HomeMy WebLinkAboutBN1995_01_18Call for GTA reform draws mixed reviews by Glenn Hendry Local politicians unanimously agree that changes to the powers of the Greater Toronto Area are needed but Premier Bob Rae's call for sweeping reforms to the workings of Canada's most powerful region is drawing mixed reviews. Rae wants to set up a task force, headed up by Donald Macdonald (a former Liberal finance minister who spends his weekends in the Uxbridge area). to reform the mandate of local and regional -overnment in the area, which stretches from Burlington to Bowmanville and north to Nn,market. Some of the issues that will be addressed include changes to property and business taxes and school financing (a hot issue in Metro), integrated transit, the cutting of service duplication between different levels of government and possibly the redrawing of municipal borders to create one super city. Anderson says no to detention centre expansion by IKatfi11 m Graf & Regional councilor Roger Anderson says help use his 'municipal powers to the finest" to stop the expansion of a hid -security detention centre for youths. Anderson told Ajax council Monday residents near the Kennedy Youth Centre want assurances the expansion won't come closer than 400 feet from their homes. 'This is not just a little juvenile detention centre,' said Anderson, who represents regional Wards 3 and 4. 'This is a high sear* detention centre — not for people who skip school," he said. He also asked that Rotherglen Rd. residents be advised of any meetings the centre has regarding the expansion so they can stay inlorrned. Coutimad on Page 3 Durham regional Chairman Gary Herrema agrees there should be some changes made, especially in the areas of integrated transit and duplication of services, but vows to fight any move 'tooth and nail" to increase the GTA powers at the expense of local government. "That's not acceptable. I don't want to see government further removed from the people," he said. "I don't know exactly what they're talking about but I do know I don't want more government." Herrema said the idea of a super city will not win any support in Durham, especially in the rural areas. Ajax Mayor Jim Witty agreed and conceded the task force may be "overly ambitious" in scope. "There's certain cost-cutting measures, like eliminating some duplication of services, but, Continued on Page 2 Media company buys Bay News The Bay Neon has been sold and if the new publisher gets his way, therell be a lot more community news reaching residents of Ajax and Wig- 'We want to get out and cover the community," says Jim Middlemiss, the new pubfisher and president of Shoreline Newspapers Inc., which purchased The Bay News from P.B.N.

Now it's tune to make some noise and get to know the community better," says Middlemiss, a lawyer and journalist.

Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said progress has already been made on some of the possible changes, with task forces or commissions underway or completed on transit integration, property tax reform and education. Arthurs, however, welcomes the new task force, calling changes to the GTA system "necessary." "There's strong recognition from the bottom up that the status quo can't stay forever. There has to be changes," he said. 'It's necessary at many levels for the future prosperity of the Greater Toronto Area." Arthurs said the whole area could benefit from a different set of priorities but noted, from a "parochial" standpoint, Pickering is in a very competitive position and in no hum• to make changes. The Pickering mayor sees the possible integration of policing — there are fne different police forces in the GTA — as one possible money saver, pointing out that policing eats up half the regional budget each year. Herrema, who accused the premier of timing the announcement, with an election on the horizon, for political gains, said that any recommendations that come out of the task force will likely be minor in nature. Ak Mayor Wayne Arthurs 'I think you'll see some minor adjustments, not major adjustments. People will just not want to see that large a government," he said. `But what will happen, I don't know. I think we're all getting our act together quite well. (Rae's plan) is mostly political, not practical." Arthurs doesn't see the idea that way, however, and doubted the plan will tip the scales of an election one way or the other. taskforce "1 don't see it as an election ploy. It's timely and it's been talked about for the past year; eighteen months," he said. "It's an important initiative to undertake. I don't think the process will come up with anything tremendously new but it has the potential to create the ,ype of debate necessary to implement changes and to put the wheels in motion to implement changes." Herrema said the task force should concentrate at areas like roads, economic development and planning. Durham and the kxal municipalities spent more than $5 million on planning last year but the regional chairman noted there may be "turf wars" at the local level if there's a call to cut back on local planning powers. A time frame for the task force has not been established but Rae said he doesn't want to see results coming forward in two or three years, only to sit on a Queen's Park closet — with a number other GTA reform revorts —to gather dust Don't miss your chance to really clean up on Beam Central Vacuums!

