Volunteers, families, staff and neigh- bours celebrated the opening of four new homes on Centre Street South. The homes make up phase one of Habitat’s larger Centretown project, which will eventually see 24 townhomes on the property. “It was a big decision to make to buy this piece of property, because basically we didn’t have the money, but we do now,” said Mike Whiston, chairman of the board for Habitat for Humanity Durham. “It’s an exciting day now to be turning over these houses, but also an emotional day.” For Marvette McLaughlan, the main emotion seemed to be excitement as the Oshawa mother got ready to take posses- sion of her first home. “I’m so excited and ecstatic, and happy to know I helped build it and my hard work and sweat is in there,” she said. “It’s an amazing day and I’ve been so looking forward to it, I’ve been coming over almost weekly to see how it was coming along.” Ms. McLaughlan’s two daughters, 16, and 19-year-old son were also on hand to tour their new home. “It’s really exciting, I’ll finally get my own room,” said Tameka McLaughlan. While Habitat homes are purchased at fair market value, mortgages are interest free and payments are geared to 25 per cent of owners’ monthly income. Families are required to put in 500 hours of sweat equity on their homes, either volunteer- ing for the build or at Habitat’s Re-store. “The thing I love most about Habitat is it’s very family oriented, when people come to build it’s not about building a house or working in the Re-store, you’re actually building a family,” said Mary Bone, executive director of Hab- itat Durham. “The spirit of Habi- tat is about building families and communities and welcom- ing families like these into their homes.” That spirit of family was alive among the new owners, who say they’ve already grown close to their new neighbours. “We’re very well acquainted with the neighbours from all our volunteer work and that really makes it easier because you know who you’re moving next to,” said Deborah McCandless, who is moving into one of the homes with her two chil- dren. “It’s really exciting, we just can’t wait to get all our stuff in and get settled.” For more information on projects and volunteer opportunities visit www.habi- tatdurham.com.

That’s the opinion of Arnold Gundersen, a U.S.-based nuclear expert who spoke at a Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission hear- ing being held to consider renewing the plant’s five-year operating licence. Mr. Gun- dersen was speaking on behalf of Durham Nuclear Awareness at the hearings, being held at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The station’s licence expires on June 30 and Ontario Power Generation has applied for a licence that would run to June 30, 2018. “History has shown (the Candu reactor) isn’t as reliable as others because of its com- plexity. It’s at an evolutionary dead end,” Mr. Gundersen said. CNSC staff is recommending the licence be renewed for five years. A report prepared by Greg Rzentkowski, the director general, Directorate of Power Reac- tor Regulation, to the commission says OPG is “qualified to carry on the activities autho- rized by the licence.” The company has made improvements to further protect the environment and will con- tinue to make others, Mr. Rzentkowski said. The first four Pickering reactors came on line in 1971, with the other four starting in 1986. “The technology was well worth trying, but it’s at an evolutionary and engineering dead end,” Mr. Gundersen stated. The technology used in a Candu reactor is similar to that used in the Fukushima Daiichi reactors in Japan, which saw a meltdown fol- lowing a devastating earthquake and tsuna- mi in March 2011. “We’re talking about a technology that can have 40 great years and one bad day. Pickering A is as old as Fukushima 1,” he said, adding the Fukushima reactor hit the 40-year mark one month before the accident. In written comments to the commission, Mr. Gundersen said the evidence “makes it clear that both the CNSC and OPG have failed to grasp the magnitude of the essential mes- sages from the Fukushima Daiichi accident. A severe accident could occur at an aging end- of-design-life plant like the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.” Mark Elliott, the chief nuclear engineer for OPG, said, “We were already aware we could have multiple unit events. We had systems in place before Fukushima.” The systems, along with safety equip- ment, would “support all the units if we went through an event like Fukushima,” Mr. Elliott said. Chris Harwood, a technical specialist, directorate of assessment and analysis for the CNSC, said Candu reactors have more safety measures in the event of an accident. “It has tremendous redundancy and the time to use it.” The three-day hearing wrapped up on Fri- day and a decision will be announced in June. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 3 4 AP 2010Diamond Entertainment, Bingo Te nt,Ve ndors,Silent Au ction Abbeylawn Manor Retirement Home 534 Rodd Avenue, Pickering 905-509-2582 /1-888-999-5668 www.abbeylawnmanor.com or www.durhamelderabusenetwork.ca *Please bring your own lawn chairs* All proceeds to support D.E.A.N.

