TERRY INKLER
Canadian Collectors Roadshow
Staff Writer
After very successful shows in Newmarket
and Burlington,The Roadshow is coming
to Barrie. So you had better search
through your attics and garages, go
through your lock boxes and jewellery,
because you may be sitting on a small
fortune and not even know it!Roadshow
experts are here to examine all your an-
tiques, collectibles, gold and silver.
During a show near Toronto, a woman
came in with a jewellery box that she had
just inherited from her late aunt.“I don’t
wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles,
“so it was an easy decision to come down
to the Roadshow to sell it”.She was very
excited when she was able to walk away
with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery
she was never going to wear anyway.
Expert Elijah Gold explains,“We have no-
ticed a substantial increase in the amount
of precious metals such as gold and silver
coming to the Roadshow,which makes
sense considering how high it’s currently
trading at.He added,“The Roadshow is
great because it puts money in people’s
pockets, especially during such hard times.
Lots of items that are just sitting around
collecting dust in basements and jewel-
lery boxes can be exchanged for money,
on the spot!”
At another Roadshow event, a woman,
named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a
tin full of hundreds of old coins that were
given to her as a young child by her grand-
the Roadshow and see what he had given
her.She was ecstatic to learn she had
coins dating back to the late 1800’s,some
of which were extremely rare.Roadshow
consultant Perry Bruce explains “We had
uncovered an 1871 QueenVictoria 50 Cent
piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a
nice assortment of coins that were not
rare dates, but she was able to sell them
for their silver content”.She explains,“I
never would have thought that my old tin
afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry
Bruce continued,“Canadian coins prior to
1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are
all made with silver,and we have noticed a
large increase of customers coming to the
Roadshow with coins and cashing them in
for their silver value”.
Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and
examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE,
as well as educate you on them.The
Roadshow sees hundreds of people during
a one week event,and they have been
travelling across Canada to different cities
and towns, searching for your forgotten
treasures.
Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs,
pocket watches,porcelain and bisque
dolls, pretty much everything can be
sold at the Roadshow.Any early edition
Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow
collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky
Toys and Matchbox cars.LionelTrains and
a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price,
especially if they are in their original box
or in mint condition.If a collector is look-
ing for one of your collectibles, they can
always make an offer to buy it.
A man brought in a 1950’s MarxTinToy
Robot, in fairly good condition,still in
its original box.They were able to locate
minutes, and that gentleman went home
with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few
other small toys.
So whether you have an old toy car, a
broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting
in the closet,bring it down to the Road-
show,they will take a look at it for FREE
and it could put money in your pocket!
See you at the roadshow!

a collector for that specific toy within
DURHAM -- Three people have
been charged in what police are
describing as a retail theft ring
that targeted stores in Durham
Region and elsewhere in the
GTA.
Cops began investigating the
trio in early January after reports
of two suspects stealing small but
valuable items, such as perfume,
electric shavers and battery char-
gers, from stores in Pickering,
Uxbridge, Stouffville and Toron-
to.
A third person acted as driver,
police said.
In some cases the suspects
attempted to return stolen items
for refunds or store credits, police
said.
Durham police executed a
search warrant at a Toronto res-
idence Jan. 12, seizing some of
the stolen items. Liane Kalen-
born, 45, Brian Estwick, 21, and
68-year-old James Honsberg-
er, all of Rylander Boulevard,
Toronto, face charges including
theft and possession of property
obtained by crime.

