Broker fined $1,000
after accepting $10,000
A Pickering man who ran a mortgage
brokerage based in Ajax has been fined
$1,000 by the Ontario financial institutions
ministry for operating without a license.
Steven Yau was fined for carrying on
business as a mortgage broker without being
registered by the Registrar of Mortgage
Brokers. The fine was imposed by a
provincial court in Oakville on Dec. 1.
S'au pleaded guilty on Aug. 4 to accepting
$10.000 as a fee to arrange a mortgage for
the purchase of a hotel in Fort Erie,
Ontario. The mortgage was never arranged
and the fee was not refunded.
According to Elliot Katz, a 1
communications officer at the financial
institutions ministry, the deal was made j
during the fall of 1989. Charges were laid !
in the fall of 1991 after a complaint was j
lodged to the provincial department.
A mortgage broker's job is to arrange
financing for people. However, a broker
must be licensed so that the government an .�
oversee their activities to protect
consumers. Katz explained.
Study says job cuts by
18% of Durham employers
Sere not out of the recession vet, says a
new survey on the job market.
The employment outlook survey,
undertaken quarterly by Manpower
Temporary Servirrs, foresees a sagging job
market in Durham Region with 18 per cent
"A- C.".
A'
J'
of employers queried predicting staff
cutbacks in the first three months of 1993.
Nine per cent of those surveyed expected
to add staff while 70 per cent saw no
changes in staffing levels. 'Phe other three
per cent were unsure of their hiring plans.
The outlook is similar to one taken one
year ago, when 10 per cent of employers
asked anticipated more hiring and 18 per
cent forecasted decreases in staff.
Staff reductions this winter are expected
in construction, manufacturing and
transportation and public utilities. '.Nixed
readings are reported in wholesale/retail
trade and services.
Across the country, only three cities
surveyed reported positive results (Ottawa,
Sherbrooke and Hamilton) with 20 per cent
of employers in those cities expecting to cut
back.
The worst hit appears to be '.Montreal,
where 41 per cent of emplovers surveyed
said they expect to decrease staff.
The survey is based on telephone
interviews by Manpower field office staff.
The company tries to reach a statistically
representative sample of employers in each
city on the basis of its demographic and
business profile. Nearly 1,500 employers in
38 cities participated in the survey, which
was first initiated in 1962.

Fines amnesty offered by
Pickering libraries
The Pickering Public Library will offer a
fines amnesty from Dec. 14 to the end of the
month, prior to introducing a new set of
fines for overdue material in January.
A fines amnesty allows library users to
search their bookshelves for items which
were borrowed long ago and which may be
preventing the user from using the library
again (since missing items over a specified
amount block further use of a library card).
No questions will be asked about overdue
items during the amnesty. The amnesty
does not apply to any other charges the user
may have outstanding.
Library staff are asking that instead of
fines, users contribute a packaged (non-
perishable) food item for each overdue item.
Fwd banks this year are hard pressed and
will appreciate extra donations for the
holiday season.
Copies of the new fine schedule for
overdue items are now available in all
Pickering Libraries.

Connecting road project
cancelled by contractor
A proposal that was shrouded in secrecy
at Pickerin¢ s executive committee meeting
two weeks ago came out of the closet in
council this week.
Mayor Rayne Arthum had proposed an
Official Plan amendment cancelling
construction of a small connnecting road
near Waterford Gate. His proposal came at
the request of the local developer who is
supposed to build the road. The motion
was opposed by planning and works
departments but accepted by council after
an amendment requiring the developer to
reimburse the town for cost of the road and
property.
During delegations which spoke on the
subject, several residents said that if
Waterford Gate was going to be dosed. they
would like to see Twvn Rivers Drive closed
as well. Many said that the volume of ars
which use Twvn Rivers as an alternate to
Highway 401 are lowering quality of life on
the street.

