So says a Town of Pickering employee who adds that the official announcement will soon be made. Approval has been granted despite the fact studies report there are serious problems with the proposed on-site septic system resulting in serious restrictions on the use of the community facility. Among these restrictions are a banquet facility which will be limited to 290 people and can only be used once a weep a kitchen which cannot be used for food preparations for functions that wouid serve more than 30 people (meaning food would have to be brought in}, a nursery school which cannot be expanded beyond the 26 children that attend halfAays abready, outdoor functions such as baseball games to be limited to one per week- only eeponly 30 people allowed in the library at one time-, and dubs other than the bons — such as Masons, the Legion etc. — v Al not be allowed to use the facility. The report, prepared by irde mx1v t consultant Gbson and Associates and retained by the town says it is imperative that stud and enforceable eorttrW be placed on the use of the community centre considering the "sensitivity( of the sewage treatment system. In a memorandum discussing the report, town officials disclosed that if a situation arose where large usage of the washrooms in the community centre were anticipated (Winter Carnival, Christmas Pageant) the town would lock the washrooms in the oonnmxi* centre and bring in portable toilets for the event, so as not to overload the septic 'Brat is the most ri mkuus thing 1 ever heard. To spend $3-m bon on a community centre and we are going to ask people to use a pot -a -potty at 'T WI«:oNLy: HAPPEN�ONCE� special events is absurd," was the reaction from Ward 1 tical candidate Terry Nuspl. "I know Claremont needs a new fire hall and washrooms in their library, but this whole Claremont community centre is premature. It is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole." Pickering councillors have been plagued with inadequate septic provisions for the community centre as outlined by the ministry of the environment (MOA earlier this year. In response to the inadequacy, council purchased additional land adjacent to the community centre at a cost to taxpayers of $166,000. Now, The Bay News has learned, a second property will need to be purchased for the septic system. Sources estimate such additional cost will be between $100,000 to $200,000, 100 per cent of which will be paid by Pickering taxpayers.

