Durham Regional Police say she was nine months pregnant. Her husband, Nicholas Tyler Baig, 25, was arrested Saturday evening in Markham. Killing of pregnant Ajax womansparks legal discussion of unborn Should there be legal protection for unborn children? Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The killing over the weekend of a pregnant woman in Pickering has sparked discussion over a perceived absence of legal protection for unborn children. Durham police have charged Nicholas Tyler Baig with second- degree murder in the stabbing death of his wife, 27-year-old Arianna Goberdhan, who was found without vital signs by offi- cers responding to a report of a domestic disturbance at a home on Winville Drive Friday, April 7. Police have confirmed that Goberdhan was nine-months pregnant, and that the child did not survive. Baig, 25, remains in custo- dy; he is scheduled to appear in Oshawa court by video Thursday. Police continue to consult with the Crown about what charge Baig will ultimately face, Const. George Tudos said.

Maude Lipsett, 14, is a Grade 9 student at St. Stephen Catholic Secondary School in Bowmanville and was there with 17 of her classmates. “It’s been a truly amazing experience,” she said in an interview from the April 9 ceremo- ny. “I’ve felt a bit of every emotion possible — very sad, very moving, very inspiring.” Lipsett said the experience has been especially personal, because her group was able to briefly visit the grave of her great- uncle Patrick Alexander Nostall, who is bur- ied in Belgium. “That was very emotional for me,” she says. St. Stephen teachers Rob Morrison and Bryan Landry have been planning the trip since September 2015. Speaking from the Vimy ceremony, Mor- rison said it was “amazing” to see it all come together and watch the students experience such a historic moment. He said actors reading wartime letters and diary entries during the ceremony was espe- cially moving, as were visits to cemeteries. “I think it hit home for the students, the enormity of what happened here 100 years ago.” About 1,000 students from 18 schools in Durham were in France for the 100th anni- versary. The Government of Canada hosted the April 9 ceremony, which was attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gov. Gen. David Johnston, members of the British Royal Family and the leaders of France, Belgium and the U.K. An estimated 25,000 Canadians were there, including 12,000 youth. The anniversary also included the unveiling of the new state-of-the-art Vimy Visitor Education Centre at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Lipsett said being in France for the anniversary has given her a new appre- ciation for the material she has learned at school. “It has definitely deepened my thought process about the war and why it hap- pened,” she said. “It’s just made everything at school so much more clear.” The 100th anniversary was marked locally as well. On Sunday morning, Vimy Ridge P.S. in Ajax hosted a ceremony at its flagpole that included bagpipes, a choir performance and the laying of wreaths. Attendees were then able to watch a broadcast of ceremonies in Ottawa and France, from the school gym. Other local events included a service hosted by the Port Perry Legion and a Vimy Ridge concert in Whitby Saturday night. Durham teen says being at Vimy 100th anniversary in France ‘truly amazing’ Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland AJAX -- Gene Haseaker, treasurer of the Ontario Command Canadian Corps Association, gave remarks during a ceremony to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge hosted by Vimy Ridge Public School on April 9. The school invited the community to gather at the flagpole for a ceremony featuring the last post, rev- eille, a lament on bagpipes, a three-round volley, and a choir performance before the laying of wreaths. Immediately after the ceremony, refreshments were served in the gym where a broadcast of the ceremonies from Ottawa and France were viewed. 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 • Ap r i l 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 3 P Tracy MacCharles,MPP Pickering-Scarborough East Email: tmaccharles.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org Web: www.tracymaccharles.onmpp.ca Easter!Easter!Have a HappyEaster!

