But in June, she was told by the local Cana- dian Cancer Society unit that she’s no longer allowed to go along for the ride because she uses a walker. “All of a sudden they said I can’t go with him because I have a walker,” Ms. Pearce says. Glenn Pearce, 50, began treatments at Lak- eridge Health Oshawa for colon cancer in April of last year. Ms. Pearce travelled to and from the hospital in a car driven by a cancer society volunteer. The cancer has spread to his lungs and liver RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Joan Pearce and her brother Glenn, who is suffering from cancer, are upset that she can no longer accompany him to his appointments. The local Canadian Cancer Society chapter will not let Joan continue to ride with Glenn in a volunteer’s car because she uses a walker.See RIDE page 7 Pressrun 50,400 • 24 pages • Optional 3-week delivery $6/$1 newsstand PICKERING Friday, August 7, 2009 NNews ews AAddveverr titisseerrTHE cityofpickering.com/great events 2009 2:00 PMSUNDAYSTREBLE IN THE PARK Esplanade Park, Gazebo August 9 Performing Live: Silverheels Behind City Hallcityofpickering.com/greatevents OPEN 24 HOURS Kingston Rd & Westney Rd, Ajax 905.426.3355 905-683-6074 Full & Partial Dentures BPS® Dentures Same Day Relines & Repairs Soft Liners Implant Dentures Complimentary Consultations DentureClinics we’ll give you a reason to smile...

Just before midnight on Aug. 5, Durham Regional Police were called to a home on Ravenscroft Road in Ajax. Police report the victim had just arrived at a friend’s home, waiting for a ride home. He went outside to see about a disturbance when a group of males approached him and an altercation ensued. During the melee, the victim was stabbed several times. Two members of the group were armed with baseball bats and one had a knife, police say. The group fled before police arrived. Investigators don’t believe the incident is a random act. One suspect is a heavy-set, light-skinned black male, while the second was a black male between 17 to 20 years of age. A third suspect is a white male wearing a black bala- clava, 17 to 20 years of age.

Figure 1 – Regions of Durham and York Figure 2 – Clarington 01 Site Location AP HEALTH Planning for the H1N1 pandemic New Ajax doctor joins infection prevention and control team BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The latest doctor to join the Rouge Valley Health System has a main priority to prepare for the looming H1N1 pandemic. “I’m expecting an increase in the fall and winter months because of the weather (and people gener- ally stay inside),” said Dr. Abdelbaset Belhaj in an interview at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering. The new Pickering resident, who has a back- ground in medical microbiology and specializes in infectious diseases, will lead the infection preven- tion and control team, currently consisting of three other specialists in the same field. He’ll also help run the antibiotic utilization subcommittee, and provide consultations to the other physicians to help prevent, diagnose and treat various infections. Dr. Belhaj will work between both Ajax and Scarbor- ough campuses, and starts his post next week. He plans to open an infectious dis- eases out-patient clinic at the Scarborough campus in Sep- tember. “I’m looking forward to being part of the Rouge Valley team and working together to update the pandemic plan,” he said. Pandemic planning includes considering factors such as accommodating large numbers of patients, managing triage, and preparing for inten- sive care unit beds. “We’ll learn from the southern hemisphere because they have winter and more flu right now,” he said. H1N1 has been affecting more people in the age group of five to 50 compared to the regular flu, he said, because it’s new and people only have partial immunity. Although it can be troublesome to the “high-risk” population, such as pregnant women and chemotherapy patients, he believes “the mor- tality rate is still the same as the regular season of the flu.” The best advice the married father of two can give to prepare for H1N1: get the flu vaccine. Health offi- cials are currently conducting trials on a vaccine that includes the H1N1 strain, Dr. Belhaj said. “I’m a big advocate for the flu vaccine,” he said, adding his family gets the shot each year. People should always sneeze into their sleeve, wash their hands and stay home from school and work if they’re sick, he said. It’s important that residents with symptoms that include fever, cough, body ache, sore throat and malaise seek medical attention either from their family physician or the hospital. As it stands, if a patient is suspected of having H1N1 at the hospital, they’ll be asked to wear a mask, and will be booked in a private room. Nurses and doctors must wear a mask, gloves and a gown, and a swab must be taken for testing. If the patient tests positive, they’ll be kept in isolation for four to five days with treatment. DR.

