Wiseman fishing for feedback on Frenchman's Bay agreement By Glenn Hendry The Town of Pickering may find itself the guardian of rhe waters of Frenchman's Bay in exchange for certain development rights, under an agreement with Pickering Harbor Company. The negotiated settlement between the town and Harold Hough, the president of the harbor company and of East Shore Marina, was reached last April but, techni- cally, the matter is still before the courts so details can't be revealed. The deal also requires approval from Ontario attorney - general Marion Boyd, before it can be signed. The dispute has been more than 10 years in the mak- ing and centres on a pre -confederation document owned by Hough that grants him exclusive rights to everything on or under the waters of the bay, including docks, boat launches and floating restaurants, and certain rights around the bey. Hough bought the company - and with it the Queen's Charter (1843) - in 1%2. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arth rs said the town never disputed the authority of the charter but argued that Hough should operate under Pickering planning and zon- ing gu kkfines. Arthurs wouldn't release any information on the settlement, but did say he was "satisfied" with the Card o1 Pap 3 t Hospital layoffs Sud ethits C1Vll servan sg The average Canadian should be out increw" income taxes for the budget, released by finance minis- The Ajax -Pickering Board of mav be averted breathing easier today after the second year in a row," said ter Paul Martin Monday afternoon, Trade, in a prepared statement, J ' takes toads the 1{ed the t " sitive ' but J federal budget was unveled, a doc- budge ument that will slash government Ontario Riding MP Den rk league because It steps to at a budget briefing breakfast huge federal deficit.

Hough told The Bay News details can't be discussed because of solicitor/client pri%+ lege but said he will have "no more rights than the average cit- izen" would have under the agreement. No cash changed hands in the deal, he added. Hough owns lands in the north-east corner of the bay, where he has had several talks with town planners about buiki- ing townhouses and apartments, both allowed under current zon- ing. The marina owner said he, like Arthurs, was satisfied with the settlement. "The ownership has never been the real issue. It's mainly been a zoning issue for the town. And we've now given them what they want."

I tonight at East Shore Community Centre to get feed- back from the public on the issue. Unfortunately, because of the legal issues involved, resi- dents who attend won't be any wiser about the nature of the agreement. Jim McKean said he would sure like to know what's in the deal. The Port Pickering Marina owner, who has to pay Hough $24,000 per year in rent for his docks and admits he will never be on Hough's Christmas card list, claims to be the only "dis- senting voice" to any deal between the town and his rival. "I'd Eke to know what's in it. This affects my future," he said. "It's a mystery to me, as a tax- payer and citizen, why I can't know what they're settling on." Wiseman, however, said he just wants to find out what the expectations of the public are Waterfront Plan in before OMB hearing The Town of Ajax has stepped up its efforts to complete a waterfront management plan before an Ontario Municipal Board hearing in the fall that will consider zoning at the foot of Harwood Ave. In a report to the standing committee of the whole submitted Monday night, planning director Peter Tollefsen said in any OMB hearing 'it is vital to have council policies established so the outcome will reflect council's intent."

Completion of the plan by late spring is necessary for the preparation of submissions to the OMB, he added. To that end a land -se option draft plan will be presented to the public and the standing committee of the whole March 27. before the deal is signed. "(Boyd) is going to ask me what the community thinks about this. And I want to be able to tell her." Duncan Read, a lawyer and assistant to Ontario Riding MP Dan McTeague speculated Hough must have received something concrete from the town before the marina owner would put his Frenchman's Bay water rights on the table in any negotiation. If the town is recognizing the legitimacy of the charter and not challenging, why isn't the deal over and done with? Why isn't Arthurs saying 'we lost'? The agreement suggests a tradeoff." The issue is now in the hands of procIncial officials, who are also tight-lipped on their plans. Those plans may include refus- ing to sign the agreement and challenging the legitimacy of Hough's charter in court them- selves. Virginia Turner, Boyd's senior policy advisor, said no decision has been made on challenging the charter. "The minister hasn't come to any conclusions in that direc- tion. I can't give you any more than that." Turner said Boyd would wait until she received feedback from the community before she made any announcements. Hough just shrugged when he was asked if there was a chance the province would take him to court. "They may want to - they already have - but if they agree to the settlement they'll have to drop the challenge," he said. "Now that we've made our peace with the town. I expect the province will have no further interest in the matter. - °SAiuuun1 Lft .

In addition, Hudson's Bay has also expressed interest in jumping into the second phase of the centre's development, planned for 19%. 'We have a lot of tenants very interested," Logie said. 'There's no reason we can't continue what we're doing and complete the entire proiect in two years.' The centre will provide 1,000 jobs and bring it $1.5 million in taxes a year, pointed out Witty.

