The manufacturing honcho and Ajax resident is, indeed, larger than life. He's big and barrel-chested, with thick and leathery worker's hands, a deep, resonant voice and a confident manner that suggests both blue-col- lar sensibility and entrepreneurial flair. He is variously a kind grandfather, hosting a birthday sleep -over in a hobby -farm bam on his 23 -acre property that hugs Carruthers Creek Marsh; an environmental protectionist, shooing Florida -style airboat users .Tway from swan rusting sites. and a forward-looking manufacturer with a commitment to technology and training. Two yeah ago, he marred his second wife Dianne, the couple has six grandchildren. A town resident for eight years, Hornung is chairperson and CEO of a cozen manufacturing and investment companies. His most prominent local ventures are Horn Plastics Ltd., D&E Precision Tooling Ltd., Pike's Tent & .Awning Ltd. and H.A. Hornung Inestments Ltd., all under the umbrella of The Horn Group. Together, they earn sales of more than $30 million a year. Homung's story is one of achievement, of a German teenager with a nould-making apprenticeship under his belt who came to Canada in 19%. to make his fortune. Along with other European emigres. Homung was pan of a wave of skilled European tradesmen who capitalized on North Amenca's boom years, beginning in the mid -1950%. He studied English at night school and put in 80 -hour weeks at his trade, using "sweat equity" to earn a stake in Canadian industry. 'There are unlimited opportunities here," he says, his eyes crinkling. "lou put your own limitations on things and coming to this country and seeing what other people could do, l said 'Why not?'" Hornung found his future in making the moulds for plastic products. In 1969, Hornung jointed with two partners to establish a mould -mak- ing business, D&E Precision Tooling Ltd. The company later expanded into a full-service operation for plastic products. One partner quit, Hornung's remaining partner died in 1976. Over the years, his company expanded into the tent and awning business with the acquisition of Pike's (the largest tent maker in Canada), and eventually entered the real estate field. Hornung's companies employ more than 200 workers, in plants from Bowmanville to Scarborough and in Alberta. sCoadmod w page 2 save B&M call \ ' I e`�--L�� ve--niingss, XCELL AM Ben Mobility Centre Bell Mobility Centre 843 King St.W.(Next to Don Cherry's) Pickering Town Centre 4905) 5761212 41106) OW -1212 Bell Mob49 ility ' X COVER ST 9 �^ Horst a Hornung - CEO, environmentalist, grandfather 'RE BA -E -0 SEALER PLUS TAXES.

