Pickering looks into the basement Councillors concerned with proposal to legalize apartments By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING –City councillors have some concerns about a staff proposal to legalize base- ment apartments in Pickering. Staff from the planning de- partment made a presentation to the Pickering management forum Monday on the appro- priateness of permitting and reg istering accessory dwelling units (ADU), which are self- contained units within an ex- isting unit, such as a basement apartment or an in-law suite. The City knows ADUs exist throughout urban Pickering and because most are illegal, safety is a concern. “They are an issue with Pick- ering today... Most of our ADUs do not comply with zoning. There are major safety issues with them,” said Neil Carroll, director of planning and devel- opment. If a registration bylaw were passed, the units would be in- spected and homeowners would have to comply with safety regulations. It would also give the City a better record of the number of ADUs that exist in Pickering. “I see the benefits in terms of affordable housing and safety. I’m just not sure this is going to give us the solution we’re Po r table concerns raised But school board says possible mould problem likely the result of mat By Mike Ruta Staff Writer PICKERING – A damp mat re- moved from a Pickering class- room portable likely had mould on it, but there’s no danger to students, says the public school board’s health and safety offi- cer. A Durham District School Board report on the Westcreek Public School portable noted airborne fungal sampling re- sults were “suggestive of indoor fungal amplifier.” “That means that the species profile inside and outside (of the portable) was different, so it’s maybe suggestive that there was mould growing under the walk-off mat,” says Gary Gib- son, the board’s health and safety officer. He is awaiting test results, due back in about two weeks, which could confirm the mat was mouldy. However, some parents say their kids should not be in the portable until the school board knows for sure. “At the very least, the kids should be kept out of the portable for two weeks until that test comes back,” says par- ent Rick Barnes. To allay concerns, principal Kevin Lowe kept Grade 2 stu- dents out of the structure for two days last week. They were back Friday because, he says, board staff indicated there was no reason for concern. Parents received a letter from him last week stating, “the portable is a safe and healthy environment.” Mr. Barnes claims the board is covering up the fact that it discovered mould in the B R U C E B I S S E L L 201 Bayly St. W., Ajax, Ontario: (between Westney and Harwood) B U I C K P O N T I A C L T D . 683-6561 GMAC fin. eg: $10,000 @ 0% = $208.33 mo./48 mo.

Coun. Pickles also raised concerns that a large number of residents would come for- ward wanting to create a base- ment apartment in their home and this would cause problems with parking. Mr. Carroll explained in other municipalities where a registration bylaw has been passed there wasn’t a great in- f lux of homeowners wanting to create units in their home. “The ones that are out there are out there today and this would be registering them,” he said. Staff will prepare a report for executive committee next month.

The provincewide Pa- tient Safety Support Service is to protect peo- ple by reducing errors, infections and patient falls in the hospital, said Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman in a press release. The service, which is being established by the Ontario Hospital Asso- ciation, is to include ed- ucation and training for front-line staff; tools and information to promote patient safety; and on- site assistance in identi- fying systems and proce- dures that might hinder the delivery of safe care and to recommend changes to improve pa- tient safety. The new two-year pro- gram comes with $1.4 million in provincial money to operate. “When the ministry announced the funding we were really welcome to that and look forward to hearing further de- tails,” said Tricia Root, manager of occupational health and safety and in- fection control. Even though Rouge Valley isn’t sure exactly how much money it will see, Ms. Root said it was already being spent. “We’ve been given the clearance to buy equip- ment with the money announced by the Province,” she said Fri- day, adding existing equipment would be up- dated and new pieces bought. “Rouge Valley is com- mitted to providing safe care to patients and a safe environment for staff,” Ms. Root said, adding volunteers, staff and patients are the hospital’s top concern. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 12, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P All of the FREE activities listed below will be held at Centre Court.

He also notes it contains no men- tion that a second set of test results is on the way. His son began the school year in the portable and has developed nasal polyps. Lynn Barnes says her son’s bloody, runny nose condition disap- peared on the Christmas break, reappearing three days after he returned to school and the portable. He has since been moved into a class in the school building. Doug Gellatly’s son is also in the portable. He says the school and board have done a poor job of in- forming parents of the sit- uation, also noting the let- ter home did not speak of more test results. “The parents should be aware of that; we should all be aware of what’s going on,” says Mr. Gellat- ly. “They’re accountable to us. I just think we’ve been kept in the dark on it.” Initial testing of the portable indicated there was a point near the door where moisture was enter- ing the building. As well, carbon dioxide levels were above what is considered to be present in a comfortable environ- ment. Those problems have been addressed with re- pairs and a new exhaust fan, says Mr. Gibson adding any student dis- comfort could be linked to high carbon dioxide levels. Three inspections later, he says there’s no evidence of mould in the portable. Neal Mattes, senior pub- lic health inspector at the Durham Region health department, tested the portable Friday to deter- mine if moisture was en- tering the building. “We didn’t find anything inside or outside that would lead us to believe there’s any moisture get- ting in the portable that would cause mould to grow,” he says. If the mat was indeed the culprit, Mr. Mattes says the second test should confirm it. Mr. Gibson says the board’s long-standing mould management plan, which has been held up as a model for other school boards, sees the board do annual inspections of and preventive maintenance on its portables. The health department also does an annual audit of a sampling of the board’s portables. He can’t remember the last time mould, growing on a surface somewhere, was found in a local portable.

