But officials say that logistics are a problem By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — No science labs or drainage fixes. Just the essentials. Public school board trustees on Monday night heard what the Province’s school renewal dollars can be spent on, and it’s not what a number of school communities say they need. The Province’s Good Places to Learn initiative is providing the Durham District School Board with $2.5 million per year, one of the highest amounts in the prov- ince and enough, the government says, to generate $34 million in school repairs. Some parents had hoped the money could be used to address pooling water in school yards and science labs that are inadequate or not working. But Jack Massie, the board’s facilities services superintendent, says the bulk of the money can only be spent on roofs, windows, wash- rooms, electrical and heating sys- tem upgrades. Still, he said the funds are unprecedented. “We’ve never had this kind of money injected into our build- ings,” he said in an interview. “We’ve had a long history of trying to make these 130 buildings float on $3.5 or $4 million per year.” Mr. Massie told trustees at the board meeting that “you always dread you’ll get what you asked for and we did.” In the interview, he explained that with a staff of four maintenance supervisors and several projects well underway, provincial expectations that the work can be done in a year are impossible to meet. Even if the board could do the pre-work that’s involved in initiating all of the projects, he says it’s too late in the The Pickering 20 PAGES ✦ Pressrun 46,600 ✦ Metroland Durham Region Media Group ✦ SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2005 ✦ Optional delivery $6 / Newsstand $1 Board talks school renewal for Pickering ✦ See Labour, Page 4 ‘Gaps’ in health care exposed in report S ervice not equal to population growth By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — As the population grows, demand for health services increases, but the service itself is staying the same. And that can’t continue, a report says. “What we learned from doing this, and what we were told quite clearly, is that there are gaps,” said Lynda Hessey, former executive director of the now-closed Dur- ham Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Council. The council, closed March 31 as the Province reorganizes health care, tabled Transforming Health Care in Durham Region, which looks at services in hospital (acute care), the community and through home-based providers. “Durham Region’s population is rapidly growing, and health-care resources have not kept pace with increasing demand for services,” the report said. “Acute care capac- ity has not yet been developed within the region.” On top of that, earlier recom- mendations from other reports called for expansions to long- term-care beds and home-based services — and these have not happened, the report said.

Pickering man killed in accident Four cars involved in Ajax incident DURHAM — A 49-year-old Pickering man is dead fol- lowing a four-car accident in Ajax Tuesday. Peter Deutscher, of Na- roch Boulevard, died of what Durham Regional Police are calling a “medical episode” and not from any injuries in the accident. The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. on April 19 at the intersection of Salem Road and Bayly Street. Durham police believe a red GMC van was travelling south on Salem, approach- ing a red light at Bayly. The vehicle failed to stop and rear-ended a silver Chevrolet mini-van waiting at the red light, say police. The force of the impact caused a chain re- action, with the mini-van hit- ting a black Pontiac, which in turn hit a red Chevrolet car. The drivers of the GMC van and the mini-van were taken by ambulance to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick- ering hospital. The driver of the GMC died, while the other drivers suffered minor injuries. The road was closed for several hours for the investigation. Road and weather condi- tions were good at the time of the accident, police report. Anyone with information, who hasn’t spoken to police already, can call Detective Constable Brendan Ken- naley at 905-579-1520, ext. 5256. Anonymous calls can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Durham cops tap into battle against child porn Software adopted as investigative tool By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Investigators here have tapped in to what could soon become a world- wide database designed to trace child pornography, and bring its creators to justice. Durham Regional Police have partnered with Toronto police in adopting the Child Exploitation Tracking System (CETS), software developed by computer giant Microsoft. The technology will allow Durham police to work with law enforcement agencies around the globe in tracking child porn, a “borderless” crime with sinister ramifica- tions, said child abuse unit Detective Andy Bussanich. “It’s a database,” Det. Bus- sanich said in describing the tool. Child pornography is dis- tributed around the globe through a shady network that inhabits the “bowels of the Internet,” Det. Bussan- ich said. There are millions of images of child abuse out there and investigators have found that material is turn- ing up in various corners of the globe as a result of this online trading. The nature and extent of this illegal activity — it’s a criminal offence to possess child pornography in Cana- da and other countries — re- quires cooperation among law enforcement agencies around the world, Det. Bus- sanich said. “It’s a global crime, so what we need is essentially a global police force,” he said. “If I’m working on a case here in Durham, I can share this information with police forces around the world so two police forces are not doing the same work — or more than two (forces).” Cooperation among law enforcement agencies has been effective in the past. Perhaps one of the most prominent examples was Project Snowball, which began as an investigation of a child porn website in the United States and eventu- ally led to the arrests of in Canada and other nations. In another high-profile case, earlier this year, Toronto police took the unprecedent- ed step of releasing carefully edited images depicting the abuse of a young girl, origi- nally found on the Internet. The tactic immediately paid off with tips leading to the origin of the photos. Det. Bussanich hopes ad- vances in tracking porn will not only lead to the arrest of more users, but also to the people manufacturing the images and their victims. “When only the very best will do” “When only the very best will do” 2 Suites Now Available!

