Dickerson appointed regional count by Richard Fleming Doug Dickerson is the new regional councillor for ward 2. He was elected by a 4-2 vote of the current council to succeed the late David Farr, defeating local ward 2 councillor Sherry Senis. "I am very pleased, I think that many residents of the town were able to come out this evening and express their views to members of council and I certainly want to thank my own supporters who appeared here this evening. And I congratulate the supporters of the other candidates that showed they cared about their community and their town," said Dickerson. He was nominated by regional council- lor Rick Johnson, who previously said that he would support Mr. Dickerson but wouldn't nominate him. Councillor Senis, the only woman on council, said she was disappointed but not surprised at the outcome. She said that coming into Monday night's meeting she knew she had a goal chance of not winning. She nominated herself for the regional seat. while ward l councillor Dave Ryan nominated Jill Foster, chair of the Pickering Library Board. Under the Regional Municipalities Act the seat had to be filled by appointment. More than 135 pcople turned out to sup- port their candidates at the meeting which lasted slightly more than three and one-half hours. Under the rules of the act, candi- dates for the position had to be nominated by a torrent councillor. Six people put their names forward as potential nominees: Dickerson, Senis, Pickering Hydro Commissioner Ralph Sutton, Library Board Chair Jill Foster, for- mer ward 2 councillor Eileen Higdon and Sandy McKechnie, a freelance communications consul- tant. On the first ballot councillors Maurice Brenner, Rick Johnson and Enrico Pistritto supported Mr. Dickerson, while Mayor Wayne Arthurs lined up with Senis and councillor Ryan supported Ms. Foster. Being the person with the fewest votes, Foster was forced to withdraw and on the second vote councillor Ryan gave his support to Dickerson. Before councillors voted they heard from 61 people supporting the various candidates. Five spoke on behalf of Mr. Sunon, twenty-one for Sherry Senis, three for Jill Foster, one for each of Eileen Higdon and Sandy McKechnie, and thirty for Doug Dickerson. Many of those supporting Senis urged councillors to respect the democratic process and fill the vacant seat with an elected repre- sentative from the ward. Scott Smith of Malden Crescent, a close friend of councillor David Farr, read a letter, to a hushed coun- cil chamber, from the late council- lors wife Louise Fan in which she said that it was her preference that "our local councillor Sherry Senis" be appointed to the position of ward 2 regional councillor. "Although time ran out for David to have a conversation with each of you personally, l can assure you these expressed sentiments were also shared by Dave," the let- ter said. Alan May of Sandy Beach Road said he had talked to many people and everyone felt that it should be filled by the elected representative of ward 2, he said. "It's not right to appoint someone who didn't enjoy the confidence of the people." Although Dickerson had twice before been elected in ward 2, from 1978-80 and 1988-91, he wad defeated in his last two tries, finish- ing third behind Senis in the November, 1994 election. Gerry Lawrie, an OAC student at St. Mary's Catholic Secondary School. presented a petition signed by more than 100 OAC students at the school supporting Sherry Senis. He said that students were con- cerned that a mockery of democra- cy might take place. "We are over 18 and will be voting in the next election and we do hope you make the right decision." Another student, Chris Wright, representing more than 80 OAC students from Pine Ridge Secondary School, also urged coun- cillors to support Senis. David Strain of Halsey Lane, suggesting that a polling company be hired to determine the wishes of ward 2 residents. He said that he had been in touch with one polling company, Environics, who had assured him the could poll 1,00 people and have the results by February 9, well within the 60 day mandatory limit to appoint a suc- cessor. Janice Frampton of the taxpayers coalition warded councillors that the voting public has a long memo- ry and urged them to support coun- cillor Senis. Although delegations had until noon last Friday to register to speak only ones supporting coun- cillor Senis. Sutton and Foster had done so. Many of the people sup- porting Mr. Dickerson showed up at the meeting and were allowed to speak only if council approved, which it did. Bill Lightstone, one of Mr. Dickersons supporters said that the former councillor was experienced. a sentiment that was echoed by many other supporters. Karl Haug Jr.. who had been rumored as a can- didate himself, supported Mr. Dickerson saying he was reliable and very forthcoming in his deal- inp. Tom Mohr, a member of the executive of the Pickering East Shore Community Association, speaking on his own behalf, said that he favored Dough Dickerson for the position because "This is not an election. We need someone who can step into the role immedi- ately in these exceedingly complex times. Doug is up on the issues." While most of the speakers for Senis were ward residents, several of those supporting Dickerson were from wards 1 and 3. Mohr said that the regional seat represented Pickering more than the ward. Councillor Johnson said in his nominating remarks that it was "a great honor to know Doug Dickerson." He also notes Dickerson had supported him when he ran in a provincial election "even though he wasn't a Conservative. - In her nomination speech coun- cillor Senis said she had the politi- cal experience to do the joh well. She said she was the only elected person seeking the seat and the people had spoken bud and cicar in the election. "We are entering a pivotal crossroads and we don't need the divisiveness of past coun- cils. We should look to the future and not to past friendships." Immediately after being elected to fill the vacant position Mr Dickerson was sworn in by Town Clerk Bruce Taylor an took the inor P ward 2 regional councillor's seat, a _ position he will hold for the next 22 months. ® ................................ z............� _ RV K E TRY OUR Z K To0a NEW NUMBER p = 837-11-11 0 • Wl eelrhair Vans c a • Polite Drivers t ' • 15 % off the meter for seniors & students PICKERING'S FIN STTAXI CO.; a ....................................................... q(MRO A U" SUAPLUSIK.

