Haug wanted the town to stop advertising in the community newspaper, claiming the paper "distorted facts" and "abused the powers of the press" during recent news stories. Haug, who linked this paper's editorial views with the Nazi propaganda machine of the 1930's, said local newspapers should be putting a "positive" spin on news stories instead of "attacking" councillors. The mayor's ruling was challenged, however, by councillor Doug Dickerson. He gained support from councillors. Rick Johnson, Maurice Brenner and Enrico Pistritto to overturn Arthurs' decision and allow Haug to continue. The mayor's support came from councillors Dave Ryan and Sherry Senis. Arthurs, who said he has been challenged "two or three times" since he was elected mayor in 1988, believes this is the first time his chair has been challenged successfully. Is Dan looking shaggy these days? On Sunday. March 24, MP Dan McTeague will be getting "a hair cut that could save a life" when VA Hair Design, 750 Oklahoma Drive in Pickering, holds its 1st Annual Haircut for Cancer Research.

Cost for a wash, cut and dry is $20 and cutting will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Dan's appoint- ment is for 12 noon. In addition to refreshments, a "loonie raffle" will be a part of the day's activities. Cut-a- thon organizer (and VA owner) Angie Baglieri, who was prompted to organize this event after losing a dear friend to cancer, gays Site was over- whelmed by the nipport of the stylists and many community businesses who have generous- ly donated prizes. The Cut-a-thon is part of the Canadian Cancer Society's spring appeal.

And they're granted $6.500 for memberships and $9,000 for public relations and special events, including "lun- cheons, floral tributes, pins, flags, plaques, etc." Frampton says that what irks TAX COPA is money that is "not well -monitored by staff," including $1 million that was previously budgeted for Fairport Road — money that ballooned into $3 million. The issue of reserve money is always con- tentious, says Frampton. "Staff are not forthcoming about reserve dump site. It turns out money did come out. I would like to see an itemized list of how money is spent." And the Frenchman's Bay project — a controversy involving a poten- tial million -dollar payout. closed -door discussions and screaming silence on the pan of some councillors — demands an accurate account- ing, says Frampton. "The mone for money. I would really like to know where the reserve money is going." During TAX COPA's six- year history, the group has been given erroneous informa- tion on several occasions, she says. "Last year we were told no money would be coming out (of reserves) to pay for the I the Bay — where are they going to get the money for that?• W h i l e councillors' lavish com- munications allowances remain. omitted from this year's budget will be a dump truck (the 1968 model now in use will have to make do) and fire truck. The Ajax & Pickering General Hospital — already hard-hit by govern- ment cutbacks and shortages — will not receive the support ev" r Hot"%4+ COMMUNITY HAPPENING SUBMISSIONS: it had hoped for from Pickering taxpayers. This year's budget says "no" to the hospital's request for $25,000, the donation amount included in budgets for the past two years. The bottom line for TAX COPA is that taxpayers are wearying of having the phrase "zero tax increase" held over the taxpayers' heads while the provincial government forces the imposition of user fees for services formerly paid for by taxes. "It bothers me that this thing hangs over our heads every time a budget comes around; says Frampton, who does allow that councillors are beginning to recognize the needs of the citizens. "The mindset of council has changed quite a bit but the mindset of staff has to change." she says. ' The reality of it is that peo- ple are out there losing their homes because of taxes — and we'll have more user fees with the passage of (the Ontario Government's) Bill 26." ,.�Qklahoma :Speedway to remain open A 173 -name petition and the support of local school princi- pals was not enough to get a four-way stop sign erected at Oklahoma and Eyer Drives in south Pickering, a stretch of road infamously dubbed by residents as the "Oklahoma Speedway." The town has instead agreed "Letts slow to install a pedestrian -activated traffic control device called an down the Intersection Pedestrian Signal ,I' (IPS), or half signal, at the Oklahomel intersection. The towns' decision didn't Speedway to please local resident Rob: McCaig, however. McCaig, s who has been fighting for a i f Is its d stop sign in front of Fairport Beach Public School for nearly Sliding stop.'.' two years, said the IPS device ' will not solve the speeding problem on Oklahoma Drive, where two pedestrians have been injured in recent years. "The problem with this intersection is public safety," he said. "Without a crossing guard... we could have disastrous results." McCaig, who represented the Baywest Lookout Point Ratepayers Association at Monday's council meeting, called town staffs recommendation a "complete waste of taxpayer dollars." McCaig claims the cost of the report and the IPS device could top $35,000. A stop sign with warning lights would only cost $12,000, he added. "Let's slow down the Oklahoma Speedway to a stop, even if its a sliding stop," he said. "Most of all, let's save a few lives." If the staff recommendation is approved during final budget debate, the IPS device will be installed this summer. f i Listings in the Community Happenings column are free.

