A P.. the Big Smoke. Local council, following similar announcements from neighboring Ajax and Whitby, came out publically Monday night against many of the rec- ommendations from the "Golden Report" on GTA reform and gave the public a chance to air their concerns as well. Town manager Tim Sheffield called Dr. Anne Golden's proposal to create a "super government" a "falla- cy" that will hike up local taxes and leave Pickering resi- dents with "little, if any" repre- sentation. Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment chairman David Steele, a member of a citizens' advisory committee on the GTA, echoed Sheffield's comments, saying it wasn't fair that Pickering share a vote with other municipali- ties, another of Golden's pro- posals. "We speak with one voice," Steele said. Fred Beer, a committee member who spoke Monday as a private citizen, made a dire - prediction at the meeting that implementation of the Golden Report would "destroy Pickering as we know it,- and tum Toronto politicians "from free spenders into freeloaders." ..Every speaker, in fact, rejected all or part of the task force report. Golden's GTA task force, mandated to improve ineffi- ciencies in the GTA and stop the bleeding of Toronto's com- mercial tax base, made 51 rec- ommendations for change. While suburban municipalities like Pickering have found some common ground with the report - the town agreed, at least in part, with 29 of the rec- ommendations - several of the proposals have been found to be unpalatable by virtually every politician outside of downtown Toronto. Especially unappetizing were Golden's recommenda- tions that regional council be dumped in favor of a Greater Toronto Council; that several municipalities be merged for voting purposes (Pickering, Ajax and Uxbridge would combine for only one vote); and that more than 5320 -mil- lion of Toronto's annual prop- erty tax burden be hoisted onto the shoulders of its suburban neighbors. Losing local decision -mak - "If these folks have to go to a Greater Toronto Council somewhere over there," he said, waving in the direction of Toronto, "they're not going to get the representation they need." But the ultimate decision on the fate of the report lies in the hands of the provincial govern- ment. Durham West MPP Janet Ecker, who was in atten- dance Monday, said legislative changes to the municipal struc. ture, if any, should be in place by the end of the year. Ecker said there is a "wide diversity of opinion" on caucus and hinted that a bill could be introduced "for discussion" during the spring sitting of the provincial legislature. Pickering residents will get another chance to discuss the task force report at a public meeting Pickering Council will host. No date has been set yet but Ecker promised to invite provincial GTA caucus mem- bers to the forum. Pickering ing was notably galling to Sheffield, who claimed a r Greater Toronto Council would ultimately muzzle local concerns. K Six bucks could save 30 cops For just six dollars a year, Durham taxpayers may be able to keep 30 local police officers on the streets and off the unernpioymatt line. Regional Chairman Jim Witty said he is hopeful tax- payers will accept a one per cent mill rate increase this year, a hike that could save the jobs of some or all of 30 police officers :laced for lay- offs. 'floe region is facing the tax increase because of an $8- ra lion cut in conditional grants by Queen's Park. Witty said Durham will look at s-sasblltg some of the ttev- estoe lois ftcuo a ndmias in savior Merck sod asa fees "bat if waste came: to Mast, we'll be looking at a tax The police services board has already been allocated a SI -million hit (representing 30 officers: 28 were hired just last year after considerable debate) and Witty said the layoffs would "dramatically" affect the level of policing. Raising taxes one per cote � (a $6 increase on a $3,000 annual tax bill) Mould make up that sl -million shortfall.

