"I find it very strange council would vote in favor of building a rec complex in Claremont when youive got a rec complex here (Pickering Recreation complex) that runs $800,000 a year in the red at taxpayers expense," Van Kempen, the chairman of the Pickering Economic Development Task Force, told The Bay News. The councillor also has concerns about building an additional firehall when "council has not been prepared to commit to staffing the new Dixie/Finch firehall." Van Kempen had attempted last month to get council to approve using the infrastructure cash to fund the servicing of about 300 acres of vacant industrial land in north Durham Woods, adjacent to the 401. According to a Pickering Economic Development committee report, commissioned in 1989, Coldwell Banker identified the need for more "serviced industrial land" in Pickering. The report revealed, of all the industrial land in Pickering, less than severs per cert of the lard inventory was serviced with necessary underground sewer connections. Without essential service tines in place to accommodate building needs, Van Kempen claims much needed business is going elsewhere.. He cited the loss of the Honda car plant to Cambridge as an example. Prior to the funding announcement, Coldwell Banker suggested to Pickering councillors they issue a debenture to generate the financing required for construction of the infrastructure to service the Runnymede lands. The report demonstrated the Continued on Page 6 Feelings rule council By Brenda Birinyi Pickering councillors once again let their personal feelings towards each other, Wile their political decisions, says long- time resident Betsy Gummow. The controversy erupted during last week's council meeting after members of council over -ruled a decision made the week before — the spending of Picaerirlg's share of the $3.2 -million federal pra&xW infrastnriure funds. And that has Gummow wondering if councillors changed their vote beta m it was Ward 2 regional councillor Kip Van Kemperis proposal. Councilors approved in principle, during a March 28 mrnnittee meeting, funding that would go towards servicing nearly 300 acres of vacant industrial land between Church Street and Squires Beach, on both sides of Bayly Street, adjacent to Hwy. 401. Servicing the land, owned by Runnymede Development Corp., was an attempt by courucil to bring "much needed" commercial and industrial developments to Pickering. According to Van Kempen, the Runnymede land is in a "Prime location" and "the right spot" any business looking to moue to Pickering would want to locate, "especially being so close to the 401" But in Van Kempen s absence from the April 5 council meeting, council thumbed their noses at his or000sal to service the lands and instead approved Looking For Personal/Business Computers?

Claremont library board member Joyce Bernet spoke on behalf of the Claremont proposal, saying the 800 residents use six different properties within the hamlet to house their community organizations. The Claremont library has no washrooms, a real problem when young children use the facility, she added. Pickering treasurer Jim Wallis estimates the complex will cost $2,100,000 to build. Pickering's one-third share towards the construction is $700,000. Pickering library Chief executive officer Sandy Cameron estimated the annual cost to operate the new ClareniM Wrmy at $98,000.

What once was dismissed as ripples of dissatisfaction within the communities of Ajax and Pickering seems to be growing into a veritable groundswell of action. We warn an arts and cultural centre! During last week's council meeting in Ajax, Margaret Hughes of Theatre Durham and speakers from five other local performing arts groups, all stated clearly that the facilities they now use are woefully Inadequate. "Acoustically embarrassing," said Nigel Alderson of Pickering Players. Having given up all hope of ever convincing Pickering council that its residents need some form of cultural activity, the arts groups — which now number some 13 or 14 — decided to zero in on Ajax town council. Town chief administrative officer Barry Malmsten, who is "explorbg possibilities," is to report his findings to council in about a month. Major infrastructure funding doesn't happen every day. Allotted $5.1 million — $3.4 million to come from the provincial and federal governments and $1.7 million from the town's own coffers — Ajax should be able to find some way to satisfy the crying need long ignored in this community.

Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish put the heat on his fellow councillors in February to spend some of the town's federal/provincial infrastructure money on constructing a library/theatre complex in the Harwood Avenue/Bayly Street area. Next he moved on to the Durham Centre shopping mall being built on Highway 2, demanding that the developers commit to the addition of cinemas - at least - in the mall. "These things don't happen overnight but 1 see momentum building," Parish said in an interview. He pointed out that he was alone in his efforts to spend some infrastructure money to bring the culture complex to Ajax a short time ago. Now, he said, there's been a noticeable change of heart from some of the councillors. "There's been a lot of talk lately. It's getting on the priority fist for a few councillors." Town staff and Markborough Properties - the Durham Centre developers - are currently negotiating with a theatre chain to bring movie screens to the plaza. Parish does not have details of the negotiations - he isn't a party in the talks - but points out that a few movie a A W screens isn't quite good enough to fill Ajax's cultural void. "The cultural aspects of the town that dont exist should exist and if we ignore that in the community a lot of things suffer," he said, adding that businesses considering re- locating to Ajax will look elsewhere if they decide the town is a "cultural wasteland." "I think it's time to say 'OK, this is a priority and we have to look at this Parish said. "There's very little to do here and we have a big population to draw from. It's a viable idea." Margaret Hughes of Theatre Durham agrees. She and seven other residents gave a similar message to Ajax councillors last week, noting that the town boasts plenty of talent, without a a place to perform. "We don't need something grand or extravagant. But we need a good facility with the amenities in place," Hughes told The Bay News. " There's nothing Ike that in Ajax and there's a great need of one." Right now, the best talent in Ajax has to go to Pickering to strut their stuff, a situation Hughes finds deplorable. Pickering is the home of Pickering Philharmonic Orchestra, County Town Singers, Pickering Concert Band, Theatre Durham, Pickering Players, Pickering - West Hill Music Theatre and Herorgate Barn Theatre. In Ajax? There's Young Singers in Ajax, a group of youths sponsored by the town. After that? Nothing. "Ajax needs to be encouraged A 1IA w Air Condoner 11 LIVERPOOL 839323.4 113T.

There's more to do in Pickering than in Ajax...and the place is going to become extinct," Hughes said. 'There's plenty of Ajax people in those groups and they need proper space here." Hughes, along with Allan Litherland (Pickering Arts C.oura, Marianne Vogt (County Town Singers), Nigel Alderson (Pickering Players), Bill Stevenson (Theatre Durham), Deborah Rogers (Big Sisters), Keith Bohlender (Pickering Concert Band) and Steve McKean (Pickering Philharmonic) showed up en masse last week at the council meeting. They want council to show some initiative to get the ball rolling on the issue. The councillors listened, but what they did, according to Hughes, was send the proverbial ball back into her court. "They want us to do our homework," she said, explaining that her group wig be talking to theatre groups in other municipalities to see how they got started. Hughes is currently preparing a questionnaire to send to neighboring culture organizations. Her group would also like to talk to anyone in the private sector who share her cultural dream. "It's made the councillors think, but (the idea) may still die. But here's an opportunity for them and I don't want to see it die." Parish doesn't want to see the dream die either. He wants the arts centre in town, at the Harwood/Bayly location or at Durham Centre, adding that the chances of funding the project have gone from slim to possible in the past month. I think there's a possibility it may happen," he said, adding the idea will bear fruit "sooner rather than later," if private money is found. The question of the town spending infrastructure money on the cultural centre is expected to be finalized next month. The town still has approximately $3 million to for government funding. If spend. The projects would have council kills the culture centre to be 35 per cent complete by proposal, Durham Centre - and next March and 85 per cent Markborough - will become the finished by 1996 to be eligible only short-term option.

Starting next January, junior kindergarten children will be affected by the decision. They will begin attending at eight Durham schools, including Rosebank PS and Woodlands PS in Pickering and Roland Michener PS, Lord Durham PS and Aldon Early Years Learning Centre in Ajax The Durham board has proposed a plan to the Ministry of Education which would ultimately see junior kindergarten children attending all day Tuesday and Thursday, and senior kindergarten all day Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

"I dont think we got a fair shake. I don't think it was an environmental decision, it was a political decision," Herrema told reporters following last week's regional council meeting. Herrema suggested the upcoming provincial election in Quebec influenced Ottawa's decision to choose Montreal as the home for the Secretariat of the North American Commission for Environmental Co-operation. 'The country wants to live together but this will split us up, not draw together," he said. Environment minister Sheila Copps had said that Pearson International Airport would not be able to provide the necessary service for the centre. She also said that Ontario Premier Bob Rae's opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) played a role in her decision in not awarding the centre to Toronto. Herrema called Copps comments "totally inappropriate." The new centre, established under NAFTA, will co- ordinate environmental policies among the three participating countries. The region passed a resolution last week denouncing Ottawa's decision because of the Toronto area's — including Durham's — excellent environmental record. Herrema added that the area has done a "fantastic job" of protecting its headwaters and green spaces. Herrema admitted that the Durham resolution will do little to change the federal government's decision. rite say News, Apa 13,19% 9 Ajax Civic Award nominations open All residents of the Town of Ajax are invited to submit nominations for the 8th Annual Ajax Civic Award.