Some readers responding to coverage of the incident have expressed opinions that charges ought to be laid against individu- als accused of offences that harm unborn children. “It shouldn’t even be a discussion on if he should get a second charge or not. He killed two people,” contributor Jenn Lynn Ware wrote on the Newsdurham Facebook page. “I sure hope they charge him with two counts of murder,” responded Anne Can- navan. “That poor baby’s life matters even though s/he wasn’t born yet.” The incident — and the visceral response to the allegations — indicate a will among Canadians for laws that make it an offence to harm unborn children, said Cathay Wagantall, a Conservative MP from Saskatchewan. Last fall Wagantall’s Bill C-225, dubbed Cassie and Molly’s Law in memory of a pregnant Windsor woman who was murdered, was defeated in the Liberal-dominated House of Commons. Wagantall said her private member’s bill addressed the absence of Criminal Code protection for unborn children. “There’s not a recognition of the value of that child in our legal system. There’s a gap in our law,” Wagantall said. “You’re not considered a human being in Canada until you’re fully born.” Wagantall said her bill stalled because it was perceived as a potential infringement on abortion rights. But she insists the pro- posed law was meant to address criminal acts by a third party. “The sad thing about this law is that it keeps getting hung up in that issue,” she said. A poll of 1,000 Canadians — just three per cent of whom identified as pro-life — indicated 70 per cent of respondents sup- ported the proposed legislation, Wagantall said. “That to me clarifies that people see the value of human life in the womb,” she said. “(The response) is very much emo- tional, yes. But there’s also an understand- ing we should be protecting that woman and the child she chose to carry to term.” Goberdhan’s killing appears to be exact- ly the kind of incident Bill C-225 attempted to address, Wagantall said. “Her baby was nine months,” the MP said. “That child was viable.” In a somewhat different circumstance, Toronto police have declared their inten- tion to pursue a homicide charge in the death of a child delivered by C-section after his mother’s murder. No one has yet been arrested for the death of Candice Rochelle Bobb, a pas- senger in a car that was targeted in a drive- by shooting on May 15, 2016. A premature child, named Kyrie, was delivered follow- ing the shooting, but died three weeks later. CANADIANS from page 1 Canadians favour protection of unborn children from criminal acts Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- Durham Regional Police vehicles at 1603 Winville Rd. where Arianna Goberdhan, 27, of Ajax, was found dead on April 7. Police say she was nine months pregnant. Her husband, Nicholas Tyler Baig, 25, was arrested in Markham April 8. 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 • Ap r i l 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 4 P Andrew Smith made the cut when list of candidates narrowed to 32 Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON — When Andrew Smith was a kid growing up on a small farm north of Kingston, becoming an astronaut wasn’t something he gave much thought to. But as he went on to study engineering — most recently completing a PhD in aeronautics and astronautics from Stan- ford University — the Clarington resident realized he’s a great fit for space exploration. “It’s what I was meant to do,” he says. So far, the Canadian Space Agency agrees. Smith is one of 32 candidates to make it through the latest round of cuts in the agency's current astronaut recruitment campaign. The search kicked off in June 2016 with a call for applica- tions. In February, the top 72 candidates were put through an initial series of aptitude tests, which covered everything from physical fitness and critical thinking skills, to teamwork. Some of the requirements included swimming at least 250 metres in 10 minutes, treading water for at least 10 minutes, completing obstacle courses and participating in catastrophe simulations. In March, the number of candidates in the running was pared down to 32. “I’m just honoured to be a part of it,” says Smith, 36, who lives in Hampton and works as the product development and engineering manager at Gumstix Research Canada. “It’s been awesome meeting all these exceptionally smart and tal- ented people.” In addition to his education and work experience, Smith says he would do well in space because of his love for hands- on learning. “I like taking things apart, learning how they work, fixing them and putting them back together. In my spare time I like to fix cars and TVs and washing machines,” he says, describ- ing himself as “an engineer at heart.” He also enjoys talking to kids and inspiring them to follow their dreams — an important quality for astronauts, who are regularly required to do public speaking and motivate stu- dents to pursue studies in science, technology, engineering and math. Smith has been getting in some practice with appearances at local schools, most recently chatting with Grade 6 students at Holy Family C.S. in Bowmanville. The Canadian Space Agency won’t say how many candi- dates will make it to the next round, or what upcoming test- ing will look like, noting on its website that the information is “confidential.” Even the candidates