Case in point: Ajax council and Monday night's debate over $140,000 budgeted for a bridge, boardwalk and trail system at the mouth of Duffin Creek. Of all the councillors and expert witnesses called to the stand to discuss the proposal, there was not a nay -sayer in the bunch. But the debate turned into a question of priorities: do we spend the money on the bridge or save it for a "war chest" for a possible legal battle between the town and Hi -Rise Developments over a 10 -acre parcel of waterfront land a few miles to the east. Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish opted for the latter. He believes the bridge is a "worthy proiect" but preserving the land at the foot of Harwood Avenue is a higher priority. Hi -Rise, for the record. wants medium and high density high-rise apartments on their piece of land and also want the town to delete a requirement that thev first build a marina on the property. Ajax courtdi said no and both sides may be headed to the Ajax Transit earns another award Aiax Transit has added another award to their al eady impressive trophy case with a Gold in the corporate category September 21 at a gala banquet in Toronto hosted by the Canadian Productivi:y Association. The award, honoring prod.;ctivity improvements through the effective use of information technoiogy, was a testament to the success of the Smart Card fare system: in use by the transit company. The award was accepted bk Nax T a sit director Terry Barnett and Ward 4 councillor J_^ McMaster These were four categones, with a gold and silver award in each class. Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to sort it out. Parish said he believes Ajax will win any court battle with Hi - Rise Developments but "it won't be a cheap victory and it will cost all of $140,000." That $140,000, he added, would be better spent fighting Hi -Rise than building a bridge. "He who wants the best peace had better prepare for war." To that end, the councillor asked the motion to support the bridge proposal be deferred to give town staff time to, among other things, investigate the cost of an OMB court fight with Hi - Rise. His deferra: motion was refected and minutes later a modified deferra: motion (the matter will be back at council Monday) was approved. But when he asked why his request was =ned down:, he was told by Ajax Mayor Jim Witty that chief administrative officer Barry ML-nsten will gladly investigate the possible legal costs for hi n may. Parish simply ro;:ed his eyes a the flip-t1op. "You te" me (what they're doing). Basicai!y, I don't think there's the wi""in council to make what's happening at the foot of Harwood an issue," he claimed. "I don't know what's happening here but this is an issue that we should be talking about " Witty and Malmsten, for their parts, said there is a good chance the Hi -Rise debate will not end up in an OMB hearing room anyway, providing Ajax and the development company can work out a possible land swap or other "business opportunity." -It may or it may not (go to an OMB hearing), Malmsten said cryptically. "We're looking for a creative solution right now. Malmsten agrees with Parish that the town would certainly win any case with Hi -Rise but pointed out he would rather settle the matter outside the courtroom. "We'd rather spend money on solutions than lawyers." Witty said another possible "creative solution" could be density intensification of other Hi -Rise developments in Ajax. The company also owns land at Bayly Street and Pickering Beach Road and at Bayly Street and Harwood Avenue. Parish received support from former regional councillor Joe Atkinson during the debate. Atkinson, who called the bridge proposal — part of a master plan for the Greater Toronto Area communities that would see a green belt stretched from Burlington to Trenton — a "good project," but agreed with Parish that is is a "matter of priorities." "Hi -Rise is changing the rules," he declared. "We need this money for the OMB fight to put these lands in public ownership. We have to protect these lands." AK gang Several speakers, including representatives from the Waterfront Regeneration Trust (who are contributing $320,000 towards the bridge project) and the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, told council they will need approval of the bridge project quickly to meet their spring deadline. The trail system will lead to a dead end, council was told, unless Pickering council agrees to construct the network on their side of the border. After initially rejecting the idea, Pickering is now considering the proposal. in court Four members of the AK gang who robbed Terry Sheridan's Country Show and Bar in Ajax July 30 will appear in Oshawa Provincial Court October 19. The four, from Scarborough and Markham, face a total of nearly 70 charges — including three counts of attempted murder — after the Ajax robbery. Patron and staff at the country bar were terrorized by four armed thugs who held a knife to the throat of a waitress and fired several shots at both a patron attempting to get the licence plate of the getaway car and at police in the ensuing chase. The four gang members were arrested August 11 after an intense manhunt by both Durham and Metro police. Charged are Andrew Alexander Chance,19, Winston Livingstone Laing, O'Neal Clarke and Kirk Lincoln Walters, all 18. They also face nearly 50 charges stemming a string of armed robberies in the Metro area. _ WILDWOOD FORD SALES LTD.

Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association Whose >ldea was 'phis? Last week, when we heard that the United Way was about to kick off a week of )fundraising, we dutifully dispatched our photographer to record the event. In line with its Wild West theme this year, our local United Way organizers — for reasons which escape us — had decided that a ':bank hold-up was in order. By the time you read this the United Way will, no doubt, be miffed with The Bay Nems: we couldn't, in all conscience, print even one of the pictures our photographer ,produced. Not even for the United Way could we justify printing a picture of Mayor Wayne Arthur with a gun pointed at him and a robbery clearly in progress. Are we alone in our shock and indignation that the organizers of our United Way (and an obliging mayor) should choose this method to get their point across? In a week during which the owner of an Oshawa store — one where virtually any adult can buy a gun — had himself been gunned down during a robbery by masked killers (and one of our own Pickering residents remained whereabouts unknown), were we really expected to show one of our mayors with a gun to his head, or his back? In a week during which the Guns -R -Us gang was busy lobbying politicians in Ottawa. hoping to convince the big guys that guns are really just fun things to have around and scarcely contribute to those nasty crime statistics at all, were we really expected to rally 'round and cheer a mock bank robbery? Did no-one at United Way recognize the message this ill-conceived publicity stunt would send? Children were expected to be present at this event and children would also see photos in the kocal newspaper. Is It okay to point a gun at the mayor, at anyone, if clarity is the name of the game? We don't think so. We recognize the importance of the United Way and we applaud the efforts of the many dedicated volunteers who will ?work, heart and soul, to try and boost this ;year's donations over the top. But we xeally must protest the use of such outdated methods. Stage coaches, the Wild West and gun singers are things of the past which, while :damiliar to most adults; are not things ;most chikfre i relate to. While adults, right Vow, may be Into old-fashioned line Avid". western hats and twangy country music, children — for the most part — tend to be light years ahead: into outer space, ;<&oft and computers. .True, the United Way is targeted toward :,adults, but can we really afford to forget ::elle kids? Any adults looking at a photo of the mays in western gear with a gun to head will immediately recognize a mock 10id-ap is action; a child, unforhmately, proba* recognize oat,; the gun. Letters Another Claredome nay -sayer speaks Dear editor: In your Aug. 31 issue you printed a letter from Dan McTeague, MP, outlining his views in connection with this project. He told your readers that he initially had contents about the idea but after putting six questions to the town was able to support it. At that point, the writer resigned his membership in the provincial Liberal party. At about the same time, a strange editorial in the News Advertiser endorsed the project (strange, unless you think they could be influenced by that very remunerative full page ad that they get from the Town of Pickering each week). All of this took place even though a major local engineering firm investigated the antiquated septic system and reported that it could not be enlarged sufficiently to handle the greatly boosted usage_ No problem, our town fathers simply commissioned another engineering firm and announced a positive report. Oh, really? The later report, we now find, tells us that: the 300 -person banquet hall can only be used once a week because of the limitations of the sewer system; the kitchen can only be used to provide food for a maximum of 30 persons per function; the nursery school, with a present enrollment of 26 children cannot Increase their ervDil ent by more than five children; and the ballpark change and function rooms cannot be used for more than one function per week All MOEE conditions most also be stridiy adhered to, just for the limited uses of the facilities described. If the needs of the local residents are not going to be met after the enormous expenditures involved, one can only conjecture as to the real agenda behind Claremont's centre for municipal guidance. And what now in the face of continued sophistry? Perhaps the outlay of just a few additional millions to conned with some main sewer trur*Bine? After you add some water to your wine, Mr. McTeague, maybe you can rephrase your questions to the town's mayor and wire us another report. You might explain, too, why the federal govern mmu d can't withhold approval. Do you mean that you have no control over dile funds w*usted to your stewardship? Why did you bother at all with your "thorough, independent and objective review" if you are emasculated anyway? Wt this taxation without representation then?

Tom Long Pickering none - The reconstruction of Christena Crescent may go ahead next year after afl, much to the pleasure of Wand 1 councillor Frank Schaper. Schaper, who said "poor Christena" has been 'kicked around" long enough, has been trying to push for the reconstruction of the Pickering Village street for years and unsuccessfully tried to get the road included in the list of projects to be funded by the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Program this summer. Now, because of unused funds that will be reallocated, he may get another chance. The request, approved by council September 23, still requires approval from the federal/provincial infrastructure program. Getting approval for Christena was not enough for Schaper, however. He also tried to press members of the executive and development committee to add Sherwood Road to the fist, a street that is already scheduled for pre -engineering next year and for construction In 19%. 'Here, there may be money available and were gang to ignore it? If we don't ask, we don't get," Schaper said Ajax Mayor Jim Witty voted against the Sherwood Road request, noting that Pickering Village has been "well looked after" by the town over the years. 'Enough is enough. We've already got Sherwood in the '95 budget (and) to ram this through is not appropriate," he said, panting out the street has already jumped the priory qui in getting pre -engineering approved for next year. "We don't need to push Sherwood Road to the detriment of roads in the rest of the town." .Engineering and works director Frank Hull said the application from the town for Christena Crescent has to be in before the end of September and approval or rejection news should be available by the end of the year. If approved, the project (which will include replacement of the watermain to provide adequate fire protection) should commence next May. Total cost is expected to be $412,300, to be split equally by Ajax, Ottawa and Queen's Park. We protect our family from what m&ht happen. Shouldn't we prepare for what we know wr71 happen?

