Councillor
calls for
‘bold’ change
to transit
Suggests tax credit
to encourage public
to use bus more often
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING — Doug Dickerson
wants public transit to be tax de-
ductible.
The Ward 2 City councillor asked
council to support the plan and
request the ministers of finance
for both the Province of Ontario
and the Government of Canada
to consider a change to provincial
and federal income tax rules. The
plan would allow 100 per cent of
the cost of using public transit to
be tax deductible.
“I very strongly believe we are
not going to succeed in doing what
we want with transit unless we
find another way to get people
out of their cars,” Coun. Dickerson
said.
He explained funding and sup-
port from senior levels of gov-
ernment for public transit has
decreased over the years. Coun.
Dickerson added something
needs to be done to encourage
more people to use it.
“Now it’s time for us to do some-
thing else and be a little bold about
it,” he said.
Councillors were supportive of
the motion, which passed.
“This is the sort of incentive one
needs to promote this kind of tran-
sit,” said Ward 3 City Councillor
Tr ustees asking for
Pickering’s input

DURHAM — Durham’s public
school board is asking for input on
its busing policy — nine months
after it approved major changes to
it without seeking any feedback.
Michael Barrett, chairman of
the Durham District School Board,
cited a policy the board approved
in 2001, and one he said he had a
hand in pushing for when he was
merely a local parent, that calls for
“a meaningful consultation pro-
cess” to solicit the views of school
councils in areas such as policy
changes.
“Trustees have been fairly criti-
cized for not following a good
communications process when
we originally made changes to the
transportation policy,” he said in
an interview after the Feb. 7 stand-
ing committee meeting. “This is a
guideline the board should follow
and it didn’t.”
The board approved the amend-
ments last April. Hundreds of par-
ents were caught off-guard and
angry to learn that surplus seating
had been eliminated. After months
of intense criticism and lobbying,
trustees in October agreed to re-
view the changes.
On Monday night trustees an-
nounced a few proposed changes
to the policy as a result of the re-
view.
They want to revert to the former
method for measuring distance
for bus eligibility, which is from
where the nearest home’s drive-
way meets the street to where the
closest driveway or walkway at the
school meets the street. Students
whose parents live at two differ-
ent houses may be bused to both,
it is also proposed. However the
key changes made to the policy in
April remain in place at this point,
and a transportation appeal com-
mittee was rejected.
Trustee Barrett clarified that not
just those pieces, but “the whole
policy has been put out for consul-

Notre Dame student charged
Grade 10 pupil arrested
after investigation into
noxious substance
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
AJAX — Police removed a student
from a school assembly Wednesday,
arresting him in relation to the evacua-
tion of 3,500 people at both Notre Dame
Catholic Secondary School and J. Clarke
Richardson Collegiate the day before.
The 16-year-old Ajax resident and
Notre Dame student faces charges of
mischief and administering a noxious
substance.
Durham Regional Police Constable
Joe Mitschang says the investigation at
the school lasted just three hours, thanks
to the co-operation police received from
Notre Dame students, whom he said
were “very much alarmed at what had
happened.
“It’s great to see that the kids will
stand up and talk about it. We would
have gotten nowhere if it wasn’t for
them coming forward and letting us
know what they knew.”
The suspect was co-operative and
gave police a statement, says Const.
Mitschang, the liaison officer for Ajax
high schools.
Several Notre Dame students ex-
perienced burning throats and felt ill
early Tuesday morning, resulting in the
evacuation of students at both it and
the adjacent J. Clarke, after a noxious
substance was released. Police, fire and
emergency medical services personnel
responded to the scene and four stu-
dents were taken to hospital while oth-
ers were checked by paramedics.
On Monday, a Notre Dame custodian
experienced the same symptoms after
students had been dismissed at the end
of the day.
Const. Mitschang identified the sub-
stance as dog repellent, similar to pep-
per spray.
The investigation is ongoing, he says,
as police want to ensure no one else was
involved.
Const. Mitschang says jail time is un-
likely for a conviction in a case such as
this. However, a substantial probation
period and the payment of restitution is
possible, he says, noting students were
taken to hospital and air testing was
conducted at the facility.
The suspect was released on an of-
ficer-in-charge undertaking Const.
Mitschang says is similar to a bail re-
lease, but in a police station by a senior
officer, not a justice of the peace.
McTeague says
upcoming vote
on same-sex
marriage not
a done deal
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
PICKERING — Dan Mc-
Te ague says he and Paul
Martin “agree respectfully
to disagree” on same-sex
marriage and that even if
ordered to by the prime
minister, he would not vote
in favour of proposed gov-
ernment legislation mak-
ing it law.
The Pickering-Scar-
borough East MP said he
would support the concept
of a civil union between
members of the same sex,
but not marriage.
“Rights in my view should
not come at the diminution
of another right,” he says.
However, Mr. McTeague
argues that those who claim
this is a rights issue are
mistaken: the institution of
marriage is not offensive,
he says, so it’s not
a case of rights
being denied to
anyone.
“I think there’s
a very serious
flaw in our think-
ing, that rights’
can simply be
provided when
requested,” Mr.
McTe ague says.
Those who
support keeping the defini-
tion as the union between
a man and a woman, to
the exclusion of all others,
stand to lose if the legisla-
tion passes, he says. They
would become “a second
class of people” in Canada,
frowned upon as “out of
step.” The government risks
disenfranchising the ma-
jority of Canadians on the
basis that “we know what’s
best.
“We have not had a thor-
ough debate or
discussion on
the implications
of what we are
about to do,” he
says.
He says the
upcoming vote
in the House of
Commons is by
no means a given
to pass, citing
45 Liberal col-
leagues who like him are
against the legislation.
He adds after receiving at
least 3,000 e-mails and let-
ters from his constituents,
the count is 8:1 against
legalizing same-sex mar-
riage.

