No Olympic glory,
but Perdita Felicien
proved she has gold
mettle attitude
DURHAM — Perdita Felicien
proved once again in 2004 that she
was the world’s best on the track.
But it was in August, on the world’s
biggest stage, that she proved she
was an athlete with few peers off
the track as well.
Ms. Felicien’s amazing year, filled
with wins, awards and devastating
heartbreak, make her the Picker-
ing News Advertiser’s newsmaker
of the year for 2004.
The Pickering native started
her year in March by proving her
world outdoor 100-metres hurdling
championship of August 2003 was
no fluke. In Budapest, Hungary
for the World Indoor Track and
Field Championships, Ms. Felicien
sprinted to the 60m hurdles crown
in a Canadian record time.
The victory not only touched off
celebrations in Pickering, but also
began an incredible year on the
track. Ms. Felicien kept running,
and winning, as she prepared for
the Olympic Games in Athens. In
fact, she ran off with six straight
titles heading into Greece, serving
notice she was the woman to beat.
She went into the Games as one
of our country’s few clear favou-
rites for a medal, and as the final

Whitby wants new deal
By Danielle Milley
and David Blumenfeld
Staff Writers
PICKERING — Bill McLean isn’t too
concerned about the possible separa-
tion of the Town of Whitby from the
Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Ser-
vices contract.
The Ward 2 regional councillor and
member of the PAW committee isn’t
worried over what he said sounded
like an ultimatum from Whitby.
“I’m not overly concerned about
putting another plan of action in plan,”
he said.
Whitby is seeking an administration
fee from Ajax and Pickering since the
service is run out of that municipality,
to be negotiated in a new deal since
the one signed nearly 20 years ago is
up for review.
In 1985, an agreement was struck
between the three municipalities to
provide animal care and control ser-
vices in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby.
A joint board was established, and it
was agreed that by acting together, all
three municipalities would be better
positioned to offer quality services in
an effective way, said Don McKay,
Whitby’s corporate services director.
But with the agreement now “out of
date,” the time has come for Whitby to
negotiate a new joint animal services
contract, Mr. McKay said.
But Coun. McLean doesn’t think
Pickering should have to pay more for
an administration fee.
“There are benefits derived from
having the building in their town,” he
said. “It is a break even.”
Neither Pickering nor Ajax agreed to
the administrative fee proposal. If they
can’t reach an agreement by Jan. 31
the current PAW agreement is going to
be terminated effective Dec. 31, 2005.
Mr. McKay said the economies of
scale model has benefited and served
each of the municipalities well, but
staff felt it was time to review the
agreement.
“A jax and Pickering have increasing-
ly relied on Whitby to take the lead in
the development, delivery and admin-
istration of animal services programs
and operations,” he said. “While Ajax
and Pickering have played an impor-
tant contributing role in the area of
policy develop-
ment, it has been
left to Whitby
to administer
and manage
the day-to-day
animal services
operations and
programs.”
The overhead
costs associated
with these ad-
ministrative ser-
vices are significant, he added.
Coun. McLean said the relationship
has benefited Pickering and the other
municipalities well, but maybe it is
time to move on.
“It was a good run and we have
made some great improvements over
the years and maybe it is time to have
a new option,” he said. “There’s no
rush. We still have time.”
He said there are several options
Pickering is considering, including
turning a building at the operations
centre on Brock Road into a shelter
and offering the service in partnership
with Ajax, going it alone, or contract-
ing out the service.
On Dec. 13, Whitby council agreed
that Ajax and Pickering be advised
that Whitby desires to negotiate “a
new deal.”
If terminated, Whitby must pay Ajax
and Pickering one-third the value of
the animal services premises, includ-
ing buildings, equipment and related
property.

options for animal services
PICKERING — It took a while, but
City of Pickering staff finally ratified a
new deal.
The three-year contract is retroactive
to March 31 and goes until March 31,
2007.
Staff receives a 3.5-per cent increase
in the first year and three-per cent in-
creases in the following two years.
There were no other significant
changes, said Everett Buntsma, Picker-
ing’s acting chief administrative officer.

