Durham courts trouble Police say urgency for new courthouse BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––The need for a new Durham courthouse is reaching a point of urgency, says Police Chief Kevin McAlpine, who sug- gested the Region’s old facilities are costing taxpayers money and hin- dering police services. “We need that courthouse and we need it now,” the chief said fol- lowing a presentation to regional council Wednesday. The growth in Durham com- bined with the increasing number of charges being taken to court have resulted in more prisoners in the system each day and there is not enough room to house them, said Chief McAlpine. “Certainly an issue facing us every single day is the court issue. Yesterday we started with 67 pris- oners to go into holding cells made for about 40 prisoners and we added a few more by the end of the day.” The chief said the force is “frus- trated by very outdated facilities. Every day the Durham courthouse is not there, it costs us money on se- curity and transport of prisoners. Last year we had to bring patrol of- ficers into the courtroom 54 days. That’s 54 days those officers should’ve been out on the road.” According to the chief, in 1993, Durham Regional Police made 6,300 prisoner transport trips. That number has risen to over 15,000. Currently, some prisoners are held at Whitby Jail until they are due in court, instead of being trans- ported to the courthouses at the be- ginning of the day. That stop-gap measure will no longer be an option when the Whitby Jail, expected to close before Christmas, has been shut down, he said. PICKERING — The an- nual Terry Fox run is this Sunday, Sept. 15. Registration is at 9 a.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Valley Farm Road. The run ends by 2 p.m. Participants can run, walk, inline skate or bike a five- or 10-kilometre route through the heart of the city. Organizers say the celebri- ty barbecue held in advance of the run raised $14,000 for cancer research and they are hoping for even more the day of the run.

See RESIDENTS page 2 Business wants conformity But residents say operation a hazard BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING — Balsam Road residents and a local auto recycler are locked in a verbal battle over whether the long-established busi- ness should be allowed to continue operating in the rural community. The auto-wrecking yard has been around since 1952 and pre- dates the City’s zoning bylaws. The current owner, Barry Kauf- man, purchased the north Pickering property and business, now known as Number 7 Auto Recyclers, in 1989. Number 7 is operating under what is known as a legal non-con- forming use, meaning the auto recy- cling business is legal, but doesn’t conform to existing zoning bylaws. In 1999 Mr. Kaufman decided to make some improvements to the property. However, as a legal non- conforming business, Number 7 was unable to replace existing buildings on the site with the state- Pickering Rec Complex 905-683-6582 Pickering Rec Complex 905-683-6582 ® • SALES • SERVICE • LEASING • RENTALS • BODY SHOP Big car impact from a little car. 503 Kingston Rd., Pickering www.pvw.com (905) 420-9700 “Try The Best” PICKERING VOLKSWAGEN INC. Terry’s hope lives Sunday in Pickering of-the-art auto facility he envi- sioned. Instead, Mr. Kaufman had to expand the existing building to maintain the legal non-conforming status. He went ahead, promising to construct a “breeze- way” between the new and old build- ings. The new facility was constructed with an airplane hangar-sized indoor parts and engine storage area and auto dismantling bay, which he said is equipped with envi- ronmentally friendly equipment. Now that the new build- ing is up and run- ning Mr. Kaufman said he wants to skip building the “breezeway” and tear down the old building all together. He has applied to rezone the property to legitimize the ex- isting business, but area neighbours op- pose the plan. Margaret Williamson lives next door to Number 7 on Balsam and told City councillors this week the busi- ness is a “recipe for disaster” and a “dirty business” op- erating in what should be a rural res- idential neighbour- hood. “My family’s dream is turning into a nightmare,” she said. “They have trucks coming in at all hours of the night, all the dust and the noise, they’re storing piles of tires out there. What if the pile of tires catches fire?” she asked. Ms. Williamson and a group of resi- dents made their case to the City’s planning committee, charging the busi- ness is a hazard to the local environ- ment and demand- ing Pickering coun- cillors do something about it. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner suggested council only ap- prove the rezoning if Number 7 com- pletes an environ- mental assessment of the land. Director of plan- ning Neil Carroll warned councillors Mr. Kaufman could just simply back out and abandon the re- zoning application with an assessment condition, build the breezeway and continue to operate as a legal non- conforming use. However, in an interview Tues- day, Mr. Kaufman said he’s already done the environmental reports. In fact, he said his financial institution asked for reports before lending him the money to build. He said the re- ports, which were completed in June 2000, showed no problems. “This is my land, it’s not land I rent. I’m going to give it to my sons one day. Do I want to make it dirty? No I don’t. “If I rented maybe I wouldn’t care, but this is mine,” he said. “We’re not dumping or burying any- thing... this business has been here since 1952 and it’s not going any- where.” The planning committee referred the matter back to staff to address the concerns of residents.

The coroner’s inquest is examining the role of cell- phones in motor vehicle col- lisions after Ajax resident Richard Schewe, 31, and his two-year-old daughter, Mikaela, were killed when their pickup truck collided with a train at a level crossing in Pickering. Court heard Mr. Schewe, who was northbound on Brock Road, did not stop in time despite bells and flash- ing signals and crashed through the crossing gate. The truck skidded onto the CP Railway tracks south of Taunton Road and was struck by the westbound freight train. Police investigation found Mr. Schewe was talking on his cellphone to his ex-wife at the time of the crash May 7, 2001. During the inquest, which began Monday, jurors heard details of two studies show- ing drivers are more at risk of crashing when talking on phones. The author of one study found the risk is great, while the other determined the dan- ger is minimal compared with other driver distractions. Dr. Donald Redelmeier, a University of Toronto med- ical professor and internist at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, testified his research showed drivers are four times as likely to crash if talking continuously on the phone. Dr. Redelmeier was called as a witness by Crown attor- ney Ken Polley, who is coun- sel for presiding coroner Dr. James Edwards. Dr. Claire Laberge- Nadeau, a University of Montreal professor, was called as a witness by the Canadian Wireless Telecom- munications Association, which strongly opposes leg- islation regulating cellphone use in cars and has standing in the inquest. Court was told Dr. Laberge-Nadeau’s study con- cluded people using cell- phones while driving are 38 per cent more likely to have an accident, far less than the 400 per cent suggested by Dr. Redelmeier. The doctors relied on dif- ferent methodology in their studies, court heard. Dr. Laberge-Nadeau said there are “multiple factors” in most crashes and there isn’t enough data to support legis- lation banning or restricting cellphones. Closing counsel submis- sions at the inquest were ex- pected to begin Friday. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P TM AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE - WHEEL ALIGNMENT - TUNE UPS - RADIATOR SERVICE - BRAKE SERVICE EARN TRIPLE AIR MILES® reward miles ON OUR $35 FALL BACK TO BASICS CAR CARE PACKAGE This service includes: 1.Change engine oil, replace oil filter and lubricate. 2.Top up all fluids including brake, windshield, differential, transmission, and power steering. 3.Rotate all four tires and adjust air pressure. 4.Tighten all drive belts. 5.Provide a four-litre jug of windshield-washer fluid. 6.Analyze battery charge and clean as required. 7.Inspect front and rear brakes and clean as required.

