BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —Residents reacted in a ho-hum manner when the Outlaws Motorcycle Club opened a club- house in south Ajax. Now, following a raid that brought dozens of ar- rests and turned up numerous weapons and drugs at several Outlaws clubhouses in Ontario, that doesn’t seem to have changed. The raids, conducted by several police organiza- tions, including the Durham Regional Police, RCMP and OPP, were conducted early Wednesday morning. Heavily armed Durham police officers were on the scene at the Ajax location. Dubbed Project Retire, the raids resulted in the ar- rests of 35 members of the Outlaws, four former members, and three Black Pistons, known as associ- ates of the Outlaws. Charges include attempted mur- der, along with drug and weapon offences. None of the arrests came in Ajax. In addition, warrants are outstanding on four other Outlaw members. Project Retire was a three-year investigation in- volving 14 police services and more than 500 police officers. The Outlaws opened its Ajax clubhouse at 855 Westney Rd. S. during the summer. The club rented space at the rear of the building. “I haven’t even seen them,” said Cindy (who re- fused to provide her last name), who works in a near- by business. “I know they’re there.

A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, September 27,2002 www.durhamregion.com BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Oshawa may have to wait to get answers to the detailed questions the City has on the proposed $70-million regional headquarters. Oshawa city manager John Brown sent several questions per- taining to the new headquarters, which is currently undergoing a re- quest for proposal (RFP) process, to the Region’s chief administra- tive officer. The Region issued an RFP Sept. 10 to five companies following approval by regional council to proceed in July. At that time, however, several details, in- cluding the size of the building, were left undecided. But the City won’t get an im- mediate response to its inquiry if regional council passes the recom- mendation of its finance and ad- ministration committee, which has suggested the answers will be evi- dent at the end of the RFP process. Oshawa, like all other municipali- ties, should wait until the RFP re- sults are compiled, committee members determined. “This is nothing to do with just Oshawa. Every resident in Durham Region will be paying for this,” said Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor. “The answers will come out as part of the process.” But Oshawa Councillor Clare Aker said the problem for Oshawa is trying to get information out to the public about the project when there is no definitive information on key issues such as the size of the building. “The concern for Mr. Brown is conflicting information. He wanted to make sure he is reporting with clear information. The fact these questions can’t be answered very quickly is a concern. Council should know this. The RFP should be very clear.” Some of the questions Oshawa has asked include: • What size is the Region proposing in the RFP for the new administrative building; • What are the current projec- tions on the floor space required for future growth; • What is the proposed capital cost of the building (estimates range from $50 million to $70 mil- lion); • Does the capital cost include furniture, technology and equip- ment; • What is the existing cost for lease and rental of buildings; • How many regional offices will be consolidated into the new building; • What will the tax impact be and how does the Region propose to pay for additional costs related to the building, including total esti- mated debt, debenturing and tax increases. After approval by regional council for an RFP in July, there were no further reports detailing this information brought back to council. Jack McCorkell, the Region’s Commissioner of Works,says a de- tailed study was conducted by staff over the summer on the needs of each department. Based on this study, it was determined the RFP should be for a 290,000-square foot building not including a possi- ble additional 40,000-square foot extension for police services. The size was never brought back to council for approval be- cause “we felt we were within the guidelines approved by council,” explains Mr. McCorkell. The final submission date from the five firms invited to submit a proposal is Nov. 10. Mr. Mc- Corkell says he expects a report back to council with the submis- sions before Christmas. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 27, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P Oscar from Crossings pickeringtowncentre.com MALL WIDE JOB FAIR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH & SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH OVER 80 re t ail locations at Pickering Town Centre are hiring new employees • Full-time • Part-time • Seasonal Restaurant SAVOUR DOWNTOWN DINING AT THE NEW UPSCALE PIMENTOS! • Outstanding International Cuisine in the Heart of Downtown Whitby • Elegant Private Room with a Comfortable Setting - Ideal for Medical and Business Meetings • Family Owned and Operated with the Utmost of Care • Sophisticated Food, Fine Wine and Elegant Surroundings *Reservations Required OPEN 6:30AM TIL 11PM DAILY ~ 905-426-2904 ~ BAYWOOD PLAZA ~ 75 BAYLY ST.