Ms. Frampton, 1 wrote a letter about the Reform Party. 1 never mentioned TAXCOPA. Why are you answering my letter? What is your connection to the Reform Party, in so much as you want to seek legal advice? On their behalf? I am a taxpayer with a mind and a voice of my own. Is this the way you and your organization treat taxpayers, threatening me with legal action because I said something about the Reform Party? Can you tell me about your organization and when and if you were elected? How many people are in your membership? When is your next annual general meeting or your last one, for that matter? You feel free to talk for the taxpayers of Pickering, but seem to want to have the only voice! Is this not democracy gone amok? lyls. Joanne lNacorberts - . Pickering Andrew's Aunt remembers her "pure fight' It To dw : No, you probably didn't know him. In this large expanse of a world an almost insignificant number of people did. No, he didn't make the headlines, although he had a rare heart deformity and a considerably remarloble life. Yet for all this anonymity here was a fight that shone very brightly on all those who came across its path. No one who met the little man who shone this fight will ever forget him. One year ago on Feb. 21 the fight went out. Now there is a resting place for the vessel that held this light in a quiet spot which he shares with family who new knew his earthly form. Upon that resting place are vestiges of memories, protected as best as possible, from the ravages of weather. Heart memories, blessedly, need no such protection. They endure and flourish, nourished continually with love and pain. Mostly the heart moans in agony with the incessant questioning of why we had to suffer such loss. Loss truly brings into focus how much we need each other. Deny it we might, but we he only to ourselves. Death must be accepted. We can try to control fife but we have no dominion over death and it is folly to think we do. It took a little child who lived no more than two years to teach me about fife. It was a lesson of joy, hope and then sorrow. He taught me fife was precious, yes, but only insofar as what you give bade to it. File taught me that you needn't do anything masterful to shine a big light. You need but to love Purely, completely. This alone assures you Immortality. Such a pure fight was Andrew Richard Sears. ` �-;i4ndrew's Aunt Lynda Daniluk The Bay News • March T, 7 995 7 1995 Dods Cwavmv yeou& Vopftw 24T Pukw bcWm • SbahM fivd &W * bw • Sbm&W We • Ar cadiUMMM6 • 7 p uft • 10 L V6 eerie • moot rade • MWM Ste 00 • Pwm Ifigaebe 1'okm m Over 30 IIIOIIft V#imj Tam rum �r7 SEE YOUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. ,J I .'

The standing committee of the whole received the two reports, compiled after all stakeholders involved attended workshops aimed at incorporating guiding principles into the community design for each neighborhood. In the unique approach to development, residents, environmental groups, town staff and school boards are working together to achieve a community vision before subdivision draft plans have been submitted to council for approval. The biggest concern councillors have seems to be the density requirements. Somerset Cove, between Audley Rd. and Pickering Beach Rd. south of Hwy. 401, for example, is presently zoned low- density and residents and councillors alike are worried that all the consultation could mean an application for higher -density is coming in the future. `Ag the principles will not be accepted by the town," said planning consultant Phil Weinstein, of Weinstein Leeming Hinde and Associates. "If it leads to better use of the landscape, the town might consider it but it doesn't necessarily mean we are endorsing it just because it'.4 down as an idea." Weinstein added some residents are more concerned with the height of residential buildings than they are with density. "If they are going to ask for more density, they better be prepared to give more parkland," added Mayor Jim Witty. Somerset Cove's principle! included using an ecosysterr approach to the neighborhood planning, providing a neighborhood focus that includes shops, open space, employment and residential uses and providing a variety of housing types. MASH savings help with hospital budget -From Page 1 had said and now it gives the (health) ministry more data for the long-term vision for the hos- pital and an opportunity to pro- vide some interim rebef.' The $375,000 study, leaked last summer, identified Ajax - Pickering General Hospital as a future full-service facility serving west Durham, one of the fastest growing areas in Ontario. Despite the recommendation, the ministry froze furling to the hospital earlier this year. That decision put the facility in a $800.000 deficit situation, and without an influx of cash, the hospital would be forced to close beds and layoff staff by May 1.

Atlldnson said the hospital is doing its part in making up the budget shortfall with an in-house cost -management program - modelled after the Town of Ajax's STAR$ program - called MASH: Make Additionai Savings Happen. Staff are hop- ing to identify $800,000 in sav- ings for the 1995-% fiscal year. ..We'll come damn close to that. The ministry should be able to do the rest," Atkinson said.

No mat- ter how you sbce it, this is a alt and slash budget...and it's in keeping with what the people of Ontario Riding want."

They Md qms to think. Touche, called the budget "pretty good" overall, but cau- tioned that the bad news may come in a couple of months when the provinces - faced with reduced federal funding - bring down their own budgets. "The major thing in this budget is there's no new taxes, but there's a lot of new pro- grams that will be hit," Frum said. "To the average taxpayer, it really doesn't hit us that hard." Frum's firm, in an overview release to its clients, said the budget is a "hard- nosed start" to "nasty political fights" with the provinces in the near future. Ontario Premier Bob Rae is already coming out fighting. He called the budget a 'neo - conservative, right -wring" docu- ment that is "nothing less than the fracturing of the partner- ship" of social partnership betwee^ ^viiawa and Ontario. Ontario treasurer Floyd Laughren estimated the budget could cost the country 90,000 jobs by 1996. McTeague, having little sympathy for Rae's "lament," said it is time for the province to learn a "hard and fast les- son" in taking care of its own financial affairs. He also disput- ed Laughren's job loss esti- mate, noting the budget will not "cripple" job prospects or stifle growth. Provincial Tory leader Mike Harris commended the federal government for the spending cuts, while noting they should have taken place sooner. He did, however, criticize Martin for raising some taxes. "They really do not understand that taxes kill jobs." Foreign investors may also respond positively, with bond markets and the dollar both ris- ing soon after the budget was announced.

