Oshawa's Roger Pardy and the abduction of Pickering resident Kenneth Thomas. Police also believe Thomas, missing since the September 14 murder/robbery at Gagnon Sports in south Oshawa, has been murdered. Det. Sgt Chuck Mercier, who is heading up the 10 -man homicide investigative team, said at a press conference Thursday that Thomas' status has been changed from a missing person to a victim of foul play. 'At this point we are satisfied Mr Thomas was abducted and is a victim of foul play," Mercier said. 'He's a victim of homicide." Thomas was last seen at 12:20 pm on the day of the robbery at a Canada Employment Centre in Richmond Hill. Five hours later two men burst into Gagnon Sports, killing Pardy, wounding three others and escaping with a haul of 14 guns. Thomas' 1989 Chevrolet Caprice was used as the getaway car. Mercier said police waited until last week to release descriptions of the killers because of the sheer volume of tips from the public. Police have I m� (� y01-4 eye« :C/� N L Have your Portrait Taken Now * for Christmas Giving — " a victim" interviewed witnesses who saw the suspects leave the scene, drive north on Simcoe Street, west on Bloor Street and into an apartment building parking lot at 123 Bloor St. W. The suspects were then seen backing Thomas' car into a parking spot and leaving the scene on foot, added Staff Sgt. Sandy Ryrie. It is not known if the killers had another car stashed nearby. Mercier said police do not believe there is a connection between the Gagnon Sports incident and the recent robbery of a bank in Port Perry (two suspects are in custody) but haven't completely ruled out the possibility the two cases are linked.

Mercier, however, said the investigation is "going well." .we feel very confident we'll have a successful conclusion," he said. Mercier described Thomas, a carpenter, as a "hard working man" and said he was in Richmond Hill job hunting. He added that Thomas' family thanked the media for their support during the past two months, noting the experience has been -devastating" for the family. Mercier agreed there may have been others who saw the suspects September 14 and police are still looking for tips. The suspects are both described as white males, 25 to 35 years oid with dark hair. The first suspect is 5'6" to 5'8" with a muscular build and the second is 5' 10" to 6' with a slim build.

Pickerin candidate's signs defaced �y "sick" vandal By Glenn Hendry A "sick" vandal has spray - painted "Bitch" on the campaign signs of Erika Babiuk, a local council candidate in Pickering's Ward 3. 'This is rather brutal. I knew politics was a rough game but I wasn't counting on this," Babiuk said yesterday morning after Re -cable Ajax street lights Ron Robinson Ltd. will re- table streetlights on Ajax's mair, street between Highway 401 and Bayly Street. The work will be done over four phases and take one year to complete. Town staff worked with Ajax Hydro in preparing the tender. A total of seven contracters were contacted — including one Ajax firm — but only Ron Robinson and Cliffside Utility Contractors of Scarborough responded. The winning tender totalled $84,862.02. finding the savaged signs. "I just can't believe it. We think we live in nice town. We want to be proud of Pickering and there's people like this out there." Babiuk was campaigning in her ward, which includes parts of central and north Pickering, until 10 pm Monday, which means the vandal struck late Monday night or in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, she said. She discovered the signs after neighbors phoned her at 7:30 Tuesday morning. So far Babiuk, who has pledged to run an honest campaign, has discovered three vandalized signs, in areas of town, miles apart. Two were found at Linwood Street and Liverpool Road and Rosefield Road and Finch Avenue in centrai Pickering. The third was found at Brock Road and 5th Concession, near her Whitevale home in north Pickering. The worst part about the sordid affair, she pointed out, is the defaced signs were in full view of children on their way to school Tuesday morning. Her eight-year-old son Nicholas saw one from his school bus, in fact. 'I think this is really sad," shetb said.,W or Babiuk has no idea of a motive. She said she thinks very highly of her opponents and emphasized that none of them would 'stoop to such a low level" to vandalize her signs. 'I'm so upset I can hardly think," said Babiuk, who owns a Pickering printing company. Babiuk's 21 -year-old daughter Tanya was also visibly upset at the vandalized campaign signs. "Someone's obviously going out their way to do this. This is really sick." The ward is currently held by Enrico Pistntto and is also being contested by Tony van Dinther. The signs, made of wood and scheduled to be recycled for concrete mouldings after the election, are now unsalvageable.

