Everett Buntsma, Pickering’s direc- tor of operations and emergency ser- vices, said “absolutely there was” a lot of damage from the storm on Friday. The City received 83 calls from 5:30 p.m. Friday to around 9:30 p.m. Sun- day regarding fallen trees. “We took care of what we could take care of,” he said in an interview. He explained maintenance crews were quick to respond to reports re- garding public spaces, such as road- ways and parks. The remainder were asked to contact local tree removal companies. He said crews picked up trees from 5:30 p.m. to about midnight Friday. Crews were also out Saturday from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Mr. Bunts- ma said the calls that came in Sunday night were responded to on Monday morning. He said since the City can’t really prepare for such storms, crews just have to respond to such situations as quickly as possible. In regard to feed- back from residents, he said “I haven’t heard any complaints.” After the trees are removed, the City puts them through a wood chipper and puts them back into parks. He said damage costs probably won’t be available until next week. Jeff Stewart, operations manager for Ajax, said “there was extensive tree damage across town. Crews are still out cleaning it up. “Crews worked Friday well into the night, all day Saturday and all day Sun- day,” Mr. Stewart said. “It was across town.” Most of the trees damaged were Nor- way maple and green ash, he noted. Conflicts could lead to board-wide elections: sources By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Embattled Durham Re- gional Police Association boss Tom Andrews will soon face a leadership review from members of the organiza- tion, sources say. Some sources say a call for across- the-board elections of association ex- ecutives and board members could come as early as this summer. The move is being contemplated fol- lowing months of internal strife be- tween Mr. Andrews and his two top officers and board members who ob- ject to the firebrand president’s style, sources said. The ugly spat has spilled over into the public, with members of the as- sociation speaking -- on the record and on condition of anonymity -- of their concerns about the controversial president and his management style. “We have what appears to be an executive not listening to and taking direction from the board,” said Detec- tive Larry Nobbs, one of three directors who recently resigned from the board. “Ultimately the members will sit as judge.” Another insider said association members are fed up with the acrimony that’s been roiling the organization. A movement is afoot to call for a new election to be held for all 11 positions on the board, including president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer and eight directors. Mr. Andrews was elected last fall to a three-year term. “They want a complete election -- across the board,” said the cop, speak- ing on condition of anonymity. “The only way to put it to bed is for these guys to be accountable.” For his part, Mr. Andrews is pre- senting an optimistic front, saying the differences around the directors’ table have been addressed and that peace is imminent. “We’re rounding the corner,” he said Monday. “We’re moving ahead. I won’t be negative and I won’t air dirty laun- dry,” Mr. Andrews said. The showdown, if it comes, could be the culmination of an internal dis- pute that has rocked the association Police association boss may face vote call [ Briefly ] Submachine gun, handguns seized in high-risk traffic stop DURHAM — A submachine gun capable of firing dozens of rounds per second was seized when officers with Durham’s Gang Enforcement Unit made a high- risk takedown Friday afternoon in Whitby. The machine gun, a Mac 12 submachine gun with a silencer and three ammunition magazines, was among four weapons seized when Durham cops, working in conjunction with the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit, stopped an Oshawa man’s car around 3 p.m. Friday. Also seized were a .32 calibre revolver and two semi-automatic pistols, police said. The machine gun is capable of firing 32 rounds in less than three seconds, police said. Police believe the weapons had recently been brought into the country from the U.S. Ronald Keith McKenzie, 31, of Waverly Street North in Oshawa, is charged with 24 weapons of- fences and possession of mari- juana.

Critics like Det. Nobbs claim the new president has alienated board members with a blunt, confrontational style, and have questioned some of the actions taken by Mr. Andrews and the other executive members, vice-presi- dent Dave Robinson and secretary- treasurer Mike Glennie. The anonymous source said Mr. An- drews’s approach to his job has so far hindered him from performing as he is capable of doing. “Tom Andrews has the potential to be the best president ever,” he said. “He has the knowledge; he has the drive. He just doesn’t see the big pic- ture about what his role is.” In March, Det. Nobbs called for an investigation of the executive, alleg- ing: • That Mr. Andrews, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Glennie had accessed e-mails sent among directors. The president countered in a memo to members that while the surveillance occurred there was no wrongdoing. The RCMP has been called in to investigate. • That the executive has not per- formed duties as directed by the board of directors, and • That Mr. Andrews put the asso- ciation at risk by taking a teenaged theft suspect -- the youth stole Mr. Andrews’s briefcase from his vehicle while it was parked at a Pickering po- lice station late last year -- to the Lind- say jail on Christmas Day. Criticism of that Christmas Day trip is irksome to Mr. Andrews, who obtained permission from the young man’s parents to undertake the “scared straight” type of initiative, which he said is the kind of diversion called for under the Youth Criminal Justice Act for first-time youthful offenders. The young man saw the sprawling insti- tution and chatted with an offender doing “dead time” while awaiting sen- tencing. “I can’t understand that,” Mr. An- drews said of the criticism. “I feel good about what I did.” But others say the exercise, which was discouraged by DRP brass, was reckless. “The president can’t do what he did,” said one member. “It’s not appro- priate. “There’s a huge potential liability placed on the association,” Mr. Nobbs concurred. “It never came to the board for ap- proval; it’s not within the mandate of the president.” Ultimately the panel of three po- lice association members assigned to review the charges put forth by Det. Nobbs returned a report questioning the constitutionality of the investiga- tion they’d been asked to undertake and urged the executive and directors to patch things up. “Every day this matter lingers on you are not only dragging down the repu- tation of our association, but also the reputation and morale of every officer and civilian,” they said in their report. In a posting on the DRPA website several weeks ago Mr. Andrews called the charges levelled by Det. Nobbs “without merit” and vexatious, char- acterizing them as “simply a continu- ation of the obstructionist activities plaguing the board.” The insider said that the president’s dismissal of the charges provides in- sight into the very essence of the trou- bles the association is facing. “That is bulls---. It has nothing to do with anything,” the source said. “It’s not about personalities. It’s per- formance-based stuff.” Mr. Andrews said he and the re- maining directors have made a com- mitment to move forward, putting past conflicts behind them and focusing on the board’s business -- the first priority being to secure a collective agreement for their members. “I have a job to do,” he said. “With any change comes growth and with any change comes friction.” The three directors who have re- signed will be replaced when regular board elections occur in October, Mr. Andrews said. The secretary-treasur- er and a civilian director will also be elected by the membership. But Mr. Andrews said he would re- spect any duly passed resolution from the membership calling for board- wide elections. “I’d recognize anything the mem- bership wants,” he said. “I work for the membership. I take direction from the membership.” Some of those members, like Det. Nobbs, are unequivocal about what needs to be done: “The executive needs to be removed,” he said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

Residents with trees damaged on their property can call a tree service company listed in the Yellow Pages, he said. Mr. Stewart added residents should ensure the company is properly in- sured. “There’s lots of good companies in the Yellow Pages.” For residents with brush, they can leave it at the curb and it will be picked up by the Town. However, they have to call the Town first, Mr. Stewart stated. Call 905-683-2951 by Friday and crews will come and collect the brush. He added crews won’t be driving around looking for brush and that the crews won’t pick up logs, just brush.

