Nuclear medicine funded by nuclear plant OPG donates $1 million to Ajax hospital for diagnostic clinic BY TONY DOYLE News Editor Local doctors have acquired an impressive set of new eyes for detecting a wide-range of ail- ments, thanks to a $1-million do- nation from Ontario Power Gen- eration (OPG). Officials with the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre (APHC) and OPG, along with dozens of other guests, gathered Wednes- day night at the Pickering Nu- clear Information Centre for the unveiling of the new ‘Ontario Power Generation Nuclear Medi- cine Clinic’. The clinic, which hospital of- ficials are optimistic will be oper- ating this fall, will allow doctors to focus exams on various organs within the body and how they are functioning and see if there are any abnormalities that would oth- erwise not be detected through other diagnostic testing. The announcement also served to bring the hospital’s Vital Signs campaign into sharp focus as it works toward its goal of raising $13.7 million as part of $98.6 million in expansion plans. The Province has committed $56.6 million, and officials are looking to local government for the other $28.3 million. The municipal request is part of the $100 million that APHC and Lakeridge Health Corpora- tion, which services east and north Durham, have asked the Region for as part of a combined $409.5-million project. Vital Signs campaign chair- man Gord Simmonds told the au- dience the APHC emergency room was initially built to handle 20,000 patients per year, but cur- rently copes with more than 40,000 visits and will face 60,000 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer With police officers by his side, double-murder suspect Mont- gomery Harmon collapsed and died suddenly in hospital –– only hours after he was arrested for the blud- geoning deaths of his wife and six- year-old daughter. An autopsy showed the Picker- ing man died of a massive blood clot in the lungs at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, four-and-a-half hours after homicide detectives arrested him at his bedside at Ajax and Pick- ering Health Centre. The 52-year-old was to have been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Marcia Harmon, 42, and daugh- ter Danielle. Durham Regional Police discov- ered the grisly murder scene Mon- day morning when they located the bodies of the mother and child lay- ing on a bed side by side in a room on the second-floor of their Lydia Crescent home. Autopsies showed that both suf- fered “multiple blunt impact” in- juries to the head, Dr. Barry McLel- lan, regional coroner for the eastern Greater Toronto Area, told a news conference at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa yesterday. “In both cases they suffered sig- nificant head trauma... multiple in- juries that would be compatible with a beating... to the head and fa- cial area predominantly... An instru- ment has been identified,” Dr. McLellan said. A steel mallet, similar in size to a hammer,was seized from the fam- ily home as the murder weapon, Durham Regional Police revealed yesterday. Mr. Harmon was found in an up- stairs bedroom unconscious from a suspected attempted suicide by drug overdose, possibly prescrip- tion pills.

Police said Mr. Harmon had been drifting in and out of consciousness, but investiga- tors were told he was expect- ed to survive. At 7 a.m. Wednesday, after he was removed from intensive care, police were cleared to speak with Mr. Harmon. He was then arrest- ed at his bedside. Detectives were arranging to have a justice of the peace attend the hospital and re- mand Mr. Harmon into the custody of the Whitby Jail, which would then have as- sumed responsibility from police for guarding the sus- pect. “He had been under round-the-clock watch,” said Sergeant Jim Grimley, who added Mr. Harmon was not discharged and was to remain in hospital. Two detectives were with Mr. Harmon when it’s be- lieved he got up to use the washroom and suddenly col- lapsed. Attempts to revive him failed. When he died Mr. Har- mon was in police custody; therefore Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit is probing the circumstances surround- ing his death. SIU spokesman John Ansell said investigators are looking into Mr. Harmon’s medical condition and treat- ment he received from the time he was found by police and his death. “He was being watched by two Durham Regional Po- lice officers when he died,” he said, adding there was no evidence of any physical