Tritium analysis was undertaken for raw water samples collected during a year-long quality sampling program during the periods August 1989 to July 1990, August and September 1992, and August 1993 to May 1994. On average, less than 15 becquerels per liter (bq/1), the unit of measurement, showed up in the study data. The regional report reveals the current Ontario Drinking Water Objective (ODWO) for tritium concentration is 40,000 bq/l. Following public consultation in January 1994 on the proposed lowered ODWO for tritium, the Advisory Committee on Environmental Standards (ACES) submitted in May 1994 to the Ministry of the Environment and Energy, a report on tritium standards which included in its recommendations that ODWO be set imrrt¢diately at 100 bqA and, since tritium is a human carcinogen, that the tolerable level of tritium in drinking water be further reduced to 20 bqA over five years. The intake for the proposed water supply plant is underway and is expected to draw water from a depth of 60 feet extended offshore at a distance of 8,400 feet. Currently, the water plant draws on water 30 feet deep and 2,000 feet offshore. The regional report shows tritium concentrations in Lake Ontario at the site of the new intake pipes between 5 bqA and 15 bqA. Hospital blooms For the second year in a row, Vandermeer Nursery and Garden Centre in Ajax has donated enough flowers and ornamental plants to fill all the flower beds around the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital. Snapdi"agarns, heliotropes, morias, gars, per, Wwfia, hibiscus, petunias and more have been planted on the hospital grounds. Small signs in the beds do* the various types of phids. The flowers make the hospiW a more peaceful, attractive place for paftals, moors and staff," says Tracy Paten on, Director of Development and Cmmamity Relations.

Despite the heat, Durham Region officials are asking A lady was standing i in the aisle of a crowded bus, both arms full of packages. There were many men aboard but not one offered his seat. However one gentleman tapped her on the shoulder and whispered, "Lady, be on your toes at Maple Street. That's where I get off. " e " Wd aaa mss, &C'W 1025 oundas St. Wed. WHITBY oaai 6684792 • noe> 686.2228 residents to limit lawn watering, car washing, sprinkler use and pool filling after water levels dipped to near -emergency levels. Local residents at even - numbered homes are being asked to water their lawns only on even -numbered days and citizens living at odd -numbered houses are requested to water their lawns only on odd - numbered days "until further notice." The combined production of the Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax water supply plants could not meet the recent high demand, according to a regional report. The Cherrywood reservoir in Pickering, in fact, shut down Sunday night at 8 pm and area residents were out of water until 2 am Monday morning. Requests went out on CHOO radio in Ajax and CFRB in Toronto on Saturday, asking local residents to limit all non- essential use that evening and while the demand did decrease, the plea wasn't able to prevent the Cherrywood reservoir from shutting down. Other areas in the Ajax - Pickering water system experienced isolated low water pressures but no outages. The Rosebank reservoir dropped to 35 per cent and the Finch tank dropped to 53 per cent of capacity. By Monday morning the Cherrywood tank was back to 50 per cent. But, based on past use patterns, Mondays are the peak demand days of the week and there could still be water shortages this week unless residents ration their water use, said Ajax regional councillor Roger Anderson, a member of the region's works committee. "Unless there is a decrease in peak hour use the Cherrywood Reservoir will be empty," Anderson said at Monday night's council meeting. "This is just another reason why we need a new water plant." The new $65 million water plant, which has already been delayed (it was supposed to be operational by 1995), is not expected to be up and running until 1998 at the earliest. The new plant will be able to pump 36 million gallons of water per day. At maximum output, the existing Ajax water plant produces only 12 million gallons daily and when demand reaches emergency levels - like last weekend - another 12 million gallons must be piped in from the Whitby and Oshawa plants. "It's weather like this that makes the implementation of the new water plant - and its capacity - that much more important," Anderson said. The depleted reserves in Cherrywood could also cause emergency problems in the area, Anderson added. If there was a fire on the weekend in the community pumper trucks would have to be brought in to supply water. Ajax Fire Chief Tony Mintoff said Ajax is not in a crisis situation yet, although Mayor Jim Witty noted that it was "safe to say that if it continues as they are things could get dicey." Water restrictions are also in effect in parts of Metropolitan Toronto and York Region with reservoirs there also dipping to dangerously low levels. ads a go onAjax `Transit busesolitical By Glenn Hendry It took three meetings and hours of debate but the Town of Ajax has decided they will allow political ads on town Mises and shelters during the November municipal elections. The decision means town councillors could have saved themselves the argument: they ended up right back where they started. The political advertising debate made a final appearance at Ajax council Monday night when councillors spent 90 minutes rehashing the issue. Ward 1 councillor Frank Schaper repeated his previous committee arguments that allowing candidates the opportunity to buy space on Ajax Transit vehicles makes for an "unfair playing field" to those who can afford it and gives the impression that the town is not "fair and equitable." Ajax Mayor Jim Witty disagreed, pointing out that council - "on its high horse" - could be sending out the wrong message by banning political advertising. Regional councillor Susan Dulny agreed with Witty, noting that residents are mart enough to realize allowing the ads is strictly business. "The town is neutral and I think people are educated enough to know that," she said. "And we're in a busiiess here. We're revenue -driven." Schaper, however, said he received several calls from residents who claimed it was "inappropriate" for the toum to have allowed it during last year's federal election. The original motion to allow the political ads lost 5-3. An amended motion to ban all politically -motivated ads (not just municipal ads) also lost, this time 4A on a tie vote. A final motion, to ban municipal advertising, also lost 4-4, reverting the by-law back to its origu form and making the debates exercises in futility. Council was told that the Toronto Transit Commission does allow political advertising, with certain restrictions. WILDWOOD FORD SALES LTD.

