Foodbank helps
hungry'
students'
By Genn Hendry I
Ifs a crime that in our seemingly affluent society there are
people who go hungry.
It's an offense that is even harder to swallow when it's young
people who have to struggle every day to get enough to eat. At
Harwood Secondary School in Ajax, the staff and students vowed
.o do something about it. Two years ago, they did-
Since
idSince December 1990 the school has run a food bank with a
mandate to help needy students as well as members of the
community. At least 85 per cent of the food, as well as cbthing
and toys donated, canes directly from Harwood students, many
of whom are needy thernsehes.
And with the Ontario economy still locked in the grips of a
recession, the students have dug even deeper into their own
meagre resources to keep up with the growing demand
[Nadia Municella, a teacher who helped establish the food
bank, said the idea started out as a one-time food drive. ft s now
a year --round effort.
'In the eegimrung 1 thought of ft as a school project becatae we
nave so many students here who are on welfare or social
assistance; she told The Bay Neurs.
You pick up the page- every day and listen to the news —
they were constantly talking about people going hungry. I
thought Harwood round give something back to the comrrnanity."
The school has appradrnateiy 700 studeras with about 40 to
50 living or, then own and collecting student welfare. Shannon
Hill, a youth counsellor at Harwood who works with "high-risk
kids " keeps a list of students who are needy. She tries to
discreetly put food aside for them.
But only a handful said they wanted the food — there could
be as rrany as 200 at the school who could be in line for food,'
she said. "Its definitely the economy, it's getting worse and
worse every year."

Elderly abuse
project launched
The Durham Region
Community Care Association
has launched an education
project aimed at preventing
elder abuse.
The project, funded by the
Ontario health ministry, will
take 20 months to complete.
A committee will be established
to identify factors which lead to
elder abuse and plan
prevention strategies.
Kerry Delaney, elder abuse
education co-ordinator for the
association, said abuse can
take many forms, including
physical, psychological and
emotional. The most common
fort,, she said, is financial and
is called a "hidden crime"
because it's done by family
mernbers or other people in
mast.
Delaney said people don't
want to acknowledge *: at
family members, service
providers or caregivers could
take advantage of the elderly.
"It's a big problem and it's
one that people are just
starting to talk about and
acknowledge," she explained.
"We'll probabiy never know just
how big it is because there are
some people who will never
talk about it. They're afraid to
say that it happened to them."
The committee plans to
develop a brochure on elder
abuse, start a media campaign
promoting positive aging and
increase awareness of
programs for seniors, such as
friendly visiting, caregiver relief
and senior day programs.
An information session on
the project was held Feb. 4 and
a conference is planned for
April, called "Break the
Silence."