I rte" .�- � ; - Loaded eftm cowr psp Hornung comes by his love of animals and the environment natu- rally, from an early age he wanted to be a biologist. His private bobby farm is home to a llama, a passel of ducks, three miniature Sicilian donkeys, a fallow deer and four African goats. He recently planted 500 trees in a day. He watches the sum rise above the 13 hectares of Carruthers Creek Marsh (his prop- erty extends halfway into the marsh's bay) and cares about the welfare of the wild animals nesting in its nooks and crannies. And he says most people "don't understand the real story of the environment." Several years ago, Hornung tried to work with local developer Runnymede Corporation on plans to develop the marsh area into a major subdivision. Local environ- mental groups are currently asking for 120 metre buffer zones to pro- tect local wildlife. Runnymede wants to cut those buffers in half and is pursuing a hearing before the Ontario Municipal Board to do it. Hornung had envisioned a park- land open to the public with a bridge spanning the marsh, some- thing that "everyone could share. In Europe, with millions of people in a small span, you have to be care- ful about land use. In Canada, less than one percent of the land is used for development like highways and railways. There has to be a balanc- ing act for progress and the envi- ronment." But the arrival of the Crombie Report, advocating devel- opment of the waterfront trail sys- tem, caused Runnymede to "get cold feet," Hornung says. Local environmental activist and underwater naturalist Errol Sarpkaya counters that Carruthers Creek Marsh should be left entire- ly alone. The marsh, a Class 2 wetland is "much healthier than Duffrns Creek," says Sarpkaya, who recently organized and conducted the mass removal of purple looses- trife from Duffms Creek as part of Ajax Environmental Week. Any development of Carruthers Creek Marsh would adversely affect the economy as weir he Quinn defends delay in by Glenn Hendry Town staff delayed in- forming Pickering council about a S517,000 overpayment paid to a contractor so they could "investigate the situation" themselves, says director of operations Tom Quinn- . Before I put a flag up, I wanted to make sure I knew what I was talking about," says Quinn, who was acting town manager when the over- payment investigation was initiated in late Manch. The actual double payment, made to Stouffville-area company Novacor for the re- consbuction of Fairport Road (mst of a $3.2 million contract awarded in December, 1994), was issued late last year: The money has not yet been mpaid - Quinn was originally tight- lipped about the error, noting he didn't want to "jeopardize" his job by getting into a "contest" with comments made by other councillors and staff members. He did say he followed the chain of command in investigating the mistake. ,Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs was informed a month later and it was several weeks more before council was told "What I was trying to do was make sure department staff knew what had happened, make the necessary contact with the company and investigate the situation," Quinn explams. "I then had to go back and re -check the dbladan. Then I informed Tun (Sheffield). After that the mayor was informed and after adds. "On average, we're losing 120,000 hectares of wetlands a year in Canada. People keep losing track of the fact that these wet- lands provide us with clean water, for free. They act as a giant sponge and they absorb stormwater during thunderstorms. We shouldn't be building on wetlands at all. We should be rebuilding them. They are the only thing we have that will keep our water bills down," he adds. "People would be very shocked if they had to buy bottled water," as is the custom in parts of Europe. " Buis is an important ecosystem to our health and our health costs money." In an economy rocked by reces- sion, Hornung's companies have remained financially healthy. But he sees dismal attitude changes in the community. "Blue collar workers who work with their hands, they're looked down upon," says Hornung, who beams when talking about his own working-class roots. "There should be no stigma attached. I overpayment that council was informed." Sheffield, the town manager, was even more reserved in his comments, saying he won't comment on the timing of the issue until the town's audit committee completes their look at my own toolmakers and they make $70,000 to $80,000 a yam" A customer -driven attitude helped make his various ventures a success, Hornung says. So has extensive staff training. "I like to have for each employ- ee a career path You hear very often how people are your strength. Yet what percentage of your money are you spending on training? The more money a com- pany finds on training its people, the more profitable theyll be." That attitude has paid off - Hornung's operation in Pickering has garnered him more than 10 business awards of excellence and front-page coverage in industry publications. Outside, a duck quacks and a goat bleats. Hornung turns with a smile and extends a strong hand "Have a nice day," he says.

C�.,V 49M Editorial Opinion ............................ Keeping communities alive What a pleasure it is to be able to say that it's Ajax Home Week time again? Coming as it does, after another long, tough winter — and this year a disappointing spring — the warmth of these festivities each year somehow seems to overcome all obstacles. Past years have seen some parade days so hot we thought the marchers might melt and rainy nights which made street dancing and fireworks impossible. But hey, what would Canada be without unpredictable weather, eh? There was a time, not that long ago, when we were able to say that the parade brought out virtually everyone in Ajax — one-half of the population watched, while the other half was in it. And while we may no longer be able to make that statement, the Week remains as a great opportunity for new- comers to meet the mal Ajax, to discover that this town does indeed have warmth and depth. Remarkably, without even having an identifiable "down- town core," Ajax has managed to kap its small town feeling alive — thanks in large part to the work of the hundreds of volunteers in the town's many service clubs and associa- tions, without whose spirit this annual celebration just sim- ply would not happen. New homeowners are often surprised to discover that Ajax is much more than just another of Toronto's many bed- room communities; not merely a place to drive through on your way to and from the GO train. We challenge newcom- ers to become a part of this community. Spend this next week meeting Your yrs, watching our service clubs in action, and discovering the unique history of this very unusual town. And don't just stop at the parades (we have two!), find time to walk around historic Pickering Village, take die Ajax LACAC bus tour (new this year) to learn even more about the balmy which surrounds you, and than buy the book, "A Town Calld Ajax" (avmWble at the Central library). Take in the pancake breakfast, have dimer out with us; support Your community while having fun and mewing peo- ple. This year's Youth Crusade '96 celebrates the fact that most — not some, but most — of our youth are good kids. If you have young people in your family, rMcommend that they check it out. We need to cekbrate our =cc== more. In Pickering, the Frenchman's Bay Festival promim to be a blast again this year, offering a glimpse of yet another community which knows how to celebrate die fact that it exists. Have you considered joining a service club hW. In a time when "communities" have all but disappeared amid urban sprawl, how fortunate we are to have people who care enough to keep alive such spirit and pride of place, A groat big thank -you to all those who do! 4 deserve be diad �ke`poti ars acct<s pmvidi.. the *y for?

