The lengthy debate may go for nought, �-,owever, because of too many unanswered questions, especially over access to the lands. And f regional councillor Maurice Brenner gets his gray, the entire plan may be pulled before next Monday's council meeting and sent back to the drawing board. Brenner, who said he had a "bad taste" in his mouth over the proposal, said there were too many problems with the plan for him to embrace it. "The entire plan is premature," he said. "In fad, the whole matter should not even be here." The study was initiated in February of 1993 in response to a number of development applications in the study area, which is roughly triangular in shape and bounded by Vverpool Road on the east, Highway 401 on the south and Kingston Road on the north. Staff was instructed to present s p C11 111 s U Y=- ;v guidelines, for future development in a mixed -used neighborhood that would compliment Pickering•s main central area, just to the east. The plan, costing, $400,000 -v ($10,000 from the town, $30,000 from v a r i o u s Aw landowners) was brought to z `. council last June but was deferred until Monday night for further t` revisions and more feedback Maurice Brenner from the public Most of the feedback came from representatives of the Liverpool West Community Association (LWCA), who demanded council reject a staff Continued on Page 3 Pickering woman killed in Brougham blaze A 62 -year-old Brougham -area woman perished screams, were able to escape, Durham Regional in a fire Saturday night that engulfed a farmounse on Police say. the airport lands.

It is obviously best to contribute to an RRSP with available funds. If this is not possible, however, we recommend borrowing money to make the RRSP contribution, with strict diligence to repaying the loan quickly. Contributions to an RRSP are deductible for any given year, if they are contributed in the year or within 60 days after the end of the year. If you want to borrow, we recommend that you borrow within those last 60 days — but no later than March 1, 1995 — and repay immediately once cash is available or once your tax refund comes in. This shortens the period of borrowing required. Your refund should produce 40 to 50 per cent of the loan. Then with monthly payments the rest can be repaid before the next RRSP deadline date. You could choose to delay your RRSP until another year when PUT AND NOW YOU CAN INVEST IN SEAWAY VALLEY FARMERS ENERGY CO-OPERATIVE AS IT MOVES FORWARD TO BUILD AN ETHANOL PLANT IN CORNWALL.

The Taxpayers' Coalition of Pickering and Ajax (TAXCOPA) is hosting what is expected to be the largest protest yet of the "No More Taxes" rallies that are being held around the country. The speakers' list includes a number of tax experts, journalists and politicians, including MPP Jim Wiseman, MP Dan McTeague and Reform Party leader Preston Manning. While the federal government has suggested that tax hikes are imminent, recent tax rallies have put pressure on the government to reconsider the viability of increasing taxes. Canadians already pay their fair share of taxes. The economy is fragile and the middle class has been pushed to the edge in terms of taxes. Attend the rally and send your message to those in charge. It's easy for our elected friends in Ottawa to Ignore a lone voice howling in the wind. It's harder to ignore the cries of angry taxpayers when they take on the force of a hurricane. Let the gale blow. Send our elected representatives a signal now, before they tax us out of existence. Severance pay 'disturbing' To the editor: The headline in The Bay News on Jan. 25 "Ousted councillors eligible to collect severance" pay is more than disturbing to this regional taxpayer, who is forced to help foot the bill for as much as $77,000 in 1995 — and who knows how much in subsequent years. It is stated that Durham council approved severance packages for councillors in April 1993 but the vote was not recorded. Why not? And if not recorded, how can Durham councillors collect this self-imposed perk at taxpayers expense. Susan Dulny claims she supported the package — why wouldn't she, realizing she probably would lose as councillor in the Nov. 14 election. What councillor wouldn't vote in a similar manner? :Severance pay, in my understanding, is offered by an employer to an employee whose job Is Germinated by the employer. The taxpayers of Durham, as the empkw, did not condone severance pay ,lull. Mea. WRITING WITH STYLE: Grade 1 teacher Jean Moore shows her students, left to right, Emily. 6. Paul. 6.

