At its April 18 meeting, Regional Council entered into a debate over hockey scuffles, ending with the decision to endorse a resolution advocating a ban. The Middlesex-London Board of Health is calling for all orga- nized amateur hockey leagues in Ontario to be petitioned to pro- hibit fights. The motion passed at Durham council in a 15-to-10 vote. “We often receive, for consid- eration for endorsement, resolu- tions requesting support for public health to advocate for the banning of fighting in amateur hockey,” said Robert Kyle, Durham Region’s medical officer of health. “Durham Region doesn’t regulate amateur hockey in Ontario, but what it can do is make statements on public health issues in society.” The health department will ✦ See Most, Page 4 Education and programs key to reducing numbers, officials say By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Pickering resi- dents, firefighters and city officials gathered at City Hall on April 27 to mourn those affected by injuries in the workplace. April 28 has been recognized as Canada’s Day of Mourning since the Canadian Labour Congress ex- ecutive council made the declara- tion in 1984. The day is meant for people to gather and mourn the lives lost in the workplace or those who continue to suffer from occu- pational injuries and disease. It is recognized in more than 70 coun- tries, and by the provincial and federal governments. Pickering held its memorial in front of City Hall, followed by a flag-lowering ceremony. “Although we are gathered here once a year for this important cer- emony, we must remember that workplace safety is an everyday issue,” Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said. He noted more than 1,000 work- ers are killed on the job every year across Canada, while thousands more become permanently dis- abled and others die from diseases caused by exposure to toxic sub- stances. “However, lets not forget that these statistics we’re referring to are actual people,” he said. He referred to Antonio Almei- da, a Toronto Transit Commit- tee maintenance worker recently crushed by a steel platform. Coun. Johnson said from his understand- ing, human error caused his death and although he doesn’t want to point fingers, awareness must be reinforced. “This really disturbs me, because it means that this was a senseless tragedy and was 100 per cent pre- ✦ See City’s, Page 4 AJ Groen / News Advertiser photo PICKERING — The City of Pickering held a National Day of Mourning Friday afternoon for workers killed and injured in the workplace.

Ride the Rocket to The Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre and Toronto Centre for the Arts Clay Bee: Amy Vangsgard Candidate ‘learned from an expert’ Tory says By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Just 15 hours after winning the provin- cial Progressive Conserva- tive nomination for Ajax- Pickering Riding, Kevin Ashe began campaigning. Joining him were party leader John Tory and Whitby-Ajax MPP Chris- tine Elliott during an event at Papps Restaurant in Pickering Friday. On Thursday, Mr. Ashe, a former Catholic school board trustee and Pickering councillor, beat current Ajax councillor Shaun Collier for the nomination. About 500 people attended the nomi- nation meeting, held at the Deer Creek Golf and Coun- try Club. The next provincial elec- tion is set for Wednesday, Oct. 10 and speaking to a handful of party support- ers on Friday, Mr. Ashe predicted “very early in the evening, CTV will project a Progressive Conservative government.” (With the provincial elec- tion, the riding boundar- ies will change and be the same as the federal bound- aries. Currently, Ajax and Pickering are in a provincial riding with Uxbridge.) Mr. Tory said he worked for Kevin’s father, George Ashe, a former PC MPP and cabinet minister. “Like father, like son. Kevin learned form an ex- pert. We are slowly but sure- ly assembling a great team,” Mr. Tory stated. Ms. Elliott and Mr. Ashe are similar in that “they un- derstand their community, they’re involved in the com- munity.” He also took shots at Pre- mier Dalton McGuinty, say- ing he’s known for breaking promises and “putting par- tisan interests ahead of the people. “This area needs a solu- tion to gridlock. You can’t have people sitting in their cars for hours and hours. We need Kevin Ashe to fight for a fair deal for the east GTA,” Mr. Tory said. On health care and the hospital, “the Liberals have done next to nothing. We need someone to go into the legislature every day and stand up and say ‘enough is enough’,” Mr. Tory said. The PCs will form the next government only if they “work harder and cam- paign harder” than their op- ponents. “We want to change the style of government, to stop wasting of taxpayers’ money and breaking of promises.” In an interview, Mr. Ashe said it’s important to have a candidate ready about six months before the election. “People are fed up with the broken promises. Our riding has a great tradition of Conservatives,” he stated, pointing to his father, Janet Ecker and Ms. Elliott. “It’s important to get the candidate out and working hard, knocking on doors, stuffing envelopes.” Also, with the ridings being realigned, “there’s no Liberal incumbent,” he noted. Mr. Tory agreed having a candidate selected sooner rather than later was impor- tant, noting Mr. Ashe would have to “run harder and longer” to reclaim a riding the PCs don’t hold. “Kevin Ashe is well known in the community. That will help him. He can spend more time getting to the doors, listening to people’s concerns,” Mr. Tory stated in an interview. Being se- lected in April will “stand him in good stead.” Two issues he’ll be push- ing are representation and leadership. The Liberals and New Democratic Party are yet to select candidates.

Former co-chairman of the Pickering Fire Depart- ment’s joint health and safety committee, Captain Gerry Pedwell, continues to share injury prevention education among firefight- ers. “Fire’s a very dangerous place to operate so we’re always looking after our workers as best we can,” he said. He’s also a member of the Ontario Professional Firefighters Association and International Association of Firefighters health and safety committees. He said most deaths in North Amer- ica among firefighters re- sult from vehicle accidents when responding to fires. “We’re striving to get fire- fighters to buckle up and use their seat belts and (en- courage) better emergency driving awareness to try and reduce those numbers,” he said. All speakers agreed the best way to prevent inju- ries and death at work is through ongoing education and awareness campaigns. The City’s chief executive officer, Tom Quinn, direct- ed a complete health and safety audit in 2006, which has provided a blueprint for action, and has commit- ted the entire organization to advance the health and safety program in 2007. “It is our mission and obligation to each other to make sure this does not happen,” he said. DURHAM — A new bill to protect children playing amateur sports passed sec- ond reading in the legisla- ture this week. Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouel- lette introduced Bill 201, which would require all coaches, referees, manag- ers and officials to be sub- ject to criminal background checks in order to partici- pate in organized amateur sports with children under 18 years of age. The bill will now move forward and has been re- ferred to the Standing Com- mittee on Social Policy. “As a parent and a minor hockey coach, I know that protecting our children from convicted offenders is a serious matter,” said Mr. Ouellette. “I am pleased the bill has passed second reading and I look forward to public committee hearings to fine- tune the legislation such that children are protected to the best of our ability while involved in valuable organized sports.” All members who spoke in the Legislature offered praise and support in mov- ing Mr. Ouellette’s bill for- ward. While many sports as- sociations in Ontario have already developed similar policies dealing with pro- tecting children, there are no provincial minimum standards or guidelines that require mandatory criminal background checks.

