Budget time this Thursday
The Town of Pickering's operational budget is now
available to the public, a document that promises – for
the time being – no tax hike.
Council will have a look at the preliminary budget
this Thursday, although the final decision is not expect-
ed until late March or early April.
One controversial staff recommendation is the axing
of 11 firefighters from the Pickering force.

Race relations committee forms in Ajax
by John Cooper
A new committee designed to
discuss the roles of the different
cultural communities in Ajax
will build on the town's multi-
cultural diversity in a positive
way, says ward four councillor
and committee chair Pat Brown.
Brown said the committee,
which met for the first time on
January 23, "will gain a greater
understanding of the different
groups within the community.
It's our intention to invite mem-
bers from the different cultural
groups with somebody who is a
resident of Ajax to sit on the
committee."
Among those in attendance
at its first meeting were Ajax
planning director Peter
Tollefsen, parks and recreation
director Tom Flood and Tanya
Gulliver and Roland Rutland of
the Social Development
Council of Ajax & Pickering.
The committee will draw on
existing resources from the
Social Development Council,
the Durham Regional Police
and the boards of education,
said Brown who, along with
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish (also
a committee member) recently
attended the council's Taking a
Stand conference, held at Ajax
High School on January 20.
The committee will comprise
citizens, town staff and politi-
cians — but not too many politi-
cians, Brown cautions. "We
definitely warn youth participa-
tion. I think it's important that a
political member be part of it,
but only one."
The committee will send out
letters to various community
groups asking for nominations
— the committee will have a
maximum membership of 12 —
and a meeting schedule will be
established "Once we have vol-
unteers in place we'll meet
again and set the agenda."
Brown said she wants to take
an "upbeat approach" to race
relations in the town. "I think
it's a fantastic first step and
everyone's quite eager. We all
seem to be coming from the
same thought process. I'm
looking forward to getting it

It's time this act was changed!
(information supplied by
CREA)
One thing few homeowners
realize is that, contrary to
popular belief, most residential
mortgages in Canada cannot
be repaid before the end of the
term. In most cases, because
no legislation applies, lenders
are free to refuse early
payment.
When lenders do allow early
payment, the penalties they
charge usually ensure that the
homeowner will pay more than
if the original mortgage had
h:en left to run its course,
-''whatever the interest rate.
These penalties are seldom
spelled out in the mortgage
documents.
The penalty is usually either
a 3 -month interest penalty or
an Interest Rate Differential
(IRD) penalty, whichever is
more. The IRD is calculated
differently by individual
lenders.
The Interest Act, last
amended in 1917, therefore
leaves borrowers who are
trying to deal with a mortgage
before its maturity, pretty
much at the mercy of the
lender. The Act provides that
ordinary residential mortgages
can be fully prepaid after five
years on payment of a
maximum penalty of three
months interest, but only for
mortgages written for more
than five years.
But, since virtually all
mortgages have terms of five
years or less, this legislation
seldom applies. In addition,
most mortgage renewals
include a clause to re -set the
date of the start of the
mortgage to the renewal date,
thus ensuring that, once again,
the Five year rule can not be
applied.
Mortgages insured by the
Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corporation (CMHC) under
the National Housing Act
(NHA) can be fully prepaid
after three years on payment of
a maximum penalty of three
months' interest. These
mortgages are "open" after
three years. Conversely, they
have a "closed" period, not
covered by the Acts, during
which the mortgage cannot be
prepaid.
Two previous Liberal
governments have tried
unsuccessfully to amend The
Interest Act — in 1976 and
again in 1984. Both attempts
failed.
Realtors in the Canadian
Real Estate Association
(CREA), reporting on a wide
variety of current practices
within the mortgage industry,
have found none which seem
to benefit the consumer when
renegotiating a mortgage. The
Chretien government, while
not in any rush to act on it, has
said it shares some of CR A's
concerns and is reviewing the
Interest Act with a view to
introducing amendments
during the current Parliament.
CREA feels strongly that a
much-needed amendment now
would send an important signal
that could strengthen consumer
confidence. CREA research
indicates that the amendment
should include the right to
prepay a mortgage; the use of
the Net Present Value to
calculate IRD; the retention of
the three -months' interest
penalties in the National
Housing Act; and that lenders
be required to disclose
standardized terms and
conditions in plain language.
Realtors hope to convince
the Canadian government that
an amendment of the ancient
Interest Act is well overdue.
Unfortunately, only if it is
recognized as a priority will
this issue be dealt with during
the current Parliament.

