Bankers and GTA mayors r argue blame over recession
a
By Glenn Hendry
The mayors of the Greater
Toronto Area (GTA) had the
banking community on the
defensive at a conference in
Etobicoke Friday, laying part of
the blame for :lie
recession squarely c:�
shoulders of the big six banks.
North York mayor Mel
Lastman had the harshest words
for banking executives in
attendance, saying he couldn't
find anyone in the 'business
000'7......::%. W.*` k; -:d woo ds :or
"The banks are pulling the
heart out of our cities and out of
our businesses," he said.

worried about it."
But the bankers, like boxers
on the ropes, fired back at the
mayors. Charles Coffey, a vice-
president with Royal Bank, said
he took strong exception to
Lastman's comments and to
edia perceptions that banks
are to blame for the economic
s -nation.
"Banking has become the
lightening rod of everything
;mpacting negatively on the
economy. Cm getting a little
::red of the grenades being
:a::rched over the walls at us."
Coffey said the fundamental
oeef that no business should be
allowed to fail is wrong in
:odays economic reality, noting
:hat everyone, from small
business to bankers are being
squeezed.
He called on the mayors to
put their own house in order to
help the economy get back on
its feet.
"It's a two-way street. I
expect you to set an
environment that's conducive to
doing business," he said.
The first volley in the "buck -
passing" over who is to blame
for :he recession was fired by
the GTA :payors at their ias:
-onfere-:ce Jan. 15 where :hey
first demanded the bankers
loosen their lending policies,
especially for small businesses.
The bankers answered the
challenge and representatives
from six major lending
institutions came out as a team
to Friday's conference, ready to
defend their honor and lending
policies.
Ronald Rogers, a Bank of
Montreal vice-president, said in
his speech to the mayors that
his company does care about
small business and has in fact
increased their small business
portfolio. It was a point Coffey,
and representatives from the
Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce,
National Bank and Toronto
Dominion Bank also attempted
to jab home.
National Bank vice-president
Pierre Paquette said that the
economic woes of 1992 are
worse than dunng the 1981-82
recession so recovery will be
more difficult than it was 10
hears ago.
"The rules have changed.
This recovery is likely to be
much more selective," he
explained.
"Balance sheets in an o -d an
recession are :reas,:,e : oves of
undervalued assets. Now they
are minefields of write-offs in the
making...(and) none of this
caters to the traditional strengths
and past practices of the
banking system."
But the GTA mayors weren't
about to let the bankers off the
hook that easily. Ajax council
representative Roger Anderson
said he sees the real estate
business as a way to "kick start"
the economy and demanded
bankers start being more
generous with loans to that
business.
"If real estate is busy,
everything is busy. So loosen
up, undo your tie and relax your
rules a bit on mortgage rates,"
he told them. "It would help
everybody."
Oshawa mayor Nancy
Diamond also went on the
attack, accusing bankers of
"unfairly impacting" on Oshawa
and Durham Region by not
giving out loans to area
businesses.
Diamond said that because
General Motors, the city's largest
employer, is downsizing, the
banks have an unfair perception,
that the whole region's econor:y
is p:. -seting.
Arnold Estate plan rejected
By Glenn Hendry
A proposal to develop the
Arnold Estate is dead — for
now.
Ajax council in committee -of -
the -whole, in a surprising 4-2
vote Monday, turned down Rick
Rondeau's plan to develop the
land surrounding the Arnold
Estate near Harwood Avenue
and Kingston Road.
The vote sent a standing -

opponents of the plan home
happy.
The result was surprising
because Rondeau, frustrated by
repeated deferrals of his plan,
has filed an application to have
the matter heard at the Ontario
Municipal Board. Town
councillors, acting on advice
from the legal department, seem
to be convinced that if the
matter does reach the OMB
level, they will lose.
In earlier summations, several
councillors spoke of the dangers
of fighting the case at the OMB

