During an interview aft_ - last week's regiorai ce.mcl meeting, Herrema said he would like to sce tax increases for next year kept at a lower projected hike of 5 per cent.

The chairman expects ne :her project would begin construction in the tirnediate fume. Herrema reasoned it would be prudent to limit this year's tax increase in the hope that the region's economy will improve in the future. He added that repienishing either account shouldn't be an immediate priority. "I rnay not be successful (with this proposal)," Herrema said explaining a council resolution will be required to move money from dedicated reserve accounts. "I may be amirig off too much this year. But when you've got reserve accounts, you've maybe got to tse them." Tax increases ;have already been built into the next reg:orai budget and politicians wild have to dosely scram inize the region's financial inventory and human resources, the regional chairman said. He added that area residents are rejecting traditional excuses for raising taxes. Many simply don't accept rising welfare costs as an excuse for ri i q taxes every year, the chairman said. The issue of property taxes for 1993 was just one of the topics Hererna touched on during both formal and irforrnai discussion at regional council. The chairman predicts 1993 ME be an uncertain year. "I think this is a year when. I dont know what to anticipate. We (municipal politicians) have been lumped in with all governments. I think this is a year when we Ad have to explain what were providing."

A packed house at council chambers saw delegation after delegation appeal for the same thing during speeches to executive committee — no hike to this year's Pickering tax bill. During early January budget deliberations, local politicians had managed to pare dawn the town's capital and operating budget for 1993 to reflect a 4 per cent increase. By the end of Monday night's meeting, executive committee sliced a further lib per cent and will be looking to possibly chop even more during next week's council meeting. But those who came to speak Monday night let it be known they won't be satisfied with any tax increase. And they vented their feelings during a 2 -hour verbal barrage that started with Pickering Rural Association representative Fred Beer. He was a particular thorn in the side of local politicians — chastising them at every opportunity during the evening's budget debate. Beer accused council members of being poor managers and unwilling to keep the town's budget in line with tight fiscal times. "How and when will the Town Organizes Your Home Finances �.�cken r.�cls ;our ewccurately organized in one Dkice, so you don't have to worn;. • Xdates balances instantly. eliminating math errors. • '_�.7ows exactly how much you have in each account a! a glance. • i�_!concdes bank statements to the penny in minutes • : plates all records instantly when you make changes. address the economic realities of today?" Beer said, accusing the town of having no corporate direction. "Do you plan to ever stop tax increases?" Among the cost-cutting plans proposed by Beer were cancelling construction of a recently approved ice arena by the recreation centre, dosing the recreation centre itself or raising user fees so that the facility "pays its own way," and cutting low priority items to pay for those considered high priority. Seer quoted Statistics Canada figures that highlighted double digit unemployment and 500 personal and corporate bankruptcies in Pickering last year. Taxpayer Coalition representative Janis Frampton called the originally proposed 4 per cert tax hike "mind boggling." Most people in the community are faced with pay cuts, she said_ "People are bleeding," Frampton told the committee. 'It's time for a change in the way governments operate. You can't keep expecting increases. You can't keep taking. You have to learn to live within your means.' Another resident offered a personal illustration of the impact that a possible tax increase would have on her. The woman s husband has been unemployed for two years and she herself has been working a 20 -hour a week part-time job that was recently cut back to 12 haus a week. "I don't know how much longer we can survive — let alone pay our taxes," she said. Through proposals put forward by council members, the committee was able to trim the budget. The most significant cuts were those offered by Mayor Wayne Arthurs who suggested $70,000 reductions to staff contract negotiation allocations, a levy for fire seivices and operating costs to be determined by management staff. The mayor warned residents to expect cuts to some services and a higher cost for others if council is to eliminate continual property tax increases in the future. "We have to treat our residents and taxpayers more and more like customers — providing a service level at a cost," AnhrW�s said. However, the mayor added not everyone agrees with reducing town services. Many community groups and resident associations stili demand service additions and enhancemerts, he said. Other items like legal fees for the fight to oppose a Pickering dump must also have money allocated. Arthurs said he was generally satisfied with the town's budget "for the most part." He praised the efforts of staff and council to hammer out a responsible budget during earlier deliberations. "There is a strategy; he told those who suggested otherwise. "There is a process. I think that's being achieved." OPTOMETRISTS DR. E. GILLEZEAU & DR. M.