But alter the novelty wears off, we usually realize that it's high time we prepared our cars or trucks for the long hot summer to come. it's understood that we all follow normally scheduled maintenance procedures to the letter, so there is no need to do an oil change, inspect the hoses, check the rest of the fluids and filters or rotate the tires, is there'' From a cosmetic point of view, it will probably take a full afternoon to get your vehicle ready for summer. The first step would be to go to a car wash and use the pressure washer to remove the outer laver of topsoil. Make sure you spray the underside of the vehicle including the wheel wells and under the bumpers to flush out the last morsel of salt residue. Then, at home, use car soap and a bucket of warm water with a cotton wash mitt to go over the vehicle again, being sure to rinse the wash mitt frequeruly and change the wash water each time it loses suds or becomes dirty. Make sure you use a wet cloth around the door jams and where the hinges are, as this is where a lot of residue accumulates. After you are satisfied that your baby is clean, dry it with a chamois so that water spots do not form Now is the perfect time to use your touch-up paint to cover all the stone chips you will have accumulated over the winter. While the touch-up paint is drying, remove the floor mats, wash them, and give the interior a complete vacu- uming. Thoroughly wash and dry the plastic and vinyl inte- rior panels, and then treat with a rubber or vinyl dress- ing. When the touch-up paint is dry. you can wax the vehicle. There is a big difference between polish and wax, so make sure of what you are buying. Polishes are designed to clean and shine dead, oxi- dized paint and remove embedded dirt. Wax does not shine. Its function is to pro- tect paint from the harsh effects of ultraviolet sun rays, dirt pencuation, enviro imen- tal pollutants and weather related problem:. Wax is intended to be applied over polished surfaces to maintain the luster acquired through polishing. Follow the direc- tions carefully for whatever product you decide to use. Don't forget to clean all the windows, being very careful around the rear defroster wires as they dam- age easily. Thorough cleaning of a vehicle will undoubtedly remove a lot of lubrication, so use a light grease recom- mended for pivot points such as door hinges and latch pins, hood hinges, tailgate or trunk hinges, and seat tracks. Today's cars and trucks are so complicated that even sim- ple maintenance, such as changing spark plugs, requires specialized tools and a qualified technicians. But there's no reason you can't keep the outside looking like new. oil Qk�Ii 141 We Pay FREE Engine KAP AUTO up to Shampoo and SERVICE WIPER Car'Wash FREE slo0 Interpr)nnciai OIL CHANGE BLADES Deductible QU1G GIasa X s" h.77 TP. h h Interprovincial -1 Auto Glass MW . ...............` A a SPRING TUNE-UP SPECIALS 4 cyl 55.95 oc- 6 cyl 65.95 1, tGSe-101, 8 cyl 75.98 E° Includes checking of all hoses, belts, fluids & replacing fuel filter & spark plugs. 905 Dillingham, Rd.

This year in Pickering, the budget has considered such ques- tions; as wiping out the jobs of several school crossing guards and 11 firefighters; cutting bad on library services; cancelling plans to buy a fin trnck and dump track; possible closure of the Dunbarton pool; and turning a deaf ear to the community's only hospital at a time when its needs are most crucial. But did we tear any talk about last yea's overspending by councillors and town departments? - Why did Picke ing's magyar and councillor budgets go up, at a time what everyone else is eltpeetied to bite the bullet? And will the town's expanses for this yea include the purchase of the Ajax STARS program? To date, taxpayers have yet to ham any comrlmiUnernt to fru- gality from the players involved. Will Enrico Pistriuo start using his office phone and stop using the one in his ca to tvn up thousands of dollars in annual phone bills? Will Rick Johnson lose his reputation as one of the top spenders at regional council? Why does the mayor require an additional. $5.000 this year to tun his office? And what on. ex& are thtm eountalloms plan- ning to do with close to $22,000 more tum they am all=#?