The most common are among young men aged 10–19. According to SMAR- TRISK, a national non-prof- it organization dedicated to preventing injuries, ap- proximately 35 per cent of hockey injuries requiring hospitalization occurred as a result of striking against or bumping into another person.

Advertorial Sobeys Celebrates its 100th Birthday! Anniversary Celebrations Nationwide From left to right: Graham Foster – North Ajax Sobeys and John Alderkin – South Ajax Sobeys In the pantheon of Canadian history, it’s a little known fact that 1907 marks the birth of a Canadian company deeply rooted in Atlantic Canada, and a presence nationwide. In 1905, J.W. Sobey, his wife Eliza and their young son Frank moved to Stellarton Nova Scotia where in 1907, J.W. started a meat de- livery business. With a horse-drawn meat cart, he purchased and collected livestock from lo- cal farmers for resale. At age 16, Frank enrolled in a business college where he learned practical skills such as typing, accounting and the value of per- centages that car- ried him through- out his life as one of Canada’s most successful entrepreneurs. In 1924, Frank Sobey persuaded his fa- ther to expand the family business from meat and a few local vegetables into a full line of groceries. The modern Sobeys grocery chain was born. Members of the Sobey family all contributed in some way to the store in its early days, but it was Frank’s ideas and dedication that launched the small family business into the national grocery retailer that it is today. Today, Sobeys is still headquartered in Stel- larton, Nova Scotia with operations across the country. The company is well-estab- lished as a leading national grocery retailer and food distributor. The Company owns or franchises more than 1,300 stores, em- ploying more than 75,000 people in all 10 provinces under retail banners that include Sobeys, IGA, Foodland and Price Chopper. “As Sobeys continues to grow and expand, one thing doesn’t change - our time-tested ap- proach to serving our customers,” says Craig Gilpin, President Operations for Sobeys On- tario Region. “We are a diversified food dis- tributor committed to growth in all each mar- ket we serve by consistently exceeding our customers’ expectations through the strength of our dedicated employees. Our success lies in 100 years of superior customer service, excellent product variety and competitive operations.” These basic con- cepts have been part of the way Sobeys has done business for the past 100 years. And they are threaded through every aspect of Sobeys’ business today. From stores to distribution centres to the head office, they filter through every level of the company in an effort to offer its wide customer base a reward- ing shopping experience. “We are incredibly proud to be celebrating 100 years of operation and our success is testament to the dedication of all of the em- ployees who have served our customers over the first century,” says Gilpin. “We thank our employees and customers, both past and present, for helping create a Canadian suc- cess story and we look forward to our next 100 years in business.” Major Credit Cards Accepted Visit Us At: www.lux-limo.com L UX L IMO S ERVICES B OOK F OR S PECIAL E VENTS , B IRTHDAYS , A NNIVERSARY ’ S , C ASINO ’ S , N IGHTS O N T HE T OWN OR ANY T OURIST D ESTINATION .

