In addition to community concerns regarding, among other things, lack of public input, Pickering council's recent engineering reports say that the multi -functional community centre "appears too ambitious for the modest parcel of land." Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MEE) and Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) reports claire that the required sewage system needed to accommodate the proposed structure, "is unlikely to meet MEE requirements within the Emits of the available property including the adjacent acquired property," due to "negative environmental impact." Municipal water and sewer services are not available in Claremont or at the site and some area well water is already contaminated The recent MNR-commissioned Oak Ridges Moraine report reveals that individual commercial and industrial water supply systems in Claremont have acperienced water quality problems. And only minor infilling should be allowed in the Hamlet of Claremont in order not to overtax sewer services and water supply. According to reports from two engineering firms the proposed facility will generate anywhere from 12,000 to 16,000 litres of sewage per day. In addition, shallow aquifer zones in the Claremont area already contain some wells which are contaminated with bacteria, chloride and nitrate. Ccnsultants have suggested to Pickering camx&rs that they find another site for the community centre complete with its own sewage treatment and disposal facility. It was also orovosed to build a sewage treatment plant and disposal facility away from the proposed community centre.

"There is so much still to be A P P R O V E D – ---: -DuPont service mark.

The thought saddens him. For although the Pickering resident is an extremely vigorous man (at 68 he still runs for an hour every morning), his work with the Ontario Labor Relations Board is unceasing. And he has fought the battle for human rights and dignity for too long to give it up now. As a black man originally from Jamaica, Armstrong is well familiar with the taunt: "Why don't you go back home where you came froml" He cant help but laugh at the irony. "It's been 47 years now since I came to Canada," he says. "rve given all my life to this country; when I travel, even to Jamaica, I look forward to coming back and being here." Indeed, he has been a Canadian far longer than most of those who have scorned him. The wrath of racists is familiar to Bromley Armstrong. He recalls vividly that period back in 1976 when he, a black man, was appointed the province's first full-time human rights commissioner and the fascist Western Guard retaliated by throwing a brick through the front window of his East York insurance office. Attached was a mock one-way ticket to Africa bearing an illustration of a monkey in a three-piece suit, with a menu suggesting the new human rights commissioner bring along some bananas to eat during his trip. Two week later, the same group slipped a red envelope through his door. The message read: "Prepare to die." Although the threats eventually eased off, Armstrong did not. His relentless dedication to fighting racism and human injustice earned him recognition when, in 1997, he was named a recipient of the Order of Ontario. Always known for his vociferous style, Armstrong had become a very controversial commissioner, a situation which "did not sit well with the government at the time," he admits. "But I'm the type of person who speaks out when there s an injustice. People may not like what I say — but I say it anyway- When nyway When Armstrong first came to Canada in 1947, it was with the intention of going to school. But a fire which destroyed virtually all his belongings altered his plans for a career. He ended up working for Massey Harris on King St. in Toronto. As one of the few men in his section of the plant who could speak good English, he found himself being called upon to relate the concerns of fellow workers to the union. Bromley Armstrong Order of Canada Bromley began taking courses in union procedures and improved his speaking ability through an 11 -week course with Dale Carnegie. He went on to become a shop steward at the plant, spending a total of eight years as a high-profile Massey Harris union official. Calling his trade union involvement "one of the highlights of my life," Armstrong has said that the experience would later prove invaluable in his dealings with others during his work in human rights issues. Changing the racial attitudes of others has never been easy but Armstrong insists that he enjoys his work. "When 1 see somebody up against the system, someone who doesn't know which way to turn, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to help them," he says. But he laments the fact that it takes so long to settle a case — and there are so very many. A natural at organizing, Armstrong has been active in so many national organizations, he can't even begin to name them all. He has been prominent in the National Black Coalition for many years; he founded the National Council of Jamaicans; and he is chair of the Canadian Centre for Police Race Continued on Page 15 WILDWOOD FORD SALES LTD.

"Our function is as a service club," says Watkins. "Over the years, many members have said that they thought we should have a clubhouse, but the club always voted it down.

Candidacy for Ajax The Ajax co-ordinator for the Taxpayers Coalition of Pickering and Ajax (TAXCOPA) has announced his candidacy for the position of Ajax Ward 1 local councillor. Ralph Golberg is very concerned with the high level of taxes, and he sees a need to slash the Ajax council's salaries by 15 per cent. Golberg views responsible and open fiscal management as a key issue for the Town of Ajax. Golberg also believes that one of the problems is that Ajax does not have a hometown feel to it. It is merely a suburb of Toronto. He says that this can Ward 1 be changed through zoning practices that establish Ajax's own downtown core. Ralph Golberg Golberg is married and has three children. His wife's name is Joanne. His children are Cameron, age 15, Joshua, age 9, and Andrea, age 6.

