Her age was a well -kept family secret. She eaves daughter Barbara, son Barn, and two grar&hildren. The Pickering resident was a former winner of Ontario's Centennial medal and the Town of Pickering's Citizenship Award. Before her death, she had been working on a project with town council to sell off some of her 6 -acre property on Liverpool Road. The money earned would be used towards the consmiction of a swimming pool for the handicapped. Cook spent 48 years of her life working with focal Girl Guides and worked with handicapped children for 30 years. She had a particular affection for youngsters during a half -century of community work. She virtually took on any and every job offered with Girl Guides, including that of Bay Ridges Commissioner. She was most recently a Guider in charge of a guide unit. Affectionately known as "Mike,' Cook pioneered a children's special swim program 30 years ago for youngsters with disabilities. Thirty years later that program still runs every Wednesday evening at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Many people fondly recall how Cook taught both able-bodied and handicapped youngsters in her own backyard swimming pool. "She was really interested in making sure the special children in the community had an opportunity to learn to swim," recalled Sharon Milton of Pickering's community services department. Milton had worked with Cook in Girl Guiding and on numerous other occasions through the Town of Pickering. 'She was one of the most dynamic persons in the community -1. "Whenever she wanted something, she made sure it became a reality. We're definitely going to miss her." Joyce Lawlor, a longtime friend and a former neighbor, described Cook as a wonderful person to the community. -We've lost a great one," Lawlor said.

Former Ajax Mayor Bill McLear., now library board chairman, made a presentation to Ajax Town Council Jan. 4, outlining the board's pians for the next three years. The first step begins *this year u;th the relocation of the admiristration and technical services departments to Ieased premises in the comrn ,ty. Step two is the opening of the A4 cornmur,ity branch at Westney Road. and Magill Drive in 1994. In 1995, McLean hopes :o open a So::th Ajax corn=_—nity branch to serve residents !Mng south of Bayly Street. T he third proposed new brancn wa: serve residents in ro,'_h Aux and s scheduled :o open :n 1996. There are current'.y two libraries :he ^. ai.. facility and the Pickering Village branch. The proposed central branch would be built when a new municipal hall is constructed. McLean told council that Bill McLean expansion has been a goal of the libra•y board since 198 7 He pointed out that abray faclities have not been expanded since 1975. The population of Ajax has increased drarnatically since :hen and so has library useage, McLear: said. Ba: library, fad''::es and services `:ave not kept ,-p to the derna nc. 'We be':ieve you wit: agree 16" Queen St. Port P`rry Settlement House at',; ,.,-'4 tSho s that the increases are both rewarding in the sense that patrons are using the library—and yet they are staggering in the sense that the facilities are being strained to the limits," he told council. The goal of the community branches is to better serve Aiax neighborhoods and provide library services to the majority of residents within 1.5 km of their homes, Mclean said. By moving the administration and technical departments, the library board hopes to relieve congestion and overcrowded conditions at the main branch. The renovated space will provide a large, r illi purpose roo n, .:sed for hbrary prog=s and study space. It could also be used for cont:. unity meeting space and co::id prove to be a source of revenue for the library. .McLean told council that budgeted costs for the library expansion will be provided to council 'in the next week or so.' in time for Ajax Town Councii budget meetings which get Lmder way next mor.::,.

The centre, which began operating 16 months ago, provided recreational, support and education programs for teens in Ajax and Pickering. Social Development Council Executive Director Joan Skelton predicted the temporary demise of the facility last week, explaining $10,000 was needed to keep it running. In a press release issued Monday, Barbara Black Centre board chairman Catherine Walker said expected government cash had not been provided. Funding was needed to pay staff salaries. Walker vowed to continue to seek secure funding sources and praised the efforts of Barbara Black Centre staff and vohunteers. "Much thanks must go to the dedicated staff of the centre, the volunteers, the Town of Pickering staff and the youth themselves for making the centre the success it has become," she said. "We consider this a temporary setback, for I know I speak for the other members of the board when I say we are dedicated to the provision of quality, comprehensive care of our young people." �/2 PRICE Appetizers in our Lounge Mon. - Wed. 3 pm - closing ,Expires Jan. 27th/93 100 Westney Rd.

The police chief said once the dog's training is completed, Kane's job will include such tasks as building searches and location of missing persons. The dog won't be trained to "sniff -out" drugs or explosives. The dog's special abilities will be an invaluable aid to area police, according to the police chief.