A nearby resident, who did- n’t want to be identified, said, “I did hear them one time. I heard all the motorcycles and I wondered what was going on. Goodness, it’s scary when you hear all those motorcycles.” Another resident noted, “I only saw them once, when they came into town one Saturday. They came as a group.” One man said, “I hear the bikers the odd time. I’m not happy it’s a biker gang. They don’t stand for all the virtues of society. I don’t want my kids making contact with them. I’m sure most people in south Ajax feel the same way.” The landlord for the proper- ty where the clubhouse is locat- ed wouldn’t comment on the situation. The Outlaws are a longtime enemy of the Hells Angels, which has a clubhouse in Os- hawa. The Outlaws and Hells An- gels are two of four internation- ally recognized biker gangs, the other two being the Bandidos and Pagans. There are about 70 members of the Outlaws in 10 Ontario chapters. In addition to the arrests, po- lice seized five clubhouses, 11 long guns, 22 handguns, one sawed-off rifle, a sawed-off shotgun, ammunition, blasting caps, gas masks, a sword, body armour, knives and martial arts weapons. Police also said they seized drugs including cocaine, ecstasy, hashish, heroin, mari- juana and percaset, with a value of $156,500. Don Bell, head of the OPP biker enforcement unit (BEU), said the investigation and raids will significantly impact the Outlaws criminal activities. “This investigation validates the Ontario law enforcement position that outlaw motorcycle gangs are organized crime and as such are not welcome in our communities,” he said. “This further demonstrates Ontario’s commitment to the national strategy to combat outlaw mo- torcycle gangs as police contin- ue to remove jurisdictional bor- ders in their fight against orga- nized crime.” Concurring with that assess- ment is Dave Crane, an OPP su- perintendent and chairman of the National Strategy to Com- bat Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs. “Project Retire is an excel- lent example of how the strength of the combined agen- cies in the BEU is our best weapon against outlaw motor- cycle gangs,” he said.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 27, 2002 Retirement isn’t what it used to be. At one time a person spent all his or her working life with one compa- ny, then retired at 65 whether they wanted to or not, because that was the law. But the June Census Canada re- port indicates the retired population is a burgeoning force to be reckoned with. Decent pension plans and ben- efit packages have allowed early re- tirement to become a reality for many, and the concept has been em- braced with enthusiasm. Taking early retirement gives one the opportunity to reflect on the con- tributions made to one’s profession, look forward to new challenges and embark on another stage of life. Everyone I know regards retirement as a new career and planned with that goal in mind. The reasons are many. We are younger and healthier. We still have lots of energy to give new ventures. We still want to contribute to society and have the talent, skills and education to do it. Some of us have gone into other professions, in- creased our volunteer time, gone back to school, joined interest or lobby groups, begun small business- es, taken up new hobbies and activi- ties. The list of contributions we con- tinue to make is endless. Are we over the hill? Not by a long shot, thank you very much. One invaluable aspect of retiring early is the luxury of time. Time to linger over coffee and the newspaper, time to spend with friends over a leisurely lunch, time to read a book and not worry about meeting dead- lines. We have time to work in the garden, spend more time with family and the grandkids, travel, go to the theatre, see a movie in the middle of the day, go to the gym — I could go on but you get the idea. We have learned the hard way, how much the stress of our work- places has affected our health, so we don’t take our newfound freedom for granted. Time won’t be there forever so we use it as profitably as possible and are the better for it. I haven’t regretted taking early re- tirement. Neither have any of my friends and colleagues. Our decision was right for us. The decision to con- tinue working after age 65 is right for others. But whatever the choice, re- tirement as a new career can be as re- warding and fulfilling a journey to a new destination and finding a differ- ent world, full of exciting experi- ences that last a lifetime. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Welcome to a whole new fulfilling career Retirement can be the start of a rewarding journey into a different world of experiences Members of the Region’s finance committee have made the right call in approving as many as 27 new positions for Durham’s three nursing homes. It’s still up to Durham council to make the final decision, but it would only make sense to back the committee’s deci- sion. With the Province committing $100 million toward beefed up staffing at homes across Ontario, why not press ahead? Some on the committee, including Clarington Mayor John Mutton and Pickering Councillor Mark Holland have reserva- tions about approving the hirings. Their chief worry stems from not including the $1.8 million expenditure along with all other budget considerations, still months away. Mayor Mutton cautions the Province has a knack for intro- ducing programs and then pulling out down the road leaving the Region to pick up the shortfall. But, an immediate need by residents in the three homes, Fairview Lodge in Whitby, Hillsdale Manor in Oshawa and Lakeview in Beaverton, trumps future financial considera- tions. As Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor said, there has been “a human outcry from the people we represent for services for seniors in homes. When the ministry comes for- ward and is putting money there, it doesn’t mean we should be cutting back.” To put hours of service per day, per patient into perspective, Ontario residents currently receive 2.04 hours per day, while the number in Manitoba, for comparison sake, is 2.44. The goal set by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care is to hit a three-hour-per-day level. In Durham, residents at Fairview Lodge received 2.72 hours per day of personal care, which would go to three with addi- tional staffing. Hillsdale Manor would rise from 2.39 hours to 2.65, while Lakeview would jump from 2.28 to 2.51 hours per day of service. Looking the $1.8-million gift horse in the mouth also would not reflect well on the Region. As Oshawa Councillor John Gray said, “It would be bad politics when the Province comes out with an extra $100 million and we contemplate scaling back our funding. It doesn’t seem the right thing to do.” Ultimately, simple demographics show the number of se- niors in Durham will grow by an exponential rate over the next few decades. Any time we can add staff to our nursing homes, with pay- ment provided by the Province, it should be an easy decision. We owe our seniors that much.

