U3 it" '�' iC�fON''0 PRINTING 4%D Housing by Sande Mw*y Angry Pickering residents say the centre of Pickering will become a "slum„ if a proposed non- profit housing development is allowed to be built. "We do not want a future re and inevitable slum in the centre of our town. You on- ly have to look at other pro- jects of this type in other communities to see what we would be in store for,,, said George and Dianne Clement of Valley Farm Rd. in a letter to Pickering Council. Residents say they want to see prod that Pickering needs low-income housing. They say such a develop- ment would attract residents from Scar- borough and Toronto in- stead of providing housing for Pickering residents. Residents expressed 'heir objections to the pro- posed housing development to be located on 5.1 acres between Highway 2 and Valley Farm Rd. in a bar- rage of letters to Pickering Council. The Wardens of Guild Rd say they moved to Pickering to escape Toma- to's congestion but now the housing development will bring the city feeling their new home. Mast objectors to the development say it will decrease values of surroun- ding homes, increase the crime rate and place a strain on already over- crowded schools. Despite community ob- jections, both Pickering Council and Durham Regional Council approved the development of 115 townhouses with 26,000 sq. ft. retail and 34,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. Area residents say there are already enough stores in the area and there is no need for yet anotber plaza. They say the plaza will create traffic problems on Valley Farm Rd. Despite all their objec- tions to the project, none of the residents showed up to address Durham Council last week when it con- sidered oo-sidered the application Cailo lib Sufte At Theatre Theatre Durham per- fonns the award winning Neil Simon play "Califer- �iaa Suite" on Jame 10, 11 -:d 17, la at Dunbarton ._ rport United Church in "rkering. nam W cos\atv o0■sists i our short plays all set is Room 203 and 201 in the Beverley Hills Hotel.

A Zeta Theta Ends Year Xi Zeta Theta, an Ajax chapter in the international Beta Sigma Phi organiza- tion, has ended another fun and event -filled year. Highlighting its fall events was the annual bus trip to New York. Three Mads of exhausted women were expelled from the buses after a fun -filled weekend of shopping at the factory outlets in Amherst and partying throughout the evenings. Spring brings the daf- fodils, and with them par- ticipation with the other chapters in the Ajax/ Pickering area in the Cancer Society's daffodil drive.

June Opinion a page for expression for you and us Increase In Bike Accidents Last year was the worst for bicycle accidents in the City of Toronto since 1980, when the Toronto City Cycling Com- mittee began monitoring police reports. There were 1,011 bicycle accidents reported in 1987, com- pared with 842 in 1986, a -2D percent increase. This one-year jump surpasses the total percentage increase in accidents experienced from 1980 to 1964. The 1987 figures also repre- sent a reversal in the trend of police -reported accident statistics, which declined in both 1986 and 1985, the year the Cycling Committee launched its Bicycle Accident Countermeasures Program. Bicycle accidents had risen steadily from 734 in 1980 to 893 in 1984. While the number of accidents involving cyclists rose considerably in 1967, the resulting injuries were generally less serious than in previous years. However, two bike riders were killed. Since 1980. 14 cyclists have died as a result of accidents on City streets: an average of two per year, with the exception of 1986, when no fatalities occur- red. Common causes of bicycle accidents during 1987 includ- ed: motorists failing to yield 4 28 percent), cyclists failing to yield i nine percent). improper turns by motorists ( seven percent). and cyclists disobeying stop signs or signals ( six percent). Since 1980. collisions between bikes and motor vehicles have accounted for 79 percent of all bike accidents documented by police. Many bicycle accidents do not in- volve motor vehicles. and often go unreported. Studies sug- gest that the total number of accidents involving cyclists could be three to five times higher than police figures in- dicate. Since 1980, motorists have been assessed at fault in 59 percent of all reported bike -motor vehicle accidents. Generally. when cyclists have been in the wrong, they have been children. Accident figures suggest that cyclists' bike handling skills and awareness of traffic laws improves after 15 years of age. Police statistics monitored since 1960 indicate that men are three times as likely to be involved in bike accidents than women. Twenty to 34 year old male bike riders are the highest risk group. The accident rate for this category of cyclist in- creased steadily from 19t1D-E4. stabilized during '85 and '86, and rose draptaticagy (27 percent) in V. More than half of the bicycle accidents reported last year involved this age group. Concerned About Spadina LRT Dear Sir. As a Scarborough resider. I should like to expi my concern for proposals to build a Spadima L.R.T. 1 am especially concerned about the cost of such a proposal: $62 million. I should like to see these monries spent on improv- ing basic services in our suburban eommunities. In comparison to the City of Toronto, the suburbe and Scarborough as one of the suburbs. is not as well served by public transportation. We need a transit system in Scar- borough that is improved, upgraded and frequency of bus service. increased. Our community needs these im- provements to reduce dangers to transit riders especially women and children. There have been a number of sexual assaults on Scarborough transit riders recently. The building of a thud capacity line (Spadima L.. R T. ) in an area that is already served by two high capacity lines (Yonge - University Subway) makes no sense. The im- provement of basic services in the suburbs deserves a higher priority - Yours sincerely Carol Cayenne Bob's Notes Fund YWCA For Skills 'Raining A theatre workshop program is being used to help worsen who have been battered, make the transition into the workplace under a special project funded by the Ministry of Skills Development.

