"While the builders are at it, they should put in an ice surface," one resident said Another suggested adding a stage and lighting equipment to the gymnasium. "Fs a wish W. That's all it is for now," said Claremont District Community Association (CDCA) president George Johnson. "We really have nothing up here and it looks like for the first time, we are going to get something." Those sentiments were echoed by the 50 residents who were on hand to contribute design suggestions to a "much needed facility" for the community. The proposed structure will be built with a two-storey fire hall with the community centre on one side and a library on the other. Facilities such as the gym in the community centre (with capacity for 300) will be shared by the local firefighters. Seniors local service chubs have requested permanent space and a 2,000 sq. ft. nursery school is also on the list. Area boy scouts and girl guides want to call the facility hone, as well. A walk-in medal clinic proposal was also kicked arazid during the meeting and added to the wish W. As Johnson said, "1t just keeps on getting better." But not all Claremont residents have embraced the proposal, which will cost an estimated $2.1 million in federal/provincial infrastructure dollars. "Rckering taxpayers cannot afford the $1 million up front cost or the ongoing annual maintenance and operating cost of more facilities," home Almack of Claremont said. Ottawa, with a $600 billion liability must assure that "every nickel spent has a pay off," he added. He argued that such a facility does little to enhance Rckering's tax base. Currently, the towns assessment role for tax purposes is weighted 80 per cent residential and 20 per cent industrial/commercial. According to Almack, the burden of carrying such a structure is "outrageous," given the economic climate. 'rhe total cost will exceed $3 million, about $5,000 per person,' Almack said. Ottawa announced in January the the federal/provincial works program would provide funds for municci*ties to enhance their infrastructure and provide short and long-term employmM.

Now its time for her to fly with the Eagles. Graham, a soon-to-be 19 - year -old Pickering runner, has five provincial high school gold medals — with the potential for more to come next month — and two trips to the worid junior championships already under her beh. Two weeks ago she took on a new challenge south of the bonier when she accepted a full scholarship to the Eagles of Boston College. "I don't know what to expect yet but 1 know its going to be an adventure," Graham enthused in an interview. "I'm really happy and looking forward to my future at BC."

She spent the past four months weighing scholarship offers from Penn State, Alabama, Florida and Michigan u n versifies, as well as Boston College. All the schools are athletic powerhouses so, in the end, it was academic excellence — and a love of Boston itself — that turned her towards Boston College, the alma mater of Canadian Football League star Doug Flutie. "I loved the coaching at all the schools and the way they treated their athletes, so that's why (the decision) was so hard," said Graham, who hasn't picked a major but is considering communications. "Bud it seems the further north you go the more the academics are perceived to be superior' "I also loved the city. I like the European atmosphere, not just in the school but in the whole city." Another plus for the school — built in the last century for the sons of Irish immigrants — is a brand-new indoor track facility (it will be one of the finest indoor tracks in the country when it's finished) that is now under construction. It is expected to be ready by Graham's second year. With the commitment to BC behind her and her four years at the school ahead of her; Graham can now concentrate on finishing her high school track career at Dunbarton in style. Graham swept gold medals at OFSSA two years ago in the middle distance races. Last year, as a first-year senior, she finished second in the provincial final in both races. This year, she's going for gold. Graham is currently ranked second in Canada at the junior level and about 20th at the senior level, with a personal best 1,500 -metre time of 4:26. She'll need to shave about four seconds off that time to reach the prestigious NCAA's, the U.S. national collegiate championships. As for international competition at the senior level, she figures she'll be at the Olympic trials for the '96 Atlanta games but a more realistic goal is the 2000 Olympus in Sydney, Australia. She is hoping to regain some confidence at the high school championships after a disappointing performance at the recent world junior cross country championships in Hungary, where she finished 86th of 150 runners. She also finished in the middle of the pact in 1993. "My training was far superior this year and I felt I was ready. But I m not devastated. You can't have a great race every time." "This is something I'll put under my belt for later." Surprise ... after 83 years! }side frorri some problems walking, William Lee, now "99 -and -a -half years," has kept pretty well until recently when a sudden surprise onslaught of pneumonia sideFined him to a bed on the second floor of the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital. He also did not expect that he would receive an additional surprise: a visit from a woman he has not seen in 83 years. Pearl (Gould) Hansel, a first cousin on his mother's side, first surprised William's daughter Bernice, when she called her on Saturday night. In town from Steiner, Alberta, the 90 year-oid woman wanted to meet again the relatives she had not seen in many years; she was delighted to learn cousin William was still alive. "She came to the hospital for a visit on Sunday with W daughter and son-in-law," says Bernice. "She was really spry. When she first saw him, she said: "Oh, this is Billie Lee." The last time she saw him she was seven years old." After staying about an hour, Pearl left, having passed on information about the family and having shared many treasured photos. It was a very special day indeed for William who continues to convalesce at the hospital. i Dom,; WILDWOOD FOLD SALES LTD. _�� ��..

