Best year ever By Glenn Hendry Witty told The Bay News that there will be tremendous changes made to the town, Mayor Jit W:y boid'y predicts a banner year for development in Ajax in 1994 — especially downtown in the Kingston Road and Harwood Avenue area. a year that will also be marked by a municipal election. The location is highlighted by the Durham Centre shopping mall.

This Toronto-based band is enjoying a meteoric rise in the avant-garde and wide ranging, alternative music scene. In little more than two short tears, hHead (pronounced head) has toured Canada, made two independent recordings and established themselves as one of the most ;miring new rock bands in the country. :pronto Life magazine called them the best unsigned local music act in city after hHead won the coveted $100,000 New Music Search )..>covery to Disc prize, sponsored by Toronto radio station CFNY. The cash is targeted for the group's next recording, expected to begin production this spring. hf lead was among 600 other lndie (musicians without a recording contract) artists and bands entered in the New Music Search. Winning put there in select company. The Barenaked Ladies, the only other $100,000 thinners, topped last year's Discovery to Disc competition. But despite achievements and accolades, 24 -year-old hHead bassist Canning is clearly the sort who keeps his feet planted firmly on the ground. In fact, he d(xvnplayed the band's recent success. "Nothing's changed," he insisted, during a recent interview. -1 est take it all in stride I guess. Yes, we're in a good position, but you cant go into it with rose-colored glasses." Indeed, four years ago, Canning would probably confess that musical success was the furthest thing from his • mind. He had finished his final year lx at nbarton High School — after four years at Ajax High School — and was entering his first year as a history major at Brock University in St. Catharines.

Initially, the pair played as an acoustic duo — a la Simon and Garfunkel — then began assembling a band. hHead started out as a five -piece ensemble and was eventually pared down to its current three- piece form — Canning, guitarist Mintz and drummer Mark Bartkiw. The name hHead was actually coined by a former member of the group. "Its iust a name," Canning said. with a shrug. "1 think I was away for a weekend and when I came back they told me the name was hHead The name's origin is traced to an early 19SOs punk rock group called Head who once recorded on the infamous Sex Pistol's abei, Canning explained '1k'e added the second 'h' and figured the copyright laws would be nullified - Since then, hHead 1 -as played virtuallv every club in Toronto. This year, the band completed an extensive cross - Canada tour, including two sojourns to Vancouver, stints in Halifax, Quebec and all over Ontario. "This year, from February to now, we've put 00,000 km on the (tour) van," Canning said. hHead has played with the likes of Stone Temple Pilots, Lemonheads. Sloan and Dinosaur Jr. Canning describes the group's style — calling hHead an "Indie guitar rock band." 'We're iust a pop band that's a little louder than some and not as loud as others." he said. Critics have called the trio "grunge rockers" and 1yperf unkers." tk'hile the alternative music scene is alive and well in most of Ontario, the same can't be said for certain areas of Western Canada. Canning admitted the worst date the band has played so far was a three -night stand at a bar in Saskatoon. The first night was a packet: house. "It was dollar -a -beer night and nobody was really interested in the music," Canning recalled. "About 20 people were actually paying attention. We started into Sweet Home Alabama and the dance floor packed." 'We did The Joker by Steve Miller and everyone was just loving it" However, the group moved on to more obscure tunes and the dance floor cleared. The following night hHead played to approximately 20 locals who heckled the trio through most of the performance. 1k'e've played our fair share of crappy shows and it's definitely far from over," Canning said philosophically. "Going out on your basically unknown, is really hard. It does nothing for the self-esteem However, the corner appears to have been turned — thanks, in large part, to the CFNY $100,000 prize. Shortly after the win, the band went out and bought $15.000 worth of nex equipment. Next comes the recording of another album. hHead released a demo tape in 199I called Potato. In 1992, the group recorded a CD called Fireman — for a mere $3,400.

