Committee wants
prayer said before
official start
of meeting
By Erin Hatfield
ehatfield@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — There’s power in
prayer, regional committee mem-
bers have decided.
With a little policy “tweaking”
the Lord’s Prayer may remain
the practice at Durham Regional
council meetings.
“I think it is clear there is an
opportunity to continue the pro-
cess and yet make those who feel
uncomfortable comfortable,” Re-
gional chairman Roger Anderson
said.
After hearing from about 20
residents, all in support of main-
taining the practice of reciting the
Lord’s Prayer at the start of Region-
al Council meetings, the planning
committee unanimously approved
a new policy, which now has to
go to full council for ap-
proval. The more than 50
people who packed into
a boardroom at Regional
headquarters on Jan. 18,
hugged and shook hands
over their victory after a motion
passed recommending council
recite the Lord’s Prayer, and pos-
sibly an additional, non-denomi-
national prayer, prior to the official
opening of council meetings.
By doing this, Mr. Anderson
said, council won’t be violating the
Charter of Rights, as claimed by
the Ottawa-based group
Secular Ontario.
“If we can meet the law
by doing this, and we can
be inclusive by doing this,
then I think that is the
way we should go about it,” Ajax
Mayor Steve Parish said.
If the recommendation is ap-
proved, council will recognize the
entrance of the chairperson, who
will ask those wanting to partici-
pate in the Lord’s Prayer to join
him in reciting it. At the end of the
prayer the meeting will be called
to order.
“Today there is a potential for
this committee to change Dur-
ham’s history, but I am not going
to change the history of this coun-
try,” Mr. Anderson added.
For three hours prior to the
vote residents made impassioned
speeches, drawing on scripture,
personal experience and legal ar-
guments for keeping the Lord’s
Prayer.
Many of the residents that spoke
drew on Canada’s history as an
argument for continuing the prac-
tice.
“Not saying the Lord’s Prayer is
like not singing ‘O Canada’ before
a hockey game,” Robert Holland
said. “The Lord’s Prayer has been
protocol since confederation.”
Others spoke of how praying
provides municipal guidance in
Region comfortable with Lord’s Prayer

“Praying will give you wisdom in these
decisions from which I will benefit so I want
you to be wise,” Dr. Gabriel Ferdinand said.
Dr. Ferdinand said he was speaking to
committee as a member of a minority, hav-
ing come to Canada 40 years ago.
“I didn’t come here expecting Canadians
to give up stuff,” he said. “I expect them to
include me.”
Some said we live in perilous times and
prayer is needed.
“My contention is we should continue
with the Lord’s Prayer,” said Dr. John Wilson,
a Courtice resident. “We need it now more
then ever.”
The proposed process goes before Re-
gional council at its Jan. 24 meeting.

Tr ustees approve $1 million
for changes to education centre
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The Catholic school board has
big expansion plans for its education centre in
Oshawa.
During the board’s Jan. 15 meeting, trustees
approved proceeding with architectural draw-
ings for the more than $1 million phase one of its
Catholic education centre accommodation plans,
initially discussed and approved in-principle dur-
ing a November in-camera meeting. The plans
weren’t discussed in open session before receiv-
ing in-principle support.
Ryan Putnam, the Durham Catholic District
School Board’s comptroller of finance, said the
plan was approved in open session Nov. 27 as part
of the board’s 2006/07 revised budget estimates,
even though it was not highlighted or discussed
then. Mr. Putnam said it was discussed in-camera
prior to the meeting because it was still just a con-
cept.
The plan was approved with direction to come
back as a facility’s report in January for discussion,
and did on Jan. 15.
According to a report on the Catholic education
centre’s master plan, presented Jan. 15 by Saccoc-
cio Weppler Architects, phase one would bring
the current 56 student services staff housed in a
portion of Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic Sec-
ondary School to the education centre, located on
Rossland Road West in Oshawa.
“The object of the accommodation plan is to
consolidate staff on one site,” said Paul Weppler
of Saccoccio Weppler Architects, while presenting
the facilities report.
Consolidation would eliminate extra accom-
modation costs and the duplication of support
space and services, such as parking, shipping and
receiving, courier, and lunchroom, he added.
Along with the creation of office space in the
lower level of the education centre, the first phase
includes: an elevator for barrier free accessibility;
more parking spots; relocation of the print room
from the centre to the facilities services building,
and an upgrade to its air distribution and controls
system.
“The lunchroom will be downsized and relo-
cated to maximize the floor area for student ser-
vices staff workstations,” said Dana Saccoccio, of
Saccoccio Weppler Architects.
“Can I ask you how much smaller the staff room
will be,” said Whitby Trustee and board chair-
woman Mary Ann Martin.
“I’d say about a third of the existing,” replied
Ms. Saccoccio. Through staff consultation, it was
determined the lunchroom is not used as much
as the space allows for because people go out for
lunch, she added.
Trustee Martin said the trustees use the space
sometimes. She added currently there is only a
cubby box provided for the trustees office, which
doesn’t allow for a private conversation. She asked
if maybe that could be addressed.
Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones also wanted to
see changes made to provide trustees with more
space in the education centre.
Director of Education Patricia Manson said
trustees never expressed interest in getting the
additional space before.
“We will certainly look at the suggestions you’ve
made for that,” said Ms. Manson.
Phase one costs include: $90,000 for relocating
the education centre’s print room to the facilities
service building; almost $700,000 for student ser-
vices changes, including $250,000 for mechanical
and $125,000 for electrical; $132,000 for parking,
and $131,000 for soft costs, such as $110,000 for
engineer and architectural fees. The total cost of
the first stage is estimated at $1.048 million, plus
GST.