con- frontation. Although toxicology tests will be completed, medical staff suspected Mr. Harmon was suffering from an over- dose when he arrived at hos- pital, the coroner said, adding Mr. Harmon did not have physical self-inflicted in- juries. Dr. McLellan said a pul- monary embolism, or mas- sive blood clot in the lungs, is a medically “recognized complication” in cases in- volving patients who have been in an unconscious state. The complication can arise when a person has been con- fined to a bed for a lengthy period, the coroner said. With Mr. Harmon dead, police admit they may never know what led to the terrible tragedy that has obliterated a family and shocked the com- munity. Detectives will now con- tinue the murder investiga- tion under the authority of local coroner Dr. John Swain in the hope of providing an- swers to the victims’ surviv- ing family members on both sides, and a future inquest. “The family is at a com- plete loss as to why this has happened,” lead homicide de- tective Brian Osborne said earlier. Police were not aware of any prior history of domestic problems at the residence and had no prior dealings with the husband or wife. The investi- gation will include looking into Mr. Harmon’s medical history and the possibility he was being treated for depres- sion or some other form of mental illness, although de- tectives would not comment yesterday. Police officers were sum- moned to the home at Dixie Road and Finch Avenue at 8:30 a.m. Monday after a 911 call from Danielle’s grand- mother, Louise Scarlett. Pickering firefighters forced entry through a side window and police officers then entered and searched the home, locating the bodies. Dr. McLellan could not say whether the victims were killed in their sleep, the order of the attacks or when the murders occurred. An inquest must be held into Mr. Harmon’s death since he was in police cus- tody at the time. However, Dr. McLellan said a decision has not been made on whether the inquest will probe the circumstances of the slayings. Although police would not comment on the issue, Mr. Harmon’s arrest for sec- ond-degree murder suggests the evidence did not support the killings involved planning and deliberation, the require- ment for a first-degree charge. The funeral for Marcia and Danielle Harmon will be held April 6 at 10 a.m. at Car- ruthers Creek Church, Bayly Street, Ajax. Visitation will be held April 4-5 at McEach- nie Funeral Home, 29 Old Kingston Rd.

Both school boards in Durham have expressed concerns to the Province over the project. To meets its long-term water needs, York is proposing a water pipeline from the Petticoat Creek Conservation area on Lake Ontario in Pickering, up Whites Road to York. A local group and the City of Pickering are opposed to the pipeline. Ministry official Pamela Hub- bard in a letter to Grant Andrews, education director of the Durham Catholic District School Board, stressed the project has not been approved. “It should be pointed out that no decision has been made about York Region’s EA to date, since the Re- gion has not submitted its EA to the ministry,” she stated. “The is- sues you have raised in your letter will be considered by the minister when she makes her decision.” Ms. Hubbard outlined the envi- ronmental assessment process. The first step, preparation of the terms of reference, began in Janu- ary 1998 and saw York hold infor- mation sessions, an information workshop and provide a chance for the public to comment. The terms of reference, which describes what work is required to address envi- ronmental issues, was approved by the ministry roughly two years ago. York is currently preparing the EA for the project. The public and review agencies can again com- ment when the EA has been sub- mitted and published. When the comment period is over, the minis- ter will decide if the project goes ahead. At the Feb. 12 Catholic board meeting, trustees voted 6-2 in favour of asking the education ministry to stop the proposed pipeline or make sure other alter- natives are examined because of concerns over possible dangers to students during the construction period. Pickering Trustee Jim McCaf- ferty at the meeting said construc- tion truck traffic along Whites Road would impact local schools, since motorists seeking to avoid the work area would choose other routes, presenting an increased danger to pupils walking to school in several areas. Mr. Andrews has said board staff does not believe there is a po- tential danger to students.