She knows o people. Most of all, she Zknows how to entice every- one, from average folks to corporate leaders, into part- ing with their hard-earned dollars during times of financial constraint. As Chair of the Ajax & Pickering Hospital Foundation, Maxwell heads a team of individuals who really care about their com- munity and the services the local hospital provides to its growing population. had been involved in fund- raising for a long time. This was an opportunity to do something for the hospital. - "Involved" may be an understatement. Since mov- ing to Ajax 24 years ago, Maxwell has tallied an impressive list of achieve- ments: the United Way campaign (as chair) and co- chair of the Cancer Society campaign. In the late '70s, she spearheaded the Cancer Society's Daffodil Campaign with her sorority, Beta Sigma Phil and Southwood Park schoolchil- barely surviving "in card- board shelters," children going hungry, battered women. "You see these lit- tle children who have been abused and you think 'The least I can do is be a part of making things better for them.' You see people liv- ing in a cardboard box ... and you think, maybe I can make their life a little bit better?" As a full-time worker herself, Maxwell says she knows how tough it is for people to make ends meet.

The campaign has helped outfit the hospi- tal's new maternity wing. .Maxwell says she finds area businesses to be gener- ous corporate citizens. Giving just makes good business sense, she adds. "By and large, most busi- nesses are supportive these days. They're having as much financial difficulty as anybody. But they see that there will be payback with their staff having access to the best facilities possible in the community. Most com- panies are very supportive of the hospital." Composed of nine direc- tors, the foundation is fur- ther delineated into specific committees, among them Developers, Major Corporations, Service Clubs, Special Events, Hospital Family and Auctions. Each has a group of volunteers to service its needs. And the giving never really stops. "Oh, no, you never close out a campaign," Maxwell says with a chuckle. Make Room For Baby, for instance, will continue accepting donations "because people will always want to donate to a campaign. You never close it off." The hospital has garnered much attention lately, including a three-year accreditation from the Canadian Council on Health Services, a peer organization based in Ottawa. It's a sign of recog- nition for the excellent care the hospital provides — and it fits well with the goals of a people oriented, knowl- edgeable chair like Maxwell, says Freek. "Nancy is absolutely the best person for this job," she says. "She's shown con- siderable leadership, she has a vast knowledge of how charities work — plus her business sense — and she's bringing all of that to the foundation."

"A community is what you make of it," she says. "I really feel I've gotten a lot more out of it than I've given. There's a real rich- ness when you have a sense of belonging." Everyone she has met has enriched her life, she says, from committee volunteers to the local service clubs (she especially lauds the work of the firefighters and the civic clubs like Kinsmen, Lions and Optimists) and the politi- cians. "The hospital is going to grow and the foun- dation will grow with it," she says. "The challenges are phenomenal. We need the government to make a commitment to growth in this area. The community can only support the hospi- tal to a certain extent." Surpassing its first-year goal of $550,000 by more than $175,000, the hospital foundation is off to a great start.

