Wood is an ex -Toronto policeman and his story of Reid Bennett, who is banisbed from the conser- vative Toronto force after barebandedly killing a cou- ple of would-be rapists in an exotic Muskoka setting, is full of intrigue and mystery. Of Dead In The Water's hero, Wood says, -,I want my guy, Reid Bennett, to be the Canadian answer to Travis McGee and those other tough -guy heroes whose books you pick up at airports „ Ted Wood's success story is an inspiration to all struggling writers. It began 14 years ago when Wood was a creative direc- tor in a Toronto advertising company, communting on the GO train and devouring the escape fiction offered in the Toronto library. It was then that he wrote his first version of Dead In The Water. After cool rejections by almost all the major Cana- dian publishing houses, Wood lost heart and turned back to writing short stories. He settled into develop- ing a fine reputation for his short story writing which has since appeared in such major Canadian magazines and literary journals as Chatelaine, Saturday Night, Tamarack Review, enRoute and Marketing. He is extremely well - Approve Guards n uyi dill The 1993184 School Cross- ing Guard Program for Pickering was recently ap- proved by the Town Coutr cd, and an increase in the hotly rate from $6.67 to $7.00 was granted for the The policy accommodates the varied school hours for kindergarten and other public school children.

Sept. 14. 1983 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Better Police Work Needed One of the irritants of driving a car in Metropolitan Toron- to is seeing police cars when you don't need them .. and none when you do need them! Of course, we realize that 6000 police spread over this area in shifts is not too many. However, this week we noticed a grey, unmarked police car parked in the entrance to Morningside Park neatly "catching" motorists who came down the Morningside Ave. hill at a speed greater than 60 kmh. Of course motorists tend to speed down hills, and naturally police of- ficers who are only interested in collecting revenues for the local force use this effectively. We questioned one officer about his illegally parking in the entrance way of the part, and whether he thought he was allowed to do this. His reply: "We can do anything". Well, we hope that our police top brass are not training our cops to believe this because if so, we will have some confliction in the future. Police must obey the laws the same as the rest of us equal citizens. Inst weekend while driving steadily around Scarborough and Nath York, we did not see a police car. Funny because we could have issued a traffic violation to 50 or more cars, not indicating a turn, going through orange lights and generally doing the things which can cause accidents. It would be interesting to know just how many police officers are on duty over weekends - or do cops like to wort simply during the normal work day week? In ot>r opinion police work should be concentrated more at night and on weekends - and we don't mean jest lolling about doing radar duty to collect fines. Sales Up 36% The fact that the August market for resale houses through the Multiple Listing Service maintained virtually the same pace as m July is a good sign for September. Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Bosley said today. The 2,306 sales reported by members in August were worth $229.233.790 compared with 1956 sales in August last year amounting to $185.938.622. The August total was down 59 units from July's 2,317 sales, but was to transactions up in the central area. "There are positive signs as we approach the fall weeks in which traditionally we have seen increased activity in the real estate market," Mr. Bosley said. "People are in an op- timistic mood. The current stability of interest rates and the declared policy of governments to lower the inflation rate have probably helped to create this mood. In any case the telephones are ringing in real estate offices and there is a noticable increase in calls on real estate ads. "In eight months this year 20,78D MLS house sales reported through MLS totalled $2,127.473.418, compared with 15MB sales in eight months last year for $1,460,643.470. That's a 36 percent increase in sales, so this is already quite a significant year .. Need Traffic Lights Dear Editor, I write today, in almost desperate hope of sharing a very real sense of urgency in "Someone"very soon, to start ac- tion in immediately correcting a very, very dangerous traf- fic situation! ! I refer to the much -too -wide 4 -way stop, at the intersection at Neilson Road - Tapscott and Sewells Road! Traffic lights are definitely needed here, and I pray that my local alderman, Mr's. Edith Montgomery will especially take note ! Many children literally "take their life in their hands" crossing here on their way to the local library and com- munity centre! I have crossed alone myself, and with my daughters.