The Kingston Road firm, a Pickering mainstay since the late 1%0's, stole the show at the associations recent Canada Design Competition, taking home seven awards — on only six entries — against designers from all the top Canadian design firms. Binns designers certainly carne through with flying colors and they were easily the most successful firm at the competition. That's quite a feat for a small company and one that has Raymond Binns justifiably proud "It really is quite an accomplishment but the big strength of our company is our designers," he said Raymond Binns himself earned a third place award at the competition for his kitchen design. The big Binns winner was brother Anthony, however. Anthony Binns took home a first for bathroom design and won the Ralph Witmer Award for Design Excellence — the competitions equivalent for best -in -show. Other winners from Binns Designer Kitchens include a first for Rory McLean in kitchen design, third place honors for Jan Regis for her bathroom design, both from the Markham location, and honorable mentions for kitchen designs for Steve Turner and Timothy McKee of Pickering. Raymond Binns knew going arta the competition that his firm wca do well but even he was surprised at their extraordinary success. "Our designers provide an inntegral part of our products," he said_ "Good products and a good design produce satisfied clients. We have a very professional design staff that were very proud of. It was a real team effort." The Brns designs will be displayed at the National Home Show at Torantos ex Mon grounds later this month.

ERING P4 April 13, 1994 * fie Bary Now Practice makes perfect at Durham Music Centre hen you learn how to perfect an instrument, work towards n'the music. Jay Jones likes to remember this phrase, spoken to him so often by his first music teacher. it's one he has 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 Jay's case, it meant achieving the next to impossible: making a living, making music. Born in Toronto, the soft-spoken, guitar playing owner of Durham School of Music moved with his family to a house on Kirkham's Road, property now home to the Metro Zoo. He was five. Jay's first school was Hillside, a three-room brick schoolhouse which still sits on Meadowvale 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, tympani, vibes, etc., and gradually developed an interest in guitar. "1n those days, the school 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 Ott." The haus of rehearsal paid off. "Being as bold and naive as I could be, I asked who was the best guitar teacher in the C ity." Following an enlightening audition, he became a student of Hank Monis, a guitar icon who to this day remains a good friend, "who drops in occasionally to let me know how much I still have to learn." Jay studied with Monis 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 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 cause. "It was awful," he laughs. "I never slept or ate, but I was young, I guess, so I could get away with it." When Mario decided to sell his business, no one was more disappointed thanJay. 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 the support of his fellow teachers, 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 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 over 500 students were enrolled in studies with the school's 35 music teachers — nine of whom were part of the original group. Many students have received awards and scholarships this year by participating in the local music festivals as well as receiving first place honor grades in Royal Conservatory examinations. After years of making his living at it, Jay Jones still loves making music. Currently Jay's time and energy has been directed towards the opening of a 16 - track recording facility at Durham Music with state-of-the-art digital recording. A picture hangs in one of the teaching studios which states the feelings of Jay and the staff at Durham Music Centre. The picture states "Music is like anything worthwhile in life. You get from music what you devote to it."

It isn t often that health clubs last for 10 years in the same location — our spa is one of the longest -running ladies health clubs in Canada — but president Jack Sharma believes it is the personal touches his exclusive, luxurious and affordable club offers that makes all the difference. "It's a relaxing environment with the European touch of elegance," he said. "Ilse club is designed to accommodate women after a hard day's work or a rigorous day with the kids. It's for women only and most women like the exclusivity, the privacy." European Women's Health Club offers personalized programs, aerobics and step aerobics, up-to-date fitness machines, a cardio centre, a sun tanning bed, a whirlpool bath and a sauna. Qualified staff also offer a variety of programs with flexible schedules, from 40 classes per week of aerobics to weight loss and gain programs and pregnancy programs, all set up according to a person's needs and abilities. Staff will also take all new members through a fitness test and we invite everyone who hasn't seen the club to join the Fit Team during the 10 -year celebrations. There will be prizes offered throughout the anniversary celebrations, including discounted prices. The party just got underway the first week of April and nuns to the end of July. We are inviting all former members back to the club for a special offer, and another look. Call 837-7758 for details. The Pickering location for European Women's Health Club is at 1735 Bayly Street, just east of Brock Road. We also operate a club in Whitby, at 1121 Dundas Street Bast. "The key today is to stay fit in our society. It makes you feel better about yourself. And at our club, the customer' gets everL;thing."

