned
about the fact that Can-
ada lost about 300,000
jobs since 2002 in the
manufacturing sector and
90,000 in 2007 and 31,000
only in June,” Mr. Dion
said following his tour of
the plant. “I know that the
economy is recuperating
part of these jobs else-
where but the fact is that
Canada needs to keep a
strong manufacturing sec-
tor.”
Although Mr. Dion did
not outline any specific
plans his party has to stem
the loss of manufactur-
ing jobs, he said he wants
to see a partnership ap-
proach to the issue.
“I think the provin-
cial government for both
Ontario and Quebec are
doing their share and the
federal government must
to do its share too to help
our manufacturing sector,
and the auto sector in par-
ticular, to stay competi-
tive,” he said,
citing a high
Canadian dol-
lar, energy costs
and competing
emerging econ-
omies as the main issues
facing the sector.
David Paterson, the
vice-president of corpo-
rate and environmental
affairs for GM Canada, ac-
companied Mr. Dion on
his tour of the plant.
“We are delighted that
he is showing so much
interest in the auto sec-
tor,” Mr. Paterson said.
“Obviously manufactur-
ing and the auto sector
has some real challenges
with the high Canadian
dollar. He has been asking
great questions and show-
ing real interest in our in-
dustry and there’s noth-
ing better than a chance
to actually be in the plant
and see the things we are
doing.”
Standing next to a
Chevrolet Silverado hy-
brid pick up truck -- the
type that will soon be
coming off the line in Os-
hawa -- Mr. Dion spoke
about creating an environ-
mental policy that would
listen to the needs of the
industry. “You work with
the industry, the unions,
the environmental groups
to design something that
makes sense,” he said.

Police presence needed to show
residents they care about ‘minor’ crimes
Cops on foot, bikes
closer to citizens
In just the past two weeks I have re-
ceived a number of letters and calls
from residents complaining about
the reaction they have received from
Durham Region’s finest.
In three of those cases residents said
the police reaction was the same: the
crime wasn’t important enough to send
an officer to the scene.
In one, eggs were thrown at a home-
owners’s car and when the owner called
police and said he knew which direction
the eggs were tossed from and asked an
officer to pay the suspected perpetrators
a visit, he was advised instead to install
a security system.
Another resident called to complain
about fires being set on hills and of
course, when police went by during the
day, the kids weren’t there.
I have only had two occasions to call
police and both times I also received
that same response.
Just a few weeks ago I arrived home
to find a teen had driven his car down
our street, he obviously had mistaken it
for a drag racing strip, parked it on the
grass facing a main road and put a for
sale sign on it. Each time we were out
on the street that weekend, all we could
see was the car. When I called police
to complain I was politely told they
wouldn’t come out. I was told to call the
Town but since it was a weekend, that
wasn’t an option.
Shortly after my wife and I were mar-
ried we moved into the White Oaks
apartments in Whitby. It was a nice
place to live but one morning my wife
went down to the garage to find some-
one had broken into our Pinto. I called
police but they said there was no point
coming out.
Durham is a large urban area where
robberies and attacks almost seem to
happen nightly. Police officers are busy
with serious crimes but maybe they
should be asked to take a few minutes
to attend a home where eggs have been
thrown at a window or a car has been
broken into, to let the victims and their
neighbours know they are working to
make the community a safer place.
Just this week I received a letter from
an Ajax resident who said she has had
enough of the crime. When she first
moved into the area it was quiet but that
has all changed.
That’s why the park patrols in Ajax
and Pickering are a great community
service by police. Riding bikes around
area parks gives residents a chance to
see their police spending time in their
community.
We need more officers walking
through neighbourhoods and less driv-
ing our main highways night after night.