"($3,000) was even more than we anticipated to pay," Canning said, explaining fie fronted the cost from money he earned as a file clerk in a bank. 'We had done the recording for $400, but ended up paying $3,000 for mixing. We thought we could do it all for under $1,000 but it just didn't work out that way." If hHead can come close to matching the success of The Barenaked Ladies, then ;100.000 should go a long way to', ards establishing the trio. The Ladies spent their winnings to record Gordon — the most successful Canadian independent album ever. hHead has enough material for two or three albums, Canning said. They will start recording in February. "I think somewhere warm," he said, smiling. "We're thinking of Memphis — there's a studio down there." A deal with a large recording distributor is certain to follow sometime this year. "Once the album is done it will be on a major label with world wide distribution. It's sort of a no -risk situation for any record company because they're no! investing anything." "Thev're investing time and effort... but definitely not 100,000 out of pocket to give us money to record," he added. "It will be a done deal. The future looks bright." MUSIC MAN: Ajax resident Brendan Canning is a member of hHead, the alternative band that recently won a $100,000 prize.

Thanks for a service promised Sincerely, "5 6 J John Baguley Attracting more business '94 priority for Ajax • From Page 1 tenants. Next on board will be Loblaws Supermarkets which will have a groundbreaking of the 60,000 sq. ft. store in the spring. The predicted opening date is the fall of 1994. The store will initially employ 250 people with a possible expansion planned. Witty said the rest of the mall will begin to take shape next year. Another project linked to Durham Centre may have as much impact to future business fortunes. Reconstruction of new Harwood Avenue — the re- routed street will bend northeast from Highway 2 and reconnect with old Harwood Avenue at Taunton Road — is set to commence next summer. "That will open up hundreds of acres of developable land and I look at that area as drastically changing virtually overnight," Witty said. "When that construction is started I can see all kinds of new business coming Into town.." The mayor also expects development of the John Boddy, proposal for a major residential project in the Riverside Drive area, north of Pickering Village and south of Rossland Road. Hundreds of new homes are slated to be buih. Witty also predicted there will finally be progress in the &fated Verona Mall project, the town's most noticeable eyesore. The partially -constructed failed venture sits on Bayly Street as a shell of steel girders and concrete since it went into receivership more than four years ago. Witty revealed that a group of the original investors (in the mortgage) are trying to get possession of the property to. develop the project. The town may also legally demand a tax sale of the property after January, 1994. "I anticipate that something will finally happen to the Verona Mall," Witty declared. Other highlights for Ajax in 1994 include the release of a hotel feasibility study — a report commissioned to determine jf there is a market for a large hotel in town. Attracting -pore commercial and industrial development to town will be a priority for Ajar next year. The town released the results of a five-year economic dev" pment strategy at the last council meeting. Its chief objective, starting in 1994, will be to reduce the overemphasis on residential taxes on the assessment roll. Currently 81 per cent of Ajax's assessment comes from residential — the highest rate in the Greater Toronto Area. Council wants to see that reduced to 65 per cent. A larger commercial/lindustrial tax base will help change the town's image from a sleepy bedroom community to a local business Power. Other projects on the books for next year include Unity Village, a mixed use residential development on Old Kingston Road (expected to be finished by next fall), the Pickering Beach long-term sewage project, phase 2 of the Pickering Village signage program, and a number of other initiatives. The All Rs Waste Reduction Centre, a private and public large-scale waste recycling centre designed to accept all types of waste and discarded items, is expected to be up and running early in the new year. A site in Ajax will likely be somewhere near Highway 401. As well, there are dozens of site plans in various administrative stages — everything from medical centres It's our to food stores — on the books with the town's business development department. All of which points to a year that could be the best ever, '.n terms of development, for AjaX. Voters will determine next fail during t' -e civic elecron how importan. — tt:il be to .-e future of the town. an-Ott Sa e0 - 4 The December 29, 1993 • l 1 a As W 'W81KI-14; Irl, ,oft It 3 3 t � CCLARY SiJI-IN DISHWASHER Model LT YRB4239NW •3 level wash system $399 • 5 cycles • 4 pushbuttons: Normal, Heat dry, Air dry • Soft food disposer BOXING WEEK Imp y W._•. t �f ':MICROWAVE � Model JEM31LWC $225 �• 800 watts $2 2 5 '� • Popcorn setting • Sensor control • Electronic Digital Display with clock SALE DRYER - GDL70551RW WAS H E R • Timed dry:���� j I cWx3o70MW ` 4 • 4 program • Timed normal, •permanent ! $ I 499 • 6 programs • 2 speed IG I press, • 3 wash rins I • fluff, delicate temp. / • Drum light • Self clean filter ring _ ON SAL ;� 59 HOTPOINT CONVECTION ' (In Store Boxing Week Special) _ iWay M, Is NoM KSlSOM �+ ` • Hotpoint convection oven with three full oven 3 . s �x am's racks" and two 6" coil elements including two z� GENERAL quick heat elements and a "Simmer" element, all s :ELECTRIC with black centre caps Enamel bueox time/temperature control � `-REFRIGERATOR • Striped black glass oven door with le� • Hold WARM to prevent cooling at endcooking :y":, " 15.5 cu. ft.