At the Nov. 23 committee -of - the -whole meeting, council approved a zoning by-law amendment allowing for limited development in the community, an issue that has been going on since the early 1970s. At that time. 60 residents packed council chambers and politicians heard from 14 delegations during a marathon. 3 -1 -lour session.

That limited development in the Ajax neighborhood would happen was not in question, but a few last minute changes orchestrated by Regional Councillor Susan Dulny to limit building restrictions did not go over well with some of her fellow councilors. Ward 5 Councillor Pat Brown. wose wart .nc:,:ces Picker:7i; Beach, caet `e changes totally .-e res d s o' Pice-:. "We're Serious About Your Fitness" limited development in Pickering Beach balconies and decks, and the town could require a site plan for all proposed development and a $2,000 bond for grading work. Monday night, after council heard from 11 residents and landowners, several amendments were made. The minimum lot size was retained and site plans, for the first year at least, will be required for all potential developers. An amendment that privacy of homeowners be taken into consideration by staff when deliberating on site plans was also carried. But two changes moved by Dulny split the councillors into two sharply divided camps. Both motions were car. led 4- UZ ;T�,K "PAY AS YOU GO" FITNESS & AEROBICS NO GIMMICKS' NO STRINGS ATTACHED!

The first was the removal of restrictions on garage locations and balconies and decks. Dulny saw these restrictions "as a complete waste of time and a duplication of the process" and said it was unnecessary under the guidelines. It was Dulny's second amendment — a matter of 24 inches — that, as Witty noted, "was the straw that broke the camel's back." Council had decided in November, after considerable debate, to limit building heights to 30 ft. On Monday, Dulny, with support from Witty, Jim McMaster (Ward 4) and Scott Crawford (Ward 2) bumped the height limit to 32 feet. Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish, along with Frank Schaper (Ward 1), took Brown's side against the new amendments. Schaper, saying "we've gone on too long," did support the amended motion in the end. Parish called the recommendation agreed upon in, November "the best possible package" and asked that council re -consider. "We had something fair, and then, at the last minute to tamper with it is ill-considered," he said. "Why monkey around with it?" The motion passed 5-2 and Dulny said it was "time to stop squawking" and get on with it. "The people of Pickering Beach have been suffering under restrictions for too long." Many of the public delegations liked the council recommendations, but several others still saw problems, and that was before council made the changes. The issue, which reached a peak last year when council approved sanitation sewers (existing houses use septic tanks) for residents, has just +An more steps to go before it can finally be approved.

The Bayly Street workout studio unexpectedly closed its doors Jan. 5 and it appears the owners have abandoned the facility. The club now sits as an empty shell — workout equipment and sauna facilities have been completely removed. According to building owner Harvey Puppi of Supernova Construction Ltd., Avalon club owner Rick Sobotka gave no indication of his intention to vacate the building. Puppi was just as surprised as club members that the operation had been abandoned. "He's been strugg';ng .`or two years," Puppi to*-; '�,e Ba News. "Front •-e ... -av `:e moved into this place he never paid 100 per cent of what he owed us." The landlord said he had held financial negotiations with the club owner in an effort to continue the operation. Puppi said he believed there was no pressure from the landlord for Sobotka to leave. "We never threatened to lock him out. He didn't have to leave," he said. "I don't think this should reflect on the industry. He's just one 'bad apple.' This was one guy with one club who maybe over- extended himself." However, all may not be lost for those who still hold valid Avalon memberships. The operators of the Whitby Racquet and Fitness Club plan to re -open the Pickering studio and have agreed to honor Avalon memberships at its four clubs, inchiding one in Ajax. Those who visit the Avalon club are receiving notices from new management, extending an invitation to four other clubs. Mark Connon, owner of the Whitby Racquet and Fitness Club, said he hopes to have the former Avalon studio partially equipped by Monday and fully operating a week later. "We're honoring all (Avalon) membership cards at our other four facilities until we get this thing straightened up." he told The Bay News. Connon said he's heard from between, 400 and 500 Avalon members since he extended his offer. Connon said he'll establish some kind of scale that will give .hose people who hold valid Avalon members^ips some type of credit towards the purchase of a membership to his clubs. However, most of the Avalon members paid "up front" six months to a year in advance. Connon admitted it will be impossible to compensate these people fully. "In this economy, an investment of $300 or $400 is a lot of money to people," he said. Consumers should be aware that they have the legal option to pay health club memberships monthly and should not consider paying up front for their own protection., he said. Pickering resident Della "owes alerted The Bay News to the fact that the Avalon club had unexpectedly dosed is doors. "As far as we can find out they have.. filed for baricuptcy," she told The Bay 683-3474 F7 Tue's Night All You Can Eat Buffet 5 pm - 9 pm Adults 58.95 Children 4-1 04.95 Under- 4 F: �T FKF_''F News during a telephone call last week That fact was quickly confirmed by a call to the federal consumer and corporate affairs ministry on Jan. 11. The Avalon club owners have not yet filed for bankruptcy, said a ministry official. Lowes said she had been an Avalon club member for approximately six months. Her husband had recently purchased a $160. 4 -day -a -week membership. However, *,e fitness fitness cab dosed down before he ever had a chance to use :t. In addition to the members .:p offer extended by Cor.r.on, Avalon patrons have a second option.. Chet Dixon, owner o: Don Warrener's Marta: Arts Academy.:.n Picker:^:g, says heLl also honor Avalon memberships. The Warrener Academy's facilities include a small universal gym, bench press, stairmaster and free weights. Dixon admitted he doesn't expect to be overwhelmed by Avalon members wanting to take advantage of his offer. He estimated thane are approximately 2,500 Avalon chub members. "If I get out 100 people to work out and train I'd be amazed." he confessed.