Not everyone agrees issue
is a municipal concern
By Danielle Milley
dmilley@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Councillor Doug Dickerson wants
to help Canadians get healthy.
The Ward 2 City councillor introduced a motion
at the Jan. 15 council meeting dealing with banning
trans fat. He wants the City to urge the federal min-
ister of health to pass legislation banning the use of
trans fat in food preparation and that the ban take
place no later than Jan. 1, 2009.
“A t this stage of our history trans fat is not on
everyone’s radar screen, most people don’t want to
get into it,” Coun. Dickerson said.
He said medical science has warned about the
dangers of trans fat and done several studies to back
this up.
“(They) have shown trans fat are responsible for
clogging arteries and are responsible for the deaths
of thousands of North Americans,” he said. As part
of his motion, Coun. Dickerson wants the Durham
Region medical officer of health to prepare a fact
sheet for presentation to Durham Regional council,
and that Regional council be requested to endorse
Pickering’s motion. He would also like the motion to
be endorsed by provincial and territorial municipal
associations, the Federation of Canadian Municipali-
ties, and the minister of health in each province and
territory.
He said a ban has already passed in New York City
that is to come into effect June 1, 2008.
While Coun. Dickerson’s motion did pass, not all
councillors were in support.
“I don’t support smoking, but I don’t begrudge
someone’s right to smoke,” Ward 3 Regional Council-
lor Rick Johnson said. “I’m not going to be support-
ing this because I don’t think this is an issue for local
government.” The motion passed four to two in a
recorded vote with Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bon-
nie Littley also voting against.
Others in Canada are also taking on the trans fat
issue, with the Trans Fat Task Force, co-chaired by
Health Canada and the Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion, having submitted to the minister of health in
June 2006. It recommends the government enact
legislation that places limits on the use of trans fat, in-
cluding that for all vegetable oils and for soft, spread-
able (tub-type) margarines the total trans fat content
be limited to two per cent of total fat content; and for
all other foods purchased by a retail or food service
establishment for sale to consumers or for use as
an ingredient in the preparation of foods on-site the
total trans fat content be limited by regulation to five
per cent of total fat content.

Two reactors off-line
following filter failure
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — The new year has been a
“bit of a challenge” at the Pickering nuclear
station.
John Coleby, a senior vice-president at
Pickering, said two reactors had to be taken
off-line because of a problem on the conven-
tional side.
Units 6 and 8 were shutdown because of
“water quality issues” with the boilers, he
said during a meeting of the Community
Advisory Council meeting Tuesday.
Water going into the boilers has to be
“super clean,” Pickering public affairs man-
ager Jacquie McInnes said in an interview.
There was a filter failure which “degraded
the water quality,” so the reactors were shut
down until the problem could be corrected,
she added.
Mr. Coleby noted from “Christmas onward
has been a bit of a challenge” at the station.
Unit 6 has since returned to service and
Unit 8 should be back soon, he added.
Units 4 and 7 are shut down for planned
maintenance outages, with both expected
back on-line by the end of the month.
In other news, Mr. Coleby said Ontario
Power Generation is taking part in a solar
panel research centre in Toronto, on lands
set aside for the Portlands gas-fired plant.
The centre would produce about one mega-
watt of power, enough to service 1,000
homes.
About 1,000 megawatts are expected to
come on-line by the end of next year, he
stated.
Also, Hydro One should soon sign a deal
with Quebec to bring hydro-electricity into
Ontario. Nuclear power provides the basel-
oad of energy in Ontario, he said. “Coal fire
picks up the slack.”
What the new generation will do is “allow
the government to... reduce the amount of
fossil fuel used and greenhouse gases gen-
erated.” Also during the meeting, Laurie
Swami, the nuclear director of licencing,
said the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis-
sion is holding a hearing on Jan. 24 in Otta-
wa to review the environmental assessment
guidelines for the refurbishment of the ‘B’
side at Pickering. OPG has been preparing a
business case on refurbishing the four ‘B’ re-
actors. If the work proceeds, it would extend
the life the reactors to 2060.
The refurbishment work would begin in
about 2014.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Ta xpayers hammered while politicians cash in
Letter to the editor:
Re: Police association boss pushing for more cops, Dec. 30
News Advertiser.
So, the police union boss requires more cops, which will
mean another spike in our taxes.
I would suggest any requests for new cops should be left to
management and the taxpayers. I would also say if some of the
fully uniformed cops were removed from behind the reception
desk and put back on the beat and were replaced by civilian
clerks, it would mean a large saving for overburdened taxpay-
ers, including seniors, minimum-wage earners, small business
owners and others on fixed incomes. I suggest Canada must
now be the highest taxed country in the universe.
How long will it be before people will have to abandon their
homes and give their keys to the sly politicians for the simple
reason they can’t keep up with the ever-increasing taxes,
but who take good care of themselves by going to the public
trough and feeding on 25-per cent pay raises.

P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, January 19, 2007 durhamregion.com
J udging from the lengthy debate about
one issue at the first two meetings of
this term, you’d think Pickering didn’t
have any financial problems, and all con-
tentious issues have been wrapped up and
tied with a pretty bow.
The issue was Mac vs. PC. (That is sim-
plifying the issue a tad, but not by much).
At the first meeting on Jan. 8, Councillor
Jennifer O’Connell attempted to introduce
amendments to the policy concerning
computer and telecommunications equip-
ment – namely that councillors should be
able to purchase whatever equipment they
prefer (as long as it falls within the $10,000/
term budget).
The crux of the matter is Coun. O’Connell
wants a Mac, but Macs aren’t compatible
with the City’s network or the expertise of
the IT department.
The amendments are valid points and
maybe a councillor should be able to buy
whichever equipment he or she deems
necessary to do the job properly. But, is
this an issue that deserves more than an
hour of debate (and not just from Coun.
O’Connell)? And it’s not even over yet, it’s
been deferred to the council retreat for
further discussion.
After sitting through debate part deux
Monday night, I applaud Councillor Rick
Johnson’s comments.
“I’ve come back and had more time talk-
ing about this computer policy than the ag
preserve (or anything else),” he said.
I’m all for encouraging transparency in
government, but maybe it’s best to save the
one-hour discussions for planning items.
If one good thing came out of all this,
it’s that the telecommunications/computer
budget for all councillors in the past six
years is available for residents to peruse.
Now that’s an issue that deserves to be
made public.
While in the grand scheme of the City’s
multi-million dollar budget the figures
aren’t that significant, it is interesting to
see the details of yet another perk given to
Pickering’s municipal representatives (in
addition to travel allowances, expenses for
meals, etc).
And yes, with bills of $10,000, it is a perk,
not a necessity.
What resident trying to run a tight
household budget spends nearly $6,000
on a laptop? Or buys a $937 LCD screen?
And should residents really be paying for a
councillor to have a laptop and a desktop?
Some of the more frugal current council-
lors are Mayor Dave Ryan (low of $2,089),
Councillor Bonnie Littley (just elected in
November), Coun. Johnson and Councillor
David Pickles ($6,064).
Residents, I recommend you request the
full report.