Steady course needed in
rough economic waters
Ensuring that Canada’s economy is well
down the road to recovery before altering
course is and should remain the top prior-
ity for the federal government.
Finance minister and Whitby-Oshawa
MP Jim Flaherty was in Whitby recently to
seek input on the upcoming budget.
While Canada has done “relatively well”
in the global economic downturn, which
has almost bankrupted some nations, Mr.
Flaherty noted that the national and glob-
al economy is not yet out of the woods.
Although the government is predicting
roughly two per cent growth in Canada in
2012, it’s not quite time to pop the cham-
pagne, he suggested, noting factors out of
the government’s control.
“The situation in Europe remains really
a crisis situation,” he said. “It hasn’t been
resolved at all.”
The Bank of Canada on Tuesday point-
ed to the overseas situation as the main
reason it kept its overnight rate at one per
cent Tuesday.
The low rates are something of a
Catch-22, or maybe a Catch-23. Borrow-
ing money is cheaper for those buying a
house, prompting many to jump into the
housing market. Bank of Canada governor
Mark Carney noted this means consumer
spending and housing activity are expect-
ed to be the few bright lights in the econo-
my.
However both Mr. Carney and Mr. Fla-
herty warned Canadians not to be com-
placent as far as lending rates go: yes,
they have been low for some time, and
although that’s good for an otherwise slug-
gish economy, ironically it could also be
bad for the economy as Canadians take on
more debt. Canadians have already been
doing this and last month Mr. Carney said
while Canadians are taking advantage of
record-low interest rates, they are also tak-
ing on unprecedented debt, also prompt-
ing a warning from Mr. Flaherty.
“We have been cautioning Canadians for
some time that they need to be prepared
to have higher interest rates in the future
and be aware of the affordability issue that
may create,” he said this week.
In this context, the government’s priority
has to be to steer the ship that is Canada’s
economy through the ice-infested waters.
Mr. Flaherty said the government is
doing short-, medium- and long-term
planning “so we have a sound economic
plan.”
This is needed to ensure Canada can
deal with the current economic situation
and at the same time be prepared for what
the future may bring.
For me, checking Wikipedia is almost sec-
ond nature and I visit the site numerous times
a day.
On Wednesday morning, when I typed in
a search, I was met with a black screen and
headline that said “Imagine a World Without
Free Knowledge”.
The site was going dark for 24 hours to pro-
test an American piece of legislation called
the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Among
the many popular sites joining in on the pro-
test in various forms include Google, reddit.
com and wired.com.
SOPA is championed by the entertainment
industry which has seen its intellectual prop-
erty, including new release movies and TV
shows, freely shared on overseas websites.
Often the content is hosted in countries such
as China, where U.S. companies have no hope
of going after the pirates.
That’s why the legislation is now target-
ing websites that link to sites with infring-
ing material. This includes Google where a
quick search on a new release movies brings
up dozens of options for downloads. Social
media sites where users share links would
also be affected.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation explains
why the legislation is a problem: “That means
social media sites like Facebook or YouTube
-- basically any site with user generated con-
tent -- would have to police their own sites,
forcing huge liability costs onto countless
Internet companies.” As it stands many of
these sites have a complaints process where
intellectual property owners can notify them
about copyright infringement, resulting in
the material being taken down.
Sometimes the issue is straight up piracy,
such as a user posting an episode of a televi-
sion show or movie on YouTube. Other times,
it’s inadvertent, such as when a teenager who
loves a particular band posts a fan video or
sings a cover version of a song.
Google uses automated software robots to
crawl the Internet, logging words on millions
of websites which allows it to supply relevant
results when you search a keyword. Humans
don’t physically enter the material that ends
up on a Google search results page.
In order to actively police content, sites like
Wikipedia, YouTube and Facebook would
have to vet every link posted on the site, great-
ly decreasing the amount of content users
share. If they don’t, they could be shut down.
But why should Canadians care about
American legislation? As Canadian Internet
law columnist Michael Geist explains, one
main reason is the legislation considers any
domain name registered in the United States
under its jurisdiction. As it happens, every
website that ends in .com, .net and .org is reg-
istered through a U.S. domain name registry,
subjecting Canadian sites to the legislation if
it passes.
Some have argued that if the United States
passes SOPA, other western nations such as
Canada will be strong-armed into passing
similar legislation.
As millions of Internet users encounter the
blacked-out protest pages, perhaps it will
generate enough buzz that lawmakers will
think twice about a law that has the poten-
tial to cripple the Internet and they’ll go back
to the drawing board in their efforts to stop
online piracy..

