Markborough Properties officials are billing the Durham Centre's revised first phase as a "power centre," complete with targe -selection "category killer" stores. Several Ajax councilors, however, want Markborough to kill the idea. They're calling the new concept for the shopping centre — an open concept plaza, not an enclosed mall — a disappointment. "A lot cs us weren't happy. We wanted a mall on that site," said regional councillor Roger Anderson. Anderson said he knew of Markborough's intention to revise their plans last month but the development company didn't formaly announce their new concept until a Feb. 28 executive and development committee meeting. Don Logie, Markborough's vice-president of development (shopping centres), said the original vision is only delayed, pointing out that his firm hopes to start construction on the mall concept in four to five years, during the second phase. Anderson said he hoped the town could get some form of a guarantee from Markborough that Durham Centre will eventually build a fufl- fledged mall, although he admitted it would be unlikely. "I wish there was a way we could hold them to those four or five years," he said. But (the time frame) is subject to the economy." Logie, who described the plaza as a "power centre," explained that large -selection stores Mx* go in open -concept, rather than dosed Continued on Page 2 Public school taxpayers to save $200,000 over 3 years Ajax will have to make do with one less trustee after November's municipal election. The Durham Board of Education decided Monday at a special board meeting to slash their tnistee rol by 25 per cent, a move that will reduce Ajax's representation to two trustees and save pubk school taxpayers $200,000 over the next three years - The vote passed 10-8 but met considerable opposition from some trustees, including Dwcan Read of Ajax, the vice•dsas of the board. The interests of demoaacy are best served the more people are ki owed in the proem: he told The Bay News. "We're taming a pubk voice out of the system and we've MQt the ability of the board to respond to the pubk" Read pointed out that each Ajax trustee will be representing 22,000 ratepayers after the election. The decision cuts the Ajax and Whitby mWee components from three to two. Scugog, which is currently represented by two testees, will now have one member. Oshawa's ranks were reduced from seven trustees to five. Voters in Pickering (three), Brock (one) and Uxbridge (one) wil not have their trustee totals Education Minister Dave Coohe had given school boards the option of reducing thew numbers prior to this year's election and the Dwt m board is the 13rd large Word to take advoDrltage of the oppordu*. Read, however, noted that Cooke had been quoted as saying that if school boards do not reduce their numbers "we may do it for you." "I don't know what kind of option that is," Read said. Pickering trustee Louise Farr, a former trustee chair, voted in favor of the proposal, saying that becase of recent staff and service cutbacks, the move is "reflective with what we are required to do" throughout the edwatiornl system. She admitted the decision means trustees will not be able to deliver the same level of SWAM to ratepayers. 'liiere's always more work to be done; she said. . The board serves nearly 60,000 students.

Transit director Terry Barnett, asked during budget talks to find an extra $25,000 in revenue, unveiled a proposal at last week's budget advisory committee meeting that called for increases from five to ten cents. His proposal, which would have generated more than $28,000 in revenue, was voted down by committee members, leaving the town in a budget shortfall position. That simply wasn't acceptable to Ward 4 councillor Jim McMaster, the fire and transit sub- committee chairman. McMaster warned his fellow counciL'ors Monda,, that the transit system u:.. :ace service reducnor:� don't come up with the money. He also hinted that a no vote to a fare increase would be an "easy way out," with a municipal election coming in November. "It's very easy to turn this down, especially in an election year, but this is a business and should be run like a business. It's the right thing to do at the right time," he said. "If you're using the system you have to help pay for it." McMaster's counter- proposal calls for a five -cent across the board increase, boosting the adult and Handi-Trans fares to $1.30. Student fares rise to $1.05 and children and senior fares jump to 55 cents. The Flag Bus fare will now cost less for some riders, changing from a $1.25 flat fare to a normal tariff. The proposal will generate approximately $25,000. McMaster noted that, even .vith the increase. Ajax Transit would still have one of the cheapest fares in the region. The council decision was not without some dissension, however. Ward 1 Councillor Frank Schaper, repeating comments made during budget talks, said raising transit fares is akin to a tax hike, something councillors avoided for the first time this year. "There's no reason why an increase is necessary at all," he said. 'Vie have to make do with what we have." Schaper gained an ally in Ward 2 Councillor Scott Crawford, who said he is "not confident or comfortable" with a fare increase. But Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish said council budgeted for the extra $25,000 so they must follow through with the fare increase or be accused of weakness.