V*1 18, PiciMng, CWano 11 R'.q6 Additional libraries needed in Ajax An exciting plan to dramatically improve library services in the Town of Ajax reads hike a best seller. Library board chairman Bill McLean outlined a 3 -year scheme during a council meeting on Jan. 4. that would see the creation of a new and improved central branch in addition to three other community Libraries by 1996. While it's an ambitious goal, most would agree that such enhancements are long overdue. Incredibly the last town hbrary facility was added in 1975, according to the former Ajax mayor. Since then only two locations — the one at the town hall ,and another in Pickering Village — serve the town's entire 50,000 plus population. If you've visited the town's central branch and compared it to the marvellous main facility in Pickering, then no further argument in favor of improving library services is needed. The Ajax central branch is spartan — severely undersized and limited. Its outdated appearance serves as an embarrassing testament to a bygone era in the town. The place ought to be declared a historic landmark. Like its Pickering counterpart. the Ajax central branch is a busy place at virtually -.ad times. These days even more so. More residents than ever before are utilizing the services of libraries in today's lean economic times. You're likely to find a lot of unemployed people with their noses buried in a book at a library these days. But libraries are much more than places to borrow books. They provide important :.,.to opportunities and fun for bath iyoung and old. _. ^_>!lloderni:ing and enhandeg the town's nadequate library services obviously �Von't come cheap. But if McLean is korrekt and cods are paid through lot drupes, than Aja: residents won't fed such of a financial bite out of their own It's likely that ora" --`if not most -' :ople would agree to pay the price Alas took an important step 'in odernizing its computer catalogue �eystem at the library last summer. By adopting the library board's 3 -year plan to odernize services In the town, Ajax Oo__ would provide a happy ending to a sad stow. 4" f Atolls 116.0111111124, Jl Also :j�it;+trityl{+lifillNl Ilii AW Appearing to be a scene from a children's storybook, serenity and stillness surround this north Pickering home. Modern machinery makes me mad! I've often wondered if the aggravations which come with modern machinery were supposed to be a part of the deal in making life quick and easy - These everyday contraptions appear to cause more headaches than anything else, and they're everywhere. Over the course of one day I was fortunate enough to run into four or five of the little "suckers." In my own horse, a harmless toaster almost sent the Ajax Fire Department to my house. I mean those light -to -dark boaster dials are deceiving. I place my bread inside, push down the button and wait for it to pop up golden brown. Well, it popped up completely untoasted. So I do the logical thing and adjust the dial. Before I know A there's smoking black toast setting off the fire alarm. As the day continues, my faith in quick and easy machines would be further diminished. As simple as inserting a card might be, nothing is more frustrating than an unwavering bank machine. I was in need of $10 the other day, and to my dismay, 1 ended up with a machine that only gives out money in $20 denominations. If I have to take out more than I need, ru likely end up spending more than needed. Now on to the library. I stack my books in my arms and head for the doors — the automatic doors, the ones which should open with no problems. Unfortunately these doors wait until your nose is almost pressed to the glass An$ela .. GAFFER" before letting you inside. Of course by that time the books have dropped to the ground and are now stuck between the doors. It couldn't get much worse. I only have to make it through the grocery store and 1 can head safely back home. With that thought as my inspiration, l plan for a quick and easy trip. As easy as one, two, three. By the time 1 reach the checkout counter to pay, I have a grand total of three items. One, two, three — right? First the bread, then the butter. Oh, oh, light bulbs. Not just any light bulbs, the kind which have no price tag and must be run through the laser UPC (Universal Price Code) cash register reader. After several tries the cashier finds the item not listed in that memory. There are 20 sour -faced people standing behind me and someone s off running a price check. That was the end of it I would leave without my light bulbs. One item less, I arrive at home in one piece. Of course I'm dying for some aspirin and a little rest and relmaftL My last obstacle was getting a cup of tea. Pour water in the electric kettle, plug in the socket, and presto, a warm brew. 1 couldn't believe how reasstuing it was to know somebody finally did something right. .netters welcome The B:y Mews riWcoaaes Letters to dile EdItoL Letters should bes-11 - to 300 words and are subject to edittng.