While the expansion won't increase the number of youths at the centre, which is 23, it Includes new dorms, a gymnasium, and additional classrooms that will increase the centre's size — and proximity — to local residents. Council objected to the expansion initially but found their hands were tied after a divisional court ruling stated since the centre had been up and running for more than a decade, they had the right to do as they chose with the land. "They are proposing a higher security centre in the middle of what's going to be the future prestige development in Ajax," he said. "The A-6 development is low density, homes on 60 or 70 -foot lots just to the north, and I don't think it's appropriate to re- develop that centre considering that," Anderson said after the meeting. "We had the opportunity to appeal but council said no.

He even suggested a scheme where developers may consider trading lands in the area to ensure the centre's addition be as far away from residents as possible. "They have to apply for a site plan process that will result in council slowing down the process as much as we can," he said. "The problem is if they don't agree they can take us W to court." Anderson said the problem is the zoning of the land has changed and now the town hopes to attract executives and other business people to the new upscale development. "I realize it's been there a long time, but it will be much larger and far more secure than it is now," he said. "These are not kids who break into houses, these are serious offenders committing severe crimes," he added. Tho Day News .January 78, 7995 3 MONDO CAFE The Gracious Mansion at 121 Green St..

Councillors also added marginally to the budget by increasing the communications budget (for car phones, pagers and office equipment) to $15,000 from $10,430 and allowing for an $7,900 increase in the Pickering -Ajax -Whitby Animal Control budget.

Councillors also shelved a $600,000 planned expenditure for a park near the Pickering Recreation Complex until next year, although that money was scheduled to come from parkland reserve and the not the general levy. The biggest project in this year's budget is the Claremont Community Centre, now pegged at approximately $2.7 million. But the town's one-third share will come out of reserve accounts and not affect the mill rate. Two other large road projects — both partially funded by the federal and provincial governments — are the reconstruction of Fairport Road (sewers, curbs and sidewalks) at $1,748,100 and the reconstruction of Spruce Hill Road, Strouds Lane and Welnu Street at $1,726,700. The town's portion of both projects Will come frau the general levy. Other road projects (totalling $2,164,910) include $425,000 for Hillcrest Road (Westshore Blvd. to Vicki Dr.), intersection improvements to Concession 5 at Brock Road ($250,000), and $150,000 for Pickering's share of a tri -party project (with the town of Ajax and developers) on Notion Road. One road improvement deletion that drew debate Monday night was an deletion to improvements to Glendale Road, at a cost of $707,000. The biggest single expense for Pickering this year will be the fire department, with operating expenses of more than $6.2 million, plus $461,450 in capital expenses.

Since last February, when Shoreline Newspapers eyed the opportunity of moving into the Ajax/Pickering market. I have been learning about the communities by the lake, their history and their make up. In addition, I have had the opportunity to meet a number of people, ranging from Gerry Goodis at Consumer Car Mart to Piickering's Manager of Economic Development Joan Alfrey to Ajax Town Administrator Barry Maimsten. Of course, a quick handshake with the mayors during the recent election allowed me to meet a number of politicians and political want-to-bes (although why they pursue the job is beyond anyone's imagination as politics is a thankless task). What struck me most about the people 1 have met is their spirit and belief in Ajax and Pickering. its commendable. and The Bay News intends to exhibit the sarne spirit. I have also spoken with a number, Of residents. including a few irate souls who made some unflattering remarks about a feu stories and suggested engage in anatomical aerobics that are physically impossible.

