Easter Sunday April 8^th

Happy Easter to all, and as I sit and enjoy this lovely sunny long weekend – with not a whole planned and enjoyable family times, yard cleanup and some early planting.

I think about how lucky we are in Ancaster sometimes seems a little Utopian – I know my neighbors and (sometimes) wave and the masses of people that go by my house on their way to the Bray Path. 

I can’t help but think about the recent news stories concerning homes in the Meadowlands, and wonder how the neighbors did not have any idea.  Groups of men in and out of the house at strange hours, the comings and goings must have been very strange.  For a seemingly well to do neighborhood – it at least causes my eyebrows to curl.

Some victims worked directly for the organization’s stucco businesses, while others were farmed out to different companies, including a lumber yard and a tiling contractor.

 Gang members lived the high life. In the fall of 2009, Ferenc and Gyula Domotor moved into new houses, each worth nearly $500,000, down the street from each other in Ancaster.

 Over the course of the next year, even as police investigated, the Domotor organization continued to bring workers into the country and even branched into a new type of crime: tipping over Canada Post boxes at night and rooting through the mail to steal and cash cheques.

The really scary thing is that these people were running multiple Contractor business’s – stucco and tiling and dealing with local people and coming in and out of our homes.

How do you select a Contractor – from a mess of Ad’s in the back of the Newspaper?  No you should call friends and people you know – people with personal references – like the Ancaster Factor.  www.ancasterfactor.ca.

 Every person on the business directory at the Ancaster Factor – I know and personally vouch for – honestly.  J - jojo
