Airport land sale temporarily grounded By Dan McLean Pickering council's official opposition to the selling of surplus federally -owned airport lands has been grounded for the time being. fluxing a meeting May 17, council voted for a 2 -week deferral of a derision on a motion that would have officially opposed the sale of approximately 2,064 hectares (5,100 acres) of airport land in North Pickering. That is at least until the federal government decides whether there will be an airport. Council's decision was prompted by new information provided by local Ontario Riding MP Rene Soetens who spoke as a delegation Monday right. Soetens admitted he was surprised by the recently stated opposition to the sale. "In 1987 the (surplus land sale) intention was announced ven• publically," Soetens told council, adding he hadn't personally heard any objections since that time. Soetens said he supports the idea of turning the federally -owned portion of lands back into private hands since the town cannot dictate land use of the property until then. The MP predicted the sell-off could begin by late this year or early next year. The federal government is looking to retain the current zoned uses for the property and isn't simply trying to sell to the highest bidder, Soetens said. Those who owned the properties before they were expropriated by the federal government and current tenants should have first priority for purchasing the surplus airport lands, Soetens said. However, he admitted the federal government has yet to declare this officially. A number of facts regarding a future Pickering airport were also brought forward. Soetens said that it would be at least 20 years — 9 ever — before the federal government decides to build a Pickering airport. "If there is a need for an additional international airport it will certainly be beyond 2010," he predicted. He added that even with the sale of airport lands declared stapks, the federal government will retain property that is three times the size of Pearson International Airport — more than enough for a future airport. Soetens said the airport property retained would be kept strictly for the use of a fuhze airport. "I cant thunk of any reason why the federal government would want to develop those lands outside of airport use," he said. Regarding concerns by Pickering councd that the surplus lands north of HiigMvay 7 between Seaton and non-stapltts federal lands not be sold until after the hteft Waste Authority's decision on site EE4, Soetens offered some reassttrartee. "The federal government will not make any lands available in Continued an Page 5 UNDAEdIRLYING 113"k-ATPIAS®NS • BRAS • UNGERIE • SLEEPWEAR • HOSIERY • ONTARIO'S ONLY CUSTOM BRA FrMNG + ALTERATION.

Duncan Read, an Ajax public suits the school board. Council on May 3 approved the ward realignment, dropping Airport land From Page 1 Pickering for the use of a landfill site." The government hasn't placed a price tag on the property it intends to sell. Soetens admitted the value of the surplus airport land isri t high — given the current economic conditions. "Certainly we're not talking about big dollars," he said. A number of North Pickering residents, including the owner of a large dairy farm operation located beside the surplus airport lands, have expressed an interest in purchasing the excess property, Soetens said. He added that Pickering council should support 'he sale since the town could then dictate how the land could be used — something it cannot do now. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs agreed the 2 -week deferral was prudent since there are still many unanswered questions. It will also provide an opportunity for those who have a different perspective on the issue to express their views, he said. Park. Council has to have the plan at the OMB by June 30. The realignment scheme is expected to be in place in time for the 1994 municipal elections. Ajax residents elect three public school board trustees, but because of the ward population inequities, the school board has been able to find equal representation, using the town's present five -ward system. Under a 4 -ward equal population ward system, Read said the school board will have difficulty determining equal representation for trustees. Read asked council to reject the approved realignment scheme, saying the school board wasn't given due consideration. Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish agreed with Read saying "when you say we didn't think of IMBLEW000 "Mamcom & FA V111 W4# At �Kl�j �i ca n F�ftljotm, 411001PS010404W WIN ETP 770 Chris �= Viscount, Sol" *Have one of our Sales Representatives in your area C:e Vgive yon an In-home estimate by May 30, on central air to our conditioning to be eligible to win a Lennox model Air Conditioning & 'OAC Central Air Conditioner installed absolutely Heating Seminar at the PRBB in your home.

She also responded to the suggestion that the realignment will save money. Emerson noted that democratic procedure should always take precedent over "the bottom line." ARE YOU FRUSTRATED?

A week after approving a plan to eliminate overtime for snow removal along residential streets with less than two-ar.d-a-half inches of cover, local politicians rejected the same plan during a meeting Monday. night. The move was expected to save taxpayers approximateiy $123,000 a year. In a 3-3 tie vote that defeated the recommendation, the scheme was resected by local councillor Enrico Pistritto, and regional counci::ors Rick Johnson and Maurice Brenner. Concerns were again rased by counr.ilor Pistri''o that the proposal could create safety hazards for residents by leaving residential streets snow covered. "I think we can achieve the savings in money in other ways," he told council, explaining time off in lieu of overtime work done by snow removal staff mg`! be one alternative option. However, Van Kempen was among those who argued vehement in favor of approving the cost-cutting scheme. The Ward 2 regional councillor reiterated comments made by works director Steve Vokes during executive comimi-ee :ast week that staff would continlue to work overtime during major snow storms or when road conditions are deemed danger o::s "The only change is on side - streets where accumulation is less than two -and -a -half inches," Van Kempen said. "It's not a fair comment to say we're leaving our roads in dangerous conditions." He lashed out at those, who during budget deliberations earlier this year, appealed for stream:ining and directed town staff to trim costs where they could. '*Council has to accept some of these cuts." he said. "Theres no magic. It's responsible for us to support those cuts." Two inches of snowiall doesn't represent a hazard since most cars today use front -wheel drive and all -season radial tires — makng them saver to drive it the winter. Van Kempen reasoned.