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser March 30, 2001 High price tag on vaccination program To the editor: Re: ‘Flu bug swatted in Durham’ March 21. Flu bug swatted, but at what cost? Health Canada statistics show this was a mild year for the flu. Re- ported cases of influenza were down across Canada, not only in Ontario where universal vaccina- tion is being attempted. Despite this information, the Region’s asso- ciate medical officer of health gave the credit to the vaccination pro- gram. Dr. Donna Reynolds refers to “free” clinics, but the doctors, nurs- es and staff who worked there did not work for free. Patient visits to doctors’offices to get the shot were billed to OHIP and therefore were not free. Administering the flu shot cost Ontario taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars above the $38 million in provincial funding. Dr. Reynolds reported 30 labo- ratory-confirmed cases of the flu in Durham Region this year, the same as last year. She failed to mention the thousands of Canadians treated for oculo-respiratory syndrome, an adverse side effect to the shot. She also failed to mention the letter in the Canadian Medical As- sociation Journal by Dr. Vittorio Demicheli, a leading epidemiolo- gist. He states, “That claims about the cost effectiveness of wide- spread vaccination are dubious and the stated aim of the program to ease the pressure on emergency rooms during the flu season is illu- sory.” A British study found pre- venting one case of clinical in- fluenza costs on average $6,200.00 Besides the financial costs of fighting the flu with a man-made vaccine, there are the potential long-term health risks associated with injecting the toxic ingredients of the vaccine into the body. The harmful effects of repeated yearly injections of thimerosal (a mercury derivative and a recognized devel- opment toxicant) and formalde- hyde (a recognized carcinogen) both ingredients of the flu shot, are just not being recognized. It appears the people who the vaccination program benefits the most are the vaccine manufacturers and the health-care workers paid to administer the shot and promote the program. Dr. Robert Sasse, Pickering The differing views presented by municipal councils in Durham and by the Region itself with regard to the Greater Toronto Services Board make for interesting if obscure reading. Typical of politicians everywhere, once you read between the lines you re- alize most who voted on GTSB options did so for, in the words of Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, “political jealousy and fear”. Fear perhaps that if a GTSB is estab- lished, the regional level of government might be dropped and all those 19 re- gional councillors who voted them- selves eight-per cent pay raises last week would lose their juicy growing salaries? While that’s one possible take on the discussions, another revolves around the notion Durham politicians have never warmed up to an association with the other three 905 regions and especially with Toronto itself. But like it or not, and the benefits will in future far outweigh the costs, our tie to the GTA is here to stay. That enor- mous market to our west is an incredible spur to business development, econom- ic health and all the other good things we continue to receive. Of course, such growth has costs. As Oshawa Councillor John Gray says of the GTSB, “We must be very careful. We can be very myopic and not recog- nize the danger we do ourselves by say- ing, ‘We don’t want anything to do with Toronto.’ Putting on the blinders is not going to solve our problems.” Indeed, co-operation with Toronto and the other regions in a well-support- ed GTSB could mean more money flowing from provincial and federal cof- fers to our area. And no other issue com- pares to the need for efficient, effective transit links. That’s where the GTSB should focus its efforts. An attempt to take on too many is- sues and duties and to spread itself too thin would weaken the GTSB’s effec- tiveness. Its essential role must be to im- prove and expand GO services, to im- prove municipal transit links throughout the GTA, to push for better regional roads and, of utmost importance, to im- prove the highway system throughout the GTA, but especially in Durham. Agreeing to be an active participant in the GTSB does not mean, as some would suggest, favouring amalgamation with Toronto. It simply comes to terms with the reality that as Durham grows, its municipalities can’t sit in isolation, hopeful a few voices here will be heard by the powers that be at Queen’s Park. We need to work together for improve- ments and that’s where the GTSB, as a planning and services board with re- sponsibility for GTA transit, is essential.