In addition, whether you agree with the charges or not, it's a good example of how the actions of municipal politicians affect the comm irities they are elected to represent and shows the imponance of exer-sing your vote on election day. In the case of the development charge, the board decided to approve a bylaw that would tack an additional $1,400 onto the cost of a new home. That money would be targeted for building schools in new developments, but it would not guarantee that the money would be used to build in the areas from which it was collected. Moreover, the legality of permitting school boards to implement lot levies is currently being cha'lenged by builders. The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear the case The board, meanwhile, is adamant that it will collect the levy and invest the money. However, the court could order the board to repay the funds at an interest rate higher than he money earned. Thus, the taxpayer wtil be on the hook for the difference. The board should have deferred implementing the charges until the courts have dealt with the matter. Few would argue that building schools is a bad thing, especially in, a region where more than 15,000 students spend their days per., up in portables. But the soLton is not in imposing taxes on new developments. It's in the whole community sharing in the cost of growth and development. People in existing neighborhoods have had their schools paid for not only with their own tax dollars, but with the tax dollars of fellow citizens from nearby. That's what a community is. If you look at the school board's approach to funding infrastructure and take it to the extreme, then the costs of hospitals should be imposed on those who use them. The same for municipal structures like swimming pools or ice rinks. It s a user -pay system that is contrary to the spirit of a community being a place where people come together for the good of all. The school shortage solution is co-operation between boards, builders and governments, spiced up with a dose of creative financing and leasing arrangements, not more taxes. Voters should remember as they ponder whether or not to attend the pock on election day, 440nday, Nov. 14, that it is municipal government decisions which most affect the way your tax dollars are spent and not federal or provincial �decisions, "..,.Unfortunately, though, it's usually only the :-provincial and federal elections that draw a majority of voters to the polis. Municipal elections Have a turnout rate that is mired at 32 per cent for Ajax and 35 per cent for Pickering. Remember that the next time you disagree with a local politician's decision. Chances are, you didn't vote and therefore got what you asked for. A ..

Teacher -trustee impartiality questioned Dear editor: I noted a somewhat disturbing situation from your election report "The Race is on..." in the Nov. 2 edition. There are a number of teachers that are running for the various school tnlstee positions. In my area, Pickering Ward 1, there is a teacher running for public schod trustee, one for separate school trustee, and one for separate school for French language. I do not have a "hate on" for tomfiem I enjoyed my education and got along web with my teachers and now as a parent of two children I have had nothing but positive "wow with their teadhe:s. They are caring, hardworking, wonderful professionals. My concern lies in the rnrn(iict�f-ir�fxest tflat each of these candidates will create t they are elected to the Board of FAration as 9chW trustees. As members of a teacher's union or aseodation, they cannot be totaly impartial when dealing with any issues that affect teildhers. How can they negotiate salaries and benefits, deal with such issues as employee cutbacks and increasing dans sizes, or vote on any budgetary issues? These are major responshlities for any schW trustee. — Letters — Are each of these candidates prepared to leave the teaching profession if elected'' If not, will they abstain from these teacher -related concerns each and every time they come up? If they are forced to abstailt, which in all fairness they should be required to do, why would we elect them to these positions in the fast place? When the time comes to deal with these essential issues, Ward 1 deserves a voice other than one that says, "Due to my conflict-of-interest, l must abstain." Rick Sergison Pickering Say no to full-time Dear editor: 1 have been following the media coverage sturounft the upcoming municipal election and am aftidled that at least two carnddates are tying 1114W as their piatlorm As taxpayers, we are the employers of the councillors and trustees and, like any other employer, if we offer a part-time job that pays a part-time salary, why wouid we even entertain those who wish to make it a full-time job? Next thing we know, theo be asking for a [up- time salary and we already pay for full-time staff members to carry out the decisions made by our part-time ootacillors and trustees. It Mrs. Dulny would forego the photo opportunities, as represented on her election material, she could probably manage to get the work done without turning it into a full-time oonupabon! Deanna Roxburgh Ajax McTeague endorsing Pickering cousin Dear editor: In recent weeks Tye talked to many residents of Ward 1, as the municipal election campaign has picked up speed. One very disturbing question keeps rearing its ugly head, and 1 hope 1 am not the only person who is concerned. Way is Dan *Teague endorsing Dave Ryan? More than a few people have been ag coached by Mr. McTeague proffering his federal MP business card and intoduci g Dare Ryan as a Ward l local candidate, but neglecting to mention that W Ryan is his cousin and the participation in the campaigns is at a personal level rather than a federally mandated one. Am I the only one who views this omission as a less -then -honest representation?

