Durham initially committed $3.5 million to the expansion and has already paid out $1.2 million towards the project currently under construction. At the Sept. 17 council meeting, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and Coun- cillor Scott Crawford will ask Regional coun- cil to withhold the balance of the money until the Region is satisfied with the services to be provided at the hospital, including mental health beds. “We have to send a message, and the message can only be sent if we say we’re so unhappy with the situation that the $2.3 million we haven’t transferred yet, we’re not going to pay until you sit down with us and we get a written understanding of what we’re going to get,” said Mayor Parish. The support from the committee is a rec- ommendation only and it will be up to Re- gional Council to pass the motion to with- hold the money. But the mayor said he thinks it has a good chance of passing. The committee did briefly discuss what would happen if the money was pulled. “If we pull the funding, are the tradespeo- ple going to walk off the site and delay the project,” asked Oshawa Coun. John Henry, who added he supports the message Mayor Parish’s motion intends to send. If the money is withheld, construction wouldn’t stop, but the equipment to furnish the expansion would be lacking, said Dr. Romas Stas, associate chief of staff for RVHS, in a phone interview following the meeting, “The money is for the Ajax-Pickering site, when we’re withholding the money, we’re not really affecting Rouge Valley as a whole, we’re affecting Ajax-Pickering.” As a long-time member of the community, Dr. Stas said he understands why the request was made and said he thinks mental health is a very important aspect of medicine. How- ever, he also said at this point it’s impossible to undo the change. Before making the decision, the com- mittee heard from three members of the public frustrated by the Rouge Valley Health System’s decision to move 20 in-patient mental health beds from the Ajax hospital to Scarborough’s Centenary hospital.

Pickering resident Morgan Dever said the issue goes beyond the loss of the mental health beds to the lack of community input before the RVHS board makes decisions. “The board occupies a corporate bastion that has no drawbridge, in our communi- ties anyway,” he said. Scugog Mayor and finance commit- tee chairwoman Marilyn Pearce said she shared Mr. Dever’s frustration with hospital governance. “I am a strong believer that hospital boards have to get back to representing the community they’re chosen to represent and that’s just not happening,” she said. Pickering Coun. Bill McLean also said he fully supported withholding the money and sending a clear message. “It wasn’t three delegates I heard, it was 300,000. One hundred thousand in Pickering, 100,000 in Ajax, 100,000 in Whitby.” “I think withholding it on the other hand is not going to change what’s happened to mental health, it’s just going to hurt us in furnishing the new expansion.” Although she said that concern has tor- mented her, Whitby resident Lynne Chil- derhouse feels there’s no other option. “Other than that, what does Durham Region have in its pocket, so to speak, to obtain a guarantee that we’re not going to continue to lose our services?” ✦ Doctor from page 1 Doctor says holding back funds would hurt Ajax and Pickering DURHAM — The Region’s 400 “out- side” workers have handed down a 97 per cent strike mandate to their union. Represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1785, the employees work in areas including water treatment, sewage treatment, road maintenance and at the Region’s waste transfer stations. They’ve been without a contract since March 31 and the union says outstand- ing issues include wages, benefits and job security. “We are hopeful that the Region will come to conciliation talks with the clear intention of bargaining and addressing the outstanding issues,” said Dan Mc- Gregor, president of the local. “We are keen to move bargaining forward and reach a settlement so our members can continue delivering im- portant public services for Durham resi- dents.” Talks are scheduled for Sept. 22. Strike mandate from Region workers Final decision on terms of reference to go to Council Monday By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — We want to stay away from the sta- tus quo when planning for the Seaton neighbourhood, says a Pickering councillor. “If it’s going to happen it damn well better happen right,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley. She added it’s crucial to hire consultants that un- derstand the intent of the plan. The planning and devel- opment committee passed the Seaton draft terms of reference for the Seaton neighbourhood planning program last week. The Seaton community in north Pickering is projected to have 70,000 residents and create 35,000 jobs. But before things get moving, the City is respon- sible for certain studies and plans, such as the neigh- bourhood planning pro- gram. The terms of reference have now been accept- ed, and consultants are needed to carry out the program. The committee also approved the use of a collaborative manage- ment approach where the management committee will consist of three mem- bers from the Landowners Group and three from the City. The program was origi- nally designed with the City hiring a consultant and running the program with a steering committee. “It should be City-driven,” said Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, adding community involvement is also crucial. But Ward 3 City Council- lor David Pickles empha- sized that although it’s a collaborative management plan, Council still has final approval of plans, which he added as an amendment. He also made an amend- ment to emphasize public consultation and engage- ment in the process. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson tried to add into the terms that the plan for Seaton should be to develop in the centre, then “build out to singles, semis and townhomes.” This is opposite of tra- ditional planning, he said, and would lessen head- aches in the future since residents would be aware of the development strat- egy. “It’s an opportunity for us to get it right the first time by learning from our past,” he said. Council passed his amendment that stated the development of em- ployment lands must com- mence before the com- mencement of residential neighbourhoods. He also said bus services should be there before the first resi- dent moves in. This was amended so that transit services, alternative trans- portation facilities and re- tail and service uses will begin early with the first residential neighbourhood and employment lands. Mayor Dave Ryan was pleased with the discus- sion. “We all seem to be thinking along the same lines and that’s truly good news,” he said. He asked that any plan- ning consultant can put in bids, not just the ones listed in the report. Coun- cillors also agreed the identification of detailed community facilities, such as schools, is required, and that consultant proposals must include declarations of conflicts of interest re- specting Seaton lands and developers. The final decision will be up to Council Monday and, like all reports, can be found at www.cityofpicker- ing.com.

