Discover the library
during Literacy Week
There is no better time to discover the
library than during Durham Region
Family Literacy Week Feb. 22 to 29.
Ajax Public Library has many materials
to help residents include reading as a
family activity. Library staff will be happy
to select materials appropriate for every
child's reading level and interest.
Other books, such as How to Choose
Good Books for Kids by Kate Hall
McMullan and For Reading Out Loud! by
Margaret Mary Kimmel and Elizabeth
Segel, list books for children from infancy
to young adulthood.
To interest children in reading,
encourage them to "read" the pictures
when they are unable to read the words;
have adults read to them daily; include
other fun activities with reading — such as
drawing, coloring or using funny voices.
Materials are also available to help
adults improve their reading skills. High
interest, low vocabulary books offer new
adult readers an opportunity to read
about interesting topics using a limited
vocabulary.
New adult readers may also borrow
guide books that promote reading skills.
L
A New Start - Canada: A Functional
Course in Basic English and Survival
Literacy, by Mary Selmer and Linda
Mrowicki, is a book of exercises especially
for new Canadians learning English as a
second language.
A series of three videos form an entire
literacy program entitled I Want to Read.
This video program offers very practical
exercises to improve reading skills. The
videos may be borrowed individually, or
used in the library.
Visit the Ajax Public Library for these
and other materials, or call for assistance
at 683-4000.

PHS fights racism March
6 for UN Day
Pickering High School students are
celebrating the March 21 International
Day for the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination on March 6 because the
day falls in the March break.
The theme "Together We're Better" will
be integrated into many activities such as
drama presentations, T-shirts, cake
decorating, videos, door decorating,
creative writing and more. The idea is to
positively promote the similarities between
people, rather than the differences.
School groups involved in this
celebration include the Multicultural
ax
Club, Amnesty International, Race
Relation Forum and various teachers at
the school.
The hopes of those involved in this day
is that racial awareness and
understanding are not just a 1 -day
thought, but a lifetime attitude.

an excellent councillor. I'm really
disappointed for him and for the citizens
of the town."
The mayor praised Price's reserved
style. and called him a straight ahead
politician.
"John was never a person to jump out
into the limelight. But he was an excellent
worker behind the scenes."
At press time Price could not be
reached for comment.

Rouge Valley urban park
public comment time
The provincial committee planning the
development of the Rouge Valley urban
park will hold a public meeting Thursday
to hear public comment on the latest plans
to develop the park.
Those plans include widening the park
boundaries to include a significant chunk
of Pickering land along Finch to Petticoat
Creek.
The boundary of the park was
established in 1990 at the Pickering -
Scarborough line. But the Phase 2 report
recommends expansion. It also
recommends guidelines for lands beside the
park, and three models for the interior:
minimum facilities, concentrated facilities
and dispersed facilities.
The March 5 meeting is to receive public
comment before the committee drafts its
final report for presentation in June.
Developer denied refund
for Twyn Rivers sewers
A development firm which built the

Valerian Investments built the line to

and asked the town to pay half of the
$145,000 costs. Town staff recommended
Pickering pay 33 per cent. In the "zero per
cent" spirit of Monday's council meeting,
council voted "no".

