Email: service@pickeringhonda.com Girls hit with frying pan, mom charged CAS removes children from home BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Police have charged a Pickering mother for allegedly attacking her daughters with a metal fry- ing pan as they were getting ready for school. The woman’s three daugh- ters - ages 13, 10 and eight - were not seriously harmed during the attack, which caused the handle of the fry- ing pan to break, Durham Regional Police said. Sergeant Paul Malik said an investigation began after the oldest sister contacted the Durham Children’s Aid Society following the Oct. 25 incident. A CAS worker removed all three children from their home for their safety, he said, and alerted detectives from Durham police’s sexual assault and child abuse unit. He said the sisters were getting ready for school Oct. 25 when their mother al- legedly got upset at the 10- year-old for “not doing what she was told. “The mother allegedly hit her with a frying pan on her arms and legs.” The eight- year-old girl ran and hid, he said. “The mother then assault- ed the 13-year-old with the frying pan and during this attack the handle broke.” She also allegedly threat- ened to kill all three girls. The investigation revealed the girls, on prior occasions, were allegedly punched, kicked and struck with ob- jects including a stick, a rolling pin and kitchen pans, Sgt. Malik said. Their mother, whose name was withheld to pro- tect the identities of her daughters, surrendered Fri- day to detectives at police headquarters in Oshawa. The 44-year-old woman has been charged with three counts each of assault and threatening death, and two counts of assault with a weapon. She was released on an undertaking to appear in Oshawa court Dec. 11. BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — There were no fireworks like the week before, just two very busi- ness-like mayoralty candi- dates discussing local is- sues. While last week’s Picker- ing East Shore Community Association candidate forum was peppered with lively points and counter- points between Dave Ryan and Doug Dickerson, there were less sparks at Tues- day’s debate hosted by the Ajax Pickering Board of Trade. The brightest spot in an otherwise lacklustre ex- change came when Hume Mar tin took the floor at Tuesday’s debate hosted by the Ajax Pickering Board of Trade. President and chief execu- tive officer of Rouge Valley Health System, Mr. Martin started by refuting rumours the Ajax hospital may close. “Rouge Valley is commit- ted to continuing to operate the Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an emergency depart- ment and services to sup- port that,” he said. “But we won’t be able to do that without the support of the communities of Ajax and Pickering,” Mr. Martin said, asking candidates what they would do to en- sure the future health of res- idents. “The last time I looked at the constitution, health care was a federal and provincial responsibility,” answered Doug Dickerson. The former regional coun- cillor pointed out the federal Pickering girl remains in hospital BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii aanndd SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writers DDUURRHHAAMM — The 53-year-old grandmother of dog-mauling victim Jynnie Kent has been charged with operating an il- legal kennel and allegedly coaching the 11-year-old Pickering girl to mislead po- lice about the attack. Uxbridge Town officials, meanwhile, were expected to be in court today seeking an order to have the dogs, War- rior and Traveller, destroyed. Police arrested the Good- wood dog breeder Monday, one week after little Jynnie was savagely mauled by two of her grandmother’s Dogue De Bordeaux, a rare type of mastiff, while vis- iting her Hwy. 47 property. Jynnie, who received more than 150 bite wounds during the attack and suffered life- threatening injuries, under- went eight hours of emer- gency surgery and will re- quire further operations and therapy. She remains at the Hospital for Sick Children. Durham Regional Police were originally told Jynnie was attempting to separate two dogs that were fighting, when they turned on her and attacked. After weekend interviews with Jynnie and her 12-year- old sister Jessie, another story emerged, police say. “Further investigation re- vealed that the 11-year-old victim went out to the dog pens on her own initiative to put the female dogs in their Trekkie helps Sick Kids hospital BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Engage.

Physical barriers, surveillance equipment, fences and grates are just some of the measures that have been put in place or are soon to be in place at nuclear plants across the country, said Michel Cleroux, a spokesman for the Canadian Nu- clear Safety Commission (CNSC) The federal safety regulator is in the middle of amending its nuclear safety regulations to make perma- nent the security measures required of Canada’s nuclear stations since terrorists destroyed the World Trade Centre two years ago. Among those measures is ward- ing off a waterborne attack, Mr. Cleroux said. “Most of Canada’s nuclear sta- tions are located on the water. We’ve always been concerned about at- tacks from the water, but with everything due to security, we’ve fo- cused more on it since 911,” said Mr. Cleroux. Each plant’s security needs are different because surrounding land- scapes vary, he said. Protective measures range from large concrete arms to keep incoming vessels at bay, to detection devices and sur- veillance equipment. For security reasons, Mr. Cleroux wouldn’t discuss specific sites, only that much of those measures are al- ready in place or in the works, in- cluding both the Darlington and Pickering nuclear stations. And that’s good news to Claring- ton Mayor John Mutton, who earlier this year wrote the CNSC inquiring about a no-fly zone for the Darling- ton plant and a non-navigational zone around nuclear stations for boats. While he would have preferred to hear it from the CNSC itself, Mayor Mutton said he was pleased to hear through news reports the issue is being addressed. “It never made sense to me the idea that you could float up to the back door of a nuclear station,” he said. Mayor Mutton recalled a news re- port after Sept. 11 of fishermen, who had become stranded near the Bruce nuclear plant and managed to get in through a back door to the plant from the water. “That was a real incident,” he added. Pickering Councillor Mark Hol- land, another strong advocate for a no-fly zone around the Pickering nuclear plant, agreed more security enhancements are always welcome. “You have to take every available precaution because we live in such a dangerous time,” he said. While a no-fly zone is impossible in Pickering, Coun. Holland said his focus now is on ensuring flight- training paths are directed away from the station and students are given adequate security clearance before getting in a plane. The CNSC regulates the safety of Canada’s 22 reactors, with perma- nent staff stationed at each facility. Other measures put in place since Sept. 11 include a permanent armed nuclear response force at each sta- tion, enhanced security clearances for employees, enhanced screening equipment, and vehicle barriers. “If you look at everything brought in for the level of protection against a terrorist attack at all our li- censees, security has gone up signif- icantly over the last two years,” Mr. Cleroux said.