Lam, to., 14 E4U4 In the interest of balanced opinion Dear Sirs: The letter of March 13, 1996 titled "Shame, Shame, Shame," is the type of ridiculous rhetoric so typical of old-style politics. If Mr. Ugresley indeed wants a new type of co-operative council, he needs to initiate it. Spewing scathing indictments of half-truths benefits no one in this town. When my wife and I moved to Pickering 17 years ago the dump was an issue hotly debated. The dump is still a catalyst for high -running emotion. Mr. Dickerson has only served on council for one three-year term in all that time. How can you possibly blame the pitfalls of the dump on him? Some people whose opinions are expressed in your paper have their minds made up and don't want to lis- ten to the facts. I hope you print this in the interest of balanced opinion from a long-time resident of Pickering.

This method must have been chosen for a ieason – to cut back on overdue accounts, save staff time, and make it more convenient for the client/taxpayer. As a person who pays her taxes promptly by cheque, I would be pleased to see the Town offer a 1% discount to all who choose to pay promptly. Why should I not receive the same benefits as those who choose to use plastic - a 1% discount? The banks offer the service for the Town, but it is unreasonable to expect them to do it at a cost to them. Another method of savings could be paying all accounts payable within the discount time period. If none is offered, then the cost of carrying the (60-90 day) account is built in. I have no idea what the Town spends, but even with a 1% discount the savings per year could be impressive. Mary Cook `. QY SEAN QAKKlCES 0 UT NOTT BEFORE WE EN'SOY THE "St- ppm,f MUD" OF SPRING! c-t_� A National Happenings DAI, M,;TeAjot, M.P. - Ont. Riding The 1996 Federal Budget he recent federal budget continues the government's plan to secure Canada's financial future and the social security of Canadians. This budget ensures that the government will meet its Red Book commitment to reduce the federal deficit to 3% of GDP in the first three years in office. By 1998-99, federal program spending will be reduced to 12% GDP, the lowest level in 50 years. Our financial requirements (the money we must borrow each year) will be the lowest of the G-7 countries. Our method is balanced and fair, and is not supported by tax increases. In fact, there are no tax increases of any kind in this budget. Departmental budgets will be cut $770 million in 1998-99. Spending on defence will be reduced by $800 million and interna- tional assistance will be reduced $150 million. We will also look at opportunities to privatize Crown corporations and commercial- ize other government activities. The budget ensures a secure, stable and growing system of fed- eral support for medicare, post -secondary education and social assistance through the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST) to the provinces. There will be no further cuts in federal transfers. We are restoring confidence in the old age security system by creating a new Seniors Benefit to replace the existing Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement in 2001. The new system will help those who need help most. Seniors with high incomes will receive less anti those with the highest incomes will receive no benefits. Low or modest income seniors will be pro- tected aril their benefits will be higher. The Spouses Allowance Program will renutin and increase by $120 per year. The Seniors Benefit will be tax free and fully indexed to inflation and will ensure the sustainability of the system for years to come. The budget provides a new child support system to ensure ade- quate support is paid regularly to custodial parents. With judge- ments after May 1997, custodial parents will no longer pay income tax on support payments and they will not be tax- deductible for the non-custodial parents. The government will introduce guidelines to help fvnih court judges set fair and con- sistent child support amounts. Jobs and economic growth remains a priority and the govern- ment will reallocate money for new investments in three major areas: youth, technology and trade - areas critical to future jobs and economic growth. An additional $165 million over three years will go to help students and their families with the increased cost of education. $315 million will also be provided over three years to create job opportunities for youth, including an immedi- ate doubting of federal summer jobs for students. Reallocated funding of $270 million will be provided to encourage technological development in the aerospace sector, environmental technologies and bio -technologies. The govern- ment will also continue the Team Canada approach to promoting trade and will provide $50 million in additional support for export financing. This budget enables the government to meet the economic challenges facing Canada and, at the same time, secures our social security programs. ti- he province has given more powers to our local government by allowing them more innovative ways of raising revenue through user fees and tolls on roads. We have yet to see how Ajax, Pickering and Durham Region will respond to rr use this new found power. Are we destined to have Kingston Road change to toll road status? Why did some politicians fight so hard to make Kingston Road come under their jurisdiction rather than the province's — as it had been for many years? Are we to expect user fees at our library? Does our future mean that residents will check out books in the same manner we are accus- tomed to employing when renting videos from the cor- ner stores? Can we expect our base- ball and soccer fields to be made available only upon payment of a fee? Will garbage collection revert to a charge per bag? Will our local bus service rise to three or four dollars a ride when the current subsidy disappears? Could this mean the eventual collapse of public transit out here? User fees make for an interesting discussion but if used simply to mask tax increases, the concept will not work. In my view, our elected officials must work harder to find ways similar to the private sector to pro- vide services at a competi- tive price. ay News .