Get Local 24/7 mobile.newsdurhamregion.com Annual event goes Sept. 18 By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s hard to hear an increasing number of young women are calling the Oshawa Durham Rape Crisis Centre (ODRCC), and consider it positive news. But Lynn Cohen-Kovacs says it means women who have been raped or sexu- ally assaulted are seeking out resources at an early age, not waiting 10, 20 or 30 years to find help. “We’re not seeing fewer assaults but we are seeing more of these young women reaching out,” said the ODRCC counsellor and pub- lic education co-ordinator. “That means, maybe their intimate relationships and family relationships won’t be as affected, later on.” It’s the kind of silver lining Ms. Cohen-Kovacs struggles to find in a field of work that is often horrifying. Even though some sta- tistics indicate the number of local sexual assaults has decreased in recent years, the volume of calls at the ODRCC stays constant. It’s this reality that makes next week’s 16th annual Take Back the Night walk so important. Like other Take Back the Night events worldwide, the local walk through down- town Oshawa aims to em- power women, raise aware- ness of violence against women and children and drive home the fact women should be able to walk freely at night without fear. “I wouldn’t walk alone in downtown Oshawa at night, and neither would most women I know,” Ms. Cohen- Kovacs said. “That needs to change.” The ODRCC organizes the annual event with the support of YWCA Durham, which opens up the Ontario Early Years Centre so people can gather before heading out to walk. Participation has been slowly growing, with about 150 walkers in 2006 and 250 last year, ranging from mothers and grandmothers to politicians and business owners. The 2006 walk marked the first time men were in- vited to participate in what has traditionally been a women-only event. Dur- ham became one of the first communities in the area to include men after organiz- ers reasoned they should be able to show their support for women and have the chance to learn about the impact of sexual violence. “We’ve had very good feedback from the commu- nity on that decision,” said Ms. Cohen-Kovacs. The ODRCC helps women from all walks of life, in- cluding students who have experienced date violence, sex-trade workers, victims of domestic violence and adults who are wrestling with the past trauma of childhood sexual assault. Services include individ- ual and group counselling, a resource library, public education and a crisis line that is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This year’s Take Back the Night will feature two guest speakers who are survivors of sexual assault, as well as entertainment, community displays, pizza donated by Square Boy and coffee and goodies donated by a local Tim Hortons. Things get underway at 6 p.m. on Sept. 18 at the On- tario Early Years Centre, 1 McGrigor St. The walk itself begins around 7 p.m. Par- ticipants are encouraged to bring a flashlight. For more information, call the ODRCC at 905-444- 9672 or visit www.durham- rapecrisiscentre.com.

P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 12, 2008 durhamregion.com Rain or shine, I’m taking part in Terry Fox’s run T hat’s it. I’m tired of just talking about what a great guy Terry Fox was. My fellow co-worker, Crystal Crimi, and myself will get up early this Sunday, Sept. 14, and head over to the Pickering Recre- ation Complex to participate in the Terry Fox Run. Since I put my pledging account online a week ago for donations, I’ve raised $215 with another $25 in cash that will go toward his dream, to find a cure for cancer. It’s amazing the feeling you get when you see people actually caring about what you’re doing and their willingness to help out for a good cause. And the great thing about it: you don’t mind bugging people for donations since it’s going toward some- thing that improves the lives of those suffer- ing from cancer every day. And, as I watched the total increase, I realized how Mr. Fox must have felt when he saw more and more people wanting to help him with his Marathon of Hope. Getting out of bed early one Sunday morning and handing over $240 (or hope- fully more when the time comes) is nothing compared to what Mr. Fox accomplished when he ran with only one good leg all the way from St. John’s, Nfld. to Thunder Bay, Ont. While my original goal was only $100, I quickly increased it to $200 when I saw how fast the donations came in. I guess it kind of mirrors Mr. Fox increasing the distance he’d cover each day. He said the following during his run just outside of Ottawa, having covered 3,113 kilometres: “...everybody seems to have given up hope of trying. I haven’t. It isn’t easy and it isn’t supposed to be, but I’m accomplishing something. How many people give up a lot to do something good? I’m sure we would have found a cure for cancer twenty years ago if we had really tried.” People shouldn’t give up on finding that cure. Mr. Fox died 27 years ago, and the run has been going strong ever since. But Pickering’s numbers were down last year, with less than 200 people participating, and it would be nice to see more people con- tinuing his dream. The money goes toward research and without that, there will be no cure. And, without people taking part in events such as this, there will be no hope. My little experience in trying to raise funds for the run has shown me that people really do care. Maybe all they need is a little push. There’s still time to participate in Pickering’s run (from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the rec complex at 1867 Valley Farm Rd.), which also allows roller blading, walking and cycling, and is wheelchair accessible. Pledge sheets can be downloaded online, as well as creating an online account, and participants have until Oct. 11 to hand in donations. Donors get a tax receipt.

Easy to take part in Sunday’s Marathon of Hope W ill you give to the United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge this year? The non-profit charity helps so many of the most vulnerable people in our com- munity, our neighbours, friends and even family members, that it’s tough to answer ‘no’ to that question. The organization launched its 2008 fund- raising campaign this week, setting a goal of $1.75 million. It’s lower than in the previ- ous two years, when the United Way here didn’t reach the $1.9 million target it had set. Strike that, when we were unable to help it meet or exceed the target. This year, seven local companies, Areva NP Canada, Hubbell Canada, Messier- Dowty, Nokia, Ontario Power Genera- tion, Purdue Pharma and Veridian, have pledged to raise $275,000. While our family budgets certainly won’t allow us to chal- lenge that six-figure sum, surely we can each help a little, donating $10, $25, $50 or $100 to help ensure the campaign’s suc- cess. If you’re able to, give even more. We’ve said it before, but it bears repeat- ing. There are many worthy charities here and across Canada that help to improve people’s lives. But, if you’re going to give to just one, give serious thought to the United Way. When you donate to the United Way, you’re helping the young and the elderly, the frail and the distressed. Consider the list of agencies the United Way supports with funding: Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering, the CNIB, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Community Care and COPE, Community Living, the YWCA, Rose of Durham, Girls Incorporat- ed of Durham, and the list goes on. Imag- ine our communities without these groups and the argument for giving to the United Way becomes stronger and stronger. So, give a little, give a lot, but give and support the United Way’s mandate of strengthening our communities. There are a number of ways to do so, spelled out on the group’s website, www.uwayapu.org. The campaign’s community kick-off, Bon Appetit, is this Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Pickering Recreation Complex (1867 Val- ley Farm Rd.) from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There, you can sample tasty food offered at local eateries such as Havana Nights, Sushi T and T and Burbs Bistro. Where else can you try a Moroccan Chicken Cone while supporting your community? “Wear your stretchy pants,” advises the United Way’s Fran Fegan, noting the word “sample” doesn’t do justice to the portion sizes. Tickets are available at guest services at the Pickering Town Centre. They are also available at the event, but try and bring cash and the exact amount to speed things up. It’s a great way to contribute - and a great way to get the entire family involved. Two adults and two children can get in with a $40 Family Pass, with the young people learning an important lesson from their parents - the importance of helping those who are not as fortunate as they are. This year there’s even a supervised craft table for the young people. Hope to see you there.

