Pickering wants material recovery facility here By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham staff has thrown a wrench into the plan to have Pickering be the home of an integrated waste management facility. Staff has recommended the proposal from Metro Munici- pal Recycling Services Inc. as the preferred one to build and operate a new Durham Region Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for recyclables in Whitby. It’s a recommendation Pickering Re- gional Councillor Rick Johnson disagrees with. “I can’t understand why staff went this route,” he said in an interview May 4. At the May 1 Pickering man- agement forum meeting he said staff had “fumbled” in coming to this recommendation. He believes it is more efficient and economically responsible to go with a proposal put forward by Miller Waste, which has the con- tract to collect Durham’s organic waste starting July 1, because the same truck will be used to pick up recycling and organic waste. “When you’re hauling trucks to Whitby to drop off one type Re g ion could be having second thoughts Police lay fraud charges against Pickering councillor By Danielle Milley and Crystal Crimi Staff Writers PICKERING — A Pickering councillor has been charged with fraud and breach of trust by a public officer. Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner was charged Tuesday with various fraud-related offences after City officials filed a report with Dur- ham Regional Police following an internal review. “I welcome the opportunity to clear my name and reputation from these groundless and mali- cious allegations,” Coun. Brenner said, reading from a prepared statement at a press conference in front of Pickering council chambers Wednesday afternoon. Police allege he submitted false documents to justify reimburse- ment claims for clerical services totalling $5,400 over a two-year period in 1999 and 2000. Accord- ing to police, at the time of the alleged offences, a City policy al- lowed councillors to pay an out- side agency for clerical services and be repaid by submitting in- voices and receipts. “The City officials did bring the discrepancies to our attention,” said Sergeant Paul McCurbin, adding based on those, police Brenner vows ‘to clear my reputation’ ✦ See Councillor, Page 5 ✦ See Johnson, Page 4 For more on this story ON THE TRAIL FOR OTTAWA A.J.

With no agreement dur- ing a May 1 negotiation ses- sion between the Durham District School Board and the Elementary Te achers’ Fed- eration of On- tario occasional teachers’ local, elementary sup- ply teachers are scheduled to walk off the job on Monday May 8. “There are still a number of outstanding issues,” said Oshawa Trustee Mike Bar- rett, the board’s chairman. The Durham local is still looking for higher wages, benefits, priority hiring for full-time and long-term positions, and timetable improvements, said Ingrid Thompson, president of the Durham local, which has about 800 members. “There’s absolutely no reason for the Durham District School Board not to be coming forth with the same thing 28 other locals in the province have,” said Ms. Thompson. “We’re hoping for the best, but we will not be settling for an inferior con- tract; we will not be set- tling for anything less.” Although more money has been offered, Ms. Thompson said it’s still not acceptable when com- pared to what other locals receive, especially for a board in the Greater To- ronto Area. Another bargaining date before May 8 had not been arranged, but the local is still open to communica- tion, she said. “If they want to come forward with a better offer, sure, we’re all ears,” Ms. Thompson said. The Durham local and school board have been in nego- tiations since fall 2005. “We hope the next step is either continue bar- gaining... or the last four issues are sent to an arbitrator,” said Craig Burch, the board’s director of education. He added arbitration is risky for the board because the contract could be de- cided in the local’s favour. “We don’t want the el- ementary students’ educa- tion disrupted in May and June and there’s only four items outstanding,” said Mr. Burch. This week, the board is sending out a formal let- ter to the local requesting arbitration. While the local was plan- ning to meet with its mem- bers Tuesday evening, the board also has plans to meet with principals this week to go over its contin- gency plan. Occasional teachers move closer to strike Craig Burch of material and then hauling an- other type to Pickering (it’s not efficient),” he said. He calculated it would cost millions of dollars in additional transportation costs if the staff recommendation is approved. “We have to exercise financial fiscal responsibility in disposing of our waste,” he said. The staff recommendation was to go to a meeting of the joint works and finance and ad- ministration committees May 3, but that meeting was cancelled. Coun. Johnson is the vice-chair- man of the works committee. Following the regular finance and administration commit- tee meeting, Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson asked staff to request a 30-day extension on the tender contracts, which had a deadline of May 17, so commit- tee and council would have more time to make a decision. Blair McArthur of Miller Waste made a presentation at the man- agement forum meeting talking about the Squires Beach Road facility. “We’re committed to seeing the MRF deal here. We think it’s the right thing for the city of Pickering,” he said. The facility currently has a contract with the Region for recycling containers, but not paper material or “fibre” as it is referred to. Pickering Councillor Bill McLean, who is a member of the finance and administration com- mittee, also expressed support for Miller’s proposal “I know MRF in Pickering could certainly benefit the res- idents of Pickering, but in my opinion MRF would benefit all of Durham,” he said at manage- ment forum. The Metro Municipal Recycling Services proposal would cost about $15 million to build the facility at the regionally owned property on Garrard Road, and then require additional costs to operate. Since the Miller proposal was not chosen, the cost of the ser- vice contract is not known. A new facility is needed be- cause Durham Region has sur- passed its capacity to accom- modate all the recyclables it re- ceives. 28 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS DON'T PAY 'TIL 2007 NO MONEY DOWN 0% INTEREST NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS!