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Feds on right course with climate plan P rime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative minority government are in a can’t-win situation when it comes to the environment. If they try to meet Canada’s Kyoto targets -- to cut Cana- da’s greenhouse gas emissions by six per cent below 1990 levels -- they risk badly hurting the economy. However, if they don’t act fast to cut emissions by a large, measurable amount, recent polls suggest they’ll take a political beat- ing. The only solution to such a dilemma was the one the feds came up with: a compromise that sees action taken in the near and long term but which allows industries the time needed to adapt to new, tougher emission regula- tions. After a stumble earlier this week that saw the new plan leaked a few days ahead to the Liberals, Environ- ment Minister John Baird came out with the climate plan, dubbed Turning the Corner. The details of the plan are as follows: a short-term emis- sion reduction of 18 per cent by 2010 based on 2006 levels; a 20-per-cent reduction of all emissions by 2020; a blend of meeting targets by either reducing emissions, contribut- ing to a technology fund or trading emissions; mandatory fuel-efficiency standards to start in model year of 2011; and national emission caps for air pollutants by 2012. The cost to the economy is estimated to be, at worst, about $8 billion per year. But the feds predict that $6.4 billion in annual health benefits will be realized by 2015 because of a reduced risk of death and illness. One of the major publicity points of the announcement was that old-style light bulbs would be phased out by 2012 to be replaced by high-efficiency bulbs. There was the predictable opposition criticism that al- ways greets such government announcements. The chief gripe among Liberals, NDP, Green and Bloc Quebecois representatives is that the government is not moving fast enough and with deep enough emissions targets. Such complaints fail to address the lack of action by the Liberals from 1997-2005 on Kyoto. If the governments of Jean Chretien and, subsequently, Paul Martin had acted years ago, the Tories would have less cleaning up to do now. As it is Mr. Harper has chosen a sensible, manageable course that meets the demands both of industry and of the environment. Make street-racing laws much tougher To the editor: Re: April 22 editorial, ‘Increased fines mean safer roads’. I am in full agreement that we need safer roads... but I have a couple of questions. First, how many of these 16- to 19-year-olds involved in this street racing have $2,000 to $10,000 in their pocket to pay these increased fines? I would say the answer is zero. Are the parents going to be held responsible for this fine if the drivers can’t pay it, and if not, why not? What is the point of increasing the fine, if they can’t collect the money from anyone? I think the police should have the right to impound these cars immediately, but suspend the driving licences for just seven days? Put some teeth in the law and suspend their driv- ing licence for at least five years and if there is an accident involved as a result of this street racing, give them a five-year prison term to be served for the full five years! Earl Brown Oshawa A ir emissions, health and the envi- ronment are legitimate concerns when considering energy-from- waste (EFW) as a means of dealing with Durham’s garbage. Residents are right in passionately questioning the technol- ogy, its effect on diversion, truck traffic and site location, as they did at the most recent round of public information ses- sions held in Clarington. But, it was clear many haven’t fol- lowed the process up to this point and aren’t privy to the groundwork the Re- gion has laid. As the story goes, a long time ago, the Region realized garbage was getting to be a problem and Regional Coun- cil passed a resolution saying no more landfills. Then in the mid 90s, Durham started shipping waste to Michigan, but even then it was recognized that trucking trash across the border was no good. So about seven years ago council developed a long-term waste management strategy. Part of the plan was to maximize diver- sion and then figure out a homegrown way of dealing with what was left over. Ergo council started down the road to a long-term waste management solution. It implemented the blue box and green bin programs and set out to identify how they would deal with garbage. It looked at a range of alternatives and consulted the public. A terms of refer- ence was developed and subsequently approved by the Province. In April 2006 consultants finally rec- ommended thermal treatment with the recovery of energy as Durham’s best op- tion, but only after evaluating the effects of a bunch of different systems on the natural, social, economic, technical and legal environments. But, there are lots of different thermal treatments, so a delegation skipped on over to Europe to check out a variety of them, including incinerators and a me- chanical biological facilities. Another round of public meetings was held and people gave input on what the criteria for site selection should be. It wasn’t until June 2006 that Durham and York councils approved EFW as the preferred method. They then got on with trying to get a short list of sites, released in late March. That brings us to today, but this story is far from finished. There is much work to be done, including narrowing down exactly what kind of technology will be used. But, clearly this isn’t a case of waste management on a whim. There has been extensive research and public consultation and there will continue to be right up until a shovel goes into the ground. Erin Hatfield’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail ehatfield@durhamregion.com. Erin Hatfield staff writer A tale of waste management in Durham Show originally created by Uxbridge girls to honour late mother DURHAM — Organizers of an upcoming gala promise it will be the “breast show” ever seen. Two years ago, Uxbridge sis- ters Joelle, Shayna, and Melanie Segal introduced a fundraiser to fight breast cancer, in honour of their mother, Dody Segal, who succumbed to the deadly disease in 2004. The event was dubbed ‘Breast Friends Forever’ and raised $30,000 towards building the Gilda’s Club in Barrie, Ontario, a breast cancer support resource centre. With the success of that show, the women are now looking for support at the follow-up fund- raiser dubbed ‘The Breast Darn Show Period’. Melanie Segal, also the event’s producer, explained the motivation behind creating the newest gala. “My mother was supposed to be one of our guests of honour at the original event... but unfortunately, she passed away too soon. Plan- ning the event was a good way to cope with our grief at the time. Seeing smiles on the faces of the Serendipity ladies (an Uxbridge breast cancer support group) dur- ing the laugh therapy session was one of the greatest moments of my life. “After the (original) event, we had to pick up the pieces of our lives and move forward. In the past two years, we’ve been through an emotional mill. But now we have renewed strength and energy, we want to touch more lives, and dedicate ourselves to showing the world how strong these women are.” The women are referring to the latest show as an “Oscar-style cocktail party” in which guests, survivors and supporters will walk a pink carpet “and be treated like the stars they truly are.” Former Canadian talk show host Camilla Scott will be on hand, along with Canadian fashion de- signer Linda Lundstrom and a performance by Toronto-based band, Shaye. “Breathtaking cirque stunts” will also be featured. “Shaye’s song, ‘Beauty’, was the inspiration behind our debut event,” said Shayna Segal, creative director. “My mother chose the song before she died. She loved the main chorus, which repeats, ‘You’ll find beauty in the toughest of places.’ “That’s part of what this evening is all about, showing the world that you can find beauty in the strength and courage, the hope and cama- raderie of everyone who has been faced with cancer.” The latest event is planned for Thursday, May 17 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Fermenting Cellar, 55 Mill St. in Toronto, within the city’s distillery district. Tickets are $65 each, available online at www. breastdarnshowperiod.com or by calling 416-855-3390. Mother’s Day packages are being offered -- for $150, the buyer will receive two tickets, a discount coupon good at some restaurants in the distillery district, a flower vase by Va zu, a “free scoop” of sand to sift during the ‘Breastfast at Tiffany’s’ jewelry hunt, and two free drinks at the ‘Boobie Bar’. Mother’s Day orders can also be placed at Pres- ents, Presents, Presents on Brock Street. All proceeds from this year’s gala will be donated to Willow Breast Cancer Support Canada. YOU’RE INVITED TO AN OPEN HOUSE You are invited to attend our third Environmental Assessment Open House to discuss Ontario Power Generation’s work on the potential refurbishment and continued operation of the Pickering B nuclear generating station. Refurbishment involves replacing major reactor components to extend the operating life of the reactors for an additional 30 years.An Environmental Assessment (EA) will help with the early identification of any potentially significant environmental effects from refurbishment and continued operation. It also ensures appropriate mitigation measures are identified early in decision-making. The Open Houses will present some preliminary findings of our EA studies, the feedback from community and stakeholder consultations to date and next steps in the EA review and approval process. OPG staff and expert consultants will be on hand to share information about the project,answer your questions and discuss next steps in the process.We look forward to seeing you there.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 29, 2007 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Effective and efficient is the description Ted Galinis gives the Region’s new Durham Region Transit (DRT) executive com- mittee. The committee was developed to allow the existing transit commission to get more deeply involved and better run transit. “These people will get to know transit hands on and be better equipped,” said Mr. Galinis, DRT’s general manager. Where the commission is comprised of all 28 members of Regional council, the structure has been revised to include an executive committee to take care of the day-to-day. The committee is made up of the mayor or a designate from each municipality, the Regional chairman, the chief administrative officer and treasurer. Members are councillors Nester Pidwerbecki from Oshawa, Don Mitchell of Whitby, Scott Crawford from Ajax, Charlie Trim of Clarington and John Grant from Brock, and mayors Marilyn Pearce from Scugog, Bob Shepherd from Ux- bridge and Dave Ryan of Pickering. Transit meetings will now be held every six weeks, with the next on April 25. According to Mr. Galinis, having the meetings in this time slot as opposed to prior to council meetings has tremendous benefits. “We are putting it into a time slot where we have more time to deal with the issues,” he said. “A nd it is a more manageable number.” He said the structure mirrors the transit im- plementation committee, set up to realize the Regional system. “The model we chose works very well,” Mr. Galinis said. “A t committee level there is a little more free- dom to speak and allows for better interplay between us and our commission.” The full commission remains in effect, but meets when the executive committee deems it necessary and a minimum of once a year. According to Mr. Galinis, although there is sufficient cause for the involvement of full council as members on the DRT commission during it’s inaugural year, Durham residents will be better served through the creation of the smaller committee. “It allows us to give better training to the smaller group,” he said.

