Vandals set fire to the area early yesterday morn- ing, causing an estimated $5,000 in damage and wrote ‘Jesus Rules’ on an open closet. City gets a say on chairman Vandals strike mosque Officials ask for help in solving north Pickering crime By Mike Ruta Staff Writer PICKERING – The president of a Pickering mosque is asking the community for help in identifying who set a fire at the building early Thursday morning. In an eerie echo of hate crimes that have plagued Toronto and Yo rk recently, vandals set fire to a fence and awning outside the Council of Islamic Guidance’s Al- Mahdi Islamic Centre in Cherry- wood. Spray-painted inside an outdoor closet was, ‘Jesus Rules.’ “If anybody knows anything please come forward and inform the police,” mosque president Ahsan Butt said. Pointing to attacks on syna- gog ues, cemeteries and Jewish homes in the Toronto area, he said, “If this kind of thing isn’t stopped, there’s going to be a lot of unrest.” He said it was fortunate that at around 2 a.m., the mosque’s caretaker awoke to use the wash- room and smelled smoke.

Because the move requires triple majority - support from five of Durham’s eight munici- palities amounting to 51 per cent of the Region’s population - re- gional council voted Wednesday to send it to the local level. “I think we could go through this whole process and find the local municipalities don’t sup- port it,” said Scugog Mayor Mar- ilyn Pearce.”(And while there are 28 members of regional council) it really expands to 64 politicians and we all need to analyze this ✦See Region page 4 ✦See We page 4 A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 26, 2004 www.durhamregion.com PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED HOURS Mon. - Wed. 10-6 Thurs. - Fri. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 Sun. 11-4 TWIN FULL QUEEN KING TWIN FULL QUEEN KING TWIN FULL QUEEN KING WITH ANY MATTRESS SET PURCHASED • Bed Frame • NO PST • Mattress Pad • Bed Rails • NO GST • Comforter • Layaway • Pillow • Set-up • Disposal or old set • Percale Set of Sheets • Local Delivery 4 FREE CHOICES Any COUPON ORTHOPEDIC 20 YR WARRANTY Single Double Queen King $ 239 $ 289 $ 349 $ 539 Set Set Set Set $ 389 $ 459 $ 549 $ 849 Single Double Queen King $ 179 $ 219 $ 279 $ 469 Set Set Set Set $ 319 $ 389 $ 479 $ 759 COMFORT SLEEP 15 YR WARRANTY Single Double Queen King $ 379 $ 489 $ 579 $ 709 Set Set Set Set $ 569 $ 699 $ 829 $ 1089 P O C K E T C O I L P I L L O W T O P P O C K E T C O I L P I L L O W T O P POCKET COIL PILLOW TOP 2 5 Y R W A R R A N T Y 2 5 Y R W A R R A N T Y 25 YR WARRANTY Electric Bed Ambassador Bed ON SALE ON SALE ON SALE $ 189 $ 189 $ 189 Bedroom Suite Iron Futon Sofa Complete Harvard Bunk Bed - Complete $ 1264 $ 1264 $ 1264 FINANCING ACCEPTED rrs TM B UY F ACTORY D IRECT A ND S AVE !!!

Round two under way for hospital petition By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX –Concerned resi- dents of Ajax are taking their fight to save the local hospital to Queen’s Park. Yvonne Bosch, along with a group of other sup- porters, has gathered more than 6,000 signed copies of a petition that they hope to present to the provincial legislature as early as next month. The petition asks the Province to help in the fight to make sure services are maintained at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital and that new ser- vices be added as the pop- ulation continues to grow and age. “I’m not quite sure what they’ll be able to do with (the hospital) board or ad- ministration, but maybe they can speak with them,” Ms. Bosch said. “It’s the only thing we as concerned citizens can do, we have to bring it to their attention.” Ms. Bosch and many others have become con- cerned in recent months with changes at the Ajax hospital and rumours of future moves. “There’s so many people with us supporting it. You wonder if it’s going to help. I don’t think we would have gotten the meetings if we hadn’t spoken up,” she said. The hospital is currently conducting public consul- tations to get feedback on where eight specialized services should be located: Ajax or at Rouge Valley’s Centenary site. “We just want to keep what we have and that’s what it comes down to, that’s what the petition is about,” she said. Ms. Bosch has a strong attachment to the local hospital. She’s seen the hospital built and grow in the 50 years she has lived in Ajax with her husband, a doctor. She has volun- teered at the hospital and her husband worked there until 1991. She started her first pe- tition in December, which was signed by more than 6,000 people, and present- ed it to Pickering and Ajax councils in February. That petition was to be presented to Queen’s Park as well but the format was- n’t right; they needed to have one signature to a page and addresses. “We found out we had to do it all over again,” she said. Ms. Bosch has been kept busy trying to collect 7,000 signatures. She has re- ceived a lot of help from people who share her fears; Friday morning one woman dropped off 50 pages. Ms. Bosch decided to start the first petition after reading a letter to the edi- tor in the News Advertiser by Dr. Romas Stas, a fami- ly physician in Ajax, en- couraging residents to support their local hospi- tal. “I thought ‘are things re- ally so bad? What can we do?’ So I thought about it for a day and a night and I had no idea which way to take, but I thought maybe a petition,” she said. Dr. Stas has been in touch with local members of provincial parliament, Wayne Arthurs and Jim Flaherty, about the situa- tion. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 26, 2004 PAGE 3 P Hop onDown and visit the Easter Bunny! pickeringtowncentre.com Madison from Pickering with the Easter Bunny EASTER BUNNY HOURS Monday to Friday 11am to 3pm and 4pm to 8pm Saturday 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm Sunday 12noon to 3pm and 4pm to 6pm Saturday, March 27th ‘til Easter Sunday at Centre Court Kids’ Easter A ctivity book with every visit!

