The same can't be said for the members of Pickering Council or Heritage Pickering in the case of the historic CampbeIUMcPherson house. The 151 year-old house, home to several promi- nent local citizens of by -gone times and a big piece of Pickering's history, is now just in pieces. The work to tear down the home began last Friday and is expected to be completed this week. leaving only memories and vague promises that the home will be rebuilt on another site in the future. Neglected for 20 years while keeping a lonely vigil in a corner of Lynn Heights Park - its last ten- ant was the late Jean McPherson, a former deputy reeve of Pickering - the house has been left to dete- riorate, especially since the town took over owner- ship in 1984. When its time came - a backhoe had stood poised in front of the home for days, waiting for the demolition permit like a predator waiting for the right moment to pounce - the evidence of that neglect was only too apparent. Windows were smashed, the front stoop was crumbling, chunks of some of the stonework was missing and the roof was in disrepair. Even the man in charge of the home's destruction was cognizant of history crumbling away. Ray Winterstein, contracted to dismantle the house (while taking care to preserve the corner stones, lintel stones, and as much of the feature stonework as possible) says the job is far from his SCENAM" OR JsRge Z . ........................i wCOVER • home either a shame t b e built sometime in the next e Pickering historyMcPhersoncrumbles as 40 a V demolished. - Ray Winterstein "I don't house falls to wreckers the side of council and rent lineup of Pickering council's decision but in perennial figure at council councillors, and those of fairness, there was plenty of meetings, stormed out of previous councils stretching time to come up with last week's meeting, claim - back more than 20 years, i *From cover page "It's a shame." site plan when they built the councillor Sherry Senis, preservation.

AJAX PHONE (905) 427-5064 AJAX NEWS Ajax celebrates- as town reclaims waterfront By John C00W o A decade after the process began, the vision of former Ajax Mayor Bill McLean to acquire a 10 -acre piece of property, giving the town ownership of an 8.7 -kilometre stretch of waterfront, was fulfilled in a June 16 announcement by Mayor Steve Parish. The deal involved a $350,000 purchase with money from the town's reserve fund and a property swap between the town, developer The Hi -Rise Group and a private - sector youth facility. Council formally signed the deal at its June 17 meeting and the town oficWly takes over the land July 30. Parish lauded the efforts of all involved, including Ajax Chief Administrative Officer Barry Malmsten, Waterfront Regeneration Trust Commissioner David Crombie and Durham West MPP Janet Ecker. The late Bill McLean, mayor of Ajax in the mid -80's when discussions began, was also given special praise by seven] councillors for "starting the process." Parish said the deal, giving Ajax the longest publicly -owned stretch of waterfront in the Greater Toronto Area, is an apt legacy for future town councils. The land will be incorporated into the Ajax Waterfront and Waterfront Trail system. "It has always been a priority of Past councils to acquire this property," said Parish. "It really started in earnest after the last election." The Hi -Rise Group's original Plans for the cm mercial/residential property, at the foot of Harwood Avenue, included 91 townhouse units. When council insisted that the developers include a marina discussion stalled. Hi -Rise took its case to the Ontario Municipal Board, which sided with the town. To break the impasse, the town proposed an exchange of lands involving Hi -Rise and Scarborough - based youth service agency Kennedy House Youth Services Inc, which currently operates a facility for young offenders on Ravencroft THANK YOU to the following people who nude the Ajax Home Week Auction a major success. *To the sponsors Picocte Insulation, Dickson Printing, KX96 Radio, MDK Electric, Ajax Legion Branch 322, For Signs & Displays of the Times and Rogers Community 10 TV. *To the gift donors: Picocre Plastics Shopper Drug Marc/Ajax Harwood Mall MocoPtwco Ajax Library McDonalds/Ajax For Signs & Displays of the Times MDK Electric Simply Italian Restaurant KX96FM Radio Myrna Picone Joe Dickson Needful Things Pet Paradise Wal-Mart Nail Classique Swiss Chalet Dickson Printing Picone Insulation Ballyclifre Retirement Lodge Laura Secotd Lewisctah Western Ranch David Ctombie Rogers Cable ;0 Town of Aja -Parks R Rec Future Shop Mike's Auto service Subway Sandwiches a Salads Zellers Rogers Community 10 Video Store All Glass at Mirror $city Downie Pine Ridge Insurance Green Thumb Florist Royal Scat Tavern Lon Harnis /Midland Walwyn Galbraith: Jewellers Cross Country Donuts - Aja Bonnieview Inn Resort Kean= Optical Dytech Chair Co.

