Ground Broken On New Buisness Centre

Ground was broken today on the new Woodbine Business Centre.
The condominium retail and professional centre on Woodbine Avenue, north of Hwy. 7, was started when the owners, Mady Development Corporation, was looking for a Markham location for their own office.
Mayor Frank Scarpitti said 70 seemed to be the magic number of the day, seeing as the 70,000-square-foot facility will house 70 units, which are now 70 per cent sold.

Sylvester Denies Sexually Assaulting Ross At Murder Trial

Daniel Sylvester stated to police that he never sexually assaulted his neighbour Alicia Ross.
Sylvester made the revelation during a taped interview with police shortly after Ross was killed on Aug. 17, 2005.
The tape was played for the jury of eight women and four men in the Newmarket courtroom.
On the recording, a police officer asked Sylvester if a forensic analysis would find traces of semen on the garbage bag of bloody clothes he dumped in a wooded area.
Sylvester said material would likely be found.
However, he said he masturbated after disposing Ross' body and it was a way to relieve stress.
Sylvester has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
He has admitted to causing Ross' death, but has denied it was murder.
