The Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge MPP has joined the provincial committee on democratic re- newal. “I’ve always had an interest in the democratic-related process,” he said, adding he’d previously introduced a resolution in the legislature about democratic re- newal. Mr. Arthurs said the issue is important because in the current system some voices get left out. “In part because of the dis- parity in representation both on the side of gender with the lack of women, and the demograph- ics of the province have changed and the legislature doesn’t reflect that,” he said. The all-party committee is comprised of six Liberals, two Conservatives and one New Democrat. Over the next few months they will look at alter- native electoral systems, namely those countries that use some Pickering MPP examines voting options First phase of r estoration finished at Pickering Museum Village By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — The first stage in Pickering Museum Village’s more than $1 million renovation project is almost complete. Dave Marlowe said they should be able to get into the Redman House Program Centre next week. Mr. Marlowe is the educa- tion and collections officer at the museum. He was speaking as the media was given a preview of the building Aug. 10. “We’re excited about getting into it,” he said. The project is part of the Brougham Central Hotel restora- tion. Five years ago it was identi- fied as the next major restoration project for the museum and the Pickering Museum Village Foun- dation. “There was an immediate need to do something with the hotel and keep it as a hotel, not to lose the building,” said Steve Reyn- olds, division head of culture and recreation with the City. As the museum’s operations centre, a building was needed to take its place. Fa ced with either building a new one or relocating a historic one to the site, the museum was able to get the Redman House from the Province (it was on land designated for the Hwy. 407 ex- tension). Its relocation and renovation included an addition, a base- ment, and making the two main rooms into one large one. “It’s certainly giving us a lot of Bring A Lawn Chair Sundays in August City Hall, Gazebo @ 2 pm Outdoor - Free Concert cityofpickering.com/greatevents ® • S A L E S • S E R V I C E • L E A S I N G • R E N T A L S • B O D Y S H O P 5 0 3 K in g s to n R d ., P ic k e rin g w w w .p v w .c o m (9 0 5 ) 4 2 0 -9 7 0 0 P I C K E R I N G V O L K S W A G E N I N C .

The Durham Region health de- partment on Thursday reported that a crow picked up in Ajax on Aug. 9, in addition to birds found recently in Oshawa and Whitby, tested positive for the virus. Crows, one each in Oshawa and Whitby, collected earlier this month also carried the potential- ly-harmful disease. No human WNV cases have been reported in Durham Region so far this year. And Dr. Donna Reynolds, the Region’s associate medical officer of health, wants to keep it that way. In a press release she advised residents to remain vigilant in avoiding bites from the insects. “The ad- dition of two more positive birds from Os- hawa and Whitby, and the new positive from Ajax, speaks to the widespread nature of West Nile virus in the community,” she said. “This helps to reinforce the im- portance for all Durham Region residents to take precautions to protect against mosquito bites.” According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, 969 dead birds in Ontario have been sent for test- ing this year as of Wednesday. One hundred and thirty-three are confirmed or presumed positive for WNV.

Three more West Nile-positive birds, one in Ajax Donna Reynolds form of proportional representation. British Columbia, New Zealand, Austra- lia, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland were included on a possible travel list of jurisdic- tions to study, but Mr. Arthurs said that list will be shortened. “I’m not sure we’ll be travelling and if so it would be a lot more limited,” he said. New Zealand, Australia and Germany have already been crossed off as potential destinations. B.C. held a referendum on adopting a sys- tem of proportional representation during its May election. Although the system was narrowly defeated, Mr. Arthurs said they can learn from the experience there. “Our system is simple, straightforward and all those things, but the province of Ontario isn’t the province it was a 150 years ago,” he said. Mr. Arthurs pointed to the example of the Green Party, which has been gaining sup- port over the years, but even with five per cent of the popular vote the “likelihood of them gaining any direct representation in the legislature is slim. “Do you accommodate that interest and if so how?” he asked. “There is an obligation to explore, to reach out to as many people as possible.” Based on voting history in Ontario, chang- ing to some form of proportional represen- tation would hurt parties such as the Liber- als and Conservatives, which routinely get elected with a majority government without the majority of votes. “We all firmly believe what is important is the opportunity to be representative, not whether or not it would hurt the party in power,” Mr. Arthurs said. The committee’s report is due by Nov. 3. Following the report, a citizens’ assembly made up of randomly selected individuals from the voters list is going to examine the issue; it is then to be put to the Ontario vot- ers. “We would see a referendum on the issue at the next provincial election... any ap- plicable changes wouldn’t take place until 2011,” Mr. Arthurs said.

It includes a meeting space for work- shops or volunteer training and a new, full-service kitchen. “You have to see the looks on the faces of the volunteers who are going to be in here, they’re so excited,” he said. The museum has about 150 volunteers. Another feature they’re excited about is that the new program centre has both heating and air conditioning, which means it can be used year-round. The Redmen project is expected to cost $800,000 with the foundation contributing $250,000 and the City funding the rest; the City is then going to contribute $250,000 to the hotel restoration and the Foundation will fundraise for the rest. That project is expected to take two years and a final cost has not been determined. “We want to get it started ASAP,” said Pat Dunnill, chairman of the Foundation, adding first a study needs to be done to see what work is needed. Brougham Central Hotel in the 1850s operated as a temperance hotel for a few years at Brock and Hwy. 7 but due to com- petition from the other two hotels, it went back to a full-service hotel, which it oper- ated as until the 1870s. Later it became a general store, which it remained until the 1960s; it came to the museum in 1979. “Quite a bit of Pickering history is wrapped around it,” Mr. Marlowe said.