Dr. Rozanski is to provide recommendations to Educa- tion Minister Elizabeth Wit- mer in November on how to improve the Province’s edu- cation funding formula. Trustee Martin at Mon- day’s board meeting gave trustees a verbal report on how she and education di- rector Grant Andrews fared in delivering the board’s pre- sentation. While a lack of funds was a constant theme amongst boards, she said presenters varied in how they got their message across. “I think they really lis- tened to what we had to say because we didn’t whine and complain,” Trustee Martin told trustees. In the interview she ex- plained some presenters “were just really aggressive” in pressing home their argu- ment, using props like toilet paper to highlight a lack of money. She didn’t favour a dra- matic approach that focused only on criticism. “I think we wanted them to know all of the good things that came out of the funding formula, but also some of the shortfalls in the funding formula,” said Trustee Martin. As a result, the board in its presentation states, “for the reason of equity and fair- ness, this board has always supported the student-fo- cused funding model.” And while the board in its conclu- sion said funding employee contracts, special-education needs and other areas “re- quire immediate attention,” it also states “the current funding model is equitable, for the most part, for all stu- dents and does not require a significant theoretical over- haul.” Instead, the board states information the Province uses to base its funding lev- els, including benchmarks such as the Consumer Price Index, needs to be updated. Ms. Martin said the board is counting on more provin- cial money. “When we passed this (year’s) budget we realized the shortfalls we had and we’ve banked on receiving the money from the govern- ment,” she said. The board used almost $4.5 million in working funds to balance this year’s budget and avoid severe cuts.

AJAX —Former Ajax mayor and Durham chair- man Jim Witty has been ho- noured for his work with the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick- ering hospital. Mr. Witty is the winner of the 2002 Howard Sokolows- ki Award, given annually to an individual who exempli- fies outstanding community leadership and commitment in support of the facility. The award was started in 2001 to recognize outstand- ing volunteer support to the hospital. It’s named for Howard Sokolowski, chief executive officer of Tribute Communi- ties, which has a long histo- ry of volunteer service with the hospital. Mr. Witty, who was se- lected by the foundation’s board of directors, is a for- mer member of the hospital board and a founding mem- ber of the foundation board. He is also the founding member of the annual Pick- ering Town Centre Mayor’s Charity Classic golf tourna- ment, which raises funds for the hospital each year. The 2002 event, held earlier this month, raised $145,000, bringing the seven-year total to $820,000. Funds from the tourna- ment are being used to pay for the expansion of the emergency department and to buy cardiac equipment. The award keepsake, en- titled Reach, was commis- sioned by the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation and created by Durham artist Edward Falconberg. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 27, 2002 PAGE 11 A/P Savings are off our regular prices, unless otherwise specified.

