Centre stage COUNCIL APPROVES $8M FACILITY 1 By Glenn Hendry The long-awaited A4 community centre in North Ajax has been given the go-ahead by Ajax council. The $8 million project, a top priority of three different town councils, was finally given the green light at Monday's council meeting. Approval did not come easy, however, as Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish and Ward 5 Councilor Pat Brown both rejected the idea of spending millions during recessionary times. "it verges on financial irresponsibility to approve this project," Parish said. 'We're going to have to lay off people, cut capital expenditures and eliminate a lot of things that are needed in this town. for *his pool And we're still gang to be left with a tax increase." "It seems to me the best way to cut spending is to not spend." It's the immense cost of the centre — and the operattng expenses, projected to cost $485,000 annuaily — that have the two councillors upset. Parish said the project will have a severe . coact on future budgets and noted that building per mit charges to developers — town treasurer Greg K'--kbride is courting or. 455 the year and 907 in 1994 for ^.e centre to pay for itself — are down: by 50 per cent this year. K:7:AbrAe, in a recent report to budget adssory committee, said the cost of the centre represented a three per cent increase in the mill safe Parish, predicting a continued slow economic recovery for the town, pegged the increase at eight per cent, a figure disputed by a number of councilors. Regional Councillor Roger Anderson took offence to Parish's statement that approving the project would be financially irresponsible. He argued the community centre is necessary and affordable. "If it means stopping some (future) proiect, that's what well do. If it means hiring six instead of seven full-time people for the centre, that's what well do to save money," he said. "This is the most important project for this council and can do nothing but benefit Ajax." Former councillor and current recreation coundl member Joe Atkisson also got into the act, snaking a piea to approve the centre. "It's not a tax on our future but rather an investment in our future," he said. The community centre will include a family aquatic centre, a library and three meeting rooms. Construction is expected to begin later this year with a fall 1994 completion date. The money for the centre, to be located at Westney Road North and Mao Drive, will come from a provincial grant ($800,000), capital account ($712,500), lot levy reserve fund ($1,800,000), capital projects reserve ($1,500,000), development charges reserve land ($887,500), post -DCA reserve fund ($800,000) and debentures ($1,500,000). The new centre is expected to el:tpioy seven full-time and 35 to 45 part-time workers.

Council, during a meeting June 7, approved the formation of a 6 -person committee to be made up of one member of town council, two members of town staff. and three "responsible and knowledgeable" citizens. It was suggested by resident Fred Beer that retiring Town Manager Noel Marshall be selected one of the citizen representatives and appointed as chair of the committee.

"Why on earth should we be in such a rush to bring turmoil into these people's lives?" Beer told council, explaining careful and compassionate consideration should be given. He reasoned that even if tenants on the properties were given a first opportunity to purchase the homes where they live, it's unlikely most wouid be able to afford them. M. A. Snobelen a representative of Greenwood Mushroom Farm, said the town must consider the agricultural importance of the surplus airport property. He supports allowing the federal government to proceed with the airport land sale. "ailing that, Snobelen said longer leasing agreements should be provided to tenants. He suggested 20 to 25 -year leases "";id give better security to those living on the property.

Kill weed spraying program, says Dulny Dandelions areri t so bad, says Regional Councillor Susan Dulny. Dulny, in a notice of motion for the next Ajax Council meeting, is asking that the town lessen the use of pesticide sprays on town parks because of potential health dangers to residents. "Is our dislike for weeds stronger than our concern for our health?" she asked her colleagues. Earlier in Monday's meeting Sherry Brown, from the Ajax Citizens for the Environment, appeared as a delegation to council and made a similar request. Brown said she wants the gradual elimination of pesticides. But for now, the spraying should be done earlier, she said, so soccer players and other users aren't affected. Local residents should also be alerted so they can close their windows.