Healthy Families TV show set to air this
By Gknn H oft
If you've got something to say
about what makes up a strong
family environment, then
Healthy Families Durham needs
your help.
The local health care
committee is putting together a
12 -part television series on
healthy families this spring —
for airing on local cable in the
fall — and needs input from the
community.
The committee seeks
volunteers to review the script in
meetings, tentatively slated for
January. Healthy Families
Durham is trying to produce a
series that presents a realistic
view of family life in t:,e region.
They're especially interested
in parents with a story to tell anc
young people with 2 message
for their peers.
"We're looking for a cross-
section of the comrm;nity whoc
be willing to provide sorra
feedback on what the progra--
should contain," said Mi..%
Ryan-Harsh.-nart, a public heath
nutr..:onist in Whitby ant
spokesman for the steering
committee
"Ideally. we'd tike ? sing:r
parent who could c ve 'he-,

person, preferably a teenage -
Also important wattle be a du-
al
career family."
"lf a teenager o• anybody
else, wants to say w'ttat makes
the family strong, wed bye to
hear from them "
The series is beinc financed
by a $100,000 gran from the
provincial health m•nistry and
wi! be produced by Maclear
Hunter Cable TV ir. Nax, in co-
operation with the committee
It wil be made available to othe-
cable companies :r she area

like ingredients for 2 healthy

programs especially for teens.
Ryan-Harshman said the
cable format is the best method
of getting to the widest audience
yn Durham Region.
"You can reach a lot of peop!e
through cable television. It's a
more useful presentation than
just going out and, meeting
people, in both quality and
numbers."
The goal of the programs,
Ryan- iwtiman explained, is to
.1 � get people thinking about what
makes up a healthy family
before they have children. But
the message will also be
important to young people and
adults who already have families.
"It will help those families be
stronger and they can pass the
information on to their kids so
they can raise healthy families,"
she said. "To steal a line from
George Bush, Ifs about family
values. Only we're doing
something about it.'
The committee will sit down
in production meetings during
the new year and will welcome
responses from anyone in the
community.

Retailer carries on corsetiere tradition
<'Amajor problem facing staff at
"- - Underlying Reasons is
convincing customers that it
takes time to provide the kind
of personalized alterations necessary to
ensure a bra is comfortable and
properly fitted.
In our fast moving culture, many
women simply want to go to a
department store and pick a bra off the
rack, nor does this benefit them in any
way. Usually this results in a bra that
comes close but doesn't really fit
properly. Too often, women are
unaware of poor fit and accept it as
normal.
The philosophy at Underlying
Reasons is the complete opposite.
Here, there are no racks of bras,
although they have well over 1,000 bras
in stock at any time. Store salespeople
called 'fitters, in other stores do little
more than fill out your order. Instead,
one woman. Michelle Lukasewycz, deals
with all the steps to ensure a proper fit
at Underlying Reasons.
Michelle was trained in England as a
corsetiere. She can measure, design and
make a bra entirely from scratch,
although it's ver-. rarely necessary. It's a
vanishing art phau-d out of existence by
the technology -f ma-- production.
But at Underlying Reasons, such
personalized service is still a living art,
and the results are evidenced by the
value. Many of Michelle's clients are
referred by doctors, because a
chronically poor -fitting bra may have
led to chronic headaches, backaches or
other ailments.
Most are repeat clients or people
recommended by others. Some visit for
a fitting from as far as Barrie,
Mississauga, Ottawa and other places in
Ontario, and as far as Montreal, in one
case. Thev have found it's worth the
time and trouble to get a proper fit.
Underlying Reasons is the only store in
Ontario that provides this kind of
custom service.
That is why it takes longer than people
expect. First, Michelle measures in
order to confirm her estimate of rib cage
size. Then she recommends styles and
features that are the right fit for your
body type. It is important to know that
a measuring tape tells very little. But
years of training and experience are the
key. There are a host of considerations
— from the placement of seams to the
placement of straps and the type of
underwire — which affect comfort and
appearance.
The approach of a trained corsetiere
is to start with the person and design

