I believe in Canada, with pride in her past, belief in her present and faith in her future. These sentiments — as beautiful as this country — are the opening vows in a pledge of loyalty to Canada from the citizenship court. But unlike the citizenship pledge, spoken by immigrants from all over the world who come here ebrate Canada for a better life, this pledge is offered by people who are already Canadian citizens. Many of us, especially those born in Canada, have never vowed allegiance to Canada. Many of us may also take the bounties and freedoms of this country for granted.

At a special ceremony on Sunday at Bayfair Baptist Church in Pickering, con- gregation members took advantage of the opportunity to declare their pride in being Canadian. The occasion was the swearing-in of Kenyan-bom Calisto Zuzarte and his Indian -born family; wife Elizabeth and sons Binoy Jason and Rajiv Christopher. For the Zuzartes, chis Canada Day weekend will be time to remember. "It will be our special day: it'll be our first with our citizenship." Other Canadians will get their chance to honor our nation this weekend, and they will enjoy it in many different ways. Some will simply use the extra day to head north, out of the grind of urban life; others will stay home and take in the smorgasbord of events — as varied as our landscape and as diverse as our people — happening in Ajax and Pickering. For some, it will be a day to hoist the Maple Leaf high for boisterous celebration. Others will spend it in quiet reflection of our national day. Happy Canada Day!

PICKERING COUNCIL Nuclear boss vows Pickering plant will be "flagship" of nuclear fleet by Glenn Hendry Pickering Nuclear Generating Station director Ken Talbot - all of four weeks into his new post - promised Pickering resi- dents the plant will one day become the "flagship of the nuclear fleet." Talbot, a vowed "people person" who says the plant is in "good hands," brushed off a recent Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) report claiming sloppy employee work habits and persistent breakdowns as "a little adverse publicity." "We will bring the plant up to world excellence, no doubt about that," Talbot told Pickering Council Monday night. "We're see- ing a significant turn - a r o u n d already." The litany of problems at the station identi- fied by the AECB included radioactive materials stored improperly, workers eating meals in hazardous areas, unautho- rized equipment calibra- tion that knocked out a nuclear shutdown system and a small fire started by a worker that wasn't report- ed. That's in addition to the numerous radiation leaks that have occurred in the past four years, problems that have alarmed local residents and forced the board to threat- en the plant with a shut- down. Talbot, in fact, has to show improve- ments to the board by August or risk not receiv- ing a license renewal when the current document expires this December. The affable Talbot, who cut his teeth at the plant from 1970 to 1988 before making his return to Pickering as director, promised to show the ener- gy board improvements in plant safety when he meets with AECB members in August, but added, "The total turnaround will take a little longer." Talbot also said he would help Pickering councillors set up a meet- ing with Ontario Hydro officials and Premier Mike Harris this September to discuss nuclear safety. �y�yltL� Nlev SA EON � s s SPECIAL $249.95 with rase & batteries AF ZOOM 1050 Now Available: The New Advanced Photo System r CUSTOM ONE HOUR PHOTO FINISHING 1 I 2ND SET FREE WITH COUPON I Guaranteed No Red Eye.

Did the Town of Pickering just make public the fact that a legal firm has been hired to collect that $517.000 that someone overpayed to Novacor'' Just how many lawyers does this town office need?. If memory serves, it's been about three years now since Noel Marshall left his job as Pick -ring's steadfast Town Manager. At the time, not willing in go to an outside consultant for guidance in how to replace Marshall, Council decided to leave it up to their two top men, Tim Sheffield (then Town Solicitors and Tom Quinn, to sort out just what should be done and who should be elevated to top position. Happening as it did, in the Rae years of social contracts and Bob Rae days, the shanks which followed set up so much rancor among staff mem- bers, it's a wonder so many good employees still remain at their jobs with the town today. Sheffield was elevated to Town ManagerlSolicitor, a new position (with higher salary) was created for Quinn; and average employees watched (their own salaries frozen by the Ontario Fvernmem) as three deputy directors were vaulted into Director scants, with salaries elevated accordingly - these being promotions, as opposed to raises. The mayor, on record as wanting to cut costs, claimed this new structure III be "leaner". By having the town solicitor do double duty, the town would save money. It was thought that Pickering might even do what Ajax and many other municipalities do: hue outside legal counsel only as the need occurs. But it wasn't bag before Sheffield was overwhelmed. Unabk to handle the double workload, and forgamg any thought of using a local outside law firm, he sec about hiring a replacement for his old position.

