The owner of Millennium City Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Janet Sawyer, and SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. partner Steve Warsh appeared recently at an OMB meeting regarding the construction of a temporary building off the Bay Ridges property for San Francisco By the Bay. The Committee of Adjustment approved in January five variances that would allow for a temporary building for retail space, including providing nine park- ing spots instead of the required 10. But Dr. Sawyer filed an appeal to that decision in February and SR&R brought it to the OMB to dismiss her appeal. The meeting was held to determine if a full OMB hearing is required. The development (approved by Council in October 2006 and by the OMB in April 2007) will consist of two towers - 235 units in one and 142 in the other - and 120 town- houses. There will also be 25,000 square feet of retail space. Dr. Sawyer is the only tenant remaining in the Bay Ridges plaza, and in August 2007 she won a motion she brought to a Superior Court Judge that states the landlord cannot move her out of the plaza. Although Dr. Sawyer assumed the tem- porary building was meant for her, William Friedman, representing SR&R, stated at the meeting that’s not necessarily true. As part of the performance agreement with the City, 1,200 metres of retail space must be main- tained during construction. “There is no obligation to house Sawyer,” he said. “She is the only tenant on the site, but the obligation is to maintain retail uses. So if Sawyer’s there or not, that has to be done.” Dr. Sawyer, represented by Eileen Costel- lo, found problems with the variances such as: parking spots are too few and in a bad location; the design results in safety issues not only for clients and staff regarding park- ing, but also pedestrian access throughout the site; and, the site plan will complicate deliveries. Developers argue Dr. Sawyer’s appeal does not hold merit, the reasons for it are insufficient for holding a hearing, and it was made for the purpose of delay. Bay Ridges resident Doris Hopper-Riede spoke at the hearing, indicating her distaste with the agenda of SR&R. “This is not an ordinary retail service in an DON’T WORRY, IT WON’T BITE Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Keara McLellan holds up a crayfish as Coronation Public School classmates Samantha Chicogne and Dyson Smirle take a closer look as students were analyzing the biodiversity of the stream.

Inquest held into killer’s death By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com PORT HOPE — Fears of jailhouse retribution led a convicted killer to choose the second-best option for treatment of a serious heart condition, a coroner’s jury has heard. Robert Appleton decided against a more suitable and durable mechanical re- placement heart valve be- cause he feared the blood thinners he’d have to take would lead to him bleed- ing to death in the event he was stabbed in prison, his doctor testified during an inquest held Thursday in Port Hope. Instead, Mr. Appleton opted for a tissue-type valve, which failed within two years of his first surgery in 2003, cardiovascular sur- geon Glorianne Ropchan said Thursday. Mr. Apple- ton, 35, contracted an acute infection while recovering from a 2005 procedure to replace that valve and died at Kingston General Hospi- tal, jurors heard. “He said, ‘I’m a visible person. I’m more likely to be stabbed’,” Dr. Ropchan said in recalling consultations with Mr. Appleton, who at the time was incarcerated at Warkworth prison near Campbellford. “I assumed it meant he felt at higher risk for what- ever reason.” Dr. Ropchan didn’t know what crime had landed Mr. Appleton behind bars and didn’t ask; nor were the three men and two women on the coroner’s jury in- formed that Mr. Appleton was convicted of brutally murdering his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Copithorn. Mr. Appleton ambushed the 24- year-old and stabbed her 19 times as she arrived for work at the National Bank branch on King Street East in Bow- manville on the morning of Aug. 4, 1998. The murder culminated a campaign of stalking and harassment Mr. Appleton had begun after Ms. Copi- thorn broke off their tur- bulent relationship. He was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 and sen- tenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 22 years. Inquests are mandatory in an number of circum- stances including deaths of people in custody. Jurors ruled Mr. Appleton’s death was the result of natural causes and offered no rec- ommendations. The finding came after jurors heard that Mr. Ap- pleton, who suffered from a congenital heart condition, received extensive treat- ment for a faulty aortic valve which allowed pumped blood to rush back into his heart. The first heart sur- gery in 2003 went well but it soon became apparent the replacement valve was mal- functioning, Dr. Ropchan said. For the second procedure Mr. Appleton chose the more durable mechanical valve, which was installed during a procedure in July 2005. He appeared to be re- covering well until taking a sudden turn for the worse a few days after surgery, Dr. Ropchan said. Despite intensive efforts to save him the man’s con- dition worsened and his family made the decision to take him off life support in the early morning hours of July 10, 2005, jurors heard. “He was pronounced dead five minutes later,” Dr. Ropchan said. An autopsy showed Mr. Appleton died of pneumo- nia and massive infection, jurors heard. 88¢ (4 plants)Marigolds This Week Only Reg. $1.49 SAVE 40% OFF UNIONVILLE 4038 Hwy. 7 905-479-2480 Mon-Fri ............ 8-9 pm Saturday ...........8-7 pm Sunday ............9-6 pm PICKERING 2215 Brock Rd.