from there. It means that after your
consultation, you may get a perfectly -fit
bra immediately and take it home:
however, many bras may require custom
alterations to ensure a perfect fi'- After
the fitting, it is Michelle who makes the
alterations because that is what a
professional corsetiere is trained to do
— not just any seamstress could do the
work. Her work load is such that this
can take two to three weeks in peak
times.
The frequency of repeat customers
indicates that it is worth the wait.
It is recommended that you telephone
Underlying Reasors to arrange an
appointment. You can also visit the
store on the lower level of the Pickering
Town Centre mall, across from Young's
Jewellers. As well as the custom bra
work, the store carries a large selection
of lingerie, sleepwear and hosiery.

Elvis (sort of)
He struts on stage dressed in a
white, frilled jump suit, sporting his
trademark long sideburns, slicked -
back dark hair and those bright tinted
sunglasses.
The crowd erupts in spontaneous
applause as he swaggers on stage amid
a splash of pyrotechnics. Everyone
has come to see and hear the King,
and Billy Can, a professional Elvis
Presley impersonator, isn't going to
disappoint them.
It's a typical performance.
This isn't the real Elvis, of course,
but Billy Can is on a quest to bring
back the legend to a legion of fans.
And while he may not be the genuine
article, audiences across North
America obviously believe he's pretty
close to the real thing.
Can, a native of Madison,
Tennessee, is one of the best of the
Elvis clones anywhere and will be
appearing at Rock -A -Billies Road
House at the McKenzie Plaza in Ajax.
He's been doing his remarkable
comes to Ajax
tribute for 15 years, and admits he's
been a fan of the King since his
childhood.
However, Can is adamant about his
role as an entertainer in his own right.
He considers his act a dignified tribute
to Elvis and not an impersonation.
Despite the claim, Can bears a
striking physical resemblance to Elvis
when he is in costume.
When talking, he doesn't try to
sound like the late, great crooner, but
when Can sings old favorites like
Jailhouse Rock or The Wonder of
You, it's hard not to believe you're
hearing the real Elvis.
Can has toured the show
throughout Europe, Japan and North
America, drawing on all phases of
Elvis' career including gospel, country
and rock and roll. The performer
admits he tries to make each show
different and fans can expect to be
pleasantly surprised at the Dec. 12
show in Ajax. For more information

Look at software, then buy the computer
W, hat's the smartest way to buy a
home computer?
According to Paul Parker,
owner of A Plus Software in Pickering, you
might want to consider purchasing your
software before deciding on a system. That
way, you won't make the all -too -common
mistake of getting more computer (and
paying a lot more money) than you
bargained for.
'It used to be that you bought a computer
and then you looked for the software.'
Parker said during a recent interview. 'A
better idea is to look at software and then
buy the computer to run it.'
'More and more people are becoming
aware of thin idea and many are coming in
here before they go to a computer store.'
Having spent a large part of his life as a
computer expert. Parker clearly knows what
he's talking about. He's worked at virtually
every computer specialist job imaginable
since graduating from the University of I
Waterloo in 1974.
His stints during his career with major
computer suppliers have included such tasks
as system engineering, branch and region
managing, data product marketing, systems
managing and customer service.
Parker and two other partners opened
their A Plus Software store in the plaza on
the north side of Highway 2 and Vary Farm
_.._ _.
PW
Road three years ago and have enjoyed
tremendous success since then. The partners
are down to two and the store recently
relocated from its 1,500 sq. ft. site to a larger
3,200 sq. ft. location in the same plaza.
The Pickering A Plus store specializes in
IBM software and stocks more than 600
software products and 300 accessories.
While Parker doesn't sell computers, he and
his staff are constantly asked for their advice
on equipment types.
"We're asking people to consider IBM
equipment because it's becoming so
competitively priced," he said. 'IBM
systems are often lower priced than many of
the more expensive clones. I believe that the
better computer a person has, the less
problems they are going to have. It also
helps us too if people have a system they
need and trust.'
While changing technology makes it
difficult to keep abreast of the latest
equipment and supplies, Parker admitted
many people opt for the newest computers
and products available.
'A lot of people are buying things — more
than they really need — just to have the
latest.' He equates this trend to those who
buy the latest model automobiles. It's
become a matter of status for some — like
owning the newest innovation in automobile
enoneering, he said with a laugh.
But it's a buyer's market in the business of
home computer sales these days. Parker
cited the example of IBM, a company that is
catering more to the rapidly expanding home technical jargon and 'buzz words' used by
computer field by offering lower priced people in the industry,' he added,
equipment. explaining even more simplification is
A Plus offers more than 600 software products
And while home computers can store more
information, process information quicker
and generally are capable of doing much
more than ever before, the software has
become much easier to use.
'User friendliness is the most important
quality in software,' Parker said. "People
don't need to be experts anymore. The
easier software is to use, the more people like
it.'
'However, I still feel there's too much
needed.
The field of home computers is on the
verge of exploding, Parker said. He predicts
that similar to modern conveniences like
microwave ovens and VCRs, home
computers will be an equally common
household item.
'In the United States home computer use
is exploding — it's massive; he said. '1'm
hoping that we (in Canada) follow the trend.
don't see any reason why we wouldn't.'

