Forged power of sale documents were used in 2001 to set in motion a series of deals that saw the house sold again in 2002, say Durham Re- gional Police fraud investigators. The transactions occurred with- out the knowledge of the 78-year- old homeowner, said Detective Jack Haze. The senior and other family members only became aware of the scam when a financial institution began inquiring about unpaid pay- ments on a mortgage taken out on the property. “She has been taking it very hard,” Det. Haze said of the victim. “Her home is her whole life.” Police allege that in 2001 one of the accused used a forged power of attorney document to convince a Toronto lawyer she was entitled to sell the house. The property was sold to a fictitious purchaser for whom a mortgage was acquired, and the woman pocketed more than $100,000, police said. In 2002 the two accused con- ducted another fraudulent transac- tion on the property, police allege. A strong housing market allowed the scammers to make an additional $30,000 on the second sale, Det. Haze said. Durham fraud investigators be- came involved in February and began looking into transactions in- volving the property, Det. Haze said. Two women were arrested follow- ing a lengthy probe. The victim remains in her home while the mess created by the scam is sorted out, Det. Haze said.

Whitby and Clarington transit, the Oshawa Transit Commission and the Ajax- Pickering Transit Authority host a Halloween Dance in support of Special Olympics Ontario -- Durham Region on Oct. 29. It is at St. Andrew’s Community Centre, 46 Ex- eter Rd. in Ajax, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets are $25 and in- clude a cold buffet, door and spot prizes and a best cos- tume prize. Specially carved pumpkins are available for a $5 donation to the Special Olympics. For tickets and in- formation, contact your local transit authority. Tr ansit scares up special fun PICKERING — Candles may be nice to look at, but they’re also dangerous. That’s the message Pickering Fire Services wants to get out dur- ing Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9 to 15. By hosting local activities and events, the department hopes to raise awareness of key fire safety issues -- especially those affect- ing the home -- including candle usage. “Many people don’t realize that they are at greater danger from fire at home than anywhere else,” says Inspector Steve Fowlds. “Fortu- nately, there are many things resi- dents can do to turn that around and make their homes safer.” Candles may look nice, but they’re a growing fire threat in our community as home fires caused by candles have risen steadily over the last decade, he said. “Use Can- dles with Care: When you go out, blow out!” is the theme for this year’s week. In addition to using candles safe- ly, Pickering residents are urged to ensure smoke alarms are installed on every level of the home and kept operational with monthly testing and annual battery replacement. They should be replaced after 10 years. Every household should also have a fire escape plan and prac- tice it twice a year. During the week, Pickering Fire Services will have a fire safety booth at the Pickering Town Centre Oct. 11 to 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and an open house is being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15 at Fire Hall No. 6, 1115 Finch Ave. at Dixie Road. As well, Pickering schools are participating in the World’s Largest School Fire Drill Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. The provincewide fire drill is being organized to increase public fire safety awareness and to encour- age children to practise home fire escape plans.