Is it any wonder that over eighty per cent of the general population will experience foot probkmc at some time in their Jives. And there is no other segment of the health profession who sees and treats more foot problems than a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. A podiatrist is concerned with the examination, diagnosis, and prevention of foot disorders. Most enter a podiatric college with a Bachelor of Science degree and graduate four years later with a degree of "Doctor of Podiatric Medicine" (D.P.M.) Many physicians and other health care professionals refer their patients to a podiatrist for foot care, although a referral is not necessary. In general a podiatrist will treat corns, calluses, infections, Athlete's Foot, skin conditions, warts, ingtowtt trails, arch and gaa problems of the average person or those who are sports minded.

Brenner threatens school building coup The Durham Boardof Education's decision to shut down some schools early next September has community groups angry and Pickering councillor Maurice Brenner threatening a hostile takeover. The board, faced with a $4 million cut in their plant and maintenance budget next year, has axed custodial overtime at 27 schools, a $400,000 savings. The hardest hit will be Rosebank Public School, which will have its doors locked at 4:30 p.m. That decision has shut out community groups Ike brownies and cub scouts, who were out in full force at Pickering Council Monday night. Bill Trapper, a Rouge Hill Beaver Colony leader, said the early closure will leave his group, which has been meeting at the school for more than 20 years, without a home. "Let's not destroy a community's future or its traditions just to save a few bucks." Fiona Bain -Greenwood, the president of Rosebank Public School Parents Association, noted that the early closure will also shut down her group, which meets in the evenings. Brenner, who called the decision "draconian," warned the board to "back off' on their ruling or face a "takeover" by the ministry of education. "The ministry is looking at cost -culling ;uch as transferring capital buildings to municipalities. Maybe this would make a great pilot project," he said. "Exclusion of public groups horn publically-owned buildings will not be tolerated." Audrey MacLean, the school board chair, is wondering what all the fuss is about, however. She said she hasn't received any calls about the decision and wondered why the community didn't come directly to the board with their concerns. "I'd be happy to meet with them. My door is always open," she said. (Pickering) council has no jurisdiction or authority." Protocol for inclusion on the school board agenda requires an appearance at the standing Pickering sues Novacor by Glu lgendry so they have to rmisb the work.

And all is history rf there is anyone out there who still believes that Pickering is not in seri- ous trodble, we hope you will take time to digest the importance of this week's corer story. The Campbell -!McPherson house is gone. Regardless of its historical significance, the decision to demolish this once -beautiful home was senseless. Elegant to the end, it was a home most people would be proud to own and pre for. But this house also happened to be one of the towns oldest and rarest. Buil around 1845 and home to at least two important personages who are remembered for what they gave to this area in the past, it was also one of the few stone farmhouses of its type still remaining in this pan of southern Ontario. In the minds of many, the loss of this particular home will be seen as solid evidence of all that is sick and sorry about the Town of Pickering as it is today. Calling it a 'removal.' numbering the stones and storing than, along with comer and lintel stoma somewhere up in Clammotx, in no way guaran- tees restoration. The history is gone in any case. This was nothing more than demolition made fancy, so as to appear that someone —anyone — really cared. The decision -makers in the Town, grossly negligent in caring for this priceless piece of our heritage land it did belong to the taxpayers), first allowed the building to rot and then decided they waned it gone; the neigh- bours, distraught by its condition, quite mammy played 'into this when they requested that it be moved. But who destroys anything of such value when, dor the same f 15.000 a tenant could be installed who would live in and fa up the place?