The bingo hall, proposed by Top Rank Bingo at Bridgepoint Centre (formerly known as the Furniture Mall) in the Dixie/Kingston Road area, was approved by town council last August. But the Liverpool West Community Association appealed the decision to the OMB the next month, citing incompatibilities with the neighborhood. "In planning terms, (a bingo hall) would sterilize the uses in the area," says LWCA represen- tative Carol Bamford. "Bingo is traditionally in industrial areas, with high traffic. It's single -use with no spin-off. And it will drive away the types of uses we want to attract." The hearings, tinged with controversy because of ques- tions as to who is funding the appeal, got under way last Tuesday and wrapped up Friday. Bamford said she and her husband Craig are funding the appeal, which is expected to cost at least $10,000. But Victor Lind, a planning consultant retained by property owner Fenix Holdings, is curi- ous about the source of the Bamford's funds after a cheque issued to him (for his subpoe- na) from LWCA lawyer Adam Brown carried a receipt stub with the name Bingo Country. The name of the local bingo chain, a rival of Top Rank, also appeared last year on the cheque issued to the Town of Pickering, after Brown paid the $125 fee to initiate the OMB hearing. Brown, who admitted he has represented Bingo Country in the past, said the fust error was simply an "inadvertent" mis- take by a member of his staff. The second cheque, he told the hearing last week, originated from a computer program in his North York office labeled "Bingo Country." Brown said he can't change the name of the computer file. "I think it's embarrassing for them, if it is an honest mis- take," Lind said. "But you have to draw your own conclusions. "7t was a little bit of levity into an otherwise dry hearing." A decision on the LWCA appeal is expected sometime next month. Charity bill approved at `. ' � Queen's Park Durham West MPP Janet Ecker received the go-ahead for an initiative to encourage ..public support of charitable iorganizatims as her private member's resolution passed in the Ontario Legislature June x0. With the adoption of the res- olution, Queen's Park has agreed the provinceshould enter into negotiations with Ottawa to increase charitable tax credits on small donations so that they are equivalent to credits for political contribu- tions. Ecker said the resolution addresses an inequity in tax credits for donations order $200 whereby political aedits we $150 and charitable cmdits are $5334. _ She added that the pwvince must negotiate with Ottawa because charitable in credits are under federal jurisdiction. The authority for political donations is split depending on whether the cmtribudm is for a provincial oc national party. "I am pleased that this nw. lution passed and I thank members on both sides of the house for their support," she said. "Abe government recog- nizes the trmendous coom'btt- tim charities make towards. the betterment of comm mi- bes" she added, "I must ileo thank the Canadian Centre for Philanhropy for all the wait they have done to bring dis issue to the attention of gov- ernments.