By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
Driving north on Brock Road,
Pickering seems to melt away
once past Third Concession
Road. The subdivisions and strip
malls fade into the distance, making
way for open fields, mature trees and
solitary homes on large lots.
Historic homes and barns dot the
area known as Seaton. On this cold
winter day the fields of corn, which
were harvested months ago, are now
covered in a dusting of snow. Creeks
that normally flow through the land
next to woodlots and open fields are
beginning to freeze.
It is as though time has stood still
— and it has. The land was expropri-
ated by the provincial government 30
years ago to build a utopian commu-
nity of 200,000 and since then it hasn’t
changed much.
A few people fed up with renting
from the Province moved away and
boarded up homes have been de-
stroyed by fire, but the land has es-
sentially remained untouched for 30
years.
To the City and the Province, the
acres and acres of land has become
more than just prime farmland,
woodlots, creeks and home to many
families. To Pickering it is the po-
tential for new jobs and 39,000 new
residents. To the
Province it is the
land that has allowed
them to save some of the
privately-owned property on
the Oak Ridges Moraine in Rich-
mond Hill from being developed.
But for George Malcolm and his
family, it is and always has been
home.
High above the hustle and bustle of
the City’s traffic and noise, Mr. Mal-
colm and his family have farmed the
land on the south side of Hwy. 7, west
of Brougham for generations.
His grandfather bought the land in
1901 and Mr. Malcolm’s grandson is
the sixth generation to live in the old
brick farmhouse.
He doesn’t want to leave to make
room for development.
“I was born in this house and I’d
kind of like to die here,” he said.
“When it is home, it is hard to leave.”
The Province and the City have
each held meetings about how this
land should be developed and those
discussions have upset Mr. Malcolm.
“They talk about it as if there is
a blank piece of paper here and it
upsets you,” he said. “It’s like there is
nobody here.”
The current residents in Seaton