Pickering principal
deserves kudos
Sarah McDonald has had a
fantastic impact on Pine Ridge
Being a principal must often be like being the only customer
service representative at a large company. There’s praise and
compliments, to be sure, but generally callers are registering
complaints, sometimes in person and at high decibel levels.
A principal has a tremendous amount of responsibility, espe-
cially when you consider that some Durham schools have a student
population of well over 1,000 students. They’re educators, manag-
ers, business people, confidantes, team builders, friends, substitute
moms and dads, all at once. If the buck stops anywhere in a school,
it’s at a principal’s desk.
So, we’re pleased as punch that one of Durham’s best, Sarah Mc-
Donald from Pine Ridge Secondary School, was one of 32 Cana-
dian educators recently recognized as one of Canada’s Outstanding
Principals by The Learning Partnership. Her focus on students has
had a big impact on the school, and that she has made great strides
there is even more impressive given that it’s one of the most popu-
lous high schools in Durham, (roughly 1,750 students), and one that
faces more than its share of challenges.
We sound old saying it, but school isn’t what it used to be. Sure,
principals and educators in general have always done more than just
teach reading, writing and math. They’re dealing with hundreds of
young people, after all. But, now more than ever, principals have
more on their plate because kids have more on theirs. It’s a faster,
more complex and more dangerous world than it used to be. Wit-
ness the changes in this community in the last 25 years or so.
Ms. McDonald delivered just what was required in this day and
age. The school’s ‘I am the change’ program deals with respect,
manners, leadership, integrity and other areas, crucial as a young
person develops into an adult who can make a positive contribution
to society. Staff and student development and an emphasis on keep-
ing kids interested in school are laudable initiatives. Anybody who
caught the school’s Improv Team performing at the Pickering Town
Centre a week ago, a fundraiser to help build a school in Sri Lanka,
witnessed a group of young people any principal or parent would be
proud of.
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention that a second Durham
principal, Anderson CVI’s John Morrison, another excellent educa-
tor and school leader, was also named as one of Canada’s Outstand-
ing Principals.

Jeremy Pike was
arrested in 2005
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Durham’s head Crown
attorney has warned a teacher facing
numerous sex-related charges he’ll be
hauled into a courtroom if his case
doesn’t soon move ahead.
John Scott announced his intention
to have Jeremy Pike brought to a court-
room in person if he hasn’t hired a
lawyer by his next video appearance
in two weeks time. Mr. Scott made
the statement Friday morning after Mr.
Pike again appeared by video and said
he has yet to hire someone to replace
his lawyer, who was appointed as a
judge last fall.
“I don’t have counsel at the mo-
ment,” Mr. Pike said when he appeared
in a video suite at the Toronto East
Detention Centre.
He said he’s contacted a lawyer, but
hasn’t yet heard if he’ll be taken on as
a client.
Mr. Pike, of Bowmanville, has made
almost 20 court appearances since
his arrest in July 2005, most of them
by video link in the Oshawa remand
court. The former Grade 5 teacher at
Glen Street Public School in Oshawa
faces charges of sexual assault against
children and making child pornogra-
phy.
Under Canadian law, a person who
is found guilty of an offence is credited
with time served in custody awaiting
trial. The so-called dead time is typi-
cally calculated at a two-for-one rate
and is effectively subtracted from any
jail time a judge metes out.
Mr. Pike has not been found guilty of
any offences.
Crown wants case against
former teacher to move ahead

Changes to City’s
procedures
started following
the 1998 Quebec
ice storm
PICKERING — In the
event of a nuclear emer-
gency or extreme weather
conditions, Pickering now
has a more comprehensive
emergency management
bylaw and plan in place.
The new bylaw was
needed to both update the
one being used by the City,
but also to conform to new
provincial legislation.
“What we had was out-
dated. It was dated 1999
and many changes had
happened in the field of
emergency management,”
said Joe Hunwicks, Pick-
ering’s community emer-
gency management co-or-
dinator.
He said while many
might think the changes
come out of the events of
S ept. 11, changes began
to be made following the
Quebec ice storm in 1998,
when municipal and pro-
vincial governments were
reminded of the need to be
better prepared for emer-
gencies.
A community emergen-
cy is defined as any event
that affects an entire com-
munity or a large portion
of it, including its people,
property, infrastructure,
economy, and/or environ-
ment. Examples include
a public health outbreak,
chemical accident, or a
major infrastructure fail-
ure.
Mr. Hunwicks said the
new bylaw is simpler, al-
lows the CAO to autho-
rize minor changes to the
community emergency
management program and
plan, and allows the desig-
nation of any employee as
an emergency worker.
A community emer-
gency management plan
is part of the bylaw and
the community emergency
management program. The
plan is to be the master
plan for emergency man-
agement. The new plan in-
cludes new areas that Mr.
Hunwicks said have been
talked about in regards to
emergency management,
but never included in the
plan. They include acces-
sibility, the human ele-
ment of emergency man-
agement (HR), recovery
planning, and emergency
animal services.
“Those are matters that
for many years we’ve been
talking about, but they are
matters that haven’t been
included in emergency
management plans – pro-
vincial or municipal,” he
said.

Area in Pickering affected
by Regional decision
By Danielle Milley
dmilley@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Councillor Bonnie Littley
is following through on a campaign promise
to increase consultation with the public.
At both the Jan. 8 executive committee
meeting and council meeting
Monday, the new Ward 1 Regional
councillor tried to put public con-
sultation about potential changes
to Pickering’s green belt lands
front and centre.
“It’s important for people to be
aware,” she said. “And I did run on
increasing public consultation.”
At the Jan. 9 Regional planning
committee meeting, members
voted five to one in favour of rec-
ommending council affix a sup-
plemental attachment to its official plan that
earmarks thousands of acres of provincial
green belt land for future development. It
goes to council Jan. 24.
Pickering is one of the municipalities that
would be affected, with the attachment rec-
ommending the southern portion of the
Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve (DRAP)
be designated as a future growth area.
The area is also recommended for devel-
opment in the City’s growth management
study, adopted in June 2004. There were
several public consultation opportunities at
that time. Pickering’s position that the area
not be included in the green belt was also
made public.
(The entire DRAP is protected by not only
the Province’s green belt legislation, but also
by its own piece of legislation).
“There was public consultation on the
growth management study and
that has been the last consulta-
tion period of any kind (on the
issue of) developing on what is
now the green belt lands,” Coun.
Littley said in an interview.
She said the other munic-
ipalities affected by the Regional
attachment – Clarington and Ajax
– had some level of consultation
in 2006 to make residents aware
of what is being considered.
She asked for Pickering to
do the same, as a private citizen, in Septem-
ber, but no consultation ever took place lo-
cally. The local municipality is not required
to conduct public consultations on Regional
issues.
“There’s no requirement for them to allow
(it), but if we’re trying to increase (aware-
ness) then we should,” Coun. Littley said.
She brought forward a motion at Monday’s
meeting to give the public the opportunity to
make presentations regarding the Regional
attachment at the Jan. 22 executive commit-
tee meeting. The motion lost.
She also has a problem with the way
the issue of public consultation has been
handled Regionally.
She said the agenda for the planning meet-
ing wasn’t available until the day before so
residents had little time to review it and plan
a presentation, if they got on the delegation
list. “That’s just not reasonable, (if you want)
to allow an engagement in the process,” she
said.

