The undercover cop, who can- not be identified because of a publication ban, told prosecutor Paul Murray Wednesday that he was surprised Mr. Hall spoke so freely of the investigation. “Sean indicated homicide was all over him,” the officer testified in a Whitby courtroom. “I was surprised for someone to talk about something like that after meeting someone for the first time.” The Durham Regional Police officer said Mr. Hall mentioned the murder investigation “within a half hour” of their meeting at a Brantford apartment building in July of 2001. “Sean liked to talk,” the officer told the court. “He couldn’t stop talking about himself.” The officer was the first of three undercover Durham cops scheduled to testify at the trial of ✦See Hall page 4 Province reveals its plans But residents have plenty to say about Seaton vision By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – A provincial team of consultants came to Picker- ing Tuesday to present the op- tions for development in the Seaton lands, but it was resi- dents who did most of the talk- ing. The original agenda was changed to allow for three hours of questions from the more than 100 people who at- tended the planning and design workshop at Gandatsetiagon Public School. John van Nostrand, one of the planners leading the devel- opment design for the provin- cially owned lands, did get a chance to make a few opening remarks before being bombard- ed with questions and com- ments. “We are drawing very close to the point where we will have a plan for north Pickering,” he said, adding they hope to have a plan in front of cabinet by the end of the year. David Grey Eagle Sanford, representing the Huron Wen- dat First Nation, was one of the f irst to speak. “Nothing is going to happen in Seaton, no land is going to excavated until the ORC and the McGuinty government re- spect the decision of the courts and the history of my people,” he said. “These lands are sa- cred, we can’t let anybody de- stroy them and we won’t.” Several members from Pick- ering council were on hand in- cluding Mayor Dave Ryan. “I was surprised when I ar- rived here that we aren’t just talking about Seaton but we are also talking about the agri- cultural preserve,” he said. ✦See Province page 5 Prices and specifications are subject to change without notice.

For Pentti Lassila, hearing that was one of the highlights of the state-of-the-hospital ad- dress at the Ajax Community Centre Wednesday night. “It’s gone and I love that,” he said. “That means we are in the po- sition to develop into a full-ser- vice hospital.” Mr. Lassila attended one of the consultation sessions in the winter where the hospital was seeking input on making siting decisions. The hospital was considering offering several low-volume ser- vices at either the Ajax or the Centenary site. The hospital has since decided to leave those services as they are. “People told us loud and clear they did not support the con- cept of service consolidation or complementary services,” said board chairman Kathryn Ram- say. “We listened and as a re- sult, complementary services is not a direction we will be pursu- ing.” Ms. Ramsay said there was another key message hospital officials received. “One of the most important messages that came forward from the consultations is that the hospital must continue to involve stakeholders, including staff and community members, as plans are made for the fu- ture. We are committed to doing this and this evening marks part of that initiative.” Based on the feedback re- ceived in the consultations, the hospital decided to focus its ef- forts on four areas: quality, growth, partnerships and com- munity involvement - of which the state-of-the-hospital ad- dress is part of. There are to be two addresses a year. Mr. Lassila believes they’re a good idea. “It’s really excellent to have these forums because the pub- lic can exchange ideas with the executive and board members and they can answer their ques- tions,” he said. He did say he would like to see them more than twice a year. The inaugural address in- cluded speeches from Ms. Ram- say, president and chief execu- tive officer Hume Martin, Car- men Salmon, president of clini- cal programs and services, and Gloria Zive, vice-president of planning and partnerships, and board member Jay Kaufman. It was attended by numerous staff and board members, resi- dents, volunteers, and MPP Jim Brownell (Stormont-Dundas- Charlottenburgh), who was re- cently appointed parliamentary assistant to Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman. Mr. Brownell said he would take what he heard back to Mr. Smitherman. Wendy Holliday was another resident on hand for the ad- dress. She has been closely fol- lowing the situation at the hos- pital and said she didn’t learn anything she didn’t already know. “For me because I’ve kept up with the hospital, nothing I heard was new,” she said. Topics touched on were the shortage of doctors and nurses in Ontario, probable funding for the Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem, how the hospital was going to lower its cost per case, hospi- tal expansion, and community advisory groups. “I see the attempt (to com- municate) but I still see (them) not answering questions specif- ically,” Ms. Holliday said. “You don’t just put money into some- thing or volunteer or donate without knowing the plan.” PICKERING –A fund-raiser held earlier this month is helping make life a little easier for one Pickering family. Sutton Group Heritage Realty organized a fund-raiser for Shel- ley Enright, a former employee, and her husband Sean. Trying to rescue an animal from a tree last year, Mr. Enright received an electrical shock and fell from a ladder, breaking his neck. He is now a quadriplegic. Money was raised to help the Enrights with unexpected ex- penses, such as renovating their bathroom to make it wheelchair accessible and purchasing a wheelchair-accessible van. The event raised $14,486 for the family and money is still coming in. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 25, 2004 PAGE 3 P I am a cheetah.

The Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital is starting the group for those who have experi- enced the death of a parent, part- ner, child or friend more than two months ago.

The meetings are every Tues- day for six weeks, beginning Aug. 3, and there are two times avail- able: 3 to 4 p.m. or 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The meetings are at the Ajax hospital, 580 Harwood Ave., on the third floor’s west wing.