umn appears every three weeks. E-mail

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Whiteway a solid
choice as Durham’s
deputy chief
It wasn’t a surprise when Sherry Whiteway was named
Durham’s newest Deputy Chief.
The former superintendant has continually moved up
the ranks and brought success and respect in the variety
of roles she has held in her 27 years of service. When the
job was left vacated by the now Chief of Police Mike Ewles,
all knew that she was a frontrunner in the race, despite a
wealth of talent in the organization including Inspector
Mike Ennis.
She started her career with Durham as a frontline offi-
cer in Pickering. She served in Ajax, Uxbridge and Whitby
before taking over command of the Ajax/Pickering 19 Di-
vision. In 2004, she became head of the Communications
9-1-1 Unit.
In 2006 she became DRPS’s first female superintendent,
responsible for regional operations such as Air1, K-9, tacti-
cal support, traffic, marine, nuclear security, and commu-
nity services. Throughout it all she has proven that she loves
her job because, despite the role, it’s about helping people.
While she serves as a positive role model for all young
woman, it’s her accomplishments as a police officer that re-
sound. Leadership is built not only through actions but by
integrity and respect -- attributes that Deputy Chief White-
way possesses. Accountability is another admirable trait.
When This Week received a call about a 9-1-1 complaint by
a man who was put on hold, then Inspector Whiteway was
front-and-centre and didn’t pass on the issue to a subordi-
nate.
Deputy Chief Whiteway also understands a police force
is only as good as its frontline officers who she describes as
the “true backbone to our organization.” She is committed
to helping the organization establish a new flat-line ap-
proach to leadership, where young officers are encouraged
to make decisions.
She also understands the issues and concerns among res-
idents. Increasing guns and gang violence was something
she noticed and put at the forefront when she was working
at 19 Division.
We look forward to great things from Deputy Chief
Whiteway in her new role as our police force and communi-
ties continue to evolve.
Transit discount doesn’t go far enough
To the editor:
Re: DDSB and Durham Region Transit to offer discounted
transit passes to students.
The Durham District School Board and Durham Transit
receive half marks for this initiative. It’s a great program for
those that live more than 3.2 kilometres from their home
school and a great savings to them, but the offer should have
been extended to all secondary students in the DDSB as not
only the students that live more than 3.2 kilometres away use
the system now. The students that live less than 3.2 kilometres
away from their home school will still be stuck with the $65
per month cost. Increase your use-it-or-lose it number and
include all secondary students from the DDSB, or at the very
least you can offer a discount on secondary student single
ride fares to match what you are giving to those that live 3.2
kilometres away.

Chad Hanna
says No. 1
priority is building
new facilities to
service growing
population
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — After an ex-
tensive search process, a
new president and chief ex-
ecutive officer of the Rouge
Valley Health System Foun-
dation has been named.
On Aug. 8, the Rouge Val-
ley Health System (RVHS)
board of directors chairman,
Patrick McNeil, announced
Chad Hanna would fill
the position. The former
president and CEO had left
earlier in the year and Rik
Ganderton has acted as the
interim CEO and president.
Mr. McNeil explained the
decision came at a good
time since the foundation
is going through a period of
significant change. It has al-
ready completed the capital
campaign for the expansion
of Rouge Valley Ajax and
Pickering.
“We’re looking forward to
our continued success and
we’re very happy to have
him on board,” Mr. McNeil
said in an interview. “He’ll
be a key player.”
The executive commit-
tee of the board of directors
went through an “exhaus-
tive” search process over
many months to find the
right person for the job and
interviewed a variety of dif-
ferent contenders.
“We felt Mr. Hanna pro-
vided the best mix of ex-
perience and qualifications
against the criteria we had
established,” he said.
In a press release, Mr.
Hanna said he’s optimistic
about the foundation’s po-
tential to support the RVHS.
He acknowledges the cul-
turally and ethnically di-
verse community and said
“it’s our role to engage sup-
port for our hospitals.”
Mr. McNeil explained
Mr. Hanna will be respon-
sible for leading the foun-
dation staff in working with
the board of directors of
the foundation to provide
hospital funding to meet
its equipment and physical
structure needs.
Excited about his new
role and potentially engag-
ing donors, Mr. Hanna said
“building new facilities
for servicing the growing
population of Rouge Valley
Health System’s catchment
area definitely remains the
number one priority.” He
added a close second is as-
sisting RVHS in equipping
the facilities with state-of-
the-art equipment.
“The end goal for all of us
is to make effective health
care delivery a priority,” he
said.

