Post Brock West world begins November 1 on Squires Beach -from cover Concerns linger, however, with fears being expressed to local politicians coming from neighboring Ajax, as well as Pickering. Is it happening all over again? But Jon Grayson, Durham Material's co-owner, wants to assure residents from both sides of the border there's nothing to worry about. His company, in win - the contract from Durham Region, had to go through more hoops than a troupe of trained seals, he points out. "We went after this from the bottom up to ensure everyone had their say. We're playing this by the book." 'By the book' means adhering - `< to regulations for noise, hours of operation, volume and odor from Pickering, Durham, and the Ministry of Energy and Environment (MOEE), he says. "We had to go through a very long and involved process (and) we'll do everything in our power to make sure there are no off-site inconveniences. "It's simply good business to be good neighbors." While Pickering -based environmental groups, such as Pickering -Ajax Citizens Together for the environ- ment, monitored the approval process, most of the fears regarding odor and noise are coming from the other side of Church Street. Ajax councillor Joe Atkinson explains that south Ajax residents are especially worried about potential odor problems because they've been burned before. Paint and soap smells emanating from several Ajax industrial firms plagued local residents for years before the province stepped in and forced the companies to change their ways, Atkinson notes. "We've had difficulty in dealing with the MOEE in the past. The residents are kind of once bitten, twice shy," he says. "The bottom line is people here are con- cerned. Are there going to be odor problems here as well?" Atkinson adds that there have already been com- plaints from Ajax residents about noise levels from other businesses on Squires Beach Road, "especially in summer, when people have their windows open and the sound is echoed by the creek." He is however, certainly willing to give Durham Materials the benefit of the doubt. "Our regional councillors raised all these issues through the '.. (regional approval) process and they're satisfied there won't be strong odors. They're satisfied there won't be problems." Grayson said the receiving hours for the facility are set for 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Saturday, with the other areas of the operation, such as sorting and compacting, being performed indoors. That, he said, should ease concerns over noise. Durham Materials will take in nearly 55,000 tonnes of residential waste per day (from homes in Pickering, Ajax and Uxbridge, plus three regional drop-off sites), starting in November when Brock West closes. In addi- tion they wil, be handling 38,000 tonnes of industrial, commercial and institutional garbage, and will start receiving that waste in two weeks. The operation will also mean from 35 to 50 new jobs for Durham residents and more work for local trades- people and businesses. "It's our obligation," Grayson says, in promising a cleaner post -Brock West world, "to be good corporate citizens." IPS t o put -therake on traffIc 111te new Intersection Pedestrian Signal (IPS) on Oklahoma Drive may not put the brake on drives on the Oklahoma Speedway, but it will certainly help school children cross the street safely. At least, that's the hope of Steve Brake, Pickering's traffic coordinator, who says the new 'half -signal' - the first in Durham Region - is not as costly and more efficient than full traffic lights and safer than a crosswalk. '"The benefit is it's cheaper than a (frill) traffic signal but pro- vides safer crossing than a pedes- trian cross-over." The cost of full lights at the intersection (located at Eyer Drive, in front of Fairport Beach Public School) would have been $55,000, including road improve - meats.

"But the signage isn't too bad. it's a bit confusing for motorists but it's a step in the right direction. It's def- initely an improvement." Eventually, says Pickering director of operations Tom Quinn, the IPS will replace all pedestrian cross -overs in the town. "Tice big promotion of this will come in September when the kids come back to school," he pre- dicts. "We hope this works real well. We think it has tremendous possibilities."

Now the Safety Game has joined the world wide web. The flash card safety game, developed in partnership with the Canada Safety Council, was designed for children 5 to 10 years of age. The game consists of 24 cards each of which focuses on home, fire, traffic, or bite safety. Over 175,000 games have been distributed to Canadian children, helping to mate them and their 0symates safer On the Internet, the questions and graphics are the same as the original card game, but children can now type in their name and have a certificate of completion printed at the end of the game.

