1117W Bay News, February 2,1991 -4 No tax increase target Ajax councillors will zero in on no tax increase this year during budget discussions set to take place Saturday. Councillors came close to accomplishing that feat last year when they approved a 0.84 per cent millrate increase — an amount that represented approximately five dollars extra a year for the average tottin taxpayer. This year. Aiax Mayor Jim Witty vows councillors kill do even better. 'lVe're looking at cutting it down to a zero increase this year.- fie said. Town staff are still crunching numbers, but the preliminary budget from Treasurer Greg Kirkbride calls for a millrate increase of $350.000 — approximately tato per cent. It «ill be council's job to pare that figure down to zero, although Witty pointed out there may be some proie-cts, struck off by staff, that councillors may want to put back in the budget. Kirkbride said there are no capital projects on a -hit list - right now. tie added that council sill look carefully at each town department for possible reductions. The job of slashing will be made tougher by reduced building permit revenue. The town is also facing nearly $600,000 in social contract and unconditional grant cutbacks. WAR OF -WORDS Pickerinq mayor slams IWA's dump annroval By Glenn Hendry The battle over future landfill sites in Pickering, Vaughan and Caledon has developed into a war of words between three area mayors and the Interim Waste Authority (IWA). Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs fired the first salvo in the latest skirmish last week when he questioned the integrity of the provincial government for rushing the approval processes. An Order -in -Council from Premier Bob Rae's tip;:: Democr<:t , r t directs MS UGLY k ;.111111LIWAV111 461$6 695 ee^ INCLUDES: Anstailation of spark plugs 76a • ti *Check all fuel and ignition com onetms i *Adjustments as required p Moot own andt trueks.0895 van swaimVe, EAW~ Fib.

The local force joined other law enforcement agencies across the country cla recently when it linked up with a state-of-the-art computer information r_ system called Violent Crime Linkage System (VICLAS). °O The system analyzes data on homicides, sexual assaults (stranger -to - stranger and serial or predator type), missing persons (where foul play is known or suspected), unidentified human remains and non -parental abductions. Speci*trained analysts, using data in the VICLAS system, can examine behavioral characteristics, victim studies, offender information, forensics and methods of operation to identify crimes committed by the same offender. Durham Region Police Detective Dave Kimmerly, the local VICLAS co- ordinator, told The Bay News that the system — capable of interfacing with existing American data bases — will pool investigative resources from a variety of jurisdictions, over and above what is now available on the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). He points out that VICLAS is simply an extra tool in the battle against violent crime however, and does not replace good police work. -The data base is only as good as the data fed into it,- he said. -If people dorsi t send in their case information, the analysis wori t be any good and the whole system breaks down. As long as we get the cases entered on the 6ow system, it11 do its job.' mak VICDAS was developed over a two -and -a -half year period by the RCMP, in Jay cooperation with the OPP. In Ontario, the system is co-ordinated at MP ind headquarters fn Orffia, with five officers dedicated to the pttojed. The actual on, MAS mainframe computer is at RCMP headquarters m Ottawa.

IWA chairman Walter Pitman took exception to the charges. In a letter to Arthurs, Pitman said the government's timetable is fair and noted that the time frames are reasonable. "The IWA has made tremendous efforts to ensure comprehensive public input at every step of the way. Your alarm over the government's attempt to streamline what is often referred to as an unwieldy and lengthy government review process is disappointing." Arthurs. however, was not convinced. He told The Bay .News that environmental standards will be at risk because the government cannot properly review three mega -dump sites in only 60 days. "It's a political timetable, not an environmental timetable;' he said. 'The only way we can ensure (environmental standards) ii, through the hearing process. But the problem is the IWA has set the 60 -day schedule and can't effectively review three landfill sites in 60 days. The IWA has been late at almost every stage. Now they're trying to compress everything to meet their deadline." Arthurs added that if it was a private company trying to get landfill site approval, there's "no way" the process would be rushed. "The government would make them go through so many hoops it would be unbelievable." he reasoned. IWA communication co- ordinator John Steele told The Bay News that Arthurs shouldri t have any complaints with the government review timetable. He noted that members of the public have more than enough time to comment on the landfill selection process. Environmental standards for the three sites will not be compromised, he added, because the joint Ontario Municipal Board/Environmental Assessment Board will not grant site approval. -The bottom line is that government and the public has been involved in the process. probably for the last two years."

