Particularly key for schools is the pledge of $15.3 billion in sta- ble multi-year base funding by the year 2005-06, said Craig Burch, director of education for the Durham District School Board. “We haven’t had future funding for a number of years,” he point- ed out. “What that does is pro- vide the stability to allow school boards the ability to plan.” Minister of Finance Janet Ecker said her government is taking the advice of Mordechai ✦ Please see Durham, 5 News Advertiser photo courtesy of Rob Beintema, Mississauga News St. Mary Monarchs golden PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’ Jenn Sadler (left) and Ashley Riggs hoist the OFSAA championship trophy moments after skating past the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Crusaders of Mississauga 2-0 in the girls’ ‘AAA’ gold-medal hockey final in Brampton Thursday afternoon.

AAJJAAXX ——No charges will be laid after a 43-year-old man was found bound and gagged in a Pickering Village park. A female jogger discovered the victim in a “confused state” stumbling along a path in a wooded area of Hermitage Park, off Church Street, at 6:50 a.m. Wednesday, Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul Malik said. He said the woman stopped to help the man and took him to a nearby public school where po- lice were called. The victim was taken to Lak- eridge Health Oshawa by ambu- lance, where he was treated for injuries including cuts and bruis- es. He was later released. Sex assault detectives were called in to investigate, and after interviewing the man Wednes- day, Sgt. Malik said they con- cluded “his situation and in- juries were self-inflicted”. He added the man would be taken to hospital for psychiatric assessment. Accused Pickering man’s murder trial continues BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––As a police investigation deepened stateside, the New York mistress of a Pickering man suspected of poison- ing his pregnant wife wor- ried she’d be charged with accessory to murder, court has heard. In wiretapped phone conversations, Indira Seonarain told Ganesh Raghunauth she feared being incriminated in his wife’s cyanide death. “They could implicate me... charge me with ac- cessory to murder. And that’s a serious crime. They’re stating if I knew that you were married... that we got engaged... while your wife was still alive that how, you know, me and you planned to get rid of her,” Ms. Seonarain said during a Sept. 29, 2000 phone call, which was intercepted by Durham Regional Police. “They can think what they want to think,” replied Mr. Raghunauth. “Well, I’m in a lot of problems because they suspect me of doing ille- gal business and accesso- ry to murder,” said Ms. Seonarain. Mr. Raghunauth said police were “grasping at straws” and told her: “Never, ever change your mouth.” Two dozen calls from Mr. Raghunauth to Ms. Seonarain, taped by po- lice after his arrest while he was in Whitby Jail, were played this week at the trial of Mr. Raghu- nauth, 31. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Court has heard Geeta Raghunauth, 28, died in their Beaton Way home May 14, 2000 after being fed a “Mother’s Day treat,” cooked by her hus- band. Tests showed the ex- pectant mother had 64 times the lethal level of cyanide and a large amount of sedatives in her blood. The jury has heard Mr. Raghunauth was engaged to Ms. Seonarain three weeks prior to his wife’s death. However, they later told police the engagement was a “hoax,” and they were just friends who met on the Internet. “They (police) made you out to be a... con man...You con women... You conned the girl to marry you and take you to Canada to give you pa- pers, you’re conning me to marry you and bring you to New York,” Ms. Seonarain told Mr. Raghunauth. Police also told her he’s heavily in debt. “They said you’re after me for my money... be- cause I was making more than you.” Mr. Raghunauth: “Oh really now. I’m after a friend for their money.” Ms. Seonarain: “To them you’re not after a f riend, you’re after a prey... I’m the victim... They told me... you have a house and a big mort- gage, you have credit card debts up to your eyeballs, you’re overdrawn on your bank.” In other calls, Mr. Raghunauth coached Ms. Seonarain, and a man named Ed, to get rid of ev- idence on her computer hard drive by erasing f iles. “Make sure when it’s done there is no informa- tion they could gather from that computer,” says Mr. Raghunauth. “Yeah, I’ll get it all. Don’t worry about it,” Ed said. Ms. Seonarain told Mr. Raghunauth she was “deleting the files” on her computer in a subsequent call. “And deleting the tem- porary files... everything, cookies and stuff. I’m deleting all those,” she said. Mr. Raghunauth: “OK you got to press shift delete to get rid of all per- manently, you know... delete it from the trash can... and it’s gone for good.” Ms. Seonarain: “Are you sure?” Mr. Raghunauth: “Yeah.” Ms. Seonarain: “You’d better be right.” She said police ques- tioned why she had his wife’s sari, a Hindu cere- monial dress. “How does it feel to know that you wore a dead woman’s wedding dress,” she told him police asked. She said she told them, “I got it as a gift.” In another call, Mr. Raghunauth said: “Did I ever tell you, you are my life, my baby.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P MON.-FRI. 9:30-9:00 SAT. 9:30-5:30 SUN. 12:00-4:00 1652 Bayly St. W.