E"pree May 16094 1hs Soy Ntws • Nby 11, 1994 3 Plaza proposal still alive after Ajax committee decision _ NGk= An Ajax shopping plaza proposal — hovering on the brink of death because of councirs aversion to a fast-food component — was given new life at last week's executive and development committee. Council agreed Thursday to approve the whole project, with a 'hold' placed on the fast-food component until town staff can see a site plan. The move essentially means the final decision will be left up to a full council vote May 16. Judging by the way councillors have voted, the project could be approved by a slim margin. Ajax Council had approved the rest of the Harwood Avenue - Highway 2 project, which includes a Business Depot outlet, a Royal Bank Branch and several other retailers, at a previous meeting but turned down a request from developer Tender Holdings to put a drive- thru hamburger restaurant on the site. The decision threw the whole project in peril, with Tender Holdings general manager Baz Livingston vowing to pull out if he didn't get the drive-thru approval. "There is no project without this aspect. This is integral to the success of this development." Livingston, who said he had no alternative but to give council an ultimatum because of tight financing, said he was making an "impassioned plea" to save the project. He offered to make minor modifications to the location of the drive-thru and reminded councillors who arerit keen on a fast-food outlet at that location that the restaurant would be hidden by extensive landscaping. Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish, who continued his opposition to the proposal, said hiding the restaurant from public view is not the best plan for "the most important corner" in Ajax. 'We shouldn't be hiding it, we should be highlighting it," he said. "This is not the most appropriate use for the most important intersection in the town. I would be embarrassed as a councillor to put that on that corner. I would be Parish also took offence with Ward 4 councillor Jim McMaster s comment that Ajax A, 1k�' "....SPRING HERE CALL TO -DAY! 11MTES -- residents want fast-food restaurants. McMaster, who voted in favor of the Tender Holdings proposal, said that fast food is "what the people in this town use and it's what the people of this town will support." Parish, who said he disagreed "fundamentally" with McMaster, challenged his fellow councillor to put the question to the test at a public meeting. His request was turned down by committee chairman Roger Anderson. Ward 1 councillor Frank Schaper took Parish's side on the issue, claiming that if carnal approves the proposal, "in two, three or four years from now we might be very sorry." Several councillors still expressed the hope that a multi- storey office tower could be built on the site — part of the original proposal from the late 1980's — but were told the idea was simply not feasible. "I'd give anything to have a five or eight -storey building, but it's just not reality," Anderson said. . Livingstone has not yet revealed the name of the fast- food restaurant franchise, noting that he did not want to compromise negotiations. He did tell committee the company already has an outlet in Ajax and has a "triple A" credit rating.

A second title choice, taking the developer's perspective, might be Two Out of Three Ain't Bad. Runnymede Developments registered a subdivision plan for two separate blocks in north Ajax in 1959, with the intent to develop the lands for a future day care centre. In 1990, Catholic schools were constructed on adjacent lands at both sites, each with in -school day care centres. The deveiopers subsequently asked Ajax council to change the zoning to allow for the construction of three homes or each site. Public feedback from the site on Sullivan Drive (off Westney Road, between Rossland Road and Magill Drive) has been negative, however. The town received three letters of objection from area residents who objected to the proposal. The residents, some of whom were in the chambers Monday, wanted only two lots on the site, with a minimum house size of 2,200 square feet, to be compatible with other homes in the neighborhood. After considerable debate, the council vote went in favor of the residents. A similar zoning change request, this time at the corner of Delaney Drive and Griffiths Drive (north of Pickering Village) went in favor of the developer. Runnymede representative Rodger Miller did agree to ensure that the three homes would be at Wast 2,200 square feet in size. Mile said ground breaking for the two developments would likely take place this fall. E PMS.

EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE Catch the Saturn Spirit: Ajax to plant trees as Achilles noise barrier The Town of Ajax has agreed to plant trees as a temporary noise barrier for residents on Achilles Road. Area residents, who had complained about excessive noise from nearby Highway 401, had requested a steel noise barrier but were told in March that the cost of the wall (appradmately $900,000) was too steep. A noise barrier will have to be built when the highway is widened to 12 lanes but that won't happen for at least 10 years. the types of plantings — and the ultimate future design for Achilles Road — won't be known until council and the transport ministry decide on the location for the future Pickering Beach Road highway interchange. Town staff is expected to release their report on the interchange location by the end of July.

The situation would be amusing if it weren't so darned costly and time- consuming. Both Ajax and Pickering have recently benefitted from new blood at the top. Not that there was anything wrong with the old blood, but new administrators do bring a fresh perspective and new brooms do tend to sweep dean. But this is pretty much where the similarities end and the contrasts begin. In Ajax, Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish has done the unthinkable: he suggests we eliminate the council co-ordinator system, whereby individual council members each become, in effect, the head of a department as each oversees an individual committee. Among his suggestions is that one committee be formed out of three which now exist: executive and development, budget advisory, and business development. His logic: Instead of three committees working in vacuums, why not expand the mandate of the committee of the whole, allow staff to do their jobs, and give councillors more opportunity to discuss matters openly. "There is absolutely no reason why a small council such as the council of the Town of Ajax should not fully participate in all standing committees," Parish noted in his address. It'll never fly, Stevc — it makes too much sense. But it did throw the usually tightly knit Ajax council into a bit of disarray with Ward 1 councillor, Frank Schaper, asking that Parish's report not be placed on the usual "back burner,' while McMaster and Crawford felt it not even worthy of discussion. To "solve' the matter, cowhdl decided to take its now -favorite route and leave it up to new chief administrative officer Barry Malmsten to include among all the other weighty matters he must solve for them by June. Meanwhile, in Pickering, Ward 2 councillor Kip Van Kempen, like Parish, seems to be a lone voice of sanity in the wilderness. For reasons which no thinking :taxpayer surely understands. council seems bent on rubber stamping a trove to surround its neer administrator with several new, and expansive, "Director" positions. Notes Van Kempen : "This "a of adenlaistratloo could govern a municipality at least twice the size .ef Pickering." Come on. all you councillors, now is this -flair? Is it asking too much for meaningful di alogue bete?

