Pick e ring b ic k e ring PICKERING — The Picker- ing Township Historical Society has entered the fray revolving around the Pickering Museum in Brougham. The Society is the original founder of the Museum, and designed the museum concept in the late 1950's in response to the loss of historical buildings, relics and artifacts in the Pickering area due to development. The Brougham museum was opened July 7, 1961, and the historical society operated the museum until 1970, when it was taken over by the town of Pickering. The town then established a museum board which included all members of council. Since 1970 the Historical Society has had nothing to do with the museum and would like, at this time, to become reinvolved in its operations. The town, however, would still be the museum operator. According to the Society, the town has in its possession documents belonging to the society and they charge that the town has disposed of a clock presented to the society by the province, and replaced it with one that is "inaccurate". The Historical Society had also requested a copy of the study done concerning the movement of the museum to a new site, possibly in Greenwood, but council has, up to this time, not provided the society with a copy of that report. Funds rejected on grounds 'Ottawa reneged on museum PICKERING — Council has decided to call the federal government's bluff and has i voted to return more than $500,000 paid last year by I Ottawa for relocation of the Pickering Museum. The council last night ap- proved a resolution to advise the federal government it is prepared to return all funds received for the relocation, exclusive of costs incurred by the town. Ottawa agreed early last year to pay $528,- 000 for relocating the mu- seum to Greenwood, from Brougham. However, council was told last night that the govern- ment has reneged on a verbal agreement to allow the town to rent the present museum site until this fall for $1 a year. Ottawa wants the town to pay $250 a month for the site while the museum is there and the rent to be retro- active to 1975, Mayor Jack Anderson reported. The town has also com- plained that about $100,000,+ offered by the federal Public Works Ministry for expropri- ation of the Brougham Mu- seum site, still has not been paid. If the relocation funds are returned by the town, Ottawa will be responsible for mov- , ing the museum and designat- ing it a national historic site under the administration of the federal government. Councillor Laurie Cahill! termed the town's resolution a "squeeze -play" intended to force federal authorities to act on the matter. Councillor Norah Geraghty opposed thei resolution, saying she does not want the museum to be turned over to the federal government. SALEbi C �3RCH and CEI IETERY A log school on the northeast corner at Hyfield (Sale-.) was tine meeting place of the' early Wesleyan Methodists of the i•arkiza-a Cir- cuit, then in 1347 of the Oshawa Circuit. In the late 18401s John Adamson, an Ang- lican, who lived on the southwest corner at Lyfield, gave land for a cemetery. About 1348 the settlers decided to build Salem Church upon its present location, surrounded by the cemetery. At first the church was of frame construction. In 1880 it was bricked over with bricks made in Sariuel Adamson' s brickyard northwest of the church. In I•iay 1849 the Sale-m Church was finished and dedicated. Salem Church came into the Whitby Cir- cuit in 1855. In 1863 the Pickering Circuit _ was fouled, consisting of ten congregations. Y^ It was in this year that the congregation was organized at Greenwood. Services were held in the Sale- Church regularly for '+1 years. As it had no organ or any musical instrument, AleCander Brown lead the singing with his fine tenor voice. f The Salem Church was closed in 1890 as there were, the three :iethodist Churches of Greenwood, Kindals, and Mount Zion nearby. Since 1890 the Church has been used for occasional funerals and for the Annual rlemor- ial Day Service, held on the last Sunday in June. Who can tell how many were comforted, how many received a new strength greater than their own, in this one of God's Holy Places - Salem Church at Greenwood.

The provincial government decided not to provide services to the Pickering airport project before the last provincial election. A much delayed study of transportation needs in the Toronto area, originally scheduled for completion last December, and mentioned for completion at the end of last month is not yet finished and no date has been scheduled for public release of the ac- cumulated information. The study will includ recommendations for or againE the new airport and Mr. Cafi said tnat the federal goverr. ment would "have to give a long, hard look at the project" if the study indicates the need for a second airport in the Toronto vicinity. If, however the study recommends against the air- port, expropriated landowners )u can ever find elsewhere, pleas gladly lower o petition. %FN Millions to be spent p on airport site PICKERING — According to federal government spending estimates over $100 million will be spent on the Pickering air- port site during 1978. property The government intends on further spending $99,378,000 on land design acquisition, administration and costs. management and a $1,336,000 will go for and site preparatit THE BAY OF QUINTE CONFERENCE THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA REV.

It was in 1930 that Alvin Hooker and his wife Laura purchased the property consisting of a house and the old blacksmith shop. They began business with gas pumps and a car repair shop. Alvin retired a few years ago and sons Jack and Gerald (Nip) run the business. Their smart new building consists of 11 service bays, a showroom that will hold about seven cars, stock and storage rooms and a number of offices. A two -week skiing vacation at Hidden Valley, Huntsville was enjoyed by Bill, Jan, Stuart, Jo-anne and Carolyn Smith and Derek Martin. The general meeting of the U.C.W. will be held on Thursday evening Jan. 20 in the Church basement. The 4-H Homemaking Club girls will present their skit "Take a Good Look at Yourself". Farm report Durham OFA Director resigns ,,,,,, from his positioh By Cliff Robb The resignation of Bruce Taylor, a Durham Region director to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture for twenty years, was regretfully accepted at a recent meeting of the organization held at Hampton, Ontario. Bruce had run suc- cessfully in the municipal elections in early December and would represent his area on Regional Council, therefore, he felt that he wouldn't have time to devote if he remained as the Durham East director of the OFA. Bruce had been a tower of strength to the organization at both the local and provincial level and his influence will be sorely missed. We certainly wish him well in his new endeavour. Three separate meetings are to be held in 1977 to inform and better acquaint members with the structure and work of the local, provincial and national organization of the Federation of Agriculture. It is felt that many members just don't understand their organization and how it works, therefore it was decided that the Durham Greenwood news - executive would set up meetings at different locales in the region to encourage farmers and their wives to attend. Joan Fielden was the guest speaker for the evening. Her talk was certainly well received by the audience. Miss Fielden, who is one of the country's leading food experts, talked about merchandising, the chemical content and problems associated with the sale of food products. The organization is planning to hold a membership drive this month in the Darlington, Newcastle and Cart- wright districts with the help of local people who have volunteered their services and time to help the fieldman, Dan Caley. It is hoped that through these efforts the mem- bership of the local federation can be raised appreciably. T h e r e g i o n unanimously decided to support the Canadian Broiler Council's proposal for national marketing of chicken in Canada and requested, by letter, the support of the region's MPs in this matter. The meeting ad- journed at midnight.

Snow, of course, is great insulation. Tests at Guelph have shown a difference in temperature of up to 20 degrees in alfalfa crowns covered with snow, compared to those in bare ground. Alfalfa won't stand a real freezing. It kills at around 15 degrees, so snow has saved it many times this winter. Snow prevents deadly ice layering at the surface too. We need some breaks in the crop business. Grain prices have been sliding steadily in the last two years. Wheat is a good example. It was $4.35 in 1974, $3.63 in 1975, and with a drop in the world price of $1 since July, our 1976 price will likely be down to $3.25. Corn is comparable at around $2.30, and our yields here in York were down for the '76 crop. The Ontario crop was the best on record, however, with a 87.5 bushel average. With good supplies of grain on the world market, prices will just hold their own, so we need good yields to cover costs. Our estimated break even price this year for wheat is $2.78 at a 50 bushel yield, $2.32 for corn at 90 bushels, and $2.06 for barley at 55 bushels. Holstein breeders get together next week at Vandorf, for their annual meeting. The date is Tuesday, Jan. 25, and they start at 10:30 a.m. The course in ar- tificial breeding of swine is at our office on Wed- nesday, Jan. 26. Many sow herd owners, large and small, in Western Ontario, are doing their own breeding now, and it is quite practical. Our beef producers' annual meeting will be on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The emphasis this year will be on the cow -calf en- terprise, with Morley Shepherdson of New Liskeard the main speaker. Mr. Shepherd - son operates a large cow herd and is chairman of the cow -calf section of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association. Graeme Hedley will provide the latest in- formation on the beef industry as well, so it will be a good day for all beef men at the East Gwillim- bury hall.