Searching for the perfect rock
PICKERING — Sarah Hepditch, stops to collect some rocks as her parents, John and Susan, wait for their
rock hunter. The trio was walking along the Pickering Beachfront Park recently.
Fundraiser for a
pair of Sassy girls
DURHAM — Here’s a chance to make
a difference in the lives of two young
ladies.
Rosalie St. Jean, 17, of Ajax, was
left a quadriplegic after breaking her
neck in a swimming pool accident last
summer. Bryce Cormier, 2 of Whitby,
was born with a heart defect and has
already undergone three open chest
surgeries and may be facing heart-
transplant surgery.
To aid the girls in having a better
quality of life, a fundraising event is
being held this Sunday, Jan. 21, from
4 to 9 p.m. at Sassy’s Restaurant, at the
northwest corner of Garden Street and
Rossland Road, Whitby.
Rosalie’s family would like her to
come home, but because of her needs,
she may have to be transferred to a
nursing home. She needs around-
the-clock attendant care. Should Ro-
salie come home, special equipment
is needed, including a prescriptive
wheelchair, medical and fitness equip-
ment.
Since her birth in February of 2005,
Bryce has proven to be a fighter. Her
parents were told she would need
major surgery immediately after birth,
but Bryce came into the world health-
ier than anyone expected. However,
she’s since gone through several sur-
geries and is at Bloorview Macmillan’s
Rehab Centre receiving treatment.
The fundraiser, which is sold out, in-
cludes prizes, a sit-down dinner, music,
games, a silent auction, billiards and a
cash bar.
To make a donation call Shari Mi-
chaelson at 905-686-7122.

Whitby ON, Jan 12, 2006 – Saint Elizabeth Health Care (SEHC) has been rated by its
employees as one of the 50 Best Employers in Canada for 2007.
Employees themselves determined the best places to work in the country, based on their
responses to a confi dential opinion survey that measures employee engagement. SEHC
was the only health care service organization in Canada to make the top 50 list.
“This award is dedicated to the talented team at Saint Elizabeth Health Care, working
together to support the community of Durham”, said Lynn Park, manager of SEHC.
SEHC employees exemplify the best qualities of their profession and embrace a team
spirit that is built on respect, passion, energy and excellence. Their talents make a tre-
mendous contribution to SEHC and set the foundation for providing phenomenal care.
SEHC employs 200 staff throughout the Durham SDC and has been delivering home
and community care to serve the local community since 1988.
According to president and chief executive offi cer Shirlee Sharkey, SEHC’s journey
toward becoming a best employer began over four years ago when the organization
launched a talent strategy focused on employee engagement.
“Whether we’re creating an amazing work environment, or delivering phenomenal
health care to people in their homes and communities, our approach is much the same,
“said Sharkey. “It starts with gaining a profound understanding of people and their
needs – it’s about creating value and meaning for people, human relationships and the
health system as a whole.”
More than 140 organizations applied to participate in the annual Best Employers in
Canada Study. While this is the fi rst time that SEHC has made the list of Canada’s 50
Best Employers, the organization was recognized in 2006 as one of the Best Workplac-
es in Canada by Canadian Business magazine.
Saint Elizabeth Health Care is a Canadian not-for-profi t charitable organization that
shares its talent and wisdom nationally and internationally through direct care and
service, consultation, and education and e-learning to support the transformation of care
for families, organizations and communities.

‘It’s not about
being alarmist.
It’s about being
ready’
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — At the height
of a pandemic, up to 50 per
cent of a business’s em-
ployees could be off for two
weeks or more.
Public health officials
predict an influenza pan-
demic could occur within
the next few years, yet most
small and medium-sized
businesses don’t have a
plan in place. The Ontario
Chamber of Commerce has
prepared a pandemic tool
kit to help business owners,
which the Ajax-Pickering
Board of Trade is providing
to all businesses.
Wayne Hoth, from
Pickering Audio Visual and
chairman of the board’s
emergency planning task
force, says the 18-page
booklet “basically starts out
explaining staff absences,
protection from the influ-
enza, a continuity plan.
We’ve been trying to teach
businesses (to be ready) for
anything. A pandemic is
high on the list.”
Items in the tool kit in-
clude estimates of potential
staff absences, legislative
requirements governing
staff absences, a list of pos-
sible effects to business and
service operations, preven-
tion techniques to limit the
spread of a disease, a busi-
ness continuity checklist
and additional resources.
There’s a checklist for
small and medium-sized
businesses, which includes
guides and ideas on “how
to get started,” Mr. Hoth
states.
“It’s not about being
alarmist. It’s about being
ready.”
He compares it to prepa-
rations businesses under-
took for Y2K.
“If nothing happens,
they’re prepared and
they’re ready. It they don’t
plan, they’re not an asset to
the community,” Mr. Hoth
says. “They could go out of
business and lose money.
“Forty per cent of busi-
nesses without a plan don’t
survive,” he adds. “A plan
could be to discuss if the
power is out for a week in
the winter. How would you
run your business?”
If there’s a pandemic,
“there’s no customers” and
things that affect business.
A plan could be used if a
train derails while carrying
a toxic substance, much like
the incident in Mississauga
in 1979.
“It could be for a few
hours to several days. Some
of our suppliers were out
there and some never came
back.
“Most businesses in Can-
ada, about 80 per cent, are
10 and under employees.
Most small and medium-
size businesses are 50 peo-
ple and under. Even some
of those businesses have no
plan at all,” Mr. Hoth states.
“Most do not have any plan
at all and that leaves them
totally vulnerable.
“Myself, I’m at a loss at
what I’m doing, so I’m get-
ting an education too,” Mr.
Hoth says.
The board is holding a
training session on May 10.
“We’ll teach people how to
get started on a business
continuity plan to cover a
pandemic. They’ll go away
with a hard copy in hand.”

