Waste Management of Canada Inc. (WMA, submitted a proposal to GTA mayors to haul landfill by rail to the company's WMI's Herrick Valley facility, 573 km away in Adena, Ohio. Metro and other GTA municipalities have been actively searching for a willing iandfill hast since last December. The 542 -hectare site has the potential to hold 36,750,000 tons of garbage over a 24 -year lifespan, manager Bob Webb said in an interview. "there is no local or regional aquifer located below the site," he pointed out. Because of the confidence Waste Management has in the construction, operations and monitoring of the site, the company is prepared to support the proposal with a financial indemnity agreement, a pact that puts the financial onus on the company to pay up if any damage occurs to the environment through the landfill site. Located in a remote, rural setting, there are only a few residents -w.:~ :: a mile of the facility. But most important, says Webb, the community is "most receptive" to the landfill facility and has declared themselves willing hosts. The local residents have also signed Host Agreements and have gone through the necessary public hearings and notice criteria. The Host Agreement for this community will add approximately $70,000 annually in royal ies, bring a water treatment facility to Adena and refurbish the town. Those municipalities sending landfill by rail to the new facility do so without any interruption to the existing garbage pick-up established in their community, Webb said. "Municipal solid waste will be compacted and loaded into containers at municipally operated transfer stations as garbage tacks deliver it." The containers win be transported to terminals which are loaded dailv onto rail cars for transport to Herrick Valley for disposal. The rail cars (between 55-120, depending on daily incoming volumes), will be taken off the rail cars and garbage will be unloaded into tricks for delivery to the site. The rouatd trip from Pickering will take about eight hags, Webb sad. A disposal service agreement has also been made between WMf and the United States to protect the agreement, Webb added, as a safeguard to the proposal in case new laws are enforced prohibiting cross -bonder mouernent of waste. George Kely, director of solid waste management in Toronto, says the Toronto ootstdlors are "looking at the possibility" of rail hauling lartdlfil to the U.S. Becatse the proposal is new, disomions are still "orgairg" and there are many tmarauered giestions such as tipping fees, he said.

Ajax executive and development committee approved a works department request to spend the rest of the town's federal -provincial infrastucture allocation — more than $3 million worth — on badly needed road improvements. The decision, arrived at last Wednesday, means Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish's dream of a theatre/library project in the Harwood Avenue-Bayly Street area will not come to fruition, at least not in the next five years. Instead, the town will reconstruct Mackenzie Avenue, (dubbed by Mayor Jim Witty "the worst road in Ajax") at a cost of $897,000, resurface Rands Road ($144,000), resurface a number of pre -1973 road ($1,714.000), resurface Dowty Road and Fairall Street ($190,500) and resurface Monarch Avenue from Bayly "We are just around the cornea!" nal Speciality Durham's service andpers ..r.ti..aa ..tui Contacts complete P""' BW, c•`reept ".

Committee members also agreed to add traffic lights at the intersection of Ravenscxoft Road and Westney Road at an approximate cost of $40,000. Parish, who had been spearheading efforts to bring a cultural centre to town since the infrastructure plan was announced in February, was not upset by the committee decision, however. He supported the decision, in fact, calling it a "good, sensible, if unexciting" :Hove that will save the town thousands of dollars in the future. "I'm disappointed, but I think it was a realistic decision," he told The Bay News. "I don't think there was sufficient time for the planning and developing of a cultural centre." Spending money on road improvements and other capital projects also frees up town money for ogler projects in the future, including a cultural centre, Parish pointed out. Besides, he added, the issue is now being discussed, both in council and among community group members who have thrown their support behind Parish's dream. All the councillor wants to ensure is that the item gets on the town's five-year planning document, expected this fall. "To me, it's still a high priority...it's gone from a nowhere item to an item that people are talking about," he said. "I think the seed has been planted. At least, I hope so." Under the guidelines for the infrastructure proposal, a prime election plank for Prime Minister Jean Chretien last fall, the federal and provincial government's will each pay one- third the cost of job -creating municipal capital projects. The projects have to be 35 per cent complete by next March and 85 per cent finished by March 1996. Ajax works director Frank Hull said the time frame for the road projects wouldn't be a problem. Tenders for the work will be sent out this week and most of the projects could be started within two months, provided Aiax receives aooroval from the infrastructure fund administrators. Hull also offered councillors a second option that would have included reconstruction work on Christina Crescent and Georgina Crescent, but committee members decided the industrial road work was a higher priority. Ajax already approved spending $2.1 million of their allocation (the tab will be picked up by Runnymede Development) for the construction of the Carruthers Creek pumping station in south Ajax. Ajax Challenge begins Friday It's time for Ajacians to receive their passport to fitness during Active Fest, from Friday to next Wednesday.