Ajax's top citizen By Glenn Hendry From a love of family comes a love of community, says Joe Dickson, the 1994 Ajax Civic Award winner. "I feel humbled," said Dickson after becoming the eighth recipient of the town's highest public award at last Wednesday's gala at the Ajax Community Centre. "The best part of my life — all of my life — has been spent here and I felt my family grew to 60,000 people this night.' Family matters were on his mind when Dickson, a former regional councillor and a declared Liberal Party candidate for the next provincial election, accepted the award. He was briefly at a loss for words and visibly moved by the honor, especially when he gave thanks to his greatest motivators, his family. He gave special thanks to his father Lou (who was in attendance) - "the purest and best volunteer" — and his mother Mary — "a very special person," — as well as his wife Donna, their two children and his eight brothers and sisters. 'I felt the town and the whole area was part of my family. That's why I was so important for me to speak of my family." Dickson's career as a community volunteer and organizer began early: he started a minor basketball program when he was a student at Ajax High School more than 30 years ago. The responsibilities of being a member of a large family contributed to that task and laid the foundation for the rest of his life. "1 learned early there was only way to make things happen. You had to do it yourself,' he said. "Helping people has always been a part of my life." Since then the former president of Dickson Printing and Office Centre (he recently sold the business) has sponsored 23 children's and adult sports groups and has garnered a number of community awards, including Citizen of the Year by the Ajax Jaycees. He has also bee - active in the United Way, the '` I Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society. Dickson also spearheaded the first Ajax Family Festival (it has raised more than $80,000 for the Ajax -Pickering General Hospital and $10,000 for local seniors) and is the founder of Ajax Home Week celebrations, now celebrating their 24th year. "1 have known Joe for 24 years and he has exemplified what volunteerism is all about,' Citizen Joe Dickson said Ajax Mayor Jim Witty, who served on Ajax council with Dickson and presented him with the award. "Everybody in Ajax knows Joe Dickson and everybody has a story about one way he has helped then' "ft's safe to say he has been an example I have tried to follow over the years.' First elected to Ajax council in 1980, Dickson became regional councillor in 1988 and announced his intention to seek the Liberal Party provincial nomination in January. While his accomplishments seem ovenuhelming, Dickson insisted in his speech that the there were others in the community who should have been standing on the stage in his place. 11 believe there hundreds, if not thousands, of people out there in this community who are more deserving than myself," he said.

Objection filed for fast-food restaurant The hotly -debated Ajax council decision to allow a Wendy's restaurant on the south-west corner of Harwood Avenue and Highway 2 — in the heart of the "new" downtown — may be headed to the Ontario Municipal Board. The town received a notice of an objection from the Mangos family, the owners of Pickle's Restaurant. The restaurant is across the street from the proposed development, which is also expected to include a Business Depot outlet, a Royal Bank branch and several other retailers.

POLICE BEAT Boy killed in car crash A nine-year-old Etobicoke boy was killed when a car driven by his mother went out of control and rolled over on Sideline 28, just north of Highway 7, in north Pickering Friday night. Jonathan Tobin, who police say was apparently not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Markham-Stouffville Hospital. Maureen Tobin, 27, lost control of her 1994 Nissan Ultima just after 11 pm. The car went into a ditch and rolled over, ejecting Jonathan. Maureen Tobin and a five-year- old son who was also a passenger escaped with minor injuries. Both were treated and released at Marknar ..Stouffville Hospital. There were no other vehicles involved in the accident. Durham Regional Police say the accident is under investigation but impaired driving charges are expected. An Ajax man faces a host of drinking and driving charges after an erratic driving display on Highway 12 in north Whitby Sunday night. Police received a call from a North York couple who observed the suspect in a 1988 Ford pickup driving erratically and shaking his fist at other drivers. The suspect proceeded south on Highway 12 to Highway 401 and then west to Harwood Avenue. The driver was arrested by police on Bayly Street in Ajax. Norman Harris, 29, of Poplar Avenue, is charged with dangerous driving, impaired driving, driving while over the legal alcohol limit and possession of a small amount of narcotics. A joint Canada Post -Durham Regional Police investigation into mail theft led police to the Westshore Boulevard home of Pickering, where they found approximately 100,000 pieces of of undelivered mail. The letters, which took up 100 cubic feet of space, were unopened, police say. Charged with theft and possession of stolen property is Tanya Cleveland, 26.