A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Rozanski, head of the Edu- cation Equality Task Force, which reviewed education funding. Multi-year base funding for school boards will be 14 per cent higher than the funding provided in last year’s budget. This in- cludes commitments of $875 million for special edu- cation, learning materials and textbooks, student transportation, teacher salaries and students at risk. “We still need to analyse the budget in detail. Cer- tainly any money is appre- ciated,” he said, referring to the $90 million the Province hopes to spend in Ontario high schools over the next four years on tech- nology and teacher train- ing. Other education dollars include use of the Super- Build grant program to create 20,000 new student places for next year’s dou- ble cohort, and an increase in overall post-secondary spending to the tune of $75 million this year. The Province also deliv- ered on expectations of a multi-year funding plan for hospitals, increasing its commitment by 16 per cent of the next four years. “We’re starting to see the rubber on the road,” said Norman Rees, vice-presi- dent of finance at the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem, which has sites in Ajax and Scarborough. “It’s something the system has been asking for for a long time.” An additional $130 mil- lion for one-time funding of diagnostic and medical equipment was also an- nounced. “That’s certainly helpful. We all have to upgrade our technology,” said Rouge Valley Health System spokesman Maria Milanet- ti. She said the promise of an additional half-billion dollars in hospital capital investments is also encour- aging. With more funds available for expansion projects, the chances for a new emergency depart- ment in Ajax are even bet- ter. The Province plans to spend $28.1 billion this year on health care, up $1.9 bil- lion from 2002. That in- cludes $10 billion for hospi- tal operation, $6.7 billion for OHIP payments, $2.3 billion for the Ontario Drug Program, and $1 billion for a new cancer research in- stitute. “You told me that health care and education are your most important prior- ities, that your children and grandchildren need high standards and re- sources in school to suc- ceed, that you require qual- ity health care when and where you need it, to stay well and get well,” said Ms. Ecker. Funding for municipali- ties is expected to increase 18 per cent by 2006, includ- ing $1 billion in start-up capital for a new Ontario Municipal Economic Infra- structure Finance Authori- ty. The budget also high- lighted a new property tax relief program for seniors, bringing previous and new commitments to $16 billion in 2003. Small businesses will see a five per cent de- crease in their income tax by next year and a four per cent decline in 2005. Ms. Ecker also pledged a decrease in corporate in- come tax for manufactur- ers by 10 per cent in 2004, nine per cent in 2005, and eight per cent in 2006. The budget, the Province’s first delivered outside the Ontario legisla- ture and over the Internet — to much controversy — is the fifth balanced budget in a row for the Tories, said Ms. Ecker. While suffering “dramatically slower growth” after the events of Sept. 11, the Ontario econo- my has rebounded faster than any of its G-7 trading partners, she said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P ON SOFAS, KITCHENS, DINING ROOM, ENTERTAINMENT, BEDROOMS AND LEATHER FURNITURE NO ADMINISTRATION CHARGE O.A.C.FINANCING PLUS NO GST NO PST 0% We Make It Easy To Purchase Quality! 1020 Brock Rd.S., Pickering Unit 1-4 NO GST OR PST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ONLY HOURS: MONDAY-WEDNESDAY 10-6, THURSDAY -FRIDAY 10-8, SATURDAY 10-5, SUNDAY 12-5 Savings Such As...

Durham Region health officials report one proba- ble case and two suspected cases, while the Rouge Val- ley Health System (RVHS) reports two probable cases. Katie Cronin-Wood, spokesman for Rouge Val- ley, stated the two proba- ble cases haven’t yet been “confirmed. They’re show- ing symptoms and are being treated.” There are also “four po- tential cases that require medical attention,” she added. “They’re not show- ing signs, but had been at (Scarborough) Grace. As a precaution, we have isolat- ed them.” The two probable cases “are showing signs of get- ting better”, Ms. Cronin- Wood noted, adding one is at the Ajax site. Scarborough Grace was the first Toronto hospital to receive those suffering from SARS. Glendene Collins, a spokesman for the Durham health depart- ment, said there is one probable and two suspect cases in the region. A highly contagious ‘atypical pneumonia’, SARS is being blamed for about 40 deaths world- wide, including three in Canada, and hundreds of others becoming ill. Health officials believe the disease started in Guandong province in China. On Wednesday, the Province declared the situ- ation a provincial emer- gency, which gives the pre- mier the power to take steps to control the out- break. Health officials are ask- ing anyone who has been in Scarborough Grace be- tween March 16 and 26 to voluntarily quarantine themselves at home for 10 days. Anyone else living in the same house should wear a mask when at home and having face-to-face contact with the person. Symptoms include a fever of more than 38 C (100.4 F), coughing, short- ness of breath or difficulty breathing. The two probable cases have been placed in a ‘neg- ative pressure room’, which are vented directly outside, said Ms. Cronin-Wood. At the Ajax site, there’s access to three negative pressure rooms in the child health unit, she added. ✦ Durham from page 1 P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Opening the funding taps Provincial budget promises more for health, education The provincial government's version of Magna centre March madness unfolded Thursday precisely as Premier Ernie Eves and Finance Minister Janet Ecker wished. The pair arrived at the speaker's podium together just after 4 p.m., bringing off this highly unusual budget presentation without a hitch or a glitch. And a good-news, pre-election bud- get it certainly was. With a packed hall of friends and party backers, the former finance minister and current finance min- ister had the floor to themselves. Well-selected questions only helped the entire presentation. There was plenty of money for everyone, with promises by Ms. Ecker of stable and multi-year funding flowing from the provincial tap through 2005-06. For instance, hospitals across Ontario will receive 16 per cent more by 2005-06 than they get now. Schools will get 14 per cent more in funding in 2005-06 than they do today. Over the next 10 years, the Province will commit $1 billion for a new Cancer Research Institute. There will be $250 million over five years for mental health- care reform and a $100-million grant toward long-term care fa- cilities. In post-secondary education, of special interest in Durham with the new University of Ontario Institute of Technology, is the creation of new student spaces and the commitment of 21 per cent more for colleges and universities by 2005-06 over 2002. Special double-cohort funding for universities is set to climb from $75 million per year this coming year to $200 million annually by 2006-07. For colleges, the double-cohort funding jumps from $60 million per year to $100 million by 2006-07. Durham residents who want a rapid bus transit system from this region across the top of the Greater Toronto Area to Hal- ton will get their wish according to the finance minister. There will also be GO train and bus expansion as part of a 10-year, $10-billion promise of transit funding. Reductions to small business and corporate taxes were an- nounced, along with an increase in the number of Ontarians who will not pay any more provincial income tax. That number now totals 700,000. Older Ontarians and their caregivers will get some relief too. As Ms. Ecker spoke of strong economic growth for Ontario, of a fifth straight balanced budget for the province, and of the return of the private school tax credit, her cabinet colleagues co-starred in her presentation. Minister of Enterprise, Oppor- tunity and Innovation Jim Flaherty, Health Minister Tony Clement, Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer and Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities Dianne Cunningham all appeared at various points on a video screen to boast about the achievements of their departments. The rapid 40-minute speech was clearly a plea to the elec- torate to buy into the Eves plan. Now, apparently, cabinet min- isters and MPPs will fan out across Ontario to get feedback from citizens to help prepare the April 30 speech from the throne. If Conservatives like what they hear, it's likely we'll be going to the polls before long. Budget speech a dog-and-pony show by Tories TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Budget speech to be delivered out- side the legislature. "A body of persons given the responsi- bility and power to make laws for a country or state..." is how Webster's New World dictionary describes a legislature, in our case Queen's Park. Premier Ernie Eves, Finance Minister Janet Ecker, and Durham MPPs Jim Flaherty and Jerry Ouellette should refresh their memories on basic democracy. Hijacking Ontario's legislature and replacing it with a bevy of hand-picked supporters in a televised dog-and-pony show degrades Ontario's democratic values and insults its citizens. If Mr. Eves and his party believe Queen's Park isn't where the government "talks to the people," why on earth are they running for re-election? House Speaker Gary Carr (himself a Tor y) is right. Elected MPPs have been shunted aside and replaced by a few un- elected "advisers" who have whispered in Mr. Eves's ear that presenting the budget in the legislature might be risky. After all (imagine!) there are opposition MPPs across the aisle (also elected) who may have hard questions given this government's eight-year record. Mr. Carr, by the way, is disillusioned with politics and isn't running next time -- a sad commentary on the damage done to our parliamentary system by a gang of neo-cons whose only aim is to recapture political power. If there was a list of places on this planet needing 'regime change', Ontario would be right up there.