That's one of the 1993 predictions offered by Ajax Mayor Jim Witty during an interview with The Boy News last week. Both Witty and Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthxs highlighted what local residents may expect to see in the way of development in both towns this year - A 2 -storey, 500,000 sq. ft. Shopping rnalu known as Durham Centre was proposed by developer Markborough Properties in September 1991. It was projected that the 130- store mall would create approximately 1,000 area fobs. Construction was originally sated to begin the foaming year but Marboroug`: announced a 1 - year delay ri 1992. "I iully expect that Marboro;:gh will star: on its shopping ..a:±z year,' Witty told The Bay !Yews. 'I expect it will be a catalyst for (econor:ic recovery) in :he town. Once - gets steed it win be a cata:yst for other commercai and industria: &%,elopmer- ;--. the area." The Ajax mayor said he will meet with Marborough representatives later this month and expects to hear more details regarding the expected start to the project. Both Arthurs and Witty predict 1993 will be a better economic year for their respective towns. The Pickering mayor listed five development projects that are currently under constriction or are expected to get underway in 1993. These include: The Yorkville Sound building on Granite Court. This company, which manufactures professional sound equipment, will' bring 150 existing ;obs to the town and more than 100,000 additional sq. ft. of industrial/co., mercial space. Construction is and way and an opening is expected this sprng. Lyrnoird Lunber on Hig:'iway 2 and Rosebank Road will be transformed into a rnassive 15,000 sq. `t. Home Hardware building centre. The current 1,500 1,500 sq. 't. location is cui:rermk* 1 )tier recors,.,xtim -The To -can Building—a 2 - storey professionai office and retail locator. at Gdenanna Road aid Highway—is also ;:rider construction. A Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce will be added to the site as well. "A new Pickering ice arena is also being built. "A fireball at Dixie Road and Finch Avenue will begin construction in the spring. our duty as members of council," he said. However, don't expect to see any change regarding the town's most noticeable eyesore—the Verona Mall on Bayly Street. 'I Major undertakings in Ajax include the John Boddy Developments proposal for a major residential project in an area north of Pickering Village, south of Rmsland Road. Wary expects it, final provincial approval of both A6 and A7 community plans, and the construction of a Westney Heig'as community centre to happen this year. "If we don't start on it (community centre) this year then 1 don't think we're doing mayor jim wrny have no idea what's happening with that thing," Witty confessed. The partiallytonstrticted failed venture sits as a shell of steel girders and concrete since it went into receivership more than three years ago. Council can't initiate any action to utilize the scarred and undeveloped land and can only react to proposals brought forward. Wim• said. The most recent suggestion offered last slimmer was a plan to build a "mixed-use" project that would have included a high rise apartment building, townhouses and some commercial component. A much discussed but never realized hotel in Pickering is also uncertain. 'The day someone draws the permits I'll make the announcement," Mayor Arthurs joked. "Until then it's still on our 'wish list. - Canada Composting is looking to establish a small scale municipal and industrial composting facility for household food waste, Arthurs said. Zoning for the proposal is already in place and the operator hopes to form a partnership with the town—with the idea of possibly collecting food waste at the curbside. The Town of Pickering completed its preliminary budget deliberations during the first week of the new year. Arthurs said he felt the process was "very positive adding that cuts were made to certain areas whiie additions were made in others. Tentative numbers won't be available urtal later this week and a final budget willbe considered in council at a meeting on Feb. 1. Ajax on the other hand, is preparing to "munch numbers." Residents will get a first glimpse of the town's proposes for its 1993 budget during public meeting at town hall tomorrow. Witty said council will take a meticulous approach and examine every department and every expenditure. However, he would not predict what possible mill rate property tax increase residents might face. There's no target but we will keep chopping until council comes to an eventual agreement," he said. "Artificial targets are simply not realistic." The Ajax mayor predicted the town would look to "streamiining" its operations and admitted certain service levels will be reduced. While the anticipated eventual aruxx cement that Pickering will serve as hos; to a Durham -only landfill dump will be on the minds of most residents, Arthurs said he personally won't allow such news to affect his outlook for the new year. "I'm looking at a positive economic agenda goal for this year," he said "h (news of a Pickering dump) is not gang to burden us with a negative outlook. The issue will outlive this terra of council and this goveTrment's current mandate before there's final approval for 1993 a stable year for housing, says ODHBA n its Projection for <..: 1993 press release, the >: Oshawa -Durham Home Builders' Association has dubbed the upcoming year as "Stability in '93." "The association strongly feels that the worst is behind us and that better days are ahead," says Frank Veltri, president of the Oshawa -Durham Home Builders' Association. "The fact that General Motors did not close any of its Oshawa plants really lifted the cloud of uncertainty over the city and region." The "auto giant's" decision to stay gives the area a boost of confidence, confidence that will lead to increased sales and possibly an increase in house values, Veltri said. The Oshawa -Durham Home Builders' Association represents the home-building M1 - industry throughout Durham c � i•rt Region. The local association is a member of both the Canadian Home Builders' Association and the Ontario Home Builders' Association. The Canadian Home Builders' Association basically deals with concerns on a national level. To give you an idea of its strength, the CHBA represents more than 12,000 company members. "Statistics show that one in four jobs in Canada is affected by the home-building industry. We are an integral part of Canada's economy," Veltri said. The Ontario Home Builders' Association deals with issues on a provincial level. It contains more than 4,000 company members. Within Ontario, there are more than 35 local associations which help to make up the OHBA. Directly or indirectly, Ontario Home Builders employ nearly 400,000 people — twice as many as the agricultural sector, and three times as many as the auto industry. "The impact we have on local economies in the province is more widespread than any other industry," Veltri said. "Our association has been in existence for more than 45 years and is among the top six in Ontario in terms of size. Our membership is made up of all disciplines involved in residential construction. Builders, land developers, renovators, trade contractors, suppliers and professional members such as lawyers and financial institutions make up part of the team." House values have decreased over the past three -and -a -half years. However, low interest rates, .low prices and government incentives such as the 5 per cent down and ability to use RRSPs towards the purchase of a house, are reasons to invest, Veltri said. Builder incentives are also available. Appliance packages, mortgage buydowns and no GST are some examples of builder incentives. But low rates are predicted for the short term only. Veltri pointed out that material and labor costs are increasing and the implementations of new levies are adding to the cost of a new home. It is quite conceivable that prices will rise slightly before the year is out. "A home builder can only absorb so many increases," Veltri said. He added that statistics show investing in a new home is more beneficial than renting. Your returns are greater and you're always ahead with home ownership, he said. ommunity Calendar is a regular feature on upcoming events.