Chairman claims most in expenses By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Regional coun- cillors and the chairman received more than $1.1 million in salary, mileage, pension and committee re- muneration in 2003. The bulk of that was salaries paid to councillors ($784,626.83), plus $101,369.22 for Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son. Mr. Anderson also claimed the most expens- es, with $24,521.63 for con- ferences and $4,092.63 for the Lincoln Town Car the Region provides. He re- ceived another $1,873.90 for serving on the Police Ser- vices Board. The top regional council- lor was Pickering’s Rick Johnson, who received the base $27,333.18 salary, plus $5,559.31 for being chair of the works committee. He claimed $2,035.36 in mileage and $1,712.13 for conventions. He also re- ceived $3,216 for chairing the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, $2,038.31 for attending con- ventions as a member of the Durham Region Non- Profit Housing Corpora- tion, and $1,608.30 in lieu of pension for a grand total of $43,502.59 (plus his local salary and expenses). Other high-paid council- lors include Whitby’s Joe Drumm at $42,411.96 (with $12,309.34 of back pension pay), former Ajax council- lor Jim McMaster at $40,550.19 (with another $22,176 in severance), for- mer Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt at $40,122.60 and Brock’s Larry O’Connor at $39,184.10. Every councillor and the chair receive an extra five per cent of their total salary in lieu of pension. That totalled $61,566.07. Council came under fire last month when it ap- proved an almost $2 mil- lion salary and benefit in- crease for councillors, the chair, management and staff. As of April 1, Regional Chairman Anderson will receive $151,000, while re- gional councillors will re- ceive just under $40,000. The budget to run re- gional council (including salaries) for 2004 is pro- posed at $1.6 million, a 39 per cent increase from 2003. That includes 23 new BlackBerry handheld data organizers at for a total of $9,500. The chairman’s office budget is proposed at $379,600, a 22 per cent in- crease from 2003. Around $6,000 in computer up- grades is included. with the pros and cons.” A motion to council from Clarington Mayor John Mutton and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish is ask- ing that the regional chair- man be an elected spot by the next municipal elec- tion in 2006. Roger Anderson, a real estate businessman and former Ajax councillor and police officer, currently holds the chairmanship. Mr. Anderson was reap- pointed by regional coun- cil in November last year, and has held the top spot since 1997. Halton and Waterloo re- gions currently have elect- ed chairmen, while Sud- bury, Ottawa and Hamil- ton had elected chairmen until they each amalga- mated. door area covered by a large awning where female members leave their coats and shoes before entering. Firefighters put out the blaze before it could cause any serious damage to the building itself. “We were lucky the per- son woke up,” said Mr. Butt. “The whole building could have burned because there’s hardly anybody around.” Located at Rosebank Road and Concession 3, he says the mosque opened in 1995 and has no sign so as not to attract unwanted at- tention. Mr. Butt says the mosque has around 250 members, mostly from Durham, Markham and To r onto. Apart from a brick or two thrown through windows, he says there have been no prob- lems. “We have no problem with the neighbours; we al- ways try to co-operate with them,” says Mr. Butt, spec- ulating local residents were not involved. He was grateful that Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine and Pickering councillors Mau- rice Brenner and Bill McLean visited the scene Thursday. “I came here really to talk to the people that belong to the mosque to express our organization’s interest in their well-being,” said Chief McAlpine. He says police “will do whatever we can do to ap- prehend who was responsi- ble,” noting it was very early in the investigation. Chief McAlpine said it’s un- clear whether kids or some- one with “a deep-felt ha- tred” set the fire. Mr. Butt says he has no idea who is responsible, but feels there is a link between the hate crimes in Toronto and Vaughan and the fire. The Pickering councillors said at their April 5 meet- ing, council will bring for- ward a motion asking Durham’s police services board to post a $10,000 re- ward for information lead- ing to the arrest of the cul- prits. If the vandals’ intention was to drive the Muslim community from the area, Mr. Butt says they won’t be successful. “This kind of thing actu- ally makes us stronger,” he says, noting there are hate- ful people everywhere. “It’s just upsetting because it’s Canada and it’s a nice com- munity and most of the people are so nice here.” He estimated the dam- age at around $15,000, while police pegged it at around $5,000. Meanwhile, Durham po- lice Sergeant Paul Malik said he doesn’t believe there is a link with an inci- dent at Glengrove Public School. A custodian discovered a wall of the elementary school had been spray- painted over the night of March 23 with a swastika and comments about teachers. Anyone with information about the incident at the mosque is asked to call De- tective Bud Fluke of the Ajax-Pickering Community Police Office’s criminal in- vestigations bureau.