Watch for your contest flyer in the mail A Corus Entertainment Company Durham ITER site gets once-over from international group BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––They’ve been here, done that and have the postcards to prove it. Now international delegates for the ITER (International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reac- tor) proposed international fu- sion research facility are back home with only memories of their two-week stint in Durham and the GTA. From all indications the memories will be good ones, says Dr. Murray Stewart, direc- tor and president of Iter Canada, the organization leading Cana- da’s bid to host the $12-billion energy project in Clarington. “We’re very pleased,” says Dr. Stewart. “It was a good expe- rience all around. The Canadian strengths came out everywhere: the technical merits of the site, our flexibility and multi-cultural capabilities.” Canada’s bid, in competition with three others from Japan, Spain and France, was the first one to undergo the rigourous site-assessment process created through negotiations over the last year. The Japanese site will un- dergo the same inspections in October followed by assess- ments on the European sites be- fore the final assessment reports are submitted in February. A de- cision on which site will get the nod will probably come in March or April, says Dr. Stewart. Although the site assessment for Canada is complete, the in- ternational parties have agreed to keep the information reports on site selection confidential until all the sites have been evaluated, says Dr. Stewart. “That way if there is a negative comment, the country has an opportunity to add information or modify their bid,” to improve it, he says, ex- plaining it isn’t a one-off process like a tender. Although he cannot reveal how the site scored, Dr. Stewart does say Canada’s strong public education system and Clarington and Durham’s infrastucture cer- tainly helped the bid. “The qual- Japanese delegates await their next move during their visit to Durham. From left are Masayuki Ogawa, Misao Hashimoto, Satoru Tanaka and Ken Kajima. JACQUIE McINNES/ News Advertiser photo ity of our services is so far beyond what you find in other countries,” he says. “For example, we don’t propose to build a fire station at the ITER site because the response time from the Bowmanville station is as good as it would be on-site at other locations.” Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who toured with some of the delegations, notes from a socio-economic point of view Clarington is “ahead in leaps and bounds on some of these issues.” During a tour of John M. James Public School in Bowmanville, the Japanese delega- tion was “amazed” to discover it was part of a public education system, the mayor says. In addition to the site assessment, ne- gotiators from all the project partners - Japan, the European Union, the Russian Federation and Canada - met in Toronto to work out more details of the shared venture. As well, local dignitaries from Japan and Spain came to visit the Clarington site. Talks also began on the sharing of the fusion technology that develops through the ITER project. At a luncheon held at Port Darlington Marina, part of a tour of the Clarington area, Ryuji Sato, chief accountant for the Aomori district, said his time in Clarington was “so meaningful. I have learned so much on the conditions of the location and how Iter Canada and Clar- ington have welcomed the delegations.” With the sixth round of negotiations poised to begin at the end of October in Japan, Mr. Sato extended invitations to the municipality to visit the Japan site in return. Meanwhile, environmental and tech- nical studies are ongoing through the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) licensing and regulating process so in the event Canada is cho- sen, the due diligence will be completed and licensing can proceed. Further public meetings on the envi- ronmental assessment are yet to be an- nounced but will be held prior to licens- ing. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 27, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P WHERE OUR CUSTOMERS SEND THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS…SUBSCRIBE TO OUR E-FLYER AT www.campkins.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR E-FLYER AT www.campkins.com HURRY IN FOR THE LOWEST PRICES OF THE YEAR!!