Pierre Charlebois, chief nuclear officer for Ontario Power Generation, says after a reac- tor has been drained of fuel and heavy water, powering it up again would probably be out of the question. Once the fuel and heavy water are re- moved, there would be “no protection on the piping and so on, so to imagine you could leave the plant in that state for much longer, then to change your mind, it would require a substantial investment,” Mr. Char- lebois states. “I can’t say it can’t be done, but I don’t know of anyone who has done it on this grand scale. Units 2 and 3, our intention is not to provide protection like that.” Last week, OPG announced it wouldn’t refurbish Units 2 and 3, citing the $2-billion price tag and the short time, about seven to 10 years, the two reactors would operate before having to be shutdown for good. Decommissioning a reactor has been done before, including Douglas Point in the mid- 1980s. Mr. Charlebois says the unit “was put in safe storage and is still in safe storage.” Before the mothballing is started, OPG wants to get Unit 1 back into service, he says. Unit 1 was the second of two ‘A’ side reac- tors to be refurbished. Unit 4 was brought back into service in 2003. Mr. Charlebois notes, “The planning and all the technical work (for Units 2 and 3) will be done simultaneously. The execution will be done one after the other,” adding a deci- sion hasn’t been made on which unit will be done first. Staff will then be transferred “as the work- load permits, to looking at Units 2 and 3 de- fuelling and de-watering activities. So I ex- pect through September to start to put some resources on this work to plan ahead and the actual execution itself, the de-fuelling, isn’t likely to start before 2006.” Units 2 and 3 were placed in a laid-up state in December 1997, with the fuel and heavy water left inside. “The first step is to refurbish the fuelling machines that haven’t operated for seven years, so we have to make sure it’s in good working order,” he says. “Then we have to make sure we have sufficient storage in the fuel storage bays in order to accommodate the de-fuelling. “Then we’ll begin the de-fuelling. That by itself, is a fairly lengthy process. It will proba- bly take three to five months,” Mr. Charlebois notes. “After which, then we isolate the units from the contamination system and remove the water and put the water into storage tanks for use elsewhere. Heavy water obviously has value.” Once the water is out and the units iso- lated, “basically we have to de-energize many of the systems and just maintain essentially heating and fire protection and provide se- curity surveillance and the plant stays in self- storage mode for up to 25 years.” He notes, “The forecast at the present time is about two years and my expectation is we could probably improve on that once we get into the details. At this time, it probably looks like a two-year project.” How to mothball a reactor Get all the scores and more at sportsdurhamregion.com Durham group meets each month By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Beth Jacobs felt like her world had shat- tered when she found out she had rheumatoid arthri- tis. The Ajax resident was diagnosed with the inflam- matory disease after she awoke with pain so great in her hands and wrists, she couldn’t change her baby’s diaper. “You might as well have taken a knife and stabbed me,” said Ms. Jacobs. She watched her mother suffer with rheumatoid arthritis in her 50s, and at age 32, Ms. Jacobs was diagnosed. “I can’t even play frisbee, I’ve never pushed my daugh- ter in a swing,” said Ms. Ja- cobs, describing the pain she experiences. Just knowing someone is out there who understands the pain can be comforting, she said, and the Rheuma- toid Arthritis Support Group helps. Ms. Jacobs is co-chair- woman of the support group and chairwoman of the Arthritis Society’s Oshawa Chapter. The support group began in April and is open to every- one in Durham. It meets the last Thursday of every month from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Kins- men Heritage Centre, 120 Roberson Dr. in Ajax. Its next meeting is Aug. 25. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that affects the joints. Inflamma- tion occurs because the body thinks something is wrong with the joints and tries to heal it, but it’s fighting some- thing that isn’t there, said Ms. Jacobs. “You feel like your joints are actually moving,” she said. “It never goes away.” She said the constant fluid can act like a razor blade and eventually snap tendons, which happened to her in 2002 when she transferred a note pad from hand to hand. “And I wasn’t even aware that was possible, that was new to me,” she said. Al- though she had surgery on the snapped tendon running from her middle finger to wrist, her hand’s ability has been reduced by 30 per cent. Soon she’ll undergo surgery on the other hand to prevent the same thing from hap- pening. She’s had rheumatoid ar- thritis for 11 years and only recently found medication that works for her. It costs about $600 a month, but doesn’t provide full relief. Better drugs are available, but without a drug plan, she can’t afford them. “I still continue doing what I have to do despite the disease,” she said. “I grin and bear the pain and move on.” She said she laughs a lot to release more endorphins to feel better and has learned to ask for help from her two teenage sons and 12-year- old daughter. Through the support group, members can share medical information, listen to guest speakers and make contacts. “A lot of it is just education and knowledge,” said Ms. Ja- cobs. “The more you know about the disease, the better you can cope with it.” Currently, the group has 17 to 20 members and each meeting attracts about 10 people. Membership is free. For more information, call the Arthritis Society at 905- 434-7221. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 19, 2005 PAGE 5 P LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL PAYDAY!

