A jury deliberated nearly four days before finding the former Pick- ering resident guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Mr. Jones, who was shot to death outside his home Feb. 4, 2001. The penalty for first-degree murder is life in prison without parole for 25 years. The verdict marks the culmina- tion of a case that has been years in the making, and included a lengthy and exhaustive police investigation, as well as two sensational trials. A co-accused in the case was con- victed of murder last year. The verdict is a long-awaited relief for the family of the 28-year-old Mr. Jones, an innocent man who was murdered for co-operating with po- lice, and identifying Mr. Jacobson, a man he knew from high school days in Pickering, as a suspect in a violent home invasion robbery. “It’s been a long road,” said Keith Jones, Roy’s brother, after the guilty verdict Thursday afternoon. “My family is glad there’s closure to the whole thing. We’re happy that the jury arrived at the right deci- sion.” The jury was faced with the task of determining if Mr. Jacobson was telling them the truth when he testi- fied he never intended to kill Mr. Jones when he went to Ajax on a cold, sleet-lashed night with a gun, looking to confront him. Mr. Jacobson admitted he was there the night Mr. Jones died, and that he had played a role in the man’s death. But he insisted he never meant to cause Mr. Jones harm. Mr. Jacobson emphatically denied being the trigger man who shot Mr. Jones four times and left him to die in the middle of the street. The Crown’s case, led by prosecu- tor Paul Murray, was centred on a conspiracy involving Mr. Jacobson and his longtime friend, Sean Hall, to silence the Crown’s key witness in a case that could have sent Mr. Jacobson to prison for several years. Mr. Jones, who worked as a secu- Guilty verdict for Cosmo Jacobson Board says not its place to deal with easement issue By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The Ontario Mu- nicipal Board has decided it won’t get involved in the City of Picker- ing’s decision to remove agricul- tural easements from the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve. Sandy Rider, of the Whitevale Residents Association and local environmental group the Green Door Alliance, filed a contempt application with the OMB June 7 to have it enforce the 1999 order that created the easements in per- petuity. Ms. Rider and the GDA were parties to the memorandum of understanding that created the easements, as were Pickering, the Region of Durham and the Prov- ince. OMB chairwoman Marie Hub- bard sent a letter to the GDA and Ms. Rider’s lawyer, David Donnel- ly, June 29 denying the request for a motion hearing. “Any alleged breach of the memorandum of understanding and remedies that may lie in any such alleged breach are properly to be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and are not within the jurisdiction or power of the Board,” she wrote. Ms. Rider was frustrated, but not surprised. “It’s disappointing,” she said. “It’s bad that they won’t even en- force their own rulings.” Ms. Hubbard’s letter states the OMB did not rule on the matter of the easements, but rather on amendments to the Region of Dur- WET ’N WILD SUMMER FUN Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Students from Elizabeth B.

Mr. Jacobson quickly became a suspect, due to his involvement in the home invasion robbery and Mr. Jones’s pending testimony against him, Durham Homicide Detective Dave Henderson. “He was on the radar screen only because of his involvement in the home invasion,” Det. Henderson said. Det. Henderson said the verdict was important in an era when po- tential witnesses are so often in- timidated and made to fear for their safety. “Roy was doing his job. Roy did as he was asked to do as a secu- rity officer, and as a member of the community,” he said. “The only way police can do their job is by the community coming forward.” Deliberations began late Mon- day. Mr. Jacobson, who turns 30 Monday, took the stand in his own defence. He said the plan was for him to stand lookout at the west- ern end of Twilley Lane, while Mr. Hall would approach Mr. Jones and menace him with the gun, a .45 cali- bre semi-automatic Colt. But that plan went badly awry when Mr. Hall became involved in a struggle with the victim and “s queezed off” several shots, Mr. Ja- cobson testified. Mr. Murray called the defendant’s testimony a weave of “overwhelm- ing lies”. He said it was in fact Mr. Jacobson who shot Mr. Jones four times, the final shot an execution- style blast to the back of the head as the man lay wounded on Pickering Beach Road. In his closing argument, defence lawyer Anil Kapoor took aim at the Crown’s case, saying Mr. Jacobson had no reason to trade a sentence of several years on the robbery charges for an almost certain life term for murder. And he pointed to what he said was a glaring omission in the Crown’s case: No one called Mr. Hall, the man at whom Mr. Jacobson pointed the finger of blame. What the jury did not know was that Mr. Hall was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspira- cy to commit murder — as well as charges relating to the home inva- sion — last fall. He is currently serv- ing a life sentence. As they left the Whitby court- house together, members of Mr. Jones’s family expressed gratitude to the police and Crown’s office, and to the community, who Keith Jones said have offered support through- out the lengthy ordeal. And he acknowledged his mother, Carmen, who sat stoically through each day of both trials, spending eight months in court, listening to the details of her son’s death and the case against his killers. “She’s a very strong woman to be here every day... and to keep the family together,” he said. “She truly is a phenomenal woman.” A/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,JULY 3, 2005 durhamregion.com OSHAWA Floor Model Sell Off Everything must be sold to the bare walls!!!!