The skull was found by a citizen walk- ing in a field near the South Service and Holt roads on Friday, Oct. 27, 2006. The area is near the entrance to the Darling- ton nuclear station. The remains were taken to the coro- ner’s building in Toronto. A month-long search of the area was conducted by Durham police, the OPP and a forensic anthropologist. Items found on the site included a woman’s digital watch, a 1980 Canadian penny, a piece of red ribbon and a small, red heart-shaped object. The deceased is a female, Caucasian, between 18 and 30 years of age. Investi- gators haven’t been able to identify her. “It’s one of those cases, it never ends,” said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby. “We were able to get the specialized skills of the arts. It’s an ongoing effort to find out who this woman is.” The information was uploaded onto various public websites, including the OPP Project Resolve, the Doe Network and Ontario’s Missing Adults. To date, no identification has been made. A forensic artist recently completed a three-dimensional clay facial image of the woman. A computer-generated digi- tal reconstruction was also completed. Anyone with information on the wom- an’s identity is asked to call Project RESOLVE at 1-877-934-6363 or visit the website www.missing-u.ca.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions BREAKING FREE Book helped smoker quit the habit To the editor: Re: Pros will try to help Durham trio quit smoking habit, Aug. 5. I smoke first thing in the morning to help wake me up. I have to have one just before bed because it calms me down. I have one when I’m stressed because it helps me deal. Did I ever give those ciga- rettes a lot of power over the 25 years I was a smoker. But 14 months ago my husband and I read a book (one chapter a day) until on the last day, May 8, 2008, we closed our last chapter and haven’t smoked another cigarette since. I’m not saying those first few months weren’t difficult. They were challenging to say the least, but I’ve always been told that nothing good ever comes to you easily. And the good has come to me over and over, every day since I’ve become free of nicotine. I’m so much more healthi- er today and happier now that instead of running to my smokes when I was stressed or tired, I talk to my husband/ family instead and you know what? I’ve been able to work out all the chal- lenges life brings my way without a ciga- rette. I think I’ve done some pretty amazing things in my life, but the one that makes me smile from ear to ear every single day is the fact that I broke free from cigarettes. Allen Carr’s EasyWay to Stop Smoking has saved our lives and I’m hoping it can help your readers too. Diana McNeill Whitby FREE SPEECH Cartoon offered chance to express views To the editor: Re: Editorial cartoon of July 16. Society has granted people the right to free expression, an extension of which is the right to offend and to be offended. Con- versely, if the right to be free from offence is chosen, then we must repeal our right to free expression, for the nature of reality dictates that rights cannot contradict one another. Those who wish to filter the expression of others are advocating a society free from dissenting thought. Even if the right to be free from offence was chosen over the right to free expression, who would be the ulti- mate judge of what is acceptable? It is the responsibility of the individual to cope with their own feelings of offence. To expect others to shield one from potential- ly offensive material is to declare oneself irresponsible and unable to live in the soci- ety we have constructed. Terry Price Oshawa CAT WANTED BACK Owner of lost cat looking for pet To the editor: My indoor cat ran outside a few weeks ago. She’s grey with a white patch on her chest. We were moving furniture and she must have got scared with the place being changed around. I opened the door for the mail like I’ve done a thousand times. She never had an interest with the outside. I know when people see cats they just assume the owners let them out. That’s not true. There are a lot of indoor cats that get out and can’t find their way back. Please, if you see a cat all of a sudden hanging around your yard or house, please check the lost ads in your local paper or phone the vet clinic and animal services. That cat could be someone’s lost pet that’s been used to being in a house. When you lose a cat it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. They could be anywhere. Rita Tourout Pickering Firefighters show utmost professionalism when fire hits For the second time in just two months, a Durham fire department has been forced to deal with a major catastrophe -- this time, the massive Wednesday morning fire at a recycling storage facility near the Oshawa lakefront. Back on Friday, June 5, fire crews quick- ly responded to a massive train derail- ment near the Park Road overpass in south Oshawa and did so with the utmost pro- fessionalism. Emergency response was very quick on that occasion and damage to property was amazingly light with, miracu- lously, nobody injured. The story was no different two days ago with seven trucks rushing to the scene as quickly as humanly possible and 30 fire- fighters doing everything they could to keep the raging blaze under control. With thousands of tonnes of newsprint inside the wooden building, it