The Paspebiac Huskys are about to play the Chandler Gaillards in the Lower St. Lawrence/Gaspe semi-pro hockey league. I am wedged between my spouse and my mother-in-law at the end of the unheated Paspebiac arena just to the right of the goalie, or, according to my mother-in-law, the goaler. Chubby French adoles- cents circulate the rink carrying tiny vats of steaming poutine. Foot-stomping fiddle tunes and hard-driving French rock and roll blast through the speakers. This packed arena contains well over 1,000 people, a fifth of the town's population. In an economically de- pressed area like the Gaspe penin- sula, there isn't much entertain- ment even at the best of times. This semi-pro hockey league is a bright light for the locals in the middle of winter. In the second period, the flame of motivation begins to hop and sizzle for the home team. The Huskys are down 2-1 and the magic is now! The Huskys start to dance; passing, deking, and moving the puck down the ice with fantastic speed and grace. Every pass con- nects and the Gaillards are out- played. Everyone in the place is riding the same wave. The loudspeakers play a wild mocking tune with lyrics about hit- ting -- frapper, Frapper, FRAP- PER! One thousand hearts pump in time to the music. The league star, Lagace, scores two goals. This is art. I am inside a living, breath- ing Canadian oil painting. I jump to my feet, twirl around and pound the Plexiglas with my fists. Noth- ing else matters. Any alien space- ship passing by the frigid south shore of the Gaspe at this precise moment in time, would see sparks coming from the Paspebiac arena. After the game, the locals jam the one or two bars in the area for a drink with some of the players, or head to the only Tim Hortons around for a hundred kilometres. I'm neither from Gaspe nor Que- bec, but for some reason this game made me feel more connected to Canada than anything I've experi- enced in a long time. The Paspebi- ac/Chandler game was a big event; people needed to be there! When was the last time anyone living in or around an entertainment-rich metropolis, actually needed to be anywhere? Try living in a place where the only entertainment is one sports team that comes to town once a week, and only in the winter. No one in Gaspe walks around asking "What is Canadian culture?" When you are something, you don't have to ask. Far away from a city, our culture stands out as stark as a pine tree against the snow.