Dickson passed with flying colors. The exact totals were not available but the winner earned more than a double share of the 1,700 ballots to easily defeat Joe Pacione, his only opponent. 'Together, we will win," he told his enthusiastic supporters after the results were announced. 'We're pumped, our people are pumped and we're ready to go.' The challenge now goes out to Premier Bob Rae and his New Democratic Party to call an electim. In his speech Thursday, Dickson promised supporters Durham West would be sending 'a liberal to Queen's Park" after the next election, expected neat spring. The next morning, his voice hoarse from thanking supporters, Dickson was still predicting victory. 'The competition will be tough but the people of Ajax - Pickering are not satisfied with the way major provincial issues such as jobs, education, law enforcement, the deficit and the environment are being addressed," he said, taking a shot at NDP incumbent Jim Wiseman. 'The residents are ready for change.' (Wiseman is likely to seek re election but the candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party still has to be chosen. Janet Ecker is the only declared candidate but sources say several high-profile Tory candidates are still being courted.) Dickson also predicted he and Ontario Liberal Party leader Lynn McLeod will gain spin-off support from the success of the federal Liberals, especially because of the popularity of Prime Minister Jean Chretien. Support locally, he added, has never been higher with a record 3,300 memberships, up from 100 last December. Dickson, a former Ajax regional councillor and the 1994 Ajax Civic Award winner, cited three key issues that will determine the next MPP for Durham West: the Brock West landfill site (he promises to close the site and kill the Interim Waste Authority), health care reform (he will work to end a bed crisis by expanding the Ajax Picken g General Hospital to a ful}service fadhty) and the lack of communication between Queen's Park and Ajax- Pickering - He also wants to let small business lead the way in creating new jobs, reduce the deficit and 'build a bridge" between children, parents, teachers, employers and the community to improve the quality of education.

Kenneth Thomas still missing The web has tightened a little bit but police still have no chies as to the whereabouts of missing Pickering man Kenneth Thomas. The latest evidence came last week when Durham Regional Police declared they are certain that Thomas, whose car was used in Gagnon Sports robbery that left one man dead and three others wounded, was at the Canada Employment Centre in Richmond Hill at 12:20 pm on Sept. 14. Police do not know if Thomas's car was at that location, however. Fire hours later two masked gunmen went on a shooting spree at the south Oshawa gun shop. Store owner Roger Pardy was shot in the head and killed and the killers — who netted just 14 weapons in the robbery — escaped in Thomas's 1989 burgundy Chevrolet Caprice.

THIS WEEK'S Today's business buzzword is quality. Producing quality products consistently is thought to be Canada's ticket to success in the global economy. Tom Davis, a former Pickering engineer turned motivational marketer, believes we're chasing the wrong target, however. Communication, not quality, is the key, he explained. 'Shouting quality all over your work place does not guarantee it's going to happen," he pointed out at the opening of his new office in Ajax last week. "You have to communicate first." Davis, the author of Huparallations (Human parallel Communications), said our multi -cultural society puts us behind the Japanese because we 'don't naturally trust or communicate" with fellow workers or with management.

The Huparallations employee motivational method — which takes up only a half-hour of employee time — opens up a chain of communication between workers and management that builds trust and naturally leads to increased production, he said. 'We are not a homogeneous society. We don't buy in (to management's requests) naturally like the Japanese," Davis said, adding that his system claims to boost productivity by 50 per cent. 'Henry Ford never got those numbers and if companies don't use it — if they don't communicate — we can't compete with the rest of the world." Davis, whose field work will be handled by independent consultants (Wayne Tucker in Durham), already boasts a number of local clients including Horn Plastics Ltd. of Pickering and several Canadian Tire stores in Durham.