The equipment, used during colonoscopies and gastrointestinal scopes, was used on 146 patients be- tween Monday Oct. 27 and Thurs- day Oct. 30, said Francoise Guenette, corporate director of communications for Lakeridge Health Corporation. Equipment is normally washed then sterilized in an automated ma- chine, but in this case the steriliza- tion procedure was not done, said Janice Dusek, chief operating officer of Lakeridge Health Oshawa, adding she does not know how or why it happened. The news has left pa- tients and their families disgusted, worried and furious. “I will have to live with this night- mare for how many years?” asked an angry Sandra Amaral, whose hus- band had a colonoscopy last Mon- day. “I want to make a noise. This is not fair, the way they’re doing it, keeping it quiet.” The hospital called Mr. Amaral on Sunday and told him to come in to be tested for blood-borne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis. He’ll now re- ceive a vaccination against hepatitis A and B and be continuously tested for HIV and Hepatitis C. Susan McLean had a colonoscopy last Thursday and was told yester- day that she must now be tested for six months to a year and must use condoms to have sex with her hus- band. As well, she cannot share ob- jects like nail clippers and scissors with her family and if she spills her blood anywhere it must be cleaned up with bleach. “I’m very scared, very upset,” she said. “And I’m very nervous about hospitals right now... after this whole SARS scare, you’d think they (the hospital) would be really care- ful.” Mrs. McLean was told the ma- chine that flushes fluid in and out during a procedure was not steril- ized. “They said 85 per cent of the germs are killed by the detergent, but what about the other 15 per cent?” she asked. Ms. Dusek said the risk of trans- mission is “extremely low,” but that patients are being warned, tested and vaccinated at Lakeridge Health Whitby to “follow protocol and that if there is an issue, to ensure that no one else gets infected.” Patients currently scheduled for the procedures are assured the equipment is clean and has been sterilized properly, Ms. Dusek said. “We’re making sure we’re taking every single precaution for safety, we’re making sure everything is cor- rect,” she said. At press time, Ms. Dusek said a report on what happened was ex- pected within 24 to 48 hours. For more information, contact Lakeridge Health Corporation at 905-576-8711 ext. 4884. Medical equipment wasn’t sterilized Class action suit launched against hospital DDUURRHHAAMM -— A class-action lawsuit is set to be launched against Lak- eridge Health Oshawa. At press time Tuesday, promi- nent Durham lawyer Bernie O’Brien was preparing a statement of claim for several patients who may have been infected with HIV or hepatitis after unsterilized equip- ment was used on them last week at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. Mr. O’Brien said the claim would be filed first thing this morning. Lakeridge Health Oshawa is to be the main defendant, while others will be added as those responsible are revealed. “It’s more than a modest problem for them,” he said of the victims, calling the experience harrowing. “In effect, their lives are on hold for the next year or so.” The individuals who contacted him did not know each other, Mr. O’Brien said, adding he was “reluc- tant” to reveal how many had come forward. DDUURRHHAAMM — Sandra Amaral wants to talk to other victims who may have been infected by unsterilized equipment at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa. “We need help,” she said. “Togeth- er we will have more power than in- dividually.” Mrs. Amaral’s husband had a colonoscopy last Monday and is being tested for HIV and hepatitis. She’s looking for emotional sup- port and answers and feels the af- fected patients can learn from one another. Call her at 905-432-2040 or 416-428-0630. First lawsuit in the works JJAANNIICCEE DDUUSSEEKK Risk ‘extremely low.’ Woman wants to hear from victims PPPP llll eeee aaaa ssss eeee rrrr eeee cccc yyyy cccc llll eeee government pledged this week to dedicate up to $2 billion of its bud- get surplus to health care. Under his leadership, Pickering council would work hard to make sure those promises and that of the new Liber- al government are kept, he said. “We’ll look after our business if they look after theirs,” Mr. Dicker- son added. Dave Ryan, his rival, also commit- ted to working with the hospital in the future, and with other levels of government to ensure those “new deals” promised are realized. Transportation was also a hot issue, with both candidates agree- ing the widening of 401 and the ex- tension of the 407 through Durham are crucial. Mr. Ryan said he’d like to see the Ajax Pickering Transit Authority link to Toronto and York Region routes, as well as an im- proved north-south transit corridor in Pickering. Mr. Dickerson suggested round- abouts, which are widely used in Eu- rope, could help ease gridlock. Bus routes should also be re-examined with the help of local businesses, who know what their employees need to get around the City, he said. On the issue of taxes, the two agreed to disagree. While Mr. Dick- erson said he felt a zero per cent tax increase is achievable, Mr. Ryan said he was being unrealistic. “I’m not going to debunk num- bers. You’re business people. You know the numbers,” he said. “We have an obligation to live within our means and I’ll do that to the best of my ability. But I don’t know how you improve transit corridors and deliv- er no tax increase.” As for future growth, Mr. Ryan said he would like to see Pickering use its leverage as a gateway to To ronto to increase its commercial and industrial tax base. He would establish a business advisory coun- cil to better address the needs of the local business community and help facilitate entrepreneurs relocating to Pickering. Mr. Dickerson pledged to work with Pickering’s economic develop- ment department to attract new- comers. He said he would be willing to go into boardrooms himself to seal the deal and promised to push for infrastructure funding for the development of Seaton. Both candidates also said they would fully support Herizon House, and other programs for abused women and children in west Durham. DDUURRHHAAMM — The Durham health de- partment is opening its first dedicat- ed flu vaccination clinic Saturday. The clinic will operate six days a week from Saturday, Nov. 1 to Satur- day, Dec. 13 at the Whitby Mall, 1615 Dundas St. E. Hours are Monday to Thursday noon to 7 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The clinic is closed Tuesday, Nov. 11. The clinic is in addition to other community-based clinics being held throughout Durham during the same time period. For more information on flu and clinic times and places, call the Durham Region health department at 905-723-8521, toll-free at 1-800-841- 2729 ext. 2900 or visit www.region.durham.on.ca. 90s, or TNG in Trekkie talk. Shuttle Commonwealth raffles off a bundle of Star Trek collectibles Nov. 30, including autographed pic- tures of Patrick Stewart (a.k.a. Cap- tain Jean Luc Picard of TNG), and Babylon 5’s Claudia Christian (a.k.a. Commander Susan Ivanova). Other Star Trek items include models, children’s toys, patches, posters, card games and a glass chess set, all donated from stores in Picker- ing and Toronto. Half of the money will go towards chapter events, while the other half will be donated to the Hospital for Sick Children, where Mr. Williams once spent a week with his leg in trac- tion as a child. “We have 1,000 tickets made up and so far 100 sold,” he says. “We’re selling them for $1 a piece or five for $3.” Mr. Williams also hopes the draw will help raise awareness about the club and help recruit new members. So far his chapter is made up of six members from as far away as Ken- tucky, Ohio and North Carolina. It costs only $16 US to join. He is also a member of the marine strike group, a military offshoot of Starfleet and through the club, has completed officer training school, of- ficers command college, and fleet of- ficer school. “The courses deal mainly with the organizational structure of the club. It’s an interesting way to get involved and a get a feel for how things run,” says the 36-year-old bachelor. Earlier this month marked his first Star Trek summit in Brampton, hosted by the USS Hadfield chapter based in Georgetown. It was a re- gional event and much smaller than the annual international conference Mr. Williams watched on a live Web cast this summer and held in the United States. “It’s not all about Star Trek,” he says, of the conferences. “It’s just about a group of people with similar interests going out and socializing, or going to the show or bowling.” Uniforms can be purchased through the club and some members do take it to the extra level, wearing extensive makeup at the conferences, says Mr. Williams. “We’re not as bad as the Klingons,” he says, pointing out there is a Klin- gon assault group in nearby Oshawa. There are also Romulan groups with- in Starfleet. Asked if he’s ever criticized for his obsession, Mr. Williams says, “The idea behind Star Trek is to put all that stuff aside. “We’re not big on age, size, or what planet you come from. We try not to form opinions about people before we get to know them.” But Mr Williams does have some opinions when it comes to his most memorable Star Trek moments. The best Star Trek movies were No. 2 and No. 4, The Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home. The most charismatic captain: William Shatner’s James T. Kirk, from the original Star Trek se- ries. As for his favourite character of all the series and movies, Mr. Williams opts for Lieutenant Commander Worf, played by Michael Dorn in TNG. “Worf is always struggling to main- tain his temper, something the entire planet needs to learn,” he adds.