Making such statements publicly was an attempt “to try to influence the general population against its government, and I don’t think that’s his role here,” says Mr. Shepherd, noting not everyone agrees with the current war. “It’s not just us who do not support this war on Iraq, it’s also Mexico. It’s all of their neighbours,” he says. Mr. Shepherd says though Canada isn’t behind the U.S. this time, Canadians have come to America’s aid in the past. “He forgets the contribution we made on 9/11 ... we’re very much with them on the war on terrorism. But our foreign policy doesn’t have to be identical to theirs,” says the Durham MP. “We’re an independent country and from time to time, we make decisions that are different than our friends’ ... I look back at the Second World Wa r. It seems to me it took two years for them to come to fight.” Some media reports indicated Mr. Shepherd called not only for Mr. Cellucci to be censured, but to be expelled from Canada. “I used the word censure somewhere along the line,” admits Mr. Shepherd. “What I was trying to say is the American ambassador crossed the line of diplomacy” Mr. Shepherd believes a Canadian am- bassador to the U.S., under similar cir- cumstances, would be admonished. “I think he would be called into the state department and asked for clarification of his comments,” says Mr. Shepherd. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 PAGE 7 A/P Readers Discount Readers Discount Harwood Plaza 314 Harwood Ave., S, Ajax, Ontario 905-427-3488 NOW OPEN A Wide Variety of Children’s, Woodworking, Crafts, Cookbooks and Many More... 50% to 90% Off Entire Selection Limited Quantities Beanie KidsBeanie Kids $4.99each Po c ket Books Featuring The Following Books And Hundreds Of Other Best Sellers Store Hours: Monday to Friday 10-8:30 • Saturday 10-5:30 • Sunday 10-5:30 CASH Hwy #2 Brock St.BaylyHarwoodWestney Rd.Readers Discount Great initiatives deserve great support New Funding Guidelines 2003-2004 Come find out what’s new.

A short time later, wit- nesses to the botched rob- bery pointed out a suspect to police on Dunbarton Road, and a 20-year-old Pickering man was arrest- ed. Durham Regional Police said the 21-year-old victim was using the ATM at 1360 Kingston Rd., just after midnight when a man came up behind him, threatened he had a gun and ordered him to take out several hundred dol- lars. "The victim tried to with- draw the money but had insufficient funds in the ac- count," said Sergeant Paul Malik, who added the thief turned and ran away. Du Shawn Andrew Sim- monds, 20, of Arcadia Square, is charged with robbery and breach of pro- bation.

Fri., Mar. 28, 2003 News Advertiser Pickering man charged in botched robbery BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––An Oshawa man is accused of stub- bornly stalking a Picker- ing woman for the past 25 years, Durham Regional Police say. Sergeant Paul Malik said the suspect, 42, has known the victim, who is 40, since both went to the same Bowmanville high school during the 1970s. "He's been obsessed with her ever since, it would appear," the police spokesman said. Sgt. Malik alleged the man has relentlessly hounded the woman over the years with phone calls and unwanted visits, as well as sending her gifts and letters. At one time, she moved to another province and he followed her there, the officer said, describing the man's actions as "classic stalking behaviour. "He has allegedly stated several times he's in love with the victim, and that he's waiting for her to be- come his girlfriend," said Sgt. Malik. The woman has appar- ently reported the man to police several times over the years, although Sgt. Malik wasn't aware if charges had ever been laid in the past. When the suspect re- cently showed up at her workplace in Ajax looking for her, the victim once again turned to authori- ties in fear, Sgt. Malik said. "His actions have made her quite fearful for her safety. It's scary," he said, adding there are concerns regarding the man's men- tal health. Murray James Willis, 42, of Bloor Street, was ar- rested Monday following an investigation and charged with criminal ha- rassment. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 PAGE 9 A/P Selection will vary by store.

Durham is Canada’s en- ergy capital and work is being done now to encour- age more companies, in- cluding suppliers for the nuclear industry, to locate here, says Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs. The energy sector, and particularly nuclear power, got a boost from Herb Dhaliwal, Canada’s minis- ter of natural resources, last week during the Cana- dian Nuclear Association annual meeting, attended by Mayor Arthurs and Clarington Mayor John Mutton. The minister told dele- gates the energy sector is highly valued by the gov- ernment and said nuclear energy “as an energy source that produces no greenhouse gases, will have to play an important role in responding to this need for new and cleaner forms of energy.” The minister spoke of the success of Canada’s nuclear program, which most recently has market- ed CANDU reactors in China. “This reactor was built in record time and on budget. It is a great suc- cess for China and Cana- da.” The government is also participating in a new in- ternational initiative fo- cussing on nuclear energy systems that are “safe, clean and sustainable,” he said. But nuclear power gen- eration may not be Durham’s only energy product in the long run, says Mayor Arthurs. The Pickering Generating Sta- tion could have other ener- gy production and re- search uses beyond nu- clear production in the years to come. “It’s not only about refurbishment (of the nuclear facility) but longer term opportuni- ties,” he says. “Once the lifespan of the plant is fin- ished for nuclear produc- tion we will still have the physical facility with hydro transmission capabilities.” Another proposed Durham energy project, the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor) $12-bil- lion research facility, also got a nod from the minis- ter. “ITER is a truly interna- tional project with China and the United States now joining Canada, the Euro- pean Union, Japan and the Russian Federation,” the minister said. “Canada is participating in the negoti- ations to locate this pro- ject here in Ontario.” France, Spain and Japan are also vying with Clarington to host the pro- ject. The federal govern- ment has said it is going to either improve Canada’s bid to bring the project to Clarington by adding a commitment of federal funding or will withdraw from the negotiations. It is not believed the current bid can succeed without federal funding. Mayor Arthurs said the minister’s comments on ITER still lack the backing of the Prime Minister who ultimately must give the nod for federal financing of Durham’s bid. However Mayor Mutton saw the minister’s comments as a positive step. “The fact he said the Government of Canada was sitting at the table is quite a change in my mind,” from the previous position that the govern- ment is there strictly to sign any treaties required on behalf of ITER Canada, the non-profit organiza- tion working to promote Canada’s bid, the mayor says.