History is found all across the Malcolm farm, which
has been home to six generations of the family.
range from longtime tenants,
to a few owners, to people
who have only lived there a
few years. The Malcolm fam-
ily is one of the few original
owners to remain, and as
such, Mr. Malcolm believes
they should receive special
treatment. He wants the
same treatment delivered to
former owners on the west
side of Duffins Creek.
In 1999, the land on the
west side of Duffins Creek
was sold back to farmers (it
had been expropriated with
Seaton) and other buyers
and is now known as the
Duffins Rouge Agricultural
Preserve. Thinking he should
have been given the same
opportunity to buy back his
family’s land, Mr. Malcolm
began communicating with
the government more than
three years ago.
The last time he com-
municated with the Minis-
try of Municipal Affairs and
Minister John Gerretsen, he
was told he couldn’t get an
answer until after the land
swap deal was finalized. (The
Province announced in Sep-
tember how much land in
Seaton would be swapped
for developer-owned prop-
erty on the moraine, but the
details of which specific par-
cels haven’t been identified
yet).
His location on Hwy. 7 is
ideal for retail related farm-
ing, said Mr. Malcolm, but
he doesn’t want to make any
major investments while the
property is in limbo and he’s
just renting.
Mr. Malcolm’s son Neil is
just as determined to stay. He
does much of the work with
the corn and miniature don-
keys and has also done repair
work on the barns that he
said the Province wouldn’t
do.
“I wouldn’t have done all
that work for the past num-
ber of years to watch a Mc-
Donald’s go up or a Home
Depot,” he said.
When asked what this
home and land mean to him,
his answer is simple, “every-
thing.
“It’s my heritage. My fam-
ily grew up here, I grew up
here and it is home.”
Bryan Kozman, director of
the North Pickering Land Ex-
change, doesn’t know exactly
what is going to happen to
the tenants but said the land,
which isn’t going to begin to
be developed until 2007 or
2008, would be developed
over a 15- or 20-year hori-
zon.
“In the short-term some
tenants might be displaced,
but in the long-term some
tenants might be able to stay
in place with another land-
lord,” he said.
Mr. Kozman also won-
dered about what would
happen to the people now
living in land designated as
the natural heritage system.
“One would imagine if the
land stays in public owner-
ship and there are tenants on
that land there is no reason
they’d have to leave,” he said.
✦✦✦
Although Ed Shiers doesn’t
have as long a history with
the land as the Malcolms, he
doesn’t want to go anywhere
either.
He and wife Judith raised
three children here and have
many memories from farm-
ing on Sideline 26, north of
Ta unton Road, for the last 28
years.
The Shiers farm hay, corn
and soybeans now, but they
used to have sheep.
“When the lambs were
born the kids would sit on
the bales of hay and watch,”
he said.
He loves his location on
the edge of Duffins Creek
where there is all kinds of
wildlife, including deer, wild
turkeys, coyotes, foxes and
rabbits. He admits his future
is unclear.
“It’s a weird feeling, we’re
still wondering what we’re
going to do,” he said. “We
don’t know what we’re going
to do.”
In addition to being faced
with the possibility of leav-
ing their home, the Shiers
are also in limbo with their
crops.
While they were told in the
fall by the Province that they
would have to plow up their
field so archeologists could
explore the land, they had
already seeded for hay.
“It takes two years to es-
tablish a hay field,” Mr. Shiers
said. “We have customers
who depend on us.”
By plowing the field it
means there won’t be a hay
crop this year and after that
the development could be
starting.
Even if the land becomes
part of the provincially desig-
nated natural heritage system
and is not developed, the im-
pending development would
make farming difficult.
Mr. Shiers said when peo-
ple move close to an agricul-
tural area it means problems
with dirt bikes, four wheelers
and garbage.
He doesn’t want to see that
happen to this prime farm-
land.
“We would like to stay
here,” he said. “What’s the
difference between this land
and the moraine? This is
good farmland.”
Even though Seaton has
been slated for development
for years, Mr. Shiers wonders
why everything seems to be
happening so quickly now.
“It almost makes you feel
that there is an agenda, that
it has to be done by a certain
time or it will fall through,” he
said. “They’ve had 28 or 29
years to do this and now all of
a sudden it has to be done.
“They’ve always talked
that something is going to
happen but then it doesn’t,
but I think this time they’re
going to do it.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Funding is only
a start towards
education reform
Now that Bob Rae has tabled his 124-page prescrip-
tion for Ontario’s ailing post-secondary system, the
real work can begin.
With the Liberal government’s two-year freeze on tuition
fees to be lifted after 2006, the timing of the report is im-
peccable. Citing a decade of neglect by provincial govern-
ments, the former NDP premier pulled no punches by call-
ing for a cash infusion of $1.3 billion in provincial funding
into the education system.
The report has the potential to reshape post-secondary
education, not only in Ontario but in Canada, says Sheldon
Levy, vice-president of finance and strategy for the Univer-
sity of Ontario Institute of Technology.
The Rae report, if implemented, can get this province’s
education system on the right track. Mr. Levy says two im-
portant points in the plan are that more bursaries, rather
than loans, will be available for needy students, while loans
and bursaries will be available for a greater number of
people.
The $500 million announced for infrastructure needs
and capital costs won’t solve all the problems in the post-
secondary system, but it’s enough to start the funding curve
moving in the right direction. And the bridging of programs
between universities and community colleges will help
many students complete their degrees, and falls in line with
the current mandate of UOIT. Of course, none of it will hap-
pen unless the Province comes up with the cash.
One would have to expect the Liberals, who commis-
sioned Mr. Rae to undertake the post-secondary review in
the first place, to pay close attention to his recommenda-
tions. In fact, it was heartening to hear Premier Dalton
McGuinty on Tuesday promise the upcoming provincial
budget will begin to address the Rae report.
When the current tuition freeze is lifted, Mr. Levy says the
wealthy will pay more for their education but will receive
more; needier students can get up to 50 per cent of their
expenses covered through bursaries and those students in
the middle will see tuition fees rise, but not skyrocket.
The responsibility of ensuring quality education in On-
tario extends beyond Queen’s Park, however.
The federal government, the private sector, post-second-
ary institutions and the students themselves must be will-
ing to do their part.
But it’s Premier McGuinty’s Liberals who must lead the
way.
Call to MP discouraging for constituent
To the editor:
Re: ‘Same-sex bill protects rights of the minority’, editorial,
Feb. 6.
I was wryly amused at your recent weekend editorial that
urged readers to contact their MP to express their views on
this contentious subject of same-sex marriages.
I had previously exchanged messages with Mark Holland
and he stated that he fully intended to follow the party line
when the time came to vote upon this proposed legislation.
It was clear that any differing views expressed by his constitu-
ents were of no consequence, or interest, to him even though
he owes his seat in Parliament to them.

Seeing the Ontario
championships live very
different than on TV
L et me tell you, the 2005 Ontario
men’s curling championship is a
cold experience.
Happening all this past week at Iro-
quois Park Sports Centre in Whitby,
ending today, the event organizers
clearly know how important good ice
conditions are for the competitors. Sit-
ting in the stands, you need a tuque and
mitts in order to watch comfortably.
Lucky for the fan in the stands, the ac-
tion on the ice kept your mind off the
frostbite.
As a first-timer at any kind of major
curling event, I was amazed how tricky
it was to keep up with five sheets of ice,
all side by side. Especially with the top
men’s curling teams in Ontario using
strategy and skill to efficiently play their
matches, trying to earn wins, move up
the standings and have a shot at being
Ontario’s best.
What I found funny about the ex-
perience was the thought of real curl-
ers around me who must have been
chuckling if they overheard friends and
myself analyzing the games in progress
at Thursday night’s draw.
I have to admit, even as a sports nut,
that curling ranks at the lower end of my
knowledge and experience. So I must
have sounded like those spectators I
quietly chuckled at when I heard some-
one at a Raptors game back in their first
few seasons.
Hearing them trying to figure out
some of the things they were watching
live, probably many for the first time, I
sometimes took it upon myself to turn
around and explain the finer points as I
knew them.
As for the Kia Cup, the skill and con-
trol these guys have to move the rock
down the ice and put it precisely where
they want to is remarkable. Watching it
on TV makes it look a lot easier than it
really is, as anyone will tell you who has
stepped onto the ice at any local curling
rink.
Dominating our interest were two of
the premier teams there, Glenn Howard
and Wayne Middaugh, playing separate
matches Thursday. On Howard’s team,
the only local talent in the tournament
from Durham Region was Pickering’s
Paul Hart, who helped his rink win their
match handily. He assured some action
in the playoff round this weekend and
had a shot at meeting Middaugh in the
final today.
If you’ve watched curling on TV, let
me tell you, you haven’t seen it all until
you’ve seen it live.