Damage to nature trails The Amalgamated Game Commission held its annual meeting at the Pickering Municipal Building on Thursday, March 31, 1977. The Commission includes appointed Game Com- missions of the councils of Newcastle, Oshawa, Whitby, Pickering, Markham and Whit - church. The Ministry of Natural Resources were represented by David Hogg from the Maple Branch and A. O'Donnell from Lindsay. The election of of- ficers resulted in Sid Pugh of Pickering being re-elected Chairman, Harry Inkpen of Whitby, Vice -Chairman and Fred Ashton also of the Whitby Commission, Secretary - Treasurer. A publicity committee was also appointed consisting of Harry Inkpen, Joe Worona and Richard Agar. Some of the items brought before the meeting included Joe Worona informing the Commission that duck banding in the Oshawa Second Marsh is not permitted. The re- introduction of the duck banding programme in this marsh received unanimous approval. It was thought to be well worth while in the in- terest of flight patterns, preservation and management, since this was believed the best marsh in the area and that it was used by large numbers of ducks during migration periods. The Commission wish to point out that while they are in favour of duck banding they cannot become in- volved in other uses of the marsh. Proper authority should be obtained for duck banding. The Commission was informed of some cases of damage and vandalism particularly on the nature trails. While it is hoped hunters are not responsible, the members thought a code of ethics might be handed to the applicant for a hunting license. Former Judge Harry Jermyn strongly supported this step and said all sportsmen should act responsibly and keep in mind the benefits from the wise use of natures renewable resources. It was generally felt that better educatior in conservation of wildlife by both children and adults would be of great benefit. Individual Game Commissions were requested to support this program. Richard Agar spoke of the damage done to the Durham Trail. This trail was developed by students of Durham College. It runs for ap- proximately seven miles through the City of Oshawa Nat-ftra&-,1t club to hold first meetin By ANNE LONEY The first meeting of the Pickering Naturalists Club will be held in the Pickering Municipal Building on the Brock Road at Highway 2, Tuesday, April 19, at 8 p.m. Speakers will in- clude Betty Pegg (Mrs. Edgerton Pegg) who will show some of her fine colored slides of birds and flowers, and Mike Singleton of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. David Bass, head of outdoor recreation in the Pickering area, had many suggestions from those who would like to share their experiences and discoveries and express their concerns with a united voice. Dr. J. Murray Spiers will call the meeting and will advertise to invite the public. The program will include election of of- ficers and the discussion of a program if it is wanted. There are many interests, other than birds and flowers, in which residents of Pickering region are concerned. A good turn -out will be more than welcome. Pickering��� management change -over The responsibility for the property management function for the North Pickering Planning Area was transferred from the North Pickering Development Cor- poration to a new branch of the Ministry of Housing. The new branch, known as the North Pickering Land Acquisition and Management Branch, is responsible for all aspects of completing the land acquisition program, the leasing programs, the property resale programs and related property management functions. This transfer allows the North Pickering Development Cor- poration to concentrate its efforts on the planning and development of the new community. Branch staff would be happy to discuss any aspect of the land acquisition and property management programs with you. They are also available to provide advice and information concerning facilities and maintenance on the site. E32 THE TORONTO STAR, Sat., May 14, 1977 Store design helps, cash. reI _. J - r- C:- Design By DAVID PIPER Unlike many other kinds of design, the success or otherwise of a store design can be measured almost immediately by the ring on the cash register - or the silence of it. D.I.; an international firm, has its head offices in Toronto, with offices in Montreal, Johannesburg and Durban. The partners are Colin Stephens, Brian Cran- field, David Newman, Leigh Speakman, Ron MacLa- chlan and Alan Fairbrass, with Robert Chenier and Ron Harris as associates. In the new Toronto Eaton Centre, D.I. has designed more than 13 stores, which include Birks, Gordon Je- wellers, Walters Jewellers, DeWitt Jewels, McGowans of Scotland and the Quinto Boutique. What is store design? Alan Fairbrass, executive vice-president, replies that it inevitably varies accord- ing to the type of merchandise to be displayed. "For example, the fashion industry requires a very flexible desigr to accommodate the various seasonal changes. The relationship between the design and merchandise is of direct importance," he says. "Contrasting with this concept would be the design of a jewelry store. Here, the functional layout and strong esthetic identification form the criteria. With a middle market jewelry chain one uses very standard material content — with imagination — while stores sucji as Mappins and Gordons will readily use such materials as Italian marble, Persian rugs and fine woods. The quality of the building materials used fre- quently reflects the quality of the merchandise to be sold in the store and mirrors the retailer's position in the market place." Individual designers start their designs in different ways. Ron Harris starts with the "mood" he feels the store should have, then thinks about the space. Brian Cranfield starts with the space, the traffic flow, the proportions, and only then does he think of the mood of the store. Regardless of where one starts, it was agreed that in many ways design is an intuitive thing, with a multitude of starting points. Very often, several of the STORE DESIGNERS Brian Cranfield, left, and Ron Harris are members of D.I., an international compa- partners will work jointly on a design, questioning each others thoughts and decisions. This, they feel, en- sures that the final concept will be a superior one, and makes for a wide variety of design solutions in the stores they do. Of course, once the concept is arrived at, one person carries it out. Understandably, a good design goes hand in hand with an appreciative mer- chandiser. There are some situations where D.I. will develop a complete corporate image from advertising, graphics and packaging through to complete interior environ- isters ring — Ster Oft W AN cedft ny with head office in Toronto, which designed 13 of the stores in the new Eaton Centre in Toronto. ment and construction management. An example would be Hacketts, a new chain selling athletic foot- wear, sports equipment and fashion sports wear. On this occasion D.I. created a locker -room atmos- phere, with concrete block, pine, exposed ducts, warm incandescent industrial lighting and colors associated with sports activities. D.I. designs are usually a passport into any mall. In the U.S. one of their chain store clients has become an anchor store, always being offered prime space because of its aggressive merchandising and design quality. An historical look at Church Hill Dear Sir: As the year 1977 is centennial year for the village of of Stouffville, perhaps readers of The Tribune would be in- terested in some events that took place in this community one hundred or more years ago. My mother, Essie L. Hill (1873-1956), was born at her parent's home farm which was situated on the north-east corner of the ninth concession of Whitchurch Township and the Ballantrae sideroad, about half a mile north of Musselman's Lake. At the age of seventy- six years, my mother wrote a story of her life, which contains many interesting events, which happened during her adolescent years at Church Hill and also many stories as told by her father, William Hill, such as the following: How Church Hill got its iiame. I quote excerpts verbatim. When I was fifteen years old (continued father) the travelling preachers used to come riding on horseback about every three months. They always made our home their headquarters and would travel from there all around, visiting the settlers and establishing classes where they could for the study of the Bible and the worship of God. They held prayer meetings in the homes also. When they had established two or three classes, leaders were appointed to take charge of them. I was one of the chosen before I had at- tained my 18th birthday. On Sunday morning my road led through the bush to Lincolnsville one mile and a quarter east of Bloomington. In the af- ternoon I had a class at Island Lake. In the evening there was a days.

They agreed that a class in crafts would be good, so the Whitevale Good Neighbours Club sponsored the project with the aid of grants from the New Horizons program. They soon had a class of eight people learning hand weaving on table looms. arts Going Strong Soon, some of the younger people became interested and a weaver's guild was formed called the Shuttle Bugs. Carol White of Whitevale was elected president and now they have about 18 very good weavers meeting at each others homes to learn the new and various techniques of the craft. Carrie sand Ellen Beth Hobbs of Rosebank have helped a great deal with their experience and in teaching. Greenwood Community Centre with chairman Gerry Fisher has turned over two large rooms for craft classes. The idea has caught on and today there are 11 different crafts with 81 persons enrolled in such classes as harness hand weaving, Flemish tapestry, pottery, oil painting, picture framing and crochet. In the oil painting classes under the instruction of Kay Parker, there are at times three generations working side by side. Any person residing north of Con. 3 is welcome to attend the daytime classes. A pilot project in pottery is being conducted at a former Cherrywood schoolhouse. The town has provided excellent facilities and equipment. The next course for beginners starts March 2nd at 9:30 a.m. The well known artist Engelin Van-Nus Mooy is teaching Flemish tapestry each Monday afternoon at Greenwood. Only one evening class is being offered and that is in picture framing under Mr. H. Nelson of Ajax. The Green and White Crafts, as it is called, is grateful to all who have helped make it such a success. Some of those who have been active are Sid Pugh, Harry White, Milton Pegg, Garnet Dickson, Don MacLean, Lloyd Johnston and Gordon Willson. 0 s Greenwood News Municipal by-election j.l_1,v_ PICKERING — A former candidate for the local Ward 3 position on town council is trying a second attempt at win- ning that seat. Norah Geraghty, a 32-year-old Goodwood resident, will challenge former councillor Ken Spratley and newcomer Anna Crosthwaite for the vacant Ward 3 seat on council in next month's municipal by-election. The vacancy came because local councillor Gerry Fisher was ap- pointed to the regional seat to replace Jack Anderson, who was ap- pointed mayor to replace George Ashe. Mr. Ashe resigned from the mayor's chair when he was elected MPP for Durham West. Mr. Fisher had won the.Ward 3 seat in the election in a three-way New mayor j for Pickering PICKERING — The new mayor of Pickering came into the job through a strange set of cir- cumstances, and not through his desire for the job. Jack Anderson is the man, and he commented that he had no intention of seeking the mayor's office as long as former mayor George Ashe held the position. However, it was on June 9 when all that changed as Mr. Ashe was elected as Durham West MPP, thus setting the stage for Mr. Anderson's elevation to the post of mayor. Mr. Anderson has had three -and -a -half years experience on regional council, which made him the logic choice for mayor in M Ashes' view. fight with Mrs. Geraghty and Mr. Spratley, who finished third. Mr. Sprately believes his experience on council makes him the most qualified of the can- didates. He sat on council for three years from 1974 to 1976. Mrs. Geraghty has resided in the Pickering area for 11 years. She is a member of the People or Planes anti -airport group and a member of the Greenwood Ratepayers Association. Mrs. Crosthwaite, is making her first attempt at politics although she has been involved in, community groups during the 18 months shei has lived in Pickering. The election will be held Monday, August 22, and the deadline for filing nomination papers is August 2. Mr. Anderson say his main aim as mayor will be making sure thak there is a balance be- tween industrial and residential growth. He commented that if there isn't a balance then there would be a greater burden on the residential assessment. The most important project facing the town in the immediate future, according to both Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ashe, is the town centre project. Mr. Anderson stated that the centre will become a focal point for the town, something it never had before.

Recently the ministry turned down an ap- plication to amend the Minister's zoning order to create a new lot on the grounds that the lands might be subject to high levels of aircraft noise should the airport proceed. This refusal in- furiated several local councillors. "I think it's a shame that people can't get a permit when they affairs for nearly 40 years.

Council voted last night to reinforce its position on the issue after Mayor Jack Anderson reported the feder- al government had agreed verbally to the $1 annual rent in negotiatiations concluded last year. Anderson said Ottawa agreed last fall to pay the • town $528,000 for relocation of the museum from Broug- I ham to a new site at Green- wood. He said $26,500 of that amount was to pay for the land at Brougham, expropri- ated for the Pickering Air- port site. He added the gov- ernment agreed that the town would pay only $1 a year until October this year and an extension of the rental arrangment could he made if the Brougham site was still required. _ PAGE 12 The federal public works ministry has demanded the town pay $750 a month for the property, retroactive to June, 1975. Anderson said the town had received $365,000 from Ottawa only last November and before then had obtained only $62,000 under the agreement. He disputed a suggestion by Ontario riding Liberal MI Norm Cafik that the tows was not living up to its end o the agreement., "It's not a question of money, it's a question of integrity," Anderson said. Council tabled a motion to have Ottawa take over the museum to be run under the National Heritage Act.

The $100,000 was held back pending settlement of enti- tlement to the Brougham properfy to the satisfaction of federal authorities. Ottawa has also agreed to the town's terms for rental of the existing Brougham site for $1 a year until the buildings are moved. The works ministry earli- er this year demanded the town pay $750 a month for the Brougham site, retroac- tive to 1975. But Pickering Council claimed Ottawa was reneging on its original agreement for relocation of the museum.

PICKERING — If Pickering councillor Norah Geraghty had her way, smoke detectors would be mandatory in every home. Last week Geraghty in- troduced a motion to town: council calling for a bylaw that would require "all owners of family dwellings to install a workable smoke detector within one year." Although most of the councillors fel. that smoke detectors were d€:s ireable, the,• decided that people should be able to make their own decision as to their acquistion. The motion was defeated five to one.