DURHAM — The Lieu-
tenant Governor of On-
tario is appealing to On-
tarians to help bring the
magic of reading to Ab-
original children, by do-
nating new and gently
used books during the
month of January.
The Hon. James K.
Bartleman said he be-
lieves in the transforma-
tive power of books.
“Too many Native chil-
dren in remote fly-in com-
munities do not know how
to read,” he said.
Books can be dropped
off at any OPP detachment
across Ontario, or at the
17 Toronto Police Services
stations across the GTA.
Since 2004, Mr. Bartle-
man has introduced four
initiatives to support ab-
original literacy.

Durham MP hands
over $190,915 cheque
By Erin Hatfield
ehatfield@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A federally funded program seeks to
set the standard in water efficiency.
Durham MP Bev Oda was at Regional headquar-
ters on Jan. 12 to present the region with a $190,915
cheque, a grant under the Green Municipal Fund,
to study the viability of using water-efficient equip-
ment. “The study will quantify the water and energy
savings that can be achieved in 88 new homes by
installing more efficient fixtures like high-efficiency
toilets and Energy Star appliances,” Regional chair-
man Roger Anderson said. “The 88 efficient homes
will also feature drought-tolerant front gardens to
reduce watering.”
The study is a partnership between Natural Re-
sources Canada, the Federation of Canadian Mu-
nicipalities, Tribute Communities and Durham Re-
gion. Beginning last September, usage of water and
energy in the efficient homes is being tracked and
compared to 88 standard homes in a control group
in the same Ajax neighbourhood.
“With this data we will do a cost-benefit analysis
of each efficient fixture, appliance and feature com-
pared to those in the standard builder package,” Mr.
Anderson said.
“Through the Green Municipal Fund, Canada’s
new government is supporting the efforts of munici-
palities across the country to improve air quality and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Ms. Oda.
“Investments based on the fund’s feasibility studies,
field tests and pilot projects will provide the kind of
information we need so all new homes across the
country can benefit from the most efficient water-
saving and energy-saving schemes.”
David Speigel, vice president of operations for
Tribute Communities, said the company is excited
about the project.
“We are looking forward to the results and starting
to build houses with this information in mind,” Mr.
Speigel said.
Conservation can save Durham taxpayers money
by reducing the demands on infrastructure by re-
ducing the load on the supply treatment plants,
according to the Region’s works commissioner, Cliff
Curtis. Even with water and sewer rates on the rise,
attributed in part to a loss of consumption, conser-
vation efforts are important to keeping costs down.
But, conservation alone won’t reduce the overall
cost because there are other drivers.
“If it wasn’t for conservation the cost would be
going up faster because we would have to expand
the water supply plant sooner,” Mr. Curtis said.
He explained there are two components of the
bill, the service charge and consumption charge.
Even though residents reduce their consumption
they still get hit with service costs. The service
charge pays for all the things that aren’t related to
consumption like water mains and fire hydrants.
“Conservation is good but you can’t get rid of all
the costs though conservation,” Mr. Curtis said.
“I’ve got billions of dollars in assets buried in the
ground that need millions of dollars of work,” Mr.
Curtis said. “The other cost driver is that regulations
are getting tighter and tighter and we are spending
a lot of money doing bookkeeping to prove we have
good water.”

Court orders payment
of $3,000 each
DURHAM — Two Whitby contractors have been
fined $3,000 each for replacing the control panel
of an elevator in an Oshawa apartment building,
work authorities say the men weren’t properly
qualified to perform.
The charges stem from an inspection made in
late January 2004 by the Technical Standards and
Safety Authority (TSSA).
According to the TSSA, an inspector discov-
ered that a major alteration had been made to
a passenger elevator in a four-storey apartment
building located at 300 Mary St. N. The building
is owned by Ontario property management com-
pany, Park Lane II Inc.
“The controller had been replaced. It’s essen-
tially the brains of the elevator,” said TSSA spokes-
man Dave Lisle. “It’s the part of the elevator that
makes sure it opens and shuts and stops on any
floors. It also controls any safety measures.”
Investigators determined the repairs had been
done by two unregistered contractors, reports
the TSSA. Work of that nature should only be
performed by a registered contractor employing
an elevating device mechanic or a mechanic-in-
training under strict supervision.
The two unregistered contractors were also
charged with not submitting a design, not gaining
a safety inspection before operation and operat-
ing an unsafe elevating device -- all contrary to the
Te chnical Safety Act. Rodney Weaver and Barry
Thompson pleaded guilty to the charges, which
were presented to the Ontario Court of Justice in
Whitby in late October 2006. They were each fined
$3,000, plus a 25 per cent victim surcharge.
The maximum penalty available under the Act
is a $50,000 or imprisonment for a term of no
more than one year, or both.
Mr. Lisle said he wasn’t aware of any injuries re-
sulting from the repairs to this particular elevator.
A TSSA investigation can result from complaints,
regular inspections or any reports of malfunc-
tion.