This is the final story in a 12-part
series dealing with how Durham
Region will meet its future growth
demands.
By Carly Foster
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Perched on the top
of Ajax on a once tree-lined dirt
road, Dorothy Westney’s house
embodies the very essence of
growth in Durham.
Over the past year, her magnifi-
cent green and white farm house
has been slowly surrounded by
development: overturned dirt and
stakes are within inches of her
property. A subdivision with hun-
dreds of houses is being built on
the 198 acres Mrs. Westney’s hus-
band sold to developers in 1988.
She will have brick houses and
backyards facing her airy blue and
white sunroom.
It’s still jarring to come over the
crest on Westney Road and see
the tops of gigantic pine trees on
her front yard dwarfing everything
around. If the sight of all those
houses doesn’t take your breath
away, Mrs. Westney’s two-acre,
farm-reminiscent property, juxta-
posed against them, will.
The Region says this is all part
of community planning. Growth
is happening where and when it’s
supposed to be happening, in a
clearly defined manner: up from
the lake to a town’s urban bound-
ary. This type of growth is suc-
cessive and makes the best use of
available services.
It’s been interesting to observe
the many sides of growth over the
past year, especially those of the
regular Durham resident, whether
it be overheard in coffee shops,
from neighbours, at council or
during interviews.
Most people understand growth
has to happen. It’s what drives a
community’s economy, creates
jobs, adds diversity and maturity
and character to a neighbourhood.
To w ns evolve as they age and as
new people move in.
Many people have picked Dur-
ham to live in because of these
very reasons. But once many peo-
ple get here, they don’t want it to
change.
And that’s when problems can
occur. It’s called Not In My Back
Ya rd (NIMBY).
If you complain about prime
agricultural land being paved over
and destroyed by commercial and
residential development, you must
be prepared for infilling. That
means you could very well have
an apartment building in your
once-unobstructed backyard. Or a
new office building jammed onto a
downtown parkette.
This could be Durham’s not-so-
distant reality for a number of rea-
sons. The Region seems rightly ap-
prehensive over extending any of
Durham’s eight municipal urban
boundaries, which would allow for
more growth within those areas
and further encroachment onto
our beautiful greenspace.
And recent legislation from
the Province — including the
proposed greenbelt and policies
directing how and where growth
should occur — will shape devel-
opment in Durham.
All of this makes you wonder
what’s going to happen in the next
15 or so years, when a projected
323,000 more people are going to
move here.
That’s the current population of
Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington
combined. Driving around the re-
gion, it’s hard to envision where
all those bodies are going to go, let
alone where the services such as
roads and community centres to
support those people are going to
come from.
Boom Town has also raised
questions about the social fabric
and quality of life in Durham. We
are car-obsessed and dependant,
and drive everywhere — even to
the corner store. Downtowns are
slowly being replaced by big box
stores, although some towns are
working on this.
Some argue we interact less with
our neighbours because our com-
munities are planned around cars,
not around sidewalks and public
transit. The fact that we spend so
much time commuting doesn’t
help.
Our growing and aging popu-
lation is also placing huge pres-
sure on family doctors, hospitals,
schools, police and day care.
And will Durham be able to eco-
nomically support its residents?
Will there be enough jobs for all
the people who plan to move here?
The Region’s long-term goal is to
have one job for every two people.
But for that, we need other types
of growth: the expansion of the
407, a federal airport in Pickering
and a bigger and better Durham
College and University of Ontario
Institute of Technology.
To balance everything out, we
need all the commercial and in-
dustrial building Durham can get.
These industries fork out big taxes,
pay for most of their own services,
such as waste disposal and snow
plowing, don’t put a demand on
social services and create jobs.
But if you live in the north, times
are changing. Communities are
running out of water and sewer
capacity. The Province is putting a
stop to community expansion and
putting in stricter controls over
agricultural land, which will limit
both residential and commercial
growth. That means local councils
will be forced to keep increasing
taxes to be able to pay for ser-
vices.
Many mayors are concerned
this will drive out residents who
can’t afford to pay, and create elit-
ist communities.
If any of these issues concern
you, don’t be afraid to speak to
your local and regional politicians
and councils. Your voice will be
heard, and the system is easy to
navigate.
Yo u can help shape Durham as
it continues to grow.

