"The condition of the body is consistent with when Mr. Thomas went missing* issing " But it may take "weeks or months" before a positive identi&2- tion is made because of the body's condition, Det. Sgt. Mercier said. Police believe the two gunmen used Mr. Thomas's 1989 maroon Chevrolet Caprice in the Gagnon Sports robbery and shooting. Oshawa resident and store co- owner Roger Pardy was killed by the robbers, who fled with stolen weapons in Mr. Thomas's vehicle. The car was found a day later m the back lot of the Villa Dorma apartment complex on Bkoor Street in Oshawa, near Gagnon Sports. Police said Mr. Thomas's wife, Danielle, was "too upset" to make an appearance at the press confer- ence, which was held at 25 Division in Pickering. Mr. Thomas also leaves a teenage daughter, Lesley. A relative who answered the tele- pbone at the family's residence said Mrs. Thomas had no comment to make about the body's discovery at this time. "We're not ready to give out any information," said the man, who refined to give his name. Staff Sergeant Sandy Ryrie, media relations officer for Durham police, said the whole experience has been "a living hell" for the fami- ly. And it's not over yet" Durham Regional Police homicide Detective Sergeant Chuck Mercier fields questions from the media after announcing Wednes- day that the body found in Pickering on the weekend is likely that of Ken Thomas. photo by Ron Pietroniro Police also hinted the probe had been given a boost by the discovery of the body, which was likely dumped in Picketing the day of Mr. Thomas's abduction and Mr. Partly's murder. "Ihere's no doubt when new evi- dence is discovered it aids the inves- tigation," Det. Sgt. Mercier said. "We're following up many leads and many suspects" as part of the investigation into both murders. However, both Det Sgt. Mercier and Staff Sgt Ryrie refused to dis- cuss specific elements of the case, including any evidence found at the site where the body was discovered. Police are confident the two killers will be brought to justice before long, however. "We're positive we'll have a suc- cessful conclusion to this," Staff Sgt. Ryrie said. Police want to hear from anyone who was in the Brock Road SoudyMontgomery Park Road area Sept_ 14 when the body was proba- bly dumped. Anyone with informa- tion can call 683-9404 or (905) 436- 8477.

An example. A person lists his home SIOA higher than he knows it's worth. But then, over the next few weeks - something magic happens. He starts to believe in the higher price. What was overpriced before - is now priced exactly right. And then the tragedy. A buyer comes along and makes a realistic offer. He's turned down flat. Why? The offer and the asking price are miles apart. It gets worse. This home probably won't sell until there's a significant drop in the price. Usually this doesn't happen all at once which leaves the home on the market months Ionger than it should be. As a result the home will likely sell for less than it should simply because of the overpricing. This will give you some indication why I spend so much time with my clients before recommending a selling price for their home.

The $3 -million, 800 -page repots, took two years to compile and con- tains 167 recommendations for overhauling the province's elemen- tary and secondary school system. While initial reaction to the rec- ommendations was positive, Ontario Education minister Dave Cooke has yet to release his response to the report. Those pro- gram rogram and policy initiatives are expected within the next few weeks. According to Durham Board of Education chairman Patty Bowman, who attended yesterday's press con- ference, the school board has a bead start on implementing many of the commission's recommerKlations. "We have many aspects of the recommendations already in place," she said. " Ibe Durham board on its own, or through the Ontario Public School Boards Association, has requested many of the recommen- dations contained in the report," Ms. Bowman says. Those recommendations include: - the creation of community councils at each school. - greater emphasis on teaching computer, math and language skills. - a new standardized math and literacy test for Grade 3 students. - a Grade 11 province -wide liter- acy test- - tougher qualifying require- ments for teachers, as well as a teacher accreditation system. - province -wide, standardized report cards. - opening the school system to children as young as three. - a shift in full responsibility for curriculum away from school boards to the Province. - a pay cap of $20,000 for school trustees and a limit on the size of school boards to between eight and 12 trustees. - the formation of an educational auditing body.