Durham, Clarington, Northumberland & Peterborough Regions THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 25, 2008 PAGE 3 A/Pdurhamregion.com Sick inmate feared jailhouse justice: witness PICKERING — The City of Pickering endorsed Mau- rice Brenner’s call for the Ontario Human Rights Commission to review the closing of the mental health beds at the Ajax-Pickering hospital Monday. The community activist and former councillor pre- sented his case to council in April, telling council the movement of 20 mental health beds from the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital to Centenary hos- pital in Scarborough is a vio- lation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. According to the code, a ‘mental dis- order’ is a disability, and it’s discriminatory to deny someone service because of a disability. Mr. Brenner suggested the OHRC review or hold a public inquiry of the bed closure. Council - openly against the transfer of the beds - referred Mr. Brenner’s letter to City so- licitor Andrew Allison to re- view, and he eventually said it would be OK for Pickering council to pass the motion. Ajax council passed the same motion last week. Twelve full-time regis- tered nurses and six part- time RNs in the Ajax mental health unit have already been informed they’re in the first round of jobs cuts in the Rouge Valley Health System. Pickering council wants public inquiry on moving hospital beds from Ajax Avoiding accidents at work By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — There really are no accidents in Ontario’s workplaces, the Workplace Safety and In- surance Board chairman told Pickering council. Steven Mahoney pre- sented the Community Workplace Health and Safety Charter to council Monday night after Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson and Ward 1 Re- gional Councillor Bonnie Littley introduced a mo- tion that council adopt it. Council did so unani- mously and Mayor Dave Ryan signed it at the meet- ing. “It’s a sober message, a somber one, but one we think needs to be told and it needs to be told in every municipality,” Mr. Ma- honey said. Mr. Mahoney, a former municipal councillor in Mississauga, explained how important it is that Council be aware of the importance of safety in the workplace. The char- ter clearly states engaging senior leadership is fun- damental to ensure real change occurs in elimi- nating workplace injuries. By adopting the charter, council made a commit- ment to actively partici- pate in a community that engages employee physi- cal, social and mental well-being in all employ- ment sectors in the com- munity. Mr. Mahoney explained each hour, about 40 work- place accident claims are filed, and also showed a WSIB commercial of a cook slipping on grease and badly burning herself. “Some of you may find this graphic,” he said. “But we sometimes feel we have to be graphic to get our message across.” Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Bill McLean said Veridian Corporation will soon celebrate its two millionth hour without a workplace accident. Mr. Mahoney said he hopes more places throughout Ontario can achieve such a milestone. The City of Pickering actually pays little in health and safety premiums, he said. Coun. Johnson said he hopes “sooner rather than later we’ll get this char- ter adopted by Regional council as well.” Mr. Mahoney asked that the charter be displayed in a prominent area, and Mayor Ryan suggested it go to various City facilities throughout Pickering. 401 Reynolds Street,Whitby, Ontario L1N 3W9 ◆905.668.3358 ◆www.castle-ed.com I am a Trafalgar Grad • 41 students in the ’07 Graduating Class Community • 195 Admission Offers from Leading Universities Worldwide • $350,000 offered in Post-Secondary Scholarships Trafalgar Castle School.