Town of Ajax endorses co-op purchasing The Town of Ajax has endorsed a purchasing co- operative concept with other municipalities in Durham Region. Councillors approved the concept, in principle, of buying commodities and services jointly with the neighboring communities in the region. So far, the region, Oshawa, Pickering, Whitby and Clarington - as well as four of the local utility companies - have expressed interest in the proposal. Ajax has already benefitted by participating in informal co- operative purchases for common items z such as road salt, gasoline and diesel fuel and stationary. The purpose of the co- operative, said a report from Ajax's finance department, is to promote efficiency in purchasing by: • jointly inviting tenders, quotations and proposals for common requirements, • encouraging standardization and improvement of specifications for common requirements, • exchanging market information, • promoting close co- operation, exchange of ideas, exchange of information and interaction among members and • encouraging professional development through joint study and evaluation of the purchasing process. The report noted 'real dollar savings" could be achieved by the town under the agreement but the exact figures would be 'difficult to quantify." 3F.1110 FAMILY GOLF COURSE 14 Holes • Par 3 For for the whole family!

The mystery deepens Our Canadian and Ontario governments both have developed a solid reputation — for good or evil — of tying most issues in knots: sending every good idea off for years and years of further study, making us wait forever for decisions on urgent matters. But if the questions surrounding daycare and wife assault and child support require so darn much planning and consideration, how come these same governments can be content to just rubber-stamp the spending of millions of dollars, all in the name of infrastructure funds? Just because a local town council says the project is what its residents want, is that enough surety to give it the go-ahead? These questions are worth asking. Because according to those who monitor such things, rubber-stamping has become the name of the infrastructure game. And Claredome — unless an irate citizenry works a miracle — would now seem to be pretty much a done deal. Claredome worries us. Passed by the same council which professes to concern itself with the quality of the drinking water supplied by Lake Ontario, the question of Claredome ignores just too many details. Why the 600 residents of Claremont would need (or desire) such a structure is puzzling. Why nobody bothered to consult openly with all of those residents is even more curious. And %-by go to the bother of refusing admittance to a Toronto Star reporter who travelled all the way to Claremont to attend the meeting? Why build the monster there — where serviced land does not yet exist? Why pay foil price for the property, unconditionally? Why look into further land acquisition and then deny it later? Why no open tendering? Why always the same architect? And now the latest. Why was a 1985 engineering report — and the fact that Claremont lies on the vital and sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine — ignored by the Town of Pickering? Why hire in another engineering Gra (at great expense to the taxpayer) when one of our most prominent — so less than Simeoe :Engineering — had already produced chapter ,and verse on the uswitabill!y of this location?

Although gmernment ovasperdin9 is partly to blame, I don't think that they have the power to turn our economy around. The governmerht's problem is that like most businesses, they have a slirhtlmg income- T Wre tog to hang on, too. I1 we realize what our economy is, we can better understand what is happening to it. Begin with your income, then subtract your fixed costs: taxes, utilities, food and shelter. You are left with your disposable income. This money, that is shrinking daily, is our This is what is happening. Large corporate stores have been coming to Canada and taking over our economy. I believe that they are the major cause of our recession. Because superstores have so much buying power, and because they are able to negotiate special deals with suppliers (which sounds lice price fixing to me), they can sell products bekxv the small businessperson's cost — sometimes so far below that people feel that the small bttsirtessperson must be cheating them. They are also less likely to stock Canadian products than Canadian small businesses. In trying to compete with the superstore, the small businesspeople continue to cut margins leader and leaver until they reach the paint where they must decrease advertising, cut back stock, lay off staff and eventually dose. This is where our jobs and livelihoods are going. How many of your friends and relatives have their own businesses? How many people hope for their children to start their own business some day? Can you honestly think of anyone you know who is likely to own a superstore? If the superstores cmfinue to open at the rate they are, almost all small business will be gone. The superstores will have total control of the Canadian economy. So how can we stop them? Remern* "there is no business without a sale." The superstores could not survive without your disposable income. If we stop supporting them and start supporting small Canadian businesses, we will see our eoonatry start to reme instantly. if title all start thinking about where our dollars go when they WW our podrets, it will be easier to decide how we spend them.