Since 1919, when William McEachnie first became licensed as a funeral director, the family has been serving the community in its own unique way. This year the McEachnies celebrate their company's 75th anniversary. Historically, with cabinet-making probably the common bond, funeral homes were usually linked with furniture stores. And so it was for William McEachnie and Robert Tedford when they opened their funeral home/furniture store operations in Hastings and Norwood, Ontario. In 1944, William, his wife and son Bill, moved to Pickering Village to take over a business operated by C.A. Sterritt and, as everyone knows, McEachnies remain a part of the village to this day. The original McEachnie Funeral Home was located on the north side of Kingston Rd., slightly more than one block west of where it now stands. The building, which dated back to 1861 and later became a bake shop, has since been claimed by fire. But by that time, McEachnie had moved to larger premises, not far from its present location. The attractive edifice we see today was built in 1960; expansion and remodelling in 1989 brought it to its current 18,000 sq. ft. Its early 1900s exterior motif was designed to be in keeping with much of the architecture in historic Pickering Village. Bill McEachnie, following in his father's footsteps, guided the family business until his retirement earlier this year. His sons, David and Scott, are the third generation of McEachnies to become licensed as funeral directors. Dave, with over 20 years as a funeral (Erecta, is a past president of the Bay of Quinte Funeral Service Association (which inchAes Durham Region as part of its area) and a Masonic Lodge Past Master. He and his wife Nancy have two sons, Luke (age 12) and John Craig (8). Scott McEachnie, a funeral director for 12 years, is current president of the Bay of Quinte association. He had his wife Marie have three children: Marc (10), Nikky (8) and Patrick (4). So far, there's been no word of whether any of the children will continue in the family tradition. On February 23 of this year. tf e `a ;.:: celebrated Bill's retirement. On that same day, the McEac:_:P F_ -.t-2' Horne became part of 75TH ANNIVERSARY: McEachnie Funeral Home directors Scott and David McEachnie. OPTOMETRISTS. Or. E. Gillezeau Dr. M.

Narayansinsh WE INVITE NEW PATIENTS BY APPOINTMENT WE OFFER FAMILY EYECARE 6e2-1175 8344303 Arbor Memorial Services Inc. through its subsidiary Trillium Funeral Corporation Inc. Dave McEachnie was pleased with the decision. "Arbor owns 57 funeral homes across Canada," he say, "so now we can transfer all across the country. As part of a corporation, we can do so much more. One of the main benefits is that we can give back more to the community — services that a small family-oamed funeral home can't do." Perhaps most important is Arborcare, a service designed to help clients deal with their grief in the loss of a loved one. Specialist Louise Hermette is available for co-ordinating needs of the bereaved with community bereavement programs. For grieving relatives living elsewhere, "We can direct them to someone in their own area," notes Dave. Being part of a corporation also means freedom from the accounting end of the business, allowing more time. "With six licensed funeral directors, we now have more time to spend out in the community and with our families," says Dave. "We are now meeting people at trade shows, which makes it easier for people to walk in later, when they need us." In addition to Dave and Scott, McEachnie Funeral Home also employs full-time funeral directors Teresa Kupch, Jennifer Laurie, Glen French, and part-time, Darren Mason. "Our Mom died 25 years ago," says Dave. 'We were born and raised in the family business. We have always said that this is our family serving your family. Funerals are changing and we have to change with the needs of the community. We have a tradition of caring." For Dave, that tradition includes answering the phone, even from his bed in the middle of the night, for anyone in need of service. Happy Anniversary McEachnie Funeral Home, and thank you for 75 years of personal care. Charity car wash to benefit hospital A group of emergency services workers are hoping to raise $2,000 for the Ajax-Rickering General Hospital at a charity car wash June 25. Representatives from Ambulance Services, the emergency ward nurses and firefighters from Pickering and Ajax will be on hand at the Mackenzie Plaza on Bayly Street between 10 am and 5 pm to spruce up your car while raising money for a good cause. The car wash fee will be an easy -to -take $5 and the day will include clowns, cowgirls and a barbecue, with plenty of coupons available to all participants.

