Dickerson charged'
Pickering
with "back-roomof iticki n " to win seat
p g
deal with Fred Beer: "Did I offer anything? The answer is no"
councillor denies he made
by Glenn Hendry
Pickering politician Doug
Dickerson has been accused of
"selling" his future votes in
exchange for support during last
January's regional councillor
nomination process.
Claremont activist Fred Beer
says fie struck a deal with
Dickerson before the Pickering
businessman won the council
nomination for the seat over
rivals Sherry Senis and Jill
Foster, replacing the late David
Farr.
Beer says Dickerson visited
his house before the vote, and
during the conversation "it was
agreed I would support him in
exchange for his support (to
defeat) the deGraauw and
Cherry Downs golf course pro-
posals."
Dickerson, vehemently denies
the charge.
"Did I offer anything for Fred
Beer's support? The answer is
no." he says.
The Club Link proposal - a
golf course expansion and 250 -
plus cluster homes in north
Pickering - was defeated b
Council shortly after
Dickerson's appointment. Th
proposal from deGraauw - eight
homes adjacent to his Spring
Creek golf course - eventually
was carried at council, but only
after Dickerson flip-flopped his
vote.
Ajax Goes to the Movies
By David Bojarzin
The phrase "Coming to a
theatre near you," has taken
on new meaning for Ajacians.
Al a press conference Tuesday
morning, Ajax mayor Steve
Parish announced plans for
the construction of a major
Cineplex -Odeon theatre
facility in north Ajax. The
34100 square foot structure.
which will be built north of
Highway 2 rear Pickering
Beach Road and will house
eight to 10 screens, and
possibly a games arcade, is
the culmination of years of
effort on the town's behalf.
"There has been a long-
standing desire to get this kind
of facility in AJax," notes
Mayor Parish, indicating that
the town has been trying to
get a major theatre company
to locate in the area since the
early 1980s. "Ajax has been
lacking this for so long," he
says.
Councillor Joe Atkinson
agrees, pointing out that
Harwood Place Mall was
originally supposed to contain
a cinema in its top portion, but
the town was subsequently
told that the area would not
generate sufficient volume to
make it economically viable.
Private sector thinking has
clearly changed. The current
construction plans are part of
what Atkinson terms an
"expansion mode" for
Cineplex -Odeon. which was
reportedly attracted to what it
considers a burgeoning north
Ajax scene.
The town is also expected
to benefit financially. Mayor
Parish, Councillor Frank
Schaper and Director of
Business Development Grant
Whittington all anticipate that
the construction and operation
of the facility will provide a
boost to the local economy,
creating initial construction
work and then 45 to 50 part-
time employment
opportunities within the
completed building. In
addition, it will be a
"significant generator of
taxes." notes Parish.
It is expected that a
building permit for the site
will be obtained by the end of
this year and that construction
will begin in the spring of
1997, with the opening slated
for the late summer or fall.
Part of the site is now
occupied by Guthrie House,
considered by the Local
Architectural Conservation
Committee to be a "significant
historical landmark", being
one of the town's original
farmhouses. The site's
developer, Mitchell Goldhar,
however, has stated that,
while the house may be
shifted, it will not leave the
site itself and will remain
intact.
Dickerson's change of heart
y came shortly after Beer stood up
in council and called the coun-
t cillor a "liar."
Beer says
he made the
deal with
Dickerson
because he
believed the
councillor -
who has sat on
council twice
before - had
"changed his
ways.'
"I believed
he had
changed. Now
I believe he
has reverted back to his old
ways," Beer says, declining to
elaborate. "That's why I got
angry at council last August and
yelled across the floor. I lost my
cool."
Dickerson admits he met with
Beer. but emphasizes that no
deal was made, adding that his
subsequent council votes were
not influenced in any way.
A was asked by Fred (at the
meeting) how I felt on certain
issues, such as Club Link. I told
him I was not supportive of hav-
ing over 300 homes in that area.
That would result in a country
club community larger than any
of our rural hamlets."
Club Link
boss Bruce
Simmonds,
a l r e a d y
unhappy with
Beer - who he
Doug Dickerson
says is a mein-
ber of a
"fringe group"
of north
Pickering resi-
dents - was
less than
pleased to
hear the accu-
sation of deal -
making.
"The development proposal
was an excellent proposal for the
Town of Pickering. It should
have been allowed to stand on
its own merits," he says. "It
should not be the subject of
back -room politicking."
Dickerson says he changed
his vote on the deGraauw issue
because of "new information."
not because he was angry at
Beer.
"It was my belief there was
one aquifer feeding• not only the
golf course, but also the sur-
rounding homes," he explains.
"But when I read the consultants'
report I saw there were three
aquifers. No interference (to the
water table of local residents)
was discovered. That was my
major concern and that's why I
moved for a re -consideration.
"Politicians must be receptive
enough to be open to new infor-
mation. They must also be mar,
enough to admit when they're
wrong."
Beer says he is coming for-
ward with the accusation
because he feels "uncomfort-
able" with the arrangement,
adding that he has never before
struck a deal with a Pickering
politician.
"It bothers me that we spend
millions of dollars making an
Official Plan, knowing that
councillors will muddy it up at
will. Any four councillors work-
ing together can get anything
passed with little regard for the
Official Plan."
Dickerson, obviously upset,
reiterated that the charge is
groundless.
"What good would it do ... to
have his support. There's noth-
ing'I could trade for his sup-