Heather Herkes A disappointed /an Runs in Ajax Ward 3 • Long-time resident Donna Baydak has announced her Intention to run for election in Ajax Wand 3 this November. Donna originally moved to Pickering Village in 1956 with her parents, Olive and Don Henderson. She grew up in the area, was married here and had a daughter at Ajax - Pickering Hospital. After spending several years in northern British Columbia, the Baydaks returned to Ajax. Donna is actively involved with Pickering Village United Church and enjoys doing volunteer work at the local hospital. "Several areas of concern within the new Ward 3 boundaries need to be addressed," says -Mrs. Baydak "These include preservation of the uniqueness of Old Pickering Village while at the same time encouraging controlled development; preservation of the waterfront areas around Duffins Creek and Lake Ontario; revitalization of the commercial areas along south Harwood Ave. and Bayly St; and the upgrading of some of the roads in the older sections of the ward." Donna Baydak believes that the town must continue to vigorously pursue new development and cultural pursuits such as theatre, creative arts and cinema within the framework of a long-range plan. "This type of development may be attainable through joint ventures with other levels of government and private enterprise in order to maintain zero per cent tax increases in future years." Donna Baydak She states that elected representatives should actively seek the opinions of their constituents about important issues prior to debating them on the council floor, whenever possible. This would guarantee more direct involvement by residents in decision making as well as in reducing the time wasted at council meetings changing and re -changing decisions due to negative feedback from residents after the fact. Donna is presently employed at the Food Town store in the Village but will give that up to make a 100 per cent commitment to the Town of Ajax when elected. "I waited to enter politics until I was in a position to give it my full attention," says Mrs. Baydak. "I believe that the residents deserve no less from those who represent them on council."

The four thugs, all wearing std masks, burst into the Bayly Street bar just after midnight and demanded cash. Several gang members were armed with nine millimeter handguns and a number of shots were fired, including one bullet that ricocheted off a Durham Regional Police cruiser during the subsequent chase. A patron, who had stuck his head out the back door as the bandits were fleeing to try and see the licence number of their getaway car, was also shot at, Staff Sgt. Sandy Ryrie said. Other shots were fired into the ceiling of the bar. `It's only a matter of time before someone gets injured or killed, Ryrie said. "It does seem the robberies are getting more violent."

It to the throat of one of the bar employees, demanding to know where the safe was located. The robbers made the patrons and staff he down and the floor and stole cash and Jewelry, netting only a little more than $1,000 from the bar and from the pockets of the 20 customers. No one was injured during the robbery. Officers from 25 Division in Pickering chased the gang, who were driving a stolen 1992 Dodge Caravan, east into Metro but lost the car near Meadowvale Road. The minivan was discovered just before noon at the Alton Towers apartment building in Scarborough. Ryrie believes the gun amnesty program, in place until the end of the month, may help get more guns off the street and reduce the potential for armed robberies like Saturday's incident. `We know criminals aren't turning up to turn in their guns but if more people turn in weapons there will be less chance of (the weapons) being stolen and then used in a break- in. It only takes a few minutes to cut down a shotgun or rifle into an easily concealable weapon." Police from Durham and Metro, as well as OPP officers, are hunting the robbers. The only description is that they were all black, with one Asian gang member. Texas Country, Iocated on the north side of Bayly Street, between Westney Road and Harwood Avenue, and owned by Terry Sheridan, has been open since April. Anyone with any information on the robbery or the the identity of the suspects is asked to call the Durham robbery squad at 683-9100 or Crime Stoppers at 436-8477.

The disease was discovered during routine testing during the last few days of the mans life, said Garth Johns, the hospital's vice-president of human resources and hospital services. There is no way of knowing, Johns added, if the disease was linked to the man's death. "There is no way of establishing a causal relationship. (The disease) showed up, that's all we know." Hospital staff do not know if the disease was acquired at the hospital but Johns said there is "no need to panic," pointing out that all areas of the hospital have been tested for the disease. As well, doctors and staff have been alerted to watch for symptoms of the disease and experts in the field, from as far away as Pittsburgh, have been contacted. Hospital staff have taken other safety measures, such as closing the affected area and moving all patients who may be at risk from the area. "We are working as quickly as possible to discover the extent of the contamination. In the meantime we are taking all precautionary measure to ensure that our patients and staff are not put at risk. We are working closely and co-operatively with Durham Region public health in addressing this problem." Legionnaires' Disease can be contracted when a person inhales water droplets from an infected source. The symptoms of the disease are flu-Gke and may include high fever, coughing, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The dangerous is most dangerous to older people and to those whose immune system is already weakened by illness. People who are otherwise healthy are less susceptible but may suffer similar flu-like symptoms for one or two days. There were two reported cases in Durham last year but Johns, who assured residents that there is no cause for concern, believes this is the first report of the disease at Ajax -Pickering General Hospital. "As far as we're concerned, we've eradicated (the disease). It's business as usual for us."