And the Durham works departments says dirty construction sites and loose recyclables are con- tributing to the mounds of litter on regional streets. “It’s not just always kids throwing pop cans and food wrappers... obviously that’s out there, but the two big ones are litter from neighbourhood blue boxes and with the amount of growth in the region, the construction sites, espe- cially north near Taunton and Rossland roads,” said Uldis Siksna, manager of maintenance operations for Durham. The construction-site problem is common right across Durham, Mr. Sik- sna said. The neighbour- hoods and roads sur- rounding new develop- ments are strewn with shingle paper, bits of insu- lation and piles of coffee cups. “These guys just aren’t picking up their garbage,” Mr. Siksna said. “How many times do you go to a construction site and see a garbage can?” The Region is hoping to talk to the Durham Region Home Builder’s Associa- tion about the problem, he added. As for recycling, resi- dents have the best of in- tentions when they put out their recyclables, but it’s no good when papers and plastic bottles get loose and end up on the road, Mr. Siksna said. “People are going to the trouble of putting it out, but don’t go to the trouble of securing it,” he said. The Region recom- mends using two blue boxes and stacking them, with newspapers on the bottom to prevent blowing. Litter pickup cost $193,17 3 in 2003, and the de- partment has budgeted $204,000 for 2004. The annual spring cleanup will begin in late April or early May, Mr. Sik- sna said, adding crews are still dealing with winter maintenance. “We have to get out there (and pick up garbage) be- fore we start cutting grass, or else everything gets shredded,” he said. City works to keep it clean Litter comes back into focus By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – With the start of spring comes warmer temperatures, the melting of snow and the uncovering of litter that has been hid- den for months. City crews have been busy on litter duty the last few weeks trying to pick up the trash appearing all over Pickering as the snow melts. “Once the snow is gone that’s really what our primary focus is - to get the City cleaned up as quickly as possibly,” said Jamie Lowery, superintendent of municipal operations. He said crews start with the high-priority areas, such as schools, and move into other areas, such as residential subdivisions. This week there were four to five crews out focused just on picking up trash. The result has been bags and bags of litter. Mr. Lowery said in addi- tion to sending crews out, the City is also trying to get people to take ownership of the problem. “What we’re trying to do is get (the message) out to residents, community groups and schools to help us: it really helps them. The less we’re out picking up garbage the more we can focus on other items,” he said. “Litter is a priority for the City because it reflects the kind of place you live in.” Although the amount of garbage might seem like a lot, Mr. Lowery said it’s the same as previous years. “In some areas it has got- ten better and in some areas it’s gotten worse, overall it is the same. This time of year with snow melting it’s become more apparent,” he said. As part of the cleanup, garbage cans are being placed in parks. Mr. Lowery said they are emptied at least once a week. The City is also looking at installing more specialized trash cans. These large ca- pacity containers are un- derground and they only have to be emptied an aver- age of three times a year, depending on where they are located. Richard Holborn, direc- tor of operations and emer- gency services, said the next cleanup happens with a blitz of parks in May. “We always have to do that first pick before we start mowing or we end up shredding garbage and we don’t want that,” he said.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving has launched a cam- paign to eliminate conditional sentences for those convicted of impaired driving causing death or bodily harm. They are out there garnering support from the public, and sending a peti- tion off to the federal government. The public should show its support to make sure the feds understand the importance of this issue. Local MADD president Nancy Codlin says the justice sys- tem takes a different approach when dealing with perpetra- tors of gun violence than it does drunk drivers. But the fact is, a motor vehicle with an intoxicated driver is as much a weapon as a loaded gun. Slowly, the justice system is getting the message that drink- ing and driving should be punished with stiffer sentences, but much more needs to be done. Many years ago, drinking and driving or even spousal abuse were behaviours police and the courts treated more as normal than unacceptable. The legal system is slow and it needs to get with the times and follow the groundswell of support to end impaired driving. But, maybe something more drastic needs to be done. In Ohio, for instance, people convicted of operating a vehicle under the influence, even first-time offenders, have to use yel- low and scarlet licence plates on their vehicles if they are given driving privileges. Some may argue that this is a gross humiliation to the dri- vers, but so what? The Canada Safety Council estimates that up to 75 per cent of those convicted of impaired driving disre- gard their licence suspension. For too long this country has put the rights of the guilty ahead of the innocent. If coloured licence plates don't work as a deterrent, at least they can inform other drivers as to the history of the car behind them on the highway. That way, if you saw a scarlet or yellow plate behind you or in front, you would have the option of pulling over to get some separation. And if you saw a car ahead with a coloured plate you would be better prepared to take evasive action. It's time to give the law-abiding public a fighting chance to avoid being killed by a drunk driver. Hospital board disappoints To the editor: I was in attendance at the March 10 public consultation session held in Pick- ering, but was very disappointed to learn only one member of the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS) board of directors was there. It was very unfortunate 14 out of the 15 members of the board - these same individuals whom I understand are most interested in determining the needs and desires of the community - were unable to attend the feedback ses- sion. I look forward to meeting the other members of the board at future public meetings. I also look forward to the opportunity to work with the board in the develop- ment of action plans to ensure, as per the amalgamation agreement of 1998, that the Ajax and Pickering site re- mains a full-service site. Lynda Brisbane Ajax Let’s hear more from younger set To the editor: Re: 'Durham residents deserve an elected chairman,' letter to the editor, March 14. How refreshing to have young David Carnovale so intelligently express his view on this matter. Every adult in the re- gion should be 'up in arms' about the way tax dollars are being spent. No wonder 'cutbacks' on services are being made. Decisions of this nature really should have taxpayers' input. Keep up the good work David. Cana- da needs your generation's perspective.

