Ajax inspection campaign prevents fires By Dan Md,tan Ajax firefighters will be out snuffing out potential blazes before they happen this summer and fall. For the third year in a row the Ajax fire department is conducting in-service inspections. Regular firefighting crews are pitching in to help out understaffed regular inspectors identify possible fire hazards in local commercial and industrial locations. The program started in May and will continue through to November, according to Captain John Hunter, Ajax fire department's fire inspection officer. Invaluable In addition to the obvious community benefit from the program, the in-service inspections often prove invaluable to area firefighters. "It gives the firefighting crews a chance to see the buildings," Hunter told The Boy News. In the event of a fire they may remember what they look like. That way, they'll know what to expect when they go in." "We started this program about three years ago. There are many departments throughout North America that are doing these now." Spreading Pickering already has a simiia• program in place. Whitby Fre Department is expected to initiate one this year. Last year Ajax firefighters performed 409 inspections and 390 re - inspections. A total of 157 violation notices were handed out. Hunter hopes local firefighters can double the number of inspections this year since most staff now are better at it. The men are fairly well versed on what to look for now. We 'figure' we can send them out (individually)." The task keeps local firefighters extremely busy, according to Hunter. Prevention "Part of their job is fire prevention. The firefighter today doesn't sit around and wait for fires." In addition to regular duties, local firefighters receive four hours a month of cormnuous fire prevention training. Since May, both Ajax fire station crews covered 3 -days -a -week, 4 -hour inspection routes. The department's goal is to inspect every commercial and industrial business in town, once a year. Education and community awareness are key elements to the program. The focus of the project is prevention and it has been a proven success, Hunter said. "We dont want to take action against people," he said. "We're here to tell them how to look after themselves, their employees and their property." Learning Hunter is proud of the fact that during his 18 years on the department only two cases of court action have been taken. Inspections are spontaneous and random. "We try and get people to understand. I certainly don't want to go to court and I do what I can to prevent that from happening." A fire crew team arrives in its fire truck and cond<ncts its inspection Voluntary water restrictions Ajax and Pic mm residents are being asked to use less water for the balance of this summer. During a recent region cowd meeting Oshawa Cou ncft John Aker, the regiods works chairman, said vakuttary water restrictions throughout both rrnmitipOes w+dl continue for the duration of summer "Yes, in my opinion it will be permanent for the balance of the sun neC Aka said responding to a gtnesbon posed by Ajax Mayor dim W". Wkmiary restrictiors have been in place since the middle of June. Hon► u hers living in oddimbered houses are asked to water their lawns only on odd -numbered days. Residerds in even nu mbered homes are aslied to do the inverse. 'These have been very mces"w he told cound. "If they hadnt been, we would have gone to a mardatosy keft iW." At one point dcautg a hat spell in Jane, the OwWwood reservoir in Pickering depleted to only 11 per cent capacity — a situation Aker descrhbed as dangerota. Ajax Mayor Witty asked the region's works department to provide vift* mat on the capKky at O=VAK od to moist tical councilors stopublic work. Naturally if an emergency call is received, the men disperse to the necessary location. 9, during the inspection, the team finds any dangerous situations or conditions which defy local fire regulations, business property owners are asked to correct the faults. The team re -inspects to ensure the work has been done after up to another 28 days. Procedure If the violation still exists, then another warning is given and another re -inspection occurs 28 days later. If the violation isn't corrected then, the fire prevention office is asked to take action. The Weekend Bay News, July 10, U, 12,1992 A3 Firefighters are community educators who try to meet with people personally and make them understand the importance of fire Prevention, Hunter said. Most businesses would simply not be aware of hazards, or do anything about it if the department didn't conduct its inspections, he said. While some firefighters may be reluctant to assume the outgoing role, the fire prevention officer insists that most welcome the challenge. "We've got a selling job to do," he said. "We're salesmen selling fare protection. That's our lob." A4 Tlse Wedcend Bay News, July 10,11,12,1992 Fisons earns community service award A local pharmaceutical fug has been chosen to receive this year's Community Service Award of The Lung Association, Metropolitan Toronto and York Region. The award was to be presented to Joe Knott, president of Fisons Corporation Limited, in a ceremony at Fisons' offices, 1851 Sandstone Manor, Pickering. Fisons is being recognized for its support and contribution in the Lung Association's spring asthma seminar and the annual sport-o-rama asthma fun day. Fisons is a world leader in respiratory research. The pharmaceutical division produces asthma medications including the newest anti-inflammatory medication, nedocromil, which was made available in Canada in October 1990. Originating in the United Kingdom, Fisons is active in medical research, pharmacology and the consumer health fields. It has maintained a corporate presence in Canada ke""n--hn - I since the late 1950s and is located in Pickering. Yard waste collection continues through summer Pickering's yard waste curbside collection program will continue once a month throughout the summer. The decision, by Pickering council, upon the recommendation from the Pickering waste reduction committee, will be to offer the organic yard waste pickups on the last Monday of July, August, September and October —then for five continuous Mondays through November. Although yard waste is not generated in large volumes during the hot summer months, the once -a -month pickup schedule will allow residents who have regular tree and hedge clippings — as well as those who make continuous yard improvements — an opportunity to place these materials at curbside for central composting rather than landfill. Brush, branches and shrubs should be bound, if necessary, with string. It is also more desirable for finished compost to place bedded flowers, sod and other yard trimmings in a bushel basket or hamper rather than plastic bags. Grass clippings are best left on the lawn. However, if placed at curbside, either a basket or a clear plastic bag will be accepted. Citizen task force to fight landfill The fight against building a regional landfill in Pickering is about to be formally waged with the announcement of a citizens' task force by acting Pickering Mayor Maurice Brenner last week. According to a press release, the group will provide public education, information sharing and explore options to reduce landfill dependency through better waste management. Invitations to take part in the effort have been sent to a number of local citizen groups including Pickering -Ajax Citizens Together (PACT),Durham Environmental Network and Pickering Waste Reduction Committee, says Brenner. Both the Whitevale and Broekridge communities have also been invited to take part — as well as the area's local councillors. A storefront office will be set up in the Pickering Town Centre — in space donated by the mall management. The location will serve as an information centre and be staffed by volunteers. $4.2 million contract for Pickering fum Simmonds Cossmunieatians Ltd. of Pickering has won a $4.2 million contract to supply radio -based system to the federal department of revenue, eustams and excise.