Approximately 400 people answered the call to arms at the Pickering Recreation Complex Thursday night during an informational meeting. They came to hear the latest news of the dump war and add ammunition — in the form of much-needed funds — for the next stage of the fight. Four of the five possible locations on an Interim: Waste Authority (IWA) shortlist for a new landfill site for Durham: Region — to replace Brock West — are within Pickering's borders. Pickering Aiax Citizens Together for the environment (PACT) and the Town of Pickering's Mayors' Citizen Task Force are mustering their resources to keep the next dump of of Pickerm g. PACT officials said they'll need at least $500,000 if the battle goes to the hearing stage. They ci:rrently have close to $80.000 in the "war chest," good for about two or three weeks of lega'. hearings. To that enc, money was being raised from the sa'.e of "foodiands savings certificates." The certificates entitle a buyer to a vote at a stakeholders meeting at the Metro East Trade Centre on Apel 1, where a new board will be elected in a mock election to make decisions or. the ft=e of the nort^. Pickering lands. PACT chairman Lloyd Thornas said current decision - makers like Premier Bob Rae, E.mrrormert Minster R=,h Grier and IWA chairman Walter Pitman %�!l be turfed in the eiection. "On April Fool's Day, we'll throw the fools alt," he said. Rae, Grier and Pitman were e invited to the meeting but declined. PACT will also try to raise money at a Dump the Dumps dance on March 6, and a SNOW DUMPS contest and a walkathon on May 29. "This could be a long and expensive fight and we need volunteers...to apply enough political pressure to get the public and private lands treated equally. By far the most important need will be fundraising," Thomas said. "Its irnportant to realize that if we don't stop this, the publicly - owned lands in Pickering could end up being the recipient of everything no one else wants in their own backyard. We are determined to stop this devastation to Pickering." Pitman and the IWA received the brunt of the attack from both head table guests and those in attendance who all called the selection process unfair. All prospective Pickering sites are on provincially -owned land — land expropriated for a planned airport in the early 1970s. PACT is convinced the IWA has its eye on those lands because of its convenience. "Had these lands been under private rather than pubiic Illegal dump may still be operating By Dan McLean A Pickering man fined $75,000 for operating what officials at the province's enwonmert ministry call 'one of the largest illegal dirnps eve• uncovered' may stiil be in business. On Dec. 17 a Whitby court fined Norman Eyers of R.R. #1 in Pickering for operating an illegal waste disposal site on Durham Road 23 near Highway 7. Eyers was fined under a section of the provinces Environmental Protection Act. According to an en virornno t ministry press release, WxWoads of construction waste consisting of wood, plaster, metal, drywall and other materials were dumped and wmW with earth. The clean, up cost could run as high as $750,000. Ministry investigators laid the charge back in 1991 after monitoring the site between June 1 and Oct. 31 that year. However, Stu Jarvis of the environment ministry's investigation and enforcement branch said Eyers continued to operate the illegal landfill right up until his sentencing date last month. Eyers court fine was imposed because he failed to comply with a dean -up order by the time of his sentencing, Jarvis said. "We're trying to find out whether we can enforce that order or not. Were waiting for an opinion from our legal branch," the ministry investigator told The Bay News. 'it appears (the dumping operation) went on after the charges were laid but may have stopped after the conviction. 1 don't know what's going to happen at this point," he added, saying the dump operator could conceivably continue using the property as a dump once the whiter chill ends. Jarvis said his department has done everything it can up to this pwt Ministry officials are concerned about the landscape damage that has already been done. But, Jarvis admitted, his department has had a difficult time stopping the operation or convinchg its owner to clean up the damage. "Itis hard to physically stop it Wed like to catch him in the act again." That would make it possible for ministry investigators to impose an even stiffer penaity. "AG we can do is sit back and wait and see," Jarvis lamented. "We're very much aware of this site and very concerned about ft. Were watching this one." Investigators discovered the illegal dump after numerous telephone calls were made to the ministry by area neighbors. Jarvis said iri<+estigators actually observed the illegal operation. "One of our it estigators saw it going on," he said I dolt know how the word got around. We kind of stumbled onto it When we saw truckloads going into this place." Jarvis described the dump as extremely large and positioned over a deep ravine. "It's probably the biggest one we've ever come across in Durham Region. lt's what we considered a large one." However, he was quick to reassure that the area has been tested for leachate and there are no concerns that groundwater may have been contaminated. The materiais dumped were not ta+dc, Jarvis said. ownership they would not have even been on the long list," Thomas said. "The IWA's reasoning for this is that all residents are renters and renters just don't have the same respect for the land as owners do. That's utter 'hogwash'." Thomas said the affected land, which is still being farmed, should remain agricultural. The IWA was also criticized for misleading the public on the capacity of Brock West. PACs' is convinced that the site is already full and should be closed immediately. Durham West MPP Jim Wiseman, who did show up and whose party is ultimately responsible for choosing the next iandfill site, also found himself in the line of fire from questioners. Wiseman was asked if he would support a private members bill to disband the IWA; if he would cross the floor if Pickering was eventuaiiy chosen to host the next dump. and why his fellow Nei Democrats won't consider other options such as shipping garbage by rail to Northern Ontano. The Durham West MPP responded by saying he would not want to disband the 1WA without a better alternative, that he would not cross the floor — "where would I go?" — and that he does not support the rail option. Wiseman, whose opposition to additional dumps in Pickering predates his 1990 election, says people must continue to pressure his government to end the uncertainty surrounding the north Pickering lands or "you will remain the doormat of Southern Ontario.* Pickering Mayor Wayne Ardm said the fM is try}i�na two "corq or and y_de by pitting �^'m OI ty against another in the dump wars. Arthurs, while pledging full support for the battle, said municipalities should be working together; with the provincial government and the IWA as common enemies, to demand a fair selection process - "We haws to bund community liaisons to try and derail this plan," he said. 'wi'hey haven't beaten us, nor are they going to, but they keep trying! A decision by the IWA on furire landfill sites in Durham, as well as York and Peel Regions and Metro, is expected in abotrt six months time. i Chairman slams numerous studies • From Page 1" giving us those lovingfeelings representatives to be more in haven't taken the time to tune with the people they words or less) account of represent by providing more write it down — there's still Information about regional that first meeting to: Love issues and decisions made in time.

