City school gets
fit, earns bucks
PICKERING — A Pickering
school recently partnered with a
fast-food giant to earn funds toward
new gym equipment.
William Dunbar Public School
students earned $1,000 for new gym
equipment while taking part in an
exercise program, Go Active! Olym-
pic Fitness Challenge presented by
McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada
Ltd. with support from the Canadian
Olympic Committee. The first-ever
Go Active! program promotes
physical activity among students and
earned each participating school
credits toward new gym equipment.
William Dunbar completed the
challenge with five classes and 126
students participating. By exercising
regularly and following the program,
students at the school improved on
exercises by an average of 28 per
cent.
The Go Active! Olympic Fitness
Challenge will become an annual
event in which Ontario schools can
par ticipate with the goal of keeping
students active and healthy.

Youth can camp
out in Pickering
PICKERING — The City of Pick-
ering is offering kids a chance to run,
sing, and use their imagination this
summer.
Mini Pidaca is a camp geared to-
ward younger campers, ages three
to five, where children participate in
arts and crafts, theme days, exer-
cise, indoor games, swimming and
more.
The camp runs daily from 9:30
a.m. to noon for two weeks, in the
creative centre at the Pickering Rec-
reation Complex, fully supervised by
qualified staff.
At the end of each two-week
session, parents are invited to come
into camp and join in on songs and
a special group craft, as well as to

Pickering animal sanctuary cries for help
Department rules
electrical problems
caused fire
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING — The president of
the Second Chance Wildlife Sanc-
tuary is appealing for help as the
cleanup gets underway following a
devastating fire last week.
“I’m just calling around trying
to get things donated,” said Joyce
Smith, founder and president. “We
want to get the animals back in the
sanctuary as soon as possible.”
The animals — cats, rabbits and
chincillas — have taken up tempo-
rary shelter in an old leaky portable
on the property since the fire in the
sanctuary building.
“We’ve been keeping a close eye
on them,” Ms. Smith said.
Many of them had their fur and
whiskers singed from the heat
and a few have been experiencing
upper respiratory problems.
“It’s just a miracle any of them
lived,” she said. She entered the
smoke-filled building herself and
came right back out. She is in awe
at how the animals were able to
come out alive after as much as 30
minutes.

But still no confirmation
on capital dollar
commitment for
Pickering facility
By Keith Gilligan
Staff Writer
DURHAM — It appears the commu-
nity has done its job.
With the community’s efforts vital to
the expansion of the Ajax and Pickering
site of Rouge Valley Health System, on
Monday, the hospital’s foundation an-
nounced it had exceeded its fundraising
target by $7 million, raising $20.7 mil-
lion.
About $7.5 million of the money, how-
ever, is from a trio of developers who
have pledged the money if they receive
building permits from Pickering within
18 months. They expect to develop the
property in Seaton at some point, but are
hoping to do it within the time frame.
Dave Bourne, a spokesman for the
hospital foundation, said the founda-
tion has received the pledge and for the
purposes of the fundraising campaign,
having the pledge is “as good as it’s in the
bank.”
Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said at the
announcement on Monday, “no deal”
has been reached with developers. A
planner representing the three wasn’t
available for comment yesterday.
“The funding is coming forward be-
cause the developers think it’s the right
thing to do. There has been no deal
made with any developers for funding of
our hospital,” Mayor Ryan stated.
Gordon Simmonds, chairman of the
Vital Links Campaign, said Monday he
was “thrilled” to exceed the $13.7-mil-
lion.
“We blew it out of the water,” he
added.
The campaign began in 1999 when the
hospital announced expansions plans
for the Ajax facility. The expansion will
add more than 140,000 square feet and
include a new emergency department,
a complex continuing care unit, and ex-
Increased awareness
brings adjustments
from Pickering motorists

DURHAM — If a road trip is in your
summer vacation plans, high gas prices
probably won’t stop you from going.
With oil prices at record highs in re-
cent months, the price of gasoline has
been an eye-popper for consumers some
weeks. In Ontario, the average price has
ranged from a low of around 62 cents
per litre two years ago to more than 90
cents. With the peak driving season here,
the law of supply and demand will likely
keep gas prices at the high end of the
scale, as drivers have angrily noticed on
several long weekends.
But, while the driving public com-
plains, they’re still getting behind the
wheel, says Tatjana Sulker, a Canadian
Automobile Association (CAA) spokes-
woman.
“People are not really driving less due
to the costs,” she says. “Of course they’re
digging deeper into their pockets.”
More in store
for Home and
Leisure Centre
PICKERING — An application to
allow additional uses at the Pickering
Home and Leisure Centre received a
second chance Monday night.
After a rezoning application brought
by RIO CAN, which owns the property,
lost on a tie vote at the June 13 Picker-
ing executive committee meeting, Ward
3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson
brought it back to the table at the June
20 council meeting.
The application requests the floor area
provisions of the existing bylaw be redis-
tributed to allow for more flexibility and
that such uses as a food store or discount
department store be included.
Coun. Johnson said he voted against
the application at committee because of
concern over the possibility of another
grocery store opening in the area.
“The difficulty I was having in sup-
porting this last week was in allowing
another food store,” he said.
In bringing it back, the application
was amended so a food store would
remain a prohibited use at the Pickering
Parkway property.
Mary Bull, solicitor for First Pro Shop-
ping Centre (located to the north of the
property), said her client had concerns
about the application and that neither
of the two new uses should be permit-
ted. She said the market study presented
with the application was out of date.
“The potential impact of those two
uses hasn’t been sufficiently examined
and not just the impact to the First (Pro)
site,” she said.
Currently, there are restrictions in the
bylaw for the Pickering Home and Lei-
sure Centre that restrict the site’s func-
tion to that of a specialty realty node.
RIO CAN contributed the high number
of vacant units to the limit on the kinds
of retailers.
The amended application carried
despite two councillors remaining op-
posed.

Government continually
‘intruding’ into the lives
of private landowners;
signs deliver message
By Jennifer Stone
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Durham farmers are
hoping their form of protest will act
as a sign that government should
back off.
The Durham York Victoria Land-
owners Association, a group largely
made up of members of the agricul-
tural community, has started a sign
campaign, based on one originally
begun in Lanark County, calling for
all levels of government to back off
legislation they say takes away their
land-owner rights.
“The government has incremen-
tally gone further and further into
intruding into the lives of private
landowners,” said Randy Hillier, who,
as president of the Lanark group, was
on hand to help local president Ross
McMaster, a Courtice farmer, put up
the first sign.
The signs read, “This land is our
land. Back off government,” and each
member of the organization receives
one upon paying their $20 member-
ship fee.
The campaign comes in response
to a number of issues and pieces
of legislation, including the Prov-
ince’s Nutrient Management Act, and
Greenbelt Act, said Mr. Hillier.
“It’s amounting to the theft of our
use and enjoyment of our property,”
he said, as local farmers stood poised
to hammer in the first of the local
group’s signs last Friday.
“It’s theft, because there’s no com-
pensation.”
The Greenbelt legislation, which
dramatically limited land that may
be developed in Ontario, from Ni-
agara to Durham Region’s eastern
border, “stole the equity from farm-
ers,” said Mr. McMaster, whose farm
sits at Taunton Road and Courtice
Road.
Fa r mers are already dealing with
competition issues, not only from the
U.S., but from neighbouring Quebec,
said Mr. McMaster.
Government intervention, into
matters like nutrient management,
just adds unnecessary difficulty, he
said.
“Farmers have practised nutrient
management all their lives,” said Mr.
McMaster.
The local group began this spring,
with an inaugural meeting in Hay-
don, and members joined an April
tractor rally, in which farmers took
their concerns on the road to Queen’s
Park.
“Farmers don’t like to protest by
taking their tractors on the road, but
it’s visible,” said Mr. McMaster.

