Each plan divides the downtown area into three distinct "precincts" — the "cultural" Harwood/Bayly precinct; the "commercial" Harwood/Kingston Road Image. All will go under the knife as part of an ambitious attempt to redesign and redefine the town's downtown core. Nothing, except the location of the council chambers, is considered untouchable. Exactly what the Ajax of the 21st century will look and feel like is still being determined, but one thing is clear: The town whose current slogan states it is "Better Than Ever" thinks there is still considerable room for improvement. "We need a downtown," says business development manager Doug Lindeblom. "We aced to create that focus for the community. that sense of place, that feeling that you are somewhere.- Lindeblonu unveiled three concept plans for the "new precinct; and the Harwood Link precinct which connects the cultural with the commercial centre. Each plan also proposes sweeping changes to the existing road and building patterns. Focusing on the Harwoo"ayly area. Lindeblom diagnosed an "incomplete. disjointed road pattern" that lacks the "good road linkages that are found in other downtowns." Possible remedies for the problem include the aligning of Hunt Street and Kings Crescent to create a new east -west route across Harwood, and the extension of Kitney Drive north of Bayly to provide an alternative north -south route to and from the area.

For example, the ill-fated Verona Mall site is once again on the front burner, this time as a proposed residential complex. New housing will completely revamp the appearance of the main intersection, as well. The town hopes to have new low-rise residences in the six story range closer to the street and keep any new high-rises further back. This doesn't mean, however, that residential construction won't have an effect on existing retail facilities. Even town futures such as Harwood Place Mall and Ajax Plaza, which have defined the townscape for years, may be transformed or even replaced. "The current configuration of Harwood Place Mall goes against a lot of what is planned," says Lindeblom. Several council members Ajax by David Bojarzin Although the title of a recently published local history calls it "A Town Called Ajax." town council has decided that, for international marketing purposes, the name "Greater Toronto Area" may have a sweeter ring — as in cash register. Council has agreed to support the formation of the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance (GTMA), an organization that will market the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to the world as a single megalopolis. The hope is that have pointed out, though, that since the private sector, not the town, owns most of the land in the study area, business must be the driving force in redesigning the downtown core. "Any aggressiveness (in redeveloping the area) would have to come from the property owners," regional councillor Jim McMaster notes. Mayor Steve Parish agrees. "We aren't going to expropriate or develop the land ourselves. It's up to the private sector to do this." Councillor Pat Brown, a member of the study team. reported that consultation with residents, business owners and developers has been ongoing. and that meetings with these groups have been well attended. What Ajax finally ends up looking like also depends on what it decides its new image will be. The town is currently redesigning its logo and rewriting its slogan, hoping to complete the process by the end of the year. The new image will become an integral part of the downtown planning process, apparent in such details as banners, street signs and furniture, painted lamp posts, landscaping and seasonal decorations. Parish has stated that the council chambers, critical in the promotion of the new town theme, will remain in the Ajax Municipal Building for historical and financial reasons. The town owns the land. He hopes that the building, possibly in an expanded form, will become more of an user-friendly ' people place" Lindeblom wants the same atmosphere for the entire downtown area. "Part of the challenge is to maintain the small town feel while developing into the 21st century." One of the proposals. known as the Campus Plan, would provide a university town feel, featuring an oval roadway surrounding a series of buildings. The proposal is thought to be viable regardless of whether or not Durham College decides to build a campus on the site. Town officials have approved the Harwood/Bayly precinct study plan. Councillor Scott Crawford says, "It's ambitious, but it is a blueprint that will avoid patchwork planning," while Councillor Joe Atkinson notes it's "an excellent piece of work and an exciting piece of work. It's a good vision." The study team is now preparing detailed proposals for the two remaining precincts and will report back to. council in February 1997. endorses Greater Toronto marketing alliance all GTA municipalities, including Ajax, will benefit from the status and recognizability of the Toronto name. What's in a name? Jobs and growth, according to mayor Steve Parish. `This region is competing against big, recognizable urban centers such as London and Atlanta. But who's heard of Ajax? We can't compete in this league. Support of the GTMA is money well spent. "It doesn't make fiscal sense for local communities (to market themselves individually)." The alliance will be a public-private partnership. In 1997. the private sector is expected to provide about $1 million, the municipalities of the GTA $400,000, and the province possibly an additional $400,000. There are also plans to bring the federal government on board