The Pickering company, w recently awarded a certificate to store and process waste at its Squires Beach Road facility, was one of three firms chosen to handle the region's residential garbage after Brock West closes December 1. Durham Materials will be handling more than just Pickering and Ajax's garbage, however, which flies in the face of their condition of approval from Pickering council. But regional councillor Maurice Brenner says he's "comfortable" with the region's decision, noting the additional waste processed at the site will be "minimal." "It falls within the spirit of (Pickering) council's position. Not to the letter, but to the spirit," he says. "Had they gone and divided everything into two, I would have been totally against it." Durham Materials will f irm wins regional garbage contract take garbage from Pickering (19,000 tonnes annually), Ajax (19,400 tonnes), Uxbridge (3,600 tonnes) and from three public drop-off sites in Oshawa, Blackstock and Port Perry (12,700 tonnes); for a total of 54,700 tonnes. Pebblestone Multi - Services, already contracted to take Whitby's garbage, will now handle Oshawa's and Scugog's waste as well, for a total of 55,100 tonnes annually. Meanwhile, the region is negotiating with Laidlaw Waste Systems to handle residential waste generated from Clarington. Courtice Auto Wreckers was also trying to land a regional contract but the company was rejected because it couldn't satisfy all the requirements in time. Garbage from the three companies will be trucked to Keele Valley landfill site in Vaughan, pending Metro approval, at a cost not to exceed $45 per tonne. The contract will cost the region approximately $9.4 million, a big jump from the $6 million annual cost to ship landfill to Brock West. Oshawa councillor John Aker, the chairman of the works committee, said the cost impact to taxpayers will be "softened" by taking a bite out of Durham's $17 million waste reserve fund. Metro will tell Durham next week whether or not they will accept regional garbage. If the answer is no, Aker says, Durham will have to find a willing private host. Brock Township, which has its own landfill site, was not part of the region's negotiations. Durham Materials' John Oshawa power takes a hit at region by Glenn Hendry Regional council took a bite out of Oshawa's power base last week although an eleventh -hour amendment kept the damage to a minimum. Durham's only city will lose three merinbers, effective December 1, 1997, from its current 11 -member Contingent. The recommendation from the restructuring committee — mandated last fall to slash the size of council by a quarter — was to lop five Oshawa councillors off the regional payroll. The municipality of Clatington will also lose one member (from their current fan), while the number of representatives from the other municipalities in Durham remain unchanged. The vote came at the end of a nine -hon marathon session, the longest regional council meeting in recent memory. The committee's original recomntexndatiat — unanimously rejected at Oshawa council — naturally didn't go over well with councillors from the motor city and Brian Nicholson (who had threatened to take the issue to the Ontario Municipal Board) got the regional debate going by suggesting Oshawa recover two members off the hit list. He also ecommended Ajax be given an extra seat (Ajax Mayor Steve ?arish said no thanks); the three northern communities Brock, Uxbridge and Scugog) have their numbers slashed iom three (plus the mayors) to one; and that the regional :hair be elected _. . "We accept that we have io give up seats, but that's too retch," Nicholson said. "We each have to give up a little." His first proposal was eventually accepted, but the other wo requests were rejected :;The committee's recommendation would have saved egional taxpayers more than $100,000 in salary. The amended motion will still save about $60.000. Parish. who supported returning the two councillors to khawa. said he understood why city politicians were upset y the restructuring committee's recommendation. "Oshawa was taking almost the entire hit. That's not ppropriate-" The final vote was 22-7, with one Oshawa councillor ,obert Lutczyk - as well as restructuring committee chairman arry Hannah of ©atingtaa voting against the package.

Grayson says he's "satisfied" his firm is now a partner with the region, noting a delay in making the decision (Oshawa councillor Brian Nicholson failed in an attempt to defer the motion to July 3) would have been costly. "Regardless of all the other issues on the table, council faced the most critical one - timing. Now we can be up and running in August." Durham Materials' certificate of approval from the environment ministry allows for a maximum of 93,000 annual tonnes of garbage. The balance will be filled by industrial, commercial and institutional waste, Grayson says.