tation” with input being accepted until
March 25.
Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler,
chairwoman of the ad hoc review com-
mittee, in an interview said she “very
much” regrets that the board didn’t
originally seek public input. But fol-
lowing the review, she says “the pack-
age as presented was what trustees as a
whole supported.”
She says parents who have already
addressed the board on areas such as
surplus seating or French immersion
busing might not get a second chance.
“We’re not going to sit through re-
peated presentations again,” she said.
“There’s too much on our plate; there’s
too much coming forward. We’ve spent
too much time on this.”
At least one presentation was al-
ready nixed: Uxbridge parent Lynda
Hartmann, a vocal opponent of the
policy, was denied a spot on Monday’s
agenda. She found it ironic that the
board was soliciting input but would
not let her speak.
Trustee Barrett, at the start of the
meeting, said it made sense to delay
any presentations on the policy until
after the committee’s report had been
presented.
Pickering parent Heidi Proctor in
an interview said she wasn’t surprised
that the committee basically opted to
stick with the policy. She has a num-
ber of questions for the board, one
of which, how much money is being
saved after the changes, has gone un-
answered for several months. Accord-
ing to Monday’s report, cutting surplus
seating is to save $110,000 this school
year, including a $30,000 staff position.
“I guess my question is, ‘what are
they hoping to gain by now soliciting
input’?” she asked.
Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Lisa Hill
was one of two trustees to reject the
notion of public consultation — at this
point at least.

The City of Pickering actively supports
Black History Month and other
worthy initiatives that celebrate the rich
diversity in our community.
We invite all to our
2005 Heritage Day Celebration
on February 19th at
Pickering Town Centre to celebrate
our black community as well as the
many other vibrant cultures and
heritages that make the City of
Pickering one of the most dynamic and
diverse municipalities in the entire GTA. February is Black
History Month. It
was established
around 1926. As well, the
“Negro History Week” was
launched in 1926 as a way
of neutralizing the apparent
ignorance and deliberate
distortion of Black History.
Many events were organized
such as lectures, symposiums,
and exhibitions in order to have
a better understanding of the
African experience throughout
the year and give a more
objective balance in World
history. With such a daunting
approach, it took many years to
see any semblance of positive
change.
On a sweltering afternoon
in August 1963, Dr. Martin
Luther King the Civil rights
leader gave his famous speech,
“I have dream.” “I have a
dream that one day blacks and
whites, Jews and gentiles will
come together in the spirit of
brotherhood.” His legacy was
freedom and justice for all.
Over the years African
Americans and Canadians and
other people of African descent
have overcome obstacles,
barriers and prejudices. Today
we feel justly proud of our
many accomplishments. This
is evident in every aspect of
society. Politics, business,
sports and movies are just some
of the many areas that we have
excelled.
Today, this national and
international observance has
been expanded to encompass
the entire month of February.
As we celebrate Black
History Month let us reflect
on the past and focus on where
we are heading in this era of
the 21st century. Happy Black
History Month.

David Pickles, who joked he
would want it to be retroac-
tive to cover all those years
he has commuted to work
in downtown Toronto.
Mayor Dave Ryan also
backed it, although offering
a caution.
“I’m going to support it
because it sends a message,”
he said. “But the chance of it
happening is zero to none.”
He said logistically trying
to implement the request
would be a nightmare.
“I do agree with coun-
cil that it sends one more
message that there needs to
be something done by the
senior levels of government
(for transit),” Mayor Ryan
said.

No answer yet on funding
Pickles optimistic
no news is good
news from GTAA
PICKERING — Council-
lor David Pickles thinks no
news is good news.
The Ward 3 City council-
lor brought forward a mo-
tion in December asking
Transport Canada or the
Greater Toronto Airports
Authority for funding to
hire a consultant to do a
peer review of the GTAA’s
draft plan for the proposed
airport in Pickering.
The City hasn’t heard
from either agency yet.
“The bad news is we
don’t have a cheque yet,
but the good news is we
haven’t heard back from
the federal government or
the GTAA yet (saying no),”
he said.
In December staff was
directed to prepare an ap-
propriate terms of refer-
ence procedure and budget
for a peer review. At the
Feb. 7 council meeting staff
reported back it couldn’t
provide an accurate cost es-
timate without the GTAA’s
updated financial assess-
ment analysis, which the
GTAA has yet to complete.
Council passed a resolu-
tion directing staff to con-
tinue to pursue peer review
funding.
“I’m more optimistic this
time around that these ef-
forts might be fruitful,”
Coun. Pickles said.

Which toothbrush is better, power or manual?
Wo uld you believe
that the toothbrush
was invented in China
in 1000 AD? In fact,
the very fi rst tooth-
brush had an ivory
handle and bristles
made from horseís
manes. These days,
there is an over-
whelming choice of
toothbrush colours
and designs.
Is the toothbrush with the fl exible handle
better than the one with the fi rm handle? Do the
brushes with bigger bristles at the top work bet-
ter than the ones with bristles that are taller on
the edges? Are power toothbrushes a better bet
than their manual counterparts?
What are the answers to these ques-
tions? We have found that the best
toothbrushes are the ones that you
like to brush with. If your toothbrush
is uncomfortable in your mouth, you
are not likely to brush as long as you
should (about two to three minutes)
or as often as you should. You should be brush-
ing your teeth at least twice a day, preferably after
every meal. And donít forget to fl oss every day!
Because it has power, doesnít necessarily
mean itís better!
Some people may fi nd that power tooth-
brushes are more effective for them; these types
of people may be:
* Elderly
* People with arthritis or manual dexterity
problems
* People with braces on their teeth
* People who donít use their manual tooth-
brush effectively
* People who rush their tooth brushing
routine
The whizzing, whirring and tingling sensa-
tion created by power toothbrushes will also
appeal to gadget lovers.
However, if you can use a manual toothbrush correctly, youíll save money and
effort from recharging batteries and replacing or cleaning the heads on the power
toothbrush.
The basic toothbrush!
Your toothbrush doesnít have to be brightly coloured, have fancy bristles or
have fl exible handles. All you really need is a toothbrush with a small head, so
you have room to maneuver it around your teeth. You should also have a handle
that is comfortable to hold on to and soft, rounded bristles. As soon as the bristles
become frayed or start falling out of the brush, replace the toothbrush to prevent
damage to your gums.