Following a one-week strike by crane and heavy equipment op- erators, the site is now in the grips of another labour disruption. Members of the Labourers Inter- national Union of North America -- which represents 25,000 work- ers in Ontario’s Industrial, Com- mercial and Institutional (ICI) construction sector -- walked off the job last Monday after nego- tiations with the employer bar- gaining agency failed to produce a new collective agreement. The strike has shut down con- struction at the site on the cor- ner of Mary and Bond streets in downtown Oshawa, pushing completion of the already-de- layed courthouse back even fur- ther. According to government of- ficials, however, the courthouse site is currently being prepped for the start of construction. “The team is already on site,” said Jennifer Sclisizzi, the com- munications adviser for Infra- structure Ontario, the govern- ment agency that is overseeing the construction of the 350,000 square-foot facility. She said construction of the courthouse is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. An official ground-breaking ceremony was originally sched- uled to take place two weeks ago, but was cancelled due to sched- uling conflicts of the various dig- nitaries who wished to attend, she added. “The event is being resched- uled for some time at the end of this month,” she said. But Calvin Bolger, a local repre- sentative of the Labourers union, said the workers are prepared to stay on strike as long as it takes to get a new agreement. “We deserve a fair contract,” he said. “But we want to go back to the bargaining table. We are ready to go back to negotiations.” The labour strife is just the lat- est roadblock in the long saga to build a consolidated court- house in the region. The project has faced numerous delays since it was originally announced more than 12 years ago by then-pre- mier Bob Rae. After years of reviews, the final decision to house the court in Oshawa was made back in De- cember 2005, with the City prom- ising an environmental cleanup of the site that was once used for industrial purposes. City Manager Bob Duignan said the City completed the re- mediation process -- to rid the soil of a potentially dangerous substance called trichloroeth- ylene -- to the Province’s satis- faction in late May and the site has now been turned over to the contractor. “We are done,” Mr. Duignan said. “We met our obli- gations in all the cleanup work.” Despite missing the original October 2006 cleanup deadline -- which carried with it a penalty for the City -- Mr. Duignan says he does not expect Oshawa to be on the hook for any additional costs. “It took a little longer to com- plete,” he said. “But that was pro- vided for under the contract.” The final cost of the courthouse has not yet been announced. Mr. Duignan says any recent delays at the construction site are caused by labour disruptions and “had nothing to do with us.” - with files from Jillian Follert Just six weeks from coming home, Bowmanville man becomes 57th Canadian killed By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Trooper Darryl Caswell should have come home from Afghanistan on his 26th birthday, next month. But, instead of getting ready for a happy homecoming, his family is now preparing for his funeral. The soldier, a former Bowman- ville High School student who joined the military in 2004, was killed Monday about 40 kilome- tres north of Kandahar City, when a roadside bomb detonated near the vehicle in which he was trav- elling. Two other soldiers suffered non-life threatening injuries from the blast. His mom knew what happened as soon as she got home Mon- day. “The vehicle was in my drive- way,” said Darlene Cushman. “I knew as soon as I saw the Canadian flags on the uniforms what they were going to tell me.” Trooper Caswell was a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons based at Petawawa. He was just six weeks shy of completing his six-month stint over- seas, said his uncle, Ken Nesbitt, who was among the family and friends gathered at the home of the trooper’s father in Bowman- ville Tuesday. The entire family, including his mother, father and both of his step-parents, came outside the tidy home which was adorned with yellow ribbon posters and a sign stating support for the troops, to face the media gath- ered out front. “He had a way of bringing us all together,” said Ms. Cushman, who wore a necklace with a picture of her son lasered into it. Trooper Caswell was part of a Combat Lo- gistics Patrol convoy, conducting a resup- ply mission for Cana- dian troops based at a base in Kahkrez when he was killed. “I was really proud of him,” said younger brother Logan, who turned 12 the day his brother died. “I’m sure God will always take care of him... I’ll always look up to him.” His dad, Paul, remembers his son as being “not too big a guy, but he made up for it in might.” Described by his sister, Jolene, as a “surprisingly good singer” and a “very consistent person,” Trooper Caswell’s sense of hu- mour was also recalled. “He had a gnome that he dressed up in army clothes” who travelled everywhere with him, said Logan. Trooper Caswell attended a number of area schools, includ- ing Waverley and Newcastle. He also lived in Whitby for a time. “He’s a son every mother would have loved to have,” said stepdad, Chris Walsh. Stepmom Christine agreed. “He said he loved Canada. He did us all proud,” she said. “He was a good kid.” His mom joked the soldier was born weighing over 10 lbs., with a full head of hair and “came out doing push-ups.” He grew up into a “loving honest person, not afraid of hard work,” she added, tears running down her face. “I’d so love to hold my son again, but I know he loved what he was doing,” said his mother. Funeral arrangements were not known at press time. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY pickeringtowncentre.com Visit Mastermind Toys in Centre Court this Saturday, June 16th from 11am to 3pm.

