Asbestos problems pose no health danger, study finds Although there is an asbestos problem in Ajax town buildings, it poses no health dangers, says a report to Ajax Town Council. Ajax authorized a study of all facilities earlier this year to determine the existence and condition of all asbestos materials, as per provincial legislation. The study was done by T.S. Health and Safety Consultants Inc. of Mississauga. There have been a number of asbestos scares in the greater Toronto area, including the temporary closing of several schools. But Ajax Director of Human Resources Richard Parisotto told the town's budget advisory committee Nov. 12, that while he has some concerns, the situation is under control and poses no health problems. The next phase of the program involves the preparation of tenders and T.S. Health and Safety has been retained by council. They will prepare necessary specifications, meet contractors to review sites and provide an analysis of tender bids received. Ajax will be billed $2,a82 plus mileage for their services. Council dickered with the total fee. Parisotto agreed the bill was Islightly higher than normal but pointed out that any work done with asbestos requires the Cold Facts O.rttAW NO" PEer+ MMM DEuvets sus SrrtrarW.

The 1992 budget included SSW for 'other grants' and to date, nothing has been charged to the account. Council used to allot :1,000 to the account each year but halved it several years ago. The cost of the Multicultural Council's Expansion '92 program is estimated at about 550,000. The group has already received a $30,000 grant from the provincial government. The budget committee also received an informal request for money from Pitch In, Ontario but deferred the matter to the 1993 budget. specialists. Acting budget eommittee chairman Roger Anderson assured member that all firms do indeed include a charge for their mileage. Fawcett named new Ajax separate school trustee Ajax resident William Fawcett was appointed as an English language sections trustee for the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board last week. Fawcett replaces Judy Feeny who resigned the position last month. The appointment was effective Nov. 16 and will continue for the balance of the electoral term (Nov. 1994). More than 40 applications were received by the board from those interested in the position. Fawcett is described as a long- time Ajax resident who is a father of three. Ajax council deny $200 grant Ajax's budget advisory committee has denied a request from the Multicultural Council of Oshawa/Durham for a grant for the group's Expansion '92 project. Ajax treasurer Greg Kirkbride recommended a $200 grant from the 1992 budget but several councillors seemed hesitant to agree. Committee chairman Roger Anderson suggested the grant be given from the 1993 budget, but Ward 1 Councillor Frank Schaper warred 'we have to be exceptionafly carefd' in giving money.

Beginning last week local officers decided to use a new tactic in their fight against the provincial government. Police will put on the uniform hats they have refused to wear since Oct. 28 and instead will 'use the utmost discretion' when issuing tickets for speeding and other minor traffic offences. The effort is designed to strike directly at the Ontario government which receives traffic ticket revenue, aeording to police association president Dale Allan. Police forces across the Greater Toronto Area are protesting the province's use -of - force legislation that requires a report to be filed every time an officer draws a gun. nited vway 1A 1992 CAMPAIGN 1 Pkcttared above are Employee Coordinators from some of the local industries ftwolved in the United Way CampOS- left to fit: jfteam ftwmwd.

Tido local scouts earn top honors Sir Baden-Powel would be proud. Two Pickering boy scouts from the OWASCO District (serving Pickering and Ajax) have been honored with the Chief Scout Award — the highest award in scouting. Steve Lawrence, a member of the 1st Glendale Troop, received his award Nov. 9. Jay Piper, a scout with the 1st Bay Ridges Troop, was honored Nov. 17. "It's an award a boy starts to work towards the moment he starts scouting," said Bruce Heathy, the 1st Glendale Troop Scooter. "It's a 4 -year program and it's not easy." Scouts must first master all other badges and achievements (split into bronze, silver and gold levels) to earn the Pathfinder Award before trying for the Chief Scout Award. That award covers four categories: outdoor (winter camping, environmental knowledge, etc.); citizenship (expertise with Canadian geography, government etc.); service (50 hours serving the community); and personal development. There are more than 300 (ages 10-14) scouts in the OWASCO District, with an average of 3-5 scouts achieving the Chief Scout Award each year. 3 appointed to health council The Durham Region District Health 1660 Kinvton Road Ease, Pickering, Ont.