themselves are largely kept in the dark. “It’s a waiting game. You’re always eagerly awaiting more news,” Smith says. Since 1983, 12 Canadians have been selected to become astronauts. Ten of them are now retired, leaving two active Canadian astronauts — Jeremy Hansen and David Saint-Jacques. The Canadian Space Agency’s last recruitment campaign took place between 2008 and 2009; before that there were two others in 1992 and 1983. The current 32 candidates in the running come from com- munities across Canada and include 11 women and 21 men. There are university lecturers, physicians, military officers and scientists in the mix, as well as a pilot-in-training, soft- ware developer and post-doctoral fellow. According to the Canadian Space Agency, an astronaut’s salary ranges from $91,300 at the entry level, to $178,400 for someone who has successfully completed a space mission. Canada’s two newest astronauts will be announced this summer, with basic training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas set to begin in August. Durham resident in running to be one of Canada’s next astronauts Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland CLARINGTON -- Andrew Smith is a Clarington resident who is in the running to be an astronaut with the Canadian Space Agency. He has just made it to the next round of the recruitment process and was at Holy Family Catholic School to talk to Grade 6 students about his experience so far. Keith Gilligan KGilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There was nothing Durham Regional Council could do but “suck it up” and approve it. The ‘it’ is a new 10-year agreement with Metrolinx that could cost the region millions of dollars over a decade. However, if the region didn’t sign on to the agreement, Durham would lose provincial gas tax funding, which is now $8.3 million annually, but is slated to increase to $15.8 million in 2021/22. The agreement deals with expansion of the Presto fare collection method in Durham and other transit systems in the GTA, including the TTC and GO Transit, and the Otta- wa transit system. In addition to turning over revenue collected through the Presto systems, the transit systems in the 905 would have to pay for capital costs to expand the Presto meth- od. The TTC wouldn’t have to pay capital costs for Presto devices. Over the course of 10 years, Durham would have to turn over about $20.8 million to Metrolinx to cover some of the Presto costs. According to a staff report: “The terms of the agreement in principle will result in significant operating and capital cost increases for DRT over the next 10 years.” Metrolinx has also made participation in Presto manda- tory. During a meeting of regional council’s committee of the whole on April 5, Oshawa councillor Dan Carter said: “There’s one set of rules for the 416 and rest of us just have to suck it up.” Clarington councillor Willie Woo noted: “It seems the 905 is always being kicked to the curb and Toronto is being looked after. In my case, that’s unfair and we should be treated fairly.” Oshawa councillor Amy McQuaid-England said negoti- ating didn’t happen in this case. “We were told and threat- ened with the gas tax if we don’t proceed.” Chief Administrative Officer Garry Cubitt said: “Any sense that Metrolinx is coming to the table with addition- al money, they have made it very clear that’s a non-start- er. They are not coming to the table with any additional money.” Cubitt added: “There’s no question they were severely limited. They were given their marching orders. Key aspects of the agreement weren’t open to negotiations.” The motion voted on originally included a clause call- ing on Presto to cover 50 per cent of the cost of the device refresh program. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said that clause “wouldn’t fly” with Metrolinx or the province. “I don’t think we want to be the one that doesn’t approve the agreement,” he said. “I’m pretty sure it’s a non-starter.” Regional councillors are hoping to have a representative from Metrolinx attend a meeting to explain its reasoning.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 our opinion column Nuclear power is not cheaper than water power from Quebec, Ontario Clean Air Alliance says To the editor: Re: ‘Try to solve the most difficult prob- lems, OPG CEO advises UOIT students’, news, March 23 According to the president of Ontar- io Power Generation (OPG) Jeff Lyash, nuclear power, at 6.6 cents per kWh, is cheaper than water power from Quebec. Not so. Last year Ontario signed a seven-year contract with Hydro Quebec to import clean and safe water power for only 5 cents per kWh. More importantly, OPG is seeking to raise its price of nuclear power to 16.5 cents per kWh to pay for extending the life of its high-cost Pickering Nuclear Station and to rebuild Darlington’s aging nuclear reactors. So there is no question which is the lower cost option for keeping our lights on, even if that answer may not square with OPG’s interests. Jack Gibbons Chair, Ontario Clean Air Alliance Toronto lETTEr To THE EDiTor How to submit a letter to the editor: Mail 865 Farewell St., Oshawa, l1H 6N8 EMail newsroom@durhamregion.com FaX 905-579-2238 A tip of the cap to two Durham dentists and a service club which have combined to transform an Oshawa woman’s life in a meaningful, beautiful way. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Sheri Margolian and Dr. Mark Bishara, who own Bowmanville Family Dental and Margolian Dentistry in Whitby, and the Bowmanville Rotary Club, Allison Bunt now possesses a million-dollar smile thanks to a dental makeover. The dental work to give Bunt — a 28-year-old mother of two — her new smile would normally cost about $25,000. It was offered for free, however, from the two Durham dentists, along with DLA Lab- oratories, and a $4,000 donation from the Bowmanville Rotary Club, which helped cover the cost of parts. “Allison is so young, we knew it was going to make such a big difference to her quality of life,” Margolian said. Prior to the surgery, Bunt was in a tough situation — many of her teeth were rotted or missing, making it painful to eat and even harder to be confident meeting new people or going on job interviews. “I think that was the sole reason I was unable to find a job,” said Bunt of the hard- ship she experienced before her dental surgery. “People wouldn’t say anything, but I could always tell they were looking at my teeth.” Now, following a full year of dental sur- gery that involved many hours of work, including pulling 22 teeth — all the ones on top and all the back ones on the bottom — as well as putting in implants, snap-in dentures and crowns, Bunt’s life is begin- ning to brighten along with her smile. “I feel amazing,” she says. “This has changed everything for me.” She now has a job working in logistics and operations, and plans to go back to school to study that field. And Margolian and Bishara are not done helping people in need in Durham with their pro bono work. The local den- tists are planning to hold their next free dental day sometime in May. They are usu- ally able to treat about 50 patients, pro- viding the choice of a cleaning, filling or extraction at no cost. And, a candidate for this year’s complete smile makeover will also be chosen in the coming months. It speaks to the best of society when people give back and Margolian and Bis- hara are such a wonderful example of this. They deserve our heartfelt thanks and recognition for their kind and generous efforts. A generous gift of a smile is a great gift indeed Upcoming book releases, soon-to- be published papers, community-based research, international study, gambling, and Mayan royal palaces comprise some of the fascinating research outcomes shared at “Behind the Classroom: Research pre- sentations from Trent professors and stu- dents,” a research-based event that was held at Trent University Durham — GTA on April 6. Faculty members and students across numerous disciplines such as; anthropol- ogy, business administration, English lit- erature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and communications and critical thinking proved that hands-on research is a vital component of the learning experience at Trent’s Durham campus. The annual event, which included many undergraduate students, was co-organized by Dr. Helen Haines, professor of anthro- pology and Dr. Rita Bode, professor of Eng- lish literature and was both enlightening and impressive. The event reflected campus learning that extends far beyond the classroom. Students are learning that academics are engaged in larger research that’s affecting the world and that they are thinking in terms of their own future, research opportunities, ave- nues for research in terms of senior theses, or perhaps even graduate school. Students at the undergraduate level also participated in Research Day and many presented research that they have been working on with the help of, and even in tandem with their professors — a unique feature of the Trent Durham experience. Collecting data, learning how to conduct research, developing a hypothesis, writing a paper, and presenting their findings to a group of their peers and instructors — the experiential learning was palpable, their research was solid and the presentations were remarkable. The students were very clearly passionate about their field of study, confident in their research and well pre- pared for their futures. It was all very inspir- ing. As another academic year comes to a close, it is a good time to reflect back on the ways in which our students and fac- ulty strive to question, probe, analyze and investigate as part of their learning and scholarship here at Trent. It is impressive to witness such great minds at work. Research Day is one of many different hands-on learning experiences offered to students at Trent.

Julie and Bill L.Whitby PICKERING — One woman is in criti- cal condition and three other people were injured after a couch fell from a vehicle onto Hwy. 401 Friday night. OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said a two-car crash happened in the westbound col- lector lane just west of Whites Road in Pickering at about 10 p.m. on April 7. He said a couch fell from a vehicle onto the highway, causing the car behind it to swerve, and be hit by another car. A 61-year-old woman was critical- ly injured and is “fighting for her life,” Schmidt said Saturday morning, while three other people suffered less serious injuries. “Make sure your loads are properly secured, we don’t want to see this kind of thing happen,” he added. Right lanes were blocked for sever- al hours while the scene was cleared and police investigated. All lanes were re-opened by around 2 a.m. Saturday morning.