How "fair is this GST? A few weeks ago, a friend got into an argument with a clerk in the Salvation Army's local thrift store. Incensed at having to pay GST, his logic was faultless: if someone had already paid GST when they purchased this nearly -new chair, and the Sally Ann was given it, why then should this charitable organization have to charge and remit the tax again? The cleric had no answer, of course, because the GST makes even less sense than the ludicrous tax system it replaced. To those of us who are passionate about reading — understanding its vital link to education — the GST is an abomination. If reading equals learning (possibly leading to finding a job), how could any thinking person slap a heavy tax on books and other reading material? But promises in the face of public pressure haven't changed a thing: the government has remained firm (albeit apologetic) and literacy continues to be a very expensive problem for Canadians everywhere. The major "dailies," in chronicling the Latest round of disputes, report that now, in addition to "blending" the GST with provincial sales taxes, the latest great idea — in order to be "fair" — is to add it to everything we need and buy: food, prescription drugs, and on and on. Like you, we know when we're drowning, but the one bit of solace in all of this has always been the belief that at least we're all in this together. So imagine our surprise — and anger — when we learned that we aren't all being uniformly gouged by this tax; that someone is being favored. And who might that be, if not the Sally Ann? Why. who else but the labor unions? Unions are big business, offering their members, as "customers," many of the same services found in the outside world. For people not protected by unions, private personnel agencies find jobs for workers, financial advisors, investment houses and pension fund managers assist in spending and investing our hard-earned dollars; law firms go to bat for urs when we have been mistreated by an employer — and all are required to charge, and remit. the GST while unions, for some reason, have been spared this annoying responsibility - Why is this? Unions are not charitable organizations; their employees are not volunteers; thew top officials earn the hind +of money most of us will never see. With aupwards of 500 leaden, this country's unions lone -third of which are foreign controlled) are happily sitting on and controlling over $1 -billion in dues, collected annually. Surely the income of these unions, along with their massive investment incomes, >irhouki be subject to the same tax laws that .apply to any other company within this country. In fad, if looked at squarely, even union members should recognize that they are being ripped off by the very unions which ;profess to serve them. Government deficits cripple us all. As ::health, education and welfare budgets :;continue to be scraped to the bare bones, our :unions simply grow fatter~ Shouldn't we be asking why? f Peter Wdoaw PLANNING PROTEST: Pickering residents unhappy with the town's proposal to allow four -storey buildings in the Walnut Lane and Hwy. 2 area include, from left, Edith and Kingsley Welton, Randy Vaine and Ted Clifford. — Letters — Gun control not acrime-stopping solution Dear editor: Before I make comment, 1 must make it clear that I am not a hunter. 1 dont own any guns and have no desire to buy one. I am not a member of any gun chub. My letter is sparked by the recent advertisements the Pickering Rod & Gun Club have been running in The Boy News. These ads present some very interesting figures from StatsCan regarding guin usage in the commission of oxime in Canada I can see no reason that this data has not been fairly and aoaaately presented. To do otherwise would only harm the credibility of the members of the aforementioned gun dub and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. It troubles me that a gum dub had to spend their own money to bring things to our attention that the government is apparently not telling us. A few weeks back a yang woman was brutally murdered in Toronto while settalg eating dessert in a downtown restaurant. Last week a Metro Toronto Police officer was murdered as he attempted to investigate a break-in. A second officer was injured at the same scene. These acts were committed with firearms. 