After weekly testing by the Durham Re- gion Health Department starting in June, only one beach in Durham had a perfect record this summer with no postings, Pick- ering’s Frenchman’s Bay East. Frenchman’s Bay West came in second, with only one posting the week of July 4. Whitby Beach and Beaverton North Beach also did well, with only two closures this summer. On the flip side, it was the usual beaches that were closed for swimming most of the year. “I would say there are a couple of beaches that are chronically bad every year, Rotary (Park in Ajax) is one and Kinsmen Beach up in Scugog is another,” said Jacques Perreault, manager of environmental health for the Re- gion. “I believe from mid-June and so on it appears they got posted pretty consistently.” The Rotary Park beach was closed 10 out of 13 weeks and Kinsmen Beach was closed 11 weeks. As for the rest of the Region’s beaches, it was a mixed bag. Thorah Centennial Park in Brock, Lakeview East and West in Oshawa and Elgin Pond in Uxbridge were all closed at least half the summer. “There’s no doubt the amount of rainfall and the volume of rain we had consistently, especially in July we had tons of rain, really impacted the beaches,” said Mr. Perreault. Rain washes contaminants from farmers’ fields, roads, driveways and more into the lakes, often causing bacteria counts to ex- plode in beach waters after heavy rains. But, at least one municipality, Ajax, is hoping to do something about the problem. “We had known the levels of bacteria were rising around the waterfront for awhile ... but it had been escalating in the last decade really and reached 100 per cent (beach clos- ings) in 2005,” said Barb Hodgins, senior policy planner for the Town. “That was the tipping point for Ajax council as well as the residents.” Ajax, along with Durham Region, Ontario Power Generation and the provincial and federal government, is funding University of Waterloo research into what’s causing algae to explode along beaches in Ajax and Pickering. The nuisance algae, called Cladophora, often harbour the bacteria that causes the beaches to be closed. “We were seeing the waters being fouled by a lot of algae growth and the algae wash- ing up on the shore,” said Ms. Hodgins. Dr. Ralph Smith is leading the research and says colleagues doing similar work along the Halton shoreline compared the phosphorus input into Lake Ontario from point sources such as sewage treatment plants and found the phosphorus demand of the growing algae was larger than what was being discharged into the lake. The theory now is that the additional phosphorus is coming from zebra mussels, an invasive species from Eastern Europe. “We think the record suggests Cladophora became a problem shortly after the mussels took hold,” said Dr. Smith. The U of W biologists are now looking for correlations between algae growth and nutrient input into the water, looking at the growth and comparing it to the nutrient de- mand of the algae and finally the researchers will try to measure how much phosphorus the mussels are making available. Ms. Hodgins said the algae also harbour tiny shrimp that are eaten by geese and geese excrement may be one of the sources of E. Coli in the waters. And, while wastewater is tested, treated and filtered before it’s discharged, the same isn’t true of storm water, which can carry bacteria into the lakes as well. “Storm water ponds in Ajax do help set- tle out sediments; they’re not designed to treat the quality when it involves things like chemical contaminants and it doesn’t con- trol nutrients necessarily, and certainly not E. Coli,” said Ms. Hodgins. Wet weather blamed for beach closures 2008 beach closings The Region’s health department took weekly samples at Durham’s 15 public beaches, a total of 13 times this summer.

Yet even as they professed their enduring support for the men and women serving overseas, some people gathered on the Brock Street bridge in Whitby Wednes- day afternoon expressed growing concern over the human toll of the conflict. “They should bring them home; there’s too many dying,” said Jeff Hill, wearing a red shirt bearing the “Support Our Troops” slogan as he awaited the procession car- rying the body of Sergeant Scott Shipway, the 97th Canadian sol- dier to die during the Afghanistan mission. People gathering for the repatri- ation made their comments on a day when Prime Minister Stephen Harper reiterated his intention to keep forces in Afghanistan until 2011. Some said that while they ac- knowledge the importance of the mission, the mounting fatalities are troubling. “I have a lot of mixed feelings about it,” Teresa Maly said. “As for the war, it’s necessary, but it causes a lot of grief. “I want to see it come to an end.” Glenna Lee said Canada has a moral obligation to continue to support the people of Afghani- stan, who she said would likely be victimized by vengeful Taliban supporters should Western troops abruptly leave. “I think they’ve got to stay,” she said. “They went in there -- they’ve got to finish the job. “What shape would they be in if we left now?” The crowd grew steadily as the afternoon wore on. They draped Canadian flags over the railing and stared off to the east, awaiting the procession. They chatted and waved to motorists passing on the teeming 401 below, eliciting honks and thumbs-up from truckers as they rumbled by. Then, around a bend appeared the flashing lights of the cortege, several blacks sedans flanked by OPP vehicles with sirens howling. The vehicles passed by, under the pavement of the overpass and out of sight. The crowd began to disperse, folding flags and telling friends they’d see them next time.

There were no lay-offs caused by the closure and consolidation of five Osha- wa schools, trustees heard at the Sept. 8 Durham Cath- olic District School Board meeting. Brock/Scugog/Ux- bridge Trustee Kathy LeFort asked how many custodians and secretaries were laid off. “We didn’t lay off any teachers or staff in those areas,” said Paul Pulla, di- rector of education. Transfers, resignations, and retirements allowed them to be avoided, said Michael Gray, assistant su- perintendent of human re- sources and administrative services. “No lay-offs?” Trustee Le- Fort asked. Mr. Pulla nodded yes. Last school year, the board closed and consoli- dated Canadian Martyrs, Father Francis Mahoney, St. Gregory, Holy Cross and St. Michael Catholic schools. Students were moved to John XXIII, Monsignor Phil- ip Coffey, Sir Albert Love, St. Christopher, St. Hedwig and St. Thomas Aquinas Cath- olic schools. Staffing pro- cesses were completed in respect to collective agree- ments, said a report pre- sented to the board. Those at the schools staying open were able to keep working at their locations. Teach- ers declared surplus were transferred based on their qualifications. In last year’s budget re- view, 69 teachers were deemed unnecessary for the 2008/2009 school year because of declining enrol- ment and budget challeng- es. Of them, 30 were called back to permanent teaching positions and the remaining 39 were offered long-term- occasional teaching posi- tions, says a staff report. Although the school clo- sures didn’t impact second- ary schools, 20 teachers declared surplus because of funding challenges were called back to permanent teaching positions.

Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes. Yet my highly educated dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad would become one of the richest men I had ever known. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities, and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills. Both men were strong, charismatic, and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things. My two dads offered me the perspective of contrasting points of view: a rich man’s view and a poor man’s view. This forced me to think about, and ultimately choose, a new way of thinking for myself. A way of thinking that assures financial security and prosperity!

Under the LEED system, buildings get points for a range of environmentally friendly options, including using recycled building materials, con- serving water and energy and maximizing air quality within the building. There are four levels of certification: LEED Cer- tified; Silver; Gold; and, Platinum. The higher the level, the higher the construction costs, but also the bigger the energy savings. Staff will make a recommendation on which level is best suited for the Region’s buildings. One Durham municipality, Ajax, has already gone the LEED route. The new Ajax fire hall at Rossland Road and Salem Road is the first LEED- certified building in Durham. Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan said she was pleased the Region is heading in the same direc- tion. “It’s the right way to go, it saves money in operating costs and it’s a benefit to the environ- ment,” she said at a recent works meeting. Overall, studies show buildings have a big envi- ronmental footprint. According to the United States Green Build- ing Council, buildings in North America use 25 per cent of wood forest products and 17 per cent of fresh water. They also produce 35 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions and account for 54 per cent of energy consumption on the continent. Studies conducted in Vancouver show LEED- certified buildings may carry an extra initial cost of two per cent, but over their life cycle, they can save 10 times the initial extra capital investment. The study found annual utility savings ranged from 75 cents per square foot to $1.50 per square foot, depending on the level of certification. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he wants to know what kind of impact LEED build- ings would have on the bottom line. “It might be the way to go, but I want to know how much it’s going to cost,” said Mr. Anderson. He’d like to see analyses on current Regional projects. “We’ve got a couple of ambulance sta- tions out right now; find out how much more it would cost to build them to LEED standards.” Region staff will further report on the issue at an October meeting.

Speaking across the street from the General Mo- tors complex on Park Road South, Mr. Layton laid out his party’s six-point plan to strengthen and revitalize manufacturing in Canada, drawing cheers from doz- ens of sign-waving supporters, including laid-off GM and Lear Seating workers. “Here in Oshawa is where it all comes together,” he said. “The crisis in manufacturing, the export of our jobs overseas, the anxious talk that happens at those kitchen tables when you have to come home and tell your family that you just got the pink slip and you don’t know how you’re going to pay the mortgage.” Under the plan, Mr. Layton said the NDP would commit an average of $2 billion a year for a period of four years, to create 40,000 new manufacturing jobs, and tens of thousands of spinoff jobs. Mr. Layton stressed the roughly $8 billion needed to make it work would not come from tax increases, but from rolling back corporate tax cuts given by the Harper government to recipients like banks and big oil companies. The NDP leader also pledged to invest in low- emission vehicle production, train new and dis- placed workers through a Green Collar Jobs Fund, create a jobs commissioner to investigate company shutdowns and stop the export of Canadian jobs overseas with manufacturing-friendly trade policies, including a “made in Canada” procurement policy for the federal government and its agencies. Calling manufacturing communities “the great economic heartland” of Canada, Mr. Layton said cit- ies like Oshawa have been abandoned by the Harper government. He criticized the prime minister and finance minister for saying manufacturing job cuts and plant closings are the working of the market, and called on Oshawa voters to demand a more hands- on approach. “Unlike our prime minister, I’m not just simply going to stand idly by and watch a disaster train wreck unfold in the manufacturing industry,” Mr. Layton said to thunderous applause from sup- porters in red “Manufacturing Matters” T-shirts -- the same ones worn by GM workers who blockaded the company headquarters in June after learning of the truck plant closing.

PR firms jump into ethanol plant debate Council, community member upset by new website By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — The people, the politi- cians and the proponent are not the only ones involved in the debate over whether to allow an ethanol plant at the Oshawa waterfront. As the clock ticks toward council’s vote on the issue, public relations companies are stepping up efforts to massage the message. FarmTech Energy, the compa- ny behind the proposal, has had Toronto firm Sussex Strategy working on its behalf for several months, helping to create pro- motional materials, liaise with council and the City, and drum up support for the proposal. Now a second firm has entered the fray. Website www.supportourport.ca launched near the end of August and was circulated to stakeholders and promoted on popular social networking website Facebook. The site was created by Toron- to advertising agency Drive Strategic and features website links, a survey, a petition in favour of the FarmTech proposal, news stories and video clips. Drive Strategic spokesman Mike Wiles said the company was contracted by “several groups in the industry,” to build the site. Since launching, the Support our Port has created some controversy. On Sept. 2, Oshawa council asked City staff to track down the owners and de- mand that the City’s logo be removed from a section of the site marked “part- ners,” because it implied the City sup- ports the FarmTech proposal, when council has yet to vote on the matter. “Our City logo and identifiers are abso- lutely not to be used without permission, and that is what happened here,” said Councillor Louise Parkes, who moved the motion. Vivian Sled, an officer with Downtown Oshawa Board of Management, also experienced problems when she was prominently featured in a video clip on the site, which indicated she supports the FarmTech proposal. Ms. Sled said she was walking downtown one afternoon last month, when she spotted what ap- peared to be a reporter and videographer interviewing passersby. “They identified themselves as reporters from Toronto and asked to interview me about the eth- anol plant,” she said. “I told them I was the last person who should say anything, because I don’t know enough about the issue yet. But, they pushed and pushed. They said, in lieu of the GM cutbacks, wouldn’t I want to see jobs here?” Ms. Sled said she wants to see jobs and industry come to Oshawa, but she was clear she did not want to comment on the FarmTech proposal. “Then they edited what I said to make it look like I offered my support, and it was put on the site,” she said. The video in question and the City of Oshawa logo have now been removed from the site. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 12, 2008 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 12, 2008 PAGE 15 Pdurhamregion.com FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 ADDICTION: The Seren- ity Group 12-step recovery meeting begins at 8 p.m. at Bayfair Baptist Church, 817 Kingston Rd., Pickering.