Carib club celebrating DURHAM — Durham’s Catholic school board, at its Sept. 9 board meeting, released its bud- get schedule for the up- coming year. The Durham Catholic District School Board will start the process six to eight weeks earlier and aims to approve the 2003/04 budget at the June 9 board meeting. Beginning in roughly three weeks, principals will be asked to make school maintenance and re- pair requests, due Nov. 15. The first budget draft is to come before trustees April 28. In his report to the board, business superinten- dent David Visser said, “the schedule presented is dependent upon the timely receipt of necessary finan- cial information from the Ministry of Education.” Mr. Visser noted ap- proximately $4.5 million was required from the working funds reserve to balance the current year’s budget. “This option will not be available to the board much longer as reserve funds are finite,” he states. “Eventually, either an increase in funding and/or a decrease in expenditures must occur if the annual shortfall is to be over- come.” A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 www.durhamregion.com SALE!

Responsible Management As part of our nuclear waste management program, used fuel bundles have been stored safely in water-filled bays at Darlington Nuclear for more than ten years. OPG is proposing to transfer these bundles into large concrete and steel storage containers and then place them in on-site storage buildings specifically built for this purpose. Similar technology has been approved and is in use at OPG’s Pickering Nuclear and is approved and under construction at OPG’s waste management facility in Bruce County. Participate in an Open House As part of the planning and approval process for this proposed facility, we are conducting an environmental assessment that includes ongoing public consultation. In April 2002, we held our second round of Open Houses to share preliminary findings of our EA studies with the community. Now, we are continuing with a third round to present the results of the environmental assessment and provide a forum for public comment. Your comments will be included in the EA Study Report to be submitted to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, the authority responsible for this EA under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Open houses will be held at the locations and on the dates listed below. OPG staff and expert consultants will be available to answer your questions. We look forward to seeing you there.

BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM –– The number-one threat to public safety is not violent crime, but some- thing far more commonplace, says Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine. “In terms of bad news, the area where the majority of our citizens get hurt is traffic acci- dents,” said the chief during his quarterly up- date to regional council Wednesday. “Our im- pact on fatalities and collisions is not where we would like it to be,” added the chief, who says the force is targeting road safety as a pri- ority. While criminal driving offences in the first half of 2002 were down by 4.3 per cent to 985 compared with the first six months in 2001, that “has more to do with the level of police availability out on the road than it has to do with what’s happening on the roads,” the chief said. And although criminal driving offence charges are down, more of us have been on the receiving end of speeding tickets. Police Services Board Chairman and Os- hawa Councillor Bob Boychyn noted a new traffic unit is on the road and the officers are “out in great force, nabbing speeders on a reg- ular basis. Sooner or later they’ll reach your municipality, your neighbourhood, so be care- ful.” He added, “That’s not a threat, that’s a fact.” Aside from traffic management, Durham police are also facing challenges related to the region’s significant and fast-paced growth, the chief said. “Our calls for service - our fundamental workload - how we count how busy we are, are up 8.2 per cent,” Chief McAlpine said. The force is working on a five-year plan, noted Coun. Boychyn, who said the goal is to have “a more proactive, more stable delivery of police services.” Four key areas have been identified to be addressed within that plan: re- gional growth, advancement of technological equipment, crime trends and police employee requirements. The chief noted in the first six months of 2002, compared to the same time period in 2001: • Crimes of violence were down 3.9 per cent but there were still 2,173 victims; • Property crimes were up 6.7 per cent to 7,632 incidents; • Total criminal incidents were up 4.9 per cent to 18,511; • Provincial offence tickets were up 25.9 per cent to 79,783 issued; • Drug incidents were up 70.8 per cent to 801. Since November 2001, the Durham Re- gional Police have closed down 104 drug homes and seized more than $24.5 million in marijuana and growing paraphernalia. Despite the crime statistics, Coun. Boy- chyn noted Durham residents should feel con- fident in their police services and secure with- in their communities. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P FALL MUMS • STRAW BALES • FIREWOOD • HOUSEPLANTS FIREWOOD • HOUSEPLANTS • LAWN FERTILIZERSBIRD SEED THAT BIRDS ACTUALLY EAT!FINCH AVE.LIVERPOOL RD.HWY 2 HWY 401 BROCK RD.Pine Ridge CHURCH S.Mon.-Fri...........9 AM -6 PM Sat.-Sun...........9 AM - 5 PM OPENOPEN N LANDSCAPE DESIGNS AND INSTALLATION LANDSCAPE DESIGNS AND INSTALLATION •delivery •planting •disease diagnosis •horticultural consulting •flowers •baskets •trees/shrubs •house plants •gift ideas 2215 BROCK RD.