Former co-workers sold on helping city woman and family Mr. Hall and co-accused Cosmo Jacobson. The two men, formerly of Pickering, are charged with first-de- gree murder in the slaying of Roy Jones. Mr. Jones was shot sev- eral times and left to die on a street near his Ajax home on Feb. 4, 2001, just days before he was to testify against the accused, who faced charges in relation to a home invasion in 2000. The case is being heard by Superior Court Justice Donald Ferguson and a jury of eight men and four women. Earlier this week, the un- dercover officer described how he and a partner were given the assignment of getting to know Mr. Hall, identified as a person of in- terest in Mr. Jones’s mur- der. Moving into an apart- ment just two doors from Mr. Hall’s in the Brantford building, the two cops pre- sented themselves as suc- cessful criminals, driving high-end vehicles and hint- ing at the big bucks their capers pulled in. One day soon after mov- ing into the building, the officer invited Mr. Hall - who had earlier become ac- quainted with his under- cover partner - over for a drink. The “chatty” Mr. Hall was soon talking about his troubles with the law, his lack of work and the fact he was “starving” - broke - the officer testified. Mr. Hall expressed his desire to become involved with organized crime, the officer said. “I want to be big,” the cop quoted Mr. Hall as say- ing. The officer said several times during the after- noon, during which the cops invited friends of Mr. Hall over for drinks as well, the accused alluded to a killing, the investigation by Durham homicide cops, and a friend of his being in jail after his bail was re- voked. Court heard a number of weeks ago Mr. Jacobson, free on bail while awaiting trial on the home invasion robbery charge, wound up back in jail when his cousin pulled his surety soon after Mr. Jones was killed. Mr. Hall rambled on about killing a witness and wanting one of his col- leagues to kill a police offi- cer, the undercover cop told the court. Playing the role of a sea- soned criminal, the officer pulled Mr. Hall aside and chided him about dis- cussing his legal problems openly, court heard. The officer also said he cau- tioned Mr. Hall about openly smoking marijuana, something he did with fre- quency. It is expected court will hear several days of testi- mony from undercover offi- cers, including excerpts of secretly taped conversa- tions they had with Mr. Hall. After almost two months of testimony aimed at building its case against Mr. Jacobson, the Crown has shifted its attention to Mr. Hall. It is expected tes- timony will continue until the end of July.

The City’s plan leaves more of Seaton protect- ed but it develops the south- ern portion of the preserve, which the Province wants to remain agricultural. “I would like to leave here with some sort of understand- ing that the growth manage- ment study will form some sort of a basis (for your plan) because it is current informa- tion and it is (based on) sci- ence,” Mayor Ryan told Mr. van Nostrand. Under the options presented by the consultants, 53 per cent of the land in Seaton is to be protected as natural heritage. The pledge in the Liberal plat- form was to protect two thirds of it. Mr. van Nostrand presented three options for the land to be developed; the first would see development for 45,000 resi- dents with density of 30 units per hectare, the second would see 55,000 residents, with den- sity of 35 units per hectare, and the third with 60,000 resi- dents with density of 40 units per hectare. The three options have vari- ations in neighbourhood num- bers and design, as well as the placement of the employment lands. The land is going to be de- veloped mainly by developers who are receiving the land through a land swap with property on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Province has not released the details yet. Sever- al people on hand called for those details to be released be- fore any planning is done. Resident Sandy Rider won- dered if the plan laid out by the consultants with input from the public would be the plan that actually takes shape. “We would all like a reassur- ance that the model you’re going to put in would be ac- cepted by the developers,” she said. “We know that they have particular concerns and needs and there is a huge challenge to marry those concerns and needs with those of the com- munity,” Mr. van Nostrand re- sponded. Geraldine Hollinger and her husband Brian farm on the preserve. His family has lived there for generations. She said everyone is planning what can be done with their land but no one is asking them. “If you think we can stay agricultural forever and ever you’re not living in the real world,” she said. “It will not work forever and ever and ever.” Neil Malcolm farms on Hwy. 7 in Seaton on land expropri- ated by the Province from his family more than 30 years ago. He wants the opportunity to buy back his land and contin- ue to farm. He couldn’t stay to speak Tuesday night because he had to return home to tend to his farm but he spoke with the News Advertiser Wednesday. “Being one of the few origi- nal owners operating farms in the Seaton area we feel we have a unique status and should be given consideration ahead of developers,” he said. Province presents three options for Seaton lands ✦ Province from page 1 DAVE RYAN Wants growth study considered. JOHN van NOSTRAND Moving closer to having plan. Stay busy, but not too busy C ongratulations kids - you’re free! School’s out and a summer of fun and memories awaits. To set you off, here are a few words of advice for your summer holidays. First off, enjoy the slower pace, “summer’s pace,” as a poet said. Yo u’ve had a mountain of home- work to get through this year, and on many nights I’m sure it was quite a scramble. Don’t race around all summer planning and doing stuff to keep busy. Slow down and relax a bit. You want to be rested when Sep- tember rolls around, not burned out. While you’re taking it easier, pick up a book once in a while, not because you have to, but be- cause reading is fun. There’s something special about sitting outside with a good book in nice weather - whether it’s at the cot- tage or in the backyard. Check out a few Canadian authors. I highly recommend Alice Munro, a national treasure, in my opinion. Her books are story collections, perfect for summer. As you’re en- joying a book, you’ll be keeping your reading skills sharp. Don’t spend the summer in front of the television playing video games. After half a year of cold and/or snowy weather, get outside. If you’re not playing or- ganized sports, get together with friends for some baseball or soc- cer or whatever strikes your fancy. There are a lot of cool places around here to spend a day out- doors. My favourite is the Rouge valley, a great place for exploring. Just make sure you tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to be back. Something tells me parents out there believe I’m advocating lazi- ness - I’m not. But I recently read that today’s young people are so busy all the time with school and other activities that they’re be- coming stressed out. I believe it. Kids should have some time to be kids. No, not lazy, but non-frantic. That doesn’t mean being a slug all summer. I’m sure your folks don’t have two months off, so help them out. They deserve to enjoy summer as well. Cut the lawn without being hounded, and clean up around the house now and then. They’ll be grateful and you’ll feel good for helping. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion.com. Hey kids, take it easy this summer Mike Ruta s t a f f w r i t e r P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 25, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Three cheers for democracy And don’t forget all those people who give time to make it work C andidates of all stripes depend upon the kindness and passion of volunteers to bring democracy to the forefront in every campaign. While there is no doubt that parties spend millions to ad- vertise their messages and fly their leaders from coast to coast, real grassroots democracy boils down to hard, most- ly unpaid, work. It’s this army of devotees who make it all happen. It all starts with the candidates themselves who make the sacrifice to run for office. For the most part they believe in their party’s platform and seek to make a difference for their community. They should be applauded for their ef- forts regardless of their political affiliation. These candidates, who have to step up and put them- selves forward in a very public and often painful way, must f ind the people who will make phone calls, help canvass, put up and replace lawn signs, attend events to support the nominee, drive voters to the polls on election day and gen- erally put up a positive front for them for five solid weeks. We’ve heard much in the past decade about declining voter turnout, apathy and a general lack of involvement in politics at all levels. Many voters - and non-voters - seem to take the whole process for granted. They may not realize or care that many thousands of people care passionately for democracy and put in the effort to allow people a choice on voting day. It’s not reasonable or sensible to expect everybody to find a place or want to get involved in a political campaign - though candidates would gladly have you if you showed an interest. What is fair, however, is to expect all those who have the right to vote, to at least show up at an advance poll or on election day to make a choice. Take some time over the next few days to look at the party platforms, policies and the local candidate running in your riding. Ask yourself some hard questions about what the parties stand for. Is there anything there you can identify with? If you don’t like any of the alternatives offered to you, spoil your ballot. At least make the effort to be heard on election day. While the candidates and volunteers deserve credit for putting in the time to boost democracy, in the end, it all comes down to you. Our wallets are not politicians’ personal banks To the editor: By now all residents of Pickering should have received their final proper- ty tax bill for 2004, incorporating the re- cent rate hike. Regarding such, I would like to express my frustration and dis- appointment of the indifference and resignation of our city’s residents to- ward the rate hike as if it were a fait ac- compli. As citizens of Pickering, we are one and all charged with the duty of not only ensuring our city remains a safe and wonderful place to live, but also afford- able. By not being more vocal in our dis- pleasure with such a tax hike, we in fact condone the very act itself and by doing so can look forward to annual hikes for many years to come. I implore you one and all to stand and express your opinions on this issue fer- vently. Contact your ward councillor, the mayor and inform them that tougher decisions must be made. Like all organizations these days, our council must learn to do more with less. Our council must be made to under- stand it cannot use the great citizens of Pickering’s wallets as their personal piggy banks solely because they cannot or will not make the very decisions we elected them to make in the first place.

