Claredome costs escalate like Skydome By Marjorie Green In a news release dated June 23, 1994, Kip Van Kempen, regional councillor for Ward 2 Pickering, has blown the lid off what is becoming known in some quarters as "Claredome." The Claremont Community Centre project, planned to be funded by the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works Program, has come under considerable fire since being approved for funding by Pickering council in March. The project, which would include a fire hall, library and community centre component was originally estimated at a cost of $2.1 -million. With most of the price being borne by the Infrastructure Works program, the cost to Pickering taxpayers was estimated at $880,000. However, the infrastructure application, signed by the mayor, town manager and treasurer on June 17, now indicates a cost of $2,636,653. Up to now, the most controversial aspect of this proposed use of infrastructure funds has centred around Claremont's size. It has been Continued on Page 2 Councillors argue public accessibility By Glenn Hendry is Ajax council open enough to the public? Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish doesn't think so. is Parish trying to create a scandal where there is none? Regional ca oxillor Susan Dulny says Yes - Harsh words flew fast and furious Monday night after Parish alleged the actions of Ajax council are not open and accessible enough to the public. His accusations drew mixed reviews from fellow councillors after he demanded the site plan for a development proposal in east Ajax be sent to committee of the whole (where all councillors have a vote) and circulated to all affected landowners instead of the executive and development committee (E and D) for a vote. Parish, who has been bucking for a change in the committee structure since he was elected in 1992, wants all important development proposals to be discussed at full council instead of the Thusday afternoon E -and D committee, which is chaired by Parish adversary Roger Anderson.

The process used in determining need has also been questioned. With press and public barred from a series of closed door meetings over the past few months, the size and scope of this proposed new facility was determined by a small group of "interested parties." Van Kempen states: "Councillors, other than those invited by the town manager or the mayor, were not allowed to participate in the meetings or have any input into the resulting decision-making process." He goes on to add that 'The meetings, for which there are no notes or minutes available, were nothing more than an opportunity for this small group of Claremont residents to present their wish list of facility requirements. And that is exactly what they did." In his news release, Van Kempen details nine areas of concern with the Claremont proposal: • This proposal was approved at a March council meeting without the benefit of committee review or public input. • There has been no needs analysis performed. • The public and the media have been barred from any meetings which have taken place. • Real estate has already been purchased by the Town without an appraisal being done. • A $250,000 contract was awarded to an architectural firm without calling for tenders or reviewing competitive proposals. • Projected cost increases of over $500,000 have been accepted without question and without discussion by members of council. • The continued use and/or renovation of existing taxpayer funded facilities in Claremont has not been discussed with or examined * coundl or the pubiic as a whole. • The ongoing opera•; oral costs of the facility have not been identified, dsassed or discosed • The other funding partners (provincial and federal goverm-nents) have not given their approvals to the project yet funds have already been spent. In addition, the signed application for funding clearly indicates that this project will create exactly one-and-aiquarter jobs. With the goal of the infrastructure program being that of creating long-term empioysnent, Var. Kempen asks, "How does this project, estimated to cos: in excess of $2.5-m1on, meet the prograr.'s job creation goas?" "As Regional Councillor for Ward 2, 1 believe this project should be subjected to a thorough review," he states. "1 will not argue against needed renovations to the replacement of the firehall and I will support improved library facilities. However, given the facts, 1 will not support this wanton expenditure of taxpayer dollars without a great deal more justification than has been presented to date."

'I can see councillor Anderson's objection. E and D is the private bailiwick he chairs that's held on Thursday afternoons when most people are at work and cannot attend." Dulny rose to Anderson's - and council's - defence after Parish's comments, claiming that Ajax council, who hold open houses for every important proposal, is already an open and accessible body. 'We've always been open," she said. 'These are just some cheap shots, as far as fm concerned." The debate was sparked by a proposal from Cougs Investments Ltd. for a mixed-use commercial and residential block on the southwest corner of Pickering Beach Road and Highway 2. Parish had a number of problems with the proposal - he called it 'Just another strip plaza" - and tried to introduce a series of amendments to the plan. Most were shot down, including one that called for the site plan to be heard first at committee of the whole. He was not without support. Ward 5 councillor Pat Brown and Ward 1 councillor Frank Schaper both agreed that open houses are not enough and Parish even received the unusual support of Ward 2 councillor Scott Crawford. Parish's motion still lost 44 on a tie vote, however, with Ajax Mayor Jim Witty casting the deciding ballot. The Cougs proposal will go before full council for approval Monday and the site plan is expected to be heard in late July, before council's summer recess. The development company hopes to start construction on their project this year.

