Jurors in the long-running trial were informed Wednesday that the cases of the two long-time friends have been severed; they returned to the Whitby courtroom after several days’ absence, during which legal arguments unfolded, to find Mr. Hall sitting alone in the prisoner’s box he’s shared with Mr. Jacobson since the trial began in mid-April. They were told by Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson that the case for Mr. Hall will continue as scheduled; a new trial, with a new jury, will be held for Mr. Jacobson. Details of what led to the sever- ance cannot be reported under a judge’s order. Wednesday morn- ing, Douglas Usher and Jason Dos Santos, the lawyers representing Mr. Jacobson, cited that order as they refused comment. “We’re gone,” Mr. Usher said over his shoulder as he and Mr. Dos Santos walked away from the courtroom, carrying boxes full of documents. A few minutes later, the case against Mr. Hall resumed inside the courtroom, as Crown attorney Paul Murray began his cross-ex- amination of the defendant. The judge informed the eight men and four women who have been hearing evidence for several months that they can still antici- pate to have the case handed over for deliberation this fall. It is un- known when the case against Mr. Jacobson will begin again. “I have concluded the best way to proceed is to separate the trials HEAR YE, HEAR YE A.J.

Police say no increase in violence, student has concerns By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – An increase in fight- ing, violence and other problems in and around schools may be a perception to some, but Amanda Canavan says she’s seen it first- hand. At Monday’s Durham District School Board standing commit- tee meeting, the Pickering High School pupil, a student trustee on the board, said incidents of fight- ing are up at the Ajax school. “Since the start of the school year I’ve never seen it so bad,” she said, wondering aloud why this is occurring. “I’ve just noticed that this year in particular... there’s three or four fights a day and last year we seemed to have none.” Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said she’s received similar reports. “What she has seen from her school is what I’m hearing too,” she said. “It’s not just about fights; it’s what is taking place after hours.” Trustee Roy noted concerns about students coming back into schools after hours, hanging out in parks and an increase in vandal- ism to homes.

We feel that we’ve made a major impact.” Durham Regional Police, responding to rumours of imminent violence at J. Clarke Richardson Col- legiate in Ajax, last month sent several squad cars to the school in a show of force. Const. Joe Mitschang, the school’s high school li- aison officer, said one inci- dent at the school led to a slew of rumours that were out of touch with reality. “There was an altercation between one male student and a female student over a racist remark made by the male,” he said. The following day, the female student and friends chased the male down Harwood Av- enue and words were exchanged, but there was no real assault, said Const. Mitschang. However the ru- mour mill took over and all sorts of stories were being spread in the school, and also at the adjacent Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, including tales of an imminent brawl or a drive- by shooting. There were reports of parents being so frightened they pulled students out of school, but nothing occurred, said Const. Mitschang. He says this school year start is no different than others where violence and other incidents are con- cerned, including at Pickering High School, where “there hasn’t been an in- crease but there hasn’t been a decrease either,” despite a few fights across the street in Hermitage Park. “I think the perception of more violence is out there more than in the past,” says Const. Mitschang. Inspector Paul Carroll, in charge of policing in Whit- by, says incidents of dam- age to homes aren’t on the increase, in his experience. “No more than usual, I think,” he says. “I know Whitby’s had a couple of incidents of damage on McQuay (Boulevard), and a couple of arrests were made.” As for fighting, he reports “nothing too out of the ordi- nary. There’s always issues with gang activity and kids hanging around and kids being intimidated by oth- ers,” he says. In Oshawa, a senior re- cently complained that teenagers were ruining Radio Park, just east of the Oshawa Centre, partying into the night and leaving behind garbage, glass and drug paraphernalia, result- ing in several drug arrests. Rumours fueling many of the stories, says Durham officer Elizabeth Roy ✦ Rumours from page 1 Students could walk the walk DURHAM – The public school board’s new student trustees are working on a few projects. Amanda Canavan, a student at Pickering High School, and Sinclair Sec- ondary school student Julius Ta pper gave Durham Dis- trict School Board members a status report after their first meeting with other stu- dent leaders Monday. One idea is for high school students to walk el- ementary pupils to school to obtain some of the 40 hours of community ser- vice work they must notch in order to graduate. Ms. Canavan wondered if there were any liability issues in- volved, adding if the idea flies it would not be imple- mented board-wide until next year, although a pilot project could start this year. Student leaders said they have problems commu- nicating with the student body in their schools, and noted a lack of school spirit, said Ms. Canavan. Mr. Tapper said student leaders would like to target Grade 10 and 11 students, outlining what options are available after high school and what course pathways are required to get to col- lege, university, a skilled trade or an apprenticeship.