Smog takes a toll
on the health of
Durham residents
By Jillian Follert
Staff Writer
DURHAM — To day is only the sec-
ond official day of summer, but Durham
residents have already coughed and
wheezed their way through a record 21
smog days this season.
According to weather experts, plus-
30 temperatures and a lack of rain have
resulted in an ideal staging ground for
the thick, discoloured air — a trend that
is expected to continue for the rest of the
summer.
“S o far, this summer has been much
warmer and dryer that normal. The
other week we had nine days in a row
where the temperature was over 30,”
said Dave Phillips, a climatologist with
Environment Canada. “This is going to
be the flavour of the season, which is not
good news for people already labouring
under these conditions.”
While smog is simply an annoyance
for some, others struggle with serious
health effects as a result of the heavy
air. Eye, nose and throat irritation, chest
pain, shortness of breath and dizziness
are among the most common symp-
toms.
In Durham, this has some patients
concerned following last month’s an-
nouncement that asthma clinics would
soon close at Lakeridge Health sites in
Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry.
While he acknowledged a general in-
crease in health problems caused by
air pollution, Lakeridge Health Chief of
Staff Dr. Don Atkinson said the asthma
clinics have actually seen decreased use
in recent years.
“The number of people accessing the
services has gone down, because a lot
of the services are available in the com-
munity now,” he explained. “The nega-
tive impact of these closings will be very
small.”
Dr. Atkinson added that Lakeridge
hasn’t seen a significant increase in
emergency room visits during this year’s
smog days.
In contrast, a new study released last
week by the Ontario Medical Associa-
tion said smog kills 5,800 Ontarians each
year, a number that is expected to almost
double over the next 20 years. As well,
air pollution is said to be responsible for
17,000 hospital visits a year, and up to $1
billion in lost workplace productivity.
“A t one time it was just people with
respiratory problems that were affect-
ed, but now we’re learning that it takes
a toll on healthy people over the long
term,” said Jacques Perreault, manager
of environmental health with the Region
of Durham. “As more studies are done,
people are realizing that this won’t go
away on its own... this is something we
all need to work to change.”
The Ministry of the Environment
monitors air conditions during the sum-
mer months, issuing a Smog Watch up to
three days in advance when there is a 50
per cent chance of bad air, and a Smog
Advisory when it is likely that a smog day
will occur within 24 hours.
Mr. Perreault said Durham residents
can help on these days by taking public
transit, delaying the use of small en-
gine tools like lawn mowers and avoid-
ing aerosol sprays, oil-based paints and
other chemical products.
At this week’s Shared Air Summit,
Premier Dalton McGuinty announced
that the government will renew Ontar-
io’s clean air agreements with Quebec,
New York, Minnesota and Michigan and
strive to reach first-time agreements with
other states.
However, the premier also confirmed
that the government will not meet its
promise to close Ontario’s four remain-
ing coal-powered electricity plants by
the end of 2007. The Nanticoke plant is
the largest single source of air pollution
in the province.

Making their case
AJAX — Pamela Giroux, a registered nurse for 26 years, rallies with other RNs from the Rouge Valley Health System, Local 24 of
the Ontario Nurses Association, in front of the Ajax and Pickering hospital. Nurses are protesting the recently announced layoffs at
the health system’s two sites.
DURHAM — Durham’s public high
school supply teachers have reached
a tentative contract agreement with
their employer.
The occasional teachers, members
of the Ontario Secondary School
Te achers’ Federation (OSSTF), work
for the Durham District School Board
and the deal was announced Friday.
Contract details won’t be made pub-
lic until both sides have ratified.
“The negotiating team believes this
is a good agreement for the members
and they will be recommending it to
them,” stated Susan Hawley, Durham
occasional bargaining unit president,
in a press release. “We are pleased
that we were able to reach a settle-
ment and we feel that it has achieved
our local needs.”
In an interview, Hawley noted the
350-member local will vote on the
deal June 27.
P ublic elementary occasional
teachers have not yet reached a ten-
tative deal with the board.
Four-year contract agreements
have already been reached with el-
ementary and secondary full-time
teachers.

Weather enough to leave one short of breath
Smoke and fog
DURHAM — The word “smog”
is actually a combination of “smoke”
and “fog,” but Environment Canada
climatologist Dave Phillips prefers to
describe it as a “toxic pea soup caul-
dron.” Whatever you call it, he says
this brownish-yellow haze requires
very specific ingredients to form.
Ingredient No. 1: Ground level
ozone
This invisible layer forms when
pollutants released by gasoline and
diesel-powered vehicles and oil-based
solvents, react with heat and sunlight.
It can cause inflamed breathing pas-
sages, and eye and nose irritation.
Ingredient No. 2: Airborne par-
ticulate
A mixture of solid particles and
liquid droplets that come from indus-
trial emissions, wind-blown dust from
construction sites and roads, and
vehicle exhaust. Finer particles can
be inhaled into the lungs, while larger
ones settle in the mouth and nose.
Par ticles that are able to reach the
lower regions of the respiratory tract
can affect breathing.
Ingredient No. 3: We ather
Sunlight heats the chemicals, while
a lack of wind and rain prevents them
from dispersing. “If the ground level
ozone and airborne particulate are the
bread dough, the sun is the yeast it
needs to rise,” Mr. Phillips explains.
Environment Canada uses these
factors to determine the daily Air
Quality Index, which ranges from 0
(very good) to 100 (very poor). Dur-
ham is expected to have a moderate
reading of between 32-49, for today.
Metroland
panded diagnostic imaging
and cardiac diagnostic area,
a larger ambulatory care unit,
and nine additional mental
health beds.
The entire project will cost
$59.1 million, with the com-
munity responsible for rais-
ing about one-third.
Mr. Simmonds noted
when the campaign started,
“We asked the community to
step up. A lofty goal was set.”
While the goal may have
seemed insurmountable,
“the incredible generos-
ity of the community” came
through “when it counted
the most,” he noted.
Mr. Simmonds also
praised the hospital’s auxil-
iary, saying, “It stood up for
the hospital when the going
was the toughest. You’ve all
been vital links. Thanks go
out to your communities that
made this all possible.”
The goal is to start con-
struction in about a year, and
the work is expected to be
completed in the fall of 2008.
Hume Martin, Rouge Val-
ley’s chief executive officer,
was pleased to hit the 30-per
cent mark.
“It’s not only symbolic, it’s
practical. The symbolism is
the government will really
be obliged, in my view, to
proceed with the approval of
this project as quickly as pos-
sible. The government says
that hospitals that don’t have
their share in place are not
on the approval list. The fact
we raised our share means
the government has to live
up to its side of the bargain
and approve the project as
quick as possible.”