Cuts to welfare for the disabled will cost more "The provincial governments which are cutting welfare payments to people who have mental illnesses are creating 'false economies,'" says Sharon Barnes, national president of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Following a Canada -wide poll of CMHA locations, Barnes alleges that by reducing caseloads and monthly payments in an effort to cut costs, governments may be inadvertently targeting very vulnerable people. "This creates false economies in two ways," says Barnes. "When people are ready to leave hospital they often are unable to obtain 'start up' funding to acquire housing and other essentials. This means they become trapped in expensive institutional care." "Welfare departments are saving some money, while health fatalities end up spending millions more," says Barnes. "For every day a hospital release is delayed, health departments must pay hundreds of dollars more." The second area of high expense according to Barnes are the 'revolving doors.' Low social assistance payments cause people to cycle endlessly between community living and hospital care. In addition to dealing with effects of the illness, people must cope with uncera:r. income and substandard living conditions. "People are not helped in their quest for independence," says Barnes. "And this is one of the major causes of hospital re- admission rates, which exceed more than 50 per cent across the nation." Mentally ill people, like most disabled people, would like to be independent and accepted in a usual home and community environment. "The lack of transitional support," says Barnes, "will sentence thousands to a life of poverty and institutional care, while costing Ca7.adian taxpayers millions than necessary." � 7,.1 PM.r MbkA•1t THREES COMPANY: Natasha Faechini, her brother Chris and cousin Chad Samelko peek around a concrete pipe at the Rotary Park playground in Ajax.

Willis This Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Ajax's Rotary Park will play host to a cultural movement that has influenced literature, the visual arts and music since the early 1980s. Morgaine Le Fay, an acclaimed quartet that draws on Celtic traditions, is bringing this renaissance to the town's successful "Music in the Park" series. Celtic music and the instruments unique to this tradition have broad appeal with fans of rock, punk and country alike: witness Scotland's Big Country, Irelands Pogues and Canada's Rankin Family. But the Ajax audience will, however, be treated to something completely different. Melding ancient Scottish pipe -music dances and Maritime jigs with diverse contemporary styles such as hip-hop and bayou blues, Morgaine Le Fay draws an ancient, mythical world into the flashy realities of today's music. Certainly their unrivaled approach to concocting sound has met with success. This band has been described as "compelling" and even "infectious" by prominent Canadian artists from both the mainstream and avant guard scenes. Their first tapes — a self -titled collection of old standards and original tunes — has garnered applause from the music press. Such praise shouldn't surprise, however, considering the bard's members are veterans of music communities in Canada, the United States and Europe. Pat O'Gorman, a founding member of Rare Air, is no stranger to radio and television audiences. His haunting but spirited Highland bagpipe has graced several recordings on various labels. O'Gorman has also had a hand in arranging, composing and recording soundtracks for Canadian feature films. Like O'Gorman, Andy Stochansky, the band's percussionist, has a history in both recording and television studios. He has toured and A pub grub glossary By Susan M. Willis There was a time when pub grub meant...well... something may. If you wanted food to accompany a beer, wine or other libation, the pickings were slim: a bag of peanuts, a pickled egg or shrivelled pepperoni. But now that competition is stiff and local publicans are vying for regular patrons, the menu has become a beckoning tool. Indeed, its time to take another look at the fare offered by our local watering holes. Pub grub menus have acquired new heights, surpassing by far the variety and quality of their predecessors. O.K., so it Isn't haute cuisine, but it is equally delectable. The current offerings are sometimes leaner, often meaner and frequently International in flavor. Since you could have a little trouble navigating the new menus, here Is a brief but effective guide to contemporary pub grub: Nachos: Corn chips smothered in melted Monterey Jack cheese and a sprinkling of sliced jalapdio peppers. Served vAhh salsa, solar cream and chili, this dish will warm the heart of any Tex-Mex fan. Cruditii: Also known as veggies and dip. Many establishments offer carrot, celery and a d* d sticks with a choice of dips: herb, Caesar or blue cheese. Potato skins: Large baking potatoes are halved or quartered, scooped out, and the skins are deep fried. The result is big, chewy chips but become something special when topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream and chives. Wings: Chicken wings have become the quintessential bar food, and are available in several sauce styles including honey - garlic or barbecue. But by far the most popular is Buffalo style, a sauce that combines melted butter and Louisiana hot sauce. (So where does Buffalo enter into things? The recipe was formulated at the now -infamous Anchor Bar in Buffalo.) The amount of "heat" depends upon the individual: mild, medium, hot or suicide are the standards. French -Fried Veggies: Mushrooms, cauliflower, zucchini and broccoli are dipped in a CURHAM'S NEWEST AND BEST COUNTRY WESTERN $ R IS NOW HEREM offiMMMORM •CoomrVma is dnssod fa atty'loal,' �{► ' stud enjoy 5 ddilikims wig 1 MONDAYS - Pool Tournament- TUESONS - Karaoke featuring MIKE PRESTON WEDNESDAYi - DJ Night with Syl THum., Fitt i SAT - Lla 80dalemettt SUDDEN STORM St•rgn0 d P.SO p.m. ($2.110 cover chap) $UN. -Hoag Bond SUDDEN STORM � • POOL DW • DART$ • 11111110 t1CAEN • DANCE RAOR • • QKR FOOD • ORM RM • OVER aM0iP1ERE • • HOME STYLE COOKING • "GOLDENSPURS" 114 Dundas Open d. recorded with several Canadian artists including performance artist Meryn Cadell and former Blue Rodeo keyboardist Bobby Wiseman. Stochansky, who has studied both jazz and West African dnunrning, draws "world beat" rhythms into Morgaine Le Fay's line-up. October Browne, noted for her "lofty and haunting" vocals, studied guitar at the Jazzmobile in Harlem. Prior to the bands formation, she was involved in the Irish and acoustic music scenes in both Toronto and New York City. Jamie Snider, playing fiddle, guitar and concertina, is described as "truly a product of Canadian traditional music." He Tempura -style batter and then deep-fried until crispy. These morsels will reform even the toughest veggie hater. Breaded Mozzarella: A similar technique is applied to boring cheese and, when served with tomato sauce, the white matter really comes to life. Mozzareila is cut into sticks, breaded with herbed crumbs and fried until golden brown. T e in Ajax was influenced early in life by the music of the Ottawa Valley, and later by traditional East Coast music. Snider has been on the traditional Canadian music scene for over 20 years and much of his material has joined the list of Maritime standards. When all are brought together on stage, the result is stunning. Morgaine Le Fay recently wowed local audiences at Pickering's Grassroots Festival and similar successes have been reaped in a remarkably short period of time. It was only two years ago that the idea for Morgaine Le Fay was born, according to the band, "around the kitchen table over many cups of tea." cheese filling melts to a chewy consistency. Garlic Bread with Cheese: Many are opting for this menu selection instead of pizza. Thick slices of Calabrisi bread are toasted with butter, a lot of garlic, and Italian seasonings.