Money the hospital gets from the Province isn't sufficient to han- dle the increased number of patients or the growth in the two communities the institution serves, Mr. Atkinson says. "I'm trying to understand the reasoning, (the) politics for this. There's no political win in this. We've been told there are no funds available" Expansion of the hospital was a "Feld of Dreams. If we build it, they will come and they did come," Mr. Atkinson says. The ambulatory (out-patient) unit deals with 41 per cent more patients than before the expansion, the operating rooms 20 per cent, emergency department 12 per cent and in- patient 10 per cent. "We're running a lean, lean operation, with a high ooc�uparicy. It's usually 100 percent." Mr. Cliff says, "We've net a lot more volume through the hospital. The numbers we can treat have gone up. That's cost us extra money. Growth costs, but the min- istry isn't in a position to fund it this year or next. After a series of meetings — the final one last week — ministry staff' "said they're not prepared to fund us with more money," Mr. Atkinson reports. The hospital board held a "tough meeting" Tuesday, when it decided to take the axe to staff and beds, Mr. Atkinson says. "There was a lot of anger directed at the government. It's so unfair and so unjust." But the anger "isn't directed at (Durham West MPP) Jim Wise- man', because be's been working with the hospital to get more money, Mr. Atkinson says. The pigected deficit is for the hospital's fiscal year,.which ends March 31. The hospital has an accumulated operating debt of $1.4 million and a capital debt of $6 million. The ministry offered to pay oft' the accumulated operating debt, Mr. Allinson says, but the hospital would come up short again next year unless it received more money to pay for the day -today costs of running the facility. In order ID maintain a balanced budget for 1995-96, the board decided to run the hospital on rev- enue from the ministry and money the facility can raise. For its cur- rent fiscal year, the hospital received $29.6 million from the ministry and raised $4.7 million by charging for such things as parking and semi -private moms. To pay off the capital debt, the hospital has to run fund-raising campaigns.

The News Advertiser y uses recycled taewsprint The Royal Commission on Learning's final report released yesterday contained few surprises for educators in Durham Region. The S3 -million, 800 -page document was warmly received both by school board officials and parent groups and contains 167 ambitious recommendations for over- hauling Ontario schools and curriculum guidelines. Earlier this month, the News Advertiser spoke out strongly in favor of at least two of the proposals the report was considering: the creation of community councils made up of parents and educators, and the call for a shift in responsibility for curriculum to the Ministry of Educa- tion. We still believe those two recommendations now included in the final report should receive the highest pri- ority among educators. But we'd like to call for the quick implementation of two others the final document calls for -- limiting the size of school boards and greater teaching emphasis on com- puter, math and language skills. To its credit, the public school board is well on its way toward some of the recommendations (it has already reduced the number of trustees), and is moving quickly into the new educational era the royal commission is attempting to create. The separate school board is also grappling to shed itself of traditional teaching methods that become more ineffective as each school year passes. And that bodes well for children nearing school age in the region. But school boards across the province must act quickly and decisively if the measures proposed by the royal commission document are to provide a lasting improvement. Perhaps education should add a fourth `R' to the old Reading, Writing and Arithmetic adage: Reform. To the editor: Will the real Marnee Stern please come forward. As an avid reader of your paper I consid- er myself one of, I'm sure, many who are amused by the not -so -subtle frequency of your contributors to your letters section.

Mayor Edwards says he's eager to meet with SWGH to "see what common measures" can be shared in opposing the y proposal to turn the local hos- pital into a regional rehabili- tation centre. Whitby mayor The citizens' group and Tom Edwards Whitby council have each filed strong opposition to any plan to hospi take acute-care services away from tion, WGH. August, a consultant reported status quo in health care in tario, including Durham, cannot continue because it's too expensive. One of the ways suggested to help alleviate the rising cost of health care is to eliminate acute care in Whitby and to build a reha- bilitation centre to serve all of Durham. But, asking Whitby resi- dents to go to Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital and Ajax -Pick- ering Hospital for general tal care has met tough opposi- stresses Mayor Edwards.