The new legislation presented late last week requires schools with any part built before 1990 to do daily drinking water flushes, ac- cording to a memorandum pre- sented to the Durham Catholic District School Board at its June 11 meeting. Schools constructed after 1989 have to be tested weekly. An- nual samples and testing for lead must also be done in all schools and records be kept for at least six years. According to a staff report, flushing the plumbing system in- cludes running the cold water for five minutes; turning the cold on at every tap used for drinking or food preparation for at least 10 seconds; and recording the date and time of the flush as well as the name of per- son who performed it on the Daily Flushing of School Water Systems sheet. Bangalore biotechnology company signs agreement with college and university By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Post-secondary schools in Durham have teamed up with an India biotechnology company to research nutraceuticals - food and natural supplements with health ben- efits. Following the premier’s trip to India this January, Avesthagen, a Banga- lore-based company, has signed agreements with Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology to develop research- based initiatives. “It’s very exciting especially for the college,” said Ryan O’Grady, Durham College’s director of external rela- tions. Talking on his cellphone from India, Mr. O’Grady was visiting the country for a week to work with Durham Col- lege’s contacts there about projects they’ll be working on together. Mr. O’Grady said nutraceuticals are plant-based extracts, medicines holis- tic in style – not synthetic. “Their work addresses more chron- ic illness,” said Mr. O’Grady, such as diabetes, arthritis, and stomach prob- lems including acid reflux. Avesthagen’s work also includes prebiotic and probiotic products added to foods and with clients such as Danone and Nestle, the company is breaking into European markets, said Mr. O’Grady. Projects students from Durham College’s food and pharmaceutical program could assist with include helping Avesthagen maintain taste and texture in foods that have been altered for health benefits. The partnership gives the school an opportunity to work with an inter- national company on something that helps them at home, said Mr. O’Grady. The research would be done through Durham College’s school of applied science at its Oshawa campus. Advantages the partnership brings to Durham College include present- ing faculty and students with real- world challenges; getting to work with a biotech company; and the school’s reputation, especially in India. “It’s a great lead-in for us in the India market,” said Mr. O’Grady. More details of specific projects will be released within the next several weeks, said Mr. O’Grady. Dr. William Smith, dean of the fac- ulty of science at UOIT, attended the premier’s trip along with Durham Col- lege president, Leah Myers. While there, they visited some uni- versities and companies to look at collaborations that could be created, such as student and faculty exchang- es, he said, and added they’re still following up on discussions. Currently, India has the fourth larg- est economy in the world and is ex- pected to exceed that of the U.S. by 2050 if its current growth continues, said Mr. Smith. The research UOIT would be doing for Avesthagen is related to nutra- ceuticals and testing their nutrition and biological properties. There are several projects the school is look- ing at including joint research done by students in its applied bioscience graduate program, which starts this fall. The partnership helps provide UOIT with a broader scope of contacts around the world, said Mr. Smith. “This fits with UOIT’s general mis- sion to be linked with the outside world,” said Mr. Smith. Working with international compa- nies also provides research funding for UOIT, he added.

An international event, June 11 to 17 represents Men’s Health Aware- ness Week and was recognized by Durham Region once again this year. Supported by the Toronto Men’s Health Network (TMHN), serving the Greater Toronto Area, includ- ing Durham, the week is meant to encourage everyone to reflect on the importance of health among males of all ages. The purpose is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems, encouraging men to seek regular medical advice in order to prevent or detect issues in early stages. The 2004 Chief Medical Officer of Health Report called Healthy Weights, Healthy Lives, shows 57 per cent of men are overweight com- pared to 42 per cent of women, stat- ing obesity among men increases with income. Also, Cancer Care Ontario predicts nearly 20,000 new cases of prostate cancer by 2016. For more information on men’s health issues visit www.menshealth- week.org or call the TMHN at 416- 410-9670.

Students paid a fee to participate and de- cided to donate the proceeds to the Cancer Society. Canteen at Cedar Park targetted AJAX — Five males were arrested following quick work by Durham Re- gional Police. Just before 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 10, uniformed officers with 19 Divi- sion (Ajax-Pickering) were called to the area of Cedar Park, in the Harwood Avenue and Hwy. 401 area, after a 911 call about males breaking into the can- teen at the park. Upon arriving, the officers saw males trying to break into the snack bar. The males fled, but were found a short dis- tance away and arrested. A crow bar, a tire-iron, and a rubber mallet were found outside the can- teen. The males range in age from 15 to 19 and have been charged with break and enter with intent and possession of break-in instruments. They were charged and released. Anyone with any information about this or similar incidents is asked to call the 19 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-683-9100, ext. 2524. Anonymous tips can also be made to the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), and tipsters could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Five males arrested for break and enter DURHAM — For almost $1 million, the Durham Catholic school board has found a contractor for its education centre alterations. J.J. McGuire General Contractors re- ceived the education centre contract during the board’s May 28 meeting. Ac- cording to a report, the bid of $892,000, was $31,500 less than budgeted by the board. Bids for the project were re- ceived from four pre-qualified con- tractors, with J.J. McGuire coming in the lowest. The cost excludes GST and is subject to the issuance of a building permit. Contractor picked for Catholic Education Centre submitted photo Light for a new life Zahra’s School of Bellydance recently purchased six new baby lights for the emergency department of the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wildlife homeless after site bulldozed To the editor: Re: ‘Hundreds of trees cut down to make way for water plant ex- pansion’, May 23 article. My son and I were in the habit for many years of walking along the lakefront at Rotary Park to the nuclear station, taking in the three back roads, at 6 a.m. every morning, winter, spring, sum- mer and fall. Last year, we were delighted to watch the deer pop- ulation there increase. This past winter and spring we saw them every morning and they would recognize us and not run away. We have many close-up photos of these little creatures and we thought they were lovely. The trees were lovely, the vari- ety of birds increased every year. Many bird watchers were in the habit of watching the spring mi- gration. Also the rabbits, squir- rels and one coyote, which ate one of the deer last winter. What horror, watching the bulldozers destroy everything until not a blade of grass re- mained. The rabbits and their small babies running around, not knowing where to go. The squirrels also, all their nesting holes gone. The birds, all dis- appearing to find other nesting places. The most horrific sight was watching the deer not know- ing where to go. All their cover gone and munching at bits of grass along the side of the one remaining road. I wish I could transport these beautiful crea- tures to my cottage property, safe from all the uncaring officialdom that caused the destruction of their habitat. I live in a high-rise condo near the lake and every morning I look out and am reminded when I see the big hole in the treeline along the lake. My son and I cannot now walk along this desecrated, anger-inducing former beauty spot. It is too painful. Mavis Nash Rosetti Ajax Pickering’s a great place to live To the editor: As an 82-year old veteran I just had to write this letter in praise of our Pickering politicians, etc. Be- fore I came to Pickering we did not see much of our politicians, only at election time. But, here we see them all the time, helping the veterans, seniors and children. Sunday was our D-Day Parade and there they were: Dave Ryan our mayor; MP Dan McTeague; MPP Wayne Arthurs; Councillor Doug Dickerson and his lovely wife: Councillor David Pickles and Councillor Rick Johnson. They came rain or shine. From the parade off to the Pickering Air Cadet Awards then to the Seniors Big Band Dance. All year they were always there. There are others who try to be there: MP Mark Holland, etc. Great show you guys, you’re a credit to Pickering. You’re there for all of us. It’s a great place to live. And, of course, we have a great local paper that covers all. Thank you all, live long. Kenny Allen Pickering Thief with a conscience To the editor: The other day I had a rather distressing experience: some- body stole my bike right off my property. The next morning while doing stationary exercises facing the window in my living room I noticed a young boy on a bike turning quickly into my drive- way. Curious about who might be wanting to pay me a visit this early in the morning I rushed to the side door, unlocked it and went outside. What I was presented with nearly floored me. There, lean- ing against the house in exactly the same way I last saw it, stood my bike. The youngster who had brought it back, however, had vanished in a flash, leaving me to merely speculate what may have prompted him to change his mind. Honestly, even in this day and age small wonders never seem to cease.

