PIK" by Jim Lynch
Durham
Tourism
Marjorie Green
editor
Remember that afternoon drive you took a couple of
weeks ago? That one that took you to Oshawa, or
Bowmanville, or maybe north, to Beaverton? And did
you stop someplace — perhaps for ice cream, or a meal,
or to gas up the car?
Well, if you did, the taxpayers of Durham thank you.
Without knowing it, you just contributed to our local
economy and this region's growing tourism industry.
Traditionally, the concept of "tourism" has always
been a tough sell in Durham: we just don't see ourselves
as being a tourist mecca. But while we may not have a
leaning tower, Great Wall, or parliament buildings to
offer, Durham does have fresh air, convenient roadways
and open countryside — plus a delightful assortment of
museums, attractions and local festivals — all just wait-
ing to be discovered, and accepted as important to our
economy.
In 1993, a Tourism Economic Impact Study conduct-
ed by the region's Economic Development Department,
surprised a lot of people when it unearthed the fact that
tourism in Durham had become a 5300 -million a year
industry; a figure which came as no surprise to Norm
Leigh, the department's manager of Business and
Development.
"There were also recommendations contained in that
study that we hire a coordinator," says Norm, "and last
February, we finally brought that to reality when we
hired Patti Watson to assume those duties."
As coordinator for Tourism Durham, Patti admits her
workload has kept her hopping. "We've participated in
12 tourism shows this year, Promoting Durham," she
says. In past years, exposure has been limited to four or
five.

Highway 12, just below

Reader response cards insert-
ed in the 1995 Visitors' Guides
told Tourism Durham that,
although we had entertained vis-
itors from the Philippines,
England, Germany, the U.S.,
South Africa, Yellowknife, other
parts of Canada, and Iraq, 37
percent resided in the Greater
Toronto Area and 30 percent
were from Durham itself.
Surprisingly, many of our
towns, business organizations,
restaurants, marinas, and other
companies who are, in fact, a
part of Durham's tourism indus-
try, have failed to recognize their
place in all this. Tourism
Durham would like to see TADR
achieve new heights in member-
ship and community awareness.
Membership in TADR also guar-
antees a listing in the Durham
Visitors' Guide.
In February, a new toll-free
telephone number, 1-800-413-
0017, was added to make
Tourism Durham easier to find., a
new Information Kiosk was
opened last summer at the
Newtonville Service Centre on
the 401. Residents of Ajax and
Pickering will find their nearest
tourist information centre to be
in Whitby at 900 Brock Street
South.
Each year brings new, excit-
ing events in Durham. Autofest,
in its second year (August 25 at
GM Oshawa) is expected to once
again attract large crowds; the
Highlands of Durham Games
(July 26-28, in Uxbridge and
Port Perry) will offer us some-
thing special this year, and the
opening of the York -Durham
Heritage Railways (expected in
August) will give us a chance to
take a train ride (eventually
steam) from Stouffville to
Uxbridge, in antique railway
cars, stopping at refurbished CN
stations.
Now all we have to do is get
on board. 'Tire results of a coor-
dinated Tourism program will
increase the awareness of the
Region as a destination," says
Tourism Durham, "and that will
substantially increase the num-
ber of visitors."

Trustee leaves buyer high
and dry on Primrose sale
by Glenn Hendry
What is to be the fate of the
Primrose, the dredge dubbed a
"rusting hunk of an eyesore,"
moored at the foot of
'
Frenchman's Bay?
Pickering councillor Sherry
Senis (who coined the phrase),
several other councillors, and
:many local residents want the
'dredge removed from the bay:
ithe sooner, the better.
But don't hold your breath,
,says Ken Barfktrecht, the agent
for Toronto cruise ship owner
Mac Makarchuk, the only person
to make a legitimate offer for the
dredge.
Barfknecht says it doesn't
appear his client is going to end
up with the Primrose and fears
Port Pickering Marina owner
Jim McKean is going to get it
'back.
"It hasn't been cortfrmed yet
but Brian Jones (of the National
Bank, the principal secured
iexeditor in the bankruptcy) has
told me that we might as well
forget it," Bar&necbt says. "I