One of the lots granted under the king's hand was Lot 21, Concession 1, (Bayly St.) Pickering. This 200 acre forested lot extended north beyond Concession 2 (Finch Ave.) and was the second lot east of Liverpool Rd. bordering north Sandy Beach Rd. It was destined to be intersected by the Grand Trunk R.R. (CNR-CPR), by Kingston Rd. (Highway 2), by the 401 super highway, and to contain part of the Pickering mall. Ten years later (1837) three important events occurred. The first was the coronation of Queen Victoria; the second was the Upper Canada rebellion, instigated by William Lyon MacKenzie; the third was the construction of the house on Lot 21. Victoria gave her name to an era; the rebellion failed, the house was a great success. Daniel Knowles, the first owner, built well. After buying 50 of the south acres from King's College, he constructed a lasting dwelling in which hand- hewn timbers would rest on a virtually indestructible stone fonndstian. The small house is occupied to this day. The most memorable of many owners was Arthur James Thompson, who lends his name to the Art Thompson arena nearby. Scotland's loss was Canada's gain when, in 1841, John Thompson and wife Agnes, of Kelso, embarked on a three -maned I S U R E GOW Ce 3(iouse an Cot 21 sailing ship from Glasgow to New York and thence to Toronto. The ship that bore them on the seven week voyage was overloaded with immigrants. Food became scarce, but Agnes had prudently brought along a large bag of oatmeal. Her sagacity and strength of character would be well demonstrated then and later. She was not about to be pushed around, not even in later years by Timothy Eaton, the department store mogul, when she happened to own a house in Toronto on land he needed for his new store. After she refused to sell, the frustrated T. Eaton threatened to build around her. She replied "it didn't matter whether he could build around her, or he could build over top of her house, but she would still be there and not be forced to sell to him." She outlived Eaton and the store obtained the property only after her death When John and Agnes Henry M. Gawman *wial to The Original Bay I dews arrived in Toronto in 1841, the newly incorporated (1837) city had a population of 16,000. As if to celebrate their arrival, the first 100 gas street lamps were turned on. He was a stone -mason -contractor and they soon bought a house when the average price was 3200 pounds. They had seven children. Grandson, Arthur James Thompson was born near Toronto in 1889. Arthur notes in his memoirs that his first school equipment was "a slate and 3 slate pencil." In higher grades they marched around the room in coats to keep warm while the ink was frozen in the inkwells. Gas jets lent a poor light on dark days. Just the same, the schools produced some fine citizens. With the blood of Hugenots and that of a grandmother who defied Timothy Eaton, Arthur had the recipe for success in his veins. He was a listener. His mature philosophy was "that there are always two sides to a story." Where he lived as a boy was the heart of Toronto. He lived on, or in the vicinity of, such streets as John, Joan, Louisa, Alice, Nelson and Agnes, and in proximity to Trinity Square and the Grange, In, 1899. when he was ten, he could be found at 6:00 a.m. working his paper route on Queen St., Yonge, Dundas and Simcoe. On Grange Rd. stood the house of the Mackenzie King family whose son became Prime Minister of Canada and whose daughter Jennie King (later Mrs. Lay) taught Arthur in Sunday school. On Louisa St. lived Timothy Forton. Those were the days of horse-drawn fire engines, a fascinating sight for any boy. Jn July, 1908, Arthur was sent with his regiment, the 48th Highlanders militia, to Quebec City to join 25,000 other troops from all over Canada for the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the landing of the French governor - Champlain. In attendance were the Duke of York (later to become George V), and two British Field Marshals -- Lord Roberts and Kitchener. They paraded in the heat on the famous Plains of Abraham where Wolfe and Montcalm had fought and died. The ceremony lasted ten days. Such a spectacle would be unthinkable in Quebec today. In 1939 George VI was on the throne of England, the second World War had begun, and Arthur Thompson moved with his family into the house on Lot 21. Farther east along the lake shore, the Defence Industries shell plant was built, leading to the birth of Ajax, and Arthur became head of security at the plant In his life he seems to have been security officer, detective and investigator all riled into one. From the shell plant he went to the Wartime Prices and Trade Board seeking out wily evaders of the law.