During an executive committee meeting on Jan. 24, Pistritto addressed remarks he made weeks ago. The councillor was quoted as saying he 'did not care" whether he was re-eiected as a result of his controversial decision. 'I do care in the sense that I feel 1 have something to offer this community," Pistritto said, adding that he does plan to run for re-election this year, but is "not obsessed with it." — — — COUPON — — • COUPOY — — — — _ — COI,TON • — — — TRILLIUM DOZEN LONG :25% OFF' ROSE BOWL STEM 1 ` ROSES "� ' Anv Flov yr ' ��'{ru'6`ment 1 �TIy, 'KITH , .._.t. 1 c lv CCX-"D.!v Coupon not val in WITHOI.T f=o v$ 1 95; f=v°o1T $1495 comboU a oM o , Ejpkvs fek 99 1904. 1 Expires fib. 91994. 1 ExDres FvLR 91991. � 10 10 10 ; 1 t 'CASH & CAM, 1 CASH & CARRY, CASH &CARRY , , ROSES ; CARNATIONS; L ROSEONG S $499 ; $ 991 $ 99,11 ' t 1 JI 1 1 .1 vrm otMC0kV0N WN 1 ,— f�iwfed 9101 t Eviwfsd 9104. 1 Ewk""918". 1 Trillium Florist ., _ 06k, 17W IlYB 1004. 1IOA0.111110 M COMMEACIAL AYE, AJAX (Arae•• Fso� TMe ossr 81osN (Aaose Ft� � Bssr SIo1N the open cases on Durham police files that are eligible, including four unsolved homicide cases.

After the data was entered, the computer told investigators of five similar unsolved cases — 1 three in neighboring jurisdictions — that fit many of the same patterns.

The hospital birth of Rebecca Rutherford to Anita and Paul of Ajax on Jan. 28 by midwives Cameron and Peggy Cannon was the first time in Canada that regulated midwives delivered a baby without a doctor present. The birth took place at Markham-Stouffville Hospital. "I think it's very historic," Cameron told The Bay News. "It broke down a lot of barriers." Most midwife births take place at home. Midwives who attend hospital births have traditionally given way to a physician during the delivery. However. provincial regula^ons now recognize them as birthing professionals since Dec. 31. "I'm like a physician (in a hospital) now," she explained. "I can admit women and discharge them. I think a lot of practitioners see this as a good move for health care. People see each other as professionals," Cameron added. "We're all really working together and for the same thing. (Midwife delivery) is just another option." Provincial regulation also means that the cost of midwife services are now in6uded in the Ontario health care system and women no longer have to pay for such services out of pocket. Midwife care is a non -clinical and personal approach to childbirth. In addition to the actual delivery, m;dwrives, who Seaton study this year One picky company or consort:u^ w�.il earn the right this fa" to develop a concept pa.^ for the future community of Sea:or. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, who sits on a committee looking into the future of the rout : Pickering lands, said three Erurs will be selected for a design competition, slated to r in from. August to December. A jury of connm:t•.ee members, who will be looking for an "ecosystem approach," will identity one w icer who wi''_1 get the lion's share of input into the look of the proposed com.: unit'. Arthurs said the winning firm will be developing a concept plan only, not an implementation plan. The winning proposal, along with some input from the other two finalists, will form part of a report the comrnittee will present to the housing ministry by April, 1995. The committee includes representation from Durha:. Region, the development indus:.y, tine province and comri.uruty groups, as well as Arthurs. 'This won't be a traditional planning process or a formal planning exercise," Arthus said. "(The cornmun:-y's fu^ure) is stiff: at the direction of the province, as the landowners. It's sail in their ballpark but hopefully this will move the timetable along." The province expropriated the lands in the early severities or a pianned community of 75,000 to 90,000 people, shortly after federal counterparts aoquired lands immediately to the south for a proposed airport. The province has yet to set a date for developing a com munity, but Arthurs said he is hoping Seaton will become a reality by the end of the decade. work in teams of two, provide emotional support during all stages of pregnancy. Midwives coach the actual labor and birth. They also provide family support after the baby is born. While midwives deliver approximately 75 per cent of all newborns in the world, Canada has been somewhat slow to recognize the profession. Since becoming regulated, more and more hospitals allow midwives the right to take complete charge of baby deliveries — without the presence of a doctor. In fact, the Markham- Stouffville Hospital granted seven rniowives "privileges" only the day before the his:or,c first delivery took piace. T`:e decision allows midwives :o function within the comoiete scope of :heir practice. Carneror, is one of only 67 registered midwives in Ontario. She is among a group of only three in Durham Region — she and another live in Pickering while t' -e third lives in Oshawa. The trio plan to open. a clinic in either Whitby or Al ax probably sometime in March. Midwives are provincially - regulated by the College of Midwives and the Association of Ontario Midwives. Post- secondary degree programs for midwifery since September are offered in three Ontario universities. Approximately 30 students are currently enrolled in these programs. Cameron has been a midwife for five years. She initially completed an apprenticeship and attended formal training in the United States. All midwives go through a one-year pre- assessment that includes rigorous testing before they are admitted into training programs, she said. Cameron admitted she hasn't applied for similar privileges at the Ajar and Pickering General Hospital simply because it would be impossible to attend at both places. For now, she'll limit herse!f:o :he Mar;ha:. ^,)spi:al, Cameron said. "I'm certain that hospitais in Durham will offer midwifery programs somewhere in the future." Cameron said her next assisted deiivery will take place later this month. POW vvoc—ak HISTORY MAKER: Jan. 28 was a memorable day for Pickering midwife Carol Cameron. She and a colleague delivered a newborn in a hospital without the assistance of a doctor — the first such birth in Canada. Aiders will be happy with transit changes By Dan McLean Streamlining Pickering Transit service will provide changes "I think people w it be very happy with," predicts Executive Director of Operations Tort Quinn. Quinn spoke in response to concerns raised during executive committee last week when a number of residents demanded that the town not snake cuts to its transit service. Quinn's reply is that he has no intention of doing so. 'I'm not about to recommend to council to eliminate transit service," he told The Bay News. "That was never my intention. It's my responsibility to have a dear mandate to run an efficient transit system. We are not cancelling the service." Quinn said he'll begin the difficult task of reducing transit costs by assessing the best way to serve the public with the amount of dollars available for public transit. I: will be a matter of, among other things. examining transit routes and numbers. "I'll be looking at the entire system and how we do business. I think we can run a more efficient system and I think people will be very happy with the changes. If you cant afford the service then you have to look at it," he added.