Charges are pending as an investiga- tion into the June 3 crash, on Frisco Road near Montgomery Park Road at about 7:40 p.m., continues, Durham police said. Cops said a Honda Accord with a woman at the wheel was southbound on Frisco when the driver failed to negotiate a curve. The car went into the ditch and flipped onto its roof, police said. A female passenger in the back seat was seriously injured and rushed to local hos- pital before being transferred to a Toron- to trauma centre, police said. As of Tues- day she was in stable condition with head injuries. Police closed the roadway to gather evi- dence. Weather and road conditions were favourable and it’s believed alcohol and speed were factors in the crash, police said. Police are asking anyone with new infor- mation about the incident to call 905-579- 1520, extension 5267.

The families were joined by relatives, friends and volunteers who helped build the homes as part of Habitat for Humanity’s most ambitious builds in Oshawa. These four homes comprise phase one of Habi- tat’s Centretown project, which will eventu- ally see 24 townhomes built on the proper- ty on Centre Street South. When complete, Centretown will embody the values of Habitat for Humanity that pro- mote housing for all, human dignity, part- nerships, faith, diversity and inclusiveness. But for four families, last weekend’s event wasn’t just about coming home. It was about receiving the keys not only to a house, but to a way of life and a future that holds more promise. Marvette McLaughlan and her three teen- age children are among those who are now at home in Centretown and who embraced the value of Habitat for Humanity. Marvette has seen the structure take shape, wielded tools herself and put in the required hours of ‘sweat equity’. That trading of sweat equity is one of the ways Habitat distinguishes itself from other organizations. Habitat homes are pur- chased at fair market value, mortgages are interest-free and payments are geared to 25 per cent of owners’ monthly income. And the positive outcomes are plain to see on the beaming faces of the McLaughlans and hundreds of others before them whose dream of home ownership was made pos- sible through Habitat for Humanity. Centretown will also stand out as a bea- con of community spirit. Hours spent at the site while homes were built have fostered a strong sense of belonging among volun- teers, local residents and Habitat officials. Some of the newcomers have already made acquaintance with their neighbours and those relationships will only grow. There is something special going on at Centretown that won’t be fully appreciated until all 24 units are completed. We wish the development’s most recent arrivals a warm community welcome, and look forward to seeing the rest of the proj- ect take shape. Deborah McCandless put it in sharp per- spective when she received the key to her new home last weekend: “It’s really excit- ing; we just can’t wait to get all our stuff in and get settled.” Getting settled in a new home, and living a dream.

