Warranty & Get A Complete Rud Pmoofrnq Package, For Only $'1 .00 + ?aces But no triactor as teletheatre operators still looking for payoff by Glenn Hendry Off-track betting teletheatres - introduced with much fanfare two years ago - have provided a much-needed boon for Norm Picov and quarter horse racing in Durham Region. For the teletheatre operators, however, the financial impact has been minimal. Three teletheatres - one each in Pickering. Ajax and Whitby and run jointly by Picov Downs racetrack and the Ontario Jockey Club (OJC) - beam racing action into local bars. The facilities - Moodies in Ajax, Wire to Wire in Pickering and Spurs in Whitby - allow punters to wager on races from Woodbine to Flamborough and from Hialeah to Saratoga with- out leaving the comfort of their bar stools. The biggest winner has been the Picov Downs race track, which holds live quarter -horse racing every Sunday afternoon in Ajax. A home for quarter - horse racing for more than 25 years (the track was honored last month with a heritage plaque from the American Quarter Horse Association), Picov's revenue from telethe- atres - more than $50 million in two years - has built a new barn, pumped up purses by almost four per cent and boost- ed attendance more than 30 per cent Ten thousand fans came through the turnstiles last sea- son alone, with most of the influx coming from local young couples. The introduction of the OTB outlets also came at a most opportune time, with the track in danger of closing. '"Che only way we can sup- port Picov Downs is to have the three teletheatres. It's the only way we can exist," Picov explains. The improvements to the track and surrounding facilities have also come just in time, he adds. "Our goal has always been to promote quarter horse racing and to make our track more family -friendly. "We're not a Woodbine. We're a family track - the aver- age age is 30 - that's our mar- ket Now we can budget for more on -track entertainment, such as clowns and children's entertainment, because we want to be an entertainment centre for Durham Region." It has also been a win-win situation for the OIC, which provides the satellite signal and the wagering technology. And it's also big business. More than $1.2 billion was bet through the jockey club last year, half through off-track outlets. While attendance dropped at some tracks, notably at Woodbine in Metro (Canada's number one track), the telethe- atres have nonetheless pumped fresh money into the OJC cof- fers, says jockey club director Jean Major. "It's difficult to measure but we believe a lot of the money bet at these teletheatres is new money," he says. "It has intro- duced the product to people who would have not gone to the tracks. "It has also increased aware- ness of horse racing and made it more accessible. That," says Major, has been a "significant benefit" to the industry. The success of off-track bet- ting hasn't stopped the jockey club from looking at even more lucrative revenue sources for the future, such as a racing channel (an application is before the CRTC), with tele- phone account betting. For the teletheatre operators, however, off-track betting has simply been another way to run a bar. If there's big money in it, it certainly hasn't come their way. The problem, points out Moodies' manager Steve Britton, is that OTB operators don't get a slice of the betting action. Their revenue comes from a percentage of the entrance fee and the selling of food and drink to the betting customers "We're not making as much as everybody thinks," Britton insists. "We don't get a percent- age of the bas: I don't care if they bet $2 or $10,000, it does- n't mean anything to me." Business has been "okay" only, he says, pointing out that serious gamblers limit their drinking or don't drink at all, thereby limiting the bar's rev- enue. As well, he adds, the clientelle is limited. "Nobody's going to come here unless they're going to gamble." Brian Ramsey, the manager at Wire to Wire in Pickering, says business has been good since they moved south a few doors from Mud Hen's Tapps and Grill last year. But he agrees that most of his cus- tomers are veteran gamblers; he sees little new blood. "There's a diverse crowd, but it's mostly longtime horseplay- ers. It's still the people who went to the track that are going to the teledwatres," he says. "A lot of people are not going to the track anymore because these places are convenient and close." But the future of teletheatres is still uncertain, at least for the operators," claims Britton. He would Ile to see more new- comers give off-track betting a try, pointing out that betters "don't have to blow their bud- get" to have fun." But success over the long term is still "up in the air," he says - "The big question other operators are asking is. 'when are we going to see a percent- age of the bets?"'

"But you have to get to the root of a problem to solve it." Several other councillors, including Dave Ryan, Doug Dickerson and Arthurs,also defended the town in speeches Tuesday.