PACT willing to hear compensation offers
The Interim Waste Authority
PWA) is offering property value
compensation, as part of an
Impact management plan, to
residents affected by a future
landfill site in Durham Region.
Lloyd Thomas, chairman of
Pickering -Ajax Citizens Together
for the environment (PACT),
said his group is wing to listen
to offers.
The IWA is a crown agency of
the Ontario government
responsible for choosing new
dump sites for Durham, York
and Peel Regions. Four of the
five sites on the agency's short
list for Durham Region are in
Pickering.
IWA chairman Walter Phrrm
announced last week he will
welcome discussion with
individuals and municipalities
about the possible impact landfill
sites will have. Pitman said he
hopes the discussion paper will
open dialogue and get public
feedback-
Landowners
eedbackLandowners in an affected
area will be cornpensated using
the Ontario Expropriations Act
which provides for the purchase
of property at market value pkis
payment of selling and moving
costs.
Thomas said Monday that he
hasn't seen the whole document
but hopes it will have "teeth in
it" to ensure residents are fairly
compensated. Many residents in
the Whitevale area — home to
three sites on the short list —
had their lands expropriated in
the 1970s and are now renters.
He wants a fund established
for a citizens group to monitor
land and water quality at the
new dump "because at some
point in time were going to be
drinking leachate from our
wells."
Thomas, whose group has
been fighting plans to put
another dump site in Pickering
for years, called it a frustrating
process adding that just because
PACT is willing to hear the
compensation offer, it doesn't
mean his group is giving up.
"We're not resigned to the
dump coming here. We'll still be
fighting this to the end," he
said. "But the reality is
somebody, somewhere in
Durham is going to get the
landfill site. And we want to
make sure (residents) get the
best package available. We are
fighting for everyone in
Durham."
Thomas also said PACT and
11 other residents associations
in Pickering, Markham and
Scarborough have formed a
coalition to protect provincial
lands from future dumps.
"We've got to take a stand.
We've got to tell the government
they can't dump on these lands.
We want to make a very loud
statement," he said. "Dumps
are not the answer."
Durham West MPP Jim
Wiseman, who has taken on the
fight to stop Pickering from
being dumped -on right into the
provincial legislature against his
own, government, said residents
should take the opportunity to
respond to the Ws request for
public feedback.
"Sone might think that if they
get involved they would be seen
as giving up the fight...but if
there is compensation to be had,
it would be foolish not to be
in�," he said_ "And if the
dump doesn't come (to
Pickering) they can feel good
about the contributions they
have made."