Parents ‘kept in the dark’ ✦ Parents from page 1 Sculptor helps take art to a new level By Mike Ruta Staff Writer PICKERING – The curtain is closed, but the William Dunbar Public School stage is the scene of a major production. It has been transformed into an artist’s studio, and every one of the school’s 21 classes is painting, cutting, drawing and otherwise cre- ating art in a school-wide project. Facilitating all the activity is sculptor Bill Fraser from Bethany, the school’s artist-in-residence for the past month, who fields a few thousand queries a day. “They want to do it all,” he says of the excited stu- dents. “They want to paint, they want to sculpt, they want to work with clay. And they want to do it all right now because they’re so hungry to work with their hands and make something.” Vice-principal Sandy Doble says school principal John Howard challenged her to come up with a school-wide project with an arts focus. She and Mr. Fraser poured over the ele- mentary school curricu- lum, settling on an ecologi- cal niche theme with ties in every grade to the art and science curricula, on strands such as life and space and earth systems. The school community council approved of and is funding the project, which costs about $10 per student in the 600-pupil school. Ms. Doble says each class spends an entire day in the studio with Mr. Fras- er, working on their indi- vidual project with materi- als like plywood, fabric and paint. “It’s a surprise every day,” she says. “We don’t know what it’s going to be because it all comes from the students’ imagina- tions.” The Grade 1s have made a bird town after speaking in class about where birds live. Some have chosen to make birdhouses, while others have opted for a more natural nest. On a re- cent day, Angela Wurster’s Grade 6 class was working on their contribution to the project. They are mak- ing creatures to be placed on a painted log, repre- senting the different envi- ronments creatures inhab- it, such as the water and the earth. “We studied the diversity of living things in our class,” says Amy Marchant. She was working on a la- dybug to be placed on the ground section of the log. Kaitlyn Irving was mak- ing a snake. She took a piece of cut plywood, cov- ered it in green fabric, and applied beads on the end for a snake rattle. The final touch was a plastic fork to represent the snake’s tongue. “I’m having fun doing this because I love drawing and art and stuff,” says L auren Albin. “And I’m also learning about ani- mals and their habitats.” Ms. Wurster was man- ning the glue gun for stu- dents, and a line of pupils awaited their turn. “They’re getting to work with materials we can’t provide them with in the classroom,” she says. “This is a once-in-a-school-year project for them. It’s some- thing they’re putting a lot of effort into for the pride of putting it up in the school.” Ms. Doble says the works will all be perma- nently displayed in the school. “Years from now they can come back to the school and point out a piece of art and say, ‘I did that,’” she says. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 12, 2004 PAGE 7 A/P Food Court Area (905) 837-0564 OPEN ALL YEAR Mall Hours: Feb. 2 -Apr. 30/04 Income Tax Returns INSTANT CASH REFUND (some exceptions apply) E-FILED REFUNDS IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS ALL INCOME TAX RETURNS PREPARED (Personal, Business, Corporations & Trusts) BOOKKEEPING SERVICES AVAILABLE Best Accounting Firm PICKERING TOWN CENTRE READY CASH E-FILEE-FILE MONTESSORI LEARNING CENTRE PICKERING “Knowledge with Understanding” 401 Kingston Rd.

Children need good role models To the editor: Re: 'Family unit must contain male and female parents,' letter to the editor, March 7. Perhaps Andy O'Connor can refresh my memory - when was it in the history of mankind that we swung from branch to branch and lived among the trees? I do recall the 'Neanderthal' cavemen whose feet were firmly planted on the ground, but let's hope he's not suggesting that we live by caveman standards. There are many variations of families in this day and age, and there is no evidence that one family type has created more 'confused identity' children than others. Each parent, regardless of their gender or marital status, has negative and posi- tive aspects. It's part of being human. For the most part every human being offers something special to their children and that is what people should be focusing upon. Gender doesn't determine whether you are a decent human being, or a good parent, and it certainly doesn't guarantee that every man, and every woman in- volved in a marriage represents a perfect example of their gender or heterosexual values. 'Confused identity' children as Mr. O'- Connor put them, come from all walks of life. Even heterosexual families have cre- ated their equal share. As long as we're talking ancestry, it's fair to assume that most homosexuals come from heterosex- ual families so could it not be said that the male/female family units create con- fused identities? The bottom line is, we live in a multi- cultural society where difference should be embraced not criticized. Not only is in- dividuality a part of human heritage, it is part of the human experience and to de- value a family because it does not have one male and one female, is unfair. Erin Sandercombe Pickering Letters to the Editor Hockey being ruined by violence Criminal actions in sport must not be tolerated Hockey is much more than a sport to Canadians. For many of us, it's a way of life, the one thing about Canada that defines us, that often makes us the very best in the world. Recall the pride we shared when our men's and women's teams took Olympic gold in 2002. Our 1972 win over the Soviets was simply amazing, never to be forgotten. But there are times when the ugliness of hockey is shame- ful, when the goons of the sport make us sick. The revenge attack by Vancouver Canuck star Todd Bertuzzi on unsuspecting Colorado Avalanche rookie Steve Moore on Monday night was horrifying. It stands out as a clear slap in the face to all those parents and children and volunteers who have worked so hard to get cheap shots and ugly play out of hockey. The focus on removing the hit (or at- tack) from behind, the drive for fair play, the push by Don Cherry, among others, to have the STOP sign placed on jer- seys and helmets, has taken a beating as a result of Mr. Bertuzzi's actions. The whole incident took just a few seconds, but will result in many months of recovery for Mr. Moore, who suffered two broken vertebrae in his neck. The early prognosis is that he will, thankfully, make a full recovery. But now it's up to the NHL to get it right. Young people across Canada who look up to hockey players - and Mr. Bertuzzi is a much-admired star - deserve to know what the Vancouver forward did was wrong. Absolutely wrong, with no qualifications. Mr. Bertuzzi's actions were totally inappropriate and could well have been life-threatening, given his size and his intent to injure. Talk is cheap, apologies and regrets hollow. Mr. Bertuzzi deserves a severe suspension - no more hockey this season, or in the post-season. An example must be set that such be- haviour has no place in our sport. And discipline could well go further. The Crown may de- cide Mr. Bertuzzi's attack goes beyond what players should expect to encounter in a professional hockey game. He may face criminal prosecution for what he has done.