Gu nsmoke's Nifty Pine. sr oss the cadLette .. ... ... .. Whycross ? r . Dear editor: 1 found your editorial Why Cross the Rood to be extremely laca irrate and misguided. As well, your criticisms of the Region of Durham Works Department are totally unjustified and only demonstrate your poor understanding of the information that they provided you with. You describe devices to assist pedestrian crossings as having 'loony push button instructions " What is "loony" about a button accompanied by a sign which illustrates that you use your finger to push a button if you want to actuate the pedestrian vAlk signal? To dear up your obvious owA don, the operatiorl of the walk signals includes -the following three indications: 1. A person walking symbol is illuminated to advise pedestrians that they may enter the intersection. For pedestrians who enter the intersection during the time that this symbol a illuminated, sufficient time to complete the crossing of the intersection safely G.e. before the cross street traffic is ight given the rof way) is provided. 2. A flashing red hand follows the "person walking" symbol to advise pedestrians that they should not enter the intersection. tl they do enter the crosswalk, they will not have sufficient time to cross the k tasectijon prior to the crass street traffic being givers the right of way. 3. An illuminated or solid red hand (not flashing) follows the flashing "red hand" to advise pedestrians not to enter the intersection since the cross street traffic has the right of way. In the case of a pedestrian who may be half way across Harwood Alanine, the appropriate action by the pedestrian would be to wait on the landscaped centre median (a safety feature in &4 until the traffic and Pedestrian signals dlange. These devices are intended to protect pedestrians, and the region Wows standard practices for signs, signals and the calculation of appropriate signal timings- What is required on the part of motorists and pedestrians is to be educated as to what these devices mean and how they are intended to work In your discussion of the operation of Bayly Street, you note that you questioned the region two years ago (1992) about the volmes and speeds on Bayly Street. You then go on to criticize them for basing part of their response on 1990 traffic numbers rather than "current" data lel 1992, the use of 1990 traffic volumes would be reasonable since ti is unlikely that significant growth in traffic would have oawed from 1990 to 1992 skm the relatively static growth in local development in that time period The region would know this based on their historical database and understanding of trends in traffic. Further to this, there were no new scads built on Bayly Street between Harwood and Burcher in the 1990 to 1992 period, and thereforf, one would not expect pedestrian volumes to have changed significantly in that time period. It must be realized that Bayly Street is an arterial road with the primary purpose to move regional and local traffic, and the Region of Durham Wada Dep irtmen t has the mandate to operate this road safely and eff dandy. Ba* Skeet is also the only east -west arterial road in Ajax between Highway 401 and Lake Ontario, and therefore, is a very important fink in the town's C ;.ontig as Paget 9 - ----- ----- -^ ~ _ _ - - The BaY News �• i?hldv 11. 1994 9 rn . .. ... .{ {, �;... .. ..Letters on t........... .....' transportation network. The traffic signals along Bayly Street have been designed by the region to move traffic efficiently while accommodating safe pedestrian crossings through the provision of pedestrian timings and specific signal indications. Other inaccuracies and problems in your reporting include the following: 1. A reference to the "fact" that there is an apparent accident problem at the Bayly/Burcher intersection. Where are your statistics to support this alarmist viewpoint, and if there were accidents, what were the causes? 2. That the Region of Durham adopted the use of the "Uniform Regional Institute of Northwestern University." This does not make any sense! For your information, there is a publication, Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices by the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (Mf0), and there is a Traffic Institute at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The apparent merger of MTO's manual and the Traffic Institute has apparently not been well publicized O d rv4. 3. in reference to measuring speed on Ba0y Street, you refer to the "old wire across the road trick" Although there are some road sensing devices which can measure vehicle speed, it is more likely that the Region used radar You are likely referring to rubber tubes on the road which are lirilued to devices which record traffic volumes. The recorded speeds on Bayly Street are certainly not inappropriate for an arterial road, and would likely be similar for virtually any arterial road in the Region of Durham. In summary, your editorial is inflammatory and paints a very distorted picture of traffic conditions m Ajax The same Ajax residents who, in your words, would be "scared" by the speed results and general safety conditions along Bayly Street also own and drive automobiles. Recent statistics from The Transportation Tomorrow Survey indicate that there are 1.78 automobiles per household in Ajax, and further, that over 50 per cent of commuter trips originating from Ajax are .J 1, 10 F r4EL—"4V A e 11/2 Air Conditioner �1 839-3234 LIVERPOOL Wn ftwo O N PLAN Heating & MT.