Durham District School Board trustees in March approved Phase 1 of their third plan, with new elementary schools slated in 2005 for Ajax, Oshawa and Whit- by. Originally, trustees planned to pay the $27.7 million cost by bor- rowing $15.2 million and making up the difference with capital re- serves. Trustees on Monday agreed, however, to borrow $20 million and use $7.7 million in reserves. It sets the stage for another capital project, since trustees also ap- proved Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy’s motion for an assessment to determine where the next pro- ject should go. “I’m not hiding anything,” she told her colleagues. “I’m definitely trying to get something for Whit- by. If we have the ability to ad- dress something now, I think we should have it addressed.” Arguing that several areas of Whitby need more pupil places right away, Trustee Roy voted against the accommodation plan after trustees wouldn’t agree to add a fourth school to it. “Our communities are crying out; they’re crying out loudly,” she said Monday. Trustees will receive a new pupil place needs assessment re- port, likely at the August board meeting. It will show where the greatest accommodation pres- sures are for the coming school year, providing direction to trustees if they choose to proceed with another project. Trustees are slated to receive staff’s recom- mendations for Phase 2 of the building plan in late September or early October. Education Minister Gerard Kennedy last December asked school boards to avoid closing fa- cilities until after September, ex- pecting by then to have reviewed funding policies that compel boards to close schools. But, with no further word on that front, Trustee Roy said, “we have to move along” on meeting needs. Several trustees slammed the minister and the Province in gen- eral for leaving them in the lurch. “We’ve got to start playing catch-up,” said Whitby Trustee John Dolstra, who supported the assessment. “I’m tired of waiting on the Province of Ontario.” “(Mr. Kennedy) is tying our hands in programming; he’s tying our hands in building,” said Ajax Wa r ds 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford. “I don’t think he has a clue.” “The ministry is not moving; they’re not making decisions,” added Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler. Trustee Roy says her goal is to identify an additional project, noting it might turn out to be a school addition and not a new school. NE064F204 ©2004. Sears Canada Inc.

