East Africa is beckoning Pickering's John and Susan Baker.
It's not the call of adventure or some other fanciful quest. But a
cry for help from some of the most destitute people in the world.
John, 38, and Susan, 36, along with their own three children —
Greg, 16, Andrea, 12 and 8 -year-old Michelle — will venture to
Nairobi, Kenya this summer where they'll spend the next three years.
There, the family will work with African orphans and other
abandoned youngsters.
"These particular children don't have any hope," said John during
a recent interview with The Bcty News, where he outfined the family's
missionary aim.
"The children in any difficult society have the iowest value in that
society. If anyone is going to suffer it's going to be them. Children
can't speak for therrnsehes so they are the most vulnerable."
"These children are the lowest of the low over there," Susan
added, explaining many of the parents of these youngsters died from
AIDS while other children were simply abandoned. "Nobody %ants
to do anything with them there."
The family's help task is daunting to say the least. Literafly
thousands and thousands of youngsters living in this cramped city of
? million people, have been disenfranchised by an overwhelmed
social system and a brutally harsh way of life.
Kenya is among the most progressive African countries. A place
with marry modem -day features — televisions, automobiles, office
buildings.
"But within that same city you have the lowest of Idestyles as well,"
John said. "rhats like most Third World cities. It's growing by the
day."
He described Nairobi as a city approximately the size of
Scarborough — with huge community pockets of poverty. The
Bakers will be working in a ghetto of approximately 250,000 people
living in an area the size of Bay Ridges.
It's a place where thousands of orphans live their lives on the
streets. As Christian missionaries, the Bakers goal won't be to
completely eliminate the persistent and overwhelming suffering.
Theyll simply do what's realistically possible and try to make a
positive difference.
The family will work through a relief agency bused in Pickering
called The Arms of Jesus Children's Mission — a sponsorship

Provincial report on land -use planning gets mixed Ajax reviews
By Glenn Hendry
A report from a municipal
affairs ministry -sponsored
commission on land -use
planning received mixed reviews
from Ajax councillors and staff
Monday.
Ward 4 Councillor Jim
McMaster called it a waste of
time and Regional Councillor
Roger Anderson added it was a
waste of money.
Councillors Pat Brown (Ward
5) and Steve Parish (Ward 3),
however, agree with most of the
commission's findings, saying
reforms to land -use planning are
needed.
Council and staff were asked
to make comments on the
report and submit them to the
commission. They in turn have
promised a final report by the
end of May.
Dubbed the "Sewell
Commission," the Commission
on Planning and Development

Reform in Ontario was
established two years ago to
examine public and private
interests in land development. It
also hopes to restore confidence
in the integrity of the land -use
planning system and make
recommendations on changes to
the 1983 Planning Act.
Chaired by former Toronto
Mayor John Sewell, the
commission includes
environmental lawyer Toby
Vigod and George Penfold, a
professor of land -use planning at
the University of Guelph.
Ajax planning department
comments on the report were
approved with some revisions by
council. But McMaster and
Anderson, as well as planning
director Peter Tollefsen,
expressed concern with some of
the commission's
recommendations.
"rm quite disappointed with
the whole package," McMaster
said.
"It sounded like a good idea at
the time — they were tying to
streamline the (planning)
process. But they're adding
more layers of bureaucracy. It
realty sounds like we're wasting
our time.'
Anderson was harsher still.
He proposed an amendment
that the cost of the commission
(Tollefsen had not been
informed of the final tally) be
forwarded to Ontario finance
minister Floyd Laughren.
"When he sees the costs of
this he'll put it on the 'back
burner' and tell the people on
the Sewell Commission to get
real jobs."
The commission's draft report
recommends a number of
changes to the planning system.
These include more attention to
preserving the eco -system,
transferring some planning
decisions from the municipality
to the province and providing
more public forums, like open
houses. It's hoped these will
improve the "perceived integrity"
of the system.
The commission also
proposes intervenor funding
($500,000) for public appeals at
the Ontaro Municipal Board.
Brown and Parish both
agreed more public involvement
in planning decisions is needed.
Brown offered an amendment
supporting intervenor funding
(with a Mayor Jim Witty rider
that the money not come from
municipalities).
Parish also noted that the
commission's desire to improve
the integrity of the system was a
telling comment.
"There's a perception that the
planning process is a prostitute
to be bought and sold,
depending on who has the
money."
Tollefsen took offence to
Parish's remark. He disagreed
with Parish's assertion that the
report's findings if implemented
would speed up the
development process. The
planning director said he was
skeptical that the process would
be streamlined.
Tollefsen also doubted the
commission would take Ajax's
comments seriously, noting that
they are "not exactly waiting on
Pins and needles" for the town's
response.