wonder what goes on
beyond the front doors
of Pickering Hydro at
its office on Bayly or at
Ajax Hydro at its new
building on Taunton Road.
One thing that's certain:
these are two of the best
buildings in the area and
even Pickering's read-
ograph sign is more costly
than most private business-
es can afford these days.
Each utility boasts of
holding the line as far as
rate increases are con-
cerned. But the fact
remains that. despite our
proximity to Pickering
Nuclear Station, our hydro
rates for the commercial
sector continue to be higher
than several other neigh-
bours.
Ajax and Pickering oper-
ate both utilities with
almost total duplication in
their functions and expens-
es. Consider each has its
own hydro commissioners,
its own collection and
billing department, its own
equipment and of course its
own management team.
The cost of operating each
of these separate utilities is
passed on to each of us in
our hydro bill. The utilities
purchase the power from
Ontario Hydro and then add
their mark-up to this cost
and send us our bill.
Why will no one exam-
ine this apparent duplica-
tion and determine if sav-
ings could be achieved?
Unfortunately, the local
hydro commissions are
made up mostly of politi-
cians (who get paid for this
duty) or friends of politi-
cians given a purely patio-
age appointment. There
must be someone inwressed
in finding the proverbial
better way. '
It wasn't all that -long ago
we were serviced directly
.by Ontario Hydro without
the existence of the local
utility. My lights still work!
Zonly thing I notice is
Yhigher hydro bill.

The Cleaning Krew -
cleaning up graffiti
During the past year the
Durham Regional Police
Service has seen a dramat-
ic increase of graffiti on
bridges and other struc-
tures within the Region of
Durham. Much of this
graffiti is racist in nature
and promotes hatred.
The publicity anTound-
ing these incidents has
prompted a number of
young artists to form a
group who call themselves
The Cleaning Krew.
The aim of this group is
to clean up graffiti and
hate messages. Members
of this group are fully sup-
ported by the Durham
Regional Police Service,
Go Transit, and CN Police
and have succeeded in

The second phase of the
program is to obtain legal
wall space for the young
artists to paint on. As a
result of their work, they
have been invited to paint
murals on the recreation
hall walls at the Barbara
Black Centre in Ajax. This
is a drop-in centre for
street youth and a youth
counselling service.
Most of the young artists
are in their middle teens
and don't have the
finances with which to
purchase paint. To assist
them in their endeavours,
companies such as

Have you listened lately?
And so another question presents itself. I" how much
of our money are dxm bonds of educadoe spending on
school vandalism? And how come it's such a deep. dark

The answer Probably much, much more than they we
willing to admit to, and because they don't know how to
deal with a problem which is, by all accounts, escalating
darty.
Educators an supposed to know how to deal with cb&
dren. After on, isn't that what they get paid to do? But in a
system where teachers are often prevented from ffisapi- I
ing wrong -doers and in a society wbere poents are often
too quick to defend their darlings, just where does the

Dear Sim:
It is hard to believe that it has been one year since I chal-
lenged Canadians to phone, write, fax, e-mail, courier, or tele-
graph, their UP and tell them "Do Not Even Think of Raising
My Taxes - In Fact, Lower Them!- A full year has passed since
three thousand angry taxpayers gathered on an icy night at the
Metro East Trade Center to send their "No am taxes" message
to the governing tax -and -spend Liberals. Canadians, for the last
year, have constantly reminded their MPs that they are over-
taxed and that they desperately need tax relief. Despite these
facts, the Liberals seem determined to raise gasoline taxes yet
again- "Just 13 carts per litre" they tell us. "You won't even
notice it! You'll soon forget. Trust me, you always do!"
Well. we don't and we won't! My second annual "No more
taxes" challenge is out! You must send a strong message to your
MF and to the Finance Minister, if you do not wart to pay high-
er taxes. The wolves we at the door again and if you don't

