Johnson said the announce- ment was made at the Ontario Traffic Conference by Carl Vervoort, a senior official with the Ontario transportation ministry. According to Vervoort, the $55 -million tender for the high- way widening was awarded to Dufferin Construction and will be completed in two years. The con- struction will be continued from the bridge currently being built across the Rouge Valley to White's Road. 9-1-1 glitches not ` cause for concern' A pair of apparent glitches in the 9-1-1 emergency phone sys- tem earlier this year should not be a "cause for concern" for Pickering residents, says town manager Timothy Sheffield. Ward 1 councillor Dave Ryan asked for a staff report after learning of a fire emergency near Whitevale Feb. 11 and a medical emergency on March 17 near Claremont. The emergency call for the first incident was routed to the Markham fire department instead of Pickering. A request for fire department assistance during the second emergency (a senior, visiting a friend, died after choking on a piece of meat) came from ambulance services, not 9.1- The report from town staff, however, concluded the emergen- cy call on March 17 was properly routed to ambulance services, which then called for fire depart- ment epart ment backup, considered a nor- mal procedure. The emergency call during the Feb. 11 fire was indeed routed incorrectly (the phone, while physically located in Pickering, has a Markham exchange), Sheffield concluded, but the delay only cost fire department staff approximately 20 seconds. Ryan, while satisfied there isn't a cause for alarm. promised to meet with the region's 9-1-1 committee for more information.

Several residents and community leaders were on hand Monday night in the council chambers to lend their endorsement to the plan, a concept that council- lor Jim McMaster calls a "good starting point" to take the town into the future. Not everyone sees eye - to -eye with the Ajax vision, however. Bruce McMinn, a lawyer representing Hi -Rise Developments, said the town missed the boat in cre- ating a "benign" use for the lands at the foot of Harwood Avenue by proposing a 310 -slip marina. He called the concept a cross between "Art Park and Coney Island." McMinn's client, who owns four hectares at the site, has been trying to get town approval for a town- house project, while bypass- ing a regional requirement to build a marina. Hi -Rise and the town are headed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) over the issue. McMinn, while admit- ting his client knew when they bought the land a marina component was part of the package, is upset the town is claiming extensive public consultation while making "no overtures" to Hi -Rise. The Toronto lawyer said he is "mystified" with the town's lack of negotiations, calling the marina vision an "untenable proposal," while predicting a favorable decision from the OMB within six months. Former regional councillor Joe Atkinson, speaking in favor of the waterfront plan, said he is "mystified that the council for Hi -Rise is mystified" over the town's marina dreams, noting that if McMinn believes town- houses are a better use for the lands than a public marina, "then he's not dreaming in black and white, he's dreaming in technicolor." McMaster also took offence with McMinn's claims, noting the water- front plan was only devel- oped after town staff lis- tened to the residents. "Only time will tell whose vision will come true," McMaster challenged. The only other concern came from a Pickering Joe Atkinson Beach resident. The town and the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority want to buy up the five remaining lots on Lakeview Blvd. for a public boardwalk. Without public ownership the boardwalk dream will not happen and Joe VanRossem is afraid the town may try to take his property without his approval. Mayor Jim Witty, para- phrasing Woody Guthrie, tried to reassure VanRossem that the power on private lands still rests with the landowner, not the town. "This land is your land. You can do with it as you wish. No one is inter- ested in taking your land away from you unless you L wish to sell." VanRossem, who has no plans to sell, is not com- pletely convinced. "It's won- derful living there but we feel uncertain about our future," he said. The 100 page -plus report, prepared by the town's planning depart- ment, is the result of six years of study of what the residents want to see on the lakefront. The final "master - plan" is a result of public feedback and the town's desire to blend environmen- tal and recreational con- cerns into a "people place" that will be a "dynamic focus" for the community. Some of the plans for the land, such as the perform- ing erforming arts centre (Harwood Point) and the wildlife edu- cation centre (Simcoe Point) , are long range pro- posals, said Witty, who admitted a few other plans may be altered by the time the concept becomes reali- ty! "When the waterfront is totally developed it will not look like what we saw tonight. But a lot of the con- cepts will be there," he noted. "It's a vision for the future."