Now is the time for all Canadians to come to the aid of our health-care system. With a federal report coming soon from former Saskatchewan pre- mier Roy Romanow, it’s time to de- fend the basic principles of our sys- tem. Perhaps it’s time to apply a lit- tle heat to our political representa- tives. Canadians say health care is our most important issue. But a sneaky campaign to undermine universal medicare continues. Those who want to privatize it know how we feel so they don’t make a frontal attack. In- stead, they insidiously undermine the system by compromising the fundamental values Canadians cher- ish. A two-tier system is their goal, even if creeping privatization in is the way they have to do it. So it’s time to remind our govern- ments we have already spoken on the issue. Obviously the federal govern- ment must meet its responsibilities. To talk tough to the provinces, Ot- tawa must increase its contribution. The federal government isn’t seri- ously defending public health care as long as it downloads so much of the bill. On the other hand, the provinces would be more persuasive if some weren’t acting so obviously on be- half of the profit-motivated compa- nies that want a bigger piece of the health-care pie. Their view is that it’s so much better if they can take over a service, make a profit, and still send the bill to the taxpayer (OHIP). The key principles of the Canada Health Act must be preserved. Cana- dians have spoken. We want a sys- tem that is universal, portable, pub- licly run, comprehensive and acces- sible. But, we had better raise our voic- es. Calls, faxes, e-mails, and letters to our MPs and MPPs are needed as are letters to the editor — whatever we can do to make it clear we care about our health-care system. We don’t want one based on profit. We don’t want one that permits the wealthy to go the head of the line while others line up for second-class treatment. We want health care avail- able to all. In fact, we want our pub- licly managed and funded system to cover home care and drugs too. If this is how you feel dear read- er, it’s time to pick up the phone or write that letter. Let’s not let the politicians off the hook. Let’s put their feet to the fire right now so they won’t be tempted to give our health- care system to those greedy friends of theirs. You know, the ones who have been pressuring them to priva- tize all our publicly built services, from airlines to hydro power, from railways to highways. Now is the time to shout ouch for health care Defence of public system badly needed on eve of Romanow report to federal government Bruce Rogers Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Public being shut out of land swap process To the editor: So the provincial government is going to give north Pickering lands to developers in exchange for land the developers owned on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The developers were in the middle of Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearings seeking planning permission to develop on some moraine land when the government decided to intervene. Why? Was it because they knew the OMB would have ruled in favour of the developers? The north Pickering lands need the up- dated integrated environmental mapping of all groundwater, creeks and surface water that is presently being completed. Further, additional environmental mapping should include research that was obtained in the Interim Waste Authority process of the early 1990s, as well as other environmental studies not included in the Seaton plan of 1990. How does the Province know what land to swap for development if it doesn’t have an updated, integrated comprehensive en- vironmental mapping of rural Pickering? David Crombie, who’s helping oversee the swap on behalf of the Province, would be welcome to sit on the Pickering growth management study team. The public at large in Pickering must become equal part- ners in the process rather than being locked out by the provincial government, which continues to make deals with developers.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 13, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com We paused momentarily Wednesday to remember the inno- cent victims of the terrorist attacks in the United States one year ago. We prayed for them, including fellow Canadians who were in those doomed commercial towers in Manhattan. We kept a warm thought for the courageous passengers on Flight 95 that crashed in Pennsylvania. We remained silent as we thought of the vic- tims on the Pentagon crash. Now, our thoughts must turn to our fellow citizens right here at home. As fall approaches, the United Way of Ajax-Pickering, which also serves Uxbridge Township, is gearing up for its annual fund-raising campaign to help provide needed money to the many social services groups in our communities that serve our neighbours, our friends, and our family members. Last year, the local drive raised over $1.5 million, and the year before it was $1.4 million. This year the need is just as great. You’ll be asked to donate what you can to help feed a hungry child, or provide a fresh start for someone who has fallen on hard times, or bring a hot meal to elderly or ailing residents in Ajax and Pickering. At work, you may be asked to donate through your compa- ny’s payroll system. If you do, ensure the money is directed back to your local United Way. But do give what you can. Throughout the fall, the United Way is hosting several com- munity-based events to help raise awareness and funding. If you know of an event in your neighbourhood, make a point of par- ticipating. Or, if you have some expertise in certain areas, con- sider volunteering and sharing your knowledge to make the most of those events. There are dozens of social service agencies in our communi- ties serving thousands of people. They rely on the generosity of local residents — through the offices of the United Way — to continue their good work. One dollar more can make the differ- ence between maintaining a worthy public service and expand- ing it. Please, take a moment to reflect on our good fortune and help spread it throughout Ajax and Pickering. Please think of that neighbour, that friend, that family member who may have been the beneficiary of an agency funded by the United Way. Please dig as deeply as you can this fall. It’s not necessarily a handout as much as it is a hand up to those who need your help right here at home. Give generously this fall; people are relying on you. Please, find a Way to give this fall Your donation to vital campaign touches neighbours, friends, family members www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies.

The electoral district, which would take in parts of every Durham munici- pality except Clarington, would provide a community of interest, reduce the domination of one urban area on rural concerns and increase the focus on Oak Ridges Moraine issues, Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt recently wrote in a letter to Durham’s municipal councils. A federal boundary commission, which is set up every decade to review Canada’s electoral boundaries, recently proposed a new riding structure for Durham. Included in the five revised ridings is Pickering-Durham, which would include all of Pickering, except an urban portion east of Frenchman’s Bay, as well as the three north Durham Townships of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. Both Mayor Moffatt and Uxbridge Regional Councillor Susan Para have expressed concern the urban part of Pickering, representing approximately 50,000 to 60,000 residents, would dom- inate the rural area of the riding, which has only 48,000 residents. In his letter, Mayor Moffatt says a better alignment would be to combine the urban portion of Pickering with 25 per cent of Ajax in one riding. The rest of Ajax would then be combined with the urban part of Whitby, he added, and the south portion of Oshawa could be its own riding. “All of these ridings would be simi- lar in the number of residents (100,000),” Mayor Moffatt suggested. Dan McTeague, MP for Pick- ering-Ajax-Uxbridge, said he has not yet formed his opinion on the proposed Pickering-Durham rid- ing. “At first glance, it struck me as rather strange that you’d have a riding extending from Lake Ontario all the way to Lake Sim- coe,” he said. The commission proposing Canada’s new federal riding boundaries will be stopping in Whitby Nov. 8 to hear public comments on the Durham dis- tricts.