Non-profit project clears zoning hurdle
By Dan Man
A location at Bayly Street and
Liverpool Road may not be the
best place to position a 7 -storey,
90 -unit apartment, but in the
end that plan seemed the best
option available in the minds of
most Pickering council
members.
During a Feb. 15 council
meeting, local politicians
approved a rezoning application
for a non-profit apartment
building to be built on a vacant
portion of the Bay Ridges Plaza.
That approval means that
developer Arcon Non -Profit
Housing Corporation will be
able to meet an April 1 deadline
for provincial funding.
Earlier during the meeting
when some council members
pondered a deferral of the plan,
Arcon planning consultant Paul
Johnston warned that such a
move could spell disaster for the
proposal.
'The prosect :s in -eopard,.
with a deferral tonight — in
terms of funding," he told
council. Johnston explained
that if a zoning bylaw for the
project wasn't approved by
March 1 then an opportunity to
move the project in 1993 would
be lost.
However, area residents
including members of the East
Shore Community Association
voiced their opposition to the
scheme. Association president
Tom Mohr implored council to
endorse a deferral so that area
residents could continue to
dialogue with the builder to
determine the eventual look of
the project.
"Let's stop our indecent haste
to hammer this project through
right now," he pleaded. Mohr
said a decision should be
deferred until the basic flaws of
the project are recognized.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Kip Van Kempen went as far as
suggesting t^at the Arcon
proposal simply would not work
despite any revisions. He opted
to defeat the proposal outright.
"This plaza is plagued with
certain problems," Van Kempen
said, explaining area traffic was
hazardous because of a "blind
spot" on westbound Bayly Street
at the top of the hill near
Umpool Road.
"The difficulty that we have
here — it doesn't work, it does
not work. Im not in favor of a
deferral. We're only kidding
ourselves that there's a solution."
Van Kempen added that
consultant Johnston had "done
the best that he can but he's got
an unworkable situation."
Earlier in the meeting,
Johnston said he has worked
closely with people in the
community and had met with
representatives of the East
Shore Community Association
on seven different occasions to
discuss the project. Johnston
-T-is matter has been fully
I-ebated," he said_ "We'll do
every' ing we can to address
-es:cents) concerns."
,LOVE STORY CONTEST RUNNER-UP
The search -party date
By Je mifer Klein
met the love of my life on Aug. 21, 1986.
We were both residents of a Peterborough trailer park and on
one Saturday evening we both attended the park dance. Neither of
us had dates or had danced all might.
I kept eyeing Ken and finally I got up enough courage to ask him
to dance. He eagerly accepted.
As we were dancing I tried guessing his age to myself. I figured
he was about 20 years old, so when he asked me how old I was, I
Bed and told him I was 20. In actual fad I was 16.
This was a big mistake because it led to the
beginning of an eventful night.
When the dance had ended and we were the
only two left in the hall still slow dancing in each
other's arms, Ken asked if I wanted to take a
late-night walk with him to the beach.
I accepted and Kenny took my hand as we
left the hall together. Walking down the hill my
feet began to ache so I decided to take my heels
off and walk barefoot. Kenny took my heels
and carried them for me.
When we finally arrived at the beach we
found a picnic table we could sit on, but there
were rocks surrounding it. Before I knew it
Kenny swept me up in his arms and carried me
over to it and lay me down on it ever so gently
At about 4:30 a.m. four cars caught our attention coming down
the hill. We thought it was a bit odd for cars to be driving around
this late at night, but we paid no attention.
Then I heard my name being screamed. I took a closer look at
the cars and realized they belonged to my mother, brother, aunt and
brother's friend. They were all looking for me.
My face turned 20 shades of red. I was so humiliated. I was
supposed to be 20 and my family and friends were all out looking
for me.
Kenny's face was also red as he realized who the cars belonged
Klein and beau Ken
We kissed, gazed into each other's eyes for long periods, and
talked about everything all night. I knew then that this guy had
stolen my heart for life.
We connected or, such a level. h was --mbelievable. It was as if
we had is o ea&. ou�-e- ail of Our 'Ives -

-o. I dicin t know what to do. I knew if they
found me I would have felt humiliated in front of
Kenny so I did what I thought was the best thing
I could do. I made Kenny hide behind the
bushes with me until they left.
When we came out of hiding I persuaded
Kenny to take me home. When we reached my
trailer, Kenny gave me a goodnight kiss and I
immediately ran inside before anyone came
home.
While Kenny was walking down the road my
mother caught up with him in her car screaming,
"Where the hell is my daughters
Kenny, scared out of his wits, replied in a
stuttering voice, 1.1..f dropped her off at
home al...already.'
My mother quite innocently said, Thank you," and came home
to me. She was more angry with the fad that something might
have happened to me.

Foodbank helps high school teens
• From Page 1
share, Municella added. "We
have 'kids' giving, and I know
they have nothing themselves."
Most of the food raised goes
to the Daily Bread Food Bank in
Toronto. The local Salvation
Army receives donated clothing
and toys and the rest of the food
— although food from the last
Thanksgiving drive went to an
emergency food bank in Ajax.
Tina Tompkins, a 16 -year-old
Grade 11 student at Harwood,
left home in September because
of family problems. After a 3 -
month stay at a youth shelter in
Oshawa (since closed down)
she's receiving welfare and has
found her own apartment in
Ajax.
Without the food bank she
would have had to leave school
and find work. Tompkins said.
Now she's on schedule to
finish Grade 12 next January
and eventually go on to college.
"If it wasn't for the program
there's no way I could have
finished school. I would have
had to find a full-time job," she
said. "It's a great thing they
have here because it will help
out a lot of people who need it."
Tompkins is also a special
case because she has an eating
disorder that doesn't allow her
to digest certain foods. Food
from the Harwood bank is put
aside that is specific to her
needs.
Credit for the legwork on all
food drives has to go to the
Ambassadors of Harwood — a
peer group student association
at the school.
They help organize a few
innovative fundraising ideas,
such as dress -down days for

staff and hat days (students

school) for students.
Participants have to make a
donation to the food bank.
"It's a good incentive for us to
be able to dress down, as much
as it was for the kids to wear
hats," Hill said.
During the last drive, students
were able to collect 1,500 items
of canned goods, approximately
1,500 other food items and
1,500 items of clothing and
toys.
"I think the students like a
challenge," Municella said.

show they can contribute. It's
something that is meaningful."
The school also runs a
daycare centre and many of the
people who use the service are
single mothers who attend
Harwood full-time. There are
approximately 100 girls at the
school. Perhaps 20 are single
mothers, Hill said.
Many of these young mothers
have to use the school's food
bank as well and the school also
helps out by making allowances
in scheduling to give them an
opportunity to finish their
education. Many of the girls
stay in school until full-term.