I agree with the original letter writer. As I understand it, one reason the govern- ment imposed a pesticide ban was because many of them can cause cancer, so we can’t use them on our lawns because a child could fall and roll in the grass. Why, then, are golf courses and sports fields exempt from the ban? I see lots of par- ents and children sitting on the grass as they watch other children play soccer or base- ball. Lots of kids trip and fall while playing soccer. What’s wrong with this picture? Fred Snider Whitby Anti-ant advice To the editor: Re: ‘The ants go marching through my backyard’, Mike Johnston column, durham- region.com, May 22, 2013. I was amused to read the saga of Mike Johnston and his backyard ants. I have my problems with these crawlers every spring and have had some degree of success by spreading cornmeal on and around the ant hills. Good luck. Rahmatoola Rujeedawa Pickering Send a letter Marking 10 years of home, parish, school I’m incredibly honoured to represent Holy Trinity for our 10th anniversary cel- ebration. Having served at the school as an administrator for nine of the past 10 years, I have seen first-hand the tremen- dous school community that our staff, stu- dents and families have built over the past decade. From the day Holy Trinity opened, our school has been focused on creating an inclusive school community. In the words of our founding principal, Doug Finbow, Holy Trinity is truly a school where everyone belongs. While we have enjoyed success in extra- curricular areas, Holy Trinity has remained focused on guiding our students towards academic excellence. Graduating students who have the work ethic, social skills and academic knowledge to meet the demands of the next phase of their journey have always been at the forefront of our school’s mission. For 10 years we have worked with our parish community and the clergy of St. Therese of Lisieux. Together we have real- ized why the triple connection of home, parish and school is an important and inte- gral part of Catholic education. For our stu- dents, this interconnection has shown them the reality of our wider Catholic community. The success of Holy Trinity would not have been possible without the tremendous sup- port of our parent community. As we cel- ebrate our 10th anniversary, we would love to connect with all our current and former students and their families. Our official 10th anniversary celebration takes place Mon- day, June 10, with a barbecue at 5 p.m. and a performance arts retrospective at 7 p.m. You can RSVP to www.htcss.ca. We can’t wait to share our tremendous pride for this school on June 10. -- Rosemary Livesay has been a Catholic educator for the past 25 years. Rosemary Livesay Guest Columnist Holy Trinity’s 10th Year RSVP for event Fabulous moments in history, statistically speaking This week the Boy Scouts of America announced that, after 103 years of exclu- sion, gay youths would finally be allowed membership in the organization. Adult homosexuals, however, are still banned from the Scouts. I have conflicting emo- tions about all of this, I must admit. First and foremost I have to laugh at the remark- able ignorance of the Boy Scouts organiza- tion if it really thinks that for the last century there have been no gay Scouts in the ranks. A club where you get to wear a scarf around your neck and an outfit that matches your socks? Hello? That’s like a gay saltlick. And who do they think was pushing so hard for the salsa and musical theatre badges? I should applaud this move of course, but I can’t help but feel it’s one step forward, two steps back. When are we ever going to just grow up and get over it? Gay people are not an aberration. They are a part -- a very large part -- of our world. In 1948 Alfred Kinsey reported that upwards of 10 per cent of the world’s male population is gay. That’s more than one in 10. Think about that and tell me it’s still abnormal. The same statistic, by the way, applies to left-handed people. Are they also freaks of nature? The ‘one-in-10’ rule is worth extrapolat- ing. That means, of the 20 Toronto Maple Leafs who dress for each game, two are gay, statistically speaking. Professional base- ball teams have a roster of 25 players, which would, again, put two and a half gay men on the team at any given time. I’m not entirely certain but I think if you’re a half-gay base- ball player, you’re bisexual... or a switch-hit- ter. Of course, most eye-opening of all, the ‘one-in-10’ stat means that at least one of the 12 apostles was more than likely wear- ing sandals that looked fabulous. I’m just saying. Who do you think did Jesus’s hair? Not even the son of God just rolls out of bed looking that good. If there was a gay apostle then I’m sure he kept a very revealing diary. Personally, I’d very much like to read the Gospel accord- ing to Randy. I’m sure all of us could’ve ben- efited from such stories as ‘The Parable of the Loaves and the Red Velvet Cake with the Amazing Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache’, ‘The Blind Man and the Leather Chaps’ and of course ‘The Totally Hot Samaritan’. And would Randy’s miracles be any less impressive than the rest of the group? Any- one can make a lame man walk; try keeping a house looking tidy with 12 men tromping around in dirty sandals, leaving pita crumbs all over the throw pillows. And do you think anybody notices that a person tries to make dinner a little more special by putting a sprig of fresh parsley on the hummus? It’s a mira- cle he stuck around, frankly. More importantly, do you think Jesus would’ve cared? Do you think Jesus would’ve denied him entry based on his sexual orientation? Would’ve loved him any less because God made him fabulous? Somehow I don’t think so. But perhaps I’ve got it all wrong. Perhaps the Boy Scouts are simply wiser than Jesus. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

I had the same male nurse the whole time, and he was fabulous. I have never under- stood why people feel that these jobs should be divided by gender. It is great to see a more even playing field.

I would have no problem with a male nurse looking after me if I was sick or injured, they learn the same stuff women do in school!! way to go guys! ;) View a video with Follow us on FacebookYour view on Neil’s column? du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 3 8 P facebook.com/savedotca is a division of Great coupons at Save.ca (while supplies last) Introducing our NEW Cereal!Introducing our NEW Cereal!Introducing our NEW Cereal!nicudnicudnicudnicudnicudnicudnicudnicudnicudgggggggggggggggg ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo ruo NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W C W A delicious cereal made of crispy whole grain flakes, crunchy granola bunches with the distinctive taste of Greek Yogurt,and a touch of natural honey. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 5 , 2 0 1 3 9 P Alternate versions available upon request, call 905.683.7575 City of Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.683.2760 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 Experience the new pickering.ca Allmeetingsareopen to thepublic.Fordetails call905.420.2222orvisitthe City website.For Service Disruptionnotification call1.866.278.9993.