Expect one less Ajax council member in 1994
It's official. Ajax council will
have one less member after the
1994 election
Subject to approval at full
council, the executive and
development committee
approved a ward realignment
scheme at Thursday's meeting
that will see the total number of
councillors drop from five to
four. Ajax would still elect two
regional councillors.
Ward 3 Councillor Steve
Parish, who supported the
change, will be the big loser in
the proposed realignment. The
current Ward 3 will cease to
exist after next year's elections.
Regional Councillor Susan
Dulny expressed disappointment
with the realignment, noting "if
you're going to deal properly
with the issues, you're going to
need the people." But she did
vote in favor of the 4 -ward
system, calling it the
"responsible" option.
Ward 1, which =.en -.y ,.nes
Highway 401 as its sou-ner-
border, will end at Kingston
Road under the new scheme —
effectively splitting historic
Pickering Village. But it will
gain additional population from
Ward 2.
Under the plan, Ward 4
absorbs most of Ward 3 as well
as part of Pickering Village from
Ward 1. It will be known as
Ward 3.
Ward 5, to be known as Ward
4, takes in the rest of the old
Ward 3. The east -west
boundary between the two
wards will be Harwood Avenue.
The numbers crunch well in
the realignment for the 1994
election but a gulf between the
northern and southern wards
will begin to develop by 1997.
The two northern wards (Ward 1
and 2) are expected to
experience the highest growth in
the future. Council will likely
ponder fLrther ward changes
after 1997.

HOME FURNISHINGS HOME IMPROVEMENT HOME RENOVATIONS
If you're in the midst of
planning a move to a new home
and you're like most people,
you re probably beginning to feel
a little overwhelmed
You know there's an endless
array of things to do, but you'd
probably rather not think about
ft.
By carefully planning your
move well in advance of moving
day, you can help ease the
transition and make sure the
event is as smooth and stress -
free as possible. After all, a
move should be a positive and
exciting experience — not
something you dread and
procrastinate over.
So, to save both you and your
family from frazzled nerves and
countless arguments, take the
time now to chart out every
aspect of your move. Get the
whole family involved in the
project so that everyone feels
included. This approach will
help generate a good, positive
attitude.
Obviously, if you're moving
across town, you have a little
more flexibility, you can always
make several trips back and
forth from your current home to
your new one, taking odds and
ends in loose bags and

containers.
But if you're planning to
relocate to a different city many
miles away, your move will
require a little more
organization.
It's a good idea to start by
taking an inventory of
everything you own so you can
decide between the items you
want to take and those that you
no longer need or want. You
might even want to store some
items in a storage facility if you
plan to do some immediate
cosmetic or structural
improvements as soon as you
move in to you new home (like

You may also want to
consider disposing of some
items through a garage sale or
through donations to charitable
groups. Many items that may
seem not worth salvaging can be
reconditioned and recycled by
these organizations.
Also be sure to book a
moving company — or reserve a
rental truck if you're handling
the move yourself. This should
be done well in advance of your
move — at least a month — to
ensure that everything is in place
for the big day.
It's a good idea to stock up on
cardboard boxes and
newspapers well in advance of
your move. Boxes can usually
be obtained from grocery stores.

Light up your home
If you re knoldng for ways to
make your home brighter and
more spacious this spring, why
W consider instalTu►g a skylight
or two?
Properly installed skylights will
not only brighten up your home,
they'll also add exciting new
focal points to your living space
— and they won't compromise
your privacy.
A skylight is also a bonus if
you or a family member is a
budding gardener and would like
to give your greenery an extra
boast. If you're into astronomy
or star gazing, a skylight will give
you a perfect vantage point.
There are many different
types of skylights to choose
from, but no matter what you
decide, pire sure to enjoy the
benefits.
The type of skylight you
choose will depend on the look
you want to achieve, and the
purpose you want your skylight
to serve. Do you just want the
skylight to bring in more light, or
do you really want a birdseye
view of your outdoor world?
Plastic bubbles are a popular
option, but they are not
necessarily the best for viewing,
since their rourdness can distort
your view. A fixed glass skylight
is another option. A vented
unit — which resembles a car
sunroof — will allow you to
open ft up and let fresh air in
and warm air out.
If youire concerned about the
heat that a fixed skylight may
generate during the peak of
summer, you might want to
consider installing a tinted unit.
Another option is to shade the
skylight either from the inside or
outside with blinds or other
materials.
The type and size of skylight
you choose win depend largely
upon your budget. There are
several pre -fabricated units
available on the market which
you can install yourself- Ideally,
however, you should have yours
installed by a contractor who
specializes in glass installation.
Obviously, the larger the skylight