One of the most important decisions is what to do about the house. In the midst of the heavy emotional and fi nancial turmoil, what you need most is some non-emotional, straightforward, specifi c information and answers. Once you know how a divorce affects your home, your mortgage and taxes, critical decisions are easier. Neutral, third party information can help you make logical, rather than emotional, decisions. Probably the fi rst decision is whether you want to continue living in the house. Will the familiar surroundings bring you comfort and emotional security, or unpleasant memo- ries?

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 25, 2008 durhamregion.com Greenpeace off base with nuclear theatrics To the editor: Re: Greenpeace theatrics. I don’t know what has become of Greenpeace but they don’t represent my views and I consider myself a true envi- ronmentalist. True environmentalists are thankful for nuclear energy and see it is as an important stepping stone towards the elimination of global warming. I like the fresher air in the Ajax/Pickering area as compared to other regions. If Greenpeace does not like nuclear they can live some- where else. If Greenpeace was a sincere organization it would be taking its theatre to the coal mines of the world and would be applauding the efforts of the nuclear contribution to cleaner air. They should be working hard at developing and financing alternate fuels instead of just protesting against nuclear. They don’t deserve front page coverage for their childish antics as they are cer- tainly not environmentalists. Henry Zaczek Ajax C ouncillors who are proponents of incineration are faced with a dream scenario at next Wednes- day’s council meeting. With federal gas tax dollars flowing to Durham, they have the perfect pitch to residents: we can build it and you don’t have to pay for it. Had the money not come through, residents would have certainly been hit with some tax increase to pay for the project. Even then proponents could have argued that it’s worth it in the long run. As it is, the facility would be paid off within six years of opening its doors. In fact, several councillors said they were pleasantly surprised by the math. Our grandchildren won’t be paying Durham’s $155-million share of the facility, as some have suggested. They’ll be paying to dispose their garbage and they’d have to do that regardless of whether the Region chooses incinera- tion or landfill. And even recycling and composting have a price tag, a more expensive one than land filling, but no one’s arguing we shouldn’t do that. But caveats do apply. As many are fond of saying, there is only one taxpayer. Even if the money’s being funneled to Durham Region through the federal gov- ernment, it is our money, Opponents argue the money can be used for any number of other projects including transit and water and sewer. Proponents respond that waste is some- thing that affects everyone in Durham, whereas sewer and water rates should be paid for by those who use it. Many in rural areas don’t. As well, the federal and provincial gov- ernments are currently inclined to pay for transit expansions, so why not take the cash and run with it? Besides, the expansion projects, including bus rapid transit, just aren’t ready yet. The Region’s finance com- missioner has said by the time Durham Region Transit is ready, the federal gas tax dollars will be available again. And let’s not forget, all the provincial gas tax dollars already go to transit. Hypothetically, Durham could sink the gas tax money into a new landfill, pos- sibly a stabilized landfill, somewhere in the region. Sure, Durham would have to find somewhere to ship its garbage for the next decade or so after the Michigan borders close, but it’s certainly a long- term option. Except that it’s essentially a non-starter as council has been clear, no new landfill in Durham. So we’re not OK with build- ing a new landfill in Durham, but we’re okay with shipping it anywhere but here? We don’t have the option of purchasing an existing landfill outside of our com- munity, as Toronto has done. And let’s not delude ourselves, Toronto will be charging a premium to other municipal- ities when the Michigan border closes. Some argue that tipping fees won’t rise as dramatically as the business case sug- gests, or that gas prices won’t rise five per cent per year for the next 25 years. That may well be true. But they could rise faster. The question is, is that a risk the Region is willing to take? The financial analysts retained by the Region certainly said we shouldn’t. In fact, analyst Remo Bucci said Durham would be showing leadership in the GTA by going with a long-term solution to its garbage problem and we would be the only municipality doing so.

