He suggests a future public boat launch could he placed directly on the lakefront instead of the bay. However. says the mayor. if the consultation process indicates the public wants a boat launch in the new, park. there'll be one. Pickering Council gave its final approval recently to an agreement with the NICt- ropolitan Toronto and A Region Conservation Pickering Authontv under which the authority would buv the shoreline portion of the property for $250,(X)), for development of a water- front trail. Both the Town and MTRCA would he granted easements u-�cr the other's property so, for example. peo- ple using the Town's park would have access to the shoreline. The MTRCA purchase was condi- tional on approval from the Province. If the Province doesn't agree to the pur- chase, Pickering would be able to buy the proper on its own for $9(X).M). So far, there has been no approval from the Province. The land being purchased is 2.5 acres on the cast shore of Frenchman's Bay near the bottom of Front Road. It's the site of the nc?w-bankrupt Keen Kraft Marina, also known as Port Pick- cnn_ 'Marina. At the Council meeting where the agreement with the MTRCA was approved. Janice Frampton of the Taxpayers Coalition of Pickering and Aja\ urged the Town to back out ol' the entire deal for the land. "W'c bclie\e this kind of StiERRS SENAS bad deal for expenditure at this time is ill-advised." she said. main- taining residents don't want their taxes increased or scr- viccs reduced to pay for the new park. Howeycr. Manor Arthurs 'old her the purchase would- n't affect taxes or services because the money for it would come out of the capi- tal reserves set aside for parkland acquisition. Ward 2 local Councillor Sherry Scros continued to oppose the agreement with the NITRCA. charging it was "a had deal for Pickering taxpayers." She suggest- ed the agreement wa% too) "sweet" in favor cit the %1TRCA and should be rejected. leaving the Town to simply purchase the land for $9(X),(XX). Town solicitor Penin Wyger told councillors Pickering was obligated under the agreement it signed with the owners of the land "to act reasonably" in pursuing the sale to the MTRCA. "I believe it's too late at this point in time to turn hack," she said. Oldman commends plan FROM PAGE I collected and put into a pex)i, called the Ontario Education Oplx>rtunit% Fund, which would distribute the taxes and provincial grant.% to schcx)l boards using an allocation formula baa%W on student needs. Mr. Crombie says this will bring equi- ty to education in Ontario. This mo%e would see more money flowing to cash- strapped separate, rural and northern Ontario school boards and take more money from public boards in larger cities, such as Metro and even Durham. Ruth Ann Schedlich, chairman of the Durham Board of Education, says Mr. Crombie's earlier proposal concerning education funding and tax pooling would have meant a loss of $10 million for the board. While board staff haven't had a chance to investigate this latest sugges- tion, it might mean a similar loss, she says. '"Brat's a big cash grab," she says. "Where do you make up that shortfall?" Mr. Oldman says some boards in Toronto have 50 per cent more to spend on their students than his board does. In order to get education equity, the taxes have to be pooled, he says. While education would still be financed by local taxpayers, the Province would set the industrial and commercial tax rate and also that for residential tax- payers. Residential taxes would be col- lected by municipalities and sent directly to school boards which could also raise another five per cent from the property tax hase titrs Schcdhch says the fact that the Province would set the rate takes more control away from local trustees. Other new recommendations from the panel include: -- placing GO Transit under the direc- tion of the soon -to -k --created Greater Toronto Services Board. -- less emphasis on GO bus service, the privatization and contracting out of bus services by spring 1999 and more focus on GO rail service in terms of long- term planning and investment. -- Province to fully fund all mandato- ry public health programs, which are now funded 75 per cent by the Province and 25 per cent by municipAities. -- municipalities to take over full funding of local libraries with the power to institute user fees but not for the bor- rowing of reading materials.