Tr avel Fit Tips fromCanadian Physiotherapy Association
Whatever the mode of travel, there are a number of
problems that may arise from sitting in a confi ned space.
Sitting immobile for prolonged periods of time can put
considerable stress on muscles and joints. This can lead to
feeling stiff, cramped and sore with a sense of fatigue after
the journey.
On long fl ights, circulation may be compromised in
some people and clots (or deep vein thrombus) may form,
leading to a serious and sometimes fatal outcome if the clot
blocks a major blood vessel.
Good posture plays a key role in the prevention of back
pain and excessive strain on the joints, ligaments and veins.
However, any posture, no matter how good it is, can become
uncomfortable over an extended period of time. Therefore,
it is important to make frequent posture changes to help
minimize discomfort.
The Canadian Physiotherapy Association recommends
the following posture tips:
· When travelling by car, wear a seatbelt and keep
headrest lowered to a position that is in the center of the
back of your head. In a plane or train, adjust the seat to
an upright position so that your seat is at the back of the
chair. If the hollow in your back is not supported, try a
lumbar roll or rolled up T-shirt;
• Keep shoulders in line with trunk and upper back to
allow for even loading through the spine;
• Hips and knees should be as close to a 90 degree
angle s possible to maintain good spinal align-
ment. Depending on transportation policy, a backpack
or other piece of carry-on luggage can act as a footrest to
bring legs and knees to a comfortable height;
· Position the arm rest so your elbows are bent to 90
degrees. If your arm rest is too low, use a small pillow
under your forearm.
· Shift your weight frequently to reduce prolonged
pressure points when sitting, including moving hips and
knees. If you’re driving, change the angle of the steering
wheel at rest stops as a way to change your sitting posi-
tion.
Canadian physiotherapists recommend doing one exer-
cise from each of the following groups before, during and
after the journey, to maintain good general circulation, and
decrease stiffness by moving the joints. Slowly stretch until a
gentle tension is felt in the muscle (this should not be pain-
ful).Take relaxed breaths and do each exercise slowly. Repeat
each stretch twice on both sides.
Head and neck
• Chin Tuck– tuck in chin, keeping head level, move
backwards creating a double chin;
• Head Turn– turn head over right shoulder and back
to centre;
• Head Tilt – bring ear towards shoulder without turn-

1DON’T start your wedding
planning without a budget.
One of the most stressful
elements to wedding planning
usually is MONEY. Make sure
you decide up front how much
your total wedding budget is
going to be and who will be
contributing and how much.
2 DON’T spend more than
your budget or what you can
aff ord. Your wedding day is
an important day – but it is only
ONE day. You don’t want to start
your new life together by going
into “serious” debt from your
wedding expenses and being
strapped with that debt for the
next fi ve years.
3DON’T rely upon oral
agreements with vendors.
Get EVERYTHING in
writing!
4DON’T try and do
everything yourself. Planning
a wedding can be a full time
job in itself. So, don’t try and take
on such an enormous project
alone - DELEGATE as much
as you can! When it comes to
weddings – everyone loves to
help (so let them!).
5DON’T insist on having
it your way all the time!
COMPROMISE on the
things that are less important.
6DON’T skimp on your
photography. Your wedding
day goes by so fast – and
after it’s over, all you’ll have
left is your memories and your
PICTURES.
7DON’T get crazy over every
detail. It can really take the
pleasure out of the wedding
planning process. I mean, will it
really matter that the ribbons for
the favors are baby blue instead
of ice blue?
8DON’T forget to thank
everyone involved in your
wedding and those that gave
you gifts. AND, don’t let those
thank you notes pile up. Send
them out promptly after you
receive a gift.
9DON’T overload yourself
the day before your wedding.
Th is is not the time to put
together 200 favors. Try to do
only one or two small tasks and
leave the rest of the day to relax
and pamper yourself.
10DON’Texpect
perfection for your
wedding day. Expect a
“terrifi c” day and set reasonable
expectations. Never forget the
main goal is to get married.

Stay calm the night
before your wedding
All the planning and preparations
have been done and it is the day before
your wedding. Th e only thing you
should be concerned with at this point
in time is to sit down, relax and think
about how wonderful everything will
be. Th ere’s no point in worrying about
every little detail, so take this time for
yourself and enjoy it. Here are some
suggestions on how you can relax the
day before your wedding:
• Pamper yourself with a trip to
the spa and indulge in a massage,
manicure or pedicure
• Light some candles, burn some
incense and put on some relaxing
music and draw yourself a warm
bubble bath
• Drink a nice, hot cup of herbal tea
or warm milk
• Think about the wonderful life
you and your future husband have
ahead of you
• Spend some quite time alone,
meditating and visualizing how
smooth and perfect your wedding
day will be