Q. What can I do as a home
owner before I call a contractor fix
a no heat or inadequate heating
problem!
A. There a number of points that
you can check on before you all for
service. It's aggravating to pay for a
service call only to find out you
have a dirty filter a thermostat is
not set properly!
Check these basic items
before you call!
(1) Is any furnace switch on?
(2) Is the furnace fuse OK or is the
breaker on!
(3) Check the thermostat. Is it sit
correctly.
(4) Is your furnace filter ditty? '
(5) Is your electronic air cleaner
dirty? (Always check your pre-
filter,)
(6) Docs your furnace fart operate?
By not panicking and checking the
items listed, you could save yourself
the expense of an unnecessary
service call charge.
Please note that caution must be
taken when working with any
mechanical or electrical appliance
or device.
If your not familiar with these
appliances - DO NOT attempt any
repairs yourself, leave it to the
experts.
Mobile phone system set for business market takeover
toll-free.
"We think- it's going to be a
very powerful tool for the busi-
ness community," says
Clearnet chairman Bob
Simmonds. "Really, what we're
launching is our business com-
munication service, but what's
tuuque about
it is it's an
integrated
product: a
m o b i l e
phone, pager
and two-way
radio for
group or pri-
vate calling.
"And the coverage we're
offering - the Windsor -Quebec
corridor - no one is offering
that now."
Clearnet has been preparing
for Mike's launching since it
went public two years ago. The
public offering raised $20 mil-
lion. panners Motorola and
Nextel Communications raised
$9 million each and Cleamet
raised another $200 million
through high yield bonds.
Next, while the experts were
dreaming up the technology,
was to buy up channels in the
800 -megahertz spectrum, fol-
lowed by the installation of
telecommunications towers to
allow the system to work.
All that effort culminated
Friday in Mike's release, and
the company continued that
push with a television and print
media blitz through the week-
end.
Some of Mike's features
include advanced cell phone
features, digital quality, guar-
anteed voice mail service,
group calls for instant meet-
ings and private call features, a
software package that lets you
receive text messages from a
PC (using Mike -o -gram soft-
ware), fax forwarding, an
alphanumeric paging system,
no activation fees and simpli-
fied billing.
The result, claims Mike
himself in his advertising cam-
paign, is a combination of
"brains and brawn" that makes
the network "the most
advanced wireless communi-
cations system in Canada."
Simmonds put it more sim-
ply: '"This technology will save
businesses time and money."
While the product could
mean that dispatch radios are
over and out and spell the last
call for cell phones. Simmonds
notes Mike will likely serve
only the industrial and com-
mercial sectors.
Simmonds expects to have
networks set up in Western
Canada - both in the Vancouver
area and the Calgary -
Edmonton corridor - sometime
next year.