Marlene Avery, a member of the board’s special education advisory committee, addressed trustees at the June 21 board meeting. She fears if the roughly $2.3 mil- lion isn’t spent in the current budget, the Province will see it as a sign the board does not require additional funding. “We have extra money sitting there,” said Ms. Avery. “So why on earth would the min- istry say, ‘they didn’t use that money, so we should give them some more?’” She says trustees should decide “based on the needs of the students in this board,” and not as if they’re running a business. “A re trustees prepared as a group to expend resources?” Ms. Avery asked. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy replied she would not give a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer to the question. She agreed, however, that the Province has hinted that, “if you have reserves, you may lose out as a board.” The board and others are still waiting for the rest of their special education money from the Province for the coming year. As a result, there is currently a $2.8-million short- fall in the board’s budget, and pro- gram cuts are pending if the money isn’t forthcoming. The board plans to increase the number of educational assistants in the system by 61 in 2004/05, for a total of 777 full-time equivalent positions. Forty-six casual positions, however, are to be dropped. Business superintendent Ed Hod- gins, in an interview, says the reserve is intended for one-time initiatives and not baseline expenditures, since the latter represents “an ongoing commitment” in future budgets. Student trustee pushes Pickering High’s case DURHAM – Why Pickering High and not Sinclair? New student trustee Amanda Canavan posted the volatile question at the June 21 Durham District School Board meeting. Trustees have seen the Pickering High School student before. On sev- eral occasions, Ms. Canavan has urged trustees to address the many needs at her crumbling school. She’s one of two student trustees on the board this fall. At the meeting, Ms. Canavan re- ferred to a recent staff recommenda- tion to trustees. For a Scugog school to get its own full-time day custodian, namely to un-twin the school from an- other, staff says refinishing a gym floor at PHS, at a cost of $60,000, would have to be dropped from the coming year’s budget. To un-twin all the board’s schools sharing a custo- dian, staff recommends dropping a slated $250,000 paving job at Port Perry High School. Ms. Canavan noted a $200,000 brick repair job slated for Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, asking how the PHS and Port Perry schools are “looked upon to be the least in need.” Rather than refinish a gym floor at PHS, she says the $60,000 could be better spent. “I know many places in the school where it could go to brick repairs,” she said. “Is it to pit one school against an- other?... I don’t think that was the in- tent,” replied board chairman Eliza- beth Roy. She says staff was showing the effect of un-twining, namely that the money would have to come from somewhere if trustees vote in favour if it. When Ms. Canavan repeated her question, Trustee Roy replied, “we’re definitely listening.” A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 25, 2004 www.durhamregion.com DIANE COUTURE 78 Albert St @ corner of Bruce (905) 725-2790 Advice on proposals bankruptcy and alternatives.

The Oshawa resident has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, and requires a wheelchair. Until recently, his means of entry into his house was less than ideal: a piece of plywood with bricks underneath it, says longtime friend Paula Ferry-Winneck. Not any more. A group of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School stu- dents designed and built Mr. Conners a new ramp, installing it June 17. It was the culmina- tion of a project by the Ajax school’s Grade 12 design tech- nology class and teacher Rob Julian. The project extended beyond a school-based exercise for the pupils, Mr. Julian says. “I hope they’re going to get some understanding of people in need, who live a totally differ- ent life than they do,” he says. Mr. Julian’s wife, Denise, makes coats for people in wheelchairs and donated one to Mr. Conners last year. One thing led to another and Mr. Ju- lian and the students decided to take on the ramp project. Millwork Home Centre in Os- hawa donated materials; the students and Mr. Julian provid- ed the labour. Ms. Ferry-Winneck says her friend is “very grateful” to Mr. Julian and the pupils. “It just looks great,” she said Friday. “They were working till eight o’clock last night. It was a long day, a long, wet day, but the kids hung in there.” After a stint at a long-term care facility, and following the death of his wife, Liz, three- and-a-half years ago, it ap- peared Mr. Conners would have to rely upon family to take over the care of his two boys, Dar- ren, 14, and Adam, 12. But, with his friend’s help and encouragement, Mr. Con- ners made the courageous deci- sion to keep his family together and move into a house. He has three, live-in caregivers, a fourth person who helps with the boys during the evenings most of the week and, of course, Ms. Ferry-Winneck. She describes Mr. Conners as “stubborn” and “spontaneous.” “He has a great sense of hu- mour,” adds Ms. Ferry-Win- neck. “He has a great smile. He always has a great smile for people, even if he’s in pain. He likes to have fun.” She admits she likes to give him a rough ride sometimes — to keep him smiling. “I drag him around shop- ping,” she says. “I told him, ‘if I’m buying your groceries you’re coming along’.” Ms. Ferry-Winneck asked Mr. Conners to make a list of every- thing he wanted to do, and found out he had never been to a concert. A Fleetwood Mac show later, and that’s crossed off the list. A hot-air balloon ride is in the works. Nine years ago he was given two to four years to live. But, with support and a great atti- tude, Mr. Conners proves that prognosis wrong every day. Still, Ms. Ferry-Winneck says ALS is a terrible disease. In Mr. Conners’ case, the loss of mus- cle control has extended into his neck. “Every year it seems he loses something,” she says. “That’s what’s so tough about this dis- ease.” Ms. Ferry-Winneck spends a lot of time with her friend — not an easy task as she’s married, has three children and works. But, helping Mr. Conners and the boys is not a job to her. “When I did all this I never re- ally realized what I was getting into,” she says. “But, now it’s like a ministry to me; I would never leave these guys.” Walter Passarella/ News Advertiser photo Gil Kelly, front, and other students from the Grade 12 design technology class at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School put the finishing touches on a gift for Oshawa resident Kim Conners, who suffers from amyotrophic lateral scle- rosis. The class built a ramp for his home. To the first 100 customers on Saturday,June 26th! DON’T MISS OUT! THIS SATURDAY ONLY! FREE $10 Store opens at 8:00 am (some exceptions may apply).

Durham Regional Police re- ceived a call from a concerned citizen around 4 o’clock in the morning. The man noticed a pair of legs sticking through the front door glass of a business on Har- wood Avenue. Officers attended and found the would-be thief, still stuck in the window security bars. Fire- f ighters were called in to free him. Police located a stolen van in the parking lot, as well as tools they believe were used to pry the se- curity bars open. Kenneth Paul Battle, 27, of Ajax is charged with two counts of break and enter with intent; theft over $5,000; theft under $5,000; possession of break and enter tools; posses- sion of property obtained by crime; mischief under $5,000 and attempted theft. DURHAM – Mark Holland an- nounced Tuesday he is taking a week’s leave of absence from his council duties until after the fed- eral election. The Pickering Ward 2 regional councillor is the Liberal candidate for Ajax-Pickering Riding. He said he made the decision to devote his full attention to campaigning in light of the fact there were no re- maining council or committee meetings prior to the election, Monday, June 28.