Brenner said town employees have cleaned up a bridge on Whites Road, just north of Dunbarton High School .at least a half-dozen times" in the past two months alone and works crews have brought out the white-out in several other locations as well, including a culvert at Steeple Hill Park where someone had painted the letters 'IK.' "It's an ongoing battle, combating racism," says Brenner, who landed him- self in hot water during last fall's election cam- paign by repeating media statements that claimed Dunbarton was a "breed- ing ground" for local neo - nazi groups.

"World No -Tobacco Day provides us with an oppor- tunity to realize the silent majority of non-smokers should be acknowledged.

TO 1-800-668-5779 (to erase the graffiti), it's also a social cost." Brenner said graffiti related to youth gangs is also on the rise in Durham. These messages, spotted from Highway 401 on railway bridges at Whites Road and Liverpool Road in Pickering, and at Church Street and Harwood Avenue in Ajax, are usually quite creative in design and are left as "turf cards" by gangs. Brenner doesn't believe the increase in gang-relat- ed angrelat- ed graffiti means there is any great push by Metro youth gangs into the region, however. "I don't think Durham is any more secluded from the youth gang movement than any- where else in the GTA. But it is something we have to look at." Brenner cautioned CN Rail officials, who are responsible for the bridges, to contact Durham Regional Police before removing any of the messages. OIL TUNE UP TRANSMISSION CHANGE 4 cyl.

Our water supply system must be ready to meet daily water demands. w hile keeping enough water in storage for emergerny needs, such as fire 112htin:. Twice a day our water demands reach a peak level, usually during the early morning and early evening hours. In the warm weather months. outdoor water uses, especially lawn watering, cause our water demands to reach even higher peaks during those same time periods. The water we use for lawn and garden care, filling swimming pools and doing otter outdoor tasks. can add many millions of litres a day to our demand for drinking water. The Outdoor Effect To understand just how much additional water our system must pump, let's focus on the effect lawn watering can have on the demand. if only 5.000 residents watered their front and back lawns for l2 hour, they could use more than 5 million litres (or more than I million gallons) of drinking water. Imagine the strain that level of demand puts on our water system! Doing Your Part We need the help and co-operation of every water user to avoid the demand that outdoor water use can put on our drinking water supply system. When watering your lawns please water according to these guidelines. Lawn Watering Guidelines: . Odd -numbered addresses on odd -numbered calendar days Even -numbered addresses on even number calendar days In addition, if the system faces critical shortages, lawn watering use will be restricted during the haus of 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Check your next water bill for our "Efficient By Nature" information piece.

Racist graffiti is on the rise and so is neo -nazi recruitment of local youth, Brenner claims. Works staff have been busy this spring whitewashing hate graffiti and Brenner uses evidence from Anti Racist Action to back up his recruitment claim. The Toronto group, which says Metro police are investigating "pos- sible links" between white supremacists and the explo- cion at Calibre Court in Scarborough. say racists are trying to recruit youth from Dunbarton, Pine Ridge and Ajax high schools. That's something that should be a concern to all of us. Waterfrontplan a pipedream? The future of Ajax's waterfront looks rosy, but while councillors and staff patted themselves on the back for their just -unveiled concept plan, the spectre of Hi -Rise Developments and the lands at the foot of Harwood Avenue still exists to put a slight damper on the festivi- ties. The developer wants to put a townhouse complex at the site, despite a requirement from the region's Official Plan to build a marina. Hi -Rise, in short. plans to thumb their noses at the town and take their plan to the Ontario Municipal board. The town, though. is ready for the fight and confident they will deliver the knckkout to the Hi -Rose dream, a victory that is cru- cial to the future of the waterfront plan. Without a pos- itive ruling on the marina requirement, the town's vision for the lakefront will become just another pipe dream. fe,ttees P utter. Z= v, utter. Putter.

But there are still a couple(I'm not sure if they're the same ones all the time) who apparently haven't heard about the ban.

Sometimes, I guess, ignoring the law comes easier to some than others. 1 never thought it would happen but...

I am writing to respond to an article entitled "Youth programs a joke, town strapped for cash" in your May 10 issue of your newspaper. I am very offended by Louis Boehler's com- ments about the pro- grams at the Barbara Black Centre For Youth Resources being a joke. I am a youth who attends the centre fre- quently, and have been a member of their pro- grams. I have attended their Female Mind and Body, this is a program put in place for the females to help with their self-esteem, and their body image. I feel this is a pro. gram that has helped the girls extremely. A woman like Louis Boehler is very out of line to say that the Barbara Black Centre is a joke if she or anyone associated with her has never spent more than a day in these facilities. If she did spend time she would see that this centre is helping and needed. The board, workers, volunteers and patrons can not help every youth, if they don't want to be helped.