I401 e -f- Aug. 1-7 "Project Purple We'e'--k" In the first coordinated effort of its kind, the first week of August had been dubbed "Project Purple Week" by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), to stem the wetland killer purple loosestrife. The OFAH is calling on every available hand in the province to launch local control efforts on the deadly perennial plant the week of Aug. 1-7. Traditionally, the plant is in full bloom during this week and is getting ready to set off mature seeds. Each plant produces approximately 2.7 million seeds each year, which Dave Gnffittu 427, Mitch Griffiths 683 Dan McBride 427 luc Bowdring 68 Dave Saville 683 Len Ovigley 839 travel to nearby wetlands and choke off invaluable fish and wildlife habitat. Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) came to North America more than a century ago from its native Europe, but only in the past decade has its bright fushia blooms begun to spread like wildfire across the province. In Canada, the plant has no natural enemies and its massive root systems and woody stems make it a mighty competitor, bumping aside all native vegetation that serve as food and shelter for thousands of fish, wildlife and insect species. As a result, once -thriving wetlands choked by loosestrife become vast fields of silent, dead purple. Each year, North America loses hundreds of thousands of wetland hectares to the loosestrife plague — this, in light of the fact that many populated areas saw much of their wetlands destroyed by development after the turn of the century. But there is hope. In 1992 the OFAH launched "Project Purple," an education and research program to show people how to control the plant and avoid its spread. 11% C:�w FOR US TO BE HEM PROVINCRUY!

At rrx ist 3. 1944 13 to'stem the wetland killer This year, for the first time, the call is out Aug. 1-7 for individuals, groups and municipalities to mount concerted control efforts. In the past, many organizations have made a pleasurable day out of loosestrife control efforts, which included recreational events or a picnic/BBQ. The OFAH has also renewed its call to Ontario municipalities to declare the plant noxious under the Ontario Weed Control Act. Over the past years, more than 70 municipalities — including Metropolitan Toronto — have taken this step, promoting the plant's control. In addition, many nurseries have stopped selling the plant for home gardens, a problem which was compounding loosestrife's spread. "For three years, the OFAH has waged war against purple loosestrife and there are many positive signs," said Dr. Terry Quinney, of OFAH provincial coordinator of fish and wildlife services. "But we need every available hand at the most important time of the year if we are to make a real difference." But the plant must be controlled carefully, or more harm than good can be done. For more information on loosestrife and how to control it, call the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711. Organizations that do mount control efforts are asked to tali the hotline to register their efforts. Project Purple is a program of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters with support from The Environmental Youth Corps, Weed Man, the Shell Environmental Fund, Guelph University, Nipissing University, the North Bay- Mattawa and Mattagami Conservation Authorities, and the North Bay and Timmins offices of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