There are historic sites, sidewalk cafes, fantastic museums, spectac- ular palaces, castles and cathedrals. For the first time Carnival Cruise Lines will be traveling to Europe for summer holidays starting next year. This is great news for anyone who’s been dreaming of a European cruise but has been putting it off because of high prices. Carnival plans to have a series of 12-night Mediterranean cruises start- ing on July 20,2005 that will sail round-trip from Rome (the port of Civitavecchia). The itinerary will include days in: Naples, Italy; D ubrovnik, Crotia; Venice, Italy (two days); Messina, Sicily; Barcelona, Spain; Cannes, France; Livorno, Italy (Florence and Pisa); and back to Civitavecchia, Italy (Rome). In addition, you’ll have three “Fun Days” at sea to relax and soak up the rays of the Mediterranean sun. Taking a cruise to Europe is much more economical than visiting Europe on your own.The ship becomes your hotel and you don’t need to rent a car and follow foreign language road signs or navi- gate maps. No need to pack and unpack with every new destination. Best of all you can eat, sleep or be enter- tained while travelling to your next exciting port. Carnival’s Total Choice Dining options gives you more choices than ever before. Carnival has set the bar for a first-class dining experience in the Golden and Silver Olympian Restaurants. The meals, including aged New York steaks, fresh seafood, low-fat S pa Carnival entrees and superb wines will be a cele- bration for your taste buds. For a more relaxed atmosphere with a spectacu- lar view, sample the cuisine and the scenery at Emile's. Dine, either indoors or out- doors, on favorites such as: salads, pasta, chicken, shrimp and savory steaks. The food is delicious and the view is amazing. These din- ing options are all in addi- tion to Spa Carnival Selections, Sushi Bars and European Style Cafes, 24- hour Pizzeria and Ice Cream Bar and of course, compli- mentary stateroom service.

Entrepreneur Monique Howat re- ceived the Spirit of Success Award in recognition of her dedication, vision and attitude. She said, “Every child and teenager I come into contact with has the making of a leader - some of them just don’t know it yet!” Donna Arnold, whose motto is “we make a living by what we get - we make a life by what we give,” received the Outstanding Contribution Award for her mentorship, promotion and advancement of the business commu- nity. Jo yce Marshall was given the Women of Success Award for her busi- ness, community and personal achievements. Aside from serving on many community boards, Ms. Mar- shall was chairman of the Board of Governors of Durham College, and is currently president of the Durham Business and Professional Women’s Organization. “Women in business in Durham are a strong, vibrant, committed group dedicated to excellence, to making a difference, and supporting their com- munity as they continue to strive for success,” Ms. Weir added.

Authorized by the Registered Agent of the Rene Soetens Campaign. www.renosoetens.ca Campaogn Office: 905-686-0278 Healthcare Has Always Been A Priority With René Soetens Determined to ensure that Ajax and Pickering residents had access to the best quality healthcare René Soetens served as chair of the Ajax and Pickering Hospital Foundation when the need for fundraising reached a critical point in the hospital’s history. René remained a Foundation Board member during the Hospital and Foundation mergers with then-named Centenary Health Centre, ensuring a strong voice for the Ajax and Pickering communities across Rouge Valley’s two-hospital health system. René has been an active volunteer,pounding the pavement to help raise more than $12 million for the redevelopment and expansion of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering,which will help alleviate waiting times for patients and their families. Since René’s involvement with Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering,the hospital has added: •Expanded diagnostic imaging services including: •CT Scanner •Nuclear Medicine department •A 20-bed interim rehabilitation unit,opened in September 1999. •Redeveloped Mental Health Services •As well,Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering is poised to begin its $47 million expansion and redevelopment that will improve Emergency Services,among other vital hospital services. René also understands that a healthcare system involves more than the services provided by the community hospital. His experience as Chair of the Durham Health Council Acute Care Implementation Study,and as Chair of the Easter Seal Campaign taught Rene that services must be family-focused,and integrated within the community. René has been involved in the Ajax-Pickering community for nearly 35 years. “It helps me feel connected with the community,and let’s me know what’s going on around me,”says René. “It’s my community. I live here. I want the best for it,and I’ve always been prepared to roll up my sleeves and see what I can do to help make it happen.” Ajax and Pickering are two of Canada’s fastest growing communities. Make sure your healthcare needs are heard at the funding source,in Ottawa. Rene’s commitment to healthcare did not begin when the election was called. Rene has been a champion for quality healthcare in Ajax and Pickering for nearly a decade. René Soetens and his wife June feel that quality healthcare and quality of life go hand in hand in Ajax and Pickering. Gale Mossman Past Chair,Ajax-Pickering/Rouge Valley Hospital “Rene has been a strong and consis- tent supporter of our hospital from both a fundraising and organizational per- spective. His leadership in fundraising in particular has been outstanding.” Janet Ecker Former MPP,Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge “Good luck on Monday. Your experience fighting for our hospital is important for the community. Ajax- Pickering deserves the kind of strong, accountable,caring representation that you would bring.” Kevin Ashe Councilor,City of Pickering “Your commitment to the community is much appreciated. Good luck on Monday.” Elizabeth Soler Past Chair,Make Room for Baby Campaign Ajax-Pickering Health Centre “I have known and worked with Rene for many years as he supported the hospital and all its challenges. I know he’ll be there to support us as needed in the future.” Nancy Maxwell Past Chair,Rouge Valley Health System Foundation “Rene has championed quality health- care for Ajax and Pickering residents for many years. He has worked tirelessly as Past Chair of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation,as a former Hospital Board member and as current vice chair of the Vital Links fundraising campaign.His hard work and contin- ued dedication to the hospital has helped to ensure the Ajax-Pickering communities receive the best care possible.” Billboard JUNE 25, 2004 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo For Diefenbaker PICKERING –– Logan Byberg and classmates sang ‘Calling Canada’ for guests attending the opening of the new Diefenbaker Memorial Reading Garden at Valley View Public School in Green- wood.