Editorial O'inion
...................................
Move over Rooney and Garland!
During this past year, scarcely a week has gone by when
changing the name of this newspaper hasn't seemed like a
good idea. What seemed a logical decision at the outset has
often led to pause for thought.
Among ourselves, we have often joked that The Original
Bay News started life last year much like a Mickey Rooney
Judy Garland movie. It was a case of: Hey, we have the
talent. we have the place and we know where we can get
the equipment. Why don't we put on a show of our own?
And, almost overnight, a newspaper was born. Never
having been in the newspaper business before, it seemed
logical that the place to find the equipment and enough
experienced people to get things started would be a
recently -closed newspaper. And sure enough, the trustees
of the defunct Bay News were able to sell us the equipment;
a diligent search produced several ex -staff members who
were willing to come on board.
Two factors kept us from creating a completely new
name. however. One, we couldn't think of anything we
liked better, and two — call it nostalgia — the Bay News had
a connection with the community. For many years, it had
been the only widely -read independent, community
newspaper faithfully serving the residents of Ajax and
Pickering.
And so it began• and in best show -biz tradition, the show
has gone on.
Regular readers will have noticed that we have been
continually trying out new things: new column ideas, new
page layouts, different type fonts. Even our size and front
page have benefitted from experimentation. Prom the start,
we have been committed to excellence; dedicated to
competing with ourselves each week, and not overly
concerned about the competition.
It is time now to change our name.
One of the greatest hurdles we have tried to ovenome .is,.,
that the Bay News name was so location -specific. It does
not reflect our circulation area, let alone the territory
involved in our coverage of "news." When we consider
ourselves actually a Durham newspaper, shouldn't our
name reflect that fact?
Having celebrated our first birthday, we'are now looking
toward not just our second year in business, but the 21st.
Century. Yes, we expect to be in this for the long haul. %
have already broken new ground with the kind of
investigative reporting seldom seen in community
newspapers. We need a name that reflects our
determination to be dif5ereat.
We are pleased that tie are not like any other newspaper
that is out there; that we are growing in circulation and
strength; that we are able to act as watchdog for the people
of the two great communities which we serve; and that we
are able to celebrate all that is good and right about Ajax!
and Pickering.
Ballots will be running for the net three or four weeks
and a great prize is up for grabs. We hope you'll take some
time out and help us come up with the the perfect name —
now that we have our show oft the road.
Rooney and Garland would be so proud!

Janet Ecker writes to Shoreline carriers
I am writing to inform you that we have received a
written response to your query concerning the payment of
monies due carriers employed by Shoreline Publishing Inc.,
a defunct company.
We have discussed this matter with and written to the
owners of The Original Bay News who say that while they
sympathize with the plight of these carriers, they are not
responsible for the debts of a company that has absolutely
no relationship to them.
Prior to the launch of Bay Publishing Inc., the owners
decided to use a similar name to that of the long established,
but now defunct "Bay News." The decision was to register
the identifiable trade name The Original Bay News. The
owners were made aware of the fact that carriers for the
"Bay News" were not paid. Although payment for these
carriers was in no way the responsibility of a new
newspaper with a similar name, they thought that there
might be some way that they could accommodate these
carriers and provide them with same money as a good will
gesture.
They sought legal advice on this matter and were advised

that "an act of this nature, although a good faith gesture,
could be viewed by other creditors of Shoreline Publications
as preferential treatment to a select group of creditors and
may represent a situation whereby major creditors of
Shoreline Publications Inc. could make claim."
We also contacted the Ministry of Labour who advised us
that the carriers in question must apply to the trustees,