Justice Joseph De Filip- pis has shaved an addi- tional six months off the penitentiary term given to a man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Pickering resident Hugh Cave, saying Patrick Simaan endured “unique hardship” during the more than two years he’s spent in provincial jails since his arrest. But in a written ruling re- leased Friday morning, the judge rejected a defence lawyer’s appeal for enhanced credit for all the “dead time” Mr. Simaan has spent behind bars since being arrested in February of 2003. Cindy Wasser had argued Mr. Simaan, 36, did not re- ceive proper attention for medical complaints and spent an inordinate amount of time in overcrowded or locked-down jails while awaiting his day in court. She called for three-for-one credit for the pretrial cus- tody, rather than the tradi- tional two-for-one credit given for dead time. That time is typically subtracted from any sentence handed down. Crown counsel Frank Giordano argued Mr. Simaan should be entitled only to the standard two-for-one credit. The Crown and de- fence agreed upon an eight- year total sentence following Mr. Simaan’s guilty plea. During a hearing in May, the judge heard that Mr. Si- maan and Mr. Cave, 60, met on the Internet and agreed to meet for a sexual encoun- ter in January of 2003. Mr. Si- maan handcuffed Mr. Cave, taped his mouth shut and robbed him, taking off with his car and credit cards. Mr. Cave, left alone in his basement apartment, died of a heart attack; Mr. Simaan was arrested shortly after the liaison for second-degree murder, a charge that was reduced to manslaughter. In his decision, Justice De Filippis acknowledged Mr. Simaan’s frequent moves among provincial jails while awaiting trial, and periods of time during which he was locked down or in over- crowded conditions. But he said for the most part, the hardship the Toronto man endured was not significant- ly different than others. Nevertheless, Justice De Filippis said, Mr. Simaan ought to be given some extra credit for the time during which he was ill and await- ing proper medical atten- tion. “The defendant has estab- lished that he suffered hard- ship beyond that assumed by the traditional (two-for- one) credit for pretrial cus- tody,” the judge wrote in his ruling. “This arises primarily because of his illness. The judge sentenced Mr. Simaan to two and a half years in jail on top of the dead time he has served, a term that is the equivalent of eight years. Harsh jail time warrants reduced sentence Eight-time drunk driver gets five -year prison sentence By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — A career criminal has been sent to prison for nearly five years after being convicted of his eighth drinking and driving offence since 1979. The only way to keep 42- year-old Douglas Jolicoeur from endangering others is to put him behind bars for a substantial period of time, Crown prosecutor Brenda Green said during a sentenc- ing hearing for the Oshawa native Tuesday. Ms. Green said Mr. Joli- coeur’s “horrific” criminal record — he’s notched 68 convictions over the past 25 years — indicates how little regard the man holds for the law, and the safety of others. “He has been convicted multiple times of drinking and driving and he is a po- tential killer,” Ms. Green said in urging Superior Court Jus- tice Myrna Lack to give Mr. Jolicoeur penitentiary time. “The only way to protect the public against offenders like Mr. Jolicoeur is to remove them for significant periods of time from society. “We can’t wait until he kills someone to take ac- tion.” The judge agreed, sending Mr. Jolicoeur to prison for a total of four years and 10 months. Mr. Jolicoeur, who has been in custody since his arrest on June 21, 2004, will be credited with two years of pretrial custody. Mr. Jolicoeur, who never obtained a valid driver’s li- cense, has also been prohib- ited from driving for life. In passing sentence, the judge noted that until he can conquer booze, Mr. Jolicoeur will be prone to criminal be- haviour.