Local swimmers strike gold at LOSSA meet
High school athletes test-
ed the waters recently at the
Lake Ontario Secondary
School Association swim-
ming championships at the
Pickering Recreation
Complex.
On the line, a spot to the
Ontario Federation of
Schools Athletic Association
championships March 6-7 in
Etobicoke. Not necessarily
having to place at LOSSA,
swimmers were hoping to
qualify by meeting time
requirements and hopefully
end the day on the podium
with a medal wrapped
around their necks.
One particular swimmer
who had a great day in the
pool was Pine Ridge's gold-
en girl Kirsten Mills.
Mills struck gold four
times and broke her own
LOSSA record in the 50
metre freestyle event which
she set last year. Mills cap-
tured gold in the 50m.
100m- and 200m freestyle
events and the women's
senior medley relay.
She wanted to win every-
thing, and she did.
"I wanted to win all four
events because I've never
done that before," said Mills.
"I wanted to break the 50m
record and the 100m too, but
I didn't do that. But I won all
four thanks to my relay team
and I broke the 50m record."
Mills' record for the 50m
now stands at 29.08. Her
previous record was 29.22.
In her last year of high
school, Mills hopes to swim
at McMaster University and
wants to attend with a
OFSAA gold medal dan-
gling from her neck. Last
year at the pro--incial cham-
pionships she just missed the
medal podium when she fin-
ished fourth in the 50m and
100m freestyle.
`I was disappointed last
year," admitted Mills. "So,
yeah, I'll be disappointed if I
don't win a medal.-

"Kirsten will for sure
make finals," said Taylor.
"The 50m will be tough.
She's worked hard and it's
her best year. So we hope
she'll do it."
Another local swimmer
looking to make amends
from last year's OFSAA is
Pickering's Matt Radley.
Radley set the LOSSA
record in the 200m freestyle
one week prior to the cham-
pionships at a preliminary
meet. The Trojan swimmer
had success at last year's
LOSSA meet and thought he
was invincible heading into
the provincials. But he was
quickly brought down to
earth and learned a valuable
lesson.
"lite same thing happened
here last year in the 200m. -
recalls Radley. "I got big-
headed and got my butt
kicked (at OFSAA). I'll be
lucky to be in the top 16
there."
Mike Lockett, also of
Pickering, captured three

"I want to get a medal but
it just depends on who's
there," said Lockett. "The

mers Chris Hall and Wade

sive day in the pool.
"I wanted to win the 50m

tightly contested field.

What Hall didn't plan on
was breaking the LOSSA
mens senior's 50m freestyle
record. The Ajax student
broke the record one week
prior to the LOSSA dwnpi-
onships at the qualifier, then
broke it again at the
Pickering Rec. Complex
with a time of 25.83. Hall's
record was 26.14.
"I wasn't aware there was
a record until today," said
kw "I was happy with it."
Prescott is also looking to
be somew bee an the medal
podium at OFSAA
"Hopefully I'll get into
die finals and into the top
three," said Prescott.
Convenor Taylor was
pleased with what she saw
from the region and feels the
LOSSA area is headed in the
right direction.
"The teams now are more
refined." said Taylor. "We've
taken a lot off our times and
we've always looked at it
(swimming) as a growing
sport. Now we're starting to
show our ability.
"We'll be sending 11 of
15 schools to OFSAA which
is incredible."
Pine Ridge finished sec-
ond overall in the standings
with Pickering following
closely behind in third.
O'Neill Collegiate claimed
the overall title. Pine Ridge
swimmers broke three
LOSSA records at the meet,
as did Ajax.
In total, 12 records were
shattered.
Hall broke two records
while teammate Prescott
braise one. Mulls and Lockett
broke the other records. Pine
Midge's senior women's
200m medley relay team and
the women's junior 200m
relay team also set new
LOSSA records.

Spartans and Blue Devils
clash in LOSSA hockey final
Two upsets and one more to go for the Dunbarton
Spartans' senior boys hockey team.
After knocking off the number four seed (D O.C) in the
quarter -finals of Lake Ontario Secondary School
Association playoffs, the Spartans then upset the top team
in league play (Paul Dwyer) in two straight games during
semi-final action. Now they are looking to recapture the
title they won three years ago by knocking off another
favorite.
Only Donevan Collegiate stands in the way between
them and a berth in the Ontario Federation of Schools
Athletic Association championships.
"vi aii the teams we've played, they have the best
defense," said Dunbanon coach Bill Dalliday of Donevan's
blueline corps.
Both teams clashed in the LOSSA semi-finals last year
with Donevan taking the series.
"Tbe kids remember the series last year and rm sure
that's wearing on their minds." said Dalliday. "But we're
just going to have to go out there and play our game. The
guys came from fifth place to get where they are. They
know they're the underdogs. But well be ready."
Both teams reached the final by playing stingy defense
during the late stages of the season and both coaches feel it
will definitely be a low -scoring championship.
"It will be a low -scoring series," said Dalliday. "I would
say three goals would win a game."
,Donovan coach Ben Hoefs agrees with bis opponent.
"ILere's no secrets," said Hoefs- "Defense will win."
Both teams felt as though any one of the top sir teams in
the league could have won. And now it's an underdog who
will rule as LOSSA champs. ..
Our desire at the start of the year was to win it all." said
Hoefs. "Phis is for the big one."
Both teams played game one yesterday (before press
tithe) with game two slated for 1:30 p.m. in the Olympic
Arena at the Ajax Community Centre.
If necessary, game three will be played at the same time
and place on March 6