Words -Of - Wisdom – Joe Dickson Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, "1 was wrong." And when right, the mature person does- n't have to say, "I told you so." Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by It. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities, then do noth- ing. Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are mas- ters of the alibi — confused and cis - organized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business and good inten- tions which never materialize. Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change.

Durham's finest race for charity By Glenn Hendry When a squad of Durham Regional Police paddlers hit the water on Canada Day for a 30 - mile charity race across Lake Ontario, they will be racing to win. But the big winners will be three charities in the 11th annual Great Lake Race, with Down Syndromes Association of Ontario, Addiction Research Foundation and Community Centre 55 the beneficiaries. 'Fundraising is the mandate here; we don't want to get into a cut-throat thing,' said Gary Foxwell, an Ajax constable and returning member of the team. -However, it is a competitive race and we want to win.' The Durham police team will be up against 10 other entries in the Canadian class (traditional 'voyageur -style' 26 -foot, 210 pound canoes), including teams from Metro Police, Metro firefighters, CHCH TV and the Toronto Sun Last year the loci paddlers finished fifth in a field of 15 in the race, which starts at Niagara -on -the -Lake and finishes at the exhibition grounds in Toronto during the CHIN Pk c. The marathon race will take faa- and-a-half to five -and -a -half hags to complete. "We're hopeful we can crack that 'fifth' barrier,' Foxwell said. 'It's a challenge and d's going to a good cause. " The entry fee for the race is $4,000, plus 5250 for each of the eight crew members. So far; the team has raised $9,000 and hopes to drum up another $1,000 by race day. All proceeds benefit the charity. The squad also includes Greg Sands, Keith Morndesire and Dave Flood (Pickering), Chris Kemp and Ian Corby (Whitby), Garth Moore (Oshawa) and Moore's 'Little Brother,' Scott Roesch. Training began May 1 and the crew put in two hours of hard paddling three times each week. Corporate sponsors include General Motors, Durham Regional Police Services, R. Reininger and Sons, The Outdoor Inn, Phil Bryan and Associates and Uni Strut. Donations can be made to Inspector John Hamilton at the Ajax detachment and made payable to 'Community Centre 55'. Save small business, says Ajax political candidate A campaign veteran and seven-year resident who believes Ajax is becoming a "ghost town" has entered the race for the Ward 1 seat on town oournct Edward Alphonso, who canvassed for federal candidates in three elections, announced June 22 he will go after the seat presently held by Frank Schaper during November's municipal election. Alphonso said high rent, mantenance and profit taxes are the main reasons small businesses are having a tough go. He suggests rent reductions of 15 to 20 per cent as a way to attract more small business. The restructuring of the education system, including assurances that young people — "the Canada of tomorrow" — learn to handle conflicts without violence, is also high on Alphonso's priority list. The candidate also saved a few choice words for the incumbent council, saying that residents are ready for "new ideas' for a "new community! "Five years ago ... we enjoyed...snow removal and garbage pickup twice a week, including that of grass. Today our taxes are higher, we have no pavement snow removal, once a week garbage pickup and as of 1995, no grass pickup," Alphonso said in a press release. "But yet our local politicians, who never seem to be around to provide the _ community with comments, keep raising taxes and small business are dying.' "We only hear from our local municipal government a few months before election. What happens after election? We neither see nor hear what is going on imour community. I think it's time the people are heard."

While Durham Board of Education approved the staff recommendation Monday night for a consultant to, among other things, look into these issues, a similar motion brought forward by Ward 2 regional councillor Kip Van Kempen to hire a consultant to investigate the situation was turned down. during Monday night's Pickering council meeting. Farr emphasized that a consultant will look into "all student program needs," not just portables and traffic. The two issues have been discussed in tandem during several Pickering �c�ouncil/committee meetings this year. A motion introduced by Van Kempen and Ward 2 local councillor Eileen Higdon asking that the Durham Board of Education not add any further portable classrooms to Pine Ridge Secondary School and nearby Maple Ridge Elementary School in the Liverpool Road area, was defeated in February. Pine Ridge Secondary School has 12 portables on site and is asking for six more to be delivered in time for September. "but seven as a precaution," Farr said. Farr was quick to add that the board's planning department knew before the high school was built that they were aiming for 18 on-site portables overall.