"Ajax and Pickering are growing towns in a dynamic metro region that some would say is the hub of Canada. The community comprises high Income earners and professionals. It's a sophisticated market that wants to read about the community," says Middlemiss. "We look forward to delivering that message and assisting local advertisers in meeting their marketing needs." Middlemiss said he has met a number of local business people and politicians and looks forward to meeting more. "I'd like to meet one new person a day and learn what's happening in his or her field so we can tell our readers and advertisers what they need to know." Middlemiss said there will be some changes in the look and format of the paper, but he was reluctant to discuss what those changes would be or when they'd take place. 'They'll be implemented over time and done to enhance readership. I'd like to expand coverage in a number of areas, particularly local sports, which is often the heart and soul of a community," says Middlemiss, who at one time worked on a weekly newspaper in High River, Alberta, and aspired to be a sports writer. His most recent foray into newspapers was assisting Canada law Book launch Law Times, a "trashy tabloid" for Ontario lawyers, for which he still writes a column. Middlemiss is also a frequent contributor to the Financial Post and Investment Executive and said he'd like to improve the business coverage in The Bay News. "The bottom line is I want feedback. I want people to tell us what they want to read, tell us when we screw up and, hopefully, give us the odd pat on the back. If we're not delivering what you want to read, then let us know." The 33 -year-old who once worked at the Canadian office of the international law firm Baker & McKenzie, noted a recent Angus Reid poll showed that nearly two-thirds of individuals read their community newspaper. "That's staggering, and provides a tremendous opportunity for advertisers, and they need to be aware of that. Thirteen million Canadians read their community newspaper and almost eight out of 10 read it each week. We have a very real responsibility to provide readers with information they need to make decisions in their daily life, whether it's telling them where to buy a new car or what's playing at the local cinema, and we aim to deliver." Middlemiss noted the previous owner, Chere Bunting, will remain on staff in a consulting capacity. 'Chere's a great resource, ha -Ong been with the paper from more than 20 years before purchasing it from the previous owners in the 1980s," said Middlemiss. "We hope to build on what's here and take it to new heights." After 24 years of working with The Bay News, former owner Chere Bunting said she's looking forward to the chance to slow down a bit and spend more time with her other business breeding champion Arabian show horses. Bunting, who recently sold the paper to Shoreline Newspapers Inc., said she will remain in a consulting capacity because "it's hard to get the paper out of my blood." "It's great to have her around. She's a wealth of knowledge about the region, its advertisers and readers." said Jim Middlemiss, new publisher of the paper. Bunting started -with The Bay ;News during high school and worked for the founders of the paper, the Robertson family. She grew through the ranks from advertising representative to owner, when she bought the paper from George Robertson in 1988. Bunting credits Robertson with her success in the business. "I'd like to send out a special thank you to George Robertson for allowing this to be possible," said Bunting. Bunting took the paper from a circulation of 17,000 to 35,000. Along the way they added special sections, such as First Choice Homes, and continually sought to introduce innovative ideas for their advertisers. "We watched this community grow from dirt roads to paved highways," said Bunting, adding that her biggest "high has been working with the community and meeting all these wonderful people.

In an attempt to reach its $1 - million goal, the organization ,an various mini campaigns and collected donations from September through to the end of the year and was able to raise X904,756. Dennis Goulin, executive -Jirector of the United Way of Ajax -Pickering, said he felt that the reason the organization missed its goal was because of the recession and low �mployrnent in industries from 4,nich the organization receives large portion of its pledges. Although the United Way was only slightly under $100,000 away from its million -dollar goal, Goulin is still concerned about meeting the needs of the services the organization funds. 'We had established a goal of $1 million," he said. 'We have people who count on our funding and when the donations don't come in, there is a concern that those needs might not be fulfilled." Goulin said now that the numbers are in, the organization will sit down and review the needs and compare them to the available funds. The United Way of Ajax - Pickering helps fund services such as the YMCA, the Big Brothers and the Red Cross. Goulin would like to extend 'a heartfelt thank you to all donors" OMB reaches compromise Co-operation and compromise may prove to be the ticket to satisfaction at a proposed residential development in east Pickering. Pickering council has reversed a 1991 amendment to return a parcel of land at Southview and Kingston roads to medium density zoning. The amendment will allow a townhouse development on the site and probably avoid an expensive Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing, saps Pickering planning director Ned Carroll. The development proposal has been on the books since 1990 and two pre0ous plans were both rejected by area residents. The matter even went to the OMB but Zurich Indemnity Corporation, who took over from 777934 Ontario Ltd. as property owners last August, asked for an adjournment, saying they had a plan they hoped would satisfy the residents. That plan., which will include two detached homes and up to 106 townhouses a stone's throw from Pickering Village, appears to have the blessing of the residents, Carroll said. 'We're hoping this will mean there will be no need for a lengthy (OhtB) hearing,' Carroll said. 'We're hoping for a settlement.' Several Southview residents asked council to approve the Zurich plan William Wright, who has lived on the street since shortly after the Second World War: said council has a "moral and political obligation' to rerrn the lands to medium density. Neighbor Dudley Williams said the lands have been "in limbo' for four or five years and asked the issue finally be settled. Jane Pepino, a noted Toronto planning lawyer representing Zurich, also adressed council and asked for approval of the housing project without 'additional controls.' Four council -approved amendments to the plan were added, however, including placing a 'hold' on the projects until the the town is satisfied the development site plan meets Brock East neighborhood guidelines and the residents are included in the decision making. The parties are scheduled to meet with the OMB Feb. 1-3. ONE -THIRTY COURT i SUPER BOWL PARTY We have a large selection of Hors D' Oeurves to choose from.