Evidence not disclosed on time in Ajax man’s case: defence By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A Superior Court judge has dismissed an appeal by an Ajax man to have criminal charges thrown out on a Charter of Rights challenge. Justice Clair Marchand ruled yesterday that, given the complexity of the case against Christopher Ju- nior Brown, police and the Crown attorney’s office have moved expeditiously in bringing the matter to trial. The judge said that, using the Supreme Court’s histor- ic Askov ruling as a guide, the case before him could not be ruled to have been unreasonably delayed. “We are well within the anticipated time Askov sug- gested it should take an or- dinary case to reach Supe- rior Court,” the judge said. Mr. Brown and three oth- ers were arrested near the scene of a robbery in Pick- ering in May of 2003. He was formally charged with allegations now before the court on Feb. 16 of this year and remains in custody while he is on trial. Defence lawyer Kevin Mitchell-Gill said the un- reasonable delay has not occurred in the time that elapsed since charges were laid early this year; rather, he said Mr. Brown’s rights were infringed upon when police and the Crown failed to act quickly on evidence they’d assembled against him months before his ar- rest. Mr. Mitchell-Gill said Durham cops had received a report from the Centre for Forensic Sciences in the fall of 2003, linking Mr. Brown to DNA evidence found at the scene of a robbery in Toronto. He said police should have acted immediately, rather than waiting several months to lay the charges. “The Crown was in pos- session of the DNA evidence against my client October 10,” he said. “The charges could have been laid Oct. 11 and the disclosure provided to me Oct. 12.” The Crown’s office was also slow to hand over dis- closure on the evidence they’d compiled against Mr. Brown, Mr. Mitchell-Gill said in calling for a stay of proceedings. The 21-year-old Mr. Brown is facing 13 charges, including robbery and ag- gravated assault, in connec- tion with three robberies in To ronto and Pickering in the spring of 2003. He was originally arrested in May of 2003 on suspicion of being involved in numerous rob- beries — at one time he was implicated in more than 25 robberies, his lawyer said — but most charges were withdrawn. It was after po- lice received new DNA evi- dence, including traces of saliva found at the scene of a robbery, that the Crown took another look at Mr. Brown, court heard. The CFS informed Dur- ham police that mate- rial found on the bandana matched DNA belonging to Mr. Brown that was filed with the national DNA data bank after a criminal con- viction several years ago. If charges had been laid earlier and disclosure made quickly, Mr. Brown could have had his day in court much sooner, the defence lawyer said. “The defence is com- pletely handcuffed until it receives disclosure,” he told the judge. “It ought to have and it could have been provided sooner.” Crown attorney Mike Newell said prosecutors told Mr. Mitchell-Gill charg- es were pending against Mr. Brown soon after receipt of the DNA report from the CFS in 2003. The time spent between then and the arrest was invested in preparing evidence, he said. He said police obtained a warrant to get a new blood sample from Mr. Brown in June of 2004 because the Crown is not entitled to rely on the match found in the DNA data bank in court. Mr. Newell said Durham police received confirma- tion of a match between the new sample and the DNA found at the crime scene in August of 2004 and in- formed the defence right away. Court also heard from Jayesh Patel, the clerk who was working alone in a Daisy Mart store on Kingston Road in Pickering around 11 p.m. May 21, 2003, when three masked men burst in and ordered him to freeze. Mr. Patel said he was beaten and pushed around when he reached for the phone in an attempt to call police. He told the prosecu- tor, Mr. Newell, that he ran from the store and flagged down an unmarked Dur- ham Regional Police cruiser, which pulled into the park- ing lot as the three assailants burst from the store behind him. They scattered when they saw the officer with his gun drawn, he said. Under questioning by Mr. Mitchell-Gill, Mr. Patel said he had seen no weapons during the assault. He was also unable to identify Mr. Brown as one of the men who walked into the store that night. The trial continues.

Ten linemen and five trucks have gone to Florida to help re- store power after Hurricane Jeanne roared through parts of the state last month, causing wide- spread damage. Ve r idian Connections execu- tive vice-president Axel Starck said crews are scheduled to be in Florida this week and next. “As of today (Tuesday), Flori- da Power and Light has restored power to the last (areas). But, there’s still a lot of cleaning up to do,” he said. Ve r idian crews are in the Port St. Lucie area, about an hour north of Palm Beach, on the east coast. Crews are from Veridian’s Ajax, Clarington and Belleville depots. Crew members from Ajax are Ron McCosh, Barry Padgett, Brian Gar- diner and Crawford MacFadyen. From Clarington are Jamie Palmer and Frank Luscher. Belleville crew members are Joe Lonsberry, Ron Brennan, Scott Matheson and Peter O’Coin. Florida Power and Light has four million customers, from Miami north to Jacksonville and in the central part of the state. “It’s the largest utility in Flori- da,” Mr. Starck said. “Most of their service area was hit. The central area got most of the damage.” Ve r idian offered to send crews to Florida, he noted. “I contacted down there, through connections we have through the industry.” FPL officials “jumped” at the offer, he stated. “There are 15,000 linemen at work. Normally, their full comple- ment is 2,500,” Mr. Starck said, noting linemen from up and down the east coast and the Midwest of the U.S. and from Canada are helping. Getting people to go to Florida was easy, he noted. “We asked for volunteers and we very quickly got a response. We had to pick names out of a hat,” he stated. The crews are being put up in lodgings provided by the Florida utility, Mr. Starck said. “They’re bused back and forth. Their meals are looked after. It’s almost a mili- tary operation.” The Veridian crews are working 16-hour days, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., he noted. “By the time they get done and back home, they’ll be pretty tired. “It’s an adventure. It’s what line- men do and what linemen live for. They’re enjoying it, but it’s pretty tough slogging.” One crew member is serving as the contact with head office, phoning in daily. “They’re in a residential area, putting backyard service togeth- er,” said Mr. Starck. There are still some individual and isolated areas without power. “With a huge catastrophe, you deal with the 90 per cent and then go around and do the small ones,” Mr. Starck said. He noted photographs of Flor- ida show the damage is exten- sive, in some areas “every pole has been knocked over.” If there’s flooding, the crews have to wait for the water to re- cede. Then there are areas where the ground is soft and “you can’t put poles in. They have to wait.” The 10 linemen represent about one-third of the Veridian line complement, he said. “It’s absolutely a given” having the crews in Florida won’t affect the service Veridian provides its customers, Mr. Starck noted. “Our job is to look after our own customers. We have enough people left behind,” he said. “We’ll stretch out some of our construction work. Work that can’t be postponed, that will be contin- ued. Construction work that’s not critical has been postponed.” Over thirty services at your fingertips (AT THE CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE ALSO) Advertising & Graphic Design Hothouse Communications Group Jeff Gunn R.G.D. 905-426-7036 Air Conditioning & Heating Classic Air Systems Steve Neilly 905-509-8888 Blind Cleaning, Sales & Repairs Rise 'N' Shine Blind Cleaners Doug Wentzel 905 428-7729 Bookkeeping Shoebox Bookkeeping Co.