IN THE COMMUNITY They’ll do anything to get your business /4& I ’m wondering if maybe af- finity programs have got- ten a little out of hand. The startling pervasiveness of these points systems was driven home to me the other day as I sat down to breakfast and realized I could now get Air Miles for my orange juice. I think that bears repeating; Air Miles for my orange juice. The people who run these affinity programs are not dum- mies. They have clued in to the fact that way before love, se- curity or even peace of mind, human beings crave free stuff. Or at least the pretence of free stuff. Because anyone with Grade 2 math can tell you that a free flight to Nassau actually costs you $50,000 in gasoline. Or that free deep-fryer had a reality ticket of $10,000 worth of gro- ceries. Still, it feels good to be able to go the catalogue and pick out something you don’t really need, something frivolous and fun, and have them send it right to your house. Who doesn’t love getting presents in the mail? Like I say, they know this, and they know there is immense sell- ing power in there. Competition for your dollar is high so can you blame manufacturers for trying anything to get you to choose their automobile, their realtor, their orange juice over the other guys? It’s insidious, but it works. And I wonder where else it can go? Can you imagine, for instance, getting affinity points for buying a particular make of prophylac- tic? “Syd, I told you, I’ve got a headache.” “Come on, Barbara, two more times and we can get that new barbecue!” Or medical procedures? “But Mr. Crone, I just scoped you last week.” “Listen Doc, do a guy a favour. I’m one polyp away from a digital camera.” Why not cigarettes? We already get points for buying booze. The way people smoke and throw back liquor, vacation destina- tions the world over would be packed with free-flying emphy- semic drunks. Or how about prostitution? If you were a business-minded lady would you think twice about a little corporate affiliation? “Don’t think of it as two-hun- dred bucks, Sweetpants... think of it as a new set of Callaways.” I’m telling you, there’s method in this madness. The call of free stuff is over- whelming to the human psyche. It’s useless to fight these affinity programs. They will continue to grow and I will continue to be amazed and affronted by adver- tising and sell jobs on everything from orange juice to phone bills to hemorrhoid cream. The trick will be to use our free- bie jonesing to make the world a better place, not just a place with more deep-fryers. And indeed it is already happening. For ex- ample, you can now get a credit card in the States called the Om card. Every purchase earns you points that can be redeemed for things like saved acres of rainfor- est, classrooms and educational supplies in developing countries. Even yoga mats. But why not take this a step further? How many fugitives and suspects do you think would be turned in if people realized they could get a new flat-screen TV with the right amount of stool- pigeon points? Police stations would be crammed with people redeem- ing info for merchandise. Un- witnessed crime would disap- pear overnight. After all, a crook can only run so far when he’s got a price on his head... or a deep- fryer. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Those few words of advice were recently uttered by Mari- Lynn Cordahi, a member of the Durham Region accessibil- ity advisory committee when she appeared before the Region’s finance and administration committee late last month. Ms. Cordahi’s statement is meant to convey the desire of those living with a disability to be treated the same way as everyone else. And in a society where all the required measures under the Ontar- ians with Disabilities Act are followed, that should happen. Unfortunately, while great strides have been made in public and private spaces over the past few decades, we aren’t quite there yet. Much has been done to ensure sidewalks and street crossings are easy to navigate and handrails and ramps are commonplace as are handicapped parking spaces and accessible washrooms. But Ms. Cordahi was clear in speaking to the committee that much needs to be done in areas of public education and everyday attitudes toward the disabled. The Region’s accessibility advisory committee has been working on raising awareness and plans to create an awards program that would honour those people and businesses that have made a spe- cial effort to improve accessibility. Another major initiative would be to try to improve accessible transit services. As Ms. Cordahi explained to the committee, it can take as much as a 14-day advance booking to get specialized transit for non-medical trips. That’s just part of the problem. Those who have mobility issues may find themselves in locations where they may not be able to get their wheelchair or scooter through a corridor or have problems with steps or ledges. As more buildings become accessible-friendly the problem is lessening but there is still a need for education and for the word to get out to all citizens about the issue. As demographics have shown for years, our society is an aging one and the number of seniors needing more accessible spaces will grow rapidly in the coming decades. To get where we need to go, we all have to listen to those voices crying out for attention.

Felgemacher, C.P.P., CPPO, CPPB, C.P.M., CMM III Manager, Supply & Services cityofpickering.com The City of Pickering has become aware of an outbreak of ash anthracnose on our green ash in our urban forest. This tree is quite common on the boulevards and in our parks. The main symptom of this disease is the dropping of leaves. This defoliation causes property owners a great deal of concern but chemical treatment is not recommended. Affected trees usually put out a second flush of leaves and make up for lost time over the rest of the growing season. Raking and disposing of infected leaves and twigs should help reduce infection the following year. If you have any questions, please call Scott McKay at 905.420.4660 ext. 5235.

PAGE A7 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 13, 2007 P City receives significant donation for Frenchman’s Bay By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A grant from the provincial government will help en- hance Pickering’s tourism industry, according to Pickering-Ajax-Ux- bridge MPP Wayne Arthurs. “The provincial government rec- ognizes the tourism pos- sibilities in Pickering,” Mr. Arthurs said in an inter- view. That’s why the provin- cial government, on behalf of the Ministry of Tourism, recently presented the City and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with a $300,000 grant to conduct an environmen- tal assessment and enhance the en- trance into Frenchman’s Bay. “To have a viable functioning bay is important for tourism and local use,” Mr. Arthurs said. Mayor Dave Ryan believes Pickering has many tourism pos- sibilities, and that Frenchman’s Bay is on its way to becoming Pickering’s playground in many ways. For ex- ample, the Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club and Millennium Square add to the waterfront’s vibrancy. But, at the moment, he explained the channel from the bay to the lake gets so choppy that “many maps identify the entrance as hazardous.” He said the entrance and exit are narrow and shallow. It’s not only a nuisance for local boaters, he ex- plained, but “it detracts from our tourist opportunities.” Mr. Arthurs agreed, saying that’s the reason the entry way to the bay needs an environmental assess- ment. “It’s treacherous coming in and out of the bay and people from other places won’t even venture into the bay sometimes,” he said. “It’ll take substantive work to make a substantial entry way into the bay.” Therefore, Mayor Ryan said he’s very pleased with the grant, and even more so with the fact the provin- cial government realizes Pickering’s tourism potential. “This is the next positive step in the rehabilitation of the bay,” he said in an interview. The idea, he explained, is to build a wall into the lake on the east side of the channel to minimize the silting that occurs. The added attraction of the safe channel, he explained, will help stimulate business activity for bay businesses. “Looking to the future, French- man’s Bay will regain its prominence within Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes Region through a safe and properly designed harbour entrance,” said TRCA chairwoman Gerri Lynn O’Connor in a press release. Mr. Arthurs believes people are at- tracted to waterfronts. He said during his time with the City, a lot of time and energy have gone into developing its waterfront, and he’s anxious to see the envi- ronmental assessment and harbour entrance.