Almost weekly, however, we hear stories about the smut, child pornography and hate literature that is being sent around the world through this giant communications network. In view of where the media emphasis is being placed, it is no wonder that many people have come to regard the Internet as an environment into which they are not willing to permit either themselves or their children to venture. The dissemination of smut, child pornography, hate literature or the like cannot be condoned. Each Internet user select, the sites he/she visits, the news groups to which she/he subscribes and the infomlat ion he/she downloads. As with normal daily lire in our own home and/or working environment, on the Internet, individuals select the nature and source of information to which they will be exposed. It is not the intent of this article to offer comment regarding "censorship on the Internet". The purlxwse of this piece is to help remove some of the misconceptions readers may !rave I►ad regarding the workings of the Internet. While articles of a srns:atiunal nature seem to gain tate most Impact and notoriety, It is also Inge that ;articles have been written res!ardine the benefits of the Internet. Many of these works have been directed toward specific groups of people, and consequently often have been relatively technical and/or clinical in their presentation. Other articles or advertisements have been prepared to highlight specific sites on the Internet; sites that may be of interest to specific groups within the community. An example for children might be the Home Page for the Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta (hitp://www.world.com/AEP/p arks/dinosaur/). This particular Home Page is one of 769 documents retrieved by the WEBCRAWLER search engine in response to the keyword "dinosaur". By contacting this Home Page, information regarding dinosaurs in general and this park in particular can be obtained. Other topics of interest such as sports (13,337 documents), transportation (3,738 documents), education (19,929 documents), medicine (5.546 documents). government (15.746 documents) and the environment (13,402 documents), to mention only a few, also are found at a large number of Internet sites scattered around the world. The variety and volume of infornsation heing made accessible through the Internet continue,, to grow. At the samo time, something else is occurring which to many is as important. if not more important than this aspect of the lntrrnet. To many, this additional benefit of the Internet has been under reported, if not completely ignored by the media. In brief. this benefit may he summarized as: The free giving of information, knowledge and support by individuals to others located possibly half a world away, who they only know as a faceless E -Mail address. Two E -Mail messages are provided to illustrate this expression of compassion. caring and willingness to freely exchange ideas and information. Such occurrences are not the exception, but rather, are being demonstrated by many Internet users. The initial E -Mail message from: Aoife Carroll Iaoife( c.se.dcu.ie) Subject: Septum Pellucidium Just to introduce myself. Aoite Carroll. Dublin. The reason I joined the list is because my son, aged 3, has been diagnosed as having an absence of the septum pelludidium - a midline brain structure. Apparently this is quite a rare condition and I would appreciate any, information, help or advice.

Good Luck. (Bring a lump to your throat? Good, maybe you should be on the Internet!) In this particular situation, it would appear that the respondent had some professional connection with the medical community. In many other cases of a medical nature, however, the respondents may either be suffering from the same condition as the questioner or may be acquainted with someone who is. While a medical problem was selected to demonstrate this phenomenon of the free exchanee of information and support, similar interactions are taking place concerning a multitude of topics: between people who share similar interests, problems or whatever. and who may Live anywhere on the face of the earth serviced by the Internet. During these times, when the terms "racism "bigotry". "hate crimes" and the like are attached to many of the lead stories in the news. it is essential U1at people around the world gain a better understanding of their community and their global neighbours. These past few Years have been defined by many as -The Age of the ' h1e • Generation"; a time when the emphasis of many has been to think only of their own interests and to have little, if any time, for the problems of others. A caring compassion and willingness to freely exchange ideas with others they know only through a faceless E -Mail address is being demonstrated on the Internet by people from around the world. People helping people because they want to help. What a very refreshing occurrence! As the Internet continues to expand, both in terms of information sites and users, it is hoped that this aspect of the Internet will not be lost but will continue to grow. It is also hoped that the media will start to place more emphasis on this very beneficial HUMAN SIDE of the Internet and its users. To those on the Internet who are lending a helping hand, keep up the good work! needed The Ajax-PIckeri ns: Women's Centre, is looking Cor volunteers who have some expertise in fundraising and an interest in raising funds to develop needed services for abused women and their children in the Ajax -Pickering area.