From this point, you will be considering only the case of Mr. Hall.” The severance was the latest in a series of developments that have made this lengthy trial both unique and trying. Much of the testimony — includ- ing several days during which Mr. J acobson was on the stand testi- fying in his own defence — has been riveting. But there have also been long periods during which jurors have been excluded while lawyers for the defendants and the Crown argued points of law. The dynamic at play among the six lawyers — and the strategy employed by the two defendants — has made for many twists and turns. Both men have implicated the other in the Feb. 4, 2001, slay- ing of Roy Jones, an Ajax man who was shot near his home days be- fore he was to testify in court on robbery charges that could have sent Mr. Jacobson to prison for several years. Mr. Jacobson testified that he and Mr. Hall, high school pals from Pickering, never intended to hurt Mr. Jones; rather, they hatched a plan to menace him with a gun and warn him not to testify; but the plan went wrong and shots rang out, he told the court. Mr. Jacobson said he was stand- ing look-out when Mr. Hall chased Mr. Jones down and shot him sev- eral times. Mr. Hall however, said he was nowhere near the scene of the shooting, insisting he was home in Brantford watching a football game. He said tapes intro- duced by the Crown that showed him boasting to undercover of- ficers that he had been the brains behind the plot to kill Mr. Jones were all lies. He said he told the lies to impress the undercover Durham cops, whom he had been led to believe were high-placed hoods who could help advance his criminal career. Testifying in his own defence, Mr. Hall said he’d been told that Mr. Jacobson and two members of a Scarborough street gang am- bushed Mr. Jones. The Crown is advancing a theo- ry that Mr. Hall and Mr. Jacobson were in cahoots on the plot to murder Mr. Jones from the start; Mr. Murray contends that Mr. Ja- cobson was the shooter, while Mr. Hall waited to drive him away from the crime scene. Justice Ferguson reminded the jurors Wednesday that, despite the months of testimony they’ve heard, from this point on they must consider only evidence rel- evant in deciding Mr. Hall’s guilt or innocence. “As you know, there is evidence before you already which cannot be used in any way to decide the case against Mr. Hall,” the judge said. He said he will provide in- structions on what jurors can con- sider and what they must disregard before they begin deliberations. “You will simply ignore the evidence which is not admissible against him.” Trial has been highlighted by many twists and turns ✦ Trial from page 1 Roy Jones P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 8, 2004 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Martin walks a tightrope with Throne Speech Paul Martin couldn’t really be faulted for playing it safe. After all, the Liberals’ first Throne Speech on Tuesday as a minority government needed to be one that would keep the wolves at bay. It didn’t succeed, though, as the opposition party leaders left Parliament saying more could have been done by Martin and Co. It was the same litany of tired old complaints from the men and women who sit across the way from the Prime Minister. However, this time they have more of a say in what the future holds for the Liberals. It even led to speculation the government would be toppled by a vote of no confidence last night, but was thankfully avoid- ed. Mr. Martin deserves credit but it must be kept in mind that other parties have claimed to have everything on an even keel only to have the house of cards collapse and errors exposed upon losing power. Perhaps, the Federal Liberals are headed down the same path with this shaky minority government. This minority Parliament, as Governor General Adrienne Clarkson pointed out in the Throne Speech, must have all parties working together for the good of all Canadians. But it looks like the support will be lukewarm at best — not that Canadians expect anything else at this point in history. This latest series of promises by the federal government reads like an old grocery list. We’ve heard the Liberals prom- ise in the past that they would do more for Canadians, and over the years it has become apparent their promises have been hollow at best. Every Canadian can be hopeful that the Liberals will come through for cities and towns with appro- priate infrastructure funding through the provision of gas-tax revenues. Everyone knows that every municipality in Durham needs help with roads, transit, clean water and sewers. From Scugog to Clarington to Ajax, it’s obvious the money from a gas-tax transfer would be a move in the right direction and welcomed with open wallets. It’s encouraging to see the Liberals are finally getting seri- ous about tackling the beast that is medicare. The 10-year plan to close the “Romanow Gap” with substantial and consis- tent funding must reach the goals and targets the government establishes or we won’t be any further ahead. Good for Mr. Martin and Co. for setting benchmarks, which remarkably is the first time this has happened. And that alone is reason for optimism. Councillors have themselves to blame on Seaton complaints To the editor: Re: ‘Seaton struggles at Region,’ Oct. 1. So local councillors are “fed up” because the regional chairman didn’t let them know that an important announce- ment was to be made on Seaton. And, to add insult to injury, the chairman didn’t even see the need to alert his associates that the government had “completed the land swap.” But why should our councillors be fed up or show any other emotion? They have only themselves to blame, as they elected the current chairman. His own constituents voted him out of office but Durham council put a non-elected person into the most important, highest profile, and a high- paying position with the Region. Maybe, just maybe, by the time the next municipal election comes around, the position of regional chairman will have become an elected position, like that of regional councillor. Angela M.

But overlooking trouble at high school only makes things worse While I plan to move to Durham soon, I have lived my entire life (save for the first two or three months) in Scarborough. Something happens when you tell peo- ple you’re from Scarborough. Quite often they feel sorry for you, imagining you have to dodge bullets every night. Work- ing with a bunch of journalists, you can imagine the ribbing I get when there’s a shooting or what not in my beloved city, which I defend at every opportunity. I enjoy coming to work and sharing some of the more pleasant aspects of the place with my colleagues, knowing they will respond with good-natured jokes. I even have a little motto - This too, is Scarborough - that I use after describing a particular vignette. See, I know Scar- borough can be a violent place; there’s no denying it. But I also know there’s no get- ting rid of the common perception that it occurs all over, all the time, overshadow- ing other aspects of Scarborough. I think it must be similar for a lot of Pickering High School students and staff members. It has a reputation, partially earned, for violence and trouble, but there’s more to the story. I’ve met some wonderful students there and think prin- cipal Al Monks does a great job under what are often trying circumstances. It’s a school in need of major upgrades or a rebuild, as many school advocates, in- cluding student Amanda Canavan, have told the board of trustees. Ms. Canavan, now a student trustee at the Durham District School Board, said something else at Monday’s stand- ing committee meeting. She said since the start of the year “I’ve never seen it so bad,” with several fights occurring every day. After the meeting, board chairwom- an Elizabeth Roy and Ajax Trustee Mari- lyn Crawford had a talk with her. A senior staff member, without saying it, hoped I wouldn’t print Ms. Canavan’s remarks, saying she was a new student trustee and suggesting she might be incorrect. I called the school the next day and Mr. Monks was away for a couple of days. Vice-principal Joy Barratt, to her credit, admitted it’s been “a bit of a rocky start” to the year, but that staff members are working on the problem and believe they have made an impact. It’s tough to erase a perception once it takes hold, in Scarborough or at Picker- ing High School. Overlooking trouble when it occurs, or trying to keep it under wraps, often only makes things worse.