(Photo - Bob Watson Farmers Protest Dump by Gay Abbate Farmers from Scar- borough, Markham and Pickering have banded together to protest the possible expansion of the Bear Rd. garbage dump in northeast Scarborough. Last Friday, 20 of them demonstrated their opposi- tion by driving their slow- moving tractors on Steeles, Bear Rd. and Finch during evening rush haus thereby causing chaos on the roads. Metro is currently study- ing the feasibility of expan- ding the Beare Rd. dump, which closed in 1985, nor- thward. The area under consideration goes from Finch to Steeles and from Beare Rd. to the Pickering Townline. If the dump is expanded, some 30 homeowners and farmers would lose their hones to the bulldozer. Farmers in Markham and Pickering which border the proposed new dump site would be affected by the smell, sea gulls and truck traffic. Save -the -Rouge Valley System has thrown its sup- port behind the farmers out of concern about the possi- ble poisoning of drinking water and valuable farm land from leaking toxic chemicals. Also supporting the farmers in opposing the ex- pansion is a coalition of ratepayer groups from the three municipalities. The boalition is planning a demonstration of its own on June 1 at 8 p.m. at Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate on Lawrence Ave. E. Pickering Council last week also came out against any more garbage going in- to northeast Scarborough and has asked Scarborough Council to take the same stance. When Metro Council decided to look at expan- ding Beare Rd. only two of Scarborough's seven Metro representatives voted against it - Controllers Ken Morrish and Joyce Trim- mer. Metro is looking for a temporary site to base some 7 million tons of gar- bage produced between - 1990 when the Brock Rd. landfill site is full and 1995 when Metro hopes to have a new long-term dump site in ply.

Janne 8, IM Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Broadway Bound, cur- rently playing at the Royal Alex is the chronological third play of Neil Simon's more or less autobiographical series. We suggest it is not, as many think, the third and last of a trilogy. Mr. Simon has been, like the latter day A.J. Cronin, writing his own story for years - as witness, Come Blow Your Korn, Chapter n et al - and shows no signs of cessation from the profitable enter- prise. Broadwav Barad takm us, after Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues to the point in their lives where Eugene Jerome and his older brother Stanley (a.k.a. Neil -Doc -and Harry Simon) have landed a con- tract to write for the Phil Silvers Show - odd that it isn't referred to by its original title, "You'll Never Get Rich" - and are soon to be bound for Broad- way - It's not a comedy although it's funny; it's most certainly not a tragedy though there are mnrnnrstc nf sadnPan fish Around and Abou Your Dining &Entertainment Guide frequently reads or hears the word poignant used to describe Broadway Bound but we prefer the word pi- quant - pleasantly stimulating or disturbing to the mind. Given the runn- ing time of three hours, one might also suggest it's disturbing to thin buttocks. One does not quarrel with Mr. Simon's use of his alter ego as a de facto and occa- sional chorus. One does ob- ject, however. to the over use of the device. Granted that Simon's earlier suc- cesses were achieved on television, it is not necessary for him to assume that sophisticated theatregoers have the in- tellectual level of couch potatoes. Eugene doesn't need to explain to an audience the relevance of certain scenes or passages, nor their ef- fect upon his life. This observer has the decided impression that superb humourist Neil Simon uses Eugene Jerome as the comedian that the farmer secretly longs to be. We cannot hold back any longer in suggesting that the play is a rather self- indulgennt piece on the part of the author. Even so it's a fine piece of theatre thankfully bereft EVERY THURSDAY IN JUNE IS LIVE LOBSTER TIME %•+= • LUNCH or - DINNER L 9•• SPECIAL �' '" ��. 831-1000 683-1010 - - - PL 12294 Nhe OIdROOD- PICKPNG - O HOUSE Y The Dublin ati(m is called "Seni()r Guide to) Federal Programs and Services". and it pr(vidrS basic . info )rmatiOn z alx )ut federal hone fits and services available to seniors.