Great value,
great quality, great dress
Planning a wedding can be enjoyable
and fun, but also quite hectic. Th ere
are many things to think about and
to help couples get started on one element
of the planning. Th ere are some tips on
how to choose the perfect items for their
gift registry.
• Be practical. When choosing
items for your gift registry, think
of what would make your busy life
easier. Small appliances and other
gadgets for the kitchen are a great
place to start. Preparing meals can
be time consuming. Many gift
registry services have a great
selection of products for every area
of your home to help make the
transition to married life easier.
• Be creative. Select items that suit
your lifestyle. If you and your
partner enjoy the outdoors, select
items for the outdoor activities
you participate in together.
Items such as bikes, camping gear
or patio furniture are great
alternatives to traditional wedding
gifts and refl ect your personal tastes
and lifestyle.
• Spoil yourself. Choosing items that
you need is important, but don’t
forget to spoil yourself. Stores are
continuously adding new and
exciting products to their
assortments, making it fun and easy
to add some really innovative gifts
to the list.
• Focus on variety. Don’t hesitate to
select items from various price
points. Guests will appreciate the
options, and it works particularly
well if groups come together to buy
a gift. When purchased by a
group, items such as a barbeque and
patio furniture are aff ordable and
unique wedding gifts.

For some, fi nding the perfect wedding
gift for a bride and groom can be
time consuming and stressful, but
it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips
for friends and family to help get the right
gift, quickly and easily.
Many couples create registries for
their wedding, giving
them the opportunity
to choose the items
they’ll need to begin
their new life together.
Purchasing something
from the registry makes
gift giving easy for
guests, since they can be
assured that the bride
and groom will love and
use the gift they select.
If all the items on
the gift registry have
already been purchased
or the bride and groom
have not registered
anywhere, fi nding a
gift can be challenging.
To make things easier,
think of something that you have done
with the couple and buy a gift relating to
that activity. For example, if you have gone
camping together, purchase some camping
gear that you know they don’t have but
would enjoy.
Also consider what the couple like to do
together. For example, if they like spending
time in their backyard during the summer
months.
Gift cards are the perfect way to let the
bride and groom choose something they
really want. At most stores they can be
bought in several denominations and can
be redeemed at every location across the
country.
Many couples
register at two stores
for their wedding,
providing guests with
the fl exibility to choose
gifts that suit their
budget and location.
When deciding which
registry to purchase
from, consider things
like store location and
the ability to shop
online and by phone.
If you are unable to
attend the wedding,
or live far away from
the couple, shopping
online gives you the
option of shipping the
gift to your home or to
the home of the bride and groom.
If you like to give money as a gift,
package it in a creative and personal way.
Wr ap the money and card in a wicker basket
that matches their décor or inside a basic
toolkit, perfect for new homeowners. Th e
bride and groom will be sure to remember
and appreciate the personal touch.
News Canada
Shopping for
the bride and groom
The perfect complexion of a cover girl
or superstar may look like a windfall
of natural beauty, but be assured: the
best complexions are the results of simple
little, do-it-yourself tricks and are perfect
for a fl awless look on your wedding day.
Fully cleansed, hydrated and healthy-
looking skin is a good place to begin.
After that however, the most important
complexion technique on each and every
cover girl lies in the application of her
foundation. So here is the inside scoop:
If foundation is applied with a little
fl are and strategy, it will set a high beauty
standard for your entire face. For example,
a new strategy is a professional, two-step
process. Th e right product for you should
fulfi ll two specifi c requirements for a
fl awless look: it smoothes the skin and
evens the tone. Here is the technique,
alongside a few more make-up application
tips to give you the confi dence of a cover
girl too:
• Step One: Apply a silky smooth,
weightless base. It prepares the skin
by minimizing the appearance of
pores and shine. Th e base fi lls in
lines and provides shine control.
• Step Two: Apply colour liquid
makeup. Now with their advanced
blending properties; they help even
skin tone to produce beautiful
fl awless coverage. Applying colour
over a base coat helps ensure that
the make-up will not change colour,
even through heat and humidity.
• Th e right makeup colour for you is
one that is virtually invisible when
applied to the skin between cheek
and jaw. Check it outside with a
compact mirror, away from artifi cial
light.
• Shake the bottle well before
applying it. Pigment can settle at
the bottom and produce an uneven
fi nish.
• To apply, use the back of the hand
as an artist’s palette. Dot the face
and blend with outward strokes
from the nose away from the centre
of the face, into the hair line and
down the neck. A sponge applicator
allows easier blending around the
nose and chin.
• Applying foundation to eyelids and
lips can help to even out uneven
skin tone and may help eye shadow
and lipstick stay on longer.