you choose, the higher the cost
will be.
Before you finalize your
plans, take a good look around
your home, both inside and out.
Even a very subtle change in the
location of your skylight can
produce a totally different effect.
Also keep in mind that you
want your skylight to be subtle
and natural — it should look like
it has always been there.
Since southern exposures get
the most light, you may want to
have your skylight installed on
the north side of your home, to
brighten it up a little.
YouIl also have to take your
roof into consideration. if you
have an attic, you'll have to have
a light shaft to bring light in
from the skylight and down to
the room below. If you plan to
handle the installation yourself,
it's still a good idea to Check with
an expert first to make sure you
won't be causing any structural
damage -
Keep the proximity of nearby
trees in mind as well — limbs
can scratch and damage
hts-
Weather conditions should
also be kept in mind. If you
traditionally receive a large
buildup of ice and snow on your
roof, you may have problems
with leaks or condensation if
your skylight isn't properly
installed and sealed.
There is an endless array of
shapes and sizes of skylights to
choose from. Ponid styles are
popular, along with the more
traditional round, domed and
rectangular styles.
If your budget allows, you
may even want to have one
custom designed to suit your

Less means more
politically -speaking
There's no shortage of political issues
to discuss during weekly sessions of
town council meetings. Nor for that
mattes is there any shortage of elected
representatives who feel the need to
have their say.
It's an often convoluted process that
usually serves to delay the inevitable
rather than change the outcome of
decisions. So from an expeditious point
of view, less would probably achieve
more on any politically -elected body.
You might suggest this scenario flies
in the face of real democracy — and
technically -speaking you would be
correcL True democracy demands that
an elected body hear as many sides of
an issue from as many sources.
However, practically -speaking,
dissenting voices — especially those
that don't speak in a collectively
responsible way — tend to bog down
the entire process. Important tasks
that need to get done simply take too
long or don't get accomplished at all.
So a decision by Ajax politicians to
drop one of its members by eliminating
a ward seems a sound move that will
help simplify an often excessively
complicated process. And as a bonus,
the move will save the toam the cost of

Why vas it so warm in the council chambers? Did
the council members think folks would leave early