The Bay News, January 13,1993 19 Stretching a child's attention span oungsters with special ;.: problems may need >' special attention, but they can be helped to maintain good study habits, according to i Ruth A. Peters, a clinical i psychologist who serves as study skills adviser to Sylvan Learning i Centres. Among these are children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD,) who have difficulty in concentratin,, and organizing. They often act up in class. disrupting other students and sabotaging their own schoolwork. Dr. Peters worked with one youngster whose parents asked her to try to help him without using prescription medication — a standard treatment for 1DD. i Rv establishing an academic structure with clear behavioral guidelines, she managed to achieve what she describes as a .5 ;wr cent success." (The child) is still distracted on urea.Slon, but he doe: car•• ab-►ut d,,1n, hi,, ^rhe d%,,rk bec.au<e ..f the daily r--p--rt -ard and the prizes he gets for sticking to it." She recommends using an immediate gratification system of rewards for ADD children when they complete work assignments. "I call them trunk prizes, because the mum or dad keeps a sack of goodies in the trunk of the car, and when the child gets to the car with all of his assignment, written down and all work turned in to the teacher, he gets a prize right out of the trunk before he even leaves chool." The child's mother work, with him at ni,ht when he doe. his homework. using flashcards and a timer to help him focus on completing an assignment within a reasonable time. The sv;tem is not veru different fr-,m a regular -tudv cv�tem. Dr. Peters said. 'With ADD kids we haul out the reward as s4H►n as thev leave the school building,.'