This year’s theme is ‘An Old Western Roundup’and people are encouraged to decorate their vehicles and wear cos- tumes. There are prizes for the best cos- tumes, highest scores and highest pledge collections. It costs $500 to register a corporate car. For non-corporate cars, it’s $35 for adults, $7.50 for children under 15, and a team of four adults is $100. The price includes a tour of Cullen Gardens and a light meal. Residents who can’t make it out to the event can sponsor a car or make a pledge by calling 905-436-6754, by vis- iting www.dfcc.org, or by sending it to Durham Family Court Clinic, 44 Rich- mond St. W., Suite 201, Oshawa, ON, L1G 1C7.

Ajax wants to access helpers for new committee AJAX —Volunteers are being sought for an accessibility advisory committee being set up by the Town. Two workshops are scheduled for the end of October to gather input and to discuss areas of interest along with potential goals of the committee. Those interested in services for peo- ple with disabilities are particularly being sought, although everyone is welcome. The first workshop is Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. in the HMS Ajax Room of the Ajax Community Cen- tre, on Centennial Road. The second is Saturday, Oct. 26 at 9 a.m. in the banquet hall of the McLean Community Centre, at West- ney Road North and Magill Drive. Those attending one of the work- shops will be asked if they are inter- ested in serving on the committee. Most Ajax advisory committees meet once a month, although some additional work may be required. Membership is voluntary and the committee will probably have its first meeting later this year. The Ontarians with Disabilities Act requires the Town to set up the committee. Results from the work- shops will be used in a report to coun- cil, outlining a possible committee structure, membership composition, orientation and training requirements, and potential agency partnerships. Both workshop locations are ac- cessible to those with disabilities and a sign-language interpreter will be provided. Buses from the Ajax- Pickering Transit Authori- ty’s specialized services will be available after the work- shops. Participants are re- quired to arrange their own transportation to the work- shops, which could include the specialized bus service. Call is 905-683-4114. For more information or the re- serve a spot, call Andrew Brouwer at 905-619-2529, ext. 342 or e-mail him at andrew.brouwer@townofa- jax.com. DURHAM ––A police dragnet is out for a 24-year-old Oshawa man who has led patrol officers on three separate high-speed pursuits in recent weeks. Originally wanted on fraud-related charges, Adam Simeunovich has evad- ed Durham Regional Police since early August. He has been spotted on three occa- sions, fleeing each time with officers in pursuit. All three chases were called off due to safety concerns, police said. “Right now he’s a public safety issue for us,” said police Sergeant Paul Malik. In the latest attempt to snare the suspect, officers spotted him at 9 a.m. Saturday in a black Pontiac Tempest at Ritson Road South and Olive Avenue. The car, with licence plates ANRK 286, sped away at dangerous speeds, police said. Police are now turning to the public for their assistance. Mr. Simeunovich, of Lorindale Drive, is wanted on sev- eral warrants charged with dangerous driving, flight from police and driving prohibited. Police are asking anyone with in- formation on his whereabouts to call 905-579-1520, ext. 1736, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Water Response Team (WRT) –– a group of water management agencies in Durham –– is issuing a low water advisory. Due to a lack of rain over the past three months, water levels are low and stream flow is below historical averages, says Perry Sisson, director of environmental and engineer- ing services for the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). Dips in the water levels are not uncommon, Mr. Sisson says,“especially in the last few years.” Last year, the water re- serves fell to similar levels but it occurred earlier in the sum- mer season. Residents should try for a 10-per cent reduction in over- all water use, Mr. Sisson says. H e suggests residents cut back on non-essential uses, both at home and at work. Some ways to reduce use include sweeping driveways and sidewalks instead of wash- ing them down with a hose and reducing or stopping lawn and garden watering. “Every little bit counts,”he says. For more information e- mail mail@cloca.com or call CLOCA at (905) 579-0411.