Altona uncertainty will be addressed By Dan McLean The shape and scope of development in one of Pickering's last major open neighborhoods should be determined in. 1994, according to Mayor Wayne Arthurs. The mayor offered a glimpse of what local residents can expect to see happening next year. Highlighting his forecasts is a prediction that a final decision regarding development in the Altona Forest should be made by the summer. An Ontario Municipal Board hearing will be held in March to consider the matter. Town council has given its approval for a number of development proposals for the area and is awaiting an OMB decision. "It will be nice to see the OMB make its ruling," Arthurs told The Bat, .\'eu!s. explaining the matter has remained undecided during the 15 years he has spent on town council. Area residents can also expect to receive another tax break. Council, as it did in 1993, has again targeted a "zero increase" to its share of municipal property taxes. Council has already received projections from staff and will begin budget discussions in January. "1 think (no increase) is achievable without significant impacts on service levels," Arthurs said. "It will take significant work on the part of council, but I think everyone is committed to no tax increase. I expect it can be done with some effort and thought." Wayne Arthurs Mayor of Pickering January will also see the announcement of two significant development initiatives. While he could not specifically name the projects, Arthurs hinted one is manufacturing -related while the other is service -related. Both are medium-sized businesses — /� j� OPEN PC ' I Dec. 28,29 10-6 Dec. 30 10-8 Warehouse Cec.31 10-4 1501 Hopkins St..

Look for the construction and completion of a new Canadian imperial Bank of Commerce branch at Highway 2 and Glenanna Road this year. Also watch for the grand opening of Cineplex 9 — a six - theatre, independently -owned multi -movie house — on Highway 2 at Dixie Road. The Mandarin restaurant is moving to Pickering. A 20,000 sq. ft. dining area that seats between 300 and 400 people is expected to be located at Highway 2 and Brock Road A grand opening is expected mid -year According to Arthurs. the business develop,lent office has been busy fieiding inquiries about town in general and commercial space in particular. Calls are up more than 200 per cent from the previous year. Ontario Hydro will welcome an additional 150 to 200 employees as staff from the downtown Toronto office are transferred to Pickering. The new firehall at Dixie Road and Finch Avenue will be in limited operation next year. It's expected to be in full swing by 1996 as additional staff are gradually brought on board. Expect dump battles to highlight the political agenda of council in 1994. The town will continue its fight against the Interim Waste Authority's preferred Pickering landfill choice. Also expect to see action as town council exerts more pressure on Metro Toronto to close Brock West dump.