McLeans on Westney Road is a resurrection — or more accurately a continuation — of a bygone time when novelty gift and toy shops were fixtures in every neighborhood and community. Those stores were filled with fascinating trinkets and interesting novelties that were curious, fun and always inexpensive. Enjoyable afternoons could- be spent browsing through such shops — trying out various gizmos, gadgets and unique games and toys. McLeans remains that kind of place. It's where you can see such unheralded novelties such as 10 -color pens, wild wire, bubble necklaces, glow -in -the - dark 'gimp", Madonna whistles, plastic snakes and giant insects, skeleton rings, boppin' burgers, invisible ink game books, the robot boomerang and many other delightful treats. It's also a place filled with discounted T-shirts, sweat shirts, soapstone and marble carvings, board games, puzzles, clastic toys, Christmas ornaments and lights, souvenir mugs, pennants and much more..

It's included everything from a sawed-off shotgun, more than 30 pistols including automatic weapon handguns, pellet guns, a switchblade and a hoard of new and noted -out rifles. However, during a press conference at Durham Region Polices property office on Nov. 12, Staff Sgt. Sandy Ryrie admitted police would stip like to get their hands on even more. "We feel there's a lot more weapons out there," he said. "likely even heavier -powered than these." CPR course Nov. 21 Register now for a 4 -hour Heart Saver CPR cotase offered by Durham Save -a -Heart at a special rate of $20 during Save- a-Lfe Saruday on Nov. 21, Cali 666-0995 to register. Firearms Officer Charmaine Morrissey concurred. "Unfortunately were not getting the ones wed really like to." She listed 357 Magnums and Uri ass -auk rifles as weapons of choice for many criminals — so it's unlikely police will see many of these such weapons turned in during the amnesty. Still the current number of guns collected is impressive and police are pleased with the public's response. Most have come from people who have had them around their homes for years. However, many are becoming increasingly concerned that criminals may break into their homes and steal them, Ryrie said. "We're very pleased," Ryrie told The Bay Neuss, referring to public response so far. "h gets them out of the streets and off the streets. As long as it has not been used in an offence, well take it in — no questions asked.- The sked"The firearms amnesty is only the second time the federal government has announced such a plan. During another amnesty in 1979, Durham Region Police collected an types Of military ammunition, according to Ryrie. The current amnesty extends to Nov. 30. While not all of the weapons are illegal, certain handguns require permits while others like military assault and sawed-off shotguns are prohibited. Police have also collected a significant amount of ammunition as well. These have included shells, vintage world war ammunition, flares and the like. Specially -trained Durham Region Police officers and defence ministry personnel have made several trips to local homes to identify, diffuse and remove certain pieces of ammunition, Ryrie said. Morrissey has received a steady stream of telephone calls since the amnesty was announced 'My 'phones' have been ringing off the hooks," she said. People are advised to call police before bringing in their weapons. They will be given instructioris on how to transport these guns. Ryrie said people can also can in to register their weapons. 'rhe best thing to do if they're in doubt is to call the firearms registration office; he said.

Ajax Family Festival raises $10,000 Official Leader of the Opposition at Queen's Park, Lyn McLeod was pleasantly surprised when she came to Pickering last week Local liberals hosted a reception for her at Regalis Restaurant in Pickering and were pleased with an attendance that was 20 per cent higher than projected. 1 had the pleasure of introducing Lyn and everyone was so captivated with her that they stayed until the end. Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Regional Councillor Rick Johnson from Pickering and Deputy Mayor Roger Anderson and Councillor Scott Crawford of Ajax were all in attendance at the Ajax -Pickering Board of Trade annual "Touch of Class" evening last week. It is great to see Wayne Arthurs at the helm and a smiling face at these major events again. Also attending were our federal MP Rene Soetens and MPP Jim Wiseman. My past local and regional council colleague, Joe Atkinson, acted as our Master of Ceremonies and was eloquent as ahvays. This year's chairperson, Joan Wideman, made it all happen, through her leadership and a fine commiree consisting of Ralph Bradley, Debbie Bowins, Joan Alfrey, Doug Welton, Margaret Corner, Kirk Dick, Bruce Palanik, Ozzie Tanner, Leslie Whyte and yours truly. As in the pas, a contribution will be made to the Ajax and Pickering Generai Hospitai expansion fund. The Ajax Family Festival and Trade Show presentation evening saw the committee hand their profits back to the community this month. I had the pleasure of again chairing the event this year; bur I can assure you: that it is my committee that deserves the credit for its success. The event raised more than $10,000 but set aside sufficient funds in reserves and made contributions from $1,000 to $3,000 each to four worthy recipients. They were the Ajax Seniors Friendship Club, a new youth project through our Ajax Community Centre, the Ajax -Pickering Hospital expansion fund, and the Ajax McDonald's Paediatric Playroom fund for our hospital. Thanks to Mayor Jim Witty and hospital president Bruce Cliff for their attendance and also thanks to corporate sponsor Runnymede, McDonalds Ajax — who did too many things to mention — and also to LOFB Baya+ocd. The Festival has turned back to the community $81,150 since it started, including $67,150 to our Ajax and Pickering General Hospital. If you're like me, you either attended a Remembrance Day service or paised on Nov. 11 to remember those who gave their lives so we may enjoy our freedom. I :vas one of hundreds who attended the Ajax Remembrance Day service at Branch 322. it was good to see so many familiar faces too numerous to mention. It was particularly good to see past Ajax Mayor Bill Mclean, who has ak+�rdys been a great Legion supporter, in attendance. Good to see you again, Bill!

