lost in Paris
N Kathy Williams
Children's services co-ordinator
Some exciting new childreris books are available at the Pickering
Public Library.
Goode, Diane Where's Our Mama?
New York: Dutton Children's Books,
:1991. Ages 3 to 6.
When two chiidren become separated from their mother in a
bustling Paris train station, a friendly but bumbl'ng gendarme hurries
to the rescue. "What does your mama look like?" he asks.
They' answer that she is the naosts beautiful woman in the world.
Off he takes them in search of someone who fits this description.
The society belle he leads them to is, of course, nothing at all like
mama.
Each time, taking the children at their word, he locates a,Nou=
— among the smartest, the strongest, and the bravest — until at last
the children figure out how to go straight back to mama.
Every child can relate to this theme of separation. Diane Goode's
illustrations portray an earlier era in Paris with stylish elegance.
Levy, Elizabeth Keep Ms. Sugarman
in the Fourth Grade ::New York:
Harper Collins, 1992. Ages 8 to 10.
Fourth grade is different for Jackie. instead of spending her time
in the principal's office, Jackie is beginning to like school — thanks
to her teacher, Ms. Sugarman. Halfway through the year, something
awful happens.
But Jacide•s not gang to s back and let her year be ru.'nec —
she's going to do something about it. This is a funny and touching
story about a fourth grader who is just realizing that although others
may not always understand her, she is starting to know herself.
Smith, Lane Glasses, Who Needs Tm?
New York: Viking, 1991. Ages 5 to 9.
"Q*'dorla' wear glasses," says the young patient.
"Wrong?" says the mad optometrist. "Your mom wears glasses.
Your sister wears glasses..."
Big deal. But then there are the dinosaurs and fuzzy bunnies,
Hong -Kori, -Flu bugs and little green men. They wear glasses. And
that's only the beginning. The list gets crazier. The patient gets
Impatient.
Is this guy seeing things? Or is he showing his patient the real
wild world that's been under his nose all along? Seeing is believing
— in the hilarious world of the unexpected that Lane Smith creates.
Turner, Ann Rosemary's Witch New
York: Harper Collins, 1991. Ages 10
to 12.
Everyone in Rosemary's family shares the dream of owning a
special house. The summer Rosemary is nine they find it: an old
farmhouse with plenty of rooms, surrounded by meadows of flowers
and fireflies.
But almost as soon as they move in, strange things begin to
happen.. Treasured objects disappear. The weather turns cold and
foggy — in July. And one evening the whole town, is invaded by
toads that later disappear as sudden.1y as they came.
This spooky tale is suitable for good readers who can handle a
challenging text and are willing to wait for a story to unfold slowly.
Crime, punishment novels
BY Linda Linton, adult services coordinator
Best picks of the new books at the Pickering Public Library include
some great crime and punishment bestsellers.
A sure fire bestseller describes the latest Steven Martini novel
Compelling Evidence. Written in the style of Presumed Innocent,
the story features criminal defence attorney Paul Madriani, once a
promising associate with a prestigious law firm. Now, following an
affair with the co-founders wife, he's enduring a self-imposed exile in
a small sob law practice.
His former boss (the frusband of his ex -lover) is found murdered
and his wife is tried for the murder. She turns to Paul for help. The
story centres on the vivid courtroom drama of the murder trial. Look
for a compelling read, right up to the final verdict and shocldng
conclusion.
Inspector Morse
Fans of the PBS Inspector Mase series will enjoy the latest Colin
Dexter novel The Jeur J That Was Ours.
After 27 American tourists on a tour of Creat Britain find one of
their number dead and her handbag containing a valuable antique
dagger missing, Chief Inspector Mase is called on the scene. The
victim is thought to have died from a heart attack brought on by
shock.
But after another body is discovered, Morse suspects murder. ft is
Sergeant Lewis who eventually finds the first due. An enjoyable light
read for fans of Dish detective stories.
Police plot
U you prefer police procedtuals, Kiss: A Novel of the 87th
Precinct by Ed McBain lives up to the author s reputation for
masterful pbtting and suspense. This novel, as in previous McBain
offerings, features the whole squad room of the 87th precinct.
The action begins when Emma, the wife of a successful
businessman, disWms her fife ism danger, and her husband hires a
bodyguard. After two near -fatal accidents, Emma ends up in the
arms of the police and receiving the attentions of Steve Car+ek a
detective in the 87th - .
In the meantime, other dramas corttirtue, indtding the trial for the
murderers of CarelWs father. As usual McBain has de5vered an
ingenious plot, crisp dialogue and a gripping suspense.
Milgaard affair
For those who prefer hwhfe crime, we have the story of the
David Migaard affair. When Justice Faits is the account of perhaps
one of Canada's most obvious misca riaga of justice.
David Milgaard spent 22 years behind bars convicted of murder.
He has consistently proclaimed his innocence, yet his appeals have
ahvays been denied.
Read this book and see if you can make your own decision.