James House is the idea of Oshawa's Bob Pigden, who didn't want the death of a friend to be in vain. All that stands in the way of Pigden's dream is community support and perhaps as much as $100,000. "James House will only become a reality if the people of Durham Region want it to," Pigden told The Bay News. The concept of the hospice — a facility for treating AIDS patients during various stages of the disease — carne to Pigden in Marc`!, while he was still trying to come to terms with his friend Jim Mussers death. Mussel, a hospital x-ray technician, lost his battle with AIDS last June. "It was Nine months of denial of my friend being dead and then. boor:,' : hit me,- Pigden. recalled. "1 guess I put the question to him, 1 -ley Jim wna* ars I going to dol 1' was just a feeling that he would want me to do something hands-on that could be: e^t AIDS patients." What Pigden decided on was a hospice funded by the communi'y and James House Du:r::am was born. A working gro::p has already held one meeting. A second is planned, with the hopes of establishing a steering committee and board of directors. Fundraising, publicity and a need -assessment are the main concerns for the fledgling organization., Rgden said. He hopes to have the hospice running in a year but admits the track record of other community -funded hospices, such as John Gordon House in London, dictate a likely two or 3 -year wait. Pigden predicted government funding probably isn't forthcoming, especially in light of recent cutbacks. Only Casey House in Toronto, the first AIDS hospice in Canada, receives federal funding. The first fundraising offer was made by Toronto's "gay community." Trax, a bar in Toronto, will hold a fundraiser on June 1 to raise money for James House. Pigden emphasized he isn't simply focussing on the gay communities in Toronto or Durham for needed money. He wants, and needs, support from everyone in Durham Region. "I definitely don't want to target the gay community. It just happened that they were 'he first to offer (financial) he'lp.- he said. "I'd like to ,...n� community in Durham will help us. We need their help and I can't do it alone." Pigden has been in contact with several area politicians, although he hasn't spoken to town councils in Ajax or Pickering yet. A future site for the hospice hasn't been determined. According to the regional health department, there is a need for an AIDS hospice in Durham. February 1993 figures show 39 AIDS cases and 136 cases of HIV-positive have been reported in the region. The figures are only reported cases and many people with the disease go to Toronto for treatment. The actual total number of people with the disease `-: Dur: am :- .:rti.owr: a �Jp .1 ` ss.