Ajax staff upset at committee of adjustment Ajax councillors are upset at a committee of adjustment decision allowing a Field Crescent couple to convert their garage into living space, despite concerns over parking. Staff, in fact, recommended council fight the issue at the Ontario Municipal Board, even though the legal bill for the appeal would be at least $3,000. Council, however, shot down staff's request and will only require Ken and Jodi Robinson meet town parking by-law requirements by widening their driveway to accommodate two vehicles. Roger Anderson, the chairman of the executive and development committee, wondered why staff was so 'adamant" about pursuing the matter wher. there 'at least 10 neighbors who have also done it" and 'just haven't told us." Planning director Peter Tollefsen said they didn't want to set a 'dangerous precedent" and expressed surprised at the committee of adjustment's decision. 'Frankly we're surprised at their decision...traditionally they take a hard line." Mayor Jim Witty was the only councillor to support staff (except over the hiring of the town solicitor) but even he acknowiedged that the matter wasn't of utmost importance. 'This isn't a hanging offence.' Police warn of .fraudulent model agencies Durham Regional Police have issued a warning that fraudulent model agencies may be operating in this area. The bogus agencies conduct auditions in a local hotel or motel, claiming the evaluation fee is refundable if the registrant does not quality. The group then disappears.

Willis Silence is a wall My voice is the wind Silence protects the guilty My voice speaks my truth Silence is a mirror refecting an image My voice is the hammer breaking the glass To honor Woman Abuse Awareness Month, the Clothesline Project opened Nov. 2. Wormen from across Durham Region who have been abused as adults or children created personal works of art on T-shirts to celebrate their transformation from victim to survivor. This traveling exhibit has, early on, generated praise on several fronts. In one respect, each T-shirt evokes the pain of its painter, but easily pulls its audience into the message to the point of fear, offense and even tears. Thus, what may have started as public education initiative has turned into an art exhibit that celebrates humanity at its best and exposes it at its worst. "We are delighted with the critical feedback about the artistic significance of these T- shirts," notes Susan Shepherd, one of the project's founders. "Many visitors are taken with the use of color and placement." Every canvas contributes to the message.

Black signifies emotional or verbal abuse. Red, Pink and orange are for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted. Blue or green are for survivors of incest or child sexual abuse. Purple or lavender give voice to women who have been attacked because of their sexual orientation. All serve to break the victim's silence. Silence is a killer Hired by society To hide the truth My voice is a justice Hied by a child To tell the truth Some particularly poignant moments have surfaced during the project's preparations. Womer who have been permanently silenced have been given a voice. T-shirts were prepared by the family, friends and others who care and survive to tell their story. Many young children have submitted T-shirts in an effort to ease their healing. The infant undershirts that dot the displays translate the scope of this particular horror. I was molested I was raped My brother did it Child sexual abuse and its portrayal in art has garnered a lot of interest recently, primarily because of artist Eli Langer's work, the cries of pornography, and the criminal charges that followed. The works displayed as part of The Clothesline Project provide an in -your -face realism and force the observer to ponder the unthinkable. I tried to die 1 tried to run 1 broke the silence I was put in the dark Art in its many, varied forms often serves as therapy. Rather than trivialize, the art that grows out of agony has celebrated both sluvivai and the courage needed to confront death. "Holocaust art" and the AIDS Quilt are prime examples. The Clothesline Project fits easily within this category and has, as a result, produced some rather unlikely artists. "Some women reported that they sat in front of the T-shirt in silence for some time,' notes Help us help the local food banks by joining us in our GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION Come In and Enjoy a FREE MOVIE November 10/94 Pickering We are offering free admission to a movie on Thurs.