..De Boer's
famous forfine-craftedby Dn McLean
he name De Boer's and fine
crafted furniture have been
synonymous for many years.
>4 A visit to the Pickering
Home Design Centre certainly
illustrates this traditional adage. The
experience, in many ways, is
comparable to visiting a fine art
gallery.
The 35,000 sq. ft. showroom is filled
with colorful shapes and designs —
fine furniture crafted in unique
sculpted shapes in unusual yet elegant
fabrics, metals and woods.
No two designs look alike. Yet
everything is unlike anything that
might be seen in other furniture
showrooms. De Boer's showroom
designers have obviously gone to great
lengths to elegantly illustrate De
Boer's unique products.
In the minds of some people,
however, De Boer's furniture and
home design service is a luxury
reserved for only those who could
afford the seeming high cost of
discriminating taste.
Yet nothing could be further from
the truth, says De Boer's Pickering
store manager Bev Hunter.
'It's a glamorous store, but it's also
a store for ever -body," stie said in an
interview.
For a special room or a special piece see De Boer's
'Most everything in here is
affordable for people in Ajax and
Pickering. You can create a look you
want in a high or inexpensive price
range.'
Hunter admits its a challenge to
break down the store's somewhat
exclusive reputation. The Pickering
location hosts a number of social and
charity events as a means of helping
introduce people to the environment.
In addition, De Boer's designers
have decorated a model home on
display at the Pickering Design
Centre.
The unique nature of De Boer's is
no accident. 'We've tried to be
trendsetters," Hunter said.
De Boer's furniture and home
design buyers travel all over the world
searching for designs with an unusual
elegance and for unique one -of -a -kind
items requested by customers.
The staff at the Pickering location
includes a team of four in-store
designers and five others. They create
layouts and color boards at a
customer's home.
Designs can be based around
existing pieces in a home, or on an
entirely new look. "If people want to
keep certain furniture pieces, we'll
work our way around them," Hunter
said.
Every designer in the store holds an
interior design degree. "That's what I
think makes us a unique store. It is
the fact everybody is a qualified
designer," the manager said.
Hunter herself attended the New
York City school of interior design
and studied drafting in college. She
also visits trade shows all over the
world in order to know what's going
on in the business of home designs.
The Pickering showroom features a
number of in-store displays of
completed bedroom, living room and
dining room settings. It also features
samples of paint, wallpaper, fine
fabrics and carpeting from around the
world.
Staff are committed to creating the
ultimate environment to suit any
lifestyle? Hunter said.
This year De Boer's is celebrating its
40th anniversary. The Pickering
outlet is in the Pickering Home and
Design Centre at 1755 Pickering
Parkway. Unit 30. For more
information call 683-9660.
Energy
saving heatpumps brinq- year round comfort
If you are considering adding
central air conditioning,
replacing your existing central
air conditioner or furnace,
building a new home or just
want to save energy and money,
think first about a heat pump. A
heat pump is quite simply the
most energy efficient heating
system on the market today.
The fact that a heat pump
provides both heating and air
conditioning for your home,
makes the heat pump an ideal
year-round space conditioning
system. This is accomplished by
taking advantage of the scientific
principle that heat flows from
hot areas to cooler ones. The
heat PSP is changed from an
air conditioner to a heating
system through a reversing valve
that changes the refrigerant
flow. In the heating mode, the
OW= coil contains refrigerant
which is colder than the outdoor
air. A fan blows outdoor air
across the coil where heat is
absorbed by the refrigerant.
When the refrigerant
temperature has increased, it is
pumped to the indoor coil. The
heat is then released into your
home heating duct system by a
fan blowing across the indoor
coil.
In the summer, the heat pump
functions like a regular air
conditioning system keeping
your home cod and dry.
Unlike other heating systems,
the heat pump transfers existing
heat from the outdoor air to the
inside of your house, rather than
creating heat from an energy
source like gas, oil or electricity.
Because heat pumps use
existing heat, they can produce
anywhere from 1.7 to 2.0 units
of heat energy for each unit of
electric energy consumed. It
does this by relying on the fact
that there is heat available in the
outdoor air until the temperature
reaches •273 degrees

centigrade, the outside air
contains over 80 per cent of the
heat that is available at 38
degrees centigrade.
There are two basic types of
heat pumps, the ground -source
heat pump, and air to air heat
Pumps.
The earth temperature under
your house changes very little all
year long. In the winter the soil
is warmer than the outside air.
The ground -source heat pump
extracts this free energy and
transfers it to your house in its
heating mode. In the summer,
the soil is cooler than the outside
air and the cycle is reversed.
The ground -source heat pump
extracts heat from your house
and transfers it to the soil in the
cooling mode. The transfer
from cooling to heating is done
by your room thermostat. All
GSHPs have two parts. A heat
Pump unit inside the house, and
a circuit of underground piping
outside the house.
The air to air heat pump
operates on a similar principle,
but the heat exchanging is done
into the air. It is available m two
versions: An add-on heat pump
which operates in sequence with
Your existing gas, oil or electric
furnace and its popular
alternative, the complete
conventional system. Heat
pumps operate in winter most
efficiently at temperatures above
-1°C. Gas and oil furnaces in
particular operate most
efficiently at low temperatures,
since they run longer and more
frequently than at high
temperatures. When
temperatures drop below
freezing, the heat pump cuts off
and the gas, oil or electric
furnace takes over. The add-on
heat pump in the summer
Operates like a conventional air
conditioner. So you have year-
round comfort and economy.
As the outdoor temperature
decreases, there is less heat
available in the air, and the
heating capacity of the heat
Pump decreases. Since the
amount of heat required for your
home increases as the outdoor
temperature drops, there is a
temperature below which the
total heating requirement for
your home cannot be met by the
heat pump alone. This
temperature is called the
With the add-on heat pump,
the balance is manually set by
the contractor when add-on heat
pump systems are installed.
Once set, the system will
automatically switch from the
heat pump to the furnace as the
outdoor temperature drops
below the balance point. This
combination of systems allows
optimum performance from
both the heat pump and the
backup system.
In the case of the
conventional heat pump, when
the outdoor temperature drops
below the balance point, electric
resistance heaters are switched
on automatically to supplement
the heat pump and keep you