A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 12, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Editorials &Opinions FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Stephen Shaw left at the top of his game When my father was living, he had a good friend named Ozzie. They were co-workers who shared a love of golf. It was more passion than pastime for Ozzie, a wizard on the course. Fittingly, his buddies dubbed him, The Great Oz. Ozzie died at a golf course after finishing the best round of his life - a life full of great golf rounds. He had shot in the 60s, but the score- card was never found. I thought of this ending to Ozzie's life when my colleague, Stephen Shaw, died suddenly on the weekend. I never worked directly with Stephen, but respected him tremendously. Stephen was a fan- tastic reporter. The crime beat comes with a certain guarantee of big stories, and Stephen certainly had his share. But it takes a great reporter to tell great stories, and Stephen was among the very best. He never lost track of important cases, diligently following them through the court system until they finally came to trial, where- upon Stephen would be there to get the story. His work speaks for itself. He was tireless not only in the pursuit but also in the writing of a story. He was a tiger. Perhaps it's a gift reserved for some outstanding talents, that they leave this world at the top of their game. An hour before his death, Stephen had won a second reporter of the year award from the Ontario Community Newspapers Association. He had also picked up the award for best investigative news story. By all accounts, Stephen was on Cloud 9, enjoying with his co-workers one of the best nights of his life. That it all ended so suddenly, after such a high, in front of his col- leagues and friends, was a shock we are all still recovering from. As per Jewish tradition, Stephen's funeral Tuesday was brief and simple. In our sombre Ajax newsroom, we celebrated a colleague by shar- ing and reflecting on some funny moments we had with Stephen. We remembered what a gift he had, and how his family and work were the two passions in his life. I still laugh when I picture Stephen trudging down the fairway at our company's annual golf get-together - I've never seen a guy look so out of place on a golf course. He was no Ozzie, but Stephen had other tal- ents... To his family, my sincere condo- lences. May God comfort you. Mike Ruta's column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion.com.

The Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School is one of 30 Canadian high school students awarded a Canadian Merit Scholarship, valued at up to $60,000 over four years. “I get to choose any university in Canada and tuition is paid for, and then I get $7,000 a year for liv- ing expenses,” he told trustees at Monday’s Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board meeting. “And then I get summer study travel money. I choose an area for study each summer and they fund me.” Mr. Petrogiani applied for the scholarship and others in Sep- tember. According to the scholar- ship foundation’s Web site, it is awarded to students who “demonstrate service to the com- munity, character, leadership po- tential, entrepreneurial energy, as well as academic excellence.” Mr. Petrogiani’s resume speaks for itself. He has a 90-per cent av- erage, and has been a member of St. Mary’s student council for each of his four years there- cur- rently he’s the president. He is also the founder and one of the leaders of the Manresa Youth Group and a member of the St. Mary Improv Team (SMIT). To receive the scholarship, he was interviewed by each of the four foundation judges, by the scholarship founder, and then by all of the judges in a group set- ting. “I was just myself; there’s noth- ing more you can be than your- self,” Mr. Petrogiani says. Fittingly, he learned he was re- ceiving the scholarship on his mother’s birthday. Ever since Grade 9 he had promised her he would achieve a full academic scholarship. “It was the greatest gift I could give my mother and myself,” he says. Without a scholarship, Mr. Pet- rog iani says he would have had to take a year off after high school and work to pay for university or apply for a student loan. He and other Durham students recently returned from the Do- minican Republic. For several years Sue Laforet, religion cur- riculum chairman at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Sec- ondary School in Oshawa, has arranged trips to Consuelo. Stu- dents stay in local homes, experi- ence day-to-day life and gain an understanding of the culture, re- turning home with a desire to help others. It was Mr. Petrogiani’s first ex- posure to people living in poverty. “I felt powerless to the poverty there and the injustice of the eco- nomic and political instability,” he says. Mr. Petrogiani has already de- cided he will go to the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. He describes himself as a goal- setter, and has a big one for the future. “I want to change the world, and if not the world a small part of the world that is here, whether it’s the people around me or soci- ety,” says Mr. Petrogiani. “God’s given me the grace to do it.” Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Alex Petrogiani has earned a Canadian Merit Scholarship, which will see him travel the world for his studies. Out to travel and change the world Storks wins Storks award Veridian director first recipient of honour in her name DURHAM – The Electricity Dis- tributors Association (EDA) has honoured the achievements of Veridian director Pauline Storks. Ms. Storks, ironically, was pre- sented with the Pauline Storks Di- rector Award, making her the first recipient of a new EDA award named in her honour. The association has established this award to pay tribute to local utility directors who demonstrate “the qualities of tireless dedica- tion, leadership, passion and com- mitment to the Association and its mission.” Ms. Storks has been involved in the electricity business for over 16 years. She first served on the Clar- ington Hydro Commission and was soon elected to the board of the Municipal Electric Associa- tion, which is the forerunner to the EDA. She became the first woman to chair the industry association and recently celebrated an 11-year tenure on its board of directors. John Wiersma, the chairman of Veridian’s board of directors: “It is extremely satisfying to see Pauline rewarded for years of ded- icated work on the board of our in- dustry association. She has been a leader in our business during a time of unprecedented change, and has never diverted her atten- tion from the interests of cus- tomers.” Veridian Corporation is respon- sible for distributing electricity to more than 90,000 customers in Pickering, Ajax, Belleville, Port Hope, Uxbridge, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Beaverton, Sunderland and Cannington.

A total of 158 full- and part-time positions were filled due to retire- ments, transfers and “new opportu- nities,” according to a year-end human resources report presented to the Durham Regional Police Ser- vices (DRPS) Board this week. DRPS lost 31 sworn officers and seven civilians to retirement in 2003. But it managed to fill those spots and others with a mix of new re- cruits and transfers from other po- lice services, said director of corpo- rate communications David Selby. “We attracted 30 from other ser- vices,” said Mr. Selby, who attributes it to the reputation DRPS has for being a well-managed service with a healthy salary and benefits package. “Durham Region also has a way of selling itself,” he said. “We’ve been fortunate to attract experienced offi- cers from other services, who have been 10 or 15 years on the job.” Of the 158 positions filled in 2003, 76 were sworn officers and 82 were civilians. The department also re- ported 41 promotions, with the vast majority being advancements from constable to sergeant or detective. Durham schools will attend event for 60th anniversary By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –Durham students have a chance to make history this spring. In May, 152 students, teachers and family members from Port Perry High School, Anderson Collegiate and Vocational Institute and Cour- tice Secondary School are going to Juno Beach in France, where Cana- dian forces landed on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Two years in the works, the trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them and will mark the 60th an- niversary at the recently-completed Juno Beach Centre, a museum hon- ouring Canada’s contribution to the war effort. The group is taking with them a ‘We Remember’ time capsule that will be buried on the centre’s grounds and opened again on the 100th anniversary of the invasion. Grade 10 students at Port Perry have adopted a Second World War veteran and created a commemora- tive piece about him for the capsule, and now other schools are invited to do likewise. “We are asking students in Durham Region to adopt a veteran; the veteran could be alive or not,” Port Perry teacher Nancy Hamer Strahl said last week. She said after deciding upon a vet- eran, the next step is to contact the veteran or his/her family and learn more about the person. From there, students are to write a story, song or poem or create an artistic piece about the veteran, and have it trans- ferred to CD ROM. The last step is to ask the veteran or family for a token that could be included in the capsule, such as a picture, military badge or button from a uniform. On the stainless steel time cap- sule, built at PPHS, will be engraved the names of the participants and sponsors. The submission deadline is May 1. For more information on the trip and time capsule, visit www.junobeach.ca. Port Perry teacher Dave Robin- son, who organized the trip, says the students embarking on the May 30 to June 7 trip have been selected as the official ushers at the D-Day event June 6. Dignitaries including Prime Minister Paul Martin, Queen Elizabeth II and United States Pres- ident George Bush are slated to at- tend. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 12, 2004 PAGE 11 A/P Duffin Meadows Cemetery has been serving your community since 1993.