Celia Dearn, a Marksbury Road resident in the south Pickering neighborhood, was killed Feb. 11 when her house was destroyed in a natural gas explosion. Dearns home hadn't been hooked up to natural gas for 20 years. Utility company workers are finding more leaks than usual in the community during their regular leak survey program although Paddy Davies, the general manager of operations for central region, hastens to add that only "very minute quantities" of gas have been detected. "if anyone fears natural gas — and it has a very distinctive odor — please give us a can and well be there," Davies said. Most of the homes in the community were built in the 1960s, using copper piping that is now corroding. Replacement relay service pipes are made of steel or plastic, Davies said. Lesley Middleton, a Moretta Avenue resident, is one of at least three homeowners on her street who have been visited by Consumers Gas workers. Last week they were digging a hole on her front lawn to lay the new pipes, although they won't be ready until next week Middleton said she wasn't overly concerned about the gas leaks. She said she believed the Consumers Gas official who emphasized that the gas leak was not linked to the fatal explosion in February and lauded the company for their prompt action. "I asked the man if we should be concerned about this and he said no, if it was (a concern), he wouldn't be there," she said. 'rm just glad that Consumers Gas is looking into this and fixing the problem. One tragedy is enough." After the Marksbury Road explosion town officials had promised there would be 'absolutely no evidence" of gas migrating into local sewers. - -COUPON-----------� WEDDING FLOWERS — � GETTING MARRIED IN 1994? � Book your Wedding Flowers Early OFF �• 50% Our rar ` Coupon not varid r combination with any other fifer.

Pension funds and various health and social support systems will experience significantly more demand. That's why the federal government has started to consult and plan its strategy for making sure today's seniors, and those of tomorrow, can live healthy, secure and independent lives. Today, seniors have higher and more stable incomes than they did at any time in the past. The number of seniors living on low incomes has steadily declined since the 1970's, largely because of increased government transfer payments. In 1990, only 15 per cent of seniors were living on low incomes, barely half the 1980 level of 28 per cent. The federal government plans to reduce this number even further by targeting assistance to those who need it most. This, however, does not mean Oki -age security payments to today's seniors win be alt. The government is working on an aging society discussion paper which will assist in developing a comprehensive approach to providing health care and financial and social support for seniors. In the meantime, existing programs will be maintained exactly as they are, for the stability and security of those who depend on them. In the recent budget, for exampie, the federal government did not place any spending restrictions on the old age security program. Seniors need more than money to be independent; they require good health, comfortable housing, mobility, freedom from abuse and social and community involvement. The federal government will assist in these avenues by ensuring that medicare continues according to the principles of the Canada Health Act. In addition, the government will work with the provinces to provide safe, affordable housing so seniors can continue to live on their own in their communities. The government will continue to support a five-year study on the causes and prevention of elder abuse and act on its recommendations. As well, the government will establish the seniors directorate within Health Canada to focus attention on seniors issues. If you are interested in obtaining further information about the seniors directorate and the National Council on Aging you may write to the Seniors Directorate, Health Canada, 473 Albert Street, 3rd Floor, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A OK9.