December 29,1993 7 Resident vows to snuff CAA offers winter driving tsps anti-smoking bylaw By Dan McLean Pickering resident Gordon Potts wants town council to butt out of his rights as a tobacco smoker. Potts appeared as a delegation during council's Dec. 20 meeting to speak out against a town -approved no -smoking bylaw set to take effect on Jan. 1. He's so burned -up by the impending bylaw which will Emit, and in some cases restrict, smoking in public places, that he vows to seek a court injunction to nullify it. Among other things, the Pickering bylaw would ban smoking in local retail stores and public transit vehicles, including tai s, and limit the practice in restaurants, bars, bo%vling a"eys and b;ngo nails. Potts wants the town to rescind its proposed bylaw on the bass t hat there are no facts to substantiate health hazards from smoking. He contends that such restrictions are not necessary and his rig;.ts as a smoker are being violated. "I tank this is a restriCion on my rights," Potts told council. "S111 —oking does not kill. Nowhere in the world has a federal government banned tobacco smoke." Potts told The Boy News that he's already spoken to a number of business people in the community and intends to have one of their lawyers draw up papers for an injunction.. "I'd be deiighted to serve it upon the town myself," he said. - Joe Dickson Other's faults are like headlights of an oncoming car, they seem more glaring than our own. ll I: The only way to have any- thing in today's economy is to sit home and let the rest of the world go buy.

Since speaking out against the bylaw when it was first proposed in March, Potts has helped organize the Smokers Defense League — a group which he says represents approximately 1,500 people. He predicted the movement will expand across the country. During the council meeting, Potts argued that the no - smoking bylaw is "based solely on rumors perpetuated by anti- smoking groups in var:o'.:s countries." "A bunk`: of crackpots have got together and decided people can't smoke," he said. Potts said the bylaw is based on the "m. Ieadin(, premise" that second-: and :obdCCO Smoke is rest c::on Impact on ale -)._ .. _ - it takes away the ability to "satisfy customers" by not allowing them to smoke. "The bylaw is grossly unfair to the citizens of this town," Potts said. "Surveys indicate that 30 per cent of people smoke, 20 per cent of people are anti- smokers...ard 50 per cent are no -smokers who do no, have an Opinion one way or "ne other." 'Tnetefore the bylaw unfairly advantages the 20 per cent to the derr;ment of the other 80 per cent. Earlier :his year. Potts made headlines during a stay at !-e Ajax and Pickering General Hospital.

A poorly maintained automobile combined with sleet, snow and ice can be a recipe for trouble, warns the Canadian Automobile Association. Skidding, difficult starts and trouble seeing or being seen can result when basic automobile maintenance is neglected. The following suggestions will help sweeten the winter driving season. • Switch early: Before the snow arrives, make sure your car is equipped with snow or all - season tires. Snow tires should be used in pairs on the drive wheels, front or rear. And remember to keep tires inflated properly. • Treasure chest: Some important items to carry in the car during winter are a container of sand or kitty litter. small snow shovel, a combination ice -scraper and in?l� Dn..; :ias�.:g�. blankest Cloth or ?aper :oweis, aid ka, spray de-icer and auto C -b Members' �. card.

Clear windows, mirrors and lights with an ice scraper, brush or spray de-icer. Make certain windshield wipers and defrosters are in good working order and that washer reservoirs are filled with no - freeze windshield washer fluid. • Air it out: Don't let frigid temperatures tempt you into starting your car in a closed garage or idLng your engine for long per'.ods with the windows closed. Carbon monoxide, present in exhaust fumes, is almost impossible to detect and can be fatal when breathed in a confined area. • An~freeze: tiieke certain cooling system antifreeze :s mixed vols:, an equal porion of water or Tac:m m protect:^ F us`.. and r2:....:.e . o:.ng system ever %vo year_.