It is a time when long time residents renew old friendships and new arrivals can become aware and involved in the many aspects of our Town. From the very beginning Ajax has been served by very strong and dynam- ic Service Clubs. These clubs count on your support throughout the year to assist them in their community and char- itable efforts. Ajax Home Week is the opportunity for our Service Clubs to say 'Thank You" for your support. As a past Chairman of Ajax Home Week I know the tremendous effort and commitment that goes into organizing this event. On behalf of all mem- bers of Ajax Town Council, I congrat- ulate 1996 Chairman Roger Mattison and all members of his hardworking com- mittee for their efforts. Once again they have done an outstand- ing job. Ajax Town Council fully sup- ports Ajax Home Week and takes plea- sure in inviting you and your family to participate in the many Home Week events. Sincerely, Steve Parish, Mayor `96 Chairman As we enter our second twenty-five years of Home Week I would like to invite all Ajax residents to become part of this year's celebra- tion. A special thanks to new Mayor Parish and Town Council for their continued support and to Ajax Parks and Recreation and Ajax Works All of your favourites are bade, our opening parade, Kinsmen Steam Bar B Q, Rotary Pancake Breakfast and Fireworks Findel " with a mxnber of new events that should not be ignored. Youth Crusade '96 will be ongoing for four days, starting June 6 at the Ajax co mlunilty Centre under the direction of Danny Fehr. We are also privileged to have Alannah Myles in concert on June 8, 1996 at the Annandale Arena. Also new this year, we are work- ing in conjunction with the Pickering Village Festival. Their events along with ours make up one of the largest Home Week undertakings in many years. I would at this time Ike to thank 1 y friends at the Ajax Kinsmen Club _without whom I would never have been able to handle this job as Chairman. Their ongoing support has made this g that I can be proud of. In dosing let me invite each and every resident to participate In as many events is you can. This is your celebration - _ enjoy. Roger R Mattison Chalmian '96 a youth in spotlight at youth This summer, make Crusade 196 f] o-r+arIPc PVPn NPt-fPr It's an unfortunate fact that young people are, more often than not, portrayed negatively in the media. This weekend, a group of talented and dynamic youths will be out to change that image during Youth Crusade '96 at the Ajax Community Centre. The Durham -wide, non- denominational Christian foun- dation is hosting a blockbuster event, complete with live bands and guest speakers, that should be one of the highlights of Ajax Home Week. On the agenda is music from entertainers like soloist Heather McCullough and the band RISE, a Youth Cafe, guest speakers (featuring local MP Dan McTeague and Toronto Argonaut Brian Warren, as well as youth speakers), dramas, a food bank, barbecue and praise gatherings. Dorothy Fehr, a spokesperson for the crusade and the mother of Youth Crusade director Danny Fehr, said changing perceptions among adults will be a bonus, but it will not happen overnight. More important, she says, is giving hope to a "lost generation" of youths. "The outreach is to give the kids a reason for existing and to get the kids involved in the community instead of just hanging around and getting into trouble," she says. "We want to show them they can have good clean fun without drugs and alcohol. We want to show them there is a purpose for life." 'Positive' influences for today's young people, dubbed 'Generation X', will be out in force at the four-day event, which begins Thursday. Hundreds of youths are involved in organizing the crusade, now in its third year. "Not all young people are bad. We have some positive young people here who are outreaching to other kids." Danny, now 28, was one of those youths who could have used more positive influences growing up. He did stints in jail for theft and drugs and depended heavily on the bottle. Finally, Danny, with help from the Bible, starting believing in himself and began turning his life around. Youth Crusade '96, which will be held on the west soccer field, runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday with early festivities (the crusade will have a float in the Home Week parade) on Saturday, beginning at 12:30 p.m. The praise gathering will be held Sunday, starting at 8 pm.