That's the basic idea behind the creation of 3 -on -3 Street Hockey — an event which will be coming to Pickering on June 12 and 13 at fon Beer Arena. Approximately 150 to 250 teams are expected to participate. The creator and organizer of 3 -on -3 Street Hockey is Brian Hayward, an NHL goaltender for the San Jose Sharks. He modeled 3 -on -3 Street Hockey after 3 -on -3 basketball tournaments in the United States — events that attract as many as 12,000 competitors. "A roommate of mine from university was involved in Hoop - It -Up, an organization which runs the basketball tournaments," said Hayward. "So my brother and I decided to test the waters with street hockey in Canada and it was very successful." Hayward's own professional hockey career began in 1982 when, he signed as a free agent with the Winnipeg Jets. He has since played for the Montreal Canadiens and the Minnesota North Stars. During his career, Hayward has been awarded the William Jennings Trophy recognizing his team's lowest goals -against average in the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons. The 3 -on -3 Street Hockey tournaments began in 1989. as two events held in Montreal and Toronto.

The teachers, represented by the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) and L'association des Enseignantes et des Enseignantes Franco-Ontariens (AEFO), on June 3 ratified a contract offered by the board by an overwhelming 417-20 vote. However, the deal is for the 1992-93 school year, which technically lasts until Aug. 31. last classes for most teachers is June 25. Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board trustees are expected to ratify the deal at its June 21 board meeting — four days before the membership bothered to vote. "Ifs dissatisfaction with what Mr. Rae might be doing with the social contract and how the government is interfering with the negotiation process," O'Connor said. O'Connor was referring to a end of classes. It has taken 14 months to reach an agreement and school mp�,'-'KP�PPPN board chairman Tom Oldman said the two sides will resume negotiations for next year after they see tangible results out of the social contract talks between the provincial government and the unions. Michael O'Connor, a teacher at St. James School in Ajax and the chief negotiator for OECTA (Durham unit), said he was happy an agreement was reached but noted only half the proposed 3 -year government program that would have enabled school boards to grant two per cent pay increases to teachers. The program was cut when Queens Park began social contract talks, leaving school boards without money to grant teacher raises. "The bottom line is we, and everyone who was negotiating, were forced to change our position in mid -stream," O'Connor said. The teachers did get a smai! raise, 0.6 per cent due Jan. 1. O'Connor said teachers were able to negotiate several small victories including maintaining teacher/student ratios, a benefit plan for retirees, and the reduction of maximum teaching load (minutes spent in a classroom) from 240 minutes to 220 minutes for French as a second language teachers. "There were no real substantive changes and it pales by comparison with the last three agreements," O'Connor said. "But under the (financial) times we're in, sure, we're happy." Oldman told The Boy News he didn't foresee a problem getting his board to approve the agreement (reached May 18). He praised the OECTA negotiating team calling them "knowledgeable and reasonable" adversaries. "Anything's possible. It's not for me to say." he said. "But DID based on (negotiating) history there shouldn't be a problem." Oldman admitted contract talks were more difficult than in the past because of government cutbacks, calling it "an unusual set of circumstances to work under" Because of the cutbacks, both sides knew there wasn't much in the board coffers to give. "We'd like to give our employees as much as we're physically able to afford. That's the frame of mind we went in with," he explained. We didn't want to 'r,:cxe! and dime' them to death but we were held ransom by the money we have available." i ee ;tie 112 Air Conditioner z� 1 1 839-3234 _ LIVERPOOL Ene M rk�'LOAN PLAN, Aje Coonditimi lg Ltd. 1975 Durham ;legion's Largest, cosi; Complete Do -It Yourself I.tmdscape Garden Centre �S�v t� p p, _ 5515 Bid, Pfri Everyday valve *9 North of Tamton Bot.

During a meeting Monday night, council approved a five knot (9 km per hour) speed limit for all motorized watercraft on the Bay. The decision, will effectively ban the use of jet sk craft in this sheltered section. of Lake Ontario. The town wiL ask the federal government to amend the Boating Restriction Regulations and the measure will likely take effect during the boating season in 1994. Ward 2 Local Councillor Eileen Higdon has spearheaded the move to remove the jet ski craft from Frenchman's Bay based on concerns about noise, impacts on environmentally - sensitive areas around the shoreline, and danger to other Bay users. Higdon said jet skiers had forced town council to act. "We have people who are abusing our waterfront." she PUBLIC NOTICE 77077)))) DURHAM TRANSPORTATION DURHAM SYSTEM REVIEW REGION You are cordially invited to participate The Region of Durham in cooperation with the Ministry of Transportation is initiating a comprehensive update of the Regional Transportation Plan.