,colleagues on council and by
Price Wderbouse.
"This land transaction has
always depended on the barge
going," she claims. "But nothing
would surprise me on this deal"
Both the Town of Pickering
and a new player interested in
Jim McKean's Port Pickering
marina lards have said no to the
dredge's inclusion in any
purchase. There's actually a
clause in the town's bid that calls
for the removal of the Primrose.
But to remove the barge, you
have to sell it first, and the
trustee for McKean's estate (the
company went bankrupt last
year) hasn't, as yet, put the
Primrose on the selling block.
Dickerson says the trustee
likely wanted to simplify the
deal by keeping the barge in the
land package, but has "no
amuse" not to sell it now.
He admitted that the town
may have added to the confusion
themselves. Pickering original
offer of $1.25 million for the
lands, made earlier this year,
included an option to buy the
dredge. When the town made its
secomd
offer in April - this time
for $900,000 - the chatter. was
"inadvertently* left in the
contract.
'Neither buyer wants the
barge. I would hope, on the part
of the town, that the trustee
would make arrangements to get
the barge out of there. But
nobody can hold a goo to their
had on that cue."
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Artrurs also states he wants no
pact of the barge. "We want it
removed. It's not part of our
offer to peuchase."
Price Waterhouse Spokesman
Michael Psotka received the
offer ($46,6000) in April from
Makarchuk, who is eager to tow
the barge to Windsor to serve as
a hydro -foil launch.
But Makarchuk (a former
MPP and city councillor from
Brantford) was told by Psotka
May 23 that the Primrose is "not
currently available to be sold"
Barfknecht is "angry" over
the delay, but says his client is
still interested in buying the
Primrose.
"I figured this was a simple
deal. This is no good to anyone
else," he says. "I've blown
$5,000-$6,000 just getting this
little Mickey Mouse deal
through It's nuts."
Barfknecht did say
Makarchuk would be willing to
reopen the negotiations for the
dredge, but doubted whether the
offer of $46,600 (scrap value)
would be raised.
"That's the offer, $46,600. If
(Psotka) thinks that's not

much as $70,000 to tow the
Primrose to Window and another
half million dollars to fit it up.
The dredge, when renovated,
will save as a dopping paint for
high rollers from upscale St.
Clair Shores, Michigan, headed
for the Wmdsm Casino.
There's also only a limited
window of opportunity to
remove the barge. The high-
water period (the only time the
ship can be towed out of the
bay) ends in mid-July. After that
time, it won't be possible to

Rival bidder makes offer for Port Pickering Marina
by Glees Hendry deal with the town. contribute their share after a
The Town of Pickering now
has competition for the Port
Pickering Marina lands, with a
numbered company upping the
ante on the property with a $1.35
million bid, sources within the
negotiations say.
But the town, which last week
made its third offer for the 3.6
acre split lot, is considered to still
be the front runner for the
property, despite bidding
$200,000 less.

rival bid, says the developer has
attached certain conditions to his
offer - likely a re -zoning
requirement to allow houses -

Waterhouse) would "prefer" to

confirm the other bidder - "we're
still working on it" - but hinted
the deal could be finalized in "a
week or so."
The town's latest bid includes
$900,000 of taxpayer money (the
same offer made in April) and the