Dr. Wm. McKay conducted the ceremony. The bride, radiant in her mother's wedding dress of ivory satin with long train and veil came down the aisle on her father's arm to the strains of `Praise My Soul the King of Heaven'. She carried a cascade of pink roses and stephanotis. Her long veil was made by the groom's mother. After the opening sen- tences the congregation joined in singing a wedding prayer hymn played by Warner Fehn the organist. Following the exchange of vows Helen Philp, Toronto, sang `Let us Break Bread Together' and Holy Communion was served to all. During the signing of the register Mrs. Philp sang the Hymn `Sleepers, wake'. The bridesmaids, Hilary Lawson, Cathy McKay, Diane McKinley, and Barbara Peacock, wore long gowns of pink flowered material on pale yellow background and carried nosegays of pink roses and yellow daisies. The flower girl little three year old Connie Pegg, nice of the bride dressed in similar fashion caught everyone's attention as she came tripping down the aisle carrying her nosegay of flowers. The groom and at- tendants, Pat Beckett, Hal Pegg, Chuck Saun- ders, and Glen Sherritt looked smart in their vested suits of light brown. The bride's mother wore a full length gown of pink silk jersey, the groom's mother a green flowered sheer. The reception for one hundred and forty-five guests was held in the C.E. room of the church. A dance followed at the Mt. Zion Community Centre. The happy couple left for a trip to the west coast, the bride wearing a grey and wine culotte suit made by the groom's mother.

Council ground to a halt Monday night when it came time to choose between appointing or electing a councillor for the local Ward 3 seat left vacant when Gerry Fisher replaced newly -appointed Mayor Jack Anderson in the Ward 3 regional seat. The vote remained the same as the last meeting 3-1 over the question. Coun. Alex Robertson switched his pgsition to favour an election. "The town comes first,#irrespec- tive of personal preferences. A smoothly running municipality is dependent on a full coupcil," he said. "In this instance we are stymied. Therefore, I move that we have an election." Mayor Jack Anderson who would have been responsible for breaking the tie said he would have had to call an election anyway if Robertsou had not switched his vote. "It is obvious to me th:$ Council cannot operate as a 6-man Council," he ,paid. "I would have called an election if the tie had. not been broken." Bob Mason, representative of the Greenwood Ratepayers Assoc. presented Council wi* a brief charging them with "personal bias" and urging them to do the "morally right thing to ,do" and appoint Norah Geraghty, who finished second in the last Ward 3 election, the councillor fo; Ward 3. Ironically enough Mason was a former councillor in the area who got his seat through appointment under much the same circumstances as Council .was con- fronted with on Monday. When asked if she planned to run, Ms. AGeraghty gave a flat "no comment". Ken SprAtley had already indicated he intends to seek election in the ward. The cost of the single ward election is estimated by Noel Marshall, Administrator -Clerk for Pickering to be between $8,000 and $10,000, almost half of what it would cost to hold an election for the entire township. Although no official date bas been announced, the most likely date is on .Monday, August 15, according to Noel Marshall.. Because it is right in the heart of vacation season, .the voter turnout will probably be one of the lowest iryhistory.

Aceau ' / Al UI S a WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1911 Itegional Council Report, by Alex Robertson To start off this report, let me congratulate our new councillor, Norah Geraghty, who won so handily the by-election held for the vacant seat in Ward Three. 1 would also like to, correct al misde- meanor, which appeared in this newspaper last week. The editorial, written in good faith, and under the policy of being allowed to state a view without interference from the owners or publisher, stated that the Council was wrong in calling the by- election. It also named Councillor Fisher as being the bad boy who fought against Mrs. Geraghty's _ appointment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; but the truth is, three members of the council would not accept the appointment route, and three were willing. Councillor Fisher was only one of the three, the others were Councillors Matheson and Cahill. Every councillor makes his or her own choice. The other matter was, there was a stale- mate. We on Council had only one choice left, an election. I made that motion. There was little point in dilly-dallying, and members of council have to make decisions, popular or otherwise. That is what we are elected to do. Today, I should imagine that Mrs. Geraghty is glad we went the route we did. She has a mandate of the people of the ward, to bring forward all the things she promised in her election literature. s 1 The councils', *regionaland local, slowdowns for the month of August have come to an end, and we start back into action again. On looking at the Works agenda for this Tuesday, it is going to be a busy year. Already, the latest decision on allowing people with swimming pools a slight reduction on filling, has brought reaction. The people in Frenchman's Bay, who have no service pipes, have to pay the service charge. The reaction to allowing the owners of pools a rebate while they pay, is rather violent. I will be taking the necessary steps to attempt to rectify this problem For those of you who are wondering what all the large excavations that are taking place on Bayly Street, Finch Avenue and North Liverpool Road are for, herd ; L oo 0 1oi a uaaq 3n18q O1 s n ssaaans �Czan a 3sncu lsgn` ao papuaux JUT enog l � isnotngo YVA l�g'e -tuoa aq o1 azann ano7 - T a$ae u-e 1Soz3 glafi si 1e aaurpuall� i -t avl zo1 uoil,0i3aadde eupp n p •luaula2urzad PAGE 12 _ PIRA ,LASAGNA — SPAGHETTI, RAVIOLI C _ BAR B,Q SPARE RIB!

WALL This fall is turning out to be one of the most difficult we have had for a long time. Wet weather has affected the last crop of hay, planting wheat, silo filling and the grain corn crop. Some wheat went in last week, but from now on we are probably past the point where it would have a chance of getting well enough started before winter. A few forage har- vesters were going last week, some with extra tractors and half loading the wagons. At this point there is some concern that the crop is too dry to make good silage. Silage going into big silos, where it packs is still alright. Moisture levels down to 55 per cent are satisfactory. Where corn is going into small silos, bunkers, or stacks extra packing and careful covering will help to keep it good. Water can be added to increase the moisture level, but it isn't easy. It takes four gallons of water per ton to raise it by one per cent. That would be 200 gallons to bring a five ton load up by 10 per cent. Fine chop- ping, and extra packing is a more practical idea. Details of the stabilization program for last year's grain corn are final now. There will be a payment of six cents a bushel, to bring the price up to $2.18. All farmers who sold corn between September first last year and Aug. 31 this year, and have their bills, can receive this payment. Claim forms will be avilable at our office. average prices over the year were above the support levels there will be no payment on these crops. With corn prices now quite low, there is almost certain to be a corn payment on this year's crop. The program will be more complex this year, so all records and bills should be kept carefully. The support prices for oats and barley were It's a very busy time, $1.30 and $1.85. Since the but farm owners and particularly farm organizations should study and respond to the Green Paper on Food -_Land Guidelines, proposed by our Ministry. These deal with policies on severances, official plans, zoning, the code of practice, and use of farm land, for other purposes. The deadline for public comment is December 31. Details are available at our office. Transportation study maybe key to airport PICKERING — The key to the future of the Pickering airport may be decided following a joint federal -provincial study on the province's tran- sportation needs which should be completed early next year.

Claremont station torn down CLAREMONT — The people of Claremont's efforts to save their train station have failed before they really had a chance to do anything about it. The efforts, led by Pickering Ward 3 Councillor Norah Geraghty came to an abrupt end last month at a public meeting to discuss the station. At the meeting it was learned that the demolition of the 93-year-old station had begun that morning. Mrs. Geraghty learned of the demolition when she started to ask a question on whether or not accommodation for the station could be made in the hamlet's secondary plan, which was being discussed at the meeting. She commented later that the town has asked CP rail to hold off until it could be decided what to do. "We felt the station had historical importance and we wanted to save it." She also said she had received great response from people in Claremont who wanted to help relocate the building which had been offered to the town by CP provided it could be moved to another site. Several people had offered property for that purpose and one even suggested it be turned into a tea room. She felt that because of the number of calls in favour of the station CP "had to do it now or public opinion would never have let them." Neu/ inquire into PickerinE, lard expirc�priatians sought A new inquiry into the continuing dispute over land acquisitions in Pickering township has been recommended by a legislature committee. The present inquiry has come under criticism_, by landowners, objecting to its "adversarial nature." The inquiry in the form of a royal commission, is headed by Justice J.F. Donnelly, and has been trying to deal with 28 cases in- volving former land- owners. The Select Com- mittee on the Om- budsman, in a report tabled in the Legislature last week, has recom- mended that the Donnelly i 'X commission be disbanded immediately. It was further recommended that a new commission of inquiry or other suitable forum be established under the Public Inquiries Act. The 28 landowners withdrew their cases last spring although the Donnelly commission continues to sit, hearing a counter -case brought by government land acquisition agents. MPP Michael Davison (NDP-Hamilton- Centre ) chairman of the select committee, felt that "to waste any more time is unconscionable." The landowners dispute goes back several years and was the first major investigation launched by Ombudsman Arthur Maloney. Mr. Maloney felt the landowners should be given more money for the land they sold for the North Pickering townsite development. "The people weren't given the opportunity to state what they wanted. The commuters them- selves were opposed to the demolition. CP just decided the matter for us, I guess." she said. She also pointed out it is not the first time a station demolition has been carried out before a move could be made to save it, and that other stations are also slated for demolition. "In Pontypool they had a station which was really unique in its architecture and the railroad company agreed to wait one month before removing it. A month later they tore it down."

Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Because their tracks reduce the yield and quality of crops, snowmobiles should not be operated on crop land. Professor Irwin says that vast open fields of snow invite invasion of private property, frequently without the permission of the farmer. But few people know that snowmobiles affect the life of the crop. For example, if alfalfa is smothered in the first winter after planting, the yield is decreased on that field as long as the stand remains Q years).

Snowmobile tracks also compact the snow, increasing the density of the packed snow and destroying its insulating value. A depth of snow prevents the deep penetration od frost, says Professor Irwin. The increased density and increase in relative water content encourages frost penetration. "The additional water content causes ice to form which in turn may smother alfalfa or fall wheat. It may also cause plant roots to separate through frost heaving." Compacted snow also creates paths for water which may add to existing soil erosion problems. Greenwood news Landowners can now re -negotiate PICKERING — Landowners who have already settled with the federal government for lands expropriated for the proposed Pickering Airport will have a chance to re -negotiate under the new "home for a home" policy according to Liberal MP Norm Cafik. Mr. Cafik, who several months ago was successful in having the "home for a home" policy extended from small lot owners to owners of 10 acre lots, won a further extension that will in - elude a house and 25 acres of land, with the remaining acreage being purchased at the market value based on assessment values as of Jan. 30, 1973.