The By Glenn Hendry Ajax -Pickering General Hospital's reprieve from scheduled funding cutbacks will mean little in the long term, said board chairman Joe Atkinson. Last week the hospital dodged a cutback bullet, for one year anyway, that would have meant the closure of 19 beds and the layoff of 30 full-time staff because of "inefficiency" in operations. The 'reallocatior" would have sliced $846,000 — nearly three per cent of the annual budget — off their operational expenses next year. Atkinson said the immediate impact of the suspension means the threat of layoffs and bed closures is delayed, at least until November 1, 1995. But the decision, he added. 'doesn't really help us that much," because the board believes it will win its appeal of the reallocation decision. 'We have a good case and we're interested in hearing the resuh," Atkinson said. "But we don't think we should have been on the (cutback) list in the first place-" The chairman said the hospital should be receiving more money — not less — from the province, citing figures showing Durham as the second - fastest growing region in Canada ar Nein►! and the hospital as the busiest hospital in continuous occupancy in the country. Atkinson also pointed out an internal operational review (1991) concluded the hospital would need to expand by 45 beds, a conclusion also reached in the regional Acute Care Study (1994) that recommended Ajax - Pickering become a fun service hospital serving west Durham. 'Our ability to meet the needs of a growing community is stretched to the limit," Atkinson said. "We're going to need some addifional funds. It's as simple as that." There was no time frame given for the appeal decision announcement, he added. Hospital president Bruce Cliff, while optimistic the appeal will be successful, said the suspension of cutbacks may be just that: a one year reprieve to get the hospital's house in order. The board, he noted, will have to be prepared to deal with rejection. 'It's a possibility, yes," he said. "We'll just have to wait and see." The board will also have to lobby the government to start dealing with the problems the hospital is facing because of Durham's population explosion. "The funding reallocation is good in that we're not faced with immediate cutbacks, but we're still faced with growth - related issues, which puts pressure on the operating budget." he said. Ajax -Pickering was one of 22 Ontario health care facilities affected by the reallocation, which is based on a complicated formula designed to measure the costs per inpatient compared to other hospitals. Atkinson did point out the board is not against reallocations of funds, in principle, only that the health ministry targeted the wrong hospital. Ali levels of staff — union, non-union and medical — as well as the board opposed the funding cuts.

"We're Durham's number one stocking-stuffer outlet," says owner Lou Beauchamp, in reference to his enormous selection of merchandise. 'We also have sporting goods, camping goods, Canadian souvenirs. Whatever people need " Beauchamp points to a display area half -stocked with wrapping paper. 'We just took down a Halloween display to make room for Christmas." The company was founded in 1945 by Harry McLean, to supply tourist outlets in Northern Ontario with gifts and souvenirs. Beauchamp joined the company in 1955 and is now the owner and president. His wife Susan joined in 1965. Their current location at 384 Westney Road South was built in 1986 and McLeans moved in the following year.

Operating mainly in Ontario, McLeans has amassed numerous steady customers over the years. The Toronto Hospital for Sick Children has been a regular for the past two decades, purchasing a steady stream of merchandise to stock its gift shop shelves. McLeans supplies the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs with everything from mugs, shirts and key chains to office supplies and lapel pins. McLeans has also supplied The Insurance Brokers of Canada with similar merchandise for the past 30 years. You have probably stumbled over McLeans merchandise and not even known it. Bronze plaques in the Town of Ajax, commemorating everything from tree plantings to building openings, were supplied by McLeans. The large plaque at the front of the Centennial building comes courtesy of McLeans. Beauchamp credits success with his ability to adapt to changes in the economy 'That's the way to be in business," he says. 'You have to be versatile. In the '50s, 70 per cent of products went through wholesalers. Now it's only about 20 per cent." One way in which McLeans has changed with the times is to open its doors to the public.