While doing this one dog turned on her, tearing her coat and knocking her to the ground,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. With Jynnie down, “several other dogs” started mauling her, he said. “It was an attack on a little girl by three or four dogs for no apparent reason,” said Detec- tive Constable Bruce Kelly of 26 Division. Det. Const. Kelly said Jyn- nie’s grandparents came out of the residence, pulled her from the pen, wrapped her in a blan- ket and drove her to hospital. Det. Const. Kelly alleged Jyn- nie’s grandmother “instructed the grandchildren not to di- vulge the whole story of how the incident took place. “That (dog fight) didn’t hap- pen. It came to light that what the grandmother was saying wasn’t the truth. She was omit- ting facts,” he said. Although Jynnie is improving and has been removed from the intensive care unit, she has a long road to recovery ahead of her, said Det. Const. Kelly, who interviewed the child Sunday at her hospital bedside. “She’s in feisty spirits and doctors are happy with her progress. However, she’ll need further surgeries, extensive therapy and treatment,” he said. “But she sure is lucky she survived.” Heather Laverdiere, 53, of Hwy. 47 in Goodwood, has been charged with obstruct police and attempting to obstruct jus- tice. She was released to ap- pear Dec. 22 in the Ontario Court of Justice on King Street West, Oshawa. Each offence carries a maxi- mum jail sentence of two years, if convicted. Mrs. Laverdiere and her hus- band Denis are also charged under local bylaws with illegal operation of a kennel, having more than three dogs and hav- ing dogs that are unregistered and unlicenced, said Township of Uxbridge solicitor Quinto Annibale. Each charge carries a maximum fine of $5,000. The couple is to appear today in Provincial Offences Act court in Whitby, where the Township of Uxbridge will seek an order to have Warrior and Traveller destroyed. The dogs, weighing 110 and 120 pounds, are currently in quarantine at Uxbridge Scugog Animal Shelter. Following an in-camera meeting Monday, Uxbridge council passed the motion to apply for the court-ordered de- struction of the French mas- tiffs. The Township has taken five of nine dogs owned by Jyn- nie’s grandparents into its shel- ter in Scugog, including War- rior and Traveller. The last three seized are being investi- gated to determine if they too were involved in Jynnie’s at- tack. “Because of the viciousness, the severity of the injuries caused the concern is it might occur again in the future,” said Mr. Annibale. Council also took the extra step of amending its bylaw to allow animal control to hold the dogs until the application for destruction is heard, which could take one to three months. Dogs placed in quarantine by the Region’s Health Depart- ment are typically released to the owner after 10 days, if there are no signs of rabies. “We’ve gone a step farther,” said Mr. Annibale. “We don’t want the dogs released until the destruction application is heard.” According to Township offi- cials, Ms. Laverdiere is a tenant of the Goodwood property and was ordered in early October to have six of the nine dogs re- moved, since Uxbridge bylaws only permit three per property. A Jynnie trust fund has been set up by the TD Canada Trust. Donations can be made to branch 1997 account number 5204044 under Canadian Molosser Association.

A town hall meeting quizzing municipal hopefuls on the air- port and the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, and Seaton and the agricultural preserve, takes place Thursday, Nov. 6 at Claremont Community Cen- tre. The meeting kicks off at 7 p.m. and features Ward 3 can- didates: Dave Pickles and Bon- nie Littley for local Ward 3, Rick Johnson and Sally Miller for the regional position, as well as mayoral candidates, Dave Ryan and Doug Dicker- son. It is hosted by Voters Or- ganized to Cancel the Airport Lands (VOCAL), the Green- wood Ratepayers Association, and the Claremont and Dis- trict Community Association. Organizers will also take questions from the floor. The Claremont Community Centre is located at 4941 Brock Rd. in Claremont.