Brock Road ...:: -Li seas wash g awayDragonbo"' at flub dreams . . . .... .. ..... . ..... .. By Glenn Hendry Mother Nature did not smile on the Toronto Dragonboat Club at the world championships in Hong Kong last week . The 22 -man team, which includes six local paddlers, learned the hard way that no matter how hard they train there are still some things that are out of their hands. The squad, the defending bronze medalist in the Oriental sport and fresh off their second straight world title the week before in the 18 -man event, were wising along with a healthy lead in the semi- final in Hong Kong harbor when disaster struck. A huge wave rolled over the front of the boat, nearly sinking it and sending half the crew into the drink Frantic bailing wasn't enough, said Pickering's John Hollins, the coach of the team, but the crew was not prepared to give up. Those still in the boat bailed and paddled and the capsized members swam and shaved the 26 -foot boat the final 40 metres to the finish fine, only to lose fourth place - and a spot in the final - by less than a second. - I guess we learned to control the things we can do best and can control. The waves we can't control," said Holfins. "lt just wasn't going to be our day." The consolation prize for Hollins' crew was a subsequent "petite final" victory but the win was bittersweet. 'We were third last year and we knew we were bgtter this year. It's disappointing." There were 32 teams from 23 countries in the race, which is declared a national holiday in Hong Kong. A team from China broke a six-year Indonesian stranglehold to win the title this year. Upon return to Toronto the team split up their crew, added a few other members and promptly won the mens, mixed and women events at last weekend's Dragonboat Festival races at Centre Island. Local crew members at the 22 -man world championships included Jason and Bradley Bridger, Jamie Hollins, Christopher deGrauuw, Anthony Maley and Greg Salter.

Jrne 19, I994 5 McKay House to be saved by Runnymede Ajax council assured the existence of one of the oldest houses in town Monday night after approving a commercial development at Pickering Beach Road and Highway 2. Runnymede Development wanted to develop a 20 -acre site — a proposal that could employ 500 people and generate $3.75 million in assessment — that includes the Mackay House, a home built in the 1840's by one of Ajax's original pioneers. Rodger Miller, an executive with the developme u company, assured council that his firm would "exhaust every avenue" to find a commercial use for the house (likely a restaurant), but did not give any guarantees that the building would remain intact. Council, wanting to send a strong message to Runnymede, amended the zoning request to stipulate that the 150 -year-old home remain on site. Miller told council that the house, now at the back of the site, would likely have to be moved south, closer to Highway 2, to make it a PTC taken over by Bramalea Pickering Town Centre shoppers received some good news last week when the cash- strapped man was taken over in a joint ownership deal. Former owner JDS Investments defaulted on their loan payments, forcing Bramalea Ltd., a real estate development company, and the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund - one of Canada's biggest commercial landlords - to call in the mortgage. A story in a Toronto daily reported that the mall was not generating enough cash flow to service its debts. Since the takeover most of the debt has been retired. Bramalea, who has managed Pickering Town Centre for the past two months, has also been aggressive in recruiting new tenants and has recently signed Consumers Distributing, Roots and Champs, among others. Approximately 88 per cent of the mall is currently leased viable commercial venture, a request that council agreed to. The local architectural preservation society had requested Runnymede post a $250,000 bond to ensure the survival of the house but council, after hearing that the home is insured by Runnymede, ruled that measure unnecessary. Miller, who said construction on the property is not likely for a year or two, added that he couldn't speculate on the makeup of the site until he begins marketing tenants. Accepted uses for the land include automotive sales and service, drive-in restaurants, motels, hotels, lumber yards, furniture and major appliance sales.