Durham Tamils
open fund in Ajax
to aid survivors
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
DURHAM — The Durham Tamil As-
sociation has set up a bank account to
collect donations to assist Sri Lankan
Tamils impacted by the tsunamis that
struck the island on Dec. 26.
Over 23,000 Sri Lankans are believed
dead and the grim toll continues to
climb, both in Sri Lanka and other af-
fected nations. The latest estimate is that
100,000 people may have been killed as
some areas, especially in Indonesia, are
still reporting vast areas of destruction
and countless dead.
Association president Muttukumaru
Chandrakumaran, who has been in
contact with relatives on the devastated
island, says information is still hard to
come by, even for Sri Lankans. An esti-
mated 4,000 are unaccounted for.
“Nobody knows where the people
are,” he says of the missing.
Mr. Chandrakumaran says in just a
few days between $3,000 and $4,000 has
been collected in Durham by associa-
tion members. However, he is vowing
not to send a dollar to the country until
he can ensure it will reach victims of the
disaster in Tamil-controlled areas. The
Sri Lankan civil war has been raging for
over 20 years, pitting Tamils, the largest
minority group in the country, against
the Sinhalese majority. There are fears
that aid sent to Sri Lanka will not end up
assisting Tamils due to the conflict.
The money raised in Durham will go
to the Tamil portion of the country, one
of the hardest hit.
Mr. Chandrakumaran says the scope
of the tragedy means meeting the im-
mediate needs of the survivors, for water,
shelter and food, will just be the begin-
ning. The civil war has already created
many orphans, he says, and many more
are without parents because of the di-
saster, never mind the houses and infra-
structure that must be rebuilt.
“It’s not going to end with this relief
effort,” he says.
The relief fund account is at the TD
Canada Trust branch at 15 Westney Rd.
N. in Ajax (Westney Heights Plaza), but
donations can be made at any TD Can-
ada Trust branch. The transit number
is 536 and the account is in the name of
the Durham Tamil Association, to whom
cheques can be made out. The account
number is 5208898.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Durham’s issues
are never-ending
It’s the start of a fresh year and another chapter in the life of
Durham Region will unfold. But, for so many issues that are
important to the residents and businesses here, the saga will
be ongoing rather than reaching a conclusion.
First up is laying the groundwork for a new regionwide transit
system, which should be in place by Jan. 1, 2006. A seamless,
integrated system that will allow residents to travel from one
end of Durham to the other is a great move. But the new transit
authority will come with growing pains and tax hikes, so keep
your wallet handy.
It would be nice to see Hwy. 407 expand from Pickering east-
ward across the region, but the wheels of progress are turning
slowly there. The environmental assessment terms of reference
have been submitted to the minister of the environment for
review, but construction on the badly needed extension is not
likely to start until 2010. The best we can hope for this year is to
see the project move as quickly as possible through the plan-
ning and approval stages.
Maybe this will be the year Ontario Power Generation gets its
act together on refurbishment of its Pickering Candu reactors,
which have steadily climbed over budget and are well behind
schedule. In November, OPG pegged the work as costing be-
tween $75 million and $100 million more than a July estimate,
with the restart of Unit 1 at a projected price tag of $1 billion.
Another story to watch in 2005 is the proposed Pickering air-
port. It will be years before a shovel is in the ground, but the next
step is a federal environmental assessment and there will be
many opportunities for public input on the project. Residents
and elected officials in Durham need to ensure the airport is
both needed and planned properly.
Lastly, but certainly not least, it will be interesting to see if the
Liberal provincial government will move ahead significantly
on the much-promised and long-awaited new courthouse for
Durham. It would be nice to see that one project completed in
this calendar year.
Most churches against same-sex marriages
To the editor:
Re: ‘Churches deal with same-sex ruling’, News Advertiser,
Dec. 15.
I believe that most churches and Christian leaders in our
region have grave concerns over the Canadian government’s
headlong rush to adopt same-sex marriage, whether it is
termed ‘marriage’ or ‘blessing’.
The issue for me is not that we want people to be unhappy
or that we insist on doing things the way they always have
been done. We believe strongly that the Lord our God has
given us the Bible so that we can live in a way that best
matches the way we were designed and created.
In the same way that it is not in our own best interest to
steal, murder, lie and commit adultery, it is for our own
benefit to partner in marriage as one man and one woman
for life. We know that none of us is able to fully live up to the
‘O wner’s Manual’ and that is why the forgiveness purchased
by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is so important and why this
season is so special — the coming of God’s Son who would
bear the sins of the world.
It is reasonable, that in presenting this issue, there should
be some recognition of all the major positions, especially
since, in this case, the position held by most churches was
not even mentioned. It would not have required too much
more effort or space, but it would have made this story much
more reflective of how Churches deal with same-sex ruling.