The News Advertiser This Week The Canadian Statesman Uxbridge Times-Journal Metroland Durham Region Media Group We’ve got Durham covered! Editorial Ryan’s ready for the job Councillor would lead a productive council Less than a week from today you will decide the fate of Pickering for the next three years; how your money is spent, your city developed and your kids educated, with possible ramifications for years to come. It's been a race with little controversy or confusion. Unfortunately it's also been a quiet campaign due to lack of debate forums through the community, leaving it hard to really get a feel for the new faces on the ballot. In the mayor's race however, that's less of an issue since both candidates have served on council in the past, with Dave Ryan sitting as local councillor for the past nine years. Doug Dickerson served on council 1978 to 1980, 1988 to 19 91 and 1996 to 2000 as regional councillor. Clearly both men understand the process and the is- sues. But Mr. Ryan, with his consistent and recent expe- rience, serving alongside long-time Mayor Wayne Arthurs, has garnered strong respect amongst his peers and has shown he understands the complexity of issues that often have no easy answers. He is honest when he says a zero tax increase would not best serve the com- munity although it would be politically-expedient to promise one. Together with the other members of Pick- ering council he has accomplished much for the city in recent years and he has a vision for the future with an eye to development tempered by environmental respon- sibility. Mr. Ryan's strong working relationship with for- mer mayor, now MPP, Arthurs, will help him work with the province to the benefit of Pickering. For the regional Ward 1 seat, there is no question the City would lose a great asset if Maurice Brenner was not returned to council. He has 18 years of experience and has never lost the passion that makes a great represen- tative. Paul White has his merits too and in a different race may have received the nod however, we just can't imagine Pickering without Coun. Brenner. In Ward 1 local, we like Kevin Ashe's sincerity. The for- mer Catholic school board trustee and police board di- rector has a healthy amount of experience and could jump into the job running. He is far and away the best communicator and most well-rounded candidate. David Steele also deserves a look for his strong knowledge of the environment, although his work has met with mixed reactions within the environmental community. In Ward 2 local, Bill McLean gets the nod for his ser- vice to the community over the past term. He has been responsive to community needs. His rival, Brian Evely seems to have some drive but we'd like to see him bring some strategies rather than just promises to listen. In Ward 2, Regional Councillor Mark Holland was ac- claimed and will most certainly continue to earn the rep- utation that got him there. For Ward 3, at the regional level it is tough to decide between the bright, intelligent enthusiasm of Sally Miller and the long-time experience and connections of Rick Jo hnson. We haven't seen a lot of fresh ideas from the veteran for a while though and think it may be time to bring in a new recruit. At the local level in Ward 3 we think David Pickles de- serves another term. He has the knowledge on a variety of issues affecting the ward and is able to bring them to the table and communicate his constituents' needs. Bon- nie Littley has passion for the environment and her voice is a valuable contribution to Pickering. It would be nice to see her stay involved, however we don't think she is quite ready for the council floor. All candidates for the Catholic board were acclaimed. At the public school board, Pickering has a nine-candi- date slate vying for two positions. Eight are newcomers while incumbent Paul Crawford has put in a dismal per- formance in the past term. Blair Young appears to have done his homework and is by far the superior communi- cator in the group. Our second choice is Richard Flem- ing for his experience as a teacher, and emphasis on and commitment to accountability, while Michael Orser's ex- perience as a school council chairman does distinguish him from the rest.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE McINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Thoughts on the Pickering election... TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: As a long-time Pickering resi- dent, I am somewhat concerned about the lack of enthusiasm in the current municipal election campaign. No major, con- tentious issues have emerged and the candidates are cam- paigning in a businesslike fash- ion. Perhaps the electorate is experiencing a letdown after the recent exciting provincial election with its burning issues! But our community life is also affected by local issues and de- cisions relating to them and our leaders who make those deci- sions merit our thoughtful con- sideration and action on Nov. 10. I well remember former days when Pickering council was often an unproductive body. But in the fifteen years when Wayne Arthurs was mayor, Pickering became a well run city and council members worked together to serve their constituents. Probably this is really a tribute to Mr. Arthurs leadership. Now, as we begin to plan Pickering's future, I for one, think that we need a con- tinuation of his positive ap- proach. Doug Dickerson, candidate for mayor, has been promising zero tax increases. In my opin- ion, our tax increases have been reasonable given the new ser- vices and facilities we now have: a new library branch and com- munity centre, expanded recre- ational facilities, enhanced se- nior facilities, a superb water- front area and a vibrant city centre to name but a few. Dave Ryan has been a mem- ber of Council for nine years and is recognized as a quiet voice of reason, a hard worker, a clear thinker, a man of integrity and a skilled negotiator and consensus builder. We need his leadership as we move into the future. Surely Dave Ryan is the right choice for Mayor of Pick- ering. I encourage our residents to support Dave on Nov. 10. RRoodd MMaassoonn,, PPiicckkeerriinngg •••••• TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: On Nov. 10 please exercise your right to vote, remember- ing solemnly those men and women who fought in previous wars. Don't spoil or omit your ballot in all fairness to them. Every election seems to be a popularity contest. I'm not dis- turbed at Mr. Holland's tactics - take it for what it is, puerile nonsense. I've known Doug Dickerson since the 1980s and each time he runs somebody smears his name. I don't al- ways agree with his decisions. He views issues from a prag- matic perspective. Twice now he's been castigated wrongfully and frankly I'm tired of his peers sandbagging him. Who cares if he uses City logos; he's proud to be a part of the city. He still displays the Millenni- um banner over his business on Bayly St. He's always re- sponded to my calls. Just over four years ago Doug worked behind the scenes and I later learned that he helped me get hired at Miller Waste Systems here in Pickering. I was 53 with no job, down and depressed; my family life was suffering. Two men as- sisted me - Doug Dickerson and David Steele. Both are running and both get my vote. Such are the vicissitudes of life in my city! FFrraannkk TThhrreellkkeelldd JJrr..,, PPiicckkeerriinngg •••••• TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: election campaign material of Mr. Doug Dickerson I recently received a copy of Mr. Dickerson's campaign ma- terial in his quest to become the Mayor of Pickering. In this flyer, he states "I will bring sound character, respon- sible government, practical policies and new energy to the mayor's office." Is it an example of "sound character" and "being responsible" to have used the City of Pickering logo on his campaign material in a blatant violation of the federal copy- right legislation and without the permission of the City of Pickering? This material has been dis- tributed to residents through- out the city and was also readi- ly available at Mr. Dickerson's table at the all-candidates meeting hosted by PESCA on Wednesday, Oct. 29. At the meeting the words honesty and integrity were used several times to describe the qualities required in the role of mayor. Is this the example of how he would fulfil this role? Mr. Dick- erson has strongly indicated to me by his illegal use of this logo, that he does certainly not share my values of what hon- esty and integrity really are. Mr. Dickerson, you are just not up to the job! MMaarrggaarreett RReeaanneeyy,, PPiicckkeerriinngg •••••• TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: I read with interest the state- ments in your paper made by the mayoral contestants at a debate the other night on the state of Pickering's finances. The remark made by Dave Ryan concerning the ratio of industrial revenue which is far too low in relation to residen- tial revenue, is very much to the point. This is a subject that I have raised with council on past oc- casions. Pickering will not have the right ratio until it actively pursues a policy of encourag- ing industry to locate here. In my opinion Pickering and the surrounding region lost out when they came out against the airport. The airport would have brought in the necessary industrial base needed here for continuing development. The specious arguments made by the opponents of the airport, one of which was sav- ing farm lands has not worked out as most of the land is not now fully worked and a sizable portion will eventually be built on for residential purposes which will impose a greater burden on the city's infrastruc- ture. Also had the airport been de- veloped Pickering would have been in a much better position to weather problems now caused by the late unlamented Harris/Eves government's downloading of fiscal responsi- bilities. My feeling is that until Pick- ering changes its outlook on in- dustry, it will always be just a dormitory city with the prob- lems caused by being one. I would like to know more from the candidates on what their policies are concerning industrial development for the area. RRaayy SSiinnccllaaiirr,, PPiicckkeerriinngg •••••• TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: With election day not too far off, it's interesting to read the views of Pickering residents in- cluding that of Mr. Haug in Oct. 29's publication. I am a long-time Pickering resi- dent (since WWII), a senior cit- izen and a WWII vet, I am con- cerned about who is in charge of our municipality. I will be comfortable to know that the person holding the reins is someone that has high respect for seniors and veterans and all the things that we are associat- ed with on an ongoing basis. This includes the selling of Poppies each year in as many places as possible. I do support Mr. Dickerson whom I have known for quite a few years. He has always shown respect for seniors and veterans in every way and I think it would now be respectful if we, and our families, would now show re- spect for him on election day. He would be a mayor of hon- esty and integrity.