Hard to erase perceptions Mike Ruta staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com But Holland says it’s a followup to election promises By Danielle Milley Staff Writer OTTAWA - Opposition MPs were disappointed by a throne speech they called more of the same, while Durham’s newest Liberal MP said it covered promises made during the campaign. For Conserva- tive MP Bev Oda (Durham), Tues- day’s speech was deja vu. She criti- cized it for not bringing forth any concrete plans and repeat- ing commitments the Liberals have made before. “The throne speech is a continuation that the Liberals make a lot of promises; they don’t ful- fil their promises and that’s why you can get a throne speech that just is a re- hash or recycling of former throne speeches or election promises,” she said. “There is not one plan, articulated plan given in (Tuesday’s) throne speech so there- fore we have to make sure that the promises made are going to be delivered.” She did say the concepts laid out by in the throne speech read by Governor General Adrienne Clark- son - including a strong economy, health care, and help for Canada’s cities and communities - were ones Canadians want. “I am disappointed that they were all ideas and con- cepts that all Canadians agree on but they were all ideas that we’d heard be- fore,” she said. “After two throne speeches we could expect some details, some- thing more robust.” Fellow Conservative MP Dr. Colin Carrie (Oshawa) felt the same. “I was disappointed. I was hoping it would address some of Osha- wa’s concerns, such as environ- mental cleanup or an auto strat- egy implementa- tion,” he said. “I wanted to hear more specifics for health care.” He went on to call the speech, which opened the 38th session of Parliament, “fluff. “He (Prime Minister Paul Martin) just did a throne speech five months ago and it is much the same thing,” he said. However, Dr. Carrie is op- timistic the nature of Par- liament this time around means the government will follow through on the ideas laid out in the speech. “I’m hoping because it is a minority government that we’ll be able to hold him accountable to what is in there,” he said. Liberal MP Mark Holland (Ajax-Pickering) agreed there weren’t a lot of sur- prises in the speech, but thinks that’s a positive sign. “The story of the throne speech was repeating what we said in the election and the concerns that we set and people voted for, is the (course) we are trying to navigate,” he said. “I don’t think there was a lot of surprises in the throne speech and I think that’s good. People are expect- ing us to keep our commit- ments.” There were several areas in particular he was pleased to hear mentioned. “When you take a look at the money that has been put into health care as part of the health accord that was reached at the first ministers meeting and the promise to continue to bring down wait times, that was important, and you see the renewed commitment to early childhood educa- tion,” he said. “There was a very strong comment on the environment, and I was particularly pleased about that around sustainability in the environment.” Locally he said the part that is going to affect resi- dents of Ajax and Pickering the most is the new deal for cities. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 8, 2004 PAGE 7 A/P I t ’s A l m o s t T i m e Pickering Corporate, Community & Service Groups download: www.cityofpickering.com/greatevents Pick up Entry forms at Pickering Rec Complex OR Theme: Date: November 13th 2004 NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES Santa Claus Parade Christmas is a Family Time LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL PAYDAY!

Must serve at least three more months for abusing adopted sons BY CHRIS HALL Staff Writer DURHAM – A former Blackstock couple sentenced to nine months in prison for abusing their two adopted sons over a period of 13 years have both been denied early parole. In their reports, Ontario Parole and Early Release Board officials claimed after separate hearings on Sept. 23 that both Mr. and Mrs. Smith (the couple cannot be named to protect the identity of the abused boys) were a “risk to society by re-offending” and stat- ed that neither has accepted full responsibility for their actions and that the welfare of the two abused children -- now aged 17 and 18 -- was most important of all. In its decision regarding Mrs. Smith, the Board noted she has to date abided by all condi- tions imposed by Justice Donald Halikowski when he sentenced the couple on July 5 in Oshawa to nine months in jail. She has also “demonstrated re- morse, guilt and shame concern- ing the abusive nature of your ac- tions towards the young victims of this crime. However, you tend to rational- ize your behaviour and shift some of the blame on to others,” wrote Board officials in their report on Mrs. Smith, 43. “Although the risk to re-offend may be minimal, the Board can- not overlook the seriousness and nature of the offenses... and we be- lieve a granting of parole may have a detrimental emotional impact on the recovery of the victims.” According to the Board, Mr. Smith expressed “remorse for yourself and the actions for which you are incarcerated” during his parole hearing, but also continued to “minimize the consequences of your behaviour and focus on the problem the victims were to you.” The Board also noted Mr. Smith has not presented any plan to ac- cess counselling, as suggested by Justice Halikowski, and that the 52-year-old man has admitted to “an anger management issue for which you present no plan to seek counselling.” Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith be- came eligible for early parole on Oct. 3 after serving one-third of their sentences. Their hearings were held on Sept. 23 at their respective incar- ceration institutions -- hers at the Vanier Centre for Women in Mil- ton, his at the Maplehurst Correc- tion Complex. The couple each pleaded guilty in January to three counts of forc- ible confinement, three counts of assault with a weapon and three counts of failing to provide the necessaries of life. As a result, the pair was ordered to serve concurrent nine-month sentences for the assault and con- finement charges. They will also serve a concurrent one-month sentence for failing to provide the necessaries of life for offering the boys no water while keeping them tethered or caged and for having no smoke alarm in their room. While their next possible dis- charge date is Jan. 4, 2005 -- or they can be released outright on April 4, 2005 -- the couple may find themselves incarcerated for a longer term if the Ontario Court of Appeal sees fit to increase their sentences during an Oct. 15 hear- ing in Toronto. Public outrage followed the July sentencing and, as a result, the Ontario Attorney General agreed to review the case. It was subse- quently allowed to proceed to the appeal court. The two adopted boys, who are Mrs. Smith’s biological nephews, were subjected to more than 13 years of abuse, which included being held captive in dog cages, locked in their rooms and beaten, court heard during months of tes- timony.