The easements were placed on some property in the preserve when it was sold by the provincial government in 1999. The easements were between the City and the landowner. In February, to settle a legal action initiated by some landown- ers in an effort to remove the easements, the City converted them to inhibiting orders in exchange for a minimum of $60 million if the land is developed. The pre- serve is still protected by the Province’s Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt. Ms. Hubbard said “in her respectful opinion” there is a venue for this issue to be heard. “The appropriate forum in which matters relating to the agricultural ease- ments, and any actions the (City) of Pick- ering may have taken in regard to the agricultural easements, may be litigated is a court of competent jurisdiction and not the Board.” Mr. Donnelly had registered the mat- ter with both the OMB and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The applicants still have to decide if they want to pursue the matter through the courts. Ms. Rider said she didn’t know what the next step is yet. “Not at this point, but there will be a next step. It just depends on when and how it comes,” she said. She said the residents’ association would follow through on what Mr. Don- nelly advises; he still needs to review the OMB’s decision. Mayor Dave Ryan congratulated the OMB for not being drawn into what he called an effort to “manipulate public opinion. “Obviously we’re pleased (with the decision). We were confident we were well within our rights and we were vindicated in that position.” If the issue is pursued further, Mayor Ryan isn’t worried. “I would be disappointed if we have to go to a judicial inquiry,” he said. “If we do the City remains confident that we can defend ourselves.” ✦ Group, From Page 1 Group says next step is unknown durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, JULY 3, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P Selection will vary by store.

This year, June was unusually warm and more hot, dry weather is forecast for July and August. Add to that an on- going strike by 1,000 Hydro One work- ers and lingering memories of the 2003 blackout could create energy anxiety. But with a few easy conservation measures, experts say this summer can still be a carefree one. According to Barb Dow, a spokeswoman for Hydro One, which distributes power to most Durham municipalities, air condition- ers are the single biggest culprit behind summertime electricity spikes. She adds that heat in the house usu- ally comes from sun shining through windows, heat that builds up in the attic and warmth from appliances and lights. Addressing these problem areas can cut down on the amount of air conditioning needed to make a house comfortable. Residents looking to cool off without any air conditioning at all, should take notes from the experts at Greensaver, a company that conducts energy audits on Durham homes. According to man- ager Keir Brownstone, 20 to 30 per cent of energy used in the average house- hold is unnecessary waste. While some homeowners opt for costly fixes, replacing appliances and re-insulating walls, he says simple mea- sures are just as effective. “These days a lot of people have a sec- ond fridge or freezer in their basement, or they have a beer fridge that they use in the summer,” he says. “They should ask... if they really need to be keeping an extra 20 drinks cold, or if they could just put a few in their regular fridge.” A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER,JULY 3, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Same-sex ruling gives rights to all Canadians How apropos that just prior to Canada Day came the affir- mation that this country is one of the most progressive in the world, with the passage of the same-sex marriage bill by Parliament. While Canadians remain divided over the hotly-debated issue, Prime Minister Paul Martin’s government, aided by New Democrat and Bloc Quebecois MPs, successfully carried a vote that the prime minister said was about upholding the Charter of Rights for all citizens. The bill, which will give homosexual couples the right to legally marry in this country, now goes to the Senate, where it’s expected to pass within weeks. While Tuesday’s vote leaves an unpalatable taste in the mouths of many Canadians opposed to it, the legislation follows the wishes of the Supreme Court, which ruled that minorities such as gays and lesbians cannot be discriminated against because of their sexual preference. Our courts were established with the concept of equality and fairness, and the ruling up- holds our beliefs about a minority’s rights not being trampled upon by the majority. At the same time, the same-sex legislation does not revoke any rights currently enjoyed by Canadians. Those whose religious beliefs go against the concept of same- sex marriage can be assured that, under provisions of the new law, no religious officials will be forced to perform gay mar- riages. The