Besides, Mr. Massie notes every other board will be looking to get a jump on their projects as well, creat- ing a possible labour short- age and higher prices. Also, Mr. Massie said the list of school needs was created for the Province in 2003 and has to be updated. He hopes to tackle $6 million to $8 million in new projects this year but says it will likely take three years to complete them all. Given that there’s $86.5 million worth of high and urgent needs at Durham public schools, that means many will have to wait. Mr. Massie and staff are work- ing on a list of the first projects for trustees, possibly to be ready by the May board meet- ing. Business su- perintendent Ed Hodgins also raised a red flag: the Province as- sumes the board will be able to borrow money for the work at five-and-a-quarter per cent interest. He told trust- ees that isn’t likely, and a higher rate would mean “s ubstantially less than the $34 million” in work could be undertaken. Mr. Massie says the board received a lot of funding com- pared to many other boards be- cause 40 per cent of its schools were 40 years or older when the list was compiled. When the board was asked to list the two schools that required the most work, it identified seven, including Pickering and Brock high schools and F.M. Heard Public School. Also on the list was R.A. Sennett Public School, one of 34 in Ontario deemed “prohibitive to re- pair.” “It’s great, but it’s still dis- appointing because of the restrictive nature,” board chairman Michael Barrett said of the funding and the criteria. Trustee Barrett and Mr. Massie noted an upside, however: many projects that would have fallen on the board’s maintenance list can now be transferred to the renewal list, freeing up money for science lab and other improvements not considered urgent up- grades by Queen’s Park. Michael Barrett ✦ Labour from page 1 Labour shortage could hurt board’s plans Millions in needs DURHAM — In 2003, each school in Ontario was inspect- ed by professionals working for the Province to create a list of renewal needs.

LABOUR FREE WINTER COVER SAVE OVER $300 experiencing severe doctor shortages isn’t helping, Ms. Hessey said. “Primary care being delivered by family physicians is really quite frag- mented,” she said. “Someone may have to go to a family doctor, but end up using a medical walk-in for care. Or end up in emerg. “As a result, when those people need a specialist, that front-end work hasn’t been done. Part of that (specialist’s) work is supposed to go back to a family doctor — but a patient may not have one.” Nurses and volunteers are also on the decline, the report said. This lack of health staff impacts on access, wait times, workload and patient satisfac- tion. The interconnectedness of service plays a big part in how health care is delivered, the report said. Added to that is an aging population that is in- creasingly multicultural, with school- age children making up one third of residents. “Most people were saying if we could... be more proactive in prevent- ing disease that would be great,” Ms. Hessey said. “There are other issues around getting access and location.” Because of its closing, the DHKPRD- HC recommended a steering group be formed to implement the new system, with local hospitals and home-based groups such as Durham Access to Care being the leads.