The relocation will be accomplished through ren- ovations to their existing building on Bayly Street and with the construction of a 12.750 sq. ft. addition.

Durham Regional Police changed Thomas' status at a press conference in Pickering from a missing person to a victim of foul play. Thomas' car was used by the killers after a shooting spree at the gun shop that left store owner Roger Pardy dead. Police also revealed a description of the two sus - pests in the case. •00 Incumbent Wayne Arthurs outlasted chal- lenger Kip Van Kempen to retain his mayor's job, win- ning by a 427 -vote margin. The race was a tug of war with Arthurs barely wrestling his way to a third term. Arthurs victory was only assured as the final 15 per cent of the ballots were being counted. Arthurs will be joined on council by incumbent regional council- lors Maurice Brenner and Rick Johnson and newcom- er David Farr-, repeat local councillor Enrico Pistritto and rookie councillors Dave Ryan and Sherry Senis. In Ajax, Mayor Jim Witty fought off a challenge from darkhorse Janis Mitchell to capture the mayor's seat for the third, and last time. Witty was an easy winner, topping Mitchell by more than 4,400 votes. Mitchell's performance, however, was better than expected. Witty said this term would be his last, sentiments he also expressed three years ago.

Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs says the provincial government is wasting tax- payer dollars by spending money on studying two incompatible projects — the EE11 future dump site and the proposed Seaton community. Both projects are situated on the same parcel of land in north Pickering. By the end of the year Queen's Park will have spent some $21 mil- lion over four years plan- ning the two projects, Arthurs claimed. see Durham Nuclear Awareness is claiming Ontario Hydro is blackmail- ing the provincial environ- ment ministry by saying the proposed tritium stan- dards for drinking water could cost the utility more than a billion dollars. Ontario Hydro claims the proposal to drop the tritium limit from 40,000 bequerels per litre to 100, with a fur- ther reduction to 20 in five years, would place a heavy economic burden on their nuclear stations. The state- ments outraged the anti- nuclear group, who said Ontario Hydro is trying to scare the ministry. December Peter Stark, the man accused of killing Pickering teenager Julie Stanton more than four years ago, was found guilty and sen- tenced to life imprison- ment, with no chance of parole for 25 years. Durham Regional Police homicide detectives and Stanton's family won't close the books on the case, how- ever, owever, until the teenager's body is found. The Dunbarton High School student disappeared April 16,1990. 000 There was bad news and good news from a heavy water spill at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station Dec. 10. The bad news is more than 130 tonnes of trr tium-laced heavy water burst onto the reactor floor at the nuclear plant, dwarf- ing an 1992 spill when three tonnes of radioactive water spewed into Lake Ontario. The good news is the emergency safety sys- tems worked properly and the leak was stopped within hours. The spill happened after heat transport valves at the aging station opened unexpectedly. The accident occurred only four days before the Atomic Energy Control Board is to rule on the future of the station's operating licence. Gary Herrema retained his Durham Regional chair- manship by acclamation at the first meeting of the new regional council. Herrema has held Durham's top political post since 1980 and hasn't faced opposition since winning it for the first time. see Pickering Nuclear Generating Station director Pierre Charlebois says a design flaw may have been responsible for the recent spill of 140 tonnes of heavy water at the plant. A three- inch diameter carbon -steel pipe in Unit 2 ruptured Dec. 10 after a pressure relief valve in the coolant system failed, causing the spill. Ontario Hydro doesn't yet know why the pipe burst, but are speculating it may have linked to vibra- tion, which may point to a design flaw. 000 Several small businesses in Pickering and regional councillor Maurice Brenner are upset that some compa- nies trying to pay back taxes are being harassed by the town while the Metro East Trade Centre, in hock to Pickering for more than $350,000, gets preferential treatment. The trade centre has been in receivership since last spring. A $123,000 bill for outstand- ing market licence fees from last year is now going to collection. :;�i�i�community Calendar is a regular feature on upcoming events.