The seven-year-old is chatty and energetic. He likes drawing, building Lego creations and has a soft spot for animals. He also has partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), a condition that re- sults from prenatal exposure to alco- hol. In Philip’s case, FAS manifests itself in sudden violent rages, ultra sensitiv- ity to sound and a literal way of think- ing that makes it tough for him to func- tion in a traditional classroom, follow directions or understand concepts like punishment and reward. Because his disability doesn’t an- nounce itself with a wheelchair or physical traits, people are often quick to judge, staring when he acts out or admonishing his parents. “We’ve had people at the park say he shouldn’t be allowed to play here, he shouldn’t be mixing with other kids, because of his behaviour,” said his mom Sharan Manship. “Would they say that about another child with a disability? No. It’s because this is invis- ible.” FAS and Alcohol Related Neurologi- cal Disorder make up a broad umbrella category called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. These disorders are the leading cause of life-long developmental and cognitive disabilities among Canadian children, affecting up to one in 100 births. Hundreds of children and fami- lies in Durham Region are affected. FASD can embody an array of physi- cal and psychiatric problems from learning disabilities and lower than normal IQ to aggression, attention deficit, difficult socializing and poor short-term memory. It is a life-long condition. A child with FASD becomes an adult with FASD. Studies show these adults have a much higher chance of being unem- ployed, homeless or in trouble with the law. This week, International FASD Awareness Day was observed on Sept. 9 in Durham and communities around the world. The annual event aims to bring awareness to FASD, so children and families living with the disorder find more support and compassion -- and to drive home the fact that no amount of alcohol has been proven to be safe during pregnancy. Ms. Manship -- who works at Lak- eridge Health Oshawa -- said educa- tional efforts like the FASD displays at the hospital this week, are helpful. But she worries that there remains a lack of awareness about the disorder, which can be devastating for children who are labelled as bad seeds and strug- gling parents who are the recipients of stares and glares when their kids act out. She and her wife Amanda adopted Philip from the Toronto Children’s Aid Society when he was 19 months old. At that time, his file contained no risk factors for FAS. When he began experiencing prob- lems -- delayed speech, fighting with other kids at day care -- his mothers wrote it off as adjusting to adoption or to the “terrible twos.” Then, there were two years of wrong diagnoses from doctors. It wasn’t until they visited a FAS clinic with their second adopted son -- who was at risk for the syndrome -- that they realized what they were seeing with Philip were textbook FAS behaviours. “It was like someone turning on a light,” Ms. Manship said. “Even though all his symptoms fall under the FAS umbrella, no one ever mentioned it to us. There needs to be more education about this in the health care field.” Once the diagnosis was in, Toronto CAS did some digging and discovered Philip’s birth mother did drink heavily during her pregnancy. The last few years have been a whirl- wind of trial and error for Philip and his parents, as they navigate an unpre- dictable disorder that touches every corner of their lives. “FAS becomes your life, you’re not very interesting to talk to, because all you do is deal with the behaviour and try to learn more about the behaviour and go to support groups, things like that,” Ms. Manship said. Philip is now attending Grade 2 in a special behaviour class -- one he has already been suspended from four times for acting out. Daily tasks like getting him to put a coat on or go to bed can be exhausting battles of wits, as his moms struggle to find ways to give instructions in a way that appeals to his unique sense of logic. He has good patches and bad, but even when things are going well, his parents still can’t exhale, worrying about what the coming years will hold.

Smith, 2008 fundraising campaign chair- man, said to Ajax council on Mon- day, adding programs receiving aid have to meet the highest pos- sible standards for delivering aid. Dozens of programs and agen- cies receive funding annually. Using the slogan ‘Support Your Way’, people can be “confident the money will be directed to where it’s needed the most,” Mr. Smith said. “The United Way is vital to the well-being of this communi- ty.” He was seeking the Town’s con- tinued financial commitment to the United Way, asking Ajax to again pledge $3.19 per household. “Maybe it’s time to look at an in- crease in the pledge.” The Town included $101,500 in this year’s budget for the United Way. While the request is made in September, a decision isn’t made until budget deliberations are held in the spring. One in three people turn to the United Way for services each year, he said. Contributions have meant “9,400 children are able to learn without being hungry and 1,500 children have escaped violence at home,” Mr. Smith said. In the past two years, the United Way has failed to reach its target of $1.9 million. The goal for this year is $1.75 million. The request was referred to the 2009 budget deliberations. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 18 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 12, 2008 United Way seeking Ajax support with fundraising campaign Regional chairman makes honour roll DURHAM — Regional chairman Roger Anderson’s peers recognized his work to advance the interests of municipal governments by naming him to the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario’s honour roll. “Roger Anderson has been a member of AMO’s Board of Direc- tors for almost 18 years and I am personally grateful for the support he has given me as a past president of AMO,” said Doug Reycraft, who recently completed a stint as AMO president. In addition to serving as an Ajax councillor in the 1980s, a Durham regional councillor in the 1990s and chairman of the Region since 1997, Mr. Anderson served as AMO president from 2004 to 2006. AMO’s honour roll recognizes people who step up beyond their normal roles and advocated for municipalities provincially and na- tionally. During Mr. Anderson’s term as president, AMO secured a feder- al gas tax sharing agreement for Ontario’s municipalities, gained provincial legislation that required Ontario government ministries to consult with municipalities on changes that could affect them, and advanced major changes to the Ontario Municipal Board, the Planning Act and the Municipal Act. Mr. Anderson was honoured at a gala dinner on Aug. 26. Fact #1 ‹ A great example. Community support during the last several years has meant so much to the current redevelopment of emergency and related services at the Ajax and Pickering hospital campus.