Once you are saved by Jesus all of your troubles go away. All they want is for me to join their little social club and give them my money. The bible is just an outdated book of rules that don’t apply because society has evolved. I am not good enough to go to church with all those people who are leading perfect lives. These things are all common perceptions that people have of the church. For years the church in general has not done a very good job about managing the perception of how God’s people are viewed. In this letter I would like to share with you some of what I have learned concerning these things from my perspective as a fairly new Christian. The word church has nothing to do with a building it is a word describing the people. Christians are people who admit that they are flawed, are sinners and need God. Born Again is when a person asks the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, repents, and invites God’s Spirit to come and live inside of them. Church people make mistakes; they are not perfect in fact far from it. In most cases we could be considered a peculiar people. Remember we are people who have admitted to be flawed and need the help of the Lord. The good news is He promises to help us when we call upon Him and He keeps His promises, every one. When a person gets saved all their problems do not go away, rather they are given the opportunity to start again and try to do things right. The Lord places His hands upon us like a potter places his hand on clay and starts to shape it. When we walk according to his will we will still have troubles but they will be opportunities to do things right. I have not found the bible to be outdated, irrelevant or a book of rules. Instead it is a collection of writings containing the infinite wisdom of God that shows humans for what we are and does not hide anything. The bible essentially is a love letter from a Father who loves His children (that’s everybody) and only wants the best for us. At Durham Christian Fellowship I believe you will find something different. We are a small church that loves the Lord, we worship and enjoy Him and want to serve. There is no dress code and yes everybody is welcome. We do not pass a plate around asking for your money we simply trust the Lord to provide. We meet Sunday mornings at 10:30am in the gymnasium of Pickering Christian School at 162 Rossland Road just east of Harwood. We also have various things going on during the week where we try to help people. If you have need, let us know and we will try to help you. Our church phone number is 905-831-8596. Our mission statement is to equip the church, extend the Kingdom of God and bless the community. In conclusion, Christianity is not a Sunday tradition. I have found it to be the most exciting adventure that anyone could embark upon and it is ultimately satisfying. Jeff Ramsperger Sinner at large, undeservingly saved by grace. Dr. Greg Baker, Pastor FaithWay Baptist Church, Ajax THE BLESSING OF ADVERSITY James 1:2-4 “…count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” The Word of God teaches us that need to ACCEPT and VALUE ADVERSITY as a gift from God! James was a first century servant of God who was acquainted with adversity and affliction! He instructs us in coming to know that this is part of the strengthening process for men and women of God! That is why we are he commands us to “count it all joy!” How can one count it all joy when they are going through personal trials that involve their family, finances, failures, friends or even an uncertain future? The only way is if one will understand the purpose of adversity. •There are three different, but interrelated, elements in the way trials affect one’s faith and growth! •1st – “trying of your faith” and it is the source of the 2nd , which is “patience.” The second is the source of the 3rd “being perfect and entire” • Each segment is an integral part of the purpose for which trials come. This all means that God designs trials to: 1. Prove the genuineness of one’s faith! When faith is genuine, it flourishes and does not fold in times of testing! 2. Promote the threshold of one’s endurance. That is where patience comes into the picture. 3. Progress the maturity process in our lives. God doesn’t want us to be miserable but He does want us to be mature! At this thanksgiving time of year, we ought to change our prayers from deliverance from these trials to having faith and confidence that God will help us mature in the trial! Then we can appreciate the truth that adversity is a gift from God for our good!

I asked him, “What is the reason you want to buy a new house? Is there some- thing wrong with the house you live in now? It’s only 15 years old!” His friend told him, “I’m tired of this house. It looks ugly. In winter it’s too cold and in summer it’s too hot.” Felix then asked his good friend. “But are there any good things about your house?” His friend thought for a moment and replied, “Well yes I suppose. The location is good. I like the neighbour- hood. It’s big enough for my family and it’s close to my work.” So Felix suggested, “Instead of buying a new house, why not invest some money in the one you have now?” So they both looked at how much it would cost to move. Well there’s the real estate fees, lawyers fees, mov- ing expenses, the list was long and it came to a lot of money. “We took into consider- ation all of the details and how much it would cost to renovate the house,” said Felix. “In the end it made more sense to stay and make improvements.” Of course Felix being the owner of Aurora Windows and Doors meant he knew a little something about how much better his friend’s home would look and the money he would save by having new doors and windows installed. “My friend chose beau- tiful new windows, all made right here in Canada and with LOE glass for the best in ener- gy efficiency,” says Felix. “This glass acts like a mirror meaning the heat stays inside in winter and outside in the summer. This means savings in both heating and aircondi- tioning costs and with the prices rising for gas, oil and electricity, that’s important.” Felix’s friend also had him install new patio doors and and new front door. Now his home doesn’t look ugly anymore. In fact it looks great. If you want your home to look great and save money at the same time call Aurora Windows and Doors at (905) 571-3226. You can choose from more than 500 designs of glass for your door. All of Aurora’s Windows and Doors are Canadian made.