Name being sought for
new school
Pickering and Ajax residents have until
Fridav this week to suggest a name for the
new elementary school being constructed in
the Hermitage area of Ajax.
Schools can be given the name of a
person, a geographic name, such as the
district or street, or a name representing
the history in the area it serves. For
instance, Cadarackque Public School in
Ajax, officially opened this week, is named
after a First Nations village once in this
area.
Suggested names can be sent to the
Hermitage elementary school naming
committee at Durham public school board,
or contact Trustee Duncan Heid at 576-
4600, ext. 701.
People losing battle to
keep their hones
'What they're faced with is a double-
edged sword,' says Valerie Heid, housing
co-ordinator for Durham Access to
Permanent Housing.
Residents of Durham Region here are
fighting to keep their homes. The housing
committee received an astounding 1,113
although they seem a bit bemused by rush-
hour traffic.
Hydro amalgamation
meets with indifference
A request by Pickering council to have
Pickering Hydro look at the possibility of
amalgamating with other hydro commissions
in Durham has met with thundering
indifference.
John Wiersma, general manager of
Pickering Hydro, told owned hu staff did not
have much enthusiasm for the idea initially.
tat after further rdlection, they felt it was a
good time to review whether there should be
four separate commissions in Durham.
They wrote to the other commissions, but
ars replies wen negative.
Coaneilbr Kip Van Kempen, who started
the ball rolling because he didn't like the pniice
of hot water heaters in Pickering„ said he was
disappointed the other commissions stuck
their `ends in the sand.
Counsellor jailed 18
months for sexual assaults
A Pickering man, Rafeeq Ahmed Khan, SS,
was jailed 18 months last week in Whitby
court on three charges of sexual awash and
one charge of common assault.
The father of four was a counsellor at a
group home for the adult developmentally
handicapped between Sept. 1990 and Jan.
1991.
Residents of the group haat were taught to
fallow the direcdons of the counsellor, even if
they didn't understand the meaning. Khan
_AJ
calls in 1991 as compared to 456 calls in
1990. Unexpected job loss and high
maintenance costs are main reasons for the
1,113 calls.
Helping people apply for non-profit and
government housing and finding inexpensive
rental apartments are Reid's concerns.
With a reduced income people lose their
homes and the houses are sold. The owners
usually receive no money from the sale.
Marital problems are a reality with such a
crisis, and more single parent
accommodations are needed. Unpaid taxes
lead to a 15 per cent penalty per year. If
this is unattainable, the properties are
auctioned off.
Oshawa residents owe $7.2 million in
unpaid taxes, Whitby residents $4.6
million, Ajacians $4.2 million and Pickans
$3.1 million — a total of $19.1 million for
Durham Region.
Pickering Treasurer Jim Walls is
expecting to collect the unpaid taxes in the
spring when houses are sold.
Approve main Ajax town
centre guidelines
A guideline for development of the A-7
community is Ajax was approved by the
town council committee -of -the -whole on
,Mondav night.
Committee endorsed a tertiary plan. It
provides a rough outline for future services
that include roads, schools and parks in the
area. A-7 is an open space area slated for
future development.

Keith Powell, director of the group home
organization, was displeased with the verdict
handed down, feeling the punishment was too
lenient. He was quoted as saywg 'it doesn't
reflect the impact on the lives of the victims."
The prosecutor of the case, Lisa Grant,
refused to comment on an attempt to appeal
the decision. She had asked for a sentence of
four to six years.
Mr. Justice John Sheppard of Ontario
Court, general division in Whitby, said Khan
was in a position of trust, and abused that
trust.
Khan maintained his plea of not guilty,
although he apologised for what he put
everyone through.
Before Landing down sentence, Mr. Justice
Sheppard noted Khan's refusal ofguilt, and

