A TOWN CALLED
L.
Celebrates book launch
It's taken five years of
researching and organizing
the efforts of dozens of
volunteers, but the Ajax
Historical Board can
celebrate at last. On
Thursday, Sept. 7, the Board
Twill launch its new history
book. A Town Called Ajax.
Over 100 guests are
expected to attend this very
special event, including
federal MP Dan McTeague
and MPP Janet Ecker. The
first copy will be given to
the town itself in a
presentation to current
mayor Jim Witty.
"I think the book is going
to be very exciting for the
people of Ajax because it
provides a good look at .
many events which have
never been touched on
before," , says Biian Htilker,
chairman of the Ajax
H19orical Board. "We go
right back to the beginnitM
— long before Ajax was
ever here — and we look at
how dre town was built, and
who and what made it what
it is today. We even touch
on places like Audley and
Pickering Village, places
that have kmSht a lot of
history to the Town of
Ajax."
In its foreword, the
book's editorial board
comments on the evolution
of Ajax, noting its unique
beginnings — as a 20th
Century town — noting
that: "the authors relied
extensively on personal
recollections of individuals
who were at the centre of
key events. In that sense,
our book resembles an oral
history. We are confident
that major developments are
represented accurately. If
the assemblage of pieces by
23 authors conveys the
flavor of what Ajax was and
what Ajax is, and how it
evolved from there to here,
then we are gratified."
The book, which has
.received some financial
support from several local
service clubs and groups,
has been selling well at a
special advanced gift
certificate price. Copies
will be available for sale at
the book launch and at this
year's Family Festival.
Copies may also be
obtained at The Word Is Out
'95, the upcoming Durham
Writers' Festival at
Pickering Museum Village
on Sept. 17, where Marjorie
Ludlow Green will read
from her chapter: The DIL.
Years.

A bridge to the future
by Ken Smith
The War of 1812 stimulated development of
Duffin's Creek. Extensive use of Kingston Road
for movement of militia increased trade for
innkeepers particularly, but all local businesses
enjoyed the spillover effect of increased traffic.
The road benefited too, as the soldiers using it
kept the sides clear of brush, and corduroyed or
filled the mud holes.
Kingston Road was the only land route
linking communities between London in the
west and Kingston in the east. For Pickering,
commerce with both Toronto and Kingston
increased with each passing decade, as did
passenger traffic. The frequency of stagecoach
service increased from twice -weekly to daily
and inns along the route enjoyed steady trade.
With the arrival of the Grand Trunk Railway
in 1856, stagecoach service was rendered
obsolete. For trips of more than a few miles the
train was more comfortable and more reliable
than horse-drawn coaches, which were at the
mercy of weather-related road conditions.
However, the distance of the Pickering
Railway station from the heart of Pickering
Village increased the demand for local
transportation. William Peak and others
provided livery service, carrying mail and
passengers between the village and the train
Towards the end of the Nineteenth Century
interest in maintaining and upgrading Kingston
Road was revived by development of the
automobile industry. Ownership of an
automobile was a luxury but, for the many
wealthy families in Toronto, Pickering Village
was within easy reach by car. Completion of an
iron bridge across Duffin's Creek on Kingston
Road prompted an amusing acknowledgement
in the Pickering News of January 2, 1891, from
which the following is excerpted:
If you mm a person with a haughty au and
dignified head anywhere within this township

for
for the next few weeks, you can safely say that
person is from Pickering village. The proud
demeanour is occasioned by the presence of a
handsome structure spanning our noble Duffin's
Creek. The iron bridge is completed and rigs
may be seen at all hours of night and day testing
the holding power of its spacious stretch. When
the muddy weather comes we are thinking about
covering the planks with sawdust to save its fair
face from becoming soiled with muddy shoes of
pedestrians and horses. This is a structure of
which our township may well be proud.
The bridge which prompted that article
withstood the increasing burden of Kingston
Road traffic across Duffin's Creek for almost
thirty years. In 1920, as part of a grading and
widening project by the Department of
Highways, it was replaced by a concrete bridge.
During the years 1910 to 1912 hopes were
high that an electric railway, The Toronto
Eastern, would pass right through the village.
Track had been laid from Port Hope to
Pickering Village and right-of-way had been
negotiated as far west as Dunbarton. But
construction of the line went no further west
than Church Street. The difficulty, of negotiating
entry into Toronto was cited as the reason for
halting the project. In the early months of World
War I the rails were lifted and shipped to
France, and the line was abandoned during the
1920s.
The railway, which had diverted traffic from
Kingston Road during the latter part of the
Ninetheatth Century, was now losing ground to
road transportation. To facilitate travel in and
out of Pickering, Kingston Road was paved in
1921 and two bus companies, Collacut Coach
Lines of Pickering and Del -Ray Coach Lines of
Oshawa, started bus service to and from
Toronto.