PwarinQ destined beyond the Region of Durham. Therefore, with an automobile - oriented population, and obvious conflicts with non -motorized forms of transportation, the key is to educate both groups on the Hiles of the road and to raise the awareness of safety issues. In a public forum such as your newspaper, howeve> one should adhere to the facts, and stay any from sensationalism and unfounded criticism of the so-called insensitive bureaucrats. In closing, why did the editor of The Bay News cross the road? To get to the school of responsible journalism (one would only hope). Garry Pappin Ajax Editor's Note: Inaccurate and alarmist? In 1992, local development had nothing to do with increased traffic on Bayly;heavy truck traffic did. This also increased the number of accidents occurring at Burcher and Bayly — ask any local resident. As for statistics regarding accidents, this was just one of the important components missing from the Kbrks Department's report. If radar was employed, this too was not mentioned. Your argument that no new schools had been added between 1990 and 1992 misses the point: given that children from no less than five nearby schools must cross at these fights, we say the speed has always been too high. Standard speeds on arterial roads throughout Durham is a myth. Does Highway 12 remain at 60 when it enters Whitby? And what about Highway 29 Is Bayly itself posted at 60 when it becomes Bloor St. in Oshawa? Bayly and Harwood are "downtown" Ajax. Why discriminate here? A study conducted by the University of Western Ontario determined that most stoplights change too quickly to allow for the elderly to cross safely. And when hit, the likelihood of death is considerably higher for those over 60. To label the Harwood/King's Crescent lights dangerous and confusing — for even the fittest among us — in no way overstates the case. Our seniors are Jaywalking daily. To avoid inaccuracies, before writing our editorial we did what any responsible journalist would do: we studied the report at length and we tried our best, without jaywalking, to follow instructions and beat the Harwood light. Did you? Your hard statistic that households in Ajax average 1.78 cars ignores another more important fact: that large numbers of our children and seniors must walk — and confront daily those very cars. Inflammatory and alarmist? We don't think so. You do, however make one valid point: the names of the manual and the traffic institute, although correct in the original copy, did indeed become combined during typesetting.

"This is one of the reasons the school is doing so well. The children actually love learning. Its delightful. - As you peek into the classes you see small children cheerfully socializing at miniature tables and chairs. The activities they busily work with are exquisite. They are beautifully, brightly colored and almost all of them are unique wooden creations crafted in Europe. Children of all ages have the opportunity to frolic together which gives the school that warm, family feeling. The amazing thing is that all the flan activities the children are doing have the additional purpose of preparing the children for all that they will need in life: reading. writing, mathematics, art appreciation, social skills, practical skills and music, just to name a few.

There are three Blaisdale campuses in the Durham area: one in Pickering and two in Ajax. The Pickering and Ajax campuses are located on large grassy playing fields with overhanging trees beside bright playing areas which is perfect for Blaisdale's fun summer camps.

Fun for all ages at National Sports at National Sports Amusement Centre From bumper cars to roller hockey to state-of- the-art video games, National Sports Practice Amusement Centre has plenty of activities to keep young and old alike busy. The amusement centre actually opened two years ago, but a recent expansion has more than doubled the activity area to 40,000 square feet of fun. The expansion has also doubled the traffic at the practice amusement centre, one of three in the Greater Toronto Area (the others are in Concord and Newmarket) and the only ones of their kind in Canada. "It was a business decision mostly — the space was available at the clearance store," said National Sports' Steve Mulhall. "But it's also something wve're trying to do about bringing the community together." The variety of activities available is incredible. If Irs video you Eke, there's an abundance of games, including driving games, street fighter and pinball. There's plenty of sports games where you can test your football throwing accuracy, basketball skills and putting talents. ,Many of the games offer a "play to win' function, dispensing coupons that can be redeemed at the centre for candy, sports cards, souvenirs and more. There are indoor batting cages where you can practice your swing or take lessons from a pro and the centre has a multi-purpose arena for in-line roller blaciing, ball hockey, basketball and soccer. Mulhail said ball hockey and roller hockey leagues will be operated out of the National Sports arena and he is also looking into hosting some tournaments. Dressing rooms and sports equipment rentals are also available. Super colider Fun Karts — the first in Canada — are bumper caa for d11d<en and adAs that are in popular demand at the Pickering localiorr. _ Perhaps the crowning achievement at the Kingston Road facility is the just -completed National Space Centre (NSQ an area heralding a new generation in irdoor play for ftien.