UI claimants at 15 year low To the Editor, .1t looks like a cause for celebration. but if unem ployment is at a high level, then the low level of unemployment insurance claims only means the unemployed have been that way for so long that they no longer have access to LTI benefits. The sys- tem has failed. People have slid through the UI system into welfare or no support system at all. They may be kept by a spouse, work at casual jobs or may have diverted to crime for revenue. . If you add the 715,000 people receiving Ul bene- fits to people with no other choice but welfare and the under -employed people working at part-time, temporary or no jobs, then the available now work- ers in Canada likely exceed two million people.

Pickering After five years, the Town of Pickering has finally come up with a "vision statement" that will theoreti- cally carry it into the next century. Councillor Dave Ryan, who got poetic in introduc- ing the statement, noting that "words are the windows to the mind," said the vision for the town was the result of public input and the "col- lective experience" of the councillors. The vision statement is, as follows: Pickering...A com- has vision plete community striving for excellence, ready for the 21st century. A vibrant com- munity in which to live, work and invest, where all members contribute to its optimum well-being." Councillor Enrico Pistritto joined in to gush over the vision statement, calling it a "dream come true.,. A "mission statement" - the methods of implement- ing the vision statement - is forthcoming from town staff. /f McTeague holds public forum by Twemce Schdtema On August 28 at the Whitby Council Chambers, MP Dan McTeague held his 37th public forum since taking office in 1993. As usual, Whitby residents provided a good turnout. One resident, whose wife is living at Fairview Lodge in Whitby, said recent news concerning our changing Medicare system had him concerned. McTeague blamed the provinces for not having "kept up their end of the deal" and suggested that Ontarians give up their promised provincial tax cut to maintain standards. He explained that Medicare costs are borne equally between the provincial and federal governments, but recently the federal government has been "writing blank cheques." He suggested that the hospitals and the provincial government should look at more efficient ways of delivering services because the federal government is no longer able to pay." The crowd was vocal when the Young Offenders Act was raised. McTeague said although he felt "the age to get these kids into the system is 10", he also asked, "where the hell are the parents?" Some parents replied that "disciplining your kids these days will get you thrown into jail." All agreed the current system was a failure!

The Family Festival has been a successful part of the Ajax social calendar for many years, providing an opportunity for Ajax's residents and the business community to come together in a small town festival atmosphere. I would like to offer my congratulations and thanks to the 1996 Ajax Family Festival's Organizing Committee for putting together, what I know, will be another successful event. Sincerely, Steve Parish, Mayor Ajax Family Festival a 'get acquainted' weekend The Ajax Family being revamped. The response was really Festival, Trade, Home & However, in 1993, Dickson good. Craft Show is a sort of 'get was asked to reactivate Dickson credits the acquainted' weekend for local business and residents of the town, according to one of its founders. Local businessman Joe Dickson, a former region councillor, was among the small group of individuals who turned a good idea into an even greater reality back in 1983. He recalled the birth of the community event. 'The intent was to bring closer ties between the residents of Ajax and business,' he said during an interview. 'We hoped it would become an annual event and a truly family weekend - something for every member of the family.' Dickson served as the festival's chairman during those fledgling years. He was replaced by former parks and recreation director Gord Bradley and Walter Chillman of MDK Electric. The festival ran for seven straight years, but had to be cancelled in 1990 as the Ajax Community Centre was the event and returned as chairman, a title he also holds this year. Organizers hope to continue the great work and fun -filled events of the past. During its history, the Ajax Family Festival Trade, Home & Craft Show, supported by a host of Ajax businesses, has raised approximately $96,000 for community projects - including the local general hospital, Ajax -Pickering Salvation Army Food Bank, youth projects and senior citizens. Most of this year's full slate of events are free, thanks to the support of business. Rogers Community 10, Coughlan Homes and Deer Creek Golf & Country Estates are playing major sponsorship roles this year. While response to this year's festival has been extremely successful, Dickson recalled the event's initial year was difficult. 'it was difficult to sell all of the booths the first year,' he said. 