Wang Lab On Premises The day ‘our world was changed forever’ BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Commu- nities across Durham banded together Wednesday to re- member the events of a year ago when thousands of lives were lost and millions more “changed forever. “The sense of peace and security that we had taken for granted in Canada and the United States was shattered,” Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said, in an address to regional council and emer- gency service personnel, in- cluding a large contingent of Durham Regional Police of- ficers, in attendance for the memorial. The regional headquarters service was one of several that took place across Durham. Like many people may have done on the one-year anniversary, the chairman re- called where he was when the tragic events unfolded. “On the morning of Sept. 11 last year, most of our council happened to be here in this room, discussing with our MPPs issues of concern to Durham,” he said, noting the end of the meeting coin- cided with the attacks on the World Trade Center. “To- gether, we watched the col- lapse of the towers in stunned disbelief. The magnitude and meaning of this destruction could hardly be comprehend- ed. Questions of what might happen next filled our minds.” In the weeks that fol- lowed, every Durham resi- dent was affected in some way, the chairman said. “Tasks as simple as open- ing the mail became a threat... we recognized the bravery of firefighters, police officers, paramedics and oth- ers who perished in the res- cue effort. For the first time in decades, Canadian armed forces were called to war. Se- curity plans for every level of government were reviewed and strengthened. Our world was changed forever.” A.J.

(905) 831-2551 Rust Check offers a proven and time-tested automobile body panel protectant for individuals and commercial or municipal fleets, designed to save money and offer peace of mind. Rust Check extends the life of your vehicle allowing you to keep it longer, saving you thousands of dollars in new purchase and maintenance costs. It also helps to maintain structural integrity making your vehicle safer in the event of collision. From its foundation in Hepworth, Ontario in 1973, Rust Check has become one of the largest rust inhibitor associations in the world. The Rust Check centre in Pickering is franchise owned and operated by Alvin McMillan, and managed by Paul Bogaert. The Rust Check formula is applied as a pressurized spray using specialized equipment. The formula dispels moisture and treats the metal with a corrosion-inhibiting layer to create an effective barrier against the moisture that causes rust. The light liquid consistency of Rust Check helps it to seep into weld seams, folds, joints and crevices that thicker materials can miss. This protection is especially important with today’s unitized body construction on most modern vehicles. With their annual application from an authorized Rust Check dealer, all new cars and used vehicles that qualify can be warranted forever against inner panel rust perforation (ask for details). The new Rust Check Coat & Protect application is essentially a thicker version of Rust Check, with good adhesion and wash resistance, making it ideal for exposed undercarriage areas. Ask about their all-new DRIPLESS version of the Rust Check product with a heavier consistency. Rust Check also offers paint finish protection using Meguiar’s surface care products, plus Rust Check’s Liquid Bedliner and Multi- Purpose Coating.