We were delighted to note the return of Joe Atkinson to municipal politics in Ajax. His announcement that he is ready to nun in the upcoming by-election in ward 3, scheduled for March 4, carne as welcome news indeed. A long-time believer in the power of local government, Joe told us recently that municipal government is "the one I an see as the most rewarding because it's the one that is closest to the people." And Joe Atkinson has made a point of always being close to, and caring for. people. Probably half the population of Ajax has been involved by now in some form of fund-raising for the Ajax dt Pickering General Hospital. For Joe Atkinson. it has almost become a way of life. ,Although many residents will have forgotten the "Hi Partner" campaign which started the drive for the hospital expansion we so desperately needed and can now enjoy, the Bay News and Joe Atkinson will remember it as a part of community history in which we shared. New mayor, Steve Parish, along with the rest of Ajax council, should also welcome Atkinson's arrival. The man who not long ago referred to the current town council as a "sehikss group" who are "really visionary and believe in wfia is good for the community" will fit in well with the town's aims and objectives for the upcoming year• Annoying issues which have dogged the town for far too long --Venom, a ming downtown core, and the frght for pmomm of the l apst narwal waterfront on I.ake Outario — will aR see the spoth*k this year.

F� mt "e, U" 14 Elokllun Dear Editor: .1 am writing; today to express my frustration with town coun- cil particularly with David Rvan and Maurice Brenner. For the past year I have been lobbying for a 4 -way stop, an overhead flashing light and two oncoming flashing yellow "stop ahead" lights at the intersection of Ever and Oklahoma Drives. So far my time investment has been enormous! When I under- took this project I expected that my request and the requests of close to 150 people on my peti- tion would carry enough weight to expedite the process. Boy, was I mistaken' I've given the town two videos from the inter- section, done countless inter- views with the local media, spo- ken face to face with upset par- ents, solicited the support of the crossing guard, the head of' the Home and School Association, received support from Fairport Beach's School principal and the ;support of my Rate Paver Association president, plus 150 petitioners. HOW MUCH MORE SUPPORT DO I NEED? There have been sixteen acci- dents at this intersection in two years. How many more acci- I OoOr WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS CYCLISTS That should do I'I ll, the trick! I � dents, how many more people need to be hit, how much more time, will it take to install a 4 - way stop'? It's obvious the town is compromising safety of' it's constituents, dragging their feet and spending far too much money on studies. The study has been done, the results are in, the residents have spoken. Pickering town council it's now up to you! Do it now before someone is killed at Eyer and Oklahoma Drives.

Hold on. For while the Durham Board of Education recently decided to cancel its junior kindergarten program, the separate board will reserve a decision on J.K. and its French Immersion program until at least mid-March. That message came in a January 24 memo from Catholic Board education director Grant Andrews to school principals. "Due to the current provincial financial crisis and the severe cutbacks anticipated in the funding of education, all optional programs are under review," Andrews said in response to provincial cutbacks estimated at S1 iillion over the next two years. "Accordingly registration for Junior Kindergarten and the French Immersion Program at the Grade IV level is being delayed until a decision has been made by the Board of Trustees with respect to these programs." Andrews said limited information from the province has hampered the board in deciding where to apply the cuts. "Funding parameters were to be announced this month with General Legislative Grant details to be provided in mid-March. That information is required for the school board to make informal decisions with respect to optional programs. In the meantime please advise members of your school community that registration for optional programs is currently on hold." Junior Kindergarten has been part of Durham's separate school system since 1974, said board spokesperson Laura Sheehan. At the public board, communications manager Mary Brown said the J.K. program, which began in January 1995, was only halfway implemented. Total implementation cost was estimated at $20 million, with the cost to run the program set at $1.5 million annually, Brown said. While more than 150 angry parent, attended a recent board meeting to express their displeasure at J.K.'s cancellation, "the trustees realized we had no wav of paying for it." Brown said. Town receives input from citizens by John Cooper Comments %.raging from a request for decreased tares and a committee designed to examine cost-cutting measures to a plea for continued funding for Ajax Horne Week were heard by Ajax's Committee of the Whole durine its regular meeting January 22 when the committee opened the floor to citizens for comments on the upcoming 1996 town budget. Fraser Beach said that tax increases have a negative effect on house values. "The value of a home has come down five per cent a year. It's incumbent on you as a council to reverse this unhealthy trend." Phil Lev} recommended that "taxpayers pitch in to help, like :it the Ajax of the early days." Levy called for the establishment of a six -member committee, comprising taxpayers, council members and town staff, to look for ways to cut costs. He cited the closure of a library in South Ajax as a way to cut expenses. Roger Anderson expressed enthusiastic support for Levy's proposal. "I think the concept should be pursued by us," he said. Jim Leckev, representing Ajax Home Week, requested the continuation of the town's annual S5.00O Lrant to Home Week celebrations. "Home Week expounds on our sense of community," he said. Deputy Tone Clerk Martin de Rond said the comment: will be brought forward to a February 13 meeting to formally review the budget. "The intention of the review is to bring forth a recommendation on mill rates" for the February 19 council meeting, he said.