The offer of severance pay to councillors should be rescinded before every other government employee gets on the bandwagon and votes themselves a similar sweetheart deal, whether after six months in office (Elliot) or for an extended time (Conway, Haddon, Dionne, Batten, Dulny). The $60,000 already paid to councillors should be retrieved from these trough feeders before other oinkers join the party. For Susan Dulny's information: Ajax municipal offices state that only the mayor is a full-time position, a regional councillor is part-time. Where in the private sector would part-timers entitle themselves to such perks? This is bureaucracy gone amokl W. Perry Ajax -Tax coalition non-partisan To the editor: We are very concerned by the letter to the editor in the Feb. 8 edition of your newspaper. First, let me clarify a few misconceptions presented in the letter by one'Ms. Joanne Macorberts. The Taxpayers Coalition of Pickering and Ajax (TAXCOPA), is a non-partisan, non-profit organization, staffed by volunteers. The proceeds from the donations made to attend the rally will go to offset our costs, i.e., hall rental, chairs, sound systems, etc. Our aim is to be fiscally responsible. Not one penny of the monies collected will be going into Reform Party coffers, or any other party's coffers. Ms. Macorberts claim that Preston Manning will be "lining his pockets" with proceeds from the rally, borders on libel. Perhaps she should seek legal advice on the matter, as we will be. The item we find most puzzling Is the question of the identity of Ms. Macorberts. We suggest that in the future, your newspaper take the time to verify both facts and author of your written word in order to avoid any future legal ramifications. An apology is in order. Janice Frampton Vice -President TAXCOPA Councillors 'ripping off' community To the editor: 'I was always under the impression that running for office was something you wanted to do to better the comrnunity. It seems to me that these councillors who take this so-called severance package are just thinking of themselves and ripper off our community. After all, they were elected to office, and their loss in the election only reflected their inability to perform and please the hard-worlting, tax- paying public. After all, if I lost my job because of fault or irviAty to perform it properly, I would not receive benefits like severance packages. . Ajax -Pickering Hospital has just announced yet another closure of much needed hospital beds. By paying these ridiculous severance packages the former councillors are directly responsible for these closures. I demand that all property taxes be held at current levels and the termination of all severance packages to former elected officials.

Elaine Minacs, owner and president of The Minacs Group in Pickering, is not your average business person, however She finds plenty of sl - ver linings from those eat days, nearly 14 years ago, when she kick-started The Employment Centre. It was the middle of a recession and Minacs' first budget was only $20,000, but she remembers it with a smile. Perhaps not the good old days, but... "it was the traditional meagre start-up — I didn't take a salary for the first two years — but it was a heckuva lot of fun," she recalled in an interview. "When you start getting bigger you look back on those times very fondly. You can lose that 'fun' ele- ment. You can't forget that." The timing wasn't the best, but as Minacs freely admits, she didn't know enough to realize her 'mis- take' in judgement "I was eager, but I don't think 1 was armed prop - 0r1 at th t It t The Children's Aid Society Foundation presorts THE DURHAM REGION ROMAN CATHOLIC SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD Inx ites All Interested Parents / Guardians and Ratepayers to an INFORMATION MEETING Regarding Registration for IMMERSION FRENCH PROGRAM: GRADE 4 (entry point) DATE: QUEEN ELIZABETH BUILDING PLACE: Exhibltlon Place �,u. �%' Toronto 747 LIVERPOOL RD.

"We struggled for a couple of years but I think the recession really helped us learn, about business. It really started to take off after about five years." Minacs, with a background in human resources and a stint as a full-time mother, had one employee in 1981 when she opened the ternporary employ- ee business. Today, The Minacs Group — wholly owned by Minacs — is split into several divisions, each specializing in one facet of customer service. The company employs approxi- mately 350 people, plus 200 to 300 temporary workers. The core business is still tem- porary office and industrial ser - but outsourcing — per- forming non-core work for other firms — has become the company's biggest revenue earner. The Minacs Group employees manage mail rooms, administers benefits and payroll and take care of all -h m c an ung and telemarketing services. The call -handling sector — The Customer Care Centre — is an independent facility with 11 highly trained representatives who answer 1-800 calls "transparently." They also conduct some outbound telemarket- ing, Minacs said, but only for a few high-profile companies. "We're not equipped for the K -Tel knives or Elvis tapes," she wryly noted. The Customer Care Centre division already accounts for half of Minacs' revenue. expected to approach $20 million this year. While the company is enjoying unprecedented success — including recognition from the Ajax - Pickering Board of Trade as one of the top local businesses — Minacs has also received personal accolades, including the prestigious Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Quality Plus Award in 1993.