"Shocking" increase in need for abuse shelter
The number of families using
an area women s shelter almost
doubled last year, an increase
that a worker at the shelter calk
"
In 1992, 230 women came
to the Denise House in Oshawa
bringing with them 236
children. The numbers are the
highest since the shelter opened
in 1984, say Denise House
officials.
Just under half of the families
using Denise House last year
were from Oshawa. Seventeen
per cent of the people forced to
use the shelter were from Ajax
(11 per cent) and Pickering (6
per cent).
Most of the rest were from
surrounding municipalities with
others coming from as far away
as Manitoba and Mexico.
One -hundred and twenty-five
women and 131 children used
the shelter in 1991.

it. But, and I hope this doesrit

sound jaded, its not surprising,"
said Lisa Laflamme, an outreach
worker at the shelter.
"We know there are a lot of
women living in abusive
relationships who need the
shelter. But (the dramatic
increase) is still shocking."
Laflamme said there are a
number of factors in the
dramatic increase, including
harsh economic times.
But she hastened to add that
increased bed capacity — the
shelter added seven beds in late
1991, bringing the total to 22
— also played a role in the
higher numbers.
"It's certainly because there
are simply more women out
there who need the shelter; but
it's also because of the increased
bed capacity," she explained.
'"Chis is our first full year with 22
beds."

cloud of statistics is that many

Stop accuser
in his tracks
Last week's editorial expounded on the
seeming public hostility faced by Pickering
politicians.
But the plight of council can't hold a candle
to the abuse heaped on Pickering town staff
and administrators during recent council and
committee meetings by one vindictive resident.
Richard Ward, a former candidate for
Pickering mayor in the last municipal eledion,
has leveled charges of corruption against staff
in general and the toad manager in particular
on at least three occasions.
Ward's mean-spirited crusade against the
town manager has, among other things,
included allegations of conspiracy and
mismanagement.
Ironically, those in a position to offer
reassurance to citizens and support to town
staff — members of town council — remain
curiously silent. Ward's charges go
uncontested by politicians.
Shame on them!
Those councillors who've chaired the
executive committee matings when staff were
beinig verbally lambasted should have stopped
the accuser in his tracks. The chairman retains
Mdse right to rule sods ravings out of order and
inappropriate.
Other council members who sat sent should
have directed the chairman (through a point of
order) to end the scurrilous tira& mer all,
the forum for such allegations is a courtroom
not a pudic sleeting.
Lack of political action has created a
disturbing sense of - m I i n Needlems to say,
local residents out be wondering what to

1992 fundrais
Dear editor.
The South Durham Unit of the Canadian Cancer
Society had an extremely successful campaign in 1992.
The fundraising goal of $263,000 was surpassed,
and 5264,120 was rased. This was adnieued through
a variety of activities.
The success of the campaign certainly reflects both
the commitment of Society volunteers and the
generosity of local businesses and industries, and the
public in general.
Our traditional campaign kick-off in April was
organized once again by Beta Signa Phi sorority. The
sale of daffodils raised $29,500. The Society
appreciates the efforts of the sorority members and of
local senior id groups who assisted with sales.
A siconssfci residential canwss sues conducted by
2,500 captains and carnassers who raised $170,750
during the month of April. We appreciate the
r - nitmet of this group of volunteers, as many of
them haus been with us for years. 1
The role of special events was extremely important
during 1992, and a variety of activities were
undertaken ranging from ball tournaments and
awobathons to fashion shows and celebrity dieners.
The organises and sponsors of these events played a
vital role in our campaign.
The special event which raised the most money was
the Lmiest Day of Goff. Nearly $14,000 was raised
during this fun event where golfers received
sponsorship through pledges for the number of holes
they could complete during the day.
In addition to thanking the gdiers who Participated,
the Society wishes to extend its appreciation to the golf
clubs who participated and helped promote the