Region has strong incineration case Give, but make sure you do your homework first Ajax, Pickering residents have many charitable options ‘Tis the season for giving. No, you haven’t stumbled on a Christmas editorial by mistake. Just look at the schedule of upcom- ing events: Big Bike for Stroke, May 29 in Pickering; Walk for Brock, May 31; Purina Walk for Dog Guides in Ajax, June 1; Dur- ham Chairman’s Charity Classic, June 5; and, Epilepsy Durham Golf Tournament, June 12. No doubt many other fundraising events have been left out of that schedule, which covers only around three weeks. Already this spring this newspaper has done stories on various bike rides, golf tournaments and other fundraisers for charities, all of them worthwhile and all of them needing help. The problem is, there is an infinite amount of help needed but it’s coming from a finite group of people who can only give so much. So how do you decide which charity will get your hard-earned cash, time or sup- port? Although everyone is looking for the quick, easy answer to almost everything in this day and age of sound bites and short attention spans, unfortunately there is no easy answer to this one. Hopefully, your decision isn’t whether you should give to any charity at all. Hope- fully, your decision is which charity (or charities) to help and how you should best go about it. Do your homework. First, find a cause that is meaningful to you. Then find a group that best uses its resources. For example, there are charities out there that contract fundraising out to profession- als. Do you really want your money going toward expenses? In contrast, there are groups who put almost 100 per cent of their funds toward the people or animals they’re trying to help. Everyone can -- and should -- give to those in need. And it doesn’t always have to come from your wallet. You can volun- teer your time for the charity, either on a regular or one-time basis. Or get others on board. Educate others about the charity and its needs. It is unfortunate that many charities choose roughly the same time of year to hold major fundraising and awareness events. No, you can’t be all things to all people, and give all your money and all your time to all the worthy causes there are. But you can be important to one or more groups. Here’s an easy guideline if you’re won- dering who or how to help: As writer and photographer Michelle C. Ustaszeski said, “Be the person you want your children to become.” Reka Szekely How to catch a fake By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM — For as long as there has been legal tender, there has been illegal tender. Counterfeiting is as old as money and it’s not going any- where, said John Huehn, an ana- lyst for the Bank of Canada. “We are never going to see it completely disappear, it will al- ways be around,” Mr. Huehn said at a workshop on checking bills this week in Whitby. Durham has seen an increase in fake $100 bills lately, leading to an arrest last week. Detective John Van Seters said bills are often passed to small businesses when making small purchases like a slice of pizza or cigarettes. He said businesses along the 401 have been tar- geted. That is why it is important for everyone to check every bill they come into contact with, Mr. Huehn said. “It’s extremely important for businesses to check their bills but it’s also important to do so every single time you handle money,” he said. Bills in circulation today were issued by the Bank of Canada to reduce fraud and all new bills have multiple security features. Detection machines are not the answer. Rather, the best way to check a bill is by hand, Mr. Huehn said. Machines only check one secu- rity feature. Training staff to spot a reproduction is the best way to ensure they don’t end up in the cash register. Customers and retailers can refuse a bill for any reason -- if it is ripped, written on or old -- so don’t be afraid to ask for another bill if you think the one given to you might not be real, said Mr. Huehn. Retailers should be familiar with the preferences of local po- lice units when they encoun- ter questionable bills, said Mr. Huehn. Retailers who believe a customer is trying to pay with a counterfeit should attempt to gather as much information about them as possible and pass it on to police, he said. Det. Seters said there is a con- cern for public safety when con- fronting someone who is trying to pass a counterfeit. So retailers who suspect some- one is trying to pass off a bogus bill should delay the individual as much as possible after con- tacting police. A uniformed officer will be dispatched to a business to fol- low-up the matter. The Bank of Canada offers free materials that explain the secu- rity features in bills.