For those of you who feel the same way that I do about venturing outside during winter weather (it's only necessary when running from your car to work, home, restaurant or mall), the return of double-digit temperatures is enough to make you giddy. This weekend, temperatures are expected to reach as high as the mid-teens, with mostly sunny con- ditions. The only exception being the Environment Canada forecast for Sunday that says it'll be cloudy. But, I prefer the forecast with the unobstructed yellow sun, so it is time to turn off the TV, put away the winter wear (goodbye hot-pink scarf) and head outside for some fresh air. There are plenty of parks, trails and forests in Pickering to keep res- idents outdoors for all 24 hours of daylight this weekend - and busy throughout the spring and sum- mer. For those who enjoy trees, nature and ecologically unique environ- ments, a hike along the trails of Al- tona Forest is a nice way to spend an afternoon. There are five access points to the trails, which vary in length, and a hiking guide is available at www.altonaforest.org. For those who like water with their nature there are several parks along Pickering's waterfront where people can take a stroll, sit and relax, or take their dog for a walk. Beachfront Park at the southern end of Liverpool Road is an ideal location for bird watching; Alex Robertson Park (south of Bayly Street, west of Sandy Beach Road) offers the unique art of Homeplace, as well as a number of trails for run- ning, hiking or cycling; and Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Park offers people the chance to walk around in an environmentally sensitive area. For those who like trees, water and a little more difficulty in their hikes there is Rouge Park. The park, at the Scarborough- Pickering border, is an ideal loca- tion anytime to take in nature, but this Sunday you can get a guided tour as the Rouge Valley Founda- tion hosts a nature walk beginning at 1:30 p.m. Participants are asked to meet at the parking lot east of Little Rouge River on the south side. For more information, visit www.rougepark.com. Pickering also has dozens of community parks with playground equipment, sports fields and green- space to keep you outside until the city is frozen one again.

The agency has openings for community volunteers to sit on its Citizen Review Panel to recommend how funds donated to the Unit- ed Way should be allocated amongst programs and ser- vices serving those in need. The new volunteers join experienced members who are returning for another year. “The best thing about volunteering for the Citi- zens’ Review Panel is meet- ing the wonderful people in- volved in the agencies. Not only did I discover who my United Way contribution is helping, (but) I had the op- portunity of making sure everyone’s contributions went to agencies that lend a hand in my own communi- ty,” said Caryn Antram, a third-year volunteer. They are looking for 10 to 15 new volunteers. “We usually like to have residents of Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge or people who work for companies that support United Way,” said Gwen Noble, a spokesman for United Way. Members of the panel re- view funding applications, visit agencies and join to- gether with other con- cerned citizens to ensure the best possible distribu- tion of funds. Volunteers are asked to commit 20 to 30 evening hours from May to August, as well as a few hours for orientation and training. Those interested are asked to apply by the end of March.

Monarch Kitchen and Bath Cen- tre, located at 1020 Brock Rd. in Pick- ering, is holding an open house March 26 and 27 to accept public do- nations to the ‘The Heroes of Hope’ fund. The campaign, which has al- ready raised $30 million towards building a new Durham Regional Cancer Centre (DRCC) in Oshawa, is looking to gather another $9 million for vital equipment within the facility. Aside from looking to contribute $10,000 of its own, by pledging money from every project sold from April to June, Monarch’s goal is to bring other businesses in the region on board in assisting with the fund. “With the growing population in the Durham Region, the aging of the baby boomers generation, and the existing limitations of the current health facilities to provide timely care for a disease where time is of the essence, it is vital that the communi- ty and members of the business soci- ety answer the call,” said Monarch general manager Laura Gray. The open house runs 5 to 9 p.m. March 26 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 27. Keep your kids healthy kids DURHAM –A ‘Healthy Kids’ lun- cheon will be held on Tuesday, April 13 from noon to 1 p.m., with a semi- nar to follow from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Speaker Sherrie Attila will dis- cuss a variety of topics, including building your child’s immune sys- tem, recognizing signs of ADD/ADHD in children, and chil- dren’s general health.