Pickering resident tells
his story of breaking
the poverty cycle
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Sitting in a Pickering coffee
shop, Spider Jones holds up his right wrist to
reveal a scar.
“I was stabbed here,” says the former Detroit
gang leader, pulling up his jacket sleeve. “I was
blocking a straight razor in a fight.”
Charles ‘Spider’ Jones, now a radio/tele-
vision broadcaster and motivational speaker,
knows first hand about the lifestyle he helps
youth avoid.
“To grow up poor and in poverty, those scars
are not easy to heal,” he says.
One of 11 kids in his parents’ two-bedroom,
rat-infested house with no running water, Mr.
Jones grew up on the Windsor side of the De-
troit River.
“We (kids) slept in one bed, five or six of us,”
he said.
Their house was always cold in the win-
ter and when he was six, his baby brother
died of pneumonia during the night. Mr. Jones
watched his baby’s body was taken away. He
was left terrified of the dark and began to com-
pulsively wet the bed. To hide his accidents, he
wore his clothes over his urine-stained under-
wear. At school, the kids teased him for smell-
ing bad and he struggled with racism.
“I had really low self-esteem; I used to beat
myself up... my face was swollen,” says Mr.
Jones.
“Low self-esteem to me is the No. 1 predator
in the world,” he adds.
His marks in school suffered. With a learning
disability that affects his comprehension, Mr.
Jones failed Grade 3 twice and was put into a
special class kids called “the ding-dong class.”
But, as a gang member, he excelled. His he-
roes became pimps and gangsters.
“They drove nice cars; they were always sur-
rounded by beautiful women,” Mr. Jones says.
By the time his father signed him out of his
Grade 5 remedial class, his criminal life had
started. Mr. Jones was angry, bitter and full of
self-hatred. Unable to cope, his parents sent
him to Detroit to live with his aunt.
As a gang member there he stole, fought,
sold corn liquor to illegal gambling establish-
ments, ran money, delivered and sometimes
carried guns. His gang members became his
family and other criminals applauded his suc-
cess.
Gangs focus on kids who feel they don’t
belong, says the chief of the Durham regional
Police Service.
“Everybody wants to belong to something,”
says Chief Vern White.
In his experience, he’s found that poverty
brings a higher likelihood of social challenges.
During his years in Canada’s territories, he
found youth who were the have nots had more
social and school problems.
“I’m not suggesting that poverty breeds that,”
says Chief White, but adds he can see the con-
nection from that angle.
“I think it all comes down to the feeling of
disenfranchise,” he says.
Although he grew up in a poor area, he didn’t
realize how poor his family was because others
were as well. He said the difference can come
when the haves and have nots are integrated.
To help reduce social problems, Chief White
says community programs should be created
before people move into areas where high-
density housing is proposed, such as Picker-
ing’s Seaton lands.
“In those high-density homes, there’s a ton
of kids – they need an outlet,” he says. He adds
youth need to be kept busy so they can have a
positive life experience.
If they can be kept out of trouble between
ages 15 and 18, youth have a better chance at
staying out of it, says Chief White.
Mr. Jones says things might have been dif-
ferent for him if someone had took him under
their wing when he was age 12 or 13.
At 15, Mr. Jones was arrested for the first
time. That same year, he identified a friend’s
stabbed and beaten body.
“I saw so many people die in Detroit,” he
says. “I’m just happy I didn’t kill anyone,” he
says. Mr. Jones says his parents taught him
respect for life.
On and off, he spent six years in jail for
charges including robbery, concealing a weap-
on, disarming an officer, and assault. When
released at 26, Mr. Jones decided it was the last
time.
“And then I met this girl Jackie,” he says. They
met at a club. “We started hanging out together
and I liked her. We got married at city hall, a no
frills wedding 32 years ago.”
He got a job as a bouncer/DJ at the Drake
Hotel in Toronto. “The Drake Hotel, that’s
where the pimps and crack dealers were,” Mr.
Jones says. Being a figure of authority brought
with it attacks - once a pimp came at him with
a razor for interfering while he beat his hooker;
he was also jumped by people.
The violence took its toll on the couple. Mrs.
Jones cried at the sight of her husband return-
ing from work, bloody, clothes ripped.
While talking about Mr. Jones’ dreams of
being a disc jockey, his wife suggested he re-
turn to school and pursue them.
“She always believed in me, she still does,”
he says. Mr. Jones knew he could bring himself
up or pull her down. He enrolled at Seneca
College and in 1981, graduated with honours.
With much persistence, he eventually landed
a television show, ‘Famous Knockouts’, featur-
ing some of the greats he sparred with growing
up, including Muhammad Ali. Since then, he
has stayed in the industry and currently works
at 1010 CFRB. He’s also an author of his story,
‘Out of the Darkness’. His next book is about
fighting low self-esteem.
In 2001, Mr. Jones received the Premier’s
Award for his contributions to youth motiva-
tion. Mr. Jones says many kids impacted by
poverty don’t expect to crawl away - he shares
his story to plant seeds of hope.
“We have to stop being apathetic and start get-
ting involved,” he says.
He says kids need male guidance and many
people he’s met in jail are from single-parent
homes.
“When these kids come home and there’s
no father, their role models become 50 cent,”
he says. Music videos and black television also
teach kids to act like rappers, he says. Mr. Jones
adds more successful black people need to talk
to youth and tell them to stop acting like thugs.
“I need to tell young black women, ‘stop giv-
ing up the goodies’,” says Mr. Jones.
“These young women (who get pregnant)
end up in social housing,” he says, and adds
their kids go from prey to predators.
During a recent Durham Regional Police
youth summit, Dr. Bruce Ferguson said kids
need adults to help them find who they are.
Dr. Ferguson, director of the community
health services resource group (CHSRG) at
The Hospital for Sick Children, was the keynote
speaker at the event, held to bring local groups
together to discuss reducing youth crime, im-
proving at-risk youth support programs and
enhancing inter-agency co-operation.
In 2004, Dr. Ferguson was included in a
provincial group to look at why youths drop
out of school. They said they wanted more
understanding and added that nobody asked
them what was wrong when they became dis-
engaged in school, he says.
“Young people are more different than us
than we assume,” Dr. Ferguson says. He says
the decision-making part of their brain isn’t de-
veloped until their mid-20s; they act on emo-
tion more than reason and are more vulnerable
to addictions and mistakes.
Social relations and community involvement
help youth navigate the process of becoming
an adult and they need multiple supportive re-
lationships with adults and peers, Dr. Ferguson
says. He says youth need opportunities for self
development. Some of the elements he listed
as defining a successful youth include com-
petence, character, caring and compassion,
connections, and confidence.

Pove rty has an impact on kids
According to a report sent to Ontario boards of health, including Durham Region’s,
poverty can impact the current and future health of children. Below is some information
included in the Toronto staff report from David McKeown, medical officer of health.
•Infant mortality: 66 per cent higher in Canada’s lowest income urban areas than in its
highest in 1996.
•Obesity: 35 per cent of five-to-17 year olds in low socio-economic neighbourhoods were
overweight, according to Canadian data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children
and Youth (NLSCY), 2000/2001. The figure compared to 33 per cent in mid-low neighbours,
30 per cent in mid-high, and 24 per cent in high social-economic areas. •Emo-
tional and behavioural problems: 40 per cent of those age four to 11 from the lowest income
families were more likely to have high levels of indirect aggression, according to 1994/1995
NLSCY data, compared to 25 per cent from the highest income. They were also more likely
to display high levels of emotional-disorder anxiety and hyperactivity.
‘In these high-density homes
there’s a ton of kids - they
need an outlet.’’