For more on this story By Jason Chamberlain DURHAM — Hundreds of people hit the pavement to make cancer history on Sunday. The annual Walk for a Cure event, held for the first time in Oshawa, was organized by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) to raise money and awareness for blood cancer research. The walk, which raised more than $80,000, began at the Oshawa Valley Botanical Garden and walkers were treated to a live band, fire eaters, jugglers, bal- loon makers as well as free food and drinks. And all of it was free. “Our proceeds go to blood cancer research,” said Tara Wal- ton, executive director of Leu- kemia Fighters, the arm of the UFCW that organized the walk. “It’s been a great event so far, the community has really supported it. And we’ve had a lot of survi- vors come out, which is great to see.” One of those survivors was Tara’s sister, Shannon, who was also on hand to enjoy the walk. “I had a bone marrow trans- plant about two years ago and we’re trying to raise awareness for people to be bone marrow donors and to raise awareness of blood cancers,” she said. “People can help find a cure. Canadian researchers have made huge breakthroughs in all kinds of can- cer because of walks like this.” Aside from raising money to help fund continuing research into the diseases, the walk was also designed to foster a sense of community among all those whose lives have been touched by cancer. As Shannon can attest, it’s im- portant not to feel isolated when dealing with an illness. “Even though this is a really deadly dis- ease that can strike anybody at any time, there’s somebody there to support you. There is some- body to talk to and there is help. When they’ve got the community backing them, there’s no reason somebody can’t survive even if it seems like their darkest hour.” PAGE A9 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 13, 2007 A/P ADULT DAY SCHOOL REGISTER NOW FOR SEPTEMBER • WE’RE HERE TO HELP ADULTS 18 AND OLDER ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS • WE PROVIDE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT AND EXPERIENCED TEACHERS • WE PROVIDE CLASS OPTIONS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE • OUR COURSES HAVE NO TUITION FEES Registration and certifi cation fees may apply.

Durham Centre 905 619-1647 PAGE A10 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 13, 2007A/P YWCA gets hand from community Car wash raises funds for emergency hostel By Jason Chamberlain DURHAM — The Kingsway Inn showed its support for the commu- nity on Saturday. The inn hosted a car wash to raise money for the YWCA in support of the organization’s drive to reopen its emergency hostel for homeless women, which has been closed since April due to insufficient funding. Members of the YWCA as well as inn employees were on hand to assist with the car wash and to support the cause. “It sends shivers down my spine to know there’s no place for women to go that are in need,” said Erin Taylor, head housekeeper of the inn and former resident of the hostel. “I stayed there when I was pregnant with my youngest son five years ago and I can’t imagine what I would have done if there had been no place for me to go at that point.” The hostel was closed because the YWCA could not continue to oper- ate it with the funds it was receiving from the government. The Region is now conducting its own investiga- tion into the situation and to how much money is needed to reopen the shelter. Eva Martin Blythe, director of the YWCA, is confident the shelter will reopen when funding is increased. “What’s most important is get- ting the government to recognize that the funding they provide is just not enough. It’s a question of when. We simply cannot reopen the doors with the same amount of funding in good conscience, knowing that the possibility exists we’d have to close again.” Fundraising efforts like the car wash, which illustrate community support for the cause, is greatly ap- preciated by the YWCA. “Projects like this are really impor- tant. They build community spirit and community awareness and they raise funds as well. “They build partnerships with other people in the community and we welcome that kind of support,” said Mrs. Blythe. Ms. Taylor spearheaded the proj- ect. “Erin indicated that she worked for Kingsway and that they were in- terested in supporting us,” said Mrs. Blythe. “They’re on a high-traffic street, the weather’s getting warmer and peoples’ cars are dirty, so what better way to raise awareness and a little bit of money than to have a car wash.” There’s more work to be done to reopen the shelter, but Ms. Taylor was happy to contribute. “If you didn’t get a chance to come out today and help us, start your own event. “Together we can make it happen for them.” Covering the Pickering news scene kcalis@durhamregion.comREPORTER KRISTEN CALIS SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com Sports briefs JUNE 13, 2007 [ Basketball ] Pickering High offers summer program AJAX — Pickering High School will run two basketball programs this summer for boys and girls in Grades 6 through 12.

[ Gymnastics ] Whiz Kids’ boys shine at Vaughan Invitational meet DURHAM — Boys from the Ajax- based Durham Whiz Kids Gymnastics Academy soared to solid results at the 2007 Vaughan Gymnastics Invitational recently.