We will bring Durham region and other GTA municipalities back into the waste management plan- ning process by making each region responsible for its own waste. The practice of one municipality dumping its waste problems upon its neighbors would be an issue of the past. Ontario Liberals will restore an environmental assessment process that will allow all waste disposal options, including creating energy from waste disposal and transporting waste to will- ing hosts.

We will work with con- cerned stakeholders and community groups to outline clear requirements and stan- dards in a process that is speedier and more fair. We will scrap the Ontario Waste Management Corporation and work with industry to reduce the amount of hazardous waste generated and promote the development of private sector technologies that provide effective alternatives for the treatment of hazardous waste. Ontario spends $86 million a year on the Blue Box Program which is roughly matched by the municipali- ties. Many local governments are finding the cost of the Blue Box Program to be expensive and inefficient The Ontario liberals recognize the need to find secondary markets for the secondary materials from the Blue Box Program. We will work with the recycling industry and local government to ensure these programs are fairly and adequately funded. The NDP has built a grow- ing environmental deficit; our plan will effectively reduce that deficit- For eficitFor more information on our commitment, contact tray campaign headquarters at 6831095.

Call Your Community Newspaper - 839 -&*7 PACT history important I It's time to take By Jim Wiseman, Nev Democratic Party Before elected to office in 1990, I spent consider- able time working as a member of PACT. We kept busy watching over Brock West, knowing the prob- lems residents were having with odors from the dump. We also prevented Metro from putting in another dump called Brock South. In addition, we monitored the affects of Brock North The biggest challenge we faced was the combined forces of Metro Toronto, the Region of Durham and the provincial Ilberal gov- ernment who were attempt ing to inflict P1 without comparing it to other sites or an Environmental Assessment Act Hearing. We knew it couldnt be a NIMBY (not in my back- yard) battle. First, we felt the true answer to the garbage problem was to produce less waste by increased 3R's. Second we said "no more metro dumps". Third, we felt that sites should be chosen based on technical merit, not where politicians felt they would do the least political damage. And finally we felt concerned citizens should be funded to fully participate. In 1990, the NDP gov- ernment oyernment ended the convo- luted onvo•luted process that would allow PI to become a dump in North Pickering. The region of Durham respond- ed esponded by abandoning their obit gation to seek a long term solution for Durham's waste. They stopped the process because it was polit- ically oliesically expedient to do so. Our priority was to reduce the amount of garbage produced. Our 31?s regulations have reduced the amount of garbage to landfills by 25 per cent. Unfortunately there is still a need for landfill. The Waste Management Act was creat- ed reated to deal with both 3R's and landfill. The premise behind the Act was to do many of the things that PACT and I believe in - especially no Metro - garbaRe The Tories and the I-4berals want to scrap the Interim Waste Authority. They want politicians to resume selected dump sites. The Ii'berels dont say they will scrap EE 11. only that tiny will turn it over to the region - without the TWA or a process intended to iociude the onmmtinity.

The elderly "are Tress familiar with basic con- sumer issues and less sus- pecting of the prevalence of deceptive sales prac- tices," says the association. However, the associa- tion says questionable practices are aimed at young and old alike. Seventy-five per cent of all North American con- sumers report at least one buying experience in the last year that included deception, fraud or exploitation. "The most common complaints were: products that didn't work, late deliv eries, false or misleading claims and bills for repairs far exceeding written esti- mates," says the retired persons' association. Not only are the elderly ore susceptible to fraud, they are more often target- ed by illegal telemarketers, one of the more frequent major scam operations.

Before retiring: —Take a warm (not hot) bath. —Drink warm milk. —Have a leg and foot massage. When a cramp occurs: —Pull your foot vigor- ousiv toward vou.

That was the clear mes- sage being sent out at the fifth annual New Home Buyers Seminar. Held at the Holiday Inn in Oshawa, the seminar offered a chance for people to research the Oshawa - Durham Horne Builders' .Association. Each member of the association was on hand with a display of their homes. Kassinger Built Homes, The Kaitlin Group, Melody Homes, Liza Homes, Durham Homes. City Homes and Jeffery Homes were all available to give advice and inform peo- ple about their different models and locations. The association and sponsors spared no expense to help every guest on hand. Each person was given a kit to help them get the most out of the night. Notepads, pens and booklets with warranty information and builder information all led to an excellent way to learn about the possibilities in new homes. Jan Wintonyk. mortgage sales manager for the Bank of Nova Scotia, acted as master of ceremonies for the seminar.

Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond, on hand to sup- port the event, praised the home builders in the asso6 ation. "I know that in Durham region you will find the highest quality home builders," she said. She woke up to a phone call from a morning radio show in Toronto that morn- ing and they were surprised she wasn't up already. Diamond, a self professed "night owl", bragged that she can afford to get up a little later because traffic in Oshawa allows her to get to work on time. Other guest speakers at the seminar included two Toronto columnists, lawyer Alan Silverstein and Sun financial editor Linda Leatherdale. Ian Johnson of the Ontario New Home Warranty Plan and Andy Brethour of the PMA group of companies also gave advice to people consider- ing a new home. The speakers all covered some important areas for the future buyer to consider. Johnson said you should research a builder before buying. He stressed that a builder's after -purchase ser- vice is too important to be overlooked. He offered common sense tips on how to prepare for the big step of buying a home. Johnson also said that you should talk to past buy- ers for opinions on a builder and you should check if that builder is reg- istered. egistered. He also warned against putting down more than $20,000 because there is no compensation over that amount. Other tips included hiring a lawyer to review and explain all docu- ments and inspecting the home personally before buying. Brethour immediately made the guests at the sem - inar comfortable with his easy manner. He couldn't stand to be behind the podi- um od -um and walked into the row of guests while he spoke. Brethour, as a first time buyer himself, emphasized that you cant let fear stop you from taking the plunge. "Take action," he said. "You'll make a great invest- ment nvestment in buying a new home." An intermission after Brethour spoke allowed everyone to tour the builders' display booths and talk to representatives of each builder on hand. However, Leatherdale brought everyone's atten- tion back to the stage when she gave her opinions on the new home market. She offered sensible advice to prospective buyers. Her theory is that supply and demand favors the buyer right now. The best reason she offered for buying a new home is that it is possi- ble to work out a mortgage rate that is as cheap as pay- ing rent. pNDITIONERS & FLRNA�t �RC t/Professio I . nal nstallahon S, ✓ Quality Workmanship ✓ Satisfaction Guaranteed �NIVERSq� Get Uptoa $400 w _ Instant Rebatt or _ Special 'Don't fay C. sir LEN%VOX �'�A s _' Beautiful Hanging Bast+ 0.$11.00 = incl.

Nomplan fumiture arrangements,: A common decorating mistake Rooms that work may look as though they just happen, but as with most things that seem effort- less, the furniture arrangement is usually the result of careful thought and planning. :Here's how to do it. Using the living room as an example, ask your- self how you plan to use the room. Whether or not you do a lot of entertaining, whether your style is casu- al or formal, whether you have children or pets, and the kinds of activities that might take place in the room (desk work or a tele- vision for example) all have a bearing on the way you put the room togeth- er. The characteristics of the room itself will also determine decorating limi- tations or possibilities. The size and placement of windows and the way they affect the light con- trol of the room; the focal point (a view, a TV or a fireplace, for instance), and the type and condition of wall and floor surfaces all play important roles in the way you will arrange the furniture. After analyzing your needs and the physical properties of the room, take accurate measure- ments, including windows, fireplaces and doorways, then transfer this floor plan to graph paper according to scale. Next, measure your furniture and cut paper shapes to scale to move around on your floor plan. Or trace the shapes from templates of basic furni- ture pieces available at art supply stores. Lay out the paper shapes (including any fur- niture items you may be planning to acquire), tak- ing into consideration the size of the furniture piece, where it will be used most effectively and attractively (for conversation or for work) and the traffic pat- tern in the room. Arrange the large or major pieces of furniture, such as the sofa, first. It may go against a wall but it doesn't have to. There is a trend toward moving furniture away from the wall toward the centre of the room. The sofa could then act as a divider, with perhaps a sofa table or a desk behind it. The way you place your furniture should also relate to the need for con- versational areas or clus- ters. Depending on the size of your room, you could have one main clus- ter or two or three conver- sation areas that could be expanded as needed. The furniture in a con- versation cluster could Tool rules to keep in mind for spring fix -up jobs Before the first robin" returns, homeowners are - Oinking about the jobs, that await them after a hard win- ter.