CruiseShipCenters has been one of North America's leading cruise vacation specialists since 1987. As a result, we have preferred rela- tionships with the world's most popular cruise lines and receive special pricing on the most popular destinations and departure dates. We also purchase large blocks of staterooms in advance to ensure the lowest prices available and to offer additional exclusive on board amenities.This week continues our overview of the select cruise lines we offer. Celebrity:The ships of this line are sleek and sophisticated.They display elegant touches such as a champagne-and-caviar bar, martini bar and AquaSpa that offers a thalassotherapy pool and spa amenities that rival any on land or sea. Celebrity is also widely praised for its out- standing cuisine.In addition to meals presented with white-gloved service, there is traditional English high tea, gourmet pizza delivery to staterooms, and "gourmet bites" - when waiters carry trays of appetizers through lounges from midnight to 1 a.m.Suite accommodations even come with butler service. Disney:Disney brings its innovative style to the sea with its two ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder.These ships are fami- ly-oriented while offering refuges just for adults. In addition to longer cruises, you can choose a shorter cruise where you can combine three or four nights at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Extensive children's programs offer age-specific activities from 9 a.m. to midnight. Holland America:The ships of this line offer a traditional style of cruising. Service is attentive and the line promotes a "no tipping" policy. There are plenty of planned shipboard activities including lectures, dance lessons, fit- ness classes, afternoon tea, bingo, and more. These ships are elegantly decorated with fine art and nautical antiques. Solo cruisers can take advantage of the Single Partners program. Agree to share a stateroom with another guest of the same sex and pay the per-person,double- occupancy rate.This enables you to avoid a sin- gle supplement.The rate is guaranteed even if a roommate isn't found. NCL:The midsize ships of this fleet are classy, comfortable, and easy-to-navigate. On board entertainment is varied including full Broadway productions, cabaret acts, live bands, and karaoke sing-alongs. Service is always attentive. The complement of pool attendants who are on hand to mist sunbathing passengers with spritzes of Evian is an especially nice touch.

When the 12th Ajax Brownies put out the call in the News Advertiser for old and used appliances in order to prepare for an ad- venture looking at how everyday items run and work, the response was overwhelming. Troop leader Lorraine McCall noted the items ranged from toasters and lamps, to even bigger appli- ances such as a sewing ma- chine. The Cadarackque Public School-based group even found a volunteer to get things running just right. John England examined all the appliances to deter- mine what was wrong and took them apart. From there, he attended a recent Brownies meeting where he and the girls went over the tools and techniques re- quired to repair and fix the used appliances so they could be given to the Salva- tion Army. His efforts are helping the girls achieve their tech- nology, today and tomor- row badges. The repairing of the ap- pliances is an excellent ex- perience for the Brownies, says Mrs. McCall. This is a great adventure that really demonstrates the importance of recycling and how easy it is to reuse old appliances instead of purchasing a new one, adds Mrs. McCall, noting the group is grateful for all the donations and Mr. Eng- land’s help.

Have you been dreaming of building a new deck, adding on a room or constructing a garage? Well, spring is here and your dreams can come true. Ever yone enjoys spending time outdoors during spring. Building a deck can bring new life to a seldom used backyard. Plan your deck to take advantage of the yard features you most admire, such as flowerbeds or a grove of trees. When building a deck, work carefully around existing trees. Try not to disturb their roots during the foundation stage of construction and don’t allow heavy equipment to park near them. Until now pressure-treated wood has been the standard for decking. Today, advances in technology have produced a new product called composite decking. Composite decking is made of a combination of plastics and wood chips or sawdust. It contains over 50% recycled materials, making it environmentally friendly, and it is durable, strong and resistant to warping, cracking, splitting and termites. Composite decking does not need sealing, painting or staining, and since it doesn’t absorb moisture, it will look new for years to come. All of these features make composite decking virtually maintenance free. Family room additions are one of the earliest spring projects. Ty pically, the planning stages of the project take place throughout the winter, such as working up a floor plan, collecting bids and selecting materials and colors. As spr ing approaches, homeowners and contractors alike are anxious to break ground. It’s a resurgence of the great room where multiple activities take place in the same area. One end of the room might contain a big-screen television and group seating, while the other end includes space for a desk or large table for games or school projects. A room addition such as this may take two to three months to complete and cost between $15,000 and $25,000, depending on the complexity of the project and materials used. W hen thinking about a large project such as this, homeowners should “have a budget in mind and zero in on what level of quality they want.” Most reputable contractors are flexible and offer homeowners suggestions for getting the highest-quality materials while staying within their budget.

Continued from page 18 During the winter, do some research to get a feel for the price you’re willing to spend on individual items, such as tile flooring or bay windows. Come spring, you’ll be armed and ready to make those final decisions. Another popular spring home improvement project centres on the garage-either erecting a new garage where there was none before or replacing a crumbling, one- stall, detached garage. Many homeowners are now opting to tear down their old garages and build new two-stall garages tucked behind and attached to their homes. The most important thing homeowners can do when building a deck, adding a room or constructing a garage is to follow the city codes and get inspections if required. Then and only then can you give new life to the areas of your home that sorely need it.