As the old saying goes, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” True yesterday, true today, and true tomorrow. And so it goes that a kilo- watt saved is also a kilowatt that doesn’t have to be generated. A saved kilowatt often costs less than new supply. Best of all, it costs you nothing. There are several no-cost ways we could save kilowatts effortlessly if we all: •turn down the air conditioner •use cold water to wash clothing •cook with a microwave instead of the stove •unplug that old fridge in the basement There is no question that in Ontario today, conserving energy is no longer an option. It’s a necessity. We need to become smarter about our elec- tricity use. Last summer, I issued an Electricity Conservation Challenge, urging commercial and institutional organizations to reduce their electricity consumption by 10%. The Government of Ontario also plans to reduce the growth in electricity peak demand by ve per cent across the province by 2007. Are you ready? I challenge all Ontarians to take the “10% by 2007” oath with me. Think about the ways you use electricity in your home or business, and then think about easy ways you could cut that consumption by just ten per cent. Think about how many dollars it would keep in your pockets? The Conservation Bureau is currently operating two programs: Every Kilowatt Counts (www.everykilowattcounts.ca) and Cool Savings (www.coolsavingsrebate.ca), which give you more tools to save money and electricity. by Peter Love, Chief Energy Conservation Ofcer of Ontario The Conservation Zone The Conservation Bureau develops and delivers programs to help Ontario residents conserve energy and save money.

Coun. Brenner, who filed his re-election papers the day the charges w ere laid, said noth- ing has changed in regards to him run- ning for an- other term. “I would like to remind the media and the public that things are seldom as they are first portrayed and most certainly that is true in this instance,” he said. He asked his constituents to give him the benefit of the doubt. “It’s easy to have perceptions that are formed, but I believe the people I have represented for the past 21 years will give me the benefit of the doubt,” Coun. Brenner said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said the City’s review began in 2004 after an allegation was re- ceived. The investigation did not include any other councillor, he said. Mayor Ryan would not say who brought forth the allegations. “It was handled internally,” he said. “And again, I don’t want to give anymore details on that.” Mayor Ryan said he has “no reaction officially” to the charges against Coun. Brenner. Nor will Coun. Brenner be subjected to any interim measures because of the charges. “Coun. Brenner is presumed innocent and I would expect the councillor to continue to fulfil his duties,” said Mayor Ryan. Coun. Brenner pointed out the allegations have come in the final year of the council term. “It’s coincidental that this is an election year,” he said. “I guess we’re all going to have to see how this evolves.” The 55-year-old is charged with two counts each of fraud under $5,000 and utter forged document, and breach of trust by a public officer. He attended the Oshawa Com- munity Police Office on Tuesday, May 2, with his lawyer, and was charged and released on an Of- ficer in Charge Undertaking. He is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice, 850 King Street We st in Oshawa, on Monday, June 19.

No other organization in the world knows more about it or holds it in higher esteem than the Royal Cana- dian Legion. And respect is exactly what Legion members give our Cana- dian soldiers who travel to all parts of the world on their peace- keeping duties and other missions to defend democracy. So when one of our own is killed in battle, as in Afghanistan recently when four soldiers died in a roadside bomb attack, local Legion members pay their respects in a variety of ways. The most com- mon is the lowering of the Canadian flag to half-mast. Recently the federal government has adopted a new policy of not lowering the flag when soldiers are killed in battle. Rather, it now prefers to remember all soldiers killed in battle on Re- membrance Day. This is not a new policy, but differs from that of the former Liberal government, which lowered the flag when our soldiers were killed in battle. It’s a practice many Canadians these days are accustomed to, so this sudden about-face has caught many of us off guard. Issues such as this need debate. It’s disappointing that Ajax Branch 322 referred a reporter to the zone commander, missing an opportunity to have a say. At Pickering’s Branch 606, member and zone service officer George Bourner noted instructions on when to lower the flag come from zone command. But good for him for expressing his opinion that it’s a nice gesture to lower the flag, and for providing some context on the issue. Legion members in Whitby lower their flags as soon as a soldier is killed. To them it’s a sign of respect. Doing otherwise is seen as a disservice to the fallen soldiers. We agree. After all, who knows better what it’s like to put your life on the line than Legion members? The Canadian soldiers serving in Afghanistan are protecting the well-being of Afghanis, who have adopted a new, democrati- cally elected government. They are meeting fierce resistance from the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and there could very well be more casualties before the mission ends. We see the lowering of the flag as the least we can do at home to honour those soldiers who have been killed serving in Af- ghanistan. It’s not much, but it’s the right thing to do. Pesticide-free lawns for good health To the editor: This is the time of the year that I love, yet also dread. As spring arrives, everyone feels the need to start their lawn care pro- grams. I am shocked that people continue to feel that having a lush “golf course” lawn is more important than the health of the people in our community. I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2003, and I am happy to say that I am a survivor. The cause of this type of cancer has been linked to the use of pesticides in the environment. I find the overuse of toxic lawn care products very discouraging. With numerous studies now completed and the recent announcement that the pesticide 2-4-D is cancer caus- ing, we can no longer keep ignoring the obvious. We switched to a pesticide-free, organic fertilizer two years ago and our lawn looks great. We may not be able to use it as a putting green, but who does. My health is more important, and so is the health of our children and pets. Please think twice when you purchase your fertilizer this year or when you sign a contract for a lawn care company. Organic products are now readily available and there are lawn care companies that will use organic products if you ask.