The Town of Pickering and the federal govern- ment appear to be on the verge of reaching an agree- ment over the Pickering museum after five years of negotiations. - At Monday night's executive committee meeting, a resolution advising the federal government of Pickering's intent to relinquish control over the movement and restoration of the museum from its expropriated site in Brougham to the hamlet of Greenwood two miles away, was defeated. In its place, Mayor Jack Anderson presented a "watered down" motion informing the federal government that the municipality was willing to re- tain responsibility for the museum if Pickering was rented the site at a rate of $1. per year. This motion received unanimous consent from the committee. The central problem the municipality has encoun- tered in its negotiations is its inability to produce definite ownership of the site. Anderson explained that there were "many clouds on the title", but assured the committee that the federal government now has possession of the necessary documents proving municipal ownership. Another obstacle to successful negotiations was federal reluctance to pay Pickering the entire amount of --the mud igo erty and relocation costs. The federal -government has withheld $100,000 of the $528,000 it agreed to pay the munic- ipality until ownership of the museum site is con- firmed. Anderson said that since the federal government now has the required proof, the municipality should receive the remainder of the money and the move should get underway shortly. Anderson said MP Norm Cafik was "dealing with innuendos" when he appeared before council re- cently, accusing the town of keeping him in the dark of municipal complaints. Cafik had stated that a federal proposal to charge Pickering $750 a month rent for the site was acceptable to municipal negotia- tors led by Anderson. Anderson claimed the federal government had agreed to charge only $1 a year and made the offer to return control of the museum to them because the museum "is not a revenue producing property." Cafik publicly stated to the council that he was prepared to urge the federal government to charge the $1 rent, but that he could not remember ever agreeing to this arrangement in the past as Ander--- son said he had. "His (Cafik's) innuendos are totally untrue," Anderson told the committee. "The town is living up to their end of the agreement, but the federal government is not. "It is not a question of money, it is a question of integrity," he added. Councillor Norah Geraghty, a strong opponent of federal control over the museum project, said she was happy with the new municipal approach, but urged Anderson to keep council more informed of the project's development in order to avoid further confusion in negotiations. _ m 1: 4: 4: 4.,a l: * 1., 4: 4: 4: .... 4. 4: TI]Lun Of PiEkErinc; FPUblic Librnry :T: R E E Piz' W 0 0 D B R P IM I H .t: 15 4- :t: I n -.� i t E s y 0 U t Co- 4: P DISPLPY OF ERPFTS Mill Hu 1-1, B i ES 4-: b! y L. o c to 11 FA eS i Cj ER ri Psi 4 1 14 hUl t- S3 1-31 P L4.

Documents regarding the dispute between the town of Pickering and the Federal Government over the local museum will ore day be housed in the cause of the quarrel. Monday night saw the Pickering town council pass a bylaw that would pass the museum to the federal government for the agreed price of $528,000 once the rent dispute is resolved. The town wishes to pay only a nominal rent of one dollar per year, while the €ederal government wants the rate to be set at $750 monthly. The federal govern- ment has also agreed to pay the $100.000 withheld from the town while the deed for the land was searched. Pickering has searched their records over the past 10 years and can find no claims against the property which had been under the jurisdiction of various county school boards, . Greenwood meet at Mt.

Play on stage in Whitby Getting forage seedings started well is hard in dry soils. Most failures result from drying before the seedling root is well developed. Seed placed in a loose soil surface may germinate after a light rain, but dry out before it: really gets going. Firming the seed bed with disc harrows and drag harrows helps the mositure supply. Ac- tually, only a small percentage of forage seeds survive in the best of conditions. At normal seeding rates we put over 50 alfalfa seeds and 150 timothy seeds in a square foot of soil. So the dif- ference between 10 per cent survival and 5 per cent is success or failure. This is the last week to enroll in the Ontario Beef Calf Stabilization Program.

For nearly 40 years the church was the centre of the community with it's Sunday services, an- niversaries, weddings and sumptuous suppers taking place there. When, in the latter half of the 1960's at- tendance dropped and there was a general apathy toward the church, a faithful few carried on, struggling to meet the ever rising financial burden until it was no longer practical or possible.

At a recent meeting of the Durham Region Federation held at Sunderland the guest speaker, Bill Benson of Palmerston, an executive member of the OFA, gave a talk on the aims of the organization for 1977. In his address he recapped the remarks of the president of the OFA, Peter Hannam, and stated that if agriculture was given the proper priority in the economy it could very well become a strong, positive force in creating jobs with a future as it was a renewable resource. We have a good climate in Ontario; we possess good land and we are very fortunate in having good, solid people on the land with a great deal of ex- pertise leading to ef- ficiency in the industry. We are however, Mr. Benson stated, only about j percent of the total population of the province and although this is a relatively small number we control much of the food consumed by the balance of the population, therefore, our "clout" is much greater than our numbers would indicate. Mr. Benson cited many areas which are of great concern to the organization such as large tariffs which must be reduced if farmers are to compete on a level with our southern neighbours. Permits unrequired for farm vehicles '' 4 TORONTO — It is no longer necessary for farmers to obtain a special permit to move oversized farm vehicles along a road, if the vehicles are operated according to a new regulation effective April 1. In announcing the regulation, Tran- sportation and Com- munications Minister James Snow said that "oversized farm vehicles will be exempt from the weight, width, length and height limits provided in Parts VI and VII of The Highway Traffic Act. "We have had many representations from farm groups on the in- convenience of the old special -permit process. And I am confident the new regulation will prove to be far more practical in its application than the old arrangement," said the Minister. There will be some road -operating re- quirements to observe, the Minister pointed out. All oversized farm vehicles are prohibited from operating on any of the multilane "400 series" highways, in- cluding the Ottawa Queensway; Highway 2A in Scarborough, the Kitchener -Waterloo ex- pressway of the Queen Elizabeth Way. There are also lighting requirements. Oversized farm vehicles from 8'6" to 12'6" wide will not be restricted duriMda li ht hours, After several years of inactivity, the archaeologists are at it again. Excavation of an old Huron settlement near Claremont has been resumed this summer with the help of government grant. The site is one of the biggest projects in the history of Canadian ar- chaeology.

I would have liked to be present at the Inaugural meeting of Council on Monday, December 4th, to sep that Councillor take ti,;: Oath of Office. How- ever, I will. not be pres- ent due to the actions of Council. I received a tele- phoned personal invi- tation to join Council and a select few invited guests to a Reception, following the Inaugural meeting, which little party is to be hosted by Council - and paid for - by me, and all other taxpayers in the Town. This is not an open invi- tation to all residents such as was extended by the Town of Whithv to its residents, but an invitation to six couples from each Councillor. I cannot accept that all taxpayers should have to repay assistance giv- en in cleciion camp- • atgnl'-fb-those select few, and accordingip I shall attend the Inaug- Ural meeting and social wllel�_`*Wl event in WbitbY on December 4th.

The party bit we can understand as it would be an obvious time for a new council to get together for a bit of an informal time, but not using the public's money for it. On top of this, it appears that a few sel- ect people were also invited to join in at the public's expense. There are occasions, which in our opinion should be very special ones, when a council is obligated to do some entertaining, and when these occasions do arise, no one would likely object to the council rep- resenting the people, funding the affair from the public till. Certainly no one would expect the council members to dig down into their own pockets to pay the bill. It is this sort of thing that leaves a bad taste with the taxpayers, and we suggest that in future, and especially in times such as we have at present, that council keep a very close eye on such type of spend- ing. It is this sort of thing, even though it may not cost very much, that people don't readily forget. We think that Mr. Mason, since he was one of the select few to be invited to the little party, showed a good sense of public spirit in having the nerve to bring this to the public's attention. s, z 5£'ts MR 6W Great Gray Owl Rarebird By Mildred McTaggart GREENWOOD — A second Great Gray Owl has been sited in the area.

Nuclear generator not running yet By SANDY READ PICKERING - Delays are still being experienced in returning a generating unit at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station to service. The unit, number one, was shut down January 4 because it was leaking radioactive water. Repairs were done to the unit, which involved blocking tubes and installing lacing wire to control vibrations which had caused the leak. Kevin Keane, station manager, had expected the unit to be back in service last Friday, then Monday, but there have been some problems in getting it to work again. Tuesday morning, Keane said he hoped the unit would be producing energy by late Tuesday night. He said, "Anytime you attempt to start up such a big unit, there is some difficulty." As well as having the problem with unit one, another unit at Pickering has been shut down and still another is not working at full power. Keane said unit three has been shut down due to a normal problem' on the turbine and he hopes it will be back in service by the end of this week. Unit two is working but producing only up to 80 percent of its normal energy production. Keane said one moderator in the unit has been isolated and found to be malfunctioning but it is not so severe as to necessitate a complete shut down. He said unit two will probably be working normally by the end of the --month. L Elm -9- MA.

No one was injured in the fire that destroyed Burnett and Donald Jamieson's cattle barn, located on Sideline 4 between the eighth and ninth concessions of Pickering. The families and neighbors were able to save 25 heifers along with milk records, most heavy machinery and the milk house but intense heat made further rescue operations im- possible, Mrs. Jamieson Sr. said. Claremont Fire Chief Jack Ward said the alarm came in at 7:25 p.m. Two other Pickering brigades responded in addition to local units. Cattle Burned In Balsam Barn Fire By Tony Forde A raging blaze struck the Jamieson farm of Balsam on Monday night, and although nobody was injured, it is estimated that approximately 65-70 head of dairy cattle, valued at between $800 and $1500 each, per- ished in the inferno. The call was put into fire officials at about 7:30 pm, and the blaze was well out of control long before fire fighters could reach the scene. About twenty-five heif- fers were saved from the fire, which burned out of control until about 10:30 pm. The loss to the Jamieson family will be great though, considering the approximate value of the cattle alone is around $60,000. Dam- age to the barn and silos was not estimated at press time. Bystanders claim to have heard an explo- ;ion prior to seeing the Harries, which shot about 100 feet into the air and could be seen as far away as Pickering Golf Club. After the fire had been out of control about two hours firemen gave up hope of saving the barn and concentrated on saving the silos, valued at somewhere around $70,000, according to many onlookers. Accor- ding to fire fighters, the cattle did not burn, but were suffocated by the intense heat and smoke which were giv- en off by the spectac- A truck remained on the scene, Tuesday, as debris continued to burn. The fire chief's report estimates damage at $250,000. The cause remains a mystery. Mrs. Jamieson told how a grandson Ray Jamieson, was the first to spot the fire. It began, she said, near the top of the building. ular fire. The blaze attracted about 30 fire fighters, and even ambulance attendants from Toron- to, who were on hand to help out in case an emergency occured. According to specula- tion, the blaze may have started due to some faulty wiring in the barn area.