School board
budgetary woes
Congratulations to Pickering, Ajax and
Durham Region councils whose diligent
efforts paved the way to minimal budget
increases in 1993.
Pickering and Ajax mill rates will rise less
than 1 per cent this year while Durham
Region's hike is a realistic 3.5 per cent To
the average property tax payer in Pickering,
the bill so far totalled amounts to little more
than $22 extra. Ratepayers in Ajax will
cough up approximately $15 more.
One might expect or even demand that
area school boards follow the frugal lead of
municipal colleagues by bringing in budgets
that reflect little if any increased cost to
ratepayers. But meeting such a demand
won't be easy and might well be impossible.
As always, the heat %rill definitely be on
school boards, since their respective shares
of the municipal tax bill represents the
largest chunk (between 50 and 60 per
cent).
So how can a school board trim its
budget?
There are only two sources of revenue —
the municipal tax base and provincial
support. Consider that both Durham
Region school boards will be given the same
amount of provincial ash as last year and
it's obvious who's going to bear the brunt of
higher school board costs.
:,,Consider also that Durham Region is
among the fastest growing places in
Ontario. Both school systems are
experiencing increased emollment (last year
the public school board added another
1,800 new studerrtsl.
Pickering public school trustee Louise
Farr, the school board chair, accurately
points out that the loud education systems
"can't turn clients away at the door" So
paring down the school board budget will
have a direct impact on society's most
important resources — children and
teenagers.

It is a totally unfair situation to allow selected

In my fine years on council, the staff at the Town of
Pickering have earned my respect for the job they
perform. No matter how wet intended an individual's

Sex education a parental responsibility
Dear editor:
The parents across Durham Region have reason to
be concerned.
They are forming coalitions across this region to
address the growing concerns being raised regarding
the content and proposed content of the sex
education curriculum.
In light of the growing health consequences of
promiscuous sex, it is extremely important for the
safety of our children that solid, accurate, factual
information regarding AIDS, STDs and alternate
lifestyles be taught — rather than poli&akmotivated
propaganda and half-truths.
The board of education must take a more
aggressive approach and stranger stand on abstinence
teaching doh they say they support) programs than
what is presently in place.
Condoning the philosophy that the Growing Up
Series represents puts the board it conflict with what
a lot of parents feel is bust for their children.
The educational institution is supposed to be a
supportive extension of the home. This liberalised
approach is no longer, but indeed progressive and
contrary to what mast parents would diose for their
children if given the choice.
The parental ability to influence the morals and
values of our children is being handed over to the
schools and its officals bmacae of the lack of interest
and involvement from parents.
Value -neutral curriculum cannot address today's
sensitive issues from a neutral position — that in itself
is someare's value.
As a parent I encourage you to find out what's
really going on and get involved. The time for
"burying your head in the sand" has definitely passed,
and you d better come up for air and breathe deeply.
Our testees are accountable to the people who
vote them into position an the board of education and
should be representing the needs and desires of their
individual communities.
AIDS continues to spread like wildfire while new
STDs are being discovered. Teen pregnancy, styes
and suicide are at an al -time high, and our children
are being lost to "Hollywood's standards" and
Pnziples.
It's definitely time for reform. The children are sol
ours. Get invoiced and be informed.

Councillors silence accusing resident
By Dan McLean
After repeated weeks of
leveling harsh criticism towards
Pickering Town administrators,
resident Richard Ward may have
uttered his last discouraging
word in council chambers.
During an executive
committee meeting on Feb. 22,
councillors finally decided
enough was enough. Members
put an end to Wards demeaning
tirades against staff by agreeing
not to let him speak again as a
delegation in council chambers.
"At this point, until council
directs otherwise, we are not in
a position to entertain Mr. Ward
as a delegation," Mayor Wayne
Arthurs said in an interview after
the committee meeting.
The mayor reasoned that
when access to council's public
forum no longer serves a public
interest then it must be curtailed.
On three occasions — most
recently during a committee
meeting on Feb. 8 — Ward
leveled charges of corruption
and mismanagement towards
town staff. Ward has also
threatened to launch legal action
against the town for what he
perceives as earlier injustices
against him by town
administrators.
Even though he was
effectively restrained from
speaking as a delegation in
council during Monday's
meeting, Ward couldn't seem to
help but take a parting shot
from the gallery at the town
manager.
"I'm sorry he's a crook, but
that's my apology," he shouted.
With that remark, Ward 2 Local
Councillor Eileen Higdon, who
chaired the Feb. 22 meeting,
acted swiftly and demanded
Ward be removed from the
council chambers by security.
The meeting ended with Ward
asking Councillor Higdon if she
indeed intended to remove him
from the chambers. She angrily
responded by telling him, "I
threw you out on your ass — out
man!"
Earlier in the committee
meeting, Ward 2 Regional
Councillor Kip Van Kempen, on
a point of personal privilege,
offered a personal apology to
Town Manager Noel Marshall
and his staff.
-1 feel you and your staff are
owed an apology for the abuse
said over the last few weeks,"
he said.
Resident Charles Smith, who
spoke as a delegate, offered his
support to town staff calling
Ward's remarks during earlier
public meetings "character
assassination."
"1 would hope in the future we
would not hear the same
rhetoric," he said. Smith
appealed to councillors, asking
them to create some type of
bylaw that would allow any
council member to stop
someone making personal
attacks against staff or town
politicians.
Smith also praised Marshall
for his more than 20 years of
service to the town and
community.
"We know you have served
this town faithfully," he said on
behalf of he and his family. "1
do believe (staff) do the best
possible job with what they've
got."