law recognizes the separation of church and state. If same-sex couples wish to affirm their relationship through a legal ceremony, or later divorce, it bears no negative conse- quences on the lives of other Canadians any more than tradi- tional marriage or divorce. The prime minister noted we are a nation of minorities, and that as such, we cannot “cherry-pick” rights. By extending the right to legally marry to all Canadians, we are making our country a better place. Electricity is being wasted To the editor: Re: ‘Weather enough to leave one short of breath’ and ‘Soci- ety has caused smog problem now it must fix it’, June 22. This is excellent coverage of the many aspects of smog that impact Durham residents. One of the recommendations stated in the editorial was reducing electricity consumption by ‘turning off the lights’, and as stated in the news item, the provincial government will not be closing the coal-burn- ing generating plants as originally promised during the last election. So the benefits of turning off unnecessary lights should be obvious. However, many lights are on during the night, apparently wastefully, shining onto the outside walls of buildings, both commercial and residential. A couple of glaring and ironic examples came June 24, a hot smog advisory day when striking employees shut down several generating units of the Nanticoke station. There was the all-night illumination of the building on Pickering Park- way containing the offices of Veridian Corp. (which distrib- utes electricity to Pickering and Ajax and is a proud member of ‘Powerwise’, according to its website) by large, very intense lights on the ground, brilliantly visible from Hwy. 401. An- other example is the Ajax’s McLean Community Centre and its brilliantly lit exterior — visible from Westney Road. Both buildings have bright lights shining upward at the outside walls nearly every night of the year. Many houses and businesses continue the practice of using lights to illuminate buildings all night. Besides the obvious waste of electricity generated from coal combustion, the lights contribute to light pollution of the night sky. So, during smog advisories or other electrical supply crises, citizens may won- der if there is something wrong with this picture.

Developers could build goodwill by removing conditions on funding T hese certainly are interesting times for Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital. Just last week the hospital announced it had more than met its capital cam- paign fundraising goal, accumulating $20.7 million in commitments from the community, comfortably more than its target of $17.2 (initially it was $13.7 mil- lion but a 25 per cent jump in the proj- ect’s cost bumped it up). On the surface, it’s certainly a remarkable achievement and reflects a lot of dedication from the community. There is much more going on than meets the eye, however. Amongst the $20.7 million in promises is a $7.5-mil- lion pledge by three developers who will only pay up if they have building permits in their hands within the next 16 months for Seaton land they own in north Picker- ing. That is where it gets interesting for the hospital. Yo u see, Pickering is nowhere near ready to issue permits for the land, and the developers insist there won’t be any money forthcoming without them. In the world of planning communities, espe- cially one the size of Seaton, 16 months truly isn’t a lot of time. Whether you like the approach or not, the developers have done nothing wrong in attaching conditions to their gift. In fact, they say it’s been employed in other communities as well. Pickering also can’t be faulted, however, for correctly taking the position that it won’t rush into a deci- sion. As the Province looks up and down the long list of potential hospital building projects across Ontario, one of the key factors in deciding which ones get pro- vincial dollars, is having the community funding commitment in place. Rouge Va lley hopes the $20.7 million is the final piece needed for approval in its long-de- veloped and much-needed expansion of the Ajax site. But the Province must realize that commitment is tenuous at best. Hope- fully it won’t be viewed as a deciding fac- tor against, because Ajax has more than demonstrated its need for expansion. It’s amazing the hospital can function at its current size and with the large commu- nities it serves. What would be great is for the devel- opers to take the strings off the donation and acknowledge that way off in the future when the Seaton building is done, those thousands of new homes will likely be the primary factor in Rouge Valley ultimately expanding again or another hospital being built. The developers are going to get their permits and will build their homes. They’ve also already signed a security for the money. They could build an awful lot more goodwill by cutting the strings attached to their commitment. To ny Doyle’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail tdoyle@durhamregion.com.