Local board has no complaints By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — While the To- ronto District School Board deals with complaints over its implementation of the Safe Schools Act, Durham is a dif- ferent matter altogether. Trustee Susan Shetler, the Durham District School Board’s vice-chairwoman, said she is not aware of any complaints made against the board for its implementation of the Safe Schools Act, which requires mandatory expul- sions for weapons, assault, drugs and other major of- fenses. Complaints have not been received at the board level either, said Wendy Parke, the Durham District School Board’s acting com- munications manager. The Durham Catholic District School Board said no officials were available to comment. “Our experience has been good,” said Trustee Shetler. “If there were any issues, I’m sure I’d be aware of them.” The Human Rights Com- mission recently launched complaints against the To- ronto District School Board and Ministry of Education, saying the act has an unbal- anced impact on racial and disabled students. Ms. Shetler said Durham parents have been happy with the Safe Schools Act, but pointed out Toronto has dif- ferent concerns. “The Toronto school board has a lot of issues,” she said. “Where they are, they have a lot of diversity issues... I’m not surprised if there was anything happening, it would be in the Toronto board be- cause of the diversity.” Although there have been complaints made from peo- ple at other boards, it’s un- known if the Human Rights Commission has received any for Durham. “The problem is when complaints are filed, they are confidential,” said Afroze Edwards, senior communica- tions officer. The commission discov- ered the complaints through consultation meetings held over the last few years. Is- sues brought up included ra- cial profiling and unfairness against those with disabilities and unable to control their behaviour. For Durham’s public board, exceptions are made for special-needs stu- dents who do not have the ability to control their actions. The board also has a ‘Return Ti cket Program,’ which gives expelled students an op- portunity to re-enter school and includes academic and counselling proponents. Ms. Shetler said safety has always been a top priority for the Durham board and fol- lowing the Safe Schools Act was a natural evolution. She added the board has a safe schools committee, which meets quarterly and audits and revises policies, among other functions. The Ministry of Education is holding public hearings across the province this fall about the act. School e xpulsion policy gets positive response P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 19, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reactor move good business decision A lot of questions arose with last week’s announcement that Ontario Power Generation has decided not to re- furbish and restart two nuclear reactors in Pickering that have been on the shelf for eight years now. Citing significant costs for a reactor lifespan of only seven to 10 years, OPG has decided Units 2 and 3 on the ‘A’ side of the plant will permanently be placed on the shelf. The fate of the two reactors has been up in the air ever since work began on Unit 1. At that time the Province reserved judgment on whether the units would some day work again. The refurbishing of Unit 4, which is now providing power to an estimated 500,000 homes, drew plenty of attention and criticism for the extensive cost overruns and failure to bring the project in on schedule. However, officials cited a number of factors that contributed to the problems. The main issue being it was the first of the units to be worked on so it was a new experience, so to speak. The fact Unit 1 is on budget and on time would seem to back up those arguments. Still at $1 billion, as is the case with Unit 1, refurbishing a reactor is a significant cost challenge. Which brings us back to the questions. The most significant of which is what does it mean for an already challenged power grid. The Province says we’ll be fine, despite this setback and the Liberals’ promise to phase out coal-fired plants. It points to commitments for nearly 9,000 megawatts of new generation. Pickering Councillor David Pickles is so concerned with the current capacity he’s wondering if the decision on Units 2 and 3 is right. He reasons the expertise is already in place to get the units up and running and offer relief. And finally, the future of nuclear power in general was brought into the mix by Greenpeace Canada, which is suggest- ing the decision was the “beginning of the end.” Ultimately OPG’s decision was the wisest and most prudent going forward. With a significant cost outlay for a relatively short return on investment, OPG is better focused working with the Province on new generation. It’s the type of business decision residents regularly call for on their tax dollars. Now the onus remains on the Province to ensure the new generation comes to pass. Take another look at Pickering airport To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering airport plan slow to take off,’ Aug. 5. I realize if it comes to pass, which I hope it doesn’t, it will mean more jobs, taxes for the city and lots of noise and pollu- tion, which I stress very highly will happen. Has the mayor and the heads of the city gone out to Pearson airport? Please do so and listen to the noise and look at the lovely grey and beige smoke in the sky. When I moved here in 1965, we could see blue sky and now the air and sky are as bad as Toronto and please don’t blame it all on the U.S. We keep taking all the farmland for building more homes and each home has at least one to four cars in the driveway, and with all the factories, we expect our air to be fit to breathe? Get real and now you want to pollute it more with an airport. A lot of people’s lives have been ruined because of giving up their land. Cancer rates are terrible so I don’t blame people for putting up a fight against the airport. I’m only one voice crying in the wilderness and I’m also a taxpayer and I also realize that I can’t sway the thinking of the politicians, but for what it’s worth, I do hope they sit down and take another look at the situation and erase the dollar signs from their eyes and minds before you decide the fate of we people in Pickering.

Durham-wide program less than a year from getting off the ground O ld habits die hard. When Toronto’s green bin com- posting program was piloted in Scarborough, the response was less than enthusiastic at first. Apple cores, carrot peelings, chicken bones, Kleenex and the like still found their way into the regular garbage stream. Residents, it seemed, resented having to do more work with their garbage. Or perhaps they couldn’t be bothered studying what can and can’t go into the green bin (it takes a bit of getting used to), even though the City of To- ronto spelled it out quite clearly. But, before long, Scarborough peo- ple embraced the green bin program and began diverting their waste, with participation rates well over 90 per cent. It’s amazing how much com- postable materials weigh. Stuff like cantaloupe seeds and peels, for ex- ample, with a high liquid content, are truly hefty. And when all that kind of stuff isn’t going into green garbage bags, regular garbage is greatly re- duced. Next summer, 130,000 Durham households will be catching up to Clar- ington, Scugog, Uxbridge, Brock and parts of Pickering, which already use the green bin. It pays to use it, since Durham’s trash is sent to Michigan landfills at present. When the green bin program is region-wide, residents will only be allowed to place two gar- bage bags at the curb. Miller Waste is constructing a new building at its Squires Beach Road facility to take the compostable material. Residents will receive a large green bin with a locking mechanism that goes out to the curb every week on garbage day and a smaller one. The latter will come with samples of the biodegradeable bag residents are to place in the small bin, fill with waste, tie up and drop into the larger box. Speaking from experience in Scar- borough, that approach will do much to mitigate the smell that comes from the green bin. For the uninitiated, it’s a damp, disgusting odour that can turn you off your dinner. See, in Scarborough, residents ei- ther dumped their kitchen waste di- rectly into the big bin, or placed a white garbage bag in the big bin. Ei- ther way, after a few days of dumping kitchen waste in there, it was wise to plug your nose when you were mak- ing future donations. The Region’s ap- proach, again, will help eliminate that smell and, hopefully, make people more susceptible to use the green bin. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday.