A steering committee set up by Durham Region District Health Council is expected to release its stand on the issue shortly. After the health council reviews the steering committee's position, it will make its own recommendation which, in turn, will be sent to the Ministry of Health. Mayor Edwards stressed that Whitby council asked the health council to re -open public discussion on the matter. "We haven't got a reply yet," he says.

The truth is, the Futurtekids classes fill very quickly, so it's best to beat the last-minute rush and book space now. Since Futureldds opened its door in Pickering, it has enjoyed tremendous success. Children learn all about computer hardware, wordprocessing, programming, telecommunications, desktop publishing, spreadsheets, robotics, graphics. An assortment of skills and knowledge can be acquired in the challenging Futurekids environmatL Although adult courses arc now available, children have always been a specialty at Futurekids. The school's theme -based curriculum changes on a regular basis, thus keeping sdtdents motivated, always anticipating what they will be learning next Students with limited computer knowledge concentrate on learning the basics, while the mono advanced students are constantly challenged with more complex literacy skills. The school's staff mambas are committed to ensuring that students have the opportunity to participate as responsible computer users. And students - at their own level - are already getting a taste of our complex business Innttrne is available to children at Futurekids. A special interest group is being introduced, to enable students and their parents to experience this exciting technology. For those who have an inventive streak, the Young Inventors program allows children to create their very own product idea, then use the computer to build and market that product. After conducting market research at other Futurekids centres via E-mail, the students will use a CAD program to build a model of their product and design a store in which to sell it. Using wordprocessing and desktop publishing programs, they will then develop a marketing plan and print their very own business cards. Younger students won't be left out, as they will design toys. make masks and posters, and work with scanners to add pictures to stories about their favorite toys and games. Educators who are familiar with the Futurekids concept have been asking how a similar environment can be recreated in the public school setting. That's because the Futurekids learning centres are rich environments where children use technology to do exciting things - such as exploring planets, or journey under the sea, or even design birthday cards to send via on-line networks to children around the world. Then there are the Futurekids Family Technology Nights offered to public schools. Here, staff and parents discover the latest technology for use at home and in school. Participants learn about technology trends in schools, dips on selecting software for borne use, the effects of technology on learning and how Futurddds fits into the equation. Schools interested in having a Family Technology Night should contact Fmmkids in pickaing, Expanding its . adalle to prepare young minds for the future today, Fututekids also offers French classes for children. Tbose as young as three will team and develop French vocabulary and correct prounnciation through songs, games and crafts. These one -boor Classes begin in February and run for 12 sessions, with a maximum of eight children to each group. Wbile the children are broadening their skills at V..".w., A. _A..b- W"vc,aaa7 lAgMAU y CUUF3e, as WW as COmpuW COUrses geared to those with limited or no computer skills. Gasses range from Introduction to Computers to Lotus 1-2-3 to Introduction to In' F L Planned for the future are other exciting children's programs, including graphics for young artists.

AN HOW$ & VUERIORS. }B1116 PAGE 5 New HoszaCas OLZIL 3 IiztCs�iors Choose your home builder carefully s1oRy By AuDm LEBLANC Many consumers become embroiled in the home buying frenzy that can overtake new home buyers. The purchase of a house is a significant investment requiring unhurried homework and the first and most important step a new home buyer can take is choosing a reputable builder. The Ontario New Home Warranty Program (ONHWP) defines a reputable builder as one who registers with ONHWP and enrolls every unit. A reputable builder oversees all the stages of construction and makes every effort to ensure a home buyer receives a home that is free of defects. The consumer should avoid rogue builders who try to circumvent ONHWP. Although these builders are a minority, their unwillingness to adhere to legislation should send loud warning signals to consumers. A home built by an unregistered builder would still be protected by warranty but there would be fewer safeguards involving good after- sales service and receiving accurate warranty information. Locating a builder who has built both good houses and a reliable reputation begins by consulting the Home Buyer's Guide to After Sales Service. A free, annually updated publication compiled by ONHWP, the Guide rates several thousand builders on their after sale service and provides quick, alphabeticalized listings for home buyers to use as reference as they visit the subdivisions where they prefer to live. Checking out a builder's reputation is as simple as knocking on a door. New homeowners are normally very willing to crow or complain about their choice of a builder. These homeowners are living with the builders' successes and failures. The homeowners' experiences give insights into a builder's workmanship and after sales service. Discovering how quickly and efficiently a builder completed repairs should provide invaluable, first-hand information to prospective home buyers who want to make a wise decision. Once new home buyers begin their crucial research they quickly realize the quality of a home correlates to the quality of its builder. A builder should be willing to divulge where previous projects and homes are located and remain helpful to the home buyer who shows an interest in owning a well built home. A builder should also have a constantly evolving knowledge of the construction industry and be able to discuss housing needs with a neophyte home buyer. IF111Q)1&ES TER�ORS TnaoTaT J.