"Its a different form of retail that we think will attract people from all over the region," he said. Costco Wholesale, a large warehouse -style store, is already open for business in the mail. Grocery giant Loblaws and the Zellers department store chain are also signed up. Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish added his voice to the discontent surrounding Markborough's revised site plan for D irham Centre, calling the new proposal a "big strip plaza-" He gave notice Monday that he will ask council to rescind their approval of Markborough's plan at nerd weeks council meeting. W also asked that no further plan for the site be approved until the developer commits to adding a theatre and entatunment complex to the development, an idea Parish has been trying to get off the ground for the Harwood Avenue - Ba* Street area. If we're going to get a cinema complex this concept is the last best chance we have," he said. "I want to make sure this component is there." Logie said his company is trying to attract a suitable tenant to the mall —. Anderson confirmed that Markborough is currently negotiating with a major theatre company — but adds that he has "nothing to report yet." "We think it wound be a good addition ... and we'd certainly like to put together an entertainment complex," Logie said. "But we re just not sure if we can do the deal." Logie and town representatives will be meeting today to discuss the issue, he added.

It's the first time taxes have dropped in Durham since regional government was established 20 years ago. Unfortunately, because of recent changes in assessment, some taxpayers — including those in Ajax and Pickering — will have to dance to a different tune. Ajax ratepayers will actually pay $5 more in regional taxes this year while Pickering ratepayers will shell out an extra $2. Oshawa taxpayers were the big winners. Their regional taxes will drop an average of $9. Whitby's taxes will drop $3 and the Clarington average tax bill will decrease $1. Taxes in Brock wig increase $5 while Uxbridge and Scum ratepayers will pay $2 more in 1994. Finance conv*sioner Jack Gar* agreed that it Wasn't fair that some municipalities will have to pay more in taxes while others will see their taxes stashed. But the budget will be good news for most ratepayers because most tax bills will be down and most services will be maintained, he pointed out. "It's an excellent budget as far as the taxpayer is concerned," he said. The increases to Ajax and Pickering could have been worse, however. Regional councillors headed into talks with a tax freeze target but tacked on $66,235 in expenses to the $320 million budget when they decided to join the Canadian Federation of Municipalities and help fund Ontario Housing Services Network. But some politicians felt it was zero increase or bust and got under their target by first killing a $500,000 reserve fund established for hospital capital expenses — moving the money to a general account — QOM NEW YOU at sEufRfii«s • medieaty weaned • nuftondy balanced diet • for men, women and children • sat regular food • guararoeed rets FREE CONSULTATIONS and then raiding the amount. The move to kill the hospital fund just squeaked through the council chamber, 14-13. Oshawa councillor Dave Conway said the region has to support local hospitals and called the $500,000 "negligible." Other councilloTs saw the issue differently, however, and didn't want to start a precedent by giving money to provincially funded hospitals. ?here's no way the region should be getting inwlved in giving grants to hospitals. It's a provincial responsibility," said Ajax Mayor Jim Witty, who added that the region's "no -grant policy" has been a "savior" for the region. Cuts in the welfare rolls — the welfare budget will drop by $1.7 million this year — and staffing cuts at the region helped Durham meet its tax freeze target flus year. The biggest loser in the budget will be the police department, with 45 jobs being slashed through attrition.

The 18,600 acres of land, expropriated in 1972, may prove to be a "very special property," Beer said during Monday might's council meeting. "The land has had nothing built on it for over 20 years. They (federal government) have a chance to capitalize on this opportunity and give something to the generation coming up," Beers said. "We haven't been able to give them anything else but debt and problems. We can't pave over everything. They at least• need food larxis." Liberal MP Dan McTeague said his government has to "put the issue at rest," and have a full scale review on the future development of the lands completed by June 1994.