Problems occur during that six - hour period between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Monday to Friday. "We have buses running around the town during non - peak hours that are empty," Quinn said. "Everybody knows that ... rm not having buses sit at the (Pickering Town Centre) mall for 25 minutes. That's not the way to run the system." Quinn noted that it costs approximately $65 an hour to operate a transit bus. Pickering Transit has traditionally operated over -budget for a number of years. The number of changes that local public transit has undergone over the past few years has created a complex system Bus service varies greatly according to peak anc non -peak hours, and on weekdays and weekends. Many bus routes are "all over the place," the operations director said. It wi!l be a matter of simplifying things and creating a "constant understanding" about service, Quirn said, explaining that people have been misled regarding proposed changes. Town management has already taken the initiative to involve its drivers in future transit planning through recent discussions with the operational committee. Quinn vowed that when the next round of changes is made, these will be well- publicized and promoted. ommunity Calendar is a regular feature on upcoming events.

Police say the suspect entered the bank at 1822 Whites Rd. at 4 p.m. on Jan. 26. He told employees and customers that he had a gun and ordered everyone into the bank vault before escaping in a gold -colored car Approximately 30 minutes later, the car — which was discovered to have been stolen from Boyer Pontiac -Buick in Pickering earlier last month — was found engulfed in flames in the Rouge River valley. Shortly before 5 p.m. a man reported his black, Chevrolet Beretta stolen at gunpoint on Sheppard Avenue in Scarborough by a man fitting the description of the bank robber. The car was located a short time later, abandoned on Sheppard Avenue. DOORS AND a WINDOWS FOR LESS FIWJCF TERMS AVAILABLE O A C ti Professionally installed, or do ft yourself for extra savin .

The fact is, as was pointed out during two days of budget discussions and last week's executive committee meeting, public transit is an expensive, money-losing proposition. Enhancing or even maintaining current levels of bus service in town will be difficult — if not impossible. Assuming town councillors endorse the current $900,000 transit budget provision, something has to give. Operations director Tom Quinn appears to be on the right track. Streamline the service and make the best use of what's available, he says. Yes. that will mean walking farther and waiting a little longer for a bus during off-peak hours. But it's a responsible measure. Buses don't get a lot of use between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and it costs a whopping $65 an hour to keep each of them on the road. It might be cheaper for the town to sponsor taxi service for the number of transit users who ride during off-peak hours, but that's another matter entirely. Who's willing to pay the cost of keeping buses on the road? The province provides 80 per cent of the cost yet the town still can't cap the transit money pit. Every year it costs more for less and there are fewer and fewer people riding the buses. Should those who use public transit pay the cost of operating it? J Some have suggested this direction. Is it fair for those who never use Pickering Transit to keep fronting the =` costs? Probably not. Yet most would agree public transit should be available. Not everyone can afford to own an automobile and, in most cases, public transit is a - - more efficient and economical way of itraveling. But it's a question of ,degree. .Pickering Transit riders must accept that the local system has to change in order to keep running. It's a fact of life these days as all levels 7,4:`" of government attempt to wrestle budgets and keep costs in line. :< There are no free rides anynmri�.