as a partner and contributor. Parish estimates Durham Region will account for roughly $80,000 of the municipalities' share, with about $5,000-S 10,000 of this coming from Ajax. The town's portion will not be part of the public tax bill. Instead. notes the mayor, it will come from an industrial credit levy Ajax charges residential developers. At this point, Parish is not concerned that the GTMA may bring investment to the area, but not specifically to Ajax. `"11he first step is to get people to come to the GTA. Then smaller communities can compete among themselves (for investment)," he says. Town council has nominated regional councillor Jim McMaster as GTMA board member for Durham. Carruthers Creek planning to proceed — cautiously by David Bojares It's been 18.,years since Ajax first approved a development plan for the Carruthers Creels Valley, but town council is still determined not to urbanize the environmentally sensitive site without a comprehensive study. .The area, running south from Highway 401 to the Somerset Cove development and east fiom Pickering !Beach Road to the Audley Road road allowance, is owned by several residential development companies, including John Boddy Developments and Losar Developments — and all are anxious to get the shovel into the ground. "There's a lot of pent up demand," says the town's planning director, Peter Tollefsen. "Eighteen years is a long time to wait (to begin development)." Tollefsen notes that a combination of factors, including two recessions and a number of changes in planning and environmental policy over the years, is behind the delays. Despite what he calls "development pressures" from the building community, Tollefsen says he intends to proceed carefully with the site, which contains - the environmentally sensitive Carruthers Creek and the Ajax Warblers Swamp. "We know the public is very concerned about this area- Therefore, we are purposely designing this study to maximize public input in its early planning." _ Tollefsen admits that town staff has moved too quickly with previous projects — pointing to the Somerset Cove development as a prime example — but he insists the town has learned its lesson. "We have fallen into that mistake in the past, so this time we want to consult with the public even prior to starting the study" .With the help of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, town staff has prepared the terms of reference for the upcoming environmental study and has circulated them to the Citivzis of Carruthers, the landowners in the study area, the region, and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Town council has allowed staff to delay its next report for four days to provide more time for feedback from interested parties and will receive the report at its committee -of -the -whole meeting on October 28. Councillors fume over Monday nightTh. Original Bay News •October 23, ! 996 3 cable cutbacks by Glenn Hendry The Cable Cary may have been a hit movie at the the- atres, but Pickering's local cable company is no longer earning rave reviews with local councillors. Shaw Cable customers in Pickering can no longer watch live coverage of Monday night council meet- ings, a programming change that has councillors "dis- Imbed and disgusted." The Scarhorough-based ;able company, which land- ed local cable rights only last year when It bought Trillium Cablc, killed its live service last week, in favor of a trews/public affairs show. Shaw executive producer Mark Murphy was tight- lipped about the service cut - "I'd rattier not talk about it," he said - but local councillors were not as silent on the svh- ject. "I think we have been duped and deceived," said regional councillor Maurice Brenner. "When they took over they promised enhanced community coverage; I assumed that meant live cov- erage of council. "I am very disturbed and disgusted." Ironically, council wrote a letter to the CRTC last year, supporting Shaw's takeover of Trillium Cable. Councillor Dave Ryan, also upset at the move, called Shaw's decision "a travesty," while councillor Sherry Senis said she heard the rumors several months ago. "I was afraid this was going to happen." Ajax councillors are in a similar battle over their council coverage. Rogers Cable began alternate - Monday only live council coverage last month. - Brenner, who said Ire had received more than two dozen phone calls from resi- dents protesting Shaw's deci- sion, is angry that cable offi- cials did not contact council about th,: changes. "What is irritating to me is we designed the -council chambers to suit the cable company, with the under- standing they would provide live coverage. In that sense, yes, I am upset that we were not advised," he said. "I am also upset they are moving further and further away from the core of the commu- nity." Shaw cameras are still pre- sent in the council chambers on Mondays, but coverage is tape -delayed until the fol- lowing morning. Brenner claims that it isn't the loss of live coverage that has him upset, but that the council show will be telecast in the morning and not during prime time. "I don't care if it's not live. that's not the issue. But the coverage should be made available when people are home. A lot more people are interested in civics than you'd think." Murphy, however, said the new public affairs show will provide a "much better ser- vice" to Pickering residents. Murphy said the cable com- pany is still working on details, noting that "it's not .,Ajax by David Bojarzin Ajax council's battle with Rogers Cable to regain live coverage of its committee -of - the -whole meetings has now reached the federal level.