As such, it’s an investment you’ll want to protect. O lder homes especially, and new homes as well, need regular maintenance. Here is an annual checklist of areas that need to be inspected to keep your home in top condition. Exterior Maintenance • Gutters and downspouts need year-round attendance to make sure they are operating properly. Improper water drainage can ruin a foundation and cause other costly damage. • Window and door caulking should be secure. If it’s missing or pulling away, it could lead to water infiltration and eventually damage the substructures. • Check the grade around the foundation. Over the years dirt may settle and a layer of topsoil may need to be added to maintain a slope away from the house. Don’t allow low areas to remain and collect water. Fill them immediately. • Watch for broken or missing roof shingles. Your roof is your home’s only defense against inclement weather. Keep it in top form. • Chimney mortar that is crumbling or missing should be replaced. Holes in the mortar will allow water to seep in, causing further damage. Keep all your receipts for permanent home improvement projects such as new siding. You’ll need them for documenting warranty claims and replacement costs for insurance purposes. Interior Maintenance • Keep the caulking around the tub and sink in good repair. If deteriorating, it could leak water into substructures. • Check your basement for peeling paint on exterior walls. Does the basement smell musty? Are mold and mildew present on exterior walls? These are all indications of moisture in the basement. Take steps to stop moisture with dehumidifiers, sump pumps and de-watering systems in addition to the exterior maintenance methods mentioned above. • Tub surrounds should have grout and tiles intact. Missing grout or loose tiles can lead to wall damage from water. Pay particular attention to the area around fixtures. • In the kitchen, again it is water that causes the most damage. Check around the edge of the sink where it meets the countertop. Does it have a good seal? Next check where the countertop meets the backsplash. A leak there could cause wall or cabinet damage. • Wa l ls and ceilings are prone to mildew if not ventilated properly. Look for irregular brown spots. A brown ring can signify water damage; a thorough investigation is needed to locate the leak and repair it. • Electrical boxes should be in good repair at all times and free from rust. If you notice a rusty panel, call an electrician immediately and don’t touch it. It is a good idea to keep all the maintenance manuals for appliances, furnaces, water softeners, fans, wood burning stoves, etc. They contain valuable information on operation and safety. Many have problem-solving areas for the homeowner and contact information for parts and supplies. Be sure to return the warranty card if one is provided. Keep these manuals in a filing cabinet where you can get your hands on them in a hurry if necessary. All homeowners should keep emergency contact information handy as well. Know how to reach your plumber after hours. Keep the phone numbers of electricians, heating and cooling professionals, and handymen on one list so they are easily accessible. Also include emergency medical assistance phone numbers, such as doctors and poison control technicians, on the list. Protect your money by protecting your home. No matter how long you plan to live in the house, good repair will aid in appreciating its value.

Pickering 905-831-5632 PHOTO LAB Trustees will consider move March 22 By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –Two Scugog schools remain unhappy twins, but still have a chance to se- cure their own, full-time custo- dian. Durham District School Board trustees, on Monday, voted down a motion that would have R.H. Cornish and Prince Albert public schools each secure a chief custodian for eight hours a day. Current- ly they share a day custodian who works a twinned assign- ment, splitting time between the two schools. At last week’s standing com- mittee meeting, Scugog Trustee Steve Martin’s motion to un-twin the two schools was defeated 6-4. “The system for us as chair- men, I believe has failed us,” said Trish Paterson, school community council chairman at R.H. Cornish, in an inter- view after the meeting. She and Prince Albert chair- man Claire Marsh contend that their schools are unique among the board’s 19 twinned schools, as they have a com- bined 1,000-plus students. As a result, they say each school re- quires a full-time custodian to deal with messy problems that arise during the day, calling it a health and safety issue. Ms. Paterson said trustees appeared to have too many numbers in front of them re- garding the cost of un-twin- ning, creating confusion. The women say redistributing the custodial hours they currently have, so that each school has eight day hours of custodial time, would cost $9,006 a year. Jack Massie, the board’s fa- cilities superintendent, in an e- mail to Ms. Paterson, con- firmed that number was “in the ballpark.” However, on Monday he claimed it would cost about $12,000. He main- tains that four evening hours, a consequence of shifting hours to the day, are not enough to clean the much-larger Cornish. Mr. Massie says he believes twinning works, noting that at one point he thought of twin- ning every board school. The women rebuffed the board’s argument that un- twinning their schools would mean un-twinning all assign- ments. Ms. Marsh said some twinnings haven’t worked in the past and others have dis- appeared due to attrition. “None of the un-twinnings set a precedent, so I don’t think that that can be consid- ered to be an issue,” she said. Behind-the-scenes negotia- tions between the women and board officials failed to result in a deal they could accept, leaving trustees at a loss of how to deal with the matter. “What it basically comes down to is there’s no way we can move the evening custodi- an into a full-day position, par- ticularly at Prince Albert,” said Trustee Martin. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford and Whitby Trustee John Dolstra suggested the parties again meet to try and strike a compromise. However, other trustees felt the issue had received enough airing. “The fact remains that there’s a serious problem at these schools and it’s up to us to make a decision,” said Pick- ering Trustee Sherry Croteau. Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett said trustees could not deal with the Scugog schools in isolation, and he feared a six- figure expense for the board if all schools were un-twinned. “Although I fully support where the SCCs and parents are coming from, I don’t know where the next school is going to come from,” he said. Trustee Barrett called for a recorded vote on Trustee Mar- tin’s motion to un-twin the Scugog schools. Trustees Elizabeth Roy (Whitby), Kathleen Hopper (Oshawa), Marilyn Crawford (Ajax), Lisa Hill (Ajax), Bar- rett and Dolstra voted against the motion. Trustees Susan Shetler (Oshawa), Gordon Baxter (Uxbridge), Croteau and Martin were in favour. Trustee Paul Crawford ab- stained. All is not lost for parents, however, as trustees at the March 22 board meeting will consider Trustee Shetler’s mo- tion to un-twin all schools. Board looks at splitting twins SHERRY CROTEAU ‘A serious problem at these schools.’ Replace old potassium iodide pills with new DURHAM –New potassium io- dide (KI) tablets are being provided to selected drug stores by the Durham Region health department, in con- junction with the Durham Emergency Management Of- fice. The move is a result of the Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan. Since April 2002, the KI tablets have been made available to citizens liv- ing or working within a three- kilometre radius of the Picker- ing and Darlington nuclear generating stations. Known as the contiguous zone, the Pickering zone boundaries are defined as Whites Road to the west, Hwy. 401 to the north and Duffins Creek to the east. The Dar- lington zone boundaries are Courtice Road to the west, Baseline Road to the north, and Waverly Road to the east. KI tablets help to prevent or reduce the amount of radioio- dine absorbed by the thyroid gland in the unlikely event of a serious nuclear accident. The shelf life of the current KI tablets has now expired and they should be replaced as soon as possible. Residents are requested to assist in the safe disposal of the expired pills by bringing them to the following drug stores: Bay Ridges Pharmacy, 1235 Bayly St., Pickering, 905-839- 1123. Guardian Main Drug Mart, 1885 Glenanna Rd., Pickering, 905-831-8181. Liverpool Pharmacy, 715 Krosno Blvd., Pickering, 905- 839-4300. Axis Global Drug Mart Pharmacy, 130 Waverly Rd., Bowmanville, 905-623-2333. Courtice Pharmacy, 2727 Courtice Rd., Courtice, 905- 432-8888. KI tablets are free to indi- viduals living in the contigu- ous zones. The recommended dosage of the new tablet has changed. Details can be found on the information sheets pro- vided with the tablets, along with indicated expiry dates. For more information on potassium iodide tablets or the Provincial Nuclear Emer- gency Response Plan, call the health department at 905-723- 8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2188, or contact the emer- gency office at 905-430-2792, or 1-877-938-7426.