S. 2$ Between Beckers & The Hardware Store 683-0407 While Ajax has been preparing to celebrate its 39th anniversary, Mr. Greek restaurant has been busy gearing up to provide a new service — takeout and delivery. For those who want to unwind at hone with a fine meal they can now call upon the exquisite Greek dishes provided by Mr. Greek. Traditional Creek foods like Kalamari, Moussaka and Souviakd can be enjoyed along with a fine steak, chicken entree, sandwiches or salad. Mr. Greek moved into Ajax last spring. The restaurant. located at 75 Bayly St., is owned by Greg Atwood, Moe Pringle and Jim Avgeros. The fine food and unique dining atmosphere at the popular eatery parallels that of its other successful establishments, located in the heart of the Greek community on Danforth Ave. in Toronto and on Kennedy Road in Scarborough. 'We're a full-service restaurant and we are big on value,' said Moe Pringle. 'We have dishes that suit every palate. In addition, we have a kids menu that offers the best value in the area' Since it introduced takeout and delivery, Pringle said the phone has not stopped ringing. Mr. Greek seats more than 200 patrons and can provide an intimate dining experience for two or entertain large groups. Moreover, for those looking for tasty morsels in the upcoming Christmas season, Pringie noted that Mr. Greek also caters parties. The restaurant is licensed and maintains a large selection of Greek, Italian, French and German wines to help wash down appetizers and entrees, such as the Moussaka, which comprises a healthy dose of potatoes, eggplant, zucchini and meat sauce, which is then topped with a Bechamel sauce and served with Greek salad, rice and garlic bread. It's one of the more popular Greek dishes, Pringle said. Now with takeout, it can be enjoyed anywhere in the Pickering - Ajax area, he said, adding that the new service came at the prodding of customers. 'It was due to customer demand. Our customers requested it and we responded to their need." The Management & Staff of Burger King Restaurant would like to congratulate the Town of Ajax on it's 39th Birthday and wish it every success for the future! r — — — — — — - — — — — — —� r — — — — — — - — — — — — —� ;FREE W ,FREE WW� 1 • .li..e brot7ea 05" a Campo I ca.ho i po°e &het a & gt a remaa pame.Broiled i �eoota niwe-I�roiled � Wtww a FREE!- whom• FREE:_ Exp.

Central vacuum systems from Beam are surprisingly economical and can be installed in a few hours without costly structural work or renovations. They are increasingly being demanded because of superior cleaning capabilities and ease of use. Many believe that a central vacuum is very costly. In fact, says Pickering store manager Denis Belisle, a totally installed system costs in the hundreds of dollars not thousands, and can, in fad, cost less than many portable vacuums. For existing buildings, Beam's tube ducting is simply run through existing HVAC ducts so there is no need for costly, messy renovations. There is no loss of performance in heating or cooling resulting from this installation. In new installations, the tube dulling is simply roughed in. In most instances, the complete installation, whether new or retrofit, usually takes less than four hours whether it is in a house, condominium or office. People are demanding central vacuums at an increasing rate for a number of very good reasons. Vacuuming is effortless because there is no heavy canister to lug around and it's simple to do just one room at a time. This makes it particularly appealing for an aging population or those with busy active lifestyles. There are health advantages as well. Breathing is easier because the vacuumed up dirt is not redistributed back into the living area. Beam's built-in vacuums have a number of characteristics that make them the choice of the industry. The power unit provides superior vacuuming power and some models feature a unique patented noise baffling system. Beam's efficient filtration system ensures a cleaner home and cleaner environment. And its ducting system is so unique, should a clog occur, it can easily be found and cleaned. The ducting comes with a lifetime guarantee against corrosion, blockage and perforation. The popularity of Beam systems is based upon our uncompromising quality and reliable performance. That reputation extends to all our systems and accessories and it is an extension of a corporate commitment to innovation and higher technology. Manufacturing, research and development is done in our own Canadian facilities. In fact, Beam's R&D Department operates with a full CSA approval rating. *V� . . . 1 . . . 1 I . . . . . 7h,n /tnv NAmt • Nnv O 7OOA IO _ 401 x rt1'r� Station St. :.. . f��� .. :: .......... .... .....: ..:::. f i fit... f.. r... .iii/%•i:ri: iii i'i:•ii>:.i::ii'rir........r/.x.....f.{{.'1..�;.;;.::�:::•'•:��:%�: w � BAKER'S DOZEN mi m Serves up fresh baked goodies � Baker's Dozen is having a birthday of its own.