Sports Canada's Stand On Drugs Drug use by attiletes has been a concern of Sport Canada for some time, as evidenced by the support given to studies conducted by the Sport Medicine Council of Canada. The following statement was issued by Sport Canada at the final press conference at the Pan American Games in Caracas, Venezuela. Sport Canada is unequivocally opposed to the use by Cana- dian athletes, coaches, sport scientists or medical practi- tioners of any substance currently on the banned substance lists of the international sport federations or the Interna- tional Olympic Committee. Sport Canada respects the situation in which Canadian athletes find themselves inasmuch as it is known that athletes from many countries are using drugs with and without supervision by medical authorities. Nevertheless Sport Canada does not con ioee drug use and ultimately each individual athlete, coach and sport governing body is responsible to uphold and enforce the rules of their respec- tive international sport federation. Although the technological advances exemplified by the testing equipment in use at the Pan American Games in Caracas have not yet been fully disclosed, Sport Canada welcomes the advent of drug testing equipment that would permit regular testing of all top athletes during both com- petitive and training periods for the ultimate objective of eradicating the use of steriods, testosterone and related substances. Sport Canada holds the international sport federations uIbmately responsible for the enforcement of drug controls and, with the advent of new technology, now calls on Canada's national sport federations and the international Housing Starts Down Total housing starts in August for Metro Toronto and York Region were 33 percent lower than in the same month last year, according to figures released last week by the Toron- to Branch of Canada Mortgage and [lousing Corporation. Single detached starts were down 13 percent while apart- ment starts fell by 46 percent compared to July, 11M. year-to-date a year-toate basis, total starts remain 43% ahead of last year largely as a result of the stimuli s from the CHOSP program in the first four months of the year. Bob's Notes Tei rlAc Food Recently Irene and I visited the Clair de Lune restaurant on Eglinton Ave. E. just west of Birchmouat Rd and en- joyed the best sole we have ever tasted Called "F let of Sole Cardinal", the beautifully cooked sole was stuffed with lobster and shrimp and came in a substantial quantity for any hungry person like us! We also had F'r'ench anion soup to begin the tasty meal and the service was terrific and, of cause, the atmosphere in this lovely restaurant coanpleted enjoyment of the meal. Ob, the price was only $11.75. 1 Don't Know We watched the free superhanoel last weekend and en- joyed a couple of the movies, such as "Young Doctors In Love" and "Taps* both of whom we had seen before.

Paul Cosgrove said that he had reversed a decision by the Clark government to stop funding bousing co -ops - Mr. Cosgrove added that the person who was for stopping the funding is now an adviser on housing for the new Mulroney shadow cabinet. The Han. Tom Wells. MPP Scarborough North, said be thought that Cosgrove had done an excellent job as Minister of Housing at Ottawa, and be agreed with the federal Liberal about keepli boning co-operatives. War Is Hell! Dear Mr. Watson, I read with interest the letters you received concerning 'AntiCruise Testing'. It's about time we stop rattling our sabres and face the fact that, in the words of a famous soldier: 'War is bell". If this is indeed so, bow would you describe a nuclear war? No one can doubt that, in a nuclear war (however 'limited'), there are no winners. I'm not sur- prised that you like others, are "shocked at the expense of weaponry in the world". Who really bothers to find out what the real cost is? You respond to one of your readers by say- ing that "we will never have peace in this world". The issue of nuclear weaponry is that, if used, we won't have a world left. We will indeed be whistling in the dark for a very long time. Your view that "neither" (the United States and the Soviet Union) would begin a nuclear war because they know what it would do" is shared by many. Ask yourself, if they know how terrible it is, why do both sides continue to put more and more dollars into more and more destructive nuclear weaponry? You ought to fear American military might — they suffer from the same abuse of power as the Soviet Union. The example of Richard Nixon ought to tell you that. Granted, the issues are complex and emotional. One mad- man, one mistake and we will all pay for the use of nuclear weapons far more destructive than any Three Mile Island or Pickering nuclear plant might dump on us. I think we should heed the words of Dwight Eisenhower: 'beware of the military industrial complex'. He ought to know. Sincerely, Michael Harding, 11 Delano Place Scarborough, Ontario MIN IM3 sport federations to undertake strict enforcement of anti- drug use rules. Sport Canada will assist Canadian sport federations to in- stitute drug controls in Canada ( particularly if these are part of a wider international campaign), as well as pro- viding support to any international lobby effort by Cana- dian sport federations to secure tighter drug control measures by the international sport federations. Sport Canada's opposition to steriod use (and the use of il- legal ergogenic aids generally) is based on a combination of health, ethical and fairness issues. As well, Sport Canada is concerned about the demotivating effect on athletes (and potential athletes) arising from the perception of widespread drug use in sport. Sport Canada regrets the circumstances surrounding the disqualification of the two Canadian athletes at the Pan American Games, and in calling on the international sport federations and the IOC to institute stricter drug controls, is stating the federal government's preparedness to support (in conjunction with national sport federations and the Spat Medicine Council of Canada), meawres required to control the use of banned substances in Canada and in the sport world generally.