"Frenchman's Bay is precious, it's one of a kind, and a unique feature of Pickering." A number of residents, who attended a public meeting portion on the matter, spoke out against the use of jet skis in the Bay. Resident Margaret Hilpert said the craft noise was unbearable. She added that jet skis were dangerous to others and cited an occasion when a windsurfing boara was rum over and ruined by a iet skier. Resident Doug Lockrey said he took it upon himself on a number of Occasions to speak to jet skiers who were acting recklessly. "I dare not relate to you their responses," he told council. Resident Doug Richie proposed a solution, that would address the problem specifically. "The problem is noise and the simple solution is to ban jet skis," he said. Kristine Pasternak, the only resident to speak out in support of the popular personal watercraft, suggested that instead of imposing a restrictive speed limit, council should foster an education program for jet ski users. "There are many people that use the Bay for personal watercraft use and they are responsible," she told council.

Picker ng ontano UW.JE(, Putting the brakes on aggressive drivers Overly -aggressive motorists drive everyone to despair. First and foremost, it's a dangerous and stupid practice that puts everyone else on the road at risk. Every eight hours someone in Ontario is killed in a traffic accident. Someone is injured every six minutes. Certain people just don't realize that driving an automobile involves thinking and being fully aware of what goes on inside and 360 degrees outside of a vehicle. And unless you're a Paul Tracy or Scott Goodyear, overly -aggressive driving means you won't react quickly enough to looming dangers that lurk on every street corner. Disaster is the inevitable result. Overly -aggressive driving is also annoying. There's nothing worse than an inconsiderate jerk bobbing and weaving his way in and out of traffic with complete and utter disregard for those in front or beside. And everyone hates a "tailgater" who refuses to back off no matter how fast the traffic in front is travelling. Most generally responsible motorists feel incensed and frustrated by the unnerving, careless tactics of overly - aggressive drivers. Quite frankly. were usually at the mercy of sorb fools and powerless to do anything about them. So it's reassuring to bar that Durham Region Police and a host of other lawn enforcement services across the province have taken matters into their om hands and are in the midst of a 2 -week aggrest3ve driver crackdown. The program, which started the beginning of dune and ends this Monday, takes dead -aim on speeders and careless :drivers and hits them wbere It hurts. They can apecl: to Pall $90 for unsafe :lane changes and a cool $300 for .serious speeding offences. Police say the crackdown serves as a' safe driving reminder to everpse. An added bonus is that at least'some .of !hose annoying road hogs we've all nearly run into at ane time or another -will pay for their careless ways. It's nice to see aggressive motorists being driven crazy for a change. PN,r Wows HOCKEY HERO: Heavy rains put a damper on most events at Saturday's Springfest '93 in Pickering, but New York Islander goaltender Glenn Healy was a big draw. Here the Pickering native signs a hockey card for 11 -year-old fan Darren Miller. — Letters � Merchant sailor attends Liverpool reunion Dear editor: Your newspaper's article by Glenn Hendry regarding the contribution of the Canadian Merchant Marine Service to the war effort, and in particular to the Battle of the Atlantic, was timely and well received by Merchant Navy sailors. I just returned from a reunion of the Battle of the Atlantic in Liverpool, England where 16 nations paid tribute to the participants of this, the longest battle of the Second World War. May 1943 was the turning point of the attacks on convoys and other ships in the North Atlantic. During this month, the combined forces of the Royal Navy and Royal Canadian Navy sank 33 U-boats with very little loss to the fighting and merchant ships. Fifty years later, our government is finally recognizing that 1 the Merchant Service sailors were as much at risk as the Canadian Navy. In fact, the U-boat commanders would sooner sink a fat merchant ship with its costly and much needed cargo than a little corvette that Winston Churchill once described as "cheap and nasty." Our Canadian contingent to this reunion consisted of approximately 200 ex -North Atlantic sailors, half of whom served in the Merchant Navy. We marched as one unit, united together, as it should be, with the HMCS Stadacona leading us. We were given a great reception by the people of Liverpool for