Headlining at the festival are some of the most creative and well-known performers in the puppetry industry including the Emmy Award nominated Wayne Martin Puppets from Ohio, Toronto's famous Lampoon Puppettheatre, Windsor's Join Hands Puppet Company and Kingston's David Smith Marionettes. 'This is the first time in Canada such a large number of renowned puppeteers will be brought together for the purpose of entertaining," says mall marketing director Barbara Brown. "The performers will also be providing a consolidated effort to assist the United Way. Of the 66 performances scheduled, all but three are free to the public with 100 per cent of the proceeds raised from the three performances being donated to the United Way." In addition, funds for the United Way will be raised through an open draw featuring a 30 -foot hand -made puppet as first prize by renowned puppet and costume designer Joanna DabrourJu. As well, the first 500 people to visit the Puppet Festival tonight will receive a free cone puppet, designed and crafted by Marlene Reimer. Performance themes range from personal values to just plain fun Some of the lessons children and their fare:,:es ..,rough the puppets at the festival include: saying no to drags, the importance of taking responsibility and how to take proper care of your body. Many of the performances have incorporated interactive components in order to get the children directly involved with the characters. All of this takes place against intricately designed and colorfiil sets. "We are absolutely thrilled by the overwhelming response we received when organizing the festival," said Connie Culvert, the festivals creative director, and a professional puppeteer. 'This is a unique opportunity for children and adults alike to experience the artistry of some of the most talented puppeteers in the industry." For those who have only had the opportunity to experience hand puppets and marionettes, the festival promises to change your interpretation of puppets forever. Ranging in size from two feet to 30 feet in height, audiences will witness the best puppetry has to offer from a whale to man-size clown puppets performing circus tricks. For the Love of Children Puppet Festival is not only for spectators. The Merry Folklorists will be presenting An Introduction to Puppetry specifically designed for the novice puppeteer at local libraries. Locations include Pickering Central, Rouge Hill, Bay Rdges and Ajax. In addition, there will be a puppet market at the Pickering Town Centre for visitors to peruse and the Homespun Puppet - Making Competition will allow youngsters to compete for exciting prizes, including an in-home puppet party, by creating their own puppets.

The Boy News Aiding on a dream When an Olympic rider joins hands with a national champion (also a prospective Olympian) the result is Dreamcrest — a dream equestrian school. Tucked away in the picturesque countryside of Port Perry, Dreamcrest is the fruit of untiring labor and the commitment of Kelly Plitz and Ian Roberts. The top-notch equestrian centre was founded in 1983 — then in Claremont — and moved to the Port Perry complex in 1992. For the last 11 years this equestrian school has been providing high quality riding lessons for all age groups. Students, whether beginners or more advanced, benefit from some excellent schoding horses in challenging and well-run lesson programs under the watdiful and expert care of the husband -and -wife team of Ian and Kelly — whose success and calibre echo in tie halls of national equestrian centres and in international arenas. Keiiy has been or horseback from the age of five and her 30 -year trot has beer, memorable: she represented Canada at the 1982 World Championships in Europe and, in 1984, was the top ranked Canadian in the equestrian sport of 3 day eventing at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. She continues to compete and 'instruct. Another of her passions is to develop young ^arses into top level competitors. Ian, on the other hand, was Canadian. Champion in 1982 and Coach of the Year in 1989 �It Through his efforts and hard work in the 92 season, Ian has f been recognized for the Canadian equestrian team's talent sGad — !!" a team of future Oiympic hopefuls. caught up with Kelly by the sidewall of the indoor arena of Kelly Plitz Dreamcrest while Ian was busy inside mowing an over -30 batch of riders. 1 was pleased to see students of that age group riding and taking lessors. Kelly introduced me to the gang over the fence — Tracy, Hans, Susan and Debbie — all doing extremely well, with Ian standing in the middle calmly controlling their movenenls and imparting valuable knowledge. Explaining what Dreamcrest is and what it offers Kelly said. 1t is a sprawling facility — we have 100 acres here and have access to another 300 at the back, so there are lots of trails and things. When, we bought the place there was a barn and arena, then we added an outdoor ring and a cross country course and a water grip. We also have these two arenas — one of mi hich was brought over from Claremont when we moved. Now as far as lessons go,' she added, 114 are very ir6Adi2lized. We tailor our instructions to what the individual rider needs. If you are a beginner we would start you on your own until you are able to go on to a group at your level. But all lessons start at the basics." There are 47 horses at the fadity; this includes some which are owned by individuals and kept at the school stables. Kelly says that Dreamcrest lesson horses are an important ingredient ih making a confident rider. All of these horses are specially purchased and developed to be willing, safe and dependable teachers. Dreamcrest right now boasts a total of 130 students a week. Both Ian and Kelly are level 11 coaches who specialize in venting which =nbmes all I= of the Olympic Equestrnan Dnsciphw They have another three instrucbrs, Mir handpicked to as= qu* lessons.