1 would speculate that all of them were illegal firearms (i.e., sawed- off shotgun, unregistered handguns, etc.) The media reports, however, indicate that in both of these cases the suspects were supposed to have been deported from Canada some two years ago. For whatever reason the deportations never occurred. It is also dear that the place a person is born is neither the sole or prime problem here. Many other recent valent crimes — not just with guns — have been committed by offenders that were out on early parole, had a lengthy previous criminal record or are protected by the infamous Young Offenders Act. Following these recent acts of violence, our provincial Premier and our Prime Minister once again appeared before the public wringing their hands and making speeches about how we absokitely mut enact much stricter gun control legislatim rust as they have done many times in the past. Why is it that our elected officials cannot see that obvious failures in the Young Offenders Act, criminal justice, parole and/or immigration systems are at the root of the problem here? Why is it that they don't jump in and make desperately needed changes to these systems? When will they see that "stricter" gun controls are the symptom rather than the cause? When are they going to wake up? How many more police officers or inracent citizens are going to be killed before they do something? Unfortunately this leaves myself and others wondering just what the government is trying to accomplish when all they can do is claim that we need stricter gun controls. So I checked with a friend who does legally own a handgun. Until now I didn't realize the lengthy process involved in being able to legally obtain a handgun 1 wonder how many others are aware of it or do they,as I did, think that anyone can easily get a handgun? To obtain a handgun my friend had to apply for a Firearms Acquisition Certificate through the local police firearms unit (who checked for any criminal behavior or mental instability in his background before issuing it), join a gun chub, take the club's course on gun safety and handling, get a letter from the club certifying that he had successfully completed the cotase, take the letter back to the police firearms unit and apply for a handgun permit, receive a home visit from the firearms unit to see where he planned to store the gun when he got it and then apparently go around interviewtiq all of his neighbors to be sure he was a stable individual and not a neighborhood problem. After everything checked out — and he paid a fair amount of motley at many of these steps along the way — he got the permit to purchase a handgun which he can now legally carry in his locked trunk between his home, the gun dub and back. Nowhere else. And he has to keep it securely cocked up when it is at his home. I wonder exactly how much stricter the politicians can make gun control without banning them altogether. Then again, is it possible that banning of all guns — not just handguns — is the ultimate goal they are working towards? And why? It certainly doesn't look like it will do anything to help reduce the number of gun related crimes that occur in Canada. When will they start to deal with the real problems? Rick Armstrong, Pickering The Bay News • June 22, 1994 7 Aiax chap in fee structure �n:... lons g g ror es:::. to elimintedis ut es Ugly, costly and violent. These are the three words which best describe public service strikes. ..:Who can forget the nasty Public Service Alliance of Canada strnke in 1991 in which striking "civil" servants intimidated, threatened and assaulted those who wished to keep doing their jobs? Unfortunately, Canada may be in store for more of the same as public service unions, at all levels of government, are in a bad temper these days and itching for a fight. They are angry because all across the country, cash-strapped governments are cutting costs wherever they can. For public service workers, this means wage freezes or cuts or layoffs. Various public unions say these economies are unfair and are voicing their opposition increasingly loudly. From coast to coast, public service unions have mobilized demonstrations and/or threatened strikes. To date, however, their threats have fallen on deaf ears. It's not hard to see why, In this day of massive deficits and over- burdened taxpayers, governments can no longer afford to dole out the kind of wage increases and job security guarantees public service workers once took for granted. A major factor which bolsters government resolve is that Canadian voters have little sympathy for the union's plight. In fact, with unemployment hovering at the 11 per cent mark nationally, most Canadians would probably say it's high time public servants faced reality. Why should private sector employees be the only ones enduring wage rollbacks and job losses? Certainly this seems to be the prevalent view in Alberta where Premier Klein s popularity actually increased to more than 50 per cent after he faced down thousands of public servants angry at his government's tough austerity measures. Klein's success will likely encourage other governments to follow his lead. Indeed, they have little choice. The impending deficit crunch will inevitably force governments to impose even deeper spending cuts in the years ahead. Public service wages, which a C.D. f luwe Institute report recently estimated were 15 per cent higher than private sector wages, will be increasingly targeted. That leaves public unions with a choice. They can either face fiscal reality or they can escalate their war against governments with strike action. L.et's hope the unions opt for the former coupe. When governments and public service unions go to war, it's innocent bystanders who get caught in the crossfire. (David Somerville is President o/ The National Citizen's Coalition.)