Keeping the gas tank at least half full also helps prevent freezing. • Key solution: Frozen door locks can be overcome by carefully heating the end of a key with a match or Eghter. A squirt of de-icer spray is another quick method. Pouring heated water or, a frozen lock is not recommended. • Still going: Cold weather is tough on batteries. At -18°C, a car's battery loses about 60 per cent o,- its strengt:,. At a comparatively m::ci O -C, a battery is 35 per cent weaker.

Peter Wolchak i';AAtrP"on Court, Unit 18, Pickering, Ontario LIW' ili6 40 EdlotoriiaklJ IN Political disaster awaits Pistritto Pickering Ward 3 Local Councillor Enrico Pistritto is about to make a terrible political mistake. He's planning to attend a week- long, personal development seminar in Utah next year and is looking to spend $4,000 from his publicly - funded convention expense account to finance the junket. Quite frankly, such extravagance is controversial enough during good economic times. It's downright political suicide in the midst of a recession when everyone is counting pennies. During a pre -council meeting Dec. 20, a majority of local politicians appeared ready to endorse Pistritto's request to transfer $2,000 from his 1993 expense account and couple it with his 1994 allotment. Last week it uas revealed that the town has already issued a $1,000 cheque as partial payment for the course tuition. It's a disturbing situation, to say the least. Pistritto seems oblivious to the impending disaster that could befall him if he continues to press for the funding. In a way it's to his credit. lie appears, at least through conversation, to be sincere in his desire to learn skills that will help him become a better politician and an effective town administrator. But the move will likely be judged (foolhardy and brazen. It's the kind of thing that galls taxpayers. You simply can't justify such imprudence these days. It's astonishing to think ,that, as such important services as public transit and the library face :repeated cuts, elected officials still .have convention budgets in the first place. _ Pistritto acknowledges that there is ;a political risk. But he remains undaunted. "I don't really care," he told The .Bay News a week ago. "1 think I'm doing the right thing. I hope people :will judge me by my politics." They won't. Pistritto, like most :nondescript politicians, will be ,remembered for his mistakes. �� warner, HELP FOR THE HOSPITAL: Ajax Royal Canadian Legion Branch 322 will donate $100,000 over the next five years towards the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital's Buy -A -Bed campaign. Affixing a plaque to a newly -purchased bed is Legion First Vice -President Bill Phillips. Clarifying water plant concerns Dear editor: !n recent newspaper reports, there were several misunderstandings regarding our concerns about the proposed new Ajax water plant: 1. The government study of tritium water quality standards has not been completed. It has barely started. There are now five `A&dw& ranging from 210,000 to 740 bequez6 tee. Which one is safe? Are any? k even the kx+test one low enough to not rause long term health problems? We are drinking this radioactive stuff every day. Woridnt it be rim to at lean know the heath implications of doing so? 2. Our concerns about prostate cancer incidence haus been caled ascan tactic! What is scary is Region Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kyle, relying on 2-�eacld data about deaths from prostate carne to reamre us. To imply that only deaths mater is a side 'body court' mettality and to rely on 2-ez-old data after recent spilt ban the Pidreimg Nudes Station is i esponsiW The region's refusal to ask Dr. Kyle to initiate current studies is rrtind bogging. 3. Some reports suggest that a 'larger and more efficient water plan' will fix our concerns. larger, yes. More efficient, no. Tritium can't be filtered. The concentration in the lake is the coneentraSon coming out our taps. Period. Ajax is a dumb location for a new water plant. Put it in Whitby, which is further downstream from the Pickering Nuclear Station, or put it in Scarborough, which is upstream. All this debate around the Ajax location is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It keeps us all busy, but its a waste of everyone's time.