There must be 50 ways to get from one end of Durham to the other and a proposed pass could get you anywhere within the Region for one price. Durham's regional tran- sit task force is proposing one pass that will allow rid- ers to pay one price for a monthly pass that will get them on GO Transit and all municipal bus services. "The principle is some- thing everybody's excited about," says Alex Georgi- eff, Durham's planning commissioner. Many of the details are still to be worked out, including the final price of the pass. But the idea is to make it more economical for people to get across the region by public transit than by car and at a savings from what they are paying now, he says. "The bottom line is it will significantly reduce the cost for riders," says Whit- by Mayor Marcel Brunelle, chairman of the task force. If the idea is approved by regional council, a meeting will be held with all the transit providers to co-or- dinate it, he says. The proposed model for the pass would have riders purchase a GO pass based on the distance they would travel across the region. A 'D' sticker would be added to the pass and sold at GO outlets. Local operators would then be reimbursed for the money they would lose from transferring commuters. The idea is to take advantage of the ex- isting GO 'Hwy. 2 spine' and complement that ser- vice using the local transit providers, says Mr. Georgi- eff. Regional council has al- ready approved $400,000 to be used for this type of co- ordinated transit. If approved, the pro- gram would likely begin this September. Throw your weight around for charity DDUURRHHAAMM ––––It can be the kind of exertion that has team mem- bers huffing and puffing. But they know by taking part, they're helping those who can't - kids battling asthma.

Now is the time to vision your garden... overflowing planters of colorful annuals on the front porch, a mixed border of fragrant flowering shrubs complimented with multi-hued perennials, beckoning butterflies and hummingbirds. Visions of a majestic tree casting forth shadows of cooling shade, a lasting legacy to future generations. Arriving to the vision of your welcoming home with its lush, dark green lawn framed with borders of tidy, neat evergreens. The backyard vision... a soothing retreat, a sanctuary. With swaying ornamental grasses reflected in the shimmer of a pond or the calming gurgle of a classic fountain. Here we are once again.. a new g ardening season beckoning forth, new visions, new inspirations, new trends, new beginnings and, of course without doubts in our minds the exclamation “I just know this will be the best gardening season ever” or “without a doubt this is the year to achieve the garden of my dreams, my vision.” Lastly, the vision of the garden or the essence of the inspiration, is the therapeutic nature of gardening where the companions of pale blue skies, dark green foliage and coffee bean brown soil calm and soothe. The simple task of setting plants in the soil, from a cherry spring pansy to a fragrant, flowering shrub; from a pretty pink rose to a plot of vegetables; from a decorator topiary to a majestic tree - of watching growth and flourishment, a unity with nature. Until the next column... Sit back and vision your garden. Visions of the Garden Janice J. Donelle Horticulturist Pine Ridge Garden Gallery Now is the time to vision your garden...

Charles Fothergill, who owned land in the village around the time of the Quakers, was born in 1782 and arrived in this area about 1820. The Town of Ajax's Brenda Kriz, who maintains the archives, noted there is plenty known about Mr. Fothergill but she has been unable to locate a photo. She believes there is descen- dants in the area and is hoping someone may be able to help. "He sounds like quite an interest- ing character," said Ms. Kriz. She noted he had a "grandiose" plan for a planned community, founded the first literary historical society in Upper Canada, was an au- thor, newspaper editor and printer. "He was a naturalist," added Ms. Kriz. "He did a lot of the first draw- ings and sketches in southern On- tario." Anyone with information can call Ms. Kriz at 905-619-2529 ext. 343. Is Fothergill in your picture? The funding the YWCA of Durham will receive is designated for the Oshawa riding.

Minister of Community, Family and Children's Ser- vices, Brenda Elliott, re- cently announced the cen- tres, bringing the total net- work of main and satellite centres to 103. The final 61 centres have been promised by the min- ister to be up and running "by spring 2003." They will be located in 24 communi- ties, including Durham Re- gion. "The original date was supposed to be April 1, but obviously that's not going to happen," says Eva Mar- tin Blythe, executive direc- tor of the YWCA of Durham Region, the site of one of the new early years centres. "It will still be a while." The more that's invested in boosting the potential of preschool children, the better the future will be is the philosophy behind the 1999 Early Years Study by Margaret McCain, former New Brunswick lieutenant- governor, and Fraser Mus- tard, a physician. What Ms. McCain and Dr. Mustard advocated in 'The Real Brain Drain' re- port was a universal pro- gram to give every child under six stimulation, nu- trition and toys to foster brain development in the formative years. They stressed such activity would give all young chil- dren an edge to assist them economically, emo- tionally and socially throughout the rest of their lives. Up until now, the provin- cial government, which commissioned the report, created the Early Years Centres in 40 communities. These sites focused on children identified as at risk and were set up in areas where low-income families and those with special needs lived. In a hard-hitting follow- up report, Ms. McCain and Dr. Mustard pointed out that if the provincial gov- ernment had put the $200 it refunded to Ontario tax- payers in 2000 into early childhood development programs, there would have been enough money to expand the centres and run them for one year. "We must face up to the cost of improving (early childhood development) initiatives, given our need to take steps to improve the quality of human capi- tal in today's knowledge- based society," the report says. The YWCA has been the cornerstone of supportive and emergency housing and recreational programs for women and children in Durham Region for more than half a century. The agency also offers recreational and fitness programs, plus many ac- tivities open to area preschoolers. The capacity at the early years centre in Oshawa will expand as the program grows. "The way our plan is set up, it will be a growth plan as we get bigger," says Ms. Mar tin Blythe. "The YWCA has been in- volved with the early years since it started a day nurs- ery in 1946." Although the actual tim- ing for the opening of the new centre has not yet been firmed up, Ms. Martin Blythe says the Y is ready. Its spring brochure lists eight programs for young children. "One is our 'ABC Club' for three- to five-year- olds. We've been doing this (program) for 10 years." The announcement by Minister Elliott for the ad- ditional 61 Ontario Early Years Centres will cost $46.6 million. Funding for the early years centres is part of the federal-provincial Early Childhood Development agreement, through which money is transferred to the provinces as part of the federal government's Na- tional Child Agenda.