By Jane McDonald Staff Writer DURHAM –It seems to happen during every rush hour: poorly maintained vehicles break down. No matter if it’s morning or at the end of the week- day, during blizzards, fog or freezing rain - let alone when traffic volumes build at the beginning and end of a holiday weekend - negoti- ating the highways and by- ways of Durham Region can be a challenge without the added hazard of unsafe vehicles. This fact was clearly demonstrated March 19 when a 10-car pile-up on Hwy. 401 westbound near Whites Road in Pickering delayed morning com- muters and caused dam- age to several vehicles. “There were no serious injuries,” said Ontario Provincial Police spokesman Sergeant Cam Woolley. “Some guy was driving along, his hood popped up, he panicked and there was a chain reac- tion when he slammed on his brakes.” Poorly maintained auto- mobiles not only con- tribute to gridlock and traf- fic tie-ups but can be pre- vented by drivers who can ensure the roadworthiness of their cars and trucks. And if they don’t, the po- lice will insist they do. The OPP Whitby detach- ment’s Operation Wreck Check will be held through- out Durham Region Fri- day, May 7, just in time to target unsafe vehicles be- fore the first long weekend of the summer season. Yet vehicle safety is a year-round concern for local police. Constable Caroline Sten- zel has been with the Durham Regional police traffic branch for more than four years. It’s her job to reconstruct the events leading up to serious colli- sions. “Nine times out of 10 we do a safety check on all se- rious collisions,” she said. “So far in 2004, we’ve been called out 14 times. Eight of those were fatal and nine people dead.” But although none of those accidents were proven to have been caused by poor vehicle mainte- nance, Const. Stenzel has seen her share of accidents just waiting to happen. “The worst I’ve seen were brake lines rotted right through,” she says, “and the car was not too old, maybe 10 years old.” Monthly enhanced traffic inspections by Durham po- lice take such autos off the road and a one-day vehicle- safety blitz held in Claring- ton last Nov. 20 resulted in 66 charges and the removal of 27 cars and trucks from the road. A total of 44 vehi- cles were inspected. Of those 27 vehicles found to be unsafe, one was repaired at the scene, while the other 26 had their li- cence plates removed. In three instances, the vehi- cles were in such disrepair that the drivers signed over the ownership papers and just walked away. In some vehicles, police reported they could see the ground through rusted-out f loorboards. In others, seat belts had rusted shut or emergency brakes had seized. One car was so damaged, police don’t know how the driver could see where he was going. The windshield of a vehicle was completely covered with cracks. “Cracks and dirty wind- shields is a big issue,” says Const. Stenzel. “You have to be able to see in front of you. If you can’t see what’s coming, you can’t avoid it.” As recently as March 11, the Durham police traffic branch joined forces with the Ontario ministries of transportation and the en- vironment, plus the OPP for Operation Clean Sweep. Although the reason be- hind the initiative was to get polluting vehicles off the road - 83 out of the 87 vehicles inspected received emission charges - 17 were found to be unsafe and were taken off the road, some in such disrepair that they had to be towed away. According to police, dri- vers should inspect their cars and trucks on a daily basis to help prevent seri- ous collisions. “Tire pressure and regu- lar rotation to prevent un- even wear, which can put the steering out of align- ment are important,” adds Const. Stenzel. “And brakes.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 26, 2004 www.durhamregion.com If you don’t receive “Service Worth Paying For” or have any questions or delivery concerns please call The News Advertiser at: 905-683-5117 CARRIERS COLLECT EVERY THREE WEEKS SERVICE WORTH PAYING FOR 100% is kept by the carrier as payment for their delivery.

Your home is a reflection of yourself and your accomplishments. Likewise, a garage door is an important detail that puts a finishing touch to the face you want to present to your neighbourhood. The facts Canada’s middle-market consumers are trading up. This is a business opportunity for garage door specialists. Nearly five million households (earning more than $50,000) are willing to pay premiums ranging from 20 to 200 per cent for well designed, well-engineered and well-crafted goods that weren’t available to the mass middle market. Businesses offer a wide variety of new high-end products and services, from appliances, consumer electronics, shoes, and sports equipment to renovation materials and wine and spirits equipment. For instance, the appliance industry theorized that people would never pay more that $800 for a pair of laundry appliances. Yet Whirlpool now sells its Duet ensemble for $2,100. Thanks to its European styling and faster, gentler cycles, Whirlpool cannot keep up with demand. The trade-up phenomenon already affects almost every category of goods, inc luding consumables, durables and services. Homeowners and garage owners are mostly middles class. They too are in a trade-up mood: they’re sensitive to well-designed, well-engineered and well-crafted products. Because Canadian middle market consumers are better educated, more sophisticated and more discerning than ever before, they want products that engage their curiosity and imagination. “Industrial Quality Inside’: what does it earn for you? “The ‘Industrial Quality Inside’ concept makes the Garaga residential garage door product line very attractive to middle market consumers,” says Dan Hill of Autograph Door Systems. Easy to grasp, ‘Industrial Quality Inside’ is a quality statement that is well designed, well engineered and well crafted. This quality statement represents quality commitment, and most importantly, for garage door specialists, a quality story. Already 650,000 Garaga customers in North America have acquired a product with ‘Industrial Quality Inside.’ “Garaga door specialists take pride in installing residential garage doors with ‘Industrial Quality Inside’. The advantage is two-fold,” says Hill. “First, we are sure customers will be satisfied; they’ll appreciate the ruggedness of the door system. Secondly, it allows us, the specialists, to stand out because this product is not sold by every Tom, Dick, or Harry.” Components of ‘Industrial Quality Inside’ The quality story of ‘Industrial Quality Inside’ is based on facts. Autograph Door Systems praise the quality of Garaga residential hardware for its greater durability. Fourteen-gauge tracks, anchoring brackets, hinges and reinforcements plates offer sturdiness and strength. “Garaga is known to have the best, most efficient weatherproofing and thermal breaks in the industry. Garaga’s door faces are made of sturdy high- pressure polyurethane injected panels,” Hill says. ‘Industrial Quality Inside’ means the same high-end components used in commercial applications also equal twice the durability. Commitment to a quality solution Depend on Dan Hill of Autograph Door Systems, where they believe in quality workmanship and installation. “A s a garage door specialist, our customers depend on us for the best.” Autograph Door Systems and Garaga Inc. are launching a new garage door concept for the middle market consumer Your home is a reflection of yourself and your accomplishments.