High school football teams getting revenge on former powerhouse
igh school
tootball at the
,enior level is
stillerinb at Pickering
High School.
Not since 1974 have
the Trojans been in such
a hole. That year they
were 3-3. This year, they
have opened the season
0-2 with the most recent
loss coming at home, a
41-1 _ defeat to the hands
of the Dwyer Saints.
Picker;ng were down 41-
0 mid wav throuch the
fourth quarter before
putting up two late
touchdown drives.
"That was just total
domination," says
Pickering coach Graham
Hiron. -Without making
excuses, we thought we
would have been a lot
more respectable. It's a
rebuilding year."
Pickering has been the
envy of schools in
Durham Region for the
last 20 years. But now, it
seems, there is a
changing of the guard.
Dunbarton knocked
Pickering off the throne
last year and now it
seems every team has
caught up with the
school. Hiron knows that
teams still want to beat
Pickering and now that
the time has come, they
are going to rub it in for
all those years of
embarrassment.
"This is the lowest of
the lows," says Hiron.
"I've been here for years
and now 1 know how the
other half (of teams he
has faced in the past) felt
the years we dominated."
Dwyer tried to rub salt
in the wounds during the
fourth quarter up by 41
points by attempting to
make a fourth down
play.
The play occurred
because of a beating the
Trojans had laid on the
Saints two years ago up
47-0. Pickering
attempted an on -side
kick and Dwyer just
wanted to give them a
Little taste of how it feels.
Hiron knows his team
could be better if he had
the players he wanted on
the team.
"Two guys from the
n •ht side of our
(offensive) line (a guard
and tackle) are walking
the halls and don't want
to play football this
year.- says Hiron. "It's
not my style to track
them down and beg them
to play football. We're
only 0 Four teams
make the playoffs and
we'll keep trying.
Hopefully we'll be
okay."
With the injury of
running back Geoff
Hughes early in the
game against Dwyer,
Hiron's team may be in
for a long haul if he can't
run the ball.
Dunbarton, Dwyer,
Pine Ridge and
Uxbridge, who knocked
off the Spartans last
Friday, have put the
L.O.S.S.A. title up for
grabs.

Panthers off to a great start
After opening the season on the
road with a 4-3 tie in Niagara, the
Pickering Panthers have reeled off
four straight wins to start the
season 4-0-I. To add to the great
beginning, the Panthers won three
games over the weekend
Opening with a 34) victory over
Port Hope in the home opener at
the Pickering Recreation Complex
last Friday night, the Panthers then
participated in the College
Weekend at York Cnjversiry with a
4-3 victory over Quinte. They
Wowed that up with a gutsy 3
victory on home ice over the
Niagara Scenic last Sunday.
Sunday's victory came after the
team had finished the College
Weekend game (a chance for
Ontano Hockey League scouts to
have a look at the talent avadabie)
at 2 o'clock.., in the morning. After
a sluggish 40 minutes with
Niagara, the team put every ounce
of effort into preserving the
undefeated streak
Everyone involved with the
Panthers is thrilled with the great
beginning, but realurs there is sail
a great deal of hockey to be
Played.
"Anytime ,you keep winning,
there is going to be smiles.- said
grinning Panther head coach John
Blackburn. "They're working bud,
and they deserve it. What's
happening is that they're realizing
if you put in a 100 percent effort,
dtings will happen every night."
Pickering trailed Niagara 2-0
after 20 minutes and it stood that
way after two frames. Then
Blackburn gave the team a little
reminder of what needed to be
done in the third period.
Cue the comeback.
Jason Brown connected on the
powerplay just over a minute into
the third period, then scored his
second of the game with the man
advantage six minutes later to set
the stage for the big finish. Corey
Hass, with a Niagara player draped
all over him, managed to break
free, skate behind the Scenic goal
and come out from behind to tuck
the puck past the Niagara
netminder with just under five
minutes to May in the game.
"To come back, its a credit to
the kids in the dressing room,"
said Blackburn after the win
"They're getting that 'never say
die' attitude. Everybody chipped
in."
Richard Spooner, Derck
McNamara and %like McCormick
each chipped in with solo assists
while Graham Horne added two
helpers.