EDITORIAL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Planning, transit should be GTSB priority Moving goods, people means dollars and sense to all governments in GTA My bumper sticker says it all — I do indeed brake for old grave- yards. I have always had a passion for exploring 19th-century graveyards. One of the most peaceful places I know is the pioneer cemetery in south Oshawa, high on Bonnie Brae Point, overlooking Lake Ontario. Here, in this graveyard are the sto- ries, lives and experiences of some of the area’s earliest settlers who were the founders of the communi- ty. Marriages, births, epidemics and deaths, as conveyed by the stones, are all part of the local history and the foundation of the community. Graveyards are places where, if you’ll pardon the pun, history comes alive. Wander through and you will undoubtedly see family names familiar to you as street, school or park names in your com- munity. For me, much of the fasci- nation with graveyards stems from the wonderful examples of art found on the gravestones. Gravestone mo- tifs often represent the earliest ex- amples of folk art in a community. The depictions of willow trees, urns, clasping and pointing hands, mourning figures and flowers offer a unique and intimate glimpse into 19th-century life. In an era when illiteracy was common, motifs were chosen with great care to convey messages of faith and society. Themes relating to life, death and the hope for everlasting life are portrayed on the stones. We need to do more as a society to help protect these historical re- sources within our community. Van- dalism, neglect and development are the worst enemies of our pioneer graveyards. Education is a key com- ponent of insuring the viability of these historic resting places. By all means explore, however do keep in mind graveyards are first and foremost burial grounds and should be treated as such. Rubbings are not usually recom- mended as they can cause damage to stones. Stones are often unstable and may topple so please supervise chil- dren. Through education we can in- stil a sense of pride and respect. Children who respect graveyards are less likely to grow up to be the vandals of tomorrow. So the next time you are walking or driving by a graveyard, take the time to explore and educate your children about the importance of these historical trea- sures — you just might see me there.

History lover comes alive in graveyard Take the time to explore these historical treasures Laura Suchan Opinion Shaper by 2004. “Population growth is a silent and steady phenomenon,” said Mr. Simmonds, adding, “A population of this current and projected size de- mands and deserves excellent care.” The five main components of the redevelop- ment are the construction of a new emergency services department, the development of an am- bulatory care services centre, major clinical up- grades, new rehabilitation facilities, and expan- sion and modernization of diagnostic imaging services. “If you live in this town five years from now, hopefully the expansion will be complete,” said Mr. Simmonds in an interview. He added, “it’s one of the greatest fund-rais- ing challenges we’ve ever had, maybe the great- est,” but said he’s confident the hospital can raise its $13.7 million share. With the nuclear medicine process, a tiny amount of radioactive material is either injected into the patient or inhaled and, following a waiting period, a scan is performed. Dr. Dennis Huang stressed the procedure was “safe” and said doctors can target everything from bone scans, to lung, heart, liver and gall bladder scans, to studying blood flow. “This will provide a functional study of pa- tients, rather than an anatomical study,” Dr. Huang, a radiologist with the Rouge Valley Health System, which encompasses the APHC and the Centenary Health Centre in Scarbor- ough, said in an interview following the unveil- ing. OPG president and chief executive officer Ron Osborne noted 40 per cent of employees at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station live within the hospital’s catchment area, so offi- cials want to ensure they had access to the best health care available. He also added the donation fits the compa- ny’s profile. “It’s nuclear medicine, there’s nothing more appropriate,” he said. “Not everyone understands that nuclear is good for you.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 30, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P Hospital donation tops $1 million Population ‘deserves excellent care’ Ontario Power Generation president and CEO Ron Osborne unveils the company’s commitment to donate $1 million for a nuclear medicine clin- ic at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre.Recycle me!HOSPITAL from page 1 WEDNESDAY APRIL 4th The World at Your Table Watch For Our Flyer In The News Advertiser Friday April 6th OPENS heart-land is Claire Falkenberg’s unique exploration of the in-between places that have become part of Pickering’s land- scape.