Happy Father's
may r
When we asked our young writer friends at Kidwriters
to tell us "What is it that makes your dad so special?" they
had no difficulty in answering that question. Their instant
responses appear on this week's Father's Day page.
In thinking about fathers - and the important role they
play in our lives - we can't help but be saddened by the
fact that far too many children these days simply don't
have one. We are told that every child needs a father fig-
ure. and a mother too. It's a fact that is also easily evi-
denced by the long waiting lists reported by both Big
Brothers and Big Sisters. (Have you considered becoming
one lately?)
Unhappily, too often children become victims during
divorce or separation as parents lose track of what should
be the priorities in their lives. Too many fathers walk out.
get pushed out, lose out, drift away. Too many single
mothers must look to Big Brothers for help.
On the other hand, however, today's young men who do
accept the duties of fatherhood are unlike any seen in past
generations. The warmth, joy and loving care that is now
so openly expressed was seldom exhibited by fathers of
the 1ast-
I.ast Saturday, we saw fathers, out in the rain. kids m
shoulders, enjoying parades in spite of the weather - just
as their fathers did before them. But, probably meet of
these young dads will have actively participated in the
birth of an infant, will have fed, walked the floor and
changed a baby for days and nights on end, and will even
make time available to play, teach and learn with a snail
child
Hopefully, this wonderful generation of patient, caring
dads that we are seeing today will be there. still providicig
that special kind of love that only a good dad can give, for
the many years of fatherhood still left for them to
encounter
In a world filled with violence, no-one can 511 the role
of protector better than a caring. loving fathm And only
one person in this world can outshine a great dad, and
that's a doting grandfather:
In the steady evolution of "mankind", we have seen
many changes. Most remarkably, the role of feared,
authoritarian, head of the house has gradually given way
to one of warmer, more affectionate, closer banding with
the family as a whole. The fathers of the past may have
loved us just as much, but today's lucky daddy is free to
express it.
You've come a long way Baby! Happy Father's Day!

Ecker tables Private Member's Resolution
Janet Ecker, M.P.P. for Durham West, has
tabled a Private Member's Resolution calling for
changes in the federal government's system of
tax credits to encourage individuals to make
charitable donations.
Ecker's resolution asks the Ontario govem-
ment to pursue discussions with its federal coun-
terpart, to explore the feasibility of increasing
charitable credits on donations of $200 or less, so
that they are equivalent to credits for political
donations.
Ecker reports that a donor currently receives a
$150 tax credit for a $200 political donation. But
the same amount contributed to a charity would
result in a credit of $52.34.
`This inequity needs to be addressed," said
Ecker. "Charitable organizations are a vital part
of Ontario's communities. Studies indicate that
increasing tax credits encourages people to give
more in support of these efforts."

him "dad", because he's not,
technically, but he's like a
dad to me. I don't see my real
dad much. Peter is special
because he's there for me
when my dad's not. Peter
loves me so much, that he
does the hard stuff. Like, tell
me off when I'm bad, or
something. Even if it doesn't
seem like it all the time, he's
doing it 'cause he loves me.
And I love him for that.
Caitlin Cousins -Milford,

My Daddy
My Daddy is a very special
person because he is kind and
gentle. Surprises always
seem to pop up when he is
around. He always settles
things fairly and he spends
equal time with my sister and
me. He is good at everything
(in my eyes) and, we always
have fun with him He loves
animals and spends as much
time as he can with my sister
and me. He joins me in the
things I do and offers me
advice (sometimes I don't lis-
ten) that helps me a lot (if I
listen to it.) I LOVE MY
DADDY!
Mallory Hendry, Age 10
What I like
about my Dad
Sometimes my dad and I
get into fights but that's okay
because every family goes
through things like that. My
dad's name is Ron. What I
like about my dad is that he is
fun to do things with. He
takes me to swimming class-
es on Saturday at 11:30. I'm
on my red badge. Last
Saturday, he let me go to the
new film, Flipper, starring
Elijah Wood as Sandy.
My dad does quite a lot for
me, and yet, I haven't done
anything good for him — like
saying thanks or anything
else like that. But when the
time is right in the future, I
will.
My dad is a really nice guy,
and I'm proud to have him as
my dad He's like a big kid -
except much older than me
and my older brother Jeff
who is eighteen, almost nine-
teen.
Thanks dad for every-
thing!!
Scott Bremner, Age 11
My Dad
is the best!
He is sweet,
And funny too!
He annoys me sometimes,
But that's okay, 'cause I don't
mind
He does things for me,
When I don't even ask!
I don't mean to brag,
But my dad beats the rest!
No other father could be bet-
ter,
Because my dad is the best!
Tanja Genova, Age 11