Profile
A big part of the early success
is the veteran defensive corps and
the solid netminding the Panthers
have received from Daniel
Jacques. Jacques has started and
finished all five games this season
and Blackburn doesn't see any
reason to pull him.
"The kid has played well and
made the big save at the big time.-
says Blackburn of Jacques. 'Our
goal each game is to keep the
other team under three Koals.
We've accomplished that tin four
of five games). When we fidn't.

Harwood Point called
"special"
by David Bojarzin
The Ajax waterfront has
been granted special status
by town council.
Ajax council's Committee -
of -the -Whole has approved
an amendment to the
Durham Region Lake
Ontario Waterfront Report
that would designate
Harwood Point, the section
of lakefront at the foot of
Harwood Avenue, as a
"Waterfront Place." Harwood
Point would become a "focal
point" along Lake Ontario,
and any l)lans to use its land
would have to meet certain
criteria.
Among the criteria listed
in the amendment, land use
plans should consider
environmental constraints,
maximize access by a variety
of transportation modes, and
maintain the maximum
amount of the water's edge
accessible to the public.
The amendment would
have to pass Durham
council, but Regional
Councillor Roger Anderson
said he expects the
amendment to cant' easily.

made public. But regulations in
the Municipal Act, he adds, do
not state what matters are
required to be discussed secret-
ly, but instead suggest issues
that "may” be in -camera.
"It becomes very discre-
tionary at council (what is
revealed to the public) and it
becomes very frustrating to the
residents.
"I thought it was clear (in the
Municipal Act), but it wasn't."
Brenner says he may re -visit
the issue in the future, 'but
only if I get the support" from

In the meantime, Brenner
adds, the guiding rules for in -

Historic house sets green
light for construction
Claremont builders
Karsten Smith and Don
Bennet were granted their
wish Monday night by
Pickering Council, paving
the way for the re -birth of the
h i s t o r i c
Campbell/MacPherson
House.
Smith and Bennet,
required to painstakenly re-
build the 150 year-old home
(uprooted from its former
Lynn Heights Park home in
June), asked for two irregular
requirements from council
before starting construction,
including a building permit
for the house before submit-
ting a subdivision plan. They
also wanted an extension of
the one -foot road allowance,
giving them access to a par-
cel of land they will acquire
to the south of the
Campbell/MacPherson lot.
The requests fly in the face
of normal zoning require-
ments, and to complicate the
issue further, Smith and
Bennet (through Victorian
Homes) do not own the
lands. They have, however,
an option to buy the lands
from trustees Schwartz
Levitsky Feldman.
Smith said the approvals
are needed to allow the his-
toric house to be built this
year. Extending the road
allowance, he explained last
week, will allow him to drum
up the financing for the pro-
ject.
The builders did grant one
concession to the town: thev
agreed to grant title to a
watercourse (and ten metres
on each side) in the north end
of the land parcel to
Pickering.
PACT -there's methane in their
madness
by Glenn Hendry
The countdown for the
transfer of garbage from
Brock North to Brock West
has begun, but PACT wants
Metro and the Town of
Pickering to go back to the
drawing board before lift-off.
PACT chairman Dave
Steele, in a letter to the town,
says the action plan provided
by Metro raises more ques-
tions than it answers and
"does nothing to protect the
people of Brock West."
Steele says his organiza-
tion is especially concerned
about the presence of
methane gas - which Metro
acknowledges is in both
dumps - claiming gas moni-
toring at the two sites will

PACT is also re -iterating
their belief that a full envi-
ronmental assessment be
implemented before any
garbage is dumped on Brock
West.
PACT wanted to be part of
the negotiations for the waste
removal, Steele adds, but
refused to sign a gag order
restricting the organization
from speaking publicly
about the issue.
The Town of Pickering,
Steele notes, did sign the
order.

uled date for the removal of
275,000 tonnes of waste
from Brock North to its sister
dump, which officially clos-
es November 30.