When illness hits a fam- ily member, teenagers gen- erally find it hard to talk about it with their parents and friends, says Fran King, a guidance counsel- lor at R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate & Vocational In- stitute in Oshawa. She says young people don’t want to worry their parents further or bother their friends, so they often remain quiet. But they’re still troubled, and this can lead to a lack of concentra- tion and other problems at school. To help young people open up, Ms. King has started teen support groups at public high schools in Port Perry, Pickering and Whitby. “It’s to help the kids deal with life-threatening illness or serious illness in their family,” said Ms. King. Seven weeks of sessions at the schools are followed by a group session in which all three groups come to- gether for ‘Celebration Day’ at Camp Samac. “The focus of the group is letting them talk about their feelings and helping them to cope with the situ- ation,” said Ms. King. Pilot projects were held last year at Dunbarton High School in Pickering and Eastdale Collegiate & Vo- cational Institute in Os- hawa. Ms. King applied for and received a grant of 10 supply days from the Durham District School Board’s Bertelsmann Fund to continue the program. Financial help also came from Hearth Place and Hospice Durham with Whitby Mental Health Centre acting in a consulta- tive role. This year, support groups have recently start- ed at Port Perry High School, Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School and Henry Street High School. Ms. King says a total of 10 spots remain open for students who want to par- ticipate, with four spots each available at the Port Perry and Pine Ridge high schools, and two places re- maining in Whitby. Students from other schools are welcome to join a group, space permit- ting, with the condition that they must be able to get themselves to the sessions. The weekly group ses- sions take place on Tues- days at 2:30 p.m. at Henry Street, on Tuesdays at 11:15 a.m. at Port Perry, and on Mondays at 11:45 a.m. at Pine Ridge. Parents and students can contact Ms. King at R.S. McLaughlin 905-728- 9407, at home 905-666- 2129 or by e-mail, fran.king@sympatico.ca.

Visions of lifeless grass, of ripped up patches from skunks and raccoons, of dandelions and clover. Where should you begin? Establishing an action plan for the maintenance and care of the home lawn is an ideal place to start. Secondly, obtaining prop- er advice from garden centres that sell lawn care products will enable you to execute your action plan properly. Lastly, making a “time commitment” to devote to the lawn will help you obtain the desired results. In these hectic busy lives we all lead, perhaps the care of your home lawn can be viewed as a therapeutic endeavour - a time to leave the cell phone, pager and daytimer in the house while you allow yourself an hour to spend outside beau- tifying your outdoor space and reviving your spirit. The home lawn, just like the human body, needs to be nourished and fed in order to survive. Just as we need water so does your lawn - remember that those tiny blades of grass are living, growing entities - just as we need vitamins and minerals so does the lawn need fertilizer. At times when we become ill and require antibiotics to build up our immune systems, so will the home lawn require additional help in the way of lawn insecticides or herbicides to combat the serious life - zap- ping effects of lawn insects or infestations of weeds. With reg- ular treatment your home lawn will flourish and thrive. The number one step of your home lawn maintenance plan may be the application of “Crabgrass Control” Fertilizer - apply now to eliminate the ger- mination of seeds. Or treat the lawn to a boost after the long cold winter by applying the first dose of nutrients in the form of spring fertilizer. Soon the grass responds by “green- ing up” and actively growing. When the lawn is dry a spring raking is essential to remove debris, twigs and thatch that have accumulated since the last raking in the fall. As the days become warmer, “topdressing” the lawn with seed and soil will thicken up the existing grass and help to improve the appearance and texture. Before your first mowing check the lawn mower blades for sharpness and cleanliness; check all fluid levels and move the lawn mower from the back corner of the garage/tool shed (where lawnmowers “hiber- nate” over winter) to an easily accessible area at the front. Try not to view home lawn care as a chore but as an oppor- tunity for aerobic exercise, or a “greet and meet” with the neighbors as well as your con- tribution to beautifying not only your home but the envi- ronment.