HARMONY CENTRE COMING FROM OSHAWA durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 8 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 25, 2008 Fredy Wingerter to participate in 200-kilometre bike ride By Rachel Calvelli Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — A pair of wheels and a helmet is all it takes to help fight a dreaded disease in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. The bike ride is 200 kilometres over two days starting in Toronto and ending in Niagara Falls. Par- ticipants will camp one night in Hamilton for a break. “This year I turn 50 and that gives me reason to think about many things. I am blessed with good health and a happy fam- ily. Like many of you, I lead a busy life, earning a living, caring for the house and spending time with the kids,” Fredy Wingerter said. “There never seems to be time to volunteer and help oth- ers who do not enjoy the same blessings.” The event is benefiting The Princess Margaret Hospital and takes place from June 20-22. Mr. Wingerter usually bikes recreationally, but has never participated in an event like this before. “I just wanted to do it. I thought it was a good way to raise money,” Mr. Wingerter said. “I never paid attention to things like this before, but I figured I could go in now.” The commute to his work now takes a lot longer, as in- stead of driving Mr. Wingerter bikes from Ajax to Sheppard and Warden avenues in Scar- borough to start pacing himself. “I’ve definitely started train- ing more. The bike ride to work is about an hour and a half each way,” he said. Even though the required do- nation amount is $2,500, Mr. Wingerter hopes to raise a per- sonal goal of $5,000. “I will ride those 200 kilome- tres knowing that the money do- nated will help with research to cure this horrible disease that, in some ways, affects everyone we know,” Mr. Wingerter said. “I will do the peddling (yes, my legs will hurt), my wife Catherine Bossuyt will run my campaign and you can help by support- ing our efforts with a donation.” As far as Mr. Wingerter is concerned, The Ride is a great way to raise money, and he feels fully prepared to start the long bike journey. “Am I ready to bike the 200 kilometres? Yeah, I am ready to do it.” Mr. Wingerter has been person- ally touched by the devastating effects of cancer through a few of his friends. Through The Ride he hopes to give some- thing back to the community. “I have friends who have won the battle and others who have lost the battle. I want to help improve everyone’s chances of survival,” Mr. Wingerter said. To help Mr. Wingerter reach his donation goal, visit www. conquercancer.ca to make a do- nation online or call 416-815- RIDE (7433).

We Qualify for the Children’s Fitness Tax! With the school year coming to a close parents and stu- dents alike are in full-on summer planning mode. For most families, summer is far from the idyllic summer image of long lazy days spent lounging poolside for days on end. Parents fi ll up their children’s summer schedule with day and sleep-away camps, lessons and team sports, activities, and groups. But regardless of how busy your child’s schedule is, be sure to make time for learning this sum- mer! Studies have shown that chil- dren who maintain their learn- ing momentum over the summer months are more geared up for learning in the fall than students who don’t engage in any sort of organized learning during the summer. TRAIN THE BRAIN THIS SUM- MER... Just like a piano player who doesn’t practice before a recital or a marathon runner who doesn’t train before a race, students who don’t keep up some measure of learning dur- ing the summer don’t perform as well when they head back to school in the fall. Because learning is cumulative, students who didn’t engage in academic training during the summer have to spend extra time catching up by reviewing lessons from last year, as opposed to hitting the new grade in stride and moving ahead with the class. Research in the fi eld of summer learn- ing loss shows that during the summer months, students who don’t engage in some form of educational activity can drop the grade equivalency of two months of learning. Students who maintain their learning momentum during the summer are better prepared for academic suc- cess in the fall. ...IT’S EASY WITH OXFORD LEARNING! Luckily, keeping the brain fi t this sum- mer is not as hard as it sounds. Great programs, fl exible scheduling and ex- tended summer hours mean that, in just a few hours a week, students can catch up or reach ahead and main- tain their learning momentum over the long summer break. They can head back to school in the fall ready to learn! Here are just some of the ways that Oxford Learning can help this summer: • Individualized Programs to catch up or enrich • Math Skills and Problem Solving • Reading Comprehension development • Writing and Grammar skills • French Reading, Writing & Communication • Study and Organization skills From preschool through high school, Oxford learning has a program to help every student learn how to achieve their full potential in school.