Q: What does systemizing my
business mean?
A: Your question is a great one,
because systems can assist you in
achieving greater success in less
time and with less effort. Howev-
er, you are not alone; systems are
by far the most misunderstood
and under utilized tools of small
business owners today.
If implemented correctly, sys-
tems will produce consistent and
predictable results for the busi-
ness owner.
This will allow the business
owner to focus on developing
growth strategies rather than
fighting the day-to-day fires
-- effectively working “on” the
business versus working “in” the
business.
The more you systematize your
business, the less everyone will
rely on you for day-to-day ques-
tions and assistance. You will
minimize those nagging “got-a-
minute” interruptions from your
employees.
Also, the system you develop
takes your place so that you can
step out of the trenches and
function as CEO. Replace your-
self with the system.
Your mission is to plan and de-
sign the system and then let your
employees work the system. Your
employees should understand
their roles and function within
and according to the system.
Once defined and documented,
processes, policies, and practices
should be followed carefully.
The most common roadblock
is where to begin.
Get help from employees and
your business advisers (banker,
lawyer, accountant, business
coach) with identifying and
documenting all the processes,
procedures and policies neces-
sary to achieve more effective
and streamlined operations.
You want to get frank feedback
at this stage to ensure that you
have an effective business model
laid out first before you start doc-
umenting your business system.
Start with customers’ perceived
needs and work backwards re-
designing your business so that
it consistently and predictably
fulfills the promises made to a
customer during the selling pro-
cess. Be sure all your back-office
processes (accounting, finance,
HR, technology, administration,
etc.) are in alignment to effec-
tively support the operations of
the company. Design or repair
any processes that are missing or
faulty.
Routine work should be fully
systematized and only excep-
tions should be dealt with on
an ad hoc or improvised basis.
A system should eliminate arbi-
trary work and discretion. Your
employees should have the dis-
cipline to follow the system and
also have the freedom and au-
thority to handle the exceptions
that do not fit neatly into the
system.
Once your system is fully docu-
mented and your employees are
running the system, you need to
let go, trust the system, trust your
team, and step away from the
day-to-day workflow.
You will not have to work as
hard or as long. With effective
systems, ordinary employees
(properly trained) can achieve
consistently extraordinary re-
sults.
Television debt diva
offers tips to manage
overload of debt
By Izabela Jaroszynski
ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — When Gail Vaz-Oxlade walks
into a client’s house, she is always armed with
jars.
The Northumberland resident and host of
the Gemini-award winning show Til Debt Do
Us Part, uses the jars to teach people the truth
about spending.
“The big problem that I see is that people
have no idea what they are spending. When
I go in and show them what
they’ve been spending, they
gasp,” Ms. Vaz-Oxlade says.
Her solution is to work
out a new budget -- “in
line with their income” -
- and place the
spending
money
into
jars.
Each
jar
repre-
sents a
different
category, such
as entertainment or clothing.
“So now they can physically see the money,”
she said.
“And if they are going to spend it, they
immediately see the impact on the overall
amount of money they have.”
With her third season airing in the
fall, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade was at the Oshawa
Centre last weekend searching for local
couples and families for her fifth season.
She says the best
part of her job is
helping couples
come to realization
that they can live
within their means
and arming them
with the tools to reach
their goal of becoming
debt-free.
And as she does
that, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade is
also de-mystifying the
stigma that often goes with
discussing finances and debt.
“Fifty per cent of us carry a balance on our
credit cards,” she said. “So many people are
in the same boat.”
For those thousands of families that are
struggling with finances, Ms. Vaz-Oxlade sug-
gests starting with something simple: find out
how much you are actually spending each
month.
To do that, she suggests either reviewing
your spending habits over the last six months
and averaging it or writing down everything
you are spending over the next month.
“I have people spending hundreds of dol-
lars on their pets, or hundreds of dollars on
costume jewelry, or hundreds of dollars on
shoes,” she said. “Even if you are consistently
spending only a small amount but you are
doing it in tons of stores, then when you add
it all up it comes out to great gobs of your in-
come.”
Ms. Vaz-Oxlade says the
second biggest problem that
people have is considering
their credit cards as dispos-
able income.
“If they have space on their
credit cards, they see
that as it’s okay to go
shopping or okay to go
out for dinner or okay
to go away for the week-
end,” she said.
Make a list, she sug-
gests, and only buy
what’s on that list and
in your budget. If you
see something you’d
like, add it to the list.
Impulse buying is a big
no-no if you are trying to manage your debt,
she said.
“Ask yourself: would you do anything to
become debt-free,” she said. “Would you get
a second job? Would you stop going out for
dinner? Would you never buy another cup of
coffee again? It has to be a conscious effort to
really make it work.”
Strong sales, improved net
income and solid operating
cash flow all lead to a positive
second quarter for General Mo-
tors Corp.
GM reported its third straight
quarterly profit, after posting
billion-dollar losses. The profit
translates to $1.56 per diluted
share.
The company’s global sales
volume surpassed 2.4 million
units in the second quarter, up
marginally from the same pe-
riod a year ago.