our war efforts, together, 50 years ago. In the North Atlantic alone, 2,603 British and allied Merchant ships, totalling more than 13 million tons, went to the bottom of the sea. More than 30,000 merchant seamen lost their lives as did more than 6,000 Royal Navy personnel and 1,797 Royal Canadian Navy sailors. The Canadian Merchant Navy men Bay News v ,.,Bay to X44 signed, the ad tsreafrlo,.t:_ and women were peace time sailors forced into an emergency situation that they could not refuse. The Canadian Navy personnel were volunteers from all walks of life who joined up to defend their country. Both groups were exposed to the harshness of the cruel sea and both groups served their country well. It has taken our country more than 50 years to acknowledge the efforts of these brave Canadians. It's long, long overdue. Personally, from an old sailor who served nearly four years in the North Atlantic, from 1942 to 1945, 1 say thank you to other merchant sailors for serving with me. I am proud to have served with you, fellow comrade and shipmate. - Charles W. Presley Ajax Lotter ,9:shouidbe ter.<`iIle 07 nista be Single pz By Dan McLean If Mire a single parent living in Ajax and Pickering, you're not alone — nor should you be. There's a group of people just like you who are anxious to get to know you and your family. They're made up of divorced, widowed and one -parent men and women and their children, calling themselves the Ajax and Pickering One -Parent Family Association. The group meets once a week and is regularly involved in a variety of family activities including baseball games, picnics, camping weekends, movies, dinners, dances, Toronto Blue Jay games and much, much more. "Each month there are different things to do and there's also activities strcty for adults,"said association. publicity co- ordinator Shirley Hutchings. It's a social kind of tl^ii^g." Hutchings. a 36-year-o:d singe mot:er. -as been a The Bay News, June9,1993 9 rents are not alone member of the group for approximately three years. A friend told her about the association shortly after she became separated. Hutchings admitted single parents who have been through a stressful separation or divorce often find it difficult getting back on track with their lives. "It's hard to make that first step — to say, Yes, I am on my own,'" she explained. "You don't want to go out and meet people. But it's nice knowing that there are people in the same situation." The Ajax and Pickering One - Parent Family group includes approximately 155 local members. Parents range in age from as young as 19 to people in their fifties and sixties. Hutchings said. The locai non-profit association has been around for nearly 20 years and is par, of a Canada -wide organization. fn add:,:on to p.'annec socia. activities that take place each week, the association also organizes informative lectures. Regular organized functions include a card night every Friday, a dinner -of -the -month, a pot -luck dinner for new members, eight baseball tournaments this summer, and a fundraising dance every second Saturday of each month. Organizers are also looking at starting up a Sunday breakfast. In addition. association members receive a newsletter each month. Genera' meetings are held at the Volkswagen plant cafeteria at 777 Bayiy St. A 16 - member executive meets mommy to pian future activities. Members pay a $30 annual fee each year.

Parish reconsiders reduced council Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish has changed his mind about Ajax Council's ward realignment scheme. Parish, in an about-face from previous statements, declared during Monday night's council meeting upon further reflection he would not support council's decision to drop one councillor. Under a realignment proposal, the rum ber of wards in the town will be reduced from five to four. Ward 1 Councillor Frank Schaper, the only councillor against the scheme from the start, continued his fight to overturn the decision. Schaper predicts counallors who will be performing more work for the same money will eventually want full-time wages "and we can't afford that," he said. The ward plan was approved by a 6-2 vote. Dissenters now have 21 days to appear council's decision.

A union alliance of public ambulance workers, frustrated with what they call an inefficient, ineffective emergency health care system, doesn't think so. However, public operators disagree and say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Both sides are locked into a public relations battle over ambulance care. At stake is the f=rue of emergency care in this province. Ambulance workers are fighting for a public prov^ncia: ambulance sery-.ce .n Ontario.

