Those 8 DRP officers paddling by were real If you thought you saw eight Durham Region policemen paddling a canoe eastward in Lake Ontario past Pickering and Ajax yesterday, it really wasn't a mirage. At about 1:30 pm the police team in their 26 -foot North canoe were to arrive at the 4 hitby Yacht Club after paddling from Toronto to be presented with the Durham Region Police flag by Chief Trevor McCagherty. The eight police officers are practising for the Great Canoe Race Aug. 22 starting at Youngstown, New York, and finishing at Balmy Beach, Toronto, a total of 35 miles across lake Ontario. The DRP flag will be flown from their boat on the crossing. There are eight teams competing in this event and they are committed to raise $20,000 for the Down Syndrome Society. ax The Durham team members are committed to raise at least $200 each and have been practising since the beginning of June. Environmental activists invade council A war of statistics between environmentalists and nuclear power advocates broke out at Pickering council last week, but its final outcome will be decided by the provincial environment ministry. The issue is the possible contamination of drinking water by a spill of tritium -laced water from Pickering nuclear plant. Representatives from Ajax's save the waterfront committee came to council with a 65 -page report opposing the plan to enlarge the Ajax water plant on the lakefront. It's the same report they've been circulating to Ajax council, the region and the province's environment ministry over the last two years. They object to a water supply plant so close. to the nuclear plant and to the outflow pipe from the York -Durham sewer line. They featured last week's tritium spill in their presentation to council — presenting several pages of charts on tritium levels, and extracts from a book called Deadly Deceit which criticises standards and practices in the nuclear power industry. Representatives from the Pickering nuclear plant countered with equally voluminous reports from the Atomic Energy Control Board and results of tests which show no relation between waterborne tritium and birth defects.

The plan was started two years ago by several Whitevale residents and Pickering's historic architectural committee. The plan would establish standards of construction and design to help preserve the character of the northern hamlet. It came within a hair's breadth of approval but was derailed when many residents complained they wanted to be exempt. For many weeks in May and June, residents for and against the plan appeared at Pickering council, resulting in the town cancelling a July OMB approved hearing. Instead, Pickering council voted last week to establish a citizen's committee made up of residents on both sides of the issue. Members will consider the design guidelines, and report back to council in October. The committee will give proportional representation to the 20 residents who want to be exempt, and approximately 50 residents who like the plan. Local Councillor Enrico Pistritto said the involvement of the exempt residents could j result in changes which would make them want to be part of the plan. Old Frenchman's Bay area can modernize soon One of Pickering's smallest and most unique neighborhoods will have a chance at a facelift in the near future. About 40 small homes and cottages were built years ago on the east shore of Frenchman's Bay along Front Road and Browning Avenue. Roadways are narrow, lots are small, and all the dwellings are different shapes and designs. The area has been in a planning limbo for years. Because houses generally do not meet the standards of existing zoning, residents have not been able to get building permits to modernize and improve. Last year, the tiny enclave got water and sewer services for the first time. This year, the town plans to change the zoning to legalize the smaller homes and lot sizes, and open the door for improvements. The new zoning provisions were introduced in a public meeting at Pickering council last week and will come before council in the fall. Planners stressed that the new standards would take into consideration the character of the area, allowing smaller lots and reduced setbacks. Residents who appeared or wrote letters said they welcomed the chance to modernize, but did not want to see townhouses or multi- family units.

Pickering holds line on firefighting economies A plan to have the Ontario Fire Marshal report on Pickering's fire fighting services and response times has been put on the back burner by referring it to budget committee. In April, a campaign by Councillor Kip Van Kempen culminated in a council request for the report and reinstatement of funds to the fire department which had been cut by last year's budget committee. But when the Fire Marshal's response to the request came to council this week, councillors decided it should be referred back to the budget committee and the town fire chief. No procedure has been passed by council to put out tenders on a new fire hall: Public Library gets its extra $50,000 Public Library Chairman Dave Farr has been successful in gaining a $50,000 overexpenditure from Pickering council in order to buy more materials for the library this year. He appeared at council last week, arguing the funds were needed after cuts were made in this year's budget. Councillors g anted the request, saying the new library board had no input in forming its budget and members were showing fiscal responsibility in their management of the library system. Pre -tendering process set for ice arena Plans for Pickering's new $3.5 million ice surface will move ahead to the pre -tendering stage this summer. Council approved the process at its August meeting. Pre -tendering is a process used to qualify contractors before they submit tenders on large projects such as the ice rink. Pickering boater had brush with death The all -too -frequent fate of summer drowning almost got Pickering canoeist Kevin 'White, 34, Saturday at Pigeon Lake northwest of Peterboro.