Film documentary explores the growing concern about lawns
By Uncoln Tmdeau
M co-op student
You may have seen some
unusual shows on television in
the past but it is unlikely that
you have ever seen anything like
Lawns — a film documentary
about people who have a
passion for front yard gardening.
Lawns is described as a
humorous and entertaining look
at a North American expression
of individuality, conformity and
obsession. The film will focus
on the "relationships" people
have with their front lawns.
Janis Lundman of Back AIley
Film Productions, the company
making the documentary, said
people from a number of
different areas, including
Pickering, are being sought.
"We are looking for people
who care passionately about
their front yards whether it's
grass, ornaments, rocks or
whatever."
"Everyone has a need to
express themselves and one of
the ways is with your front
yard," added Lundman who,
along with Adrienne Mitchell, is
a director/producer of this film.
Shooting will begin the long
May weekend and will be
conducted mostly in interview
situations in a way that best
reflects the bond people have
with their lawns, said Lundman.
"Lawns" may sound unusual,
but there is a reason for
choosing it.
"We saw some interesting
lawns in the little Portugal area
in Toronto one day and were
curious about why people cared
so much about them."
"The project is fun and
enlightening and we met some
really wonderful people," she
added.
People will be surprised by
just how much a front lawn
means to some people, say the
producers of Lawns. Lundman
related how one man whom she
Spoke to described the
experience.
"As I mow, I love watching
the edge between the cut and
uncut grass — that space
between heaven and hell. I get
such satisfaction out of that."
Back Alley Film Productions
began research for "Lawns" in
June 1992 and continued over
the next four months. During
that time, more than 150
people were interviewed.
The producers also spoke to
neighbors of some of the "lawn"
people. While some neighbors
filed complaints to police about
uncut grass, others felt
encouraged to take greater
interest in their own lawns,
Landman said.
"Lawns" is scheduled to be
released in late January next
year on CBC television.
Shooting will take place across
Canada, the United States and
possibly in England as well. The
cost of production is
approximately $500,000.
Back Alley Film Productions
was established in early 1988.
The company's most recent film
was Talk 16 — an award-
winning feature-length
Trade board criticizes budget
Federal finance minister Don
Mazankowsla s stand -pat budget,
complete with no new taxes,
modest spending cuts and a
whoppirg deficit, has not found
favor with the Ajax -Pickering
Board of Trade.
Opposition critics in Ottawa
criticized the federal budget —
which will see the deficit remain
at more than $32 billion —
calling it a "do-nothing" budget
because it provides no help for
Jobless.
The tical board of trade also
voiced its disapproval yesterday,
saying in a press release that
there's "very little in the way of
proactive measures."
"Independent business carries
the brunt of the task of bridging
about economic recovery," the
release said "k is disappointing
to see very little of substance to
assist our members in bringing
about the much sought after and
much needed economic
renewal.'
Despite the perceived
shortcomings of Mazankowski's
budget, the board of trade
admitted it is somewhat
encaaaged by the government's
refusal to increase spending.
documentary about five
teenaged girls growing up in the
Metro Toronto area.
Talk 16 was distributed
throughout Canada and
Australia.
Another project in the works
is a follow-up to Talk 16 which
will be called Talk 19. It is
expected to be completed by
June.

French -language teachers
close to labor deal
They haven't agreed on
everything but the Durham
Region Roman Catholic
Separate School Board and 18
French -language teachers aren't
that far apart on a labor deal,
says a report from a provincial
fact finder.
The separate school board is
negotiating a new contract with
the teachers, all employed by
Ecole Secondaire Charles -
Garnier acid represented by La
section locale de ]'Association
des Enseignants et des
Enseignants Franco-Ontariens
(AEFO Secondaire).
Charies-Garnier, located in
Whitby, is Durham Region's
only French -language secondary
sc:ooi.
Rober. Lyn &., .-w ;ac- -tuber
appointed by the Education
Relations Commission in
February, said in his report that
despite a slow-moving
bargaining process the two
sides "seem to enjoy a
harmonious relationship."
Lynch added that he doubts
it would be necessary to appoint
a mediator to reach a
settlement.
The only issue the two sides
are far apart on is teachers
salaries. AEFO Secondaire is
asking for a three per cent
increase while the board has
offered 0.6 per cent.
The board mL, hold the line
on salary increases because of
economic realities — specifically'
reduced transfer payments from
the province, Lynch said.
150 -year-old home will be demolished
By Glenn Hendry
The Bryant House is history.
Ajax's executive and
development committee
Thursday put an end to the long-
running saga of the 150 -year-old
house with conditional approval
of a demolition permit.
In the next couple of weeks,
the house will come down to
make way for progress in the
form of a future Markborough
shopping centre.
Markborough had asked for
the demolition permit at the
request of the shopping centre's
biggest tenant Costco, who
demanded the house be
removed. Markborough, to
appease the Local Architectural
Conservation Advisory
Committee ('IACAC), hired an
independent architectural expert
to determine its historical value.
Phil Goldsmith, a member of
the Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario (ACO), said the
structure was in poor condition
and not worth saving.
But LACAC disputed
Goldsmith's report. After a
special executive and
development committee meeting
April 19, they were given three
days to come up with their own
report.
LACAC hired Howard
Chapman, who like Goldsmith,
is a member of the ACO. After
visiting the site last Tuesday he
produced a glowing report on
the heritage value of the house.
Chapman said the house is a
"classic example of a small rural
Wilding, constructed in the best
tradition" of early settlers.
But the report wasn't enough
to save the house, with only two
councillors, Frank Schaper
(Ward 1) and Steve Parish (Ward
3) speaking in favor of
preservation.
Ajax Mayor Jim Witty and
Ward 4 Councillor Jim
McMaster had both stated at the
previous committee meeting
they wouldri t change their mind
even if Chapman's report
supported preserving the house.
Tongue-in-cheek, McMaster
said that the report would have
to say "God slept there" for him
to change his vote. That
brought a response from a
LACAC supporter, who entered
the committee room before the
meeting to leave a sign that said
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph slept
there."
Parish, while pleading for the
preservation of artifacts from the
town's past, admitted
"sometimes the past has to give
way to the future."
He argued it was premature
to issue a demolition permit,
noting Markborough shouldn't
be in such a hurry.
Markborough's vice-president
Mark Reeve responded by
saying his company was falling
behind on its planned work
schedule and had an obligation
to Costco to have the site
prepared by the end of June.
Regional Councillor Susan
Dulny noted that the town
should be sensitive to its
heritage, but still competitive in
the marketplace. She called it
irresponsible to delay the Costco
project — which will bring in
250 jobs — any longer than
necessary.
Reeve told the committee that
Costco had "worked into" a
contract with Markborough that
the house "unequivocally" had to
go-