'In addition to providing security at Canadian border Points, the contract wiil maintain seven jobs at Simmonds Communications — a small but growing Pickering -area business; Soetens said in a press please.

Win silver medals at Durham College Three local Durham College students discovered a "silver liming" to their academic efforts this year. David Horney and Christine Van Riesen of Ajax and Gwyneth Smith of Pickering were all presented with the college's silver medal during graduation ceremonies June 6. Homey, an electrical engineering technician student, received his award as a highest ranking student in a 2 - year technical program.

Reconstruct 401 bridges in Ajax for $550,000 Work is expected to begin soon on a $550,000 project to reconstruct two Highway 401 bridges spanning Duffin's Creek and Church Street in Ajax. The announcement last week by Ontario Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot was part of a new provincial program initiative called jobsOntarioeapital. The Ajax project is part of a recent $140 million a8oeatioe. Transportation ministry representative Will MacKenzie said work on the Highway 401 bridges is expected to begin very soon and should be completed by October. The contract has been awarded to Dagmar Construetion Ltd. Of Markham. Work will involve restoring and repaving. The equivalent of 17 jobs for a year are expected to be e�eated. 'We eu't say exactly how many people wiU be hired speei6eaRy for that job,' Ma&mzie told 7be Bay News. The number of jobs created is based on a computer formula celeaktion fist takes into account the type of work and costs involved, he said. Some X00 million in total is expeeted to be aHoeated for capital projects this year. The jobsOntarioeapital program was an initiative announced by the finance minister during this spring's provindal budget. The 5 -year program — budgeted for $2.3 bib is expected to provide approximately 10,000 direct and indirect job across the province in its first year. . _ The jobsOntarioeapital initiative is designed to enhance the province's infrastructures in transportation, communication and environmental areas.