Jennifer Wilson, notes that although the Commission -does not get involved in the programming" of community channels, its policy does encourage the kind of coverage Rogers has just cancelled.

Regional councillor Jim McMaster. one of council's most vocal supporters of committee -of -the -whole coverage. is encouraged by the response. "I am pleased to see the CRTC has sent us a letter recognizing our disappointment." He wants to revisit the issue during the next council meeting and asked town clerk Martin de Rond to alert council if the Rogers' reply has not been received within a week. Regional councillor Roger Anderson is less enthusiastic about the CRTC's response and think., that correspondence on the matter has been, and will continue to with Pickering councillors November 4 to talk about the service changes. continues be, ineffectual. He also views the small number of letters received from the community as a sign of public apathy regarding the issue.

Are nuclear plants in quake zone? by Glenn Hendry A debate is shaking up between Ontario Hydro and a lornrrr Montle Energy Control Board (AECB) employee over the probabil- it\ of the Pickering Nuclear (i.•nerating Station brim, nicked h\ in earthquake. On one side is Joseph \Vallach, a Russell, Ont. earthquake specialist who was dumped by the AECB last November, one year after his five-year board - sponsored mandate to study the relationship between nuclear stations and earth- quakes ran out. Wallach, who spoke to Pickering Council last week, says Pickering resi- dents are at risk because the plant sits on a fault line. Wallach also believes, while admitting his research is incomplete. that the fault line is "active,"arid there- fore ripe for a major earth- quake. On the other side of the debate is Ontario Hydro, with nuclear officials saying there is nothing to worry about. Clive Alexander, an engi- neer with Hydro, says the Pickering and Darlington MORTGAGES & LOANS 91st&2nd *Lines of credit BEST RATES frank Callahan 686-6450 - 24 Hours { tiUpper Canada Funding Inc. plants can survive a quake up to 6.5 on the Richter scale. Hydro's findings, he adds, are based on 10 years of research, including the work performed by Wallach and his team in the first part of this decade. "We've found the plant, including the reactors, will perform very well in most situations," Alexander says. "We have also identified pates of the plant that meed improvement." As far as a major quake actually striking Pickering, Alexander says the chances of that happening are remote, basing his conclu- sions on the: lack of earth- quake history in the area. But Wallach s.q-s predict- ing a=liquakes should be based on more than history, pointing out that many of the world's worst earth- quakes have occurred in areas with no earthquake tradition. Wallach, who worked for the AECB for 18 years, believes Pickering has a history of earth move- ment anyway, using sedi- ment movement in Lake Ontario and local rock "squeezing" to support his cum. A% well, he points out. Pickering sits astride a major fault line stretching from Niagara to the Kawarthas. "The information that we have points squarely at this area facing a major magni- tude earthquake. This is not wild and dangerous specu- lation." Wallach, who says he is not an "alarmist," wants move research performed so residents can know conclu- sively if they are at risk. 'There are warnings out there - these aren't scare tac- tics. But we need to know if the (.sediment movement) is fault related. And we need to know if (the fault) is active.' he says. "If we find out the fault is inactive, that's a good tering." Wallach estimates it would take his fin» aNnit two years to perform most of the work. The bill for ser- vices could be as high as S I million, he adds. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said council will deal with the matter atter the AECB report is com- pleted.