The paper plan will help you visualize the best combinations, including the appropriate occasional pieces such as coffee and end tables. Tip: for best conversation, people should never be seated more than eight or nine feet apart. Once you have your major furniture pieces arranged, and the conver- sation cluster or clusters worked out, you can add the secondary accent pieces to complement the look. Plants, art work and accessories can be used to fill empty corners, add dimension and lend an important finishing touch to the arrangement. Fumiture arrangement is the result of careful thought and planning. To stain or not to stain J have a contempo- rary home that I built seven years ago. The exterior is rough sawx cedar. It was stained with a Cabot wood - preserving transpar- ent stain because 1 wanted an 'instant' weathered look. This is a one-story house with a kip roof and a 3 112 -ft. overhang all the way around. With the foxndation shrub- bery, not =xch weath- er gals to the siding My question: Does it used restaixixg? Painters axd paixt store owners tell me it seeds restaixixg. I dos I thisk it seeds it, but I wast to do What's best for my hon*. Mw answer depends on the extent to which the aiding is exposed to the weather. All species of wood that are exposed to the weather swell and shrink, depending on moisture gain or loss. This, in turn, causes the surface to crack and check. When wood is exposed to the Sun's rays over a period of time, the cel- lular structure is affect- ed ffected to the extent that naturally weathered cedar wears away at a rate of 1/4 to 1/2 in. of surface per 100 years. You can retard natural weathering by coating the cedar with a good - quality stain containing a water-repellent preservative. However, U your siding = indeed protected from the weather as you describe, then coating it should not be neces- sary unless you want to do it for aesthetic res - The main cause of problems with all types of wood siding is con- stant moisture. As long as the wood is kept dry, it can last indefinitely. However, when the moisture content exceeds 20%, the wood will rot. The area of concern with wood sid- ing is the portion near the ground. Although it is not good construc- tion practice, we quite often find siding is either very close to the ground or in direct con- tact oo-tact with it. This usually results in rotting sec- tions. Although cedar has a natural resistance to rot, it is not immune to it. In order to retard the growth of the fungi that cause rot, wood that is exposed to con- stant oo-Stant moisture should be coated with a good paraffin -based water- repellent presamWm.