Festival Players, the newest orchestra i'n town . 1. 1 1, - I01141M111
by Larry Codd
A new symphony
orchestra is up and run-
ning in the Durham
Region. The Festival
Players started with an
impressive flourish when
it was selected, out of
seven orchestras, to pay
tribute to long-time
patron of the arts, Mary
Coyne Rowell Jackman,
at the Metropolitan
United Church in
Toronto.
December marked the
orchestra's debut in Ajax
with the production of
"A Christmas Pageant"
at the Pickering Village
United Church, which
also featured The Young
Singers of Ajax.
January 27 saw the
first of a series of free
afternoon concerts at the
Ajax Public Library. The
inaugural event celebrat-
ed the 240th anniversary
of Mozart's birthday with
performances on flute,
oboe, violin, trumpet,
trombone, and piano.
Festival Players got its
start in March of last year
when a group of musi-
cians and friends, led by
Music Director Stephen
Riches and arts manage-
ment specialist Ron
Gordon, proposed a
unique association of
musicians to perform
various combinations of
chamber music and
chamber orchestral reper-
toire.
"We strive to present
concerts of exceptional
quality," says Stephen,
"along with maintaining
a commitment to com-
munity players."
Area residents may
remember Mr. Riches
from his role as a found-
ing director of the
Pickering Philharmonic.
He has more than 30 pro-
ductions to his credit in
the field of musical the-
atre and received his
early training at the
University of Toronto. In
1977 he was the winner
of the prestigious Dr.
Heinz Unger Conducting
Competition. An accom-
plished pianist, he regu-
larly performs for chari-
table causes.
The orchestra's second
major performance, held
in Ajax — "Tribute to
Amadeus" — featured
Moshe Kim, top prize-
winner of the 1995
Pickering Rotary Music
Festival; flautist Ron
Korb of Ajax; tenor Eric
MacKeracher of
Pickering; and the Oriana
Singers of Cobourg.

duce a high quality of

says Stephen. "We were
delighted with the
Amadeus concert and
feel our strengths are the
diversity of programs and
the variety of guest
artists and local talent."
The group has a strong
core of seasoned per-
formers but is still look-
ing for fresh talent, espe-
cially string players.
Those interested in audi-
tioning may call Stephen
at(905)471-6926.
Musically trained in
piano, violin, and classi-
cal guitar, Ron Gordon
performs as well as man-
ages the group.
"We are in need of ser-
vice volunteers," says
Ron, "to help behind the
scenes and to sit on the
board of directors. Our
premise is to have a base
in Durham Region but
not to be limited to per-
formances in Durham."
Future concerts are
planned at the north
York Performing Arts
Centre and with the
Oakville Symphony.
On March 23, the
Festival Players will pre-
sent "Something to
Trumpet About" at the
Pickering Village United
Church and will feature
Geoffrey Tiller on trum-
pet, Stephen Riches on
piano, and the Jubilate
Singers. The program
will include selections
from Bach, Copeland,
Hummel, Rossini, Saint-
Saens, Vaughan-
WilIiams, and Anderson.

Story by John Cooper
Photo by Jim Lynch
Imagine a society where
you are denied service in a
restaurant. A place where
you cannot buy and operate
a business. A community
where neighbors eye you
with suspicion, drawing up
petitions to force you out ...
a place where you can't
even find a decent apart-
ment.
The deep south, 50 or 60
years ago? Guess again.
Such was the fabric of life
for minorities in Ontario in
the 1950s.
Bromley Armstrong
remembers the era well.
The Pickering resident and
civil rights activist has long
been a leader in Ontario's
human rights community
and a winner of numerous
awards, including the Order
of Canada and Order of
Ontario. At age 70, he is

Now looking to throw the
torch of human rights to
younger people, to carry on
a struggle which he says
must continue, Armstrong
fears however that the door
of opportunity, opening
after such an arduous strug-
gle, is ready to slam shut
again.
Born in Jamaica,
Armstrong came to Canada
in 1947 and the following
year got a job with farm
implement manufacturer
Massey Harris in Toronto.
He joined the United Auto
Workers (UAW). It was a
time of post-war growth,
low unemployment and
prosperity- for most.
"Employment was Pretty
high but what people don't
realize is that they reserved
a lot of those jobs for white
Europeans. They had pi ef-
esence."
Armstrong attended
welding school ("my fore-
man said I was crazy, that I
would never get a job
because I was black') then
went to his union when he
was unable to get a welding
job within Massey Harris.
"The president of the
local came up to me in his
three-piece suit and asked
me 'Brother, who is the
union? You are the union. I
am the union. But you're
never at any of the meet-
ings." From then on,
Armstrong became active,