I’m never going back again. I’ve chosen celestial over terrestrial where my radio listening habits are con- cerned. And, although there’s a monthly fee incurred for that privilege, I couldn’t be happier. Ye s, I’ve tuned in and turned on to satellite radio and switched off FM fre- quencies completely and, believe me, there’s no comparison. It’s like a brave new audio world has opened up where there was only blandness and sameness -- and a whole lot of insipid blathering -- on the FM dial before. In other words, my friends, satellite radio is like an oasis in a dry desert that’s encompassed the To ronto airwaves. When satellite radio charged across the border from its birth- place in the U.S. last year, I was only too willing to join the fray. And, what’s not to like -- 24 hours a day of every musical genre and sub- genre imaginable, with crystal-clear reception and no signal fading, which is far from the norm with over-the-air radio. In fact, there’s more than 100 sta- tions that cater to your every listening whim, whether you’re a smooth jazz guy like me, where you can’t find that type of music on the Toronto radio scene, or if your music jones favours tunes by bands like Pennywise and The Off- spring, who play when my son flips the dial to ‘Faction’ which, incidentally, is my least favourite station. Heck, if you want ‘The King’ to croon to you 24/7, he’s out there on his own radio constellation and not, as the con- spiracy theorists contend, working as a fry guy at a Burger King in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Growing increasingly weary of the non-stop chatter fests, giving Toronto FM radio the boot and tuning in via sat- ellite was a no-brainer. Deejays believe, in error, that everyone hangs on their every word. Earth to disc spinners -- people want music, not to your vacuous musings. That’s not to say there aren’t deejays on satellite radio -- Barry Wil- liams from ‘The Brady Bunch’ comes to mind. But, thankfully, they keep the chatter to a bare minimum. So, now the Toronto FM deejays can prattle on all they want -- I won’t be listening. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion. com.

Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM — Mark Hol- land is getting in on the Lib- eral leadership race. The Ajax-Pickering MP isn’t running, but rather is going to be the Ontario campaign director for fed- eral Liberal lead- ership hopeful Gerard Kennedy. The Ontario MPP recently stepped down as educa- tion minister to add his name to the growing list of people looking to replace Paul Martin. “Gerard’s ability to connect with people individually and listen to them is just one of his outstanding qualities that drew me to him,” Mr. Holland said. “He represents a gen- erational change in the lead- ership of the Liberal Party, and will be a powerful force for renewal.” Mr. Holland is one of a group of young MPs working to- gether as a bloc to develop forward- looking policies and getting behind the leadership can- didate they think can best renew the party. The group met with a num- ber of the candidates before reaching a consensus. The new leader will be chosen in Montreal in De- cember.

Cornish Public School, Port Perry Father Francis Mahoney Catholic School, Oshawa Father Joseph Venini Catholic School, Oshawa John F. Kennedy School renamed in Pereyma’s honour OSHAWA — A parish priest, Mon- signor John Pereyma was a spiri- tual leader and a driving force for education and culture in Oshawa’s Ukrainian Catholic community. Monsignor Pereyma was born in Goodesc, Saskatchewan in 1909, the son of Ukrainian homestead- ers. After being ordained by Ukrai- nian Catholic Bishop Basis Ladyka in 1935 and becoming the assis- tant pastor of the Ukrainian Cath- olic Church in Manitoba, he was appointed parish priest of Oshawa’s St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in 1936. There, he endeavoured to act. Following the 1957 completion of the current St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Oshawa, Monsignor Pereyma devoted his time towards a campaign to build a Catho- lic elementary school within his parish, which resulted in the opening of John F. Ken- nedy School on Conant Street in September 1964. Monsignor Pereyma worked closely with Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate, a Ukrainian Religious Order, and Holy Cross Parish to ensure the school met the spiritual, educational and cultural needs of all chil- dren who attended. As a tribute to Monsignor Pereyma’s vision and dedication, John F. Kennedy School was renamed Monsignor John C. Pereyma Catholic School after his death in 1976. In 1988, the elementary school was torn down and John Pereyma Catholic Second- ary School constructed in its place. The school continues the tradition of Catholic education in the community and in so doing, realizes the vision shared by Monsignor Pereyma. Information supplied by school officials Port Perry man was its first principal PORT PERRY — Originally known as Port Perry Public School, R.H. Cornish was renamed in honour of its first principal, Roy Cornish. When the Queen Street school now named R.H. Cornish Public School opened in 1952, Mr. Cornish was assigned to and remained as its principal until his retirement in 1966. During his time, Mr. Cornish was instrumental in establishing the school culture, which is still rep- resented by the motto, ‘No Success Without Labour.’ Mr. Cornish was a highly respected educator and com- munity member. The Cornish name has continued to be a part of the school history as there have been four generations of Cornishes to attend the school, including Roy Cornish’s great-grandson, who is in kindergarten this year. As a tribute to Mr. Cornish’s many contributions to the success of the school, and to his 35 years serving as a principal in the Port Perry community, the school was renamed R. H. Cornish Public School upon his retirement. Information supplied by school officials Oshawa-born man was murdered in Guatemala OSHAWA — Father Joseph Venini was born in Oshawa July 15, 1898, almost 10 years after the Venini family moved to the area from Northern Italy in 1889. Raised in Oshawa, Father Venini at- tended St. Gregory’s school and later joined the Scarborough Foreign Mission Society to study at the China Mission Col- lege of Almonte, near Ottawa and the St. Augustine Seminary, Scarborough. In 1926, he was ordained in Genoa, Italy, came back to Canada briefly, and went to Lishui, China where he super- vised a chapel building program for the next 24 years. During his time there, he also supervised the building of a hospital and studied eye treatment. After being imprisoned during the Second World War, in 1946 he returned to China, but was arrested by communists, jailed for two years and expelled from the country in 1953. Father Venini came back to North America, but left again after only a few months to be a missionary in Guatemala. In 1970, he attended the opening of a new Oshawa Catholic school named in his honour at 120 Glovers Rd., where he is an inspiration to the children. At age 73, he was murdered in Guatemala on April 24, 1972. He was found adjacent to Saint Vincent Ferrer Church in Agua Caliente, apparently slain by a machete. Information supplied by school officials Priest was the first pastor of St. Gertrude’s in East Oshawa OSHAWA — Born in Toronto, Feb. 27, 1911, Francis Mahoney was the son of hard working and saintly parents who eventually knew the joy of having two priests in the fam- ily. Father Mahoney was ordained in 1938, in St. Michael’s Cathe- dral by James Cardinal McGuigan. In 1949, he was appointed to Our Lady of Victory Parish, Mount Den- nis, to assist Reverend John Mc- Cool, where he remained until 1951 when he became the first pastor of the new parish of St. Gertrude’s in east Oshawa. At St. Gertrude’s he realized a school and church buildings were sadly needed. He helped the Oshawa Separate School Board build the present St. Gertrude’s school and directed and supervised building the basement of St. Gertrude’s, and later the superstructure. In the last few weeks of his life, Father Mahoney looked forward to the ap- proaching completion of a new St. Gertrude’s Church, but died of a heart attack Feb. 26, 1960 before it was finished. The people of St. Gertrude’s Parish were shocked and grieved. Father Mahoney was a man of profound devotion to God, who dearly loved the people and children committed to his care. His pleasing personality and friendly smile endeared him to all his parishioners and friends. Francis Mahoney Catholic School originally opened in 1963 as St. Francis Catholic School, but was later renamed in honour of the Oshawa pastor. Information supplied by school officials Monsignor John Pereyma arrived in Oshawa in 1936, as the parish priest of St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church. keywordsearch: schoolnamegame Roy Cornish was a highly respected educator and member of the community.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 5, 2006 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com Your number is up...Play SUDOKU online at durhamregion.com Telescope viewing, displays and maps all planned By Blake Wolfe Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — The Durham Region Astronomical Association is holding its annual Astronomy Day at the Parkwood Estate. The free event is Saturday, May 6 between 1 and 11 p.m. Parkwood is located at 270 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa. Astronomy Day will include telescope-viewing sessions of celestial objects, including various planets and daytime views of the sun’s surface, weather-permitting. There will also be displays of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and clinics on the use of telescopes and star maps. According to DRAA vice president Steve Bevan, the choice to move the annual event to Parkwood was made after the estate extended an invitation to the association. Prior to this year, the DRAA held the event at Iroquois Park in Whitby. He added the event is always well-attended by Dur- ham Region residents. “We are pleased and grateful for this opportuni- ty,” he said. “It’s nice to see this because Col. Sam McLaughlin had a previous link with astronomy.” Mr. Bevan explained that a donation from Col. McLaughlin to the province of Ontario resulted in the construction of the McLaughlin Planetarium in Toronto, which closed in 1995. The first Astronomy Day was held in California in 1973, and has since become an international event, recognized by astronomical organizations in various countries each spring. The DRAA has been organizing its own Astronomy Day events since 2002. For more information, contact the DRAA at 905-721-7450.