Sc (�- HanvoW neat A 10 Nov. 9, 1994 • The Nwws Ajax councillors angry with Durham West MPP Jim Wiseman over anti -water plant expansion letter sent to constituents By Glenn Hendry A letter sent to constituents by Durham West MPP Jim Wiseman, expressing concerns about the expansion of the Ajax Water Supply Plant, is "one- sided" and a 'waste of taxpayers money," say several Aiax councillors. In Wiseman's letter, printed on government letterhead, the MPP asked residents to consider the wisdom of building a new water plant without first adopting water conservation programs, such as toilets requiring less water and tap and shower attachments that minimize waste. 'I believe a program like this should be implemented before they go forward with a very expensive water plant expansion," Wiseman said in the letter. "The region wants to go forward with the expansion and spend millions of doilaars when water conservation measures should be the first option considered." The MPP also hinted there are other options, such as expanding the existing Whitby plant, and, despite public meetings and extensive media coverage, questioned the amount of public input into drinking water issues. Decisions like the one about the water plant are made everyday without the input of the people in these communities." Ward 4 councillor Pat Brown said she was 'astounded" that Wiseman would question the decision to expand the Ajax plant after a three- year approval process. She also took offence with Wiseman's comments on conservation, noting Durham Region is already in the process of implementing water conservation programs. 'However, the initial expansion must occur first." Brown said she will ask residents to begin a letter writing campaign of their own, asking Wiseman for 'clarification" of his comments. Regional councillor Roger Anderson was even more direct, calling Wiseman's letter writing campaign "bad business," "improper" and unfair. "It gives the residents of Ajax the perspective that something is wrong and we all know there's nothing wrong," Anderson said at Monday's council meeting. "It's just a waste of government money. " Mayor Jim Witty also criticized Wiseman, claiming there 'a number of inaccuracies" in the letter. Both Witty and Anderson said they will fire off letters of their own, to Premier Bob Rae and the ministries of health and environment, asking that approval of the water plant be fast -tracked. Construction of the plant awaits only the OK from the government. A regionally -appointed committee recently concluded its duties after water plant designers were able to meet 17 of the 21 provincially -mandated requirements for plant safety. The debate comes on the heels of an announcement that the region has applied to the province for $12 million to help pay for the proposed plant. Durham applied in September to the Ontario Clean Water Agency to help offset the costs of the plant — expected to be at least $70 million — and pay for specialized equipment, such as filters. Anderson, a member of the water plant committee and of the region's works committee, called the grant — if successful — a cash infusion of 'huge proportions." 'Anytime we can get an influx of $12 million, that helps the region of Durham and that helps the taxpayers of the region of Durham," he said. Anderson is unsure when the region will hear from the provincial agency about their grant application. He said Ontario will likely approve the design of the plant first, although that was expected last month. The success story Of BISSELL LTD. BRUCE S{.w:vih:.Yi� Opening date 1972 — Bruce Bissell Buick Pontiac Limited has strived since the very beginning to provide customers with the top level of service both during the buying and service experience. Many companies, large and small, have recently adopted custom service as their watchword, but at Bruce Bissell Buick Pontiac Limited this has been a way of life since 1972. Bissell Buick Pontiac's dedication to customer service is attested to by consistently high rankings in General Motors Customer Satisfaction Index surveys. General Motors sends a survey to customers IIM•\: who have taken delivery of a new GM vehicle m order that the customer can rank the dealer based on several categories: cleanliness on delivery, knowledge of sales staff, number of visits to complete a warranty repair, etc. Bissell customers would recommend the dealership to friends, relatives, neighbors in 987 cases out of 100 based on their sales experience.

