At this time of year, many people are thinking about selling their homes. If you plan on being part of the Spring market, or even the Fall, market, its a good time to start preparing for your move.

S T E P O N E - O R G A N I Z AT I O NThe first step involves organizing things into what you will be taking with you and what you wont. In some cases, the decisions will be easy. You want to move to a condo apartment, so you wont need a lawnmower or garden tools. Youre planning for fewer bedrooms or bathrooms, so you may have entire rooms of things you will no longer need.

Sometimes, the decisions arent easy so youd be well advised to leave yourself a lot of time for this step.

S T E P T WO - D I S B U R S I N G O F T H I N G SThe second step is to get rid of the things you arent planning to take on your move. (The side benefit of this is that, at the same time, you will be de-cluttering your home in preparation for any staging you may want to do before putting the home on the market.) You may want to gift some of the more valuable things, either to individuals or organizations that could use them. You will likely want to sell some things, which could mean a garage sale or a classified ad. You will be able to donate many things to various churches and charitable organizations. I will hazard a guess that you may have a few things that simply need to be thrown away - things you thought might come in handy, but never did.

The second step is an important one. You dont want to pay to pack and move things that you dont really need or want.

S T E P T H R E E - PA C KThe third step is to start packing. Obviously at this stage you wont want to pack things you still need for everyday living, but you can begin to pack some things such as family photos (its best to remove these when the house is for sale anyway) and excess decorations. If its possible, store the packed boxes out of sight in the cellar or consider renting a storage locker for a month or two.

When this step is done, you will be de-cluttered and much closer to being ready to move.

Sometimes, downsizing and de-cluttering can be overwhelming. Keep in mind that there are companies that specialize in helping people to move.

For more tips from my personal experience downsizing, please ask me to send you my Tips on Downsizing. It provides more detail on how to sell and donate goods. I can be reached at 905-822-6900 or at [email protected]

Article by: STEPHANIE HEBB


When Margaret Atwood was studying at Harvard, she had a dream about Susanna Moodie, a Canadian writer that focused on her struggles as an early settler. After Atwoods dream, she started writing poems based on Moodies stories. The Journals of Susanna Moodie is a book of poetry by Margaret Atwood, first published in 1970. In the book, Atwood adopts the voice of Susanna Moodie and conveys Moodies feelings about life in rural Canada in the 19th century.

Charles Pachter began illustrating the poems in 1968, when Atwood sent him a first manuscript of her book. The book was later republished in 1997 with a series of illustrations by Charles Pachter.

CLARKSON GOESCRAZY FOR A GOOD CAUSE

A shy 9th grader sees a group of 12th graders on stage in a silly costume in the cafeteria. She watches with a look of surprise before walking on to find a less-noisy table to eat lunch. This look of bewilderment is common among those unfamiliar with Clarksons Cancer Drive. It is a look that consists of wide eyes and raised eyebrows, occasionally accompanied by rip-roaring laughter.

It makes sense, really. Who wouldnt think teenagers riding tricycles or participating in chocolate milk chugs isnt out of the ordinary?

Well, that shy 9th grader was me when I first came to Clarkson. Back then, Cancer Drive just seemed like a crazy week where no one went to class. As someone who is now a Clarkson Cancer Drive veteran, it is safe to say that it is much more than that.

Written by: Kaitlyn Mun, Student


Those who have experienced a Clarkson Cancer Drive once or twice will know just how crazy it gets, and embrace it quite well. Recurring traditions that are sure to make an appearance for this year include a Milk Chug, real life Hungry Hungry Hippos and a Mud Run. Its a week of fun and is definitely strange for sure, but whats the point? What compels an entire school - including its teachers - to get a little crazy, get very loud and empty their wallets, all for a good cause?

The answer to this question, as youll hear very often from students and faculty alike is do it for the kids. There is no pun intended - everyone at Clarkson goes above and beyond to make life for cancer-stricken kids a little more bearable.

Clarkson Chargers come together every spring to raise money for Camp Oochigeas, an organization that provides opportunities for kids with cancer to just be kids and have fun. Camp Ooch is just like any other camp with swimming and canoeing and rock climbing, with its only difference being that it can accommodate the needs of these children, like seeing them through their chemotherapy. Dealing with cancer is already hard enough as it is, but being a child stricken with cancer is no doubt unbelievably difficult.

This year marks our 15th anniversary as partners with Camp Oochigeas, and our 42nd year hosting the drive overall. Clarkson has raised over half a million dollars for charity since its inception. Last year alone brought in the most amount ever raised in a single campaign. Go on, take a guess. Higher than ten thousand. Much higher than twenty. Give up yet?