SKU: 10057003/10018792 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 5, 2006 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com Brenda Hounam in Ajax to share triggers, struggles associated with disease By Fariha Naqvi Mohamed Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Imagine driving through thick fog. Confusion surrounds you; you have no idea where to go. For Alzheimer’s disease sufferers, that feeling can be an everyday reality. The Durham Chapter of the Ontario Gerontological Nursing Association (GNA) held a dinner recently, with Alzheimer’s patient Brenda Hounam the guest speaker at the Carruther’s Creek Golf Centre in Ajax. The guests varied from students to nurs- es and others working in health care. Ms. Hounam compared her disease to driving in the fog. “First you start to slow down in order to concentrate, then it becomes denser so that you can’t see the line in the centre of the road. Eventually you need to pull over because it totally takes you over,” she says. The comparison allowed audience members to better understand what it’s like in her head. “It’s always a little foggy; other days, however, it’s heavier fog,” Ms. Hounan said, adding sometimes she needs to put all her concentration into very small every- day tasks. The powerful public speaker walked the audience through her everyday chores and highlighted what triggers Alzheimer’s dis- ease. Her personal triggers include heat and ringing telephones. Such irritations make simple things like cooking or locating a lost set of keys over- whelming for someone suffering from the debilitating disorder. It took doctors one-and-a-half years and 127 appointments to diagnose her. She thanked her persistent insurance company for pushing her to attend each appoint- ment. The result was that Ms. Hounam could no longer return to work as an in- dustrial accountant. In fact, she had diffi- culty balancing a chequebook or even cal- culating simple math, such as how many years it’s been since 2000, when she was diagnosed. Her light-hearted humour and ease in speaking drew in each member of her au- dience. “The presentation and Brenda’s message was even more powerful than I had an- ticipated,” said 57-year-old Ron Martyn of Oshawa, “She was remarkably poised and professional in her presentation, yet down to earth and real.” The professional in the aging and ger- ontology fields admitted “she shared so much of herself that I could not help but be moved.” Dinner, and the presentation by Ms. Hounam, were followed by the moving song, ‘One More Memory’, performed by singer-songwriter Sara Westbrook. The song was written as a gift from Ms. Hou- nam to her two children but has since become an inspiration to countless people suffering from the disease. “Every Alzheimer’s patient is different and there are really no set rules. It takes different things to set off their off days,” says Gale Duarte, 47, of Oshawa. When Ms. Westbrook completed her performance, there was not a dry eye in the hall. “My mother-in-law was diagnosed with dementia then later on with Alzheimer’s,” admits Ms. Duarte. “It breaks my heart to think she is so far away (in Portugal), but the song that Sara sang at the dinner brought back so many happy memories that now I am not feeling sorry but feeling my mother-in-law’s love.” The song spurred such a positive re- sponse that Ms. Westbrook and others de- cided to create the One More Memory foundation, which helps to inspire those with the disease as well as comfort their loved ones.