(East of Brock Rd.) Pickering 686-7 Comedy of love and lust by Barbara M. Buetter Herongate Barn Theatre opened its 1995 spring season with the hit comedy 'In One Bed and Out the Other". The story is based on 'Une Nuit Chez Vous ... Madames", written by Jean de Letraz. Directed by Bev Nicholas, this romantic farce is set in turn of the century Paris, in the home of Monsieur and Madame Dubois. The Dubois, bored with married life, welcome the ensuing madness when they are caught up in the potful scheming of a young novelist, Didier. The situation becomes hopelessly complicated with the arrivals of Mr. Dubois' ex -lover, the butler's betrothed and finally an overbear t gmaiden aunt. Maurice, the reluctant butter in disguise, entertains throughout with his dry observations. As he sums up his predicament, 'I do all the work and Didier does all the women.' Romantic attractions are crossed with mistaken identities and misunderstandings. The action finally centres around the 'guest bed', with everyone jumping in with the wrong person and trying desperately to be discreet. The cast includes some newcomers to the Herongate company along with many regulars. Veteran Peter Hurley as Maurice is hilarious. His John Cleese style is the perfect catayat for alis comedy of low and lust. Barn -I Aft r Rd" Pickah MkWous Frerm h Farce "In One Bed & Out the Other" Runs Until March 25th.

The barn was built at the turn of the century and used for dairy farming and the mid 1970's. In 1975, Alban Ward bought the barn to convert it into a theatre and family business. Family members are involved in everything from set and costume design, to acting, to cooking dinner. Herongate Barn Theatre was one of Piickering's first theatre groups and has, over the last twenty years, expanded to accommodate more guests. It has also grown to a company of twenty-five actors, some of whom have been with Herongate since its inception. It's open every Thursday to Sunday for a full night of entertainment. The evening starts with a home -cooked buffet dinner in the lower barn. Herongate's unusual decor makes use of portions of the original animal stalls and a fog ceiling. Candles and lanterns add to the relaxing atmosphere, and entertainment consists of sing-alongs and jokes with one of Herongate's regular MCs. After dinner, patrons are directed upstairs for the show.

The never-ending quest for junk food Heavyweights — F Starring: Tom McGowan, Aaron Schwartz, Kenan Thompson, Shaun Vbss and Ben Stiller Written byt Judd Apatow and Steven Brill Directed by: Steven Brill. by We* Ashton Shillu�Oofslgr Heavyweights stars some WON faces: Aaron Schwartz and Shan Weiss from Disney's The Mighty Ducks and Kenan Thompson from D2: The Mighty Ducks. They all tum in strong performances but unfortunately that isn't enough b save this movie. The laughs are few and far between and most of the humour is d*sdck. There Is an underlying suspicion that the whole movie is just one big 'fat' joke without a punch lime. It's hard to believe that Steven Brill, who wrote The Mighty Ducks and D2, could pons* have had a hand in the script of Heavyweights but he dol. Camp Hope, formerly a fun summer camp for overweight boys, is taken over by a auel new owner, Tony Perkin, played by Ben Stiller. Perkis is determined to make an Info-rnercial' for his weight los system even If he has b mistreat the boys to do it. After he confiscates their emergency treats, the bays go on a candy raid and eventually resort to buying bladunarket goodies on their never-endn9 quest for junk food. instead of dropping a few ponds, they gain weight The crazy camp director forces them on a 20-mle starvation hike as training for the Apache Relay competition against Camp MVP. The boys mutiny and imprison the owner and his cohorts. Then they go on an eating binge that is not a pretty sight. Pat (Tom McGowan), the counsellor who is demoted to toilet scrubber, is the only character worth rooting for He urges the campers to respect themselves and take control of their lives but his message comes about an hour too late. By this time it's hard to be sympathetic toward the characters. ft's much easier to sympathize with the teenage actors who were the victims of fat jokes throughout the movie. Heavyweights was a bigger hit with the younger audience. What boy can resist the appeal of a wet -placed frit lo someone else's crotch? Still, the expert opinion from a ten year old was, 'It wasn't the best movie Pve ever seen, 1711 lel you that.' Heavyweights was ortgna11y fisted as PG, Parerrtal Guidance Suggested. Perhaps It should have been left that way. Although there isn't any graphic violence, the treatment of the campers borders an duld abuse and, when the boys take over the camp, they Prove that they can be just as cruel as any adult. Could this be Disney's version of Lord of The Flies? If you really want to see Heavyweights, you'd better hurry. It probably won't be around wry long, Sports Week W GET TING FIT: These are just some of the contestants who entered in the Mr/Ms Fiit Ontario Competition held at the Pickering Town Centre on the weekend. Flood nabs more gold Pickering swim star Lisa Flood added a national gold to her already impressive trophy case with a win last week in the 60 -metre breast stroke at the Corel short -course nationals at Montreal's Claude Robillard Pool. Flood, a double Common- wealth Games bronze medalist and NCAA champion, touched the wall first in a time of 32.28. `I feel good about it.