Arthurs had hoped to find money from the region to assist the town in the ongoing landfill battle with the province. Durham Region council, however, decided last week to refer the request to the joint finance and works committee for further study. Pickering wants Durham to share the financial burden by granting the town as much as $350,000 towards costs already ?ncurred. Pickering spent $359,792 in 1993, mostly on .egal, hydro -geological and environmental expenses. Future costs are expected to top $2 million in 1994. "These costs, to a local tax base, are onerous at best," Anhurs told region council. on Dec. 22. "We can reasonably ask member municipa!ities to participate in sharing the cost. 1 believe we have a shared responsibility." Regional Chairman Gary Herrema, while saying he agreed in principle, admitted he had problems giving money away without knowing exactly what it will be used for. "I have some feelings this resolution could be leading the region down the road without a blueprint," he said. "But we're not going to abandon the community." The Interim Waste Authority UWA) chose the site known as EE 11, near the existing Brock West dump, as the host site for Durham's next dump in November. Since then both Pickering council and local environmental groups have been actively fighting the decision, but Arthurs assured regional councillors that the money will be spent wisely. "We are not asking the region to oppose the IWA, nor are we asking the region to support ;t," he explained. "But I think we have an obligation :o ensure -,:.at (EE 11) is the best site, that ii s environmentally sound, and :hat it is technologically 'high-tech.'" The Town, of Clarington, which had one site on the short- list for d -, :.p sites, was also in line for ',;p to $150,000. But Mayor Diane Hamre, who introduced the motion to refer :o committee, turned down the opportunity. Hamre said her municipality wanted to go it OPTOMETRISTS Dr. E. Gillezeau Dr. M.

Narayansingh WE INVITE NEW PATIENTS BY APPOINTMENT WE OFFER FAMILY EYECARE sea -»1s sas-*jW alone "so when push came to shove we can stand up for what we believe in without owing anyone a cent." Most councillors who spoke on the issue were in favor of the plan. Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner said it is an opportunity for Durham to stand united against a "harebrained scheme like the IWA." Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson agreed, saying Durham municipalities must share the burden "like a family." Oshawa councillor John Aker, however, is not in favor of the idea. He expressed the concern that the .money will come from the waste management fund, used to and recycling efforts ';ke the bine box progra-n. "The day tate fund is gone people are going to find out the real cost of the program on ti-eir tar bills." Aker warned. Oshawa's Linda Dionne was also prepared to vote against the proposal beca:se of the risks :o the blue box program .uture. The region shouldn't be spending money in a time of budget restraint, she said. "There is nothing fair about a landfill site in a comm;;;:ity. There is nothing right about ... But a few bucks will not make a difference." During an interview after the meeting. Arthurs told The Bay News he was not disappointed Pickering didn't receive approval of its request. Arthurs said he was happy :o hear .:e torrents of fellow councillors, noting that -heir sentiments were "better than anticipated." "It was clear :ni ;d .ro7n the debase that there is recognition of region's responsioiiity for waste disposal by a :, a;or :y of council," he said.

The first thing to do is determine whether there is one already representing your area. There are two easy ways to find out if an association for your area already exists. Ask your neighbors if they know of one or contact the town to see if a local association exists in your area. In Pickering, call the co-ordinator of council services at 420-4605. In Ajax, contact the clerk's department at 683-4550. If an association already exists in your area, contact them if you are interested in helping. Most associations consist of a board of directors comprised of volunteer area residents. If you determine that no association exists for your area, and you choose to start one, it is a relatively easy process. Here's how: • You must notify all residents in the area, that are to be covered by your group, that you intend to organize a ratepayers association or community association. Invite them to attend an organizational meeting. • You must hold a public organizational meeting and elect members of an executive or board of directors. The executive/board must consist of at least three members who will hold the positions of president, secretary and treasurer. At this meeting, you must also select geographic boundaries for your new association. • Register your association with your town's clerk's department. When you register in Pickering, your association will receive copies of council agendas and minutes and notices of development applications submitted to the town. The town will also print a maximum of 2,000 two- sided sheets of paper for such things as association newsletters at no charge to your association. In Ajax, when you register, you don't receive any of the benefits that Pickering associations do. But it's a good idea to register because the town is aware of your existence, can refer people to you, and may even notify you about big projects that affect your association's area.