As part of the deal - and the project still has to clear site plan hurdles this fall - Pickering Harbor Company will give 2.4 acres of wetlands (south of the development) to the town for public use. Wylie Freeman, a consul- tant hired by the harbor company, said a walkway will be built from Bayly Street to the wetlands, a path that could be linked up with a waterfront trail sys- tem envisioned by both the town and the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The project received mixed reviews from public speakers at Monday's coun- cil meeting, although most gave at least tentative sup- port for the proposal. Dave Steele, the chairman of Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the environ- ment and a member of an ad-hoc committee struck to study the impact of the pro- posal, gave his conditional okay, but noted some con- cerns about the effect on the environment. Don Speller, an environ- mental scientist working for Pickering Harbor Company, said in his address to coun- hurdle cil that the development will not create any loss to either wetlands or bird habitat.An existing vehicle access route to the bay will also be elim- inated, he added The ad-hoc committee will continue to meet until the final site plan - complete with details on building design, landscaping and ser- vicing - is brought back to council, likely in September.

From July 1-15, the Canadian Olympic Boxing Team will train at the Ajax Community Centre prior to heading to Atlanta to repre- sent their country. "With Ontario having a lot of boxers on the Canadian team, we wanted to have the training camp in Ontario," said Ajax Boxing Club administrator Preston Roberts who won the bid over Montreal. "They (Canadian Olympic Boxing Federation) took us up on our offer. And we're all thrilled. "One of the reasons we said we would help out is because of Nick Farrell. That was our alterative motive to give him support." Farrell, an Ajax boxer who will represent Canada in Atlanta, will be part of the team training at the commu- nity centre. They're (the Ajax Boxing Club) a pretty proud bunch because of Nikki," said Roberts. Roberts says everyone at the club is excited about hosting the event and are frantically getting everything prepared for the big event. "This is the first time we've hosted something like this," said Preston. "Our job is to ensure the facilities are in place to train, provide lodging and get equipment set up. This will let people know what boxing is all about." Tim tr" Owft T1110E BOWLED AND THE BEAUI'UM: Brian R4Wwai of the Ajax Cricket Club bowls to a member of Clarke'a Cavalim from Barbados. Ajax lost Thursday's match 185-120 ems. While the Olympic boxers are in town, the Ajax Boxing Club will host a card of their own on July 9 and hope to have the Olympic team in attendance, making them accessible to the public for autographs and photo oppor- tunities. "We're going to try to get an opportunity for people to come in and watch (them train)," said Preston. "But we have to be careful not to have too many people in there interfering with the training." Farrell will garner a lot of the attention from the local fans and is scheduled to be honoured at Ajax City Council while the team is in town. But Chic Presley, chief fundraiser for Farrell, appre- ciates the gesture by Council but would like to see more organizations step forward by financially helping out the young athlete. "I'm very disappointed," said Presley of the lack of financial support to The Nick Farrell Olympic Trust Fund. "We don't need someone to officially welcome him. If they had a cheque in their hand we'd be more pleased." Presley had hoped to raise $10,000 for Farrell to cover his travelling costs and expenses. But so far, they are way off their target goal. With $1,135 in the account thus far, Presley is hoping Farrell's appearance will ;generate more interest within the community.

Ask most anglers what they think of carp and the reply will be summed up by reversing the two middle letters in the name "carp." Native to Europe and Asia, this giant member of the minnow family was brought to North America by the United States to help overcome wide spread famine in the post US Civil War 1870s. By 1880, the Canadian government had introduced carp into our waters. Carp spawn in the spring and within weeks, the water teems with newly hatched carp fry which can grow to over 50 lbs. Carp demon- strate the ultimate in adapt- ability, surviving in water so warm or polluted that it would gag a slime bug. Not dainty feeders, carps' mouths function as a vacu- •ff about um, sucking up bottom sed- iment, spitting mud while retaining worms, snails, insect larvae and fish eggs. Where can you catch carp? Anywhere and everywhere. Locally, Frenchman's Bay and the waters off the Pickering nuclear plant host hundreds of huge carp and my per- sonal best was caught there on a twister jig. It took 45 minutes to land and weighed over 35 pounds! -For bait, use worms, bread, canned com kernels or cheese. "Chum" the area where you're fishing to keep carp m the area. Carp are wary and will drop a bait immediately if any resistance is felt, so use a slip sinker and hook sizes from 10 up to a6. I've never eaten carp, but you can try the following recipe: . Place fillets on a cedar plank and baste with butter. Season, place a slice of Spanish onion on fillets and bake for 45 minutes at 325 degrees, basting with butter until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven, throw away the carp and eat the plank!