At the moment I have a horse — Zappa — Ad is possibly capable of doing it and therefore I am going to take a run at it' Ian has had Zappa for two years now and with another two years to go for the Olympiics, he is preay confident about his showing there. Caning down to his irm* a Tient at Dreamcrest, Ian said, " lihis is r y business and I do a lot of teaching. Most of my teaching is with my show clients, the ones who are competing.' Before bidding adieu to the couple I asked Ian about his aim for the future. `k would be rice b have a shot at the Atlanta Olympia; he said. 9f it does not work out there vA always be wwttnig else fdlowing. would also Ike toto see some of my students make it to the nationals and maybe beyoyynd that.- Noble droughts, noble dreams — Hi Ho, Zappa, away! Team Ontario soccer tryouts The Ontario Soccer Association will be holding open tryouts throughout the province for Team Ontario's 1995 Under - 14 Boys and Under -17 Girls Teams during September and October. This is the first step for players who have a desire to represent Canada at the international level or play professional soccer. Promising young players across the province will be given a chance to show off their skills in front of Team Ontario staff. This has been a very successful identification format for the past four years opening up opportunities for many young talented players wanting to get involved with Ontario's High Performance Program. In the past, players have missed out on the opportunity to represent Ontario because team staff did not get a chance to see them play. Open tryouts are the first step. The tryouts will consist of games assessed by OSA Team staff, who organize players into groups and put them through various sIdn sessions in order to have a hard look at the boys and girls. Successful trialists will then be invited into the Ontario Training Centre for further screening during the Winter Training Program.

After all, they're not just assembling homes, they're creating complete communities. At The Woodlands community in Whitby, the builder has succeeded in combining homes built with care and quality with a neighbourhood complete with greenspace, shopping and recreation facilities — all at an affordable price. "We're trying to build communities that people can call home," said Ralph DelDuca, Chestnut Hill's vice- president of sales and marketing. "It's important to us to give people the home they want in a great location." The newest gem at The Woodlands is The Pinegate Townhomes, the third phase in Chestnut Hill Homes' master plan for the community. There are 9 different styles to choose from, 1,035 sq. ft. to 1,642 sq. ft., all offering Chestnut Hill's quality features. Prices start at $129,990. The Chestnut, one of the largest offered in the third phase, is 1,592 sq ft. The home boasts three bedrooms and a beautiful family room on the upper floor and spacious kitchen, breakfast area, Wing room and dining room on the main floor. Attention to detail, like custom- made vanities, quality broadloom and luxury oak handrails, is important at The Pinegate Townhomes, as It is everywhere In The Woodlands community. The community began with the selection of a special, natural landscape. A community was envisioned that would accentuate and complement the unique wooded, ravine setting. The Whitby community, which will eventually total some 560 homes, sits on Brock Street just south of Taunton Road backing onto protected greenspace along Lynde Creek. Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village is just around the corner and nearby are several golf courses and conservation areas. Commuters can opt for the Taurdon-Steeles extension or take a short drive south on Brock Street to Highway 401 or the GO Transit station. Shoppers can delight in the small- town ambiance of downtown Whitby or enjoy modern shopping centres in Oshawa to the east and Pickering to the west — both only minutes away. Public and separate schools are all close and there is a proposed school site included in the plans for the community. Also nearby is the new Whitby Recreation Complex. If the location suits you, so will the homes. Chestnut Hill Homes has developed exacting standards of excellence in its creation of homes and communities of lasting beauty. A vision of quality has helped establish upscale neighbourhoods such as Hampton Court in Pickering, Wyndham Village on Bayview Avenue in Newmarket, Villeray in Aurora, Joshua Creek in Oakville, and Saddle Brook in Unionville, to name a few. Chestnut Hill Homes truly creates environments worthy of the discriminating buyer. The company's attention to quality craftsmanship is evident throughout.