George Hess Lhon. GeorW Hse'L� a na(i of early Simon brittleness. Aunt Blanch is back. The widowed shell of Brighton Beach Memoirs is now remarried and to a wealthy self made man, much to the disgust of her socialist father. She is now confi- dent, secure and vital. She makes no apologies for her new found wealth as she tries to reconcile her separated mother and father. It's a role that adds little to the play and is almost meaningless to those who have not seen the earlier works - self indulgence anyone? - but it's pleasant for those of us who have, to see dear Aunt Blanche again, particularly as played by Elva Mai Hoover. That surname must be deliciously ironic to the shade of Neil Simon's grandfather. That grandfather is played by Bernie Passeltiner. He plays the role well but we suspect that the real life inspiiration was rather more miserable than likeable. Still one must honour the author's Older brother Stan is suitably brash as played by Bruce Clayton. We couldn't tell if it was Mr. Clayton's attack or the direction of Kiat Reis but it seemed to us that the port was given more freneticism than necessary, particularly when one knows the role Deana Mears and Frank Savin are blessed with the best parts, those of father and mother respectively. Ms. Mears' New Yost Yid- dish accent is mildly off- putting but, that aside, she brings an honesty to the port of the hard world—ig mother that is quite winn- ing. Frank Savino is the very essence of a decent man trying to do the best he can, though not always suc- ceeding. Fres attempt to ex- plain an early adultery rings with authority and, we daresay, 6u ewer had anyone who the mpenence. David Bachman as Eugene does what needs to be done with the rate and, by and large, does it well. He has an assured future in the theatre. Before leaving this rather over long review may one address the direc- tor with the reminder that good direction means, things,among other ac- ing all actors sothat they can be seen by everyone in the theatre. The second act staging is almost sophomoric. Or perhaps we were just soporific after three hags of no longer simple Simon. GRAPHIC ARTS: Laurence Cberniak is the second artist to be featured at the Brownstone Hotel. He is well known and perhaps best known for My Hooey and Me, an acrylic of two mimes named Metro and Metra which was painted in 1986 and unanimously chosen to represent the Toronto Arts Week and Toronto Arts Awards in October of 1987. Over seven million copies :have been published to date. There can be no doubt of Mr. Cheioiak's tet ' ical facility. It approaches that of Dab. Neither can one fail to admire his azures which are almost acbingly beautiful. Yet, and based on this presec>< exhibition, the two talents have not nodded as they should. Wo scenes of marine life are interesting but the neat of the wet seem a confusing mix of Gauguin, Klee and perhaps even Remington. They are all most un- questionably interesting and we recommend a visit to the Brownstone to enjoy them. We are honour bound to state, however, that we await his next estibition with tampered enthusiasm. IN THE CLUBS: After leaving The Brownstone we made our way to Albert's Han in-uh- the Brunswick. The B. situated on Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst has been there since Hector was a pup. We remember going there dur- ing collegiate days for il- licit brews after Saturday night dances at Masaryk Hass. In the intervening years we've read about its many cultural presenta- tions such as Wet T Shirt contests, Bad Breath com- petitions and the like. We returned to the Brunswick to hear and see The Romanian who were doing a two night stand to (t:o-11mand on Papa 7) Anniversaries/Birthdays 5tleh Wedding Anniversary Congratulations to Stanley and Bernice Manchester of Bndletowne Circle who will celebrate their Golden Wed- ding Anniversary on Wed.

In the firm's third free trade newsletter, the task force examines offen- sive strategies of Canadian businesses competing suc- cessfully south of the border. '•Many Canadian com- panies that have suc- cessfully entered the large U.S. market are targeting a specific area with pro- ducts and services that fill a specific niche," says Joe Buckley, task fare direc- tor. "We have found this to be a critical step of the U.S. entry strategy. "How products are distributed and the amount of resources committed to export are just as impor- tant. Our reserach in- dicates that a quality marketing effort frequent- ly determines the success or failure of Canadian firms in the U.S." The task force estimates that approximately lo,000 of Canada's 40,000 manufacturers are already serving various areas of the U.S. market. As well, export of services to the U.S. has increased by 56 percent over the past five years - 6' Many ears."Many Canadian businesses have been establishing their defen- sive strategies for free trade," says Buckley. Now the time is coming for the preparation and im- pletnentation of an offen- sive plan. In fact, our task fare has found that of- fence can often pay for the defence. "In general terms, com- panies should focus this of- fensive entry strategy on major' metropolitan areas within the target region.