As early as 4,000 B.C., the ancient Egyptians developed a special fondness for eye makeup. Today, cosmetics are used by both men and women. Cosmetics not only include eye makeup, but also skin lotions, deodorants, hair products, shaving cream, and aftershave lotions. Most cosmetics are safe when used correctly. However, they can cause problems for contact lens wearers. Common cosmetic ingredients include surfactants, natural or synthetic colors, preservatives, abrasives, beeswax, iron oxides, alcohol, mineral oil and perfurnes. These ingredients can lead to lens deposits, ocular irritation or allergic reactions. Deposits Several cosmetic ingredients bind to lens materia:s to cause deposits or discoloration. The pigments used in eye shadow can form discrete spots of color. Sometimes the spots become rusty due to oxidation of metallic colors. Mascara deposits appear as a dark smudge. They are formed by flaking mascara that gets into the eye or from rubbing the lens against eyelashes during insertion or removal. Cosmetics also play a role in lens discoloration. Common sources are liquid face makeup, skin lotions and hair products. Oil-based cosmetics and makeup removers can form an oily film on the lens. 'Lanolin' is a common ingredient in hand Mons that is especially difficult to remove from RGP lenses. Oily deposits reduce lens wettability and increase discomfort. ft is very difficult to remove cosmetic deposits, so prevention is the best defence. Always -Yuash hands with soap and water before toudting the lens. Clean lenses every day with a wrfactant cleaner to prevent the buildup of all deposits, including those caused by cosmetics. Irritation Symptoms such as redness, mild irritation, itching and burning are often attributed to the lens care system. However, these symptoms are sometimes caused by cosmetics. Several cosmetic ingredients are irritating to ocular tissue. Length -building mascaras often contain fibers that are very irritating if they get into the eye. Powders, such as eyeshadows, blush or face powder can also cause ocular discomfort. In addition, cosmetics often contain preservatives, such as thimerosal and chlorhexidine, that are ocular irritants. Allergies Just as patients can become sensitized to antimicrobial agents in contact lens solutions, they can also become sensitized to preservatives in cosmetics. Cosmetic allergies are a common problem among both lens wearers and non -lens wearers. Methylparaben, the most commonly used cosmetic preservative, is known to cause allergic reactions. Products containing 'natural' ingredients are not always free of allergic reactions. The natural ingredient 'Condo butter' often causes allergic reactions. Many products include allergy claims in their labeling. 'Hypo- allergenic' means the product does not contain known allergens. Allergy or dermatologist tested simply means the product was subjected to allergy testing or dermatologist evaluation, not that the results were acceptabie. Infection Ocular infections are sometimes caused by contaminated cosmetics. One study found that 43 per cent of eye cosmetics were positive for bacteria and 12 per cent for iinga- Dr. Kevin r OPTOME RIST • Dispensing of contact lenses and glasses • Evening and Saturday appointments available • Complete Family Eye Care S Harwood Ave. S., Ajax' This is especially true for mascara. Most mascaras contain preservative systems that are effective for only a limited time. Microorganisms attach to the applicator brush each time it touches the eyelashes and are transferred to the mascara when the applicator is replaced in the container. With time, the microorganisms can overwhelm the preservative system and grow to high levels. One study found that some mascaras become contaminated in only two weeks of normal use. Mascara should be replaced every three months to prevent infections. Damage to ocular tissue increases the risk of infection. Corneal abrasions are caused when the mascara applicator is accidentally placed in the eye. Some women use sharp objects, such as straight pins, to separate their lashes if the mascara has clumped. Finally, patients with an ocular infection should replace their eye makeup, especially mascara, to avoid reinfection. It is likely the patient has spread the infection -causing microorganism to their cosmetics. Using these products after the condition has cleared may possibly result in reinfection. A PKN.