I n Mayors of Ajax -father and son Z by John Cooper P He's a lawyer, a politician, a quiet activist - maybe even a sex a symbol. Most of all, Steve Parish is O someone who has taken a sincere P& interest in local politics all the way to the top. o But forget any variation a la -e "Mr. Parish Goes to Ajax" - he's Zlived in the town since the age of a few months. Parish was appointed by his fellow councillors on December 1 l to replace former mayor Jim Witty, who took over as Regional Chairman following the death of Gary Herrema. He brings to the mayor's chair the same determination to succeed that marked his time as regional councillor. Simultaneously, he's following in his father Bill's footsteps - a man who served as mayor of Ajax from 1958 to 1963. Steve attended Ajax High (class of '70) and York University (BA 1973), graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the bar in 19'8 For l8 years he has operated a law firm with partner Tom Bloodworth. He cross-country skis (competing in grueling marathons of 170 km), nuts in the summer and works out at the local community centre. Yet, for all this activity, he is quiet, often introspective, and given to carefully thought-out comments. One of six children. Parish grew up on Admiral Road, when the town's population was in the single -digit thousands and most of the area was farmland. He developed with the town. watching it grow as new subdivisions sprang up. "A day's outing was a hike down to the lake," he says. "You'd take your lunch and spend the day at the lake. You could see the old storage bunkers that were used for the bombs during the war years." Father Bill, a high school teacher who later became a principal and finally director of education for the Scarborough Board of Education before retiring in 1982, was a well- known. popular mayor. The senior Parish says the new mayor always had "an interest in history. He was a very good student and was an Ontario scholar." Community service runs in the Parish blood. Steve Parish's grandfather Edward was a Royal Air Force navigation instructor in the First World War who came to Canada to train pilots. He met his future wife Winifred here. married and became assessment commissioner for the then - township of East York. Steve's communityinvolvement began in the late '70s; he ran successfully for councillor of Ward 2 in Fall 1980, then lost to future mayor Jim Witty while contesting the regional council seat in 1982. "That was the end of my first incarnation in municipal politics," he says. "It enabled me to spend a lot of time with my family." Nine years later Parish re- entered politics, losing the regional council seat to Susan Dulny. In 1992, the resignation of Ward 3 councillor John Price gave Parish a fourth kick at the can - and the following year he won the regional council seat. Business is tops on his list. With an assessment rate of 80-20 in favour of residential development over commercial/industrial, the town needs to boost its business potential, he says. "Companies look to a community that has a high quality product, with stable taxes and a good environment. A down -town core is vital," he adds. "The town lacks the commercial and cultural core needed in a town of 60,000 people. east of Pickering Beach Road. And amalgamation with other municipalities? While Parish admits that "economies of scale" may make some basic services less expensive under amalgamation. the community is best served by having an accountable, local council in place. leader making a call to arms. While he's not one to wax philosophical, he credits his years out of politics for his pro-environment/pro-social development stance. "I think a lot of that comes from being away from politics in the '80s and observing politics and seeing deepening cynicism toward - h r � � 4. F va! .. . / . ' -" High.

"It was a real community and Steve has always put that idea of community very much in mind." "We have the advantage of being close to the people," adds Steve. "They can air their concerns and beefs and can come to council every Monday night." Among those beefs is the Ajax water plant, scheduled for a council -approved construction start this spring.