Dagg, Dental Surgeon PICKERING — Students across Durham will leave class together Wednesday for a fire drill some hope will be the world’s largest. For Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9 to 15, Durham District and Durham Catholic District school boards students are participating in a provincial fire drill, Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. “A regular fire drill, but it’s going to happen simultaneously,” said Mark Joel, a Durham District School Board superintendent. Mar y-Catherine Kelly, Dur- ham Catholic’s superintendant of education, said the drill is sup- posed to be the world’s largest. “Everybody is in sync to go,” said Ms. Kelly. She said the fire drill is one of six the board holds every year. Schools also have numerous displays and events planned throughout the week, which will likely include fire department smoke houses and stop, drop and roll programs, said Mr. Joel. Throughout the year, classrooms are visited by fire prevention of- ficers as well, he said. “Students are always impressed with the energy and information presented by the firefighters,” said Mr. Joel. He added students participate in family fire safety and receive information to bring home be- cause that’s where most inci- dents usually occur. “People die at home in fires,” said Mr. Joel. “I don’t think we’ve ever had someone die in a school fire.” Mr. Joel added schools are safe places and their fire plans get reviewed annually. The school board meets with fire depart- ments regularly about evacua- tion and fire plans. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 9, 2005 PAGE 3 P It’s one big school fire drill in Pickering and across Ontario Pickering handles week of education with care Fire safety tips DURHAM — A flickering flame to a raging inferno. In seconds, a burning candle can turn deadly. The following are tips from Ajax Fire and Emergency Services that can ensure safety with candles: • Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or go to bed. Almost half of all fires started by candles begin in the bedroom; • Keep candles at least one foot away from anything that can burn, such as curtains, blinds, wallpaper, or clothing; • Don’t place lit candles in windows or near doorways where drafts can bring combustibles into contact with the flame; • Keep candles away from flam- mable liquids; and • Use candle holders that are sturdy, won’t tip over easily, made of material that can’t burn and large enough to collect dripping wax. Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9 to 15 Martin Avery takes on writer’s role PICKERING — The Pickering Public Library and Martin Avery believe they’ve made the write match. Mr. Avery, a new resident to Pickering, is the library’s new writer-in-residence. He approached library officials to volun- teer. “We’re really happy to have him here,” said Cathy Grant, director of service planning and development with the li- brary. There hasn’t been anyone in that position for at least 15 years. As part of his duties, Mr. Avery is going to develop a number of free workshops to promote writing in the community. He comes to Pickering after serving as writer-in-residence at the Bracebridge Public Library last year. His first project is to plan a novel marathon in February; he created similar events in Owen Sound and Muskoka. “I’d love to get a reading series going too,” he said. Mr. Avery organized a writing work- shop for the Pickering Public Library last year and said he was impressed with the library, so that’s why he offered his services. “I had a great time and there was a fabulous turnout,” he said. “I love the location.” Mr. Avery has taught creative writing for York University, Georgian College and the Writers’ Circle of Durham Re- gion. For two decades, he was a full-time teacher at Ontario secondary schools, teaching writers craft, English, and drama. For the past five years, he’s written a column on arts and education in Mus- koka Today. He has a new column in Focus On Muskoka and does freelance features and photography for Muskoka Magazine.

Haze said. “The family has hired a lawyer,” he said. “Already there has been some ex- pense; lord knows how much it will be in the long run.” The Pickering scam highlights the ease with which thieves can pull off mortgage fraud -- and the importance of buying title insurance, Det. Haze said. “This sort of stuff goes on all the time,” he said. “I’m sure we’ll see more of it.” Charged with fraud over $5,000, theft over $5,000 and causing a forged doc- ument to be uttered is Elaine Lucina To ussaint, 52, of Richmond Hill.

PICKERING — Aniceto Doria is excited about giving a voice to the victims of crime. The retired Toronto police ser- geant was recently appointed to the board of the Office for Vic- tims of Crime (OVC). “It’s a way to put my expertise to use and help out the victims,” said the Pickering resident (also known as Dino). “That’s what’s exciting, to give everybody a voice.” Through his 28 years in law enforcement, Mr. Doria learned there are a lot of cases where the victims are not heard. He said things have improved over the years, but it could be even bet- ter. “I’m excited about this and being able to provide more sup- port to victims,” he said. The OVC is an advisory com- mittee that looks at programs for victims. It includes representa- tives from across the province. “The exciting part about it is being able to serve your commu- nity and communities all across the province,” Mr. Doria said. So far the committee has had its initial meeting and orienta- tion. Mr. Doria was one of seven new board members appointed to three-year terms. Mr. Doria is currently a profes- sor at Centennial College Police Foundation in Scarborough. He is also a guest lecturer on ex- tremism and terrorism, and an expert witness in trials involving the psychology of hate-motivat- ed crimes. While with the Toronto Police Service, he worked in the train- ing and education-leadership development section, and is a former detective pioneer of the To ronto Police hate crime unit. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 9, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P INTERNATIONAL CLOTHIERS $9999$9999 EA $12999$12999 $14999$14999 Single And Double Breasted 100%WOOL GABARDINE SUITS Huge Selection of LEATHER JACKETS EA 3 PieceVested VENETIAN SUITS EA $17999$179 99 Top of the Line SUPER 100’s SUITS Available at Our Superstores only!