Wee Watch, she says, offers the warmth and intimacy of a home setting, complying strictly with all daycare legislation set out by the provincial government. The agency was established by Susan McLeod to serve the growing daycare needs of families in Ajax and Pickering, since 1987. Catering to the growth and development of children, each Wee Watch home provides a safe, comfortable and stimulating atmosphere for children, says McLeod. As well as looking after a child's physical health and well-being, an interest in learning through play and creative activities is encouraged. Each home will only accept a small number of children. This offers each child personal and individual attention. Within the natural home setting, they can also be more flexible and accommodating to children's unique daily routines, she says. All Wee Watch providers are carefully screened and trained so parents can be sure their children are in safe hands. In addition to requiring current medical examinations, safety inspections of the residence are conducted on an ongoing basis. Thorough reference and police investigations have also been made for each provider. The agency also provides a reliable back-up service in case of a provider illness or holidays. Workshops are organized for providers on an ongoing basis in all areas of nutrition, first-aid and creative play, says McLeod. Summer fun with providers, parents and children at Wee Watch Picnic at Petticoat Creek July 9 She realizes the commitment and hard work it takes to become a Wee Watch provider. The staff is dedicated to supporting them in every area of child care "not only that we visit each home every month, but we are available any time to assist our providers," says Mcleod. The agency also acts as a resource for new parents when needed. Both parents and providers are kept informed by bimonthly newsletters.

Change Cherry said his understanding was that management will present another position. However, he admitted being unaware of any details. Marder also refused to relate any specifics. Union staff have been without a contract since Dec. 31 and in a legal strike position since July 25. Reduced financing from the province and region — who split an 80/20 CAS financial formula — has had a devastating effect. Marder says the CAS is hard-pressed to continue its current service levels. It has to pare $700,000 in costs to meet its reduced budget for 1992. Salaries remain the key issue of dispute. Union staff have not been offered any wage increases by management, which has only Pledged to maintain the "status quo." Pay cut Salaries are currently pegged between $18,000 and $46,000. Marder said management staff had to take a 2 per cent pay cut because of reduced grants. CAS branch offices in Ajax and Uxbridge closed since the strike began.

All that has been found can only form a basis for love and fellowship between Jews, Hindus and everyone else in the world. These things are important for us to know and understand, for there is now a Hindu temple here in Pickering -Ajax — and of course there are a number of Jewish temples in the vicinity. So far in this series no essential, basic reason for religious bigotry and conflict has been discovered. Next in this series the Zoroastrian (Parsee) Faith will be exarmned.