Ajax budget means 5 more
By Glenn Hendry
In a perfect world, municipal
taxes would not go up.
However, in the economic
realities of today, that's
politically impossible. But Ajax
Town Council did the next best
thing, holding the mill rate
increase for 1993 under 1 per
cent.
Councillors went to the table
for budget talks Saturday, and
after almost nine hours of
wrangling, managed to whittle a
staff -requested general levy
increase from 3.64 per cent to a
relatively painless 0.84 per cent.
The increase means an extra
five dollars a year for the
average Ajax ratepayer.
"I'm personally pleased with
what we arrived at," said
Regional Councillor Susan
Dulny, who chaired the special
budget advisory committee
:meeting. "We spent a good part
of the day on it and we carne to
a responsible and equitable —
and I think justifiable — final
figure."
The total budget for the town
this year is $34.9 million,
including $21,285,100 in the
general levy budget.
The biggest projects the town
will begin in 1993 are the long-
awaited A4 community centre
priced at $7,322,000, road
work on Highway 2 from
Chapman Drive to Harwood
Avenue at $868.100. and the
proposed A4 branch library at
$678,000.
None of these three projects
costs will come from the general
levy.
The biggest bite out of the
general levy comes from two
other road work projects. The
second phase of the Pickering
Beach reconstruction
(Beachview, Rangeline, Ruthel,
Ebony, Poplar) will cost
$536,200 — with $328,900
coming from the general levy
and Durham Region picking up
the rest.
Ajax ratepayers will also foot

the $214,700 bill for work on
Christina Crescent, although this
is $200,000 less than the
original request. Staff had
requested $414,700 to bring
the road up to town standards
but after spirited debate between
Ward 1 Councillor Frank
Schaper (for) and Regional
Councillor Roger Anderson
(against), council opted for a
cheaper alternative.
The $200,000 slash
represented the biggest cut
made to the original budget
proposal. In all, council cut
$461,100.
Other major projects include
$100,000 to integrate the
library computer system;
$126,600 for library service re-
location; $200,000 for
computer equipment for the
finance department; $150,000
for a rescue unit and $375,000
for a triple combination pumper

$109,400 for a new dump truck
for p iblic works; $101,000 for
Orchard Road reconstruction;
$137,400 for Brock Stree;
work; and $460,000 for new
transit buses.
One project not in this years
budget is the reconstruction of
MacKenzie Avenue — a road
that Mayor Jim Witty called the
worst in town at a budget
meeting last year. The cost of
the first phase of the work —
$467,600 — was deemed too
expensive by council.

manager at Fawn's Landing — a Coughlan
Home neighborhood near Finch Avenue
East and Fairport Road in Pickering. It's
a statement said with great conviction.
"I believe that — no question," she
insists. "Coughlan is a number one
organization that has traditionally bent
over backwards to pleasePurchasers."
A tour through a model home at Fawn's
Landing clearly confirms what Wagman
has to sav and illustrates Coughlan
quality. The Poplar — a 3,160 sq. ft., all -
brick, 2-storev model — is a magnificent
home that features outstanding touches
from top to bottom.
The quality is obvious as soon as you
enter the front door into a beautiful foyer,
then walk into a huge, bright kitchen with
breakfast area and pantry. There's lots of
cupboard and counter space and a large
walkout patio linked directly to this
stunning kitchen.
The family room linked to the kitchen
features a floor -to -ceiling fireplace.
There's a large dining room that leads to
an even larger living room. Even the main