The provincial govern- ment’s ‘intensive support amount’ funding (ISA) is provided for the highest needs special-education students. School boards must submit detailed fund- ing claims to the Province for each student they be- lieve is entitled to receive it. Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford, one of two trustees repre- senting the board at the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, says there’s a chance ISA fund- ing could become a thing of the past. “There have been some very serious talks at the government about replac- ing ISA funding with more of a lump-sum funding,” she told trustees at the March 22 board meeting. “I’d rather they look at the process and keep it in.” She motioned that a let- ter be sent to the govern- ment urging them to keep ISA funding. “I am apprehensive in some ways to send this for- ward,” said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. She noted the long- standing complaint from board staff that the appli- cation process is so time- consuming that it takes away from actual services delivered to students. Trustee Hopper suggested the board might want to take a “sit back and see what happens” approach. “If you wait till the ISA funding is gone, you’re not going to get it put back in again,” Trustee Crawford responded. Board chairman Eliza- beth Roy also asked that the letter specifically ad- dress the board’s concerns over the application process. Board puts off decision pending budget talks By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Public school board trustees have de- ferred a decision on untwin- ning 19 schools that share nine chief custodians, ex- tending a debate that began about three months ago. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler had initially pro- posed the untwinning idea, but at Monday’s Durham District School Board meeting she referred the plan to budget talks. Minutes earlier, Scugog Trustee Steve Martin had motioned that R. H. Cor- nish Public School receive its own full-time, day custo- dian “as soon as possible.” The school has a full-time equivalent of 709 students, and only three other Durham elementary schools have a higher enrol- ment, he said. As well, only four other schools are larg- er than the roughly 70,000- square-foot facility. “For these reasons, R.H. Cornish requires its own full-time day custodian,” Trustee Martin argued. It was his third kick at the can on the issue, as trustees earlier this month turned down his motion to untwin Cornish and Prince Albert public schools. The issue arose when the Cornish and Prince Albert school council chairmen, in January, lobbied the board to untwin their schools, ar- guing the lack of a full-time custodian is a detriment to health and safety and un- precedented for schools of their combined size. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford pressed for a bot- tom line, but the number was once again elusive. Fa- cilities chairman Jack Massie said it would likely mean another $25,000 spent at Cornish. However, he said approving a full- timer at Cornish would cre- ate a new problem. “What about the other part of the twinned assign- ment?” he asked. “What do I twin Prince Albert with?” If Cornish received a full- time day custodian, Mr. Massie said it would reduce custodial time at Prince Al- bert to the point of “not providing sufficient off-shift support to Prince Albert to maintain it.” He explained Prince Albert would lose four hours of evening staff time, when most of the cleaning is done. Trustee Crawford amended the motion, set- ting a $30,000 price limit to untwin Cornish. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra inquired about un- twinning all the schools, prompting a warning from veteran Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. “Everything you do has an implication, and even though it seems like $30,000, everything has a consequence,” she said, ad- vising trustees might want to wait until budget time before considering the deci- sion. Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett argued the move would mean untwinning all the schools, at a cost of up to $300,000. “T.R. McEwen in Oshawa will be here next week,” he said, referring to another twinned school. “This is not something that can be done in isolation.” Trustee Barrett seemed a bit disgusted that, after trustees had earlier dis- cussed the many needs at Durham schools, and how the board cannot meet them all, trustees were con- sidering spending such an amount. “The reality is we have to make choices, and I will not be supporting this motion — again,” he said, calling for a recorded vote. Ajax Trustee Marilyn Crawford was concerned schools requiring upgrades would suffer if trustees ap- proved the motion. Board staff all but confirmed that would probably happen. Fellow Ajax Trustee Lisa Hill successfully motioned that a decision be referred to budget talks. Only Trustee Martin was op- posed. When it came time to consider Trustee Shetler’s separate motion, to untwin all schools, she opted to refer it as well.