It would seem that Pickering council has done it again. Inept, RI -advised — call it what you will — this group of elected public officials does seem determined to do its work in what can only be called a sneaky fashion. This time it's the Claremont project. And once again, it is Ward 2 Councillor Kip Van Kempen who is sounding the alarm that there are more than just a few flaws in this deal. We often find ourselves wondering how, with Project 80 and Kip Van Kempen breathing down their necks, this council can continue to work in this mysterious fashion. Van Kempen has made it clear that he intends to be a watchdog; Project 80 investigations should have sounded the alarm that "sneaky" no longer works. It's time for openness and honesty, folks — we insist! So much is wrong with the way this council does business, it's no wonder Project 80 entered the picture. When major discussions are allowed to happen in private — with the press and public barred from those issues which most affect the community and how its money is spent — it stands to reason that someone is going to question the process. ne voters of Pickering may be trusting but they are certainly not that stupid. This is not the democratic process as we understand it. Last week we learned that arts groups were completely unaware of this proposed Claremont facility and thus their input was lost. Barring the press ensured that the public would remain ignorant, once again, of what went on behind another set of dosed doors. And yet, at the last council meeting, a deputation of overwrought citizens, and a grandstanding councillor, were allowed to ramble on, with nothing to prove their conviction that the water we drink is lethal — terrifying viewers to the point where one pregnant woman, dearly hysterical when she called our reporter, was convinced that her baby will be stillborn. Fortunately, the fact that Maurice Brenner staged this same performance at prime time in another election year did not go unnoticed. Most members of this council will no doubt whine that the press has not been kind to them lately. Is it any wonder? When you play games with the local press, you take your chances. Community newspapers too have a responsibility to the public but we cannot hide behind closed doors. We understand the importance of honesty, equal treatment and fair tendering process. When Mayor Arthurs selected sot Mondays as Bob Rae days, did he know the impact that a day's delay of council meetings would have upon the local press? That due to missed deadlines, the community would not receive news of its council's activities until several days after the fact? Given the way this council works, we know which way we'd bet. f' Wo M, HEADLESS: Teddy bear doctor April Katz had to perform major surgery on this bear Sunday at the Pickering Museum Village. — Letters — Do you know where your children are? Dear editor: Ajax Fun & Games was introduced to this community in February of this year. After much concern, it was approved by council members as the owner of the business assured them that every effort to keep a wholesome surrounding would be taken. During the first opening weeks, its popularity was tremendous. Offering a smoke free and alcohol free environment appealed to both young and older generations. The facility, bright with lights and constant adult supervision, enhouses games and food to encourage fun. At the slightest sign of disruption by any individual, they are asked to leave and not return. Thankfully, thus far, our assertiveness has been successful. As far as the events which occur outside the doors of Fun & Games, they too, are false accusations. An employee is aware that his/her responsibility is also at our nearby sidewalks. Visitors are told to remove themselves from Harwood Plaza — to not loiter. Police are aware of our situation and patrol the area frequently. Their support has made patrons assured and comfortable to enjoy oleic stay. As a knowledgeable, acutely aware employee and concerned citizen, I thank you for reading the truth about the only good intentions Fun & Games has in store. We are open daily from eleven o dock until evening and would knee you to see Khat makes us so proud. Knowing that your children are in Fun & Games allows you to have peace of mind. Amy Milgrom Ajax Political advertising conflict Dear editor: I was very concerned on Monday, June 20th, to hear at the council meeting that Mrs. Susan Duhy was debating and voting on the motion to allow political advertising on Ajax town buses and shelters. Since Mrs. Dulny is openly supporting Joe Dickson as a declared Liberal candidate for the provincial legislature, it is a conflict of interest for her to then be kwolved in issues of local council that deal with political ad%atising. I have to wonder whether at a recent planning session for Mr. Dickson's election this topic of advertising on town buses was discussed and Mrs. Dulny was requested to use her position on council to ensure that this was made possible. If she had dedined to vote on this issue on June 20, then the motion would have been lost. She claims that 'The town is neutral and I think people are educated enough to know that.' Mrs. Du l ny is not neutral and used her position on council to influence this vote. In a related issue, as a parent of two children playing soccer with the Ajax Warriors Soccer Club, I was shocked and disgusted to receive literature on Warriors letterhead asking for my support of Mr. Dickson as a candidate for the provincial legislature. In this literature, Mrs. Dulny's name was listed as a person to contact if I wished to make a contribution to Mr. Dickson's campaign. It may not be illegal but it is certainly shabby to use the Ajax Warriors Soccer Club as a vehicle for political advertising. It may be too We to stop Mrs. Dudny from using her position as a councilor to advance Mr. Dickson's campaign or to be involved in questionable publications, but perhaps it is possible to remind her of her responsibility to be non-partisan when debating Issues on co rd. rm confident that this is an isolated issue that will not be repeated.

April Wine were the first homegrown band to gross $1 million on a Canadian tour, the first Enghsh•Canadian band to sell 100,000 copies of an album as well as go double -platinum and the 1976 album The Whole World's Going Crary became the first Canadian album to go platinum based on pre-reiease orders. They also produced a wealth of top -10 singles, such as You Could Have Been a Lady, You Won't Dance With Me, Roller, I Like To Rock, Say Hello and Just Between You and Me. Last year the band released their 16th album, Attitude, featuring If You Believe In Me. Tickets for the concert in the 1,000 -seat curling rink will be $20 in advance and $24 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at Annandale (683- 3210), Discs and Dats (432- 2835), Koo-Koo Bananas (434- 8020), CD Factory (436-9551) or Wilson and Lee Limited (725- 4706). Opening for April Wine will be The Barstool Profits. Also lined up for the Canadian Roots Rock Series is blues superstar Colin James and the Little Big Bard (with special guest David Gogo and opening act Room Full of Blues) on July 14 and Tragically Hip cover band Road Apples on July 21. James, at the tender age of 29, has already established himself as one of the great bluesman of his time. The Saskatchewan guitar virtuoso is truly one of the giants in jazz and blues and has earned rave reviews for is rich style that encompasses everything from ballads to boogies and from high spirited rock to smoky blues. All listed concerts are licensed but plans are underway for all - ages shows later this summer. Convenience And Comfort In Contact Lenses Is Rigbt Before Your Eyes. And Your First Pair Is FREE.