[ Soccer ] Pickering Cougars claw foes for Oshawa title ‘ PICKERING — The Pickering Cou- gars boys’ under-13 regional Premier soccer team made its first tournament outing a winning one in Oshawa re- cently. The 20-team under-13 division was split between Premier and regional di- vision teams, with the Cougars playing in the Premier category. Pickering took a perfect record into the final, where they clawed the Wexford Extreme 6-2 for the champi- onship. In the qualifying round, the Cou- gars won all of their matches. They won Game 1 against Glen Shields 4-0, the second game against Belleville 8- 0 and Game 3 against Darlington 9-1. They received a bye into the final as Goulbourn defaulted. The Cougars outscored their opponents 27-3 in four tournament games. Cougars’ team members are Fraser Aird, Keishon Alcindor, Caylan Ambursley, Matthew Angelevski, Nicho- las Axhorn, Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Myles Campbell, Bruce Cullen, Chris Funke, Jalen Griffiths, Justin Haywood, Daniel Massa, Raphael Reynolds, Shane Satar, Sean Smith and Rafiq Suleman. Mike Reynolds coaches the team, assisted by Kevin Forde. The manager is Steve Boylan. The boys played in the Ontario Indoor Soccer league (OISL) this win- ter and won the league with an 8-2-1 record. The Cougars also won the presti- gious Ontario Indoor Soccer Tourna- ment in February. Trojans run to relay gold, record at OFSAA meet Pickering High athletes earn three team titles at Ottawa showcase By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — It was a year in the making, but commitment and training paid off in a record-breaking feat for four Pickering High School students at the provincial track and field championships in Ot- tawa. The Ontario Federation of School Ath- letic Associations (OFSAA) Track and Field Championship was hosted at the Terry Fox Stadium in Ottawa from June 7 to 10, with more than 500 schools from across the province sending more than 2,500 elite athletes. Once again, the Pickering High Tro- jans track and field team was a dominant force in Ontario, with the 27-member Trojans’ contingent earning three OFSAA team titles, including a first-ever overall girls’ title. Pickering High midget girls also won their team division team title and the boys and girls combined for the overall co-ed team title with 108 points. Leading the way was the Trojans’ midget girls’ 4-x-100-metre relay team of Katherine Lawrence, Shanyce Shaw, Christine Exeter and Katherine Law- rence that earned gold in a time of 50.33 seconds, eclipsing Northern CIVS, which finished second in 52.15. The Trojans’ quartet also established a new OFSAA record, set while winning the preliminary heat in 49.82 seconds, shattering the old mark of 51.06 set in 2004 by the Resur- rection Catholic Secondary School relay team of Kitchener. Pickering High track and field head coach Cyril Sahadath notes the quest for OFSAA gold for the four members of the midget girls’ relay team began last July during a summer camp run by Sahadath. He impressed upon them that provincial gold was theirs if they followed his train- ing regimen. “Those girls have worked very hard. Last July at a summer camp I told them it takes a year to do this and that they were going to win an OFSAA title. They just continued to work hard and that’s the result,” says Sahadath. Sahadath notes the Pickering High 4- x-100-metre midget girls’ relay team that captured gold in the event at OFSAA last year were poised to win at the junior level this year, but the team of Marissa Smith, Adriana Allen, Melody Lee and Galenell Sinclair were disqualified at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championship in Oshawa. “They should have won (OFSAA) this year, but it was a technical call. It could have been disputed, but that’s the way it is,” he says. Overall, Sahadath says his athletes performed to a high level at OFSAA, owing to the fact they’ve received a lot of experience competing at big meets this season. “Going to OFSAA was not a big thing for our kids. We’ve been there, done that and know what we had to do. For our Grade 9s the atmosphere was a little dif- ferent with 10,000 people in the stands. But, it didn’t really bother them. It has nothing to do with cockiness, but more to do with being familiar with what’s going on,” says Sahadath. The midget girls’ relay team wasn’t the only gold medallist from Pickering High. The midget boys’ 4-x-100-metre relay team of Spenser Stewart, Marley Pat- terson, Izzy Ogieva and Preston Farrell struck gold in a time of 45.98 seconds, ahead of second-place St. Michael’s High School. Marissa Smith also ran to gold in the junior girls’ 80-metre hurdles in 12.06 seconds. She finished third in the pre- liminary heat in 12.45 seconds. Other Pickering High results: • Katherine Lawrence: silver, midget girls’ 80-metre hurdles; • Christine Exeter: bronze, midget girls’ 80-metre hurdles; fourth, 100 metres; • Adriana Allen: silver, junior girls’ 200 metres; bronze, 100 metres; • Jessica Caterini: sixth, senior girls’ 100- metre hurdles; • Senior girls’ 4-x-100-metre relay team: fourth, Jenna-Lynn Higgins, Katherine Lawrence, Adriana Allen, Jessica Cater- ini; • Senior girls’ 4-x-400-metre relay: fifth, Marissa Smith, Adriana Allen, Jenna- Lynn Higgins, Jessica Caterini; • Preston Farrell: third, midget boys’ 100- metre hurdles; • Julian Patchett: fourth, midget boys’ 800 metres; • Brandon Wilson: fifth, junior boys’ 100- metre hurdles; • MacKenzie Moseley: sixth, junior boys’ 300-metre hurdles; • Caileb Downey-Brown: seventh, junior boys’ long jump; • Anthony Lue: bronze, senior boys’ 110- metre hurdles; • Andrew Spence: seventh, senior boys’ 200 metres; • Senior boys’ 4-x-400-metre relay: fourth, Brandon Wilson, Anthony Lue, Andrew Spence, Darryl Thomas.

Crumbles again in loss to Brooklin Merchants By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The battle of Durham senior ‘B’ lacrosse teams once again went to the Brooklinites. The Brooklin Merchants trounced an under-manned Ajax-Pickering Rock 17-11 in OLA senior ‘B’ regular-season action at the Luther Vipond Memo- rial Arena on Saturday night. For the Merchants, it was the third consecutive victory over the Rock this season, thus taking the season series with one more game to go. For the Rock, their misery continues, chalking up their sixth loss in a row -- their longest losing streak in club history. Ajax-Pickering dressed 16 play- ers and had one goaltender, backup- turned-starter Dave Power, available for Saturday’s clash. To add insult to injury, Sean Felstead and Ron Reed didn’t finish the game, due to injuries. A downcast Rock head coach Paul St. John tried to look on the bright side of another loss to the Rock’s chief rival. “When it rains it pours,” says St. John. “Brooklin was on a bit of a slide and they played us well. It was the third time they’ve beaten us this year. I thought our guys played well; I was happy with the effort. Brooklin was firing on all cyl- inders. To give up 17 goals was tough, especially since our ‘D’ has been good all year long.” The Rock proved to be just the tonic for the Merchants, who came into Sat- urday’s game having lost their last three league contests. Merchants’ head coach Steve McCarthy says his players were determined, in a manner of speaking, to kick the Rock when they were down. “We knew they had been struggling and they didn’t have a full lineup,” says McCarthy. “We felt we had an oppor- tunity, being the home team, to get a win and we had to take advantage of it when they’re not at full strength. “We had lost our last three and we hadn’t been playing consistently for a full 60 minutes. When we had a let- down it resulted in the ball being in the back of our net. Although we gave up some early goals (Saturday night), I thought we were able to rebound and get momentum.” The Brooklin shooters also took full advantage of little-used Rock goalkeep- er Power, who subbed for regular start- er Mike Miron, unavailable due to work commitments. To be fair, Power re- ceived little or no help from his defence in the contest, as Merchants’ shooters were mostly left untouched. In a tightly played first period, the Merchants struck for two goals within the first three minutes of play. Brooklin led 5-3 in the opening frame. Leading 11-7 at the end of the second period, the Rock got back to within two goals with Mike Daley’s solo effort bringing the score to 11-9 early in the third pe- riod. The Merchants, however, tight- ened up defensively while continuing to score at will to eventually win by the six-goal margin. Rock’s losing streak reaches six games Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Brooklin Merchants’ Chris Willerton, left, wrests the ball away from Ajax-Pickering Rock’s Jordan West-Pratt during OLA senior ‘B’ lacrosse league action at the Luther Vipond Memorial Arena on Saturday night.