The office is closed on Fridays. 14 September 28, 1994 • The Bay News Ajax gives Boddy a break Ajax is bending the rules a little to allow John Boddy to increase the lot coverage maximum in his huge housing project just north of Pickering Village. Boddy asked Ajax council to increase his lot coverage — the proportion the house takes up on a given lot — from 36 per cent to 40 per cent to allow him to build more upscale bungalows. Boddy, who called the coverage increases 'modest," said this was the first time in his 40 years in the real estate business that he had encountered a "cap" requirement for lot coverages. 'I think this will create a much better neighborhood," he said. The 871 -unit development, stretching from just north of Kingston Road to just south of Rossland Road, west of Church Street, will be marketed to the upscale market, Boddy said, with house prices from $275,000 to more than $400,000. Council was told that the majority of the homes will not exceed the original 36 per cent maximum lot coverage requirement. Barneerpeeded to proiec residents A group of Feam 1. Cresceni residents want Ajax to build a barrier along Westney Road to protect them from "negligent" motorists. The town, however, has passed a petition from the residents on to Durham Region because Westney Road is a regional responsibility. Thirty-five residents signed the petition after an out of control minivan smashed through a fence July 24 and crashed into the back of a Fearn Crescent home with enough force to crack the foundation. The petition, initiated by Margaret and Ken Meeking, called the accident "potentially serious" and asked that someone take action before "someone is killed or injured." . The petition has been forwarded to the region but the Meekings have yet to receive a reply, noted Ward 3 councillor Steve Parish, who said he hoped Durham acted quickly "before there are any more accidents." The Feam Crescent homes back onto Westney Road. Poor sewer work leaves residents down; Ajax to pay up The Town of Ajax will spend up to $2,500 to clean up an 'unacceptable' mess left behind at a Seabreeae Road property after sewer construction last year. John Vivian had been refusing to pay his sanitary sewer frontage charges to Durham Region until his property — which was left with front yard and driveway grading problems and tree damage after the work — was fixed up. The work was started by Targa Construction and cleaned up by Ron Robinson Construction after Targa went into receivership in the spring of 1993. Town councillors expressed 'sympathy' for Vivian at the Sept. 22 executive and development committee meeting but turned down his request for a culvert across his front yard, pointing out that it wasn't a normal arrangement for the community. 'That would be setting a dangerous precedent," said Mayor Jim Witty. The town also turned out Vivian's request to forget the whole thing if he could have his frontage charges (likely about $5,000 and payable to the region, not Ajax) waived.

The decision has town politicians fuming because Queen's Park made the move without informing the municipalities, said Ward 4 councillor Jim McMaster last week. 'I don't think we can sit back and take this kind of garbage,' McMaster said. 'This is crummy politics." Municipalities were advised in June — after local budgets were drawn up — that the province would be charging fees of $50 to $120 for each supplementary assessment. The new fees, which took effect July 1, will generate approximately $18 million for the province. Ajax must absorb the full cosi of the charges, even though revenue must be split with Durham Region and the local school boards. 'This is unbelievable," said regional councillor Roger Anderson. 'I find it amazing the government would do this retroactively and expect us to swallow it." The province did say they would discuss a possible sharing of the costs with the region and the school boards in the future, said Ajax treasurer Greg Kirkbride, but the town must 'bear the full cost' in 1994. The City of Mississauga and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario are dead -set against the fees, which will mean a one-half of one per cent increase in Ajax's municipal mill rate next year. Mississauga initiated the municipal protest and is considering a lawsuit against the province. McMaster proposed Ajax contribute $10,000 to Mississauga for legal fees but his amendment was defeated. A show of support for Mississauga's planned court battles was passed unanimousiy, however.

Some negatives he found inside an old scrapbook diary, when printed later, produced a photo of a family in 1913: sitting on the cottage porch, relaxing in the very spot where he had settled to do his sketching. 'Memories of a Summer Day; the painting which resufted from that find, became the first in his famous "Moments in Time" series — now numbering over 60 — each one easily recognizable by its ghost-like images from the past.