Beautify you home with the help of Arnts Topsoil There are many things you can do to improve the quality of the air inside your home. Take a look at these tips from Edgetech, an industry leader in the development of ‘health smart’ windows: • Reduce dust to eliminate dust mites. These organisms live off the scales shed by human and animal skin and can easily trigger allergies and asthma. • Reduce chemical emissions from such irritants as cleaning solvents, paints, and cigarette smoke. Check cupboards and storage areas to be sure these things are not contaminating the air. • Install a carbon monoxide monitor and check the reading frequently. Even low exposure can lead to disorientation whereas a high level can cause serious brain damage and even death. • Control moisture to prevent mould growth, a fungus that often appears around window frames and deep within window cavities. The adverse health effects of air-bourn mould spores can range from a mild irritation to allergies or severe illness. Health Canada says that for an optimum home environment, indoor humidity should be between 30 to 55 percent, but homeowners often express difficulty reaching even 20 percent before condensation appears on windows. Old, or low-quality windows are often to blame. The most advanced window science today has mastered indoor climate control, energy conservation and occupant health. W hen upgrading look for windows that are able to maintain a constant thermal balance between the temperatures indoors and out.

This is not some futuristic scenario-it’s home automation at its best. What used to be thought of as purely science fiction has become reality to families all across the country who have streamlined their home electronics into one home automation system. Think about it. How many remotes do you have in your home for the TVs, stereos, garage door and anything else? Do you have an answering machine, a home security sy stem or an automatic sprinkling system? With home automation, all of these devices and more can be controlled by one remote or touch pad. Home automation is not just for the rich and famous either. Anyone can incorporate it into their life to control lighting, appliances, entertainment, security, sprinklers and more. And you can spend as little or as much as you want to make your lifestyle a little easier. Modern home automation systems are simple to install and easy to use. For new homes, it’s possible to wire the whole house for maximum automation, while for older homes, external modules are the norm. How does it work? Through your computer and existing 110-volt wiring, X-10, a communication language, controls the devices you specify. Developed in the 1970s, X-10 is now the standard for home automation. It can operate over 200 applications that you designate. With the X-10 software and external modules plugged into an existing outlet, you can control that device at your whim. Lighting is the most popular practical application for home automation. How many times have you come home to discover you forgot to turn off the lights? Those lights, left burning, waste electricity and cost you money. But with an X-10 system, those lights can be set to turn off automatically. Lighting can be programmed for specific needs in each room of the house as can the heating or air conditioning. Imagine a smart-thermostat cooling or heating each room to individual family preferences or shutting off completely in rooms seldom used. And with a sprinkler system, you don’t have to monkey around with setting a timer for different weather conditions or seasons. X-10 allows you to make adjustments to your devices anytime you desire. You can even set up special situational modes such as for vacations or an evening when you are out on the town. The more sophisticated systems will let you program all the TVs in your home to show the same program at once or play the same DVD even if not all of them have DVD players. They can control all aspects of home entertainment, inc luding projectors, lights and sound. With home automation, you can set your home security system to turn on when you’re ready for bed. You can turn on exterior lighting, dead-bolt the doors and set the security system to night mode at the touch of a button. It’s all possible with X-10 technology. To learn more about home automation, visit www.smarthome.com which offers many home automation devices, www.panja.com which is a systems and wiring firm, or www.intelock.com for home security. There is no limit to what you can control, although more complicated systems may require professional installation. Take advantage of the latest technology. Then sit back and relax and let your home take care of the more mundane chores. Home automation is all the rage Home automation is not just for the rich and famous either. Anyone can incorporate it into their life to control lighting, appliances, entertainment, security, sprinklers and more. With home automation, you can set your home security system to turn on when you’re ready for bed.

Cancer Centre work begins By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer DURHAM – A sea of dignitaries turned up Friday to celebrate the official launch of construction for the long-awaited R.S. McLaughlin Durham Region Cancer Centre, but it was fund-raisers Chuck Pow- ers and Don Blight who stole the show. “I think Chuck and I are proba- bly walking as high as those cranes today,” said Mr. Blight. The president of the Heroes of Hope Campaign announced his group has topped its $39-million goal, raising to date more than $41 million towards the cancer centre. Calling it “the eighth wonder of the world”, the two shared their elation at seeing construction move forward, but also their frus- tration of waiting for the 18-year- old project. “We’ve had our share of downs, delays and false starts,” said Mr. Powers, the president of the Os- hawa General Hospital Founda- tion. “It’s all served to test the re- solve of our hospital boards. “My one regret is that we weren’t able to provide quality care to our citizens sooner,” he added. “I’d like to offer my personal apologies to those families who were affected by the delays.” Sporting a tie with faces to sym- bolize the many people involved in the effort, Mr. Powers said Lak- eridge Health’s foundations and auxiliaries have raised a total of $96 million for the Oshawa site. That includes $31 million raised by the Setting the Pace Campaign from 1991 to 1996 for the north wing, which will be built out with a new emergency department, inten- sive care unit and operating rooms, along with the construction of the cancer centre. The $103-million construction, being undertaken by EllisDon Con- struction, is expected to be com- plete by Spring 2006. At Friday’s launch, Lakeridge Health Chief Executive Officer Brian Lemon pointed out since the idea was first conceived in 1986, the plans for a cancer centre and hospital redevelopment have evolved into a much larger project due to a greater demand for ser- vices. “Health facilities of this magni- tude typically take 15 to 20 years from the time they’re hatched to delivery,” he said. “We’ve had four changes of gov- ernment since then. So we stand on the shoulders of the people who went before us and certainly ac- knowledge we’re the beneficiaries of your efforts.” Dr. Alan Hudson, president and chief executive officer of Cancer Centre Ontario said, the Durham centre is already being configured into cancer care delivery models for the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario.