This figure includes a replacement car for chairman Walter Beath; meals and mileage for 30 councillors and memberships in various associations. Much of the budget is consumed by salaries — $429,030; up four per cent over '78. Chairman Beath is allowed $1,000 for gifts should V.I.P.'s come to the area. If the occasion warrants, a reception may be held with the cost not to exceed $1,000. An amount of $4,475 has been set aside to cover the cost of a new car for the chairman plus repairs, gas and oil. Urgelcommon sense,oi health standards DURHAM YORK — William G. Newman, M.P.P., Durham -York and Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, has called for "use of common sense" in applying the Food Premises Act to "the letter of the law" where church suppers and service club banquets are concerned. Addressing a Durham Region Federation of Agriculture meeting in Port Perry, recently, Mr. Newman suggested the director of en- vironmental health should "lay off those people who are giving up their time freely to raise funds for worthwhile causes." Without mentioning Dr. Ted Watts by name, the Minister threatened to take his complaint to Dennis Timbrell (Minister of Health), if forced. "All I want is common sense to rule. Sure, there are certain standards to meet, everyone knows that, but that's where common sense must prevail," he stated. The degree to which the law might be enforced had become a concern all across the province, he said. door prizes and a sale of home -baking. Congratulations to Joe Pegg, promoted to manager of the car division at General Motors, Oshawa. Norah Geraghty Asks repair of concession road PICKERING — If coun- cillor Norah Geraghty has her way, Pickering's 5th concession, extending west from the Brock Road, will be repaired this summer. In a debate over how much money should be spent and where, councillor Geraghty said this section could not be ignored even though it's part of the proposed North Pickering development. "It's one of the worst roads in the municipality., The whole situation is dangerous," she stated. However, Mayor Jack Anderson wasn't convinced the Town should spend so much money in an area that could be removed from its jurisdiction. Ray Hutchinson, director of public works, has recommended expenditures of $739,100 for maintenance and $432,000 for construction. Both amounts will be subsidized by the province. 0 0 Community Livia Morse visits Haney W.I. A visitor from Ontario, Janet Crawford, who belongs to Kinsale W.I., was a welcome visitor at the last meeting of Haney Women's Institute. Her Institute has about 15 members, and does many of the same things done by B.C. Institutes. Most of their work is done for provincial projects, such as renovating the home of Erland Lee near Stoney Plains, Ontario. It was at Lee's in- vitation that Adelaide Hoodless came to the meeting which resulted in the first Women's Institute over 80 years ago, and many Ontario W.I. members credit him with actually founding the organization.

Other business dealt with at the meeting included finalizing plans for the annual District conference held in Pemberton on April 3, a report from the Legion swap meet where the W.I. had a table, and a discussion of plans for a tea scheduled for May, which has now been postponed until the Centennial Arts Centre is available. Grace Nicholls, Kate Stabenfeldt and Marge Crow planned to attend the District conference. Special guest at the meeting was Belle Morse, in her capacity as head of the local Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) more commonly known as Maple Ridge Search and Rescue. Mrs. Morse is very proud of her team, which she described as "the most efficient team in the whole province." The nucleus of the group was an active Venturer company under the direction of Larry Walmsley. "They are a skilled and dedicated bunch now," she says proudly. They provide their own clothing, boots and pack equipment, which is worth over $1000 per man. They have an active team of 32, with a back-up group of about 75. A 12-man "lightning team" is the crack center of the group, and all are equipped with pagers. Members of Haney W.I. will visit the new PEP headquarters later this month. C-1 Birthday was a day to remember BROUGHAM — Turning 90 years old was a day to remember for Mabel Farley, thanks to her two daughters, Helen Holtby and Phyllis Madill, and all the people who attended her birthday celebration, April 18. Mabel was the recipient of many flowers, cards, gifts, and MABEL FARLEY good wishes from old friends, three grandchildren, and seven great -grand -children. Born on a farm in Pickering Township, on April 18, 1889, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George White, she has lived in the area all her life. Much of her childhood and married life was spent on farms between Brougham and Pickering on the Brock Road. However, she also resided near Claremont and attended the public school there. In March 1919, she married Jim Farley, a fireman and drover. He passed away in 1961. "I don't feel I've changed a bit," Mabel says. "I still feel like I'm seventy. 1f T -- 'd see —I d algeanp 1 lnq 1g61amIL461- alAls aagleal Pue ,u01103 u1 san016 )M aneg am 'uaw ;lojoa Pue saiAis auen e w s9n016 salpel aneq a1N Successful tea-,, By Mildred McTaggart GREENWOOD — Yellow and green streamers and floral arrangements decorated the gym- nasium for the spring tea at Valleyview school on Saturday afternoon, April 21st.

Olsen. Another co-operative effort took place in Greenwood on Saturday when about 15 of the Mount Zion and Green- wood men shingled the roofs of the manse ;and garage. A fine day, the occasional cup of coffee and muffins all helped them complete the work. Mrs. Margaret Frew was pleased to have her daughter, Mrs. D. Hitch - cox and grandchildren Susan and Jennifer of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, visiting with her this past week. Guests with Mr. and Mrs. Don Beach on Easter Monday were Dr. and Mrs. Horto of Mexico. We were pleased to welcome Mrs. Cora Patterson and Mrs. Josephine Strzelecki both from Whitby who presented the "Op- portunity Now" program of the Oshawa Presbytery at the Sunday church service. A group of 35 people, led by Rob Nisbet, went on the "Walk along the Lynde shores," spon- sored by the Pickering Naturalists on Saturday.. a - morning. Among the hundreds of waterfowl seen, 16 species of ducks were identified.

This fall, the provincially Firearms still pose problems PICKERING — Regional Councillor Gerry Fisher con- tinues to receive complaints about firearms near the North Pickering Hiking Trail, despite the ban there. "I've received complaints about people taking target practice around the trail in Whitevale using pellet guns." said the Ward 3 regional councillor. The problem arose shortly after council voted to allow .hunting to continue north of Hwy. No. 7, despite opposition from surrounding residents. At the same time, hunting was prohibited near the North Pickering Trail. Councillor Fisher plans to meet with the Pickering Rod and Gun Club to discuss methods of curbing the discharge of weapons near the hiking route. "What I would like to see are signs put up around the area indicating no firearms," Mr. Fisher said. owned Ontario Land Cor- poration, which holds about 25,000 acres there, hopes to set wheels of the project in motion with an amendment to the Durham Region Official Plan. The first stage of residential construction for 22,500 new residents on 6,900 acres may begin in 1982. The P.O.P. leader, who currently has his group working on an alternative land use plan for the entire North Pickering area, says these government plans mean "they're chewing up good farmland." The former MPP for Durham West, explains he's not opposed to residential growth in Pickering, as long as it doesn't involve farms. Dr. Godfrey added, "There's lots of serviced in- dustrial land in south Pickering that's sitting idle. It makes economic sense to put that in- dustrial growth in the south end, because that's where the main transportation links are and where they already support services." Dr. Godfrey predicted the housing project will bring unemployment to the region and strain Durham's social services. "Most of the people moving into this area will be couples under 30, and the government won't be creating permanent employment for them," he explained. Two Pickering Town councillors, Norah Geraghty and Doug Dickerson, have expressed concern that the provincial government will ignore the local planning process while implementing the project. Support rental ' of community hall BROUGHAM — The Town of Pickering's executive committee has voted unanimously to maintain the hamlet's community hall and ballpark for residents, and will recommend Council grant the community $4,00o to upgrade the facilities. Before agreeing to continue renting the expropriated building from the federal government, Pickering Council asked Brougham citizens to show a meaningful parks and very extensive program exists and assured members both facilities will thrive. He expressed disap- pointment when Pickering recreation director Tom Quinn recommended only $2,500 be expended to bring the hall up to a "minimum standard". Mr. McGregor said, "There have been times when residents of Brougham have felt they are being ignored by Council. We're in a situation now where we not only need moral support, but financial assistance as well."

Adopting Section Of Duffin's A group from Picker- ing, assisted by the Min- istry of Natural Re- sources and Metro Region Conservation area and the Save our Streams Incorporated, are adopting a section of Duffins Creek. The idea is that the Pickering Naturalists, Pickering Rod and Gun Club and the 1st Pick- ering Scout Group, with the others will take over the care of the section of Duffins between High- way 401 and Highway 2. They met last Satur- day to survey the first project, the removal of the dam that lies midway between the two high- ways, and to put in a pool for the fish to rest in on their way up stream to spawn. The pool will also act as a jumping pool being deep enough to allow the Salmonand Rainbow Trout to gain sufficient momentum to clear the fast water at the ladder. The Ministry of Natural Resources is go- ing to put in a Lamprey Ell barrier further south than the present dam. Those who met last Saturday were Wayne McDonald, Roger Nuttal Owen Brett, Jerr^ Lock - land, Vern Mason, Steve La Forest, Barbara Car- utl,crs, Bob Liv Ligsion. M.P.

The federal government, however, should hold onto the 18,000 acres it expro- priated for the Pickering Airport and make it avail- able to farmers under long-term renewable leases, the former Ontario agriculture minister said in an interview. "I stand on what I said on March 2, 1972, and I haven't changed. There's no need for an airport." Newman, whose Durham -York riding in- cludes most of the airport zone, said he would prefer the land not be sold back to private ownership so it can be leased at reasonable cost to young farmers. People Or Planes wants the land sold back to guar- antee an airport will never be built, he suggested. "I think their concern is that someday they might still use it for an airport. If something is needed in 2010, fine. But I can't see it. "The big thing, whether yo have 20 year leases or five-year leases, is make sure you have appropriate people in there that aren't just renting a'farm to get a house. They're going to farm it." Newman, who resigned from the Ontario cabinet last month for health rea- V, 1111 sons, said he had been working on granting 10- year leases for provincial land in the area to help young farmers get estab- lished. I "I think it's great that young people are .coming out of agricultural colleges and are going back to farming," he said. "Here's land they can lease at a reasonable price to farm." A decision will have to be made by 1982 if the Pickering Airport is to be built, he said, but other transportation methods should be studied more seriously. Newman said a third terminal should be built at Malton. "There's no real runway problem at Malton; it's a people problem — all those people saying hello and goodbye and everything else. As far as I'm concern- ed, I don't think you'll ever see the second airport built." BillNewman Retires From After sev Ontario Minister of Agriculture, William G. Newman has left the Ontario Cabinet, due to ill health. Prior to his cabinet post change, Mr. New- man was Environmental Minister. He had been a member of the Ontario Legislature for several years and had been suc- cessful in several elec- tion campaigns. Bill Newman started his political career by getting elected to Pick- ering Town Council and working up through to the office of Deputy - Reeve and then Reeve. His many friends and supporters in this area will be sorry to learn that Mr. Newman's health is such that it has forced Cabinet eral years as him to leave the political arena. WILLIAM NEWMAN Quits because of W healtb Food m0 inister resigns portfolio DURHAM-YORK — The resignation of William G. (Bill) Newman from the Agriculture and Food Ministry, has been received with regret by Ontario Premier Wm. Davis. "He has served this government and the people of this province with commitment, enthusiasm and great dedication," said Premier Davis. "It's always difficult to agree to the resignation of one who has worked so hard and effectively, but when the minister's own health is the issue at stake, there is no choice but to respect the very difficult decision Mr. Newman has been forced to make". Bill Newman told The Tribune he will continue to represent the Riding of Durham -York. In commenting on his past portfolio, he said the work had brought him great satisfaction because, in his words, "agriculture is central to the economy of Ontario". His letter of resignation read in part: "I appreciate the confidence you (Mr. Davis) had in me to give me first the en- vironment portfolio and later the agriculture and food. You have always been a strong supporter of rural Ontario which was confirmed many times when you supported me during Cabinet discussions. Your at- titude in this regard gave me a lot of encouragement when I met farm groups across this province and worked with them to help find solutions to their problems". Bill Newman was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1967 and sub- sequently re-elected in 1971, 1975 and 1977. Previously, he served as councillor, deputy -reeve and reeve in the Twp. of Pickering. He and his family reside at Balsam. New mus GREENWOOD — The Pickering Museum has a new home in Greenwood, and when it officially re -opens, Saturday, visitors are assured of a treat. The annual Greenwood Festival and the opening ceremonies will be combined this year to make the day a memorable occasion. At- tractions will include antique cars, a craft display, and steam tractors. Lieutenant -- Governor Pauline McGibbon will deliver the opening address and unveil the plaque at the museum site. The move began in December last year when a few of the 13 structures were transported from Brougham to Greenwood, two miles away. The buildings include a hotel, a church, an Oddfellows Hall, several houses, shops, and a gas and steam barn. The structures and equipment date back to the 1800's. The museum will be in full operation by 1980. Thomas Quinn, Director of Parks and Recreation for the Town of Pickering, says many people have the feeling the museum is primarily "for those in the north." "It must be promoted as a place for everyone to enjoy," he said. The gas anti steam barn is TRAILER • Etc. MOD.