Durham was one of 20 municipalities selected last week to be guinea pigs for the provincial government's contro- versial workfare program, which will begin in September. The program will face some welfare recipients to perform community work for their pay cheques, with full implementation across Ontario by 1998. Community and Social Services minister Dave Tsubouchi said the program moves social assistance "from a hand-out to a hand -up" system. "This program is dedicated to helping people break the cycle of dependency." Welfare recipients will also gain skills, self-confidence, contacts to assist them in fading a job and the "opportunity to give something back to the com- munity." Tsubouchi added. Durham voted 24-5 last month in favor of participating in Workfare. "so we can do it our way," noted Oshawa councillor Pauline Beale. The program came under fire at the region from some councillors for its "boot camp" connotations, including Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, who said he has "serious concerns," and Whitby Mayor Tom Edwards, who claims workfare will not be successful. Workfare has also been publically blasted by labor groups, with several vowing to pull funding from the local United Way if the charitable organization participates in the program. Work -for Welfare will cost Durham about $300,000 (Queen's Park pays 80 per cent) and will initially serve 1,800 of the 6,000 eligible residents. Seniors and people with disabilities will be exempt and as the program expands, single parents (except those with small children) will have to participate. The program still requires ratification by regional council, which isn't expected until after the summer recess. suited for the client; Internet research for information to heighten business perfor- mance; and training in inte- grating a web site with a com- pany's marketing objectives.

Beginning at 8 am., they will spend the day helping to clean up garbage and litter along the Don River. The day will include picnic refreshments starting at 11 am., the opportunity to walk the site and the invitation to plant wildflowers. But this will not just be a day outdoors. For those who choose to come, it will be an opportunity to participate in Charles Sauriol's dream - a dream to return Milne Hollow to the urban wilderness it was in the days of his youth. Charles Sauriol was 92 when he died peacefully, at his typewriter, while working on what would be his last book. He had spent a life- time pursuing the conservation of natur- al lands all across Canada, having been instrumental in bringing thousands of S acres of resource lands under the stew- ardship of responsible conservation agencies. In 1993, The Charles Sauriol Environmental Land Trust Fund was cre- ated to assure the continuance and per- petuation of the work he had begun. On meeting the man, one would instantly be taken in by his charm; his tense of showmanship. Within moments 'he would have the listener sold on help- ing to restore The Don to its former glory — Milne Hollow became his final target. Of all the property along the Don, this was the area which Charles most wanted to see purchased and conserved for the use of all Toronto and area citizens. His dream was that Milne Hollow would one day become the "trail head" or entrance to the Charles Sauriol Conservation Reserve, an "urban wilderness" that stretches from Lawrence Avenue East to the forks of the Don River — a hike of some three hours through forests of very old trees and fields of wildflowers. Before he died last December, Charles Sauriol made a commitment to The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto to raise $250,000 of the Milne r Hollow purchase price from the private sector, both businesses and individuals. In a short period, this Pied Piper of The Don was able to secure about $50,000 of his pledge. The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto is now committed to seeing that Charles' dream is realized and that the remaining $200,000 is raised.