Pickering squeezes by Ajax in playoffs W Carry Curtis It took five hard-fought games before the Pickering Major Atom 'AA" hockey team defeated Ajax in the opening round of the OMHA second season playoffs.

The local team easily won the novice/kids division and finished second in the bantam and cadet division. The wrestlers also captured 15 gold medals, 15 silver medals and five bronze medals at the tournament.

March madness at college Durham Collge is gearing up for March Madness this weekend as the school plays host to the best men's college basketball teams in the province at the OCAA championships. The Lords, the defending provincial bronze medallists, hosted St. Clair College of Windsor last night in a sudden - death playoff game, with the winner earning a spot in the final four tournament. Results weren't available at press time. With a victory the 9-3 Lords will likely face four -time defending champion 11-1 Humber College Hawks of Etobicoke, who were involved in their sudden -death quarter -final of their own last night, against Cambrian College. The other semi-final will pit top-ranked Algonquin Thunder of Ottawa (12-0) against the winner of last night's Sheridan - Centennial match. The OCAA final will take place Sunday at 7:30 pm. The Lords will try to rnatd, or better the efforts of their volleyball counterparts, who captured the OCAA bronze medal Feb. 25 in Belleveile. Durham, led by three -time al - star Martini McDonald, defeated Algonquin three games to one to earn the bronze. The 11-5 Lords didn't qualify for the playoffs last year.

The Metals Age is when, in 4,000 B.C., give or take a decade or two, the saw was invent- ed. But, the first recorded use of saws as we see them dates from about 1,500 B.C. when Egyptians are said to have used them to rip boards. The modern versions apparently got their start as long ago as the 1st century. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Pliny the Elder observed that 'setting the teeth helps discharge the sawdust." This practice of setting the teeth alternately to one side or the other to dispel sawdust is still in use. In addition, setting the teeth in this man- ner creates a slot that is wider than the saw blade, which also helps reduce friction. Though the methodology for setting the teeth remains the same, today's handsaws are as different from their 1st century counter- parts as is a deer from a dinosaur. Contemporary handsaws are made of steel hard enough to retain its cutting edge and strong enough to resist buckling. To avoid strain, the handle is designed to direct the energy to the teeth of the saw. TRIPLE A PLUMBING Kitchens. bathrooms, renovations.

Inspect the flat sides of the blade to ensure that the teeth have been set uniformly. Set is the amount by which a saw tooth is bent out of line. A saw that is not set correctly leads to inaccurate cuts. Inspect the saw to be sure there are no nicks, ridges or rough spots. To resist rust and friction, the saw should be smooth and highly polished. A good handle is a sign of a quality saw. Check tension by slightly flexing the saw. Place a straight edge along a side of the blade. The gap between the blade and the straight edge should form a perfect arch. A lopsided arch indicates poor balance. A good handsaw should last for many years if it is properly taken care oL When finished with a bandsaw, wipe it down with an oily cloth to prevent rust. Shouldan rust appear, get rid of it with an ort cloth and lots of elbow grease. Or, use a fine emery cloth. Be sure to bang the saw in a dry plaice. When carrying the saw with other tools. use a protective sleeve. Do not leave a saw bring flat where there are other tools around.