Existing fees are based on the value of construction but disputes often arose between the two sides over the actual value of the development, especially on large projects. The new fees will be based on a fixed fee for dollars per square metre of construction. Most municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area, Ajax council budget advisory committee members were told, use Toronto Real Estate Board figures as the measuring stick to set permit fees. Since the recession, however, the figures were often higher than the actual construction cost, leading to more disputes. A local builder, who is currently developing a site in Ajax, is involved in a court action with the Town of Whitby over the value of a project, in fact. To avoid similar problems, Ajax's engineering and works department was asked to seek a better way to charge building permit fees by drafting the new building permit bylaw. Mississauga and Vaughan a already have similar bylaws in place and Pickering is currently reviewing their bylaw with action pending. The proposed bylaw has been circulated to area builders for comment and engineering and works director Frank Hull told committee members he hopes Ticket Information (905) 428-4747 1 to have the by-law enacted by July 18 and in effect by August 1. There may be some variations in new fees, dues to different classifications, but the proposed bylaw is not expected to increase building permit revenue to the town, Hull said.

I stand out there with swarming mosquitos or pouring rain or begging dogs, slowly turning myself into smoked meat while the wife and guests chat up and have a merry old time inside. I make excuses to go in to join the party, but someone always yells: "Fre!" and they all look at me as if rm a leper, so I feel obliged to go out to discover if anything is still edible. The odds aren't good, considering the foot - high flames and fire extinguisher residue. Also, I'm a horrible chef. But my approach is professional: I have all the tools, the books, wardrobe and other accouterments. And I've taken courses. Even one given by the fire department. My theory is that barbecuing started with cave men squatting around a fire. It harkens bads to a certain macho spirit of hunt, chase and kill. The wife says I should exercisemy spirit t on mice, not meat. And like the cavemen, who cares if the meat is dirty, bloody, hairy or all hacked up? That's what burning is for. Cave women must have subsisted on roots and berries, judging by their contemporaries who appear to prefer salad and fruit to my burnt offerings. It's crowded around my barbecue. rm stuck off in a corner where the dogs are always underfoot, ready to chomp on any wayward morsel or hand that smells like it. There's a loose shelf hanging precariously off the grill which I always dislodge onto my big toe. There are the table and deck railing cluttered with my array of tools, condiments, spices, sauces, dishes and emergency supplies. With a drink -cum - flame -dowser in hand, I wield an oversize spatula to swat flies and flip meat with abandon. I never remember to dean the grill, but that crusty build-up doses the spaces where pieces fall to burn faster than the rest. I'm forever searing hand hair mining around in the coals for some lost treasure. Which is more difficult now that flavored smoking's all the rage. Certainly my mesquite and hickory chips rage beyond control. I prefer pressboard chips from the old outhouse: they're free and there's so much smoke I can't smell anyway. For some reason it always blows in my face. Usually as rm hopping about on one foot clutching a Woody big toe. My automatic starter has never worked, especially when 1 run out of propane. I've poured buckets of cold water on the tank to check the condensation line that's supposed to indicate fuel level, but all 1 get is wet feet. So in fear of flame -out, 1 barbecue fast. On high. Standing in my puddle of water and wet dogs and blood. The cave men were probably more comfortable. ~Craig ... NICHOLSON We f � The lid won't stay up and gets stuck when dosed. The handle comes off in my hand. One side is cool, the other Hades. If I give my spatula too jaunty a flip, the meat disappears down a9 Ping maw or over the railinginto the dirt. If I have recently squished a fly, I either wipe it off on pant leg or meat. I prefer clean clothes. When everything appears under control, I need only slip inside briefly to incite the towering inferno. My trusty spray bottle drenches flame and meat alike. Neighbors make a study of interpreting my great billowing smoke signals. Guests wonder how 1 get my food steamed. Usually it's me who's steamed. The wife wants me to barbecue all summer. Go figure, she never eats meat at home. But I persevere, even in the pouring rain, which never seems to start until I reach the point of no return with everything on the grill. What I like best is that mistakes are easy to hide. Cheap cut? Burn it. Too much dirt? Ditto. Fly remnants? Scorcharooney. With judicious manipulation of burning's three degrees, I can make everything look and taste the same. Smother it in garlic or Tabasco or teriyaki or sweet and sour — or if it's really a lost cause, all of them — and guests either don't notice or don't eat. Rare orders were problematic until 1 discovered that a dog can lick meat just as clean as a flame. When all is black, 1 make my triumphal entrance. I often wonder why the table is always so crowded with other food that there's no room for my platter. Why do I even bother barbecuing? Maybe I should try something other than hot dogs. r � - QQQ ,. 094 30 f t Redwood from only $1 3 9 999 +FRT. & Prep Includes: 2 door fridge, stove, furnace, dinette, full washroom,1 or 2 bedrooms, sleeps 8.

IJ 994 * The &W News Culture: -the state of the arts N Green On Wednesday, June 15, the Pickering Arts Council hosted a well -attended social evening at the Pickering library. Intended to bring together and encourage input from local organized groups and individuals interested in arts and culture, what was no doubt expected to be an everting of quiet discussion with a speaker/moderator, soon developed into a highly literate, at times almost angry debate, as, one by one, virtually every person in the room made his or her vocal contribution — emphasizing, over and over, that arts groups, throughout most of Durham, continue to be poorly served by municipal and regional governments. Speaker Bev Boyle, vice-president of Community Arts Ontario AJAX AND PICKERING GENERAL HOSPITAL AJAX ONTARIO ANNUAL CORPORATION MEETING Notice is hereby given that a General Meeting of the Members of the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital will be held at 7.-00 p.m. Tuesday, June 28, 1994 in the Hospital Cafeteria.

"Seventy-five million dollars in taxes is paid, in Ontario alone, by artists anrually," she stated, adding that while it costs just $20,000 over a five-year period to train someone for a career in the arts, training for most jobs is estimated at over $200,000. Emphasizing that cultural attractions draw life and activity into any community — and dozens of spin-off businesses — "An investment of $1 million in funding for the arts will turn into $24 million, within one to two years, in revenues back to the community," she noted. "And this in turn would create anywhere from 300 to 400 jobs. Arts and culture are fundamental to the environment in any community, they are not just a frill." To prove her point, she added the following statistics: while 31 per cent of all Canadians attended a sports event in the past 12 months, 42 per cent attended events in the performing arts. "More than money, it is a mindset," she added. "Benefit to the community is key." Statistics aside, our community arts and cuhtual groups continue to face a myriad of obstacles. local municipal councils have had difficulty attaching any importance to cultural activities. Community arts groups have watched with dismay as politicians have found funding for ice pads while most of these organizations report difficulties in locating rehearsal space or even permanent meeting rooms.