They planned to celebrate the occasion with a gathering of family relatives and close friends in Oshawa, Saturday .evening. Nothing more. However, both have resided in the area too long for that. The well-known and highly respected couple were the recipients of dozens of cards and good wishes, all of which adorn the living room of their neat - as -a -pin home on Balsam Road, south of Hwy. 7. They've lived there three years. Mr. Barclay, a native of Pickering, was born at lot 19, cone. 6, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Barclay. He attended Mount Pleasant Public School on the 7th con- cession and Claremont Continuation School. Mrs. Barclay, the former Rowena Cooper, calls Claremont `home' although she lived for a time in Chazy, New York. Her parents were Frank and Mary Cooper. Rev. Alex McLellan united them in marriage, Sept. 14, 1929 and they immediately departed on a honeymoon trip to Chazy in Frank's 1928 Durant coupe.

Bill _ has been Minister of Agriculture for several years and - has been a resident of the Pickering area all his life. After graduating from Agriculture College, he man- aged his father's farms for several years, and in fact never got very far from the land at anytime. His first venture into politics was at the municipal level when 1,e got elected to the Pickering Council. Fie moved up to Deputy -Reeve, then was elected Reeve. Bill did a good job while on the local council and he always did his homework. Doing a good job at the municipal level prepared him for the provincial level and he has been through many campaigns as a victor. Bill Newman as a member of the Ontario government always gave his best for his own riding. When he be- came a minister, a lot of his time had to be spent out in the province. Despite this, when he got home, he looked after the calls from his own constituents. It is with regret that we have to see Bill give up his post. He -did a very good job and most people in this area, whether of his politics or some other party, always l felt they could go to Bill with a problem and he would look after it. The man who takes over from Bill Newman will have I a __ . to be wearing pretty large shoes.

North Pickering CitV n med PICKERING — "Seaton" has been selected by the Board of Directors of the Ontario Land Corporation as the official name for an urban community in the North Pickering planning area in Durham Region, housing Minister Claude Bennett an- nounced today. Seaton encompasses 7,000 acres on the eastern portion of a 25,200 acre planning area and is located on the east side of West Duff in Creek within the Town of Pickering. It is presently designated a "Major Urban Area" in Durham's Official Plan and will be developed by the Ontario Land Corporation, an agency of the government of Ontario for an eventual population of 75,000 to 90,000 over a 25-year development period. Bennett said OLC will be making application later this month to the Region of Durham for an amendment to the Region's O.P. describing the various land uses within Seaton. The minister also indicated that Robert N. McDonald, chief executive officer of OLC, is planning to make a presen- tation, Nov. 14 t^ a joint meeting of Durham and the Town of Pickering councils detailing the corporations long-term plan for Seaton. The name for the new planned community was selected in honor of Lord Seaton, Sir John Colborne, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada (1828-1836). Considered first of Canada's ablest founders, Lord Seaton encouraged immigration and agriculture in the rural areas around York (Toronto). Through his effort, land east of Toronto in the Pickering area was settled in the mid 1800's by English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh families who set up farms and helped improve local commerce. Lord Seaton also founded Two area M.P.'s • Oppose, PICKERING — Two federal government MPs will publicly encourage Transport Minister Donald Mazankowski to drop plans for Pickering Airport and a Toronto Island Short Take -off and Landing (STOL) port, it was announced in a news conference recently. Ontario Riding MP Scott Fennell and Toronto -Beaches MP Robin Richardson put forward a co-ordinated air plan which calls for construction of STOL ports at Downsview and South Pickering. "This country can't afford a billion dollar expenditure for a major airport," MP Scott Fennell said. "Especially when it's not needed. And a downtown Toronto STOLport is senseless. STOLports, if their convenience is to be maximized, should be located near the suburbs." There are presently proposals for a fourth runway and a third terminal building at Malton in conjunction with a scaled -down Pickering airport. The new Pickering plan calls for a one -runway operation and modest terminal for late -night passenger and cargo flights. About 43,000 acres of prime farmland were earmarked by the federal government in 1972 for the airport. But Fennell doesn't agree with the suggestion. "Pickering doesn't want a major international airport, or a scaled -down one -runway. If we locate a STOLport in the south of the expropriated area, 42,800 of 43,000 acres of farmland will be THE TRIBUr Upp impr for pt cums SE desig comrr. housh styles tensiv schoo mer6 space.

A thriving, stable and productive community wouid develop in North Pickering, as opposed to the present sterile site super- vised by the federal govern- ment," he said. Fennell and Richardson feel the previous government had inconsistent transportation policies because it failed to solicit public input. They are hoping people with an interest in Toronto -area air traffic will let their views be made known to them. "I'm optimistic that people will let us know their views," said Fennell. "Ours is both a political and a technical proposal. We represent our ridings, not an insensitive government department." The two MPs are hoping their "teamwork approach" will impress Mazankowski when he considers their proposal.,, w M Ladies from Institutes all over the region time members, Mrs. Clara Carson, right, and came to help the Claremont chapter celebrate its Mrs. Aldine Evans, left, who posed with President 70.th anniversary.

Seventy years of service CLAREMONT — About one hundred ladies came to the Community Centre Oct. 17, to celebrate the loth anniversary of the Claremont Women's Institute. They were greeted at the door by life -time members, Mrs. Clara Carson and Mrs. Aldine Evans. Ladies from Institutes at Altona, Ajax, Brougham, Goodwood, Greenbank, Honeydale, Kinsale, Myrtle, Scugog Island, Shirley, and Stouffville joined in the celebration. Former presidents, Mrs. George McConnell, Aurora; Mrs. Melvin Johnson, Orillia; Mrs. John Badgerow, Stouff- ville; and Mrs. Lloyd Pugh of Pickering also attended. 11" The program included greetings from District President, Mrs. Henry Wotten of Blackstock; a musical interlude by Rosemary Timms and Jean Drake, and a tap dance by Karen Carson. Mrs. Clara Carson provided a history of accomplishments by the Institute during the past seventy years. Mrs. Betty DeVitt and Mrs. Maud Anderson disDlaved their lovely doll collections. The anniversary cake, decorated with the blue and Yellow Women's Institute crest, was baked by Mrs. Jean Norton. Lunch was served following the program. Seventy years for IniJsw Nrtn �cer CLAREMONT — On Feb. 9, 1909, the Claremont Women's institute was formed, and in about a week, members will be celebrating the organization's loth anniversary. Dorothy Britton has been President for 10 of those 70 years, and says she's enjoyed the experience. But there are presently or-?y about 24 active members, and Dorothy feels the Institute has lost some of the prominence it once had in the community. :There are so many other service clubs in the area, and they are able to do things we can't afford. Today, I think our role is more to educate women in home -making, rather than provide services to the com- munity," says Dorothy. Women's Institutes can be found world-wide, and the basic concept of their formation is "to make better homes and a better community". The Claremont ladies meet on the third Wednesday of each month for just this purpose. For three hours in the afternoon, members speak on topics they have chosen, learn tips on cooking and sewing, and socialize with friends. The club used to cater to gala events, but now other organizations with more members and better facilities have become involved.' Membership is only a dollar a year, and a collection is taken Teacher exchangu&--Sn; DURHAM REGION --- Regional Trustee Linda Carder would like to see more teacher exchanges between Boards, provinces, and countries. She also feels a teacher at a school more than five years should be told to consider a position at another location. "Often teachers become comfortable in their jobs, and get so used to doing things a certain wa-v, they are unable to contribute new ideas." She said charges are necessary in any institution, but unfortunately new teachers, who are not "pre-programmed" and car. give valuable input, are often supressed by the old system and particularly the other staff who like to keep thing.T,the way they are. "Exchanges are not mandatory, and a teacher can ask for a year at a school of his choice. Wben he returns from this experience, he can relate it to the students." The teacher exchanges are a valuable way of introducing change, she said, but change is slow. "Just look at government," she said. "Things get done slowly when there's a lot of paperwork involved." at each meeting. The dues are put toward starting Institutes in isolated places, like the Canadian North. The Claremont chapter has accomplished several wor- thwhile projects to make the lives of others more pleasant.

Historic school gets council's support PICKERING - The old Greenwood school, once attended by former prime minister John Diefen- baker, will get the funds necessary to restore and retain its historical value as a public library. At Monday's council meeting, it was decided to grant the Pickering Public Library Board additional funds of $78,000 to go ahead with the project. A year ago, council approved the project in principle but requested that the library board find more funding. Gwen Mowbray, chairman, reported to council on Monday that The Ontario Heritage Foundation had agreed to supply a grant in the amount of $30,000 and Promised to pay half the cost of the furnishings estimated at $6,000. Councillor Norah Geraghty put a motion before council that the town supply the remaining funds to the board contingent upon the school board making the property available to the town for a nominal fee, a maximum of $10. "There is no question of the need for a library," said Geraghty. She in- dicated that the library would be next door to a regional school and would Provide facilities for the village and the children who do not have library I facilities available. She r also said, "The restoration for historic a value is a valid one." t. Councillor Laurie r Cahill said he would rather build a new h library, but supported the h motion on the basis that 1 the school would be ob- tained from the school board for $10, which he indicated he doubted.