Development will include part of community park
By Dan McLean
The preliminary stage of a
plan to build 28 "quattroplex"
home units utilizing 0.5 hectares
(1.2 acres) of existing parkland
was approved by Pickering's
executive committee Monday
night.
However, the proposal could
face stiff opposition by area
residents when it comes before
town council for ratification next
Monday. Executive committee
approved in principle a zoning
bylaw amendment to permit
construction of the
development.
Altona West Developments
has proposed a 28 -unit
quattroplex infill project in an
area around Westcreek and
Valleyview Drives. Part of the
plan includes a request by the
developer for approximately 0.5
hectares of an existing 2 -hectare
park.
In exchange, the developer
agrees to build quattroplex units
— a housing form deemed a
preferred choice by neighboring
residents — instead of
townhouses. Altona West also
agrees to provide additional
parkland (in the form of
parkland credits which it has
Volunteer honored
William Phillips of the Royal
Canadian Legion in Ajax is one
of 185 volunteers who will be
honored by the province's
citizenship and tourism ministries
tomorrow.
Phillips will be recognized at
the Festival of Stars awards
ceremony in Oshawa. He will be
among those receiving volunteer
service awards that among other
things, recognize five, 10 and 15
years of community service. The
ceremony will also honor
volunteers 18 years or younger
who have provided service for at
�n�
least two years.
Phillips is the chairman of the
bingo, Nevada and euchre
committee of the Ajax legion.
His efforts have helped to raise
approximately a half -million
dollars which has been donated
to the Town of Ajax, Region of
Durham and Province of
Ontaro.
According to Elaine Ziemba,
the province's citizenship
minister, the volunteer awards
are an opportunity to recognize
those who faithfully serve the

money owed for the building of
a stormwater retention pond in
the community.
Two residents who attended
Monday's meeting spoke out
against the idea of giving up
community parkland to
developers.
Terry Nuspl argued that the
town would be setting a
precedent by its actions. The
park had been identified in
community plans when residents
who live in the area purchased
their properties and should
remain in its entirety, she said.
"It was sold as a bill of good,"
Nuspl told committee. "Until a
development agreement is
finalized is everything up for

Resident Faye Waugh said she
was concerned that residents in
the area were not aware of the
matter being dealt with by
council this night. She reasoned
that had the community been
made aware they would not
agree to trading off parkland.
This is the only parkland in
that vicinity," Waugh said. "I
don't think it's right. We are
trading off a community piece of
parkland to a developer."

They have, in fact, worked
extremely hard with the

"Let's try and show a little bit

they will not.