didn’t take long for it to become completely engulfed in flames. Thick black smoke columns could be seen for many kilometres in all directions. But firefighters fought the blaze bravely, as they are trained to do. And they did a great job to contain it and keep the fire from spreading further than it did. Our firefighters are highly trained pro- fessionals who go into the most dangerous situations routinely and often deal with most life-threatening issues that most of us would never dream of battling. Such was the case with the Claremont store fire last month as well where firefight- ers did their best to battle an inferno. Firefighters never know from day to day what they will have to face in a job that presents all manner of challenges. While many of the jobs are straightforward and deal with issues like safety and mainte- nance, train derailments and seven-truck warehouse blazes can happen at any time of the day or night. And firefighters have to be ready for just about anything. The training required by the men and women who make up the professional and volunteer ranks across Durham is ongoing and demanding and response times are a matter of life or death. Just as firefighters need to be ready, so do we. That’s why fire safety, including prop- erly installed and working smoke alarms and an exit plan to get out of your house or apartment is critical. You should also properly store hazardous materials and make sure children know to Learn not to Burn. Because like the Wednesday morning warehouse blaze, you just never know when a fire can strike. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 7, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 7, 20097 P WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING IT’S SALE TIMEIT’S SALE TIME genuine leather woven vamp perfect for the warm summer weather Comfort and Well being with every step Available in Sizes 6-13 !.4)342%33 ¤ VIJAY BADHWAR, DMD Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. • Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. • Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. • A Relaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit. 905-683-1391 We keep our patients smiling by taking the time to understand their needs.

Ms. Pearce lives on Glen Street and her brother on Central Park Boulevard North. Ms. Pearce was originally told that in order to ride with her brother, she would need a doctor’s note that “he needs someone with him. He does. He really does,” she said. She got the note and everything was fine. This past June, she was told she could no longer travel with her brother. Ms. Pearce threatened to stand behind the car if they wouldn’t let her go with her broth- er. “I also told them I would be contacting my MPP.” An official with the cancer society “literal- ly said ‘if you didn’t have a walker or if you leave it at home, you could ride with Glenn,’” Ms. Pearce states. “Recently, they told her and me she couldn’t come with me because she uses a walker. I never heard any complaints from the drivers,” Mr. Pearce says. He goes to the hospital every two weeks for bloodwork and chemotherapy sessions. “I’d like someone to be there with me,” Mr. Pearce says, adding it’s not for reasons of loneliness. “I just like somebody to be there.” As for his two-year prognosis, “Hopefully, they’ll be wrong about that,” he quips. He had worked at Web Offset Publications, a printing company in Pickering, but with his illness, he’s not able to work. Ms. Pearce lives with her brother Roy, who takes her to Glenn’s house the night before they go to the hospital. Roy works during the day, so he can’t drive her to the hospital, she says. “The driver isn’t responsible for folding up the walker and putting it in the back of the vehicle. I could do that. I have a prob- lem with walking. If I don’t have the walker, I could fall,” Ms. Pearce states. From April of last year until late June of this year, “they took me to every appointment, no problem.” Kendra Chopcian, the unit manager for the cancer society, said privacy rules meant she couldn’t speak specifically to the situation. The society’s transportation program is “volunteer driven. We use volunteer drivers. They’re not paid, except for an honorarium of 35 cents per kilometre.” Drivers are shared among patients and “the demand is often greater than our resources. Our priority is to take the patient,” she says. Patients could be taken anywhere in Ontar- io, she said. An escort can travel with a client if they’re deemed medically required, such as a lan- guage translator. “If they need an escort to help them in and out of the car, they have to provide one. It’s not expected of the driver to assist the client,” Ms. Chopcian states. Clients need to be mobile, she says. “If they need assistance, the escort needs to be there. The escort needs to be able to get in and out of the vehicle. We do have to examine care- fully when an escort is needed. We accom- modate as much as possible if an escort is needed. If they’re able to meet the guide- lines, they can travel,” Ms. Chopcian adds. The society services about 40 clients a day, taking them anywhere in the GTA. “There are up to 50 people a day in cars. “The service is free. We ask nothing of the cli- ents. We go through quite a thorough intake with our clients. There’s a relatively low turn- down rate,” she said.