'But we did sell out the second year. volunteer executive for most of the festival's success over the years, but he also credits former mayors Jim Witty and the late Bill McLean, past recreational director John Murray and councillor Joe Atkinson for continued support. The first Family Festival, Trade, Horne & Craft Show of 1983 shares much in common with this year's event Dickson said. In both years, the country, and especially Ontario, was attempting to recover from an -economic recession. 'Our goal is 100 per cent revival in the midst of the worst recessionary times we've seen in 40 years,' Dickson said. As for the future of the Ajax Family Festival, Trade, Home & Craft Show, he hopes that, like the town Itself, the event will just keep getting better than ever. 'I'd like to see it keep growing and perhaps be large enough to occupy the second arena floor in future years,' Dickson said. __—� .—sn�e.�,„•�s�s.� _ —,rr—........,:�;�,;..*,.•,.—mw�w1°ARR1E�/pC'�*.`.'.'+i•'F:.inf!ie»y�..ffi!!7'» ,"�T.✓l�A�e:iC.p ! I M Downsizing has Ajax looking up The Town of Ajax has taken significant steps in recent months to continue its goal of a leaner, more efficient government operation: downsizing without any staff layoffs. The town's $TARS pro- gram identified $1 million In real savings to taxpay- ers in 1995; savings that were achieved through the implementation of approximately 450 employee suggestions. Contracting out of certain services, cross -training of staff and early retirement packages have facilitated the downsizing without the disruption of layoffs. The $TARS program has been recognized with an AMCTO award for out- standing achievement and has been featured on CTV's W5 program. Despite the downsizing, the town has made signif- icant increases in the level of service that is pro- vided to the community. The hours have been increased at the library's McLean branch and Sunday service has been introduced at the main branch. Also, Sunday ser- vice, community night service and extra service to Durham Centre has been instituted by Ajax Transit. There have also been increases in infor- mation to the public through the Down to Business Program on Community Cable 10 and the Rotary Club ..Community Information sign on Westney Road and Highway 2. As the economy contin- ues to stagnate in many areas of Ontario, there has been significant industrial and commercial development within Ajax. =Durham Centre continues toward completion and "the industrial land to the .north on Harwood Avenue Chas .been unlocked ;through the completion of t=:=the road's realignment. The Carruthers Creek unitary sewers were installed from Bayty Street to Highway 2, which will enable the town to open up industrial lands north of Bayly and eventually north of Highway 2. Further, the water plant received approval and construction has started. The town is also working to prezone the A3 lands for industrial uses and to complete the Pickering Beach Road Environmental Assessment process and land use plans so Ajax can offer a first class product of hundreds of acres of industrial lands. There has also been an increase in the existing industrial base of the municipality. Volkswagen Canada has expanded its facility to incorporate their Canadian head office. Several other Ajax employers, including Messier -Dowty, W.R. Grace, Dominion Color, Dupont, Mead Packaging, Jet Mouldings and Triac Industries and have expanded or are in the process of expanding their Ajax operations. The retail sector is also currently enjoying a strong growth spurt. In addition to Durham Centre, the Mackenzie Plaza, at the corner of Mackenzie Avenue and Bayly, is enjoying good times. In early 1995 the majority of the plaza was vacant. the plaza is now 90 per cent leased. The Westney Heights Plaza at the corner of Westney Road and Highway 2 was also expanded to accom- modate a White Rose nursery, Rogers Video and a few smaller users. The plaza is 100 per cent leased. The town has also started work on the Downtown Study. The goal of the study is to cre- ate a strong people -ori- ented downtown with a broad range of amenities and services. The study will be completed by the end of this year. It has been a banner year for the Ajax water- front, too. Ajax recenty completed a land trans- action with a land devel- oper to bring the lands at the foot of Harwood into public ownership. The waterfront plan, which was complete in 1995, has begun to be imple- mented and will ultimately extend across the entire waterfront. The Somerset Cove development has been brought forward at the east end of the water- front and the Duffins Creek Bridge has been opened at the west end, connecting the waterfront trail in Ajax to Pickering. These are exciting times in the Town of Ajax, as business growth is on an upswing and the gov- ernment is taking a busi- ness approach to con- ducting its own affairs. To that end. Ajax will contin- ue its move towards a lean and efficient opera- tion through the imple- mentation of the next phase of the $TARS pro- gram, to be introduced in the near future.