Peter. Currie, 41, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the March 9, 2002 slaying. Court heard the man led Alexis into the rural Durham area, slashed her throat four times and left her to die alone. As the father returned to his rented van, Alexis clutched dirt and leaves in her tiny left hand under a pine tree where she was later found lying face down. The toddler died from the sharp force in- juries to the neck; hy- pothermia was also a con- tributing factor. "It must have taken a number of hours ... waiting for her inevitable fate," prosecutor Rob Clark told Mr. Justice David Watt. Judge Watt agreed to a joint submission by Mr. Clark and defence lawyer Austin Cooper and or- dered that Mr. Currie not be considered for parole for 18 years. Mr. Currie was originally charged with first-degree murder, mean- ing police and prosecutors believed he had planned the killing. To avoid a lengthy or painful trial, the Crown will sometimes agree to prose- cute on a lesser charge. While Mr. Clark read an agreed statement of facts to the court, Mr. Currie sat in the prisoner's box with his head down. His wife Maureen, Alexis's mother, sat in the front row of the gallery clutching a framed picture of Alexis and her sister Robyn. Other family members wore white and pink ribbons. Mr. Currie, who was suf- fering from depression when he killed Alexis, was separated from his wife after being charged and convicted of assaulting her. Four days before the mur- der, the Curries agreed Peter would have unsuper- vised visits with Alexis and Robyn, then 4. In the days following, Peter, a TTC mechanic, asked a colleague for a length of trolley rope, Mr. Clark said. Aware of Mr. Currie's family problems, the co-worker asked why he wanted it. "In response, Mr. Currie said simply, 'Read the pa- pers Monday,'" Mr. Clark said. Mr. Currie reassured the colleague he wouldn't harm himself but added, "You may not see me again." On March 9, Mr. Currie picked up his children as had been arranged. Robyn later recalled going shopping and get- ting cookies at a grocery store. Mr. Currie drove the girls to a rural area on Westney Road, Mr. Clark said. "Mr. Currie parked the rented van on the side of the road and, leaving Robyn in the vehicle, took Alexis with him. Mr. Currie climbed a fence into a dense bush composed of birch, pine and cedar trees," the prosecutor said. Then Mr. Currie took out a knife and cut his daugh- ter's throat. After returning to the van, he drove to a relative's home in Whitby with Robyn. Mr. Currie told family members Alexis was with her mother. The next evening, Mr. Currie drove Robyn to a To ronto park near her grandparents' home and told her to go see them. On March 11, police found Mr. Currie at a Kingston Road motel. He told officers Alexis was OK but wouldn't reveal her whereabouts. Police found a knife on Mr. Currie, as well as fur-lined handcuffs, masking tape, two-and-a- half gallons of gasoline and some nylon rope. None of those objects were used in killing Alexis, Mr. Clark said. In an interview with homicide Detective Sergeant Regg Pitts, Mr. Currie said the system had been unfair to him and he had lost everything as a re- sult of the assault charge. "Mr. Currie also men- tioned that he had really 'messed up' his life," Mr. Clark told the court. On March 14, five days after he killed his daughter, Mr. Currie led officers to the area where he had left her. After hours of search- ing, the little girl's body was found. She was wear- ing the same clothes her mother had dressed her in on the Saturday; her hat was on the ground near her head. A psychiatrist later con- cluded Mr. Currie suffered from a "depressive disorder and heightened anxiety that resulted in an episode of depersonalization." However, Mr. Currie was "capable of forming the requisite intent to commit the offence of murder," Mr. Clark said. Making a statement to the court, Mr. Currie stood in the prisoner's box, cry- ing as he said he was sorry for what he had done. "I know I have to be pun- ished for it. ... I had no right to cause harm to everyone else. It was just between me and my wife and it should have stayed that way," he said. Then reading a letter to his daughter Robyn, Mr. Currie said he loved her. "I want you to know there's nothing you could have done. I was messed up," he said. Mr. Currie asked his daughter to remember the good times they had shared. "You're strong enough to overcome the trauma that I caused you. I will always love you and I think about you both all the time." In his submission to the judge, Mr. Currie's lawyer said his client was a good father who had tried to get help for his depression. Killing his daughter was an impulsive act, Mr. Cooper said. Outside court, Maureen Currie said it was difficult to hear about her daugh- ter's struggle to survive. "It hurts a lot ... but jus- tice is done," she said, adding she still feels rage and torment. –––– FFRROOMM TTOORRSSTTAARR NNEEWWSS SSEERRVVIICCEE A/P PAGE 22 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 28, 2003 www.durhamregion.com That’s right, The Court at Brooklin retirement residence is 50% built!