From Daniel Knowles to Arthur Thompson the history of the house is the history of Pickering. The forest gave way to farms, farms gave way to subdivision. Base Line turned into a four lane road with endless traffic. Where the Grand Trunk once brought visitors from the city to Pickering for the holidays, the GO train now takes people from Pickering to work in Toronto. The house on Lot 21 is ,not architecturally significant when compared with the Post Manor on Brock Rd. or the Bentley House in Brougham. h was (built by a practical man for practical purposes - as a shelter and a refuge. Standing as mute witness to the passage of time, the venerable dwelling may soon be lost to development No matter how many good men, like Arthur James Thompson, may have lived in the old houses remaining in Pickering, the structures cannot be saved unless then is a public willing to do so. And public will can be futile unless the house has a purpose other than just to be them lb be saved, a historical house must be used. If there is no respect for than when they stand, then a Heritage Estate, similar to the one in Markbam, is in order here.

Her artistic journey has taken her far away from references to the rock petroglyphs of specific Native American tribes, to work that is progressively less illustrative and more symbolic. Her paintings are at their best when they combine technique, sunbleached colour and unusual juxtapositions. Among the pictographs, she has repeated several motifs, especially those of male and female and family. Similarly, landscape elements are signalled in patterns of trees or the sun. These are combined with images from the world today, particularly the newspaper. Call (905) 576-3000 for Gallery hours; admission is free.

Dara rar�a G111da6j1!-lila _-I I i Durham region has become the mecca of lacrosse. While neither Ajax nor Pickering have a team to call their own to contend for any of the three major titles (Mann Cup, Minto Cup or Founders Cup), there are area players who par- ticipate on the respected teams who vie for those championships. But while the major titles are reserved for male lacrosse players, four Ajax women are making a name for themselves across the province. Margot Jacobs, Audrey Kelly, Jennifer Shannon and the youngest of the four, Jody Kennedy, are currently participating at the National Women's Field Lacrosse Championships in British Columbia. All but Kennedy play with the Ontario Senior team; Jody is making her debut with the Ontario Junior "A" squad. For the last two years she played with the "B" squad and feels her game has improved enough for her to earn the spot on the big team. "I read the plays more and see the ball bet- ter," said Kennedy. "I used to swing my stick a lot, which got me in trouble." Kennedy, in her final year as a junior, is looking forward to capturing a medal for Ontario at the championships. '"This is my first big thing where I can win a medal." said the 18 year-old junior. After her junior years, Kennedy hopes to crack the Ontario senior line-up next year and wrap up her high school career at Ajax with a scholarship to a university Jacobs and Kelly are the veterans on the Ontario senior team.

"'There are better and better players coming along every year," says Jacobs. "I think Japan ('97 Women's World Field Lacrosse Championships) would be an awesome experi- ence." Currently at York University where she is a player/coach of the current two-time C.I.A.U. champs, Jacob's main focus is to win the third consecutive National title for Ontario in British Columbia. But the area's best up-and-coming star, Jen Shannon, is on track for a marvellous career. Heading to the University of British Columbia this September, Shannon would like to enter university with a senior national cham- pionship under her belt. In only her third year of playing field lacrosse, Shannon has proven to be one of the future stars of this country. "The fust time I went to one of the camps, I hadn't picked up a stick," recalls the 19 year- old lacrosse player. "I didn't know what I was doing. But I kept going, the masochist that I am. "When you rise yourself to a higher level, you bring yourself up and improve so much faster." Like Jacobs, Shannon doesn't know if she'll be trying out for the National team when the Canadian Championships conclude. Sighting external pressures for her uncer- tainties, Shannon might have to skip playing for Canada next year. But with many great years ahead of her, she would like to be as popular as her favourite lacrosse player, An Wndover. "My ultimate goal would to be one of those legendary players," says Shannon.