Repeatedly these past few years pleas have come from staff, students, parents and the greater Ajax and Pickering community about the need to address the long list of mainte- nance and other projects at the school. The school is literally crumbling in some places and in others the problems are much bigger. And, while generally there has been sympathy from Durham District School Board officials, there just hasn’t been the dollars to back it up given the fiscal reality under which the board operates. So the announcement recently that the Province was mak- ing money available for school repairs was cause for hope for Pickering High. But, upon learning more of the specifics regarding the dollars and how they’re allocated, again there’s reason for concern. The Province’s Good Places to Learn initiative, from which the Durham board will draw $2.5 million per year, is to be spent on roofs, windows, washrooms, electrical and heat- ing system upgrades. As part of the process, in 2003 a list of school needs was created for the Province. It’s a staggering one for the Durham board, with many projects vying for renewal dollars. Across Ontario it is one of the boards most in need of help, in terms of dollars. All told, more than $118 million in project needs have been identi- fied. Pickering High finds itself well removed from the top of the list, coming in at about $1.3 million. Complicating matters more is that given the sheer volume of Durham projects, the manpower needed to prepare for them, and the limited pool of skilled tradespeople required for the jobs, it’s just not possible to get everything done. What should be noted, however, is that the list is not final and board staff will prepare its suggested order of projects soon. One that must be on the list is Pickering High. The case has been made, documented and verified repeat- edly these past few years. It deserves board support now, in particular, from the Ajax and Pickering trustee contingent of Lisa Hill, Marilyn Crawford, Paul Crawford and Sherry Cro- teau. There are many projects and many needs in Durham, true, but many have also been addressed over the last few years. Now, it’s Pickering High’s turn. We’re running out of farmland To the editor: Where has all the farmland gone? That is the question future generations are going to be asking. They took marshland in the west end to extend the airport. Now they want to build another airport in Pickering. In the 1970s they expropriated the farms in Durham and Markham, forced generations of farmers off their land, ruined lives and left the farmhouses neglected. The people stopped the airport from being built. Now the politicians are up to their old tricks and trying to push it through. Destroying 20 heritage homes in Pickering, spend- ing $550,000 to fix a house for offices for the GTAA. Could the money not have been put to better use? A home for abused women, feeding and housing the homeless. Putting an airport near the Pickering nuclear plant, which is a safety hazard, where is the common sense? Instead of extending Buttonville (Markham), one of the busiest in Ontario, where there was farmland, they built homes. A safety hazard because of many planes flying over. Guess common sense is not being used in thinking what our future generation is going to eat.

At the same time that we learn more than 6,000 Ontario Hydro and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) employees make more than the big $100K, our hydro rates go up. At the same time we find out 87 Dur- ham cops — many of them at the lowest ranking of constable — make more than $100,000, we see the whopping $112- million police budget. It includes 20 new officers, eight civilians, a $4.9-mil- lion gun range and a $6.4-million new operations centre in Whitby. (Ironic, really, that some of those highest-paid police officers get so much money because they guard our two OPG nuclear plants.) At the same time, 39 Lakeridge Health staff members appear in the $100,000 club, the corporation announces 309 layoffs. At the same time we see the list of regional staff on the $100,000 list has almost doubled, to 54, we see our taxes are about to rise. We also see more and more people forced to use the shelter system because of a lack of affordable housing in Durham, while the Region cannot afford an extra $3 per day per person to help those without a home. Of course, some would argue that, since there are almost 800 police, more than 2,000 regional employees, and around 3,500 Lakeridge staff, having a few dozen in the $100,000 club isn’t that bad. Especially compared to other municipalities. And high pay is needed to keep and attract good people. Did you know that the average person in Canada brings home $29,500 after taxes?

Why do some people accomplish their dreams and others do not? Quite simply, the successful people have learned a formula for success. Anyone can learn and apply the basic formula to achieve their ultimate dream. Set Your Goals The first step is to write the “dream goal” down. You may want to write it on a piece of paper and tape it to your bathroom mirror or a private journal. To ensure success pick a goal that is challenging yet attainable. If your goal is too easy or too hard you will either be bored or frustrated. Planning Planning is crucial to accomplishing your dream. If your goal requires physical exertion now is the time to consult a physician. Choose the date that you wish to accomplish your goal, and write it down. Write down all the reasons that you want to accomplish your goal, and how it will feel when you accomplish it. Now you will need to set smaller goals that will “lead” into your dream goal. Choose realistic dates and spread these goals out. Some people call these “steps goals” because each step will lead you to your goal. It is important that your lead goals are measurable, in order to track progress. Use your journal everyday to chart your progress, and to record your feelings. Dealing with Setbacks The goal setting and planning are done. It is now time to begin. The first steps are usually the hardest, but sometimes everything is going great and then you may hit a roadblock. When this happens you will need to reassess your timeline, or the feasibility of your task. Do not give up! If you have doubts, or entertain negative self talk it will be hard to stay on track. Re-affirm yourself by reading the reasons you want to accomplish your dream, and once again imagine how this will make you feel. You may need to enlist the help of a good friend or family member. It may also help to read your journal and actually see how far you have come. Whatever reasons you may have for quitting are never adequate when compared to the cost of relinquishing your dream. Rewards A reward structure is crucial. When you achieve a measurable goal, you need to reward yourself. This can take many forms. The process itself should be rewarding, but it is always nice to have a pat on the back, (especially one you give yourself). The ultimate reward will be granted when you accomplish your goal. By this time you will have become a “dream master,” and you will look towards your next dream with a fiery passion. Good Luck! If you have any questions please call 416-435-0288. Why do some people accomplish their dreams and others do not?