Home es Renovatteons Air conditioners cool and dehumidify An air conditioner is a heat exchanger which oper- ates like a refrigerator or a heat pump. The portion of the appliance that sits inside the house contains an evapo- rator coil in which a gas cir- culates at a very low temper- ature. The cold gas absorbs heat from the air. A com- pressor then raises the term perature of the gas and cir- culates it in a condenser coil, outside the house, where it expels the heat A thermo- stat starts and stops the compressor depending on the desired temperature. Two fans accelerate heat exchanges. The first draws in household air over the evaporator coil. then blows it back into the room The sec- ond circulates outside air around the condenser coil to more rapidly dissipate the heat accumulated by the gas before it returns to the inte- rior coil. As it cools the air, the air conditioner also dehumidi- fies, which is essential for comfort. The moisture in the hot air condenses on contact with the evaporator coil. The condensation sim- ply drips into the bottom of the unit, then is drained off at the back of the unit In this respect, an air con- ditioner acts much like a dehumidifier. Even if it is very hot, an appliance that simply removes some of the moisture from the air makes the temperature much easi- er to bear. Combined with adequate window coverings, this could be a worthwhile alternative to an air condi- AIR FLOW AND NUM- BER OF SPEEDS The main advantage of a fan with a strong air Sow is that it circulates the air more rapidly, thus speeding up the cooling process. Most air conditioners have three - speed fans, although a num- ber of low-cost models have only two. The third speed makes it possible to more accurately adjust the air flow. The intermediate speed often presents the best compromise between cooling speed and quiet operation. AIR EXCHANGERS Some air conditioners have an air exchanger, con- sisting of small flaps at the back of the unit which force out household air and draw in outside air, a useful fea- ture if the window in which the unit is installed cannot be opened. It is probably easier and more effective to simply open a window or door to create a draft. ENERGY SAVER FEATUREUnder normal operating conditions, the fan runs constantly when the air conditioner is on, circulating the air and keeping room temperature uniform. The compressor stops when the desired temperature has been reached. On units with an energy saver button, the fan stops when the compres- sor does, thus saving a few cents on operating costs and reducing noise. The room temperature, however, may be less comfortable because the cooling effect will be uneven. EASE OF INSTALLA- TION Air conditioners are usu- ally easy to install. Simply place the unit on the window sill, and make sure it is level It is usually easier if two peo- What to look for in a quality bed When deciding what you want in a new mat- tress/foundation pur- chase, there are four quali- ty criteria you'll need to consider. SUPPORT Your sleep set should gently support your body at all points, with a mini- mum of lateral bending of the spine. When lying on your back, your reclining posture should be similar to good upright posture. Roll over on your side and consider your shoulders and hips. They should be well -supported, but not uncomfortable. A mattress that's too soft you may cause lower back pain. But a too hard surface can cre- ate painful pressure. COMFORT Only you know what feels best to you. Like Goldilocks, be particular. Try different beds until you find the one that doesn't feel too hard or too cushy. Keep in mind that there are more choices than ever before in the way a bed feels. You can choose from a variety of innerspring constructions, polyurethane or latex foam, flotation designs, even air-filled mattresses. Do some serious bed -shop- ping before making the final decision. Find the one that offers you the best balance of support and comfort. SPACE The best bed in the world won't give you a comfortable night's sleep if it's too small. A healthy sleeper will move 40-60 times during the night, so it's important not to be cramped. If you share your bed, keep in mind that each person in a double (full size) actually has only as much space as a baby in a crib. A queen size is six inches wider, a king offers a full 22 extra inches; and both are five inches longer. If nightly collisions or spars over who's steal- ing the covers are prob- lems, a larger bed can solve them. DURABELM What you don't see in a mattress and foundation the inner construction — determines how long your sleep set will provide optimum support and com- fort. Ask the salesperson for a complete description of the materials and work- manship on every bed you try. The best guarantee of good performance over a good many years is to invest in the highest quali- ty sleep set you can aford. For the best comfort, support and durability, make sure that you pur- chase a companion foun- dation for your new mat- tress. It won't feel the same as it did in the store, or last as long as it should, If you put it on an old boxspring- ple handle the appliance, as it weighs about 30 kg and may be awkward to manipu- late alone. Some manufac- turers provide support brackets, a useful feature. Once the air conditioner is installed, the empty space on the sides or above it must be filled. Some air condition- ers come equipped with expandable side curtains. In other cases, translucent pan- els can be installed. Take a close look at the curtains and ascertain how effective and sturdy they are. If the air conditioner is to be installed on the ground floor, it's worth getting a translu- cent panel or curtain that can be locked. Make note of the length of the power cord; if it is too short, you will need a heavy- duty extension cord, to avoid overheating house- hold electrical wiring. An ordinary extension cord is a fire hazard and could cause damage to the compressor. NOISE Noise is an important consideration when the air conditioner is installed in a bedroom or living room. Having a cool room is pleas ant, but a noisy air condition- er can be annoying. Manufacturers are aware of the problem and have endeavored in many ways to make air conditioners quiet. However, some models are noisier than others. Note that recent models made with a rotating compressor tend to be quieter. The air conditioner's noise level is not often indi- cated in the technical specify cations. Ask the vendor to run the models you are interested in. Sump pump Care Don't Wait For The Heatwave Order ANJUL. Air Conditioner Todav! Car you tell me how to care for say sump pump? Every winter I kave to call a repairmax after the first raise to get it started. What is the staxdard procedure to keep these things in good rxxxixg conditions? Normally, a sump pump does not require any maintenance. CArts" not yearly main- tenance. In all probability, the pump's intake port is sucking in dirt from the sump pit, and this is clog- ging the pump. The pit should have a liner, which prevents the earthen waft of the pit from eroding and depositing silt and tiny pebbles at the base. The pump should also be positioned so that the intake port is not at the base of the pit. Some sump pump manufactur- ers also mace screens or filter boxes that can be installed in front of the pump's intake. Check with the manufacturer of your pump to see if such optional equipment is available. You can also make one yourself using a window screen. However, you should periodically check the screen to make sure it is not cloned. .� ....�...•••.•.+F�'�-,� ,, . .�.(.�4-x�,. ,fi,w....,�- _' .�..-•..e.:.,, :w:.�.c<,w: ssc..'� t•.sw.z,•-.: w...'a,.F['eriK?`f;9►s`Mrr "4? .:... ..