Sept. 2D. empty classrooms as a result of declining enroll- ment, Scarborough trustees are faced with the dilemma of coming up with $2.7 mullion required to build a 400 student addition to Albert Campbell Col- legiate which is bursting at the seams. The school has a capacity for 1264 students but June enrollment was 1424. These extra students were housed in 13 portable classrooms. Planned development in Campbell's attendance area is expected to in- crease the school popula- tion to 1750-1900 students within 3 to S years. Next week, members of the school board's Plann- ing Committee will have to decide how to relieve the overcrowding problem. The issue was an the agen- da of the last committee meeting but was deferred until next week because of the absence of the ward trustee, Bob Sanders. The board originally hoped that the Ontario Ministry of Education would provide the funds for an addition. However, of- ficials report now that the funding will not be approv- ed by the ministry for 1963. Board staff have presented trustees with five possible options to resolve the problem: do noticing this year in the hope that the province will come through with the necessary funding in 1984; revise the school atten- dance area for Albert Campbell; transport students to where accom- modation exists, i.e. south of the 401; take the money out of the board's operating budget; raise the funds through an additional levy on property taxes. The "do nothing for this year„ option may not net the board the required funds next year. New elementary schools in growth areas of the city have a higher priority for capital funds than the Campbell addition and it is unlikely the ministry would fund more than one capital project in the same year. Revising the attendance area for Albert Campbell would entail major changes to the boundaries of other schools south of 401 and create transportaiton casts. The last option, raising a special tax, would be a drastic departure for the Board which has never resorted to this to provide student accommodation. The most viable option may be to pay for the addi- fion the ting budget, but this might cause the postponement at other projects. Trustee Bob Sanders Pioneer Festival Sept. 17 Enthusiastic families from all over the country will flock to Black Creek Pioneer Village's 27th an- nual Pioneer Festival on Sat. Sept 17.

Sept 14,19M Bill Watt's Worlds IN CABARET: The all 'round performer is the one who can temper or expand a performance to match the surround of venue or mood of the au- dience. Two such per- formers are in action right now at the Teller's Cage in a presentation of the Neil Simon musical "They're Playing Our Song". We refer to Ross Petty and Kathy Michael McGlynn. In cabaret, performances are usually muted, played down. However ' `They're Playing" is not one of Simon's stronger works and we suggest that had that been the case here it might have failed.

SCARBOROUGH 4 BOARD OF EDUCATION A Community Partner places to go Repole and he has in- structed the two principals to go broad .. but not too broad. The result is at once char- ming and hilarious. Mr. Petty delivers some of the best takes we've ever ex- perienced and Miss McGlynn's earthy gamin look can reduce an au- dience to laughter or tears in virtual equal measure. Let it be reminded though that this is a musical and the two, ably abetted by a chorm of six, do full justice to the compositions of Mar- vin 11knilisch and Carole Bayer Sager whom they are, in fact, portraying . . more or less. Mr. Petty doesn't just sing his songs, he interprets them. Miss McGlynn puts her entire heart into every one of hers. She seems to hold back nothing. The result though is not over- powering as one might ex- pect; it's simply one of respect bordering on awe over the ability of the two performers to be so power- ful in such an intimate sit- ting. Fact is, we found ourself rather much inclined to ad- mire the performers more than the work. It's true, we repeat, that it's one of Simon's lesser lights but it's still good and a full measure of attention should be given to it. So there you have it; a good musical well perform- ed in a nice setting. Don't miss it. ON SCREEN: "Heart Like A Wheel" is going to be presented at the Festival Of Festivals tomorrow and released generally on Sept. 23rd. It's the true story of Shirley Muldowney, who is the three time National Drag Racing champion. We understand that Bonnie Bede" who stars as Mrs. Mui bwwy is being touted for .n Academy Award for performance. Well, mays. -- Certainly it's a marvel the way in which she trwisforms her sweet faced innocernce into the hard nosed darling of the hoi poBm. For that alone she deserves at least commen- dation. One supposes too that grudging respect must be paid to what we believe to be the technical excellence of the movie. The hot rod competitions seem to be well presented It's just that we continue to regard such competi- tions to be the most absurd kind of activity and simply don't see the point in mak- ing a movie about a woman willing to estrange her hus- band ( well played by Leo Rossi) to spend her life in it. CLASS: - By now most will have read the list of nominees for the Dora Mavor Moore awards to be presented on Oct. 10th at the Sheraton Centre. We were there for the announcements and have only this to say. If the awards presentations are as well presented and with as mucin class as the an- nouncement ceremony, then the people of Toronto are in for an evening of delight. We're told that tickets are going fast and it might already be too late to secure any. Still, we urge you to try. It's going to be a great evening. HIGH Cs: The Canadian Opera Com - pant opens its 33rd season this Friday at The O'Keefe with a presentation of Lohengrin. We'll be reviewing it but want to br- ing something oto everyone's attention. The scheduled conductor was Adam Fischer. He, however, has been forced through illness to withdraw from the engagement. Wait a minute though! He will be replaced by Michael Tabachnik making his Canadian debut. Naturally one is sym- pathetic to Mr. Fischer but cannot help remarking that surely this is an excellent example of serendipity. Still with high Cs, we're sorry that publication deadlines didn't allow us to comment on Airwaves '83 at the Constellation. We can say only that it was quite a show and we look forward already to next year's. GOOD TIMES: Don't forget Susan Anton at the Imperial Room. And, don't forget this Saturday at the Sheraton Centre. The Muscular Dystrophy Association is presenting a Ronnie Hawkins Evening called It's Countrytime. Dancing, a country buffet and a cash bar will all con- tribute to the good times. More than that though, $3 out of every =rl ticket will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada. Seems to us like a great way to have fun and help your fellow man as well. Here's something else to think about. We have this curt feeling that Susan An- ton might show up and wouldn't that be something !