Pickering Town Centre (god Level) Pavement oil off shoes vinyls worst enemy aking your shoes off before walking inside a home is much more than just the polite thing to do. It's also an expedient decision that will prevent irreparable damage to vinyl floors throughout a home, says Ernie Jones, the service manager at Carpet Towne in Pickering. An oily compound excreted from tar - covered driveways and roads is the offending culprit, according to Jones. The compound is a byproduct in tar that becomes especially abundant on hot days. Drivewav sealants don't stop the spread since these tend to break down, especially during hot days. Rubber -soled shoes are particularly prone to picking up this oily slick. When tracked into a home, the tar compound carried on the sole of a shoe causes permanent ,yellow stains on any vinyl floor with which it comes in contact. 'it starts with a couple of spots on the floor and spreads like chicken pox," Jones said, describing the eventual damage. "it can start (yellowing) within a couple of weeks. People often just wash it over and think they've washed it off." Most people aren't aware of the damage that can be done. Once a vinyl floor begins to yellow, there's virtually nothing that can be done to bring back the original lustre. It's impossible to remove the yellow spots, Jones said. "It's a shame because some people spend as j Sf fr �r �•Snp ,t'�ir r•;'► �'r�'��+�+�E_ *�� "`f �.

One way to diminish the staining compound on a drivewav is to spread a thin coat of silicone sand on it. It helps to absorb the offending oil. However, the best way to avoid the problem is to simply do what's often considered the polite thing before entering a home.

"They're not your hurdles you didn't build them — so you can walk around them. But when you put a hurdle in front of yourself, you can't ignore it," he adds. "And the biggest one is '1 can't'.' Known as Willie to some, Sam to others, William Magee has spent most of his life working for, and with, "kids". "It all started in 1937 at Parkdale Collegiate; he says, 'when [fixed up an old basketball that was headed for the garbage.' Just 14 at the time, Willie mended it, used one of his dad's shoelaces to restring it, and then used the ball to start up the ParkdaI Inter -Church Sports League. It was the beginning of an amazing career. His dad's sudden death that same year sent Willie out to work. He bed about his age and joined the army, the air force and the navy. "I was in and out like a yo-yo,' he laughs. They kept discovering my age and throwing we out.' 'But Willie loved the military life and managed to talk his way in. And that is where he stayed until he retired in 1964, a veteran of the Second World War, having served with the First Special Service Force as one of Canada's original green berets. Throughout his long career, even since his retirement, Willie remained deeply involved some children and a sponsor. in organizing activities and working with Any organization or service club can youth. Although a long-time Oshawa I sponsor a Kids for Kids club. The sponsors resident, his involvement in youth and community work has made him a familiar presence in the Ajax -Pickering area. He sat as a director on the board for the Ajax -Pickering Family "Y"; was chairman of our United Way campaign; and for 10 years was executive director of the local branch of Big Brothers. So, with 55 years of various community and volunteer work behind him, is he ready to slow down yet? Not William Magee. His latest cause — Kids for Kids — may just be his biggest and best effort yet. Based on his conviction that every youth needs something meaningful to belong to, and that children and teens are fully capable of designing and operating their own programs, Fids for Kids works on a concept that Willie has employed successfully for years. When a handful of youngsters want to start a club, he sits them down and asks each of role is simply to provide facilities at no cost; them, 'What would you like your group to protect and support Kids for Kids and their do? what could you do as a group for your programs; and invite them into the bosom of community?' the sponsoring organization, allowing them to Usually, they want dances.