It's taken nine years, but Corky de Graauw will finally
see his dream come true at noon on Sept. 23 when the
Spring Creek Golf and Country Club is officially opened.
A pig will be roasted, visiting dignitaries — Arthurs,
Herrema and McTeague — will officiate, and admittance
will be free. Donations will be accepted to go toward
furniture for Claremont's new community centre.
Actually open to the public from the 9th, Spring Creek's
green fees will be a modest $10.
There were times in the past nine years when de
Graauw could feel his dream slipping away, as his plans
became mired in rezoning and political wrangling.
Neighbors trying to "save" farmland didn't share his
vision — even though all the farmers had gone.
"1 wanted to retire here," he says, while admitting that
he's still far from that age. "It's probably going to take
me that long to get it all together."
A magnificent sight, spread over 50 acres of gently
roiling hills, its nine holes sharing space with eight
ponds, this course should challenge any golfer. At Par
31, it is considered an executive level course. Designed
by the owner himself, with assistance in the final hole
layout from professional Jack Lally, the course
landscaping is unique. Head groundskeeper Art Puckrin
has also played a significant role in the project, as has de
Graauw's 21 -year-old son Chris.
Born in Holland but raised from age three in a house
by the Scarborough Golf and Country Club, de Graauw
admits he always loved the links. "I noticed everyone
around the course had a positive attitude — and I guess
that rubbed off on me." Various jobs included a three-
year stint with the Kitchener Parks Department_ For ten
years from 1971 to 1981, he played hockey in Europe as
part of the Dutch National Team. He has lived in
Pickering for 20 years.
In 1976, unable to find suitable daycare for his two-
year-old son, de Graauw opened the Valley Farm
Daycare Centre. "At the time, I wanted something for
my retirement," he says. He owned the daycare for 12
years. When he learned of a shortage in affordable
housing, he "started building houses on Valley Farm
Road." Since 1990, health problems may have slowed
him down, but nothing has stopped Corky from pursuing
his dream. He credits Sydney Beare with making that
dream reality.
Now in his •80s, the well-known Pickering
businessman who sold de Graauw his farm property was
"kind enough to provide me with financing to finish this
project," says Corky. "It is because of his foresight that
this course is actually here today."
By spring, a clubhouse built of reclaimed stone from
an 1823 fieldstone farmhouse will sit just inside the
entrance (on Conc. 9, one mile east of Brock Rd. at
photo by
Roger Beckett
Westney). Eight homes, all spoken for, are s heduled w
be built beside the course — one will be Corky's, another
will be Syd's. As he waits again for approval, this time
with most of his neighbors on side, de Graauw remains
optimistic that his future home will not also become
mired in red tape.
"I've always liked this area in north Pickering," he
sighs. "I would really like to retire here."
Octagenerian Sydney Beare finds himself in trouble on
the 5th hole at Spring Creek Golf & Country Club.
Directing him to his ball is caddy Corky de Graauw.