The Rouge Valley Health System opened a new cys- toscopy suite at the Ajax site last week. With an additional $1.3 million in funding from the Ministry of Health, the hos- pital was able to make the investment to have a dedi- cated speciality suite for renal care. The suite is to be used in the treatment of patients for stones, blockages, bleeding, tumours or infec- tions. “In addition, with the use of the scopes we can now perform some bladder surgeries, such as the re- moval of stones, with the end result being a patient doesn’t have to undergo ex- tensive abdominal surgery,” said Dr. Stephen Smith, a urologist at Rouge Valley. Dr. Smith spoke about how in the past doctors would have to make a big incision to remove kidney stones and it would take four weeks to recuperate. Now, a tiny little flexible scope is used and a tiny laser breaks up the stone and it is done in 30 minutes, he said. “I’m just so excited and so enthusiastic to see that (this service) has come to Ajax,” he said. Until the suite was opened, patients had to un- dergo those treatments in the operating room or were transferred to a facility with a cystoscopy suite. “To have a dedicated unit and a state-of-the-art facili- ty is part of a long journey to match the level of service the community wants and needs,” said Hume Martin, Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem president and chief ex- ecutive officer. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 25, 2004 PAGE 27 P CANADIAN TIRE PICKERING ONLY 1735 Pickering Parkway (at Brock Road), Pickering • 905-686-2308 20% OFF Reg. $14.99 - $46.99 ALL FRAMED ART In stock only Assorted scenes & sizes Many more unadvertised specials available instore.

Meanwhile, other spending, scandal and waste saw healthy increases. And one has to wonder why Paul Martin’s new healthcare initiatives were not included in the Liberal throne speech just months ago. Ontario voters have the right to be leery of Liberal promises made in the heat of an election. Canadians deserve better. First off, we’ll eliminate the systemic Liberal waste and misspending. We’ll also try to find the missing billions and hundreds of millions of your hard earned tax dollars (Remember, Paul Martin cancelled the adscam inquiry and called an election). We’ll redirect those billions to healthcare and other priorities that Canadians cherish. I’m Tim Dobson and I’ll deliver on these priorities. It’s time for voters of Pickering –Scarborough East to elect an MP that will work for them and focus on our local issues. That’s why it’s also important for voters to elect an MP who lives in the riding and experiences these issues first hand. On June 28th, I hope that you’ll demand better and vote Tim Dobson and the Conservative Party of Canada.

The Notebook Directed by Nick Cassavetes Starring James Garner, Gena Rowlands, Joan Allen, Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams Based on the best-seller by Nicholas Sparks, this movie is a love story. As a man reads from a faded notebook to the woman he reg ularly visits, his words bring to life the story of a couple separat- ed by the Second World War, then reunited seven years later. Though the womna's memory has faded, the man's words give her the chance to relive her youth and the unforgettable love they shared. Spider-Man 2 (opening Wednesday) Directed by Sam Raimi Starring Tobiey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Alfred Molina. Two years have passed, and the mild-mannered Peter Parker (Maguire) faces new challenges as he struggles with "the gift and the curse," desperately trying to balance his dual identities as the web-slinging superhero Spider- Man and his life as a college stu- dent. Tormented by his secrets, Peter finds that his relationships with all those he holds dear are in danger of unraveling. His life-long yearning for M.J. (Dunst) be- comes even stronger as he fights the impulse to reveal his secret life and declare his love. His friendship with Harry Osborn (Franco) is complicated by the young Osborn's bitterness over his father's death and his growing vendetta against Spider-Man. Peter's life is about to become even more complicated as he en- counters a formidable new foe — Dr. Otto Octavius (Molina). Peter must use all the powers at his dis- posal to try to stop this diabolical madman in his octagonal tracks. Also opening in theatres is 'Two Brothers.'

Home Week brings 'em all back Pancakes, face painting and volleyball close another Ajax celebration By Alexis Sciuk Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —It was a perfect end to a perfect Home Week in Ajax. With the line beginning to form around 8 a.m. for the annual pancake breakfast, residents took to the waterfront in celebration Sunday. Geoff Nie, president of the Ro- tary Club, had his hands out- stretched and a smile on his face to greet everybody who walked by. "I am the greeter here. That is so I don't mess up with any of the cooking," joked Mr. Nie. "As far as our pancake breakfast is con- cerned, it's a great success. The weather is perfect, the venue's great and we have a lot of people coming back every year. It is a good way to start Father's Day off and then stay for the rest of the events that are going on." The day was filled with events including volleyball games, there were vendors in the pavilion and children could play on the swings and in the playgrounds. Some people even brought a picnic to nibble on while enjoying the sum- mer heat. Robyn Parashyniak volun- teered to take on the task of vol- leyball coordinator for the Water- front Festival. "It is going pretty well. The teams actually all showed up on time," said Ms. Parashyniak. The teams played on grass courts outlined in tape and fol- lowed beach rules. Ms. Parashyni- ak is a behavioural therapist who works with children with autism and grew up in Ajax. Magwyers Pub, a local bar in town, sponsored a team to play in the tournament. Even though the team was lacking a few players due to a "fun" night before the team was in good spirits. Brian Shepherd, the self-de- scribed coach of the team had been at the waterfront since 8:30 a.m. "We are short about four peo- ple but we do it every year. We have been in this tournament for the last four years and we have a great time every year." Rob Millen, a player on the team, came bright and early in order to make the pancake break- fast. "Oh it was great," raved Mr. Millen. "I had my fill of pancakes so I am good." The day was long but team Magwyer didn't mind. "Luckily, it is nice and sunny for us," said Mr. Millen. "A couple of years ago it rained all day, but you gotta play through it."