Durham police get tough on domestic abuse BY STEPHEN Sw w 1 II(HAAI ti rAF-t- Durham Regional Police have adopted a new policy dealing with domestic vio- lence aimed at preventing victims of spousal abuse f rum "slipping through the cracks." The policy adopted in November recognizes in wnt- ing the need to combat "the serious and prevalent proh- lem of spousal assault and spousal incidents within our community." The new protocol requires officers to file a written police report after every domestic call - regardless of whether an arrest is made. Previously, reports were generally only written following an arrest. Under the policy, victims in all domestic incidents to which police are called (again, regardless of whether Charges are laid) receive a "follow-up call" within a week after the incident from the force's Victim of Crime Unit (VCU) or designated spousal support officers. In cases where there is an arrest, the call is made to inform the victim "what hap- pens next, whether their spouse has been released and to answer any questions about the court process," explains Sergeant Grant Arnold, VCU supervisor. the policy also obligates police to send victims a copy of the accused's release docu- ment, which lists the condi- tions of their release from custodv while awaitmL, trial. In domestic incidents in which no arrest is made, "we call to make sure everythine is all right, answer any ques- tions the victim may have and just to let them know we are there for support," Sgt. Arnold says. Non -arrest incidents are kept on file as police informa- tion so officers have access to the "address' history" in the event of future domestic calls, Sgt. Arnold says. Often in cases where no charges are laid, a victim is too afraid to speak with police at the time of the inci- dent. However, since the pol- icy has been in effect, several follow-up calls have led to victims "speaking up, open- ing up," leading to a spouse's arrest, Sgt. Arnold notes. "If we can prevent anoth- er assault from taking place as a result of this policy, then we've accomplished a lot. If a single call-back encourages a victim to move out of an abu- sive situation, then we've accomplished a lot," he says. "This will hopefully make it so people don't slip through the cracks in the future." Nand Bcnson, seen in a photo taken late last ,,car a i;h her daughter Akaysha, lost her battle with cancer last Friday. Communities around Durham Region rallied around the woman in her quest to take :okay sha to Dis- ney World before she became too ill.

Now. suburbia is rapidly encroaching and the residents sav a succession of govern- ment development plans over the Nears have turned their initially idvllic rural existence .nto an Orwellian nightmare. The fne-acre parcel Mrs. Barber and her husband pur- _hased in 1959 on Finch just nest of Rosebank. including a house built in 1,1,47, was zoned rural residential at the time. Though the% were voum-, then. the Barbers con- sidered that when the-, hit retirement are and if there was a need. theN could sever their propem into three or tour lots and sell some of it, as the zonms then allowed. But it was not to be. First. the hv_ deo condor south of their property was expanded when the Pickering Nuclear Generation Station was built and again when the Darhnston nuclear plant uas brought on line. O%er the years, a pipeline which now carries natural gas was also brought into the neighbor- hood. a-, ucll as the York - Durham trunk sewer, a fibre optics cable under the exist- ing rail line and a water tower. In 1972 the Pro%rnce came alone and wanted to expropn- ate the Barber land fur a city Waiting may be over soon, says councillor PiCKERING — NVard 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, who represents the residents of the Rosebank Road/Finch Avenue area, says he is "sympathetic" to their concerns about being trapped by planning desig- nations. And, he is opti- mistic many of their prob- lems will be solved in the near future. "We'd definitely like to resolve the situation that's been imposed by previous planners," he says "Because the Official Plan is a living document, change is evolution. I foresee that (wildlife) corridor being removed and those proper- ties being put back into the control of the property own- ers... Solutions for the neigh- borhood's problems have been such a long time corn- ing, says the councillor, because the normal plan- ining process had to be PIlowed to take its course. to serve the new Pickering airport the federal govern- ment was supposed to build a bit farther north. There was no expropriation in the end and the airport still hasn't been built, but the area was to No- kept undeveloped in case it was needed for the airport. In 1974 it was rezoned "open space system", so that 25 acres would be needed for a new lot to build a house on. Since then, provincial maps have continued to show Mrs. Barber's and others' properties in the area as being provincially -owned even though the expropriation process %vas never completed. That is one reason. Mrs. Bar - her bclic%cs. the area has become a kind of dumping ground for utilities, roads and other community facilities. She has tried. without suc- cess. to get the maps changed. In 1976 Durham Region decided the neighborhood would he the right place to run an extension of Rossland Road to Finch Avenue through and pencilled it into the plans. The new- connec- tion would run right over where the Barber house sits. Even though both the Pro%ince and Pickering nor.