Deciding to put all its eggs in the most approachable basket, it has centred its assault on Pickering: patiently waiting in line, hoping the next bit of available municipal funding might somehow come its way. Pickering council has at least shown some interest: placing Councillor Maurice Brenner (who has been severely criticized for his continuing absence) on their board and, more recently, creating an expanded Culture and Recreation Department, headed by Steve Reynolds. Attempts to elicit response from Ajax Council have been disappointing: put off by the "Pickering" name, Ajax has seen no reason to pay the group very much attention. Only Ajax Councillor Steve Parish (who was also in attendance at the meeting) has become a staunch ally in the search for an Ajax venue. One point, however, must surely have been driven home to the Pickering Arts Council by those in attendance at the meeting: local arts and cultural groups do not feel that they should be contained by political boundaries. In admitting that at least half of the creative people and performing artists they serve come from Ajax, the Pickering Arts Council has also acknowledged that a new image and a name change are in order. And the latter could take awhile to accomplish. It is hoped that local artists, performers, writers, musicians and all those interested in culture and the arts, will begin to strengthen their ties with each other — a good first step would be joining the Pickering Arts Council. An abundance of amateur and professional talent exists within our community, talent which deserves recognition and a place in which to flourish.

S: Pickering ' 4...� no 4204M IM ra f NOW FM 190 on w l Prov, incial cash boosts local school boards By Glenn Hendry Ajax and Pickering will be the major beneficiaries of more than $26 million in jobsOntario funding for school construction in Durham Region. The Durham Board of Education received approval to build a new elementary school (with child care spaces) in the Applecroft community in Ajax as well as additions to Highbush and Mapleridge schools in Pickering. The total cost of these three projects total $9.25 million, with the province chipping in $5.6 million. The Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board will receive $6.9 million in funding to construct a new school in Oshawa and to build an addition to St. Patrick Catholic School in Ajax. The total value of the projects is $15.4 million. "It's a growth area ... (and) this funding will help the boards with their desperate need for school spaces," said Durham West MPP Jim, Wiseman, who said Durham was in the "top four or five" on Ontario's priority list. "The number of portables will be going down and our children will have access to quality education in Durham," Wiseman added. "They'll have access to clean, new, efficient and bright schools. It'll also mean the congestion at existing schools will be reduced." The funding was originally for the 1996-97 school year but officials from both boards want to start construction "as soon as possible," Wiseman said. As well, the program will provide $3,190,474 to the board for renovations and additions to 34 existing elementary schools for junior kindergarten classes. Ten local schools will benefit, including additions to Valley Farm Public School in Pickering and Westney Heights Public School in Ajax, worth $320,000 each. The province is also providing $35 million over the next two fiscal years to assist school boards implement junior kindergarten programs. Ontario school boards are required to offer the program this September, although some boards will be allowed to phase the program in over three years. 'Junior kindergarten helps many children prepare for the more formal schooling that is to come," said education minister Dave Cooke. 'Parents want junior kindergarten because they want their children to have the challenge of learning in a new and different setting." "It's an important investment in the future." The local funding, plus the Durham board's share of the costs, will generate work valued at more than $4.2 million and create an estimated 50 person- years of employment. Approvals of the projects follows an announcement from the education ministry that the province will provide $620 million in capital funding for Ontario school boards through the 1996-97 and 1997-98 fiscal years. The funding will support 176 projects throughout Ontario. These include 63 new schools, as well as number of additions and renovations to existing schools, and the constwion of child care spaces. The projects will create space for 39,605 pupils and 1,720 child care spots. Words —Bf..

Don 11 m .1.S. - Police on alert after workers fight at house site Durham Regional Police are still on alert at a Pickering housing development after a fight last week between union and non-union trades people that injured two people and sent one to hospital. More than 300 trade union members and non-union workers fought Thursday afternoon after the union workers, protesting poor wages, knocked down a partially constructed house at the Greystone Homes Ltd. site at Whites Road and Finch Avenue. Police said it took nearly two hours before order was restored. No arrests were made but Staff Sgt. Sandy Ryrie said police would be on duty this week to monitor the situation. There was also unrest the next morning at a Whitby site when approximately 60 union workers tried to persuade workers at a Taunton Road and Brock Street site to walk off the job. Police were also at that scene but said there were no major problems. The union workers are upset that workers, such as framing carpenters, are being paid about 25 per cent less than they are supposed to be paid on several contract jobs in the area.

You I vvn i f 14 June 22, 1994 7he Bay News GM driving force in business program at Durham A unique partnership between General Motors, the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, the University of Waterloo, Durham College and three other Ontario colleges has been established to design a new supervisory training program which combines actual experience in the workplace with classroom studies for a college certificate and/or diploma. The result — a series of 24 new courses offering studies and training in business leadership for front-line managers and supervisors. The colleges involved — Durham, Fleming, St. Clair and Niagara (all located in areas that have GM plants) — have worked very closely with General Motors to identify the courses needed to educate supervisory staff and develop a program to meet those needs, building on the previous experience that staff may have. The pilot class which began in January and included supervisors and prospective supervisors from General Motors locations across Ontario, was such a success that the program is being considered by other companies. Following the pilot project, feedback was used to revise the material and course r - THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM PUBLIC NOTICE • Take notice that the Regional Planning Committee has received AN APPLICATION TO AMEND THE DURHAM REGIONAL OFFICIAL PLAN The amendment, as submitted by the applicant, proposes to redesignate the site to permit retail warehouse uses and other commercial and employment uses up to a maximum gross leasable area of 23,225 square metres (250,000 sq. ft.).