"..... Since the tremendous

Communication key to child success
By Dr. Rath Peen,
Psyclrolo061
I,earnig IsyUCIIIIIII
It's mid -year and
it may be the first
time parents realize
there's aproblem.
When the news hits home that a child is failing
a class, a parent feels confused and uncertain
about where to turn.
If a child is failing, an essential remedy IN to
improve communication with the teacher so
parents can effectively manage their child's
performance in class. The best environment
for initiating better communication is a
parent -teacher conference.
Typically, a parent expects the teacher to
set the conference agenda. This is a mistake.
A teacher may have 100 conferences in a week
and to expect a specific agenda for each child
w unrealistic. The parent must attend the
conference with a two -fold mission: assessing
the problem and working with the teacher to
develop a plan of action.
First, the parent should ask the teacher to
identify why the student is failing. is the
failure related to behavior or academics? A
child who skips class poses a different problem
from one who doesn't know his multiplication
tables.
Once the problem is defined. the parent and
teacher must agree on a plan that F•.tablishee
communication betwrer home a^d-.-h,,ol. A
daily or weekly checklist that records how a
child is performing in class, homework and
upcoming tests can be an effective tool.
During the conference, the parent and
teacher should list desired behaviors for the
student. A weekly checklist may include:
completed homework, finished class
assignments, paid attention in class, came to
class prepared, arrived on time, and
participated in class activities.
During the conference, work out details,
such as who will monitor the checklist, how it
will be delivered to the parent and when the
student can meet with the teacher. All the
details should be recorded in writing with a
copy for both parties. The conference report
may serve this function.
Once the checklist is established, the parent
must build a behavior management program
around it. The program should include
consequences and rewards for behavior.
For example, a child may not be able to
watch television if he receives an unacceptable
checklist. Or, she may be able to spend
Saturday with friends at the mall if her
checklist is acceptable.
In order for the checklist to work, parents
must clearly explain what is considered
'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' and
consistently enforce the consequences they
have established.

Ajax redesigning Ward boundaries
Ward boundaries in the Town
of Ajax will be redesigned this
year to better reflect relative
populations.
Ward 1 is expected to have
approximately 21,000 residents
next year and more than
25,000 by the year 2000.
Ward 2, the next most
populated ward, will have more
than 15,000 people in 1994
and is projected to grow to
23,210 six years later.
The other three wards will
only have a combined
population of slightly more than
25,000 next year and less than
30,000 by the year 2000.
Council was presented by
staff with four options for the
change. Option one attempts to
balance the wards by population
for the 1994 election year, while
option two seeks to maintain the
balance for the 2000 election.
Option three adds an
additional ward to the scenario,
putting the total number of
wards at six, while option four
drops a ward, bridging the ward
oamt to fora.
Highway 401 will continue to
form at least part of the
bmmdaries between wards in all
four options. The retention of
the neighborhood identity of
Pickering Village is also
consistent in all options.
The reason for the necessary
changes, clerk Albert Hodges
told committee last week, is the
population growth north of the
highway. The Ajax wards south
of Hwy. 401 are currently
developed dose to their limits.
,Ajax Mayor Jim Witty said he
prefers option one, noting that

$200, 000 blaze
A fire in Ajax Friday night completely
destroyed a Pickering Beach home, causing
$200,000 damage.
Five trucks from both Ajax stations and 25
firefighters responded to the blaze at 494
Poplar Ave. and staved at the scene
throughout the night and into Saturday
morning.
The fire started just before 9 p.m. Most of
the crews stayed until about 3 a.m.
Ajax Deputy Fire Chief Mal Wadsworth
said there were no injuries. The residents of
the house were not home at the time. The
cause of the blaze is under investigation by the
Fire Marshal's Office.
Cost cuts force tceekend
info centre closure
The energy information centre at the
Pickerine .Nuclear Generating `tation is now
closed weekends, as a cost-cutting measure by
Ontario Hydro.
Ontario ilydro spokesman Don Terry said
the company has been looking at ways to cut
costs for some time. The possible closure of
the information centre on weekends has been i
under discussion since last summer.
'we're trying to look under every nook and