Forbes sprints to medals at OFSAA DURHAM — Although Pickering High School earned numerous medals at the OFSAA Track and Field Championships, other Ajax and Pickering high school track and field athletes also fared well at the provincial showcase in Ottawa. Charles Forbes of St. Mary earned two medals in the senior boys’ sprint events, capturing a silver medal in the 200 metres in 21.59 seconds, finishing behind Adam John- son of Bendale school in 21.30. His other medal, a bronze, came in the 100 metres in 10.76 seconds. Shantel Llewellyn of Pine Ridge Secondary School ran to a silver medal in the senior girls’ 200 metres, running in 24.84. She was beaten by Sherine Wells of Westview, who set a new OFSAA record in the event in 23.78 seconds. Shona Dunkley, also of Pine Ridge, earned bronze in the junior girls’ 80-metre hurdles in 12.08 seconds. Pickering High’s Marisa Smith was the gold medallist in 12.06 seconds. Denis O’Connor’s Coneisha Waugh ran to a bronze medal in the midget girls’ 100 metres in 12.56 seconds. The race winner, Emma Roung, of Ancaster High School, set a new OFSAA record of 12.48 seconds. ✦ See Rock, Page B2 ANNANDALEANNANDALE CHURCH ST. at BAYLY, AJAX 905-683-3210 Tournaments include Deluxe Hot & Cold Buffet or your choice of N.Y.

PAGE B2 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 13, 2007A/P Most of all, the Merchants received a strong offensive performance through- out, including capitalizing for four power-play goals and two short-hand- ed markers. Individually, Brooklin was paced by Sean Holmes with a four-goal effort. Longtime Brooklin stalwart Duke McNutt had a six-point effort with a goal and five assists. John Rosa and Bill McLean led the Rock with two goals apiece. Although his Rock are going through an injury-plagued season that’s man- ifested itself in its current last-place standing in the league’s East Division with only two wins in nine games, St. John is looking to get some of his injured players back in the next two weeks. “I’m confident that if we get some of our players back we can turn it around,” says St. John. “We’ve got four of our last five games at home, which puts us in a good spot to get some momentum going into the playoffs.” The Rock started the weekend with another losing effort -- a 9-4 loss to the Norwood Nitro in Norwood on Friday night. Mark Craig and Jordan West- Pratt each had two-goal efforts for the Rock.

In top photo, chorale members act out part of a traditional African song. Clockwise from left in above photos, Ally Morris puts some drama into her performance.

William Dunbar’s golden chorale at work Public school choir makes good on Music Fest appearance By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The William Dunbar Public School Chorale thought its season was over after a fine showing at the Ontario Vocal Festival. And, chorale director Chris Mackey wasn’t complain- ing. “That was the hope because we had a school musical I was directing here with over 100 kids,” she says, noting many of them were kids from the chorale. Word must have gotten around after the Ontario festival, however, because the Pickering school’s chorale received an invitation to Music Fest Can- ada in Richmond, B.C. Given the chorale was the only public elementary school choir invited to Music Fest, it was a bit of a shocker. The 24 students in the chorale, however, had made it known their intention was to get an invite. “They were completely ecstatic,” says Ms. Mack- ey. “That had been, in their minds, a goal.” And the chorale made good on its appearance, achieving a Gold Standing in the non-competitive event. Even more impressive for Ms. Mackey and school principal John Howard, who accompanied the students on the trip, was the commentary from the adjudicators, who praised the choir and part way through its performance literally put their pens down so they could listen to the music. Not bad for a group of Grade 4 to 8 students. “I guess the adjudi- cators were surprised because we were just a public school and most of the people that go there are private schools or high schools,” Ms. Mackey said. The students were thrilled with the experience. “It’s the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me,” says Grade 6 student Melissa Topor. She moved to Pickering and came to Dunbar last year, but was “too shy” to try out for the chorale. She felt “braver” this year, tried out and made it. “When I started in chorale, I had a solo in Grade 4, but I was really, really scared,” says Grade 7 stu- dent Stephanie Bouwhuis. She didn’t like the experience and dropped out. “Fortunately I came back in Grade 5 and it’s been an amazing ride since then,” Stephanie says. She said going to B.C. was “an amazing experi- ence” and she’s looking forward to seeing what she and the chorale can accomplish next year. Ms. Mackey took over the junior intermediate choir four years ago, and it rehearses two morn- ings a week. Of the 24 students, 22 are girls, and she praises the two male members as “brave souls who’ve been in it for four years.” “I think the first year was a wake-up year at school, because the choirs here haven’t done well historically,” she says. In her first year as director, however, the chorale took first place at the Kiwanis Festival, and since then “there’s been so much improvement.” ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT durhamregion.com For more on this story HERONGATE DINNER THEATRE 2885 Altona Rd., Pickering www.herongate.com • FRIDAY JUNE 22 • THURSDAY JUNE 28 (905)-472-3085CALL: $15.00 OFF GREAT FOOD!