Helpful hints on making any move a smooth move
by Paddy Bateman
If you don't watch out when it
comes to finding, selecting,
contracting and paying a mover,
odds are you're going to spend
some time being upset.
Between regulation, de-
regulation, government cutbacks
all across the land and a mish-
mash of federal and provincial
rules that relate oh -so -tangentially
to the business of household
moving, there's not exactly a
whole bunch of people out there
watching out for your interests.
Does this mean you're.
unprotected? No.
Does it mean you'd better
watch out"? Yes.
"In almost every case I can
remember, a problem with a
household move started small and
got bigger," says Allied Van Lines'
Mike LeSage.
"Most problems are
manageable," he adds, "when
they're clear cut and
straightforward. A good example
is breakage. You arrive at ,:our
n,cw home and a favourite chair's
got a broken leg. It's trouhlc,oinc
perhaps, and ma,: he r , en :,
frustrating, but it's something that
can be resolved if the appropriate
steps have been taken beforehand,
and everyone remains calm.
"Unfortunately, that's not
always the case. Usually, someone
gets mad, then someone else gets
defensive, and then tempers flare.
That's when a problem can
become unmanageable."
The frustration (and the
tempers) usually begin to escalate,
says LeSage, when people get
angry with their mover and try to
find some outside agency to watch
out for their interests and provide
some protection. Sometimes they
even call lawyers in, which only
adds fuel to the fire, not to
mention expense.
"All consumers have legal
protection when dealing with
movers," reports LeSage, "but the
type and level of protection can
vary widely from province to
province, and you can't he sure of
where you stand unless you ask."
And what should you be
ask ing ... arid who'
"The first thing to do is ask
yuc,11"m atx.ut :our rno%cr bet,vc
says. "And don't just ask the
company. Check with the Better
Business Bureau: ask for and call
references; question colleagues,
friends and neighbours who've
moved recently. If it's a company
transfer, ask the person who's
handling the move at your
business. This isn't a time to be
shy; it's everything you own that's
being put into someone's hands."
Have your questions written
down when it comes time to talk
to the company who's handling
your move, suggests LeSage.
Don't rely on memory, and make
sure that you get clear, simple,
straightforward answers. Ask for
details: ask for proof. You may
feel like you're being picayune
about the whole thing, but if you
don't ask in advance, you can
hardly complain later.
"If you don't understand the
contract," says LeSage, "have the
person representing the company
go through it with you. Line by
Line, if need be. There's
absolutely nothing wrong with
wanting dear explanauens, and
most r.,putahlc ,ompanu
oriented people who cross all the
is and dot the i's. They're much
less likely to rebound with
complaints after the job's done.
"If you do have a problem with
your move, complain first to the
customer service department of
your mover," says LeSage. "If you
get no satisfaction there, write or
call the marketing director or the
president. The last thing any major
mover wants is unsatisfied and
unhappy customers running
aiound complaining about the
service they received. That's the
kind of bad word-of-mouth that's
incredibly difficult to repair."
If you don't get satisfaction at
the company level, your next step
should be the Better Business
Bureau and your provincial
Ministry of Consumers Affairs. If
they can't help you, ask who can
Be tenacious, and stick to your
guns. If you're right, you'll get
your problem solved.
LeSage also points out that the
bigger the company, the more
likely it is that ar.v problem will
he resolved at the company level.
7hce have more !ose than
77allcr, one -0" :ay?Ic-!fllCk
companies that sometimes start up In the end, it all comes down to
and go out of business within the the words "ask" and
same month.
"A national van line like Allied
or any of the other majors makes
its reputation and money from
being a solid, reputable business.
Thev have a lot at stake, and most
have spent great amounts of time
and money in building their
reputations. They know that if that
reputation's damaged by an
unsatisfied customer, it's
eventually going to hit the bottom
line, and nobody's in business to
lose money."
Ask all your questions
beforehand, and don't worry about
how many of them there are. It's
your possessions and your money:
that lets you make a lot of the
rules. _
If your mover doesn't holo up
to promises or expectations, tell
on them. Tell everyone you can
think of who might he able to help
you, and most assuredly tell the
company's management. You see,
it's their personal reputation that's
-►t stake too.