It is a surprise to every new customer that walks through it’s doors. Located in Ajax south of Hwy 401 at Westney Rd. across from the Go Station, the build- ing may fool you. Once you step inside you’ll stand in awe as you realize the shoppers paradise you have just discov- ered by its sheer size and quantity of products. It is also amazingly clear and uncluttered for an outlet. Everything in the store is very well organized and easy to get at and the selection is huge. The Genuine Factory Outlet decorates every room in your home with over 5,000 products. The layout of the factory outlet reflects the large assortment of products manu- factured in their 50,000 square foot factory adjacent to the Outlet. From bed and kitchen to the bath, fabric and rug shops, their friendly, knowledgeable staff takes time to ensure cus- tomer satisfaction. It’s impos- sible not to notice the friendly knowledgeable approach by the staff in the store. THE MOST ASKED QUESTION TO THE OWNER BERNARD BARRY “HOW DID YOU CREATE SUCH A HOME DECOR STORE THAT IS CONTINU- ALLY CHANGING WITH THE TRENDS? EVERY TIME I COME INTO THE OUTLET IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER”. The foundation is stocked with over half a million yards of fabric and 37 years of manu- facturing experience. The real secret of our suc- cess is our fellow associates who are knowledgeable; a per- fect example is Michelle Albero who helps present the 40,000 towels in over 20 colours in Canada’s largest selection. The Genuine Factory Outlet’s Hall of Fame contin- ues to develop these types of people. The reason of our success over the years is our staff. We have people who are well trained in customer service as well as behind the scenes. The manufacturing of home decor products requires attention to detail, quality of workman- ship, and excellence in design and colour. Each section of the business must overlap to pro- duce a product. The result is a home decor team that offers products for every room in your home at affordable prices. Customers enjoy the fact that the Factory Outlet is truly Canadian owned and operated and that they are a real factory. Bernard Barry, centre and his staff invite you to the best factory outlet in North America. Home Sweet HomeHome Sweet Home ADVERTISING FEATURE Tired of Your Garage Door?

Trustees approved the new poli- cy at the March 22 board meeting in Oshawa. The policy places responsibility on both the school principal and the parent/guardian in accommodating students with specific health needs in the school system. “We didn’t have a policy in this area and I think that what we want- ed to do is ensure there’s an obliga- tion to the parent to inform us of an exceptional health condition of a student,” said Mr. Blake. He said principals, parents and other stakeholders have called for such a policy, and recalled a past in- cident where there was confusion over how to handle the medical con- dition of a student in the school en- vironment. The parent/guardian must notify the school principal, when register- ing their child or earlier, of the stu- dent’s exceptional health condition, provide the school with relevant documentation required to safely in- clude the child and give the princi- pal permission to share the informa- tion where it is appropriate. Principals are required to make sure the parent/guardian is aware of his responsibility and complete an entry process before the student ar- rives at school. As well, principals must ensure physician’s instructions and other relevant documents are submitted, and make sure the school has access to community/medical contacts. The principal, working with the parent/guardian and any required medical personnel, must develop an emergency plan and conduct emer- gency drills to determine the plan’s effectiveness. “This is a very important policy,” said Mr. Blake.