In order to prevent future tragedies the Pickering Fire Services requests that you follow these safety tips to ensure the safe use of smoking materials. Never smoke in bed It's just too easy to fall asleep. Don't smoke if you're drowsy …Especially if you're sitting down in a comfortable chair or if you've been drinking or taking prescription drugs. Check between the cushions for any smokers items that may have fallen into the cracks. Don't leave a lit cigarette …Or a cigar or pipe.They can easily overbalance as they burn down, land on a carpet, newspaper or between sofa or armchair cushions, and start a fire. Use a proper ashtray Make sure it can't be easily knocked over and avoid a build-up of ash and debris. Dispose of your ashes safely Put your ashes in the toilet before going to bed. Don't leave matches or lighters unattended Children love them. And every year children die starting fires with matches and lighters they shouldn't have had. It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes for a child left on their own to start a fire.

The construction of the 33-courtroom facility - promised to Durham by the Province nearly a decade ago - will now be re- viewed by Dalton McGuin- ty’s L iberal government. In Durham, fingers are crossed. The new court- house has become expect- ed. Proof of this is the new reg ional headquarters, cur- rently under construction on Rossland Road in Whit- by, which has been de- signed without court- rooms. The current head- quarters, which houses several of the Region’s courtrooms, is slated to be torn down in 2005. Peter LeBel, Whitby’s di- rector of marketing and economic services, has spent a lot of time pursuing the project for his munici- pality. A total of six sites have been short-listed in Whitby, Oshawa and Ajax. “There is still a need... Hopefully the project will go on,” says Mr. LeBel. “We haven’t heard anything dif- ferent.” Since the project is de- signed to be funded by a private consortium, and then leased to the Province, he says it should pose no financial burden on the new government. The former government, which had reviewed the competing proposals, was to announce its decision this fall. But officials at the Region are still awaiting word. “We haven’t heard a clue,” says Pat Olive, eco- nomic development com- missioner. “They said they would be announcing something this fall.” He says plans are to go ahead with the demolition of the current site. “They (the Province) didn’t believe we were going to tear it down,” he says. Durham officials specu- late the Province is negoti- ating a lease at a separate location, to house the ser- vices until the new court- house is built. The Office of the Attor- ney General did not return phone calls by press time.

Your input is needed Please recycle Pickering juniors lose to St. Michael’s BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——There was something familiar and something completely foreign in the Pickering Boyer Ponti- ac Panthers' play last weekend. What was familiar was the Pan- thers inability to hold a lead, a trait that's becoming a regular part of the team's hockey landscape this season. The Panthers had leads against the visiting Couchiching Terriers at the Pickering Recreation Complex Sun- day night. They did, however, allow Couchiching to regroup on each oc- casion and tie the game, which ended in a 3-3 draw. On Friday night, they did some- thing completely out of character. They gave the South Conference powerhouse St. Michael's Buzzers (15-4-1-1, first in South Conference) all they could handle in the game at the Pickering Recreation Complex, but came up short in a 2-0 loss. A couple of weeks ago, the Pan- thers (5-8-6-0, seventh in South Con- ference) stunk up the joint in a par- ticularly awful 12-1 loss to the first- place Buzzers. This time, the Picker- ing juniors did an about-face, putting forth a solid, albeit losing effort. Panthers' head coach John Winder says holding leads has been particu- larly problematic for his young team this year. But, he prefers this dilem- ma to its polar opposite -- an inabili- ty to score goals and playing from be- hind. "I'd rather be having a lead and learn how to hold one than having to come back in every game we play," he says. As for the loss to St. Mike's, he was impressed with the level of play from his charges in atoning for its previous loss to the Buzzers. "We played with a lot more com- mitment to the game. We wanted to win and the boys showed it on the ice. They wanted to do something more than the 12-1 loss a couple of weeks ago. They went out there and played hard," he says. Against Couchiching, the Panthers followed up a 1-0 first-period lead by increasing their advantage to 2-0 early in the second period. The Terri- ers, however, scored two goals to tie the game at 2-2 with just more than five minutes to play in the second. Less than a minute later, Pickering regained the lead, with Couchiching tying the game once again with 58 seconds remaining in the frame. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 5, 2003 PAGE B1 P PROFESSIONAL SERVICE YOU CAN TRUST SERVICE HOURS MON.-THURS............7:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. FRI.................................7:30a.m. - 6 p.m. SAT................................9 a.m. - 3p.m. 250 Westney Rd.