Note:
“In North America we continue
to make progress with our
focus on great new products, a
disciplined sales and marketing
strategy, and structural cost
reduction, although profitability
remains close to breakeven.”

Health care system
leaves lots of residents
waiting for care
It was exactly three weeks after
I landed in Kigali that I finally had
my first day of work at Rwanda
Television.
We had visited TVR before so we
weren’t shocked by the state of the
newsroom. But then I remembered
that this is a state-run television
station and the only station avail-
able in Rwanda.
How could the newsroom be like
this? It’s one room, very much like
your dining room, with a table and
some chairs. The newsrooms I’ve
visited are usually this simple, but
at TVR the reporters don’t have
their own cubicles, or even their
own desks. They certainly don’t
have their own computers. In fact,
there’s only one computer, which
isn’t used for anything significant
other than to type the list of who’s
covering what and the line-up for
the evening’s newscasts. Without
computers, the reporters write all
their scripts by hand, in three lan-
guages.
With these scant resources, TVR
is still able to broadcast three news-
casts, in Kinyarwanda, French and
English, every night. They’re not
beautiful pieces of work like we
see on CBC but I respect them for
being able to work with what they
have. Like any workplace, it’s the
people that make it memorable.
The first day started with small talk
about sports with Faruk and meet-
ing everybody with handshakes
and introductions. Actually, every
day starts with shaking everyone’s
hand as per Rwandan custom.
“Do you shake hands where you
come from?” a reporter named
Frank asked while we were shak-
ing hands.
“Yeah,” I replied. “But not every
single time we see each other.”
Later in the morning, I went out
with Alice to cover an event at a
hospital. The whole thing was in
Kinyarwanda so I couldn’t follow
along.
Basically, the Rwanda Revenue
Authority was giving the hospital
a cheque for $2 million Francs to
help treat the loads of poor pa-
tients who can’t afford health care.
And I do mean loads. Canadians
shouldn’t complain about wait
times when compared to what it is
like in Rwanda. Women and chil-
dren crowded the outside of the
hospital at the earliest hours of
the morning waiting for how long,
I don’t know. I doubt if even a
quarter of them got the help they
needed.
This first day fulfilled my expecta-
tions of what life will be like as a
journalist. I wanted some way to be
out in the world every day, seeing
for myself what’s happening. See-
ing what many people wouldn’t get
to see in an average day. It’s exactly
what I signed myself up for.