Monarchs capture OFSAA crown with big 2-0 win BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The third time was definitely the charm for the St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs g irls’ hockey team at the provincial high school cham- pionships. The Monarchs — entering the 2003 Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associa- tions (OFSAA) ‘AAA’ Cham- pionships as the number-one seed — didn’t falter in their quest for the gold medal after finishing as silver medallists in 2001 and 2002. St. Mary (24-1 overall record) captured the cham- pionship trophy Thursday afternoon with a gut- wrenching 2-0 victory over host and longtime rival Our L ady of Mount Carmel Cru- saders from Mississauga at the Brampton Sports and Entertainment Centre. This year’s undefeated run through the 16-team OFSAA event was made even sweeter by the past disappoint- ments, said assistant coach Lori Brown. “The girls’ finally feel like they accomplished some- thing they set out to accom- plish at the first OFSAA fes- tival three years ago. The girls really feel like they’ve come to the end of a long road and they ended it the way they wanted to,” she said. After a scoreless first peri- od, the Monarchs got all the goals they would need in the last two minutes of the mid- dle frame. First, leading scorer Ashley Riggs broke the deadlock with 1:53 re- maining, with Amanda Morra and Nicole Ruta draw- ing assists. Then, with 39 seconds re- maining in the second frame, Stephanie Walsh netted an all-important insurance marker. Riggs drew an assist. In the third period, there w ould be no letup in the Monarchs’ play. First and foremost was the goaltend- ing of Quinn Caggiula who withstood a battery of shots in order to earn the shutout, her second of the tourna- ment. Brown said Caggiula was the glue that held the Mon- archs together throughout the game and especially in the third when Mount Carmel put on the pressure. “Quinn was so on her game.

Going into the pivotal champi- onship game, Brown said the St. Mary girls were collectively locked into the task at hand. “They were amazing. They were unfazed by it all. They kept focused and didn’t let up at all.” The Monarchs knocked off the fourth-seeded Markham District Secondary School Marauders 5-2 in the semifinals. Riggs netted a hat trick, with sin- gles to Cristen Allen and Catherine Kerr. Adding assists were Jenn Sadler, Morra and Ruta. St. Mary earned its way to the semifinal by blanking rival St. Thomas Aquinas from London 5-0 in the quarter-final contest Wednesday, backed by the shutout goaltending of Caggiula. Riggs scored twice against the London squad, with singles to Morra, Sadler and Kerr. In pool play, St. Mary emerged with a perfect 3-0 record to capture f irst place in pool ‘A’. The Monarchs opened strongly with a 17-1 thrashing of 16th-seed Eastview from Barrie Tuesday morning. Among the goal scorers were Riggs with five, Kerr with a hat trick, and Judges, Ruta, Bree Grenon, Sadler, and Lisa Heinin. That afternoon, the Monarchs subdued ninth-seed Birchmount from Scarborough 4-1. Ruta, Sadler, Judges and Riggs scored. We dnesday morning, the Mon- archs finished pool play with a 2-1 win over eighth-seed Notre Dame from Burlington. Riggs tallied both goals. NNOOTTEESS::The St. Mary players used a previous News Advertiser article as motivation for their gold- medal run. In an article published prior to the championships, it pointed out the team was perennial bridesmaids and never the brides at the provincial tournament. With that in mind, team members left the dressing room and tied their skates in the lobby, while singing ‘Going to the Chapel’ prior to the championship contest... the Mon- archs finished with an incredible record of 78-3-1 over the past three seasons...

This Growth Management Study is an unprecedented opportunity for the City of Pickering to guide future growth in the study area in ways that will protect the sensitive natural environment, support a vibrant economy, highlight the unique cultural landscape and provide an attractive extension to the existing urban and open space areas of Pickering. The study will be carried out in three phases: Phase 1 - focuses on the collection of background information on the natural, cultural and agricultural environment to map a system of Environmental Constraints and Opportunities within the study area. Phase 2 - focuses on an analysis of alternative growth options including various urban-rural boundary and urban density configurations to accommodate anticipated future population/employment within the unconstrained or developable lands. Phase 3 - focuses on the preparation of neighbourhood level planning and design concepts. Input and involvement from the community of Pickering is needed to successfully carry out this project. A number of consultation activities are planned including regular project bulletins like these. For further information on this project, to sign up for a task force, or to be put on the mailing list please contact: Catherine Rose, City of Pickering Project Manager By mail: One The Esplanade, Pickering, L1V 6K7 By phone: (905) 420-4660 ext. 2038 By fax: (905) 420-7648 By email: crose@city.pickering.on.ca OR Ann Joyner, Dillon Consulting Project Manager By mail: 235 Yorkland Blvd., Suite 800, Toronto, M2J 4Y8 By phone: (416) 229-4647 ext. 335 By fax: (416) 229-4692 By email: ajoyner@dillon.ca We encourage you to participate in shaping the future of Pickering.