Pickering belles ring up two ringette wins PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The Pickering belle 'A' ringette team rang in the new ice cam- paign by taking two games from Etobicoke in a season-opening home-and-home se- ries. In their second game of the season on the road in Etobicoke, the Pickering belles stretched their unbeaten record to 2-0 with a convincing 8-1 victory. Etobicoke scored the first goal of the first period, a frame in which neither team dominated. The Pickering squad was un- able to find the back of the net for most of the period, but Mikayla Abel broke through for Pickering's first goal in the late going. Abel's goal provided the spark the Pickering belles needed as they proceed- ed to score the next seven goals in a row en route to the solid victory. All told, Abel scored a hat trick to lead the way. Krystan Jones notched a pair of goals; Lisa Flatman, Jessie Dunn and Mar- tina Cawker each had singles. Assists went to Jovette McDonald and Erin Welsh each with two, Melissa Dart, Monica Pozzan, Cawker and Jones, all with one. Nicole Arnott was outstanding in net in the second period as she left no opportu- nities for Etobicoke to score. Vanessa Bas- tos stood tall in the net in the first frame, allowing only one goal at the seven-minute mark. The Pickering belles played its home opener against Etobicoke, posting a solid 11-4 victory. A quick goal by Jones less then a minute into the game set the tone. Picker- ing dominated most of the game, cruising to a 9-3 lead after the first period. Jones and Abel each chalked up a hat trick in the frame. A quick goal in the second by Martina Cawker would give her a three-goal game, too. Pozzan scored once in the second, while Abel fired another to bring her total to four. Earning assists were Abel and Jones each with four, McDonald, Dart and Natasha Gray each with two, Dunn and Pozzan with one apiece. Pickering's defence of Shawna Silver, Danielle O'Brien, Gray and Megan King kept the ring out of their zone consistently. Goaltenders Bastos and Arnott split the duties, with each contributing stellar play. Pickering midgets slip to .500 mark PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----Af ter a successful launch to the 2003-04 season, the Picker- ing Panthers midget rep 'A' hockey team has been a little flat against divisional ri- vals, falling to the .500 mark. The Peterborough Nationals got the best of the Panthers when the game was hosted on their home ice. The Nationals skated to a 3-1 win. Matthew Evans scored the lone Pickering goal, with Kyle Freder- icks and Andrew Dowdell assisting. Mike Olsen turned away 24 shots in the contest. In a one-sided affair against league- leading Lindsay the Panthers were set down 10-2. Scott Waters and Justin Pa- pizewski scored, with Matthew Perrault and Kyle Gemon adding helpers. Re-establishing their game presence, the Panthers rolled over Oshawa 6-4. Goaltender Dave McElroy was solid before a late-game injury put him on the sidelines. Perrault suited up with less than five min- utes remaining in the game to preserve the win. Lighting the lamp for Pickering was Ev ans with two, Andrew Dudley, Papizews- ki, Perrault, and Chris Lauder with one apiece. Chipping in assists were Andrew Goldsmith with three, Gemon with two, Ev ans, Fredericks and Cory Lyver each with one. Contributing to the team's success were Chris Butler, Leland Street, Nick Hob- son and Chris Pasternack. Larry Dowdell and Herb Goldsmith coach the team. The manager is Paul Wa- ters. Another court gem by Scotiabank AAJJAAXX ----Scotiabank continued to cash in on the court in Ajax Ladies' Basketball League action Wednesday. Scotiabank's undefeated streak looked to be in jeopardy during a seesaw first-half battle. The bankers, however, found the key to unlock the backcourt pressure vault in the second half to cruise to an easy 31- 24 victory over Donlands Jewellers. Engrid Carmichael-Johnson led Sco- tiabank with 14 points. Krystal Green replied with 11 for the jewellers. The second game of the night saw East Side Mario's best half of basketball this season. Displaying a solid team effort, East Side's led Select Food Products 18-15 at the half. East Side's continued to play well until Nadine Kruss fouled out mid-way through the second. Select's Julie Hughes took advantage of more room on the court to lead the way netting 10 of her 12 points in helping Select post a 42-28 victo- ry. On defence, Select focused on shut- ting down East Side's top scorer Lori Lomberg. Lomberg led East Side shooting 75 per cent from the line and scoring 13 points.

Monarchs counting on defence to stuff Sinclair St. Mary prepared for Celtics’ running attack in today’s fo otball semifinal BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Keep a lid on the Sin- clair Secondary School Celtics' run- ning attack. That's the key for the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon- archs in today's (Wednesday) Durham Region senior football semi- final, according to Monarchs' head coach Gordon Judges. "My understanding is they like to run the football," says Judges. "We're preparing for a team that will come out in the wishbone offence and try to pound the football against us. They also throw the ball, so we have to be prepared for that as well." The East Division Celtics (6-1 league record) are all that stands in the way of a fifth consecutive ap- pearance for the Monarchs (7-0 in league) in the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior final. The other semifinal (also played Wednesday afternoon) pits the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas of Pickering and the Monsignor Paul Dwyer Saints of Oshawa. The win- ners play for the LOSSA champi- onship at the Oshawa Civic Stadium Saturday at 2 p.m. Judges notes his defence, which has allowed only 21 points in the course of seven games this season, will have to rise to the occasion yet again Wednesday. The defence comes off a solid, shutout effort against the Pickering High School Trojans, who were beaten 35-0 last Friday afternoon. "In high school football, you have to show that you can stop the run; that's your primary objective. Most teams run the ball a whole lot more than they pass. It's something we work on. Our team is disciplined de- fensively to execute their assign- ments," says Judges. In fact, Judges says Monarchs' un- defeated season to date has been due largely to the solid, consistent contri- bution of the defence. "I honestly think our backbone has been the play of our defence," says Judges. "Our defensive coach, Bert Smith, has taken first-year guys and has made them into football players really quickly." But, the Monarchs' offence is not exactly chopped liver either. The of- fence -- led by senior quarterback Erik Glavic -- can move the ball in the variety of ways, using a veteran backfield and a solid receiving corps. "Basically, our offence takes what- ever the defence presents us," says Judges. "We can run inside or outside and throw the ball for possession or to go deep. We have great speed at wide receiver, not only from Aaron Racioppa, but also from Jesse An- drews and slotback Jason Bulgin. He's a first-year player who has played well and made big catches. Our offensive line gives Glavic time to throw the ball." Sinclair head coach Bill Walters says his Celtics were schooled by the Monarchs in last year's senior semifi- nal; he believes his team has learned from the experience and is better prepared for another run at St. Mary this year. "We got a good lesson in football then. I think we're a better football team now than a year ago," says Wal- ters. "We're an athletic team, so we'll continue to do what we do." And, what they do is run the foot- ball. In the Celtics' 21-0 East Division semifinal win over the Uxbridge Sec- ondary School Tigers, the Sinclair backfield combined for more than 300 yards. Despite owning a vaunted running game, Walters says he's under no illu- sions -- the Monarchs pose a supreme task for his Celtics. "It's (Monarchs' quarterback) Glavic, keeping him under control. They're very well coached, no doubt about it. Their kids are polished and they play well. We know Glavic is there and their coach (Judges) is al- ways well prepared. They were one step ahead of us last year." Walters believes his Celtics will need all hands on deck in order to dethrone the Monarchs in the semifi- nal. "If we're looking for one or two players to carry us, we won't be in the game. The whole package has to be working. Everything has to click if we're to have any success against them."