The next time, he had to dig his car out of a snowbank. But he kept coming back -- for 35 years, in fact -- forging a career in policing that allowed him to pursue a dream and serve his community. This past Tuesday marked Con- stable Hunter’s last day on the job. And in a way it signified the end of an era: He’s the last serving member of the former Oshawa City police force to turn in his badge. Const. Hunter pursued a career away from the family farm, but he was never far from Greenbank. In an interview Tuesday, Const. Hunter said he was inspired by the stories told by his dad, Neil, who spent five years as a cop in Toronto after the end of the Second World War. He was just 17 when he made his way from the rolling hills north of Port Perry, bent on applying for a job with Oshawa police. “I came out of high school in the spring and it didn’t take long to re- alize farming wasn’t the career for me. I left that to my brothers,” Const. Hunter said. “I wandered down into the big city from Greenbank,” he recalled. “I wandered downtown until I found a policeman to direct me to the police station.” Swallowing his trepidation, the young country boy walked into the station on Queen Street and filled out an application. He heard no more until there was a call one day as he went about milking the cows in Greenbank. He’d been granted an interview with Oshawa police; his career as a cop had begun. His first day on the job was to be March 8, 1971. But first, there was some weather to contend with. “O n March 7, we had a blizzard. It was a nasty one,” Const. Hunter said. Worried he’d be snowed in on the farm, he took action. “My older brother and I hooked the tractor to the old Dodge and towed it through the snowbanks to the four corners of Greenbank. And there it sat overnight.” Const. Hunter rode a snowmobile into Greenbank the next day, hop- ing the car would start. It did, and he made it to work on time, looking good: He wore his best suit under a snowmobile suit. The young cadet was given a variety of duties. He served court papers and acted as a dispatcher and worked in the courts, escorting prisoners to and from their appear- ances before judges. Upon becom- ing a full-fledged officer, he was sent off to the Ontario Police College in Aylmer for training. The Oshawa force was amalgam- ated with other municipal police services in 1974, when the Durham Regional Police Service was created. Const. Hunter served in Oshawa for more than a decade before being transferred in 1983 to North Dur- ham. He served in the community he’d grown up in until 2001. “I enjoyed Oshawa and I basically got talked into going up there. It took about six hours to realize I’d made the right move,” Const. Hunter said. “It was just a whole different at- mosphere up there. People waved at you.” Scugog residents were comfort- able with one of their own policing the community. People would call Const. Hunter at home -- they’d seek advice after hitting a deer, or having their car broken into, for instance, or when a beef with a neighbour got out of hand -- and he welcomed it. He’s never had an unlisted phone number. “They were my maturing years up there,” he said. “The memories of just working in the community are endless. There were some sad times but there were a lot of laughs and a lot of interaction with the public. I grew up there.” Some occurrences, such as the violent 1994 robbery at a Port Perry bank in which three Durham cops were shot, are seared into Const. Hunter’s memory. So are other milestones in his career, such as at- tending his first fatal accident -- a child run over by a bus in Oshawa -- and the first time he had to inform family members a loved one had been killed. All were part of the rich and vari- ous experiences of a lifetime in po- licing. “There is no typical day and I think that’s what makes it so unique,” Const. Hunter said. “Most people would not under- stand it.” Const. Hunter spent his final day on the job being shuttled around in a vintage Biscayne police cruiser, visiting friends and colleagues in courthouses in Oshawa -- his last four years were spent in court ser- vices -- before heading home, to Scugog. He now views retirement as an open book. There’s plenty to do around the house, of course, and he and wife Shirley will hit the road with their camper this summer, as they usually do. “In the fall, I’ll reassess,” Const. Hunter said. “I’ll have to find some- thing to keep me occupied.” 1725 Kingston Road 905.426.6047 Brockington Plaza, Pickering (Brock Rd. and Kingston Rd.)

NEWS ADVERTISER The last of an era — career cop calls it quits For more on this story Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Jim Hunter was greeted enthusiastically upon a stop at Prince Albert Public School during his last day on the job. Mr. Hunter began his career before the birth of the Durham Regional Police Service. (NC) As your lawn and garden reach their peak of colour and vibrancy over the next few weeks, it is certainly no time to put up with dreary patio furniture. With a little attention to it now, each piece can claim its rightful place when brought from winter storage and put back into the light. Lawn, pool, and patio furniture needs to be examined, cleaned thoroughly, and restored if necessary - and since bacteria thrive in summer heat and humidity, it is always a good idea to remove potential germs from the furniture on a regular basis. On hard, non-porous surfaces, like plastic for example, a liquid, multi-purpose, antibacterial cleaning aid is ideal for the fi rst big wash-down in spring. The furniture can then be maintained with the use of a handy, non-streaking, antibacterial spray. Here are a few useful tips to make this job a breeze, courtesy of Mr. Clean: Plastic Furniture Wipe heavy grime off fi rst with a clean wet cloth. Follow by spraying with germ-fi ghting solution like Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi-Surface Cleaner, as directed on the label. Rinse thoroughly with water from your garden hose. Also keep it clean throughout the season with Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi-Surface Spray. Pa tio furniture cleaning tips ADVERTISING FEATURE homessweet homehome PICOV FURNITURE C.C.