The publisher reserves the right to classify or refuse any advattsement based on his sole discretion. Ideally, the home buyer wants a builder who treats the Ontario Building Code as a minimum of construction standard while routinely going over and above the requirements. One method of determining the work ethic of a builder is to solicit comments from present owners, family and friends who have recently purchased a home. Compare the after sales service programs available from builders. Three and six month follow-up inspections and five year guarantees on materials and workmanship are some examples of after sales service packages offered by some builders. These after sales guarantees are a sign of reputable builders who are confident about their work. Local home builders' associations, bank and trust company seminars are another excellent source of information to the home buying public. Practical workshops on how to buy a new home, the importance of the pre -delivery inspection and how to maintain a new home are often advertised. Take the opportunity to have all your home buying questions answered by various experts in the home building industry. The marketplace can seem like a labyrinth of options to a new home buyer. Since purchasing a home is a major expense, consumers should never feel rushed into a decision when looking for a new home. Take the time to assess your needs against your wants. A room -by - room check list of your must have's and wants establishes your priorities. Educated consumers make sound decisions that they can live with.

Most of us can only dream. "Fewer and fewer families today are finding themselves able to be in the position of buying a new home," says Stephen Kassinger, a builder and president of the Oshawa - Durham Home Builders' Association. "Nowadays it takes two incomes and there's more struggle to get a down payment and to make payments and it's unfortunate." But Kassinger says builders are currently tackling many issues such as lot levies, building codes and GST that all add onto the costs of a new home. Across Ontario the raw costs of building a home (such as lumber, bricks and mortar) are all within a few dollars of each other, notes the president. "But we're still significantly higher (in this province). Ontario is amongst the highest in any jurisdiction in the country and the reason is land," says Kassinger. "it takes longer for us to go through the approval process than it did for World War 11. The cost of corralling through the levels of bureaucracy and levels of government in Ontario all adds to time and cost." However, he says home builders are working to keep costs down for the new home buyer to make that "dream" a "reality". The largest component to land costs are the lot levies paid to the region, the municipality, public utilities and now, school boards," notes Kassinger. "Depending on the municipality, that means somewhere about $14,000 on each new home and we're trying to limit the increases.' The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is also added onto the price of new homes and yet resales are not taxed. He notes that building code changes are made to ensure the safety of the occupants, but now many xi- of the changes — which may provide comfort to the new home owner — do not improve safety in ` any way.