DDUURRHHAAMM ——Michael Ander- son is a teen who's true to his word. The long-distance runner from Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School noted a medal was a definite possibili- ty going into Saturday's On- tario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Cross-Country Championships in Renfrew, Ontario. Now, it's more than a possi- bility -- it's reality. Anderson, 15, a Grade 10 student at Notre Dame, fin- ished with the silver medal in the 6.06-kilometre junior boys' event in a time of 22 minutes 23.7 seconds. He finished just behind race-winner Kyle Boorsma of Guelph's Centen- nial CVI whose winning time was 22:05.15. A total of 217 com- petitors were in the race. Anderson's silver-medal ef- fort went a long way to helping Notre Dame's junior boys' cross-country team to fifth- place overall in the province. Robert Bentley finished 34th (24:20.9), Daniel Barker was 46th (24:40.6), Ryan Davey was 148th (26:47.8) and Jamie Zan- cai was 177th (27:44.1), giving Notre Dame an overall score of 230 points. Catholic Central High School of London won the junior boys' title with 163. Other local cross-country athletes also had strong ef- forts at OFSAA, hosted at Renfrew's Ma-te-way Park. Pine Ridge's Amber Cushnie finished ninth in the junior girls' division in a time of 15 :54.1 over the 4.03-kilometre course. Cushnie's Durham Re- gion rival Geneva Winterink of Oshawa's Paul Dwyer won the event in a time of 15:21.4. Cush- nie finished first ahead of Win- terink at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) Cross-Country Championships in Pickering last month. Pine Ridge's midget girls' cross-country team finished out of the medals at OFSAA, after its first-place showing at the LOSSA event. The best Pine Ridge runner on the day was Emma Young who fin- ished 62nd. She was followed by teammates Nicole Love (70th), Julie Gardner (79th), Carolyne Gardneer (88th) and Maia Kirk (164th). Pickering High School's Ryan Finn placed 14th in the senior boys' category. He fin- ished the 7.03-kilometre course in 24:07.7. Finn captured top spot at the LOSSA meet.

Pickering 420-9000 WE ARE HERE WEST - 401 - EAST HWY. 2 HARWOODWESTNEYBROCKLIVERPOOLWHITESN St. Mary Catholic Secondary School wide receiver Aaron Racioppa hauled in three touchdowns in leading the top-ranked and undefeated Monarchs to a solid 35-0 victory over the Pickering High School Trojans last Friday For Racioppa, 17, a Grade 12 student at St. Mary, Friday’s three touchdowns bring his total to 17 majors in seven games this season. The visiting Terriers were all over the Panthers in the third period, outshooting the hosts 17-3 in the frame. Goalie Devin Ramasawmy replaced starter Jonathan Keating in the third, after Keating took a hard shot at the end of the second frame. Ramasawmy stopped 17 shots to preserve the tie in the scoreless third period. Ryan Annesley, John Scrymgeour, and Phil McIl- hone scored the Panthers goals. Assisting were Jeremy Whelan, Richard Schofield, Justin Teakle, Andrew Dis- sanayake, Cory York and Paul Rivest. On Halloween night, the Panthers threw a scare into the visiting St. Mike's Buzzers. And, if not for a couple of bad breaks that ended up in the net, the Pickering juniors de- served a better fate. Of special note was the goal- tending of Keating, who stopped 26 shots, including several of the sensational vari- ety. Winder says the addition of forward Clay Costoff and de- fenceman Blake Allen has been a boon to the club. They were acquired in a two-for-one deal with North Bay of the Nor thern Ontario Junior Hockey League that sent Pan- thers' captain and defence- man Bryan Hampton the other way. "We're really happy with them," says Winder. "They're experienced players; they've added a lot of character to our dressing room. We're happy to have them." The Panthers play three games in three nights this weekend, starting Friday when they host the North Yo rk Rangers at the complex at 7:30 p.m. The Pickering ju- niors then take to the road, playing in Stouffville against the Spirit Saturday night and in Toronto against the Wex- ford Raiders on Sunday evening.

N., Oshawa. Above, Pick- ering resident Maiko Hiraki practices on her French horn. DDUURRHHAAMM —— Two new members have joined the board of directors of the Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra. Peter Lennox, of Ajax, comes to the board to head a committee on volunteer recruitment. David Sorichetti, of Whitby, will be in- volved in marketing and promotion. The two join the list of 13 other volunteers who have taken the Os- hawa-Durham Symphony through a growth phase the like of which the orchestra has never seen. "The ODSO under conductor Marco Parisotto has doubled its au- dience in the past two years," said board chairman Sherry Bassin. "This is impressive expansion, and these two new board members will add tremendously to the mix of tal- ented people we have on the board now. I am excited about the value they will add to this dynamic group." Bassin has indicated he will seek re-election for a third term as chair- man of the board of the ODSO at the board's annual general meeting Oct. 14. Lennox has been a resident of Ajax for the past 16 years. He has been a member of the Toronto Po- lice Service for the past 21 years. Sorichetti, who has lived in Whit- by for over 45 years, is an invest- ment adviser for TD Waterhouse in Durham Region. He has owned and operated many businesses over the past 25 years with his family and has also been very active within the community. Community-minded people who would like to be involved in the growth and development of the or- chestra should call Tim Slocombe, executive director at 905-579-6711. The works of music masters fe atured in fall concert DDUURRHHAAMM —— The fall concert of the Durham Youth Orchestra will feature works by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach and Glinka.