Buddhist Temple expected to get green light By John Cooper Though the proponents of Durham Region's fast Buddhist temple - Elie first built from scratch - face opposition from town planners and community residents. they will likely get the green light for further planning on April 1, Ajax's Committee of tate Whole decided March 11. Thailand Trading Inc., repre- sented by Scott Kapuscinski of the consulting firm Plantactics, made its case for official plan and zoning by-law amendments to allow continued planning of the facility. The temple, slated for construction on property at the southwest corner of Taunton Road and Church Street, would seat 200 and have parking for 100 cars. Approximately 20-30 worshippers would use the tem- ple on a daily basis, Kapuscinski said. Thailand Trading Inc. must now wait until April l to bring its case back to the Committee of the Whole. An earlier report by town staff was circulated through sev- eral external agencies and was approved, although Director of Planing, Peter Tollefson has said that any go-ahead on the project would be premature since the land in question, desig- nated for rural cluster develop- ment, must still undergo future community planning. Mayor Steve Parish agreed. Planning must be done "in a log- ical manner." said Parish. "(We can't) leapfrog this project before these properties are in the urban envelope." Other committee members present (absent were Ward 1 councillor Frank Schaper and Ward 3 councillor Joe Atkinson) were in favour of the temple, which raised the ire of its poten- tial neighbours on Taunton Road. Issues include well water usage. the look of the facility itself and traffic in the area. Terry Kwan, who lives next to the site, said in a letter to the town that the temple would invade his privacy and is unwel- come. 'The majority of area res- idents (Tax Payers) are not Buddist (sic), therefore would not benefit from such a develop- ment," said Kean. "The major concentration of the congrega- tion resides outside the region, therefore having to commute, would compound traffic prob- lems on already congested local arterial roads." Pat and Dave Convery, also of Taunton Road, said the pro- ject would have "environmen- tal" impact and affect traffic flow. "There are a number of deer and other wildlife that live on this property and the property that is adjacent to it. ... A Buddhist temple in this area will attract a great deal of attention. We recently lived in Richmond. B.C. close to a Buddhist Temple and are well aware of the nature of the religion and the layout of the temple. We found, from experience, that the temple attracted many tourists, includ- ing school bus t,-ttrs all the time. We are aware that the Buddhist temple does not have weekly services but it does attract a con- tinual flow of people all the time.- Kapuscinski ime "Kapuscinski told the commit- tee an independent hydrogeolog- ical survey contracted by his client showed the facility could use a well -water and septic tank system adequately before full servicing to the property takes place in the next several years. He said following the meeting that the facility will use no more water than the average con- sumed by two residential dwellings.

There is a 60 -foot strip of trees around the property, he said. Outside council chambers, Kwan and girlfriend Janice Zawislak complained that the temple will ruin their neighbour- hood. "It's a Buddhist temple.- said Kwan. "It pays no taxes. How do:.s this benefit the region of Ajax?" "We don't know sh-t about this project," said Zawislak. "How can we know what is going on when nobody tells us anything"" According to Kapuscinski, a lack of understanding and acceptance is marring the pro- cess. "I think the difficulty is that people don't understand the religion. They're a little con- cemed and skeptical." Town staff were directed to bring back appropriate terms for project approval on April 1, Parish said later. "They (council members) were interested in approving the proposal but because the staff report indicat- ed denial, there were no terms for approval."

Finishing a basement, fixing up or adding a bath- room, and installing new windows top the list of home renovations planned by Canadians over the next year, a new Royal Bank sur- vey indicates. More than one in five Canadian home owners (22%) say they plan on renovating in the next 12 months. They plan these renovations because, they say, "the home needs repairs" (35%) or "to make the home more comfortable" (33%). These are among the find- ings in the fourth and last report on Royal Bank's third annual Canadian Home Ownership Survey carried out by the Angus Reid Group between December 13 and 17, 1995. A total of 1,028 Canadians were polled on buying intentions, renovations and other hous- ing -related issues. Of the 22 per cent of home owners who said they plan to renovate in the next 12 months, half (50%) said they will spend $5,000 or less, one quarter (25%) plan renovation projects costing between $5,000 and $10,000 and one fifth (21%) will spend more than $10,000. The most common reno- vation intentions are: fi fish- ing a basement (12%), improving or adding a bath- room (12%), adding a bay window or other windows (I I%), and fixing up the kitchen (I I%). Other pro- jects range from adding another room (7%) to land- scaping (I%). In many cases, home ren- ovations are planned because the "house needs repairs" (35%), "to make it more comfortable" (33%) or to "enhance its market value" (14%). The survey also showed that one in four (25%) of Canadian home owners who have mortgages recognize the equity value in their home as a financial resource.