The report claims almost 40 per cent of teachers are bullied by students, based on the results of phone interviews with 1,200 teachers. Although the executive summary de- fines bullying as “persistent or repeated incidents of abuse, threats, insults or humiliation intended to hurt other in- dividuals physically, emotionally, psy- chologically or socially”, the tables turn when it actually explains the type of bullying teachers have felt. Of the bullied teachers, 82 per cent have experienced repeated class dis- ruptions or disrespectful behaviour, 41 per cent have had their things stolen or vandalized, 27 per cent have been threatened or physically assaulted more than once, 16 per cent have experienced persistent verbal abuse, 11 per cent have had repeated racial, sexual or religious slurs, and 10 per cent have been subject- ed to repeated attempts at intimidation. In talking with Durham education officials, it doesn’t sound like there’s much of a problem at all, other than the expected, but unacceptable rude and disruptive behaviour by students still learning to deal with their emotions. Although the odd severe occurrence was recognized, superintendents at the Dur- ham Catholic and public school boards said those are few and far between. Mike Pautler, a superintendent for the Durham Catholic District School Board, added part of a school’s responsibility is to help students form values and funda- mental respect. If that’s so, the majority of poor behaviour illustrated by some students should be expected as part of the job, which renders the report point- less. The poor-us portrait teacher unions continue to paint can’t be helping the image of members. It’s just ammunition for unions to bring to the next round of contract bargaining, because after all, if there’s no need for bargaining, there’s no need for the business of unions.

Crystal Crimi Staff Writer Survey makes teacher bullying problem sound worse than it is Give to the food drive on Thanksgiving Don’t forget needy in community could use a little help W e’ve heard an awful lot lately, and rightfully so, about giving to help the unfortunate victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. And before that, we heard about giving to rid Africa of poverty. Going back to the beginning of 2005, the issue was providing for tsunami relief for south Asia. All tremendous and heart-wrenching causes. But, amid all the suffering around the globe, there is plenty going on right here in Durham Region. Many adults and chil- dren go hungry each day. They are not starving in the way people are in poorest Africa, to be sure. However, in a country bursting at the seams with wealth, it is unacceptable that people in our midst do not have enough to eat. That’s where you come in. The annual Thanksgiving food drive, run by the Salvation Army in Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington and Ajax, is looking to raise 40,000 pounds of food this year. It started this past Friday and runs until Oct. 21. You can donate food to any fire hall in the four municipalities or to the Optimist Club of Oshawa. Many supermarkets across the region also provide bins where you can leave food. In Pickering, St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank is in the middle of its Thanksgiving Food Drive, which winds up Oct. 15. Your help, at a slow time of year, is appreciated. All it really requires is an extra jar of peanut butter, bag of pasta, or a can of vegetables, fruit, meat or fish which can be purchased while you shop and dropped in a bin when you leave. Easily done, it doesn’t cost you much, but it will mean an awful lot to the families in need in our communities. Volunteers work hard to make the food drive a success each year. But they can’t get very far without the effort put in by the people in the community who generously provide the food needed. It’s key to remember that the food does go to people who live in our community. And those who run the food bank ensure that it only goes to those in need. So, while you’re sitting down to your own Thanksgiving din- ner, remember that people you may see every day, are count- ing on you for a little help. Get out and don’t vote To the editor: Re: ‘The whys of voting not so easy,’ Paul Futhey column, Oct. 2. I enjoyed the column and realize it was somewhat tongue- in-cheek. However, there is another alternative. Namely, declining one’s vote. This is a method whereby dissatisfied or fed-up voters can register their feelings -- and it has to be registered by the re- turning officer. Imagine if all those voters who feel it doesn’t matter if they vote or not were to “decline” on election day. It might, I said might, make an impact on Parliamentarians, because their declined votes have to be counted. Unfortunately, the press (I suppose) never bothers to pub- lish the declined votes. Perhaps the returning officers don’t bother to make it known to the press, therefore I suspect that the majority of disgruntled voters do not know there is a way to show how they feel. Get out and don’t vote by declining your vote.