Political parties have promised to do some- thing about the latter, but there’s nothing that can be done about the former. It happens to everyone and while we may not like it, at some point in time, we’re probably going to make an involuntary visit to a funeral director. But, what about those who make this their job. Why? It’s not glamorous and it’s the butt of many a joke. As the saying goes, some- body’s got to do it. Often, being a funeral director is a family thing, following in dad’s footsteps. Bill Low has done it for 54 years, having followed his father and grandfather. “When I grew up I drifted into it. When they got out of high school, my boys did. My dad was 17 when he started,” he says. Low and Low in Uxbridge has been a fam- ily business for 125 years. “There aren’t many fourth-generation businesses around. A lot (of funeral homes) started as a family business,” Mr. Low points out. In the past few years, like most businesses, “the big guys have been gobbling up” small family-run funeral homes. Dino Accettone, the owner of Accettone Funeral Home in Ajax, agrees most homes are ‘generational’, with children following their fathers, who had followed their fathers, al- though, he didn’t. “Most want to get into it. I was an accident. I liked it and I stayed,” he says, adding he did- n’t want to further explain. Scott McEachnie and his brother Dave fol- lowed in their father’s path at McEachnie Fu- neral Home in Pickering Village. “Traditionally, the business has been that way,” Scott says. The business aspect of funeral homes may be changing more slowly than funerals them- selves, according to Mr. Accettone. “Twenty years ago it was two days of view- ing and a service, and the funeral was in a church,” Mr. Accettone says. Now, many opt for a same-day service or immediate cremation with no service, he adds. “Take a look at the funeral your grandpar- ents had and the funeral (you will have),” he notes. “The population is so transient, it’s more difficult to have a traditional funeral.” Mr. Low agrees there’s been a big change in funerals. When he began in the business, they were usually held at the home of the de- ceased, not at a chapel. “We did the preparation work here, the em- balming, and then went back to the house, he says, adding for “big ones”, a church service was held. When funerals moved out of the house, they went to the church. Now, most are done in the funeral home’s chapel. Low and Low built its chapel in 1948. Back when travel was by horse and buggy, “you were doing the embalming in the home. My dad and granddad did embalming in homes,” Mr. Low says. “They had a board and they did it in the bedroom. Thank God that’s stopped.” What hasn’t changed is the 24-hour nature of the job. As Mr. Accettone says, “Mr. Death knocks at any time. “I’m not fond of an an- swering service. If it’s 2 a.m., I wouldn’t want to talk to an answering service,” he adds. Maybe the family has been “waiting at the hospital for two or three days and they don’t know what time it is,” he notes. Having the funeral director answer the phone is “refreshing. It eases their mind. It makes it easier all around,” Mr. Accettone states. “For the number of times it happens, one or two times a month, you get a phone call in the middle of the night.” Scott McEachnie agrees with having the funeral director answer the phone. “We are on call. You can speak to (Dave) or I and not speak to an answering service,” he says. “With palliative care, when the person dies at home, “we’re able to respond. The funeral director is someone available 24 hours a day.” Mr. Low notes, “Somebody is on call to see people, especially when the police call at 4 a.m. and say ‘we need your services on re- gional road whatever.’” Whatever time the call comes, a funeral di- rector will have to deal with loved ones. That can be stressful, Mr. McEachnie points out. “We’re only human as well and we feel for their loss. We help them start on the road to re- covery,” he says.” At that point, they walk out and thank us for what we did. It can be very re- warding.” Mr. Accettone states, “I take that I’m help- ing people at the worst time of life. I don’t want to use the world exhilarating. It’s reward- ing.” Often, the deceased may have been ill and death isn’t such a shock, so the funeral direc- tor is “able to work with them”, he adds. “People are living longer, 90 to 100 years. You have to be able to handle grief,” Mr. Low notes. “Like doctors, you have to be able to stand back a bit. You’re there to help. You can’t get too emotionally involved, although you do a bit.” With time and experience “you get use to it. Some are harder to work with than others. It’s only human nature. Most are pretty good. Some strike out at any little thing,” he says. “You keep your cool. When people are expe- riencing a loss, they strike out at people they don’t mean to. Often, they come back in to apologize. The majority you deal with are good.” The stress is, of course, higher when a child dies. “The most difficult is a child. If they were 80 years old, you’re able to talk about the fam- ily and about their life. It’s a celebration of life. With a child, it’s a question of why,” Mr. Ac- cettone notes. If it’s a child, “it hurts us all as parents. We’re only human too,” Mr. McEachnie adds. Training to be a funeral director includes a one-year course at Humber College in Etobi- coke, followed by another year of training at a funeral home. The French-language Collège Boréal in Sudbury also offers training. Mr. Low apprenticed at a funeral home in Toronto for a year and at one in Hamilton for another year. School may be one year now, but for Mr. Low it was six weeks. Students take biology, physiology and “a whole bunch of ‘ologies’. A little education never hurt anybody,” he says. “The educational requirements have gone up a lot. That’s a good thing for sure. They get a background in a whole lot of subjects.” But, “the real education is at the funeral home. At school, they only teach the basics.” While the funeral business has changed over time, one aspect remains steady –– help- ing survivors on the path to recovery. Scott McEachnie (above) and his brother Dave followed their father into the funeral business, continuing to operate McEachnie Fu- neral Home in Pickering Village. Preparing for services DURHAM —Embalming. The act of preserving a body. I t ’ s not dinner table talk, but if you’re going to be buried, you’ll probably be em- balmed. According to the Ontario Funeral Service Association, there’s no require- ment that a body be embalmed. Funeral directors embalm a body, a process that Bill Low says, “takes a couple of hours, unless you run into a problem that takes longer.” Embalming involves replacing the blood with formaldehyde and other chemicals. “ I t p r e s e r v e s t h e b o d y a n d makes it look better,” a d d s M r . L o w , a funeral director for 54 years. Embalming has three aspects — disinfection, preservation and beautifi- cation. There’s also dressing the de- ceased, doing cosmetic work and putting them into the casket. “It takes three hours on average. That’s preparation and not counting going to the hospital and getting them and everything else involved,” M r . L o w notes. A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 www.durhamregion.com BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Where has the time gone? Durham College is 35 years old this year, and most of the 1,800 students who graduated in June are working or seeking a job. Compare that to the first- year graduating class, in the summer of love that was 1969, when just 53 gradu- ates tossed their caps in the air. Lori Connor, the col- lege’s alumni officer, said the college is celebrating by holding its first Homecom- ing Weekend, Sept. 20 and 21, offering grads a chance to catch up with old friends and marvel at how little DC has grown to become one of the most respected colleges in the province, boasting over 30,000 total graduates. “We have over 5,000 full-time students now, so our numbers are growing, our programs are changing and growing,” said Ms. Connor, a 1978 graduate. She noted that even within the more recent his- tory a lot has changed at the college, what with the new south wing and new front entrance. “The group that we’re trying to attract has proba- bly never seen the student centre,” said Ms. Connor. They’ll get their chance in a few weeks. The two days of events kick off with an informal get-together at E.P. Taylor’s, the pub on the Oshawa campus. Saturday is the big one, though, a fun-filled day at the Os- hawa campus that isn’t just for grads. There’s face painting, clowns and a jumping castle for the younger set — the future grads, if you will. “We want folks to come back and bring the kids,” said Ms. Connor. Graduates and their fam- ilies can also tour new buildings and divisional rooms with yearbooks and other memorabilia to take them back in time. A special invitation goes out to 1977 grads, now in the 25-year club, on Satur- day at 2:30 p.m. “We’re inviting the class of ‘77 to a special reception for their 25th,” said Ms. Connor, noting refresh- ments and cake will be served and hopefully some original faculty members will be on hand. On Saturday night there’s a dinner-dance at the Pickering Recreation Complex, with a live and silent auction, and Elvis, Madonna and other tribute artists providing entertain- ment. The event is in sup- port of the college’s schol- arship and bursary pro- gram.

The latest numbers for the 2002- 03 school year show enrolment for first-year students has jumped 14 per cent over last year to 3,199 stu- dents and overall enrolment is up nine per cent to 5,372 students. “We’re seeing a significant num- ber of students entering the college who have fast-tracked through high school to avoid the double cohort of Grade 12 and Grade 13 (OAC) stu- dents vying for post-secondary edu- cation in 2003,” said Gary Polon- sky, president of Durham College and the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology. “Students and parents must be reassured that we are well-prepared to meet the needs of students, now and in the future.” This year’s increase is the biggest during the last five years among Ministry-funded programs in Durham College. As a result there are 50 additional staff, includ- ing 17 full-time faculty to support the growth. Currently the college is complet- ing its largest expansion in its 35- year history. It will increase its aca- demic facilities by 30 per cent and make room for an additional 2,509 students at its Oshawa campus, and another 500 at the Skills Training Centre Whitby campus. Durham has received $28.75 million in funding to expand and renovate its campuses. The overall cost of the project is $50.5 million, which sev- eral corporate sponsors have helped make possible. The expansion includes a recent 23,000 square foot centre for inte- grated justice studies, a new 10,000 sq. ft. integrated manufacturing centre, 96,000 sq. ft. south wing for the college’s new learning area in- cluding 175 computer stations, health science classrooms, labs, of- fices, a William’s Coffee Pub, and more. In September 2003, the college welcomes the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s first class. The university will share selected facilities with Durham College.