When it came time for him to retire, he agreed to stay on in his government job so he could organize four major conferences which he had in mind. And he has done this, at the rate of one a year. The first was a national conference on non-violence, studying the policies of Ghandi and Martin Luther King; next came "Jamaica, out of many, one people" (based on the motto of that country). A race relations conference involving the justice system and the community followed the next year, and finally, the most recent — the Black Community and the Media. Armstrong's one hope is that he can pass on what he has learned to those young people out there so much in need of guidance. "ft's vital that we find some type of leadership to do the work and keep it in the right direction," he says. While the Western Guard may no longer actively threaten, he imows ri,.ey are "still around." T. -.e Hen:2-,e Front is one of the uq% he continues to monitor. "Every week I get something coming out of Oshawa," he says. The latest is a flyer being sent out to white women who are living with black men. "It says: We're watching you ... we know who you are ... you'll pay for this.' "The Heritage Front is just one of many U.S. supremacist groups," he says. "Unfortunately, they have decided it's better to pollute young minds. And they do this by misrepresenting what they are. The good thing is that once kids see what this group is really about, a lot find that this is not the way to go. But then they put themselves at risk when they try to get out. This group is dangerous, it's like a cult."

A warm and gracious man, Armstrong still seems surprised that this year, on July 1, he was awarded the prestigious Member of the Order of Canada. Protesting that "it's just a continuation of what rve been doing all along," he also admits that this new distinction is "really quite an achievement, I guess." His nomination to the Order of Canada, which was originated by a professor in Nova Scotia, was supported by groups in both that province and in Ontario. The process takes three years before the award is given; it's been three very busy years for this man who knows he may never be able to retire.

Thomson had disappeared while fishing some eight days earlier. The cause of his death was Wiled accidental drowning even though he had a four -inch cut on his forehead and his feet were wrapped with fishing line. To Auditions Auditions for The County Town Singers will be held on Sept. 14, 21 and 28 at Cormack Station, 250 Hickory St. S., Whitby. We are a non -denominational choral group from all walks of life. Sections include soprano, alto, tenors and basses. Tenors and basses are especially required- We do pop and show music as well as jazz, traditional and sacred music. For more information on auditions please call 837-2144 (Ajax -Pickering area) and 725- 0802 (Oshawa area). this day, his death remains a mystery — was it an accident, or was it murder? The aura of mystery surrounding Thomson's death has added to myth of his life. He was an avid outdoor adventurer — hiking, canoeing and living in Algonquin Park for months on end. And he was a passionate artist, intent on capturing on canvas the turbulent moods and seasons of the land he loved so much. Thomson talked and wrote little about himself or his ideas — he used his art as his voice. And his art was an inspiration to the artists who formed the Group of Seven in 1920. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg celebrates Torn Thomson in a permanent exhibition of his work. Close to 50 of his sketches and paintings, including Summer Day 1916, Byng hiiet, Georgian Bay 1914-1915, Autumn Birches 1916, Wood Interior, Winter 1915, and Tea Lake Dam 1917, are on display every day. Rediscover the art and the myth of Tom Thomson at the McMichael.