There are currently 204 different ambulance services. Five are air ambulance companies. Health Minister Ruth Grier has already called for an independent review on the service following the recent death of a 15 -year-old Sault Ste. Marie boy. One hundred and ninety-nine are land-based services. Of those, 66 are privately owned, 66 are hospital operated, nine are ran by the health minstry, four are municipally operated. four operate or. governmen' contraCS and 28 are voiunteer services. Ambulance driver Jodee Dockman, sporting an orange r:boon and a button. reading "I support one arm'aance sen-ce w::en s:^e spoke :o The Bec News recently, works out of the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital. Dockman said there is an urgent need to establish a public -not - for -profit -system that provides equal ambulance service to everyone no matter where they live. "The key problem is the patchwork design of ambulance systems in the province. There's different levels of service in each of 204 different services." she said. "It makes it inefficient." "The result, depending on where you are, is that when you call an ambulance you could get any service from people trained in CPR to full paramedics with all the 'toys,' such as cardiac medications, defibri:iators or cintubatiors."

Swimmer also calls for minimum response times, equality of service care, and standards in training. "We just want (the government) to implement its own report," Dockman said. "But they're not listening. It's beer, true since 1967 with the McNally report, which also called for one service, and again with the Shapiro report in the mid -eighties." Each of the health minsters have promised to something abou: it. but..." Grier, who took on the heal:`. portfolio in a recent cabinet shuffle, is the only heap:^ :..:sister who has yet to take an or.'icia. stand on tate ambuiarce ;,erv.ce issue. The Swimmer Report eCom^ ended creating an _r erge.^icy heal';, services :omm;ssion, which wou':d ,wcome tate sole provider of all and land ambulance semces n Ontario — inc&fnq dsaa:ch. Private operators would be given the opportunity to take equivalent positions with the commission, or receive compensation for their business from the commission. However, independent ambulance operators don't agree. In an April 15 report to Ajax council, representatives of the Ontario Ambulance Operators Association Incorporated (OAOA) said the cost to change over the system would be $80 million — with an additional $60 million extra each year. "Beware of deception.," said OAOA executive director Jim Price in his report to council. The OAOA wants you to know that increased service levels will cos money, lots of money. Tie government is on record as saving r, cannot afford cu-rer- leves. The implementation (of the Sw:-ntmer repor-) would uit:mately see :este Coss being passed along :o our muricpalities." .^.e added. Ve also war: you to :crow t,.a* -ne ur:iors are proposing _nreais::c and unaffordabie response Imes for our vast province. - Price said improving the ambulance system starts with less government and a re- alignment of responsibilities from the "jealously guarded bureaucratic hierarchy" to the local level. Dockman said the implementation of the Swimmer report is being held up by the private operators who she said "have a personal interest in not having it implemented." She also said the cost factor won't be as high as the private operators claim. Streamlining the service into one system w^L save money, Dockman explained, and lower levels of service under the present system: translates to longer hospital stays, "and that isn't cost effective." Dockman said it is only. a matter of time before someone dies under the preset:: emergency ambulance system:.

The May 1993 starts number is the highest level achieved in the past six months. "Single detached housing made up for 99 per cent of the starts to May, and represents a good start to the summer building period," said Jeff Brewitt, Market Analyst at CMHCs Toronto office. "And the announcement of a new shift at General Motors is certainly a good shot in the arm `or the Oshawa economy in 1993." Single detached homes totalled 132 units in May 1993, compared with % units during the same period a year earlier and represents a 38 per cent increase. Only two semi- detached units were started in May 1993. Within the Oshawa CMA, 57 starts were recorded in the City of Oshawa, 39 in Newcastle and 38 in Whitby.