The 23-year-old Ajax resident is taking part in a nationwide fund- raiser for the Easter Seal Society that will see her rappel down the side of a To ronto building. It’s not the largest skyscraper in the big city, but at 16 storeys, it’s still quite a gut-tester for anybody who isn’t an expert in the sport. “I used to be a gymnast, so you’re not allowed to be afraid of heights,” Ms. McPhee quips. “They just said, ‘don’t look behind you’.” A Gymnastics Ontario staff mem- ber, she works in the building where the Ontario Easter Seal Society’s head office is located. When an inter- building note went out looking for volunteers to take part in Drop Zone, challenging people to ‘Be a Superhe- ro for a Day,’ Ms. McPhee answered the call. Rappelling events are taking place or have already occurred in other Canadian cities, and she says about 65 people will join her in the de- scent down 175 Bloor St. E. at Church Street. She has rappelled only once before, down a relatively modest two-storey building. She had a training night recently to get used to the equipment that will bring her safely from the roof to the street below. “They suggest you wear gloves be- cause during the one-storey (practice descent) you don’t get the heat off the rope,” Ms. McPhee says. The event goes rain or shine on Aug. 24. Participants were asked to raise a minimum of $1,500. Ms. McPhee figures she’ll have garnered around $1,000 by next week. She has an op- portunity to continue fundraising after the rappel. For more on the event, visit www. easterseals.org and click on the Drop Zone logo.

Durham event hits the trail Sept. 25 DURHAM — Walking is not only good for the heart, it’s a great way to raise funds and awareness. The Cheerios Mother Daughter Walk for Heart and Stroke is a nation- wide event, with 77 such walks being held in Canada on Sunday, Sept. 25. The only Durham location is in Ajax at Rotary Park on Lake Driveway West. Last year, more than $3 million was raised nationally, with $1.63 million in Ontario alone. The Heart and Stroke Founda- tion is the leading funds provider for research in Canada and all money raised is used to identify the root causes of heart disease and stroke in women. More women than men are now dying from heart disease and stroke, and these diseases are the leading cause of death in women in Canada. Check-in time is 8 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m. There are two-, four-, and six-kilo- metre walks. In addition to the walk, there will be clowns, face-painting, a live band, food, prizes, and a family look-a-like contest. It’s free to register, although par- ticipants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $20 in pledges. Registration can be done online, until Sept. 23, at www.heartandstroke. ca/walk or by phone at 1-888-HSF- INFO. It can also be done locally by call- ing the foundation office at 905-666- 3777.

Wa rranty Pickering men among nine from region By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — When the Sea to Sea cycling tour rolled through Durham Tuesday, it was a bit of a homecoming for nine Dur- ham residents, who are tak- ing part in a cross-Canada tour celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Christian Reformed Church in this country. Durham participants include Peter Faber and George Vander Kuur of Pickering; Peter Rienstra of Whitby; Andy Heimstra of Port Perry; Jim Hoogsteen, Marja Slofstra, and John Vanderheyden of Courtice; and Greg Mosterd and Sonia Vanderby of Bowmanville. The ride began June 25 in British Columbia, and is slated to end Sept. 3 in Halifax. Riders range in age from 18 to 74. Mr. Vanderheyden, for example, celebrates his 60th birthday this week, while on tour. The Oshawa Zion Christian Reformed Church member wasn’t a cyclist be- fore signing up for the tour. His training began Jan. 3 of this year. The trip, so far, hasn’t been easy, he said. “It’s tough, I’ll be honest,” he said. Mr. Vanderheyden’s wife met him at Manitoulin Is- land last week, as a surprise. She, their four children and nine grandchildren are “all rooting for me,” he said. Like Mr. Vanderheyden, Mr. Hoogsteen, of Hope Fellowship in Courtice is relatively new to cycling. He took up the sport about a year and a half ago, when he first learned of the Sea to Sea tour. “I thought it would be an exciting thing to do, celebrating the 100th anni- versary of our church (in Canada),” said the 47-year- old GM worker, who is using a combination of vacation time and leave of absence to complete the tour. Two of Mr. Hoogsteen’s five children met him at Manitoulin Island, and, along with his parents, they will follow the cyclists in a motor home for part of the tour. He got an opportunity to see his wife when she flew to Winnipeg when the tour reached that part of the country. So far, the tour has “met all my expectations,” he said. “It hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be ... We’ve had some hard days and we’ve had some excel- lent days.” One hard day for at least one rider was the day Sonia Va nderby fractured her elbow in a cycling crash while riding in the Prairies. The injury took the Mara- natha Christian Reformed Church member off the tour for a few days, but she was soon back cycling. The 25-year-old Uni- versity of Toronto student does a lot of cycling while at school, so felt fairly well- prepared for the trip. “It’s a lot easier than I ex- pected. As we go, we get stronger,” said Ms. Vander- by. “The day doesn’t seem nearly as long as we expect in the morning.” Likewise, Mr. Mosterd “e xpected it to be harder.” The trip fit well with his plans. “I was planning on going on a road trip across Can- ada,” said Mr. Mosterd, 19, who plays a variety of sports, including soccer. “This came up in my church and I decided to do it.” Riders were planning to stay over at Knox Christian School in Bowmanville Tuesday night, before riding on to Trenton Wednesday. Cyclists are aiming to raise $1.2 million to help develop Christian Reformed church- es in Canada.