This was against a back-
drop of a Toronto that was
becoming cosmopolitan, as
immigrants from Europe
and elsewhere poured in to
take jobs in booming indus-
tries. But it still wasn't a
case of fairness for all.
In the early 1950s.
Armstrong joined with rep-
resentatives from the
Toronto and District Labour
Committee and the
Unitarian Church to docu-
ment cases of discrimina-
tion. Prior to 1951, it was
legal to deny equal service
,and employment based on
w race - there were even
covenants preventing the
;sale of some businesses to
,Jews and Blacks.
Armstrong and others,
black, Asian and white,
would do checks on apart-
ment rentals, restaurants.
bars, hotels and barber
,shops to see if service levels
were the same. In most
places, minorities were
denied service. He and a
colleague would go to
apartments which adver-
died vacancies, only to be
turned away. "People would
slam the door in my fax,"
he says. An hour later a
white couple would be
;received with open arms.
:Every case was document-
ed. The documentation,
submitted to the
Legislature, resulted in

sweeping changes.
Anti -minority sentiment
was everywhere. "In the
'50s, people didn't want it

udiced, today, there's pride
in it."

he became one of the first
agents to sell accident and
sickness insurance; he set
sales records and became a
trusted agent to many. The
spotlight was on him - as
the sole black insurance
agent in the city - and he
responded with excellence.
Going out on his own in
1969, he continued to talk
about civil rights, speaking
to groups. The front win-

ISO 9000: The way of the future
by Jacquie McInnes
The Simcoe Engineering Group Limited is a 60 -
person engineering and architectural firm that sits in a
plush, modern office building on Ironstone Manor in
Pickering. With a prospectus that offers an impressive
list of diverse projects, from the design of the soon -to -
be -built Ajax/ Pickering water supply plant
to a dual coin-operated car wash for Petro
Canada, the company isn't in any danger of
languishing.
But, staying competitive means always
looking ahead, which is why last April
Simcoe began on a journey toward a
standard of quality recognized worldwide
— the ISO 9000.
ISO 9000 is "an international standard of
excellence," a recognized series of quality
standards which has been adopted by 74
countries including Canada, the United
States, the European Union countries, and
China. It also replaces various national
standards, such as Canada's CBA, as the
recognized symbol of quality control.
Glenn Wallis, Simcoe Engineering's ISO
9000 technical coordinator, says
development of the standard in their
particular field of expertise has not become
crucial, yet. However, he says, it will mean
an opportunity to compete for jobs
worldwide that would not have been there
otherwise.
While Sirncoe Engineering could
probably wait some time before initiating the ISO 9000
standard, the same cannot be said for many Durham
Region businesses.
Dr. Richard Hadden, executive director of the Bureau
of Excellence in Durham Region — the organization
spearheading the ISO 9000 certification prograrn in lh
region — emphasizes the importance of certification for
all automotive part suppliers.
"The big three automakers will all have the same
standards by 1997. They'll say, 'If you don't have this,
you don't do business with us."' He adds, "When General
-1 r, brings this down, suppliers in Durham Region
are going to fall off the edge. We need to
help them."
In Canada, there are approximately
1,2_'00 companies currently certified with
the ISO standard. In order to stay
competitive in the global economy, Dr.
:sadden says Canada must increase that
number to 7,000 by 1998. By that time,
'0.000 companies in the EEC will be ISO
:ertified. If we aren't to be left behind,
Canadian companies must begin to work
toward certification now. In Durham
Region 40 companies are currently
working toward the standard. Dr. Hadden
says this is the highest number of any
community in Canada.
Wliat ISO certification means for most
companies is putting systems in place to
ensure consistent quality in their products
or services. As Mr. Wallis relates, "It's
kind of like when you go into
McDonald's: you know what the
hamburger is going to taste like." It means
that every project manager is following
the s.une procedures: that ever, widget