Durham Regional Police said offi- cers were called after a female suspect entered a Bloor Street Tim Hortons at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, snatched a ‘Kids Camp’ charity box from the counter and ran out of the store. The bandit was seen fleeing in a green car, which was involved in a minor collision at Wentworth Street and Park Road before driving off, po- lice said. Witnesses provided police with a li- cence plate number of the suspect ve- hicle, leading officers to a Courtice ad- dress and the subsequent arrest. Police suspect the woman of swip- ing charity boxes from several Tim Hortons across the region in recent weeks, and believe she had an accom- plice. Four in Whitby were targeted, in- cluding one store that was hit twice, while the others were franchises in Ajax, Oshawa and Courtice, police said. In one, a witness was assaulted while trying to stop the thief. None of the stolen donated money - the total amount is unknown - has been recovered, although the investi- gation is continuing, police said. Stacey E. Mazanik, 31, of Nash Road, is charged with 13 counts of theft under $5,000. She also faces counts of robbery and breach of undertaking. She was detained pending a bail hearing. Police ask anyone with infor- mation about case to call detec- tives at the Whitby Community Police Office at 950-579-1520, ext. 1832, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. SALES CENTRE HOURS MON.

Most people say it is a very special kind of freedom to cruise this continent’s most beautiful inland water routes in their own private family houseboat. The 386-kilometre Trent- Severn Waterway of Ontario, for example, is a National Historic Site illustrating an extraordinary engineering feat of 36 conven- tional locks, a boat railway, and two of the highest hydraulic lift locks in the world. Pine forests and parkland sur- round the quiet coves and sand beaches of 20 lakes and at least a dozen rivers. Landmarks include Pigeon, Balsam, Sturgeon, and Stoney lakes, as well as the com- munities of Buckhorn, Bobcay- geon, Rosedale and Fenelon Falls. Houseboat vacations com- bine the advantages of cottage living with the adventure of trav- el and exploration. You can explore a different Ontario town or village every day without the worry of ac- commodation. Pre- pare your own meals on board, or enjoy dining out at countless restau- rants. Stop for shopping, lakeside golf, swimming or fishing anytime you please. Soak up the sun, enjoy the scenery, make new friends at the locks, or find a secluded wilder- ness bay for relax- ation.

Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 13, 2002 The spectacular colours of a New York autumn mean more than just pretty scenery to those in the state’s travel and tourism industry. The fall foliage season means big business for New York. It’s the state’s second-busiest travel season (after summer), and its impact on the travel industry has been steadily increasing. Activity during the peak foliage months, September and October, now represents about 15.5 per cent of the state’s annual total. This so-called ‘shoulder season’ has become a popular time for week- end getaways and week-long vaca- tions, as well as the traditional drive to the country to view nature’s colourful display. — News Canada Explore the beauty of rolling down the Trent In the foliage business Renting a houseboat offers plenty of incredible views and sites when travelling along the 386-kilometre long Trent- Severn Waterway. Pickering actor also busy doing other TV work PICKERING —A TV drama featuring Pickering’s Gino Marrocco will debut on Canadian television this week- end. Veteran actor Marrocco stars in an episode of the Mary Hig- gins Clark mystery series enti- tled ‘Lucky Day’. The show originally aired on the U.S. Pax network in May, but will have its premier on Canadian TV on CHCH-TV in Hamilton this Sunday at 9 p.m. The episode, filmed in Toron- to last February, features Mar- rocco as ‘Bill’, an ordinary yet lovable man whose life has been derailed with the death of his wife. Now widowed, Bill contin- ues to work for a New York City courier company, which also employs a woman and her hus- band who’ve befriended Bill since the death, explained Mar- rocco. One day, however, the co- worker notices something unex- plainably different about Bill. She tells Bill she woke up that morning and recalled a premoni- tion that it would be his lucky day. Her prediction proves prophetic as Bill later discovers he has won $13.5 million in the lot- tery. En route to a celebra- tion with friends, howev- er, Bill is murdered. The rest of the story, said Marrocco, is the woman’s unyielding de- sire to uncover Bill’s killer. While the summer months have been a relaxing time for most, Marrocco has continued to be busy with acting projects. He is currently putting the finishing touches on two such endeavours: one starring Harvey Keitel and another featuring country and western singer turned actor Billy Ray Cyrus. He’s also appeared in an episode of ‘Queer as Folk’ and has also worked in a ‘Pepsi’ commercial.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU P L A Y LPA A C E IRRADIATED BEEF International Dairy Queen is always a step ahead in the quality of it’s food products. You’ve seen it in the high quality of our desserts, the very best all white meat chicken products and of course our delicious burgers that taste like beef and not fat. Yes people have the misconception that we are more expensive but if you check the size and quality of our products you know how erroneous that is. And of course our salads are the toast of the fast food industry. Another aspect of the DQ quality is the corporation’s attention to food preparation and packaging. What is irradiated beef ? Irradiating beef is what pasteurization is to milk. Dairy Queen in partnership with the Surebeam corporation has begun irradiating it’s beef burgers in 30 test stores. The DQ burgers are prepared fresh, flash frozen and packaged. Then in a matter of seconds the package of hamburger patties passes quickly through a concentrated beam of electrons breaking the DNA chains of harmful bacteria that can cause food borne illness. This is an extra layer of safety before the burger is even cooked and doesn’t in any way alter the taste or texture of the product. We are the first. We are the pioneers. Such is the integrity of IDQ. We are quality and we are class. WHAT’S NEW AT DQ? DQ SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