Pickc--?w Ontario UW3E6 � 1 , Grant reductions don't add up To someone who's less than a financial wizard, the province's unconditional grant reductions to municipalities just don't add up the way Ontario's municipal affairs ministry would have you believe. Look at what's expected to be the local impact. The province will slice approximately S2.5 million from more than $19.1 million it gives to Durham Region. That translates to a nearly 13 per cent reduction. "ot to worry, says Municipal Affairs Minister Ed Philip. "We don't expect any municipality to have to increase taxes as a result of this reduction," he said in a press release last week. Really? That's certainly not what local politicians and municipal administrators are saying — and rightly so. Two and a half million dollars is a significant shortfall to make up in any budget. Minister Philip predicts no municipality will have to raise taxes by more than three per cent -- an average per household increase of $15 a year. It doesn't take an accountant to figure something doesn't add up here. Let's assume the minister's estimate is correct. Does it also take into account the grant reductions to local municipalities? Ajax, for instance, loses $111,000 from its $857,000 total while Pickering is minus $146,000 from approximately $1.1 million. How much provincial money do school boards stand to lose? Remember, the school board share of taxes represents more than one-half of the total property tax bite. Consider also that the proviaa's uncoodtional grant cuts are so short-term solution. These reductions are removed from the grant base for at least the next three years. Municipal oondiooal grants Steell as those for new road construction are also being slashed by a whopping $80 million province -aide. How might that affect Durham Region — a municipality in desperate need of carious road recaostruc ion in a wimber of locations? We haven't eves discussed the impact of the province's proposed 'social antract' initiative — an attempt to pare down the puW sector. Hoa :and where will shortfalls be made up here? It's ifi icult if not impossible to imagine how .all of this will amount to a mere $15 per household. What's needed its a dearer cost picture. Where and how are these significant money shortfalls going to be made up. Right now, it's all adding up to yet another costly round of tax hikes. PIAPPY l UC L 1 HER: Two -year-olds Jake Reicher (left) and Bianca Diquattro hang out by the pool at a fundraiser held at LOEB Glendale market in Pickering on Sunday. Proceeds go to the Children's Miracle Wish Network. Restructure government Dear editor: Perhaps the motto on Ontario license plates should be changed to Yours To Flee. After all, a recent Environics poll of 1,006 Ontanans revealed that a shocking 41 per cent of them would seriously consider moving out of the province if they could afford it. What's more, 50 per cent of Metro Toronto residents and 54 per cent of those aged 25 to 34 said the same. Even 37 per cent of New Democrat supporters said they would leave if they could. Why do so many seem to have a sense of hopelessness about their future in this province, once a province of opportunity? The poll also showed that 76 per cent of Ontarians believe the provincial debt is growing so quickly that it will soon reach a crisis proportion and another six per cent say were already there. Ontarians place the blame for this dismal situation squarely on the shoulders of Premier Bob Rae and the NDP. In fact, only three per cent of Ontarians had a lot of confidence in Premier Rae's ability to manage the province's finances. On the positive side, 61 per cent of Ontarians supported the widespread privatization of government assets and — Letters services. tven more encouraging, 67 per cent of union members and 54 per cent of NDP supporters backed widespread privatization. These Environics poll results were responses to questions commissioned by Ontarians for Responsible Government. The Premier should heed the views of Ontarians. Abandon his destructive policies and adopt the right ones to get Principled people Dear editor: The following is a letter sent to Durham -West MPP Jim Wiseman: Dear Jim: As a teacher, I've seen plenty of disjunction between the stated aims and practices of administrators, boards, the ministry. So have you. But I don't think I have seen anything quite as shocking as your government's complete abandonment of regard for the principles of social democracy — collective bargaining, fair taxation, concern for the working people before the capitalists, a democratic party structure, our province back on track. Merely cutting some public service jobs and spending a little less on them is nothing more than a Band-Aid solution. Premier Rae needs to fundamentally restructure government. If he isn't prepared to do so, he should resign and let someone else do the job. Colin Brown, President Ontarians for Responsible Government stick by principles respect for unions, etc. It must be extremely difficult for you to go on thinking of yourself as a social democrat while you remain silent about this abomination that (Premier) Rae cynically calls a "social contract." The principled man sticks by his principles in good times and bad. It's horribly clear that Bob Rae, the leader of a party I have supported all my working life, is not such a man. Are you? 1'd Ww to hear from you on this. And pie, no campaign hterature. Brian Clow, ,Fairport Road, Pickering meters wellimme The Say News welcomes Letters to the Editor.

Pch year heartworm teatens nearly 50 million dogs North America with death or wmanent disability, according i iktiformation from Interceptor, beartworm disease medication Prge numbers of adult ortwtorms — which can be 35 i long — restrict blood flow to e lungs, kidneys and liver. is stresses the heart and can ttse organ failure. In acute [ections, symptoms appear Idenly and death may occur in f to 72 hours. .'If untreated the length of pe before death depends on k number of worms in the s heart," Dr. Liddell told Bay News. "And it also ends on the sex of the rms. Female worms are her than male worms. The are thread -tike and small." The disease usually has no Bible symptoms until its vanced - Dogs gay ;e weight, stamina and velop a cough that worsens th exercise. Breathing may some painful or difffiailt. "We (the animal hospital) :ommend that dogs are tested heartworm disease as soon Possible. But keeping dogs loors is not necessary," said imis Norminton of the Ajax iimal Hospital. "At the spital we promote prevertion stead of treatment." Prevention with an effective artworm product is preferable to treatment after the disease is developed. Because there are so few outward signs, many times the disease goes undetected. Prevention medications are available and given in dosage according to the weight of the animal. Heartworms can be detected with a test to identify microfilariae in the blood. Infected dogs must be hospitalized for treatment. A potent drug is injected intravenously to kill the heartworms. As the worms die they fragment into the lungs where they are eventually broken down. The dog must be confined and watched closely for several weeks because if worms break up too quickly the lungs may become severely congested. After the adults are eliminated, a second drug is given to kill the microfilariae. To have your dog tested or treated, or for more information, contact the Ajax Animal Hospital at 683-6430, or any local animal hospital.