Youth perform, Nov. 8 Fifth year for PineRidge Arts Council exhibition AAJJAAXX ----The anticipation will come to a conclusion with the unveiling of the winners of the Ajax / PineRidge Arts Council 5th annual juried art show, Friday, Nov. 7. The exhibition begins with an open- ing reception and awards presentation from 7 to 9 p.m. on the 7th in the Atri- um of the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., Ajax. The show gives local artists a great opportunity to get their work into the public arena and even to sell some of it, says April Polak, the show’s organiz- er. She says visitors to the centre will find works by professional and ama- teur artists in a variety of media take part. Last year, there were about 200 en- tries and about 60 were selected for display during the show, she says. For those whose work does make it to the walls, there is the glory and, of course, the potential for prizes. Best in show will receive $750 from the PineR- idge Arts Council, while the recipient of the Ontario Power Generation Award will win $500. There is also a Mayor's Award and the Pickering Rotary Club Award. There are also two awards specifically for youth. The show continues until Monday, Dec. 8.

Carol Kilby Dunbarton Fairport United Church It’s been said we live in a great community for kids. There’s sports, guiding, cubs, recreation and more. Its also been said it takes a village, which these days means a global village, to raise a child. We’re disturbed even anxious when we hear of children being abducted in Canada. We’re shocked but elated when we hear hundreds of children are rescued from child labour camps in an African quarry. We say children matter. Their health, education and safety all matters. We care more about nutrition, know more about learning disorders and new educational approaches than earlier generations. When we’re not working to give them every possible advantage we’re driving, coaching and cheering for them. But what if we’ve missed something? What if we’ve missed the essence of our children, the very core of their identity, their spirituality? In the midst of all that we do for them so they can do as much as they can, how much does it matter that children are first and foremost what psychologists call, spiritual beings? Do you believe it? That your kids or your neighbours’ kids are spiritual beings? That’s the claim in a most practical book called 10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting. Too often when we talk of things spiritual we may get confused with the important and hopefully life-long religious beliefs and practice we try to teach them or with the meaningful short-term magical things like Santa and Tooth Fairy. Spirituality however is not something we grow out of or even something we learn. Though religion provides us the all important channels or paths by which to live spiritual lives our kids are already spiritual. Spirituality is a child’s awareness of Mystery, their awe and wonder at and sacred connection to creation. It’s their trust in a non-physical power greater than their own. It’s their absolute confidence that they have a purpose and place in the world. Spirituality “is the base from which grows self-esteem, values, morals and a sense of belonging. It’s what gives life direction and meaning.” It’s a consciousness that relates them directly to what we call God. When my I asked my 3 year old niece why she so frequently used the phrase, Oh my God, I expected her to tell me from which parent she’d heard it. She replied: “God is everywhere so I can talk to God anytime.” With spiritual parenting and as communities that acknowledge the spiritual we can foster children’s innate sense of wonder, unbounded creativity, vivid imaginations celebration of and joyful open-ended approach to life. If and when they are hurt or disappointed by the larger world, they will something bigger and longer lasting to hold on to and to sustain them. If we have acknowledged and affirmed the sacred in ourselves and in them, then we will truly live in a great community for kids, a community where children matter. 162 Rossland Rd. – Just East of Harwood Rd. in the Pickering Christian School Sundays 10:30 a.m. – 12 noon PASTOR DENNIS PENNER 905-831-8596 Dunbarton Fairport United Church November 4 8:00 Parenting - study group (4th Tuesday November - March) November 6 7:30 Women’s Spiritual Book Club (1st Wednesday of month) November 14 8:00 Couple Enrichment with Gary & Cheryl Pennington November 18 7:30 Movie Study “Dragonfly” with Densel Washington Spirit Connection 5 week study of Corinthians - Discover your Spiritual Gifts Mondays 7:00 pm November 22 “Deck Your Halls” Annual Bazaar & Craft Show 10:00 am - 3:00 pm Durham Christian Fellowship Call for details 905-831-8596 • Alpha Program • Bible study for singles • Men’s meeting • Ladies meeting • Youth Program • Biker Church • Principal of Leadership Seminar • Call for details FFAITHWAITHWAAYY BBAPTIST CHURCHAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SERVICES Dr. Greg Baker Pastor 9:30 a.m. Sunday School 10:30 a.m. Morning Service 6:00 p.m. Evening Service REFRESHINGLY CONSERVATIVE • PREACHING CENTRED WORLD MISSIONS CONFERENCE 905.686.0951 • TAUNTON RD. & SALEM - AJAX Join Us This Week November 5 -9 Dr. Don Sisk - Keynote Speaker Call for information It’s that busy time of year again at Mitchell Family Books Our Super Music weekend happens November 7th and 8th Our Christmas Flyer begins November 7th with lots of super specials So come in and see what all the excitement is about.

Dr. Greg Baker, Pastor FaithWay Baptist Church, Ajax In A.D. 32, Jesus Christ said, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish....” What a statement! God’s Son says that you can have eternal life. You can live forever. This promise came from the giver of life Himself. It would be foolish to refuse such a gift, considering you are a living soul. When God created the first man Adam, He breathed into Adam “the breath of life: and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). What that means is that you will live for eternity. Your soul will never die. You will live eternally with God or eternally separated from God. But where will you spend your eternity? God’s Word makes it very clear that His desire is for you to spend eternity with Him. The Bible says...”These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life,...” (I John 5:13). God wants us to know that we have eternal life, but we must do it God’s way. First of all, we are all sinners. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23). Because of our sin, we are under the penalty for sin. “For the wages of sin is death;...” (Romans 6:23). This penalty means eternal separation from God in an eternal Hell. However, God sent His only Son to die and pay the penalty for our sins. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). He offers His forgiveness and salvation freely. “...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). God offers Heaven as a Gift, purchased with His blood on the cross of Calvary where Jesus Christ died for you. But like all gifts, it is not yours until you receive it. Here is how you can receive Christ. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9). You must believe in your heart and call on the Lord to save you. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Why not decide right now where you will spend eternity? Will you pray right now and ask God to save you from your sin? Why not pray this prayer: Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I need a Saviour. Right now I turn from my sin and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I am trusting You and You alone for my salvation, believing that You died and rose again from the grave for my personal salvation.