Originally located in Pickering Village the first Z-Art was destroyed by fire in September 1991 when the entire strip mall in which it was located was engulfed. But Michael is a persistent man and his dream was not destined to die in a fire. Z-Art re-opened at Dixie Road, Pickering and flourished. Last year we expanded to our present larg- er location located at 1822 Whites Road, in the Amberlea Plaza, Pickering. Michael invites all past, present and future customers to drop into the store and see our display of hand wrapped canvases. This form of fram- ing involves seamlessly wrapping a liner with custom chosen material that matches in colour, texture and style the canvas being framed. The frame, care- fully chosen to co-ordinate with the liner, is applied along with a matching fillet. The end product makes for a dis- tinctive and imaginative décor piece as well as enhancing the canvas. Michael is proud to provide this very personal style of framing. If it is quality framing at an affordable price that you want - Go to the experts. Z-Art has been framing limited edition art and originals for over a decade. Our friendly staff with combined experience of 20, 15 and 5 years respectively is imaginative, knowledgeable and eager to provide the best customer service possible. Donít leave your expensive and irre- placeable pieces to an amateur. We know our business and we are proud to stand behind it. St. John Ambulance has a histo- ry that dates back almost 1000 years. It started in 1080 when Benedictine monks, attending at a hospital in Jerusalem for pilgrims, took the white cross as their symbol. This led to the development of the Order of St. John. Today St. John Ambulance is divided onto two groups. The St. John Ambulance Association is a network of medical professionals and program develop- ment specialists who develop first aid and health promotion courses, which are taught by about 7,000 trained instructors to thousands of Canadians each year. In the year 2000 over 450,000 people received first aid training and over 350,000 received CPR training. The St. John Ambulance brigade is a group of nearly 13,000 uniformed volunteers who serve their community in many ways, from providing first aid at public events such as the CAW Picnic, Fiesta Week and track and field meets. Michele Cormier, Sales and Marketing Consultant for the Durham Region Branch, says they’re currently working in conjunction with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to ensure that workplaces across the region have adequately trained staff and proper equipment on-site. “Workplaces must meet specific standards, it’s the law,” says Michele. “We can help them with information booklets, training and supply them with first aid equipment and sup- plies.” Courses are taught at facilities in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax in such areas as Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Adult CPR, Basic Rescuer and even Wilderness First Aid. Z-Art Rose From The Ashes to Success St. John Ambulance Following are new movie releases being screened at cinemas in Ajax and Pickering this weekend. SOMEONE LIKE YOU Starring Ashley Judd, Hugh Jack- man, Ellen Barkin, Greg Kinnear, Marisa Tomei. Directed by Tony Goldwyn. Jane Goodale (Judd) has everything going for her. She’s a producer on a pop- ular daytime talk show, and is in a hot romance with the show’s dashing execu- tive, Ray (Kinnear). But when the rela- tionship goes awry, Jane begins an ex- tensive study of the male animal in an at- tempt to understand how and why Ray has so suddenly and inexplicably jilted her. Turning to Freud, Darwin, her own lovelorn friends, and a cabinet full of theories, Jane begins a safari of sorts to track down the strange lair of the human heart. Along the way, she puts her “stud- ies” and romantic misadventures to use as a pseudonymous sex columnist — and becomes a sensation in the process. (Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Pickering Town Centre, Cineplex- Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas). SPY KIDS Starring Alan Cumming, Carla Gugi- no, Antonio Banderas, Teri Hatcher, Tony Shalhoub, Danny Trejo. Directed by Robert Rodriguez. Gregorio (Banderas) and Ingrid (Gugino) are the two greatest secret agents the world has ever known: mas- ters of disguise, mavens of invention, able to stop wars before they even start. Working for separate countries, they are sent to eliminate their most danger- ous enemy... each other. But in an exotic corner of the world when they finally come face to face, they fall in love in- stead and embark on the most dangerous mission they have ever faced: raising a family. Now, nine years later, after their re- tirement, having exchanged the adven- ture of espionage for parenthood,Grego- rio and Ingrid Cortez are called back into action. When their former colleagues —the world’s most formidable spies — start disappearing one by one, the Cortezes are forced to take on techno-wizard Fegan Floop (Cumming) and his evil, egg-headed sidekick, Minion (Shal- houb). But, when the unthinkable happens and they too disappear, there are only two people in the world who can rescue them... their kids. Armed with a bag of high-tech gad- gets and out-of-this-world transporta- tion, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara) bravely jet through the air, dive through the seas and criss-cross the globe in a series of thrilling adven- tures on a mission to stop Floop, save their parents... and maybe even the world. (Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Pickering Town Centre, Cineplex- Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas). TOMCATS Starring Jake Busey, Shannon Eliza- beth, Bill Maher, Jerry O’Connell, Di- rected by Gregory Poirer. Michael Delaney is a struggling car- toonist who must get his best friend, Kyle Bremmer, an avowed bachelor, to wed within 30 days in order to win a bet and save himself from financial ruin.