School flasher • From Page 1 had red hair that was shaved on one side and spiked on the other. Inspector Tony Turner of PAering's 25 Division said the man was also wearing black cowboy boots and was approximately 5 ft. 8 in. in The same man may have also been spotted at Bayview Heights Public School near Bayly Street and Sandy Beads Road at approximately 8:50 am. that same day. Ammdm to Turner, the man spoke to another group of ymmpters at that school telling them he lived in the woods nearby. The man did not expose himself on that occasion. "We're keeping a close eye on these schools: Turner told The Boy I*tvs. "Our people are doing extra checks and extra patrols in the area of these schools." Turner said local officers have been made aware of what occurred and are on the lookout for the man. According to principal Lowe's letter to school parents, he explained that police were immediately notified Parents were urged to speak to their children regarding how they should deal with the situation. The letter added that discussion of personal safety in dealing with strangers also took place at the school. Yburrgsters that day were encouraged to walk home in groups and go Straight home. Turner would not speculate whether the man may have been local or from outside the cormrnatity. He urged anyone with information regarding the idertity of the man to call the Pickering police station's youth bureau at 683-9100, extension 354. 550 Soo 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 ion so 0 J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M 1 91 1 92 1 93 I OSHAWA CMA HOUSING STARTS 1991 -1993 For the first time in lottery hStory, we have a five bifliondoflar 0 vv=er0 I* Since 1975, lottery proceeds have been hard at work supporting social service organizations through the Trillium Foundation, cultural and recreational activities and hospitals all across Ontario.

Group of seven loins lottery A group of seven employees at Western Assurance in Pickering won a Lotto 6149 second prize of $81,312.80 in the May a draw. The co-workers have been playing the lottery together for more than two years. Whitby resident Lynn Picard purchased the (wick Pick tickets at 7 -Eleven on Brock Street in Whitby. Picard said that prior to this, the most they had won was 'about $100 on lotto 6(49.' She plans to use her winnings for a house downpayment. The other group members are Pickering residents Cathy Dunn, Anne Maclsaac and Anne Marie Thomas, Oshawa resident Chris MacDonald, Ajax resident Arlene Naulls and Whitby resident Judy Florence. Waste transfer site approved A Pickering company's request to operate a waste disposal site for transfer and processing has been granted by the province's environment and energy ministry. The ministry granted an amended provisional certificate of approval to Republic Environmental Systems (Pickering) Limited, located at 1070 Toy Ave. Amalgamation idea nixed A joint effort by councillors Kip Van Kempen (Pickering) and Jim Potticary (Oshawa) to increase efficiency by amalgamating some municipal services was defeated during last week's regional council meeting. Van Kempen had already tried — and lost — at Pickering council to get support for his idea to create a regional fire service. as well as the amalgamation of some administrative services. Pickering offers storage space for St. Paul's food bank- St. ank St. Paul's -on -the -Hill Community Food Bank hosted a reception last week to celebrate the opening of their new storage facility in Pickering. The new facility will be used strictly for sorting and storage. Esther Lucas, a member of the food bank committee, said the Town of Pickering offered the building to her organization early last month when the facility became vacant. 'We certainly did need it because we were squashed in our storage facility in the church,' Lucas said. She added that the committee didn't want the location publicized for security reasons. The reception was just "to thank the people who helped us." Owasco cub volunteer awarded A Metropolitan Toronto police officer has been honored for his volunteer work with Boy Scouts of Canada in Pickering and Ajax. Bill Van Der Valk, the assistant district commissioner for cubs for the Owasco District, accepted the Chief of Police .Award from Metro police chief Bill McCormack May 21. The Chief of Police Award is given to police members for outstanding community involvement. Nan Der Valk started as a cub leader 12 years ago with the 1st Glendale group. He served on the Owasco service team for four years and has been working out of the district commissioner's office for the past year. Telephone alert system approved .An automated telephone dialing system to warn Pickering residents of an impending disaster will be in place by fall. Durham Regional council approved a contract with Community Alert Network to provide the system. Durham Region is English — the language of confusion A lot of expressions and terms in the English language confuse and frustrate me. Admittedly most people have more important things to worry about than stupid slogans and adages. But I'm the type of person who thinks too much for my own good. I can't help it. One expression I can't stand is "Well, I never." The phrase drives me crazy because it's incomplete. Just once Cd like to hear someone finish the sentence by saying something like, "Wei, 1 never knew I was so fat," or "Well, I never wanted to join the army, but I Ww the cool uniforms." Well, I never want this expression ever. A lot of people use the phrase Its raining cats and dogs." How unlikely. Cd like to know who's responsible for this expression. Who's the genius that made the connection between pets and bad weather? Any why cats and dogs? Why not elephants and hippos? TheWre a lot bigger and would more graphically describe a storm. Ali I can say is if it ever rains cats and dogs, the humane society will go crazy cleaning up the mess. 'Inert there's Tve got a bone to pick with you." What a revolting motion. Don't people have better things to do with their time than pick bones? Where did the expression come from? Did some caveman come up on the short end of a brontosaurus dinner? Maybe the expression describes some kind of Stone Age toothpick I think one of the most misunderstood questions is "How are your" We all hear it. Most people politely reply "Not too bad, pretty good, fine, or fm alive." Answers that don't give details. It's a useful enough phrase that works as a superficial greeting. What I hate is when people take the question literally. Some see the question as a means to a discourse on their fife. "Well, my wife left me for a vacuum cleaner salesman, my pet hamster is depressed, my right knee is hinged backwards and I ate my wallet for breakfast this morning, mistaking it for a piece of burnt toast. But all things considered, it's been a good day." Well, I'm sorry 1 asked. Some people complain that the educational system produces nothing more than functional illiterates. I say, they may be illiterate, but at least they're functional. It sure beats dysfunctional illiterates, doesn't it? Educators must be doing something right. I saw a sign the other day that said Fine for Dumping. "Well, yes officer, I dumped my garbage here because the sign said it was fine." Then there are those contradictions in terms — dreaded oxymorons. Even the word oxymoron puzzles me — a sounds like idiotic acne cream. Most are quite amusing — jumbo shrimp, freezer burn, living dead, same difference, genuine imitation, affirmative action and cafeteria food. All are terms composed of two words which should never be used together in the sante sentence. We all say strange things. Phrases and words that when you think about them, don't make rational sense. Don't make it a habit because people like me won't let you hear the end of it. 111 leave you with the most condescending expression ever devised. One that obnoxious sale clerks and sneering cops at radar traps say after they've completely ruined the good mood you were in. Have a nice day.