AT BAYLY 905-683-3210 Kristy Dobson hopes success on the ice leads to Olympics By Jeff Hayward Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —Having tasted gold already, a local figure skater is hungry for more. At age 14, Kristy Dobson is al- ready etching her name into the local skating circuit with several medal placements in the last year of competition. To top off her recent accomplishments, which include a gold medal for her short and long programs at the 2003 Spring Skate Competi- tion, Dobson is representing central Ontario at the Ontario Winter Games in London March 11 to 14. She goes into the games in fine style after finishing first at an event in North Bay Feb. 28 and 29. "I'll be competing against some of the skaters at North Bay at the Ontario games," Dob- son explained, saying she feels confident going into the compe- tition. The Pickering resident, who has been skating since she was two, is a French immersion stu- dent at Pickering High School. She spends up to 20 hours per week on ice, under the instruc- tion of coach Bob Emerson. She will be relying more on her presentation than her technical abilities to edge out the competi- tion at the games. "I can do a lot of cool moves that the other skaters can't do because I'm so flexible," she said. Dobson already has her sights set on the Olympics, saying her role model has been young American skater Sasha Cohen, who competed in the Olympic Winter Games in 2002. Beyond her budding career on ice, Dobson has also been fea- tured on television and the big screen. She was chosen from ap- proximately 400 applicants to be the skating double for the star of 'Blizzard,' which was released in Canada last December. A.J.

The Monarchs - the 14th-seed in the 18-team Ontario Federa- tion of School Athletic Associa- tion (OFSAA) 'AAAA' champi- onships - beat two higher-seed- ed squads to arrive in the quar- ter-finals of the prestigious event. They faced their toughest test of the tournament, howev- er, in the quarter-final contest played Thursday night, after press deadline. The Monarchs were expected to play the top- ranked and two-time defending OFSAA champion Eastern Commerce Saints of Toronto, with the winner moving on to the semifinals this morning. The Monarchs advanced to the quarter-finals after defeat- ing the 10th-seeded St. Anne's Secondary School Saints of Te cumseh 54-45 on Thursday morning. The Durham champions led 14-9 after the first quarter, with the Saints coming back to over- take the Monarchs in the sec- ond quarter for a 23-22 lead at the half. St. Mary outscored St. Anne's 19-11 and 13-11 in the third and fourth quarters, re- spectively, to win its second consecutive game at the cham- pionships. Nathan Thomas and Erik Glavic led the Monarchs with 14 points apiece; Duane Howard added 13. The Monarchs began OFSAA tournament play Wednesday night by shocking the eighth- seeded C.W. Jeffrey's Collegiate Saints of North York 49-46. After opening up a 44-33 ad- vantage after three quarters, the Monarchs held off a furious charge by Jeffreys in the final stanza. Thomas led the way with 16 and Howard chipped in with 14. KRISTY DOBSON Going for gold at Games.