May 14 is the first of two vohuseer tree plantings days in the town, at both Rotary Park and the Millers Creek Greenbelt. The aim of the ambitious project is to plant 6,000 trees and shrubs to re-establish habitat in areas badly in need of forest cover. "The intention is to try to emulate a forest and eventually to improve areas that have become devoid of habitat," said Bruce Johnson, a landscape architect with the town. "The project can be easily done by staff but this is something that is important to have public participation." The eventual goal is to concentrate on native species to emulate a typical southern Ontario beech/maple forest, he added. Green thumbs are needed for an ambitious plan by the Town of Ajax and Tree Plan Canada, who provided a grant of just more than $15,000. The Ajax Rotary Club also kicked in with $5,000 in seed money. Parks and Recreation staff are also coursing on assistance from school children from both local school boards (the children, assisted by Ajax 4igh School students, will be planting seedlings May 20), the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority VrRCA), McDonakls and Ajax Transit. A variety of plants, with a corresponding range of growth rates, wig be planted during the campaign, which kicked off last week. Mature trees, six to seven -foot trees, shnft, saplings and seedlings wil be planted, with Johnson hoping for an 80 per cent success rate. *The hope is we can foster the important trees —like oaks and maples — to survive,* he said. The staff architect couldn't provide a total cost for the project, noting that there are "a kit of beams to be courted yet," but explained that his departmet t would So to expand the program to other areas of town "as the money became a i6W6w SPECIAL SPRING SIPMENT STANDARD 4 -WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKES NOT AVAILABLE ON AEROSTAR OR BASE CARAVAN TM sar�rvFoa ONE pow arrIce COMFORTABLE MAXIMUM TOWING 4.3 L V6 ENGINE SEATING FOR EIGHT CAPACITY — MORE HORSEPOWER NOT AVAILABLE ON BEATS CARAVAN THAN AEROSTAR OR CARAVAN OR AEROS T4 R CARAVAN FAnf= • Luxury Edition Options Include: Air Conditioning • Dally Wheels • AM/FM Stereo Cassette • Deep Tinted Glass • Automatic Power Door Loots • Captain's Chairs • 4.3 L V6 Engine • 4 -Speed Automatic Transmission • 8 Passenger Seating • Driver's Side Air Bag • Mui -Lock Brakes • Pulse Wipers • Plus Much, Much More.

"It was phenomenal," admits Geraldine "Gerry" Davidson who, along with Pat and Jack Brown, organized the 5th reunion of Ajax Teen Town. Held last Saturday night at the Ajax Community Centre, the reunion produced so much crying and hugging and animated chatting the DJ couldn't start the music until 10:30. Teen Town had its start in 1955 when, with no town council, a group of men calling itself the Ajax Recreation Committee decided it might be a good idea to run regular dances for the community's teenagers. Held in the old Ajax Community Centre (which burned down in the '60s and is now the site of the post office), the Saturday night dances quickly became overwhelmingly popular. 'We packed them in," laughs Gerry. "There could have been four or five hundred in there on a good rn Pickering High School student Danny Noland, probably 16 at the time, was appointed president and he and his committee immediately took over operation of the weekly event hiring off- duty policemen to ensure that hoods like o unity Calendar is a regular feature om upcoming events.

THE MASH BASH grana opening of the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital will he held Saturday, May 14 at the Ajax Community Centre from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. The $20 admission a night it was "the Fonz" couldn't break in and ruin the fun, and setting rules for dress and behavior (no necking on the dance floor). "Tickets were only 25 cents," says Gerry, "but in the 50's that money soon added up. We would have $1,000 in the bank and we'd donate it to needy families — quietly. The Retarded Children's Association became one of our favorite places for donations." Like so many others, 13 -year-old Gerry seldom missed the weekly dances. And faithful to their word, the Recreation Committee never once asked the teens to forfeit their night in the town's one - and -only hall. The dances lasted until 1962 when the music styles began to change. "A lot of us were older by that time," muses Gerry. "Some were married. And many wanted live bands rather than records." And Ajax Teen Town passed quietly into history. But the good times were not forgotten as 330 dancers packed the HMS Ajax Room on Saturday night. Danny Noland and his wife Jean were there, as was Bill Shaw, one of the regular off-duty cops. Ken and Ann McNeill and Roger Hacker made a special trip from California and Professor Donald Greerson came in from London. They arrived from Maryland, Ohio and P.E.I.