With the numerous barbecue options out there, the barbecue team at Canadian Tire has put together some information to make choosing the perfect barbecue easy. There are several types of barbecues available, each with different features. It’s important to consider your needs when making your decision. Natural gas A natural gas barbecue runs off of the gas line from your house. It is easy to light, operate and clean. It also gives you the ability to control the cooking temperature and is relatively inexpensive to maintain because you do not need to purchase or refi ll gas tanks. It is important to remember that installing a gas barbecue can be diffi cult and unless you have installed a long gas line from your house to your grill, it’s impossible to move the barbecue once it has been put in place. It’s important to remember that a natural gas barbecue should always be installed by a trained gas technician. Propane A propane barbecue runs off of a propane tank and many are portable and easy to operate. When considering this kind of barbecue, keep in mind that tanks need to be fi lled and it’s often diffi cult to know when they are going to run out. It’s best to look for propane tanks that have a gas gauge, which will let you know when gas is low. Added features When looking for a barbecue, there are many value-added features that can make outdoor cooking easy and more enjoyable. Cooking surface There are many different types of cooking surfaces. Chrome is the most widely available type of surface. A porcelain-coated surface is non-stick, making it easier to use and clean, however keep in mind that it may chip over time. Stainless steel and cast iron are also available and are very durable. Cast iron takes longer to heat up, but retains heat better than stainless steel. Rear, side and rotisserie burners These burners provide extra space for cooking and also allow you to cook different items without mixing tastes. Infrared sear burners These burners get extremely hot. They are used to seal in fl avor and create restaurant-style grilling. Great for steak! What is BTU? BTU stands for British Thermal Units. BTU is a measurement of heat output. When looking for a barbecue it is important to know how many BTU’s there are, however it should not be the deciding factor for choosing a barbecue. Make sure you calculate BTUs from the true square footage of the barbecue. Side, back and rotisserie burners should be calculated separately.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 5, 2006 PAGE 23 A/Pdurhamregion.com National program launch site is child’s play for Region By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Where once vandalism reigned, soon will stand a new place for children to play. Radio Park in Oshawa has been chosen from more than 80 communities across Canada as the launch site of Let Them Be Kids Canada (LTBK), a nation- wide program that helps com- munities build playgrounds in areas of need. Located just west of down- town Oshawa, approximately five years ago the park’s play- ground equipment was re- moved because of vandalism. But on June 10 the equipment will be re-established. Durham Region is the first of seven communities selected for the 2006 LTBK program. “This program will help the Region of Durham become a world-class community,” said Hugh Drouin, commissioner of the Region’s social services department. “We are looking together in the same direction with some very powerful part- ners.” The program’s chairman, Ian Hill, said LTBK is a first- of-its-kind, national initiative designed to help communities build partnership and volun- teerism. Mr. Hill on April 26 was at Durham headquarters in Whitby to announce activities associated with the three-day, region-wide event from June 8 to 10. It includes a series of forums and seminars as well as a busi- ness leaders’ breakfast and public leaders’ summit. It cul- minates in the building of the new playground at Radio Park by a group of volunteers. A representative from each of the five co-ordinating partners, Durham’s social services de- partment, the City of Oshawa, Durham Regional Police, Dur- ham Community Foundation, and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, ex- pressed their excitement about being involved. “This is going to be the start of a wonderful voyage,” said Durham Police Deputy Chief Chuck Mercier. The playground will have 30 per cent of its components wheelchair-accessible thanks to a $5,000 contribution from Oshawa’s accessibility commit- tee. The Radio Park grounds open June 10 at 7 a.m. and the build begins at 8 a.m. For a full sched- ule and a complete description of the week’s activities, go to www.ltbk.org/durham.htm Durham p ark’s rebirth begins in June Erin Hatfield/ News Advertiser photo Ian Hill, chairman of Let Them Be Kids, addresses the crowd at the program’s launch April 26 at Durham Re- gion Headquarters. Radio Park in Oshawa has been choosen from more than 80 communities across Canada as the launch site for Let Them Be Kids. Teen girls were promised modelling shots, police say By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A man who po- lice say posed as a fashion pho- tographer has been arrested on charges he exploited teenaged victims to create child pornog- raphy, and in one case sexually assaulted an Oshawa girl. Durham Regional Police de- tectives teamed with Toronto cops to investigate the man, who is believed to have lured teenage girls with the promise of helping them pursue modelling careers. “He was able to find one of the victims by way of the Inter- net and it just progressed from there,” said Durham Detective Andy Bussanich. “We have a couple of victims in our area ...we’re still going through evidence,” he said. Durham and Toronto detec- tives executed a search warrant at an address in the Port Union Road - Lawrence Avenue East area late in March, police said. Among the items seized during the search were computers and related equipment. A number of teens -- police are still trying to determine ex- actly how many -- are believed to have been lured by the man, who promised them modelling pho- tos but instead took advantage of them and created pictures of a sexual nature, police said. One Oshawa girl alleges she was given liquor and sexually as- saulted by a man who posed as a fashion photographer. “(The victims) believed it was a legitimate agency,” Det. Bus- sanich said. While the investigation has fo- cused on Durham and Toronto so far it may be expanded, he said. “We’re looking beyond our borders,” Det. Bussanich said. Karim Remtulla, 37, of Toron- to, is charged with sexual assault and two counts each of making child pornography and posses- sion of child pornography. He was scheduled to appear for a bail hearing May 4. Det. Bussanich said young people who are approached with offers of modelling careers or other similar proposals should be on their guard. “Be very skeptical about anybody who approaches you regarding modelling,” he cau- tioned. “Take your parents with you. Contact the agency ahead of time and if it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.” The investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call Durham police at 905-579-1520, ext. 5349 or 5363.