49 transit drivers test
their skills
There were no bucking broncos or calf -
roping events — just plenty of skillful
driving — during the first-ever Bus Roadeo
at Pickering Town Centre Ipril 26.
The event featured 19 drivers from the
transit systems of Pickering, Ajax, a-hitbv
and Oshawa. Drivers were put through a
challenging obstacle course that — among
other things — tested their turning,
backing and passenger pick-up skills.
'The idea was to showcase the overall
skills of transit drivers," said Ajax transit
manager Terry Barnett, one of the
organizers of the Bus Roadeo.
"We're trying to enlighten everyone's
awareness of the skills of our drivers."
Pickering Transit's Robert Clarke out -

Canadian gift, furniture shopping better in Whitby
by James Yorke
hese days many consumers are
•<:;:<:;::::,;;;; singing the refrain South of the
Border". They are citing lower
prices as the reason they make their
shopping trips to the U.S.A.
However, there are a lot of cross-border
shoppers who also like the way they are treated
by the store owners there. This can be another
reason why these shoppers like to purchase goods
in America.
Durham Regan residents here are fortunate in
having a place in the region where they can have
all their requirements catered to ... and without
the hassle of a long trip.
In the IGA plaza at Anderson and Nanning in
Whitby is a store which trades under the title of
Forever Friends. Owned and managed by Peggy
and Greg Hunt, it has successfully served the
shopping needs of the community over the past
three vears.
This gift and furniture store has items for all
occasions, including home decor, personal
shopping, accessories and wall wreaths.
"We make service our number one priority
here,"says Peggy. "We are always polite and
attentive. As well, we make the place comfortable
for all our customers. We love the public to call
in and browse around without feeling any
obligation to purchase."
The store has a special charm of its own. it is
stocked with a wide variety of goods for all the
members of the family.
Among the goods available are gift cards, bags,
hand-crafted dolls and bears. Constantly aware
of the needs of the market, the Bunts are now
importing a new line of high-quality furniture
_Vnes Work.
PegV and Grey{ Hunt, proprietors of Foreoor Fri*" in the IGA platy at Anderson and Manninol
in Whitby, display owe of the latest furmituro units they import from the U.S.
from the U.S.A. This new line will beld
alongside furniture made in Canada, much of it
made in Ontario.
This new imported furniture will be a bonus
for the locals who don't want to make a trip to the
U.S. and have the problems of shipping goods
home. Forever Friends will be selling this
furniture to the public at the .-American price in
Canadian funds, plus Canadian taxes. A six to 8 -
week delivery period will be in operation as
clients select the items they want from a
catalogue.
"We're 100 per cent committed to this business
and to the area," says Greg. "'We believe in fate
and we ve put all of ourselves into the business."
"We like to thank our customers and make
them feel at home when they come in," says
Peggy. "We form personal relationships people
can feel free to drop in anytime for a chat."
The IGA plaza has proven to be an excellent
location for the store. It allows for easy access
and ample parking. Eye-catching window and
store displays always attract attention. They are
changed every five weeks.
With the introduction of the new pine and oak
furniture, the customer will be exposed to many
new and varied ideas for home decor. A variety
of stains and lacquers will make up :he I2
combinations available. These can be expected to
suit all types of houses whether they be suburban
or country style.
The name Forever Friends has become more
than a name over the past three years. This is
because of the dedication of Peggy and Greg
Hunt.
The customers are really becoming Forever
Friends with the owners. Now can anybody write
this title into a song, and forget about singing
South of the Border.
Forever Friends are proud to introduce a brand new full line of
"Pine & Oak Country Furniture" from a plate shelf to a bedroom suite

Home ownership affordable after all
>' here are a lot of great
things going for Dryden
Park Home's latest project
which is called :Mottingham
in Whitby.
First and foremost there is
quality. This 2 -phased and eventual
66 -home project boasts top features
and finishing touches many
homebuilders consider extras.
Things are included like solid oak
handrail and picket staircases, R-20
exterior wall insulation with R-31
ceiling insulation, quality 32 -ounce
broadloom installed in all living and
bedroom areas, stippled ceilings in
most rooms, architecturally -
controlled exterior color and brick
packages, all clay brick — and
much, much more.
"Many of our standard features
are what others would consider an
'upgrade'," says Dryden Park Home
representative Max Neiman.
Price is another important
endearing consideration. These
completely -detached single-family
homes on 40 and 50 ft. lots start as
low as $144,900 (for a 1,080 -sq. -R.
home on a 40 ft. lot with a double
car garage).
A total of 14 models are available
— with two elevations and a
number of alternative floor plans.
All are uniquely characterized by
attractive peaks and rooflines, plus
a Georgian Victorian appearance.
Every home features a double -car
garage.
We wanted to give people a good
product that was affordable,"
Neiman said. "Our whole idea was
I to give good value at 'l,ottorn line'."
.
We are literally the
tlowest price
` o the area. Everybody says that.
i but it happens to be true in this
j case," he says.
Phase l will include the building
of 40 homes. It is on the verge of
being completely serviced. It is set
to begin construction soon.
Occupancy will be available by
September, Neiman said. Phase 2
i will feature 26 units and will begin
construction in 1993.
Dryden Park Home
i representative Ilarry Weingarten
says homebuilders must be able to
combine price and quality in order
to please today's most active home
purchaser — the first-time buyer.
"We're here to accommodate
them," he said. 'The basic concept
with this project is to allow someone
the opportunity to own a decent -
sized home on a decent -sized lot.'
In light of today's housing market
we had to come out with something
that was affordable and had real
value to it." added Neiman.
Reputation is another important