This saying is framed and hangs in the teaching studio of Roma Page Lynde, a teacher who, along with Jay Jones, made the decision to con- tinue the tradition of music instruction in Pickering Village. With Mrs. Lynde's talent and wisdom, and Jav's desire to make a liv- ing in the music industry, Durham School of Music began operation in August, 1987. just two months after the closing of Music Media's teaching opera- tion. Born in Toronto, the soft-spoken guitar -playing owner of Durham Music moved with his family to a house on Kirkham's Road, property now home to the Metro Zoo. He was five. Jays first school was Hillside, a three-room brick schoolhouse, which still sits on Meadowvale Road over- looking the zoo and the Rouge River. As a teenager, he attended West Hill Collegiate. It was there he found his direction when he met Gary Creighton, "a music instructor who could play any instrument you put in his hands." He was hooked. For the next five years he studied music — drums, tympani, vibes, etc.. and gradually developed an interest in guitar. "Being as naive as I could be, 1 asked evervone who the best guitar teacher in Toronto was." Following an enlightening audition. Jav became a stu- dent of Hank Monis, who to this day remains a trea- sured friend, "dropping in occasionally to let me know how much I still have to learn." Jay studied with Monis for 13 years, even while teaching guitar to others at Musonic in West Hill and later at Music Media in Pickering Village. He was also learning about the music industry. Having come to the real- ization that music seldom pays well, Jay decided to return to school. Taking business courses at Centennial College and Seneca, teaching in the afternoon, and performing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.. Jay completed his business degree. When Music Media closed its teaching opera- tion, it meant some major decisions had to be made. The teaching staff, realiz- ing the need and demand for a music school in Pickering, held a meeting. They all agreed to support Jay in a bid to open a new school. Knowing the newly -renovated Gordon House was soon to be leas- ing space, and armed with the support of his fellow teachers, Jay set out to find funds. His gamble paid off. In less than eight weeks he managed to convert the upstairs into a maze of soundproofed studios. The main floor has become a large retail operation. "If you have the right project at the right time and a lot of support, somehow it just seems to come together. This year, more than 600 students are enrolled in studies with the school's 32 music teachers. Many students have received awards and scholarships DuiAsham 103 Old Kingston Road Pickering Village 428-6266 *r** 428-8792 this past year by participat- ing in local music festivals, as well as receiving first class honor grades in Royal Conservatory examina- tions. After years of making his living at it, Jay Jones still loves making music. His 48 -track digital record- ing studio is now opera- tional and 1995's goals include a larger keyboard department for the store as well as producing a series of instructional video tapes with the teaching staff. Jay says he feels that although the quality of teaching at Durham Music has always been strong. 1994-95 has been the strongest year ever. Andrea BavMen and Kristy Bateson now manage and take care of the scheduling at the school which helps immensely in the day-to- day operations. Andrea now also takes care of the retail sales and the large music book selection. Jay now gets to concentrate on his goals and the direction Durham Music will be tak- ing_ Still, Jay Jones cannot Jay Jones forget the support of his original staff, especially Chris Reid and Roma Page Lynde, whose picture tells her students LA 4 every week and reminds all of us "Life Is Like A Piano; What You Get Out Of It Depends On How You Play It."

The new store, equipped with both a showroom and a work- shop, is four times bigger than the industrial unit the business previously called home and new staff has been hired to fill the continuous orders that come in. "We are able to give people exactly what they want." owner Glen Powers said. "We can even build something from a picture from a magazine. Long Island Lodge has been serving satisfied cus- tomers for four years and the business that started out in Powell's parent's garage has grown despite the recession. While not recession - proof, the company is successful because of their product. Customized furniture for each and every client is a far cry from assembly -line dupli- cates. "The economy helped me because people knew what they wanted and money was tight so they spent it on something that fit their needs instead of on something that was only kind of what they wanted," he said. "Everything is built from scratch here in the workshop," Powers said. "And because there's no middle man trying to get his cut, we are able to keep the cost low, cheap- er than other places." Long Island Lodge uses only solid wood, such as pine, oak, maple, birch and walnut. The store also sells paints, stains, and finishes for those customers who wish to complete the job themselves. Right from the start, the biggest seller has been stereo units because they are custom made to fit any combination. Although Glen enjoys building the stereo units the most because they are always different. Long Island Lodge builds every piece of furniture anyone could think of2. 132sides the usual armoires, book- cases, dressers and beau- tifully crafted tables, Glen fills orders for clients Z -Art frames it right The specialty of the house at Z -Art in Pickering is quality, cus- tom framing.

Even though the store offers lower priced mer- chandise than its mall store competitors, CD Plus goes one step fur- ther for its clients to achieve the ultimate cus- tomer satisfaction by offering the Fab 4 Reward Card. The first time a cus- tomer purchases 4 CDs, he or she receives the Fab 4 card and each time the customer buys any multiple of 4 CDs, the store stamps the card. On the fourth stamp, the customer receives a free CD Plus catalogue full of inter- views with music stars, published by CD Plus. Other items given to Fab 4 customers include a free disc cleaner and a free CD rack. When the customer finishes the card, he or she will receive gift certificates for two free CDs. CD Plus houses over 50,000 CDs including titles from classical, jazz, rock, country, new age, easy listening, reggae, alternative, dance and pop. The staff have access to any CD title by the press of a key on their fully computerized inventory system and, if they don't have a CD, they can order it through the computer. The store specializes in CDs in order to offer the widest selection pos- sible to its customers. To accompany its CD stock, the company also offers 0% a complete line of stor- age systems and other CD accessories. The store's low over- head costs of being in a warehouse without all the fancy fixtures enable it to have better CD prices than mall stores. Most of the company's products can be pur- chased for under $20. "You don't need mar- ble floors and 10 -foot high TV screens to ser- vice customers," says Cubitt. CD Plus has been serving Pickering resi- dents for more than three years and is one of seven stores located from London to Pickering. The store appreciates the support it has received from the sur- rounding area and invites first time buyers to visit the warehouse at 1050 Brock Rd. in Pickering, or call 837-1816.