Perhaps it's a particular kind of horn, perhaps it's a distinctive lip. What ever it is, the results are uniquely Alpert and in Blow Your Own Horn uniquely en- joyable.

There can be no excuse however for the almost manic excesses with which he has saddled Mr. Wright. James Earl Janes has presumably sufficient stature that he can ignore direction. In so doing he br- ings a simple strength to the role of Sam. Further, he keeps the play from be- ing a failure. Your entertainment dollar would be well spent just to see Mr. Jones.

Sept.. 13. The Society honoured 163 men and women who have served the agency in various ways for five, ten and 25 or more years. Metro CAS has more than 700 men and women volunteers working in dif- ferent capacities including acting as 'special friends' to young children, working with groups of single parent mothers and work- ing with abusing families. Some volunteers honoured at the gala have given as many as 50 to 60 years of continuous active service to the agency. Metro CAS President David Fuller and Ex- ecubve Director Doug Barr made the presentations, in- cluding life memberships to volunteers who have served ten or more years. Entertainment was pro- vided by volunteers representing the increas- ingly diverse ethnic com- munities served by the Society. A Chinese `Dragon Dance' was performed by the Kung Fu Institute of China and La Petite Musicale Chorale presented calypso music and folk songs from the Caribbean. Sutton Place Hotel donated space to Metro CAS for the evening which was held from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. in the Royal Sutton Ballroom. - , 111e. as. 0--"' �,"*& .2&j .7 0 O'N" Wad.

Kissing that old flame goodbye isn't the only way to reduce your oil consumption If that oil furnace is still in good shape, you can take advantage of converting to a dual energy, hearing system. Instead of replacing your furnace, introduce it to an electric plenum heater, heat pump, electric boiler or baseboard heaters. These dual energy systems let oil and electricity work in harmony to heat your home more efficiently and more economically. Operation is simple. The electric system works until the coldest winter days, then your oil furnace automatically takes over. In most cases, add-on electric heat will reduce oil consumption by up to 75%. Even more in some cases. And a reduction of that magnitude can make a dramatic difference to the total cost of heating your home. The Minim Heater The "plenum" is the warm air chamber at the top of your forced air oil furnace. That's exactly where a plenum heater is installed. So that on most days, the fan circulates more economical, electrically generated heat. The Heat Pump Even on cold winter nights, there is still warmth in the outside air. Just like a refrigerator, the heat pump extracts that warmth and pumps it into your home. Plus there's an ------_j added bonus. In the summer, your heat pump works in reverse and becomes a central air conditioner. The Electric Boiler If you have an oil fueled hot water heating system, there's another alter- native. You simply add an electric boiler. 1 4 c It's no bigger than a small suitcase and can be easily installed. o Electric GO The Time is Rigt>at Today is definitely the time to investigate the savings of introducing your oil fur- nace to an add-on electric system. The COSP (Canada Oil Substitution Pro- gram) grant will pay for half of the in- stalled cost or $800, whichever is loss, on all systems where oil consumption is reduced by 50% or more. To find out more about the benefits of a dual energy system, contact your local Hydro or electric heating con- tractor today and ask them about special assistance that could lead to even greater savings. And tell your furnace to get readv for a warm and meaningful relationship this winter. ' 'Pap • THE NEWWOOST Med. Sept. A IOU.