CAA members can take
advantage of a service that
offers them a triptych of their
driving route on a longer trip.
It shows where gas stations
and hotels are located, map-
ping the route so there are
no wrong turns. That’s a key
consideration for travellers
in times of high prices, Ms.
Sulker says, as people are
more likely to carefully plan a
route ahead of time to avoid
getting lost, thus wasting gas.
According to Ms. Sulker, in
the month of May GTA resi-
dents requested 500 triptychs
to Florida, which makes for a
2005 total of almost 13,000.
Also in 2005, GTA residents
have ordered 920 tripytychs
for destinations in Quebec,
914 for Nova Scotia and over
1,100 for treks to British Co-
lumbia.
“That’s comparable to last
year at the same time,” she
says, noting the figures don’t
include non-CAA members
taking trips.
As for everyday driving, she
says people are making more
of an effort to combine trips
or errands when they leave
the house and get behind the
wheel. Instead of just going
out for milk, for example, a
person might consider what
else she needs and pick up
more things rather than
thinking of it later, necessi-
tating a second trip.
Ms. Sulker says with a little
vigilance drivers can save
fuel and money.
“Make sure your car is
properly maintained, tires
are properly filled and you’re
not carrying heavy loads,”
she says.
If your car is out of ac-
tion or you don’t have one,
a rental is necessary. Brady
Joel, Enterprise Rent-A-Car
branch manager in Oshawa,
says customers are respon-
sible for their gas when they
rent a car and must return the
vehicle with as much fuel in
the tank as when they drove
it off the lot. In that sense, gas
prices have little impact on
business. The vehicles cus-
tomers are driving, however,
have gradually changed in
the last eight months or so,
in part because of high gas
prices.
“We really have scaled
back significantly on our
larger vehicles, bigger en-
gines, V8s and V6s, really,” he
says. “We carry mainly four-
cylinder cars now.”
Mr. Joel says the smaller
vehicles also cost Enterprise
less, but adds that gas prices
were a factor in the decision
to change the fleet’s make-
up. He couldn’t say if renters
drive less when gas prices are
higher.
“It’s hard to say what
people need the cars for,” he
said. “I assume people would
most likely use our cars as
they would their own.”
At Community Care in
Uxbridge, more than 200
volunteers deliver Meals on
Wheels, visit seniors, take
them to medical appoint-
ments and do other work that
can involve a lot of driving.
Administrator Lorrie Hous-
ton explains only drivers in
the transportation program,
who take seniors to the doc-
tor or shopping, for example,
are reimbursed for their gas
costs.
The rate for around two
years has been 30 cents per
kilometre, which is paid not
by community care, but by
the client.
“We are looking at ways to
help the volunteers but not
put more onerous costs on
the client,” she says. “That’s
where we’re stuck right
now.”
Fortunately, Community
Care drivers have big hearts
and want to help people,
even if it means a bit of a
financial sacrifice. Ms. Hous-
ton says she doesn’t hear
complaints, but the organi-
zation must be aware of the
issue and is “looking at it all
the time.”

EDITORIAL
Society has caused
smog problem
now it must fix it
I t’s thick, hazy and makes going outside unpleasant. But
smog doesn’t just make you feel bad, it also kills.
And the problem of smog in Ontario is getting worse — far
worse — in a June that has featured boiling hot, muggy days.
For instance, we’ve already had a record 21 smog days this
year and summer just started yesterday.
It promises to be a smoggy summer, one that could see well
over the 5,800 Ontarians killed that the Ontario Medical Asso-
ciation says smog accounts for each year.
And it gets worse: the OMA is predicting yearly smog deaths
in the province could double in the next 20 years.
It doesn’t help matters that the promise made during the last
provincial election campaign by Dalton McGuinty that Ontario’s
four coal-powered electricity plants would be closed by 2007,
was broken the other day.
Premier McGuinty said the power generated by the plants will
be needed; however, it’s worth noting the Nanticoke coal-fired
plant is the single largest source of air pollution in Ontario.
And while Lakeridge Health officials claim the shutting down
of asthma clinics in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry will
have little effect, it can’t be helpful to shut out areas of relief
for citizens as the region grows and as breathing problems in-
crease.
The bottom line with smog is that we, as a society, have cre-
ated the problem and only we, together, can solve the problem.
Changing long-held habits that can induce smog will offer the
only solutions to reduce the number of smog days we will have
to live through in future.
Common sense rules the day and if you’re keen to take the
one-tonne challenge and do your part to reduce emissions,
you’d be wise to take public transit or carpool whenever pos-
sible.
The Smart Commute system, which is on its way to Durham,
may offer relief in pairing up people who live and work in simi-
lar locales.
There is more we can do: turn off the lights and try to keep
your air-conditioner on low; avoid using aerosol sprays, oil-
based paints and other chemical products; don’t smoke or use
the barbecue; stick to a moderate speed when driving and avoid
idling.
Governments, of course, will have to continue to work hard
to reduce air pollution and to develop programs and incentives
that induce businesses and industries to pollute less.
But, in the end, we’ll all have to chip in. If we all do a little, a
lot gets done.
P PAGE 6 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆JUNE 22, 2005
T wo days from now I will
be sitting in the pub-
lic school gymnasium
watching my oldest son gradu-
ate from Grade 8. It boggles the
mind.
When did this kid, who used
to sit in the bathtub and chirp
like a little bird at me while I
washed his hair, suddenly grow
up. His mother took him out
to buy some new graduation
shoes the other day, and he
came back with a shiny pair of
size 11s!
He is as tall as her now and
there is every indication he will
outstrip the old man in short
order. This is one of those sem-
inal moments when you can
actually begin to feel just how
fast the earth is spinning, how
quickly the days, months and
years are passing. I feel joy, im-
mense pride and some regret.
And of course, I feel his hand
slowly slipping out of mine.
Like all parents who love
their children, I have an im-
mense desire to say something
to him, to impart some hard-
won wisdom that will make his
days ahead easier or at least
smoother. The more I think
about it though, the things that
I think will help the most are
hardly profound. In fact, they’re
pretty familiar. Still, Duncan,
here they are. Ponder some of
these chestnuts, my son, as you
cross yet another wonderful
threshold in your life.
1. Look in the corners for
your dance partners, that’s
where the real jewels hide.
2. No matter how hard you
work, play harder.
3. Write your thoughts
down.
4. Make everyone laugh, and
no one cry.
5. Remember on your dark-
est days, there are always cook-
ies at home.
6. Never forget how to do
nothing.
7. Be kind to nerds, they’re
usually very interesting people
and they will rule the world one
day.
8. Date at least one girl your
Mom hates.
9. Play a contact sport. The
courage and friendships you
will develop will last you a life-
time.
10. Make lots of room for
music in your life.
11. Don’t take any of it too
seriously.
12. Unfortunately, you will
need some math.
13. When looking for a girl
friend, watch what she eats and
what she reads.
14. Pick your friends for their
hearts, not their haircuts.
15. Date at least one girl your
Dad loves.
16. When it comes to falling
in love, go big or go home.
17. Remember how bad a
broken heart feels and be gen-
tle with someone else’s.
18. The homework is never
as important as they tell you.
19. Let the ‘cool’ kids peak
in high school. Go for the long
ball.
20. Remember, when it seems
like the future holds nothing for
you, you can always be a guid-
ance counselor.
And finally, I would like to
tell you that you have nothing
to fear in this life. You are on
your own path and you cannot
‘not’ get to where you are head-
ed. Underneath it all, there is
nothing but love.
Just enjoy the hell out of the
journey my boy.
Neil Crone, actor-comic-writ-
er, saves some of his best lines for
his columns.
Work stoppage
not necessary
To the editor:
As a citizen of Ontario, I
was pleased when a tentative
settlement was reached with
OPSEU without a work stop-
page, offering a 9.75-per cent
increase over four years.
As a parent of two students
in the public school system,
I was pleased when a settle-
ment was reached with the
Te achers Federation without
a work stoppage, settling on a
10.64-per cent increase over 4
years.
As a commuter, I was
pleased when a settlement
was reached with GO Transit
without a work stoppage.
As a consumer of electric-
ity, I was pleased when Hydro
One settled without a work
stoppage with the Power
Wo rkers Union with a 9-per
cent increase over 3 years.
As an employee of Hydro
One and a member of the So-
ciety of Energy Professionals,
why has the Province caused a
work stoppage trying to force
an increase in working hours
without compensation and a
two-tiered pay and benefits
plan that would be discrimi-
natory to new employees?
All the while the company
is making record profits and
Hydro One executives have
enjoyed record-breaking pay
increases of up to 819 per
cent.