% officially oppose the Ross - land extension. notes Mrs. Barber, it remains in the Regional Official Plan. hhey'%e still got Finch Avenue going through my dicing nx)m.' The residents thought their situation would get at least somewhat beater in the early 1990% when both the Region and the Town moved toward designating the area urban residential again. But now the Town of Pickering has come along with a new• draft OtT- cial Plan and de%ignated the newhborho od, including all of the Bart -"--r land. as pan of a 'Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Comdor'. at the same time as much of it has been zoned urban residential. The wildlife corridor des- ignation would require an environmental study before any significant development could take place. The residents don't under- stand how urban residential zoning and a wildlife corridor can exist in the same place. Nor do they understand why an area full of pipelines and hydro lines would be desig- nated as a wildlife corridor in the first place when there are lots of provincially -owned and still -rural lands to the north that could serve as a link for wildlife between the Rouge and Duffins Creek areas. What they do know, how- ever, is that their properties have been practically impos- sible to sell for many years because no one wants to risk putting money into land with such an uncertain future. That includes the residents them- selves, who are reluctant to spend money upgrading their homes and properties because they fear it will be money thrown out the window. The residents also resent the fact they haven't been consulted on the various things that have been done to their neighborhood over the years. "We look at (the corridor) as just another way of putting us into limbo for another 20 years," says Mrs. Barber, not- ing no study has ever shown it would he a feasible route for wildlife. Iris Holmes, who lives on Rosebank Road just north of Finch, has the Region's road and Town's wildlife corridor going through her property as well. She bought her place 30 years ago and has been through most of what Mrs. Barber has. " i don't know why they don't use the land they own instead of coming over ours," she says of the latest plans for a wildlife corridor. Mrs. Barber planned to take her case: and that of her neighbors before Pickering Council on Monday night, as the Town was preparing to finalize its nc%% Official Plan.

Lions Club helps Ajax woman BY KEITH GILLIGAN STAFF kF.POKrEk AJAX -- A rare eye disease took away Ruth Skinner's sight, but a comput- er bought with financial help from the Ajax Lions Club is giving some of it back. Mrs. Skinner has Mooren's eye dis- ease, which is an ulceration of' the cornea. "The only thing I can compare it to is when someone gets rheumatoid arthritis. the lining of the Joints is eaten away by the body. The body turns on itself. It's the same with Mooren's. The boozy turns on itself, eating away the tissue. Why. they don't know," Mrs. Skinner says. "1'm the only person in Canada with it." She has "light appreciation", meaning she knows when there's light in a room, such as when it comes through a win- dow. While Mrs. Skinner can't see, the printed word is again part of her life thanks to the new computer she received on Dec. 4. Among the features that came with the computer is software that 'reads' printed material and hardware that says it. A scanner inputs the material. Job Access With Speech software reads it and the DECtalk Express voice synthc- sizer sans it. The price for the computer came in at almost $11.2()(), with the Ajax Lions Club picking up about S -3.22(x). The remainder was paid through the federal government's Assistive Devices Pro- gram. "The computer is giving me access to written material I didn't have b(,fore. That one aspect is a boom to me. A lot of material comes in to the house and peo- ple can't read it all to me." Mrs. Skinner notes. "It's enabling me to access a num- ber of people. There are 50 to fit) people over the years I've kept fairly regular cor- respondence with. I'm heavily involved in my church and it helps me correspond with people I need to." Another way she's used the computer is to help her seven-year-old daughter learn reading. "It's opened up a new world, a world taken away and it's gradually given back.' Mr. Skinner says. "I can read books. It wouldn't he easy to read a long b(x)k on it. I have read magazine articles and it's very gooxi on it. I'm trying to keep up on the world of music and there's a magazine on that. There's also a magazine for my church." A did read a sho„ ;tory boxtk and it went well." She can also get recipes through the computer. Mrs. Skinner has spoken to the Ajax Lions Club since getting the computer and says. '" vty favexite word is over- whelmed. fm overwhelmed by their generosity and how much it's done for rete... Lions