Chairman,Commissioner of Planning Committee Planning manuals were distributed to all the colleges involved, providing a generic program that could be offered to the community. Courses offered at Durham College have been compressed into a four-week period of intensive study and practice, giving the participant the option of moving quickly towards completion of a Business Leadership Certificate. The program includes a Prior Learning Assessment portfolio workshop. Candidates who have already gained a level of college -level learning through work and life experience, or various non-credit courses through self-directed study, may seek course credit through the prior learning assessment process, which if successful, may reduce the number of courses they need to meet the requirements of the certificate or diploma. The Business Leadership program also includes communications and presentation courses, human and group behavior, computer literacy, workplace legislation, continuous improvement, managing processes, quality management. coaching and counselling and cost analysis. Individuals completing the first year of the program are eligible for a certificate while the second year completes the requirements for a two-year business post- secondary diploma.

"But its also a chance to fine-tune emergency communication skills. We use generators and battery power, and we set up antennas in the field. The idea is to put together a self-sufficient, working station quickly and make contacts." The ARRL and RAC field organizations have been effective in establishing emergency communications nets during floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and other minor disasters. The league estimates that more than 35,000 hams participate in Feld Day each year. SPARC's Field Day operations will be at Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, at the foot of Whites Road, Pickering, at Rogers Acres picnic area on the lake shore.

"Nothing ever happens because of one person," says Farr, referring to the cash contributions and the volunteers who oversee the annual charity event. Pickering councillors agreed in principle last week to continue supporting the $2.65 levied on taxpayers as the town's budgeted contribution towards the campaign. Farr estimates Pickering's contribution at $58,592 this year. "Corning before council prior to the actual campaign kick-off date of September 14 lets us, at this time, have some money in place," she explains. ?he agency is responsible for more than 25 human care services." She also notes that the United Way witnessed last year an "alarming growth" of those in crisis situations turning for help. At Ajax council, the town of Ajax will consider bumping up their contribution to the campaign to $2.65 per household during next spring's budget deliberations, to bring their grant in line with contributions from neighboring Pickering. Ajax is committed to a contribution of $2.42 per household this year but town council will give "serious consideration" to increasing their contribution next year. "This council has traditionally paid the same, on a per capita basis, as the Town of Pickering," said Ajax Mayor Jim Witty after hearing a plea for more support from campaign chairman Louise Fan. "It's only fair that we pay the same." Ajax grant has been frozen at $2.42 per household for two years. With nearly 20,000 homes in the town, their contribution was $47,500 last •�.x Mayor James Y. Witty and Members of Ajax Town Council are proud to announce a special treeplanting ceremony that will take place at the Ajax Waterfront on Friday, June 24th at 7:00 p.m. At that time, four trees planted at the waterfront will be dedicated to the memory of the following persons who have made outstanding contributions to the Town of Ajax.

Farr, in asking for the increase, told councillors the needs of the charitable organization are increasing, with a shortfall expected. Last year's total goal was $1 million -plus, a goal they fell just short of. "if we had a million dollars, just imagine the individual victories we could achieve," she said. "But we can only do so much." Peter Beateay, the United Way executive director, pointed out that the organizations the United Way serves "always ask for more than we can afford to give." Each year the agency reviews, in priority, vital human and health care services applying for money. One of the responsibilities of the chairperson is to ensure cotutcil matches, at least, the same budgeted amount as the previous year. But Farr is quick Tales for a s to add that this is only one of the many responsibilities the volunteers take on. "We have already had over a dozen meetings," says Fan, who is also past chairperson for the Durham Board of Education. "And we have started some of the fundraising already ... we have to spread it out." United Way agencies have raised over $9.4 million in contributions. The organization depends heavily on corporate contributions with 67 per cent of donations coming from that sector. Municipal grants, small business, individual contributions and developers contribute greatly as well. Two more charities have been added to the local United Way roll this year and the chapter is looking at two others as well, making fundraising even more dtffiadt, Beateay said. ,ummer's eve The catatyard complex in Pil mnng Village hosts the third annual Tales for a Summer's Eve storytelling series which begins June 29 and runs for six co sea1W Wednesdays.

'The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customers home," explains Wayne. "So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples." When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which youll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Tech Weld 2000 series of vinyl windows which you re free to operate and yodil also discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. "After being involved in this business for the past 17 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market," says Wayne. "They're tripled sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware." If you so desire, you can also choose the Low -E -Glass which filters out the ultra violet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate the fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty and a ten year guarantee on the installation. Wayne would also like his customers to know that he does all of the estimates personally eliminating the cost of a salesperson. "I also, along with a helper, do all of the installations," he says. 'This is to ensure that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price." Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa or phone (905) 579-2222.