I could do that’.” Now, the 22-year-old Pickering resident is going to represent her community at the Miss Canada Petite Globe Nationals in Edmonton from Aug. 14 to 21. She was crowned Miss Petite Durham and Miss Congeniality 2006 at a recent regional pag- eant in Scarborough. Ms. Clayton is one of 10 girls from On- tario competing in Edmonton. For the first-time pageant entrant, nerves were an issue in Scarborough. “Oh yeah. The nerves were kicking in, but I did pretty well,” she states. Her talent was performing a mono- logue. Other categories include swimsuit, eve- ning gown, a question-and-answer and a speech on “a charity we would like to help.” She chose the Canadian Cancer Society because “my father passed away from it seven years ago.” Her father, Raymond, was a smoker and died of lung cancer, she notes. “It’s in my family,” Ms. Clayton says of the disease. Since winning the titles, Ms. Clayton has taken part in the Pickering Easter Parade and the MS Super Cities Walk in Toronto. “I make as many appearances (as pos- sible) and want be seen,” she says. She has to raise $1,500 to attend the ceremonies in Edmonton, which will cover her transportation and hotel costs. She and her mother, Marveline, are in the process of finding sponsors. Ms. Clayton has an agent because she’s an actress and model. She’s appeared in a MuchMusic commercial, as well as inde- pendent and high school theatre. “I’m trying to be known as an actress in (this) area as well,” she says. She graduated from Pine Ridge Second- ary School and went on to Durham College to take early childhood education. She graduated in 2004 and now has a part-time job at the First Steps Daycare in Pickering. “It’s a lot of fun. I love kids,” she says. Ms. Clayton is hoping to go back to uni- versity and then onto teachers’ college. She also has a part-time job at a pharmacy and a “very supportive” boyfriend. “He came to the crowning. He calls me Miss Durham. He doesn’t call me by my first name anymore,” Ms. Clayton says. DURHAM — The best student singers and musicians in Durham public schools are put- ting on a show May 8.

More than 1,300 athletes, rep- resenting more than 80 schools from across the GTA, took part in the prestigious event, which signals the beginning of the high school outdoor track and field season. Leading the Trojans’ charge was Melody Lee, who won gold in the midget girls’ 80-metre hur- dles. Not to be outdone, the midget boys’ quartet of Mckenzie Mos- ley, Brandon Wilson, Caileb Downey-Brown and Kamayu Duggan posted the fastest midget time in the sprint relay to take gold. Wilson was second in the high jump. Mosley and Duggan placed second and third, respec- tively, in the midget boys’ 100- metre hurdles. Downey-Brown and Wilson were sixth and sev- enth, respectively, in the 100 me- tres. In the junior division, Zach- ary Slater, Duggan, Wilson and Mosley placed fifth in the sprint relay. Slater placed seventh in the 100 metres. Shenika Scho- burgh placed sixth in the 100 metres. In the senior category, Ryan Gordon and Shane Herbert placed first and second, respec- tively, in the 110-metre hurdles. The sprint relay team of Andrew Spence, Herbert, Gordon and Troy Sievwright-Adams placed second. The team is preparing for the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) champion- ships at Oshawa’s Civic Fields on May 16 and 17.

Ajax-Pickering Rock ready to roll Senior ‘B’s open season Saturday in Brooklin By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — After struggling out of the gate since entering the league four years ago, the Ajax- Pickering Rock hope the start of the 2006 senior ‘B’ lacrosse cam- paign will be different. Rock head coach and gener- al manager Paul St. John says a quick start is a definite priority as the team kicks off the Ontario Lacrosse Association season on Saturday in Brooklin against the Merchants at 7 p.m. “I don’t think we’ve ever started the season out of the gate fast. We’ve always struggled, and that’s because we’ve never had our full lineup to start the season,” ex- plained St. John. “This year, we want to get out of the gate quickly. Our goal is to finish first in the league and there’s a reward for that -- a first-round bye in the play- offs. We want to be that team.” At the club’s training camp last month, St. John’s cut down rapidly to his 23-man roster and ran the camp at a high tempo in order to have his players in game shape early in the process. He’s cautiously optimistic those moves will pay off with more early-sea- son wins. “How will they respond? We’ll see on Saturday. We’ll find out if we’re as good as we believe we can be,” says St. John. The Rock retained most of its players from last season, but did make some changes, bringing in eight new players. Back for his third season is team captain and NLL veteran Jim Veltman, who signed on for another summer season. Among the newcomers is Tony Henderson, who played with the Minnesota Swarm of the National Lacrosse League last sea- son, to bolster the Rock’s offence. Henderson, an American who lives in Buffalo, gained his release from Kitchener/Waterloo and has signed to play in Ajax-Pickering this summer. Last summer, he played in the Can/Am senior ‘B’ loop for Niagara. “He’s a big lefty, an offensive player who sets real good pics and has a dedication to the game that’s second to none,” says St. John. “We’re expecting big things from him this year.” St. John says Brooklin rep- resents a stern test to open the regular season for his Rock. The Merchants opened the season at home last weekend, losing to the Owen Sound Woodsmen 12-9 on Saturday, but bounced back on Sunday to beat the Wellington Aces 13-7. “They’re a big test for us. I watched them play last week- end against Owen Sound and they should have won that game. I thought they outplayed Owen Sound for the most part. They’ve added three or four play- ers since the opening weekend, so we better be ready. I respect that club. They’re a team that’s going to bring the best out of us.” To say, however, that Brooklin is the team to beat this year might be premature, says St. John. “We definitely know how good Brooklin is. They think they’re one of the teams to beat this year, so hopefully we can go in there and prove them wrong.” The Rock’s home opener is on Friday, May 12 at the Pickering Recreation Complex against Owen Sound. Game time is 8:30 p.m. PEBBLES: Todd Hollinshead (work commitment) and Frank Littlejohn (hockey commitment) won’t play on Saturday against Brooklin... The Rock will go with a two-man coaching staff this season, with only Jeff Garlin returning as an assistant coach this year. 1JDLFSJOH`T/FXFTU1JDLFSJOH`T/FXFTU $POUFNQPSBSZ%JOJOH&YQFSJFODF$POUFNQPSBSZ%JOJOH&YQFSJFODF GLENDALE MARKETPLACE 1900 DIXIE RD.