Rwanda
Initiative
Rwanda television is all about the people
Terry James remembered
for his volunteer work
By Lesley Bovie
lbovie@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — In a lifetime of doing
for others, golf was the one thing that
Terry James did for himself.
“He never wanted to join a club be-
cause he didn’t want to limit who he
could golf with,” said his wife Marie.
“Golf was his time to be with other
people.”
Next month, 288 friends and col-
leagues will tee off in memory of the
late Pickering resident taking part in
the Terry James “Honour the Volun-
teer” Golf Tournament.
“He was a good friend and a fun
guy to be with,” said Mark Fleming, a
former golf buddy co-ordinating the
tournament.
The Sept. 14 event at Deer Creek
Golf Course will help establish an en-
dowment fund through the Durham
Community Foundation that organiz-
ers hope will grow each year to help
create eight scholarships for elemen-
tary and secondary school children in
Durham Region.
“We want to recognize someone in
the midst of doing volunteer work,”
explained Mr. Fleming.
“We wanted to also start early while
kids are still formulating who they want
to be to support what Terry really stood
for.”
Mr. James died Nov. 24 after a short
but valiant fight with multiple myelo-
ma. He was 68.
Supporting community groups was
just a way of life for Mr. James, who
spent 36 years with the Scarborough
Parks and Recreation Department be-
fore taking a retirement package when
the municipality amalgamated to help
form the City of Toronto.
He was in the midst of forming the
Pickering-Ajax Civitan Club when he
met former Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs.
“I really credit Wayne,” said Mrs.
James. “Wayne gave Terry the start of
his new life out here through all of his
connections.
“Because although we lived in
Pickering, all of Terry’s work life was in
Scarborough up to that point.”
He helped organize the St. Paul’s-
on-the-Hill food bank Christmas
lunch, was a member of the Pickering
Museum Village Advisory Committee,
and chaired both the Hospice Durham
and Girls Inc. golf tournaments. He
was also the president of the Durham
Region Senior Games.
In 2001, Mr. James spearheaded the
International Year of the Volunteer rec-
ognition program at the then mayor’s
invitation. He would go on to serve
as campaign manager in Mr. Arthur’s
2000 mayoral bid and volunteer co-
ordinator on his 2003 provincial cam-
paign.
He also served as campaign volun-
teer organizer on Dave Ryan’s suc-
cessful 2003 mayoral campaign in
Pickering.
“I never had as many volunteers as
I did that year,” remembered Mayor
Ryan.
“Terry was just a real dynamic guy
who wanted to be involved in the com-
munity in a significant way.”
Mrs. James said she’s been touched
by the number of her husband’s friends
who have rallied around the family
since his death. Talk of a tribute tour-
nament began soon after the funeral.
“I love (the idea) because youth need
all the support they can get -- positive
support -- to continue what they’re
doing,” she added.
Mr. James is also survived by his son
Brian and daughters Joy and Theresa.

Crime camp teaches
forensic investigation
techniques
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Most people probably drive
by the log cabin at 275 Conlin Rd. in Os-
hawa without noticing the police around
it and two grave sites in its backyard.
But the murder scene was the centre
of attention for students recently attend-
ing the University of Ontario Institute of
Technology’s Crime Scene Science Camp.
“I think it was Kim and James (who
committed the murder),” said student Wil-
liam Coghlan of Pickering, sitting at a pic-
nic table in front of the university’s crime
scene house.
He and fellow forensic camper, Christine
Scott of Whitby, were
discussing which sus-
pects they presumed
guilty based on the
information and evi-
dence found by Aug.
2, their fourth day at
camp.
“I think it was probably Doug and Kim
working together or James did it,” said
Christine.
Like a scene from a horror movie, the
mock-murder setup came equipped with
vacant and flat-tired cars in the driveway;
holes dug up in the backyard where bones
were found; blood smear and splatter in
the house’s bedroom, and the outline of a
body accompanied by a blood pool in the
living room.
They also received a report with what
had been found when police first arrived
and a list of possible suspects.
“For the crime scene camp, we actually
set up a crime scene,” said Shari Forbes,
UOIT assistant professor of forensic sci-
ence.
The log home, leased from Camp
Samac, used to be a ranger’s cabin, said
Ms. Forbes. It’s been furnished with do-
nated items to look like a household. Dur-
ing the school year, UOIT uses it for its
forensics program.
During the student’s five-day investiga-
tion, they used special forensic techniques
to reenact elements of the crime, such as
blood splatter.
In the cabin’s basement, kept separate
from the crime scene, the group took
turns attempting to recreate the blood
patterns found in the victim’s bedroom.
“You’re going to want to get your hoods
up,” said Sara Barrard, camp counsellor
and UOIT forensics student to the camp’s
participants.
The white suits participants wore were
provided in welcome kits they get to keep,
which also included a camera and film,
note pads, flashlight, tape measure, pens,
and body lotion – to ensure they leave
good fingerprints for experiments.
In front of a papered wall, students
took turns slapping simulated blood out
of their hand to see the different patterns
created at various heights, speeds, and
force.
“That went all over my face,” said one
girl, after making her mark on the paper.
The counsellors explained to them the
different types of splatter, such as cast-
off – flung from a weapon as it’s being
swung.
After practising blood splatter, the group
went back upstairs to use a chemical spray
that reacts to iron in blood and reveals
where it was wiped away.
“Oh my gosh,” said one girl while spray-
ing it into the bathtub.
“It’s everywhere,” said another, jammed
into the small bathroom area.
Near the house’s kitchen is a computer
monitoring system that allows supervisors
to better watch the students in each room
perform their investigation.
The cabin was transformed last sum-
mer for UOIT’s fall semester crime scene
course, which teaches students how to
enter, collect and preserve a crime scene.
The property is also sometimes used for
training police students, said Ms. Forbes.
Before the house was available, students
were restricted to a lab, which isn’t very
realistic, she added.
“The students loved it because it was
getting them out of the university and a
laboratory setting,” Ms. Forbes said.
For the course, they restage a new crime
every week. The students’ exam is to pro-
cess the entire scene and follow all the
legal requirements. It takes about three
hours to do and they’re watched through
the monitoring system to ensure they
photograph and document everything
and avoid contamination. Mr. Forbes said
it can be quite stressful to avoid mistakes
– if a piece of fingerprint tape gets stuck
together, they could lose a print.
“It’s an excellent teaching facility,” said
Ms. Forbes.
“As far as we’re aware, the facility is
unique to our program and that’s Canada
wide,” she said, and added other programs
may only be able to offer a residence room
as a mock crime scene.
Participants use a variety of equipment
throughout the week, including blue light,
special goggles, fingerprint brush, lifting
tape, and dust, as well as techniques for
gathering evidence.
William enjoyed the fingerprint-lifting
exercises and casting-foot impressions
the most.
“The whole forensic thing, the finger
printing and blood samples is really inter-
esting,” said the Pickering resident. “I’m
sad it’s going to be gone tomorrow (Aug.
3).”
The early August camp was the fourth
of six being offered this year and featured
seven participants; it can take a maximum
of 10.
Next year, it opens to Grade 7 and 8
students. This year it was $300 to attend
the day camp or $750 to stay on residence
with meals, snacks, and evening activi-
ties.