You don't always know what to expect, except that there will probably be a few bumps and jolts along the way. When you consider that buying a home is probably going to be the single, largest purchase most of us will ever make, it's little wonder that the process can be somewhat frightening and a little overwtieWirig to most people. To help you sort through the process and have a better idea of just what to expect, the Ontario Real Estate Aseodatlon is Offering fust -time purchasers copies of its popular, free — and recently revised book — called How to Buy Your Fust Home. The 128 -page guide originated two years ago in response to research showing that potential first-time buyers wanted a lot more information about the home-buyap process. Now in its fourth printing, the easy -to -read book has been revised to reflect lower interest rates and downpayment requirements. For instance, at aninterest rate of nine per cent, the cost per thousand (based on a 25 -year amortization period) is $8.28. So, if you purchased a home with a mortgage of $100,000, your payments at this rate would be $828 per month. Some lending institutions are now offering short-term mortgages (usually six months) at even lower rates. Based on a 25 - year amortization, monthly payments at seven per cent would be $700, at six per cent they would be $600. From this simple example you can see what a difference a couple of percentage points make. And keep in mind that lower interest rates not only affect your monthly payments, but also your ability to qualify for the mortgage in the first place. Generally, the korner the interest rate, the greater the amount you can borrow to finance your purchase. : Unhke some other books about home -buying, How to Buy Your First Home is designed to be user- friendly and makes no assumption that the reader has any previous knowledge of the hone -buying process. It provides the basic building blocks to help you start your home search with confidence. . The book leads you through the following stages • Making the decision to bey; • Deciding what kind of home you can afford; • Investigating the marketplace; • Selecting and working with a lawyer; • Making an offer to purer; • Arranging a mortgage and other costs; • Having the home wed; and • Completing the transaction. Several worksheets and checklists are included in the book, to help "de -mystify" the home -buying process even further Using the book will help you understand the importance of workup with a realtm and what you can expect from these professionals. It will also help you shop for a mortgage more effectively and talk intelligently with your banker. A realtor can help you with any questions you may still have after reading the book.