Courthouse re- -m -----a ln s
in jeopardy
by Brenda Birinyi
Ongoing provincial budget cuts and
province -wide slashing of government
construction funding might include the
proposed Oshawa courthouse, a project
which carries an estimated building cost
of $50- to $100 -million.
M.P.P. Dave Johnson, chair of the
management board of cabinet — an arm
of government which approves all
ministry budgets — advised The Bay
News in a recent interview that all
projects are now under review as the
government deals with expenditure and
capital reductions
"We are trying to cone to grips with a
huge deficit," he said, "and those projects
filling the greatest need will be
approved."
Johnson would not comment on
whether or not he deemed the proposed
courthouse a priority. "Guaranteeing the
project is impossible," he said, because
project priority can change due to daily
government expenditure cuts.
Although Johnson did say there was, "no
evidence at this time that funding will be
withdrawn," he also cautioned that the
project, being "one of 1,000" and still in
its preliminary phase, will require, as
with all government projects, re-
evaluation on an ongoing basis as it
enters each new phase. Johnson went on
to add that the F.C. Party is not
"targeting" any specific project, but is
just targeting the deficit.
As of last April, the province of
Ontario was reported to be $90 -billion in
debt. Johnson, who remains adamant that
we not "pass this mortgage on to our
kids," also noted, "It is a tragedy (tax)
money could not be used towards health
care, education and social services.
Instead, tax dollars are needed to pay the
deficit from previous years." He cited
that, since taking office, the government
has reduced the fiscal deficit by $1.9 -
billion, dropping from $10.6- to $8.7 -
billion, but he warned that further action
is still required.
"It was essential that the fiscal deficit
be reduced over the summer because
Ontario's credit rating was in jeopardy,"
Johnson said, noting that a reduced credit
rating has, "extensive negative financial
ramifications. Financial institutions
become leery of lending money to a
province when there is a change in
financial status. Action had to be taken,"
he stressed, "and such action was."

What happens when a
newspaper goes down?
Over the past few years, Canadians
everywhere have watched in desperation
as countless companies — many of them
household names — have struggled and
disappeared forever. The differences in
definition seem obscure: "Recession" sure
feels like "Depression" when you're in
one.
With so many businesses folding around
us, it's not always easy to recognize the
importance of some deaths over others,
but we believe that nothing quite equals
the loss of "voice" — the freedom of
thought and opinion that only a
community nevwspaper can provide.
%% hen you think about it, our
newspapers — whether we agree with
their differing editorial policies or not —
are probably the only lasting platforms for
public voice. Where else can we air our
differences, make known our protests,
proclaim our public and private victories
and defeats, and leave them all (for better
or worse) recorded as a permanent part of
our history'
While school students may lack
appreciation for the subject, our
civilization would be lost without its
historical grounding. By relying on
newspaper accounts of the past, today's
writers manage to keep us on track. And
we need that perspective.
Whenever a newspaper dies, an
incredible number of jobs can be affected.
Few people realize how many workers it
takes just to create and deliver one
community newspaper: for the Bay News
it %as 22, plus 450 individual carriers. In
dollar value, the loss amounted to an
estimated 51.8 -million put out annually
into the community, in distribution and
Mages alone.
Freedom of speech and the ability to
seek out alternatives are rights which we,
as Canadians, should never take for
(granted. Our writers -- those voices often
speak for those who can't — should never
the silenced. For every Canadian voice
Ilost, an `outsider's" stands ready to fill
,that void, to blur our identity that one bit
amore.
We believe that people in the
.communities we serve deserve to hear
:amore than one side of any story. Local
business must have choice in where to
�iadvertise; readers need a platform from
4whkb to "sound off" now and then. If we
are to function, as a nation or as a
community, our communications network
imust remain functional — alive and well
-,und competitive. '.
The loss of any Canadian publication
especially a community newspaper —
should never be taken lightly. The Bay
News, in its own way, is a very real part of
heritage, our future, dur idebtiq.

'Child support report has 'severe and ultimately debilitating flaws'
To the editor.
Canadians are rightfully upset about the
recent Report and Recommendations on
Chid Support. The committee was to find
ways to come up with a formula which
would be equitable to children, give
custodial parents adequate monies to raise
children and to provide non -custodian
parents adequate monies to raise children
and to provide non-custodial parents with
an opportunity to participate financially in
,the raising of their children. Instead, the
committee produced a report that has
severe and ultimately debilitating flaws
and biases. These are summarized as
follows:
The report:
— does not address the problem of
adequacy of child support either
financially, emotionally, psychologically
or physically;
— does not address the default of
payment problem;
— does not address the issue of best
parent as custodial parents;
— does not address the need of the
children to access to both parents;
— does not consider the non-custodial
parent's ability to pay;
— provides a huge financial incentive,
for parents claiming custody of children, to
dissolve families;
— provides that children are placed in
the position of financial leverage to assure
an increase in standard of living for the
custodial parent;
— provides punitive -aggressive
payment amounts that are prohibitively
high and wM force payors into default;
— provides formulas and schedules that
show wildly excessive estimates of child
cost (middle and lower -middle income
losses are exaggerated by 200 per cent to
600 per cent).
The report has been written with a
punitive -aggressive stance against children
and non-custodial parents. This "get even„
stance has resulted in recommendations
which are destructive to intact Canadian
families and to broken Canadian families.
This is not only a non-custodial parent's
issue, nor is it only a men's issue. It is a
severe problem being created by out -of -
touch politicians and lobby groups. Write
or fax your MP and MPP. Write to and
bring it to the attention of those running
for office. Make yourself heard or live
with the coasoquenoes.