Third annual Durham College competition brings hungry crowd to Centre for Food Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com WHITBY— For die hard fans of maca- roni and cheese, there is no wrong way to make the dish. “Any kind of mac n' cheese is good mac n' cheese,” says Oshawa resident Callie Ellerd, 16, who was in comfort food heaven at Durham College’s third annual Epic Mac N' Cheese Competition on April 8. The event saw local Grade 11 and 12 students square off at DC's W. Galen Weston Centre for Food in Whitby, com- peting to whip a winning combination of cheesy pasta. Attendees got to taste test the results — which included ingredients such as smoked ham, broccoli, crab and chives — and vote on a winner. Ellerd, who hopes to attend culinary classes at the Centre for Food after high school, said it was all delicious, but threw her support behind a mac ’n cheese with pulled pork. “I like the idea of putting two really big flavours together,” she said. Each team was tasked with choosing a noodle, cheese and protein, then dress- ing up their dish with pantry items — all while racing against the clock. “They learn real life skills, like how to adapt in a high stress environment,” says Kolleen Brunton, a professor of hospi- tality and special events at Durham Col- lege, and one of the competition orga- nizers. In the end, it was a culinary creation made by two students from Father Leo J. Austin CSS in Whitby, that was the crowd favourite. Grade 12 students Griffin Van Winden and Katelyn Gajadar opted for a win- ning combination of rigatoni noodles, goat cheese and sausage, complimented with roasted red peppers and parmesan cheese. “I love to cook…I thought this would be really cool and fun,” said Gajadar. Both she and Van Winden plan to study at the Durham College Centre for Food next year, and scored bursaries for winning the Epic Mac N Cheese Compe- tition. Tyler Sweeting, a first-year culinary management student at DC, acted as a mentor for the winning team and says having to work with the ingredients on hand and make quick adaptations was a good experience for the high school stu- dents. “I think they learned a lot.” Durham students get creative at Epic Mac N’ Cheese event Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Jordan Lyons, left, and Rohmell Brown, students at Sinclair Secondary School, served their dish during the annual Epic Mac N’ Cheese competition hosted by Durham College at the W.

WE�VE �R�WN ���VE�! www.maritimetravel.ca 96@maritimetravel.ca Local dentists Sheri Margolian, Mark Bishara offer free dental days, annual smile makeover Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — For years, Allison Bunt was self-conscious when she smiled. Many of her teeth were rotted or miss- ing, making it painful to eat and even harder to be confident meeting new peo- ple or going on job interviews. “I think that was the sole reason I was unable to find a job,” says Bunt, 28, an Oshawa resident and mom of two. “Peo- ple wouldn’t say anything, but I could always tell they were looking at my teeth.” Enter local dentists Dr. Sheri Margo- lian and Dr. Mark Bishara. For the past few years, the local cou- ple — who own West Bowmanville Fam- ily Dental and Margolian Dentistry in Whitby — have offered twice yearly free dental days, and provided one person a year with a free, complete smile make- over. When they heard Bunt’s story, she was an obvious pick for the 2016 makeover. “Allison is so young, we knew it was going to make such a big difference to her quality of life,” Margolian says. The work took a full year, just wrap- ping up a few weeks ago. It involved pulling 22 teeth — all the ones on top and all the back ones on the bottom — as well as putting in implants, snap-in dentures and crowns. Dental work of that magnitude would normally cost about $25,000, which Bunt says she would never have been able to afford on her own. Thanks to her new smile, she now has a job working in logistics and operations, and plans to go back to school to study that field. “I feel amazing,” she says, flashing a huge grin. “This has changed everything for me.” The smile makeover was made possi- ble by free labour from the dentists and DLA Laboratories, and a $4,000 dona- tion from the Bowmanville Rotary Club, which helped cover the cost of parts. Bishara, who is a Rotary member, says he hopes Bunt’s story will inspire local residents to support the club by becom- ing members, attending fundraising events like Bowmanville’s Rockin’ Rotary Ribs and Brews, or making a donation. The local dentists are planning to hold their next free dental day sometime in May. They are usually able to treat about 50 patients, providing the choice of a clean- ing, filling or extraction at no cost. A candidate for this year’s complete smile makeover will also be chosen in the coming months. Follow West Bowmanville Dental or Margolian Dentistry on Facebook for updates on the next free dental day, and visit www.funditclarington.com to make a donation to the Rotary Club of Bowmanville.

Husband-and-wife dental team Dr. Mark Bishara and Dr. Sheri Margolian provided Allison Bunt with a complete life-changing dental make- over. Allison received a $25,000 dental makeover with partial funds coming from the Rotary Club of Bowmanville program. 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 • Ap r i l 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 10 AP Visit us at OK Tire Pickering on the web!