Don't let the prices of the perfume oils put you off. It does not matter if a pound of jasmine petals cost three thousand dollars. Fragrances come in lots of affordable forms. A bot- tle of soft cologne may cost $15.00 and a tiny travel size cologne spray can be pur- chased for as little as $5.00. If you really like the scent, you can work your way up to the real perfume. Put in an early Christmas request... or raid the groc- ery money ... or ask a friend to bring you a bottle back from Paris .. . How to shop for perfume? Whatever you do, don't stand there with your nose over the open bottle. A fra- grance does not start to live until you put it on. Spray the perfume on the inside of your wrist, wait and sniff. Half an hour after you have sniffed your wrist, for the top note, smell it again. See if anybody notices that you are wearing a new perfume. Ask a friend how he or she likes it. Three or four hours after you have checked the top note, you will be able to see what the bottom note is like. Sniff again. If you are still pleasantly intrigued, then consider buying. Perfume is like a fine painting. It's full of emo- tion, meaning, color and texture. The more you open yourself up to the whole ex- perience of scent, the richer it becomes for you. Almost all perfume com- panies make testers or tiny samples available with its fragrance displays so, try- ing on for size can be an in- expensive as well as a de- lightful pastime.

Onbrio RWIng Once again, Canadians have shown Prime Minister Ttvdeau and his followers how they feed about his policies and his Party. Even the Deputy Prime Minister, Allan MacEadnen, acknowledges that the Liberals are being spooked" by Mr. Mulroney. Not only did Mr. Mulroney win his seat in Central Nova, but a more impressive gain was taken by way of the byelection in Mission -Port Moody. This is the way a winning team starts. I feel that the results of the recent byelections are a win- dow m the outcome of the next federal election, when we will finally rid ourselves of the Liberal Government. The latest Gallup Poll indicates the worst level of popularity in 24 years for the Liberal Party - does Mr. Trvdeau really believe that his Party will recover in time for an election? We need a government which will develop constructive Policies to reverse the increasing number of unemployed Canadians. The Government should be providing en- couragement to the private sector, not totally ignoring their problems, as Skis sector produces the jobs which are so desperately needed in Canada today. These jobs are perma- nent jobs - not "make-work" employment which will last only for a specified number of weeks, and then the employees ate required to return once again to the growing unemployment lines. The private sector along with the small business sector are of critical importance in the planning of our economic recovery, and they must be allowed to survive the recession before we can afford to implement makeshift programs. With Mr. Mulroney and a Conservative Government in of- fice, they will definitely have that support. The "honeymoon" period, as some say, may be over for Mr. Mulroney and, of course, the Liberals are waiting to pounce when the House reopens on September 12, but with the support of fellow Canadians and a united caucus behind him, be shall, no doubt, prove to be the best choice in the up- coming election in 1984. „,q..