The Clarkson Cancer Drive of 2015 was able to amass a whopping total of $43, 000 to donate to Camp Oochigeas. It is simply incredible that a school of a little over 800 kids was able to raise such a large amount in such a short time frame. To think that seemingly trivial events such as throwing pie at teachers, shaving hair and beards and paying to dress students up in costume can raise tens of thousands of dollars is almost too good to be true. Its an impressive figure, which Clarkson is certainly proud of and proves that no matter how small a community is, it can make a difference. Throughout the years, Clarkson has shown that Cancer Drive involves enormous hard work, generous enthusiasm and participation to create a bit of magic.

The President of this years Cancer Drive, Arielle Lynn is aware of this years challenge. Our challenge will just be topping last years total and making this years Cancer Drive even more successful than last years, she said. We have big shoes to fill!

Arielle is excited to work with the dedicated Cancer Drive executives to bring forth the best charity Clarkson has seen thus far. Fasten your seatbelts and break open those piggy banks because Clarkson Cancer Drive 2016 is on the horizon and it will no doubt be our most unforgettable yet.

HEALTHY EATING without the Artificial Ingredients

R E C I P E

From fine Canadian rye to specialty teas and coffees, the process of blending is integral for creating many Canadian favourites. In fact, did you know that soft non-hydrogenated margarine is crafted from a blend of plant and seed oils, like canola and sunflower oil? It starts by pressing the plants and seeds into oils. Every oil has its own unique qualities, and by blending these oils to help create margarine, you get the best of both worlds - a delicious taste and a source of essential omega 3 unsaturated fat.

Canadians today want foods that are free from artificial preservatives, with a simple and recognizable ingredient list.

The Becel margarine you love with simpler ingredients starts with canola grown by Canadian farmers and has been carefully crafted to help meet these preferences. Starting with a simple blend of plant and seed oils, along with other ingredients like buttermilk powder and a pinch of salt, margarine is perfect for cooking and baking.

As a cook I love the versatility of Becel margarine with simpler ingredi-ents. The plant and seed oils are blended to create the finest margarine, so it's my go-to ingredient for cooking, baking, roasting, sauting, and grilling, says Rose Reisman, leading Canadian healthy lifestyle and food expert, and spokesperson.

We often think of using margarine instead of butter for spreading, but it's important to remember that margarine can replace butter 1:1 in any recipe, providing irresistible flavour, with 80% LESS SATURATED FAT than butter.Because Becel margarine is made from a blend of plant and seed oils, it is a source of omega 3 polyunsaturated fat which our bodies need, making margarine a simple way to help make good fats part of any diet. Try this delicious gluten free recipe idea.

I N G R E D I E N T S 2 1/2 CUPS (625 mL) Gluten-free Pancake and Baking Mix

1/4 TSP (1 mL) Salt

2 CUPS (500 mL) Fresh Blueberries

1/2 CUP (125 mL) Becel Buttery Taste Margarine

1 1/2 CUPS (375 mL) Firmly packed Light Brown Sugar

2 Large Eggs

1 CUP (250 mL) Low-fat Buttermilk

1 TSP (5 mL) Vanilla Extract

1 TSP (5 mL) Finely grated Lemon Peel

P R E P A R A T I O NSTEP 1: Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.

STEP 2: Combine gluten free pancake and baking mix with salt in medium bowl; gently toss in blueberries.

STEP 3: Beat Becel Buttery Taste margarine with brown sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and lemon peel. Gently stir in pancake and baking mixture with wooden spoon. Evenly spoon into prepared muffin pan.

STEP 4: Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes on wire rack; remove from pan and cool completely.

RECIPE TIP : If using a pancake and baking mix or a flour blend without baking powder and baking soda, add 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) baking powder and 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) baking soda to pancake and baking mixture.

Dear Hillary,Congratulations, you have now joined the ever growing ranks of wine lovers, whether novice or not, smitten with this lively, delectable and affordable bubbly! Thanks for the great questions too, in fact there does seem to be a little confusion out there with respect to this ever popular sparkling wine.

Hummingbird Cake, which paired beautifully with the Prosecco.

In terms of where Prosecco must be made in order to be called Prosecco, you are right, just as is the case with Champagne, this sparkling wine must come exclusively from one of two wine growing regions in north eastern Italy which are Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. In fact the name comes from the Italian village of Prosecco near Trieste which is the capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Curiously Prosecco is also the name of the wine, and was until recently the name of the grape. Due to a change in regulation in 2009 the Glera grape which is a long standing synonym for Prosecco was officially recognized as the proper grape name used to identify this iconic Italian export.

One of the main attractions of Prosecco, besides it having a lively, zesty and cheerful flavour, is of course its affordability, in contrast to Champagne which can be explained partially at least in the way these two sparkling wines are produced. Champagne undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle, which is costly, takes time and is labor intensive, while Proseccos secondary fermentation takes place in a large stainless steel tank, much more economically, known as the Charmat method. Of course there are other reasons why Champagne fetches the prices it does, and all very well deserved indeed.