One per customer per visit. Expires April 6, 2001 OFF I attend Carruthers Creek Community Church, formerly called Steeple Hill, and was very grateful last Sunday when our Pastor Dave Collins talked about keeping promises. Before a jam packed congregation of almost 700 he said that he used to promise his daughter Rachel and son Matt that he would take them to the Dairy Queen and they would remind him to keep his promise. That nice plug is typical of the support that we have received from so many of the churches in Scarborough and the Durham Region since we opened over 5 years ago. I remember one Sunday night when Pastor Sam Martin from Bayfair Baptist brought a Greyhound bus filled with a visiting choir from Tennessee over to the DQ after an evening service. It filled the whole store! On another occasion I invited Pastor Sam and his family for free dessert at the DQ. In the evening service he announced to the whole congregation that Charles had invited the Pastor and the whole church family over for free Dairy Queen! Fortunately everybody paid! On many occasions Pastor Craig Burton from Malvern Christian Assembly has brought family and friends over to the store. Many youth groups including Forestbrook live at our store and many of the girls come in just to watch our guys work! Kidding! Some young mothers from Churchill Heights Baptist and other churches are regulars in our play centre. I WANT TO THANK ALL THE CHURCHES IN THE AREA FOR THEIR GREAT SUPPORT. I WISH I HAD SPACE TO MENTION MORE. However for me one of the most rewarding experiences is to see some of the teenagers who work at our store inviting their co-workers out to church. Not only are there a lot of great churches in this area but many more are starting up and others are involved in building programs as we speak. Whoever said statistics show that less people are going to church must not have been talking about this area. For example, On Easter Sunday our church will go to two services to handle all the new growth. With Easter approaching may I encourage you to think about going to church this Sunday? Speaking of promises, one of my favourite Bible verses spoken by Christ was, “If you seek me you will find me.” No matter what your beliefs or denomination I want to ask you this question. Have you been to church lately?

Air Transat Holidays have out- lined both their three- and four-day vacations, and their seven-day vaca- tions to Paris in their current Europe brochure. That means no more mixing and matching with chances of not getting what you want. Up until now, the pricing of trips to Europe was generally determined by taking the air transportation price and adding it to the accommodation price. Then on top of that you had to budget for airport transfers, restau- rant meals, car rentals, local trans- portation, attractions, entertainment and more. There were a lot of deci- sions to be made and there was al- ways the possibility of not getting ex- actly what you want. Now, and throughout the season, you can choose from a selection of weekly departures to Paris and your package will include air transporta- tion on Air Transat, accommodation for three, four or seven days, and highlights of the city on a River Seine cruise. Best of all, it can be booked in one phone call and for one pre-deter- mined brochure price. Ask your trav- el agent for details. –– News Canada Naturalists head out Saturday PICKERING ––A short trip along the lakefront is on the agenda tomor- row with the Pickering Naturalists club.

The club hosts its biannual Fun Competition at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex’s De- laney Rink from 8:15 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The event features several different categories in which the skaters can participate. The show involves all levels — from as low as Canskate through to the club’s senior skaters. Young skaters starting out will be involved in element and solo events. A variety of dance events, including similar pairs, shad- ow dance and dance variations will also take place. Team ele- ments is an event where skaters are placed in groups randomly and each skater per- forms a certain element of fig- ure skating, and are judged as a team. Also included in the day is an interpretive free skate event where skaters hear the music only three times, then must skate a solo to the music. The final events of the day are the ‘showcase’ numbers where the skater uses music, costume and props to present an entertaining solo. Several of the club’s skaters have selected the music, de- signed and created their own costumes and choreographed their own solos. Spectators are welcome to attend. There’s no admission charge. Fun Competition wraps up skating season AJAX —The Ajax Summer Minor Hockey League is looking for youth ages five to 15 to take the ice, starting in May.