Belinda Stronach
deserves defeat
To the editor:
Recently, we had the mis-
fortune to watch Belinda Stro-
nach betray the Conservative
Party by crossing the floor to
the Liberal Party.
Was her motive to gain
power other than her billion-
dollar empire or go down in
history as the woman who
saved Canada? Either way, it
was a betrayal.
A law should be made that
once you are elected, you stay
with that party until another
election or resign.
It would look good on Ms.
Stronach if she was voted out
come the next election.

Broken glass more
upsetting than
dog’s mess
To the editor:
Re: ‘Clean up after your dog,’
letter to the editor, June 8.
I am a dog lover and re-
sponsible dog owner, and I
took great offence to the letter.
I agree that there are a small
percentage of dog owners
who don’t take responsibility
for their dogs by picking up
after them, but I am part of
the larger group of dog owners
who are responsible.
I have been to Heber Downs
and seen the mess you speak
about and am also appalled.
As a conscientious dog
owner and taxpayer, I am more
repulsed by the broken glass
that is present in parks and
schoolyards in our communi-
ties. In the last two years I have
paid over $500 in vet bills due
to irresponsible people/kids
who believe it is acceptable
to break their bottles instead
of putting them in the garbage
pails that are readily available.
This is a serious issue that
needs to be addressed, not
only for animals that are in
harm’s way but also our chil-
dren. Brenda, your intentional
message was “pick up after
your dog”, but it came across as
“d og owners are gross people”
which really offended me.
Please think about what
you say and how it comes
across. By generalizing like
you did, you really insulted
all dog owners for the very
small population that are not
responsible. Unfortunately,
the more serious issues in our
parks and schoolyards never
get addressed.

A celebration of life
Jen Fox, a cancer survivor, was the inspiration for Wyatt Williams
to start a ‘Relay for Life’ event at his school, Westcreek Public, in
Pickering. Held in Valleyview Park, 500 people took part and raised
more than $10,000 on June 2. Several other cancer survivors were
also on hand for the event. Wyatt was told by the organization his is
only the fourth such school event held in Canada to date and the first
in Durham. Because of the large total raised by students, the school
principal and other staff ate lunch on the roof one day.

Integrated collection system to
link transit across the GTA
By David Blumenfeld
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Commuters in Durham Region will
soon be able to use a common transit card to travel
as far west as Hamilton without the need for addi-
tional transfers or passes.
Using smart card technology, the GTA Farecard
will allow customers to ride on any participating
transit service by way of an integrated fare collection
system. It will be introduced in early 2007, and is
expected to be fully in place by 2010, the Ministry of
Transportation said. It is a joint project between the
Ontario government, GO Transit and other munici-
pal transit agencies.
“It’s certainly something that’s going to be revolu-
tionary, and hopefully very convenient for the vari-
ous customers we have,” said Ted Galinis, general
manager of transit for the Region of Durham. “This
allows you now total universal travel anywhere in
the system in the GTA.”
Because transit was in the process of being trans-
ferred to the Region, Mr. Galinis said individual
transit operators in Durham were not in a position
to sign the agreement. He said that will change in
due time.
“We appear to be for it... I think it will be a good
fit,” he said. “We’re due to go live late 2008, 2009.”
Provincial Transportation Minister Harinder
Ta khar said at the June 14 announcement that creat-
ing transit culture in Ontario means using the latest
technology to improve transit service.
“With the new GTA Farecard, riders won’t have to
search for exact change, buy tickets or carry differ-
ent passes to travel on different transit systems,” he
said. “The possibilities are endless. In Hong Kong,
for example, transit fare cards can also be used at
parking facilities, fast food outlets and vending ma-
chines.”
Andrew Aggio, 18, and Stewart Van-Rhee, 20,
two commuters who were waiting at the Whitby Go
Station the same day the Province announced the
new fare card, said they could have used it to get to
To ronto faster.
“We missed the train by about three minutes buy-
ing tickets today, but if we had the card we could
have gotten right on. It sounds a lot more conve-
nient,” Mr. Aggio said.
The cost of the card has yet to be announced, but
Mr. Van-Rhee said the price will be critical in his
decision to use it. “It sounds practical. It really all
depends on the price,” he added.
Meanwhile, Vladi Ivanov, 16, said the card will be
a good incentive for people to ride public transit.
She said she would consider using a new smart card
in the future to visit family in Ajax and to travel to
school in Toronto.
“O bviously, we have a commuter culture out here
in Durham,” she said. “I think, to encourage people
to drive less, and to reduce smog and pollution, it’s
very important to have more efficient transit.” Regional departments making
the switch over next four months
By Carly Foster
Staff Writer
DURHAM — It won’t happen overnight.
Moving more than a 1,000 people into a new
headquarters (HQ) — along with the office supplies,
furniture and files — is going to take until the end of
September. And that means some services will be in
their current offices, while others will move into the
new facility.
Regional departments are moving into the new
Regional headquarters at 605 Rossland Rd. starting
June 24 until Sept. 23. The old white Regional head-
quarters, which will still house superior courts, will
now be known as 601 Rossland Rd.
“O ne of the predominant issues is because the
parking garage is not being finished until the end
of August,” said Glenn Kippen, director of support
services. It’s scheduled to be complete by Aug. 31.
A grand opening and open house is planned for
late October. Visit www.region.durham.on.ca for
updates and move info.
Until then, the schedule of which department will
be where until when appears at right.
Some social services are remaining in their cur-
rent locations, however.
They are:
• Oral health, income-based dentist, 1615 Dun-
das St. E, Whitby, 2nd floor
• Family services