Each window covering is important and the proper drapes and blinds will complement the furnishings and colors of the room itself. That's why most of the work at Manufacturer's Drapes and Blinds takes place outside the store at a client's home. It's not simply a matter of picking out a window covering and then installing it. To help the client make the best selection, the people from Manufacturer's Drapes and Blinds bring a full selection of materials and designs to find what custom- made drapes and blinds will best complement the home. Anyone can afford a custom window treatment because custom-made does not mean expensive. In fact, they are quite reasonably priced, Fernanda said. "By going custom. you get the advantage of receiving the exact color and style you're looking for. It can also be ready for pick-up and installation in two or three weeks. - Manufacturer's Drapes and Blinds have been operating out of its location at Pickering Town Centre for five years. They've installed drapes and blinds in many local homes. Referrals from satisfied customers take them often to Toronto homes and as far away as Cambridge. Home consultations are free.

Whenever you visit, You'll know you're getting the best in value and qualified advice. Ajax Tire Sales is the oldest Dunlop and Dayton dealer in Durham Region and carries most major brands of tires. It offers new and used tires at competitive prices. The Dunlop line is an area where owner Egon Major construction projects here Large scale construc- tion projects in 1994 included: Schmidinger has plenty of expertise. Before opening Ajax Tire Sales, Egon worked for Dunlop Tires for 20 years in Whitby. After more than a century of tire making, the name Dunlop should speak for itself.

A good night's sleep rests solely on whether or not people are comfortable in their beds and if some- one can't envision a restful night in their immediate future, per- haps they should pay a visit to Factory Mattress. Underinvesting in a bed is quite common when purchasing fur- niture for the first. Comfort should be a number one pridrity and the search for the perfect bed begins with the mattress and box spring. Stella Rico, owner of Factory Mattress in Pickering, said it is best to start the search by purchasing a good quality mattress. It will be money well spent because the bed will last longer. Simply by lying or sitting on the matb-ess, a client will get a sense of how comfortable the product is. In short, the con- struction of the mat- tress and the amount of padding affect the comfort. All the mattresses and box springs Factory Mattress sells are constructed right there at the store. Factory Mattress also does custom work. which means cus- tomers can have a mattress as hard or as soft as they require. From the time a cus- tom order is placed to the time the order is filled is normally three to five days. Rico suggests cus- tomers purchasing their first bed should buy a higher quality foam mattress. Although the foam mattresses are a little more expensive, they provide a better quali- ty product which will last longer. Rico added that more foam pro- vides for a more com- fortable mattress. The Pickering store also carnes bed frames and a complete line of bedding. Brass or nickle-plated bed frames are available as well as duvets, bed- spreads and shams. Prices range from eco- nomical to more high- end for imported Egyptian cotton bed sets. For more informa- tion, visit the Factory Mattress showroom at 1698 Bayly St., or call 837-0288. 10 March 1, 1 M • fie Bay News Pickodng PoWess MI►tcE ODCST �G OWN p 'fit Y JUiZQ La"latlOt �Snlayla ,�ratLa AIVO Face pER C�'sand Oq I� F con Sha co* Up A �O �Ea�ar In fo �o G� N NSP a's "tom rh hP Ch1,D Cf con,(, EVENT DETAILS & TIMES i POP BAND C-2- Join C -2-C in musical fanfare as they salute the (:anadian militaryand celebrate t anada's commitment to freedom...

Police Credit Union confident in Pickering The Police Credit Union recently finalized the land purchase of the site at Merriton Street and Hwy. 2 (the site of the original police station) and will construct a modern banking and office cen- tre. The continued police presence in a new form on this site which has excellent visibility both from Highway 401 and Highway 2 is wel- comed. The successful selection of Pickering by the police credit union came about as a result of the two levels of government and the pnv9te sector working together to create eco- nomic growth.

That's how Denis Belisle, store manager of Beam Vaaaums Plus in Pickering, sums up the benefits of a built-in vacuum. The obvious advantage of central vacuums, namely not having to lug around a heavy portable vacuum, is well known. But more and more people are discovering their many other benefits. These include stronger suction, greatly reduced noise levels and elimination of residual dust from the living area. "Unlike a conventional vacuum, a central vacuum doesn't recirculate the air. If you've ever used a regular vacuum on a sunny day, you've probably seen the dust particles in the sunlight. That's because although some dust stays in the receptacle where it should, some goes out with the exhausted air and is blown around. "As well as collecting and exhausting the dust remotely, a Beam central vacuum also has a far better filter system. Since the permanent self-cleaning filter is much larger, it can be less porous (and so more effective) than the small filter on a regular vacuum," says Denis. 'The canister on a central vacuum is larger, too, which means it needs emptying much less Often ... about two or three times a year on average." Consumer reports show that on average, central vacuum systems perform far better than ordinary vacuum cleaners, and most central models don't lose power as the canister fids. Even with all of the advantages, you don't have to pay more for a central system. "You can get a central system for the price of a portable," says Denis. "A three -inlet basic system is just over $400." 'The price of installation varies from about $100 and up, depending on whether there's already a rough -in or if you have a finished basement," says Denis. "Our installation experts have been putting central vacuums into homes, apartrr>ents and condos for 15 years." That's right. Condominium owners and apartment tenants can also enjoy the benefits of a Beam central vacuum system. In fad, Beam has Just brought out the Quietly Smart Beam, which can easily fit in a closet. And Beam's superb warranties are only to be expected from this Canadian company which currently holds more than 50 per cent of the market. First there's Beam's exclusive one year money- back guarantee. That's backed up with a 5 -year Parts and labour warranty, lifetime warranties on outlet faceplates and body corrosion, and a lifetime warranty against clogging if Beam materials are used throughout, even for a do- itNourself installation. "Customer satisfaction for our products indicates that 98 per cent of our customers are entirely satisfied or very satisfied," says Denis. 'Tve spoken to 6terady thousands of people who, once they used a central vacuum say they'll never go back" TAX REVOLTI, OONT LUG A UIgN09PM NA f.., _Z�` In support of Lower Taxes you will pay NO G.S.T.* on any central vacuum purchase made between now and March 7th at at participating dealers.