NM glom 403 N 11 Ever wonder how automotive manufactur- ers come up with the dif- ferent colours for this year's cars? Bet you would never guess the fashion industry. Engineers say that, when purchasing a vehi- cle, more than 505c of the decision is based on the colour. Numerous colour Telly Macl design engineers search, autof sometimes four years in advance, for new colours they can offer manu- facturers. PPG Industries is one of three OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) that pro- vide paint, not only to the domestic auto makers, but also foreign manufacturers. The other two companies are BASF and DuPONT. These paint companies mix up approximately 70 different colours to offer auto manufacturers each year, in a colour show that goes on the road to various automotive engineering groups for their approval. Most manufac- turers have 18 to 20 colours in use dur- ing the model year. When a new colour appeals to a new vehicle launch, they add it. Normolly, three to ten existing colours get replaced each year, black and white are standards inald-Cadieux that never leave the ive reporter list. Picking a colour, Jan Harrington of Troy. Michigan says, is all marketing. They look at the target market of the vehicles. Age influences colour more than sex does. The size of the vehicle also influences the colour. For example, bright colours fit smaller cars, while large luxury vehicles will have tradi- tional white, silver or gray. A car targeted at females or young drivers will use vibrant colours. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on colour development each year. When a colour i; chosen, it is tested in Florida and Arizona for a year, to see if it can withstand the sun. PPG also tests various colours through the Pace Car Program. At IndyCar events, many vibrant coloured, high performance vehicles drive around the track. This marketing program acts as a market colour test: if a paint colour gets a lot of compliments, the manufacturer may pick that colour for its new line-up. Other paint manufac- turers conduct focus groups, asking questions regarding different paint colours and schemes. Much to everyone's surprise, Honda intro- duced fight green to the marketplace in 1990. Normally, a colour is only good for two to three years, but light green has been getting stronger and stronger each year. Now, almost every manu- facturer has light green in the line-up. A recent survey of North American vehicles found the family of greens to be among the top sellers for *continued on page 17 �`A1 viL� A/C SERVICE FRONT BRAKES REAR BRAKES /.

Now, almost every manufacturer has light green in the line-up. A recent sur- vey of North American vehi- cles found the family of greens to be among the top sellers for mid-size and sport/utility vehicles. Red was the number one seller for compacts, sports cars and trucks; while white scored highest for luxury and full- size vehicles. A vehicle endures many applications to keep the paint :from peeling, fading or chip- ping. At the stamping plant, body parts are zinc coated or two-sided galvanized, to pro- vide extra protection against corrosion. The body parts then get phosphate cleaned and the pieces are welded together, to shape the vehi- cle's body (also called its tub). The tub is immersed into a large tank of primer, giving the body a negative charge. GM calls this primer ELPO (Electric Deposition of Olymers); Ford calls the rI process E coating; Chrysler calls it Electric Coating. To prevent chipping, the body receives a primer ser- vice. Because paint carries positive atoms, and the primer gives the body a neg- ative charge, the paint will adhere to the Name. Primer for passenger cars is colour specific, meaning there are ten colours of primer and ten matching paint colours. Trucks differ, using one of four primer colours. The base coat is then ap- plied. At GM, a water base system is used, in which the body goes through an oven where it boils off any excess water. A dry coat is applied, followed by the clear coat, creating the shiny look. The vehicle is baked for 30 min- utes at 250 to 280 degrees. If you're involved in an accident, the body shop will be able to match the paint to a "T," because paint compa- nies supply the colour formu- las for perfect matching.

For every litre of gasoline that your car bums, it needs tip to 9,000 litres of air. And if your air filter gets clogged with dust and grit, your car will begin to get that asth- matic feeling -- it just cant get enough air. Air filters are housed in a box, usually at the front of the engine, which you can open by unfastening a few screws or wing nuts. Pull out the air filter and hold it up to the fight. An engine that bums "too rich" (Le., too much fuel and too little air) will develop some very expansive prod` lems down the road. 7bere are other filters in your engine, too. Mm is a gas filter to catch any impuri- ties in the fuel or any mxU- mentation that develop:. 71we's a PCV or Positive Crankcase Ventilation filter which keeps dirt out of the crankcase. And there's the oil filter to keep your oil clean. All need regular mainte- nance. .With regular maintenance, your car will run better, smoother and longer: And what you spt:nd on filtem you'll save in gasoline.