Pickering student leaving
high school early
By Mike Ruta
Staff Writer
PICKERING — Paul Yang isn’t quite old
enough to get his driver’s licence, but he’s al-
ready been accepted to university for fall stud-
ies.
The Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate
turns 16 this month and is heading to Queen’s
University in Kingston in September.
“The first year is general engineering,” ex-
plains Paul. “I plan to take mechanical en-
gineering and maybe do the double degree
program they have there, engineering and law.”
In another era, Paul would be called a Re-
naissance man. At the tender age of eight, he
became the youngest black belt in Canada,
in the martial art of Chikarajitsu. He’s taking
a second trip to Mexico this summer through
his church, Cornerstone Christian Community
Church, to help out at an orphanage. Paul is
also an accomplished drummer who used to
play in a band.
And then there’s scholastics — Paul’s always
been ahead of his time. In Grade 1, he took
end-of-year math testing and did so well he ad-
vanced to Grade 2 math. In Grade 6, his father,
Ben, says he worried what would happen when
his son would be taking Grade 9 math while still
in elementary school. Paul was pulled from the
public school and enrolled at Pickering Chris-
tian School, where he took all Grade 7 class-
es and thrived. He then entered high school,
younger and smaller than his classmates.
“It was all right actually, because I did have a
few friends who had brothers in older grades,”
Paul says. “It’s a little weird being so small and
going into high school.”
He says Grade 12 has been “a little bit more
challenging” than the early high school years.
Still, he’s sporting a 92 per cent average. Paul
says he spends about one or two hours a night
on homework, if that.
“I get a lot of the schoolwork done in classes,”
he says, noting it’s easier to finish up much
of his homework at school now that he has a
spare.
Pine Ridge principal Sarah McDonald says,
“it doesn’t happen very often when we have a
15-year-old going to university.
“He’s a hard worker and not only that, but
he’s very involved,” she says, noting Paul’s in-
volved in the school band, along with other
activities outside of school.
Paul’s confident he won’t have a problem set-
tling in at university as he says he fits in pretty
well in any environment. School work comes
first, but he hopes to get involved in sports such
as badminton and join a band.
“I’m very excited,” he says of going to univer-
sity, adding, as he pats his dad’s knee, “Not to
say that I want to go away.”
“I want him to go,” Mr. Yang replies.

David Ryan
Mayor
Last year: B
The agricultural preserve is
repeatedly putting Pickering
and Mayor Ryan in the spot-
light. However, he has been
strong and consistent in de-
fending Pickering’s position
on the issue, which at times
has put him at odds with
some community groups.
At regional council he’s
careful to present the matter
under the umbrella of self-
autonomy.
The revelation that he at-
tended for free a $10,000-a-
plate Liberal fundraising din-
ner, where a developer was
lobbying for land-use chang-
es, and didn’t tell his council
colleagues, calls into question
his judgment.

Three big issues dominate Pickering
politics now and moving forward
H ang on Pickering, the ride is
only beginning.
It’s been a controversial 12
months since the News Advertiser last
published its municipal Report Card.
Then, Pickering council earned a B
for its first six months on the job. In
the time since, councillors have dealt
with lawsuits, threatened lawsuits and
plenty of talk about land in north Pick-
ering.
Certainly topping any list of issues
must be the removal of the agricultural
easements on a number of proper-
ties in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural
Preserve. The two camps on the issue
seem set in their ways, with the City ar-
guing the easements were never meant
to be on the land forever, despite sign-
ing a deal that they would be there “in
perpetuity.” The opposition has been
led by a vocal group that recently filed
a contempt allegation with the Ontario
Mu nicipal Board, hoping to have the
easements restored.
The City’s ability to plan its growth
in the north has been another lengthy
battle, with Pickering’s plan continu-
ing to run in opposition to that of the
Province. Council has fought for the
City’s right to control growth within
its borders. Residents expect land-use
issues to be determined by their duly
elected municipal representatives, not
the Province.
And rounding out a big three of is-
sues, so to speak, in the last 12 months
has been the proposed airport for the
federal lands in North Pickering. While
it is only a proposal at this point, op-
position has slowly been building from
residents’ groups such as Voters Orga-
nized to Cancel the Airport Lands and
Land Over Landings. Still, if a need is
proven, the federal lands were set aside
for an airport and such a facility would
be a big boost economically for Picker-
ing and Durham as a whole.
On an individual level, Dave Ryan
has taken charge more often in his first
term as mayor, but the more aggres-
sive approach has also made for
several public clashes. Mayor
Ryan has also been con-
sistent in his belief the
City should be doing
its own planning
and hasn’t wa-
vered from that
message, nor his
position on the
legal settlement
over the agri-
cultural ease-
ments.
At the regional
level, Bill McLean
has made a relative-
ly smooth transition from local
politics, offering a calming influence
on City issues. Although an effective
councillor this year, he was involved in
less issues than last year.
Maurice Brenner remains at the head
of the Pickering class, rolling his sleeves
up and digging in, no matter the issue.
He continues to drive forward a pedes-
trian bridge over Hwy. 401, a link that
w ill bring new economic growth to
the continued development of a vital
downtown core. He also ably serves as
deputy mayor in Mr. Ryan’s absence.
Rick Johnson is no doubt in touch
with his constituents, immersing him-
self and taking the lead on a number
of community projects. His expens-
es, however, continue to be excessive
when compared to other councillors
across Durham Region.
Locally, Doug Dickerson is the new-
old guy on the block. Since his byelec-
tion win in November, the longtime
city politician has been visible and
vocal. He’s raised a number of
issues with the proposed
nuclear alerting system
and continues to show
he’s not afraid to offer
a dissenting voice.
His approach with
people at times,
however, is too
heavy-handed.
For his part,
Kevin Ashe is ap-
proachable and ac-
cessible, but at times
could be more vocal.
Ta king the lead on more
issues, such as his call for a
more cautious approach to this year’s
budget spending, will serve him well.
David Pickles is the only member of
council to move up a grade this year
and that’s owing in large part to his
diligence with the airport proposal.
He’s been fighting for more review of
the project.
Not only is the year ahead going to
bring more of the same in Pickering,
but so to are a good number of years
after that. Getting council on the same
page and sticking to its message is a
must going forward.
For its work, Pickering council has
earned a B grade over the last year.
Kevin Ashe

City Councillor
Last year: B
Coun. Ashe isn’t afraid
to e x press a different view
than his peers — such as
his belief that the C ity not
go on a spending spree
during the 2005 budget.
When he makes a com-
ment it is well thought
out, but he could be more
vocal at times.
He has yet to spearhead
an issue of his own. Coun.
Ashe is a good councillor
but has the ability to be
a stronger voice for his
constituents.
His expenses are high
for a local councillor.