fingerprint powders that stick to sweat
components in the ridges of prints

non-porous surfaces, such as varnished
surfaces, painted surfaces, glass, and
leather
• magnetic dusting is for porous sur-
faces, including paper, cardboard, and

Be the hunter, not the hunted. Go to InsuranceHotline.com and find a killer insurance rate.
Killer insurance rates are elusive, and hard to find. Many good
drivers are held hostage by high insurance rates. It doesn’t have
to be this way. Policing of these killer insurance rates is the
responsibility of your government. They post rate comparison
“warnings” alerting you to how easily you could be in danger
of grossly overpaying for insurance.
To stay safe you need to compare what you’re paying right now,
to the best rates available in the insurance industry.
InsuranceHotline.com does this for you for free. It instantly
compares over 30 insurance company rates to find you the lowest.
Look at this government
comparison, taken from
www.fsco.gov.on.ca
as showing $1,000’s
of dollars difference
between insurance
company rates for this
upstanding married
couple with a clean
driving record!!! If you
don't dare to compare,
you'll never know if you
have a "Killer Insurance
Rate" or if you're being
killed by what you're paying.
Tickets, accidents, your age, the car you drive, your postal code, and
many other factors can make you prey to high rates. In fact every
year your profile changes. You get older, your car gets older. Further
insurance companies can change their rates up to 4 times a year!
You also need to know that insurance companies “profile” their rates
differently. I’ve seen drivers with tickets and an accident pay lower
rates than good drivers with clean records, only because they’ve
protected themselves by doing their own rate comparison. ThunderBaySudburyWindsorLondonTorontoHamiltonBrockvilleOttawaInsuranceHotline.com – Dare To Compare.