"Che optometrist can be thought of as your family eye doctor," says Dr. Mark Ftaimmons, 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 eye 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. a part th care In addition, Dr. Fitzsimmons offers a professional service called perceptual testing, geared to children with vision -related learning disabilities. Problems at school can often be traced to difficulties with vision. "Very few optometrists offer this service," Dr. Fitzsimmons said. An optometrist can also recommend and prescribe sun -screening eyeglasses. Given the concern about ultraviolet 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 chnic include Dr. Fitzsimmons, Dr. Joanne Malchuk, Dr. Kirk Narayar Singh and Dr. Emile Gikzeau. Examinations and tests are made by appointment by calling 839-5303. Civic 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. OPTOMETRISTS. DR. E. GILLEZEAU & DR. M.

There s no need, at this Ajax furniture mainstay, to change the decor of the room to match your new furniture. Every item is built specifically with your needs — and the styling needs of your home — in mind. "Everything is custom made. It gives the customer the ability to have exactly what they want," said Long Island's Glen Powell. "A lot of people come with pictures from magazines of things that really caught their eye, but they don't know they can buy it." "From the picture we can build it for them." Long Island Lodge Furniture has been serving satisfied clients from its Finley Avenue shop for two years now. The firm also has a showroom (opened in February) just a block away at the Discovery Bay Plaza. While not recession -proof, the company has enjoyed a great deal of success in that time because of their unique service. Factory assernbi hne furniture is a dime -a - dozen; customized, quality furniture is not. "Things went smoothly right from the start because we give the customer quality and we give them exactly what they want," he said. Long Island Lodge uses only solid wood — no veneers or particle board — and offers a wide variety of stains and finishes. They work mostly with pine, maple, birch, oak and walnut. All furniture is made right at the Finley Avenue workshop. The most common requests for the staff of six are for entertainment units, which can be sized for stereos, CD players, televisions, etc. Also popular are armoires, buffets and hutches, dressers, harvest tables and breakfast nook benches. A common misconception that many people have is to do with cost, Powell said. Many people think they can't afford custom-made furniture and that is rarely true, he explained. "A lot of people equate custom furniture with expensive furniture," he said. "But because we design, build and sell everything ourselves our products are usually cheaper than pre -manufactured furniture." "And it's better quality.