Dr. Pomeranz feels that acupuncture is one of the safest, gentlest forms of thera- py known. In an interview with Dr. Pomeranz in 1995, he stated that for most medical conditions, he believes that acupuncture should be the fust line of treatment because it is a conservative, non-invasive and safe method of care. Acupuncture treatment ranges from 5 to 30 minutes. Each session involves the insertion of sterilized, single - use (disposable), stainless steel needles into specific points along meridians, or energy channels, along the body.

Acupuncture is also helpful for the treatment of more chronic (longer duration) con- ditions such as fibromyalgia (muscle pain and fatigue), cer- tain types of arthritis, and chronic pain syndromes. For most musculoskeletal conditions, I expect to see some improvements by the second or third session. This compares favourably to treat- ment using standard 'elec- trotherapy' such as ultrasound or TENS which typically require many treatments.

Let's look at fat and fibre March has been designated as the Nutrition Month, with this year's theme focussing on "Nutrition To Go". Nutrition To Go! At Home. Do you find it a challenge to make a quick, nutritious breakfast before you dash out to work, to class or to a sporting event? Or do you dread going home, not knowing what you are going to prepare for dinner? if so ... attend the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital's Nutrition Open House on Wednesday March 27, 1996, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in the private dining room (lower level, beside the cafete- ria). The Hospital's Dietitians will discuss such topics as: nutri- tious meal planning tips, healthy quick -food picks, advice on how to read food labels and nutritious lunches for people on the go. There will also be displays, with the main emphasis on how fat and fibre affects our diets. For example did you know that there are 12 grams of fat in half cup of granola (equivalent to 3 isp. of margarine)? On the other hand an apple, with the skin, has the same amount of fibre as 7 tsp. of bran. Who are Dietitiam/Nutritionists? Guided by a code of ethics that ensures your right to safe, reli- able information, a dietitian can provide healthy eating advice tailored to your personal, medical needs and lifestyle. For more information, contact Melissa Jaeger, Dietitian at the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital at 428-5228.

"Coffee, tea or alcoholic beverages don't really help relax us," says Gallagher. "They speed up transmitters in the brain, making us feel more awake only temporarily." Simple Solutions to Stress "But a beverage like milk, which is loaded with 15 essen- tial nutrients and energy, is a much better option to help any- one get through a busy day," adds Gallagher. "Adults need easy and quick nutrition solu- tions to fit into a busy lifestyle and milk fits because it's easy to grab on the run." Some of Gallagher's other stress busters include: a diet that consists of milk, breads. cereals, legumes, eggs, meat and leafy vegetables. Vitamin B for red blood cell formation and to protect nerves; vitamin A for healthy skin and bones; and iron for oxygen to get to the tissues. But diet alone is not enough, don't forget regu- lar physical activity. "It's also important to drink eight glasses of fluid a day because it helps regulate body temperature, assists in proper blood circulation and digestion, as well as replenishes the fluids we lose through evaporation or sweating. There isn't really a bodily function that doesn't rely somewhat on fluid:' says Gallagher. "Make sure at least two of those eight drinks are milk — it's 87 per cent water so it refreshes and rehydrates while providing energy. - When you feel like you're living on the edge, think of simple nutrition solutions that give you energy to help you through a busy day.

Fact: Married couples with children spend 27% of their food dollar on food from restaurants, slightly less than the 33% of those without children. Fad: People who live alone eat approximately half (53%) of their restaurant meals at table -service restaurants and one quarter (27%) from fast-food restaurants.