It's been two years now since The Bay News broke the story of Tannis' vision of a bridge over Lake Ontario, linking Pickering with New York State. Since then, Tannis, a retired Air Canada pilot, has spent his time unsuccessfully trying to convince investors that his idea is more than just a grandiose pipedream. That idea is to build the $4 billion Utopia Causeway—a 58 - km (36 -mile) long Slane highway bridge across the lake. The bridge would be a pontoon design—similar to oii-drilling platforms. Submerged stabilizer pontoons supporting the bridge structure would be anchored to the lake bottom. The project would be pre -assembled in 100 - metre sections, then lowered in place. It would link five land-based points—the Canadian and American shores and three small Lake O^'ario islands. The bridge design would also allow for a skytrain which would travel above automobile L-affic, and a bicycle pathway. The bridge would be a self- supporting toll bridge which Tannis said would pay for itself in 12 years and generate more than. $52 million over 30 years, while becoming a tourist attraction in the bargain. Tannis even sees the middle island—Atlantis 2000—as a 'free port complete with casinos. It would also serve as the site of a North American exposition in the year 2000. Still, the recession and sheer immensity of the project has made his idea a tough sell to both investors and governments. But, like other scoffed -at visionaries before him, Tannis is convinced his seemingly improbable fantasy is an attainable and practical reality. "There's an extreme job shortage and there's a real need for a catalyst like this to get things going," Tannis told The Bay News. "We certainly need an excellent idea to end the recession. We need to build something. We need action." Tannis said the project would generate 50,000 jobs during construction and employ 500 permanent jobs on the bridge and 3,000 on the islands. He has been stepping up his efforts recently, sending off missives to four levels of government in the two neighboring countries and to potential investors. Europe may be the next stop in an attempt to gain financial support, Tannis said. "Everyone seems to be still suffering from the recession. They're interested, but reluctant. But it's all talk. Nobody is committed, so far." Tannis wants to get a consortium started up with at least $10 million in the coffers before staning another big push on the four government levels for support "The governments won't move in any uay unless you've got one of the big developers or, board so that's what I want to do," he said, while admitting he's had little success doing it. He's asking for $50 million from each of the four governments—an amount that represents only 5 per cent of the total cost. Private investment will provide the rest of the funds, he predicted. "All political leaders are promising change, a new economic direction and the return to prosperity. Such a change will not come from words and promises only, but will be the result of 'imagineering,' or applied Imagination proven by action - a joint effort of government and private enterprise," he said. But Tannis has been "stonewalled" in his efforts to get governments to listen. Ontario Premier Bob Rae's government at Queens Park suggested he contact the transportation ministry, who in turn, passed him on to the tourism ministry, who sent him back to transportation. Tannis sent information packages to both Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and American President George Bush with little interest received in return. Even President-elect Bill Clinton received a package. Tannis did get a response from New York Govemor Mario Cuomo's planning department. who called his proposal "imaginative". "It sounds encouraging ... but it's just a polite little letter," admitted Tannis. "And I want active participation." All this has frustrated the 62 - year -old, who, now retired, has devoted himself foil -time to his dream. "Su•e, it's frustrating. I'd like to walk into an office and hear 'yes, this is great, lets start work.' but things like that don't happen in the real world." 'And $4 billion sounds like a lot, but atomic submarines and aircraft tamers cost more." 'I know why more people don't take me seriously. It's because they can't see across the lake, so they think, 'you can't build a bridge across there.' But it's only a bridge. We can go to the moon and back, so it can be done."