Faubert, chairman of the Task Force, says someone from the utside should be hired because none of the task force members are qualified to write an impar- tial report and city staff simply do not have the time. Alderman Marilyn Mushinski, a member of the Task Force, refutes Faubert's claim that none of the task force members are capable of producing an unbiased report and has offered to write the report herself for free. Aldermen Maureen Prinsloo, Marilyn Mushin- ski and Edith Montgomery, all oppose spending $5,000 on a report which they say can be done free and coun- cil has decided not to ap- prove pprove Faubert's request at this time. Members of the task force should have a chance to decide for themselves how to proceed with the report, says Alderman Prinsloo. If the task force members decide the money is re- quired then it should be a recommendation of the committee and not of one person, Prinsloo says. The task force, set up last year at the instigation of Controller Faubert, held four public meetings to hear about transportation and public transit concerns in Scarborough. Public response was very disappointing with less than 50 people in all atten- ding the four meetings. A total of 25 submissions from. private individuals and interest groups were presented to the Commit- tee. 3 Citizens On Committee by Gay AbbaM Citiaens will continue to sit on a Scarborough Com- mittee of Adjustment, at least until 1985. Last week, Council decid- ed not to have the commit- tee comprised strictly of politicians but rather to have two politicians and three citizens. Ibis decision was not the result of any great desire by most council m 1 t P, s to have citizen r+epreseafa- bon on the Committee of Adjustment. It was made necessary because only two politicians were willing to sit an the committee. Committee of Adjustament deals with applications for minor variances to the city's by-laws. It has a heavy workload and its members make numerous on-site inspections. It meets every two weeks. There are always plenty of applications from citizens willing to sit on this committee. Members are not paid a salary but receive an honorarium of $3,eo0 per year. The three present members to be re- appointed are L Brown, R. Lusty and R. Johnson. The two politicians who volunteered to sit on this committee are Controller Frank Faubert and Alder- man Bill Belfontaine. Faubert was a surprise volunteer since he already sits on two coamnittees as well as Board of Control. In addition, he sits on Metro Council and chains Metro's Legislation and licencing Committee. For Belfontame, this will be his only committee. This year, he has been the only member a( council not to sit on any standing com- mittee. Last December, he tried unsuccessfully for a Metro seat and a place on Planning Board Council To Hear Planning Debate Itself by Gay Abbate Scarborough residents have won a major victory by persuading their council to hear delegations on plan- ting issues. For the last two months, community leaders have been arguing to be allowed to address planning issues before a full council instead of only at the Planning commit- tee. The debate was the result of the new Planning Act which took effect Aug. 1. This act requires public meetings to be held on planning matters but allow Scarborough Council Briefs Crupi Gats CoMtraet Again For the sixth straight year, Crupi & Sons, a Scar- boraagh based company, will be salting and sanding this city's streets. The com- pany has been awarded a three year contract for 1983 through 1986 which will cost Scarborough $•$22,966. Cn p A Sons have also been awarded a contact, worth $680.000 to pave and build curbs, gutters and sidewalks along Milner Ave. between McCowan Rd and Markham Rd. Otf $10,000 Hook Scarborough Council has decided to be generous and let Donway Ford off a $10,000 hook. The company made, what its vice presi- dent Dick Fisher calls, an "honest mistake" and forgot to include in its bid for a dump truck with plow, $10,000 for the plow. Fishes asked council to withdraw its awarding of the contract to Donway Ford whose bid was about $10,000 lower than its nearest competitor. Fisher told Council that Donway Ford is a small company and could not afford a ;10,000 lass. The contact for a new dump truck has been awarded to Northtown Ford. $5,000 For Arta Scar- borough car• Scarborough Council has approved a special grant to Arts Scarborough of $5,000 as seed money for Fanfare '84, an extravaganza celebrating the arts in Scarborough - The event, to be held next year in May and June, will cost some $200,000 to put m and will draw on local talent as well as interna- tional performers. The Scarborough grant will enable the group to start formulating its pians and to hire a director. $27,000 Extra Scarborough will have to spend some $27,000 to build special foundations and supports for a gallerialwalkway to con- nect the Town Centre RT station with the Town Cen- tre. Scarborough had hoped that the TTC would finance this galleria but has met with a firm no. It was necessary for council to ap- prove the expendibire of this money because the TTC is building the station and the special founda- tions. If Scarborough wants a galleria it will have to go in now. $542,882 For Fire Dept. Scarborough's fire depart- ment equipment is going to be aurgumented with a new aerial truck ladder and two new pumpers. The cost will be $542,662. The contract for the new equipment has been awarded to C.E. Hickey & Sons. Although Hickey's bids were not the lowest, the two lower contenders failed to meet all the specifications required by the fire depart- ment. Scarborough will have to lay out an extra $32,662 than it had budgeted for the new equip- ment quipment. council the optim of keep- ing eeping unto itself the requ wed public hearing or of delegating that authority to Planing Committee. This later procedure, ad- vocated by the city staff, would have prevented in- terested parties from tak- ing their case to council. The Planning Committee will hold informal bearings at which interested parties will be heard and then make its recommendations to council. Under the new Act, residents affected by an ap plication have to receive 30 days notice before the item is heard at Council. This notification will also have the date of the Planning Committee meeting. Council has decided to eliminate Board of Control as the middle man in the process. Normally all items at a committee are screened by Board of Con- trol oo-trol before they get to Council. Planning matters will by-pass Board of Con- trol oo-trol and go directly to Council. Continue CBC Program The Canadian Broad- casting Corporation (CBC) has decided to continue the program "Reach For The Top., due, in part, to a let- ter from the Scarborough Board of Education pro- testing the cancellation. Scarborough testees felt that the program presented young students with an op- portunity to excell. The CBC decided to cancel the program because its format has become out- dated Its audience has dropped by 25% over the last three years and it has lost most of the younger viewers at whom the pro- gram was aimed. only 12% of its current audience is under 18. During the program's final year in its present structure, CBC will have a team of educators and students from across the country revise the format. The CBC hopes the new series will appeal to young viewers as well as to its present older following. Wed.