Quite simply, it's the number one ownership package in the area, with payments as low as $689 per month P&L s With the generous 5.9 per cent financing and the low sticker prices, the homes at Queen's Court are perfectly suited for fust time buyers, although Carter reports most of her early sales have been to empty -nesters. Whatever your situation, there's a home at Queen's Court for you. Let's take a look at the Grange, 1,467 square foot townhome, for example. On the main floor there are adjoining dining and living rooms (with optional fireplace) for optimal family space, a cozy kitchen and powder room. On the upper floor there are three bedrooms, with two bathrooms, including an ensuite (with shower stall) adjoining the sumptuous 166" x 11'4" master bedroom, which comes with double Closets. The basement includes a rough -in three-piece bathroom and an optional finished area. All the bathrooms and powder rooms come with ceramic towel bar and tissue dispenser, the doors in the Grange are painted Colonial series and the home contains energy-saving features like genuine insul-glass quality windows with maintenance -free white vinyl casement (excluding basement). The Grange, part of Queen's Court's smart new new lifestyle appeal, has the look and feel of a detached home from the outside - complete with interlock walk to front entry - but with the affordable townhome price of just $153,500. Other townhome styles include the Victoria (1.660 sq. ft., $168,400), Amhurst (1,294 sq. ft., $144,900) and Chatham (1,276 sq. ft., $149,300).

Given the amount o. information we have received on the subject it recent years, the majority of us realize that water conservation is necessary for the future. The next logical step is to look at our household water usage with conser- vation in mind — and to help reduce our personal cost. The following check list will help assess water effi- ciency in each home situa- tion. 1. Is the toilet an old water guzzler? New low flush toilets can save up to 60 per cent less water per flush. 2. Replace leaky tap washers or faucets, A small drip can waste mega litres per day. 3. Use aerators on all faucets to reduce tap water flow by 25 per cent. 4. Install low flush shower heads and cut this water usage by 50 per cent. 5. Check for leaks in all plumbing futures. Dollars and water could be wasted. Through increasing demand and municipal government regulations, the field of water conser- vation products continues to expand. The phunbing industry now offers more stylish and attractive low flow futures to suit individual home decor. Above all, when we maloe these decisions we trust look at water conser- vation as an anti -waste method and not an anti -use program. It is the environ- mentally smart thing to do. W r •I.A-V_ ...

Homes in the community are chock-full of special features, not the least of which is the park -like setting. Parkwood Glen — an apt name if there ever was one — is bordered by a park (and meandering Oshawa Cheek) to the east and historic Camp Samac to the west. The tastes of city life: schools, entertainment, a medical clinic and shopping (including 5 Points Mall) are but a short drive to the south. At Parkwood Glen, you can truly have your cake and eat it too. And with the homes - all bungalows and two-storey houses - staning at just $139,900, the price isn't too rich, either. "It's an absolutely beautiful setting," says Anna Italiano, an on-site sales representative for builder MapleRun Homes. "If you border onto Camp Samac or the park, don't be surprised to see deer in your back yard." Inside the Parkwood Glen homes — there are just a few lots remaining. so you'd better m(,,, e fast — there are a host of special features sure to please the discriminating home buyer. The main stairs have oak finished stringers, oak railing and oak spindles in natural finish, as per plan. The doors are Colonial 800 Series, with colonial trim, there are interior french doors with obscured glass in kitchen pantrys, as per plans, and mirrored slider doors on front entry closets. The kitchen and bathroom features include porcelain bathroom fixture holders, pressure balance valves on tub/shower and shower glass enclosure with shower door, as per plan. Other features include ceramic floor tile in hover. rough -in for central vac, rough -in for three-piece washroom in basement and single xvel faucets in all bathrooms. !MapleRun offers all -brick exteriors on all plans but one (some with stone front ievations). "I don't think there's a builder out there ho gives as many features as we do, for as good a price," Anna says. To make the homes at Parkwood Glen an even sweeter deal, MapleRun Homes is running a spring inventory sale, with .liscounts available on three homes, now -eady for immediate occupancy, including the -2.202 sq. ft. Grandview on Lot 41. The Grandview, which comes on a 40 -foot iot, is all -brick with stone front elevation, gas fireplace, open concept, pantry with french door, en suite oval tub and separate shower.