When you visit the Ajax Community Centre for this year's
Family Festival, you may just wonder at the big pink rock
outside the building's main entrance.
Placed there on Oct. 21 of last year, by the University of
Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering to
celebrate its 50th anniversary, the rock symbolizes an
important phase in our short history — a time when Ajax was
a school campus.
In June 1945, U of T president Canon H.J. Cody produced a
glowing annual report for his board of governors. Throughout
the difficult war years, the university had excelled. Cody did,
however, have one major concern: with air force personnel
beginning to return home, over 200 veterans had registered for
the following term.
"This trickle of attendance from the ranks of the active
services will soon grow into a mighty stream," he predicted.
And he was absolutely correct.

Still remembering the severe unemployment returning vets
had faced following World War 1, it became a priority with the
government that this time there should be "opportunity with
security" for each vet returning home. The government's offer
was generous with tuition and allowances being paid for those
who qualified, as long as the student maintained high grades.
The offer did not go ignored.
Enrollment at the U of T was staggering, jumping from
7,265 in 1944-45 and steadily rising to an astonishing 17,723
by the 1947-48 term
Handling the growth seemed impossible for the U of T.
How do you accommodate thousands of returning veterans
and still make room for young students coming out of high
school?
Fortunately, Canon Cody's alarm triggered an immediate
response. Under pressure from the university, the Department
of Veteran Affairs began an early demobilization of U of T
staff and veterans enrolled in graduate programs were allowed
to take part-time teaching positions. But accommodation for
thousands of students still remained a problem.
Nowhere was this strain felt mon severely than in the
Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. With so many
male applicants applying to be schooled as engineers,
immediate action was required.
Fortunately, the search for off -campus accommodations led
to the discovery of the buildings and facilities of the now -
defunct Defense Industries Limited (Da.) plant in Ajax. With
1 I1 buildings on 428 acres, a 36 -bed hospital, dormitories
which could sleep 3,000, cafeteria room for 1,000, and a
recreation centre consisting of bowling alleys, an auditorium
and :: lounge, could any place be more perfect? It was four
times larger than the downtown campus.
It took Mackenzie King himself to remove the red tape and
roadblocks, but the U of T got the campus it needed; the
Faculty of Engineering got the place its irreverent students
would refer to as their "Skule;" and the country would benefit
from the graduation of over 3,000 engineers — many of
whom remain as Ajax residents to this day.