In fact, the typical car or light truck has been accumulating miles for more than eight years and has well over 80,000 kms on the odometer. If one of your own cars falls in that category, what can you do to keep it on the road longer? Just follow these tips to help it purr for miles to come: - Replace the air filters every year if you live in an urban environment and SUMMER SIZZLER 1996 LTIMA GXE 150 Horsepower • Automatic • Air Conditioning • Power Windows- Power indows Power Locks • AM/FM Stereo Cassette 9 9800 PER MO.

Skip these repairs and you may sacrifice fuel economy and performance, and run the risk of tainted emis- sions. Replace hoses when they start to feel hard — probably every five or six years. Check the battery, starter and alternator. The average life of a battery is two years. The starter and alternator should last longer, but wear down with each turnover. - Check your brake pads. They will need to be replaced more often if you tend to drive in stop -and -go situations. Rotate your tires every 10,000 kms and align them when they begin to wobble or drift. - And, most importantly, find the right oil for your vehicle — and then change it at least every 5,000 kms. Oil is a car's lifeblood. If it's not of the highest quali- ty, the rest of the vehicle suffers. New engines work clean- ly and without friction, but as they mature, deposits nat- urally build up. The oil's function is to dislodge and catch those particles before they cause scraping in the bearings, cylinders and hun- dreds of other moving parts. Oil affects fuel consump- tion, component wear and, ultimately, the life of the vehicle. While most of the oils on today's market work pretty well for older cars, semi- synthetic lubricants give older cars the TLC they especially need making for smoother start-ups, thereby decreasing wear on the starter mechanism.