Snowboarders
at Ski Lakeridge
DURHAM — For the first time
ever, snowboarders across Canada
will have the opportunity to compete
in the You Look Good Rider’s Cup.
This year marks the nation-wide
expansion of the slope-style event with
six stops across the country, including
Saturday at Ski Lakeridge.
The You Look Good Rider’s Cup is
Canada’s premier slope-style series.
It has helped foster some of Canada’s
most talented up and coming riders,
including Mat Belzile, Andrew Burns
and Kevin Konnings. Riders have been
featured in Snowboard Canada Maga-
zine as well as in this year’s popular
snowboard video releases. The series
is an ideal training ground for riders
who aspire to a career in snowboard-
ing and also for those who wish to
have a fun-filled day, in a rider-friendly
atmosphere.
“This is one contest series that
you don’t want to miss,” says Kon-
nings, the 2005 overall champion.
“This is one of the greatest of profes-
sional event series, keeping everyone
stoked on competing and keeping all
the fun that you would have just riding
with your buddies.”
The You Look Good Rider’s Cup
is a chance for people of all ages and
abilities to experience a slope-style
competition. The series also gives
Canada’s top riders the opportunity
to compete in the Coors Light Pro cat-
egory for cash prizes.

OHL squad brings
five local players,
including Ajax’s Brad
Snetsinger, to Oshawa
By Brian McNair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — For the past few
years, the despised Peterborough
Petes were leaders among OHL
teams bringing local talent back to
town to face the Oshawa Generals.
Not quite so anymore, as only
Orono’s Justin Caruana and Whit-
by’s Pat Daley suited up for the
Petes during last Sunday’s 5-1 win
for the Generals at the GM Centre.
The latest incarnation of Team
Durham is coming to Oshawa to-
night, however, as the Windsor
Spitfires boast five from these parts
on their current roster.
Being a Western Conference
team, the Spitfires make only one
annual trip to Oshawa and cer-
tainly don’t have the same kind
of rivalry with the Generals as the
Petes.
But, surely these five will be fired
up when the puck drops tonight at
7:35 p.m.
Centres Joshua Bailey of Bow-
manville and Greg Nemisz of Cour-
tice, right winger Richard Greenop
of Oshawa,
left winger
Bradley Snet-
singer of Ajax
and goalie
Andrew En-
gelage of Os-
hawa provide
the local fla-
vour.
“I know
I’m definitely
going to miss
the Civic, but I’m excited to see
the new building and get a shot at
playing in it,” says Engelage, who is
nursing groin and hamstring inju-
ries and says there’s a 60 per cent
chance he will start. “I have a lot of
people coming to watch, so I defi-
nitely want to be playing this one.”
Engelage, who spent most of last
season with the Oshawa Legion-
aires, has inherited the starter’s job
since the trade of Anthony Gua-
dagnolo to the Owen Sound At-
tack. He comes in with a 7-11-0-0
record, 3.81 goals-against average
and .889 save percentage.
The 6-foot-5, 18-year-old was
ranked fifth among North Ameri-
can NHL draft prospects by the
Central Scouting Service earlier
this month, but was not invited to
Wednesday’s CHL/NHL Top Pros-
pects Game in Quebec City.
If he does get the start tonight,
Engelage admits he will keep a
sharp eye on John Tavares, who is
red-hot of late and leads the OHL
with 44 goals.
“You definitely want to make
sure you know when he’s out on
the ice,” says Engelage. “We’re ob-
viously going to try to get the best
matchups we can against him, but
you just have to play the game,
play your best and see what hap-
pens.”
Engelage was not slated to start
last night against the Peterborough
Petes (after our deadline), hoping
an extra day of rest would have him
ready for tonight.
Bailey, who went to Windsor in
the Guadagnolo deal, had put up
3-6-9 numbers in 15 games with
the Spitfires and 14-21-35 stats in
42 games all told prior to last night.
A first-round OHL draft pick in
2005, Bailey is not eligible for the
NHL draft until next year.
Nemisz, chosen seventh overall
by the Spitfires in the 2006 draft,
had five goals and 13 points in 35
games.
Greenop, a big 17-year-old rook-
ie, had one goal, two assists and 83
penalty minutes in 22 games.
Snetsinger, one of two 19-year-
olds on the young Windsor club,
had 12-18-28 stats in 36 games.
It’s clearly a rebuilding year
for the Spitfires, who entered last
night’s game with a 13-26-1-1
record and on a six-game losing
slide.
The Generals, meantime, are
headed in the other direction, 7-1-
1-1 in their past 10 games and fifth
in the Eastern Conference with a
20-16-1-4 record.
The teams meet again in Wind-
sor next Thursday.

FROM THE NET OUTFROM THE NET OUT
Durham Region’s junior hockey blog:
catch the latest on all of the area’s junior hockey teams
from our experienced team of sports writers and editors
www.durhamregion.typepad.com/from_the_net_out/
PICKERING — Losses continue
to mount and so do the injuries for
the struggling Pickering Panthers.
Losers of their last five OHA On-
tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League contests, the Pickering ju-
niors are currently without six play-
ers.
Forwards Phil McIlhone and
Greg Payne are both day-to-day -
- McIlhone with a neck injury and
Payne with a slight concussion. For-
ward Cody
Smith (wrist,
flu), Brendan
Hann (sepa-
rated shoul-
der), and
defencemen
Kory He-
lowka (bro-
ken thumb)
and Kevin
H uinink
(sprained
wrist) are out indefinitely.
To add insult to the injuries, Pan-
thers’ head coach Pat Curcio says
possible replacements from their
affiliate junior ‘C’ squad in Uxbridge
are also injured, meaning there’s no
help on the horizon.
“We’re pretty banged up right
now,” says Curcio.
The injuries and the accompany-
ing losses have taken a toll on the
Panthers (22-18-2-0 for 46 points) as
they’ve slipped to fifth place in the
South Conference standings, four
points behind the surging Toronto
Junior Canadians and nine points
in arrears of third-place Markham.
Putting a positive spin on the five-
game losing streak, Curcio says four
of those losses were by one goal,
when you don’t include the empty-
net markers scored on the Panthers
during that span.
Last weekend, without the ser-
vices of Smith, Helowka, Huinink,
Payne and Hann, the Panthers lost
4-3 to Toronto on Friday and 3-1 to
Ajax on Sunday. On Monday, they
were downed 4-1 by the Vaughan
Vipers in Vaughan, with McIlhone
injured during the contest.
Curcio notes the goal now is to
get everyone healthy in time for the
playoffs. “It doesn’t matter where
we finish once we’re in the playoffs,”
he says.
The Panthers host the Seguin
Bruins at the Pickering Recreation
Complex tonight (Friday) at 7:30
p.m. On Sunday, the Pickering ju-
niors play in Toronto against the
Junior Canadians at the Chesswood
Arena at 7:30 p.m.