New home sales continue strengthening trend Figures, released on July 18 by the Greater Toronto Home Builders Association (GTHBA) indicated that there were 1,103 new homes sold in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) during June 1994, a healthy 43 per cent increase over the 772 new homes sold in June 1993. June's new home sales were down 14 per cent from May 1994 consistent with past years. In fact, June new home sales have only exceeded May sales once (in 1992) since 1983. "We are delighted with these results, particularly in light of the uncertainty generated by recent increases in mortgage rates," said GTH president Peter Langer. "Price -conscious consumers are clearly recognizing the excellent new home values on the market today, while viewing higher interest rates as a short-term concem." "This is the ninth consecutive month in which new home sales have substantially exceeded the same month the previous year," Langer noted. "June's results were buoyed by strong condominium sales and new project openings, with both first-time and move -up buyers active in the market." In the first six months of 1994, 9,485 new homes were sold, a whopping 74 per cent more than the 5,447 sales in the first half of 1993 (the Toronto resale market expanded by 38 per cent in the same period). 'The more than 4,000 additional sales translates into more than 10,000 new jobs, a fantastic contribution to the GTA economy," Langer said. The Housing Data Report (HDR), prepared by PMA Group (Brethour Research) for the GTHBA, stated that June new home sales consisted of 782 freehold homes (71 per cent) and 321 condominiums (29 per cent). It is estimated that each new home built generates 2.5 person-years of employment, the equivalent of two -and -a -half full-time jobs for one year JUNE ' 94 NEW HOME SALES BY MUNICIPALITY MUNICIPALITY FREEHOLD CONDO TOTAL Pickering 39 4 43 Ajax 5 22 27 Bowmanville 27 0 27 Oshawa 26 0 26 Whitby 85 7 92 0 Waste -watching it used to be trash. Now it's waste and rm supposed to manage it. A sad commentary on the erosion of yet another cherished pillar of our civilization, the local dump. Recently, I received my new dump card. The good old days of the community exchange, when neighbours could socialize while picking over each other's discarded junk are now restricted to garage sales. Vanishing is the trading ritual of pick ups parked tailgate to tailgate at the dump, shuttling stuff back and forth without ever throwing it out. Dump demise is good news for flea markets, where one gets to pay for that which used to be picked up there for free. Revenue Canada is cheering the disappearance of this underground economy. It is a sad day, however, for tomorrows archaeologists. Closed dumps herald the end of bear watching at dusk, skunk avoidance at dawn and fly dodging ad infinitum. Also, crows, gulls, rats, smells, dust and squishy things underfoot. Now they all require dump cards too. I remember when I put trash and laundry in similar green bags. And one day threw out the wrong one. Irretrievable now with restricted access. Then I spent the afternoon rooting around in the dump for my errant duds; now Cd have to wash 'ri wear garbage. Some choice. With tipping fees, therel be no more neighbourly taking of communal garbage. Not when charges of overdumping or card fraud could be pending. Besides, who knows what illegal substances a neighbour might be trying to smuggle in? My dump is a fortress. Gates, fences and guards caned dumpmeisters. The younger ones are apparently caned dumpsters. They even have attack bean to keep illegal dumpers at bay. Dump security is a strange concept: fve never seen it as a mecca to which I'm irresistibly drawn with the uncontrollable urge to dump. Maybe there have been line-ups of raving lunatics when I wasrit looking. There's more: recycling, biodegradable products, and pay per pound — and soon, refuse rationing — consume as much as you wish, but throw away only one bag per week. Think of the possibilities: folks shot while trying to sneak their extra garbage into neighbouring cams; the debut of the one -ton garbage bag; black market trash; larger coffins to accommodate both corpse and the family's surplus garbage; demand for extra large safety deposit boxes; refuse fashions, furniture and fuel; inheriting trash from some obscure aunt; depressions triggered by popular reluctance to buy anything that isn't guaranteed to disappear immediately. Some Toronto streets already have that. Waste management is becoming a status symbol. My municipality spent more than yours trying to find a new dump site. With blue boxes, folks know more about their ne.. ')ours than ever before. What detergent is used and whose kids eat macaroni dinners. Who drinks wha. and how much? Keeping up with the Joneses dictates that empty liquor bottles are more expensive brands each week. As competition heats up, they'll be . Ll . I . - The Bay News • k,. August 3. 1994 lT throwing out half empties, then unopened bottles. My own blue box experience is a case in point. Dutifully, I placed my washed cans out, but they were not picked up. Thinking they were getting pretty choosey, I de -labelled and set out again the next week. No pick up. What was wrong? Why was my garbage being rejected? Wasn't it good enough? Clean enough? Orderly enough? What were the neighbours thinking? Desperately, I tried different set out times; polished and scrubbed cans; laid out neatly gleaming arrangements with all my newly acquired waste management skills. Nothing gone! What snobs these garbage men, er, sanitary engineers must be! A failure at life, l bought more upscale brands and saw a therapist about waste rejection. I also prepared cash bribes Finally swallowing my pride, 1 called the municipal offices to plead for acceptance. 1 explained how my ancestors came over with the Mayflower and what a decent person I really am. Why my garbage was so good it was practically recycled already! Only to be quietly informed that blue box pickup didn't start until next week. I'm still struggling with my inferiority complex. But this episode made me think. To avoid unnecessary sorting, packaging, tying, carrying and inspection by dump security people recruited from Canada Customs, I have trimmed my consumption and changed byring habits. I bear my dump card proudly with my credit cards and use it more wisely. I started a compost heap which my dogs love. Sure, garbage isri t as carefree as it used to be, but then neither am I. It's time I did my bit for the environment and waste management is a simple start. The wife says that for a real challenge I should get into waist management, but I am too polite to ask whether she means hers or mind.