Resolutions require
determination in order
to make them come true
H appy New Year Ajax and Pick-
ering. May 2005 be your best
year yet.
Here it is, the start of a new year and
it’s the traditional time to make resolu-
tions. Just as a suggestion, if the fine
politicians making the rules for Dur-
ham Region need an idea, how about
resolving to try one more time to see
reason and change the election system
for our top politician.
The people of Durham Region have
made it clear they want a role in decid-
ing who the chairman is of Durham
Region council. A note to all of the poli-
ticians who voted against it: think it
over and get talking to your fellow poli-
ticians about bringing this one back to
the table at the Region.
It’s a new year, a fresh start and
there’s time to make changes yet before
the next election comes around, if you
really want to get this done for the resi-
dents of the region.
As for resolutions, the problem for
most people is the desire behind them.
Ta ke for example the annual pledge to
quit smoking, the most common reso-
lution outside of losing weight. If you
don’t truly want to quit, the resolution
is meaningless.
But there is help out there if you’re
serious about kicking the habit. Dur-
ham Region has programs throughout
the year and the health department
would be more than happy to help you
put down those toxic cancer sticks for-
ever.
If you don’t care about yourself and
your chances of living to a ripe old
age, do it for someone you do care for,
whether it’s your spouse or children
or friends. Think about the danger of
second-hand smoke too.
And on another note for anyone who
is still miffed with me about a previous
column talking about the president of
mychoice.ca, I can only say this: appar-
ently subtlety is dead.
Even though I wrote I’d feel a twinge
of guilt making fun of smokers, the fact,
is I will never give up telling people to
quit. Smoking is a killer.
So my resolution this year is to avoid
any subtlety in my columns. After all,
we’d hate to spark debate and get peo-
ple talking about these kinds of issues,
wouldn’t we? Better to stay quiet and
avoid controversy.
Oh well, there’s my broken New
Ye ar’s resolution.