Whether the grades are high or low, parents can now plan to help their kids get off to a great start in September. “The summer is an excellent time to examine the previous school year for areas where your child can improve,” says Tom Hawks, owner of the Oxford Learning Centre in Pickering, Canada’s leading provider of supplemental learning programs. “If your child did poorly in a particular subject, you can get them up to speed during the summer. If they weren’t challenged in a particular area, you can develop independent study activities. A good supplemental education program can help your child catch up or reach ahead this summer. Improving a child’s academic performance can be a daunting task for many parents, admits Peter Gamlin, Ph.D., chair of the Academic Board of Oxford Learning Centres. Drawing on his extensive educational experience as a psychologist and full professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Applied Psychology and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Gamlin offers three simple steps for getting children ready for the new school year this summer. 1. Get your child assessed. Unless parents have an educational background, it’s diffi cult to translate grades into capability. That’s where a professional academic assessment can help. Look for an assessment test that pinpoints learning strengths and weaknesses while identifying gaps in reading, math, writing and study skills. That puts a positive spin on assessment and any subsequent work that is recommended. 2. Develop a summer learning program. Studies show that children lose approximately 40 per cent of their learning momentum during the summer. Parents can keep the momentum going by reviewing the previous year’s lessons and getting a head start on upcoming subjects. For example, give a lesson about space travel by visiting an aviation museum or solicit your kids’ help in cutting and counting summer fruits and vegetables. You can also incorporate journal writing into your children’s day by asking them to write about their day’s activities, as well as their thoughts and feelings. This is an excellent way to teach them how to organize their thoughts. You can even teach them organizational skills by showing them how to keep a calendar of their many activities. Remember to set both short and long-term goals as part of your summer learning program. Wr iting a page each day in a journal and doing a 20-minute math lesson three times per week are realistic goals. 3. Supplement your child’s education. The brain is like an athlete’s body: it needs to train year-round. Today, the average child is educated in crowded classrooms with insuffi cient resources. That means the average education is severely defi cient - and unlikely to prepare students adequately for college or university. Just as parents nurture their children’s musical or artistic talents with private lessons, so too can they help them improve their academic performance through supplemental education.

Durham residents want more bike lanes, racks on buses DURHAM — An opinion poll showed Durhamites want more flexibility with riding their bikes. As part of the Region’s upcoming cycling plan, Decima Research inter- viewed 637 residents, both cyclists and non-cyclists, a report to a recent plan- ning-works committee said. Highlights include: • 44 per cent of residents over 15 years old are cyclists • 63 per cent of households own at least one bicycle • more bikes lanes, either on trails or roads, or paved shoulders would im- prove cycling in Durham • 3 in 10 cyclists said they’d combine cycling with public transit if bike racks were available on buses • 61 per cent of residents with children said they would enrol their kids in a safe bicycle course Around 65 residents attended an open house in early May to voice their concerns with current bike conditions in the region. They included the need for more connections to GO stations and across barriers like Hwy. 401, lack of east-west bike connections and the need for education programs for cy- clists and motorists. The Region’s cycling plan will con- nect and expand bike lanes and paths in Durham, as well as encouraging more people to cycle and be aware of those on bikes.