Pump will have a total owning
and operating cost which is
competitive with any heating
system.
Heat pumps, like all heating
systems, work more efficiently in
houses that are well insulated
and weatherized. Therefore,
when adding a heat pump
system, it is a good time to
make sure your home has
adequate insulation, storm
windows, caulking and
weatherstripping.
In either system, your
ductwork may need some
changes to handle the airflow
required for a heat pump. Your
heating contractor will be able to
tell you if your existing ductwork
is adequate.

lthough Japanese and
European imports continue to
dominate the myriad of
annual awards bestowed b
car magazines and automotive scribes
North American manufacturers have
begun to catch up with their off -shore
rivals in terms of delivering value for
money.
For example,General Motors had a
half-dozen different models among the
finalists in various categories of the
recent awards handed out by the
Automobile Journalists Association of
Canada(AJAC). Although, in the end,
GM didn't make it to the winner's
podium, such a strong showing has to be
an encouraging sign for the domestic car
industry.
Ford, too, had a couple of entries
among the AJAC finalists. Its St.
Thomas, Ontario -built Crown Victoria
was named Best Built Car in Canada by
World of Wheels Magazine.
All of which leads us to our recent
road test of the unheralded Chevrolet
Lumina. The Lumina was introduced a
couple of years ago, supplanting the
Celebrity as Chevy's bread-and-butter
family sedan.
While it's admittedly not a car that
will turn the heads of the trendy set, a
Lumina Euro model fitted with an
optional 3.4 -litre V6 was one of the
nicest Chevys we've driven in a number
of years.
The Lumina's clean exterior
appearance is dressed up on the Euro
sedan by the addition of a rear -deck
spoiler and cast aluminum wheels fitted
with Goodyear Eagle GT+4 radial tires.
Inside, our test car sported optional, 4 -
way -adjustable front bucket seats
($330) and an upgraded stereo -cassette
system ($4130).
The optional seats were comfortable
and supportive, and enabled you to find
the right driving position without undue
fiddling. I'm not a fan of the Lumina's
long narrow dashboard, but the
instruments — including a tachometer
— and controls are reasonably well laid
out.
Fit and finish of the spacious interior,
if you disregard the over -use of very
pedestrian -looking gray plastic, was
good. Trunk space is also generous.
What impressed us most about this
Chevy was the gutsy and smooth 3.4-
litre V6 under the hood. This twin
dual -camshaft unit produces 200
horsepower (210 with a manual
gearbox) at 5,000 rpm and 215 ft. lbs.
of torque at 4,000 rpm. (For
comparison's sake, that's only five

litre V6 that powers the "gee -whiz"
Pontiac Bonneville SSEi.)
During a Montreal -Toronto run on
the 401, the Chevy's 3.4 power plant
linked to a 4 -speed automatic
transmission — which is packaged with
the optional engine — perked along
effortlessly at high speed and delivered
very decent gas mi
While it's no sports car, the Lumina
Euro behaved very respectably off the
main highway as well — thanks to a
beefed-up suspension system that is
standard on cars equipped with the 3.4 -
litre engine. ABS brakes also are
standard on the Euro sedan.
The price of the car as tested was
$23,010, taking into account a $1,000
cash -back incentive. Overall, this is a
Chevy deserving consideration if you're
looking for a family sedan that also
delivers a little spunk.

Odor=Controlled Garlic
cientific research has
�ii� >`' '»' proven that NuLife's
Clovicin garlic 8 has the
highest potency for
beneficial health effects.
Clovicin garlic tablets are made
from the highest quality garlic
consisting of an unprecedented
blend of red and white garlic. It is
exclusively grown in the Tian Shan
Mountains, a region of China
famous for producing the most
pungent and tasty garlic. Clovicin
contains no artificial colors,
flavors, sugar, salt, yeast, dairy or
preservatives. To eliminate odor
and flavor, Clovicin garlic is
enteric-coated to delay the release
of the ingredients until it reaches
the intestine.
There are many garlic products
on the market today, so it is
important that you understand
why NuLife's Clovicin is a superior
garlic product compared to
others.
Q. What should I look for when
buying a garlic product?
A. A product with the highest
allicin potential!
When fresh raw garlic is
crushed, an enzyme (allinase) acts
on a unique amino acid (allin) to
produce allicin, the active
ALFA
compound in garlic. The potential
a garlic product has of producing
allicin is considered a reflection of
the garlic's quality. In a garlic
product, this is referred to as
'allicin potential'.
This reveals how much allicin
will be produced when the garlic is
digested. In a garlic product it is
important to have a high allicin
potential, but low allicin levels.
Allicin is very reactive and
unstable, so it is not well stored in
a food supplement. It is important
that the allicin is formed once it
enters your body and not before.
In terms of health benefits, a
high potency garlic product should
have high levels of alliin, a high
relative enzyme activity (this
compares the amount of enzyme
activity in the product to fresh
garlic; a value of 1 being best),
and low levels of allicin. But the
most important factor is a high
allicin potential. The higher the
allicin potential, the better the
garlic.