Elections, Seaton, and
an airport top the list
PICKERING — A look back at the year that
was in Pickering reveals a city that made many
headlines, both locally and provincially.
There were several major issues that had
city residents offering opinions, many of which
will continue to be debated well into 2005 and
beyond.
Federal election — MP Dan McTeague
was re-elected to the House of Commons
in the new riding of Pickering-Scarborough
East in the June 28 election, while Pickering
regional councillor Mark Holland made his
jump to federal politics by winning the new
riding of Ajax-Pickering, which left his Ward 2
seat vacant.
Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean was
appointed by his colleagues in July to fill the
vacancy and a byelection was scheduled to
fill his seat. Doug Dickerson was then elected
to his fifth term in four decades; he was first
elected in 1978.
✦
Sirens — The purchase of nuclear alerting
sirens for Pickering has caused some prob-
lems for residents and councillors.
Durham Region purchased the system,
which was paid for by OPG, because the Prov-
ince mandates an alerting system be in place
within a three-kilometre radius of a nuclear
power plant.
Under the proposal put forth by the Region,
27 sirens would be erected in Pickering. The
system is a 45-foot tall tower with a siren on
top. At public consultations held in April, more
than 300 people came out to voice their oppo-
sition.
City staff is currently working with regional
staff on reducing the number of sirens and
changing their proposed locations. A re-
port should come to council in the next few
months.
✦
The airport — The Greater Toronto Air-
ports Authority released its draft plan in No-
vember to build a two-runway general avia-
tion airport in north Pickering by 2012, with
the airport expanded to three runways and
nearly 12 million passengers to handle com-
mercial spillover from Pearson in 2032.
Open houses were held in November and
December with hundreds of people coming
out to ask questions, many of them expressing
opposition. Voters Organized to Cancel the
Airport Lands (VOCAL) also held a meeting
in December to mobilize those opposed to an
airport in an effort to have it cancelled.
The next step is an environmental assess-
ment, which is to take two to three years to
complete. The federal government has the
final say on whether the $2-billion plan is ap-
proved. (The GTAA would fund the project).
✦
North Pickering — Seaton and the Duffins
Rouge Agricultural Preserve had to be two of
the most talked about areas in not only Picker-
ing, but all of Durham.
The area is the subject of the City’s growth
management study, which council endorsed
Phase 2 of in June, and concerned residents
are pleading for the preserve to be removed
from the development plan.
Provincially-owned Seaton is the subject of
a development plan undertaken by consul-
tants hired by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing for which public meetings were
held in June and October.
Seaton is also the star in the Province’s land
swap plans. In September, the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs announced a land exchange
deal had been signed that would see 1,057
acres of developer owned land on the Oak
Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill come into
public ownership in exchange for 1,275 acres
of publicly owned land in Seaton. The details
of which parcels of land are to be handed over
has yet to be announced.
The Province has also included the agri-
cultural preserve in its draft plan for a Golden
Horseshoe Greenbelt. The legislation for the
plan was to be passed in mid-December but
due to an outcry from the public, politicians
and other concerned parties, the government
decided to extend the period for review and
will now vote on the bill in March.
✦
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospi-
tal — This was a year to look back and look
forward for those associated with the hospital.
The hospital celebrated its 50th anniversary
with a birthday party in June, which also gave
staff a chance to show the public its redevelop-
ment plans.
In its 50-year history the hospital has gone
through many changes, morphing from a one-
floor tiny hospital with just 38 beds in 1954 to
the multiple floors and wings that sit on the
Harwood Road site today.
But it isn’t done its transformation. The
redevelopment office opened in June to let
residents have a look at the plans for a $47-
million redevelopment project that is to break
ground in the spring of 2006. It is to include a
new emergency department, a new diagnostic
imaging and cardiac diagnostic area, a new
complex continuing care unit, and expanded
mental health services.
With support from the business community
and residents through the Vital Links fundrais-
ing campaign, the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick-
ering Foundation is well on its way to reaching
its goal of $13.7 million.
✦
Crime — One of two men accused of mur-
dering Roy Jones will be spending the next 25
years in prison. Sean Hall was found guilty of
first-degree murder in the killing of Mr. Jones,
an Ajax resident, following a lengthy trial. Mr.
Jones, a security guard at the former Metro
East Trade Centre in Pickering, was shot to
death outside his family’s home just days be-
fore he was to testify in a home invasion trial.
Mr. Hall’s co-accused is to stand trial some-
time in 2005 for his role in the killing.

The Pickering newsmakers of 2004
Pickering had plenty to debate in 2004
Her impressive winning streak on the track and her graciousness off it make Perdita Felicien the Pickering News Advertiser’s newsmaker of the year
for 2004. Ms. Felicien captured the nation’s heart after falling in the final of the 100-metre hurdles at the Athens Olympic Games. Below, the news of a
proposed new airport on the federal lands in north Pickering was met by protesters, arguing a need hasn’t been demonstrated for a new airport.