By Glenn Hendry The Town of Ajax has decided to ride the "way of the future" by leasing 15 optical scanning voting machines in time for this November's municipal election. Budget advisory committee members approved the six- year, $84,000 lease -to -buy package March 3, a deal that clerk Joe Tiernay said will save the town approximately $30,000 this year and likely pay for itself by the end of the lease term. The town will save the money through a reduction in polling personnel — only 53 polling stations will be required instead of the projected 137 — and reduced postage and stationery costs. But the biggest advantage of the optical scanning machines is speed, Tiernay said. Under the manual system, it can take as long as three hours to count the votes. With the scanners the results can be known in less than 20 minutes. The system also eliminates human error, said Greg Forsythe from Global Elections System, the New Mexico - based company who will supply the town with the 15 machines. Forsythe demonstrated the machines to committee members. The voter first marks the ballot — enclosed in a "secrecy folder" — then feeds it into the unit. The vote is immediately counted and, at the close of polls, the deputy returning officer simply presses a couple of buttons and a tape is produced with the final results. The unit can be programmed to reject improperly marked votes while accepting those on the same ballot that are correctly marked. Ajax Transit director Terry Barnett said his staff already uses optical scanning in their "smart -card technology" fare system, with good results. The machines would be housed and maintained at the Canadian headquarters of Global in Vancouver and shipped out to Ajax whenever the town needed the equipment. Global optical scanning machines are currently in use in more than 150 American communities. Similar systems are used in Scarborough and North York- Forsythe orkForsythe assured committee members the breakdown rate for the machines was "minimal." A "Shocking" Sale."

PACT had asked council for $10,000 to help fund the project, expected to be led by Sister Marie Bertal, a Nobel prize-winning health specialist. According to Steele, the study will compare water and air samples from Pickering to those from a "healthy community," one without a landfill site and a nuclear generating plant. Ward 2 local councillor Eileen Higdon requested terms of reference for the study from PACT two weeks ago to allow carnal time to read background information about the project.

But not so, here in Durham Region. Here if a citizen wants to attend the meetings of the major municipal and education elected bodies for Pickering -Ajax, she or he would find it's impossible. Local government meetings here could hardly be more perfectly organized if the intent were to fin -it citizen participation and surveillance as much as possible. Our major local government meetings are just about all on the same night of the week, on Monday, and just about at exactly the same time. No voter or taxpayer can possibly keep an eye on ghat the local elected representeuva are doing whilst mh'ffons upon millions of public dollars are spent. furthn if a number or staff official of one board or council has reason to be concerned and watchful about what another elected body Is doing, that proves imposshbk.

The house styles, created by Chestnut Hills Homes, have been winning over house hunters since the community was first developed. The newest phase — 35 homes, all with new people - pleasing designs — continues that winning trend. There are seven different styles being released, on 42 and 45 -ft. lots, ranging from the $187,990 Teal to the huge 3,120 sq. ft. Stellar at $214,990. The Mandarin, a 2,850 sq. ft. home priced at $209,990, features a sunken living room and a family room with direct vent gas fireplace; a spacious kitchen and breakfast area and four upstairs bedrooms, including a sumptuous master bedroom. The second floor also features a "great room" with cathedral ceiling and optional fireplace. All the new home styles boast casement windows on the first and second floors and some of the homes feature greenhouse kitchens and solariums. But there's more to The Woodlands than just great new styles because, to Chestnut Hills Homes, developing a community means more than just building houses. In Whitby, they've succeeded in combining homes built with care and quality with a neighborhood complete with green space, shopping and recreation facilities — all at an affordable price. "We're trying to build communities that people can call home," said Ralph DelDuca, Chestnut Hill's vice-president of sales and marketing. "It's important to us to give people the home they want in a great location." The community sits on Brock Street just south of Taunton Road backing onto protected greenspace along Lynde Creek. Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village is just around the corner and nearby are several golf courses and conservation areas.