Most incidents are preventable, says constable By Jeff Hayward Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM — Durham seniors have a weapon in their corner in the fight against fraud and abus- ers. Joe Mitschang, a veteran con- stable with the Durham Regional Police Service, delivered a mes- sage to seniors groups around Ajax and Pickering earlier this year, helping to bring to light po- tential dangers. The efforts were a partnership with Safe Communi- ties of Ajax/Pickering (SCOPA). He said fraud artists looking to make a living off unsuspecting seniors have different methods for reeling in their victims. “There are phone, e-mail, and (letter) mail scams,” he said, add- ing the amount of e-mail scams is on the rise and that the elderly are sometimes trapped when they respond to seemingly authentic messages asking for personal and credit card info. Const. Mitschang said some individuals use tricky tactics to further convince the recipient that the message is from a cred- ible source. “They will copy and paste the logos of existing companies into the (letterhead) or e-mail,” he explained. He noted that some of the messages promise them “s omething good” if they send a deposit by cheque or credit card. “They (fraudsters) keep try- ing… even if they get two out of 1,000 people to respond, they’ll still make money,” he said. He said it’s a good idea to have someone else watch over elderly persons’ bank accounts to moni- tor spending. He also wants se- niors to be on alert for people coming to collect money door to door, which could be fraudulent as well. “It’s important to safe-keep your homes… make sure you’re expecting someone when you an- swer the door, and avoid strange salespeople,” he suggested. Const. Mitschang noted se- niors are typically an easier target for criminals and are less likely to report being ripped off. However, he added that police often gain the upper hand in these cases when they are made aware of these happenings. “Most of these are solvable crimes,” he stressed. Crimes involving money are not the only danger that the el- derly face. Const. Mitschang also speaks about other types of mis- treatment to seniors that some- times go unreported, including physical abuse. “The victim might be depen- dant on the person that (hurt) them,” he said. He said it is often someone who has been put in charge of an elderly person’s well-being who could be abus- ing them, and they are afraid to speak up because they fear they may not receive further care. He said part of the problem can come from a lack of family members checking in. “Be aware of (unexplainable) bruises (you don’t normally see) on a senior in care, or trouble for them getting out of bed,” he explained, noting these could be signs of abuse. Domestic abuse of the elderly itself can also be a problem, he added. He mentioned that the DRPS treats these cases seriously and offers support to victims. Much like protecting yourself against fraud, he said raising awareness is the best weapon.

Mitschang’s infor- mation sessions typically ran about 45 minutes, followed by an average of 30 minutes of questions. There are no further sessions planned for the immediate future, how- ever he said officers will make themselves available if needed. “It may not be a yearly event (unless we come by specific invite),” he said, adding that SCOPA helps to lay out the calendar for the police visits. Most of the talks were in- tended only for those seniors within the establishments Const. Mitschang visited, however there are some ex- ceptions. “There’s sometimes adver- tising up on the (DRPS) web- site, inviting people to join in on the sessions,” he added. SCOPA was formed in 1998. It offers a variety of health and safety programs, and also partners with the fire officials, Ministry of La- bour, Canadian Red Cross, amongst many others.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactive disorder (AD/HD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), tourette’s syndrome, Asperger’s syndrome and Autism to name but a few, may be viewed as points on a spectrum of developmental disabilities in which those points share features in common and possible causes as well, varying only in severity and in the primary anatomical region of dysfunctional activity. The 1990s was coined “the decade of the brain”, the majority of what we know about brain function has come about in the past 10-15 years. Research has shown that a small area of the brain, known as the cerebellum or hind brain (as it is located at the back) contains 50 per cent of all our brain cells. Scientists