Five per cent increase means treatment for 28 kids By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — From the time he was two-years- old, Grandview Children’s Centre has been like a second home to Christopher Barker. “He’s really blossomed here,” said proud mom Joanne, as Christopher, now 6, played with friends in Grandview’s colourful atrium Thursday morn- ing. “He’s done so many programs here, speech therapy, physio, the walker group, breath support to help him use his chest muscles... and he loves to swim in the pool.” Christopher was one of about a dozen local kids with special needs who greeted Minister of Chil- dren and Youth Services Mary Anne Chambers when she touched down in Oshawa this week to announce a funding boost for Grandview and other children’s services in Durham. “Children’s treatment centres are an important part of the continuum of services that provide young people with disabilities, the best opportu- nities to succeed,” the minister said. The centre will receive an additional $221,200 in capital funding for the 2007-08 year, for an in- crease of five per cent over last year. Vicky Earle, Grandview’s new executive direc- tor, was thrilled with the announcement, noting the funds will allow an additional 28 children with disabilities to receive treatment this year and extra staff to be hired. The minster also announced a five per cent funding increase of $658,755, to be shared be- tween eight Durham agencies providing mental health services to children and youth, includ- ing Lakeridge Health, the Durham Family Court Clinic and the John Howard Society of Durham Region. “Our government is working hard on many fronts to make a real difference for our province’s most vulnerable young people and to respond sooner to their family’s needs,” Ms. Chambers said. Grandview Children’s Cen- tre is an accredited children’s treatment centre, funded by the Ministry of Health to pro- vide services like physiotherapy, speech language pathology and medical assessment to support children with spe- cial needs and their families. The centre also includes Campbell Children’s School, where six-year-old Julia Gaidychuk is a student. Her mother Margaret figures Julia has taken advantage of almost every program offered by Grandview since she became a client at age 16 months, rhyming off physical therapy, speech therapy and recreation programs, to name a few. “Hopefully this new money will mean shorter wait times and more kids getting treatment they need,” Ms. Gaidychuk said. “It’s a really great place.” Grandview gets funding boost For more on this story John Robertson must serve minimum of 15 years By Mary Riley Special to the News Advertiser NEWMARKET — Former Cam- eron resident John Robertson brought the same cold stare to court on Wednesday that he main- tained throughout his murder trial in 2005. But Nancy Richard stared just as coldly at the convicted murderer in a Newmarket courtroom, watch- ing as he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 15 years, for killing a second person -- her niece, Oshawa native Michelle Robichaud -- a teen whose skull he fractured. Mr. Robertson, 43, was convicted of second-degree murder in con- nection with Michelle’s death in May 2000. His sentence on Wednesday will be served concurrently. Mr. Justice Edwin Minden heard the case at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Mr. Robertson, already serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2005 for killing Kent Knights four years earlier, pleaded not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder. After several pretrial hearings, Mr. Robertson agreed to a joint submis- sion by defence counsel Dirk Derst- ine and Crown prosecutor Ron Da- vidson, choosing instead to plead guilty to the lesser charge of second- degree murder in Michelle’s death. He also waived his right to a jury trial, opting to have his case decided by a judge. Michelle, who was 17 when she died on May 11, 2000, would have celebrated her 24th birthday on April 14. Her skeletal remains lay hidden for almost two years in the Cam- eron barn on the farm rented by Mr. Robertson, until police discovered them in June 2002. They were at the farm investigating the murder of Mr. Knights, a boarder at the farm Mr. Robertson was renting. Mr. Knights was beaten to death at the Hwy. 35 property in December 2001 and his body later buried on a property near Gooderham in Haliburton County that Mr. Robertson owned. Ms. Robichaud’s mother, Clau- dette Richard, her aunt, Nancy Rich- ard, and her sister, Tina Robichaud, were among the family members in court. Court heard the teenager, who lived in the Oshawa area, left home at 15 but regularly kept in touch with her family, returning for visits and calling often. In 2000, Michelle enjoyed using a phone chatline, Durham Chit Chat, which enabled people to call and talk to others. She also visited people in the Lindsay area that she met through the chat line. On the day leading to her death, she was with friends at Lindsay Square Mall. She called another friend from a pay phone for a ride, ending up at the woman’s home, the court heard. One of the people she met there was John Robertson. Later that night, Mr. Robertson drove the teenager to the Robertson farm, where she was killed in the early hours of May 11. Court heard Mr. Robertson put her body in the trunk of his car, drove it to the barn and put it up in the loft, covering it with a layer of hay. Ms. Robichaud’s mother, Clau- dette Richard, now suffering from breast cancer, told court in a victim impact statement that there was “a hole in my heart that will never be filled.” She described watching a sleeping Michelle one night as a baby in her crib, thinking how lucky she was and how awful it must be for a parent to lose a child. “I never would have dreamed that years later I’d have homicide detectives at my door telling me she was dead.” Ms. Richard said the loss of her daughter destroyed her physical and emotional health. Ju stice Minden called Mr. Robert- son “cold-hearted, callous and self- interested,” noting he shows no re- morse and was calculating enough to try and cover up the crime. He said Mr. Robertson and Michelle had been “total strangers just hours before her death; she had no idea who he really was.” In passing his sentence, the judge said Mr. Robertson’s history of seri- ous criminal violence and two mur- ders within a year and a half made him “a very dangerous man” for whom “rehabilitation is not in the cards.” Master of Ceremonies – Entertainment Jessica Holmes May 31, 2007 7:00 pm Carruther’s Creek Golf & Country Club, Ajax, Ontario Live Auction Silent Auction Auctioneer GARY HILL AUCTIONS Advance Tickets: $40.00 per person Tickets are available at 905-404-2224 ext. 0 or for more information visit our website at: www.communitycaredurham.on.ca Pearl Jubilee Charity Auction Sponsored by: Media Sponsor:Your Support is Invaluable Remember, all inserts, including those on glossy paper, can be recycled with the rest of your newspaper through your blue box Recycling program.

Pickering residents, business leaders, artists, and councillors at- tended the kickoff for Communities in Bloom on April 20. Communities in Bloom is a non-profit volunteer- based organization fostering civic pride, environmental awareness and municipal beautification. Its nation-wide, friendly competition aims to improve the visual appeal of parks, streets, neighbourhoods and open spaces. It’s Pickering’s first entry in the provincial compe- tition. Mayor Dave Ryan, co-chairman of the Communities in Bloom ad- visory committee, said although a large part of the program is judging flowers, community involvement is a key ingredient. “It’s not just about flowers; it’s about the whole community,” Mayor Ryan said. “It’s about how we present ourselves and how we interact with one another.” Municipalities will be evaluated by professional judges this summer, based on the following criteria: ti- diness, environmental awareness, community involvement, natural and cultural heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscaped areas, floral displays and turf and ground covers. Schools, businesses and commu- nity groups can adopt a park and the City is also encouraging litter clean-up parties and community garden and property maintenance. Those interested can purchase a commemorative tree or bench with a plaque, donate materials or volunteer time. Residential homes and complexes, store fronts, pla- zas, offices, organizations and rural residences can enter the garden competition. Registered properties will be evaluated by experts prior to the provincial judging. Launch participants got some gardening experience when three teams of various Pickering faces had 15 minutes to arrange flowers in a large planter. Pickering resi- dent and sculptor Dorsey James was part of the winning team. He said the many Pickering organiza- tions and parks “all need our sup- port in keeping them beautiful. “I like the fact that I feel a part of it all; I feel a part of what’s going on,” he said. “And the efforts, I can see manifesting themselves.” Alex Robertson Park contains Mr. James’ installation of sculptures called Homeplace. He said initially, gardens were planted and some- one had ruined the plants. When he went down to take a look, some women were already fixing it. “Nobody told them to do it,” he said. “They took ownership and I was touched by that.” Also co-chairman of the Com- munities in Bloom advisory com- mittee, Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Bill McLean participated in the launch competition. “This is something we have been doing in Pickering for eons, but now we have a name to attach to it and vice versa,” he said. Those interested in participating can call 905-683-7575 or register online at www.sustainablepicker- ing.com. Gardening competition registration forms must be com- pleted no later than June 8.