Computer camp for kids The Pickering Public Library invites children six to 11 years of age to have a "hi - tech' summer. We have joined forces with Computertime Kids Club to offer a computer camp.

Youths provide helping hand By Lincoln Trudeau PHS co-op student The Ajax and Pickering Corr=, :y Care yot�e. services program is bridging tre generation gap. Again this summer, youthful voiunteers wil: offer :.heir assistance to seniors and disabled adults — helping them by performing a variety of chores and work projects. Sally Longo, administrator of Community Care, told The Bay Nein how the program began. "It was recognized that seniors in the community could use help in their homes with things like lawn cutting, washing windows, household chores and spring cleaning," she said. "We look for youths who are mature, dedicated, caring and willing to give up a couple of hours once or twice a week We like volunteers to be 13 or older became wee ve found that 13 is about the age that parents begin to encourage their children to work." Youth Services will run until Sept. 3. It is funded by the Skmtmer Employment Experience Development program (SEED) and the United Way. Community Care has reached its quota of youth volunteers this year: Youths who still wish to apply are placed on a waiting fist. There is still room for about 30 more clients. Those who use this service are charged $5 per hour, which is paid directly to the volunteers. Anyone interested in using the youth services program can call Ajax Pickering Com nnV Care .tt 686-3331. 1.1 _ INelp Wanted --- ADVERTISING SALES REPRESENTATIVE The Bay News has an opening for a full time retail advertising sales representative.