Harrowing legal battle ends for Pickering councillor By Midiael Maunder Fo::teen mon's after charges were laid by police, the case of eiection fraud against Picke:.::g councilior Enrico P;.str:"o ^as been :.-row:. our of court. "It's like a breath of spring," said the cot: �cl r, st r rxied by ,ar .-y and friers anter provincial court Judge Sam Murphy dis.: ssed the charges Jan. 15. Many of the same family and friends have accompanied Pistrino to court or. 13 separate occasions over the last year as the case crawled through the legal sys em. In the end, none of them had to appea- as character witnesses, nor did Pist-no himself have to testify as the judge determined there was insufficient evidence for a charge. The case involved an incident during the November 1991 municipal election in which Pistritto won the local Ward 3 race. During the day he drove a 103 -year-old man to the posing station to vote. The man was misidentified and voted under the wrong name — Ernesto Mattachione. When the real Ernesto Mattachione turned up to vote later in the day, polling clerks discovered the error. They pointed it out to town clerk and chief returning officer Bruce Taylor, but no action was taken at the time. Polling clerks then took their suspicions to Pistritto s main rival, Judy Griffiths. She contacted police who investigated and laid the charge. It is only now after lifting a publication ban that details or the 13 previous court appearances car,. be reported. Much of it appears as a corned, of errors based on the rrspronunciation of Italian names. Evidence indicates the 103 - year -old mar: gave his name to the clerks — Matteo Dlasio — and somehow teas was misinterpreted as Mattachione, Ernesto. The 'somehow is the basis of the entire case Police felt Pistritto purposely aided in the misidentification with the hope of getting another vote. This interpretation was dismissed by the judge. Pistn-Lo himself, who never got the chance to testify, said he simply wanted to give the 103 year-oid a chance to vote. When he testified last March, D'fasio told the court that Pistritto asked him if he wanted to vote and said he would drive him to the polls. "He didn't tell me nothing," he said. "I vote my own way.* "He doesn't sound like a man that was going to be easily uifluericed," said Judge Murphy as he listened to defense attorney Bruce Affleclis ugumerrt that the case shoU d be dismissed. Affleck said the Crown had not proven the elements of its charge — that Pistritto fraudulently impersonated Ernesto Mattachione with the intent to gain advantage for himself, to wit receive and mtrdcipal election vote. The provincial court judge agreed - In his judgment, Judge Murphy said there was no evidence of any intern by Pistritto to gain advantage for himseT The evidence indicated Pistrltto s intention was to get Mr. D'lasio to vote, he said. As for impersonation, at best Pistritto assisted Mr. D'Iasio in impersonating Martachione. But there was no expectation that charges would be laid aganst the oid man, Judge Murphy added. Dlasio was eligible to vote but his own name was not on the voter's list because a computer had recorded him as being three years old. The computer only reads the last two digits on the year of birth, and thus recorded 1889 and 1989. Crown attorney Frank Giordano said afterwards it was not his decision whether to appeal the judge's dismissal. Nor was it his place to comment on why charges were laid in the first Pte• Many friends of Pistritto who have come again and again to cant over the last year ready to testify on his behalf, expressed joy at the dismissal. But many also expressed anger that the court took so long to remove the shadow Quer his repltiatioa. "It's cost him thousands and thaisands of dollars and a lot of stress and arunous days," said Lenore Hawley, Pistrittos former teacher from Piciming High wb was ready to testify as a diameter witness. Pistritto said it was not proper to reveal legal fees but did say he wished the case cotnld have been resolved without requiring 13 days off work to appear in cart. "I'm just glad it's over," he said. Abused women encouraged to speak out Women at risk of being victims of violence are being given special attention in a community consultation taking place in Durham Region and four nearby counties. The main objective of the consultations is to identify local priorities and barriers to service for women at risk of being abused. Minority, rural, native and women with disabilities will be given special emphasis in an effort to gather information on strategies that may better address their needs and diverse backgrounds. The Four Shelters Committee, comprised of directors of the four shelters — including Denise House in Oshawa — and outreach programs for abused women in Northumberland, Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton counties and Durham, as well as community and social services ministry supervisors, have hired the consulting firm of Rander & Associates for the project.