(Eaa of &vA Rd.) Pic *dit _a Pickering Theatre Festival witch hunt The Pickering Theatre Festival opened Friday with Arthur Miller's award-winning The Crucible, presented by Theatre Durham. Director John Foote, who specializes in post- war American drama, describes the piece as Miller's best work and 'probably the most important play of this century.." The Crucible retells the Salem witch trials from the individual's perspective. Ali the characters are based on real people from Salem of 1692. The Puritan laws of that time valued hard work and judged enjoyment of life a sin. Trouble begins when a group of teenage girls looking for adventure participate in voodoo ceremonies and wild dancing in the woods. Abigail Williams (played by Carmela McFadven) lusts for John Proctor and conjures spirits in an effort to kill his wife. When the girls are discovered, their activities are considered the work of the devil and they're accused of witchcraft. To save thenselves, they deny their guilt and claim to have been bewitched. Abigail leads the others in a ON of accusations and hysteria mounts as the witch hunt begins. Those who refuse to 'confess" to witchcraft are hanged John Proctor (played by Kamf Martin) is placed in the dif%ianit position of trying to stop the madness after Abigail confesses the truth to him — there are no wtiches; her acasatim are hes. Proctor is an ineffective saviour because he is tormented by personal uncertainties. He has had an affair with Abigail and is unable to deal wish his guK WITCH HUM': Carmela McFadyen plays Abigail Williams in Crucible. Wd iiams is persecuted by, from left, Rev. John (Karl Martin) and Rev. Parris (Michael Serres). When Proctor is wrongly accused of witchcraft himself, he struggles with his conscience and his self -value. To save himself, he's asked to 'confess his sins". Proctor weighs the further sin of a false confession against the value of a noble Christian death. '1'm no good man," he says. 'Nothing's spoiled by giving them this he.' Proctor finally finds his sahetion and regains his self-respect by refusing to he. Ultimately, he is true to himself and to his beliefs. Theatre Durham's powerful production leaves a lasting Impression. Newcomers McFadyen and Nicholas Woods (as Reverend Hale) are coni cM in their roles. Watch also for strong performances by Carolyn Goff (Mary Warren), Robin Doan (Elizabeth Proctor) and especially Karl Martin as Proctor. Arthur Miller wrote the play In the aftermath of the 1950s McCarthy hearings. He himself was questioned by the house of Un-American Activities Committee and, when he refused to answer questions about his acquaintances, was wI« Wacn Theatre Durham's production of The Hale (Nicholas Woods), John Proctor indicted for contempt of court. His story of the Salem witch trials implies a parallel wdh the McCarthy's investigations into subversion. The sound track of Theatre Durham's production includes tapes from the actual McCarthy hearings. Director Foote has been with Theatre Durham for nine years and is currently President of the organization. '1 made it my mandate," says Foote 'to challenge our actors and our audiences.' The Crucible runs January 20, 21, 27, and 28. The Pickering Theatre Festival continues in February with the Pickering Players' production of Nei Simon's The Gingerbread Lady, playing February 17, 18, 24, 25 and March 3, 4. Antares Theatre Productions will present Alan Ayckbourn's How the Other Half Loves on March 24, 25 and 31. All performances begin at 8 pm sharp, at the D unbarton -Fairport United Church. 1066 Dumbarton Road in Pidrering.