He says he is strongly committed to preserving greenspace: in the fall, he pulled out a lesser-known tree -cutting bylaw after a developer started clearing shrubbery in an environmentally -sensitive area. The company's actions left Parish "aghast" at such a blatam act by a firm known widely as a good corporate citizen. Urged by a council motion from Parish, the town's bylaw enforcement office is currently mulling over the facts, deciding whether to charge the developer. He sees council increasingly filling a "watchdog" role. "The thing you have to remember in 1996 is that agencies we see as having some kind of mandate to police the wetlands and greenspace ... are not going to have the resources to do the watchdog Policing role that we have come lo expect them to do." Health care and schools are also at risk and require community vigilance. Tire mayor knows school issues well - wife Rosemary is a teacher in Whitby and their three children, Jessica, 18, Sarah, 16 and Joe, 14, are all students at Ajax do and fewer resources to do them" he adds. Asked about the possibility of an AIDS hospice currently being proposed for Durham, Parish indicates his support. "I would support any health initiative that would make the safety and health of our citizens in Ajax and in Durham better," he says. On a credenza in his office there is a photo of his grandmother and grandfather on their wedding day another shot of Parish during a ski marathon in Quebec: there's a picture of him in a crowd of fellow runners behind wheel -chair athlete Rick Hansen. But perhaps the most compelling is a 1%3 photo of an 11 -year-old Steve standing next to his father, just before Bill Parish headed to Europe for the eommas=mg of the HMS Ajax. "Steve's right there," says Bill Parish. And being where history happy has meant preparation and a thoughtful approach, says the senior Parish. "I can always remember he always took a reasoned approach to everything. He's always very cool. Whether that is his training as a lawyer not, he's always approached thin very objectively. Steve's a ver thoughtful person and he trie always to go to the root of th problem." That approach will no dos ensure Steve Parish his own spec' niche in the history of Ajax.

Perhaps you've heard about it on the radio or read about it in newspaper ads. At Consumer Car Mart you have an opportunity to choose the brand and model of car just right for you in the comfort of a large indoor showroom. Leo Anagnostakos, Consumer Car Mart's general manager says this is the only place in Durham Region where car buyers can pick from such a wide array of car models and designs, either brand new or reconditioned. Anagnostakos says that Consumer Car Mart is a family -run business where sales personnel don't wreck on commission, thus. customers need not worry about a high- pressure sales pitch. "If you We someddng you floe, well hold k for you with no deposit. no contract and no risk", he says. "If you don't see anyddag you sloe, don't wary, new vehicles arrive every day" Anagnostakos adds that every reconditioned car on display has undergone a rigid 300-poW test inspection in the company's 6,500 square foot Service Centre. "All of our quality used vehicles are wanarteed for 1 year or 12,000 kms — a 10D% parts and labour warranty that covers engine, transmission, drive axles, clutch, engine cooling system, steering. brakes, suspension, tires, exhaust system, starting system, charging system and all seals and gaskets. We insist, on a minimum of 30 minutes test drive to ensure that the vehicle performs and handles to your satisfaction. Before you purchase a vehicle, we put it on hold with no deposit or commitment on your behalf. This provides you with the opportunity to verify your insurance and financing requirements." Anagnostakns also adds that 80% of Consumer's customers come through referrals from satisfied customers.

He skipped his team to the CIBC Senior Men's Canadian Championship January 28 in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Each sea- son, Bob has been in the running for major honours. In 1979 he was vice on the Ontario men's team from Annandale at the then Macdonald Brier. In 1990 and 1992 he skipped the Ontario mixed champions at the Canadian finals. It takes much dedication and commitment to seek such championships as there are no cash prizes such as you see in bouspiels and skins games. Although be lives and works in Ajax, and is a member of Annandale for his normal men's competitive events, Bob had cast a wide net to make up his victorious senior men's team. The lead is Steve McDermot from Georgetown, the second is Bob Lichti from Waterloo, and at via was Roy Weigand of Toronto. They compiled their team out of the Brampton Curlm Curling Club. The final gae was very close against Northern Ontario, and it took a steal in the extra end to seal the championship.