Onkdo LIN SA3 Telephone: (416) 606-7721 Mr. V�a�� erg ema Durham Region Chairman ry Herrema has been handed he difficult task of trying to erail cost-cutting measures nnounced by GO Transit earlier his month. During a region council eeting May 12, Herrema was directed to take a strong stand on behalf of region politicians against an announced approximately $7 million cut by the province to GO Transit. The regional chairman is among those who sit on GO Transit's board of directors. Herrema will also voice his and the region's opposition to proposed cutbacks to train service to Pickering, Ajax and denounce Whitby during non -peak hours. The measures are expected to be effective July 3. A GO Transit board of directors meeting took place last Friday. Most regional councillors agreed the cost-cutting measures will have a devastating impact. "Our 'Achilles heel' (in Durham Region) is our lack of a transportation link to Metropolitan Toronto," Oshawa councillor John Aker told council. "We have substandard (GO Transit) service to begin with. We have to have full service." Ajax Mayor Jim Witty said he has received more telephone calls in one day from local residents worried about reduced GO service levels than over a much longer period on other issues involving more drastic cost-cutting measures. "People are really concerned about this," he said. "This is hitting everybody." Other politicians reasoned GO Transit service is a key to attracting and retaining Industry and residents in Durham Region. It also provides a vital outflow for congested traffic along Highway 401. Herrema vowed to relate council's concerns to other GO Transit representatives. "Th:s resolution certainty gives re very clear ^str�Cions." 1 y - "Discover La Terrazza � rrALIAN CC,ISI:�I; � .,f .i graIJ Ino rs1' leased to announce the �' � Ojk,ni ng ()]* their outdoor path% _ (weather perm ittirt,)) 44: ;i AI Specialties of the House _{ �c — PASTA — %T—Al — CHICKE\ SEAFOOD — 4i Fly':; ?ui' L14L". {UI'UI a:11:0Jp/JC7L' a!:.::L. u�'.::::(�a� IW"OIi chid dinner menus that S ra inn c w:tome aluj(lis en nt LIVE F.\ rFRTAItib1Eti r: from t) 31-; pm Friday & Saairday Cali for reservations. - 21 Crlina .St., O;haK•j 723--4 l—() "PIN N ' . ..:. 11-40 J.m. - Cl-.

Jay Jones likes to remember this phrase, spoken to him so often by his first music teacher. It's one he has since repeated often to the many music students he himself has taught. A credo only the gifted can readily understand, the words speak of the importance of years of practice and determination to excel. In Jays case, it meant achieving the impossible: making a living, making music. Born in Toronto, the soft-spoken, guitar - playing owner of the Durham School of Music moved with his family to a house in Highland Creek on property now home to the Metro Zoo. He was five. Jay's first school was Hillside, a 3 - room school which still sits just across the road, overlooking the zoo. As a teenager, he attended West Hill Collegiate. It was there he found his direction when he met "the most amazing music instructor." He was hooked. For the next five years, he studied music — drums, tymps, vibes, etc., and gradually developed an interest in guitar. "In those days, they would let us use the auditorium to rehearse when it wasn't in use," he says. "So that's what I did with my time, instead of just hanging out." The hours of rehearsal paid off. "Being as brazen and as dumb as I could be, I asked who was the best guitar teacher in the city," he laughs. Following a tough audition, he was accepted by Hank Lonis, a man "Being as as dumb as I asked wt best guitar the city" who to this day remains a good friend and customer. Jay studied with Lonis for 13 years, even while teaching guitar to others at Musonic in West Hill and later at Mario s Music Media in Pickering Village. He was also learning about the music business. Having come to the realization music seldom pays well, Jay decided to return to school. Taking business courses at brazen and I could be, eo was the teacher in Jay Jones Seneca during the day, teaching in the evenings and performing in bars from 9 at night to 1 a.m., Jay completed a 2 -year diploma course. "It was awful," he laughs. "I never slept or ate. But I was young, 1 guess, so I could do it." When Mario decided to sell his business, no one was more disappointed than Jay. Music Media ended up folding in 1988. The staff members, realizing their careers were in jeopardy, held a meeting. They agreed to support Jay in a bid to open up a new school. Knowing the newly - renovated Gordon House was empty, and armed with his business diploma, Jay set out to find funds. His gamble paid off. In less than eight weeks, he managed to convert the upstairs into a rabbit warren of tiny, reasonably soundproof studios; the main floor became the popular music store it is today. "If you have a focus and you have the right project, somehow it just seems to come together," Jay says. This year, almost 500 students were enrolled in studies with the school's 35 music teachers — nine of whom were part of the original group. And many students will continue their lessons right through the summer as the school begins its sign-ups for summer studies. After years of making his living at it, Jay Jones still loves making music. "I'm starting to itch," he says with a chuckle, looking forward to finally finding some time to devote to working in a recording studio. "It's just as my teacher always told me," he says. "First you have to be perfect, then you get to be good."

In 1963, Joseph and Vera Binns began Binns Designer Kitchens Inc. of Pickering. Twenty years ago they established a store at 333 Kingston Rd. and later sold it to son Raymond who now works with brother Tony out of the 6,000 sq. ft. location. A new location was recently opened at 51 Main St. in Markham It features seven fully -designed kitchens and of success formula of the 1990s. But I believe it was the formula for the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s too." Binns has always taken great care and pride in assuring customer satisfaction through quality. Whether it's quality products, designs or service—there's no substitute for this company's high standards. The designers at Binns are true professionals. Each holds a Certified Kitchen Designer's Certificate—a national organization that's governed by RAYMOND BWNS: Established Pickering store 20 -years ago. course, the knowlegable, professional and accredited Binns sales staff. While kitchen designs have changed dramatically over the years, Binns approach to customers has remained the same. "We look after our customers,' says company owner Raymond Binns—one of five Binns family members still directly involved in the business." "They say service is the a worldwide body who establish industry standards. Binns' Kingston Road location features 22 beautiful kitchen and bathroom displays ranging in traditional to ultra- modern styles. These let customers see for themselves, the workmanship and product quality. Each display shows individual designs customized with co- ordinated accessories.