The Dynamite were one of 12 teams from across Ontario to com- pete in one of the toughest pre-sea- son tournaments. The Ajax girls were in fine form to bring home the championship tro- phy after running past the George- town Mustangs 3-1 in the final. Milan Danford scored all three goals to pace the Dynamite attack. In a hard-fought semifinal con- test against a tough Unionville Strikers squad, the Dynamite got the break they needed as Parys Kerr’s goal stood up in a 1-0 victory to vault Ajax into the final. Courtney Correia had a solid semifinal as she kept Unionville’s key player at bay. An early goal by the Waterloo Spartans in the quarter-final tilt ig- nited the Dynamite as they coun- tered with four unanswered goals for a 4-1 victory and a berth in the semifinal. In their two preliminary contest, the Dynamite cruised past the Erin Mills Eagles 6-0 and Niagara United Chaos 3-0. Kristien Lindo proved a stellar defensive performer throughout the tourney. The Dynamite U9s will get the chance to defend their title at the upcoming Ancaster Heritage Day Soccer Tournament on June 14 and 15. Team members are Raquel Cor- reia, Courtney Correia, Julia Snow, Ciara Todd, Katie Parker, Nicole White, Nicole Dodge, Tonaya Blackstock, Milan Danford, Emily Gauvreau, Parys Kerr, Alexis Fer- reira, Kristien Lindo and Sinead Kappel. Michelle White coaches the team, assisted by Roland Chow and Stephen Lindo. AJAX — Two Ajax Budokan Judo Club members recorded top-five finishes at one of the largest juve- nile-level (14-to-16 years) tourna- ments in the world. The Ajax club sent four athletes as part of the 12-member Cana- dian team competing at the Euro- pean Judo Union Youth Tourna- ment in Berlin recently. Derek Langlois, competing in the minus-55 kilogram weight class, earned a fifth-place finish, losing to the eventual gold medalist from Russia. All told, Langlois piled up five wins at the tournament. Meanwhile, David Ancor chalked up five wins to finish fifth in the minus-66 kilogram weight class. The Ajax club also sent Jakub Walsh (minus-66 kilograms) and Ben Wilk (minus-66 kilograms) to compete for Canada. The Berlin EJU event is the larg- est juvenile tournament in the world with 1,450 competitors from across the world competing in the two-day event. submitted photo Milan Danford was a force in the final game for The Ajax Dynamite girls’ under-nine soccer team, notching all three goals in the win.

Gator girls chomp to semis PICKERING — A tough finish can’t mask an excellent effort by the Pickering 1995 Gators girls’ soccer team in a recent tourna- ment. The Gators faced a strong To- ronto Eagles squad in the semis of the West Niagara Invitational Tournament. The Eagles netted a pair of quick markers, then added an- other before the half and fol- lowed with a pair of second half goals for the 5-0 win. Pickering qualified for the quarter finals with three strong round-robin games. In the quar- ters against the Aurora Stingers, the local girls played their best game of the season, controlling the Stingers on the way to a 3-1 victory. Following a strong finish to the 2007 outdoor season, including a win over a powerful Orangeville Storm, Pickering moved up to Division 1A in the Central Girls’ Soccer League. The Gators are taking part in the West Rouge Tournament this weekend, followed by a league game on Monday. SOME MAJOR STORMS ARE BREWING Unfortunately, I am referring to the financial climate. All indicators point to serious problems in the immediate future. Although Prime has dropped significantly, this year, mortgage rates have barely moved, so this has had little to no effect on stimulating the market. Add to the equation the price of gas, which has a major impact on virtually all items because of the transporting cost, then there are things like natural gas, hydro, and property taxes (which in Oshawa are a joke) and a silly little thing called food. All going through the roof. The next thing will be the Government increasing rates to curb inflation, even though none of these inflation factors are within our control, we will be penalized for the greed of the conglomerates. The new home market is pretty much at a standstill, and the resale market is slowing down. Prepare for the worst, consolidate now, and start to put some money away to cover those stormy times if they come (and I pray they don’t). Use that built up equity in your home to put all your monthly bills into one or two payments. This can save upwards of $1200 a month (net dollars) in monthly output. First and Second financing is available to 100% of current market value for any purpose with good income and credit history. If your monthly payments are starting to get unmanageable, don’t wait, because when thing start to get behind, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain Prime financing. Private mortgage financing is available for those clients that do not quite fit into the regular lending stream. Remember, at Central Funding Group Prime first mortgages are always 1.3% below posted market rates. Make that call today for fast Professional service, with your needs being our ultimate goal.