,Montessori combines freedom with structure
CA Concerned about the cancellation of junior Kindergarten?
g Worried your child isn't receiving the right kind of academic
Z preparation and stimulus to succeed in life? Want to invest wisely
in your child's future? Montessori may be your solution.
Nicola Phihps, a Montessori principal in Pickering for over 13
years, owns both the 401 Kingston Road and Dunbarton Road
Montessori Learning Centres. According to
Phillips, "Parents are concerned that either
Montessori will be too strict, almost robotic, or
the opposite, that their children will tit wild, that
Montessori is a jungle." She encourages parents
to come out and take a closer look. "Montessori
is the perfect amalgamation of both - it provides
great freedom within a strict structure."
t� The Niontessori philosophy focusses on the
whole child, not only on academic development
but on social, cultural and emotional growth as
well. It allows children to progress according to
their own needs, not to the dictates of a
curriculum. The result? A much richer education
and faster academic progression. In fact, most
Montessori students are reading and writing by
age six or seven.
Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician in
the early part of this century, masterminded the k
approach during her many years of working withr
children. She discovered that children effortlessly
absorb information until about age six, an ability
that is never again evident in the human
development cycle. To take greatest advantage of
these vital development years. Dr. bfontessori
invented a learning method and a series of scientific tools, much
like toys. But unlike toys, each tool focusses the child's mind on
some particular quality. Children are able to see, touch and
experience learning as opposed to simply memorizing
information.
Montessori classes are small - typically 12 to 15 pupils to one
teacher - and combine children from ages two through seven. In
this way children can progress freely at their own speed, as they
are ready. Students benefit from greater individual and one-to-
one attention. They also become comfortable with others at all
age groups and aren't held back by educational stereotypes based
on age.
While all Montessori schools operate under
the same philosophy, the mix of staff gives each
its own personality. Philips' schools enjoyed very
low staff turnover and even more complimentary,
many of the schools' former pupils are now
coming back to help with the centres' day care.
The schools also have a rich cultural diversity
which they celebrate to the fullest: at religious
and cultural times of the year, families are
invited to come in and share the holidays and
beliefs with the other students. Each year they
hold a "mini -caravan" with cultural displays and
food sampling.
Montessori accepts children aged 18 months
to 12 years, for both half and full-day programs.
Day care is available before and after the regular
school hours. Surprisingly, Montessori costs
about the same as day care: $550 monthly for a
full-day student, or $340 monthly for the half-
day program -
Both the Kingston Road (near Rougemont)
and Dunbarton Road Montessori Learning
Centres hold open houses. To find out how
Montessori can benefit your child, call 509-1722

Binns designers still the best
by Marjorie Green
Once again, Binns
Designer Kitchens has
cone away with top
awards in the kitchen
and bath design industry
and, for the third year in
a row. Binns designers
have proven that they
are simply the best in
their field.
In this years National
Kitchen and Bath
Association's Canadian
Design Competition,
Tony Binns took first
place in Bathroom
Design- Raymond Binns
placed third in Kitchen
Design and Rory
McLean took third in
Bathroom Design. Not
surprisingly, all three are
Certified Kitchen
Designers (CKDs)
"There are many peo-
ple selling kitchens out
there," says Raymond
Binns," but what makes
the difference is the
designer you have work-
ing with you. There are
only 22 CKDs in
Ontario," he adds, "and
we have four of them
here at Binns."
Because the kitchen is,
without doubt, the most
technically complex
room in any house, it
isn't easy to qualify as a
CKD. '"To achieve CKD
you must first have
seven years experience
in design, supervision
and installation of
kitchens," he says. "You
have to learn a high
degree of drafting skills
and design knowledge,
know about itemizing
contracts, electrical
wiring, construction,
plumbing, ducting,
mechanical, and even
how a furnace works.
"lighting, traffic flow.
lifestyle. even whether
the cook is left or rigbt-
handed — these are all
important considera-
tions." . -
In 1994, the company
won a total of 10
awards, taking five of
the top seven; last year,
it again won five of the
top seven in the compe-
tition which uses a fic-
tional family (with a
detailed list of requests
and requirements) by
which to judge the
designs.
Judges from across the
country award points to
each design based on the
number of items on the
list that were included in
the designs as well as
looking at which designs
function well — and still
manage to look great.
"Here at Binns we are
proud of our designers
— they are an integral
part of our products,"
says Raymond. "Good
products and a good
design produce satisfied
clients." A stroll
through the 22 kitchens
and bathrooms on dis-
play at the company's
Kingston Road show-
room clearly demon-
strates the attention to
quality that Binns cus-
tomers know they can
expect.
"We are always
changing our displays,"
he notes. "We keep our
.designs up to date, to
reflect today's colours
and designs. We show
nothing but the newest
products; it's important
for us to be up-to-the-
minute. When the cus-
tomer will be using our
design for the next 20 or
30 years, we dont want
to start our with a five
year-old plan. In this
industry, there are
always ideas that are
new — and hot!„
Binns has come a long
way since Joe and Vera
Binns opened their small
kitchen company in
Scarborough in 1963.
Dedication to excellence
has kept the company at
the top of the industry
ever since. "The con-
cepts that gave us the
awards are the same
concepts we use every
day," says Raymond,
"and we hope everyone
will come and see our
winning designs at this
year's National Home
Show in Toronto."