Ajax Council's Executive and Development Committee has just approved the first building permit application covered by their new Site Plan Controls for Pickering Beach. Do you know Pickering Beach? It's that quiet little community beside the lake in southeast Ajax, the one with the big old trees and the beauties of nature, where the joggers and the strollers like to go. Its the one that had been dozing peacefully for almost seventy years, until the developers realized it was ripe for the picking and started taking over four years ago. You've maybe seen some of the letters to the editor, or watched some of the council meetings on cable TV when the people of the Beach were trying in vain to defend their homes and their community. But they didn't have a chance, of course. Money spoke louder than any sort of logical appeals, and the people of Pickering Beach are not wealthy. Council used tax dollars to Pay the lawyer, engineer and planners to defeat them in their appeal process, since the Beach people did not have the required $50,000 to pay for their own lawyer. The Ontario Municipal Board concluded that they were satisfied that Ajax council would ensure that any new or renovated homes would be "compatible with the existing Pickering Beach atmosphere." We are about to see our first "compatible" house, belonging to Shane Wasmund, of course, the developers' leader. It will be 89 feet wide, three times the width of the two adjacent neighbors' homes, with a triple garage attached to the huge house already towering threateningly just four feet from the neighbors lot line and casting their kitchen into darkness. Councillors Pat Brown and Steve Parish tried to inject some reason into the decision, calling the proposed structure massive and completely incompatible, but they were outnumbered by the Pickering Beach developers' darling, Susan Dulny, and the "Bigger is Better" trio of Mayor Witty, Roger Anderson and Jim McMaster. The Ajax planning department had no objection to this size house, but of course this is the same planning department that told the OMB that they saw no problem allowing 6,600 sq. ft. homes among the 1,000 sq. ft. bungalows now at Pickering Beach. How can they even dare to call themselves planners? So rest assured, fellow citizens; our towns future is in good hands. You too may someday get your very own neighborhood monster homes, five or ten times the size of your own. They call it progress/development/ democracy — Ajax council style. Janis B. Mitchell Ajax . our world. Even those of us who suffer with allergies have to admit that there is something very special about this time of year. Seeing dead ground spring to life, watching buds and leaves reappear, inhaling the smell of freshly cut grass — oh yes, this is magic time. We can't keep our bird feeder full. Where were all these little guys when we needed them around to brighten winter? The squirrels have transplanted some of our tulips; we now have one growing in the middle of our lawn. This was a very tough winter. Those among us who are intrepid gardeners mourn for the plants which didn't survive; we speak soh words of encouragement to those which are still struggling. %Tww•! For awhl1e there we thought we'd lost that rose. A trip to the local nursery finds us once again rubbing shoulders with the annual mob. Petunias anyone? We can't help feeling smug. We who can call ourselves veterans in this gardening game have had flowers now for weeks. Because we know how to plant bulbs — in the fall — so we had flowers peeking up through the snow and daffodils which braved the harsh spring rains, and tulips, even the one in our lawn. We pass on our gardening tips to strangers: straightening them out about this bulb thing. No, we don't bother to dig up our bulbs like those town gardeners do. Waste of time. We leave them down there, below all the annual plants so they can double up and triple and surprise us in spring. And each fall, we add a few more. And wow! You should see our garden now! So now it's time for petunias. There are those who say Ajax is ugly, that Pickering lacks color and charm. Well, this is the time of year that proves otherwise, as our town gardeners go to work, transforming plain little patches of ground into floral works of art; spelling out town names in flowers — almost rivalling the carpet of dandelions beautifying the 401. And a special salute to the genius who, .many years ago, decided it might be nice to _plant flowering trees down the centre of ::Harwood Ave. We look forward to this beautiful blast of color every year as we " secretly celebrate our own little blossom festival. s, With another "most beautiful garden" contest coming up this summer, ;enthusiastic gardeners throughout Ajax Y< begin to chip fxlgernails, develop terminal - iwrgnails, and cultivate green thumbs. And j4dcering gardeners set out to prove once =Itgain that they can even outgarden the prolessionals. Thank you, one and all. We Jwho love beauty appreciate and applaud your efforts!