Everywhere, I’m met with judging stares from strangers. My vision blurs and images start to spin. Think. “You must reach the phar- macist and tell her you have lost your medication,” I tell myself. It seems easy, but it’s not in this disoriented state. Ah, there’s the pharmacist. But her words of instruction begin to take on a menacing tone. The bottle of tablets she offers up is marked with the word “Poison.” I can take off this headgear they call a virtual hallucination unit, but the 46,000 Ontarians currently diagnosed with schizophrenia aren’t so lucky. Schizophrenia varies in its symp- toms and severity. It interferes with an individual’s ability to think and feel, to distinguish between fantasy and reality. While the exact cause of schizo- phrenia is a mystery, it is believed people may inherit a susceptibility to the illness. It may start slowly over a period of months or years and usually begins to surface in young adults be- tween the ages of 15 and 25. Symptoms include delusions, hallu- cinations, lack of motivation, social withdrawal and the tendency to jump randomly in conversation from one unrelated topic to another. These be- haviours have led to a public percep- tion that schizophrenia is a mental ill- ness that causes sufferers to be vio- lent. In fact, the incidence of violence among schizophrenics is no higher than among the general public. Marlene Whan said her son Phillip’s paranoid schizophrenia came out of nowhere and hit him at age 24, just as he was graduating from university and looking forward to entering law school. “He was hearing voices, said there was a bug in his TV,” she explained. “We even had someone come in and check out the TV but it was fine.” It took 12 years to finally get a diag- nosis, during which time Phillip’s con- dition gradually worsened. Today, he lives at a Colborne Community Ser- vice residence in Whitby, where there is staff on hand around the clock to make sure he takes his medication. Mrs. Whan said with that support, her son has turned a corner and has entered the workforce as a car detail- er, with help from a government job- subsidy program. She wishes she had known about the illness 12 years ago, so her son could have been diagnosed sooner and she wouldn’t have had to watch her family struggle to comprehend it. “People can also be so cruel when you mention anything about mental health,” Mrs. Whan added. “It’s hard to get others to understand that peo- ple with schizophrenia are paranoid. They’re much more scared of you than you are of them.” Wende Wood, a pharmacist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, believes popular images and movies like ‘Me, Myself and Irene,’ have done much to confuse the public when it comes to schizophrenia. “People still have the idea it’s split personality,” she said. “They don’t un- derstand what the person is experi- encing is very real to them.” Because symptoms can start in adolescence, they can be mistaken by parents for signs of drug use. Early treatment is important because schizophrenia is a degenerative dis- ease, added Ms. Wood. “The newer medications are a lot better but we’re still treating more the symptoms than the cause, because we don’t know the cause,” she ex- plained. “And the sad reality is even the newer (drugs) have side effects.” These can include restlessness, weight gain and problems with sexual function and are often the reasons many people with schizophrenia re- sist taking their medication. Pamela Khan, a senior lecturer for the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Nursing, said people may cope at first with the symptoms, but eventually they will interfere with daily function. “The voices aren’t always bad though,” she added. “Yes, some are accusatory but some are friends. One person once told me they had a voice that told them jokes.” Pharmaceutical company Janssen- Ortho developed the virtual halluci- nation unit with the goal of under- standing schizophrenia and psy- chosis, said national manager Carol- Ann DaSilva. It travels the country simulating the real experiences of people who have the illness, and the headgear made a stop at the Whitby Mental Health Centre March 16 for a public presentation about psychosis for those who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and their families. Reaction to the unit was strong at the presentation, with some people even developing headaches after tak- ing part in the demonstration, said Karen Ross, an assistant workshop organizer for the Canadian Mental Health Association. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Gillian Mann uses a virtual reality machine to experience the effects of psychosis. Carol-Ann DaSilva is an administrator with the program ‘First episodes of psychosis,’ which is put on by the Canadian Mental Health Association. New Herongate show is ‘loaded with laughs’ Jeff Hayward Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM –Herongate Barn Theatre is looking to use a little comedy to wel- come spring. Its next production, 'Get- ting Mama Married,' is set to begin today, (March 26). Herongate describes the play as being "loaded with laughs," namely a woman's daughter trying to get her mother back on the horse to try marriage again. 'Mama,' Ann Finnery, has lost her husband to a younger woman. So, she swears off men forever in the play, with her daughter Julie playing matchmaker with some unlikely suitors. Finnery is portrayed by Marion Reid-Clarke of Bowmanville. She said de- spite the play having a comical nature, it also has other elements. "There's some lovely, poignant moments be- tween the mother and daughter," she explained, adding the play also has a dramatic flair. She said the two-sided nature of the performance was interesting to her. "I'm enjoying rehearsing (the play), it's very chal- lenging to bring out the comedy and the drama (at the same time)." The play also stars Geof- frey Coulter of Oshawa in the three-person show, which originally consisted of five. Instead, Coulter will play three different male roles, quite a task, he said. "I was a little hesitant to do it at first," he explained. "Not all of the characters are comedic... some are pretty serious." He added that this cur- rent play ranks high with the toughest acting pro- jects he has taken on in his acting experiences, which date back to 1989. "I'm always up to the challenge," he said. The play originally con- tained three acts, however, the first and second act have been combined as one. It will run about one- and-a-half hours. The production runs Thursday to Sunday evening until May 8. Tick- ets are $43.95 including taxes, and must be booked in advance by calling the theatre group at 905-472- 3085. Dinner is included in the price. To find out more about Herongate, visit the We b site at www.heron- gate.com.