Photo.by Jim Lynch Savarino shows her stuff on soccer field Fourteen year old has made an impact with U 17 team s one of the youngest members on the Ontario Under -17 soccer team, she tiad to prove to her teammates and coach that she belonged on the squad. At 14 years -old, Bianca Savarino just needed a little playing time to make an impression on the coach. Just being named to the team was an accomplishment. Then, to he selected as part of the touring team was another big step. The final step was being a regular on the starting line-up. While that didn't come right away, Bianca now believes she has made her mark. Her first big test came at the National Championships in Regina earlier this summer. Sitting on the bench for the entire opening match against Saskatchewan, the Pickering resident finally saw some action in the following game against British Columbia. She started against Quebec and made the most of her chances by scoring her first goal. Savarino followed that up with another goal against Manitoba "I had to prove myself throughout the whole tournament," said Bianca. "I started out by not playing, then playing a little bit, then playing almost a whole gee." Bianca, playing out of the mid -field position, said she was glad to have the opportunity to showcase her ability and now wants to have more responsibility. "It felt really good," said Bianca of playing well and scoring twice in Regina "1 proved myself to the coach and scoring was a bonus." After the Nationals, the team travelled to Florida to play some top American teams. While failing to score a goal in the four games, Bianca said she didn't do anything to hurt her position on the team. "I started every game and probably only came off for five minutes in a game," she said. "Even though I had my starting position, I still had to earn that spot. I felt like I had proved it in the tournament before (Nationals) and I just bad to keep it." Playing for the provincial team, Bianca said her game has improved by leaps and bounds, which has helped her when she plays for her Scarborough Azzurri club team. "I know more about the game now," said Bianca. "When I go from the provincial team to the club team, I'm looking at a different game 'cause the club team isn't as experienced. But with them, I can contribute to the game more. A possible trip to North Carolina is next for the Pickering soccer player. There are still a few things though. Bianca wants to accomplish in the next year with the U 17 team. 'I want to keep starting, play a whole game, score some goals, play well and play some tournaments with the U19 team, as well," said Bianca. Aiax` girls play spoilers in soccer league Ajax Mead Packaging girls under 17 rep team foils foes In league action, the Ajax girls put up a spirited fight against league leaders Peterborough City, but last by the narrowest of margigs. Ajax held territorial advan- tage throughout the game due to the dominance of the mid- field players, namely, Colleen Faux, Lindsay Anderson and Kristin Toomsalu. Erin Walkom, as usual, played a sound game between the posts. The Ajacians had throe wonderful scoring chances but could not capitalize. In other league action Ajax and Whitby played arguably the most exciting league Vine this yex Whitby need- ed a win to capture their fast leagna chwapionship, but the tie cost them and Petabarough City A became the 1996 league champions. Whitby began scoring in the opening minutes of the first half on an Ajax defensive error. The Ajacians came back fighting and were rewarded with a splendid goal .from the boot of Michelle Anderson. In the second half, Ajax took control after a shaky opening when Whitby dominated. From a Whitby goalmouth melee Jessie Knowles, one of the Ajax strikers, took a shot and a Whitby defeodtx in ejdeavar- ing to clear only helped the ball over the line. Moments later, Chanttle Gauthia got a break -away for Ajax and used her speed to outdistance the Whitby defense and put the ball in the net. The Whitby girls, feeling their champi- onship hopes slipping away, came fighting back and scared twice to equalize. But it was not enough, as they had ,to win to get the league title. For Ajax, Walkom was outstanding in goal, while defenders Laura Purdon, Cathy Walton anti Gauthier all played soundly. 9'oomsalo, Lindsay Anderson and Faux dominated the mid- field until the last quarter when they tired noticeably and allowed Whitby to get back in the game. Up front, wingers Lisa Taylor and Michelle Anderson played brilliantly, but the team lacked power in the middle which ultimately cost Ajax the win. At the recent Whitby Iroquois Soccer Club Rep. Tournament Ajax's faihae to defeat a team they should M" beaten, hurt diem. Ajax opened the tourna- ment with an easy victory over Orillia. Lindsay Anderson and Walkom each scared once in the win while Taylor collected two goals in the opening round win. The game against Newmarket proved to be a tough game for Ajax. Michelle Anderson and Walkom, who scored from a penalty kick after Lindsay Anderson had been brought down in the box, tallied mark- ers for Ajax in the 2-0 win ova Newmarket Lightning .B. Ajax lost to the weakest team in the division, Newmarket Lightning `A' 1- 0, Playing their worst game of the tournament. The defense gave up an early goal and though they continued to press for the equalizer for the remainder of the game, they could not get the ball in the net. The midfielders and wingers played well, but lack of power and shooting ability in the middle cost Ajax the game.