However, we often live with some sort of pain or ailment that hinders our ability to enjoy life. Our lives are filled with stress- inducing activities and too many of us suffer from ailments such as arthritis, diabetes, fibro myalgia, MS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, poor circulation, back pains, and the list goes on. Modern medicine has great difficulty dealing with pain. Structural problems can be viewed using modern diagnostics, but pain cannot be measured or viewed with any instrument known to man. How often have you heard that someone who is in pain is told that they just have to live with it? One of those modern technological wonders is called Ceragem. In about 1,000 centres in over 40 countries, hundreds of thousands of people are sharing in the Ceragem experience. Over 50,000 people in North America visit a Ceragem centre every day, having been referred by word-of-mouth through a friend or family member that has had personal experience with it. Conceived and developed in Korea, the Ceragem Therapeutic Thermal Massager is a perfect combination of both Eastern and Western health approaches. What can this therapeutic thermal massager do for your ailment? Ask the owners of the Ceragem Ajax Centre and they’ll tell you, “come and try it and then you tell us!” The machine aligns the spine, massages the back, applies gentle pressure on key pressure points on the back, and provides marvelous warmth that feels fantastic! Visitors boast of the incredible results in the support of recovering and strengthening powers of the body. The Ceragem helps relieve stress and body aches as well as helps with energizing the body with renewed vigor. “The bed allows the right conditions to exist so the body can start healing itself,” says owner Sil Racioppo. “The body wants to heal itself and Ceragem provides the stimulus to get things going. Although many come in with back ailments, most come in with other stress related conditions. Our therapeutic massager will help reduce stress, and it will help with local blood circulation, local pain relief and local pain relief of arthritis.” “Here at the centre”, adds co-owner Lianne Racioppo, “we really love people. We try to help them any way we can. In fact, the company’s motto is ‘Love, Service, Kindness’ and we stand behind that.” The massage takes place on the bed, the bed doing the work. The user stays fully clothed. The Ceragem therapeutic thermal massager is approved by Health Canada as a medical device, is approved by Underwriters Laboratory, certified by the Food and Drug Administration (U.S.A.) as a medical device, and the FCC (Federal Communications Commission U.S.A.).

For information call 905-683-5110 ext.228 Scams prevalent in electronic age, consultant says By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Imagine finding out one day that you’re seriously in arrears on a second mortgage you didn’t know existed. Think about how you’d cope with learning the courts had approved the sale of your house, based on non-payment of a lien against the property. What would you do if you started getting calls from a lender inquiring as to when you plan to begin paying for a property you didn’t know you owned? All of these are nightmare scenarios, unimaginable for most of us. But they’re all too possible, and more and more people are becoming vulnerable to title fraud as crooks take ad- vantage of information they can access easily. And Durham Region is prime for the picking, said Bill Cowling, an Oshawa- based consultant with a mortgage brokerage. “I have a feeling there’s a hell of a lot more going on than what is being let out of the bag,” Mr. Cowling said. “The people who are most at risk are the ones who are mortgage free, because it’s so much easier to put a lien on the house or a mortgage on the house.” The issue gained promi- nence recently, when the Law Society of Upper Can- ada announced it’s investi- gating the dealings of more than 70 lawyers for evidence of title fraud. Fraud artists are taking advantage of Teranet Land Information Services, On- tario’s electronic land reg- istry system, to perpetrate frauds, the society reported. Scams can be as straight- forward as simply chang- ing title ownership to steal properties, but other meth- ods are being employed, Mr. Cowling said. Thieves are obtaining second mort- gages on homes, cooking up fake liens and duping finan- cial institutions into issuing mortgages through identity theft as well. Mr. Cowling said the ad- vancement of the electronic age has made title fraud that much easier to pull off. Transactions that used to be conducted face to face and with witnesses for signa- tures are now done through computer, he said. Durham Regional Police fraud Detective Jack Haze said title fraud is a very real issue here. “I have one (investiga- tion) under way right now,” he said. “It’s a priority case.” Det. Haze wouldn’t dis- cuss the particulars of the case, but said the existence of such fraud should serve as a warning to everyone to be diligent. Some title fraud can be classified as identity theft, a growing concern in the electronic information age, he said. But title fraud has even more serious ramifications. “In typical identity theft, somebody goes out and gets credit cards in your name,” Det. Haze said. “You can place a block on it and the bank will be fairly forgiving. “But with mortgages, it’s not so easy to clean up.” Indeed, while title fraud can most often be success- fully battled, it can be a long, stressful and expensive pro- cess, Mr. Cowling said. But peace of mind — and substantial security — can be bought for a relatively low cost, he said. Mr. Cowl- ing recommends property owners buy title insurance — it’s an average one-time cost of $270 — for new and existing properties. Cov- erage includes fraud and forgery, errors revealed in up-to-date surveys, defects in title and other issues, Mr. Cowling said. It can be provided by lawyers handling property transactions — but too often isn’t, he said. Mr. Cowling recommends property owners and buy- ers mention title insurance if their lawyer doesn’t. More information on this issue can be obtained at Mr. Cowling’s website: williamc@fundstogo.net.