At the end of 1993 new development permits generated over $150 million in construction value; of this amount $115 million represents permits issued and $35 million to be issued in early 1994. That's an increase of 36 per cent over 1992. Residential construction accounted for almost $140 million. A total of 12 registered subdivisions, representing 819 housing units. For a second year newly leased industrial and commercial space has performed above expectations. The total is over 487,000 sq. ft. of leased space for the period March 1993 to Mara: 1994. Among the more significant activity was the Mazda (94,600 industrial sq. ft.) expansion to include operation from Montreal; Tar -ant Enterprises (41,000-91,000 commercial sq. ft.) new cinema chain; Shm line Windows (75,000 industrial sq. ft.) expansion; Cerwin Vega (14,000 industrial sq. ft.) relocation from Scarborough; Industrial Catering (16,500 industrial sq. ft.) expansion and relocation; Minacs Group Inc. (18,500 office sq. ft.) new from Oshawa and Ajax; Simcoe Engineering (10,675 office sq. ft.) expansion; Skyrmart (11,500 industrial sq. ft.) relocation from Ajax; and the 15,000 sq. ft. Mandarin Restaurant. In a progressive move to counteract the expensive lease rates in Toronto, Ontario Hydro is redistributing its operations and approximately 150 additional staff will be transferred to Pickering. A total of 51 new and expanding companies have chosen Pickering and include other smaller industrial businesses, medical clinics, retail stores and professional offices. As a partner in the Greater Toronto Area mayor's initiative to stimulate job creation, Pickering participated in three trade shows: the 'Telecon '93" telecommunications conference and trade show in Montreal; the "APAA/BIGI'93" automotive after market international exhibition and trade show in Las Vegas; and the 'CeBit '94" telecommunications and information technology fair in Hannover, Germany. The three initiatives were a resounding success and based on a clear recognition of how important it is to every community in the GTA to keep industries and businesses from locating elsewhere. Pickering will continue to play a leadership role in the GTA initiative through my office. Individually we will continue to promote Pickering as an enviable location for new and relocating companies. The marketing of a town to encourage strong economic growth takes a team effort and many presidents of local companies are ready to act as ambassadors for this community. Through the vision of Pickering's companies and their successes in both the Canadian and global communities, coupled Mayor Wayne Arthurs with all the activities of our municipal operation and the development industry, we have shown that strong growth is possible while the world is trying to adjust to new economic challenges. Indicative of the ongoing activity, many large scale construction projects are well advanced, or have been completed. They include: • Cougs Developments project at Brock and Finch; 75 townhouses approved. Their sales office is constructed and marketing commenced. The balance of the original project which includes a 10-15 storey hotel, an 8 -storey office building and 1500 sq. meters of commercial/retail uses will continue to be developed when the timing is right. • Trivest 6 -storey, 105 unit apartment project jusi east of Rougemount Plaza on Kingston Road, including units for developmentally challenged adults — expected to open in June. • Tridel's "Casitas" — 180 unit garden apartments/ townhouses in our town's main central area under construction (160 sold to date). • Torgan's 30,000 sq. ft. medical/retail complex at Glenanna Road and Hwy. 2 — completed and open. • The new cinema complex "Movie Plex 9" to be added to the Furniture Mail site — projected to open this spring. • The 15,000 sq. ft. Mandarin Restaurant at Brock Road and Hwy. 2 — opened in March. • 41 townhouse units at Bayly Street and West Shore Blvd. — near completion. • Phase I of Bramalea's 304 residential units at Twyn Rivers Drive (Valley Ridge) — complete — marketing for Phase U has commenced. • Saint Wilfrids elementary school at the south east corner of Brock Road and Rossland Road — to open in September. GOING UP: Pickwing's Civic Comdex is flanked by cranes working on the new CIBC building on Hwy. 2. • The new Schwartz medical building behind the old police station on Hwy. 2 — complete and open. • The Lymbird Lumber/ Home Hardware Project — complete and open. • Yorkville Sound headquarters at Whites Road and Hwy. 401 — complete and open. Several U.S. and Canadian movie companies now consistently work in Pickering including Top Cops, Road to Avonlea, filmed in Greenwood and Whitevale; Walt Disney's "The Ref" filmed at Port Pickering marina; Other World films — a General Motors commercials; Katja Motion Pictures — stock car chases and scenery, and TVOntario — "Ontario Lottery Live" — prebroadcasts. The complete development picture represents hundreds of millions of dollars in new construction, business opportunities and jobs... jobs... jobs. The Pickering Recreation Complex marked its 10th anniversary in the fall of 1993. The complex was designed as a people place and its quality programs and facilities are enjoyed by all ages. As part of the complex anniversary celebrations: A new ice facility addition was Officially opened at the complex on September 11, 1993. The new ice surface provides much needed space for the growing number of hockey, ringette, figure skating, broomball and pleasure skating users.

The Beverley Morgan Community Park on Liverpool Road at Pine Ridge Secondary School was officially opened and dedicated in her memory last June. This facility provides a 400 - metre all weather track, football/soccer field with lights, two soccer fields, two soccer/rugby fields and one m. for softball field, all adjoining hundreds of acres in the Duffirs Valley. The firehall south side of Finch, just east of Dixie Road is also expected to be completed and open this year. The urbanization of Woodview Avenue, Valley Farm Road and McKay Road, along with the reconstruction of tl.e Third Concession Road, Sanok Drive and Whites Road w'1i aso be finished in 1994. In September, garbage collection was extended to the rural area, north of the third concession; thereby creating a townwide collection service and now the blue box program is also extended to the Waal area. Public Works Week was observed by Pickering residents who participated in the storm drain marking program, promoting environment awareness. A budget of $17.5 million was approved for regional roads cortsiruction in 1993; just over $10.5 million of which was spent on Pickering's infrastructure, to serve local and regional needs.

After working for other paint and supply stores, the Pickering couple opened their own store in Scarborough nine years ago. They opened a store in Pickering in early 1992, "Our neighbors saw us coming home every night in our store van," said Jean, "and when they saw we dealt with Benjamin Moore and Para paints, they would ask if they could come and see us." Better than that, the Finches decided to open their own store locally, in Pickfair Plaza in front of the SuperCentre on Liverpool Road. Son Michael has joined in running the Pickering store.