Get ready pay to3.5% more for r
Get ready to pay out an
average of $15 more this year
for the Durham Region share of
municipal taxes this year.
During a regional council
meeting Feb. 17, politicians
approved a budget that will
reflect a 3.5 per cent increase
over last year's total. To the
average taxpayer in Pickering
that hike will' meari an ex --a $22
this year. Ajax ratepayers will
add on another $15 to their bill.
On average, the region's
share of the total property tax
bill for 1993 will amount to
approximately $437 per
household.
As was the case in 1992,
expenditures defined as
uncontrollable saw the largest
budge' increases. Durham
Regional Police Services
received a 3 per cent budget
increase while general welfare
assistance gets an extra 2 per
cent.
Controllable expenditures
including regional departments
and non -departmental functions
saw an overall increase of only
.4 per cent. Projected
assessment growth (1.9 per cent

A

egional taxes in 1993
higher) reduces the 5.4 total to
the final 3.5 per cent.
Brock Mayor Donald Hadden,
the region's finance and
administration committee
chairman who presented the
budget, called the 3.5 per cent
end result "reasonably
acceptable."
"The staff certainly did their
Job," he said, explaining the

regional budget was approved in
record time. Last years final bill
was approved in May.
Highlights of the 1993 budget
included a total $27 million
allocation for welfare costs. The
figure represents a $1.7 million
increase from 1992. A total of
19 new social services welfare
staff will be added to keep pace
with increasing demand. The
hirings are a requirement from
the province.
"The continued increasing
caseloads due to the current
economic recession has forced
welfare costs to escalate with
only limited increased costs -
sharing by the province," the
budget report stated.
"These programs are largely
mandated by the province and
thus, this cost increase is beyond
the control of Durham Regional
Council."
A $2.7 million increase to the
police services budget is
attributed to step-up costs for
personnel services.
Durham Region will spend
more than a half million dollars
on new staff positions. In
addition to the 19 social services
welfare workers, nine staff will
be added to homes for the aged
programs and two additional
staff in the police services area.
Durham Region council in
1992 adopted a resolution that
limits 1993 tax levy increases to
a guideline of 5 per cent or less.
Jack Fowler remembered
A memorial service and wake are planned for Jack Fowler
on Saturday, Feb. 26.
Fowler died on Sunday, Feb. 21, after spending more than
nine years in a coma at the Ajax and Pickering General
Hospital.
Friends are invited to share favorite stories, anecdotes, and
to toast in celebration of his life with family and friends.
The event will be held at the Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club

Ajax company turns waste into plastic
By Glenn Hendry
For builders looking for a way
to mimic the look of everything
from granite to glass to
expensive Italian marble, at a
fraction of the cost, an Ajax
company has the answer.
It's the same answer Mr.
Robinson: gave to a young
Dus:'n Hoffman, as career
ab.ice, in the 196 7 n:oa-e The
Graduate Plas-:a, Or =-e
specifically, fibreglass -reinforced
plastic.
Plastiglas Industries, who have
been in business for 21 years
(perhaps they heeded Mr.
Robinson's advice), are
developing a solid reputation in
the construction business for its
products, including a new
composite materia: called
S:raturr.
I he fibreg:ass -e:n:crced
Rental
plastics often cost 50 per cent
less than originals. The thin
panels are easy to install, they
last nearly as long as stone and
few can tell the difference.
Plastiglas has also found a
partial solution to one of the
biggest problems in modern
plastics — the material doesn't
break down, sometimes for
severa. h,;:� red years. Stratun:
is an ,nnova:ive. recvc':ed
product that utilizes 80 to 90
per cent waste fibreglass
reinforced composites, including
autoparts, glass from blue boxes,
iron ore slag, ceramics and
waste building materials.
"Ifs turning a negative of the
industry — thermosetting
plastics don't break down for
hundreds of years — into a
posi'ive," said Piastig:as
ind'strla: designer Gx)rc ' Va..r,.

Stratum is also strong — it
has a natural stiffener in it — as
well as durable and resistant and
is available in any type of color
or texture.
"It's molded to meet the
builders needs," Waller added.
The new product has turned
enough heads in the industry for
Plastiglas to win a composite
award, for recycled
thermosetting plastics, at the
recent Composites Conference
in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Stratum has been used for
retrofit at a downtown Toronto
residence and at Toronto's
Forest Hill Collegiate. It's also
being used for the mass
production of site furnishings
such as benches, signs, bicycle
racks and waste containers.
The outside walls of the
Plastiglas 3,000 square -foot
office in Ajax are built with their
own fibreglass -reinforced plastics
as well.