Norah is intelligent, informed, concerned. To the editor: On July 30, 1 attended yet another i meeting at the municipal buildi _ Pickering. At each meeting I have attended and, indeed, July 30's meeting-- I have been greatly impressed with councillor Norah Geraghty. This intelligent, informed and concerned woman carries out her duties as councillor in an admirable manner. Mrs. Geraghty has the courage of her convictions, a rare and refreshing quality in politicians today. She shines like a bright star in the town council chambers. The ratepayers of Ward 3 are indeed for- tunate to have a person of Mrs. Geraghty's calibre as one of our representatives on council. "With the next municipal elections to take place in the fall of 1980, I would urge all ratepayers to attend more council meetings to see how their elected representatives deal with the town's business. They may be dismayed, or, as in my case, delighted, to see their particular representatives in action. Councillor Geraghty appears to be a person with considerable capabilities and a very bright future in municipal politics if she so desires. Anne Mason, Pickeriniz Unit By JOAN RANSBERRY AJAX-PICKERING - Despite partial blindness, 80 ear -old Margaret Frew of Pickering maintains a arge home and remains independent. When she does need assistance, help is a phone call sway. Frew is one of 150 people who call the Ajax - Pickering Community Care Association every month for assistance. Community Care, partially funded by the Ajax- ickering United Way, is a non-profit organization Idictoviding services to senior citizens, the han- apped, and those in special need where such services are not otherwise available within the community. Frew contacts Community Care when she needs transportation for medical appointments, shopping, or when she needs someone to do maintenance at her home. "I started using the Community Care services two years ago and find it very useful," says Frew. Frew says she "knows every nook and cranny" of her spacious home and is quite able to tend to her meals and housekeeping she explains. "But, doctors appointments and grocery shopping present a problem. This is when I call Community Care". Elaine Hlady, coordinator of Ajax -Pickering Community Care, says Community Care "acts as a gap service." We do not duplicate what other associations have to offer", she says. There is always a tremendous need for more volunteers to drive people to necessary ap- pointments. Some senior citizens must travel on three separate buses to reach the local hospital (Ajax - Pickering) from Bay Ridges. Community Care volunteers pick seniors up at their. homes and drive them directly to the hospital and home again. Besides offering rides, the volunteers also help in such home maintenance as washing windows, cutting grass, or doing yard work. THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 8,1979--9 ed Way helps through Community Care This year, the Ajax -Pickering United Way has allotted $5,800 to the local Community Care Association. The 1979 United Way campaign will be officially launched on Monday, September 12. Over $140,000 will be collected in order that agenciek such as the Ajax -Pickering Community Care can continue to offer vital services to the community. Murray Stroud, United Way campaign chairman, says that "all 14 agencies will get every cent they need". Community Care takes care of Frew's tran- sportation needs and eliminates the problem. Frew's independence wasn't acquired in her senior years. For over 30 years, the Pickering resident handled a full-time career as a dress designer. She travelled on business to such places as Australia and Europe. In addition, Frew and her husband raised a son and a daughter. "My son lives in Bramalea and my daughter in Maine. Despite the distance, she maintains a solid relationship with her children and grandchildren. Mr. Frew passed away a few years ago. The organizers of Community Care are aware of the financial implications of driving people to ap- pointments. Volunteers are reimbursed for tran- sportation cost, and if a client is able to offer payment for transportation, it is accepted. Frew pays for the services. "I'm able to pay. I'm a very proud person and wouldn't take anything from anyone," she states. For those not able to pay for the service, the cost is handled by Community Care. "The volunteers associated with Community Care are tremendous people," says Frew. She adds, "I even got someone from Community Care to help pave my driveway." Anyone interested in volunteering for Community Care should call 839-5505. Stroud, divisional chairmen and a host of volun- teers have organized an extensive campaign. "Every resource in Ajax and Pickering will be tapped to assure that people like Margaret Frew can remain independent and happy in the local community. The following is a list of agencies supported by the Ajax -Pickering United Way and the tentative allocations for 1980: Ajax -Pickering -Whitby Association for Retarded Children - $12,000; Big Brothers Association - 15,632; Canadian National Institute for the Blind - $12,600; Canadian Red Cross Society, Ajax - Pickering Branch - $38,700; Com- munity Care - $5,800; Distress Centre - $3,300; Handicapped Children's Swim Program $850; Hostel Services $2,500; Mental Health Durham - $6,200; Multiple Sclerosis -Society $1,000; Oshawa and District Counselling Service $2,000; St. John Ambulance - $5,000; Social Planning Council - $19,550; Victorian Order of Nurses - $8,000; Special Agency grants - $10,000, Anyone interested in more information on the Ajax - Pickering United Way campaign should call Sally Burton, executive director at 686-0606.

OTTAWA (CP) s Arthur Tremblay, regarded as a strong Quebec nationalist and a father of the Liberal Quiet Revolution in that province, will sit as a Conserv- ative in the Senate. The appointment of Tremblay, 62, was one of three an- nounced by Prime Minister Joe Clark yesterday and brings to 24 the number of Tories in the 104-seat Senate. The other two are Guy Charbonneau, 57, Conservative fund collector in Quebec, and Martha Bielish, 63, long- time Alberta Tory. The new appointments leave five vacancies in the Sen- ate and these are expected to be filled in the next few weeks. Liberal majority The Liberals still have an overwhelming majority in the Senate with 71 seats. The remaining vacancies are two in New Brunswick and one each in Manitoba, New- foundland and Prince Edward Island. Tremblay, an officer of the Order of Canada, is a close friend of External Affairs Minister Flora MacDonald. As a deputy minister of education in the Liberal gov- ernment of Jean Lesage in the 1960s he was regarded as one of the main architects of the Quiet Revolution, the birth of modern Quebec nationalism. He has held a number of positions with Liberal govern- ments, the last as deputy minister of intergovernmental affairs under Robert Bourassa. The prime minister's office hinted that Clark will make use of Tremblay's knowledge of Quebec by giving him a special advisory status. Charbonneau, president of an insurance company is vice-chairman of the Conservative Canada Fund of Que- bec and party finance chairman in Quebec. The appointment of Mrs. Bielish kills one recurrent rumor on Parliament Hill: That Marcel Lambert, veter- an Tory MP from Edmonton, was to be appointed to the Senate to take the Speaker's chair. Mrs. Bielish has been involved in Women's Institute work for manv years. She is a former president of the Federated Women 's institutes of Canada and former council member of the Associated Country Women of the World. 4-H Club Shows Creations Durham members of the 4-H homemaker clubs will display some of their needlepoint cre- ations at the 4-H achievement program tomorrow night at St. Bernadettes parish centre in Ajax, starting at 7:30 p.m. Members from Ontario South clubs will be presented with awards during the even- ing.

Airport Not Needed Till Year 2000 Transport Minister Don Mazankowski said Monday morning that expansion of Toronto international Airport could make it possible for the facility to serve the community for a decade or longer. A fixed term of 10-15 years should be set during which time continuing alternative use of the land would be guaran- teed. "My hard lobbying has Paid off." said Ontario Riding M.P. Scott Fennell immedi- ately after Transport Minister Don Mazan- kowski's statement Monday on the expropri- ation of airport lands. "He wants to guaran- tee a long term use of the land for 10-15 years. I'm more optimistic. I don't think a second major airport even has to be considered till the year 2000." Fennell said, "Now it's time to seriously consider proposals sim- ilar to those of People or Planes while retaining government ownership of the land.

In March of 1978 1 made a decision to run for the Federal Parliament and before making that decision set forth my priorities and reasons for becoming involved in the parliamentary process. From that time till now my convictions have not changed. However, the changes that I'd hoped to accomplish, I realize now will be much slower forthcoming than I had originally anticipated due to the immense bureaucratic sys- tem within which a democracy operates. Leaving the private sector and moving to Parliament requires going through a total- ly new educational process and because of this it is necessary to spend a minimum of four hours a day and upwards to eight to ten hours a day of constant reading to familiarize myself with the many facets of government and in particular those areas which coincidentally were and still remain my major interests. 1. My first priority is to somehow bring some sense to the democratic process and to shrink the size of government which has become more of an impediment to the electorate than an advantage. This, I appreciate, will take time but it can be ac- complished through the following steps: a. Avoiding duplication of effort by various departments. b. Disposing of Crown Corporations that have basically outlived their usefulness. C. Reviewing each Departmentin Government to eliminate the various "little em- pires" that have been created by some of the longtime bureaucrats. d. Instituting Sunset Laws in the Federal Government to provide a review of each agency over a five year period so as to monitor its usefulness and determine whether it is serving the purpose for which it was originally conceived.

DURHAM-YORK RIDING At this time of year, the holiday season gives us all -- the occasion to express time-honoured thoughts of appreciation for countless friends and the warmest wishes for continued health and happiness throughout the new year. This year, I have decided that the major job of sending holiday greeting cards throughout the Durham -York area, while a desirable project, has become wastefully expensive when there are so many worthwhile local charities that could benefit from money that is normally spent in such things as Christmas postage. Accordingly, for the first time, I have made donations to five deserving groups in this Riding that can make more productive use of the funds that were formerly spent in buying greeting cards and sending them to friends and residents throughout the widespread Durham -York area. I hope that this change of emphasis will not be misunderstood by those who do not receive a personal holiday greeting from Molly and me this Christmas. Please appreciate with us the fact that the money represented by our Christmas card mailing is being put to more worthwhile uses by some of our less privileged Durham -York neighbors. Women ask ban on TV hygiene ads A ban on television advertising of feminine hy- giene products is being sought by the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario. May Brown of Washago, a spokesman for the insti- tute, said the request came after institute members wrote hundreds of letters to manufacturers of the products complaining without success about the ads. Send brief Mrs. Brown said the group will send a brief to the Canadian Radio -televi- sion and Telecommunica- tions Commission asking it to amend the restricted use of the ads to allow for a complete ban. Currently, advertise- ments for feminine hy- giene products can be aired on television between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and after 9 P.M. "We are not satisfied with these hours," said Mrs. Brown. "Many chil- dren are home during the day, especially in the win- ter, so they're able to see the ads. `Embarrassing' "And at night it is terri• bly embarrassing to be sit. ting with a mixed group of teenagers who are still up and have the ads appear."

Oshawa Mayor Jim Potticary said during the two hour discussion on the issue that, if the addition was put on, "some taxpayers would come down here and blow the building up." He said the project was ill- advised and too expensive, adding that taxes would increase by three percent to pay for it. He said this was not the time to consider such a project, when all other governments are cutting back, and that council should listen to the people. Potticary suggested that when times were better the region should build a new building altogether. But, for now, he said, "we can't afford it and the taxpayers can't afford it." Councillor Gerry Fisher said he would have sup- ported the motion if it was made some years ago to bring all departments under one roof, but, con- sidering expansion today, people were forgetting that "today's expensive."