If you take a look around, you can fi nd a “medi-spa” on almost ev- ery street corner. Traditional day spas that add a laser service or that may hire a nurse or doctor to do injections automatically add the title “medi-spa”. The problem with traditional spas that simply add on the injectables business experience turnover resulting in inconsistent services to clients and in addition, the medical director may spend minimal time at the spa and not have a vested interest. Conversely, medical practitioners that add on the spa aspect of their medical practice may still seem a bit cold and clinical, not giving you that pampered feeling. The evolution of the 21st Century medi-spa is fi nally here at Nu Vitality. Nu Vitality MedSpa is a true fusion medi- spa of medical services and aesthetics. It is a true partnership between Dr. Sonia Mosaad and Kelly Horwood. What makes this dynamic duo a success is their specifi c area of expertise. Dr. Mosaad oversees every detail of the medical side while Ms. Horwood oversees all business and aesthetics aspects, providing superior customer service with a 24/7 telephone and email service. Both Dr. Mosaad and Ms. Horwood personally research all technologies offered and stand be- hind their products and services – there are no sales gimmicks.

Private and confi dential Nu V itality has clients from all walks of life, ranging from high-profi le clients, waitresses, stockbrokers, sales, and domestic engineers.

Nu Vitality offers a private and intimate setting operating from a private elegant style manor home where you can just relax and kick back. Tu r ning back the clock Slowing down the aging process can certainly be done. While this can be achieved with proper diet, exercise, and a healthy mind, science and technology has certainly afforded us the tools to take it even further. “Many patients tell me they take good care of themselves but look old. This could be due to a multiple causes but the main point is that we are aging. With dermal inject- ables, lasers, chemical peeling and other advances in science we can take off years from the appear- ance of ones age yielding new vitality for our cli- ents. We will customize a package for our clients as unique as their DNA,” says Dr. Mosaad. Dermal injectables The highly successful results of dermal inject- ables not only depend on keeping up with the latest technologies but also greatly depend on the artistic ability of the injector. Many times clients believe that with one visit they will have a perfect result, but in actuality, putting volume back into one’s face or lips is like a work of art and may require touch ups over a period of time to achieve the desired results. Nu Vitality delivers amazing results, special- izing in Botox for wrinkles and eyebrow lifts, as well as third generation specialty fi llers for tear troughs, lips, nasolabial folds, and facial contour- ing. “We are also seeing a new trend with clients as young as 26 seeking cosmetic fi llers and Botox treatments. As people become more educated, they realize that dermal injectables are not only a corrective measure of action for wrinkles but also a preventative one,” says Kelly Horwood. All injectable services are performed by Dr. So- nia Mosaad herself. Laser technology Another incredible breakthrough in laser technology is the ability to tighten skin, treat age spots, sun damage, rosacea, acne, skin tex- ture, vein removal, and permanent hair reduc- tion. There are many lasers on the market and some work better than others. For skin tight- ening, a laser needs to go deep enough into the skin for collagen contraction and remodeling but some lasers do not go deep enough and just heat the epidermis giving the illusion of a suc- cessful treatment. Nu Vitality’s technology for skin tightening does not risk fat atrophy as with other types of skin laxity remedies and pene- trates deep enough into the skin for safe and effective results. Skin care science Providing exceptional skin care, Nu Vital- ity offers customized facial therapies and expert product advice. Good skin starts with a good skincare regimen. Jurlique’s Biodynamic and Certifi ed Organic skin care line with over 250 products brings the full spa experience to Ajax. Jurlique is also very popular with the Hollywood stars and in fact, this year the Canadian Juno Awards provided Jurlique gift certifi cates as part of their gift bags to the talented artists. “Jurlique is very powerful, containing potent anti-oxidants with all the benefi ts of aromatherapy - certain to uplift one’s spirits,” says Kelly Horwood, owner and skin care consultant/technician. Shopping online is available at Nu Vitality for all of your skincare needs, including physician-only Pro- Derm and Alyeria specialty products. Spa-grade skin care products and cosmeceuticals contain higher concentrates of active ingredients com- pared to over-the-counter products since much of their budget is allocated for mass marketing and advertising campaigns. Receive an online sk- incare consultation to help you choose products that are best for you. “We strive to educate every single client as we believe that our clients deserve the truth about so many choices available today. They re- ally appreciate our honesty and integrity and no-pressure sales tactics. Our breadth and depth of knowledge of anti-aging techniques and rem- edies is what attracts our customers and keeps them coming back. All of our consultations are no charge and there is absolutely no obligation,” says Dr. Mosaad, owner and cosmetic/family physician.

We can help Want to buy a new barbeque now that the warm weather is fi nally here and outdoor grilling is the only way to cook? We ll here are some tips from Canadian Home Leisure: Stainless steel or not? Stainless steel is the ultimate but most expen- sive material with which to make a barbecue. Ev- erything else is a compromise. However, make sure the stainless steel is heavy gauge 304 grade steel. The market is being fl ooded with imported, low- quality stainless steel which will tarnish within a few years. The grill housing A good alternative for the grill itself is cast aluminum. However, this is an expensive item to make and many manufacturers avoid castings. If you choose stainless steel, make sure it is double walled or else hot spots will show through. Try to twist the box with your hands. If you can, the gauge of the steel is too thin. The grills A good alternative is cast steel. However, re- member that steel can rust, it will be heavy to lift out to clean and it will retain heat. As always, it is best to pay the extra for stainless steel. The burners These should be heavier gauge stainless steel with no crimping (the join between two pieces) which can fail. Briquettes or steel bars Briquettes (not to be confused with lava rock found in the cheap- est grills) have the high- est heat retaining ability and will give the most even heat. You could choose steel bars which are almost as good and are possibly easier to clean. Remember, both steel and briquettes will need to be replaced after about fi ve years. The rest Look carefully at items such as cas- tors or wheels, the frame of the grill, the shelves, etc. Have good quality parts been used? Will it be easy to assemble? This is often the area where manufacturers save money. How much to spend? A good quality North American-made stainless steel grill will cost around $1,500. The best way to buy good quality at a lower price is to choose a cast aluminum housing and then look for stainless steel grills and a good quality burner etc. Avoid buying too cheaply - you will be buying again in a few years! atio furniture is becoming higher and higher priced as customers create an indoor living experience outdoors. At the same time, more and more furniture is being sourced offshore with retailers importing large containers of less expensive products. How does the consumer distinguish be- tween avoiding paying too much and avoid- ing purchasing low-quality furniture which will not last? The only way is to look for brand name, reputable products which have stood the test of time. Retailers, even relatively smaller ones, have started to create their own brand names and have created websites to back them up. Those products, however, were probably made over- seas and sold without war- ranties. The consumer will need to look to the retailer for the warranty. Also, will the retailer still use the same manufacturer next season? Will the consum- er still be able to buy parts, which will fi t something bought two years ago? In many cases, it will be impossible. The consumer needs to be able to rely on both the retailer and a well established brand name manufacturer with a reputation to protect. BBQs available only at our Whitby store is a complete range of North American- made barbecues from Broil King and Weber. The barbecues will outlast anything on the market and replacement parts will always be available. Muskoka chair The chair that is perfect for the cottage of the backyard.