Last month, the local division of UNIGLOBE Normark Travel was selected Agency of the Year from over 80 UNIGLOBE Trav- el offices across eastern Canada. “You’re nothing without a great staff and we wouldn’t be where we are today without everyone pitching in,” said UNIGLOBE Ajax president Mark Crone. Mr. Crone said the key to his success has been focusing on the customer. And, he said the friendly, personalized approach to customer service has enabled UNIGLOBE Ajax to build strong and long-lasting relation- ships with its clients. “UNIGLOBE is the only travel organization that effective- ly combines entrepreneurial leadership with global benefits,” he said. Honour a loved one’s memory at Pine Ridge ‘Touchstone of memories’being unveiled next week AJAX —A dedication ceremony is being held Sunday, Oct. 6 for the community epitaph at Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens. The ‘touchstone of memories’ was unveiled during the annual beautification day in June at the cemetery, on Taunton Road between Westney Road and Church Street, in Ajax. “We feel it’s important to offer the community an opportunity to visit the cemetery under positive cir- cumstances,” Pine Ridge manager Gary Gentles said. He noted there’s a waterfall gar- den, home to white swans and other wildlife, making it an appropriate re- flective setting. “The response to the touchstone of memories was overwhelming and quickly filled with the names of loved ones. “People who weren’t able to add the name of their loved ones can at- tend the dedication ceremony and add their loved one’s name to our waiting list. If there’s enough inter- est, we may be able to add another epitaph.” The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and is open to everyone. For more infor- mation, call 905-427-5416.

But winter always has a way of sneaking up on us. That’s why you should never wait too long to winterize your home. Late September is the perfect time to make cer- tain checks around your home and to make any necessary repairs. Since the temperature this time of year is generally between 22°C and 25°C, it’s not too hot to work, but is still warm enough to apply sealing products such as caulking. During the summer months, the sun has heat- ed your home, including the tiles on your roof. Some may have dried out, and with the stormy, windy fall weather, these damaged tiles could easily come off. Maybe the sealant around your win- dows is also dry and cracked. Or how about the joints around your garage door? It’s time to check and repair these possible prob- lems-before the cold weather arrives. Not only should you check the tiles on your roof, but you should also ensure the flashing around your chimney is in good condition and that chim- ney itself is in good shape. Also, check the sealing materials around your home’s air vents, skylights and windows. Then, check the covering materials of your exterior walls and joints, as well as the condition of the home’s foundation. Also make sure that your eavestroughing and downspouts will be able to carry water away from the foun- dation. A good inspection of your doors’ air- tight seals is equally important. And last but not least, make sure you get this check-up done before “frosty” comes to town.

AJAX — Linda Haslett’s green thumbs have been given the thumbs up. Ms. Haslett was the overall winner of the 2002 Ajax in Bloom competition and received The Red Rose of Lancaster Award, named after the Town’s official flower. The garden, at 185 Rands Rd., has an arbour entering an English- style garden and Ms. Haslett said she’s “very proud” of her accom- plishments. “It was a lot of work. I did a lot of planning. I did research on the Internet for over a year,” Ms. Haslett says, adding she also sought advice from others. “I’m an absolute avid gardener. This garden is my dream,” she adds. “I wanted it to be right the first time.” The competition is held annu- ally to encourage residents and business owners to keep Ajax beautiful. To be eligible, gardens must be visible from the street curb. In the residential category, top three winners were named for each of the four municipal wards and then the overall winner was picked. There’s also a business category and for the first time, two special recognition awards. In Ward 1, the first place win- ner was at 21 Addley Cres., sec- ond place was 7 Stockbridge Cres., and third was 16 Horne Ave. In Ward 2, 70 Booth Cres. was first, 46 Tawn Cres. second and 120 Hibbard Dr. third. In Ward 3, Ms. Haslett was first, 44 Anstead Cres. was second and 31 Harbord Cres. third. In Ward 4, 36 Bryant Rd. was first, 125 Warwick Ave. second and 28 Davey St. third. Sauter’s Inn and Restaurant on Kingston Road in Pickering Vil- lage was the winner in the busi- ness section, followed by Ren- dezvous Eatery and Deli in sec- ond and IPM Hose and Fittings in third. Special recognition awards went to Roland Michener Public School and Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens. The special awards were given to honour gardens that don’t fit into the usual categories. Co-chairman and judging co- ordinator Kathryn Carnegie, who is an Ajax resident and master gardener, said the judges had a real challenge choosing the best gardens. There were more than 100 entries in the fourth year of the competition. New this year is the garden of distinction category, which was created to designate winners of the Red Rose of Lancaster Award. These gardens are retired from competition for three years, but the winners will be given signs to post in their gardens each year. After three years, the gardens can be re-entered in the competition. Sponsors in the silver category this year were the Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser, Lebovic Enter- prises, Runnymede Developments and Tribute Homes, Arnt’s Loam Supply and White Rose Home and Garden Centre. Bronze sponsors were Cos- burn, Giberson Consultants, Durham Digital Imaging, Ontario Power Generation, Vandermeer Nurseries and CUPE Local 54. Red Rose blooms for town gardener A.J.