The ‘Bad Boy’ was just that on Saturday night at the Hershey Cen- tre in Mississauga, winning the Canadian light middleweight (154 pounds) title in dramatic fashion, knocking out veteran Fitz Vanderpool at the end of the first round, sending an esti- mated crowd of 5,400 into a frenzy. And that was outside the ring. Inside, Cook and his sup- porters were in a state of jubilation, bouncing around the ring in celebration of the country’s newest boxing champion. “It’s a dream come true,” said Cook after, from the com- fort of his dressing room. “This was my dream when I first started, to be Canadian champ. “This is everything I ever wanted. I’ve come a long way from when I started. It’s unbelievable. It proves if you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything. I didn’t give up.” Cook, 26, landed a punishing right that stunned Vander- pool, 45, with less than 10 seconds remaining in the opening round, and followed it up with a devastating uppercut that sent Vanderpool crashing to the canvas. Vanderpool got to his knees, but tumbled to the mat again, rising to his feet by the count of eight, but the referee stopped the fight. While Vanderpool and his corner were animated in arguing the stoppage, Cook said it was the right thing to do. “I didn’t even feel a punch of his,” said the Ajax resident of how strong he felt, after tak- ing a month off work with the help of spon- sors in order to prepare for the opportuni- ty. “I was jut getting started. After that first round, I know I would have finished him. “If he would have came out again, he could have got seriously hurt. He’s lucky they stopped it.” Cook’s trainer, Mike Guyett, noted before the fight that his boxer had been ready for the moment all his life. Turns out it was a pro- phetic statement. “There was something I noticed in Brandon very early when meet- ing him that’s special about him that other people don’t have,” said Guyett. “I think he showed a lot of that tonight. “I feel like a sense of accomplishment. I’m more just happy for him. As well as I helped him along the way, let’s be realistic, he did all the hard work to get himself here.” Vanderpool came into the fight sporting a 26-7-4 record with 13 knockouts, accumulating six championship belts during his illus- trious career. All six of those titles were on display from his entou- rage during his entrance into the ring, accompanied by a rap group belting out his theme song, Will of a Cham- pion. His entrance into the ring lasted longer than the fight. Cook was still miffed after the fight that Vander- pool didn’t acknowledge the victory with the cus- tomary handshake, a show of respect between fighters that is timeless. “I don’t know what that was all about,” said Cook, who had Vanderpool work in his corner during a fight as an amateur. “You would think the guy would come over and shake my hand. I’ve known him for how long and he’s a little bit of a sore loser. “I still have a lot of respect for him for taking the fight. I just don’t understand why he would do that.” Vanderpool was coming off a couple of wins following a seven- year retirement from the ring. Cook, meanwhile, improved to 10-0- 0 with six knockouts, and will take a little time to ponder his next move. “I’m going to have the drive to keep going now,” he vowed. To see the video and photos, go to dur- hamregion.com. I couldn’t believe how loud it was. It was deafening. It’s never been like that. Brandon Cook on the electricity in the building before the fight. The crowd was estimated at 5,400, with Cook selling 500 tickets to fans and supporters. _ _ _ _ _ Brandon and I have a special relationship. Obviously we’re good friends. Obviously we’re boxer, coach and trainer. I do believe it goes a little bit past that. That’s something I think is very special and not many people have. Trainer Mike Guyett on the bond he has built with Brandon Cook. _ _ _ _ _ As soon as I saw (Brandon) walk out there and land that first body shot, I said game over, (Vanderpool) doesn’t want any part of Brandon. He landed another one and he didn’t want another part of him. After that all he wanted was a part of the canvas and that’s where he ended up. Strength and conditioning coach Andrew Williams.