I C, t -KERING r ROGRESS The say News •Agri! 13, 1994 P 15 OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM IS WORKING Bwsdale Montessori School celebrates their 25th year of educational excellence... and it shows! When you first walk into Blaisdale Montessori's grade one elementary class you are overcome with the level of academics and enthusiasm coming from the children. Six- year-oid children are working at a grade three WWI or higher. It's remarkable! The children are able to do this because the school allows the children to physically work with concepts that have traditionally been considered too abstract for the early grades. Since all lessons in the core subjects are done individually, children work at their own pace. The children never get bored or feel like they are too slow. Many of Blaisdale's elementary children have gone to BlaisdaWs pre-school (age 18 months to 5) so they already possess a solid foundation in the core subjects when they enter the class. School for these children is the way it should be; inspiring, challenging and fun. "Many of Blaisdale's former students have gone on to university and have gone on to professional careers," notes the principal, "but this is not the only benefit to our program. The school strives to bring out self confidence, self-esteem, self- discipline and the special qualities in each child. Every child has a special aptitude or ability, }anyone can be or do anything they want to in life. Children only have to have the belief that they can do it. This is instilled in the early years." If you feel unhappy with your child's present education, this is your answer. "When parents have concerns they should see us right away," says the principal. "Many parents come to us when it is too late and a is their children who lose out." Blaisdale is having an open house for children ages 6 to 9 at 415 Toynevale Rd., 509-5005. Blaisdale has another elementary program in Ajax (545 Kingstcn Rd., 686-5005). Spaces for both these programs are limited so it is highly recommended you attend as soon as possible, especially if you are not easily impressed.

Truer words were never spoken in describing Senator Homes' Pickering Village. Quite simply, it's the finest location in Greater Toronto's east end Other developers are green with envy when they see the site, located off Riverside Drive, just north of Highway 2 and historic Pickering Village, says Senator sales representative Debbie Hrkac. "Green" is also the key to the sites success. The homes are close to Riverside Golf Course, ad,'arent Town of 0 From Page P12 easterly will be completed in September '94. The region will assume Whites Road and to conservation lands and to the south is a neighborhood greenbelt with a man-made pond for skating in winter and plenty of trails. Families will also be able to walk from their backyards to nearby Duffin's Creek "It's a beautiful family neighborhood. You have to see it to believe it," Hrkac said. "Where eke will you find green on three sides and large homes in a private enclave that's perfect for families?" There are 19 styles to choose from, ranging from the 1,575 sq. ft. MarWalle to the 3,300 sq. ft. Ballantine. Senator is also constructing three model homes for families to get a first-hand Pickering acquired land related to the Hwy. 2/Altona Road and : Fairport Road improvements which will include signal fights at each intersection as part of the look. The models include the 2,475 sq. ft. Ingleside, the 2,575 sq. ft. Selkirk and the 2,600 sq. ft. Southport. The Southport, which sells for $259,990, features a California - style open concept with cathedral ceilings. The home also hosts a variety of "different touches" that set it apart, such as a unique three -sided gas fireplace and a huge family room and breakfast area. The other key to the success of the Senator Homes site in Pickering Village is quality of construction in every detail. The homes built by founder Angelo Breda and son Paul are always winning reviews from satisfied customers. Many of the families who have visited the site, in fact, came because of positive referrals from friends who bought Senator homes in the Brockview Estates and Ravenscroft developments in Whitby. It's no wonder. Every Senator Homes is created with great care and attention to detail. A key factor in the company's success is the thoughtfully designed floorplans. Created with the needs and desires of today's families in mind, they combine a practical use of all available space with contemporary appeal. Each Senator Home also features a host of today's most popular amenities. All clay brick exteriors are classic and distinctive. And the company's reputation for top quality workmanship has helped establish Senator Homes as one of the best homebuilders in the business. Along with fine homes, Senator is also known for creating superb communities. The professional planning and concern for the homebuyer begins at the moment the community is conceived. When Senator begins its search for the ideal location for a new community, it looks for a thriving area where families will have convenient access to shopping, schools, parks and aU the other amenities that are a part of day -today living. The Senator professionals plan communities to be warm, friendly and inviting. Streetscapes are carefully designed to blend harmoniously with their surroundings and create a neighborhood that makes family living truly enjoyable. The company's detailed planning has paid off - thousands of satisfied homeowners across Ontario can attest to that. Senator Homes is a family run business where your family has come first for more than 30 years. The company is dedicated to providing the best homes and communities available today, and is committed to building homes your family — and ours — will be proud to call their own.