Act fast for condominium elegance at The Br
g Bakers
Break away from the ordinary at The Breakers II waterfront condo-
miniums in Ajax, with market -leading prices and industry-leading
designs.
But you'd better break away fast: there are only six units left
The final blowout sale of the units (most offer views of blue water,
green paddand and golden sunsets) features dramatic price reductions
on the condominiums.
Still available is the Docksider, a spectacular unit that is a definite
step up from the competition. Two -storeys, the 2,612 square -foot
Docksider boasts three bedrooms plus a family room. A western expo-
sure means Docksider buyers can enjoy breathtaking sunsets from a
spacious terrace. The unit, which includes two -and -a -half bathrooms,
was listed at $269,900 but is now selling for $239,900.
other models reduced in price include
the 1587 square -foot Clipper 11 (2 -bed-
room, large kitchen, stunning water view),
from $208,900 to $184,900; the 1,783
square -foot Clipper I (3 -bedroom, water -
view, huge balcony) from $201,900 to
$179,900 and the 1,562 square -foot
Commodore (2 -bedroom, bright caner
unit, eat -in kitchen, balcony) from
$159,900 to $139900.
Phyllis Shapiro, the sales and marketing
manager at The Breakers, says this will be
the final opportunity to get in on Ajax's
jewel by the water.
"1f you're looking for large suites with
fantastic water views - at unbelievable
prices - you must hurry. There are only six
units left and they're quickly disappear-
ing."
The Breakers I sold out in 1994 and The
Breakers H is continuing the trend of
waterfront elegance in Ajax.
Most of the available units in The
Breakers Il come with balconies, large ter-
races or solariums and the building itself is
chock-full of extra touches, like a design-
er -decorated elegant marble lobby and 24-
hour monitored camera surveillance with a
state-of-the-art security system.
Homebuyers can also take advantage of
the amenities at the complex, such as an
indoor swimming pool, patio surdeck,
whirlpool, his and bees saunas, change
rooms and showers, fuDy-equipped exer-
cise room, a bobby room, a reading area
and an elegant party roam. The cam pro-
ject is lakeside living at its finest, close to
downtown Ajax, 00 Tkaasit Mad Highway
401.
The pdoa include GST, five appli-
ances,

L BETTER HOMES & BUILDERS
The natural way i
better garden
The Earth Machine is one
of the newest composters on
the market. It's a neat con-
tainer that can help tum your
kitchen and yard wastes into
sweet-smelling natural fertil-
izer.
Once your unit is on level
ground with good drainage,
there are only three steps to
successful composting:
1) Make thin, alternating
layers of vegetable wastes and
soil. Shredding the wastes will
speed up the composting
process.
2) Keep the pile as moist as
a wrung -out sponge.
3) Tbm the pile with a shov-
el every couple weeks to intro-
duce air.
Use the following nitrogen
rich materials: fruit and veggie
scraps, coffee grounds, grass
clippings, plant trimmings, tea
bags, and crushed egg shells.
To these should be added
carbon rich materials such as
dry leaves, wood chips, saw-
dust, straw, and twigs.
Avoid using any animal
products or wastes, diseased
or insect -infected plants, stub-
bom weeds such as crab grass,
or weeds with mature seeds.
Nearly half of household
garbage is composed of food
or yard wastes. Composting it
saves fertilizer costs, slows
down landfill use, and will
make your neighbour envious
of your rich lawn and garden.

Elyse is n novice
For the first time in its
21 -year history, the
Pickering Aerials
Gymnastics Club finally
has a provincial champion.
Elyse Mihkelson recent-
ly captured the Ontario
crown in the Pre -Novice 1
division with a bronze
medal performance on
vault, fifths on beam and
floor, and sixth on bars. To
go along with her individ-
ual accolades, she also was
a part of the Metro East
team title winners.
Everyone at the club,
including her coaches
Kathy Anderson and Craig
Aigsmith, is thrilled.
Mihkelson is the first
provincial champion at the
club.
"We developed a pro-
gram a year ago with the
intention of having a
provincial champion," said
Pickering
The first year