Environmentally friendly auto maintenance
Besides helping the envi-
ronment. a properly main-
tained and operated vehicle
runs more efficiently, is safer. The following tips can put you Keep your engine tuned -up
and should last up to 50% on the road to environmental- - a misfiring spark plug can
longer. says Car Care Canada. ly conscious car care. reduce fuel efficiency by as
much as 30%. Follow the ser-
vice schedules listed in the
owner's manual. Replace fil-
ters and fluids as recommend-
ed. You'll help cut down on
air pollution too.
Check tires for proper infla-
tion. Underinflation wastes
fuel - the engine has to work
harder. Wheels that are out -
of -line (as evidenced by
uneven tread of vehicle
pulling) also rob energy. And,
properly maintained tires last
longer, meaning fewer scrap
tires have to be disposed of.
Do-it-yourselfers should
dispose of used motor oil,
anti- freeze/cool ani. tires, and
old batteries properly. Many
repair facilities accept these
items. Or call your local gov-
ernment for recycling sites.
Never dump used oil or anti-
freeze on the ground or in
streams.
If you are not a do-it-your-
selfer, find a good technician.
Ask fiends and associates for
recommendations. Check the
shop's reputation with your
local consumer group.
.Keep your air conditioner in
top condition and have it ser-
viced only by a technician cer-
tified competent to
handle/recycle refrigerants.
Air conditioners contain CFCs
- gases that have been impli-
cated in the depletion of the
ozone layer: These gases can
escape during improper ser-
vice and repair, so it is impor-
tant to choose a qualified tech-
nician.
Good driving habits are also
important. You can get the
most out of your vehicle while
minimizing environmental
damage. Here are some fuel
saving tips:
Observe speed limits.
Mileage decreases sharply
with high speed.
Drive gently. Avoid sudden
accelerations and jerky stop -
and -go actions. Use cruise
control on open highways to
keep speed as steady as possi-
ble.
Avoid excessive idling.
Shut off the engine while
waiting for friends or family.
Today's vehicles are designed
to "warm-up" fast, so forget
about those five-minute
warm-ups on cold winter
mornings.
Remove excess items from
the vehicle. Less weight
means better mileage.
Plan trips. Consolidate
daily errands to eliminate
unnecessary driving. Try to
travel when traffic is light to
avoid stop -and -go conditions.
Join a car pool.
Remember, how your car
ruins, how you drive it, and
how its fluids, old parts, and
tires are disposed of affects
our environment.

OMB awards in o win
by Glenn Hendry
Pickering's west -enders may
soon be able to shout BINGO!
after the town and other sup-
porters of a 600 -seat bingo hall
earned a victory at the Ontario
Municipal Board (OMB).
The hall, proposed by Top
Rank Bingo at Bridgepoint
Centre in the Dixie/Kingston
Road area. was approved by
council last August. But the
Liverpool West Community
Association (LWCA) appealed
the decision, citing incompati-
bilities with the neighborhood
and Pickering's district and
community plans.
"In planning terms, it would
sterilize the area." said Carol
Bamford of the LWCA recently.
"Bingo is traditionally in indus-
trial 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."
But the OMB dismissed the
organization's arguments, not-
ing that the LWCA "interpreted
the policies of the district and
community plans too narrow-
ly."
C.A. Beach, who rendered
the decision, also disagreed
with LWCA lawyer Adam
Brown, who argued that a bingo
hall does not meet the industri-
al/commercial requirements
demanded in Pickering's Town
Centre West Urban Design and
Land Use Study.
"Bingo, in my view, does
qualify as a commercial/recre-
ational activity," Beach said.

The hearings were tinged
with controversy because of
questions of who was funding
the LWCA's appeal. Brown has
represented Bingo Country - a
rival of Top Rank - in the past,
and two cheques issued by