Allanah Myles Home Week kicks off with Aliumah Myles at "Wired '96" on Saturday, June 8, at Annandale Arena The event will also feature local opening acts Sister Kaos, Headrush and Thieves Crossing. From playing dubs throughout her native Canada, to globe-trotting tours in support of "Black Velvet" and her new album, "ALANNAH," Alamah Myles has never played it safe. Her refusal to stick to any formula is amply demonstrated on "ALAN- NAH." "Stylistically, this record might be a tribute to all my favourite groups of the '60s and 70s," she says. Alannah co -wrote eight of the album's eleven songs. Alannah Myles was born on Christmas Day. Her father, who was in broadcasting and advertising, produced Canada's fust radio show and was Inducted into the Cana" Broadcasting Hall of Fame. She wrote her first song at the age of eight and would later sell ber horse to buy her first Ovation guitar to play in clubs and coffee houses. .Deterred by her pans hem panting a musical areer, the bullied her way right ahead with one anyway. She hefta"Wlines "Wired 19611 began performing sob gigs in Southern Ontario at the age of 18; a couple of years later, she met Christopher Ward and opened for his band; soon, they were in a band together, playing covers of songs by Atetha Franklin. Bob Seger and the Pretenders, while also pretending that Alannah's origi- nals were covers to trick club owners. "That's how I got gigs'" she laughs. When success finally came, it came in a big way: The bluely Black Velvet,' became an RIAA gold single, and the album, from which it came, went ten times platinum in Canada, ultimately selling over five million traits worldwide. The album and/or Black Velvet' also won three TranA4 soms, gabb Canadian Juno Awards; Alamah gar- nered a Grammy for "Best Rock Female Vocal Performance." After touring relentlessly in support of that album aad her more rock -oriented second album, "ROCKING - HORSE," Alamah moved back to Toronto "to get back to myself," she says. She fives by lake Ontario and keeps a show horse in the country.

Dunbarton High School's senior boys rugby team has captured the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association title for the third consecutive year. The Spartans finished top of the heap after a hard-fought 8-3 victory over a gutsy Pine Ridge squad last Friday at Wanderers Field. "We physically played very hard," said Spartan coach Bill Dalliday. "Both teams are very, very aggres- sive. But the kids worked very hard, no question." After dom- inating the opening 15 minutes of the game, the Spartans took penalty after penalty which allowed the Pumas to get field position and make the easy try to put the Spartans up 5-3. It was a lead they would never relinquish, although there were some tense moments for the red and black in the dying seconds of the match. With under five minutes remaining in the title game, the Pumas pressed for the tying try five meters from the Spartan goal line. The rest of the match was played within that area as Dunbarton tried to escape with the victory.

Pine Ridge's Bill Taggart opened the scoring by boot- ing one through the uprights to give his team a 3-0 lead. But Dunbarton bounced right back two minutes later, thanks in large part to an incredible run from a scrum by Chris Fairen, who was able to open up a big hole and pass off to Rob Patterson for the apparent tie, a penalty was called just seconds before on them to deny the score. But Pine Ridge continued to apply the pressure only to have the referee blow the final whistle with the Pumas inches away from the goal line. "I wanted to get away from their forwards," said Dalliday of the game plan. "We had better backs, and I knew that..