Other expenses arise when you buy a pool Do you want an U shaped pool or an adjoin- ing whirlpool bath? Do you want stepped sides around the circumference for you children's safety? If you shop around, you'll discover that pool compa- nies specialize in certain types of pools and they don't all offer the same options. These factors may influence your choic- es. Other expenses inevitably arise when you buy a pool. Here are some examples: Patio: A patio is esthet- ically pleasing. It also pre- vents water from seeping between the solid mass and the sides of the pool. If you want a wider - than -average patio or one made of a different con- struction material, be sure to include the extra cost in your estimates. Shed for storing pool equipment: If your garage or basement is too far from the pool, you may want to install a shed to store the pump, filtering equipment and cleaning accessories. When you pool contractor is ready to pour the concrete for your pool, ask him to pour a footing or base for the shed. You can always bund the rest of the struc- ture later. Fencing: Most munici- palities have strict by- laws that specify the type and height of fencing required around pools. Find out what they are. Insurance: Advise your insurance agent that you plan to install a pool on your property. You will need to insure against water damage and for personal liability in case of an accident. Ask if the insurance requires spe- cial fencing and if so what area needs to be fenced. Accessories: Solar blanket, diving board, water heater, automatic chlorinator, underwater lights, an insulation pad under the vinyl liner. all these accessories entail extra costs. If you plan to add some later, be sure to have the contractor pro- vide the fittings that will be required. Tables and chairs for the patio are another popular extra.

Still shy of his fourth birthday, Cameron had chronic tonsillitis (due to his asthma, which complicates any surgery) and we agreed the operation was best for him. But being confident you've made the right decision didn't make the time spent in the hospital any easier and Christian - Ann and I (especially Christian; I'm the eternal optimist) and Cam's father spent it in a constant state of worry. The worst part came just after the operation when we were told some blood had trickled into Cam's throat during surgery, mys- tery black spots had appeared on the x- ray and he may have suffered a partially collapsed lung. While we were assured it was nothing to worry about, it wasn't exactly welcome news. Next up was a morning and afternoon of worry while his mother and I watched Cameron in recovery, breathing a collec- tive sigh of relief when his oxygen level shot past the danger zone and inwardly cheering when we saw Cam returning to his cranky and oh -so -loveable self. That was my cue to head home to our other two children (who were just fantas- tic in their support for their brother) and for Christian to take all-night worry duty nes from Cam at the hospital. We received plenty of support; from my mother, who came out to help at the house; from David, who left a sick child of his own briefly to drive to Oshawa to offer encouragement to his daughter and grandson; and especially, from the medical staff at the hospital. The nurses in particular were wonderfully kind, attentive and supportive to Cameron and Christian -Ann. The focus of all this attention was Cam, and through it all, he was a real trooper. Tough as nails, he was subject- ed to probing and prodding by a parade of nurses, poked with needles in both arms (including an IV drip) and suffered the expected post-operative throat pain. All with hardly a murmur of protest_ I was so scared for him, and so proud of him at the same time. I also know, while I'm sitting at work writing this, where I'd rather be. However hard it is sometimes being a parent, I know what the toughest job in the world is: being three years old and in the hospital. Cameron showed me what courage is all about. a , ►lA +r✓� 4 Ail -at: �... � �! fie. �► . ,.�. � .

It was both a physical activity and a social event. Scottish country danc- ing is one dance form that has been popular since it began hundreds of vears ago with the regiments and clans in Scotland. Most of :he music and dances have been handed down from generation to generation ,ill over Scotland and the �Jpper part of England. 'Awry, Queen of Scots, who was brought up in France and returned to Scotland in 1561, contributed a great deal to this dance form including some French ter- minology Today, Scottish country dancing is enjoyed in every part of the world and Durham is no exception. Members of the St. Andrew's Pickering Scottish Country Dance Group meet on Wednesday evenings for some social and recreational dancing. From 8 p.m. until 10:15 p.m., the gymnasium at Roland Michener Public School in Ajax is alive with music, motion and a lot of laughter. The evening starts off with tea and socializing in the staff room. The actual dancing starts at 8:30 p.m. under the patient direction of instructor Grace Harris. Her daughter Colinne Ash, who teaches a children's class in Whitby, also assists with the adults. The adult class is con- sidered social as opposed to a technique class. Although there is instruL- tion, it isn't as intense as other classes that focus heavily on dance skills. More accomplished dancers willingly lend a hand to help the beginners. They walk through the steps a number of times, laughing at the state of general confusion. But when the music plays, HIGHLAND FLINGERS - Members of the St. Andrews Pickering Scottish Country Dancing group posed for a picture at a competition at Toronto's SkyDome stadium. miraculously, everything seems to come together into an elegant blend of intricate steps and pat - The group is always looking for new members and any interested would- be dancers are invited to come and watch a session. The season finishes at the end of April but come September 27 the music will start up once more. A nominal fee of $3 is charged per evening and you pay only for the evenings you come. The ages run from 18 years old up to seniors. For more information contact: Grace Harris at (416) 431-9653 or Colinne Ash (905) 4041884.