LOOKING FOR A ROS PROSECCO?You can find a ros sparkling wine, otherwise known as spumante, or a ros frizzante but because Prosecco must be a white wine and Pinot Noir is not among any of the permitted grapes for making Prosecco, this will not be possible. There are however some absolutely delectable ros Spumantes on the market, which do hail from this unique region of Friuli.

We recently had the opportunity to interview Nicola Pittaro, of Pitars winery, a fourth generation, historic and stunning winery located in Friuli, who was visiting here showcasing his wines.

Nicola treated us to an extensive tasting of a suburb line up of sparkling wine. We sampled their Prosecco, as well as their Pitars Ros Spumante, which was elegant, delicate, dry with hints of strawberry and raspberry, very delicious. They also produce a sparkling wine using one of the indigenous grapes of the region, the Ribolla Gialla, also delightful. If you would like more information on the various aspects of Prosecco, either on the region or on the wines, please tune in to our radio show www.connectmeradio.com and get the scoop from Nicola himself. The three above mentioned wines are available by the way here in Ontario, through VDF Wine Importers Inc. located right here in Mississauga. Cheers.

ASKTHE WINE LADIES Q&A

Dear The Wine Ladies,As a bit of a novice when it comes to wine I discovered

recently at a wedding how much I enjoy a glass of

Champagne! I soon realized that this bubbly is a little out

of my budget and have since been introduced to Prosecco

from Italy, which I thoroughly enjoy! This delightful bubbly,

much more affordable has quickly become somewhat of a

staple in our household and Id like to learn a little more

about it, including my confusion as to whether its a grape,

or a place? Does it have to come from a specific part of Italy

to be called Prosecco, as I have learned is the case with

Champagne and is it made the same way? Where can I find

a ros Prosecco, another of my favourites? Thanks Wine

Ladies for your help, I am looking forward to learning more

and enjoying more of this bubbly as spring approaches.

Law students representing the Peel and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Boards grappled with concepts of law and justice during the 13th annual Peel Mock Trial Tournament, which took place at the A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse in Brampton. We are delighted that this year, they took top prize in the competition, placing first in a field of 14 teams from across Peel Region, advancing them to the Regional Finals to be held in Milton on May the 4th. The secret to their success? Coach and teacher Laura Kirby-McIntosh thinks its the teams spirit and sense of humour. I dont think Ive ever seen a team that has worked quite so hard while laughing quite this much, she said. Theyve really learned how apply their skills while still managing to just have fun with it.

As a Realtor I often forget that I sometimes speak in Realtor Lingo. We develop these terms, abbreviations, or acronyms to use with others in the business just to save time - or maybe were just too cool to say the whole words! Regardless of the whys, if youre a first time home buyer or just want to know what the heck were saying or writing, let me share some terminology so you can impress the smart, charming Realtor you know or have just met (thats me wink wink!).

A of P&S: Agreement of Purchase and Sale (The document you need to sign when buying a home)

APR: Annual Percentage rate (has to do with mortgages)

LTV: Loan to Value (ratio of how much youre borrowing to how much the property is worth)

ON TITLE: This has to do with the (the deed) another legal document that shows what property/land youve purchased. Its filed with the land registry office of the province you purchased in. Lawyers make sure what you signed on the A of P&S is actually the same as what is on title. (Youre getting the hang of it!)

WHOS ON TITLE? Sometimes just a husband or a wife is on title - but the other spouse has an equal amount of ownership in the home. Watch out for that one! You cant sell a home without the approval of the other spouse.

A CHATTEL: Things that are not attached to the property with a screw or a nail, like a fridge or a dishwasher or a piece of furniture. You want it included in the sale? Write it in!

A FIXTURE: Things that are attached to the property like a built in cabinet (but write in the kitchen Island because it can be considered a chattel - some are not attached to the floor with even one screw!) Also consider things like a wall mounted TV. The TV is not a fixture, but the mounting bracket is!

A SOLICITOR: No, its not someone knocking on your door. Its a term for a lawyer, attorney or a barrister. Yes, they still use that term too.

ARE YOU PRE-QUALIFIED? We want to know if youve gotten an opinion from a mortgage broker, loan officer or a bank (i.e. the lender) to approve the price range you want to borrow in order to make an offer on a house you wish to purchase.

If youre buying Real Estate in Mississauga there is a lot more to know before you buy one of the biggest purchases of your life then just knowing some terminology. If youre looking for a great Realtor who will share her knowledge, expertise and have some fun along the way, please give me a call. I dont pressure my clients or rush them into making decisions. I guide my clients by explaining what theyre responsible for before they sign anything. My goal is to make you a happy home owner or seller! Find testimonials and more about my services here: www.ColetteRabba.com.

HAPPY HOUSE HUNTING!