To the St. Paul’s on-the- hill Food Bank and its grow- ing number of clients, those ordinary food items would mean a lot as the food bank embarks on its fall food drive. “Our shelves are bare just like the Daily Bread Food Bank,” said Rae Coulter, the executive director. The food is just starting to come in but after a slow summer everything is need- ed. “It was very short and skinny this summer,” Ms. Coulter said. Despite a very successful drive last winter, they ran out of both peanut butter and cereal so they had to buy some to tide them over. The fall food drive runs until Oct. 15 with cereal topping the list, but canned meat, canned fruit and snacks for children are also in great demand. Ms. Coulter said they re- cently had a client whose daughter just started kin- dergarten. Her teacher sent home a note saying all the children had to bring in snacks for the entire class. He didn’t have the money to buy snacks, but he was able to get some at the food bank. “We gave extra snacks for him to send with his little girl,” Ms. Coulter said. Unfortunately, his story is not an anomaly. The num- ber of people who rely on the food bank continues to grow. “We’re getting more new clients,” Ms. Coulter said. “It seems to be people moving out to this area.” They now serve 725 fami- lies a month. It is the fall and winter food drives that sustain them. “It is our most important food drive, along with the winter one, it has to keep us through until summer,” Ms. Coulter said. “It is our driving force. If we don’t get it now, we won’t have it.” In Pickering, items can be dropped off at several grocery stores -- Sobeys, In- dependent, Price Chopper, Loblaws and Dominion -- as well as local fire halls. In Ajax, Sobeys and IGA have donations boxes. Ms. Coulter is asking peo- ple to think of the food bank when they go grocery shop- ping. “Even just one item helps,” she said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 9, 2005 PAGE 9 P (OMEOWNERSINSURANCECANBEYOUR -/346!,5!",% 0/33%33)/. 0#.3TATE&ARM&IREAND#ASUALTY#OMPANYs#ANADIAN(EAD/FlCE 3CARBOROUGH /NTARIO *ANE#AMERON)NS!GCY)NC *ANE4#AMERON +INGSTON2OAD7EST !JAX    +IMBERLEY&ROST)NS!GCY)NC +IMBERLEY!&ROST !,IVERPOOL2OAD 0ICKERING    3COTT!NDREWS)NS!GCY)NC 73COTT!NDREWS +INGSTON2OAD 0ICKERING    6IC/(EARN)NS!GCY,TD 6ICTOR$/(EARN 7ESTNEY2OAD3OUTH !JAX    0AUL7ILLIAMS)NS!GCY)NC 0AUL67ILLIAMS "ROCK2OAD3OUTH 0ICKERING    3040 Lakeview Blvd. South Ajax (905)686-51 50 garbos@sympatico.ca N O W O P E N Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

Whatever your goal, be it weight loss, prevention, symptom relief from a root cause, you have to know yourself from the inside out! Now it couldn’t be easier. With just a single pinprick of your finger to extract a drop of blood that is magnified 1500x under a microscope we can view it on a TV screen, to reveal factors about your health. This introspective look at your red and white blood cells reveals your unique health condition. Tr auma is a main cause of all illness and what are uncovered are the stressors relating to trauma. Examples of these stressors are chemicals, deficiencies of nutritional elements, lack of digestive integrity (proteins, fats and carbs), also signs of fungal and bacterial activity, and finally altered pH (resulting in acidosis of the tissues). Disease can only manifest in an acid environment. Your body functions best when the pH of most of its fluids is in range (6.5-7.0). Most of us unfortunately, are quite acidic and this affects our metabolism as pH changes the way our enzymes work for us. Weight loss is something that a lot of people would do anything to achieve. Even sacrifice their health! With this attitude your never ahead! By understanding how to balance your body, energy can be restored, pH can be balanced and metabolism can be improved. Remember, weight loss and health go hand in hand. Excessive weight is a symptom of many imbalances in your body, not only poor eating habits. The Live Cell Microscopy analysis is a way of revealing your true picture and is part of an excellent prevention program along with food sensitivity testing, cellular analysis, hair analysis, dietary planning etc. Have you registered for your five-step program to wellness? Thousands already have! Karen Steward provides the live-cell analysis in Pickering. For an appointment call 905-837-6627.