Let’s start at the begin- ning. In order to get a firearms license, an individual must take and successfully pass a feder- ally mandated firearms safety course, two courses in the case of many of those who would be using the new facility. Once those have been com- pleted, the individual must sub- mit an application for review to the RCMP. The RCMP run in depth background checks on each applicant to ensure he/ she has no criminal background or history of mental instability. These checks include contact- ing family members and refer- ences directly, and are ongo- ing once the licence has been issued. The only Canadians issued a firearms license are those who are not criminals, or have histo- ry of mental instability and have been given a stamp of approv- al from the RCMP and then the local Chief Firearms Office. The firearms to be used at the proposed range must, while being transported to and from a range, be unloaded, have a trig- ger lock, be placed in a locked container and stored in the trunk of the vehicle. They can- not be removed from the vehi- cle until they have arrived on range property and they can- not be removed from the locked container until they are on the range. After going through all of that just to be able to participate in a sport, accidents like those implied by Mr. Wallace don’t happen — when we mess up, we are charged with federal crimes, which means jail time — not fines — so we take our respon- sibilities very seriously. While Mr. Wallace’s concerns are respected and appreciat- ed, and are likely felt similarly by others within the commu- nity — rest assured that to date, in Ontario, there have been no dangerous or illegal occurrenc- es reported to law enforcement resulting from lawful firearm owners possessing, transporting and using their chosen firearms at range facilities. It is truly one of the safest sports in all of Can- ada! The local pubs and bars possess greater risks to public safety, especially within their respective communities, than any firearm shooting range.

And while it can be a very exciting step to take as a family, it can also be a very stress- ful change full of hard decisions and mixed emotions. “My advice to parents to make the transi- tion easier for the kids would be to include them in the process,” said Patti Robertson, sales representative for Royal Service Real Estate. “Depending on the ages of the chil- dren, you should discuss ahead of time that you are going to be moving and once you have decided on a home, bring the kids for a walk through so they can get excited about the planning of the new home.” Robertson suggests families begin with a wish list that suits the entire family. Depending on the age of the children and the size of the family, needs will vary but finding a home that does cater to those needs is key. “If you have younger children, a large fenced yard might be important to you while the handy person of the house may require a double garage with lots of stor- age,” she said. “A house of teenagers may require multiple bathrooms or a finished basement, families should decide ahead of time what’s important and make a list to help keep those ideas fresh while looking at homes.” Once the perfect house is chosen, Rob- ertson suggests packing begin before clos- ing day to avoid more stress as moving day approaches. Getting the entire fam- ily involved can make the process more fun and easier on younger members of the family to understand and prepare for what is to come. Parents can purchase bins that their kids can decorate to pack their own items and toys that aren’t used daily, said Robertson. Families can also use the opportunity to donate any clothing or toys that they have outgrown, which can also be a fun learning experience for kids, she added. “Moving from a home with lots of great memories can be challenging for kids, especially if it’s the only home they have ever lived in,” she said. “I would include the kids and bring them for a walk through before closing so they can envision their new space and maybe even share in some decorating ideas for their new room.” When relocating to a new town, par- ents should register their children in their new schools as soon as possible. Families should ideally set up one or two visits to the school prior to the first day to help the new students with the transition. “If your children are involved in sports or other activities it’s a great idea to enroll them early as this will give them an oppor- tunity to meet new friends in the area.” Added Robertson. “Take some time to check out the local amenities that are avail- able as well.” And once everyone is settled, most of the boxes are unpacked and the beds are set up, ready for their sleepy new tenants, it may not be that easy for the little ones to call it a day and get a good sleep in their new, unfamiliar home. According to Certified infant and tod- dler sleep consultant, Holly Jefferd, pre- schoolers and toddlers can suffer from a decreased appetite, more anxiety, regres- sive behavior, protesting at bedtime and hesitation going to sleep after moving to a new home. Old habits may also resurface such as bed-wetting, thumb sucking and a need for a favorite blanket, she said. “Kids are really smart and we need to prepare them for what’s to come,” said Jef- ferd. “ Bring the children to the new house, show them their new room and allow them to pick the paint colour and a new bed- spread, really get them involved in the pro- cess as it’s an anxious time for everyone 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 • Ap r i l 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 15 AP Eat In•Take Out Catering Fully Licensed Buffet Daily at Lunch and Sundays5pm-9pm www.mounteverestajax.ca Take-out ordersof$20or more beforetax,when payingwithCASH!RE C E I V E10%O F F 611 Kingston Rd.W.In Pickering Village At Church, S.W.