You may think your home is in top condition, but there are ways to make potential buyers drool over your property. And since you want top dollar, a little sprucing up could go a long way. The best way to determine what your home might need is to consult the experts. Call several real estate agents and ask them to view your home and give you some advice. They look at homes all day long and can tell you exactly where your house excels and where there’s room for improvement. You don’t need to sign a contract in order to get their advice either. Most will advise you freely in hopes that you’ll remember them when you are ready to put your property on the market. The first thing potential buyers see is the outside of your home: the exterior paint, siding, roof, windows, entryway and driveway. By inspecting your home, you may notice areas in need of repair. Walk around the outside of your home and examine it objectively as if you were a buyer-be critical. Is the paint chipping? Do the bricks need tuckpointing? How does the roof look? Are any shingles missing? Are there any broken or cracked windows on the house? What condition are the entryway and driveway in? You may use your back door everyday, but buyers will be looking at the front door. If your storm door is damaged, replace it. The driveway takes up a good portion of the front view of most homes. If it’s in good repair, most buyers won’t notice it, but a cracked and crumbling driveway will stick out like a sore thumb and turn buyers off. A crumbling driveway is an indication of a home that has not been well maintained and could prompt low offers. In order to make agood first impression, fix or replace it. A good rule of thumb to remember for the exterior is: fix what is broken and clean what is not. Home buyers list dirt as the biggest turnoff. Yo u’ll want to show your home to potential buyers in the best light. The easiest and least expensive way to improve any home is to clean it and paint it inside and out. Inside, nothing spruces up a home quicker than a coat of paint and clean carpets. When painting, use neutral colors, such as white or cream, and don’t overlook ceilings. Although ceilings don’t get scuffed up, they do collect dirt which makes the room look darker. And don’t paint natural wood trim.Just clean it with a good wood cleaner to give it a high-gloss finish. Pay particular attention when painting the kitchen and bathrooms; buyers look very closely at these two areas. Use a high-gloss paint that’s easy to clean. Outside, give the front door two coats of paint. Potential buyers will be seeing it up close. All of these ideas will make your home more marketable, but don’t go overboard and think you have to remodel your home. Preparing your home for sale Continued on next page durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 8, 2004 PAGE 21 A/P TO ADVERTISE IN HOME SWEET HOME CALL CHRISTIAN AT 905-683-5110 Experts say you won’t get a dollar for dollar return on y our investment. Spending money on hidden areas, such as new wiring or a new furnace, won’t impress buyers. Fix potential hidden area problems, but don’t replace them. P lan wisely and put your dollars where they’ll work the hardest. Small interior renovations can make a big difference. Replace outdated lighting fixtures with modern ones. Install updated plumbing fixtures in the bathroom and kitchen. If the kitchen really needs work, a small investment of say $10,000 will bring a better return than a totally new $50,000 renovation. Replace worn or stained carpets, especially in the major living areas. Pick a neutral color that shows well. It may also show dirt easily, but your main concern is that it will bring a luxurious and elegant feeling that potential buyers will notice. Make sure your improvements stay within the norm for your neighborhood. If you live in a neighborhood where $100/sq. ft. carpeting is in every home, don’t install $35/sq. ft. carpeting. Once the cosmetics are completed, tackle the clutter. Pack up everything you don’t absolutely need. One half of everything in each closet should be removed to make the closets look bigger. Furniture that is non-essential can be put into storage to make rooms look larger. Clean out the garage, basement and attic, and store off-season items at another location. You want your home to appear large and airy, neat and orderly. Remember, potential buyers will be looking in drawers, cabinets and closets, so put your best foot forward by being prepared. Again, let the experts guide you when making improvements. Since you’ll only get one chance to make a good first impression, take the time and effort to dress up your home before putting it up for sale.

Health Canada says that for an optimum home environment,indoor humidity should be between 30 to 55 percent, but homeowners often express difficulty reaching even 20 percent before condensation appears on windows. The root cause of condensation is rarely the home environment however. The problem is often in the structure of the window itself, so the solution depends on an upgrade. Today, window science has mastered indoor climate control, energy conservation and occupant health. The technology is at its best when windows are able to maintain a constant thermal balance between the temperatures indoors and out. This is done by the elimination of highly conductive metal materials, says Edgetech, an industry leader in the development of ‘health smart’ windows. W hen shopping, be sure to examine the spacer edging between the glass panes and at the perimeter edge. For this, Edgetech has developed the Super Spacer, which utilizes the superior insulation properties of thermo-set rubber made from polymer structural foam.

Conference aims for academic success AJAX - Learn and share new knowl- edge at a special seminar exploring academic success for African-Cana- dian youth next week. It Takes A Village presents ‘Small Steps and Giant Leaps; Guiding Af- rican Canadian Youth to Academic Success,’ a seminar on Saturday, Oct. 16. The community event is held to bring teachers, parents, and students of African-Canadian decent together, and to increase parental awareness and knowledge, encouraging active participation and involvement. The seminar addresses several top- ics, including hip hop and literacy, financing post-secondary education, volunteerism and understanding the emotional intelligence of children. The event features speakers, educa- tors and award-winning community activists to encourage and inspire. “There has never been a conference quite like this in southern Ontario that is so focused on making good parents even better within the African-Cana- dian community,” says Yaa Shange, executive director of It Takes a Village Family Resource Centre. The event is at Pickering High School, 180 Church St. N., from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call Arlene Lewis at 905-427-7511 ext. 3. Beefing up supplies essential this year By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING - After a bare sum- mer, the Thanksgiving drive is more important than ever to St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Food Bank. “Donations were much lower this year,” said executive director Rae Coulter. “We were all crying in the summer because our shelves were bare.” Ms. Coulter said the situation at the local food bank, which serves Ajax and Pickering, is not unique. Other GTA food banks, including the Daily Bread Food Bank in To- ronto, are also in desperate need. The tides were starting to turn by late last week as the traditional Thanksgiving drive got underway. “It’s starting to come in now and it was good because we were done,” she said. The food bank was running so low during the summer, some of its scarce resources had to be spent to buy essentials such as cereal. “This year has been the worst for cereal, peanut butter, tin fruit, and pork and beans. In previous years we’ve had so much pork and beans we couldn’t give it away and now we can’t keep up,” Ms. Coulter said. The situation has worsened this year as donations decreased and the number of users increased, as well Ms. Coulter said when prices of items such as cereal go up it makes it harder for people to make donations. As the donations come in the next week or so the food bank is going to know what kind of shape it is in. “We count on this food drive and Christmas to get us through to the summer,” she said. When Ms. Coulter began vol- unteering at the food bank a couple of years ago she thought it would serve its purpose but that it wouldn’t be needed after a few years. She says she now knows how wrong that thought was as the need continues to rise. Donations can be dropped off at the St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Anglican Church, Pickering fire halls, Pick- ering grocery stores, and in Ajax at IGA or Sobeys. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 8, 2004 PAGE 25 A/P Delivering for the Future What do you call someone who runs their own business, braves summer heat and the winter chill, is on the job in the rain, snow and sleet, is always cheerful and courteous and who brings the product right to your door every time without fail while also trying to conquer the intricacies of math, science and auditioning for the first-chair saxophone in the school band?