have revealed that the cerebellum not only plays an important role in controlling movement but also contributes to a variety of activities not related to movement. The cerebellum has been found to play an imperative part in short-term memory, attention, impulse control, emotion, higher cognition (learning) and the ability to schedule and plan tasks. Researchers in England found a link between people that have cerebellar damage and dyslexia (difficulty reading). It was found that dyslexics have reduced cerebellar activity, which would suggest an abnormal cerebellum could be the root cause of why people have spelling, reading and writing difficulties. Dyslexia is not the only learning difficulty an underdeveloped cerebellum has been linked to. In 2002, a study conducted by Xavier Castellanos and Judith Rapport and the National Institute of Mental Health found that children with AD/HD had a cerebellum that was smaller in size compared to children without AD/HD. Children with AD/HD usually have a lack of impulse control, which has been cited as one of the key symptoms of having an underdeveloped cerebellum. Jordan Grafman and his co-workers at the National Institutes of health noted that people with cerebellar problems had trouble with attention, impulse control, working memory, and mental functions such as planning and scheduling. If this is the case, individuals with an underdeveloped cerebellum could suffer from learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or AD/HD. By doing appropriate cerebellar based treatments to stimulate cerebellar function, it is possible that many of the key symptoms of learning difficulties, such as problems with short term memory, acquisition of skills involved in language, reading and writing and attention problems could be reduced or eliminated. The cerebellum is actively involved with the control of our spinal muscles and balance as well as our eye movements. Therefore part of the treatment approach at the Samji Clinic deals with improving these areas. Research has shown that within a short period of time, when a human is not under the constant force of gravity, as he is when in outer space, the body and all of it’s systems, especially the brain, dysfunction significantly. There is a breakdown of the spinal muscles and the curves of the spine. In reported cases of “space dyslexia”, astronauts describe the same symptoms that we see in children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder and other learning difficulties. This is very interesting as our children today are less active as they were a generation or two ago. Decreased activity results in decreased development of our spinal muscles which results in decreased cerebellar development. At the Samji Clinic, we focus on improving cerebellar function using various brain based techniques and no drugs are used in our program. Within our 36 session program (one hour sessions three times per week for 12 weeks) we focus on not only improving brain function but also on improving academics. A special education teacher is on staff and spends a half an hour at each session uncovering the child’s academic weaknesses. The result is improved brain function and improved academic performance based on pre and post academic tests performed at our clinic. The program is run by Dr. Suhill Samji and is the only program of its kind in Ontario.

Pe r iodontal disease, or gum disease is one of the most common diseases to affect the human race. It is caused by the inability of the patients to thoroughly clean their teeth, resulting in accumulation of plaque and tartar, with the bacteria causing a breakdown of the gum tissue. This chronic infection eventually reaches the jawbone, causing infection and destruction of this bone. If left untreated, this will eventually lead to tooth loss. What is a pocket? A pocket is the space between the gums and the teeth. Dentists measure this space to determine whether a patient has gum disease or not and if so, the severity of it. Usually, pockets fewer than eight millimeters are deemed to be normal and healthy. If the space is greater, than there is a problem. How often should I have a cleaning done on my teeth? If your gums are healthy, you should have a cleaning done every six months. However, if you have moderate to advanced gum disease, it should be every three months. My teeth look clean, do I have to come in as often as the dentist suggests? You may be right. But most people cannot clean their back teeth properly, especially in between the molars. This is the area where we find 90 per cent of the problems.