1993 Oldsmobile Achieva SL
By Glen Konorowski
New in 1992 the "Olds" Achieva enters the new model year with
only minor changes.
This is a new breed of "Olds" that feels driving should be fun as
well as a practical way of travelling.
The Achieva comes with a choice of three 2.3 -litre, 4 -cylinder or
a 2.3-V6 engine. My test car was the high output double overhead
cam "Olds" Quad four. This four pumps out an amazing 175 hp
which propels t.^. 1,316 kg (2,900 lb.) car with ease.
1 have to admit the car had a European feel to it — tight and
responsive.
The 5 -speed :ranual is the only transmission with the high output
Quad Four. This unit worked flawlessly and really highlighted the
.responsiveness of :he engine.
Coupe or sedan offers the buyer the good looks of a 2 -door or the
practicality of a 4 -door. I had the 2 -door which.. with children, wasn't
too hard to get in or out of the back seat area. BOB MYERS

1993 Saturn Cars
By Glen Konorayskl
H people ask me what ;s the best buy in the car market today I
have to honestly say the Saturn.
With a starting price of just $11,000, there is no beating the value
one gets with this car.
Unlike the rest of the market aAding the Corvette, the outer
side body panels of the Saturn are plastic. The roof, hood and trunk
k
lid are made of steeL
The base Saturn cartes with a 1.9 -litre single overhead cam
engine while the higher model has a 1.9 -litre double overhead cam.
I have tested both models and found them excellent engines with
plenty of lir.
The Saturn canes in three body styles for the 1993 model year
— a coupe, sedan and wagon. The most distinctive of the group is
the top -of -the -tine coupe with the hideaway headlights.
If you enjoy driving, but dont have a big budget for a higher
priced sports coupe, the Saturn is really all you need. SATURN,

making its presence felt in the
business community.
Minacs Mitchell Brooks
Marketing and Design Inc. is
hosting a gala opening at its
Oshawa headquarters Feb. 25
to introduce the new team in
the local marketing design

The company is a division

camera-ready recruitment ads
for three years.
But Elaine Minacs decided
a change was in order and
took on Meda Mitchell, her
long-time manager, and
Patricia Brooks, a 10 -year
veteran of the Toronto
marketing scene, into the new
company.
"It was an opportunity to
put three minds together and
come up with a better
mousetrap," Minacs said.
The Minacs Group,
responsible for the corporate
brochures of the towns of
Ajax and Pickering and the
Durham Region
Manufacturers Directory, have
been in Durham for 14 years.
They employ approximately
500 people in all divisions
(including an Ajax office),
mostly in Durham.
They also operate a
temporary employment firm
and a mail service company.

The ninth annual observance of Freedom to Read Week will be marked
March 1 to 8.
Freedom to Read Week, sponsored by Canada's book and magazine
industry is intended to focus public attention on the vital issue of intellectual
.,reedom. The freedom to read is essential to a democratic society, and must
constantly be defended against government actions and pressure from
special interest groups who may seek to limit public access to print materials
in schools, libraries and bookstores.
An ekampk., of a book that has faced censorship is Lord of the Flies by
William Golding. In 1988. a Toronto school board rejected pressure to ban
the Ncc lcl prize winning novel from curriculum in high schools on charges of
racsm and violence.
Another is the famous ase of The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie.
Death threats forced the author into hiding as violent protesters claimed the
novel was deeply offensive to Islam.
Even children's literature has been challenged. Thomas' Snouusuit by
Robert, Murch was removed from an elementary school library in Alberta
because ;t "mdermined the authority of school principals."
Aiwa P, blic Libram will mark Freedom to Read Week with a display of
chailenged materials, a bibliography listing books that have been banned or
challenged through history and a spedal program featuring local author Paul
Jan Pad Duggan in a discussion on censorship and a reading from Ns
book of poetry entitled Murphy the Rat the Tales of the Tough City on
Saturday, March 6 from 11:30 a.m. to noon. The program is free. Just
drop in Visit Ajax Public Library to freely see and borrow any of the fisted
items and more. Call the library for more information at 6834000.
Ajax Public Library has introduced new borrowers cards featuring the new
yellow and red apple logo. The logo, by Linda Wielinga, is now featured on
most Ajax Public Library materials and publicity.
Patrons can pick up their new cards at either the main branch at 65
Harwood Ave. S , or at the Village branch at 56 Church St. N in Pickering
Ullage. Call 683-4000 for more information.