J By PhiBp WMt1&9t0n "Ko way!" was my wife Brenda's first reaction when I proposed going sea kayaking on Georgian Bay. "I'll probably roll over and drown before we leave the dock," she added. 1 couldn't tell if she was serious, or if it was a clever bluff for future considerations. After strategically whining and snivelling and giving numerous concessions, I "suckered" her into heading up to White Squall's operation near Parry Sound. I must admit I had reservations about the stability of kayaks, and felt a slight apprehension mixed with my excitement. 1 smugly congratulated myself as we donned our life vests and spray skirts, knowing that it was too late for her to back out. My concern over seaworthiness was dissipated once I was in and paddling, as I found the lower centre of gravity made these craft even more stable than canoes. Famously Despite initial problems with turning ",e kayak, Brenda seemed to be managing famously and didn't seem "tippy.. at ali. In tk.e immediate kayaking presence of the instructors, she Practiced her "wet exit", twice, in the warm water of Cole Lake, the base kxdge. After loading the gear onto a trailer, a short drive took us to Snug Harbor where the kayaks — along with the rest of our group of eight plus three instructors — were readied for the open water crossing to a small offshore island. A sidelong glance at Brenda indicated she was really enjoying herself. As a matter of fact, she seemed to be having too much fun for someone who had objected so strongly to coming. Clouds of suspicion formed on my cerebral horizon. Surprise My thoughts were eclipsed by the surprising way in which the kayaks skimmed across the water with such minor muscle input. The kayaks had a&Lszbie footrests inside which steered a rudder, helping considerably with turning and strarght tracking. After a shore lunch, further paddling strokes and safety demonstrations were interspersed throughout a re:ax:�g:y paced paddle along 7:e. Seeing the bottom 20 feet below you swing up as you paddled over it was mesmerizing. White Squall (705-342-5324) has been operating for seven seasons now. It has gathered an accomplished team of instructors. Trips of up to six days are available. Children are welcome. As we drove home that evening Brenda accidentally (7) allowed she'd like to go on a 4 - day trip. Curses! I'd been hustled from the start. Well, let's see how she likes parachute school.

Vacationtime recau ' � p tions pay o or homeocurers Summer has finally arrived and you're probably in the midst of planning a special vacation. But before you get completely lost in daydreams about lazy, sun -filled afternoons at the cottage or camping in a wooded glen, turn your thoughts homeward for a few minutes. Have you given much thought to the security and general we, being of your home while you plan to be away? Have you arranged for someone to check the house, collect the mail, water the flowers and mow the laam? If you haven't, you'll be making it dear to all passers-by (including would-be thieves) that no one is home. By taking a few simple steps now and planning for the care of Your home while Wf re away, youl rest much easier kivmng that everything is taken care of and that your home will be safe and sound upon your return. Checklist A few weeks before your scheduled vacation, it's an excellent idea to make a comprehensive checldist of all the arrangements that need to be made. Fust, be sure to cancel the delivery of all newspapers and mail for the duration of uour varatinn Tn maim nn� +k;, .......... ,... .____. You may want to cancel these deliveries a duple of days before your actual departure. You may also wish these services to resume the exact day of your return, or a day or two afterwards. In any case, be sure to give enough notice. Also arrange fora nearby friend or relative to look after your hale both inside and oud. You can ask them to mow the lawn and water Your garden, and check your house every other day to spot any small problems before they turn into bigger ones. Doorstep Also ask them to remove any advertising flyers or brochures which get left on your doorstep while you're away. These can pile up quite quickly after a couple of weeks, and their presence is a clear indication that no one is home. It's also advisable to let your immediate neighbors know youb be away so they can be alert to any suspicious activity around your home and report it to the police. Also be size to leave a phone ^umber or contact point where you can be reached by the person who is looking after your home. If you can't get someone you know to take on these duties, consider hiring a professional, bonded house sitter. Hounsesitters can ore hired to either stay in your house or make periodic checks while you're gone. Although you71 have to pay for the service_, it's worth Lhe peace of mind. If your pets wori t be accompanying you on your vacation, make sure you make arrangements to have someone look after them or book them into a boarding kennel. Keep in mind that some kennels get filled to capacity during peak vacation periods. To ensure that your oet gets into the kennel of your choice, book in advance. Windows Be sure to put several lights in your home on timers so they'll turn or. and off at various times of the day. You may even want to consider leaving a radio playing to give the impression that someone s at home. Crime prevention authorities recommend that your friend or house sitter do things to gime your hale a "somebody's home" look. These include opening and closing curtains and moving cars in and out of the driveway. You may even want to invite a neighbor to park an extra car in Your driveway while You're away. This furthers the ilknsm that someone is home. It's also a good idea to remove valuables like jewelry and important documents from your home. Put them in a safety deposit boot at your bank where yaM know they can't be stolen. As well, be sure to check the status of your window and door loch well in advance of your departure. That way, if you find a loose or faulty latch or lock, you'll have adequate time to get it repaired. You may also ward to install security bars on any windows which might provide a key point d entry for thieves. On the event of fire, these bars can be swung out of the way from the inside of your home.) Fs also a good idea not to leave any took lying around the yard which could either be stolen or used to gain entry to your }home bamrners, screwdmas and so ort).