Brush with death stresses importance of Heart and Stroke campaign By Rob Dubeau PHS co-op student It took a near brush with death for a local Heart and Stroke Foundation volunteer to realize the importance of this month. FeNuary is Heart and Stroke month across Ontario and for Bernie McDonald, who underwent bypass heart surgery in April 1992, it's the perfect opportunity to help out as campaign chairman at the Pickering branch. "h happened very suddenly," McDonald told The Bay News, recalling his heart attack "I was just sitting watching TV when 1 felt a tightness in my chest that I had never felt before. I figured something wasn't right, so I :cashed to the hospital. Luckily, I got there in time." McDonald was immed`ately put into the emergency ward at the hospital — where he stayed until he was out of danger. He spent three weeks in intensive care and was released a week later. McDonald went home and recuperated for eight weeks before undergoing surgery. While recovering from his operation, McDonald learned more about the Heart and Stroke Foundation. "I saw the tremendous work they do at the foundation and I thought volunteering would be the best way I could pay them back," he said. 'It's a dreadful disease and it caught me completely by surprise. fm just thankful that medical science can correct it." Still recovering from the operation, McDonald spends a great deal of time arranging volunteer door-to-door canvassing which will be taking place this month. "We don't get government funding," McDonald explained. "So all the funding we receive comes from the community." This years campaign goal for Pickering is $28,000. "We (the Heart and Stroke Foundation) don't want to have to turn away any researchers," said Durham West Area Co- ordinator Christina Kalchos. "We're in the business of saving lives. So hopefully when canvassers come around, people won't shut the door so quickly. All we ask is that people give what they can. Even if it's just a 'loonie' or two, it still helps." Every year, approximately 50,000 Canadians suffer a stroke. A third of those victims are between 'he ages of 35 and 65 and approxima:e�, a quay-er of stroke victims die. "We have to keep people aware of the seriousness of this disease," said McDonald. "People are constantly thinking that cancer is the top killer in our country, but it's not. And although the disease affects people between the ages of 35 and 65 the most, really, it has no respect for age." McDonald currently attends a Whitby cardiovascular clinic three times a week to have his blood pressure and general health checked. "Now I try to be very cautious of my diet and regular exercise," McDonald said. "But I feel very good right now. fve never felt better." "Looking back, it's quite scary from an individual standpoint," he added. "Fortunately, I was lucky enough to recover `rom the operation. And my wife has been very supportive. It came as much of a shock to her as it did to me. And as a result, she weathers the storm as much as I do." Door-to-door canvassers will be visiting local homes all this month. If you wish to donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation call the Durham West office at 686-1521. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is always ir need of volunteers. If you're interested tali them. "In advance, we at the foundation would like to thank the community for its continuing support," Kalchos said. "And we would like to thank everyone involved with this campaign and everyone who will be donating." Bowl for Big Brothers The Big Brothers`Association °of Ajax -Pickering hope local residents will find the time to have a ball and raise a few dollars during this yeai s annual bowling fundraiser at Celebrity Lanes. The association has set a goal of $40,000 at this year's Bowl for Millions, which begins Saturday at Celebrity Lanes bowling alley, located at Brock Street and Bayly Street. The final event takes place Feb. 13. Bowl for Millions is the major fundraiser for local Big Brothers, accounting for 52 per cent of all revenue needed to run the agency. The money goes toward recruitment, screening and assessment, and matching of Big and little Brothers, as well as special activities and events. The organization set a goal of $30,000 last year. A total of 550 bowlers participated and raised $40,000. "Last year was great, especially considering the economy," said Diane Connelly, an agency administrative assistant. The 1994 event will feature a cruise for two to the Bahamas for one dicky bowier (18 or over, minimum $35 in pledges) as well as a fantasy baseball day for four (for another participant under 18), minimum $25 in pledges). There will also be a town challenge, pitting Pickering councillors against Ajax counterparts, a teachers challenge event, a silent auction and prizes for most funds raised, most sponsors and best tearn. Bowling times are still available for both dates (either at 3:30 p.m. or 5 p.m.), but spaces are filling fast. The cost for one hour of bowling is free with $15 or more in pledges. For more information call (905) 686-2871(days) or (416) 694- 0917 (evenings). Rash of car thefts If you must warm up your car because of the season's frigid weather, please lock up the vehicle, say Durham Region Police. Better still, invest in a security device for the car, especially if it's a Chrysler product. There's been a rash of car thefts in the region lately and more than half of the robberies have involved Chrysler products, said Constable Jim Grimley. Grimley said thieves have been picking on late -model Chrysler Dodge and Plymouths because the ignition systems have prowen to be easy to smash into. He added that most of the robbers have been youths, aged 14 to 17. - Police are investigating 100 car thefts in the first 26 days of January alone and 53 of the stolen cars have been Chrysler automobiles, usually Dodge Shadows and mini -vans. "The only advice we can give people is to seriously think of installing an anti -theft device," Grimley said. He pointed out that no security product is perfect, but they all serve as a deterrent to would-be thieves who will likely look for an easier target - There were 124 reported vehicles thefts last November. That number jumped to 174 in December, although the November -December figures also include cases that turned out to be false alarms. Car thefts in 1993 in the region jumped 11 per cent over 1992 figures. 4 17 'Is Itisfartir .— _�'�� 494— � r `s I E* %`.,/ ZlllIVA The Bay News, February 2,1994 15 rim M.. a In Crj I fir of =0 _V__j_V '94 _OYAGER -BRAND NEW '94 COLT - BRAND NEW Incl: V6, auto, ps, pb, 7 Pass. seats, air cond., — _ Ind: 2 dr., 1.5 roof rack, reading + ,` engine, buckets, lights, flood lights, dua_ -- air bag, power - air bags, siderakes, console, mouldings, storage , © electric defroster. drawer & more.

The province's transport ministry warns motorists not to pass snow plows and other road maintenance vehicles operating in tandem on multi -lane highways. It is extremely dangerous to squeeze past such equipment, the ministry advises. Drivers who do get ahead of the plows face the added risk of driving on a highway that has not been cleared of snow and ice. The snow plows are out there to improve highway conditions as quickly as possible. The passing problem has become a serious situation, says the ministry. Motorists are advised to stay several hundred metres behind snowplows and other road maintenance vehicles, easily identified by a flashing blue light. 839-1195 683-1143 Ronald A.