Plastics diverted and repurposed from our own landfill sites provide durable and environmentally friendly materials for decking, docks, fences and landscaping. Main- tenance free and easy to install, plastic lumber can be cut with a regular carbide tip blade, routed, drilled, nailed and screwed. A project built with plastic lumber will not rot, splinter, decay or become infested with termites. Plastic lumber also comes in a variety of colours eliminating the need for staining. Experts in diverted plastics, The Plastic Lumber Depot has been family owned and operated since 1988. They are proud to introduce Truemarc composite decking. Truemarc has evolved into a superior decking product that is changing the deck- ing industry using a production technique resulting in the most realistic wood grain pattern that gives you the look of wood. Using PVC technology with a class A fire rating, no pre-drilling is required and Truemarc naturally prevents the build-up of mold, mildew and bacterial growth. A patented design allows for easy installation and you will have the choice of using screws or a unique hidden fastening system for a screw free surface. Truemarc is built to last and comes with a 25-year limited manufacturer’s warranty. Truemarc boards are currently available in 12 and 16 foot lengths, suitable for even the most expansive deck. What makes Truemarc unique in today’s market is that this low maintenance deck- ing material doesn’t contain any preservatives, chemicals or additives commonly found in pretreated lumber. The elements are no match for Truemarc either. Weatherproofing is not required because the innovative cellular PVC technology used in all Truemarc decking pro- vides minimal fading and weathering characteristics. Colours will gradually lighten over time, but will still maintain an attractive, deep appearance. Truemarc decking is simple to care for. Periodic cleaning with soap and water is required to sustain the life of your deck. Truemarc is available at The Plastic Lumber Depot at 172 Hunt Street in Ajax. Wooden decks are enjoyable additions to any home, but like most natural prod- ucts, require maintenance to keep them in top shape. Depending on the size of the deck, maintenance can be very time consuming and expensive. With Truemarc you can have the look of a beautiful wooden deck without the maintenance that wood requires. The Plastic Lumber Depot invites you to see the quality of plastic lumber for your- self. Call today 905-426-1755 or email the team at sales@plasticlumberdepot.com for further information.

What about a second fridge in the basement that holds a couple of pop bottles and a big jar of pickles or a deep freezer with seven months worth of food? Maybe it’s time to downsize. Older, secondary fridges and oversized deep freezers are a big drain on Ontario’s electricity grid and may be costing residents between $120 and $150 on their electricity bills. “Many people don’t realize just how costly these older, inefficient, secondary fridges are on the electricity system and on their hydro bill,” said Bill Wylie, program manager at the Ontario Power Authority. “It’s important for people to purchase the right size refrigerator to suit their needs. The larger the fridge, the larger its electric- ity needs.” Wylie explains that replacing your old refrigerator or freezer with an ENERGY STAR qualified model that fits your household’s needs can help to reduce your electricity bill. When purchasing a new fridge, consider the number of people that will be using it. ENERGY STAR provides the following guidelines as reference for purchasing a new refrigerator: One or two people - 12 cubic feet, Three or four people - 14 to 17 cubic feet, Each additional person - add 2 cubic feet. To ensure you buy the most energy-efficient fridge, look for the ENERGY STAR symbol and consider the fridge’s design.

By replacing an old faucet with a new water-efficient model, like the Lahara low flow faucet from Delta, you will add a sleek and stylish focal point in the space while saving money on your monthly water bill. Spa Dreams: Installing a luxurious shower system doesn’t have to be expensive. For example, Delta’s Victorian Jetted Shower System complete with spray jets and a rain can showerhead will add a spa feel to the bathroom at an affordable price point. Make it shine: Correct lighting can make your bathroom feel more welcoming - use energy efficient light bulbs that will not only brighten dark corners, but save you money and help the environment at the same time.

The Town of Ajax’s building inspector issued a conditional building permit for the new school, allowing the general con- tractor to start site and foundation work while the board’s ar- chitect finishes the site-plan-approval process, says a report presented to the Durham Catholic District School Board at its Sept. 8 meeting. The 68-year-old St. Bernadette Catholic School is being replaced with an $8.9-million school, slated for a June 2009 completion. The new two-storey school will be built behind the current one and accommodate 572 students, have a large circular drop-off area at the front door, and a large forecourt with an open concept chapel and meeting place. The contractor has set up the construction area at St. Bernadette, beginning the work, and the site-plan-approval process should be completed by the end of this month or in early October.

Her daughter Madison was diagnosed with kidney disease five years ago and had to have both kidneys removed. Ms. McLaren donated one of her kidneys to her daughter. Now 10, Madison’s wish was to go on a Disney cruise and “we’ll never be able to thank the Children’s Wish Founda- tion enough. It brought our family back together,” Ms. McLaren said to Ajax council on Monday. Going on the cruise gave her daughter the chance to “re- place memories of the hospi- tal” with fun ones, she said. In addition to being a “wish mom,” Ms. McLaren is also the chairwoman of the founda- tion’s Wishmaker Parade. The event is on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at the St. An- drew’s Community Centre, on Exeter Road in Ajax. Registra- tion starts at 10 a.m. and the parade gets underway at 11 a.m. “I hope you can participate or pledge walkers. You can challenge Pickering on who can raise the most money,” Ms. McLaren said. “We’ll see what we can do to challenge Pickering,” Mayor Steve Parish said. “It’s not much of a challenge, but we’ll see what we can do.” Ward 2 local Councillor Ren- rick Ashby said he’s been a member of the parade plan- ning committee for three years. “I see the impact it has on lives,” he said.