It's a drain on the tax base of Ajax's downtown core. A blight. A mess. But the Verona Mali con- troversy may be solved within the next four to five months, according to town officials and the site's receiver, Peat Marwick Thorne. The 19.5 acre site on Bayly Street west of Harwood Avenue has stood idle for the past six years since its developer, Mater's Development Ltd., went into receivership in early 1990. The site was slated for a prestigious, multi -use mall. Today, its expanse of concrete foundations .and steel reinforce- ment rods stand as mute testa- ment to the crazed, runaway Teal estate boom of the 1980s. Ajax business development officer Dino Lombardi said the town has been working with Peat Marwick to find suitable investors. But the search was hampered by the fact that Mater's owned several proper- ties throughout southern Ontario and there was a desire to sell all of them together. "The receiver is at a point where they really have to do something with it," said Lombardi. "They haven't had any serious offers until late last year. They've been dealing with two polar groups — one that would like to sell the property and get out now. Another wants to hold on to it." Peat Marwick senior vice- president Blair Davidson said his company is in the process of "accepting a proposal from a group called Shields Snow Edison Realty. It's a proposal whereby they'll take the Mater's properties and place them in a public company." Shares in the public company will be offered in lieu of the mortgage debt. Peat Marwick must wait for court approval, however, and for acceptance of the deal by the investors, said Davidson. Davidson agreed with Lombardi that the poor real estate market presented a haz- ard. "The problem was the investors instructed us not to sell in the 'down' market. (But) now we have some potential and we've been working with this party for almost a year.' Ajax has missed out on hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue from the site over the past six years. Maureen Wiles -Frost, a tax collector with the town, said the land is cur- rently assessed as vacant prop- erty at the residential mill rate. The property has accumulated unpaid tax at the rate of 1.25 per cent per year which the new owners will have to pay when ownership changes. By way of example, store units in a shopping plaza like the neighbouring Baywood Mall each pay several thousand dol- lars a year in taxes. The Swiss Chalet restaurant pays an aver- age of $6,000 in taxes a year. The Loeb grocery store pays more than $40,000 yearly. And the IDA drug store pays 54300 in taxes. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish expressed guarded optimism over the possibility of investors for the site. "I think there's a possibility of things happening but with the time element it's premature to comment on it.' he said. "Resolving the Verona situation is a priority for myself. We're doing everything we can from our end to make it happen." The Verona site is "very key to what we're trying to do in the downtown area," Parish added. "The Verona Mall site is very important. It forms part of what is needed to make a strong downtown." On September 5. 1989, Mater's Development Ltd. came to the town with a site plan pro- posal for a major mall. A revised site plan was approved by the town's economic devel- opment committee (now the general government committee) the following month, and clear- ance for building permits was obtained on October '17. Construction began but was halted in January 1990 when the company, which had propemes in Kitchener and Brampton as well as Ajax, went into receivership. Developer Alberto Decoutr, currently faces 34 counts of criminal fraud. Based in Brampton, he is being repre- sented by Toronto lawyer Harry Black. l:�M�"°*� _ .. • CO,os).. 420-2222 OF ICKEJ1%.Ln`YNG Y 905) 683 260 Direct Access .ill provide solutions to our communication challenges today and in the future.

"We are scrambling, quite frankly, to do everything we can to raise money from the commu- nity," says Eva Martin Blythe, Executive Director of the YWCA. "We've got $160,000 less coming in from the Ministry of Community and Social Services." On March S. the YWCA, in association with The Body Shop, is holding its third annual Dairy Day, the fust of several critically - important events planned to help fiord its emergency shelter. coun- selling and other support services for women and children in crisis situations.

Kuq.4. ill all of the talk of finding a better and more efficient fora) of government I'm always amazed at how reticent Ajax and Pickering are on this entire subject. The time has come to look at the economics of merging our two municipalities into a single more efficient government. Sure we understand that a large mega government for the entire GTA is not the way to go but surely there would be tangible savings ill a single government handling some 120,000 residents. Think of it: one City Hall, shared community centres, reduced administrations and, yes, fewer politicians! We now share a hos- pital, a board of trade, our transit services even our United Way's efforts are combined. As taxpayers we can no longer afford to pay for a system that appears to duplicate everything. Our elected officials owe it to us. A Bridge to Nowhere 1 wasn't certain whether to entitle my comments "Bridge to Nowhere" or "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I am amazed that Pickering Councii still doesn't have its spending priorities straight. Go figure: Pickering has just shelled out $150,000 of our taxpayer money for a report and concrete footings for a cycbstlpedestrian bridge across Highway 401 — one which may cost a further $3 - million to complete. With all the other pressing needs within our community, sure- ly this is something we could live without in these times. With pedestrian access already available at Liverpool and no new res- idences planned for that area, just who is this meant to service:' And who walks? I hope the politicians hold a concrete pouring ceremony, com- plete with a plaque bearing the names of the councillors who supported this extravagance. We'll be sure to capture this "Kodak moment" for the archives. This bridge will never be built. R�' -�itia+f•_ x,. Photo by Jim Lynch MUSH ...