Lights ... no camera... action!
by Susan bl. Willis
The fall season is approaching, and with it the
theatre season is unfolding in Pickering and Ajax.
As sure as leaves are preparing to change, the air to
turn crisp and the days to grow shorter, local thespians
are preparing to take the stage. Once again the
offerings are plentiful and distinct from troupe to
troupe'
Providing the best in comedy and quality dining for
mote than twenty years is the Herougatc Barn Theatre,
at 2885 Altona Road in Picketing.
Herougate's 1994 season opened well with Dirty
Work at the Crossroads and continued with the fine
British comedies for which this theatre is renowned.
The coming season promises to build on the successes
of the last with the premiere this Friday, Sept. 8 of
Lend Me A Tenor.
Direct from a successful run on Broadway, `Tenor"
will prove pleasing for those who habitually char the
underdog. Our hero Max dreams big of singing like
Pavarotti. To his surprise, and that of opera fans in
Cleveland — and even his beloved — he has the
opportunity io perform in the Great One's place. Yes,
tam and understudy trade places for one evening. The
results are hilarious and, unexpectedly, romantic.
io d lone A Temor rung from Sept. 8 through Oct 28.
Call (905) 472-3085 to reserve for dinner and the
performance.
Another veteran troupe, the Pickering West Hill
Musical Theatre, is back to take the stage at the Village
Retirement Centre Auditorium. 1955 Valley Farm
Road North in Pickering.
Music director David Mills, a veteran in his own
right has orchestrated ten cabarets and six book shows
for PWHMT and has served other choral groups,
including the Scarborough Choral Society, for over 30
years. Choreographer Christine Zahn has
choreographed six cabarets and three book shows for
this troupe. Her career began in England as a soloist.
Since coming to Canada, she has, like Mills, served
many local choral groups.
After 17 years of singing and dancing — including
18 musical cabarets and 12 mnsicals — there is no sign
that the PWHMT is slowing down.
This season opens next Friday and Saturday with the
premiere of Cabaret '95. PWHMT promises to "shake
your blues away" with its selections from the heyday of
radio to the present. A buffet will follow the show.
Cabaret '95 will run on Fridays and Saturdays from
Sept. 15 through 30, with a special matinee and broach
on Sunday, Sept. 24. For reservations call (905) 683-
2359. All proceeds go to support local charities.
The months to come hold a lot of promise for
theatregoers in Ajax and Pickering as the members of
Theatre Durham, Pickering Players and the newest
troupe on the sane, Theatre Antares, strut and fret
their way towards their respective premieres. Stay
owed.

e from page 7
Terry decided to run for a council seat in Ward 1 in the east
end of Pickering because she wanted to get people more
involved in their community. She lost 10 pounds and wore out
two pairs of shoes in her unsuccessfid bid, but met a lot of gwA
people. But, she says, people don't know what's going on in
their own neighborhood, and that's partly because of the town's
600 foot notification policy.
"You can find out if something is going on next door or two
houses down, but people a block away wouldn't know." As a
result, she says, they start complaining after they find out
something is going on in the neighborhood, and that's not the
way it should be.
"We can take out full page ads in the local paper to let them
know bus schedules and about garbage pickup on holidays, but
there is no vehicle to let them know what important items are
coming up on the council agenda. so they can have some input.
That's one of the major things I wanted to change."
As well, she says that in new subdivisions being built in the
town the rules can change ovemight. "You may have bought
your home thinking that you are going to be next door to
whatever and you find out you're not. If you bought your home
expecting there was going to be something across from it then
that's what you should have, and you'd better have it or Pickering
gets a terrible reputation as a result."
Some of the other problems facing Pickering, she says, are the
fact it's growing too fast: what she describes as "a bedroom
community mindset" by some of the people who run it. "We
can't have little industry and a mainly residential tax base and
expect to have all the facilities, like more rec centres and an
expanded bus service. Someone has to pay the freight."
She says that there was an opportunity during the
infrastructure study to service some industrial land, but the issue
was blown all out of proportion because the opponents weren't
going to subsidize industrial developers. In this case, she says,
the developer who owned the industrial land being considered,
offered to pay the town back in five years with interest, but she
says dw offer was ignored.
"Ibis was turned into 'we're not subsidizing developers, we're
not getting into bed with developers' and we put in services for
more residences. That means more schools needed, more
libraries needed, more police needed and we pay."
Consegeendy. she says. Pickering doesn't have a Home Depot or
a Business Depot like Ajax and Whitby, nor does it have a foot
tnone of industrial land after paying for the study.
"You can't say we are going to bdng jobs and then tum it into
r-devmbper--type squabble. Instead we het a bingo hall with no
padung." At the stage Pickering is at now in its development,
she says, the opportunity has been lost to change it to anything
but a bedroom community.
Nuspl makes the pout[ that, at one time, Pickering could have
been made a desirable place for industry to locate by preserving
some of the older buildings and proper zoning, much like
Markham has done.
Councillors shouldn't have voted themselves a 10 per cent
increase recently, she says, and there should have been more of a
public outcry. It worries her that there was no editorial in the
local paper and no mention of when town staff last got a raise.
She adds that if she were on council she would give the money
to charity.
When not involved in local issues, Terry spends time reading
"a lot" (including many newspapers), following council closely,
and looking after her one -acre property.
Terry says if she runs for council again it will be under