The homes of South Asian families were targeted for break-and-enters, Durham Regional Police said. “This is not petty crime. Some homeown- ers lost over $20,000 of property in a matter of minutes,” said Detective Mark Price. Durham Regional Police held a press con- ference on Thursday, May 30 to announce the arrest of a “prolific” break-and-enter suspect and his network. Nine people have been arrested, including an Ajax woman, and there are outstanding warrants for four more, in the break-and-enter and drug ring that spanned the Greater Toron- to Area. Durham police began investigating on Nov. 28, 2012 after two homes on Snowl- ing Drive in Ajax were broken into during the day. Jewelry, cash, electronics -- and in one house all the wrapped Christmas pres- ents under the tree -- were stolen. A construction worker in the new- build neighbour- hood noticed a sus- picious man and car, and contacted police with the licence plate number. When Durham police executed a search warrant at the driver’s house later the same day, the stolen property was not there. The suspect was released on bail and the charges later withdrawn. Within a week police had access to con- struction surveillance video which showed the car parked in the neighbourhood and the suspect returning to it with a bag which he placed in the trunk. “Because he didn’t have the property on him, we decided there must be others involved,” said Detective Chris Ludlow. Durham police began a larger investi- gation, dubbed Project Nipigon, and identified 12 others who are accused of buying the stolen property, including owners of a Mississauga jewelry store. Police believe the suspect is responsible for nine break-and-enters since Novem- ber, most in Peel Region. Police say a thief was forcing the front doors open, and targeting new home sites, out of view of neighbours. Police say fami- lies of a particular ethnicity were targeted, as the suspect believed they would have more cash and jewelry in the home. Officers seized electric guitars -- one worth approximately $10,000 -- jewelry, electronics, 47 pairs of running shoes and clothing. The estimated value of the stolen property is $75,000. Police also found 27 pounds of mari- juana, worth an estimated $68,000, and $75,000 in cash. As the proceeds of crime, officers also seized the suspect’s vehicles, including a 2007 Lamborghini, and several cars of the co-accused. The total value of all the items seized is $493,000. Police said many of the items will be returned to their rightful owners. There are several stolen items whose owners have not been identified. Durham police will be reaching out to other police services to see if the items have been reported stolen in other regions. • Wrayal Dacosta, 30 of Ventura Lane in Ajax, is charged with break and enter, breaching probation, conspiracy to com- mit an indictable offense, possession of stolen property, trafficking stolen property and possession of marijuana. • Amy Sousa, Ajax, is charged with pos- session of marijuana, conspiracy to com- mit an indictable offense and breach of undertaking. Six Mississauga residents and a Bramp- ton resident also face a variety of charges in connection with the investigation. Four outstanding warrants for arrests have also been issued.

However, you only have to walk past any outdoor sports grounds to realize that this is not true. Many young people are avid athletes, ready to defend their team’s and their community’s honour, tooth and nail. It’s up to us to make the most of this youthful enthusiasm by filling the stands during local matches and ensuring that our support is loud and clear. Now that summer is here, many young people flock to play soccer, baseball, football, or other team sports. And this is not just for fun — sports can transform the lives of the children involved and enrich the lives of their families and the entire community. By playing team sports, young people incorporate physical activity into their daily lives with all the benefits that can result. They interact with their peers and learn to work as a team; they feel the power of solidarity and learn about winning and losing. All are such vital life lessons. A game can become an enjoyable family outing that is exciting and, often, free of charge. Parents can support their children in a tangible way by applauding their successes or by coaching.

Clockwise from top left: Cook waits patiently for his turn at the weigh-in the morning of the fight; the traditional bicep pose after making weight; get- ting the gloves laced up by trainer Mike Guyett; a quiet moment with Guyett and strength and condi- tioning coach Andrew Williams; making his way to the ring; the fans go crazy; the end result, dropping Vanderpool after a devastating uppercut.