It seems like a million years ago that the "hype" started about the major shopping centre Ajax residents were about to see — finally! Ajax had watched, with envy, as everyone else got theirs. Of course it would probably never compare with the Pickering Town Centre or the Oshawa Shopping Centre, but at least it would be close to home.. And rumour had it. the glossy place might even have a (gasp!) movie theatre. Something that might take away the taste of bitterness left over from the time when plans for Harwood Mall somehow gee twined and the long-awaited, promised, "theatre" mysteriously disappeared somewhere between construction and opening day. (Rumour also has it that the theatre was, in fact, built and does still exist, thus providing the perfect venue for Phantom of the Odeon!) It was going to be called "Verona". Seemingly overnight, the hoarding went up — dadc blue, with promises of sores we'd never heard of. No Sears, no Eaton's — a Mayfair Department Store — and not even a mention of one recog- nizable bank. No matter! Ajax was about to get its very own 34evel stropping centre with a parking lot that would coyer "8Q,OOO square feet of landscaped area" and "pmvide policing for more that 1.500 ars."

If we get plenty of exercise and eat healthy, our heart will last a long time and provide us with many years of good living. The same applies to your vehicle. If you provide the engine with good food (oil), and give it regular exercise (meaning mainte- nance), it too should last a long time. Inside your engine are smooth cylinders and inside each cylinder is a piston. The distance between the cylinder wall and piston wall is so tight, not even a human hair can fit. Most gas engines operate on a 4 cycle system. This means the piston goes up and down 4 times in one cycle. As the piston moves down in the cylinder creating a vacuum, the intake valves open, letting ui gas and air. As the piston moves up, it squeezes the gas and air mix - All about oils and engines lure until the gas becomes explosive. The spark plug ignites causing an explosion, thus pushing the piston back down. As the piston moves up again, the exhaust valves open allowing burnt gases to escape. This piston roves up and down 1250 times per minute at 90kph. In an 8 - cylinder engine, that's 10,000 explosions per minute at 90kph. And that's a lot of movement and friction. Your engine contains many moving parts made from alu- minum and other metals. The heat generated during differ- ent times in the engine can be as high as 5500°F. Due to the closeness of the working met- als and this extreme heat, a lubricant is needed to reduce friction. That lubricant is oil. As the oil runs through the system, it collects small parti- cles of dirt and builds up sludge, and therefore needs to be changed often. Oil should be changed every 3.500 to 5.000km, depending on driving condi- tions. Every time you change your oil, make sure you change the oil filter also. Running clean oil through a dirty filter, is pointless. You are back where you started from with dirty oil. Another reason to change your oil fil- ter with each oil change is that the filter filters out small particles of dirt and sand, although it cannot filter out water, gasoline and other lubricants. There are many types of oil. All oil has viscosity rat- ing. Viscosity is the flowabil- ity at different temperatures. If we look at a 5W30 litre of oil, the fust number (5) is vis- cosity or flowability COLD; the second number (30) is viscosity or flowability HOT. Therefore a 5W30 will be a thinner weight oil than a IOW30. And a 2OW50 will be thicker than a 1OW40. Most passenger cars today use 5W30 year 'round- It is not a good idea to mix oils. If you have have 5W30 in your car, continue to replace it with 5W30. A good habit to get into is checking your oil every few weeks. The best time to check your oil is in the morning, after the oil has drained into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. You always check your oil with the engine off. If the engine is running, you will not get an accurate read- ing. The oil level is very impor- tant. You always want just the right amount, not too much or too little. If you have too lit- tle, the oil on the bottom of the pan is used. This oil tends to be dirtier, and therefore will clog the oil filter faster. If you have too much oil, as the oil pump picks up the oil it is stirred, creating bubbles, and bubbles don't lubricate well. There has been a lot of talk about synthetic oil.