"It's wise not to dwell on it. You just get on with what you want to do," she shrugged. "Perhaps 1 bring a different perspective to the service sector. Maybe I helped our growth. But it wasn't an issue I really considered." In any event, Minacs says, it's time to shift the .aurels to someone else's shoulders. "The key to success for any small company is the person driving it but you get to the point where that s not enough — that only lasts for so long, - she explained. "Now, with our growth, we have many drivers. These people deserve recognition " Minacs Group managers, who work out of a brand new corporate office on Sandy Beach Road in Pickering, will help steer a course for even more growth very soon. The company is looking to "go national" by opening call -handling centres in other communities in Canada, expand their client base and perhaps take on large corporate partners. "Who those partners will be is the challenge �e re facing right now. But in the real world you e, *o the point where, to finance (the expansion). have to look in a different dimension,she "The face of the whole organization ;s �anging...and I think we're really going to P_xpiode." Acquiring the assets of a smaller company is another future growth area, she noted. Of course, being swallowed up by a large "corporate partner - is also a possibility. "1 wouldn't discount it; it wound depend or, the parameters,' she said with a smile. *ft's not what I want, but never say never" If her answer seems a little cryptic, it's because in many ways Minacs' business style is just a little bit different. Her companies specialize in persor- alized customer care, yet they are successful only with the latest in technology. She likes a little "fun" mixed in with business.

Det. Sgt. Torn Cameron said all three young offenders were known to police and were "targeted" during the investigation into at least nine break and enters in the Glendale and Bay Ridges neighborhoods. 'They were known criminals to us and we targeted them during the investigation," Cameron said, adding that jewelry, coins, liquor and stereo equipment were the usual items stolen during the robbery spree. `It came up roses this time_" AU three, part of a loosely -organized 'gang," were Pickering residents and were arrested last month at the home of one of the suspects. One of the accused, a 15 -year-old youth, has been charged with break and enter with intent, attempted break and enter, possession of stolen property, assaulbM police and resisting arrest and nine counts of break and enter.

'None of the high rise residential buildings in the Town of Ajax presently have sprinkler systems,' he added. Regional councillor Steve Parish said after the meeting that McCallion's call for fast action is warranted. He said from the town's point of view, all council can do is make sure existing standards are met while lobbying for stricter fire codes. `But for those living in high-rise residences, just be very sure you have a smoke alarm and that it's working,' he added. 1 The Bay News • February 15, 1995 11 •Hared Sb! ee"1MIE IMft WMMM bud m N neMn Md CyYel lege fi�w faW GMR m WYMd krA a� iPaM aMl la niw 1!!5 Mato nlerWeO Mg�� E4ctrone �1NrN Ome.n� ► E.1 i41A 53.45y0 dw"ip�Enwn naunV OMS hn mwaipNM�nO n"ui ieo�M1t � E�cAAs n`t.

Pickering 686-7 Ragweed Jazz Band: Best Kept Secret East of Metro by Wendy Ashton Shimkofsky The music of the Ragweed Jazz Band hooks you immediately. It sets your body in motion and touches your soul. After a few minutes of toe tapping, the big question is: where are the crowds? Surely others in Durham need a good dose of happy, 'antidepressant' music. The bar should be packed, but it isn't. According to bass player and band leader, Bob Welburn, 'The Ragweed Jazz Band is the best kept secret east of Metro." That must be it, because the music is sheer magic and deserves a bigger audience. These are serious musicians playing traditional Dixieland style jazz to a small, but enthusiastic crowd of serious jazz fans. But it's not necessary to know jazz to enjoy the lively, upbeat sound and recognize favourite tunes. 'A lot of people think that the kind of music they heard 20 to 40 years ago is long gone because, if you tune across the radio dial, you can't hear an awful lot of it_ it is alive and well at Annandale,' says Allister Lawrie, clarinet/saxophone/ vibraphone player and retired jazz reviewer for the Globe and jazz band in North America. chosen Canadian National Banjo band has entertained downstairs takes the form of a shouting Mail.