For most of us that dream comes as a bigger or more luxurious house. For some, a dream home is a place that looks after their special needs and allows them to live a normal life. It is safe to say Bernard Flanagan never thought his dream home would feature an elevator and specially -designed kitchen cabinets. But after a 1990 industrial accident left him wheelchair bound, those are exactly the features Flanagan's dream needed. To realize this dream, Flanagan commissioned Kassinger Built Homes to build a house that was not only wheelchair accessible but allowed him do everything from cooking his own meals to enjoy a shower. The 24 -year-old man has now moved into his dream home. "We sat down with him and went over his current home," explained Stephen Kassinger as a guided a tour through the home. "We discussed the things he liked and didn't like and proceeded to design a home that met his needs." The project started at Kassinger's Highland Gardens, community in Courtice. Flanagan - visited the remarkable Stirling model, an R-2(XX) home employing leading edge design, materials and construction techniques. He liked what he saw. "The house uses basically the same layout as the Stirling model home," Kassinger said. "We just had rework the stair configuration a bit to accommodate the elevator." The rest was pretty straightforward. To allow Flanagan access to all areas of his home, there is no carpeting and doors were made slightly wider than usual. Light switches and door knobs are a little lower than those in most homes. Most of the rethinking came in the kitchen and bathroom areas. To allow Flanagan complete freedom in his kitchen (and Kassinger reports, he likes to cook), counters are approximately six -inches lower and the kickplate has been extended approximately four - inches. The kitchen sink is shallower and the lever -type faucets make it easy to operate. Space below the sink and countertop stove have been left open to allow Flanagan room to manoeuvre his wheelchair. In the bathro-om, the vanity design has been altered and the shower allows the wheelchair to roll right in. Like throughout the rest of the home, switches and controls have been lowered to make them easy to reach and operate. Flanagan's home features all the attributes of the Stirling model home, being an R-2000 home is high in energy efficiency, improved air quality and environmental friendliness. The home features a heat recovery ventilator (HRV), which Kassinger includes in all its homes. HRVs run 24 hours a day and work to remove stale indoor air and replace it with fresh air from the outside. It also uses the Elan Series home electronic network, which allows homeowners to access their existing audio and video equipment from any room in the home. Flanagan can also operate his front door simply by picking up his telephone. A home security system allows the homeowner to see who is at his front door on any television. "The adjustments and alterations we made were not significant. We try to do that with all our clients in making changes wherever possible to give them the home they want," Kassinger said. "The biggest change we had to make was to include the elevator." Even there, the work required was straightforward. Kassinger contacted Robertson Elevator, in Pickering, and the company informed the builder of the dimensions needed to install the device. "The need for more homes of this nature is increasing," said Kassinger. "People with special needs don't want to live in institutions. They want a place they can call home." s s 4 1 r r - .• t : •. • Vv r .- "'k •F74'i • vs •.'v.s • •i , — 11' _ - _ - _ - - - - . - - - . - - . - . .. , . _ - . - ....,.

Technical requirements have been expanded to make R-2000 homes environmentally friendly - inside and out. R-2000 specifications already cover virtually every aspect of construction, making R-2000 houses cleaner, quieter and less expensive to heat and maintain, even though they usually look no different than conventional homes. They include high levels of insulation, energy- efficient windows, insulated doors and high -efficiency heating systems. There are also high standards for ventilation and air filtration, which together with a device called a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) assures a continuous supply of fresh air into must be water-based, made for use indoors, or meet standards set by Environment Canada. Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities musts be made from manufactured wood products, must use formaldehyde -free particle board, meet international standards for particle board, or have all exposed surfaces sealed with a water-based sealant. To lessen the impact of the house on the environment, builders must use recvcled material for at least one application in the house. If the builder chooses to work with insulation. for example, fibre re glass insulation must be at least 50 per cent recycled glass, cellulose insulation must be made from 100 per cent recycled paper, and mineral fibre insulation must be at least 50 per cent recycled. Roofing must be made form recycled metal, paper, wood fibre, plastic or rubber, and sheathing and drywall must have a high degree of recycled material. Fibreboard must be made from recycled newsprint and wood fibre, waferboard must be manufactured from fast-growing trees such as aspen, siding must be made from factory and sawmill waste, and drywall must contain recycled gypsum and newsprint. Studs and trim must be made from sawmill cutoffs and waste and be free of formaldehyde. The new requirements also call for builders to reduce the amount of water used by showers, toilets and faucets. The new standards are good news for everyone concerned about the environment and the millions of Canadians with allergies or sensitivities to chemicals - at least one in four, according to the latest figures - says Susan Clinesmith, manager of the R-2000 Home Program. "The cause of these allergies and sensitivities can come from many sources but it's suspected that some improvement could be made by paying more attention to the way homes are built and the materials used," she says. Partners in the R-2000 Home Program are the Ontario Home Builders' Association, Ontario Hydro, the Ontario Natural Gas Association, the Ontario ministry of environment and energy, and Natural Resources Canada. Participation by builders is voluntary and there are more than 500 in Ontario licensed to build R-2000 houses after going through an extensive program of workshops and training that includes the building of an R-2000 house. Further information is available from any licensed R-2000 builder. R-2000 homes are cleaner, uieter and mo environmentally friendly inside and out every room. This means the home can be made airtight, which prevents drafts, heat loss and uneven temperatures, and prevents mold and mildew caused by moisture getting into walls and ceilings. It also keeps out pollen, dust and other irritants, reduces food and pet odors, and limits outside noise. The "green" requirements say more recvcled and reused material must be used during construction and that toxicity and contaminants inside the home can be reduced by the kind of materials used. Frank Gianone, chair of the steering committee of the R-2000 Home Program in Ontario, said R-2000 homes are the most energy-efficient and comfortable houses in the world and the new technical standards make them the most environmentally -friendly. "There's growing awareness of environmental issues and these new technical requirements address those concerns," he said. "They look at the impact of the house on the environment and at the environmental conditions in the house." The new requirements make R-2000 houses environmentally friendly inside and out. Inside, the new standards reduce toxicity and contaminants caused by many kinds of carpeting, paints and varnishes, adhesives, coatings, and the particle board used for kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. Carpeting must not cover more than 50 per cent of the floor area, including the basement, unless it is free of glue, used without an underpad or with a low - toxicity underpad. Natural fibre carpets of wood or cotton are not restricted if there is no underpad.