"We were concerned if (the

f you're looking for
quality car care at
<<bargain prices, vour first
stop should be Sure Stop.
Sure Stop Tire and Auto Service
is Durham Region's newest player
in the car care game and they've
decided to enter it with a splash,
with guaranteed services and
prices guaranteed to please.
Sure Stop, located at 599
Kingston Rd. W. in Ajax just east
of Church Street, just opened its
doors March 5 after eight years in
;Markham. The independent
service centre was previously a
franchise operation known as
Markham Service Centre.
"We decided it was better for the
customer and ourselves if we
struck out on our own," said Sure
Stop office manager Debra Read.
The family-owned business offers a
wide range of services. Read said,
without specializing in any one
particular service.
"It's hard to specialize when you
do a little bit of everything." she
explained. "You name it, we do it."
They do offer service on propane
Sure Stop comes to Ajax
cars and trucks, one of the few
service centres in the area
qualified to do so. Dan
Perivolaris, Sure Stop's general
manager, holds the required
license to work on propane
vehicles.
Read said the business' customer
base is already improving through
advertising and especially referrals
in their brief time in Ajax.
"It's just a matter of getting
people out there to know we exist,"
she said.
,Nios_t of the attention directed at
Sure Stop since its opening has
been their prices. Known as "the
home of the 512.95 oil, lube and
filter." the centre's fees are perhaps
the lowest in town.
Other than the oil, lube and
filter special, Sure Stop has a
brake special and low prices on
spring tune-ups.
Rear brake work is $59.95 and
front brakes are 589.95 with a
lifetime warranty on the pads. The
spring tune-up special is 5.19.95 (4 -
cylinder). $59.95 (6 -cylinder) and
$.9.95 (8 -cylinder).
S ure Stop also sella tire-. with
specials on Triumph radial,
starting at 542.93, and batteries,
with Interstate's starting at $49.95.

as people, and now is the time to
get your vehicle serviced. It will be
a lot cheaper to pay now than it
will be to pay later, she added.
"It's important to keep your car

something happens. It's a lot
cheaper to do the maintenance

Kenyan orphans beckon family of Christian missionaries
• From Page 1
program for Third World
children. A small group of
youngsters who currently live in
a mud -floor school house are the
immediate targeted group.
Utilizing money raised from
sponsors, the Bakers will help
distribute food, medicine and
clothing. They hope to
eventually help build a
community orphanage that will
reach out to even more children.
John and Susan admit they
could be spending the rest of
their fives helping these Third
World orphans gain a fighting
chance towards a better life.
The family recently severed
most of its material world ties.
Earlier this year ley sold the 5,
bedroom house in Bay Ridges
that has been the family home
for the past 16 years.
They now live in a 2 -bedroom
apartment on Valley Farm Road.
Most of their personal
belongings have either been
discarded or placed in storage as
they prepare to embark for
Africa in late August. Only the
essential things in life will make
the trip.
To most, such a selfless
venture would seem a huge
sacrifice to make. The Bakers
insist the price is paltry when
you consider what's at stake.
"We feel that it is an
important thing to do," John
said. "I've been asked, 'Don't
you tee::ike you're 'Deat:::g a
dead ::orse'' I- s
It yb',� ca".'
what you can."
"Here (in Canada) even the
worst of the worst have no idea
how well off they are," he
added. "Children (in Africa) are
Just as important as ours. We've
got to do something."
The cost of this invaluable
work is meagre — by North
American standards. Sponsors
finance the effort through
regular $20 a month donations.
"You wouldn't believe what
$20 a month can do for a child
over there," John said. "For
less than the cost of a pair of
running shoes you can put a 1dd
through school."
The key aim of the program
is to help others help
themse:ves. M:ss:onar:es
or7.'.2 'or ec e ^.eek-
programs — give people the
opportunity to change their own
lives, John said.
"We work within their
standards. You can really do
damage by doing what you think
is good by our standards."
The Bakers' decision to take
up missionary work was
nurtured by practical experience.
In 1989, as part of a group from
Pickering's Bayfair Baptist
church, the Bakers spent a week
in Jamaica witnessing the work
of missionaries first hand.
"It was one of the most
enjoyable weeks in my life,"
John recalled. The family
returned in February 1990 —
helping to renovate a Jamaican
orphanage. John and then 12 -
year -old son Greg went back
once again in July. The pair

spent time with youngsters in
the orphanage — primarily
interacting and playing with
children.
The family had intended to
return again for a couple of
months in August 1991 but
traveled to Nairobi instead, filling
in for a pair of missionaries who
returned to Canada for a
furlough.
"It seemed like a golden
opportunity to see what was
going on," John said. The
family returned home in
February 1992.
These experiences convinced
John and Susan that this
meaningful work was their true
calling in life. The time had
come for the Bakers to break
the bonds of conventional life in
North America.
I just reached a point in life
where it seemed everything was
all very nice but it didn't mean
too much," John said. "We
know that you can't take this on
without expecting a fair amount
of adversity. But I would have
just as much apprehension,
staying here," he added. -We
couldn't think of any good
reason why we shouldn't go."
Susan agreed. "I don't think
you ever are absolutely sure."