Home in Pickering for the f irst time since winning the world indoor 60-metre hurdles championship in Budapest, Hungary, Felicien was named female athlete of the year at the 31st annual Canadian Sport Awards in Toronto Tuesday night. "I was shocked and very happy to win," says the 23-year- old, who also served as a pre- senter during the evening. "I didn't know what to expect. I didn't have anything prepared, but my manager said I should write a few things down, just in case." The national sport award fol- lowed the 2003 Canadian Press female athlete of the year award she received after winning the 100m hurdles title at the IAAF world championships in Paris last August. "Most of my accolades are from my college career, but to have them come from my coun- try is an amazing thing," she says. The Canadian Sport Awards ceremony was televised nation- ally on CBC on Wednesday night. Diver Emilie Heymans and skier Melanie Turgeon were also nominated for the female athlete of the year award. Felicien is also one of 12 peo- ple to be honoured with a Harry Jerome Award, which recog- nizes excellence in the black community. She is one of five to receive awards as a youth trail- blazer. The awards recognize African Canadians in the fields of acad- emics, athletics, arts, business, community service, leadership, media and entertainment, pro- fessional excellence and tech- nology and innovation. Felicien is up for another hon- our next month, as she's a final- ist for Ontario Female Athlete of the Year award at the 37th annual Ontario Sport Award. The award is handed out April 2. Triathlete Lisa Bentley, of Caledon, and trampolinist Karen Cockburn, of Toronto, are also nominated in that cate- gory. Home on a brief March break from her kinesiology studies, she's headed back to the Uni- versity of Illinois in Champagne on Saturday to resume her training for the 2004 Olympic Summer Games in Athens. Feli- cien continues to use the uni- versity as her home base under the tutelage of longtime college coach Gary Winckler. "I'm looking forward to going back to Champagne to train and to focus with not too many distractions," she says. Her second world hurdling conquest at the indoor champi- onships in Budapest earlier this month, she admits, was even more personally satisfying than her breakout gold-medal perfor- mance at the outdoor worlds. And, the reason is contained in one name: Gail Devers. "It was sweet; a little bit sweeter than Paris," says Feli- cien, who set a new Canadian indoor record, 7.75 seconds, in the 60m hurdles final. "I loved the fact she was in the final. In Paris, she wasn't, and everyone kind of thought that I had won by default. It proved I wasn't a one-hit wonder. "I'm not intimidated by Gail. I was in the blocks and I was de- termined. When she's in a race, you know you're going to run fast. I ran a time that I didn't think I could run right now and I got a gold medal to boot." Much like Paris, she had a strong feeling she had won gold, but wasn't willing to celebrate until seeing confirmation on the scoreboard. "I felt like I had took that one, but instead of prancing around, I decided to wait and see, just to save me from any embarrass- ment." She's slated to run at the prestigious Drake Relays in Iowa April 22, where she made history as the first athlete to ever claim titles in the universi- ty section and invitational sec- tions of the same event, the 100m hurdles. She's thankful that a slight snafu regarding her entering the 2004 edition was cleared up. It seems her major sponsor, Nike, had pencilled her in to run at the Penn Relays, also on April 22. She was, how- ever, granted her wish to run again in Iowa. "I love the Drake Relays. I told them I'd be back; I kind of owe them," she says. Her summer track itinerary is still being worked out. She does know, however, that she will run several meets in the U.S. as well as some pro circuit meets in Eu- rope before heading to Athens. She's tentatively slated to run in the Modesto Relays and the Home Depot Invitational, both in California in May. Following that, she may run in several pro meets in Rome, Paris and the Czech Republic in June. She'll return to Canada for the Canadian Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials in Victoria, B.C. July 9 to 11 . There, she'll attempt to win her fourth Canadian 100m hur- dles title. Tw o-time world champion hurdler Perdita Felicien garnered more national accolades this week by winning female athlete-of-the-year honours at the Canadian Sport Awards in Toronto on Tuesday. Earlier this month, she edged out her chief rival, American Gail Devers, left, in the women’s 60-metre hurdles final at the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

SCARLETT-HARMON May 25, 1958 - March 26, 2001 In loving memory of my beautiful daughter who was brutally murdered 3 sad years ago. From our happy home and circle God has taken one we loved, Borne from sin and sorrow to a nobler rest above. No one knows how much we miss her, None but aching hearts can tell; Lost on earth but found in heaven Jesus does all things well. Sadly missed by Mom Louise, Brothers, Sisters, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, Aunts, Lots of friends DANIELLE SCARLETT HARMON February 7, 1995 - March 26, 2001 In Loving memory of my beautiful granddaughter, who died tragically with her mother, three sad years ago. A little lamb too sweet and pure Upon the earth to roam no more, An angel came so silently And took our dear little Danielle home. Sadly missed by Grandma Louise, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, God parents, and friends Thank You Geophrey Curl 1923 - 2004 The family of the late Geophrey Curl wish to express our sincere appreciation to the many friends, relatives and golf buddies of Geoph for their acts of kindness and sympathy in our loss of a great husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and Dad to all the foster children.

Also thanks to Audrey and Roy Parker for pro- viding the shuttle van. No words are enough to express our heartfelt thanks. To the pallbear- ers, thank you. And, thanks to Ken Reilly for his reading and to Tammy Noyon for her eulo- gy, punctuated by the roar of snow sliding from the roof of the Brooklin United Church. Thanks to Reverend Paul Irwin for his com- forting words and support, and to the UCW ladies for the luncheon after the interment. Thanks to the Brooklin Memorial Chapel's Rick & Brenda Barnes and Patty Scott and to Patty for the beautiful music at the church ser- vice. Many thanks also to the ambulance per- sonnel, and the staff at Lakeridge Hospital, Port Perry for the care that Geoph received. Geoph hoped that when it was his time, he would not be too long in going. His prayer was answered. We all miss him, the quiet man. Love to all, -the Curl family Card of Thanks Bergsma, John We would like to express our sincere, heartfelt thankyou to all our family, friends and co-workers for their kind expressions of sympathy, cards, beautiful floral tributes and memorial donations.