You’re not alone. This year, thousands of Cana- dians will rent a car with many buying insurance to protect themselves against liability. But what type of insurance do you need and do you need to pur- chase it from a car rental agency? Here are some basic defini- tions that will help take the guesswork out of rental insur- ance: • Collision loss damage insur- ance is a specific type that covers collision damage or theft while renting. It also covers the cost of any valid loss of use charges in- curred by the rental agency while a damaged vehicle is being re- paired or replaced. This type of insurance is available through the car rental agency at a cost; however, some Visa cards cover this insurance at no extra charge; • Third-party liability insur- ance applies when the driver of a rental car is involved in an acci- dent that causes bodily injury or death to another person or per- sons, or does damage to property. This insurance may be included in a personal automobile insur- ance policy and coverage is also available, at an additional cost, from an insurance agent or from car rental agencies; and • Personal effects insurance relates to theft, loss or damage to personal belongings while they are in a rented car. — News Canada A/P PAGE 30 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 27, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Peace of Mind www.cwtleisure.ca or call 1-800-CARLSON (227-5766)www.cwtleisure.ca or call 1-800-CARLSON (227-5766) 135 Harwood Ave. N., Ajax 683-8411 R# 1581994 1200 Airport Blvd. Oshawa Municipal Airport Oshawa 571-2231 R# 2433034 1305 Pickering Pkwy., The Pickering Corporate Centre, Pickering 831-1521 R# 02829556 3050 Garden Street, Whitby 666-8266 Call today! *Toronto departures.Available to Gold Points Rewards cardholders only.All prices are adult per person based on dbl occ.

The 5O-60’s saw the beginning of serving burgers at your car with those trays that hung on the window. A&W perfected It and then Drive Thru’s made service at your car obsolete. Imagine driving up and getting hot food or delicious deserts handed to you at a window! Or driving up to get money from a bank machine by pressing some buttons! Let me tell about the way we operate our DRIVE THRU. First it moves quickly. Yes I know it can seem like an eternity but remember all our desserts are made from scratch. We don’t condiment our burgers in advance. So when you think about it the short wait is worth it when you know you are getting custom made every time! I sat In the drive thru one night when it was backed up the driveway. I was number 13. I was there in ten minutes ! That’s not bad and I was out of there in 2 minutes ! Our staff are friendly and always neat and efficient. Driving up and getting a Banana Split handed to you. It’s so convenient! You’re at home and bored and you get In your car in your pajama’s (so many people do this ) and go over, drive up and get a Chocolate dipped cone. Marvelous. Do you know how many people get a soft serve cone for their pet? Or how many times a whole family feels like Dairy Queen, so they pile into the mini van and drive thru. Police officers, Firefighters, Ambulance operators, Postal workers and Delivery companies are some of our best customers. Some things we won’t do. We won’t ask you to pull ahead when you give us a large order. Why should someone who is spending so much money with us be treated like a second class citizen ? You don’t have to worry about making a custom order and being told to pull ahead. We live for that!