In North Bay at the Qualifiers, Pickering opened up against a strong team from Arthur. The Pickering girls played excellent defense and turned the Arthur team away with a 6-5 loss. The next day Pickering matched up against Markham and showed excellent defence and strong offence by defeating them 15-0. The next game was against the heavily favored team from Barrie. The teams exchanged runs throughout the game, but in the end °ickering lost 9-7 with the winning run at the plate. The emotion of that game took a lot out of the younger team from Pickering as they faced Arthur again that night. The game went scoreless for three innings until the stronger more experienced Arthur team took over and won the game. Arthur ended up winning the silver medal with Barrie taking the bronze. Though disappointed, the members of the Pickering team can hold their heads up high knowing next year they will be the Senior team. They feel they will then take home the gold. The girls worked hard all year and showed some gutsy play and determination in defeating many teams that were older and stronger. The goal for the two coaches' next year is for the girls to bring a gold medal back to Pickering and be Ontario Champs. The team consists of: Wendy Taylor, Sheri Parker, Ashlyn Young, Laura Hill, Courtney Puddister, Fon Fan;, Michelle Douglas, Erin McLachlin, Ashlee Froggett, Melissa Meikle, Christie Barlow, manager Linda Taylor and coaches Paul Parker and Roger Young. The team is holding tryouts for next season beginning Wednesday September 11th at 6:30 p.m. at Kinsmen Park, for more info call Paul 420-1304 or Roger 427-8013. Pidgeon no fly-by-night bowler Not concerned about win- ning medals. Pickering's Gordon Pidgeon returned from the Canadian Special Olympics National 5 -Pin Championships in St. John's, Newfoundland with two medals. "I just wenn there for the fun," said Pidgeon. While he did have fun, Pidgeon also came back home as a double -medal winner The Pickering resi- dent, who bowls with the Durham. High Rollers at Ajax Bowl, capuued gold in the team event and silver in the individual Pins Over Average competition. Separated from the even- tual gold medal winner in the individual portion, Pidgeon recently found out he won the silver by three *L He bowled a phis 159 oyer a period of six games while in Newfoundland to mnowly capture the silveL Pidgeon is a part of the (Durham West Special Sports and represented Region 12 while out east. To add to the silver, Pidgeon and his teammates ,won gold. Pidgeon and his five other teammates collected 41.5 out of a possible 48 to win their division and square off against another Ontario team m the finals. The team kept up their high pace and took six out of eight points to win the gold. "The coaches knew we had it," said Pidgeon. "But they never told us." Team coach and Pickering resident Joyce Dunlop is extremely proud ,of her bowlers as they put forward their best effort while displaying good sportsmanship. While cheer- ing each other on, they also applauded the efforts put forth by bowlers from other teams. Dunlop said without the efforts of the Peebles family, Don Anderson of Ajax Bowl, Ajax 5 -Pin Bowlers Association, Pickering resi- dent Walter Heeney, the Canadian Master Bowlers' Association, the Law Enforcement Community (for their efforts in the Torch Run for Special Olympics), the Durham Regional Police Services, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mountie Police, the athletes in the area would not be able to accomplish their goals.

A common reason for this condition is worn valve guide seals, according to Car Care Canada of the Automotive Industries Association of Canada. The valves in a typ- ical engine may open and close as often as 100,000 times per hour at highway speeds. The stem of the valve, sliding up and down the facts of engine life in its guide, is fitted with a special seal designed to per- mit only a limited amount of oil to pass. (Some oil is nec- essary for lubrication.) When these seals wear or harden, oil burning begins. Many to the conditions which cause an engine to burn oil prematurely are due to vehicle neglect. Piston rings, for example, can wear out prematurely because of the owner's failure to change the oil and filter regularly. Worn rings lead to excessive oil consumption. There's only one satisfac- tory cure for worn piston rings: major engine work, which normally is accompa- nied by replacement of bear- ings, timing belt or chain, valve guides and other wom internal components. At that time valves are ground or replaced. This procedure, combined with a complete tune-up, usually will return the engine to nearly new perfor- mance. With proper maintenance an engine should go well beyond the 160,000 km mark without needing an overhaul. Check engine oil regularly, recommends Car Care Canada. If oil is over - full or smells like gasoline, it may be diluted with gaso- line, thereby having lost some of its lubricating qual- ities. If you have to pump the accelerator to keep the engine from stalling, you may be pumping raw gaso- line into the crank case. This situation can be avoided by keeping the engine in tune. Misfiring spark plugs can aggravate a situation such as this because they permit raw, unburned gasoline to wash into the crank case. Not only does this create hard starting, it also accelerates wear due to diluted engine oil. Another factor in oil burn- ing is a malfunctioning posi- tive crank case ventilation (PCV) valve, which is A v0 Oe O. `kF .O I N Z v intended to route oil vapours p through the combustion • chamber rather than permit- 15 ting them to escape into the atmosphere. If the PCV system is not in proper working order, it can be the cause of oil burning. Remember: excessive oil burning is a condition that gradually worsens and can affect other aspects of the engine. Like so many other car troubles, says Car Care Canada, early detection and correction are essential.