Passive restraints aren’t required on school buses By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Kids have to buckle up in the family ve- hicle, but on the school bus, it’s a different situation. When kids go back to school in September, they won’t be required to wear seatbelts on Durham public and Catholic school board buses. “Our board concurs with provincial bodies that the design of school buses fo- cuses on student safety,” said David Visser, superin- tendant of business services for the Durham Catholic District School Board. He said the board’s buses have been involved in about 20 “fender bender” situa- tions per year over the last couple of years, most of which were the other driv- er’s fault. “A nd typically, student injury is very minimal,” said Mr. Visser. Although the concept of seatbelts on buses has some merit, their current design is for maximum safety, Mr. Visser said, “Buses travel hundreds of thousands of kilometres a day and for the most part, there are very little acci- dents,” he said. Durham Catholic District School Board buses travel 12,009 kilometres per day. Mr. Visser said 20 acci- dents per year is not “un- reasonable”, although the board would like there to be none. At the Durham District School Board, there’s be- tween 10 and 15 minor ac- cidents per year, said trans- portation manager Lynda Smith. She said there has been no major accidents she can remember. Ms. Smith said there have been studies that suggest seatbelts on buses can cause more harm than good. On a bus with belts, if some kids don’t buckle up, they’ll go forward and hit the back of the seat in front them, causing neck injuries to those wearing a seat- belt, said Ms. Smith. She added buses are currently designed so everyone goes forward to help prevent rid- ers from getting hit from be- hind. Because bigger bus com- panies rotate vehicles, those with seatbelts will turn up in Durham and when they do, their belts have to be ripped out or worn, said Ms. Smith. On buses with belts present, some younger kids unbuckle them and swing them around, hurting oth- ers, she added. According to the Canadi- an Safety Council, there has been less than one fatality inside a school bus per year over the last 10 years. Safety without seatbelts durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 19, 2005 PAGE 13 A/P As a mortgage consultant I can’t tell you how often the need to prove a person’s income to a financial institution for a mortgage becomes an issue. Showing a person’s income, depending on their profession can be difficult. For example, the self employed, those who work part time, people who receive sporadic spousal & child support payments, foster parents, etc. This could possibly prevent a mortgage being funded when in reality, alternative mortgage options exist. The public often assume that they will not qualify for mortgage financing. There are however, options to fund a mortgage without having to prove to the bank what your income is. I will start by briefly telling of an unfortunate story I recently stumbled across. I was having a conversation with a woman I recently met. She had been newly divorced and when hearing what my occupation was she told me she had a home last year but had to sell. I asked her why? She told me that her and her husband had separated & that her bank would not put her on title by herself because her income alone could not carry the debt. So they were forced to sell. I was told that her house sold for $230,000, with a mortgage of only $160,000. She was to buy out her husband for $20,000, & go on title herself. She would have needed $180,000 financing against a $230,000 property. That would leave approx. 22% equity in the property. In mortgage terms translating to 78% LTV (loan to value). Financing could be available up to 90% of the homes value without proving income (OAC). I felt terrible for her. I told her that she did not have to sell her house. If this situation had been brought to my attention, I would have had mortgage financing for her through an equity lender with a very competitive rate, no need to prove what her income was & not having to provide a paystub, tax statements, job letter etc. She was mortified. She realized she could still be in that lovely home. This type of mortgage is not only for people with perfect credit. People with past credit issues may also be approved. This does not only apply to people who are separating but also for purchases and debt consolidations. If you are carrying a heavy debt load, a consolidation could save hundreds per month and could even save your home. For example, $20,000 of debt carries for approximately $600.00 per month, whereas a mortgage of $20,000 carries for approx. $130.00 per month. Although it might cost money to break an existing mortgage, consolidating could save thousands & could prevent many sleepless nights. The key here is that if income or credit are issues, there are still options that most people do not know exist. If you would like to discuss your mortgage financing options, I would be happy to discuss options that are available to you. Are You A Homeowner With Cash Flow Problems?

U.S. DEBT TOPS SEVEN TRILLION GOLD MARKET EXPLODES Being at war with terrorists for over three years and the war to liberate Iraq continues to cost taxpayers countless dollars. Add to the equation 7.7 million unemployed Americans, rampant corporate fraud, out of control govern- ment spending, the inability to balance the budget and you have an insurmountable debt that tops $7.6 trillion that continues to grow each and every minute. It is now harder than ever to obtain and maintain financial security. There is, however, good news in all of this. The Gold Market has outperformed the S&P 500 for the past five years. In addi- tion, the performance of CD’s and savings accounts can’t even come close to the gains that Gold has made. This is why now is the time to move paper assets into Gold. Catastrophic debt and floundering economies have proven to be the perfect breeding ground that sends Gold through the roof. With prices holding steady (for now) in the $400 per ounce range, it is crucial that individuals move now because as soon as tomorrow, Gold could start its predicted steep rise from $400 to $1,500 per ounce. Do not be left behind while others profit from this market.Act now so you don’t have any regrets later. GOLD IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN MONEY IN THE BANK If you had $50,000 in the bank and you transferred it into Gold at today’s prices, you would now have an opportuni- ty to gain as much as 5 times its value. That’s right, a quarter of a million dollars. On the other hand, if you leave that same $50,000 in the bank for 10 years, chances are, it’s only going to be worth the same $50,000. Unfortunate…but true. You must understand that when you convert money to Gold, you haven’t spent your money but have transferred its value from a declining paper cur- rency, to a precious metal that is rising in both market and numismatic value. This is how the genius of owning Gold absolutely protects your money in today’s very volatile market. A market where you can lose everything at any minute. Thousands of individuals have lost their entire fortunes overnight. Don’t let it happen to you. The Gold Market is currently very explosive, with predictions of its price rising from $400 an ounce to $1,500 an ounce, now is a great time to get in. Smart collectors are cur- rently moving 10-20% of their assets into Gold. It’s a great motivator for $50,000 to be worth $250,000 instead of just $50,000! GOLD TOPS $400 per oz. – MARKET PRIMED TO EXPLODE! Gold sets blistering pace towards predicted $1,500 per oz.