club member Bob Rowland .says of Mrs. Skinner's request for fund- ing help. "We. as Lions, really took this on. We really wanted to help and we did. I'm really touched by this." Her "story touched all our hearts in the Lions Club. This is one of the things we're pretty strong in and that's the blind, right from Helen Keller," Mr. Rowland adds. -Me money came from road tolls the club holds each March, a carnival it hosts in the spring and from its weekly bingo. Her family physician. Dr. Carmen Price, suggested she approach the Lions club for help in buying the computer. She wrote a letter to the Lions in Sep- tember and the computer was delivered in December. Prior to contracting Mooren's in April of 1993. Mrs. Skinner hadn't had a prob- lem with her eyes. Her right eye was affected first and by November of 1995, she'd lost her sight. The disease has also "changed the actual physical look of the eyes. There's a thinning of the eye wall. I don't see and I have to be careful I don't bump my eyes. You don't realize how often the eye is humped," she says. People often ask her if a cornea trans- plant could be done, but Mrs. Skinner says such an operation "requires a strong eve wall and I don't have that. At this time, there's nothing that can he done. unfortunately." Since losing her sight. lis Skinner has had "extensive rehabilitalmn at the Durham centre for the CtiIB Canadian ,National Institute for the Blind) I had mobility instruction, how to use a cane to get around. I can get to the store and to the girls schoxil. I can do all the things a mom does." �_ 711 1981 MOAXtRCH , F996 KIT xF. is k y� coRv� CLASSIC FOR THE SAME PRICE AS LAMINATE COUNTERTOPS!

In a 1995 sur -.e% of home workers funded by Canada Alortgagc and Housing Corporation, it srgmticant 27 per cent of respondents indicated they had considered moN ing because of a need f'or more space or more separa- tion between home and work acti%i- tres. or because their house did not match their business image. A nwjority of respondents had ren- ovated their homes to accommodate work space. Thirty per cent renovated or finished existing rooms. 24 per cent added a new room, and 23, per cent erected doors or walls to better dctrnc their work area. Despite the modifications. however, many of those surycycd still complained about a lack of adequate storage space and it too -.mall, unsuitable layout for working. In response to the trend towards home-hased work. today's home - builders are turning their attention to the business needs of purchasers. while remaining committed to pro- xiding li%ahle fantilN spaces. For- ward -thinking builders arc either including a designated home office space in the design of their latest homes or are making it easier to con- vert an extra bedroom or basement space into a Aorkin,, environment. Some builders are moving- away from the concept of the combined li%- in, and dinm- room in favor of a great room at the hack of the house. encompassing kitchen, dining and entertainment areas. This frees up the front parlor for use as a private office. Because this room is situated so close to the front door, the scl-up works well for those entrepreneurs or etrrplo%ces who need to meet with clients or deal y; with couriers.

Even goad -looking track lighting'would traditionally nut he thought of as an option for it parlor or spare bedroom, but it certainly ensures the room can do double duty as an office if need he. And lots of extra electrical outlets arc usually included to ensure that appropriate task -specific lighting needs can he mct. To accommodate all the equipment used by home-hased workers, such as personal computers, scanners, print- ers, modems and fax machines, extra phonclines in new homes are do rigueur. Fibre optic and co -axial cable lines arc also being run into some homes in anticipation of future applications. One particular commu- nity in Newmarket even offers pur- chasers Internet access, interactive television, information sharing between computer and audio -video systems, and video -conferencing capabilities. If you think you might be- working from home full-time one dav, or if you just like to gel paperwork out of the way in the evenings. it might make sense to consider buying a house with home office potential.

British Columbia urban starts reached 26,900 units 'In November, a 47 per cent increase over the previous kmonth. Single starts were up, but most of the increase was in multiples. This segment benefited from greater construction in both condominiums and rental units. Urban starts in Quebec rose 26.1 per cent to 20,300 units in November, Both single -detached and multiple markets improved. Multiples were much more active as condominium starts picked up across the province and rental starts increased in the Montreal area. Starts in the Prairies increased 32.6 per cent to 18,300 units in November. Higher starts were recorded in all provinces but a greater number of rental starts lifted the Alberta total. In the Atlantic region, starts rose by 24.1 per cent to :`16,700 units in November. Gains in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were offset by losses in Newfound- land and Prince Edward Island.