At a time when money is tight for virtually everyone, Regional Chairman Gary Herrema proposes making this year's unavoidable regional property tax hike a little more palatable. The chairman's plan to transfer $1.5 million from two reserve accounts toward the 1993 mill rate is a responsible and absolutely sensible move. The money will come largely from an account that is dedicated for construction of new regional municipal offices. It's a luxury expense that in this day and age is absolutely outrageous. It's a politically daring decision on the part of Herrema. He won't win any popularity contest with elected regional representatives from Oshawa — the area that economically speaking would benefit the most from new region facilities built in that city. For that very reason, the chairman's pian may never be approved, since transferring reserve money requires council endorsement. It so happens that Oshawa coux&rs occupy 11 of Durham Region's 32 council seats. -,But here's hoping the elected representatives of Oshawa see the wisdom of such a move. Oshawa has had more than its share of bad economic thews and surely taxpayers there will , A, - t h 1 a break. _Of course, there's the argument that the region would sot i1se up for "a Id& in the head" in The future by dipping low oweetles.

People that cared kept in touch with their heritage without jamming it down each others' throats. What is so terribly wrong with newcomers piling their first loyalty to Canada, wnhn1e primtely continuing and teaching to thew children those traditions they cherished back home, at thea own expense? Surely no one reasonable could find fault with that instead, in a field of controversy which has bedeviled all of mankind throughout the ages, governments, irtellecttah and consultants in multicultural expertise (whatever that is) are champiioning ethnic priorities contrary to the 9dests of the nation as a whole. However, with upwards of 60 different languages. each with a unique ethnic background, oro may ask if they will all be taught officially. If not, who chooses and assign the priorities?

It's absolutely essential to consider the existing character and makeup of the community. Development must not change this kind of place — it should enhance it. This is the challenge faced by the Kaidin Group Ltd. when the renowned builder came to Uxbridge looking to develop its 84 -unit Barton Farm Estates. Uxbridge is among the most unique towns in Durham Region. It was settled some 100 years ago and still retains much of the charming, rural character that people have come to associate with Uxbridge. 'R'e really tried to understand the community and market conditions,' said Kaitlin Group President Bill Daniell, explaining the philosophy behind Barton Farm Estates. 'Uxbridge is a small community and everybody seems to know everybody." The homes of Barton Farm Estates have been designed to reflect the unique heritage and charm of the surrounding area. This new community is named in honor of the family farm which occupies the site. It was one of the original settlements in the town and has been owned by the Barton family since 1916. Daniell described the homes being built as Victorian -style luxury houses featuring such touches as natural stone elevations, full clay brick construction, spectacular turrets, palladian windows, stately chimney, front porches and much more. Each home is constructed on a sprawling 60 -ft. lot which affords the builder a wide range of design styles. Eleven models — including two bungalow choices — are offered. home prices range from $189,900 to $274 9,000 — wi th the largest house measuring 3,145 sq. ft. The first phase of building will include 2" 1,)ts. Servicing work will begin in the spring and the first houses will begin construction sometime in August — with closings in November and December, Daniell said. The community's location in the northeast quadrant of Uxbridge makes it within walking distance of the town's main street. In addition, a large 30 -acre community park aptly named after Durham Region Chairman Gary Herrema — a former Uxbridge mayor will also be in place. The tomes will be as attractive inside as they are outside, Daniell insists. Quality features include marble flooring in foyers and powder rooms, 35 -ounce the development," Daniell said, explaining why Kaitlin Group has gone to so much trouble in its home designs and Peter w0imm Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O'Connor and Kaittin Group President RX DanieU unreel Barton Farm Estates broadloom, Series 800 colonial doors and wood -burning, full -height fireplaces in most homes. The homes are an open -concept design featuring circular staircases, vaulted, raised and cathedral ceilings, skylights and much more.