Natural resources ministry may help buy Altona forest
Ontario's natural resources
ministry may be poised to dole
out $10 million towards the
acquisition of Pickering's Altona
forest.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Kip Van Kempen made the
announcement last week saying
the province, after a cabinet
meeting recently, agreed to give
the Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority
(MTRCA) $10 million for the
land acquisition.
Van Kempen, an MTRCA
representative, said the Town of
Pickering and Durham Region
may have to raise an additional
$2 million towards the purchase.
"It win take some convincing,"
he admitted during a press
conference. "What I would
support is that we look at $2
million coming from the
municipality and the region. We
have a $10 million headstart.
We have to come up with the
remainder."
Most of the approximately
330 -acre Ahona forest is owned
by developer Bramalea Ltd.
Town council approved a
development plan for Altona in
September 1992 that included
protection of an urban forest,
provision of greenspace buffer,
and the creation of a community
park.
Van Kempen said detaa of a
purchase will be announced by
the MTRCA shortly. He added
that the authority must adopt a
resolution regarding the Altona
forest purchase at its next full
board meeting before the end of
March.
V
While pleased with the news,
Durham West MPP Jim
Wiseman cautioned that the
proposal is not yet a certainty.
"Not all of the s have been
dotted. Not all of the is have
been crossed," he warned.
Wiseman said negotiations
with the province regardinq
expected funding have been
ongoing and that a deal is close.
Wiseman predicted the
natural resources ministry could
make an official announcement
within a week and a half to two
weeks from Van Kempen's Feb.
11 press conference.

Further development delays plague Pickering Beach
By Glean }kadry
Pickering Beach residents
hoping to develop their
properties this summer had
better think again.
A group of seven
neighborhood families, several
of whom objected strongly
during council debate Monday
night to Ajax's plan to allow
limited development in the area,
have filed letters of appeal with
the Ontario Municipal Board
(OMB).
The OMB received letters
protesting council's decision
from Emmie Emerson, Joyce
Barber, Mary Gibbs, lan win ton,
Ron and Cathy Dancey, Bruce
and Janis Mitchell and Alex and
Elizabeth McCreight.
Development in ,the
neighborhood has been a
burning issue for many years.
Councillors finally approved a
zoning change at a Jan IS
counrl meetng.
Lot owners will be allowed to
build on 50 by 100-f:. lots with
a maximum building hei#, of
30 ft. Staff would also review
garage cors ricton applications
to erwe residents would not be
adversen; affec ed
The constn c.on of sar-tay
sewers. approved :as, year and
currently underway, will not be
affected by the OMB
applications. But town planning
director Peter Tollefsen said no
building permits will be issued
until the hearing.
An OMB hearing is not
expected for at least six months.
Regional Councillor Susan
Dulny, while not surprised by
the OMB applications, is not
particularly happy about the
decision.
"I'm personally very
disappointed by this. I think we
tried to meet many of their
concerns and staff worked very
hard to please this small group
of people," she said.
"I don't know how long this is
going to go on and I'm
disappointed they had to go
forward in this fashion Its just
going to delay sincere
homeowners who wish to build_"
The maior concern of the
objectors are the minima :, lot
sizes (they want 200 ft.
rninirnum). extra traffic, the risk
of flooding (no storm, sewers)
and the potential for the
disruption of the current
neighborhood Ne.
Gibbs, an Ebony Street
resident, said it was a great
disappointment tha' 200 ft.
minimum lots wereri t considered
by the town. Gibbs said she
sees the possibility, with the
approved zoning change, of an
"unplanned -looking" community.
DuIny, however, said she feels
council is doing what most
Pickering Beach residents want.
She wants to settle the matter
once and for all, so lot -owners
can finally develop their
properties.
"You'll never satisfy this
bunch anyway"