We are currently prospecting for Carriers in the following areas: *Streets listed not necessarily available With supplies low, St. Paul’s food bank needs Thanksgiving Drive donations Donations sought through October DURHAM – Demand is up and donations are desperately needed. The Ajax-Pickering Salvation Army food bank urgently needs food, says Dick Crosby. The director of the food bank says demand is “up 40 per cent this year over last year in the same nine months. I’m seeing an average of 90 families and 260 people each month. It’s roughly even, children to adults.” He speculates there are two rea- sons for the increased demand. “I don’t know if it’s because we’ve made ourselves more avail- able. There are more residents and more need in the area. It’s prob- ably a bit of both,” he says. The bank needs any type of non- perishable food, but it’s especially low in tea, coffee and milk prod- ucts, he adds. “Dried milk is always welcome.” The army is running its annual Thanksgiving food drive during October, Mr. Crosby says. Bins for donations are in Ajax at the Loblaws store at Hwy. 2, just west of Harwood Avenue, the Dominion store on Westney Road North, the No Frills outlet at Bayly Street and Monarch Avenue, the Food Basics in the Harwood Shop- ping Centre, the Giant Tiger at Westney Road and Lake Driveway, and at Ajax fire halls. Food can also be left at the Sal- vation Army Family Services Cen- tre, 37 Kings Cres., Ajax. For more information, call 905- 427-7123.

Tr a de show brings businesses together Q: How would you solve the concerns of residents regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: The current nuclear warning plan is about saving money, not lives. Old-style sirens on 50-foot towers are being suggested as a cheap way to provide warning. We must stop making decisions based on project budgets and lis- ten to our residents. Cur- rently available technolo- gies offer many options in providing sufficient warn- ing without encroaching on the rights of local prop- erty owners or devaluating their properties. A working group with full stakeholder representation is critical to working out a strategy that meets everyone’s need. Success can be achieved quickly once we decide to find the right system - in- stead of the cheapest. Q: What is the single most impor- tant issue facing Ward 2? A: We need a new strategic financial plan that allows us to provide a flour- ishing future for our city. Our resi- dents cannot af- ford to continue paying the massive tax increases of the last four years. In the absence of a comprehensive and bal- anced financial plan, the City is simply moving from crisis to crisis. Our precious tax dollars are wasted on pet proj- ects and political priori- ties, instead of meeting the needs of our city and its neighbourhoods. We have many needs in Pickering, and in Ward 2, but none will be addressed properly until we get our financial house in order. Q: Why should Wa rd 2 residents vote for you? There is no substitution for experi- ence. Council is currently one third of the way through its term of office. The decisions made in the next few months will shape the future of our city, and Ward 2, for years to come. The challenges that face our city are great and we just cannot afford to elect a councillor who needs time to learn the ropes. Seasoned judgment that is the result of years of experience representing Ward 2 is the most impor- tant attribute that I bring to the table. Now is not the time for ‘on-the-job’ training.

P PAGE 28 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 8, 2004 durhamregion.com Q: How would you solve the concerns of residents regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: I would bring forth a motion to council to re- open the implementation plans of the Public Alert- ing System and establish an open forum for public discussion. Some people may be- lieve this is a ‘NIMBY’ (not in my backyard) issue, but it does not impact Ward 2 or Pickering alone. It stig- matizes all of Durham Re- gion as being an undesir- able place to live. Pickering needs to take a strong stance at the re- gional level and engage the governing and regula- tory bodies to find alterna- tive solutions to satisfy the regulations set forth by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and the Province. Q: What is the single most im- p ortant issue facing Ward 2? A: From my many discus- sions with fellow residents, traffic and its related problems have been re- peatedly identified, mak- ing it the number-one issue. Ward 2 needs con- trolled flows through and from residential streets on to arterial routes allowing traffic to move expediently and safely throughout the city and to ease the twice- daily commute for those who travel to work outside of Pickering. Speeding and squealing tires, are also a prob- lem, along with other moving traffic viola- tions. No one seems to stop at stop signs - traf- fic laws must be rigidly enforced through ‘zero tolerance’. These are the messages coming to me loud and clear. Q: Why should Ward 2 residents vote for you? A: Pickering needs strong representation to guide its future development. Fresh ideas are needed to aug- ment the experience of the sitting members. I am a team contributor with the tenacity to influence the decision process, and have demonstrated major suc- cesses in extremely chal- lenging business situa- tions. I am a person of ex- emplary integrity with an unmatched record of volunteerism in a variety of community activities throughout my 34 years in Durham. A sincere desire to serve my community combined with my business back- ground and past volunteer involvement makes me the best person to represent Ward 2. Q: How would you solve the concerns of residents regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: We live close to the nuclear plant (Antonio St. in Bay Ridges) and have never felt fearful of it. The more we can learn about nu- clear energy the more confidence we will have that it is safe. Espe- cially the Ca- nadian system. I would like more debate about the stress we could be creating by indicating that the system could be unstable enough to require an alert system. Nuclear is a safer pro- ducer of power than past methods, but we should be spending more time on alternatives such as wind and solar, along with con- servation which should be foremost. Q: What is the single most important issue fac- ing Ward 2? A: Usually the one that you are dealing with at the moment. However, my immediate concerns are costs and taxes so I would concentrate on fis- cal responsibility. It is no secret that (all) taxes are too high. I am just as con- cerned about our neigh- bourhoods losing some of their attractiveness: too many cars and not enough lawns. Development and its affects, and are the im- pacts worth the revenues? Pick- ering is a super combination of good neighbour- hoods, a great and close rural space, and an ex- cellent business community. This is our home. Q: Why should Wa rd 2 residents vote for you? A: I’ve been elected three times in the last seven years as a public school board trustee representing Pick- ering, including the con- stituents of Ward 2. It is an easy transition from elect- ed representative (trustee) to City councillor. We both advocate for our immedi- ate constituents, but make decisions affecting all the stakeholders. Many of the problems and solutions are similar because they involve the same residents. I bring experience in work- ing with a large staff and 10 other elected trustees. I always try to bring a differ- ent perspective to the table to ensure proper delibera- tion. Honesty and integrity are the reputation I have worked for.

Christy Chase/ News Advertiser photo Nice start to a career in music DURHAM – Stephanie Foster of Pickering, centre, was named the first Jim Souch Music Award winner recently, for the Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra. She accepted the award from Margaret Greenley, chairwoman of the ODSO awards committee, and Marco Parisotto, ODSO conductor and music director. The award is valued at $500. Jim Souch is a past president of the symphony board, and member of the board for several years. The award is pre- sented annually to a resident of Durham Region who graduates from secondary school and has been accepted into a music degree program at a Canadian University or diploma program at an Ontario college. The winner of the award is selected on the basis of musical and academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, the school’s recommen- dation, financial need and the candidate’s career plans to enter a music education course at a Canadian university or college. Foster, a graduate of Pine Ridge Secondary School, is at McMaster University in music studies. While at- tending Pine Ridge Secondary School, she completed her Grade 8 piano, and taught and tutored students at various levels. She served as an accompanist in the musical theatre class and accompanied many of the school’s choirs. Juno discussion on writers’ circle agenda DURHAM – Get to know your Juno history this weekend.