FOR FULL MOVIE LISTINGS, durhamregion.com Defending champions hand young Durham squad 10-1 loss BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor DURHAM —For a Telus Light- ning squad still in the formative stages, drawing a season-opening match against the powerhouse Beat- rice Aeros was somehow not fair. The perennial champion Aeros showed no mercy on the Lightning, which has undergone major lineup changes under a new head coach. The result was a crushing 10-1 defeat for the Lightning in their National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) 2002-03 regular-season debut at the Ajax Community Centre Tuesday night. Far from sugar-coating the result, head coach Peter Perram noted his charges were run over by an Aeros juggernaut complete with a veteran- laden roster that sports several play- ers with international experience. “They have at least seven national team players alone on that team, so it’s always going to be tough to keep them off the scoresheet,” said Perram, who was making his league coaching debut. “To pull them in the first game was a little extra challenge for us.” The three-time defending NWHL champions scored three goals before the Lightning got untracked. Telus scored on the power play midway through the first period with Brenda Reynolds getting the goal, from Laura Church and Jamie Hill. It was all Beatrice after that as the Aeros cruised to a 6-1 lead after one period. The Aeros scored three more in the second and another in the third. Beatrice outshot Telus 43-13. Because of the veteran nature of the Aeros, Perram said Beatrice is al- ready in mid-season form with strong passing and the ability to create of- fensively, thanks to an almost uncan- ny communication among the play- ers. “They’re particularly adept at moving the puck. They have so much familiarity on the ice that you only get through experience. They can al- most do it blindfolded,” explained Perram. Putting the defeat into perspective, Perram suggested the Lightning will be even better prepared and better able to compete with the Aeros in fu- ture games. “It’s always going to be a chal- lenge to play that team. As the season goes on, I think we’ll put up a better fight the next time we play them. They were quite impressed with our club. We’re getting some respect and that’s important,” said Perram. In a week’s time, the Lightning will embark on a road swing through la belle province, playing the Avalanche du Quebec Saturday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. The Lightning are then in Montreal to play the Wingstar Sun- day, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. Perram expects the Lightning to be competitive in both games, and should return home with their first points of the season under their belts, if last season was an indicator. “In years’ past, they were all one- or two-goal games (against the Que- bec-based teams), so hopefully we’ll take a couple of wins.” A/P PAGE 32 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 27, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Durham Business Times Pick it up at professional offices or call 905-426-4676 to be on our mailing list Get with the Times www.durhambusinesstimes.com Du r h a m B u s i n e s s T i m e s PR E S S R U N - - 2 5 , 0 0 0 A M E T R O L A N D B U S I N E S S N E W S P A P E R S E R V I N G D U R H A M R E G I O N $ 1 . 0 0 - - O C T O B E R 2 0 0 2 Mi n a c s W o r l d w i d e r e t u r n s h o m Ma s Delivery and installation must take place by October 27, 2002.

After losing their regular-season opener to the Waxers in Markham earli- er this month, the Panthers responded with a solid performance — including a top-notch effort by goaltender Scott Gray — to post a 5-1 victory in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. The win boosts the Panthers’ league record to 2-4-1 for five points, good enough for a fifth-place tie with the Wexford Raiders in the South Confer- ence standings. The Panthers can leapfrog past the Raiders with a win tonight (Friday) when they host Wexford at the recre- ation complex at 7:30 p.m. In Wednesday’s game, Gray made 38 saves, including 19 in the third period. The Panthers led 2-1 after the first period, but blew the game wide open in the second by scoring three unanswered goals. Mike Alexiou, James Gadon and An- drew Jackson each recorded a goal and an assist. Patrick Miller and Peter Franchin also scored for Pickering.

Step In loving memory of our dear Mother Betty Bourgeois September 27, 2001 God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, So he closed his arms around you And whispered “Come to Me” In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away. Our hearts were truly broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, Peacefully and free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. So keep your arms around her, Lord And give her special care, Make up for all she suffered, That seemed to us unfair. So many times we’ve needed you, So many times we’ve cried. If love could have saved you, You never would have died. Dearly loved and sadly missed, Your Children Rick and Diana, Randy and Elaine, Carol and Jeff, Your Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren 258 In Memoriam 258 In Memoriam Card of Thanks Olena M.