We've been following, with interest, the trials of Pickering and Ajax councils as they battle local cable companies over their irresponsible slashing of live, weekly council "coverage". While at first glance this might look like politicians afraid of losing centre stage, so much more is involved in this argument that we too feel obliged to enter the fray. Boy, what nerve! Since 1975, the fat cats in the cable industry have been enjoying a luxury_ most companies can't even hope for: monopolies. Add to this, tax subsidies and funding — to the tune of about $80 -million last year — and monster profits totalling in the billions, and you have one very pampered industry indeed. This year, in five days of CRTC hearings in Hull, the government and cable industry giants attempted to come to grips with the multi-million dollar question: Who gets to deliver what through the wires that enter our homes — be it cable. telephone, direct -to -home z: iellite or other TV delivery technology? And which already overstuffed, smirking cats will come out the fattest'? Of the 235 cable community channels which service Canadian homes, few now seem willing to be guided by the original policy statement and mandate which accompanied their sweet licencing deals in the first place. In fact, many now seem intent on evolving into some kind of giant TV network of their own, providing "national" shows in lieu of local programming. Before cable TV, radio and print media in Canada had always been obliged to provide local information as a service to the public; insufficient community content could result in a licence being revoked. TV cable licences were intended to be even more restrictive, with each company providing a community channel — to be programmed by volunteers, not paid employees. In arguing its case with Ajax council, Rogers claimed that it had surveyed the public. But we have yet to firm a local resident who was included in this survey. Shaw's motive for slashing council appears even crone clouded: this company sees no reason why it should have to answer to the community at all. Whether two people watch council or 200. why should numbers enter into it? Residents should have the opportunity to watch — or not. Since it is our communities which pay for these monopolies, shouldn't our elected representatives be the ones deciding whether or not council coverage is axed? _ As governments allow more e and more monopolies to take over the Canadian print and broadcast media, it shouldn't be long before the only remaining, information outlets serving local residents will be a small handful of surviving independent community newspapers_ Hey, that's us! - # _... . . �. : - `S;rv7Z �f•..w-tom. ,,.. ..,. Workfare public forum a sham 110 the Editor, The workfare forum for public input was in fact attended by mostly union members and executives. Every speaker except five (2 welfare mothers, 2 reverends and Dr. Howse) were union executives or members speaking on hehalf of the union opinion. The few claiming independence were with groups of union people and they appeared to all be friends. It was a union function and not a public discourse. Several local politicians wandered in as they completed other duties, but provincial politicians were conspicuous in their absence. They probably knew what it was to be. Few average residents were there, but then maybe they were smart enough not to attend as they knew it also. I attended, but then I was expecting a debate on the subject. I must be real dumb.

The local board was honored yesterday as one of two recipi- ents of the Minister's Award for innovation - awarded by the min- istry of citizenship, culture and recreation - for its work with blind and visually impaired resi- dents. The library system captured a Minister's Award last year in the general excellence category. Pickering Public Library chairman Jill Foster said the board earned this years award for its pioneer work last spring in setting up a direct computer link between local libraries and the CNIB resource centre on Bayview Avenue in Metro. Blind and visually impaired residents can now access any information from the CNIB library -with the help of CNIB- trained adult services staff - with- out leaving Pickering. The visu- ally impaired, thanks to a new Zoom Test software package and enlarging monitor and larger signs - also benefitted from Pickering's innovations, Foster said.

But Rory entrepreneurism He also walks the talk. isn't walking — he's running. And it will be hard to keep up Following Sheehan's footsteps leads to a never-ending path with him. of success stories. Sheehan. a resident of Pickering :ince 1978, is committed to the belief that, "We IF must take personal control of our future." And he doesn't take 'no' for an answer. In 1992, Sheehan called Rogers Cable in Oshawa and proposed to them an idea he had for a political show. They were looking for someone with more experience and ' declined the offer. Undaunted, Sheehan used his powers of persuasion and convinced them to do one show. Rogers went with it and he's had a show ever ;ince. That first telecast evolved into the live call-in program now seen Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Currently, irr Sheehan is taping a TV show in Oshawa, called Succ•essfrd Entrepreneurs. targeted to air at the end " of the month.