PRICES MAY VARY DUE TO EXCHANGE RATE Trusting your financial future to the stock market’s perform- ance has been a bad situation for over 5 years. In fact, the above graph clearly shows that not only the DOW, but the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are all down from January 2000. Gold, on the other hand, is up 46% since January 2000. Let’s put this into perspective.If you had purchased $50,000 worth of Gold in January 2000, that same gold would be worth $73,000 today – a profit of $23,000. Most stocks cannot even come close to that gain. The Gold Market is on the move and is showing strong signs of moving higher. Many experts can offer excellent insight into the future price trends of Gold,but no one, including The United States Rare Coin and Bullion Reserve, can guarantee if a Gold Coin’s future value will go up or down. Do not wait to move your hard earned money into Gold. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 19, 2005 PAGE 15 A/P Bennix Home Furnishing 5x40 OSHWith a little bit of creativity, hard work and lots of patience, you can tile your tub surround. Even if you have no experience working with tile, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. Be prepared to live without a working shower or tub for a few days though while the project is completed. As someone who enjoys tackling home projects, you are probably already familiar with the obstacles of do-it-yourself projects; often they take longer than anticipated and are fraught with unexpected twists and turns. This project may be no different, but as long as you have the patience and persistence to fi nish the project, you can have a new bathroom at a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional. To start, you will have to remove any existing tiles or tub surround. First remove the bath fi xtures and then remove the grout from around one tile near the top. With a hammer and chisel, pop off the tiles, working down the wall. For wallpaper, spray thoroughly with wallpaper remover and remove the paper with a putty knife. Your local wallpaper or home improvement store can recommend the best releasing product. If the walls are painted, scrape off any loose paint and lightly sand the walls so the new tiles will better adhere. Once this is completed, measure the space to be tiled. These dimensions will be necessary to approximate the surface area and how many tiles you may need. To compute this number, multiply the length of the space by the width of the space, then subtract any dead space. When estimating the number of tiles to purchase, fi gure an extra 10 per cent for breakage and mistakes. Standard tile comes in many shapes and sizes, so the number of tiles you will need depends on which style of tile you ultimately choose. When purchasing tile, visit several tile showrooms to get the best selection and a comparison on costs. Purchase your tiles from a supplier who is eager to answer your questions and knowledgeable about the different types of tile and who will rent tools. Most home improvement stores carry a selection of the most common tiles. Take some tile samples home with you and place them in a layout where they will be used. Play with the design until you are satisfi ed. Choosing the right tiles can be an overwhelming decision. There are literally hundreds of different styles and colours to choose from, including custom-designed tiles. When choosing a design, consider a contrasting colour scheme to create interest. For example, in a bath where blue is the predominant colour, red tiles would really stand out; green tiles would attract attention in a bath with yellow walls. A contrasting border can be created by setting tiles of a different size, colour, pattern, texture or shape around the perimeter of the area. For example, in a white tiled tub surround, create a border by alternating black and white tiles for a checkerboard effect. Add a decorative touch by placing themed tiles throughout the area. Accent tiles can be found for just about any subject matter from the most common (seashells and fl owers) to the most unusual (horses, Indians or angels). Place an accent tile periodically throughout a solid background or plan for it in your border design. Purchase a good book on installing tile. A step-by-step guide will answer many of your questions as the installation progresses. They usually include chapters on making a layout, preparing the surface for tile, tools you’ll need, grouting, sealing and perhaps a trouble-shooting guide. Yo u might be wondering if it is really cost effective to do a tiling job like this yourself. To do the job right, you will need to purchase not only the tile but the following tools and materials: mastic (the powder type which you mix with water has the best adhesive strength), a trowel for spreading the mastic, a rod saw for cutting curves, a tungsten tipped drill bit (optional), grout, a fl oat to spread the grout, sealant, caulking and a tile cutter if you can’t rent one. Since I recently attempted, and successfully completed this project in my own bath, I can tell you exactly how much it cost me. Materials, including the purchase of a tile cutter, were $50. The tile costs came to $110 for medium- quality ceramic tile in a standard-sized tub surround (mine had a window in one wall). I supplied the labor, so the total cost of the project was $160. Your costs may be higher depending on the condition of the bath, tile selected, etc., but do the math and I think you’ll fi nd it very cost effective to do the work yourself. I had never tiled a tub surround before and having done so now, I am certainly no expert. But I believe we each have the capacity to learn new skills, the duty to challenge ourselves occasionally and the responsibility to share our knowledge and experiences with others. So I say, “Go for it!” T iling 101 By Doris A.

The home décor team at Canadian Tire offers the following painting tips for those with decorating projects on the horizon. Before buying paint colours, test an area of the room to see if it will create the look you are trying to achieve. Choose a paint line, such as the Debbie Travis Paint Collection; available exclusively at Canadian Tire, that comes with Practice Pots. This will allow you to buy a small amount of the colour you like and try it on the wall at home so you can Painting tips get a sense of the colour and texture in your space. Once you have chosen your paint, prepare the area by covering items that you can’t move, such as fi xed carpet and kitchen cabinets with drop sheets. Remove everything you can from the room, including furniture, electronics and light fi xtures. Repair underlying material and sand any areas where paint is loose. Fix any damaged areas of the wall or holes with plaster and caulking. Sand the entire surface lightly and fi nish preparing by cleaning off the sanding dust. Painters’ tape is a great way to protect those areas you don’t want painted, including around trim, in corners and on the ceiling. Now you are ready to get started! Using a roller, begin by painting an ‘m’ shape on the wall. Run over the same area several times to get complete coverage. Clean your brushes as soon as you are fi nished using them. Remove excess paint by running the brush over newspaper or using a scraper on the bristles. For water-based paint, wash your brush with warm water and detergent, and if necessary, use a scraper to remove dry paint. If you used oil paint, rinse brushes and rollers in a little bit of paint thinner. Be sure to shake out the excess thinner when they are clean. - News Canada Mattress SetsMattress Sets Single from $159 Double from $199 Queen from $259 CASH & CARRY BACK TOBACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALSSCHOOL SPECIALS www.factorymattress.com Pillow Tops Futon & Futon Covers Memory Foam Mattresses Upholstered Headboards Special Sizes Available Fabric Remnants COMPLETE FUTON SET FROM $179 1650 Bayly St., Pickering HOURS: Mon. - Wed. 10am-6pm Thurs. - Fri. 10am-9pm Saturday 10:30am-6pm Sunday 12pm-4pm Open Sunday from September to end of May HWY #401 1650 BAYLY ST.LIVERPOOL RD.BROCK RD.N E S W (905) 837-0288 1-888-220-2282 www.factorymattress.com rrs TM Come Home to Amish Furniture Values.