As it was, Luttmer finished 11th at the cham- pionships, a seven-day event that attracted 136 laser sailors rep- r esenting more than 36 nations. After three days of qualifi- ers, the fleet was divided into gold and silver fleets. Luttmer made the gold fleet where he climbed up the ranks from 26th to 11th. “Bernard had a great regatta,” said national team coach Tommy Wharton in a release. “He sailed conservatively throughout the event and kept himself in con- tention to place in the top eight overall.” Coming 11th in this regatta was a personal best for Bernard. “I was hoping for a top-10 fin- ish and missed it by just one point,” said Luttmer, also in a press release. “On the whole I was happy with my performance. I have set my goals higher now to win a medal at the Beijing 2008 world championships.” Winning the regatta was nine- time world champion Robert Scheidt, of Brazil, while Lutt- mer was the top Canadian. Mike Leigh, of Vancouver, finished 34th, Andrew Childs, of Halifax, was 50th, and Davis Wright, of To ronto, was 58th. Luttmer represented Canada in laser sailing at the 2004 Olym- pic Summer Games in Athens, with the Pickering native the only Canadian qualifier in the laser class. Ajax-Pickering squads earn lopsided wins DURHAM — The North York Grizzlies couldn’t bear the inten- sity brought to the field by the Ajax- Pickering Dolphins last Sunday. The Grizzlies were squished by the fish in all three Central Ontario Minor Football League games at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park, losing to the Dolphins’ tykes 63-0, the atoms 51-6 and the peewees 35-6. All three Ajax-Pickering teams travel to Newmarket to meet the York-Simcoe Young Bucs today (Oct. 16). In the tyke contest, Ajax-Pick- ering (4-2) took control from the opening kickoff, recovering the ball after it was bobbled by North York. In their offensive series, the Dolphins proceeded to run the ball into the end zone for the early lead. All told, the offence scored eight touchdowns in the game and converted three on kicks by Andre Wright. Quarterback Damien White completed his first touchdown pass of the season on a catch-and- run play to tight end Brad Staite. White also scored a touchdown on a quarterback off-tackle run. In the second half quarterback Rion Johnson took over the controls and completed his first touchdown pass of the season on a short pass to Brad Staite. Johnson also scored his first touchdown of the season on a quarterback sneak. Running backs James Solakis and Andre Wright rushed for more than 100 yards each and scored four touch- downs between them. The Dolphins’ offensive line of Courtenay Bolton, Chris Tzortz- ouklis, Tyler LeClair, Eric Miciky- an, Hasson Abbas, Griffen Palmer, Hayden McNamee, Austin Reed and Morgan Humes controlled the play. The Dolphins defence gave up only one first down. The defence also scored its first touchdown of the season on a fumble recovery by Staite, who took the ball 50 yards to the end zone. Paul Watkins, Conor McLeod, Cameron Taylor and Eli- jah Bowman all played at the top of their games. In the atom contest, the Grizzlies scored first on a long ‘Hail Mary’ pass. The Dolphins (4-2) answered with an end-around to slotback Denver Wright. The Dolphins of- fence was on fire and fullback Cole Tudor and Wright each scored touchdowns before the end of the quarter to put the Dolphins ahead 20–6. Running back Shaq Lawrence opened the second quarter with a touchdown. Quarterback Michael Stobbart ran in a touchdown on an option sweep, followed by another touchdown by Wright to end the first half at 43-6. Tudor used an off-tackle run to score in the fourth quarter. Wright and lineman Nathan Cheung were the offensive players of the game. After the Grizzlies touchdown, the Dolphins defence allowed three first downs. Leading the de- fence with three solo tackles each were Jaiden McBride, Connor Paterson, Darryl Lindsay, Nigel Stormes and Owen Eccleston. In- terceptions were added by Dustin Kaupp, Alex Horodnyk and Spens- er Stewart. Also contributing were Michael Belcastro, Kyle Wood, An- drew Faigal, Joseph Whitlock and Evan Smith. Meanwhile, the peewees record- ed their fifth consecutive win of the season. The Dolphins scored on their first offensive play as run- ning back Kyle Goffe scampered for an 80-yard touchdown behind the blocking of Andy Horodnyk, Jordan Nguyen and wide receiv- ers Stephen Sampson and Delino Smith. The Dolphins scored on their second possession when quar- terback Andrew Lim completed a one-yard plunge behind centre Ian To bias and guard Kyle Wasson. Running back Charlton Elliott scored on a 12-yard run for the Dolphins’ third touchdown. Place- kicker Derek Williams added to the lead with a 35-yard field goal. Tight end Horodnyk hooked up with Lim for a 50-yard pass-and-run score. The ‘Teal Curtain’ defence al- lowed an early first-quarter touch- down but then returned to form and repeatedly shut down the North York offence. Linebacker Shane Lock chipped in with an in- terception and defensive end Peter Iyamu controlled the line of scrim- mage, putting constant pressure on the North York quarterback. Horodnyk was the offensive game star. Special teams player of the game was Devin Elms and Lock and Iyamu were co-defensive players of the game.