The Ward 1 councillor announced his intention June 27 to shoot for a third term on council to "continue a vision of growth and development of a town centre" in Ajax. Schaper will be up against newcomer Edward Alphonso, who declared his desire to go after the job June 22. Schaper, an elementary school teacher and a 35 -year Ajax resident, said he also has a number of other projects he would like to see completed, such as the Carruthers Creek pumping station, the Harwood Avenue realignment and the expansion of the Town's water supply - Schaper, who has fought several commercial and residential developments on the council floor in the past, emphasized that he is not anti - development. Nothing could be further from the truth, he said Continuing the development of the town is a high priorty, he pointed out. Expansion of the industrial sector, especially, will mean growth and jobs and help Ajax keep tax increases to zero. But the development has to be carefully controlled, he added. "It is important to increase industrial growth and improve the ratio of industrial to residential assessment. We have to continue a program of financial restraint and budget efficiency," he said. "But we cannot allow the developers to make those decisions for us. We have to make those decisions. It has to be the right kind in the right place." Schaper would also like to be Frank Schaper of his ward, which includes historic Pickering Village, while preserving the character of the community. The councillor, who teaches part-time to devote more time to council matters, also wants to push for more prosperity for the commercial area of the village and improve safety in the community with the addition of traffic lights on Highway 2 at Church Street.

It took a "fed -up" Everett Adamson to come before Pickering council on Monday night to urge council members to "put an end to the year-round free advertising" many Pickering residents were taking advantage Of. "I called the bylaw officer to complain many times," said Adamson, "but he keeps telling me he has too much work to do already and doesn't have the time to do anything about it." Adamson shared with council members that he had done his homework and that he understood the bylaw stated such posting of signs required the town's permission. "I didn't spend $250,000 on a house so I could look at sign posts with advertising all over the place," he told council. He later said in an interview that he was also annoyed with garage sale signs that remain up long after the event is over. "Ihe people don't even have the decency to remove those either," he said. "They just leave them up and they end up blowing around the streets or end up on your property, and then you have :o throw them oLi."

"But it wouldn't be very democratic . " Herrema said a campaign to run for chairman of the region (population 450,000) would cost more than $100,000, pointing out that parts or all of five provincial ridings are in Durham. Donations would have to come from unions and big business - especially developers - 9 a candidate has any chance at success, he added. The cost to elect the regional chairman of Ottawa - Carleton (population 600,000) was $106,000, Herrema said The bill for the same job in Hamilton -Wentworth (population 500,000 but with a much smaller area) came to $86,000. "it would be a great idea for a guy like me, but it wouldn't be very democratic," Herrema repeated. He would be in favor of an election by Durham voters if he could run in a ward instead of region -wide, due to travel and the prohibitive cost. The labor council, after a unanimous vote June 14, is urging the region to take "all the necessary legal steps" to allow the election of the chairman position by voters of the region at large. Elected regional councillors and mayors currently choose the regional chairman at the first meeting following the municipal election. A candidate does not have to be a member of regional council. In Metropolitan Toronto the Metro chairman has to be elected by the people before being chosen for the chairman's position, a method used in Durham prior to regional government in 1974. The successful candidate in Metro (currently Alan Tonks) still retains his elected council position. in Durham, the chairman would give up the elected position if already a member of regional council. A former Uxbridge mayor, Herrema was first elected in 1980 for the $100,000 -plus job and is bidding for a sixth term this fall. Inaugural day this year will be Dec. 7, the first meeting after the November 14 municipal election. Herrema, who announced his intention to seek another term just three weeks ago, said he would like to see an overhaul of the current system to make the region more representative of the people. Under his scheme, seats would be taken away from Oshawa and the three northern townships and added to Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. "I can see some regional changes by the year 2000.