Rock turns eyes
to Presidents Cup
after being swept
DURHAM — It wasn’t meant to be.
So, now the Ajax-Pickering Rock will turn its
attention to the Presidents Cup.
On Tuesday, the Rock fell 4-3 to the Own
Sound Woodsmen and were swept 3-0 in the
OLA Senior ‘B’ lacrosse championships. De-
spite the loss, the Rock had already qualified
for the Presidents Cup, emblematic of senior ‘B’
supremacy in Canada.
The Presidents Cup runs from Aug. 20 to 25
in Owen Sound.
“I’m disap-
pointed with
the result,” Ajax-
Pickering head
coach/general
manager Paul
St. John said of
Tuesday night’s
game. “We would
have liked to have won the Ontario champion-
ship. I’m not disappointed with the effort.”
He expected a letdown getting to the cham-
pionship, with a birth in the Presidents Cup
already secure. “The effort was better last night,”
he added.
The Rock have almost two weeks to prepare
for the cup, he said.
“It gives us time to practice. We haven’t had
enough time to practice, because of the playoffs
and work commitments. We’ll have three solid
practices. We’ll be ready,” St. John vowed. “I
know our team will rebound well. Losing the
Ontario championship gives us motivation for
the Presidents Cup.”
Going into the Ontario championship, the
Rock knew it would be short some players, in-
cluding the Veltman brothers.
“We knew we wouldn’t have Jim Veltman for
the Ontario championship. We knew going in
Jimmy wouldn’t be there. John had asked for
some time off. His body was hurting. That hap-
pens when you get older,” St. John said.
For the Presidents Cup, the entire team should
be available, he noted.
“It will great to
have the whole
team. When we
do, there’s no-
body who can
beat us,” he stat-
ed.
“There are a few
guys nursing in-
juries. Nothing major, just bumps and bruises
from the Wellington and Mohawk series.
“The guys are almost relieved to have some
time off. They wanted to win. But, the guys were
thinking ‘let’s get this over with and get some
time off’. We’ll be ready for the big dance,” he
stated.
Wayne Burke, Bill McLean and Shawn Sum-
merfield netted goals on Tuesday, while Josh
Black chipped in with two assists, Mike Daley
and Joel Johnson adding one each.
Tuesday’s game was played at the Harry
Lumley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen
Sound.

AJAX — Riley Brault proudly displays the ball he used for his recent hole-in-one. Riley, who
turned 6 in July, aced the 81-yard 4th hole at the Fox Run Golf Centre. It was his first time on a
golf course.
‘I know our team will rebound well.
Losing the Ontario championship gives us
motivation for the Presidents Cup.’

PICKERING — The Pickering Power girls’
under-nine rep soccer team couldn’t miss in
capturing the MIST Invitational Soccer Tour-
nament in Carlton Place, near Ottawa, re-
cently.
In the final, the Power put together an im-
pressive performance to soar past the Cum-
berland Condors 6-0 to lay claim to the cham-
pionship. The Power used pretty passing plays,
powerful crosses and precision finishing to
score the convincing victory.
Nicole Remedios led the attack with a two-
goal effort. She was followed by Hailey Wilson,
Chelsi Jadoo, Anna Taverna and Alex Capizzo,
who all netted single goals. Goalkeepers Brooke
Timpson and Christina Pongetti shared in the
shutout.
The Power earned a spot in the final after
taming the Mississippi United Tigers 7-0 in the
semifinal. Anastasia Kavoukis and Stephanie
Lamanna were the chief Tiger tamers, each
with two-goal performances. Monica Newton,
Stasi Torchia, and Jadoo all chipped in with
single markers. Torchia and Jadoo recorded
the shutout.
The Pickering under-nines opened the tour-
nament with a 3-0 win over the Goulburn
Gators with Wilson, Lamanna and Remedios
scoring; keepers Hailey Chin-A-Loy and Tav-
erna earned the shutout. Pickering followed
that victory with an 8-0 win over the Cumber-
land Condors. Chin-A-Loy connected for three
goals, Kavoukis, Torchia, Timpson, Taverna
and Pongetti netted singles. Keepers Sydney
Van Sickle and Capizzo recorded the shut-
outs.
Pickering finished preliminary play with a
7-1 win over the Cumberland Cardinals.
Richard Lissone and Franco Taverna coach
the team. Lisa Chin-A-Loy is the manager.

DURHAM — The curtain will
be rising soon on another exciting
season of community theatre in
Durham Region.
Rehearsals are already under
way for some plays which are de-
signed to entertain and educate

AJAX — Ajax artist Sharon
Steinhaus is opening up her studio
for a sale of her works.
The sale is this weekend, Aug.
11 and 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at 19 Hearne Cres. (near Westney
and Rossland roads).
Ajax and area landscapes are
the focus of Steinhaus’s work, but
she does an occasional abstract
piece.
The paintings range from very
small to large and come in a va-