WE HAVE MANY UMBRELLAS IN STOCK Lawn arden Advertising FeatureG&Home, Thinking of doing some renovations – maybe redoing your kitchen or bathroom? The Fed- eral Government’s 2009 budget, has introduced a new home renovation tax credit (HRTC). You can be eligible to receive up to $1,350 in tax credits - so you no longer have to put off ﬁ xing that leaking roof or replacing the old furnace. Examples of eligible renovations for the HRTC: • Renovating a kitchen, bathroom, or basement • New carpet or hardwood ﬂ oors • Building an addition, deck, fence or retaining wall • A new furnace or water heater • Painting the interior or exterior of a house • Resurfacing a driveway • Laying new sod. Ineligible: • Furniture and appliances (refrigerator, stove, couch) • Purchase of tools • Carpet cleaning • Maintenance contracts (furnace cleaning, snow removal, lawn care, pool cleaning, etc.). Combine it with grants for Eco Renovations Does my reno qualify for the home renovation tax credit? “What you may not realize is the HRT credit can be combined with other government programs that can help you save even more when you renovate your home,” advises Bernice Dunsby, RBC’s senior man- ager home of equity ﬁ nancing. “For example, making your home more energy-efﬁ - cient can qualify you for grants under the ecoenergy retroﬁ t program – up to $5000. This way you can save with both the home renovation tax credit and the retroﬁ t programs.” More information on this topic is available online at http://services.rbc.com/advice/video. Government websites for the home renovation tax credit and ecoenergy retroﬁ t program include www. budget.gc.ca/2009/pamphlet-depliant/pamphlet-de- pliant3-eng.asp and oee.nrcan.gc.ca/corporate/retro- ﬁ t-summary.cfm. - News Canada newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 7, 200916 AP Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comEntertainment ART Transforming trees from trash to treasure BY IZABELA JAROSZYNSKI newsroom@durhamregion.com SCUGOG -- At 15 feet high, the 100-year-old spruce towers over Adam Connolly as he examines his newest specimen. “There is something so power- ful about trees,” the Port Perry artist says. “They have such history and character.” The tree in question was struck by lightning and represents the type of wood Connolly likes to work with. He calls it “found wood”: wood that is in its natural state but no longer viable, whether it has been struck by lightning, infested by insects or decayed. An award-winning wildlife artist, Connolly’s work is well known in the Durham area. Through his Sec- ond Life for Trees program, he has created many beautiful sculptures out of old trees, including Scout, which stands at the corner of Queen and Cochrane streets in Port Perry’s historic downtown. His love for nature and his abil- ity to bring out the beauty of trees marked for the landfill has earned Connolly respect throughout Can- ada and even internationally. His work is featured in England, Bel- gium, France and Trinidad. But now, he is working on an even bigger project. Funded by a grant he won from the Ontario Arts Coun- cil, he is creating an Eco-Sculpture Tour. The idea is to use discarded trees to create an exhibit that allows spec- tators to interact with the sculptures and brings these old trees and their histories to life. His ideas for inter- active displays are many. He wants people to be able to listen to the wind through the trees in the form of carved wind charms, to beat a drum, to open a door in the tree’s trunk and see inside. He is even toy- ing with the idea of hollowing out a tree to allow people to see from the inside out. “I want people to be able to expe- rience the art from different aspects: to see it, touch it, feel it,” he said. Once completed, the exhibit will consist of seven large trees, each anywhere from six