Pythons" Mite Girls are off
to a roaring start. They
have won 4 out of 5 regular

over Sto 0viiie and 17-14
over Newmarket. They
suffered',their first loss
Anderson. "And Elyse is
the first."
Aerials' soft-spoken,
diminutive 10 -year-old
champion said she wasn't
nervous about performing
at that level with so much
at stake. Instead, the club's
first Ontario champ takes a
relatively calm approach to
every meet.
"On the vault I was a lit-
tle nervous," admitted
Mihkelson. "It could've
been better. And my beam
(routine) was a little wob-
bly."
Mone the less,
Mihkelson prevailed and
celebrated afterwards by
jumping into the hotel
pool.
. "What made Elyse win
that competition is that she
is consistent," said
Anderson. "Other kids,
you see anxiety in their
faces. You don't see that in
Elyse. She's very calm.
This is what carries her.
"And the one thing
Elyse has (over other com-
petitors) is power, strength
and flexibility."
One year ago, though,
no one could have ever
imagined the tiny gymnast
would even be competing
at the Provincial
Championships, never
mind winning the crown.
After having a setback
while doing gymnastics at
school, Mihkelson was
unable to perform even the
simplest routines. She was
mentally unable to perform
because of the accident
which left her fearful of
doing tumbling routines
and moving backwards.
"I remember when I
started tumbling again,"
smiles Mihkelson. "It took

Now that she has over-
come her adversity,
Mihkelson wants to win
more Ontario crowns.
"She had to work for it,"
said Anderson. "None of
what Elyse achieved came
easy for her. That's a sign
of a good athlete. And she
knows when to rise to the
occasion."
Mihkelson will rise to
another age group next
season. What division she
will jump to is still up in
the air.
"We will encourage
Elyse to go as far as she
wants to go," said
Anderson. "At this club we
have the children's best
interest at heart. Elyse has
incredible potential, fabu-
lous work ethic and the
most calm competitive
face I've ever seen on any
athlete.
"And she happens to be
a great kid. -

police officer, who simply wanted to
See ... Look -and sit -An the Hummer.
The two most frequently asked questions
were: "What is it?" To which I would reply, "A
Hummer." Then they would ask, "Who makes
it?" Again I would reply "HUMMER."
This is the ultimate 4X4 off-road vehicle. It
can climb 60 degree grades, traverse 40 degree
side slopes, float over impassible moguls and
muscle through deep sand, water or snow. The
Hummer is equipped with a 10,000 lb. winch to
get you out of the worst messes, and a 6.51 -
turbo diesel, so you can really hum down the
highway. And yes, it does hum or motor, with
190 horsepower and 385 Ib. of torque. (That's
as much torque as my race cat) I had it up to 85
mph and it still had a lot more in it. It actually
runs along pretty smoothly, all things consid-
ered. A neat feature is the onboard air compres-
sor Should you want to inflate or deflate your
front or rear tires, simply push a button inside
the vehicle. 'There is a gauge indicating what
the front and rear tiro pressures are at all times.
For all the comforts one would want, this
.Hummer has a CD stacker, AM/FM cassette
and A/C. But if you are still dating, or you like
to hold your mate's hand, it will be a little diffi-
cult. Sitting in the driver's seat and looking
across the way to the passenger side, it seems
that they are miles apart. It is a real stretch by
both persons to even touch. It is also a stretch to
get to the centre cup holders.
I think the Hummer is meant for a family.
The rear seats are equipped to hold two chil-
dri so they can sit up high and see everything
out the window. Four adults and two children
can sit very comfortably. If you have two kids,
they will never be able to fight in the back seats
as they will not be able to react each other.
It will take many miles before you run out of
gas. Firstly, a diesel gets great mileage; second-
ly, this Hummer has two tanks, and each tank
has a resent. Even though the vehicle sits high
(16 irndus of ground clearance), the centre of
gravity is extremely low, creating greaoer stab-
Ity. The "bed drive is f &0me and each
_wheel has indepatdemt wVeosion,
