Volunteers needed to help construct Habitat home LISA TALLYN Staff Writer Volunteers are needed to help with the Habitat for Humanity build in Georgetown set for later this year and families are being invited to apply for one of three homes to be built next year. Deanna Smuk, volunteer co-ordinator with Habitat for Humanity Halton (HFHH), said all kinds of volunteers are needed to help with the Dayfoot Dr. project, set to get underway when ground is broken in mid to late April. The house will be built on a 50 ft. x 106 ft. lot at 50 Dayfoot Dr. and the name of the family who will partner with HFHH and own the home has not yet been released. Smuk said the non-profit organization, which has already built two homes in Burlington and one in Acton, needs people to help out as building volunteers, provide food and beverages to the volunteer builders, and from companies who can provide gifts in kind such as doors and windows. She said HFHH is in the process of setting up a build committee in Georgetown to oversee this and future builds in town. That committee would consist of members from six different committees-- volunteer liaison, food and beverage, gifts in kind, general fund development, and site supervisor and project manager. The team leader from each of those committees would serve on the build committee. Volunteers are needed in all of those areas. "The response from Georgetown, Acton and Milton has just been overwhelming," said Smuk. "It's been absolutely wonderful." Potential volunteers are encouraged to attend an HFHH information session/community meeting at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday) at Salvation Army Georgetown Community Church, 271 Mountainview Rd. Information sessions for low-income families interested in applying to partner with the organization and become a HFHH homeowner for three Georgetown homes in 2007 will be held tonight (Wednesday), 7 p.m. at St. John's United Church, 11 Guelph St., and Saturday, March 11, 10 a.m. at St. Andrew's United Church at 89 Mountainview Rd. S. "The selected families will partner with Habitat to help build the house," said Kathrin Delutis, HFHH executive director. "Families will purchase the house from Habitat after completing 500 hours of sweat equity and repay a long-term zero interest mortgage." Potential families must pre-register for the session by calling 1-866-314-4344. For more information on HFHH visit www.habitathalton.ca.

Couple thankful no one hurt after rock thrown at their car LISA TALLYN Staff Writer A Cambridge couple has two dents in their new car after rocks, or some other objects, were thrown at it Sunday night while they drove through Georgetown South, but they are just relieved no one was injured in the incident. Andrea Taborda said she and her husband Ricardo and their twin three-year-old daughters Ava and Olivia were heading south on Mountainview Rd. between Barber Dr. and Argyll Rd. at about 9 p.m. after visiting family in Glen Williams when they heard two loud bangs. She said they immediately pulled over their 2006 Toyota Camry, and got out to see what had happened. They found two dents in the rear passenger side door. One was close to the window, and the other about two inches below. The couple was very upset, not so much for the damage to their car because they have a body shop owner in the family, but because the rocks could have gone through the window where Ava was sitting. "If it had gone through the glass it would have busted every bone in her face, if not killed her," said Taborda. She said when they drove back they saw two males, who had been hidden by the trees on Smith Dr., run off across Mountainview Rd. Ricardo chased them to McKinnon Ave. but they both got away. Police were called and are investigating the incident. Det. Sgt. Peter Hodgson said police take incidents like this one very seriously. "Fortunately there were no injuries in this case, but often times it does result in some very serious injuries," said Hodgson. He said even if no one is hit by the object, having an object thrown at a car can startle the driver causing him to lose control of the vehicle. "If you're looking for fun, find a different way to have fun," said Taborda. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Det. Sgt. Hodgson at 905-878-5511 ext. 2415 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.