Q:What is your background – what experience do you bring to the business? Joe Beninato:I’ve been in this industry since the early 1970’s. Right out of school, I went into the plumbing retail business, and since then, I’ve worked in every facet of the plumbing industry: Wholesale, retail, manufacturing and now bathroom/kitchen renovations. Q:What advantage is there to coming to Superior Bath – why wouldn’t I shop at one of the big box stores or large chain outlets? JB:Most of our competitors are high volume companies with large overhead and very tight schedules. This causes work that looks like it was rushed or left unfinished so that they can start other projects. They don’t pay attention to the detail like we do. We assign a consultant and an installation crew to your project which stays with you every step of the way until completion. Our clients are always extremely pleased that we do not rush our work. We are building our business and reputation one bathroom at a time. Q:Can you tell me about your showroom? JB:Sure. We have a complete showroom environment for the renovation process. We are not a retail store. Our total focus is building beautiful bathrooms. All our product lines are on display with brands such as American Standard, Kohler, Toto, Cabano and more. Our company and showroom is small. That is by design. The size of our company allows us to provide our clients with a personal touch and to assure them a successful completion of their renovation project. Q:Can you take me through a typical project? If I wanted to renovate my bathroom with Superior Bath, what would I experience? JB:Sure. You call me to arrange for a free estimate concerning the project that you have in mind. I come to your home and I take detailed floor plans and measurements of your existing bathroom as well as other site conditions that may impact what it is that we are trying to accomplish. We then make an appointment for you to visit our showroom. At that time I will have your floor plans and layout in hand and we can commence the process of choosing the specific products and color selections that suits your tastes, budget and lifestyle. We may be able to do this in one meeting or depending on the scope and size of the project; it may take 2 or 3 meetings. At the end of this process, you will know the amount of funds required for your dream bathroom. Q:What do you think is most important to your clients? JB:Our clients tell us that they are most impressed with the fact that we do not rush their job or leave it unfinished to start another job. We are gaining quite the reputation regarding workmanship and reliability and the proof is in the amount of referral business that we generating. The old saying is true that you can never beat word of mouth advertising. Q:Talk about your crews. JB:We have 3 renovation crews and they are all partners in the business. I’m a firm believer that if you have a vested interest in the company your performance and workmanship will exceed our clients’ expectations. Q:What do you think of the Mike Holmes TV show impact on the industry? JB:I absolutely love his program and watch it religiously. I think he has brought great insight to the industry. This type of insight is long overdue and also helps support some of the costs involved in a project that clients may not be aware of. Q:What are you future plans for Superior Bath Reno? JB:We are already maxed out at our current Ajax location and will not expand that current business. Our focus is to stay small so that we can maintain that personal touch with our clients that you can't get with those large companies and all the red tape involved. We will however add another location in Durham Region very soon. This will be done once I have the working renovation partners in place. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm a firm believer of having renovation crews with a vested interest in the company. We will expand through partnerships. Shelley Webb, Renovation Consultant & Partner, Superior bath Reno Inc. Q:Te ll me about the service you provide for your client. Shelley Webb: I help my clients with the planning and successful completion of their renovation project. Once the project starts, I manage the job from start to finish making sure that all the product is ordered as selected and installed to my client’s expectation. We make the process as seamless as possible for the client. I also like to take on some of the smaller projects that our company offers. Q:What finishing touches help create the perfect bathroom? SW: What really beautifies the bathroom is wall and floor tile along with a border to create that WOW factor. This process combined with co-coordinated vanity and counter top and paint will create that perfect bathroom to suit your taste and budget. Q:What do you think is most important to your clients? SW: Our clients are most impressed with the quality of our workmanship and the service we provide. We look after any issues that may arise in a timely fashion. They also like the fact that we do not leave their project unfinished just to start another project. Sam Martin, Renovation Installer & Partner, Superior Bath Reno Inc. Q:What is the advantage of coming to a company like Superior Bath? Sam Martin:We stay on the client’s job from start to finish and don’t bounce around to different projects at the same time. This also helps us to create a bond or a trust with the customer. Once the project starts, our clients become quite comfortable with our being in their home. We always treat our client’s homes with respect and make sure we clean-up after ourselves. Q:What do you think is most important to your client’s? SM:They like the fact that we show up every day to their jobsite. They are impressed that we always have on-site project management making sure of smooth renovation project. We also keep our customers informed should any issues arise that require input. We asked all three partners at Superior Bath Reno what they’re most proud of and here’s what they had to say. Sam Martin:I’m proud that the company is getting lots of referral business. This only proves that the quality of our workmanship and service is what we claim it is. You don’t need to ask us, just ask our renovation customers. Shelley Webb: I’m proud of our amazing team. That’s what we are here – a complete team and a family. It is not about us, it is about our client and our team always put’s the client first and foremost. Joe Beninato:I’m quite proud of the quality of our renovation crews/partners that we have.

While the bygone roar of locomotives and the comings and goings of passengers is now a distant memory, the historical signifi cance of this area is not lost. A Scottish settler erected the original building, which sits on a picturesque site in the southwest corner of Pickering, in the 1800s. It would later be- come a tourist destination known as Rosebank Sta- tion. History relates the days when trains stopped either to deliver or gather patrons of the hotel. With times changing, Rosebank Station was later renovated into an apartment dwelling and was eventually purchased in the 1950s and licensed by the municipality as a 40-bed nursing home. In 1980, Rosebank Station became Rosebank Villa Retirement Residence, which was purchased by new owners in the fall of 1994. Today, the three-storey building is being lovingly restored to give maximum comfort to the senior cit- izens who will call Abbeylawn Manor home, while still paying close attention to giving it that histori- cal feel that harks back to yesteryear. The Ontario Tr ades Group has done a fantastic job in bringing this building back to life, notes the facility’s execu- tive director, Kim Jimmo-Shields. “We want to bring out the history of Abbeylawn Manor, and the grace and beauty of the property,” which borders Lake Ontario and overlooks the Pet- ticoat Creek Conservation Area. On many morn- ings, wildlife routinely comes into sight at the rear of the building. While the building has many cozy, old-fash- ioned touches, it also provides all the modern amenities. All the fl oors in the building have been newly carpeted, walls freshly painted, and the spa- cious suites feature wall-to-wall broadloom, ensuite bathrooms. “We will leave it up to each resident to furnish their own suites with their own personal treasures to maintain their familiar sense of home,” says Jimmo-Shields. Upon approaching the front entranceway, ele- gantly spanned by an aw- ning embossed with the new Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home logo, you will enjoy an inter- locking stone patio graced on all sides by beautiful gardens. This is compli- mented by the adjoin- ing large wooden deck and gazebo.