' '< golfers who participated in this year's annual "Business Links" Golf Tournament sponsored by the Ajax/Pickering Board of Trade. Held once again this year at Pickering Seaton Golf and Country Club, the event was virtually a sell- out. Celebrity golfers included Mayor Jim Witty and Councillor Roger Anderson of Ajax, Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Councillor Rick Johnson of Pickering, and Jerry Duffy, President of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. Special guest Captain Doug Butt of the Ajax -Pickering Salvation Army, who ulorig with his ussistant Paul Carew spent the day monitoring the sixth hole., also said Grace just before the crowd devoured their well-earned steak flinner. The special prize of the day — had anyone been skillful enough to win it by scoring a hole -in - one on the sixth hole — was tickets for two from Delta Airlines to "any- where Delta flies." Other major sponsors included Apple Auto Glass — who offered to supply and install a sun roof for a hole -in -one (also not won) — and The Bay News. Over 85 sponsors donated prizes, which were taken home by every golfer in attendance. Golfers also received complimentary photos of their foursome. Board Secretary Lesley Whyte co- ordinated the event, which was chaired this year by Bub Turcotte. Co-chairs .toe Dickson and Ozzie Tanner and the committee of Pat Dell'Osso, Derek Teryl and Doug Welton all put forth an excellent effort to make this year's tournament one of the beat ever. Rick Johnson once again put his talents as an auctioneer to work. enabling the Board of Trade to pull in over $1,000 which it will put to chari- table work — most notably to the Salvation Army's annual food drive. "We really appreciate their interest," acknowledged Captain Butt. "They've been doing it for the past three or four years." Last year's donation of $2,000 was presented to The Salvation Army at Thanksgiving when the Food Bank was at its lowest. Winners for the day included Melanie Seymour and Bob Turcotte for Longest Drive, and Charlie Washer who won a trip for two from Delta Airlines for Closest to the Pin in the putting contest. Bob Turcotte, undoubtedly the big winner for the day, also captained the first place team. "4c have to thank Bob and his committee for putting on a wonderful tournament and for all the people of the Ajax -Pickering Board of Trade and the mayors of hoth the towns for continuing to support us," said Board president Doug '.McKay, who went on to say that this year, the Board of Trade expects to see consid- erable improvement in the economy. "We're looking forward to a really ositive year in '94-'95. We were in a it of a status quo for a few years, but now things seem to be looking up," he said. "We now have a new vision." "Our major goal, to increase mem- bership, has been number one; mem- ber involvement is number two." Forging partnerships with other busi- ness groups in Durham has also been a high priority. "We are now becom- ing mach more involved with the region as a whole," he added. After struggling for the past few years, this year the Board of Trade has increased its membership to 356 members. This year's exciting sched- ule of events promises to increase it even more.

True to its humble beginnings, the Jeep YJ is still the most rugged convertible offered in a four-wheel drive only configuration. Under the hood of all the YJs is either a 2.5 -litre four cylinder 125 hp engine or a 4-1itre straight six with 180 hp. Base transmission is a 5 -speed manual or an optional 3 -speed automatic. Those of you who want more of a "macho" look in a Jeep can opt for the Renegade model. This gives you more interior creature comforts plus the look of flared fenders, mag wheels, fog lights and colored key bumpers.

All-new sheet metal graces the car, giving it a similar -but - new look. The new Passat will come in two body variations, a four -door sedan and four -door wagon. The model line-up will consist of the GLS and GLX. The GLS is a diesel powered car while the CLX is powered by VW"s ?.S -litre V6. The CLS diesel is turbo -charged, giving it 15 hp and 100 lbs. ft. of torque. This is the same diesel engine that powers the Jetta and past Passats. VW says a more powerful version is coming in the future. Giving the Passat its sports appeal is the 2.8 -litre• V6 on the CLX. This innovative V6 produces 112 hp at 5800 rpm and F7 lbs. ft. of torque at 4200 rpm. This kind of power should give the GLX plcnt� of punch for all types of spirited driving. Transferring the power to the front wheels will be a standard 5 -speed manual transmission, standard on both models. A 4 -speed automatic will be an option only on the CLX. This year VW is moving the Passat up-market with lots of luxury appointments. These extras include power windows, heated headlight washers, heated side mirrors, premium stereo cassette. leather wrapped steering wheel, central locking and air conditioning, to name just a few. Safety is a big part of the Passat's features with dual air bags, anti-lock brakes and traction control on the GLX V6. One new welcome feature is the Passat's pollen filter. The people at VW claim the filter will catch up to 90 per cent of most air -born particles. Price. you ask? Well, the GLS diesel 4 -door sedan starts at $25.870.