To up the anti in the high performance car game. Volvo has recently introduced the RSO T -5R Based on Volvo's already popular 850 Turbo sedan/wagon, this super car boasts an impressive 240 hp. up 18 from the reg- ular 850 Turbo. Along with the boost in power, Volvo has made refinements to both trac- tion and suspension to take full advantage of all the power. Standard on the '1'-5R will be traction con- trol to harness the extra Power. Next is an Anti-lock braking system to handle the increased load on the braking system. wheels and tires have also been enlarged. Pirelli P -Zero 20-5/45 ZR 17 inch tires will be on all four corners. These tires will be mount- ed ounted on specially designed T X 17" five spoke alloy wheels. Adding to the Watch for the next Bay News Automotive Section May 31 wheels agressive look, the wheels will be coloured in a titanium finish. To help hold the driver and passenger will be Volvo's own great seats with synthetic suede -like inserts. a special leather covered steering wheel will also be standard. Other creature comforts will include sunroof air condi- tioning and trip computer. The exterior will feature a restyled front spoiler and rear back spoiler on the sedan. The T-51? will be offered in black and a spe- cial yellow limited to this model only. These T51Z wagons and sedans will be limited. So if you want something totally different get down to your Volvo dealer sooner than later as I know these cars won't last long. PICKERING SPRING SERVICE I.M.

Well, the Lada Niva just might be the vehicle for you. In the past few years I have spent a lot of time in N ivas and have been very impressed with the vehicle. This is a solid 4X4 that is never given enough credit At just under $10,000, it is the cheapest real 4X4 on the market In fact, Lada has sold every Niva it has imported into the country over the past few years. 'Ibis year the Niva gets a bigger engine, redesigned interior and a new larger rear hatch. This all adds up to im. vements that really enhance the drivability of this vehicle. 'Me engine for 1995 is a 1.7 -litre fuel -injected four cylinder 'Ilms gives the Niva 79 hp. which significantly :improves performance on and off road. This power is basically gained by aiding a General Motors throttle body fuel injection system to the engine. Inside the Niva, one will find an all-new interior. a new dash leads the way with easy to read instru- mentation, new glovebox and side window defrosters. Better designed seats are the next major improvement followed by improvements in armrests and consoles. The enlarged hatch is a big improvement over the old lift -over design. Heavy items just slide in instead of being jerked over the upper part of the hatch. Overall I am quite imp mssed with the knp+om- ments made to the Niva. This is not to say there is not room for more improve- ment. Quality in some arras is a little lacking, but when you factor in what you are getting for the price you really can't complain that much. This is one tough lit- tle vehicle I would put up against any 4X4 for durabili- ty urabil}ty and reliability over the long haul Available at Carmen & Franks Garage Scarborough FRE/GHTL/NER Authorized dealer for the following Cat, Cummins, Detroit Diesel Repairs to all makes & models 420-6500 1-800-263-4400 Parts & Service Open 7 Days a Week, 24 Hours a Day Sales Open Mon. - Fri. 8:00 - 8:00 Saturday 8:00 - 5:00 -'YOU CCME FOR THE PRICE AND STAY FOR THE SERVICE - YOU COME FOR THE C m () OWA CO L;g t A t L 2 r L L u u r Z Has The Right J ANI1 Vehicle For You 1995 , 4� r,.r r p..i and �.....a = ` b -Swap_ f... �r....r� m 40- G i ' be.I — •n.. asano..C. m i 1 ( c ..+..ec ti:Y-0 s •3 "M w.. i r0000 • .a.K bon ...., Expires Mav 31. 1996 11 n Q v 1995 EUROW P.-jllrnw!CAMPER 161 `i,�ra.ii/rr.rl�..�i.r.� �::,i-�.dwalba �d : Call Your Community Newspaper - 839-8087 Come In Today - Do Not Delay!