Ajax Council's Executive and Development Committee has just approved the first building permit application covered by their new Site Plan Controls for Pickering Beach. Do you know Pickering Beach? It's that quiet little community beside the lake in southeast Ajax, the one with the big old trees and the beauties of nature, where the joggers and the strollers like to go. Its the one that had been dozing peacefully for almost seventy years, until the developers realized it was ripe for the picking and started taking over four years ago. You've maybe seen some of the letters to the editor, or watched some of the council meetings on cable TV when the people of the Beach were trying in vain to defend their homes and their community. But they didn't have a chance, of course. Money spoke louder than any sort of logical appeals, and the people of Pickering Beach are not wealthy. Council used tax dollars to Pay the lawyer, engineer and planners to defeat them in their appeal process, since the Beach people did not have the required $50,000 to pay for their own lawyer. The Ontario Municipal Board concluded that they were satisfied that Ajax council would ensure that any new or renovated homes would be "compatible with the existing Pickering Beach atmosphere." We are about to see our first "compatible" house, belonging to Shane Wasmund, of course, the developers' leader. It will be 89 feet wide, three times the width of the two adjacent neighbors' homes, with a triple garage attached to the huge house already towering threateningly just four feet from the neighbors lot line and casting their kitchen into darkness. Councillors Pat Brown and Steve Parish tried to inject some reason into the decision, calling the proposed structure massive and completely incompatible, but they were outnumbered by the Pickering Beach developers' darling, Susan Dulny, and the "Bigger is Better" trio of Mayor Witty, Roger Anderson and Jim McMaster. The Ajax planning department had no objection to this size house, but of course this is the same planning department that told the OMB that they saw no problem allowing 6,600 sq. ft. homes among the 1,000 sq. ft. bungalows now at Pickering Beach. How can they even dare to call themselves planners? So rest assured, fellow citizens; our towns future is in good hands. You too may someday get your very own neighborhood monster homes, five or ten times the size of your own. They call it progress/development/ democracy — Ajax council style. Janis B.