Proximity is another key element
of Nottingham. Located off

401.
This is no isolated subdivision,
but an infill project to an existing
and attractive major community.
'When you put it all together it
makes somebody who thought they
couldn't afford a home realize how
affordable owning a house is after
all," Weingarten says.
Who could ask for anything more?
Pickering Naturalists now have 200 members
by Marjorie Green
!t
.� hanks to the green
movement what we've been
'' doing for all these years has
now become generally
accepted," laughs Dale Hoy, long-time
member of the Pickering ?naturalists.
"People no longer look at us like we're
some insect that crawled out from under
a rock."
Past president and this year's
conservation committee chairman, Dale
is one of the original members of this
enthusiastic group which currently
numbers around 200 members.
"It's a really interesting club," she
says, "one which seems to have a
tremendous amount of energy.'
Dedication to a cause can have that
effect on people.
Surprisingly, most of the club's
original members are still in the group
which Dr. J. Murray Speirs and his late
wife, Doris, founded in the spring of
1977.
"Our aim has always been to involve
and e�ten people in natural studies,"
says Dale. "We provide a forum for
people to get together — an education
Active members of the Pickering
Naturalists range all the way from
armchair naturalists, photographers,
hobbyists and bird watchers to
professional botanists, scientists, birders
and entomologists. Barry Kent MacKay,
whose column appears regularly in a
Toronto newspaper is an avid member.
"What makes it really great is that
these professionals are able to funnel
their knowledge and interests back into
the club," says Dale. "Also, many
belong to parallel groups and societies,
so there's a lot of overlap."
When information from each of the
various pursuits is pooled, the result
becomes an incredibly solid fund of
knowledge. When the Pickering
Naturalists come face-to-face with a
developer, their opinions concerning the
impact "progress" may have on a parcel
of sensitive land can not be easily
discounted.
"We try to maintain a position of
(being) advisory, rather than advocacy,"
adds Dale. "We prefer to change a point
Of view."
A member of the Federation of
Ontario Naturalists and an affiliate of
the Canadian Nature Foundation, one of
the group's original aims was to
document the area's natural history.
This they manage to do, primarily
through the production of a quarterly
newsletter. Annual dues of $15 per
person or $18 for a family go a long way
toward financing the newsletter which
has become a good chronicle of natural
life in NkeA g, she says.

as many outings each year as they can

Field trips may he to a local marsh,
Algonquin Park or even off whale -
watching in the Atlantic. "All our
leaders are volunteers." says Dale, "so
we'll go just about anvwhere someone
wants to take us."
Outings — such as bird watching.
fossil finding or star -gazing — can be
reared to the rank amateur level.
Others are planned for the more
advanced.
Although not a money -making
organization, occasionally the
naturalists do host fund-raising events.
Coming bird-a-thon, in which
participants must find sponsors, consists
of seeing how many different species of
birds can be spotted in a 24-hour period.
Members also enjoy the Christmas bird
count held Dec. 26.
"That's when you rush out, all hung-
over and stuffed with turkey, to count
every bird you see; laughs Dale. Not
quite as silly as it sounds, this annual
bird census is performed by amateur
birders all over North America to see
how each of the species has fared since
last year.
With members from school age to well
past retirement (at age 86, Dr. Speirs is
one of the eldest), the Pickering
Naturalists welcome anyone who wishes
to join. All events are open to the
public. If you're a naturalist at heart
and would like to learn more, look for
the group's pamphlet in your local
library, or call Dale Hoy at 427-1655.