Hub Mall Kingston Rd.Glenanna Rd.It's Friday night and the music with the
pulsing Latin beat isn't coming from the
local nightclub. It's coming from the local
health club. That's right, the latest craze to
sweep the health club circuit is exercising to
an ethnic beat.
With the country's population continuing to
diversify, fitness instructors are bringing
their cultures to the job:
• In Florida, classic belly dancing (belly
rolls, body waves and snake arms) makes
for excellent low-impact aerobics, while
Turkish belly dancing, with its jumping and
fast moves, makes for excellent high-impact
aerobics.
• In Chicago, live drummers provide a
Latin beat in one class, while in another you
do aerobics to a hip-hop beat.
• In New York, you do a dance called
Masala Bhangra. It is a hip-swiveling, foot-
stomping, hand clapping workout done to
the beat of flutes, drums and synthesized
music.
There is also contra dancing, a Brazilian,
Afro-Caribbean yoga dance, which mixes
traditional yoga postures from India with
dance moves to the rhythm of world music.
Experts point out that every 15 years or so
the fitness industry needs to reinvent itself.
Nobody wants to be working out like their
mothers did. And dancing has great health
benefits-you burn calories, keep joints lim-
ber and tone muscles (including your
heart). Dancing is something that people of
all ages and fitness levels can do.
Variety might have something to do with
the current exercise trend. You don't have a
bunch of high impact dances in a row and
the type of music changes. In addition, the
songs don't last more than 15 minutes, so
there is a natural break in the movement.
This also keeps people from getting bored.
These new exercises are about as far
removed from the exercises of the '70s as
you can get. Dancing gets your heart rate up
and allows you to use your mind as well as
your body for a better workout. So next time
you want to move to that Latin beat, don't go
to a nightclub, go to an exercise studio.

approached mid-afternoon on Aug. 24,
she helped to virtually shut down the
city as residents and businesses across
Pickering stopped what they were doing
to settle in for the 10 seconds or so that
it would take for the race to unfold.
And then the unthinkable happened.
Ms. Felicien clipped the first hurdle,
crashing into another competitor,
knocking both out of the race.
And then the unthinkable happened,
again. Rather than run off and hide,
she stepped up and spoke to the world
about the crash. She answered ques-
tion after question, holding her head
high. The outpouring of support that
followed came from across the country,
and the world to be sure. Her tragic
story generated more attention than the
Canadian athletes earning gold, silver
and bronze around her.
Canadians were touched by her grace
in the most challenging of situations
and her never-say-die attitude as she
vowed to come back stronger and better
for the 2008 Olympic Games, in Beijing.
But to stop there would sell the story
short. Early in 2004 Ms. Felicien was
named Ontario’s top female athlete, fol-
lowed by a Harry Jerome Award for
being a youth trailblazer in the black
community. Late in the year, Felicien
was named co-winner of the Jack W.
Davies Trophy for Canada’s top ama-
teur track and field athlete.
Ms. Felicien delivered an amazing
year, both on and off the track.

AJAX — Ontario’s lieutenant
governor presented the Com-
monwealth Honour Award to a
pair of Ajax residents recently.
Olof Saliba and Julie Twaddle,
received from James Bartleman
the Bar to Service Medal, the
Royal Life Saving Society’s Com-
monwealth Honour Award.
They were part of a group of
15 volunteers to be recognized
for exceptional involvement or
ongoing participation in com-
munity drowning prevention
and life-saving education.
Mr. Saliba received his award
for his continuing work with
both the large and small issues
concerning drowning preven-
tion in the community. He has
been an examiner and instruc-
tor trainer in the society’s life-
saving, lifeguarding and first aid
programs, is a member of the
first aid services and website de-
velopment committees, and is
chairman of the lifeguard com-
petitions and competition scor-
ing committees.
Ms. Twaddle received her
award for excellent support of
the drowning prevention mis-
sion and for finding ways to in-
corporate fun with the formality
of life-saving.
She is currently an examiner
across all training programs
within the society, and is a certi-
fied competitive lifesaving Level
1 official and Level 2 judge.