The victory means the Attack will represent Ontario at both the east national championships in Moncton and the west national championships in Calgary. At the Ontario final, the Attack and Vipers jumped out of the starting gate quickly, demonstrating their quick attacks and powerful play. At 24-20, it seemed that the Vipers may have won the first game, when the Durham girls roared back with six straight points for a 26-24 victory. As the second game unfolded, the Durham girls picked up where they had left off the first match and began powering their way to victory, win- ning the second set 25-20. The Durham Attack faced their Durham neighbours, the DRVC, in the semifinals. Attack jumped out of the gate quickly and won the first game 25-14. DRVC, however, wouldn’t give in and fought back to win the second game 25-20. The final game was a back-and- forth affair before the Attack won 20-18. Facing the Aurora Storm in the quarter-finals, the Attack quickly em- ployed all of their offensive weapons and a victory soon ensued. The first game was won handily 25-15. The second proved a tougher battle as the Storm fought hard be- fore Durham won 25-23. Pool play began with the Attack winning over the Niagara Rapids (25-13, 25-19), the Stratford Stingers (25-11, 25-21), and the South County Bandits (25-20, 25-13). Finishing first in their pool, the Attack girls faced off against the Eto- bicoke Titans in the pre-quarters and won 25-21 and 25-19.

The annual event attracted ama- teur boxers from clubs across On- tario. Ajax’s Tiller’s Boxing Club sent four fighters to the event hosted by the St. Catharines Boxing Club. In a 64-to-69-kilogram senior novice bout between Tiller’s Mo- hammad Awad and Regency Box- ing Club’s Eric Johnson, Awad was leading well into the third and final round when disaster struck. Johnson landed a blow in the final seconds that stunned Awad and eventually put him to the canvas. Johnson was awarded the win on an RSC (referee stopped contest). “He was knocked out with two seconds left in the bout,” says Tiller, incredulous that the match could turn completely around so quickly. “It was one of the most dramatic things I’ve ever been a part of in my 15 years of coaching.” Of the four Tiller’s fighters that en- tered the ring, the lone winner was Brock Arthur, who scored a third- round TKO over Ryan Matthews of the host St. Catharines Boxing Club in a 91-kg senior novice bout. Arthur, however, suffered a hy- perextended left elbow during the course of the bout and wasn’t able to continue on in the tournament. Eric ‘the Bulldog’ Mitchell, in a 57-kg novice cadet ‘B’ division bout against Vincenzo Chiarappa of the Fighting Island Boxing Club, lost via a first-round RSC, resulting from two standing eight counts. Meanwhile, Chico Caracas was defeated on points, 23-16, by Padraic Griffin of the Big Tyme Boxing Club in a senior open 54-kg bout. The two fighters will have a re-match in Orangeville on June 10. NOTES: The Ajax Boxing Club and Pickering’s Liverpool Boxing Club also had fighters at the Ray McGibbons Gloves Tournament. Ajax Boxing Club’s Melissa Doldron defeated Grisselda Maradiaga of McGrory’s 36-31 on points in the senior female novice 63-to-66kg weight class. Doldron, however, lost her second bout to Aimy Ramirez of Nappers Boxing Club 22-18...

A year ago, Ted's time had come His health had surely come undone, So sad to see this process through But truly, who could have knew? These last few images ingrained in my head Thoughts of him lying in the hospital bed. Now, as time passes by with heartache still strong This whole process just seems so wrong. If I could have anything, money I would not take But one more chance to see Ted awake Many memories still fill my heart Good and bad ones as we part. Without ever having him in my life is difficult to see Can't imagine who or what I might be Despite the agony I may have felt as a teen His rules, his lessons, those long awful sessions The impact was strong and pride is what I know that I would see For I am this person, without him I could not be, Although not perfect I would not change a thing My life was blessed when Ted walked in. So proud to say that he is my dad Having him in my life sure makes me glad! Thank you Brenda & Charlene To my papa On the day you flew away I wept and was not the same. I know you are still here but I just can't see you, but that's ok. We had a lot of good times together like with big Jake and also my names like satin and devil. I still love you with all my heart!! I know you have visited me I was scared but that is still really really fine with me I really really miss you I am sure every one is to. But in my heart you are the mayor of Marmora and my papa the great and the best one too!! I love you with all my heart and I all ways will love macker (satin and devil) JONES In loving memory of our dear parents - Alma Elizabeth (Jan. 17/07 - May 7/05) Lorne Walter (Nov. 12/05 - Mar. 22/83 Asleep in God's beautiful garden Away from all sorrow and pain Someday when life's journey is ended We shall all be together again.

North of Hwy#2 905-427-1921 Riverside Golf Course is situated on 54 acres in the heart of Pickering Village. This championship nine hole course plays 2920 yards in length from the back tee boxes, and includes three challenging Par threes, four Par fours, and two Par fives; playing a Par 35. Riverside is maintained at the highest level. Eight of the nine holes have water hazards, along with a total of 24 bunker hazards, and as a result driving accuracy is a must. Medium-size golf tournaments are booked regularly by small businesses, sport teams, and many other social groups wanting to enjoy a day out doors. With affordability in mind at Riverside, we have once again sold out of available memberships again this season. Stonehenge Golf Course is a brand new sister course to Riverside, and as an exciting promotion we are offering a free Monday to Friday round of golf, with the purchase of ten greens tickets at either Riverside or Stonehenge. Riverside is located between Brock Road and Church Street in Ajax, off Kingston Road (Highway#2) Travel north on Elizabeth Street for three km to reach this unique golf course, which also has a licensed clubhouse with a wide selection of snacks and sandwiches.