The community in north Pickering boasts housing styles that blend ' timeless ideals with a bold vision for the future, highlighted by imaginative room shapes — octagons, pentagons," ---- etc. — and open concepts. There are 80 lots in all in the community, with 22 all-new styles architecturally designed especially for = _ the community. At Fernbrook- Homes, tradition and innovation come together. All the homes are detached — there no townhomes or semi's — and the lots start at 45 feet, going all the way to 65 foot frontages. There are also plenty of courts and cul-de-sacs th f h f li f 1.___ ?v .,_. in a community ort at ea ng o . Fernbrook Homes are chock-full of amenities to go with the privacy, a school right on site, a forest of trees (about $500,000 will beautiful designs. be spent on landscaping, with some I trees as tall as 30 feet), pie -shaped lots, concrete gates and a six-foot fence surrounding the neighborhood. The homes themselves are chock- full of amenities to go with the beautiful designs. To start, the homes are all -brick and there's lots of glass to go around to let the sun shine in, not to mention saving energy. All styles have art niches, many have cathedral ceilings and turret roofs, as well as family rooms, studies, gas fireplaces and double doors. But it's the unique room designs that have people in the industry excited. "These are not the traditional square boxes," said site manager Dino Schirripa. "They're all different. There's a world of difference from other projects." The Clairmont is a 1,750 sq.' ft. bungalow style that lists for $223,990. The house comes on a 50 foot lot with a two car garage and three bedrooms. Amenities include a main floor family room, a three -sided gas fireplace, a garage entrance to the house, main floor laundry, open stairs into the basement, a double -door entrance with decorative columns, two four -piece bathrooms, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom with full ensuite, a breakfast nook (and breakfast bar) with a sliding door to the back yard, a three -sided living room with a turret ceiling and an open concept family room/kitchen. "The Kent is a step up at 3,415 sq. ft. listing at $297,990. The two- storey home comes in four bedroom and five bedroom plans and, like the Clairmont, comes with plenty of open space. The Kent has double -doors - throughout, turret roofs, a sitting room in the master bedroom and the four-bedroom design comes with a study and renaissance ceiling. Both designs have a two-sided gas fireplace and a conservatory on the main floor. There are three bathrooms on the second floor: two are ensuites. They all come with oval tubs, double vanitles and separate shower stalls. r Models homes in the Fernbrook community are expected early in the new year. For those who need a few tips on how to furnish the uniquely - designed rooms, Fernbrook Homes' floor plans come with decorating ideas. Fernbrook Homes, with about 20 years experience in the home- building industry, has earned a reputation as one of the finest builders in the country. They currently have 15 sites on the go across Southern Ontario, mostly in the Greater Toronto Area. The company also offers an excellent warranty, 7.9 per cent financing for three years and possession dates as early as April, 1995.

'We've had 20 sales already," says Kaitlin's man on-site, Gerry Sciara. "People seem to be very attracted to the price." While price undoubtedly does have much to do with this project's instant success, it is difficult to ignore the many other benefits of buying in Rosebank Forest. With premium lots backing onto the Altona Forest, open space to spare, schools, churches and other amenities close at hand, this spot is something special. To start things rolling, Kaitlin is also offering special opening bonuses. "No -charge stone elevation is still a bonus," says Sciara. 'We are still offering a free appliance package: . fridge, stove, washer and dryer. Some models have central air included in the price; in some, walk -out basements are being offered at no charge. 'But," he stresses, "we can't say how long these will last. A lot of these features could change within a relatively short period of time." In other words, don't delay. Minimum down payment and deposit is 5 per cent of the sale price; at present, 10 per cent will get you a free gas fireplace. 'It's possible you could get up to a $12,000 package, if you Minty n down payment and deposit is 5 per cent of the sale price. work it right," he adds. Perhaps best of all, starter homes are being offered here. Prices start at $149,990 for a 1,085 sq. ft. There are 9 models to choose from ranging up to 1,761 sq. ft. While most are semi-detached, 3 -bedroom homes, some models are My detached on 45 ft. lots. High-pitched rooffines and garages tucked neatly into designs also contribute to attractive and functional streetscapes. "Some. homeshave su per open pen concept designs, says Sciara. 'You get variety at no extra cost. Some even have an open loft area on the second floor." Cathedral ceilings, ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets are featured in many models. Kaitlin's future plans — to add primarily detached homes at higher prices — also makes this an excellent investment Opportunity as prices on these semis are almost guaranteed to rise. Model home - t ­:­ at Kaitlin's nearby Twyn Rivers project are available for viewing by appointment. ...Other examples of this builder's established quality, which has earned an excellentrating from the Ontario, New Home Warranty Program, can I be seen in Bowmanvilles Aspen Springs community or at the luxurious Barton Farm Estates in Uxbridge.

The Parkside, a three or four- bedroom home, the Summerfield at 2,680 sq. ft. and the Castlewood, at 2,982 sq. ft., are exciting additions to Queen's Commons, a quality community in Whitby's west -end exclusively developed by Monarch since 1987. The Parkside, at 2,725 sq. ft., features a sunken living room topped by a magnificent cathedral ceiling and two-story open space family room with vaulted ceiling. The family room is joined across the back of the home with the kitchen and breakfast area as one open area. It's perfect for entertaining. The kitchen area is country -sized, efficiently designed, and leads to a large breakfast area that overlooks both the back garden and the family room. The Parkside model also features a second floor library with hardwood floors and a liberal dose of palladlan windows — inckading a huge bay in the master bedroom — that create bright sunlit rooms reminiscent of exclusive California horaes. ,.,..,The Monarch Group (through Its A.B.