Construction work on Highway 401, currently underway at Markham Road in Scarborough, is not expected to reach Brock Road in Pickering until 1998. It will likely be at least 2010 before the highway work reaches Clarington. No time frame has been established for the extension of Highway 407 into Durham Region but the work is expected to reach Markham Road by the end of the decade. Ajax Mayor Jim Witty said the Highway 407 work is crucial to the region's future but said speeding up the widening of Highway 401 should be the region's number one priority. "It's safe to say the 407 is important to Durham but the widening of the 401 is vitally important to the region," he said. Regional Chair Gary Herrera will attempt to invite Premier Bob Rae to meet with area mayors on the Durham's special standing committee to discuss the issue. CHOO FM hearing The Canadian Radio - Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has set an April 25 hearing date to approve Ajax radio station CH00-AM's application to move over on the dial to FM. Douglas Kirk, chairman of Durham Radio, said the company made the request to improve reception — especially at night — and sound quality. CRTC approval, 9 given, wil Z* take 60-90 days, Kirk said. Approval will also mean the addition of one hA4ime and two or three part-time e<mpioyees to CHWS hill -time staff of 15, Mk added. The station will cm*m with the country music format. CH00-AM will also ask the CRTC to approve the dune 1993 sale of the station from C701den West ftaboft The sale price of the statim wasn't disclosed but Kirk said the bill was "under a million " Four E ls'Communications, a local company, owns 75 per Oft of Dtaharn Raclo. - The Bay News, March 9, 1994 15 .�a1W less as h� .

Lawrence Spurrell, 63, stopped breathing an has after a March 2 fight with Bill Shanks, his 32 -year-old neighbor. Spurrell, a Yeremi Street resident, was rushed to Ajax - Pickering General Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. An autopsy performed Friday declared the cause of death as a "heart -related" condition. Spurrell was diagnosed as a diabetic and suffered a stroke three years ago. Durham Region Police said the 9:30 p.m. fight began after Shanks, an Oklahoma Drive resident known to police, confronted Spurrell over a catfight. Shanks had blamed Spurrelrs cat, Jake, for an attack on Shanks' cat, Tiger. Spurrell's death marks the second homicide in Durham Region this near. Driving gradually 4 Peter Wokhak Heather MacDonald does not have her drivers licence yet and, like many of her friends, she opposed graduated licensing. After attending a brief transportation ministry seminar on the new system, MacDonald has changed her opinion. "It's basically the same (as the old system)," the 15 -year- old student said after the seminar at Ajax High School. "Originally, I thought it was really dumb because I heard a lot of rumors, but after this it doesn't seem so bad." MacDonald said she believes many of her friends are misinformed, and would accept the policy if they understood it better. "The rumor Ive heard is that it takes four years. I think there's a problem with communication." Kevin Ftzmaurice's job is to address that problem. He and other Ministry of Transportation employees are conducting seminars in Ontario high schools to inform teenagers of the new rules. He brings some frightening statistics. Motor vehicle collisions are the number one killer of people age 16-24. Eighty -fine per cent of those are caused by human error, not bad weather or mechanical failure. Inexperienced drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a collision. He tells students that lives can be saved 9 new drivers are better prepared. "(Graduated licensing) is about allowing new drivers to gain experience in a low-risk environment," Fitzmaurice said during his presentation. "When you leave your learning period you will leave alive and as a safer driver" Graduated licensing will be implemented June 6. It establishes two levels for new drivers. Level 1 lasts 12 months, or eight months with a driver -education program. To operate a motor vehicle the driver must be accompanied by someone with at least four years experience, maintain a zero blood-alcohol level, stay off 400 -series highways, and not drive between midnight and 5 a.m. Level 2 is similar to a full licence. For an additional 12 months drivers must maintain a zero blood-alcohol level and limit the number of passengers to the number of seatbelts. There are no further restrfctfons. A road test is required to pass from level 1 to level 2 and from there to a full licence. Graduated licensing does not impress Mike Burley. The 17 -year-old Ajax High School student questioned the policy's impact on safety. "This isn't going to make people drive slower. There is nothing the government can do to stop...acddents," he said. The province disagrees. According to the transportation ministry, Australia and New Zealand experienced a 15 per cent reduction in accidents the first year they implemented graduated licensing. In the second year accidents were cut by seven per cent. The province hopes for similar results in Ontario. For more information call the transportation ministry at 235- 2999 or 1-800-387-3445.