Pine Ridge Pumas senior boys' basketball team is breathing a big sigh of relief alter they squeaked out a 60- 56 win over cross-town rival Pickering Trojans in the LOSSA (Lake Ontario Secondary School Association) championship match last Thursday at Durham College. Coming in as slight favourites, the Pumas had their hands full in the final. -In a basketball game with that much talent on the floor, I never thought this would be an easy win.- said Puma coach Bob Marsh_ "The bot- tom line to it was that it was a cross-town rivalry and it's for bragging rights besides going to OFSAA, With a berth to the provin- cial championships on the line, Pine Ridge and Pickering engaged in a tightly contested final. Pickering controlled the pace of the game for 46 of the 48 minutes. But some key rebounds and steals in the defensive end for Pine Ridge helped propel them over the upstart Trojans in the dying minutes of the game. "It was tight," said a relieved Marsh who looked agitated about what was going on in the first half of the game. "We played their game and fell into their game men- tality. We came out flat and they were beating us at their ,game. "But when it came down to the end. it was a matter of who wanted it more_" Pickering was able to take Pine Ridge's two big men, Quincey Providence and ',Kevin Taylor, out of the game in the first half-, limiting both to a combined five points. That, and the quickness of Trojan's Claude Gaynor, were giving the Pumas fits. "Claude Gaynor was that much better than us taking it to the hole," said Marsh. It wasn't until the fourth quarter when Pine Ridge fig - trod out how to stop him. And when they finally solved it, the complexion of the game changed. Taylor changed up his game and the Pumas held on to the lead once they got it late in the third quarter. "Kevin Taylor just took over the game;" said Pickering coach Ron Parfitt. "And num- ber four (Shawn Burgess) hit a wide open three. We gave it to him. We let him have it and that was the difference." Parma was at the helm after Pickering coach Finbar Strachan was called away to Grenada for an emergency. "Finbar had them well pre- pared," said Parfitt. `They did well.- It ell"It wasn't the prettiest LOSSA championship to ever be played — Pickering played the game they needed to knock off the Puma's — but it fell just short of the spectacle we would have liked. Ironically, it was former Trojan, Providence, who put the final nail in the coffin. Usually composed, Providence was trying to block out the rowdy Trojan fans who had been riding him the whole game, while attempting a freethrow in the dying seconds.

This year. Donevan swept aside the Spartans in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association championships last week. Donevan captured the crown with a 4-3 victory in game two of the best -of -three finals. The Blue Devils took the first game 3-1 to send them on their way. But Dunbarton shot themselves in the foot in game two, trailing 3-0 late in the fust period. Once again, defensive gaffs cost them a shot at the crown. "That was just uncharacteristic of them," said Spartan coach Bill Dalliday. "We made a couple of mistakes and we paid for it." Despite dominating the opening four minutes of the con- test, Dunbarton were set back on their heels with a couple of quick goals. But thought trailing early, they were able to fight back and make it a nail-biting contest. "They deserve credit for coming back the: way they did." said Donevan coach Bert Hoefs. To their credit. Dumbarton were playing with a depleted lineup against a tough Donevan Collegiate. Even without four starters, the Spartans were able to give the Blue Devils a tough series. "We just didn't have the legs," said Dalliday. "Donevan is a good enough team to play full strength. We wanted to play a little more attacking and go 'til we ran out of gas."