Central Region ringette squad has gold-medal hopes in London By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM —There was a giddy excitement surrounding the Cen- tral Region 'AAA' Cyclones ringette team at its final practice session in Whitby Tuesday night. The 17-member Central Region squad was getting together one last time at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre before heading off to London to compete at the 2004 Ontario Winter Games in London from March 11 to 14. This weekend, approximately 2,500 young athletes in the province will play in 23 sports during the Games, which kicked off yesterday with the opening ceremonies. One of the longest serving members of the team, Shauna Hamer, was with the Central Re- gion ringette squad at the On- tario Winter Games two years ago in Cambridge. The team won sil- ver that year, but she hopes gold is a distinct possibility this week- end. "I'm hoping for a better result this year," says Hamer, 18, of Whit- by, who plays defence. "We've had more practise this time around. We 're more focused on our goal this year." The chief reason for the opti- mism heading into the Games, says forward Jodie Hannen, is the close-knit group that has emerged and the camaraderie that has surrounded the team. "We're very experienced and we all play at the 'AA' level and we get along really well," says Hannen, 15, of Pickering. "I think this year, the team is like a family," added Shannon Ross, 17, of Ajax. The team's solid chemistry, says centre Melissa Findlay of Os- hawa, has translated well on to ice this season, which should be a big plus for the squad heading into the Ontario Games. "I think we'll do really well be- cause of our chemistry. We play really well together," says Findlay, 16 , one of the co-captains on the team. In fact, all 17 members of the team come from Durham Region, mostly from Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa, with one player, Amanda Curry, from Port Perry. As well, most of the players were picked for the Central Re- gion 'AAA' squad from one of four high-calibre teams: The Whitby junior 'AA', Whitby belle 'AA', Whitby belle 'A' and the Ajax ju- nior 'AA' squads. In preparation for the Ontario Winter Games, the Central Re- gion Cyclones played in three tournaments, winning a bronze medal in North Bay, while taking the silver in Pickering. The squad also played a series of exhibition contests in Bala, Ontario recently, splitting games with the North- East 'AAA' squad. Scott Blakey, an assistant coach with Central Region, is also impressed with how the players have forged a strong bond since being put together after a series of open tryouts that started out with 60 players and was whittled down to a roster of 17 players. "They've bonded together really well," says Blakey. "We're very pleased with the girls. There's quite a wide age group and the players come from four different teams, so they've come together very well." The hands-down favourite for gold for ringette at the Ontario Winter Games is the Eastern Re- gion squad. The Central Region hasn't beaten them this season, but Blakey says there's not a lot to choose from any of the five teams competing this year. "All the teams are even, so any one of them could come home with the gold medal," he says. "Eastern Region is a stronghold of ringette and a lot of the best play- ers come from that area. But, we have our share of strong players also." Head coach Sue Shantz is more emphatic. She's predicting gold for her squad. "Gold medal all the way," she says. "Over the years, we've coached other teams and had our ups and downs. But, the team this year is great. They're a great bunch of girls with a lot of heart and dedication. We've got a chance to show what we've got and hopefully it will be gold." The Central Region squad hit the ice Thursday for its first match of the Games against Southern Region. The result was- n't available at press deadline. Ac- tion continues today when they play the North-East squad. On Saturday, Central Region plays the Western Region and the East- ern Region teams. Playoffs will commence on Sunday. NOTES:Ross, Hamer and Find- lay all plays with the Whitby belle 'AA' squad at the provincial championships in Sudbury last weekend. The Whitby squad won the silver medal after losing to Ot- tawa 7-1 in the gold-medal final. Meanwhile, Hannen and Sam Puddister, both of Pickering, played for the Whitby junior 'AA' squad at the provincials, also in Sudbury. The juniors also had to settle for silver, after dropping a close 4-3 decision to Gloucester in the gold-medal contest. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 12, 2004 PAGE 33 A/P rrs TM G O L F L I Q U I D A T O R S G O L F L I Q U I D A T O R S GOLF LIQUIDATORS Holiday Inn Oshawa 1011 Bloor St. E.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Fun on a sledge AJAX –– Ajax High School boys’ and girls’ hockey team players wipe out on the ice while engaging in a fund-raising sledge hockey contest at the Ajax Com- munity Centre on Tuesday afternoon. The teams raised $800 to help fellow student Jeremy Booker who plays for the national team. He’ll travel to Sweden to compete in the world championships from April 15 to 26. AJAX — A young Ajax resident is off to a great start in her competi- tive gymnastic season. Jenna Remedios finished first all- around at the Retro Boogie Provin- cial Qualifier in the level 3 Argo cat- egory over the Feb. 28 weekend. The nine-year-old made a clean sweep of the four events, winning gold on the bars, vault, beam and f loor exercise. This follows a second-place finish at the Tampa Bay Turners Invita- tional in January, where she faced athletes from all over the United States. In her first event of the season, Jenna placed seventh at the Tour Selection meet in the pre-novice na- tional category last December. "My gymnastic goals right now are to continue to have fun and try to do as well as I can at each com- petition," said the Grade 4 student at St. Bernadette Catholic School in Ajax. Jenna trains up to 25 hours a week at the Scarborough Gym- Elite's Gymnastic Club. Her next competition is the Friendship Classic in Pottsville, Pennsylvania March 20 and 21.