The greatest asset an athlete can have is a healthy and agile body. To achieve this, a fitness program has to be mapped out and followed. There are numerous ways of maintaining a strong fitness level. Swimming, cycling, jogging, among others, can be practised as individual sports or used to enhance skills and strengths needed for other games. The best activity for keeping fit is gymnastics. Ajax/Pickering residents are fortunate to have an ideal spot for their children to learn, practise and enjoy gymnastics. The Ajax Acros Gymnastics C!ub, which has been around .or almost two decades, provides training by experienced and certified coaches. 1Ve are a recreational -based gymnastic club for boys and girls," says Isabelle Graham- Redshaw, head instructor. She added that, "We have about 450 members and next September will be the club's 20th season." The dub promotes a variety of activities for different age groups. The Parent -Tot group, for children between one and three years old, lasts for 45 minutes. Next is Kindergym, designed for children between the ages of 3 and 5. That runs for an hour. The club employs a level system and the kids progress at their own rate through six levels. Every time children complete a session — either in the fall, winter or spring — they get a ribbon and advance to the next level. After Kindergym, there is junior gymnasts (for ages 6 and up). The class is an hour -and -a -half. They, too, work on a level system. Last is the senior group for ages nine and up. It's a rwo-hour time slot. 'They get a little more time because they have more to do." explains Graham- Redsha, The system is used as a guideline for the development of the skills of each child. The children work towards their level in each session. The dub uses the Canadian GLmnastics Federation Level System, which incorporates the six dominant movement patterns — static position, landings. springs, swings, rotation and locomotions The club participates in recreational competitions. "We health' I send our children for meets to other clubs. But it is recreational ... we don't take oart in pro.incial or national meets." "if a child is exceptionally! food at gymnastics and wants , to pursue it at a higher level, parents are encouraged to send the kids to a competitive club," said Dave House, dub treasurer. "Since we are not involved in high-level competitive gymnastics, what we would do in such cases is recommend to parents of those talented I children to admit them to one of the clubs which is fully geared for such traininq and also takes part in high level competitions.' House noted that Lori Strong started here before representing Canada at the Olympics in rhythmic I gmnastics. Thais quite an achievement for the Acros. The club is charged with an atmosphere of gusto and excitement .you never know who can achieve greatness.

Canadian Tire introduced its auto repair drop-off service for commuters at Pickering, Oakville and Clarkson GO stations on Monday. It will also be available at the Erindale GO station on Jan. 30. It's an industry first, said Dave Lush, director of auto services at Canadian Tire. On the way home, a shuttle service greets customers at the station and transports them back to the store to pick up their car. This service is free, Lush said. 'This is a great convenience for commuters and an example of the added value our customers expect from Canadian Tire," Lush said. "We've eliminated the conflict of catching a morning train and taking your car in for repairs at the same time." Canadian Tire employees will staff the auto service kiosks Monday to Friday between 6 and 8:30 a.m. After taking the customer's order, the car is transported to a local Canadian Tire for servicing. The Pickering store is located with 1- 2 kilometres of the station. 'The program responds to a need identified by our customers and allows us to provide a value- added service to busy commuters, helping them look after their vehicles," Lush said. He added the service will be tested in each GO station over the next six months.

J Blazer soars to new heights 1995 Chevy Blazer All new for the 1995 model year, the Blazer is trying to grab a part of the growing sales of sport utility vehicles. Having lived with an older Blazer for six months, I was very excited about trying the latest version of the vehicle. For 1995, there is only one engine in the Blazer line-up, the high output 4.3 -litre V6. This powerful engine is more than enough to adequately handle the needs of the vehicle. On the other hand, I found this engine to be thirsty, which was a little disappointing. I really thought that the improved "aero -look" of the Blazer might improve gas mileage The Blazer is available in two or four-wheel-drive configurations. A two and four - door model will be available :... 719 L} Real off-roaders will be disappointed to hear that the 5 - speed manual transmission will only be available on the two - door models. A 4 -speed automatic will be the norm on most of the models_ Overall, I am getting to like the looks of the new Blazer. It's rounded shape has taken a little getting used to. - REsu1LT BRAKE KITS 6.5*X' Rockwell 4 99 16.5'X7" Rockwell a Rebuilt Brake Kit 16.5N-FRLAS4 Eaton , $4650 16.5'x7' Eaton Rebuilt Brake Kit •FR11FS451556X $4399 16.5'X7" Fruehauf XEM Rebuilt Brake KK 'Exchange price, cors extra.