A season that had begun back in September, the final tournament of the year was the event the Attack had been looking forward to from the beginning. The first day of the volley- ball competition saw the At- tack take an early loss to the top ranked team from PEI, which came back to haunt them in the power pool play seeding for the second day. The girls came out deter- mined on the second day, using their strong defense and offensive firepower to finish the day with an un- defeated 6-0 record and left them in good position for the medal round. In the medal round, Dur- ham first faced off against the Sonics Elite from Nova Sco- tia. The Sonics fought hard but in the end, the Attack took the match in straight sets. Up next was the semifinal match up against Baie-Ma- rines from New Brunswick. Again the girls came out strong, winning in straight sets. The 14U Attack mem- bers are Erica Naccarato, Abbey Fulton, Zinet Wright, Courtney Cullum, Raelyn McCurdy, Chantal Corm- ier, Hailey Coward, Maxine Cudlip, Hannah Cooper, Shannon Dean and Lauren VanQuickenborne. The head coach is Darryl Cooper and is assisted by John Dean and Linda Naccarato.

Do not think of your cover letter as an autobiography; it should be brief and to the point. The purpose of the cover letter and resume should be one thing – it should demonstrate that you meet or exceed the requirements listed in the job description. It should demonstrate that you’re inter- ested in the position, and that you are available to accept the position if offered. Additional information beyond this can be counterproductive, as it dilutes the core purpose of the cover letter and resume. When writing the cover letter, avoid negatives. A cover letter is not the place to explain why you left or are leaving an employer, why there are gaps in your employment dates, etc. These “negatives” are best delivered in person during the interview so that your personality and can counter them. Try to avoid a salary history in the cover letter. Even if the position specifi cally asks for your salary history, providing this information will more likely to cost you a job than not. If the job ad specifi cally says that resumes without a salary history will not be considered, give a historical salary range, and state that your salary requirements are fl exible based on the oppor- tunity the position will provide. Spend time thinking about the layout of your letter, and make it sure that it is easy on the eyes. Your cover letter is not a sum- mary of your resume; instead, its an introduction of yourself and an argument for why you are the best candidate for their company and the specifi c position - ie - avoid the generic cover letter (this point will be noted again in later tips). As noted above, personalize your cover letter if possible. Your cover letter should be addressed to a specifi c person - avoid the “Dear Sir or Madam”. Form letters insult the reviewer’s intelligence and indicate that you, the writer, are broadcasting his/her resume to every em- ployer in the area. Or you have not made an effort to learn more about the company. Generic/ canned cover letters can lead to failure. Even if you do not know the name of the recipient, you usually can fi nd a contact name at the company fairly easily. Go to their company website, and search the “about us” pages for names of individuals to address your cover letter and resume to. It takes a few seconds; however will make your letter stand out.

Life each and every day With out you keeps going on, Even if some days I do not wish it I know I am being selfish and maybe even wrong, but to see you just once more I so very much long. I try to remember all the loving and happy times we were granted to enjoy and share, I try to understand and not cry but to see you once more even only for a moment to let you know just how very much I care. I know that day will eventually come when it's my turn to this world to say goodbye, But until then I shall hold your love close to my heart, and sometimes I shall break down and cry, and I still ask the question why did you have to die? Love forever & Never forgotten Brian LYN STEPHENS August 27th, 1949 - May 27th, 2006 If roses grow in Heaven Lord Please pick a bunch for us. Place them in our Mother's arms and tell her they're from us. Tell her we love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, we do it everyday, But there is an ache within our hearts that will never go away. It's hard going through life without you by our side Mom; we will always love you and miss you dearly, Sam and Kris xoxoxo In Loving Memory of ALAN DUNNING - Age 37 13 years have passed since you were suddenly taken from us Canine Anaphylaxis "Dog Bite" on May 25th , 1995 "A TRIBUTE OF LOVE" Dear Lord put your arms around him And give him a great big hug Tell him it's from his Mum And give him all my love It only takes a little space To write how much I miss you But "Al" it will take the rest of my life To forget the day I lost you Lots of Love "Mum Lyn Dunning" Tony & Brothers Steve & Gary, Sisters Lynda, Donna & Sandra all formerly of "Bay Ridges" & Pickering 1996 BLAZER,daily driver, good shape, 4-wheel drive, works great, $3200 obo, (905)419-1016. 1999 ACURA 3.2 TL $4999; 1999 Concord 140K $3999; 2001 GrandAm $3699; 2001 Hyundai Sonata $3499; 2001 PT Cruiser $4499 others from $1999 certi- fied/e-tested free 6-month war- ranty.