Lou -cost rabies clinics
in Ajax and Pickering
Pet owners take note.
The South Durham Region Veterinary
Association will provide a series of low-
cost rabies vaccination clinics in Ajax
and Pickering next month.

Tuesday May 18 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The Ajax Community Centre (old arena
floor) will host another on Thursday May

reduce the incidence of rabies and
eventually eliminate it altogether.
Vaccinations will be given to any

months old. Animals must be under
proper restraint and people are asked to
bring exact payment.
These clinics will be supervised by
veterinarians and staff from animal
hospitals located throughout south

Pickering to New York
bridge builder nominated
for inventor award
A former airline pilot who
proposes building a roadway
bridge spanning Lake Ontario
from Pickering to New York
state is one of 88 people
nominated for a $100,000
first prize inventors award.
Gunnar Tannis, the 62 -
year -old promoter of a
scheme to build the world's
largest bridge, is among 28
Ontario residents nominated
for the Ernest C. Manning
Awards for 1993.
The Ernest C. Manning
Awards Foundation is a
national privately -funded
organization that promotes
the recognition and
encouragement of Canadian
innovators in all disciplines.
Prizes include a $100,000
principal award, $25,000
award of distinction and two
$5,000 innovation awards.
Nominations for the 1993
awards are currently being
evaluated by the awards
foundation's selection
committee. Winners will be
announced Sept. 22 at a
ceremony in Montreal.
The Bay News was among
the first newspapers to
publish details of Tannis'
proposal for the Utopia
Causeway on Jan. 23, 1991.
The causeway is a 58 -km (36 -
mile) eight -lane highway'
bridge across the great lake.
In the 1991 Bay News story,
Tannis estimated the
causeway could be built at a
cost of $4 billion over a
period of three years, utilizing
current technology.
The bridge would be a
pontoon design — similar to
oil drilling platforms.
Submerged stabilizer
pontoons supporting the
bridge structure would be
anchored to the lake bottom.
The project would be pre -
assembled in 100 -metre
sections, then lowered in
place.
It would link five land-based
points — the Canadian and
American shores and three
small Lake Ontario islands.
The bridge design would also
allow for a skytrain which
would travel above
automobile traffic and a
bicycle pathway.

MTRCA approve Altona forest purchase
By Dan McLean
The Metropolitan and Region
Conservation Authority
WRCA) last week approved as
a project acquiring 57 hectares
of Pickering's Altona forest — at
a cost of approximately $13.8
million.
The announcement was made
by Pickering Regional Councillor
Kip Van Kempen on April 23
after a full conservation board
meeting that day. The MTRCA
has targeted 57 Altona forest
hectares for acquisition — land
currently owned by developers
Bramalea and Landford Group.
The province's natural
resources ministry will pay the
bulk of the total purchase cost
— $10 million. Van Kempen
said the MTRCA would "make
every effort possible" to raise the
rest. However, he reasoned that
the Town of Pickering and
Durham Region would likely be
targeted as additional money
sources.
"1 think it's probably
reasonable that the town
certairily contribute something,"
he told The Bay News,
explaining no dollar amounts
have been discussed at this
point. "We tried to stay out of
that (during last weeks MTRCA
meeting). You can imagine the
spot fm in."
Van Kempen said he won't
raise the additional cost issue in
Pickering council until he learns
more details about the provincial
aspect of the Altona forest
purchase.
While the provincial money
isn't contingent on the extra
$3.8 million being raised, $10
million won't be enough to buy
all of the Ahona forest property
currently targeted for public
acquisition.
The next stage of the process
to obtain the 57 hectares of
Altona forest will be an actual
deal struck between the province
and developers who own the
land.
"My understanding is they
have a deal they can execute,"
Van Kempen said However, he
could not offer more specifics.
In addition to completing all
financial details, it must also be
determined how the Altona
forest property — once acquired
— will be developed and
managed.
Van Kempen said the Ahona
forest purchase project received
strong support from the
MTRCA board. "It wasn't
unanimous but it was pretty darn
close," he said.
However, the Pickering
councillor was particularly
perturbed by the lack of support
from Scarborough Mayor Joyce
Trimmer — calling her
dissenting vote on the project
hypocritical. Trimmer's
municipality has received a great
deal of provincial money to
protect the Rouge Valley, Van
Kempen said.