Despite seemingly best efforts, Pickering
politicians were not able to pare down this
year's town budget to reflect a publicly -man-
dated zero per cent increase. But council
did come close.
After listening to yet another lengthy
round of public delegations who demanded
no increase to the 1993 town budget, council
Monday night trimmed an additional
$203,000 from a projected 2.4 per cent
increase to the mill rate. The end result was
a budget that reflects a mere .7 per cent
hike.
But it wasn't easy. It took a $100,000 slice
out of the approximately $3 million library
budget, $60,000 from an account for the
West Shore community centre, $25,000 from
a transit study and a $23,000 staff cut from
the Bay Ridges library — to achieve the end
result.
In the end, it was a budget that four out of
seven council members felt they could
endorse. Utimately, once the town's trea-
sury department totals up all the numbers,
Pickering residents may yet see no increase
to their town taxes.
The Monday night meeting was again
highlighted by a series of suggestions from
the public, detailing where council might
consider making further budget cuts.
Valley Farm Road resident Tony Van
Dinther was among the more eloquent
speakers. Van Dinther went as far as exam-
ining the town's entire operating budget and
presented an overhead slide show to illus-
trate effective ways of trimming the budget.
His proposal was an impressive plan illus-
trating how the town could achieve the zero
per cent goal through proved business meth-
ods achieved at a company he worked for.
It was a presentation that captured the
imagination of many people. Riverview
Crescent resident Tom Morozuk offered par-
ticular praise to Van Dinther's efforts.
'Tony let Pickering get to know you.
Maybe the mayor's job is for you,' Morozuk
said.
While the council meeting was less hostile
than past discussions during the last four
weeks, residents were still adamant about
achieving a zero per cent budget goal.
"I don't envy your jobs up there,'
Bridlepath Circle resident Glenda
Younghusband told council, explaining that
politicians must realize that people are
'hurting.'
'Set an example — trim the'fat."
Council approves 9.5%
late tax payment charge
Pickering residents who don't pay their
property taxes on time received some good
news this week.
During a meeting Feb. 15, council ratified
a decision made by executive committee a
week earlier and approved a 9.5 per cent
interest penalty on large property tax
payments. A penalty of 15 per cent had been
proposed but was rejected.
Both Whitby and Ajax currently charge a
15 per cent penalty to those who pay late.

number of residents spoke out against
imposing a 15 per cent late tax payment
penalty.
'The only thing it will do is hurt the people
who are already suffering; said Taxpayer
Coalition member Janice Frampton. "A 15
per cent penalty would be way out of line
with what banks are charging right now.'
Resident Fred Beer called the proposal
'immoral and extreme.'
'The town must not be seen to profit from
its citizens during difficult economic times,'
he said.
Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs
suggested a 12 per cent late payment penalty
instead of 15 per cent. He argued that the
municipality is obliged to collect taxes and
pay both region and school board shares
regardless of how much money has been
rai sed.
'If we don't have the money we must
borrow it; he said.
However, Regional Councillor Kip Van
Kempen for one reasoned that 9.5 per cent
was recommended by the town treasurer and
is still two -and -a -half per cent higher than
prime.
'I think it's a fair compromise,' he said.

