He also said he believes that Mander had no intention or repaying any of the principal investment or interest unless he could attract third party investors to provide the necessary funds. As their business relationship began to unravel, Amato said Mander offered conflicting stories alleging poor health, dodged requests for information and even sent emails instructing Amato that he "need to be calm" and assuring him "it will all get worked out." The documents also show that Amato learned multiple properties Mander owned were up for sale, causing him concern Mander was preparing to "leave this jurisdiction" to avoid paying his debts. Amato also said he learned from E.M.B. employees Mander had recently applied for and obtained a passport. Last Wednesday, the accounting firm RSM Richter LLP was appointed by the court to investigate. "We are investigating all aspects of his personal and business dealings," said partner Robert Kofman. Kofman said it would be premature to put a timeline on the investigation. "We expect to be back in court within the next ten days with a very preliminary report." KAREN NEWMAN / OAKVILLE BEAVER LOCAL PROPERTY: The Dunn Street Gallery owned by former Oakville businessman Robert Mander is now guarded by security. Firefighter dons Arabic gear for competition in Dubai Continued from page 4 Henderson. "Whatever they say goes, if they say, `jump' we say, `how high.' When he showed up he wanted to see certain things done and we put on demonstrations for him and he wanted to see specific people do specific things. Myself and my tandem champion partner from Waterloo showed him the two-man relay." Henderson said the prince was pleased by the competition as he stayed and watched for 20 minutes instead of the four minutes he was scheduled to stay for. While much of Henderson's weeklong experience in UAE was devoted to the competition he and the other firefighters were also given the opportunity to experience the VIP tourist side of Dubai. This included a guided tour of the Burj Khalafi, the tallest man-made structure ever built, and a boat cruise on Dubai Creek. During this period Henderson and the other firefighters were made honourary members of the UAE's Civil Defence Department. Henderson was also given a traditional Arabic gown and headdress to wear, which made the heat far less difficult to deal with, he said. "The clothing is so practical. They love it this time of year because it was between 23 degrees and 28 degrees. For them in the summer it's 45 degrees and 50 degrees," said Henderson. "I asked a couple guys what they do in the summer and you basically stay indoors." Henderson is not sure when or if the Firefighter Combat Challenge will require him to return to Dubai, but said the Oakville Fire Department does have a team in need of sponsorship so it can compete in competitions that like that one. savings! $ 0 OFF 1 EE 905-825-Bffer ends April 11, 2010 O . vice Road W 1 North Ser 48 (2337) $ h of One Batc eer Wine ory B u B Yo Made 25 OFF 905-825ils.Bffer ends April 11, 2010 O ta North Service Rd. e Road W.