Summer Camp 1993 is the Oshawa resident's latest youth project and for that, he needs your help. Two years in the making, the camp is a summer refuge for as many as 50 Durham Region youths for a 5 -week period this summer. But Magee and camp organizers have an urgent need for equipment, money and volunteers. The camp, organized by ',he Council of Caring Parents, Grandparents and Friends and Kids for Kids, received 182 acres of farmland on the Mariposa Brook, east of Little Britain. But volunteers are needed on June 12 and June 19 to prepare the 32 -acre wooded camp site. We need help," Magee told The Bay News. "We need a volume of people to bring their pruning shears, axes and cross- cut saws to clear the site." The campsite, described in glowing terms by Magee, is surrounded on three sides by woods and on the fourth side by Mariposa Brook. Summer Camp 1993 will take children of all ages for the Monday to Friday camps starting July 5. There will be programs offered for moms and tots, families, adult seniors and Youths. Magee said the camp will be kept open on weekends if there is a demand. Programs will also be extended beyond five weeks 9 there s a need A two-week worlahop is also planned "to get the camp and the kids organized," Magee added. A unique aspect to the camp is the youths themselves who will be helping to run it. Modeled after the "court of honor system" in boy scouts, programs will be operated by the youths, with adult supervision. Magee, who is camp chief at summer camp 1993, explained it will be the youths, through the Kids for Kids program, who will be calling the shots on what activities will be held and how :hey will be run. "My title says fm running the show but I'm not reaily," Magee said. "The kids will be panning the show." But the youths still need help from Durham residents. The site has to be prepared and they need financial help to purchase a telephone, first aid kit, fog machine (for the insects) and food for the campers and volunteers. They're also looking for Community pick-up points will be established in Pickering on June 7 and in Ajax June 8. Both teenage and adult volunteers are also in high demand. Leadership courses will be offered. The cost of the camp will be $25 per youth per week.

Wil Kvood Ford Sales in Pickering can and has turned that sort of dream into a reality with a unique program called Ford Swap. It's a 24 -month deal where the only thing a customer pays for is the use of the car — plus automobile insurance. Wildwood Ford General Manager Bill McMaster explains how it works. Go down to the dealership and pick out the car or truck you want — then pay the first and last month's fee, plus applicable licence and taxes. Then drive away. Bring the car back to the dealership in two years. Then select one of two options. Buy the car outright for a pre - agreed price, or hand back the keys and pick out a new vehicle. In the meantime, you bring the car in P" Mich* TM F01W FANRY: Bill McMaster. rnmA ma mew of Wildwrood Ford in �E1tS.a SUE DICKENS • Signs • Vinyl Lettering • alNClas • Sandwich Boards 860 Brook Rd.

McMaster said. But the big difference is that the bill you get back when you pick up the vehicle always stays at 'no charge. - While your car is in for service. Wildwood will shuttle you home while it's being repaired and pick you up when the work's done. If the vehicle is kept overnight, Wkhuood will loan you a car for the day — free of charge. -Tile keys to this program are that you get to drive a new car every two years and you get to drive it free of maintenance costs for that time," McMaster said. "You can't get a much better deal than that." "There are other 2 -year lease programs available out there. But this is a new concept, in that it is a 2 -year maintenance -free lease." Leasing is fast becoming a more and more attractive alternative to owning a a ?hat's because the arrangement c-ro�ides a number of attractive options. M. -Master said Lower monthl•� payments are among the most obvious considerations. Lower payments — and the fact regular maintenance for the vehicle is cost-free for a 2 -year period — make Wildwood Fords unique new program a great deal, McMaster said. Ford Swap is another illustration of WA& ood Fords corttintfing commitment to customer service and satisfaction. It's become a tradition at this Pickering dealership. Wildwood customers have always come to expect the best treatment — espedally when it comes to service.

"When you buy a Coughlan home you're buying an investment as well as a home," Wagman insists. "These houses hold their value for resale purposes — absolutely!" I be5eve that," she continues. "Coughlan is a number one organization that has traditionally bent over backwards to please purchasers. They're very approachable and they do try to please the customer... they really do." A tour through a model home at Fawn's Landing clearly confirms what Wagman has to say and illustrates Coughlan quality. The Poplar — a 3,160 sq. ft., at -brick, 2 -storey model — is a magnificent home that features outstanding touches from top to bottom. The quality is obvious as soon as you enter the front door into a beautiful foyer, then walk into a huge, bright kitchen with breakfast area and pantry.