It’s difficult to establish benchmarks and
to comparison shop for a home renovator because
people don’t shop for one as often as they shop for
items such as shoes.
Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart says that a
home renovation project should be a well thought
out decisions. It could cost thousand of dollars and
will affect your family for many years so enlisting
the help of an expert is key.
The first step is information gathering. Visit
showrooms, websites and publications to learn
what products are available on the market. Get an
overview and then narrow it down to what you re-
ally want.
“The next step is having a face-to-face
meeting with a specialist, not a generalist,” says
Sam. “It’s important to work with a person you feel
comfortable with. A rapport has to be established
as well as a bond of trust”
Hire a Specialist
General contractors usually have the skill
to oversee an entire project and often contract out
specific parts of it.
Specialists focus on one trade. They do it
day-in, day-out. They usually work faster because
there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to
the work at hand.
Sam says that consumers should look for
specialists such as those at Plumbing Mart, who
can give them exact start dates, progress time and
a substantive completion date.
“Buyers should be careful about vague
timelines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor
can start work in July, does that mean at the begin-
ning of July or a the end of the month? Your life
could be turned upside down for a whole month.”
Consumers should also ask how long a
contractor has been in business. A contractor that
just started his business may have great intentions,
but may not be able to respond appropriately if an
unforeseen problem is encountered.
“Plumbing Mart has been in business for
more than 40 years. If there is a problem we can
make five phone calls and come up with five dif-
ferent solutions.”
An established specialist will also have ex-
perienced several home renovating trends through-
out the years and come with its own innovations.
Warranty
Wa r ranty is a key point. Always ask if it
covers the product, service, labour, or all three. If
a bathtub comes with a manufacturer’s warranty
only, will your contractor remove it at no cost so
that you can claim your warranty from the manu-
facturer? Is the cost of labour going to be charged
to you? Only a specialist that stands behind all
facets of its work can give consumers the peace of
mind that they deserve.
It’s Your Dream
When telling your chosen renovator about
your dream room, will that person follow your
agenda or his? A good renovator should be able
to think outside the box and have the resources to
deliver what you want. Once you have agreed on
an idea, that renovator should shop for all parts
needed to complete the job.
Ensure that your renovator also commits
to disposing of garage and to leaving your home
clean so that your family can start to enjoy the
newly renovated kitchen or bathroom right away.

Ajax, Pickering
girls enjoy big
December haul
DURHAM — The Yuletide
season wasn’t the only rea-
son members of the Dur-
ham Attack Girls’ Volleyball
Club had to celebrate in De-
cember.
Several of the club’s teams
returned from tournaments
bearing gold, silver or bronze
medals.
One of the club’s four 14-
and-under teams, the Red
Hawks, won the McGregor
Cup tournament in Madoc,
losing only one game in
the event while dominating
their opponents. Facing the
National Capitals from Ot-
tawa in the finals, the Attack
won 25-18, 20-25, 15-12.
The 14-and-under Silver
squad came in fifth at the
same event. Meanwhile,
the black and white squads
played in Toronto and came
in first and 11th respective-
ly.
The 18-and-under team
travelled to Trenton for the
20-and-under McGregor
Cup and came home with
the silver medal.
The 18-and-under black
and red teams competed
in Kingston, with the black
team placing first in their
pool. In the finals against
the National Capitals, Dur-
ham swept to gold in straight
games, 25-18, 25-20.
The 17-and-under team
captured gold in the Provin-
cial Cup tournament and a
silver in the McGregor Cup.
Their finish allows them to
compete in the Ontario Tier
1 Division, starting January.
The McGregor Cup tour-
nament for the 16-and-
under team was held in
Newmarket, and the Attack
placed first in their pool. In
the finals against a strong
Aurora Storm Rage team, the
Durham girls played hard,
but fell 20-25, 25-21, 15-13,
to earn silver.
At Bowmanville, the 15-
and-under black and red
teams placed third and sev-
enth respectively.
So far this season, Attack
teams have gathered six
golds, three silver and two
bronze.
The team is holding a
fundraising dinner and
dance Feb. 4. Anyone inter-
ested in buying tickets can
call Sandra Campbell at 905-
430-9627 or e-mail durham_
attack@hotmail.com.
Durham volleyball teams attack medal podium
DURHAM — A local hock-
ey team is moving up in the
rankings.
The Ajax-Pickering Raid-

tario Hockey League.
The rankings were re-
leased Dec. 20 and it’s the

Detroit Honeybaked re-
tained the number-one