Thousands of volunteers will sponsor runners, collect dona- tions, or organize Runs — continuing Terry Fox's quest to defeat the disease from which 40,860 Canadians died last year. To date, more that 850 Runs have been officially organized across Canada, England, the United States, Brazil, West Germay, Switzerland. China, Turkey and the Srn•iet Union.

In the pet- roleum business, due to the extremely high costs of op- eration there is no field ac- tivity without investment, usually from a ride base of investors.

Aft« that date the Public Trustee will pro- ceed to distribute the estate, hav- ing regard only to the claims of which he then shall have had notice. DATED at Toronto fts 8th day of September, 1983. Public Trustee, Administrator 145 Orem Street West Toronto, Ontario arrived in Alberta in 1901 from northern Ontario where he had been a camp cook. Aggressive and enter. prising, Herron tried his hand at lumbering, railway contracting and eventuall v ranching south of Calgary. It was there that he be- came intrigued with the sto- ries of oil and gas and the seepages along Sheep Creek. He captured a sam- ple of the escaping gas and sent it off to an unclein Pen- nsylvania for analysis. He wanted to be sure it wasn't marsh gas. Once assured, he began to assemble the petroleum and natural gas rights on about 7000 acres of land along the creek. It was 1913, and the motorcar was mak. ing inroads into Canadian life. Herron saw a great fu- ture in the petroleum busi- ness, but he needed money for drilling and develop- ment. With the instincts of a showman, Herron invited two prominent Calgarians to his ranch and drove them out to the banks of the creek near the natural gas seep- ages. One was R B. Ben - VIEU. 1 P O I N T S by Raloh Bradley by Ralph Bradley At a recent meeting of the Town of Pickering Council, Councillor Don Kitchen made a hard-hitting presentation challenging the 1983 Provincial Equalized Assessment and Equalization Factor, published in The Ontario Gazette on July 9, 1963 when most municipal councils are in recess for the summer, and presented to Pickering Council for ap- proval by the Region of Durham. In the gradual provincial program whereby all homes will eventually be assessed on a market value basis, the pro- vince provides for an equalization factor for a community by taking the total residential assessment and dividing it by the total sale price of all houses sold in the previous year. The factor for the Town of Pickering works out to a ratio of .27157. "There is something Pretty rotten in the state of Denmark or the Region of Durham in this case," said Councillor Kit- chen, 'as the figures clearly show that a resident homeowner in Pickering is Paying approximately 21.8% more than an equivalent property in Oshawa." "The problem is," he confined, "that each municipality in Durham has its own assessment base, and the same basic house in Oshawa is not worth as much as a house in Picker- ing closer to Metro. People with the same basic house should be making the same payment to the support of the Region as everyone else with same type property, but under the present system Pickering residents are subsidiz- ing the regional government. Let's face it, the region is tak- ing the Pickering taxpayer to the cleaness, and it is one of the reasons we don't have the funds we need for local im- pprovements, because we are Paying out funds to subsidize Durham." "In Metro Toronto," Kitchen said. "the province has im- posed an equal assessment procedure right across the com- munity. All homes are assessed on the same basis irrespec- tive of the municipality they are in. It looks quite clearly that the province is either politically afraid to do the right thing in Durham or they do not understand what should be equitable. Their equalization factor is an absurd figure. Why should people in an identical house in Pickering as to one in Oshawa be required to Pay up to 38.4% more in total to the support of regional government when they receive not one whit more in services?" Council voted to accept the 1983 equalization factor for the Town of Pickering, Councillor Kitchen voting against ac- ceptance. Under Section 44 of the Assessment Act, every mumiripality has until November 1st each year to ask for a review of that municipality's Equalization Factor which is published in the Ontario Gazette not later than July 15th each year. Issues by Wayne Arthurs Local Councillor Ward 3 Pickering At Issue - water and Sewer Services ..I've lived in Pickering for thirty years and my street still doesn't have sewers and Town water. Why? I see that all the new subdivisions have full services... An Answer During my first 9 months on Council, this question has been brought to my attention more than once. It is a legitimate concern that needs clarification. Having paid taxes year after year and then to see a new subdivision be- ing built, with all the amenities, somehow doesn't seem fair. The primary misconception is that your tax dollars have provided the services and built the roads of the new developments. This is not the case. As a prerequisite to new building ventures, the developer must supply water and sewer services. build roads, sidewalks, plant trees and in- stall street lights. In other words, the developer is responsi- ble for providing a residential environment to meet today's standards. The cost of this is passed directly to the hone buyer as part of the purchase price. The next question is, "Well, how can we get these ser- vices?" Firstly, are the mainlines accessible to your neighbourhood? In most areas of South Pickering, they are, whereas in North Pickering, they are not, and the cost of in- stalling trunk lines over long distances is prohibitive. Secondly, do you and your neighbours want the service? Once again, the cost would be prohibitive if only two or three homes out of a full street were willing to make use of the service. Finally, are you willing to absorb the cost of br- ingirhg these services to your home? These services are ex- pensive, which is reflected in the high cost of new homes to- day. The Town can assist in the financing of these projects, but the ultimate financial responsibility lies with the benefitting homeowner. A community decision to request these services involves nett, who later became a Conservative Prime Minis- ter; the other was A.W. Dingman, formerly of On- tario, who had come west and involved himselfin ear- lier development of natural gas in the city of Calgary. Herron tossed a match, ignited the flames and pro- ceeded to cook his guests a feed of bacon and eggs for lunch over the flame. The point was made. Bennett and Dingman put up money to drill a well which has gone down in history as Dingman No. 1, the well that set off the west's first oil boom.