Forty-four per cent of the samples tested positive for salmonella. The health department decided public education is required to minimize the risk of illness from retail sources, Perrault stated. "The goal is to warn (people) that the potential of the animal carrying salmonella is quite high. If you are gang to buy one you should be extra careful." A department request that pet stores post health warring labels on terrariums and aquariums has been favorably received, according to Perreauh. The health department suggests washing hands with hot, soapy water after handling pets or their surroundings, monitoring children to prevent them touching their mouths with dirty hands, keeping aquanums, terrariums and cages clean, changing tank water often and being extra careful when pets are sick. "Always approach these animals with the same, proper precautions," warned Perreault, adding good routine personal hygiene is necessary. There is no need to discard pets "unless you have very young children and you re very concerned," said Perreauh. It is impossible to determine 9 a pet Is infected and, if it is, there is no need to treat the animal itself, he added, insisting artbiotxs would only make the animal more resistant to the bacteria. Heakhh departrne> t may test aquariums for salmonella if owners are infected and suspect 7. their pets are carriers. A water sample wit be taken from the pet's home to determine if the owner has contracted the same organism. Identical organisms mark the pet as being the sauce of infection. "Every year we have a few rases of children who become quite ill and hospitalized," said Perreault, adding "if we can -save a few people from being hospitalized then (the survey) paid off." Bob Murray provides Alter Native Art By Kim Duncan, DHS co-op student Bob Murray started his working life at 15 as a millwright in England. He now makes his home in Ajax and his living as a full-time artist. Murray founded Alter Native Art, the only group whose artists paint directly on log houses. "I dori t believe there's any other company (in the world) who does what we do," he told The Bay News. Murray began his log house painting expedition two years ago, assembling a group of well- known artists and hiking out on an artistic trail to success. "1 prefer to paint on more natural mediums," Murray said in an interview, explaining that bare walls in a log home "need something that will grab people." One log home painting can take three days to a number of months. Prices range according to the type of logs and amount of time :nvoved Murray and his group of artists (Ken Syrette, Harold Rice, Douglas Fox, Paul Livingston, Randy Knott and Dorsey James) paint on diverse surfaces including furniture, buckskin, wood, moose hide, rock, canvas and ceremonial drums. Murray, whose style is eastern woodland native, uses only black, white, blue, red and yellow paint. "Native art has very much a spiritual base. Most native art has a message, either ecological or spiritual," said Murray. Each of his figures is composed of various animals and beings, every one playing a distinct role in the chain of life and an "important piece in the puzzle." Murray paints subjects numerous times, making each slightly different and restricting himself to limited edition originals. When asked why he paints native art, Murray, a non-native, explains "the message is more important than the messenger." International exposure by P~ waa�.r ARTFUL Pkkering artist Bob Murray founded Alter Native Art to further the work of native artists. Garbage • From Page 1 The agreement allows Metro to maintain ownership and through its transfer stations Metro will be able to control the tipping fees it charges its customers. Similar agreements would be offered to those municipalities participating, such as Durham. According to Webb, if Toronto turns down the proposal, the GTA could participate on its own. Waste Management of Canada is the largest company of its kind in Canada. Their pilot project to haul garbage by rail has been operating for four years in Oregon. Muir's Log Home Guide magazine led to inquiries from Europe and the United States and Murray hopes to get responses from Japan. Alter Native Art sends artists worldwide. The client pays for airfare, hotel accommodations, food and transportation, on top of the artist's fee. An Alter Native Art show and sale will take place Saturday, June 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 6 Andelwood Court, Bowmanville. The voluntary one dollar entry fee will be donated to the Bowmanville Salvation Army and a percentage of all sales will go to Atenlos Battered Native Woman's Centre. For more information call (905) 427- 4419. Reflecting on his life, Murray is glad he changed careers. "I love art and I hated millwrighting," he said. "This is a much nicer job." Tho Bary News • Moy 25, 1994 9 No fair shake in Ottawa for Ontario Aiding voters The town of Ajax has sent a message to Ottawa that west Durham is under- represented on Parliament Hill. Councillors are upset that the federal Liberal Party suspended a review of federal ridings and are demanding the government re -think their decision. The reviews are done every ten years or so to reflect changing population patterns in the country. As Durham is one of the fastest growing regions in Canada, councillors believe the area would have gained seats in the House of Commons if the review had been allowed to go ahead. "Every person's vote should be roughly the same as the next person," said Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish. "There's close to 250,000 people in Ontario Riding and other ridings in Ontario have only 75,000. That's significantly out of whack ... the area around Metropolitan Toronto is under -represented." Ontario Riding MP Dan Mc T eague was in the Ajax council chambers earlier this month and told councillors then that changing the federal ridings was not "fiscally responsible." McTeague said his government would look at "creative" ways to achieve parity and balance in the House but would not DURHAM'S LARGEST GARDEN CENTRE support increasing the tax burden by adding extra seats. Parish, however, believes it was a "politically motivated" decision of the government to suspend the review. "My personal suspicion is, when you win 99 seats out of 100 (in Ontario), the last thing you want to do is redistribute the boundaries." Council did agree to amend their motion — despite warnings from Parish and Ajax Mayor Jim Witty that the change would dilute the intent — to ensure the final recommendation did not include adding seats to the House.

When I PHS co-op student couldn't respond we continued Recently I learned to listen when no one is talking. I participated in a simulation entitled It's a Deaf, Deaf World presented by the Oshawa Deaf Centre. The idea is to help people understand how frustrating it can be for the deaf to communicate in a hearing society. It's something I never thought about. I do now. The Harwood Room at the Ajax Community Centre was transformed into the complete opposite of a society that caters to those who hear. This small community consisted of stations representing a bank, a travel agency, a grocery store and more. Volunteers awarded points on a scale of one to five to those who communicated effectively without speaking. To be caught talking was a direct ticket to jail — do not pass Go, do not collect $200. These people were serious. What struck me the most was the silence. It was unlike any social event I had ever attended. Loud shouts of greeting from across the room, the hum of whispered gossip, the constant din of intermingled conversations — the room was devoid of all these. Instead, 30 friends and strangers used sign language to make introductions and talk about the weather. In the first 15 minutes everyone's hands were in motion but mine. There were conversations all around me and I couldn't understand a single word. To say I felt alienated would be an understatement. By the time the game actually started, there were, at most, ten of us who did not sign. Our first stop was the American Sign Language (ASU class. After a demonstration of a few key words and phrases I felt I could communicate effectively and off I went to the doctors office. I have new felt as incompetent -as I did after that first station.