Designing a kitchen involves incorporating elements esthetically pleasing yet functional, he added. "If it works properly, you will enjoy it for years. But if you've got a re -designed kitchen that looks great but has, say a refrigerator door that hits a counter—over time that can become extremely annoying." Raymond Binns compares this type of bothersome workmanship to owning a new car with a radio that doesn't work properly. The annoyance can severely detract from the overall appeal of the product. So when Binns' workmen install a kitchen, customers are assured the work is done right—to their satisfaction. Raymond Binns guarantees it. "If you satisfy one customer, he might tell a few people about you. But if you treat them badly you can be sure they'll tell 1,000 people." "We've always looked at customers as our best form of advertising," he added. "You have to do the best job you can possibly do at all times." 4 C4 Pickering Prvgress E"en Enhance Your Home & Patio FOUNTAINS! r 011 N I hp, ON L�la41II)IF- TM ■ Assorted Designs ■ Durable Concrete ■ Attractive Colours BIRD BATHS &Xy FOUNTAINS r+ Make Ideal Gifts for that 683-0887r If you want The best rental centre in Pickering and Ajax just got better — and bigger.

The latest in the centre's advancement is a 5,000 sq. ft. glass greenhouse for "dry" displays, such as fertilizer, clay pots and hardware.

New development permits generated almost $125 million in construction value, a figure much higher than had originally been predicted; industrial development accounted for $5 million, commercial development almost $7 million, and institutional/government, approximately $14 million. Residential development was much stronger than had first been anticipated for 1992. The year end totals were $100 million for a count of 600 units. Often overlooked when reporting development figures is the impact of newly leased industrial and commercial space within existing buildings. A sizeable percentage of the new lease rates for Durham Region can be attributed to Pickering. It is important to acknowledge the work of industrial and commercial realtors in this regard. Lymbird Lumber's long planned re -building is 90 per cent completed. This redevelopment takes the old operation from 1,500 to 21,000 sq. ft. for the retail area alone — bringing it in line with the complete home building/improvement centre concept and representing a substantial re -investment in the community by a long standing successful business. Also under construction Torgan's 30,000 sq. ft. new medical/retail complex at Glenanna and Highway 2. To be followed shortly by the CWs bank complex. A $3.5 million addition to the Pickering Recreation Complex is expected to be completed by the fall. The new Durham Region police district 2 headquarters was built at the junction of Brock Road and Highway 2, representing a significant development for Pickering. Pickering welcomes Yorkvii'.e Sound who have constructed its new head office and industrial complex at Highway 401 and Whites Road. C.P. trucks has completed its 100 bay trucking terminal and are fully operational. These two companies alone have added 280 jobs to Pickering's labor pool. Four other companies moved to Pickering in 1992 and thirteen new commercial/retail businesses were officially opened. They include a new Volkswagen dealership, restaurants, medical offices, a funeral home, banks and day- care centres. � i v 11 • 1 i1 7 /1 !1 n Picr>i erbig Progress 1 99.3 Montessori Lea Pi i ng Centre Montessori registration time Back in September 1992, the Montessori Learning Centre in Pickering :roved from 415 Toynevaie Rd. to 401 Kingston Rd.

In fact, it's as close as the Westney Heights Plaza in Ajax. That's where you'll find the Caribbean Oriental Specialty Mart. The store opened in Ajax more than a year ago after enjoying steady success in Scarborough for nine years. "A lot of customers used to travel to Scarborough from Ajax. So we decided we should open another store," recalled owner Kris Mohan who came to Canada from Trinidad. Caribbean Oriental Specialty Mart features such exotic and delightful "island" foods such as mangoes, water coconuts, bananas and guava. There's fresh seafood and meats like goat, rooster and ducks. All are sold in the store. You can even purchase a newspaper from Jamaica, Trinidad or Barbados. Rounding out a full line of products, appealing to West Indian, Chinese and Philippino customers, is a selection of rice and spices, including dried peas. Mohan says his business has enjoyed steady growth since opening last year. "It's one or the best known specialty food shops in Durham Region. There aren't many shops like this one in the region."

East Shore Marina not a well -kept secret anymore East Shore Marina has come a long way from its small-scale beginnings in 1972. Today the marina, at the foot of Liverpool Road in Pickering, Is one of the largest in Ontario with enough berths to accommodate 600 boats up to 60 feet long. East Shore is also constantly being modernized, making it Durham's most progressive manna as well. The usual marina services on site, including hull and motor repair as well as extras such as a full-time yacht broker and a sail repair depot. It also has a hauling service that can take boats weighing up to 30 tonnes. "We built it from scratch," said Harold Hough, the president of Pickering Harbor Company (the parent firm of East Shore Marina) and a co- owner. "It's been growing ever Since." A major boon from the marina has been the phenomenal growth of the salmon fishing industry on Lake Ontario during the past 10 years, Hough added What was once the best -kept fishing secret In the province is now a booming business. And that has been nothing but good news for East Shore Marina. There is now a fleet of approximately 20 charter boats operating out of the marina, which is also an official weigh-in station in the annual Toronto Star Great Salmon Hunt. "It has made a big difference around here," Hough noted. "We get plenty of business here because we have some of the best salmon fishing in Lake Ontario right here in Frenchman's Bay." Several weekly winners in the contest have come through the marina but no grand prize winner, although Hough predicted that this could be the year East Shore Manna is open all year and provides year-round "live -aboard" services to approximately 50 boaters who enjoy 'bubbling' (the water around the boats is aerated so BOATERS.,DO YOU WANT AN AFFORDABLE MARINA THIS SUMMER?