Home is where the toys are See OUR page 17 If you have younger children, a large fenced yard might be important to you. Patti Robertson “ Moving? Spring cleaning? here’s a list to get started 1. Pens, Post-its and notepads — If you can go shopping in your house for office sup- plies it may be time to let go of some. A great option is to donate them to your local school. 2. Tapes/CDs/DVDs — Outdated media materials that sit on a shelf and collect dust aren’t doing you any favours and clutter up your house quick. 3. Anything broken or that needs to be repaired — Unless you have it scheduled in your calendar and will be doing it right away that item will likely not get fixed. 4. The box that has been in your basement since you moved in, insert number of years here! 5. Extra coffee mugs and travel cups — Usually these are one of our most used items. 6. Rarely used kitchen appliances — Do you have an appliance you never use? This can go. Donate it if it’s still in good condition and if it’s not then toss it. 7. Old sheets and bedding – If it’s been well used its time to get rid of it. 8. Socks that don’t match — Sure, they are probably in the house somewhere but look- ing for them is a huge time waster. 9. Repurposed gifts — Have a friend or neighbour that offers you all their old stuff and is just such a nice person but your home gets cluttered up in return? 10. Clothes that don’t fit — I’m a big believer in getting rid of clothes that don’t fit. Love the skin you are in and dress for today. 11. Toys that your kids no longer play with — Especially right before birthdays or holi- days. 12. Kid school art — There may be things that you want to keep and that’s okay but if we kept everything our kids brought home from school our house would be over run. If you really feel you need to keep it, snap a photo and then recycle it. 13. Old spices in your pantry — Spices don’t actually expire but they do lose their freshness over time 14. Anything that does not serve a purpose in your daily life — Have skates but don’t skate? Baking supplies but don’t bake? 15. Junk drawer mystery items and per- haps most of the drawer too. 16. Tupperware — Whatever doesn’t match needs to go 17. Extra renovation materials — Did you redo your kitchen/bathroom/basement 10 years ago and still have leftover material from it? 18. Outdated décor — Have things that you no longer display or decorate with? 19. College and university school books — If you haven’t opened them since you left school the odds are you probably aren’t going to. 20. Almost empty skincare, make up or cleaning products — A good use of 15 min- utes is to go through the house and get rid of all of the obvious garbage. — Laura Watts is a Professional Organizer and entrepreneur behind Double Take Orga- nizing, a professional organizing company serving Durham and the GTA.

FOCUS ON FAMILY FOCUS ON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE and emotions are high.” And before any boxes are unpacked, first priority should be getting your child’s new room set up and ready for the night ahead. If possible, Jefferd recommends having the child sleep over at their grand parents house or at a friends to ensure they don’t pick up on parental stress while being sur- rounded by moving day chaos. “Kids can feel the anxiousness so have them go somewhere for the night so it is calm when they come home and every- thing feels similar,” she said. “During the first few days be gentle, it’s a huge transi- tion on them so take a step back, comfort them and make them part of the home again.” Jefferd recommends a sound machine in the child’s room to drown out the unfa- miliar sounds of the new home during the night. Parents should also avoid washing the child’s sheets before moving as well as cleaning the new house with strong, new fragrances. “We want to be loving and comforting to let them know you are there but parents also need to keep firm and follow the same rules as the old house.” For mom of two, sales representative for Coldwell Banker Kristy Kiff, who recently moved into a new home, including the kids in the process is crucial. “Never make a sudden move and always prepare them for what’s to come,” she said. “Allow the kids to be honest and listen to their thoughts and opinions as a move is almost always hard on kids, we need to be sensitive to that.” According to Kiff, families should con- sider what schools their kids will be attend- ing after the move, neighborhood safety, daycare and after school programs, size of property, an exterior fence for children and interior and exterior storage. “Our kids should always be an impor- tant factor when considering a move,” she added. “Sometimes moving to a new home can be necessary without much choice or option but always make your kids feel apart of the decision and allow them to feel the rollercoaster of emotions involved, always set them up for success in their new surroundings.” -- Jennifer Walker, previously a reporter for Metroland Media is now enjoying freelance writing from home with her daughters Frankie and Finn, living out her dream of being a wife, mother, daughter, friend and writer.