As chairman of the race

sented the City well when
filling in for Mayor Ryan.
Money was put in the

years of pushing for road-

some were finally added
to the 2005 budget. He is
working with his constitu-
ents concerned about the
possibility of a north Pick-
ering airport.
Although Coun. Johnson
carries with him a wealth of

he doesn’t champion issues
at council. Again, we would

Ajax girls strike
for more gold
AJAX — Gold seems to be becom-
ing a habit for the Ajax Strikers girls’
under-10 rep soccer team.
The Strikers put forth another gold-
en performance to capture the cham-
pionship at the recent Barrie Spiritfest
Soccer tournament. Competing against
many of the top teams in the province,
the Strikers went undefeated.
Ajax scored 19 goals in five tourna-
ment games, while allowing one against.
In their first tournament of the sea-
son last month, the Strikers captured
the Oshawa Kicks Tournament crown
with a 4-2 victory over a determined
host squad. In this event, the Ajacians
scored 21 goals and allowed three in
four games.
The Strikers also came off a solid
indoor season where they played up a
division in the under-11 category. Com-
peting in the higher division, the Ajax
squad compiled a 12-1-3 record en route
to the division league championship.
Team members are Charmaine
Bosse, Tamara Brown, Darrian Capizzo,
Bethany Coke, Mikayla Dias, Lauren
Duggan, Sonya Feziak, Keyanna Howard,
Jaimie Laing, Alexandria Lamontagne-
Maycock, Mackenzie Langford, Sarah
Liderri, Colleen Milne and Sabrina Yusuf.

Rock sign Ladouceur
for stretch run
DURHAM — While the Ajax-Picker-
ing Rock has bumped along with a losing
record in the regular season, the senior
‘B’ lacrosse team is taking steps to en-
sure that doesn’t happen in the playoffs.
To ward a successful playoff run,
Rock coach and general manager Paul
St. John announced the club has signed
To r onto Rock defensive stalwart Dan
Ladouceur for the remainder of the
season. He’s also attempting to track
down several other players prior to the
league’s early July
trade deadline.
Ladouceur,
a Durham Region
police officer,
agreed to join the
Ajax-Pickering Rock
and Toronto team-
mate Jim Veltman, after finding his work
schedule and the remaining senior ‘B’
schedule didn’t overlap, says St. John.
“We asked him two months ago, but
he was non-committal due to his work
as a police officer,” explained St. John.
“We waited patiently and he looked at
our schedule and saw that he could get
to a lot of our (remaining) games. He
e-mailed me and he’ll practise tonight
(Tuesday). We’ll get him his number-6
jersey and get him ready for Friday.”
Ladouceur is expected to make his
debut for the Rock against the Kitch-
ener-Waterloo Kodiaks at the Pickering
Recreation Complex on Friday night at 8
p.m.
As a longtime defensive warrior
for Toronto’s National Lacrosse League
team, Ladouceur will fit nicely into the
Ajax-Pickering Rock defence.
“He’s a big guy who plays his posi-
tion very well. He’ll add strength to the
left side of our defence,” says St. John.
St. John says he’s also been in con-
tact with the Rock’s Major Series affili-
ate, the Peterborough Lakers, and may
get a couple players to join Ajax-Picker-
ing for the stretch and playoff run.
The Rock are expected to play the
Brooklin Merchants in the first round of
the playoffs, which will get underway in
early July.
[ Volleyball ]

Swami finishes seventh
overall at her first-ever
Canadian championships
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
PICKERING — Competing at her
first nationals was a real eye-opener
for Pickering gymnast Tara Swami.
Swami represented the Pickering
Aerials Gymnastics Club at the 2005
Canadian Gymnastics Championships
at the University of British Columbia,
in Vancouver, competing against the
best from across the country in the
open women’s 13-to-15 category.
The 15-year-old finished seventh
overall at her first national champion-
ship, tied with Nova Scotia’s Chelsea
Lefort. And, she notes the experience
will make her that much better in the
coming years.
“I got to train with a lot of other na-
tional gymnasts,” says Swami, taking a
break from her training session for an
interview. “I’m not used to that, but it
was fun to see the skills that they had.”
In fact, the Grade 9 student at Picker-
ing High School was on pace to finish
with an even higher all-round score.
A mistake on her floor exercise rou-
tine, however, caused her to finish well
back in a 17th-place tie in that event,
ultimately costing her a better overall
result.
“If I had of hit my floor routine, I
would have been in the top-three all-
round,” says Swami.
“I hope to make it back next year so
I can redeem myself.”
As it was, she nailed a strong balance
beam routine to finish sixth, was sixth
on the vault, and eighth on uneven
bars.
Glen Cooper, head coach at the
Pickering Aerials, notes that despite
Swami’s problems with the floor rou-
tine, he was pleased with her progress.
The intention at the start of the season
was to make it to the national champi-
onship.
“We went in with a goal of making
top 20 and making it to the second day
of competition. We accomplished that,
so we’re pleased,” says Cooper.
In order to qualify, Swami attended
the Elite Ontario meet in Caledonia
last April. There, she competed against
older competition in order to secure a
top-12 placing in her open category.
Despite a fall during her beam per-
formance, she ended up 11th overall
— enough to secure a berth at nation-
als.
Her best showing this year, says
Swami, was at the Gymnix Interna-
tional Meet in Montreal where she fin-
ished sixth overall in the national open
division, including a second-place fin-
ish on bars. She competed against top
gymnasts from the U.S., Canada and
Mexico.
Swami says her immediate goal is to
continue to train and compete at the
national level, with an eye to eventu-
ally earning a U.S. gymnastics scholar-
ship. She hopes to study and compete
in gymnastics at either Berkeley or
Stanford University in California.
In the interim, she will train five days
a week at the Aerials’ club during the
off-season, working on skills four-and-
a-half hours each day. Later on in the
fall, she’ll begin to put together her
routines for the competition season,
which begins in November.