SEE AD BELOW" I Now open to the public: the new Civic del Sol Perhaps the best way to top off a fun-ta hive Honda Civic is with no top at all. With that intriguing thought in mind, the Honda engineers took on the delightful task of making an already -exhilarating car even more so. Their inspired response? The first Civic ever designed from the ground up — for driving with the top off. Honda Civic del Sol. The contemporary aerodynamic lines keep no secrets about the excitement in store for you. Civic del Sol is everything an open -topped two- seater from Honda should be. But the real fun comes in discovering it all for yourself. Stow the top in the trunk (you'll still have room for the weekend's luggage), then slip behind the wheel. Touch a button, and the rear window glides down and away. You are now ready to experience for the first time the sheer joy of open air driving — Honda style. Turn the key, and the 16 - valve engine comes to life with At a hint of the performance to come. As you accelerate briskly through traffic, you become aware of a remarkable new fad of life. In Civic del Sol, even driving to the office will be a rewarding experience. While the decision to take up residence behind the steering wheel of a del Sol is more a matter of the free -spirited heart, the fad that del Sol is a Honda affords the mind ample food for thought. Reassuring thoughts about traditional Hada craftsmanship, reliability, the 5 year/100,000 km "No Small Print" Warranty and driver's side airbag supplementary restraint system. Sporting thoughts of its independent 4 -wheel double wishbone suspension design with gas -pressurised shock aWabers for smooth cornering and nimble handling. The precise "road feel' of rackand phiion steering (power -assisted on Si models and on S with automatic transmission). The smooth -shifting fun of its 5 - speed manual or available 4 - speed automatic transmission. And power -assisted ventilated front disc/rear drum brakes (4 - wheel disc on Si) to help assure fade -free, straight-line stops. There are comforts well worth considering, too. Ergonomically contoured bucket seats help reduce fatigue, while their generous side bolsters hold you firmly in place during "spirited" driving. The steering column adjusts to your personal driving position. And the human - engineering instrument panel puts all vital instruments and controls within easy reach and view. You have the convenience of power windows, dual remote - control mirrors (power on Si models), intermittent front wipers, a digital quartz clock and a rear window defroster. Even the aerodynamic design of del Sol plays a comforting role by helping to reduce wind noise and buffeting in the cockpit when the top is removed. Now that both your head and heart agree that dei Sol is an exciting choice, you still have to make one more decision. Will it be ce: Soi Si or del Soi S? Both share all the features mentioned thus far. The difference is in how much sport and luxury Mill find under the removable roof_ Civic del Sol Si is powered by a 1.6 -litre, 16 -valve overhead cam engine with variable valve timing that produces an incredible 125 Honda horsepower. In keeping with its more sporting performance, del Sol Si also comes with larger, low - profile P185/60R 14 All Season radial tires, lightweight alloy wheels, and a beefy 21 mm stabilizer bar. Plus the del Sol Si features the added knaay of power assist for the steering and power adjustable mirrors. Motivation for del Sol S comes from a 1.5-11hre 16-vah e. overhead cam engine rated at 102 horsepower. It combines performance and economy in a way that only a Honda can. And, if you specify the qWW 4 -speed automatic with electronicaDy ox*oled lock-up torque owArte; power -assisted steering is also part of the page. Civic del Sol S or Si, the delightful decision is yours.

Mario Rico of Factory Mattress in Pickering admits he's pretty much seen and done it all in his line of business since 1976. That has included designing an 8 -foot -long mattress for the nearly 7 -foot -tall thin man a couple of years ago. Or firming up a foam mattress for a Whitby woman who insisted her custom- made bed was too soft. "I made it as hard as this floor," Rico recalled, pointing to a concrete floor below him. "1 don't know how she slept on it. But it was exactly what she wanted." There was the oyer -6 -ft. -in -diameter round mattress that's on display in the Bayly Street store. Plus other mattresses of assorted shapes and sizes for houseboats, cottages, trucks and sleepers — all custom-made to suit a particular need. Custom work is an important part of what Robert Ocampo, Mario and Stella Rico do at Factory Mattress. It usually takes between three and five days to manufacture a custom order on the premises. A custom-built mattress starts with a first -quality heavy -gauge spring. A plastic mesh is placed over the spring to protect the material placed on top of the mattress. Next comes two or three layers of upholstery — then one or two inches of foam. Finally a plain or quilted cover is placed around the entire assembly. Each mattress can be adjusted for firmness during its manufacture. Foam mattresses are manufactured differently, of course. Mario Rico's previous work with a large brand-name mattress manufacturer taught him much more than a thing or two about succeeding in the business. "11e only use. quality Roods," he said. "And we use the same suppliers as large mattress companies. W'e buy directly from the manufacturer." "We do make a mattress comparable to brand names," Rico added. "The only difference is the name." Another important difference is price. Most major department stores have enormous "markups" on the products they sell, Rico said. Factory Mattress prices are what you're likely to see as major -sale prices in other larger locations. 'Our prices are good," Rico said. "People sometimes even ask for a discount. NVe're usually willing to comply." In addition to custom-made and regular foam and spring mattresses, Factory Mattress also sell and manufacture box springs, foundations, pillow,, mattrf• Unit 1 over the Christmas holidays.

In the future, the store also plans to carry futons as well. Factory Mattress offers local customers free delivery and free disposal of an old mattress — when pre -arranged. Factory Mattress recently moved to its new and larger location on 1698 Bayly St. said. "The company is rededicating itself to this community." "In the time we've been in this business locally, there have been at least rive or six competitors who've come and gone,' Mario Rico added. Factory Mattress is at 1698 Bayly St. Unit 1 (east of Brock Road) in Pickering.