'The optometrist can be thought of as your family eye doctor," says Dr. Mark Fitzsimmons, who along with four other professional associates, operates an eye care clinic in the Pickering ,Medical Centre at highway 2 and Glenanna Road. 'We are the largest optometric firm in Durham Region.' .Dr. Fitzsimmons suggests parents should begin regular eve testing for children by the age of three. It should be an annual visit and parents are also advised that eye examinations are covered by OhIP. 'Even if you don't need glasses the eyes should be tested for health and disease,' Dr. Fitzsimmons advised. This Professional group recently relocated from a clinic at the Pickering Corporate Centre. The move to a new 2,500 sq. ft. location brought much- needed additional space. The clinic offers such services as general and family eye care and all types of glasses and contact lens services. In addition, Dr. Fitzsimmons offers a professional service called perceptual of health care testing, geared to children with vision - related learning disabilities. Problems at school can often be traced to difficulties with vision. This service is designed to diagnose the problem. It too is covered by OHIP. If therapy is required to correct the problem a fee is charged. 'Very few optometrists offer this service,' Dr. Fitzsimmons said. An optometrist can also recommend and prescribe sun -screening eyeglasses. Given the concern about ultra -violet rays from the sun these days optometrist - prescribed sunglasses are virtually a must. The eye care clinic features a state-of- the-art testing equipment including a computer-assisted automated refractor that reads an eye prescription directly from the eyes (verified by the doctor, of course), an automated glaucoma machine, and an automated peripheral field tester. The eye care professionals at the clinic include Dr. Fitzsimmons, Dr. Dean Bennett, Dr. Peter Jost, Dr. Kirk - arayansingh and Dr. Emile Gillezeau. Examinations and tests are made by appointment by calling 839-5303. Clinic hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. Saturday appointments are also available.

This time in Ajax. "Were excited about our new classes for elementary -aged children, ages six to 12," said Eleanor Wilson, Blaisdale's administrator. This is to accommodate our children who are growing older and also for parents who are looking for a better ahemative to their child's current education. We will hold a special open house for parents interested in learning more about Montessori for the child over six." Currently located at 545 Kingston Rd. in Pickering Village, Ajax, classes for elementary age children ages six to 12 will begin in the former church building at that location. A little further east at 403 Kingston Rd. near Rotherglen, a third class will be opened for younger children. Many parents are not aware that there is a Montessori program for children over six years of age. Children are taught individually in the core subjects of Reading, Writing and Mathematics at their own pace using the unique Montessori materials that make learning such a joy. This exahN curriculum starts the 6-y x-& with Prehistory, Science, Botany and Geology, Geography, French and hands on experiments in Chemistry. This is only the beginning. For a copy of the curriculum call 509-5005. The purpose of the program is to give to each child a real understanding of his world and his part in A. The intent is to develop each child's unique abilities, guarantee his self- confidence, and place him on the path to a successful, happy life. Eleanor Wilson, the administrator of Blaisdale, attended McMaster University, the University of Western Ontario, and Toronto Teachers College. She taught Grades 1 to 8 and kindergarten in Canada before moving to London, England, where she became interested in Montessori. "Having two toddlers, like any mother, I wanted the best for my children. I had read a book about Montessori which filled me with enthusiasm. In 1%21 took the Montessori training in London, and now, 31 years later, I am still enthused.' Mn. Wilson opened her first Montessori school in Kuwait where her husband was working. She returned to Canada in 1969 and opened Blaisdale Montessori School in Scarborough, one of the first AW Pondering success Montessori schools in Canada. The school continually looks for ways to improve. VIPs (Very Interested Parents) help enhance the program with special events, visitors and trips. The school sponsors Adlerian courses for an staff members, to ensure a harmonious class atmosphere and the development of self esteem in the children. The Blaisdale Bulletin keeps parents informed of current Blaisdale Montessori School.,. - ESTABLISHED 1969 events and happenings in class and school. At a recent Montessori Administrators' conference in Ottawa, Arnold Skromme, the author of The 7 - Ability Plan, expounded on his idea that traditional education develops only one ability in children — the academic — while 6 others, especially the creative, are largely ignored. He reasons that by testing children at age 9, their natural Pickcesriag abilities can be determined then cultivated and developed thereby ensuring success in a child's future choice of career. Mr. Skromme maintains that the drop out rate is so high because traditional education caters to only 20 per cent of students (the academic ones). It fails to meet the needs of the other 80 per cent. To receive a copy of his book ($15) call 509- 5005. Parents at Blaisdale look forward to the annual year-end school concert. This year one class of children, age two to five, will perform Peter and the Wolf. A visit to Blaisdale Montessori School will leave you impressed.