Rock drops replayed
game to St. Clair Storm
Ajax-Pickering senior Bs
beat rival Brooklin
By Al Rivett
Sports Editor
DURHAM — Sunday’s loss to the
Sarnia-based St. Clair Storm added
insult to injury for the Ajax-Pickering
Rock.
It was a game the senior ‘B’ lacrosse
team didn’t want to replay, a game
Rock team management felt they had
won originally back on May 28. Un-
fortunately, because of league rules,
the previous contest, which ended in
a brawl requiring police presence with
the Rock leading 10-4, was declared
null and void as two periods had not
been completed.
The game was
played in its en-
tirety in Sarnia
S unday and,
with the Rock
short-staffed due
to Father’s Day,
A jax-Pickering
suffered a 10-
7 setback. The
Rock, with only
15 players in
uniform, fought the host Storm to a 7-
7 tie in the third period. St. Clair roared
back, however, with two goals and an
empty-net marker to settle the issue.
Sunday’s replayed contest was a
might tamer than its predecessor, with
only 24 minutes in penalties handed
out — 10 to the Rock.
For Rock head coach Paul St. John,
the return to Sarnia — especially for a
game that had to be played on Father’s
Day — was a bitter pill. To, in turn, lose
the makeup game was especially tough
to swallow.
“Everything we went through from
the last time, we thought we had won
the game the last time, but (the league)
made us replay it, so it’s a huge bitter
taste for us,” he says. “But, the league is
the league and we had to replay it.”
If there was a silver lining, it was
the fact that all but one of the Rock
players suspended as a result of the
May 28 fracas, were back on the floor.
Returning were goaltender Jay Preece,
D.J. Cox and Shawn Summerfield. The
other suspended player, Brandon La-
forme, wasn’t in uniform.
The Rock were also without team
captain Jim Veltman and fellow pro
Jason Crosbie.
Mark Craig, tied for the league scor-
ing lead, was the best player on the
floor for the Rock, scoring two goals
and adding three assists. Jaime Lums-
den also netted a pair of goals, with
singles to John Derochie, Brad Cann
and affiliated player Jason Dale. Other
assists went to Summerfield, Ed Fines,
Derochie, Steve Dunn and Cann.
The Rock managed to beat Durham
Region rival Brooklin Merchants for a
second time this season, 12-8 in over-
time, on Saturday night at the Pick-
ering Recreation Complex. The Rock
held a comfortable 8-4 lead in the
third period when the visitors scored
four consecutive power-play markers
to send it into extra time.
“It was probably our best all-round
game this year,” pronounced St. John.
“I was really proud of the way we
played.”
St. John praised the work of de-
fensive specialist John Veltman, who
joined the Rock this season. As well as
playing his usual solid defensive game,
John chipped in with a pair of goals, in-
cluding converting on a backhand shot
after being setup on a 2-on-1 break by
brother Jim.
“We don’t expect him to score be-
cause he’s such a defensive standout,”
says St. John. “He played his best game
since arriving here.”
Craig was again the sparkplug for
the Rock, notching four goals and add-
ing an assist. Other scorers were Cann
with two, Steve Dunn, Bill McLean,
Jim Veltman and Lumsden. Other as-
sists went to Jim Veltman and Crosbie
each with three, Jay Preece, Cody La-
forme, and Derochie each with two,
Nick Black, Cann and John Veltman.
The Rock play twice at home this
weekend, facing the East Division-
leading Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks
on Friday night at the complex at 8
p.m. On Saturday, the Rock hosts the
Mohawk Stars at the complex at 7 p.m.

Ajax family’s kitchen gets star treatment
TV show takes
over Coats home
for renovation
By David Stell
News Editor
AJAX — Just don’t take the table.
That’s all Dave Coats requested
when his kids and a group of strang-
ers stormed his kitchen to take it
apart.
“That table is my pride and joy,” he
said. “I stewed over it all weekend, it
was the one thing we didn’t want to
lose.”
He and his wife Mary simply had
to let go though as their son Rob-
ert and daughter Kathleen Santha
brought the crew of ‘My Parents’
House’ to their Ajax home on Dreyer
Drive, to bring the kitchen into the
21st century.
The premise of the show has chil-
dren updating a room in their par-
ents’ home, a room “stuck in a time
warp,” Santha says. She found the
show on Home and Garden Televi-
sion’s website, a cable network, and
immediately thought her parents’
home fit the bill.
Santha’s entry was selected and
her parents were sent away for a
weekend in May, while a film crew,
some home construction experts
and show hosts Andrika Lawren and
Emmanuel Belliveau led the brother-
and-sister team into a home renova-
tion of Dave and Mary’s outdated
kitchen. It was all completed in a
three-day stretch, with some long
days of hard work, stretching into
the wee hours each day.
In the end, though, the hard work
paid off.
“We’re very happy,” Rob said.
“They’ve done it to absolute per-
fection,” added Santha. “I’m hard to
please, but they blew me away.”
But what about the people who
will live with the new kitchen, Dave,
Mary and most of all, what about
Dave’s beloved table?
“I was overwhelmed,” Mary said.
“There’s all new appliances and our
kids worked so hard on it. One night
they went to 3:30 a.m. taking wallpa-
per off.”
Explaining a little more about the
table, Dave said he made it more
than 30 years ago at a woodworking
class at Durham College, and it has
been a mainstay in the kitchen ever
since.
“I was very happy to see it re-
tained,” he said. “I’m the world’s
worst handyman, I only have three
things I’ve ever made.”
Now it’s an extra treat for he and
Mary as the television show refur-
bished the table, adding an Aus-
tralian theme to it, to incorporate
Dave’s heritage.
When they first found out their
daughter had submitted their home
for inclusion in the show, they were
skeptical, not believing they’d be
chosen. When they were picked,
they became nervous, not looking
forward to being on TV. In the end,
the longtime Ajax couple was very
happy with the entire experience,
and especially their fabulous new
kitchen.
They spent the weekend at the
Holiday Inn in Toronto and a film
crew shot footage of them enjoying
their time away from the home while
it was renovated.
“They filmed us playing tennis and
biking,” Mary said.
Back at the house during that time,
Santha said she was surprised at how
they worked with the room as it was.
She had expected them to have to
tear out a wall to make the kitchen
work, but that wasn’t the case.
“I walked in thinking ‘I’m in a
show home’ (when it was complet-
ed),” she said.
“I didn’t think they’d be able to do
so much in two days and how well
they do it all,” Rob added.
When it came time to unveil the
new room to mom and dad, though,
it was a case of mixed feelings, they
both said.
“I knew they’d like it,” Rob said.
“But it didn’t stop us from being
nervous,” Santha said.
Watching the crew go about its
business in the final hour of taping
the show, they displayed a remark-
able sense of humour despite all of
the hard work, extra takes and lim-
ited space getting around the living
room and kitchen with cameras and
lighting equipment. ‘Holy Doodle!’
was a phrase heard on more than
one occasion and it turned out to be
an inside joke among the crew and
the show’s hosts as they lightened
the mood and laughed while they
worked.
Lawren and Belliveau explained
that the Coats kitchen turned out to
be one of their biggest challenges of
the 12 shows they’ve taped so far in
their first season. But, the connec-
tion they have with their subjects
makes it a fun job.
“It’s surreal how close we get to
the family, especially the siblings,”
Lawren said. “We always try to in-
corporate something special to the
family, that’s our challenge.”
“It’s not just a design show in that
way, we show the family,” Belliveau
said. “Thirty years later they have a
new kitchen.”
My Parents’ House airs seven
times each week and the Coats’ show
is scheduled to appear the week of
June 20, with the first airing Mon-
day, June 20 at 9:30 a.m. The first
prime-time showing is Tuesday at
9:30 p.m.