A/P PAGE 30 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 25, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Sports FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 Lacrosse Ajax-Pickering Rock hosts Brooklin To night, 8 p.m., Pickering complex Proud as a Peacock to be heading south Pickering athlete earns collegiate soccer scholarship By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —Christopher DeAbreu is set to kick it around in the U.S. this fall, and he could- n't be prouder. After all, he's going to be a member of the Saint Peter's Col- lege Peacocks men's soccer team. "I'm feeling really good about it," says the 18-year-old midfielder about joining the Jersey City, New Jersey-based squad in the fall. "It's a good opportunity for me. Me and my dad have been plan- ning for this for a very long time." It was almost by mistake that he came to be known to the Saint Peter's College head coach Chris Smith. "He came to (Canada to) look at other players, but he looked at me and liked what he saw," says DeAbreu, a Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School. "He saw me play twice." Smith, in a press release, says he's impressed with the array of skills DeAbreu brings to the pitch. "He has extremely good feet, can hit a ball accurately over dis- tance, is explosive athletically and can win balls in midfield. He is very smart tactically and should play as a deep defensive midfield- er or in the back," says Smith, the new head coach at St. Peter's. More than anything, DeAbreu says he fits the mould of Smith's soccer philosophy. He explains it is a style of play where the defen- sive midfielder wins the tackles and distributes the ball to the wingers. And, above all else, it's all about possession. "St. Peter's plays the same way we do in Canada. (Smith) wants possession and he kind of en- forces that. It's not the type of game where you give the ball away to the other team when you get in trouble," says DeAbreu. The Peacocks play in the NCAA Division 1 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) against such schools as Canisius College from Buffalo, N.Y. The program has had plenty of suc- cess over the years, winning the MAAC conference last season. Saint Peter's is currently in the top 40 of Division 1 men's soccer. The goal is to eventually be recog- nized as a top-20 program. DeAbreu had two other schol- arship offers to mull over -- one from Syracuse University in New Yo rk State and another from James Madison University of Vir- ginia. He's happy with his deci- sion to join Saint Peter's. "I went for the orientation to see the school and the players and I really liked the group. Everything was a perfect situa- tion for me," he says, adding that it's relatively close to home, a six- and-a-half hour drive from Pick- ering. DeAbreu is playing this sum- mer with Toronto CS Azzurri under-18s of the Ontario Youth Soccer League. The team's co- coached by his father, Paul DeAbreu. So far, CS Azzurri is un- beaten at 3-0-1, with their most re- cent victory being an 8-0 pum- melling of Kanata. He also helped St. Mary cap- ture the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) title. At the recent Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships, the Monarchs finished with a 2-2 record, with both losses coming on last-minute goals. DeAbreu won't be the only Canuck to suit up for the Pea- cocks. He is joined by Azzurri teammate Murphy Wierdu, of Brampton, who will be his room- mate at St. Peter's. He plans to study either sports medicine or orthodontics at St. Peter's. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Christopher DeAbreu, of Pickering, will attend St. Peter’s College in New Jersey on an athletic scholarship. Driver motors into Mid-Ohio Guerrieri expects to learn plenty PICKERING —After a one-month hiatus, a Pickering race-car dri- ver heads to Lexington, Ohio this weekend to participate in his sec- ond Formula Zetec Champi- onship race weekend of the sea- son. Christopher Guerrieri believes his first trip to the challenging Mid-Ohio Sportscar Complex will be a valuable learning experi- ence. "I joined JDC Motorsports for the fourth event on the 2004 race calendar at Mosport so I'm still very much in a learning phase," says Guerrieri in a release. "I'm pleased with the progress I am making so far and feel that this weekend at Mid-Ohio will pro- vide me with valuable seat time that will help in my development as a driver. "From what I know about the track, it's quite a challenge be- cause it throws so many things at you. There are fast turns, slow turns and elevation changes that all come into play when you're trying to find the right balance in the car. Since learning how to set up this race car in particular is a new experience for me, I'm sure that this track in particular will be a great teacher." Guerrieri, who won the 2003 Canadian Formula Ford Cham- pionship with 123 points and the Fo rd Driver of the Year title, feels this year in Formula Zetec is an important one. "I'm moving into wings and slicks and it's a whole different type of thing," he says. "There's much more that needs to be dis- cussed between the driver and engineer at this level and it's im- portant for me to develop my own ability to define the type of race car I want to drive. There's so much more that can be ad- justed on the car than in the For- mula Ford 1600. "I'm learning how to feel things, how a slight damper change af- fects the car or a quarter of a turn on a wing. It's an amazing thing, the cars are so much more responsive and the more time I spend in the seat, the more com- fortable it all gets." The first of the weekend's two races is Saturday at 12:30 p.m. central time, with the final event on Sunday at 9:20 a.m. CT.