Minor Sylaaa rice Prer<idens of Edacasion he old oke, How iia :ou' et to': J Y g Carnegie Hall? — Practice, practice, practice,' reminds us of a behavior that, all too often, is in short supply among students today. Shabby homework habits place many students at a disadvantage in the classroom and, later, in the workplace when as professionals they compete against their global counterparts for good jobs. No one knows exactly to what degree homework impacts learning, but recent studies illustrate a dramatic correlation. A survey of eighth -grade students in 11 countries revealed that students who devoted the most time to homework — eight to nine hours per week — had the highest average scores on tests. Meanwhile, U.S. and Swedish children, spending an average of four to five hours a week on homework, had the lowest scores. Homework's role in the educational process is critical. it reinforces skills taught in class and provides an opportunity for the student to apply his or her new knowledge without teacher supervision. ,11though there is no 'magic number' for the amount of hours a child should study, I recommend these guidelines: elementary school children should study up to two hours each day. Junior high students should spend between two and three hours each day on homework, and high school students might do best with approximately three hours. Of course g sP endin time on homework asignmenu doesn't guarantee success. No amount of time will improve your child's knowledge of material or concepts if he lacks proper study skills. A sound base of solid study skills can improve your child's academic performance, inside the classroom and out, and provide your child with more free time for other interests. Ironically, study skills such as time management, note -taking, flexible and active reading strategies, listening, organization and planning are not part of many school curriculums. Students often develop their own, less effective, study skills through trial and error. .If your child's study time is not translating into good grades and high test scores, she may need help in developing fundamental study skills. A wise parent will address this shortcoming sooner rather than later when bad study habits are entrenched and difficult to overcome. Your local Sylvan Learning Centre or school counsellor can guide you to the proper remedy for your child. Sylvan Learning Centres' special Study Skills Program may be appropriate. It empowers students with the study skills they neem to successfully master new materials or concepts and prepare for tests and projects. The outrome is a confident student who can ex,,el in the classroom and the workplace. :all the ,Ivan 1.earnin4 Centre in R hath% it P4 1819 for more information.k From reading to math, Sylvan Learning Centre' helps children make the grades.

"Ontario continues to face a critical shortage of affordable housing, and these pilot projects will add a different and very viable option to people who can afford to pay the cost of carrying a mortgage, but are unable to access conventional financial," said housing minister Evelyn Gigantes. Under the pilot projects, new homes will be sponsored by community-based organizations and first mortgages will be provided to homeowners by private lenders such as banks, taut companies or credit unions. A variety of innovative hawing approaches will be used. The ministry will be responsible for administering the pilot projects. The $50 million will be used as a loan guarantee fund to back second mortgages for home buyers. The hones will be built by private developers. It is anticipated that households with annual incomes of $25,000 and up will be able to own their own home under the projects. No up -front funding from the government will be required. The community-based organizations coordinating each project, along with the first mortgage lender, will be responsible for verifying that people wishing to purchase a home through this initiative are able to carry the costs of the mortgage. These pilot projects will also create jobs and support the building and construction industries. Over the next six years, the construction of 2,600 homes can support 4,700 jobs. It estimated the cost for these houses may be in the $75,000 to $140,000 range. "These innovative pilot projects will complement the province's housing programs — such as the construction of non-profit and co- op housing, the Ontario Hone Ownership Savings Plan (OHOSP), rent control, Ontario Housing, shelter allowances and others," Gigantes said. "Ontario will have an excellent mix of options to address the challenges of our complex housing market." The next step for the pilot projects is for the ministry to invite Proposals from community-based organizations — such as private and municipal non-profit corporations, housing co-operatives and charitable institutions — from aaoss the province. It is expected this will take place after all of the project's administrative details are in place, likely by mid -summer.

Councillors only agreed with the concerns of Norma Leetham, Wasmnard's need -door neghbo; who claimed the Wasmund project is causing a drainage problem on her property. Wasmund agreed to look into solving the problem, with consultation with the Ajax engineering department.