and fair bathroom renovator?
Sam Beninato, vice-president of
operations for Plumbing Mart
Corporation, has a checklist of what
to look for in a bathroom renovator,
so your dream (and not your
neighbour’s nightmare) will come
true.
Make sure the contractor is
attached to a piece of real estate.
“This whole business is based on
horror stories. Pick someone who
is attached to a branch and has an
offi ce where there is some real
estate, so there’s a place you can
go to complain should you have
troubles.”
Ensure your renovator
has been in business
at least fi ve years.
“Experience foresees
a lot of problems. For
example, in Etobicoke you
fi nd a lot of bathrooms
with concrete, lathe
and plaster six inches
thick. Many of the newer
homes in Scarborough
or Brampton have walls
of just thin drywall.
Knowing what to expect
means the renovator can
complete the job on time
and within budget.”
A bathroom renovator
should have adequate
crews and manpower.
Beninato points out that
if you hire a one-man
show and his truck breaks
down, your job may be
delayed. A renovator
with crews means he
has resources to call
upon if he encounters a
problem.
Having a service
department is important.
Beninato warns that
products can fail and
faucets can loosen.
You need to know that
someone has the time to
take care of your after-
sale problems.
A good renovator will
be happy to show you
references from his 10
most recent jobs. Make
sure those references
include jobs the renovator
is currently working on,
so you can check that he
has not cherry-picked the
only 10 happy customers
he’s ever had. Ask lots
of questions about
courtesy and keeping on
schedule.
Expect a good
warranty. Make sure the
warranty covers labour
and not just parts, because if a part
fails, someone will have to re-install
it. Plumbing Mart offers a fi ve-year
warranty on parts and labour.
Now that you’ve found a renovator
who fi ts the bill, you still have a
few steps to go
through before
starting the job.
Budget must
be considered.
Beninato says
that the cost
of a bathroom
should be
anywhere from
$150 to $200
per square foot,
although the
sky’s the limit if
you have the money.
A wise consumer will remember
this rule of thumb: Set aside a
bathroom renovation budget of
no more than fi ve per cent of the
market value of your home. This will
ensure that you don’t spend more
money upgrading your bathroom
than you’ll ever get in return when
selling it.
Check the contractor’s liability
insurance, workman’s compensation
and licence to do the work. “If you
get pulled over by a cop, he’s going
to ask you for your licence. Don’t be
embarrassed to ask him to produce
the papers.”
“If the renovator injures himself
on the job, or the water bursts forth
from the pipes and destroys your
hardwood fl oor, you will be relieved
you hired a renovator that has
protected your interests by being
fully covered.”
Make sure you get a detailed
work order. It should list the model
numbers of the products you have
chosen as well as the colours and
location of fi xtures. The quote
should be clear about when the job
will start and
how many
consecutive
days it will take
to complete.
Set up a
payment
installment
plan. You
should pay 10
per cent up
front, or up to
25 per cent if
the contractor
will be buying product for you.
Make further payments as various
benchmarks are achieved. If you
hired a general contractor who’s
given the work to various sub-trades
or ordered products specifi cally to
your address, hold back 10 per cent
for 45 days.
Beninato say the Construction Lien
Act gives sub-trades and suppliers 45
days to put a lien on your property
if the general contractor has not
paid them. Ask the contractor to
show you proof of payment before
releasing the 10 per cent.
Beninato says Plumbing Mart has
its own labour force and buys all
products in its own name, so the
homeowner doesn’t risk having
liens placed on the family home.
And one fi nal word of advice to
homeowners hiring a bathroom
renovator: “This is not a reality TV
show. You won’t have 12 guys in
your fi ve-foot
by seven-foot
bathroom at
7 a.m. tearing
down walls and
producing a
fancy new room
by fi ve o’clock
that night.
Have realistic
e xpectations.
Products can
be defective.
Timing can be
off by just a day or two.”
Plumbing Mart has six branches
in the Greater Toronto Area, has
been in operation for 45 years, has
completed over 16,000 renovations
and has a dedicated service
department. All showrooms feature
many bathroom displays typical
to the neighbourhood. For more
information, please visit www.
plumbingmart.ca.

ROBINSON, Marion A.- Passed away peacefully
at Community Nursing Home, Pickering on Friday
June 17, 2005, in her ninety first year. Beloved wife
of the late Harold Dahl Robinson (1912-1962), lov-
ing mother of Donna Dana, Joan and her husband
Ron Shepherd, Susan and her husband Graham
Shiels. Loving grandmother of Shelley, Laura and
Matthew, and great-grandmother of Simone and
Wyndham. Also, a loving friend to Carmen Price.
She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Me-
morial service will be held at St. George's Anglican
Church in Pickering Village on August 6th at 1:30
p.m. (Randall and Kingston Rd.) The scattering of
her ashes in the church garden will be followed by a
reception in the church hall. Arrangements entrust-
ed to MCEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME,905-428-
8488. Marion was born in Hamiota, Manitoba in
1914. She grew up in the community of McConnell,
pioneered by her family. Married at 20, she led a di-
versified life, as farm wife, service wife and mother
of three. In the vanguard of women turning to pro-
fessional life as her family grew, she became a
teacher in Manitoba , later in Ghana, West Africa. In
Africa, her approach to life led her into many adven-
tures. Returning to Canada, she acquired a B.A.
from the University of Toronto and taught in Ontario.
Looking for further challenges, she nurtured the ca-
reer of Benny Hinn, then took up a career as Office
Manager for the medical practice of Dr. Carmen
Price in Pickering. Many of his patients regretted
her retirement at the age of 81. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be sent to the charity of your choice
in Marion's name.
HELENA (LENY) KOK
In loving memory of a dear mother and
grandmother who passed away on
June 23, 2004
We often lay awake at night,
While all the world's asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
The many years we had with you,
Are worth their weight in gold,
And times we shared together.
Are always ours to hold.
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our life,
Until we meet again.
Always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts
Daughter Helen (Steven),

Marion was born in Hamiota, Manitoba in 1914. She
grew up in the community of McConnell, pioneered
by her family. Married at 20, she led a diversified life,
as farm wife, service wife and mother of three. In the
vanguard of women turning to professional life as
her family grew, she became a teacher in Manitoba ,
later in Ghana, West Africa. In Africa, her approach
to life led her into many adventures. Returning to
Canada, she acquired a B.A. from the University of
Toronto and taught in Ontario. Looking for further
challenges, she nurtured the career of Benny Hinn,
then took up a career as Office Manager for the
medical practice of Dr. Carmen Price in Pickering.
Many of his patients regretted her retirement at the
age of 81. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent
to the charity of your choice in Marion’s name.