The Whitby Curling Club is playing host to the Nokia championships, but because of soar coaflius with the town they were unable to lock up some playing ice in their own area. "We would have loved to have it in Whitby," said W.C.C. executive Gord Carroll. "We negotiated with them (Town of Whitby and Iroquois Park Arena), but we couldn't come to an agreement. We got a good deal in Pickering. And Jim Walker, the superintendent at the Recreation Complex has done so much for us. "Iickenng is lucky to have a facility like that." Carroll said everyone at the club is anxiously awaiting the clock to tick down to Fetruary 6. It is the fust time the championships have baa held in the Durham Region and Carroll believes it will be a success.

W. Ajax less way to build your RSP. in the third in a series of articles offering tips and advice during the RSP season, Royal Bank Group highlights the many ben- efits of automatic monthly RSP contribution plans. Here's how the plans work: - With an RSP contribution plan, you can make your annual RSP contribution in regular, easy -to -manage monthly installments throughout the year. A pre -authorized amount of money is automatically trans- ferred each month from your savings or chequing account to your RSP. - Your monthly contribution can be directly invested in a variety of deposit and mutual fund options. - The programs also make it easier for you to contribute ear- lier in the year. This means your savings start earning tax- sheltered income much sooner than if you had waited to make a lump -sum contribution at RSP deadline. - When you make regular contributions to mutual funds through an RSP contribution plan, you take advantage of dollar -cost averaging. By investing an equal dollar amount each month, you buy more units for the same amount of money when the market is down and fewer when it's up. This smooths out the fluctua- tions of stock and bond markets and can improve your returns. By making your RSP con- tribution in regular monthly installments, you're more likely to contribute the maximum amount each year. It's easier to reach your goal if you budget for it in smaller increments than if you rely on having enough at the end in one lump sum. - With RSP contribution plans, you may be eligible for a reduction in the amount of income tax that's deducted from each of your pay cheques at source. That means you can possibly take home more money in your pay cheque. - RSP contribution plans give you total flexibility. If you want to change the amount you con- tribute each month or alter your investment options, it's usually just one phone call away. Or if you find that finances are tight, you can even stop contributing for a while. Your minimum contribution can be as afford- able as $25 a month. - By making painless and affordable payments each month, you'll not only escape the last-minute scramble to come up with a lump -sum amount immediately before the deadline, but you won't get caught up in the rush of activity and line-ups at that time. - Last, but certainly not least, it doesn't cost anything to set up an RSP contribution plan.

Clients who had applied for a loan with a loans company, were told that their application had been approved, then' instructed to send an up front fee of $200, $3(10 or more. Licenced Mortgage Brokers could jeopardize their licence by accepting any type of up front fee unlike that of a loans bro- ker. This is not tolerated by the Ontario Mortgage Brokers Association. Only a company with no ethics would do such a thing to people who are in a financial hind. These arc unlicensed loans companies that do not have to report to the min- istry or any other govern- ing body. Any loan or mortgage approval will always have a set of terms and conditions. All applicable fees, interest rates, payments and terms, should be fully disclosed and acceptable to you in writing before you sign anything. Where do clients go who do not fit into the traditional lending insti- tutions? The answer is simple. If you are self- employed, have no credit history, or bad credit his- tory, are on commission sales, or just have a heavy debt load and want to consolidate your bills, there are alternative rep- utable sources available to you with both private and institutional money. Always make sure that the company and consul- tant you are telling your personal information to is licenced. This assures you of privacy and pro- tection. A licenced Mortgage Broker can save you time, money, and frustration, and will always have its licence in full view.

Today's engaged couples are older, better educated and have a higher combined income than ever before. They are looking for quality and value when they make their diamond engagement ring purchase... especially since this is usually the first major diamond purchase the couple makes. When these couples walk into a jewelry store, 67 percent of all women and 50 percent of all men have no preconceived idea of what they are going to spend on a diamond engagement ring. Men and women perceive the purchase of the diamond engagement ring differently. The man strongly believes in the tradition of the diamond engagement ring and the importance of the quality of the stone. It is the one aspect of the wedding process over which he has control!