to 12 feet high. The trees Connolly uses are all old -- at least two feet in diameter -- and will come from the city of Toronto’s stock of discarded trees. He likes the idea of using urban trees not only because they are easi- er to acquire, but because they offer a variety of species, from chestnut to pine to huge maples. Mr. Connolly’s hope for the exhib- it is that it will travel throughout the country, giving as much exposure to his work as possible. It is an ambitious project and the logistics for such a feat are many - - from renting a trailer big enough to house the sculptures to getting funding to pay for it -- but Mr. Con- nolly is not one to shy away from a challenge. “Can’t is not really a word in my vocabulary,” he says. “Try. Always try to do what you dream about. You can surprise yourself.” The Eco-Sculpture Tour will be on display in 2010. CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND PORT PERRY -- In July 2008, Adam Connolly, a Prince Albert carver, worked on sculpting the images of two dogs, a rooster, a snake, a rabbit and a pig into a sugar maple located on Cochrane Street, a sculpture now complete. “ I want people to be able to experience the art from different aspects: to see it, touch it, feel it. Adam Connolly “For project updates and photos: WEB www.adamconnolly.com Mandy Budan: on the cutting edge of fine art promotion Pickering resident Mandy Budan is a perfect example of the new wave of artists who have turned to the Internet for the marketing of their work. She and most contemporary artists now not only automati- cally establish their own web sites but also use fine art listing sites such as Saatchi Online; the auction site, Ebay; the handicraft store, Etsy; social networking sites, Facebook, MySpace and even Twitter; and, business pro- fessionals’ network, LinkedIn. And, typically, they set up their own blogs and send out e-mail newsletters to connect with the elusive fine art buyer. Budan began with Ebay three years ago, posting tiny origi- nal artworks called ACEOs (art cards, editions and originals) for auction and did OK with sales for a short spell until the mar- ket became glutted and sales dropped off. Next she joined Etsy, posting prints and notecard reproductions of her paintings, which turned out to be quite prof- itable, although time consuming, what with the preparation of the mounted prints, shipping and handling, etc. For her fine art originals, she markets from the web site she created herself and, most importantly, from a blog she established that permits her to post works-in-progress, as well as interact with potential clients via a comment wall and newslet- ter. And she’s seriously up to date by having followers of her art on Twitter. Budan was born in Toronto and studied art at Northern Second- ary School. Although she was mad about fine art, she “got cold feet” and enrolled in the graph- ic design course at Humber Col- lege and established herself in the advertising industry. Ten years ago, her sister and mother bought her a set of acrylics and insisted she get back to making art. She has since established a unique style she calls “abstract- ing the landscape”, acrylic on panel board paintings com- posed of medleys of flat areas of colour that appear to be abstract but read as representational. She and her husband, Steve, a soft- ware developer, take field trips and gather photo reference she uses as inspiration for her paint- ings. Some recent developments: a selection of her paintings has been added to the Hallmark Cards database for use for card creation. And she has been picked up by the bricks-and- mortar Mayberry Fine Art Gal- lery in Winnipeg. See her paintings: visit www.abstractlandscape- painting.com Allan O’Marra is a professional artist living and working in Ajax. For contact information go to www.allanomarra.com.