Abeautiful wedding veil, an
exquisite wedding gown,
matching shoes and a
radiant bouquet are all elements of a
memorable marriage ceremony. But
what distinguishes those components
from all the other brides? You, of
course.
At Medoro’s Hair Design they’ll
create a hairstyle especially for you.
Th ey’ll take your face shape, length
of hair, veil, and dress into account
to accentuate the natural beauty that
every bride possesses.
Mario Medoro, owner of Medoro’s
Hair Design, has been in the
hairstyling business
for over 40 years,
which means that he’s
seen trends come and
go and that he’s up
to date with the look
that modern brides
want to achieve.
W hen planning
your hairstyle for the big day,
it’s a good idea to book your
appointment three to four
weeks in advance to ensure
availability.
Tw o to three weeks before
the wedding Mr. Medoro or one
of his stylists will meet with you
for a consultation to see which
style complements you the best,
and to assess what you think
about your overall look. Th is gives you
a great opportunity to take advantage
of all the possible looks you’d consider
before the big day.
During this consultation it’s a good
idea to bring a photo of your wedding
gown, as well as magazines of styles
that you prefer to help give the stylists
an idea of what you’re looking for.
Th ere are a number of diff erent
styles that brides can opt for. Mr.
Medoro says the most popular style
is an up-do, which creates an elegant
and alluring look for more formal
weddings. On the other hand, half-
dos create a more casual look and are
better suited for daytime weddings.
As for brides or bridesmaids with
shorter hair, Mr. Medoro and his
team have all the tools they need to
accessorize a shorter mane. Combs,
beads, barrettes, clips, and even
fl owers can signifi cantly alter any
image, creating a stunning look for
this special occasion.
Of course, beauty of this calibre
takes time. Th at’s why Medoro’s Hair
Design opens earlier to accommodate
the bridal party on the day of the
wedding to ensure that they arrive at
the venue on time.
Mr. Medoro and his team of
stylists will be the
sole styling group
for the 2005 Ajax-
Pickering Spring
Wedding Show,
and will showcase
the most popular
hairstyles that
modern brides prefer
for their big day. Th ere will be a
mixture of styles to show brides
all the possibilities.
For your convenience,
Medoro’s Hair Design has
two locations in the Durham
Region — 1900 Dixie Rd.,
Pickering, 905-420-8528 and

Youth can have a say
in future direction
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Paul Kells is hooked
on safety and wants to pass on
his addiction to as many youths as
possible.
In 1994 his son, Sean, just three
days into a part-time job, was killed
in a workplace accident. The 19-
year-old didn’t know he was han-
dling a potentially-dangerous sub-
stance used as a sealant to protect
vehicles. Transferring it from larger
to smaller containers on a cool
morning, there was no air circula-
tion in the workplace, and fumes
built up at floor level. One static
electric spark triggered an explo-
sion that caused third degree burns
to 95 per cent of his body.
The founder and vice-president
of the Safe Communities Founda-
tion, Mr. Kells is also executive di-
rector of Passport to Safety (PTS), a
not-for-profit national program that
assesses and tests young people on
health and safety on the job.
“What we know is that you guys,
in your first three months on the
job, are 60 per cent more likely to
be injured,” Mr. Kells told students
at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate
in Ajax recently.
Yo ung people starting jobs are
often too self-conscious to ask
questions, he says, and that could
be fatal if they’re asked to do a task
without knowing what risks are in-
volved. Many youths don’t realize
that under the law, they have the
right to refuse to do anything they
believe is unsafe, Mr. Kells said.
PTS is aimed at people 24 years
of age and under. They go on a
website and challenge the test, and
if successful receive a transcript
that can be attached to a resume,
outlining their basic health and
safety awareness. The program is
not intended to replace job-spe-
cific training, but to be a starting
point.
“You can’t fail this test,” Mr. Kells
said, noting students keep taking it
until they pass.
Offered in Durham District
School Board high schools, where
students don’t have to pay the $9
registration fee, the PTS steering
committee is currently working
on a plan to expand the program
— and that’s where Durham stu-
dents come in. Public secondary
school business students are being
challenged to develop and pres-
ent a strategic plan to grow the
program to more businesses and
young people. Individual projects
will be considered, but group en-
tries are encouraged. The winning
student or team will present their
plan to the Durham Region pass-
port to safety committee and prizes
will be awarded.
“The premise is that students are
probably the best ambassadors of
promoting this in the community,”
says John Murphy, executive vice-
president, human resources and
chief ethics officer at Ontario Power
Generation (OPG), in an interview.
“You have to engage kids, not
just lecture them,” adds Mr. Kells.
The challenge is a joint project
of Safe Communities of Picker-
ing/Ajax (SCOPA), OPG, the school
board, PTS and the Business Advi-
sory Centre Durham.
More than 1,000 Durham stu-
dents have been through the pro-
gram and more than 40 businesses
are involved. Gary Gibson, the pub-
lic board’s health and safety officer,
says the goal is to have 10,000 stu-
dents and 100 businesses on board
by the end of this school year.
For more information on the pro-
gram, visit www.passporttosafety.
com.
Information on the challenge is
available in schools.
Students needed to boost passport program
Paul Kells, right, is on a mission to help teenagers understand the risks of
the workplace and teach them to ensure their own safety. John Murphy of
Ontario Power Generation, a partner in the Business Safety Challenge, joined
Mr. Kells recently, to help launch the program in local public high schools.

PROVINCIAL TITLE HOPES
The men’s Ontario curling championship
wraps up at Whitby’s Iroquois Park.
The final goes Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
DURHAM — The 20th annual
Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame cer-
emony promises to be a diverse
gathering.
Five different sports will be
thrust into the spotlight on May
25 at the Civic Auditorium, four
of which have received little in
the way of recognition previously.
Ta ble tennis will receive attention,
thanks to longtime News Adver-
tiser employee Michelle Qurrey.
The one high profile sport will
offer up the marquee attraction
for the gala,
as hockey’s
Rick Mid-
dleton will
join a host
of other
former Os-
hawa Gen-
erals who
have pre-
ceded him
in.
But the
other inductees look forward
to sharing a love of their lesser
known sports.
Qurrey, a distribution carrier
representative with the News Ad-
vertiser for 12 years, will be the
hall’s first table tennis inductee;
George Jackson and Jack Hunter
the first lawn bowling team, and
the third and fourth lawn bowl-
ers period; Gloria Campbell the
fourth curler; and the 1991-92
O’Neill Collegiate senior boys’
basketball team just the second
high school team.
“It’s very exciting and nice to
know that table tennis is now
going to be recognized more so
than it used to ever be,” said Qur-
rey, who was introduced along
with the other inductees at an Os-
hawa council meeting Monday.
“It’s going to be very emotional, I
know that much. It’s going to be a
huge honour, a huge honour.”
Qurrey began playing shortly
after moving from her native
Wales to Oshawa in 1980. It didn’t
take her long to start dominating
the junior circuit, winning nation-
al titles four times, including once
at the Canadian Winter Games.
The Paul Dwyer grad was
named the outstanding Canadian
female junior for her sport in 1983
and was one of two Ontarians
selected to the five-member Ca-
nadian junior national team in
1984.