"All of our paints are discounted all year round," says Pickering store manager Jean Finch. "We never sell anything at full retail." For customers that means a regular 30 to 35 per cent savings off the suggested retail price of Benjamin Moore paints — the only kind of paint the store sells. Discount Paints is an idea that began seven years ago. Both Jean and husband Jim opened their first store in Scarborough's Knob Hill Plaza on Eglinton Avenue between Brimley and Midland. The store attracted people from all over including many from Durham Region. In February 1992, the Finch's opened a second store ;n Pickering — a 2,000 sq. ft. location that stocks virtually every line of Benjamin Moore paint and a lengthy list of paint accessories. "Everything we sell is current," said Jean, who manages the Pickering store while husband Jim manages the Scarborough location. "We deal in paint OV Both share an experienced background in the paint retail business. Jean worked for a large brand-name paint retail store for approximately 15 years while Jim has a strong background in the retail and supply end. That experience has taught this pair a great deal about the paint products they sell — and the value of customer service. "We spend a great deal of time with our customers — gmng advice on colors and color matching," Jean said. Among the in-store services featured is a computerized color matching system that identically matches the paints Discount sells to other brands or even fabric and carpet samples a customer might bring in. "Over 2,000 colors are available," said Jean. "We can match any company's colors." In the past, the staff at Discount Paints have conducted seminars for customers on such topics as full finishes and how to do them. Jean said such educational courses may again be featured in the faR. Discount Paints is open six days a week.

In 1970 he bought a piece of farmland on Dundas St. (Hwy. 2) in Whitby, with the intention of building a tar dealership there. That dealership was Owasco Volkswagen Inc. Much has happened since the dealership began; most important is the :act that it has become a thriving business. Although Mr. Verway did many things right in his business he gives credit to the People who work with him. The dealership's staff and management are convinced that its products are first class and therefore deserve the best service possible. That is exactly what you will get from the well qualified service team at the wlvtby dealership. Besides sales and mechanical service, the bodyshop plays an important role in the Owasco process. In the bodyshop, modern technology linked with old-fashioned workmanship has changed many badly damaged cars, vans and motorhomes of all makes and models into the bestNocking vel -ides on the road. The vehicles become the pride of their owners. Many others agree with him. The awards are there to prove it. One of those awards is the prestigious Ontario Motor League Service Award. Best of all, the customers know and appreciate the kind of service they get. They keep comutg oio and send others. Some grandchildren of the original customers are now coming in. "The customer comes first" This is the slogan that Owasco Volkswagen lives by and the phrase penetrates the entire business. President's Volkswagen Volkswagen I )y dealership because the The home phone number of the salesman land of his cottage as well, if he has one) is on his business card. Senice does not stop when the deal is dosed. Owasco gives a 12 -month guarantee on parts and labor. To dare to give such a guarantee requires a great deal of confidence in one s employees, ane Mr. Verway has that. (In t.`.e service department, Ralph Speeiman, in rental, William Wouwyk and in sales Henry Ziesmart.) Owasco has become one of the biggest Volkswagen dealers in Ontario. Besides OiNASCO selling cars, the firm also rents and leases them. In this rental fleet, there are approximately 180 vehicles. Owasco is also a member of the Home and Park organization. Through international connections, it offers vehicles for rent in many locations: California, British Columbia, Germany, Holland, for example. Many Europeans travel through North America in vehicles supplied by Owasco. ;erman, Dutch and French are spoken by ^e :.:lltilingual staff. The rental fleet motor homes, vans, _ars, buses and campers, are all ate -mode; rehicles. Camping equipment can also be supplied, if needed. Gients can be picked up at the airpor or motel. By, the time Owasco puts them on 1ihe road, they are ready to cess -cross North America. Since Owasco opened for business. Ely Verway has done an excellent Job at the bookkeeping. A generation :nas grown up, and at Owasco Volkswagen, severai you:rger Wmays have found a place. Trtree sons and a coupie of daughters now contribute to the success of the business. That mist be another reason for Owasco's success. They are ail inspired by Mr. Verway's business formulas, whose business philosophy is responsibie for the firms success.