Mayor Wayne Arthurs —
Excerpts taken from the
Mayor's 1996 presentation to
the Ajaxlftkering
Board of Trade
As anticipated 1995 residen-
tial construction figures showed
a marked decline over 1994.
New residential units total 450.
However residential develop-
ment for the three preceding
years exceeded the G.T.A. aver-
age, including more than 1,000
units in 1994.
Commercial and industrial
development activity rose to fif-
teen and a half million dollars
compared to just seven million
last year.
The leasing of existing space
by new and expanding compa-
nies rose for a fourth year, to
over a million square feet.
Pickering is now experiencing a
shortage in several categories of
office and industrial space.
Entrepreneurial business
developments contimte to play a
significant part in creating
employment opportunities. The
estimated number of new busi-
nesses to commence operation in
1995 was 86, creating 315 full-
time and 557 part-time positions
and we are still counting.
The commercial sector
showed the highest growth while
Or manufacturing and retail sec-
tors continue their positive
climb.
Over 3.000 requests for statis-
tics and information about
Pickering's economy were pro-
cessed through the economic
.development office in 1995 and
all indicators point to continued,
sarong, well diversified growth in
most economic sectors.
There were many noteworthy
business initiatives during 1995:
We are delighted to have the
Ajax/Pickering Board of Trade
relocate to their new home at the
Furniture Mall site here in

The first thing a visitor will
observe about Fernanda
Cunha, owner of
Manufacturer's Drapes dt
Blinds Ltd. is that she enjoys
immensely what she does. In
business at the Pickering
Town Centre since November
1989, Fernanda started part-
time at the age of sixteen and
has grown up in the industry.
She has taken courses in inte-
rior decorating and regularly
attends seminars to keep up-
to-date with current trends.
Fernanda carries ready-
made items in the store but
people usually want custom-
made items. Since the aver-
age amount of time that a per-
son will have a set of drapes
is 10 to 15 years, it is impor-
tant that you have something
that you like — drapes that
look right and fit well. "A lot
of people think that custom is
an arm and a leg, but it's
not", she says. "You get bet-
ter quality and a custom fit.
People also think that because
something is ready-made it
will be cheaper. But in many
cases, it is not. People are
really surprised when we give
them a price for custom-
made..
With free Shop -At -Home
service available, the cus-
tomer does not even have to
go to the store. Fernanda will
come to your home with her
samples and discuss with you
your needs, as well as offer
helpful suggestions. She will
start from scratch or work
with e=n colours and fab-
rics. Whether you are the type
of individual who knows
exactly what you want to do
or you have no idea when to
start, Fernanda can help you
through aA the steps. She
makes suggestions, but the
final decision is always yours.
Do you need, drapes,
blinds, bedding, a custom-
made headboard, matching
lampshades, wallpaper and
matching borders, fabrics, or
perhaps even shower cur-
tains? All these itetns can be
custom- made and co-ordinat-
ed to your specifications. "We
ford that people will do it in
,gradual steps", she says
"They'll start out with the
bedding first or the drapes,
and then every three months
or so add a piece to it until
they've completed the room".
Fernanda works out the total
yardage required, orders the
whole roll of material and
everything is made up as
needed. Thus you are
ensured that all your items
will have the sate dye lot
and you do not have to woay
that the print may not be
available at a lata daft.
Although installation is
offered at an additional
charge, all hardware is
included; if you wish to do
the installation yourself,
Fernanda will provide
instructions.