Ajax Silver Ring Ringette Tourna-
ment will be a truly international
affair.
For the first time in its long, rich
history, the tournament will host
two Finnish teams making the trip
to Ajax for the event, which goes
from Feb. 18 to 20.
To say tournament organizers
are over the moon with the over-
seas presence, a first for the event,
is an understatement.
“It’s mindboggling,” says tour-
nament co-chairman Debbie Big-
nell. “It’s more than we ever could
have expected. We’re proud and
we’re pleased. Certainly, the expe-
rience it gives to our Ajax players is
the most important thing.”
One of the Finnish squads, from
the town of Tuusla, will play in
the tween ‘A’ (12- and 13-year-
olds) division of the tournament.
The other team, from Espoo, will
compete in the junior ‘AA’ (14- and
15-year-olds) bracket.
To urnament organizers, says
Bignell, have gone all out to en-
sure the Finnish contingent is well
cared for and has a good time
during their stay. The players will
be billeted during their time with
families of the Ajax junior ‘AA’ and
the Pickering-Ajax tween teams.
Bignell notes that the Ajax and
Pickering players are already cor-
responding with members of the
Finnish squads via the Internet.
Among the activities planned
during the Finnish teams’ stay in-
clude day trips to Niagara Falls
and Toronto and a dinner evening.
Also, the Finnish players will also
accompany their billets to their
school for one day.
Wo rd obviously got around
about the Ajax tournament, says
Bignell, as the Ajax Shooting Stars
junior ‘AA’ travelled to Finland for
an exchange last March break.
“That might have sparked it,”
she says, of the exchange trip to
Finland.
Not only will the Silver Ring
To urnament have an international
flavour, it has far-reaching national
overtones this year as well. A team
from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia will
compete in the open ‘A’ division;
Two teams from central-west Al-
berta will play in the junior ‘AA’
loop and another Winnipeg-area
team will also compete.
Again, Bignell notes she’s un-
sure how these teams came to
learn about the Silver Ring event,
but organizers are glad they did.
“We’re thrilled to be in this posi-
tion,” says Bignell, who’s the tour-
nament co-chair along with Sheila
Florio.
There’s also a strong Quebec el-
ement at this year’s tournament,
with teams expected from Bouch-
erville, Rive Sud, Montreal and
Laval.
As in past years, the Silver Ring
is bursting at the seams, with 85
teams expected to participate at
the Ajax Community Centre and
Pickering Village Arena. Bignell
notes, unfortunately, that the
event also carried a large waiting
list of teams that were shut out this
year.
As in previous years, the major-
ity of teams from the bunny level
(age four) up to the open category
(age 18 and over) will travel from
across Ontario, including ones
from St. Catharines, Hamilton,
Kitchener, Nepean, Mississauga,
Chatham, Ottawa, Dorchester and
Waldon. As well, Durham Region
is well represented with teams
from Oshawa, Whitby, Sunderland
and Pickering taking part.
The tournament will be opened
officially by Ajax Mayor Steve Par-
ish on Friday, Feb. 18 before a
game between Finland and Ajax
junior ‘AA’ teams at the Ajax Com-
munity Centre, pad 1, at 8:30 p.m.
Also on Feb. 18, the organizers
have also planned a meet-and-
greet session at the community
centre’s Commodore Room, start-
ing at 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. It’s for
all the players and families to get
together in a setting other than on
the ice.
Organizers have many activities
during the weekend at the Ajax
Community Centre, including
ringette merchandise, barbecue
and bar and a host of player-cen-
tred activities, including a ‘Bunny
Hutch’ on Saturday for bunny-
aged players at the event.
Championship games will be
played on Sunday, Feb. 20 at the
Ajax Community Centre.

site at www.ajaxringette.com.

Ajax welcomes teams from as far away as Finland when the 33rd annual Ajax Silver Ring Ringette Tournament hits the
ice next weekend. There will also be teams from across Canada and plenty from Ontario.
AJAX — Top Shelf topped Dick-
son Printing in what proved to be
the closest match during recent Ajax
Men’s Basketball League action.
Sparked by a 19-point effort from
Ivor Walker, Top Shelf netted a 51-45
victory. Yves Dube added 10 points
for the winners. Dickson received
solid production from Claude Feig
and Frank Forde, both with 15.
Michael’s Eatery dined out on
Ollie Golf 66-43 in the second game.
Greg Rowe led the way with 23
points, while Pat Roach and Ken
Russell added 20 and 15, respec-
tively.
Don McEachern was the big man
for Ollie with 11 points, while Sher-
win James chipped in with 10.
North Alliance Press ambushed
ESN Packaging 47-39 to finish the
evening. North Alliance’s balanced
offence, led by David Jackson’s 27
points, proved to be the deciding
factor. Craig Yakimishyn added
seven for North Alliance. ESN was
led by John Esposito’s nine points
and Roger Young’s eight.