The second best decision was to locate our first business, Van Kempen Insurance Associates Ltd., right here in Pickering, said Kip Van Kempen. Now with the pur- chase of First Pickering Travel, my wife Mairi and I are in a great position to work close to home and serve our many friends form right here in Pickering. And I certainly don't miss the rush hour traffic that I experienced when the office was located in Metro. Now it's two business under one roof. And when it comes to expertise in the Pickering Pickering has worked to earn a reputation as a com- petitive location for busi- ness and industry. Expanding Pickering's base of proven growth companies has been one of travel business, we'll be there for you because, as we like to say, "chances are we've been there already." It's also fun to be part of the community, whether it's sponsoring one of the many sports teams, helping out with the hospital or United Way fundraising. Our family has seen our two girls go from nursery school to high school right here in the neigh- borhood. Now both the insurance and travel busi- ness are part of Pickering. Almost all our business comes from the referrals of satisfied customers. The family name in insur- ance dates back over 50 years. If you treat people right they will keep com- ing back and tell others. Van Kempen Insurance Associates Ltd. handles home, auto, busi- ness and life insurance. We're very proud of the experienced staff of 15. Almost everyone we employ comes from right here in the community. They treat the customers more like friends than just simply a number. Personal service is our strong suit. Whether it's travel or insurance, we invite you to give our "local" service a try. Both businesses are conveniently located on Kingston Road between Kelsey's and Red Lobster - Kip Van Kempen economics encouraging the intended benefits of a targeted marketing plan, initiated in 1991. As a result, Pickering is unlikely to be overwhelmed by neg- ative egative adjustments of any one sector of the economy. I ,Kip Yaw Keiwpm F11C, CrR, Pre"Pw Van Kempen Insurance Associates Ltd.

After 25 years BLAIS- DALE MONTESSORI SCHOOL is certainly in a position to see results. "Joanne will be study- ing medicine at Queen's next year." "Jeremy was promoted to head of his department." "Kelly is attending Columbia University." "Alex is in the gifted program!" These are comments that Eleanor Wilson. prin- cipal of BLAISDALE, hears constantly from for- mer parents. And what is the secret of BLAIS- DALE's success? "Well...," ponders Mrs. Wilson. "we take to heart Dr. Montessori's observations about human potential. Ordinary edu- cation has never consid- ered the mystery of the potentialities lying latent in every child... so we must start to EDUCATE FROM THE EARLIEST YEARS when those mys- terious and potent ener- gies begin to unfold. In a warm, caring atmosphere at BLAISDALE where SELF-ESTEEM is cultivat- ed, even Toddlers (18 months) can learn in a special PREPARED ENVI- RONMENT where through FUN activities they can help to DEVEL- OP IN ALL AREAS OF GROWTH. Montessori is an aid, not a teaching method, but rather a pro- cess which removes obsta- cles in the path of learn- ing. It is not just for intel- lectual development alone but for ALL ASPECTS OF THE HUMAN PER- SONALITY.- A visitor to one of BLAISDALE's Casa class- es (children ages 3 to 5) would observe happy chil- dren in an attractive envi- ronment busily working with Montessori's unique educational materials. Yet in every activity that a child chooses, the child has had an INDIVIDUAL LESSON with the teacher. School for these children is the way it should be: inspiring, challenging and FUN! There are programs at BLAISDALE for children from ages 18 months to 12 years at their 5 loca- tions — 2 in Scarborough, 2 in Ajax and 1 in Pickering. At most locations BLAIS- DALE is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accom- modate working parents. To learn more about BLAISDALE, parents are invited to attend an "Introduction to Montessori" evening at 7 p.m. sharp on Wed., March 1 at 545A Kingston Rd. (east of Church St. in Ajax) or Wed., March 8 at 415 Toynevale Rd., (south of Kingston Rd., east off Rougemount Rd.) It is highly recommended that you attend, especially if you are not easily impressed! A 25 year tradition of educational excellence!