"Equally, Robert Bateman and Trisha Romance draw large crowds when they visit," says Ajax gallery owner Tami Kazan, owner of The Outside Solution. "The local following for Lumbers is tremendous." Originally trained at the Ontario College of Art before forging his early career in the world of advertising, 64 -year-old Lumbers has led a full and fascinating life. So unusual, in fact, that his wife, Val Lumbers, has written a biography — a large coffee table volume — on the man she says she has "always felt such a great respect for." A true collector's item, produced in frill color with over 130 color images and 90 black and white sketches and photos, the book has taken Val five years to write. (She also manages his promotion when she isn't busy looking after home and family.) "in 1987, James presented me with the challenge of writing his biography," she says. "1 knew there would be a book written on him one day, so I felt ;hat I should be the one to do it. I know him better than anyone, I suppose." The book, which actually incltxles a real-hfe ghost story experienced by the artist, will be issued as a time-limited release with orders taken in advance, to be available in August, 1995. "It will be a deluxe set," says Val. "Along with the book will be a very rare limited edition print of 'Memories of a Summer Day.' Both will have matching numbers and will be autographed by the artist." Never before released in a limited edition, prints of this important painting are certain to be of interest to investors. "[umbers' work has always done extremely well," says Kazan, noting that market values have doubled and redoubled on many of his orints in a few short years. "His paintings of famous people — his Wayne Gretzky, for example — have attracted an even larger audience to his work-" In the four years since opening The Outside Solution on Westney Road, Kazan has presented a Lumbers show each year. This year's, scheduled for Wednesday, October 5 from 7 to 9 p.m., will also feature a display of the book called Moments in Time: The Art of James Lumbers. Orders are being taken now. You can even have you work of art signed on the glass by Lumbers, "so guests in your home will know that you actually met the artist Memories of James Lumbers. and glory season premiere outstanding By Susan M. Willis The Pickering Philharmonic Orchestra launched its second season last Saturday night at Pickering Nigh School (Ajax). If that evening was any indication of concerts yet to come, this community is in for some outstanding entertainment over the coming months. Perhaps the philharmonics eagerness for this second season was expressed best — and most musically — by Elgai s rousing and exalted Pomp and Circumstance (Land o/ Hope and Glory), the selection which preceded the intermission and provided an appropriate prelude to the final segment — which in turn firmly cemented the adoration generated among those in attendance. Aptly called Youthful Strings, the evening featured narration by Canadian television legend Ernie Coombs, a.k.a. Mr. Dressup. In a spirited, unpretentious performance, capped with a reading of Prokovief's symphonic fairy tale Peter and the Wolf, Coombs charmed young and old alike. Certainly the Philharmonic's program was destined to charm. To its credit, this collection of local talent compiled two concerts — evening and matinee — which targeted the young in particular, and in addition, the young at heart. Classical music has been used to mirror action in everything from Walt Disney feature films to the cartoons that crowd Saturday morning television. The P.P.O. capitalized on this, isolating a perfect hook for youngsters to art. A "Mohammed and the mottraain" kind of thing. But this celebration exterded beyond a mere theme as young people wed pry+ arnong the mangy► guest artists. The Thornhill School of Suzuki String Teaching made an appearance under the tutelage of Windy Seraua L -Smith, the P.P.Os principal second viobnn. Appropriately, this ensemble's selections were composed by men who had, at one time, been child prodigies themselves. Mozart — perhaps the most consp am man -child in history — featured prornka ly, as did the melodic work of lliA& Coofinued on Paae 29 TUMM - brod�`o."ing 1111111112 pR61n WOKE oM- Lw noneft rye TtMM{t., Ru i Ire- Liw W 29, M,, Oa- 11- aRkk M. -Fed TiwcManat Oft 711 M.w. $9. ssiy In 4km MSN MIN6EM MT M • HOME STYLE COOKING • UMM* erwawwerw•�PA@� �111 &I I III AL"To i 11 lI"r1l:I�1 h!!yl The Say Neal • September 78, 1994 25 "YESTERDAY'S LOVE" Image sur 15" x 18" 1 500 s/n "DOL:BLE SPLASH" Image spar. 15" x 18" 25(x) vn "CAPT'AIN'S Q1: ARTERS' Image sin. 15" x 18" 15(K) s r, "THE LOCKET"' Image siae: 17 1/2" x 22" 2500 sin Image six 13' x 24" 1500 s/n Come & meet James Lumbers in person I-'ednesday Oct. 5, 1994 7:00pm-9:30pm • Originals will be on display and for sale. • All pictured images (& more) will be on display and for sale.

Ernie Coombs articulated the thoughts of many in the room when he observed that our culture focuses on the negative far too often when addressing the subject of young people. Indeed.