Group provides creative support for local artists 'by Wendy Ashton ShimkoW Creating art can be a lonely experience. Whether it's in a studio or in the corner of a basement, artists often work in isolation. Fortunately for serious artists in Durham, the Ajax Creative Arts croup understands the need for the input and companionship of others with similar interests. Twice a week, the group provides the opportunity for artists to meet informally at the Village Community Centre in Pickering Village. On Wednesday afternoons, members bring thele individual projects and they proceed at their own pace. It isn't a classroom situation and the group doesn't offer art lessons. The members have already spent years perfecting their skils but they m kome the chance to exchange ideas and opinions in a workshop environment. On Thursday evenings, the meetings might include a demonstration or an art video but members frequently cantfnue woriang on their pieces. They express themselves in many 'different mediums including pencil, pen and ink, oils, acrylics, watercolour, and 'ply The group comprises 54 people from Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa. Some of the artists have been members for 27 years. Annual dues are W. According to Eileen Raddnam, the club president for 20 years, 'the aim of the dub is. to bring together people interested in fine arts and to promote interest and understanding of creative art in the comNniy." The Creative Arts Group also offers its members the chance to display their work at two annual art shows (April 22 and 23, and November 4 and 5) at the Village Community Centre. The artists prepare al year for these events and they pitch in to share the work load. This year they have been invited to help celebrate _Home Week '95' with a historical art show focussing on Pickering Village and the Town of Ajax.

A skater's paradise Mahmood MusTaFa From the Bleachers A visit to the Pickering Figure Skating Club reveals a variety of skaters. Some glide fluently across the ice, while others are still learning to balance. Lisa Pieterse, director of the Kids Skate program at the club, said her group currently has 700 members and is expanding. Apart from Kids Skate, the club offers several other programs. There is the Can Skate program, which teaches basic skills. The club has introduced power skating which is geared towards hockey and ringette players. The program improves a player's skating skills. There is also a program that caters to the needs of adult skaters. There is a regular skating program for kids. In all, there are about seven or eight programs, one to suit the requirement of anyone who is interested. "Each program has its own rewards," said Pieterse. "You learn different skills in different sessions."

Pieterse said it's a program where kids learn basic skills, but in a fun way. It uses music and play things. The second program — Can Skate — teaches basic skills, but in an advanced fashion. Kids receive badges for each of the eight Levels. After that, skaters can move to a junior level where they can get private coaches. "There are junior, intermediate and senior sessions, depending on test qualifications," explains Lisa. "There are two different streams in skating — test stream and competitive stream. The highest level that you can go in test stream is provincials, said Pieterse. "in the competitive stream, there is no limit — a skater could compete at the international level, which can lead to the Olympics. "Our club right now focuses on test stream, although we have a few competitive skaters, too. Last year we hosted two major competitive level competitions — sub - sectional and sectional. In 1993 we hosted an all - Ontario test stream competition," Pieterse said. The club takes part in regular inter -club competitions and there are several invitational matches that skaters can participate in. Pieterse is one of he 12 coaches at the club. She has been imparting knowledge for the past four years, but her association with the club dates back almost 18 years. "1 started skating as a five- year-old, learned my skills and gained mos* of my experience here. ;Now, in a way, I am doing my bit for the club." Pleterse said, In the test stream, there are four disciplines: Free Skates, Dance, Artistic and Figure. I recently got my gold in Figure and with it finished all four gold tests." She teaches all four disciplines at the club. Pieterse has also competed at the first level of the National Coaching Certificate Program and is working on completing her second level. With such qualified and efficient coaches at hand, you certainly are not on thin ice here ... happy skating!

The Wolverines Academy was represented by 10 students at the Kitchener competition, and brought home 12 awards.