T 401 The Weekend Bay News, July 10, U, 12, 1992 A 23 Convenient, personal, private, proven new homes rank Veltri readily >: recalls the first words that came to his mind when he initially walked the small Bowmanville site that would eventually become home to 20 families. "A place you can finally call home." were his prophetic words used to describe what was to become Liberty Lane. There were several intriguing elements behind that phrase. First and most importantly was the location of the community. Frank Veltri says he believes it to be the best of all new housing sites in Bowmanville. Just off Liberty Street, it's a major route which links directly to highway 401 and highway 2 — moments from a local high school and community hospital. Secondly, Liberty Lane is a project surrounded by existing homes. That means once the community is constructed, there's no threat of future LA ' The much antieip ated ` come visit these 9W7 14 Fror,r detached* ' ; rl Be one of only 20 families to move to this beautifully situated community located just moments from all amenities. Situated amongst beautiful mature trees on a private court. Liberty Lane is surrounded by fully developed residential housing, so come visit a place you can finally call home. development since there won't be any additional land to develop. "People can rest at ease knowing they don't have to worry about a parcel across the street that 'might' be rezoned to a use you wouldn't approve of," Veltri says. The third quality that makes Liberty Lane a great place to call home is the fact the site only consists of 20 housing units. There's no subdivision containing hundreds of homes that would take years to build. It's a very comfortable and personal community. The fourth good reason is the fact that Liberty Lane is a private street with a court. No drive-by traffic — only a private and tranquil neighborhood. And finally there's Veltri quality and value. Bowmanville is among the most competitive housing markets anywhere, so outstanding features are a virtual must. The Veltri Group boasts a 30 - year reputation. "We know our prices are slightly higher than that of other new home developers," Frank Veltri admits. "But there is no substitute for quality and value. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for." "We never cut corners," Veltri adds. "if people are coming strictly for price, then we simply cannot help them. They'll have to look elsewhere." Compare such elements as windows, bricks and workmanship. You'll find there's simply no comparison. Frank Veltri has built his reputation on the fact he'll pay more when it means providing a product of better quality and value. Liberty Lane boasts seven models from which to choose. The Veltri Group caters to individualized needs whether you choose a raised bungalow. 2 - storey or backsplit home. }tome sizes range from a cozy 995 sq. ft. to a spacious 1,989 sq. ft. model.

It's a roomy 1,36 sq. ft.. 3 - bedroom home featuring a large master bedroom with his and hers closets and a separate access to the main bathroom. A large vestibule provides a warm welcome. The best selling feature of the home is its large kitchen with endless cabinetry and counter space and a bright breakfast area with a walkout. The :Fina model is an excellent starter home.