Rated: R Andy Stitzer is 40 and has done quite a few things in his life. He’s got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books. He also has good friends and a nice attitude. But there’s just one little thing he hasn’t made time for yet, something most people have done by his age. Andy’s never, ever had sex. So is that such a big deal? Well, for Andy’s buds at the store, it sure is. So they set out to change his life. Also opening in select theatres this weekend are ‘Red Eye’ and ‘Valiant’. Herongate brings popular story of a housewife’s tale to the stage WHITEVALE — Shirley Valen- tine is coming to Whitevale to tell her story of a life transformed. Herongate Barn Theatre pres- ents Margaret St. John-Francies in a play the show’s producers say seems to have been written for her to perform. St. John-Francies plays the role of a disillusioned house- wife who flees the suburbs of Lon- don for a new life. Performed in a monologue style, the famous play is about a housewife before and after a transforming holiday in Greece. She’s a middle-aged Liv- erpool housewife, who finds her- self talking to the wall while she prepares her husband’s breakfast, wondering what happened to her life. She compares scenes in her cur- rent life with what she used to be like and feels she’s stagnated and in a rut. But when her best friend wins an all-expenses-paid vaca- tion to Greece for two, she leaves the drudgery of cooking dinner for her husband, packs her bags and heads for the sun. The note on the kitchen table reads “Gone to Greece back in two weeks.” The play is written by Willy Rus- sell and Herongate co-owner Steve Graham says the playwright “is just a fantastic writer. “He gets right inside a person’s feelings. It’s a very poignant story.” However, what makes Her- ongate’s production special, he says, is that St. John-Francies fits the bill for the title role to a tee. “She’s just a great actress and she seems really close to this role,” Graham explains. St. John-Francies was raised in London and performed in the the- atre there before moving to Cana- da, so she really sounds the part as well. Her husband Paul Francies is the stage manager for the show, so it’s a team atmosphere. Directing is Ann Ward, Graham’s husband and fellow co-owner. Aside from the people in the production, Graham points to the functional set as a unique attrac- tion. “Margaret actually cooks break- fast during a scene,” he says. The show runs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Aug. 19 to Sept. 10. Dinner begins at 6:30 and the show at 8 p.m. There are also matinee shows Aug. 21, 24, 28 and 31 and Sept. 7, all beginning at noon. Tickets start at $45. Herongate is at 2885 Altona Rd. and reservations are required.

Metal and nature meld in artist’s f irst-ever show Lishman opens Ajax home for sculpture art exhibition AJAX — Geordie Lishman’s coming out party is this weekend and everyone’s invited. The Ajax metal works artist is opening his family’s 160-year-old farmhouse property to the com- munity for the first public showing of his work. Son of well-known environmen- talist and artist Bill Lishman of Scugog, Geordie, 30, has learned his art from working with his fa- ther over the years and has led an interesting life so far. Having been a street performer of sorts, living as a street painter for several years, travelling in the U.S. and even Asia for a time, he’s now concentrating on his metal artwork. His metal sculptures are quite a sight and Lishman says he’s ex- cited to be opening his property for people to see his work. “It’s a montage of nature and metal,” he describes. “It’s beauti- fully shaped metal in natural set- tings.” The farmhouse is a special loca- tion for Lishman, where he lives, built by his great-great grandfa- ther in 1845 and in the family for generations since. He says there will be about 18 sculptures and several smaller works on display Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 8 p.m. The combination of his work with nature is an important aspect of the show and his work, he says. Several pieces take flight, a popu- lar theme of his art. “I’ve had a lot of birds in my life and I feel akin to them,” he explains. Some of the pieces he’s made in the past now are permanent fixtures of the Max Tanenbaum Sculpture Garden at Princess Mar- garet Hospital in Toronto and at the Halifax Environmental Cen- tre. Prior to concentrating on metal works, as a street painter he used various materials to create quick artwork for people. “I learned how to do it in Mex- ico,” he says. “They were of a fan- tastic fantasy landscape.” Lishman’s farm is at 709 West- ney Rd. N. in Ajax.

A virgin begins the search for love at 40 Steve Carell and Catherine Keener star in ‘The 40-year-old Virgin’. Band members originally from Ajax, Pickering AJAX — Tonight, North of 7 is venturing south of the highway that’s part of its name. North of 7 is a band made up of Brad Levere, lead gui- tar and vocals; Don Popert, drums; Karl Rigelhof, bass and vocals; and Paul Tones, guitar, keyboard and lead vocals. All are residents of Scugog Township and all are in their 40s, or about to be. Tonight, they will play the Wing Shack, 1368 Bayly St., in Ajax, just one of many gigs that keeps this group of musicians busy. They’ve got decades of ex- perience among them, both live and in studio. Based out of Port Perry, hence named because they’re north of Hwy. 7, the band members are originally from Picker- ing, Ajax and Scarborough. North of 7 plays every- thing from the Beatles to Nickelback and everything in between, said Tones. The everything includes dance music from the 80s, Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Moody Blues, Blue Rodeo, Pink Floyd and rock. There’s something for everyone, Tones said. “Our influences span every genre of the rock plat- form, really too many to mention,” he said. The musicians all played in various bands years ago but took breaks to raise fam- ilies. Then, Tones attended a Blue Rodeo show in To- ronto. “I was watching these guys and I said ‘Man, I just have to get back into this business.’ I thought, ‘I’m going to start up a band.’” He and Rigelhof, who knew each other in high school, ran into each other at the Pickering Town Cen- tre shortly after. “I thought, this is like an omen,” Tones said. They found two other musicians and North of 7, named by friends, was born. They play covers but they are also busy writing their own music. Tonight, they will debut The Letter. North of 7 can be found playing throughout Durham and York regions, Toronto, Aurora, Peterborough, Lind- say and Bancroft.