Peterborough would go on to win the game 10-3 and the best-of-five series in four games. JR. C LACROSSE Patriots ousted by Lakers Lacrosse team falls in division final PICKERING -- It could be said that the West Durham Patriots somewhat met expectations this season. A couple of months back, prior to the club’s first game of the OLA Jr. C lacrosse league season, general manager Rob McDonald noted that he hoped to see his club attain a top two finish in the East Division, before giving “it a really good run in the playoffs.” In reaching the division final against the powerhouse Peterborough Lakers, they managed to accomplish the latter but that run at a division championship came to an end Tuesday night at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex following a 10-3 loss to the Lakes in Game 4 of their best-of-five series. A 3-2 game through the first period, the Lakers took control in the second and through the third, scoring seven times to West Durham’s one. After Spencer Takeda scored with 3:59 remaining in the first peri- od, the Patriots managed only one more over the game’s final 40-plus minutes. However, the fact the series went to four games was surprising in itself, considering West Durham’s 6-10 regular season mark to Peterborough’s near-perfect 14-1 line that solidified the division crown. That notwithstanding, two of the four games in the series were close. Aside from 10-3 losses in Games 2 and 4, the Patriots fell 7-5 in the first game of the series, played at home, while in Game 3 they managed a surprising 5-4 victory in Peterborough to prolong the series. McDonald could not be reached for com- ment prior to deadline. In the end the Lakers were just too strong, and will face the West Division champion Caledon Bandits in the league final. Caledon swept Centre Wellington in three straight to advance after finishing first in its division with a 15-1 mark. Despite the Patriots’ third-place finish with a record four games under the .500 mark, it was a solid campaign for several players, including Todd Nakasuji and George Jimas. Nakasuji led the team in scoring with 39 points while Jimas was tops in goals with 18. The duo carried their scoring prowess into the post season, with Nakasuji scoring 26 points in just nine games and Jimas potting eight goals, good enough for the team lead alongside Garth Gibson. While Nakasuji only scored once in the Peterborough series, he was all over the floor in a first-round four-game victory over the Clarington Shamrox, scoring a goal in each game and ending the series with 14 points, including a pair of five-point games. While it appears the club might have a solid nucleus to work with next season, the off-season, like every other in the Jr. C loop, will bring uncertainty with the roster. Following last season, the club lost rough- ly a handful of players to the Jr. A and B leagues, and could be in the same boat once again. BASKETBALL Local athletes hit hardwood with Team Ontario KAMLOOPS, B.C. -- With help from a trio of locals, the U15 Ontario boys’ bas- ketball team is enjoying some early suc- cess at the National Championship. The event is being held in Kamloops, B.C. and will run through Sunday, Aug. 9. Representing Ontario from these parts are Ajax’s Kaza Kajami-Keane (Ajax Lions) and Agunwa Okolie (St. David Blues), along with Pickering’s Donnele Munda (St. David Blues). Ontario absolutely dominated its opening two games of the tournament, first pounding Alberta 124-51, with all three locals chipping in. Munda scored 10 points and was named the game MVP, while Okolie grabbed a team-high seven rebounds, while Kajami-Keane dolled out five assists. In its second game, Ontario disman- tled Saskatchewan by a 107-67 count, and Kajami-Keane had a team-high six assists in that one. It wasn’t until the third game that Ontario was really challenged. The oppo- sition was the B.C. Blue team. The game was tight most of the way through, with Ontario managing to pull out a 82-73 victory. The boys were to play a quarterfinal game Thursday night (after our deadline) to help determine how the rest of the tournament would play out. A win over B.C. Red would put them into a semifinals tonight against Nova Scotia or Alberta. TRACK AND FIELD Hershey meet brings solid results HERSHEY, PENN -- The Prince sisters of Ajax had a golden time at the North American Youth Track and Field Championships in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It’s an annual event that features more than 500 of the best young track and field athletes on the continent. Nichelle and Kendra Prince, along with teammates Aurea Gordon and Alexis Marsh finished first in the girls 13-14 4x100 metre relay event, besting a team from Kelowna, B.C. by more than a half a second for the championship. The winning time was 50.48. Meanwhile, the team of Nathan- iel Rodney-Scarlett, Brandon Bobb, Stefan Lamanna and Yazin Joseph of the Speed Academy fell just short of the their goal, finishing second as they crossed the line in the 13-14 4x100m relay event with a solid time of 48.07. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 7, 200918 AP NE081G309 © 2009.