The 30 bed Homeward Family Shelter will provide emergency bowing for families in crises situations. The shelter is a non-profit organization and will be operated by volunteers. It has been trying to find a suitable site in Scar- borough for several years. A needs survey by Homeward Family shelter found that in a two months period 142 Scarborough families could not find emergency housing. In order to qualify for the new shelter, persons must live or work in the Scarborough area. The shelter will be located on four acres at Neilson and Sewells Roads in the Malvern community. It will be part of a larger complex which includes seniors' rental apartments, seniors condominium apartments, day care and a family resource centre. Opposition to the shelter came from the owners of the new shopping centre across the street from the development. They said in a letter that the shelter "is neither appropriate nor compatible with the neighbouring town centre". However they fail- ed to show up at the council meeting to voice thele con- cerns.

What is the difference between a cathedral and a basilica? T.C. A. A basilica is one of the earliest forms of buildings used for Christian worship. Its layout and architecture provide the image that we think of as a typal European medieval cathedral with its clerestory windows, long narrow nave, apse and adjoining cloister. Early basilicas often housed the body of the patron saint of the basilica m a chapel under the altar. Nowadays, the title of basilica is given by the Pope to certain privileged churches. The fourmajor basilicas each have a papal altar, the use of which is restricted to the Pope or his immediate delegate and there are a number of minor basilicas throughout the world as well. A cathedral contains the official seat of the Bishop of the Diocese (from the Latin "cathedra" meaning throne). Originally it was surved by the Bishop himself, but as ad- ministrative duties of Bishops grew, the responsibility for the administration of the cathedral gradually was delegated to a special body of clergy and the Bishops came to visit their cathedrals only on important ecclesiastical oc- casions. While cathedrals are usually of outstanding size and grandeur. they are not always the largest or most splendid church in the diocese. In Rome, for instance, the Vatican basilica outshines the cathedral church which is St. John Lateran. a week in August.

Transportation Minister Ed Fulton announced both im- mediate transit commitments and longer term directions at a recent news conference at Queen's Park. They result from intensive consultation and augment a $130 million, three year program of transportation investment for the GTA unveiled last year. The consultation process included a Joint Transit Review Advisory Committee which was chaired by the Deputy Minister of Transportation and included senior represen- tatives from Durham, Metro, Peel, York, TTC, GO Transit and the Municipal Affairs Ministry. ',The Greater Toronto Area Inas become an urban centre of major international significance," Mr. Fulton said. "It is clearly headed for a prosperous future - and our transporta- tion system must reflect and support its potential." Premier David Peterson also attended the news con- ference and highlighted the important rode played by transportation in the provincial economy. Improvements to the highway and municipal road systems are proposed to support economic growth. Among the municipal road projects the government is committed to is a connection between Steetes Avenue and Taunton Road in Durham. The Region's target year for construction of a connection is 1992. In the area of provincial higlrways, the government has made a commitment to extend the -Highway 401 core- coSectar system to Brock Road in Pickering and is current- ly planning a mdening through to Oshawa. Commuter rail service is an important transportation link between Metro Toronto and surrounding municipalities. Among the commuter r ail projects underway is extension of the Lakeshore Fist GO Transit line to Whitby. It is to be completed by the end of 1911. A block laying ceremony was held June Lit at the site of the new Ajax GO Tram station. The ceremony marked initial coostrucbm of a joint development encompassing the new GO Transit rail station and Transit Square, a retail and business complex. Plann- ing for the extension of GO Train service to Oshawa is conti- Tbe Province pians to extent the Twin Pass to all com- muter rail stations. The popular GO-TT'C fare integration system was laundwd between Ajax -Pickan g and Toronto Union Station earlier this year as a pilot project. Mother plan in the arra of commuter rail is flexibility for service in the Havelock corridor to North Pickering. Improvements to the rW rapid transit network are also pan of the government's transportation dreebons. The province supports proposals to increase capacity on the Y009e Street subway, extent existing rapid transit lines and protect options for future east -west lines in the Sbep- pard and Eglinton corridors. A key comporient of the province's overall pian are new transportation "gateways" which will allow commuters to transfer from cars to public transit or from buses to rapid transit. A complete network of these facibbes will be developed around the periphery of Metro, where there is the most serious traffic congestion. ..Because people's travel needs transcend existing jurisdictional boundaries, the province must assume a leadership role in ensuring that future transportation in- vestments in the GTA are viewed from a full regional perspective. We have a responsibility to ensure that public funds are being spent wisely and that the needs of the entire GTA are well -served," Mr. Fulton said NORAH'S NOTES: Easy -Plan Industries Limited Training Trust Fund has received 557,500 through the Ministry of Skills Develop' meat's Ontario Training Trust Fund Program. Easy -Plan Industries, a Pickering furniture manufacturer, will use the funding to upgrade employee skills in areas ranging from drilling and laminating to computer training and credit management. The program is expected to bent more than 300 employees.