“I wasn’t supposed to be successful in life,
I was told that as a young boy because of
who I was and where I was from,” he said.
“But here I am, and I believe if we focus
on people’s skills instead of their shortcom-
ings, if we encourage them, we can do great
things. It gives me great joy and satisfaction
to see these kids grow and change and get
on a good path in life.”
For Mr. Bridgelal, now 22, the program
changed not only his financial situation but
also his belief in a better life. Born in Can-
ada, Mr. Bridgelal returned to his parents’
native Trinidad when they were deport-
ed in 1991. He returned to Canada several
times before moving back permanently in
2008.
“It was a tough life back home, we were
living day-to-day always,” Mr. Bridgelal
explained.
“I’m a Canadian, I have something most
people would love to have, so I thought I’d
come back and try things on my own. My
parents were sad, but they had prepared
me for being on my own, they were happy I
was doing this.”
Upon returning Mr. Bridgelal secured a
job at Tim Hortons, where he still works, but
was having trouble making ends meet and
didn’t see any opportunity for advance-
ment in life until he saw a flyer for Skills
Link.
“It seemed like they helped people like
me so I thought why not? I thought I’d give
it a try.”
Mr. Bridgelal was one of 12 students
selected for the program’s 2011-2012 intake,
and he was determined to make the most
of the opportunity. He credits the program
with helping him pay his bills through a
work placement as a cook at Mary Brown’s,
where he was hired to continue after the
program, as well as improving his life by
teaching him the importance of eating
healthy and sleeping properly. He is also
planning to obtain his high school diploma
through a continuing education program
he began in Skills Link.
“I chose cooking for a work placement
because it was something I knew and
enjoyed but I wasn’t expecting to get this
job, and I really wasn’t expecting to be good
at it. ”
Classmate Chantelle Washington, 20,
also credits the program with getting her
on the right path and helping her obtain an
apprenticeship with an electrician.
“After I joined the program everything
just started to move for me, it felt like a big
highlight in my life,” she explained, noting
she had been feeling lost in life after a diag-
nosis of Bell’s Palsy.
“The program has been so positive, I’ve
made so many changes I’m like a different
person,” she said.
On Friday, Jan. 13 local dignitaries
including Mayor David Ryan, MPP Tracy
MacCharles and MP Chris Alexander came
out to celebrate with the students during a
graduation ceremony at the Word of Truth
Christian Centre on Bayly Street near Brock
Road in Pickering.

Q. I can hear people talking but the words are not clear.
A. If you can hear most people but cannot understand most of what
they say, chances are that you have some form of hearing loss.
Q. Does untreated hearing loss lead to “auditory deprivation”?
A. Absolutely. With auditory deprivation, the brain gradually loses
some of its information processing ability making it even more
difficult to understand others. Research also shows that memory can be
negatively affected.
Q. Is treating auditory deprivation important?
A. Good Health needs Good Hearing. If you have any concerns about your hearing (or
someone else’s), schedule a hearing test no matter what age; we are a family hearing
healthcare center. And, if you’re 50+, it’s even more reason to have your hearing checked.
Q. Will I need hearing aids?
A. Our professionally-trained staff will conduct a thorough hearing assessment and share the
test results with you. No waiting. No worries. If you have hearing loss, we can fit you with
hearing aids that are just right for you. The type of hearing aids depends on your loss of
hearing, the shape of your ear canals and most importantly, your lifestyle needs. Hearing
Aids are medical devices and need to be prescribed.
Q. Do Hearing Tests cost?
A. Medically necessary diagnostic hearing tests are covered under OHIP.
Remember: Untreated hearing loss is no laughing matter. Avoid auditory deprivation by
exercising your brain; be fit f rom head to toe! Call us today at one of our 3 locations most
convenient to You!