It’s a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. “The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customer’s home,” explains Wayne. “So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples.” When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you’ll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 26 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs windows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579-2222 or 1-888- 576-8575.

HOCKEY Panthers preparing for 2009-10 season Pickering picks up veteran goaltender and new trainer PICKERING -- With the sum- mer months winding down, the Pickering Panthers have made a couple of moves in preparation for the 2009-10 hockey season. The Panthers, one of 21 teams that will comprise the new Ontario Junior Hock- ey League’s Central Conference this com- ing season, have added some veteran experience in net with the acquisition of 1989-born net- minder Zac Zanussi. Zanussi has previously spent time at the Jr. A ranks with the Dixie Beehives, Ajax Attack and Vaughan Vipers. According to a press release on the Panthers’ website, sever- al teams were after the 20-year- old netminder’s services, but the Panthers were able to convince him to hop on board with their club after he met with members of the organization. Off the ice, the Panthers have brought a familiar face back into the fold, as they announced Ron Ireland as their new head trainer. Ireland has previously been a part of the Panthers’ organization, but has also spent time with the Cobourg Cougars in Jr. A and the Sr. A Whitby Dun- lops. The Panthers will hit the ice Aug. 17 for the start of training camp. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 7, 200920 AP EDUCATION ASSISTANT WHITBY CAMPUS Information Sessions - Call for Location Wednesday August 19 • 4pm or 7pm Business Administration Programs • Offi ce Administration • Dental Administration • Legal Administration • Law Clerk • Medical Administration • Accounting Clerk Whitby • Richmond Hill • Kingston • Smith Falls Not all courses available at all campuses www.kingstonlearningcentre.ca CAREER TRAINING Financial Assistance may be available if eligible 1-888-732-0326 Kingston Learning Centre Love working with children?

FRASER, Laura - Peacefully, Laura passed away on August 3, 2009 at the age of 85. She leaves to mourn, her beloved husband, Jack, her children Rob and Bonnie Fraser, Dawn Fraser and Joe Moskal, Doug and Jan Fraser, and Sharon Fraser and Gil Krehling. Her grandchildren, who she loved so dearly, Carlee, Merrill, Jonathan, Hanna and Leah. Her surviving sisters Aster and Cleone, sister in law Fay, many nieces and nephews and their families and her dear friend Lucia. A life well lived is described as having the love of family and children, to laugh often, have the respect of others, make others lives easier, to keep learning throughout your life, be non-judgmental, offer your wisdom when you see it is needed, and dance and make music with what you have left. Mom's life was certainly very well lived and the world is a better place for having had her in it. We especially remember how she had such a talent for making a house into a home. The warmth of her touch was everywhere and one felt as if they had been wrapped in a soft blanket as soon as they crossed the threshold. This was especially true at their home in Keewatin, Ontario by the river where Mom and Dad lived for over 40 years. During their retirement, they were never content to just sit. In addition to their frequent trips with family to Barbados, they also traveled the world. We would often be regaled with their stories of traveling through Australia in a van, or the state of affairs in Yugoslavia, or child labour problems in Morocco, to name a few. Way to go, Mom! She was fascinated with weather patterns, often commenting on some type of weather that was going on in the world. With being as well read as she was, Mom had many theories on why this was happening. She was also an accomplished seamstress, great gardener, fabulous cook, gracious hostess and, of course, textbook Grandmother. We consider Moms last months with us as a gift in that we were able to once again tell her how much we loved her. The family would like to thank the palliative care staff at Riverview for the tender loving care of our mother. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations may be made to moms favorite charity, The Salvation Army, 104 Matheson Street South, Kenora, ON P9N 1T8. A celebration of Laura's life will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME, 4000 Portage Ave with a reception to follow.