The style is called encaustic painting and she fell in love with it years ago. “It’s an ancient type of painting that’s be- come more popular recently,” she said. “It’s a beeswax-based paint, wax mixed with a natural resin. I have to paint with melted paint on a hot plate. It layers colour on top of colour.” Her works are on display now at the Kent Farndale Gallery, located in Scugog Memo- rial Public Library in Port Perry. Fisher heats the various colours of paint on a hot plate and then brushes it onto her canvas, usually wood panels. She works in layers of colours and must fuse a new layer to the one underneath. To do this she uses tools such as heat guns. The encaustic style “was invented by the Greeks 2,500 years ago. There have been examples excavated in Egypt and you swear it’d been painted just yesterday,” Fisher said. Encaustic, in Greek, means burning or fusing. (Fisher doesn’t burn the paints but gently heats it in order to fuse layers.) An artist for 20 years, Fisher first came across encaustic painting as a student at Concordia University. (She has her fine arts degree from there, along with a masters in art and anthropology from Trent.) Students were shown a video of contemporary artist Jasper Johns painting with this method. Fisher said he basically brought the style into the forefront in North America. “I was mesmerized by watching him painting with the liquid, luscious colour on canvas.” She decided then and there she would some day paint in this style. But it wasn’t until 2000 that she did. She’d looked for formulas, trying to discover one that wasn’t too toxic. In 2000, she found a paint com- pany which gave workshops in encaustic, using a formula that was as non-toxic as possible. This was just before her first ex- hibit at the gallery in Port Perry. “I came home and had an epiphany, scraped all my paintings down and started all over. I haven’t painted in anything since,” she said. Rebirth of the Countryside, the title of her display in Port Perry, are landscapes, with paintings merged with her photographs. Fisher’s background is in photography and graphics. “I’m using landscape images from around the Kawarthas and the Haliburton area -- my backyard. It’s ... a celebration of spring in the Kawarthas. I’m very inspired by land- scapes, architecture. I think I may be one of the most Canadian artists. I’m always inspired by the change of the seasons.” Demonstrations of the encaustic style might not be possible but Fisher loves to talk to people about how she works. She did so at the opening reception on Sept. 6. She also teaches the encaustic method at her studio and in workshops through in Haliburton and other parts of Ontario. Her works will be on display through Oct. 2. The gallery is at 231 Water St. MONSTER BINGO www.deltabingo.com $$25,00025,000 PRIZE BOARD! Don’t be disappointed!

Take a hike, sample wine, pick some apples exploring Durham By Betty Zyvatkauskas Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Kicking through a pile of leaves on a hiking trail is one of the great pleasures of autumn. No wonder Sept. 22 to 28 is Ontario Hiking Week. The Durham Regional Forest, a protect- ed conservation land high on the Oak Ridges moraine, is criss-crossed with four looping trails ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 kilometres in length –- each perfect for an afternoon hike. Sculpted by glaciers, these sandy hills are covered with a thick canopy of forest, home to downy woodpeckers, white-tailed deer and cottontail rabbits. But this picture wasn’t al- ways so idyllic. When early settlers cut the original white pine and oak forests, they un- wittingly unleashed an environmental night- mare. Without trees, heavy rains washed away the topsoil. In the 1920s, massive plantings of pine started to turn things around. Now those trees are mature and a new forest of native trees is growing up underneath. Sugar maples, red oaks and beech are thriving. For a place that was a wasteland less then a century ago, this is a richly varied forest with mushrooms emerg- ing from the leaf litter, deer hoof prints in the sandy soil and grouse flying up from the underbrush. For a trail map, visit www.lsrca. on.ca/Recreation/HikingTrails.html. The well-drained sandy slopes of the Oak Ridges Moraine also make for excellent or- chards. Ocala Orchards, south of Port Perry, www.ocalawinery.com, is known for its wide range of fruit wines made with apples, berries and grapes grown on their farm. On Sept. 13 and 14, Ocala celebrates the season with its annual Harvest Festival, a free event featuring wagon tours through 15 acres of orchards and 20 acres of vineyards to see the fruit before it’s picked. Winery tours and tastings follow, with grape juice for children, in the converted, cen- tury-old dairy barn. Be sure to check out the new honey crisp apple wine and the northern hardy kiwi wine. “The kiwi fruit had an amazing year be- cause they like it a little on the wet side,” said Ocala’s Alissa Smith. “The kiwi wine has been very popular for its citrusy-leechee flavour.” Pick-your-own apple season started on Sept. 6 at Nature’s Bounty, www.natures- bountyfarm.com, a family-friendly farm with sheep, pumpkins and 18 varieties of apples. At Archibald Orchards, www.archibaldswinery. com, known for its outstanding apple wines, including the award-winning spiced winter apple, the pick-your-own season starts Sept. 13, weather depending.

The Ajax Attack plays its OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock- ey league home opener against the Peterborough Stars at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. Of special significance is an appearance by Canadian singer Michael Burgess who’ll sing the national anthem prior to the game. The Attack played its sea- son opener against the same Peter- borough Stars squad in Peterborough on Satur- day, with the result unavailable at press time. Meanwhile, the Pickering Pan- thers square off against the Lind- say Muskies in their home opener at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex at 6:30 p.m. The Panthers will attempt to recover from a disastrous season opener when they were drubbed 8-2 by the Port Hope Predators in Port Hope last Friday night. Next weekend, both clubs will compete in the league’s annual Governors’ Showcase at Bowman- ville’s Garnet B. Rickard Sports Complex. The Attack plays the Upper Can- ada Hockey Club of the OPJHL Phillips (North) Division on Sat- urday, Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. The Panthers will face the Brampton Capitals of the MacKinnon (West) Division on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. All 37 OPJHL teams will see action in Bowmanville, with all games counting in the regular-sea- son standings.