New are the Seguin Bruins, which will play in the league’s North Conference. The Seguin Bruins will use the vil- lage of Humphrey in Seguin To w nship, near Parry Sound, as its home base. Former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Rick Vaive is listed as the team’s director of player personnel. Meanwhile, the Toronto Thun- derbirds, formerly of Thornhill, will play out of the Westwood Arena in northwest Toronto. Like last season, the team is in the league’s South Conference with the Pickering Panthers and Ajax Axemen. And, finally, the Oswego Ad- mirals (the former Syracuse fran- chise) will play in the league’s East Conference. The team’s based in Oswego, New York and will play out of the Romney Field House at Oswego State Univer- sity. ••• A former Pickering Panther will hopefully be playing in the OHL in his own backyard this season. The Oshawa Generals an- nounced former Panthers left winger Phil McIlhone was ac- quired from the Sudbury Wolves in exchange for Oshawa’s eighth- round pick in the 2006 draft. McIlhone, 18, played 42 games with the Panthers last season, scoring 22 goals and adding 23 assists. He was a fifth-round pick of the Wolves in 2003. “I am very excited to have ac- quired Phil,” said Oshawa’s gen- eral manager Brad Selwood in a press release. “Adding Phil to the mix helps address our short- age of ‘87’ birthdates. As well, our scouts have watched him on numerous occasions and are very impressed with his skills.” ••• The Axemen are scheduled to take part in the OHA Junior Tour- nament at the Vaughan Sports Complex from Sept. 8 to 11. The Ajacians will play in a di- vision with the Oakville Blades, the Collingwood Blues and the CD (Capital District) Selects of upstate New York. Ajax opens the event against Oakville on Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. They’re next in action against the CD Selects on Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. and finish preliminary play on Sept. 10 against Colling- wood at 6 p.m. Three division winners and one wildcard team will move on to the playoffs on Sunday, Sept. 11. Twelve teams are taking part, including five U.S. squads. Axemen, Panthers part of Governors’ Showcase games Pickering Heat junior women national champs Blank three-time champs in gold-medal final in Ottawa PICKERING — A loose collec- tion of fastpitch players bonded together at precisely the right time to become national cham- pions in Ottawa recently. The Pickering Heat under-23 women’s fastpitch team rode a 14-game roller-coaster at the 2005 Canadian Junior Ladies’ Fa stpitch Championships in Kars, near Ottawa, culminat- ing in a national crown for the squad. The Heat unseated three- time national champion Bramp- ton Blazers 2-0 in the gold-medal game. Brampton had also won the Canadian title four of the past six years. Pickering Heat coach Hubie Basilio noted the rigours of the weeklong tournament only strengthened the Heat’s resolve to capture the national title. And, they’re confidence grew with every victory, after posting a win- ning 5-3 record in the qualifying round. “The whole team effort aspect was key,” noted Basilio, who coached the team, along with Bud Barlow and Ron Peacock. “The girls stayed together even though we played 14 ball games. We won the first four or five and, in the last three, the girls kept their heads up and worked through the playoff round. We had a tight bunch and it paid off in the long run.” Pitcher Krista Mueller was named the most valuable player of the championship round. She finished with a sterling record of seven wins and one loss, includ- ing a 4-0 record in the champion- ship round. Meanwhile, first baseman Hil- ary Peacock was named to the tournament’s all-star team at her position. She batted .410 for the tournament and supplied a flaw- less fielding average of 1.000 for the tournament. The journey toward a national title for the Pickering Heat began in late May as the players — many w ith a collegiate background in the U.S. — began a training regimen at Kinsmen Park each Monday night. After playing in several tournaments, the Pick- ering squad proceeded to the provincial championship where they finished second, enough to earn a berth at the nationals. “We only had a limited sched- ule of about 30 ball games, so the girls worked on their own before practises and they put it together when it came time to play,” noted Basilio. In the qualifying round at na- tionals, Pickering put together wins over the Regina Extreme (2-0), Sherwood Park Belles (2- 1), the PEI Panthers (9-1), the Saskatoon Phantoms (10-0) and the Manitoba Juniors (6-1). Their losses were to Quebec (4-1), the Brampton Blazers (3-0) and to the Scarborough Outlaws (1-0). The Heat also had to play a tiebreaker game to secure fourth place and a ‘double life’ in the championship round. Pickering defeated the Manitoba Termina- tors 2-0 to claim fourth spot. In the championship round, the Heat absorbed another loss to the Blazers by a 4-3 count, but bounced back to defeat Alberta 2-1, Quebec 3-2 and Scarborough 2-1 to set up the gold-medal final against Brampton. Basilio hopes that this year’s Canadian championship victory will be just the beginning for the Pickering Heat under-23 wom- en’s team. “We want to build a dynasty, not just a one-year thing,” says Basilio. The coach gave kudos to Ron Peacock who was instrumental in handling all the logistics sur- rounding the team. “The girls just worried about ball. He worried about everything, all the little items that can things difficult.” Other team members are Al- lyshia West, Jennifer Casement, Christie Barlow, Janie Koitsis, Melissa Mason, Sue Verbeem, Laura Hill, Christine Howden, Meredith Boxberger, Nicole Christopoulos, Chrissy Niro and Michelle Obront. The Pickering Heat junior women’s (under-23) fastpitch team captured the 2005 Canadian Junior Ladies’ Fastpitch Championships in Ottawa recently, unseating three-time defending champion Brampton Blazers in the gold-medal final. The team hopes to stay together in order to pursue another championship in 2006. 905 WHITBY CAMPUS 668-4211 1818 Hopkins Street 1-866-966-0626 SUDBURY NORTH BAY SAULT STE MARIE TIMMINS BARRIE OWEN SOUND OTTAWA PEMBROKE CORNWALL BELLEVILLE KINGSTON PETERBOROUGH OSHAWA/WHITBY SARNIA CHATHAM WINDSOR KITCHENER LONDON Manufacturing Based.