Delay in seeking diagnosis for dementia symptoms results in huge
treatment gap for Canadians according to new Alzheimer Society survey
Durham, ON, January 4, 2012-
Canadians are still dismissing symptoms
of dementia as “just old age” based on
survey results released today by the
Alzheimer Society. Close to 50 per cent
of Canadians lived a year or more with
their symptoms before seeing a family
doctor. Of these, 16 per cent waited more
than 2 years. A delayed diagnosis results
in a huge treatment gap and prevents
people from getting valuable information
about medications, support and better
disease management.
To promote the benefits of early
diagnosis, this January during Alzheimer
Awareness the Alzheimer Society is
launching its Let’s face it! campaign.
The online survey, which was conducted
by the Society in the fall of 2011, also
revealed that the most common reason
for the delay (53 per cent) was the belief
that the symptoms were part of “old age”
and would eventually go away. Another
39 per cent said their symptoms were
episodic or didn’t take them seriously
enough. Over a quarter either refused to
see a doctor or saw no need to go unless
symptoms grew worse.
However, three-quarters of respondents
– caregivers of people with dementia
– admitted that they wished they had
sought a diagnosis sooner to have access
to treatments to manage symptoms. They
also recognized other benefits of getting
a diagnosis when shown a list of these.
Seventy-eight per cent of respondents
said that early diagnosis would help them
put their legal and financial affairs in
order; 69 per cent said it would keep the
person with dementia at home longer, and
allow the person to actively participate
in decision-making. Sixty-two percent
of respondents attributed better coping
and living with the disease to early
diagnosis.
Chris Braney, CEO at the Alzheimer
Society Durham Region says “We need
to help Durham residents recognize the
symptoms for what they are: signs of a
brain disorder that will affect 1.1 million
Canadians in the next 25 years. While
we don’t yet have a cure, we can offer
a wealth of information to help people
prepare for their future needs.”
During Alzheimer Awareness Month,
the Alzheimer Society encourages
Canadians to face dementia by visiting
its Let’s face it! campaign site: www.
alzheimerletsfaceit.ca There they can
learn more about dementia and its
warning signs and download a Preparing
for your doctor’s visit checklist. The
site also features moving testimonials
of caregivers and people with dementia
who tell what early diagnosis has meant
to them.

It's hard to find a balance between keeping money
in your wallet now, leading the lifestyle you enjoy,
and also saving for the future. There are many con-
siderations when determining the savings plan that's
right for you: one option is a Retirement Savings Plan
(RSP). The deadline for making RSP contributions for
the 2011 tax year is February 29, 2012.
Other options for working towards a financially-
secure future include: paying down your debt or mort-
gage, contributing to a Tax-Free Savings Account
(TFSA), a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP)
for your children's education, or other investments
(such as mutual funds, equities, etc.).
“RSPs are a great way to start saving for your re-
tirement,” says Kathryn Del Greco, Vice President, In-
vestment Advisor, TD Waterhouse Private Investment
Advice. “However, ensure that you carefully weigh all
the alternatives and find the right mix of investments
tools that will help you achieve your short, medium
and long-term goals.”
Here are some tips to help you get started – or help
with your current investments:
• Evaluate your investment portfolio regularly. Ana-
lyze your asset allocation and assess if it's appropriate
for your required return, time horizon and risk toler-
ance, as well as if you're on track to meet your goals.
• Make sure you have a plan. Know what your goals
are and determine what financial steps are needed to
get there. An experienced financial advisor can help
you build a custom plan suited for your personal situ-
ation as well as help you manage it.
• If short of funds, consider a loan for your RSP
contributions. The tax-deferred compound growth on
your investments could potentially outweigh the inter-
est costs.
• Contribute regularly. Monthly contributions can
help you reach your total annual contribution goal. In-
vestigate taking advantage of payroll deductions for
your RSP if offered by your employer.
• Be mindful of the limits. Review your Notice of
Assessment statement provided by the Canada Rev-
enue Agency to check the maximum you can contrib-
ute to your RSP. You will pay a penalty if you over-
contribute.
More information about how
to make the most of your
retirement savings or how to start
investing in RSPs can be found
online at www.tdretirement.com.

A leaking basement is frustrating and expensive – and it’s not something you
want to have to fix repeatedly. That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional,
someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time.
Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in
the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in
Durham region.
“I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says,
“and I’m still learning.”
Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try dif-
ferent techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting abil-
ity.
“I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost
to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire
perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s
absolutely necessary.”
Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will.
“An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely effi-
cient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he
says.
Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says hom-
eowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term.
“Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into