That's when golfers dust off their clubs, flock to these outstanding north Ajax courses and take their first tee shots of the year. It seems the golf season can't arrive soon enough for many. "I think golfing must be recession -proof," said marketing representative George Reed with a chuckle. "Golfers always seem to find a way to get out and play" While Deer Creek and Fawn Brook golf courses have only been around for four years, both have enjoyed a steady growth in popularity. "We're surprised at how well the courses are doing — considering how young they are," Reed admitted. But success should come as no surprise, considering renowned builder Jerry Coughlan's involvement. Coughlan took his past experience of operating Glen Cedars Golf Club since 1969, and applied it to Fawn Brook and Deer Creek. "He took his expertise from there and carried it on over here," said Reed. Familiar faces and the same friendly service will abound this golf season as most of last years hospitable staff return once again to Deer Creek and Fawn Brook. Every year people take the time to comment on and commend the great service staff provide to them, Reed said. Many golf at Deer Creek and Fawn Brook for that very reason. "It goes without saying the courses have to be in great shape but these things help bring people back here as well," Reed said. Fawn Brook and Deer Creek provide golfers with some of the best public and tournament play anywhere. Deer Creek, a premium public facility, is a challenging 6,500 yard par -71 course. While no tournaments are offered on the course, Deer Creek does feature one charity event each year. Fawn Brook, on the other hand, does feature tournament and regular pi play. While at 6,100 yards and par - 72, Fawn Brook is somewhat less challenging, but no less exciting. "It's a little easier to get around and a little cheaper to play," Reed said. "We can handle a tournament of about 75 golfers at Fawn Brook." Starting times at both courses can be booked up to a week in advance although management reserves the right to book up to four players per time. On weekends, the number of golfers should be specified. No locker facilities or club storage are available. The banquet facilities in the beautiful air-conditioned clubhouse feature a stunning oak dining room and private bar. The clubhouse also houses a licensed coffee shop and well- equipped pro shop. Golfing memberships start as low as $700 for seniors. These weekday memberships allow play for those 65 years and older on both courses Monday and Tuesday, and Fawn Brook only Wednesday. Thursday and Friday. Regular weekday golf memberships for a season allow play on both courses from Monday to Friday (except holiday Mondays) for $1,000. Full memberships allow play on both courses anytime for $1,650, Add 7 per. cent GST to all memberships. Daily rates at Deer Creek are $30 on Monday to Thursday, $32 on Friday, $35 on Saturday and Sunday, and $25 after 3 p.m. every day. This year, Deer Creek offers a special membership which includes god playing privileges at Glen Cedars golf chub. Fawn Brook daily rates remain the same as last year. It's $22 to play Monday to Thursday, $25 on Friday, $27 on Saturday and Sunday and $17 after 3 p.m. anyday. All prices include GST. Deer Creek and Fawn Brook Golf Courses are located east of Westney Road off Taunton Road at Buggey Lane. Just follow the signs. Ford Swap provides new car every 2 years Can you imagine what it would be like to own a brand new car every two years — and not ever have to worry about automobile maintenance aph? Wildwood Ford Sales in Pickering can and has honed that sort of dream into a reality with a unique program called Fad Swap. IN a 24 -month deal where the only thing a astomer pays for is the use of the car --pkis aaitartd* inswance. Wildwood Fad General Manager Bill McMaster explains how it worts. Go down to the dealership and pick out the car or truck you want — them pay the first and last month's fee, plus applicable licence and taxes. Then drive away. Bring the car back to the dealership in two years. Then select one of two options. Buy the car outright for a pre -agreed price, or hand back the keys and pick out a new vehicle. "In the meantime, you bring the car in for maintenance according to a schedule set up at the signing of the agreement," McMaster said. "But the big difference is that the bill you get back when �t you pick up the vehicle always stays at 'no charge'.- While harge."While your car is in for service, Wildwood will shuttle you home while its being repaired and pick you up when the work's done. if the vehicle is kept overrrigtrt, Wildwood will loan you a car for the day — free of charge. 'The keys to this program are that you get to drive a new car every two years and you get to drive it free of maintenance costs for that time, - McMaster said "Yau can't get a much better deal than ft! "There are other 2 -year lease programs available out there. But this is a new concept, in that it is a 2 -year maintenance -free lease." Leasing is fast becoming a more and more attractive alternative to owning a car. That's because the arrangement provides a number of attractive options, McMaster said. Lower monthly payments are among the most obvious considerations. Lower payments — and the fact regular R M b6cblaste4 general wryer of Wildwood Ford dealership in Pickering, displays the wide rays of near wIeiss in stock at Kingston Road. maintenance for the vehicle is cost-free for a 2 - year period — make Wild vW Fords unique new program a great deal, McMaster said. Ford Swap is another illustration of Wd&x)od Fords continuing commitment to customer service and satisfaction. It's become a tradition at this Pickering dealership. Wildwood customers have always come to expect the best treatment — especially when it canes to service. "When my mechanic sees that (Wk\uood Fad) sticker on a car, he knows it's from here," McMaster said. "And they know if they don't do the job to a customers satisfaction, then they'll hear from me." The general manager ensures his dealership remains on the leading edge of service. He does this by providing the latest in automobile diagnostic equipment. All staff regularly attend training sessions. "All the mechanics, all the sales staff, all the managers must go to school for at least one day a year," McMaster said. "That is the only way they can stay on top of the rapid changes in the may" C20 -Pickering Progress Edition W.M1. Q • - • WILDWOOD FORD SALES LTD.