PAGE B5 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 13, 2007 A/P Costner’s performance ‘may be the finest of his career’ By John Foote Mr. Brooks Directed by Bruce A. Evans In theatres *** Hollywood turned its back on Kevin Costner shortly after he won the Academy Award as best director for his magnificent western ‘Dances with Wolves’ (1990), a film that also saw the actor nominated for an Oscar as best actor. In the years previous he had been on quite a tear with major hits in ‘The Un- touchables’ (1987), ‘Bull Durham’ (1988) and ‘Field of Dreams’ (1989), which helped give him the clout within the business to make his dream project, ‘Dances w ith Wolves’, a three-hour western spoken in Native American for nearly half the film. After that, he enjoyed suc- cess in ‘JFK’ (1991), ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’ (1991) and ‘A Perfect World’ (1993), in which Costner portrayed a convict on the loose, running from Clint Eastwood who also directed the film. Was ‘Waterworld’ (1995) really his undoing? Or ‘The Postman’ (1997)? If so then he quietly made a come- back with a profoundly fine performance in his western ‘Open Range’ (2003), which he also directed. Last year he gave a fine performance supporting Joan Allen’s mas- terful turn in ‘The Upside of Anger’ (2005). I have always believed that in the right role Costner was a fine actor, no Brando, but certainly a good actor and with the potential to be great in the right, carefully selected role. Though he no longer commands the high- est paycheque in Hollywood, though his star is a tad tar- nished, Costner, it seems, is back. His performance in ‘Mr. Brooks’ may be the finest of his career and, if not, it certainly is the most daring thing he has ever attempted on film. Earl Brooks (Costner) is a well-loved and respected businessman, a pillar of de- cency and honesty within his community, wonderful loving husband and father and Portland’s Chamber of Commerce choice as man of the year. Yet lurking beneath the ve- neer of love and honesty is a maniac on the loose known as the Thumbprint Killer. The killer specializes in murdering young lovers and then arranging their dead bodies into lurid poses, sign- ing the scene with the dead’s thumbprints. Brooks goes about this with such calm, such metic- ulous need; it is quite fright- ening to see. Talking to him is his imagi- nary Mr. Hyde, Marshall (Wil- liam Hurt) who tempts Earl with visions of the fun they could have as they slaughter their next victims. It seems Earl is surrounded by killers. Another has seen him at work and demands to be let in on the fun or he will go to the police while yet another is hanging the victims in public places and taunting the police to catch him. Still more frightening is the fact Earl’s daughter is being questioned for the kill- ing of a classmate and Earl believes his darling little girl may be afflicted with what- ever he has. Now the plot is a tad thread- bare, while also being often too clever for its own good, but Costner rises above the material giving a brilliant performance that is all too terrifying. Whenever the film falters, either due to weak writing or Demi Moore’s ter- rible performance, Costner bails it out with his game and very scary performance. He goes toe to toe with Hurt, back from career death recently, who is darkly sin- ister as Marshall, the devil living inside Brooks tortured mind. Had the film been released in the fall, I could see Cost- ner earning an Oscar nomi- nation for his work, but since it is a summer flick I have my doubts. Still he should, because it is a compelling performance that single-handedly lifts this from being a run of the mill horror film to a truly scary film.

Bessada Kia 1698 Bayly St., Pickering, ON (905) 421-9191 PAGE B9 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ June 13, 2007 A/P Scugog family recalls coping with the loss of a loved one through amyotrophic lateral sclerosis By Chris Hall chall@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The first clue some- thing was wrong came when Jack Moore was leading his students in a lesson at the blackboard. At 60, Mr. Moore had just given up his full-time gig as a teacher but was continuing his professional pas- sion by filling in here and there on a supply basis. It was when he was writing at the blackboard, though, that he first noticed something was amiss, recalls Mr. Moore’s daughter, Heather. “It started in his hands, they would shake and shake and shake when he was writing on the chalkboard,” says Ms. Moore. “That’s what triggered him to go to the doctor.” From there, Mr. Moore underwent countless tests and examinations, and even surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, before the worst was con- firmed: Mr. Moore was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. “I don’t know how many appoint- ments and tests he went to, but it took a year before he was finally di- agnosed,” says Ms. Moore, noting that physicians were, for the longest time, undecided between the illness being either ALS or a form or mul- tiple sclerosis. ALS, which is also sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a rap- idly progressive and fatal neuromus- cular disease that is characterized by degeneration of a select group of nerve cells and pathways (motor neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. This loss of motor neurons leads to progressive paralysis of the voluntary muscles. The heart is not a voluntary muscle, and therefore, remains unaffected by the disease. However, since breathing is con- trolled voluntarily by the chest mus- cles, death usually occurs when the chest muscles are no longer able to help the lungs achieve adequate oxy- genation. Generally, there is little im- pairment of the brain or the senses. Mr. Moore’s diagnosis came in January, 2003. A little more then two-and-a- half years later, about the average time given to someone with ALS, he passed away in October, 2005. “It was definitely hard, it was a hard thing to hear,” recalls Ms. Moore, 21, of the news of her father’s health. “I had just finished my last year of high school, I was going to school in Ot- tawa to be a teacher like my dad, and then we learned that he has a fatal disease which there is no cure for. “It was a tough time.” The family, however, pressed ahead. Despite concerns about being so far away from her family, Ms. Moore enrolled in the teaching program and began classes at Car- leton University. “We toured Carleton (prior to the beginning of the school year) and I got to see what it was like, to ex- perience it, and I wanted to go. But there was the other side we had to deal with,” she says, referring to her father’s illness. The decision was made, however, and Ms. Moore began her schooling, making monthly trips home to see her family and to check on her dad. “Because I was away, and only came home once a month, I could really see the deterioration... (my family) couldn’t see it as much be- cause they were always around him,” Ms. Moore says. At the end of her first year of uni- versity, the seriousness of her father’s illness became more visible. At that time, he began to walk with a cane and, slowly over that summer, his muscles became weaker and weak- er. When it was time to return to school in the fall, Ms. Moore enter- tained pleas from her mother to stay in Port Perry and attend a school closer to home, however she decided -- after much consideration -- to fol- low her father’s wishes and continue her education in Ottawa. “My mom didn’t want me to go, but my dad did, so I went for myself and for my dad,” says Ms. Moore. By that time, however, the family began to raise concerns about Mr. Moore. Since the time of his diagnosis, he lost weight and used a cane until he couldn’t hold himself up too well, then switched to a walker. A wheel- chair was next, although he didn’t use it as much as he probably should have, says Ms. Moore. “He was stubborn, so he tried to use the walker as much as possible,” she says. From there, a hospital bed was moved into the Moore’s home and nurses began to visit Mr. Moore on a regular basis. “It was really weird coming home (from school) and having all these people in the house looking after dad,” says Ms. Moore. In the fall of 2005, however, the trek back and forth between Port Perry and Ottawa always brought with it a sense of sadness. “You never knew when the last time would be so you were always preparing for the last good-bye,” says Ms. Moore. In October, her father was admit- ted to hospital, just in time for a weekend visit from Ms. Moore, the youngest of the family’s five chil- dren. “I came home on the Thursday and spent the weekend at the hos- pital; I thought this was it because the doctors had no good news,” she says. Mr. Moore, however, survived the weekend and bid farewell to his daughter on Sunday night before she boarded a train back to Ottawa. When she arrived there, a message on the phone was waiting, informing her that she was booked on the next flight back home. Ms. Moore returned to Port Perry around 1 a.m. and spent the night with her family. Mr. Moore passed away later that day. “I got to say good-bye to him,” she says. “It was a horrible experience I’ll never forget.” Celia Klemenz / News Advertiser photo Heather Moore wants to encourage everyone to lace up their walking shoes for a ‘Durham Walk for ALS’ she has organized for June 16.