An ensemble cast comes together to tell a story of laughter, community and haircuts. A little off the top and over the top in Barbershop The following movies are debuting at theatres this week- end. BARBERSHOP Starring Ice Cube, Anthony Anderson Directed by Tim Story ‘Barbershop’ is an ensem- ble comedy about a day at a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin (Ice Cube) inherited the struggling business from his father but sees it as a bur- den and waste of time. After selling the shop to a loan shark, however, Calvin begins to see his father’s vi- sion and legacy –– and strug- gles with the notion that he just sold it out. Calvin’s Barbershop is a gathering place for an eclectic, comic cast of characters. Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer) is an old-time barber with a big mouth, strong opinions, and no customers. College student Jimmy (Sean Patrick Thomas) has a superiority complex and can’t stand Isaac (Troy Garity), the white barber who just wants a shot at cutting some hair. Ricky (Michael Ealy) is an ex- con with two strikes against him who’s trying to stay straight, and Terri (rap star Eve) is a hard-edged woman who can’t seem to leave her two-timing boyfriend. An all-star cast comes to- gether to tell a story of laugh- ter, community and haircuts. STEALING HARVARD Starring Jason Lee, Tom Green, Leslie Mann Directed by Bruce McCulloch John (Jason Lee) and Elaine (Leslie Mann) have vowed to get hitched once they save $30,000 for their dream house. When they can finally af- ford to walk down the aisle, John’s sister Patty (Megan Mullally) calls with the news that his niece Noreen has been accepted at Harvard. Patty reminds John of his promise to pay for Noreen’s college tuition, which costs $28,879 and is due in two weeks. Unable to tell his girl- friend, John turns to his friend Duff (Tom Green) to help him make the dough in two weeks through petty crime.

The upstart Rams will be part of the 11-team Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior foot- ball loop this season. The Rams are cur- rently preparing for their first ever varsi- ty game, against the perennial power- house Henry Street High School Hawks of Whitby at the Ajax school Friday, Sept. 20 at 1:30 p.m. “It will be a test for us, right from the get-go,” noted head coach Derek Rush- ton, who’ll be aided by assistant coach- es Tim Craine and Don Westlake, a Uni- versity of Guelph hall of fame line- backer and running back. Rushton’s currently in the process of paring a group of 51 hopefuls down to a final roster of 45. Rushton’s had some experience get- ting a fledgling program off the ground, after serving as a coach with the Exeter High School Falcons when the former school launched its football program two years ago. With the closure of Ex- eter, the coach has brought his pigskin expertise to Ajax High. The school’s administration and stu- dent body, noted Rushton, has embraced football. There’s talk of providing a PA announcer at all home games, but that’s still in the works. “There’s a lot of enthusiasm, which is really great to see,” said Rushton. He credits principal Shirley Smith with spearheading the plan to field a team. In concert with physical education head, Brad White, Smith was instru- mental in securing the funding and equipment needed to get a club up and running. “We’re very excited and actually think we’ll have a good team this year,” said Smith. “I’m looking forward to our first game.” “There was huge interest,” added Rushton. “We had 60 or so kids at the first meeting. We told them we needed a 100-per cent commitment from each athlete, so we found we had 51 at the first practice.” The outlook for the team, he noted, is very positive with a number of strong athletes in the mix, along with a number of young players who are relatively new to the sport. “I think we have a lot of good ath- letes and I think we should be competi- tive,” noted Rushton. “It will just de- pend on how well we jell as a team.” The Rams will see their first pre-sea- son action in a controlled scrimmage against the Sinclair Secondary School Celtics of Whitby on Monday after- noon. NOTES:The Rams will compete in LOSSA senior football’s West Division with the defending champion St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs, Pine Ridge Pumas, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars and the Dunbarton Spartans. In the East are the Bowmanville Redmen, Paul Dwyer Saints, Henry Street Hawks, Sinclair Celtics, Uxbridge Tigers and the Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Chargers... the Rams won’t be the only new team in the LOSSA senior ranks this season. Notre Dame will also play its inaugural sea- son... Surprisingly, the Pickering High School Trojans will only field a junior team. The school has been a LOSSA powerhouse at the senior level for many years... Whitby’s Anderson Collegiate, which hasn’t fielded a football team in many years, will have a junior squad. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 PAGE 29 A/P FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20 Oshawa Civic Auditorium Tickets start at $69.00 (+ applicable charges)Gold Circle Seating available.

The Panthers start the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference regular season on the road Satur- day night in Markham against the Waxers. A night later, Pickering faces the Aurora Tigers of the North Conference in its home opener at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. But, it’s anybody’s guess if the Panthers are indeed ready when the curtain goes up. The team had an abbreviated exhibition sea- son, consisting of only three games at the an- nual OHA Pre-Season Tournament in Vaugh- an last weekend. According to first-year head coach Jim Wilson, the team put together only one solid effort, ironically a 4-3 loss to a junior team from Lowell, Massachusetts. The Panthers earned only one win, a 6-4 win over the Oakville Blades in the first game, while fin- ishing out the event with a lacklustre 6-4 loss to the Streetsville Derbys. Following the team’s loss to Streetsville, Wilson was impressed with his team’s ability to put the puck in the net. He was, however, concerned with the team’s lack of focus de- fensively in the run up to the regular season. “We have an enormous amount of team defence to work on. In terms of team de- fence, we’re allowing far too many goals against us,” he says. The Panthers may not have had an exten- sive exhibition season, but that’s not to say the team hasn’t preparing mightily for the season. The team’s roster has been essential- ly intact since mid-summer, with only minor tinkering at the main training camp late last month. The length of time the team has been together should put it in good stead to jump out of the gate quickly when the real season starts. As with most tier II junior clubs, this year’s roster bears very little resemblance to the one of a year ago. In fact, only four play- ers remain: goaltender Scott Gray, and for- wards Michael Alexiou, Ryan Taylor and Brent Chandler. The Panthers, however, have brought in veterans from other junior ‘A’teams this year to bolster what’s essentially a rookie squad. Forwards James Gadon, formerly of the St. Michael’s Buzzers, Andrew Gilbert, of the Thornhill Rattlers, Michael Freeman of the North York Rangers, and defenceman Dennis Colterman, brought over from the Bramalea Blues via the trade route, are all expected to contribute in a major way until the rookies can get their feet wet. Gray is expected to see the bulk of the load this season, but Wilson believes backup Michael Fini, who played with the Wexford midget ‘AAA’ squad last year, will provide the perfect complement to Gray. Even the coaching staff has changed 180- degrees from last year. Longtime coach Wil- son — a high school teacher in Toronto by trade — was brought in this season to suc- ceed Bill Purcell who stepped down after last season. Wilson has been a coach at every level over the past 30 years, including last season as the head coach of the junior ‘A’ North York Rangers. Among the Panthers’rookie class this sea- son are three players who’ve toiled in the Ajax-Pickering ‘AAA’ Raiders system. An- drew Dissanayake, a forward with the ‘AAA’ midgets, and defencemen Ryan Annesley, of the bantams, and Shawn Coultice, of the midgets, have nailed down roster spots. Although the team is young, Wilson said he’s impressed with the speed and skill of his forwards, along with his goaltending tandem. All this, he hopes will add up to a successful season. “Much more important than age is attitude and commitment. We just believe that char- acter, commitment and skills on the ice are the most important things the boys can bring to the team,” he said. Next weekend, Pickering plays in the league’s annual College Weekend games at the Erin Mills Twin Arenas in Mississauga. All league teams see action, with the Pan- thers suiting up against the Collingwood Blues of the North Conference Sept. 21 at noon. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:There are a couple of new wrinkles with league rules this season. A fast faceoff rule comes into being, along with the five-minute overtime consisting of four-on-four play... The Parry Sound Shamrocks of the North Conference have taken a year’s leave of absence... North Conference teams will play an interlocking schedule with the South Conference.