Page 18 Pickering Panthers’ leading scorer last season asked to play a defensive role with Valiants By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Earning an ath- letic scholarship in hockey to the U.S. has always been uppermost in Derek Lynden’s mind. Now, the Pickering resident is on his way. Following an outstanding sea- son with the Pickering Panthers OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League team during the 2004-05 season, the high-scoring forward has recently signed on to play with the Manhattanville Col- lege Valiants, an NCAA Division III school in Purchase, New York, a 30-minute drive outside of New York City. “I’m really excited about it,” says Lynden, 20, who played two seasons with the Panthers. “I’ve wanted to do it for a long time. It was my goal going into last year and everything worked out well.” One of the most prolific scorers to ever wear a Pickering Panthers uniform, leading the Panthers in scoring with 34 goals and 53 assists for 87 points last season, Lynden says won’t be counted on to fill up opposition nets. Rather, he’ll fill a more defensive role as a rookie with the Valiants. Manhat- tan came off a winning campaign last season, compiling a 24-4-1 record, while losing in the NCAA Division III quarter-finals to New England College. Va liants’ head coach Keith Levinthal “wants me to play a more defensive role. They know I can score and play the power play. Definitely, I should get a lot of ice time, but I’ll be a bit of a role player in the first year, for sure.” Lynden says he’s not intimidat- ed by going into a winning atmo- sphere at Manhattanville, which plays its home games within the Eastern College Athletic Confer- ence in an arena dubbed the Play- land Ice Casino. In fact, he prefers going where he’ll be challenged every day to improve. “It’s always good to go to a win- ning team. That’s what playing sports is for,” he says. Lynden says he got in touch with the coaching staff at Manhat- tanville via e-mail. And, almost from the start, there was mutual interest. “I sent them an e-mail telling them who I was and they seemed to be interested. They got back to me, flew me down to visit the school and I liked what I saw and made my decision,” he says. Lynden gives full credit to the Panthers’ organization, especial- ly head coach John Winder, for helping him mature as a player. In fact, Lynden played a year for the Bowmanville Eagles of the OPJAHL’s East Conference when Winder served as an assistant coach. After Winder was named head coach in Pickering, Lynden decided to follow him to the Pan- thers. “I loved every minute of play- ing there,” he says. “I owe a lot to John Winder and all the players. My experience was always posi- tive. They’re a group of good guys and they’re really turning it into a good organization.” The five-foot, 10-inch, 185- pound forward says he will skate three times a week in preparation for the coming collegiate season. He’ll skate at the Whitby Iroquois Sports Centre with other area col- legiate players, including former Panthers Mike Alexiou and Garret Winder. Lynden leaves for New York on Aug. 24 and will begin training with the Valiants almost immedi- ately. The Manhattanville College hockey season begins in early No- vember. He plans to study business while attending Manhattanville. Bright lights of Manhattanville lure Lynden to New York college Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Former Pickering Panthers forward Derek Lynden will take the ice this season with the Manhattanville College Valiants, which compete in the NCAA Division III Eastern College Athletic Conference. Although a prolific scorer, the Pickering resident will fill a defensive role in his freshman season with the Purchase, New York-based squad. Rock ready to roll into playoffs By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — If the team’s play of late is any indication, the Ajax-Pick- ering Rock is ready for the playoffs. The Ontario Lacrosse Association senior ‘B’ team is sizzling, knocking off two of the hottest teams in the league — the Mohawk Stars and the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks — by 9-7 and 8-5 scores, respectively, last weekend to get back to the .500 mark with a 6-6-1 record. The Rock finished regular-sea- son play against the Owen Sound Woodsmen at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Saturday, with the result unavailable at press time. With the regular season out of the way, the Rock’s attention now turns to the playoffs and a date with its Durham Region rivals, the Brooklin Merchants, in the best-of-five East Division opening-round series. It’s expected to get underway later this week. Rock head coach/general man- ager Paul St. John says the series promises to be a good one, as the two regular-season games between the two teams — both won by the Rock — were highly competitive and exciting. He’s cautiously opti- mistic that Ajax-Pickering’s regu- lar-season success against the Mer- chants should also translate in the post-season. “I know that they’re comfortable they can beat us; they’ve made that quite clear,” says St. John. “But, we’ve obviously been building for the playoffs and we’re comfortable that we can be successful as well. We’re going into the first round playing our best lacrosse, so we’re hopeful that we can peak for the playoffs and play well.” A week after bringing aboard Dan Ladouceur, a longtime stalwart de- fensive player with the National La- crosse League’s Toronto Rock, the Rock have also signed Jared Bilich, who played with the senior ‘B’ league champion Barrie Lakeshores last season. Bilich was expected to be in the Rock’s lineup for Saturday’s game against Owen Sound. Bilich’s versatility will be huge for the Rock in the playoffs, says St. John, who’ll use him at both the defensive and the offensive ends of the floor. He’s also an excellent draw man. But, with Monday being the league’s trade deadline, St. John says he’s also contemplating making at least two more roster moves, noting that acquiring a sniper or two will be at the top of his wish list.