Well, at about a quarter less than what you can get a Cadillac for, you can have a Buick Roadmaster. One of the biggest cars I have driven in some time, it had more room inside than some small minWans. My test vehide was the top of the line wagon with the third rear facing seat. Fully equpped, my Roadmaster came with full leather interior, power everything, maps and a robust 5.7 -litre (350 aL in.) V8. I have to admit I really like the versatility of this full-sized wagon compared to marry minivans on the market. The handy folding rear seats made it much easier to load and unload long items.

The recent heatwave put west Durham in a near -emergency situation, forcing regional officials to initiate voluntary water rationing. Residents were asked to limit car washing, sprinkler use and pool filling and water their lawns on alternate days only. The voluntary measures were also implemented two years ago and Arthurs believes it's time Durham made it an annual tradition, on the premise there may be a water shortage but also to conserve water. "We go through this annually and all of a sudden it's the middle of June and it's a problem," Arthurs said after last week's regional council meeting. "We have to start conserving water. Let's give people a mindset for conservation." The oppressive heat early last week - temperatures reached as high as 36 degrees and the humidity made conditions almost unbearable - took its toll on Ajax and Pickering residents. The increased water use also took its toll on the under -sized Ajax Water Supply Plant, nearly depleting local water supplies. Cherrywood residents in Pickering, in fact, were without water for six hours June 19-20 after the local reservoir shut down - Oshawa regional councillor John Aker, the chairman of the regional works committee, said his department is content for now to stick with voluntary restraints, noting they will go to mandatory rationing only as a last resort. He puts the blame for the water shortages squarely on the shoulders of the existing water plant in Ajax. At maximum output the plant produces only 12 million gallons daily and when demand reaches emergency levels another 12 million gallons must be piped in from plants in Whitby and Oshawa. A new, $65 million water plant in Ajax - capable of pumping 36 million gallons of water per day - has already been delayed and is not expected to be up and running until 1998 at the earliest. Aker said he spoke recently to environment minister Bud Wildman and suggested that when the water plant proposal comes across his desk "he should have his rubber stamp ready." 'We've known for a long time that we do not have the capacity," he said "We just have an undersized plant in Ajax and Pickering. It's as simple as that." "It may be a long, hot summer."