Home, home in the gym where Fabien does her routine by John Clx>per When you meet Eva Fabien for the first time, she strikes you as someone a little more than just slightly exotic. She could be a former athlete or a coach who guides young athletes to stardom, myste- riously plucked from somewhere in Europe and plunked down here in a gym in Pickering. In truth, Fabien is all that and more. Seated before a computer terminal in a small office at the Pickering Aerials Gymnastics Club, her looks and demeanor are in stark contrast to the intermittent flow of ski -jacketed young mothers and fathers who bring their children to learn the mastery of the balance beam, trampoline, uneven bars and tumbling mat. A coach with the club since 1977, Fabien has been in charge of registration and the recreational program for the past six years. She speaks of the thousands of children she has coached, many of whom have gone on to compete at provincial and national levels, like trampolinist Ben Snape and gymnast Kirsten Koehl, who returned to the club to take on the reins of coaching. Every year, the club sees between 800 and 900 eager youngsters gine through its doors. Some stay; others go on to other sports. Which suits Fabien just fine: her own back- ground mchrdes excellence Tin several sports. Born in the former Czechoslovakia "with skis on my feet," Fabien was active in com- petitive skiing and gymnastics at the national level before caning to Canada in 1969.

A well-balanced life is especially important in sports like gymnastics, notorious for being a hotbed of anooetia and bulimia. `Today, the amount of baining is so, how can I say it, severe," she says.

Leading 4-2 after two periods, Paul Guthrie replaced an injured Dave Norts between the pipes for the Raiders to begin the third period. The Frontenacs scored two goals 12 sec- onds apart to even the game at 4-4 just three minutes into the final stanza. Ajax - Pickering settled in and held off Kingston until they got a break.

Pickering swimmers make the grade Four Pickering Swim Club members met the tough qualifying standards that allowed them to compete at the Provincial Short Course Championships Swim Meet held in Ottawa recently. The meet is for the top swimmers in the province 14 years -old and younger. Warren Barnes (10 years -old) was out- standing, winning three silver medals in the 50 metre, 100m and 200m breast stroke events. Each race was a hard fought battle between Barnes and Jonathan Long of London. The two swimmers were remarkable with neither willing to give up until they finally hit the wall. When the results were in, it showed that Barnes had been out touched to garner the sil- ver medals. He knocked seven seconds off his previous best time in the 200m breaststroke and has now qualified himself for the 11-12 year-old provincials. Barnes also set new club records and achieved new personal best times in his other events at the meet. Eric Gauthier (14 years -old) qualified in five events. His best finish was in the 1�00m freestyle in which he finished 20th in the province. After completing the 60 lengths of the pool, he achieved a new personal best time and set a new club record. Gauthier had to recover quickly from this tiring event to participate m the 400m freestyle event in which he placed 21st: also a personal best time. In each of the 100m and 200m butterfly and the 400 individu- al medley. Gauthier finished in the top 28 in Ontario. Colin Russell (11 years -old) achieved three new personal best times while competing in five events. Russell attained the goal he had set for himself in the 100m freestyle event with a time of 1:05.39. He also swam the 50m and 200m freestyle and the 100m and 2Mm butter- fly with very respectable finishes. After making the tough qualifying standards for provincials at the last possible opportunity. Lauren Campbell (12 years -old) swam two very strong races in the 100m and "00m breast- stroke events. She came from behind to win her heat in the 100m race and was in the top 10 in the province with both finishes. Colin Russel, Lauren Campbell, Eric Gauthier and Warren Barnes.

Yet for all his talent, he is a humble man, playing his music and striving to make this world a better place for all of us, as he reflects in this poem: Listen to the river laughing as it flows Feel the green green grass as it grows beneath your toes See the yellow sun feel it shining on your face Isn't this world a beautiful place Walk through afield that's baked in the sun Sit on the bank and watch the river run In the dark of night see the stars up in space Isn't this world a beautiful place Now don't You sit at home and cry Don't .cit on the fence and watch the world go by Go out and meet it face to face You'll find this world's a beautiful place. for you and me. Smell the perfume of a tall pine tree Up in the sky see the birds flying free Feel the gentle rain feel it running down yourface .Isn't this world a beautiful place.

Mayor Arthurs noted that while Pickering station offi- cials have made numerous more formal presentations to Council in the past, the intent of this Committee is to work with local commu- nity groups and the Town to increase awareness of the station's day-to-day opera- tions and to seek out addi- tional methods of ensuring the community is aware of station events and activities. The Committee plans to meet on a quarterly basis and will be entertaining presentations by various officials and groups at future meetings. Mayor Arthurs stated the meetings will be open to the public and media and dates and locations of future meetings will be publicized.