Perks are not enough to fix the deficit By Paul Pasaudo Perla, benefits, allowances — call them what you will. Nothing angers taxpayers more than politicians voting drenaekres spedd privilegm Preston Mannings tax-free soda, a $rmilhon pension for Perrin Beatty and a fun filled Florida vacation for the C hretien family complete with a $2 million taxid sidized Challenger Jet and crew. But while these examples and hundreds of others We them are important, we have to keep them in perspective. A lady calling in on a tal dm recently suggested the federal government could balance its budget by having MPs close their constituency offices one day a week. Well intentioned as the caller may have been, her suggestion Illustrates how public focus on pokticlans has resulted in a huge misunderstanding as to the scope and size of our fiscal malaise. The fuss over pay and perks has led many to think the problem is what politicians spend on themselves — fix that and you fix the deficit. Consider this. We could eliminate all the overhead costs of the federal government, fire every civil servant and shut down the administration of every department and still be just half way to elimination the federal deficit. Shutting down the House of Commons and Senate would net the equivalent of a mere three days interest on our federal debt. Don't get me wrong. The elimination of perks and benefits are critical because governments desperately need to restore the respect of those they govern, which is difficult to do when you're seen as lining your own pockets. And rightly so. MLA and MPP pension benefits, for example, are nothing short of outright contempt for the taxpaying public they supposedly represent. But these "lead by example" issues are just the prelude to far greater spending ads. More than half of the federal government's program spencling involves transfers to individuals and other levels of government. The big bucks are in Old Age Security, $20.6 -billion; Unemployment Insurance Benefits, $18.3 -billion; and transfer payments to the provinces, $26.3 -billion. Most provinces, meanwhile, spend roughly 70 per cent of their budgets on health, education and social services. These are precisely the public policy areas that governments will increasingly grapple with and in many cases simply get out of in the future. It's not easy medicine to swallow. But unfortunately Milds furniture doesn't measure up to the multi -billion dollar debt-financed entitlements we have cane to take for granted for too long.

Teachers Angels on the ice What could be a better retreat than an ice -rink on a warm sultry days And what could be a sight more pleasing than watching two ten -year-olds effortlessly glide on ice — figure skating! Friday was a treat day as I stumbled into the ice rink at the Ajax Community Centre and, to and behold, there they were — angels on the ice — doing their rounds with perfect elegance and poise. I stood charmed in a corner as Teri Alexander and Stefanie Tomei, oblivious to an intruder, practised under the watchful eye of their pretty coach Lesa Pieterse. A jump here and a spin there, then a flip and suddenly a combination and back again to smooth sat1ing. It was a great experience, and after stealing a free show I encountered the girls as they headed back to the dressing room. Teri and Stefanie are two local talents, representing the Pickering Figure Skating Club. Teri, a 5th grade student of Sir John A. MacDonald School, has been with the dub for the last five years and under Lesa's care for the last three. Stefanie, also a Grade 5 student, attends St. Marguerite Bourgeoys school and has been with the dub and her coach for two years. When taking about her students, Lesa exhibits a lot of confidence and faith in both of them. Teri, she says, is really high-spirited. ver; energenc. always on the edge — first one to get or. ice and usually L. e last to ge- cif She is extremely dedicated and a very punctual indi,, dtuai. excellent, concludes the coach. illi Stefanie, on the other hand, has shown remarkable progress over the last season. tier skating has improved and she now performs with more control and poise. She has become a hard worker, a lot more dedicated. This, Lesa says, is due to the fact that Stefanie has just started r participating in competitions this year, therefore the sport has become more enjoyable for her As far as competitions go, Teri Alexander explains Less, both girls focus on free skating but practice is of a different nature. To make it more meaningful and wholesome all three disciplines — dance, figure and free skating — are included. Then there are periodic tests conducted to upgrade students. The Canadian Figure Skating Association sends judges who evaluate skaters by watching different aspects, like control, movement, various jumps, etc. The coach also explained how skating is introduced and taught to beginners. The dub has an 8 -badge Canskate programme, which teaches the basic elements in figure skating. Once this hurdle is cleared the individual becomes a Junior skater. Both her students are junior skaters. Now, Lesa says, Teri does Preliminary freeska ft is on 2nd figure and does Senior Bronze dances; Stefanie also does Preliminary freeskating but B on First figure and does Junior Branae dances. Lesa, as a pound coach, does not fail to present some Std Tontuei competition results of her students. The latest competition Teri attended was D'itoskaie where she stood &W. Before that It was Fenlon Fals 04 and th&fdge WQ. Steb* an 51h at Fen lm Falls and 3rd at Nvyers Mini Blades. Talk of bwrftes and the cry is unanimous — Elvis Stojko_ fidure p5 and ambitions? Both want to stay YA figure skating but Teri wends to make ft right to the Olympics. And why not? Both are young; both have talent and potential. Let us wait and watch — maybe one of them (or both) will do Picketing and Canada proud some day. StnkM gold on blades!