The camp was hosted at Durham College in Oshawa. Annual all-star senior boys’ all-star game goes April 1 PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——No foolin’ — the best senior boys’ basketball players in the region gather for the LOSSA all-star game Tuesday, April 1. Prior to the contest at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pick- ering, players take dead aim at the hoop in the three-point shooting contest at 6 p.m. The all-star game follows at 7:15 p.m. with the popu- lar slam-dunk contest scheduled for halftime. The annual showcase takes a dif- ferent tack this year, said organizer and St. Mary coach Mike Gorden- sky, owing to a blowout result last season. This year, rather than having the east all-stars against the west, players were drafted by team coaches Dave Jackson, of Pickering High School, and Mike McFetters from J. Clarke Richardson Colle- g iate, both Ajax schools. All Durham schools, with the ex- ception of Whitby’s Anderson Col- legiate, are sending their best play- ers to the contest. Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for students with ID. St. Mary is at 1918 Whites Rd., in Pickering. ••• Durham Region will again field a team of senior boys’ all-stars at a showcase tournament in Toronto next month. All-star teams from Toronto and the regions compete at the annual ‘Star Wars’ tournament at Humber College in Toronto April 13 to 15. Tuesday was the final cut-down day for the event. The team of 12 players is coached by longtime Pickering High coach Ron Parfitt, along with assistants Gordensky and Jackson. The Durham all-stars face the Hamilton all-stars in their first game, Sunday, April 13 at 1 p.m. Other teams competing are To ronto Team One, Toronto Team Two, Peel, Halton, York and Nia- gara regions. The consolation and champi- onship finals are April 15 at Hum- ber’s North Campus at 6 and 8 p.m., respectively. PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A Pickering ball player had two hits, but the Susquehanna University Crusaders couldn’t muster a victory in a doubleheader sweep by the Lebanon Valley Flying Dutchmen in Com- monwealth Conference baseball play last Sun- day. Susquehanna dropped 9-0 and 5-1 decisions to Lebanon Valley in its American collegiate con- ference opener at the Crusaders’ home field in Selinsgrove, Pennsylva- nia. Junior outfielder Gerohn Lanns, who played minor ball in the Pickering Baseball Asso- ciation, collected two sin- gles, going 2-for-6 at the plate for Susquehanna. PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The Pickering Pan- thers Plumbing Mart/Alberici Con- structors/Lone Star minor peewee select team put together four con- secutive victories to capture the championship at the recent Oshawa tournament.

After twice being unable to hold third period leads in their Ontario Hockey League Eastern Conference best-of- seven quarterfinal series with Peterborough, the Generals built a lead and protected it Tuesday, blanking the Petes 3-0 before 3,538 fans at the Civic Auditorium. Oshawa’s win deadlocks the series at 2-2. Game 5 was played Thursday in Peterbor- ough after press deadline. The teams played a score- less opening period, although the Petes came close on a cou- ple of occasions. Jamie Tardif clanged a wrist shot off the post just 90 seconds after the opening faceoff and Greg Chambers had a breakaway with six minutes left in the pe- riod, but defenceman Fred Hatziioannou showed good closing speed to limit the op- portunity. The Generals used the power play to build a lead in the second period. Jamie Johnson scored his first of the series 32 seconds into the frame, dumping a backhand by Peterborough netminder David Currie. Shortly after Oshawa goalie Chris Beckford-Tseu stoned Patrick Kaleta with 4:46 re- maining in the period, Mike Gough scored his fourth of the series, taking a feed from Brandon Nolan in the slot giv- ing Oshawa a 2-0 lead at 16:08. The goal marked the first time in the series that either time had enjoyed a two-goal advantage. Nathan Horton, who played a robust game, rounded out the scoring with an empty net marker at 19:05. Beckford-Tseu was strong in goal for Oshawa, finishing with 27 saves. In Game 3 Monday in Peter- borough, Eric Staal showed precisely why he’s considered a top prospect for this sum- mer’s National Hockey League draft. The centre scored three times, including the winner at 1:08 of overtime, as Peterbor- ough rallied to beat the Gen- erals 5-4 before a crowd 3,429. Staal also forced the over- time Monday, tying the score with just 22 seconds remain- ing in the third period. L adislav Kolda, Gough, Ahren Nittel and Chris Hulit scored for the Generals. Beckford-Tseu made 38 saves in goal for Oshawa, while Peterborough’s Currie made 20 stops. GGEENNEERRAALLLLYY SSPPEEAAKKIINNGG:: Overage defenceman, TTyylleerr CCooookk, who was injured in Game 3 when Kaleta slammed him into the boards, didn’t dress Tuesday. . .W ingers JJoorrddaann BBeeiirrnneess and EEvvaann KKoottssooppoouullooss both played effective, strong skat- ing, physical games for the Generals Tuesday, while BBrraannddoonn NNoollaann helped offen- sively, contributing two as- sists. . .Due to the This Week Home Show at the Civic Audi- torium this weekend, Game 6 in the series goes Monday, March 31 at the Civic at 7:35 p.m. . .Game 7, if needed, is Tuesday, April 1 in Peterbor- ough at 7 p.m. . .Former Gen- eral SSeeaann MMccMMoorrrrooww, a Pick- ering native, made his NHL debut Saturday for Buffalo, when the Sabres played in To r onto.

DDUURRHHAAMM —— An Ajax-based wrestling club hosts its inau- gural tournament for young grapplers this Saturday. The Team Impact Wrestling Club’s Kidz Wrestling Tournament is set for Oshawa’s G.L. Roberts Collegiate, March 29 from 9 a.m. until approximately 3 p.m. The competition features some of the best elementary school-aged wrestlers in the province. The Team Impact Kidz team is one of the most successful in Ontario. In other club news, senior athletes Mike Francis, Paul Harrison, Dante Berlingeri and Danny Brown are cur- rently attending a week of training with U.S. national team coach Bobby Douglas, U.S. national champion Chris Bono, four-time NCAA MVP wrestler Cael Sanderson, and the rest of the Iowa State University wrestling team. This is an alternative to the Korean National Team Camp, previously planned. It was changed due to the war overseas. This is the final stage of in- tensive training preparation prior to the Senior National Wrestling Championships May 2 and 3.