You can call Safe Ride With Us and for a minimum of $15 plus GST you can get home with your car parked safely in your driveway. All you have to do is call toll free (and free at a pay phone) 1-866- 876-7180 or 905-448-8699. A driver will arrive to drive you home in your own car closely followed by a driver in a second vehicle to take your driv- er to his or her next call.

Sebastian D’Alessandro’s solid goalten- ding was key in the win. Next, the Panthers mauled the hometown Chatham Ma- roons 5-1. Oakley led the way with two goals, and Stuart Mackenzie, Jeremy Wu and Jamie Morrow added singles. Conely recorded two assists, Hall, Ryan Chiu, Jamie Mor- row, Derek Poirier, Machin and Dylan Pratt all chipped in with one. D’Alessandro earned the win.

The success of the country’s fastest growing weight loss company is found in its unique dietary programs, which help people lose weight and keep it off with herbal products and nutritional plans distinctively customized for each client. Just half-dozen years removed from the fi rst Herbal Magic clinic in west Durham, the company now has four locations in Ajax and Pickering, a testament to the support it has received from the commu- nity. That support now includes another nomination for an Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser Readers’ Choice Award. With so many clients experiencing dra- matic results with the Herbal Magic pro- gram, it’s no wonder the four Ajax and Pickering clinics have been nominated once again, though Katherine Mundy, Su- pervisor for the Pickering clinics, says it is no less thrilling in 2005. “I’m excited to be nominated once again for this award,” she said. “Herbal Magic is earning praise from our clients because our clients are seeing results and seeing them quickly.” Ta r a-Brie Nichols, the owner of the Ajax centres, echoed Ms. Mundy’s words “I want to thank the people of our com- munities for this honour. It is our clients who have nominated us, and that is the highest praise of all.” The real measure of success for Herbal Magic is found in the success stories of its clients. Herbal Magic has been ex- ceeding client expectations in Durham for nearly a decade, helping people lose weight and feel great. Whether you have a lot to lose or just a little, Herbal Magic has a program designed just for you. The fi rst step is to contact one of the four Herbal Magic locations closest to you and arrange for a one-on-one free consultation. Once you make the deci- sion to join Herbal Magic your success is only a matter of time. “It was the counsellors that made the difference,” said Sandy of Pickering. “They taught me proper eating habits and gave me tips on living a healthier lifestyle. And they’re right there whenever I need a boost.” “I was sure I couldn’t lose weight and had tried many other diets,” said Diane Millman of Ajax, “but because of Michelle and the great gals at Herbal Magic, with no pressure just great support and en- couragement, I am down 73 lbs. and 92 3⁄4” and still losing in eight months.” Thanks to your support, Herbal Magic keeps growing Ajax 1 Westney Rd.

Who could blame them? With a qualifi ed owner, fresh and delicious ingredients and qual- ity service, it’s no wonder Topper’s Pizza is one of the fastest growing franchises in Ontario. Owner Dan Bouffard has been fl ipping dough in the air for three years, but has been in the hospitality industry for 15 years. His impressive resume includes cre- ating cuisines in kitchens such as the Corel Centre in Ottawa, The House of Commons, The Senate and at the Prime Minister’s residence. Now he and his family call Ajax home and are pleased to invite you to bring one of their pizzas into your home. Founded 23 years ago, Topper’s Pizza is the perfect choice for families wanting to eat fresh, healthy meals. They use only fresh homemade dough, real mozzarella cheese tomato sauce made from vine-ripened to- matoes and fresh vegetables and meats Topper’s also offers whole-wheat crust and you can have your choice of ultra thin to thick crust. So the next time you crave pizza, come into to Topper’s. You won’t just crave pizza anymore. You’ll crave Topper’s Pizza. Visit the Ajax location at 145 Kingston Road East (across from Costco), or order your pizza today by calling 310-7171 or log on to www.toppers.ca.
