Health Council Investigating Proposals for Palliative Care The Durham Region District Health Council (DEC) has announced announced a call for proposals for palliative palliative care services.

Two volunteer hospice organizations, organizations, Hospice Durham and Uxbridge Uxbridge Port Perry Palliative Care, currently operate in the Durham Region. Region. The Oshawa General Hospital also offers a palliative care service for Durham residents. The scope of palliative care includes includes managing the pain and other symptoms that may be experienced by someone with a terminal illness, as well as providing emotional support support to individuals and their families. Non-profit organizations interested interested in applying for palliative care funding are invited to contact the DHC for further information.

If you have large trees for example, consider building around them instead of avoiding them altogether - or worse yet - removing them. It's a good idea to try and blend with your environment environment wherever possible. Also remember that with a deck, you're not limited to one level. You can incorporate varying heights and levels to accommodate different uses. For example, you could have a main deck area for entertaining and relaxing, relaxing, another, adjoining level for the kids to play on, and another for a hot tub.

If you're handling the job yourself, yourself, remember to check and sec if any building permits are required. Or, if you're hiring a contractor to do the job, make sure all the necessary permits permits are obtained. Materials If you're building a deck, do some research on the different materials materials available. Many homeowners opt for pressure treated wood because it's very affordable, durable and resists resists decay, Other materials like cedar, arc available as well. Consult with the, experts at your local building supply store, or your contractor, to help you 'decide on the material you want to use. You'll also have to decide if you need railings (a must if you have youngsters) and - depending on the height of your deck - stairs. If you're installing a patio, you have a wide variety of materials and patterns to choose from: brick, stone, field stone and pre-formed concrete squares are all popular options. Choose something that compliments your home and surrounding elements. For instance, if you have a home which is faced in stone, you may not want to use red, interlocking stone in your patio. You may want to opt for grey-colored stone instead. And don't forget to carefully consider consider pattern and texture if you're using using interlocking brick or stone. There is an endless variety to choose from. To get some help with design ideas, ideas, consult the appropriate experts - like a landscape architect. Also talk to neighbors, friends and relatives who have decks or patios to see what they have had done. With a little careful planning, you and your family will be able to spend more time in the great outdoors this summer on your new deck or patio. Even though unemployment is still bouncing off the 10 per cent mark, and the economy has only begun begun to recover, Canadians and their families are still picking up and moving moving around the country with surprising surprising regularity, according to a recent survey of moving giant Allied Van Lines and its agent corps. More than three-quarters of those who Allied moved were either married married or in a partner relationship, while only 11 percent were under the age of 25. A surprising 99 per cent of those reported on in the survey had chil- ' dren, with a clear majority over the age of six. Teens comprised nearly one quarter of all children moving with their parents. Not surprisingly, dogs, cats, birds and fish, in that order, were the most commonly moved pets, with the canines canines and kitties, enjoying a significant significant majority. Most of those who moved with Allied during the survey period, April 1993 - April 1994, reported moving into the same type of accommodation accommodation they were leaving, i.e., house to house, apartment to apartment. apartment. More than half stayed in the same province, with 44 per cent of the moves involving travel of less than 300 kilometers. The shortest move reported was five feet to an apartment across the hall, while the longest, a transfer to Bangkok, Thailand, was more than 15,000 kilometers. Other long distance distance movers travelled to Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the Canary Canary Islands. The average house move involved 7,958 pounds of personal goods. Condominium moves were second at 3,754 pounds. On average, it took three men 10 hours to handle each move. Nearly 80 per cent of all movers surveyed transported a stove, refrigerator, refrigerator, washer or drier, while only one third moved a dishwasher. More than 90 per cent shipped a television or stereo and, perhaps as a harbinger of the information highway coming to your town, almost 60 per cent took along a computer. The musicality of Canadians on the move was indicated by Allied and its agent network transporting a piano in 18 per cent of the jobs they handled. handled. The most popular period for moving moving was the summer when children are out of school, with 43 per cent of the events taking place between July and September. The second most popular period (28 per cent) was April to June, while the January to March period involved a very low 10 per cent of all reported moves. Homeowners (46 per cent) and em ployers (32 per cent) footed the bill for most of the moves reported. On an economic note, and clearly reflecting today's new realities, a whopping 59 per cent of all reported moves involved people who were going going to a new job. The good news is that a clear majority of movers are staying in Canada. Less than 10 per cent of the moves involved transport to the United States or another country- country- Even in this tight economy, Allied agents averaged more than 600 moves each during the year-long survey survey period. FIVE PERCENT DOWNPAYMENTS Good News Bulletin! You no longer have to be a first time home buyer to qualify for a 95% C.M.H.C. insured mortgage with a 5% downpayment. The Original First Home Loan Insurance programme restricted 95% financing to first time Home Buyers and to those who had not owned a principal residence at any time during the previous five years. C.M.H.C. will now ins.ure these high ratio mortgages for specific "hardship situations" such as marital breakups resulting in the sale of a principal residence OR relocation to geographic area due to an employment change OR loss of equity in the principal residence due to a fall in market values (provided that the net equity from the previous sale is invested in the new principal residence). This amended plan will be of great benefit to those buyers wishing to stay in the housing market but are unable to acquire a 10% downpayment. However, you must financially qualify for these mortgages just as before and the usual C.M.H.C. Fee will still apply. For more information, contact any C.M.H.C. - approved lender (banks, trust companies, credit unions etc.) Thinking of buying or selling soon? Please meet with me first.