Falling behind 1-0 after the opening frame, Telus battled back to tie the game and take a 2-1 lead in the second period. The Bears, however, came back later in the frame. Jessica Allen and Jackie Jarell scored for the Light- ning. Kari Foley and Shan- non Grimbly had the Mis- sissauga goals. On Sept. 8, Telus was de- feated in its pre-season opener by the Brampton Thunder 7-3. The Lightning continues its exhibition schedule with a game at the Hershey Cen- tre in Mississauga against the Ice Bears Sunday after- noon. The team is also slat- ed to play the Brampton Thunder in Brampton Sat- urday, Sept. 21. The Lightning will com- pete in the Central Division with Brampton, Missis- sauga and the Beatrice Aeros.

The week runs Sept. 15 to 21 and the Royal Canadi- an Legion Ajax Branch 322 has a variety of events planned, with the public in- vited to drop in for a visit during the day or evening. The 430 Legion branches across Ontario use the week to let the public know what legionnaires do in their communities. There are more than 170,000 members in Ontario, including about 1,200 in Ajax. Among the programs le- gions are involved in are youth education and sports, and seniors activities. One initiative of the Ajax branch is a contribution of $100,000 towards the new central library. On Sunday, Sept. 15, the ladies’ auxiliary kicks off the week with an afternoon of fun, highlighted by Elvis impersonator Dan Jackman. It runs from 2 to 6 p.m. with Elvis performing many of his standards. Admission is free and a hot buffet will be served, at a nominal price. Those attending the con- cert are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for local food banks. Magic Michael will as- tonish and astound Thurs- day, Sept. 19 from 8 to 10 p.m. Again, admission is free and everyone is welcome to see if the hand is quicker than the eye. One of the legion’s favourite entertainers, Lind- say Morgan, performs Fri- day, Sept. 20, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The Ajax legion is at 111 Hunt St. For more information, call 905-683-2927.

Catholic students can look to Whitby duo for ‘leadership, assistance’ this year DURHAM —Two Whitby stu- dents are the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board’s new student trustees. At the Sept. 9 board meeting in Os- hawa, Claudia Chu, a Grade 11 stu- dent at Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School, and Adam Morri- son, in Grade 12 at All Saints Catholic Secondary School, sat at the board table to begin their one-year term. “We had quite a few applicants and we set very high expectations,” board chairman Mary Ann Martin said at the meeting. “And, I must say, Adam and Claudia exceeded those expectations.” Father Phil Jones from St. Leo’s Catholic Church in Brooklin led the students through the board’s student representative affirmation of faith, in which they pledged to “provide lead- ership and assistance to fellow stu- dents”. Education director Grant Edwards then had the students sign a declara- tion of oath and allegiance. Student representatives became mandatory with the passing of the province’s Education Quality Im- provement Act. Whitby high school students Adam Morrison, left, and Claudia Chu are new Catholic student trustees. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 13, 2002 PAGE 33 A/P 416-751-HIND In the Heart of Scarborough CRAIG HIND, EASY TO FIND, LAWRENCE AT BIRCHMOUNT 35 YEARS WARDENBIRCHMOUNTKENNEDYMARKHAMLAWRENCE AVE.

More silver needed in 2003 to pump iron in Ajax Town increases membership fees at fitness centres BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —It’s going to cost some health club members more to work up a sweat at the Town’s community centres. Starting in January, those with non-prime hour memberships will have to fork out almost $40 more over each of the next three years. The increases, approved by Ajax council Monday, will see the elimination of the non-prime membership, so all adult mem- bers will pay $351 annually after the increases are fully imple- mented. Non-prime hours currently run from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. The amount seniors pay will also increase by about $20 a year. At the end of the three-year peri- od, the seniors’ annual rate will be $176. Councillors approved keeping the seniors, youth and student rates at 50 per cent of the adult rate. Speaking to council’s general government committee last week, recreation services director Tom Flood stated, “So seniors don’t feel they’re being hit hard (be- cause they pay 50 per cent of the adult), staff are working hard to cap the full fee at $351.” But, Mr. Flood added “unfore- seen costs” could see the adult rate increase over the next three years, so the $351 rate isn’t guar- anteed. Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson said the “increase across the board is 50 per cent over three years” and questioned if it was too high. “I personally don’t feel 50 per cent over three years, considering the maximum in one year is about $40, I don’t think it’s too high,” Mr. Flood replied. Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown noted, “The increase won’t be met with any glee by those members, that’s for sure.” AJAX —A support group holds a 10-week workshop for di- vorced or separated fathers. Dads Aiming for Direction and Support (DADS) is a group offer- ing aid to fathers during a time of personal crisis.