Dr. Smith Shaolin Kempo Karate... or Kung Fu, as referred to by Western Chinese, are one in the same. The origin of Shaolin Kempo Karate dates as far as 4,000 years ago when the art was used by the military to ward off the invading Tartars and Barbarians. The fi rst Shaolin monastery was erected on Mt. Su in Hunan Province by the true monks who were seeking the salvation and unity of their soul and bodies, as well as the military monks, who were prepared to restore the overthrown Ming Dynasty. The Shaolin Kempo Karate movements were derived from the fi ve original animal forms: the Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Snake, and Crane. The art of Shaolin Kempo Karate will enrich you both mentally and physically regardless of sex, age or size. Within a few weeks at Fred Villari’s Studios you will notice, with justifi able pride, how you have begun to develop an awareness of inner peace, and an ability to deal with emotional tensions so prevalent in these times.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 29, 2007 PAGE 29 A/Pdurhamregion.com Man’s a suspect in earlier Durham fraud scheme By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Hundreds of new charges have been laid against a fraud suspect and his wife after Durham cops busted the two as they allegedly broke his bail conditions. Police say they found evidence of wide- spread fraud when they searched the King City home of the man, arrested here last fall in connection with a credit and debit card skimming operation at a north Oshawa gas bar. One fraud investigator said lists of debit and credit card numbers found in the home amounted to “an encyclopedia” of appar- ently stolen data. Officers with Durham’s offender manage- ment unit kept tabs on the suspect following his arrest here last September. Police allege the man gained employment at a north end gas bar using fake identification including a driver’s licence and social insurance num- ber, then installed skimming equipment that lifted data from customer’s debit and credit cards. The data can be copied to new cards and used to make purchases. The suspect, who was serving a term of house arrest for fraud-related offences at the time of the Durham bust, was released on bail and placed on strict conditions. Dur- ham police allege they caught the suspect breaching those conditions when they saw him at large in York Region Saturday, driv- ing in the King City area with his wife at the wheel of a 2006 BMW. Police took the couple into custody, charg- ing the man with breaching bail conditions and the woman with aiding and abetting the breach. During the arrest both occupants of the car were found to have counterfeit credit cards in their possession, police said. A sub- sequent search of their home resulted in the seizure of credit card writing equipment, 200 phoney credit cards and hundreds of pages of credit and debit card data, police said. Police also seized the BMW, claiming it’s proceeds of crime. As a result of the investi- gation, cops have laid a total of 238 charges against the couple. Serguei Kokoouline, 38, and 37-year-old Larissa Piminova, both of 17th Sideroad in King City, each face more than 100 fraud- related charges, as well as breach of recogni- zance. Hundreds of fraud charges laid against couple Business News Advertiser Sunday, April 29, 2007 durhamregion.com BIZ BYTE In the first three months of 2007, Toyota outsold General Motors in world- wide vehicle sales by approximately 90,000 units. The first quarter results put Toyota on track to overtaking GM as the world’s largest automaker -- a distinction that is bestowed on the company that produces, not sells, the most cars per year. Despite the loss to Toyota, GM had a record first quar- ter, selling more than 2.2 million vehicles around the world. QUOTABLE “GM posted record sales in the first quarter driven by exception- ally strong demand in emerging markets.” John Middlebrook, GM vice president of global sales. TRENDset Note “The interview begins the moment job seekers arrive, so applicants need to project enthusiasm and confidence from the start. The opening minutes of the conversa- tion often set the tone for the rest of the discussion, making it wise to prepare especially well for the first few interview questions.” Max Messmer, CEO of Robert Half International. Every minute counts Job-seekers often spend hours preparing for the tough questions that come during a job interview, but a new survey found that employers know whether they might hire someone soon after the open- ing handshake and small talk. The survey was developed by Robert Half Finance and Accounting and it asked 100 senior Canadian executives the following: How many minutes, on aver- age, do you spend meeting with a staff-level candidate during a job interview? Average answer: 60 minutes How many minutes, on aver- age, do you spend meeting with a management-level can- didate during a job interview? Average answer: 103 minutes How long does it typically take you to form either a positive or negative opinion of a job candidate during an initial interview? Average answer: 12 minutes DURHAM -- The Ministry of Finance offices in downtown Oshawa were abuzz with activ- ity last year when the organiza- tion launched its new work- place wellness strategy with a Wellness Fair. The goal was to create an environment that encouraged a healthy lifestyle and gave employees a better work-life balance. A year later, the program has been a success, offering monthly Lunch and Learns on such subjects as yoga at work, coping with holiday stress and laughter in the workplace. “We’ve had very little nega- tive feedback,” says Deanna Scott, a health and safety consultant assistant at the ministry. In fact, she says many employees have offered sug- gestions for topics of future Lunch and Learns. “The bottom line is that by addressing work-life bal- ance and offering these types of information sessions and clinics, the employee feels the employer has a greater interest in the well-being of their staff,” Ms. Scott said. Mary Norton, president of the Human Resource Profession- als Association of Durham and a 15-year veteran in the field, says that employers who pro- vide a good work-life balance will be rewarded with happier employees. “That will mean productivity will increase and resentment won’t build up,” she said. “It will make them more willing to stay with the company.” Ms. Norton suggests employ- ers offer flexible work hours to allow those with commitments -- such as dropping children off at day care -- to be able to juggle responsibilities. “It doesn’t mean employees are working less hours, but maybe they are coming in half an hour later and staying lon- ger or taking a shorter lunch break,” she said. The human resources spe- cialist also suggests employers consider low-cost perks that help to recognize employees -- especially salaried employ- ees who are not paid for extra hours worked -- who have gone above and beyond. “A company can do a lot of lit- tle things, like sending flowers to the house to say think you or offering tickets to take the fam- ily to a recreational activity,” Ms. Norton said. “These all say, ‘We value what you are doing.’ Recognition goes a long way.” But, it seems most employers aren’t yet listening. According to a survey by Monster Canada released this week, the vast majority of Canadian employers don’t have any policies in place to reward or recognize hard work. Only 20 per cent of Canadians said they received pay increas- es, flexible scheduling or other work-life balance initiatives. Nearly 70 per cent said they wished their employers offered incentives such as fitness and nutritional coaching, gym memberships and opportuni- ties for professional growth. Overall, most respondents said their employers are doing very little to retain them. Gabriel Bouchard, the vice- president of Montreal-based Monster Canada, said these types of incentives are going to become increasingly impor- tant as Canada enters a labour shortage. “The workplace has become increasingly competitive,” he said. “In this new labour mar- ket, the power now shifts from traditional employers to job seekers. Employers will soon have to provide incentives to retain their employees or risk disruptions in productivity.” Canadian businesses lose billions of dollars every year on sick days, employee absen- teeism and stress leaves, he added. “With the labour shortage already affecting much of Can- ada, it will be interesting to see the rise in corporate wellness programs and other workplace benefits,” Mr. Bouchard said. Ms. Norton agrees employers will soon have to make conces- sions to workers who may want to continue at a part-time basis or require creative scheduling to fit in other commitments, but she says the push for a greater work-life balance is coming from the younger gen- eration. “The younger workers are almost demanding that this is part of their workplace, that there is that balance,” she said. “They don’t want to do what the previous generation did. In other words, they are willing to look for a win-win relationship with their organizations. They will put in their hours and work very hard, but they also want their time to be their time and they need it to get recognized.” The best way for a company to start is to create a policy that says the work-life balance is valued and make sure it is implemented. “That’s really the beginning,” Ms. Norton said. “And that may take a bit of change in some companies and it may take some time, but if it comes from the top down and the executives are taught to put the humanness back into the work- force, it can go a long way.” Striking a balance A good work-life balance is important to keeping employees happy, productive, and loyal By Izabela Jaroszynski Source: Robert Half Technology DURHAM -- Local business leaders interested in doing busi- ness with India will have an opportunity to learn more about the emerging market.