Ajax swimmer in synch for London Olympics Maclean comes off solid season, fifth at junior worlds By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — A winner in the water since getting her feet wet in the sport of synchronized swimming at age 7, Julia Maclean has come off a season that has placed her among the world’s elite. And, after completing her sec- ond year on the Canadian ju- nior national synchro team, and helping the Canucks to a solid fifth-place finish at worlds, the 10-year member of the Durham Synchro Club is eager for more. Admittedly, Maclean, 16, had more than a passing interest in tuning into the Beijing Olympic Games last month and watch- ing Canada’s women’s swimmers compete. She hopes in four years, when the Olympic Games recon- vene in London, England, she’ll be among the synchro swimmers who’ll perform for Canada on the biggest international stage. “The Olympics, definitely,” said Maclean as to her immedi- ate future in synchro swimming. “The trials are in the fall for the Olympic team for 2012. I’ll do what I can to make the team. If I don’t make it, I’ll go to trials in a year and keep on trying out for the 2012 Olympic team. “Seeing (the Olympics), I want to get back competing again. I see that it could be me in four years.” She’s hoping the up-and-com- ers in the synchro swim program in Canada will be the ones to put the country on a higher plain internationally. “We’re very close up there. Other countries have been beat- ing us by a small amount, so we’re very close to being back on the podium. We used to domi- nate, but we slowly dropped down.” In fact, Maclean and her Cana- dian junior teammates trained alongside the Canadian Olympic team in Montreal for two months through May and June of this year. The workload in the pool, not to mention keeping up on all her schoolwork, was rigorous to say the least. “We train 22 hours a week with Durham Synchro; with the Cana- dian team we trained nine hours a day. It became a full-time job almost,” said Maclean. Despite the heavy workload, she wouldn’t have traded the ex- perience for anything. “It was really good. The girls on the team are fun to be around. The billet families were just like a second family.” Maclean was one of 10 Cana- dians, the only Ontarian, to rep- resent the country at the junior worlds in St. Petersburg, Rus- sia in July. There, every country performed a routine in front of the judges, with the Canadians finishing a solid fifth out of 32 countries. And, in the figures event, each swimmer performed four el- ements in front of the judges. In the end, Maclean was fourth among the Canadians and 56th in the world. The experience at junior worlds was bittersweet, noted Maclean, being both pleased with the team’s effort at worlds, but disappointed to end the team competition just shy of a medal. “To finish fifth as a team was not our goal; our goal was to fin- ish third and get a medal. But, we did a good job and the coach- es said we did amazing.” Maclean said she didn’t plan initially to be involved in synchro swimming, but once in the pool performing as part of a team, the sport has become a staple in her life. “I had never heard of it before. Before I was done swimming lessons my cousin was in syn- chro swimming and they needed another swimmer for the team. That year, we finished first at provincials. We did really well, so I just stuck with it.” Maclean noted she simply en- joys the challenge of the sport and the friendships she’s made over the years. “It’s way harder than it looks. It looks so easy and so beautiful in the water and the swimmers all move in unison. I have a lot of friendships, the girls at the club are my best friends, and they have been for nine years.” AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo After many successes in synchronized swimming during her 10 years with the Durham Synchro Club, Ajax’s Julia Maclean, 16, hopes to compete for Canada at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England. Fast facts This past season, Julia Ma- clean has been a top-10 junior competitor at every level, either in team, duet or solo events. At the provincials in Etobi- coke last February, the Durham Synchro Tier 7 team placed sec- ond in the junior 16-18 category. In duet, Maclean placed second with partner Carrie Mouck.

Clarke Richardson Collegiate Storm of Ajax. Both senior football teams took part in the Pine Ridge jamboree pre-sea- son football event at the Pickering school on Wednesday. Pickering soccer teams oh so close in Ontario Cup finals Cougars, Power Pythons edged in respective U14 games in Vaughan PICKERING — Pickering Soc- cer Club rep teams lost by the slimmest of margins in the On- tario Cup finals in Vaughan last weekend. The Pickering Cougars boys’ under-14 rep soccer team was de- feated 4-3 on a Golden Goal by the Unionville-Milliken Strikers in the championship game last Saturday. Meanwhile, a late goal by the Newmarket United Lasers lift- ed them to a 2-1 win over the Pickering Power Pythons in the girls’ under-14 Ontario Cup final, also played last Saturday. In the U14 boys’ championship final, Unionville-Milliken took a 2-0 lead after the first half. But, the Cougars were unwilling to con- cede anything to the Strikers. In fact, Pickering scored the first two goals to open the second half, first by Peter Boylan and the second goal coming from Patrick Conley, who finished off a free-kick. The game seemed to be headed to extra time when Unionville- Milliken scored to give the Strik- ers a 3-2 lead in the late going. In injury time, Pickering went on a full-out attempt to keep the ball in Unionville-Milliken terri- tory. As a result, a Pickering for- ward was brought down inside the 18-yard box, with the referee awarding a penalty shot to the Cougars. Keishon Alcindor-Bar- rett scored the equalizer to give Pickering new life. In the second half of Golden Goal extra time, Sergio Camargo worked himself loose just outside the Pickering box and fired a drive that dipped under the cross-bar to give the Strikers the win and the Ontario Cup. Unionville-Milliken coach Kevin Kerr gave kudos to the Cou- gars, noting they “really stepped up today.” Cougars’ coach Mike Reynolds noted his club played hard to get to the Ontario Cup, and played even harder in the final, but it wasn’t meant to be. “It was a great achievement to get to the Ontario Cup this year,” he said. With the Ontario Cup victory, Unionville-Milliken will move on to the U14 national champion- ships in P.E.I. next month. Meanwhile, in the U14 girls’ final, the Power Pythons domi- nated the first half of play and were rewarded early in the sec- ond half. In the 41st minute, Cyan Jean-Baptiste out-manoeuvred the Newmarket goalie to put the ball into the net for the opening goal of the game. Newmarket, however, tied the game in the 69th minute after a scramble in front of the Pickering net. Ten minutes later, Newmarket tallied again with a shot finding the top left corner of the Pickering net. Pickering was awarded a free kick in the late going, but a solid save by the Newmarket goalkeep- er preserved the win for the La- sers. Pickering Power Pythons coach Nixon Bernardino noted his charges were on the cusp of hand- ing Newmarket a rare defeat, but came up just shy of the mark. “We managed to get it close the last couple of years and close the gap, but this time around (at the Ontario Cup) it still wasn’t enough,” he said.

In Loving Memory Of our Special Angel Holly Gail Ventress One year ago God took you home, September 14, 2007 To the dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here there are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on." God gave me a list of things he wishes for me to do. And foremost on that list, was to watch and care for you. But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free, Remember you're not going... you're coming home to me. You will never be forgotten. Loving you always and forever, Mom, Dad, Carley, and Steven In loving memory of Carl M. Sheppard June 23, 1944 to September 14, 2007 God called your name so softly, That only you could hear, No one heard the footsteps , Of the angels drawing near. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by Your wife Florence, daughter Michelle (Keith), son Monte (Kristal) and grandchildren, Renee, Ryan, Ashley and Brittany. Card of Thanks The family of the late Carl Sheppard Would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to all the extended family and friends who encouraged and helped us through Carl's illness and passing. Thank you for your cards, flowers and your support. A special thank you to Roberta (sister) who was there for us through this difficult time. Thank you to Pastor Jason Luscombe, Harold Burt, Chris and Rosin McConville, Al Arsenault, Julie Trojan and all the family at Southside Worship Centre. Thank you to Richard Chandler and a special thanks to Joanne S and Pam D, nurses from Care Partners, for your compassion and caring.

Death Notices Durham Windows and Doors Brings Mobile Showroom To Your Door Wayne Hutchison brings to the replacement window and door business a new and long overdue feature. It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” explains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 26 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs windows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579-2222 or 1-888-576- 8575. Want to know what’s happening in Pickering? BE INFORMED!