Will Ajax Become Another Love Canal? by Charlotte Gentles "We all must speak at the Environmental Assess- ment Hearing," Mrs. Pat Brown told an overflow aud- ience at the Ajax Community Centre. The Concerned Citizens not only attracted people from the Ajax area, they attracted Metro Toronto Television Stations. The public in general is concerned about the dumping of ,Industrial Liquid Wastes and the proposed treatment for such wastes willy-nilly throughout the province. It was learned during the meeting Dec. 11th. the Ministry of Environment has at least two other Industrial waste plant sites under discussion. The concerned Citizens Committee is strongly op- posed to the proposal to convert the Ajax Sewage Treat- ment plant on Valley Road into an Industrial Liquid Waste Treatment plant. They are opposed as the "pro- posed site is wrong. This plant will be less than three-- quarters of a mile from the nearest house." Concern was also expressed about the quality of the drinking water. The outlet pipe for this industrial waste plant will be about two kilometres, about a mile and a half, from the "drinking water intake pipe." As Mrs. Brown presented the brief to the approximately 200 people present she said, "we have been horrified to learn that cyanide wastes will be stored and treated.at this proposed plant. The Simcoe Engineering people who did this preliminary study have admitted that cyan- ide IS a problem, and that nobody in the waste disposal industry really knows how to treat cyanide wastes eff- ectively. This will be only one of the effluents going into our lake." "We all must speak at the Hearing (The Environ- mental Assessment Hearing Dec. 17th, Ajax), Mrs. Pat Brown said. "The only way we can be heard is by being involved." 7ML7XIN P1 - .sw r -jA By Jo -Ann Thompson Mall Parkway {I� PICKERING — A satellite city of between 75 and 90,000 People in the heart of rural Pickering?

This election will have a cost the Canadian public $100 million in the same year and the end results in February will be something of interest, if nothing better than we have had before. Joe Clark and his party have been in power less than seven months, and it is interesting to note that over the years, the Conservatives have had the least time in power. In his election promises he gave a lot of people hope that he could right the ship and get us on the right course again. He was not able to do this because of the present economic situation. He made promises he must have known he could not keep, but then again a man who is desperate to become a leader and have power can get a little off base. The budget brought down last week was what brought. down the government, and it is good, but amusing to read that the gas hike has already been dropped and people are being asked to go back to the gas dealers and try and get a rebate. Unless the car driver had a receipt from a certain service station, he has little hope of getting his money back. In the meantime the Liberal caucus has decided it wants Pierre Trudeau to again lead the party and act as Prime Minister if elected. It will be interesting to see how the people of Canada will react to it. How much would you like to bet that Norm Cafik will be giving serious consideration to returning to the political front? Yes, this should be a very interesting election, but what is there to choose from, that will be one of the hardest questions of all to decide. rs00 "AM L Seaton Will Have Strong Influence on Ajax By Charlotte Gentles Ajax. Regional ILouncillor Bill McLean, in making his report to the Ajax Council at its regular meeting, poin- ted out it was his practice to report on activities that would have a direct affect on Ajax, and those residents of Ajax. But he broke his practice to report on the development of the North Pickering Community, now known as Seaton. He said it will not have a direct affect on Ajax but "it will very definitely have a strong indirect affect on Ajax. " The Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Land Cor- poration R.M. McDonald on November 14th appeared before the Regional Council to outline plans for the d development of the North Pickering project lands. The corporation has applied to amend the Region's Official Plan to designate land uses and a transportation net- work within the North Pickering (Seaton) Major Urban area. The lands proposed for development border on Ajax's west boundary, north of the C.P.R. tracks, south of the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks on Ajax's west border, the lands are designated as part of Seaton's open space system. The corporation plans to commence the first phase of the development of a community of 75,000-90,000 people in 1982, Councillor McLean reported. Of the 21,000 acres owned by the corporation in North Pick- ering, about 7,000 acres will be used to develop Seaton. The development of this acreage will include both resi dential and industrial projects. Approximately 8,000 acres has been set aside for open space abutting the west and southern portion of the total site, and 10,000 acres will be retained for agricultural purposes immediately west of the community. The initial 6,000 units, which will house 16,000 units of the first phase, will be based in the southeast corner of Seaton. Councillor McLean reported that, the most easterly portion of the Seaton community, beside,the Ajax bor. der, is being designated for industrial development. The plan is to construct 250 units in 1982, 450 units in 1983, 550 units in 1984, 740 units in 1985 and 900 units in 1986. This leaves 1,500 units to be constructed in each of 1987 and 1988. The Ontario Land Corporation will service the developable land then sell the serviced land to private enterprise for construction. It was indicated by the corporation that it will develop 600 acres of this land between 1982 and 1988, but it was not able to identify in what years this construction might take place nor the type of industrial construction that could be anticipated. In Councillor McLean's opinion, "it is extremely important that industrial development occur at the same time as residential development to help offset the cost of services to the residential taxpayer." It has not indicated whether the province will be pro. viding any financial incentives for industry to locate in Seaton. By the same token the corporation has not indicated as to whether, other than the usual lot levies, additional grants will be available from the province to offset the substantial additional services this project will require. These services will require a major expan- sion to the water services, substantial improvements to existing regional roads in the area and the volume of traffic which will be generated by the project, "will likelv initiate a requirement for additional regional Councillor McLean also pointed out that sewage treatment capacity will be available in the York-Dur ham Sewage Treatment Plant, and the corporation will have to provide the trunk sewers to reach the big pipe. No indication was provided as to whether the province will be assisting with the soft services which will even- tually be required in the area. While it is unlikely that a significent welfare assistance payments or family coun- selling services will be initially required, it is most likely that these types of soft services will be required in the long run. Councillor McLean said he could "imagine that regional daycare centres will be required by residents before long." Councillor McLean reported that the Region can approve an Official Plan amendment which accom- modates sufficient opportunity for industrial as well as residential growth. The Town of Pickering will have the responsibility for rezoning land. Both the Region and the Town of Pickering will have responsibilities in recommending approval of plans of subdivision to the Minister of Housing. A condition or approval will likely be that the Ontario Land Corporation meet the financial and other requirements of the Region and the Town of Pickering. The Ontario Land Corporation has indicated that the province will not use undue influence in securing approval of the development, and the cor- poration will follow approval procedures laid down for more conventional developers. He stated that during Regional Council member's question period Mr. McDonald admitted that "no financial impact study had been done to determine what the impact would be on the Region or on the municipalities in the Region. Mr. McDonald indicated that a study could be done and would be funded by the corporation if the municipalities wished such a study to be done. The study would review the impact on the growth of the Region and the impact on existing tax- payers." Mr. McDonald refused to reply to the question as to whether the Ontario Land Corporation would "push it" through the province if Regional Council refused to approve the Official Plan amendment application. Councillor McLean reported that replying to the request to comment on the general effect Seaton wil; have on the Region, Mr. McDonald gave his indi- cations. He indicated that by putting Seaton in the Region it will put the Region in a better competitive position than if the same amount of development was permitted to occur scattered throughout the Region. He also indicated dh_ ?row significantly unless Seaton is. there to bring industry and population to the Region." Councillor McLean pointed out that the steps which are to be followed for this Official Plan amendment application. They are; the public is invited to submit comments on the proposed development in, at least, 30 days to the Region and to the municipality in which they live. The Board of Education, Town of Pickering, et cetra, are being asked for their comments and to hold local public meetings, as may be required. This will take approximately 60 days, then the Region's Planning staff will require four weeks to review the material and prepare a report for the Region's Planning Committee. He said providing no problems develop during this pro- cess, Seaton could be before the Region's Planning Committee in the middle of March of next year.

Cafik, who represented the riding for 11 years until his defeat in last May's federal election, said in a telephone interview from his Vancouver home he has advised Liberal officials to look for another candi- date. At least three candidates are now committed to seeking the Liberal nomina- tion at a meeting in Pickering Village next Monday. The former minister of state for multi- culturalism moved his family to Vancou- ver in September after obtaining a senior position with a B.C. manufacturing firm. "I miss Ontario Riding and the people there," Cafik said. "But I'm extremely happy doing what I'm doing." He added he is confident the Liberals can win back the riding in the Feb. 18 election. "I'm convinced whoever gets the nomi- nation will take the riding. I'm sure if I ran I'd win and I'd go right back into the cabinet." Bruce Findlay, a Toronto public rela- tions executive who lives in Claremont, announced Monday he will contest the Liberal nomination. Findlay, a native of Toronto, was raised in Oshawa. Pickering Regional Councillor Doug Dickerson has also announced that he will seek the nomination at Monday's 8 p.m. meeting at Pickering High School. He said he reconsidered his earlier decision not to _run after being urged to enter the race by a number of party supporters. Ron Sproule of Pickering, a former spe- cial assistant to Cafik, confirmed ,yester- day he hopes to win the Liberal nomina- tion. Sproule has served in several posi- tions on both the riding and national Liberal party executive. Ajax school Trustee Bill McCracken, however, has withdrawn from the contest for the Liberal nomination. He attributed his change of mind chiefly to his involve- ment with a local citizen group in the cur- rent controversy over a liquid waste treatment plant in Ajax. Meanwhile, Ajax Mayor Clark Mason said yesterday he will not attempt to win the Progressive Conservative nomination tomorrow night from MP Scott Fennell. Mason said he wad aware of reports that he might run, but the sudden defeat of the government gave him too little time to consider the matter. "It just hit everybody too damn fast." The PC nomination meeting will be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Harwood Second- ary School. The NDP candidate in Ontario Riding is high school teacher Geoff Rison. 1-9.-70 s drought mixed blessings Pickering got industry and nuclear plant —but no airport By Godfrey Booth PICKERING — The 70s were years of mixed bless- ing for this growing town.

Keith Holtz, a witness for the Ministry of the En- vironment, testified at a provincial court hearing in Ajax. His testimony was related to a charge against the Claremont branch of the United Co- operative of Ontario under the Fisheries Act of Canada. It is alleged that because of water contamination, 500 brook trout died in the stream last May. Maximum penalty under the act is a $50,000 fine. The plant, located in the north end of Claremont near the C.P.R. line, produces ammonia that's used in fertilizing corn crops. When the ammonia is mixed with water, it creates a chemical called ammonia hydroxide. The acid content is quite high. After production, the water is dumped into a moat then pumped into a swamp, some distance from the creek. According to evidence, the accident occurred when a control valve broke, forcing the ammonia to be pumped into the moat which then emptied into the stream. Chemist Joan Crowther did the analysis on water samples taken after the spill. However, she wasn't available to validate the test results, so the trial was adjourned to Feb. 14. finis sign marks the area in which 500 brook trout died in the Duffin Creek last May due to ammonia spills upstream. A professional biologist recently testified at a hearing relating to a charge against the Claremont branch of the United Co-operative of Ontario that the ammonia used by the company in fertilizing corn crops was toxic enough to kill the fish.