PICKERING LIBRARY Friday, November 27th 7:15 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. DON'T MISS IT! t snow wru' 1 rr: t Fireball proposal set to rise from ashes By Dan Me= A proposal for a Finch Avenue and Dixie Road firehall will rise from the ashes of a previous council defeat next month. During a public meeting in the town hall main committee room on Nov. 13, Regional Councillor Kip Van Kempen served notice he will re -introduce a motion at a Dec. 21 meeting asking council to support a previously entered bid to construct the facility. It was also announced during the meeting that Toronto Structural Group Inc., the contractor that offered the lowest bid, will extend its agreed price. The builder will honor its $809,000 price until the end of December, 1992. All members of council except Regional Councillor Rick Johnson attended the meeting. The town manager, supply and �ervices manager, fire chief and a representative of consultants Totten, Sims, Hubicld were also On hand. The meeting served as an information session- Ught was shed on why consultants M.M. Dillon selected Dixie Road and Finch Avenue location as a firehall site five years ago. Town staff also explained the tendering process used to select a contractor for the project. However, after sitting through more than an hour-anda-half of staff explanations and powical discussion, residents who ultimately got their chance to speak called on eaatcll to act. I think the leadership of the own could be called into by not proceeding with firehall," said resident Card An unnamed resident of truce Hill agreed. 'This lacks of politics; he said after tening to councillors haggle er the issue. "You gays are tying political football with _ w Fire Chief Steve Stewart rlier encplained the need for a and Pickering firehall. He said is essential if the department Ped to be able to effectively RXW to emergenoes. Stewart said the generally cepted standard response time e time that a cal is received d the fire department arrives the scene) in urban locations between four and fourand-a- If minutes. However, in certain west -end neighborhoods it takes Pickering firefighters more than five minutes to arrive, according to the chief. It's a situation that will only worsen as the town grows, Stewart warned. He added that it is imperative for firefighters to arrive at the scene of a fire in less than six minutes. "Were not going to endanger ourselves overly," he said. "We can see what we're doing. In order for tis to be effective we ve got to get there in that time." However, a response time between six and nine minutes could spell disaster, Stewart warned. -What youve created is a bomb," he said, explaining collected heat could cause an expk)§on by opening a door in a home where a fire has been raging that fig. "It becomes extremely dangerous-" Stewart said a station at Dixie Road and Finch Avenue would allow local firefighters to respond to urban fires within the accepted standard response time. Totten, Sims, Hubicki consultant Barry Knowles said his firm stands by its original tendering for the firehall construction. Some councillors — particularly Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner — raised concern over the credibility of the contractor selected for the project. While Knowles admitted previous references for the company were not positive, he defended a decision to hire Toronto Structural Group and employ a site construction supervisor wI don't think you would cane up with a better trice than this fif the project was re-tenderecl>,w Knowles said of the compannys bw tender He ocpiained it is not unusual fa projects to employ an onsite construction supervisor to 011ersee work or for cm*attors to receive poor recommendations from past empbftm Knowles also defended a decision not to pre -qualify bidders for this particular P*& The firehall construction "doesn't require a whole lot of ecpertise: he said. "It's just a basic building. NW would want to open the door to just about any bidder out there." In fact, more than 35 contractors entered bids for the project. A total of 12 were seriously considered. Bids ranged from $809,000 to $1,990,000. None of the lowest three bidders received positive references from past employers, Knowles said. It was explained that the constriction of the firehall would take 22 weeks. However, the work would take longer if it were to begin in the winter.