The symbolism of the diamond engagement ring is implicit, but she tends to downplay the importance of size and price while he is ready to spend more for the best he can give her. In view of these facts, to determine what you can best afford. a wise guideline to use is the two months' salary guideline. Research shows that this allows a couple to buy the best quality diamond they can afford without breaking their budget. Diamonds are not ine :pensive, but remember that while most purchases depreciate over the years. the diamond last., long after the honeymoon and champagne are over. And, if you appreciate quality and look for it in everything you do, you*ll want a diamond that is symbolic of the quality of your love. Once you've decided on a budget of two months' salary, quality should be your first consideration. In order to understand quality in diamonds. you must understand the four C's: Cut, Color. Clarity and Carat -weight. Cut: Diamonds are cut into a number of shapes. depending on the nature of the rough stone_ A well -cut diamond is better able to handle light. creating more scintillation and sparkle. Color: Diamonds are found with a range of colors; however,? the best color for a diamond is a$ no color. It is a totally colorless c diamond that allows white light w to pass through it and be' dispersed is rainbows of color. .e° Clarity: Most diamonds1,- contain very tiny natural birthmarks known as inclusions. However, the fewer and smaller the inclusions are, the less likely it is that they will interfere with the passage of light through the diamond, and the more beautiful the diamond will be. Carat -weight: This is the weight of a dlar:wnd measured in carats. One carat ii divided into 100 "points." so that a diamond of 75 points weighs .75 carat. Don't forget to take time for yourself Many young women, fanta- sizing about their upcoming wedding day, imagine that it will be entirely blissful, a time when everything will go smoothly without any prob- lems. Unfortunately, this may not be the case. The bride is often shocked to learn that planning a wedding can take as long as six to eight months. some- times even longer. Setting a budget, choosing the wedding and reception sites, selecting a gown, flowers, food and music, and attending to all the other details that make up a wedding, can be as much a source of stress as of plea- sure. An overwrought bride And, it's not unusual for a bride to become so caught up in planning her wedding that she neglects herself in the process. It's important at this time for the bride to keep every- thing in perspective. Above all, she should remember that it is her day, and she should look and feel her best for the occasion. Realistically, if she is going to devote six mouths to placating her wedding, she should also plan time to take care of herself. After all, what's the point of having a beautiful wedding if the bride is too exhausted to be beauti- ful herself? Natural products we best One way for a woman to be sure she'll look her best on her wedding day (no matter how hard she's worked beforehand) is to begin a reg- ular skin care program. "A healthy, smooth com- plexion can do wonders in offsetting the effects of stress and strain." advise the skin care experts. -And the time to start is as soon as possible!" "For a fresh. glowing com- plexion, it's bes: to use natu- ral products based on botani- cal ingredients." the skin care experts state. "As we learn more about the skin. we real- ize that our ancestors who relied on nature's own plants and herbs to care for the skin were right. Natural is best. So, when anyone asks us how to obtain clear. healthy -look- ing skin. here's what we tell them:" 1. Daily skin care: Wash your face twice a day with a pure and mild, glycerin -based cleanser. Aloe, a natural skin conditioner, helps skin feel supple and smooth, while glycerin is a natural humec- tant that helps retain mois- mm. Use this bar instead of soap to cleanse thoroughly without stripping the skin of its own natural lubricants. Tone your skin after cleans- ing with a non-drying astrin- gent. A natural botanical astringent refreshes the skin without irritation Moisturize: For dayume, use a light facial moisturizer, an oil -free type unless your skin is very dry. Before going to bed, use a richer variety. Don't forget the body After you bath or shower, smooth an extra -rich moistur- izer over your entire body. allowing the steam from the warm water to help the lotion to penetrate. (It's important to keep body skin looking great too, since manv wedding gowns tend to reveal lots of shoulder and neck') 2. Shun the sun: Try to stay out of the sun as much as pos- sible. We know that even occasional exposure to the sun can cause skin damage. If you must sunbathe. remember to apply a sunblock with a SPF of at least 15. 3. Once -a -week care: Use an exfoliant such as a loofah or natural cleansing grains to remove deep -down dirt. Follow with astringent to remove all traces of the exfo- liant and to tone and protect the skin. The payoff By adhering faithfully to this skin care regimen, any bride can have a radiant, glowing complexion on her wedding day. Even when her wedding plans don't unfold as smoothly as she expected, she'll look as_ beautiful as though they had.