Backfrom the ashes and alive
The Bay News originated in 1960 as a community news sheet aimed
at keeping residents informed in the newly -constructed subdivision of
Bay Ridges, in the Frenchman's Bay area south of the 401.
It was just one of many efforts by Alex Robertson, a local insurance
broker. who felt it was important to create a sense of community. He
also helped develop local sports, ratepayer groups, Boy Scouts, Girl
Guides, and other community organizations. He would later be awarded
the Canada Centennial medal in 1967; represent Pickering for many
years as a Durham regional councillor; and be recognized by the Town
of Pickering in the naming of Alex Robertson Community Park in 1992.
What started out as a foolscap sheet, run off from a stencil and deliv-
ered free to homes by local women an chikiren, developed into a full-
blown newspaper as information increased. Before long, advertising
was solicited to cover the cost of the paper and pay for delivery.
Robertson gave up the insurance business to become a full-time news-
paper publisher.
By 1966, the trews sheet was a 220 -line tabloid, composed by Bay
News staff and printed in Uxbridge; the operation moved out of
Robertson's house and into an office on Toy Avenue. Needing more
staff, the paper hired Yvonne Lewis as advertising representative;
East Shore Marina is getting ready
"We are now in year four
of our five-year dock
upgrading program," says
Harold Hough of East
Shore Marina. "We have
just completed our
rebuilding of a dock to
accommodate boats up to
28 feet long."
The marina, at the foot
of Liverpool Road in
Pickering, is now one of
the largest in Ontario, with
enough berths to
accommodate 600 boats up
to 60 feet long. The fact
that East shore is
constantly being
modernized, makes it
Durham's most progressive
marina as well.
East Shore has all the
usual marina services on
site, including hull and
motor repair, as well as
such extras a full-time
yacht broker and a sail
repair depot. It also has a
hauling service that can
take boats up to 30 tonnes.
"we built it from
scratch," says Hough,
president of the Pickering
Harbor company (the
parent firm of East Shore
Marina) and a co-owner.
A major boon for the
marina has been the
phenomenal growth of the
salmon fishing industry on
Lake Ontario in the past 15
years. "With the demise of
the Toronto Star Great
Salmon Hunt, some of our
customers have organized
Their own fishing derbys
for local fisherman," says
Hough.
What was once the best -
kept fishing secret in the
province has now become a
booming business. "We
have some of the best
salmon fishing in Lake
Ontario right here in
Frenchman's Bay. We have
become one of the largest
marinas in Ontario."
East Shore Marina is
open all year round 'live -
aboard' services to
approximately 65 boaters
who enjoy 'bubbling' (the
water around the boats is
aerated so ice doesn't
form). Other services
include metered hydro,
fresh water, telephone and
cable TV, a Laundromat and
snack bar. "Our lounge for
'live -aboard' customers,
which was put in place last
year, has proven itself to be
a great success," says

With seven acres of
parking, a private park on
the premises, barbecues
and, occasionally, live
bands to entertain
customers in good weather,
East Shore is a lively place.
"We have been a leading
participant in the
Frenchman's Bay Festival
since its inception," notes
Hough.
Following a winter spent
overhauling equipment,
during which it provided
accommodation for some
300 boats, East Shore
Marina is preparing for
mid-May and the "busy
time". Hough and his staff
look forward to the time
"when things really get
hopping".

Yvonne remains today as the one original member still with the compa-
ny. In 1970, the paper took over circulation of the former Pickering
News, which had operated out of Pickering Village, and Chere Bunting
joined as advertising representative, for what would be a long associa-
tion with The Bay News. Bunting's territory was Ajax, a new area for
the paper. Circulation grew to include Whitby.
Jointed by his brother George, Alex Robertson continued the paper
until 1988 when the Robertson family sold The Bay News to Chere
Bunting and her husband John McCom*k. After 27 years in the fast -
paced industry, both Alex and George were ready to retire.
With a circulation of 17,000 in Ajax and Pickering, the McCormicks
continued to publish in the tradition of a community newspaper, con-
centrating on local issues; by October 1994, when it was sold to
Shoreline Newspaper, the paper had expanded to a circulation of
35,000. The Bay News folded eight months later.
On September 6, 1995, with assistance from John McCormick,
Pickering businessmen David Demerino and Kip Van Kempen brought
The Bay News back to life. "I have always felt that it's nice to be part of
an accomplishment," said Demerino, "to take something and change it.
I always liked The Bay News, it was the only paper that really did any
reporting locally and focused on the community - but I always felt that
it needed something that maybe I could somehow provide.
"Vise must tune in to what our communities want, and that give it to
them. If we are to have pride of ownership, we must provide service
and satisfaction to our readers - it's all we have to give."
It hasn't been easy, starting The Original Bay News, literally "from
scratch", but with dedicated effort from a team, manly of whom are for-
mer employees of the old Bay News, the paper manages to come to life
each week. With a circulation of 43,000 - and grooving - we are proud
to continue what Alex Robertson started 36 years ago.