Donations were being collected for Denise House during the customer appreciation event. DURHAM — A promise of a $5-million windfall duped an Ajax man, who was re- cently arrested for fraud after falling victim to an Internet swindle, police said. The incident has prompt- ed Durham Regional Police fraud investigators to warn the public to be on guard for offers that promise a quick and plentiful return for assis- tance with a stranger’s busi- ness transactions. “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s an old axiom, but it’s true still,” said Durham Regional Police Fraud Detective Jack Haze. In one recent scam, a 24- year-old Ajax man was taken in by a man he met on the Internet who promised him a piece of a $5 million inheri- tance, police said. The catch was that the Ajax man was required to cash a $45,000 cheque sent by courier. The supposed corre- spondent in Africa sent the cheque, which turned out to be fraudulent; the man was arrested at the bank and is facing fraud charges. This latest example is a variation on a theme that’s been floating around on the Internet for some time, Det. Haze said. Potential victims are contacted via e-mail and asked for assistance with a large purchase, or with free- ing up of funds such as in- heritances or lotteries; they are either asked to cash cheques, or to wire money in exchange for sizeable cheques or prizes. Despite numerous warnings, Dur- ham residents continue to be taken in by these scams. “In the past year we’ve probably had a dozen or so of these situations, where people have gone through with it,” Det. Haze said. “Generally, the cheques are stolen or altered. “In a month or so, they come bouncing back.” Internet scams still a lucrative lure ‘The people who are most at risk are the ones who are mortgage free, because it’s so much easier to put a lien on the house.’ BILL COWLING durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 24, 2005 PAGE 13 A/P SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com UPCOMING The Ajax-Pickering Rock opens its senior ‘B’ lacrosse season against the Ennismore Shamrocks at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sunday, May 1 at 7 p.m. Guerrieri wheels car to fifth-place finish, crashes in two races at Road Atlanta PICKERING — Bad luck and mechanical failure didn’t stop Pickering’s Chris Guerrieri from posting a solid result in the opening two races of the 2005 Cooper Tires Championship Series in Georgia last weekend. Race car drivers from 15 different U.S. states and from as far afield as Great Britain, Ve nezuela and Canada were among a strong field at the Road Atlanta track in Brasel- ton. The first race ended in frustration for Guerrieri, who’s racing his new For- mula Ford Zetec race car with U.S.-based Aiken Rac- ing. After earning the fifth position on the starting grid of 35, Guerrieri was left on the outside looking in after crashing early. By the end of the first lap he had passed two cars to take third. By lap 11 Guer- rieri was lapping traffic and had his sights set on the leaders. On lap 14 he approached another slower car, that had been shown the blue flag signal to allow the faster Guerri- eri to pass. Anoth- er driver, however, put his car into a spin, striking the left side of the Guerrieri race car sending him into the wall in Turn 7. Following the race, Guer- rieri’s team put its mechan- ics to work on repairing the car and setting it up again for race conditions. They worked into the evening and again the next day to get the car ready. S tarting third, Guerrieri was closely fol- lowing the pole sitter and the sec- ond-place starter when he was stricken by me- chanical failure. “All of a sudden it felt like the steer- ing had a 100 pound weight attached to it,” says Guer- rieri, in a press release. “I knew all I could do was hold on and keep going.” A connector that secures the steering mechanism to the sway bar had come loose and eventually detached. Guerrieri was able to keep the car on the track while still registering some solid lap times. In the end, he pi- loted his car to a fifth-place finish. The next stop for the se- ries is at the legendary Mid- Ohio racetrack Sunday, May 22. Guerrieri is looking for a podium finish.