Loss of knowledge retention is universal among all countries and among children of all ages and at all grade levels. • The same degree of retention loss applies also to adults at all social, economic and education levels. • Summer vacation from schoel often puts students into mental hibernation. without guided learning activities, young minds go dormant and classroom knowledge is lost. • One solution would be year-round classes in public schools; however, most communities resist extending present school year terms of about 175 days. • Parents have two main alternatives: enrolling their children in supplemental education programs or helping their children with summer learning reinforcement activities at home. • Combining supplemental education classes in summer with at-home help from parents is an ideal way to help children retain and use the knowledge they've gained in school. • Parents should interact with their ehildn-n. creating summer learning aetivitie> by reading together, talkin together, and ex ring new areas of knowledge. This will help to reinforce a child's educational experience. • Learning is a process, an ongoing experience. Students cannot stand still during this learning process.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't discriminate, so some less than savory creatures come back to haunt us each season. Like visits from unwanted relatives. There always seems to be some new threat predicted — killer bees, zebra mussels, Madonna clones. Perhaps the most pervasive to date has been caterpillars. Until I came to the country I thought caterpillars were yellow heavy equipment. But knew different when I saw them in trees. Millions of them. Crawling, hanging, falling, massing, writhing, wriggling and generally being yucky. It brought new meaning to the biblical phrase "a plague of locusts." Not that I'd rather have locusts, but Ontario's recent gypsy moth invasion makes me wonder what sins are being punished. The name gypsy moth has a kind of mystical, nomadic ring to it, but the only thing green about these spirits is that they eat trees for nothing. That crunching sound I can't hear the silence for is 100 billion mandibles chomping their way to mothhood. Matched only by the cacophony of tiny black sprinkles falling into my drink. Not wanting my summer spoiled, I dashed out to ward off the infesting hordes. Which squished under foot, fell onto my head, crawled up my pant leg and tried eating my hair. The side of the house was alive with more hairy worms out for a snack. Not wanting to be it, I made a strategic withdrawal. The car tires greased the drive with slimy streaks as I went for reinforcements. Within several days the infestation had peaked, leaving a dismal and devastated tree line that was more fall than summer. The water stank with little rotting bodies and local fish were so satiated from gorging on surface wrigglers that they took the tear off from angling. If nature were perfect, gypsy moths would eat in the fall so I wouldri t have to rake leaves. Over that summer, we planned our counterattack. During the fall, we organized Pine Sol brigades to saturate and scrape egg masses off tree trunks. We ordered gypsy moth traps for the spring, the theory being that male moths would be lured to their deaths by the female scent inside. Sounds like the history of mankind. I know I've had several near death experiences. The next summer we also lined up the heavy ary sight artillery. At first ht of the creepy-craWies, g the cavalry arrived like the sound track from "Platoon" — helicopters thwack -thumping like gigantic dragon flies and low flyers swooping with mist from their wing tanks. Apocalypse now. Nothing was going to disturb my summer life. Except a tent infestation. Not an influx of merry campers, but a visit from unwanted �i/'$%9 t ICNQLSON Surnn�er life �- �i gypsy relatives no doubt given my name as a great place to get a free meal. With tent caterpillars, there are webbed nests in tree crooks and joints. Once hatched, they head for the tree tops where living masses pulsate to their own peculiar beat (probably rap) and a moving veil of caterpillars dangle from silk threads over every drive. Desperate to save my summer, I called the Ministry of Natural Resources, whose summer saving expertise is legendary. They informed me that this invasion was really a double whammy of Forest tents and Eastern tents. No wonder rm too tense. The good news was that they were orgy booked in for a couple of weeks, so I walked with my trusty golf umbrella to shield me and got used to straining the caterpillars out of my lemonade with my teeth. 1 am spraying this summer against any living creature that there are more than two of. I dread what new mutant hordes Mother Nature may have in store for the future — gypsy beavers or eastern porcupines or chain saw moths — what does she have against trees may? What would be wrong with a plague against black flies or mosquitos or Revenue Canada? Whatever happened to the balance of nature? Why are trees the main target? What about some action against that skunk who sprayed my dogs or the raccoon who keeps trashing my garbage or the fox who raids the chicken coop? When do they get their comeuppance? The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind — along with the next insect plague and the fleas that just landed on Fido. jax finances in good shape Revenues are down and the debt load is up, but otherwise, everything's going great" for the Town of Ajax, said chief dministrative officer Bary Malmstem recently in unveiling the own's annual financial report. Revenues as of December 31 are down nearly $500,000 to $27.7 million but that can be attributed to reduced building permit activity because of the sluggish economy, the provincial Social Contract and the expenditure control plan, Malmstem said. The good side is that expenditures are also down, leaving the town in the enviable situation of having a balanced budget. The debt load for the town is up slightly, primarily because Ajax is debenturing some of the cost of the $8 million Bill Mclean Centre, which will open Sept. 17. Malrnstem, who came on board last fall, said he will continue to try and find ways to make town operations run more smoothly and improve efficiency, through consultations with council, staff and auditors Deloitte and Touche. Ward 5 councillor Pat Brown congratulated Malmstem for running a "good, tight ship." Youth assaulted at a Pickering beach Durham Regional Police are on the lookout for a sex offender after a 14 -year-old boy was assaulted at a Pickering beach earlier this month. The Pickering boy told police he was approached by a man at Beach Point Promenade (off Westshore Blvd.) on June 7. The man pulled down the victim's pants and kissed the boy's penis. The boy then ran away. The victim finally came forward to police Sunday afternoon. Police are hoping the assault is an 'isolated incident" but have referred the case to the major crime unit. The accused is described as 50 years old with gray hair. He is 6'2", weighing 200 pounds and was wearing a blue and yellow striped shirt with white shorts. He was seen driving a grey, full-sized car, similar to an Oldsmobile '98.' Oops correction in the June 22 edition of Ridge High School. The Bay The Bay News it was reported News regrets the error.

Sharky's located in Ajax for five months now, buys, sells and trades new and used articles from its Harwood Plaza home base. If it's bargains you're looking for, owner Bob Parkinson probably has the item, and at a price that can't be beat. "The economy's tight and right now, everyone's trying to save a buck," Parkinson said. "But even in good times, there's always a market for this." Sharky's stock is varied, from compact discs to tools, with a special emphasis on electronic items like stereos, video cassettes, video games and televisions. Where Sharky's — an independent operation — stands out from some of the competition is in the guarantee of quality that Parkinson offers for his products, and for services like repairs and customizing. Ifs not like a garage sale. There s a warranty on everything we sell, even the CDs. If it skips, bring it back and I'll give you another one," he said. "People are more willing to buy from me if 1 am willing to stand behind my products." Parkinson, who learned the trade at Parky's, his father's buy and sell shop in Whitby, has been doing well for a new business because of the weak economy. But he hopes to continue his success when the economy inevitably turns around. "There's always stuff people want available to buy and sell at auctions and sales and there will always be people looking to save a few dollars." he said. Parkinson invites shoppers to check out the store, open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m; 686-8161. "Browsers are always welcome. Looking is still free."