Host Durham Eclipse
draws strong field
DURHAM — The Durham Eclipse
U19 girls’ basketball team followed
the maxim, ‘Build it and they will
come’ to attract a top-flight field
to The Great Durham Shoot Out
Friday and Saturday.
The eight team Shoot Out fea-
tures a mix of perennial provincial
club basketball powerhouses and
up and coming programs seeking
to make an early season mark on
the road to the Ontario champion-
ships in early May.
Three elite teams are established
at the top of the tournament draw.
The top-seeded Sultan Prospects
from Mississauga graduated 10
players to the university ranks in
2006 but the Sultans return with
a deep and dynamic line-up as-
sembled to win an Ontario title.
The Kitchener Waterloo Light-
ning holds the second seed, a unit
that draws on strong coaching and
a deep regional talent pool.
The third-seeded South Ontario
Renegades from Niagara are anoth-
er team that is seemingly immune
to the effects of player graduation
and the Renegades will mount a
strong challenge for the Shot Out
championship.
The balance of the Shoot Out
entries are teams that possess con-
siderable tal-
ent if not vast
upper level
competitive
experience.
Any one of
the Lennox
and Adding-
ton Guards-
men, the Bur-
lington Pan-
thers and the
Scarborough
Lancers could pose a challenge, as
each team has been drawn from
strong and well organized club
programmes. The athletic and de-
termined Toronto Lords may also
surprise.
The host Eclipse are in year one
of a two-year plan to ascend to the
elite level of provincial club
basketball. The Eclipse
roster was entirely made
over for the 2006-2007 sea-
son, and with four players
who were the athletes of
the year at their respec-
tive high schools, Durham
has a roster with a bright
future. Early season Eclipse success
indicates that the Durham girls will
be tough against any opponent.
The Durham forwards are led by
Pickering’s
Rhea Pas-
cal (Notre
Dame), a
terrific re-
bounder
who has av-
eraged over
12 boards
per game
thus far. Hil-
ary Balaban
of Whitby
(All Saints) and Alyssa Tantengco
(Notre Dame) have pleasantly sur-
prised the Eclipse coaching staff
with their defensive grit.
Ruth Holland, a quick and versa-
tile forward (Peterborough CVS) is
the lone Eclipse holdover from last
season.
Hailey Swift of Oshawa (Trinity
College School) brings a strong all
round game to the point guard po-
sition. Swift is complemented by
Catherine Nobrega, a dynamic ball
handler from Ajax (Notre Dame).
The pairing of Kate Mowat (Aus-
tin) and Marta Kopun (Eastdale)
bring speed and great transitional
play to the Eclipse attack.
Emily Schilling (Port Perry), a
2006 regional high school all-star,
is a legitimate three point threat
from the wing. Vanessa Joseph
(Pickering), the fastest Eclipse play-
er, is learning the transition from
pure speed to tangible results.
The Great Durham Shoot Out
is sponsored by the Whitby law
firm Flaherty, Dow, Elliott and Mc-
Carthy, Timex, and the Durham
Basketball Association. This event
promises to be the best showcase
for girls’ basketball this year in Dur-
ham.

ELIZABETH BERNICE KROETSCH (Betty), Born:
July 24, 1925 - Kitchener, Ontario, Died: January
14, 2007 - Toronto, Ontario. A new door opened
up to Betty Kroetsch on Sunday January 14, 2007
and always loving both a challenge and a surprise
she walked through and began her next life's ad-
venture. In this world she was a dynamic and en-
ergetic woman with a generous spirit. She had a
wacky, but natural sense of humor, which often led
people to say, "Oh Betty! You are just so damn
cute!" She reached out and touched many lives.
Betty loved to dance, appearing twice at Roy
Thomson Hall during their Silver Jubilee event, was
an avid bridge player with her scores repeatedly
reported in the Toronto Star, and her thirst for
knowledge was never quenched as evidenced
when she successfully became a Master Graphoa-
nalyst (handwriting expert). She enjoyed a won-
derful career life in the Medical Profession graduat-
ing as a Registered Nurse from St. Michaels Hos-
pital in 1949. She worked for St. Mary's Hospital in
Kitchener, Ontario and the Hamilton Branch of the
Ontario Psychiatric Hospital. She moved from
nursing to Hospital Administration in the '60s at
Oakville General and started and managed the Ad-
min Department at North York General. From
there she gave her energies to the people who
called Ballycliffe Lodge in Pickering/Ajax, Ontario
home. For all her giving, it seems appropriate that
the staff at St. Michael's Hospital took great care of
her during her final days with us and we thank
them. She also was a wonderful Wife and Mother.
She married her true soul mate and she never
stopped loving him even 32 years after his own
passing. She gave life to 4 children; sons Jerry
and Stephen and daughters Mary Elizabeth and
Julianna (deceased). And she raised one of her
grandsons, Benjamin, whom she adopted. Grand-
sons Ryan and Sean will also miss her. Betty also
leaves behind her children's families and wishes
them all the best and promises to keep an eye on
all of us. Goodbye to two sisters Carol Schneider
and Patsy Turrow and their families. We will all
miss this very special woman. Services for Betty
will take place on Sunday, January 21, 2007 from
11:00 am to 1:00 pm at The Simple Alternative Fu-
neral Centre, 1057 Brock Road, Pickering Ontario
followed by a celebration of her life from 1:30 pm at
The Victorian Garden, 570 Westney Road South.
All are welcome!

In Loving Memory of a
Dear Wife, Mother, and Grandmother
who passed away January 20, 1987
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
And what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
When the day is sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
Cheer up and carry on
Each time we see your pictures
Yo u seem to smile and say
Don't cry, I'm only sleeping
We'll meet again some day
Forever loved and never forgotten

“I have worked very successfully
as a regional and store manager in
the retail industry for many years. I
earned a good salary and enjoyed
the network of people around me

work weekends and nights.
Finding this position with the
Goldbook has given me the
freedom and flexibility to attend to
my family priorities and still be
successful even though I had no
prior experience in directory sales
or advertising.
I have also found my earnings to
date to be greater than my previous
position. And the potential increase
in salary in the coming year is very
exciting.”