A4 7Le Weekend Bay News, February 19,20,21, 1"2
Ajax native Filson ready to"play ball"
6r Glenn Hendry
he next, and possibly last, step
on the road to "the show" begins
Sunday for Ajax outfielder
Nigel Wilson.
Wilson, the first -overall selection of the
expansion Florida Marlins in November's
dispersal draft, will be on his way to
Miami for the club's first-ever training
camp, starting Feb. 22.
The objective for the 22 -year-old is
clear — to earn a spot on the Marlins
major league roster.
Wilson only plaved double "A' baseball
last year. still two levels from the majors.
Nevertheless, first round picks are first
round picks and the consensus was he
would have had at least a 50/50 shot to be
on the Marlin squad come opening day.
But then came news from the Sunshine
State in January that '.Marlin management
has Wilson pegged for Triple A Edmonton.
"We'll have him at spring training,'
assistant general manager Frank Wren
recently told a Toronto daily newspaper,
'but he's still not ready for the major-
league level."
The club is looking at Jeff Conine,
Chuck Carr and former Blue Jay and
Angel Junior Felix to patrol the Marlin
outfield this year.
But Wilson is undeterred and still
confident of his chances to crack the
lineup. With an expansion team like the
Marlins, there are plenty of question
marks that won't be answered at least
until April.
"If I keep playing like I have been —
putting up the numbers and playing hard
— I think I can (make the team) this
year," Wilson told The Bay News recently.
"But then, they don't know and I don't
know. I just have to go to spring training
healthv, and then we'll see what happens."
However, if he is sent down to the Triple
A Trappers, he is prepared to accept the
demotion and try to work his way back
up.
"If I have to go there (Edmonton), I
have to go there. I'm not going to be too
disappointed. I know I'll get my chance."
It will be Wilson's second camp. The
former Blue Jav farmhand — he spent
five years in Toronto's system — was
invited to the Jays' camp in Dunedin last
year and spent three weeks matching
homerun strokes with the likes of Joe
Carter and Dave Winfield.
'It was fun being around the superstars
you read about every day — it was great
playing with them," he enthused.
This time around, with a new team in a
new league, the odds are much better,
Wren's comment notwithstanding. Only
Felix has any kind of serious experience in
the outfield among Wilson's club mates.
With a good — no, make that great —
camp, Wilson still has a realistic chance to
make the team.
"If I go in with the right attitude, who
knows what might happen? I'll just go out
there and work hard and let them decide."
His chances of making the big dub are
certainly better in Miami than with the
defending World Series champion Blue
Jays.
Still, he says there are no hard feelings
with Toronto, emphasizing he was treated
well by the organization. It would have
been nice to have been a home-grown Blue
Jav star, but...
41 don't really look at it as a big
disappointment because my main
objective — and the main objective of
everyone who plays in the minor leagues
— is to play in the big leagues — the
show,' he said. 'Now I have a real good
opportunity to play this year."
Wilson always had most of the tools to
reach the majors but started to put it all
together last year at Knoxville, clouting 26
homers. He was also hitting .310 with
Lara Cardinales (Venezuela, winter ball)
before being hooked by the Marlins in the
draft Nov. 17.
His power isn't in doubt, nor is his
speed, although he admits his stolen base
numbers trailed off last year, noting that
he has to 'learn how to use my speed
better.' Only his arm remains a question
mark but Wilson says his throwing
abilities have improved dramatically since
he first turned pro.
"Right now there's no problem. In the
, '7 1
Awl k A, U i a 4 1 W.11110 Ill 71110, Isla 'LieA
past, there was a problem (he separated a
shoulder in his rookie campaign in 1988)
but I threw well in Venezuela and I think I
got what it takes."
He's already well into his conditioning
program that should take him into
training camp in the peak of health. The
61", 185 -pounder has been working out in
Oshawa since January and is now hitting
at home, using a soft -toss machine his
father Edward made for him.
He's also kept busy attending card
shows both in the Ajax and Toronto areas
and in Florida where he's something of a
minor celebrity.
"It's fun seeing your name all over the
Place, but I have to concentrate on getting
ready for the season and learning what I
have to do to be successful."
This is a special time for a "Canadian
Kid," and a long way from his youthful
days with the Ajax Spartans Minor
Baseball Association. But who knows.
Mavbe Wilson is an honest -to -goodness
star -to -be.
,Now is the time for him to prove Marlin
management wrong and perhaps, in a few
years, it will be a veteran Wilson who will
be calling the next, fresh -faced can't -miss
prospect"rook.'
"That would be nice," Wilson said with
a smile. 'I just have to work hard, be
dedicated and put my mind to it.
Everything is possible and I think I can do
well."

Retailer carries on corsetiere tradition
major 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. Usually this results in a
bra that comes close but doesn't
really fit properly, nor does this
benefit them in any way. 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 then have well over 1,000
bras in stock at anv time. Store
salespeople called 'fitters' in other
stores do little more than fill out
vour 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 entirel-, from
scratch, althou_h it - tern rarel%
,'A
necessary. It's a vanishing art
phased out of existence by the
technology of mass 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. They 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
measurin_ tape tells ver-, little. But
Near, of trainin_ and experience are
the key. There are a host of
considerations — from the
placement of scams to the placement
of straps and the tvpe 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 fit. 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 Reasons 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.
Phone for an appointment at -120-
1883 and ask for Michelle.

How is investment income taxed?
By Don Wright
here are two ways you
can earn income on
your savings.
First, by lending funds to a
borrower in return for interest
and the eventual repayment of
your principal. Second, through
ownership of corporate stock
where you receive dividends that
represent your share of
company profits.
When choosing your
investments, you should be
aware of the different ways in
which investment income is
taxed. It will greatly affect your
after-tax rate of return.
All interest income is now fully
taxable at your marginal tax
rate. In addition, investments in
debt obligations purchased on or
after Jan. 1, 1990, are subject to
an annual accrual commencing
in 1990.
Interest must be included in
income on such obligations in
the taxation year in which the
anniversary date of the
investment falls, even if the
interest is not actually received.
For this reason, many experts
recommend that you hold as
many of your interest income-
producing investments as
possible (including GICs, bonds
and treasury bills) in your RSP
where the income earned will be
sheltered from tax.
Federal taxes payable are
based on the grossed -up amount.
A credit is then calculated at
13.33 per cent of the grossed -up
dividend and is applied against
your federal taxes payable.
This means that on average for
every $100 of dividend income
earned, you must earn $130 in
interest income to retain the
same after-tax amount of $69.6.
Because dividend income
receives favorable tax
treatment, dividend -producing
investments are usually best held
outside a tax-sheltered
environment, such as an RSP, so
that .investors can take
advantage of the tax credit.