By George Ashe, MPP Durham West This week, I would like to discuss a most worthwhile fund- raising campaign which is taking place within our com- munity during the month of October. The United Way is a joint effort between the public and private sectors, and is very important if we, as a communi- ty, are to maintain and improve the efficiency and effec- tiveness of our social service system. For this reason, I heartily endorse the efforts of the United Way and its member agencies, and ask each of you to lend your support to this year's efforts. Members of our com- munity have been faced with economic hardships making this year's fund-raising challenge even more critical. The United Way is campaigning together to eliminate the duplication of requests for your single gift. Those involved with the United Way have farad that this approach makes good sense as it allows volunteers to canvass companies, employee groups and individuals in Ajax -Pickering, Metropolitan Toronto, Oakville, Peel and York with one team of volunteers. In Whitby, it is the Oshawa -Whitby - Newcastle United Way. In this way, the United Way can cut casts, eliminate confu- sion, and provide more comprehensive human need ser- vices for each community. A question which is often asked of the United Way volunteer is, `.Will my donation work in my commrmity?^ The response to this question is a definite "Yes". The five United Ways which are participating in the Areawide campaign are autonomous, and volunteers in each of these United Ways continue to review the programs and budgets of their family of community agencies. Contributions collected through the Areawide campaign are fairly distributed among the five participating United Ways based on an agreed formula. Yes, you can be sure that your contribution to the United Way is working in the Ajax -Pickering area through the United Way Services office which is located at 158 Harwood Avenue South in Ajax. Member agencies of the United Way Services in Ajax - Picketing include: Ajax -Pickering -Whitby Association for the Mentally Retarded; Big Brothers Association of Ajax - Pickering; Canadian National Institute for the Blind; Cana- dian Red Cross Society - Ajax -Pickering Branch Communi- ty Care; Distress Centre; Handicapped Children's Swim Program; Hostel Services (Oshawa) Inc.; Mental Health Durham; Multiple Sclerosis Society; Oshawa and District Credit Counselling Service; Pickering -Ajax Family "Y"; Suncoe Hall Crippled Children's Centre; St. John Am- bulance; Social Planning Council of Ajax -Pickering; Vic- torian Order of Nurses. As you can see from this list of member agencies. a wide variety of Pim is supported by United Way contnbu- tions. Pkase take some time within the next few weeks to think abort the benefits of the United Way which are felt by each and every one of in at some time. When the United Way canvasser asks you for a donation I urge you to lend your support. After all, "It's Your, It's Me, It's Everyone" — the United Way. many variables. There are the obviouisbenefits conve- inence and increased property values. There are also disad- vantages . The costs and the increased pressure for further development by those who own vacant parcels of land are but two. The decision, of necessity, is a community one, requiring considerable discussion and deliberation. All of the facts, both pro and con, must be presented before proceeding with the installation d these services in older established neighbourhoods.