That's something you can't do with cash in the bank or some fancy mutual fund. Builders and real estate people have been saving it for years. Now comes evidence from the federal government's Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC) in a recently completed study into house prices over the last 23 years. They found that prices in what is called the Toronto census area increased by 556 per cent and that when taking out the effects of inflation, houses prices in real terms rose by 57 per cent. That's a gain of two per cent a year over and above inflation. The survev also showed that the average price in the Toronto census area in 1971 was $31,882, which had jumped to $208,852 by 1994. The Toronto census area covers not only Metro Toronto but the area as far west as Oakville and Milton, as far north as Newmarket and Aurora, and as far east as Pickering and Ajax. Further east, in the Oshawa census area, which includes Whitby and Clarington (Bowmanville), the figures were just as impressive. Royal bank says cost of owning a home is up The proportion of income spent on home ownership went up from 33.1 per cent to 39.1 per cent in 1994, based on average costs across Canada, according to the Royal Bank of Canada. Rising mortgage interest rates were mostly responsible but higher prices - particularly in British Columbia - also contributed, said bank economist Steve Stinson. In the greater Toronto area, the cost of owning a home went to 43.7 per cent from 36.4 per cent in the same period, based on a median household income of $47,300. Mortgage payments, heat, electricity and municipal taxes are factored into the calculations. Insurance and maintenance costs are not. The bank uses a five-year mortgage with a 25 -year amortization in its calculations and assumes buyers had a 35 per cent downpayment. The average price of a house in the Oshawa census area in 1971 was $23,508, which had risen to $140,554 in 1994. That's an increase of 498 per cent and a real gain after inflation of 1.6 per cent. The Toronto area prices ranked fifth in house price increases in 17 of the biggest housing markets across Canada, the Oshawa census area prices coming in at nine. But a CMHC official said the two areas were likely comparable, given that prices in Metro Toronto itself would have boosted the Toronto figures overall. great i Top of the list of house prices was Vancouver, which recorded a whopping 1,043 per cent increase. Rounding out the top five were Victoria at 831 per cent, Thunder Bay at 690 per cent and London at 572 per cent. Comments CMHC, "These rates (of increases)... are market -wide averages and are only rough indications of the experience of people owning homes in this period. "For any centre. location and style are always a critical consideration which determines whether a home's value rises faster or slower than the market nvestment WON average." Differences in house price trends over the last two decades are attributable to demand and supply, says CMHC. "Pressure on prices by incoming population and constraints on land availability are among the most important factors that have influenced prices in Toronto and Vancouver... and Oshawa." The federal agency says "timing, timing, timing" has replaced "location, location, location" as the main consideration for purchasing a home in rapidly growing markets.