Preston Roberts named to Canadian, Ontario halls of fame By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Preston Roberts wasn’t expecting the accolades that came his way from the national and provincial boxing communities last weekend. But, the long-time boxing coach -- slowed by cancer over the past two years -- notes he was surprised to be honored by the Canadian Amateur Boxing Association and by Boxing Ontario at a special ceremony at the Ray McGibbon’s Gloves boxing card in St. Catharines. While there, it was announced Roberts, who’s spent 30 years in the fight game helping young boxers reach their full potential, would be inducted into the Canadian Amateur Boxing Association Hall of Fame, as well as being inducted into Boxing Ontario’s Legends’ Ring of Fame as a coach. “It was a total, total surprise, I wasn’t expecting it,” says Roberts, 67, whose voice has been tapered to a whisper, owing to the fact his throat has been affected by cancer, neces- sitating a breathing apparatus to be inserted. “I was shocked, really.” Boxing became a way of life for Roberts while a resident of Yukon Te rritory, where he served as presi- dent of the Yukon Amateur Boxing Association for 19 years. For 15 of those years, he also served as a coach with the Whitehorse Boxing Club. In 1992, he moved to Pickering and his intention was to take a break from boxing. That hiatus was short- lived, however. At the behest of long- time Ajax Boxing Club coach Don Ross, he got back into coaching. “He got me hooked again and I ended up staying there for another six years,” says Roberts of coaching in Ajax. Most memorable of his time at the Ajax club was his association with light middleweight (71 kilogram) boxer Nicky Farrell, who fought his way onto the Canadian Olympic Boxing team and competed at the 1996 Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta. Farrell lost his first match to Kazakhstan’s Yermakhan Ibraimov, the eventual bronze medallist in the weight class. In 1999, he founded his own box- ing club in Pickering, the Liverpool Boxing Club. But, after seven years at the helm, Roberts was forced to step back from his head coaching role to begin cancer treatment, which cul- minated in an operation. He turned over the reins in 2006 to head coach Tyler Buxton. “Tyler has showed a lot of dedica- tion and has showed a willingness to learn,” says Roberts, who stepped down as head coach last March. Both say the shift in head coaches at the Liverpool club has been virtu- ally seamless, as both subscribe to the same principles in the sport. “I hear myself saying what he used to say,” laughs Buxton. “And, the same things Preston used to say to me I say to the assistant coaches now.” In terms of coaching philosophy, Roberts says it can be boiled down to one word: Patience. “You’ve got to be like a social worker and you’ve got to be patient with them and bring them along slowly. You identify the ones who are going to be competitive. But, if they’re not going to be a competitive boxer, there’s always some kind of role for them to play as a coach or an official. They can take some role with the boxing club. “The bottom line is to develop a sense of self-worth and self-respect for these individual kids. Through their training you have to point out the positives.” Looking back over his tenure as the Liverpool club’s head coach, Roberts is most proud of helping four female boxers develop into na- tional-calibre fighters. Of late, Roberts was well enough to join the Boxing Ontario contin- gent at the Canada Winter Games in the Yukon last month, to help guide the young Ontario boxers. He notes it was a definite career highlight. “It was like going back home.” While there, he caught up with Jess Staffen, an official with the Ca- nadian Amateur Boxing Association, who served as a scorekeeper at the Games. Roberts had coached Staffen with the Whitehorse Boxing Club as a 10 year old. “I was like a proud papa,” he says of his protege. His health has improved to the point where he’s now returned to the Liverpool club on a part-time basis. At the Ray McGibbon’s Gloves event, he helped out in the corner of Mitchell Price, 13, who won gold in the 46-kilogram weight class. “I’ll be out as much as I can,” he says of returning to the Liverpool club.

The online report, which tells On- tarians how well the Province’s can- cer system is working, says cancer treatment wait times and quality are improving. But screening rates have stalled and more needs to be done to support people dying of the disease. “We are making significant gains in key areas of the cancer journey and we are clearly falling short in others,” said Michael Decter, chairman of the Cancer Quality Council of Ontario. S ome report highlights: - Smoking rates continue to decline, however Ontarians remain at risk in other areas that are important targets for cancer prevention, such as obe- sity. - Screening programs have helped reduce deaths from breast and cervi- cal cancer. While colorectal cancer screening rates remain low, Ontario’s new Colorectal Cancer Screening Pro- gram has the potential to improve screening rates. - Breast and cervical screening have stalled to about 80 per cent and 60 per cent respectively and more needs to be done to seek out and support vul- nerable women with screening. - Wait times for radiation and can- cer surgery are continually improving, while chemotherapy wait times re- main largely unchanged over the last three years. - The number of people diagnosed with cancer in Ontario is expected to grow by three per cent each year, however survival is improving for pa- tients with three of the four most com- mon cancers -- breast, cervical and colorectal. There are no significant gains in lung cancer survival. According to the report, progress is also happening at the local level. - The new Durham Region R.S. McLaughlin Cancer Centre will begin treating patients with radiation thera- py in May, followed by chemotherapy in June. - The new Durham Region R.S. McLaughlin Cancer Centre saw an in- crease in complete pathology reports and is now exceeding provincial tar- gets. - The new centre has also improved radiation wait times and is meeting the provincial target, and has also improved patient satisfaction indica- tors such as emotional support and respect for preferences. Launched in 2005 and updated an- nually, the index is a publicly avail- able website that uses 30 measures to assess cancer system performance.