The -e portion of the appliance that sits Z inside the house contains an evaporator coil in which a gas circulates at a very low temperature. The cold gas absorbs heat from the air. A compressor then raises the temperature of the gas and circulates it in a condenser coil, outside the house, where it expels the heat. A thermostat starts and stops the compressor depending on the desired temperature. We Don't Sell Energy We ... SAVE IT Two fans accelerate heat exchanges. The first draws in household air over the evaporator coil, then blows it back into the room. The second circulates outside air around the condenser coil to more rapidly dissipate the heat accumulated by the gas before it returns to the interior coil. As it cools the air, the air conditioner also dehumidifies, which is essential for comfort. The moisture in the hot air condenses on contact with the evaporator coil. The condensation simply drips into clic - Over 26 Years Experience Lrock Rd., (905) 619-9062 the bottom of the unit, then is drained off at the back of the unit. In this respect, an air conditioner 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 easier to bear. Combined with adequate window coverings, this could be a worthwhile altemative to an air conditioner. AIR FLOW AND NUMBER OF SPEEDS The main advantage of a fan with a strong air flow is that it circulates the air more rapidly, thus speeding up the cooling process. Most air conditioners have three -speed fans, although a number 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, consisting of small flaps at the back of the unit which force out household air and draw in outside air, a useful feature 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 FEATURE Under 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 compressor does, thus saving a few cents on operating costs and reducing noise. The Loom temperature, however, may be less comfortable because the cooling effect will be uneven. EASE OF IN'STALLAT1ON Air conditioners are usually easy to install. Simply place the unit on the window sill, and make sure it is level. It is usually easier if two people handle the appliance, as it weighs about 30 kg and may be awkward to manipulate alone. Some manufacturers 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 conditioners conte equipped with expandable side curtains. In other cases, translucent panels can be installed. Take a close look at the curtains and ascertain how effective and stwdy they are. if the air conditioner is to be installed on the ground floor, it's worth getting a translucent 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 household 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. Havutg a cool room is pleasant, but a noisy air conditioner can be annoying. Manufacturers are aware of the problem and have endeavoured 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 indicated in the technical specifications. Ask the vendor to run the models you are interested in. This may not be possible in all stores, but it is worth ;eking. SPECIAL Inti some units, the exterior fan draws off condensation and blows it against the evaporator coil, reducing dripping and slightly improving the output. In other models, a timer makes it possible to program the unit. Some models have a slide -out chassis which is first installed in the window opening, thus facilitating installation.

Atkinson, a director with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and winner of the 1995 Ajax Civic Award, returns to a council that appears to be welcoming him back with open arms. Several local politicians, including regional chair Jim Witty and regional councillors Roger Anderson and Jim McMaster, were on hand at Atkinson's victory party. The by-election was held to fill the vacancy left by McMaster, who moved up to the regional council seat left vacant when Steve Parish was appointed mayor, following Jim Witty's appointment to regional chair after the death of Gary Herrema. Atkinson was defeated in several key polls in Pickering Village. "I've got some work to do there," he said during the festivities at his home near Lake Ontario, where more than 100 well-wishers gathered to celebrate. Atkinson said the Mitchell brochure, distributed throughout Ward 3 last Friday, smacked of "the politics of fear." The brochure stated, among other allegations, that Atkinson accepted campaign contributions from developers. "Politics in Ajax may have lost a bit of its innocence," said Atkinson over the brochure, adding that a campaign decision was made to "take the high road" and not respond to it. Mitchell, hosting a small party at her kitchen design centre on Westney Road, later defended the brochure, saying that everything in it "was drawn from what Joe had said publicly and in print." On the issue of road construction, Atkinson said he is strongly in favour of using capital budget reserve funds to improve streets in Pickering Village, an issue the council was deadlocked on prior to the election. Other issues he'll be looking at include the J&F waste transfer station and the acquisition of 10 acres of property for lakeside parkland at the foot of Harwood Avenue. On the topic of the Golden Report, which calls for amalgamation of some municipalities, Atkinson said the study is overblown. "On issues as big and as passionate as the Golden Report, you have to have your head and Your heart in sync. It's very easy to get caught up in the emotion of it." Mitchell, who ran against Jim Witty in the last municipal election and is active in the Pickering Beach Residents' Association, the Ajax Waterfront Advisory Committee, the Citizens for Carruthers and the Ajax Downtown Study, vowed to continue her strong support for local issues. "I'll definitely be active." she said. "I'll continue to work on the issues."