[ Soccer ] Pickering stars shine at Cosmos tournament PICKERING — The Pickering boys’ under-10 all-star soccer team put in some extra work to secure the title at the recent North York Cosmos Invitational tournament. Pickering needed penalty kicks to finally defeat the East York all- stars in the championship game after regulation time ended 3-3. Nicholas Gucciardi scored two goals, with a single to Marcus Parisi. Af ter two five-minute golden goal overtime halves, the score was still tied, necessitating a shootout. Goal- keeper Dalton Kingston made the first save, with Jacob Arnts putting his shot through the five hole. After three shots by each team, Sami Nehme delivered the decisive goal to end the game in Pickering’s favour. Pickering defeated North Scar- borough 2-0 in the semifinals, with Gucciardi scoring his ninth goal of the tournament. Cameron Fleming netted his first goal of his all-star career. Midfielders Matthew Woitzik, Andrew Polley and Gucciardi con- trolled the play in the middle and tough defensive play by Bradley Kotsopoulos, Arnts and Nehme helped Kingston earn the shutout. The team breezed through the round-robin games, winning 3-1 over the North York Hearts, 7-2 over Newmarket and 5-3 over the host North York Cosmos. Gucciardi scored eight goals, while others came from Polley, Ryan Hickey, Mikey Giardino, Daniel Caporusso, Arnts and Parisi. Adam Whitehead coaches the team. Sports Briefs OCTOBER 8, 2004 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Pickering Panthers’ defenceman John Soames is hooked from behind by Oshawa Legionaires’ Joel Weber during OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at Whitby’s McKinney Arena on Tuesday night. The Panthers won 5-2. The contest was moved from the Oshawa Civic Auditorium after problems arose with that arena’s ice surface. Big weekend may be telltale for Panthers PICKERING — This weekend will be a telling one for the Picker- ing Panthers and their quest to be among the upper echelon teams in the league. The Panthers play tonight (Fri- day) at the Pickering Recreation Complex against the Wexford Raiders (7-2-1-0, second in the South Conference). Game time is 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Pan- thers are also at the complex, fac- ing the Vaughan Vipers (3-5-0-1, seventh in South) at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers finish the week- end Sunday on the road in Toron- to against the St. Michael’s Buzz- ers (9-1-0-0, first in South) at St. Michael’s Arena at 7 p.m. Panthers head coach John Winder says he’s welcoming the games, especially the ones against Wexford and St. Mike’s which, in the early going, have cemented themselves as the teams to beat within the OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s South Conference. “It’s definitely the biggest week- end coming up. It will be a telling weekend,” agreed Winder. “I’m kind of looking forward to see how the boys perform against the top teams.” The Panthers will, however, go into battle without three key per- formers who aren’t expected to dress for the weekend. Richard Schofield (concus- sion), John Scrymgeour (upper body) and Danny Sul- livan (back spasms) didn’t play in Tuesday’s tilt with the Oshawa Legionaires. Schofield is definitely out, while Scrymgeour and Sullivan are questionable for the weekend. “I’m not expecting a whole lot because of the injuries we have to take care of,” says Winder. “We got a little banged up in Couchiching (Sunday), but I know there are other teams in the same boat as us (with injuries).” The Panthers enter the week- end on a winning note, posting a 5-2 victory over the Legionaires in a game at the new McKinney arena in north Whitby. The game was supposed to be played at the Oshawa Civic Audi- torium, but problems with the ice surface forced the contest to be moved. After enduring an all-out Os- hawa assault in the opening min- utes and giving up the first goal of the game, the Panthers (6-3-0-1, fifth in South) settled down in the remainder of the period. Pickering scored three unanswered markers for a 3-1 lead at the end of 20 min- utes. Oshawa cut the deficit to 3-2 early in the second period, but the Panthers scored two more in the second and then shut down the Legionaires to record the vic- tory, which followed a 4-2 loss to the North Conference’s Terriers on Sunday. Defenceman John Soames scored twice in the contest. Derek Lynden, who’s been on a scoring tear of late, added his 10th of the season. Cody Smith and call-up Kyle Ramsay, with his first goal at the junior ‘A’ level, also scored for the Panthers. Soames, says Winder, has con- tinued to grow in a Panthers’ uniform after being acquired in training camp from the Lindsay Muskies. “He just keeps playing better and better as the season goes on,” says Winder. “He has a very good read on the play and he knows when to jump in and when not to.” He also praised the work of Lyn- den who continues to produce on a nightly basis for the Panthers. Lynden leads the team in scoring with 10 goals and five assists in 10 games. “He came into the season with a great attitude and he’s always had a great work ethic. He does ev- erything for us –– penalty killing, power play and his regular shift. I’m proud of the way he’s played,” says Winder. Bryan Schermele earned the win in net, facing 33 shots. It was the second win for the Panthers in the season series with Oshawa. The loss drops the struggling Legionaires to 1-7-0-1, eighth in the South Conference.

LINDSAY - In moving memory of my husband Jim.. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, I feel again the bitter blow, That never should have came. Each morning when I awake, I know that you are gone, No one knows the heartache As I try to carry on. My heart still aches with sadness, Secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you Jim No one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill, In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. They say time heals everything, But I know that isn't so, Because it hurts as much today, As it did 7 years ago. Always loved and sadly missed, Yo ur loving wife Annie ~ GET APPROVED ~ Fee l i ng l i m i t e d b e c a u se o f : • NO CREDIT • BAD CREDIT • COLLECTIONS • BANKRUPTCY • DIVORCES • REFUSED BY BANK C a l l D e rr i ck 9 0 5 -4 2 6 -0 0 5 1 Looking for a second chance at rebuilding your credit?