Keeping your cool this summer If you can keep your cool when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on their radiators ... (with apologies to Rudyard Kipling). Every year, you see the same sight — the steaming radia- tor, the no less steaming driver, the disabled car — and it's so unnecessary. How does your cooling system work? Coolant circulates through the engine, picking up engine heat, and back through the radia- ta, where it cools. It's that sim- ple. The components of the sys- tem are: 1. Radiator. A core, or tube, is surrounded by fins of light metal. The more surface area these fins expose to the air, the more heat they can reject. 2. Water Pump: Running off a belt connected to the engine, the water pump faces the coolant to circulate. Keep an eye on the belt to make sure it's not worn or cracked. 3. Hoses: The hose running from the bottom of your radiator takes coolant into the engine block. the hose at the top returns hot coolant to the radiator to be cooled. There are also hoses run- ning to the back of the engine compartment — these are for the heater in your car. 4. Thermostat: The thermostat is in the return (top) hose. It clos- es when cold, to reduce coolant circulation and help your engine warm up as fast as possible. Then it opens to maintain a constant engine temperature by regulating the flow of coolant. 5. Fan: The fan behind the radi- ator doesn't blow — it sucks. It draws air through the radiata to increase the cooling effect at low speeds. At highway speeds, it usu- ally isn't needed as the ram air from driving is ample to keep cool. These fans operate off a thermostat so they are not using engine power all the time. 6. Pressure Cap: Cooling sys- tems are pressurized to raise the boiling point. This pressure depends on the pressure cap on the radiator (sometimes on the overflow reservoir). 7. Overflow reservoir- Most cars have a translucent plastic container which contains coolant. This allows you to check the level without opening the radiator. 8. Coolant: We talk about water cooled engines and water pumps, but the coolant of choice is actual- ly a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and water. Water alone would cool the engine, but it would also lead to corrosion. The coolant cools the engine efficiently, resists freezing in winter, resists boiling in summer, lubricates the water pump, and inhibits corro- sion. If 50% coolant is good, then 709'' coolant must be better, right? Maybe. But straight coolant will turn to slush at -220C — it per- forms better when it's diluted. Check out the table below: Recommended Coolant Concentration Freezes At: Boils At: Minimum — 50% antifreeze, 50% water -37°C (-34°F) 129°C (265°F) Maximum — 70% antifreeze, 30% water 64°C (-84°F) 135°C (276°F) So how do you avoid being one of those people boiling and seething by the roadside? Car Care Canada has some quick tips for keeping your cool. I. Keep your coolant level topped up (but not too full) and your coolant at the right concen- tration. It's easy to check the level by loolang at the translucent over- flow reservoir. One thing you should never do is open the pres- sure cap on a hot engine — the hot coolant will spray out and could cause severe scalding. 2. Check your hoses once a month for soft spots, cracks and loose clamps — when the engine is cool. Hoses should be firm, not spongy. Check for cracks by run- ning your fingers lightly along the hose and feeling for snags. 3. If you replace a clamp or a hose, tighten the clamp a few weeks afterwards — it will ease a little at fast with the engine vibra- tion. 4. When you wash your car, take a moment to wash bugs and leaves off the radiator. Be careful not to crush or bend the light metal fins. 5. Flush your cooling system and replace the coolant at least every two years, or as specified in your owner's manual. 6. Use only top quality coolant products that meet the ASTM D- 3306 (spark ignition engines) or D-4985 (diesel) standard. Be cau- tious about all-purpose or long life products — your engine is too expensive to take risks for the sake of a few dollars. Don't get exhausted You're driving along in that economical little car, and it sounds like a fleet of gravel trucks. But it doesn't have to be that way. According to Car Care Canada, the main cause of falling mufflers is simply a broken clamp. These can usu- ally be replaced for what amounts to small change, com- pared to the cost of a new exhaust system. One warning sign is a clunk- ing noise when you start to drive away. Just as you start to roll, you'll hear a series of clunks -- you probably need a clamp tightened or replaced. That sound is the exhau sys- tem bounding against the underside of your car, and it's a good idea to get it fixed before something breaks oit Every time you have your oil changed, make sure the technician checks the exhaust system too. It only takes a few seconds to give it a quick look and a wiggle to make sure everything is firm and tight. Have you ever seen a car driving along the highway trailing a stream of sparks? It. looks (and sounds) like the rocket ship from an old Buck Rogers TV show, but it's no Joke. If there is any leak in the gas tank. those sparks could make things really interesting for the driver and for other people nearby. Even if thele is no leak, there's a chance that the pipe could catch something and tum it into a spear, des- troying the gas tank or parts of the suspension. Of course, most problems are less dramatic. Often, it's a mere pinhole in the system. This, too, can be a danger as carbon monoxide - colourless, odourtess and potentially fatal - can leak into the passenger comparmbem Exhaust system manu- facturers have made a lot of progress, using more stainksa steel (which is corrosion resis- tant) and more integrated sys- tems (so there are fewer pants to separate or break off) to eliminate this problem as much as possible, but cor- rosion is still a possibility. One of the things that dd- vers can do to prolong the Iiife of their exhaust system is to reduce the number of short trips they tape If you have several things to do, save them up and make one longer errand out of several smaller ones. That way, your car (and your exhaust system) will warm up, saving fuel, reducing tail pipe emissions and eliminating the water in your exhaust that tends to cause corrosion from the inside out. What's in an exhaust sys- tem, anyway? It includes a muffler, which feeds the engine noise through a series of baffles to make it quieter, a catalytic converter, which reduces the tail pipe emission& and piping that connects these elements to the engine. Some systems also contain a res- onator, so your car sounds more like a mean muscle machine and less like a sewing machine. Catalytic converters do wear out. Sometimes, they can be destroyed -- for example, long periods of idling may "cook the catalyst" because the temperature in the exhaust will rise without any compensating airflow to cool things off. So, if you want to avoid a rumble, take good care of your exhaust system Like so many other things, taking a little time to check can help you avoid big troubles and big expenses.