The Whitby resident, who operates the Ajax-based Durham Boxing Academy, stepped back into the ring on Saturday night at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga as part of the undercard of the June 1 event entitled Quatro, and fought Jordan Smith to a four-round draw in a cruiserweight (200 pounds) fight. “It’s disappointing,” said Arthur of the decision from outside his dressing room minutes after the fight. “I guess I have to blame myself for that. You don’t want to leave it in the judge’s hands, that’s what can happen.” It was the second fight of Arthur’s profes- sional career, while Smith was making his pro debut. The judges scored the fight 39-37 Arthur, 39-37 Smith and 38-38. Arthur was returning to the ring as a pro- fessional for the first time since winning on a first-round TKO back in 2008, which followed an amateur career where he won six of his eight fights. After leaving fight- ing behind, he turned to the coaching side, but still had a yearning to get back into the ring. “For the most part I thought I kept it pret- ty close, stayed on the inside, cut the ring off, kept backing him up,” he said of execut- ing his game plan. At one point in the third round, Arthur waved Smith in with his both gloves and let out a loud howl, seemingly having fun with what was unfolding. “It’s a rush. I love it,” he said of the gesture. “That’s why I came back to it. I couldn’t get away. “It’s never easy. This is the fun part. It’s what I remember. It’s the adrenaline rush. I’m glad I got back to it.” Arthur broke from tradition during his ring entrance, balking at the idea of rap or hip hop music to be played while he made his way down a raised runway. Instead, six bagpipers emerged from behind the cur- tain, flanking both sides of the runway as Arthur made his way past. Asked if the fight had satisfied the itch to get back in the ring and his days as a fight- er were over, Arthur was quick to raise the notion that he will be back. “I still want to continue, especially after a draw.” Arthur has to settle for a drawin return to the boxing ring MISSISSAUGA -- Brock Arthur ducks a punch thrown by Jordan Smith dur- ing their fight at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga on Saturday night. The two combatants fought to a draw. ron Pietroniro / Metroland Ironheads lose sixth in a row OAKVILLE -- The losing streak continues to climb for the Ajax Ironheads. The Jr. B lacrosse club dropped its sixth game in a row Friday in Oakville, losing 13-6 to the Buzz. Falling behind and being forced to catch up continued to plague the Ironheads, who trailed 2-0 after the first period and were down 4-0 in the second period before final- ly getting on the board with a Julian Garri- tano goal. McNein Hewitt also scored in the second period, but the Ironheads came out of it down 7-2 and were outscored 6-4 in the third. Garritano would add his second of the night in the third period, while Matt Foun- tain, Cam Mancini and James Malloy had the others. A promising start to the season, coming out of the game with two wins in a row, has gone the other way ever since, as the Ironheads take a 2-6-0 record into Wednesday’s home game against the 11-1-0 Clarington Green Gaels at the Ajax Community Centre. Game time is 8 p.m. The Ironheads will spend the weekend travelling east, visiting Nepean (4-6-0) on Saturday and Gloucester (2-9-1) on Sunday.

Many add their boat to their home policy without realizingthecoverageisoftenverylimitedbycomparison. For example, a home policy will depreciate the value of the boat at the time of a claim, where as a boat policy will pay an agreed value. In addition, costs related to recovering a sunken vessel are also not covered by a home policy. Given how inexpensive it is to insure your boat separately I suggest that route to most consumers. Have an insurance related question? Feel free to contact me directly. Should I buy a separate policy for my boat or add it to my home policy? Financial Advisor SUSAN M LEPP 1105 Finch Avenue, Unit #1B Pickering, ON L1V 1J7 905-831-4611 • www.edwardjones.com How can you avoid “Overconcentration” of your Investments?A&&&&&&Q Concentration is usually helpful - but not in your investment portfolio. Any single investment,such as a stock,may sustain sizable losses over a period of time.And if that investment takes up a large part of your portfolio,you’ll feel those losses strongly. Generally speaking, you may want to limit your exposure to any single stock or bond to no more than five percent of your portfolio’s total value.Tr y to build a diversified investment mix containing stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and GICs. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help you reduce your portfolio’s volatility. To build a diversified portfolio that’s also appropriate for your individual goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you may want to consult with a financial advisor. Concentrate on your work and your personal relationships. But when it comes to your investments, try to “un-concentrate” a bit. Edward Jones, Member –Canadian Investor Protection Fund PA UL TA ALMAN If you plan on being in business for a long time then the answertothatquestionis;Always,oratleast,asoftenas possible. Most businesses that have been around a long time have probably survived because they advertised. Yo u need to advertise to gain top-of-mind-awareness. Most business sectors are very competitive and if your customers aren’t hearing about what you have to offer, they probably are hearing it from someone else. People shop from people they know.