"It's not a big mon- strous store that takes an hour to get in and out of, it's a store where people can get what they want in two or three minutes," owner Terry Henry said. This family owned business has been open for nine years, but only 15 months ago, Henry, the new owner, stepped in to run the show. This store is one of three in a chain of stores. The other two are located in Oshawa and Peterborough. One Thirty Court sells fine affordable. quality foods at competitive prices. The store, with its simple welcoming design, carries a wide range of frozen foods including poultry, beef, fish, seafood, breakfast foods and desserts. Aside from the frozen selection, the store also carries sauces, dips and dressings to compliment the foods as well as a small selection of crack- ers. All, if not most, of the food One Thirty Court sells is packaged so not all of the contents have to be eaten at one sitting and, for the nights when time is tight, the store sells prepared meals that customers can just throw in the oven. According to Henry, his customers are faithful because most of the food is on the floor rather than behind a counter and because of "our old fashion service and quali- ty." Most of the store's clientele come from the area but there are a few that travel out of Toronto to shop. "The quality is consis- tent because we don't jump around from sup. plier to supplier for good prices," he said. Unlike other food stores, One Thirty Court accepts credit cards and cheques. This small store, unlike others, is also hooked up to accept debit card payment through the customer's bank card. The store is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. For more information on One Thirty Court, feel free to visit the store located at 68 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax, or call 427-2130.

IS March 1, 7995 * The kV News PickerIng Progress Pickering Hyundai tops in customer satisfaction At Pickering Hyundai, superb service is a given, not just some- thing the sales staff say to lure in the potential customers. Owner David Florence likes to think they provide customer satisfaction but hesitates to say service is the key to their success simply because his dealerships claim to excellent cus- tomer service is truly genuine, unlike some others. "All dealerships say they have great cus- tomer satisfaction," Florence said. But some of those dealerships ranked in the bottom 10 per cent in customer satisfaction in Canada. Pickering Hyundai ranked in the top 10 per cent. "We have one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings east of Yonge Street." he said. The dealership has been in the area since 1985 and has recently moved to a new location at the corner of Highway 2 and Church Street. The new location is more convenient. Florence said. because unlike, their old loca- tion, this one is on a public transit route. Pickering Hyundai i has four sales represen- tatives including Gord, Florence's father who is the sales manager. The four sales representa- tives at the dealership have made a dedicated career out of the car business. Their com- bined sales experience is over 100 years. The dealership con- tinues to provide low- priced, safe, and stylish economy cars. The all new award-winning Accent has taken the place of the Excel. It is sleek, aerodynamic, and fast with four wheel fully independent steering. The Accent is safe with front and rear crumple zones, dual side impact beams, and diver and passenger side air bags. The Accent. brand new with the options the customer chooses, can be purchased for the same price as many late model used cars. This new car is selling very well and is certainly helping Pickering Hyundai's sales, Fiorence said. Each new car Pickering Hyundai sells comes with an excellent warranty and roadside assistance program which includes flat tire changing, battery boost- ing and towing. Hyundai listens to customers. When deal- ers across the country asked for a fold -down rear seat in the Sonata, Hyundai gave the cus- tomer what they want- ed. Part way through that production year they began installing fold -down seats in all newly manufactured Sonatas. This is a com- pany and a dealership that listens to its cus- tomers. "Have it your way" service with Burger King Quality The Burger King cor- porate promise to "Have it Your Way" stands for a commitment to individual- ity that is unequalled in the fast fooC industry. That commitment has helped the restaurant chair sell more that two million whopper sand- wiches each day - ;nclud- ing the ever popu!ar veg- gie whopper - and 700 million per year, enough to circle the earth two - and -a -half times. Burger King, with 210 locatons in Canada - including one in Pickering and at the corner of Bayly Street and Mackenzie Avenue in Ajax - and more than 6,600 units in 43 countries worldwide, prides itself on its commit- ment to quality and great service. That is the prima- ry focus of the new man- agement staff at the Ajax location. The store has an ongoing program to solicit customer feedback on making improvements and to ensure the cus- tomer can really "Have it Your Way." Called QSC - quality, service and clean- liness - the program allows staff to place a great deal of importance on these three aspects of the business. The response from customers has been very good, with increased busi- ness and positive com- ments on service and quality. The restaurant loca- tion - situated in a great spot near the Chrysler Trim Plant, local families and other shopping - has paid dividends and the site offers ample parking, a drive-thru window, an expanded playground for children and plenty of incentives for birthday parties and business lunches. Staff are also ready for large orders. Just phone 896-6922 and your order will ready when you come to pick it up. Of course, Burger King's repeat business can also be traced back to the quality of the food itself. The world-famous Whopper is the mainstay of the menu and the "Have it Your Way" phi- losophy means customers can have their Whopper 1,023 different ways. The res:am-ant also takes pride in their salads, golden french fries, broiled cNck- en sandwiches and pies, just to name a few. Burger King manage- ment is also interested in giving something back to the community by getting more involved in local organizations. Anyone looking for support for their upcoming local event can contact the restaurant manager to see if Burger King can play a support- ing role. From 1975 to 1993, the population of future annual growth rate of approximately How we're PicI`'ering increased from 25.000 to 73,000 three per cent. residents.
